USC Football Recruiting: 5-Star ATH JuJu Smith Names Trojans a FavoriteJanuary 20, 2014
According to ESPN.com's Erik McKinney (h/t ESPN's Blair Angulo), 5-star athlete John "JuJu" Smith made Steve Sarkisian and the Trojans a little happier on Sunday when the Long Beach native indicated that USC made the cut for his top four schools.
USC has been the favorite for some time now and landing Smith would be huge for USC, as Sarkisian is looking to finish strong on the recruiting trail as national signing day rapidly approaches.
Smith is a member of the highly touted "Uce Crew," a tight-knit group of Polynesian athletes that is taking the 2014 recruiting class by storm. Fellow member Toa Lobendahn has already enrolled at USC while Viane Talamaivao is a Trojan commit. Damien Mama is another top target for USC in the Uce Crew and he too is a USC lean. That familiarity suggests Smith very well could end up a Trojan come Feb. 5.
Over the weekend, Chris Talamaivao—a member of Viane's family—tweeted this photo:
Mama, Talamaivao and Smith can be seen proudly sporting USC gear. Athletes often rock the apparel of the teams courting them throughout the recruiting process, so this photo could mean nothing at all.
Then again, it could also mean everything for Sarkisian and the Trojans.
With the recent decommitment of Austin Maloata—who, interestingly, is also in the Uce Crew—USC's 2014 recruiting class stands at 16 pledges. That leaves USC with three available scholarships, one for each of its top three targets: Smith, Mama and Adoree' Jackson.

Can you give me a > link to the relevant part of the policy documenting the interaction > bewteen package removal and cron jobs? Actually (unfortunately) I don't think the policy specifically mentions this. It does, however, mention this case for initscripts which have exactly the same problem. initscripts are in /etc, and are typically dpkg conffiles. But conffiles aren't removed when the package is removed (only when it's purged), so if an initscript of a removed (but not purged) package were to attempt starting a program from that package, it would fail. The recommended way to avoid this is to add to the top of the initscript: [ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0 Crontabs have the same problem. They're in /etc, are often dpkg conffiles, and cause some program to be executed. But the existence of the program binary can't be guarnateed, so nonexistence should be handled cleanly and elegantly. > Also, what is the AUTOREMOVE fuction you are talking about? Hmm this I can't answer.. I think maybe he means dpkg "deconfigure" action? Justin

The Special Olympics Escambia/Santa Rosa is looking for volunteers to become a part of the local team.
Volunteers offer sports training and competition while helping the athletes grow and showcase their skills. Volunteers also benefit by gaining a greater understanding of and appreciation for people with intellectual disabilities. The Special Olympics make sports accessible to hundreds of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our area.
The program heavily depends on volunteers. You can choose to volunteer your time year-round or on the day of events. Coaches, officials for various sports and mentors for the Athlete Leadership Program are roles you can sign up for. On the professional side, volunteers can help with marketing and communications, fundraising and games management. Any time you have to give is valuable.

PECK.---On Feb. 3, 1919, at his residence, 515 Clinton Av., Brooklyn, General Lewis Mead Peck, beloved husband of Emily Seymour Jones, in the 87th year of his age. Funeral services at the First Presby- terian Church, Henry St., near Clark, Brooklyn, Wednesday, Feb. 5, at 2:30 P. M.
from The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, February 3, 1919:
Fought in 18 Battles in Civil
War Wounded Twice Horses
Shot Under Him.
Maj. Gen. Lewis Mead Peck, 86
years old, a veteran of the Civil War
who fought in the Army of the
Potomac, the Army of the Gulf and
the Army of the Shenandoah, died this
morning of the ailments of old age,
at his residence, 515 Clinton ave. His
funeral services will be held on
Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
in the lecture room of the First Pres-
byterian Church, Henry st. near Clark
st., the pastor, the Rev. Dr. L. Mason
Clarke, officiating and the interment
will follow in Greenwood Cemetery.
Gen. Peck was one of the oldest mem-
bers of the First Presbyterian Church,
having joined the congregation when
he came to Brooklyn to live nearly
seventy years ago. He is survived by
his wife, who was Emily Seymour
Jones, and a daughter, Miss Emily
Seymour Peck.
General Peck was born in Connecti-
cut, on September 10, 1832, the son of
Obadiah and Lizetta Peck. He was
mustered into the Union Army almost
immediately after the outbreak of the
Civil War, as a captain in the 67th New
York Inf., on June 24, 1861, after he
had been engaged during May and
June in forming Co. K of Beecher's
First Long Island Volunteers. In the
four and a half years that he served
in the army he won rapid promotion
for bravery in battle. He fought in
eighteen battles and as many separate
engagements, and two sieges, was
wounded once severely and once
slightly, and had two horses killed
under him in the fighting. He was
promoted to lieutenant colonel of the
173d N. Y. Inf., on October 11, 1862,
and colonel on March 16, 1865, "for
gallant and meritorious service during
the war," and on the same date was
made a major general of volunteers
"for gallant and meritorious conduct at
the battle of Cedar Creek, Va.," on Oc-
tober 19, 1864. He was honorably mus-
tered out from the service on October
18, 1865. His regiment, which was dis-
banded at David's Island, N. Y., on
that date numbered only 400 men, hav-
ing had more than 600 casualties in
three years of service, with a loss of
nearly all its original field and line
On the files of the War Department
in Washington, D. C., in Gen. Sheri-
dan's own handwriting, is the follow-
ing indorsement of Gen. Peck's service:
"The services rendered the Govern-
ment by Gen. Peck during the time he
served under my command entitles
him to the brevet of major general of
volunteers, and I request that that
honor be conferred upon him.
"P. H. SHERIDAN, Maj. Gen., U.S.A."

DateTime.MaxValue Field
The .NET API Reference documentation has a new home. Visit the .NET API Browser on docs.microsoft.com to see the new experience.
Represents the largest possible value of DateTime. This field is read-only.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The value of this constant is equivalent to 23:59:59.9999999 UTC, December 31, 9999 in the Gregorian calendar, exactly one 100-nanosecond tick before 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 10000.
Some calendars, such as the UmAlQuraCalendar, support an upper date range that is earlier than MaxValue. In these cases, trying to access MaxValue in variable assignments or formatting and parsing operations can throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException. Rather than retrieving the value of DateTime.MaxValue, you can retrieve the value of the specified culture's latest valid date value from the System.Globalization.CultureInfo.DateTimeFormat.Calendar.MaxSupportedDateTime property.
The following example instantiates a DateTime object by passing its constructor an Int64 value that represents a number of ticks. Before invoking the constructor, the example ensures that this value is greater than or equal to DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and less than or equal to DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks. If not, it throws an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
// Attempt to assign an out-of-range value to a DateTime constructor. long numberOfTicks = Int64.MaxValue; DateTime validDate; // Validate the value. if (numberOfTicks >= DateTime.MinValue.Ticks && numberOfTicks <= DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks) validDate = new DateTime(numberOfTicks); else if (numberOfTicks < DateTime.MinValue.Ticks) Console.WriteLine("{0:N0} is less than {1:N0} ticks.", numberOfTicks, DateTime.MinValue.Ticks); else Console.WriteLine("{0:N0} is greater than {1:N0} ticks.", numberOfTicks, DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks); // The example displays the following output: // 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 is greater than 3,155,378,975,999,999,999 ticks.

DEAR READER: It appears to me that your basic problem is not insomnia. Rather, I believe the bladder spasms are to blame. So the first thing I would do is restrict your fluid intake. Specifically, don't drink anything after dinner (7 p.m. to 9 p.m.). In addition, you may wish to have your primary care physician check your urine for infection, which may cause no symptoms other than urinary frequency. I cannot comment on your use of diphenhydramine.
For young folks, it is a safe, inexpensive over-the-counter antihistamine that causes sleepiness. However, in people over 60, it can cause side effects such as grogginess and confusion the next day, so its use should be questioned in this age group. You don't mention your age. Quite honestly, I'd be surprised if your PCP failed to come up with a solution to your bladder problem. In any case, I'd pay attention to your evening/night hydration as a starter. To give you related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports "Urinary Tract Infections" and "Sleep/Wake Disorders."
Other readers who would like copies should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 for each report to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title(s).
DEAR DR. GOTT: My 27-year-old grandson travels all over the world, including Europe, Australia and Korea, as well as the United States, teaching swing dancing. He is a college graduate and is in good health. What specific shots should he have to protect his health while visiting these countries? He was born and raised in the Central Valley of California, an agricultural region, and currently lives in Los Angeles.
DEAR READER: The recommendations for avoiding and treating infections and other illnesses in world travelers vary frequently. Therefore, most experts advise such people to check with an infectious-disease authority or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov; 877-394-8747) to receive the most up-to-date information prior to leaving the United States on pleasure or business.

KL to Singapore
KL to Singapore
How can go to Singapore once in Kuala Lumpur?
I would like to avoid a plane.
Bus? Train? How long does it take?

Bus is quickest (about 5 hours) and cheapest as it roars along the freeway. For a reference site, try:
This is a direct bus. You can also split your journey KL > Melaka > Johore Bahru > Singapore.
Train is slower (about 8 hours), but perhaps more enjoyable.

"Our modern understanding of light and color begins with Sir Isaac Newton and a series of experiments that he published in 1672. He was the first to understand the rainbow — he refracted white light with a prism, resolving it into its component colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.
Artists were fascinated by Newton's clear demonstration that light alone was responsible for color. His most useful idea for artists was his conceptual arrangement of colors around the circumference of a circle, which allowed the painters' primaries (red, yellow, blue) to be arranged opposite their complementary colors (e.g. red opposite green), as a way of denoting that each complementary would enhance the other's effect through optical contrast."
Still today Newton's color system is used in fine arts.
But coming back to light:
One of the contemporary artists who is using light as a medium for art is the American Stephen Knapp.
His huge installations are made only of coated glass and light. The visible color on walls is reflected and affected by the angle of the glass to the light source – usually a halogen light. The glass reflects in two directions and the colors shoot around, overlap and create new color mixes.

Take a look at the nfsroot package. It is very outdated at the moment (doesn't know about libc6), but once you have taken a good look at the scripts you'll get the general idea and will be able to adopt them to your needs. The nfsroot package creates a very small root dir for the client. /bin, /lib, /usr, /home etc. are mounted on top of it. For /etc is has a hack, because the /etc directory should not be the same for all computers. The same goes for /tmp and /var, but AFAIK the package does nothing with them so you'll have to think of a way to handle them yourself.

Revolution 1775-1799 I hear by Captn Wm Riley news that makes me very Sorry for he Says you proved a Grand Coward when the fight was at Bunkers hill. . . . If you are afraid pray own the truth & come home & take care of our Children & I will be Glad to Come & take your place, & never will be Called a Coward, neither will I throw away one Cartridge but exert myself bravely in so good a Cause.—Abigail Grant to her husband August 19, 1776 BETWEEN 1775 AND 1799 . . . 1775: Patrick Henry attempts to persuade Virginia to arm its militia against the British, declaring: "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." The first shots of the Revolutionary War are fired at Lexington and Concord. In Salem, following the first news of the war, 13-year-old Susan Mason Smith chooses not to remove her shoes for several days, wanting to be prepared in case her family decides to flee. Only about half the white women in the colonies are literate enough to sign their names. 1776: With her husband, John, away at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Abigail Adams writes to him frequently and urges him to make sure that he and his colleagues "Remember the Ladies" while they are shaping the new nation; if they don't, she warns him, "we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation." Thomas Paine publishes Common Sense, a 50-page pamphlet that urges Americans to fight not only against taxation but also for independence; it sells more than half a million copies within its first few months. Betsy Ross (according to the legend that's been neither proven nor refuted by evidence) is visited by George Washington and asked to make a national flag; the stars on her design will have five points, rather than the six Washington suggests. In his first draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson writes: "We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independant, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness." For 67 days, the new country is called "The United Colonies of America"; in September, Congress gives the USA its official name. 1777: Sybil Ludington, the 16-year-old daughter of a New York militia officer, rides almost 40 miles to muster troops against the British. More than 100 women gather at the Boston store of Thomas Boylston to protest the merchant's high wartime prices. General George Washington leads 11,000 militiamen to Valley Forge near British-occupied Philadelphia, where they are forced to spend a bitterly cold winter, plagued by widespread dysentery and typhus and a severe lack of food, clothes, and basic supplies. Washington writes in a letter that the soldiers' "marches might be tracked by the blood from their feet." 1778: During the Battle of Monmouth Court House in New Jersey, Mary McCauly earns the name "Molly Pitcher" after making frequent trips with water to cool down both the men and the cannon in her husband's regiment. 1781: Los Angeles is founded by Spanish settlers; its full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula. 1783: The British evacuate New York. The Paris Peace Treaty ends the Revolutionary War. New Jersey, alone among the 13 states, enacts a statute giving women the vote; it will be put into sporadic use starting in 1787—and overturned in 1807. 1784: Abel Buell engraves and publishes the first map of the United States, "layd down from the latest observations and best authority agreeable to the peace of 1783." Judith Sergeant Murray publishes her essay "Desultory Thoughts upon the Utility of Encouraging a Degree of Self-Complacency, Especially in Female Bosoms," arguing that in the absence of sufficient confidence, women all too often marry precipitously to avoid the epithet spinster. 1786: In his sermon "On Dress," John Wesley declares: "slovenliness is no part of religion. . . . 'Cleanliness is, indeed, next to godliness,' " but warns: "The wearing [of] gay or costly apparel naturally tends to breed and to increase vanity. . . . You know in your hearts, it is with a view to be admired that you thus adorn yourselves, and that you would not be at the pains were none to see you but God and his holy angels." 1787: Despite Congress's plan merely to revise the 1777 Articles of Confederation, delegates draft a new constitution that gives increased power to a central government. 1788: Nine states ratify the Constitution, and it goes into effect. 1789: Though rich in land, George Washington must borrow £600 in cash to travel from Mount Vernon to New York City for his inauguration. 1790: The total population of the United States is 3,893,874, of whom 694,207 are slaves. Among white males, 791,901 are under the age of 16; 807,312 are 16 and over. 1791: Vermont becomes the fourteenth state. The national debt is $75,463,000, or roughly $18 a person. The Bill of Rights is ratified. 1792: George Washington signs an act providing for the creation of copper pennies and stipulating that "no copper coins or pieces whatsoever except the said cents and half-cents, shall pass current as money." The Old Farmer's Almanac debuts, offering weather predictions, tide tables, and occasional advice; it costs sixpence and has a first-year circulation of 3,000 that will triple in a year and after two centuries pass four million. 1794: Eli Whitney is granted a patent for the cotton gin, which combs and deseeds cotton 10 times faster than the nonmechanical process. 1796: Amelia Simmons publishes the first American cookbook under the title American Cookery, or the Art of Dressing Viands, Fish, Poultry and Vegetables, and the Best Modes of Making Puff-Pastries, Pies, Tarts, Puddings, Custards and Preserves, and All Kinds of Cakes, from the Imperial Plum to Plain Cake—Adapted to This Country and All Grades of Life. 1798: More than 2,000 people die in a yellow fever epidemic in New York City. 1799: A Philadelphia Quaker named Elizabeth Drinker writes in her journal about the nearly novel experience of taking a bath: "I bore it better than I expected, not having been wett all over att once, for 28 years past." 1775: Circa April 18 Rachel Revere to Paul Revere On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere (1735–1818) made his famous midnight ride to Lexington, Massachusetts, warning his countrymen of the British troops' planned attack. Revere was captured later that night, but his actions marshaled colonial troops to the famous first battle on Lexington Green, where the American Revolution began the next day. Once released, Revere started back toward Boston, despite having neither money nor horse. With this note, his worried wife, Rachel Walker Revere (1745–1813), tried to send him help. Dr. Benjamin Church was trusted by Rachel as a fellow rebel but was in fact a British spy. Rachel's letter was promptly turned over to the British. My dear by Doctr Church I send a hundred & twenty five pounds and beg you will take the best care of your self and not attempt coming in to this town again and if I have an opportunity of coming or sending out any thing or any of the Children I shall do it pray keep up your spirits and trust your self and us in the hands of a good God who will take care of us tis all my dependance for vain is the help of man aduie myLove from your affectionate R Revere 1775: April 22 Anne Hulton to Elizabeth Lightbody Anne Hulton (?–1779) was a sister of Boston's commissioner of customs and, like some 15 to 35 percent of the white colonial population, a British Loyalist. In this letter to her friend Elizabeth Lightbody, in Liverpool, she described the beginning of the war as it would come to be seen on the other side of the Atlantic, right down to the outrage of having His Majesty's troops attacked from behind trees and fences. By the end of the year, having endured months in a besieged city, Hulton would sail for England. Inst was a common abbreviation for instant, meaning "the month this was written." The Grenadiers were elite British troops who wore long red coats and tall bearskin hats. A magazine, in this context, was a warehouse. Hugh Percy was a British brigadier general. The Otter was a British sloop that would engage in battle in the first week of May. I acknowledged the receipt of My Dear Friends kind favor of the 20th Septr the begin'ing of last Month, tho' did not fully Answer it, purposing as I intimated to write again soon, be assured as your favors are always very acceptable, so nothing you say, passes unnoticed, or appears unimportant to me. but at present my mind is too much agitated to attend to any subject but one, and it is that which you will be most desirous to hear particulars of, I doubt not in regard to your friends here, as to our Situation, as well as the Publick events. I will give you the best account I can, which you may rely on for truth. On the 18th instt at 11 at Night, about 800 Grenadiers & light Infantry were ferry'd across the Bay to Cambridge, from whence they marchd to Concord, about 20 Miles. The Congress had been lately assembled at that place, & it was imagined that the General had intelligence of a Magazine being formed there & that they were going to destroy it. The People in the Country (who are all furnished with Arms & have what they call Minute Companys in every Town ready to march on any alarm), had a signal it's supposed by a light from one of the Steeples in Town, Upon the Troops embarkg. The alarm spread thro' the Country, so that before daybreak the people in general were in Arms & on their March to Concord. About Daybreak a number of the People appeard before the Troops near Lexington. They were called to, to disperse. when they fired on the Troops & ran off, Upon which the Light Infantry pursued them & brought down about fifteen of them. The Troops went on to Concord & executed the business they were sent on, & on their return found two or three of their people Lying in the Agonies of Death, scalp'd & their Noses & ears cut off & Eyes bored out—Which exasperated the Soldiers exceedingly—a prodigious number of the People now occupying the Hills, woods, & Stone Walls along the road. The Light Troops drove some parties from the hills, but all the road being inclosed with Stone Walls Served as a cover to the Rebels, from whence they fired on the Troops still running off whenever they had fired, but still supplied by fresh Numbers who came from many parts of the Country. In this manner were the Troops harrased in thier return for Seven on eight Miles, they were almost exhausted & had expended near the whole of their Ammunition when to their great joy they were releived by a Brigade of Troops under the command of Lord Percy with two pieces of Artillery. The Troops now combated with fresh Ardour, & marched in their return with undaunted countenances, recieving Sheets of fire all the way for many Miles, yet having no visible Enemy to combat with, for they never woud face 'em in an open field, but always skulked & fired from behind Walls, & trees, & out of Windows of Houses, but this cost them dear for the Soldiers enterd those dwellings, & put all the Men to death. Lord Percy has gained great honor by his conduct thro' this day of severe Servise, he was exposed to the hottest of the fire & animated the Troops with great coolness & spirit. Several officers are wounded & about 100 Soldiers. The killed amount to near 50, as to the Enemy we can have no exact acct but it is said there was about ten times the Number of them engaged, & that near 1000 of 'em have fallen The Troops returned to Charlestown about Sunset after having some of 'em marched near fifty miles, & being engaged from Daybreak in Action, without respite, or refreshment, & about ten in the Evening they were brought back to Boston. The next day the Country pourd down its Thousands, and at this time from the entrance of Boston Neck at Roxbury round by Cambridge to Charlestown is surrounded by at least 20,000 Men, who are raising batteries on three or four different Hills. We are now cut off from all communication with the Country & many people must soon perish with famine in this place. Some families have laid in store of Provissions against a Siege. We are threatned that whilst the Out Lines are attacked wth a rising of the Inhabitants within, & fire & sword, a dreadful prospect before us, and you know how many & how dear are the objects of our care. The Lord preserve us all & grant us an happy Issue out of these troubles. For several nights past, I have expected to be roused by the firing of Cannon. Tomorrow is Sunday, & we may hope for one day of rest, at present a Solemn dead silence reigns in the Streets, numbers have packed up their effects, & quited the Town, but the General has put a Stop to any more removing, & here remains in Town about 9000 Souls (besides the Servants of the Crown) These are the greatest Security, the General declared that if a Gun is fired within the Town the inhabitants shall fall a Sacrifice. Amidst our distress & apprehension, I am rejoyced our British Hero was preserved, My Lord Percy had a great many & miraculous escapes in the late Action. This amiable Young Nobleman with the Graces which attracts Admiration, possesses the virtues of the heart, & all those qualities that form the great Soldier—Vigilent Active, temperate, humane, great Command of temper, fortitude in enduring hardships & fatigue, & Intrepidity in dangers. His Lordships behavior in the day of trial has done honor to the Percys. indeed all the Officers & Soldiers behaved with the greatest bravery it is said I hope you and yours are all well & shall be happy to hear so. I woud beg of you whenever you write to mention the dates of my Letters which you have rec'd since you wrote specialy my last of March 2d I am not able at present to write to our Dear friends at Chester woud desire the favor of you to write as soon as you receive this, & present my respects to your & my friends there, and likewise the same to those who are near to you. I wrote not long ago both to Miss Tylston & to my Aunt H:—have not heard yet from the Bahamas Have never heard from Mr Gildart or Mr Earl yet The Otter Man of War is just arrived Sunday Morng What is marked with these Lines, you are at Liberty to make as publick as you please Let the merits of Lord Percy be known as far as you can.1775: April 29 Christian Barnes to Elizabeth Inman A known Loyalist, merchant Henry "Tory" Barnes was forced to leave his home in Marlborough, Massachusetts, to avoid capture. Terrified by the visit of a rebel soldier, Barnes's wife, Christian, described the incident to Elizabeth Inman (1726–1786), a Cambridge friend who shared her sympathies, if not her immediate peril. Along with hundreds of others who sympathized with the British, Henry Barnes would be officially banished from Boston in the fall. It is now a week since I had a line from my dear Mrs. Inman, in which time I have had some severe trials, but the greatest terror I was ever thrown into was on Sunday last. A man came up to the gate and loaded his musket, and before I could determine which way to run he entered the house and demanded a dinner. I sent him the best I had upon the table. He was not contented, but insisted upon bringing in his gun and dining with me; this terrified the young folks, and they ran out of the house. I went in and endeavored to pacify him by every method in my power, but I found it was to no purpose. He still continued to abuse me, and said when he had eat his dinner he should want a horse and if I did not let him have one he would blow my brains out. He pretended to have an order from the General for one of my horses, but did not produce it. His language was so dreadful and his looks so frightful that I could not remain in the house, but fled to the store and locked myself in. He followed me and declared he would break the door open. Some people very luckily passing to meeting prevented his doing any mischief and staid by me until he was out of sight, but I did not recover from my fright for several days. The sound of drum or the sight of a gun put me into such a tremor that I could not command myself. I have met with but little molestation since this affair, which I attribute to the protection sent me by Col. Putnam and Col. Whitcomb. I returned them a card of thanks for their goodness tho' I knew it was thro' your interest I obtained this favor. . . . The people here are weary at [Mr. Barnes's] absence, but at the same time give it as their opinion that he could not pass the guards. . . . I do not doubt but upon a proper remonstrance I might procure a pass for him through the Camp from our two good Colonels. . . . I know he must be very unhappy in Boston. It was never his intention to quit his family. . . .1775: Circa June 15 Sarah Deming to Sally Coverley All we know about Sarah Winslow Deming (1722–1788) is that she was born in Massachusetts, the daughter of John and Sarah Winslow, and that, as this letter attests, she was a terrified witness to the very beginnings of the American Revolution. The troops she referred to were British, and this letter to her niece was a vivid reminder that the war would be fought not in far-off battlefields, but on the colonists' doorsteps. General Thomas Gage was Britain's military governor of Massachusetts. Aceldama refers to the land Judas purchased with the money he received for betraying Christ; the word means "field of blood." The Sally Sarah referred to in the letter was a different niece; Lucinda was a servant. My Dear Niece I engaged to give you & by you your papa and mamma some account of my peregrinations with the reasons thereof. The cause is too well known to need a word upon it. I was very unquiet from the moment I was informed that more troops were coming to Boston. 'Tis true that those who had wintered there, had not given us much molestation, but an additional strength I dreaded and determined if possible to get out of their reach, and to take with me as much of my little interest as I could. Your uncle Deming was very far from being of my mind from which has proceeded those diflcutics which peculiarly related to myself—but I now say not a word of this to him; we are joint sufferers and no doubt it is God's will that it should be so. Many a time have I thought that could I be out of Boston together with my family and my friends, I could be content with the meanest fare and slenderest accommodation. Out of Boston, out of Boston at almost any rate—away as far as possible from the infection of smallpox & the din of drums & martial musick as it is called and horrors of war—but my distress is not to be described—I attempt not to describe it. On Saterday the 15th April p.m. I had a visit from Mr. Barrow. I never saw him with such a countenance. The Monday following, April 17, I was told that all the boats belonging to the men of war were launched on Saterday night while the town inhabitants were sleeping except some faithful watchmen who gave the intelligence. In the evening Mr. Deming wrote to Mr Withington of Dorchester to come over with his carts the very first fair day (the evening of this day promising rain on the next, which accordingly fell in plenty) to carry off our best goods. On Tuesday evening 18 April we were informed that the companies above mentioned were in motion, that the men of war boats were rowed round to Charlestown ferry, Barton's point and bottom of ye common, that the soldiers were run thro the streets on tip toe (the moon not having risen) in the dark of ye evening, that there were a number of handcuffs in one of the boats, which were taken at the long wharf, & that two days provision had been cooked for 'em on board one of the transport ships lying in ye harbor. That whatever other business they might have, the main was to take possession of the bodies of Mess. Adams & Hancock whom they & we knew where they were lodged. We had no doubt of the truth of all this, and that expresses were sent forth both over the neck & Charlestown ferry to give our friends timely notice that they might escape. N.B. I did not git to bed this night till after 12 oclock, nor to sleep till long after that, and then my sleep was much broken as it had been for many nights before. Early on Wednesday the fatal 19th April before I had quited my chamber one after another came running to tell me that the kings troops had fired upon and killed 8 of our neighbors at Lexington in their way to Concord. All the intelligence of this day was dreadful. Almost every countenance expressing anxiety and distress: but description fails here. I went to bed about 12 o. c. this night, having taken but little food thro the day, having resolved to quit the town before the next setting sun, should life and limbs be spared me. Towards morning I fell into a profound sleep, from which I was waked by Mr. Deming between 6 and 7 o. c. informing me that I was Gen. Gage's prisoner all egress & regress being cut off between the town and the country. Here again description fails. No words can paint my distress—I feel it at this instant (just eight weeks after) so sensibly that I must pause before I proceed.From the Hardcover edition.

anyone run errands without a bra on ever?
i was talking to my friend and she said that she always does her errands and would sometimes go out without putting on a bra, esp in the winter if shes wearing a big bulky sweater or something.
am i the only one who refuses to do this? and my reasoning for it may sound weird, but i would be MORTIFIED if i was in a car accident, and didnt have on a bra and they had to cut my shirt open or something,
im pretty sure i could get arrested for that lol i wear a 36 f
Yep. I go without a bra whenever possible. What's your hang up?
Even though I guess I could..I am just too used to wearing a bra in public
nooo my boobs are way too big for that lmao
Nope. I find it miserably uncomfortable to go without a bra unless I am in my pjs getting ready for bed.
I have huge boobs. The only way it wouldn't be obvious that I wasn't wearing a bra is if I kept my big winter coat on the whole time. Idc if medics see that I'm braless though. lol

2009/2/6 Priestley, Mark, VF-Group <firstname.lastname@example.com>: > Having discussed this internally and gone through some examples we agree with the issue identified by Josh. In addition, concerns were raised that even without the prospect of authors forking html to create localised content - which we agree is highly undesirable, debugging localised widgets could become more cumbersome, i.e. a case of checking all relative paths to see if they started with a "/" or not. A simple override behaviour is easier to understand, and, in our opinion, debug. > Agreed. It will make life easier for everyone. > We therefore support specifying the kind of behaviour outlined by Josh, i.e. first check the base folder for the file, if no match is found and if the base folder isn't the root, checking there using the same filename. My follow up question is that if this behaviour is specified then can't we also get rid of the behaviour relating to the leading "/" for relative paths in widgets? Maybe this is already implicit in Josh's proposal? This would also seem to partly address Jon's concerns below. > Again, I'm strongly against fiddling with URI semantics or devising our own path scheme. Paths should stay as they are: a forward slash means an absolute path; no slash means a relative path. Whatever solution we settle on must work within those constraints.

One of the joys of writing this blog--and something I think we are particularly good at here at On Violence--is coming up with wild ideas to improve our national security. Some favs: An International Criminal Court for Terrorists, Criminals and Pirates. Sending US Brigades on peacekeeping missions. Making Iran our ally in the Middle East.
Today, I present a new one: governments around the world need an Espionage Control Treaty.
I came up with this idea after revelations that the US had been spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel It was later revealed Angela Merkel had authorized German foreign intelligence service to spy on Germans for the NSA and she is now paying a political price for that. Since that revelation, there have been several repeated espionage snafus that make me think we need this more than ever.
- During negotiations with Iran, it was revealed that Israel was spying on US Secretary of State John Kerry and the negotiations.
- Recently, we discovered that the Russians had tapped into President Obama's cell phone.
- China has been accused of spying on American corporations to steal intellectual property.
Since you can't have a really good treaty without a really good acronym (START is probably the king of all treaties in this regard), we need one for this too. I propose "Restrictions on Espionage and Spying Treaty", or REST.
REST would prohibit, ban or limit forms of international spying. For instance, it could say that governments won't steal secrets from private individuals or corporations. Or it could prohibit sweeping up electronic communications and sharing them with allies. Or even all human intelligence collection on other governments. In short, it would make most clandestine spying illegal and against international norms.
Now I can hear some established national security voices clearing their throats to call me naive. They're already preparing to say, "Did you really not realize that we spied on foreign governments? Did you not think they spied on us back?"
Of course I did.
But the brazen spying on a supposed ally by the US did surprise me. In hindsight, it was fairly easy to predict the diplomatic damage. But just because something--like espionage--is always done, doesn't mean we have to--as a global community--keeping doing it (like slavery or war). And there are two great reasons why we could use this treaty.
First, intelligence could be the biggest waste of national security spending in the world right now. A lot of countries (not the US!), have dramatically restrained their spending on their militaries, but still spend boatloads keeping spies in the field. As Eric C wrote in his "Two Thoughts on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" post, spying often just wastes time, energy and money. Spies try to collect information, while counter-intelligence folks spread misinformation, and then the spies get that misinformation, understand it is misinformation then spread more. A lot of it seems not much better than guesswork.
Second, this is really the only way for the citizens of the global world to ensure our rights to privacy. Right now, the US can promise not to spy on its own citizens, but that doesn't apply to British, German or Australian citizens. And those countries can agree to protect the privacy rights of their citizens, but still spy on Americans. Then the intelligence services can just swap information. And even if you trust the UK, Australia and other western governments, do you trust the Chinese or Russian governments? Me neither.
So let's get to some obvious counter-arguments.
First, we wouldn't "unilaterally disarm". I bring this up because I can imagine someone saying, "We're going to give up all our spies and let China spy on us?" Absolutely not. The entire point of a treaty is to ensure a country doesn't do something unilaterally. So the US isn't going to stop spying on other countries until it has agreements in place.
This leads to the second counter, which we receive on the blog all of the time, "Is this really enforceable? Do you trust other countries?" Well, as much as I trusted the Russians when we first established arms control treaties. Or trust opponents in war to follow the Geneva Conventions. Essentially, any Espionage Control Treaty would have the same safeguards as any international treaty. Having a treaty, though, gives us a pathway to both inspections and starts the world on a path for a new global norm.
Of course, America doesn't always follow its treaty commitments. Think Geneva Conventions and the war on terror. That said, treaties help create international norms and I would love for a norm that enforced the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution worldwide. As a person who believes the values that founded America are universal, I'd love a treaty that starts that conversation.
The next argument, what about all the useful information we would lose? As I said above, I'm not too worried. For the most part spies write reports that become footnotes in other reports that are synthesized in even larger reports and no one ever reads most of them. Those reports, the slight edge we go for, are really just one or two steps above news reports, and maybe not even that high. (Remember when the CIA failed to predict the collapse of the Soviet Union? Remember when the CIA said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction?) We could still fund analyst shops to analyze the world; we just don't need spies collecting vague human intelligence sources and collecting all our digital history.
And what about the terrorists? As I linked to above, a hypothetical "International Criminal Court for Terrorists" would handle those criminal investigations.
Do I think this one will ever happen? Of course not. The spies would hate it. Would we be in a better world with it? Of course.

In so many of the great figures of salvation history—Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, David, etc.—a period of testing or trial is required before they can commence their work. We see the same thing in the initiation rituals of primal peoples, and you can see it in Luke Skywalker's initiation in Star Wars.
The goal of the Biblical initiation rituals is to convey this simple truth: your life is not about you. It is about God and God's purposes for you.
This was the purpose of Jesus's forty-day sojourn in the desert, which we model during Lent. The desert represents a stripping away of our attachments, so as to make the fundamental things appear. In the desert, there are no distractions or diversions or secondary matters. Everything is basic, necessary, and simple. Either one survives or one doesn't. One finds in the desert strengths and weaknesses he never knew he had.
So are you ready to visit your desert? Are you prepared to deal with your particular temptations to pleasure, power, money, and honor? Even if, in the past, you have not succeeded in the ways you wanted, remember that our God is a God of second chances. It's never too late to start again.
On this Ash Wednesday, let's recommit ourselves and together journey into the desert.

Vegan means that nothing coming out of the food truck comes from an animal.
Owner Adam Sobel isn't interested in converting people, just sharing his love for food vegan food.
"I really wanted to find a way to bring this cuisine to people that wouldn't go into a vegetarian restaurant," Sobel said.
There are wraps, heroes and sandwiches, and some with Asian flavors.
One featured sandwich is more Americana with maple mustard tempeh served with kale.
His soups will even appeal to carnivores including one made with kabocha squash soup.
Adam slices it up, with the rind on, he marinates the squash in olive oil, soy sauce and powdered ginger before grilling the slices.
Meanwhile, he makes a stock flavored with sage, bay leaves, and spices.
The squash goes in along with maple syrup before it's all pureed.
"It's like a Thanksgiving soup," Sobel said.
For dessert there is a creme brulee donut without the cream.
The desserts are the gateway to the world of vegan.
Kabocha Squash Soup Recipe
1 medium sized Kabocha squash
3 T extra virgin olive oil
3 T soy sauce
2 T powdered dried ginger
1/4 c extra Virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 carrots chopped
3 stalks celery chopped
2 T finely chopped ginger
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
1 T coriander
1 T crushed red pepper
1/4 cup maple syrup
7 cups water
Salt to taste
Remove the stem and seeds from the squash and slice it into 3/4 inch slices. Toss the slices in the olive oils, soy sauce and powdered ginger. Grill the slices on both sides on a charcoal grill or charbroiler until there are dark visible grill marks.
In a pot, heat the remaining olive oil and add the onions cellar and carrot. After cooking the vegetables for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, add the seasonings, water and Kabocha squash. Bring the pot up to a boil and then simmer for ten minutes, covered.
Allow the contents of the pot to cool for 1/2 an hour and then blend with an immersion blender or in batches in a countertop blender. Salt to taste.

It was a light news day yesterday, with a number of NY pols on the road, leadership battles in D.C. and a few state races yet to be finalized.
At least three of New York's four freshman members of Congress, in Washington for their orientation, got a taste of political hardball, D.C.-style, when they were drawn in the battle over the No. 2 House post by Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi, who made a pitch for her favorite, U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.
(Regrets to new U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke, a Brooklyn Dem, who may or may not have been in D.C. but didn't make the freshman class photo, as The Daily Politics points out.
Regardless, I incorrectly said there were three, not four, new NY Congress members, overlooking the NYC winner. As one downstate reader noted when pointing out the error: "you upstaters are so parochial").
While he was in D.C., U.S. Rep.-elect Mike Arcuri (24th CD) met with the man he's about to replace, outgoing U.S. Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, a moderate Republican, who pledged to help ensure a "smooth and convenient" transition.
The House Republicans, struggling to get used to their new roles as minority members, may be headed for their own leadership battle.
The RNC is poised to get a new chair in January to replace Ken Mehlman. The President is backing Mel Martinez – a pick seen as an effort to curry favor with Latino voters at a time when the debate over immigration policy is still simmering. But the jury's still out on him in some corners.
In the 25th CD, the recanvassing continues, although Democrat Dan Maffei has yet to make a significant dent in GOP U.S. Rep. James Walsh's approximately 3,200-vote lead.
U.S. Rep. Charlie Rangel, the Harlem Democrat about to chair the powerful Ways & Means Committee, is still apologizing (this time "sincerely") for his negative comments last week about Mississippi.
Meanwhile, in the U.S. Senate, Charles Schumer got a lot of ink for his promotion to a new No. 3 leadership spot (created just for him). If you haven't heard enough yet, read about it here, here, and here.
Schumer's one-time rival, Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer, completed Day One of his two-day upstate tour of a region his once compared to Appalachia (as it turned out, parts of it technically are). Along the way, the freshly-elected Democrat derided his predecessor, GOP Gov. George Pataki, for being too focused on NYC when it came to economic development.
Pataki, speaking on the turf of a potential 2008 White House rival, (outgoing Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney), said the GOP lost last week because it lacks "optimistic vision." Pataki said he will make a decision about whether to follow former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani's lead and form an exploratory committee for '08 after his term ends in seven weeks. Â
Giuliani's creation of a committee sparked blowback and analysis about the chances of America's Mayor becoming the Commander-in-Chief. He's got that 9-11 star power, sure, but can his left-of-center ideology and personal pecadilllos pass muster in red states?
The Times says Giuliani has time to think about it.
At least one Spano is coming back to Albany. Mike Spano, who departed the state Assembly two years ago and briefly became a lobbyist, will return in Janaury. His Democratic opponent, Shelly Mayer, conceded the 93rd AD race yesterday.
State Sen. Nick Spano, R-Yonkers, picked up close to 400 votes yesterday as the recanvassing continues in the 35th SD. But he still trails Democrat Andrea Stewart-Cousins by 1,971 votes.

The Red Sea crossing of Exodus 14 may have been the most dramatic of dry land water crossings in the Bible, but it was certainly not the only time God used that particular miracle to preserve the children of Israel.
In Joshua 3, as the Israelites finally entered the Promise Land after 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, they can upon another seemingly impassable body of water: the Jordan River. Verse 15 notes that the river was at flood stage, so crossing it would have been no simple feat.
God commanded the priests carrying the ark of the covenant to enter the river first, and it wasn't until the priests showed enough faith to step into the floodwaters that God held back the waters. In fact, God caused the waters of the Jordan River to "stand as a heap" far upstream. The waters flowing downstream to the Dead Sea drained away, allowing the children of Israel to safely cross the river bottom. But it wasn't mud they were trudging through, but rather "the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground."
This miracle was repeated in 2 Kings 2 when the prophet Elijah, Elisha, and "fifty men of the sons of the prophets" approached the Jordan River. Elijah took his cloak, "rolled it up, and struck the water." Incredible, the waters were "divided this way and that," perhaps in the fashion of the Red Sea crossing, allowing Elijah and Elisha to cross on dry ground.
The end of Elijah's ministry on this earth was rapidly approaching, and he asked Elisha what he could give him before he left. Elisha asked for "a double portion of your spirit be upon me." A short time later, Elijah was taken up into heaven in a chariot of fire. And when his cloak slipped off as he ascended, Elisha grabbed it.
He walked back to the river and struck it with the cloak, again parting the waters. He crossed back over the Jordan, thus beginning his miraculous new ministry as witnessed by the sons of the prophets.

Serving Aviation Industry Efficiently for the last 10 Years!
In 2004, Donald E. Baldwin, a professional with more than 30 years of experience in general and business aviation, founded Baldwin Aviation. The company remains relatively small but overcomes budget and employee constraints to serve many of the smaller flight departments in the industry. The CEO and President Donald Baldwin ultimately implemented proprietary processes and software that enables the company to support its small operations and deliver the same level of resources and services as other large, multinational competitors.
The Significances of Baldwin Safety Management Services:
Baldwin specializes in providing safety management programs to various flight departments. Their proprietary software, Baldwin Safety and Compliance as well as Safety Pulse, are the essential tools in which they deliver these services. Their safety management systems play a vital role in the development of their safety management programs on a grander scale. A safety management system, or SMS, is just one component of a complete safety program.
· It identifies hazards and categorizes risks
· It develops, documents, and mitigates safety related issues
· It tracks and measures the results of safety related activities
In addition, their comprehensive SMS programs also include such features:
· Customized manuals
· Emergency Response Plan
· A means to provide immediate feedback
· Defined expectations of all personnel
· Training Program
· Support Resources
· All aspects of flight operation
The operations manuals and emergency response systems that Baldwin develops allow small flight departments out of regulatory trouble. For example, private pilots have a method of accurately assessing their trip risk level due to:
· Weather
· Lack of recent experience
· Fatigue
This information can be inputted into the system that Baldwin has created so their flight operators can track their own risk exposure. The Baldwin database can be easily accessed, allowing operators to view not only their own data, but learn from data of other pilots and how they dealt with similar situations.
ASAP Semiconductor - The Distributor with Substantial Industry Reputation:
ASAP Semiconductor, through its proprietary website Aviation Sourcing Solutions, is a leading distributor of spare parts for many private aircraft and rotorcraft. We supply the parts needed to maintain the highest level of safety standards and which complement the safety management systems that Baldwin provides.

LIMA (Reuters) - Deforestation in Peru has slowed since peaking at nearly 180,000 hectares (700 square miles) in 2014 when swaths of the Amazon were illegally cleared for oil palm plantations, the head of the country's forest service said on Friday.

Indonesia may have laws stopping expansion of oil palm plantations into peat forests, but there are plenty of plantations grandfathered in, and a lack of law enforcement.

Demand for palm oil is driving deforestation in Borneo, as trees are cleared to make way for the planting of oil farm plantations, which will send carbon dioxide, a global-warming gas, into the atmosphere, new research shows.
Any notion that current palm oil production practices in southeast Asian peat swamp forests are environmentally responsible or sustainable in practice is ludicrous, say experts.
WASHINGTON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Clearing forests for palm oil plantations is a "technical" matter that should not get tied up with trade discussions, an Indonesian minister told a land and poverty conference.

The way you routed the PCV valve will not do anything, the PCV (positive crankcase ventialtion) valve allows the engine to re-burn oil vapors and other harmfull gasses that build up in the engine block. What you have done by routing the line from the airbox straight to the PCV valve is disabled that system completely...
Yes Bill, you're Right; I Forgot to say that this is a momentary setup While the Problems of my Subie gets Completely Fixed, then I'll hook the PCV setup as it Should.

What is your new title? Vice president, marketing, AbleNet Inc., Roseville
What are your responsibilities? Corporate brand strategy, as well as new assistive-technology product development. Specifically, my role is to expand AbleNet's presence into several new vertical markets — medical device, low vision and general consumer markets.
Tell us about your educational background. I am in my second year of the Strategic Communication master's program at the University of Minnesota. I also am an instructor, business case writer, adviser and academic collaborator with the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Entrepreneurship Program.
I entered this field because … we're really in a new world, a "coopetition," where the lines between competitor and partner have blurred. That's meant an exciting change in the marketing landscape in the past 20 years. It makes the relationships more complex, more challenging and, in the end, more fulfilling.
When I was a child, my plans were to become … an engineer. When I started my career, new-product engineering filled most of my day-to-day responsibilities. I always enjoyed the creativity — making something useful from a set of raw materials.
Something that surprised me when I started this job was … people who have dedicated their careers to serving people with disabilities are a passionate group. Due to each person's unique needs, their teachers and parents have had to become experts in the technology — in many cases creating innovative new products themselves.
Do you have a hobby or a favorite leisure-time activity? My wife, two middle-school-aged sons and graduate school keep me pretty busy. Once I finish graduate school, I'm looking forward to getting back to teaching martial arts and finally learning to play the guitar.
If I were to tell my out-of-state friends about the Twin Cities, I'd succinctly say … it is a creative powerhouse, not just for marketing and advertising folks, but engineering, theater and music. If you are looking for a community that values its cultural expression without living on one of the coasts, this is the place.
At the top of my "bucket list" is my plan to someday … join a fossil-digging expedition in the Badlands and leave the iPhone at home.

Google Wave gadgets
The gadget tutorial was easy to follow. I am starting with the state-full counter example and experimenting with that. The makeRequest API can be used to call remote web services inside gadgets. Other APIs let you process events inside a wave (from user actions, new or changed content, etc.) Cool stuff. There are many gadget containers but I was never interested in writing them myself until I started experimenting with the Wave platform.

Life is hard.
The viewing was hard.
As a mother myself it tore me up and I cannot imagine how that young lady must have felt. Probably so beyond pain and deep into that place where nothing hurts anymore. The numb spot.
It made me think a lot about life, and how it can be as cruel as it is kind. I sat through slide after slide of this beautiful little tiny person whom everyone in her life had just started to get to know. She was just at the point of developing her own personality and sharing smiles and laughter with everyone around her. I wept along with her friends and family.
It made me think about what's going on in the world right now and about how heavy life seems to be at the moment.
Life is hard.
We go through this progression of life hoping for...for what exactly? Riches? A nice pretty car and a house to keep it in?
Life is hard.
We fight with one another...why? Because hundreds of years ago some old men decided to DIVIDE themselves into political parties? Different times, different rules.
Life is hard.
We argue over who can use a bathroom, not thinking that if we just create singular bathrooms with a lock on the door that anyone can indeed...use the bathroom.
Life is hard.
We bicker about having the opportunity to hold a gun out in public...why? Are we that afraid to physically defend ourselves these days? Why do you feel so threatened?
Life is hard.
We complain when a child excels in the classroom because she is an undocumented immigrant...why? Our children all have the same chance to excel, many just choose not to because they know mom and dad will be there to blame the teachers and educational system. Why don't they want to excel?
Life is hard.
We think it's funny to see people all over the internet beating up one another, or being cruel to people and animals. Those videos go viral...why? Are we really that sick? Just who are the animals really?
Life is hard.
We say that we are Christians or religious, and then treat others that are NOT as if they are all lepers and prostitutes...Why? How is this living your life through Christ...or your God?
Life is hard.
We blame everything wrong with one another on Government officials....why? The President of the United states (whoever they are) doesn't force the hand that kills someone or makes us hate others.
Those are personal decisions.
We have a choice.
Life is hard, but it doesn't have to be.
While we argue over this awful and really stupid stuff... a couple is thinking about how their lives will be without that little ray of sunshine in their lives.
I call that perspective.
Life is hard...but LOVE isn't.
Live well people. Be kind.

Anna Matis, Class of 2006
My Southwestern University experience was invaluable to my life and career choices. I was able to study abroad for a full year in London as well as Budapest, Hungary, and my French minor gave me the opportunity to delve into the study of iconic pieces of French literature. After graduation from SU, I worked in Washington, D.C. and Houston in public relations and consulting.
Even in my work, I found myself missing a piece of my life that touched on my foreign language knowledge, being a fluent Hungarian speaker before beginning my study of French in middle school. My French minor from SU allowed me to smoothly transition into teaching, and I began the French program at MacArthur Ninth Grade School in Houston, TX.
After a few years of implementing the French curriculum and sponsoring French cultural learning opportunities for my students, I moved to Austin to pursue my M.A. in Foreign Language Education at the University of Texas. Austin has a wealth of opportunities to teach speakers of world languages, and I began teaching English lessons to ESL students while completing my degree. The culmination of these teaching experiences lead me to my current job as an ESL Instructional Coach for Round Rock ISD. I work with secondary schools in the district, training teachers and offering professional development opportunities for teachers to better meet the linguistic proficiencies of their students.
Even in my job today, I constantly seek opportunities to develop my craft, brush up on the latest research, and educate others. My experience as a lifelong learner will always continue.

Release Notes: This release fixes several bugs in XPath evaluation and cleans up the documentation. Upgrading is not urgent if you are not having problems with 1.1.1. There are no API or feature level changes.
Release Notes: Assorted bugfixes, including one that affects the results of XPath expressions. Improved documentation.
Release Notes: This version is believed to be fully conformant with the XPath 1.0 specification. Numerous bugs have been fixed since version 1.0 several years ago. If anyone is still using version 1.0, please upgrade at your earliest convenience.
Release Notes: This release fixes an assortment of small issues. Most importantly, it cleans up the license, which was a little contradictory and confused. (Not all files had the same license.) The entire package is now released under the modified BSD license (no advertising clause). Despite the "beta" designation, this release has far fewer bugs and is much more compliant with the XPath specification than the official 1.0 release. If you're using 1.0, you should upgrade.
Release Notes: The JavaDoc was expanded. Various parts of the code base were cleaned up and optimized. A couple of areas where Jaxen wasn't correctly implementing the XPath specification were addressed. It is now a little easier not to include the Jaxen extension functions if you don't want to.
Release Notes: Although still officially a beta, this release is a vast improvement over 1.0, and all users are strongly encouraged to upgrade. With a few small exceptions (most notably the deletion of ElectricXML navigator), 1.1 is backwards compatible with code written to the 1.0 APIs. Detailed changes include support for the lang() function. Return nodes are queried in the correct document order. ancestor::* and ancestor-or-self::* location steps no longer include the document node. Proper handling of NaN was implemented. The mod operator works on floating point numbers.
Release Notes: This final 1.0 non-beta release includes many bugfixes and a slightly redesigned public API for ease of use and clarity.
Release Notes: DOM support was improved. Preceding-sibling and following-sibling axis support was added.

At least one of two dozen senior citizens speaking out on property tax exemption rule changes said he felt like he was facing insurmountable odds.
"I feel I'm up against some real powerhouses, when you consider Superman and Geronimo are the sponsors of the bill," said Funny River resident John Grunza with a laugh.
Grunza was referring to Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly members Gary Superman and Deb Germano, authors of a proposed ordinance that tightens residency requirements to qualify for not paying taxes.
The ordinance would require a senior citizen to be eligible for the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend the same year or the preceding year in order to receive the $150,000 exemption mandated by the state, and not be absent from the borough more than 90 days to qualify for the unlimited exemption above $150,000.
Many of the seniors testifying during the assembly meeting Tuesday night said they worked hard and paid taxes all their lives and now feel they have earned the right to take extended vacations, especially to escape Alaska's winters and avoid needing to shovel snow, which becomes more difficult the older they get.
On the other side of the issue, Superman said the amount of property that is being exempted from property tax for senior citizens "is growing exponentially" and now totals about $400 million.
He said when he came back to the assembly in 2001, 1,947 seniors were claiming exemptions in the amount of $210 million.
This year, 2,661 seniors claim a total of $404 million in exemptions.
Grunza said using the permanent fund rules to establish residency "is the right way to go."
"However, the 90-day requirement is too restrictive," he said.
"All during my productive years, I worked two and three jobs and my wife worked so now I can go Outside for three, four months to avoid the harsh Alaska winters," Grunza said.
Another Funny River resident, Rosemary Galloway, also said she has earned the right to go Outside for four months if she chooses.
"That should not jeopardize my tax exemption," Galloway said.
"At least give us the six months as the permanent fund does," she said.
Borough attorney Colette Thompson explained the exemption would continue to apply on the first $150,000 of the property's assessed value as long as the property owner qualifies for the permanent fund dividend. The added residency conditions would only apply to the value exceeding $150,000.
"The way you guys are raising the values, you're gonna get us anyway," Galloway said.
Hardin Terrell of Homer said he approves of everything in the proposed ordinance.
"It prevents the rich from buying large homes up here and avoid property taxes while they travel abroad," Terrell said.
Kenai resident Barry Eldridge said he also fully agrees with the ordinance.
"We have a lot of people coming up from down south and buying ($300,000 to $400,000) homes on the river and not paying property taxes.
"I'm glad to pay some taxes to the city of Kenai and the borough for the many services we receive," Eldridge said.
"I think what you are doing is taxing the golden goose that lays the golden egg," said Bill Wirin, who resides at River Estates Drive in Soldotna.
"You're saying you don't want snowbirds to come up and buy expensive homes. If they stop ... property values will stagnate or be reduced. You should reconsider," Wirin said.
Dave Lowery, also of Soldotna, said he and his wife are on fixed incomes, and with property values continuing to skyrocket, they could be forced to lose their home because they could not afford the taxes.
"My wife and I enjoy running to the sun, and we find shoveling snow harder as we get older. We earned what we have," Lowery said.
James McKinney of Kalifornsky Beach suggested freezing the assessed value of property after the owner reaches a certain age.
Earl Miller of Soldotna asked if a person spends the 90 days down south, would they not be allowed to go to Fairbanks or Seldovia that same year.
Pat Porter, who said she was speaking as a Kenai resident, not as the mayor, said the exemption program has "placed a burden on the taxpayers who are not over 65," and suggested putting the issue to a vote of the people.
Following the testimony from the senior citizens, the assembly made several amendments to the proposed ordinance, but decided against trying to craft a perfect ordinance on the floor.
Action was postponed until the Sept. 5 assembly meeting.
Other assembly business
The senior citizen property tax exemption was not the only item on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly's agenda Tuesday night.
The assembly also took the following action:
· Awarded a $363,796 contract to Alaska Road Builders to resurface the main parking lot at Kenai Central High School; and
· Awarded a $24,148 contract to Kenai Chrysler Center and a $193,527 contract to Great Bear Ford to purchase eight replacement vehicles for the Maintenance Department and Solid Waste.
The assembly also scheduled public hearings for Aug. 15 on:
· Accepting $2,069,000 from the U.S. Forest Service for spruce bark beetle mitigation work;
· Accepting a $10,000 public interest contribution from Michael Armstrong to develop and conduct an environmental protection symposium on gravel pits and gravel pit operation;
· Applying $702,515 from the state to the borough's Public Employee Retirement System account unfunded liability;
· Accepting a $3,650 Department of Natural Resources grant for fire-fighting equipment for the Kachemak Emergency Service Area; and
· Accepting fire assistance grants totaling $7,500 for the Bear Creek Fire Service Area.
Borough Mayor John Williams presented an award plaque to borough Finance Director Craig Chapman, who was honored by the Government Finance Officers Association for his comprehensive annual financial reports.
A citation from the finance officers' group said the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting it awarded to Chapman "is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting."
Chapman said the award recognizes the work of his entire department, not just him.
