How do you fold the Ipad over when the dog is out?
Seriously I wouldn't use one to judge. The sun and rain were already mentioned. Even simpler, what do you do in AKC when the judge needs to take the bird from the handler? Your hands are covered in blood / water and feathers. You would have to wash your hands before writing down their score. I know as a judge I would be pissed if my co-judge was screwing around with the Ipad the whole day.

Swift's Notice to Quit questioned by neighbors
September 12, 2012 | Vol. 24 Edition 37
Valdez Star photo
Octogenarian Red Swift and a raft of supporters are questioning the reasons stated behind a Notice to Quit – a first firing shot given before a formal eviction notice –Swift received from the administration at the Valdez Senior Center.
A number of members of the Valdez Senior Center are seeing red after George "Red" Swift, an 84-year-old resident of the facility who has lived in an apartment in the building for 14 years, was served with a "Notice to Quit." The legal document is the first step a landlord must undertake to evict a tenant from a rented property.
On the surface, the possible eviction is a common civil dispute between a landlord (the Valdez Senior Center) and tenant, Swift. However, some members of the Valdez Senior Center say the notice is motivated by a series of running disputes between Swift and the center's general manager, Wanda Clark. Advocates for Swift claim the retired bartender got on the wrong side of Clark and some members of the board of directors and the quit notice is motivated by revenge, not actual serious violations of the lease.
The board and Clark deny the allegation.
"I keep hearing retaliation, retaliation, retaliation. I have nothing but the best intentions towards the senior center," Clark said in frustration during the interview. "It saddens me and breaks my heart that anybody would say I would retaliate against them."
The notice, dated Aug. 28, claims Swift is in violation of his lease agreement in six specific areas and he must remedy the violations immediately or he must move out of his apartment Oct.1. If he fails to move or remedy the alleged violation, he could face an eviction lawsuit.
The violations include a failure to pay required additional charges for large electrical items in his apartment, complaints he leaves his windows open with the thermostat turned onto its highest setting, using foul language in the building, smoking cigarettes in his apartment and that he throws loud parties that disturb other tenants. It also takes Swift to task for parking his motorized scooter in the building's entryway instead of his assigned space in the carport.
Some supporters have come forward to support Swift, but say they fear the consequences of publicly supporting his cause.
"I do not want my name in the paper because there will be retribution," one supporter wrote in a signed letter to the editor that was not published due to the fact the writer asked to remain anonymous. (Not to be confused with Nancy Lethcoe's letter to the editor in this edition.) The writer was identified by newspaper staff and spoke on condition of anonymity.
"She can retaliate so badly," the supporter said in an interview. The Valdez Star is declining to publish the examples of previous acts of retribution allegations cited by the concerned supporter. No instances of elder abuse have been made, but some are saying residents that speak up against management policies or decisions they disagree with later find it difficult to live at the Valdez Senior Center.
"There's a lot going on there," John Miscovich, president of the senior center board, said in an interview Monday afternoon when asked specific questions regarding the notice to quit and the allegations of vindictive actions from the center's management. "I'm bound by HIPAA laws. I could get into trouble for even speaking of it."
Clark, who works under the direction of the board of directors, echoed the frustration expressed by Miscovitch.
"I'm stuck, I can't even defend myself or this agency," Clark said in an interview Tuesday morning. "I just wish people would come talk to me instead of talking behind my back."
HIPAA – federal law that stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act – prohibits individuals and institutions that electronically bill for medical services from divulging information about clients. The Valdez Senior Center falls under the HIPAA act.
Swift's supporters say they have brought their concerns to Clark and the board, but to no avail.
Swift's supporters flat-out dispute some the allegations in the quit notice or point out what they say are hardships with compliance and one instance where the center itself is out of compliance.
"For the past several years, there have been no parties in Mr. Swift's apartment that have disturbed us, his nearest neighbors," states a letter dated Sept. 1 that is addressed to Clark and is signed by Swift's four nearest neighbors in the Senior Center.
"I can't speak to the letter," Clark said, but added, "I will say there are 15 apartments in this building" and not all complaints have come from tenants.
Clark said she could not answer questions alleging the board's decision to kill off a grandfather clause that allowed Swift to smoke cigarettes in his apartment after the city owned building became a no smoking facility was aimed only at Swift or whether allegations of further fowl language in public places continued after a board reprimand. She also said Swift can easily remedy all of the violations listed in the notice.
"That was written by my senior center attorney," Clark said, "It tells him he can fix all these things."
Don Stelling, an advocate for Swift, pointed out that it is hypocritical the center is demanding Swift no longer park his scooter in the front entryway of the building, when a scooter owned by the facility is clearly blocking a fire extinguisher on the second floor. Others question the wisdom of leaving an electric scooter in an outdoor carport where he has been asked to keep it when not in use. It has also been pointed out that Swift has mobility problems, including surgeries on his feet, and it is very painful for him to walk.
For others, the real question the notice has generated for those concerned, is why some tenants fear retribution by Clark.

Critics of Red Swift's eviction complaint have pointed out that the scooter owned by the Senior Center is kept in front of one of the building's fire extinguishers.
"If there was going to be retribution I would have already done it," Clark said when asked point blank how she responds to allegations from some tenants that they fear retribution from her office if tenants speak out or disagree with board policies or issues such as Swift's eviction.
Some residents stated quite clearly they are genuinely concerned about their tenancy at the center. Rent charges are only $750 a month, utilities included, for a one bedroom apartment which is inexpensive by Valdez standards.
Miscovitch pointed out that Clark has managed the center's finances to the point the organization is deep in the black, got a glowing audit, and is in better financial shape under Clark than it had been form many years.
"Financially, we are in great shape," Miscovitch said, and he feels the seniors at the center are under excellent hands with Clark in charge.
"She knows how to get it done," he said, "She knows all the regulations."
Bad Language-I don't see them evicting parents and students for bad language from our school events or classrooms..hmm if your lucky enough to live to the age of our Senior's - they've inherited the right to use a cuss word or two...Please...That Seniro Center has had Shady business going on since before the doors opened!!

Well this certainly isn't a first . I'm sure if other things were discovered this wouldn't be such a shock to anyone. Its just the first time all this backhanded bussiness was displayed to the public for viewing. I hope everything comes out about these people in charge and they are gotten rid of so our senior citzens don't have to be at their mercy. Can we say the corrupt has be hidden long enough. I say we dig up all the dirt and display everything going on there . This is just one instance!
09/21/2012, 5:54 pm
interesting that the Valdez Senior Center is solvent at the expense of harassing seniors and making other feel they can not freely speak. What is the mission statement for Valdez Senior Services????
09/19/2012, 12:46 am
Looks as though the cats outta the bag. Those that abuse authoritative power bring shame on themselves. Dramatic issues don't constitute eviction. Stating ,if I was going to do that, I would have already done it.Pretty much sums it up for me. Vindictive individuals should have authority over NO ONE. And where would this Senior Citizen go? Should you care? Absolutely you should. Doesn't look like there's any talking being done behind backs to me. Maybe one needs to humble ones self. Hmm?

Financial Aid You Don't Repay
The best types of financial aid are those you don't have to pay back after you graduate. It comes in two forms:
Grants are like gifts and are usually awarded to students with the fewest financial resources. Grants are considered need-based aid. This need is determined when you fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Grants usually come from federal and state governments and are sent directly to the school.
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
- Minnesota State Grant
- Minnesota Child Care Grant
- Minnesota Public Safety Officer's Survivor Grant
- MnSCU Two-Year Occupational Grant Pilot Program
- Alliss Opportunity Grant Program
- Grants for Dislocated Workers
- Military Service Education Benefits
Scholarships are awarded based on criteria such as academic or athletic achievement, cultural or religious background, or special skills and talents. Most scholarships are offered directly to students through the colleges. View a partial list of school-specific aid. You sometimes need to apply separately for these scholarships. A few scholarships are offered through the government:
- Minnesota Academic Excellence Scholarship
- Minnesota Achieve Scholarship
- Minnesota Indian Scholarship
- Minnesota Educational Assistance for War Orphans
- Minnesota Veterans' Dependents Assistance Program
- Education Vouchers for Former Youth In Care
Remember to take advantage of free online scholarship searches that help match you to scholarship money, but be wary of any scholarship search offer that charges fees, asks for credit cards or checking account information, or guarantees scholarships.
Be sure to review our scholarship tips before applying. You will also want to check out the private scholarship information at www.finaid.org which sorts scholarships into categories such as merit, community service and scholarships for average students.

Periconception folic acid supplementation
Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC
May, 1997
Many of my pregnant patients come to see me only after they have found out they are pregnant. I understand this is too late to prevent spina bifida. What should I do?
Motherisk has just created an information pamphlet on folic acid. We advise all primary physicians caring for women of reproductive age in Canada to give their patients this pamphlet. It can be ordered and received by fax (416) 813-7562.
Neural tube defects (NTDs) result from failure of the neural tube to close during early embryogenesis (between 21 and 27 days of gestation2) and are the most common serious congenital neurologic malformations seen in humans. Of all NTDs, 50% are spina bifida cystica (myelomeningocele, meningocele, encephalocele), and about 40% are anencephalies.2
The causative role of folate deficiency in NTDs has been suspected for more than 25 years.3 Two recent multicentre studies demonstrated this role through prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trials.3,4
A recent study by Motherisk5 showed that women who gave birth to children with NTDs knew very little about the role of folic acid. Also, it has been shown that more than 25% of pharmacists in the Toronto area are unaware of the importance of periconception folic acid supplementation and, consequently do not recommend or advise folic acid supplementation to their female customers.6 These data suggest that 4 years after the role of folate deficiency in causing NTDs7 was established, the message was still not getting to women and primary health care professionals.
In a recent pilot study, we evaluated current awareness among family physicians in Toronto of the role of folate supplementation in prevention of NTDs.8 Because almost all women in Ontario see their family physicians first when planning pregnancy, the role of these health professionals in delivering this information is crucial. Two groups of family physicians were interviewed regarding the advice they give to female patients planning pregnancies. Confidentiality was strictly maintained, and the questionnaires were answered anonymously.
Randomly selected family physicians
A random sample of 35 physicians responded to the questionnaire: 19 men and 16 women. They had been in practice for 6 to 42 years. (Because it was a pilot study, this was a convenience sample to detect large trends in knowledge). In at least one of the scenarios, 20 (57%) physicians mentioned folic acid as one of the issues to discuss. Fifteen (43%) did not mention folic acid supplementation as a topic for discussion with women of childbearing age, with women actually planning pregnancies, or with women in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Only 14.3% knew the correct timing of folate supplementation (ie, periconception). Physicians who mentioned folate in their responses had been in practice for significantly less time than their counterparts who did not mention folate (mean was 13.5 ± 7.0 years vs 19.4 ± 11.7 years, P = 0.05).
Motherisk-recruited physicians
Thirty-six physicians were interviewed by telephone: 16 men and 20 women. Time in practice varied from 1 to 25 years (8.4 ± 5.7 years). This sample differed significantly from the random sample by being in practice, on average, only half as long (8.4 ± 5.7 years vs 16.2 ± 9.5 years, P < 0.001). In this group, only five physicians (14%) were correct in terms of both timing and dosages of folic acid supplements. Another nine (25%) understood the importance of periconception folate supplementation, but mistakenly suggested initiation of folate treatment to an already pregnant mother or did not know either the correct dose or the need to increase dose in women with increased risk of delivering a child with an NTD (eg, previous NTD delivery, taking anticonvulsants).8
Canadian mothers continue to have little awareness of the
benefits of periconception folate supplementation even after giving
birth to children with spina bifida.4 These findings can be
explained, in part, by our present data, which show that only a small
fraction of a randomly selected group of primary caregivers provide
this crucial information to their patients. Among physicians who did
mention folic acid, up to 40% incorrectly recommended it to an already
pregnant woman and two (10%) thought that folate should be recommended
only to pregnant women. Only 17% of all contacted physicians
recommended folate to any woman of childbearing age. Even among
primary caregivers who contacted Motherisk about drug safety during
pregnancy and who presumably represent a group with higher awareness of
reproductive issues, only 14% had correct knowledge of the appropriate
dosages and timing for folate supplements for preventing NTDs (Table 1).
Table 1. Physicians' responses to questionnaire on folic acid
|Mentioned folic acid at least once
|Knew correct timing for supplementation
*16.2 ± 9.5 years in practice, P < 0.01
8.4 ± 5.7 years in practice, P < 0.01
The obvious role of primary care physicians in advising their
patients about the need for folate supplements cannot be
overemphasized. Because this is one of very few congenital birth
defects that can be prevented at a primary level, it will be very
difficult for physicians to defend not counseling women who seek advice
while planning pregnancy and who end up giving birth to children with
NTDs. Although this pilot study might not be generalizable to all
Canadian or even Ontario physicians, it highlights the issue of not
informing women of the possibility of preventing NTDs.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:My favorite fund-raising idea
Juro, a journal sounds like a great idea. I'd love to have them on the shelf as well, for my kids. Maybe we could auction off a custom rod or 2. I hear there are some 2-handed sages around!!! ; ) Tom D
RE:My favorite fund-raising idea
Juro, the journal is an excellent idea! the information shared though this forum has educated me more in one year than in all the years I have fished. This information can be written up in a "yearbook" similar to what the New York Anglers Club does and has done for 50 years. The information shared is extarodinary as are all the opinions. To put this in one source for the Forum participants would be better than any other "why and how to" book anywhere. Not just the reports ,but the fly tying section ,etc. Count me in to help draft any portion you think... I am now preparing a Post on Cape Geology.. breif and mostly the contents of a paperback book I have.
My favorite fund-raising idea
<center>The Flyfishing Chronicles
A new century of flyfishing
... or something like that. What am I talking about? Let me explain...
Although the notion of a writer's guild was fun, I think it would be awesome if we took it one step further and put together a yearbook of sorts - made up of our stories, advice, fly patterns, sketches, photos, etc. This book would be available for sale to raise funds to perpetuate and grow the notion of a true forum of flyfishing friends with the reach of the internet worldwide. Imagine if we can grow this coalition to represent enough ports of call so that no business traveling member would leave a travel rod at home? I loved hosting people like Pete from Calgary, Ken from Australia, Brian and Nate from Seattle, the Professor from Scotland, etc - and am indebted to Tyler, Brian and Bill for hosting me on the mighty Thompson. In less than a year we have had adventures like many mere mortals don't have in a lifetime, as I see it anyway. I'm sure many will agree. This book would be a great way to capture that magic and may be an instrument for keeping the dream alive.
This combined with other such programs would be aimed at the goals of (1) covering the site costs (2) funding raffles and prizes (3) funding more raffles and more prizes. If we achieve (1) GREAT! If we go past that BETTER!
It is not my intent to take profits from this forum and I am considering applying for non-profit .org status to keep it a thing "by the people, for the people" as a famous document once proclaimed. The trick is to get up to the point where we are raffling for an all-expense paid trip for two to Belize in February, or Kamchatka for wild Russian 20 pound steelhead, or the Gaspe, or...
We'll probably start out with something much simpler like a free ride to the Monomoy Rip... but hey, we gotta start somewhere and when the tide's right that's no small priviledge. Only ten people on Earth get to enjoy that on any given day.
But before I get too carried away let me just say that it would be such an honor to put our journal on my bookshelf each year, and every year after that. Someday when my arms fail me and my son, and perhaps his son look into these books they will see the legacy we created. The best part is that it is not big business telling fishermen what they're doing - it's fishermen engaging ourselves in the business of fishing the world. To get in the book - simply join and contribute.
Technologically speaking this sort of thing is getting easier each month. Structured data is already usable in both web, printed, even wireless format through parsing, style and formatting technologies maturing at break-neck speed. In other words, if done right it might not even be too hard.
One thing I do know though - we need to transition to a forum where each person does a little, when added together it equals a tremendous amount. Just look at any discussion board to see the potential of that. Such a journal embodies the notion of many giving a little to do a lot.
Any thoughts?

CA Wellness Plan
This publication brings together data and reports compiled by the California Department of Public Health, county health departments, nongovernmental organizations, and research centers, to provide a snapshot and health assessment to guide state and local collaboration to improve the quality of life for all Californians.
It has been updated twice since being posted to our website on March 20, 2013, and the final version is now posted as of April 19, 2013. If you have downloaded a version prior to April 19, please be sure to note the changes summarized in the errata sheet.
In September 2011, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) received a three-year grant from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create a Coordinated Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Program (CCDPP). The program's purpose is to build and strengthen CDPH's capacity and expertise to effectively prevent chronic disease and promote health. CDC would like health departments to focus on the following four key areas:
Our GoalThe CCDPP goal is to create a roadmap with statewide partners to prevent disease and disability, decrease health disparities, improve the quality of health care and empower communities to create healthier environments. Partners are helping guide the development of a multi-year State Plan and support its implementation.
Coordinated EffortsCCDPP's internal coordination efforts include partnering with chronic disease and injury prevention programs, including:
CCDPP's external coordination efforts are conducted in partnership with other agencies and organizations addressing chronic disease, injury, risk behaviors, or that have similar prevention goals. External partners include local county health departments, voluntary organizations, non-profits, foundations, academia, and other government agencies.
CDC awarded funds to each of the 50 states, District of Columbia, and seven territories to support essential chronic disease functions and improve coordination of chronic disease prevention both within states and at CDC. The funding available to support state awards for Coordinated Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion comes from the FY 2011 Prevention and Public Health Fund (Affordable Care Act).
The aim of CDC's Coordinated Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Program is to provide resources and funding to build and strengthen state health department capacity and expertise to effectively prevent chronic disease and promote health.

Be sure to visit the Al Hamd hotel...argueably the oldest hotel on the Arabian peninsula...
When ever the fish and/or chicken starts to take on a peculiar state, they curry it to cover up the obvious semi-advanced stages of decompostion.
After the unwary consumer has paid the bill, the poison usually doesn't kick in until the ride home...then, allhandsondeck...Man the battle stations!
Speaking from experience, I tend to avoid curry like the plague but...
If you limit the application so that the original flavour of the catch is still the centre of attraction, and avoid over cooking...a little goes a long way and the subtle nature of the spice shines through!
Wash it down with an ICE COLD beer (available to westerners is they know the secret password and/or the owner) and lifeisgood!...even on the Arabian peninsula...
Don't leave home without the Imodium!!!
Fish Curry
I've had this several times at a great Vietnamese restaurant, I've made something similar with a little sauce packet I got at an Asian market. Ive tried it with walleye and its very good! I'd imagine it's also good on any white meat fish. Does anyone have a from scratch recipe? Remember Its Not Indian Curry!!!!

The Poems of Sarah Palin
The following is excerpted from I Hope Like Heck: The Selected Poems of Sarah Palin.
Where There's Smoke
One of Lyda's aides stopped me in the hall
To say the building was getting a kick
Out of my "burnt toast" episode this morning
That caused the fire alarms to go off
For 20 minutes
And caused an evacuation.
She thought it was funny
I was cooking breakfast in the capitol
And burnt it.
I assured her
I was not in the building this morning,
I was not cooking breakfast here at any time,
And I did not burn any toast.
She looked at me warily,
I doubt she believed me.
Carpe Per Diem
Am I supposed to be charging meals
While I am away from Juneau?
Or does per diem cover my meals—
I haven't charged any meals to the state,
Just a couple of coffees while outside
During these six months in office.
Am I doing this right?
What about Todd's meals
If he's traveling for First Gentlemen duties?
Is the intent for his per diem to cover meals entirely,
Or was he to have been keeping receipts
For reimbursements?
What about family?
I'd like to be real clear.
I Hope Like Heck
When asked about the Gravina Bridge—
I hope like heck
Lawmakers are smart enough
To chop that out
Of the state budget
So I don't have to.
You Are All Amazing—Except Maybe for Bruce
You all are amazing!
You're loved
And appreciated!
Lean over
And slug Bruce for me,
As I follow up
With a hug for him
Next time I see him.
What a crock.
We've hosted so many groups,
classrooms, teams, etc.
In the mansion and/or
The Juneau office
And no one has said
About it.
'I Hope Like Heck: The Selected Poems of Sarah Palin.' By Michael Solomon. 64 pages. Byliner. $1.99.
I May Be Pretty Wimpy
I may be pretty wimpy
About this family stuff,
But I feel like I'm at the breaking point
With the hurtful gossip about my family
That Sherry
And others
Get away with.
Bear with me.
I hate this part of the job
And many days
I feel like it's not worth it
When they have to put up with the hate
That spews from people like Sherry.
And there are others.
The Old, Used Tanning Bed
I am so sorry
That the office is swamped like this!
Dinosaurs even?!
I'll try to run through some of these
In my head
Before responding.
And the old, used tanning bed
That my girls have used
A handful of times
In Juneau?
We paid for it
The Truth About the Moose
He claims
Chuck Heath was going to take Molly's tag
And shoot a moose.
Not true.
I recall
That Chuck Heath was offering to take Molly hunting
Since the season was coming to a close
And Wooten had still not taken the time
To take her hunting
So she could fill the tag.
Chuck Heath wasn't going to "shoot a moose,
But I'm Not Bitter
The sunshine is perfect—
Too bad we'll be looking at it
Through conference windows
This afternoon.

Family: Xiphiidae, Swordfishes view all from this family
Description Swordfish (Xiphias gladius; from Greek ξίφος: sword, and Latin gladius: sword), also known as broadbill in some countries, are large, highly migratory, predatory fish characterized by a long, flat bill. They are a popular sport fish of the billfish category, though elusive. Swordfish are elongated, round-bodied, and lose all teeth and scales by adulthood. These fish can live close to shore. They reach a maximum size of 14 ft 9 in (455 cm) and 1,400 lb (650 kg). The International Game Fish Association's all-tackle angling record for a swordfish was a 1,182 lb (536.15 kg) specimen taken off Chile in 1953.
Dimensions Up to 15' (4.6 m); 1,182 lbs (536.2 kg).
Habitat Open ocean, Ocean or bay shallows.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada.

I'm going to noodle on this overnight, before rendering any kind of analysis. I don't want to be reactionary...but break it down piece by piece.
I'd like to find the text of the speech...anybody got a source?
There was a lot of well meaning, well intentioned ideas. Getting any of them into legislation is a whole nuther matter. I just wish Obama and his party in the congress could get anywhere near the same page. I thought there were some very ominous remarks that almost precluded this won't be a bipartisan effort. I was really dismayed with the insignificant bone thrown on tort reform.
My overall impression is where the heck is the money coming from to pay for the 30-40 million new insured? Not "one dime" of new spending? We'll get it from doing away with fraud and abuse in the current system?
I'm afraid the president is whistling past the graveyard on the funding.
I thought Axelrod was a total dick. Instead of looking forward to what his boss says can be done....he spews the same old rancid puke about Bush and Rove.

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – When Aubrey and Ruby Kathryn Patterson moved to Tupelo 40 years ago, they were looking for the right place to raise their then two small children.
"We were looking for a place with traditional values, a commitment to family life and community building," Aubrey Patterson said. "We've never been disappointed in Tupelo or Northeast Mississippi."
Over the years, the Pattersons have given back to the community not only financially but with their time and talent. There are few organizations in Northeast Mississippi that haven't benefited from the Pattersons' generosity.
For their efforts, they were named this year's recipients of the CREATE Foundation's McLean Awards for Philanthropy.
The awards were presented Thursday night during the nonprofit foundation's fall summit held at the BancorpSouth Conference Center.
The McLean Awards for Philanthropy were established in 1997 to honor individuals that exemplify George and Anna Kiersey McLean's extraordinary giving. George McLean established CREATE, and the Northeast Mississippi regional foundation has owned the Daily Journal since McLean's death in 1983.
"To the extent we've been blessed and able to make a small contribution to the community, it's the rent we pay for the space we occupy here," said Aubrey Patterson, chairman and chief executive officer of BancorpSouth. "We've received much more than we've ever given."
Ruby Kathryn Patterson said they didn't do anything other people wouldn't have done.
"Everybody is here for a reason, whether it's to smile at someone to make them happy or something else. … we're all supposed to get along together," she said.
Mike Clayborne, CREATE's president, said the Pattersons were an "obvious choice" for the award.
CREATE also handed out two other awards Thursday:
• The third James Hugh Ray Community Affiliate Award was given to Itawamba FIRST (Friends of Itawamba Responding to Secure Tomorrow). The organization has built its endowment fund to more than $565,000.
The award is based on several factors, including its visibility in the community, its leadership role in the community and its growth.
• The Community Partner Award was given to the Appalachian Regional Commission.
Mississippi Director Mike Armour accepted the award for the ARC.
CREATE also marked its 40th anniversary with memorable highlights of each decade.

Family: Anatidae, Ducks and Geese view all from this family
Description ADULT Has gray-brown plumage, palest in tundra birds and darkest in taiga birds. All birds show variable black barring on underparts, and white vent, which extends as white line to flanks. Legs are orange and bill is pinkish orange. White on forehead is more extensive in tundra birds than taiga ones. In flight, all birds show white on upper tail. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but lacks white on forehead and dark markings on underparts.
Dimensions Length: 27-30" (69-76 cm)
Habitat Locally common. Breeds on tundra and taiga. Winters mainly on farmland and freshwater marshes.
Observation Tips Easiest to observe in winter: California's Central Valley and Texas wetlands are hotspots.
Range Eastern Canada, Alaska, Texas, Southeast, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Plains, Western Canada, California, New England, Rocky Mountains, Florida, Northwest, Southwest
Voice Utters musical barking calls, especially in flight.
Discussion Bulky goose. Adult has diagnostic white "blaze" on forehead. Juvenile lacks this feature and could be confused with feral Graylag Goose. Several subspecies are recognized, but plumage variability often makes precise identification difficult. Broadly speaking, there are two extremes: pale tundra-breeding forms and darker taiga-breeding birds; they usually occur in separate populations in winter. So-called "Tule Goose" is a particularly dark taiga form. Sexes are similar. All White-fronts fly in V-formation on migration and in winter. Feed by grazing vegetation, particularly grasses in winter.

It's lonely at the top...
It's lonely at the top...
The soundtrack of my life
As I type this, I'm listening to Lacuna Coil's latest album, Karmacode. Their trademark dark, haunting vocals and off-key melodies are as evocative as ever.
Ah, Goth Rock. Raw, angstful, and powerful.
Yet, as always, it's the power ballads that pack the most punch for me; They have all of the bands's power on-tap, but rather than throw it in our face, it's barely restrained, each note hinting at the beast caged within.
While the raw power draws out the angst, focused restraint builds the necessary realization and understanding needed to channel that raw power into a way to lift yourself up and out.
This isn't the first time Lacuna Coil has done that for me. Their music has seen me through several turning points in my life. Sort of the right thing at the right time.
It's odd, the way you don't notice something slipping away until it's completely gone and suddenly comes back and smacks you in the face with its full force.
The soundtrack of my life's been..well, silent. There are, of course, many small reasons, all fairly insignificant, but their cumulative reprocussions have been fairly extensive. It's nice that I'm coming out of this extensive rut..
I _really_ need to re-skin my djembe. It has that raw power that my little doumbeks, while tons of fun, just can't touch. Only a month left until the next Paralounge drum gathering!
...Meanwhile, Lacuna Coil's drummer still rides the cymbals far more than is healty. But I guess that means I still have my hearing, eh?
I don't know how to describe just how engrossing this game was; they did everything right. It's the feeling you get after reading a particularly good book; you turn the last page.. and there's no more. The world you'd been living in is suddenly gone, and you feel empty.
The characters were real people, well written and voiced. Epic scale and consequence, life-and-death emotional impact. Excellent music and atmosphere. In short, it has a living, breathing world. It's all there.
Everything, that is... but the ending.
This wasn't the "set things up for a sequel" ending, but more like a "where's the rest? The last quarter of the book is missing!" kind of ending.
They'd better not take another seven years to make the sequel (probably to be called "The Longest Journey: Undreaming"); there are just too many unrequited plot arcs left hanging.
Jarring ending aside, Dreamfall leaves you wondering what is actually real, dreams within dreams, and all that. Very few stories have done this to me.
What is our continued fascination with other peoples' dreams? How are they somehow more real than our own, our own lives? Those who can make their dreams happen are powerful (and dangerous!) indeed.
It could be argued that this "everything left hanging" ending was completely in line with the game's story; it is up to us to dream the ending ourselves, even as the "Undreaming" threatens the world.
Perhaps the blurb about "getting the word out so all of this wasn't in vain" was also about needing to dream up enough sales for them to realize the conclusion of this amazing story.
So, go and pick up a copy of both The Longest Journey and Dreamfall, and discover just how good adventure games can get.
I'm officially domesticated
Last night I bought a KitchenAid stand mixer. I've been wanting one for several years, but could never really justify spending $300 on a glorified mixer.
...enter Crystal's Deadly Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies. The first batch we made produced some interesting sounds out of my Wal-Mart special hand mixer. But it survived, and lived to beat another batter. Unfortunately.. a week later we made a triple batch.
Despite frequent cooling-down periods, the poor mixer started to sound worse and worse, with that nice "um.. that's bad.." smell of warm plastic and ozone that signifies a pending release of magic blue smoke. But the mixer survived, barely. It's probably okay for light mixing, but I'd prefer Crystal to not get a handful of burning plastic when she bakes her next creation...
Crystal's taken up the challenge to try and (legitimately) kill the new mixer. Meanwhile, I'm content to sit back and eat the spoils of war.
It's sad; the first thing everyone's said when informed of this purchase was.. What color?
It's Blue Willow, if you must know.
What is a dream?
It is said that we create our own reality, but using this loose defintion, what we call reality is just another dream.
I know I'm not dreaming when I am unable to control what happens around me. If I get what I want, it somehow seems fake, less real, untrustworthy. If I create what I want, is everything just a dream?
...Is reality what happens when you want to wake up, but can't?
At the end of the day, we return to dreams within our waking dream in vain attempts to tickle ourselves awake. Occasionally we succeed...
Then wake into the dream anew.
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?Edgar Allen Poe
Back in May, I inherited Photo Organizer, and since then, there have been four releases. Nothing earth-shattering, but a steady series of incremental improvements, usually in the form of feature backports from the "unstable" tree.
The single biggest feature of the "unstable" tree is the use of CSS for layout and other formatting, plus other changes necessary to support better theming and internationalization. The work is well advanced, but I'm running into a few walls.
First, I can't seem to figure out how to have truly marginless <button>s. I'm using graphical buttons for things like next/prev links, but try as I may, I end up with a small (~few pixels) margin around the embedded image. This doesn't matter for most of the buttons, but there is a subset used for navigation and this results in the navbar being unacceptaby wide.
The navigation buttons are being used as implicit <a href> tags, which raises the question "why not just use the tag then?" -- basically, I want everything using the same mechanism, if at all possible. As most of these buttons/links appear within multiple forms (and occasionally standalone) I can't use <input type="image"> tags because of their implicit submit on click. On the plus side their borders/margins can be disabled!
Second, I can't seem to figure out how to have a proper 'onmouseover' event when hovering over a button. The button normally pops up a little tooltip (via the title attritubte), but I want to pop up a thumbnail of the next/prev image when the mouse hovers over the button as well as the tooltip. I could probably hack something together via a hidden <div>, but I'm almost over my head as it is.
The goal of these buttons is to enable a pure-text interface, making it trivial to translate it into different languages -- and the crucial bit is that the rest of the code can't care what the UI looks like.
Hacking HTML/Javascript/CSS/DOM is a far cry from the kernel-land hackery I spend most of my time in. To say nothing of my continuing distaste of PHP!
Sunsets and Rockets
While on a bit of a scouting trip, Crystal and I got sidetracked for many hours while we tromped around various parts of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore.
Much of the MINWR, and the southern end of CNS, butts up against NASA's facilities, so while you get this view in one direction...
...you get this in another. (Granted, it was an hour later).
As you can imagine, this stretch of road would be a great place to watch a rocket launch, but In The Interest Of National Security(tm) the powers that be close off this whole area to the public. Sigh.
Along one of the trails I spotted this Great Blue Heron. It's a slightly blurry thanks to my handholding a long zoom, but it's still purty nonetheless.
It's nice to get out and away from a computer and software hax0ring. But more on that later.
Monkey business
Sometimes it's all too easy.
Hula Girls
In mid-November I drove to the Spirit of the Suwanee Music Park, outside the bustling metropolis of Live Oak, FL, for the Paralounge Drum gathering.
It's a fact of life that on any trip, you inevitably forget something. Last time I, I forgot shampoo. This time, I forgot my Djembe, so I resigned myself to walking around the park with my camera, taking nearly 1200 photos during the three-day event. Unusually, I ended up with more good photos than bad. I must be getting better!
This one is the best photo of the lot. It just exudes cuteness, and aside from the trash can visible in the background, is perfect:
This one is another favorite. This young lady had a particular grace about her. It's hard to capture the essence of graceful motion in a still photograph, but I think it works here:
In other news, I'm going to try and do a picture-of-the-day from now on. Consider it an early new year's resolution or something.
Note to Advogato: Most posts won't have anything to do with Free Software -- and nanoblogger doesn't currently generate a separate feed for each category. Is there a way to filter? (Does anyone care)?
Crystal and I rescued Angel from the Humane Society. You can't see it in this picture but his fur was so badly matted that he basically had dreads.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Vertical Memes and Horizontal Genes: Upright Men and Lowdown Dirty Dogs (12.08.10)
According to Tomberg, the second miracle recorded in the Gospel of John addresses this issue of vertical vs. horizontal heredity. As a psychologist, one's stock-in-trade is people who have dropped vertically into the stream of time (indeed, as we all must) but whose vertical heredity is overwhelmed by horizontal factors emanating mostly from parents: the sins of the fathers and mothers are visited upon the sons and daughters, in an intergenerational transmission of pathology.
Psychoanalysis calls the medium of transmission "internalized objects," while I call them "mind parasites," because it is a more accurate description. Plus, I thought I might need a slightly more colorful term just in case I were going to steal a bunch of stuff from psychoanalysis and start my own bogus religion, like L. Ron Hubbard. Instead, Petey and I just formed a local chapter of Transdimensional Raccoons, but kept the name.
As the first miracle -- the Wedding at Cana -- resonates with the seventh day of creation, the second miracle -- the healing of the nobleman's son -- resonates with the sixth. The nobleman implores Jesus to heal his son, who is said to be "near death." In the recently discovered "gnostic gospel" of Shemp, Jesus says, "Dang, you folks are starting to get on my nerves." John 4:48 adds, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe." But at the seventh hour, Jesus says to the man, "Go your way; your son lives." Later the nobleman is told by his servants that his son became well at exactly the seventh hour, when Jesus spoke those words.
God created human beings "on the sixth day," based upon the divine archetype, when He (or perhaps the trinitarian They) said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness." The second miracle speaks to the restoration of the divine-human hereditary archetype that was forged on the Friday of creation, prior to the Fall, which doesn't happen until the following Sunday evening at the earliest. The distortion introduced by the Fall is restored "by the father bringing his son into a direct relationship to the divine archetype -- through his [the father's] faith in Jesus Christ, the new Adam."
In other words, we mistakenly, if understandably, focus on the healing of the son, when the real action takes place in the father, who quite clearly "believed the word that Jesus had spoke to him" prior to the healing. So the real transformation -- and restoration -- occurs first in the father, but has a "vertical" trickle down effect on the son. After all, Jesus made a pretty brusque statement, "Go your way -- your son lives," but the father didn't doubt it. If he had, the entire meaning of the parable would be different.
This brings out a very important -- and perhaps dangerously politically incorrect -- psychological point, that there is something central to fathers and to fatherhood in arresting the intergenerational transmission of mind parasites. Frankly, this is common sense, but it is certainly confirmed if we examine the anthropological and sociological evidence.
Put it this way: in the absence of a strong, vertically oriented father figure, a boy is very likely to remain a more or less horizontal animal. He will be male -- a biological entity under the influence of his horizontal genetic and cultural programming -- but not a man -- which is the first vertical category introduced into human culture. Indeed, it is the foundation of human culture.
This is not difficult to understand. As I explained in the Coonifesto, the mother-infant dyad is a biologically natural phenomenon. Not until men entered that closed system could humans escape biology by becoming the psychologically trimorphic family: mother-father-baby. Thus, "father" is the pillar, so to speak, of society, a non-biological category that then alters the other two: mother simultaneously becomes wife, and baby simultaneously has a way to escape engulfment in the Great Mother archetype, but not without difficulty.
However, it is almost impossible to bridge this gap and escape the orbit of the primordial mother without a vertical father to model the way. Almost all of the really serious problems in society can be traced to the absence of fathers and of men, either literally or figuratively. Our prisons are overcrowded with horizontal males who never became men, although perhaps not to the extent of our professional sports leagues. (I am reminded of the mother-bound Deion Sanders, who was asked by a reporter if his divorce would affect his play. "Nah," said Deion. "It's not like it's family or anything.")
Perhaps someone will relink to that study from about a week ago, documenting how the father's church attendance varies directly with the child's, much more so than the mother's, which has almost no effect. (Here it is -- TW: Smoov.) In light of today's discussion, this makes perfect sense. As in the parable of the nobleman's son, somehow the vertical restoration of the father has a direct effect on the child.
This is also relevant to why God is spoken of as "Father," or why the Pope must be a man. To mess around with these divine archetypes is not just to render them ineffective, but it is to undermine the divine-human economy and attack man as such. To suggest that this is somehow "chauvinistic" is the height of hysterical naivete. Woman and girls benefit from proper men just as much as boys do.
The nobleman in his horizontal aspect may recede into the background once he has brought his son into a vertical hereditary relationship with the new Adam, thus restoring fatherhood and sonhood in the same way that the first miracle restores marriage.
To be honest, the greatest anxiety in my life is that I will not be around long enough to accomplish this for my son. (If only we could purchase a vertical life insurance policy and know that our children would be spiritually "taken care of" in our absence.) I would like to provide Future Leader with plenty of opportunities to experience me as a mere vertical deputy of the real father, so that he can make the naturally supernatural transition from horizontal heredity to vertical heredity. Truly, that is when your mission as a father has been accomplished -- when you may "go your way," knowing that "your son lives."

Angelfish is becoming evil.. What to do?
In one of my 55s, I have had a single angelfish with Head-Tail Light tetras, red phantom tetras, cory cats and khuli loaches for about 5 months. He is now basically full size and I think I am starting to see that dreaded adult angelfish aggression. For basically the entire time I have had him, he has only been slightly aggressive during feeding which I guess for an angelfish is a plus. At all other times, he may slightly chase some fish away but nothing too alarming at all. However, 2 weeks ago, I woke up to a dead tail-light and about a week after another one. A few days after another one. Keep in mind these fish were perfectly healthy the day before their deaths and the water quality is fine ( 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrite, 5 nitrate). I highly doubt its a disease due to the fact only the tail-lights are dieing and are perfectly healthy the day before they die. I know only large bodied tetras should be with Angels but phantoms and taillights are basically the same adult size and they are definitely bigger than neons..very frustrating as I am now down to 9. I really dont want to rehome the angel because its such a beautiful fish and has been relatively peaceful until now. Should I try a larger species of tetra? If so, what kind?
Here he is:
I'm no expert but have kept a fair few angels in my life. They are quite a comical fish, and very smart too.
My most recent experience with them is this;
We had a breeding pair in a 4ft standalone tank, no tetras just a couple of plecos and a few mixed corydoras. So they were quite happy. We had them both for 2 years until the female (called Angel - lol) very suddenly passed away. Damien (named after the movie the Omen - lol) became miserable. So after a few months I caved in and bough another, desperately hoping it was female.
Turns out it was a male and all they did was fight like cat and dog 24 hours a day, he was very very aggressive. So I put the new fish (Satan) in my 200gal loach/tetra tank seeing as was a wee bit smaller and less likely to eat the others. Evidently after the first few nervous weeks he never ate or bothered a single fish, he was quite the lovely angel to be frank.
He once kept watch over my sick pleco so the others wouldn't eat him. And he was even accepted into the pack as an honorary clown loach ;0)
I like to put it down to the fact that when I introduced him to the tank, I had several very dominant large male Congo Tetra who are absolute top strata. I really think they helped put him back in his place.
I lost him a couple of weeks back during my total bacteria breakdown, I still don't forgive myself
Anyway motto of the story is if you can, invest in a few (at least 4 - min group size) Congo Tetra.
They are flashy very outgoing types of fish. Always front of tank showing off. And they tend to leave other fish alone.

Sorry about your fish deaths
I don't have any advice as I'm a new Angelfish owner myself. Just noticed that my Angelfish looks exactly like yours only mine is smaller and not fully grown yet. Hoping that it doesn't grow up to be a Tank Terror and kill off my smaller bodied Tetras.
I'll keep an eye out on this thread to see what advice you receive. I'm sure someone will be along to help you out.
Good Luck with your remaining fish and your Angelfish as well.10 Gallon: Planted Red Cherry Shrimp
65 Gallon: Planted South American Community
30 Gallon: Planted Bolivian Ram Tank
Reduce The Stress....Cycle Fishless!
My angel is with numerous tetra's and they are fine. I don't keep them with neons or cardinals, obviously.
Have you just found dead fish in the tank or have you seen the angel showing aggression to them?
I moved this to the angelfish section.

I mean he has always shown minor aggression to all of the fish in the tank. It gets semi aggressive during feeding but I never thought it was life threatening to the other fish. Everytime he kills a fish. it happens at night
I don't know. Altho night time is hunting time for some, I can't see angels doing that. Mine don't move all night long. They get their sleeping spot and that's it for the night. But I was talking to a gal at the fish store my last visit there and she said she has one angel in a tank and he has killed every fish she's put in the tank with him. He's like 8 years old and has always had to live alone. Grumpy thing.

Shark fly
I'm curious, what would a shark fly look like?
Just an enlarged fish pattern, or does it have to be blood scented before using?
How long is a shark fly and what size hook? 5/0; 10/0?
Got any pictures of a shark fly?
I never seen one. (fly, that is)
What is the target shark for sport fishing?
Lemon shark?
Sand sharks?
Just wondering about this extreme end of fly fishing.
I'm sure a wire tippet is in order too.
I've found that any large fly which pushes water will get their interest if they're in the mood. To be fair, I've never gone out to deliberately target them which is probably a pity since they are no pushover unless they're chummed and in a frenzy.
In the Gulf of Maine, some extreme fishermen go after blue sharks with chum flies. The fish are worked up into a frenzy like Adrian talked about, and then a big, fleshy looking fly (5/0, about 10" long) is thrown into the mix and dead drifted until Mr. Shark comes along and chomps down. Most of these blues are small (under 4 feet) and are easily handled on a 9 to 11 weight outfit.
There were a couple of daring souls who tried to get a mako on a fly. Same situation as the blue sharks, a huge (8/0, about 14" long) chum fly was used, but the makos don't take to the chum as readily as the blues. In fact, the sometimes come to the chum slick to feed on the small blue sharks that are there! And makos are much larger, measuring hundreds of pounds and catapulting out of the water during a fight on conventional tackle, so I can't imagine what would have happened if those guys had connected with their 12 weight. :eek: Talk about grabbing a bull by the horns.
In the Keys, we hooked into a couple of lemon sharks with crab flies.
We also poled up to a few that were asleep on the flats and dropped live crabs on their head. Had to eventually poke them with the rod to wake 'em up.
A good bet for the mako challenge would be Art Burton Jr, son of ArtB aboard the "Mako Bound". He specializes in finding them, but whether you land them or not is entirely up to you :eek:
And if my memory of what the venerable Father says of the Son, he's a crackerjack at his craft.
IMO the large Grocery type flies do the job, tied 6/0 or bigger, at least 8". Shark have been known to be a bit indiscriminate and take all manner from green/pink/white deceiver style to "hey, are you awake???" tarpon and squid colors. Last time I hooked one it took a 13# piece of six-way beef on a .250 dia. welded treble, trolled about the fourth swell back of a military vessel in the North Atlantic :eek:
(pissed off a Chief Cook until the Skipper heard about it and demanded the crew be fed fresh seafood :cool: )
i'm no expert, but have fooled with blue sharks a couple times.
the first trip we had great calm conditions which aided in spotting the sharks behind the chum and allowed up to really dead-drift the chum flies well. the second trip had 25 knot winds which made spotting any sharks impossible and we didn't hook any one flies.
when the first sharks showed up on that first trip, we hooked one on a FT clouser tied on a 5/0 gami hook... after that though we couldn't get any grabs on streamers and or poppers. what worked best was tossing some chunks of mackerel and then following the chunks with a red and yellow marabou chum fly on the same hook as above (i didn't palmer the marabou, just tied it down on the top and bottom of the hook shank alternating between red and yellow. we hooked 3 more that way, with a couple grabs as the chum fly just trailed behind the boat (not dead-drift).
i'm sure in the future i'll play with some of the larger flies being talked about, but thought i'd mention some smaller flies (at least in length) that worked.... but maybe there's some difference in east coast vs. west coast sharks and/or their feeding preferences. the size of the chum flies i was using might be similar to some of the large winter-steelhead patterns.
:) I am trying to post, having a problem. One thing to remember is that one has to let the fly drift back in the slick, as makos will not hit when you are striping the fly in. It has to be a dead drift. When you have the indoor casting clave I will have to bring some video, and pictures of shark fishing. :) Quit while I am ahead
Art -
Thanks for the info on mako on a fly... makes me shiver to think about it. Did you see those salmon sharks out in the northwest? Close cousins for sure.
Hope you are recovering well, sent you an email about your posting snafus. Let me know what's up and maybe I can help.

Germany 1921 – 1986
Joseph Beuys, the most influential avant-garde artist of the 1970s and 1980s, was an enigmatic figure who saw himself as a modern shaman, healing a sick society with his performances and ritual objects. The shaman is a mediator between earthly and spiritual worlds, a role not unlike that of an artist. In an almost allegorical tale, Beuys tells how, while a Luftwaffe pilot in 1943, he was pulled from his crashed plane by nomadic Tatars in the snowy wastes of Crimea. 'They covered my body in fat to help it regenerate warmth, and wrapped it in felt as an insulator to keep in the warmth.'[1]
Stripes from the house of the shaman 1964–72 1980 shows the artist's central themes of redemption and transformation. The sculpture consists of seven lengths of grey industrial felt which traverse the floor to a crude wooden archway. A small fir branch, like a miniature tree, is mounted on the end of the felt strips. Small heaps of iron phosphate, sulphur and cinnabar punctuate the opposite ends of the strips. Two coats hang on the side wall. On the floor, between the coats and the felt pathways, is a 'battery' made from a copper rod wrapped in felt.
The symbolism of the portal that dominates the installation is readily apparent―it is an image of transition, perhaps a doorway to another realm. Passing through the arch symbolises birth or death, not just in shamanistic ceremonies, but in most cultures. Felt is made of animal hair, transformed into fabric. It is a source of warmth and insulation, and 'absorbs anything with which it comes in contact―fat, dirt, dust, water or sound―and is therefore quickly integrated into its environment'.[2] In the work, the felt paths lead inward and upward, from a horizontal, earthly world to a celestial one. The fir tree represents life, and acts as a capital for the columns of felt. The felt also insulates the copper conductor in the energy-giving 'battery'. Among its other qualities, copper is used in homoeopathic medicine, and is associated with Venus and femininity. The conjunction of opposites is intrinsic to Beuys's 'theory of sculpture', which contrasted logic and intuition, male and female principles, warm and cool elements, molten and solid, soft and hard, emotional and intellectual, natural and cultural.
Two coats symbolise warmth and insulation, while also representing disguise, or perhaps magic cloaks for the shaman to don. Hanging casually, they suggest readiness to travel, or sudden return. The garments stand for the artist, while simultaneously confirming his absence from the installation. A hare-skin bag containing rock crystal hangs from the seal-skin coat. The hare, which Beuys adopted as a personal totem, is associated with the moon, and is a hero of folk tales. By the early 1970s Beuys felt he had completed his private transformation, and was ready to begin the public revolution. He defined politics as 'social sculpture'.
Beuys explained: '[M]y intention is … to stress the idea of transformation and of substance. That is precisely what the shaman does in order to bring about change and development: his nature is therapeutic.'[3] The objects have the power of a fetish, something that compresses the ordinary into a symbol of compelling potency. In his informally structured sculptures there is a provocative lack of beauty because, Beuys said, 'it is the transformation of substance that is my concern in art, rather than the traditional aesthetic understanding of beautiful appearances'.[4]

In the first foreign policy speech following his momentum-gaining debate against President Barack Obama, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney expanded on his vision of an "American century," a view he tied to the legacy of leaders like General George Marshall as he outlined a muscular, moral U.S. foreign policy with American exceptionalism at its core.
Romney aimed to distinguish his world view from the president's, as he has in far-lower-profile foreign policy speeches, promising to "change course" in the Middle East by helping to provide arms to Syrian rebels and talking and acting even tougher on Iran.
"It is the responsibility of our president," Romney said Monday at the Virginia Military Institute, "to use America's great power to shape history – not to lead from behind, leaving our destiny at the mercy of events. Unfortunately, that is exactly where we find ourselves in the Middle East under President Obama."
Romney wove together a constellation of tumultuous events in the Middle East that he said has left "the risk of conflict in the region" higher "now than when the president took office."
And he promised what amounted to a middle ground between President George W. Bush's activist "freedom agenda" and the pragmatic and downsized ambitions of an America exhausted and depleted by two wars in one decade.

Hum, long time since my last update. I am still waitting for
becomming a Debian Developper. Still two months to wait and I'll be able to enjoy my first anniversary in New
Maintainer's queue :-( (Not sure that it sounds good in English but anyway I don't know how to express it in a better way)
I've joined OFTC's staff a few weeks ago. My role is Advisor. I am very proud of that.
I finished to translate a new manpage one week ago, man 1 xsltproc in French. Still have a long TODO file on my hard disk about manpages.
I hope I'll be able to to at the next debconf. No real plan yet. Just an idea.
Next week, I'll be At "Solutions Linux", Paris, La défense. It's the most important event about Free Software in France. Don't forget your fingerprints :-).
Ok, that's enough for tonight

As part of the 14th annual Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, astrobiologist and planetary scientist David Morrison, Ph.D., of the NASA Ames Research Center and the SETI Institute, will discuss The Meteor That Exploded Over Russia Last Year: Can We Survive a Bigger Impact?, an illustrated, non-technical lecture Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. in the Smithwick Theatre at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to locate parking.
What would happen if an asteroid collided with the Earth? On Feb. 15, 2013, a rocky projectile entered the Earth's atmosphere traveling at more than 11 miles per second. It was about 65 feet in diameter, or half the diameter of the impact of 1908, which flattened a thousand square miles of Siberian forest. Its terminal explosion, at an altitude of 14 miles, released energy of about half a megaton, equivalent to a couple dozen Hiroshima-sized atom bombs. About two minutes later, the shock wave reached the ground in Chelyabinsk, Russia, breaking windows and injuring 1,500 people from flying glass. Since the impactor approached the Earth from very near the direction of the Sun, it could not have been seen by any ground-based optical telescope of any size. It therefore struck without warning. Has this event served as a kind of cosmic wake-up call for planetary defense? NASA recently announced a "grand challenge" to find all asteroids that could threaten human populations, and to figure out how to deal with them. David Morrison will discuss the Chelyabinsk impact and evaluate ways we might meet the grand challenge to protect our population from space impacts.
Dr. Morrison is the director of the Carl Sagan Center for Study of Life in the Universe at the SETI Institute in Mountain View. He has been an international leader for two decades in defining the asteroid impact hazard and planning approaches to planetary defense; in recognition of this work, Asteroid 2410 Morrison is named in his honor. Morrison has also made many contributions to teaching astronomy and space science, including authorship of several college textbooks in astronomy and planetary science. He is a popular writer and public lecturer, promoting a scientific and fact-based perspective about such topics as the evolution-creationist conflict and climate-change denialism. Recently, he was awarded the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal for using science to counteract public fears about the end of the world in December 2012.
The free lecture series is sponsored by the Foothill College Astronomy Program, NASA Ames Research Center, SETI Institute Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Past lectures from the series are available online atwww.astrosociety.org/education/podcast/index.html. A number of past Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures are now available free on YouTube on the series' own channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/SVAstronomyLectures/.

Certainly a lot of changes since the last diary post: Python 2.0 was released on Oct. 16. We started working for Digital Creations on Oct. 23. Still learning Zope.
Certainly a lot of changes since the last diary post: Python 2.0 was released on Oct. 16. We started working for Digital Creations on Oct. 23. Still learning Zope.
The release itself is quite good, though. There has been a major effort to reduce the number of open bug reports on SF. It was done to 50 when we issued the release, including a number of minor platform-specific issues and feature requests.
Only two more weeks until the final release!
I finally found some time to look at the archiver code for Mailman. I made a small fix to it long ago and Barry never let me forget :-).
I fixed the archiver so that it generates useful HTML pages for mail messages that use non-ASCII character sets, either in the message body or in the headers (using encoded-words). It looks like it's working; I see lots of non-Roman characters where I used to see line noise. I also spent a lot of time refactoring the code; it had far too many long methods, including several that were almost line-for-line duplicates of the same method in a superclass.
Michael Ströder pointed out that the Pisces ASN.1 parser couldn't handle X.509 certificates, because it was choking on context-specific items that had explicit tags. Fixing this bug lead to a general cleanup of the module that makes the overall workings a bit simpler. Hopefully, I'll be able release an update soon.
I finished transferring the Python bugs database from the Jitterbug server at python.org to SourceForge. The new bug tracker is a big improvement ; it is easier to browse bugs and it is possible to assign bugs to individuals for resolution.
I wrote a Python script to do the transfer. It would probably be useful to other projects migrating to SourceForge. I should post it on my Python goodies page, but I need to move my homepage to pythonlabs.com first. (I am no longer able to access python.org.)
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
