Great Plains Studies, Center for
Date of this Version
Published in Great Plains Quarterly 12:2 (Spring 1992). Copyright © 1992 Center for Great Plains Studies, University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
Cather Studies is a new biennial series intended to display the quality and diversity of current scholarship on Cather. This first volume showcases papers presented at the Third National Seminar on Willa Cather (1987). Future volumes no doubt will continue to incorporate essays from these educational events and address, as they do, a broad audience. Contributors to this volume include teachers from all levels of the educational system (high school, junior college, four-year professional and liberal arts colleges, and state and research universities) and all parts of the United States (both coasts, the South, the Northeast, the Midwest, and the West) and Canada.

vengence is a feeling for revenge, revenge is the act.
They are the same, except, vengeance is something you feel and revenge is the plot you employ to get your vengeance.
They are extremely similar...I would have to say revenge involves injury and/or avenging with equal degree to the offense (Such as somebody steals your bike so you steal theirs). Vengeance is more like punishment in retaliation of an injury and/or offense. Plus I have always considered vengeance to be the extreme of the two...(Such as someone beats you up and you respond by killing them)...
some carry both within for life, to life and by life... never seen, so very discretely and discreetly as we watched in movies, they could be within circles, unsuspected... a loathe for planned attack just as the predators do in almost all movies...... that very ideology is predatory.... why 14, what the f U King 25, when you cannot wage a war now!

LONDON (Dec. 20)
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress, addressed himself today to the problem of Jewish survival in a world in which the power and influence of the West is on the decline, the influence of the East–the Communist bloc–is ascendant and in which the Third World forces represented by developing nations of Africa and Asia may prove decisive. Dr. Goldmann spoke before the Board of Deputies of British Jews and guests who gave him a standing ovation at the conclusion of his remarks.
Dr. Goldmann stated that planning for the future can only be effective if there is international Jewish cooperation and diaspora-Israel cooperation in such planning. There is no time to lose, he warned. "Some three million Jews live in the Soviet Union. It would be an untenable proposition that we should give up the fight for the rights of Soviet Jews to live as Jews."
Continuing, he observed: "Protests alone–and sometimes it is necessary to protest–will not do it. We must plan ahead, and one day we may yet talk to the Soviet leaders, together with Soviet Jews as to how Jewish rights could be safeguarded within the Soviet Union."
Dr. Goldmann noted that there was no Jewish problem within the Third World but that those nations know little or nothing about Jews, past and present. At the same time, they are a decisive power in the United Nations whose future may yet be more effective than its past and present. "We must establish contacts with them and enlighten them as to what we are and what we represent as a Jewish people." Dr. Goldmann said.
Finally, he referred to the deterioration of Jewish prospects in Latin America. "Latin America hovers between the West and the Third (World) force. It is a continent in turmoil and revolution. There is some anti-Semitism there, but this is not the main danger to Jews," the WJCongress leader said. "The main danger is inherent in the revolutionary situation within Latin American society. We can learn something from Cuba. Castro is friendly to Israel and Jews. But a community of ten thousand souls has been ruined because it did not fit into the new pattern," he said.

What the 2012 Presidential Campaign Can Teach You About Social Media.
This year's presidential campaign gives us a huge opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of social media in all it's iterations. One candidate embraced it and one dabbled in it. To get an overview, read Social and Anti-Social Media by Richard Parker in yesterday's New York Times.
This analysis has particular importance to organizations like chambers of commerce and business assistance groups.
It also has much to say to small local business owners in small towns who are clinging to traditional media marketing, hoping that things will get back to normal soon.
Forget your party affiliation. This is about business
Parker points out the enormous difference between the Romney and Obama approach to marketing.
Remember, campaigning is just another word for marketing.
Romney and his financial supporters threw most of their vast resources at television, traditional media. This is where their base (customers) spends its time. And it worked well with that base. But their dabbling in all other forms of social media, where everyone else spends time couldn't make up the difference and bring Romney a victory.
Obama, on the other hand, was everywhere. His team managed targeted, effective campaigns on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, the hangouts of young people, Asian Americans, Hispanics and women. They used email – supporters received something from the Obama campaign nearly every day for months. They used texting, keeping volunteers focused even after polls were closed and voters in long lines needed to be encouraged to stay and vote. They still relied on television advertising, but ads were highly targeted. And they advertised all over the internet.
It worked. The Obama campaign (marketing) strategy was completely successful according to post election analysis. Every demographic they targeted, they won. And they skimmed enough of the Romney campaign demographic to land a resounding victory.
What can your organization or business learn from the 2012 Presidential Campaign.
1. Know your customer including everything about the media he or she says makes his or her life better.
In the past, when you had one small town newspaper, a local radio station and three television networks with local affiliates, it was easy to reach your customer. You knew where they went for news and entertainment. You could toss something in the newspaper and go with the cheapest television or radio option and you'd reach all the customers you needed.
If you're a little confused and angry about how much work marketing takes right now, with all the media options available and all the analysis it takes to figure out how to be where your customer is searching, remember that you're not alone.
Think about how angry those big Romney investors are feeling, after pouring millions into an ineffective campaign. If the biggest marketing wonks in the country could get it so wrong, no wonder you're having such a time of it!
Luckily, as I've pointed out in past posts, you don't need a large variety of millions of customers to be successful. You only need a few hundred or a few thousand customers, and they're surprisingly similar in their needs and wants that you can serve. They're your Perfect Customers! Read more here: Small Town Tourism Marketing: What Wild Elephants Can Teach Us
2. Know how to use the social media option you choose.
Too many businesses figure that if they toss up a Facebook business page and post a few nice words or pictures, their social media work is done. It is not.
After you've done the work of discovering what social media your customer is using, it's vital to learn how they use it. What makes them return to that social media channel again and again?
Again, we can learn from the campaigns. Remember, this isn't about the political message, it's about effective use of social media to get the message across.
First, going back to the Parker article, there is a good analysis of the difference between how the two campaigns used Facebook. Go to Facebook and look at the Obama Facebook page and the Romney Facebook page. The differences are subtle but dramatic in their effectiveness.
The Romney campaign posted nice information about Romney and used much of their Facebook real estate to ask for donations and action. Similar to the way I see too many small business owners use Facebook.
The Obama campaign showed a deep understanding of how and why people use Facebook – to share and communicate with friends, to hear and to tell stories.
Obama's Facebook team created community with supporters, giving them stories to share with their own group of friends. Their efforts lead to action – volunteer, donate, vote, but the calls to action on the Facebook page were well disbursed.
Both campaigns included links in most of their posts. Click a few of those links to see where they landed you. Were they varied? Did they add value and content to the story? Did they effectively ask you to take action? Did they act as an encouragement or discouragement to follow links in future posts?
One campaign lost the Facebook option and the other won. And whether you are a Dem or Republican, there is much you can learn from this. Running an effective Facebook campaign is simple, but it isn't easy – I've talked about this distinction in the past: Does "Simple and Doable" Mean Internet Marketing is Easy?
3. Don't put all your eggs into one marketing option basket.
Brian Solis at Altimeter Group talks about social media as disruptive technology. He stresses that while it is allowing us to come together in ways never possible before, it is also disrupting the traditional forms of intercommunication.
With so many options, you can't mindlessly assume that posting an ad somewhere will reach your customer. Romney was banking on television. He paid lip service to social media channels, assuming that traditional marketing techniques would translate to social media and it doesn't.
The Obama campaign had done its homework. They knew who they needed to reach to put together a winning strategy. They knew where those people went to socialize, get information and share. They knew how to micro-target, using each of those channels to move their prospective customer.
They were everywhere their customer was. For you this is a whole lot simpler than for a nationwide political campaign. But you still must keep up with changes in where your customer is going to consume content and share information.
Your are fortunate in that you talk to your customers everyday. Being where your customer is searching doesn't require focus groups and polls, it just requires a quick question while you are serving them. "Which review site to you find most useful?" "Are you on Facebook? Twitter?" "Do you like to receive email newsletters?"
Yesterday I wrote about tracking changes in your customer base over at Take Control of Your Internet Marketing. Your Customer Base Will Change, Are You Ready? Keeping your eye on the future is important. If you are following news anywhere since the election you've been hearing commentators warn the Republican Party about this
Resources for running effective social media campaigns.
For chambers, service organizations and business development associations I came across a wonderful resource by Appalshop, an Appalachian based arts and education organization. This downloadable pdf, Appalshop Innoation Lab Guide , is a marvelous resource for revolutionizing your use of social media channels to tell your story and share with your clients and communities. They share it under the Creative Commons license, so use it and be sure to give them credit.
And, I will end with a pitch for Take Control of Your Internet Marketing. It's tough for you business owners to fulfill your mission and keep up with the world of internet marketing and social media. We can help you – that's our mission. So, if you are a business, become a member and if you are an organization, we'd like to be your internet marketing partner.

How to file for a divorce is a question that many people would not want to ask themselves. The moment you get into marriage, you don't at any point think that it will fall apart. You don't start it by thinking what if you end up in a divorce. However, when the time comes, the question comes to play. You are going to ask yourself that question because you don't have any idea about filling a divorce.
For a start, it is important to note that the process of filling for a divorce will be a little different for each case. At the same time, some universal laws are applicable regardless of the area you are filling the case in.
Steps that one follows in filling for a divorce
Verify eligibility
The first thing that you should do is to check your eligibility to file the divorce. What this means, is that to secure a legal and binding termination of the marriage, you must satisfy the requirements of the state that you reside in. To achieve this, you should have the ability to prove that either you or your spouse has been a resident of that particular state for at least six months before the filing.
Determining ground for divorce
At this particular stage, you are required in the divorce petition to state your grounds for the petition. This is simply stating the grounds or reasons that occasioned the filling. The reasons can range from felony, dissertation, abandonment, adultery, bigamy separation and even insanity.
Arrange paperwork
Before you file, make sure to arrange all the necessary paperwork, these can include professional, personal and business documents. Be sure to make a comprehensive list of all joint ownership of assets, income accumulated with spouse and property also. Collect the contracts and deeds of all this assets plus proof and accounts for joint debts.
Filing divorce papers
How to file for divorce with kids is a question everyone is asking themselves. However, it is easy with the technology to acquire all the divorce paper online for download. Be careful to fill and satisfy all of the requirements on these forms. These can range from some issues, for example, child custody and support request rights to property or alimony.
After the forms are filled, they can be filled with the concerned court or with the county clerk. Here the form undergoes verification, they are officially signed and stamped by the office. You must, therefore, serve them to your spouse through the court or you can use a private process server. This particular step of serving the papers to your spouse provides them with an official warning of the upcoming legal action.
Grace period
On reception of the served papers, the spouse now has the petition for separation. They are given a grace period of 30 days to respond to the official request. If they are in agreement with your request your divorce will be conducted with the court of your district of residence.
When you are done with the entire process, you will both sit down and sign the divorce winding up papers to make the process legally binding.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by titansfan89, Sep 9, 2012.
I was not about to put my moolah on this game.
I just had no idea how it was going to shake out.
I put some on CJ going under 60.....I had no idea that it would be like that, and some up to 80.
I figured Locker would have a pretty high amount of yards, too bad he got taken out.
and I figured the Pats would win over 6. Nothing too risky.
Oh he has room to improve. Anyone who says he doesn't is ignorant.
But his accuracy was a real surprise to me today. There were some balls that sailed as there were some drops. Trust me, I'll take 71% completion every day from Locker.
When did I say he was great? He looked really good and he can always improve. I think Locker would be the first person to tell you he made mistakes and he still has to get better
You need to reverse that, washington got him injured.
I think Jake played great today. First career start, vs. Belichick, against a very good run defense, he played great. The INT was a bang, bang play single coverage could have gone either way, for instance the Russel Wilson pass vs. Tommie Campbell.
The TD pass was one of the prettiest passes I've ever seen. He had a couple drops which always seems to happen to him. Still a bit high on a couple of throws across the middle which is bothersome. Part of me thinks he's putting more air under the ball when he throws across the middle due to the fact that he's suffered from a ton of batted down passes at the LoS this preseason.
that TD pass was one of the scariest passes i've ever seen.... i seriously thought he just threw it up since he was about to get sacked... but Washington was there
I didnt say you did. Im referring to the OP, and others who say he played great. I posted a couple of the reasons why and thats what you replied to.
Over all Jake played well. Hope he's ready to go next Sunday
Lockers fumble sucked, but not as bad as CJ's rush for -5 yards the play before when you are on the 10...

Background: There is an increasing interest to find specific prognostic markers of the aggressive behaviour of some pituitary adenomas (PA). The most studied markers have been the immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67 and p53. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relevance as possible prognostic markers of growth factors (IGF1R), angiogenic factors (VEGF and his receptor) and new genes (PTTG) versus the immunohistochemical expression of Ki-67 and p53 in PA.
Design: In this retrospective descriptive study, we analyzed 56 human PA samples: 32 gonadotrophic (GT), 6 corticotrophic (CT), 6 somatotrophic (ST), 4 lactotrophic (LT), 1 thyrotrophic (TT), 1 null-cell and 6 GH-PRL-secreting adenomas (GLT), based on OMS 2004 classification. We evaluated the VEGF, VEGFR, PTTG and IGF1R mRNA expression by quantitative real-time PCR using Taqman technology and TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (Applied Biosystems). Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed in whole sections for ER (cut-off 10%), Ki-67 and p53 (cut-off 20%). In addition we revised the extension in magnetic resonance imaging of 17 patients. The Student t-test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: We observed than the histology subtype GT had the highest expression of VEGF (P=0.007), VEGFR (P=0.011) and IGF1R (P=0.003) while CT had the lowest expression of these genes (P=0.021, P=0.004 and P=0.026 respectively). The expression of PTTG was decreased in the TT adenoma respect the above of the other subtypes (P=0.045). Overexpression of p53 was positively correlated with the level of VEGF and VEGFR expression (P=0.001 and P=0.02). The tumors with diffuse extension shown association with more IGF1R expression (P=0.003) but there was no correlation with Ki-67, p53 or ER status.
Conclusions: Our preliminary findings suggest that these genes behave differently depending on the histological subtype and that some of them could report more information about the behaviour of PA than the expression for Ki-67 or p53.

COLORADO SPRINGS – — The local homebuilding company Todays Homes laid off all of its local employees Friday, leaving the fate of three oversized townhomes the company had pledged to move up in the air, along with dozens of other properties.
Scott Vaughan, who had been the sales manager for Todays Homes, said he didn't know what would happen to the company's properties and that it would be up to Todays Homes' parent company, Unity Builders Group of Calgary, Canada, to work with the city and homeowners on unfinished projects.
"I'm assuming they would be the ones that would contact the homeowners," Vaughan said. "I have not heard a thing."
Reached in his office Sunday, Unity Builders Group President and CEO Tom Chisolm hung up on a reporter without answering questions.
It was unclear how many employees were affected by the layoffs. No one was answering phones at the company's local sales offices. Todays Homes offered single family homes and townhouses in six neighborhoods around Colorado Springs, according to the company's website.

Once you are sure about your pregnancy, the first and important thing you need to do is to choose the best Obstetrician and the Gynecologist. If this is your first pregnancy, then you will be totally confused on whether to stick on with your old family doctor or to find the best OBGYN in the city. It can even be through referrals from your friends and family. By choosing the best OGYN and sticking on with the instructions given by him/her you are certain of a healthy pregnancy for the whole 9 months. Also you can ask for certain referrals from experienced mothers in order to rate the service of certain OGYN which will help you in finding the best doctor in the city. If you are from the capital city of Phoenix, I would recommend you to consider OBGYN phoenix. The following are some tips on how to choose the best OBGYN.
The very first point to have in mind is you must choose the one who has been certified through the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists (ACOG). Usually hospitals will take care of the verification process of the doctors. In case of not doing so, it may cause a major problem.
Choosing the OBGYN in your area or locality usually costs lesser than to choose the ones from far away. Also they will be covered in your insurance and save you huge money which is the most important deciding factor for pregnant women. Also you can get the list of doctors who are covered by your insurance providers.
In some situations you may prefer to choose the OBGYN about whom you have heard about his/her good treatment in your community, but still that particular doctor can be not a part of your plan. You can still enjoy his treatment by choosing Point of Service (POS). This is a new option that allows you to get treated with the doctors of your wish but the drawback is that you might be forced to pay higher medical expenses compared to the one that is included in your plan.
In case of your insurance company not providing POS plan to continue your service with the OBGYN of your choice, you can still get the treatment with him/her. The important task here is that you can ask for price discounts and enjoy the service. Also it is important to see your medical expenses covered under your insurance schemes.
One of the common and effective ways to choose the best OBGYN is via word of mouth. This includes referrals through colleagues, friends or relatives. This method proves to be credible and helpful as you are choosing a doctor whom a trusted person has already worked with. The option means on a trust basis that if the person whom you trust has experienced good service there then obviously you too will experience the same.
There are some women who choose doctors based on the medical providers' reference. But this may have its own pros and cons that depend on the particular OBGYN's knowledge and experience and the particular insurance plan in which he is covered.
- Another most powerful and often implemented method is to trust your instincts. In such case, without any prior plan you just go and visit an OBGYN. If you find them friendly, treats you well and comfortable enough you get your doubts clarified then you can get you treatment from them. It is a technique that has been proved to work often.

Purchase: "Trap Simmons" from iTunes
Raised in Jamaica Queens, New York, Focus The Truth recently spent two years recording/producing tracks and music videos in London, UK. His work is his play-spending his days and nights writing and performing music and watching music videos. The new generation of hip hop, at least for Focus, has produced a well-rounded intellectual who doesn't just ride the conscious tip, contrary to what people may believe. At the end of the day, his poetic and technical rap just relays the truth.
Focus's latest 17-song LP, "Berwick Road", has created a major buzz among the hip-hop heads and music community. "Berwick Road" explores tales of London life and New York memories, nestled alongside odes to the odd night of excess.
With this as a blueprint 'Trap Simmons' sees the young MC challenge himself, using a double time flow as he spits social commentary fired by a night out in a club, exploring the male and female dating dynamic.

Weekly Jobless Claims from the U.S. Labor Department managed to break about a long streak of being back above 400,000. This week's reading came in 398,000 versus a 425,000 estimate by Bloomberg. This morning's report also shows that the prior week's reading was revised to 422,000 from 418,000.
The report appears to be the first sub-400,000 weekly claims since the beginning of April.
The four-week average was down 8,500 to 413,750. The army of unemployed measured by the continuing jobless claims, which has a one-week lag, fell by 17,000 to 3,703,000.
Another metric was the unemployment rate for workers with unemployment insurance also came down to 2.9% from 3.0%.
We will need to pay close attention to how these jobs numbers come out each week now that large corporations have started to announce layoff plans again this year. Still, at least we showed that we can finally get back under the 400,000 mark again (if they are not revised higher).

Goats brighten Spa dark day
On Tuesday without racing, other animals steal the show
Published 8:58 pm, Tuesday, August 7, 2012
Kathy Ritvo thought it would be fun to walk her goat over to Dominic Galluscio's barn so that her goat could meet his. She had no idea how it would go, but what's the worst that could happen?
It was Tuesday — no racing at Saratoga — and Ritvo, a trainer, had a light day. Her 12 horses were comfortable in their stalls, including Mucho Macho Man, one of the top horses in the country. Ritvo's preparing him to run Sept. 1 in the Woodward Stakes.
Her goat is named B.G. — initially for Baby Goat but now for Big Goat. Sometimes it's for Bad Goat when B.G. jumps on the picnic table outside her barn at the far turn of the main track, or rips a hole in people's lunch bags and digs in, or meanders into the office and knocks the condition books off the desk, or wanders into the feed room and opens the containers that hold the horse feed.
B.G. is the second goat that Ritvo has had around the barn. They have a calming effect on horses, and it's not uncommon to see them on the backstretch.
More Information
Saratoga almanac
Wednesday's feature: The Mandy's Gold, $100,000, 3-year-old fillies, 6½ furlongs.
Morning-line favorite: My Miss Aurelia, 2-5
Forecast: High of 89 degrees, mostly sunny, 20 percent chance of rain
Post time: 1 p.m.
Number of races: 10

Ritvo has had nervous horses, and the goats have helped. But now, she said, none of her horses pay much attention to B.G. Mucho Macho Man doesn't want anything to do with him. If B.G. gets too close, Mucho Macho Man bites him and sends him packing.
B.G. likes most everybody, four-legged or two. He runs with dogs and rubs up against Nick Petro, his main handler, Ritvo's nephew and her exercise rider.
"He just hangs around, really," Petro said of B.G. "He gets a little silly. He head butts you and stuff like that. He's pretty much a pet now."
Ritvo got B.G. about a year ago when he was a baby. Since then, she said, he hasn't been around another goat.
"This other goat is a year old, too," Ritvo said. "B.G. likes to play with the dogs. Maybe he'll play with a goat. We'll see."
Petro took B.G.'s leash, and along with Ritvo and her 19-year-old daughter, Dominique, headed off for Galluscio's barn. As they crossed Union Avenue, B.G. pulled hard on the leash. He didn't like the passing cars.
"That's not a dog, is it?" a security guard asked.
Ritvo laughed and looked at B.G.
"Isn't that amazing, though, that he walks on a leash?" she said. "It's really hard to keep a collar and a leash on a goat. They're so strong."
As they approached Galluscio's barn, she asked a worker: "Hey, how you doing? Where's Dominic? On the other side? ... We'll go down this way."
On the other side of the barn Galluscio's workers were walking horses around a ring. In the middle was Galluscio's goat. He'd named him Billy.
"It took a lot of thought to come up with that name," Galluscio said, laughing.
He'd been expecting Ritvo; she called earlier to ask whether she could drop by with her goat.
This also was Galluscio's second goat, and he, too, originally got a goat to help calm his horses. And, like B.G., Billy is now primarily a pet. He has two lovely curved horns.
"It's amazing," Galluscio said. "You tie him up here for one day, and then you turn him loose, and he never leaves. We're like his herd."
Billy wasn't tied now. As Petro led B.G closer, the goats eyed one another. B.G. tugged at the leash, and as Petro gave him slack, Billy backed up.
It was a slow dance of B.G. wanting to buddy up and Billy retreating. Still, the hair on Billy's back stood on edge, and he glared at B.G.
"I'm kind of wondering if he's going to beat the crap out of B.G.," Petro said.
But B.G. remained more aggressive.
"I actually expected him to be more intimidated, coming to somebody else's barn, not being at home," Ritvo said. "And he doesn't have horns. Maybe he doesn't know that."
A worker walked over and fed B.G. a cookie. Another stopped in front of Billy and waved a dollar. He likes to eat money, the man said; once he ate a $10 bill.
The goats didn't get close enough to sniff noses. Billy kept backing away, and Petro kept B.G. snug on the leash. After awhile they began losing interest. Billy turned his attention to Ritvo's daughter and started gently head butting her.
B.G. didn't like that. He grunted and chased Billy away.
"Did you see that?" Ritvo said. "He's protecting her. We are his people."
After that Billy truly had had enough. He turned his back and wandered away. B.G., on the leash, watched him go.
Ritvo said she might bring B.G. back another day. Maybe Billy would be more welcoming at a second meeting.
She led her group back to their barn. B.G. bounded along like Buoyant Goat.
He and Billy hadn't become friends — or enemies; their encounter had produced no winner or loser. But on a day when the horses didn't race, the goats had become a side show in the galloping spectacle that is Saratoga.

There are any number of reasons why an attack of George Romero-style zombies couldn't actually happen, from the dogs that would love to eat them some fresh bones to the fact that, well…dead things just don't fucking come back to life and start eating. That's what we call a "conceit."
So if a local TV station tells you that it's actually happening, as one in Great Falls, Montana did – don't believe them. It was almost certainly the work of hackers.
Unless that's just what the powers-that-be want you to think…

Phone: +41-22-730-8208 /84/54
The assessment 'Climate Change 2007: Mitigation of Climate Change' is designed to provide authoritative, timely information on all aspects of technologies and socio-economic policies, including cost-effective measures to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A thorough understanding of future GHG emissions and their drivers, available mitigation options, mitigation potentials and associated costs and ancillary benefits is especially important to support negotiations on future reductions in global emissions.
This chapter starts with a discussion of the key issues involved in Article 2 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and of the relationship of these to emission pathways and broad mitigation options. The sections that follow reflect on past and future GHG emission trends, highlight the institutional mechanisms in place for the implementation of climate change and sustainable development objectives, summarize changes from previous assessments and provides a concise roadmap to the 'Climate Change 2007: Mitigation of Climate Change' assessment.

Well, the goal for coexistence is mainly the server and the server-dependent tools (pg_dump, psql, etc.). There is no per-se requirement to have libpq versions to coexist. If libpq has different sonames in different releases, then they would end up in differently named packages anyway (at least in Debian). If they don't have different sonames, then we declare that they are compatible, so it should be OK to have only the latest version installed. That requires us to stay honest with the sonames, but it does not require us to increase the sonames unnecessarily. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

Why is it insulting? Because he named his dog after one of his hero's? I named by dog after a famous actress, is it insulting to her?My friend names his dog after Michael Jordan...is it insulting to him?
Also most blind and deaf animals are often put to sleep. Most dogs in general are put to sleep. Every major city in the United States puts down hundreds of dogs every week. There is no room for them. Its sad. I donot support it. However it is a cruel fact. Whats even more cruel is that sick, or deformed animals are more often to be put to sleep because they are either considered "undoptable", or they ae not adopted because of their deformity.
In San Francisco, where I live, dogs get 3 days...3 freaking days from the time they are brought into the pound to the time they are put to sleep. Luckliy the SPCA will take in many of the animals they deem adoptable (and will hold them for years until they are), but those who are not adopted after 3 days that are deemed "harder to place into home" by the SPCA, such has blind or deaf animals, and are put to sleep.
Yes, a deaf animal isn't put automatically to sleep because they are deaf. But if they are not adopted within the week...
...and most familes would adopt a helathy dog over one that needs added attention and medical care.
This man takes care of a deaf animal...he is a good person for doing so. He named it Hamill, which I think is inspirational.
You sir need to back up your claim, or else I actually recommend you banned for blatantly insulting a man for no reason.
Is this off-topic...yes, but I can't stand idlely by while another man bullys somebody for doing a good deed...such is what is wrong with the world, do something good, and you are attcked for it.
War animal activists and war Matt Hamill in his fight back!

I glad to see hamill back, I felt as if his retirement was forced; just seemed like he hit a wall in his training and just lost the desire for it. hopefully the time off was good and relight the fire

Roger Hollett has been trying to get in the UFC for years and I remember Dana being asked if he would sign Roger Hollett when he was undefeated or only had one loss and Dana said he never heard of him and wasn't on his radar. Honestly I think Hamill is going to run through him they just wanted another Canadian guy on the card.

EDIT- Sorry about the derail guys. It was for a good cause. WAR HAMILL! (and my dog)
I don't really need to add anything that hasn't been said. I will mention people don't want deaf dogs, and they are tough little buggers to train so most go to the pound, and no one picks them up there, so they just get put to sleep. Once you put in the effort, they can show you just as much love as a dog that can hear.
Thanks for sticking up for my in my absence guys. I think some people just need a little more sleep
By the way, we can call my dog all kinds of things - it's not like she can hear us

It's quarter to one out here in the UK and for some reason I thought that prophecy had written the not cool at all thing and I was thinking? That doesnt sound like prophecy at all, I'm a huge fan of prophecy, why'd he say that, that's not like him, then I saw the chill pill post by him and I was like
Why chill pill your own post
So I got up, had something to drink and was like that doesn't sound like prophecy at all
Then after some thinking and some shock and thinking I didn't really know who prophecy was anymore, some upset and reminicising of the old prophecy I came back to this thread
And found out that it wasn't prophecy who said it at all.........
I should lay off the beer...

BURNABY, BC, June 12, 2014 /CNW/ - After hitting a record number of votes this year, the British Columbia Automobile Association's (BCAA) fourth annual "Worst Roads" survey names the province's Top 10 'worst' roads. Three Okanagan roads top the list; with roads in Richmond, Surrey, Maple Ridge and Vancouver Island also taking spots in the Top 10.
Honoured with the dubious title of being the 'worst' road in the province is Silver Star Road near Vernon, followed by Westside Road near West Kelowna and Cosens Bay Road near Coldstream.
This year, concerned motorists, cyclists and pedestrians identified a record 1,277 separate stretches of road across the province that they feel are unsafe or difficult to navigate. Votes citing traffic congestion as an issue increased significantly.
New to this year's Top 10 "Worst Roads" list are McKenzie Avenue in Victoria for traffic congestion, and Maple Crescent, a residential street in Maple Ridge, for 'pedestrian/cycling safety' issues.
"Votes tripled this year. This says to me that British Columbians want a way to express their road frustrations and appreciate the opportunity to have their say," says Ken Cousin, BCAA's associate vice president of Road Assist. At the same time, Cousin is quick to point out that this survey is not about criticizing government. "It's about safety and helping people to raise awareness of problem roads. We all play a role in being safe on our roads. For drivers, pedestrians or cyclists, it's about being mindful, following the rules of the road and watching your behaviour."
In the coming weeks, BCAA will share the complete survey results with municipalities, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and other road authorities to encourage improvements.
Visit BCAA's website, bcaa.com/worstroads to see the 2014 Top 10 "Worst Roads" list and get tips on how to stay safe on the road when faced with issues such as dangerous potholes, traffic congestion or roads shared by motorists and cyclists.
Other highlights:
As determined by British Columbians in BCAA's "Worst Roads" survey, the top 10 'worst' roads are:
|Approximate geographical location
|Main problem cited (%)
|Silver Star Road
West of Greenway Road, about 16 km west of Vernon

What are some similarities and differences between the characters Hamlet, Laertes, and Fortinbras in Hamlet?
- print Print
- list Cite
All three men try to take revenge for fathers murdered, but each are delayed in doing so, and each regret the act after:
Fortinbras takes political action to avenge his father's death. Old Fortinbras was killed by Hamlet Sr., and Hamlet Sr. was already killed by Claudius, so Fortinbras decides to wage war on the entire state of Denmark. He tries to be a man of action, but he is called back by his uncle, the sick king of Norway. So, he wages war on Poland instead. In the end, when he reaches Denmark all are dead, and though his invasion is bloodless, he never really enacts personal revenge. He is the only avenger standing, a lonely enterprise.
Laertes tries to take quick and personal revenge for his father's murder, first on Claudius. Claudius advises that he wait and kill Hamlet during a rigged fencing match. After he is stabbed, he regrets his role as avenger because he has been used as a tool for Claudius' revenge. In the end, quick personal revenge causes one to be manipulated.
Hamlet is caught between revenge and mercy, mainly because of fear of damnation and problems with his mother. His father mandates revenge, though Hamlet is unprepared to do so. He delays revenge because of fear and supernatural misgivings: how to send Claudius to hell and his father and himself to heaven (is it even possible?). In the end, he enacts revenge on Claudius, but it comes after he is killed. He has lost everything: mother, girlfriend, and his own life.
In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Fortinbras and Laertes serve as foils to Hamlet. They present alternative ways of handling the same situation that Hamlet is in. They suffer the loss of their fathers, as Hamlet does.
Fortibras sets out to attack Denmark to avenge the death of his father in battle against Denmark, but is stopped by his uncle, who is now king of Norway.
Laertes storms in to Elsinore intent on killing Claudius, who he thinks had a part in the death of his father, Polonius.
Neither of these alternatives are necessarily better, they are just alternatives. Laertes, in particular, is hot headed and dishonorable. He allows himself to be manipulated by the king and hatches a plan to poison Hamlet.
And Hamlet does more than just sit around and worry. His character is considered to be one of the great thinkers of English literature. And there are numerous possibilities that might cause him to delay his revenge: he is unsure of the Ghost's identity for the first half of the play; he is suffering from depression and maybe madness; it is not a small thing to kill a king; he doesn't want to send Claudius to heaven by killing him while he is confessing his sins, etc.
But, for better or worse, Fortinbras and Laertes do serve as foils to Hamlet.
To me, the major similarity between these three young men is that each of these men feels (at some point in the play) that his family has been wronged and he needs to take revenge. Hamlet, of course, has had his dad killed. Fortinbras's father was killed too, and part of his kingdom taken. For Laertes, the wrong is later in the play, but his dad has been killed too.
What's different about them, to me, is that Laertes and Fortinbras are confident men of action. They act quickly to take revenge. Hamlet, on the other hand, is famous for sitting around worrying about what he should do instead of actually doing something.

Some caveats: There is a plant known as poison sumac. It bears little resemblance to Staghorn sumac, in my mind, principally because poison sumac has white berries. So simply remember: red berries good, white berries bad. Also, people who are sensitive or allergic to mangoes, pistachios, and cashews are best advised to avoid sumac due to the fact that they are all related.
How to make sumac lemonade:
- Beginning in mid- to late-summer, go on a sumac hunt. This may be the most difficult part. Sumac grows along roadsides and fencerows, so country backroads are the best places to look. If it is a particularly well-traveled and dusty road, you will want to keep looking, because gritty sumac is not ideal. Naturally, get permission if you are on private land or anywhere else you shouldn't be without an official okay. Once you have found your sumac, do a ripeness test: take your finger and rub it across the red berries. Lick your finger. If the red comes off on your finger in a sort of waxy powder and tastes good and tart, it is READY. If nothing comes off and there isn't much tang, but the berries are young and fresh-looking, you are too early. Go home and wait another week or two or three. If the berries are kind of dry and yield little or no sourness, you are too late. Go home and make plans for next year.
- Pick your sumac. The bright red panicles are easy to snap off with your hand, or take along pruners or a knife to help. Fill a grocery bag for one good batch, more if you want enough to make a concentrate to freeze for later.
- When you get the sumac home. lay out a clean cloth or butcher paper on a flat surface outside where you can spread out the panicles and examine them for hitchhikers. Gently tap them and check them out for stink bugs, spiders, etc., which might be hiding. Don't wash them, because doing so will wash off all the flavor. If one or more are dirty for some reason, discard the dirty one(s).
- In the kitchen, fill your largest bowl about halfway with several quarts of fresh water. Submerge one or two of the sumac panicles in the water at a time and rub the berries between your hands and fingers under the water. You are trying to rub off the red, velvety powder into the water. Once you have done this, the white surface of the berries will be revealed and the water will become more and more pink. As you finish processing each panicle, remove it from the water and set it aside for your compost pile.
- Once all the berries have been rubbed, cover the top of a large pitcher with two to four layers of cheesecloth. Secure with a rubber band. Adjust cloth so a well is formed over the pitcher for the strained material to accumulate.
- Carefully pour the sumac water into the pitcher, straining out the loose berries and little hairlike particles and any other impurities. Depending on the amount of loose material in the water, you may have to dump out and rinse your cloth and resume straining one or more times.
- Depending on the amount and potency of the sumac you used for the amount of water necessary to process the lemonade, you may need to dilute it. Sweeten the resulting beverage to taste with honey, raw organic sugar, or the sweetener of your choice and chill or serve over ice.
If you like, make a concentrate by using the same water for processing additional quantities of sumac berries. (Reduction by boiling will alter the taste). Sumac concentrate can be frozen for later lemonade use or used to make jelly.

Silicone Water Repellent by Shinola
Handcrafted in Chicago by C.A. Zoes Manufacturing, a 3rd generation family-owned business, Shinola Silicone Water Repellent delivers exceptional year-round protection from rain, snow, stains, and dirt, while extending the lifespan of leather. Producing high-quality silicone water repellent is a demanding process requiring highly-experienced craftspeople, many of whom have worked in the same shop for decades. This hands-on approach is more labor intensive and takes longer than conventionally-produced water repellent, but the resulting high-quality product speaks for itself.

It Has Been Interesting

-By Gregory Stewart
Well, it has been an interesting few weeks of news. In the past few weeks, the president wrote an executive order that essentially says (see link here), "This policy establishes "National Essential Functions," prescribes continuity requirements for all executive departments and agencies, and provides guidance for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations in order to ensure a comprehensive and integrated national continuity program that will enhance the credibility of our national security posture and enable a more rapid and effective response to and recovery from a national emergency" In other words, without the legalese the President has the authority to declare martial law in order to coordinate "national resources" both public and private stave off critical falls of the economy and to centralize authority…
It has been an interesting few weeks, a team of foreign nations planned to blow up the fuel line of JFK International Airport (see link here), and if that is not enough, we have an immigration bill (see link here) that looks like the best compromise, because both extremes of the political aisle hate it,. But, upon further review it has some major flaws that need to be addressed before its passage. For instance, the twenty-four background check should be expanded to ninety-six hours (four business work days) to verify a person's identity and criminal history. This will enable official the opportunity to full assess an alien criminal history and status….
It has been an interesting few weeks, while the immigration bill is being debated more American soldiers are killed and Scooter Libby has been sentenced to 30 months to a federal prison for his part in "outing" Valerie Plame—a CIA operative. No matter how one spins it, he lied to investigators to cover not only his action but others (see link here)…
Yes, it has been an interesting few weeks, watching Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears provide excellent examples of culture of relativity with our own society….
Yes, it has been an interesting few weeks, where "enemy combatants" are being released (see link here)…..
Yes, it has been interesting few weeks, with again Paris Hilton jailed—then released—then jailed once more in the matter of days (see link here)….
Yes, it has been interesting few weeks, where the National Right to Life (NRL) separated itself from the Colorado Right to Life (CRL). The NRL felt that the CRL has embarrassed of their major ambassadors—James Dobson of the Focus on the Family (FOF). The CRL felt betrayed because they believe that Dobson misrepresented the ruling, by the US Supreme Court, on partial-birth abortion. They, the CRL believe that alls abortions should be banned and the US Supreme Court ruling ought to have been ruled so. Thus, the CRL criticized Dobson, in print, saying that he was providing false hope by accepting incremental restrictions. Yes, the fractionalization of Christianity will get more severe before its correction (see link here)…..
Yes, it has been an interesting few weeks, the Colorado Rockies are above .500 for the first time since the beginning of the baseball season (see link here). And, the summer heat of Colorado has taken hold. After all, it just another day in paradise and life has been righted….

I tend to push heavier data parsing off via multiprocessing, and stick to just threads for the GET/PUT/POSTS. I had one benchmark in PEP 371 which did url fetching (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0371/): cmd: python run_benchmarks.py url_get.py Importing url_get Starting tests ... non_threaded (1 iters) 0.124774 seconds threaded (1 threads) 0.120478 seconds processes (1 procs) 0.121404 seconds non_threaded (2 iters) 0.239574 seconds threaded (2 threads) 0.146138 seconds processes (2 procs) 0.138366 seconds non_threaded (4 iters) 0.479159 seconds threaded (4 threads) 0.200985 seconds processes (4 procs) 0.188847 seconds non_threaded (8 iters) 0.960621 seconds threaded (8 threads) 0.659298 seconds processes (8 procs) 0.298625 seconds For heavy http handling though, I rapidly move to using pycurl, rather than httplib, which of course brings a C module into play and allows me to sidestep some of the issues even more. Note that I'm not advocating/saying "things are fine as is" - I'm a pretty squeaky wheel when it comes to making this space (threads, the GIL, etc) better. Right now, my biggest thing to watch is unladen-swallow in this regard, as I don't see a lot of movement for this in core today. However, that being said; I think people get hung up on the GIL before even knowing if it does affect their application, and are too quick to discount python threads as a whole before figuring it out for themselves. jesse

A DISABLED man faces paying thousands of pounds to pave over his front garden because a council refuses to spend a few pounds on a disabled parking bay.
Supermarket worker Phil Burton, 58, of Strathmore Road, Worthing, has spent a year pleading with West Sussex County Council to paint the bay outside his house.
Northbrook county councillor Robin Rogers has been lobbying council officers for the bay on Mr Burton's behalf but has also seen his requests rejected.
Mr Burton now faces a costly bill to widen his driveway, which will enable him to manoeuvre his specially-adapted car outside his house more easily.
"The worst-case scenario is I come home, it's chucking it down with rain and have to park 20 or 25 yards down the road," he said.
"It takes 12 minutes to get the chair out the car and another five to eight minutes to get inside. I end up looking like a drowned rat.
"Having a disabled bay outside would make a massive difference for me."
Located on a bend of the narrow road, when there are several cars parked on both sides, it makes accessing the driveway difficult.
Because Mr Burton's wheelchair lifts out of the back of his car, he has to reverse on – almost an impossible task at busy times.
He soon plans to buy a new, larger vehicle, in order to take his grandchildren out in, which will make manoeuvrability harder.
The poor condition of pavements also makes it hard for him to use his wheelchair.
Mr Rogers said: "I assumed it would be a formality and it would get done.
"Surely it is easier to put in a painted line, which would only cost around £60.
"It's easy for me to park down the road, I can walk it. But anything that makes his quality of life better is worthwhile."
The bay would not be legally enforceable, as it would not be accompanied by a traffic regulation order.
But the pair believe this would make it cheaper and residents would avoid using it as a moral obligation.
Mr Burton said: "If I can't get a bay, I'd have to pay for a lot of work to be done on the drive. It would cost thousands.
"If I wasn't working, I would probably get a grant, so I would be better off on incapacity benefit. But I enjoy my job."
A spokesman for West Sussex County Council said strict criteria for bays needed to be met.
He said: "In this case, the conditions which would have enabled a disabled parking bay to be provided at this address were not met."

Start saving for your CSA nowKacie
This year, we'll be joining a CSA for the first time. A CSA, or community-supported agriculture, is a fantastic way to eat local (and maybe organic) produce, support a local farm, save time and money, and eat more healthfully.
My friend Renee suggested a particular farm which offers a variety of share sizes.
We'll probably get the "small" share which costs $300 for 22 weeks. That's a mere $13.64 per week. A large share costs $475, or $21.59.
We'll get 6-8 varieties of fruits and veggies each week, and on occasion, they'll toss in some preserves, flowers, baked goods and other treats.
Sounds like a deal to me!
I'll have to drive just a short distance to my pick-up point each week. I like how I won't have to stop at a farmers' market or spend a lot of time in the produce section at the grocery.
And, since I'll know what types of produce I'll get each week (it'll be listed on their web site), it'll help me plan menus a little quicker.
I've never been so excited about produce!
The $300 price tag is a good deal, but it is a lot of money upfront. Since payment isn't due until May, I'll set aside some money each month until then to cover our costs.
If you're thinking about joining a CSA this year, why not start researching your options now? You can choose your CSA and find out how much it'll cost. Be prepared to add it to your budget now, and enjoy a lower grocery budget during the summer.

This will be my first time in a CSA. Mine is $395 for a half share for a 20 week season. We had to do 50% down with 50% due in June. I'm really excited about it. I eat a lot of produce and I have a limited diet when it comes to grains and processed food (I can't have gluten) so this will be a great opportunity for me to have an awesome variety of fresh, delicious produce!

It is awesome that you're doing this! It's a great way to support local farmers, and, in turn, the environment. We learned about it in a class I took on the Green movement, I thought it sounded wonderful. I'm very proud :) You'll have to keep me posted as to how it goes. xoxoxo

Good deal! My CSA is 20 weeks and $425 for a small share; $695 for large.

I'm on my third week with a CSA here in California. I love it! It has forced me to eat more veggies, particularly lots of winter greens which I hadn't tried before. I highly recommend the cookbook, "Simply in Season" which is divided by season and makes it easy to find recipes for the fruits and veggies you'll be getting in your CSA share.

I've loved my experiences with my CSA. They offer whole or half shares as well, and I found that a half share kept me eating tons of fruits and veggies all summer and fall. It also helped me to learn to cook seasonally–which is healthy AND wallet-friendly. I use 101cookbooks.com for recipes for veggies that I've worked with less, like chard.

I've done a couple different CSAs. I just want to encourage people to look NOW and start saving this summer for next year. All the ones I've done take signups over the winter. The one I joined this year requires payment by Feb 10, but if I did it by Jan 10, I got a discount. Both of them open to current members first, so if you do it a second time, you might need to pay even sooner. Around here, CSAs fill up quickly, it seems!
By Kacie on Jan 27, 2010 | Reply
Bingo! That's exactly why I started looking now. You never know if one will fill up fast, or if they'll require early payment. By the time I thought about joining a CSA last year, it was too late.

I don't eat many veggies or fruits so this would be a total waste of money for me. I'm not saying I SHOULDN'T eat those things…just that realistically, even with the best of intentions, I wouldn't. I do love going to the Farmer's market so I figure I support my local farmers there for the few things I will eat.

Love, love, love my CSA (and obviously did a good job of "selling" Kacie on it, too.) I like knowing where my food comes from and who grows it. My favorite thing about it though, is that our son will grow up knowing that food comes from the ground, not from plastic containers. I'm convinced that our CSA share is responsible for his willingness to eat vegetables. Every week before we went into the little CSA "store" I had to give him a strict talking-to about how he canNOT eat the fruit and veggies on the shelf unless mommy hands it to him. What a wonderful "problem" to have!

Thanks for posting this! I was getting excited and checked out the CSA website and found a farm nearby. But ours is $250/month! OUCH! Ours runs from May to November. That's just too pricey for me. :( Especially when it's only my husband and I (and a newborn sometime in July). There are other farms, but they're quite a drive for the pick ups, not sure how that would work with our work schedules. But thanks for posting this, because I had never heard of it!

I was going to be a part of a CSA a couple of years ago, but it fell through. That was a little disheartening and I haven't looked since. I plan to frequent the local farmer's market this year…especially since it is only a few blocks from my house.
That's probably the most difficult thing about CSA's…if they have a bad year, you do too.
That said; however, I would definitely try again!

There are a lot to choose from around Pittsburgh. I started with Kretschmann's and tried Dilner's last year based on price and locations. I was really pleased.

Audi Tutorials // How to use the Audi features
Nov 17
I have dreamed of this place for a long time now, a place that could show Audi owners how to get the most out of all the features of there Audi, now that place is a reality. I have delivered hundreds of cars to my clients all over the country and everyone has different needs, questions and most importantly time frame. Audi has come up with an online aid "Audi Driver Tutorials" that allows Audi clients to go and explore and learn at there leisure all that there Audi and the Brand has to offer. Audi Driver Tutorials really take full advantage of everything from the MMI operation, Audi Drive Select, Bluetooth operation, iPod/iPhone integration and much more. Audi has done an excellent job creating this website for Audi owners and for that I have to say thank you.
