The Need for Retrospective Review of Regulations
July 8, 2013
No task in government is as Sisyphean as trying to stop bad regulatory ideas from becoming law. For three and a half years, that was Cass Sunstein's job as administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (the branch of the Office of Management and Budget tasked with reviewing the regulatory activities of executive agencies). He discovered early on that being the regulatory cop for the White House puts one in the cross-hairs of every single administrative agency seeking to have its regulations approved.

Many big predictions in this bracket. You may be ranking the Region 20 teams a little ahead of themselves (like last year). Duchesne is coming in really strong. Liahona can play lights out such as the game against Duchesne where they lost in overtime. LCA is definitely loaded with its standard recruiting practices (woah we just got rid of Was Acad). I agree that first game with BV and Duchesne may just be a championship game. Looking like every round will be fun to watch. See you all there!

To 1a Roller : I agree with your post except for your cheap shot at LCA. LCA runs a class school and if thier focus was to recruit and win state titles they would not have volunteered to move up to 2a being forced back to 1a this year. Be classy and show them the respect they have earned.

It would be nice to see the editor be right in a Piute Vs. BV rematch of the 2010 title game, but I'm predicting a BV choke, possibly against Duchesne the first round. BV is too easily beat on the mind games and rely too much on the 3 ball, the reason behind their two losses in the Region Tourney. Add that to the atmosphere of SVC, they are destined to choke!

2afan: You may be right. I apologize to all LCA fans. They look really good. I am familiar with their program and I don't remember seeing the varsity players playing through their middle school. I hope you see where the maybe misguided assumption comes from.

To 1a roller: some have been at LCA since pre school others 4th grade some jr high some high school. This year only one foreign exchange student and a move in from New Mexico are new. Because of HillAFB and tuition lots of turnover. bigler is playing for Northridge this year instead of LCA.

Bigler is a fantastic player and a big loss. He really shows his talent with the Snowbears (AAU). Greenhill being injured is also a big blow. He is dangerous from the outside as well as in. LCA is actually my pick in the upper bracket unless their semifinal opponent gets hot on the 3's. Piute can get hot as well as Green River. I think the lower bracket should be some well matched teams in the first round. Who will be an underdog? Thats always fun to see the rise of Wayne in the Region 20 tourney.

Great comments. This one will be interesting. Liahona is a dark horse, but able to disrupt the high hopes of others. DNews has them winning Wednesday and losing to Wayne on Thursday. I also have them facing Wayne, but winning to setup a great rematch with Duchesne on Friday. And yes, I am a Liahona parent. Potential is there if they can toughen up and finish the end of tight games. All the best to all of the teams. 1A BBall rocks!!

"Islands in the Sky" Top 5 Page for this destination Chiricahua National Monument by paulscuba
Chiricahua National Monument Travel Guide: 114 reviews and 242 photos
I was looking for a unique less visited place to go hiking and came upon Chiricahhua national monument in SouthEast Arizona. The park is part of the Islands in the Sky ecosystem. These are created by mountain ranges existing in the desert. The weather patterns are such that the mountains get 2-4 times more rain that the desert areas below.
Also the Chiricahuas are far enough south that birds/plans and mammals from the N. Mexico environment can be seen here. Actuall 4 ecosystems merge here; Rocky Mountains, Sierra Madre Mountains, Sonoran & Chihuahuan Deserts. Jaguars are occasionally spotted in the national Forest that surrounds the monument and a variety of oaks and other plant life from all the other various ecosystems grow symbiotically together here. THe sunny side of canyons has one set of plant life and the shady side has another.
The uniqueness of this park is due to erosive effects on volcanic rock in this area. The area is not currently volcanically active but there are a large number of volcanic features in this area showing that it once was geologically active.

National Cancer Institute
Click Here
Cancer touches almost every person, whether it's the person themselves, their family or their friends. But more and more, treatments are coming out, and people are surviving and living long lives.
KBTX Medical Contributor Dr. Alan Xenakis from the Texas A&M Health Science Center was on Brazos Valley This Morning Tuesday to talk about dealing with cancer medically and mentally.
Tips provided by Doc X are listed below, and you can watch the video from Tuesday's interview.
You can also visit the website linked below for much more on cancer.
What is cancer?
Cancer is a term used for diseases in which normal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which they start
What are the main categories of Cancers?
The main categories of cancer include:
- Carcinoma - cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
- Sarcoma - cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
- Leukemia - cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.
- Lymphoma and myeloma - cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system.
- Central nervous system cancers - cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord.
An individual with the cancer is not the only one affected. Family members and friends are also influenced by changes in a loved one's health. What are tips to help family and friends cope with a loved one's diagnosis?
Feel free to ask the doctor questions if you accompany your loved one to his or her appointments. Write down questions so you don't forget them.
Be prepared for changes in your loved one's behavior and mood. Medications, discomforts, and stress can cause someone with cancer to become depressed or angry.
Encourage your loved one to be active and independent, as much as possible, to help him or her regain a sense of self-reliance and confidence.
Be realistic about your own needs. Be sure you are sleeping enough, eating properly, and taking some time off for yourself. It is hard to offer much help when you are exhausted.
Don't hesitate to ask other family members and friends for help. They will appreciate the opportunity.
Family members and friends of a person coping with cancer may also find themselves under a great deal of stress. How can they reduce their stress?
- Keep a positive attitude & accept events you can't control.
- Be assertive instead of aggressive. Assert feelings, beliefs, or opinions instead of becoming angry or combative
- Exercise regularly. Your body can fight stress better when you are physically fit.
- Eat well-balanced meals.
- Rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful events.
- Don't rely on alcohol or drugs to reduce stress.
- Consider joining a support group to share your experiences and learn from others. It may help to feel like you're not alone.
Should cancer patients and survivors get a flu shot?
Yes. People with cancer or a history of cancer should receive the seasonal flu shot, not the nasal spray vaccine. People who live with or care for cancer patients and survivors also should be vaccinated against seasonal flu. Additionally, CDC recommends that everyone aged six months and older get a 2010–2011 flu vaccine for the upcoming season.
What is the good news about cancer survivorship?
The good news – people are living longer after a cancer diagnosis. Nearly 12 million Americans are alive after being told they have cancer. Due to medical advances, people are living many years after a cancer diagnosis. About two-thirds of people with cancer are expected to live at least 5 years after diagnosis (2/3rds of cancers are preventable)

LRGH ER will more than double in size
LACONIA — The Planning Board this week approved the plan of LRGHealthcare' to renovate and expand the emergency department at Lakes Region General Hospital, which with the construction of new space and the renovation of existing space will more than double the size of the ER facility.
In 1986, the emergency department was moved to one of the oldest parts of the building and was last renovated in the 1990s. Mitchell Jean, director of risk management at LRGHealthcare, told the Planning Board, the project will address a number of issues hindering the operation of the department. The inadequate waiting space will be enlarged and storage space added to alleviate congestion in hallways where equipment is kept and, on occasion, patients are housed. The existing department is not on level ground, which hampers the movement of patients and access to the helipad, which requires transporting patients up a steep incline. Treatment rooms are small and separated only by curtains, compromising the privacy of patients and increasing the risk of infection. There are no means of segregating patients suffering from mental illness, who may be held at the hospital while awaiting a bed at New Hampshire Hospital. The nursing station is awkwardly located and the radiology unit, with a CAT scan and MRI, are not convenient to the emergency department.
The project will add some 9,400-square-feet of new space to the 7,900-square-feet that currently houses emergency services. The ground will be leveled to eliminate slopes and inclines. Almost half the existing space will be thoroughly renovated. The department will have two entrances — both with heated pavement, one for ambulances leading directly to the clinical area of the facility and another for patients leading to a triage desk and waiting room.
There will be two trauma rooms near an elevator that will take those patients that must be airlifted to another hospital to the helipad on the upper level. Altogether there will be 20 treatment rooms, each of 300-square-feet, including one designated and equipped for bariatric patients, divided evenly between the new and existing space and served by two nursing stations. Finally, for patients with mental illness there will be four secure holding rooms with dedicated access. The department will have direct access to the operating room, ensuring the timely treatment of trauma patients requiring immediate surgery.
As part of the project the radiology unit housing scanning equipment will be relocated to 2,700-square-feet of newly built space adjacent to the emergency department. The proximity of the radiology unit will support the partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital to diagnose and treat patients with strokes by means of video conferencing and image sharing technology.
Along with the construction and renovation at the hospital, a parking lot with 72 spaces will built at the corner of Highland Street and Fairview Street, an issue of concern to residents of Fairview Street, who are regularly disturbed by the lights and noise of personnel coming and going with the three shift changes at the hospital. One gentleman, who asked not to be identified, said, "this will be a killer for us. We don't get any sleep."
Jean offered to erect a six-foot high fence and plant arbor vitae along the property line to shield the abutting properties from the lights and noise. City Councilor David Bownes, also a member of the Planning Board, told Jean the abutters "have listened to you and want you to listen to them (the hospital) and all be good neighbors." Jean assured the board that LRGH would do all it could to minimize the impact of the parking lot on neighboring properties.
Jean said that the cost of construction was estimated at approximately $13 million and the total cost of the project, including designing, engineering, equipping and furnishing the new emergency and radiology departments would by about $21.7 million. He expected renovation and construction to begin in August and to be completed in two years.

The St. Louis Rams are keeping the door open in trading away veteran running back Steven Jackson.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN:
Rams have fielded trade inquiries for RB Steven Jackson over past few weeks in advance of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline… say.ly/uhz4sR4— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 28, 2012
As tough as this may be for Rams fans to see, Jackson is 29 years old. In addition, St. Louis has two young backs, in Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead, who possess great potential.
Therefore, with Jackson on the trade block, let's check out the best teams on which he could have the strongest impact—provided that Jackson does end up in a new NFL uniform.

This works perfectly except when I'm entering data into input fields. I keep using the back arrow key to navigate the input field and end up taking myself back one page.
Are there any options that will:

MLB Team Report - Seattle Mariners - INSIDE PITCH
The decision to designate right-hander Jeremy Bonderman for assignment had less to do with the veteran pitcher's recent struggles and more to do with what's been waiting in the wings.
The Mariners' Triple-A rotation is filled with starters waiting for a break, and right-hander Erasmo Ramirez had done everything to warrant a call-up. While no official move had been made as of Wednesday night, Ramirez looks like the logical choice to fill Bonderman's spot in the rotation and start Thursday's game against Boston.
Ramirez, 23, finished the 2012 season with four consecutive quality starts, going 1-1 with a 2.96 ERA in the process, but he lost out to rookie Brandon Maurer in the battle for a spot in this year's rotation. Ramirez ended up on the disabled list for Triple-A Tacoma due to a strained triceps muscle but has been solid (3-3, 3.09 ERA) since returning to action.
In Ramirez, Maurer and up-and-coming prospects James Paxton and Taijuan Walker, the Mariners have a few possible options for their rotation but have had a hard time pushing aside the current starters. Veterans Joe Saunders and Aaron Harang have done just enough to hold off the young competition, and so it was Bonderman who ended up being the odd man out.
Bonderman seems to have proven that he's past the 2010 Tommy John surgery that cost him two seasons, and for a long stretch in June he looked like a long-term solution for the Mariners.
However, struggles in back-to-back games ended up being Bonderman's downfall, and with Ramirez ready and waiting, there wasn't much reason to keep him around.
Bonderman, 30, might have some trade value because of his experience, but it's more likely that he'll end up getting released if he doesn't accept an assignment to Tacoma. Bonderman deserves another shot in the majors; it just won't be with a Seattle team that has plenty of young potential at its disposal.
MLB Team Report - Seattle Mariners - NOTES, QUOTES
STREAK: Lost two
NEXT: Red Sox (RHP Ryan Dempter, 5-8, 4.04) at Mariners (Erasmo Ramirez, 2013 debut)
--2B Nick Franklin came out of Wednesday's game because of a sore right knee that flared up in the seventh inning. "We'll see how he feels (Thursday)," manager Eric Wedge said. Franklin was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before SS Brendan Ryan took his spot in the batting order and homered in his first at-bat to lead off the eighth.
--RHP Stephen Pryor, who is currently on the 60-day disabled list due to a torn lat muscle, threw 25 pitches in a simulated-game situation Wednesday afternoon. "It was good," manager Eric Wedge said, adding that Pryor is scheduled to pitch another simulated game Saturday. There is still no timetable for Pryor's return.
--OF Michael Saunders has gotten well off Boston pitching this week. After a horrific two-month stretch -- he hit .204 in May and June -- Saunders has started to hit as of late, going 5-for-11 with three doubles and four RBIs in the first three games of the Red Sox series. He had a double in Wednesday's game.
--LHP Lucas Luetge still hasn't allowed an earned run since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma earlier this week, but his Wednesday outing was a bit misleading. Luetge entered the game in the sixth inning with two runners on base, and he gave up back-to-back singles to bring both inherited runners home before yielding a pair of unearned runs of his own.
--RHP Carter Capps had another rough outing out of the bullpen Wednesday night, even though he didn't allow a run for the first time in a month. Capps hit one batter and walked two others while loading the bases in the seventh inning. He ended up pitching 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, marking the first time in six appearances he has not allowed a run. Since June 16, Capps has allowed 14 earned runs over 7 1/3 innings.
--SS Brendan Ryan got his first at-bat in five games Wednesday, and he made the most of it. After serving as a defensive replacement for 2B Nick Franklin in the seventh inning, Ryan came to the plate in the eighth and led off the inning with a home run. Ryan has had only eight at-bats since the Mariners promoted SS Brad Miller from Triple-A Tacoma on June 28 and made him their everyday starter.
--RHP Tom Wilhelmsen regained his closer's job last week, but his Wednesday performance left plenty of reason for concern. Wilhelmsen started the ninth inning in a non-save situation and had more of the control problems that plagued him in June. He walked the first two batters he faced, threw a wild pitch, then gave up back-to-back RBI singles in his worst outing since June 21.
--RHP Erasmo Ramirez is the likely starter in Thursday's game against Boston, although the Mariners still haven't made anything official. Ramirez is 3-3 with a 3.03 ERA in seven starts at Triple-A Tacoma after struggling with a triceps injury early in the season. He looks like the probable fill-in for RHP Jeremy Bonderman, who was designated for assignment earlier in the week, although the Mariners have to make another move to clear a roster spot before Thursday's game.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Aaron struggled. He battled and tried to get through it. It wasn't a very good ballgame at all (for the team). We just didn't play very well." -- Manager Eric Wedge, on RHP Aaron Harang, who allowed seven runs in five-plus innings Wednesday in the Mariners' 11-4 loss to the Red Sox.
MLB Team Report - Seattle Mariners - ROSTER REPORT
--2B Nick Franklin (sore right knee) left the July 10 game. He'll be re-evaluated July 11.
--1B/OF Michael Morse (strained right quadriceps) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to June 21. He did running drills July 2 but did not run the bases as planned before the July 5 game because of damp conditions at Great American Ball Park.

--CF Franklin Gutierrez (torn right hamstring) went on the 15-day disabled list April 23, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on June 5.

Acclaimed historian Patton (The Pattons) focuses on the war correspondent persona and the band of bold adventurers who earned their keep on the frontlines in this detailed salute.

Russell, respected battle, an appreciation that found him in the thick of the bloodiest clashes including the Battle of Bull Run, the Austro-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian war, and the Russo-Turkish war. In a no-frills, straightforward narrative, Patton describes the backgrounds of the early pioneers, John Russell Young, George Smalley, Holt White, and Henry Villard, who embraced armed conflict and its horrors, while feeding their dramatic observations to The New York Herald and The New York Tribune. The American publications dueled with each other, such as when Smalley opposed sending untried reporters into the battlefield, instead preferring two experienced correspondents dispatched to each army's headquarters. Some excitement is generated with the sections of the wild and brilliant career of American painter-war correspondent Frank Millet, who bravely covered the 1877 war in the Ottoman Empire.

The first "war correspondent," William H. Russell of The Times of London, described himself and his profession as "the miserable parent of a luckless tribe." Others saw it differently: the war correspondent became the stuff of dreams and an urgent romantic calling. . . .
Now, Robert H. Patton, acclaimed historian, author of The Pattons ("Exceptional"—The Washington Post; "Truly remarkable"—John S. Eisenhower) and Patriot Pirates ("Soul-stirring—as good as reading a Patrick O'Brian novel, except that every word is true"—Michael Korda), rediscovers and celebrates, in Hell Before Breakfast, America's first war correspondents, forgotten today but legends in their time. Here are the men who, between 1850 and 1914, and particularly during America's Civil War and the Spanish-American War, led the most romantic and thrilling of lives on the edgiest frontiers of time and space, where empires fell and dynasties flourished; they were correspondents who saw the world, broke the story, were making the news during the years when newspapers made available the most foreign of landscapes and their circulation wars were revolutionizing contemporary life, shaping global events, and creating history.
Patton writes of the decades of lightning progress and high adventure, when America was emerging as a great power and the monarchies of Europe battled for dominance through a series of brief, bloody imperial wars; when the newly discovered electric telegraph enabled these extraordinary first-person dispatches to be splashed across the daily newspapers then proliferating on both sides of the Atlantic.
Through the eyes (and minds) of American adventurers, soldiers, and artists-turned-correspondents—Mark Twain and the painter John Millet among them—we see what they saw and what they brought to life: the Civil War, the Austro-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian War, the Russo-Turkish War. Patton writes about New York Herald reporter Henry Stanley, who led a caravan from the Tanzanian coast into the uncharted "cannibal country" and, after a 236-day trek, discovered the long lost and presumed dead Dr. David Livingstone . . . about Archibald Forbes of the London Daily News bringing to life in his dispatches the frantic assembly of barricades along Paris streets as royalists and Communists fought with bayonets following the Prussian invasion.
Here are the fearless young correspondents, among them Henry Villard of Bavaria, a journalist who covered the Civil War and ended up a financial titan, head of the Northern Pacific Railway and an early investor in the company that would ultimately become General Electric; and George Smalley, chief war correspondent of the New York Tribune, who watched for twenty-four hours as the Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia fought in the cornfields and woodlands around Antietam Creek.
These correspondents were at center stage and, through their on-the-spot reporting, became legends in their time. Their intrepid spirit and sense of adventure inspired generations of storytellers, explorers, artists, writers, statesmen and politicians, and even moviemakers—from Rudyard Kipling and Winston Churchill to Theodore Roosevelt, D. W. Griffith, and Cecil B. DeMille—men whose adolescence was shaped during this spectacular age of war correspondence.

-Becky Krystal, The Washington Post
"Highly entertaining; the long-lost, quintessentially 19th-century world of wars great and small and the brave and resourceful men who covered them."
-John Steele Gordon, Wall Street Journal
"'Hell Before Breakfast' takes us from the battlefields of Bull Run and Antietam to Europe's bloodiest pre-World War I conflicts... their intriguing tales, enough for three books, are worthy of resurrection. Patton's account showcases innovation, bravado, and showmanship... Patton's spirited chronicle evokes a lost age of journalism."
-Matthew Price, Boston Globe
"Patton follows a dozen of the 19th century's best war correspondents, from the battlefields of the Civil War to the deserts of Central Asia. The portraits of American, French, German, Russian and Turkish men and officers are sharply drawn, and some of the scoops, like the 'Bulgarian Horrors' of 1876 still send a chill up the spine."
-Geoffrey Wawro, author of A Mad Catastrophe and Director, University of North Texas Military History Center.
"Epic…splendidly written…Patton has once again proven that he is a gifted writer with a keen eye for chronicling their tales in a way that is both entertaining and insightful."
-Carlo D'Este, author of Patton: A Genius For War and Warlord: A Life of Churchill at War, 1874-1945
"A fascinating cast of characters…Patton details major conflagrations and social and technological changes amid the gore of war and the prose of reporters of another era."
Exploration of some of the unsung early war correspondents in New York and London who created the model for vivid prose and humanitarian alarm. With the installation of a trans-Atlantic telegraph cable connecting America and Europe in 1858, the race for newsgathering took off, while the eruption of the Civil War shifted reader interest from local scandal to "the exclusive battle dispatch that could be issued in an extra edition and hawked on the street at great profit." Patton (Patriot Pirates: The Privateer War for Freedom and Fortune in the American Revolution, 2008, etc.) captures the gritty, wild-eyed quality of trailblazing early newspapermen like John Russell Young, who made his name covering the Battle of Bull Run, and the Ohioan Januarius MacGahan, along with their exacting editors—only two women are featured: one is MacGahan's comely Russian wife, the other a wealthy humanitarian widow, Emily Strangford, who met the reporter while setting out to help victims of Turkish-Bulgarian violence in 1876. All the New York newspapers—e.g., James Gordon Bennett's Herald, Horace Greeley's Tribune and Henry J. Raymond's Times—competed with one another for the scoop, learning the value of "creating news instead of waiting to record it"—e.g., the Herald's sending the rookie reporter Henry Morton Stanley to Central Africa in pursuit of the incommunicado missionary David Livingstone. MacGahan and other American expat correspondents in Paris stumbled on the Franco-Prussian War; he was horrified by the bloody insurrection, taking pains to characterize the violence fairly in his emotional dispatches for the Herald, for which he was highly praised. Another visionary correspondent was the extraordinarily talented artist and writer Frank Millet, who plunged into covering the Russian-Turkish War of 1877 by crisscrossing Central Asia during an era of difficult land travel and illustrating his essays with tremendously moving sketches of the bloodied and wounded. These correspondents became heroes of their time and doubled at times as capable explorers. Densely researched, swift-moving account full of fighting detail.

Read an Excerpt
On the same night that Henry Villard was squirming through dinner with the Bennetts, the most famous newspaper correspondent in the world was bucking a nervous tide of African Americans hurrying down Meeting Street near his hotel in Charleston, South Carolina. The eight-thirty curfew bell had tolled. The slaves had half an hour to wrap up their duties and return to quarters. Any found on the streets after nine without a special pass would be arrested and punished.
The Confederate stars and bars flew over Fort Sumter at the mouth of Charleston harbor. Since leaving Baltimore four days earlier to begin a tour of the South for the London Times, William Howard Russell had found the region's war fever overwhelming: "I felt like a man in full possession of his senses coming in late to a wine party." Sumter's surrender had Rebel soldiers strutting around with cocky menace that Russell found laughable. He'd visited the fort earlier that day. The damage from the vaunted cannonade was "trifling," he sniffed.
He had the experience to back up his opinion. Two years after the Crimean War ended, he'd been plucked from comfortable London life and sent to India, arriving in January 1858. The native Bengal army had turned on its British colonial masters after long-festering discord was tipped into violence by new government-issue bullet cartridges greased with pork and cow fat, substances taboo to the Bengal army's 90,000 Muslims and Hindus. Rumors (false, but it didn't matter) of the army's impending forced conversion to Christianity had sparked a mass mutiny whose death toll quickly ran into the tens of thousands.
Most victims died in massacres and summary executions. One of the worst incidents occurred as a force of British redcoats closed on the Bengal-held town of Cawnpore. Panicked rebels hacked to death two hundred captive women and children and threw their bodies down a well. Russell, indulging his fascination for places "where great crimes have been perpetrated," toured the building where the killing occurred, its floor caked with drying blood. Workers who exhumed the bodies could barely express their trauma. "A sickening anguish," one said. "There is no object in saying more."
British troops answered the Cawnpore atrocity with firing squads and mass hangings; they strapped Bengal mutineers across cannon barrels and blew their midsections into the sky. "A glorious sight," said a British officer of a pile of two thousand dead natives. Russell denounced the actions as excessive and racist: "I believe we permit things to be done in India which we would not permit to be done in Europe." This scolding irked a British public steeped in hellish accounts of the Bengal army's barbarity, most of them unsubstantiated. One example described Anglo-Saxon babies "put alive into boxes and set fire to. Others were spitted on bayonets and twisted round in the air, and to make the tortures more exquisite all this was done in the presence of the mothers, who were compelled to look on in a state of nudity."
Posed against such lurid images, Russell's call for moderation made no dent in a government crackdown whose pitilessness was exemplified by the policy of making captured mutineers, as a curse on their souls prior to hanging, lick the bloody floor mats taken from the building where those British civilians had been killed. He railed against heretical tortures of "sewing Muslims in pigskins, smearing them with pork fat before execution, burning their bodies, and forcing Hindus to defile themselves." Times readers were unsympathetic, however, and greeted Russell with derision when he returned from India after order was restored.
His assignment to cover North-South unrest in America offered a happy escape. Welcomed at the White House, he appreciated the president if not the first lady: "The impression of homeliness produced by Mrs. Lincoln is not diminished by closer acquaintance." In New York he interviewed the prosecession owner of the Herald, James Gordon Bennett. "His game," Russell wrote, "is to abuse every respectable man in the country in order to take his revenge on them for his social exclusion." He found Bennett's counterpart at the Tribune, Horace Greeley, only a slight improvement. The fifty-year-old reformer oozed with the self-righteousness of the New England Puritan, who, having "hunted down all his Indians, burned all his witches, invented abolitionism as the sole resource left to him for the gratification of his favorite passion."
Greeley predicted that Russell would be repelled by the South's "slave pens" once he saw them, and indeed the sight of an African sold at auction appalled him. Russell called slavery "a cancer" but acknowledged other reactions within him that revealed a reporter's detachment and a candidly human inappropriateness. Slavery's "whippings and brandings, scars and cuts," didn't stop him from wondering "whether it might not be nice to own a man as one might possess a horse—to hold him subject to my will and pleasure, to hold his fate in my hands."
Russell detested the presumption of Southern planters that Britain's dependence on imported cotton would force it to back the Confederacy. His editors disagreed. Their support of the Confederacy for reasons of trade over morality left Russell doubly isolated. Southerners resented his disparagement of their cause, while Northerners felt the same about The Times. His celebrity favor evaporated as a result, and in July, with opposing armies gathering near Manassas, Virginia, thirty miles west of Washington, commanders rebuffed him. He'd encountered the same attitude from the British military in 1854. Now in America on the eve of the Civil War's first major battle, he must again, he wrote, "take the field without tent or servant, canteen or food—a waif to fortune."
Problems in finding a mount brought him late to the fighting near Bull Run creek on July 21. He missed the Union assault that buckled the Confederate line and sent journalists dashing to the nearest telegraph station with excited reports that soon were splashed across the country: "Brilliant Union Victory!" But the Rebels didn't break. General Thomas J. Jackson rallied them and thereby gained his nickname, "Stonewall." Russell's tardiness put him in perfect position to detect that the tide had turned. While reporters at the front grappled with gunfire, dust clouds, and hysterical rumors of advance and retreat, he saw a stream of blue-clad soldiers stagger out of the chaos lamenting, "We're whipped." Offended by their hangdog collapse and forlorn parade of hospital wagons packed with unwounded men, he urged them to summon their pride and resume the attack, "but I might as well have talked to the stones."
By the time his London dispatch was reprinted in America a month later, the fact of Bull Run as a Northern disaster had been absorbed. Russell's analysis pulled off the singular trick of equally insulting each army—the Union for yielding to panic, the Confederate for calling it a great victory. He made matters worse by chiding America's traditional condescension toward the British monarchy. "The stones of their brand new republic are tumbling about their ears," he clucked. "It will be amusing to observe the change in tone."
American papers excoriated "the snob correspondent from the London Times." His candor about missing Bull Run's combat brought him ridicule. He was likened to an old woman flouncing about red-faced, fat, and miles from the fighting. And it was claimed he'd been drunk, having admitted riding out that day well supplied with brandy from whose flask, to Russell's chagrin, a parched trooper had taken "a startling pull which left but little between the bottom and utter vacuity."
He took the jibes with humor at first, telling friends that he was "the best abused man in America." But when some Yankee reporters started hinting at his cowardice, he lashed out at their self-proclaimed coolness under fire and their florid descriptions of rivers of blood and gore. "I failed to discover any traces of close encounter or very severe fighting," he sniffed. After all, he'd been to Crimea where many thousands had died; the death toll at Bull Run was barely eight hundred.
He received death threats. Then word came down from the White House that his press privileges were revoked. "My unpopularity is certainly spreading upwards and downwards," he observed, "and all because I could not turn the battle of Bull Run into a Federal victory." He sailed for home the next spring. In its send-off, The New York Times acknowledged that his dispatches had included some brilliant passages. Bennett of the Herald was unmoved: "He hates our country; let him leave it."
Russell was glad to go. A storm rocked his ship on its first night at sea but didn't alter its heading, "thank Heaven, towards Europe." He took with him a lasting view that American journalism was "degraded and odious." He also brought along a new nickname, "Bull Run Russell," that would dog him all his life.
The Times forgave his shabby exit and awarded him an annual pension of three hundred pounds. He was far from finished as a correspondent. Ahead lay the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71, and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78, a trio of bloodbaths that would be as alluring to American newsmen as the Civil War had been to Russell. They would bring an aggressiveness suited to the tastes of their readers, leaving the languid, diligent Russell yet again dismayed as to what exactly was happening to the profession he'd pioneered.

Motivating ESL students in a mainstream classroom is probably the most
difficult challenge facing teachers today in their effort to effectively educate these
students. Below is a chart of motivational theories, along with a short description of each,
and some implications for educators teaching ESL students in their mainstream
classrooms with a few ways (suggestions) to address these implications.
difficult challenge facing teachers today in their effort to effectively educate these
students. Below is a chart of motivational theories, along with a short description of each,
and some implications for educators teaching ESL students in their mainstream
classrooms with a few ways (suggestions) to address these implications.
|Theory: Developer
|Description of Theory
|Implications for Educators Teaching ESL Students in Their Mainstream Classrooms/Ways to Address These Implications
|Psychoanalytical Theory:Freud
|Innate needs of acceptance and other basic needs influence behavior; unnconscious, egoistic needs may cause unexpected, and often inappropriate, behaviors
|Challenged with establishing new friendships and being accepted ("fitting in"), ESL students may:
-Be withdrawn
-Use attention-seeking behaviors like aggression
-Not articulate needs of acceptance because needs are in the unconscious
-Be initially quiet and isolated as they master their new environment
-Feel safer observing from a distance, and with support, may soon jump in
Make your classroom environment as inviting and comfortable as possible for students.
|Psychosocial Theory of Human Development:Erik Erikson
|Universal stages of development:
-trust versus mistrust
-autonomy versus doubt
-initiative versus shame and doubt
-industry versus inferiority
These traits are developed early in life but become lifetime traits.
|Students' cultural attitudes and values can have a powerful effect in school learning. Students with past environments that encouraged trust, autonomy, initiative, and industry will have an easier time adjusting in their new environment. Different cultures may depict trust, autonomy, etc. in different ways and forms than the American culture; for example, being passive is not considered a "lack of confidence" in many cultures; making eye contact with an elder while speaking is considered disrespectful in some cultures; etc.
As a teacher, communicate that you respect and value all cultures, and emphasize the contributions that cultural differences make to learning.
|Theory of Cognitive Development:Piaget
|Cognitive stages are universal; concepts of accommodation, assimilation, adaptation, and disequilibrium involved.
|Cultural and language barriers under-represent ESL students' cognitive abilities. They go through a period of disequilibrium as they assimilate their new culture.
Use differentiated assessment to help determine actual cognitive abilities.
|Social Development Theory:Vygotsky
|Learning occurs within a sociocultural setting through social interaction—beliefs values, and experiences are all part of the learning package; the zone of proximal development: the teacher and peer roles are important; language precedes thought
|ESL students have different experiences that need to be taken into account and built upon in school. Soliciting help from people in the child's culture (parents, older peers, and community people), as well as the help of peers in general is beneficial in helping them make connections between new culture and home culture. Helping students learn the language used in the classroom is critical for their continued cognitive development.
Use concrete examples to refer to abstract concepts. Begin language development and concept learning activities with experiences that provide a concrete frame of reference. Provide students with multiple opportunities to practice language in your classroom. Teach children skills that are essential for their survival in their new environment.
|Ecological Systems Theory:Bronfenbrenner
|Children live in a complex environment within which there are systems that affect one another (home, school, parents' work place, policies, etc.)
|There is often conflict between Micro systems (school and home, etc.). This may cause confusion and slow adjustment. An understanding of systems unique to ESL students and the situation of their parents, their cultures, etc. is critical. It is very important to develop relationships and rapport with parents.
Make special efforts to initiate and maintain home-school communication.
|Hierarchy of Human Needs:Maslow
|Human beings' needs are hierarchical:
-Physiological (starting need, bottom of hierarchy)
-Love and Belonging
|Initially, the families of many ESL students struggle to meet basic needs (food and shelter). Many children take quite a bit of time to form friendships and to feel accepted in the classroom. This may affect their academic performance.
Support, and encourage support from other teachers and students in their classrooms, to help children move up Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

'American Hustle' Character Posters: When Bad Hairdos Happen to Not-So-Good People
Posted on Friday, October 4th, 2013 by Angie Han
David O. Russell's American Hustle features one of the most promising ensemble casts of any film this year, but the first batch of character posters splits everyone up. All the better to give each A-list star their own space to shine, I guess. Hit the jump to see Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jeremy Renner decked out in their best '70s garb.

What steps do I need to run a command line program via a global shortcut?
I setup Automator to create a new Run Shell Script and tried to assign a shortcut in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts, but nothing happened.
Applescript it:
Add what you want there, then you can run the Applescript via a global hot key application. I would recommend Spark
Oh, and I don't know about assigning an shortcut through System Preferences
Without knowing the specifics of what you are looking for, I'd suggest creating a new Service through Automator. Services can be bound to keystroke triggers, and can execute shell scripts (among other things).
FastScripts includes all scripts in ~/Library/Scripts/, so you don't have to add files manually. It also supports application-specific scripts.
Other applications that can be used to assign shortcuts for running scripts:
You can also create an Automator service:
There's a bug in 10.7 and 10.8 where the shortcuts for services don't always work until the services menu has been shown from the menu bar. Shortcuts for services don't work when the frontmost application doesn't have a menu bar or a services menu. There's also a short delay before services are run.
Quicksilver can be used to bind hotkeys to actions.
If it's a Unix command or shell script you want to execute, this Stackoverflow post gives some more information on using Quicksilver's "Terminal module".
I tried all those options, but they're too complex and unreliable or really expensive. So i ended up writing my own solution (open-source and free).
It can't do much right now, but that's a start. Feel free to contribute by adding feature requests and suggestions.
It appears as though this was available in 10.6, (see http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090903085255430) but something broke in 10.7.2 (and possibly earlier 10.7)
I have found though that the Services keyboard shortcut is honoured when System Preferences is at the forefront, but not in any other application, including Finder.
However, the earlier suggestion to use Spark worked perfectly in lion, except that I couldn't use Ctrl in my keyboard shortcut. (not a showstopper!)

6/7/2010 -
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.
-- A computer system managing various aspects of Air Force education experienced a serious technical malfunction May 13, impacting Air University distance learning, related education records, and test control facilities Air Force-wide.
Specifically affected are enlisted and officer distance learning for professional military and continuing education, testing and delivery of enlisted career development courses, and various specialty courses.
A team of technicians is working to restore the system to a fully functioning state. A mirror backup of the system also failed shortly after the primary crashed. Technicians have been able to replace server hard drives without further failures, but are experiencing software restoration challenges. In the interim, a number of workarounds are being implemented to mitigate the effects of the system breakdown.
"We're working around the clock to get the system back online," said Col. Anthony Zucco, director of education logistics and communications for Air University. "Our goal is to minimize the impact on our Airmen, specifically their ability to access records and continue with their educational endeavors."
If a student completed course work or finalized a test immediately prior to May 13, the data may have successfully posted to his or her record. Active duty Airmen can check the Air Force Personnel Center's secure personnel services website,
and Guard or Reserve Airmen can check the Air Reserve Personnel Center's website,
, to ensure all education data has posted.
The failing system, known as the Course Development, Student Administration and Registrar system, or CDSAR, has an effect on personnel actions since many of those actions partially rely on education data and verification.
Of particular importance is the ability for upcoming promotion boards to verify graduations and course completions since May 13, according to officials. Some senior noncommissioned officers needing verification of Senior NCO Academy completion for their senior rater endorsements may also experience difficulty accessing those records.
Many Air University distance learning students may be unable to complete testing at their local test control facility since testing prerequisites and scores are primarily accessed through the downed system.
Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard majors scheduled to meet the lieutenant colonel board in June can contact the Air University Registrar via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com with any concerns regarding education records. An active duty enlisted supplemental board scheduled for June will not require updating. The next enlisted board, for chief master sergeants, will not be until October.
Airmen with questions about the status of their personnel records can contact the Total Force Service Center at 800-525-0102 or DSN 665-5000.

We are doing some tidying up of Active Directory on our SBS 2003 domain controller.
A number of security groups exist which I am 95% sure are redundant. I want to be 100% sure they are not used anywhere before I delete them.
I would like to find a way to produce a comprehensive report listing all NTFS and share permissions associated with either a user or security group. Presumably I need a 3rd party program to do this?
Has anyone here done something like this before?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Petrobras Workers Start Slowdown at Refineries, Platforms
Petroleo Brasileiro SA employees and other oil workers in Brazil are implementing a slowdown today at refineries, platforms and plants to push for salary increases, a union leader said.
Union members will also meet Oct. 21 to discuss a possible strike and review wage proposals from Rio de Janeiro-based Petrobras, as Brazil's state-run oil company is known, said Joao Antonio de Moraes, head of the union known as FUP. Petrobras said the slowdown won't affect output.
"It won't directly affect production, it means working more slowly," Moraes said today in a telephone interview.
FUP is demanding a 10 percent wage raise over inflation and better work and security conditions, the union said Oct. 4. Petrobras said in an e-mailed statement today it granted a 9.4 percent pay rise in 2010 and is holding "open and permanent" discussions with union leaders to reach an agreement.
The company is likely to meet with unions between Oct. 24 and Oct. 28, according to the statement. Petrobras produces about 90 percent of Brazil's oil.
Petrobras fell 0.6 percent to 19.34 reais as of 3:20 p.m. in Sao Paulo and declined 29 percent this year through yesterday, compared with the 21 percent slump in Brazil's benchmark Bovespa stock index.

In May of 1994, I lost to cancer my dear friend, artist and collaborator, Lois Nowicki. It was three months from diagnosis to death for this sweet soul. This event coincided with the loss of my first pregnancy. In my struggle to reconcile these losses, I thought of the number of times we face elements of chance in our lives and how little we can control them.
I quickly went to childhood memories of wishbones: the anticipation of holding one side, not knowing if I'd break off the big part and "win" or get the little part and "lose." Sometimes I'd keep the wishbone for months before breaking it.
Wishbones are also a symbol of hope. At least before they're broken.

|Blackpool & Fylde Industrial Estate, Blackpool
We have just had a conservatory built. The whole process from design to install was completed in a quick and professional manner. Would recommend Direct Windows and will use them again. Thankyou
The installation of my door and surrounding frame was carried out in an efficient clean manner and I am delighted with the finished installation. In fact, next door ordered the same installation. It greatly improves the appearance of my semi detached house and due to the large size of the surrounding frame, the much improved heat loss rating makes my hallway warmer.
Just had a new back door and kitchen window fitted. I would like to say how pleased i am with these and how professional the whole experience was. The surveyor who came was extremely helpful and the fitter great. Fantastic job with a great firm. Would recommend them any time and will be having more work done soon.
The director that came to ours to give us the quote was a proper pretentious grandiose sort of a guy and if we hadn't have already used this company before we would have sent him well on his way. However the price was right and having used them before we knew the quality would be right. On the day the fitters were great and cleaned up well after them selves, and the 2 x French doors we had fitted look fantastic and operate well.
New side garage door/window fitted this week, looks great and quality superb. Fitter very pleasant and cleaned up after completing the installation. Both of us extremelly pleased with the direct window experience.
Had a window and door fitted today. The fitter did a good job and was polite and friendly. The door and window are very good quality and look well. The service we received from direct Windows has been of the highest standard from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and all requests we had were more than met.
We will definitely use direct Windows again and we will highly recommend this company to our family and friends.
Many thanks for all your excellent service.
Lorraine and David Miles
I forgot, yesterday when I wrote my review, to give you 5 gold stars!!
We had a sales rep come out and was very hard to get rid of, he couldn't understand we just wanted a quote, and had other companies visiting in the next few days for further quotes. They were adamant my other half had promised to sign their contract, without even seeing it. The man got very resistant to leave and rung MIKE at the Blackpool office. This man then bullied my other half over the phone, telling her she is a timewaster and lied to them. He shouted down the phone and upset her, to that point I then took over the phone call. He spent another 3-4 minutes ranting and raving before realizing it was now me.
We signed the contract under duress, it was the only way to get the sales rep to leave peacefully. I then rang the next day to cancel and say no, I was then shouted at, called rude names and left feeling very angry at Mike's attitude today to cancelling. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone.
Hi its Mike, I am obviously disappointed to read this review, following the email from yourselves it was clear you were need of help as you had signed a contract and paid a deposit to another company who then reneged on your agreement as they could not undertake the building work element you needed. During our telephone conversation you asked if we could visit ASAP as you didn't want your cancellation period with the other company to expire, on your email and during our conversation you stated that if we could carry out the work that the other firm now couldn't at an agreeable price that you would be happy to place and order with us and cancel the other. Given your circumstances and the fears you told me about I advised that I could send one of our advisors straight away to help you out of your situation. During the appointment we were able to meet all of your requirements at a price you were happy with, so an order form was completed and signed and we did not request a deposit to make you feel more comfortable with the process, the agreement with myself was that if you were unable to cancel the previous order then we would not process yours, this agreement was made in line with your email our telephone call and the fact we were able to do the work you needed without cutting corners. This morning you rang me to say you wanted to cancel your order with us, but not because you were unable to cancel the previous order, but because I had upset your partner, during the appointment we spoke on the phone and you expressed concern about potentially having signed two orders with two companies, which is when I advised that I would not process your paperwork until you confirmed with me that your old one was cancelled, this was done to speed up the process and to avoid a re-visit costing yourselves and my agent more time. When we spoke this morning I advised that as promised I had not processed your paperwork and was waiting on your call to say if you had been able to cancel your contract with the other company successfully. I find this review personally upsetting as at no point during any communication have shouted or have I called anybody rude names, or bullied anybody. We were in your property at your request to help you out of a situation which you found difficult to resolve. I fear that I/we may be being tarred here with the same brush as other hard sell and somewhat disrespecting companies, this is simply not the case. Your order has been cancelled as per your request and we wish you all the best. Please see below the initial email from yourselves, which we have on record. Message: We are looking at getting most of the windows replaced in our house with the A-rated window, and also a front door (but the door would also need to be widened, its extremely narrow as it is) We actually have an order in place with another company but they are now saying they can't supply the work needed to the front door, so I am looking for someone to come out quickly to my property and do a quote for 6/7 windows and 1 door, and if its cheaper than our other quote we will cancel the order with the other company
Just an update on last review which I left 2 stars for but is showing 4. We made an offer to this company of £135 under the original cost for all the inconvenience that was caused. An amended bill for this amount was hand delivered to my house. Today the encapsulated top windows have been fitted by a lovely workman with no problems apart from the company sent him to receive a final payment of a £135 more than what was due. Lucky we had all receipts of what was paid and the amended bill. He was happy to accept the payment that was due on the amended bill and I am still waiting on the big bunch of flower I was promised for all the inconvenience.
Job to be done was a bay window, 1 composite door and cap 2 small windowsills.
Day 1. Arrived with no door as it wasn't ready. A bay window pane was damaged so had to be boarded. Didn't have enough materials to do the 2 small windowsills or finish the bay sill or the panels on inside of window.
Day 2. Arrived with door and cracked the arch glass panel. The pane above the door was not leaded to match door glass as requested but did manage to finish wndow and sill. Wouldn't put blinds back up as afraid to damage windows so we had to pay hillarys to come back and fit blinds and they had problems fitting them because of the way the window was left.
Day 3. Replaced cracked arch glass in door and then cracked glass panel above the door. Not one phone call to apolagise from this company and to be then told they don't do compensation. A joke.
Day 4. Pane of leaded glass above door finally fitted. The door doesn't look completely straight but they say its the house. The previous door looked fine.
The door itself looks fabulous,We've not seen anything better,however the actual lock has never been good since we had the door installed two or three years ago.A fitter came out to it maybe 18 months ago and it was O.K.for a while but for a long while now sometimes you put the key in it and it works as it should do "smoothly",other times it takes quite a while ( we sometimes think we are using the wrong key) I have fitted the two previous hardwood doors myself (that lasted over 30 yrs,) and NEVER had any trouble with the locks! I'm more than surprised that with a door of this alleged quality; on many,(if not most ) times is so hard to lock?unlock.I actually feel slightly embarrassed when I'm trying to lock/unlock the door, when it's playing up -It's a bit like having a" Roller" that won't start first time!
