Well, It's been about a month since I last posted. For the first two weeks I was cruising in Central and South America, then worked for a week, and now back at school for a week. So overall it was a great break, going to Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Aruba, and Jamaica with the family. Fun times, without email or osama bin laden. Met some cool people on the cruise too, and been keeping in touch.
CoreFoundation is working well on Win32 now. CFSockets are fully functional, and CFRunLoops work, though I still need to go back and add in support for CFRunLoopTimers. Last night I decided to try CF out on a Linux box for fun, and after a little bit of work it was mostly working. I put in some CFRunLoop support using pthreads condition variables. So it's essentially working, but I havent' yet found a suitable Linux API for implementing CFRunLoopTimers.
Also been working quite a bit on SystemStarter, and making some good progress. Now items can display messages onscreen using an IPC call. Items can also signal whether they succeed or fail. Also they can get the value of configuration setting from SystemStarter (i.e. ask if it's a verbose or safe boot.) Lots of nifty features.

DOE-Funded Research Projects Win 36 R&D 100 Awards for 2004
, DC – Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham today announced that researchers at Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories and companies with research funded by DOE have won 36 of the 100 awards given this year by R&D Magazine for the most outstanding technology developments with commercial potential.
The R&D 100 Awards recognize the most promising new products, processes, materials, or software developed throughout the world and introduced to the market the previous year. Awards are based on each achievement's technical significance, uniqueness and usefulness compared to competing projects and technologies.
"Investments in basic research at the Department of Energy's national laboratories historically have produced not only great science but also significant innovation and invention with promising commercial applications," said Secretary Abraham. "The DOE-funded researchers honored with 2004 R&D 100 Awards deserve great credit for carrying on this outstanding tradition, which has contributed substantially to our Nation's economic development."
The DOE researchers winning the highly prestigious 2004 R&D 100 Awards work in 11 of the department's laboratories across the country. Eleven of the awards are shared with businesses and universities. Five of the awards are for research at companies or universities funded by DOE.
The winning technologies advance the department's national security, energy security, environmental restoration and science missions. They will lead to new or enhanced tools for national and homeland security, yield significant energy savings, enable development of new energy sources, help mitigate environmental impacts of certain chemicals and processes and provide scientists with innovative or improved research capabilities.
The award-winning technologies and products were selected by the editors of R&D Magazine and a panel of some 60 outside experts. Widely recognized in industry, government, and academia as a mark of excellence for the most innovative ideas of the year, the R&D 100 Awards are the only industry-wide competition rewarding the practical applications of science.
Since the R&D Magazine annual competition began in 1962, DOE and its national laboratories have won 669 R&D 100s.
The complete list of 2004 R&D 100 Awards appears in the September 2004 issue R&D Magazine (at http://www.rdmag.com/). The winners will be recognized at R&D Magazine's 42nd annual awards banquet to be held on October 14, 2004, in Chicago, where the magazine is based.

Councils should be given greater powers to create designated streets that favour cyclists over cars, a national inquiry has concluded.
'Active communities: cycling to a better quality of life' is the report of an inquiry held by the Local Government Information Unit (LGiU) and Cycling England.
This report has found that transport regulations should be reviewed to give councils greater control over cycling routes to get more people out of their cars and onto their bikes.
Councils would be able to design the street to favour cyclists while also making it accessible for cars and pedestrians.
For every car driver converted to a bike, the UK economy saves around £400 a year through reduced medical bills, congestion and pollution, according to research conducted by Cycling England.
The inquiry report - downloadable as a PDF here - also calls for every public building to be an exemplar to encourage cycling, for example by implementing storage facilities and bike loan schemes.
LGiU Centre for Local Sustainability policy analyst Gemma Roberts said: "Councils should be given greater control over cycling routes to ensure more roads are made cycle friendly. We need to make it easier and safer for people to cycle.
"Local authorities need to take the lead and make cycling a priority in their communities," she said.
"But the efforts to promote cycling do not stop with the council. We also need the professional and political backing to invest more heavily in cycling so we can really tackle some of the wider issues communities face, such as obesity, climate change and congestion."

This is such a great idea. Cyclists should be appreciated for their environmental and health contributions!

Yes please! I'd like to see more bike / pedestrian permeable streets as a way to let people know that all those 2 mile round trips by car could actually be achieved through other means.

I picked up Snarl & Sideways last night, but I am tired today so I will curb my major comments till later.
Snarl is good but has super weak colors and his gimmick doesn't stay open, you have to hold the key in place for the mouth to stay open which totally sucks. Transformation is pretty clever, I like the weapon but not the missile, and the articulation is good but the arm should have rotated just above the bicep instead of only below it.
Sideways is really cool, he's so much like the prototypes it's almost weird. Both modes are good and his transformation is cool, he's well-articulated and has decent weaponry. I only wish the orange was red, this looks like a bit like halloween on Cybertron. I am very pleased with this figure, almost the same level as Red Alert which is my best friend after all.
Good find, that makes it a little better, but I suspect this trick isn't intentional and may not hold up over time.Originally Posted by Adam

By Holbrook Mohr/The Associated Press
JACKSON — A winter storm brought icy roads and power outages to parts of Mississippi on Monday and forecasters say that more freezing rain and sleet could hit the same areas Tuesday.
An ice storm warning has been extended through 6 p.m. Tuesday for the Mississippi Delta.
More than three dozen counties have reported accumulations of ice in places or other problems related to the storm, with numerous counties reporting ice on bridges and roads.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said there were more than 400 power outages in Anguilla in Sharkey County and a possible tornado destroyed two houses and damaged four others in Wayne County on Sunday night.
There were reports of numerous car wrecks Monday in Panola County related to the weather.
Anna Weber, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson, said the Mississippi Delta has seen the worst icing conditions but there also have been reports of accumulations as far south as Vicksburg and northern Hinds County.
Weber said there could be light freezing rain in the area overnight with the possibility of more freezing rain and sleet on Tuesday when heavier precipitation is expected.
Some parts of the state that weren't threatened by icy conditions were under flood warnings or flash flood warnings on Monday.
Mark McConnell, MDOT's chief engineer, said Monday that crews have been treating iced bridges.
As a precaution, he said crews also prepared the U.S. 82 bridge over the Mississippi River at Greenville and the bridges at the intersection of interstates 20 and 55 in Jackson.
The Mississippi Department of Education website listed more than two dozen districts that closed schools Monday and some could remain closed on Tuesday.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation said ice accumulated Monday on roads and bridges in Alcorn, DeSoto, Lafayette, Leflore, Marshall, Quitman, Tallahatchie, Tippah and Yalobusha counties.
Warren Strain, spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, urged motorists to stay off the roads if possible and use "extreme caution" on bridges and overpasses if they must travel.

Looks alright, although the lack of detailed weathering-style paint for the forearms and lower legs really stands out compared to the head.
Have you compared him yet to the Hasbro figure?
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Yes I have, JT.
First off...I don't know if photos really capture the weathering and paint apps as well as they could. It's actually very well done and looks good "in hand".
Now, indulge me here...I can't explain why, but Bossk has always been one of my SW favorites...I just think he's pretty cool. I've collected quite a number of different "Bossk" related things over the years, so I was pretty excited at the prospect of adding another lizard to the collection....so I'm gonna go on a bit here...
As for comparisons to the Hasbro version...well, that version of Bossk is one of my favorite Hasbro SW 12" figures ever...it's always been on display in my collection and has stood alongside the "higher end" figures without looking odd or cheap....
So when I first saw pictures of the Sideshow version, I was uncertain if they were producing something that was going to "replace" that Hasbro version and be a significant upgrade for that character. Well, after having this new version for a few days and really getting a good look at it, I can say "yes"...it is an improvement in many ways. It's great having a more articulated base body...it allows for some more expressive, "natural" poses...always a good thing.
The cut-n-sew here is exceptional...it's not only highly detailed and well-made, it actually has more to it than meets the eye to achieve a good fit on the base body...there is an "undersuit" (almost like long underwear...at least partially so) underneath the flight suit that helps prevent the suit from showing off the sockets and joints of the base body without limiting movement...it's an extra layer that really helps the appearance of the outfit on the figure. They also featured some great mixed media to help accesorize the suit...real wire and metal fittings, rubber tubing, plastic gaskets and rings and a good variety of fabric that work well visually together with textures that don't betray scale. The whole figure has some heft to it...a little bit of weight...more than the average figure.
The one thing about the limbs I was concerned about turned into a plus....and that's the break-points on the wrists and ankles, After years of having this character''s sixth-scale figure feature solid arms and legs (and looking great), I thought having these "breaks" in the lines on he limbs would be visually distracting,,,but they really aren't....especially when those breaks allow for "alternate" claw-hands and feet that give even more display opportunities...and that extra cool detail of featuring separate pieces for the claws...it just adds to the look in a great way that just having them painted would not.
The extra head is a fun bonus...and I'll feature some shots using it later...but I really like the "classic" look that the regular portrait features.
My only little gripe with this release is I wish Sideshow had included the deluxe stand (the ESB-inspired light-up one) that the other two ESB Bounty Hunters featured...or at least a "themed" stand like the one the Fett has (could've been gold and emblazoned with the logo featured on his arm patch)...but that doesn't detracted from how terrific and well-done this figure is for me...it just would've been nice.
Now...am I getting rid of my Hasbro Bossk? No way...that figure still looks great on display and holds a special spot in my complete SW collection...but Sideshow's new "upgrade" is a worthy effort...a great addition to the my "Bossk" collection...
Here's some more shots...
With a metal friend...
...and joined by one of the most infamous Bounty Hunters of all...
Sure hope Sideshow tackles some more Bounty Hunters...they look pretty awesome displayed together!
Thanks for the detailed thoughts, and more pics.
Bossk is a standout character for a lot of OT fans, he resonates without having to do much, Boba Fett is largely the same so I think it's the same sort of draw, just that Bossk is more underground since he plays a smaller role.
I'm not seeing the cut & sew in photos the way it describes, every time I see it the stitching stands out like a sore thumb and kills scale, both on the flight suit and especially on the vest. I do see a lot of mixed media in your shots though, that looks really good. In comparing that to shots of Hasbro's version, the mixed media and the vest fall vastly short of the Sideshow.
The paint "weathering" on the head in your shots looks really good, super nuanced and organic, while on the arms it's far simpler.
NO DELUXE STAND for this price? Are they nuts?!?
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Yeah, it's too bad about the stand...a lot of folks are resorting to ebay to get one and that's a big "no thanks" for me...not gonna spend any more than I already have for this figure.
Glad I got him though...I'm gonna enjoy returning to this one now and again for more pictures....
Here's another shot of Bossk inspired by Hasbro's "unleashed" figure from a while back....
Yeah, extra cash to get that stand is extra crazy.
Ha, nice Unleashed shot, great job. This head seems more over the top than that nleashed statue, does it work in person?

New 50gal/200litre Tank setup
Hi I am extremely new to aquariums aquascaping etc. I have setup my tank with some riccia carpetting grass and some java moss on some of my rocks and later maybe add a couple of java ferns. No C02 Currently but I use excel flourish and if the riccia dies I will purchase a co2 kit. Also have a large Airstone about half the length of the tank sitting in the middle at the back behind the rocks.
Going to be a tropical tank sitting at 25-27 degrees C and its currently just filtering and aerating for the week till i go get a couple of fish to start the cycling process.
I plan on having the following fish.
1x Silver shark
1x Gourami
20x Neon Tetras
Thats my start list I have plenty of rocks/hiding places where the smaller fish can hide if needed. I am aware that silver shark and gourami tend to eat the smaller fish but have read a few things where people have successfully kept them together just put the bigger fish in very young. Similar to how you keep cats/dogs together I guess.
Will probably look to add a couple more smaller fish after cycling.
I intend on starting the cycling with the 20x Neon tetras cause I believe if i start with the silver shark which is fairly hardy Im inclined to believe it will think any tetras added later will be food.
Any thoughts and recommendations from experienced aquarists would be very welcomed as I'm pretty much just going on reading material.
I have found that completing a fishless cycle is a lot easier and quicker than cycling with fish. There is a link below in my sig to a thread here that explains the process. I would suggest considering a fishless cycle to make things a little easier for you
Neon tetras are not the best fish to cycle a tank withIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I have a smaller 10 gallon tank which I will be using the squeezed filter water to assist with the kick off for this bigger tank. There is 10 Neon tetras in this smaller tank that were used to cycle it none died so I was just gonna stick to what worked for me.
More concerned about other things I might not know or be aware of Will add a photo in a little bit of the start of the tank.

I used to use a standing hen decoy that seemed to scare away the toms. Maybe because the decoy had it's head straight up like it was alerted to something. I switched to a feeding hen decoy and found it to work out better for me.
Good Luck!

Okay, first off the 25th Anniversary and upcoming Bespin versions of Vader are nice and all; but they are essentially just more preposed statues, Hasbro.
What I am proposing here is to make one final, ultimate, no holds barred version of Darth Vader. The features should include:
Double cloth capes (stitched around the edges so they don't fray, I'm thinking along the lines of the POTJ Lando cape)
2-piece removable helmet (don't skimp on the details, the E2 preview figures show you can do it) Realscan the actual helmet prop for ultimate accuracy.
removable hand
ball-socket shoulders
metal lightsaber hilt with the cool new E2 blade style (he should also have a magnet in his belt to "clip" his lightsaber onto when not in use; leave the magnets out of his hands please)
at least 12 points of articulation (neck, shoulders, swivelling upper arms, twisting wrists, waist, hips and knees) Maybe make the knees like the Rebel Fleet Trooper, which would have to include swivelling feet too.
a base with a voice chip to include EVERY line he spoke in the film (not as much as it seems), a "breathing" switch that will keep on making the breathing sound until you switch it off, or the batteries die, AND the entire Imperial March theme.
If you guys at Hasbro come up with any other cool features then great, as long as it doesn't include E2 style action features or anything that would compromise the sculpt IN ANY WAY.
Lastly, these are features we should have been getting all along, thus the price of the figure should not exceed $10.
If you make this figure, Hasbro, then you will be completely vindicated in my eyes and I will be able to die a happy man.
I know the title of this thread specifies Vader; but if anyone can come up with Final versions of any other characters feel free to list them here. Or if there is a must-have feature I left off of Vader then let me know.

Did you know that 40 million American adults live with anxiety disorders each year?
18% of American adults are affected by an anxiety disorder such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and specific phobias each year. Tweet >
Anxiety disorders can become so severe that normal life and relationships become impaired. There are many types of anxiety disorders with their own unique sets of symptoms. Some of these disorders include panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social phobia (or social anxiety disorder), specific phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is an exaggerated anxiety and tension that persists for months on end and affects approximately 6.8 million Americans. GAD causes people to anticipate catastrophe and worry excessively about many things, from overarching concerns such as health, money or work to more routine concerns such as car repairs or appointments. Worries can be accompanied by physical symptoms, such as fatigue, headaches, muscle tension and aches, difficulty swallowing, trembling, twitching, irritability, sweating, and hot flashes. The disorder usually develops gradually and may begin anytime during life, although the risk is highest between childhood and middle age.

Family: Clupeidae, Herrings view all from this family
Description The American shad or Atlantic shad, Alosa sapidissima, is a species of anadromous fish in family Clupeidae of order Clupeiformes. It is not closely related to the other North American shads. Rather, it seems to form a lineage that diverged from a common ancestor of the European taxa before these diversified (Faria et al. 2006).
The shad spends most of its life at sea, but swims up fresh rivers to spawn. The fish survive breeding and can return to the sea; they do not inhabit fresh water except to spawn. At sea, shad are schooling fish; thousands are often seen at the surface in spring, summer, and autumn. They are hard to find in the winter, as they tend to go deeper before spawning season; they have been pulled up in nets as deep as 65 fathoms (119 m).
Like other herrings, the American Shad is primarily a plankton feeder, but will eat small shrimp and fish eggs. Occasionally they eat small fish, but these are only a minor item in their general diet.
Dimensions Up to 30" (76 cm); 9 1/4 lbs (4.2 kg).
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Lakes & ponds, Ocean or bay shallows, Rivers & streams, Tidepools.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska.

When HurricaneKatrina struck New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun - a prosperous Syrian-American and father of four - chose to stay through the storm to protect his house and contracting business. In the eerie days after the storm, he traveled the flooded streets in a secondhand canoe, passing on supplies and rescuing those he could. A week later, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared.
Eggers's riveting work, three years in the making, follows Zeitoun back to his childhood in Syria and around the world during his years as a sailor. The book also traces the story of Zeitoun's wife Kathy - a boisterous Southerner who converted to Islam - and their wonderful, funny, devoted family. When Zeitoun vanishes, Kathy is left to make sense of the surreal atmosphere (in New Orleans and the United States generally) in which what happened to Abdulrahman Zeitoun was possible.
©2009 Dave Eggers; (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC
"Imagine Charles Dickens, his sentimentality in check but his journalistic eyes wide open, roaming New Orleans after it was buried by Hurricane Katrina ... Eggers's tone is pitch-perfect - suspense blended with just enough information to stoke reader outrage and what is likely to be a typical response: How could this happen in America?" (Timothy Egan, The New York Times)
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Something bold, ebullient, yet quiet"
There is something bold and yet quiet about 'Zeitoun' the book and Zeitoun the man. There is also something bold about Dave Eggers. I don't always like the flashier parts of Eggers. The sparkle and the shake of 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius' or the fur-covered binding of 'The Wild Things' didn't really capture me like they did some. But after reading 'A Hologram for the King' I've started recognizing it for what it is -- David Eggers is simply enthusiastic, ebullient about ideas and people. He can't help himself. He has an idea and he wants it big or bigger. He wants Zeitoun's story written across the sky. For most of us the wish or desire is enough. It fills us up. We are done there and can go to bed and rest comfortably. The brilliance of the idea quickly gets burned out as the sun of the rest of our lives burns our dreams away. The brilliance (or genius) of David Eggers is his ability to follow up on these quirky little ideas. He has tremendous follow-through. He doesn't forget, he doesn't dispose, he uses and crafts and makes and publishes.
Not every book written by Eggers will be genius, but his ENERGY is always genius. His momentum is always brilliant. And, 'Zeitoun' the book was brilliant. It showed the beauty of people and the inhumanity of bureaucracies. It is the story of America. How America can contain both the best and the worst of humanity, often lit by the same light and drowned/baptized by the same waters.
"Excellent Story of Government Failure in Katrina"
Eggers is an excellent teller of other people's stories, as illustrated by his brilliant "What is the What," the story of Sudanese refugee Valentino Achak Deng. In Zeitoun, he tells the story of a Syrian-American, a successful New Orleans contracter for years, who is wrongfully imprisoned by FEMA in the wake of Katrina. The contrast between the warmth, vitality and manifest goodness of the Zeitoun family, and the impersonal brutality and incompetence of the "military occupation" authorities who took over New Orleans is striking and sobering. A "must listen," even if "What is the What" is a richer story and slightly better narrated.
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving or riding my bike.
"Compelling event, plodding delivery"
This is two books in one. The first is a mildly interesting study of the life of Zeitoun, a Syrian/American who marries an American woman who has converted to Islam. They work hard, overcome a lot of common obstacles and make a good life for themselves and their children. They live in New Orleans and get blindsided by Katrina just like hundreds of thousands of others. This book includes enough engaging biographical material for a nice feature story in a magazine.
The second book is the compelling story of Zeitoun's harrowing experience when he stays in New Orleans to protect his property and lend a helping hand to others. The meat of this narrative begins about two thirds of the way through the book and progresses through a lot of day by day detail which is chilling and sometimes appalling. Finally there is a kind of prolonged post-mortem.
Unlike the other reviewers, I thought the material, which is very powerful, was poorly served by the story telling. I understand that it was important to introduce Zeitoun and his wife and establish them as people we cared about, but this was done with so many mundane details and somewhat jumbled flashbacks that I nearly gave up before I got to the point of the story. Clearly the other reviewers did not have the same problem, so it may just be that I don't enjoy discursive writing.
I also found the vocal narration plodding and uninspired.
Nonetheless, I am glad I stuck with the book until I got to the story at the heart of the piece. It is an authentic, "How could this happen in America," story.
"when one asks what happened during katrina..."
there are many stories that one could use and amplify to help tell the story of katrina, but the zeitoun family's story is one that will be shared for generations. eggers does a wonderful job weaving family history, a host of interviews and perspectives in this fantastic book. the narrator was good, and not distracting. i highly encourage you to spend your time with the zeitoun family.
"Food for thought"
Well, after I read it, I definitely would have. But I have since read that the main character was arrested for beating his wife, and I wonder if the whole story was a sham.
Regardless of whether the main character was accurately portrayed, the story made me realize how vital our legal intrastructure is, and how we have to have emergency preparedness to make sure people's rights are respected during disasters.
"A pleasant surprise"
I was hesitant to read this because I thought it might be another depressing story about Hurricane Katrina. While it has its depressing aspects, the characters are so well-developed, I felt as if I knew them. There are many more twists and turns that push Katrina into the background. Katrina was merely the catalyst for the calamities that resulted in the lives of Zeitoun and his family. I enjoyed this book very much and only reserve 5 stars for "Absolute Favorites" so 4 stars is a Winner.
"terrific book about a stunning failure"
Difficult to believe what happened here could actually happen in America. Nonetheless, Eggers tells a very descriptive story about how one man got caught in a vortex of bureaucratic incompetence in the weeks after Katrina.
"Self Absorbed"
This story was an interesting window into what happened to someone who stayed in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. It gives the reader a first hand perspective; it was an educational look into the corruption in this city. But, the main character and family were not easy to like. Finding out that the couple was in the court system for domestic abuse after this story was written made me question credibility of the musings of the characters. If you're going to spend time listening to someone's memoir, why not listen to one that elevates? This one was a downer.
No. I did not find this story enjoyable.
He was slow ... and seemed to emphasize with an agenda in mind.
Disappointment. I would not have completed this were it not the topic of my next book club meeting.
"A Glimpse Into Another World"
I listened to this book quite a while ago, and loved it. I was surprised to see reviews complaining that there were too many unnecessary details. I felt this was a bit like saying there were too many notes in a symphony.
I liked the book because it was essentially the story about people I don't know and don't see in America. It was compelling because it is the story of a woman to converted to Islam on her on accord and then later met and married an Islamic man. These are people I would never meet except through a book like this. I didn't find the story of their lives at all boring. Perhaps it is because I am a woman. Women and families are as interesting to me as big events and crisis.
Then there is the horror of Katrina and Zeitoun's disappearance. I did not know things like this happened during Katrina. I did not know that American citizens could be subjected to this treatment. What was inspiring to me was Zeitoun's wife. Her love, her determination, her refusal to be passive inspired me.
This is a good book. It's on sale right now. Buy it!
"Fabulous Reading"
The audio edition is performed by a man who has excellent pronunciation of the Arabic names and words, and has a musical voice. Wonderfully story-telling voice.
Zeitoun and his wife are the main characters, and they are noble and good and stout-of-heart. You follow Zeitoun from the bliss of his freedom to the frustratingly illogical imprisonment; he is always a sympathetic character. The story made this listener angry at the injustice and ignorance on display in the aftermath of Katrina's destruction of New Orleans.
His clear well-accented pronunciation and his musical voice. He is excellent at portraying all the different men's voices, and very good with the women's voices. Firdous Bamji has story-telling magic in his voice - I could listen (and did) for hours.
"Interesting and horrifying"
This is a good book, which tells the terrible story of how this poor man was treated by the US authorities. It is also a rather telling account of how said authorities dealt with the aftermath of Katrina. It was mostly a good read, but it left me annoyed, frustrated and quite horrified.
"Author of misfortune"
Although I am by no means a supporter of the George W Bush administration, a natural lefty and, in American terms, a Democrat - this supposed frontal assault on red-neck, jingoistic, Republicanism literally in the wake of Hurricane Katrina seems to end up scoring more own goals than home runs. Despite repeated instructions on the part of the authorities to leave New Orleans the supposed 'hero' of the book chose of his own free will to stay in town and look after his property. Those 'oppressing' Police, National Guards and Civil Authorities were then obliged to put their own lives in peril by being obliged to go into the city to effect 'rescues,' in the process running the risk of natural dangers and those from the albeit very small number of criminals who used the opportunity to loot their way through the wreckage. His wife in the meantime, faced with the fact that while she chooses to make a visible and daily symbol of her devotion to an all-loving God but cannot stand to be in the same house as her mother and immediate family even for a few days in a time of crisis, decamps over 1,000 miles away.At worst American society can display all that is deplorable in human nature - racism, paranoia and a total disregard for personal liberty when it gets in the way of the perceived 'greater good.' Here, however, a total disregard for the safety of others, the needs of the wider family members, a delusion of persecution and unwarranted self-importance are all on display and, unfortunately, whilst one finger points forward, there are three fingers pointing back to the accuser.

This is the last in a series on retrofitting metro Detroit for urbanism. Also see the first, second, and third.
When people think of Metro Detroit, the images that come to mind are of urban decay on the one hand and sprawl on the other. But the makings of a great city–one with walkable neighborhoods and lively streets–are hidden here in plain sight. From the skyscrapers of downtown Detroit to the busy main streets of suburbs like Ferndale and Royal Oak, the building blocks are in place for a truly regional "city" that transcends conventional boundaries.
For more than a decade now, urban life has been making a comeback in Metro Detroit. You can see it along the Riverwalk downtown. You can see it on Vernor Avenue. You can see it on Cass. You can see it on Nine Mile in Ferndale and Main Street in Royal Oak. People are out walking the streets, eating in sidewalk cafes, shopping, and going to work. They're moving into lofts and riding their bikes more, enjoying these pockets of urban renaissance.
Unfortunately, these pockets have remained just that–isolated pockets that don't add up to a greater whole. But with the addition of rapid transit, we could go from a simulacrum of urban life to the real thing, creating several corridors of urban development that bridge the city/suburban divide and make urban living a safe, attractive, and affordable option for all those who desire it.
While several corridors have tremendous potential–Michigan Avenue out to Dearborn and Jefferson Avenue out to the Pointes both come to mind–the most promising is the Woodward Corridor from downtown to Birmingham. Rapid transit down the length of Woodward would connect a long line of historic, walkable neighborhoods together, from Boston Edison to Berkley. It would also connect major hospitals, several dozen cultural institutions, and hundreds of thousands of people. While the corridor wouldn't become "urban" overnight, it would immediately boost the areas that are already urbanizing, like Midtown and downtown Ferndale, and create the opportunity for other communities to pursue similar redevelopment.
If fully realized, an urbanized Woodward corridor could realign our region in several fundamental ways. First, it could make living without a car an attractive option again. Since the 1950s, when the streetcars stopped running, it has been difficult to find work, get to school, or grocery shop without a car. But if transit were rapid and efficient on Woodward (with ample bus connections to nearby communities), you could easily, say, live in Ferndale, take classes at Wayne, and work at Beaumont. Or live in Boston Edison, work in an office downtown, and go out for the night in Royal Oak. All without ever using a car.
Second, it will make tourists easier to attract. If you visit our tourism website today, you'll see how hard it struggles to define the region, drawing as much attention to "North Oakland" and "Macomb" as Downtown Detroit. The Woodward Corridor will be far easier to market to out of town visitors because it will span city and suburb and connect most of our major attractions together. Visitors could walk the riverfront, take an architecture tour downtown, see museums in Midtown, spend an afternoon at the Detroit Zoo, and go out to eat in Ferndale, Royal Oak, or Birmingham — all without worrying about parking or directions.
Third, it will create a meaningful and lasting linkage between Detroit and its suburbs that will help foster regional planning and development. Beginning with a regional transit authority, rapid transit on Woodward could be the catalyst Metro Detroit needs to start thinking and acting like a region. A continuous stretch of urban development from Detroit to its suburbs could help disabuse people of the notion that the suburbs can survive without the city or vice versa. We're one region, and we rise or sink together. Woodward could be the focal point that makes that argument obvious and fosters regional pride.
Obviously, none of this is preordained. It's not assured yet that Metro Detroit will even build a regional rail system, and if it does build one, whether it will be fast and effective enough to spark development. Nor is it clear how receptive the different communities along the path will be to a more concerted effort at urbanization. Lingering racial and political fears, too, could prevent the kind of cooperation needed to spark corridor-wide redevelopment. But this is the best case scenario we should be striving for–a world class "city" in Metro Detroit spanning both Detroit proper and its suburbs, starting with Woodward Avenue and spreading to the other spokes in years to come.

chinese ivy choking plants. Where to fasten?
Hey guys, I have what I think is chinese ivy. Cardomine Lyrata off the top of my head... honestly have no idea.
It grows REALLY fast, so fast in fact that from a top down view, it's taken up almost a half of the surface. Everything under that is being choked and so I had to recently move it all to the foreground to get some light.
Each 'vine' has its own roots and it's made me wonder if I could have it as a ground creeper (is that the right terminology?). The issue is, how would I keep the plants down?
I have a sand substrate so I was thinking of using thick gauge fishing line and simply bend it over the vine and push it into the sand. An issue I can see is the fishing line becoming dislodged and getting stuck in a filter or even a fish!
Could I tie it to some sort of mesh? Am I able to put 'anything' into the water? As in plastics, metal etc
My final goal is to have the vines creeping along the ground so that I can space the plants out better.
If the plant floats, then likely not. Many of the floaters do well because their roots are in the water but the top of the plant is out of the water near the light. To completely submerse them would kill them. Thin them out if their are too many of them. That's what happens when tanks get overgrown just as we have to trim back out houseplants when they get overgrown?
Chinese Ivy is a houseplant so likely is something different. If you can get a photo of them, you may be able to sell some, as well, in our classified section.

Asian stock markets were mixed Tuesday, with sharp falls in property developers pulling down stocks in Shanghai, while Australia ended at a fresh multi-year high despite mixed earnings.
The largest move on Tuesday was in mainland China, where the Shanghai Composite lost 1.6% to close at 2382.91 on fears the government could take action to rein in a rebound in property prices over the coming weeks. Property and construction companies experienced heavy declines: developer Gemdale Corp. fell 7.9% and Poly Real Estate Group slumped 5.1%, while Anhui Chaodong Cement Co. lost 9.9%.
Weakness in mainland China weighed on Hong Kong, where the Hang Seng Index lost 1% to 23143.91.
More broadly, with U.S. markets closed on Monday for a public holiday, there were no strong overnight leads to give the region direction. Instead, investors were looking ahead to potential risk events on the horizon—including elections in Italy to be held on February 24 and 25, as well as the question of who will be the next Bank of Japan governor, which could prove to be a major catalyst for the yen's movements.
On Tuesday, the yen was pushed higher by comments from Finance Minister Taro Aso who said that Japan was not thinking about foreign bond purchases or changing the law governing the Bank of Japan.
Mr. Aso's comments came after Monday's remarks by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who said that if the Bank of Japan fails to meet its new 2% inflation target, it would be a condition for changing the law governing the central bank.
Furthermore, investors also mulled over the minutes from the Bank of Japan's January policy meeting, which revealed that some of the central bank's board members said buying longer-term Japanese government bonds could be considered as part of its monetary easing strategy to tackle deflation.
The U.S. dollar was at ¥93.43 late Tuesday in Asia compared with ¥93.97 late Monday.
The stronger yen put pressure on Japanese stocks as did profit-taking following Monday's sharp rise, with the Nikkei Stock Average down 0.3% at 11372.34.
In Tokyo, Bridgestone Corp. climbed 10.4% after the tire company reported that it expects net profit to increase by 37% to a record ¥235 billion in 2013, higher than consensus estimates for a ¥204 billion profit. The firm noted that the weaker yen has helped profitability.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.4% to 5081.90—the index's highest level since September 2008.
The Reserve Bank of Australia, which in the minutes for its February meeting said that tame inflation gave policymakers room to ease further. The Australia dollar moved higher to US$1.0333.
The local market was also digesting a mixed bag of earnings. On the positive side, radio and television broadcaster Southern Cross Media Group climbed 9.8% and Coca-Cola Amatil gained 2% after releasing their latest earnings results.
Some earnings reports failed to excite the market, with engineering and construction company Transfield Services losing 4.8%, while Mount Gibson Iron dropped 3.9%.
South Korea's Kospi Composite was up 0.2% to 1985.83.

Center for Conflict Resolution
Loyola's Center for Conflict Resolution (CCR) provides mediation and facilitation to people seeking to solve a dispute with the help of a neutral mediator. To date the clinic has served almost 40,000 clients since its doors opened in 1993. Students handle a variety of cases which expose them to many areas of law including landlord-tenant disputes, debt collections, civil harassment, employment, property and family law. But above all else, the communication skills acquired through conflict resolution will become a vital asset in their careers as attorneys.
Students in the clinic learn valuable skills that can cross over into any professional environment. Assistant Director and alumna Mary Britt explains, "The center teaches students to be neutrals, which allows them to dispassionately see all sides of the conflict. The neutrality experience students gain at the center will serve them well in objectively analyzing both sides of a case, as well as gauging their opponents' goals and developing negotiation strategies to further their own client's interests." Case management is also crucial to the job as each student is responsible for 10-20 cases at once. Issues must be addressed in a timely fashion and durable agreements must be met.
Here is one such success story in which two conflicting parties came to an agreement with the help of a student mediator in the clinic. Parents who had been separated for years were at odds over where their daughter should attend high school. After many arguments between the parents, a student in the clinic convinced them to try mediation. What was at first one four hour session turned into two sessions that lasted a total of 12 hours. Through active listening and a rational viewpoint, the student was able to look at the conflict from every angle and reach an agreement that satisfied everyone. Their daughter would attend one school for a "probationary year," and once a month the parents would discuss her progress before coming to final conclusion at the end of the school year.
The CCR has made great advancements to accommodate the growing number of clients and student externs. The center recently moved into the new Downtown Public Interest Law Center, located in the heart of Los Angeles. It is one of three Loyola Law School clinics housed at the Law School's 800 S. Figueroa location and Loyola student externs handle most of the casework that comes their way. In an effort to serve every person who seeks aid, the CCR offers all services in Spanish and can call upon resources in several other languages as well.
The clinic prides itself for reaching out to those who are underrepresented in the justice system like the elderly, disabled and veterans. Their dedication has not gone unnoticed; the CCR was awarded the "Outstanding Mediation Case Award" from Los Angeles County for its resolution of a consumer-debt dispute involving $55,000 in medical bills. It's the appreciation and exclamations of joy that they receive on a daily basis from grateful clients that truly makes it all worthwhile.

compile-time type safety is pretty irrelevant to Lisp, being really a concept from the batch-language world, where the compilers routinely deny your programs the knoledge they have about them. I'd say compile-time type safety is important where types themselves are predominantly a compile-time concept. moreover, the term "compile time" is itself less useful in Lisp than it may seem.
anyway, I hope the snippet I gave was helpful.

ENTERPRISE – Pine Grove has a new coach, offensive strategy and defensive scheme. One thing, however, remains the same – the play of Bryana Davis.
The senior point guard scored 20 points Thursday night to lead the Lady Panthers to their second win of the young season, a 58-36 decision against West Union.
"She has to be the floor general," first-year Pine Grove coach Chris Parman said of his shooting star. "She's played well and she hasn't been 100 percent. She's been under the weather."
Parham has convinced Davis to trust her teammates, which has helped her game.
"She doesn't feel like she has to do everything," he said. "She knows people will be geared to stop her. She's learning to find the open person. Her teammates are playing at a higher level."
Davis says she's playing a lot more relaxed this season.
"He's talked to me about having more confidence in my teammates … I do," she said. "I know I'm going to have to put up points, but I'm not putting as much pressure on myself."
Davis scored on two layups and sank a 3-pointer in the first quarter of Thursday's game, but her team trailed West Union 12-11.
The second quarter was a different story. Davis opened it with a pull-up jumper in the lane. Moments later the Lady Panthers went on a 16-0 run to cruise to a 29-14 halftime lead.
Anna Dixon and Chloe Bailey, who finished with 10 points, hit 3-pointers during Pine Grove's run. The Lady Panthers (2-1) also got two field goals and two blocked shots from 6-foot sophomore Aliyah Akins.
One of Parman's changes was a switch to a zone defense. Davis, who had played man-to-man her whole career, enjoys the new scheme.
"I think playing a zone has made everybody's game better," she said.
Samantha Bridges scored 13 points to lead West Union (1-1).
(B) West Union 47, Pine Grove 39: Chase Cooper scored 14 points to lead the Eagles to their first win of the young season.

James Robert McPeters Jr.
Memorial services for James Robert "Bill" McPeters, Jr. will be held on Wednesday, March 6, at 4:00 p.m. at McPeters Funeral Directors. Following the service, a gathering will be held in his honor at Refreshments, Incorporated, 101 West Linden Street, Corinth, Mississippi. Mr. McPeters passed away on Saturday, March 2. Having touched the lives of so many, both here in Corinth and elsewhere, he garnered a reputation as both a caring and entertaining philanthropist whose generosity was unmatched. There are few who have not evidenced his heart-felt concern, whether in the form of a small gift, a meal, a donated funeral service, or just a smile; however, much of this kindness was shared anonymously.
Serving the community in a unique fashion, Bill became an iconic personality in Corinth. Many citizens have relaxed on one of his wrought iron benches, which continue to decorate the downtown streets, or in the past have leaned against one of his multi-colored light posts, a project he initiated as an original member of the Make Corinth Beautiful Commission. Some Corinthians even experienced the pleasure of a ride in John F. Kennedy's personal limousine, thanks to the far-sighted McPeters who purchased the Cadillac for a reported $8000. President Lyndon Johnson rode in this same limousine in JFK's funeral procession. With a flair for the unusual, Bill had a style all his own. From the neckties he always donned around his waist to his feathered hats, Bill was a colorful, unpredictable friend even in his nineties.
Born February 18, 1923, McPeters completed high school in 1940 at Columbia Military Academy in Tennessee. After attending Cumberland University law School, he changed career goals and attended both Marion Military School in Alabama and the University of Mississippi, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. Beginning his life-long profession as a funeral director in 1946, he purchased his cousin Liddon McPeters' share of the family business in 1954 which had been established by his great-great uncle, W. L. McPeters, and Dave Hyneman in 1905. McPeters Funeral Home, the first in the state to have a burial association, continued under McPeters' uniquely distinctive personality and guidance. The mortuary, first located on Waldron Street, moved to its present location on East Third Street in 1978, where it continues to maintain its standard of excellence.
In 1992, the business was sold; however, after retiring for a few years in Florida, McPeters and his wife, Judy, who joined McPeters Funeral Directors in 1979, returned to Corinth to manage the business, which continues to carry the family name. By his side in the business, Judy has described her husband as a caring, generous man who always was "the same with everybody," stating he always did little things for people, "usually hiding his kindness" even from her. His generosity, many say, stemmed from the fact that he always embraced other's sadness as well as their needs. Daughter Kayo also states that these acts of kindness define her father.
Mr. McPeters was a member of First United Methodist Church and attended Covenant Presbyterian Church. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of McPeters Funeral Home on February 2, 2005, he was recognized by the Mississippi Legislature for "Outstanding Service by a Funeral Director," honoring his professionalism and high standard for excellence. Described as a "colorful and unique undertaker," the declaration praised him as "the cornerstone of compassion and service and the bedrock of generational success in Corinth and surrounding areas." In addition to his profession, he served as a member of the Ambulance Service and the Magnolia Hospital Board. In addition, due to his love for animals, he was co-founder of the Alcorn County Humane Society and helped establish the Corinth Horse Show.
Mr. McPeters is survived by his wife Judy; his daughter, Kayo McPeters; son, Mark Matthews and wife Carley; daughter Marcy Matthews Hinton and husband Tom; grandchildren, Caitlin McPeters Voyles, Thomas Hinton, and Will Matthews. He is preceded in death by his mother, Ione McPeters; father, James R. McPeters, Sr.; and sister, Sara Nette Donachy.
Officiating the service will be Reverend Dennis Smith, Dr. Don Elliott, Dr. Prentiss Gordan and Reverend Ralph Culp. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Corinth Animal Shelter or the charity of one's choice.

Donald W. Zacharias
Donald Wayne Zacharias, 77, president emeritus of Mississippi State University, died March 3, 2013, in Starkville, Mississippi. He was the beloved husband of Tommie Kline Zacharias, his wife of 53 years.
A public memorial service celebrating the life and service of Dr. Zacharias will be held Thursday, March 7, at 11 a.m., in the MSU Colvard Student Union's Foster Ballroom. A reception and time of fellowship will follow. Parking will be available at the Palmeiro Center, next to Humphrey Coliseum, and shuttle buses will transport guests to and from the Union. The shuttle service will run every 10 to 15 minutes beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Born on Sept. 28, 1935, Don was the son of William and Estelle Newlon Zacharias of Salem, Ind. He was a devoted servant to higher education during his long career, which included 12 and one-half years as president of Mississippi State University (1985-1997). His was the second longest tenure in the institution's presidential history, which dates back to 1878.
Don came to Mississippi State from the presidency of Western Kentucky University, where he served from 1979 to 1985 and where a residence hall was named in his honor. At Mississippi State, a co-residential living-learning community that includes four residence halls was designated in 2008 as Zacharias Village, paying tribute to Don's lifelong commitment to student achievement.
Don's career began at Indiana University, where he earned both a master of arts degree and a doctor of philosophy degree. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Georgetown College in Kentucky, where he was later awarded an honorary Doctorate of Law for his distinguished contributions. His exceptional experience in higher education led him to positions as executive assistant to the chancellor of the 14-campus University of Texas System and as assistant to two presidents of the University of Texas at Austin. Don also held tenured professorships in communication at UT, IU and MSU, receiving teaching excellence awards from all three institutions.
In addition to his wife, Tommie, he is survived by two sons, a daughter and three grandchildren, all of Boulder, Colo.

I know it is a little offbeat to ask about herding dogs on a retriever forum, but there is a tie-in. Was talking to someone about training with e-collars on dogs that have been conditioned to them. We both know of persons who have used them successfully in the field, in obedience training as well as in agility training---re agility, usually away from most groups as they feel agility should be positive only. This person has an agility dog that was out of control, stressed readily, etc. With proper collar conditioning and using it correctly, the dog started accepting the responsibility for its own actions, has boundaries, and has had a complete turn-around and has become very successful as well as a dog that is now delightful to be around because of its improved behavior.
She mentioned that herding dog people do not use e-collars. I know that traditionally, for umpteen generations, they have bred those dogs for one purpose, herding, and do not breed those without the proper attitude and talent. Do any of you know how they correct a herding dog that should go out of control; might disregard directions; or may start to bite the sheep? Do they just remove them from use as a herding dog? Have any of you heard of someone training herding dogs with the use of an e-collar?
Outside the parameters here, but am interested in straight forward answers. This is not a question as to whether anyone in any venue should or should not use an e-collar. It is about do they ever use them with herding dogs, and if not, what form of corrections would they use?

Aquinas names Tom Lee head football coach
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Three years ago, Tom Lee created a Word document on his computer. He called it "when."
"Any article that I read, I'd put a link to it. Ideas that I had, I'd put that there, and that really helped me as I got through the interview process," Lee said.
For Lee, "when" is now. Lee was named the Blugolds' head coach, replacing long-time coach Dan Coughlin, who announced his retirement in January.
"I can't believe how excited I am," Lee said.
Lee graduated Aquinas in 1990 and attended UW-La Crosse. He's taught social studies at the high school since 2000 and assisted on Dan Coughlin's football staff for the past 17 years, primarily focusing on defense. Lee, therefore, knows better than anyone that he has big shoes to fill.19081266
"(Coughlin) cast a huge shadow. He's meant so much to me, as a coach, as a friend," he said. "I know that if I need him, he'll be a resource for me."
Lee said he first talked to his team on Friday.
"We're hoping to win a state championship in basketball, so basketball guys are hands off. But everybody else, it's going to be all hands on deck."

An Indiana school district that told a black teenager to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" in a "traditional way" after receiving complaints about her performance is drawing questions now about whether the complaints and directive were racially motivated.
If that video is the version that people are complaining about, then some folks need to re-evaluate their priorities, imo
I think the young lady has a beautiful voice & rendition and it's much more respectful than some versions I've seen/heard from "professional artists".
"Principal Jeff Henderson told The Herald-Times in a statement that people had complained that while the words to the anthem were the same, the tune was unrecognizable."
Give me a break!


text: Does anyone know how the process of scoring a turkey got started? Why do we add both spur lengths and multiply by 10, where did the 10 come from? The beard length and then multiply by 2, where did the two come from, but the weight stays the same. It seems as like i believe that of scoring whitetails as well, is an overrated scoring system created by someone that has more sense than i got. I guess my question would be like that of B/C and P/Y. Why not keep it simple so that everybody could do it. Measure with a certain criteria, 1/16 of an inch and convert into a decimal add up the your scores and your done. I am curious to find out. Most just say that is the way "they" established it. I have seen in all walks of life "they" are real popular and knowledgeable people.
