45 yars is generally much too young for an asbestos roof to be ready for replacement.
Our house is 45 years old and has its original asbestos roof. We've experienced a few minor leaks and one roofer says the entire roof needs replacing, while others have yet to find the problem, but seem to think the roof is ok.
What is the lifespan for an asbestos tile roof? Isn't 45 years too young for it to call it quits?
I've got a victorian era home in Philadelphia with an asbestos tile roof that is probably 40-50 years old. Until I researched the topic with the aid of this website I did not even know it was permitted to undertake repairs on such roofs--I was told it was replace or nothing.
I am wondering if anyone could provide me with references to experienced roofers in this area that could do some moderate repairs. Thanks.
Look under the contractors directory by state. You should look under PA., NY, NJ, hopefully you can find one to assist you. This is really kind of late in the WORK year to find someone, almost everyone I know in this business is swamped this time of year. But, good luck you have a great roof with alot of life left in it, as long as you find a true professional slate and tile roofing contractor to perform the needed repairs and maintenance.
My wife and I are considering purchasing a house that has "belgian tile with an asbestos component". The house is 115 years old and we are told that the asbestos roof tile is probably the original roof tile. The owners had the roof looked at, and were told that the tiles were in good condition and would last another 100 years. Does this sound correct?
What is Belgium (sp?) roof tile? I am not familiar with that one.
What kind of drugs are you on?There is no way an asbestos roof could last a fourth of that length of time.
Hey slateman, this is Asbestosman and they already have lasted a fouth of that lenth of time without treatment.
Slateman is still in the stone age. With all the new technology I'm sure they can last that long, if not longer.
You're talking about some covering which has to be applied often lasting that long ,not the material itself.
I removed a 90 year old asbestos roof this Summer and replaced with slate.
The old roof was shot.
How could anybody make a claim for an asbestos roof lasting 600 years? Just because a roof has reached 100 years it does'nt mean it can last another 500. I've worked on asbestos roofs that where about 60 years old that seemed fairly soft.
Asbestos fibre/cement shingles have not and will not last over 200 years. Asbestos in it's purest form can last forever, but cement "washes out" after years of water runoff, causing the tile to deteriorate. Fifty percent of people have the genes capable of developing asbestosis(cause of mesotheleoma) from asbestos exposure. Chemical coats and combo's are toxic and bad for the enviroment. Spend your money wisely, GO NATURAL!!
Licensed and Insured contractor in New Orleans area currently performing specialty roof repairs. Have asbestos tiles (multiple styles) stocked in abundance. If you are in need of an asbestos roof repair or know someone who is, please contact me via e-mail. Company staff includes prior insurance adjusters who have years of experience in consulting property loss insurance claims for property owners, so concern about proper insurance allotment of funds to get the job done right is obsolete. We are ready to assist,and looking foward to speaking with you.
Are people just Stupid? Think about how long concret surfaces have been inside of stuctures. Take that same concrete and mix it with an asbestos fiber and put a coating on it, it is then out of the elements of the weather. As long as you re-coat it as needed it can last 600 years.
The cement wouldn't wash out is it was coated and if you people would just to do your research, you would find that all asbestos roofing had a color coating on it when it was manufactured. I bet your still looking for the cord to your remote control to your TV too.
I am looking at a 107 year old asbestos shingle roof that had been hit by hail. The hail knocked off meldew and I believe possibly the very upper layer of the shingle material, leaving a uniform pattern of marks on all surfaces of the roof.
Will the marks weather in so that the shingles do not need to be replaced?
Will the loss of the upper layer of material significantly affect the service life of the shingles?
Could the hail, although not chipping or breaking the edges of the shingle, still break the undelying, hidden and protected upper corner of the shingles.
Could the hail, without having caused holes or structural damage to the shingles cause new roof leaks?
Sounds like the effect was mainly cosmetic. If the shingles aren't damaged, then you should have little to worry about.

All-State cross country runner Callie Schadt hopes to lead Nauset to another ACL title
Matt Goismanmgoisman@capecodonline.com
Aug 28, 2015 at 6:52 PM Aug 28, 2015 at 10:19 PM
HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY
Callie Schadt ready for senior year
EASTHAM - Nauset senior Callie Schadt had about as good a junior year as she could've imagined. She helped the Warriors cross country team claim an Atlantic Coast League regular-season title and Division 4 Eastern Mass. championship. She qualified with her team for the All-State Meet and finished fourth.
Schadt, along with three cross country teammates, set a school record in the distance medley at the indoor Division 4 Relays during the winter. She qualified for the indoor All-State Meet with a fifth-place finish in the mile at the Division 4 Championship, and during the spring set a meet record in the mile relay at the Division 3 Relays. She capped the year with a trip to the New Balance Nationals, where Schadt's mile-relay team finished 22nd.
Schadt's final cross country preseason started Thursday. And with so many accolades already on her shelf, it's time to start thinking about an encore.
"As a team, I hope we win the ACL again and hopefully we'll qualify for All-State," Schadt said. "I want to make it to All-State in both indoor and outdoor track, and I want to break 5:10 in the mile. I ran 5:14 this year in indoor."
Schadt's running career began in the eighth grade. She'd done soccer and basketball, but with nothing to do in the spring she opted to try outdoor track.
Schadt quickly took to her newfound sport, especially the mile and mile relay events. She dropped soccer for cross country the following fall, then picked up indoor track as a junior.
"Racing is mostly just trying to stay as efficient as possible and I usually don't lead," Schadt said. "I usually let whoever wants to lead will lead, and I'll just stick behind them until like the last 400 (meters) or so and then I'll kick. Mostly it's just trying to stay as calm and collected as possible."
Track and field can sometimes come across as an individualized sport, races featuring lone representatives from multiple schools competing side-by-side. Cross country on its surface seems the same way, except that a team's score depends on its top five finishers, creating the camaraderie that keeps Schadt and training all year.
"I like the mile more, definitely," Schadt said. "But cross country is a lot more fun because it's more in the woods. You have the hills, the sand area, and you're not just running around in a circle with people staring at you."
Many of Nauset's cross country runners were also the core of the Warriors' indoor and outdoor distance teams. They've spent season after season training alongside each other as teammates and friends.
"After (a race) it's the weirdest but best feeling ever," Schadt said. "Because right when you finish, you're still in pain, but you're so relieved that you're done."
Coralea Geraniotis and Allison Burns graduated last spring. Madaket Nobili and Olivia Bois this year will be a sophomore and junior, respectively, leaving Schadt to fill the leadership role Geraniotis always had.
"It definitely excites me, but it's just going to be weird not having Coralea there, obviously, since she's just always been there to show us how to run," Schadt said. "She definitely was one of those people you just look up to. You always strive to beat her times from when she was in the 11th grade, when she was a freshman."
Schadt said she's hoping to follow Geraniotis' career path and continue running in college, though likely not a Division I school like Geraniotis at Elon University in North Carolina. Instead, Schadt may try to walk on at a Division III school.
Nauset coach Katie McCully said Schadt has been a top-five runner for Nauset since joining the team in the ninth grade and will be a captain this year. Another successful year, McCully said, could easily translate into Schadt joining a collegiate track or cross country team.
"She is the real deal and she works really hard and she's just a fun girl," McCully said. "She's been consistently a strong runner for her whole career at Nauset. There's always been a steady improvement."
No specific colleges have emerged yet, but Schadt said she wants to attend a school either in New England or perhaps on the West Coast. Her older sister Caitlin is on the competitive sailing team at the University of Hawaii.
Wherever she goes, Schadt said she wants to study biomedical engineering.
"I'm really going to college to get a job," Schadt said. "I wanted to go somewhere in engineering, and I feel like going into biomedical engineering you can definitely help people."
A repeat of junior year will require Schadt to both continue improving physically and step up mentally to lead a relatively young squad of cross country runners and milers.
Now on the edge of her final year at Nauset, Schadt seems ready.

There's a brand new track from the heavenly The Japanese House titled We Talk All The Time and as fourth singles go, she has done it again.
Amber Bain has been working hard on her forthcoming album, Good At Falling, out on March 1st, and the proof is in the pudding with this track.
It's about noticing a relationship dying, or changing, whatever way you want to view it. It was one of those weird, prophetic songs where I write it down, and then it happens in real life. It's not because I can tell the future, it's because I'm creating it, or maybe I can sense it's going to happen.
The Japanese House is hitting the road for some small shows in March including London's Rough Trade East on the 4th of March.

Black Bear review – Aubrey Plaza shines in a chaotic meta-movie
Lawrence Michael Levine
Christopher Abbott
Lawrence Michael Levine's bizarre melodrama is a compellingly crazy meditation on art and life, with career-best work from Plaza
By: Lilia Pavin-Franks
The wide expanse of natural landscape can make for the perfect thriller setting. A house stood alone amongst gigantic trees, sat on the edge of a misty lake that never seems to end. One can't help but feel threatened and unsettled by the looming presence of the unknown. Lawrence Michael Levine's surreal new feature, Black Bear, is acutely aware of this terror, and so utilises it to spellbinding effect.
Black Bear is split into two distinct acts. In the first, titled "Part One: The Bear in the Road," we meet Allison (Aubrey Plaza), a former-actress-turned-director taking refuge at a remote lake house in the hope that she is hit with some much needed screenplay inspiration. Her hosts, Gabe (Christopher Abbott) and Blair (Sarah Gadon), are a young, married couple with a baby on the way. Allison's arrival ignites the already bubbling tension between Gabe and Blair; the couple bicker and make constant jibes, while Allison fuels the arguments by being purposely obtuse.
The first part plays out as an awkward and melodramatic display of marital problems and insufferable struggling artists, while part two… well, perhaps it's best to say as little as possible, since Black Bear is absolutely a film that rewards going in blind. It revels in mindfuckery, contorting its already baffling narrative into something that's so fascinatingly chaotic you'll need a good moment to take it all in after the credits roll.
Known for her dark, deadpan persona, Plaza's presence alone is often used as a way of injecting a sense of the jarring into proceedings. And while her signature deadpan style is here in abundance, it merely acts as a starting point for a performance that becomes richer and more captivating as the film shifts and changes lanes. With great support from Abbott and Gadon, she proves her talents extend far beyond just comedy, resulting in her best performance to date.
Nestled amongst its layers of domestic chaos is a sharp, meta-textual take on the often cannibalistic relationship between art and the artist. How much of your sanity are you willing to risk in order to capture the perfect take and, when it comes to filmmaking, who has ultimate control? Black Bear is a slick rumination on personal trauma and the power of primal emotion – proof that even when the director yells "cut," we are far from out of the woods.
Black Bear is now streaming on various digital platforms.

Raymond E. Jacobs (January 24, 1926 – January 29, 2008) was an American and  United States Marine Corps sergeant who served in combat during World War II. Jacobs was a member of the combat patrol that climbed up to the top of Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima and raised the first U.S. Flag on February 23, 1945. Afterwards, he was a news reporter and had served during the Korean War as an instructor at Camp Pendleton, California.

Early life
Jacobs was born on January 24, 1926, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. His family moved to Los Angeles, California in 1933. He was a football star at Polytechnic High School in the Los Angeles area.

U.S. Marine Corps, World War II
Jacobs enlisted in the Marine Corps in May 1943. In September, after he completed recruit training in San Diego, he volunteered for Marine Raider training at Camp Pendleton. After the Marine Raiders were disbanded in February 1944, he was transferred to the 2nd Battalion, 28th Marine Regiment, 5th Marine Division at Camp Pendleton. He was assigned to F Company. In September, the division departed for Hilo, Hawaii (Camp Tarawa) to continue training for follow on action in the Pacific Theatre. He was trained there to be a radioman in F Company. After training and preparing for the invasion of Iwo Jima, the 28th Marines left Hawaii in December, embarking upon amphibious transports, and after a few days liberty in Pearl Harbor, they set sail heading west on January 7, 1945. The regiment stopped at Eniwetok on February 5, conducted a practice landing on Tinian on February 13, and arrived off the coast of Iwo Jima on February 16.

Battle of Iwo Jima

Jacobs took part in the Second Battalion, 28th Marines, amphibious assault landing on Green Beach at the southern part of Iwo Jima near Mount Suribachi on February 19, 1945. From 19 to 23 February, the 28th Marines fought to secure Mount Suribachi. On February 23 at 8 AM, First Lieutenant Harold Schrier, the E Company executive officer, led a 40-man combat patrol from Third Platoon, E Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines up Mount Suribachi to siege and occupy the crest. Accompanying Schrier was Jacobs, a radioman from F Company who was reassigned to him for the patrol. Schrier was to raise an American flag he was given to signal that the mountaintop was captured. Once on top of the volcano, a section of a Japanese water pipe was found that became the flagstaff for the flag. Schrier and two other Marines attached the flag to the pipe which was then carried to the highest spot on the crater.

At approximately 10:20-10:35 a.m.,<ref>Bradley, J. Powers, R. Flags of Our Fathers: Heroes of Iwo Jima.</ref> Lt. Schrier, Platoon Sergeant Ernest Thomas, and Sergeant Henry Hansen, raised the flag (Thomas was ordered to report aboard the flagship USS Eldorado on February 25, and during an interview with a CBS radio broadcaster said that Schrier, and Sgt. Henry Hansen, and he, had actually raised the flag). Seeing the raising of the national colors immediately caused a reaction of loud cheering from the Marines, sailors, and coast guardsmen on the beach below and from the men on the ships near the beach; the ships whistles and horns went off too. Hansen was killed in action on Iwo Jima on March 1, and Thomas on March 3. On March 10, 1945, Jacobs was wounded by enemy mortar fire and was evacuated off Iwo Jima. The actual raising of the first flag on Mount Suribachi had not been photographed.

In the early afternoon, a larger replacement flag was brought up Mount Suribachi by the Easy Company runner (messenger) which was then attached unto another Japanese steel pipe. This flag was raised by six Marines while the first flag was lowered. A photograph of the second flag raising by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal appeared in the newspapers, became renowned world-wide, made the second flag-raisers and Rosenthal famous, and led to the creation of the huge Marine Corps War Memorial (sometimes referred to as the Iwo Jima Memorial) in 1954, in Arlington, Virginia.

 Post World War II
Jacobs was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in 1946. He then went to work as a reporter, news anchor, news director, and editorial director for KTVU in Oakland, California for 34 years before retiring on July 1, 1992. In 1950, Jacobs was called up for Marine Corps service during the Korean War. He served as a Marine instructor in California until he was honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant in August 1951.

 World War II photo claim

Jacobs and his family spent his later years trying to prove that he actually was the Marine radio operator who was photographed on top of Mount Suribachi beneath the first American flag several times by Staff Sergeant Louis R. Lowery (a combat photographer with Leatherneck magazine).America's Greatest Generation: Marine Heroes: Raymond Jacobs. Although Jacobs's face is not visible in Lowery's most widely circulated photograph of the first flag flown on Mount Suribachi, his claim that it is definitely him was based on other black and white photographs of him taken by Lowery and other combat photographers near the first flag with Lieutenant Schrier. The radioman in the most famous of Lowery's photographs was assumed for years to be a Marine in F Company named Louis Charlo, or Pfc. Gene Marshall, the E Company radio operator, or an unknown Marine. Charlo (KIA March 2, 1945), who was not a radioman, was identified as being on Mount Suribachi near the flag (F Company followed Schrier's E Company patrol up the mountain) after Schrier's patrol climbed up the mountain, captured the summit, and raised the flag. Marshall claimed he was on top of Mount Suribachi, but has not ever been identified as being there. Jacobs said he was ordered back down Mount Suribachi sometime after the flag raising.

Jacobs claimed that on February 23, 1945, he was assigned as the radioman for Lt. Schrier and his 40-man patrol from E Company who went up Mount Suribachi after a 4-man reconnaissance patrol (included Charlo) from Third Platoon, F Company (Jacobs's company) which had been sent up the mountain an hour earlier, came down. The other men involved in the patrol and first flag raising have all died. In 2008, just after Jacobs had died, Annette Amerman, a historian with the Marine Corps History Division, said "there are many that believe" Jacobs was the radioman. "However, there are no official Marine Corps records produced at the time that can prove or refute Mr. Jacobs' location." There has not been a Marine photo of Marshall to compare to Lowery's photos. There are however, several photo comparisons of Jacobs that do verify he is the radioman with Lt. Schrier on Mount Suribachi, and Los Angeles newspaper accounts (Associated Press Dispatch, beginning February 24, 1945) which support Jacobs's testimonies that he was personally interviewed on top of Mt. Suribachi after the first flag-raising. His claims are also supported by his letters home. In 2019, a Marine Corps investigation of the two flag raisings on Mount Suribachi confirmed that Jacobs was indeed Lt. Schrier's radio operator who was photographed several times on top of Mount Suribachi near the first flag after it was raised.

Jacobs had disputed the official identifications in Lowery's picture and asserted that it should be: Pfc. James Robeson [Pfc. Harold Schultz] (in Lowery's second photo, in lower left corner) [behind Hansen], Pfc. Raymond Jacobs (carrying radio), 1st Lt. Harold Schrier (kneeling behind Jacobs) [left bottom side of Jacobs], Sgt. Henry Hansen (utility cap, holding flagpole), unknown Marine [Pvt. Phil Ward] (lower right hand securing flagpole), Platoon Sgt. Ernest Thomas (seated), PhM2c. John Bradley, USN (helmeted, above Thomas securing flagpole with both hands), Pfc. James Michels (holding M1 carbine), and Cpl. Charles Lindberg (standing above Michels).

Due to an agreement with the Associated Press and the Marine Corps over Rosenthal's photo of the second flag raising on Mount Suribachi the afternoon of February 23, Lowery's photos taken on Mount Suribachi were not released until 1947, when 16 of his pictures appeared in Leatherneck Magazine''.

Death
Jacobs died of natural causes at a hospital in Redding, California, on January 29, 2008, at the age of 82. He is buried in Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo, California.

Close Brothers raise a glass to Telegraph's Property Awards
Gary Ferris, Close Brothers Property Finance senior manager for Scotland and NI, says there is a significant degree of positivity in the local housing market
By Stephanie Bell
November 7 2019 7:00 AM
Close Brothers Property Finance is delighted to be involved in this year's Belfast Telegraph Property Awards as sponsors of the drinks reception.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/events/property-awards/close-brothers-raise-a-glass-to-telegraphs-property-awards-38667407.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/b6e12/38667404.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/2019-11-07_new_54701883_I1.JPG
Gary Ferris, senior manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland, said: "This is the first time we have been involved with the awards and we are proud to be part of an event that recognises and celebrates the successes of Northern Ireland's property professionals and businesses."
Close Brothers Property Finance has over 40 years of property lending experience and has remained active and consistent throughout the economic cycles.
The company's team of dedicated relationship managers are industry experts and are able to provide fast initial decisions.
Building long-term relationships is a core aim of the business.
The company supports experienced developers across the UK and for the strongest proposals can consider lending up to 60% of the completed development value (this typically allows clients to borrow up to 85% of costs) for residential developments, with loans ranging from £500,000 to a maximum of £10,000,000.
When it comes to lending, the firm takes a personal approach - working with clients throughout the process and tailoring its facilities to meet their individual needs.
The company has been lending in Northern Ireland for the last two years, supporting SME developers in growing their businesses. Close Brothers' local knowledge and an understanding of client needs and goals helps them deliver their projects.
Gary Ferris, senior manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland, said: "As we enter our third year of lending in Northern Ireland, we are pleased and excited to continue our ongoing commitment to the region and the house building sector, supporting both local businesses and the wider economy.
"The focus is on providing residential development finance and the delivery of high-quality homes, in a market where despite growing uncertainty, there remains a significant amount of positive sentiment where demand for modern family housing is increasing.
"We have been able to maintain our core lending principles of supporting experienced clients, developing in strong locations and differentiating ourselves through our flexibility, speed of delivery and high customer service, which we are immensely proud of.
"With a continued appetite to grow our presence in Northern Ireland, we look forward to developing our existing client base and welcome the opportunity to speak to new clients and property professionals looking for a relationship with a bank that understands property."
Mr Ferris added: "We would like to take this opportunity to wish the shortlist of finalists in the Belfast Telegraph Property Awards good luck, as well as thanking the judges for their hard work and we look forward to toasting the winners on November 15."

Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 21st century?
While marketing and advertising hasn't advanced to quite this degree yet, technology has allowed marketers to get more creative and ambitious with their reach. One of the more interesting ways in which they can appeal to customers is with native advertising. Native advertising, like Fry's dream, is about promoting a product in the same style as the medium through which it's advertised. It's a powerful way to get a message across, because if it's done well, it mirrors the same style of the format and therefore will evoke the same sentiments consumers have when they are experiencing the medium. The best ones don't feel like advertising, they feel like a feature.
Native advertising is hardly a new concept. Ever since we've had print media, we've had native advertising. However, in the last decade the definition has considerably broadened to encompass social media, video, and cross-platform networks. Even though companies have more avenues to reach consumers in an organic and natural way, creative, excellent native advertising has become more complex and more competitive.
If businesses want to stand out, then they need to be at the forefront of technology, constantly looking to innovatively use platforms in new and exciting ways. Below we're looking at 3 brands who have embraced these new mediums to create some inspirational native advertising campaigns.
Burberry sponsoring an entire Snapchat Discover Channel was groundbreaking for a luxury brand. The platform itself is a fairly new one and as such, we are just starting to see companies experiment with the form. Burberry upped the ante because normally the platform merely supports a campaign. However in Burberry's case their new fragrance Mr Burberry had a 'snapcode' which directed consumers to their snapchat channel, where they could access Burberry's snapchat stories, a video directed by Steve McQueen and features grooming tips.
This is a departure from luxury trends who have tended to snub the platform due to its supposedly inferior production values. What Burberry has proved is that you can still make beautiful, high-quality content on Snapchat, and in the process appeal to a whole new group of potential consumers. The fact that it has also established a great relationship with a platform that is poised for major growth in the next few years is merely the icing on the cake.
Netflix is the king of excellent native content. Just check out their promotion for Orange is the New Black in The New York Times and House of Cards in The Atlantic. Last year Netflix created waves again when it published a thought-provoking piece in Wired magazine titled TV got Better. The article focused on the evolving habits of the television viewer and how the culture of binge-watching in particular has changed advertising.
They approached well-known anthropologist and author Grant McCracken to write the article and the result was considered an immersive piece with incredible production values. As the viewer scrolls down they can find interactive graphs, a real-time counter, a filmed interview with Arrested Development creator Mike Hurwitz, and an audio interview with the author of the piece.
The content is such a triumph because it has a lot of value for its target audience. As Howard Mittman, VP-publisher at Wired stated: 'I think it really achieves our mission of building branded content that's really just great content.' The message is clear — that Netflix shows are thought-provoking, compelling and watchable. But it is so considered and subtle, that the reader absorbs it slowly rather than being repeatedly beaten over the head with it.
3: Buzzfeed Dunkin' Donuts: What donut are you?
The click-inducing, fun and funny nature of content powerhouse Buzzfeed makes it an ideal candidate for native advertising. They have created many great campaigns, but a particular favourite was a quiz titled Which Donut are you sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts. The first line of the quiz sums up why the piece is so compelling: YOU HAVE TO KNOW. It's fun, quick and a great fit for Buzzfeed and you really, really want to have a donut after doing it.
Look at how other companies are using the technology and ask yourself, how can we do things differently?
As Futurama showed so brilliantly, even if you have the latest, greatest technology, to the point where you literally can get into your consumers head and be the product of their dreams, if the content is clunky and unsubtle, then the message will fall flat. While the medium might change as new platforms enter the market, brilliant, nuanced content is always going to be in vogue no matter what the form.
Hopefully these examples have inspired you to create some excellent native content in new and exciting ways. If you'd like to know more about the latest and greatest in marketing and business technology then have a look at the CeBIT Australia 2016 Digital Marketing Summary Report conference today.

Former Racer has big comeback year playing for Suns
It was an amazing 2020-21 season for Murray State men's basketball alumni Cameron Payne with the Phoenix Suns.
His biggest season in six
as a basketball professional brought him to the doorstep of becoming just the third MSU Racer to win an NBA champi- onship.
After a hot run through series wins against the Los An- geles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers, the Suns won the first two games against the Bucks and then faltered. The Milwaukee Bucks completely erased a 2-0 deficit in the last 10 days and won the best of seven series. The Bucks won Game 6 by a 105-98 score on Tuesday in Milwaukee.
After a period of time when he was out of the NBA and playing in China, Payne had a comeback season in which he
solidified his position in the league.
In 22 postseason games, Payne made an argument for playing more than his average of 19 minutes per game. He scored 9.3 points, grabbed 2.5 rebounds and dished out 3.2 assists per game. His perfor- mance in place of Chris Paul on June 22 was brilliant as he scored a career-high 29 points on 12-of-24 from the field to go with nine assists in a win over the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.
On the season, Payne ap- peared in 60 games with an average of 18 minutes played her game with a scoring aver- age of 8.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
Payne joined Joe Fulks and Dick Cunningham as former Racer to play in the NBA Finals .

We've tried deleting and recreating his VPN several times and cannot get it to come up, however mine works perfectly fine. I also have a communication attempt that is rather long showing the PAYLOAD and then an "ikephase1 timeout/retry" that I can provide as well.
What are the errors shown in 'debug crypto ike' sessions run on both office and your boss' router while you try to ping between them to initiate a tunnel? Please obfuscate any passwords and public IP addresses as you need to.
I was able to get it resolved with Adtran last week. What it ended up being was there was a residual NAT statement for an old server we had decommissioned, so for whatever reason, the VPN was hitting that NAT statement as it entered our office NV4430 causing the distant ends to never reach the crypto map on this end. Thanks for the reply!

Burma's NLD in Disarray
Our Correspondent Feb 11, 2011
Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy, of which she is the spiritual leader, appear in disarray about whether to continue to urge western governments to maintain their sanctions against the regime in Burma.
The Nobel Prize-winning opposition icon amazed Burma watchers by calling on members of the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos to provide investment in technology and infrastructure. In a recorded audio address to the captains of western capitalism she suggested that investment was needed and welcome provided that it took account of the rights of workers and of social and environmental issues.
Shortly before the Davos address, however, in a long interview with the Financial Times she appeared to be sitting on the sanctions fence, encouraging tourism but only so long as it did not benefit the generals – a curious position given that few tourist have any way of knowing who owns what hotel or gets a cut of the taxi business.
To many the Davos address seemed a major departure from Suu Kyi's years of insistence on the merits of economic and personnel sanctions as a means of bringing about political change and of denying the military rulers and their cronies of some of the fruits of oppression and corruption. It prompted attacks on her in the columns of The Irrawaddy, the Thailand based voice of Burmese exiles.
Western governments have long had misgivings about the sanctions given that China, Thailand, India, Korea and other countries with significant economic interests there declined to take part. But such is the esteem in which Aung San Suu Kyi is held that western governments have been loath to abandon sanctions so long as she supported them.
But has she and the NLD actually changed their stance? Since the Davos meeting some NLD sources have been quoted by Irrawaddy as saying that she wants to maintain economic sanctions. But elsewhere it has been reported that the NLD wants talks with western governments to discuss the future of sanctions.
Reading between the lines, it appears that the NLD is drifting, unsurely, to a position of urging the maintenance of existing sanctions on generals and other key regime personnel while backing off from insisting on trade and investment boycotts. But shifting policy is never easy and Aung San Suu Kyi has to steer a course between offending her hard line loyalists and attracting back the support of those who feel that she has been overly stubborn and inflexible, focused on constitutional more than livelihood issues.
The logic of sanctions has been that it was the one card the NLD, and the western governments, held in their efforts to induce the Than Shwe regime to soften its stance towards her and begin a dialogue with the opposition. Some credit sanctions with her release from house arrest and hoped that in conjunction with the US willingness to engage with the regime would ultimately result in more progress.
However, by staging the November "elections" the regime appears to have out-manouvered the NLD whose refusal to take part in the show lead to breakaways and considerable dissatisfaction. Many opposition-inclined people who felt that the electoral process and new constitution, however flawed, provided a small wedge which might lead to wider political change. It has also proved difficult to sustain the argument that sanctions sanctions were hurting the generals not the populace given the ease with which the former were able to get rich through the gems, timber, gas and drugs trade with the immediate neighbors.
The argument is gaining ground among many NLS supporters, though not necessarily the leadership, that the more western tourism and investment the better, which will not only help the economy but, more importantly, increase access to the outside world and ideas of free flow of both information and trade.
Western government meanwhile are all to conscious of their own lack of leverage over the regime and sense that their own strategic and economic interests would be better served by offering an alternative source of investment. Even the regime itself may be concerned about over reliance on China, and particularly the dominant role of Chinese traders in Mandalay and the northeast.
A permanent and significant policy shift by the NLD may also to wait to see whether the new government in Naypiydaw shows signs of conducting more rational economic policies than hitherto and of genuinely welcoming foreign investment from sources less inclined to do cosy deals with the generals and their business surrogates. Nothing will happen quickly if only because the generals are xenophobic and particularly anti-western, and they despise Aung San Suu Kyi even more than she despises them.
But the bottom line is that the NLD is shifting reluctantly and, some say belatedly, to take account of local and foreign political realities.

Effect of Low Glycaemic Index and Glycaemic Load Mixed Meals on Postprandial Plasma Glucose in type 2 Diabetes Patients
Ihuoma Mary Nnadi
Keywords: Mixed Meals, Type 2 Diabetics, Glycaemic Index, Glycaemic Load, Carbohydrate.
Background: Consumption of high glycaemic index (GI) and glyceamic load (GL) mixed meals may pose difficulties in diabetes Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)
Objective: This study assessed the GI and GL of four mixed meals and their effect on the post prandial plasma glucose (PPPG) response in type 2 diabetes patients (T2DP).
Methods: Hundred T2DP on MNT only attending University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) medical outpatient clinic were recruited. Control was made up of 100 non-diabetic healthy UNTH workers who consumed 50g glucose to determine GI and GL. The four test meals included: Maize meal porridge (Pap) and beans pudding (Moinmoin), Meat stew and boiled white rice and spaghetti with spinach (Rice and Spaghetti), Meat stew and boiled white rice and beans and spinach (Rice and Beans) and Meat and beans and yam pottage and spinach (Beans and Yam). Plasma glucose was tested quarter hourly for 2 hours for GI and GL values per serving determination.
Results: At 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes, three meals (i.e. Pap and Moinmoin, Rice and Beans and Beans and Yam) delivered lower GI, GL and decreased PPPG peaks compared to Rice and Spaghetti among non-diabetic and T2DP (P<0.05). Beans and Yam had the lowest GI and GL value per serving (33.20±1.41 and 5.78±0.76) while Rice and Spaghetti had the highest values (49.60±3.63 and 11.49±0.31), respectively.
Conclusion: Pap and Moinmoin, Rice and Beans and Beans and Yam delivered lower GI and GL and decreased PPPG in non-diabetic and T2DP and may provide healthy alternatives.

When New Horizons launched in early 2006, it was on its way to visit Pluto, the most distant planet in our solar system. Later that same year, Pluto was demoted to dwarf planet status. And yet New Horizons continued on its mission of science and discovery.
Uplogix doesn't care much about labels either. Since we manage devices over the console port, it's possible to pull information from just about any device. Sure we have lots of pre-written rules for big name brands like Cisco, HP and Juniper, but at the basic level of communication over the console, we can provide real value when it comes to managing a remote device.
Traveling at the speed of light, it takes about four and a half hours for data to travel from the neighborhood of Pluto to Earth. And even then it's not much of a data pipe: just 600 to 1,200 bits per second, or about 50 to 100 times slower than the speed of a modern cable modem. New Horizons has pre-set instructions and automated responses that allow it to work on its own without relying on direct instructions from ground control.
There are a few reasons we say Uplogix is network automation you can implement with confidence. First, the automation is your run book. What would YOU do in a given situation? Uplogix will take those same steps. Every time. No skipping steps like people are prone to do. And these aren't just knee-jerk responses. Service level validation adds qualitative data for decision making, as well as the ability to trend over periods of time before taking an action. Finally, with out-of-band access, you can always get to your gear. With our Iridium modem, that gear can be anywhere on Earth. As of this writing, Uplogix is still confined to terrestrial operations.
There is a radioisotope thermal generator on New Horizons. That's a nuclear power source that converts heat from naturally decaying plutonium into electricity. The mission is so far away from the sun that New Horizons needed a power solution that didn't rely on solar power.
Uplogix doesn't pack nuclear power (just plain old AC or DC), but onboard processing and storage, coupled with local connections to managed devices enables some pretty powerful automation. Our default polling interval is 30 seconds and we have a file system with enough storage to save more than two dozen versions of both startup and running configurations as well as OS for each managed device. And, if it's something you are concerned about, we do have drives available with 256-bit AES compliant data encryption.

Intel claims its driver assistance technology is superior to that of Uber's
Uber faces a ban on testing self-driving vehicles. (Source: Time)
Intel took a dig at Uber by claiming that its driver assistance technology can detect and prevent pedestrian impact more accurately than Uber's version. This comes in the wake of a tragic incident involving the collision of a self-driving Uber vehicle with a woman pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona last week.
Vaidyanathan Subramaniam, 03/27/2018
Cyberlaw Fail
An unfortunate incident occurred on March 19 in Tempe, Arizona when a self-driving Uber vehicle hit a woman pedestrian, Elaine Herzberg (49), crossing the road at midnight resulting in her death. The tragic incident has raised questions about the efficacy of AI and our dependence on it for automation. Following the incident, Intel took a dig at Uber by running the footage of the collision through its advanced driver assistant system (ADAS), which was developed by its subsidiary Mobileye. Mobileye CEO Prof. Amnon Shashua wrote that the ADAS detected the woman a second before the impact.
Prof. Shashua says Mobileye's ADAS could detect the impact even when the program was run on a suboptimal video feed released by the police. Mobileye's program used pattern recognition and free-space detection modules that helped in identifying the moving object — in this case, Ms. Herzberg — even though the dash-cam video was apparently subjected to some unknown downsampling.
He opines that while artificial intelligence is believed to have attained a certain degree of maturity, identification of hundreds of corner cases and data validation tests on ADAS programs cannot be skipped. He says, "Experience counts, particularly in safety-critical areas".
Mobileye has been in the business of developing ADAS for over 15 years and currently there are 27 automakers employing the technology. Prof. Shashua feared that incidents like these can cause trust deficits among consumers that can potentially stifle work in this area. Prof. Shashua calls all those involved in developing AI for automation for a meaningful discussion to address these concerns. Mobileye has developed a Responsible Sensitive Safety (RSS) model that lays down mathematical compliance for common sense notions.
This is the first instance of a self-driving vehicle killing a pedestrian on public roads. Authorities have not yet officially blamed Uber or its self-driving program for the crash but Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has written to the company terming the incident as an "unquestionable failure" on car safety.
Uber said that it has now proactively suspended self-driving vehicle testing in Tempe, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and Toronto.

Vaidyanathan Subramaniam, 2018-03-27 (Update: 2018-03-27)


A deputy fire marshal with the state police determined the fire began within the cab of the pickup truck, but was unable to find the cause. He did notice there were an inordinate amount of paper products including a phone book and mail in the vehicle but he was unable to find any evidence of raffle tickets or cash. He began to suspect Verbeck had started the fire intentionally in order to cover up the fact that the money had been spent.
When Verbeck was questioned by police, he admitted to having money problems but claimed there was $300 in cash in the truck along with $800 worth of ticket stubs.
Another $600 worth of stubs were found at Verbeck's residence, but no cash was recovered. Verbeck then admitted to officers he was using the money to pay his bills and confessed to intentionally lighting the fire using a cigar and tissue paper, according to authorities.
At least eight people told the fire department that they purchased tickets from Verbeck, but no tickets in their names were turned in by Verbeck or any other ticket sellers. They were given replacement tickets.
The fire department estimated their losses to be at least $2,000 for missing tickets, replacement tickets, cash, refunds and legal fees. In addition, the bank that financed the vehicle reported Verbeck still owes $6,000 for the truck.

Celebrate Brooklyn 2012 Warmup
Jun. 5, 2012 | Updated Jul. 12, 2013 at 12:10 pm
Here's a collection of some of my favorite songs from artists who will be playing Celebrate Brooklyn! this year. Though some bands were originally more familiar to me than others, there's something here for everyone, like the Celebrate Brooklyn 2012 lineup itself. The Spotify playlist is arranged by scheduled performance date, first to last, so you can move through the songs in the same order that you'd move through the festival, and get pumped for all the incredible acts that will be coming to the bandshell this summer. Enjoy!
Jimmy Cliff, "You Can Get It If You Really Want"
Struggling writer? Starving artist? Just trying to hold it together in the land where you're not only supposed to live your dream, but get it artisanally pickled too? Man I know—it can be rough out there. Luckily, so does Jimmy Cliff. That's why he made this catchy, upbeat song for you, complete with sunny trumpets and an inspirational/never-grating refrain. Who can stay downhearted when there's reggae in the sunshine, or tonight's possible rain?
Jimmy Cliff opens the season tonight, June 5
Laura Marling, "Rambling Man"
Both melancholic and triumphant, the quietest moments of "Rambling Man" deliver its most devastating lines (especially, "It's funny how the first chords you come to / are the minor notes that come to serenade you"), only to be rejoined with a chorus that is so resounding, it makes us want to go find a rambling man of our own.
British singer-songwriter Laura Marling plays June 14 with soul singer Michael Kiwanuka and songwriter Willy Mason
Esperanza Spalding,"Cinnamon Tree"
Instead of featuring one of Geri Allen's original songs, or even one of the standards she's famous for (though just between us, 'Take the A Train' is the jazzy knee of every bee), I chose the recently Grammy-garlanded Esperanza Spalding's "Cinnamon Tree". For what purpose? Because it's a tall drink of cool, sweet tea, the perfect Sunday afternoon, and the breeziest summer breeze (bearing just the hint of spice) all rolled into one. Know why else? I secretly hope they play it. Together.
Jazz pianist Geri Allen and photographer and video artist Carrie Mae Weems–who has a major 30-year retrospective coming to the Guggenheim next year–are teaming up for a special world premiere commission titled Slow Fade to Black on June 15. The performance will blend Weems' videos with Allen's live performance with fellow jazz greats Esperanza Spalding and Terri Lynne Carrington, Lizz Wright, Patrice Rushen, the Howard University vocal group Afro Blue, and the tap dancer Maurice Chestnut.
Keb' Mo', "Am I Wrong?"
In 'Am I Wrong?' Keb' Mo' asks the questions you have when you're in a bad relationship and know it, but will never ask to risk proving it once and for all. Despite it's traditional blues-iness, there's a blistering sass to 'Am I Wrong?' that as member to the wronged party, makes you think 'hey, this joke's on you, baby". Keep listening and you'll realize that nope, just like you and Keb' Mo' knew all along, the joke is always, always on us. Factor in a guitar riff that has more heat and stank on it than an L train during rush hour in July, and you have one great song about the realities of invulnerability—acting like you are, and knowing that you're not.
Delta Blues artist Keb' Mo' plays June 22 with Brooklyn chanteuse and guitarist Natalia Zukerman

Ghostface Killah, "Back Like That"
One of the less explored areas of the messy love triangle is the unsought relationship you now have with your significant other's other significant other. In "Back Like That" Ghostface performs one of the subject's best smack-downs, showcasing the lyrical prowess and wordsmithery that helped distinguish him from the other members of the Wu Tang Clan. The unwelcome connection shared by two suitors (even when one is no longer interested and has since 'moved on') has its own palpable intimacy, with or without the main player. When Ghostface sneers how "In the summertime", he "had to do it … / quick, old fashioned / in the back of the mall", it's clear that 'it' is a beat down on his lady's new dude… but it could just as well have been hitting of another kind on his former lady. A chorus of harmonized cooing Ooo's, a sample of a sweet 70's piano trill, and a refrain from Ne-Yo so catchy that you'll be singing it for days, and your new summer romance just rolled up—and he ain't having none of this ish.
Legendary hip-hop showcase Lyricist Lounge celebrates its 20th anniversary with Ghostface Killah, Camp Lo, Astro and more June 23
Dirty Projectors, "No Intention"
Sometimes you like a song because it connects to something deep within you—your emotions, your experiences, your hidden secret self. Sometimes you like a song because it blends seamlessly with your aesthetic sensibilities and musical tastes. You know why you're going to like "No Intention"? Because it's cool, simple as that. This song is one bad-ass James Dean lookin' mother, and you're lucky enough to be along for the ride.
Dirty Projectors play one of the season's seven benefit shows July 10 with Wye Oak and Purity Ring
Hot Chip, "Wrestlers"
Other than containing one of the greatest and cleverest line permutations in dancepop for at least the past ten years (certainly the best that ever referenced Willie Nelson), 'Wrestlers' takes an often pertinent if not often thought-of metaphor for love and relationships, and extends it to three plus minutes, where each beat, note and reference hits harder than you think it would on paper—in the heart, the funny bone, and of course, the gut.
Hot Chip plays a benefit show with the genre-defying Gang Gang Dance July 18.
Wilco, "You and I"
This is not just one of our favorite Wilco love songs—it's one of our favorite love songs, period. "You and I" is an exceptional song the way a tsunami is an exceptional wave—there's little to distinguish it from its brethren other than the devastation it leaves in its wake. Simple, sincere, and direct, it forgoes embellishment and instead goes right for the emotional jugular.
Wilco plays with Lee Fields and the Expressions July 23 and The Lee Ranaldo Band (of Sonic Youth) July 24.
The Head and The Heart, "Lost In My Mind"
I admittedly have something of a soft spot for the Pacific Northwest music scene, so it makes sense that I have something of a soft spot for The Head and The Heart. 'Lost In My Mind' is an exemplary model of the indie folk-rock the area produces—heartfelt, introspective, and earnest, it's a song that makes you want to embark on a journey of your own, whether an epic cross-country road trip spanning several weeks and states, or a morning commute in the unpredictable wilderness of the MTA.
Seattle six-piece The Head and the Heart play July 27 with orchestral folk band Lost in the Trees.
Sigur Rós, "Gobbledigook"
No one really knows what the exact lyrics of any Sigur Rós song are—Jonsi and Co literally invented a language to make sure of it. Why? Maybe to prove that complete understanding really is unimportant to complete enjoyment. Or maybe because Sigur Ros has that rarest of traits among serious musicians: a sense of humor about their music. If the aptly titled 'Gobbledigook' is any indication, I'd say both.
Sigur Rós plays a sold-out benefit show July 31.
Wild Flag, "Something Came Over Me"
Thought if I was covering Wild Flag, that I'd go for "Romance" or at least "Future Crimes"? Nope. I went with "Something Came Over Me." Because not only is it my everlasting ambition to be someone who feels 'faint but never weak' in love, but because seriously, can you think of a better pairing than those bittersweet chords surging beneath a chorus that demands, 'let the good times toll'?
Wild Flag plays August 3 with seminal post-punk band Mission of Burma and Ted Leo.
Yo La Tengo, "You Can Have It All"
Any song that can repeat variations of the same three lines over and over again (and even that's stretching it, since two of those lines are only repeated twice, and the other—the title, for Pete's Dragon's sake—is roughly 90 percent of the song) without making its listeners drill a hole in their heads is a feat of true music mastery. Throw some 'bump-ba-bumps' in there, and you have a song that's the perfect accompaniment to any pleasurable summer activity, from enjoying a few cold ones with friends to holding hands while watching the sun set from Brooklyn Bridge Park. And just try walking down the street while listening to it and not smiling—I dare you.
Yo La Tengo performs alongside M. Ward in the last benefit show of the season, August 7.
