Your editorial of Sept. 9 ("Government should not require FM radios on cell phones") made the case that "over the air" radio receivers should not be in cell phones because they might "drain the battery" in an emergency.
The case for over the air radios in cell phones is the extreme emergencies of recent years: Katrina, Haiti, Chile and our own ice storm of 2009. In those extreme cases there was no electricity, Internet, cell phones, regular telephones or cable.
The only communications left standing was what we know as over the air radio, something we all take for granted and that is free to the listener. During the local ice storm of 2009, Tell City was much less affected than those out in the county or those in Hancock and Daviess counties.
The Kentucky side of the Ohio River lost everything for days. WTCJ, WLME, WBIO and WXCM had generator power and simulcast emergency information for a full week 24 hours a day. For many on the Kentucky side and parts of the Indiana side that were affected, our radio stations and staff were the only contact for official and unofficial emergency communication.
Cellular telephone service was among the first services to go down, followed by everything else.
Had there been "over-the-air" radios in cell phones, virtually everyone could have been communicated with by local officials. That was not the case because not all homes had battery radios and the electricity was out and it was very cold outside. This was particularly tough for older citizens in isolated areas.
A radio in a cell phone could have made a difference for many.
With cellular phone service not operating, the cell phone was good for nothing to its owner until the cell service was restored several days later.
The case for "over-the-air" radios in cell phones is something we have all experienced and what we need to prepare for. Our new technologies are wonderful, but vulnerable.
There are 13,000 radio stations in America. History shows that they can be counted upon in time of emergency.
In most foreign countries cell phones already have radios and are well used. We should have that in the United States. We don't because the telephone companies all develop their own cell phone criteria. That is not true overseas.
Cellular telephone carriers, Internet providers, and cable companies cannot guarantee communications in a crisis.
That makes radios and radios in cell phones that receive an over-the-air signal all that more important to the safety of our families.
Thank you for your point of view. I hope these comments make sense.
We especially hope your cell phone will soon have a radio in it. We all need to be prepared for the next emergency like we experienced with the ice storm of 2009. We will do our best to be there when you need us.

President, Hancock Communications Inc.

This next tutorial was a highly requested lesson on a particular character from the ever popular song and video that is screaming through the You Tube airways. I am going to show you "how to draw Gummy Bear" from the song I'm a Gummy Bear step by step. There really isn't too much to say about this character since he was made up by a an individual with no history as of yet. He is seen dancing and singing the song and it is pretty funny and addictive. His real name is GUMMIBÄR and I can't believe such a simple character blew up so fast. You can even buy a plushy on him. I really don't know what else to say except I will show you "how to draw Gummy Bear" from the hit song I'm a GUMMIBÄR step by step. I hope you guys like this tutorial, it was fun to draw and even more fun to color. Peace out and happy drawing.

Seniors from the only area high school field hockey teams reflect on sport.
Don�t let the skirts fool you.
According to a few Arendell Parrott Academy seniors, field hockey is not for the weak or imprudent. The girls said their sport is hard-hitting --- literally --- unique and overlooked. In most places, it�s a male-dominated sport, as field hockey became popular in the 1930s among English men.
But as the only area school with a field hockey team, the girls at Parrott want to leave their mark and see the sport grow in Lenoir County.
�I want to come back (to Parrott) and see the field hockey team be bigger,� said senior goalie Mary Stuart Stroud. �At our school, they respect us and treat us as a sport, but we�re kind of a like a side sport.
�We have to fight for it. We have to fight to get attention.�
Skirts and cleats
More than a dozen girls comprise APA�s distinctive field hockey team. Members say their sport is popular in the Northern and Western parts of the country.
Outside of Wayne County Day School, Parrott�s closest competition is often more than an hour away, and it regularly faces competition from schools twice as large. Because of its rareness, the team becomes a tight-knit group.
�We�re the only ones in our area,� said Alicia Jones, a senior forward. �A lot of people, you hear them say, �I played soccer when I was younger, or I played basketball.� But you don�t hear a lot of people say they played field hockey.
�You get really good at it; not just anybody can pick up a stick and go out there.�
The group described field hockey as a variation between soccer, ice hockey and even golf. Eleven players, including a goalie, take the field and can only use the flat side of their sticks to move the ball and attempt goals --- but the dense instructions are complex, the team said.
�There are complicated rules, and they change every year,� said senior forward Devin Whitlark. �A lot of the sport has to do with communication on the field, so it�s important that you l know your teammates.
�It�s a smart-girl sport.�
Members from the Parrott team (6-5) agreed field hockey was more popular as a man�s sport. Some have even challenged their male classmates to make a play on the field --- but they�ve declined.
�It�s a lot tougher than (people) think it is,� Stroud said of a game where players compete for the majority of the match with their knees bent.
Morgan Newell, who briefly mentioned the possibility of playing collegiately in Massachusetts, said girls in field hockey are taken for granted.
�We really are up and coming,� she said. �I�ve seen guys take the ball from one end of the field and throw it to the other end, but I�ve also seen girls who can do the same thing.�
The toughness
Stroud is unrecognizable beneath her loaded goalie gear.
Newellsat out against WCDS last week due to a concussion.
Senior Anna Salethought she suffered a head injury that would also bench her after she was hit with a ball.
Whitlark broke a competitor�s nose two years ago, around the same time field hockey�s goggles rule was implemented. In 2011, it became a requirement for high school field hockey players to wear protective eye year during games.
�I go to some soccer games, I see guys fall over and I�m just like: �Really? Come on,� � Jones said.
The field hockey girls play with a ball filled with concrete and against opponents in what Newellcalled a �wrestling match.�
�I have goalie friends who come home with bruises the size of apples on their legs, just from being hit repeatedly,� she said. �We�re tough girls. Girls have to be tough period. You see guys fake it a lot. They will fake falling down, they will fake getting hurt, but girls will get back up.
�When I got my concussion, I asked my coach to put me back in.�
Aside from the physical pressures on the field, the girls strive to maintain a balance between field hockey and academics. The senior have lofty career goals --- from law and business to biomedical engineering, so the future of their field hockey careers will likely be limited to club teams, if at all.
�I�ve seen people who play in college, and they�re serious about it,� Stroud said. �You have to devote your life to it.�
Teammate Jones concurred saying, �You�re constantly playing all year; your whole life is field hockey.�
The team recognized the strain that comes with balancing sports and school, even on a high school level. For Newell, who may have an opportunity to play in college, her �aspirations for a career� outweigh her desire to compete in field hockey.
While the seniors wrap up their final season of field hockey, they hope to become a lasting folklore as they part ways with Parrott. Most players have been on the team since seventh grade.
The future
Linda Whitlark, Devin�s mother, has been involved with the Parrott program for about 10 years, with this season being her first as the head coach. She said APA has one of three teams east of I-95 and has seen field hockey in the area bloom.
�More and more girls are coming out for the team,� Whitlark said. �The last 10 years, we�ve gotten parents on board and we�re really excited about it.�
As for the team this year, she said the girls have been completely committed to field hockey and the art of teamwork.
Last season, Parrott earned field hockey�s first plaque decal in making a playoffs run.
�I feel like the more we�ve gotten to know each other, our teamwork has really improved,� Devin Whitlark said. �But I want to leave it all on the field. It�s a sport where you can go out and give it your all, and you feel good about that.�
As Anna Sale chases art, as Alicia Jones pursues business, as Devin Whitlark prepares for biomedical engineering, as Morgan Newell decides on a law practice and as Mary Stuart Stroud hunts a physical therapy career --- the girls will always remember their time on the field hockey team at Parrott.
�You can say all the clich�s in the world,� Newell said, �but the bottom line is we want to make a name for ourselves in the school.�

At UIC, there's a lot to learn
University of Illinois at Chicago features 16 academic colleges, 86 bachelor's, 111 master's and 66 doctoral degree programs. That means plenty of opportunities to explore your interests.
Our faculty
At UIC, you'll learn from award-winning professors: American Association for the Advancement of Science fellows, Fulbright scholars and National Science Foundation Career Award winners.
With nearly 2,821 faculty members and a low 1-to-18 faculty-student ratio, UIC undergraduates have exceptional access to the scientists, artists, writers, clinicians, educators and innovators whose work shapes our world.
Arts and humanities
UIC courses in the arts and humanities help students develop critical-thinking skills and a comprehensive world view.
The College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts is a diverse community of artists, architects, designers and performers. Humanities studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences — including the School of Literatures, Cultural Studies and Linguistics — reflect the global identities of UIC and Chicago.
Be innovative
The UIC Innovation Center is a place for collaboration, education and incubation that brings together industry, educators and students to find solutions to real-world problems. Students in the MAD Lab (Medical Accelerator for Devices) created a diagnostic tool for women's health exams.
Basic and social sciences
Whether you want to view the world through an electron microscope or the perspective of an entire culture, UIC offers a broad range of programs in the basic and social sciences. UIC researchers study important issues like energy production and conservation, the survival of wildlife in the city, the cultures of lost Amazonian civilizations and the behaviors that surround binge-drinking. Their work translates into classroom learning and student research opportunities.
UIC produces leaders for the global economy of the future. The College of Business Administration reinforces the core disciplines — accounting, finance, information and decision sciences, marketing and management — with solid, real-world experience.
For students whose career goals expand beyond one area of study, UIC offers joint degree options that combine business with medicine, public health, pharmacy, economics, nursing and management information systems.
See the futures
Today's financial trading relies on high-speed software and instant access to real-time information from enormous volumes of data. In its market training lab, UIC's International Center for Futures and Derivatives teaches students in an environment that simulates the trading room at a big investment firm.
Computing and engineering
UIC is a place where ideas become reality. Researchers are designing more efficient batteries and more powerful computer chips, finding better ways to manage storm water surge and making microelectronics for space exploration. If you're interested in computer science — gaming, manipulation of big data, computers that understand natural language or visualization, securing healthcare data, the intersection of art and science — you'll find it at UIC.
Health sciences
UIC's health sciences colleges emphasize clinical skills, research and community focus. You can prepare for a wide range of health careers in one of the applied health sciences, dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health or social work. Ten pre-health programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences prepare students for future study in UIC health sciences programs and veterinary medicine.
For students whose goals expand beyond one area of study, UIC offers joint degrees that combine health care studies with other disciplines. The Medical Scientist Training Program is an MD/Ph.D. program for physician-scientists. Bioengineering, a department in both the colleges of Medicine and Engineering, trains students for careers in the growing biomedical field.
Center for Global Health
UIC's Center for Global Health puts knowledge into practice to make the world a healthier place. Faculty and students work with local hospitals, doctors and community leaders to improve the health of people in India, Africa, Haiti and other developing nations.
UIC is the home to Chicago's only public law school. Through its varied juris doctor and graduate degree programs, UIC John Marshall Law School provides an education that combines the understanding of both the theory and the practice of law. Students seeking degrees from the School have the option to study many substantive areas of the law – from tax law and estate planning to sustainability and international human rights – and benefit from its many educational centers and nine community-based, pro bono legal clinics.
Social justice
UIC offers more than 200 courses focused on issues of equality, fairness and inclusion. A minor in social justice in Gender and Women's Studies explores ethical, social, historical and political questions facing Chicago and the world. Students and faculty are involved in social justice work, from public policy to arts projects, human rights to urban health disparities.
Social Justice Initiative
The UIC Social Justice Initiative links scholars and activists in Chicago and beyond through programs related to social justice, democracy and human rights. The campus-wide project builds critical thinking and research skills that make students effective change agents and socially conscious professionals.
Urban planning
UIC educates city planners and administrators to evaluate needs, find solutions — then make them happen.
The College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs offers undergraduate and degrees, including Chicago's only accredited graduate program in urban planning. Eight research centers specialize in neighborhood development, economics, transportation, race and public policy, criminal justice and other issues.
Gentrification or not?
A gentrification index developed by UIC researchers measures neighborhood change in Chicago's 77 community areas. It quantifies each area's residents by ethnicity, age, education, income, occupation, home ownership and home values. Researchers found more neighborhoods declining than gentrifying, despite concerns that long-time residents are being priced out of some areas.

"One night," Joyce said, "the family had gathered, and as we helped her from hospital bed to chair, she looked at me and she said, 'Joyce can I come to your house?'
"I said, yes you can come. I knew she couldn't come because she was too weak. But she smiled because she had a place to go. Later on that evening, she passed.
"I believe that was the beginning of Healthy Girls Breast Oil. Her spirit had let go of her physical body but there was so much more to do. I knew I wanted to help women accept and love their bodies."
The lymph system's primary function is to isolate toxins and filter them out of the body. Because lymph fluid moves slowly, inactivity can seriously restrict its flow. Muscle contraction (as in the diaphragm with deep breathing), and manual manipulation (as in massage), are the primary means for our lymph to circulate and drain from the body. Lymphatic self breast massage can reduce tenderness, breast pain, inflammation, lumps, cysts, and fibrocystic breast tissue. It also encourages loving self-care!
"It feels wonderful to do the breast self massage, love the aroma, no greasy feeling and I know I'm giving a fabulous treatment to my breasts." –Sharon, CMT
Jojoba – Most like the oil in your skin, jojoba has anti-inflammatory properties. Suitable for all skin types, it unclogs pores, stimulates blood circulation and skin elasticity, and helps heal scars.
Lemon – With an invigorating scent, lemon is high in the nutrient d-limonene, improves the immune system, and helps with cellulite and lymphatic cleansing.
Sweet Orange – Also rich in d-limonene, orange has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth. It improves the immune system, promotes tissue repair and has an uplifting aroma to reduce depression.
Lavender – This restorative, relaxing oil is used for holistic balancing. It aids in relaxing the nerves, relieving headaches, reducing high blood pressure, and improving skin conditions.
Geranium – Opening up the liver to discharge toxins, geranium balances skin, circulatory and emotional conditions by helping regenerate tissue and nerves.
Frankincense – Helping to strengthen the immune system, frankincense wards off infection and oxygenates cells.
Nerolina – This soothing, softening oil helps to balance and detoxify as an antibacterial and antifungal.
Marjoram – Known in folklore as "Joy of the Mountains," marjoram aids to warm the body and ease congestion in tissues which can be a cause of pain. It is calming, relaxing and known to increase longevity.
Rose Demascena – Beautiful for the skin, this oil brings a feeling of wellbeing and unconditional love to the body. It also aids in circulation and emotional balance.
Using Healthy Girls Breast Oil for lymphatic massage will not just aid in detoxification, it will focus loving energy on your breasts, instead of fear or lack of acceptance.
"To me, good health is more than just exercise and diet. It's really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself." – Albert Schweitzer
Flax Seed – This food contains plant compounds called lignans and omega-3 essential fatty acids which are known to support breast health. A recently published peer review article examined 10 studies, concluding, "flax demonstrates anti-proliferative effects in breast tissue of women at risk of breast cancer and may protect against primary breast cancer. Mortality risk may also be reduced among those living with breast cancer."2
Overall Diet – Eating GMO-free, pesticide free, organic whole foods is always an excellent strategy to fuel your cells and organs and help you reach peak health.
Balance Your Energy and Emotions – Healing practices like yoga, meditation, journaling, or simply taking a walk in nature are wonderful ways to relieve stress.
Increase self-awareness with loving lymphatic self massage. Instead of looking for something wrong with your breasts, focus on loving them! One bottle of Healthy Girls Breast Oil helps to balance and detoxify, as well as stimulate the immune system.
Bottom line: love yourself and give your body the best!

About the Bali Trade and Development Symposium (TDS)
3-5 December 2013, Bali International Convention Centre (BICC) at the Westin Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali
The Bali Trade and Development Symposium was held from 3-5 December on the sidelines of the Ninth WTO Ministerial Conference. The event provided a forum for discussion among governmental and non-governmental stakeholders on issues at the interface of trade and sustainable development, with a view to identifying policy options to address key challenges facing the multilateral trade system.
Over the past decade, the Trade and Development Symposium earned a reputation as the premier parallel event at WTO Ministerial Conferences. These symposia offer a valuable space for a wide range of stakeholders – from policymakers to business leaders to non-governmental organisations – to engage in substantive open discussion outside the negotiating context in order to help move the sustainable development policy agenda forward.
The Bali Trade and Development Symposium focused on three broad thematic streams
- environment and natural resources
- international trade governance and sustainable development
- trade and economic development
Sessions, organised by a wide array of international organisations, addressed the most pressing contemporary trade and sustainable development issues, categorised under these three thematic streams.
The Bali Trade and Development Symposium is organised by ICTSD, together with its Indonesian partner the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

BP Apologist Congressman Keeps Position, Tweets That He Was Right
In a meeting with House Republicans today, idiot Congressman Joe Barton apologized to his colleagues again for apologizing to BP CEO Tony Hayward. They allowed him to keep his powerful committee position. Then he went and bragged on Twitter! Jesus.
Barton, the ranking minority member of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, was finally able to reach some "closure" today at the Republicans' exclusive party pad, the Capitol Hill Club:
Texas Rep. Joe Barton will retain his spot on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, despite the controversy over his apology to BP.
Following a closed-door meeting of Republicans today, House Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters that Barton apologized to fellow GOP lawmakers for his "poor choice of words" and the "issue is closed," The Hill reports.
Yes, closed. Ha! You all put so much faith in Joe Barton to act responsibly, House GOP aides. Because what did Joe Barton tweet shortly after the meeting?
This tweet, which links to a robust defense of Barton's hijinks during last week's hearing with Tony Hayward, no longer exists, of course. He probably thought it was hilarious while it lasted, though! What a piece of work.
Update: Barton's communications director, Sean Brown, emails with a clarification:
Since you wrote a blog about it today…I wanted to let you know…I did it! Without thinking about it much, I added a headline from one of the daily news clips to a website that is, in turn, linked to the congressman's Twitter account. Mr. Barton was not aware of the Tweet…
When will Joe Barton replace Sean Brown with General Petraeus?

Food City Donates Building to Barter Theatre
November 08, 2017
Food City Donates Building to Barter Theatre
ABINGDON, Va.— Food City President and Chief Executive Officer Steven C. Smith hands over the keys to the former Food City Corporate Support Center to Barter Theatre. At a special announcement today, Smith discusses the impact of tourism to the regional economy, and the impact Barter Theatre has made as reasons for the donation.
"Barter Theatre is an extraordinary institution that provides world class entertainment for our entire region, and also serves as a strong economic engine for both Abingdon and Washington County, VA. Food City is proud to be a long-time Barter sponsor, and to have the opportunity to donate the Trigg Street building and property to help perpetuate their financial stability for many years to come," says Smith.
Barter Theatre will use this 39,000 square foot building and 6-acre parcel, located at 201 Trigg Street in Abingdon, to move the costume shop, rehearsal halls, costume storage and sound studios during the renovation of Barter's Production Building. "This gift comes at a particularly beneficial time for Barter, as we will be able to utilize the building immediately as we renovate the 100-year-old production building," says Barter Theatre's Board of Trustees President Kyle Macione. "The generosity of Steve Smith and the Food City organization allows us to solve an immediate issue to which we had no convenient solution, and was going to cost Barter Theatre a substantial amount to solve."
Another immediate usage of the building will be as a home for Barter's Education Department, which has had to use locations throughout Abingdon. Barter Youth Academy, a performance-based educational program that allows students of all ages a chance to learn and develop their performance and storytelling skills, will unite their programs into one location. "This generous donation does meet many immediate needs, and it also gives us the opportunity to gain some long-term strategies and goals that would not have been possible," says Barter Theatre's Producing Artistic Director Richard Rose. "We are deeply honored at the tremendous support from Steve Smith and the Food City team. The commitment they have to enhance our community deserves our gratitude and respect."
The former Food City Corporate Support Center was originally purchased by Food City,, and served the organization until the new state-of-the-art facility was constructed on the vacated site of Johnston Memorial Hospital in 2013. Since that time, the 201 Trigg Street building has had minimal use. "There is an interesting historical fact about this location regarding Barter," says Rose. "The original building on this site was a garment factory, built by the company that once occupied what is now our rehearsal halls at the Barter production building. They converted that theatre performance seating space into the flat floor we use today to rehearse. And today, years later, another corporate organization shows their dedication to our community."

Stories of Transition (2007-2008)
The transition from high school into educational and occupational pathways is a bewildering process for many young people and their parents. From the time they start kindergarten to the day they graduate from high school, most youth travel down a relatively straightforward path. They proceed systematically from one grade to another. Everyone their age is doing pretty much what they are doing school-wise, and career decisions are something for the distant future.
Then comes high school graduation and the roadmap ends. Some young people move smoothly into post-secondary training and satisfying work while others flounder. They change their education programs multiple times or drop out altogether. Many graduate from college or university with no idea what they want to do and spend years careening from one job to another and back to school in an attempt to establish themselves in a fulfilling career. This research seeks to gain a deeper understanding of the educational and occupational pathways that high school graduates take after graduation with a particular emphasis on the supports, roadblocks, and detours they have encountered along the way.
Stories of Transition is a research project that has been fully funded by the Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling (CERIC) through Dalhousie University.
The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the educational and occupational pathways that high school graduates take after graduation with a particular emphasis on the supports, roadblocks, and detours they have encountered along the way. The results of this study have helped young people and the adults who help guide them, both their parents and career development professionals, to understand the challenges facing high school graduates and the many possible pathways they can follow when continuing their education and finding employment.
The goal of this project was to help young people and those who guide them, whether parents or career professionals, to understand the challenges facing high school graduates, the multiplicity of possible pathways they may follow when continuing their education and finding employment, as well as how to help the graduates to make a successful transition after completing high school.
Specifically we set out to:
- Gain a deeper understanding of the educational and occupational pathways that high school graduates take with a particular emphasis on the stories they tell about the detours and dead ends that they encounter.
- Examine how access, or the lack of access, to financial resources impacts on the pathways young people take.
- Identify the messages young people hear from parents, friends, teachers, counsellors, and others in their lives that help or hinder their transitioning from high school to postsecondary education and/or into the workforce.
- Examine the impact that low- and high-opportunity structures have on the narratives young people construct about the pathways available to them.
- Help parents, teachers, guidance counsellors and career counsellors understand more fully young people's experiences of career transitions following high school completion in a globalized world.
- Convey results of the study to parents, teachers, guidance counsellors and career counsellors in order to help them understand more fully the resources and messages young people need to transition successfully from high school into suitable educational and occupational roles.
From 2007 to 2008 we interviewed approximately 120 young people in four different Canadian sites: Montague, PEI, Halifax, NS, Guelph, ON, and Calgary, AB. Our sample included youth between the ages of 23 and 30 who had taken a variety of educational and occupational pathways after graduating from high school and who are either unemployed, underemployed, well-employed, and/or are students at the time the study is being done.
The young adults selected for inclusion in the study participated in a one-on-one interview lasting 60 to 90 minutes, which focused on what they had been doing since graduating from high school. Specifically, they were asked to reflect on what influenced the pathways they took and what supports and constraints they encountered as they made their way into post-secondary education and/or directly into the workforce. As well, they were asked to share any advice they might have for how parents and professionals could best help young people. The interviews were audio taped, transcribed, and analyzed for both common and unique themes. Follow-up interviews were conducted with those who were willing to be contacted again.
Initially, the study focused on three clusters of questions:
- What youth want: We seek to understand the career and life aspirations of young people in the context of the social and personal challenges we mention above.
- What youth have: We seek to understand the resources, individual, family, social and environmental, that influence the paths open to them.
- What youth hear: We seek to understand what young people hear about their aspirations. We will document the messages they hear from the internalized discourses they carry within them, as well as the messages they hear through conversations they engage in with family and significant others, and the broader, culturally embedded messages to which they are subjected.
The second part of the project was the dissemination of the results. Two handbooks based on the findings that emerge from the study were developed. The first of these targets parents as studies of young people have shown that parents are the primary influencers of high school graduates in terms of their choices of educational and occupational pathways. The second handbook targeted at guidance counselors and career counsellors, identifying helpful and unhelpful interactions and interventions relevant to practice with young adults in order to inform effective helping.
There are a number of themes that emerged from the study:
- There are a multitude of factor influencing the pathways taken by young people Young people's educational and occupational pathways are being influenced by a host of complex factors that reside both within them and in their environment. Those internal factors include personality, gender, interests, locus of control, and abilities. External factors include family, geographic location, socioeconomic circumstances, and the employment market.
- Young people face a great deal of uncertainty and ambiguity as they move from high school into postsecondary education and into the work force. Many are uncertain about their career paths when they leave high school and those that do have plans often find they don't work out as they had hoped.
- They need more information about the way education connects to career.
- They want to know about options to take time out, particularly after graduating from high school. Some of the benefits of a time out they have identified include: taking time to decide on a future career path, getting to know themselves better, gaining life experience gaining confidence and new skills, taking a break, and earning money to pay for university or college.
What made in difficult for you to figure out what you wanted to do?
"It's tough because starting from high school there wasn't a lot of information about what you could do. There was information was there for the typical positions, like being a teacher, being a doctor, being a lawyer, you know those kinds of things you kind of grow up knowing that are available. I honestly don't really remember being in high school and having that much assistance with finding out about all the things you can do. So I remember feeling pretty frustrated and pretty stressed out because I knew what my interests were but wasn't sure exactly how to go about finding out what I could do with them." (27-year-old female)
What support did you receive from your guidance counselor?
"The whole guidance counselor thing seemed to skip by me. I think guidance counselors only notice like the people at the top and the bottom. So if you're somewhere in the middle, like you have your B average or whatever, they're just kind of like, well he's doing fine, they don't really have to waste any time on him. Or not waste time but spend any time on him. The kids at the bottom are there all the time because they're in trouble or whatever and the kids at the top are at the top so they're there too but just different reasons. And the ones in the middle just kind of float through high school." (25-year-old male)
What is the most important lesson you've learned since graduating from high school?
"That's it's okay to not fulfill every step you have planned out in your life in the timeframe that you have set out. That sometimes not getting what you want allows you to learn from that and realize what you really want out of life. Like not what seemed to be the perfect lifestyle on paper." (24-year-old female)
What advice would you give to parents?
"Be supportive, like number one be supportive. If somebody comes to you with a dream, even if you think it's ludicrous or they'll never make a living, don't just squash it. Hear them out and then maybe talk about the practicalities because I don't think most parents do want they children to take up something that's going to equal like living in a cardboard box. So you know, talk about the practicalities of it, ask them, do you have a plan of how to achieve it. If they've thought it out well enough and thought about how they could make a living off of it I think it deserves to be heard and ultimately it's their choice" (24-year-old female)

Two guidebooks have been written based on the findings that emerged from the study. One for parents and the other for professionals. The guidebook for professionals is aimed at those who interact with young people at key decision points. They include guidance counselors, career counselors, high school teachers, college instructors, and university professors.
Both guidebooks outline the variety of pathways young people take after high school, who and what influence their choices, and the strategies they use to negotiate their transition from school to the workforce. In addition, the parent's guidebook summarizes the advice that young people have for parents about how they can best guide and support their children. The guidebook for professionals will include both the helpful and unhelpful interactions and interventions that research participants have identified.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'televised leaders debates' tag.
It's been a tumultuous year for British politics.
The 13-year Labour reign came to an end, and for the first time in 36 years Britain witnessed a hung parliament. David Cameron and Nick Clegg married in the Downing Street rose garden, promising "new politics", and Ed Miliband became the youngest Labour leader since World War II.
In recent months protesters have taken to the streets to vent their hatred towards the rise in tuition fee rises and the slashing of EMA. The coalition darling, Vince Cable, fell from grace this week after divulging too much to what he thought were two constituents.
Political memoirs have proliferated, as Brown, Blair and Mandelson reflect on their time in government. Britain witnessed the first televised leaders debates, followed by 'Clegg-mania' and a more American-style election culture. As Michael Jeremy, ITV's Director of News, Current Affairs and Sport, told students during his lecture last month, this was an unprecedented event which has totally transformed the way voters engage with politics. After 15 drafts and countless compromises, Clegg Cameron and Brown finally took to the stage and debated in public. Hailed by Jeremy as a "success for a democracy", the debates are probably the most significant development in coverage of British political life.
So what does the future hold for those walking the corridors of power?
Miliband will be pressed to formulate an alternative strategy, after being mocked by the Tories on a weekly basis in the panto that is Prime Minister's Questions.
The Lib Dems are likely to come under increasing pressure from voters, as they backtrack on the promises they made on the campaign trail. Accused of being "held hostage" by the coalition government, the Lib Dems will need to carve out their own identity, and restore people's faith in the party, which many predict will split and splinter. Clegg looks set to be in dire need of some tweezers.
The Tories' concept of the "Big Society" has gone down like a lead balloon, with widespread confusion about what the idea actually means. Eric Pickle's desire to empower "communities" and cut the red tape has raised eyebrows, as the logistics of the plans come under scrutiny. It does, however, look set to dominate the 2011 agenda.
The brutality of the VAT rise and cuts to local government will come to fruition next year, as thousands more lose their jobs and homes.
Who knows what the future holds for our politicians, but it will be fascinating to see the melodrama unfold. 'Clameron' is keen to convince voters we've moved into an era of "new politics", but voters don't seem to have bought it. The public's opposition has dominated the news agenda in recent months, and the sense of betrayal is mounting. But of course voters have a short memory, and it remains to be seen whether the newlyweds will be forgiven at the next ballot box.

The TIMES, the most wellkown English newspaper published on October 6th, 1842 a funny advert concerned with stamp collecting:
'A young lady, being desirous of covering her dressing room with cancelled postage stamps, has been so far encouraged in her wish by private friends as to have succeeded in collecting 16.000; these, however being insufficent, she will greatly obliged if any good natural persons who may have these (otherwise useless) little articles at their disposal would assist in her whimsical project.'
That is how it started: Stamps and papers. Some time later stamp collecting became a serious hobby and from the sixties of the 19th century on more and more specialist literature like catalogues, stamp papers and stamp albums were produced. Till this day authors and journalists are involved. Without them there would be no spreading and promotion of this enchanting hobby.
More than 80 years ago the first world association for philatelic journalists was founded and in 1962 named 'Association Internationale des Journalistes Philatélique'.
Got curious? Just browse through this site and learn more about the AIJP, how it originated, when it was founded and what are it's aims. Or simply have a look at the news (see the main menu on the left part of this page and click on 'News').

Another great piece via the Harvard Business Review Blog regarding the lack of multicultural professionals in senior positions. According to the blog, multicultural professionals hold only 11% of executive positions in corporate America. According to a study by the Center for Talent Innovation (CTI), one of the factors leading to a lack of representation at these levels is associated with "executive presence."
In other words, multicultural professionals such as Latinos are at a disadvantage because they're unable to create and build professional relationships with executives similar to them:
CTI research finds that multicultural professionals, like their Caucasian counterparts, prioritize gravitas over communication, and communication over appearance. Yet, "cracking the code" of executive presence presents unique challenges for multicultural professionals because standards of appropriate behavior, speech, and attire demand they suppress or sacrifice aspects of their cultural identity in order to conform.
Additional results of the CTI study can be found here.

From ALSC
- Can a virtual committee meet in-person at conferences? As a virtual committee, all work is expected to take place virtually. It is certainly acceptable for those members who will be attending conference to gather socially. However, because members agreed to serve on a virtual committee, no work should take place. Members unable to attend may feel ostracized. If each and every member of the committee unanimously agree to an in-person meeting it is permissible, however, it should not deter from the bulk of the committee's work being conducted virtually.
- How do I handle copying ALSC leadership on emails, documents and other communication when using ALA Connect? ALSC leadership does not have access to your committee space with the exception of documents you mark as 'public'. It is important to keep leadership apprised of any significant issues related to committee work. Do they need to see every single post and discussion? Probably not, so long as you make sure to alert them of any major issues. You will need to exercise good judgment in determining what items need to be copied. Make sure to attach or cut and paste into an email to leadership any discussions of significance. If you are uncertain, consult with your PGC. You may want to consider sending leadership a quarterly summary of activities. If there is something they feel they need to know more about they will let you know.
- Doesn't leadership receive notification anytime something new is posted to a committee's Connect space? While non-members can subscribe to track a committee's space, they will not have access to everything. Additionally, given how many ALSC committee's, task forces, and other groups there are, it's best that you notify leadership on important issues directly.
- Will all the committee members receive notification when something new is posted on our Connect space? All members of your committee should be members of the Connect space. You will want to check under 'members' to make sure they are all listed. You will then need to contact your members via email request that they manage their subscriptions to make sure their Connect subscriptions are active.
- Do we need to use ALA Connect? The use of ALA Connect to store your committee's work is strongly encouraged. This ensures that future chairs and members will be able to access and review previous work thus making for a smoother transition. Your committee's ALA Connect space is a valuable tool and can serve as a repository and portal. It makes it easy for members to quickly access information. Rather than needing to search through emails, members can easily find the information in Connect.
- Do we need to use the Chat feature in ALA Connect for our meetings? While several committees have found the chat feature in ALA Connect to be sufficient for online meetings, it is not for everyone. There are alternative which are discussed on the Meetings and Communications part of this wiki. If you choose to use another tool, you will want to remember to cut and paste the transcript (if using another chat tool) or minutes in Connect. You will also want to make sure that all the necessary information for accessing the tool is available on Connect. Remember – Connect can server as a portal. Make sure that they necessary URL, phone number, needed password, etc… is stored on Connect and that the date and times of the meetings are listed as well. Valuable meeting time can be lost when members are late because they had trouble locating the information needed to attend.
- Should I prepare and agenda and minutes for online meetings or conference calls? Yes. It is good practice to provide an agenda to all participants ahead of time. This will help keep the meeting focused and running on time. Minutes are strongly suggested. While chat allows you to have a transcript, reading a full transcript can be cumbersome for those who were unable to attend. Minutes can provide a brief and organized account of the meeting.
- What if a member can't attend the virtual meetings? There will always be times when members have conflicts and can't attend. When members miss meetings they are expected to read the minutes and follow-up on any assignments they were given. You will want to evaluate the overall contribution of the member. You may have a member who is unable to attend many of the meetings, but follows through on all assignments and therefore is still actively contributing to the committee.
- What's the difference between ALA Connect, The ALSC Wiki, and The ALSC blog?
- Blogs, wikis and Connect - Oh my! Yes, it can be quite confusing. Here is some brief information to assist you in discerning the differences.
- ALA Connect - ALA Connect is a powerful networking site created by ALA to facilitate communication and collaboration. It is where an official ALA group or division group can store and organize its work. It is generally used for communication among specified group of users. This is where your committee will store documents and post announcements for committee members. Think of it as the official committee binder.
- ALSC Wiki - The ALSC wiki is intended to be a place for ALSC members or anyone with an interest in library services to children. It is where ideas can be organized and shared for future reference. This is where your committee can post resources or ideas you feel will be beneficial to others. For example, if you committee created a bibliography this would be a good place to store it such that it can be accessed by others. Think of it as a reference source rather than a notification service.
- ALSC Blog - The blog is a controlled blog. It can be read by anyone but posts are scheduled and previewed by an ALSC designee. This is the place to announce your committee's work to others. Think of it as a notification service of newsletter. For example, if your committee has posted useful resources to the ALSC wiki, you may want to request permission to write a post announcing this on the ALSC blog.

A study will shortly be published on the lives of the elderly Irish in New York. 300 Irish have so far been interviewed.
The study was inspired by the tragic 2008 death of Mayo native Tony Gallagher, 72, who lay undiscovered in his apartment in Queens for over seven days.
Following the death, the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform President Ciaran Staunton secured Irish government and Irish American political support for the study.
Dr. Elaine Walsh is heading the project, which has been facilitated by the Fund for the Advancement of Social Services with the full support of Senator Chuck Schumer and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn.
She said many of the elderly had spent a lifetime sending money and parcels back to Ireland.
They included a former bus driver still sending $900 (£569) a month to his Irish nieces and nephews.
Dr Walsh also said many feared for the future of ireland after the collapse of the Celtic Tiger
She said the survey will show "how they're doing now, what their concerns are in the future and what kinds of programmes could we put in place that would be culturally sensitive for the Irish".
Walsh hopes the findings will assist the Irish and U.S. administrations help these elderly people.
"We will use it as an action plan to work with both governments to see what they can do to do some prevention services as well as support services, and to also work with communities," she told the BBC.
Walsh's team has devised a questionnaire that covers topics such as health, housing, money issues and social services.
According to the Gallagher Initiative's blog page, professors from Hunter College and Fordham University are carrying out the study.
The study started out in Queens but has since been expanded to all five boroughs in New York City.
The Gallagher Initiative is especially interested in talking " with older adults who are living alone or are isolated."
Only two percent of the some 300 elderly people interviewed so far are Protestant, and that is something Walsh wants to address.
"We've failed there, I have to tell you. We're not happy and we have a few more months so we're hoping we find some."
Despite the challenges that many elderly Irish face, Walsh has found that they have no regrets over leaving the Emerald Isle to cross the Atlantic to work for a better future for their children.
"They are happy they made the decision they did and they are very positive about the US," she said.

Planning your North Island self-drive? 5 places not to be missed
New Zealand is truly a country of enormous diversity. Here, we've rounded up some recommendations for the top places to visit on the North Island.
1 / 3
New Zealand is truly a country of enormous diversity. From the wide sandy beaches in the far north to the glaciers of the South Island, there are some incredible places to see when visiting New Zealand. The country is relatively small, about the same size as the UK, but it's easy to get around and self-drive is a popular choice. Here, we've rounded up some recommendations for the top places to visit on the North Island.
Before you book your self-driving holiday, check out the driving times between places to make sure you have enough time to enjoy the North Island properly. New Zealand is very small, but it can take a while to get from place to place and no one wants to spend their holiday sat in the car!
After landing in Auckland, some people head straight out of the city to hit the road on their North Island tour, but Auckland is worth a day or two in its own right. There's plenty on offer, from climbing to the top of Rangitoto Island, to watching the sun go down at Piha Beach. Adrenaline junkies might want to bungee jump into the harbour from one of the world's first bungee jump stations. More cautious types could take in a winery tour. Auckland is surrounded by four wine regions, so visitors are spoiled for choice.
Moving on from Auckland, it's time to see the real North Island. There are many things we'd love to recommend, but we've whittled it down to the five places you just cannot miss on a North Island tour.
Bay of Islands
A morning's drive north of Auckland is the stunning Bay of Islands. The emerald-coloured bay is dotted with over 140 islands, and the beaches here are just incredible. Many activities here are focused on the water. New Zealanders visit the Bay of Islands for serious sea-fishing, whilst tourists enjoy dolphin watching, sailing, sea kayaking and scuba diving.
Away from the ocean, there's still plenty to see and do in the Bay of Islands. If history is your thing, visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, an historic location where The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the Maori and the British in 1840. Other historic locations include Pompallier House and the small but interesting Russell Museum.
Whilst it is a small town, Rotorua is a popular destination for self-drive travellers because of the wide range of activities on offer there.
It would be crazy to visit New Zealand and not see a geyser. The Whakarewarewa Thermal Village offers guided tours as well as Maori performances and even geothermally-cooked meals. All of that geothermal activity around Rotorua means that the town has a thriving spa and wellness scene, so some pampering and relaxation may well be in order. Try the Polynesian Spa for hot spring bathing or visit the Art Deco Blue Baths, for some geothermally-heated swimming.
Lake Taupo
Located in the heart of the North Island, the Great Lake Taupo lies in the caldera of the Taupo Volcano, and covers 238 square miles. The lake deserves some time in its own right, so pack a picnic and a bottle of New Zealand wine and enjoy the stunning lakeside views.
No trip to Lake Taupo would be complete without seeing the staggeringly powerful Huka Falls. Close to the city of Taupo, the falls are one of the largest waterfalls in New Zealand and the volume of water is astonishing.
If you're thirsty for adventure, a tandem sky-dive with Lake Taupo as the backdrop might just quench that thirst. For some high-speed water-based excitement, try jet boating on the Waikato River.
Tongariro National Park
Tongariro is New Zealand's oldest national park, and is also a dual World Heritage Site, recognised for both its Maori cultural heritage and its natural wonders.
There are many hiking trails in Tongariro to suit all levels of experience and fitness. The spectacular Tongariro Alpine Crossing is probably one of the best hiking trails in New Zealand. It's 19.4km one way, but there are buses back to town from the end of the trail. Highlights of the trail include the stunning Red Crater, the Emerald Lakes and the Ketetahi Springs.
If the Alpine Crossing sounds a little too much, there are shorter, easier trails or you could hire mountain bikes and cycle along the Ohakune Old Coach Road for beautiful views across farmland and hillsides.
The Coromandel
On a clear day, you can see The Coramandel Peninsula from Auckland. The peninsula extends for 85km and protects the Hauraki Gulf from the Pacific Ocean. The area was once a gold mining centre, but nowadays ecotourism is the big thing here. Hike through native rainforest to see crystal clear streams, towering Kauri trees and ancient volcanoes.
Cathedral Cove offers another opportunity for some spectacular sea kayaking, as you paddle along the coast past sandy beaches and volcanic rocks.
Hot Water Beach is a definite must-do when visiting The Coramandel. A hot spring lies right in the middle of the beach, so you can combine hot spring bathing with swimming in the sea.
Winding up with a relaxing day or two in The Coramandel area brings us neatly back to our starting point, Auckland. We've only touched on a few great North Island locations, but with enough time and a decent rental car, the North Island will definitely leave a lasting impression. It certainly did on us.
Keep posted for part two of this series detailing the best of the South Island!

Solid Tips For Becoming A Better Email Marketer
If you want to learn what it takes to become successful with a subject like email marketing, then the tips from this article are going to help you a lot. You want to read through this article with care and see what tips from it, you can use to help to market your site or sites.
Your email marketing efforts will give you the best results when you coordinate them with the rest of your marketing campaign. Do not work against yourself by unnecessarily duplicating your efforts in several different marketing channels. Make sure that your use of email, social media, and traditional venues are all designed to work well together.
Create an unsubscribe link that works immediately. If a customer unsubscribes from your list, that should be the last mailing they receive from you. In today's computerized world, there's no excuse for unscriptions not to be immediate. Customers who continue to receive mailings after they unsubscribe are likely to treat those emails as spam, and respond accordingly.
Use your readers to get content for your emails. When your readers ask you question, it makes great fodder for a future email. Answering reader questions in newsletters in this fashion also makes your customers feel more important, because you dedicate part of your newsletter just to them. You can use a traditional Q & A format, or simply state that a user asked you that question and give the answer.
If you use images in your email newsletters, put text to the right of the images. Research shows that customers are far more likely to click on a link or button that is placed to the left of an image than one that is placed anywhere else on the page.
Everyone knows that email filters are getting more and more strict. Graphics and other things included in emails are blocked out, so a reader might not even see what you are trying to say. Therefore, a good piece of advice is to use plain text with a hyperlink to your site.
To get a better response with your email marketing efforts, you want to create emails that look professional. An email that is not professionally done will come across as spam. If your messages are viewed as spam, that is the quickest way to lose potential customers from your subscriber list.
Personalize the Campaign, your emails should address their recipient by name. Software can personalize each email so that it is addressed individually to the recipient. Emails are much more likely to be opened and read when you use the actual name of the recipient rather than "Dear Valued Customer." So take the time to use your customer's name, so they don't just feel as though your letter is simply spam.
You should now start to feel more confident when it comes to seeing success with your site or sites. You want to be sure that you apply all the knowledge you gained today with confidence because when you do that you have fun and just become successful with ease as you progress.

The state of Lancaster County judicial matters has taken a turn for the better.
Such was not the case late last summer when an arsonist torched the Lancaster County Courthouse and Solicitor Doug Barfield's adjacent office, a few days later.
Fire damaged the courtroom on the courthouse's second floor, making it impossible to hold court.
Proceedings moved to the Municipal Justice Center and County Council chambers, a true sign that city and county officials can work together for the common good.
Several years ago, I made some talks for the S.C. Bar Association foundation in which I supported the concept of the rule of law in this country. I believed then, as I do now, that all of us should adhere to the law as it has been developed through the years, realizing that from time to time it can be amended or expanded to meet new contingencies. This is the way of a civilized nation.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for the work and the lives saved by our Lancaster volunteer fire departments and local rescue squad. However, about 6 p.m. March 24, a solicitor for the rescue squad came to my door asking for donations in exchange for a family portrait.
I sent our photographer, Aaron Morrison, to the Lancaster County Courthouse on Monday night to shoot photos of local firefighters signing their names on the trusses that were put up for the new roof of the historic building this week.
A little while later, I got a call from Aaron.
"How do you sign your name?" he asked.
"What?" I said.
"I'm going to sign your name on one of the trusses," he said.
Fred Thomas, Lancaster County Council chairman, apologized at the beginning of County Council meeting Monday night.
"There are times when our best intentions don't materialize," Thomas said. "I apologize to anyone who was embarrassed, anyone made to feel uncomfortable, or anyone who felt their government was not doing its job.
"I'm especially sorry to Sen. Mulvaney. I want to make sure everyone knows their trust was not misplaced."
Thomas said it was a "well-deserved apology."
I would like to respond to Arlene Harris' letter, "Face it: We have a black president." First of all, I don't quite understand the statement "your president." Does that mean the white people's president or because he was a Republican or both? Let's face it Ms. Harris, President Bush was our president. Mr. Bush made some mistakes, but he also kept this country safe from foreign terrorists attacks after 9/11.
At a recent soccer game we won 4 to nothing against the other team. Our coach (Michael) Lundy cheered on both teams. We could have lost if it wasn't for his sportsmanship. Several times they lost more and more players and winded up with four players which made me angry. Because of it, Coach Lundy did right, but something was not right with me. I was the missing sportsman. I should have been more like Coach Lundy. Shouldn't we all?
Luke Faulkenberry, age 7
I would like to thank all who helped me during the loss of my home on Feb. 26, including McDonald Green and Gooches volunteer fire departments.
These are very special men who volunteer their time and risk their lives for our communities. They need your support and prayers at all times. Thank you deputy Branham and investigator Marshall for their time in a caring, polite and professional manner.
Thanks to all who called and offered to help and let me know they cared. Thanks to the Red Cross for their help. Thank you Allen Laneou for calling to let me know.

Something clever and inventive; when doing alot with little, but not necessarily as technical and thorough as MacGyver would have done it. Also when doing something with technology that is beyond what was possible when MacGyver was created.
To circumvent this DRM I came to use a macgyveresque solution, and output the audio from one computer and recorded on another.

If your agency has started a virtualization project or is considering doing so, here are some steps you should take to ensure success.
Virtualization's next steps
1. Assess your existing environment. "When you do any kind of virtualization deployment, assessment is a big key," said Jim Smid, data center practice manager at Apptis Technology Solutions. "You have to understand what you have so when you go to the virtualized world, all those things are taken into account. That is a building block. And organizations have been struggling with assessments and having the right tools to automate discovery and requirement mapping between applications."
2. Identify the best applications for virtualization. "One of the major challenges is identifying the right applications that need to be virtualized," said Tony Encinias, chief technology officer for Pennsylvania, which has launched a server virtualization initiative. "Not every application is compatible with [the virtualization] software" you choose.
"You have to develop your design upfront," he said. "You have to know what that virtual infrastructure is going to entail." You must diligently test applications before deploying them and examine how the technology will address the needs of the business or organization you support.
If an application is CPU-intensive, you might want to think twice about switching to a virtual machine. Otherwise, you must dedicate more virtual resources to that application, which could reduce your return on investment in the virtualization technology, he said.
3. Be aware of potential management issues. "If you have 10 or 20 applications on a [virtualized] box and that box goes down, not only are you affecting one application or one customer, you're affecting 20 or more applications and possibly 20 or more customers," Encinias said. "So you have to be cognizant of your service delivery model and making sure your problem management processes are in place so you can recover."
Scott Keough, a senior associate at Booz Allen Hamilton, agreed that agencies need a set of best practices and processes. He recommended that they use frameworks such as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library, which is a set of concepts and policies for managing IT infrastructures, development and operations.
4. Consider the security implications of virtualization. Best practices should also extend to your security strategy. Make sure you are monitoring the state of security of your virtualized environments, said Eric Chiu, president and chief executive officer of HyTrust, a start-up company focused on security in virtualized environments.
You should have controlled access policies and good audit trails, he added.
As virtualization spreads, agencies can install processes to address how people access systems, but you need technology to make sure people conform to those policies, Chiu said.

Rum Review: El Dorado 21-Year-Old Rum
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 27, 2011
The Master Blender for Demerara Distillers Ltd. , (DDL) is credited with the creation of El Dorado 21-Year-Old Special Reserve Rum which uses a selected blend of rums from their world-famous stills, the Enmore (wooden Coffey still), the Versailles (single wooden pot still), and the Albion (Savalle still). All of these rums in the blend have been aged in oak for a minimum of 21 years, making this one of the oldest production rums in the world.
The rum is part of a family of luxury cask aged rums which also includes a 12-year-old rum, a 15-year-old rum and a 25-year-old Rum. According to the DDL website…
"El Dorado rums are blended selections of different 'vintages' or batches of rums from different stills – aged in oak barrels. Importantly, the age statement specifically indicates the youngest rum in the blend, even though the oldest may be many years older. This rule is the same as the one for Scotch Whisky and is used for rums produced in English-speaking countries…"
This age statement is quite different from those rums which feature a solera style age statement which highlights the oldest rum in the blend and usually includes a high percentage of rum which is much younger in the blend. In my opinion, this sets the El Dorado 21 Year Old Rum apart from its peers and it is very hard to find many comparably aged rums in my marketplace.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"…The mouth is heated up with oak spice, and my first impression is that I am sampling a yummy oak and toffee extract filled with rich brown sugar. The oak is at the center of the flavour, yet the tannins do not inhibit the other flavours in the rum from forming and delighting me. Raisins, prunes, and dates give the rum an almost smoky quality while the impressions of nutty elements adds softness to the mouth-feel. Cinnamon and brown sugar weave throughout and the rum is an absolute marvel of complexity and balance…"

Rum Review: El Dorado 21-Year-Old Rum
Please enjoy the review and remember that it is my aim to help you drink better rums not to help you drink more rums!

5/30 Gorzelanny: "I'm here to do my job"
Tom Gorzelanny was in the Cubs' bullpen on Sunday in case he was needed. He found out before the game that he was switching roles, moving from the rotation to the 'pen.
"It is what it is," Gorzelanny said. "I'll do my job there and see what happens."
The Cubs need to make room for Carlos Zambrano who returns to the rotation on Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Gorzelanny was 2-5 with a 3.66 ERA in nine starts, and has primarily been a starter in his career. He made it clear after his last game that he didn't want to go to the bullpen.
"We didn't expect [Gorzelanny] to be happy about it and he wasn't," Lou Piniella said. "At the same time, we impressed upon him that he can be very helpful to us. [Sean] Marshall is a perfect example of that."
Piniella's right. The lefty wasn't pleased at the news. Does he still want to be a starter?
"That's what I am," Gorzelanny said. "This is a decision they made. I'm here to do my job, whatever it is. Put me in the pen. That's fine."

Named entity recognition
From ForensicsWiki
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the process of identifying and extracted named entities such as People, Places, Things and Time from natural language documents.
Named Entity Recognition is a growing part of computer forensics. Please see Wikipedia's article on Named entity recognition for complete information. The remainder of this article stresses aspects of NER that are relevant to current forensics practice and research.

One of the less publicized ability of the Dalvik virtual machine is that it is able to execute "optimized" DEX files (or ODEX files). "Optimizing" a DEX file speeds up its execution but also ties it to the hardware platform on which the optimization was performed. ODEX optimization relies on unsafe bytecode instructions. Unsafe instructions are much faster to execute, on the other hand, malicious use of these instructions can crash the virtual machine. Dalvik has an additional layer of security, process separation and file permissions of the underlying Linux platform so this price is not that high. It is important to note, however, that much of the security normally associated to the Java virtual machine e.g. in J2ME is now provided by the underlying Linux platform.
I remember the resistance when I proposed unsafe instruction for garbage collection performance optimization on mobile platforms. The critics argued that 1. the Java bytecode is not allowed to be modified and 2. the bytecode safety must be preserved at all costs. Seemingly, Dalvik designers have done away with both ortodoxies.
The optimization is carried out on the target platform, by the target platform's virtual machine. The command to invoke the optimizer is called dexopt. There is no point in invoking this command on the emulator as it would create an optimized DEX that can be executed only on the emulator. The most important transformations are the replacement of the method indexes with vtable indexes and the field indexes with memory offsets. So instead of invoking a method by name, it is invoked by vtable index using a set of special instructions not specified in the Dalvik instruction set.
For example:
invoke-virtual-quick {v1,v2},vtable #0x3b
(Note: if anyone reads this who is knowledgeable in the way the vtable index is computed, please, drop me a comment or mail :-))
Also, for fields:
iget-object-quick v0,v2,[obj+0x100]
The dedexer tool was updated and now provides a limited support for ODEX files. Sadly, I was not able to figure out, how to calculate method or field names out of vtable indexes and byte offsets which clearly limits the usefulness of the disassembled ODEX sources. When I was at it, I also implemented debug information processing that generates line number and local variable information like this:
.var 0 is intent Landroid/content/Intent; from l144ac to l144c8
const-class v3,com/android/vending/SubCategoryListActivity
const-string v2,"android.intent.action.VIEW"
.line 180
The Dalvik opcode list was also updated with the description of the "quick" instructions.

Optimized DEX files

Optimized dex files can be generated during compile time to get ODEX files for each app. But is this supported in 2.2 R1 ? or only in 2.3?
- January 19, 2011 at 1:19 PM
- Gabor Paller said...
Chinna, could you provide some details? I thought ODEX can be generated only by the Dalvik virtual machine as ODEX is optimized for the particular Dalvik version that runs the DEX:
- January 19, 2011 at 10:08 PM
I believe they can be generated as part of the full system build - unlike the SDK, that has the exact jars on which they depend available (because it just built them)
