|Summary: A minimal version of the VIM editor
VIM (VIsual editor iMproved) is an updated and improved version of the vi editor. Vi was the first real screen-based editor for UNIX, and is still very popular. VIM improves on vi by adding new features: multiple windows, multi-level undo, block highlighting and more. The vim-minimal package includes a minimal version of VIM, which is installed into /bin/vi for use when only the root partition is present.

A handsome young executive romances a beautiful heiress. A footballer dumped by his girl makes out with a tribal whore in the forest. An attractive young widow tries to seduce an unsuspecting acquaintance. A jobless man tries his hand at gambling at the village fair. An old man sings devotional songs when alone, oblivious of the romantic/erotic inclinations of his glamorous daughter and widowed daughter-in-law.
All this and much more happen in ARANYER DIN RATRI when four friends set off in their car on a short vacation to the forests off the Bengal border, unlawfully occupy a government guest house, and come across members of an influential and well-to-do local Bengali family. Three days in the forest change them in different ways.
ARANYER... is evidently not one of the Master's most brilliant films. But still it traverses a range of human emotions seldom found in a film without a strong storyline.

The 2013 Celebration of Excellence, the annual Lancaster County School District's salute to the best in education and service, included its annual induction of hall of fame members.
Four deserving individuals, who made an impact in the classroom and beyond, took center stage on Monday, April 29, at the Lancaster Golf Club's Fairway Room.
The latest inductees included Bennett Gunter, C.C. Hanson, Ann Hough and Floyd White.
After more than four years of waiting, the excitement was palpable as Lancaster County officials cut the ribbon April 24 to officially open Walnut Creek Park.
The event, originally slated for last October, but delayed due to legal issues, drew local officials and residents, all eager to see the new 60-acre, $7 million county park complex in Indian Land.
When the 2012-13 school year ends at Indian Land High School, it will mark the end of an era.
For the last 20 years, well over the span of a school career for a student from kindergarten to graduation, Tamara Jacobus has been teaching and coaching at the Lancaster County Class AA high school.
When the ILHS doors close at the end of the month, Jacobus will be leaving for the final time.
It's an ominous sight. The flickering glow from the candle-lit bags illuminate the night. On this night they are a visual reminder of those who either lost their battle with cancer or still doing battle.
The dreadful disease is no respecter of persons and we all know someone – from all walks of life – who have dealt with it or are still dealing with it.
A host of deserving people were in the spotlight at the Kershaw Chamber of Commerce's annual banquet at the Kershaw Country Club.
The awards are a way to honor those who are making a positive impact on business, industry and life in the southern Lancaster County town.
Beverly Timmons was presented with the chamber's highest award. Previously known as the Citizen of the Year award, it is now called the President's Award.
The award is presented to a Kershaw citizen who has significantly contributed to the betterment of the community.
Well, it's about time Lancaster County Council finally took up the controversial issue of B-3 commercial zoning again.
Since council lifted the Panhandle's moratorium on B-3 zoning last June (five days before it was set to expire anyway), the issue had been dead in the water, despite several Panhandle residents' strident calls to bring it back to council's attention.
A highlight of the county high school track season takes center stage, Saturday, April 20, on the Lancaster High School track at the Rice Athletics Building.
The seventh annual KLS Running for Ryan features the county track meet at LHS. Boys and girls squads from Andrew Jackson, Buford, Indian Land and host Lancaster will be there to earn track bragging rights for the 2013 season.
In the past few years, Lancaster County has produced state champions and state qualifiers, and the annual meet seems to bring out the best from around the county.
The leadership for the future of the University of South Carolina Lancaster will be handled by a familiar figure.
Dr. Walt Collins III, USCL assistant dean of student affairs, was selected from a field of three candidates to replace Dr. John Catalano and lead USCL into its promising future.
Catalano, who guided USCL as dean for 11 years, announced his retirement in June, effective the end of the year.
Collins, a Clinton, N.C. native, has been a key part of USCL since 2002.
There's a lot of Palmetto pride on display in Lancaster County schools these days and with good reason – 11 of the county's schools recently won Palmetto Gold and Silver awards for the 2011-12 school year from the S.C. Department of Education.
And while that total number is lower than last year's 16 winning county schools, the number of gold award winners actually doubled from four last year to eight this year, despite a more rigourus criteria.
No one is immune. Loss of a job. Devastating medical issue. Death of a working spouse. Divorce. The list is endless. An individual or family's economic status can change almost immediately – for numerous reasons.
Life happens. And when it does, people often find themselves suddenly in need. Elaine Adkins knows. Adkins, executive director of HOPE (Helping Other People Effectively) in Lancaster, meets these people everyday.

Man first ascended in a hot air balloon
It was 1919 when the Rawlings Sporting Goods Company first marketed baseball gloves with webbing. Until then, even the big leaguers generally used leather hand covers with a palm pad and five short slender sleeves for the fingers and thumb – pretty much a padded version of farmer/rancher work gloves.
Fredericksburg, Virginia was the site of considerable conflict during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Control of that battle-torn town changed at least seven times before the war ended. The Fredericksburg Episcopal Church served as a hospital for both sides during the gory encounters. The church building still bears damage inflicted by cannon balls fired during combat.
Charles Curtis was the only Native American to serve as vice president of the United States (1929-1933). He was a mixture of Kaw, Osage and Potawatomi ancestry.
It was way back in 1783 when man first ascended in a hot air balloon. The Montgolfier brothers, Jacques and Joseph, co-invented the apparatus; but it was Jacques who made the first flight. The common people of Paris were amazed as was King Louis XVI, who elevated the Montgolfier family to hereditary nobility status. This seemed like a grand honor until the French Revolution erupted in 1789 when being a French noble suddenly became an extraordinarily dangerous pastime.
President Jimmy Carter's boyhood home was built from a "complete house kit" sold by the Sears Catalog Co.
The most accurate clock ever made (NIST-F2) was crafted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and is said to be exact within one second over the next 300 million years. The device "went online" on April 3, 2014. This new clock is three times as accurate as the old hit-and-miss NIST-F1 that it replaced.
Many industrial robots are dangerous for humans to operate or even be within "functional distance." Scientists from Whitesides Research Group (Harvard University) have constructed some promising robotic prototypes that are fashioned largely from soft pliable plastics. The softer materials may not be used in all industry applications but using wherever possible, e.g. auto/truck assemblies, should make work areas significantly safer.
The next time that you have a drink of water, appreciate that vital privilege. A recent United Nations study indicates that 748 million people do not have daily access to safe drinking water. Well, try to keep track of time with your whatever "make-do" clock – and somehow have a pleasant week.

The Supreme Court's dramatic decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act gives President Obama a major political victory.
But the controversial measure now becomes a major election issue and its future will remain in doubt at least until voters render their verdict this November.
That's because presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has pledged to scrap the plan Obama hopes will become his lasting political legacy, something he would be in position to do if he unseats the incumbent and fellow Republicans keep the House and win the Senate.
"If we want to get rid of Obamacare, we're going to have to replace President Obama," Romney declared after the decision, denouncing the plan as "a job killer" that would raise taxes and increase the deficit and vowing he would do on the first day of his presidency "what the court did not do."
On the other hand, Thursday's 5-4 decision means that an Obama re-election victory would probably ensure that the plan enacted after a bitter 15-month battle remains on the books, despite continuing resistance by congressional Republicans and many GOP governors.
Similarly, a split electoral verdict in which Democrats at least retain the Senate will make it harder for a Republican president to scrap the plan though he might be in position to change and possibly cripple it.
Obama called the decision "a victory for people all over the country whose lives will be more secure because of this law," citing specific benefits like those protecting people with pre-existing conditions and warning critics against refighting the political battles of two years ago.
He acknowledged that, even if he wins, the plan likely will face changes over time. In fact, no one really knows how its complex details will work, and it also remains unclear if it will succeed in slowing the soaring costs of health care as the goal of universal coverage is pursued.
Beyond its impact on America's health programs, Thursday's decision will have a major impact in defining the Supreme Court tenure of Chief Justice John Roberts. By joining the court's four liberal members to uphold the Obama law, Roberts underscored his promise during confirmation hearings to approach cases with "no agenda," rather than from an ideological viewpoint
Conservative critics had counted on the court's five Republican appointees to reject the measure's key mandate requiring all Americans to purchase health insurance through private companies, regional networks or a federal alternative or be subject to a payment.
Ironically, that concept was initially a Republican idea and was part of the plan Romney enacted in Massachusetts, as Obama observed Thursday.
The mandate is crucial because it provides the funding to pay for extending health insurance to more than 30 million Americans who lack it today.
But though Roberts questioned the constitutional authority for it in last March's oral arguments, he joined with the four Democratic appointees to uphold it, not under the constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce but under the taxation authority.
Though the decision settled the issue of the law's constitutionality, the reaction made clear it won't come close to ending the bitter debate over the degree to which the federal government should regulate the nation's health care.
If Romney wins, he has vowed that, on Day One of his presidency, he would grant all 50 states waivers to opt out of the federal program and would follow that up with legislation to kill the plan through the same budget reconciliation process Obama used in 2009 to get his bill through the Senate.
Ironically, the court appears to have given the GOP nominee an additional campaign weapon to use against Obama by defining the required payment for those forsaking insurance as a tax. Republicans immediately noted that Obama had promised his plan would not raise taxes on middle-class Americans.
In the end, any hope of getting rid of the Obama plan now rides almost totally on the election results.
But the nation still faces major health care issues, and Thursday's decision makes it more likely that Obama's Affordable Care Act will be the vehicle to deal with them.

Cedars-Sinai has received its fourth consecutive Magnet® recognition in Nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), becoming the hospital with the longest-running Magnet designation in California.
In 2000, Cedars-Sinai became the first Southern California hospital to earn the Magnet honor; it is the only hospital in the state to be granted the designation four times joining a select list of only 12 hospitals worldwide that have earned that distinction. Nationwide, fewer than 400 hospitals have earned the four-year Magnet designation. Studies show that Magnet designated hospitals tend to have lower mortality and infection rates, as well as higher patient satisfaction and nurse staffing levels.
Magnet designations are based not only on the quality of care provided, but also on a commitment to continuously improving patient care and the health of the community. The designation recognizes excellence in nursing and provides consumers with a benchmark to measure the quality of care they can expect to receive.

The Emmys are sticking with the familiar in the drama series category.
On Thursday, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominated just one newcomer, "True Detective," for drama series, along with returning favorites "Breaking Bad," "Mad Men," "Game of Thrones," "Downton Abbey" and "House of Cards." For the third straight year, broadcast television was entirely shut out of the category.
The inclusion of defending champ "Breaking Bad" was virtually a foregone conclusion. The series, which stars multiple Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston as a high school teacher who turns to manufacturing crystal meth to pay for his cancer treatment, concluded its five-season run on AMC last fall to ecstatic acclaim and record ratings.
Less certain, if not exactly surprising, was the nomination for HBO's moody anthology series "True Detective." The network made a calculated risk by entering the Louisiana-set mystery as a drama series, even though many regard it as a miniseries (each new season will feature an entirely different story, cast and setting). The first season starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as a mismatched pair of cops on the trail of a serial killer, and enjoyed high ratings, critical adoration and resounding buzz. HBO Go, the network's online streaming portal, crashed due to an overload of users tuning in to watch the season finale in March.
This marks the fourth nomination in a row for the fantasy epic "Game of Thrones," based on the series of novels by George R.R. Martin. The lavishly violent series has been a massive ratings hit for HBO and won numerous Emmys for its makeup, costumes and visual effects, but has yet to claim the big prize.
The Netflix political thriller "House of Cards," which stars Kevin Spacey as a ruthless majority-whip-turned-vice president and Robin Wright as his scheming wife, made history last year by becoming the first series distributed solely via the Internet to be nominated for drama series. This is the second straight nomination for "House of Cards," which is based on a British drama of the same name.
The once-dominant "Mad Men" also eked out a nomination, despite airing just seven episodes this year. The four-time drama series winner, which is set in the 1960s ad world and follows the story of tortured creative executive Don Draper (Jon Hamm), will return to AMC next spring for its final seven episodes.
Rounding out this year's batch of nominees is the PBS costume drama, "Downton Abbey." The British ensemble series, about a tragedy-prone aristocratic family and their fleet of servants, airs in the United States as part of the "Masterpiece" program. It continues to be a ratings winner for the public broadcaster, with the third season finale earning 8.5 million viewers.
A rule change implemented this year allowed for a seventh nominee in the outstanding drama and comedy categories in case of a voting difference of less than 2%, but academy members seem to have settled on just six nominees.
This left both 2012 winner "Homeland" and the CBS legal drama "The Good Wife," which enjoyed a renewed round of praise for its most recent season, out in the cold. Also overlooked were critical darlings "Orphan Black" and "The Americans," and the well-received freshman series "Masters of Sex" on Showtime.
The Emmys will be broadcast live on Aug. 25 on NBC. The ceremonies, which are being held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, will be hosted by Seth Meyers.

I participate in the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program (BSMP). The BSMP opportunity came at the right moment. It was a chance to grow academically, strengthen some weaknesses in my education, improve my English and have more contact with other places and cultures.
The BSMP program gives 100,000 scholarships in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — or STEM — to Brazil's best undergraduate and PhD students, helping them afford to study abroad and increase knowledge in Brazil.
I chose to participate in the BSMP because I have been looking for an opportunity to study abroad. I applied to the program and was given the chance to study at UB. I've been here since June of 2012. I came first to attend the English Language Institute (ELI).
After graduation, I intend to pursue either a master's or a PhD program in order to become a researcher.

In These Gripping Events, Competitors Test Their Metal
Strong Hands Lift Sledgehammers, Bend Steel Bolts; Horseshoes Into Hearts
WOOSTER, Ohio—Andrew Durniat grabbed a sledgehammer in a crowded gym one recent Saturday, held it at arm's length in his right hand and cautiously levered the implement until the 16-pound steel head touched his nose.
He then dropped the oversize hammer to the rubber-tiled floor and bounded over to a stack of weights. With a vice-like pinch of his thumb and fingers, he picked them up using a thin metal strip as a handle.
He wasn't just showing off. Mr. Durniat was a top contender at the ninth North American Grip Sport Championships, where 24 other men (and one woman) with freakishly strong hands gathered to squeeze, lift and bend an array of medieval-looking contraptions in a battle to be christened grip champion of the continent.
"Grip used to be a sideshow act. Guys would do it as an afterthought," says Mr. Durniat, 34 years old, who hosted the annual competition at his cinderblock-walled gym, across the street from a welding supply shop on the outskirts of this small town. "We have a qualifying system now and the largest number of competitors ever."
The sport combines traditional powerlifting, strongman stunts and circus sideshow in an amalgam where picking up weights mounted on bars the thickness of train axles and bending steel bolts share billing in officially sanctioned competitions.
The grip world thrives on its peculiarity. Nick Rosendaul, a 34-year-old who hauls boxes at UPS for his day job, uses his spare time to hand-bend steel rods, metal wrenches and horseshoes into custom artwork.
"With bending art, people want to know what tools we use and how we heat it," Mr. Rosendaul said, sweating a bit after gingerly twisting a steel horseshoe into a heart shape with his bare hands, not a blowtorch in sight.
Jedd Johnson, 34, who walked around the competition in slippers and sniffed smelling salts between lifts, often entertains people by ripping phone books in half. He has been at the forefront of providing structure for this unusual hobby in the U.S.
"We've done a lot of work to try to make the sport as legitimate as possible," he says. A big step was the development of the North American Grip Sport Organization in 2010. The sanctioning body helps establish rules and monitor contests and records, working with other grip enthusiasts around the world who hold competitions. Mr. Johnson also frequents The Grip Board, an online forum where devotees trade training tips, such as ways to improve thumb strength, and spread the word about competitions.
Truck drivers, actuaries and elevator mechanics competed in the Ohio event, but it isn't the only place for a show of strong hands. For the past three years, Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio, has held the Mighty Mitts competition, a glitzy gantlet of grip tests—like picking up a 172-pound anvil by the horn—held on a stage in front of thousands of spectators.
"I'm not doing backyard grip contests. I'm not wasting my time," says 34-year-old Rich Williams, explaining his reason for skipping the Wooster event. The 6-foot-4, 410-pound former college football player has won the Mighty Mitts for three straight years. "You don't see me on the grip boards or in the grip community. I feel like it's a secret society or a cult."
That is fine for the hardened hand warriors here, who opened their contest by closing grippers, coil-spring hand-strength tools resembling something from a sporting-goods store. But these pro-grade grippers are precision-machined and require Herculean efforts. The most famous gripper, the ominously named No. 4 Captains of Crush, hasn't been officially closed in nearly a decade.
Competitors had four attempts to close one of 60 different grippers, all sitting on a table laid out in a gleaming, graspable cornucopia. Each device had a different tension and was worth a different score. After a few failed attempts at models sporting massive springs, the top competitors, succored by gulps of energy drinks, played it safe by closing a relatively easy one just to tally some points on their overall score.
In the second event, Mr. Johnson, who had kicked off his slippers, watched as Mr. Durniat chalked his hands and straddled a bar loaded up with weights. He grunted and lifted it with both hands by a flat-sided handle so wide he couldn't wrap his fingers around it.
Both men were favorites in this event, called the "two-hands pinch." Mr. Durniat, tied for the overall lead going into the event, mishandled his last pinch attempt, weights slipping to the floor. As he stoically shuffled off to the side, Mr. Johnson hollered for motivation, planted his feet, and hefted 253.92 pounds, beating everyone else.
By afternoon, competitors had gone through two blocks of hand chalk and fingers were failing on the final events. Around dinner time, even loyal fans started getting antsy as Mr. Durniat tallied up totals.
"It's a long day," said Caitlin Insana, 23, who came to support her boyfriend. "You pay attention when he's up, and when he's not you read magazines, books…go shopping."
During the awards ceremony, Mr. Durniat modestly mentioned that he had won the overall title, despite a third-place finish in the two-hands pinch. His win automatically qualified him for a spot in next year's Mighty Mitts at the Arnold Sports Festival. Winners in each weight class came to the front of the gym for their championship prize: a few souvenirs and $65 in cash.
That night, the heavily muscled group descended on the First Amendment Public House, a restaurant owned by Mr. Durniat's wife, Kyle. As regular patrons looked on, the grip guys stepped away from their burgers and pints of beer to gleefully tear decks of cards in half and bend steel bolts in two. One folded a crescent wrench in half and presented it to a woman at the bar as a pen holder.
Ms. Durniat passed around a frying pan her husband had rolled up and made to look like a taco. Most patrons were impressed, but one guy eyed the pan skeptically. "Sooner or later I'd try and buy him a thicker skillet," he said.

The future hospital of the McGill University Health Centre will definitely be built as a public-private partnership, executive director Arthur Porter insisted Tuesday evening.
The provincial government has been seriously considering taking over the MUHC project from the private sector. Health Minister Yves Bolduc's press attaché told The Gazette two weeks ago that the public-private partnership model – known as a PPP or P3 – might be abandoned if "it's not in the interest of taxpayers."
Porter said he called the minister's office the day after The Gazette report, arguing that any change in government policy could jeopardize the project in the middle of the bidding process.
"I have been assured as late as (Monday) by the health minister, who visited me in my office, that we are going ahead with the P3 process," Porter told The Gazette after speaking to the MUHC foundation's board of directors.
Under the P3 model, a private consortium would raise the funds to build the hospital on the site of the former Glen railway yard in the city's west end. After construction, the consortium would maintain the complex for 34 years, leasing it back to the government.
Porter told the board of directors that the winning bid will be announced at noon on Dec. 3 and that there will be a ground-breaking ceremony the following day. However, in an interview Porter conceded that ultimately it's the government that's calling the shots.
Bolduc was in Quebec City and could not be reached for comment.
John Rae, chairman of the MUHC's "Best Care for Life" fundraising campaign, told the board that donors have so far made commitments that will only materialize once construction begins.
"Our task is not to reassure people whether the project will go ahead," Rae said. "Our task is to reassure people that the project will go ahead."
So far, the campaign has raised $210 million in commitments. The fundraising goal is $330 million.
St. Clair Armitage, PPP project director, said that more than 300 meetings have been held with the private consortia. Bids are now being studied to determine whether they meet specifications.
Ultimately, 60 per cent of the winning bid will be chosen based on quality and 40 per cent on price, Armitage added, meaning the winning bid might not be the lowest.
Porter said he has reviewed the two bids and they are both excellent.
The MUHC hospital is expected to be completed by 2013-14.

Two major government budgets were released this week, by Ontario and the Feds respectively; as widely anticipated, both will balance spending and eliminate debt by the end of the year with no cuts to any social services. Critics from the left and right applauded the leaders for showing such fiscal responsibility while managing to balance the needs of all Canadian citizens. Asked how he expected to deal with the looming crisis with old age pensions, Prime Minister Harper noted that the budget called for the phasing out of seniors beginning in 2016...
Okay, now that I've got my April Fool's joke out of the way, let's look back upon the messy conflagration of human events that constitutes last week's news highlights here at Huffpost. Maybe the big news about the budgets was their lack of news: in both cases, the "draconian cuts" expected failed to materialize. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty largely eschewed the hard choices recommended in the Drummond Report; and government spending under Harper is set to rise. Contributor J.J. McCullough summed up the reaction to the Ontario budget for many with "Meh." Ditto with his observation that the federal budget "only confirms Harper's dullness," noting, "The 2012 federal budget was the last silky adornment to be peeled off in Stephen Harper's long dance of seven veils with Canadian Conservatives. Turns out there's not much underneath."
Those were not the views necessarily from many of our contributors from the left: depending upon whom you read, the federal budget spelled doomsday for our environment/a victory for big oil and corporations/pending poverty for seniors/the death of the CBC. Contributor Martha Hall Findlay felt the budget fell short on austerity and prosperity; similar criticisms poured in from Canadian Labor Congress head Ken Georgetti, the Green Party's Elizabeth May, and Environmental Defence's Gillian MacEachern. On the other side of the hallway, conservatives such as Senator Claude Carignan praised the budget as "a vigorous economic action plan for Canada" -- while others approved the breaks that will be extended to the West, in terms of decreased regulation and immigration reform (read contributor Steve LaFleur's take on how the Western provinces will benefit from the budget). And David Frum heralded the budget as yet another example of why Canada continues to be "the best governed democracy on earth:"
Canada [compared to the U.S. and European countries] has been seeking to move at [an economic] pace that's just right -- and with the 2012 budget, Canada continues to succeed. Barring an unexpected slump into renewed recession, Thursday's budget moves Canada to budget balance over the next three years. There will be no tax increases. Federal spending growth will be restrained, but outlays will still rise: from $272.9 billion in the year just ended to a projected $296.6 billion in 2015-2016.
You can read a round up of reaction from both sides here. And if you haven't been following veteran news analyst Tim Knight's "Watching the Watchdog" column you should be -- and most recently his assessment how the cuts to the CBC could actually yield a better product.
Can we please move to a sexier topic than the budget? Yes we can. Will prostitutes and brothels do it for you? Sure -- and in a potentially safer environment, thanks to a ruling by Ontario's top court, which seeks to legalize these dens of sin. By bringing prostitutes out of the shadows -- or in the words of the judicial panel, "a world of dark streets and barren, isolated, silent places" -- and indoors, workplace standards of safety might be applied. (Hmm, I'd like to see the inspection teams on this one. "I'm sorry, Madame, but these whips and cuffs violate Domanatrix code, Section 2, which states as follows pertaining to the requirements and safety of sexual equipment ...") You can read a vivid and powerful description of the dangers sex workers habitually face on the streets, by SteppingStone's Rene Ross, here.
And moving over to the animal rights department, Huffposter readers may have been astonished (and horrified) by contributor Douglas Anthony Cooper's definitive expose of PETA's pet killing record. Celebrities who get naked to support the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals campaign against furs might want to reconsider putting their clothes back on after reading Cooper's chilling piece:
"In 2011, PETA killed 97 per cent of the animals delivered into its care.... You would rather go naked than wear fur? That's admirable. Can I interest you in posing for another slogan? "I would rather jump naked into an industrial meat grinder than lend credibility to [PETA founder] Ingrid Newkirk's death cult."
It's this sort of original reporting and commentary that make me proud to be part of Huffpost. And others are waking up to it as well -- most recently, and notably, with reporter Rachel Mendleson's article on the decline of unions -- part of our ongoing Mind the Gap series on income inequality -- being nominated for a Canadian Association Of Journalists Award.
More political nonsense to come in the week ahead (which is maybe why Lance Armstrong told our Rebecca Zamon that he would avoid politics) -- especially when Tory Senator Patrick Brazeau submits to having his head shaved in the foyer of the House of Commons. Having lost the widely publicized charity boxing match to Liberal MP Justin Trudeau, getting scalped, so to speak, was part of the loser's deal. Personally I was hoping to see Trudeau's wild, girly mane go under the clippers. But he won fair and square.
Maybe next year, Stephen Harper will take on new NDP leader Thomas Mulcair in the ring? The latter is suddenly running neck and neck in the polls. (For those who missed it, see Ottawa bureau chief Althia Raj's definitive coverage of Mulcair's win at last week's NDP convention.) Absent an election any time soon, a boxing match may be a more fun way to settle the score...

1974 Jensen Healey GT Lotus 907, 2.0L, 16v, DOHC from North America
A great value and a car that truly is a pleasure to own
Master brake cylinder rebuild.
Rebuilt 2nd gear in transmission.
Replaced leaking valve cover gaskets.
General Comments:
The performance of this car is it's best feature. It's a sleeper. Stock HP was rated at 140 - and reviews at the time showed 0-60 as low as the mid 7's. Generally people expect similar performance to other small roadsters (MGB, Triumph, Alfa, Miata) - but when properly tuned it's much quicker. It's a high-revver, and sounds great at the high-end, especially. Especially impressive to me is that the car won it's class in SCCA back in the early 70's and then won again 25 years later.
The handling is very good. Probably not the tightest in it's class (anti-roll bars, etc aren't standard equipment - but available) - but it also provides a nice ride. It soaks up small and medium bumps nicely and provides a nice touring ride. I have driven it on a 2000m + trip to California that was quite comfortable.
Parts are easy to get and reasonably priced for a vintage car. There is a great Internet community and club (JHPS) available to owners. It has been quite reliable - more than I expected when I bought an old British car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Clarendon Park is such a mixed area, both in terms of housing and occupants. The same was definitely true in Victorian times. Take Clarendon Park Road for instance – at one end the houses were so smart that they only had names, not numbers (at least until the Post Office reorganised Leicester street numbers c1908) – and at the other end were one-roomed almshouses and five-roomed 'villas'. I find it fascinating, so when I found this in The Times 4th Aug 1890…
"On the 31st July (suddenly), at Fairford House, Clarendon-park, Leicester WILLIAM JOHN WALLACE, many years with Messrs. J. Simmons and Co., Upper Thames Street, aged 55 years."
…I had to find out more. Fairford isn't a house name I have seen whilst trudging up and down Clarendon Park Road on the school run, so I looked at a variety of sources and so far have come to the conclusion that Fairford House is the same as Fairfield House, i.e. number 2 Clarendon Park Road.
And it turns out that William John Wallace did die suddenly and in very unpleasant circumstances.
Born c1835 in Lambeth, William married and had a properly Victorian number of children (at least 9). He was a commercial traveller, working for the firm J Simmons and Co. He was obviously successful, because after the death of his wife Mary he left London and started up in business in Leicester. He purchased the booksellers and stationers business at 14 Granby Street from Francis Hewitt in 1886-7. His first advertisement appeared in The Chronicle in 1888, for "The Best Writing Inks Made" (Hollidge's Blue Black Writing Fluid, in case you are in the market for writing ink). At the same time as purchasing the business, William and his children moved into Fairford House on Clarendon Park Road.
All was well for a time. William was a sidesman at St John the Baptist Church and, according to The Chronicle, was a Freemason and a member of the Caledonian Society in Leicester. He was also interested in the Leicester Dramatic Club, and had given lantern slide shows. In January 1889 he wrote a will making provision for his children, most of whom were still quite young. Then, in August 1890 something terrible happened. Intending to take his patent medicine for biliousness in the middle of the night and presumably in the dark, he instead took a dose of poison that he had bought to kill a dog and stupidly left on his nightstand. He was not found until the following morning, by which time nothing could be done for him and he died a couple of days later, after having explained his mistake. I can't help feeling that there is something fishy about all this, but can't put my finger on why.
William's will left his eldest daughter Helena Ada Wallace in charge of all his money (about £3,ooo) and asked her to maintain a home for and raise her younger siblings until the last one reached twenty one. William left it up to Helena and her brother Edward to decide whether to sell the business or keep it going – she obviously wanted to carry on, because from 1892 the directories advertise "Misses Eleanor and Ada Wallace, trading as W Wallace." She had a rough time of it – just before Christmas 1891 the shop was burgled. Helena moved the family to 5 Severn Street (Highfields) for a time, but then around 1895 returned to their native Lambeth. The business at Granby Street was kept going until after 1900, but was then sold to The Irish Linen Co. This was under the terms of the will, as all the children had reached adulthood. The money was split between William's children and they went their separate ways.
The money didn't go very far. Helena ended up as a "lady housekeeper" to a clerk at the stock exchange in Streatham Common. She didn't stand much of a chance of getting married, being saddled with all her brothers and sisters to bring up. Perhaps she never intended to. She died quite young, in 1917, leaving £667. It's funny how far a few lines in the newspaper can take you! Regards, Elizabeth.

Shuttle launches second-gen mini PC
XPC Mini X200 adds TV tuner, Wi-Fi, integrated GPU to ultra-SFF barebones
Updated Small form-factor PC specialist Shuttle has launched the successor to its XPC Mini X100 slimline media centre-oriented computer chassis. The box takes up no more desk space than a sheet of A4 paper and is a mere 5cm high.
The XPC Mini X200 incorporates an Intel 945GM-based mobo ready for a Core 2 Duo CPU and up to 2GB of DDR 2 SDRAM. The system uses Intel's integrated GMA950 graphics chip and has 7.1-channel HD audio on board. It ships with a digital and analogue TV tuner, and a remote control. It also has an FM tuner.
The new model also sports integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. It retains its predecessor's four rear-mounted USB 2.0 ports with an extra one on the front, it's lost the X100's Firewire port. The s-video port's gone too, but the new model does have PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors. As before, there's a DVI connector for the display.
The X200 also has a multi-format media card reader, Shuttle said.
Two X200s are on offer: the X200MA and the X200BA. The former is the fully featured version, the latter a cut-down model that ditches some of the media centre features for a lower price. The MA will retail for around €940 ($1,240/£637), the BA for €743 ($972/£499). ®
The system sports the same look as last year's X100, reviewed here. ®

Landow [You may use this image without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose as long as you (1) credit the person who scanned the image and (2) link your document to this URL in a web document or cite the Victorian Web in a print one.]George du Maurier. Scanned image and text by
Commentary: Du Maurier, who is here probably parodying Oscar Wilde, also mocks the simple-minded Guardsman, one of those wealthy, generally idle young, members of the upper classes with a philistine knowledge of the arts who joined one of the prestigious military units based in London, such as the Horse Guards at Buckingham Palace. The Guardsman is probably a young son (and hence unlikely to inherit great wealth or title), or someone like Trollope's Sir Felix Carbury, who has inherited title but not wealth, and is in search of a wealthy wife.
An Infelicitious Question" thus mocks two extreme attitudes or positions toward the arts -- the ignorant upper class sportsman and the aesthete. Like many of du Maurier's works, it provides an accurate record of both costume and furnishings of the period. Note in particular the pottery and ceramics pieces, some of which undoubtedly would be Rossetti's and Whistler's beloved "blue china" -- ceramics created by the Chinese for export -- or works by British artists, such as de Morgan.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Teenaged Female Carhops Were Routinely Abused by Male Managers, Federal Agency Charged
HOUSTON – Two Sonic Drive-In franchises in the Kingwood-Humble area with common ownership and management will pay $55,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged that S.D.I. of Kingwood, doing business as the Kingwood Sonic Drive-In, and S.D.I. of Lee Rd., doing business as the Lee Road Sonic Drive-In, violated federal law by routinely subjecting teenaged female employees to abuse by a manager and others, including threatening one young worker with a knife.
The EEOC's suit said that the franchises' primary owner promoted a young, unqualified family member to consecutively higher management positions within the restaurants and allowed him to use his position of power to sexually harass the teens starting in 2006. The EEOC also contended that this manager permitted and encouraged other male employees and managers to join in the harassing conduct.
According to the EEOC, Aracely De Leon, a 16-year-old employee, was forced to quit due to harassment by the manager, and another young employee, Elizabeth Maxwell, then age 17, was also subjected to sexually harassing conduct by the manager. The EEOC claimed that, after she rejected his advances, the manager became abusive to Maxwell, even threatening her with a knife in the restaurant's kitchen. Maxwell was subsequently fired from her job for opposing the illegal conduct, according to the EEOC. The agency also charged that other teenaged female employees were subjected to or witnessed sexual harassment within the workplace.
Sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 4:08-cv-02874 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
The settlement terms of the lawsuit, set forth in a consent decree signed and entered by U.S. District Judge Vanessa D. Gilmore on June 8, 2010, require the defendants to pay $55,000 in relief to compensate Maxwell, De Leon and other class members for the sexual harassment and retaliation. The decree also contains provisions to ensure that the owner, managers and employees of the two franchises are properly trained to fully comply with employment discrimination laws. In addition, the two defendants are required to develop and implement new policies and procedures for addressing illegal discrimination in the workplace, as well as guidelines for investigating complaints of discrimination. These policies and guidelines must be approved by the EEOC prior to implementation.
"This lawsuit was filed in order to protect some of our nation's most vulnerable and impressionable workers – teenagers who, often, are newcomers to the workplace," said Jim Sacher, the EEOC's regional attorney. "The unchecked actions of the young manager in this case clearly put young women at risk. This settlement is an important step in ensuring that such workers are able to enter the workplace for the first time without fear of harassment or retaliation."
Anyone who believes he or she has been subjected to a discriminatory employment practice is encouraged to contact the EEOC's Houston District Office, which is located in downtown Houston on the seventh floor of the Mickey Leland Federal Building at 1919 Smith Street.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

PIANY representatives meet with Hudson Valley lawmakers
BREWSTER, N.Y.- Professional Insurance Agents of New York State Inc. Director Thomas Ianniccari of The Reis Group, Mahopac, N.Y., met recently with Hudson Valley legislators Sen. Vincent L. Leibell, R-40, and Assemblyman Gregory R. Ball, R-99, to discuss key insurance issues. He was joined at his meeting with Sen. Leibell by PIANY Past President Erik Nicolaysen III, CPCU, of Nicolaysen Agency, Chappaqua, N.Y.
PIANY is working on behalf of local independent agents, their businesses and their clients for the passage of a comprehensive legislative agenda in 2010, which includes: reforming no-fault, repealing mandatory photo inspections; raising automobile surcharge thresholds; and standardizing windstorm triggers.
"PIANY has been having conversations with area lawmakers for many years, sharing ideas and solutions that benefit the New York insurance consumer." said Ianniccari. "I appreciate the time and consideration these legislators have provided and we will continue to work with them to help ensure that these concerns are addressed throughout the year."
PIANYs legislative priorities are of particular importance to the insurance-buying public throughout New York state. The associations key goals for the year are as follows:
- Raise the minimum threshold for automobile surcharges. This legislation would raise the minimum threshold of property damage that, if exceeded in a motor vehicle accident, would allow an insurer to impose a policy premium surcharge. The threshold was established more than a decade ago and should be updated to reflect inflation. The Executive Budget proposal would increase the threshold for imposing premium surcharges to from $1,000 to $3,000.
- The repeal of mandatory photo inspections. Currently, insurers must require these inspections, which call for photos to be taken of a car before collision or comprehensive insurance is issued. Though originally intended to reduce insurance fraud, the requirement represents an onerous burden for the insured, as failure to obtain an inspection, with sometimes as little as five days notice, can result in a lapse of physical damage coverage. Methods for verifying and tracking the existence and physical condition of vehicles have improved greatly since the regulation was enacted, making the regulation antiquated and unnecessary.
- Reform no-fault. New York state is experiencing steep increases in no-fault fraud, evidenced by a 56 percent increase in typical no-fault payments for medical care of accident victims in the last five years. As a result, the costs associated with fraud and abuse of the states no-fault system are ultimately borne by policyholders, our members clients, and are now the second highest in the country. Nonetheless, New Yorks no-fault system remains sound public policy and a viable system to ensure that injured policyholders claims are paid in an effective and efficient manner. The time has come, once again, for substantive change of the no-fault system though both legislation and regulation. PIANY supports changes to New Yorks laws and regulations to fight the epidemic of insurance fraud that is attacking the states no-fault system.
- Standardize homeowners insurance windstorm triggers. Windstorm coverage requires classifications of wind damage in order for a policy to coverage damage, related to specific "trigger" events. However, these "triggers" differ from policy to policy, potentially leaving gaps for insurance consumers. The development of uniform hurricane deductible triggers is something that must be addressed before we witness the consequences that will occur the next time a catastrophic event hits New Yorks coastal areas.
PIANY is a trade association representing professional, independent insurance agencies, brokerages and their employees throughout the state.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Most of the major Asian markets fell Tuesday, with stocks in Hong Kong and Tokyo hit particularly hard as Europe's political troubles forced their way back into investor focus.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, -1.23% tumbled 2.3% for its biggest single-day percentage loss of this year, while Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, +0.06% sank 1.9%.
South Korea's Kospi 180721, +0.01% fell 0.8%, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +0.33% and Taiwan's Taiex XX:Y9999 lost 0.5% each.
Ranking among the gainers, China's Shanghai Composite 000001, -1.45% advanced 0.2% after a choppy trading session.
"The market isn't looking at the fundamentals but is back to the binary risk-on/off syndrome as fears over Europe resurface, focused on Spain and Italy," said Andrew Sullivan, head of sales trading at Kim Eng Securities.
"Another issue for Hong Kong is that we are in the runup to Chinese New Year, and retail investors may take this opportunity to lock-in recent gains and take cash to put in their lai-see packets," he said, referring to the customary red envelopes with cash gifts that are exchanged during the holiday.
Euro-fears revive
U.S. stocks took some heavy losses Monday, as uncertainty over Europe rattled investors and triggered a steep pullback from five-year highs. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 15 points, or 0.1%, at 13,860 by late afternoon in Hong Kong. Read: Stocks' worst day of year sends Dow below 14,000.
"The current flare-up in worries has to do with rising political risk in Spain and Italy," said Barclays Capital strategist Aroop Chatterjee.
"Markets have been increasingly comfortable with European risks over the past few months and are largely not positioned for this increase in political problems. The outcomes in Spain and Italy are far from certain and may represent stumbling blocks for further expansion in risk appetite," Chatterjee said.
The Hong Kong market suffered particularly heavy selling, with heavyweight HSBC Holdings PLC 5, -1.40% US:HBC — which has a major presence in Europe — down 2.7% amid the concerns over Italy and Spain.
European markets sold down overnight, with opinion polls in Italy showing weakening support for the current austerity reforms, and a political corruption scandal plaguing Spain. Read: Italy, Spain jitters spook Europe markets.
Among other Hong Kong movers, shares of Sinopec — formally known as China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. 386, -3.57% SNP, -3.80% — skidded 6.4% on fears of equity dilution after announcing a $3.1 billion private share placement. Read: Sinopec raises $3.1 billion in private share sale.
Recent gainers in the consumer, property and financial sectors also suffered losses, with Bank of China Ltd. 3988, -0.94% BACHY, -0.74% lower by 3.8%, and Henderson Land Development Co. 12, -0.78% HLDVF, +0.67% dropping 3.9%.

Fujitsu Ltd. 6702, +0.73% FJTSY, +0.32% retreated 3.8% after a Nikkei newspaper report that the firm will post a fiscal-year net loss of almost ¥100 billion ($1.1 billion), hurt by costs relating to revamping its semiconductor business.
Hitachi Ltd. 6501, -0.43% HTHIF, -0.68% tumbled 6.4% as investors reacted to a lower fiscal-year outlook from the conglomerate and a 38% drop in quarterly net profit, which missed analysts' expectations.
In Australian trading, hearing-aid company Cochlear Ltd. COH, +0.90% CHEOY, +0.10% tumbled 9.3%, retracing recent gains, after the firm said it returned to a profit in its fiscal first half, but at a lower level than analysts had expected.

Preference-Driven Personalization; What Men's Wearhouse Can Teach Us
The Challenge: Many companies are still not using preference based personalization. This compromises relevance and sacrifices engagement and potential sales.
40% of consumers say they prefer buying from retailers that cater to their preferences. According to research firm The E-tailing Group, respondents said they:
» Find it valuable if the retailer offers product recommendations tailored to their personal tastes and shopping histories.
» Purchase more often when retailers send e-mails that are personalized based on a shopper's past interactions.
» Purchase more often when retailers send e-mails that are personalized based on a shopper's past interactions.
One retailer who has embraced preference based personalization is Men's Wearhouse. With more than 1,100 stores nationwide, Men's Wearhouse prides itself on providing personalized service to all of its customers. "Customer satisfaction is our highest priority, across all of our channels," said Susan Neal, EVP, E-Business, Marketing and Digital Technology. "Just as our in-store tailors alter garments to perfectly fit each customer, we plan to deliver personalized emails individually tailored to each recipient."
• Men's Wearhouse captures data from every customer touch point, mines behavioral signals using advanced predictive algorithms and overlays deep retail domain knowledge.
• They are extending their personalized experience to email as well.
• The company has in-store wardrobe consultants to help its customers. This service continues the online experience which offers a website for its full offerings as well as a separate website just for tuxedos by type of occasion. The Tux Sites features a dedicated Wedding Planner that can be contacted online or via an iPhone app.
• Overall Men's Wearhouse is an example of a forward-looking retailer that understands the importance of delivering clients a consistent, personalized experience.
According to our firm's VoC research on the Preference driven Reciprocity of Value Equation, consumers are willing to share personal preference information with trusted brands in exchange for "reciprocity of value" — in other words, receiving highly targeted and relevant offers and communications based on their individual preferences. This represents a powerful opportunity for marketers to transform how they engage with customers and prospects.
3 Research-based Takeaways
1. 59% of shoppers said that it is easier to find what they're looking for when retailers personalize the shopping experience. So make it easy for your customers to find and buy what you have to sell.
2. 40% of consumers said they buy more from retailers that personalize shopping across all channels. So make sure your personalization experience extends to every aspect of your customer experience and interactions.
3. Retailers that remember the shopping behavior of individual consumers and use it to personalize future experiences are being rewarded — consumers are more engaged and purchase more. So be sure you have in place accurate and easily updated CRM practices and technology.

The PCM has detected an abnormal reading from the injector control pressure regulator circuit. If this code is present, the driver should shut the engine off IMMEDIATELY! Catastrophic engine failure could result if this condition is not rectified at once. This type of code is limited exclusively to diesel powered applications. If this code is exhibited in your gas, hybrid, or electric vehicle suspect a defective PCM.
The PCM monitors injector control regulator pressure (high pressure oil) on some late model diesel vehicles, anytime the engine is running. Variations in injection control pressure that exceed a predetermined maximum, or fall below a minimum pound-per-square-inches of pressure, will cause a trouble code to be stored and a service engine soon lamp may be illuminated. Most models will illuminate the service engine soon lamp on the initial failure.
The service engine soon lamp may be illuminated and a code will be stored in the PCM. Failure to turn the engine off during a low injector pressure situation could lead to catastrophic engine failure.
Technicians report that the most common cause of this code comes from lack of oil pressure caused by lack of proper maintenance or a low oil level. Other causes include a faulty injector control pressure sensor, a defective high pressure oil injector control regulator, shorted or open wiring in the injector pressure control sensor circuit, and injector pressure control connector failure due to heat and/or corrosion.
Injector control pressure sensor replacement is common but not automatic. Many times an injector control pressure sensor is replaced to correct a low oil pressure condition that has been prolonged too long. If internal high pressure oil pump or engine failure has occurred, due to a low oil level/oil pressure condition, an injector control pressure sensor will appear to rectify the situation for a time but the low injector control pressure condition may return when the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

The Sock Hop: 13 Pairs That Prove Chic and Great Stocking Stuffers
If there's one thing we can say for the cozier set of looks sent down the Fall '12 runways, it's that there's one common denominator involved: socks. Sure, they may not be the most glamorous of accessories, but they do provide an extra layer of warmth and make for perfectly sized stocking stuffers. Did we mention — if scrunched, styled, and worn with the right shoe — they can really make an outfit pop, too? Look to the Marc by Marc Jacobs lineup, which utilized classic tweedy knit socks to amp up its academia-chic references. Turn your attention to Victoria Beckham's luxe-meets-slouchy knee-high rendition (pictured), an example of how the dress-and-sock combo isn't just for school girls. Or, in a surprise twist, add a sexy lace edge to your heels with inspiration culled straight from Dolce & Gabbana's darker Baroque catwalk. Whether you're dressing for a snow day, your 9 to 5, or a night out on the holiday scene, there's a way to keep your socks fully integrated into the style equation — see 13 ways here.

A Greek and Arabic Lexicon is the first systematic attempt to present in an analytical and rationalized way our knowledge of the vocabulary of the translations. It is based on the glossaries included in text editions, both published and unpublished, and on other materials gleaned from various sources. The work is published in fascicules of 128 pages of lexical entries plus indexes of the Greek-Arabic correspondences, of Greek proper names and transliterated words, of variant Greek and Arabic passages, and of the Greek authors cited in the context passages. From the second fascicule onwards the indexes are cumulative.
A Greek and Arabic Lexicon is an indispensable reference tool for the study and understanding of Arabic scientific and philosophical language and literature. It facilitates the preparation of future editions of Arabic texts translated directly from the Greek, as well as of works originally composed in Arabic but based on the translations. It contributes to our knowledge of the vocabulary and syntax of Classical and Middle Arabic, of the thought and methods of the translators and of the nature of the translation activity into Arabic methods of the translators and of the nature of the translation activity into Arabic as a whole, and of the way a new vocabulary may develop in an existing language.
Moreover, the Greek-Arabic glossary in general and the index of variant Greek passages in particular will assist in future editions of the Greek text of the works translated into Arabic. These provide information, in a way that can be used by classical scholars who do not know Arabic, on the readings of the manuscripts which were used by the Arab translators and which antedate by more than two centuries the Greek manuscripts actually extant. The work further contributes to our knowledge of the vocabulary of Classical and Middle Greek and of the reception and reading of classical Greek works in late antiquity and pre-Photian Byzantine literature.

Columbus city officials are billing the first year of a citywide curbside recycling effort a success and hope to draw more people -- and recyclables -- into the program.
Columbus city officials are billing the first year of a citywide curbside recycling effort a success and hope to draw more people -- and recyclables -- into the program.
From June 2012 to May 2013, Columbus residents recycled more than 22,000 tons of materials, saving landfill space and $1.24 million in landfill disposal fees.
The goal is to collect 50,000 tons of recyclables by the end of the year, so the city will target specific neighborhoods to increase participation and tonnage, said Erin Miller, the city's environmental steward.
Columbus has partnered with the Carton Council to help kick off a public awareness campaign to encourage residents to recycle their food and beverage cartons.
There's a new push to get residents to recycle juice, milk and soup cartons and other paper-based containers that have a thin, shiny plastic coating, often referred to as aseptic or peaked boxes.
The Carton Council is a nonprofit collaborative of carton manufacturers in the United States aiming to increase recycling of those containers.
Paul Hernandez, a consultant with the council, said the outreach will involve a combination of paid advertising, public-service announcements and automated calls.
"Consistently, we've found that the level of recycling cartons increases after we do one of these campaigns," he said. "We've found people respond to it and the numbers go up."
Cartons have been accepted as part of the recycling program since 2011, when Rumpke and the council spent $500,000 on sorting equipment at Rumpke's North Side facility.
However, many residents might not be aware the cartons are made of recyclable material, said Jonathan Kissell, spokesman for Rumpke, a residential and commercial waste and recycling firm.
The city launched RecyColumbus last June and implemented the fifth and final phase May 3, 2013.
The rollout was virtually seamless, but hit a snag last year in German Village, where residents complained they had no room for the blue 60-gallon containers.
Although they clamored for smaller bins, the city would not make an exception. The controversy has seemed to have died down and residents have accepted the carts, said Bill Case, president of the German Village Society Board of Trustees.
"The revised recycling program introduced by the city in 2012 has generally been well-received by German Village residents," Case said.
"Most residents use the city's recycling service and feel good about its positive environmental impact," he said.
"Once residents became accustomed to how the service works, complaints we are aware of have been few."
The city conducted a survey April 8-12 and found 74 percent of eligible homes had joined the recycling campaign.
City officials had no specific participation in mind, but are pleased with the involvement, which is higher than cities of comparable size, Miller said.
"I think our residents are really excited about the program and are really excited to have recycling at home," she said.
Some have complained that there's not enough room in their carts for all of the household recycling.
Residents can do their part by collapsing boxes and cartons and crushing cans to make more room in their 60-gallon carts.
So far, 287 residents have purchased an extra cart for $40, which includes home delivery.

What are the pros? nice looking before the bugs
What are the cons? bugs devoured it
I planted this in the spring and while the outer leaves got very big, they were attacked by bugs and I wasn't able to get heads. I will try again in the fall.

What are the pros? Beautiful, easy, hardy
What are the cons? None
This is my favorite cabbage. It was pretty enough to plant among flowers. To see it twinkle with dew or rain in its tiny krinkles is a sight to behold. Easy to grow, makes wonderful gifts. Love, love love.

What are the pros? Great taste and pretty leaves.
What are the cons? Small heads (my fault)
I am NOT an experienced gardener but I put a bunch of plants in the ground to see what they'd do. I had some rat tail radishes in one row and they had a nice and cool little space under their branches that I nestled these cabbage seedlings into in mid summer. They were pretty shaded most of the time but when fall rolled around and temps cooled off they started growing bigger, no head at this time. I cleaned up the garden in late fall and the radishes were pulled but I left the cabbage just to see what they would do. In December after a few snow falls and melts these plants looked dead but I checked them one last time. They had softball sized heads tucked into their dead leaves. I chopped em up, cooked them with some garlic...BESTEST CABBAGES EVEAH! They had a sweet & complex flavor. Kids devoured it all! I got these from barley amended clay soil. No fertilizer and no mulches, only drip irrigation. This year I'm planting more and making the soil better but I'll let them freeze up again.

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
This is the first cabbage I've grown. I admit that I was silly enough to think of cabbage as a relatively bland plant that probably wouldn't taste much different when plucked from my garden than it did when bought from the grocery store. WOW, is there a difference! This is absolutely delicious cabbage that had me scouring the garden to devour every leaf. It's forgiving, too. I'm new to year-round gardening in San Jose, and I put the seeds into the ground in mid-November. I still got beautiful, big heads of cabbage in the spring. It likes its water and didn't do as well in drip-irrigated plots, but even the smaller heads were jewels in flavor.
