From Individualism to Holism: Paradigm Shift on the Indian Technical Writing Scene
We are witnessing a paradigm shift towards establishing ourselves as a dynamic, progressive society, which knows its place and responsibilities within the international arena. While growing independently, we are not only paving the path for the creation of a new social order in which fresh and diverse values coexist, but are also constantly in the process of developing a harmonious relationship with each other through collaboration, rising above vested interests and conflicts.

Tips for Online Content Businesses in 2001
The online content industry has experienced its first real shakeout. Good! It toppled many high-profile online content venues and left others reeling, scrambling, and retrenching -- but it was absolutely necessary. 2001 should be an especially exciting and interesting year for the online content industry. The need for quality online content continues to expand with the Internet's popularity. However, the online content industry doesn't work like traditional media. Also, it has become painfully obvious that you really must have a solid business model to succeed in this field. Time to stop clinging to outdated assumptions about media, and to take a hard look at how online media really works. As food for thought, here are Amy's top tips for online content businesses in 2001.

If you can afford it, the Panasonic DMR-BW500 is a wonderful addition to any high definition home entertainment setup. It offers dual HD tuners, a 500GB hard disk and Blu-ray writing capabilities making it a perfect all purpose device.
Announced just moments ago, Panasonic's DMR-BW500 is Australia's first standalone Blu-ray recorder. Featuring a drive that both reads and writes Blu-ray discs, as well as a 500GB hard disk and two high-definition digital tuners this device is well suited to becoming the centrepiece of high-definition lounge rooms across the country. Although it carries a hefty price tag, it fulfils several roles at once and is a great option for users looking to make the jump to Blu-ray.
The pairing of the 500GB hard drive with the Blu-ray writer is really the key selling point of this unit. Allowing users to record content then back it up to high capacity media is a big boon, as it makes it basically impossible to run out of space. There are several recording modes. DR is the main one: it records in the same quality as the broadcast (be it SD or HD) and you can get up to 62 hours of footage at this setting on the hard disk (three hours on a 25GB BD-R). Then there are an array of others such as XP, SP and EP that range from 110 hours to 887 hours on the HDD and five hours to 42 hours on a BD-R. Users can also write footage at these three quality levels to a variety of DVD formats such as DVD-RAM and DVD-R.
In our tests the quality of the recorded footage was excellent. Even when capturing the HD broadcast television channels everything looked clear and sharp when recorded in DR. As mentioned earlier, footage that has been written to the HDD can be subsequently copied to a disc to make more space. Our test recording was 11 minutes of footage that occupied 2.8GB on the HDD. It copied across in a little over five and a half minutes, which isn't fast by normal standards, but is fine considering the quantity of data involved.
As two high-definition digital tuners are included, you can record two programs at once. If running an aerial connection through your television as well, you could even watch a third while recording the other two. You can also split the recordings, writing one to the HDD and one to BD-R.
The DMR-BW500 comes with a built in seven-day electronic program guide (EPG) that makes scheduling recordings a breeze. Functioning much like a media centre guide, you can see a grid outlining what is on right now and what is coming up and pick programs to record. You can also do nifty things like setting it up to record a particular program each week. The EPG worked relatively well but not perfectly; at times we could only browse a few hours ahead on the schedule and it seemed fickle when updating.
Another cool feature of this unit is Viera Link, which lets you use your television remote control to access most of the player's functions, assuming you have a Viera television. It works pretty well for the most part and allows for one particularly awesome function: pausing live TV. Activating this feature will automatically switch on your DMR-BW500, flick it to the appropriate channel, change your TV over to the player and then pause the tuner effectively letting you pause, rewind and fast forward television.
All the standard connectivity options you'd expect are there, including HDMI, component RCA, optical and co-axial. The output when running a Blu-ray film through the HMDI 1.3 connection was stunning; this unit definitely produces some of the best image quality we've seen. It also supports all the latest sound formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.
The design of the DMR-BW500 is a pretty standard for a home entertainment device, with a relatively slim boxy design that looks quite stylish. It has a small flip-down panel at the front that hides some basic controls, as well as an SD card slot and USB port.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I came a little late to the "Game of Thrones" party. Story of my life. I watched on and off for the first two seasons. Vanity Fair magazine calls it "the biggest, baddest, bloodiest show in TV history." That's no exaggeration.
The show is based on the series of fantasy novels written by George R.R. Martin called "A Song of Ice and Fire." It's a medieval setting in which a number of royal families vie for power and domination over each other through brute force, treachery and palace intrigue.
The books offer an index complete with character descriptions so detailed they run for dozens of pages. Super fans who have read the books don't get the shock and awe that viewers enjoy as characters you'd never expect meet their untimely ends in the most violent of fashions.
Martin's signature literary technique is the offing of prominent and popular characters without notice. No one is safe is this world of swords and sorcery. Did I mention the dragons? There are dragons that serve as the medieval equivalent of fire-breathing drones.
Put simply there are seven kingdoms all vying for the coveted Iron Throne, which is basically a Barcalounger made out of several hundred broadswords.
It's kind of like the five New York mob families. Instead of Gambinos, Bonannos and Luchesses you have Baratheons, Starks, and Targaryens. Just for fun and excitement Martin has tossed in some ghosty things called White Walkers and a Samoan-looking weightlifter tribe of warriors called Dothraki. There also are some bald-headed cannibals whom you wouldn't want to be taking any naps around on the odd chance they get peckish. You could lose a limb. Or worse.
There are kings and queens, princes, and princesses but not of the Disney variety. A Sleeping Beauty princess in Game of Thrones wouldn't be awakened with a kiss. She'd be more likely to get the Kiss of Death from some ambitious rival in the form of a rusty stake through the heart, than a smooch from a charming prince.
And speaking of Disney, there is a dwarf, (not seven), named Tyrion Lannister, played by Peter Dinklage, who does quite well for himself (so far) despite his diminutive size.
These characters also have some unusual ideas about sex, which I can't go into here (this is a family newspaper) other than to say that, well, some of it is all in the family and otherwise all over the map. Safe to say old Walt Disney would not approve.
Now that we're knee-deep into season four and the bodies are still stacking up like so many Lincoln logs, you have to respect any character who still has a head attached to a body.
But beyond the gore and the sex this is a story about power. It's about how one acquires it, wields it and holds on to it. The narrative is such a fascinating study in the art of political statecraft, that President Obama reportedly gets advanced copies of the episodes for his personal edification.
Talk about power. It's good to be the king.
Which got me to thinking about that international bestseller, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," by Steven R. Covey. It's a self-help book about business leadership. I have adapted these Covey principles as they might be applied to "Game of Thrones"
1. "Be proactive." In GOT this means have spies everywhere. Get ahead of the game before the game beheads you.
2. "Begin with the end in mind." It's all about the Iron Throne with these folks. Author Covey would be very proud of this group. It's all they think about.
3. "Understand. Then be understood." This might be translated into the adage of "Know thy enemy." A further translation might be "Kill the right people."
4. "Win/win." Cultivate allies. Nobody sits on the Iron Throne without help. There's plenty of power to go around once you've won the prize. You'll also need these same friends to help you keep the throne.
5. "Synergize." Make friends according to their various skill sets. Sure you want the guy with the biggest army. But don't forget the guy who makes the best poison.
6. "Sharpen the saw." Nothing could be more appropriate for GOT than having a sharp sword. Or saw if you really want to torture your enemies. Who wants to spend all day beheading people with a dull blade?

DrupalCon Diaries: A First Timer's Experience
by jfinks
Meet Emily Slocombe, Cloud Systems Engineer
In case you're headed to DrupalCon Prague later this month, or waiting next June for Austin, check out an engineer's perspective on attending her first DrupalCon.
It is not unusual to walk by Acquia's Operations and Hosting area in Burlington MA, and see Emily Slocombe, Cloud Systems Engineer, appearing on Max Headroom (our company's roving remote hangout cam). Coming on board in May 2012, Emily in short has the Ops chops of steel, biking stamina to be admired, and pet bunnies to swoon over. In February 2013, she (and the bunnies Miso, Rolo, Truffle, and Captain 'Percy' Perseus) relocated from our Massachusetts office to the Portland, Oregon location.
If you had to explain to your mom what you do now, how would you describe it?
Uhm, that is really not an issue. She's been in tech since the 80s. She enjoys referring to us as Emily 1.0 and Emily 2.0 (I am 2.0). If I am describing my job to let's say, my *hairdresser*, I might say "you know the really big web sites? I make sure that the stuff under them is working well. I make things go."
So, tell me about your first DrupalCon experience.
I spent most of my days in the company support war room, popping out a few times to visit the DevOps track. I did some things in the evening too, with Acquians. After it was all over, I slept for a very long time.
What surprised you?
Not much. It was exactly what I expected. I have been hearing tales of DrupalCon for a while. The bar for surprise was set high.
What DrupalCon sessions did you attend and what did you get out of them/why?
Here is what I remember going to. I went to the first keynote and then:
Put the "Ops" in "Dev": What Developers Need to Know About DevOps
I chose the 'dev in ops' talk mostly because it was Rudy Grigar presenting. Hearing the audience questions was kind of a bummer. So many people seem to be developing far away from the infrastructure they will be running on and their relationships with their ops/devops are *strained*. (Video)
Testing your Drupal Infrastructure
Barry Jaspan's talk was really good, and I'd like to make it required viewing for new Ops members. (Video)
What's New in Drush 6
Drush... quick Drupal! so cool! I had no idea! (Video)
High Performance Drupal with MariaDB (a MySQL branch)
I'd like us to revisit the Galera tests Pim van der Wal (my colleague) did. I've talked to Pim a bit about this. I also learned of some features which made me really jealous of MariaDB (we are Percona)... like killing by user, easily, in the shell. (Video)
Logging Everything (and Staying Sane)
I have been hearing this same talk since ApacheCon 2001 in Santa Clara, CA with minor variations. These problems never go away, and I still attend talks on this topic. (Video)
Where were you doing before coming to Acquia and what did you do?
Just before I started at Acquia, I was at Nokia. I was fully buzzword compliant and working in Big Data. My Hadoop clusters did cool things like crunch data from the NAVTEQ mapping cars.
What are the highlights of your current job?
I suppose the highlights can be best expressed in the nicknames I've gotten since starting at Acquia. I am stupid enough to take on some areas that others in Ops dodge. My colleague coined a bunch of them. "Mongo Girl, MySQL Girl, ded-35 Girl, Varnish Girl... " There are a few.
Critical events happen. What goes on through your mind as you navigate them? How do you keep calm under pressure?
A certain type of personality is required to thrive in Ops. I think most people in Ops are basically adrenaline junkies. We enjoy working through critical events. Our customers and coworkers depend on us being quick, efficient, and accurate. It feels great to fix things for people. When I need to keep calm, I generally look at a bunny (picture or real). It calms me right down and makes me happy.
What will you take away?
I need to be a better citizen at Acquia. Acquia and Drupal are doing some very important things, and Ops is kind of an island at times. At the very least, we can work better with Hosting-Engineering and Support. How this all gets done? I have no clue, but in proper Acquia fashion – have a Google doc I am brainstorming in.
Emily is a senior engineer within the Acquia Operations team and a core contributor to operational excellence. She and the team are seeking fellow engineers to join the adventure in all offices: Burlington, MA / Portland, OR / Reading, UK . If you are currently looking for a new DevOps gig, either now or sometime in the future, let us know. Please reach out via our Careers site even if just informational! Bikes, bunnies, and other modes of transportation or pets welcomed.
Keep calm. Hop on!

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The city of Montgomery is seeing its biggest spike in homicides since 1977, Montgomery Police Chief Kevin Murphy told a group of local leaders on Wednesday.
"Rising violent crime has been in the heart of Montgomerians in the last eight and a half months," Murphy said, during a Leadership Montgomery luncheon.
The city recorded its 39th homicide of the year on Monday night, and Murphy recognized that the uptick is "very distressing."
In August, violent crime in the city was up 28 percent from the same period in 2012. The city recorded 32 homicides in all of 2012.
In the late 1970s, the city of Montgomery saw the homicide rate reach into the 50s.
Violent crime is up slightly nationwide especially in cities like Baltimore and Chicago after years of declining crime, Murphy said.
While explaining the rising numbers of homicides, aggravated assaults and armed robberies, Murphy said the victim most likely knows their perpetrator.
Most victims of violent crime in the city also have a high victimology, meaning they likely engage in some criminal activity themselves such as dealing or using drugs, carrying illegal weapons, illegal gambling or are involved in prostitution.
Murphy has had a recent uptick in home invasions and most are drug-related. The city had a rash of home invasions in early summer, though, that targeted Indian families, he said. Those suspects were apprehended.
To show the scope of homicides committed this year, Murphy mentioned the capital murder case against Marquis Cheatham who was a U.S. Marine at the time he is accused of shooting and killing his wife during an argument on April 1 on Upper Wetumpka Road.
Murphy said the suspect was tired of his wife asking for money, and decided to travel to Montgomery from where he was stationed in North Carolina to kill her.
Another homicide involved an elderly woman accused of beating her husband to death with a broom.
Murphy said Madie Ivey apparently beat her husband to death, took a shower and went to the office at her apartment complex to tell the manager her husband wasn't breathing.
"She suffers from dementia so it will likely be hard to try," he said of the case.
Murphy mentioned other homicides that involved retaliation over a pair of stolen tennis shoes and over a stolen gun.
Murphy stressed that Montgomery Police Department is doing everything it can to lower the crime rate by tracking where crime is occurring and having officers in place and instituting new programs.

Clackamas County Search and Rescue teams searched through the night for two missing West Linn High School students who failed to return from a day hike in the densely forested Table Rock area east of Molalla.
Sixteen-year-old Bradley Nelson and 17-year-old Jackson Chandler were last seen Saturday around 3:30 p.m., when they set off on a 90-minute drive from West Linn to hike in the Molalla River Corridor.
The teens' parents alerted deputies when the boys failed to return home late Saturday, said Deputy Nate Thompson, a Clackamas County spokesperson. The search began soon after, with crews of more than 50 rescuers scouring the rugged landscape.
On Sunday, searchers located the hikers' gold 1999 Mazda pickup on a Forest Service road in the Lost Creek Meadows area, east of Table Rock. The discovery prompted crews to fan out from the vehicle to concentrate on an area crisscrossed with gravel roads, small streams, cliffs and the Table Rock fork of the Molalla River.
Fresh crews of searchers were expected between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Monday, Thompson said.
Both teens are Boy Scouts who have faced more than 36 hours of mild daytime temperatures, winds and sometimes heavy rain -- factors that could work against the experienced hikers.
"It's a benefit that it's not that cold but if you're soaking wet and it's 60 degrees with wind blowing, it's not going to take much for hypothermia to set in," Thompson said.
Thompson said one of the fathers told deputies both boys are experienced hikers. It is unclear what gear they carried.
Loved ones set up a Facebook page to link friends and relatives with the latest updates on the search.
The sheriff's office asks that anyone with information regarding the search call the tip line at 503- 723-4949.

On May 22, the Physical Education Departments of Arthur L. Johnson High School and Carl H. Kumpf Middle School recently hosted their 3rd annual American Diabetes Association's School Walk for Diabetes. The walk is designed to educate children and their school community about the growing diabetes epidemic and provide educational tools --- aligned with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education standards for physical education --- to promote the prevention of diabetes and its complications. School Walk for Diabetes is an educational school fund-raiser that supports programs aimed at curing and preventing diabetes, and improving the lives of those affected by diabetes.
Today, 25.8 million people, or 8.3% of the population, have diabetes. Diabetes is a condition where the body either does not make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it does make. The two most common forms of diabetes are:
Type 1 Diabetes --- When the body destroys its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Type 2 Diabetes --- When the body is either not making enough insulin or can't use the insulin it does make. Eating healthy foods and regularly exercising can help prevent type 2 diabetes.
This year, the two schools have collectively raised almost $6,000 in the fight against diabetes and are excited to be able to help in any way for this great cause. Here are some thoughts on the wonderful event from both teachers and students:
"Almost every student knows someone who has diabetes and the school walk is a great way to educate our students on the disease and to raise money to help find a cure." --- CHK School Walk Coordinator Michele Zaleski.
"I fundraised with the hope that one day a cure will be found. It was very exciting to hear our school did so well raising over $4,000. We should all be very proud". --- Anabela Casimiro.
"My father, who was recently diagnosed with Diabetes, was my inspiration to fundraise. I hope that all money raised will be put to good use building awareness and hopefully finding a cure". --- Salma Mahmoud.

It took a deep, long look at Sunday's 23-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks to come away with three Giants studs. The duds were much easier. In that regard, the biggest challenge was narrowing it down to three with almost the entire offense in play.
But I did my best. So here goes, beginning with the duds in that "embarrassing" game, as rookie right tackle Justin Pugh described the demolition.
Eli Manning – Just when you thought it was impossible for Eli to outdo the ineptness he's put on display this season, the Giants' struggling starting quarterback does this – 5 interceptions! That ties the record for the most by a Giants quarterback in team history, and it sets a new standard for Eli. Aside from the Hail Mary at halftime, the other interceptions came on poor throws. Manning threw behind receivers, wide of receivers, and to receivers who didn't win at the line of scrimmage. It was awful. Manning went 18-of-31 passing for 156 yards and five interceptions while doing the unthinkable – he was even worse Sunday than he'd been at any point this season.
Hakeem Nicks – The soon-to-be free agent wide receiver had just one catch for five yards. Even when Victor Cruz left with a concussion and injured knee, Nicks couldn't help his beleaguered quarterback. He failed to create separation from the Seahawks' defensive backs and didn't fight for the ball to help prevent interceptions. To cap his afternoon, Nicks disagreed with his coach's assessment that the offense was "pathetic." It was all-around debacle for Nicks.
James Brewer – I could have picked anyone on the Giants' offensive line. They just couldn't block the Seahawks' talented defensive front. But Brewer was the worst of the bunch. The young guard was manhandled on the interior and whiffed on several blocks, none as ugly as the one he missed out in the open field on a screen pass to running back Andre Brown in the second quarter. Brewer's day ended early with an injury/benching. He was replaced by third-year guard Brandon Mosley after suffering a minor ankle injury in the third quarter.
Antrel Rolle – This was your typical 2013 Antrel Rolle performance, complete with big hits, impact plays and a boatload of passion. Rolle finished with seven total tackles, an interception and a pass defended. The interception was the sixth of his career and set a new career high. It was another Pro Bowl effort in a meaningless Giants contest, and it was capped by a passionate defense of coach Tom Coughlin.
Cullen Jenkins – The veteran defensive tackle had another real strong game where he spent a ton of time in the backfield. Jenkins' final line says he had a 0.5 sack, tackle for loss and two quarterback hurries. There were also several plays he disrupted with penetration deep in the Seattle backfield. Jenkins has really come on of late (3.5 sacks in his last four games) and proven to be a quality offseason acquisition.
Jerrel Jernigan – He had 13 career catches in almost three seasons coming into Sunday. He had seven receptions on eight targets for 67 yards against the Seahawks. It was a breakout game for the 2011 third-round pick out of Troy, who looked capable and quick in his first extended action at wide receiver this season. Jernigan also had a 31-yard kickoff return after being reinserted to the position he lost after fumbling in Week 9 against the Raiders. It was an encouraging afternoon for the young receiver/returner.

Double dates [30 December 2008]
You recently uploaded a GEDCOM that created several duplicate entries because the individuals were already entered into WeRelate. In the process of cleaning up these duplicates, I noticed you entered several dates of the form: "BET Mar 22 1706 & Mar 22 1707" for dates normally expressed as 22 Mar 1706/7. Your form is an incorrect interpretation of what the date means.
Prior to 1753, the beginning of the year was considered to be March 25th. So dates before March 25 were considered part of the previous year. So a date might be written as March 22, 1706 back in colonial times, but in today's calendar, the same date would have been written March 22, 1707. This distinction can impact age calculations, the order children were born, etc.
A simple date like 22 Mar 1706 raises some ambiguity about which date is intended by the genealogist, so most genealogists write March 22 1706/7 to indicate that the date was written March 22, 1706 originally, but the actual date is now considered March 22, 1707 [this ignores the 10 day shift which is largely ignored for convenience since it has little effect].
Thus, the form 22 Mar 1706/7 does not represent a range of dates, but exactly one specific date. It should not be entered with the word "between". One could enter 22 Mar 1706 but a reader would wonder if you mean 22 Mar 1706, or possibly 22 Mar 1705 written in its modern form. Thus the best form is 22 Mar 1706/07 since that represents unambiguously one specific date. --Jrich 13:34, 29 December 2008 (EST)
I'm sorry but I am totally confused on what you are trying to say. I simply downloaded a Gedcom file and I'm sorry if my format was a problem. Tell me what I need to do? I am new to Werelate.--Lsinc 22:03, 29 December 2008 (EST)
I am guessing either your dates were entered into your genealogy software wrong, or your software is inept, since the dates transmitted by your GEDCOM file were poorly formatted. You should scan the pages you uploaded and fix them. For example, see Family:Joseph Underwood and Unknown (3).
I noticed one source on a page: Lsinc/Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints/Joseph NASH (AFN: HQ6K-GD). The problem with using AFN as a source is that it does not give any basis for how the fact is known. Thus, the data could be based on vital records, as for Joseph Nash's birthdate (Source:The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, p. 3:269, Early Records of Weymouth, or Source:Vital records of Weymouth, Massachusetts, to the year 1850, p. 193). But it could equally well be somebody's guess, and the AFN format does not indicate which it is.
In Joseph Nash's case, for example, I have found no evidence for the first wife Mary that you added and the AFN does not communicate in any way why this connection was made even though it has only an estimated marriage date, no known surname for Mary, and no children attributed to this marriage? Was she mentioned in a deed? There is a Joseph and Mary Nash who lived in CT. Was this a misidentification?
AFN also seems to have no quality control. So while, some AFN records are very accurate, others are horribly inaccurate. There is no way to tell which it is without tracking down more primary sources anyway. So, they may provide useful hints, but do not make good sources. --Jrich 10:37, 30 December 2008 (EST)
No there is nothing wrong with my software it's the way I entered the dates. Again, I am not a professional and I entered the dates the way I thought they should be entered. I am starting to think that I don't belong here and may delete my family tree. :(--Lsinc 10:42, 30 December 2008 (EST)
I don't think many of the users of WeRelate are professionals. I am not sure a professional would be interested in sharing his information for free. It is not a requirement to be professional in order to be a user of WeRelate, though it appears to me that several of the users of WeRelate have similar knowledge and skills as professional genealogists. This suggests the data in WeRelate will gradually approach a very high quality. As a user, that is my hope.
Unfortunately there has been a discussion about uploading GEDCOMs going on for a while. Since WeRelate is one big shared tree, when you upload a GEDCOM it has the potential to change pages that have been carefully input by the various users requiring them to possibly redo the work. This is partly what happened with your GEDCOM upload. It is hard to know this ahead of time.
But I think you will find a lot of value in WeRelate. For example, obviously your upload linked into some existing individuals and families, and WeRelate provides additional family members and additional information for some of the people in your GEDCOM. --Jrich 11:25, 30 December 2008 (EST)

So it's surprising that the third act of the film (at the shelter) is dramatically the weakest. But none of the other residents of the shelter get fully drawn. Apple has a change of heart about a key decision near the end of the film, and it is so sudden that for the first time the script calls on Hudgens to deliver a dramatic monologue rather than talk naturally. This seems to come from nowhere—a fact reinforced by teens at a test screening, who interpreted Apple's decision as a rejection of her father, rather than an embrace of her life at the shelter.
But the movie remains deeply disturbing and emotionally compelling. The film's pro-life message is so strong in part because it is lived out rather than presented in the form of a rhetorical argument. Apple's inner moral compass overrides the devil's logic that the abortion is a necessary step towards a renewed relationship with her biological father.
Her father and step-mother are not presented as self-aware monsters but as deeply morally confused. Their arguments for the abortion—and their inability to see the faulty assumptions on which they stand—are less an indictment of them, more of the cultural environment that helped spawn their attitudes. Dad never disavows his advice to terminate the pregnancy, nor does he seem aware that if his argument is carried to its logical conclusion, it implies to Apple that she herself should have been aborted. Hudgens's portrayal is spot on as she shows that Apple's emotional scars stemming from dad's rejection are as deep and painful as any of the physical marks left by her mother's abuse.
Although the film has a strong pro-life message, it doesn't reduce Christian faith or social justice to just that one issue. Difiore said, "I think we inhibit ourselves when we tie ourselves to nomenclature." She added: "The film is 'pro' a lot of things. It's pro-compassion. It's pro-God. It's really pro-love." That it cares about being all those things makes Gimme Shelter an easy film to endorse despite its less polished style.
Caveat Spectator
At PG-13, Gimme Shelter is perhaps grittier than many inspirational films, but it avoids the more explicit representations of the world it depicts that might offend the sensibilities of its viewers. Disturbing content is suggested rather displayed. The scene in which Apple is attacked by her mother wielding a razor blade is the most violent. In it, director Ron Krauss uses some quick cuts and careful editing to avoid showing what is happening. There is some interpersonal violence. Apple's mother strikes Kathy as she tries to guide her out of the shelter, and Apple is momentarily threatened by a man who senses she is homeless and appears to try to kidnap her. Apple's child birthing scene is loud but filmed chastely, and while it is (naturally) implied that Apple has been sexually active, that fact is only spoken of, not depicted.

No changes in store for TEAM, Montessori programs
By TRACEY COOPER
Staff writer
Out-of-district TEAM and Montessori students are likely to remain in the program for the 2004-2005 school year, Central Kitsap School District officials announced March 24.
The change of heart by district officials was based on the number of applications submitted to both programs at Tracyton Elementary means they have enough students to keep current staffing levels, said Dirk Gleysteen, director of operations for the district.
While TEAM and Montessori program parents were pleased with the decision, they were also tentative.
Its something positive, said Arina Caton. Caton, who serves as the Montessori Parents Association facilitator and lives outside the CK School District.
In January, district administrators met with parents when it looked as if both programs would lose a teacher because of lagging enrollment. They also heard concerns from parents about a policy revision that tightened the reigns on out-of-district enrollment. Under the revised policy, out-of-district students would be enrolled in the district on a space-available, year-to-year basis.
Both programs had enrolled students under the assumption that out-of-district students who are accepted stay in the program. Over the years siblings were accepted and out-of-district enrollment grew.
Emily Manson, president for the TEAM parents advisory committee criticized the way the district handled the situation.
It put a lot of stress on everyone, she said.
Parents should receive a letter by this Friday notifying them if their child is still in the TEAM or Montessori program.
In other business, the school board heard a presentation from Klahowya students and staff on the schools improvement plan. The regular meeting was held at the secondary school.
The next regularly scheduled meeting is 7 p.m. April 28 at Clear Creek Elementary School. A study session concerning the 2004-05 budget and I-728 begins at 5 p.m.

On Friday, the Boys Scouts announced its proposal to end its long-standing ban on gay Scouts, but not its exclusion of gay Scout leaders. The Scouts' National Council will vote on it next month.
If that's the best the Boy Scouts could do, consider it a failed effort.
Only last summer, the organization insisted it would never permit gays in scouting. Leaders called it "absolutely the best policy for the Boy Scouts." Then big sponsors stopped writing checks. First Intel, then UPS and Merck — all blaming the Boy Scouts' ban.
By January, the Boy Scouts reversed itself, saying it would end the national ban — though local troops would still be free to discriminate. Even that shaky progress prompted backlash. So the Boy Scouts pulled back, promising a solution by May's national meetings in Texas.
This is what they came up with: yes to gay youth, no to gay grown-ups. Age-restricted bigotry that falls far short of meaningful change.
By continuing to tell gay and lesbian adults they're unwelcome as scout leaders, it sends a clear message to young scouts — whether gay, or simply unsure about their sexuality — that they're unwelcome, too. We'll tolerate you now, it says, but the clock is ticking.
By design or by accident, it perpetuates the myth that gay men and women must be kept from the kids. It reinforces a dangerous gay-men-are-predators fiction. In this middle ground, nobody wins.
On a larger scale, the Scouts' half-baked proposal signals a wobbly commitment to ending their discriminatory behavior. If the organization's leaders believe this is the way to woo back sponsors, they're deluding themselves.
They seemed to come so far. In 2000, the Boy Scouts fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to preserve its gay ban on moral grounds. What's changed? Boy Scouts membership has plummeted 21 percent since then, most steeply among the younger Cub Scouts. But the threat is two-edged: Troops and churches warned they might abandon the century-old Scouts if the ban were lifted.
Admittedly, this is a controversy with an expiration date: Many in scouting want to hold on to so-called traditional values. But the Scouts' own surveys show that teen scouts, and young parents, oppose the group's gay discrimination. In the trend toward equal rights, the Boy Scouts already finds itself far behind. As younger leaders rise, the balance will shift entirely.
Will change come in time to save scouting? History is moving quickly — it's possible the Boy Scouts could waffle its way to extinction.

Carver County's history is documented in the records of its cities, city agencies, and government center. Schools, school districts, churches, and civic groups have archives as well. Four historical societies call Carver County home. These are the Chanhassen Historical Society, the Chaska Historical Society, the Watertown Area Historical Society, and the Willkommen Heritage and Preservation Society of Norwood Young America.
An artist's rendering of Jonathan Village, late 1960s or early 1970s.
The 1960s and 1970s were a time of rapid suburban growth. City planners in these decades were frustrated with the growing problems of pollution, traffic, and creating new neighborhoods as cities spread. One solution to this idea was the "new town" movement. Designed as planned communities, these "towns" tried to organize the design and growth of the town in advance to better deal with urban sprawl. The community of Jonathan, located within the existing city of Chaska, was built along these concepts.

On the evening of May 2, 1878, the Washburn A Mill exploded in a fireball, hurling debris hundreds of feet into the air. In a matter of seconds, a series of thunderous explosions—heard ten miles away in St. Paul—destroyed what had been Minneapolis' largest industrial building, and the largest mill in the world, along with several adjacent flour mills. It was the worst disaster of its type in the city's history, prompting major safety upgrades in future mill developments.

MOBILE, Alabama -- One club owner calls it "the honeymoon." Another cautions that it's a marathon, not a sprint. No matter what metaphor you favor, this much is certain: Carnival is a season of music, and area venues — particularly those on or near Mobile's main parade routes — step up their game at Mardi Gras time.
From a distance, the formula seems pretty simple: More people plus more music equals more good times. That's true as far as it goes. But, as with many aspects of the Carnival season, what looks like anarchy can take months of planning to achieve.
The formula makes for a good starting point. Because more people will be downtown, it makes sense to give them more to listen to.
"I always beef up my music," said Noell Broughton. "I always have. Mardi Gras is the honeymoon for us downtown. … I always stick my neck out a little more because you know the crowds are going to be there."
Broughton has owned multiple venues over the years, including the late, lamented Monsoon's. These days, he's proprietor of Studio 5'4", which is mainly a dance club, and The Brickyard, which features live bands.
He said he's taking a few chances this year, putting some new bands into a rotation that has consisted mainly of familiar favorites. He's got some confidence that the diversification will pay off, but he doesn't take it for granted. That's because, if there's one thing everyone seems to agree on, it's that Carnival crowds are a little bit different. It's not just business as usual with more volume.
"The crowds are very excited, in-the-moment, fun crowds," said Brad Young, co-owner of Soul Kitchen Music Hall. "We definitely get the people who are in town for Mardi Gras and the people who don't come downtown except for Mardi Gras. But everybody seems to share the same kind of home-team attitude – hey, let's party, it's Mardi Gras."
"During Mardi Gras is definitely a late crowd that hits downtown," said Huka Entertainment's Dan Merker, who has booked shows at multiple downtown venues. "And they drink a lot more, too."
Broughton said a laissez-faire attitude tends to prevail: Bar owners, security staff and even the police put up with a little more than they ordinarily would, because they know people are having fun, not making trouble. (There are limits, of course. Just ask anyone who's gotten busted for jumping a barricade.)
"The crowds are way different," said Broughton. "We all kind of take it with a grain of salt. That's when the rookies come out … but those people are just out for a good time, too."
Young said he thinks of Carnival as a relatively trouble-free time, despite all the activity. "It's one time when everybody's understanding," he said.
There are challenges. For example, the Mobile Saenger Theatre sits right in the middle of the action, but it has tended to stay dark during Mardi Gras. There are certain obstacles: Getting a stand-up parade crowd to settle into a stately sit-down venue is a challenge, and parades definitely complicate traffic, parking and other logistical issues.
Still, "There is that right act …" said Merker, indicating that Huka might book a Carnival-season show at the Saenger if the stars line up. Never say never.
Meanwhile, venues such as Soul Kitchen will continue to stack the deck for Mardi Gras crowds, capitalizing on the opportunities of the season. On Feb. 14, Soul Kitchen kicks off its season with the return of jam band Particle. For many, a performance by eclectic New Orleans funk band Galactic on Feb. 28 will be a high-water mark. This is a band that knows all about Mardi Gras – in 2012, it released "Carnivale Electricos," an album inspired by the season –- and it's been a regular visitor to Mobile in recent years.
"They love Mobile, and they love that date," Young said of the Friday before Fat Tuesday. The same goes for the '80s cover band The Molly Ringwalds, who'll play the next day. "The Mollies and Galactic have shared that weekend for the last three or four years," Young said.
This year there's another addition that highlights the possibilities of Carnival. Colorado-based Big Gigantic is a band whose music combines elements of live rock, jazz and hip-hop with electronic dance music. They've appeared at the Hangout Music Fest, and this year they'll play Soul Kitchen on Lundi Gras, Monday, March 3.
Any other time of the year, a Monday night gig probably wouldn't fly. But when everybody has Tuesday off, it's a much easier sell. "They were normally going to take the night off," said Young.
Asked for any "dos" or "don'ts" he's picked up over the years, Young said that venue operators, just like their patrons, have to know their limits.
"As a club owner, a 'do' would be to try to pace yourself," he said. "I don't mean alcohol, I mean the hours we spend down there. You can't spend every hour down there during Mardi Gras. You need to kind of ration your staff. Everybody's going to be worn thin by the end of it, but try to pace yourself and your staff, where you're not delirious from being at work for 70 hours in such a short span.
"I don't think there are any 'dont's,' "he said. "It's Mardi Gras."

Gary Stevens, who rode some great fillies in his Hall of Fame career, considers Tiffany Lass among the best.
"She's right there with Winning Colors and Silverbulletday,'' Stevens said. "They're mentioned in the same breath. (Tiffany Lass) gave me by first Classic win in the Kentucky Oaks.
"Her picture is right when you walk in my house in Kentucky. Her picture is the first thing you see.''
Tiffany Lass, who was based for most of the 1985-86 Fair Grounds season under trainer Angel Barrera, won four races in New Orleans on her way to winning the Eclipse Award for being the champion 3-year-old filly of 1986. She was the first Fair Grounds-based filly to win the Fair Grounds Oaks and Kentucky Oaks. Technically, she was the first filly period to win that double, though it could be argued that Davona Dale was the first.
(The Fair Grounds Oaks started in 1966. In an embarrassing move in 1978, the Fair Grounds ran its Oaks in divisions for 3- and 4-year-old fillies. The next year, the Debutante Stakes for 3-year-old fillies was run in place of the Fair Grounds Oaks. Davona Dale won the Debutante Stakes and Kentucky Oaks in 1979. In 1980, the Fair Grounds Oaks re-appeared.)
From 1992 through 2010, the Fair Grounds honored Tiffany Lass by running a stakes race named for her. The Tiffany Lass was the first two-turn stakes prep for the Fair Grounds Oaks.
On Sept. 28, the day when the retirement of Rachel Alexandra was made public, the Fair Grounds decided to name the final prep for the Fair Grounds Oaks for her. She certainly is a part of Fair Grounds history, having won the Fair Grounds Oaks in 2009 on the way to earning Horse of the Year and having been based at the Fair Grounds last season. Her appearance in the first New Orleans Ladies drew a huge crowd and created lots of interest, even though she lost.
But there was an unfortunate consequence to the decision to name a race for Rachel Alexandra. The selected race had been the Silverbulletday. To preserve that name, the Fair Grounds gave it to the race that had been the Tiffany Lass.
It appeared that Tiffany Lass might be the odd filly out. She didn't deserve that, not as great as she was, and not with her strong Fair Grounds ties. It would have been horrible for the Fair Grounds not to run a Tiffany Lass.
"That would have broke my heart if they had not named a race back for her,'' Stevens said.
Thankfully, the Fair Grounds has fixed the situation. A new six-furlong stakes race for 3-year-old fillies has been named the Tiffany Lass, Eric Halstrom, track vice president/general manager for racing, said Sunday. The first running will be Feb. 5.
Six furlongs were no problem for Tiffany Lass. She showed at the Fair Grounds that she could sprint and carry her speed around two turns.
A daughter of Bold Forbes and the Graustark mare Sally Stark, Tiffany Lass was bred and owned by Oregon lumberman Aaron Jones. She began her career in California under trainer Laz Barrera, who trained such standouts as Affirmed and Bold Forbes on the way to the Hall of Fame.
After Tiffany Lass won a maiden race in her debut as a 2-year-old late in 1985 at Hollywood Park, Laz Barrera sent her to the Fair Grounds barn of his oldest brother, Angel.
"Aaron Jones didn't want to run her out there,'' said Joe Barrera, Angel's son. "He knew that track was like cement.''
Angel Barrera, who saddled his first Fair Grounds winner in 1935, trained horses for more than 50 years. He died in 1996. An outstanding horseman, he did an exceptional job with Tiffany Lass.
Early in 1986, she made her Fair Grounds debut in an allowance sprint, dominating her rivals by five lengths under jockey Ricky Frazier. In her first stakes start, she won the six-furlong Thelma by nine lengths. Trying two turns for the first time in the Davona Dale, she won by three. In the Fair Grounds, she faced her first rigorous test, holding off Patricia J.K. by three-quarters of a length. Angel Barrera was the trainer of record for all of those races.
Her next start was in the Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Despite her undefeated record, Tiffany Lass was the third choice in the betting, behind Family Style and I'm Splendid, in a stellar field. In her final workout at the Fair Grounds before that race, she ran a slow half-mile, just what Angel wanted her to do. Laz called Angel.
"He said: 'What are you doing? The man (Jones) thought she broke down.''' Joe said.
"(Laz) said if the horse won, it's Angel. If she loses, it's mine. My dad and Lazaro were always close.''
Joe Barrera said that Tiffany Lass' performance in the Fantasy was her best. Stevens, who rode her in California, was back aboard in place of Frazier. She led all the way, kicking clear to win by 2 ½ lengths over Lotka, trained by Woody Stephens.
"I'll tell you what, she surprised Lazaro at the Fantasy,'' Joe Barrera said. "Lazaro didn't think she was that good until after that race. He kept telling my dad about My Darling One (who won the Fair Grounds Oaks and Fantasy in 1984). He didn't think (Tiffany Lass) was beating anything. After that race, he was impressed.''
Stephens shook Angel's hand, Joe Barrera said. "He said, 'That was an amazing training job.'''
In the Kentucky Oaks, Tiffany Lass rallied along the rail and edged Life At the Top by a head for the victory. "Life At the Top, they thought they won the race,'' Joe Barrera said. "They were at the winner's circle. They were so embarrassed. Gary Stevens raised his whip. He didn't raise his whip if he didn't win.''
Stevens said, "I was positive I got up.''
Joe Barrera said: "Nobody knows this: She was in heat at the Kentucky Oaks. She won despite her problems.''
Tiffany Lass didn't race again as a 3-year-old. She had surgery to repair a broken bone. Like Rachel Alexandra, Tiffany Lass didn't show her best form as a 4-year-old. She won one of three starts at Hollywood Park in 1987 before being retired. Overall, she won eight of 10 races, with one second and one third.
The Fair Grounds is where she developed into a champion. She played a important role in establishing the reputation of the Fair Grounds Oaks as a prep for the Kentucky Oaks. Six fillies after her – Blushing K.D. in 1997, Silverbulletday in 1999, Ashado in 2004, Summerly in 2005, Proud Spell in 2008 and Rachel Alexandra in 2009 – completed the Fair Grounds Oaks-Kentucky Oaks double. The Fair Grounds should celebrate its history, and Tiffany Lass is a major part of it.
Anyone who saw her race at the Fair Grounds won't forget her. Her name belongs on a Fair Grounds race.
"As long as they have one for her, I'm happy,'' Joe Barrera said.
Halstrom said: "It looks like we got it right.''
