Dartmouth Dropped From Foot?
ball Schedule Because It
Is Strong Team.
Cambridge. Mass.. January 31. ? An
official statement was sent out by the
Harvard Football Committee to-day
relating to Harvard dropping the Dart?
mouth football teem from the 1913
- hedule. The statement was signed by
J. Wells Farley, chairman of the com?
mittee, which has been considering
the football schedule, which is practi?
cally arranged The committee verifies
:he report that Harvard and Dart mouth
svili not play football in the stadium this
year, but regrets that the announce?
ment could not have come from Dart?
mouth, as had been planned. The state?
ment in part follows:
' The Harvard Football Committee
? t.'ludcd that there should be next
vear a schedule containing I1'-1* bard
rames than were olayed during the past
'eason. For this reason, and this reason
mly. they feel it inadvisable that the
Dartmouth games should be retained on
he schedule for next year.althouth they
loepiy regretted interrupting the King
a ries of close contests with that;
jni versify.
? The matter was taken up with
Oartmoutfa representatives some time
ago in an informal manner, and Dart?
mouth was m this way fully informed
i>f the atti'ude of the football committee
and the probable action of the athletic
Harvard s schedule for netxt Fall has
no' been announced officially, but the
Football Committee has decided on the
games that will be played. There will
be nine gam?-s, as there was last year,
all of which will be played in the
Stadium, except the one with Princeton,
which will be played at Princeton.
November ?. two weeks before Harvard
plays Vale, and a week later than
:he Crimson and the Tigers played in
I?I2. Cornell has been put back on the'
Harvard list after a two year's absence,
.vhile a newcomer is Norwich I'mvcr
ktty, which takes the place of Amtierst.
\n.h'r.-t did not have a strong team
ast fall, and probably expects little in
ISS, and because of this asked that it
->e allowed to drop from the Harvard
?chedule until such time as its team
should be stronger. The schedule:

Remarks Concerning Snodgrass
After Series Reason He
Quits Giants.
I?os Angeles. Ca!., January SI.?
Arthur Shafer. the brilliant inlVlder
of the Giants, has returned unsigned
two different eontraets which the
New York Club bus sent t?> him.
Shafer has made no demands fur
salary, but has announced that he
will not play ball with the New York
Giants again
A friend of Shafer ? State?! here to?
day that the real reason that the
infielder had resolved not to play
baseball any more was the result of
an in. iderjt which occurred m Boetan
after the last game* of the world s
series between the Giants and Red
Sox laFt fall. It is asserted that after
the memorable (tame in which Fred
Snodgrass muffed a fly ball from the
bat of Hark Kngle. which lost the
game and gave Boston the world's
championship, the Giant players had
a warm session in the dressing room I
after t he game.
It is said that some of the New York
players crowded around Snodgrass af'er
the game, and CTtittcsOd him harshly
for making the costly error. In the heat
of the criticizing of Snodgrass. many
words were passed between the players
WhsCa caused inudi ill feeling. Shafer.
who was a classmate of Snodgrass in a
college here, came to big defense, and.
in the face of all the talk that was
hurled at Spo?lgra-a paid that any ball
player was likely to make an error in
such a situation Shafer. it is stated,
resented the criticism of some of the
players, and became more prominent
m the argument than Snodgrass him?
Shafer. so the story goes, was so pro- .
voked at the antagonism against Snod?
grass that he declared right then and
there that he would never play ball with
the Giants again shafc was sin. ere
in his assertion and t" lieved thai the
lethal attack on his friend Snodgrass
was unfair and untus" lie said at
that time that h? wan through wi?h pro?
fessional bas< bao. and hi? frr'nds here
sta'ed to-day that this was the real
reason that he has returned two Giant
contract* unsigned
Shafer ha- always played baseball
for the love of the game and against ? >.?
wishes of his family. II? has toid friemis
h? r< that he w ill not leave the coast
this year until his many business affairs
are settled and then he expects to take
a trip to Kuropc
New York January II - At the offices
of 'he New- York Club it v as stated
yesterday that Shafer s ?rst ? ??ntra? t
was returr.c?! -? v? ral days ago. and as
soon ay it arrived a second wa- sent out '
by Manager MiGraw giving Shafer
an increase if. salary if he would join
the Giants oti their training trip in

Indian Athlete, Star of Olympic Games, Declared
' Professional by A. A. U., After Returning Tro?
phies Won, Adopts Baseball as Profession.
Mans League Teams Bid For His Services.
New York. January JI. James Thorpe, the greatest living athlete
recently declared a professional, has signed a contract to play with the
New York < iiants for the season of l < j 13 ? Whether he become* ? pitcher
or a first baseman makes little difference to Manager Met 1 raw.
"A wonderful athlete like Thorpe." says the (iiant leader, "ought
to ha\e in him the makings of a great ball player. He has the muscle
and the brain, and it is up to me to locate the s|x>t where he will be of
most value to the team."
McOaw jHTsonalh conducted the negotiation for the Indian athlete
without the aid of a Mill. He spent the whole night in conference with
Thorjx; and those on whom the Indian depends for advice. It was
nearlv daylight before the affair was settled and Met ir.tw got to bed.
The tip got out before official news of the deal reached the New
York headquarters. Secretary l-oster received a telegram from Thorpe
this afternoon to the effect that he had signed the contract and the
pafters would be forwarded immediately.
Salary Not Known.
Just what salary Thorpe is to rec eive has not .tnd will not be an?
nounced. It is known, though, that the figures are in excels of $4,500.
Krank Bancroft, business manager of the Cincinnati Reds who went
to Carlisle to sign the Indian, wired August Hermann to-day that he
had failed in bisquest; that he had offered ?4,500, but that the Ciants
had outbid him. Bancroft also wired that five scouts were at Carlisle
all day vesterdav making bids tor Thori>e*s scr\ii<-.
When Thorpe announced a f?w ?lay

to baseball for a living he intimutce
that be would like to play in N we York

but he was telephoned the tip and gol
out of bed to be on tho job.

Lord of the musicals? A high point in the production. Photograph: Tristram Kenton
Amateur reviewers and bloggers have lauded and lambasted the Lord of the Rings musical for weeks, bypassing the official embargo that prevented theatre critics from unleashing their verdicts until tomorrow.
For many, the show was a "feast for the eyes", a dazzling display of special effects that brought Tolkien's world to life - a "phantasmagoria of light, action and sound" no less. "The people around us gasped," wrote one fan. "My jaw dropped so low I began to consider amputation. Deft footwork and nether regions of steel were the only things standing between the cast and the rising, falling, spinning stage."
Not to mention the Ring-obsessed Gollum. "Canadian actor Michael Therriault twisted his lanky body like an emaciated goblin on crack." Others shared the awe - and fear. "I search for a word, a phrase, something catchy to sum it all up. I ... can't. I'm down to 'Wow.' Then again, as for so many of Middle Earth's cognoscenti, there had to be a "Purist Alert!": "Tolkien wrote about how to pronounce the names in his language so why can't anyone get Sméagol and Déagol right? Why (oh why) do they say "Smeegol?" Bah! It's Smey-a-gol."
For Tolkien scholars, compressing the writer's collection of works into a single musical was always going to result in sacrifice. "Frodo, Sam and Gollum are never captured as they pass through Ithilien", noted one reviewer, while another complained that "the whole Weathertop scene is cut and Frodo is stabbed at the Prancing Pony instead". Worse still for anyone who knows their way around Mordor: "I don't think there was a single mention of the words Rohan or Gondor throughout the entire show."
There were complaints, too, about technical glitches that apparently followed the production from Toronto. "Where did the stage break down during our performance? In the middle of Helm's Deep. Yup. Dramatic battle, orcs flying all over the place and then the action just stopped."
In the unforgiving world of internet reviews, it seems there is barely an aspect of the show that escaped critique, from hobbits "turned into dumb village idiots" to a giant spider "fired what looked to be a party-popper from its mouth".

Or would this be a > combination of syspkgs and the FreeBSD tools? This was discussed a lot recently. Some suggested we should just provide complete files (such as included in syspkgs) and not binary diffs (like FreeBSD's binary updates). Your proposal says: The NetBSD build process should be extended to compare the results of the "base" system build (e.g. 3.0) and the results of the "update" system build (e.g. 3.0.1). Do you have further details on how you'd like this to be done? As mentioned in the FreeBSD binary updates whitepaper, my Puget Sound Technology system just created MD5 checksums for all files of resulting install and then compared after patching. Then I manually reviewed the changed files to determine if there was any noise. (FreeBSD automates this.) I tarred up the new files and appended to a self-extracting sh script that backed up previous files, can roll back changes, list files, and give info about the update. I think we don't need to do binary diffs. But just use syspkgs. Tell the users that new syspkgs are available (even in database, like pkg_summary(5), or in security announcements) and let the user upgrade with pkg_add. (By the way, I have a pkg_add that overwrites files instead of deleting existing package and removing files first; I have used it hundreds of times for over a year on various NetBSD and Linux systems but not recently; most of it is in pkgsrc-wip.)

Q I'm new to Linux, and I have decided to completely wipe Windows XP from my laptop and just have Linux. I am dual-booting XP and Ubuntu; could you please tell me how to remove Windows and just have Ubuntu? How would I expand the Linux partitions to take over the space where Windows XP used to be? As I am a bit of a newbie, would it be easier just to totally format the drive and reinstall Linux?
A To answer your last question first, reinstalling Ubuntu from scratch and taking the option to use the whole disk would indeed be an easy way to do this, but you'd lose your existing setup and data. Removing the Windows partition and allocating the space to Linux would leave your existing Ubuntu setup intact, and you'd learn more about how Linux works in the process. Removing Windows is easy. The first step is to delete the Windows partition (usually hda1) using the Gnome Partition Editor available from the System > Administration menu. If this isn't available, you should install GParted from the Synaptic package manager. The Windows partition is usually easy to identify, because the filesystem is NTFS (or possibly FAT), and Linux doesn't use these filesystems. Next click on the unallocated space this leaves and press the New button to create a new Linux partition of type ext3 (the default settings should be correct for this). Now, with the new partition still highlighted, go to the menus and select Partition > Format To > Ext3 (see screenshot, right). Press Apply to make these changes. The next step is to remove the Windows entry from the boot menu. Open a terminal and type
sudo -i gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
to load the boot menu into an editor. Towards the end of the file you'll find a line starting 'title Windows' Delete from this line down to the next blank line and save the file. Your boot menu is now Windows-free. Adding the space you've just freed up is somewhat less straightforward. Linux partitions can only be resized by moving the end position, yet the space you've freed up lies before the beginning of the Linux partitions, because the Windows partition was the first on the disk. Fortunately, Linux allows you to use multiple partitions - in this case we can use the space previously taken by Windows as your home directory (an advantage of this approach is that if you reinstall or switch to a different distro, you can keep your personal files because they're on their own partition). You tell the system to use this partition for home by adding a line to the file /etc/fstab (filesystem table). In the terminal you've just used, type
gedit /etc/fstab
Add the following line and save the file:
/dev/hda1 /home ext3 defaults 0 0
Before you reboot, which will activate the new home partition, you need to copy your existing files across. Still in the terminal, type
mkdir /mnt/tmp mount /dev/hda /mnt/tmp mv /home/* /mnt/tmp/ reboot
This mounts the new partition somewhere temporary, moves your home directory over to it and reboots the computer to make the changes permanent. After this, there will be no sign of Windows at the boot menu, and when Ubuntu comes up, the space previously used by Windows will be available for storing your own files.

On campuses throughout the Bay Area, it was math and phonics as usual Monday — although in the back of teachers' minds, the tape of the horrific shootings in Newtown, Conn., ran, over and over.
School leaders assured parents that their campuses have in place security devices and protocols — ranging from visitor sign-in requirements to lockdown practices for students. But even as they expressed confidence in those measures, school officials also were reflecting on how they could improve them.
Valley Christian Schools in San Jose quickly plugged what it saw as a hole in its security: On Monday, it added an armed guard to its elementary school staff.
After Columbine, the private school began posting armed guards at its junior high and high school campus. School officials didn't believe the elementary school was as vulnerable, Chief Operating Officer Steve McMinn said. "We've had our opinions changed in a hurry."
The three campuses, which together have 2,400 students, also will boost other measures intended to buy time and reduce casualties in case of an attack.
In general, public schools are looking not for the elusive shield to guard against every possible threat, but a way to better prepare staff members to defuse explosive human interactions, channel students and families to appropriate help and spot early warnings of disaster.
"Anyone with a kid was severely shaken up on Friday," said Jason Willis, assistant superintendent of the San Jose Unified School District.
California schools lack the sophisticated protection systems Newtown had installed. Besides, weather and suburban design led to open campuses difficult to insulate from the outside world. And then there's the sobering reality: Sandy Hook Elementary's electronic and mechanical safeguards didn't deter a gunman who blasted through a locked outer door and killed 26 at the school.
Thus many California schools see as critical tools an alert and trained staff, engaged students and involved community.
"I think it's obvious that a determined individual with assault weapons who knows how to use them is going to overcome any defenses that we could practically have at a school site," said Troy Flint, spokesman for the Oakland Unified School District.
With its open campuses and unlocked doors, it's not difficult to gain access to many of Oakland's public schools. The district has its own police force with more than a dozen officers, plus other campus security officers.
In the West Contra Costa School District, newer schools have security cameras and all campuses are surrounded by fences or structures, spokesman Marin Trujillo said. Administrators and others patrol campuses to guard against intruders, he said.
But in the South Bay, many campuses are unfenced or have multiple entry points not easily blocked. "I don't think the community wants our schools to look like prisons, where we have barbed wire fence or metal detectors," said Chris Funk, superintendent of the East Side Union High School District. Still, the district's 11 comprehensive high schools all have surveillance cameras and police on campus. All students and staff are supposed to carry a photo ID badge.
East Side, like many other districts, last week sent parents emails and auto-dial phone calls to express condolences, offer support in helping children cope and reassure parents about security procedures.
The Hillsborough School District, coincidentally had just revising its safety plans, Superintendent Anthony Ranii said. Still, it's taking a look at them again. But, he said, "obviously any time a tragedy like this occurs, we look to see if there are any lessons we can learn."
How well security protocols work depend on staff. Last year at Morrill Middle School in San Jose, teacher Robert Wright noticed a suspicious person in the yard. For 45 minutes he tried to alert various people in the school office. "I just got voice mail and none of my calls were returned," he said.
Events short of a tragedy put district procedures through a dry run. On Monday, an anonymous caller to Sequoia Middle School in Pleasant Hill threatened "You're next" — in an apparent reference to Friday's shooting in Connecticut.
The middle school and adjacent elementary campus were immediately placed on lockdown until Pleasant Hill police determined 30 minutes later that there was no threat.
The Cupertino Union School District is reviewing security in the wake of not only the Newtown killings, but also a scare Thursday after graffiti threatening a Monta Vista High School teacher was discovered. Both Monta Vista and nearby Lincoln Elementary were shut down for the day for security.
Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies and Berkeley police increased patrols around schools Monday. "The idea is for it to be reassuring," Berkeley Police Chief Michael Meehan said.
Like other schools, Berkeley Unified said it has a good security plan. After six students were discovered with guns on campus in 2011, the district reworked school entrances and hired more security.
"The real issue is vigilance and watching strangers, and for people to stop someone and challenge them and check their identification, and send them back to the office," school district spokesman Mark Coplan said.
Berkeley principals met over the weekend to talk about how to address the Connecticut shooting with their students.
Amid the precautions, officials said it's important to remember that school shootings, while horrific, are rare. "The chances of something like this happening are vanishingly small," said Kevin Skelly, superintendent of the Palo Alto Unified School District. Schools, he said, are the safest places kids can be. ¿"In a free and open society, we want to have schools that are open places that invite community."
And that adult-student connection, officials say, is critical.
"When your school is considered a community, and parents know teachers, and teachers know students by name, it's like having eyes in the back of your head," said Funk of East Side Union. "Everyone's out there taking care of each other."

It's that time again when I remember I'm supposed to be blogging every week (Saturday nights are likely to be when blog posts happen, actually), so I thought I'd talk about shutdowns, basically because I had a pretty bad shutdown earlier this week so it's all still fresh in my my mind.
I should probably discuss my experiences with meltdowns first, seeing as that tends to get talked about more often. This post, "Anatomy of a Meltdown" by Musings Of An Aspie, explains the feelings really well and also notes how the ways in which meltdowns manifest themselves can change over the years. When I was a kid, I got pretty aggressive (although thankfully I don't think I've ever properly hurt anyone) but these days meltdowns mainly consist of crying and lots of it, which is something I never normally do. They're now few and far between, too; I think I hit meltdown the day I came back to uni because we had issues finding my new room but other than that, my last full meltdown was back in August, the first time I tried to leave my ex, and the time before that was back in March 2012, in the middle of the school library due to a student-council-initiative-gone-wrong (it's a long story). I guess as I grew up I just learned coping skills, to breathe, to stim, to control it, and if all else fails to just get out of there as fast as I can.
For me, especially over the last few years, shutdowns are much more common, and they feel almost exactly the same, bar the inevitable horrible crying headaches that follow a meltdown (or any crying for that matter; those headaches are just horrible, aren't they?). As Musings of an Aspie puts it:
It feels like my whole body is thrumming, humming, singing, quivering. A rail just before the train arrives. A plucked string. A live wire throwing off electricity, charging the night air.
Thinking about it now, most shutdowns start with me being stuck in a noisy, crowded room (so party situations, then) and that was the case a few days ago, too. I don't know how to explain it other than everything gradually got a bit much and then, as my friend put it, I went into full-on turtle mode.
Well, I would have done this if I was actually a turtle with a shell I could hide in, but I'm not, so instead I just sat there and vaguely attempted to sing under my breath to try in vain to calm myself down. Didn't really work, because people kept pouring in, for ages and ages and ages. I remember telling said friend that I wanted to curl up into a tiny ball and not take up any space. That must have been roughly when the "thrumming" started, like every cell of my body was vibrating. Then there were introductions, there was quiet, there was calm, in theory I had a minute or so to regroup. It doesn't really work like that, though; there were still people coming in, still, and there were still so many people around me, and as a mere human being I couldn't just disappear and take up no space. After that, getting up and talking to people. Talking to people. Right. That wasn't going to happen. I couldn't find the person I was looking for so I sort of wandered around aimlessly, staying around the edges of the room where it was less dense, resisting the urge to hide behind or under chairs, just about breathing, never mind anything else. I sort of knew that I needed out, I thought about how I could grab my phone and step outside for a few minutes and calm down and text my friend to let her know where I was/ask to be rescued, but I couldn't just make that happen, I was too far gone.
Then I ran into someone I knew; I don't think she knows I'm autistic unless she's worked it out for herself, but I was visibly distressed, so she had to do a bit of guesswork:
"There's a lot of people here tonight, isn't there, is that stressful for you?"
You bet it was.
"It's really warm in here, isn't it, are you too warm?"
Probably, and to be fair that's always a very good guess with me, but frankly at that point I was solely concerned with all those people.
And, finally, "Do you need to go out for a while?"
Fantastic, problem solved, right? …Wrong. You see, my annoying habit of insisting I'm okay when I'm not okay even extends to when I am clearly, visibly, obviously several thousand miles away from "okay". That, and I could barely make words happen at all. I could think all that stuff, but I couldn't say it. The help I clearly needed was being handed to me on a plate, but even then, still, my body was having none of it, which is always massively frustrating for all parties involved. Instead, I froze, and panicked, and didn't say a word, and then just continued wandering.
Eventually, to cut a long story short, I got out and was immediately distracted by something else, which on the one hand was really bad timing (as you can tell, my conversational skills weren't exactly brilliant at this point) but on the other hand, at least it was a distraction, and a positive one at that. After that had happened, the event was almost over, so I left; my new room is much further out than my old one, which on this particular evening was a good thing because for a while I could just focus on putting one foot in front of the other without having to think about anything else. I got back to my room and even though the "danger" was over, everything was still on a go-slow. I slowly thought about getting into my pyjamas, then eventually did so, then slowly thought about making tea before deciding that was just more input I didn't need, so I slowly got myself a glass of water instead, then sat on Tumblr for a bit, then got into bed, cocooned myself in the covers (deep pressure for the win), and attempted to explain all this to the person I was with via Facebook (hence "turtle mode"). I always forget how long it takes for the "thrumming" to stop, for my body to catch up with my brain and realise everything is okay.
I should probably just give people here some vague instructions as to what to do when this happens, because like I said, there were people doing everything right and I just couldn't accept the offers of help. Basically, if it's possible to get me out of there, get me out of there. I actually tend to be okay with touch for the most part, so if I need to be sort of guided feel free to do that, but obviously if I flinch that's probably a sign you should stop. Once I'm out of there, I can probably take care of myself, breathe, stim, whatever. Maybe sit with me if you're worried, don't ask too many questions at first because you won't get any helpful answers, let me process it all for a little while and then I can start telling you what's wrong and we can do something about it. I guess for meltdowns (you will know if this happens, trust me, it's really obvious!!), again you'd need to get me the heck out of there (although that might prove difficult), obviously I'm going to need tissues and water would be nice too (for the headaches) but other than that, once I'm out and I'm safe and I'm not having all that information thrown at me anymore, it's best to leave me alone for a bit, let it happen, let me slowly calm myself down and then, finally, I might actually have the words to tell you what happened. Of course, everyone on the spectrum is different – it's a spectrum – so please don't take anything I say as a strict template to follow for other people.
So I guess shutdowns and meltdowns aren't that different, internally. And not being able to ask for or even accept help is really not nice.

Both my left turn signal bulbs started flashing quickly so I replaced both with the correct bulbs but they still flash quickly. They also do not light when I turn the lights on at night. I replaced the flasher module behind the emergency flasher and it still does the same thing. All bulbs flash slowly when the emergency flasher is on.
Could it be multi function light control lever assembly and how hard it is to replace that?

Hooray! From tomorrow newspaper publishers in the UK will be able to report both their print circulations and online unique users in one monthly report. This is a significant and welcome move by the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
It will reveal that all-important measure known as "the reach" achieved by publications by detailing both month-on-month and year-on-year figures for on-line and newsprint.
The new "multi-platform monthly report" will also break out figures by geographical region; the UK, Republic of Ireland and other countries.
The initiative follows requests from advertisers, agencies and media owners because it will undoubtedly introduce greater transparency. It's long overdue, but I know that ABC has been working as hard as possible to bring it about. Some media companies dragged their heels, I'm afraid.
But that's history. Martyn Gates, ABC's director of newspapers, is rightly proud of their achievement. He said: "The new single report displays print and online audience data together, enabling media owners, buyers and advertisers to get a better view of a media brand's cross-platform reach.
"The new report format will help standardise monthly reporting of online audience data, already commonplace with print."
Once established, the new multi-platform reporting will also be available to magazine publishers. A number of titles have already started publishing online figures in addition to their print circulations. (Source: mad.co.uk)

The Chairman of BT, Sir Mike Rake, has spoken of what he sees as the extreme importance of high speed broadband for both the domestic and commercial spheres.
Speaking at a recent meeting of leading companies which plan to give economic advice to the Welsh Government , Sir Mike said that broadband had 'not only moved from being a luxury to a necessity', but was 'now seen as a utility'.
Sir Mike praised the current initiative by the UK government to incentivise private companies to invest in the expansion of high speed broadband across the county; particularly in rural areas where homes and businesses are currently said to be lagging behind in the broadband revolution.
Signalling out Wales as including many areas where high speed broadband had been slower to develop, Sir Mike explained that the 'topography' had thus far been 'a particular challenge'.
He added, however, that BT was 'engaged very heavily in Wales' and said believed that in cooperation with the national authorities, and with help from government funding, 'we could cover 90% of the country'.
Sir Mike said that the remaining 10% of the country might need assistance from technologies other than cabling to receive access to high speed broadband, and cited 'wireless and satellite' as two likely examples.
The drive to increase high speed broadband access across the UK has been stepped up in recent years following a realisation that without the technology consumers and businesses cannot function on an equal footing with others across the world; a problem which has particularly worrying implications for business competitiveness.
In recent years, for example, many companies with access to high speed broadband have benefited from being able to adopt business VoIP (voice over internet protocol) and internet protocol (IP) telephony, resulting in cheaper voice calls and a more versatile, responsive use of their business phone systems.

Defender tries mailer to get more aid
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, July 14, 2009
San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachitook the unusual step of sending slick mailers to city residents pleading for their help in opposing proposed budget cuts to his office.
"I've tried the mayor. I've made my case to the Board of Supervisors' Budget and Finance Committee and now I'm going to the people," Adachi said Monday.
Mayor Gavin Newsomproposed a $1.9 million cut to the public defender's budget, which now stands at about $23 million, Adachi said. The supervisors' budget committee has restored $300,000, but Adachi said that's not enough. He said he may be forced to cut a dozen of the 90 attorneys from his staff and turn to pricey private attorneys to provide legal representation for his indigent clients. Adachi used leftover funds from his campaign account to print about 65,000 of the four-page color brochures. Its message: Contact members of the Board of Supervisors to "make sure the Public Defender's Office is properly funded." The full board will take up the city budget as early as today.

Motherly love: Former school board President Mark Sanchez, the new principal at Horace Mann Middle School, enlisted some free labor to help him fix up his new digs: his mom.
The 73-year-old Lorraine Sanchez has spent about 60 hours so far sanding, staining and varnishing some 40-year-old (or so) wood tables so the teachers lounge would have some nice furniture in the fall. She's peeled ancient gum off the undersides and sanded off carved initials.
The elder Sanchez (who scraped 40 pieces of gum off the first table alone) spends about four hours a day working on the tables.
And her son is not paying his mother, but he will occasionally treat her to breakfast.
Lorraine Sanchez appears to enjoy the work, however, and the tables look professionally redone.
"I'm really into the reusing, recycling movement," she said.

Veto power: With nine minutes to spare, Mayor Gavin Newsom delivered his promised veto of a package of legislation approved by the Board of Supervisors to give renters some relief during the recession. But the fight might not be over.
Newsom handed his veto letter to the clerk of the board at precisely 4:51 p.m. Friday, prompting tenant advocates to say they'll push for a veto override at the board and might even take the issue to the ballot.
The legislation would have expanded tenants' ability to add roommates, limited the amount of banked rent increases landlords can impose at once, and prohibited landlords from levying the allowable 2.2 percent annual rent increase if a tenant loses a job or experiences another financial hardship.

Dillon suffered nightmare scenario
Dundee United defender Sean Dillon simply couldn't sleep after the shock of a crushing 4-0 home defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the weekend.
However, the 27-year-old Dubliner, who has recently been deputising at centre-back, believes there is enough character within the squad at Tannadice to immediately recover and go on a decent run.
"I haven't stopped thinking about the game and I'm sure everyone was up late going over it in their heads," he told the Daily Record. "We have to make sure it doesn't happen again. It is a right good kick up the backside and that's what we need going to Athens.
"We need to look at where we went wrong - and there were plenty of things to look at - but the main thing is putting it right now," he added.
"We have two massive games in the next week and we've got to get back to the performances we know we're capable of."

Delta Delta Ct method for multiple reference genes? - (Jan/23/2011 )
Hi there
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether you can use the delta delta Ct method for qPCR data analysis with multiple reference genes and if anyone would know how to go about this?
You can use it but consider that delta-delta is only an aproximation method, since it doesn't take into account different efficiencies of different genes. More housekeepings are used to make the results more accurate, but at the same time you just throw away your accuracy with a delta-delta.
You can use this Pfaffl equation:
Where E is the efficiency of each gene. If you put "2" as E, it's the same as delta-delta. But if you do a dilution series for each gene and actualy calculate the efficiencies, you may get more accurate results.
Now how to normalise to multiple references - instead of single E^deltaCP for one gene you make a geometric mean of all of them. That means if you have two housekeepings, in the denominator you will multiply each E^deltaCP and then take square root of the result. (if three, than again, multiply and then take cube-root, and so on).
The final equation is from this paper Hellemans, Mortier, De Paepe, Speleman, Vandesompele (2007) (but I had to ask mathematicians to explain in, because it looks horrible).

Acts 20: 35"…It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Our church believes in missionary work and has a vision of mission in order to help get this precious message to the last member of the bride of Jesus Christ.
We strongly believe that as of today, they are still thousands of souls around the world who never had the opportunity to realize that God had sent a prophet in this age with a message to prepare the bride for the rapture.
In addition, many people around the world, especially in remote areas of certain countries who have already received this precious message face many problems and difficulties.
These issues and difficulties are either financially, physically or logistically and do affect daily their spiritual life. We also do believe that these brothers and sisters deserve help. Not only spiritual help with prayers, books and tapes but financial and logistical assistance from all of us.
Therefore, we cannot remain indifferent and let others do all the missionary works themselves. Many believers even think that you should have a lot of resources in order to do missionary work but we humbly don't see it that way.
Our vision is that every penny counts and every church, every Christian regardless of the size of their congregation and resources should have the burden for lost souls.
We do encourage each member of our congregation to invest in the missionary fund. We do have a special missionary fund to give each one them the opportunity to do so.
We are making sure that every penny given toward mission work is solely used for that purpose. Anyone who is led to join our little missionary efforts can contribute as well. This can be done by contacting us either by telephone, written correspondence or e-mails for instructions on how to direct the contribution.
II. OUR VISION OF MISSIONARY WORK CONSISTS OF (but not limited to)
Promote the work of missionaries especially evangelists and apostles who have the burden to run around with the message but are limited by resources. These days, we hear a lot about pastors but no longer about evangelists and apostles in the message because of resources limitation to enable them to carry on their duties;
- Support churches and ministers to preach Brother Branham's message in their respective communities and around the world, regardless of their doctrines. We put a special emphasis on people in remote areas;
- Support ministers in remote areas with means of transportation to be able to minister the Word of God and to have access to spiritual food of the hour;
- Contributions to help reproduce Brother Branham's message in form of books, tapes etc; for churches and organizations already doing such work;
- Contributions to help reproduce other literatures for the bride such as song books, tracts, pamphlets, magazines etc; for churches and other organizations already doing such work;
- Distributions of available materials both Brother Branham books and tapes and other literatures to hungry souls in our community;
- Contributions to churches in remote areas build churches and other needs;
- Contributions to help message believers any where with special needs especially in time of disaster and calamities such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, areas of wars etc.
E-2 But I am so happy to be here. Brother Moore was just telling me that they had taken up an offering for missionary work, to be given over to me for missionary work. I thank--I thank you. May God bless you.
I--I just don't know how to say it. I--I... It's just something about missionary that I just--it just... I just love it. And I just know that what you're doing... You're doing God's will when you give to missions. That is right.
It's not fair that one person hear the Gospel twice, when somebody hasn't heard it once. See? Everybody should hear the Gospel at least once. And I--I want to do my part to try to take the Gospel to everybody that I know how, every place. And I...
E-4 I don't know. He was in the meeting last night. He's a very personal friend of mine. I suppose maybe he's not in the afternoon meeting.
Now, back to the--the--the missionary offering. We are greatly appreciative of that. We know that when you're doing missionary work, you're doing exactly what the Lord said. Is that right? For He said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature," and that's the general orders of Jesus Christ, and we know then that that's right. We can't go wrong when we're tak--doing missionary work.
67 That's the reason the mission fields is on my heart. You have wonderful ministers here in Phoenix, and all around over the United States and places, churches on every corner, great men of God, healing services, great men like Oral Roberts and other great men preaching. And there's people over yonder, dying by the thousands every day, that never heard of the Name of Jesus. Poor little, dirty, hungry Negroes, way down yonder in Africa and over in India, little fellows laying on the street, dying, don't even know what "God" means. And then we argue about our little differences of religious belief. Oh, it's not just exactly right; I don't think, friends, if it's on your heart to see that.
E-33 And we've just stayed in one huddle here and preached it till you're Gospel hardened, then the heathens out yonder, are dying. That's my vision. I must go to them. There's where God has blessed. 'Cause they're hungering; they're thirsting; they want to hear something.
That's why I'm so with Tommy Osborn. He's got the same vision: Get the Gospel out. We got to. God's going to hold us responsible for it. The journey is on.
E-9 That's why we're here in America now, waiting for the hour that when we can cross the seas again, where we can go into those people. And the offerings and so forth that we get, all over the expenses, goes directly to that cause. Then when we get there at the judgment bar, you'll see that that's the truth. That everything that we have done with reverence, we've put it to the Kingdom of God, every cent that we can, and live as meager as we possibly can do, so that the Kingdom of God...
I do not believe that we ought to be building three or four million dollar churches and preaching, "Jesus is coming," and men on the field preaching the Gospel with no shoes on. It's not right. My brothers is on the field.
Other day under investigation, and the fellow said, "You buy your suits from Penney's and pay seventeen dollars?"
I said, "That's right."
Said, "Well, you can afford better suits than that."
I said, "Not when my brothers are eating two meals a week, no shoes on their feet, preaching the Gospel that I'm standing for. I can't afford any better than that."
That's exactly right. We have no right. No, sir. We have no right to blow millions for big buildings that's almost morgues anyhow. And millions are dying that don't even know Jesus Christ as Saviour, and crying and begging to receive It. And we put a big church up on this corner and proselyte this one on the other corner over here, make fun of them and tell them they're all wrong. Millions of such things are going on, and millions dying yearly that never heard the Name of Jesus one time. While we're fussing, they're dying over there without knowing Christ. And God's going to hold us responsible for it in that day.
189 Friends, you people who walked down that aisle and put that offering in there a while ago; people that fed my children, put clothes on their back; the people that's put your money (that you hard earned) in an offering plate, know where that goes? That helps take me overseas to the heathens that never has heard anything about God. That's what I do with it, every penny, God's my judge. Here's some of my... the man's setting right here now that's in--in the treasury of my church. I get one hundred dollars a week, and that's all; rest of it goes to sponsor overseas meetings where they can't come.

Politics can be a drag to watch, except for those rare occasions when a real competitive battle breaks out.
Anyone remember Ronald Reagan's attempt to wrest the Republican presidential nomination from incumbent GOP President Gerald Ford in 1976. There was a down-to-the-wire fight at the convention, with Ford barely nosing out Reagan.
Although Reagan came back to win the nomination and the presidency four years later, that 1976 family squabble left scars on the party that hurt it in the general election campaign against Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter.
Now it's the Democrats' turn for a family fight, and it's getting ugly. Really ugly.
So ugly, in fact, that two of The New York Times most unyielding liberal columnists are starting to throw punches.
Paul Krugman backs Hillary Clinton, and he's enraged by how nasty he says the Barack Obama campaign is.
Frank Rich backs Obama, and he's enraged by how nasty he says the Clinton campaign is.
It's illuminating to read their completely conflicting views of the Democrats' battle for the presidential nomination. Naturally, they blame the Republicans for the problem.
Krugman goes all the way back to former President Richard Nixon, dead for 15 years and out of the White House for more than 30 years, to find a scapegoat. Rich is more up to date, blaming President George W. Bush for what he describes as Hillary's sleazy tactics.
But the bottom line is that such personal invective the columnists hurl at their opponents does not bode well for Democratic Party harmony at their convention and beyond.
These are hardly the first shots fired in this extraordinary battle between the past, the Clintons, and the future, Obama. But it's instructive of how nasty it will become.

Massimiliano Allegri to Chelsea: Roman Abramovich's adviser reveals the latest update
CHELSEA have not agreed a four-year deal with Massimiliano Allegri insists one of Roman Abramovich's closes advisers.
Massimiliano Allegri has not been offered a four-year Chelsea deal
Chelsea will bring in a new manager in the summer when Guus Hiddink's interim tenure ends.
The Dutchman came in on a temporary basis to replace Jose Mourinho who was sacked in December.
Reports today suggested Allegri had agreed a four-year deal to move to Stamford Bridge.
However the Daily Star report that Abramovich's adviser have denied a deal is in place.
"That is not true. He is only an option," he said.
Chelsea have also been linked with Diego Simeone, Antonio Conte and Manuel Pellegrini although Glenn Hoddle thinks Ronald Koeman would be a good fit.
Ronald Koeman has been tipped for the Chelsea job
"He seems to be a really nice guy," Hoddle said on BT Sport. "I would probably go on a football front for Koeman. Koeman has been excellent.
"Saints fans won't like me for saying that, but Koeman for me, with better tools I think he will be on their radar."
