Installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad R60e
There are no particular problems installing Ubuntu on a R60e.
Most of the information here is based on a clean install of 6.06.1 with upgrade to 7.04 via 6.10. Significant changes that apply to Edgy (6.10) and Feisty (7.04) are noted here. The current development version 'Gutsy Gibbon' can be installed from the 'Tribe 1 alternate CD'; significant changes likely affect the final release (7.10) will also be noted here.
Ubuntu 6.10 "Edgy Eft"
If the wireless kill switch is active during boot, that is wireless and bluetooth are switched off, there is a high probability that a "soft lockup on CPU0" will occur during boot. Boot appears to be ok provided the wireless is on during boot. See Bug 63418.
The problem with the wireless kill switch seems to have been fixed in kernel 2.6.20.
Partition and Boot
If the Windows and Service Partitions are to be retained then the Gnome Partition Editor can be used from the live cd to shrink the Windows partition (sda1). The IBM recovery partition is placed at the end of the HD disk and contains a cut down version of WinNT. Note that the Recovery partion is not located on a cylinder boundary and is placed between 'unused' disk areas, 3MB in front and 7MB behind. These appear to contain the diagnostics programs and should not be moved or resized if the diagnostics and R&R programs are required.
To repartion: boot to Windows and immediately create a Rescue and Recover disk set. The first disc of the set must be a CD (though if you put a DVD in it will be formatted and writen as a CD disc); this is a bootable disc. The second stage of the disc writing process will write to either one DVD or 5 CDs. Restoring from these disks will restore to factory state, which means the entire hard drive is reformatted. After the disc set is created it is not possible to create a second set. (Although if you update the R+R program you can create a new backup CD/DVD.)
However, if you have a USB HD you can also create a Rescue and Recovery copy on that. I have not tried (sucessfully) but I it should be possible to boot and restore from a USB HD recovery set and preserve any new partitions provided that: the windows partition is not too small, and the Recovery partition is preserved.
boot with Ubuntu live CD, use Gnome Partition editor to shrink the IBM_PRELOAD (sda1) partition.
reboot to Windows and let it run chkdsk
boot Ubuntu Live CD and install
The live CD will install GRUB to the MBR. For most users with a simple dual boot (Linux + Win) this will be fine; the installer will identify both IBM_PRELOAD and the service partition and provide boot options for both. (If you have need of a more complex boot arrangement, such as multiple linux versions then install using the Ubuntu alternate install CD.) Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the hide and unhide lines (this will prevent Windows showing the Service Partition).
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/sda1 title Microsoft Windows XP Professional hide (hd0,1) root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/sda2 title IBM/Lenovo Maintenance unhide (hd0,1) root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1
For current versions (from 6.10) the default kernel linux-image-generic will fully support SMP and CoreDuo processors so installing a kernel should not be necessary. Restricted modules are required for the Intel wireless card.
Xorg.config for two screens
Intel 945GM
The config options are described in the driver man page
$ man i810. The following sections are for a configuration with the laptop screen as the primary display and an second display on the D-SUB15 analog VGA port. The second display is expected to be a flat panel or a data projector ('beamer').
There are some tradeoffs with Xorg.conf, the version below is intended to give the best available resolution with a variety of external screens without the need to change xorg.conf. See the notes at the end of this section for some other optimisations.
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel 945GM Internal LCD" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Screen 0 Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP" VideoRAM 126976 EndSection
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel 945GM External D-SUB15" Driver "i810" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Screen 1
# some additional possibilities (see man i810 for cryptic explanations) # Option "CheckLid" "yes" # Option "Clone" "no" # Option "CloneRefresh" "60" # Option "FlipPrimary" "no" # Option "DisplayInfo" "yes" # Option "Rotate" "0" # Option "DevicePresence" "true" # Option "LinearAlloc" "0" # Option "Legacy3D" "no" # Option "AperTextSize" "32768" EndSection
Resolution and timing
X and the graphics adaptor will detect an external screen if present and attempt to auto negotiate an appropriate resolution and refresh rate. It is unclear from the Xorg/XFree documentation how the useable video modes are selected/rejected but it appears that if a monitor is connected to the VGA connector the highest available VESA resolution will not be selected unless it has a refresh rate of 75Hz or more. As the optimum refresh rate for a flat panel display is usualy 60Hz, and often the highest (native) resolution only available at this rate, it may be necessary to set a mode line for best performance.
In the case of a data projector, these appear designed to accept inputs for resolutions and refresh rates far in excess of their native SVGA or XGA capabilities and automaticaly convert down, which may entail a loss of image quality. Thus, for these also, forcing a reasonable resolution and refresh rate is desirable.
The possible modes for a connected monitor can be discovered by looking at the X log file
$ sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf or by running
$ xvidtune.
Section "Modes" Identifier "V75" ModeLine "VGA 75" 31.50 640 656 720 840 480 481 484 500 ModeLine "SVGA 75" 49.50 800 816 896 1056 600 601 604 625 ModeLine "XGA 75" 78.80 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 Modeline "SXGA 75" 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "V60" Modeline "XGA 60" 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 ModeLine "SXGA 60" 108.00 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 ModeLine "UXGA 60" 160.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 EndSection
The monitor
Most recent monitors will supply X with data on available built in modes, and this will overide the HorizSync and VertRefresh values in the config file. However some projectors do not supply this information and fail to display unless the HorizSync and VertRefresh are configured.
Section "Monitor" Identifier "LCD on D-SUB15" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 31-75 VertRefresh 59-75 UseModes "V60" UseModes "V75" EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "External Screen" Device "Intel 945GM External D-SUB15" Monitor "LCD on D-SUB15" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 # Modes "1024x768" "1280x1024" "1600x1200" "640x480" "600x800" Modes "XGA 60" "SXGA 60" "UXGA 60" "VGA 75" "SVGA 75" EndSubSection EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "Laptop LCD" Device "Intel 945GM Internal LCD" Monitor "Lenovo 15in LCD" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" # Virtual 1600 1200 # ViewPort 0 0 EndSubSection EndSection
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Laptop LCD" Absolute 0 0 Screen 1 "External Screen" RightOf "Laptop LCD" # Screen 1 "External Screen" Absolute 1024 0 InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection
Note 1 With this layout the mouse will move off the right hand edge of the laptop screen and make an entrance on the left of the external monitor. If you can't find the mouse it may be on the other screen, try moving it top left.
Note 2 The gnome desktop can be configured for each monitor. But it is not possible to transfer a window from on display to the other. Trying to start Firefox on one desktop when it is opened on another monitor will give a message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system".
Xinerama To be able to drag windows from one screen to another and fix the problem in Note 2, enable Xinerama extension. However with Xinerama enabled the resolution of the external display will default to XGA, the same as the laptop screen. The Gnome menu System:Preferences:Screen Resolution will respond with: "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available", nor will Gnome provide a separate desktop task bar etc. note [here] This problem can be overcome by defining the preferred resolution - and only that resolution - for the screen and server layout. eg.
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Dell 2001FP" DisplaySize 408 306 Option "DPMS" HorizSync 31-80 VertRefresh 56-76 ModeLine "1600x1200" 160.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "External UXGA" Device "Intel 945GM External D-SUB15" Monitor "DELL 2100FP" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "1280x1024" "1600x1200" "640x480" "600x800" EndSubSection EndSection
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Laptop LCD" Absolute 0 0 # To move windows across screen we need Xinerama and will have to force # the screen reolution if we want more than 1024x768 (XGA) Option "Xinerama" "true" Screen 1 "External UXGA" RightOf "Laptop LCD" Screen 1 "External Screen" Absolute 1024 0 InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection
This may be a better config if you always use the same external screen, but less satisfactory if you need to connect to a variety of external screens. The RandR extension is currently under development so some of these problems may be resolved with newer versions of RandR see: Xorg Developer Conference 2007 and X RandR v1.2.
Screen Brightness control
In 7.04 there is a problem with the Fn+home Fn+End screen brightness controls Bug 87028.
The workaround is to disable video.o
echo blacklist video | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/local
Unfortunately this only fixes the blanking screen, using the Fn+Home and Fn+End provides values of bright and dim but no intermediate values Bug 61184. A fix has been posted. First check what you have
# lshal|grep smbios.system smbios.system.version = 'ThinkPad R60e' (string) smbios.system.product = '06574TG' (string) smbios.system.manufacturer = 'LENOVO' (string)
then edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi
# sudo nano -w /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi
The original release 7.04 had a <device> block for LENOVO that tested the version string for X, T, and Z model ThinkPads but not R. A subsequent update to hal has modified the file to <deviceinfo version="0.2"> and removed the Lenovo specific code. Add to the file
<device> <match key="info.category" string="laptop_panel"> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:smbios.system.manufacturer" string="LENOVO"> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:smbios.system.version" contains="ThinkPad R"> <merge key="laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </match> </device>
save the file then
# sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal restart
and restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) Note: the onscreen bar display will not display the changed level.
There is an option in the BIOS setup to disable the modem which seems a good idea if the modem is not needed. Do not do this, if the modem is disabled then sound will not work with Ubuntu (6.06 and Edgy knot2). (Sound does however work in WinXP with the modem disabled)
Mouse and TrackPoint
see How to configure the TrackPoint Note however that to modify sensitivity and scroll rate on R60e with Ubuntu 6.06 the commands are:
# echo -n 96 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/speed # echo -n 200 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/sensitivity
This needs to be typed in a root window; using sudo gives a permission denied.
You need to install linux-restricted-modules-generic, which contains the kernel module ath_pci. ath_pci is loaded automatically at system startup.
Feisty (7.04) includes network-manager, although useful for roaming it dosn't work well for networks which do not broadcast ESSID.
There seems to be a bug in edgy in relation to cpufreq governors. See Bug 70602 for details and a workaround.
Had to add following script to let the laptop go into supsend after the lid was closed:
#!/bin/sh #/etc/acpi/local/lid.sh.post grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state if [ $? = 0 ] ; then /etc/acpi/sleep.sh fi
7.04 (Feisty)
Both Sleep (fn+4) and Hibernate (fn+12) appear to work.
If not used: see above re sound
If used: install mwave then it should work.
to be continued
Bluetooth [setup appears ok, untested due to lack of bluetooth device]
FnF2 lock Screen working
FnF3 Display Battery Condition
FnF4 Sleep can be configured in Gnome power save option, but seems to disable fn+F12 hibernate; 'blank screen' sets screensaver (6.04 Dapper). Works without additional configration (7.04 Feisty).
FnF5 toggle Wireless/Bluetooth on/off
FnF7 Switch Screen? (no ibm/hotkey shown with
$ acpi_listen only effective if cloned displays?)
FnF8 TrackPoint? No Effect (ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001008)
FnF9 (ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001009) (Easy Eject in WinXP)
FnF12 Suspend to disk, seems to work, but not entirely reliable, some scrambling of text console display during restart Sometimes restart hangs after reading disk, need to deactivate/reactivate wireless. (6.06 Dapper). Works ok? (7.04 Feisty).
FnHome screen brighter (ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001010) (see notes above to fix regressions since 6.06 Dapper)
FnEnd screen dims (no ibm/hotkey shown with
$ acpi_listen)
FnPgUp ThinkLight on/off

All successful entrepreneurs are forward-looking. So much so that even when entrepreneurs are in the very early stages of starting their business, they are typically actively searching for future ways to improve it, grow it and expand it.
One of the greatest examples of successfully applying this approach is the disciplined and innovative mind behind Verity – Canada's premiere Women's networking club. The club's founder Mary Aitken began Verity as a stand-alone business where women could meet, network, relax and have fun.
But, Mary, who is a very successful entrepreneur, thoughtfully researched the targeted market and soon found the need to expand Verity to include a world-leading restaurant (George), an enviable spa (Sweetgrass) and most recently, a luxurious hotel (The Ivey).
For BusinessCast #125 — Starting and Growing Your Business, Mary sits down with Robert and me and shares her compelling and exciting story. She also highlights some key lessons relevant for all entrepreneurs. Whether you are starting, honing or expanding your business, Mary provides some practical tips as well as inspires you to keep looking forward — and thereby ensure your success.

II Jornadas de ELT at UNVM
Posted by Carla Raguseo in PD, Presentations on May 29, 2013
It generally takes a couple of days to sink in, to put things into perspective. The two hectic days spent at the "II Jornadas de ELT – Challenges in the English Language classroom" at Universidad Nacional de Villa María left me with notes, materials to try out, concepts to revisit or to explore further, but, above all, with some genuine connections and reflections. Here's a brief summary and my attempt to reflect on the experience I had the pleasure to share with my former high school classmate and colleague, Ana Miotti.
The conference featured two plenaries. The first one was on New Orientations in Language Learning Strategies by María Inés Valsecchi and María Celina Barbeito, who discussed Rebecca Oxford's latest work. In her 2011 book, the American researcher re- examines her own theory to accommodate the socio-cultural interactive dimension to language learning strategies. This change, as Barbeito pointed out, is in line with similar shifts in the research fields of motivation and autonomy discussed by Ema Ushioda and David Little at FAAPI 2012.
The closing plenary was in charge of Charly López, who gave a very lively talk on classroom management, a crucial aspect that is, unfortunately, often overlooked in teacher training.
UNVM teachers also offered a number of interesting workshops. We attended one on "Language Intercomprehension and its Relevance in the Teaching of Reading-Comprehension Skills in the Foreign Language" and another one on "Empowering Students' Writing Performance through Strategy Instruction".
On the Teachers' Forum and changing the state of knowledge
Probably the most challenging part for us was taking part in the Teachers' Forum. Forum presentations were divided into two thematic areas: Forum A: Social Studies and Forum B: The Use of Technology in the Classroom. Ana and I were both presenting our classroom experiences in Forum B: English 2.0: A Blended Seminar for Secondary School Students at Escuela Superior de Comercio, UNR and Why and how you can use facebook at school. What we have done at EES N° 572 (Rosario, Argentina).
So, why taking the trouble to go all the way to another province to tell others what we are doing in our classrooms? When you prepare a presentation you have to go over the process you've been through, you have to conceptualize each step, to organize your experience to be shared in public. Then, you go through the jitters and last-minute uncertainties. Is my presentation clear enough? Have I covered the main points? Will my experience be relevant to other teachers? Will technology work?
Most importantly, by telling our experience to others we are taking responsibility for what we are doing and opening it up for reflection and discussion in wider professional circles. As Stephen Pinker, points out on the difference between individual and mutual knowledge , "explicit language is a great way of creating mutual knowledge" and he adds "by putting it "out there" we are changing the state of knowledge."
I feel this is what happened with Ana's presentation. She talked about her experience using Facebook with her students in a state-run school in the suburbs of Rosario as a way of building a closer relationship with them. "You can't teach them if they don't like you" she told me, as Oxford's entire renewed theoretical framework came to life in her words. The human component. Facebook was then an integral part of Ana's strategy to reach and build rapport with her students in that particular context. The great thing is that her presentation seemed to have a big impact on the audience, as other teachers said it encouraged them to try out a similar strategy with their students. The topic was mentioned in an article published on the UNVM website: Proponen enseñar inglés con Facebook en el aula and has also called the attention of a local newspaper. We cannot tell how far its influence will get, but I'm sure none of this would have happened if Ana had not decided to open up and share her experience.
Although teaching and learning are eminently social practices, we have to admit that all too often we are isolated in our classrooms. Institutional communication is not always as fluent as it should be and a number of personal and professional variables affect these types of exchanges. I firmly believe that fostering these types of forums both within and across institutions, on and offline, empowers teachers to develop a sense of ownership and responsibility towards their own practice. It is by listening to each other that we can build some kind of "contextual awareness", learn about the specific challenges in Argentinian EFL classrooms and come up with both effective and relevant strategies to overcome them and refresh our practice.

Named the Greatest Guitarist of All Time by Rolling Stone, Jimi Hendrix's unparalleled technical know-how and experimental sensibility made him a star until his premature death at age 27 and a legend afterward.
"People, Hell & Angels," an album of previously unreleased Hendrix songs recorded between 1968 and 1969, is due out March 5th (track list below). Rolling Stone said the album's first single, "Somewhere," "suggests his most complex work may have only been ahead of him."
According to Zap2It, CBS will air several of album's songs during an episode of "Hawaii Five-0" on January 20.
Janie L. Hendrix, the president of Experience Hendrix LLC, issued this statement:
We're thrilled to be able to release People, Hell & Angels, during the celebration of the 70th anniversary of my brother's birth. The brilliance of the album serves to underscore what we've known all along: that there has never been and never will be a musical force equal to his and that we cherish and take inspiration of what he left us both now and for many generations to come...simply eternity."
The tracks:
1. "Earth Blues" 2. "Somewhere" 3. "Hear My Train a Comin'" 4. "Bleeding Heart" 5. "Let Me Move You" 6. "Izabella" 7. "Easy Blues" 8. "Crash Landing" 9. "Inside Out" 10. "Hey Gypsy Boy" 11. "Mojo Man" 12. "Villanova Junction Blues"

Perhaps some of us have got used to the idea of the badger cull ? Just politics, and perhaps something that's necessary to solve a farming problem ?
But the truth is this is the worst atrocity against British wildlife in history. It's persecution on an almost unimaginable scale. 33,000 animals killed ? Imagine driving down a road for 18 miles. The bodies of these creatures laid end to end would stretch all the way along - 18 miles of the dead, completely innocent families of our native badgers. In terms of animal cruelty, the Badger Cull is the national disgrace of our times. The fact that it has achieved NOTHING towards lessening the incidence of TB in cattle, and NOTHING to alleviate the suffering of cattle farmers, makes this a tragic and unforgivable abuse.
Nobody can cite any of the reports to date to support the claim that the badger cull is working to combat bovine TB in cattle. Even the controversial Bunton et al paper, which has been falsely used to justify the cull, says "it would be unwise to draw conclusions" from the existing data, and the recent Godfray Report to Michael Gove says "it is wrong, we believe, to over-emphasise the role of wildlife" in the spread of Bovine TB.
New work has established that the routes of re-infection reside in the herd, in undetected shedding cows. The project we (Save-Me) have now undertaken in The Gower Peninsula in cooperation with the Welsh farmers and the Welsh Government, is modelled on Dick Sibley's successful strategy at Gatcombe. It will verify once and for all that Bovine TB can be eliminated from cattle herds without killing a single wild animal.
The evidence is already overwhelming; this policy is now demonstrably unjustifiable and unacceptable.
For sound economic, scientific and moral reasons, we call on Michael Gove to end this disgrace now.
Brian May.

Quinoa Salad
I am trying new ways to use quinoa in my everyday life. It is such a great replacement for rice in meals like stir fry and beans, give it a try. I will tell you to make sure and rinse your quinoa very well before cooking. If you don't it will have a bitter taste. Everyone really liked this salad but my husband thought the dressing was a little too sweet. It is like a sweet oil and vinegar dressing, if you don't like sweet you can leave the honey out. Everyone else loved it so there you go. I am still trying to get used to using quinoa, I just can't get out of my rice dependency, hee hee I am trying though. This is What's Cookin on this very windy Winter's day on Beaty's Creek.
1 cup quinoa-rinsed and drained
1 t sea salt
1 garlic clove-minced
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup cherry tomatoes-cut in half
1 cup cabbage-finely shredded and chopped
1 cucumber-peeled and diced
Pepper to taste
1/2 cup Canola oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 T local honey
2 T Dijon mustard
1 t cayenne pepper
To make Salad: Bring quinoa, salt, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Set aside, covered, 10 minutes.
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in separate saucepan. Add corn and cook 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water, then drain again. Stir together corn, tomatoes, cabbage, cucumber, and quinoa in bowl.
Dressing: Mix all ingredients in a jar and shake until smooth. Stir into Salad.

text: Show Hide image Culture 25 April 2013 Reviewed: She Left Me the Gun - My Mother's Life Before Me by Emma Brockes Tangled roots. Sign-up She Left Me the Gun: My Mother's Life Before Me Emma BrockesFaber & Faber, 304pp, £16.99 Emma Brockes describes She Left Me the Gun as an "anti-misery memoir". The early life of her mother, Paula, in South Africa was unquestionably grim and Brockes has set herself the laudable challenge of telling that story "in a way that was in keeping with my mother's delight at the world". Paula's father, Jimmy, was a convicted murderer, a violent alcoholic and an incestuous paedophile. When Paula was in her mid-twenties, she had him arrested for domestic abuse. The case was brought to trial at the Johannesburg high court in 1958. Despite testimony from several of his eight children and medical evidence that the 12-year-old had been raped, Jimmy was found not guilty. The presiding judge was Justice Quartus de Wet – the man who would later sentence Nelson Mandela to life imprisonment on Robben Island. What makes Paula's story even more remarkable is that Brockes knew nothing about it until just before her mother's death from cancer, in 2003. She Left Me the Gun is a triumph for three reasons. The first is the voice. Brockes is often very funny. Recalling how it pleased her mother "to be at a slight angle to the culture" in England, she observes that this is "the standard expat consolation: in my case – a British person in New York – looking around and thinking, 'You people have no idea about the true nature of reality when you don't know what an Eccles cake is or how to get to Watford.'" Crucially, she achieves her ambition of writing about the most painful of subjects without resorting to the tropes of misery memoir or therapy. Then there is the material itself – not just the story of Paula's childhood but that of the lives of her extraordinary siblings. When Brockes visits her alcoholic, born-again uncle Tony, he suggests that they chat over drinks at a casino. On the way in, he issues a warning: "If I ever catch you in here, I'll beat you up." He then proceeds to display an exceptional memory of the details of his impoverished childhood. Brockes notes everything down, a deep-sea archaeologist retrieving her murky treasures. "Every now and then a plague of fleas would sweep through the house, and the cat would be blamed," remembers Tony. "One day, the old man grabbed our cat and dropped it down the long drop [the toilet]. Mom sent John and me to get it out. We took the axe and cut down a tree with a long branch. We lowered the branch down and the cat shot up it, scattering shit, and it never came back." Finally, there is Brockes's fearlessness and her resistance to glib interpretation of facts that are often tantalisingly opaque. She is unafraid to report one abused sister suggesting that another, unmolested sister was jealous not to be "chosen". Paula's stepmother appears to have been the reason the case fell through: at the last minute, she changed her story. For Paula, this was a terrible betrayal. The stepmother (with whom Paula corresponded for the rest of her life, addressing her as "Mum") sent Paula a letter shortly after she emigrated. Amazingly, it was written on the back of a photograph – a photograph of Paula with Jimmy, the man who had raped her regularly throughout her childhood and adolescence. Brockes reports all of this without trying to explain it. She understands that she can't; that however much research you do, some things will always remain unknowable. It is the intelligence and the honesty of this restraint that make the book so powerful. Subscribe For more great writing from our award-winning journalists subscribe for just £1 per month!

At the UCSF Homeless Clinic, students work with preceptors to provide medical care for some of the men and women who need it most in San Francisco.

By Jeffrey Chen
The first time I go to the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco, I leave my white coat at home.
The Society provides shelter for over 400 transient men and women each night. It's also the location of the UCSF Homeless Clinic, which is where I'm headed tonight, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Many of the men and women who come to the clinic have had negative experiences with healthcare providers in the past. A white coat may be the last thing they want to see.
People come to this shelter in the South of Market neighborhood to find reprieve from the vicious cycles of homelessness, violence, and substance abuse that they encounter on the streets. Here, they are able to get help, whether it's to find permanent housing, employment, education, or simply a warm bed to stay for the night and food to sustain them through the day.
And since 1992, on every Tuesday and Thursday night, these men and women have been able to get free medical care right at the shelter.
Since its founding 22 years ago, the UCSF Homeless Clinic has drawn medical students and local community physicians to volunteer their time caring for the patients most in need in San Francisco. Since then, the clinic has expanded to include nursing, pharmacy, premedical, and even law students.
The clinic draws student volunteers from UCSF Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy, as well as premedical students from the University of San Francisco and law students from the UC Hastings College of the Law
Each group has their role: pharmacy students, for example, will help patients go over their medication lists and help them figure out how to stick to their regimens, while premedical students will help coordinate referrals to San Francisco General Hospital, the Tom Waddell Clinic, or other local health centers that focus on care for indigent populations.
Because some patients have needs that are hard for the biweekly general clinic to address, students now also hold a dermatology clinic one Tuesday a month and a women's clinic 1-2 Sundays a month.
As we walk in the doors of the shelter, our stethoscopes set off the metal detectors, loudly declaring our arrival. Before we cross the room to set up shop, a few residents approach us, asking if they can be seen. One man needs help with his diarrhea, which has been keeping him up at night; another with his swollen, painful toe.
Matt Bald, a second-year student and veteran volunteer assures them that we'll be back to check on them as soon as we're set up. I will be shadowing Matt throughout this night.
Another student, Ethan Hua, serves as tonight's clinic coordinator. Coordinators manage the overall flow of the clinic, making sure there are enough supplies and equipment and that everything runs smoothly. They are also trained to check blood sugars with a glucometer, administer PPD (tuberculosis) tests, and draw blood for a new STI testing initiative. They can also administer naloxone (Narcan) if someone shows up having overdosed on an opioid, and they know how to screen for sensitive mental health issues.
Ethan has a steady stream of patients waiting to have their PPD tests placed or read. This is a particularly important public health role of the clinic, as tuberculosis can spread rampantly through vulnerable populations such as the homeless. Anybody testing positive on this simple skin reaction test is referred to SFGH, where they can get a chest x-ray and treatment.
Clinic coordinators test for blood glucose and tuberculosis in up to 10 patients each week
Our medical preceptor for the night is Dan Ciccarone, MD, MPH, a professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at UCSF.
"The role of the preceptors at Homeless Clinic is really to just stand back and let the students do the work," explains Dr. Dan — as students popularly know him — before the clinic starts. "Do your history and physical, and call us when you're done. Don't rush. Take this opportunity to really listen and learn more about the stories of your patients and how they got to where they are today."
Soon after we break, Matt and I go to talk to the shelter residents who'd approached us when we first came in. Moe*, the man complaining about diarrhea, is lying on his side in bed #83, clutching a bottle of red Gatorade.
"Moe, how are you feeling? We can come see you right now in the back," Matt offers.
"Oh, thank goodness," replies Moe weakly. He follows us into the room where we hold our clinic. We draw our curtain shut, sit down, and listen to his story.
Moe has been experiencing diarrhea for four days, and it's been disrupting his sleep. In fact, many of the other men in the shelter have been running to the toilet in the middle of the night too, and he suspects there is some bug going around. Over the past day or so, he says, he's felt especially weak and dehydrated, hence the Gatorade. "I'm miserable, guys. My stomach hurts all day long, and I can't get any sleep at night when I gotta keep running to the bathroom."
Matt performs the rest of his history and physical. We learn about Moe's life -- how he used to be a caregiver in a nursing home, until a family drama sidetracked him. From there, life went on a downhill spiral until he ended up homeless. He'd seen a few terrible things while he was a caregiver, which led him to distrust the medical system as a whole. "But you guys seem alright," he tells us.
Matt finishes his history and physical, and I bring in our preceptor, Dr. Dan, who immediately connects with Moe with a smile and a joke. Matt presents our patient, going through the pertinent positives and negatives from his exam. After a bit of discussion, we conclude that Moe must have contracted norovirus, the most contagious and most common cause of acute gastroenteritis, or "stomach flu," in adults in the US. We give him a pack of Imodium and lots of advice to stay hydrated.
"Thanks a lot guys," says Moe, a smile on his face. "I really appreciate it."
Now it's my turn. I go find the man who'd been complaining about his newly sore and swollen toe. Obrad* looks to be in a lot of pain when he walks, yet he refuses to take the elevator and insists on limping down the stairs. Once again, we go to the back corner of the clinic room and draw the curtains shut, before I start the history and physical.
Obrad had been walking down Market Street the previous day when his right toe began to hurt out of nowhere. Now it's swollen, warm, and red; he can barely walk or even stand the impact of water hitting his toe in the shower.
I ask about his background, and he tells me he moved to San Francisco only a few days ago, after thirteen years in Atlantic City, where he'd worked as a bouncer at a casino. He had immigrated from Serbia to find a better life with better opportunities. But now he couldn't even walk around outside to find a job because of the sudden, debilitating pain in his toe.
Matt calls in Dr. Dan, and I present the case to him. "So what do you think Obrad has, Jeff?" he asks. My mind races. "Arthritis? A joint infection? There's no evidence of any trauma or bug bites or any broken skin. I have no idea," I admit, brandishing my first-year "I don't know!" card.
"This is the classic presentation of gout, Jeff." Dr. Dan explains to Obrad what gout is and how we plan to treat it. I, the first-year medical student, listen just as intently as our patient. We wrap an ice pack around his toe and give him some ibuprofen.
"Thank you so much," says Obrad, shaking our hands with a strong grip.
At the end of the night, we sit down to write our notes and get feedback from Dr. Dan. We check off our primary diagnoses—norovirus, gout—on the billing form (to be processed by Healthy San Francisco) as well as our secondary diagnosis: lack of housing. Once everyone finishes, Ethan gathers all the volunteers around in a circle to debrief—a Homeless Clinic tradition. What is one thing we've learned tonight?
Just one thing? I've learned so much in the last few hours, it seems impossible to choose.
I'd written a 110-page senior thesis about noroviruses in undergrad, but now I've actually seen first-hand how noroviruses could cause real misery in one man named Moe and some of his fellow residents at the shelter. I'd heard of gout only once before, yet here, a day after my foot anatomy lab, I had helped Obrad figure out what was causing his pain. Now he would be able to walk out of the building and find a job.
Most importantly, I'd taken leaps and strides in my journey learning to care for patients by listening to their stories, understanding where they came from and being there for them in times of need. Never had my life intersected with homeless men in a way that I could talk to them extensively. Learning Moe and Obrad's stories helped me understand my own perceptions and biases.
"We didn't take on the societal inequities that necessitate places like St. Vincent de Paul," continues Matt. "But I like to think that in those moments where we were able to meet a need, and do so in a kind and empathetic way, we leave people feeling that our clinic is a place where the students and educators care. It seems small, I guess it is small, but it's something."
On our way out of the clinic, Dr. Dan puts on his public health hat. "Who wants to inform the staff about this local epidemic?"
The next time I go back to the shelter, both of my patients are no longer there. As a result, I'm not able to follow up. But, I'd like to hope that Moe recovered fine and that we'd helped curb the norovirus outbreak at the shelter. I'd like to imagine that Obrad's toe isn't flaring up too often and that he's been able to walk around the city and find a job.
For all the others who need our help, my fellow students and I, along with our UCSF preceptors, will continue to sling our stethoscopes over our shoulders and head to St. Vincent de Paul.

Stampede Blank Stars 3-0, Push Win Streak To Four Games
LINCOLN, NE -- The Sioux Falls Stampede got goals from Zeb Knutson, C.J. Franklin and Chad Duchesne while David Jacobson earned his second shutout in three games stopping all 35 shots in goal in a 3-0 victory over the Lincoln Stars Wednesday at the Ice Box.
Jacobson shutdown the Stars offense all night to help push the Herd's win streak to four games. The win improved the Herd's record to 14-5-2 on the year and kept them just two points behind Omaha for first place in the West.
The Stampede survived some flurries in front of the net in the first period against the Stars and were outshot 13-8, but remained tied 0-0 heading into the second period. Jacobson was solid from the opening faceoff and made several pointblank saves to keep the Stars off the board.
In the second, the Stampede broke through on the powerplay and took advantage of a 5-on-3 on a beautiful goal from Knutson. Dennis Kravchenko took the puck from the left point and slid the puck into the right circle to Bo Pellah who quickly sent the puck back over to the left circle where Knutson one-timed it past Lincoln netminder Michael Bitzer to give the Stampede a 1-0 advantage. It would stay that way throughout the period though the Stars nearly scored in the final minute as they again put pressure on Jacobson, but were shutdown and the Herd took a 1-0 lead into the third period. Shots were even 10-10 in shots.
In the third, the Stampede found themselves on the power play once again and once again they would take advantage. Kravchenko sent a pass through the slot to Franklin who tapped the puck through the pads of Bitzer to give the Stampede a 2-0 edge. The Herd put the game away for good at 9:39 on a goal from Duchesne. Dakota Joshua and Keith Burchett set up Duchesne in the high slot who blasted a shot through traffic and into the upper right hand corner of the net, just underneath the crossbar to make it 3-0 Sioux Falls. The Herd controlled play for the final 10 minutes to skate out of Lincoln with a 3-0 victory.
The Stampede finished the night 2-for-4 on the powerplay and were once again perfect on the penalty kill at 5-for-5. Sioux Falls has now killed off 27 consecutive penalties over the last five games.Lincoln outshot the Stampede 35-25 on the night.
Sioux Falls will have light practice on Thursday for Thanksgiving and return to action this Friday and Saturday at home when they host Dubuque and the U.S. Under-17 Development Program at 7:05 PM.

Galveston Idea House Building Products
Build to last with quality products from our Idea House sponsors.
Shutters: While J&L Shutters' Permex hurricane shutters contribute to the home's classic look, they also offer protection from high winds and debris impact. Made with CPVC and steel reinforcement, these operable shutters resist moisture, rendering maintenance unnecessary.
Lumber: To ensure the home's framing could withstand the harsh coastal climate, the team worked with BluWood, a specially treated lumber that's mold-, fungus-, and insect-repellent. Builder Chad Murphy explains that construction methods at Beachtown are held to a higher standard than local and national building codes.
Roofing: The team selected a Galvalume roof from the Metal Roofing Alliance because it resists rust, a natural threat in the corrosive coastal environment. "It also holds up well under strong winds, because it's usually one piece of metal from the ridge to the fascia," says builder Juan Barney.
Siding: James Hardie's Artisan line of fiber-cement siding looks like that found on Galveston's historic homes, without requiring the upkeep. "It's architecturally correct, and has the look and feel of real wood," says builder John Weldon.
Locks: The latest in home security, the Schlage LINK system lets you control entry to your home remotely via any computer or Web-enabled mobile phone. The touch-pad lock also allows for keyless entry―you just punch in the code. That way, you never have to worry about losing your keys.
Pavers: The team wanted to give the home's outdoor spaces the same historic feel as the house, so they selected Belgard's Dublin Cobble pavers for the ground-floor entertaining area. Designed to look as though they've been in place for decades, the pavers blend perfectly with the style of Galveston and Beachtown.
Outdoor Lighting: The team chose lanterns from Bevolo and flush-mounted them to survive high winds. The hand-riveted lights are made of copper, which won't corrode in humid air.

The development of wireless technologies, mesh networks, ubiquitous computing, and ad hoc networking enables new applications to enhance the user experience, provide more flexibility, and give the user more choice. Network technologies, recently deployed, have increased user connectivity options, allowing users to connect from virtually anywhere. These changes create challenges for network security. Traditional centralized authority-based mechanisms do not work, or work at less than optimum, for emerging networking patterns. Novel network topologies, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) networking, void many of the assumptions made by established approaches to security, and these new topologies, therefore, require us to rethink the entire security architecture.
One example of this kind of network is mobile, ad hoc networks (MANETs) that provide wireless network services without relying on any centralized infrastructure. MANETs treat each node in the network equally, and each node acts as both a client and a server node. The network topology is emergent, based on collaborative routing. Because of the emergent connectivity, a single centralized authentication server may not be reachable at all times.
Another example is P2P networks, widely used to share data and resources. As of 2006, over 80 percent of all Internet traffic consisted of P2P network traffic, and this percentage appears to be steadily growing. The network structure of a P2P network is also self-organizing, is typically unmanaged and unplanned, is unsupported by any dedicated support staff or servers, and is utilized by potentially very large numbers of users. The operation of these networks is distributed and autonomous. Interjecting a traditional centralized authentication scheme, therefore, into these sorts of networks would impose a centralized control structure and require permanent on-line servers and support staff to manage them, thereby undermining the emergent, unmanaged character that makes these networks so attractive to their users. Instead, what is needed is a trust management system that matches the emergent nature of these networks, and one that is based on collaborative individual decisions.
In this article, we examine centralized authentication systems and analyze the reasons why these systems fall short for new classes of networks. We argue that a centralized authority that creates and manages all of the identities for a domain is too inflexible to support self-organizing networks, where relationships are emerging through individual interactions. We call for a new approach wherein identities are created to signify the relationships, and entities collaboratively manage and evolve trust, based on these relationships.
We propose a decentralized trust management framework that manages identities to support authentication in self-organizing networks. This framework contains several key functions: evidence collection and distribution, identity generation and auditing, and trust calculation. Within this framework, every node collects trust evidence locally and shares information with peers. Trust decisions are made locally, based on collected information. The global consensus of trusting identities is reached by peer interactions and trust calculation. We emphasize the need to bootstrap trust relationships in order to build practical trust-management systems. For managing and propagating trust, we propose a novel trust model to calculate trust, based on both first-hand observations and on second-hand opinions from peers. This trust calculus model has two unique features: (1) support for both positive and negative trust values; and (2) whenever possible, pre-existing relationships, such as those between devices and their users from other contexts and communities, are transformed into new relationships between devices in new communities.
We further analyze some threats, such as identity attacks, to the decentralized trust model, and we propose using device profiling to build consensus on binding a device identifier with its profiling attributes. We further discuss candidate attributes that can be used to thwart certain identity attacks.
Decentralized Trust-Management Problems
Traditional Trust Models and Problems
The current practice of managing trust and authentication is designed to efficiently address the needs of enterprise access control. A centralized server is deployed to perform all authentication procedures, such as X.509v3 [1] certification authority, revocation servers, on-line certificate status protocol (OCSP) servers, or RADIUS servers [2]. Having a single central server simplifies credential management and makes it easier for the organization to enforce its access-control policies. However, it has become evident that the dominant centralized security models fail to meet the following challenges presented by the P2P communication patterns in self-organizing networks:
A centralized authority has to be available all the time. Given the dynamic nature of new networking forms, it is impossible to guarantee that this centralized authority can be reached from everywhere in the network.
A single point of control makes it harder for users to communicate with the domain. The centralized authority generates and manages all the identities and credentials for the domain. This design forces users to contact the centralized authority for every enrollment and authentication activity. In self-organizing networks, communications may happen only in a local context, where contacting the centralized authority is impossible or, at best, very inconvenient.
Centralized trust models demand long-lived trust evidence. IT administrators often hold the view that computing devices belong to a single administrative domain, so that credentialing happens only once during the lifetime of a device, at most. The resulting identity credentials have to fit all usage cases. This increases the cost of gathering and maintaining evidence, increases the possible damage if credentials become compromised, and makes it difficult to re-evaluate trust evidence. In self-organizing networks, an entity's relationship with a particular domain may be dynamic and transient. Such relationships require frequent and on-line trust evidence re-evaluation.
A centralized authority imposes a single trust metric for the entire domain. This means that a name is bound to a key. However, in self-organizing networks, the trust evidence is not uniform. Evidence may be in the form of keys, names, hardware attributes, and even social relationships. Hence, evidence evaluation cannot be uniform either.
Traditional centralized security models require the domain to be established at a central place by some authority. In unmanaged networks, however, the trust relationships are formed at the grassroots level and from P2P interactions. A corresponding trust model needs to be built to match this pattern.
The centralized model enforces a uniform relationship between the individual named entities and the organization running the central server, not between different devices within the organization. This is at variance with the needs of devices in new usage models such as P2P networks, where each device needs some means to directly manage its relationships with other devices in the community.
Prior research on security models has proposed decentralized trust models that remove the dependency on the centralized authority and servers [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9]. However, most of the existing literature only focuses on the trust calculation models, which evolve and propagate trust on entities, based on a transitive property of trust. Decentralized trust calculations only address part of the problem. A complete and practical decentralized trust management system demands solutions to the following three additional problems: (1) trust evidence gathering; (2) trust evidence evaluation for initial trust computation; and (3) the creation of trusted communities.

Well, that went rather well, wouldn't you say?
To think of all the passionate, gullible folks out there as late as Wednesday night, busily wondering about possible camp startup dates and number of games possible and hinting confidently with a knowing wink that they'd heard coaches had already been in touch with players — strictly on the QT, of course — telling them to be ready to hit the ice running.
And yet here we are.
Standing, dazed, in the middle of a patch of scorched ice.
Hockey, once more, finds itself caught in the crosshairs.
Of galloping greed. Of individual agenda taking precedence collective good.
NHLPA Svengali Donald Fehr went first in Thursday's little melodrama, assuming his best Little Lord Fauntleroy stance while extolling the players' chastity, pliability — and they had backed up a lot — before disingenuously claiming that after two days of what had seemed to be positive discourse everything was now in place for a deal to be struck (His immediate re-appearance at the Marriot Times Square 10 minutes later to feign shock and stunned indignation at the league's prompt cellphone dismissal of the terms was a nice, if thinly-transparent, touch).
Funny how, when Fehr was re-introduced to the negotiations Thursday, whatever goodness that had been built up over the preceding 48 hours melted like Margaret Hamilton being doused with a bucket of water. Even the moderate owners brought in to try to broker good faith got their backs up and bridled.
His arch-nemesis, the Bilbo Baggins-like Gary Bettman, arrived in short order, in a far more feisty mood, calling Fehr's earlier optimism "incomprehensible" and in a long-winded 45-minute tirade basically demanded Fehr's mouth be washed out with lye soap, claiming his side had relented on many key issues in order that three vital components to be considered sacrosanct.
Result? The league pulled its concessions off the table. More mudslinging. A larger chasm between the sides. The league accusing the PA of ever-shifting areas of concern. The PA accusing the league of intractability. Both claiming the other has no intention of cutting a deal.
Enough already.
No mas. No mas!
The owners are after a 10-year CBA deal (with either side opting out at eight), the players are demanding an eight-year deal (opting out at six). The owners want contracts at a five-year max, to protect themselves from self-flagellation, while the players won't hear of anything less than eight.
What's next? Well, the PA could consider decertification, which would disband the union leaving every player free to individually sue his contract's NHL owner. But that is messy in the extreme and would take months. As a negotiation ploy, far from foolproof.
More rounds of talks? Well, they're running perilously short of time to get in anything resembling a season and always wind further apart even as they seem to inch closer together.
Much of the scorn throughout this tawdry melodrama has been justly reserved for Bettman — and go on, loathe him to your heart's content — but it's time Fehr, the players' hired gun, comes in for a measure of scrutiny, too. His immense reputation was hired at not inconsiderable cost to get a deal done, to get them back playing. Off what we saw Thursday, he's failed miserably in that mandate. And if, as has been reported, he felt he could bluff a little longer to wedge out a little more, leading to the late collapse in negotiations, he misplayed his cards. Badly.
You hope to heavens he isn't arrogant enough to use his contentious, if successful, baseball model for hockey. That'd be like confusing London, Ont., with London, England. Still, that worry grows by the day.
The whole sordid mess was hours away when a large group of Calgary Flames gathered at Father David Bauer to get in a bit of game with the University of Calgary Dinos.
At that point in time, before the floorboards gave way, the cautious optimism of Tuesday-Wednesday had rubbed off.
"We've put our faith in the negotiating committee and the guys who are there," said Flames' player rep Matt Stajan. "Those guys have been doing it for us all week. They've done a great job. They know what they're doing.
"We're hoping to play hockey soon. That's for sure. In saying that, we want to make sure the deal's fair and we have people in New York who are going to do that for us.
"I think I've avoided being optimistic or pessimistic here. You can't guess or hope anymore. When a day gets done, it get done. We're all hopeful. We want to play."
Everybody pays lip-service to the contention of wanting to play. But their actions betray them.
"It's been pretty up and down," admitted captain Jarome Iginla. "You try not to get too high or too low, but it's hard to do. The whole time, all the way along, you're hoping that they find the deal. On both sides. I've been trying not too say too much about it because you get sick of reading it and you don't want to be part of it.
"But it sounds like they've been working away at it, and that's great.
"I've been hoping for three months we'd get back."
Iginla's reaction to the farcical events of later in the evening went mercifully unrecorded. But that wait he sounded so frustrated about looks about to be extended.
Used to be, hockey was about idols and moments caught and held in the imagination; about allegiance and shared experience. Now, it's about lawyers and dollar signs and the blame-game.
Used to be the bar is a place you went afterwards to discuss a game. Now it's where the guys who wield the power, who compromise our dreams, ply their trade.
Thursday's astonishing plot-twists in midtown Manhattan make you at long last wonder if there will, indeed, be any sort of hockey season in 2012-2013.
Or even if one would be worth it, under the circumstances.
We're almost beyond caring. Which, given how much, how passionately, we care about this game, says it all.

Applicative-derived version of zipWith was unsuitable. Here's that implementation:
For "zippy" applicatives, in addition to the usual
zipWith :: (a -> b -> c) -> f a -> f b -> f c
zipWith f x y = f <$> x <*> y
Applicative laws,
zipWith should satisfy:
Aside: it is well known that we could define
zipWith f xs xs == fmap (\x -> f x x) xs
<*> in terms of
(<*>) = zipWith ($)
zipWith has no good way of handling containers with different shapes. Since the lifted function always receives both an
a and a
b, the shape of the resulting
f c must be the intersection of the two shapes being zipped --
zipWith has no way to notify the zipping function,
f, that it has encountered a position where only the first container or only the second container has a value.
Here are some examples of how this plays out:
zipWithfor two lists results in a list whose length is the smaller of the two
zipWithfor two maps results in a map whose key set is the intersection of the two input key sets
zipWithfor two binary trees will contain only the nodes with a path from the root that exists in both input trees
Traversable, so for instance using
traverse to transpose a
[[a]] will truncate the output lists:
The second column, the one that should be
Prelude> getZipList $ sequenceA [ZipList [1], ZipList [1,2]]
[2], is removed because not all lists being transposed have a second element. We get similar behavior with other zippy applicatives.
If we choose to take the union of the two shapes being zipped rather than their intersection, we obtain the
Alignable typeclass:
This should satisfy:
class Functor f => Alignable f where
empty :: f a
align :: (OneOrBoth a b -> c) -> f a -> f b -> f c
data OneOrBoth a b = Both a b | OneL a | OneR b
align f a empty == fmap (f . OneL) a
align f empty a == fmap (f . OneR) a
align f a a == fmap (\x -> f $ Both x x) a
Applicative has
Alignable has
empty, and where
Applicative has
Alignable has
align. Like
Applicative, we could use these to implement
If you have an
Alignable for some
f, you can lift Iteratee,
Reducer and various other
Reducer-like objects to
f. Monoids and groups can also be lifted to
Alignable. And the version of
traverse based on
Alignable is more appropriate for some applications.
One of the problems with
Alignable is it doesn't provide a way to lift algebraic structures with more than one distinguished element. If the structure has just one distinguished element (like a monoid or group), then
empty can represent the lifted version of that element - we just need to have the function we pass to
align fill in this element when it receives a
OneL or a
OneR. If there's multiple distinguished elements (like in a ring) then this doesn't work and we need something like
pure :: a -> f a. But this can't be the infinite constant container of

OTTAWA – Federal Fisheries Minister Gail Shea is defending a government decision to wind down a major scientific facility studying water pollution, explaining her department can now meet its research needs by focusing on its other Canadian facilities.
In response to questions raised by NDP fisheries critic Robert Chisholm, Shea also explained why the Department of Fisheries and Oceans pledged new grants to scientists at the facility – known as the Experimental Lakes Area – right before the government decided to withdraw from the decades-old site through cuts in its 2012 budget.
"While budget 2012 was in development, the department was undergoing its normally established planning process for scientific research, including requesting research proposals from departmental scientists," wrote Shea, in a document tabled in Parliament this week.
"The department is now focusing on work being conducted at other freshwater research facilities across the country, which will more than adequately meet the departmental research needs."
Shea is temporarily handling the fisheries portfolio for Keith Ashfield, who took a leave of absence after suffering a heart attack in October.
She added that managers were working with researchers at the facility, estimated to have operating costs of about $2 million per year, on transition plans that could include transferring ownership and control of the facility to a third party.
"While the department is winding down operations at the Experimental Lakes Area, it is continuing to conduct freshwater research in various other locations across Canada," Shea wrote in the statement. "The department hopes to transfer the Experimental Lakes Area so that the research can continue to be conducted by another party that will benefit from it."
Chisholm said the answers suggest the government didn't adequately analyze its options before deciding to wind down the facility.
"It's pretty sloppy, frankly," Chisholm said in an interview. "It does show a real lack of overall connection and understanding of exactly what's happening."
Environment Minister Peter Kent praised the research facility last May, explaining that it allowed scientists to examine the impacts of human activity and "greatly aided development of the acid rain treaty (with the United States) 21 years ago." But he said the government was now trying to move its science westward to expand its understanding of impacts of the oilsands industry.
More than a dozen Canadian scientists sent Kent a letter on Nov. 9, asking Environment Canada to take over ownership of the facility, to ensure that its research remains independent and in the public interest.
The government has declined to comment on specifics of its negotiations to transfer the facility and the parties involved.

When I began to first research my great-grandparents, Andrew Przybylski and Frances Rochowiak, things just didn't seem to stack up right. There are a number of Przybylskis in the Toledo area, and it seemed several of them married into the Plenzler family. However, I could not put my finger on all of the children Andrew and Frances had. Originally, I had located these offspring. Then while searching through baptismal records, I had located Marianna Przybylski. Correspondence between myself and John Plenzler indicated that Andrew and Frances had two other sons: John and Joseph.
However, John and Joseph remained rather elusive. Joseph though was hiding right beneath my nose and I didn't realize it until reading my grandfather's (John Plenzler) baptismal record. Sometimes a little insomnia is all it takes–not being able to sleep, I was reviewing data on my mother's family. And voila. There Joseph appeared, bright as daylight. He was baptized the same day, by the same priest as my grandfather John Plenzler was baptized.
Joseph was born February 18, 1885 and baptized February 22. See record #20 here. The record is transcribed below:
Record #20
Nomen Infantis: Joseph
Parentes: Andreas Przybyla, Francisca Rochowiak
Patrini: Majher Nowicki, Michaelina Osinska
Nati: 18 Februarii
Bapt: 22 Februarii
Nomran Sacrdotis: Rev. M. F. Orzechowski
Note that the family's last name here is listed as Przybyla, not Przybylski.
Joseph married a woman named Rose and they resided at 507 Pulaski Street per the 1920 census. The 1930 census places the Joseph Przybylski family at 1625 Belmont Avenue.
Per the 1930 census, Joseph and Rose had four children:
- Virginia
- Richard
- Alvine (Alvina?)
- Dorothy
Joseph passed away on July 8, 1937. He was 51 per his Ohio Death certificate. His obituary was published in the Toledo News-Bee on July 9 and is transcribed below:
Joseph Przybylski
Joseph Przybylski died Thursday in his home at 1517 Pinewood Ave.
He leaves his wife, Rose; three daughters, Mrs. Virginia Napierala and Misses Eleanor and Dorothy, a son, Richard; four sisters, Mrs. Mary Erdman, Mrs. Dorothy Sieja, Mrs. Netti Plenzler, and Mrs. Eva Hejnicki; a brother, Frank, all of Toledo, and another brother, John, Detroit.
Services will be held at 8:30 a.m. Monday in the residence at and 9 a.m. in St. Stanislaus Church. Burial will be in Calvary.
This obituary proves the existence of another sibling named John. The existence of yet another sibling, named Dorothy will need to be investigated. His daughter, Dorothy, could not have been married at his death. She was only two years old at the time of the 1930 census. However, Joseph did have a sibling named Victoria who had married Frank Sieja. So it is possible the name is simply misprinted in the obituary.
Joseph was buried from St. Stanislaus parish in Calvary Cemetery on July 12, 1937. The church death record is transcribed below:
Record of Interments
Date of Death and Burial: D. July 8th, B. July 12th
Name of Person Interred: Przybylski, Joseph
Place of Birth: Poland
Age: 51y
Disease: Heart
Priest: John A. Labuzenski (sp?)
Cemetery: Calvary
Note that the place of birth is incorrect as there is a record of his birth in Toledo, Ohio through St. Anthony's Parish that reflects both his date of birth and date of baptism.
Joseph's burial record from Calvary Cemetery is transcribed below:
No.: 38869
Name: Joseph Przybylski
Residence: 1517 Palmwood
Age: 51
Cause of Death: Unknown
Date of Interment: July 13
Grave: 100
Range or Lot: 10
Section: 40
Undertaker: F. Czglosz
Research to continue to locate John and verify the possibility of yet another Przybylski sibling named Dorothy.

8 Tips on How to Fit a Balanced Diet into Your Busy ScheduleBy Maura Tibbs
Welcome to a typical day at the office. Most of us know it well. You're not even at your desk yet, and your mind is already preoccupied with emails to answer, phone calls to return, and meetings to attend. Before you know it, lunchtime rolls around and you're running on nothing but caffeine. By this point, you're fighting hunger pangs, so you head to the vending machines as a temporary solution, or maybe you grab something unhealthy at a nearby fast-food place or roach coach. Five or six hours later, the hunger hits you again and the cycle repeats itself. Does this day sound familiar? If so, you're not alone.
These days, a mere 8-hour workday is becoming less and less common. A lot of us are working additional hours at home, on our laptops, and via our smartphones. With crazy hours like these, the best way to make sure you stay on track nutritionally is to prepare yourself a week's worth of healthy meals in advance. Here are a few tips for doing just that.
- Master the grocery store. When you arrive at the grocery store after work, you're starving and in a hurry to get home. Without thinking, you find yourself drawn into the bright, shiny, end-of-aisle displays like a moth to a flame. Before you know it, you're about to fill your cart with 10 frozen pizzas for $10.
Stop! Change direction. Go straight to the produce section and select enough lettuce and fresh vegetables to make a salad that'll last you all week. It's best to avoid the center aisles, which contain all the processed foods you want to avoid, and keep to the perimeter of the store. This path will lead you to healthy choices like veggies, fruit, low-fat dairy, lean meat, and poultry.
The items being promoted in the aforementioned end-of-aisle displays are rarely healthy food options. Keeping this in mind will help you walk past these traps and head straight for the good stuff.
- Cook out on Sunday. Roast a bunch of chicken, make a big stew, and grill some veggies; you'll have a great meal on Sunday and enjoy the leftovers for the next few days.
Another thing to do on Sunday to prep for the week is to wash and chop all that lettuce you bought while strolling the perimeter of the store and put it in a zip-top bag. With this combination, you'll have fresh, healthy food to put into meals all week.
- Make over your leftovers. Reinvent last night's chicken (or other protein) for the next day's lunch. Throw it in a tortilla with some salsa for a yummy burrito. Heat it up with some curry seasoning and chickpeas. Put it in a whole-wheat pita pocket or between two slices of whole-grain bread with crisp lettuce and your favorite seasonings for a healthy sandwich. Toss it into that great salad you prepared, along with some fresh or grilled veggies. The possibilities for different, great-tasting meals are easy—and limited only by your imagination.
- Prepack your snacks for work. You may not always have time for a full meal at work, and that's OK. The night before a busy day, measure out foods—nuts, dried fruit, baked chips, sliced veggies—you can graze on all day. Measuring the portions in advance helps assure that you won't accidentally snarf down an entire 1,000-calorie bag of trail mix.
Another great approach to snacking that'll help satisfy you until your lunch (or dinner) rolls around? Some of that protein you cooked up on Sunday, in convenient snack portions. Quick bites of chicken, beef, tempeh, or tofu with the seasonings of your choice make for a great snack option. And having fresh, lean protein rather than packaged, processed snack items will not only help curb cravings; it'll also give you sustained energy and help you fight hunger throughout the day.
- Hydrate in fashion. Instead of going through tons of plastic bottles at your desk, buy yourself a fancy water bottle. Busy people often forget to hydrate properly. In addition, the average American drinks 57 gallons of soft drinks each year! You can avoid the temptation to purchase soda by refilling a beautiful Klean Kanteen® with water throughout your day. On a budget? Wash out a glass water, juice, or milk bottle and make that your go-to reusable water bottle.
- Be smart about beverage calories. The average American consumes around 400 calories a day in liquid form! This includes soda, sport drinks, energy drinks, juice, and flavored ice teas. You can be smart by making sure any calories you drink are in the form of a meal replacement rather than a hydrator. (Water's still the best hydrator out there.) Shakeology® is a great meal-replacement shake for busy people, because it's convenient, jam-packed with important nutrients and antioxidants, and low in calories.
- Combine forces. The total price of ingredients is much higher when you're buying smaller items and amounts. Cooking for one can seem inefficient, especially when your produce is spoiling and you have to deal with the guilt that comes with throwing away a bag of spinach, or a bundle of brown bananas. Combining forces with a roommate, a coworker, or a friend who lives nearby can help cut costs. If your friend is also health conscious, you can gain support from and give advice to one another.
- Don't go fad-hopping. Will all the new diets, food crazes, and "miracle" supplements popping up, it's easy to feel confused or insecure about your current choices. If your plan is working, just stay the course. If you want to try something different, it's a free country, but don't hop on the latest trend just because your workmates are all talking about it at the water cooler. Do your homework. Read critiques. Talk to people who have tried it for longer than a weekend. Ask yourself, "Is it healthy? Does it involve whole, real foods? Is it realistic?" Finding and keeping a diet that supports your lifestyle will more likely result in long-term success.

Tips for Staying Cool: Avoiding Heat ExhaustionBy Steve Edwards
As summer nears, the lure of sunshine, warmth, and poolside idleness becomes tempting. This is especially true if you've just spent the spring working on looking good in your bathing suit. But keeping your physique toned through the summer months involves another challenge. As temperatures soar, heat exhaustion becomes more a likelihood than a possible concern. Let's take a look at how to stay cool so you can ramp up your workouts, whether P90X® or Power 90®, even as the mercury rises.
What is heat exhaustion?
Heat exhaustion is one phase of hyperthermia, a condition that occurs when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate. When hyperthermia reaches the advanced stage known as heat stroke, medical attention is absolutely necessary, because death becomes a very real possibility. Minor cases of heat exhaustion aren't life threatening and occur regularly, especially in warm weather, but should be taken seriously and treated, because heat exhaustion can quickly turn into heat stroke if it's allowed to progress.
The weather doesn't have to be hot for hyperthermia to occur. Heat can be created artificially by drugs or medical devices, or can occur naturally through exercise or improper fueling of the body. But as the weather gets warmer, your margin for error decreases, because your body temperature will increase without your doing anything active. This is especially true early in the year when you aren't used to warm weather. Those coming off a cold winter are particularly vulnerable.
By the numbers, it looks like this: Normal body temperature is around 97° to 99°F (36° to 37°C). Anything above 104°F (40°C) is considered life-threatening. At 106°F (41°C), brain death begins, and by 113°F (45°C), death is nearly certain. Since anytime you "feel hot," it usually means your body temperature is edging its way past normal range, it's not hard to see that you don't have a large buffer before your condition may become serious.
Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion
Sweating is your body's response to overheating. The process pulls heat from inside the body and pushes it out as perspiration, where it will evaporate on the skin and cool the body further. So sweating is the first sign of overheating and should indicate that you should adhere to proper hydration strategies in order to keep this process working.
When you're hot and you stop sweating, this means your body is in serious trouble and you should initiate aggressive measures (see "Daily strategies," below). Before you reach this point, it's likely that you'll experience other warning signs. The most basic is feeling hot. Feeling hot means that your sweating mechanism is being overworked or is not doing its job properly. The skin will then flush or become red. Headaches, an upset stomach, feeling faint, and/or an increased heart rate are all indicators that your condition is getting worse.
If your condition isn't treated, it'll decline further. Dizziness and/or nausea are likely to follow. Your skin may change from red to pale or bluish in color. Feeling hot will be replaced by feeling chilled. Convulsions are a possibility. In this state, the body begins to fail and the priority should be focused on reversing the situation.
Thousands of people die from hyperthermia each year. A study reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine followed the progress of patients admitted to intensive care units for heat stroke and found that nearly half the patients died within a year—28 percent died after their release from the hospital. This shows that the effects of heat stroke place long-term stress on the body. But it also shows that it's highly likely that those who experience hyperthermia probably do so by making daily mistakes on the prevention side. So let's look at how to avoid hyperthermia on a daily basis, and what to do when we slip up.
Daily strategies
Hydration is the key. A properly hydrated body will not be hyperthermic. But hydration can be tricky, especially as outside conditions change. Reacting to weather changes requires more than consuming your recommend 6 to 8 glasses of water per day. This is because water is only one side of the equation. Body salts called electrolytes are the other side. The primary electrolyte is one of the more misunderstood nutrients on the planet: salt.
Staying hydrated requires that you keep a balance of water and salt. As we heat up, our requirements for both of these things increase. The standard requirement of 6 to 8 glasses of water per day can change to per hour under extremely hot conditions when you're exercising. Salt can be even more confusing. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for sodium is 2,500 milligrams per day. But a person sitting inside in cool temperatures may only need 500 milligrams per day, whereas someone exercising in the heat may sweat out 2,000 milligrams in 1 hour! This means that the RDA is a random number based on an average. How much salt you need is directly related to your lifestyle and the weather. The more you sweat, the greater your need for salt.
Too much salt and not enough water is a deadly condition that most of us are aware of, but too much water and not enough salt will kill you even more quickly. Since most of us have plenty of salt in our daily diets (and millions of us have too much), we tend to focus mainly on water intake for staving off dehydration. But ensuring that you have a balance of water and electrolytes becomes vital as the temperature rises.
While it can be confusing, this dilemma isn't all that hard to sort out. There's a great margin for error when it comes to hydration, and it's not vital to get it perfect, unless you're competing in a sport. For most of us, just being aware that we're drinking extra water and getting some salt in our diets as demands on hydration increase is enough. Sweating is an easy way to tell that you're getting this right. If you're sweating in the heat, you're doing something right. Beginning to cramp is a sign that you're out of balance one way or another, and a simple solution is to add more of the one you've been consuming less of, either water or salt. For most of us, it'll be water, but if you exercise a lot or eat a low-sodium diet, it may be salt. This unscientific protocol is perfectly adequate to keep most of us functioning fine through the summer.
When it gets hot
We're pretty good at adjusting to heat over time. By far, we're at most risk when the weather initially changes. It takes around 5 to 7 days to adjust to living in elevated temperatures. During this period, your body undergoes a series of changes that makes continued exposure to hot conditions more endurable. If you handle the adjustment carefully, you're most likely set for the season, save for those times you choose to put yourself in an exposed situation.
Obviously, hydrating well during these periods is vital, but other methods of staying cool should also be considered. Covering exposed skin with light-colored, loose-fitting clothing is helpful, as is using sunblock liberally on all exposed areas. Nothing makes this transition more challenging than allowing your skin to get burned on your first day in the sun. Summer is also hat season. Your scalp is susceptible to burning, even if you have a lot of hair.
If you do get burned, keep your skin bathed in lotion and out of the sun. If you're forced outside for hours on end, especially doing something physical, consider dumping water over your head or on your neck every so often. Continually exposing your body to something cold will keep your body's core temperature low and prevent cardiac drift (a state wherein you heart beats faster to keep up with a climbing body temperature) from occurring.
Dealing with acute situations
Once you've become overheated, you want to reduce your body temperature as quickly as you can. This has been debated over the years. In fact, during the 19th century, public pumps had warning signs stating that drinking cold water during excessive heat could kill you. Modern and recent studies have shown the opposite. First, "it's quite difficult, if not impossible" to kill someone by cooling them quickly when they're overheated, and second, the quicker you can cool someone off, the faster they will recover.
Cold-water immersion is the most effective way to lower a high body temperature. Of course, it's not always practical or possible, but any step in this direction will help alleviate the situation. If nothing cold is accessible, use whatever is available. Warm water on the skin, or almost anything damp, will still create convection with the air and mimic sweat. Getting to the shade or covering all exposed skin helps too.
If the situation is dire, or prolonged exposure to heat has occurred, you should seek medical advice, even if the situation seems under control. Excessive exposure can cause trauma that's not always apparent, and some amount of medical support, like an IV drip of electrolyte solution, can keep the body from incurring any long-term damage.
Maurice Ndukwu of the University of Chicago Medical Center warns that heat stroke is often more serious than it's given credit for. In the Annals of Internal Medicine, he states, "Classic heat stroke is a deadly disorder, more complex, more often fatal, and more permanently disabling than the literature on this order would predict. This [study] drives home the crucial importance of prevention and rapid diagnosis and treatment."

Years ago when the annual Conference of the OGS was held, it was a two-day affair – Saturday and Sunday.
Over the past couple of years, it has expanded to include Friday, and now since 20011, a Thursday evening "Meet the Board" Reception. It is a "get togther" with the OGS Board who have arrived early to have their pre-conference board meeting on Thursday.
So come out on Thursday evening 7:00 to 9:00, and meet the people who keep our organization running. There will be refreshments and snacks. Its a sort of a warm-up top the Conference.
And on Workshop Friday, there will be 4 workshops to choose from, and then in the evening, there is the Houston Memorial Lecture. Each year, the Ontario Genealogical Society sponsors a prominent genealogist to speak at the Conference Opening Ceremonies and Reception.
This year's speaker will be Dave Obee, who will address the attendees on the topic of Seven Habits of Highly Successful Genealogists.
I have heard him on a number of occasions, and he has even written a paper for Families a few years ago, and he is worth listening to so that you can hear his latest thoughts on genealogy.
The two workshops I will be attending on Friday will be
An Introduction to Ontario Wills and Administrations & Beyond the Estate File by Jane MacNamara.
She is such a good lecturer, and the estate files are a rich source for finding family connections and social and financial circumstances. I hope to find out how to access these important court records.
In the afternoon, I will be going to The Scots-Irish: Origins, Emigration, Religion, and Research Sources by Dick Doherty, in which he will explore the Scots-Irish from Scottish origins to Ulster Plantation, Presbyterian religion, emigration from Ireland to North America, and 17th and 18th century settlement patterns in Canada.

By the way Jesse, thanks for Bell
I just gotta say that we screwed up the point system in regards to plus/minus. It shouldn't be weighted as heavily as a goal or an assist. It should be no more than a half a point, especially if PIMs are only weighted at .2. Had I been able to post on JD, I would have seen how the scoring was set up and spoke up sooner. I don't even lurk on there anymore so I really didn't see how Brent had set it up. If you can change it at this point, change it now. I'd hate to see a plus/minus cost someone the league.

I made all the elements of the cake the night before the party. The base layer of the cake is blue Jell-O. I made it according to their Jigglers recipe (mix packet with 2 1/2 Cups boiling hot water, place in pan - or in this case casserole baker - in fridge to set).
Separately, I made the Rice Krispie Squares and the Chocolate cake. The day of the party I put everything together. It came together quickly.
1. Slide a knife through the Jell-O to cut into squares - everything about Minecraft is block-y. The Jell-O is the water.
2. Cut the cake into same size squares - my cake cut into 16 good sized cake pieces.
3. Frost each square of the cake with green frosting as you place it out. I placed the cake pieces right on top of the Jell-O. The cake is the land. Some of the pieces of cake layers on top of each other to give it that building look of Minecraft.
4. Cut the Rice Krispie Squares into the same size as the Jell-O and Cake squares. Lay those down as the sand of the beach.
5. We added to the look of the cake with 2 Minecraft figures (Steve and a Creeper) and their accessories. Some people who have done a similar cake did use foldable downloads to make their figures with. The figures were part of our son's birthday present from us.
