Hi everyone!Potential touchy subject...I am a high school director in Northern VA with 6 choirs. Only 2 of the choirs don't include the words "men", "women's", or "ladies."I have students who identify as either male or female, but are placed in their choir according to their (birth) sex which is listed on their transcripts. The singers said they were "OKAY" with their placements because they would be in the classes with other students with similar voice parts. Even though they said this, I know I will keep a close eye on their well-being this year, and in the future.My question for you is - Do you have any suggestions on what to rename my choirs so that they don't conform into the gender binary? ...

Joel Adam ShapiroWhat about Treble Choir instead of Women's/Ladies' etc?

My-Van NguyenWe're seriously choral twins. Have been considering this all summer!

Joel Adam ShapiroInstead of Men's Choir, maybe give it a unique name relating to your school/mascot?
Douglas NeslundOh for God's sake, people! Don't let the political correctness infect and pollute our youngsters. Enough of this mind twisting junk!!!

Jason LongtinI think coming up with fun, creative names for each group is the best solution. This actually comes up in church choir all the time. Lots of church ladies sing tenor (even bass...I sit next to one), so we have to be mindful of not calling the TB section "Men."
Tyler ForsytheFor my creative juices to flow, I need to know your school mascot and school colors. Additionally, any unique or interesting characteristics about your school or town would be helpful. (For example, if the town's festival is called Stucco Days, that could be useful in naming the choirs.)

Joel Adam ShapiroDefinitely don't name it after the Occoquan :)

Martin LassmanI struggled with this, too. Having a transitioning person in the Women's Choir was awkward for me and him. I tried SSAA but no one knew what that meant. I ended up with Treble and Advanced Treble choirs. Since I teach middle school, this has not been an issue with the Men's Choir. Their voices will not allow transitioning students to sing in the male range.
Rhonda JulianoThank you for being aware of your students needs and well being. I also suggest that you come up with a great name that your students will relate to and feel good about singing in.
Susanna Lace PeeplesI believe Josh Palkki knows a lot on this subject as he gave a session at ACDA on LGBT issues in the choral classroom.
Shawna McKay GleasonWe use names like concert choir (freshmen group) select chorus ( mixed upper grades) and Vocal ensemble (treble choir) how about Woodbridge singers or Viking Singers
Leah PeerWe discussed this at COACDA last summer. The best suggestion I heard was Treble, Bass and Mixed - instead of gender designations
Jason StevensAt my school we have three levels of choir. The entry level got so big we were able to offer two sections which we split by voicing. The entry level group was called "Voce" so we have a SA choir "Bella Voce" and a TB choir called "Voce di Forza" however it is often called Macho Voce.
Laura SurguineI just went through this and had a private facebook discussion with a bunch of directors- it's awesome you're being mindful of this!!! After so much discussion (and keeping in mind that we want the name to be easy to understand by our admin- we're H.S. directors) we landed on Treble Choir and Bass Choir. Obviously bass choir could be confusing, but we had to keep in mind our students and admin would not appreciate a clever latinate name. :) Good luck to you! Ours is going out to the board for official renaming this year!!
Michael Bussewitz-QuarmThrilled with the sensitivity our choral directors have to this topic. Bravo!
Cate WindelbornI have just changed the names of my beginning gender choirs from Women's Chorus and Men's Choir to Treble Chorus and Varsity Chorus. This will not only be more friendly for transgender students, but also guys who have a conflict can sing in the treble chorus and just sing the appropriate part down an octave. I had three guys in this situation last year and called the choir mixed chorus. I think Treble Chorus is more appropriate since we sing SSA music in that class. Just can't justify SAB with 3 boys and 45 girls.

To get proper redundancy, we've installed 2 switches in our network and connected them to eachother. We now want to hook our servers to both switches. Since all servers have 2 ethernet ports, this should be possible.
The big problem is that we want to do this using just 1 IP address per server. Does anyone know how to configure Linux (and Windows too actually) so it supports this, at the same time avoiding any form of looping ? I know it's possible to just set the IP on both interfaces, but that causes ARP issues when disconnecting 1 of the switches.

Hello all,
Many apologies if this subject has been done to death. I kept searching boren and switcher in the forum's search and oddly no results appeared.
I'd love to implement a theme switcher on my daughter's website, http://cjhoward.co.uk, but I'm not having any luck getting any of the plugins I have found to work.
Boren's plugin looks great, and when I followed the instructions precisely, the blog's admin plugin page breaks. The row that should contain the plugin shows code from the actual php file. It's very strange.
Can anyone shed some light as to what I'm doing wrong?

How appear companies advertise to get jobs on. with (South Jersey). but their company is found in North, Central, The shoreline areas, who in at this time there right mind is getting a job that is sooooo distant for so bit of money, why? EMICKLES AT THE VERY LEAST GIVE US QUITE A FEW DANCING TIPS IFOk, here's a few . Don't ever put women on a pedestal.. Address the bitch great.. Buy the bitch flowers ever so often. Women love big surprise gifts.. Don't be described as a cheap bastard.
have to have a good in NEW YORK CITY my husband and additionally i both ought to go for distinctive reasons--his for chronic headaches and then a misaligned back due to a /" shorter limb and me forreverse neck shape... based on a consultation from a home chiro (who world in buffalo unfortunately), we'd should go semi-frequently to begin, but with some sort of $-copay, going obtain or every various week EACH simply just really isn't possible. so we're searching for someone who could work with us on ren portrait plan (our friends and family chiro said a great deal of dr's will make this happen, if you need multiples going this frequently, they'll just job "off the books" and execute a lump sum for X quantity of visits, etc). and to, i'm months, so should be someone who truly does prenatal work. ugh so difficult to acquire some.. thanks before hand! we have a couple chiros in relatives one of them is usually a prenatal and pediatric chiro. getting regularly adjusted during not simply helps with the particular added pelvic pressure and spine pain (which we have already experienced the symptom and rid of visits), but also is usually tremendous in aligning the spine together with pelvis for delivery that will help the baby surface easier (family chiro conveys all her prenatal clients to return see her any time they're ready to own baby, btw -wks, and she assurances within days of an certain adjustment she'll get into labor. happened like clockwork intended f pc weather products or both of a sister in is actually babies and the lady wasn't in pre-labor previous to that, and your woman had amazing births). i have no knowledge on typiy the reverse curve matter, but i don't really observe how behavioral therapy would probably fix a backbone issue. i also figure since i will go to an important chiro anyway, i will definitely have him or her try fixing them. as for my husband, since getting adjusted by us chiro (frequent visits to his home town was an excellent coincidence lately), the headaches have drastiy lessened. she also employed to adjust him constantly when he seemed to be younger for his / her leg length significant difference, just to always keep his alignment around tact, since neglect can bring about tons of problems in the future regardless of elevates in his trainer.
Another factor to weigh too... The OP's abilities. The OP wouldn't mention their skill set. Didn't go to help college? Okay... Why don't you consider trade? Or at the very least some JC lessons? In any state style and color . UE stats, recruiters want **skills**!! The fewer skills a situation requires, the more vulnerable it's; It is the primary cut during a new down turn, and the last an extra chance -- if in the slightest -- during the recovery = Give demand.

Latest Amazon Prime Perk: Members Can Read The Washington Post for Free
The Washington Post announced today that Amazon Prime members will get free, unlimited access to the newspaper's National Digital Edition for six months, a $60 deal.
The Washington Post announced today that Amazon Prime members will get free, unlimited access to the newspaper's National Digital Edition for six months, a $60 deal.
The Washington Post, a newspaper and online media outlet owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, is really skeptical of claims that working at Amazon could be so bad. "Is it really that hard to work at Amazon?" the paper asks.
Ever since Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, there's been speculation about how he would tie it in with Amazon. Now we know: owners of Kindle Fire tablets are getting a full 6-month digital subscription to the newspaper for free.
Ben Bradlee was editor of the Washington Post when the newspaper did something phenomenal: It took down the Nixon administration in the Watergate scandal. I didn't know anything about Bradlee or newspapers or the Washington Post when I saw the 1976 film about the scandal—I only knew I wanted to work somewhere just…
Ever since Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos plucked up the Washington Post, we've wondered how he would merge it into his personal empire. And here we have it: The Post is launching a magazine-style app that will come preloaded on new Kindle Fires, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
Billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper recently proposed splitting California up into six distinct states. Draper's plan is getting a good deal of ridicule in the press, despite the fact that it could actually make its way to California ballots in the next election. But it's easy to forget that throughout history,…
The Washington Post just published the first interview with Edward Snowden since the initial wave of press after the 30-year-old former analyst's leaks this summer. His main theme: Edward Snowden done good.
Looks like Jeff Bezos's new toy, The Washington Post, is the latest victim in the hacker war on newspapers. Company officials announced Wednesday that hackers had gained access to employees' usernames and passwords, though it's unclear how much data the company lost.
"Once upon a time computers were for thinking... That's no longer true. Computers are for communicating now, and networks allowed that to happen."
Last month, Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post for $250 million. Now, in the first interview he's given since the purchase, he's spoken out about what we can expect to see from him.
Well this is just fun. Jeff Bezos talked with German newspaper Berliner-Zeitung in 2012 about the dark future of newspapers and how they can be relevant to Amazon. And well, since Bezos is now a newspaper baron, it's probably a good idea to revisit his rather bleak thoughts on print.
Today the Washington Post Company agreed to sell the Washington Post newspaper to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos for $250 million in cash. This ends the Graham family's ownership of the paper after four generations. The deal, which was made independently of Bezos' other ventures, is expected to close within 60 days.
Digg has been on a downward trajectory for some time, but now things seems to be getting worse. Rumors are circulating that the Washington Post is trying to hire the entire tech team from Digg—which would leave the aggregator site pretty much dead on its feet.
The Washington Post had an interesting back and forth wringing its hands over the future of journalism. Oh no! Journalism is dying! Again! Or so a newspaper with declining readership and revenue would have you believe.
A well-designed website should be clear, above all. No flashing GIFs (we miss you, 90s!), no obnoxious flash menus, no overwhelming lists of links. And heads up, WaPo website: it shouldn't be blanketed in insanely redundant Facebook sharing buttons.
The venerable Washington Post finally has its own iPad app, and it's free until February 2011. One neat feature: it has "live topic" pages which pull together several stories and social media commentary related to some central news item.
The Washington Post has this bizarre Final-Four style bracket to determine the "most influential person of the decade," and with President Bush's defeat of Sergey Brin and Larry Page, all the tech figures are now out of the race. Lame.

Customer Reviews
Nearly Perfect
The graphics and all I give a 4.5 (in stars) and the ridiculously short life period of the star... 0. I just finished a game where I had a Civ. Lvl. 1 get 15 minutes of destroying comets before evacuating. And 5 others that almost got to be Civilizations. I'd say it needs more like 4 hours to live, so that way you could get a couple of Civ. Lvl. 3's that'll screw each other over until it's "book it" time. Also, it's unrealistic that the star turns into a white dwarf, pulsar, and FINALLY a BLACK HOLE which eats the entire system and then gets 50 times bigger. And when the star shrinks (usually after red giant phase) the ships go rushing BACK?!?! Towards the thing they were trying to get away from? Sure, everything is is otherwise fine, but there are some issues. Another would be that I can't give the evolving planets gold, name them, the star, and ships with the already in-place amount. A little more and not spending much money would be nice. I'd also like to see moons and colonization and faster rotations as well, and maybe a little faster with the orbits too. Poor little Epsilon, always getting stuck in the Asteroid Belt.
Cool, But Needas More
There is nothing horrible about this game. It would be better if you added some more features to it, such as maybe giving us the ability to choose the color of the sun. Make the planets rotate, since they already orbit. We should get daily bonuses of gold, and maybe some achievements with awards. Also a sandbox mode would be cool, and when the sun becomes a red giant, can you make it so it expands outwards and possibly swallows up some planets? Maybe make the time limit longer by maybe 5-10 minutes. Also, it just seems weird to pay gold to rename a planet. Can you take that feature away? And if enough comets collide with a planet, can you make it collapse and maybe make it explode? And make the air planets' size greater and more noticeable. And my final idea, can you make the asteroid belt more 3-D, and make it affect comets and make them launch themselves at planets. I hope some of my crazy ideas get into the game. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars, and would really love if my ideas were incorporated. Keep up the good work!
Great game but a ripoff (kinda)
I play this game as the free version and think hey I'll buy the full game and as it turns out I payed almost 5 dollars for only getting rid of ads. Then the time speed thing costs gold to use. Naming planets costs gold (ridiculous). Then I have to pay more money for more gold which I find as a complete rip off because I pay five dollars to pay later for gold. Then there isn't enough time in one game atleast 2-3 hours in game or a setting to change the amount of starting time would be great not that 1 hour crap and don't make us pay gold for more time either. But it is still a addicting game which has its flaws like all games but just stop robbing people blind. If there wasn't in app purchases I wouldn't have given this game such low ratings

HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- Sam Houston State will play host to Texas Southern in a non-conference softball game Wednesday at 4 p.m. at the Bearkat Softball Complex.
The Tigers and the Bearkats were supposed to play a doubleheader Wednesday but have decided to play only a single contest.
Texas Southern leads the Southwestern Athletic Conference in softball with a 13-1 league record and a 30-13 season mark.
The two met a month ago in Houston with the Bearkats winning 6-2 and 7-5. The second game went into extra innings.
Eight Tiger starters are hitting above .300.
Sam Houston brings a 28-19 record into the matchup.
Six Bearkats are hitting above .300 including Tori Benavidez (.403), Tiffany Castillo (.371) Jessica Slater (.362), Hillary Adams (.345), Cecilia Castillo (.326) and Alyssa Coggins (.328).
The Bearkats return to Southland Conference play Saturday and Sunday. Sam Houston faces league leading McNeese State in a 1 p.m. doubleheader Saturday and a 1 p.m. single game Sunday.
Sunday's game wraps up the 2013 Bearkat home softball schedule. The Kats will close out the regular season a week later at Northwestern State.

Scouting report: Dynamo host New England Revolution
Published 6:07 pm, Friday, March 7, 2014
Three things to watch in Saturday night's game:
Debut: Midfielder Tony Cascio, who scored five goals in the preseason, is expected to make his Dynamo debut on the right wing. With center mid Warren Creavalle recovering from offseason knee surgeries, Cascio played well enough to prompt coach Dominic Kinnear to pinch Boniek Garcia from the right wing to center mid.
New face: Defender David Horst, who was acquired from Portland over the winter, will be watched closely as he starts at center back in place of longtime vocal veteran leader Bobby Boswell, who is now with D.C. United.
Audition: Midfielder Brad Davis is the one player on the field who can set up a goal each time he touches the ball on set pieces or in the run of play on the attacking side. Davis is hungry to show that he deserves a spot on the U.S. national team's World Cup squad this summer.

Sprint Might Finally Get Its Way With Possible T-Mobile Deal
Reports say that a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile is at hand. Sprint has made no secret of its designs on its smaller rival; why are the companies considering a deal now?
Sprint has made no secret of its designs on its smaller rival, T-Mobile. And today, there were multiple reports of a tentative deal valued at around $32 billion. Sprint chairman, Masayoshi Son, has said a deal would make it possible for Sprint to offer more competition in high-speed Internet. But as NPR's Yuki Noguchi reports, there are still plenty of obstacles to the proposed takeover.
YUKI NOGUCHI, BYLINE: Since before Son's company, Softbank, took a majority stake in Sprint, he's made no bones about how he wants to go big in the U.S. market. And in an interview on The Charlie Rose Show in March, he said T-Mobile was part of his grand plan.
MASAYOSHI SON: If I can't have a real fight, I go in more massive price war - right? - the technology war.
CHARLIE ROSE: That's your pattern. When you get a stake hold, you undersell everybody.
SON: Yes. Yes.
ROSE: You're willing to postpone profits in order to gain market share.
SON: Exactly.
NOGUCHI: But antitrust regulators and the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission have signaled they do not want the number of major phone operators to drop down from four to three. Three years ago, they blocked AT&T from buying T-Mobile. But Mark Cooper says this deal is different. Cooper is director of research at the advocacy group Consumer Federation of America, and points out this deal would merge the smallest of the wireless carriers, which, combined, would roughly compare to their next biggest rival.
MARK COOPER: And so the antitrust officials have to ask themselves, is a bigger, stronger number three better for competition?
SON: Earlier this year, Comcast announced plans to buy Time Warner Cable. And AT&T intends to acquire satellite TV provider, Direct TV. Cooper says, with so many big merger deals to consider, regulators will be forced to think about what sort of market they want to end up with, and how many big firms are needed to preserve a healthy level of competition. The answer to that question will go a long way toward determining whether Sprint and T-Mobile will end up together. Yuki Noguchi. NPR News, Washington.

The co-existence of high numbers of species has always fascinated ecologists, but what and where are the communities with the world records for plant species richness? The species–area relationship is among the best-known patterns in community ecology, but does it give a consistent global pattern for the most saturated communities, the global maxima?
The world.
We assembled the maximum values recorded for vascular plant species richness for contiguous areas from 1 mm2 up to 1 ha. We applied the power function to relate maximal richness to area and to make extrapolations to the whole Earth.
Only two community types contain global plant species maxima. The maxima at smaller spatial grain were from oligo- to meso-trophic, managed, semi-natural, temperate grasslands (e.g. 89 species on 1 m2), those at larger grains were from tropical rain forests (e.g. 942 species on 1 ha). The maximum richness values closely followed a power function with z = 0.250: close to Preston's 'canonical' value of 0.262. There was no discernable difference between maxima using rooted presence (i.e. including only plants rooted in the plot) vs shoot presence (i.e. including any plant with physical cover over the plot). However, shoot presence values must logically be greater, with the curves flattening out at very small grain, and there is evidence of this from point quadrats. Extrapolating the curve to the terrestrial surface of the Earth gave a prediction of 219 204 vascular plant species, surprisingly close to a recent estimate of 275 000 actual species.
Very high richness at any spatial grain is found only in two particular habitat/community types. Nevertheless, these high richness values form a very strong, consistent pattern, not greatly affected by the method of sampling, and this pattern extrapolates amazingly well. The records challenge ecologists to consider mechanisms of species co-existence, answers to the 'Paradox of the Plankton'.

Wanted to update while I have two free hands, which isn't incredibly often these days!
After Judah was born, we pushed and pushed to get out of the hospital after 24 hours. DH and I are not fans of staying in the hospital. I get cabin fever and hate being interrupted by a million people about this and that or the other.
So anyway, we were cleared and came home late Thursday night.
My mom has been here since and although she's helpful, I was SO ready for her to leave way before she did. She basically takes over the kitchen and takes care of all the meals and cleanup which is really awesome but she also is really annoying and drives me bonkers. I had a rough night one night and was yelling (don't worry, I took a break from the baby and DH took over) and she freaked out and yelled at me and then I yelled back at her, etc etc and it just wasn't pretty. Then the next day she inserted her two cents about how to raise our kids and basically questioned our love for them. Grrr. I could go on and on; my mom and I have some major issues and she seems oblivious to them.
So while she was here, I spent most of my time on the couch nursing. Judah went to the doctor the day after we got out of the hospital. He was 7lbs 11oz at discharge, 7lbs 9 oz at his first appointment, then we took him back a few days later because we were concerned about jaundice (he just has a mild case, nothing to worry about), and he was back to 7lbs 11oz again! So yay I'm doing something right! Plus, I can go in for a weight check on him anytime if I want to make sure he's gaining. I don't have an appt until 2 months so I'll probably check him at 2 weeks and then at 1 month.
We've been able to do a lot of walks and I've been up for it. It's perfect weather here right now so we need to take advantage before it gets too hot.
Today I took him out by myself for the first time (with my DD) and he slept the entire time; this is really the first baby I've had that has been happy and not cranky all the time because the others I just wasn't making enough milk for.
So all is going really great for us! DH goes back to work tomorrow and I'm more confident now that I can do this, especially since he's eating well. I just need to not try to do everything.
Today I've been really active and all of a sudden I'm really crampy, like constant pain like the beginning of a period. Anyone taking RRL for after pains? I cut back my dosage a couple days ago so maybe I need to be taking more again.
Update on Judah and I!
Wanted to update while I have two free hands, which isn't incredibly often these days!
Glad you and baby are doing well. Just wondering, how many days after having your baby should you take your baby in for a doctor's appt? I'm new at this so I want to make sure I am doing everything right.
So you were able to leave the hospital at 24 hours or they kept you longer? I will want to leave early too, but they told me protocol is 2 nights...boo. I'm glad your mom came to help, but I totally understand needing some space.
Sounds like you've been active and have lots of energy, that is fantastic! And Judah is fedding like a champ! Not sure about the RRL, but I hope someone answers your question because I want to know.
glad to hear you are douing well and the nursing is going great! i'm not sure about the rrl so no advice there.
Thanks for the update Vicki. Glad everything is going well. I would really not like having my mother here like that. She's going to come help, but luckily she lives close and will leave every evening! My mom and SIL had a lot of strife years ago so my mom is very careful about what she says/does...which is good. LOL.
Glad to hear you got out for some walks. Fresh air is wonderful.
I just had him checked out so we wouldn't have to stay at the hospital another day. They wanted to keep him for 48 hours because of me being strep positive even though I got antibiotics. So I scheduled an appointment with my pedi and told them I had it scheduled so they would feel better about letting me go.
I think it really depends on your pedi as to when you take them in first; a lot of them want to see them at 2 weeks to make sure they're back up to birth weight.
Elizabeth, normal policy is 48 hours but they will make exceptions if you and baby are cleared. We just made it clear to everyone that came in who asked if we needed anything that we wanted to get out by 24 hours. They will have to do the newborn screening right at 24 hours but they let us go after that.
Slowww down, mama! If you're cramping or starting to bleed, you're doing too much! :bigarmhug: I'm sorry to hear about your mom.. From what I gather she's gone now.. enjoy your time with the fam.
Good job on keeping his weight steady!!

16 reviews | 4.7 out of 5
I was hesitant about purchasing this bed due to the low price, but it looks very nice and seems to be of nice quality. I haven't washed it yet so can't speak on that. My 2 cats and my Pomeranian are all taking turns sleeping in it so it seems to be a hit with them, and that's what matters the most. I don't think I could ever find a better bed for the price, and will be ordering more of them.
Perfect for my Chihuahua. He loves to lay under a blanket his bed. He needed something fluffy and warm and this is what we were looking for.
I bought this for my grandmother's dog, and was surprised at how nice it was for the price I paid! I searched several sites and the only comparable ones I found were at least $10 more and were smaller. This bed is cute, soft, and seems to be well made.
Great price, exactly what we needed.
These fit my 4 cats of varying sizes and my dog. I would consider them a normal medium size bed. All of my fur babies love them.
The 2 dogs and cat love the bed. The bed is soft and keeps it's shape. Great online buy i made.
I purchased three beds for my cats due to other reviews and the price. I could not be happier with the quality and overall look. I have a medium size Terri dog that easily fits in the beds as well. The tags state the there is percentage of recycled material used in the bed, but the mattress tag states 100% new material. A percentage of the purchase price goes to ASPCA. I would purchase these beds again.
She drags it with her around the house so she can lay down in it!
Great product for the price. My Malti poo loves it.she can sleep in it upside down which is her favorite way to sleep.
My daughter's dog just love her new Donut bed and it's roomy an soft.
My dogs love it. I didn't wash it yet.

I've been going back and forth on installing bbPress for some time. I'd really like to see some examples of bbPress integration with WordPress.
What I'm interested in knowing...
1. Does your installation share the WordPress database?
2. Are you calling up the WordPress theme at all? If so, how?
3. Did you make any changes to bbpress - such as making it resemble your WordPress theme?

Hey everyone —
I'll be running all over the place this June & July, starting way up in Colebrook, New Hampshire and then wandering all the way out to the west coast and back, hitting many of my very favorite areas along the way.
More dates will be added to this list in the coming days, but the general shape of those two months is now outlined on this website's performances page. Please keep an eye on that space for details as more shows are attached! I hope to see you out there.

I am having a problem with positioning the Invalid Field Messages in my form. I am not referring to the one that is positioned by [response], but the specific messages that point out the invalid fields themselves (i.e. "Please fill the required field."). The problem I am having is that these are appearing over the invalid field and not allowing the user to then correct the form for submission. Additionally the user is not able to edit any of the fields that appear in the form prior to the position of the invalid field.
Is there any way that I am able to control the positioning of these messages? Or at least make it so that they don't interfere with the fields themselves? I can see it's simple enough to change what they say, but haven't been able to find how to position them. The only thing that has kind of worked is by having no message show for the invalid field, but then the user may not see where they have mis-entered/omitted information.
Any help would be appreciated,

Jordan and U.S. Move Closer to Nuclear Pact
Washington Seeks Civilian-Cooperation Deal, With Limits, as Prospect of Mideast Arms Race Looms
WASHINGTON—Jordan is in advanced talks with the Obama administration to conclude a civilian nuclear-cooperation agreement with the U.S., according to Jordanian and U.S. officials.
Successful completion of the negotiations would make Jordan the second Arab state in less than a year, following the United Arab Emirates, to secure nuclear assistance from Washington. Any pact would constitute an international treaty and need the approval of Congress.
The talks come as Iran is accelerating its production of nuclear fuel, raising the prospect of an expanding nuclear-arms race in the Middle East.
An accord with King Abdullah II's government in Amman would allow U.S. firms to transfer nuclear equipment, fuel and expertise to Jordan, which is one of only two Arab countries to have signed a peace agreement with Israel.
President Barack Obama has pledged to assist developing nations in pursuing civilian nuclear-power programs in exchange for guarantees they won't seek to produce atomic bombs.
U.S. officials cite the cooperation agreement signed with the U.A.E. last year as a model for the peaceful development of nuclear power. Under the deal, Abu Dhabi provided assurances it won't seek to enrich uranium on its soil. The technologies required to process uranium ore into nuclear fuel also can be used to produce weapons-grade materials.
A potential stumbling block in the Jordan-U.S. deliberations, according to participants, is whether Amman will follow the U.A.E.'s lead and provide guarantees that it won't enrich uranium domestically. The U.A.E., under the terms of its pact with Washington, could demand a renegotiation if another Middle Eastern country secures a nuclear-cooperation agreement with the U.S. under terms more favorable than Abu Dhabi's.
Jordan's agreement could face hurdles in Congress if Amman doesn't approve a zero-enrichment clause. "If Jordan wants to enrich … then the U.A.E. would also have the right to renegotiate," said a congressional aide working on nuclear issues. "This situation threatens to touch off a lot of regional tension, and we would oppose."
Jordanian officials have stressed publicly the peaceful nature of their nuclear program and said Amman is willing to ship its substantial uranium-ore deposits to third countries for processing into nuclear fuels. Jordan is also coordinating closely with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, to put security safeguards in place.
Still, Jordan is wary of cutting a deal with the U.S. that would surrender its rights to enrich under terms of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Like other Middle Eastern countries, Jordan doesn't want to undermine a pre-existing multilateral treaty.
"We're confident we can complete the agreement in the near term," said Jordan's ambassador to Washington, Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein.
Jordan sought to complete the nuclear-cooperation agreement with the Bush administration in 2008, but ran out of time, according to officials involved in the talks. The Obama administration called for a renegotiation of the pact to insert assurances outlined in the U.A.E.'s deal.
The State Department's top official on nonproliferation issues, Undersecretary Ellen Tauscher, visited Amman in December to discuss the agreement, U.S. and Jordanian officials said. Jordanian negotiators are expected in Washington in the coming months to resume the discussions.
A spokesman for Ms. Tauscher declined to discuss the status of the talks Tuesday. "We continue to work with our Jordanian colleagues to conclude an…agreement," the official said.
King Abdullah announced in 2007 a program to develop nuclear technologies as a means to secure Jordan's energy independence. Jordan imports virtually all of its petroleum supplies from neighboring Arab states, and the country is facing severe water shortages. Jordan also has a rapidly growing population that has been swollen by an influx of Iraqi refugees since the U.S.'s 2003 toppling of Saddam Hussein.
Amman is hoping to use its vast supplies of recently discovered uranium ore to fuel a clutch of nuclear reactors by the end of this decade. Jordan's government also seeks to use the uranium to power desalination plants that can produce potable water from the sea.
"Jordan is 96% dependent on importing petroleum," said Prince Zeid. "Our uranium assets give us the hope that we won't be entirely energy dependent on other nations in the future."
In recent months, the Jordanian government has signed nuclear-cooperation agreements or had extensive discussions with a string of countries in addition to the U.S., such as France, Canada, China, South Korea and Japan.
Amman says it also seeks cooperation with Washington to bring transparency, safety and higher technologies to its program.
The Jordan Atomic Energy Commission formed a joint-venture with France's Areva SA in 2008 to mine Jordan's uranium-ore deposits, which are estimated to exceed 100,000 tons. A South Korean consortium headed by the Korea Electric Power Corp. KEP 0.78 % also recently signed a contract with Jordan's government worth nearly $200 million to build a research reactor, according to Jordanian officials.

"Flying In" Dominican Republic Travelogue by grandmaR
Dominican Republic Travel Guide: 3,024 reviews and 6,817 photos
We flew out of Miami on Monday January 9, 2006. We started out at a little before 8 am and it took us about an hour to go the 10 miles to the airport. Then it took another 35 minutes to check in at the ticket counter (no self check or curb check for international), and a few more minutes to hand the checked baggage over to the X-ray person.
Bob got some currency changed. They were selling it at 0.034733 and he got 1030 pesos for $39.70 minus the commission of $3.95. There was almost no line at security though, so we went through as fast as I could hobble. We got to the gate at 9:56 - eight minutes before boarding started at 10:04. We pushed away from the gate on time, and then waited to take off. Neither I nor the person behind me could get the shade that was between us to go up. So I had to crick my neck around to look over the one a little forward of my seat.
The plane flew right over Virginia Key, Rickenbacker Marina and the Marine Stadium. There are still boats anchored there although I had heard that wasn't allowed anymore. After Key Biscayne, the pilot said he was going south of Nassau, and we probably went over Andros before we flew over Hispanola and out into the Caribbean and turned back to the airport. We were now in the Atlantic time zone, so I changed my watch and my camera and later my computer to the new time - we lost an hour on the way over. They gave us the customs and immigration forms to fill out.
We did not get any lunch of course - just a bag of pretzels and some juice. I brought water to drink, but did not bring food because of possible problems with customs.
We got into Santo Domingo airport a little later than scheduled about 2:05pm. The airport was a zoo, and it was hot and humid. There were a lot of lines for immigration and before you checked in, not only did you have to have your form that they gave you in the airplane filled out, but also you had to buy a tourist card which was $10. I saw no directions that stated this, and I'm usually pretty good about finding signs - you were expected to know.
I went to an airport information booth and asked for a map, and they said they didn't have any information at all except a booklet in either German or French. They gave me the French one plus a CD also in French. I can still read a bit of French and the book actually proved very helpful as a supplement to the AAA book I had. Apparently for many years, most tourists to the DR were from Europe - French, German and some Italians.
I had called the resort before we left and the girl on the phone told me that they couldn't send someone for me and to just to get a taxi. As we were walking out there were people with signs with names on them, and I saw a man with a Hotel Acuarium sign with someone else's name on it. I showed him our RCI sheet with our names and the name of the hotel, and he asked if we were the people whose name was on the sign and I said no and gave our name. He said OK, and took us in tow. I found out later that we had hijacked someone else's transportation - they were a young couple coming in on a much later USAir flight.
Anyway the driver stowed us into a maroon sedan (after he took stuff off the seats including some kind of car alarm and rearranged stuff in the trunk which had a propane tank in it), and shoved his car into the line of cars waiting to exit the airport. No drivers wait their turn here - it is who backs down first that has to wait. I didn't think much about it at the time, because our daughter drives a little bit the same in Miami under the adage "if you snooze you loose", but this was even more aggressive than that.
The car had A/C in it. After he paid to go out of the parking lot, he drove at great speed for some time, including a toll road, going on unpaved roads and around some strange interchanges. I was beginning to be afraid that we had been hijacked. But just about panic time, we turned unto an unpaved potholed road and after one block, there was the hotel. The driver asked for $20, which we gave him. The other couple had to pay $50.
We were about half an hour early for the check-in which is supposed to be after 4 pm. So they said we had to talk to Gloria. Gloria turned out to be the RCI rep and not connected to the hotel. They went to check if our room was ready, and gave us our room key which was attached to a 3.5"x 2" block of wood. Our driver (who spoke almost no English) took the bags up to the room for us and Bob tipped him 10 pesos, not being used to the system yet.
Before we went up to our room, we asked Gloria about a city tour for the next day, and she said she would see us at breakfast the next morning.
For a complete description of the hotel see the Hotel Acuarium tip
Food: the first night, we both ordered off the ala carte menu instead of waiting for the buffet which didn't begin until 8 pm - we were hungry because we missed lunch. The menu had categories for appetizers, first course (pasta), main course, fish course, side dishes and dessert. We were told on the meal plan we could order something from each section except that the fish course (lobster, shrimp, snapper etc) all had an extra charge over an above the meal plan.
For appetizers we got Caprese Salad (190 pesos) which proved to be a large plate of tomatoes and molded cheese. For first course, Bob got Lasagna (240 pesos) and I got Linguine Acuarium Style (200 pesos) which proved to be large tube pasta with a nice sauce. Both very big helpings. For the main course, Bob got Fried chicken and I got Chicken criolla style - both 240 pesos. Bob got a side dish of mashed potatoes which he said were real potatoes and he also got a little tree of brocolli, and I got tomatoes - both 65 pesos. My tomatoes were cross sections around heap of lettuce with grated carrot in the middle.
Desserts were 85 pesos, and Bob got chocolate cake which was more like a brownie only pie shaped, and I asked for Jam cake, but they didn't have any of that so they brought me pineapple ice cream (or maybe it was ice milk) which was excellent and refreshing. This was almost more food that we could eat even though we were hungry and added up to 840 pesos each which would be about $28. Plus of course, tax and service charge.
None of the drinks were included in the meal. You have to buy them extra. We asked for tea and got a couple of 3/4 full cups of luke warm water and some tea bags for which we had to pay. We asked for more 'hot' water and to the astonishment of the waiter, we reused the tea bag. We bought a bottle of water and soon learned to buy a large bottle of water and bring part of it (in a smaller bottle) down to the table with us at dinner time to drink.
Next: Gloria's City Tour.

text: Nothing wears thinner faster than a crime series. Given that fact, Donna Leon?s 17th Commissario Brunetti mystery should be her weakest, for we know Leon?s Venice so well by now and we know Brunetti, his family, and his colleagues so intimately. Instead, The Girl of His Dreams is one of Leon?s best: a cunning, deceptively simple novel that exposes a modern nether world within her dreamy city. Brunetti?s introduction to that world is the body of a dead child floating in a canal. "Silk. It felt like silk. He latched his fingers around the strands and pulled gently?. As he backed up one step it floated closer, and the silk spread out and wrapped itself around his wrist." The girl was 11 years old, the daughter of a Gypsy or Rom family. Pathology reports reveal the presence of a sexually transmitted disease. "When he read the age of the dead child, Brunetti lowered the papers to the desk and turned his head to gaze out the window?. A pine tree stood at the far corner, some sort of a fruit tree a few metres in front of it, so Brunetti saw the sweet green of the still unfolded leaves outlined against the darker green of the needles." The girl?s story comes to the fore halfway through a novel that opens with the funeral of Brunetti?s mother, wonderfully rendered, and that also includes Brunetti?s investigation of a new Christian sect. Familiar themes recur (the power of corrupt politicians, of the Catholic Church, of the faded aristocracy), and familiar characters — such as Brunetti?s pompous superior, his loyal subordinate, his omnipotent secretary, and his enduringly perceptive wife — act predictably. Brunetti, however, has become more permeable and more interesting, as has Leon?s supremely entertaining — and thoughtful — fiction.

Determinants of Marital Fertility in Pakistan: An Application of the "Synthesis Framework"
The fertility phase of the demographic transition has increasingly been viewed as a movement from high to low levels of fertility, and as a shift from natural fertility to deliberately controlled fertility. In an attempt to gain more insight into this process, the present study, in the context of Pakistan, is based on intensive National Population, Labour Force, and Migration Survey data covering 10,000 households. It aims to focus on the determinants of fertility in Pakistan, specifically the determinants of the adoption of deliberate fertility regulations. The role of socio-economic modernisation and cultural factors in the determination of the potential family size and the adoption of deliberate fertility control through a knowledge of fertility regulations have also been explored. The 'Synthesis Framework' of fertility determination, applied to Sri Lanka and Colombia by Easterlin and Crimmins (1982), and with its recent modifications by Ahmed (1987), is the main vehicle for the study.
