COLUMBUS, Ohio You have carlosloozer.com T-shirts on sale in Cleveland's downtown mall.
You have loads of Clevelanders longing to bust out their 2005 calendars with the circle around March 15, because that's when the Carlos in question makes his Gund Arena return.
You also have numerous Cavaliers, new ones and old, insisting there's no such thing as a Boozer hangover, no matter how many times the defector is mentioned on a daily basis.
It's too soon to say that.
There's only one way for the Cavs to prove it, and only one Cav in particular who can point the way.
Losing Boozer as a teammate, no matter which explanation of how it happened you're willing buy, isn't going to lower the expectations LeBron James carries one whit.
James simply has to take the Cavs to the playoffs this season. There is no alternative, unless he's prepared to answer questions much more nagging and unsavory than the uncomfortable queries he's been getting about fatherhood lately.
"Ain't no reason we shouldn't make it this year," LeBron says, accepting the challenge.
Then he explains why he feels so confident, and why he announced on Media Day last week that Year 2 will be "a breeze," at least for the Cav wearing No. 23.
"I've got a year of experience," he said. "I know what I'm getting myself into, so I feel like I'm going to be able to control my own destiny."
James, like everyone else with the Cavs, thought he'd be sharing that destiny with Boozer for a decade or so. Instead there is only one other starter left from the fivesome that took the court in Sacramento for LeBron's stunning debut last Oct. 29 center Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Yet James needn't count on any sympathy from the nation's hoop punditry.
He beat out Carmelo Anthony for the Rookie of the Year trophy even though Cleveland fell just shy of the playoffs, but the masses won't be so understanding if the Cavs fall short again.
For a player of his stature, two consecutive seasons without a postseason sniff is unacceptable.
Even at just 19, LeBron is supposed to be that good ... especially in the East, where five playoff spots are highly available behind the Detroit-Indiana-Miami power trio.
The good news?
Cavs coach Paul Silas, based on what he already has seen during his club's weeklong stay in Columbus at Division III Capital University, is convinced James is going to be that good in 2004-05, with or without Boozer.
"I just see in LeBron a different player this year," Silas said. "The mental aspect of the game, it's coming together with the athleticism. He relied (mostly) on athleticism last year. If you look at him now, he just understands how to play.
"His whole game is just elevated now, and I think you're just going to be surprised at how good he's going to be this year."
Philly transplant Eric Snow, one of the new starters, backs that up with his first impressions as a LeBron teammate.
"He's probably better than I initially thought he was," Snow said.
Shooting and footwork how he moves his feet when he's shooting and when he's defending were focal points of James' summer workouts.
Camp observers say the dream teen, despite missing a couple practices for the birth of a son and looking less than pleased by the media's persistent interest in his fatherhood, has noticeably improved in several key areas.
Most notably he's curling off screens better, making smarter passes in traffic and showing more willingness to absorb contact at both ends, either going to the hoop or chasing through screens defensively.
James, meanwhile, swears that his legs ooze with "more spring than I've ever had in my life.
"That's kind of scary for me," James said, and he won't be the only one to tremble if it's true.
He's also considerably more vocal than during his first NBA camp, when James preferred to settle in quietly with a team he said belonged to Ilgauskas and the since-exiled Ricky Davis.
"I'm still going to lead by example," LeBron said, "but (I've) got enough leeway now where I can voice my opinion, tell people what to do and what not to do."
All of that sounds great, mind you, until someone points out that the Cavs still have plenty of trouble spots to address if they hope to halt a stretch of six straight seasons out of the playoffs. Even in the East.
They'll need Ilgauskas to stay healthy for a third straight year, and they'll need him to focus on the present as opposed to next summer's free agency.
They'll need Drew Gooden, Tractor Traylor and perhaps rookie Anderson Varejao to combine for something close to Boozer's production as a triumvirate, but without Gooden getting in Ilgauskas' way.
They'll need Snow and Jeff McInnis to play well and co-exist sufficiently as a starting backcourt, so James can play small forward, which is what Silas sees as his natural position.
They'll also need Lucious Harris and rookie Luke Jackson and LeBron, of course to provide some perimeter offense.
"The only problem we had last year was being able to go out and shoot the basketball," James said. "I feel like every shot I put up now is going in."
Again, the talk sounds great. However ...
James is going to have to show us when the games count that his marksmanship is developing. You also wonder how the offense will flow without the selfless Boozer to chase down the misses.
"We took a step last year, winning 18 more games than the year before," said Cavaliers general manager Jim Paxson. "(Even) considering what happened over the summer, the next step is making the playoffs. Have to is a strong phrase, but that's our goal. We think it's realistic."
Said Silas, trying to absorb some of the burden James is shouldering: "Not only LeBron, but there's pressure on everybody myself, Jim Paxson, (owner) Gordon Gund. We all have great expectations. ... (But we) missed the playoffs by one game last year, (and it's a) better team this year. So there are great expectations, and it's something we don't shy away from."
Yet when pressed, Silas concedes that "the focal point is still going to be on LeBron. If we need something, he's going to have to provide it."
Otherwise, the basketball public of Northern Ohio might never get any lasting closure from Boozergate.

What Color Is Donald Trump's Face?
If there's anything more erratic than what Donald Trump says or thinks, it's the hues of the flesh surrounding his mouth and brain, that fluorescent, noxious stink-maker known as his face. In New Hampshire last night, the only question more compelling than "can he really win?" was "what color will his face be?"

Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily and don't consume sugary snacks throughout the day.
Those were some of the tips Fort Sill dentists gave to students at Sheridan Road Elementary School Feb. 22 during a visit as part of National Children's Dental Health Month. This year's theme is "Get a Gold Medal Smile.
Six dental residents, who are in the Comanche Advanced Education and General Dentistry 1-year Program, as well as the program's director and an instructor spoke to kindergartners through fifth graders.
Using hands-on presentations, the dentists also spoke about the different kinds of teeth, how to properly brush and about the importance of oral hygiene. Children were also given packets containing a toothbrush, floss and dental care instructions.
"It's really great that they came out to help the kids," said Christi Wilson, second grade teacher. "It's important for the children to learn about the proper care of their teeth so that when they are older they don't have problems."
Col. Bernie Hennessy, Comanche AEGD director, said the residents emphasized healthy drink choices and basic oral care to the youngsters.
"We want them to understand that it is important to brush twice a day for two minutes per time," he said. "And, we want to get kids to drink more water and milk as opposed to the cola drinks most kids like to drink, including my own."
Dentist Capt. Sky Sessions said he wanted children to learn about sugar and what bad affects it can have on teeth.
"We want to get them to eat a little bit less of sugar, and also to brush and floss every day," said Sessions, who will graduate July 12, and go to Fort Belvoir, Va.
Sessions and Maj. Nathan Parrish, Comanche AEGD deputy director and Cowan Dental Clinic officer in charge, taught a class of second graders that adults have 32 teeth, children have 20 baby teeth and that a tooth can have one to three roots.
They also spoke about the names of teeth using a training set of chompers.
"What do you call the big cutting teeth?" said Parrish.
"Beaver teeth" and "big teeth" were some of the replies.
"Yeah, they are a little like beaver teeth, and they are big," Parrish said. "They're called incisors."
In another class, dentist Capt. Nathan Buckner and Hennessy showed the students two eggs. One had set in water for a couple weeks, while the other set in a cola drink.
One was white and the other brown.
"There's acid in (carbonated) drinks like that and the acid started taking some of the mineral off the shell," Hennessy said pointing to the brown egg. "The same thing could happen to our teeth."
Second grader Mya Farish, age 7, said she learned that it's important to brush teeth.
"I learned that bacteria can chop your teeth," she said.
And, Jayden Licea, 8, said he learned that one should brush and floss every day.

I am going to start with the end in mind. You can do all this no matter what your challenges are. In 2008 I was given a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease after struggling for 10 years. As a workaholic I found it difficult when I could no longer work, or have purpose in life; something that is so important so we do not spiral into decline.

On the Admin side, when I tried to click the Menu drop down boxes like "Link""Page" "category" nothing happens. The rest of the page works but these features don't do anything. As soon as I deactivated SEO they work fine. I did this a couple times just to make sure. Any fixes or work arounds to this?

I have a 4-bit number representation in JavaScript, that represent the 4 times of the day (morning, afternoon, evening, night).
So lets say I have the number 13 (1101) in decimal, it represent that some action has to be done in the night, evening and morning (not afternoon, as the 2nd bit is 0).
What I did so far is get the 4-bit digit that represents the day (1000 is night, 0100 is evening, 0010 is afternoon, 0001 is morning), and what I want to do is create a function that compares the 2 numbers, and returns true if the bit at certain position is equal to one.
I am aware of bitwise operators, but I tried to use them but still no luck.

(AP) Florida has the power. Vanderbilt has the pitching. South
Carolina has the swagger.
The three teams just finished one of the most entertaining
regular-season races in recent Southeastern Conference history, all
ending with 22-8 records for a three-way tie. Now the powerhouse
programs are the favorites to win this week's SEC tournament that
begins on Wednesday at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala.
South Carolina earned the No. 1 overall seed in a tiebreaker and
the defending national champions certainly have a reasonable claim
as the team to beat. The Gamecocks took the season series from both Florida and Vanderbilt while weathering multiple injuries,
including one that's kept star outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. out of
the lineup for much of the past month.

Driving Home: An American Journeyby Jonathan Raban
View All Available Formats & Editions
Yet if these themes are evident in each of/b>/b>
For more than thirty years, Jonathan Raban has written with infectious fascination about people and places in transition or on the margins, about journeys undertaken and destinations never quite reached, and, as an Englishman transplanted in America, about what it means to belong, to feel rooted.
Yet if these themes are evident in each of Raban's books, Driving Home is where he explores them most comprehensively. Spanning two decades, this collection charts a course through the Pacific Northwest, American history, and current events. Raban's stops en route include a Missoula bar, a Tea Party convention in Nashville hosted by Sarah Palin, the Mississippi in full flood, a trip to Hawaii with his daughter, a steelhead river in the Cascades, and the hidden corners of his adopted hometown, Seattle. He deftly explores public and personal spaces, poetry and politics, geography and catastrophe, art and economy, and the shifts in various arenas that define our society. Whether the topic is Robert Lowell or Barack Obama, or how various painters, explorers, and homesteaders have engaged with our mythical and actual landscape, Raban has an outsider's eye for the absurd, and his tone is intimate, never nostalgic, and always fresh.
Frank, witty, and provocative, Driving Home is part essay collection, part diary—and irresistibly insightful about America's character, contradictions, and idiosyncrasies.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
The New York Times Book Review
Paul Theroux, The Guardian, UK
"With his characteristic curiosity and his insatiable desire to drink as deeply as he can from the wells of landscape or literature, Raban once again vividly captures the experience of trying to make a home in a place that he continues to find fascinating, bizarre, ugly, beautiful, repellent, and generous."
Publishers Weekly
"Full of ideas that move through the language with the grace of a well-captained sailboat."
Kirkus Reviews
"Describing how Raban left England two decades ago for a new life in Seattle, these essays offer agile readings of the landscape, literature and politics, 'along with some backward glances to England,' he writes, which 'may betray a lurking nostalgia for a society more settled in its shape, more instinctively known, than the one I live in now.'"
The New York Times, Paperback Row
"Raban knows the best essayist trusts in drift and digression and habitually adds a literary trill. He is an erudite but adaptable companion, tart and genial, promiscuous in experience yet reliable in temperament…He conjures with his new home, with the Pacific Northwest, with history, poetry, geography, catastrophe…subjects Raban circumnavigates with finesse, shrugging off the obvious and regularly landing us on a shore we can't quite glimpse from here."
Stacy Schiff, The New York Times Book Review
"Raban writes with characteristic ease and insight…[describing], among other things, his attempts to get to know his adopted home and its warring tribes."
The New Yorker
"…Raban achieves the perfect blend of the historical, observational and personal for which so many strive. … I loved this book."
Sara Wheeler, The Literary Review, Edinburgh
"Raban is at his best when treating the people, landscapes and cultures through which he is passing as if they were works of art: holding up absurdities to patient inspection, digging into their histories, forcing the complacent and skeptical to acknowledge hidden beauties….Phrase-making wit is much in evidence through these pages, and there is something refreshing about a first-rate writer whose stories are literate and sophisticated but never self-consciously 'literary.'…He knows how to capture the truth of a thing without saying it."
Barton Swaim, The Wall Street Journal
"Raban opens the mind's eye with ease….This 'American Journey' is the work of a fine example of that rapidly disappearing species, the man of letters."
Carlo Wolff, Pittsburg Post-Gazette
"Funny, acerbic, and deeply astute..."
Antony Doerr, The Boston Globe
"… Raban plots his course through his Americana scrapbook with historical vigour and intellectual flair."
Alan Chadwick, Metro, UK
"It's a quest that Raban approaches, in these essays, with the full force of his remarkable talent, infused with the profound intellectual ease and quiet authority that only a writer with so much steadying ballast of good work as Raban has could muster. …. In 604 pages, not a dull moment. How does he do it?"
Melanie McGrath, The Evening Standard, London
"This Englishman in America is weird, unfettered, scruffy, alive... Mr. Raban's best writing, which is most of it, is succulent under a crusty exterior, like a fish baked in salt. His stuff is yet more proof that Britons are better travel writers and essayists than Americans: drier, funnier, more argumentative."
Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"The essays collected in Driving Home do an excellent job of fleshing out the manifold conflicts—indeed violence—of the American landscape, but in the end, the dream of psychic renewal remains elusive, in large part because it is hard not to feel that the America of the past two decades, which Raban chronicles so carefully, no longer offers a sense of utopian possibility to the intelligent European mind, and Jonathan Raban is nothing if not an intelligent European mind."
Adam Bresnick, The Times Literary Supplement, London
"…the elegance, wit, intensity - and research - behind Raban's work demands that the reader follow the path towards Empsonian clarity."
Nigel Fountain, Oldie, UK
"Driving Home isn't just a good read, it's a bunch of good reads. It's a book of important, smart work from a terrific writer who will both blow you away, and make you want to argue with him."
Knute Berger, Crosscut, Seattle
"Raban [here] showcases his craftsmanship as a writer and his bona fides as an intellectual. Every word is impeccably chosen, every metaphor meticulously selected... [His] virtues as a writer are virtually unrivaled when it comes to explaining our relationships with landscape and nature, and he's unrivaled, period, when describe water in all its forms, be it a placid puddle or a storm-swirled sea."
Phil Campbell, Columbia Journalism Review
"The central work of Raban's life must be described as an effort to determine what America is like… But along with that, the reader notes, big water draws from Raban a kind of genius for natural description."
Thomas Powers, The New York Review of Books
"His prevailing voice is one of reason, civilised discourse and elegant analogy. The rational lucidity, trimmed of overt passion or ferocity, makes the rare emotional outburst more potent."
Herald Scotland
"…Raban provides his own peculiar and precise critique of the land he now calls home, full of cultural and historical observation and littered with his own dry, droll humour. The result is a must-read for fans of the writer, and a fine, if full, aside for fans of the USA."
James Innes Williams, Traveler, UK
"Here is another, and welcome, addition to a genre that is best described as the literature of American encounter… It's hard to think of another writer who combines such a gift for the description of physical place with a deep, analytical intelligence."
The National, UAE
"Driving Home is a big book but it reads as if it's a short, anecdotal history of the United States from 1990 to 2000, and if you have never read a book by Raban this is a good place to begin."
The Spectator, London
"Jonathan Raban writes about water in the way that Barry Lopez writes about snow or Wilfred Thesiger wrote about sand: it's not always in the foreground of his observation, but you can sense his natural element in his whole way of seeing. … [Driving Home] is also an autobiography of sorts, a memoir of the years since Raban cast himself adrift from Britain and washed up in Seattle."
The Guardian, UK
"The true Raban touch here is that he brings his deep reading of American history to play, and manages to interweave his personal journey with essays on the explorers Lewis and Clark, who made a similar journey at the request of President Jefferson. It takes a passionate history buff to note how many of America's virtues and vices have been present since independence and before, and a skilled raconteur to make us feel that passion. It's a fine ride."
Kevin Jackson, The Sunday Times, UK
"The master of the margins, Raban is an inspired observer and a natural writer. He has always understood the US, and since he left his native England to settle in Seattle he has never lost his understanding of the US or his outsider's fascination with it. Six hundred pages of pleasure, including Last Call of the Wild."
Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
"Driving Home is a pleasurably baggy collection from an acerbic, sometimes crusty writer, well suited to the nightstand."
Seattle Weekly
"A sterling collection….An incomparable travel writer, in this book Raban supplies myriad observations about his adopted home, but also on the larger American landscape, riffing on the West, urban architecture, national political trends, the dot-com economy, and most sublimely, about nature."
David Takami, The Seattle Times
The acclaimed writer offers a collection of essays about America and Americana.
Arranged chronologically (1993–2010), these pieces chart Raban's (Surveillance, 2007, etc.) move in 1990 from London to Seattle and show his various explorations of the geography, politics and sociology of his newly adopted land. In the introduction, he writes about his love of reading, crediting his mother for teaching the skill and instilling the desire and critic William Empson for showing him how to read deeply. (Empson reappears in Raban's penultimate piece.) Throughout, Raban reveals the traits that have long endeared him to his readers—a curiosity about the quirkiness of people and places, a ferocious love for the land, an elegance (but never pretentiousness) of style, self-deprecation and an unusual ability to inhabit the imaginations of his interlocutors. In the forests around Seattle, for example, he displays his understanding of both loggers and tree-huggers, land-lovers and -developers. He understands resentments. In the title essay, readers may be amused to note that he records a visit to Forks, Wash., now world-famous as the setting for theTwilightnovels. Throughout his American odyssey, Raban writes about Mark Twain, Puget Sound, the Mississippi River floods, the dams on the Columbia River, waves along the Oregon coast, the sailor Joshua Slocum, sailing, the evolving architecture of Seattle, Seahawks' fans in Montana, the vicissitudes of Robert Lowell and prominent Republicans (George W. Bush, Sarah Palin) and the Tea Party, for whom he has slight regard. Occasionally, he leaps back to his native England to write of Philip Larkin and George IV. As in any such collection, some repetitiveness emerges, but never enough to annoy.
Full of ideas that move through the language with the grace of a well-captained sailboat.

Driving Home
In the spring of 1990 I packed up as much of my life in London as would fit into a suitcase and four large plywood boxes and flew to Seattle to set up house. It was a selfish and irregular move. I had "met someone" and liked what I'd seen of the Pacific Northwest during a two-month stay there the previous autumn. I liked the aquarium lighting, the sawtooth alps forested with black firs, the compact cities encrusted in dirty Romanesque stucco. Most of all, I liked the place's wateriness. At forty-seven I felt cracked and dry. My new home territory was as rainy as Ireland, puddled with lakes and veined with big rivers. Seattle was built out on pilings over the sea, and at high tide the whole city seemed to come afloat like a ship lifting free from a mud berth and swaying in its chains.
We took a house on the wrong side of Queen Anne, the innermost of Seattle's hilltop suburbs. The tall wooden house, built like a boat from massive scantlings of Douglas fir, carvel-planked with cedar, had been put up in 1906, in the wake of the Yukon gold rush, when the hill itself was logged. It had warped and settled through a string of minor earthquakes: the floors sloped, doors hung askew in their frames, and on a silent night it groaned and whiffled like a sleeping dog.
Barely a mile from the new banking and insurance skyscrapers of downtown, the house felt as if it were hidden away in the woods. Shaggy conifers, survivors of the original forest, darkened the views from every window. The study looked down over the Ship Canal, where trawlers stalked through an avenue of poplars on their start to the Alaskan fi shing grounds, eight hundred miles to the north. From the top-floor deck one could see out over the pale suburbs, like shell-middens, to the serrated line of the Cascade Mountains, still snow-capped in May.
For someone fresh off the plane from London, it was a vast prospect in which making oneself at home would not be easy. It had been fine to be a tourist in this landscape, when I had been enjoyably awed by its far-western heights and distances; but now that I'd signed up as a permanent resident, the view from the window seemed only to reflect my own displacement.
Even the very near-at-hand was strange. I kept Peterson's Western Birds and the Audubon Guide to Western Forests by the typewriter. I made lists and pinned them to the wall. Cedar, cypress, dogwood, laurel, madrona maple, I wrote, trying to distinguish individual personalities in the jumble of damp and muddy greens framed by the window. I took the tree book down to the garden and, wary of attracting derisive looks from the neighbors, matched the real-life barks against their close-up color pictures; the peeling, fish-scale skin of the lodgepole pine, the frayed hemp rope of the western red cedar. It took a month, at least, to be able to see the black-crested Steller's jay in the madrona with something like the comfortable indifference with which I'd used to notice a song thrush in the sycamore in Battersea. It took a good deal longer to adjust to how adeptly the rufous hummingbird, like a tiny thrashing autogyro, redisposed itself in space, zapping from point to point too fast for the eye to follow. Glancing up from the typewriter, stuck for a phrase, I'd catch sight of a bald eagle slowly circling on a thermal over the Ship Canal, its huge wings still and ragged, and lose the logic of the sentence to another half hour of involuntary ornithology.
The German word for "uncanny," as in Freud's famous essay on the Uncanny, is unheimlich—unhomely. The tourist thrives on the uncanny, moving happily through a phenomenal world of effects without causes. This world, in which he has no experience and no memory, is presented to him as a supernatural domain: the language of travel advertising hawks the uncanny as part of the deal. Experience the magic of Bali! The wonders of Hawaii! The enchantment of Bavaria!
But for the newly arrived immigrant, this magic stuff is like a curse. He's faced at every turn with the unhomelikeness of things, in an uncanny realm where the familiar house sparrows have all fled, to be replaced by hummingbirds and eagles. The immigrant needs to grow a memory, and grow it fast. Somehow or other, he must learn to convert the uncanny into the homely, in order to find a stable footing in the new land.
Hunkered down in the second-floor study of the comfortingly old and memorious house on Queen Anne, I tried to read my way home. My best guides were fellow aliens in the Pacific Northwest, from the early explorers of the region to such relatively recent arrivals here as the poet Theodore Roethke and the novelist Bernard Malamud. From the late eighteenth century to the late twentieth, they kept striking the same note of shock at the stupendous unhomelikeness of this landscape.
It drove George Vancouver into a pit of what now appears to have been clinical depression. Between May and June of 1792, as he probed the inlets of Washington and British Columbia, he went from dizzy elation to sullen melancholy—and wrote his changing moods into the permanent nomenclature of the region. To begin with, he was high on his discoveries: this was "the most lovely country that can be imagined." He saw the Pacific Northwest as a kind of unusually verdant Devonshire, and imagined orderly villages with churches and manors laid out between the wooded hills. At this stage of the voyage, the names he gave to the headlands, bays, and fiords were upbeat: Discovery Bay, Protection Island, Restoration Point (the most beautiful and useful features, like Mount Rainier and Port Townsend, were named by Vancouver after his relations, friends, and patrons).
May turned into June. As Vancouver sailed north, the mountains grew steeper, the inlets narrower, the woods more impenetrable. His lieutenant, Peter Puget, who kept a parallel journal, was increasingly excited by the romantic sublimity of what he saw: a few years younger than Vancouver, he was much more in tune with the rising generation's taste for wild nature. For Puget, the unfolding landscape was "majestic" and full of "grandeur"; for Vancouver it was increasingly "dreary," "unpleasant," "desolate," "gloomy," "dismal," and "awful"—the words pepper his descriptions, often being used twice in the same sentence. Five minutes north of the fi ftieth parallel, Vancouver brought his ship to a "dreary and unpleasant anchorage": "Our residence here was truly forlorn; an awful silence pervaded the gloomy forests, whilst animated nature seemed to have deserted the neighbouring country . . . " He called the place Desolation Sound.
Thirteen years after the Vancouver expedition, in the autumn of 1805, Lewis and Clark reached the Columbia River valley from the continental interior, after climbing to the headwaters of the Missouri and crossing the Rocky Mountains in what is now Montana. William Clark, with his botched spellings and childish exclamation marks, was a resoundingly lively presence on the page. He was an original vernacular narrator as he confi ded his discomforts, Dear Diary–style, to his journal. "O! how horriable is the day—" he wrote when the tidal Columbia cut up rough in a westerly gale and waves drenched the explorers' camp. "We are all wet and disagreeable." Clark had grown up in Virginia and Kentucky, and, like almost every newcomer to the Northwest, was incredulous at the monotonous fall rains that soaked the country west of the Cascades. It rained day after day, hour after hour— with the fine-sifted thoroughness and regularity of a gigantic lawn sprinkler. "This morning Cloudy and drisley." "Rained all the last night we are all wet." "Rain as usual." "Rained without intermition." "A blustering rainey day." "A hard rain all the last night we again get wet." "Rained verry hard." "Confined on a tempiest coast, wet." The swollen river carried with it the trunks of uprooted trees, "maney of them nearly 200 feet long"; as they spun around and around on the current, they often came close to capsizing the expedition's canoes. "Those monsterous trees—" wrote Clark, summoning the vocabulary of the uncanny to convey the gross abundance of this landscape.
In 1947 Theodore Roethke came west to Seattle, drawn here by the offer of a job in the English department at the University of Washington. The city itself ("a kind of vast Scarsdale . . . no bars for anything except beer and light wines in the whole of Seattle") was tame and provincial, but the surrounding landscape roused Roethke, as it had roused Vancouver, to flights of concentrated pathetic fallacy. Before 1947, his poems had been full of emotional turmoil projected onto a vivid vegetable world of crocuses, geraniums, cyclamens, peaches, butternuts, pear trees, and spiders—a world enclosed by the same fences that bordered his father's market garden and nursery in Saginaw, Michigan. In the Pacific Northwest (" . . . the peaks, the black ravines, the rolling mists / Changing with every twist of wind . . . ") Roethke found a nature that was extravagant enough to give physical body to the extremes of his own morbidly dishevelled nature.
His new poems mapped a wild, volcanic, thickly forested region of the heart and mind. In the geological melodrama of the Washington landscape, he found a spectacular objective correlative to the upheavals of his mental life—the uncontrollable ascents into mania, the whiskey, the compulsive womanizing. His last collection, The Far Field, posthumously published in 1964, is an inspired gazetteer of places that are simultaneously states of mind and visitable destinations within easy reach of Seattle. "Journey to the Interior," for instance, is both a fine description of driving on a logging trail in the Cascades (Roethke bought his first car, a Buick, in 1950, when he was forty-two and was thereafter an enthusiastic—and alarming—motorist) and a lightly encoded account of a life spent skirting the edge of insanity:
In the long journey out of the self,
There are many detours, washed-out interrupted raw places
Where the shale slides dangerously
And the back wheels hang almost over the edge . . .
As the mountains represented the menacing heights, the rivers, lakes, and sea afforded renewal and balm. Roethke wrote beautifully about water, its movements and stillnesses. In the mental hospital, he spent long hours in hydrotherapy; sane, he found another kind of hydrotherapy, fishing for coho salmon from the Oyster River resort on the east coast of Vancouver Island, watching birds on Lake Washington, walking on the rocky margin of Puget Sound, watching small waves break. From "The Rose":
I live with the rocks, their weeds,
Their filmy fringes of green, their harsh
Edges, their holes
Cut by the sea-slime, far from the crash
Of the long swell,
The oily, tar-laden walls
Of the toppling waves,
Where the salmon ease their way into the kelp beds,
And the sea rearranges itself among the small islands.
Near this rose, in this grove of sun-parched, wind-warped madronas,
Among the half-dead trees, I came upon the true ease of myself,
As if another man appeared out of the depth of my being . . .
It was exciting to watch Roethke making himself at home in western Washington by discovering that western Washington had always, as it were, been inside himself. To the view that I could see from my own window, Roethke attached names and meanings that went far deeper than Vancouver's. Of all the incomers to the Northwest, who had put this landscape to use and made cognitive sense of it, from fur traders and timber barons to aeronautical engineers and Dutch bulb-growers, Roethke was the most generous: if a stranger had as baggage nothing except Roethke's Collected Poems, he would have a solid imaginative foothold here.
In 1949, Bernard Malamud left New York to take a job as an instructor in the English department at Oregon State College in Corvallis, lately an agricultural school. In 1961, he returned to the East Coast, where he had been appointed writer- in- residence at Bennington College in Vermont—and published his third novel, A New Life, a bitter comedy about a New York Jew, an English instructor, who finds himself stranded in a narrow-minded town in the wide-open country of the Pacific Northwest. Malamud's revenge on Oregon (as it was generally perceived by Oregonians) had for a long time been my favorite campus novel—though for years I believed that it was set in an invented landscape, a fabulous Far West that Malamud had cooked up in his Manhattan fastness.
I had come across the book in 1964, in the paperback carousel at the new service station at Newport Pagnell on the M1 motorway. The cover was suggestive. Above the blurb, "He found strange refuge—love with another man's wife," was a drawing of a young woman reaching for the zip of her Levi's. The man in the background was small and wore a hat. I knew Malamud's name from the stylized short stories of New York Jewish life in Idiots First. I hadn't heard of this surprising novel.
I read it in a sitting and have owned three separate copies since, but it wasn't until around the beginning of the second copy that I woke up to the fact that Malamud's "Cascadia" was Oregon, not an urban Jewish fantasy of some Eden far beyond the range of the road atlas. I hadn't then been to the United States, and the landscape described by Malamud—a green paradise infected by the encroaching spectre of Senator Joseph McCarthy—rang no specific bells for me. It read like the landscape of allegory, and worked so well in those terms that I wasn't tempted to go looking for its latitude and longitude.
In the book, Marathon, Cascadia, is a rigidly conformist college cow-town, with a winning football team and a paranoid contempt for Reds, misfits, and intellectuals. Seymour Levin, "from the East," "formerly a drunkard," an admitted liberal with a beard, is destined for a painful roasting in this 1950s version of a Puritan township enjoying a witch trial. At every turn in the story, the philistinism and uncharitableness of town and college are set against a landscape of mountains, forest, and ocean so ironically magnificent that any reader bred to the landscape of Newport Pagnell must have doubted its literal existence. A New Life seemed to me to be written in the freehand, fantastic tradition of the Jewish folktale: Malamud was painting the richness and promise of the idea of America—and its betrayal by a mean-spirited citizenry, people too small to deserve to inherit their gigantic land.
It slightly diminished the novel to learn that there were "originals" (or so my knowing American informant claimed) of the Fairchilds, the C. D. Fabrikants, the Buckets and Bullocks, and that Malamud's poisoned Arcadia was drawn directly from the life—that Marathon was Corvallis, sixty-five miles down the road from Portland. This American, a Berkeley professor, thought I was offbeam when I claimed the novel was a work of ambitious fabulism. No, he said, the landscape of the Pacific Northwest was in itself an unrealistic stretch of country—it was just naturally fabulous.
The uncanny again. Twenty-five years on, I sat out on the deck of the house on Queen Anne on a sunny day in autumn when the visibility was good, rereading A New Life for the umpteenth time. To the right lay the Cascades, to the left the raised and snowy edge of the Olympics, and in the middle the mixed woodlands of the rolling suburbs of Seattle. A big ketch was sliding through the poplars. The sun made the print jump on the page, but now I very nearly had the opening of the novel by heart:
. . . They were driving along an almost deserted highway, in a broad farm-filled valley between distant mountain ranges laden with forests, the vast sky piled high with towering masses of golden clouds. The trees softly clustered on the river side of the road were for the most part deciduous; those crawling over the green hills to the south and west were spear-tipped fir.
My God, the West, Levin thought. He imagined the pioneers in covered wagons entering this valley for the first time, and found it a moving thought. Although he had lived little in nature Levin had always loved it, and the sense of having done the right thing in leaving New York was renewed in him. He shuddered at his good fortune.
"The mountains to the left are the Cascades," Pauline Gilley was saying. "On the right is the Coastal Range. They're relatively young mountains, whatever that means. The Pacific lies on the other side of them, about fifty miles."
"The Pacific Ocean?"
Just off to the side of the page margin, there was a flittering disturbance in the holly tree in a neighbor's yard. I shifted my attention from Cascadia to Washington, from the 1950s to the 1990s. A big flock of yellow-bellied waxwings had settled on the holly and were distributed on its branches like so many ornaments on a Christmas tree.
High over the city, above the muffler shops and 7-Elevens and steep streets of pastel-colored frame houses, an eagle wheeled, sublimely.
I was with Seymour Levin. My God, the West—

I am using Spring Webservice (2.1.0) Client to send a very simple Message to a Soap UI Mock Webservice. (Hello World style, no namespaces)
Before Sending the DOMSource via the SpringWebserviceTemplate it is extracted from a jdom2.Element as jdom2.transform.JDOMSource. (JDOM 2.0.2)
The Transformer is Saxon 18.104.22.168.
While calling the Spring Webservice Template function sendSourceAndReceiveToResult the net.sf.saxon.IdentityTransformer throws a NullPointerException when executing the transform(DOMSource,responseResult) function.
Since DOMSource is available at that point I do not know what could have gone wrong.
Stacktrace tells me the Nullpointer was thrown at: net.sf.saxon.lib.SerializerFactory.getReceiver (line 239).
It would help me greatly if you could speculate on possible causes.

Using a method similar to the one described here, I can see the total number of queries being made in Wordpress when I load a page.
Now I'd like to display all database queries that are being made when a page loads. This would allow me to see who my biggest resource hogs are, without having to go through the process of elimination of all my plugins and theme scripts.
What would be the best way to display all database queries made by Wordpress?

Healthy Picnic Food Ideas
Lighten up your summer outings with these healthy picnic recipes and tips.
By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD/LD
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
For many of us, packing a picnic basket and heading off to the beach, soccer field, or park is a wonderful rite of summer. But traditional picnic foods like fried chicken and potato salad can wreak havoc on your diet. The good news is that with a little tweaking, you can enjoy a picnic without compromising your waistline. Here are some healthy picnic food ideas sure to delight everyone.
American Dietetic Association spokesperson Kerry Neville suggests finding healthier alternatives or limiting portions of these familiar picnic foods and beverages:
Instead, aim for a picnic basket that contains a bounty of colorful fruits and vegetables; lean meat, fish or chicken; and a whole-grain salad or two.
Healthy Picnic Food Idea No. 1: Use Nature's Bounty
Summer picnics occur at the height of the fresh fruit and vegetable season. And the more colorful produce you add to your menu, the healthier the meal.

About Yves Simon
As an artist, French singer-songwriter Yves Simon (born in Choiseul, France, 1944) lived two lives. On one hand, he was a writer, publishing almost one book a year since 1971 and eventually being rewarded (in 1988 and 1991). On the other hand, he was an almost as prolific recording artist, having released around twenty LPs since 1967, though his two first outings remained under the radar. He actually was spotted in 1972 with the release of an EP, Les Gauloises Bleues, earning him major opening act opportunities (George Brassens, Maxime LeForestier, Philippe Chatel). Though he has quit playing live from 1977 to 2007, he remained active, even if less prolific, after a set of successful releases displaying his classic but eclectic influences, ranking from Dylan to Brassens. ~ Olivier Duboc, Rovi

Researchers found that needle sticks and other accidents on the job expose medical professionals to diseases like HIV and Hepatitis. Past investigations have suggested that most of these infections were not contracted while working.

Ameren Missouri is warning its customers to be alert for phone calls from scam artists who threaten disconnection of electric service unless a payment is made immediately.
In one incident, according to a press release from Ameren Missouri, a customer said she received a call at her business. She said the caller said her account was delinquent and she had to pay immediately over the phone. She became suspicious and hung up.
"Our approach is to work with our customers to resolve any payment questions," said Michael Moehn, senior vice president, Customer Operations. "If they're ever approached by someone who claims they represent Ameren Missouri and they use intimidation to press for payment, they should hang up and call us at 1-800-552-7583."
Ameren Missouri offers these tips against scammers:
• Never give your credit card, debit card, Social Security, ATM, checking or saving account numbers to anyone who comes to your home, calls or sends an email requesting this information.
• Never allow anyone into your home who wants to check your electrical wiring, natural gas pipes or appliances unless you have scheduled an appointment or have reported a natural gas leak and the person has proper identification.
• Ameren Missouri employees carry photo identification, which includes name, employee number and an official Ameren Missouri logo.
• If you suspect someone is impersonating an Ameren Missouri employee, end the conversation and immediately call Ameren Missouri, 1-800-552-7583.

Luis Ortiz, Alleged Cop Shooter, Held Without Bail
He did not enter a plea in a court appearance today.
The man accused of shooting NYPD officer Kevin Brennan in Brooklyn on Tuesday night was charged with attempted murder today and was ordered to be held without bail for a crime the prosecutor called "an assassination attempt." Luis "Baby" Ortiz reportedly remained quiet during his arraignment, a sharp contrast to his "perp walk" yesterday, where the suspect told the press, "Yeah, take a picture of me," blew kisses, and pledged allegiance to the Latin Kings.
The New York Times reports that "dozens" of police officers attended the hearing today as their wounded colleague remains in recovery at Bellevue Hospital. The prosecutor called the shooting an "evil" act by an evil individual, while Ortiz's defense claimed, "There's no statement that he did the shooting."
Surveillance footage reportedly shows a scuffle between Brennan and Ortiz, followed by the officer going limp, and Ortiz getting away. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ortiz, who did not enter a plea, "managed to get his gun hand free and shoot Brennan at point-blank range behind his right ear."
The defense called the prosecutor's language "highly theatrical" (not unlike his client's public showing yesterday, which made the cover of the Daily News). "This was a political speech," Ortiz's lawyer said. "What we should have heard were facts." The case goes to a grand jury February 6; Ortiz faces 40 years in prison.

Historical Traveler Reviews Coconut Malorie Ocean City
Pleasant Suprise
My husband and I stayed at the Malorie for a quiet weekend get-away!! At first I was apprehensive about staying at the Malorie due to the reviews that it received. However, since my husband organized this special trip, we decided that we would go and if it didnot work out we would leave early. To my suprise our room was very nice and the staff was plesant. The elevators were old but overall our stay was very peaceful. We are planning on spending a week at the Malorie in July.
Pleasantly Surprised by this hotel
After reading unfavorable reviews, we took a chance and booked anyway and were pleasantly surprised. We had a room on the 4th floor overlooking the bay and Fagers island. Room was clean, housekeeping was more than adequate and furnishings were relatively new and clean and spacious.
Horrible Customer Service
We visited this hotel 9/17-9/19/04 and the rooms were a mess. Housekeeping never serviced our room, there was not a smoke detector in the room, mold was growing on the vents and there was feces and/or blood on the inside of the bathroom door. We complained to the front desk who told us "From what I hear, all of the rooms are that way." Since we returned home I have called, emailed and faxed the General Manager with no response. I would not stay there again.
We left early- it was so bad!
We exchanged (LOST) a timeshare week to stay at this dump. I was under the impression that the Fairfield Name stood for quality or at least cleanliness. The first room they assigned us to was repulsive. Severly stained furniture. ripped carpeting, threadbare sheets and blankets were among the conditions we encountered. We insisted upon getting another room. The replacement room was no better. When I questioned the staff as to the conditions we experienced, they replied,"We are a new resort with Fairfield, and they are changing a little at a time." My suggestion would be to tear down the place and start over again. I have stayed at Fairfield timeshares all over our country. This one is not only a disgrace to the Fairfiel Name but also to Clean and Healthy Vacationing. We could only tolerate the place for three of our seven night stay. THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING!!
Never again
I go to Ocean City almost every summer. This time me and my wife decided to stay here. The web site makes this place look so much better than it really is. Check in went fine, after that it was all down hill from there. The elevators to to room took forever. When we stepped out of the elevator into the hallway there was wallpaper peeling off the walls and water stains on the ceiling. Once in our room it smelled moldy and damp. The bathroom wasn't even cleaned, the toilet didn't work and the sliding doors out to the balcony were broken and wouldn't close. I didn't even want to sleep in the bed because it just felt clammy and dirty. Needless to say it wasn't a good time. We won't be staying there again.
A great time but...
We recently stayed at the coconut Malorie from July 24 to the 27th.
With a check in time at 4:00 P.M. this seemed like a wasted day.
Management was very nice in allowing us to check in at 12:00 noon. This allowed some much needed pool time. I was disappointed to see that there was no alcohol served at the Oasis bar but they did offer to keep the beverages cold for us. As noted in a previous post, the upkeep of the hotel is lacking in several areas. Patches in the wall covered by duct tape was the most common offense. The elevators are in need of a serious over haul. That is the end of the negative aspect. The staff on a whole was very pleasant and willing to help at every turn. Fagers Island is in a word the best. We recommend Coconut Malorie very much.
Pleasant hotel, hopefully getting better
We were at the Coconut Malorie from July 11 to July 18, 2003. It was our 3rd trip there. We bought a time share there 3 yrs. ago. Each year it gets better. New balconies were done over the winter, new duct work was done, a snack bar at the pool, the lobby prettily updated. They still have much to do. New carpets, better beds ( ours was the original, 8" off the floor). The view out towards the bay is exceptional. The staff is trying, the breakfast muffins and daily paper were a new addition for us. Everyone tried to be very helpful. We could see the improvements, and anxiously await the further improvements the salespersons promised. We are banking on Fairfield to continue to do what is necessary to make the Coconut Malorie a 5 star hotel. We plan to return next summer.
Nice hotel, but upkeep problems
We stayed at the Coconut Malorie from July 12-14, 2003, the hotel is in easy walking distance of the ocean even with a couple of handfuls of stuff, surfriders, coolers, etc. There is a 7-11 at the corner which is EXTREMELY convenient to the hotel. I found the lobby to be well kept but the entire hotel is in dire need of a nice refurbishing. While everything still functioned somewhat, you felt as if you were in a hotel with much more possiblity than it had. The location is wonderful, with dramatic views out of the windows but the room felt as if you were in a luxury hotel in a third world Carribean country. Our refrigerator was iced over, the kitchen sink was well worn, but functioned well, the bed was a bit worn and uncomfortable. The elevators could use major work as they were slow and worn, but they were nice and spacy. The stay was not terrible but for the price, the Fairfield management could sink a few hundred thousand dollars into the resort and have one of the premier hotels at Ocean City. The hotel is transitioning to become a time share and as is the case in most of these, hotel guests feel a bit slighted as they are not the time share guests.
The place to stay
We stayed at the Coconut Malorie July 5-12th. The front desk staff went out of their way to see that we had anything we requested. I was impressed by the cleanliness and the upkeep. Supplying freshly baked muffins in the evening for breakfast the next day was a special touch you don't often find. I would recommend the Coconut Malorie as THE place to stay in OC and we will definitely be back in the future.
The good, the bad, the rip-off
We stayed at the Coconut Malorie Hotel on the bayside. Rooms are very different than your general hotel rooms, Haitain atmosphere, all rooms have view of the bay and balconies, and the breeze and sunsets are beautiful. The hotel is only a block away from the beach, and crossing the Coastal Highway isn't bad, if you're careful and cross at the lights. There is a 7-11 almost next door, and Tubby's at the corner. Good snacks and sandwiches, but the place is kind of a dump. The nightclub across the footbridge gets very noisy at night. I didn't mind. It was fun sitting on the balcony listening to the music and watching the people, but the noise goes on into 3 AM, which isn't good for two kids sleeping (trying to sleep) on the pullout sofa in the living area. The housekeeping staff turns your bed down at night, and brings you the next mornings continental breakfast: muffins, orange juice, and fresh sliced honeydew melon. The muffins are delicious, WHEN ANTS AREN'T CRAWLING INSIDE THE DISH! They bring the muffins on a porcelin plate, covered in saran wrap. The first morning there, my son was going to have a muffin, but when he took the saran wrap off, there were ants crawling all through them!! (Yuck!). I threw the muffins out and left a note for the maid, explaining what happened. The next night they brought the muffins in one of those tight locking restaurant carry out clear containers. There were no ants, I made certain, and then to avoid a further incidence, I put the container in the "fridge". The next night, there were the muffins again, in the dish, covered with saran wrap, sitting on the counter. Guess who came along for the ride!? There were the ants again, crawling through the muffins. This time I took the muffins, plate, and all, down to the front desk. The girl on duty was extremely rude, (I was polite), told me, "well, I don't know if we have any muffins left or not...." < totally missing the point that there were ants in the ROOM and their FOOD. To make an even long
up. The muffins were in a plastic, tightly sealed container, AND IN THE REFRIGERATOR! I mentioned the incident at check-out, that girl apologized and made a note of it. The Coconut Malorie has 2 VERY SLOW moving elevators, one sounds like its on its last run. The Fager's Island restaurant that is across the foot walk, is a HUGE rip-off. Way over priced and not that good. You can get a better meal at BJ's South, for less money. Not as fancy, but just as good. If you want to spend some money, have an EXCELLENT meal in a nice atmosphere, try the Hobbit Restaurant. Another rip-off restaurant is Captain Bob's. They advertise "on the bay". You have to be there to see it, it's difficult to explain, but it is NOT on the bay, there is no view, and the food is lousy, cold, and the dishes and silverware were dirty, service was poor as well. Ocean City is a nice place, we weren't there long enough to enjoy some of the other restaurants. Mulligan's was one we wanted to try, the one near Berlin, but we never made it. We will probably go back, DEFINATELY re-visit The Hobbit Restaurant, but not stay at the Coconut Malorie. When I go on vacation I like to go with my family (not uninvited little creatures! Smile!)

An observation / comment rather than a bug ...
The 'default value' field option (seems to) work during output ... so if no other value has been assigned, the field uses the default for outputted data.
That initially confused me - I thought it was a 'default' value for INPUTTING data ... so if you didn't specify something else, this would be the value. As it is currently set up, if you want a 'blank' field, you can't have a default value, even if ninety nine times out of a hundred you want "x" to be the value. If you specify '' for the hundredth, it'll see the blank field and output 'x' if that's what you've set as a default.
Would be handy for this to be an input option rather than an output one, or have an additional 'input' default.

A disappointing season for the Arizona Cardinals caused the franchise's front office to clean house in the coaching department.
Bruce Arians replaced Ken Whisenhunt as the team's head coach, a move ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski has touted.
Jaworski, who played with the Chiefs in 1989 while Arians was the team's running backs coach, told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo it was a tremendous hire by the Cardinals and he was hoping Arians would get the job.
"I think clearly he's going to bring some innovative ideas to the Cardinals," Jaworski said. "But even above and beyond that, Bruce is really a good guy, he's an organized guy, he understands the discipline it takes to be successful, he's been with great organizations so he knows how great organizations get it done, so Bruce brings a lot to the plate."
Beside Arians came two familiar names looking bolster the coaching staff with their expertise.
Tom Moore, 74, will serve as assistant head coach/offense. He brings 34 years of experience as a coach in the NFL, with 12 of them as offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts during the Peyton Manning era.
"How can you not love Tom Moore," Jaworski said. "That acquisition, you talk about a guy who understands the quarterback position as well as anyone. With Tom, it's not going to be a complex sophisticated offense; it's going to be a very efficient offense."
Jaworski believes Moore's offensive scheme will help solve the Cardinals' quarterback woes from the past season.
"Quarterbacks play well for Tom Moore," he said. "If I'm a QB in Arizona right now, I am thrilled that Tom Moore is on board."
The club's hire of defensive coordinator Todd Bowles also received praise from Jaworski.
"Todd is tough, that defense will be tough, it's something he preaches," he said. "He'll come in and do a fantastic job with that defense.
"I really think this is going to be a terrific staff, he's got nothing but quality coaches with outstanding experience and these guys all know how to coach."
