San Antonio Spurs star guard Tony Parker will miss about four weeks of the NBA season with a sprained left ankle, the team announced on Saturday after the Frenchman underwent an MRI exam.
Parker, who led the Spurs with 21.0 points and 7.6 assists a game, suffered the injury late in the third quarter in Friday's 130-102 home victory over Sacramento when he landed awkwardly after evading a defender while going for a layup.
The Spurs, who have the NBA's best record at 46-14, have won more than three-quarters of their games with Parker in the lineup but only about half of their games when the French playmaker is not in the San Antonio lineup.

Cobra Founder Korn Dies at 92
Carl Korn, who in 1948 founded the company that would become Cobra Electronics, passed away. Korn was 92 years old.
Cobra began as a TV repair business, originally called Central Television Service Company. The company, later known as Dynascan, went on to develop the first CB radio in the 1950s, before changing its name and becoming a consumer electronics company in the 1980s.
Korn retired as CEO in 1985 and remained as chairman through 2008.
"Carl Korn created and guided a legendary company, serving as a true embodiment of innovation among his peers," CEA president and CEO Gary Shapiro said in a statement. "He provided support to CEA in many ways, especially by encouraging the participation of Cobra's leadership within CEA."
"Cobra, which started as a small television repair business in Carl's garage, now sells products in more than 75 countries and 55,000 storefronts. We thank Carl for his service to CEA and the CE industry and for setting an example of entrepreneurship for us all."
See Korn's obituary in the Chicago Tribune for funeral information.

Merkel's Party Shuns 'Stone Age' Greens Amid Tax-Rise Pledge
Germany's Greens party backed a campaign platform of tax increases that members of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic bloc said rules out a coalition after national elections in September.
Delegates at a Greens party convention in Berlin yesterday voted through plans to raise the top rate of income tax to 49 percent for those earning 80,000 euros ($104,000) a year or more, and to 45 percent from 42 percent above 60,000 euros. They also backed a "wealth levy" on the richest to pay down 100 billion euros of Germany's state debt over 10 years.
The platform "is a fiscal policy from the Stone Age," Ralph Brinkhaus, a parliamentary finance spokesman for Merkel's Christian Democratic Union, said by phone. It would harm Germany's economy, and "whoever espouses this doesn't belong in government," he said.
Less than five months before federal elections that will determine whether Merkel wins a third term, the Greens manifesto distances the party from Merkel's bloc and aligns with the policies of the main opposition Social Democrats. Germany's best-selling Bild newspaper, which frequently channels the government, floated a potential coalition between Merkel and the Greens last week, saying in an op-ed that it would be "new, exciting and, if it came to it, worth a serious go."
Poll Credence
Polls add credence to the potential for an alliance. While support for Merkel's CDU-led bloc gained one percentage point to 40 percent in a weekly Emnid poll published yesterday, her Free Democratic Party coalition partner dropped to 4 percent, below the 5 percent threshold to win seats in parliament.
With the SPD gaining a point to 27 percent and its traditional Green ally unchanged at 14 percent, neither camp has a governing majority in the poll of 2,440 voters conducted April 18-24. That raises the likelihood of a "grand coalition" after the Sept. 22 vote comprising Merkel's bloc and the SPD of Peer Steinbrueck, her first-term finance minister. However, an alliance between Merkel and the Greens would also be possible.
That option faded with the positions adopted at the Greens convention. Not only did the party recommit to a coalition with the Social Democrats, its partner in government from 1998 to 2005, it attacked Merkel's leadership during the crisis in the euro area that spread from Greece. Merkel has "shaken the foundations of European unity and solidarity" through her "savings diktat" and her focus on defending German interests, according to the final resolution agreed on by Green delegates.
Tearing Apart
"I don't think the CDU-Greens are an option at the federal level," Jan Techau, director of the Brussels center of the Carnegie Endowment, said in a phone interview on April 26. "It would tear both parties apart."
The Greens tax platform was disputed even among party members. Winfried Kretschmann, the prime minister of Baden-Wuerttemberg, home to world-leading companies such as Daimler AG and SAP AG, warned in an open letter to his party's leadership on the eve of the convention against harming businesses through tax increases.
"We'll do nothing that hurts our small and medium-sized companies," Kretschmann, whose state boasts Germany's lowest unemployment at 4.3 percent, said in an interview with Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper published April 26. These businesses, known in Germany as the Mittelstand, "compete in global markets and need to invest massively in research and development."
"We've already made clear in our program that we won't hurt the Mittelstand's ability to invest," Priska Hinz said in an e-mailed response to questions. All the same, it's "right to reassess all measures before implementing them when entering a coalition," she said.
'Debt Brake'
Germany's federal budget situation makes tax increases unnecessary, Merkel's Christian Democrat budget spokesman in parliament, Norbert Barthle, said in an e-mailed comment. The structural deficit will be in balance as the government reins in spending in compliance with a "debt brake" and tax revenue grows, said Barthle.
"It's the wrong time to increase taxes," said Barthle. "It would harm economic growth."
Bjoern Saenger, a Free Democratic Party lawmaker, said in a text message that any plan to raise the top tax rate would hit the Mittelstand and skilled workers, "taking the ax to the positive economic development in the country."
Merkel, whose CDU is the last of the main parties to formulate policy for the election, said last week that she wouldn't raise taxes if re-elected for a third term. Neither is there much leeway for tax cuts, she said.
The Green party is in the midst of a "civil war" between those who founded the party as a radical alternative and "a new urban bloc of money-making Greens who drive BMWs and are emotionally attached to the party rather than ideologically" said Techau. "This will be a battle that we will see going on for years to come."

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
Quote from: Mari on May 08, 2008, 08:30:49 PM
But I would love to learn more about him....
His dates: 1834-1900. Most of his works form a series, "Women of the French Court." He wrote in general on women of the Valois court, the women of the courts of Louis XIV and Louis XV, but also more specifically about the following women, most of whom are the subject of more than one of his works: Marie Antoinette, Josephine, Marie Louise, the Duchess of Angouleme, the Duchess of Berry, Marie Amélie. He also wrote on the Napoléons and the revolution of 1848.
I am sorry that I sounded a bit harsh about the author's reliability, but there are many of these books in the library I use, and most appear to reflect the author's colorful imagination in his attempt to bring his heriones to life -- a "biographical technique" which I find to be completely goofy.

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
Yes, and remember He was writing in the Victorian Era and they tend to sentimentalize. He apparently is still a cited source. It reminds me of the George Bancroft School of thought in the American Revolution... same type of reading. Thank you for the further information.

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
I am doing a study of genetics and I'm using the Bourbon-Artois line as one of my topics; as such, I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether there exists any portraits of the various illegitimate children of the French kings and princes?
In particular, I am wondering about the children of Louis XV, as well as Charles, Duc de Berry.
Any help would be appreciated.

Charles Auguste Joseph, comte de Flahaut

Can anyone confirm or deny that? And does anyone have a picture of that son?

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
I found something else that may help!
Louis XIV had 13 known illegitimate children. Most of those were by either Louise-Françoise de Le Baume Le Blanc, Mademoiselle de La Vallière, or Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemar, marquise de Montespan, and those who survived infancy were legitimated.
Louis XV had many mistresses, and at least 15 illegitimate children are known. Only one was legitimated: Louis-Aimé de Bourbon (1762-87), called l'abbé de Bourbon, son of Anne Couffier de Romans (1737-1808). His arms, granted in 1783, were: France differenced by an orle and a riband in bend sinister gules. (Michel Antoine, Le Dur Métier de Roi, 1986, p.299).
Charles-Ferdinand d'Artois, duc de Berry and younger son of the future Charles X, had a long relationship in London with Amy Brown, during the Bourbons' exile. Two daughters came of it; when the duc was assassinated in February 1820 in Paris, he asked on his deathbed to see his former mistress and his children and entrusted them to the royal family, which treated them well. The elder, Charlotte-Marie-Augustine (1808-86), was made comtesse d'Issoudun and married to the prince de Faucigny-Lucinge. The younger, Louise-Marie-Charlotte (1809-91), was made comtesse de Vierzon and married to the Athanase-Charles, baron de Charette (the present (1996) French foreign minister Hervé de Charette is her great-great-grandson). In the legitimization letters, Louis XVIII granted to the two young women the following arms: the comtesse d'Issoudun, Azure a pairle couped between three fleurs-de-lys or, on a chief ingrailed of the second three fleurs-de-lys of the first, the comtesse de Vierzon: Azure a tower inclined argent, on a chief ingrailed or three fleurs-de-lys azure. The ingrailed chief recalls the traditional ingrailed border of Berry (although the duke's arms were different), and the charges both recall the arms of the cities. Note that Issoudun and Vierzon are both cities in the province of Berry.
I don't know if your interested in all of this but here it is anyway!
Gaston d'Orléans had an illegitimate son, Louis bâtard d'Orléans (1628-92), comte de Charny. Philippe II d'Orléans had by Mademoiselle Florence, dancer at the Opera: Charles de Saint-Albin, abbé d'Orléans (1698-1764), legitimized 1708, archbishop of Cambrai. By the comtesse d'Argentan: Jean-Philippe d'Orléans (1702-48), le chevalier d'Orléans, grand-prieur de France, leg. 1706: Orléans an orle and a baton couped in bend sinister argent. Louis-Philippe Id'Orléans had by Mme de Villemomble: Louis-Etienne, comte de Saint-Phar (1759-1825) and Louis-Philippe, comte de Saint-Albin (1761-1829), both legitimized 1815.
There are numerous bastard sons in the Bourbon family. Every duc de Bourbon from Louis I to Jean II included has illegitimate sons. Some names of note are: Hector and Perceval, sons of Louis II (Perceval bore on a bend a semy-de-lys, over all three bends sinister PA). Jean I had Jean, abbot of Cluny (1485, bore France a bend sinister), and Alexandre among others.
One interesting line is that of the comtes de Roussillon, Charles I, duc de Bourbon had by Jeanne de Bournan Louis bâtard de Bourbon (1486), legitimated 1463, comte de Roussillon: France a bend sinister raguly gules, his crest was a fish roasting over flames! (PA). he married Jeanne, bâtarde de France, natural daughter of Louis XI: France a bend sinister argent, and had only Charles (1507 s.p.). But Louis also had a natural son Renaud bâtard de Bourbon (1483), archbishop of Narbonne: Argent on a bend azure a semy-de-lys or and a fillet in bend gules. He in turn had two natural children, Charles bâtard de Bourbon (1504), bishop of Clermont and Suzanne, both bearing: Argent on a bend sinister azure a semy-de-lys or and a fillet in bend sinister gules, all within a bordure ingrailed of the last (Suzanne obtained permission to bear the same arms from the duc de Bourbon). Another natural child of Louis was Jeanne, legitimated 1492, whose arms granted in 1490 were: Quarterly argent on a bend sinister azure a bendlet sinister gules between six fleurs-de-lys or, and chequy or and sable.
Jean II, duc de Bourbon had Mathieu bâtard de Bourbon (1505), seigneur de Botheon, known as "le grand bâtard de Bourbon", who bore Bourbon a bendlet sinister. From him also came the line of Bourbon-Malause bore Argent on a bend azure a semy-de-lys or and a riband in bend gules. The line of Bourbon-Busset bears France a baton couped in bend gules, on a chief argent a cross potent between four crosslets or. Originally the Bourbon-Busset arms were Argent on a pale azure a semy-de-lys or and a bend gules, on a chief Jerusalem.
Jean II de Bourbon, comte de Vendôme, had Louis (1510), bishop of Avranches: Bourbon-Vendôme a bend sinister raguly.
Louis de Bourbon, comte de Soissons (1641) had a son Louis-Henri de Bourbon-Soissons, comte de Dunois: France a baton couped in bend sinister and a bordure gules (D'Hozier) whose only daughter by his wife Angélique-Cunégonde de Montmorency-Luxembourg was Louise-Léontine-Jacqueline, married to Charles-Philippe d'Albert, duc de Luynes.
Henri III Jules de Bourbon, prince de Condé, had a daughter Julie de Bourbon (1668-1710), Mademoiselle de Châteaubriant, legitimated, bearing France a baton couped in bend sinister gules; married to Armand de Lesparre de Madaillan (D'Hozier).
The line of Dunois-Longueville comes from Jean (1403-68), comte de Dunois, companion in arms of Jeanne d'Arc, who bore Orléans a bend sinister argent . His son had already changed the arms to Orléans a bend couped argent . It ended with Charles-Paris d'Orléans, duc de Longueville et d'Estouteville (1649-72). An illegitimate line from Longueville is Rothelin, which bore in the 18th c. quarterly or a bend gules (Baden) and or on a pale gules three chevrons of the field (Neuchâtel), overall France a bend sinister couped and a label argent (Orléans-Longueville), although the author of the line, François bâtard de Longueville (1600) bore Orléans a bend sinister couped argent. Charles d'Angoulême, father of François I, had Jeanne, legitimated in 1501, married to Jean de Longuevic and mother of Jacqueline married to the duc de Montpensier; Madeleine, and Souveraine legitimated in 1521.

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
Thanks for the response.
The information is interesting, if a little bit confusing (when the discussion of the various coats of arms begins).
One of the more interesting illegitimate children of French royalty (whom I discovered after I began this post) is Charles of Angouleme, the son of Charles IX, one of the last Valois kings (right?).
According to Wikipedia.org, he apparently had sons, but I cannot find any information on that family - can anyone help?

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
In this page you can see further information on Charles IX's descendants:
By the way, the pic you posted shows Charles, Duke of Angouleme, but it's not Charles IX's son, it's Francis I's youngest son, born 1522 and die 1545.
Hope to have helped you!

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
Thanks for clarifying that picture, otherwise I would have kept thinking it was Charles IX's illegitimate son.
Further thanks for the information, it's all very good.
My other interest in the illegitimate children of French royalty was whether any of them actually achieved anything? I mean some of them were Dukes, but that was only because their fathers were Kings or Princes.
Did any of them actually make a genuine contribution to history in the way that illegitimates like William the Conqueror, James FitzJames or Don Juan of Austria did?
I can't find one that actually showed any worthwhile skill or talent... perhaps Cesar de Bourbon, son of Henry IV?

Re: Illegitimate Children of the French Royals
IMO Emilie bears resemblance to Napoleon I both as an infant and as a young woman. I apologize not having my source at hand but there was a little girl born to one of the officer's wives on St Helena who had a dead on resemblance to him. Was it Montholon? Sorry I like to have my sources handy but gave this book on the poisoning of Napoleon I to the public library. Won't do that again.
I'm redefining myself at present--any suggestions?

I have seen a few pictures of her and I have a few in my books. Right now my scanner is down, but I can scan them in when it's back and running.
To me she looks a lot like her mother.
According to the book I have...the one I mentioned in a previous post here is the big intro of Pellapra:
"Caroline immediately sent the news to Napoleon by courier. Nobody, however, seems to have informed him of the birth of his other child, which had occurred in Lyons on 11 November. The mother was Francoise-Marie-Emilie Pellapra, the pretty scatterbrain whom he had met in Lyons in the spring of 1805 and who had eagerly followed him to Paris to be seduced in an alcove adjoining his map-room in the Tuileries. She was slim and attractive, dark-haired and blue-eyed, married to a dour minor government official who was far from appreciating the honor conferred on his wife by the Emperor. Later, when Napoleon heard of the birth and rewarded the cuckolded husband with a post as tax collector, Alain Pellapra relented a little, but his first instinct was to deny paternity of the child. After sending Francoise back to her native Lyons for the birth, he insisted on the child being left there with his mother-in-law, Madame Louise Leroy. The baby girl was given a mixture of her mother's names, her grandmother's and that of Napoleon's deceived wife, for it was still popular to name children after Our Lady of Victories, the gracious Josephine, and Madame Pellapra was giddy-minded enough not to see anything odd in it. For most of the next four years little Emilie-Louise-Marie-Francoise-Josephine stayed in the Leroy apartment in the center of Lyons. From the balcony she could peep across the plain of Les Brotteaux, the scene of some of the most hideous atrocities of the Revolution. Day by day her cheeks plumped into an Italian chubbiness, her small nose gently curved into a budgerigar beak. There could be no doubt she was a Bonaparte."
Well...I don't know. She doesn't resemble the Bonaparte's that much. And really? An alcove of a map-room?
I have a vested interest in the Leroy family of Lyon as I am descended from it. A keen amateur genealogist and a published historian, I have studied in varying degrees of depth, the Leroy family, especially at the time of Napoleon.
There is no doubt that the Leroys owed their 'national' importance' to Napoleon - the brothers Leroy, Printers and Editors of a thriving concern, virtually ruled Lyon in the fifteen years of Napoleon's 'reign'. He was a constant visitor to both brothers, Amable and Michel (Michel was my ancestor), to their houses in Lyon and Paris. According to the few letters that remain in the family, Napoleon was chez Amable in 1805, for a couple of fleeting visits. He did shower the family with gifts and important posts. When he disappeared the Leroys were hounded from Lyon by the patriciate as 'Nouveaux', although they were a respectable leading family of Riom whose services to the community and to the nation had been greater than most of the patriciate of Lyon. Napoleonic gifts have descended to various descendants of Mlle Leroy, yet the question as to her father remains unanswreed, except that her mother was pregnant when she married Pellapra, and Pellapra seemd to have been granted rather too prestigious posts for his mediocre talents!

I have the same problem. There is no translation and I haven't ordered the book myself until now, it's also quite expensive and I don't speak french. That is the problem. But when I order it, I will post info.

BMI View: Implementation of the free essential drug scheme in India will benefit the population, as the private sector currently accounts for the majority of healthcare expenditure. However, extensive bureaucracy, exemplified by the requirement for support from individual states and union territories, will limit the scheme's roll-out.
According to India's Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, the newly elected Narendra Modi administration is keen to improve healthcare. As a result, the health ministry announced in June, its intention to provide 50 essential drugs free of charge to every citizen in India. Vardhan stated that these drugs will provide 75% of the population's healthcare needs. These 50 medicines include treatment for pain, infection, hypertension and diabetes. The programme will be rolled out in phases, and will focus on efficient procurement, quality control and rational drug use.
This is not the first time the idea of free, universal provision of drugs in India has been proposed. In June 2012, the former Indian Minister for Health and Family Welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad stated that the country's 12th five-year plan (2012-2017) will include a new initiative to supply essential drugs for free at public health facilities in order to provide affordable healthcare to all patients. [1] The INR286bn (USD5bn) free medicines programme was scheduled to start in October 2012. However, the programme was shelved in May 2013 due to financial constraints and the government's inability to implement a drug procurement policy. Instead, each state was told to formulate its own scheme for free drugs and seek funds under the National Health Mission.

2005 Ford Freestar Minivan SEL 4dr Minivan (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
there is a well documented transmission/cruise/torque converter/PCM relationship issue I have experienced. Tranny blew and dealer says not torque converter to blame. It was a sudden and catastrophic failure.
Loved the van until the problems started then it has been all down hill from there to the poit to where we are considering turning it in to a plant pot cause it don't move anymore.
Get Ford to take them all back like Toyota did with there trucks and give incentives to purchase a new vehicle
No, this is not a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna - both of them IMO are overpriced and you might as well as go for the Korean vans then. The FORD is a capable, SAFE, comfortable and quiet people hauler. It has sufficient room and handles fine. It feels and drives built solid! The steering is good and the brakes are strong. The motor is quiet and is plenty of torque whether it's loaded or not - 4.2L will do that. And yes, it does not get 20 mpg in town but the engine barely works to get the job done.....that means a long life providing it's taken care of. We have a friends with an 4.0L AERO STAR with 190K on it...going strong! A good van and a good deal!
SAFETY RATINGS! Quiet ride. Solid built Airbags galore Adjustable pedals - my wife is 5 2 power doors. A good deal!
The seat cushions could be a bit higher in the back but for kids they are just fine. Independant suspension would be nice but then an axle is good for loads and towing. Gas mileage is
Don't buy a Freestar van. Strict with Honda or Toyota vans. This is my last Ford. This van orginal cost was $30K. It cost me $3,000 to get this van fixed with only 40K miles and I still have problems.
This was a 2005 SEL model, top of the line interior and accessories. The only positive feature I have found.
Front Wheel Transmission Failure. Ford needs to recall these lemons
Since 2001, I had a 1998 Ford Windstar with 3.8Liter. after being fed up with 1998 Ford Windstar with blown head gasket which the coolant level keeps going down and I had transmission replaced prior in 2007 for 1998. Since January 2nd 2009, I had to trade in for a 2005 Ford Freestar which it was available at the dealer. The 2005 version is lot better and big improvements over the 1998 version. However, I noticed that the 2005 version is 1200 lbs heavier than the 1998. But it feels very stable ride, except the fuel mileage. I am getting around 19 - 20 mpg even though it stated for 24 mpg. I use the vehicle mainly for my work and carrying loads once in a while and also do some towing.
DVD player even though I have not had an opportunity to sit throughout watching movies yet. I am the only driver driving the vehicle.
Need better mileage, possibility 5 or 6 speed automatic transmission and reduce weight for gas mileage. AWD would be great for the vehicle.

We present results from a user study of task performance on streamtube visualizations, such as those used in three-dimensional (3D) vector and tensor field visualizations. This study used a tensor field sampled from a full-brain diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) dataset. The independent variables include illumination model (global illumination and OpenGL-style local illumination), texture (with and without), motion (with and without), and task. The three spatial analysis tasks are: (1) a depth-judgment task: determining which of two marked tubes is closer to the user's viewpoint, (2) a visual-tracing task: marking the endpoint of a tube, and (3) a contact-judgment task: analyzing tube-sphere penetration. Our results indicate that global illumination did not improve task completion time for the tasks we measured. Global illumination reduced the errors in participants' answers over local OpenGLstyle rendering for the visual-tracing task only when motion was present. Motion contributed to spatial understanding for all tasks, but at the cost of longer task completion time. A high-frequency texture pattern led to longer task completion times and higher error rates. These results can help in the design of lighting model, such as flow or diffusion-tensor field visualizations and identify situations when the lighting is more efficient and accurate.

The Port Chalmers resident has built up her label Senorita
AweSUMO, and has just been asked to showcase her graduate
collection - from her time at Otago Polytechnic - at a
month-long eco festival in and around north Auckland.
Three outfits from her 2011 collection Chimerical Conundra,
constructed from donated and found fabric scraps, will be
modelled in the Ecofest North fashion show at Birkenhead on
March 28.
Miss Clements (33) said having her garments in the MUST
Sustainable Fashion Showcase would boost her profile and help
spread the good word about ethical fashion.
''It's being organised by a group of young people who are
into sustainability, which I think is really important. I'm
trying to show people that it's possible to be fashionable
and have fashion but not kill yourself or hurt other people
in doing so.''
Miss Clements was part of an international ethical fashion
forum, aimed at transforming the ''unsustainable'' global
fashion industry.
She was selected to show her graduate collection in the 2012
iD Dunedin Fashion Show, and this year has been preparing
garments from her latest collection Te Warewhare Whakapau for
the 15th anniversary iD Dunedin Fashion Show in April.
Miss Clements said the literal translation of her menswear
and womenswear collection was ''the warehouse consumed'' and
it was constructed entirely from fabric found in Dunedin.
''I also used some garments from transfer stations which I
embroidered. It's about showcasing what's actually already
out there and utilising commercial offcuts and found items.''
Te Warewhare Whakapau, her first 10-piece collection, was
shown last September at the New Zealand Eco Fashion Exposed
show in Wellington.
Miss Clements said after iD she would prepare her next
collection for the annual Wellington show, in July this year.
She hoped it could link to a London event later this year.
''I'm hoping to take a range of basics to Wellington which I
can possibly mass manufacture. I'm looking at zero-waste
pattern-making and also getting in contact with local
manufacturers to do that for me.''
Miss Clements was also preparing to open her fashion studio
in central Dunedin.

In OS X Mail.app (version 6.2 from OS X 10.8.2), I can see how to automatically add a signature for all new messages, but I do not want it automatically added when I reply to a message. Is there a way to achieve this?
Not sure if anyone ever answered this. I came here looking for a solution which was ever so simple.
Open Mail.app, go to Mail -> Preferences or use the key-combo Command,
Select the Tab that says 'Signatures' and uncheck the box that says to have the 'signature' above quoted text.
Unfortunately, I do not believe this is possible in Mac Mail. I have been seeking a similar solution for a while, and I've yet to discover one.
There are ways you can make it a little easier to manually add and remove the signatures you want. For example, you can set your default signature to None, but then manually add your signature for all new emails. This preference is controlled under Mail > Preferences > Signatures. (To access this preference, you must select a mail account that the signature preference will be applied to in the leftmost pane. The box will not be clickable if All Signatures is chosen in the left pane.)
For me, this works acceptably - I reply to many more emails threads than I send new emails - but it may be different for your workflow.
Turning off
While the signature is still included in the message, choosing to place the signature after the quoted text may achieve the effect you are hoping for, as many email recipients will read all the way to the bottom of the quoted text in each reply to see the signature. It does not remove it entirely, however.
As you know, Outlook 2011 offers this feature on the Mac. I have heard that Mozilla Thunderbird supplies this functionality as well, but I cannot confirm that myself.

Indian Stocks Advance Most in a Month on Flows; Bharti Jumps
Indian stocks rallied the most in a month, led by lenders and industrial companies, as overseas investors added to their holdings of domestic shares for a 28th straight day.
The BSE India Sensitive Index, or Sensex, rose 0.8 percent to 19,417.46, the most since Nov. 30, at the close. Volumes on the gauge were 32 percent lower than the 30-day average. ICICI Bank Ltd., the second-biggest lender, rose the most in a month. Bharti Airtel Ltd., the largest cell-phone operator, jumped to a two-week high. Larsen & Toubro Ltd., the biggest engineering company, gained for the first time in five days.
The Sensex has risen 26 percent this year, headed for its biggest annual jump since 2009, as government steps to open the economy to foreign investment lured offshore funds. Overseas funds were net buyers of domestic stocks for a 28th day on Dec. 24, the longest stretch of net purchases since a record 41-day streak through Oct. 27, 2010, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"Flows from overseas would be pretty good" in the new year, Sanjay Dutt, a director at Quantum Securities Ltd. in New Delhi, told Bloomberg India TV today. "U.S. elections are out of the way, Europe is sorting itself slowly and a clear signal from India's central bank is that it is going to focus on growth than on inflation. That means you will see a 50-basis point cut in rates at least by March, if not January."
Reserve Bank of India Governor Duvvuri Subbarao signaled higher odds of a reduction in interest costs, lifting investor confidence even after he held the benchmark rate on Dec. 18 for a fifth policy meeting. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said Dec. 19 it sees "high likelihood" of a 50 basis points cut in January.
Policy Focus
While the RBI kept the repurchase rate at 8 percent and held the banks' reserve ratio at 4.25 percent, ebbing in the inflation rate will allow monetary policy to "respond to the threats to growth," the authority said Dec. 18. RBI's next policy review is on Jan. 29.
ICICI Bank rallied 2.4 percent to 1,148.65 rupees. State Bank of India Ltd. increased 1.7 percent to 2,370.85 rupees. Drugmaker Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. added 1.7 percent to 753.7 rupees, while Bharti Airtel advanced 2.9 percent to 317.4 rupees. Larsen jumped 2.3 percent to 1,622.35 rupees. Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd., the biggest power-equipment maker, increased 1.1 percent to 230.2 rupees.
The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange of India rose 0.9 percent to 5,905.60. The BSE Mid-Cap Index added 0.7 percent, the most since Dec. 10. India VIX, which gauges the cost of protection against losses in the Nifty, tumbled 2.7 percent to 14.10, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The markets were closed yesterday for Christmas.
CARE Debut
Credit Analysis & Research Ltd., a rating agency, surged 23 percent in its trading debut. The stock closed at 922.55 rupees, compared with the sale price of 750 rupees. Care, as the company is known, raised 5.4 billion rupees selling 7.2 million shares this month, making it the third rating agency in the country to go public.
Crisil Ltd., an Indian unit of Standard & Poor's, closed little changed at 1,039.85 rupees, and ICRA Ltd., a local unit of Moody's Investor Service, dropped 1.6 percent to 1,453.45. Neither of the three stocks are part of the Sensex
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed 13 percent this year as of yesterday as U.S. and Chinese economies showed signs of recovery and central banks around the world took action to shore up growth. The Asian equities benchmark is trading less than 1 percent from its highest close for the year.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh began a campaign in September to revive economic growth from the weakest levels since 2009 by reducing fuel subsidies and opening up retailing and aviation to foreign investment. The passing of a banking bill on Dec. 18 was the latest in the series of such measures, which have accelerated foreign inflows.
Overseas funds have plowed a net $24.1 billion into local stocks this year, the highest among 10 Asian markets tracked by Bloomberg, excluding China. They bought a net $719.5 million of on Dec. 24, the most since the $776 million purchased on Oct. 5.
The rally has pushed up Sensex's valuation to 15.3 times estimated earnings, near the highest level since March, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is valued at 12 times, the data show.

I managed to figure out how many empty boxes will be left given n amount of throws, just having a hard time figuring out the minimum number of throws necessary so that we have no empty boxes. Would it have to do with the binomial distribution?
The problem is a classical one, usually called the Coupon Collector's Problem. There is a substantial literature. The Wikipedia article linked to gives a reasonably good summary.
If $T$ is the "time" (number of balls) until no box is empty, then the expectation of $T$ is fairly straightforward to get at. It turns out that $$E(T)=nH_n,$$ where $H_n$ is the $n$-th harmonic number, that is, $H(n)=1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n}$. The number $H_n$ grows like $\ln n$. For finer estimates, google harmonic number.
The distribution of $T$ is very complicated. But there are reasonably good tail estimates that let us estimate $\Pr(T\gt t)$ with reasonable accuracy.
If $T$ is the "time" (number of balls) until no box is empty, then the distribution of $T$ is easy to describe if you are willing to use Stirling numbers of the second kind. We have for $t\geq n$, $$\mathbb{P}(T\leq t)=n^{-t}\, n!\,{t\brace n}\quad\mbox{and}\quad \mathbb{P}(T = t)=n^{-t}\, n!\,{t-1\brace n-1}.$$

Loose cows end up at storeJanuary 04,2013
WAITSFIELD — Vermont State Police say 10 cows were running loose for around an hour in Waitsfield late Tuesday night.
The Belted Galloway cows were owned by farmer Hadley Gaylord. They were located in the parking lot of the Village Grocery on Main Street.
Trooper Amber Haag said state police received the call about the wayward cows around 11:37 p.m. She said the cows were having trouble getting traction on the roads because of the salt, but none of the cows fell or were injured.
Haag said the cows were eventually herded back to their pasture by Gaylord's cattle dog and the escape did not cause any traffic disturbances. Haag said she responded in case she needed to escort the cows back home.MORE IN This Just In

• In the last ten years anaerobic organisms have emerged as the major infecting agent in surgical patients. While these groups of organisms including Bacteroides fragilis, clostridia, and anaerobic cocci persist, there has, in addition, developed In the last few years a virulent group of nosocomial infections, and modern management of sepsis is primarily directed at gram-negative and anaerobic infections, which include nosocomial infections, for example, those caused by the Serratia group. Much has been learned about control of infections from the patient who has sustained thermal injury. While topical water-soluble antibiotics have been a remarkable advance in the care of the burn patient, systemic and subeschar antibiotics have proved essential in the management of severe burn injury. There is increasing evidence that there is remarkable interference with host defense mechanisms in patients who have sustained burns or significant trauma or intraabdominal infection. The patient sustaining nonthermal traumatic injury also sustains reduction in host resistance. Because of this and the additional initial contamination, in the traumatized patient antibiotic therapy should be started early and as a therapeutic measure. Newer localization techniques, including sonography and computed axial tomography scanning, have helped localize abdominal infections early. Specific antimicrobial therapy may thus be begun as an adjunct to the surgical therapy of intra-abdominal infection.

Firearms advocate sticks to her guns: 'Firearms are a healthy part of
society,' says pistol-packin' Vancouver school trustee
The attractive woman posing with a .45-calibre Colt on the front of the
Canadian Firearms Journal this month is not your typical gun defender.
Nor is she your average public school board trustee.
But Sharon Gregson is all that and more. She's a long-time New Democrat,
a mother of four and an advocate of publicly funded daycare who recently
found her voice as a firearms champion. She admits it is an odd
combination, especially since she was afraid of guns until three years
ago when she received one as a gift.
"Before that I had been quite anti-gun," she said in an interview. "It
is kind of weird for somebody on the left to be enthusiastic about a gun
sport but, nevertheless, that's what I do and that's who I am.
"I am very committed to my social justice principles. I wish that as
Canadians we had spent the money that we spent on the gun registry on a
national child-care program, because that would have created a far
healthier society than we are now."
Her Vancouver outing as a gun enthusiast occurred Monday when she was
interviewed on a radio program talking about her competitive shooting,
her three firearms and her recent application for a U.S. permit to carry
a concealed weapon when visiting the U.S.
The response was overwhelming. "It was huge. Much, much, much, much
bigger than I would ever -- in a million years -- have guessed," she
said later. "People are incredibly curious about why I'm interested in
guns and the fact that I'm an elected person and a mother and a
child-care advocate."
She also claims to be the most tattooed elected official in Canada,
although there's been no national show-and-tell as yet.
The Vancouver school trustee said she is speaking publicly about gun
ownership to encourage a reasonable discussion in Canada with decisions
based on research rather than emotion.
"By speaking out as a legal gun owner who is concerned all the time
about safe storage, safe transport and safe handling of firearms, and
who enjoys firearms as a sport and as a collector, I think I'm putting
forward another part of the discussion and another perspective."
Her interest in guns blossomed in 2003 after her partner, Thomas
Lockhart, a competitive shooter, gave her the Colt .45.
She bought a membership at a shooting range, began to practise and was
soon competing with IPSC, the International Practical Shooting
"There's a huge amount of skill involved in shooting successfully and I
don't think that's recognized often enough," she said. "Some people like
golfing, some people like hockey, I like shooting."
Gregson has also offered her support to a National Firearms Association
campaign promoting the rights of women to carry concealed firearms for
protection. She has applied for a permit in Utah to carry a concealed
weapon in the U.S. and expects to receive it soon.
Utah is one of only a few states that grants such licences to Canadians,
and Gregson said it was "prudent" to take advantage of that opportunity,
especially given that gun laws change frequently.
Asked if she wants to carry a concealed weapon in Canada, she replied
that while the situation is different here than in the U.S., there have
been times when she would have been safer if she had been carrying a
The response to her radio interview Monday was mixed, she said. Some
people were pleased she had broadened a debate while others said Canada
should ban firearms altogether. As of mid-afternoon, there had been no
word from the Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE), under whose
banner she was elected to school board.
"I think most of my colleagues will be surprised that I'm a gun
enthusiast," said the former president of the NDP riding association in
"I think my fellow trustees might be looking at me a little differently
at the meeting tonight -- wondering what other hidden interests I have."

Gun group wants women to fight for permits
Vancouver school trustee featured in campaign for right to carry concealed guns
Last Updated: Monday, December 18, 2006 | 8:43 AM PT
A national firearms lobby group is urging Canadian women to obtain concealed gun permits in the United States and then use those permits to seek the same right in Canada, in order to protect themselves and reduce crime.
"Women will be able to protect human life from criminal violence," David Tomlinson, president of the National Firearms Association, told CBC.ca in an interview on Monday.
Canadian law does have a provision for certain individuals to carry a gun, Tomlinson noted. "But if a woman applies for one she is absolutely guaranteed that she will be refused one regardless of the circumstance," he said.
"What we want to see happen is a sorting out of the unholy mess that government has made of law in this area," Tomlinson said from his office in Edmonton.
"The problem with gun control is that it has no effect on violent criminals," he said.
Vancouver NDP activist the face of the campaign
Vancouver school trustee Sharon Gregson posed with her handgun on the cover of the latest issue of the Canadian Firearms Journal, as part of the campaign for concealed weapon permits.
The NDP activist told CBC News she has qualified for a concealed firearm carry permit in Utah — a permit that's valid in 30 U.S. states. However, the permit is not valid in Canada and Gregson wants the law changed.
"I have sent the prime minister an e-mail to say that I find it curious that, as a woman, I'd be allowed as a visitor into the United States, I'd be allowed to carry a weapon — a concealed firearm to protect myself and my children — but that I don't have that same right in Canada," she said.
Aim is to deter criminals, group says
Sheldon Clare, president of the NFA in British Columbia, told CBC News his group believes that arming even a few women in Canada will deter assailants.
Allowing women to carry guns, he said, will send a message to would-be criminals that "what they might perceive as formerly defenceless women … might now not be so easy of a target."
Gregson also noted that she might be the only school trustee in Vancouver with a gun.
"I'd put money on it," she said. "There aren't a lot of people on the left who are pro gun. Put it that way."
Currently in Canada a federal handgun registry remains in place, as do bans on automatic and assault weapons.
However, Stephen Harper's Conservative government has introduced legislation to abolish the long-gun registry.
Last June, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day introduced a bill to amend the Criminal Code and Firearms Act so that owners of non-restricted rifles and shotguns will not have to register their weapons.

B.C. trustee won't conceal her love of guns
Vancouver mother wants relaxation of handgun laws, but colleagues want her to stop shooting off her mouth
From Tuesday's Globe and Mail
VANCOUVER — Vancouver school board trustee Sharon Gregson loves to shoot her Colt .45 handgun.
She's posed with her prized weapon on the cover of a national magazine and even went to the United States to obtain a concealed handgun permit, which is good in 30 states.
She thinks Canadians need to broaden their thinking about handgun ownership.
"There is a thinking that guns can only be bad and related to crime, and that's not my experience as a legal gun owner, participating in a gun sport," Ms. Gregson said, explaining why she decided to get a handgun permit in Utah.
Recently, Ms. Gregson sent an e-mail to Prime Minister Stephen Harper urging him to relax handgun restrictions.
"One of the frustrations with being a gun owner [in Canada] is that the rules keep changing and so it seemed prudent to apply for this licence while it was available to me."
But some of Ms. Gregson's colleagues have urged the trustee, a married mother of four, to stop shooting her mouth off.
Trustee Clarence Hanson said her comments send the wrong message to kids.
"I was quite shocked," Mr. Hanson said after he heard Ms. Gregson on a morning radio program yesterday, in which she argued in favour of easier access for permits to carry a concealed gun, especially for women who feel threatened.
"As a school trustee, my concern is basically, we have a number of children . . . who sometimes feel harassed and bullied.
"I don't want them to get the impression that this is the way to protect yourself," Mr. Hanson said.
"If they get a feeling that a school trustee who represents them thinks it's okay to protect yourself in this way, . . . we're going down a dangerous road, I think."
But Ms. Gregson said she won't retract her comments and invited Canadians to start a national discussion about gun ownership, safety and crime rates.
Ms. Gregson said she appeared on the cover of the National Firearms Journal to lend her support to its campaign to loosen Canadian restrictions on carrying handguns.
Currently in Canada, only target shooters and collectors can get a permit to buy a handgun.
And rules for transporting the weapon are restricted to taking it back and forth to a gun club or gunsmith.
"I think that there should at least be more discussion about the issue surrounding guns in Canada," she said.
"Right now in Canada, you can't own a handgun for the sole issue of self-defence. You can have it for target shooting and for collection.
"I don't think it's appropriate to say we shouldn't even discuss protection issues and safety issues."
Ms. Gregson became interested in guns after she received the handgun as a gift.
At a shooting range in the suburban Vancouver municipality of Maple Ridge, she began competing in International Practical Shooting Confederation tournaments in which shooters complete an obstacle course while firing at targets.
"You know, some people like bowling, some people like knitting. I like shooting," Ms. Gregson said.
"The people who are very good are absolutely amazing to watch. It's completely entertaining and their skill level is just so impressive."
Ms. Gregson said she did not mean to suggest that kids in the school system be urged to carry guns.
However, she did suggest that the outcome of the Montreal massacre might have been different if any one of Marc Lepine's 14 female victims had been carrying a weapon.
"I've heard some people say if one of those women had been armed, [Mr. Lepine] might not have been able to commit such a horrendous crime if they weren't all completely defenceless against that onslaught," Ms. Gregson said.
"But in no way have I ever suggested this has anything to do with kids carrying guns to protect themselves."
However, Mr. Hanson said he wants to talk to Ms. Gregson about her comments.
"I think when we become a school trustee, you've raised the bar a little bit for yourself. So you have to help set an example out there."
The head of the Canada's main gun-control lobby denounced Ms. Gregson's comments as well as the National Firearms Association campaign that is trying to make it easier for women to carry handguns.
"If arming to self-protect worked, the U.S. would be safe and it's not," Wendy Cukier said in a telephone interview.
"It's an absurd comment. It's completely contrary to Canadian traditions. It has no basis in fact, and for someone who is associated with schools to be making those comments is particularly alarming, especially a woman."
The Edmonton-based National Firearms Association, which is spearheading the permit campaign, has argued that women can better protect themselves from personal attack and reduce crime if they are permitted to carry handguns.
"It's about safety," said the association's president, Dave Tomlinson.
"Most women feel relatively helpless. They regard themselves as not having any practical way to defend themselves.
"Police protection is a myth. Police only come after the crime has been committed."
Ms. Sharon Gregson has joined CanadianGunNutz this morning (2006-Dec-19, tues). I let her know of this site also, so she may join up here too.
Good for her. Good to put firearms in a positive light and maybe get some media attention for our northern neighbors

This is a very significant event up here. Firearms legislation has been in the spotlight since the last election, but the focus has been almost entirely on further restrictions, more gun bans, etc.
Although firearms groups have brought up the benifits of CCW in the past, this is the first time it's been really examined by the mainstream media as anything other than a right-wing pipe dream.
Introducing CCW as a 'womens rights' issue, with an otherwise left-wing politician as our initial spokesperson has changed the equation. I really hope this story has legs and that it stimulates some real discussion on the issue.

The province of British Columbia and the city of Vancouver are directly adjacent to the US state of Washington. The Utah CCW permit is valid in Washington, making it especially useful to a BC traveler. The Utah permit is also valid in the states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, all of which border western Canada.
I can see why she picked Utah.
A Canadian with some 'big ones'...figuratively speaking, of course...
Maybe this will bolster some positive debate 'Up North'...
Personally, I quit going into Canada because of the way I was treated at the border...long story...(never wear NRA patches or decals when entering Canada!)...

Ms Gregson, I love you! You go girl!!!!
He has been doing this for a year or so now, and around 2000 Canadians now have a UT permit.
The irony, of course, is that a foreign government (that would be you guys!) trust us more than our own government does.
"The problem with gun control is that it has no effect on violent criminals,"
Thats right!

2008 Obama's Party
posted by August 18 at 17:10 PMon
Dana Goldstein and Ezra Klein are out with an interesting examination of what Barack Obama is doing with the Democratic party now that he's in control. The answer: a lot more than you might think, but with fewer answers about long-term intentions than you might want.
What Obama wants is, in some ways, the key question. If Bill Clinton's project for the Democratic Party was mostly ideological, Obama's is mostly organizational. Clinton sought to change the party's ideas; Obama is more interested in building its infrastructure. But for what? Obama's health-care plan was the least ambitious of the three major candidates, and his recent gestures toward the center on government wiretapping, choice, and gun control have some of his supporters concerned. At times, Obama can seem so focused on building that it's unclear if he's really thought through the blueprints.
