I really should write more often. Anyway, things are looking good in the GNOME 2.6 translations area. Even though I often complain about it I'm not entirely sure we've actually had more string freeze breakages this time around than before. Sometimes they just come in a single swoop (when people suddenly realize there is a freeze and they need/want to break it because of bug fixes) and we appear to be drowning in both actual string freeze breakages and breakage requests, while other times several weeks appear to pass by without a single thing when things have calmed down a bit. Just so that you're sure of it, I and other translators are immensely thankful to all developers who manage to not break the freezes. You know who you are, so feel proud!
We will have some new exciting language support in GNOME 2.6. Some new language translation teams have formed, and some older ones appear to have gotten a lot of new energy. The Canadian English and British English teams are examples of both of this. For those who cannot stand US English spellings, help is on its way in form of a new GNOME release. For those who prefer US English, it's still the default and obviously as supported as before.
In GNOME, a language counts as supported if it has more than 80% coverage. Among the new languages that has passed this barrier we find Arabic, Croatian, Mongolian, Lithuanian, Russian, Turkish, and Ukrainian (Data shamelessly stolen from Kjartan). Still, things are changing rapidly as more translation teams commit their updated translations. And that's still almost a week old automated report... I'm excited to see the new one coming tomorrow.
I've managed to update the Swedish GNOME 2.6 translations to make them complete some weeks ago. I'd like to direct a special thanks to André Dahlqvist who has been tremendously helpful in reviewing the Swedish translations and reporting problems in them. So the GNOME Desktop & Development Platform release is fully translated into Swedish this time as well, even though I haven't managed to keep the Swedish translations of other GNOME-using software (such as Fifth Toe etc.) update in a similar manner -- I've simply had to prioritize the coming GNOME D&DP release.
In other news, I've made the Swedish Fedora translations complete again, and I've started to add and update many Swedish Translation Project translations, especially those that have relevancy to GNOME, like GStreamer. Unfortunately that means that I'm now responsible for 52 translations in the TP, but I think that I'll manage it somehow.

Harvesting the Boss Gobbler is only half the work. After the harvest proper card for your turkey is extremely important.. Fortunately for us Wild Turkey hunters there isn't much "work" in field dressing a turkey. Persevering your meat is very important.
We all like to show off our turkey to our hunting buddies or anyone who wants to look for that matter. If you are not going to clean the bird for a while there are a few steps to follow to make sure the meat stays eatable. The first and most important thing to preserve the meat is keeping the meat cool. We all want to lay out bird in the back of the truck to haul it around which is fine. Just make sure to cover the bird so it's not lying in the sun for an hour as you drive home. If you have a really long commute I would recommend bringing along a cooler. Buy a brick of ice and put the bird in the cooler with the ice.
The first thing you must do after harvesting your bird to make sure its taken care of properly is field dress the bird. The process is simple. Remember to bring along a knife into the field while you are hunting. Find the point of the breast. This is between the legs of the turkey. As you make the cut along the point of the turkey's breast. Do not cut into the turkey fan. Most hunters want to make a wall mount from the fan. So as you are field dressing is sure not to cut any of the feathers or pull any of the turkeys fan out. This is very frustrating after you have harvested and field dressed your bird to find you have cut several of the fan feathers out of the fan.
After cutting across the tip of the turkey's breast. Pull the breast and back of the turkey apart. So you can get your hand inside the turkey cavity. Reach inside the cavity as far as you can pull the internal organs out as you go. This will include the heart, lungs, and liver. The guts will follow along as you are pulling these internal organs out of the turkey. Some people like to keep the turkey's heart and liver. If you are going to do this I highly recommend you bring a zip lock bag along with you to store these. This will keep them clean and from getting blood all over your clothes or turkey vest. After removing the internal organs you aren't finished yet. Find the turkey's crop. It's where the neck meets the main body. Slit the turkey's neck open so you can remove the wind pipe and the crop. After this procedure you are ready to show off your big tom. This sounds like a lot of work but after you perform this a few times it comes naturally. I have harvested several turkeys and now I can field dress a turkey under five minutes. Remember it's not trying to be perfect you're going to clean the bird when you get home. You aren't cleaning the bird to eat. You're doing this so the meat doesn't ruin before you can get it home. Hope this helps.

We were so very lucky to have been raised in a small village, Walpole, New Hampshire. Walpole (like many places in the state) was a friendly place, where everyone knew each other, doors were never locked, and the neighbors were all special and caring.
The village of Walpole had a large Town Hall. The second floor boosted a stage with a dance floor (of course the room was frequently set up with for plays, large meetings and all). On Saturday nights, the Allen Kendall orchestra played wonderfully dancing music, including both ballroom and square dancing—something for everyone. It was the place to be on Saturday nights when I was in hight school.
Our high school class (WHS, class of 1959) was small—there were 27 of us from three communities, Walpole, Drewsville, and Westmoreland. Though a very small community during our sophomore year some of our parents called in a professional dance couple to teach us the basics of ballroom dancing and etiquette. I remember that year fondly. At the end of our sessions, my parents hosted a small dinner party for my twin and I and our dates and another couple before we headed out to show off our skills in a dance competition.

Are Proposed Seismic Surveys Near Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Worth the Risk to Ocean Wildlife?
Posted On October 4, 2012 by Guest Blogger
A nuclear power plant and an active earthquake fault are two things that should never go together.
Yet San Luis Obispo County on California's Central Coast is home to both the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, which generates energy to meet the needs of more than 3 million Californians, and to several earthquake faults. These active and inactive faults –some of which were discovered as recently as 2008—vary in size and occur both onshore and offshore. The rugged and beautiful San Luis Obispo coast also supports an amazing abundance and diversity of ocean wildlife.
In light of last year's Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, which triggered a meltdown at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, there is understandable and growing concern about the safety of Diablo Canyon and potential impacts of a major earthquake to the power plant, adjacent coastal communities and to ocean life.

So I'd ask you kindly to take your 1950's preconceived notions and re-examine them. Oh, and youtube is awesome.

Serves 4
Nyora peppers are authentic to making true Catalan romesco sauce. If they're not available, substitute additional large red peppers such as dried ancho chiles. Use spot prawns instead of extra-large shrimp when available at your local fish market.
Snap the stems from the chiles. Shake out and discard the seeds. Put the chiles in a heatproof bowl and cover with 2 cups boiling water. Set a small plate on top to keep the peppers submerged and let sit until softened, about 20 minutes. Discard the soaking liquid. Set the peppers aside.
Roast the red bell peppers: On the stovetop, hold the peppers with tongs over an open burner, turning them until they're blackened uniformly, about 3 to 5 minutes. (Alternatively, put the peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 450°F until the skins become brown and loosen, about 30 minutes.) Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap for 15 minutes, allowing them to steam and cool slightly. Peel the skins from the peppers, remove the seeds, and set the peppers aside.
Heat 2 Tbs. of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then add the hazelnuts and cook, shaking the pan a few times, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Drain the hazelnuts and let cool slightly. Remove as much paper coating on the nuts as possible. Discard the oil.
Make the romesco sauce: Combine the chiles, roasted red bell peppers, hazelnuts, breadcrumbs, garlic, tomatoes, sherry vinegar, and 1/2 cup olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Season generously with salt and pepper and pulse until completely puréed. Transfer to a small plastic container, cover, and refrigerate until needed. The romesco can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator.
Heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a large straight-sided skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the shrimp turn pink and become firm, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Warm the cold romesco sauce. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and serve the romesco sauce on the side. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Amoebic Dysentery
Amoebic dysentery is an intestinal illness caused by a parasite.
Amoebic dysentery is caused by a parasite called
Entamoeba histolytica. You may develop amoebic dysentery if you:
Put something in your mouth that has touched the stool of a person infected with
E. histolytica
Swallow water or food that has been contaminated with
E. histolytica
Touch cysts (eggs) from
E. histolytica—contaminated surfaces and bring them to your mouth
Digestive Pathway Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Amoebic dysentery is an intestinal illness
caused by a parasite.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your doctor will need tests of your bodily fluids and waste products. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Stool samples
Images may need to be taken of your bodily structures, especially your liver. This can be done with:
- Ultrasound
- CT scan
To help reduce your chances of getting amoebic dysentery, take the following steps when traveling to a country that has poor sanitary conditions:
- Drink only bottled water or water that has been boiled for at least one minute
- Do not eat fresh fruit or vegetables that you do not peel yourself
- Do not eat or drink unpasteurized milk, cheese, or dairy products
- Do not eat or drink anything sold by street vendors
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Use hand sanitizers if soap and water are not available.
- People carrying the parasite may need to be treated to avoid spreading it to others.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of getting amoebic dysentery include:
- Living in or traveling to developing countries, places that have poor sanitary conditions, tropical, or subtropical areas
- Living in institutions with poor sanitary conditions
- Having anal sexual intercourse
- Household contact with infected person
Most people with the parasite do not have symptoms. Symptoms may include:
- Loose
stools or constipation
- Bloody stools
- Constant feeling you need to move your bowels
- Nausea
- Weight loss
- Stomach pain
- Fever
- Pain on your right, upper side (if you have the parasite in your liver)
- Loose
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Several antibiotics are available to treat amoebic dysentery or liver infection. Probiotics may also be helpful to reduce the symptoms.

Hey every team plays with a little extra sauce on sunday well except for the jets idiots spilled the sauce on themselves lol revis says hi! I am looking forward to hartline vs finnegan match-up, I think hartline is a player that can get inside corners head and cortland is hot headed jerk but he is very talented can't deny that. Lets see how hartline can solidify he a true #1...
Finnegan will shut Hartline down. If the officials are flag happy it'll be good for Miami to take some shots deep with Hartline on Finnegan. He'll hold and grab.
At all! I think he he has at least earn the title "good", because he is not below average or anything. But I hope we kick their a$$.
The Healthy Dolphins were playing like a good team. May health return quickly. Go Gase!
It's football. I can understand helmet hits and going for ankles, but football is a physical game. I'm tired of the NFL turning into a whine fest about safety. The defense is already handicapped enough with the QBs and WRs being so protected.
Miami Dolphins
Miami Heat
Miami Marlins
Miami Hurricanes
Florida Panthers
God forbid RG3 has stitches in his cheek while filming a Gatorade commercial........I'd hate to see the state of the league in 20 years if the rule changes keep coming as prevalently as recent times.

Hey Travis, how is your dog doing? I see the ribbons, what title did she get? Did you try your luck at any derbies or are you planning to run anything this spring?
Drundel and I are looking for a change this year on hunting. Do you have any leads on places to hunt out towards Bellville? Looking for some decent ponds that someone might lease.
Hope you and the dog are well. I'm planning to run several MH tests this Spring, so maybe we'll cross paths.

Reading Everyday Hunters 1st bird thread got me thinking about this. He posted an old photo of him and his bird. I love those old pictures. They take us back to a much simpler time. No turkey vests, decoys, matching camos, magnum shotguns, etc.
So lets post some of those old photos that take us back a few years to a different time. Even if they aren't exclusively turkey pics, they will still be fun to look at.
Alright boys, lets see 'em!

Sequestration in my book just demonstrates how dysfunctional our government happens to be.
It was an idea that came from the White House when the Super Committee couldn't agree on cuts. By agreeing to Sequestration, Obama got what he wanted from the Repubs, a raise to the Debt Ceiling.
In listening to much of the testimony of why the cuts would be bad, the Repubs put up most of the speakers! It was like a Lobbyist Festival with lobbyist lined up to condem the proposed cuts. Both the Dems and most of the Repubs are fighting against what they agreed to last August! The cuts are in future speanding over a 10 year period which means we will still be adding several TRILLION a year to the Deficit.
As in most issues, they are using fear to convince the American people that the cuts would be devastating. My feeling is, no pain no gain.
I say, "Let the cuts begin"!
"The Budget Control Act (BCA) enacted in August stipulates that if the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction fails to produce a bill to reduce the deficit, there will be across-the-board cuts sufficient to reduce the deficit by a total of $1.2 trillion, starting in 2013.

I don't think speech is going to be the next big interface, but i would like to have some sort of backup plan in case I go blind -- my eyesight is bad enough as it is. Besides, hearing MC Hawking (mchawking.com) esque vocalized chats in Gabber is really cool, too :)

"Filling can be made ahead of time,and actually is better - gives it time to marinate the veggies. Drain before filling the tarts. I used Farmboy's Greek salad Dressing - excellent."

I am considering getting one of these for my pup to be used while I'm at work but am wondering if anyone can recommend a brand/size etc. I was browsing some of the ones at www.k9kennelstore.com and was wondering if anyone here has bought one from here and can give me a review or recommend another type that works well.
My pup right now is crated during the day in a wire crate in my house and I have my Dad come by and let him out twice a day. I am gone from 6:30 am til a little after 4pm so it's quite a long stretch. Once he is a bit older I'd love to have him outside during the day while I"m gone and know he is safe and secure but with a little more room then the crate provides to lounge around. I live in southern CA so the weather is pretty mild most of the time but we can get temps up to 100 degrees during the summer so I'd want something that has a cover for shade.
Thanks in advance!

Dancer, MacArthur Fellow to share work, Oct. 2 and 4
Posted September 25, 2003; 04:28 p.m.
Choreographer, dancer and 2002 MacArthur Fellow Liz Lerman will spend the first week of October on campus sharing her work through master classes, workshops and two public performances.
Lerman will discuss and demonstrate her "Critical Response Method," a system for giving and receiving useful feedback on artistic work-in-progress, at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2. At 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, she will be part of "Liz Lerman in Performance," an informal presentation with four members of her dance company followed by a discussion. Both events are free and will take place in the Hagan Dance Studio, 185 Nassau St.
Over the last 20 years, Lerman has established herself as a leader in the modern dance and community arts fields. She has earned international recognition for her work with the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange as a solo performer and as a choreographer of more than 50 works.
She is well known for her work in finding new ways to make concert dance available and accessible to the wider community. One of Lerman's approaches to opening up the world of dance is through her company, which has been based in the greater Washington, D.C., area since 1976. The dancers range in age from 20 to 70 and have a wide array of cultural backgrounds. In her teaching, she emphasizes the power of dance as a tool of communication and expression for dancers and non-dancers of different ages, levels of training and social backgrounds.
Lerman is regularly commissioned by communities to create new works relevant to their location and history. These pieces often include members of the community in their final performance.
Her visit is sponsored by the Program in Theater and Dance and the Council of the Humanities .

A new smell discovered by scientists is being hailed as the nasal equivalent of white noise.
Researchers from the Weizmann Institute in Israel sought to create for the olfactory equivalent of white noise or white light, hypothesising that just as white noise is a combination of many frequencies and white light is a combination of many wavelengths, an "olfactory white" could be created based on the same principal.
The researchers concocted 86 different odorants, each of an equal intensity. Samples of these were then mixed together to create a range of odor samples, each containing between one and 43 of the different basic odorants.
A group of 59 volunteers were then asked to rate pairs of the samples as to how close they smelled to one another.
The key to creating olfactory white, the researchers discovered, was not the compounds used, but rather the amount of different compounds used.
"The more components there were in each of two mixtures, the more similar the smell of those two mixtures became, even though the mixtures had no components in common," they wrote.
The researchers found participants could not tell the difference between samples containing 30 or more odorants, regardless of whether any of the ingredients were the same.
Samples with this many odorants had a distinct odor itself, which was named "Laurax" by the researchers.
The findings have been published in November 20 Proceedings of the Natural Academy of Sciences in the United States of America.

Yet, Obama failed to act strongly by signing the 1st Porkulus Bill at nearly a TRILLION dollars and now he is promoting Porkulus II. Then there is the UAW bailout that was not needed. Add the fact that he won;t secure out boarders which is bankrupting California and a huge burden on many other states and all tax payers.
China and our other lenders will just string us along and then shut down our credit when they think it will hurt us the most. Yes, we import trillions of thier mfg junk but hitting us economically is more to thier interest.
What we need to do is reduce the money we are spending so that we can get back to a pay as we go budget. Cut all the money we send overseas, stop wasting money on the Global Warming hoax, get out of Iraq and drastically cut most domestic spending. Obama should lead by example by cutting his wife's staff, and quit taking all of these useless trips abroad since he is clueless about National Foreign Policy.
Any idiot can spend money but, it takes a real leader that can solve problems without over-spending.

A friend and coalition member, Donna McFarland, recently posted on my Facebook page that she was grateful that our Ready Set Quit Tobacco program takes a compassionate position on helping people to quit tobacco. She said that we never blame or point fingers, but help from a heart of love. I really liked hearing this very positive observation and I think that's a true reflection of our coalition's efforts.
Donna takes this same non-judgmental approach in her work at the Barbara B. Jordan YMCA to help us get healthy and fit. She is always lifting me up. I'm encouraged, for the first time, to make lasting, positive changes to get healthier and fit.
There's no reason to point a finger or blame someone for smoking or chewing tobacco. How does that help anyone? If there's any "blame" to dish out, it sits squarely on the shoulders of Big Tobacco – greedy fat-cats getting rich off the suffering and dying of innocent people. If this was any other industry, they would have been shut down decades ago. But they have powerful lobbyists paid with big bucks to keep our decision makers right where they want them.
Ready Set Quit Tobacco is working hard to reduce the demand for their deadly products, ensuring more successful quit attempts and preventing kids from starting tobacco use.
Now is the time to get the New Year off to a great start. If you are interested in quitting, there are many resources available to help you quit. The Morgan County Health Department offers "Freedom from Smoking" cessation classes, starting January 8, 2013. Call 765-342-6621 to register. You can also call the Indiana Tobacco Quitline: 1-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669). It's free. Quit coaches are available 24/7. You can do it!

Defending the Human Rights of Individuals Around the World
In countries around the world, people's lives are threatened because of who they are or what they believe. Amnesty International puts protecting individuals at risk of human rights violations at the very heart of our work.
Our campaign for Individuals at Risk (IAR) mobilizes ordinary people to provide hope and transform lives through simple powerful action. We help free prisoners of conscience, people imprisoned solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs or identity. We provide rapid response when detainees are tortured and denied basic rights, when human rights defenders face death threats, when people are discriminated against because they are poor. We act to aid specific individuals at risk and pressure governments to address underlying human rights issues.
Thanks to the actions of Amnesty supporters like you, countless individuals have been freed from unjust prison sentences, saved from torture and protected from death threats. Amnesty's Campaign for Individuals at Risk provides hope and improves lives

I myself just got back from an extended vacation (4 months worth!!!) and I went to some interesting places to say the least. First I went to Guam for 4 days which was okay but nothing spectacular, then I made my way down to Australia where I first went to Sydney for 4 days then a few weeks later I made my way over to Brisbane for 5 more! After that I kinda just bummed around for a month until I decided to go back to Guam for 4 more days then I hit Kuala Lumpur for 4 days. After that I started heading back home.
All in all it was a great vacation. I think I may do it again this fall.

Sanctions have been a major part of the U.S. policy toward Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. This Congressional Research Service report looks at the history and effects of some of the overlapping U.S. and international sanctioning efforts toward Iran's nuclear program.
The objective of sanctions—to compel Iran to verifiably demonstrate that its nuclear program is for purely peaceful uses—may be on its way to achievement but has not been accomplished to date. The international coalition that is imposing progressively strict economic sanctions on Iran has broadened and deepened, producing significant effects on Iran's economy. U.S. officials believe that these sanctions—which are now targeting Iran's oil export lifeline—caused Iran to return to the nuclear bargaining table in April 2012 with greater seriousness and intent toward peaceful resolution. Many judge that Iran needs an easing of sanctions because the energy sector provides nearly 70% of Iran's government revenues. Iran's worsening economic situation is caused by:
- A decision by the European Union on January 23, 2012, to wind down purchases of Iranian crude oil by July 1, 2012. EU countries buy about 20% of Iran's oil exports. This action took into consideration an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran's possible efforts to design a nuclear explosive device, and diplomatic and financial rifts with Britain, which caused the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran on November 30, 2011.
- Decisions by other Iranian oil purchasers, particularly Japan, to reduce purchases of Iranian oil. Those decisions are intended to comply with a provision of the FY2012 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 112-81, signed December 31, 2011) that prevents the opening of U.S. accounts by foreign banks that conduct transactions with Iran's Central Bank—unless the parent country reduces substantially its purchases of Iranian oil.
- The willingness of other oil producers with spare capacity, particularly Saudi Arabia, a strategic rival, to sell additional oil to countries cutting Iranian oil buys.
- Industry sources said in late March 2012 that Iran's oil sales for March have fallen dramatically from prior levels. Once the EU embargo is fully implemented, Iran's oil sales might fall by as much as 40% (1 million barrels per day reduction out of 2.5 million barrels per day of sales). Iran is widely assessed as unable to economically sustain that level of lost oil sales.
The signs of economic pressure on Iran are multiplying. The value of Iran's rial has dropped precipitously since September 2011. Iran is virtually cut off from the international banking system and is increasingly trading through barter arrangements rather than hard currency exchange. The pullout from Iran by major international firms has slowed Iran's efforts to modernize its energy sector and other sectors, rendering Iran unable to increase its oil production above 4.1 million barrels per day. Still, Iran has small amounts of natural gas exports; it had none at all before Iran opened its fields to foreign investment in 1996. Still, relatively high world oil prices have reduced some of the effects of the sanctions.Despite the imposition of what many now consider to be "crippling" sanctions, some in Congress believe that economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran needs to increase further and faster.

but totally not happening.
and word on the street is that it will be a big time club, because it wasn't included in the season tickets, when the charities match is normally a low attended event
The Dynamo really need to invest in a creative center mid. Moffat and Rico Clark are sooo slow at moving the ball and creating anything for Will Bruin and now Omar Cummings. They have plenty of direct and clever players out wide with Boniek on the right and Brad Davis on the left.
Jason Johnson. The reigning Atlantic-10 Offensive Player of the Year scored 26 goals with 10 assists in three years at Virginia Commonwealth University.
"Very, very good striker and dangerous all over the field ... Has a hunger to score goals ... His forte is getting behind defenders and making good runs. He's very mobile ... Very athletic, decent technically and a pretty good finisher ... Dangerous from 30 yards in ... Athleticism is his greatest asset ... Has all the tools. He's fit and strong enough ... At the Player Combine his stock will go up ... Left-sided ... Keeps you honest ... Wants to get the ball and be dangerous with it ... He can go on and do well ... Johnson joins in the attack and helps build ... Good work rate ... Sometimes he does switch off and does not put in a complete effort. He takes breathers here and there. But improved throughout 2012
Yeah, I'm growing to tolerate the white sleeves. They don't look as bad as I originally thought.

When I was a fledgling trainer I worked with the late D.L. Walters at his place for several years. Early on I was having a problem similar to yours, and asked D.L. if I should just stop what I was doing. He said, "Well, you can do that. But your problem will still be there waiting for you when you get back. A better option would be to change how you're doing it, and end up with a trained dog. Training problems don't tend to get solved by quitting. They get better by learning to train through them." I've found that to be good advice.

Agitation is an unpleasant state of extreme arousal. An agitated person may feel stirred up, excited, tense, confused, or irritable.
Agitation can come on suddenly or over time. It can last for a few minutes, for weeks, or even months. Pain, stress, and fever can all increase agitation.
Agitation by itself may not be a sign of a health problem. But if other symptoms occur, it can be a sign of disease.
Agitation with a change in alertness (altered consciousness) can be a sign of delirium. Delirium has a medical cause and should be checked by a health care provider right away.
There are many causes of agitation, some of which include:
Agitation can occur with brain and mental health disorders, such as:
The most important way to deal with agitation is to find and treat the cause. Agitation may lead to an increased risk of suicide and other forms of violence.
After treating the cause, the following measures can reduce agitation:
Do not physically hold back an agitated person, if possible. This usually makes the problem worse. Only use restraints if the person is at risk of harming themselves or others, and there is no other way to control the behavior.
Contact your health care provider for agitation that:
Your health care provider will take a medical history and do a physical examination. To better understand your agitation, your health care provider may ask about things about your agitation.

Spent much of the weekend reading, partially George McDonald's Malcolm (in the original Scots) and partially an unpublished novel.
Most of yesterday and today I spent working on procps, getting ready for a new release. I could not believe how many of the bug reports I had queued were from people whose distributions still shipped the old version 2.0.2 -- 2.0.6 was released last November and fixed nearly every bug that continues to be reported. In the end, I told the polite ones to upgrade and the impolite bug reports I just canned.
Did some work on preparing a bank of IA-64 machines to be used as a compile farm.
Forgot to go to lunch...

Anorexia nervosa, neurobiology, and family-based treatment
|Via Wikimedia Commons
Photo credit: Sandra Mann
Back in 1978, psychoanalyst Hilde Bruch published the first popular book on anorexia nervosa. In The Golden Cage, she described anorexia as a psychological illness caused by environmental factors: sexual abuse, over-controlling parents, fears about growing up, and/or other psychodynamic factors. Bruch believed young patients needed to be separated from their families (a concept that became known as a "parentectomy") so therapists could help them work through the root issues underlying the illness. Then, and only then, patients would choose to resume eating. If they were still alive.
Bruch's observations dictated eating-disorders treatments for decades, treatments that led to spectacularly ineffective results. Only about 35% of people with anorexia recovered; another 20% died, of starvation or suicide; and the rest lived with some level of chronic illness for the rest of their lives.
Not a great track record, overall, and especially devastating for women, who suffer from anorexia at a rate of 10 times that of men. Luckily, we know a lot more about anorexia and other eating disorders now than we did in 1978.
"It's Not About the Food"
In Bruch's day, anorexia wasn't the only illness attributed to faulty parenting and/or trauma. Therapists saw depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and homosexuality (long considered a psychiatric "illness") as ailments of the mind alone. Thanks to the rising field of behavioral neuroscience, we've begun to untangle the ways brain circuitry, neural architecture, and other biological processes contribute to these disorders. Most experts now agree that depression and anxiety can be caused by, say, neurotransmitter imbalances as much as unresolved emotional conflicts, and treat them accordingly. But the field of eating-disorders treatment has been slow to jump on the neurobiology bandwagon. When my daughter was diagnosed with anorexia in 2005, for instance, we were told to find her a therapist and try to get our daughter to eat "without being the food police," because, as one therapist informed us, "It's not about the food."
Actually, it is about the food. Especially when you're starving.
Ancel Keys' 1950 Semi-Starvation Study tracked the effects of starvation and subsequent re-feeding on 36 healthy young men, all conscientious objectors who volunteered for the experiment. Keys was drawn to the subject during World War II, when millions in war-torn Europe – especially those in concentration camps – starved for years. One of Keys' most interesting findings was that starvation itself, followed by re-feeding after a period of prolonged starvation, produced both physical and psychological symptoms, including depression, preoccupation with weight and body image, anxiety, and obsessions with food, eating, and cooking—all symptoms we now associate with anorexia. Re-feeding the volunteers eventuallyreversed most of the symptoms. However, this approach proved to be difficult on a psychological level, and in some ways more difficult than the starvation period. These results were a clear illustration of just how profound the effects of months of starvation were on the body and mind.
Alas, Keys' findings were pretty much ignored by the field of eating-disorders treatment for 40-some years, until new technologies like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and research gave new context to his work. We now know there is no single root cause for eating disorders. They're what researchers call multi-factorial, triggered by a perfect storm of factors that probably differs for each person who develops an eating disorder. "Personality characteristics, the environment you live in, your genetic makeup—it's like a cake recipe," says Daniel le Grange, Ph.D., director of the Eating Disorders Program at the University of Chicago. "All the ingredients have to be there for that person to develop anorexia."
One of those ingredients is genetics. Twenty years ago, the Price Foundation sponsored a project that collected DNA samples from thousands of people with eating disorders, their families, and control participants. That data, along with information from the 2006 Swedish Twin Study, suggests that anorexia is highly heritable. "Genes play a substantial role in liability to this illness," says Cindy Bulik, Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry and director of the University of North Carolina's Eating Disorders Program. And while no one has yet found a specific anorexia gene, researchers are focusing on an area of chromosome 1 that shows important gene linkages.
Certain personality traits associated with anorexia are probably heritable as well. "Anxiety, inhibition, obsessionality, and perfectionism seem to be present in families of people with an eating disorder," explains Walter Kaye, M.D., who directs the Eating Disorders Treatment and Research Program at the University of California-San Diego. Another ingredient is neurobiology—literally, the way your brain is structured and how it works. Dr. Kaye's team at UCSD uses fMRI technology to map blood flow in people's brains as they think of or perform a task. In one study, Kaye and his colleagues looked at the brains of people with anorexia, people recovered from anorexia, and people who'd never had an eating disorder as they played a gambling game. Participants were asked to guess a number and were rewarded for correct guesses with money or "punished" for incorrect or no guesses by losing money.
Participants in the control group responded to wins and losses by "living in the moment," wrote researchers: "That is, they made a guess and then moved on to the next task." But people with anorexia, as well as people who'd recovered from anorexia, showed greater blood flow to the dorsal caudate, an area of the brain that helps link actions and their outcomes, as well as differences in their brains' dopamine pathways. "People with anorexia nervosa do not live in the moment," concluded Kaye. "They tend to have exaggerated and obsessive worry about the consequences of their behaviors, looking for rules when there are none, and they are overly concerned about making mistakes." This study was the first to show altered pathways in the brain even in those recovered from anorexia, suggesting that inherent differences in the brain's architecture and signaling systems help trigger the illness in the first place.
Food Is Medicine
Some of the best news to come out of research on anorexia is a new therapy aimed at kids and teens. Family-based treatment (FBT), also known as the Maudsley approach, was developed at the Maudsley Hospital in London by Ivan Eisler and Christopher Dare, family therapists who watched nurses on the inpatient eating-disorders unit get patients to eat by sitting with them, talking to them, rubbing their backs, and supporting them. Eisler and Dare wondered how that kind of effective encouragement could be used outside the hospital.
Their observations led them to develop family-based treatment, or FBT, a three-phase treatment for teens and young adults that sidesteps the debate on etiology and focuses instead on recovery. "FBT is agnostic on cause," says Dr. Le Grange. During phase one, families (usually parents) take charge of a child's eating, with a goal of fully restoring weight (rather than get to the "90 percent of ideal body weight" many programs use as a benchmark). In phase two, families gradually transfer responsibility for eating back to the teen. Phase three addresses other problems or issues related to normal adolescent development, if there are any.
FBT is a pragmatic approach that recognizes that while people with anorexia are in the throes of acute malnourishment, they can't choose to eat. And that represents one of the biggest shifts in thinking about eating disorders. The DSM-IV, the most recent "bible" of psychiatric treatment, lists as the first symptom of anorexia "a refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height." That notion of refusal is key to how anorexia has been seen, and treated, in the past: as a refusal to eat or gain weight. An acting out. A choice. Which makes sense within the psychodynamic model of cause.
But it doesn't jibe with the research, which suggests that anorexia is more of an inability to eat than a refusal. Forty-five years ago, Aryeh Routtenberg, then (and still) a professor of psychology at Northwestern University, discovered that when he gave rats only brief daily access to food but let them run as much as they wanted on wheels, they would gradually eat less and less, and run more and more. In fact, they would run without eating until they died, a paradigm Routtenberg called activity-based anorexia (ABA). Rats with ABA seemed to be in the grip of a profound physiological imbalance, one that overrode the normal biological imperatives of hunger and self-preservation. ABA in rats suggests that however it starts, once the cycle of restricting and/or compulsive exercising passes a certain threshold, it takes on a life of its own. Self-starvation is no longer (if it ever was) a choice, but a compulsion to the death.
That's part of the thinking in FBT. Food is the best medicine for people with anorexia, but they can't choose to eat. They need someone else to make that choice for them. Therapists don't sit at the table with patients, but parents do. And parents love and know their children. Like the nurses at the Maudsley Hospital, they find ways to get kids to eat. In a sense, what parents do is outshout the anorexia "voice" many sufferers report hearing, a voice in their heads that tells them not to eat and berates them when they do. Parents take the responsibility for making the choice to eat away from the sufferer, who may insist she's choosing not to eat but who, underneath the illness, is terrified and hungry.
The best aspect of FBT is that it works. Not for everyone, but for the majority of kids and teens. Several randomized controlled studies of FBT and "treatment as usual" (talk therapy without pressure to eat) show recovery rates of 80 to 90 percent with FBT—a huge improvement over previous recovery rates. A study at the University of Chicago is looking at adapting the treatment for young adults; early results are promising.
The most challenging aspect of FBT is that it's hard to find. Relatively few therapists in the U.S. are trained in the approach. When our daughter got sick, my husband and I couldn't find a local FBT therapist. So we cobbled together a team that included our pediatrician, a therapist, and lots of friends who supported our family through the grueling work of re-feeding our daughter. Today she's a healthy college student with friends, a boyfriend, career goals, and a good relationship with us.
A few years ago, Dr. Le Grange and his research partner, Dr. James Lock of Stanford, created a training institute that certifies a handful of FBT therapists each year. (For a list of FBT providers, visit the Maudsley Parents website.) It's a start. But therapists are notoriously slow to adopt new treatments, and FBT is no exception. Some therapists find FBT controversial because it upends the conventional view of eating disorders and treatments. Some cling to the psychodynamic view of eating disorders despite the lack of evidence. Still, many in the field have at least heard of FBT and Kaye's neurobiological findings, even if they don't believe in them yet.
Change comes slowly. But it comes.

A 2009 "reset" helped improve relations between Russia and the United States, but there still exists a divide over a variety of issues, particularly a U.S. missile defense shield in Europe. Russia is wary of any potential U.S. military action (Reuters) against Iran, and has also blocked the UN Security Council (BBC) from voting on a draft resolution calling for a transfer of power in Syria, a resolution the United States strongly supports. Vladimir Putin's return to the presidency in 2012 (Reuters) could undermine some of the advances in relations made in conjunction with former President Dmitry Medvedev, who is known for less nationalistic rhetoric.
Though it has, at times in the 2012 campaign, come under fire, the reset has yielded some significant breakthroughs on trade and reducing nuclear weapons stockpiles. And, Russia's recent accession to the World Trade Organization could strengthen economic ties between the two nations. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney sees Russia as a potential competitor and a security challenge, while President Obama continues to look for opportunities for improvement on issues such as trade.

Former Sen. Eugene McCarthy to highlight celebration of Adlai Stevenson, Nov. 9
Posted October 31, 2000; 10:49 a.m.
Former Sen. Eugene McCarthy will join a panel of historians, biographers, and political scientists Thursday, Nov. 9 to answer the question, "Whatever Happened to Adlai Stevenson?" The discussion - the final event in Princeton University's year-long celebration of the centennial of Stevenson's birth -- will take place at 4 p.m. in Dodds Auditorium in Robertson Hall.
Fred I. Greenstein, professor of political science and director of the Research Program in Leadership Studies at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, will lead the panelists in a discussion of Stevenson and changes in the Democratic Party since the Stevenson era.
Other participants will be Jean Baker, professor of history at Goucher College and author of The Stevensons of Illinois: A Biography of an American Family; Alan Brinkley, professor of history at Columbia University and author of Liberalism and Its Discontents; and Jonathan A. Cowden, assistant professor of government at Cornell University and author of numerous articles on Stevenson.
Sen. McCarthy (D-Minnesota) conducted his "Clean Gene" campaign to end the Vietnam War in 1968, which led President Lyndon B. Johnson to withdraw from the race that year. In 1960, McCarthy nominated Adlai Stevenson - a member of Princeton's class of 1922 -- for president at the Democratic national convention in Los Angeles. The convention, however, selected John F. Kennedy as the party's nominee.
The Stevenson panel is sponsored by the Friends of the Princeton University Library and the Research Program in Leadership Studies.
A related exhibition entitled "A Voice of Conscience: The Legacy of Adlai Stevenson" continues at Princeton's Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, 65 Olden Street in Princeton, through February 10. The library is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and until 8 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.

Knutson leads state in scoring, again
ONALASKA, Wis. - Onalaska co-op forward Teresa Knutson doesn't miss very much. The Junior leads the state in total points and goals. In fact, she's scored 51 times in only 19 games. That's 18 more than anyone else in the state.
"I've been working a lot on my game over the summer and now just shooting extra pucks every night to try and get my shot better," Knutson said. "Every night I put in the extra effort because I know our team needs to get there."
"It's her passion for hockey and her consistancy," said Head Coach Eric Bugenhagen. "She shows up early, she was the first on the ice today and she's the last one to leave. She works on her shooting, she's coachable and she always wants to get better"18256302
Leading the state in scoring is nothing new for Knutson. The past two season,s she's won the state scoring title and is well on her way to a third.
"Its actually quite nerve racking at times. People are always out there trying to get you and sometimes they are being a little cheap," Knutson said.
"We've tried to add to her arsenal as far as different types of shots, we're developing her slapshot and we're always trying to make her and the rest of the girls better," said Bugenhagen.
And Knutson wouldn't have it any other way.
"Since the first time I've stepped on the ice I've loved it ever since, it always brings a smile to my face.
"I just want to play college hockey somewhere, thats the dream"

Its been a few days since my keyboard and I sat together and jotted down some thoughts… It's been a long week and a pretty eventful one at that.
Monday we had our weekly Troop meeting, and to be honest.. I have no idea how it went. I was upstairs with a group of parents and a couple of the Assistant Scoutmasters showing what is expected in the type of gear our Scouts should have. In particular the winter gear that we need to see on the next couple camp outs. I thought it went well. It can be an overwhelming discussion to some parents and I try to keep it simple and show the parent that you don't have to take out a loan to get the right gear. I reinforced with the parents that is about the Right gear and Not a lot of gear. To many grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles feel the need to get all the cool gadgets for their Scout and not the right stuff. Anyway, that went pretty good and I think will be an annual thing with all of the new Scout parents.
Tuesday, I got an email from a reader that really made my week. The reader called me an opinionated a**. That's ok, I can live with that.. what really got me was the reader said that "someone who gets paid from the Boy Scouts of America should watch what I say". Now that's where I draw the line. There are many good Professional Scouters out there.. but I'm not one of them. I pay to do this thing called Scouting and like it. I have not worked a day in my life in the employment of the Boy Scouts of America… nope.. I'm just a Scoutmaster, a run of the mill volunteer. And yep.. I am an opinionated a**… but it's my blog and so unless I am spouting off nonsense contrary to Scouting's Values and methods… ahhh.. it's just not worth the time. But thanks for that nice email and I appreciate your comments… Kill 'em with kindness my dad always said.
Wednesday I replaced the continuous ridge line on my tarp. I ordered 50 ft. of 1.55 mm Z-line spectra cord from zpacks.com. This stuff is amazing! It will hold 200 lbs.. not that I will ever have that much weight on my tarp.. but what it really did was cut weight. The old continuous ridge line was Nite ize cord. It is really good stuff too and I like the reflective taping in it.. but the Spectra is super light and tough. I only need 25 ft for the ridge line.. so I configured it like I had the old set up and went from 38 grams of line to 18 grams. Considerable weight savings.. and I am going to need it to get to my goal base weight of 16 lbs.
Thursday my kids ordered (with my help) a birthday gift for me. They ordered me a Solo Stove. I got a tracking number Thursday night and it will be here on Tuesday.. more to come on that one.
And here we are Friday night. I am getting my uniform together for tomorrows Trainers EDGE class. I am helping on the staff. Looks like I am teaching and being a guide throughout the day. It should be a great Scouting day!
I'm not sure if what I am about to say is for public consumption yet.. but I'm going to tell you anyway. I got an email the other day from Chris, our partner with PTC Media. Actually he is the leader of our network, but anyway, after months and months of no contact, Chris sent an email to all of the show hosts of PTC Media stating that essentially we are done.
The network will remain up and available so folks can listen to the shows, but so far as the future. Well, PTC has run its course. So what does that mean for me and my podcast. Well, after all the great feedback I received I did promise to keep it going. I will do one more show on the PTC network and then my affiliation there will be over. I will look for a server or a way that I can run a podcast from the blog but in the mean time I will continue to blog and produce the videos. For those of you that came to the blog via the podcast, please know that the blog was here first and has always been that medium that I have preferred. It was the blog that got the attention of Steve and an introduction to Chris and then a podcast. So the blog (which I pay for) will remain unchanged.
I want to thank everyone that supported PTC Media for the last 8 years and in particular my show. I hope that I can find the time and passion to put more out.
I thank Chris for given me the opportunity and the forum to talk about Scouting! It was a real fun ride and along the way I have personally met many of you and have developed some great friendships. Again.. nothing really will change in that regard.
Well, time to go and get a good nights sleep… I get to hang out with Phil and Adam tomorrow and I am sure I will need all the rest I can get.
Thanks for letting me get random with you. After all… I'm just an opinionated a**!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Nothing much happening at the moment. Doing some interesting work for my company with Java; this may or may not produce any open-sourceable results. Knowing the way the rest of the management think, probably not, but I live in hope of one day persuading them that it might help us :-)
Also doing some not-so-interesting work with Windows, which has let me in for my first experience of MFC. For those who haven't, well, if you like the standard Windows API, go right ahead. If, like me, you think of it as illogical and inconvenient, MFC won't help you much. I despise it.
Had a few discussions with other NASM developers about arranging a new release. Could be coming some time soon, so any users out there be sure to keep an eye open!
In reference to the last entry, I decided to go with LGPL, so anyone out there wants to modify NASM but was deterred by the old licence, go ahead and use it under the new licence!

These are two Browning .30 calibre machine guns from the collection. It shows in the photographs the restoration and before and after "re-blueing" (the final finish applied to the one weapon). The other is "Parkerised" (a greyish finish from the factory). During WW2 they were made by many different industries i.e this one is engraved "Man'fd by Saginaw Steering Gear Division. General Motors Corporation." and is engraved "M1919A4" (Model).
The one under restoration with re-barrelling and re-blueing is from our Daimler Ferret Armoured Scout Car as previously posted:
The last photo shows a dummy mock up Browning in the Ferret's turret mount that is being fettled ready for final refit to the vehicle. The Vehicle also has a tripod for the Browning, fixed to the engine bay armoured lid, so the MG can be demounted from the Scout Car.
The USA Browning .30-06 Cal was originally fitted to the Daimler Ferret on vehicle first issue because there were many left in the British Army's hands after WW2. So it was not unusual to find a 1940's MG fitted in a 1960's Armoured Vehicle, as in our case! In the mid 60's many .30-06 Cals were rebarrelled and rechambered for 7.62 Nato calibre before the Brownings were finally replaced with the British GPMG (7.62 Nato), which is still in service to this day. When the heavy metal floor plates in the Daimler Ferret were taken up during our full restoration; many, many .30-06 Cal brass cases (dated 1968) were found underneath where they had worked their way on firing, into chinks and access holes in the floor! In fact; one of the vehicle control rods was jamming and playing up...it was found to be a bent and crushed .30-06 brass case jammed in a control rod joint!!!!
The M1919 Browning is a .30 caliber medium machine gun that was widely used during the 20th century. It was used as a light infantry, coaxial, mounted, aircraft, and anti-aircraft machine gun by the U.S. and many other countries, especially during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Although it began to be superseded by newer designs in the later half of the century (such as by the M60 machine gun), it remained in use in many North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries such as UK, and elsewhere for much longer. It is very similar in design to the larger .50 in (12.7 mm) M2 Machine Gun, which is also a Browning-designed weapon and is still in NATO service.
Many M1919s were rechambered for the new 7.62×51 mm NATO round and served into the 1990s, as well as up to the present day in some countries. The United States Navy also converted many to 7.62 mm NATO, and designated them Mk 21 Mod 0; they were commonly used on river craft in the 1960s and 1970s in Vietnam.
The M1919 was an air-cooled development of the standard US machine gun of World War I, the Browning M1917, as designed by John M. Browning.
