I also have the same problem referring to the ambiguity of BT (is a BT or has BT ?), therefore I propose that the skos relationships could include the verb: skos:hasBroader and skos:hasNarrower. This will avoid confusion. -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Leonard Will Sent: 14 January 2008 22:47 To: SWD WG; SKOS Subject: Re: TR : [SKOS]: [ISSUE 44] BroaderNarrowerSemantics On Mon, 14 Jan 2008 at 18:15:23, Antoine Isaac <email@example.com> wrote >I'd like to have your opinion on the example I will adapt from in [1], >itself adapted from Simon's previous mails >Consider we have a thesaurus that says: >> mountains regions BT Himalaya >> Himalaya BT Everest Antoine - Just to clarify this example first, I should note that the normal convention in thesaurus circles, and in BS8723-2, para.8.3.1, is to interpret BT as meaning "has the broader term" and NT as "has the narrower term". ISO 2788, paragraph 4.1, also reads BT Broader term; the term that follows the symbol represents a concept having a wider meaning I remember some previous discussion on the SKOS list about the ambiguity of using these abbreviations the other way round, to mean "is the broader term of", for example. This can easily give rise to confusion and should be sorted out urgently. Thus I would write your example above as mountainous regions NT Himalaya Himalaya NT Everest where the first is in fact an NTI relationship (i.e., for Margherita's benefit, narrower term instantive, meaning that the proper name Himalaya is a specific instance of a mountainous region, the reciprocal relationship being BTI). The second is a NTP relationship (i.e. narrower term partitive, meaning that Everest is a part of the Himalaya, reciprocal BTP). >If BT is transitive, than for the query "give me the concepts that >linked tio montains regions via BT" we'll get "Himalaya" and "Everest". >To me (and others), this raise the following issues: >- "mountains regions" BT "Everest" may seem questionable (especially if >we know this KOS to be carefully designed, following e.g. ISO2788!) >- both concepts are now given as if siblings, losing track of the >initial design. > >In the end I feel that the second is the most serious one, since if we >go for a very rough specification of broader (fitting classification >schemes' idea of hierarchy for instance) we could still argue that >indeed there is a form a 'broader' statement between the two concepts. >But anyway, I'd like to have your opinion on both ;-) I think the issue is how transitivity is to be used. The main use of a hierarchy, apart from displaying structure and giving logical paths for navigation, is to allow a search for a concept to be expanded to include narrower concepts. In the generic case this is valid because the narrower concepts are specific classes which fall within the broader concept. The rules for indexing are generally that you allocate the most specific terms possible to a document, and you can rely on the thesaurus to enable these concepts to be found even when the search is expressed in broader terms. The whole/part or "partitive" relationship can lead to problems, and BS8723-2, paragraph 184.108.40.206 says that it should normally be restricted to four specific cases: a) systems and organs of the body b) geographical locations c) disciplines or fields of discourse d) hierarchical social structures. The "Himalaya NTP Everest" example falls into case b), and it is reasonable that someone searching for information about the Himalaya and any of its parts should wish to retrieve items that have been indexed with the term "Everest". I agree that if transitivity is to work across mixed types of relationship, we would have to interpret NT to mean "has the more specific concept, part or instance", to generalise what Simon Spero suggested. If you then had EU countries NTI France France NTP Paris it would be true to say that Paris is a more specific concept, part or instance of an EU country. Perhaps we should adopt this meaning. We should note, though, that this type of interpretation is used when deciding how to expand a search using a thesaurus hierarchy. It does not allow you to modify the hierarchy itself, by designating France and Paris as siblings. BS8723-2, paragraph 14.3 g), specifically forbids this, saying Validation checks should prevent the entry of inadmissible relationship combinations. If two terms already have one of the standard relationships, no other standard relationship between the same terms is admissible. If term A has BT term B, none of the terms in the BT hierarchy above term B should be admissible as BT, NT or RT of term A. This means that we cannot create a direct relationship which jumps over the middle concept. It seems to me that we have two options: 1. If the consequence of this is that transitivity is in general not valid, then SKOS should reflect that; 2. If we accept the generalised definition of hierarchical relationship, e.g. using NT to mean "has the more specific concept, part or instance", then we can assume transitivity. I don't know which of these fits best with the purpose and approach of SKOS. I think the decision should come from an examination of use cases.

The extraterrestrial double whammy that Earth only partially avoided on Friday has triggered an immediate response from astronomers. Several have announced plans to create state-of-the-art detection systems to give warning of incoming asteroids and meteoroids. These include projects backed by Nasa as well as proposals put forward by private space contractors.
In each case, scientists want to develop techniques that can pinpoint relatively small but still potentially devastating meteoroids, comets and asteroids that threaten to strike Earth. These would give notice of impact of several days or possibly weeks and allow threatened areas to be evacuated.
The announcements of the various plans follow Friday's meteorite crash that caused devastation in Chelyabinsk, Russia. On the same day, a 150ft-diameter asteroid swept to within 17,000 miles of Earth.
The fact that the two events happened together has been dismissed as "a cosmic coincidence" by scientists. Nevertheless, astronomers – many gathered at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Boston this weekend – have been quick to reassure the public that they have plans to provide better warnings of future impacts.

The wedding bands you choose as a couple will be a lasting reminder of your wedding ceremony and marriage for years to come.
Between proposal and marriage, an engaged couple should discuss the option of wedding bands together, and then purchase their bands in advance so that there is no panic at the last minute when all of the other wedding plans have fallen into place.
With so much variety when it comes to wedding bands it is advisable to shop around and plan ahead. Between you, discuss the type of metal that you'd like to purchase your wedding bands in, and be sure to seek out all options if you plan on buying a matching pair. In terms of metal you'll be faced with the choice of gold, white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum and palladium to name but a few. Take your wedding band budget into consideration before you browse.
Some couples prefer to buy wedding bands that compliment each other – where as other couples choose to wear something unique to them as an individual. If the bride-to-be has a unique or unusually shaped engagement ring then she may need to take this in to consideration when choosing her wedding band. The groom will also have a wide choice when it comes to choosing a wedding band that he's going to feel comfortable with forever. When you decide to make your purchase be absolutely sure that the style and fit of your wedding band is right - as you'll be wearing it every day, for as long as you both shall live.

"This is the first study to demonstrate that older individuals' age stereotypes can predict their sensory perception," said first author Becca R. Levy, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH) and Department of Psychology at Yale.
"Although a wide array of biological factors have been identified that contribute to hearing decline, our team felt it was important to understand whether social psychological factors, such as the age stereotypes that individuals take in from their culture, may also influence hearing," said Levy.
Levy and her team studied 546 people age 70 and older. The participants were part of the Precipitating Events Project, a long-term study of residents of the Greater New Haven area. Their age stereotypes were measured when they entered the study. Hearing was measured with a hand-held audioscope at the beginning of the study at baseline and again three years later.
To measure age stereotypes, participants were asked, "When you think of an old person, what are the first five words or phrases that come to mind?" The responses were judged on how negative or positive they were and how internal or external they were. Stereotypes rated negative included "senile" and "feeble," whereas stereotypes rated positive included "wise" and "active." External stereotypes included visual images such as grey hair, wrinkles and stooped posture. The study adjusted for initial levels of hearing, as well as several other variables that are known to affect hearing including age, education, gender, race, depression, chronic conditions and smoking history.
Older persons with more negative and external age stereotypes performed worse on hearing measures at the end of the three-year study. According to Levy, "Hearing loss is the third most common chronic condition among persons age 65 years and older and can lead to increased social isolation, self-denigration, loneliness and depression."
Levy said both negative and external age stereotypes could have adverse health-behavior consequences, such as older individuals becoming more accepting of hearing loss than younger people and not seeking medical attention.
Other authors on the study were Martin D. Slade and Thomas M. Gill, M.D.
The study was funded by the National Institute on Aging and was conducted at Yale EPH and the Yale Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center.

The weekend storm changed the plans some, but in the end didn't cancel them out entirely.
Jazz pianist Fred Hersch will present a solo recital at Hope College on Thursday, Feb. 24, at 11 a.m. in Wichers Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Hersch was originally to perform with his trio on Monday, Feb. 21, but was unable to reach West Michigan for the event because of the storm that struck the area the day before, his flight rerouted back to New York just 10 miles from the Grand Rapids airport. He has arrived on campus since, though, and in addition to performing on Thursday is working with students through a residency previously scheduled in conjunction with the Feb. 21 concert.
A pianist and composer, Hersch is no stranger to Hope's stage after performing at
the college in 2004, 2005, 2009 and 2010, making this year's performance his fifth
Hersch has been described by "Downbeat" as "one of the small handfuls of brilliant musicians of his generation." Hersch's numerous accomplishments include a 2003 Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for composition, two Grammy nominations for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance and a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Composition. He has appeared on more than 100 recordings, including more than two-dozen albums as bandleader/solo pianist.
Hersch has acted as a passionate spokesman and fund-raiser for AIDS services and education agencies since 1993. He has produced and performed on four benefit recordings and at numerous concerts for the charities "Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS" and "Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS" that have raised more than $250,000 to date.
Hersch is currently a visiting professor at Western Michigan University and is on the jazz studies faculty of The New England Conservatory.
Nykerk Hall of Music is located in the central Hope campus at the former 127 E. 12th Street between College and Columbia avenues.

Something I didn't have a problem with when I was young were the 'funny fonts' and the pretend handwriting in print. I read comics every week and managed just fine.
But these days I find I just won't read the books I receive that don't come with ordinary print. Jeff Kinney's Wimpy Kid is an example. I no longer feel guilty, because the man seems to do all right even without Bookwitch reviews of his books. Daughter read the first one and loved it. I was sure I would also have enjoyed it, had it not been for the visual effects. 'Handwriting' and diaries with 'hand drawn' pictures are simply not for me.
This week I looked longingly at the new Liz Pichon book about Tom Gates. It sounds good, and looks fun, as long as I don't have to try and read it.
Aspie book Colin Fischer by Ashley Edwards Miller and Zack Stentz contained diary sections, which I had to read if I wanted to get through the whole story. I really wanted to, so forced myself.
I have read comics in my hard-to-please adult age. Some have been better than others. It depends on how much motivation I have, and on the layout in each individual case. David Fickling's Phoenix was actually OK. I wonder if they spent more time over design?
My Vi magazine has a regular page which I can't tell you much about. I believe it's a comic style political comment. But I don't actually know, as I can neither see the pictures properly, nor even begin to hope to decipher the words. I assume someone must, or they wouldn't – couldn't – print the stuff.
It feels a waste to strive for the hard-to-read style, but my experience of suggesting that magazines stop printing yellow on white and similar, generally meets with surprisingly unhelpful replies. They feel it looks good. No one has complained before. They are a little sorry I can't manage it. But not very sorry. There are many other readers, after all.

Apps: The Orchestra App
The Philharmonia Orchestra launched The Orchestra – an iPad app – in 2012. This collaborative project is a completely new and innovative way of introducing an audience to the inner workings of the modern orchestra.
The Orchestra is an extraordinary new app from Touchpress that will delight anyone with even a passing interest in classical music. Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra performing extended extracts from eight works representing three centuries of symphonic music. The app allows real-time selection of multiple video and audio tracks, along with an automatically synchronised score and dynamic graphical note-by-note visualisation of each piece as it is played. The result is an immersive environment for exploring the music and all the instruments of the orchestra.
The Orchestra is a collaboration between the Philharmonia Orchestra, Touchpress, Rite Digital, Music Sales Group and Esa-Pekka Salonen.
The Orchestra undertook an incredibly long day of recording at Henry Wood Hall in London, playing 8 separate pieces over 9 hours of recording time, recorded by 10 cameras. Other layers of the app include Philharmonia players talking about their instruments as well as Principal Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and musicians from the Philharmonia providing commentary on each piece. All this provides the user with a unique insight into the world of the orchestral musician.
Some of the films within the app are also available in the 'Explore' section of the website.

Android, Airplanes, and Assembler: IDEOne
I spend a lot of time on airplanes. It used to be you'd often strike up a conversation with the person next to you on a plane. Over the years I met the editor of a newspaper in Roswell, New Mexico (and, yes, he was human as far as I could tell), an LA Laker Girl (no kidding), and many other interesting characters. But these days, you don't get much chance to visit with your flying neighbors because everyone has an iPod, or a laptop, or some other gadget to keep them busy.
I'm no exception. But when I look around at the others on the plane, I see most of them watching movies, listening to music, or playing games. Once in a while you'll see someone in a suit working on a spreadsheet or some PowerPoint charts. I wonder what people think when they see me writing C++ or Java code on the plane?
I like to code. Some music in the headphones for background noise and I'm coding away on the plane. No phone ringing off the hook. Often no e-mail, although more planes are getting WiFi now. I used to carry a netbook running Linux, so my old friends GCC and javac were right there on the plane with me. However, lately I've been carrying an Android tablet. I'd bet someone has GCC and Java tools that run native, but it would be a stretch.
So I find myself on an airplane, my seat mates all plugged into their devices and I'm surfing the Web using the plane's WiFi. I really wanted to play with a little algorithm that was dancing in my head, but I didn't have the netbook with me and my laptop is too big for a coach seat. Then I noticed something in the Android market: IDEOne.
A few minutes later I had IDEOne installed on the tablet. It turns out the application is a front end to the IDEOne website (http://www.ideone.com), which requires free registration. This website lets you enter source code and compile it in roughly 40 different languages ranging from Ada and awk to Visual Basic and Whitespace. Of course, C, C++, C#, Java, and many others are right there too.
Don't expect Eclipse. This is not made to be a production environment, but it is handy for testing a little snippet of code or demonstrations or training. I was having a conversation with someone about multiple inheritance in C++, for example, and fired up the IDEOne website to compile the following code (see the screenshot for how it looked online):
#include <iostream> using namespace std; class base1 { public: void p1(void) { cout<<"Object base1\n"; } }; class base2 { public: void p2(void) { cout<<"Object base2\n"; } }; class multi: public base1, public base2 { public: void print(void) { p1(); p2(); } }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { multi obj; obj.p2(); obj.p1(); obj.print(); return 0; }
The Android app is also great fun (hint: your password is your API key, not your login password, so create an API key when you create your account). With either the Android app or the website you can try out that FORTRAN code for sieving prime numbers that just can't wait until you get home!

definition of Youth Training Scheme from Oxford Dictionaries Online.
English Teacher
Teaching an ESL class earlier this week, The expression "job experience" came up in the textbook, and my immediate reaction was that it was not correct, although there is no doubt as to the meaning of the expression.
I have a co-teacher who objects strongly to any disagreement with the textbook, and so I looked up as much as I could online. A quick Google search gave me approximate values as to common usage - "work experience" returned around 15 million hits, whereas "job experience" returned a few less than 1 million. Searching the online dictionary on the Oxford website turned up no results for "job experience", neither did a consultation with the biggest English-Japanese dictionary in our library.
All this led me to conclude that "job experience" is a term in current use but not strictly correct English, perhaps analogous to (but certainly not on par with!) "should of", or any other recent expression used in absence of knowledge of the proper term.
Also whereas "work experience" can be expressed as "I experienced work" or "My work experience", the same cannot be said of "job experience", although "on-the-job experience" is a valid usage.
I'd be interested to know what anyone else has to say, specifically regarding the 'technically accurate' side of things rather than common usage, since my students are studying for university entrance exams.
definition of Youth Training Scheme from Oxford Dictionaries Online.
To me, job experience sounds strange, but I am from the UK, not North America or Australia.
I'd use professional experience for the jobs someone has done and work experience for short-term, often unpaid, tasters in the workplace for students, etc, to help them decide on their careers.
Thank you for the replies lauralie and Tdol.
The quote from Oxford seems to be a governmental description of a particular program rather than an Oxford professor's own words, and my co-teacher with whom I am having the argument also produced numerous examples but only from newspapers since he could find no literary ones.
This would seem to confirm my suspicion that while the expression 'job experience' is used, it is not strictly correct English and shouldn't be in a textbook.
Does that sound like a fair assessment?
Job Experience would be seen as a heading in a resume
one gets on-the-job experience, where one is trained at the actual job site.
Are you sure this is correct? I've been advised that 'professional experience' is the appropriate resume heading. A Google search seems to confirm this, 16 million hits for 'professional experience' and less than 1 million for 'job experience'.
People sometimes make mistakes such as this, usually when the correct expression is unknown. Another example is 'addicting games', in common usage by anyone who doesn't know that the adjective is 'addictive'.
Also you seem to be confusing 'training' and 'experience'. 'On-the-job training' is where one is trained at the actual job site.
I'd use professional experience (British English speaker)
'Work experience' seems more natural to me.
You seem to be wanting someone to come up with an authority to say that 'job experience' is incorrect English. They won't, because it isn't. Most of us may use other terms; you may not like this one; but it's around, and, that being so, it has every right to appear in a textbook.
Quite right, or an authority that confirms that it is in fact correct English. As I've said in previous posts and what should be clear to anybody, an expression being 'around' doesn't make it correct, see examples given above.

Rock County authorities say questions remain about baby's kidnapping
Police are not ruling out more arrests in the kidnapping of a Town of Beloit baby.
Kayden Powell is back with his parents, and his aunt is in jail, but investigators are chasing down numerous leads.
In newly released 911 calls, Kayden's mother is frantic after discovering her newborn is gone from his bassinet in the middle of the night.
Nearly 24 hours later the baby was found alive outside of an Iowa gas station in a plastic tote.
The baby's aunt, Kristen Smith, is in a Tippton, Iowa, jail facing federal kidnapping charges, but questions remain surrounding the infant's disappearance.
"While the baby was found, and there is some closure that way, I think it's going to be a while before we have the entire case wrapped up here," Rock County Sheriff's Department Cmdr. Troy Knudson said.
Knudson said law enforcement is looking into potentially more arrests.
"A lot of us are still struggling to understand what the thought processes are and were and what's all coming into play, but before we are done, we will know," Knudson said.
Investigators told WISN 12 News reporter Christina Palladino the case remains wide open, and they're still getting numerous tips from the Town of Beloit community as they try to piece together how exactly Kayden vanished from this home.
"If there is a Twitter post or Facebook post or telephone call that's made, you have to understand what happened in each of those is this something that needs to be followed up on," Knudson said.
Authorities found a prosthetic baby bump in Smith's car when they pulled her over in Iowa.
They allege she faked her own pregnancy, telling friends on Facebook she'd just given birth.
Police said Kayden's parents have cooperated and are out of state for now.
Smith is being kept apart from the general jail population. The sheriff made the call for safety reasons, saying he didn't feel comfortable holding Smith with other female inmates who saw media coverage about the kidnapping allegations.
The U.S. attorney told WISN 12 News that Smith will appear in court Friday. She could be brought back to Wisconsin for more charges.

British epic power metallers DRAGONFORCE performed two brand new songs "Last Fallen World" (described by singer Marc Hudson as "the fastest, most extreme DRAGONFORCE song so far") and "Cry Thunder" during their October 21 concert at the Gramercy Theater in New York City. Fan-filmed video footage of the show can be seen below.
Due to circumstances beyond their control, DRAGONFORCE was forced to cancel Tuesday's (October 18) sold-out gig at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, California. The concert would have been the U.S. live debut of DRAGONFORCE's new singer Marc Hudson, who joined the band earlier this year. However, upon his arrival in L.A. last weekend, Marc fell ill, contracting a virus which prevented him from performing. Hudson made the valiant effort to try and salvage the show, consulting with a doctor Monday night for the final time. He was told that there was no way he could possibly perform in his condition.
DRAGONFORCE's return to the U.S. after a two-year absence was meant to give fans a unique opportunity to preview the band's new singer and brand new songs from their highly anticipated forthcoming album before moving to the big stage with full production on their world tour which commences early 2012.
After entries from thousands of hopefuls across the globe, DRAGONFORCE in March welcomed 23-year-old Marc Hudson to the band to fill the boots left by ZP Theart, who parted ways with the group in March of last year.
Born in Oxford England, Marc was picked from the thousands of applications via a number of impressive video auditions and live performances, which left the rest of the band in no doubt that they'd found their man. Since the age of 16, Marc has been building his vocal skills gigging with bands in the U.K. underground scene, developing a powerful style with influences which include Bruce Dickinson, Michael Kiske and Sebastian Bach.
The band has been working on a new album since early 2010, recording in various studios in California, London and the South of France. The follow-up to 2008's hugely successful "Ultra Beatdown" album will be highly anticipated, with top 10 and top 20 chart positions all over the world and a Grammy nomination in the United States setting the precedent. With Marc brought into the fold, the band is enjoying an injection of enthusiasm and hunger that sees DRAGONFORCE prepared to return more focused and determined than ever before.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Wireless Charger Enters Into Production
The wireless charging kit for the Samsung Galaxy S3 has just entered into mass production.
The new accessory is extremely thin and is made specifically for mobile devices. Most future smartphones will be compatible with this new wireless charging technology and many of the current devices require a case that will come with the kit in order to juice up without a wire.
The new kit should be available for the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note in the near future.
In order to use the kit, a special case must be applied to the phone's body, then the user must place the handset in the dock and it will automatically charge.
Samsung's wireless charging technology features a charging coil that is 40 percent thinner than most other wireless charging kits being developed, making the company's version a bit more unique. This will allow Samsung to create extremely thin devices that can charge wirelessly.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.1, JellyBean update is now available for the unlocked version of the handset in the U.K.
This official upgrade can be accessed using Samsung KIES software and is available for the unbranded SIM-free model.
It features a unique build number of I9300XXDLJ4 and seems like a much better version of the software, according to YouMobile.org.
This is also the 5th build of JellyBean to be released for the Galaxy S3 in Europe.
The update was recently released for three of the major carriers in the U.K: Three, O2, and Vodafone OTA (over-the-air). There have not been any reported problems with the update.
It started rolling out in the U.K. last week and the timing was first confirmed in an O2 user forum.
"Good news! The wait time is almost over for Samsung Galaxy S3 users. From tomorrow, 19th Oct. '12, you'll be able to upgrade to the much awaited 4.1 Jelly Bean update over Wi-Fi or via Kies," wrote O2's social media team.
"If you have activated the 'auto-update' feature from out of box, you will be prompted to download the 4.1 Jelly Bean update," continued O2.

FARMINGTON — According to the town clerk's office in Farmington, the new tax rate has gone up by $1, or 4.76 percent, compared to last year.
The overall tax rate is $21 per $1,000, with a 127.7 percent equalization ratio, compared to last year's $20, with a 105.9 percent ratio.
The set tax rate includes $6.65 for the town, $2.18 for state schools, $9.87 for local schools and $2.30 for the county. Last year, the town tax was higher by 48 cents at $7.13, and the state schools tax was higher by 17 cents, set at $2.35. The county tax also went down by 10 cents.
The increase is seen in the local schools rate, up by $1.75 compared to $8.12 last year.
Business Administrator for SAU 61, including Farmington and Middleton, Jeanette Lemay could not be reached for comment before press time though the Union Leader reports the local school portion rose due to a combination of less revenue and a smaller fund balance than the previous year.
Town Clerk Kathy Seaver explained for the town portion of the rate, the municipality paid some money to try to offset the increase from the schools.
"By buying down the town side of the rate, it helped curb some of the increase on the other side," she said.
According to the Union Leader, taxpayers will see a rise in their taxes even though the community paid off a bond for its elementary school, the Valley View Community School in Farmington.
Farmington tax rate up by $1
FARMINGTON — According to the town clerk's office in Farmington, the new tax rate has gone up by $1, or 4.76 percent, compared to last year.

The Vatican's penchant for secrecy has won out over American-style transparency.
The U.S. cardinals in Rome for the conclave to elect the next pope canceled their popular daily press briefings Wednesday after some details of the secret proceedings under way ahead of the election were purportedly leaked to Italian newspapers.
The Vatican denied it had exerted any pressure on the American cardinals to keep quiet. But the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, made clear that the Holy See considered this week's pre-conclave meetings, in which cardinals are discussing the problems of the church, to be secret and part of a solemn process to choose a pope.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"The College (of Cardinals) as a whole has decided to maintain a line of an increasing degree of reserve," he said.
The spokeswoman for the U.S. cardinals, Sister Mary Ann Walsh, said Wednesday's briefing was canceled after concern was expressed by other cardinals Wednesday morning "about leaks of confidential proceedings reported in Italian newspapers."
She said as a precaution, all interviews had been canceled.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Walsh said Italy's La Stampa newspaper had on Monday and Tuesday reported details of comments individual cardinals made in the closed-door meetings that were cited as a violation of their oath of secrecy. That prompted the decision to observe a media blackout.
She dismissed speculation that the Vatican and cardinals from other countries simply didn't appreciate the openness of the Americans, saying: "I don't think anyone was angry at the Americans, they were angry at La Stampa."
"In true old-style Catholic school teacher fashion, someone talks and everybody stays after school," Walsh said. She added that the Americans had been assured that the Vatican was pleased with their briefings.
Italian newspapers and international media, including The Associated Press, have reported on the unique briefings the Americans were providing, and how they contrasted with the near-silence from other cardinals and the comparatively sedate Vatican briefings.
In a press conference Tuesday, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Texas and Sean O'Malley of Boston held a lively and informative 30-minute chat with some 100 reporters and two dozen television crews from around the globe.
They revealed no details of their closed-door discussions. But they nevertheless provided journalists with insight about the process from two people actually involved.
"We're trying to help people have a greater understanding of what the process is and the procedures and background information," O'Malley told reporters. "Right now that's about all we can share with you but we're happy to try to do it."
The Americans were the only cardinals who were holding daily briefings; other individual cardinals have given occasional interviews to individual media.
Separately Wednesday, the Vatican said only one voting-age cardinal remained absent, Vietnamese Cardinal Jean-Baptiste Pham Minh Man. Lombardi said he was expected Thursday, meaning a date for the start of the conclave could be decided then.

My collection of culinary quotations recently met up with recipes from the wooden recipe box on the kitchen counter. I pull the quotes from unlikely sources, like Abraham Lincoln.
Sometimes collections have nothing in common, like old baseball cards and Italian pottery. They find separate homes in old shoeboxes in the attic or on kitchen shelves.
Other times, collections find common ground. My collection of culinary quotations stuffed into a desk drawer met up with recipes from the wooden recipe box on the kitchen counter. I pull the quotes from unlikely sources, like Abraham Lincoln, who once intoned over a hot beverage, "If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; if this is tea, please bring me some coffee."
These old recipes hail from times when people worked off their food in places where no membership was required. Careful reading shows that most parts can be reassembled to interact with one another as the beef from marinade recipe partnering nicely with the béarnaise sauce.

Almost a year ago, Adobe began an effort to allow high quality, magazine style content to be displayed on the Web using the Open Web Platform (HTML5, CSS). Many of the necessary features were present in CSS, but not all necessary features were there. Adobe proposed CSS Regions as a draft specification of some advanced CSS layout features and a proof-of-concept implementation based on WebKit to the CSS Working Group during a face-to-face meeting (see the minutes).
The following video provides a short introduction to the CSS Regions features and you can read more in this article posted last year.
At the time what we called CSS Regions included a fairly large set of features. Since then, we've taken this initial set of features through the first steps of the standardization process at the W3C. And we've made progress moving our demo code into WebKit proper. This blog post reviews what has happened in the last year and discusses our plans for the next few months.
CSS WG efforts
Separating features into modules
The first thing we found was that separating out some of the proposed features into smaller, more focused modules was easier to edit and seemed preferred by the CSS WG. So we separated the CSS Regions features from the CSS Exclusions features and produced two new specifications. In addition, we found that some of the issues around breaking content into Regions are also relevant to CSS Multicolumn Layout and CSS Paged Media. So these common issues have been placed in a new module called CSS Fragmentation.
To summarize, the original proposed features are now found in these three modules:
- CSS Regions includes named flows and region chains that allow for complex, magazine-style layouts.
- CSS Exclusions defines ways to flow inline content around and inside shapes that are either defined in CSS or extracted from content.
- CSS Fragmentation defines how content breaks between pages, columns or regions.
Working with co-editors
One of the greatest things that happened with this effort is the partnerships that built around this proposal. For example, Microsoft has worked as a co-editor for both CSS Regions and CSS Exclusions. In addition, they have taken the lead on the CSS Fragmentation work which they co-edit with Mozilla. We find working with co-editors extremely valuable because it improves the specification editing process and the preparation for the working group meetings and conference calls. For example, we work with the co-editors to keep the list of specification issues on CSS Regions up-to-date.
Of course, it is not just the editors who contribute to the specification, as the list of people in the acknowledgment section attests.
Integrating comments
Both CSS Regions and CSS Exclusions have gone through many rounds of comments and improvements. Most of the feedback we've received has come from the www-style mailing list where all CSS specifications are discussed (people who want to comment on these specification drafts prefix their emails with "[css3-regions]" or "[css3-exclusions]"). We have also made extensive use of the CSS WG wiki and Bugzilla data base for working through and documenting proposed changes.
At TPAC 2011, the CSS working group had a discussion about the scope of regions and exclusions. The questions raised were about whether or not these modules had enough features to stand by themselves, or if more features were needed. In particular, some issues were seen as problematic:
- could regions be generated automatically to accommodate for more content or is it required for users to create regions before content is flowed (using scripts on declarative HMTL elements)?
- could regions automatically adapt to their content in the block direction (height for latin text)?
- is the model for exclusions creating circular dependencies? Should the exclusions model be clarified?
This led to an agreement at the follow-on CSS WG meeting in February (Paris) to:
- create a page template proposal to show how regions can be automatically created and used for pagination purposes.
- work on a proposed solution for height:auto region sizing.
- clarify the model for CSS Exclusions for each of the CSS positioning schemes.
Implementation update
In addition to the standards work above, we have been busy implementing these features in WebKit. Microsoft has also been implementing these features in IE10. While there has been a lot of progress (in both browser engines) these features are still cutting-edge and are protected both by vendor prefixes and run-time flags. Also, we are still working on interoperability between the WebKit version and IE. So while you can turn on CSS Regions in canary builds of Chrome, nightly builds of Safari, or try things out in the IE 10 Preview, don't rely on what's currently available for production yet: the syntax and feature set is still being discussed in the CSS Working Group. But it is a great time to start experimenting with the feature as Paul Irish did recently.
While Adobe had been using its own private branch of WebKit for a while, we are now contributing upstream to the main branch which has been new for us. We decided to start with CSS Regions and learn how to work properly with the WebKit community of coders and testers. By now we have almost all of the current working draft of CSS Regions implemented, and have started adding parsing code for CSS Exclusions.
Summary of where you can use CSS Regions today:
- Canary: CSS Regions implemented but disabled by default
- Chrome 19: CSS Regions implemented but disabled by default
- Chrome 17, 18: CSS Regions implemented and enabled by default
- WebKit Nightlies: CSS Regions implemented and enabled by default
- IE 10 Developer Preview: Implemented and enabled by default
Note that in Canary or Chrome, you can use the about://flags url to list all the optional features and turn regions support on or off (you need to restart the browser for the change to take effect).
Finally, we were very happy to see that Mozilla has added magazine-style layouts (and saying they may implement CSS Regions and CSS Exclusions) to their roadmap.
Next Steps
As new working drafts are officially published we will be updating the implementation to match. So what is going to change in upcoming working drafts? The next CSS WG meeting is in May, and we plan on having the following done in time for that meeting:
- Resolve all of the current issues logged for CSS Regions (or document competing proposals if the WG can't resolve).
- Solve height:auto for regions. We have a proposal that we're discussing with our co-editors and David Hyatt (the main contributor in the area of CSS layout in the WebKit project – David has been very helpful in our efforts to get started with WebKit: providing architecture and design guidance, implementing some parts himself and reviewing patches we submitted), and we are working on code to validate the proposal.
- work with our co-editor to improve the description of the CSS exclusions processing model and provide a specific step-by-step example.
- Prepare a page template proposal and prototype. The prototype will be developed in an open GitHub project. Since this will be a very early-stage proposal the first prototype will be a JavaScript library based on CSS3 Regions in WebKit.
Working with the Web community
The past year has been very enriching for our team. We have grown not only in size, but also in our ability to contribute to both the standard efforts and in the WebKit project.
Our goal with this effort is to help move the web forward, and to improve the CSS layout features available to content authors and web developers.
Having a specification subjected to the scrutiny of a group of experts and the community at large has been a healthy exercise. This process raises the hard questions and in the end makes the proposals better. We are also very intent on running our specification efforts and our implementation efforts in parallel, because we feel it improves the quality of the specifications as they have to sustain the test of implementability. We also want to work on the specification test effort early. We have not done as much as we would like there (even though we have started and have contributed to the CSS test suite), but we are planning to ramp up. Finally, we also want to continue building demos and proof of concepts to demonstrate the use of the new features we propose. Doing so provides a great test bed for both the usability of the specification and the quality of the implementation work.
So looking back over the past year of working on CSS Regions, it has been a fun road to drive. We are thankful for the feedback we have received from the community and our partners (in particular our co-editors) and we are thankful for the WebKit community support. We will post updates on these efforts after the next CSS Working Group face-to-face meeting in Hamburg in May 2012.

What a time for a fundraising campaign. The national economy is down for the count, the state is facing a $16 billion deficit, and the economy is hanging on amid layoffs and slowdowns.
What a time for a fundraising campaign. The national economy is down for the count, the state is facing a $16 billion deficit, and the economy is hanging on amid layoffs and slowdowns.
Those of us who have managed to keep our jobs are seeing smaller wage increases or no raises at all, perhaps even unpaid furloughs or reductions in hours. Those in the private sector particularly are being asked to pick up a larger portion of always-increasing health-care costs.
But for some, life is much more difficult, and that's where organizations funded by the United Way step in.
From agencies that help young people stay on the right track to those that make sure our poorest have something to eat to those that help people with disabilities lead fuller lives, the United Way is a central funding mechanism.
That said, United Way agencies don't serve only those in need; they touch just about all of us. If your son or daughter belongs to the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, or spends time after school at a community center or the YMCA, or your mother or father attends a senior citizen program, you've been touched.
Without funding from the United Way, many of these programs would not exist or would be significantly scaled back.
If that happened, we would all lose.
Considering that government aid for these much-needed programs can no longer be relied upon, the need for private, local funding has never been greater.
With the struggles of some major employers in a challenging economy, it's becoming more difficult each year to raise enough money to help all the agencies that need funding. But it can be done.
Some of us won't have to dig down deep if we can all just dig down a little.
If you work for an employer involved in the United Way fundraising campaign, you can have your donation deducted from your weekly paycheck, and because it's withdrawn in small amounts over the course of the year, you'll never miss the money. If your employer doesn't take part in the campaign, ask them to do so.
You can also donate directly. Just call the United Way at (585) 394-6550 or check out the agency's Web site at www.uwrochester.org.
If you've given in the past, thank you, and please consider increasing the deduction this year. Just a few more dollars from each donor could help the local campaign exceed its goal.
It's money well spent.

Police have had to resort to periodically shutting down Staoughton's skate park, located next to the O'Donnell Middle School, due to several problems, including vandalism, graffiti, fights and marijuana use.
Police have had to resort to periodically shutting down Staoughton's skate park, located next to the O'Donnell Middle School, due to several problems, including vandalism, graffiti, fights and marijuana use. "We've had a little bit of everything," said Acting Chief Thomas Murphy. Murphy said police have been monitoring the park daily and have closed it some days after youth have misbehaved. He said he appealed to parents last spring to talk to their children about the park use, but the situation hasn't improved. "We didn't get a response," he said. A group of teens from Stoughton Youth Commission helped to clean up the skate park in early May, as part of a community service program called "Pride of Stoughton. They painted and repaired the ramps, removed graffiti and picked up a lot of trash, their adviser, Melissa Barbosa said. Barbosa said the group found a lot of trash at the park, including papers that are used for rolling marijuana. She added that the kids worried that the park would be defaced again and ruin their hard work. 'They really wanted it to be kept clean," she said. Kids using the park said they helped to pick up trash, but other people keep trashing it. Mike Bono, who regularly uses the park, said he and other kids, as well as some parents, pick up the trash when they can. He added that if the skate park closes, the kids would resort to skating in the street, which he thinks is more dangerous. "This (the skating park) is definitely a good thing," he said. Murphy said the town has no plans to close the park, but he remains concerned. He said it would be shame if the park closed because those same kids would have idle time on their hands. Murphy said the skate park is dear to his heart, as well as the whole department, because it was built in honor of a Stoughton police officer, William O'Connell, who died of brain cancer at age 52. He also said he is concerned that kids are not wearing helmets, and doesn't want to see anyone have a bad accident that could have been prevented. "When parents drop them off, they should make sure they have helmets, and remind them to pick up the trash," he said. For now, Murphy continues to ask that residents show more respect for the park, and contact him if they have any questions.

Murder, stabbing not part of new crime trend, police say
Des Moines police said Wednesday that they are not seeing a trend develop downtown of increased violence crime despite two recent events.
A fatal beating more than a week ago and a stabbing at Cowles Commons on Tuesday have downtown workers and residents talking.
"They are within a couple blocks of each other. It appears that right now, this is not a developing trend downtown," said Des Moines police spokesman Sgt. Jason Halifax. "We're not seeing increases in violent activity downtown."
Barbara Kirk has lived in downtown Des Moines for more than 24 years near where the recent murder and stabbing happened. She said she feels safe downtown.
"We've actually become a neighborhood down here now," said Kirk. "I mean you can walk into a place and people call you by name. You see your neighbors everywhere. You can get on a bike and bike as far as you want to go."
Kirk said she walks down the Principal Riverwalk most days and walks across Cowles Commons every day or twice a day.
"You know I feel completely safe on the skywalk and also walking downtown," said Kirk.
Kirk said people shouldn't feel like downtown isn't safe after just a couple incidents.
Police said more people are likely to be charged in the fatal beating case. There is no description available yet for those involved in the stabbing on Tuesday. Police said witnesses to the stabbing didn't realize how serious the situation was until after it was over and at this point they have no new information in that case.

What show recently impressed you?
I was privileged to see The Testament of Mary before it closed. I found it to be a compelling piece, not only for Fiona Shaw's sterling performance, but for humanizing the figure of Mary. It embodied so much of what I love about theatre; provocative and moving at once. I was thrilled to be in that audience.
What production are you most excited to see?
I really want to see Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, though I think tickets will be in demand now that the Tonys are done. I love Durang's work and have heard nothing but glowing praise about his newest show.
What play/musical would you most like to revive on Broadway, and which role would you want to play?
I'd love to see Long Day's Journey Into Night revived and would kill to play Edmund in any production of that piece. O'Neill has a special place in my heart, and you better believe I'd be in the front row for any revival of this play. Though seeing the front row from the stage would be even better!
What are your current/upcoming projects?
I'm currently playing Robert in the revival of Sidney Howard's The Silver Cord, playing at Theatre at St. Clement's through July 14, and about to go into rehearsals for Legacy Falls, a new musical by James Burn and Ian Poitier being seen in the upcoming New York Musical Festival in mid-July.

Free Entry
Quite a few ships have come to grief on the fringing reef around Lady Elliot Island, but only one of these can be dived, that is the Severance. This fully intact yacht sank in 1998 and still has much of its rigging in place that is now covered in glorious soft corals. Sitting on a sandy sea floor, 21 metres deep, the wreck is a haven for marine life with cobia, sweetlips, emperors, snappers, trevally and gropers sheltering around the yacht. A look inside the ship will often reveal tasselled wobbegongs, coral trout, coral cod, lionfish and thousands of shrimps. Other visitors to the Severance include turtles, stingrays, reef sharks, eagle rays and manta rays.

Racist Or Not!? Fox News Contributor Debuts Rap Video At CPAC!
"Once again conservatives prove that one, they have absolutely no idea how to do comedy. This has to be some of the most god-awful crap I've seen in a long time. And two, that they have all the subtlety of a blow horn when it comes to their over the top, juvenile, racist antics that look like they were targeted for a crowd of fifteen year old boys, or in this case, the crowd at CPAC 2012." - Crooksnliers

Hugh Jackman wants to do "Les Miz" so badly that he's pushed back "Wolverine 2" to do it, and now he's trying to get Anne Hathaway to join him.
Hathaway is being sought to take the role of Fantine in director Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables," accoridng to Broadway World. The idea seems to have been born of Hathaway's serenading of Jackman with a riff on the show's hit song, "On My Own" during this year's Oscar show.
U.S. & World
Jackman is already on board to play the hero, Jean Valjean, and Russell Crowe is slated to play Inspector Javert, the cop who hounds the bread thief across the years.
Author Victor Hugo described Fantine thusly in his classic novel:
As to Fantine, she was joy itself. Her splendid teeth had evidently been endowed by God with one function - that of laughing. Her thick blond tresses, inclined to wave, and easily escaping from their confinement, obligated her to fasten them continually. Her rosy lips babbled with enchantment. The corners of her mouth, turned up voluptuously, seemed to encourage audacity; but her long, shadowy eyelashes were cast discreetly down towards the lower part of her face as if to check its festive tendencies. Her whole toilette was indescribably harmonious and enchanting. Fantine was beautiful, without being too conscious of it. She possessed two types of beauty - style and rhythm. Style is the force of the ideal, rhythm is its movement.
With a little peroxide we can definitely see Hathaway fitting the bill, and she's got the pipes, though we had no idea teeth could laugh. As we discussed last week, it's been a long time since Hathaway had a major in a film that succeeded commercially or critically, and we're not sure this project would help her break out of her rut.
Also, we're not sure the world needs yet another adaptation of this story.

Cards'ace Wainwright needs season-ending surgery
JUPITER, Fla.–St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright will have Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and miss the entire season.
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak confirmed the news Thursday from spring training camp. He said he learned the severity of the injury Wednesday night after the 29-year-old pitcher sought a second opinion from Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles. A surgery date is not set.
"It's not a real surprise to us but certainly a disappointment,"Mozeliak said."As we look to the future now we certainly believe we still have a strong starting rotation. Now we're going to have to look to try to fill it in terms of a fifth spot."
Wainwright, who won 20 games last year and was runner-up for the NL Cy Young Award, felt arm stiffness after Monday's throwing session. He had experienced soreness toward the end of last season and didn't pitch in September. He had minor arm issues in 1998 and 2004.
His loss leaves the team with a big hole in a starting rotation that for now includes Chris Carpenter, Kyle Lohse, Jaime Garcia and Jake Westbrook.
"That's a big guy to miss,"Lohse said."We still got to go out there and play. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us. We still have to go out there and do our jobs."
The Cardinals entered spring training with a rotation that Mozeliak said he would stack up against any in baseball.
"You're losing an ace,"Mozeliak said."It's not something you can replace overnight. I would also say we have four quality pitchers. It's not exactly like we have no bullets left."
Manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday, before learning the extent of the injury, that he didn't expect the Cardinals to try to replace Wainwright through a trade or free agent signing of someone like Kevin Millwood or possibly Pedro Martinez.
But that could change.
"You follow camps and see if something develops where it's a good fit,"La Russa said."But right now it's not a good fit because were going to cover it from within. We'll pay attention though, that's part of what you do in spring training. We have scouts all over and we'll watch box scores."
La Russa has six or seven pitchers in camp who will have the opportunity to join the rotation.
"Guys are assigned at least a couple appearances over the first eight to 10 games and then a lot of those decisions make themselves,"La Russa said.
The list is headed by reliever Kyle McClellan and includes P.J. Walters, Lance Lynn, Adam Ottavino, Ian Snell, Brian Tallet and Brandon Dickson. McClellan and Tallet are penciled in to join the Cardinals bullpen. Walters, Lynn, Ottavino and Dickson helped comprise the Triple-A Memphis staff for most of last season.
La Russa sees plenty of work for the candidates during the early spring training games.
"Early it's not a problem,"he said."Even if you want to give a guy a look or something the squeeze comes after you've gone through the group twice, when you start really getting the guys(work)that are on the club. So we'll see where we are."
Tommy John surgery reconstructs the ulnar collateral ligament, replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The procedure requires months of recovery. It is named after the pitcher who in 1974 became the first professional athlete to successfully have had the operation.
Mozeliak said spoke to Wainwright late Wednesday.
"Obviously he's down,"Mozeliak said."But he certainly understands what's at stake and he's disappointed but I think he's also relieved to know what the next step looks like."
The 6-foot-7 Wainwright went 20-11 with a 2.42 ERA last season, finishing behind Philadelphia's Roy Halladay in Cy Young balloting while making his first All-Star team. His 2.93 ERA since 2007 trails only Halladay, and no NL pitcher threw more than Wainwright's 463 1-3 innings during the past two seasons.
In 2009, Wainwright led the NL in wins(19), innings(233)and starts(34), winning a Gold Glove while finishing third in Cy Young voting.

Other Software
The Brain Behavior Laboratory makes some of its software available to other researchers in order to promote the advancement of brain research and to facilitate replication of results obtained here.
This software is provided under an Open Source™ license, which permits free use, modification, and redistribution provided that proper credit is given; the complete license terms can be read here.
The use of an Open Source license is an experiment on our part; we have the following reasons for believing that the experiment is worthwhile: First, we believe that software is a form of scientific knowledge and that science advances most rapidly when we can build on each other's work rather than re-implementing each other's wheels. We hope that the people who find our software useful will reciprocate by contributing bug fixes and other improvements to be folded back into our master copy for future releases. Second, we find that we write better software when we expect that dozens of people will be reading our code than when we are writing just for ourselves. Finally, we would rather spend our time doing science rather than trying to monitor and enforce a more restrictive license.
These packages are currently maintained by Paul Hughett at email@example.com, who will be happy to receive bug reports, and even happier to receive bug fixes or other improvements. The NRIA and segm packages are considered obsolete and are no longer being actively maintained; BBLimage will eventually include more flexible replacements for these programs.
BBL's flagship product is PyVox (formerly known as BBLimage), a collection of image processing tools for registering MR images, extracting the brain volume, and segmenting it into CSF and gray and white matter. See its homepage for more details.
loc - Multi-lingual code counter
The loc program counts lines of code in multiple source files and directories, with heuristic rules to determine the language in which each source file is written. The program currently supports C, C++, Perl, Python, and scripts.
loc-1.0.1.src.tgz (2001/09/05, 8 KB)
Segm - Segmentation of MR images of the brain
The segm package includes the adaptive K-means segmentation algorithms developed by Michelle Yan. These have been very useful at BBL for our specific imaging protocols but have not proven adaptable to other protocols.

NRIA - New Region of Interest Analysis
NRIA is an XView-based interactive image analysis program developed and used at BBL and which runs under Solaris 2.5 through 2.7. Unfortunately, it is unsupported, undocumented, and not recommended except to those few people who have learned how to use it while in residence at BBL. We include it here primarily for former BBL students who have taken it with them and want to have the latest version.

Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C. Butter and line the bottom of a 1.7 litre loaf tin (see tip below). In a large bowl, rub the flour, butter and muscovado sugar together with your fingers to make fine crumbs. Measure out 5 level tbsp of this mixture into a small bowl for the topping, and mix in to it the cinnamon and demerara sugar. Set aside.
Coarsely grate the apple down to the core and mix in with the eggs and the zest. Stir the baking powder into the rubbed-in mixture in the large bowl, then quickly and lightly stir in the egg mixture until it drops lightly from the spoon. Don't overmix.
Gently fold in three quarters of the berries with a metal spoon, trying not to break them up. Spoon into the tin and level. Scatter the rest of the berries on top. Sprinkle over the topping and bake for 1¼ -1 hour 20 minutes. Check after 50 minutes and cover loosely with foil if it is browning too much. When done the cake will feel firm, but test with a skewer.
Leave in the tin for 30 minutes before turning out, then cool on a wire rack. Peel off the paper before cutting. Will keep wrapped in foil or in a tin for up to 2 days.
Recipe Tip
Watching the timeA 9x20x13cm loaf tin is ideal, but if yours is shallower, the cake may cook faster, so test after an hour.
Recipe Tip
Using seasonal fruitYou could also use raspberries and tayberries, when they're in season.

I don't think I've ever posted pictures of our horses. We call them the boys as opposed to our in house pets who are all female. Right now we board BUT very soon, they will be coming to our neighbor's farm! Anyone in the Rochester area know a good horse vet?
Sunday was a good day for washing dirty boys!
George is washing our 5 year old Quarter horse Redman.
This is my big boy Ernie. Also a Quarter horse. He is impatiently waiting to dry.
Ernie posing for me in the pasture.
Redman drying in the cross ties. As soon as we let him loose in the pasture he was upside down twisting and grinding all that dirt right back in. He is also known as Pigpen.
I took this picture of theresident barn cat because she looked too sweet to resist. Don't let her fool you though, she can decapitate a Barn Swallow in .5 seconds!

Dear Captain Awkward:
I am trying to not make this question sound like a pity party, but will probably slip up somewhere. Apologies in advance and gratefulness for making this the space you do.
I feel like I am just plain mean a lot of the time.
It's confusing because I try to be really caring and positive and encouraging to my friends, there's just this fucking mean streak too. I also work in Profession where Being Kind and Supportive is a huge part of my job and I don't have any trouble there. The few times my friends have been my clients (which is ethically fine in this field) I have felt lucky because I feel like they finally got to see me at my best.
But outside of that I feel like there's just this continuous stream of negativity that slips into conversations even with people I love, and I dig at people in subtle and not-subtle ways and don't even notice it until the words have already flown out of my mouth.
I think it is a defense mechanism because I don't do it as much when I'm around people I feel comfortable with, but when I'm in a new social setting or around people I'm not sure like me I am just like…negative thought machine word vomit spout. It used to be way worse, but it is still often enough to sting and be totally inappropriate.
I avoid getting involved with people who I can tell are no-bullshit and have good boundaries because I feel like they would automatically dislike me because of it, which sucks because I really respect people who have those skills and I am working on them myself. Simultaneously, I try to avoid becoming close with people who aren't necessarily good at standing up for themselves, because I'm afraid of hurting their feelings.
I'm also really hard on myself, like 24/7 negative self-talk, which I know is my stuff to deal with, and I'm working on getting back in therapy. I guess what I'm wondering about is how to deal with Jerkbrain: Externalized so I'm not always hurting people I care about and feeling like I have to avoid social situations so I don't ruin them for the people who are there to enjoy them, not be insulted.
I already know that what I'm doing is shitty and I am trying to find tools to be able to stop, because shaming myself about it is, surprise, totally ineffectual. Tips? Tricks? Personal red flags to look for? Mantras to repeat under my breath in bathrooms at parties?
Jerk but Trying
Dear Trying Jerk:
The negative self-talk and the negative other-talk are connected. So yes, please go back to therapy.
I've been in the headspace you describe, for sure. I believe the clinical term is "total misery."
