Dum pendebat Filius.
The grieving Mother stood
beside the cross weeping
where her Son was hanging.
Cuius animam gementem
Contristatam et dolentem
Pertransivit gladius.
Through her weeping soul,
compassionate and grieving,
a sword passed.
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater unigeniti!
O how sad and afflicted
was that blessed
Mother of the Only-begotten!
Quae moerebat et dolebat,
Et tremebat cum videbat
Nati poenas incliti.
Who mourned and grieved,
the pious Mother, with seeing
the torment of her glorious Son.
Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Christi Matrem si videret
In tanto supplicio?
Who is the man who would not weep
if seeing the Mother of Christ
in such agony.
Quis non posset contristari,
Piam Matrem contemplari
Dolentem cum Filio?

on beholding the devout mother
suffering with her Son?
Pro peccatis suae gentis
Vidit Iesum in tormentis,
Et flagellis subditum.

she saw Jesus in torment
and subjected to the scourge.
Vidit suum dulcem natum
Moriendo desolatum
Dum emisit spiritum.
She saw her sweet Son
dying, forsaken,
while He gave up His spirit.
Eia Mater, fons amoris
Me sentire vim doloris
Fac, ut tecum lugeam.
O Mother, fountain of love,
make me feel the power of sorrow,
that I may grieve with you.
Fac, ut ardeat cor meum
In amando Christum Deum
Ut sibi complaceam.
Grant that my heart may burn
in the love of the Lord Christ
that I may greatly please Him.
Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifixi fige plagas
Cordi meo valide.
Holy Mother, grant this of yours,
that the wounds of the Crucified be well-formed
in my heart.
Tui nati vulnerati,
Tam dignati pro me pati,
Poenas mecum divide.

so worthily suffered for me,
may be shared with me.
Fac me tecum, pie, flere,
Crucifixo condolere,
Donec ego vixero.
Let me piously weep with you,
bemoan the Crucified,
for as long as I live.
Iuxta crucem tecum stare,
Et me tibi sociare
In planctu desidero.
To stand beside the cross with you,
and for me freely to join you
in mourning, this I desire.
Virgo virginum praeclara,
Mihi iam non sis amara
Fac me tecum plangere.
Chosen Virgin of virgins,
to me, now, be not bitter;
let me mourn with you.
Fac, ut portem Christi mortem
Passionis fac consortem,
Et plagas recolere.
Grant that I may bear the death of Christ,
grant me the fate of His passion
and the remembrance of His wounds.
Fac me plagis vulnerari,
Cruce hac inebriari,
Et cruore Filii.
Let me be wounded with distress,
inebriated in this way by the cross
and the blood of your Son.
Inflammatus et accensus
Per Te, Virgo, sim defensus
In die iudicii.
Lest I be destroyed by fire, set alight,
then through you, Virgin, may I be defended
on the day of judgement.
Fac me cruce custodiri
Morte Christi praemuniri
Confoveri gratia.
Let me be guarded by the cross,
fortified by the death of Christ,
and cherished by grace.
Quando corpus morietur,
Fac, ut animae donetur
Paradisi gloria. Amen.
my body dies,
grant that to my soul is given
the glory of paradise. Amen.

Auto Repair and Maintenance
What You Should Check Under the Hood Regularly
Just because you may not be a mechanic or automotive technician does not mean that you do not need to know anything about what goes on underneath the hood of your car. In most cases, the average driver will literally just continue operating their vehicles without ever checking to make sure that it is running properly until it no longer runs. By that time, the issue that could have been addressed weeks, months or even years ago would have escalated into a full-blown problem that could lead to expensive repairs and even permanent trips to the salvage yard in some extreme cases.
If you want to pursue a lucrative, in-demand position as a mechanic or automotive technician, then you should do so without any hesitation. However, that is not necessarily the goals and ambitions of the average driver. There are still several points that you should learn to check and manage over time that can save you a lot of time and money in the long run. What are some of these points?
Anti-Freeze, Coolant, Hoses & Clamps
Make sure that you check the levels of coolant and antifreeze each month. Use the level markings within your vehicle to know just how much should be in there. Make sure that you only do this when your engine is cool and create a solution that combines half of the anti-freeze (or coolant) with half water. Another monthly checkup that you should make has to do with the belts and hoses. Keep them tightened, because there should never be any more than ½ inches of slack. Do not hesitate to replace clamps and hoses whenever necessary.
Check Your Transmission Fluid
This fluid also needs to be checked at least once a month. Make sure that your vehicle is on a flat surface when this is being done with the engine still running with the car parked. Carefully shift the vehicle to drive and then back to park again. Remove your dipstick and wipe it completely dry before going through the insertion and removal process again. If it is necessary, you can also add the approved type of fluid but make sure that you do not exceed the enforced limits and boundaries when doing so.
Check Your Oil
The general rule of thumb that you should follow when you are filling up your gas tank is to also check the oil while you are still right there at the station. Take the dipstick out and make sure that you wipe it completely clean. Complete this process at least one or two more times to ensure that your final reading is as accurate as possible. If you see that the reading is low, then take the time to go ahead and change the oil before driving any further. It is suggested that you changed the oil in your vehicle at least once every three months or 3,500 miles, whichever you reach first. The oil filter needs to be replaced as well whenever you change the oil.
Check the Air Filter and Brake Fluid Monthly
Replace the air filter whenever it is dirty. This is one of the easiest things to reach underneath the hood of your vehicle. It is normally found within a rectangular box that is located in front of your air duct hose assembly. When it comes to checking your brake fluid, make sure that you clear the dirt away from off of the brake master cylinder reservoir lid first and foremost. If you do need to add fluid, only stick to the type that was specified through manufacturer specifications and do not forget to check for any leakages.
Check Your Wiper and Power Steering Fluid
The reservoir that holds your windshield washer fluid should always be kept full throughout the year as well. Take some of the fluid and clean off the blades with a rag whenever you are checking the fluid levels. Doing so will help you to prolong the life of your actual blades and prevent you from having to replace your blades as frequently. Add these two fluids to your monthly checklist. When checking the power steering fluid, remove the dipstick and add fluid if necessary before you inspect the hoses and pumps for any damage or leaks.
Trust in the Expertise of a Mechanic
Whenever you have noticed that there is a problem or issue that you cannot handle or address underneath the hood of your vehicle, one of the biggest mistakes that you can make is to sweep it up under the rug. There are so many people that end up paying thousands of dollars for repairs that could have easily been prevented if the problem was caught sooner and addressed properly. For example, drivers that do not regularly rotate their tires will be forced to replace them much more frequently than drivers that do. If you do not check your belts and hoses for damage and leaks, this can also lead to serious problems sooner than you think.
The Value of Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is always going to be much cheaper in the long run than these expensive repairs. Therefore, you should always trust in the expertise of a mechanic to address the major issues and conditions that do not look, feel or seem right. Whenever you are in doubt, do not hesitate to ask a professional mechanic or technician for their expert guidance and assistance. Pay now and get it fixed or you will be forced to pay more in the future.

CORAL GABLES, FL — As no stranger to the imminent danger and aftermath of hurricanes, the University of Miami's Mini Canes Recreational Sports Camp banded together and raised enough money to keep its sister sports camp at Loyola University in New Orleans up and running after Hurricane Katrina hit the area over one year ago.
Children ages 6 through 12 can swim, play basketball and tennis, and take part in a variety of other indoor games, at the camp that is run by University of Miami professionals and college students and Miami-Dade County teachers. Campers crafted tie-dyed T-shirts, necklaces and personalized cards for their peer campers in New Orleans. Parents also joined the effort, donating $354 towards gift cards to send along with the children's creations.
The support project tied in with the mission of the eight-week summer camp, "Becoming a Better U," aimed at building character in its campers while enlightening them to new experiences. The camp also provided scholarships to assist children in the New Orleans camp whose parents need help paying for the program.
Teaching children the act of charity at an early age is important to their education and is a fundamental part of the camp's success, says Rhonda DuBord, camp director.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week operation.
PoE technology is regulated in a standard called IEEE 802.3af and is designed in a way that does not degrade the network data communication performance or decrease the network reach. The power delivered over the LAN infrastructure is automatically activated when a compatible terminal is identified, and blocked to legacy devices that are not compatible. This feature allows users to freely and safely mix legacy and PoE-compatible devices, on their network.
The standard provides power up to 15.4W on the switch or midspan side, which translates to a maximum power consumption of 12.9W on the device/camera side – making it suitable for indoor cameras. Outdoor cameras as well as PTZ and dome cameras have a power consumption that normally exceeds this, making PoE functionality less suitable. Some manufacturers also offer non-standard proprietary products providing suitable power for these applications as well,but it should be noted that since these are non-standard products, no interoperability between differ-ent brands is possible. The 802.3af standard also provides support for so-called power classification, which allows for a negotiation of power consumption between the PoE unit and the devices. This means an intelligent switch can reserve sufficient, and not superfluous, power for the device (camera) - with the possible result that the switch could enable more PoE outputs.
Using Power over Ethernet
PoE works across standard network cabling (i.e. cat-5) to supply power directly from the data ports to which networked devices are connected. Today, most manufacturers offer network switches with built-in PoE support. If an existing network /switch structure is in place, customers can benefit from the same functionality by adding a so-called Midspan to the switch, which will add power to the network cable. All network cameras without built-in PoE can be integrated in a PoE system using an Active Splitter.
The following diagram shows how a network camera can receive power over a network cable and can continue to function even when there is a power failure.

Be Aware
Denial of Service attacking (DoS), IP Spoofing, Comment Spamming and Malware programming... are malicious activities designed to disrupt services used by many people and organizations. If you are taking advantage of the internet to run your business, create an awareness of a product or service or simply keep in touch with friends and family, your systems are at risk at becoming a target.
Successful internet "intrusions" can cost you money and even steal your identity. DoS attacks can prevent internet sites from running efficiently and in most cases can take them down. IP Spoofing, frequently used in DoS attacks, is a means to "forge" the IP address and make it appear that the internet request or "attack" is coming from some other machine or location. And Comment Spamming, oh brother...where programs or people flood your site with random nonsense comments and links with an attempt to raise their site's search engine ranking or increase internet traffic to their sites:
"Nice informations for me. Your posts is been helpful. I wish to has valuable posts like yours in my blog. How do you find these posts? Check mind out [link here]"
Huh? - LOL
You may already have defensive measures in place to address some if not all of these things. There are programs, filters and services that you can use to look up, track and prevent this sort of activity. However, with the continuous stream of unique and newly produced malware, those programs and services are only as good as the latest "malicious" activity that is captured. No matter what, it will eventually cause headaches for many people and organizations around the globe. Being able to monitor when something is "just not right" is a great step in the right direction.
In September of 2010, I introduced the Pentaho Evaluation Sandbox. It was designed as a tool to assist with Pentaho evaluations as well as showcase many examples of what Pentaho can do. There have been numerous unique visitors to this site, both legitimate and some as I soon discovered...not. Prior to the site's launch, using Pentaho's Reporting, Dashboard and Analysis capabilities, I created a simplistic Web Analytic Dashboard that would highlight metrics and dimensions of the Sandbox's internet traffic. It was a great example to demonstrate Pentaho Web Analytics embedded in a hosted application. Upon my daily review of the Site Activity dashboard which includes a real-time visit strip chart monitor, I noticed an unusually large spike in page views that occurred within a 1 minute time-frame.
Now that spike can be normal, providing a number of different people are surfing the site at the same time. However it caught my attention as "unusual" due to what I knew was normal. The dashboard quickly alerted me of something I should possibly take action on. So I clicked on the point at the peak to drill-down into the page visit detail at that time. The detail report revealed that who or whatever was accessing the Sandbox was rapidly traversing the site's page map and directories looking for holes in the system. I also notice that all the page views were accessed by the same IP address within under 1 minute. Hmmm, I thought. "That could be a shared IP, a person or even a bot ignoring my robots.txt rules." But..as I scrolled down I further discovered there were attempts to access the .htaccess and passwd files that protect the site. I immediately clicked on the IP address data value in the detail report (in my admin version of the report) which linked me to an IP Address Blacklist look-up service. The Blacklist Look-up program informed me that the IP address has been previously reported and was listed as suspicious for malicious activity. BINGO! Goodbye whoever you are!
Take Action
I quickly took action on my findings by banning the IP address from the system to prevent any further attempts to access the site. I then began to think of some random questions I needed to ask of the data. I switched gears and turned to Pentaho Analysis. Upon further analysis of the site's data using Pentaho Analyzer Report - I was able to see evidence of IP Spoofing and even Comment Spamming coming form certain IP address ranges. The action I took next was to block certain IP address ranges that have been accessing the site in this manner. In addition I created a contact page for those who may be accessing the site legitimately but may have gotten blocked if their IP falls in that range.
Wow, talk about taking action on your data huh?
It is not a question of if, but when an unwarranted attempt will occur on your systems. Make sure you take the appropriate steps to protect them by using the appropriate software and services that will make you aware of problems. My experience may be an oversimplification but it is a great example of how I used Pentaho to make me aware of a problem and take that raw data and turn it into actionable information.
Special thanks to Marc Batchelor, Chief Engineer and Co-Founder of Pentaho for helping me explore the corrective actions to take to protect the Pentaho Evaluation Sandbox.

My debut YA mystery is coming! This is one of those stories written early in my career and revised…and revised…and revised LOL! Reinventing Chloe was written about three years ago when paranormal was still king. The lovely Turquoise Morning Press, who gave me a chance in 2011 to write sweet romance for their Honey Creek Books line, took this on for me. One of many beautiful things about working with smaller press is that they take what they love with less concern about trends. I nearly died when they contracted it because I am a voracious YA reader and calling myself a YA author meant a LOT to me.
It's fun for me to reread this today. My writing style has changed quite a bit in the last couple years. My voice hasn't. I've always written in the hopes of making a reader smile. I handle that a little differently today, but the goal is the same. Thanks to this novel, I went on to rewrite another YA of mine 700 times and finally place it with Merit Press for release in October 2013. And because I loved Chloe so dearly, and the island is in my blood, I wrote a series of cozy mysteries with an adult heroine living in Chincoteague as well. Carina Press picked it up!
So, you see, this book, Reinventing Chloe, was the launching pad, the catalyst for other amazing things in my writer life, and she will forever be special to me.
I love the cover. Once again TMP has nailed the sass. Love it. How about a blurb?
Reinventing Chloe by Julie Anne Lindsey
When Chloe's completely tragic life strands her in an East Coast nightmare, the smart, sassy Texas cheerleader sets her sights on solving a local murder. Sure, her new home has no Internet, her iPhone doesn't get a signal and there's no mall to be found, but Chloe's navigating a new school, new job and a confusing new romance. Her life's officially tragic and she's freezing her peep toe pumps off. She needs the distraction.
When her killer curiosity lands her in the cross hairs of a suspected murderer, things go from no fun to downright deadly. He's determined to get Chloe off his case, but someone should've told him Chloe's bully proof.

Apple's attempts to keep details of its latest iPhone under wraps were temporarily blighted on Wednesday, after the technology giant published four articles about the "iPhone 5" on its website hours before the official announcement.
The articles – including an official press release, titled "Apple introduces iPhone 5", and an iPhone 5 tips page – appeared on the website at least three hours before Apple's press conferences in San Francisco and London.
Eagle-eyed Apple fans spotted that a search for "iPhone-5" on the company site returned the apparently inadvertent links on Wednesday afternoon, ahead of the 6pm (UK time) announcement.
The slip-up is the strongest official confirmation yet that Apple will call its latest handset iPhone 5, as was widely expected.
The Apple rumours site 9 to 5 Mac also reported that a press release headed "Apple introduces new iPod Touch and iPod Nano" was temporarily available on the company's official site, although that could not be found by the Guardian.
All the links returned a dead page, suggesting that they had been launched accidentally.
The internet has predictably been abuzz with rumours about the Apple announcement for several weeks in the run up to the iPhone 5 launch.
Apple's press invitation to the announcement helped fuel the speculation, with a carefully coreographed "5" in shadowed lettering all but confirming that the new iPhone would be given a more memorable title than its predecessor, iPhone 4S.
Separately, the Guardian revealed on Wednesday that the iPhone 5 would run on the high-speed 4G network when it launches in the UK this autumn.
Major telecoms network equipment vendors – which include Huawei, Nokia Siemens Networks and Ericsson – have been testing iPhones that work on the 1800 band 4G spectrum to be used in the UK.
Apple has had similar slipups through its website in the past.
Once, ahead of the launch of a new Power Mac desktop, the images of the product appeared on the company website, just days before Steve Jobs was to announce it.
A vacancy followed soon afterwards on Apple's site for a website editor.


text: This books integrates the histories of United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan to present a fresh perspective on the conclusion of World War II in the Pacific. A major premise of the book is that the atomic bombs were not as important in forcing the Japanese surrender as was the Soviet entry into the war. The author, a historian, focuses on three competitions: one between Stalin and Truman to obtain a Japanese surrender, one between the U.S. to use the atomic bomb and Russia for invasion of Japan, and finally the conflict in Japanese leadership between those who wanted to end the war and those who wanted to wage a final defense. The military and diplomatic strategies and tactics of the three nations are examined from the prewar years through World War II to the final surrender of Japan. Significant events discussed include the Yalta and Potsdam conferences, the Trinity atomic bomb test, the use of that weapon on Japan, and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and the Kuril Islands. The volume contains extensive endnotes from Japanese, United States, and Soviet sources, some only recently released.

During a conversation yesterday, I couldn't come up with the opposite of interesting.
"Initially she was very interesting, and I enjoyed her company. However, a few months later, she became [BUM] not interesting."

October 2nd is World Day for Farmed Animals, a global event organized by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement). This year is the 30th annual WDFA and I bet there's an event near you.
Here in Seattle, at American Gold Seafoods, we'll be holding an event too.
Find out more on the NARN event page for WDFA.
Don't let it surprise you that the Seattle event is at a seafood processor. American Gold is basically a "slaughterhouse at sea." They hold 3,000,000 salmon in pens (with about 1 bathtub worth of space per fish) for couple years, before they're scooped up and killed by their "Harvestor" ship. Factory farms extend far beyond traditional land animals. Fish suffer and oceans are polluted because of farmed fishing.
World Day for Farmed Animals will continue until animals are no longer seen as commodities, raised for their flesh and by-products.
Won't you join us?

Tori Spelling's Little Maven Baby Collection | Pictures
Trendtotting: Tori Spelling to Relaunch Little Maven Clothing Line (Now For Babies)
Trendtotting: Tori Spelling to Relaunch Little Maven Clothing Line (Now For Babies)
It's been a year since Tori Spelling shut the door on her Little Maven line of playground-ready children's clothes. In that time, she's given birth to her third child, Hattie, announced her pregnancy with her fourth, filmed another season of Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, and written a party-planning book. To say she needed another task on her to-do list would be crazy, but today Spelling announced that she's preparing to relaunch Little Maven as a clothing label for newborns, infants, and toddlers.
Little Maven by Tori Spelling — with layette for newborn to 9 months and playwear for 6 to 24 months — is set to launch on Sept. 1 exclusively at JC Penney stores and online. Similar in style to her previous designs for toddlers and young kids, the new pieces reflect Spelling's affinity for bright colors, prints, and patterns. Expect tunic and legging sets featuring zigzag stripes, jumpsuits, sleepers with snap-on bibs, furry vests, and three-piece cardigan sets, all priced from $12 to $20. Given Liam and Stella's trendy styles, we're pretty sure this new line will be a hit with moms and kids alike!

A New Look at Immigrant Passenger Manifests
Many people have found the Passenger Arrival Manifests for their Immigrant Ancestors on the Ellis Island Records site. I have found the Passenger manifests for all of my grandparents and several other relatives. Only recently, however, have I started to take a second look at these records to discover what additional information they contain about my ancestors – information that may be hidden in annotations and even on other pages of the manifests.
If you already have found the passenger manifest for your immigrant ancestor, take another look at the manifest and look for annotations. Two types of annotations were made. The first type was made prior to or at the time of arrival and includes:
Numbers in the left margin (typically 2 to 7 digits), especially on list of ships that sailed from England. This number is the contract ticket number and may be helpful in finding the individual in the British "Outbound Lists".
Rarely, a solitary number to the left of the passenger's name will indicate a Head Tax receipt number.
"Not shipped", "NOB" (Not On Board), "Did Not Sail", or "Cancelled", often with the entire line crossed out indicate that, for some reason, the passenger listed did not sail with the ship.
Sometimes an entire line is crossed out, not because the passenger was not on board, but because they are officially listed on another page of the manifest.
An "X", "D", or "Held" at the left of the manifest, between columns 1 and 2 or in the name column, means that the passenger was temporarily detained or held for a Board of Special Inquiry and the name may have been recorded with further information in a list at the end of the manifest.
The notation "S.I." or "B.S.I." at the left side of the manifest before the name means that the passenger was held for a Board of Special Inquiry hearing and the name may have been recorded with further information in a list at the end of the manifest.
The notation "USB" or "US Born" or "USC" (US Citizen) may have been made to indicate that the record is for a returning citizen of the United States.
The letter "C" followed by a string of numbers (C-######), indicating the Naturalization certificate number, may have been made on the records of returning citizens.
The second type of annotation was made after arrival and includes: Numbers similar to "435/621″ with no date is the New York file number which indicates an early verification/record check. The actual file no longer exists.
Numbers similar to "432731/435765″ indicate that the passenger was a permanent resident of the United States returning with a Re-entry Permit.
Numbers similar to "1X-151593″ indicate that the arrival of the immigrant was verified prior to naturalization and typically indicates that the verification was made after 1926. The first number indicates the naturalization district, the "X", if present, indicates that no fee was required for the Certificate of Arrival, and the second part of the number is the Certificate of Arrival number or the Application number.
The date of the Certificate of Arrival or the date of Application may follow the Certificate of Arrival number or Application number.
"C/A" indicates a request for a "Certificate of Arrival" was made in connection with the filing of papers for Naturalization purposes.
"V/L" indicates a "Verification of landing" was made.
"W/A" indicates that a Warrant of Arrest was made.
"404″ or "405″ is the Verification Form used to reply to a request for Passenger Manifest information to the INS.
If only the name is crossed out with a line or a series of X's and another name was written in, the name was officially amended.
The manifest page for the Siborowski/Skowronski family shows a number of these annotations, including "S.I." showing that one family was sent to a Board of Special Inquiry, an "X" showing that the Siborowski/Skowronski family was detained, and a listing of numbers indicating that Certificates of Arrival were issued for some of the passengers, including Pawel Skowronski.
To find additional information such as the "Record of Detained Alien Passengers" or the "Record of Release of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry", repeatedly click on the arrow to move to the next frame of the film (on the Ellis Island Records site) or scroll through the microfilm to the end. You'll need to be careful with the Ellis Island site, however, since many of the records are recorded in reverse order, and the "forward" arrow may actually take you backward through the pages in the manifest.
Stephen Morse's Website
If you already know when your immigrant ancestor arrived and you know the name of the ship on which they traveled, it may be far easier to use Stephen Morse's website to scroll to the end of the film. Go to Stephen Morse's site, click on Ship Lists, enter the name of the ship and the date of arrival, and click on "Search" and you will be presented with a link to the correct manifest. You may still need to scroll through images to find the beginning or end of the manifest, but on Stephen Morse's site, you can scroll though four frames at a time rather than one at a time on the Ellis Island Site. Since Stephen Morse's site actually directs you to the records on the Ellis Island Records site, you may need to click on the -1 button rather than the +1 button to move forward to the next image if the images were scanned from last to first. If you have the actual frame number for the image of interest, you can enter the frame number directly and jump to that image.
By accessing these images through Stephen Morse's site, you can save or print the images, even though these functions are disabled on the Ellis Island Site.
Furthermore, Stephen Morse's site will provide additional information about microfilms containing the images for the ship of interest, information that may be useful to construct a reference source citation for the manifest image. The Siborowski/Skowronski manifest can be found on FHL US/CAN Film 1399018 and on U.S. National Archives Film Series T715, Roll 333, Volume 580, and Frame 108.
Of course, you can conduct your entire search for Passenger Manifests from Stephen Morse's site, which includes a much more powerful and versatile search function than does the Ellis Island Records site. http://www.stephenmorse.com
Record of Detained Aliens and Record of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry
At the end of a post-1903 passenger manifest from Ellis Island, you may find a Record of Detained Aliens and a Record of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry. Although these images are available at the Ellis Island Records site, the individuals in the Records of Detained Aliens and Records of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry are not indexed and you will have to search for those names manually. Passengers who were dependants of a detained passenger were also detained, but only the number of dependants is listed in the Records of Detained Aliens; their names are not listed.
More Information About the Journey
Finally, by scrolling through the entire ship's manifest for a given date of arrival, one may discover that the ship stopped in several ports along the way. By examining all pages of the passenger manifest, it becomes apparent that, when the Siborowki/Skowronski family traveled to America, their ship the S.S. Graf Waldersee: departed Hamburg, Germany (on the Elbe River) on March 13, 1903; departed Cuxhaven, Germany (on the shore of the North Sea a the mouth of the Elbe River in Lower Saxony) on March 14, 1903; departed Boulogne-sur-Mer, France (at the mouth of the River Liane on the Pas de Calais, a narrow bottleneck that separates the English Channel from the North Sea) on March 15, 1903; departed Plymouth, England (in the southwest of England in the County of Devon at the mouths of the Rivers Plym and Tamar) on March 16, 1903; and arrived in New York on March 29, 1903.

Businesses in the City of Lone Tree benefit from one of the most favorable tax climates in the nation:
Corporate Income Tax
Colorado's corporate income tax is a flat 4.63 percent. It is assessed on Colorado net income, defined as the corporation's federal taxable income, with some modifications.
Beginning in January 1, 2009, multi-state corporations with operations in Colorado are taxed using single-factor apportionment. This simplified approach allows companies to pay taxes based solely on their sales within Colorado.
Sales and Use Taxes
Colorado's 2.9 percent sales or use tax on goods purchased by a business that are not intended for resale is the lowest among the 45 states that collect sales tax. The City of Lone Tree collects a 1.8125 percent use tax on the purchase of any tangible property on which sales tax was not paid. Services are not taxed, only sales of non-food items, with the exception of soda and candy.
Major Sales Tax Exemptions:
Various special districts impose additional sales taxes on the City of Lone Tree, including the Regional Transportation District (RTD) and the Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
Lone Tree Sales/Use Tax Rate At-a-Glance:
State of Colorado
Douglas County
Regional Transportation District
Scientific and Cultural Facilities District
City of Lone Tree
Registering Your Business with the City of Lone Tree
The City of Lone Tree requires businesses to obtain a City business license and register to collect the City's sales and use tax, if that applies to their business.
Business-Only Licenses do not expire and require no renewal. Business Retail Sales/Use Tax Licenses are renewed on a biennial basis, every even numbered year. New businesses are required to submit an application prior to opening.
Occupational Tax
The City of Lone Tree does not assess an occupational tax.
Individual Income Tax
Colorado assesses a flat tax of 4.63 percent of an individual's taxable federal income, ranking Colorado the sixth lowest among states that levy an individual income tax, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Colorado's low individual income tax rate results in an extremely competitive tax environment compared to other states for small businesses.
Unemployment Insurance Taxes
Colorado's unemployment insurance rates vary among established employers,depending upon the history of taxes and benefits paid, and the Unemployment Insurance Fund balance.
The majority of new employers are charged a tax based on three separate factors with a combined rate of 3.12 percent on the first $10,000 of each employee's calendar year earning, as follows:
Specific information on the tax rate can be obtained from the Colorado Department of Labor.
Worker's Compensation
Workers' compensation insurance is provided by over 200 private insurance companies and the State Compensation Insurance Fund, d.b.a. Pinnacol Assurance, an independent political subdivision of the state, which operates as a workers' compensation insurance company. Colorado's rates are among the lowest in the country.
Property Taxes
The City of Lone Tree and State of Colorado do not impose property taxes on businesses. Instead, a typical business would see a property tax bill from Douglas County Schools, Douglas County, and a variety of special districts (such as the South Metro Fire Protection District). Commercial and industrial property is assessed for property tax purposes at 29% of market value.
Lodging Tax
The City of Lone Tree collects a 6.0% Lodging Tax upon the renting or leasing of lodging accommodations in the City for less than sixty consecutive days.

After a brief hiatus, Badger Democracy is back. We'll get to Paul Ryan and deficit hawks in a moment, but first, some announcements.
Thanks to all followers of Badger Democracy for your comments and participation in 2012. 2013 will be a critical policy year in Wisconsin, so continue to stay informed and engaged in the democratic process. To that end, Badger Democracy will focus on media coverage of political events in Wisconsin, and look to fill the void, offering media criticism when and where appropriate.
Next, Congratulations and welcome back to Sly! There will again be a little balance on political talk radio in the state. Sly is taking over afternoon drive time with a three state on-air reach (Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa), and worldwide on the web. Starting February 4th, Sly will be heard from 3 – 6:30pm, Monday – Friday on 93.7 WEKZ-FM. Updates and archived segments will be available on the revamped "Sly's Office." Watch out Rahm and Pat Quinn, Sly can now be heard in Illinois…
Now, for Mr. Ryan. Congressman Ryan rejoined the ranks of "serious people" on Sunday, joining Greg Neumann on Capitol City Sunday. The Congressman from the 1st District of Wisconsin continued his litany of deficit reduction being of greatest importance to the fiscal health of the nation. Unfortunately for Mr. Ryan, he is suffering from DCFS – Deficit Crisis Fear Syndrome.
The President got his tax increase. That pays for about five percent of the deficit, (and) spending is the ultimate part of the problem here that we have to deal with. The President has been trying to hide, or stay away from a conversation about spending. We gotta deal with spending.
I want to do this in a responsible way, but I do not want to let an opportunity slip by to get a control on spending, which we so desperately need if we're going to prevent a debt crisis.
Classic DCFS (Deficit Crisis Fear Syndrome). If using serious language is the new standard for being taken seriously, our nation is in serious trouble. The media in Wisconsin needs to read the memo from real economists, and see through the talking points. The deficit is not our biggest problem. Chronic, long term unemployment is our biggest problem. What the new breed of conservatives refuse to acknowledge is that by creating real, family-supporting jobs and an increase in revenue, our deficit problem will be solved.
Brad DeLong illustrates the point rather nicely today.
…policies to reduce the deficit in the short run–before 2016, say–are highly, highly likely to actually increase the long-run burden of the national debt. Even making the unlikely assumption that deficit reduction in the near future would reduce rather than increase the long-run burden of the debt, the fact is that the debt-to-GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ratio is now stable until at least 2020. A lower debt-to-GDP ratio would be a good thing in the long run, but there is absolutely no urgency. And there is enormous urgency in getting the economy moving again. (emphasis added)
"Moving again…"- as in investment to create those illusive, family-supporting jobs that pay more than $15/hour. The truth about the deficit is, that with the current growth of the economy (as slow as it is) and recent revenue measures, the debt-to-GDP ratio is already beginning to stabilize. Paul Krugman posted the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities graph last Thursday:
The vertical line represents the projected debt as a percentage of GDP. Each colored line projection represents a different scenario affecting the deficit. Krugman breaks down the analysis:
The blue line at the top represents the projected path of that ratio as of early 2011 — that is, before recent agreements on spending cuts and tax increases. This projection showed a rising path for debt as far as the eye could see.
Conservatives are framing the discussion as if that dark blue line represents the current fiscal reality, because it re-enforces DCFS (Deficit Crisis Fear Syndrome)…but that is not the truth of the situation. Krugman continues:
The orange line shows the effects of those spending cuts and tax hikes (Budget Control Act 2011, American Taxpayer Relief Act 2013): As long as the economy recovers, which is an assumption built into all these projections, the debt ratio will more or less stabilize soon.
"The debt ratio will stabilize soon." The CBPP advocates for an additional $1.4 trillion in combined revenue and spending cuts, represented by the red line. As a frame of reference, in 2010, debt-to-GDP exceeded 100% and has been on the decline – dropping to about 72% in 2012:
Based on the factual data, not Paul Ryan's DCFS talking points, the deficit situation, even without any additional revenue or cuts, is stabilizing. It has been stabilizing since early 2011, a fact that is consistently ignored as the media continues allowing Ryan and company to get away with promoting their DCFS talking points.
The runaway debt crisis talking point is something that should be relegated to the 2012 election dustbin. The focus should really be jobs that get the economy moving again, and investment to make that a reality.
With all due respect to Greg Neumann, who is one of the best political reporters in the state, I would suggest referencing the final point from Krugman for his next interview with a conservative who attempts propagating Deficit Crisis Fear Syndrome (DCFS):
…at this point reasonable projections do not, repeat do not, show anything resembling the runaway deficit crisis that is a staple of almost everything you hear, including supposedly objective news reporting.
Fear never solved anything. Paul Ryan and company need help getting over DCFS-Deficit Crisis Fear Syndrome, so we can get down to something REALLY serious – solving our long-term unemployment problem.
Help keep independent journalism alive!

Sullivan family not surprised by NTSB findings
The helicopter pilot in the October 2012 crash that killed Darien resident Tighe Sullivan was at fault, according to a report from the National Transportation Safety Board.
NTSB investigators found that pilot William Ellsworth's decision to continue flying into the poor weather due to "self-imposed pressure to complete the trip" was the cause of the fatal accident on Oct. 9, 2012, according to the July 9 report. Ellsworth was also killed. One other passenger was seriously injured in the crash.
In an emailed statement, Callie Sullivan, Tighe's widow, said, "Sadly, no amount of information can bring Tighe and his enormous spirit back to us. We had long suspected that pilot error was the cause of the accident. I guess the cautionary tale here is for people to demand that any private pilot have completed all of their instrument training on the particular aircraft they are piloting."
Ellsworth was certified to fly airplanes under instrument meteorological conditions -- or relying on instruments to fly -- but he did not have his IMC certification for helicopters, the report stated. NTSB investigators found that Ellsworth did not receive any inadvertent IMC or instrument flight rules helicopter training while at the Bell 407 helicopter training center.
The weather the evening of the crash was like "pea soup," with a visibility of less than a half mile and light rain, according to the report.
"The surviving passenger reported that, after taking off, the weather `began to get worse,' and the helicopter pilot advised the passengers that they would not be able to make it to their destination airport," according to the report. "The weather worsened, and the pilot decided to divert. When the surviving passenger looked out of the window, it was `misty and dusky.' Shortly after, the helicopter struck trees and terrain."
According to the report, Ellsworth could have returned to Somerset Airport in Somerville, N.J., or landed in a suitable area along the flight path, but he chose to enter the poor weather, "despite the availability of safer options and then was forced to divert as the weather worsened."
By the time the helicopter was in the air, the sun had set and there was little found lighting in the heavily wooded area around the highway where the helicopter crashed, according to the report.
"Therefore, it is unlikely that a discernible horizon was present, which would have significantly increased the pilot's workload because it would have required him to reference the helicopter's flight instruments to maintain the helicopter's attitude, flight path, energy state, and altitude," according to the report.
NTSB investigators found no evidence of mechanical failures or malfunctions in the helicopter.
Ellsworth, who was a pilot for American Airlines, was scheduled for a round-trip flight the day after the accident that "likely resulted in self-imposed pressure to complete the trip he was flying on the day of the accident so that he could return home and make his report time for his assigned trip on the following day," according to the report.
After the crash, police said the aircraft was attempting to escape from the weather and land at Mount Pocono Airport, but crashed just one mile from Mount Pocono, a sparsely populated town of slightly more than 2,000 people, located at a nearly 2,000-foot elevation in the mountains. The Pocono Mountains are geologically the eastern ridge of the Allegheny Plateau, which reaches to Ohio and West Virginia in the west and the Adirondack and Catskill mountains in the east.
The wreckage was found in a heavily wooded area about 300 feet from Interstate 380 near Mount Pocono, according to the report.
Sullivan, 51, was returning from a golf outing and heading toward the metro New York area, according to the report. Police said Sullivan was the front-seat passenger of the helicopter.
He was married to Callie, a former selectman and current Board of Education member, for 24 years.
He was a co-founder, managing partner and chief operating officer of WCAS Fraser Sullivan Investment Management LLC, based in New York City and Darien, according to his profile on the company website.
Prior to that, he worked as a managing director in high yield at Deutcshe Bank from 2000 to 2005 and managing director and founding partner of the high yield group at First Union. He began in high yield at Drexel Burnham Lambert in 1989 and was vice president at Dillon, Read & Co. from 1991 to 1993. He was a senior vice president at PaineWebber in high-yield sales from 1993 to 1995.
Sullivan started his career at Chase Manhattan in 1983 and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Colgate University.
"Sullivan walked the walk," according to a release from Colgate University following Sullivan's death.
He worked as an admissions volunteer and was an alumni council member at Colgate. He became a Presidents' Club chairman, according to the university, enrolling supporters in the leadership giving society.
He and Callie had three children, Jessica, Lila and Tighe.
"We continue to be so grateful to live in such a supportive community," his wife said. "While the passage of time takes away the intensity of our loss, we are still fragile, and held up by the love we get from our friends, teachers and neighbors."

Cheese-Stuffed Burgers from the Stumble Inn in New York City
Tina Wong of The Wandering Eater features some cheese-laden burger porn in her review of the Stumble Inn, a restaurant that specializes in stuffed burgers, on the Upper East Side in New York City. Her evaluation of their burger is pretty much the same way I feel about stuffed burgers: "The burger is cooked too well for my preference (I like medium rare burgers) but I know their intention is to heat and melt the cheese within the burger." In exchange for a core of molten cheese, you get an overcooked patty. Still sounds pretty tasty though.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

Capturing a Moment of Experience For me, photography has always been an extension of my travels and of my curiosity. Unlike the artistry of most landscape and commercial photographers, early in my journey with photography, time did not always allow me to seek perfect conditions, take repeated exposures, or make numerous adjustments to the configuration and settings of my equipment. As a result, my early photographs are not so much artifacts, but rather attempts to record a brief moment of my own experience. The angle, hour, lighting, and weather didn't always cooperate. It was serendipity that the composition, color, emotion, and subject matter of some of the thousands of photographs I have taken successfully captured the moment as I...

Supports Special Olympics athletes
SNOW HILL � The third annual N.C. Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics was held Friday from Goldsboro to Snow Hill. It was the first year Maury Correctional Institution�s Torch Run included Greene County Special Olympics.
�Maury Correctional collaborated with Greene County Special Olympics,� said Chariesse Boyd, event coordinator and a correctional behavioral specialist at Maury Correctional.
The 2013 N.C. Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is a 2,000-mile, 14-day torch relay that involves more than 2,000 law enforcement officers. More than 200 law enforcement agencies are represented across the state.
The first leg of the relay started May 9 in Wilkesboro, and the 12 legs of the Torch Run will converge in Raleigh on May 30, with the final leg starting on May 31 at the City of Raleigh Municipal Office.
Officers will run the Flame of Hope from the Raleigh Police Department to the 2013 SONC Summer Games opening ceremonies for the lighting of the cauldron to officially open the Games.
About 40 people, including three Goldsboro Special Olympic athletes, law enforcement from Wayne and Greene counties, Jason Volunteer Fire Department and volunteers, participated in the fundraiser event.
�We raised over $900 from Special Olympics Torch Run T-shirt sales,� Boyd said.
The relay started at 8 a.m. at the Goldsboro Police Department and ended at the Greene County Courthouse at about noon.
The monies raised go to support training, travel and other costs for upcoming Special Olympic athletes, Boyd said.
�We do this once a year to help support awareness for Special Olympics,� she said. �� We get the privilege of sending an athlete (to the Games) every year.�
Alan Jenkins, Erica Walderman and Ryan Hood, all from Goldsboro, are Special Olympic athletes who participated in the Goldsboro to Snow Hill leg.
Jenkins said he enjoys a variety of sports, including bowling, basketball, golf, swimming and others.
�When they see law enforcement like these guys,� he said about Special Olympic athletes, �that big torch right there, the Flame of Hope, they bring smiles to us that these officers care about us. � Without them, well, I don�t know. There won�t be no Special Olympics.�
Jenkins said it isn�t just for law enforcement; it�s for the athletes.
�I just want people to know we�re not different,� he said. �We�re people just like you all, but with special needs. These officers make you feel safe and family. It�s just like family. When they run, we run.�
Walderman said the participants did a good job of running and she�s proud to be a part of it.
Janessa Harkley, 17, of the Revelation Peak Performance Track Club in Pitt County, was one of the volunteers.
�I thought it was a good opportunity to actually do something within the community,� she said, �and it�s with running and I love running, so I thought it would be a good thing to do.�
Her coach is Brad Fields, a case manager at Maury Correctional,
�It gives the community an awareness of Special Olympics,� he said, �and gets us out in the public and gives us a visible presence to actually see a torch run through the community. And it helps build the morale for those who are of special needs and participating in the Special Olympics, itself.�
The passing of the torch was held on the courtroom steps with few community observers.
Holly Aycock, the Special Olympics coordinator for Greene County, was a participant in the relay. She said next year, she plans to increase the community support.
�I hope next year we have more community come out,� she said. �I�m going to help do that.�

Sub-regional Workshop on World Heritage Education for Africa
Malawi, 12-16-July 1999
The Sub-regional workshop on World Heritage Education for Africa was organized in parallel with the 6th bi-annual SADCAMM (Southern Africa Development Community Association of Museums and Monuments) conference.
Objectives of the Workshop
- Creation of an awareness of the project
- Increase knowledge of the World Heritage Educational Resource Kit
- Come up with recommendations on introduction/use of the Kit in SADC (The Southern African Development Community)
- Identification of the need of training
- Identification of possible trainers
- Evaluation of the Kit and Recommendations for its modification
Recommendations of the Workshop
1. The creation of a regional SADCAMM Committee:
- The Committee should be made up of one national representative from all SADCAMM countries. An interim Regional Committee should meet during this conference.
- National Representatives to chair national WHEP Committees.
- National Committees to produce National Plans of Action. Matters to be addressed should include:
- Which different groups to target
- Possible different formats for the Kit and possible local production
- Implications for funding and identification of potential sources of funding
- The National Action Plans should be submitted to the Regional Committee within 8 months.
2. The Regional SADCAMM World Heritage Education Project Committee should investigate the existing training provision within the region, potential sources of funding for training, and the provision of training in different languages
3. The World Heritage in Young Hands Resource Kit should be translated into Portuguese.
4. A possible link should be explored between the SADCAMM WHEP and UNESCO's Slave Route program.
5. There should be a follow up seminar at the 2nd Regional Committee coordinated by SADCAMM, to discuss experiences of testing the Kit and of the progress of National Action Plans
As a result of discussions on the Kit "World Heritage in young hands", participants concluded that:
- It would be unlikely that WHE will be introduced as a new subject, but there is a great potential for integrating the Kit into existing curricula with appropriate training.
- The contents and examples given in the Kit provide insufficient references to the region; modifications are needed to include information on local sites.
- The approach to WHE should be from the "known to unknown". Local sites should be taught first followed by sites in other countries and regions.
46 participants from 14 countries; the workshop gathered education, World Heritage conservation and experts from wide range of professional fields.
Countries represented
Angola, Benin, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South-Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, United Kingdom, Zambia and Zimbabwe
Malawi National Commission for UNESCO

|By popular demand, the sleep slides are on line. Also, Susana (Zan) Barry, from MIT Medical, attended the lecture today. She specializes in stress reduction and relaxation, eating, nutrition, and body image concerns, and sleep health, so she is eager to see any of you who need help in any of those dimensions, sleep in particular.
4 October 2012
Professor Gerald J. Sussman will give the first right now talk of the semester tomorrow, 5 October, describing his ongoing research on his propagator programming paradigm.
The rest of the quizzes will include questions on right-now talks. We anticipate that you will not have difficulty with these questions if you show up and pay attention. We also anticipate that you will have difficulty if you do not attend and pay attention because the material is not in textbook form and in many cases is not in concise written form.
We anticipate, but will not necessarily be limited to, right now quiz questions similar to the questions that appeared on the Quiz 5, Problem 3 part of the 2011 final, which was given in connection with the single guest lecture in 2011.
Experimentally, Professor Winston will meet with students interested in discussing Professor Sussman's talk at 3-4pm in room 4-231. This is an optional offering that will be continued or expanded to additional times depending on demonstrated interest.
1 October 2012
Quiz 1 will be returned in tutorials Monday and Tuesday. Thresholds are:
|Thorough understanding
|Adequate understanding
|Needs work
|Problem 1 Rules
|≥ 46
|≥ 40
|≥ 33
|Problem 2 Search
|≥ 43
|≥ 38
|≥ 31
|≥ 89
|≥ 78
|≥ 64
16 September 2012
Lab 1 is released.
5 September 2012
Lab 0 is released. Click on Labs link above.
If you were unable to give us a tutorial scheduling form, please fill out and bring to 32-251 as soon as practicable. If you can bring it today, you will be in the initial assignment list.
We inadvertently scheduled the first quiz for Yom Kippur. For students celebrating the Jewish Holiday, the quiz will be scheduled for Friday, 28 September.
4 September 2012
Registrar promises to schedule final by 5:00 PM on September 20, 2012.
3 September 2012
There is no Friday lecture this week.
The official language of 6.034 is Python for a variety of reasons having little to do with the strengths and weaknesses of the language. We expect a focused weekend with any of the many Python books would be adequate preparation. See, for example, the Amazon list.
Alternatively, you can follow one of the suggestions:
- Notes that have been used in 6.00 has been expanded into a book called Think Python. It's online. It is targeted at people who have not programmed much or at all.
- Another choice is the O'Reilly book Learning Python. MIT has a subscription to O'Reilly, so anyone with an MIT IP address can read the book online.

Civil rights eroded in U.S.
One thing I heard little or nothing about in the groundbreaking 2008 elections, was the disastrous erosion of civil rights in this country.
Nor have I heard any subsequent discussion of George W. Bush's assault on the Constitution, which he called a "(deleted) piece of paper."
Barack Obama is moving into an Imperial Presidency that would have warmed Richard Nixon's heart.

I appreciate those muscled, highly-disciplined Olympian athletes I mean, if I actually had a TV and time to watch the Olympics, I might.
But I cant help wanting to give gold medals to, say, my friend, Kati, who, when her 4-year-old son rages at her, turns herself into the human equivalent of a padded envelope: a safe, neutral place to contain all his emotions. A gold medal goes to another friend, who is exercising grace, courage and tremendous compassion for her son, who at 5 feels certain that inside he is a girl. There is no amount of training, preparation or discipline that ever prepares us for the curveballs of our children. And yet, at our best, we meet these challenges with love and a willingness to grow into the parents our children need.
Heres the top categories of the Parenting Olympics; medals for everybody:
1) Wringing three meals a day (plus snacks) out of an empty pantry after day No. 4 of needing desperately to go food shopping.
2) Changing a toddlers blueberry-storm of a diaper while pregnant (gag) in the first trimester.
3) Playing game VIIXXV of Candyland with a smile while your brain is oozing out of your ears and puddling onto the floor.
4) Keeping track of everyones nighttime lovies with the fervor of secret service.
5) Explaining sex, death and menstruation to curious little people in terms they can digest.
6) Being the receptacle for any and all of your childs bodily fluids at one time or another.
7) Serving vegetables new vegetables, preciously cut vegetables, your own garden vegetables every night, despite knowing your kids just want to stuff their face with white carbohydrates.
8) Scraping your body off the floor when youre depressed, sick, grieving, miscarrying, under stress and tired as the walking dead, to care for your children.
9) Forfeiting a romantic encounter to put someone back to bed, again. Becoming a high-demand relationship counselor, with nothing more than on-the-job training, to referee, break up and debrief fights among siblings.
10) Managing irrational fears, like worrying that because your 7-year-old isnt interested in reading, that hell still be sounding out two-syllable words at 40.
11) Knowing that your impetuous 2-year-old, limit-pushing 4-year-old, defiant 7-year-old, sassy 12-year-old and law-breaking 17-year-old is the same precious, innocent newborn you once gazed at, besotted out of your sleep-deprived head, needing as much unconditional love from you now as in those beginning days.
12) Becoming the ultimate shape-shifter to continually meet the evolving needs of your child.
As novelist Sloan Wilson said: The hardest part of raising children is teaching them to ride bicycles ... a shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard.

I know it sounds subjective but its not meant to be. I am very new to ripping CD's using iTunes, and I'm confused over the different formats available. I have read Wikipedia regarding the AAC and Apple Lossless Formats (ALAC).
I read that Apple claims that ALAC is about 1/2 the size of other formats, but with my test, the ALAC files were huge! I cant rip them all and have room for all of my music on my phone at those sizes.
I do think they sounded better than AAC or MP3, however.What is the best format/bit rate in iTunes to rip CD's in, also considering the space and quality factors? Also, am I really losing any quality at all with AAC or MP3?
