Eager Evaluation of Partial Tree-Pattern Queries on XML Streams

Current streaming applications have stringent requirements on query response time and memory consumption because of the large (possibly unbounded) size of data they handle. Further, known query evaluation algorithms on streaming XML documents focus almost exclusively on tree-pattern queries(TPQs). However recently, requirements for flexible querying of XML data have motivated the introduction of query languages that are more general and flexible than TPQs. These languages are not supported by known algorithms.
In this paper, we consider a language which generalizes and strictly contains TPQs. Queries in this language can be represented as dags enhanced with constraints. We explore this representation to design an original polynomial time streaming algorithm for these queries. Our algorithm avoids storing and processing matches of the query dag that do not contribute to new solutions (redundant matches). Its key feature is that it applies an eager evaluation strategy to quickly determine when node matches should be returned as solutions to the user and also to proactively detect redundant matches. We experimentally test its time and space performance. The results show the superiority of the eager algorithm compared to the only known algorithm for this class of queries which is a lazy algorithm.

Managing the online communications
structure for a school district is hard.
Managing your own personal email
inbox? Probably harder. There are
ways to deal besides handing it off
to an assistant.
Michael Linenberger, author
of Master Your Workday Now!:
Proven Strategies to Control
Chaos, Create Outcomes,
& Connect Your Work to
Who You Really Are (New
Academy Publishers, 2010)
and Total Workday Control
Using Microsoft Outlook,
3rd edition (New Academy
Publishers, 2011), specializes in
organization. Here is a quick look at
his tried-and-true philosophy for getting
control of your Microsoft Outlook
inbox. The strategy can be applied to
most email clients.
Reconfigure the Task
Linenberger estimates that only five
percent of Outlook users consistently
use the Task Manager. "People give up
on it quickly because it's configured
poorly," he says. "It's based on 50-yearold
principles of task management that
no longer apply."
Out of the box, Outlook puts the
oldest tasks at the top of list in bright
red, but Linenberger has a simple way
to apply a methodology that's more in
line with the way we work today.
"I assert that 80 to 90 percent of
our new work these days comes in
through email," he says. "Our inbox is
not designed to be a task-management
system but that's what we use it for.
Email doesn't have the tools to manage,
prioritize, delegate, assign, or date
them, which is what we need. All it
has is a flag, which isn't enough.
"We keep emails of tasks
we hope to get to, which
locks your inbox. We can't
file or throw it away
because we're afraid
we'll lose it. The titles
of emails rarely have
anything to do with the
tasks, so we have to
open each email and reread
it, which is horribly
So what should you do?
Linenberger divides incoming
emails into one of three
urgency zones:
1 Critical Now: It must be handled
today. There can be no more than five
and they should be checked continually,
e.g., once an hour.
2 Opportunity Now: Maybe do today,
but must be handled within 10 days.
These should be kept to 20 and
checked at least once a day).
3 Over the Horizon: These items can
wait 10 days or longer. Can contain an
unlimited amount and must be checked
once a week.
He converts each email into a task
and files it into the proper zone. "When
you do this, your inbox becomes tension-
free. All the action requests are in
your task system and you can file away
your inbox and it becomes clean."
For more information on
Linenberger's system, watch the
Getting Started video on his Web
site, take a webinar, or check out
one of his books. www.michaellinenberger.com
School CIO Advisors speak out
"I do my 'one-touch rule.' I try to 'touch' the email only once: open it, deal with it, file it or delete
it. I also cc myself on any responses that I want a record of and delete the original."
—Jennifer Harriton-Wilson, director of special, remedial, and assessment
services & CIO, Haldane (NY) Central School District
School CIO
Advisors speak out
"Reading email
is a scheduled
activity in the
day. Because of
how it is often
used, it may
take two or
three times during the day.
Because many people try to
use email like a telephone call
('Hey, I need a reply NOW!')
or they use text messaging
to imply an immediate
need, you need to help
people understand how you
manage communications.
Also, remember where
you work. Many of your
important clients are teachers
and principals who are not
sitting at their desk waiting
with bated breath for a
communication from you."
—Gordon Dahlby, educational
consultant for leadership in
policy, planning and practice
"My best survival
technique is
to make very
generous use
of the applying
filters, not just to
specific email addresses, but
to email domains. Filters that
put the email from domains
directly into the trash."
— Doug Johnson, director of
media and technology, Mankato
(MN) Area Public Schools
"I have several different email accounts, which helps to
manage things. I can work on what I want to work on from a
separate email account—for example, for the college I teach
for work, for personal email, shopping, and so on."
—Nancy Caramanico, instructional technology specialist and School CIO
* Try not to fall more than one day behind.
* Use follow-up flags to check request status.
* Keep attachments on email string; use forward
instead of reply.
* Keep emails very short.
* Use IM if information can be provided.
* Try to use as few attachments as possible; link to documents.

Louie Cogburn had spent three days holed up in his apartment, staring at his computer screen. His pounding headache was unbearable - like spikes drilling into his brain. And it was getting worse. Finally, when someone knocked at his door, Louie picked up a baseball bat, opened the door, and started swinging...
The first cop on the scene fired his stunner twice and Louie died instantly. Detective Eve Dallas has taken over the investigation, but there's nothing to explain the man's sudden rage or death. The only clue is a bizarre message left on his computer screen: Absolute Purity Achieved.
And when a second man dies under nearly identical circumstances, Dallas starts racking her brain for answers and for courage to face the impossible... that this might be a computer virus able to spread from machine to man....

"Great story"
Showed a softer side of Eve. Showed that she can let others in and she can care about others. She's learning what it means to have a family and close friends. As always Susan did an AWESOME job of narrating. I'm so glad they stayed with her and didn't which up. I think it would lose something if they change narrators.
"A Pure Eve Dallas Mystery.."
Loved this plot line..a pure eve dallas novel but with visits from old plots..from people who we never thought to see again..
Always after books that read well in the tractor!
"Great Interaction with Side Characters"
This one wasnt all about the case, but had some great moments with side characters. I loved that the boy came back, and we get to see him growing up.
the ending surprised me, but was believable and had good basis.
Another good one!
"Another hit"
Once again JDRobb and Susan Ericksen team for another spelling binding adventure of Lt Eve Dallas. Really showed the more gentle side of Dallas.
"Love,love,love Eve and Roake"
I Love everything about this book. Couldn't stop listening to it until I was finished.😍
"performing and reading"
Susan Erickson rocks again ! No one else could perform and read this book like she does.
"One of her best!"
The story was good. The sex was good and the performance was spot on. I would definitely recommend it.
"Always love the story lines."
Never a dull moment in these books. I've been reading these for years. Now I'm listening to them which is better for my eyes.

Macro script with data extraction to spreadsheet.
- Status Completed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 17
Project Description
This project is for the creation of a macro script that will tally our previous day's revenues across several ad networks, and output it into a spreadsheet. The output could be in a Google Apps' spreadsheet if you are using browser-based macros (ie. iMacro), which we can then copy/paste into Microsoft Excel daily. That's not a problem.
- The macro needs to be flexible and easy to change, so we can easily add/remove ad networks.
- Several networks may use the same platform (for example Appnexus). So in this case, we shouldn't need to re-record the steps for the macro again. In the spreadsheet, we should be able to specify the platform, and the macro script should load the appropriate script accordingly.
- Ideally, the macro should rely on the login credentials stored in Firefox to login so that the spreadsheet does not contain any privilege information. This is easy to implement since when the username provided for each network is input into the login screen, Firefox can automatically populate the password from the locally stored credentials.
- The macro should "wait" for the revenue to load. For example, after running yesterday's report, the reporting interface may say something like "Loading…" while the revenue is being calculated. Only after the revenue is displayed would the macro copy/paste that information into an Excel. If the revenue is not displayed as expected after X minutes (ie. 1 minute), it would timeout, write "ERROR" where it would usually paste the revenue information, and move on to the next network.
Project Summary:
- Here is what the sample spreadsheet will look like: [url removed, login to view]
- The "revenue" information is to be extracted from each ad network and populated into the spreadsheet daily (could be a Google Apps spreadsheet or Microsoft Excel)
- In this example, there is a custom macro script for Adsense, Vibrant and ValueClick ("MacroScript" column)
- For Adconion, Burst and CPX – who are using Appnexus, there is a single macro script (although the domains may be different)
- When the username is entered into Firefox, since the login credentials are saved in the browser, it will populate the password automatically. Where Firefox struggles to populate the password, the spreadsheet would list it and the macro should be able to copy/paste it into the website (as in the ValueClick example)
- After logging into each ad network's website, and selecting the fields to load yesterday's revenues, it will wait for the revenue figure to be loaded before copying/pasting it into the spreadsheet (ignoring things like "Loading…") < [this is what I struggled with; the rest of the project should be easy!]
- If the revenue figure is not loaded after X minutes (ie. 1 minute), the appropriate revenue column for the network would be populated with "ERROR" for manual review
- After each revenue figure is populated or timed out, the macro continues to the next network in the spreadsheet (ie. Adsense, then Vibrant, then ValueClick) – until it hits the end of the spreadsheet and then finishes
- The revenue column should be a standard format – so ignore things like the "$" sign, have 2 decimal places, etc.
For anyone familiar with macros, this should be a relatively easy project. I'm not too experienced with macros, and I can achieve most of the above myself. The part I struggle with is getting the macro to ignore the "Loading…" part before extracting yesterday's revenue figure after it loads.
Please post your bid, and if you feel the project should be below/above the stated range, feel free to bid accordingly. Also note that part of the project is explaining to me how I can record new macros for additional networks and have it input the previous day's revenue into the spreadsheet.

Mamacafé is a restaurant with international cuisine, located in an old art gallery. The space is divided into two atmospheres, the entrance and the inner room. The décor is colourful and the great window from where you can see the kitchen is perfect for the watchful folk. They are usually full for lunch and if you are a group, you'll have to book in advance, so they can prepare a special menu. The basically Mediterranean menu, with international influences, includes some vegetarian dishes. The supply is small but it changes constantly, considering products of season and giving attention to a balanced diet.

Sasha, UNER, Funkagenda, Matt Darey
Given his advancing years, it's perhaps unsurprising that Sasha works slowly. This follow-up to his well-loved Invol2ver CD - a collection that set out to blur the boundaries between artist album, DJ mix and remix set - has been promised for four years. Still, fans will think it was worth the wait. Not just because Sasha delivers multiple versions of each remix and has conjured up two DJ mixes (one for clubs, the other beatless), but also because there's a distinctly progressive house feel throughout. Of course, there are contemporary influences - the shuffle of big room tech-is never far away - but Involv3r's greatest strength is that it doesn't really sound like anything else. Put simply, it's Sasha through and through.

License plate Clear Cover
December 2, 2014
I think it was weirdly worth it and only time will tell when the snow has to be brushed off many times in the winter. It is very shiny for polycarbonate plastic and looks like glasses for a license plate.
Pros:It makes plate safer and shines like rest of car.

LUCIEN GOLDSCHMIDT was a citizen of the world. He would have liked to be called that, but it would be more true to say that the world of which he was a citizen was one that he had largely created. His life was divided between books and the world of art. Booksellers and art dealers normally lead rather separate careers, but Goldschmidt combined both, giving to each his own individual, highly independent, taste. Words and images combined to form an outlook on the world that was, in one word, civilised.
Goldschmidt was born in Brussels in 1912, but was educated at the College Royal Francais in Berlin. When he graduated, he went to work in Paris with Pierre Beres, a year younger than he was. After four years together, Goldschmidt set off for New York to set up a branch there. It was a courageous move; the Depression was far from over, and prints and books could only be sold for a few dollars then, which he was later to see multiply in value many hundred times. But he soon made his mark. There were two great collectors, Lessing Rosenwald and Philip Hofer, who shared his joint passion for books and graphic art, preferably in combination. Their collections, now at the Library of Congress and National Gallery at Washington and at the Houghton Library at Harvard, contain many pieces contributed by Goldschmidt, whose own taste, as forward-looking as appreciative of the past, had a formative influence on that of his customers.
Young students at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York came to the shop that he established at 6 West 56th Street, just off Fifth Avenue. Among those who bought their first prints there were Carl Schniewind, later curator of prints and drawings at the Brooklyn Museum and then at the Chicago Art Institute, Alan Shestack and Seymour Slive, who became directors fo the Museum of Fine Arts and the Fogg Museum at Boston. Goldschmidt found, too, friends among other art dealers: Alexandre Rosenberg, Peter Deltsch and Curt Valentin, and those who also sold books alongside graphic art, Charles Sessler and Jacob Zeitlin. In 1953, after 20 years with Beres, he set up his own at 1117 Madison Avenue.
The first print that he sold in 1937 was one of Picasso's Salome, taken before the plate was steel- faced. In 1949, after his return from three years of war service, he published Matisse's Jazz in the USA. It was slow to sell at dollars 350 then, but Goldschmidt lived to see the present Matisse exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art packed with crowds. In between, he had put on exhibitions, published catalogues and benefited the history of art in countless ways. The most enduring monument of his scholarship will be the collected letters of Toulouse-Lautrec which he edited in conjunction with Herbert Schimmel. Published in 1969, the texts, copiously and carefully annotated, provided an accurate biography of the artist for the first time.
But Goldschmidt ranged far beyound the art of the last hundred years. Old master drawings of any period or place awoke his fastidious expertise. It was he who identified the Sebastiano del Piombo drawing of Clement VII dividing the New World, with Charles V standing by. He offered it first to the Metropolitan Museum, who finally rejected it; the British Museum was wiser and bought it, 30 years ago now, for a mere dollars 900. He had a passionate interest in early photography, particularly in the first books to be illustrated with photographs. No one had studied the subject before, and the exhibition 'The Truthful Lens' at the Grolier Club, with the admirable monograph by Weston J. Naef and Goldschmidt, broke new ground. He was also fascinated, long before others, by architectural drawings, and only recently found and sold to the Canadian Center for Architecture the archives of the Rohault de Fleury family.
Although the visual arts formed a large part of Goldschmidt's world-view (recognised last year by the International Fine Print Dealers Association's Lifetime Achievement Award), he was as interested in the human mind. His catalogue The Good Citizen was an original approach to political theory from the ancient world to the present day, represented by books seen, as Goldschmidt always saw, from the point of view of the individual. In this, as in all else, he was original and independent.
Despite his slight figure, he was immensely strong; he put up with discomfort or hard work without complaint, indeed without seeming to notice. His integrity in daily life as in scholarship radiated from him and, with his capacity to belong wherever he was, gave him more than physical strength. His wife Marguerite shared in all this; children and grandchildren became part of it, as did the assistants (most recently Jane Carpenter) at the shop, whose careers, with him and after they moved on, he watched protectively. He formally retired from the business in 1987, but not from his always active life.

I'm back for one day and what shows up? SNAKES ON A PLANE!! Mice. We caught three of the beady-eyed little monsters in a trap involving peanut butter, tupperware, and a long string attached to a stick. Now they're incarcerated in my blue trash can until we can figure out what to do with them.
When I walked across the quad to check my mail, there were French students sprawled in various positions in the shade- looking bored, quietly making their "honh honh" sounds, trying to stave off heat stroke. They were here last year, too- I'd pass them on Emmanuel's airport runway of a sidewalk as it was getting dark. Where are they from? Who is showing them around the city? I'd like to know.ETA: They're students from France, here to learn English (yeah, right). And currently they're being led in some kind of forced merriment in the courtyard. How badly do I want to teach a French student to swear? So, so badly.

###!!! ASSERTION: viewport width must be nonnegative!: 'aViewportWidth >= 0', file layout/svg/base/src/nsSVGUtils.cpp, line 797
Created attachment 498788 [details]
stack trace
This is a new assertion that I added in bug 272288 yesterday, to tighten up assumptions in nsSVGUtils::GetViewBoxTransform.
Negative widths aren't valid for <image> or <svg>, according to the spec:
"A negative value is an error (see Error processing)"
Not sure if we currently trigger error-handling-code for this case... If we don't want to bail out earlier than this, we could always just pass "max(0, width)" instead of "width" into nsSVGUtils::GetViewBoxTransform for cases like this.
We don't trigger error handling code as we don't distinguish between different types of length when we parse them. i.e. width (no negatives allowed) and x (negatives OK).
We just want to bail as early as possible in a way that makes mRect in nsSVGPathGeometryFrame the empty rect.
i.e. calling nsSVGUtils::GetViewBoxTransform is pretty pointless if width <= 0 as we're not going to draw anything.

Do you want to test my app?
I have a friend with Alzheimer's disease who still lives alone. I wrote an app for him, so his family can tell when he leaves home and returns. The app uses text messages to notify up to 5 people when you leave home and when you return. You have to set your home location in the app.
I'm going to set up a group of testers. If you send me your email address via pm, I will send you an invite to download the app from the play store.
You will need an Android phone with gps capabilities and the ability to send text messages. No server is used for this app, so no private information is sent anywhere. It simply sends text messages to the people you specify when you leave home and return.
I want to know how well it functions on various devices, bugs you find, and how much it drains your battery, along with suggestions for improvement.
I'm calling it alpha for now, but it is working pretty well. This will be a free app, with advertisements hopefully supporting my app development habit.
Let me know if you want to participate. Your hep will be greatly appreciated.

Rivers Cuomo Reminisces With the Cast of Jackass in Weezer's Latest Video for "Memories"
When we reminisce and look at days gone by, we tend to think of the fun times we've had first, and the people who we've shared them with. We have a hunch that Rivers Cuomo was on the same track mentally when he came up with the idea behind Weezer's latest music video for "Memories." Jetsking into bushes with Weezer playing in your backyard sounds like some really sweet memory making, to us.
What's even cooler, still, is the fact that the band decides to involve themselves in some of the pranks midway through the song. They go from merely being on the sidelines to playing right smack in the middle of the action -- and we think they like it.
We can't help but feel like it's a more modern version of their "Buddy Holly" video, and it looks like it was a blast to film. Well, except for that guy that got a football slammed in his face. Ouch.
There are even kids skateboarding on some pretty intense skate ramps, narrowly missing the band's faces, kids dancing, and a little baby gently thrown into the air. Aww.
But do you think it encompasses trademark Weezer carefree fun? Check out the video below, along with the "Buddy Holly" video, and tell us what you think.

Show off your S4 customisations
So after watching a YouTube video (can't remember what about) where the guy has Nova on his phone I decided to give it another shot. This time the result was beautiful. It's so much faster without Touch Wiz (Nova Prime is my default launcher now). This is what I got.
I'm still working on replacing all the stock stuff. So far got a calculator that is awesome, custom keyboard which I put on within the first three months, textra replaces stock messages, contacts+ replaces contacts and I've also got the Google Now OK Google functionality without opening the app thanks to Nova. How do I disable the stock apps? How do I change the notification toggles without rooting?
Show me your customs people

Minerals The Key to Optimal Health
Nutritional minerals are critical to human health. In fact, we couldn't exist without them! Minerals are a basic part of all cells in the body, especially blood, nerve, and muscle cells. They are the building blocks of strong bones and teeth. Minerals are also important for growth and healing, the production of energy, and dozens of other important bodily functions. But many of the mineral supplements you take aren't efficiently absorbed and utilized by the body. Author Kim Erickson familiarizes readers with the health benefits provided by each nutritional mineral. She also explains how chelating minerals helps unleash their physiological and biological benefits to not only prevent disease but foster optimal health and vigor.

Verified Purchase
I enjoyed reading this. I learned a thing or two about quality supplements. Know what you're paying for. From reading this I would say it's not just important but necessary if you don't want to pee away your supplements.
Good informative booklet-a few corrections needed and more open minded towards other minerals types...
Posted by PracticalReviews on Oct 26, 2013
i did read it to the end and my cunclusions are:there is a misleading statement about Fluoride helping our teeth when in fact it harms our body in the type and amount we are getting it in out municipal water systems and toothpaste-beware! secondly,i know chelated minerals are superior but you should also take in to consideration that there are at least 2 more types of minerals types that sometimes even superior to the best chelated one,thats the plant derived minerals and the cultured yeast minerals that are not mentioned at all in this booklet.the information inside also suggest that there is only 1 company that "does it right"(the chelation process) which i find it hard to believe. so,although i learned a few things i didn't pay attention to until now(like the Magnesium and Sulfur part in blood sugar balance) there is some fixing and adding needed to the information you get from it.i do recommend you read it,the more knowledge you have the more free you are ...you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews

Police: Two Anaheim shootings connected to gangs
ANAHEIM – Two shootings took place Saturday that police are connecting to gang affiliation.
About 8 p.m., three males left a party in the 1700 block of West La Palma Avenue.
Police said they got into their car when rival gang members started shouting at them, then a gun was fired. It is unknown if the attackers were also in a vehicle.
A window of the car was shattered but none of the three were injured beyond cuts and scrapes from the broken glass, Sgt. Wayne Alonso said.
The males are 19, 21 and 6. The 6-year-old has the same last name as the 21-year-old, but police could not confirm if they are related.
About two hours later, a 17-year-old was found in the middle of the 2300 block of West Coronet Avenue, with multiple gunshot wounds, Alonso said.
Investigators said the teen refused to tell police who shot him and why.
"We think he was shot by a rival tagging group," Alonso said.
Police said the boy was shot three times and broke his leg. He was taken to UCI and is in stable condition.
Nearby, police found a 21-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his heel. Police said he is connected to the first victim.
Anyone with information about either shooting is asked to call Anaheim investigators at (714) 765-1900.

I only wanted some serenity. I thought pain over my internal pain would help. It didn't. If I was upset, I dealt with it. But I am never happy. I am trapped in a sea of white, where at the bottom it is so bright I cannot see, and the surface of this icy liquid is blacker than night. That is where I fell in. Into the blackness. It suffocates you, then you sink into the water. As you go deeper, the water becomes lighter. So bright white you can't open your eyes, and the worst is yet to come! The further you sink the brighter it gets the ice is now fire it's so hot your skin is burning now engulfed in flames you scream but to no avail, the water is gone and the heat is eating your flesh melting your body you feel your blood boiling your bones snapping, jaw ripping, ears enclosing, nose dissolving, mouth covered with an alcohol drenched rag and then there is nothing. As you lie there in the black you still cannot open your eyes, your true eyes, but you feel something touching-no, feeling you, taking your clothes from your body, no escape can be made---you are being raped in this blackness, now your mouth is being invaded by a man...his private in your lower area, another in your mouth, you're paralyzed, your hand is now another tool for a man, and when you can open your eyes at last, a hole is forever pierced into your skull killing you, being thrown into a garbage bag, then into the garbage truck, then for conserving room the truck crushes all in its puny bin...you are now in oblivion, forced into...nothing.

Mornin CHUNKS, the GRAND MANAN V will take over the trips the Black Boat run these past few years. The increased capacity amounts to an even 1K vehicle spots per day going back and forth to Blacks Harbour.
No decision on when the ADVENTURE will be back on the run, has to be determined if the ship has to be taken out of the water to rectify the problem. If that is the case dry dock space has to be found and booked, has been decreed she will not be on the run till repared.
Too cool for yardwork as yet, however have been noticing larger patches of green in various locations. Our lawn needs major work, now if I can locate the ambition to take it on would be a good thing.
Have a good one.

After One Year without Chávez, Is Venezuela Unraveling?
March 6, 2014
This week, amidst political turmoil that has gripped the country since early February and has left over a dozen dead and hundreds injured and detained, Venezuela commemorates the first anniversary of the late President Hugo Chávez's death.
A fiery politician, Chávez was best known for his "Bolivarian Revolution," through which he pursued aggressive, state-centered approaches to alleviate the social, political, and economic challenges facing Venezuela—and was, according to some metrics, successful. Between 2004 and 2012, the country's poverty rate halved, and literacy and access to healthcare increased substantially.
But Chávez's government also did a great deal to polarize the Venezuelan populace, with his chief opponents largely concentrated in the private sector and free-market supporters. And Human Rights Watch, Transparency International, and Freedom House—three of the world's leading human rights non-governmental organizations—condemned Chávez's government, accusing it of political discrimination and threats to the freedoms of the press, affiliation, and expression.
Chávez also made himself—and, in turn, his country—something of an international pariah, not unlike his counterparts in Iran and Cuba. Most notable was his famous speech at the United Nations in 2006, in which he claimed he could smell sulfur at the podium from then-U.S. President George W. Bush, referring to him as the devil. However, Venezuela's current economic crisis and its gradual evolution into a quasi narco-state, results of the staggering mismanagement of the country's massive oil industry, point to much more troubling problems than the exaggerated rants of a bygone leader.
On March 5, 2013, then-Vice President and self-proclaimed "son of Chávez" Nicolás Maduro made a special appearance on state television to announce the death of President Hugo Chávez, himself assuming all the responsibilities of the presidency. In special elections held in April, Maduro narrowly beat out opposition candidate Henrique Capriles—though the results remain highly contested. And the past year has seen growing opposition to Maduro's government, recently reflected in mass protests across Venezuela.
So where does Venezuela stand one year after Chávez's death?
When Chávez died, he left behind a country deeply divided along political and socioeconomic lines, suffering from skyrocketing crime and violence and increasingly bogged down by economic instability.
Under Maduro, this grim reality has only worsened—though not for a lack of official policies to reverse it. In his first year, Maduro dispersed several thousand military troops through the country's most dangerous areas as part of a crime-reduction strategy and requested special powers to rule by decree in order to fight corruption and economic troubles—a measure which was eventually approved by the National Assembly.
The latter is most reminiscent of his predecessor's leadership. During his presidency, Chávez requested the same decree powers on four separate occasions. And Maduro's rhetoric has been largely in line with Chávez's as well, accusing the U.S. government of meddling in Venezuelan affairs and labeling opponents of his administration "fascists" and "Nazis."
Despite the mimicry of Chavez's rhetoric and style, however, Maduro has struggled to live up to the legacy of his predecessor and mentor. Violence and corruption continue their steep rise, and Venezuela's economy is wracked by instability. Inflation is sky-high (though the exact figure remains a subject of hot dispute), and widespread scarcity of basic goods is rapidly deteriorating standards of living throughout the country.
And early last month, all of these woes came to a head, with thousands of Venezuelans pouring onto the streets in the largest and most persistent protests witnessed since the beginning of Maduro's presidency. The protests, which continue to wrack every major city in Venezuela, pose a major threat to the Maduro administration. But how did this all begin?
In early February, students began protesting in a number of Venezuelan cities, focusing primarily on crime and insecurity. The government's response was swift and aggressive, detaining students for their participation. In response, the demonstrations grew and spread, expanding their focus to corruption, human rights abuses, and economic concerns.
As the protests grew, opposition leaders María Corina Machado and Leopoldo López called for mass demonstrations across the country on February 12, under the name "La Salida," or "The Exit." In response to increasing calls for his resignation, Maduro called on his supporters to take to the streets as well. While the protests that day were largely peaceful, clashes between opposition protestors and the government police, military, and armed pro-government gangs, or colectivos, broke out. By the end of the day, three had been confirmed dead, and upwards of 30 and 70 were injured and detained, respectively.
Since February 12, the situation has only worsened. The confirmed death toll has reached 18, with over 250 injured and 1,000 detained by government forces—and some reports of gruesome torture are beginning to emerge as well. And after persecution by government authorities, having issued an arrest warrant for unfounded charges of homicide and terrorism, Leopoldo López turned himself in to the National Guard on February 18, a troubling turn for the state of due process and freedom of expression in the country.
And the press has been subject to harsh government censorship. The government first cut off access to Colombian NTN24, one of the only international media outlets operating on the ground, later blocking picture services on Twitter as well. Most recently, the government revoked press credentials for many of CNN's journalists in Venezuela, forcing them to leave the country.
As daily violence and clashes continue throughout the country, many are reminded of the infamously brutal riots that paralyzed Venezuela's capital in the late 1980s—the "Caracazo." While it is evident that what the country is witnessing now is clearly nowhere close to the crisis that struck Caracas almost 30 years ago, it is important to note that the recent developments in Venezuela have signaled a real shift in the way the opposition deals with the government—and vise versa.
Given all that's happened so far, what could the ongoing crisis in Venezuela mean for the rest of the hemisphere?
The crisis in Venezuela is, to date, showing few signs of reaching a peaceful conclusion in the immediate future. And the prospect of continued and increasing demonstrations in Venezuela paints a grim picture not only domestically, but internationally and multilaterally as well.
So what's at stake in the short term?
- As the crisis has deepened, divisions within the ruling party have increased—as has internal disagreement within the opposition. Without a stabilizing force in Venezuela, both major political groups appear to be unraveling, putting the government's viability at serious risk.
- The military has long played a prominent role in Venezuelan politics. They have pledged their loyalty to Maduro, but as political unrest continues, it remains to be seen just how steadfast they may be to the embattled leader.
- PDVSA (Venezuela's state-owned oil firm) and the Petrocaribe oil assistance program are among the most vulnerable if Venezuela implodes—a collapse that would, without a doubt, send shockwaves throughout the hemisphere, particularly with the Central American and Caribbean countries most dependent on Venezuela's oil assistance, namely Cuba.
- Such a heavy imbalance in the region could also invite criminality and increased drug trafficking— and even destabilizing the already tenuous peace negotiations in neighboring Colombia.
- ALBA would also be in a dangerously vulnerably position, as the regional bloc is largely driven by the current Venezuelan government's ideological zeal.
- Venezuela's role as the fourth-largest oil exporter to the United States, a guarantor of the ongoing peace process in Colombia, and a key point of transit for transnational criminals transporting illegal narcotics make it still more pivotal to stability—both in its own neighborhood and in the region as a whole.
Even in light of these implications, however, much of the region has remained quiet—and potential paths toward a peaceful solution remain a subject of hot dispute.
The ALBA and Mercosur blocs have voiced their support for the Maduro administration—to no great surprise, given their close ties. Though a meeting is scheduled for this Thursday with the Permanent Council to discuss the crisis at the OAS, little action is expected.
The Obama Administration has remained noticeably tempered in its remarks regarding the crisis, but some political voices in the United States believe that Venezuela's crisis requires a strict sanctions regime. U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) recently proposed a bipartisan resolution urging President Barack Obama to "impose targeted sanctions, including visa bans and asset freezes, against individuals planning, facilitating, or perpetrating gross human rights violations." This targeted proposition could be effective, but any measure broader than this use of sanctions risks exacerbating, not ameliorated the country's economic stability and creating an even more challenging situation for the Venezuelan populace—not just the government.
On the international stage, the crisis in Venezuela has struggled to garner widespread coverage by the rapidly escalating international crisis in Ukraine. However, recent appeals by Pope Francis and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urging for honest dialogue and the end to violence have provided some assurance that perhaps the Venezuelan people are not alone. Some have even proposed that Pope Francis, a historic figure as the first Latin American pope, offer to mediate the conflict.
So, in summary, where do we stand, and what can we expect?
What began as a series of student demonstrations in Venezuela has, over the course of just a few weeks, grown into a protracted conflict, splintering the country and spilling blood. And Maduro's ineffective response to the protests and the real opposition they represent has allowed for the development of an increasingly complex crisis with ever more grim prospects.
The protests and unrest will, without a doubt, continue. But international attention will turn still farther away as the crisis in Ukraine continues to unfold. With the global community understandably focused on Kiev—some 6,000 miles away from Caracas— there is a risk that Venezuelan protestors' concerns will fall on deaf ears. Russian involvement in the Ukraine—and the implications that carries for U.S. foreign policy—makes that crisis an inherently global one. But as the Ukraine destabilizes Eastern Europe, so too does Venezuela destabilize the Western Hemisphere.
Still, Venezuela's crisis has, at least for the moment, not reached the same level as the one in the Ukraine—despite the weighty regional impact the developments are sure to have. Energy, narco-trafficking, human rights, regional stability: these are all on the line. But with most of the world's attention is focused elsewhere, it is increasingly likely that the political crisis and injustice currently tormenting Venezuela will continue unabated.

Suggestions on building a Spring box! (Water Ram)
Howdy Everyone!
Im building a Springbox to operate a Small water ram that I hope to buy! the purpose in the spring box is to gain a foot or 2 extra of fall to where im going to be locating the ram, as well as to protect the spring by shock clorinating it when the box is finished to keep it clean & use as a future Drinking water source with the ram pump! Im useing lose Limstone rock I picked up around my property & Quickrete Mortar Mix, for the Spring box walls! any suggestions from any other ram pump owners that have had to build a spring box on how to keep it from leaking? will limestone rock act as a better seal than cinder block? Any Suggestions?

Re: Suggestions on building a Spring box!
Dave, the only one I've seen built for a ram was formed concrete, and is probably 80 yrs old now, maybe more.
Its about 2-300 ft from the spring, and there's just enough fall in that distance to fill the box, which is about 4 /12 ft tall.
Theres a pipe near the top for overflow, that a lot of folks have got a drink from. The ram was there for many yrs, not in service, since they had a pump put in after electricity came thru in the late 1940's. This is about 8 miles out of Bristol, on the Va side. Ths spring is still running strong, even wqitht he drought we're having. Hope yours is holding up too.
There was a ram in service about 5 miles up Boozie Creek, not far from Kingsport a few yrs ago, but I've not been by there in several yrs, so can't tell you the status on that one. It was run by a pipe from the spring that had plenty of fall without a box, though.
Re: Suggestions on building a Spring box!
Forgot to answer your question on the materials.
The limestone rock would be much better in my opinion, since you would have to stucco the inside of the cinder blocks to keep them from leaking. And if you have plenty of rock, why spend money on blocks?
David Hensley
Re: Suggestions on building a Spring box!
Yeah my Spring is Still running Im going to say its about a 35 to 40 gallon a minute "Give or take" Spring! its holding up, comes straight out from under a big limestone rock thru a fault! It just don't have the fall or the amount of water my creek has! & "If" I get Lucky enough to find another ram that I can Afford, I will probably use it for a future Drinking water source for a cabin or home I hope to build there someday & just use the ram I have working in my creek for Watering purposes!
Thank you for any & All leads on ANY Old Abandond Ram's not in use Anymore!
Re: Suggestions on building a Spring box!
Any of you that attended the Renfro Valley Show missed out on a roadside spring box if you didn't get off the Rt 25 pavement and drive down thru Brush Creek/Orlando going toward Hummel and Wildie. It not far out of Brush Creek on the right side of the road in a hilly rock outcropping.
It's been there since I was a kid and I'm now pushing 73.. Someone had the foresight to make a concrete basin to preserve this sweet cold water spring for anybody that wants to make use of it. If my memory's correct it was on George Miller's land and it might have been he that built the box.
Folks came from miles around, bringing their containers to take that water home just fro drinking and perking a pot of delicious coffee.
And on a hot August day it surely tasted good!
It's been about 40 years since I sipped that cool Ky ground nectar and I'm assuming that it's still there and still potable in these day's when it seems that nobody gives a shit anymore.
I can only hope that it's still there, still fresh n cool!...
Re: Suggestions on building a Spring box!
Hmmmmm! Gene, do ya reckon that "cool nectar" might have been used in one of those "corn refineries"??? Since itrs in Renfro Valley??
Re: Suggestions on building a Spring box!
Undoubtedly! But then Ky ground nectar in the "Knobs" was always sweet tasting as it also was in the Western parts of Va, around Radford and Pulaski.
Back in the 40's you could see the bed rock bottom of the New River where it passes thru Radford.
When I last tasted that Ky spring water in 68-69, we returned to NJ by heading East thru Radford and on to Norfolk..We crossed over the River into Radford and it was so green you couldn't see much below the surface.
Oh the Pike we used to pull out of that trough just below the dam.Sweetest tasting fish anywhere, although quite boney!
Those were the "best years of my life"!
Would like to have a quart of them "squeezins"!
Back in those day's there was a still up in every "hollar" and the shiners knew when Deputy Sheriff Charlie Ramsey would be due to drive thru sniffing for wood smoke, so they just didn't light em up on that day.
We went back to Wildie for Summer vacation in 1943 and Charlie came into Wildie from the Clear Creek direction. He had a Chevy 4 door, I think it was a Chebby anyway, it had suicide doors and was covered with the usual coating of dust thrown up from the gravel road's.
We were all sitting in the shade of my Grandpa's L&N RR store sippin on RC's or Pepsi's and Charlie stopped and called us over to the passenger side. He had been up in the quarry behind Stewart's place looking for a still and he said he heard a buzzing sound, turned around and there laid all coiled up was the biggest Rattler he had ever seen. He plugged it with his 38 S&W and tied it onto the fender. It's head, what was left anyway, was tied to the head light mount and it's tail was by the back edge of the back door held onto the running board with a piece of bailin twine wrapped around it's body just forward of the rattle and placed between the door and door jamb....That was one humongous Rattler!
Charlie was shot and killed while trying to break up a bar fight, just before Christmas of 43. Will always remember him in his usual Khaki pants & shirt with a white straw hat and that big S&W 38 hanging low on his right hip and drivin that Bonnie & Clyde Automobile..
Oh Lordy the memories are flooding back tonight!
That was the year,1943, that Pop came back from Radford to pick us up, Mom, Sis n me.Was about 8;30PM or so around Aug 23-24th . Grandpap had just closed the store and we were going to walk back around to their house on Clear Creek and Gramps looked up the Rd and saw headlights coming, so he said we'd wait just in case it was someone wanting a pack of cigarettes..
Well it was Uncle Bill had come down to tell us that uncle Ralph had been killed going ashore on New Georgia Island in the Solomon Islands on Aug 20th. He was just too big to be a Marine, too easy a target..
Anyway Pop went back to Radford, sent all our clothes down to Wildie sold the Terraplane and joined the Navy..
That's how we ended up in Shit City...
And I remember the 1st cold, cold day in March 0f 44 when we arrived there to live in Riverdale, South shit city, a quickly built project for Govt workers. Was a 2 BR Cement block row house with no inulation tile on cement floors and a coal stove to heat and cook.. Absolutly the worst day of my 8 years!

Re: Suggestions on building a Spring box!
Gene, grandpaw was a deputy here for a good while, and when he'd be standing close on of the neighbors, he'd let it "slip" that he was gona be going through such & such holler the next day. A few of them didn't take the hint & lost their stills. Most were smart enuff to know when they were being warned.
I worked for the same outfit that owned the plant in Radford ,when I came home from Viet Nam, only the one I worked at was in DeSoto Kansas.
I live about 100 miles, or so west of Radford, 20 mi nw of Bristol.
PS I know about your uncle being too big. Several boys made fun of my short size in Nam, & I told them we called the biggn's "target". Theres been a lot of good men died, or wounded in more ways than just being shot, in defense of this great country of ours. I just wish that the younger generation were taught to appreciate that more.
