Related: Dogs and their owners descend on New York for Westminster Dog Show
Gallery: Press conference kicking off the 137th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
Meet the dogs: Ollie | Charlie | Romeo
Meet the judge: John Ramirez
You're all dressed up and about to enter the ring at Madison Square Garden - with a dog on a leash.
There are cameras and millions of people watching from home.
What could possibly go wrong?
Just about anything.
By the time dogs and handlers make it to Westminster, most are seasoned pros. But there's always a bit of unpredictability in a dog show ring.
"It's very tense, everybody's a complete wreck," said Diane Amiel of Sherman Oaks, whose long-haired dachshund, George, is making his second appearance at this year's Westminster show.
This is the third year she's entered what is the nation's most prestigious dog show.
"You wait all year for your big moment," she said, recalling one year when the dog she entered developed a sudden case of stage fright. Dog and handler "got halfway around the ring when this big camera boom with a light came up. (The) dog just froze. It was pretty much over."
Each dog has about two minutes in the ring.
"You hope your dog has its moment of divine inspiration when the judge is looking," said David Frei, who has announced the show for television for 23 years. "But dogs are dogs and it's a dog show. I think it's OK for dogs to do something funny or cute."
Gloria Henderson of San Pedro teaches a Wednesday night class in dog-show handling through the Lomita Obedience Training Club. While she's never shown a dog at Westminster, she has accompanied her own golden retrievers in show rings through the years.
The stakes are high and the pressure tremendous at shows like Westminster.
"In big shows like Westminster you're on display for the whole country," she said. "I've seen people stumble and fall."
There's an art to making a dog look its best in the ring, Henderson said.
"You don't want to attract attention to yourself, but you want to make the dog look his very best," she said.
Handlers must be able to move their dog gracefully "at the correct pace for that breed." Bigger dogs run. Little dogs with short legs have a more wobbly - call it cute - gait.
But it still all comes down to the dog.
"I don't look at (handlers), I'm looking at the dogs," said veteran dog show judge John Ramirez of Downey who will judge three of the working breeds at Westminster this year. "An amateur handler can't make a good dog look bad."
And about your clothes if you're a dog handler.
Dress sharp, even color coordinate with your dog. But don't be a distraction.
"I remember seeing a lady once in a great big full skirt that was just flowing all over the place," Henderson said. "Obviously it was disconcerting for the judge."
Women handlers should leave the high heels at home, Henderson said. Wear "sensible shoes," Henderson said, "shoes with ties or buckles."
But even a pair of flats can go wrong.
"I've lost a shoe in the ring before," Henderson said. "That was a little embarrassing."

Developer Anschutz Entertainment Group's aggressive yearlong marketing push for its downtown stadium lost a whiff of momentum this week following news that the NFL isn't planning an immediate return to the area.
Speaking to reporters in Dallas on Wednesday, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell called Los Angeles a very "viable market" but said bringing a team back for the 2012 season - which AEG had initially hoped for - isn't likely.
"(Los Angeles) is a viable market in the sense that we know there are millions of fans in that market who want to see football return there," said Goodell, according to a transcript of the news conference.
"But we want it to return in a successful way, and that requires a stadium. I don't think we'll be in a position to make that decision by 2012, but we'll continue to work with the different alternatives in Los Angeles and hope that we get a solution that will work."
The commissioner's comments came after AEG spent the last year riding a wave of support for its downtown stadium, a $1.4 billion project that involves the construction of a new football venue and the renovation of the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The developer initially hoped to have a deal in place with a team owner by spring 2012, allowing for a groundbreaking by the end of next year.
If that dream has been tempered, AEG spokesman Michael Roth remained upbeat Thursday afternoon.
"We're still continuing to move forward on schedule for a 2016 opening," Roth said, arguing such a timeline is still feasible.
Roth noted that Goodell expressed support for the NFL's commitment to stadium financing, in general. That bodes well for AEG's project, Roth said.
The commissioner's comments will have no impact on AEG's release of the environmental impact report for the stadium, expected out by February, he added.
Over the last 12 months, AEG courted businesses, city officials and state legislators to win support for its project.
In February, the developer signed a $700 million naming rights deal with Farmers Insurance. In August, AEG officials persuaded the City Council to approve a memorandum of understanding for the project, and agree to issue nearly $300 million in tax-exempt bonds to relocate and rebuild the West Hall of the Convention Center.
And by late September, AEG had won over Gov. Jerry Brown, who signed custom legislation helping with environmental reviews for the stadium.
But now city officials face at least another year of ad hoc committee meetings and other public hearings on the stadium.
Or do they?
Asked about Goodell's comments, City Councilwoman Jan Perry sounded skeptical.
"This may be a negotiating tactic between the AEG and the NFL," said Perry, who led the effort to bring the stadium to her downtown district.
Developer Ed Roski's Majestic Realty Co. has competing plans to build a 75,000-seat football stadium in the City of Industry. Like AEG, Majestic has obtained custom legislation from the state over lawsuits, and has completed architectural drawings for a stadium.
And like AEG, Majestic reps were similarly positive when asked Thursday for a response to Goodell's comments.
"We are optimistic about returning the NFL and will continue to work with the commissioner and the league to make it happen," said Majestic spokesman Ben Porritt.

Cancún is a great place to experience 21st-century Mexico, since it has everything you'd want in a vacation: shopping, sports, spas, and beaches. Here you'll find five-star resorts, exceptional food, Mexican culture, and natural beauty within minutes of the world-famous Mayan ruins. That said, there isn't much that's quaint or historic in this distinctively modern city, many of whose residents have embraced the accoutrements of urban middle-class life—cell phones, Internet, cable TV—that are found all over the world.
Most locals live on the mainland in the part of the city called El Centro and work in the posh Zona Hotelera, whose main drag is called Boulevard Kukulcán. Kilometer markers alongside Boulevard Kukulcán indicate where you are, starting from Km 1 near El Centro to Km 20 at the southern tip of Punta Nizuc. The area in between consists entirely of hotels, restaurants, shopping complexes, marinas, and time-share condominiums. Most travelers base themselves in this 22½-km (14-mile) stretch of paradise, unless the charm of El Centro's city life trumps the beach.
The party atmosphere of Zona Hotelera has inevitably earned it the title "Spring Break capital of the world." Dozens of bars and nightclubs cater to college students just south of Punta Cancún at Km 9. Fortunately, this late-night/early-morning scene is contained within a small area, far from the larger resorts. Although Cancún is a magnet for youth on the loose, families are drawn to the limitless water sports, pristine beaches, and children's activities including theme parks, live entertainment, and dolphin programs.
For authentic Mexican food at some of the best hole-in-the-wall cantinas, travel west of Avenida Tulum (El Centro's main street) to Yaxchilán. The more upscale area of El Centro is east of Tulum to Avenida Bonampak. Although El Centro is less visited by travelers than Zona Hotelera, the downtown area holds cultural gems that will remind you that you really are in Mexico.

while looking for something in the Mahayanasamgraha I stumbled over this term which I could not make anything out of.
Translation LaMotte / Migme Chodron:
Ch. 5, pg 272 wrote:v) In the fifith bhūmi, as reality with no difference in series (saṃtānābhinnārtha).
The Bashya reads a bit further:
(v) Saṃtānābhinnārtha: in this dharmadhātu of the fifth bhūmi there is no difference in nature; it is like the eye, etc., which, in the various series of beings (sattvasaṃtānaviśeṣa) separately, shows no differences. The person who knows this enters into the fifth bhūmi.
Would be nice if someone could point out what is meant by this.

Rock Hill, S.C. - Brevard College placed three on the 2012 Preseason All-South Atlantic Conference softball team as announced by the conference office on Thursday morning.
Senior utility player Chelsi Mallory, sophomore outfielder Brittany Fowler and sophomore designated player Emily Boykin were all selected to the preseason Second Team to lead Brevard as the Tornados were selected 10th in the SAC preseason poll.
Defending SAC softball champion Lenoir-Rhyne is a nearly unanimous pick to win the 2012 title by the league's coaches.
Lenoir-Rhyne went 45-10 overall and 16-2 in league play in 2011, winning both the SAC regular season and Food Lion Tournament championships. L-R received all but one of the preseason poll's first-place votes.
The Bears also lead the way with five selections to the preseason All-SAC Team – four on the First Team and one on the Second Team.
Pitcher Dawon Millwood returns for Lenoir-Rhyne after posting 1.43 ERA and leading the SAC with an opponent batting average of .186 last season, earning the conference's Pitcher of the Year Award. She is joined on the preseason All-SAC First Team by teammates Jessica Fellmeth at first base, Carlee Carpenter at second base and Jody Mizelle in the outfield.
Carson-Newman is second in the preseason poll and will be led by three preseason first team All-Conference selections in catcher Brianna Shoemake, outfielder Kim Whaley and 2011 SAC Player of the Year Mary Shealy, who led the league with 36 pitching wins while also hitting .299 with 12 home runs.
No. 3 in the preseason poll is Wingate, which went 31-15 overall in 2011. WU is followed in the poll by Catawba, which will be led in 2012 by preseason All-SAC First Team selection Kayla Myers at the utility position.
Tusculum is No. 5 in the preseason poll, followed by Lincoln Memorial – which received the other first-place vote – and Anderson. Tusculum and Anderson placed two student-athletes on the preseason All-SAC Team, while LMU has three spots.
Rounding out the poll is Mars Hill at No. 8, Newberry at No. 9 and Brevard at No. 10. Newberry landed one on the preseason All-SAC Team, Mars Hill had two and Brevard had three.
The 2012 softball season is scheduled to get underway on Feb. 2 with Carson-Newman taking on St. Andrews Presbyterian. The 2012 Food Lion SAC Championship will take place April 19-22 on the Tusculum campus.

2006 Fliers' and Explorers' Globe Signing Ceremony, 21 November 2006, Kalamazoo, Michigan: Mary Meader (center) signs the globe and AGS Executive Director Mary Lynne Bird (R) looks on.
On November 21, 2006 a pioneer of aerial photography, Mary Meader, placed her signature on the Fliers' & Explorers' Globe at a special ceremony in her honor held at the Upjohn Center on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.
Actually, Ms. Meader wrote her name on the globe in two places, something only three of the more than 70 previous signers have been invited to do. She wrote her name across East Africa and across the Andes, commemorating the pioneering aerial photography she carried out in 1937-1939 in Africa and South America with her then husband, Richard Upjohn Light. Light was the pilot and mechanic on those ventures. Ms. Meader was the photographer, navigator, and radio operator.
Flying a single engine plane, with unheated and unpressurized cabin, the couple sucked oxygen from a tank using wooden mouthpieces, and Ms. Meader wore a fur coat and boots as she shot pictures through an open window. Since she weighed only 95 pounds herself, shebraced the 20-pound camera on the window frame and secured it with a clothesline.
Something of the quality and significance of the photographic record Ms. Meader created can be seen in a permanent exhibit at the Upjohn Center and in a traveling exhibit of her work created by Monica Barnes of the Society of Woman Geographers.
On October 10, 2005, when Mary Upjohn Meader was made an Honorary Fellow of the American Geographical Society, the citation read termed her a geographer, photographer, scholar, and explorer. It applauded her keen and curious eye for uncovering information about the unknown. The stunning quality of her photography shows not only her skill and her artistry but her passion for conveying new knowledge about remote places on Earth. With hercamera, Mary Upjohn Meader captured the lives and landscapes of traditions and cultures in Africa and Latin America that no longer exist. Because of that, her work has taken on ever greater significance in today's rapidly changing world.
By inviting her to inscribe her name on the Flyers' & Explorers' Globe, the American Geographical Societycelebrates the courage, vision, and spirit with which Mary Upjohn Meader pursued "research from above" in circumstances too difficult and dangerous for us to imagine today.

The term evidence-based practice (EBP) was used initially in relation to medicine, but has since been adopted by many fields including education, child welfare, mental health, and criminal justice.
EBP refers to approaches and interventions that have been scientifically tested in controlled studies and proven effective. EBP implies that there is a definable outcome(s); it is measurable; and it is defined according to practical realities (recidivism, victim satisfaction, etc.).
Interventions within corrections are considered effective when they reduce offender risk and subsequent recidivism. (Note - recidivism can be defined in many ways, i.e., re-arrest, re-conviction, parole revocation, return to incarceration, return to prison.) When offender risk is reduced, there are fewer victims of crime and public safety is enhanced.
Listed below are the commonly used Evidence-Based Principles for Community Corrections:
Risk/Needs Assessment
Actuarial risk assessment instruments have been shown to be more accurate than even the best clinical judgment in determining offender risk. Unfortunately, only a few state judges and courts in the United States have experience in using risk/needs assessment information in sentencing offenders or responding to violations of parole.
Use of risk and needs assessment information is critical in making evidence- based judicial determinations of important recurring sentencing issues, such as:
In the recent Indiana Supreme Court decision in the case of Malenchik v. State of Indiana, the court observed that "the concept of evidence-based sentencing practices has considerable promise for the goal of reduced offender recidivism and improvement of sentencing outcomes."

Offensive Players of the Week
For the week ending April 22
By John Parker / Special to MLB.com | April 23, 2012 10:49 AM ET
Brad Eldred, Toledo
(.400/.486/.933, 7 G, 12-for-30, 2 2B, 1 3B, 4 HR, 15 RBI, 10 R, 4 BB, 6 K, 1 SB)
After two seasons in the Pacific Coast League, the veteran Eldred has returned to the IL in a big way. Thanks to his enormous week, he leads the Minor Leagues with eight home runs and 25 RBIs and has at least one hit in each of his 17 games this season. He went deep twice and drove in five runs to help the Mud Hens outlast Louisville, 13-9, on Wednesday. The 31-year-old designated hitter also owns an eight-game RBI streak and has scored in seven of his last eight contests.
Eldred hits his second homer of the game
Pacific Coast League
Alex Castellanos, Albuquerque
(.440/.545/1.120, 6 G, 11-for-25, 1 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 9 R, 4 BB, 4 K, 3 SB)
Returning to second base seems to be agreeing with Castellanos, the Dodgers' No. 13 prospect. The 25-year-old, whom the Dodgers acquired from St. Louis for Rafael Furcal last July, had four multi-hit games this week and missed the cycle by a single in a three-hit effort Tuesday. After going 6-for-9 with a pair of homers at Oklahoma City over the weekend, Castellanos leads the PCL in extra-base hits and runs scored after his first 17 Triple-A games.
Castellanos delivers an RBI triple
Castellanos crushes three-run blast against Iowa
Eastern League
Josh Rodriguez, Binghamton
(.500/.581/.808, 7 G, 13-for-26, 2 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 5 BB, 3 K, 2 SB)
Rodriguez is off to a hot start in the Mets organization after spending parts of six seasons with Cleveland and a short stint with the Pirates that saw him play in seven Major League games last year. The 27-year-old infielder has reached base in 12 straight games and had four multi-hit games this week, capped by a 9-for-12 stretch over the weekend as the B-Mets completed a four-game sweep of visiting Portland. With four stolen bases in 14 games, he has already matched his total in 81 Minor League contests last year.
Southern League
Scooter Gennett, Huntsville
(.448/.433/.828, 7 G, 13-for-29, 2 2B, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 0 BB 4 K, 2 SB)
It's no surprise that the 21-year-old Gennett is raking -- he's a career .307 hitter who hit for the cycle in Spring Training. The Brewers' No. 6 prospect was especially hot this week, going 3-for-4 with a pair of longballs on Monday, then adding three more hits on both Wednesday and Thursday. Gennett has gone hitless in just three of his 18 games this season and is one shy of the Southern League lead with 11 runs scored.
MiLB.com chats with Gennett
Texas League
Brandon Barnes, Corpus Christi
(.391/.417/.870, 6 G, 9-for-23, 5 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 5 R, 0 BB, 6 K, 2 CS)
Now in his eighth season in the Astros organization, the 25-year-old Barnes is off to a remarkable start for anyone, let alone a hitter with a career .255/.315/.440 line in 645 Minor League games. He leads the Texas League in hitting (.417), hits (25) and runs (15) while only Tulsa's Nolan Arenado has even half of his 13 doubles (in 15 games). After a relatively slow start to the week, Barnes went 7-for-12 with two homers, three doubles, five RBIs and five runs scored over the weekend as Corpus Christi snapped a four-game skid with three straight wins over visiting Frisco. The hitting spree earned Barnes his second consecutive Player of the Week award.
Barnes hits two-run shot for Hooks
California League
A.J. Kirby-Jones, Stockton
(.375/.483/.875, 7 G, 9-for-24, 3 2B, 3 HR, 8 RBI, 5 BB, 9 K)
Though the rest of Kirby-Jones' week was solid, it was overshadowed by his performance against Lake Elsinore on Wednesday. The 23-year-old first baseman became the first Minor Leaguer this year to hit three home runs in a game, and he also drove in five runs as the Ports blanked the Storm, 8-0. Kirby-Jones closed out the week with four hits in six at-bats at Modesto over the weekend and leads the California League with a .484 on-base percentage. He ranks third in batting and fourth in slugging.
Carolina League
Ronnie Welty, Frederick
(.611/.632/1.111, 4 G, 11-for-18, 4 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 9 RBI, 4 R, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 SB)
After batting just .228 in 122 Double-A games last year, Welty found himself back in the Carolina League to start the 2012 campaign. Not for long, however, as his award-winning performance persuaded the Orioles to promote him to Double-A Bowie today. The Frederick outfielder posted a pair of four-hit games in the Keys' rain-shortened four-game week, capped by a five-RBI performance at Lynchburg on Friday that saw him triple and double twice. Welty ranks second in the league in batting (.415) and RBIs (17) and is tied for the circuit lead with seven doubles in 11 games.
Florida State League
Christian Yelich, Jupiter
(.500/.615/1.100, 6 G, 10-for-20, 2 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 7 R, 6 BB, 4 K, 1 SB)
Yelich, the Marlins' top prospect, missed the end of Spring Training and the first week of the season with a bruised right elbow. He's shown no signs of rust since joining the Hammerheads on April 15, going 12-for-24 with two homers, two triples, two doubles, seven walks and nine runs scored in seven games. The 20-year-old outfielder has collected multiple hits in five of his seven outings and completed a variance on the cycle on Saturday, delivering a single, double, triple and solo homer in seven at-bats as Jupiter split a doubleheader against visiting Charlotte.
No. 35 prospect: Christian Yelich
Midwest League
Ender Inciarte, South Bend
(.550/.640/.950, 6 G, 11-for-20, 6 2B, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 5 R, 5 BB, 3 K, 2 SB)
Inciarte emerged from a five-game, 1-for-19 slump with a pair of hits Wednesday and has not let up yet, finishing the week with 11 hits -- seven of them for extra bases -- in 17 at-bats over five games. The 21-year-old outfielder went 4-for-4 with three doubles and three runs in the Silver Hawks' 12-10 win over Beloit on Thursday. It was Inciarte's second career four-hit game and first since Aug. 23, 2008, when he went 4-for-4 in the final game of his Dominican Summer League season.
South Atlantic League
Kyle Kubitza, Rome
(.440/.517/.920, 6 G, 11-for-25, 4 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 7 R, 3 BB, 6 K, 2 SB, 1 CS)
Kubitza hit .321/.407/.475 in the Appalachian League last summer and this spring has picked up right where he left off -- while adding some power. The Texas State product has already collected four longballs and three triples in 15 games this season; he had just one homer and three three-baggers in 44 games with Danville last year. Kubitza opened the week with a three-hit, four-RBI performance against Savannah on Monday that saw him fall a double shy of the cycle. The 21-year-old added four hits -- three of them doubles -- at Asheville on Thursday, and blasted a solo shot on Sunday to give him a share of the Sally League home run lead.

GSA Awards Technical and Management Support Services Contracts to Small Businesses
December 24, 1997
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231 or
Washington, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service (FTS) has announced two additional awards to small businesses under the Technical and Management Support Services Contract (TMS). Eight contract awards have been made to date under TMS. The first six contracts were awarded to large businesses in September.
These latest two awards -- to SETA, Corp., of McLean, VA, and SHERIKON, Inc., of Chantilly, VA, -- result from GSA's ongoing efforts to provide greater opportunities to small businesses and 8(a) firms to compete for more government telecommunications business. The contracts awarded under the TMS program are for two-years with three one-year options and have an estimated total value of up to $3 billion.
These awards are the second series of contracts awarded under the TMS program. The six large businesses awarded contracts on September 12, 1997 were Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) of Falls Church, VA.; Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Inc. of McLean, VA.; Unisys Corporation of McLean, VA; Boeing Information Services, Inc. of Vienna, VA; DynCorp Information & Engineering Technology, Inc. of Fairfax, VA. and; BDM International, Inc. of McLean, VA.
"The award of these contracts to small businesses is a very important step in GSA's commitment to support the small business community", said FTS Commissioner Dennis Fischer. "Small businesses have a significant role to play in satisfying the Government's Information Technology needs and we are confident of the ability of these companies to meet the high performance standards expected under these contracts."
FTS Deputy Commissioner Sandy Bates said, "We are very pleased to have awarded these contracts as they will provide a critical link for GSA and other agencies as their information technology services evolve to meet the needs of the next century. The TMS contracts will provide cost effective, high quality telecommunications support services to Federal agencies and will allow customers to obtain support services for transition to the FTS2001 contracts when awarded."
Under the TMS contracts customers will be able to acquire engineering and analytical support, operations and maintenance support, testing and evaluation support, and program management support when needed.
For additional technical information on TMS contact Robert Abood on (703) 760-7749, or Richard Camp on (703) 904-2834, or visit the FTS website at http://fts.gsa.gov.

Record set for state overtime
The new report from the New York State Comptroller's office is that overtime at state agencies and departments hit a record last year. $611 million at the end of last year, according to Comptroller Tom Dinapoli.
"And when you chart over the past seven years, overtime is up 27% at our state agencies," Dinapoli said.
That's primarily in the Office of Mental Health, Dept. of Corrections and Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, the report said. Overall the state workforce has declined by nearly 20,000 since 2007.
DiNAPOLI: STATE AGENCY OVERTIME HITS RECORD $611 MILLION
Overtime earnings at state agencies rose to a record $611 million in 2013, a nearly 16 percent increase compared to 2012, according to a report released today by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. Overtime increased in 2013 for the third straight year.
"State employees logged 14.8 million overtime hours last year, costing taxpayers a record $611 million. New York's overtime bill is increasing and needs to be reined in," DiNapoli said. "State agencies should take a hard look at how they are using overtime and for what. To hold the line on state spending, state agencies should double their efforts to reduce this expensive habit."
DiNapoli's report found for the seven-year period ending in 2013, overtime earnings were up by 27.3 percent. Overtime represented 3.9 percent of total payroll in 2013, the highest share in the years analyzed for the report.
Three agencies that operate institutional facilities - the Office of Mental Health (OMH), the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) and the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities - accounted for 63.5 percent of the overtime hours in 2013. Total overtime hours dropped slightly at all three, compared with 2012. Other agencies paid high hourly rates for overtime, such as the State Police, which spent an average of $74.35 per hour of overtime at a cost of $35 million. DOCCS paid the next highest average of $51.18 per hour of overtime for a total of $160 million.
Meanwhile, DiNapoli's report found the state's agency workforce has declined 10.9 percent, from 180,564 in 2007 to 160,829 last year, excluding the State University of New York and City University of New York.

WATCH: Taliban: Here's video of Bergdahl handover
(NEWSER) – The moment Bowe Bergdahl saw freedom after five years of captivity is captured in a dramatic video released by the Taliban. In the 17-minute video, a clean-shaven Bergdahl can be seen waiting in a pickup truck while Taliban soldiers stand guard in eastern Afghanistan, Reuters reports. "We told them there are 18 armed fighters and the Americans said that's alright," a man can be heard saying. After a Black Hawk helicopter lands, three men who appear to be Americans walk to meet Bergdahl and two of his captors.

In Maryland, the authorities arrested a number of Coxey's "soldiers" as vagrants.
For Secretary of the Navy, Coxey, and then he could keep off the grass.
He hinted that Coxey and I would follow, but I wasn't so sure.
And it would be so small a part of Coxey's army that the main body would march on and never miss it.
I suppose it was a joke, so I got off an old one to Coxey, and he brayed with merriment.
Oh, yes, Steward, there are enough germs in those blankets to destroy all of Coxey's Army.
Coxey happened to swallow one, and said he wouldn't lie down for a week for fear of puncturing himself.
The whole affair reminded Archie of some camp of a section of the famous Coxey army, when he had seen it long ago.
One of the most remarkable appeals made directly to the law-making powers by the unemployed was that of Coxey's "Commonweal Army."
I am an American, an ex-member of Coxey's unwashed army, so I don't want to say yes or nay to this question.

The Battle Against Contagious Diseases
If you lived in Iowa during the 1800s, getting sick could be a frightening experience. People had no idea why they became sick. Even doctors didn't know causes for many diseases. They treated people for the symptoms and not the causes of diseases. Little was known by scientists about the causes of various diseases. No one knew about bacteria, germs or viruses and how they could spread disease. Treating an illness often combined guesswork, superstitious practices, the use of herbs and home remedies. Early doctors did not have many ways or choices for treating patients.
What Caused Disease
Disease was thought to be caused by bad vapors or smells called "miasmas." People thought disease traveled through the air, in the winds, the water and underground. They thought disease was caused by miasmas coming from filth, rotting vegetation, garbage, unclean water, sewage and damp soil.
People didn't realize that cleanliness played an important part in good health. Keeping clean was hard work. Early homes often had dirt floors or wooden floors that allowed dirt to settle between the boards. Homes didn't have running water or indoor bathrooms. People did not wash themselves or their clothes very often. Taking a bath was even considered to be unhealthy. If you wanted soap, you had to make it. People did not brush their teeth every day. Some families had large numbers of people living in very crowded spaces. The standards of cleanliness were much different than today.
Contagious Diseases and Immigration
It was the rich soil and the inexpensive land prices ($1.25 an acre) that brought new settlers to the Iowa territory. About 38,000 people had settled here by 1840. Communities of settlers established permanent homes, businesses and farms. After Iowa became a state in 1846 European immigrants came to the state in large numbers. Immigration from Europe was strongest from 1870–1900. The 1880 census showed over 260,000 immigrants lived in Iowa. The total population of the state was about 1.6 million.
The immigrants who came to Iowa brought their languages, customs and cultures. They also brought something else to their new homeland. They brought diseases including malaria (ague), cholera, diphtheria, typhoid fever and smallpox. These diseases quickly spread among many people. Iowa newspapers were cautious in reporting local outbreaks. They feared a negative impact on the local economy. News of epidemics might discourage new businesses or settlement by new families.
Epidemics Take Lives
Epidemics threatened the lives of early Iowa settlers. Highly contagious diseases—cholera, smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid fever—spread quickly from person to person. Both the poor and the wealthy were affected by the dreaded diseases. An epidemic could affect whole families at one time as described in Iowa History Illustrated:
When one of a family became sick [with cholera], another and another would be attacked, till often whole families in a few hours would be taken away. Neighborhoods would be alarmed and many left their homes, and frequently it was difficult to get any one to take care of the sick, or bury the dead.
Cholera was one of the most dreaded diseases. In many cases the spread of cholera may have been related to the arrival of immigrants. The ships they traveled on were unclean and very crowded. Animals on the ships, including rats, were carriers of the disease too. The symptoms were severe. Victims suffered from nausea, vomiting, chills, thirst and spasms. Some had to be put in isolation or quarantined. Quarantines often did not prevent the spread of this disease. Many immigrants died from cholera.
Another common disease Iowa settlers suffered from was called ague. The symptoms for ague were similar to what we would consider the "flu" in today's society. Victims would experience fever, followed by chills and sweating. Sometimes whole families came down with the disease at once. It could last for hours, days or months. What the settlers called ague was probably malaria.
An early resident of eastern Iowa in the 1840s is remembered in Iowa Heritage Illustrated:
We just shook and shook and shook, with the ague. We could only eat when the chill was on us, being too sick when the fever was on. I will remember how the cup would rattle again my teeth when I tried to drink.
Public Health Reform
Important changes related to public health and the spread of diseases happened in the late 1800s. Iowa established a State Board of Health in 1880. It worked hard to dispel the idea that vapors or miasmas from decay and filth caused disease. The Board emphasized that things like overcrowding of population, faulty ventilation and the presence of filth were conditions not causes of diseases. Ridding towns and cities of filth and decay was the goal of the great sanitation movement.
In the battle against disease health workers turned their focus to controlling contagious diseases. They worked to prevent illnesses from spreading. Quarantines, vaccines, antitoxins and other preventive measures were the weapons they used to fight the battle.
American homemakers also played an important role in disease control and health reform. Women were given information about nutrition, childrearing, housekeeping and cleanliness. Mothers reminded children to keep the flies out, wash their hands and cover their mouths when they sneezed or coughed. Advertisements were aimed at women and their concerns for healthy families. New words such as "sanitary," "pure," "disinfects" and "germ-fighting" appeared in ads. The scent of pine was added to cleansers. Packaged food and cellophane-wrapped bakery goods replaced uncovered, open-air displays of groceries. Anyplace where dirt and germs could lurk was considered the culprit of disease. Special soaps, deodorants and mouthwashes attracted the American consumer.
Modern expectations and standards for cleanliness are very different from the past. Looking back allows us to see how far public health has come. Advances in medicine have eliminated the contagious diseases that at one time brought death to many.
Today there is an emphasis on health and preventing illness. People have a curiosity about the nature of disease. Modern technology makes it easier for the general public to access medical and health related information. Maintaining good health and living a healthy lifestyle are now easier than in the days of the early settlers.

Another big find from the Super Zoo Pet Expo is the brand new Neater Feeder pet feeding system. This is perfect if you have a cat, like my Sophie, who makes a big mess while she eats and drinks. The folks at Neater Feeder sent me one to test and there are a lot of things I really like about this product.
The idea behind the Neater Feeder is that it contains food and water spills, keeping your floors and walls clean while creating a more sanitary eating environment. The top portion of the feeder has nice high walls to contain the mess, and it holds two removable stainless steel bowls. Spilled food stays inside the top section and spilled water drains into the bottom reservoir. The whole feeder is constructed of sturdy plastic and has awesome non-skid feet to hold it in place. In addition to containing the mess, the Neater Feeder provides a raised feeding surface to help improve kitty's digestion. All parts of the feeder can be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
But wait, there's more!
Now here is the feature that really caught my attention. For those of you who feed outdoor cats, the Neater Feeder has a special bug-proof design! The top portion of the feeder has an overhanging edge that keeps ants and other bugs from climbing over the edge and into the food. When I heard about this secondary feature I knew the Moderncat readers would be interested. I've seen other bug-deterring bowls, like the Fool-A-Bug Bowl, but none with all the other features of the Neater Feeder.
Based on my experience — and the particular way my Sophie makes a mess — I wouldn't use the Neater Feeder with both water and food at the same time because a lot of Sophie's food would just end up in the water dish. So, if you have the same situation, my suggestion is to use the feeder with either two bowls of water or two bowls of food, or perhaps in the next design, the folks at the Neater Feeder could add another divider between the two bowls. Just my thoughts, but I plan to keep using my Neater Feeder because I haven't had to clean the food off the floor at all, when normally I'm picking up spilled food all day long.
The cat-sized Neater Feeder is $34.99 US and comes in two beautiful color choices, cranberry or bronze. You can purchase the feeder directly from the Neater Feeder website, and also at Amazon.
Here's your chance to try the Neater Feeder for yourself! Please leave a comment on this post with your thoughts about the Neater Feeder and how it could make your life a little neater and you'll be entered to win a small Neater Feeder. One winner will be chosen in a random drawing on October 26 and contacted via email. One entry per person, please. This contest in open only to addresses in the US and Canada.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Playing without their leading scorer, the Saint Leo men's basketball team could not answer a hot-shooting Lynn University squad as the Lions fell 61-50 in Sunshine State Conference action at the deHornle Center on Wednesday evening. The loss dropped the Lions to 9-10 overall and 3-6 in the SSC while Lynn improves to 12-10 and 5-5 in conference.
The first half went back-and-forth with Lynn taking a one point lead at the 14:42 mark over Saint Leo. Lynn then rattled off five-straight points to go up by six with 13:26 left in the half.
With 4:38 left in the first Lynn managed to take the lead up to 11 points. Saint Leo cut the Lynn advantage down to seven on a Tom Neary layup with under a minute and a half left in the period before the Knights ended the period on a 6-0 run to go into the locker room up 34-21.
Saint Leo shot just 26.7 percent in the first half and the Lions held a 1-for-7 mark from behind the arc. The hosts countered with a 54 percent shooting clip which included a 5-for-9 mark from downtown.
Out of the lockers, Lynn stretched its advantage to the largest of the game up 38-22 with 17:34 remaining, forcing the Green and Gold to try to play catch-up for the remainder.
The Lions trimmed the lead down to nine on several occasions, but every time the Fighting Knights responded and pushed their advantage back to double-digits and would eventually run out the clock.
Three Lions scored double-figures with Neary and Marcus Ruh splitting the team title with 12 points each. Dominick Robinson added 10 points in the loss.
Jeremy Lampkin led Lynn with 11 points and also grabbed seven rebounds. Brandon Smith followed Lampkin with 10 points as the only other Fighting Knight in double-digits.

Stark County sheriff ousted
(Columbus) - The Ohio Supreme Court has ordered a northeast Ohio sheriff removed from office because he doesn't have the required experience.
The court ruled against Stark County Sheriff George Maier. He was appointed early this year in Canton to fill a vacancy.
The court ruled his service from 2007 to 2011 with the Ohio Department of Public Safety only reflected part-time law-enforcement work.
Ohio law requires a sheriff to have four recent years of full-time law-enforcement work. The court ordered the reinstatement of the acting sheriff.
Stark County Commisioner Tom Bernabei tells Newsradio WTAM they are disappointed with the decision, but will abide by it.
Party leaders now must appoint a sheriff to replace the elected Democrat who was unable to serve because of poor health.

It's easy to think of architects around 1990 as preoccupied with form-making and historical allusion, but social issues had by no means been forgotten—and certainly not by that year's jury of architects, planners, and researchers. A development for needy Escondido residents, identified as "Housing for Homeless Mothers and Children," satisfied the jurors' desire to find socially responsible housing solutions.
Completed by the North County Housing Foundation and now known as Daybreak Grove, this complex includes 13 townhouses neatly lined up around a shared courtyard. Davids Killory Architecture's design emphasizes the home-scaled identity of the individual units, each provided with a front porch and a room-sized private open court. Each unit also includes a first-floor bedroom, with a second loft bedroom overlooking the double-height living room. On the exterior, crisp geometric forms and tinted stucco yield compositions that are playful yet dignified—and compatible with the Southern California residential vernacular.
In this citation-winning scheme, the shared central courtyard was filled with play structures that some jurors found excessive for this project. In actuality, the play equipment has been sharply scaled down, and the largely open space features a modest laundry building, topped with steps for climbing and sitting. A canopy of trees now shades this community space.
In 1992, a P/A Award went to a second project in Escondido by Davids Killory for the same client: a seven-unit vest-pocket development for homeless families, now known as Sunrise Place. Both can still serve as models for affordable housing in which residents and the larger community can take pride.

text: So I did an update with KPackageKit today. It found something like 16 packages to update/install. I hit install and left my comp. BT5 is running in VM. When I got back my machine had gone to sleep and KPackageKit reported an unknown error. Now I'm worried that the updates it "installed" have not been properly installed/updated. Is there a way to "re-install" all the updates it just did? Or check the integrity of the installs it just did, other than maybe doing a dpkg-query --list on every package listed in the update?
