The Collected poems of Rupert Brooke/1905—1908
1905 — 1908
Here in the dark, O heart;
Alone with the enduring Earth, and Night,
And Silence, and the warm strange smell of clover;
Clear-visioned, though it break you; far apart
From the dead best, the dear and old delight;
Throw down your dreams of immortality,
O faithful, O foolish lover!
Here's peace for you, and surety; here the one
Wisdom—the truth!—"All day the good glad sun
Showers love and labour on you, wine and song;
The greenwood laughs, the wind blows, all day long
Till night." And night ends all things.
Then shall be
No lamp relumed in heaven, no voices crying,
Or changing lights, or dreams and forms that hover!
(And, heart, for all your sighing,
That gladness and those tears are over, over. . . .)
And has the truth brought no new hope at all,
Heart, that you're weeping yet for Paradise?
Do they still whisper, the old weary cries?
"'Mid youth and song, feasting and carnival,
Through laughter, through the roses, as of old
Comes Death, on shadowy and relentless feet,
Death, unappeasable by prayer or gold;
Death is the end, the end!"
Proud, then, clear-eyed and laughing, go to greet
Death as a friend!
Exile of immortality, strongly wise,
Strain through the dark with undesirous eyes
To what may lie beyond it. Sets your star,
O heart, for ever! Yet, behind the night,
Waits for the great unborn, somewhere afar,
Some white tremendous daybreak. And the light,
Returning, shall give back the golden hours,
Ocean a windless level, Earth a lawn
Spacious and full of sunlit dancing-places,
And laughter, and music, and, among the flowers,
The gay child-hearts of men, and the child-faces
O heart, in the great dawn!
Tenderly, day that I have loved, I close your eyes,
And smooth your quiet brow, and fold your thin dead hands.
The grey veils of the half-light deepen; colour dies.
I bear you, a light burden, to the shrouded sands,
Where lies your waiting boat, by wreaths of the sea's making
Mist-garlanded, with all grey weeds of the water crowned.
There you'll be laid, past fear of sleep or hope of waking;
And over the unmoving sea, without a sound,
Faint hands will row you outward, out beyond our sight,
Us with stretched arms and empty eyes on the far- gleaming
And marble sand. . . .
Beyond the shifting cold twilight,
Further than laughter goes, or tears, further than dreaming,
There'll be no port, no dawn-lit islands! But the drear
Waste darkening, and, at length, flame ultimate on the deep.
Oh, the last fire—and you, unkissed, unfriended there!
Oh, the lone way's red ending, and we not there to weep!
(We found you pale and quiet, and strangely crowned with flowers,
Lovely and secret as a child. You came with us,
Came happily, hand in hand with the young dancing hours,
High on the downs at dawn!) Void now and tenebrous,
The grey sands curve before me. . . .
From the inland meadows,
Fragrant of June and clover, floats the dark, and fills
The hollow sea's dead face with little creeping shadows,
And the white silence brims the hollow of the hills.
Close in the nest is folded every weary wing,
Hushed all the joyful voices; and we, who held you dear,
Eastward we turn and homeward, alone, remembering . . .
Day that I loved, day that I loved, the Night is here!
They sleep within. . . .
I cower to the earth, I waking, I only.
High and cold thou dreamest, O queen, high-dreaming and lonely.
We have slept too long, who can hardly win
The white one flame, and the night-long crying;
The viewless passers; the world's low sighing
With desire, with yearning,
To the fire unburning,
To the heatless fire, to the nameless ecstasy! . . .
Helpless I lie.
And around me the feet of thy watchers tread.
There is a rumour and a radiance of wings above my head,
An intolerable radiance of wings. . . .
All the earth grows fire,
White lips of desire
Brushing cool on the forehead, croon slumbrous things.
Earth fades; and the air is thrilled with ways,
Dewy paths full of comfort. And radiant bands,
The gracious presence of friendly hands,
Help the blind one, the glad one, who stumbles and strays,
Stretching wavering hands, up, up, through the praise
Of a myriad silver trumpets, through cries,
To all glory, to all gladness, to the infinite height,
To the gracious, the unmoving, the mother eyes,
And the laughter, and the lips, of light.
Lo! from quiet skies
In through the window my Lord the Sun!
And my eyes
Were dazzled and drunk with the misty gold,
The golden glory that drowned and crowned me
Eddied and swayed through the room . . .
Around me,
To left and to right,
Hunched figures and old,
Dull blear-eyed scribbling fools, grew fair,
Ringed round and haloed with holy light.
Flame lit on their hair,
And their burning eyes grew young and wise,
Each as a God, or King of kings,
White-robed and bright
(Still scribbling all);
And a full tumultuous murmur of wings
Grew through the hall;
And I knew the white undying Fire,
And, through open portals,
Gyre on gyre,
Archangels and angels, adoring, bowing,
And a Face unshaded . . .
Till the light faded;
And they were but fools again, fools unknowing,
Still scribbling, blear-eyed and stolid immortals.
I'd watched the sorrow of the evening sky,
And smelt the sea, and earth, and the warm clover,
And heard the waves, and the seagull's mocking cry.
And in them all was only the old cry,
That song they always sing—"The best is over!
You may remember now, and think, and sigh,
O silly lover!"
And I was tired and sick that all was over, And because I,
For all my thinking, never could recover
One moment of the good hours that were over.
And I was sorry and sick, and wished to die.
Then from the sad west turning wearily,
I saw the pines against the white north sky,
Very beautiful, and still, and bending over
Their sharp black heads against a quiet sky.
And there was peace in them; and I
Was happy, and forgot to play the lover,
And laughed, and did no longer wish to die;
Being glad of you, O pine-trees and the sky!
Creeps in half wanton, half asleep,
One with a fat wide hairless face.
He likes love-music that is cheap;
Likes women in a crowded place;
And wants to hear the noise they're making.
His heavy eyelids droop half-over,
Great pouches swing beneath his eyes.
He listens, thinks himself the lover,
Heaves from his stomach wheezy sighs;
He likes to feel his heart's a-breaking.
The music swells. His gross legs quiver.
His little lips are bright with slime.
The music swells. The women shiver.
And all the while, in perfect time,
His pendulous stomach hangs a-shaking.
Slowly up silent peaks, the white edge of the world,
Trod four archangels, clear against the unheeding sky,
Bearing, with quiet even steps, and great wings furled,
A little dingy coffin; where a child must lie,
It was so tiny. (Yet, you had fancied, God could never
Have bidden a child turn from the spring and the sunlight,
And shut him in that lonely shell, to drop for ever
Into the emptiness and silence, into the night. . . .)
They then from the sheer summit cast, and watched it fall,
Through unknown glooms, that frail black coffin—and therein
God's little pitiful Body lying, worn and thin,
And curled up like some crumpled, lonely flower-petal—
Till it was no more visible; then turned again
With sorrowful quiet faces downward to the plain.
Swiftly out from the friendly lilt of the band,
The crowd's good laughter, the loved eyes of men,
I am drawn nightward; I must turn again
Where, down beyond the low untrodden strand,
There curves and glimmers outward to the unknown
The old unquiet ocean. All the shade
Is rife with magic and movement. I stray alone
Here on the edge of silence, half afraid,
Waiting a sign. In the deep heart of me
The sullen waters swell towards the moon,
And all my tides set seaward.
From inland
Leaps a gay fragment of some mocking tune,
That tinkles and laughs and fades along the sand,
And dies between the seawall and the sea.
(The Priests within the Temple)
She was wrinkled and huge and hideous? She was our Mother.
She was lustful and lewd?—but a God; we had none other.
In the day She was hidden and dumb, but at nightfall moaned in the shade;
We shuddered and gave Her Her will in the darkness; we were afraid.
{The People without)
She sent us pain,
And we bowed before Her;
She smiled again
And bade us adore Her.
She solaced our woe
And soothed our sighing;
And what shall we do
Now God is dying?
(The Priests within)
She was hungry and ate our children;—how should we stay Her?
She took our young men and our maidens;—ours to obey Her.
We were loathèd and mocked and reviled of all nations; that was our pride.
She fed us, protected us, loved us, and killed us; now She has died.
(The People without)
She was so strong;
But death is stronger.
She ruled us long;
But Time is longer.
She solaced our woe
And soothed our sighing;
And what shall we do
Now God is dying?
(Halted around the fire by night, after moon-set, they sing this beneath the trees.)
What light of unremembered skies
Hast thou relumed within our eyes,
Thou whom we seek, whom we shall find? . . .
A certain odour on the wind,
Thy hidden face beyond the west,
These things have called us; on a quest
Older than any road we trod,
More endless than desire. . . .
Far God,
Sigh with thy cruel voice, that fills
The soul with longing for dim hills
And faint horizons! For there come
Grey moments of the antient dumb
Sickness of travel, when no song
Can cheer us; but the way seems long;
And one remembers. . . .
Ah! the beat
Of weary unreturning feet,
And songs of pilgrims unreturning! . . .
The fires we left are always burning
On the old shrines of home. Our kin
Have built them temples, and therein
Pray to the Gods we know; and dwell
In little houses lovable,
Being happy (we remember how!)
And peaceful even to death. . . .
O Thou,
God of all long desirous roaming,
Our hearts are sick of fruitless homing,
And crying after lost desire.
Hearten us onward! as with fire
Consuming dreams of other bliss.
The best Thou givest, giving this
Sufficient thing—to travel still
Over the plain, beyond the hill,
Unhesitating through the shade,
Amid the silence unafraid,
Till, at some sudden turn, one sees
Against the black and muttering trees
Thine altar, wonderfully white,
Among the Forests of the Night.
(Sung, on one night, in the cities, in the darkness.)
Come away! Come away!
Ye are sober and dull through the common day,
But now it is night!
It is shameful night, and God is asleep!
(Have you not felt the quick fires that creep
Through the hungry flesh, and the lust of delight,
And hot secrets of dreams that day cannot say?).
The house is dumb;
The night calls out to you. Come, ah, come!
Down the dim stairs, through the creaking door,
Naked, crawling on hands and feet
—It is meet! it is meet!
Ye are men no longer, but less and more,
Beast and God. . . . Down the lampless street,
By little black ways, and secret places,
In the darkness and mire,
Faint laughter around, and evil faces
By the star-glint seen—ah! follow with us!
For the darkness whispers a blind desire,
And the fingers of night are amorous.
Keep close as we speed,
Though mad whispers woo you, and hot hands cling,
And the touch and the smell of bare flesh sting,
Soft flank by your flank, and side brushing side—
To-night never heed!
Unswerving and silent follow with me,
Till the city ends sheer,
And the crook'd lanes open wide,
Out of the voices of night,
Beyond lust and fear,
To the level waters of moonlight,
To the level waters, quiet and clear,
To the black unresting plains of the calling sea.
Because God put His adamantine fate
Between my sullen heart and its desire,
I swore that I would burst the Iron Gate,
Rise up, and curse Him on His throne of fire.
Earth shuddered at my crown of blasphemy,
But Love was as a flame about my feet;
Proud up the Golden Stair I strode; and beat
Thrice on the Gate, and entered with a cry—
All the great courts were quiet in the sun,
And full of vacant echoes: moss had grown
Over the glassy pavement, and begun
To creep within the dusty council-halls.
An idle wind blew round an empty throne
And stirred the heavy curtains on the walls.
Before thy shrine I kneel, an unknown worshipper,
Chanting strange hymns to thee and sorrowful litanies,
Incense of dirges, prayers that are as holy myrrh.
Ah, goddess, on thy throne of tears and faint low sighs,
Weary at last to theeward come the feet that err,
And empty hearts grown tired of the world's vanities.
How fair this cool deep silence to a wanderer
Deaf with the roar of winds along the open skies!
Sweet, after sting and bitter kiss of sea-water,
The pale Lethean wine within thy chalices!
I come before thee, I, too tired wanderer,
To heed the horror of the shrine, the distant cries,
And evil whispers in the gloom, or the swift whirr
Of terrible wings—I, least of all thy votaries,
With a faint hope to see the scented darkness stir,
And, parting, frame within its quiet mysteries
One face, with lips than autumn-lilies tenderer,
And voice more sweet than the far plaint of viols is,
Or the soft moan of any grey-eyed lute-player.
(From the train between Bologna and Milan, second class.)
Opposite me two Germans snore and sweat.
Through sullen swirling gloom we jolt and roar.
We have been here for ever: even yet
A dim watch tells two hours, two aeons, more.
The windows are tight-shut and slimy-wet
With a night's fœtor. There are two hours more;
Two hours to dawn and Milan; two hours yet.
Opposite me two Germans sweat and snore. . . .
One of them wakes, and spits, and sleeps again.
The darkness shivers. A wan light through the rain
Strikes on our faces, drawn and white. Somewhere
A new day sprawls; and, inside, the foul air
Is chill, and damp, and fouler than before. . . .
Opposite me two Germans sweat and snore.
Out of the nothingness of sleep,
The slow dreams of Eternity,
There was a thunder on the deep:
I came, because you called to me.
I broke the Night's primeval bars,
I dared the old abysmal curse,
And flashed through ranks of frightened stars
Suddenly on the universe!
The eternal silences were broken;
Hell became Heaven as I passed.—
What shall I give you as a token,
A sign that we have met, at last?
I'll break and forge the stars anew,
Shatter the heavens with a song;
Immortal in my love for you,
Because I love you, very strong.
Your mouth shall mock the old and wise,
Your laugh shall fill the world with flame,
I'll write upon the shrinking skies
The scarlet splendour of your name,
Till Heaven cracks, and Hell thereunder
Dies in her ultimate mad fire,
And darkness falls, with scornful thunder,
On dreams of men and men's desire.
Then only in the empty spaces,
Death, walking very silently,
Shall fear the glory of our faces
Through all the dark infinity.
So, clothed about with perfect love,
The eternal end shall find us one,
Alone above the Night, above
The dust of the dead gods, alone.
Is it the hour? We leave this resting-place
Made fair by one another for a while.
Now, for a god-speed, one last mad embrace;
The long road then, unlit by your faint smile.
Ah! the long road! and you so far away!
Oh, I'll remember! but . . . each crawling day
Will pale a little your scarlet lips, each mile
Dull the dear pain of your remembered face.
. . . Do you think there's a far border town,
The desert's edge, last of the lands we know,
Some gaunt eventual limit of our light,
In which I'll find you waiting; and we'll go
Together, hand in hand again, out there,
Into the waste we know not, into the night?
Some day I shall rise and leave my friends
And seek you again through the world's far ends,
You whom I found so fair
(Touch of your hands and smell of your hair!),
My only god in the days that were.
My eager feet shall find you again,
Though the sullen years and the mark of pain
Have changed you wholly; for I shall know
(How could I forget having loved you so?),
In the sad half-light of evening,
The face that was all my sunrising.
So then at the ends of the earth I'll stand
And hold you fiercely by either hand,
And seeing your age and ashen hair
I'll curse the thing that once you were,
Because it is changed and pale and old
(Lips that were scarlet, hair that was gold!),
And I loved you before you were old and wise,
When the flame of youth was strong in your eyes,
—And my heart is sick with memories.

(CNN) - As President Barack Obama finalizes his cabinet picks heading into his second term, some are pointing to a noted lack of diversity among the select group.
And Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel says "it's embarrassing as hell." The congressman from New York pulled no punches Thursday when he chided the White House for not picking more women and minorities for the top level positions.
Follow @politicalticker
"The questions I've heard are fair," he said on MSNBC. "The record does speak for itself."
Obama will nominate Jack Lew, his chief of staff, for Treasury Secretary on Thursday, and CNN has learned the likely contenders for his replacement at the White House are all men. This comes days after the president nominated former Sen. Chuck Hagel for Defense Secretary, Sen. John Kerry for Secretary of State, and John Brennan, chief homeland security and counterterrorism adviser, to lead the CIA.
In making his point, Rangel cited another high-profile political name who took heat over questions about women's rights.
"We've been through all this with Mitt Romney, and we were very hard on Mitt Romney with his 'women binder' and a variety of things," Rangel said.
His comment referred to a presidential debate when Romney attempted to prove his support for gender equality by talking about how, as a former CEO, he tried to boost his workforce with more women.
"I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women'," Romney said at the debate. His comment was quickly turned into a social media punch line.
Talking about what's shaping up to be the next Obama administration, Rangel said Thursday "there's no excuse" now that the president has been in office for a while.
"He's had four years to work the bench, to work the second team in the second term," the longtime congressman said. "These people should be just as experienced as any other Americans."
The White House, however, points to a number of women named to top jobs, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis (who announced her resignation Wednesday), Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice was a top contender to replace Clinton at the State Department, but she withdrew her name from consideration last month.
The administration also says that more than half of the White House staff is made up of women, many in key senior leadership roles.
But Rangel added when "women and minorities don't get a chance to rub elbows," then people at the top have a harder time getting to know them and their experiences.
"And if you don't know it, you don't use it," he said.
- CNN's Halimah Abdullah contributed to this report.
Not to mention that his only SCOTUS picks were 2 women as well. This is a farsical non-issue. Apparently, Rangel watched Scarborough's idiotic show this morning and mindlessly espoused the GOP/Teatroll talking points. If this is the only way the GOP/Tetrolls think they're going to gain ground on the female and minority votes....desperately flailing around with silly "gotcha" attempts like this...then it's going to be easier to arrange their demise than I previously thought.
Being a complete embarrassment himself, Congressman Rangel knows what he's talking about. Another useless non-issue put forth by yet another worthless member of Congress trying to get attention.
Charlie Rangel you should be ashamed of yourself you are so embarrassing to the state of New York into call the president embarrassing wow what is stretch.
He evidently must be getting his info from fox "news". I think he has been too busy with personal issues to know what is actually happening in the real world.
Danm if he do damn if he don't. .is he the first n only president to do
This ????.
Takes one to know one, Charlie. You're one of the few Democrats that I think should be out of office or in jail for all of your embarrassing antics. Some guys will do anything to get in the press, right? Time to pipe down.
Hillary was unquestionably the best choice for SecState, and she's proved it. She's also the best choice for the next President. And she does it on ABILITY.
Cabinet posts are filled by people the President believes he can trust for advice and trust to manage their departments. Diversity is very desirable, but having the President's confidence is paramount.
So picking two women for Supreme Court justices (LIFETIME POSITIONS) didn't count right?
The truth is, Rangel has never gotten over the fact his slave master Hillary Clinton lost. The man is petty and ridiculous along with several other words I can't call him without being moderated out.
Charlie Rangel is one of the LAST people in this country who should be lecturing someone else about being an embarrassment!
When we can all drop the ethnicity/race designations that often precede "American" then and only then will equal footing be a reality. Exclluding American Indian for obvious reasons. As it is, diversity – affirmative action – whatever you choose to call it (i.e. racism) is out of control and fosters discrimination. Stand on your own two feet and work for what you get. That said, some EEO policies have their place in regard to the disparity between male and female wages/opportunities. But....no one wants to be equal, that doesnt entitle them to anything.
Rep. Rangel, you are taking affirmative action much too far. This is the Presidential Cabinet we're talking here, not the local liberal arts college. Race and gender should be a negligible factor compared to ability.
We have to consider the fact that there just are not enough women who are in high enough positions to be considered for some of these roles. I think the tides are changing, but currently there are many women who don't have the experience that some of these nominees do only because during their careers they were not given opportunities like the men were and now they are not on the same level.
This is the first time I have ever said this because until now, I have had no reason to say it. Jay Carney actually told the truth and it may have been a slip when he said it is important to have people with the best qualifications for a job than someone who is picked for other reasons.
Rangel and all other "ME" groups like the NAACP ande the CBC should be barred from service or treated like a hate group.
Maybe Obama needs to ask Romney if he can borrow his binders full of women???
Hey, Charlie! Charlie! Mitt Romney lost, dude.
Obama has to pick whoever has the credentials for the jobs. I believe in diversity and try very hard in my professional life to enhance diversity. And as I am in engineering, I am well aware of the lack of women and certain minorities in my field and I try to be inclusive. If I have many applicants for opened positions and I have multiple people who equally qualify, I make every effort to ensure the composition of my picks reflect as close as possible to the wider society at large. However, sometimes, the best candidate is a white male or Asian male, in which case I still have to go with the best. Meritocracy still has to trump over affirmative action.
obama can be more flexible in his second term. he doesn't need to pander to the women anymore. he already got their vote.
Rangel is certainly an expert on embarrassment, if he wasn't in congress he would be in jail for tax evasion and more.
True inclusion means you pick the perosn you feel is best for the job and not based on color or gender. The President has shown he can mix up his nominations and as usual Rangel is just spouting off.
Did Rangel know that the President's first choice forSec of State was swift boated? Did he defend Ms. Rice against attacks by McCain and others? If he had, the President would probably have a well qualified woman in his cabinent.

For more information see the GTU Library/ID card page.
Semester Validation Stickers
You will need a current semester and year sticker in the upper right hand corner to use your card (also remember to sign your card). Without a current semester and year sticker, the library will not allow you to check out books and/or laminate your card and give you a bar code. PSR cardholders, go to the PSR registrar to receive your validation sticker at the start of each semester. Time periods that the ID stickers are valid are as follows.
Fall sticker valid period
Begins: First day of fall semester
Ends: Second Friday of the following spring semester (includes January Intersession period)
Spring sticker valid period
Begins: First day of spring semester
Ends: Second Friday of the following fall semester (includes summer period)
Year-long stickers (issued to only career staff, core and emeriti faculty)

Only one card is issued to you at the beginning of your studies and/or employment at PSR, after which point you can keep your card current with new validation stickers each semester or academic year. New employees and faculty will receive their cards in their PSR mailbox shortly after employment starts. New students will take pictures and receive their photo-ID/library cards at orientation week. Faculty and staff, and students who entered before Fall 2008 are issued non-photo ID cards from the PSR registrar.
Blocks on Student Accounts
Student validation stickers may be withheld if there are blocks on your account, for example, if you have a problem with your financial account; if you have not turned in certain milestones toward graduation; or if you have an outstanding library fine. To find out if you have any such blocks, consult Sonis.
Distance Student Library Cards and Access
Students completing programs online or at a distance may access hard copy library resources through interlibrary loan. Distance students will need a valid library card at their local library and may request books and other hard copy materials to be mailed to them via interlibrary loan. In the first two weeks of each semester, the PSR registrar sends the GTU Library Access Services department a list of all verified PSR online students with student ID number. When contacting the GTU Library for services, be sure to give you full legal name and the seven-digit ID number. If you require a photo library ID card for other reasons besides library resource access, you will need to either attend Orientation and take your picture for your photo ID library card during designated Orientation times or email the GTU Registrar to set up an appointment where you can come in person to take your photo for the photo ID card.
Replacing ID Cards
Students who have lost a photo ID/library card should go to the GTU registrar's office for replacements. ID card replacements are $15 each and paid to the Graduate Theological Union. Non-photo ID/Library card replacements should be requested to the PSR Registrar and paid to Pacific School of Religion.
Using UC Berkeley Libraries
A current GTU Library card may also entitle you to check out books at the UC Berkeley libraries. Just show your current GTU Library card at the front desk at UC Berkeley's Doe Library, and you will issued a temporary card good for three months, which you may renew so long as your GTU Library card is current. A current GTU Library card may also entitle you to other discounts, such as a discount at the UC Berkeley Recreational Sports Facilities. For more information on the discount, see the Memberships for GTU Students, Faculty, and Staff.

Girl injured in hiking accident recovering in Hawaii
A 7-year-old Cypress girl who was severely injured in a rock fall in Hawaii over the weekend has been moved out of intensive care, a family friend said.
Leila Clark, who studies dance at Hintze Dancer Center in Cypress, was on a family hiking excursion June 23 in Oahu, Hawaii, when falling rocks sent people running to safety, said Mary Orr, a family friend and dance instructor at the center.
"That's when she was hit with a 15-pound rock," Orr said. "Liela suffered severe chest trauma, six broken ribs, a collapsed lung and in a gash in her back they (doctors) stapled together. She also has liver damage; it was bleeding but it stopped in two days."
Clark was rushed to Oahu Children's Hospital, where the staff has provided her with a therapy dog to keep her spirits high.
"Leila called me (Wednesday) and was excited about the therapy dog," Orr said. "After she heard that she was on the news, she told the nurses that she was going to be a celebrity."
Meanwhile, the dance studio is putting together a care package to send to Clark at the hospital, said studio owner Virginia Hintze. It will include stuffed animals, coloring books, ballet books and a gift card to assist the girl's parents, who are staying at Ronald McDonald House in Oahu.
"Our goal is to help them any way we can," Hintze said. "What a nightmare to go to Hawaii on a family vacation and end up with your child in intensive care. It was such a freak accident."
Hintze said Clark, who aspires to be a ballerina, is "one of those special children who is very well-behaved, she's a caring and giving child and well-liked at the studio."
Anyone who wishes to donate cash or items for the care package may drop it off no later than today Friday at the dance studio, 17333 Spring Cypress Road in Cypress, or call 281-256-1161.

In what could only be described as an electrifying, wild, and windy day, the sixth and final day of the Kitesurf World Cup Argentina was one for the record books. To the surprise of many, the light and variable winds that were forecast, gave way to up and down conditions ranging from 5-25 knots, lending to an amazing final day.
With 22 heats still left in order to finish the single elimination, riders and crew were unsure of whether the wind would last long enough to finish – but it was worth a try. For the riders, this day held the last opportunity for them to improve their overall tour ranking as well as battle for the podium of this prestigious finale tour stop, where the 2013 World Champions were to be crowned.
Neto and Whaley also battled for the chance to move on, and although Whaley landed a nice Back Mobe 5 and Front Blind Mobe, among others, it just wasn't enough against Neto's Crow Mobe 5, SMobe 5, and high scoring Slim 7. Borisov managed to oust Alberto Rondina in a close heat, which saw solid riding from both riders.
As the fleet of men advanced to the quarter-finals, winds backed off and began to steady with riders using kites in the 11-13m range. With very close heats and impressive riding from all of the riders, it was the more decorated tour veterans taking the wins as Tack, Hadlow, and Pastor advanced. The exception was again Carlos Mario, who beat out Marc Jacobs in a impressive battle.
The talented rookie Mario continued his climb up the ladder, meeting Tack in the semi-finals. A trick for trick battle early on in the heat ensued and Tack landed a nice S-Mobe 7 as Mario answered back with a BJ7. Big tricks unfolded throughout the heat from both riders. In an extremely close heat, Mario moved on to the winner's final against current tour leader, Alex Pastor.
In the women's division, it was Novotna who took third over Jungo in the losers finals, while Annabel Van Westerop met Gisela Pulido in the finals. With Van Westerop's consistency and ever-expanding arsenal of tricks, she was able to keep the pressure on the entire heat but finally fell as Pulido's power and execution led to a first place.

Hammer rides to omnium gold at final 2012/13 UCI Track World Cup
Aguascalientes, Mexico (January 20, 2013) — In the final UCI Track World Cup of the 2012/13 season, Sarah Hammer (Temecula, Calif./Performance United - FELT) rode to victory in the women's omnium. Hammer, who won silver in the women's omnium last year at the London Olympics, finished with 14 total points, seven fewer than runner-up Li Huang of China.
On Friday, after placing third in the flying lap, Hammer finished the first day of omnium competition with wins in both the points race and the elimination race. Saturday began with Hammer placing second in the individual pursuit, an event she holds the world record in after setting it in Aguascalientes in 2010. She then rode to third in the scratch race and fourth in the time trial to secure her victory.
Without any of the other world cup omnium winners contesting the event in Aguascalientes, Hammer's win earned her the overall UCI Track World Cup omnium title. Cari Higgins (Boulder, Colo./ ExergyTwenty16) finished the season ranked tenth in the omnium standings after placing fourth in the event at the world cup in Cali, Colombia, in October and tenth in Glasgow, Scotland, in November.
Hammer also contested the points race on Thursday, January 17. She finished in 15th in "a very fast, very aggressive race," said Benjamin Sharp, USA Cycling's High Performance Director of Endurance Programs. "The altitude took its toll as riders lost a lot of power and energy late in the race," Sharp said. Aguascalientes is located at more than 6,000 feet above sea level.
American track cyclists will again head south of the border to the 2013 Pan Am Continental Track Championships in Mexico City from February 5 through 10. Later that month, USA Cycling will field a squad for the 2013 UCI Track World Championships in Minsk, Belarus. Those riders will be announced in early February.

Is Your HDMI-Connected Gear Ready for 3D?
Illustration by Raquel Chilson
Oh, boy. Where do I begin? Fasten your seatbelts; it's going to be a bumpy night. So…wires. You plug one end into A and the other end into B. Then electrons or some other things take care of the rest. Pretty simple, right? In the analog audio and video days, as long as the connectors were compatible, that usually worked.
Not so with digital. It's all about bandwidth, chip sets, firmware, and transport streams. Keeping up with the latest digital interconnections is a full-time job. HDMI is the preferred way to convey uncompressed A/V data between devices such as Blu-ray Disc players, receivers, and HDTVs. And HDMI is attractive because one cable can carry high-definition video and up to eight channels of audio, and HDMI-linked devices can be designed to control one another. HDMI is also "universal" because, for example, it's agnostic with respect to ATSC (North America) and DVB-T (Europe and elsewhere) digital television standards, conveying both equally well. HDMI is also backward compatible with DVI digital video signals, and it uses HDCP copy protection. Great stuff. And pretty simple again, right? Not really.
Like any technology, HDMI has evolved. Starting with version 1.0, which first showed up in products in 2003, it progressed through many different versions until reaching v1.4. That standard was released in May 2009 and offered some key improvements over v1.3. For example, it added an Ethernet connection channel to enable data sharing between connected devices as well as an audio-return channel. (Both features are optional; manufacturers aren't required to implement them in HDMI v1.4 products.) Most significant for our discussion here, it defined specifications for conveying 3D video. This 3D upgrade is a bit confusing. (Is your seatbelt secured?)
HDMI v1.4 provides support for the mandatory 3D 1080p/24 (movie) and 720p 60 (game) formats. "High Speed" HDMI cables currently used for v1.3 can carry 3D but not the optional v1.4 Ethernet channel. (You'll need a "High Speed with Ethernet" cable for that.) Now, there's where it starts to get dicey. Some HDMI v1.3 devices will support 3D video. For example, if you have a PS3, Sony plans to provide firmware upgrades that the company says will let you output 3D video from the console's existing port when watching 3D Blu-ray Discs. Knowing exactly what it is that your gear's HDMI connections can and cant' do can be confusing. For example, Sony claims that its newest "3D-ready" Blu-ray players can output 3D video, but because the ports don't support the full set of HDMI v1.4 features, the company isn't specifying which HDMI version is provided on the players.

Baseball is America's favorite pastime, as the saying goes. And tonight with game 1 of the World Series, which pits the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Phillies, fans and teams alike will wind up for a nearly a week and a half of baseball mania. We wanted to know what another baseball-crazed nation, the Dominican Republic, thinks of the sport, so we asked Nelson Figueroa, Santo Domingo project coordinator, to weigh in on the topic.
Baseball in the Dominican Republic is considered a national entertainment. This is the sport that gathers all levels of society. Pretty much life in the DR flows around baseball and the teams of the Dominican Baseball League. As a matter of fact, we have a saying here. Dominicans talk about two things: the ìballitic,î or baseball and politics.
The children generally like to wear the colors of their favorite team. There is no place in which people donít talk about who is or isnít the best player. Baseball makes the front page of the newspaper all the time. Even politicians use baseball terms in their political material.
Everyday language uses baseball terms. For example, when a person does something illegal, people say, ìHe/she batted a foul.î In contrast, when a person does something really good people say, ìHe/she hit a home run through the 411.î The number ì411î is the measurement through the center field of the largest stadium in the country.
It starts early
In general, the life of Dominicans flows around this sport, and children start playing it at a young age.
We could probably say that children start playing at about age five, but they begin learning the basics when they take their first steps. In fact, one of their very first gifts is a plastic baseball bat and ball. Children play in parks, streets, their backyards and on organized leagues.
The organized league starts with the mini league at age 5 to 7. The organized leagues are for boys only. Girls usually play informally.
Improvising the equipment
Children usually play baseball in the streets. They use juice or milk cartons as mitts by flattening them and making a horizontal opening for the finger, similar to regular baseball mitts. Baseball bats are made with broomsticks or a piece of wood carved to the shape of a bat.
Many times the balls are rubber balls sold locally, but most of the time they are made by wrapping a small rock with paper and holding it with tape. Once that is done, they put the ball inside of a sock to form the ball.
Children use anything available for the bases: electric posts, trash, rocks, whatever wonít blow away. Sometimes they paint bases on the floor with paint or charcoal.
A famous legacy
The most popular baseball player in the Dominican Republic is Juan Marichal, the only Dominican player in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in the U.S.
The Professional Baseball League of the Dominican Republic is the major league, and the season starts in October. Most Dominican baseball players in the U.S. come from this league. At the same time, players from other countries are brought here as support.
For some time, the town of San Pedro de Macoris turned out many professional baseball players. I donít know the reason why so many baseball players came from this town. Nowadays, there are players from all over the countryófamous players such as Pedro Martinez, Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Hanley Ramirez, Vladimir Guerrero, Albert Pujols, Miguel Tejada, Placido Polanco, Alex RodrÌguez, JosÈ Reyes, Omar Minaya (general manager for the New York Mets), Robinson Cano, and others.
Of course, one of the dreams of our boys and their families is for them to become a professional baseball player. It is a way out of poverty
CFCAís Santo Domingo project does not usually organize baseball games as recreation because children usually play it in their own communities.
Check back tomorrow to read an interview between Nelson and Samuel, a 17-year-old sponsored youth from Santo Domingo.

Whilst initially developed as a diagnostic aid to improve echogenicity in ultrasound imaging, gas-filled lipid microbubbles are now emerging as a next generation \'theranostic\' tool in the medical arena. Here, their therapeutic potential has now been realized through their unique capability to deliver molecular species such as drugs and genes by means of disrupting the cell membrane in response to ultrasound wave stimulus. This paper presents the development of a finite element model used to validate an in-house design for a microfluidic microbubble generator. COMSOL Multiphysics v4.1 was used to generate a 2D model which was firstly compared directly against our observational results to confirm its accuracy and furthermore to form parameterized studies in order to characterize the chip design.

9News, state veterinarians team up to offer free pet wellness exams for people needing financial help
Veterinarians across Colorado are teaming up with 9News and other partners to offer free wellness exams and rabies vaccinations.
The project, 9PetCheck, is a joint effort with the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association, Rocky Mountain PBS and more than 40 veterinary clinics to help financially pinched pet owners,
Appointments are required at each of the participating veterinary clinics. Pet owners who can't afford to take their cats and dogs to a veterinarian can make an appointment by calling 9NEWS Pet Check Line9 (1-877-667-6727) on July 25 from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Veterinarians have long advocated annual visits for animals. In that way, they can spot and treat minor problems before they become major ones.
Also, summer is a prime time for rabies outbreaks because animals carrying the disease, such as skunks, are on the move during warm weather.
The Colorado Veterinary Medical Association is a statewide professional association of veterinarians, based in Denver. 9News is a media partner of The Denver Post.
According to a 9News spokesperson, the free exams are for people living on a restricted or low income or those who are unemployed.
Here is a list of cities where participating veterinary clinics are located:
Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Broomfield, Carbondale,
Castle Rock, Centennial, Denver, Elizabeth, Erie,
Golden, Grand Junction, Greeley, Gunnison, Highlands Ranch, Johnstown, La Junta, Lafayette, Littleton, Lone Tree, Pueblo, Steamboat Springs, Sterling, Windsor and Yuma.
For more information on pet health, visit www.colovma.org and click on "Resources for Pet Owners." To find a veterinarian in your area, click on "Find a Veterinarian."
Animal tracks: Is there a cause-and-effect relationship between pet ownership and better physical and mental health? New research by a team of psychologists from Miami University and St. Louis University indicates there is, according to a story on WashingtonPost.com.
In the first part of the research, 217 people answered questionnaires designed to determine whether pet owners tend to be different from people who do not own pets. The researchers found that there were lots of differences, with pet owners faring much better overall.
In the second part, researchers gathered detailed information about how the subjects related to their dogs, and to other people. The owners tended to get the most benefit from having a canine companion when their dogs "complemented rather than competed" with humans in their lives.
In the last experiment, people writing about pets was just as effective as writing about a friend in terms of rejection. . .
Nurse's Note – Nine low-cost spay/neuter clinics along the Front Range have joined forces with BeauJo's Pizza and Denver B-Cycle in an effort to increase the number of cats and dogs that are spayed/neutered.
Using the "Nurse Nancy Nurse's Note," area clinics hope to entice individuals to get their pets fixed by offering rewards for food, drinks and transportation whenever they complete a spay or neuter.
"After being in the community for a number of special events, I've found that low cost wasn't enough to motivate a lot of folks," said Nurse Nancy, the comic character played by Amy Angellili, CEO of The Feline Fix. "I am now offering pet owners rewards for pizza, beer and even bicycling.
The Nurse's Note is part of the "Nurse Nancy" social media campaign and is available on the Nurse Nancy website at www.nursenancypresents.com. In order to receive the reward cards, individuals can print the note from the website and present it to one of the nine participating clinics listed on the site. Once the procedure has been completed, they will receive reward cards good for BeauJo's Pizza and B-Cycle.
The Nurse Nancy campaign is a social media campaign created to reach men and women between the ages of 21 and 35 after a recent PetSmart Charities study showed they were the least likely demographic to get their pets spayed or neutered.
You can view the Nurse Nancy Twitter page at @nursenancysays and the Nurse Nancy video series on YouTube at NurseNancyPresents. You can also visit Nurse Nancy at www.facebook.com/nursenancypresents.

Planned Parenthood
A clinic giving away free abortions in return for
a) money
b) reffering freinds to do the same
|Visit http://www.plannedparenthood.com today for yours!
Would you like to learn more about abortions? (You would, wouldn't you?)
At Planned Parenthood, our goal is to provide you with quality free abortions, and a month's worth of condoms, at a reasonable price. We unconditionally guarantee every free abortion we give away for the full amount of purchase! If you're not satisfied, well, there's not too much we can do after the fact. It's sorta irreversible. Here, have some more condoms. These glow in the dark. And hey, no questions asked! And if anyone ever asks, you were never here!
How can we do it?
Our super-efficient Vac-A-Bort is located in the heart of our high-tech facilities, well within your city limits. Nobody franchises abortions like the 'Hood. Consisting of three unregistered nurses and a small Croatian doctor, each Planned Parenthood can ship up to five fetuses per day directly to a stem cell research facility! Many shipments even include pieces of other shipments! And if anyone ever asks, you were never here!
Our customers agree!
Please note that this offer does not apply in most of Africa, all of South America, the upper west side of Malaysia, Pangea, BP-land, Uranus, Middle Earth, or Texas. (Texas has stringent stipulations that prevent abortions, except in the rarest and most severe of situations. However, once you are popped out of the womb, they won't think twice to put your ass down. That's the sanctity of life.)
Pleased to note you that the government is not actually giving away abortions or condoms. It is you, the taxpayer, who does that. Does that boil your poodle? To think, you just paid for that escort's ninth abortion this year and supplied enough prophylactics for a million couples to perform the latex lambada. And the gays! They're having protected sex, now! Leave it to them to circumvent AIDS. You know, this country has really gone to the dogs. Why can't my taxes just cover the stuff that matters? How will we ever keep stockpiling nuclear armaments and spreading democracy to all the unfortunate and ugly people of the world if we've gotta keep throwing money at abortions and public school textbooks? It really is ridiculous.
Please can't stop noting now that Planned Parenthood does not provide any warranties or other asssurances whatsoever that your once-happy community will not be severely and perhaps irrevocably affected by pointless, petty, nasty, mean-spirited, ugly, emotionally disturbing, vulgar, hateful, divisive, insane, (did we mention "petty" yet?) stupid, incoherent, malicious, cheap, narrow-minded, pusillanimous, despicable, incomprehensible, and seriously gay ad hominem personal attacks regarding the dissemination of information about Planned Parenthood.
Please remember to not note that if you read this article, or even so much as glance at it, you will be blocked from being openly received into the folds of Heaven for indefinitely. During that time, you may go to Hell, or West Heck even, which is surprisingly much more pleasant than imagined. Play with your pet Hitler, have wild sex with your spouse or "someone else's," bake a pie without need of a convection oven, ride the backs of winged demons to that damned hipster hangout, Pandemonium, a nightclub renowned for their "spicy empanadas" and "hatefuck-fueled fantasies of unholy mass copulations around every corner", dive into a pool of molten lava (well, duh), watch yet another tedious episode of Soap beside Robert Guillaume, or even edit Purgatopedia. The purpose of this eternal damnation is to allow Jehovah to teabag your soul, in order to demonstrate His superiority over you at the task of maintaining the appropriate level of sycophancy. If you should be stupid enough to question His almighty judgement, you will probably just be huffed from existence, which would be a shame, really, because Nixon's orgy is tonight and there's a buzz that Satan is bringing the poppers. So just chill the fuck out and enjoy your eternity, lest your energy just return to the void from whence it came and your consciousness fades into the ether. And what fun is being dead if you can't even bitch about it? Should you remain stupid enough to complain after being so thoroughly warned against being stupid enough to complain, you will, in all likelihood, grow to realize that the whole thing was just a sort of long-running, international pyramid scheme preying upon basic mammalian physiological imperatives in the quest for fat cash stacks and thought control. At that point, you might as well just embrace nothingness and be done with the whole thing.

Hi! I am looking for information about current research and theories on how you could "connect" a human mind with a computer, or with another human ( or not human! ) mind. I mean some sort of mind link with instant or almost instant data interchange or sharing. For example to make a neural connection with a Cray supercomputer while developing a mathemthical theory and let it do the calculations while you do the reasoning. I wonder if somebody could point out some sources where I could get more info about this topic. I am specially interested in non-invasive methods. Thank you in advance. Bye, Juan Pablo Vielma Please answer by email to jvielma at aix1.ucv.cl

52 Weeks of Genealogical Records in 2014 – Week 20 Mining Records
This blog challenge is to stimulate my own genealogy blogging efforts in 2014 by focusing on a different kind of genealogical record each week. I wanted a challenge that reflected my own archival background as well as my own genealogy interests and there are probably lots of other records that I could have included. The challenge has an Australian focus but most of these records will be found just about anywhere in the genealogy world.
The 52 different types of genealogical records I finally decided on are listed in no particular order (each week will be a random surprise). Originally I planned to do this over 52 weeks but I now realise that I have to factor in travel and illness so it will continue a little bit over a year. Anyone is welcome to do all or part of this blogging challenge. Let me know if you are participating and I will put a link to your post under each week's challenge.
So far I know of six bloggers who are taking up the challenge from time to time and I have put links to their individual entries at the end of each week's blog if they have submitted something for that week. Thanks Judy Webster, Sharn White, Cassmob, Anne, Campaspe Library and Sharon for participating and encouraging me to keep up the blog challenge myself!
Also participating in this blog challenge:

Week 20 Mining Records
This is a favourite topic of mine as so many of my ancestors were miners. It was even behind the decision to write the research guide Tracing Your Mining Ancestors: A Brief Guide to Resources in Australia and New Zealand, published by Unlock the Past earlier this year.
I have Cornish tin miners who came out to South Australia in the 1860s, coal miners who came out from Staffordshire who came out to New South Wales and later moved to Queensland mining for gold, coal and copper in a variety of places and even my Irish ancestors tried their hand at tin mining in Stanthorpe in the 1870s.
On my son's side of the family there are gold miners everywhere and they are typical of miners everywhere. They moved around starting out in Sydney, then moving to the Victorian goldfields of the 1850s, then to the Gympie goldfields in Queensland before making the big trek across to Western Australia for the 1890s gold rushes.
There are not many indexes to miners but the place to start is with the relevant state archives as they will have the government records and there is usually a brief guide or fact sheet that will highlight the most frequently used resources. Trove is another place to big up clues as shareholders may have been mentioned in newspapers when mining companies started up. I have also been fairly lucky finding references to some of my families in published local histories and of course, the local genealogy and family history society and historical society are also worth investigating.
Sometimes you can literally strike gold on your ancestors. For example, on 27 March 1897 The Queenslander published a series of profiles on successful Gympie gold miners and included was a profile on John Barrow Atkinson, my son's great great grandfather. It starts with the words ' John Barrow Atkinson first saw the light life in 1845 at Calthouse on the banks of Windermere Lake, Lancashire, England' and then goes on to tell the story of his life. Without that article I would never have known what jobs he had in Lancashire, nor that he went to New Zealand before coming to Queensland. He also went to a number of smaller gold fields before finally ending up in Gympie where he was most successful.
He married Emma Bullen and his two brothers in law, William and George Bullen took their families from Gympie to the West Australian goldfields in the 1890s. One of my favourite websites for the Kalgoorlie/Boulder area is Outback Family History and there are links to all kinds of useful resources including books, cemeteries, schools, maps, military, people and places. A simple name search of the site brings up references to my Bullen family in postal directories, marriage indexes and cemeteries.
The site has even digitised some books and then linked the references to the images. One of Emma's sisters also went to Kalgoorlie with her husband David Louden and family. Their son Henry was killed in France in 1917 and while I had found his military dossier online at the National Archives of Australia, I had no photo of him in uniform. On the Outback Family History website section on WW1Soldiers, Goldfields there is a very nice image of Henry Louden which was previously published in the Kalgoorlie Miner.
I have yet to travel to Kalgoorlie (still on my genealogy bucket list) but in the meantime I can do some research online to complement information obtained from certificates and other government records and family sources.
Although miners can be difficult to trace because they moved around, with persistence you can trace them through certificates, children's school records, newspapers, hospital records and so on. If you cannot find anything on a miner direct, try other family members including their wife, children and don't forget siblings. Follow up all clues and hopefully you will learn more about your mining ancestors.
Hi Shauna – I wrote a little while ago about a mining accident in which one of my husband's relatives was injured. http://ayfamilyhistory.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/u-is-for-union-mine-disaster.html One source for Victorian miners, other than newspapers, is the Victorian Mining Accident Index compiled by Dave Evans at http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/resources/victorian-mining-accident-index. The on-line index has information of about 5,600 miners killed or injured from the early 1850s to the 1940s. There is also a more comprehensive index available on CD-ROM with about 9,100 names and more details.
best wishes
The mining index URL has moved and is now at http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/resources/victorian-mining-accident-index
sorry about that
Thanks Anne for the update. That is a great index for the Ballarat area

Though the gay nightclub massacre occurred in Orlando, Florida, the grief spread far and wide, including to San Francisco, 2,500 miles away.
Starr Shelton, of San Francisco, said her ex-partner, 37-year old Kimberly "KJ" Morris, was a bouncer at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando and one of the 49 victims who died during Sunday's mass shooting. The Torrington, Connecticut native had started working at the club just two weeks ago.
The two first met in Boston in 2014, but parted ways when Shelton moved to San Francisco to work on a master's degree.
It was Morris' smile that first captured Shelton's heart.
"I just knew she was the perfect person for me," Shelton said.
Shelton said Morris recently moved back to Orlando to take care of her 85-year-old mother. Despite the distance, Shelton said they had still talked every day, including the night of the shooting. Hours before Morris was killed, she sent her "best friend" a text.
"I said 'I miss you' and her last words back were 'I miss you too,' " Shelton said.
She doesn't exactly know what happened Sunday night, but she can certainly guess: "I know in her her last moments, she would have helped people. She's never been a coward, she's never run away from anything."
Shelton plans to fly out to Orlando for the funeral services for Morris.
"I want people to know she's a wonderful person," Shelton said. "A great spirit bringing joy to everyone around her."

The two proposed exemptions to disclosure contained in the House-passed farm bill (HR 2642) would broadly inhibit public understanding of agriculture issues and prevent valuable uses of public information in our democracy. Congressional negotiators will decide the fate of these provisions as they reconcile differences between farm bills passed in the U.S. House and Senate starting this week.
Section 1613
One provision (Sec. 1613) contained in the bill that passed the House (HR 2642), would create a presumption of secrecy about farming operations by prohibiting any agency from disclosing on a discretionary basis information submitted to it "concerning an agricultural operation, farming or conservation practices or the land itself."
Five years ago Congress barred the Agriculture Department from releasing this information (See: http://projects.propublica.org/foia-exemptions/statutes/14), but this proposal expands that to all federal agencies subject to FOIA, which currently number about 100. This proposal drops wording that expressly allowed agencies to release information in statistical form, masking identities of individual farmers. Further, it would only allow disclosure of information about farming operations if Congress expressly required public disclosure or the farmer consents or otherwise publicly discloses the information. Finally, the proposed language does not comply with the requirements that Congress established under the OPEN FOIA Act of 2009 by failing to properly cite the section of existing FOIA statute that recognizes statutory exemption to FOIA. This proposal sets a bad precedent for the federal FOIA and deserves further refinement to better articulate a need and allow public scrutiny before creating new exemptions to disclosure.
This provision would undermine the flow of information about farms and farming practices that have nothing to do with personal privacy. If enacted, it would inhibit:
- Studies of farmland operations and impacts on public health.
- Exchange of information between federal, state and local authorities
- Accurate land value assessments
- Avoid waste of taxpayer dollars intended to subsidize struggling farmers
Section 11325
Another provision in the House bill (Sec. 11325) would bar the EPA from disclosing any "identifying location information" under a water pollution law "or any other law." The provision gives examples of contact information it would protect that is already protected under current law. In addition, the proposal applies far more broadly by prohibiting disclosure of "other identifying location information," which would create impacts similar to those under Section 1613.
Supporters of these provisions have yet to adequately explain why such broad exemptions to disclosure are necessary.
- Existing law already protections personal privacy information.
- Fourteen different laws on the books exempt agriculture-related information from disclosure under the FOIA, including the prohibition slipped into the 2008 farm bill during the conference negotiations.
- According to USDA figures, the 2008 farm bill provision (7 U.S.C. 8791) has been cited to deny records requests several hundred times every year since Congress enacted the law:
Given the strong public interest in the information covered under existing law, Congress ought to carefully consider any broadly worded exemptions to disclosure.

Water Industry Information
The PUCO regulates investor-owned water and wastewater companies throughout the state. If your water and wastewater provider is a municipality, county, cooperative, or water and/or sewer district, the PUCO does not regulate it. The water and wastewater industry is a complex system consisting of three main components: source, treatment, and distribution.

EDITORIAL: Lawsuit over denied ANWR plan is the right move
Gov. Sean Parnell has taken the next step in the long-running, slow-moving effort to tap the energy resources of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's coastal plain, an area that Congress decades ago recognized as having high oil and gas potential.
The governor on March 14 announced that the state has filed suit against the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over those agencies' refusal to consider the state's plan for exploratory oil and gas activity in the 1.5-million-acre coastal plain of ANWR as required by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980.
It's a good move and shows that the ANWR battle, although quieted nationally by an unfavorable White House and Senate, is far from over.
The source of the disagreement between the state and the federal agencies stems from a 2010-2011 Fish and Wildlife Service revising the 1988 ANWR comprehensive conservation plan, which deferred handling of the coastal plain to a 1987 ANWR resource assessment report that recommended Congress approve an oil and gas leasing program for the coastal plain.
The revision put forward by Fish and Wildlife officials didn't include an oil and gas option but did include two options for Congress to declare the coastal plain as wilderness.
That, rightly, set off some alarms in Alaska.
The state submitted an oil and gas exploration plan in 2013 but was rejected by Fish and Wildlife. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said authority for approving a plan expired with completion of the 1987 resource assessment report required by ANILCA.
The big flaw in the secretary's argument, however, is that ANILCA contains no expiration date for the authority to approve a plan. The process outlined for approval of a plan of exploration activity remains on the books.
So the secretary must follow through with the process, which requires that any exploration plan submitted for approval and meeting the guidelines get at least one public comment hearing in the state and then be approved.
That hasn't happened.
Section 1002 of ANILCA authorizes "exploratory activity within the coastal plain." It defines the activity as "surface geological exploration or seismic exploration, or both, for oil and gas within the coastal plain."
And that's what the plan submitted to the Interior Department by Gov. Parnell proposes: 3-D seismic testing to obtain up-to-date information about the coastal plain, which the U.S. Energy Information Administration describes as "the largest unexplored, potentially productive onshore basin in the United States."
It is hoped, of course, that fresh and fuller information about ANWR's oil and gas potential will convince Congress and a future president —President Obama will never do it — to allow oil and gas development in the coastal plain.
We're arguing over an area that Congress has already recognized as having high energy potential. Refusal by the Interior Department and the Fish and Wildlife Service to follow a process that exists in law cannot go unchallenged.
The state seems to have a good case to make. Alaskans — Republicans, Democrats and others — should support the governor in this action.

How to reinstall MacOS without disc?
Learn how to install the Mac operating system again on your Mac.
Before you begin
If you're selling or giving away your Mac, you should first disable certain features and services. Then follow the steps in this article.
Otherwise, the easiest way to reinstall macOS is to install it again from the Mac App Store. If you can't reinstall using the Mac App Store, follow the steps in this article.
Start up from macOS Recovery
macOS Recovery installs different versions of macOS depending on the key combination you press while starting up. Hold down one of these combinations immediately after pressing the power button to turn on your Mac. Release when you see the Apple logo or a spinning globe.
Reinstall the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac, without upgrading to a later version.
Upgrade to the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.
Requires macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later Reinstall the macOS that came with your Mac, or the version closest to it that is still available.
1. If you're selling or giving away a Mac that is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, use Option-Command-R to make sure that the installation isn't associated with your Apple ID.
2. If you haven't already installed macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later, Option-Command-R reinstalls the macOS that came with your Mac, or the version closest to it that is still available.
When you see the macOS Utilities window, continue to the next section to determine whether to erase your startup disk or begin reinstalling macOS.
Erase your startup disk, if necessary
After starting up from macOS Recovery, decide whether to erase your startup disk or begin reinstalling macOS. You should erase your startup disk in these circumstances:
•You're selling or giving away your Mac, so you're clearing your Mac of anything associated with you, your data, or your Apple ID.
•You want to resolve an issue that Disk Utility can't repair.
•The macOS installer says that it can't install on your computer or volume, or that your startup disk can't be used to start up your computer. For example, if you try to install an older macOS on top of a newer macOS, the installer will say that it can't because a newer version is installed.
If none of these circumstances apply to you, skip to the next section to begin reinstalling macOS.
Erasing your startup disk permanently deletes all of the data stored on it.
If you need to erase your startup disk, follow these steps:
1. Select Disk Utility from the utilities window of macOS Recovery, then click Continue.
2. Select your startup disk in the sidebar of Disk Utility.
Select the disk name, not the volume name indented beneath it.
3.Click the Erase button or tab.
If you don't see an erase button or tab, select the volume name indented beneath the disk name, then look again.
4. Complete these fields:
• Name: Enter a name for your disk, such as "Macintosh HD".
• Format: Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
• Scheme (if available): Choose GUID Partition Map.
5. Click Erase to begin erasing your disk.
6. When done, quit Disk Utility to return to the utilities window. You're now ready to reinstall macOS.
Disk Utility window
In this example, the sidebar shows APPLE SSD as the disk name and Macintosh HD as the volume name.
Reinstall macOS
Follow these steps after starting up from macOS Recovery:
1.Choose Reinstall macOS (or Reinstall OS X) from the utilities window.
2.Click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions. You'll be asked to select a startup disk and click Install.
To verify eligibility to install macOS, your Mac serial number is sent to Apple, and you might be asked for your Apple ID.
3.Your Mac restarts after installation is complete.
If you erased your disk before reinstalling, or you're creating a new startup disk, your Mac restarts to a setup assistant.
•If you're keeping your Mac, complete the setup assistant with your own information.
•If you're selling or giving away your Mac, press Command-Q to quit the setup assistant without performing any of the setup steps. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup. (source: from apple)

DANBURY, Conn. – Danbury's Mark Boughton reached across to the other side of the state Tuesday to name his running mate in his bid to become governor of Connecticut.
The Danbury mayor named former Groton Mayor Heather Somers as his choice to run for lieutenant governor with him. Somers is serving her fifth term on the Town Council in Groton.
Boughton's choice is viewed as a bid to diversify his voter base to another region of the state. It also reflects Boughton's focus on jobs. Somers is a founding partner of a medical device manufacturer and was chair of the Groton Town Council's Economic Development Committee. She is a graduate of the University of Connecticut and is vice president of international sales and marketing for Hollister Inc., which is based in Illinois.
"She is someone with a tremendous amount of potential," said Groton Mayor Rita M. Schmidt, a Democrat. "She's vitally interested in what's going on in the community, and she is a very genuine person."
Greenwich businessman Tom Foley is expected to announce his candidacy on Wednesday. Foley, a Republican, lost to Gov. Dannel Malloy in 2010, and Boughton was his running mate. State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, of Fairfield, state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton and Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti are also expected to be among the Republicans seeking their party's nomination for governor.
The Republican State Convention is May 16 to 17. A primary, if necessary, would be held Aug. 12. Malloy has not yet announced whether he is running for re-election.

England exiled its criminals to the US, and after the American Revolution, they sent them to Australia. At the time, crime was thought to be inherent or genetic; if you committed a crime, you could not be rehabilitated. In essence, you and your descendents carried a fatal stain in the blood that could never be eradicated. The journey to Australia was a long one and many prisoners died en route if they had no friends to help them prepare for the journey. The fortunate ones carried citrus with them to prevent scurvy.
In Wildness and Razor Wire, Ken Lamberton demonstrated how important friends and family still are to surviving the prison experience. Today, it is the poor and minorities who compose the overwhelming majority of the prison population because they cannot afford qualified legal help and because the war on drugs is fought primarily against them. Our present attitude towards criminals has changed little from England's attitude 250 years ago. All that has really changed is that we lock people in cells here rather than exile them to a foreign country.
