No Case to Answer by Jo Stevenson 1971.
During a SEATO (South East Asian Treaty Organisation) Naval Exercise in the South China Sea on 3rd June 1969, the Australian Aircraft Carrier, HMAS Melbourne and the US Destroyer USS Evans collided in the dark. The Evans was split in two with 74 sailors lost.
The resulting inquiry, was controversial and was contested. While it eventually cleared the Melbourne, it left an inference of fault.
The Captain of the Melbourne Capt. John Stevenson was effectively demoted and fought to clear his name with some success. Being unable to state his case publicly due to Australian Crimes Act provisions, his wife Joanne collected the facts and presented them in this exposition, appropriately titled ‘No Case to Answer’. Once the controversy settled, Stevenson retired. Jo Stevenson died in 2012.
Published privately by Alpha Books 1971. Green cloth boards, 208 pages 14cm x 22cm.
The Australian Government issued an official apology (43 years later), to Captain Stevenson in 2012, for its treatment of him during the inquiry and aftermath.

A history of the collision :
My mother says I have been overtaken by a "cooking frenzy." This is, in large measure, true. I have not had a lot to photograph lately and cooking, for me anyway, is very therapeutic. So, even though I spent some time at work, answered lots of emails, sent several query letters about jobs and did other bits of this and that, I have still tried to fill me late afternoons with cooking.
There is something of a slump in the bar business and the photography business this time of year. Being idle makes me a little stir crazy and as I presently have nothing else to really devote my attention to once the day's work is done, I have been in my kitchen.
What you will find below is a sort of Beef Bourguignon or Beef Burgundy recipe. It owes a lot to the basic pot roast concept and relies heavily on hearty winter vegetables. You might want to read the recipe all the way through before trying it yourself as there are a few options of how to follow through with the process. The grilling, for instance, adds a little smokiness to the dish but is not necessary if you don't feel like firing up your grill. I can also see this dish being very successful with a reduction in some of the root vegetable and the addition of other winter staples like parsnips, whole garlic cloves or fennel bulbs. Anyway, have fun with it. These sorts of cuts of meat are very forgiving provided you give them long enough to break down a little over low heat and a long cooking time. If you try to rush it, you will end up with a tough roast, and no one appreciates that on a plate. Without further ado:
Beef Bourguignon
1 Beef Roast, about 2lbs (preferable Chuck or Round)
1 Large Yellow Onion, Diced
1 Bunch of Carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal
4 Medium Turnips, peeled, ½ inch chop
5 Medium Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled, ½ inch chop
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
3 tbsp Your favorite Dry Rub (you can mix up a batch of mine, recipe can be found here)
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Dry Mustard
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Dried Thyme
1 tbsp Dried Oregano
2 tbsp Canola Oil
1 tsp Smoked, Sweet Paprika
1 tbsp Paprika
1 Bay Leaf
1 Can of Lager Style Beer
1 Bottle Red Wine, just whatever you have around. It doesn’t have to be a Burgundy
3c Vegetable Broth
There are two ways to do this. One really just adds an aesthetic flourish but both
accomplish the same in, which is to brown the Roast. First heat your grill to its maximum heat (about 500F). Clean the grill well and oil the grate with the Canola Oil using an oil soaked paper towel held with tongs. Cover the Roast with the Dry Rub and allow to the meat to stand for a while so that it approaches room temperature. Sear the two largest sides of the Roast for about 16 minutes total, turning 90° at 4-minute intervals to achieve nice grill marks and flip it half way through the grilling.
Add the Olive Oil to a large, heavy bottomed, pot and heat it over medium heat. Take your seared Roast (or raw and if you are skipping the grilling part) and sear each side that didn’t get grilled (or the whole thing), one side at a time or until a nice fond has developed on the bottom of the pot and there is a notable browning of the meat. Remove the Roast and set aside. Add the Onions to the pot and stir. Then add in the Beer and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze ( get up all the tasty bits). Add the Garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, still over medium heat. Add about 1 cup of the red wine and allow the mixture to reduce until most of the liquid is gone. Add your herbs and spices— Dry Mustard, Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Oregano, Smoked Paprika and regular Paprika. Stir the whole concoction together then place the Roast in the middle of this flavorful and fine smelling mixture.
Surround the roast with the chopped Potatoes, Turnips and Carrots. Then add the remaining Red Wine and the Vegetable Stock. Stir enough to bring some of the Onion and spice mixture up from the bottom. Slip the Bay Leaf into the pot and allow the liquid to come back to a boil (about 5 minutes). Then reduce the heat and cook, securely covered and on low, for about 3 and 1/2 hours or until the Roast is fork tender. Flip the roast from time to time to ensure even cooking. Once the roast is falling apart, pull it apart a bit and allow to cook a while longer so that the liquids can permeate the interior of the Roast.
If you prefer your vegetables to hold a bit more of their shape then wait to add the Potatoes, Turnips and Carrots until the Roast and liquid combination has cooked for about an hour.

The 117th Rose Parade, featuring U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor as Grand Marshal, was held on Jan. 2 in observance of the Tournament’s “Never on Sunday” tradition. It rained throughout the parade, which began with an opening performance by Grammy Award-winner LeAnn Rimes. The parade theme was It’s Magical.
The 2006 Rose Bowl Game National Championship was held on Jan. 4 and featured two undefeated teams– No.1-ranked USC and No.2-ranked Texas Longhorns. Texas beat USC, 41-38, to earn the Longhorns their first national championship since 1970.

Answers:
1. The caudate nuclei and putamina are markedly and symmetrically atrophic, resulting in a ‘squared off’ and flattened appearance to the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles. Note also the generalized, symmetrical and non-specific cerebral atrophy, abnormal for the patient’s age, which is attributed to the secondary white matter damage that is thought to occur in grey matter degenerative disorders such as Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
2. The patient has genetically proven Huntington’s chorea, with a relatively low CAG repeat count at the location for Huntington gene on chromosome 4, which likely accounts for her late clinical presentation.
Handy references:

The elegant mural above the desk is "Eight Views of Mt. Pisgah" by Robert Johnson (b.1944). It is intended to suggest many environmental trajectories for the Blue Ridge area--some beneficial and some not. Worth considerable study, which, sadly, not that many passersby seem to give it.
Rolf your are right, the last photo was the Dom in Cologne.
Torsten, Jens, Dudu, Tobstone, Blackwings you are right too.
It is the "Kölner Dom", it's not Notre Dame, like this too.
But it is not the main entrance, it is the side to the railway station.
I was at Cologne the weekend to visit my sun which had birthday and who lifes at Cologne.

Kyocera's answer to the Canon T-Series, the Yashica 108 Multiprogram is a no-nonsense, awkward to hold SLR that came out in the 1980s and has a look and feel to boot. A C/Y mount gives it some draw because of higher quality CZ optics available, but overall a lack-lustre camera.

The Internet is an amazing tool when we are looking for answers.
Even though my car & cell phone both have GPS, I often check mapquest.com for directions before I leave, just to confirm what the GPS is telling me while en route.
When I'm looking for addresses, I go to anywho.com.
When I was looking for Sonny's previous owner I posted a "Dog Found" on FidoFinder.com.
If Sonny had been adopted through any of the rescue organizations I've worked with previously, he would not have been placed with me.
The ideal owner for Sonny would be an energetic person, probably in their 20s, who is an outdoors person - not a gray haired man over 50 who is a bit overweight.
The ideal canine companion for Sonny would be a bit older and slightly stronger dog to give Sonny some guidance. Instead, he has a very mellow and shy Jake for his canine companion. I am trying to fill the role of the stronger dog.
The ideal place for Sonny would be on a large farm in the country where he could run and run and run, instead of my place where I feel I need to keep him with me on a leash. I live in the country on a one acre lot, but it's a long street with over 40 homes. I don't think it is responsible for me to let him roam the neighborhood.
The options for Sonny when my co-worker found him were:
1. Let him run loose and wait for him to either be hit by a car or starve to death;
2, Call animal control, so he could be held the minimum number of days before being euthanized;
3. Have an animal lover who was not the best match for him take him and see what could be done.
I chose option #3.
Jake & I were a perfect match. Sonny & I are not a perfect match, but I think we are doing pretty good.
He is responding to his name, adapting to crate training, and knows there will be a treat or lots of affection when he poops or pees outside. He is learning that barking is not the way to get my attention. I think we have done amazingly well for just 3 days.
The biggest challenge is my back - will it hold out long enough for Sonny to be a long term member of my family. I needed two muscle relaxants between Nov. 1 & Nov. 19. I've needed them daily since Sonny arrived.
I think I need some professional assistance in dog training. I did an internet search for dog trainers in my area and came up with one link, only to discover it is broken. The internet has lots of answers, but not all of the answers. I will check with my vet tomorrow to see if they have any suggestions.
I need to log off to spend more time with Sonny and Jake. They had me for a few minutes when I got home from work. The cats have had me for a little over an hour. It's not a perfect situation, but nothing in life is perfect. The trick is to make less than perfect good enough.

The short answer is yes, it does. But this is a science myth that has been quoted all over the place.
Professor Trevor Cox and a team at Salford University recently did some research to get to the bottom of the problem with the help of willing volunteer, Daisy the duck. They found that a duck's quack does echo, but it is quite hard to hear the echo because of the quality of the quack sound. A sound that fades in and out (like a duck quack) makes an echo which can become mixed up with the original sound being made. This means it is hard to distinguish one from the other.
The other reason the myth may have arisen is because you don't often find ducks hanging around places where you commonly get echoes, like cliffs on a beach, or large cathedrals!
For more information visit the Salford University website.

Success of the LA Conservation Corps’ Paddle the LA River program is well documented. One of the program tenets is access to the river. To answer that call, program partner the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority developed ‘River Access for All,’ which offers kayak outings on rafts that can accommodate challenged children and adults and those with limited mobility.
“We wanted the boating experience to not be limited to a select group of people who can pay to paddle the Los Angeles River so we also required groups to submit a plan on community involvement and outreach,” said Lisa Sandoval, District realty specialist.
The program was booked solid as soon as it was announced and openings are rare, but with little more than a week before the final trip of the season, MRCA had a vacancy. After consulting with another program partner, Friends of the LA River, a call was made to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District.
“When the call came in from FoLAR that space was suddenly available in the MRCA program, one group came to mind,” said Jennie Ayala District outreach Coordinator and STEM program manager. “I remembered the passion of Tova and Sterling Barbour of the Veterans Advocacy Group of America. They’d contacted me for USACE support on an educational program they offer to veterans’ children.”
VAGA also reached out through veteran channels and in keeping with tradition, were able to fully book the opportunity for a group of veterans.
“One thing that we like to do is to give back, to see our veterans out here; the smile on their faces just means so much,” said Sterling. “Next year we are definitely going to do this again for our veterans, because it is so wonderful.”
These veterans were fairly ambulatory, although many still showed physical signs of their injuries, making them perfect candidates for the new program.
“With our inflatable rafts we’re able to accommodate various disabilities, we’ve had a variety of organizations come out,” said Fernando Gomez, Chief Ranger of the MRCA. “Today, VAGA was able to participate; one individual was blind and we had our first service dog. Because the KaBoat platform is so stable and if they aren’t able to paddle, they can leave it to the rangers.”
As a fully committed partner to the city’s Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan, the District’s own work on river ecosystem restoration plans to restore natural habitat where appropriate, improve water quality and enhance recreational benefits, all while maintaining its primary mission of flood damage reduction.
