Watergate figure Chuck Colson dies of illness, 80
LANSDOWNE, Va. – Watergate figure Charles Colson, who turned to religion, died Saturday at a Northern Virginia hospital after a brief illness, according to a family spokesman. He was 80.
"This is a time of conflicting, colliding emotions for all of us," said Jim Liske, the chief executive of the Lansdowne, Va.-based Prison Fellowship Ministries that Colson founded.
"We grieve that our brother, our founder, our inspiration is no longer with us. But we rejoice that Chuck is with Jesus, we rejoice as we reflect on his life and legacy and that we could be a part of that, and we rejoice when we think of all the redeemed in heaven who will greet him and thank him for the role he played in their salvation."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, said Colson's "famous redemption story and tireless advocacy on behalf of the marginalized and the outcast have called all of us to a deeper reflection on our lives and priorities. He lives on as a modern model of redemption and a permanent rebuttal to the cynical claim that there are no second chances in life."
Colson, will be remembered as the tough-as-nails special counsel to President Richard Nixon who went to prison for his role in a Watergate-related case and became a Christian evangelical dedicated to helping inmates.

This is gorgeous. Truly a bountiful holiday tablescape. We have a screen in our formal dining room and love it. I had intended to use it for the living room, but I moved it in here to block a window while curtains are being replaced. I'm crazy about the china, too, and I am absolutely loving the amethyst goblets in the second shot. The setting is perfection.
That being said, I was wondering, Beth, if this is a test. If so, I noticed the taxidermied pheasant in the mix on the table along with the skin rug underneath, but it's not jumping out at you like the bird you showed us before. I sighed with relief, too, since I confessed to you that I have both feathers and skin. ;-)

LISBON, Maine—Maine police have arrested a man wanted by authorities in Colorado on charges of sexual exploitation of a child.
Police in Lisbon acting on information from the Maine Computer Crimes Task Force arrested 48-year-old Scott Helms on a fugitive from justice charge this week.
Police say Helms is wanted by the Gilpin, Colo., County Sheriff's Office on three felony counts of Internet sexual exploitation of a child and two felony counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a child.
Helms appeared Wednesday in district court in Lewiston and was held on $10,000 cash bail.
Police say Helms has lived in Lisbon for several years. They did not disclose the exact nature of the alleged offenses.
It was not clear if he had hired a lawyer.

Edwin Marshall receives IU President's Medal for Excellence
Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie has presented the President's Medal for Excellence to longtime IU faculty member and administrator Edwin C. Marshall, who recently retired after more than four decades of service to the university. The President's Medal is the highest honor an IU president can bestow.
Marshall, one of the nation's leading professors and scholars in the field of optometry, spent the last six years as IU's vice president for diversity, equity and multicultural affairs. During this time, enrollment of minority undergraduate students at IU increased from just over 14 percent of domestic enrollment when Marshall began in 2007 to nearly 20 percent at the end of 2012.
Marshall also directed the creation of diversity plans at all IU campuses, launched and led the President's University Diversity Initiative and worked with the IU Bloomington provost to more than double the amount of scholarship funds available through the Hudson and Holland Scholars Program.
The presentation of the President's Medal for Excellence was made during a special farewell reception for Marshall on Sept. 12 at the Indiana Memorial Union.
"Throughout his entire career, Ed has always reinforced inclusion and respect, and he has been a champion of equity for all students at Indiana University," McRobbie said at the reception. "And, for the past six years as vice president for diversity, equity and multicultural affairs, Ed has been one of IU's leading voices on vitally important issues related to diversity and equity."
McRobbie praised Marshall for his service in the interest of public health. In 2002, Marshall became the first optometrist to be elected to serve as president of the Indiana Public Health Association. The following year, he became the first optometrist in the 132-year history of the American Public Health Association to be elected chair of the executive board. He is also a founding member of the Vision Care Section of the American Public Health Association, the oldest, largest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world.
Marshall was instrumental in IU launching two new schools of public health last year: the Fairbanks School of Public Health on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis campus, and the School of Public Health-Bloomington. Since 2009, he has served as chair of the IU Public Health Coordinating Council, which oversaw the planning for the development of the two schools.
Marshall has four degrees from IU: Doctor of Optometry, Master of Science, Bachelor of Science in optometry and Bachelor of Arts in zoology. In addition, he holds a Master of Public Health degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
The President's Medal for Excellence recognizes, among other criteria, distinction in public service, service to IU, and extraordinary merit and achievement in the arts, humanities, sciences, education and industry. The medal itself is a reproduction in silver of the symbolic jewel of office worn by IU's president at ceremonial occasions.

Our Reviews
Local Movers
I simply cannot recommend Centurion Moving enough. Jimmy Maschmann, their director of sales, personally worked with me through the entire moving process - he walked through my home and provided a very fair bid, loaned me moving boxes that allowed me to pack and move things on my own (saving me money), and came to my new home the day we moved to ensure everything was perfect. They actually packed my old home up AND moved it all into my new home on the same day. It rained all day long, and they managed to leave my old home immaculate, and even power washed my drive and sidewalks to ensure they didn't track into my new home. The movers were kind and cheerful and wonderful to have in our home. When I tipped the workers, they were worried I'd given them $50 more than I intended and tried to give that back. I forgot to pack up my jewelry drawer, and they brought that to my attention to make sure nothing was lost or damaged. Jimmy is just incredible - eager, honest and seems to know everyone in the city. If you are moving....HIRE CENTURION.
Sara Shelby
Local Movers
Centurion very professional. One day move; three story home; very heavy high value items on 3rd level with difficult curving stairs down. Three movers showed up on time and worked hard all day from 9 to 7 and were very professional and took great care with all of the items. Moving is such a hard physical job. Jimmy the estimator very knowledgeable and fun to work with. Moving always very stressful and very nice to work with a group of professionals who care and take care with your things.

Wow...a blog with one entry last year. That might be a record! However, it does not mean that I have not been actively pursuing genealogy over the past year. I have been continuously working on my genealogy. With today beginning the new year, I have been contemplating what goals I have for my genealogy.
My main goal is to go through, purge, and organize my paper and picture files. I have realized over the past year that I have so many duplicates and copies of things that I need to get my files more streamlined. It feels like an overwhelming task to me, but I will be much appreciative of it when I get it done!
I have also had a couple of major (for me) breakthroughs in the past couple of days, so am hoping to learn more this year. One is for a great-aunt who seemingly disappeared years ago. The last that the family knew is that she had gone home to live with her parents after my uncle died and her children were taken away from her. I just found where her father is buried, and am hopeful that perhaps she might be buried there also...I have sent for cemetery records, and will be visiting there next month, so maybe I will be able to learn something. Today, I found an index on Ancestry.com for Naturalization papers for my ggg-grandfather, and have sent away for copies for those. Again, feeling quite hopeful!
My mother died in May 2012, and my father died in December 2013. It is hard to find new leads and not be able to share them with them. So I guess this year's searching will be dedicated to them.
Let the purging of copies begin....

Assets at risk
Scaling into a trade is directly related to how much you risk on any given position. Determining your position size is based on a combination of factors, including the market you're trading, current volatility, trading strategy, your other investments, net worth, penchant for risk and desire for reward. However, a good rule of thumb is a relatively simple one. Trade the "I don't care" size. In other words, trade a position size that is so small that you don't care much if you lose. This will allow a much better chance at remaining objective and doing the right thing. Invariably, beginners tend to enter and exit either too early or too late, and their decisions usually are prompted by emotion.
The I don't care size is much smaller than what most traders risk. For most, this is less than 2% or so of their total risk capital on any trade. If you think you can comfortably trade 10 E-minis, then you probably should trade only two or three. If you think that you can trade 1,000 SPY shares, you probably should trade only 200 or 300.
A trader might ask, "How do you expect me to get rich if I trade so small?" The answer is simple. One of the first steps to getting rich is to remain objective, and you need to trade small so you can do what the market is telling you to do, not what your anxiety and greed are making you do.
Markets and sizing
If a trader is new to scaling into a position and wants to minimize the total dollars at risk, a reasonable alternative to trading the E-mini or the SPY is to trade weekly SPY options. For example, if a trader wanted to scale into a long position, he or she might buy one at-the-money (ATM) call. If a call is purchased on Monday, it has five days to expiration and it might cost 0.90, or $90. If a trader bought the call on Friday, the day it expires, it might cost $30. Even if that $30 call expired worthless at the end of the day, the total loss would be $30 plus about $1 in commissions.
The weekly SPY options are liquid and the bid-ask spread of the ATM call usually is a penny. There are many trades every day of 1,000 or more calls. Trades of 5,000 or more also are common. An individual trader does not have to worry about getting too big for this market.
For the sake of the example in "Risk balance" (below), assume that a trader comfortably can trade 10 E-mini contracts and is willing to risk two points per contract. That means he's willing to risk $1,000 (plus about $50 in commissions) on each trade. The five-minute chart has 81 bars during the trading session, and the numbering reflects this (for example, bar 12 is the 12th bar of the day). The market reversed up at bar 3, and bar 7 was a small breakout because its close was above the high of the prior bar, creating an intraday gap. Gaps like this are important because they are a sign of strength, and automated trading systems often treat them as measuring gaps and look to take profits at a measured move up.
By the close of bar 8, most traders assumed that the market was going higher, even if there was a pullback. The predominant assumption is that any pullback would remain above the bar 3 low where the trend began. At this point, the market was "always in long," which means if a trader had to take a trade at this moment, long or short, only long trades would be considered. Bulls are buying for every conceivable reason, and many have limit orders below the current market price to add on or to get long on any pullback.

The hall of mirrors in which our bitterly partisan politics now play themselves out is a curious place. But even by its distorted standards, the reaction to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan's budget blueprint has been odd, particularly the general reluctance to call it what it plainly is: an attempt to abolish Medicare and gut Medicaid, while further lowering the taxes paid by corporations and wealthy individuals.
Economists already are picking over the plan's dubious statistics, but — as The Times reported Friday — the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has outlined what adoption of this proposal to supplant Medicare with vouchers and private insurance exchanges would mean. The overall cost of healthcare would go up, and retirees' out-of-pocket medical expenses would double — an increase that would push tens of millions of people living on fixed incomes over the financial brink.
The Wall Street Journal tellingly — and correctly — hailed Ryan's proposal for being "as important an advance as the shift from defined-benefit pensions to 401(k)s."
We all know how well that's worked out, but it does fix this plan firmly in the line of initiatives that, over the past 30 years, have dramatically increased social and economic inequality.

Care in Senegal by Amy Montgomery
Amy Montgomery from the UK spent two months on a Care & Community project in Senegal. Here she describes a typical day at her placement.
My day begins at 7.40am - alarm goes and I eat breakfast with the family. Breakfast is baguette and coffee, and we eat on the floor as with every meal. I leave the house at about 8.15am, and am lucky that my school is only a minute's walk away - already it's getting hot.
The streets are busy - children on their way to school, adults on the way to work, taxis beeping and caleches (horse and carts) clattering along the road. I meet some of the children from my class on the way, they grab my hands and we walk together.
Le Centre de Promotion et Reinsertion Sociale is a small kindergarten. There are two classes and around 40 pupils in total. One class is for 3-4 year olds, and the other is for children of 5-6 years of age. On my first day there I decided to just observe, to see what stage the children were at, and what sort of activities I could do with them. I was shocked - the teachers did absolutely nothing with them. I sat and watched the children and they sat and watched me. It made me realise the vital importance of the volunteer's role in such places. There was lots of work stuck on the walls, but as I looked closer I realised it was all produced for the children by volunteers - the teachers don't seem to be interested in providing a great deal of education or stimulation to the children - so that was where my job came in!
The main challenge with children that age is that they speak very little, if any, French. I decided that to start with I would just introduce some structure to their day - school starts at 9am, so we spent the first half an hour of the day singing - this is something all of the children love, and it seems to put them all in a happy mood. We did a variety of songs, such as Frere Jacques, and they were also able to learn some songs in English - the songs with actions like 'If You're Happy and You Know It' went down particularly well!
The next hour I would spend doing slightly more formal work with the children. I prepared worksheets daily, with activities to learn shapes, colours and numbers in French. I would do a short lesson based on the worksheet, getting the children to shout out words and practice. They would then complete their worksheets. I would try and make the sheets so that they could colour them in afterwards - always goes down well!
Break is at 10.30am for an hour - school finishes at 12.30pm, so the final hour would be spent finishing worksheets, then perhaps playing some games outside such as 'Simon Says', 'Follow the Leader', and 'Hokey Kokey'. I found the biggest challenge at school was the teachers - physical punishment prevails even with the smallest children, something which is difficult to deal with.
I hope the children benefited from our work together, I feel I certainly did. They taught me how to think on my feet, how to be very patient, and how, whatever the language barrier, you can make yourself understood if you're inventive!

"The Last Lecture" tradition comes to Loyola University New Orleans
Subscribe to our Newsroom RSS feed | What is RSS?
Follow Loyola University New Orleans on Twitter
Loyola press release - March 23, 2009
The University Honors Program at Loyola University New Orleans is sponsoring its inaugural "Last Lecture" on March 29, at 6 p.m., in the St. Charles Room of the Danna Student Center, on Loyola's main campus. Professor Conrad Raabe, Ph.D., a longtime political science professor in the College of Social Sciences and founding director of the Honors Program, will present "The Joy of Depression."
The "Last Lecture" is a tradition at many universities, in which a professor is asked to prepare a lecture guided by the question: "If it were your last chance to give a lecture to students, what would you say?"
Raabe emphasized his talk will follow in that tradition and continue annually with faculty lecturers chosen each year by Honors students as a way of recognizing the outstanding faculty who have influenced them.
In 2007, the late Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, popularized and gave new meaning to the "Last Lecture," by discussing his childhood dreams, which was made more poignant by his ongoing battle against pancreatic cancer. Pausch's lecture became a YouTube sensation and a best-selling book before he succumbed to the disease in summer 2008.
The event will include a reception and a forum for questions and discussion. For more information on the "Last Lecture," contact University Honors Program Director Constance Mui at email@example.com or by telephone at 504-865-3050.

About a month or two ago I found out I was Lactose Intolerant. Sucks really. I can't enjoy as many of the foods as I had before. I've tried soy, rice, and almond milk and I like them pretty well. But what about cheese and ice cream? Where can I buy dairy free cheese and ice cream. Or even butter? Also, does aged cheese really not have lactose in it? And what cheese would that be...
Sorry for all the questions. Just not being able to eat dairy makes me sad :( Thanks for all your help!
I'm sorry to hear that effects you. my boyfriend has the same, but we're not sure to what level. Milk sets him off, as well as more then a small amount of eggs and too much dairy in other things (certain cheese sauces set off his tummy, but not 3-cheese lasanga, oddly enough!). For us it's been an experiment to see what his body can and can't handle. no tamago for his bento. :(
Are you able to try out some cheeses, or does it make you too unwell? you might be able to narrow down a few types that don't upset your insides.
Slices of good ol' old cheddar or cheese curd have no problems. brie? bring it on! processed cheese slices and cheezwiz seem to be fine, but they are pretty much pretend cheese to my mind, but if it doesn't upset your stomach so much. makes for an alternative cheese flavoured thingie.
ack, sorry to waffle on. D:
I am also lactose intolerant and when I first found out I was so sad! However, I have found you can still enjoy most dairy foods in one way or another. They do sell dairy free cheese (usually soy-based I think) but I hear it is not very good. Aged cheese like cheddar still contains lactose, but a very small amount, therefore most people don't react badly to it. As you can see from the list, aged cheese and butter have significantly less lactose than most other dairy products and you should still be able to eat them.
Dairy product Serving size Lactose content
Milk, regular 250 ml 12 g
Milk, reduced fat 250 ml 13 g
Yogurt, plain, regular 200 g 9 g
Yogurt, plain, low-fat 200 g 12 g
Cheddar cheese 30 g 0.02 g
Cottage cheese 30 g 0.1 g
Butter 1 tsp 0.03 g
Ice cream 50 g 3 g
If you still react to butter there are several butter substitues that are available. The best one I've found is called Smart Balance Organic. It melts like butter and you can even use it to cook with and it works great. It can usually be found in with the tub margerines in the grocery store. If you can't find that specific one there are several margerine-like butter substitues, just check on the tub and it should say dairy-free.
You say you don't mind soy and other dairy-free milks but if you are interested there is an actual milk that is lactose-free. It is called Lactaid and it just has the lactase enzyme added to it so the lactose is already broken down into its component sugars. Most grocery stores also carry a store brand lactose-free milk, it will say so prominently on the label.
As far as ice cream goes, Breyer's has a lactose-free vanilla ice cream. I know for sure they carry it at Safeway grocery stores, and I would imagine they carry it at most major grocery chains. I think it is only 99% lactose free but that should be a low enough amount of lactose that it won't affect you.
And if there is a dairy product or favorite dish you are dying to have, you can buy lactase enzyme pills that provide your body with the enzyme needed to break down lactose. The name brand is Lactaid (just like the milk, same company), but again many stores will carry a store brand that is pretty much the same thing. The only thing to be wary about is these pills are not regulated by the FDA so each pill may have a slightly different amount of the enzyme in it. They usually have 9000 units of lactase enzyme in them, but one pill may have 8000, another 10000, etc. I don't think they vary wildly from the 9000, but it's just good to know. I have been using the lactaid pills for a year at least, and have never had any problems or side effects or anything. The other ingredients in the pills are just the usual stuff you would find in any pill or capsule that holds it together. These pills are especially nice to have if you are going out to dinner and are not sure if there is dairy in the dish you want, and you don't want to go through the process of asking everyone from the waiter to the cook what is in their dishes.
I know this was kind of long-winded, but I hope it helped! If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask, as a fellow cheese and ice cream lover I understand that being lactose intolerant can be frustrating and inconvenient so I would like to help however I can.
I forgot to add this to my previous comment, but you might be able to find a coconut milk ice cream at your grocery store or local health-food store, and it is delicious! By far the best non-dairy ice cream.
THANK YOU! Thanks for your help everyone. This should make my dairy problem much more manageable! I plan to do a little shopping research and see what I can find.
Also make sure you check the ingrediants in all of the foods you buy. My sister-in-law had to go dairy free due to her baby being lactose intolerant.
She said that bread is something that most people don't think of and it will be in about half of the breads in the store.
I have a severe form of lactose intolerance. At one point it was so bad that ANY amount meant serious intestinal problems. (I'm happy to say this is no longer true.)
Test your tolerance. It varies from person to person. Mine was zero for years but now allows me very small amounts. I used to have problems with breads too. Also watch out for some soups that add lactose, that one is very annoying. Not all products labeled as "lactose free" actually are, so be careful there. They are allowed to have about 5% lactose, which is too much for me. The term "milk free" does not mean there are no milk products, just that whole milk is not used. Learn about all the forms of milk so you can spot whey, lactose, casien, etc. Know which are no problem. Casien shouldn't be a problem, but if you are as sensitive as I am, it may still cause problems due to trace amount of lactose. If you are in the United States, learn about the jewish Parve label, it is a huge help.
On the good side are products like Tofutti, which makes alternative forms of sour cream, ice cream, and even some decent fudgecicles (finding those was heavenly!). It is not completely impossible to get a cheese free pizza. A vegan friend proved that to me. I missed the gooey stringy cheese but having pizza and not getting sick was wonderful. Oriental and Middle Eastern cooking rarely use milk except as cheese. But if the restaurant has westernized, it may use milk ingredients. Japanese food requires some care, they have embraced milk more than other oriental cusines. It isn't a common ingredient but does get used.
I'm lactose intolerant too!
Here are some products and tips:
Cheese: Almond cheese is the best tasting non-dairy cheese (cheddar and Mozzarella are their 2 flavors), also try yogurt cheese
Ice cream/Frozen dessert: Simply Decadent has soy, almond, and coconut milk frozen desserts to enjoy ( try the mocha almond fudge YUM). Rice dream is another company for frozen desserts.
Yogurt: whole soy, silk both have a soy yogurt. You could also try Greek yogurt, or and Kefir (only if you are a little tolerant).
Pudding: Almond milk does the best if you are making your own pudding. Soy milk leaves a funny flavor. Zen soy makes pre-packed cups in chocolate, vanilla-choco and banana.
Enzyme Pills: Ganeden Digestive Advantage Lactose Defense Formula is a one-a-day type; It's great around the holdiays, or around big events when you know you cant completely avoid dairy. If you know when your event is happening start taking it 2-3 days before and you should be all set. (drink plenty of water--or you'll have another type of problem)
Milk: I stay away from milk, but its hard to find a high protein replacement. Hemp milk is the best (not the best taste), Almond is next (best flavor), and Soy is third. You could always supplement with protein powders.
Whey Protein Powders: Muscle Milk powder is lactose free. Casein is from milk but alone is awful-tasting. Soy protein powders are ok, best in the non isolate form.
hope that helps some ^__^
Hello Everyone I am also lactose intolerant, there is a product on the market called Lacteeze extra strength lactase enzyme and its great! I can eat any dairy product I want and I feel great. You take the pills just before consuming any dairy product and thats it! The enzyme in the pills helps you to digest the dairy food I cant normally drink normal milk but If I have these pills before I consume the milk I am fine.. hope this helps .. I live in Australia but I guess u should be able to get them anywhere, they are a product of Canada.

DRAFT: Synopsis 21: Calling Foreign Code
Tim Nelson <email@example.com> Larry Wall <email@example.com>
Created: 27 Feb 2009 Last Modified: 27 Feb 2009 Version: 1
The document is a draft.
If you read the HTML version, it is generated from the Pod in the pugs repository under /docs/Perl6/Spec/S21-calling-foreign-code.pod so edit it there in the SVN repository if you would like to make changes.
Unfortunately, calling foreign code properly is quite platform dependent. This means that parts of the external calling conventions can't be standardised. But the parts that can be standardised are specified here.
Specification use
The use statement allows an external language to be specified in addition to (or instead of) an authority, so that you can use modules from other languages. The from adverb also parses any additional parts as short-form arguments. For instance:
use Whiteness:from<perl5>:name<Acme::Bleach>:auth<cpan:DCONWAY>:ver<1.12>; use Whiteness:from<perl5 Acme::Bleach cpan:DCONWAY 1.12>; # same thing use libc:from<C>;
Other Considerations

Ondeo Industrial Solutions Customer Story
- Streamlined document management and storage
- Document volume control
- Solution used by all employees of the subsidiary
- Implementation arouses interest from other Group subsidiaries
Background and key issues
Created in 2002, Ondeo Industrial Solutions, a subsidiary of the SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT Group, partners major industrial players by providing a full range of water cycle management services. Ondeo Industrial Solutions offers innovative solutions, tailored to each business sector, to respond to specific industrial needs in relation to water resource management, raw water treatment, supply of process water, waste water treatment, and evaluation of slurry, sludge, and by-products.
The business activities of Ondeo IS span a wide range of solutions and technologies, including the design and construction of water treatment plants, plant management and maintenance, the provision of related services, and the supply of equipment.
Ondeo Industrial Solutions is present in France, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, and the Benelux countries, but also operates globally under international contracts, particularly in the Middle East and in South America, to assist its industrial customers in executing their projects.
Ondeo IS France has teams of engineers and industrial waste water treatment specialists positioned throughout France so they can stay close to their customers and respond quickly and effectively to their various needs. Its expert teams are distributed across 9 branches and 65 operating sites, spread throughout the country.
In 2007, the French subsidiary conducted an audit of all the documents that are created and shared within the company. They began by identifying the documents:
What kind of documents are they? Who issues them? What journey do they take within the company prior to validation? How are they managed? By whom?, etc.
Three "products" were tested, two of which were already used in the company: Microsoft SharePoint and IBM Lotus Notes. The third solution tested was OpenText Livelink, used by Degrémont, another subsidiary of the SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT Group.
The solution implemented
Analysis of the existing system revealed several dysfunctional areas. Several versions of the same document were stored in different places. The storage location might be on a file server, a mail server, or even on the individual hard disk drives of company employees. It could therefore be complicated and bothersome to locate the final, validated version of a document. Furthermore, the very nature of the company's business entails a need for regular review of historical documents related to customers, whether this concerns a response to a call for tenders or the signature of a contract. As the management of different documents was not centralized, it could be very difficult to find different items relating to the same customer. There was also a consequent loss of expertise and a lack of consistency among documents of the same kind.
In response to this situation, Ondeo IS decided to study what was on offer in the marketplace in order to find a high-performing data management solution that would enable it to store, securely share and manage all the company's documents using a single system.
Several proposals were studied.
In 2008, the Alfresco solution was retained. It constitutes a comprehensive solution capable of processing and streamlining a sizeable volume of documents. The functional depth of the proposal did not involve a complex integration procedure nor did it come at a high cost.
In order to fully and firmly validate its choice, in the first instance, Ondeo IS developed its applications simultaneously using two platforms: SharePoint and Alfresco.
At the end of 2009, the decision was taken to switch all applications over to Alfresco. Once again, the market leader in Open Source solutions for content management corroborated the relevance and functional depth of its products.
The introduction of storage and management of office data files, allowing users to manage their own access, was the first project concerned by the migration. It involved migrating all office documents to Alfresco and using the native functionalities of the product: document versioning, sharing, and searching.
The second project concerned the introduction of data entry forms with validation workflow.
Presently, the company develops its own interfaces using Alfresco version 3.4. While awaiting the arrival of version 4, three new developments are planned.
These involve switching three applications developed under .Net to Alfresco, namely: the application used to monitor the company's major accounts and actions directly related to that business, the sales monitoring application (revenue by site, by customer, etc.) and the intranet which allows customers to consult, as and when they wish, the progress status of their projects.
Together, these developments converge towards achieving one of the major objectives of Ondeo IS which is to streamline the volume of documents produced, exchanged, and stored.
All the company's employees in France, that is some 400 people, are users of these systems.
The Alfresco projects implemented within Ondeo IS have generated interest from other subsidiaries of the Group. The Spanish subsidiary, Akbar, has adopted solutions from the Open Source market leader. Lyonnaise des Eaux, a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, specialist in the distribution of drinking water and waste water treatment, is starting to install Alfresco platforms. Finally, with regard to the parent company itself, a Proof of Concept (POC) is to be carried out at SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT. This prototype should enable validation of a possible migration to Alfresco of a document repository currently hosted on Lotus. That migration will also present an opportunity to add tag functionalities, in particular, to replace the conventional tree structure search with a tag search.
- Implementation of the Alfresco solution has brought much greater flexibility to task execution.
- It has enabled the creation and implementation of modeling tools which have generated increased productivity and improved performance.
- It has generated better monitoring of constraints associated with the company's actual business, particularly where the importance of contractually agreed dates for delivery of documents to customers is concerned, since the delayed delivery of documents can sometimes result in the payment of fines.

Publication bias: medical science is looking for it. Are you?
In the BMJ study, Santiago Moreno and colleagues look at anti-depressants. This is a good area to look at, because of the availability of data that was submitted to the Federal Drug Administration in the United States. Legal requirements enforce submission of ALL data to the FDA, so the authors consider the FDA dataset to be unbiased (although not necessarily complete). This unbiased dataset can then be compared to the data that is available in published journal articles.
The comparison is done with our old friend the funnel plot. This plots the standard error for a trial against the size of the effect that the trial found. The authors of the BMJ study added a new twist by contouring the funnel plot for statistical significance: at a glance it can be seen where studies fall in terms of statistical significance.
The results are dramatic. Of the 74 trials registered with the FDA, 23 were not published. In the FDA data, there is a wide spread of results across the contours marking 1%, 5% and 10% levels of significance. When only the published data are considered, there is a clear cut-off at the contour for the 5% significance level, which is typically used in clinical trials to establish statistical significance. That strongly suggests that publication bias is a serious problem in the set of published trials: trials with statistically non-significant results have been systematically excluded.
What this means is that the published literature over-estimates the benefit of anti-depressants. It doesn't show that anti-depressants don't work: meta-analysis of the FDA data still shows a beneficial effect. The point is that the real benefit (as shown by the FDA data) is less than the benefit you would expect if you looked only at the published literature. Anti-depressants work less well than you might think, but they still work.
The problem is, of course, that most of the time we only have the published literature to work with. So the BMJ paper adds a useful visual technique for identifying publication bias as a likely problem, even if we don't have access a bias-free dataset for comparison. There is no doubt that biases exist in published data; the response from medical science, as seen here, is to try to identify and account for these biases. Regular readers will know that the response of CAM research is to manipulate the data in order to pretend that the problem doesn't exist.

The odd thing about antidepressants is that the effects seem to get smaller at every new trial. It's already accepted that they are ineffective in mild/moderate depression and even severe depression is looking dodgier, as in Kirsch et al.
I don't suppose 'depression' is a well-defined homogeneous condition, but not much can be done about that at the moment.
It may well be that they are not helpful at all. Not one of pharmacology's greatest moments.

David brings up the elephant in the room for psychiatric research. Without reasonably biologically defined illnesses, it is impossible to know if studies are comparable, or even if individuals within the same study are comparable. Especially given the heterogeneous nature of depressive illness, it's very probable that any effect may only arise in a subset of the clinical population. It would be helpful if researchers looked to study 'symptom sets' rather than diagnoses, as has been suggested with schizophrenia. This way there is at least a hope that the treatment is being effected on individuals with the same underlying syndrome.

Actually, Kirsch et al found that antidepressants do work in "severe" depression - nothing dodgy about that. Except their attempt to put a skeptical spin on it by saying that the effect in severe depression was merely a "reduced placebo effect" with increasing severity but they were universally derided for that.
The BMJ paper picks up on the fact that we use an arbitrary p=0.05 threshold for "positive results" and we can use this to examine publication bias. This is a point so obvious that it hasn't been noticed until now - excellent work.
- 8 August 2009 at 18:11
- pj said...
The pretty obvious conclusion for clinical research is that not only should drug companies be legally required to submit details of all trials to the regulator (and all the pertinent data - I believe Kirsch et al still had trouble using all the FDA submitted trials) but that data should be made publically available.
Public interest outweighs commercial concerns about secrecy because otherwise publication bias will systematically misrepresent trial outcomes. It is a simple proposal that is simply politically unpalatable. Markets such as Europe and the US are essential to pharmaceutical companies and they would have to comply - but it is easier for them to lobby and pay off politicians.
Interestingly - when we re-analysed Kirsch's data we found that Kirsch's dodgy analysis method had underestimated the effect of antidepressants more than publication bias had overestimated it.

Schools in New London, Groton, East Lyme, Lyme and Waterford win state honors
Five local elementary and high schools have been named Schools of Distinction by the state Department of Education.
School officials in New London, East Lyme, Lyme, Groton and Waterford were notified beginning Nov. 30 that their schools had achieved the required levels of performance for the distinction.
Schools of Distinction are identified by the state department annually and are placed in one of three different groups: the highest performing subgroup, the school with the highest progress and the highest overall performance on either the Connecticut Mastery Test or the Connecticut Academic Performance Test.
Individual schools were identified this year by using data from the 2011 and the 2012 CMT and CAPT tests. The CMT is administered to students in third- through eighth-grades while the CAPT is given to students in the 10th grade.
The highest performing subgroup consists of two schools, one elementary and one high school in each of the subgroup categories: students with disabilities, English language learners, Black students, Hispanic students and students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Waterford's Clark Lane Middle School was among the 19 Schools of Distinction in Connecticut with the highest performing subgroup of Black students on the CMT.
Another measure of progress used to determine a School of Distinction is a school's School Performance Index.
The SPI is an average of student performance in all tested grades and subjects for a given school. The SPI also allows for the evaluation of school performance across all tested grades, subjects and performance levels on the CMT and the CAPT.
According to the state department, the use of SPI and a school's graduation rate improves upon the "less flexible approach" of No Child Left Behind by incorporating student growth and performance across all levels rather than only tracking the percentage of students scoring at the proficient level.
Connecticut applied for a federal waiver for certain aspects of NCLB and was approved, with exemptions, in May.
New London's Nathan Hale Elementary School was one of 17 schools in the state with the highest progress on the CMT among schools with a SPI of less than 88.
Superintendent of Schools Nicholas A. Fischer said Monday that Nathan Hale is "above the state's requirement" for being a School of Distinction because at an SPI of 81, on average, all students are at target level.
Fischer said that the state's target for all its schools is an SPI of 88 on its 0-100 index scale. At an SPI of 100, students will have performed at the "goal" level on the majority of tests they take. Goal is a higher standard set by the state of Connecticut.
The Lyme Consolidated School, the Niantic Center School and LEARN's Marine Science Magnet High School of Southeastern Connecticut, earned places among 28 schools in the state that earned recognition in the category of highest overall performance.
To earn that distinction, students must perform among the highest 10 percent of schools in the state and have an SPI of greater than 88. These schools also have achievement gaps less than 10 SPI points for the majority of their subgroups and, if they are high schools, have met their target graduation rates.
Niantic Center School Principal Melissa DeLoreto said Monday that the school's academics helped achieve the distinction of "highest overall performance," a category based on student performance on state test scores.
She credited the teachers and paraprofessionals, who have strong working relationships with each other and often teach there for many years, for creating a strong academic environment.
DeLoreto explained that the school treats students individually to "take them from where they are and move them forward." To that effect, the school intervenes when students struggle with academics and provides enrichment opportunities when students perform above grade-level, she said.
Niantic Center School is a school of 197 students from kindergarten to fourth-grade level. The school also follows a "looping" model, in which instructors teach two grade levels. For example, a student would have the same teacher for first grade, as well as second grade, said DeLoreto.
"Everybody works together for what's best for kids," she said.
Day Staff Writer Kimberly Drelich contributed to this story.

The State Department of Education on Monday launched a database that will allow access to two items, a school's School Performance Index (SPI) and its high school graduation rate. To access the database visit https://state2.measinc.com/ct/micpi/.

Columbia Children's Theatre to Present A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD, 2/8-17
Columbia Children's Theatre (CCT), the Midlands only professional theatre for families and young audiences will present the musical comedy A Year with Frog and Toad, February 8 - 17, 2013.Show times are Fridays at 7:00 PM; Saturdays at 10:30 AM, 2:00 PM, and 7:00 PM; and Sundays at 3:00 PM. Tickets are $8.00 for children three years old through adult. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit www.columbiachildrenstheatre.com, or call 803-691-4548. All shows at held at Columbia Children's Theatre on the 2nd level of Richland Mall, 3400 Forest Drive.
Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters, this whimsical show follows two great friends -- the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad -- through four, fun-filled seasons.
Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in their differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe, all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures, weathering all seasons. The show's jazzy, upbeat score bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant, and enchanting musical for the whole family.
The Columbia Children's Theatre production features veteran actor Lee O. Smith in the role of Frog, and CCT Artistic Director Jerry Stevenson as Toad. An assortment of other animal characters--including birds, lizards, moles, a turtle, mouse, and snail--are played by Columbia actors Bobby Bloom, Sara Jackson, Paul Lindley II, Toni Moore, and Elizabeth Stepp.
This production marks Stevenson's first performance in a Columbia Children's Theatre production. "It's been way too long," he said. "If I was going to make a return to the stage, it is ideal that I'm doing it as a lumpy, grumpy toad who's bad at sports!"
The story of A Year with Frog and Toad begins in 1970, when Arnold Lobel's classic book Frog and Toad are Friends was first published. Lobel received a Caldecott Honor award, and went on to publish three additional volumes of Frog and Toad adventures. In 1973, Frog and Toad Together was named a Newbery Honor book, making Lobel one of only a handful of authors to have received honor citations from both of children's literature's highest awards.
In 2002, Adrianne Lobel, the author's daughter, and a successful designer and producer in her own right, commissioned a musical based on her father's most beloved characters. A Year with Frog and Toad, which incorporates stories from all four books, premiered at the Children's Theater Company of Minneapolis on August 23, 2002. The next stop was the off-Broadway New Victory Theater, specializing solely in family-oriented fare. After stellar reviews and a sold out run, the show transferred to Broadway, where it opened at the Cort Theater on April 13, 2003. A Year with Frog and Toad received three Tony nominations that year, including Best Musical.
Columbia Children's Theatre is a professional resident not-for-profit theatre dedicated to providing quality live theatre experiences for families and young audiences. Located on the second level of Richland Mall in Forest Acres, the theatre offers a performance series for families and young audiences, as well as classes, workshops, and performance opportunities for children who have been bitten by the "acting bug." The organization is supported in part by the City of Forest Acres, The Cultural Council of Richland and Lexington Counties and the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as individual and corporate contributions.

If Oliver Stone's The Untold History of the United States has one clear message, it's that history repeats itself. This scathing, focused series explores the dark underbelly of American history, turning its lens on events that went largely unreported or, in some cases, have simply been forgotten during the last several decades. Stone wrote, directed and narrated each of the ten one-hour episodes (dubbed "chapters") with the goal of sharing information that audiences of all ages probably never learned from school or mainstream media. Though Stone's detractors will rightfully approach this series with caution (or ignore it entirely), the acclaimed filmmaker has obviously done his research here and presents each installment in a measured, effective manner that's easy to follow and understand. Still, the series can largely be categorized as an editorial piece, as many quotes and ideologies are paired with similar or contrasting film clips ranging from Zero Dark Thirty to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Either way, The Untold History of the United States remains a captivating and accessible production that aims to enlighten and inform...or, at the very least, provoke discussion.
CHAPTER 1: "WORLD WAR II" explores the birth of the American Empire by focusing on Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. Through examination of key decisions during World War II, this chapter celebrates unsung heroes such as American Henry Wallace and explores the demonization of the Soviets. Not surprisingly, this provides more of an overview regarding certain events to come during the next two episodes, as its condensed format allows little room for more than the most basic details. With that said, "WWII" still offers a good preview of what's ahead.
CHAPTER 2: "ROOSEVELT, TRUMAN, & WALLACE" includes highlights from the historical upset of Harry Truman replacing Henry Wallace as Roosevelt's Vice President during his fourth term, leading to a dramatic shift in leadership that propelled the US towards empire building. It also explores the relationship between the US and the Soviet Union, as well as the beginnings of the Cold War. Relationships between Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill are shown to be an integral part of post-war Europe's division at the Yalta conference. Wallace is championed for his progressive beliefs, and it's later hinted that his startling loss would later be mirrored somewhat during the 2000 Presidential election.
CHAPTER 3: "THE BOMB" explores the strategies behind the atomic bombings of Japan, as well as a new mythology that emerged from World War II. The bombing haunted the Soviets and mistrust towards the Allies grew quickly. The consequences of beginning a process that could end life on the planet are examined. Undoubtedly one of the finest chapters in this first season, "The Bomb" is perfectly executed. The horror of General Curtis LeMay's "Terror Bombing" of non-militarized cities is shown in detail, as well as miscommunication that prevented an earlier end to the war.
CHAPTER 4: "THE COLD WAR: 1945-1950" changes the equation: specific month-by-month causes of the Cold War emerge, as well as the mystery of its beginnings. Highlights include Churchill's historic "Iron Curtain" speech, Greece's civil war and the Red Scare that prompts Joseph McCarthy's rise, the House Committee on Un-American Activities and the FBI. A particularly compelling chapter, specifically the mystery of blame in regards to the Cold War's beginning.
CHAPTER 5: "THE '50S: EISENHOWER, THE BOMB & THE THIRD WORLD" continues as Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles replace Truman. Stalin dies but relations with the Soviet Union turn colder. The H-bomb and the doctrine of nuclear annihilation are explored, as are the Korean War and U.S. rearmament. McCarthyism grows and so does the ruthlessness of U.S. policy towards a Third World. Eisenhower emerges as a game changer. A spiritual sequel to Chapter 3, portions of this installment explore the accelerating nuclear arms race and the concept of fear as a prologue to unjustified wars. Though it feels rushed at times, it's an excellent summary of just under a decade's worth of events.
CHAPTER 6: "JFK: TO THE BRINK" includes summaries of JFK and the Bay of Pigs, the brink of total war during the Cuban Missile Crisis, early conflicts in Vietnam, JFK's attempts at peace with Khrushcev and the President's tragic 1963 assassination. Undoubtedly one of the most infamous periods during 20th century America's development, this chapter does an admirable job of lining up well-researched facts and personal convictions in a detailed, mature manner.
CHAPTER 7: "JOHNSON, NIXON & VIETNAM: REVERSAL OF FORTUNE" shows us cataclysm in Vietnam as the war reaches a turning point and an exit strategy seems almost out of reach. Watergate and the betrayal by Richard Nixon are also covered. Like the previous chapter, "Johnson, Nixon & Vietnam" is familiar territory for the director, but the more measured approach taken here certainly helps his case as a whole. Among other topics, post-Vietnam America is compared and contrasted with the social climate of the country soon after World War II came to a close.
CHAPTER 8: "REAGAN, GORBACHEV & THE THIRD WORLD - RISE OF THE RIGHT" follows Carter's dreams of change and Ronald Reagan's presidency, including secret wars in Afghanistan and Central America. Gorbachev redeems Reagan and fresh opportunities for peace arise, while the debate over Reagan's legacy continues after he leaves office. Among other topics, the senseless and long-running "War on Drugs" (which included George H.W. Bush's later invasion of Panama) is suggested to mirror later attempts of controlling uncontrollable things, much like the "War on Terror".
CHAPTER 9: "BUSH & CLINTON: SQUANDERED PEACE -NEW WORLD ORDER" shows us George W. Bush's doctrine of endless war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the continued cannibalization of the U.S. economy. Squandered chances given by the end of the Cold War and Russia is introduced to American capitalism. A new USA, the National Security Fortress, emerges as the U.S. goes to war in the Middle East and a New World Order is shaped. Though this chapter only spends 60% of its running time covering the Bush and Clinton years before shifting to the controversial 2000 election, George W.'s reign and 9/11's aftermath, the reinforcement of Clinton's overblown sex scandal can't be repeated enough.
CHAPTER 10: "BUSH & OBAMA - AGE OF TERROR" follows the meaning of events up to current times, including George W. Bush's doctrine of an "endless war" against terrorism, the birth of the Department of Homeland Security, developments in Iraq and Afghanistan, the election of Barack Obama, and the destiny of the American Empire. Though portions of this chapter unsurprisingly sound like the New Testament's "Revelations", this first season thankfully ends on a hopeful note and suggests how we can reverse course and avoid the mistakes repeated in decades past.
Warner Bros. presents Oliver Stone's The Untold History of the United States in a handsome four-disc Blu-ray package; oddly enough, no DVD version looks to be available. Either way, this edition serves up a solid A/V presentation, a bonus disc of special features and a practical, sleek packaging job. Fairly priced for nearly fifteen hours of total content, this engaging new series even plays well during multiple viewings, which isn't necessarily the case for most documentaries.
No better or worse than your average newly-produced historical documentary. The Untold History of the United States is presented in its original 1.78:1 television aspect ratio and the 1080p transfer is, more often than not, a clean and stable representation of difficult source material. Archival footage is often filled with nicks, dirt and scratches, portions are cropped to fill the widescreen frame and vintage photographs are occasionally dissected to simulate a pseudo-layered appearance. Though the latter two issues are certainly pet peeves of mine, they don't distract from the viewing experience too much and, if nothing else, occasionally break up the static nature of this presentation. No glaring digital imperfections were spotted along the way, including excessive noise reduction, interlacing and compression artifacts. Overall, it's a solid presentation of material that history fans should enjoy, especially most of the lesser-seen footage.
The audio presentation is slightly more ambitious and, for the most part, succeeds admirable. This DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track is largely anchored up front, while Craig Armstrong's original score gets plenty of opportunities to open up the rear channels. Occasional sound effects have been inserted during portions of the combat footage, including a few well-placed surround effects that took me by surprise at several occasions. Stone's narration is clean and crisp, rarely fighting for attention with anything else. Optional English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles have also been included.
Presented with Warner Bros.' typical no-frills menu interface, this ten-part program is split across three Blu-rays with a fourth dedicated to bonus features. Each chapter is presented with roughly half a dozen breaks and, sadly, no "resume" function is included. This four-disc release is housed in a multi-hinged keepcase, which is tucked inside a sturdy outer slipcase. Also included is a separate booklet / episode guide and a promotional insert for the book of the same name.
Nearly four hours' worth, all presented in 1080p on Disc Four. The main attraction is actually a pair of Bonus Episodes that double as a two-part prologue to the "official" episodes. Dubbed "World War I, The Russian Revolution, & Woodrow Wilson: Roots of Empire" and "1920-1940: Roosevelt, Hitler, and Stalin: The Battle of Ideas", these like-minded chapters are presented in the same familiar format, narrated by Stone and chock full of lesser-seen historical clips and photographs. These are well worth watching and will play just as well if you view them chronologically before the first episode. Topics discussed include the Spanish-American War, the value of imported oil, the Russian Revolution, FDR's landmark run as a four-term President, the Great Depression, Hitler's rise in Germany, Stalin's rule and much more.
Also of interest is "A Conversation with History: Tariq Ali And Oliver Stone" (102:12), advertised as a companion film to the series itself. Very few topics are left uncovered as Stone and Ali (who previously collaborated on 2009's South of the Border) discuss the politics of history, the military-industrial complex, topics covered during The Untold History and more. Historical film clips and photographs are also peppered throughout, typically providing more support for the subject at hand. It's an appropriate partner to the series itself...and a nice little incentive, since it's exclusive to this Blu-ray release in home video form. All bonus features include optional English (SDH), French and Spanish subtitles.
Oliver Stone is undoubtedly a polarizing writer and filmmaker, but The Untold History of the United States is a well-researched, entertaining and highly informative take on the dark underbelly of America's last 100 years. Split into three main parts with a total of ten chapters (along with a two-part prologue on the bonus disc), this documentary series covers a wide range of topics, aiming to incite discussion and interest in most everything that mainstream media frequently glosses over. Untouchables are shown in a new light, unsung heroes are praised and, most importantly, we're reminded that history has a strange but avoidable way of repeating itself. Warner. Bros' Blu-ray package is a keeper, serving up an excellent A/V presentation and nearly four hours' worth of terrific extras. Whether you've lived through most of it or not, even the most casual fans of American history shouldn't pass this one up. Highly Recommended.

Disc Jockey Threatens Lives
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Many people listen to a specific radio station. One morning listeners heard more than just music. They heard the disc jockey threaten himself and others.
People who work at the radio station called the police. They got worried when they heard the disc jockey talking about a fight he had with his wife. He was talking about it while he was on the air.
The police wanted to calm the man down. They needed to be very careful. The man's young son was in the building.
Officers talked to the man. He quickly walked out of his booth. He was taken to the police station.
Nobody was hurt. The little boy was fine. People just got worried and wanted to make sure everyone would stay safe.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Put a baking rack onto a baking sheet. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray and lay the bacon on the rack in a single layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the raw sugar. Put the pan in oven and bake for 8 minutes. Flip the bacon and sprinkle it with the remaining sugar. Return to the oven and bake until the bacon is browned and crisp, another 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from rack, transfer to a plate, and set it aside to cool completely. Once cool, break the candied bacon into small shards to use for a garnish on the tarts and reserve.
Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and roll the sheet out slightly. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 24 rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with a baking rack to help keep the rounds uniform and even as they bake. Bake in the preheated oven until the rounds are golden brown, about 12 minutes. When done remove them from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, add the diced apples and toss with the lemon juice. Add the cinnamon, maple syrup, 1/4 cup bourbon, butter, and brown sugar to the apples, and stir to combine. In a large skillet, heat the apple mixture over medium-low heat. Cook until the apples are tender and the liquid has thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool. Mix the 2 slices cooked and crumbled bacon into the apple filling.
In a large, chilled bowl combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon bourbon. Whip with a hand mixer to soft peaks.
Using the tip of a spoon, carefully remove a little circle of puff pastry from the center of each tart round, creating a well. Fill each pastry with 1 tablespoon of the apple filling. Put the filled tarts on a serving platter. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a shard of the candied bacon.

UFO Club Championships
Many competitors have affiliations with clubs or teams consisting of several dog/thrower pairs. Club Standings are based on the World Cup Points earned by club members in the Open Throw & Catch Division of Major. Each competitor that enters the Open Throw & Catch Division at a Major Tournament will automatically earn 5 participation points for their club* at their first UFO Major of the season, and will automatically earn 10 participation points for their club at each subsequent UFO Major of the season. Additionally, each club member will also have the opportunity to earn additional merit points for their club based on their overall placing at the tournament. Dog/Thrower teams may only contribute points toward the standing of one club or team in the World Cup Series during any given season. Although only a competitor's top two placings at Majors count toward their final individual standing, there is no limit on the number of participation points a team can earn for his or her club. This provision is meant to encourage competitors to travel to other Majors in order to earn points toward the World Cup Standing of their club or team. Club points will be awarded as follows:
|Competitors who claim a club affiliation are encouraged to put this down on their entry form at every UFO Major that they attend. Please only report one club affiliation. The first club affiliation that a competitor indicates at their first Major of the year will carry through for the rest of the year. Club affiliations CAN NOT be applied retroactively. Though we will correct mistakes on the website, leaving the "club affiliation" line blank on a scoresheet is NOT considered to be a mistake. The information on the scoresheet, inasfar as we can read it, will be the official record once it is in the hands of the UFO. Club affiliations are voluntary information; the UFO has no way to verify this information. If the "club affiliation" line is left blank, it will be assumed that there is NO club affiliation for that competitor.

Search Engine Marketing, or SEM, is the method of gaining traffic by purchasing ads on search engines. It is also called paid search and sometimes referred to as CPC (cost-per-click) or PPC (pay-per-click) marketing, because most search ads are sold on a CPC / PPC basis. Like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), it relies on keywords that activate your results into the paid advertising section of the search results page.
Many small businesses credit SEM for attracting new customers. Depending on the competition in your business, relying on unpaid SEO may leave your business far back in the rankings. By paying for SEM, you have more control over the specific keywords that will promote you, as well as where you will appear on the search results page.
The largest search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo, each have fairly simple programs to get started. You determine the key words or search phrase as well as the amount you are willing to spend (per click and/or per day). Most of them offer simple programs that require filling out a form and putting a certain amount of money down as credit. Like anything new, start small with paid SEM and add complexity (and budget) as you learn more and see results over time.
SEM has certain strategic advantages over SEO for particular campaigns:
- Boost Promotions or Sales Events: When you need a lot of traffic in a short time, SEM is a good choice because it will raise your exposure for the length of your campaign. You can control costs by the duration of the SEM program.
- Raise Exposure: If you are falling behind with organic SEO or you want to hit the competition, use paid SEM to get your name and your site above the organic rankings.
- Discover Effective Keywords: SEM can help you identify the most effective keywords and phrases to drive traffic to your site. Subsequently, you can use these keywords in SEO by peppering your website with them.
Don't be intimidated by search engine marketing, it can be a very effective, cost-efficient tool that will bring customers to your site. A big help is that you know you will always be in control of how much you spend. Just take it step by step and explore the results for your business.

What sparked the conversation was an experience Julien had had at a conference he was attending. He went to a panel on racism, and eventually realized he was the only white person attending. This didn't cause any problems; someone asked the room if anyone objected to Julien's presence and nobody said they did. But when this happened he started thinking: what if someone had said yes? From the IM logs (edited for brevity, continuity and coherency; please excuse the candidness of the language used):
Julien: but like they actually asked everyone if it was ok if I was in the room. I was the only white person there
Dave: okay...
Julien: I thought "do you not want me to hear what you have to say?"
Dave: No, it's a valid concern
Julien: well sure. but otherwise i feel kind of like it's a circle jerk
Dave: If there are a bunch of people talking about how they've been oppressed their entire lives by white people, it's not necessarily very comfortable with a white person around
Julien: well ok. i see that point. however, if they can't be comfortable talking with white people who want to listen about how they feel oppressed, then nothing's going to change
So I spent much of the next three hours trying to explain the point of X-only spaces, where X is any given oppressed group. I explained that as noble as it was, his own desire to better himself and to reduce the negative impact he has on oppressed groups is less important than the need for those oppressed groups to have spaces where they can be away from members of their oppressing groups.
So why was this point so difficult to get across? Julien is an intelligent person, and has a real desire to see inequality and oppression end. He has taken modest steps to improve his own outlook and behaviour, and could be generally seen as anti-racism and pro-feminism. Still, there was a block somewhere that kept him from putting the needs of oppressed groups first.
Eventually I came to see this block as one of the more subtle incarnations of privilege. Julien seemed to be putting his own desire to be (and to be seen as) a good, moral, egalitarian person above the desires of the people who are the subjects of the oppression in the first place. This is a cousin to the inability to see, when one does not act in an oppressing way, how one still benefits from ones privilege.
So it is important, when discussing feminism with a man whose intentions are more or less in the right place, to help him see that despite all the effort he might put into being a good person the fact that he is male and benefits from male privilege means that he is still one of the oppressors. I've seen this concept met with fierce opposition.
Dave: So what we're talking about is not the effect that your racism or the lack of it has on people, but your status as a member of an oppressing class.
Julien: sure
Dave: Actually, about six or seven oppressing classes
Dave: So it is imperative that you recognize that you are an oppressor to just about everyone who is oppressed.
Julien: but david, i am not an oppressor. i am part of an oppressing class
Again, difficulty. I try to explain that we are more than our own actions, that we have to accept and come to terms with our membership in a group, that most kinds of privilege -- and the oppressor status that goes with it -- are impossible or extremely difficult to completely purge.
I'm convinced this is not a completely hopeless cause. After all, there are male feminists/allies out here who come from an embrace-the-patriarchy background. So what difficulties have you encountered with this sort of discussion? What have you been able to do to counter them? How the hell do you manage to break through that wall of privilege?

Reviewed by Joshua H. (age 7)
I liked this book because it was funny. It was funny because when Sister Bear went over her bed and made a face at Brother Bear, Brother Bear was the one who got scared. My favorite part was when Brother Bear was making spooky noises and Papa Bear tripped over the clothes tree, Momma Bear tripped over Papa Bear, and Sister Bear fell out of the bunkbed. I read a chapter book that was scary once, and it was like this book. Sometimes when I'm wearing my Halloween costume and I go home, I think there's a green monster in my bedroom so I know how it feels.
Other people would like this book because some of the parts are funny. When Sister Bear got scared and when people were tripping over each other, this was very funny. I think people of all ages would enjoy this book.
