I have helped to raise five daughters and I have been blessed to see all five of them grow into womanhood. All children are influenced by their parents, but they will all "seek their own path." A corny cliché, perhaps, but absolutely true. My children are all different in their interests and pursuits and I have attended events over the years specific to each daughter: plays, dance and choral recitals, performance art, track meets. I have learned to appreciate the talents, the quirks and the unique personalities that makes each of these five women special.
Another cliché has certainly proven to be true in my parenting experience: "youth is wasted on the young, wisdom is wasted on the old." The oldest child gets the youngest father, the youngest child gets the benefit of more parenting experience. While all of my daughters have heard some of the same comments from me at one time or another, there are lessons I was able to share with my youngest child that I didn't quite understand when my eldest was just a little girl.
As a father to girls, I always wanted them to know that I am a warrior and that I would protect them (if this is sexist or chauvinist, I'm sorry, but I feel that this is simply my job). They also know to look for a warrior spirit in the men in their lives, be they romantic partners or otherwise. For example, my girls all know that any man dining with them in public better not sit with his back to the door! This suggests that this man must not be conscious of his responsibility concerning their safety.
However, as my children matured, and as I matured, the need to show my "war face" was not so much the priority. All of my daughters know that tenderness and visible emotion are not gender specific, but expressions of humanity that are as appropriate for men as they are for women. All of my daughters have seen me shed tears for both joy and sadness, which in no way, shape or form negates the fact that I will readily snap someone's neck to protect them if need be.
Being a person whose consciousness was forged in the fires of the Black Power Movement of the '60's, I always stressed to my daughters our history and the necessity of resistance. A member of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party, my militancy was also infused with the knowledge that women were fully equal "soldiers" in our struggle. As an individual, I was not plagued with issues of misogyny, but I admit to being ignorant to its heinous impact on the lives of our sisters here and women worldwide. I did not fully understand the contemptuous and dismissive attitudes that many men have toward women. It is largely because of my relationships with my daughters and their mothers that I have come to recognize just what sort of challenges our women are facing and as a result, I am keenly aware of the need for men to step up to address them.My advice to young fathers who are raising daughters (and sons) is to actively combat the cultural attitudes and images which continue to denigrate the very humanity of the female gender. As fathers and as Black men, we must fight misogyny with the same fervor and zeal that we fight racism.

Brothers must also realize that while a man may not always be there with his children, a FATHER will always be there for his children. Regardless of the relationship to their mothers, men must take whatever steps are necessary to be present and profound in the lives of his children. If you can live with them, even part-time or in a joint custody situation, I encourage you to do so. There are too many of our children who have never had the experience of having breakfast with their father before school or telling him about their day at night. And even if you are physically separated for extended periods of time, make it your business to call, email, text as much as you can.
It is most important to acknowledge the fact that my girls have mothers (yes, it has been a blended and extended family---we are Africans and Africans don't deal in "stepchildren" and "half-siblings") who are intelligent, warrior women whose loving influence and guidance has help to shape the outstanding women that I happily and proudly call call my daughters. Despite significant challenges, their mothers and I have worked to prioritize the needs of our children and to co-parent to the best of our ability. I have the utmost respect for my children's mothers and I want other brothers to know just how important it is to maintain a healthy, peaceful relationship with the woman who brought your child into this world.

A few months ago, I wrote an article about Peter Gabriel's Back to Front tour and the 25th anniversary of his groundbreaking album So. On October 6, Gabriel performed at the Hollywood Bowl, where I sat in section L2, completely dumbstruck. At 62 years of age, he's still got it. Not quite like he had it when he was in his 20s, 30s, and even 40s, but rather in a more subdued manner. Maybe he wasn't rolling around the stage in a hamster ball, or prancing about the stage as a flower, but he was skipping, running around, and even dancing, which is a real feat considering he kept his voice unwavering throughout the performance.
Gabriel performed the concert in three stages. The first, he said, was to be as if they were rehearsing, and experimenting with new sounds. True to his word, the lights throughout the arena remained on, and he sat before the piano. A hush spread throughout the packed arena. Gabriel began to play, singing a beautiful little song, that is, as of now, still unfinished. As he finished, the crowd was getting excited for what he had in store for them. In this rehearsal stage, he (and of course the magnificent Tony Levin, Manu Katché, David Rhodes, David Sancious, Jennie Abrahamson, and Linnea Olsson) played "Come Talk To Me," "Shock the Monkey," and "Family Snapshot." They were not played like the studio versions. Rather, he jazzed them up, making them into completely new acoustic versions of these songs.
Stage two was to be the second course, before the dessert, namely So in its entirety. At this point, the crowd was on its feet, so ready to sing our hearts out. Peter Gabriel performed powerful electronic versions of several of Gabriel's classic songs, starting with "Digging in the Dirt," "Secret World," and "The Family and the Fishing Net," and finishing with "No Self Control," "Solsbury Hill," and "Washing of the Water." At this point, the concert became a show, with spectacular lights moving about the stage like great living creatures, amazing cinematography displayed on massive screens spaced throughout the arena, and Gabriel and the band executing some synchronized dance moves. For "Solsbury Hill," Gabriel began skipping about the stage, involving the audience in his obvious joy, and eventually leading the rest of the band around the stage in a happy, skipping procession. The second stage concluded with an extremely powerful and beautiful rendition of "Washing of the Water," one that literally brought tears to my eyes.
And for stage three, Peter softly announced that dessert had finally arrived. A thrum of anticipation swept throughout the crowd as we waited, breathless, for him to begin. Everything began to glow red, marking the beginning of the opening track from So, "Red Rain." For "Sledgehammer," the audience leapt to its feet once again, singing uproariously. At the conclusion, Abrahamson joined Gabriel in the forefront as they began to sing "Don't Give Up." The crowd grew silent, everyone holding their breath in anticipation. The haunting lyrics resonated throughout the Bowl, sounding inspirational at the same time.
Next thing I knew, I was hearing "That Voice Again." The people all around me became friends, comrades, and we all sang in unison, remembering the first time we heard that voice. Then we watched Peter sink to his knees, slowly falling backwards until he lay flat on his back, staring up into the lights. The first notes of "Mercy Street" rose up from the stage, evoking images of water, rowing a boat, and family. I looked over at my father, tears welling up in his eyes as he sang along to the lyrics, "…in your daddy's arms…" His obvious joy at all the memories the song brought back made me so thankful to Peter Gabriel for giving such a gift. Truly, only Peter could sing an entire song lying on the ground and make it a work of pure art. From there, the tone changed dramatically as he transitioned into the satirical "Big Time." The audience laughed and sang, chanting the last 17 'big's enthusiastically. Then came the dark "We Do What We're Told," referring to the Milgrim 37 social experiment. The lights turned red, and Peter sang with such regret and anger as to invoke the same feelings in us. He transitioned into the strange and whimsical "This Is The Picture (Excellent Birds)," and finally to the iconic "In Your Eyes."
Before he began, however, a surprise was waiting in the wings. A man, dressed in black, wearing a baseball cap, ran out onto the stage and handed Peter a large bulky object. Peter announced gleefully, "Mr. John Cusack!" whereupon the man gave a bow and the crowd erupted in tumultuous cheering as Peter raised the boombox above his head, grinning wildly at the reaction. After the song concluded, the members left the stage one by one. We all kept cheering, eager for the encore. It came, as promised, beginning with "The Tower That Ate People." And, for the final song, Peter sang his eulogy to Steven Biko (credit christopher). As each band member left the stage, we sat, enraptured, chanting the last echoes of that haunting song as Manu Katché kept the beat going. We left in a daze, without that feeling of bereavement we're usually left with after an amazing concert. It was the perfect ending to a perfect night.
There's nothing better than going to see your favorite artist in concert. It might be better even than listening to their studio versions with your vFree, which is saying something!
Here's John Cusack handing Peter Gabriel the boombox:
And here's a look at some of Peter's elaborate costumes from his Genesis days:

Hi Dave,
Are you getting any kind of stack trace at all? Does any part of the app display or not? How are you starting the app, using the start menu shortcut or opening an existing .jsb file or what?
It should work fine, so if you can provide some more detail I'll try to figure out what the issue is.

It's March and Madness
This last weekend of college basketball's regular season is like a season finale of the television show "Homeland": It's almost over, and we have no idea what's going to happen.
Let's start with the Atlantic Coast Conference. Miami wins the ACC if it beats Clemson (Sat., 2:30 p.m. ET, ESPN3). But a loss opens the door for Duke, which plays North Carolina (Sat., 9 p.m. ET ESPN) in what would be the seventh straight year that the Duke-UNC game had the ACC title at stake.
Three teams that won't be in the Big East for long—Georgetown, Marquette and Louisville—are tied atop their conference's standings. That race also will be decided Saturday: Georgetown hosts Syracuse (12 p.m., CBS), Marquette visits St. John's (2 p.m. ET, ESPN) and Louisville takes on Notre Dame (4 p.m., CBS).
The Big 12 title comes down to Kansas State and Kansas. Kansas State has to beat third-place Oklahoma State on the road (1:30 p.m. ET), while Kansas goes to Baylor (6 p.m. ET, ESPN) with a chance to take its ninth straight conference crown.
Then there's the Big Ten, which could have its first four-way tie for first since 1926. Indiana currently has a one-game lead over Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State. To win the country's best conference outright, the Hoosiers have to knock off Michigan (Sun, 4 p.m. ET, CBS) in Ann Arbor, which no team has done this year. Otherwise, they share the title with Michigan—and Ohio State, if the Buckeyes beat Illinois (Sun., 12:30 p.m. ET, ESPN), and Michigan State, if the Spartans get past Northwestern (Sun., 6 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network). Got all that?

I understand that the main quest can be completed without taking sides in the civil war, but I'm at the point where I'm contemplating finishing the main story line. I'd like to go back and do the civil war afterwards. Has anyone done that successfully?
I've done this succesfully. The main questline was one of the first questlines that I finished (mainly to get the Dragon Shouts exclusive to it), and the Civil War questline (the Imperial Legion path) was one of the last questlines I finished (because I can't decide who to support, initially).
A word of warning, though: There are a few bugs associated with one of the main quests, coming from a variety of questlines, including the Civil War questline.
If you do not trigger these bugs, or have done a workaround, you should be able to complete the Civil War questline even after the main questline has been finished.
More info:
The thing is, you have to do part of the main quest lines in order to do the civil war quest line, because the Yarl of Whiterun won't pledge allegiance with the Imperials until you go into Bleak Falls Barrow and retrieve the dragon stone for his court wizard. I imagine if you do the civil war quest line before you finish the main quest line, the peace meeting the gray beards put on might not happen (haven't tried it) because in the civil war quest you

Have you ever heard the phrase, "It gets better with age"? Well, to this Macallan says, "Age ain't nothin' but a number" as they announce a new range of single malt Scotch whiskies to replace the well-known Macallan Fine Oak and Macallan Sherry Oak ranges that consumers have come to know. Their intent? To release three no-age statement expressions over the next calendar year.
This is bad news for people who believe age statement indicates quality and justifies price. But it could be great news for people who know that just because a whisky is old doesn't make it good—or even mature.

I made a topic here about why my Fallout 3 runs better on Medium settings than low. So it seems that my CPU is a bit of a bottleneck.
Which settings are mainly CPU dependent so I can adjust them?
It's not quite black and white because several settings rely on both your GPU and CPU, but reducing your Resolution, Shadows, and Draw Distance (in your case, the settings on the view distance tab) will net you the most performance if your CPU is the weak link.
If you're using an LCD monitor, as most are these days, then you're pretty much stuck with what your native resolution is for your monitor. Technically, you can run it at a lower res and disable any GPU or Monitor scaling, but most people don't/won't do this.
The two most GPU intensive settings are Shadows and Anti-Aliasing.

McCain, the almost-Democrat.
Finally, a piece about John McCain's flirtations with the Democratic Party. This will be a serious problem for McCain once the Dems have their nominee.
About the Author

Why? This would certainly hurt Senator McCain if the 2008 election shaped up as a base vs. base election such as 2004, in which each campaign needed to turn out the party's core constituencies to make up for a decline in ticket splitting or independent voters. (President Bush won 93% of self-identified Republicans in 2004 and Senator Kerry won 89% of self-identified Democrats in an election that, as Michael Barone pointed out in his introduction to the 2006 Almanac of American Politics, was the first in which Republicans had party ID parity since the New Deal--and still the President was re-elected by the narrowest margin of any incumbent since Woodrow Wilson in 1916.) But as the always insightful and pseudonymous "Richelieu" points out at the Weekly Standard's blog (http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/03/richelieu_obamamccai...), the Republican nominee this year will win only by attracting moderate Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, who may become less inclined to favor Senator Obama over the next few months. In an election with (much) lower Republican ID and a more dispirited base than the President had in his favor in 2004, I should think the NY Times story, Senator Lieberman's endorsement, and the like help Senator McCain as much or more than they hurt him.
McCain's courting of the Bush-GOP base says quite a bit about what he thinks he needs to win. In this political climate, the GOP nominee is going to need all the help he can get. The Bush-GOP base will not take kindly to the fact that their nominee not once but twice apparently considered changing parties, and for a few years voted with the Democrats on several key issues. I have no idea what Lieberman's endorsement means for independents. I doubt it will have much effect.
Let's see ... the Democrats are tearing themselves apart with a gender vs race civil war while Republicans are lining up behind John McCain ... so, the NY Times (that bastion of credible, unbiased reporting, as far as conservatives are concerned) tries to take some of the editorial heat off the Hillary-Obama fiasco by suggesting that McCain flirted with becoming a Democrat not once but twice! ... and conservatives are supposed to fall for this and turn against McCain? The Times has probably erred as badly with this non-story as with its pseudo-sex-scandal-lobbyist-whatever story and helped solidify McCain's GOP support (while also helping reinfroce his maverick image for indepdendents and independent-thinking Democrats) ... ahh, it's a good Monday (as nearly every recent national or state-by-state poll indicates)!
LIke Mr. Moreland, I read this exactly opposite. The Republican base will go for McCain, faute de mieux. Only the politicos and radio gasbags feel any personal animus aginst McCain; for everyone else, it's horse-trading. On the other hand, if the Dems nominate Hilary, it will not be politics but betrayal, and they won't be able to rely on the African-American vote or the youth vote. Hilary has other oppsition in and around the Democratic party, as does the new merely-human Obama. The more "moderate" McCain appears the more likely he will be to shear off the sizeable segment of likely Democratic voters who hesitate at either.
See this link about prominent Republican Catholic contitututional lawyer endorsing Obama.I think McCain will have a lonely campaign.http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/convictions/archive/2008/03/23/endorsin...
Wow. it's getting lonelier by the minute for McCain.Catholic Senator Chuck Hagel says it will be hard for him to support McCain.http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080323/pl_bloomberg/abkcgvnb16o;_ylt... the right-wing fundermentalists are more baggage and more problems then inner-city African American rhetoric benders!
This seems like wishful thinking on the part of the NY Times. This is their second anti-McCain article that seems to have very little meat on the bone.
Robert Reid:You referred to the (as you put it) N.Y. Times pseudo-sex-scandal-lobbyist-whatever story about McCain. Just to clarify: as for the part of the story that had to do with lobbying, are you saying you found it unconvincing and/or unimportant?
I see the Democratic party as having much bigger problems than the Republicans. First, the Reverend Wright fiasco is scaring off some of the white males who initially supported him. Throwing his grandmother under the bus for saying the same thing as Jesse Jackson was a little much for the squeamish. Second, the Democrat party, which claims to be (under Obama) the party to unify America, can't even unify itself. It is in fact in the process of kneecapping itself. Whether it can heal itself sufficiently to run a successful campaign is problematical.A final word about Reverend Wright: Concentrating on his remarks being "controversial" or "racist" is to miss the main point: His stated beliefs that the American government invented and propagated AIDS as a means of genocide and that that same government smuggles hard drugs into the ghetto in order to facilitate the arrest and imprisonment of African -Americans is not true and the evidence of derangement.You can be sure it will be used in the Fall.
If we're going to kep this up through the election, I'm alreadt weary of the usual suspects ling up with the usual spin for their usual posture.AS they say, pul=eeze.It's like listening to " the best political team" 9sic) on CNN, screeds for the most par texcept Gergen and Taub.Vlearly, where one comes down is where there treasure is...mine is the reuniting of the American republic.
"Vlearly, where one comes down is where there treasur is..."?Slow down, Bob. Your fingers are missing the keys or hitting the wrong ones. And how do you define reuniting the American republic? The devil exists in the definition of that phrase, is it not true?
Gene,Unconvincing and unimportant but not at all unexpected from a NY Times that is sinking faster than Dan Rather's 60 Minutes did in credibility (and the story certainly has not produced any major follow0ups by other papers, media, or congressional ivnestigations--despite Democratic control of Congress ... because it never was a story with any legitim=acy).It is the final triumph of George W Bush--he drove the major media so insane with hatred that they are all dropping their standards to become little more than partisan hacks.
What's unconvincing is the comparison of this rather modest article with the Dan Rather incident. '60 Minutes' got taken by a forgery. (Why Congress would get involved is beyond me--what was that about small government?) The Times has the people involved in the talks, which McCain has admitted, going on the record with their story.
But Grant, the entire "story" was nothing more than a possible appearance of possibly improper behavior--not exactly a smoking gun ... more of pop gun that had prematurely popped
"I see the Democratic party as having much bigger problems than the Republicans."This might be true except that the Republicans have to deal with the weight of seven years of disastrous Republican rule. And McCain seems hell bent to keep to the same policies. (And I mean it literally.)
Unagidon:The problem for the Democrats is that very, very few voters will punish John McCain for what they don't like about Bush ... indeed, poll after poll currently shows that rather large numbers of Democrats (up to 28 percent of Hillary's supporters and nearly 20 percent of Obama's) say they will consider voting for McCain if their candidate does not win the nomination. I believe that when it comes to the president, Americans do not vote based on issues (at least, issues are not the most important thing, otherwise the Democrats would have won the White House in all recent elections). Instead, people look at the candidates and decide which one they think will make a better overall leader--thus, even people who oppose the Iraq war will consider voting for McCain because of his great experience in government and war and thus the assumption that he will make the better decisions (even if those decisions extend the war)

How do I get my 5-year-old to stop biting his brother and classmates?
I'll give a go at a generic answer here, though I hope the querant will revise the question with more specifics so that I can, in turn, offer a more direct answer.
Kids that age may bite for a number of reasons, each with its own solution. Here are a few of the most common, in no particular order:
Biting can also be a symptom of Sensory Processing Disorder. If you child has persistent biting, I would recommend doing research into this as a possibility, and consult your pediatrician (or get a developmental pediatrician).
SPD is nothing to be scared of, and most children diagnosed with it will learn to compensate and be fine. However, there are techniques and products that can help a child to focus and prevent biting.
If your child has SPD, biting is caused by the child becoming overloaded with sensory input in the classroom.
First Things First
You have to explain to your child that biting hurts, and that it hurts the other person as much as it would hurt them. Make sure by the end of the conversation that they explain to you why they don't want to be bitten, and that they understand that is the reason they shouldn't bite.
But sometimes kids this age get excited and don't remember not to bite. How can you remind them?
Try Yo Gabba Gabba
Show him this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6UWNA-WQgI
Yo Gabba Gabba is strangely good at getting some of these critical messages across. Its very catchy and your five year old will "get it".
Then follow up constantly by reminding him of the song. He will remember the song and it will help him remember not to bite.
If That Doesn't Work
If just simply getting the message across doesn't solve the problem, there might be deeper issues behind the biting.
You need to dig deeper to figure out why he is biting. If this is a constant problem, it might be time to consult with a behavioral therapist. Taking these kinds of problems seriously early on can save you and your child from big problems later. A lot of times your health insurance can cover this, so it is likely worth at least checking out if you can't solve the problem on your own.
What worked for us was a cold shower. If we got a report from the teacher at school that he had bitten someone, or if he bit his brother, parents, grandparents, or put teeth on his babysitter, as soon as he got home he went into the tub under the cold shower.
It was only for a couple of seconds, enough to get him wet, but it worked! If he didn't cooperate, he went in clothes and all. Sometimes we were in there with him. Everything else was ineffective. This took a week to stop with about 2 brief relapses.
Tell him, that it hurts them like it would hurt him. Then remind him that he would not want to be bitten either.
Also you may want to find out, when (or why) he bits his friends. Learn about his feelings and reasons. (You may not understand them but take them seriously!) Give him some hints what he might do better in that case. Just forbid something is not enough. I think you should always give some alternative behavior options.
Regardless if a child bites or not, I feel it is completely wrong to discipline a child by doing the very same thing to them that he/she did.
My approach to the biting problem is to remove the child to a room where the parent and child are alone, and calmly explain that what he/she did was completely unacceptable behaviour.
They must focus on the parents... eye to eye contact. Don't scream... Explain in great specific detail how & why and what they have done wrong. Ask lots of questions of your child and stay calm. Make sure that you are in charge at all times.
Once you feel the lecture is over, take your child to a corner in your home and have them kneel with their nose in against the corner with no talking or responding for 5 minutes maximum. Then ask them to come see you and ask them "Do you understand why you had to sit in the corner?"
Then have your child apologise to the person whom she/he bit. And warn he/she of the consequences if it were to ever happen again.
I think you will find this method effective with more than just biting.
Good luck, I hope this helps. After all, as the ol' saying goes: Raising children doesn't come with a book.
I have had the same issues with my 5 year old son in 2012. The school reported 2 different occasions of biting in one week. We did lots of feelings work with him as he said he was really angry both times he did it. We tried explaining why he shouldnt bite other children and he got it, he knew it was wrong. Then the following week squabling with his younger brother over a small toy, after he'd won the toy of him he did it in front of me just sunk his teeth into his leg then came running to me to complain his teeth hurt, he didnt give one thought to the fact his brothers leg was nearly bleeding. I made him sit in the thinking chair while he watched me tend to his crying brothers leg explaining all the time this is what biting does, then i told him he was going to bed early and carried him to bed, I explained I was going to bite him so he knew how it felt for the two boys at school and his brother when he bit them he gave me his arm and I bit it. He cried because it hurt then he cried himself to sleep, I felt really rotten as we dont even spank our children, but he has never bitten anyone again since its over a year later.
Tell him that biting is bad. Let him bite you softly and let him see its hurting really bad. And bite him back 'hard' (not hurting, just bad enough to feel bad) so he sees it hurts.

A year ago I was reading some magazine, and found out that there is availability to get a trip to Antarctica.
Unfortunately, there was no info about how I could get there.
Do you know anything about it? Best way to get there, best route, maybe some feedback?
A year ago I was reading some magazine, and found out that there is availability to get a trip to Antarctica.
There are a few ways to visit Antarctica. Remember that nothing is ever guaranteed and it's quite possible with weather that you might not make it there.
Cruises: Larger cruises often will get you close but not to the land. You'll have the comforts of cruising. These big ships may be regulated soon. Smaller ships will often let you get right onto land. Costs start at least $5k (for the ultra cheap).
Tailored Expeditions: Many companies run specialty expeditions which let you visit Antarctica exactly how you want. Prices are extremely high for this.
Airborne: You get to fly over Antarctica. This is the more ecological way to see it but doesn't have the same experience as actually walking on it. This is also the cheapest option.
Almost all tourist methods leave from Ushuia, in Argentina. You could get work on a boat, book a cruise, or take a tour with GAP Adventures, among others. However, there is almost NO cheap option.
However, if you're after a cheaper option and have some time to spare, arrive in November. It's the start of the season and many of the boats aren't full. As such, they often offer 50% off the prices of trips to Antarctica. It's still expensive, but a massive saving!
November is also a good time to visit the area, with El Calafate up north being a gateway to the glaciers, mountains and national parks. Perito Moreno glacier has to be seen to be believed!
Work in Antarctica:
Russian vacancies (from here):
Another approach you can take involves getting seasonal work as an unskilled laborer in support of one of the governments doing research there. In particular I think Great Britain, the United States, Australia, and Russia have big Antarctic programs and thus employ a lot of civilians.
I believe most of the most popular route is by cruise ship and the most common departure port is Ushuaia, Argentina.
Become a researcher in an Earth/Planetary Science department or in a lab that studies the physics of ice. The department I'm in at Brown University does send expeditions to study the dry ice valleys in Antarctica (to study parallels with Martian climate).
Alternatively, do research on penguins (though there are not many penguin researchers in the world).

Care Services for Children and Young People
This page is known as: www.birmingham.gov.uk/childrens-care
In working with children and families, Birmingham City Council aims to provide services that support families to bring up their children themselves, and work in partnership with parents and other carers. Where the child's interests require us to look after them we assist the family to keep in contact unless this is harmful to the child.
These children may be in foster care, living with a family or in residential care, in a children's home, waiting for a foster care place.
The following pages describe the support services that the council delivers for these children:

New license for Cherry
Hello all,
recently I posted on the main forum the last release of Cherry, but maybe many follow just this thread, so sorry for who already read this.
15 June 2011: change the Cherry on Ext license
We released a new version of Cherry on Ext just for change the license from LGPL v3 to New BSD.
This change is in accordance with the Ext JS license of course, and will give to the users of our library more flexibility and freedom.
And a new project file for those who want to build using JSBuilder 2.
4 Aug 2011 10:39 AM #42
Based on the news on your site, this is pretty much a dead project for ExtJS?
6 Aug 2011 12:19 AM #43
6 Aug 2011 8:21 AM #44
I do like their QBE type dialog for searching. The grid filter is fine if you like to click your mouse a lot.
8 Aug 2011 11:30 PM #45
maybe yes for many reasons.
The first is we don't have time to follow cherry on ext as it need.
This is because our company is not interested cherry on ext evolution.
Then half of the team leave the company.
There is ExtJS 4.
But I think for who use ExtJS 2 or 3, and still like cherry I will try to support as best, and hope someone else could help.
9 Aug 2011 12:28 AM #46
4 Jul 2012 12:03 AM #47
Finally something on Ext JS 4.0
Hello all,
thanks to Roberto Duò we have a version on SVN repos that work with ExtJS 4.0.
The team don't have so much time to work on this project, so there isn't a new version, just the code you could build with jsbuilder 2.
Hope this could help CherryOnExt users.

If we assume both distributivity and the opposite of the law of signs (ie, that $-1\times-1 = -1$) for the relative integers, then we can derive that two different numbers are actually equal.
$$-2(5+-3) = -2\times2 = -4$$ but, $$-2(5+-3) = -2\times5 + -2\times-3 = -10 + -6 = -16$$
The axioms that are conventionally assumed for the integers are simply the ring axioms. My question is, if the set of "axioms" described above turns out to be inconsistent, how can we be so sure that the ring axioms aren't inconsistent as well?
I'm aware of this question. On the one hand, I'm asking if you really need to venture that deeply into proof theory just for this (seemingly simple) special case. But if you do, could you provide an example of how to apply that technique to prove this special case?

The Lowell Clark Pratt Collection, 1959-1963 (bulk 1960-1962) contains personal correspondence written (typed) by Lowell Clark Pratt to his daughter Lucia Gilbertson and her family, a few family photographs and news clippings, and includes excerpts from these letters complied by his grandson, Allan Gilbertson. Lowell C. Pratt, an experienced journalist, editor, and part-owner of the
Selma Enterprise
newspaper (CA), came to San Jose State College in 1947 where he served as a Director of Public Relations and as an Assistant Professor of Journalism. Pratt later served as the Publications Manager and as faculty advisor to the Theta Xi fraternity. This small collection of personal letters cover a wide range of subjects. The contents relate ordinary life events, accounts of local and national news, and news regarding college life at San Jose State and the interpersonal politics of the SJSC staff. Pratt retired from SJSC in 1965 at the age of 70.
Lowell C. Pratt, (1894-1979) was born in Pomona, California, where he became a "cub" reporter in 1913 and later attended Pomona College. He served in World War I and in 1920 he graduated from the School of Journalism at Columbia University. Pratt began his career in Springfield, Massachusetts, but returned to Pomona, California where he accepted the position as city editor of the Pomona Progress and between 1923-1926 he worked for the Pasadena Star News. In 1926 Pratt bought the Selma Enterprise , which he and his partner sold in 1947. While living in Selma, Pratt was a active member of the community, serving as a president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, and the Community Club. He and his wife, Dorothy Louise Pratt, were members in the First Methodist Church. Pratt was a valued faculty member at SJSC, serving in a variety of postions including the Publications Manager and as faculty advisor to the Theta Xi fraternity. In 1965, after 18 years of service, he retried at the age of 70.

The cracks are practically invisible to naked eye but while boiling, they spew out all the yolk into the water creating a lot of mess. I'm wondering if I could test an egg before boiling it, so I could use the cracked ones for making omelettes, for example.
If I think an egg is cracked before I boil it, I make sure to add it to boiling water rather than letting it warm up with the water as it's heating. I give it a quick roll in the water with a spoon to make sure it is heated all round. This cooks the outside of the egg rapidly, sealing the crack immediately. no leakage. When you add a cracked egg to cool water, it has plenty of time to seep out uncooked.
The main reason eggs crack while boiling isn't because they are already cracked, but because of the sudden change in temperature from cold to hot. The same thing can happen to glass or metal, or practically any substance. (I've actually broken a glass coffee table top once by setting a pie pan out of the oven on top of it to cool... after a couple minutes, the top crashed to the ground, giving me quite a start!)
Some suggestions to prevent eggs from cracking while boiling can be found here. A summary is:
Also the eggs can crack while the water is boiling when they "dance" up and down and thus hit the saucepan-ground many times. A solution to this is to make sure you have enough water so that the eggs don't hit the ground when the water is boiling.

Many GTD article specifies that you put tasks for small items (that are less than 15 minutes long) and rest in calendar. I am thinking of using toodledo as primary system and then calendar for scheduling meetings only. So every morning I can see what work I need to do and be flexible on when to do them.
Any insights?

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo's commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy continues with a keynote address April 1 by Bill and Rita Bender, long-time civil rights activists and attorneys, who will focus on historic and contemporary educational inequality. Their address, "The Restoration of the Nation: Redress for the Deliberate Denial of Education," begins at 7 p.m. in the MacVittie College Union Ballroom and is free and open to the public.
The Benders were visiting professors at the University of Mississippi Law School in 2009-10, where they taught a course addressing the deliberate denial of education and worked with community groups through the William Winter Institute on Racial Reconciliation.
Bill Bender was an investigator for the New Jersey Civil Rights Division prior to attending law school. He is a 1968 graduate of Rutgers University School of Law. He practiced at the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York, where he was one of the attorneys for the New York City Demonstration School Districts, and the investigation of the murder of Fred Hampton in Chicago. Returning to Rutgers, he co-directed the Constitutional Litigation Clinic, and taught Civil Procedure courses. Upon moving to Seattle, Bill was a Federal Public Defender prior to joining the law firm where he has practiced since 1979.
Rita Bender went to Meridian, Miss., in January 1964 as Congress of Racial Equality field staff with the Council of Federated Organizations during which she worked in development of a community center, a precursor to the Freedom Schools, and voting rights denials in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party challenge. She also is a 1968 Rutgers University law graduate. She taught in one of the earliest poverty law clinics established at a law school (Rutgers) and then served as a public defender in New Jersey and in Seattle. She was the Regional Director of the Legal Services Corporation during the Carter administration and went into a private law practice in 1982.
The event is sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the Africana/ Black Studies Program, the Xerox Center for Multicultural Teacher Education, the Office of the President, and the Office of Multicultural Programming and Services.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ Opponents of U.S. policies on deportation are preparing to hold a vigil in Wichita for nine people detained in Arizona after demanding re-entry from Mexico on humanitarian grounds.
Among those planning to take part in Friday's event are relatives of 37-year-old Claudia Amaro, a member of the group dubbed the ``Dream 9'' following their detentions earlier this week.
The former Wichita woman was brought illegally into the U.S. as a child after her father was murdered in Mexico. She lived in Kansas for more than 17 years but returned to Mexico with her U.S.-born son after her husband's deportation.
The attempted re-entries by Amaro and the other activists were orchestrated by the National Immigrant Youth Alliance.
Members of Sunflower Community Action say Friday's event is intended to support the ``Dream 9'' and protest deportations.

Out of idle curiosity -
has the abolition of flag weight influenced flagging activity any?
Even I feel like I'm missing the kick of gratification, and seem to be slightly less enthusiastic to cast flags - although my actual behaviour seems unchanged. It just doesn't feel like a game any more. I think this is a healthy effect and abolishing it was a good step - too much gamification is bad IMO.
But I digress. Is there any data on this?

Will lifting weights slow my weight loss? Since muscle weighs more than fat, will I look better but weigh (on the scale) more?
Sign up

When combining diet and weight loss, it's important to decide how you are going to measure progress.
Your reasoning is correct. The scale will move more slowly when you are getting stronger while losing weight. You may even lose fat and gain weight!
There are some obvious qualifiers for that statement:
If you look at some of the body transformations on Fitocracy, you will find a number of women who actually added weight while their clothes fit better and looked thinner. Naturally, if you have a lot of fat to loose, you will lose weight before you are done.
Revised Goals
The scale is a useful tool while loosing weight, but if it starts increasing and your clothes are fitting better, that means you've put on more muscle than you've lost fat. If the scale is reading the same number, then the exchange is about the same. If the scale is going down, then you are losing more fat than gaining muscle.
Fat loss is not linear
You may find some weeks where the fat seems to melt off, and then several weeks where it seems like you're never going to lose the fat. That's why I recommend having more than one way to measure progress. You'll also find that scales that report the body fat percentage are not that accurate. It's easy to get depressed looking at the scale's numbers when the inches you've lost tell the real story.
As you get leaner, you will have to adjust your diet to keep progressing. That's because as you lose overall mass your metabolic rate will drop because it doesn't have to support all the extra fat. That means the number of calories you needed to maintain the physical activity and lose weight will get lower over time. That's expected, and you'll have to recalculate your requirements every 5-10 pounds you lose.
ah... the dreaded scale...
Weight is just a number it should not be a goal to make the needle move less when you step on it unless you're obese. Even then, in order to lose weight you have to burn calories. Weight lifting is a good additional activity to burns calories.
Should you loose fat and gain so much muscle that your weight increases, you're sitting on every body builder's dream. I can almost promise that this will not happen w/o unnatural assistance.
Another fact is that the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn while performing daily tasks. This is why it gets progressively more difficult for some people to add muscle when that is desirable.
As much as we may desire change, the human body tries to remain the same or change slowly. This is why people as they get bigger get stretch marks (from muscle or fat). Similarly when you lose weight quickly, you'll have extra "skin" until your body reclaims it. We can't let our minds be disappointed in the limitations that EVERY body has.

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
mickburkejnr is close, but not entirely right. The problem is not with DNS (it could be, but that's unlikely). The problem is that your web server isn't configured to respond to queries for your site without the "www" prefix with the appropriate site.
Keep in mind that "www" is just a normal subdomain. "google.com" is the root site, "www.google.com" is a subdomain, just like "mail.google.com" is. If you wanted "mail.google.com" and "google.com" to go to the same place, then you'd have tell your webserver that.
Generally, the best solution is to redirect from "www" to the non-www version of the site (some prefer the other way; as you can see, SE sites don't). You can find examples of how to do that with common webservers easily using Google.
With Apache, I like to simply use the redirect directive in a separate virtual host:
You DNS record isn't set up to accept traffic to the server without the
If you can't change the DNS records yourself, contact either your registrar or your hosting company and they will sort this out fairly quickly for you.
Tom's diagnosis is correct. I will offer another server configuration which serves a slightly different function than Tom's:
Tom's configuration will cause the server to redirect www.example.com to example.com and then serve content, whereas the above configuration will serve the same content without redirecting.

Which stack is the best fit for "childish", naive questions of general interest? Sorta of questions children like to ask. For example - "How does it comes that water in oceans is salt, and in rivers it isn't".
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Stack Exchange sites are organized around topics, not difficulty levels. In actuality, all of the sites make a serious effort to appeal to experts, so that there are people who can provide good answers to all the questions coming in. Without the experts, you'd end up with a bunch of ill-informed passers-by tossing out speculation. Of course, non-experts are welcome on Stack Exchange sites so long as they can compose coherent, on-topic questions.
Each site deals with a specific subject; there will never be one that says "come ask whatever pops into your head". This prevents (or reduces) questions getting buried under millions of other questions you don't care about. When the site has a specific focus, it's easier to build a community of experts around that subject. It's also because open-ended question sites have a history of doing poorly.
Your example question though might fit on the Popular Natural Science site if it were to launch.
For other questions, consider this excerpt from What kind of questions should I not ask here? which applies to pretty much all Stack Exchange sites:
If your other questions meet those guidelines, you should be able to find or propose a Stack Exchange site where you can ask them.

If, with a bit abuse of notation, $U\notin R\bigotimes{R}\bigotimes{R}\bigotimes{...}$ (i.e., regardless how long you clebsch up $R$, $U$ won't appear in the expansion), I call $U$ unsociable with respect to $R$ (in the group $G$). Clearly everything else is unsociable with the $1$ irrep, since (duh) $1\bigotimes{1}\bigotimes...=1$. For finite groups there can be nontrivial (ahem) cases: For $G=C_{3v}$ (the symmetry group), $A_2\bigotimes{A_2}=A_1$ and thus $E$ is unsociable w.r.t. $A_2$.
But what is the deal with Lie groups? E.g. is the defining irrep of $E_7$ unsociable w.r.t. the adjoint one?

For finite groups there can be nontrivial (ahem) cases: For $G=C_{3v}$ (the symmetry group), $A_2\bigotimes{A_2}=A_1$ and thus $E$ is unsociable w.r.t. $A_2$.
It follows from a theorem of Burnside/Steinberg that if G is a finite group then the tensor powers of a module V contain all irreps if and ony if V is faithful for G.
This is meant as an extended comment (sometimes correction) to things said in various answers and comments. As a public service I'll try to fill in some of the history and references. I recall some of this coming up previously on MO (exercise: find it).
In the framework of representation (or character) theory of a finite group $G$ over $\mathbb{C}$, Burnside led the way in his 1911 treatise (Chap. XV, Thm. IV): given a faithful representation of $G$, all irreducible representations (or characters) occur in some tensor power. A proof of this is given in the 1962 Curtis-Reiner book (32.9); a later addendum to that book refers also to the slightly later work of Brauer and his student Steinberg. Note that faithfulness is an obvious necessary condition here, not emphasized in most sources.
Steinberg, Complete sets of representations of algebras, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 13 (1962), 746-747, offered a simpler proof of Burnside's theorem. Then Brauer, A note on theorems of Burnside and Blichfeldt, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 15 (1964), 31-34, provided his own version of Burnside's theorem with a number of nice refinements: limiting how many tensor powers are needed, limiting the size of the characteristic 0 field, commenting on what remains true in prime characteristic. Both of these papers are available online at the AMS website.
Meanwhile, in his 1946 book Theory of Lie Groups (Chapter VI), Chevalley treated compact Lie groups and essentially provided a variant of Burnside's theorem. But here it's essential to use both the faithful representation and its contragredient (dual). The proof is in the context of the ring of representative functions, Tannaka duality, Peter-Weyl theorem.
In a later short note, G.I. Lehrer provided a much more algebraic proof of Chevalley's theorem (again for compact Lie groups): Produits tensoriels de grepresentations de groupes de Lie, C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris 275 (1972). He also refers to Steinberg's paper.
From compact Lie groups it's not so far to the finite dimensional representation theory of a semisimple Lie algebra or algebraic group in characteristic 0. But Burnside's theorem and its variants take their sharpest form for groups, whereas a single Lie algebra may belong to simple Lie or algebraic groups or the same Lie type but different isogeny type. This conceals the requirement that one start with a faithful representation.
Let $G$ be the simply connected group of type $E_7$. Then its center is $\mu_2$, the cyclic group of order $2$. Of course, it acts trivially on the adjoint representation, hence the same holds for all components of all tensor powers of the adjoint. But the action of the center on the defining representation is nontrivial, hence it is unsociable with the adjoint.
The proof of Burnside-Brauer adapts easily to give the following result for Lie groups:
Some preliminary comments:
Since $G$ is compact, the Lie algebra of $G$ is the direct sum of a semi-simple Lie algebra and an abelian Lie algebra; so the semi-simple hypothesis just says that there is no abelian summand.
Since $G$ is compact, we may assume that $R$ is a unitary representation, by the standard averaging argument. Since the representation is faithful, we may thus view $G$ as a subgroup of a unitary group. Let $n= \dim R$ and consider $G$ as a subgroup of $U(n)$ from now on.
Let $Z$ be the center of $G$. By Schur's lemma, $Z$ acts on $U$ and $R$ by scalars; let $\psi_R$ and $\psi_U$ be the characters by which $Z$ acts on $R$ and $U$. Since $G$ is semi-simple, $Z$ is discrete. Now, $Z$ lies in the center of $U(n)$, which is $S^1$, so $Z$ must be a cyclic group; say $Z \cong \mathbb{Z}/m$. Let $\psi_U = \psi_R^h$. What we will actually be showing is that $\mathrm{Hom}(U, R^{\otimes (h+mN)})$ is nonzero for all sufficiently large $N$.
Proof sketch: Let $\mu_G$ be Haar measure, normalized so that $\int_G \mu_G=1$. Then $$\dim \mathrm{Hom}(U, R^{\otimes (h+mN)}) = \int_G \chi_R^{h+mN} \overline{\chi_U} \mu_G$$ where $\chi_R$ and $\chi_U$ are the characters of $U$ and $R$.
Since $\chi_R$ is the character of a subgroup of $U(n)$, we have $|\chi_R(g)| \leq n$, with equality only when $g$ is of the form $e^{i \theta} \mathrm{Id}$. Such $g$'s are precisely the elements of $Z$. So, for large $N$, the integral is dominated by the contributions from small neighborhoods of the points of $Z$. For $z \in Z$, we have $\chi_R(z)^m = n^m$ and $\chi_r(z)^h \overline{\chi_U}(z) = n^{h+1}$. If you work out the asymptotics of the integrals, using the method of steepest descent, you get the contribution from each $z \in Z$ is of the form $$c n^{mN} N^{-\dim G/2} (1+O(N^{-1/2}))$$ for some $c>0$.
In particular, for $N$ large, all these contributions are positive and $\dim \mathrm{Hom}(U, R^{\otimes(h+mN)})$ is nonzero. $\square$
Commment 1 I'd love to know whom to credit for this trick. I came up with it in this blog thread and used it again here but I'm sure it's not original to me.
Comment 2 If $G$ does have an abelian factor, life is harder. The obvious counterexample is that, if $G$ is $S^1$, the irrep $R$ is $\theta \mapsto e^{i \theta}$ and $U$ is $\theta \mapsto e^{-i\theta}$, then $U$ is not a summand of $R^{\otimes n}$ for any $n \geq 0$. More subtly, let $G = U(3)$, let $V$ be the standard three dimensional irrep and let $R=\mathrm{Sym}^2 V$ and $U = \bigwedge^2 V$. Then $U$ is not a summand of $R$, and the matrix $e^{i \theta} \mathrm{Id}$ acts on $R^{\otimes n}$ by $2n \theta$ and acts on $U$ by $2 \theta$, so $U$ is not a summand of $R^{\otimes n}$ for $n>1$.
Comment 3 If $G$ is a complex semi-simple group, the same result holds for $G$ by the standard nonsense relating complex and compact representations.
Comment 4 If $G$ is a real semi-simple group, life is more confusing. For example, let $G = SL_3(\mathbb{R})$, let $V$ be the standard three dimensional rep of $G$, and let $R = \mathrm{Sym}^3 V$. Then $G \to GL(R)$ is injective, but the corresponding complex representation $SL_3(\mathbb{C}) \to GL(R \otimes \mathbb{C})$ is not. One should be able to formulate a statement here with a bit more care, but I'm not going to do it.
Comment 5 I have no idea what the answer is if $G$ is not semi-simple.

As I understand, LaTeX supports both via
\textit and
\textsl respectively, but what is the difference between the two?
When both attributes differ, slanted is an oblique version of the roman font; the shape is basically the same but "sloped". Italics, on the other hand, have different letter shapes. The following example shows the difference:
Notice that some sans-serif fonts (Computer Modern sans-serif, for example) don't have a "true" italic font but just a slanted version of the roman form:
On the other hand, as Speravir mentions in his comment, not every roman/serif font has a slanted form:
Here's what Donald E. Knuth says (page 13 of The TeXbook):
As Philippe Goutet comments, Knuth's account is biased. What he fails to mention is that the widespread use of slanted type in the 1970s was only due to the fact that to cut the cost of making an italic font, the roman font was automatically slanted, which deforms letters (see e.g. blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2010/05/hypatia_sans_pr). For example, Knuth's slanted cmss has many of the typical defects of automatically slanted fonts, even though he used Metafont. And even today, serif typefaces with a good slanted variant are extremely rare, so if you care about typography, you should stick to italics.
As a final remark, besides the commands (with arguments)

I'm trying to use 4e's skill challenges in Pathfinder, but I have a question: should I ask my player to roll for initiative and take turns to Win the challenge, or just the best PCs should play it?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

As others have said, it's mostly personal preference. One of the problems with 4e's take on skill challenges is that it doesn't always give equal screen time to each PC.
In the early drafts of 13th Age and in some of the 13th Age organized play documents, they have a concept called the "montage" in which, during travel scenes, investigation scenes, or exploration scenes players describe a challenge they faced and a way they were able to get past the challenge. It takes place around the table.
I'd probably combine these two ideas and go around the table. It's faster than rolling initiative and gives each player some screen-time. Each result can lead to the next scene and so on. This also helps ensure you "fail forward" and not have a bad roll lead to a simple failure but instead to an interesting if difficult resulting situation.
Depends on the level of involvement and whether it makes sense in the fiction they would be going in order.
For instance social skill challenges might not make sense since not everyone can meaningfully contribute. A physical skill challenge that is required due to impending doom? That might make more sense to keep organized.
Having played a number of 4e Skill Challenges under Living Forgotten Realms, in many different ways, I can say I've seen different DMs do both.
Some DMs just let whoever is best at a task go for it, particularly when the challenge at hand only has a narrow set of skills available.
Other DMs don't want any one player to hog the spotlight, especially when the challenge allows a wide array of skills, and so will just go around the table one at a time, rather than roll Initiative.

FALL RIVER — Mayor William Flanagan today said he requested the state Department of Public Health to allow city police officers to carry Narcan spray, which stops opioid overdoses.
Calling drug overdoses an important public health issue, Flanagan said he was looking to take a "proactive, lifesaving approach. "
"Opioid overdoses can affect anyone from a child who gets into his parents' medicine cabinet, to a senior citizen who takes too much of their medication," Flanagan said.
If approved, Fall River police officers could be equipped with Narcan in the next three to four weeks. Flanagan said the police department would need to draft policies and procedures and then train its officers.
"Given the fact that our police department is often our first responders, they should be trained in the use of Narcan," Flanagan said.
This story will be updated.
