Let me try to give a summary of the features in - *(CLISP) 2000-03-06 - Eclipse - ACL 6.0 (not yet released) - LispWorks 4.0.1 * Character and string types In Eclipse, ACL, LispWorks the type BASE-CHAR includes only Latin-1 characters, whereas the CHARACTER type includes all of Unicode (16 bit). In CLISP, BASE-CHAR and CHARACTER are equivalent and include all of Unicode (16 bit). The memory representation of read-only strings (e.g. symbol print names and program literals) is optimized to 1 byte/character if possible. * Supported external formats of streams - CLISP 2000-03-06: Around 80 external formats, including all of the ones supported by browsers and Linux locales. - Eclipse: Only :ASCII (1 byte/character), :UCS (2 bytes/character), and :MULTI-BYTE (locale dependent multibyte representation, works only on OSes for which wchar_t is Unicode). - ACL 6.0: Lots of external formats, mostly table-driven. - LispWorks: Around 10 external formats, including Latin-1, Unicode (2 bytes/character), UTF-8, and the most important Japanese encodings (but not ISO-2022-JP). Different end-of-line conventions are indicated to OPEN through the :external-format argument in CLISP and LispWorks, and through an extra argument to OPEN in Eclipse. * Additional API - CLISP: STRING-WIDTH returns the display width of a string, used by FORMAT ~T. - Eclipse: none. - ACL: unknown. - LispWorks: functions for guessing the encoding of a file (important for Japanese environments) * FFI support - CLISP: FFI can pass strings only with single-byte encodings. - Eclipse, ACL: unknown - LispWorks: a few specialized macros for passing strings from/to C.
CMUCLAs of version 20A, CMUCL has Unicode support, using UTF-16 internally.
SBCLAs of version 0.8.17 SBCL features Unicode support
* new feature: a build-time option (controlled by the :SB-UNICODE keyword feature, enabled by default) for building the system with support for the entire 21-bit character space defined by the Unicode consortium.There are a few details on the sbcl-internals cliki, and a more detailed explanation from Christophe Rhodes which he presented at the European Common Lisp Meeting, April 2005 in this pdf.
CLISPSince version 2.31, CLISP supports the entire 21-bit Unicode character space.
Since version 2.35, the FFI can pass strings in multibyte encodings as well.

Slam-Dunk of the Day
April 2007
Slam-Dunk of the Day
Person of the Day
"We spend more on defense than the rest of the world put together. Who are we afraid of? . . . Iraq has never been a threat to us. We invaded them. . . .
The Military Industrial Complex not only controls our government lock, stock and barrel, but they control our culture."
Terror Toy of the Day
Human Oddity of the Day
Fredo and Georgie, the incredible Siamese Pinheads. Although desiring the novelty of thought, each will wait for the other to start.
"The attorney general went up and gave a very candid assessment and answered every question he could answer, that he could possibly answer in a way that INCREASED MY CONFIDENCE that he can do the job."
GW Bush 4/24/07.
Historically Significant Space Missile Screw-up of the Day
It turns out we knew about this in advance and said nothing, did nothing, needing to give ourselves future cover for a mythological Star Wars system. Said Joseph Cirincione of the Center for American Progress, "This was absolutely preventable. The Chinese have been proposing a treaty to ban weapons in space for years. We have refused in order to pursue this fantasy of space-based antimissile weapons."
Weak in the head = weak on defense. Free slogan.
New Unit of Measure of the Day
PS: Harry Reid is the first US pol to state "we lost". Relative Profile in Courage.

Latest LA Times/Bloomberg Poll:

Mitt Romney 8%
Person of the Day
"Can I tell you the truth? I mean this isn't the TV news is it? Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we're hooked on."
" . . .All lights are about to go out. No more electricity. All forms of transportation are about to stop, and the planet Earth will soon have a crust of skulls and bones and dead machinery.
And nobody can do anything about it. It's too late in the game.
Don't spoil the party but here's the truth: We have squandered our planet's resources, including air and water, as though there were no tomorrow, so now there isn't going to be one.
So there goes the Junior Prom, but that's not the half of it."
Here's to Vonnegut and a renewed human dedication to wakefulness, attention and care. And good art.
Unemployed War Czar of the Day
MARINE GENERAL JACK SHEEHAN. At least three candidates have turned down the White House as it searches for a "war czar" (as, I suppose, Bush, Cheney and Gates are otherwise occupied). One of the three, Gen. Sheehan said, "The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going. So rather than go over there and develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, "No thanks"."
Superfund Site of the Day
PS: Larry Gerbrandt, senior vice president and media analyst for Nielson says, "My bet is he survives . . . If the notoriety pushes up his ratings, he could even come out ahead."
Person of the Day
Person of the Day
Day 1: "I'm a lifelong hunter."

Day 3 (?): "A Painted Lady, tra-la!"
Person of the Day

"(Abortion) is your choice and it's an individual right. It's your right and I don't think society should put you in jail for it." Later on: "Abortion is wrong, but ultimately it's a Constitutional right. (I would support public funding of abortion) if it remains a Constitutional right."
On the same day came the latest reports from New Hampshire, showing him dead even woth McCain. Does this mean an ultimate image change for the GOP . . . or just for Rudy?
Persons of the Day
Hi from Austin Texas, Burckhart Country, where I'm the guest of Texas Monthly. The assignment is a dreamy one: float around the Capitol, grab what's there and, somehow, put together a story. The first couple of days on any story is about orientation; finding out where the lines interest, color and maximum relevance are. An early Monday meeting with TJ Tucker, the designer and I was off to the dome. Things started to come together quickly. This is a very easy place to get around in. People are extremely friendly. But none more so than Marc and Janice who invited me over on Monday. They live in a kind of characteristically low-key-high-style home perched on a hill overlooking glittery downtown Austin on one side and the river and a music arena on the other! Paradise to a surreal power. Marc's image insignia for this year's Texas Medal of Arts Award was on display at a cocktail reception we went to. The next night was the big award ceremony. This award honored Texas high achievers, among whom are Walter Cronkite and Ornette Coleman, who are both here.
Here's Marc's image
After the House adjourned a meeting of the Environmental Committee began. Into the night they took up bills that would regulate coal plants. The governor, Bush's successor Rick Perry, has contributed to the green backlash here by promoting coal plant building, using the dirtiest technology. This has galvanized ranchers, tree-huggers, corporations (who will lose if the area is condemned for its air quality). They have knocked out a good number of these plants so far. This was actually thrilling to see.

Apple iDesk
Adam Benton's iDesk concept looks like it's fallen right out of an official Apple design portfolio. Its ability to sync any iOS device by placing it on its touch sensitive surface (which doubles as a trackpad) would be reason enough to drool, but coupled with its sleek looks, the iDesk makes us powerless to resist. Take all our money. Take it now.
Han Solo carbonite desk
Our Star Wars-ometer has just exploded in the face of this magnificent one-off creation by Tom Spina Designs. The beautiful metal and fibreglass construction combined with a heavy glass top radiates an overpowering mixture of evil genius, sleek styling and a big dollop of nerdiness.
DC-4 conference table
Why should you get all the fun? Treat your entire team to a big slice of quirky table shenanigans with this 14ft conference table crafted from aluminium, red LEDs and a DC-4 plane wing. That's right – an aeroplane wing. In an office. Pricing is available on request from motoart. Who knows? It might be cheap? It won't.
The Nethrone classic workstation
While the Nethrone classic's appearance falls somewhere in between an operators workstation in the Matrix and Sauron's dentist chair, it is in fact a highly ergonomic flexible solution to cater you your highest comforts. Yours for a mere US$2,000.
Samsung SUR40 – Microsoft Surface 2.0
Unlike the iDesk concept, this 40in Sammy-made second generation Microsoft Surface table is real (assuming you can afford its £7,000 pricetag). With the ability to recognise more than 50 simultaneous touchpoints and interact with objects placed upon it, the Surface will make your iPad cower in a corner and feel neglected.

I have seen that Coner hignett is to fight pro against Danny Missin but he is only 17!
What are people's thoughts on this?
No disrespect meant to coner
If he wants to do it, then thats the end of it.
e.g. If someone wanted to put their hand into boiling hot water, you should probably try to stop them
That kind of attitude could allow all sorts of dangerous unqualified or unskilled people compete and endanger the sport. What happens if a 15 or 16 year old wants to fight pro and ends up getting hospitalised and someone goes to the press and says. "Well he wanted to do it, so we let him".
As an industry we have to take some responsibility for the things that go on inside it

I think that in this case though, Ian Dean's position is the right one. At the end of the day, as long as 18 is the age of majority, that has to be the cut off point for allowing people to take such risks.
Look on the bright side. I'm old enough to remember when 21 was the age of majority
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with
Seen him fight a few times and he is good enough.
Mike "the mic" Persil
As long as he has the right experienced people around him then I don't see a issue. I don't know the lad so unfair to comment further.
He's only a couple of months off 18 mind. I've seen him smash experienced guys over ten years older than him. He's got a good coach looking after him who wouldn't put him in harms way.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
TTT for Ian's unassailable point.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Its a tricky one, but 18 probably makes more sense from the point of view of protecting the sport as much as the individuals.
I could drive a car at 14, didn't mean I could get a license to then though.. 18 is plenty young enough to go pro, that extra time (for those wanting to turn pro sooner) could be spent developing as an Am anyway which isn't a bad thing.
Fuck when I was 18 all I wanted to do was hump everything, so in that regard it would have been safer to keep me out of a cage til I was at least 21!
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.

then configure your wireless card in the command line like lonewolf said the wifi managers suck dont use them. and a note to all newbies to linux learn the command line in fact I found the best way to learn it is to install a distro without a GUI and force your self to learn the shell.Code:ifconfig eth1 up
Wow I must be the luckiest Broadcom owner ever I have 2 of them (4311 and 4318) and I have not had any problems with ether of them. looking at your commands the first thing you need to do is run
ifconfig eth1 up
then configure your wireless card in the command line like lonewolf said the wifi managers suck dont use them. and a note to all newbies to linux learn the command line in fact I found the best way to learn it is to install a distro without a GUI and force your self to learn the shell.
i totaly agree with you i only tryed to use the wifi manager after i wasnt able to get the card working, thanks for the advice but eth1 is up. wen you type ifconfig it shows the devices that are up, if i could only c my loopback or the loop back and the wired connection then you need to bring it up
Ubuntu/backtrack 3 - HP pavilion DV6000
time and time again i say put your card into master mode
iwconfig adapter mode master after putting ur adapter up that is
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.
Ok, again I done everything in command line. I set the adapter "up" and put it to "master" mode, took it off monitor mode, set the correct essid, encryption key, etc and then used the command iwlist eth1 scan which returned:
eth1 interface doesnt support scanning : no such device
However, when I use iwconfig I can see clearly that adapter eth1 is up, on master mode and has all other settings set correctly.
Any ideas?
it just dosnt work ive given up on my broadcom card my brother has the exact same card in a dv2000(mine is a dv6000) and his works but mine dosnt. the fact is that these are reverse engineered drivers so there far from perfect
Ubuntu/backtrack 3 - HP pavilion DV6000
It just blows me away that people just wont buy a supported card. I mean $45 -$100 dollars is just not that much money. If you take into account all the time you spent trying to get your suck a** broadcom to work you probably could have raked the neighbors leaves or something for the cash and bought a alfa. I am far from rich however I did have the good sense to get a Alfa 500mw, A umbiqity src AND a netgear wg511t. Heres the best part, since purchasing these cards I have been able to use every tool in the bt arsenal and have not had any problems. I usually keep out of this stuff but with all the broadcom threads recently and other crappy cards I decide to interject my opinion. So what does all this mean? Get a job and buy a real card if you want to do wireless auditing. You can only polish a turd so much because it will always be a turd.
If you read the forums. They say very often bt is not a beginner-distro.
Maby if you learn just the most commend commando's for setting up a network under linux.
Then you should know the commando's to turn your card on.
But for most people reading is VERY hard........

There's no feeling of relief like a rumor proven wrong, and I hope to hell that the latest rumors on the next-generation Xbox are completely off the mark. If they are true, they are a bad sign for the industry.
EDGE Online has the rumored details and specs on the next-generation console, which some fans call the Xbox 720. The specs look great and rumors of a Blu-ray player are excellent news.
But one thing gives me major pause: a persistent Internet connection is required and the console will not allow for users to play second-hand games. EDGE went on to say that all disc-based games for the new console will include one-time-use online activation codes.
As it is, activation codes are used on PC games, and gamers hate it. However, the PC market is small compared to consoles. This attempt at gaining control over buying and play habits of consoles is far more significant and needs to be pushed back.
From attempts by the record companies to tax blank tapes back in the 1980s to record labels attacking used record stores to Circuit City's epic failure with Divx, content owners have barely masked their greed and desire to control your consumption habits over the years.
Now Microsoft is basically attempting to put an entire industry out of business. Game Stop's stock took a pounding on this rumor because so much of its business relies on buying and reselling used games.
There is a case before the Supreme Court, Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, arguing on the right of first ownership. We won't know for a few months how the court decides, but judging by the questions in the court as reported by the New York Times, the judges weren't having it.
Generally speaking, when you buy something, you have a right to do what you want with it. The record industry tried to stop used CD sales and failed. Back in 1993, Garth Brooks (at the height of his popularity) attempted to refuse selling an album in stores that also sold used CDs, and it blew up in his face. Not only that, but the major labels wound up under an FTC antitrust investigation for their attempts to stunt used CD sales.
But the tech industry is doing a better job of eroding that right. Yes, Divx failed. But there's the DMCA that makes almost everyone a criminal, whether they know it or not. Last year, I wrote for another publication about how you don't really own the books on your Kindle.
One thing you have to remember about anyone trying to take away your rights is they never go for it in one bite. It's always incremental. There needs to be major push-back on this move or you will all find yourselves in an environment where any and all content and IP merchants can reach into your home and take everything you own.
As I said, I really hope this rumor is wrong.

Kaysville • Copper Hills pitcher Payten Davies had been nervous as she stepped into the circle for her first playoff start two days earlier.
But the sophomore looked like a seasoned vet when her coached called upon her again Thursday.
Davies pitched a complete game, giving up a single run to help Copper Hills roll over Davis 5-1 in the second round of the Class 5A state softball tournament.
Grizzlies coach Jentry Johnson said she "went with my gut" in giving Davies the nod for a second consecutive game.
"She's worked her tail off," the coach said. "I have a really good pitching staff, which makes it hard for me to know what to do. Payten has had some recent success that I think is fueling her fire a little bit."
Copper Hills jumped out to an early lead. Riley Cleverly set the table with a second-inning double that put runners on second and third. The Grizzlies' hitters continued to find gaps in the Davis defense and claimed a 3-0 lead. Davies showed good command of her rise ball and kept the Darts off the scoreboard for five innings.
"I just go out there and throw and trust my defense," the pitcher said.
Davis' Breezy Roth got on base with a leadoff walk and later scored thanks to a Copper Hills throwing error in the bottom of the sixth.
But the Grizzlies had five runs on the board by that point, thanks in part to an RBI double by second baseman Paige Watts.
Johnson said she thinks her young Grizzlies a starting lineup that features just two seniors and one junior have begun to hit their stride.
"In the early part of the season, our freshmen were looking over their shoulders and the sophomores were looking over their shoulders to see who was going to do it," the coach said. "After a lot of hard practices and a lot of hard games, they've started to look at themselves and say, 'I'm the one who can get it done.' "

|Summary: Write CD-Rs in Disk-At-Once Mode
CDRDAO creates CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode driven by a description file called a toc file. In DAO mode, it is possible to create nonstandard track pregaps that have lengths other than 2 seconds and contain nonzero audio data. This is useful for dividing live recordings into tracks where 2 second gaps would be irritating.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- A man who authorities say used a fake identity and counterfeit money to purchase a car in Rancho Cucamonga was arrested by sheriff's deputies Tuesday.
Joseph Anderson, 26, of Monrovia was booked into Central Detention Center in San Bernardino on suspicion of possessing a stolen vehicle.
A deputy stopped Anderson while he was driving near the 210 Freeway and Base Line in Highland at 3:36 a.m. after discovering the vehicle had been reported stolen.
Sheriff's officials said Anderson purchased the white GMC Jimmy with counterfeit $100 bills and used another person's identity while buying the car.

3.) Voting is done by "hugging" your favorite picture. Voting ends every Saturday at 10:00 pm (PST).
4.) The winner will be announced in the sticky for the new week's theme, on Sundays.
5.) Any comment that is not a photo will be deleted, as it will make it more confusing to vote. ( You may now vote for as many photos as you like.)
6.) Remember, this is a public forum. Anyone and everyone can see and have access to you pics. Only, post what you're ok with everyone being able to see.
7.) BBC (BabyCenter) guidelines for pics will be followed.
8.) Have Fun!!

So, you've just taken delivery of your shiny new Samsung Galaxy S5 – the most feature-packed smartphone on the planet.
But how to make the most of those features? You need to tool up with some accessories. We've picked out the best headphones, cases and kit for music, gaming and everyday use.
Extra battery kit (£30)
One of the advantages of the Galaxy S5 is that you don't need to faff about with unsightly battery cases or bulky battery packs; if you're running low on juice you can just pop the back off and swap the removable battery out with a replacement. Of course, first you need your replacement battery; pick up two or three and even the longest of long-haul flights will hold no terrors for you.
Sol Republic Master Tracks (£170)
We called these over-ear cans "light, comfortable and virtually indestructible," in our review – so they'll sit nicely alongside the newly-ruggedised Galaxy S5. They're nicely understated in gunmetal, white or blue finishes, and deliver balanced, dynamic sound with plenty of poise and detail.
S View Flip Cover (£37)
The Galaxy S5's plastic build has its detractors, it's fair to say. But that removable back cover has one key advantage over swanky metal and glass affairs – you can swap it out for Samsung's neatly-designed S View Flip Cover, giving you extra screen protection without adding bulk. There's a handy S View window in the cover, so you can check your notifications and answer calls on a customised screen; cleverly, your phone detects the colour of your S View cover and changes the colour of the window display to match it.
Moga Hero Power controller (US$60)
Yes, Samsung has an official Wireless Gamepad, and very nice it is too. But it's bulky, heavy and – crucially – lacks dual trigger buttons. This effort from Moga packs a full Xbox 360 controller layout, including twin analogue sticks, D-pad and dual triggers (a requirement for console ports like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas).
It also packs a 1800mAh onboard battery that can – in a pinch – be used to charge your phone, as well as a handy gripper arm for gaming on the go.

These shoes have shock-absorbing springs in the soles that relieve the stress and fatigue of running, walking, or standing better than any shoe available. Tests performed at Michigan State University proved that the patented springs returned up to 96% of the energy from each step that would otherwise be lost to the ground. The downward force deflected and dispersed during each impact is recycled to the wearer as propulsive energy, further reducing the strain on the feet, even for casual walkers or those who stand on their feet most of the workday. Unlike the compressed foams and gels used for cushioning on other athletic shoes, these springs will never break down or degrade. The shoes have a full-grain leather upper, with a one-piece outsole of abrasion-resistant carbon rubber. Each shoe contains one spring in the heel and one in the forefoot. Women's Hook-and-Loop Straps. Whole/half sizes 6-11. If in-between sizes, order the next larger size. Medium width. White or Black. (13 oz.)
To ensure a proper fit in our footwear, we encourage you to measure your foot to determine your shoe size and refer to the shoe sizing chart below.
Lifetime Guarantee
The Adjustable Spring Loaded Walking Shoes (Women's) come with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at email@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

Good support
By Judy
from Corvallis, OR
I go for (brisk) walks around the neighborhood. I had hoped from the description that the shoes would feel 'springy.' They aren't very springy, but they are comfortable walking shoes -- comfortable in the sense that my feet feel well supported. I now always change into them from my regular athletic shoes for these walks. I would recommend them for anyone who walks for exercise or needs to stand for lengths of time. I tried velcro straps for the first time. Much easier than laces, but they do push a little on the front of the ankle. That should get better with time.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The best shoes ever

from Pearland, TX
Having arthritis in my feet and a joint replacement, these are the only shoes I wear for any length of time. They are the only shoes I consistently buy time after time.

Support + Comfort in one pair of shoes
By Judycorvallis
from Corvallis, Oregon
When I had immune system issues and couldn't go where there were people (and germs), my only exercise was walking. We walked 2 1/2 miles twice a day. I needed good shoes. I walked in these shoes almost every day for 5 months. Finally wore them out. I just bought 2 more pair. Even with the wear on the first pair, they are still resilient, stable and comfortable. The base is thick and evens out unevenness in the street and sidewalk. The springs in the base aren't noticeable except that when I wear regular athletic shoes, I MISS them! Highly recommend these Spira shoes. And thanks to Hammacher Schlemmer for remembering details about my original purchase that I had forgotten.
Best Shoes I've Ever Owned
By IBACPA
from Phoenix, AZ
I just purchased my second pair of these shoes because I wanted ones with laces and ones with Velcro (easier at the airport). I am 66 years old and I have hip issues. These shoes allow me to continue to walk both for exercise and for everyday activities with little effect on my hips. These shoes are worth every penny I paid for them.
Happy Feet
By Happy Feet
from MPLS, MN
This last order was my third for this product. I have both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis and lived with foot pain until I tried these shoes. Now I can stay on my feet all day with minimal discomfort. My feet seem to have grown - I ordered the third pair in the same size as the second and they were a bit tight. Calling customer service about an exchange, I experienced the ultimate courtesy and assistance. A replacement pair was shipped to me express mail BEFORE my return was completed. I cannot say enough about the comfort of these shoes! I look forward to using the second pair for gardening this next summer.
Not what expected
By Sue
from Michigan
The toe area was too narrow while the heal allowed for a "sloppy" fit which caused socks to pull down. Front springs were very comfortable, but heel spring did nothing. Velcro closing would not stay on the right foot. Not at all what I expected from the reviews I read online. Thank you.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: We apologize for your experience with this product. Please remember that we offer a lifetime guarantee of satisfaction on this item. If you would like to exchange or return, please contact us at 1-800-321-1484 so we can assist you.
By Meg
from No. Cal.
Been thinking about springs in shoes myself for a while and HS has a reputation for quality, so I didn't hesitate to buy these. But they feel stiff and the sole is tall, so it's like walking in Frankenstein's clunky shoes. And they look orthopedic. I wore them most of a day trying to break them in, or I'd return them. Wish I'd seen HS's running shoe version first; I'd have bought those instead.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: If you are ever disappointed with a product - for any reason - we request that you return it to us. Please call our customer service hotline at 1-800-321-1484 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Ask The Help Desk - Seeing Holiday Graphics Within E-mail Message Pane?
Question: Why can't I see graphics on incoming holiday e-mail messages like I could last year? I get holiday cards from friends and relatives that include family photos and holiday graphics but I am unable to view them this year. I have not changed my computer or updated my e-mail software since last year. I use Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition and I use Outlook Express for my e-mail software.
Answer: Microsoft Corp. developed and released something called Service Pack 2 (SP2) in the fall of 2004 for Windows XP users. The purpose was to "patch holes" in some of Microsoft's software programs to help reduce the threat of e-mail viruses, e-mail worms, and hacker attacks. SP2 most specifically eliminated many of the vulnerabilities within its Internet Explorer browser and Outlook Express/Outlook software programs. Most Windows XP users have since downloaded SP2 onto their computers — sometimes whether they have really realized it or not.
One of SP2's protective measures for Outlook Express and Outlook is to block images from being displayed within incoming e-mail messages as a default setting. Microsoft had discovered that some virus/worm threats arose from malicious code within the graphics of e-mail messages. Microsoft's solution was to prevent users from seeing any graphics within e-mail messages. This is probably the reason you are no longer able to see graphics within your e-mail messages.
Luckily, Microsoft provides an easy option to allow images to appear within messages, either on a per e-mail basis or for all e-mail messages. For more information on how to see images and graphics within the message pane of incoming e-mail messages when using Outlook Express or Outlook, see the Tutorial Section toward the bottom of our newsletter below.

Great Sites To Check Out This Month
Charlotte's Web On The Web
http://charlotteswebmovie.com - When E.B. White spun his tale called Charlotte's Web, families everywhere fell in love with the book about loyalty, trust, and sacrifice at Zuckerman Farm. This month, a live-action adaptation from Paramount opens in theaters. The all-star cast features Julia Roberts as the voice of Charlotte and Dakota Fanning as Fern, and also includes Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Bates, Reba McEntire, Robert Redford, and Beau Bridges. Children will especially love the movie's site where they can meet the animals in the barn and be called by name! You can also download games, iron-ons, and bookmarks, or send a Charlotte's Web e-card to a friend.
Goodbye To Stains When The Party's Over
http://fabriclink.com/Stains/Holidaystain.cfm - A friend spills coffee on your beige carpet. Your 3-year-old smears chocolate on your new sofa. Let's face it — stains often show up uninvited at holiday parties. When it happens, go quickly to this site for professional tips on stain removal from carpets, upholstery, and clothing. You'll find step-by-step advice for getting rid of everything on the stain "menu" from eggnog to salad dressing. That way, the only thing left after your parties are over will be the memories.
Christmas In New York City
http://nyctourist.com/xmas_in_nyc.htm - There's something magical about Christmas in New York that draws scores of visitors each year. If you can't be there in person, enjoy the next best thing by visiting this site. Take an online stroll down Fifth Avenue and see the hustle and bustle of shopper-filled streets. Peek into the holiday window displays at Macy's, Lord & Taylor, and Saks. Gaze at the giant tree at Rockefeller Center. The Big Apple is bursting with holiday spirit and you can get a taste of it here.
Holiday Help For Any Elf
http://xmasfun.com - Are you scurrying around trying to finish last-minute holiday projects? This site is as stuffed as a Christmas stocking with helpful resources including lyrics to carols, festive recipes, and lots of fun games. We particularly liked the collection of free holiday clipart images you can download and use for e-greetings, gift tags, or invitations. To download an image, simply right click on it and select "Save Picture."
Reviewing Regifting
http://regiftable.com - Regifting (giving as a gift something one previously received as a gift) has gained in popularity since comedian Jerry Seinfeld first coined the term a decade ago. In fact, more than half of adults in a recent survey found regifting acceptable. After all, it does save time and money. If you're new to the concept, learn when and how to properly regift in the section called Regifting 101. You can also chuckle through real-life regifting stories, like the woman who received a fondue set with chocolate and marshmallows packages enclosed that had expired two years ago. Oops!

Short Tutorial - How To See Graphics Within Incoming Holiday E-mail
One of the scam-protection features of Outlook Express for those Windows XP users who have installed Service Pack 2 (SP2) is the ability to block the display of images within incoming e-mail. However, what's the fun of receiving e-mail messages from friends or sources you trust unless you can look at the photos and graphics?
To see the images within selected e-mail in Outlook Express, do the following with your Preview Pane open:
(Please note before you follow the steps below to make sure you've downloaded the latest security patches from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.mspx. Also, your anti-virus and anti-spyware software should be up-to-date. Remember to frequently update your anti-virus and anti-spyware software.)
Note: If you don't see the gray bar, open the message in it's own window and follow steps one and two above. Otherwise, click your cursor arrow on the "View" menu and drop down to "Layout." When the "Window Layout Properties" window appears, make sure "Show preview pane header" is checked.
If you want to be able to see all pictures on all incoming e-mail messages that contain images in Outlook Express, you can disable this blocking feature. Here's how:
To disable the graphics-blocking feature in Outlook 2003 so you can see pictures and graphics within all incoming e-mail messages, follow these steps:
(Please note before you follow the steps below to make sure you've downloaded the latest security patches from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.mspx.

When people think of an ideal vacation, they think of laying on the beach with the hot sun beaming down on them as they develop a tan. They think of swimming in the ocean and enjoying the cool breeze, listening to birds and exploring the city to see what amenities it has to offer. Sarasota, Florida is the archetypical beach sight, hosting some of the most beautiful spring break getaways in the country and capturing the Floridian atmosphere people seek after when they vacation. Visitors often opt for one of Sarasota's five star hotels overlooking the beach that often feature Jacuzzis.
This eight mile stretch of shining white sand is what attracts so many spring breakers. People come down to Siesta Key and enjoy watching and listening to the waves, feeling the hot sun penetrating their skin, playing volleyball and building artistic sandcastles. They might even choose to go snorkeling, to explore the depths of the ocean and to see the marine life and organisms that many people will never get to see in their natural habitat. People come to Siesta Key beach to get the most out of their Florida vacation.Mote Marine Laboratory
While one might want to encounter certain forms of marine life while snorkeling, there are others that might leave you panicking if you saw them at the beach, such as sharks and stingrays. While these dangerous creatures may be alarming if found swimming in the ocean, they are a source of intellectual intrigue in other contexts. The Mote Marine Laboratory is an aquarium that puts these creatures on display. Learn about their behavior, how they relate to one another, what they are fed, and more. Most people will never get to see a shark and really stand back to observe it.Ed Smith Stadium
While Florida is in the south, many of the inhabitants are northerners. They are people who migrated down south for the beautiful weather. These northerners much appreciate that their beloved New York Yankees have their spring training camp in Sarasota at Ed Smith Stadium. They can go and see the icons that will propel this established dynasty forward to the World Series. They might even get an opportunity to meet the players and to tell them how much they have appreciated their talent.The South Florida Museum
People go on vacation in search of a number of different things. A spring breaker might want to go to the beach, bar hopping, the mingle with the locals and to take in the sun. But they will also want intellectual intrigue and stimulation. This is why many tourists have decided to visit the South Florida Museum in Bradenton while they are in town. At the museum, they have the opportunity to visit a planetarium, to learn about the distant cosmos from experts in the field. They have the opportunity to learn about marine life and the history of Florida's gulf coast.
The summer months can get up to almost 100 degrees, often brutally hot even for the natives. Air conditioning does not always help in that weather. The spring has a bit too much rain. But October is the month that it has really cooled down, yet the weather is still beach-worthy.
Once you get to Sarasota, you would be wise to rent a car or a private car. You might also consider using services such as Uber or Lyft. Alternatively, if you need it, it has a bus and train system.

CollapseBy Yevgeniya Traps
The opening lines of "From a Great Mind," a song by the Siberian folk-punk singer Yanka Dyagileva, run something like this when translated from Russian:
From a great mind, only madness and jail,
From a reckless head, only ditches and barriers,
From a beautiful soul, only scabs and lice,
From universal love, only bloodied physiognomies.
A similar sentiment animates "Ostalgia," the recently opened exhibit at the New Museum in New York. The name for the show is taken from the German neologism ostalgie, a portmanteau of east and nostalgia meant to evoke a longing for life in East Germany, particularly its daily rituals and their trappings. But the show—and this is probably true of its namesake concept—is not really about a longing for communism. It is rather about the hunger for the kind of meaning that can only emerge from meaning's suppression. Repressive regimes raise the stakes: under them, art is not something artists are paid to create, but something that extorts a price—perhaps a terrible one—from the artist. Ostalgie is not for the totalitarian government but for the clarity that emerges from the knowledge that great minds risked the gulag, the madhouse, the blindfold, and the rifle with every act of artistic creation.

BarackObama.com wants you to share your gun violence story.
There are millions of these stories to tell… at least 262 million murdered by democide in the 20th Century alone. If you aren't familiar with the term, democide is "the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder."
There are as many ways to kill citizens as there are tyrants with imaginations, but all democides have one thing in common: for them to occur, the victims have to be disarmed first. A properly-armed citizenry cannot be overpowered, and democide has never occurred when the oppressed citizens had the arms to stop the slaughter. Democides have occurred from before written history, and they continue today. And yes, they've happened here and almost certainly will again if the citizenry disarms.
I've chosen two examples to send in to BarackObama.com.
The first is this April 16, 1946 photo of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Weimar, Germany. In the top left of the photo are American soldiers, mostly military police by the looks of them. They've dragged the citizens of Weimar who lived around the camp to look at some of the results of their handiwork. Like today's Democrats, they'd fallen for a pretty dictator who was elected to office on a web of lies, and turned a blind eye as he built his cadre of homeland security forces into his own private army. They engaged in willing self-deception as they gave away their freedoms to the state, never allowing themselves to see what was happening in plain sight in front of them. When Buchenwald was captured, These "innocent citizens" who claimed they have done no wrong were rounded up and forced to see first hand what they had done. No dictator rises alone.
They were responsible.
No one knows for sure the identities of the dead piled up on the cart like such much cordwood.
Almost certainly some were Jews and some where Jehovah's Witnesses. Some were POWs. Some were Poles or other "lesser" peoples. Freemasons, homosexuals, and other undesirables were among the 56,000 who were worked to death in Buchenwald.
The second submission I'm going to make is Larry Grathwohl's testimony about his time inside the Weather Underground.
The Weather Underground was a 1960s-early 1980s left-wing terrorist group. Among their leadership were Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. They hoped that once they'd successfully overthrown the American government, that they'd be able to "reeducate" most of the nation to adopt their radical leftist philosophy (which is the reason both Ayers and Dorhn and several other leaders of the group eventually became deeply involved in public education to this day). They figured, however, that no matter how hard they tried, that there would be bitter Americans clinging to their capitalism and their religion no matter how much indoctrination they were exposed to. These unfortunate souls—which they guesstimated would among to about 10% of the population—would be sent to "camps" where they would be exterminated.
These are the plans for massacring Americans that Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn never refuted or renounced. These are the plans made by the people that were Barack Obama's mentors, who worked with him, and who kicked off his political career in the socialist New Party.
These are the people who inspired the man determined to disarm Americans of the very arms most useful in resisting the sort of tyranny his mentors hope to impose upon us.
The earth is littered with the mass graves of those who disarmed "for public safety," and "for the children" with "common sense" laws and "reasonable restrictions."
Gun violence can be bad, of that there is no doubt. The violence that occurs when citizens no longer have the arms to counter a federal leviathan, however, is far, far worse.
Do not ever surrender your arms. When you surrender your arms, you are not longer a citizen with rights. You become a subject with wants, and the government will give and take from you as they see fit.
Arm yourself. Train to fight. Never fire the first shot, but if they want war, let it be with our generation, so our children breath free.

David Alfaro Siqueiros
David Alfaro Siqueiros
Mexican, 1896-1974
Head, ca. 1930
Oil on board
55.6 x 44.5 cm (21 7/8 x 17 1/2 inches)
Gift of Mrs. Conway Day to the Nancy Sayles Day Collection of Modern Latin American Art 67.125
Siqueiros, along with Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, is considered one of the three greatest twentieth-century Mexican artists. In a manifesto published in 1924, he proclaimed his support for working artists and set forth the ideals of the Mexican mural movement. Head was presumably painted about 1930 or 1931, when Siqueiros was prosecuted for Communist Party activities and held under house arrest in Taxco. The dramatically cropped composition conjures an ancient, helmeted warrior with dark eyes and high cheekbones. Its monumental presence springs from volumetric forms rendered with rough brushstrokes and limited color on a coarse surface. Siqueiros's intention may have been to create an iconic representation of proletarian Mexican strength.

Master of Education in Elementary Education and Master of Education in Early Childhood Education
Master of Education in Elementary Education
Master of Education in Early Childhood Education
Become the Answer to a Better Way to Learn.
American schools are facing enormous challenges. With an increasingly complex society and rapid technology-driven change, schools are being asked to educate a remarkably diverse student population while adhering to ever more rigorous academic standards.
On the frontlines of this cultural revolution are today's early childhood and elementary teachers, who must enter the classroom armed with a unique blend of professional skills – a deep understanding of subject matter, the ability to integrate technologies that enable students to explore new ideas, and the competence to collaborate with parents, colleagues and other professionals.
If you are a teacher who is committed to shaping a more powerful, positive learning experience for your students, Bridgewater State University can help you develop and enhance the skills you need through the Master of Education in Elementary Education and Master of Education in Early Childhood Education programs.
At Bridgewater State University, our mission is to prepare competent, caring teachers who foster student learning. We believe that effective educators create environments where students construct knowledge from experience.
Master of Education in Elementary Education
Designed for practicing elementary school teachers, the Master of Education (MEd) in Elementary Education program prepares participants to address the changing needs of students by modeling best practices based on current research and theories. Stressing disciplined inquiry and reflective thinking, the program focuses on deepening knowledge bases, enhancing teaching skills and enriching professional dispositions.
As a participant of the program, you will learn to:
- Create and implement effective teaching plans for diverse student populations by developing a greater understanding of students and their communities
- Use disciplined inquiry through action research to improve instructional practice
- Enhance the structure of curriculum content and pedagogy through an advanced knowledge of subject matter
- Identify and integrate appropriate technology into classroom instruction, management practices and student evaluations
- Design and evaluate curricula with regard to national standards and Massachusetts frameworks for a standards-based classroom
The MEd in Elementary Education program offers three degree options:
- Professional Licensure – for teachers holding initial licensure in elementary education (grades 1-6) and seeking professional licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
- Non-Licensure – for elementary school teachers who already hold a standard level or professional license and are interested in enhancing their professional skills.
- Initial Licensure - for individuals interested in becoming a licensed elementary classroom teacher.
Master of Education in Early Childhood Education
The Master in Education (MEd) in Early Childhood Education program prepares early childhood teachers for leadership roles in the field. Embracing professional dispositions, values and ethics, the program focuses on enriching the skills of practitioners who value life-long learning, technological competency, collaboration, diversity and social advocacy. Coursework includes the study of how children learn, with respect to cultural diversity, learning styles and language, as well as approaches to instruction and student assessment.
The program emphasizes the:
- Critical role of research in developing a strong knowledge of theory and practice
- Development of meaningful curricula that incorporate effective teaching approaches and promote comprehensive developmental and learning outcomes
- Importance of collaboration with colleagues, parents and community members
- Responsibility of teachers to continually evaluate teaching practices, analyze learning environments and incorporate the best research-based practices
The MEd in Early Childhood Education program offers two degree options:
- Professional Licensure – for teachers holding initial licensure in early childhood education (grades PreK-2) and seeking professional licensure in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
- Non-Licensure – for early childhood teachers who already hold a standard level or professional license and are interested in enhancing their professional skills.
Note: for individuals interested in becoming a licensed early childhood teacher, Bridgewater State University offers a postbaccalaureate program.
Program Highlights
Both the MEd in Elementary Education and MEd in Early Childhood Education programs offer:
- Diverse faculty with extensive teaching experience and ongoing participation in research, scholarly publication and professional organizations
- Accommodating schedules, including Saturday courses during the academic year and two-week intensive courses during the summer
- Prepractica and practica opportunities, enabling close collaboration with students from other programs within the College of Education and Allied Studies
- Small classes facilitating a more personalized learning experience
- Benefits of a state institution that has been training teachers for more than 170 years
- Affordable tuition, whether you live in state or out or out
Bridgewater State University's MEd in Elementary Education and MEd in Early Childhood Education programs meet the appropriate master's degree requirement set forth in the most recent Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education licensure regulations.

By looks of the 2013 Big West teams, the parity that marked the 2012 women's basketball regular season wasn't a one-time thing.
Five teams were separated by two games in the third-to-seventh spots in the league last season, and Long Beach State went from the No. 7 seed to the tournament title game with upsets of the first two seeds.
Jody Wynn said the '13 campaign will be even tighter.
"There's more parity in the Big West than ever," the 49ers head coach said.
The 49ers host Cal Poly on Thursday and UC Santa Barbara on Saturday.
"On any given game, any team is capable of winning. It's going to be a real dogfight. There have been some games in the past where you said if you played well you would win. That's not the case anymore. Teams will have to compete every night."
Wynn, the former USC star in her fourth season, has the 49ers (7-5) over .500 coming into league play for the first time since the 2005-06 season.
She said the talent level has spread out in college basketball and especially in the Big West.
"There are some very good players in the conference," she said. "Every school has a quality coach. You can look at the teams the conference has played this year (in pre-league games) and see the improvement."
For example, the Pac-12 has won 12 of 20 games against Big West teams, but toss out four losses to Stanford, which was ranked No. 1 for much of the season, and the Big West and Pac-12 are 8-8.
That includes Cal State Northridge's upset of UCLA (9-2), wins by Long Beach and UC Santa Barbara versus Washington (8-3), UC Davis' upset of USC, and Long Beach over Arizona (8-3).
"I don't think the Big West will warrant being a 16 seed (in the NCAA Tournament) like it has the last four years," she said. "We've really all stepped it up."
The key for teams looking to the conference tourney is seeding: The first two teams get a bye into the semifinals, and the third- and fourth-place teams get a bye into the quarterfinals. Teams seeded 5-to-8 will need to win four games in five days.
A look at the Big West, in order that the 49ers will meet the teams the first time through the schedule (stats are points/rebounds unless noted):
Cal Poly (6-5), Thursday: Kayla Griffin (9.6/6.8) is the ringleader on a deep team that has wins over San Diego, Loyola Marymount and Oregon State and two losses to ranked teams.
UCSB (4-8), Saturday: Sweets Underwood (11.5/9.0) and Nicole Nesbit (9.3) are the Gauchos' top threats. The record is poor but they've played a tough schedule against BCS foes.
Cal State Northridge (6-5), Jan. 9: The Matadors, picked to win the Big West, have a signature win over UCLA, their first win against a Pac-12 team since 1996 and first win over a ranked opponent. Ashley Guay (14.8, 4.5 assists, 2.8 steals) is the leader and gets scoring help from Marta Masoni (14.7/4.0) and Janae Sharp (9.6).
Hawaii (4-6), Jan. 13: The Wahines have guard issues but also one of the best overall players in Kamilah Martin (15.8/9.9).
UC Riverside (7-4), Jan. 17: The Highlanders are a surprise team, with wins over Pepperdine, Washington State and UNLV. Tre'Shonti Nottingham leads the league in scoring (21.4/5.0).
Cal State Fullerton (4-8), Jan. 19: The Titans have some size but lack scoring beyond Chante Miles (13.5).
UC Irvine (4-8), Jan. 26: Camilla Buckley (9.9/6.9) is carrying the weight for a team with a scoring margin of minus-10 on the season.
UC Davis (5-6), Jan. 31: The Aggies upset USC in December but have had issues on the boards. Sydnee Fipps is averaging 18.7 points a game.
Pacific (10-2), Feb. 2: Kendall Rodriguez (10.7/5.0) and Erika McKenzie (9.3, 3.7 assists) earned all-league honors last season.

Nearly two dozen Mount Saint Mary College nursing students,

traveled to the Dominican Republic last month on a humanitarian
With faculty members Dianne Murphy and Ann Corcoran, they served
in the poorest communities -- the bateyes, or shantytowns – as
volunteers with the not-for-profit Foundation for Peace, dedicated

Last spring, professor Murphy, along with members of Sigma Theta

This year's Mount group aided some 500 people each day during
the week of their journey.
Patients were treated or referred for skin infections, dental
problems and fungal infections. They often asked for vitamins and

"A family came in asking for vitamins, but neglected to ask for
help for their little boy's foot," explained Jessica Matuszewski, a
Mount senior from Goshen, NY, who noticed a bad burn on the child's
ankle and summoned the doctor.
Matuszewski got to assist in the procedure to debride the skin,
which according to Murphy is a painful surgical process, during
which dead or contaminated tissue and foreign matter is removed
from a wound. Debriding is so painful it is usually completed with
"We were only able to give this little boy two children's
Tylenol and a lollipop," said Murphy, noting the lack of health
care services available in the shantytowns.
Murphy hopes to expand the program next year to include

and psychology.
