I logged into a client's machine today and saw this one sharepoint file was over 7 gigs in size. I am thinking this is one reason sharepoint has been pokey as of late. Some googling showed me that by default MS basically has the database in debug(which means every little thing is logged no matter what). That's good for diagnostics but it makes the database get bloated to the point it kills performance. I found this MS page about the issue.
here are the instructions as noted in the article:
To reduce the size of the log file, use the following steps. A full server backup is recommended first.
1. Open notepad and Copy and paste the following text into notepad. Save the file as c:\logshrink.sql
declare @ConfigDB varchar(255);
declare @ConfigDBLog varchar(255);
declare @ConfigDBCmd varchar(255);
select @ConfigDB = name from sys.databases where name like 'SharePoint_Config_%';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'BACKUP database [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] to disk="C:\windows\temp\before.bkf"';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'use [' + RTRIM(@COnfigDB) + ']';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'BACKUP LOG [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'use [' + RTRIM(@COnfigDB) + ']';
select @ConfigDBLog = name from sys.database_files where name like 'SharePoint_Config%_log';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'use [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] DBCC SHRINKFILE([' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '_log],1)';
set @ConfigDBCmd = 'BACKUP database [' + RTRIM(@ConfigDB) + '] to disk="C:\windows\temp\after.bkf"';
2. Open an elevated command prompt and run the following command:sqlcmd -S \\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query -E -i c:\logshrink.sql
I had to run it twice to get the file back down to a reasonable size.

The care of hatching eggs during storage – at the farm, in transit or at the hatchery – is an important aspect of hatchery management that aims to preserve the vitally of the embryo.
With optimum temperature and relative humidity, hatching eggs can generally be stored for one week without significantly reducing hatchability or chick quality. Eggs stored for longer that this are known to benefit from lower temperatures (12-14ºC) (Fasenko, 2007; personal experience).
Pre-storage incubation, i.e. incubating eggs before they are placed in the storage room, is a new approach to storage management that aims to develop the embryo to the so-called hypoblast stage: a stage of embryonic development that is better able to survive storage.
According to Fasenko (2007), broiler hatching eggs reach the hypoblast stage after six hours of pre-storage incubation, turkey embryos after 12 hours.
Layer hen hatcheries have reported 3-7%more females after pre-storage incubation for 3-6 hours, when eggs are stored for more than 11 days (Lohmann Tierzucht, Management Guide).
In the broiler industry, positive pre-storage incubation results show at least a 1% increase on expected hatchability, when the eggs undergo pre-storage incubation of 3-6 hours on arrival at the hatchery (Fasenco et al., 2001; Fasenco, 2007). Eggs scheduled for storage for more than seven days after production benefit most from pre-storage incubation.
However, many questions, mainly concerning timing and duration, continue to surround the adoption of pre-storage incubation in routine management practice.
Considerations for the practice of pre-storage incubation
Pre-storage incubation is only beneficial if the embryos in the eggs are in a very early stage of development. For example: if nest temperatures are high and the eggs stay in the nest too long, the embryos may develop beyond the storage resistant stage, when pre-storage incubation will increase early embryonic mortality.
Small-scale experiments will help identify the best timing and length of pre-storage incubation for your own hatchery and eggs types (see below).
To assess results in your own hatchery:
• Place eggs for pre-storage incubation on setter trays in setter trolleys, to ensure uniform egg temperature during incubation.
• Do not incubate eggs on paper trays or in boxes. This guarantees heterogeneous egg/embryo temperatures, resulting in high levels of early mortality.
• Disinfect eggs as long as pre-storage incubation is preformed in a setter located in the setter room ("clean area"). Ideally use to the egg storage room.
• Pre-storage incubation can be applied when eggs arrive at the hatchery 3-4 days after production and are scheduled for more than four days extra storage at the hatchery.
To assess performance benefits and establish pre-storage incubation protocols in hatchery:
• Egg selection: per egg type, there trolleys for pre-storage incubation with one trolley (same batch) for control.
• Disinfect: if the eggs are incubated in a normal routine setter.
• Pre-storage incubation: place trolley(s) with (disinfected) eggs in a running setter at incubation temperature. Incubate the eggs for 3, 6 and 9 hours. Control eggs stay at storage temperature.
• Return pre-storage incubated eggs to the storage room (with control eggs) for at least seven days before starting the normal incubation cycle.
• Run normal incubation with both the pre-storage incubated eggs and the control eggs.
• Evaluate: compare hatchability – pre-storage incubated eggs vs. control eggs.
• Repeat this experiment with eggs from at least three different flocks.
• Evaluate all results. If positive, adopt pre-storage incubation routine as indicated by results.

Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, is the eighth-oldest higher education institution in the United Kingdom , although it only received its university charter in 1966. The name commemorates George Heriot – the 16th century financier to King James, and James Watt – the great 18th century inventor and engineer. The University originated as the School of Arts of Edinburgh in 1821. Women were welcomed as early as 1869, 20 years ahead of other institutions.
Originally based in the centre of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University now has four campuses. The main campus is located in Riccarton in the Currie area on the outskirts of the city. Satellite campuses are located in Galashiels in the Borders (Scottish Borders Campus, formerly the Scottish College of Textiles), Stromness (Orkney campus) and most recently in Dubai Academic City (Heriot-Watt University Dubai campus). Moreover, the Orkney Campus in Stromness is home to The International Centre for Island Technology (ICIT) which is part of Heriot-Watt University's prestigious Institute of Petroleum Engineering.
The Annual Statistics publication (2006/07) shows that the University has a total population of 17,700 students, full-time, part-time and distance and supported learning around the world. Of these 10,700 are on international programmes, including the MBA programme and those studying through one of 53 Approved Learning Partners world-wide. Heriot-Watt has around 7,000 on-campus students in Scotland, more than a quarter of whom are from outside the UK. This international focus creates a very cosmopolitan environment; approximately 10,000 students from 150 countries world-wide are currently studying on international programmes.
In 1852 the name of the school was changed to the Watt Institution and School of Arts, in memory of the engineer and inventor James Watt. In 1869 women were permitted to attend classes, mainly due to the campaigning of Mary Burton, making Heriot-Watt a pioneer in equal opportunities in education.
During the 1870s a new building on Chambers Street was constructed, causing the institution severe financial difficulties that were resolved by an association with George Heriot's Hospital for needy orphans. In 1885 the name was changed to Heriot-Watt College; the name Heriot being ultimately derived from the jeweller, financier and philanthropist George Heriot.
The college continued to expand throughout the 20th century, developing a reputation in the fields of science and engineering, and became a university in 1966, following the recommendations of the Robbins Report.
In 1969 the former Gibson-Craig estate at Riccarton, 7 miles (11 km) to the south-west of Edinburgh, was gifted to the University and was purchased for one penny. Between 1971 and 1992 the University moved to a purpose-built campus on this site, however situated within a city green-belt, buildings on the campus cannot be greater than 4 floors in height. The Campus occupies of mature meadow and woodland to the west of Edinburgh, just six minutes from Edinburgh airport, and some 20 minutes from the city centre by car.
The Edinburgh Business School, a component of Heriot-Watt, boasts one of the world's largest Masters of Business Administration programs , offered on-campus or around the world by distance education, and assessed by rigorous subject exams. A Doctor of Business Administration program, along similar lines but also containing a major research component, has recently been introduced.
In 2005, the university announced plans to open a campus in Dubai. In 2006 (end of 2005), the new . campus opened in Academic City, Dubai. Heriot-Watt University Dubai offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in Business, Accounting, Finance and Management as well as a Master's degree in Information Technology. Engineering degrees (especially Petroleum Engineering) are likely to be introduced in the near future.
Heriot-Watt University's Dubai Campus is a purpose-built modern campus of over in Dubai Academic City formally opened in March 2006. The campus offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses which reflect the University's Scottish Schools and Institutes as well as student exchanges and campus transfers.
On February 1st 2006, the neuroscientist Baroness Susan Greenfield became Chancellor of Heriot-Watt University
The Watt Club recently celebrated its 150th Anniversary, making it the oldest alumni association in the UK.
The University's Student Association (HWUSA), also part of the National Union of Students (NUS), represents almost 8000 students through the Executive Committee which is currently led by President Ruth Bush and Vice President Louise Moncrieff, there is also a Vice President of the Scottish Borders Campus, Steve Connell. The purpose of a students association is to represent the rights and needs of students and campaign on their behalf. Recent successful campaigns include obtaining academic feedback on exams and coursework and organising an accommodation fair. HWUSA also takes an active role in national events such as the demonstrations against the introduction of top up fees, increasing the current costs of education in England, which took place in London, and campaigning to end the graduate endowment fee in Scotland. Also part of HWUSA are the Advice and Support Centre, which provides financial, academic and personal support and recently created International Committee, to represent the 30% international population at Heriot-Watt.
In recent years, many of the sports clubs have enjoyed success in the BUSA leagues, including the Hockey Club after both the Men's and Women's 1st XI reached the knock out stages of the competition. The rugby club is one of the sports unions most well supported clubs with many many members. The annual varsity match against Edinburgh is the highlight fixture of the year, with The Watt coming out on top more often than not.

|Ephrata Cloister hymn book
|Manuscript, 148 leaves, mid-eighteenth century?
|Eighteenth century colonial Pennsylvania was a refuge for many Protestant dissenting sects, including the Solitary Brethren of the Community of Seventh Day Baptists, who founded the Ephrata Cloister in the 1730s near Lancaster. Their charismatic leader, Johann Conrad Beissel (1690-1768), who had been born in Eberbach, Germany, was a significant figure in the development of American hymnology, composing over one thousand hymns, many having appeared in Die Turteltaube, the hymnal of the Ephrata Cloister, and in the Paradisisches-Wunderspiel, a miracle play containing a large collection of religious poetry and music, both of which remain as proof of his native genius as a composer. The Berol Collection consists of twelve printed and manuscript volumes, dating from 1739, relating mainly to the above works, but also including this unidentified choral book, possibly unique, and three manuscripts of Beissel's mystical prose writings.
|Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred C. Berol

Will fiber optics replace the lightbulb?
- Related Stories
Father of energy efficiency to get Fermi AwardJune 13, 2006
The Solon, Ohio-based company has come up with a way to combine industrial-grade lamps with fiber-optic technology to create interior lighting systems that consume far less energy than traditional fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. A single 70-watt metal halide high-intensity discharge lamp from Fiberstars linked to the company's fiber system can provide as much lighting as eight 50-watt incandescent bulbs.
"We consume about one-third of the energy of the best fluorescent systems and about 25 percent of the typical fluorescent system," he said. Additionally, fiber lighting won't emit mercury (like fluorescent bulbs, if broken), radiate heat or give off ultraviolet light.
To date, the company, which was founded in the late 1980s and has received around $16 million in federal research grants, has mostly sold its EFO (efficient fiber optics) lighting systems for use in niche applications, in part because fiber costs more. Las Vegas hotels have bought them to beam special effects onto ceilings and walls.
Swimming-pool manufacturers have gravitated to the company's lights because all the electronics are located outside the water, thereby eliminating the threat of electrocution. The Declaration of Independence is lighted by a Fiberstars system because the light source does not emit ultraviolet rays or heat.
"We just did the Magna Carta a couple of months ago," Davenport said.
In 2005, it pulled in $28.3 million in revenue and reported a $7.4 million loss.
Rising electricity prices, combined with new regulations, however, could push EFO lighting closer toward the mainstream. The W Hotel in New York plans to install the lights in its notoriously murky hallways.
Whole Foods Market has replaced incandescent lights in its seafood departments at various stores with EFO. Not only is electricity consumption down, the ambient temperature of the seafood departments has dropped.
Grocery chain Albertson's ran a trial showing that the lights can reduce energy consumption in freezers. It will now test EFO to light seafood, wine, vegetables and other products. Traditional lights melt ice and can change the flavor of wine.
"There's a huge problem with potato greening," said Keith Tarver, an engineering manager at Albertson's. "It removes all of the heat out of the freezer case."
Residential EFO lighting may come next year, Davenport said.
Electric octopus
EFO essentially revolves around taming metal halide lights. Metal halide lamps are extremely efficient, capable of putting out 90 lumens per watt of energy. (A lumen is a measure of emitted visible light.) A typical incandescent bulb might produce 15 lumens per watt or less; most of the energy in lightbulbs actually gets converted into heat.
A halogen lamp might crank out 18 to 20 lumens per watt. Although longer-lasting and more efficient than incandescent lights, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) also emit heat; the heat comes out of the back rather than where the light comes out.
Unfortunately, metal halide lights work best for illuminating large areas. Big-box retailers like Costco Wholesale deploy 400-watt metal halide lamps on their ceilings. Civil engineers use them to illuminate roads.
To solve that problem, Fiberstars takes the light from the lamp and then distributes it through flexible plastic cables. Thus, the single light source serves to illuminate several different "bulbs."
The light emanating from the end of the fiber-optic cable can come out as a single beam of light or, to make it more aesthetically pleasing, the company can insert a lens at the end of the fiber-optic cables that create diffuse lighting (what you have in your living room) or project special effects.
An EFO system is more expensive than regular lighting systems. The lower electricity bills, however, pay back the price premium in two or fewer years. Southern California Edison conducted a four-month test at an Albertson's in Fullerton, Calif., in 2005.
The system was installed in about 40 freezer cases. The study determined that the lights could save $5,885 in a store with 100 fridge and freezer cases, about the average. Payoff could occur in about 1.8 years. The estimated annual electricity savings for each door was 535 kilowatt hours.
"We're still kind of mulling the rollout part. With any new technology, there is a bit of a challenge with the retrofit," said Tarver. Nonetheless, he added, "the technology is great."
Even with the premium, regulations may prompt businesses to adopt the technology. Federal and state mandates have cracked down on the amount of electricity different businesses can consume or the type of lights they install.
Texas, Massachusetts and some other states are also offering rebates for installing fiber lights. A similar regulatory change prompted appliance makers to develop energy-efficient refrigerators, dryers and washing machines in the 1970s that are now dominant in the field.
Fiberstars makes all of the major components in its lighting system, including the light source, the fiber-optic cable and the integrated optics that distribute the light. In the future, it may outsource the production of some products or license its intellectual property (the company has 43 patents) to other, larger manufacturers.

- Great Idea, now add a relay to use SUNLIGHT during the day.
- I think i read another company is making fiber distribution system for Sunlight.
Adding a switching mechanism would allow Mr. Fusion (the sun) to provide free lighting in the day.
COSTCO has a system like this, Giant 400 watt HID lamps in the ceiling are alternated with planar photon transmission device (PPTD) technology.
During sunlight hours, many of the electric luminares are turned off, with illumination provided by the PFTDs (also known as SKYLIGHTS)

- Integration into new buildings
- "In-house computers could be hooked up with optical tranceivers via USB ports."
That's a good point. It would also make sense in new buildings to install a few fibre-optic systems as well. When they're being built that is.
As well as electricity cables and phone cables, you could have fibre-optic data cables, and you could install lighting optics instead of the lighting circuit. In fact, you could remove the phone cables as well, and just have that included in the fibre-optic system.
But naturally, the people who have a say in these things will be too pig-headed and tight-fisted to embrace these new technologies...

In fact I encourage all of you to go out into the world and find all the fiber optic light decorations then stick tape over then end of each piece.
People keep asking me why their site's bandwidth is so poor - and I tell them, you've allowed these idiots to leave fiber all over the place, and the internet is leaking out of them.
Prevent waste - shore up every leak you can find - Christmas is the worst time of all.
All those shopping sites are moving at a snail's pace because of shoppers.. it's because of all the fiber optic decorations at places like Lowes and Walmart - leaking the internet onto the floor.
Not only that, it causes all kinds of internet ailments and viruses to spread - as people's dirty shoes infect the bits of the internet left lying on the floor by these thoughtless store owners.
So save the internet from further abuse, and duct tape shut every piece of open fiber you can find.

I live in central New York Satet and built a brick dome oven this fall with the FB plans and got as far as completing the dome and chimney but ran out of time to add the insulation layers over the brick and mortar of the dome before it got too cold. Does anyone have any ideas about winterizing the oven to prepare it for completion in the spring, and also general winterization for a brick dome oven in the NE climate? Thanks!
Re: Winterizing
I wrapped mine up with a plastic tarp. I stacked some block and placed a basketball so it would allow rain / snow to run off. I also placed a ton of brick on the tarp so the winds wouldn't blow it to Utah.
Re: Winterizing
I did exactly as Les and didn't have any issues when the warm weather returned.
Re: Winterizing
Thanks Les and Ken. Sounds in line with what I was thinking.
Have either of you used the oven in the winter, say in 20º to 30º temps?
By the way, Ken, I must have watched/looked at your pics and video a hundred times before attempting construction of my oven. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks again.

Re: Winterizing
I plan to fire the oven this winter on a -20F day to see how it performs.
Re: Winterizing
John, glad the pics helped.
I have fired my oven several times in low temps. Works great!

San Diego Small Business Development Center and
Center for International Trade Development to separate
For Immediate Release
Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011
Jim Schneider, firstname.lastname@example.com
CHULA VISTA -- After 22 years of working together, it was announced today that the San Diego Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Center for International Trade Development (CITD) will be reorganized.
In October the centers made the official decision to split in order to maintain their eligibility for state grants, but the separation will not come into effect until January 1, 2012. Formally recognized as the Small Business Development and International Trade Center (SBDITC), the program has been a blend of both the San Diego SBDC and the CITD, both hosted by Southwestern College. Both centers aim to provide business consultation and bolster economic growth in their regions on behalf of the educational institution.
We look forward to continuing our commitment to fostering the growth of San Diego businesses through international trade, said CITD Director Victor Castillo at the last meeting of the SBDITC Advisory Committee today. Operating a combined program with the SBDC was very rewarding but we are looking forward to focusing resources to specifically address international trade within the business community.
Jim Schneider was appointed acting director of San Diego SBDC on November 1 and has been working to oversee the transition.
Schneider said that, though the centers were once very dependent on one another, both have become so successful that the directors are poised to look at this change as an opportunity to focus on their individual missions.
I am honored and excited to help with the transformation and growth of the SBDC. Both programs have benefited from the cooperative efforts of the last twenty years, Schneider said.
The most important aspect of this transition is to continue to grow viable resources in our small business community, said Regional Director of the San Diego and Imperial SBDC Network Debbie Trujillo. The SBDC is a very strong organization and we are taking advantage of the change to strengthen what we do on all levels.
The mission of both programs is to support the success of business in the region. The SBDC focuses on professional management consulting and training. The CITD helps businesses with international trade, including introductory and advanced import/export assistance.
Over the last five years the local SBDC network has assisted more than 12,000 businesses in key areas that include reducing costs, increasing sales, expanding market share, accessing capital, social media, marketing, financial management, government procurement, and international trade. Through SBDC assistance, clients have generated more than $41 million in capital infusion into the San Diego/Imperial economy.
The SBDC may be reached by calling (619) 482-6388, or visiting www.growmybiz.org. To access CITD services contact email@example.com, or visit www.citd.org.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
So today I decided it was about time I got 3D working on my box again
(I have a Voodoo 3 2000, and am running Debian testing).
I started with the innocent looking:
apt-get install xserver-xfree86
That bumped me up to XFree86 Version 18.104.22.168. Yay!
However, accelerated 3D still didn't work. A bit of head-pounding and IRCing
later, I finally found the answer on Google Groups:
apt-get install xlibmesa3
Now, the "glxgears" demo runs at ~80fps, even in fullscreen! Yay!
But now, I'm having a few issues. The first, and most apparent, is that
my fonts are... umm... different. For example, in Konsole (the x-term in KDE),
the default font is some sans-serif proportional font which is coming out
anti-aliased, and in non-proportional space (which, of course, looks very odd).
I'm guessing I need to apt-get install some other fonts. I'll probably
get that figured out if I spend more time (and time while I'm /awake/ :) )
I installed Terminus and TuxRacer today (two of the many commercial Linux
games I've ended up buying or being given, which require accel'd 3D).
Terminus, unfortunately, won't run due to a libstdc++ conflict. (A simple
symblink won't fix it, so I've had to resort to e-mailing Vicarious Vision's
support address.)
TuxRacer, at first, didn't run, because I didn't have a 'matching GLX visual.'
Checking their website, I discovered that for some reason the default
'.rc' file for TuxRacer asks for 32bpp, but my screen's at 16bpp.
I just changed the .rc file to use whatever my current color depth was.
Now, however, rather than complaining and aborting, running the 'tuxracer'
executable actually kills my X server!
Also, now, my virtual consoles (the text consoles accessible via Ctrl-Alt-F1
thru Ctrl-Alt-F6) can't be seen. (Instead, I just see a frozen 640x480
zoom-in of the upper righthand corner of what was on the X screen (C-A-F7)
when I switched. I can still log in and so forth, but I'm blind. I may as
well have the monitor turned off :^( -- Note... once upon a time, under
Red Hat, I had the same issue.)
Finally... and this is a dumb question (but I was having a hell of a time
finding anything using dselect), when I try to compile one of my OWN 3D
games from source, I get complaints about glx.h, gl.h, glu.h, and glut.h
missing. What do I need to apt-get to get those fellows on my box?
Does any of this sound familiar? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions?
In the meantime, I guess I'll leave my invisible consoles, my akward X11
fonts, and my broken 3D games, and head to bed. :)
G'nite, and thanks!

From: Matt Pease (Rackspace customer and customer advocate sidekick!)
Twitter ID: @Dragon2611
I switched to [Rackspace Email & Apps] about a month ago. Even though I could fairly easily run my own SMTP server, I chose Rackspace since it meant I could get support if anything went wrong. Plus, I'd rather get on with what I'd rather be doing, rather than worrying about email.
Since I work across multiple computers, I always use IMAP. That way, I can still use a local email client [(e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird)] on each computer, while still keeping my email in sync. And Rackspace's "Sync for Outlook" plugin ensures that my Calendar and Contacts get sync'd, too, without the need for expensive Exchange servers.
So, yesterday . . .
I was sitting at my home computer playing a game. I'd left Outlook running in the background to ensure that, if any email came in, I'd be alerted.
After finishing the game, I found that Outlook had crashed. After troubleshooting everything—from a simple reboot to creating a new profile—I was able to determine that the problem was, most likely, a corrupt profile. I even tried Microsoft's PST repair tool, but Outlook still wasn't behaving.
No worries, though. Since all of my email, calendar, and contact data is on the Rackspace server, all I needed to do was 1) create a new profile 2) set up IMAP to access my email data and 3) run the Sync for Outlook plugin (from Rackspace), using the "Recover Data" option, to download my calendar and contact data.
Thanks to IMAP and Sync for Outlook, the whole process of re-configuring Outlook took only a few minutes, whereas I could have spent hours trying to otherwise recover my locally stored mail/PST data.

Okay. Jessica Alba hasn't replied to your e-mail. But have faith: Opposites can still attract, especially as you build a lineup in your closet. The rules of proportion dictate that if you wear skinnier pants, you'll want your top half to fit more loosely, and vice versa. Tighter shirt? Keep the jeans roomy.
Tip: Unkempt shirts are never in style. When you iron a button-front shirt, start with the collar, then shift down to the cuffs and sleeves. Save the unbuttoned body for last. Decide tucked or untucked at home; never pull out a wrinkled tail in the middle of the day.

Schroeder's Playboys - An Appreciation
by Tony Parkes, August 2012
If I could be transported back to the 1950s and had my choice of any one square dance band to hear and/or dance to live, it might well be Schroeder's Playboys in Phoenix. I've seldom heard such sheer energy, combined with technical skill and tight teamwork.
"Little Spanish Restaurant" is one piece I never get tired of hearing. Listen to how the fiddler never stops playing when the accordion and banjo take the lead, but instead improvises behind them. (The same record with calls by Al Brownlee can be heard here (Dash 2505). "Square thru" was new enough that Al called out all the turns. A transcription of the calls is available.)
The hoedowns are collectively the finest example I've found of the Southwestern style of square dance music, characterized by slower-than-Appalachian-or-Coloradan tempos, punchy guitar rhythm, and bouncy, almost dotted-note fiddling. Compare "Soldier's Joy" with the same tune as played by Floyd Woodhull's group from New York state. They're both excellent, but in very different ways.
"Raggin Up Annie" is a gem. It has to be heard more than once to appreciate the fiddling. This is a prime contender for my favorite recording of my favorite tune - at least, my favorite recording of those intended for dancing. The finest of all Ragtime Annies is probably Byron Berline's on his album "Dad's Favorites," coincidentally also played in Southwestern style. A 30-second sample is here.
Note: The Lloyd Shaw Foundation has the entire Dash records output (with Schroeder's Playboys) available on five CDs. Walter Noble (fiddle), John Schroeder (guitar), Tony Cordasco (bass)
The dance, written in 1953, is published in Ted's book, "Balance and Swing". Viewers can find other video recordings of this dance here and here.]]>
Tony Parkes calls Ted Sannella's square dance, Do-si-do and Face the Sides, at the Dare To Be Square weekend held November 18-20, 2011, at the John C. Campbell Folk School, Brasstown, NC. The tune is "Ragtime Annie," which Tony said is his favorite square dance tune. Musicians are Steve Hickman and Jim Morrison, fiddles; Claudio Buchwald, piano; Sam Bartlett, banjo.
The dance, written in 1953, is published in Ted's book, "Balance and Swing". Viewers can find other video recordings of this dance here and here.

analysisBy Eugène Bakama Bope
With the trial slated to start in mere weeks, those following Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto's case before the International Criminal Court anxiously await a crucial decision from the Appeals Chamber concerning his continuous presence at trial.
On June 18, 2013, Trial Chamber V (a) deviated from necessary legal standards by granting Ruto conditional excusal from continuous presence at his trial in The Hague so that he can attend to duties of state - a decision that "authorizes Mr Ruto's absence for substantially all of his trial."
On August 20th, the Appeals Chamber suspended Ruto's excusal until the panel of judges issues their final decision on the matter, thus ordering his presence at trial commencing on September 10th.
The Trial Chamber's decision to excuse Ruto from trial violates both the original meaning and underlying intent of the Rome Statute, and also runs counter to the principles of justice for both victims and the accused.
Because of this, and in the interest of justice, the Appeals Chamber should overturn the Trial Chamber's decision and Ruto should be obligated to appear for the entirety of his trial to face the court and the evidence presented against him.
Excusing Ruto from trial at the ICC expressly violates several notable provisions of the Rome Statute, and contradicts the Statute's historical context.
Article 63(1) of the Rome Statute clearly articulates, "the accused shall be present during the trial," indicating a positive obligation of physical presence at trial proceedings, not an option to be considered or merely waived. It is well settled that the word shall within the legal context implies both duty and requirement, further bolstering the clarity of Article 63(1) and the explicit "language of command" as to the accused's presence at trial.
The Rome Statute's historical record indicates that the drafters outright excluded all proposed exceptions to the accused's presence at trial, including the notion of trials in abstentia. The only two scenarios the drafters of the Rome Statute opted to allow for the accused to deviate from obligatory presence before the Court is, 1) when the accused is considerably disruptive, or 2) an accused opts to waive their right to be present during the pretrial proceedings.
Article 27 demands that the Rome Statute be applied "equally to all persons without any distinction based on official capacity." As such, it is erroneous to excuse Ruto because of his newly assumed position.
While the important role of Kenya's Deputy President is not in dispute, the Rome Statute and the ICC were established precisely to combat impunity and render justice to those in positions of authority.
Ruto's excusal also jeopardizes the interests of the victims of Kenya's 2007-08 post-election violence, who have been waiting for more than five years for meaningful justice.
Most victims - and a majority of Kenyans for that matter - still view the ICC as the most appropriate venue to prosecute those responsible for post-election violence crimes. To rob victims of the opportunity to witness the accused on trial could have a detrimental effect on the victims' trust in the truth seeking process and the ability of the court to ultimately hold the accused accountable.
Looking beyond the ICC's legal framework, the fundamental right and obligation of an accused person to attend trial is enshrined in Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, alongside a variety of other crucial provisions dealing with due process and fair trial rights.
Countless national legal frameworks - Kenya's included - domesticate these underlying principles from the ICCPR. Article 50 of Kenya's constitution notes that an accused has the right "to be present when being tried."
It is worth noting that there are very limited circumstances for which some jurisdictions allow the accused to not be present at trial, namely: when there exists an unencumbered right to retrial; when a defendant abuses their right to be present through consistent disruptive behavior and is removed from the courtroom in order to ensure the trial is expeditiously fair; or, in very limited occasions when the accused unequivocally and voluntarily waives their right to be present, which is often only permitted at the ad hoc international tribunals when restricted by limiting circumstances and for fixed time frames.
International criminal law expert, Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni reflected on the interrelated complexities of presence at trial with other fair trial rights, noting that an accused's presence at trial embodies "an important element of the right to defend oneself against criminal charges ... [and relates to] the assumption that the ability of the accused to face ... judge[s] and accusers adds a dimension of credibility to the proceedings and enhances the ascertainment of the truth."
Similar to the ICC, most international and national jurisdictions reject trials in abstentia because they are inherently unfair due to the impossibility of effective participation by the defendant in both their trial and the delivery of an adequate defense.
Therefore, to ensure fair trials and to uphold the principles of justice, it is imperative that those accused of both ordinary and international crimes are present at trial. Deputy President William Ruto should not be an exception to this rule.

Truth or Prejudice: When do a professor's in-class comments cross the line into improper advocacy?
Have you ever had a professor or teacher express his or her personal opinion on a controversial political, religious, or moral issue in class? Was it proper for them to do so?
Some hold that professors and teachers should be free to express their opinions, that it is disingenuous for them to teach "balance" when they believe a particular viewpoint is more convincing, and that doing so deprives students of important information about the topic. Others believe that because of the authoritative role professors play in the classroom, such revelation of personal opinion can intimidate disagreeing students, stifle the exchange of ideas among students, and undermine a central educational aim of helping students develop the skills necessary to intelligently reach their own conclusions on controversial topics.
When do a professor's in-class comments on political, religious, and social issues cross a line into improper advocacy?
- Reading of suggested materials below
- General understanding of the major issues in question:
- Ways professors can advocate for positions in the classroom
- Claims by students of liberal or conservative bias shown by professors
- Educational goals and effective teaching
Most of these are short and intended to give the reader an introduction to the problem.
- Should professors share or advocate their views in the classroom? In Socrates' Wake (August 4, 2007)
- Professors deviating from lessons to express personal, political views not worth tuition by Jenelle Gewell, The All State (October 27, 2010)
- Kenneth Howell Firing Reviewed By University Of Illinois Faculty: Lecturer Fired For Saying Homosexual Acts Are 'Morally Wrong, Huffington Post (September 20, 2010)
- Social Scientist Sees Bias Within by John Tierney, New York Times (February 7, 2011)
- Why An Academic Bill of Rights Is Necessary by David Horowitz, FrontPageMagazine.com (March 15, 2005)
- Eco-Fascism in the classroom by ClimateScam (November 19, 2010) [VIDEO]
Do: Ask students to think about and discuss the following questions:
- In what ways can professors disclose their personal and/or professional opinions in class on controversial political, religious, or moral issues?
- What does it mean to expect professors to teach all views equally?
- Are there some moral, political, or religious issues that can not be taught well from a neutral perspective?
- What has been your personal experience of the way controversial topics were taught in the classroom?
- Should professors state which views or arguments they personally find most compelling?
- Does knowing the professor's opinion make a student feel that she needs to agree with the professor to receive a better grade?
- Does the nature of the academic institution (e.g. public/private, religious/secular, etc.) make a difference on what opinions professors should or should not express?

Hawk Rescue Ride
First of all, you have to understand
that I'm a critter person. I'll stop for damn near anything that's injured on
the side of the road. I've rescued everything from turtles to fawns (although
two weeks after the fawn rescue another deer wiped me out on my Honda, that's
the thanks I got!) and so on. One morning, I found an injured hawk in my
driveway. My guess was that he had hit the power line that runs overhead near my
house. It was just a tiny hawk. I thought it might be a baby redtail hawk,
since we have so many in this area. Beautiful animals. I love watching them soar

Return to "The Pregnancy Partners: Blokes, Babies and You"
by Sam Holt
Trimester 3 and we are into the playoffs! It's business time. As you start to burst at the seams, he may be finally coming out of denial. The pregnancy is pretty real now and his worries will start to turn toward you and the baby.
Health: Yours and the baby
The Being Dad DVD's and child birth classes will help him understand that birth isn't a medical emergency. By keeping fit and eating well you will also increase your chance of having a healthy pregnancy. Talk through the birth plan together, agree on how you'd like to have the baby and make sure he understands what will happen during labor and birth. You can download our labor and birth e-book (it's free) at Being Dad.
How he will cope at the birth?
What role would you like him to play and what is he comfortable playing?
Is the baby his?
I'm not joking on this one. One research report indicated that over 50% of men give serious consideration as to whether there is a chance that the baby isn't theirs, regardless of whether there is a genuine reason or not. Chances are he won't mention it but he may well think about it even if it's just for a few moments.
About the authors: Troy Jones: Troy's company produced the Being Dad series and he has traveled the globe interviewing hundreds of new dads and experts. As a result we like to think of him as a "well renowned global guru in all things Being Dad;" sounds impressive anyway. Troy has a beautiful daughter Matilda, who appears in the Being Dad series.
Sam Holt: Best known for coming up with a new idea every five minutes it's little wonder that Being Dad was, in fact, his idea. Fortunately, Being Dad was one of Sam's better ideas and with the help of Troy and Tom it has grown way beyond all of their expectations. Sam has a son, Hugo, who is too cute to be his.
Tom Hastwell: Lured out of the corporate world by Sam and Troy, Tom has been bitten by the business bug. Troy and Sam are eagerly awaiting news that Toms wife is pregnant so that they can attach a camera crew to him for nine months and actually put him to work. Tom is currently practicing for kids.

Finest Certified 1873 Closed 3 Quarter, MS631873 25C Closed 3 MS63 NGC. The Philadelphia quarters of 1873 come in three separate variants: the 1873 Closed 3, the 1873 Open 3, and the 1873 With Arrows. Of these three varieties, the last has the highest mintage, with over a million pieces struck, and the 1873 Open 3, though it has a mintage of only 172,000 coins, is one of the most available Motto quarters issues in Mint State. The 1873 Closed 3 version, however, is highly elusive, with a total production of just 40,000 business strikes, and most survivors show some degree of wear. NGC and PCGS have certified just 20 examples and those few pieces range from Very Fine to Mint State.
Ex: Boosel, Bass
Ex: Boosel, Bass
Though the 1873 Closed 3 remains an underrated issue in most grades, collectors are aware of how elusive this issue is in mint condition. NGC and PCGS have certified a mere five Mint State representatives between them, and the MS63 coin offered here is the single finest at either services (3/09). Crisply defined on the design elements, and both sides offer strong, shining luster. The obverse displays violet-inflected iridescence, while the reverse is essentially brilliant. A scattering of fine obverse marks precludes a finer designation.
Ex: Harry Bass, Jr. Collection, Part I (Bowers and Merena, 5/1999), lot 2010 (Bowers and Merena catalogers report this coin is pedigreed to the Harry X Boosel "1873" Collection, RARCOA, 4/1972, lot 601, unplated).(Registry values: P4) (NGC ID# 23UU, PCGS# 5484)

Hampshire student Edward Woollard, 18, has been jailed for 32 months after being convicted of violent disorder during student protests in London on 10 November.
Mr Woollard confessed to throwing a fire extinguisher off the seventh floor of the Conservative Party's Milbank building, narrowly missing a line of riot police standing below. Police say he could have caused "catastrophic injury".
Mr Woollard claims he acted in a "moment of madness", aiming for the gap in police officers, and that he never intended to cause injury. The sixth form student at Brockenhurst College gave himself up to police after Sky News broadcast a CCTV image of him.
He was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison and will serve at least half of his sentence in custody at a Young Offenders' Institution. Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC told the defendant: "It is deeply regrettable, indeed a shocking thing, for a court to have sentenced a young man such as you to a substantial term of custody, but the courts have a duty to provide the community with such protection from violence as they can."
The sentence has been criticised by many as excessive, amid accusations of political retaliation from the student community. Paul Cotterill, an ex-magistrate and writer of the blog 'Though Cowards Flinch', noted that there were certain mitigating factors, such as Mr Woollard's young age, the fact that he confessed at the earliest opportunity and has no previous record that should have seen his sentence significantly reduced.
Speaking to The Journal, Mr Cotterill said: "Mr Woollard's specific act was reckless and not helpful to the cause at the time. Perversely, though, the relative harshness of the sentence may increase the level of protest."
Two students have also been arrested in Edinburgh following the protests outside Holyrood on 30 November. Protestors marched down the Royal Mile before launching a sit-in at Edinburgh University's Appleton Tower. After being arrested, the students were reported to the procurator fiscal after throwing snowballs at police while trying to gain access to the Dynamic Earth building.
Michael Shaw, a spokesman for the University of Edinburgh Anti-Cuts Coalition, which organised the sit-in, told The Journal: "The students were charged with assault but it is a waste of police time as the charges will probably be dropped."

Gargoyles are an architectural feature designed to throw rainwater clear of the walls of a building. Widely used on medieval churches, these water spouts were often richly decorated, and fashioned as serpents' heads and other fanciful shapes. Today, the term gargoyle is also popularly applied to any carved decorative head or creature high up on a building and this book is an exploration of all of these enchanting features. Written by an academic and stonecarver, it is the perfect introduction to this fascinating subject.Gargoyles aims to provide a concise introduction to the stone carvings often found on religious and secular buildings in Britain from the medieval period to the modern. It will explore the typical imagery, some of the theories put forward to explain them, as well as consider the carvings within their architectural and social contexts. Incorporating recent and current research, the book will nevertheless be accessible to the general reader.

Micro Bomb
From the Super Mario Wiki
Micro Bombs are subspecies of Bob-ombs and are very small. They are thrown by Punchinello in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They are the first to be thrown, and the weakest, but they can still be a problem if they are left alone. Soon after they are defeated, more are thrown, but when Punchinello loses enough HP, they stop being thrown and are replaced by regular Bob-ombs.

A suggestion was made in the 7/13 WDN meeting by Jill Hochstein, with subsequent group discussion, regarding adding a default font in the stylesheet body style, for those fonts not explicitly styled in a document based on UNL templates.
Stylesheets were tested yesterday with the default of 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif,' and went live today. We've looked at several pages that had unstyled text before, and that text (rendered in Times Roman in most if not all browsers) is now displayed in Arial.
Please discuss here if anyone has any issues.

Can a computer help you climb a rock face? Perttu Hämäläinen of Aalto University in Finland thinks so.
Hämäläinen is interested in using augmented reality in sports, particularly ones in which fluid body movement is key, such as contemporary dance, trampoline, martial arts and rock climbing.
In a system that he developed with his colleague Raine Kajastila, a projector, a depth-sensing camera and computer software combine to track the movement of rock climbers on a training wall, and provide feedback and suggestions in real time.
Training walls, found in many gyms around the world, are covered in arrays of differently shaped and textured holds. Typically, climbers will set routes of varying difficulty by colour-coding the holds. Kajastila and Hämäläinen's system projects routes onto the wall as a glowing line, and tracks the movement of climbers as they follow it, suggesting the next move as they go.
Watch and learn
The tracking system means routes can be set as a climber moves across the wall and stored to be projected later, and climbers can review their movements to see what they did wrong or right. Friends on the ground can guide climbers on the wall by modifying the projected line.
The team has also added a game feature, with a massive chainsaw projected onto the wall, which climbers need to avoid.
Javi Sánchez, a climbing instructor at Espacio Acción in Madrid, Spain, and director of Onsight Boulder Holds, based in Madrid, is impressed. He says the feedback system should help climbers resolve sequences faster because any mistakes a climber makes can be immediately corrected. "This is of great importance as it allows climbers to evaluate their own movements more efficiently," says Sánchez.
Kajastila says the team is working to get a prototype up and running in a real gym this autumn.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A commercial cargo ship rocketed into orbit Sunday in pursuit of the International Space Station, the first of a dozen supply runs under a mega-contract with NASA.
It was the second launch of a Dragon capsule to the orbiting lab by the California-based SpaceX company. The first was last spring.
This time was no test flight, however, and the spacecraft carried 1,000 pounds of key science experiments and other precious gear on this truly operational mission. There was also a personal touch: chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream tucked in a freezer for the three station residents.
The company's unmanned Falcon rocket roared into the night sky right on time, putting SpaceX on track to reach the space station Wednesday. The complex was soaring southwest of Tasmania when the Falcon took flight.
Officials declared the launch a success, despite a problem with one of the nine first-stage engines. The rocket put Dragon in its intended orbit, said the billionaire founder and chief executive officer of SpaceX, Elon Musk.
"It's driving its way to station, so that's just awesome," noted SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell.
In more good news, a piece of space junk was no longer threatening the station, and NASA could focus entirely on the delivery mission.
NASA is counting on private business to restock the space station, now that the shuttles have retired to museums. The space agency has a $1.6 billion contract with SpaceX for 12 resupply missions.
Especially exciting for NASA is the fact that the Dragon will return twice as much cargo as it took up, including a stockpile of astronauts' blood and urine samples. The samples — nearly 500 of them — have been stashed in freezers since Atlantis made the last shuttle flight in July 2011.
The Dragon will spend close to three weeks at the space station before being released and parachuting into the Pacific at the end of October. By then, the space station should be back up to a full crew of six.
None of the Russian, European or Japanese cargo ships can bring anything back; they're destroyed during re-entry. The Russian Soyuz crew capsules have limited room for anything besides people.

I used this sample sparingly...got it over a year ago and still have some left. Im sure its expired by now but it still works. I get breakouts rarely even for having oily/combination skin but when I do get the occasional zit, my evening cleansing routine starts with the nightly face wash...then I clean the affected area with peroxide and dab a little of this stuff on there. The next morning the little bugger has all but disappeared. There are probably a ton of chemicals in here which is why it works so well...and also why I use only on an emergency basis.5
I originally received this as a sample in my Birchbox and loved it then. It worked really well and I tried to make the little sample tube last as long as I could since I thought the full-size product was too expensive. Once I ran out, I knew I needed to buy more- it works THAT well on my skin! Just a light layer will do. I typically put it on after washing my face at night and in the morning. It doesn't immediately erase any breakouts, but does significantly decrease them in size and appearance. I think this product works best in conjunction with whatever skin care/acne product you already use. I can already tell that the full-size product will last me a long time, so it is well worth the money.5
