The Pilgrim's Progress, written by John Bunyan over 300 years ago, is one of the most widely-circulated books ever to be published in the English language. In spite of its popularity in the past, many people today are not familiar with this masterpiece. Join respected pastor and theologian Dr. Derek Thomas as he takes listeners along this allegorical journey, showing that Christians have as much to gain from this book today as they did hundreds of years ago.

A game theory model for currency markets stabilization
The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology to stabilize the currency markets by adopting Game Theory. Our idea is to save the Euro from the speculative attacks (due the crisis of the Euro-area States), and this goal is reached by the introduction, by the normative authority, of a financial transactions tax. Specifically, we focus on two economic operators: a real economic subject (as for example the Ferrari S.p.A., our first player), and a financial institute of investment (the Unicredit Bank, our second player). The unique solution which allows both players to win something, and therefore the only one collectively desirable, is represented by an agreement between the two subjects. So the Ferrari artificially causes an inconsistency between currency spot and futures markets, and the Unicredit takes the opportunity to win the maximum possible collective sum, which later will be divided with the Ferrari by contract.

About the Book
David Lorenz Winston has an uncanny ability to enter the world of children. His images are a poignant reminder of our own childhoods, mingled with anxious moments and exuberant play, memories too often forgotten or suppressed as we grow into adulthood. David's work reveals a deep respect for children and an unusual capacity to set foot in their terrain. At times his presence goes unnoticed. At other times its decisive in gently prodding a candid response. In both instances his work reveals the spirit of children in direct and unexpected ways.

By Brad Cain, Associated Press Writer
EUGENE, Ore. Scott Charlson became a firefighter to earn college money and become a sports journalist. At his memorial service Monday, six days after the 25-year-old died in a helicopter crash during a forest fire in Northern California, his best friend recalled his competitive streak.
Charlson and Tim Murphy were golfing once when Charlson, unhappy over two bad tee shots, threw his club, sending it into a pond. He ended up falling in while trying to retrieve it -- and Murphy fell in as he tried to help Charlson out.
Standing in the knee-deep water, the two looked at each and burst into laughter, Murphy said.
"He was a fierce competitor, but he always found humor in situations," Murphy said.
Nearly 300 people gathered at First Baptist Church in Eugene to remember the Southern Oregon University student, who died Aug. 5 along with six other firefighters, a pilot from Oregon and a U.S. Forest Service employee from California. The helicopter was ferrying 10 firefighters, two pilots and the Forest Service employee back to base camp.
Other services and other events are planned this week, including a tribute to all the victims planned Friday at the Jackson County fairgrounds in Oregon.
Charlson was remembered for his love of sports -- both as a player of hockey, lacrosse and other sports and as a budding sports journalist who was sports editor at the student paper two years ago at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. Charlson also wrote for the university's sports information service last year.
"He was a sports nut. But he loved writing about it as much as playing sports. It was his passion," said D.L. Richardson, chairman of the communications department at the university.
Andy Barrey, Charlson's trainer at Grayback Forestry Inc., described firefighting as "one big brotherhood." He said Charlson and the others died as heroes when their helicopter crashed and burned moments after taking off.
"They'd been out there in the field for three days and they were coming back in for a shower and a good meal" at the time of the crash, he said.
Meanwhile, the Grants Pass Daily Courier reported that the other helicopter pilot, William Coultas, 44, remained in critical condition Monday with burns over 35 percent of his body.
The other survivors of the crash, Michael Brown, 20, and Jonathan Frohreich, 18, were discharged Saturday. They suffered facial burns and broken bones.
The fourth survivor, Rick Schroeder, 42, suffered a cracked shoulder and vertebra, along with scratches, bruises and a badly cut lip. He was released Friday, the Daily Courier said.
Authorities finished collecting badly burned remains from the crash site Sunday. A coroner's office in Redding, Calif., is working to identify the bodies through DNA analysis and dental records, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Tom Kroll said.

to think childminders should play with their mindees?(132 Posts)
My dd went to a childmindwe briefly a few years ago when she was three years old. She used to come home telling me she'd watched tv all day. I approached the cm about this who said that wasn't true. Dds behaviour alternated between being hyperactive and lethargic which fitted in better with dds version of her day and I switched to a nursery where dd was much happier.
I was at toddler group with my other dd this morning and saw the cm there. She works with her sister and they sat chatting for the entire three hours, only stopping to put the baby's dummy back in if he made a noise. When they were leaving I saw that they had 8 children with them! All of whom had been ignored throughout the group despite a couple having been hitting others and one that cried in the corner for most of it. A mum came in to drop a little girl off and cm made a big fuss of her in front of mum. Within thirty seconds of her leaving the little girl was plonked down crying and cm returned to her conversation, vaguely telling her to go and play every five mins or so.
Aibu to think cm's should play with their mindees and to be cross at this shit treatment of little children whose parents are paying for 'mother-like loving care' and being told what wonderful days they've had?
Mindees are the children that are looked after by the childminder.
Hi, I know this is a really old thread but could you possible tell me what mindees means. I had some photos done of my son and the photographer put them on her fb page... Somebody has commented on it tagging someone saying isn't this one of your mindees? The person replied saying "no :/" I've tried asking them but no reply. Don't mean to sound like a crazy mum but it's bugging me and nothing comes up on google when I type it in. Any help would be amazing thanks!
I totally agree. Being with a childminder should be the same as being with your own mother . Just the same.
I don't see why a CM can't hang her washing out while children play in the garden . How many other jobs are there where your house trashed for 12 hours a day
And for as little as £4 per hour per child.
Childminders are expected to be teachers but without the training, the pay, the long holidays and the respect.
Plus adults shouldn't play with children all day long, or they will never develop an imagination, or learn to risk take. The world has gone crazy on my humble opinion.
No they really wouldn't. Everybody other than really very stupid people knows that there is good and bad in every job.
Of course you can, Iggi. There are, however, posters on this thread who appear on every similar thread solely to put the boot in.
There does needs to be flexibility and understanding. And I am so very very lucky that my parents understand I need to do things in the day.
I think they understand how tedious the job can be stuck in the house / trudging between toddlers/ school so don't mind me doing some day to day stuff. After all that's why many if them went back to work.
In some ways it is even more tedious as I don't have the freedom to dump them in a pram and bog off to Meadowhall like I did with my own!
Some like us to mimic daily life others prefer a nursery type childminder.
Each to their own.
I have never ever ignored my mindees at groups. I wouldn't do it.
Besides there's that many judgey pants people I wouldn't get away with it!
You can post about housework without being anti-childminder you know! I use a childminder. It is possible to discuss certain aspects of a job without meaning you hold the whole thing in disregard. It wouldn't have occurred to me that housework was an issue if others hadn't brought it up.
And no, I wouldn't do online banking etc when at work, unless on a break. I'm not paid for that. As cm don't get breaks in the same way, obviously there is a need for more flexibility in their day to make up for this.
It's interesting to compare this thread to the one about the mum at a toddler group who had an 18 month old who wanted to sit on the mum's lap as she wasn't confident enough to go off and play, so the mum decided to go cold turkey, by blanking her the entire 2.5 hours despite the baby getting extremely distressed to the point she was banging her head on the floor. The mum didn't give any appearance of being at the end of her tether, but most people replied to tell the OP off for being judgy. I'm not a CM, but it does seem that CMs are judged quite harshly in comparison.
Hi Body! <waves>
So glad she's recovering well. Are you on the move then?
The trouble is, Sock, that these threads throw up so many negative stories about people perceived as being childminders.
Some are not. They may be parents looking after each other's kids, they may be nannies, they may be illegal childminders.
Then you get the anti-childminder posters jumping at the chance to do a bit more mudslinging, hence the moans about us doing housework.
Then there's the naive "this is why I use a nursery because it's safer" comments.
If we were to ignore these comments instead of challenging them, people who don't know much about childminders would be left with the impression that we're the same.
Was she showing the text to the kid? Hard to see the danger to mindees if not. Think you might not like this person for a host of other more personal reasons!!
Well I never used a CM when my children were small but bet there are some brilliant ones out there.However I wonder what Ofsted would have thought of a former CM near me who took her mindees out daily for a walk with her dogs to a local beauty spot and after befriending my DH who was walking dogs,several, went out of her way daily to be there and 'bumping' into him at that sane time each day however filthy and foul the weather and during her working hours when they were in her care was sending him multiple texts that became sexually explicit.Dont imagine she put that in her risk assessment.Of course my DH was a plonker to encourage and reciprocate but that's another issue for a different thread.But have often wondered what her clients would have thought of her ' priorities' even if she was playing with them the rest of the day .Just a thought I have often had.
My children's care is split between two childminders who are best friends. The complicated arrangement goes back to when they were babies and one couldn't have them all the time so they worked out an arrangement between themselves to work for me. They are both wonderful and treat all the children in their care like their own. They do so many things I could not even begin to list them on here. My dc are 9 and 6 now and both obviously at school. However, they love the things they do before and after school and especially love INSET days when they get to go out for the day! I am a teacher at dd's school and the juniors ds goes to is next door so we often have the same INSET days. It is great for me to know that while I'm at work they are having a ball!
I have never ever questioned my choice of childminders and my dc have absolutely flourished in their care.
There are good nurseries and bad nurseries, good childminders and bad childminders - as in every job, as Sock says above. Pointless and misleading to generalise. (I went for nursery btw but think childminders do a tough job.)
For the posters a way back saying CMs shouldn't do housework during the day, I hope none of them while at work have ever done their online banking, made a personal phone call/email, bought something on Amazon, stopped for a chat with a colleague, or done any of the other things that grease the wheels of daily life without stopping them getting their overall aims for that day met.
If its wrong to have a thread about a childminder whose a bit crap, does that also apply to every single type of job?
if your a good childminder then you are obviously not the childminder being talked about.
Every single job has piss poor people doing them just as it has wonderful people doing them and everything in between.
There is nothing at all wrong with openly talking about bad ones, be cross at the ones you think are giving you a bad name not the people who talk about them.
I used to go to a playgroup and I couldn't tell which were child minders and which were parents. But you get good and bad in every profession!
hi tanith so missing the cm board. may need to start up again now dd is so much better.
hope you are doing good xx
I knew what you meant.
No they don't need all that stuff. Some CM make into a competition though and compete to be so absolutely blumming fantastic mini teachers. When all some parents want is a warm happy home and a cuddly CM to look after their little people.
I am looking after a little one, and the only reason she is with me is because one of her GP's has cancer. All her Mum wanted was for her to be looked after by a nice warm cuddly person. I offered to go through the EYFS/ planning side if things and she she put her hand up and 'no I don't care about all that, I just want you to look after her for me'
M, I agree . You should be paid more . Childminders are usually mums too and offer something special to a cared for child, by taking them into their home and including them in another family .
I know some great childminders. I think they are expected to offer a lot for very little money in return. My point was not to knock childminders at all. Apologies if it sounded like this .
I was pointing out how everyone seems to moan about the cost of child care.
Children don't need structured play all day long, observations and targets do they .
I'm caring and intelligent and a childminder (I am paid a pittance though.)
Did you mean your post to come across that way?
Loads of CM do topics drives me bloody mad, they think they're teachers! We've been told not to do topics and everything should be based around a child's interests. And things should've 80% child led.
My auntie was a CM 20 years ago, had one box of toys, the kids watched videos and slotted into Aunt F's routine and they all ended up going to uni! And were loved to bits.
We massively over think it these days. Guilt about working and not being able to be home for little Johnny?
As long as they are safe warm, stimulated, cuddled and loved its all they need. They are at school until 18!
ok well firstly I would say the point of taking the kids to the toddler group is for them to play with other children and when my Dsis studied childcare they were discouraged from playing with the children (because of influencing what they were doing rather than it being child led) instead they should be facilitating play opportunities which is *exactly what they are doing by taking them to a toddler group
Secondly the point of a cm is that the child is fitting in with the workings of a household not living in some weird pre-school bubble with topics and themes
Everyone is always banging on that childcare should be cheaper. If you want someone who is caring and intelligent to have your child then it needs to cost more. In my humble opinion if it's the cheapest it might not be the best.
A lady in our village told me she works 80 hours a week childminding, she starts early and finishes late sometimes working Saturdays too.
Well said LingDi . I'm pro childminders and think they deserve more credit.
Childcare gets bad press it's time it got more positive comments.
It really is hard reading on here how crap all childminders supposedly are...that anyone could do our job, that we have no right to do anything except hover constantly over all the children in our care. Oh and yet we still apparently charge too much.
Let me tell you that actually no, this isn't a job anyone can do. I've done loads of jobs in my time and childminding is far and away the hardest work. I put my heart and soul into it too, I work 50 hours day with no break and that's not counting the extra time I put in on planning, my childcare qualification and other CPD as well as paperwork etc. If I were shit believe me the parents would soon find out. The kids I look after are all verbal enough to tell their parents what they do with me, I'm in a small community and everyone would soon see if I were neglecting the kids at playgroups.
Consider this too, parents are actually complicit sometimes in the shit care of their kids. As I've said in another thread on here, I've had parents literally just drop their kids off to start with me without even a full conversation with me, let alone checking my qualifications and policies. They got lucky in that the care I offer is exceptional. It could have so easily been different. Maybe the parents of the kids you see with these supposedly crap childminders don't actually care enough to find quality childcare, they've gone with the cheapest, easiest option without bothering to check out properly what they're getting into. I find it hard to believe that people who are so visibly crap at childminding are managing to pull the wool over parent's eyes.
Our cm is wonderful. She has had dgc from being 6 months old so 7 years now. She and I have shared the care and I have been to her home. My dgc are school age now but cm does two pickups a week. The dgc tell me about country walks, baking cakes, bottle feeding lambs etc. when she is there to pick up her mindees run to her shouting her name. She once challenged the older ones to a garden water pistol fight with them against her. She lives on a farm and was a nanny before she married. Every child deserves a R** if Mum has to work.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 187868
Excel import support seems to be missing
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:29 EST
Description of problem:
Excel import support seems to be missing
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a valid excel file (which previously worked in Gnumeric for FC4)
2. Open it in Gnumeric
Actual results:
A box pops up with "Error" in the title bar, and "Unsupported file format."
in the text. The file does not open.
Expected results:
The spreadsheet should open.
Additional info:
I guess you have a corrupt excell file there and that gnumeric checks become
more strict, excell import is most definetly included and works for me:
[hans@shalem ~]$ gnumeric
Reading file:///home/hans/doc/Landerbahnmodellen.xls
Excel 95
No problems there. If you feel this really is a bug please report it upstream:
(gnumeric is at the end of the page)
If you report it upstream please add a comment here with the bug ID, then I can
track it and integrate any fixes into Fedora's gnumeric.
After looking at gnumeric more, under Tools -> Plugins all plugins
were unselected, although the "Activate new plugins by default"
is checked. Activating the "MS Excel (tm)" plugin makes it import
xls files properly. This is on a new install of FC5, with specific directories
from the previous install/home dir copied over.
Tested with a new user account on the machine. It had most plugins selected
as it should.

Transfer of ownership in case of sale of unascertained goods
No property in the goods is transferred to the buyer, unless the goods are ascertained and appropriated. Until the goods are ascertained, there is merely an agreement to sell. In this case, the property in goods is transferred to the buyer on the fulfillment of the following conditions:
Ascertainment of goods
The term 'ascertainment' may be defined as the process by which the goods to be delivered under the contract are identified and set apart. Generally it is a unilateral act of the seller to identify and set the goods apart. It may be noted that the ownership is not transferred merely by the ascertainment of the goods. After ascertaining the goods, these must also be appropriated to the contract.
Appropriation of goods
The term 'appropriation' may be defined as the process which involve the selection of goods with the intention of using them in performance of the contract and it happns with the mutual consent of the seller as well as the buyer. It is a bilateral act of the seller and the buyer to identify and set the goods apart. It is always done with the mutual consent of both, the seller and the buyer. In other word appropriation can be done by the seller with the consent of the buyer or by the buyer with the consent of the seller. Appropriation must be unconditional i.e. without any condition. If there are some conditions attached to appropriation, then the buyer becomes the owner when these conditions are fulfilled.
Note: Once the goods are appropriated with the mutual consent of the parties, they become the property of the buyer if they have not been delivered and are in the custody of the seller as a bailee then any loss will be suffered by the buyer as he becomes the owner of the goods.

By David Colton, USA TODAY
The hit NBC series Heroes is full of characters that could be torn from the pages of a graphic novel. The odd thing is, except for artwork on the show and a series of online adaptations, there has never been a Heroes graphic novel.
That changes this fall, when DC Comics offers a hardcover collection based on a series of 43 comic-book vignettes that appeared on the Heroes website last season.
The book, which will be the first time the stories have been available in printed form, will be announced today by Universal Studios and DC Comics at the International Comic-Con in San Diego.
In addition to the online strip by artists including Michael Turner, Marcus To, Mitch Gunnell and Phil Jimenez, the book will feature new covers by comic-book superstars Alex Ross and Jim Lee.
For true comics fans, there's also art by Batman and Superman artist Tim Sale, whose prophetic and apocalyptic paintings are used as story devices for many of the show's cliffhangers.
"It works best when the painting on the show looks creepily like the scene you've just seen," says Sale, who has provided more than 50 paintings for the series.
Sale says he provided illustrations early on to help the series' creator sell the show to NBC. "Tim Kring is not a comic-book guy," Sale says. "For all I know, he has never read one. But he has surrounded himself with a number of people who are immersed in it."
Kring, in a statement, called the DC book "a dream come true."

Citation Edit
Petroliam Nasional Berhad v. GoDaddy.com, Inc., 2012 WL 10532 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 3, 2012) (full-text).
Factual Background Edit
Plaintiff maintains websites at www.petronas.com.my and www.petronastwintowers.com.my, as well as various other sites that incorporate the "Petronas" mark. Plaintiff alleged that two domain names — www.petronastower.net and www.petronastowers.net — were used to violate its trademark rights by cybersquatting and forwarding traffic to pornography sites.
The parties first encountered one another in 2009 when Plaintiff learned of the allegedly infringing domains. Plaintiff immediately sent notice to GoDaddy and demanded that GoDaddy cease its "direct and contributory infringement" of the Petronas mark. GoDaddy responded by stating that it would not tolerate illegal content on its customers' websites and that it would cooperate with law enforcement to get any such websites taken down. GoDaddy further informed Petronas that any disputes over ownership or wording of the domain name itself would need to be settled through an arbitration forum such as WIPO or the local court system, per ICANN regulations. As an ICANN-accredited registrar, GoDaddy is required to implement and follow the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) for disputes concerning domain names. That policy requires registrars, other than in exceptional circumstances, to maintain the status quo during a domain name dispute until receipt of directions from the registrant, and order from a court or arbitral tribunal, or the decision of an administrative panel.
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
Plaintiff brought this action against Go Daddy for cybersquatting and contributory cybersquatting on the basis that the non-party registrant used GoDaddy's automated systems to point the domain names at issue to pornography. Finding that GoDaddy's routing server did not "use" the subject domains, the court granted GoDaddy's motion for summary judgment as to Plaintiff's claims for direct and contributory infringement.
Subsequent to filing this action, Plaintiff filed in rem actions against www.Petronastower.net and www.Petronastowers.net, and the court granted Plaintiff's motions to transfer ownership of the domain names.
Direct cybersquatting Edit
"Cybersquatting" is the bad faith registration of a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to another's distinctive mark. 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d)(1)(A). The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) establishes civil liability for "cyberpiracy" where a plaintiff proves that (1) the defendant registered, trafficked in, or used a domain name; (2) the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a protected mark owned by the plaintiff; and (3) the defendant acted "with bad faith intent to profit from that mark." GoDaddy argued that there was insufficient evidence for a jury to find for Plaintiff on elements 1 or 3, largely due to the argument that the automatic routing was not a "use" and that GoDaddy was a passive participant in the events at issue with none of the requisite intent.
In support of its motion for summary judgment, GoDaddy argued that its conduct is not the type of "use" that is covered by the ACPA, as GoDaddy neither created the websites to which the disputed domains pertain, nor placed any content on such website, nor ever had any association with such website. GoDaddy's involvement was strictly limited to providing the infrastructure for the registrant to route the disputed domains automatically to a website of his own choosing. BecauseGo Daddy merely provided an automated service, there was no intent of any kind of its part, and certainly no intent to infringe the Patronas mark.
GoDaddy further argued that there was no bad faith in refusing to remove the dispute domains or disable the routing as it was acting in accordance with its standard operating procedures as well as the UDRP. As stated in the ACPA, "[t]he bad faith required to support a cybersquatting claim is not general bad faith, but a 'bad faith intent to profit from the mark.'"[1]
Ultimately, the court affirmed that only the domain registrant or the registrant's authorized licensee can "use" a domain for purposes of the ACPA. Absent a showing that there was some type of "license" granted by the registrant to GoDaddy, GoDaddy's conduct in providing a system that allows an automatic forwarding of domains is not the type of use contemplated by the ACPA.
Contributory cybersquatting Edit
The parties initially disagreed as to whether "contributory cybersquatting" is a valid claim. The court held that because the ACPA was enacted against the settled common law theories of contributory liability in the trademark context, a judicially-created claim of contributory cybersquatting would be valid. In the Ninth Circuit, a party is liable for contributory trademark infringement when he has knowledge of another's infringement, and either materially contributes to or induces that infringement.[2]
In addition, the existence of direct infringement is a necessary element of a claim for contributory infringement.[3] Because there was no evidence of any contribution or inducement of infringement on the part of GoDaddy, and because GoDaddy's only involvement was a passive forwarding service, the court granted GoDaddy's motion for summary judgment on the issue of contributory cybersquatting as well.

On Working Hard
The Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics and the Humanities is a residential school for gifted high school juniors and seniors. It is located on the campus of Ball State University and enrolls approximately 300 students. It's one of about a dozen similar public schools around the country (though it's one of only a very few that also emphasize the humanities. Most specialize in math and science, because these are seen as "hard" subjects that you can be gifted in. I am continually amazed how few people think the humanities are actually difficult -- done right they are!)
Anyway, my husband and I were talking recently about whether we would ever consider such an option for our son, Jasper. My husband actually lived at home for part of college, so the idea of having a child leave even earlier, at 15 or 16, seems foreign. Plus, he reminded me, my "normal" high school in South Bend produced a number of successful people in the grade above me, and mine. He's met one woman who got her chemistry PhD at Stanford, one who is getting a PhD at Harvard, has heard of a guy in my class who is now a doctor, etc. All of which is true.
But the occasional bright student does not change the culture of a school. The most fundamental difference for me between South Bend Clay High School, and the Indiana Academy, is that the Indiana Academy had way higher expectations. It taught me to work hard for something -- to throw myself into it -- when success was not guaranteed. This intellectual risk-taking is almost completely absent from the American educational experience for bright children today, and that is a shame.
I've been thinking about that lately, because I am deeply involved right now in an almost fantastically hard task. I have recently taken on a book project (another collaboration) that must be written in its entirety in about 5 weeks. So I'm cranking out about 2,000 publishable words per day, in addition to my other writing projects.
But here's the thing -- it has never occurred to me that it might be "too much." And, indeed, the darn thing is pretty much done a week early. I have a lot of confidence in my ability to throw myself into something and make it happen for a simple reason: that's what I did at the Indiana Academy.
My first semester junior year, I floundered around a bit. I didn't know how to work -- how to set goals and execute against them. But I figured it out. My senior year, I felt that to get into a good college as a not terribly well "hooked" kid from Indiana, I really needed to stand out. So I decided to get straight A's while taking our AP chemistry and AP biology classes simultaneously, plus multi-variable calculus and various humanities class, writing long features for our school newspaper, applying to 7 colleges that all had their own application forms, etc. I really didn't sleep much. I was in the lab a lot, and drawing on every bit of math ability I had to figure out my chemistry equations and the like. But it all wound up working out. I got 5s on all my AP tests, got my A's, got into every college I applied to, won several writing contests. And as these things started happening, my view of myself started to change, too. I had the ability to figure out a situation and make things happen. This does remarkable things for your confidence.
At Clay I never had to work. Really. It's not just that I was the top student in my class, because I often was at the Indiana Academy, too. It's just that what was required to be the top student was more. In theory, all of us could have failed a test (and, indeed, on some of our AP chemistry tests, the top score in the class would be in the 70's; the class median was a B, and to get an A you had to be more than a standard deviation above the mean). That would never have happened at Clay. The tests and mastery level required was set so that someone was inevitably getting a 100. If that someone was inevitably you, then you didn't have to work hard. Simple as that.
We do no favors to bright kids by making things easy for them. The Indiana Academy didn't make things easy -- and that was its biggest gift to me. I'll write more on this subject later, because there are many things that happened at the Indiana Academy to make a good academic environment, but that was the big one.

The problem with this view of the academy is that lots of us were not anywhere near as successful as you there. And it's not as simple as saying well, those people couldn't handle the academics, they shouldn't have been there. I know lots of people who did pretty damn well at the academy, but didn't get accepted to any of those goddamn fancy schools, including myself. And I know a lot of people who did well but ended up completely worn out, sick of school and study and determined to party as much as possible in college to make up for lost time. I still think the academy was a special environment, and one that did a lot of good things for people, but its not all good. Far from it.

Congrats on finishing the book-and a week early, no less.
I touched on this issue yesterday at MOMformation (http://tinyurl.com/65ooon
) and it's a topic that I hope to write revisit in he coming weeks. I look forward to reading about your thoughts on hard work.
- LaRita said...
I was the one who asked you to post more about your experiences there, and as the parent of a new Academy junior this year, I think you for reassuring me that he is in the right place. I look forward to hearing about more of your observations and experiences.
And now, a different request. All 3 of our kids are very intelligent. While our son at the Academy is the one who seems the most highly gifted, our daughter looks like she may not be far behind him. Being a girl and far more social, her abilities manifest themselves differently than our son's so it's really hard to tell at this point what her abilities truly are.
We are now struggling with a junior high school that has gone from ability-divided classes in math and science, back to the general mixed-ability classes. I've spoken to some other parents who have seen a real drop in the quality of math classes as well. I really question whether this sort of class structure can adequately meet the needs of either the gifted OR the struggling students, but I don't know how to present my case to the principal.
I believe that you've raised this topic in the past, but I'd appreciate hearing about research or even case histories that might help us stress to him the benefits of ability-based class divisions, and the drawbacks of NOT having classes divided by ability at a middle-school level.
It may not be politically correct to label the students' abilities, but political correctness is not always the best for the the students. Grouping by ability doesn't necessarily make them feel less intelligent - it may instead provide a setting that is more at the speed and level that helps them learn to their potential.

That well-developed physique and blue eyes are a turn on, but his presence is what really grabs you. He looks dominant - although not so much in a BD way as just a confident man who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. I'd say Jake is the kind of guy a lot of us would like to say "Yes, Daddy" to ;)

Really nice .
The way you describe her it's a very fitting artwork. The amount of details is amazing - but then again, that's your usual awesomeness.
Lol, thansk you She is a very awesome character - you should play the game if you haven't already
I was tempted to check out the game when I read all those positive reviews but when I saw a video of the battles I changed my mind. The amount of blood was simply too much for me to stomach.
I even looked for a mod that would tone that down a bit but I couldn't find one and the way it is I just cannot bring myself to play that game.

Absolutely amazing. Of the two, I think this one is actually my favorite. I adore her clothing design! ^^

Gotta love Morrigan!

You may wonder "What are these ACP videos everyone is talking about in Hawai'i lately?"
The short 'ACP videos' are intended to be a tool in conversations to help people understand the decisions they need to make when facing serious illness either for themselves or a loved one. ACP stands for Advance Care Planning. These award winning videos have been created by Dr. Angelo Volandes and his team you can read about it at acpdecisions.org.
Three to 12 minutes in length, each video focuses on a different topic, such as:
These videos are designed to be used by providers to help explain these often misunderstood concepts to their patients. These are meant to enhance and supplement one-on-one conversations with providers not replace them.
The videos have been field-tested and each topic underwent a rigorous review process by a committee of specialist in the subject and communication. (All the studies are collected on the acpdecisions website.) There are also translations of the General Goals of Care video into Ilocano, Tagalog, Japanese, and Mandarin. Hawaiian, Marshallese, Chuukese and Samoan translations are in the works.
To learn more about the "ACP videos", please visit the website acpdecisions.org.
HMSA has agreed to pay the licensing fees for the entire state for three years!!
We have a tremendous opportunity to use these videos where they are needed - hospice, hospitals, long term care, case management, doctor's offices, health clinics, faith communities. And they can be used for anyone, whether or not they have HMSA insurance. (Kaiser and Castle are also using the videos in their facilities.)
We welcome your feedback, suggestions and ideas. If you would like to learn more or get involved in using the ACP videos in your work, please contact us firstname.lastname@example.com
The article is available on-line (but you need to be a subscriber to get full access). Please contact us if you would like a PDF copy of the article.
Please read a recent Atlantic Monthly (April 2013) article on the videos entitled "How Not to Die - Angelo Volandes's low-tech, high-empathy plan to revolutionize end-of-life care". (As long as the archive is available)

Join as a member. There's a certificate with your name on it.
In a content type I created I have the following:
Metric which is a list whose values are : head,height and weight
units which is a list whose values are : CM and KG
I want the following :
Whenever the user selects head or height, the CM will be automatically selected and when the user selects weight, I want the KG to be selected.
I've tried to do it with the Conditional Fields module, but it doesn't work.
When I set it the units to be invisible, it works. I.E.: if the user selects head for example, then the units list vanish, but I can't make it work with the value.
How can this be done ?
I there a better way to do it with coding?

Adam Lambert isn't jumping on the bandwagon. The singer has some pretty harsh words to say after seeing the film "Les Miserables."
Lambert took to his Twitter account to speak his mind. He said, "Les Mis: Visually impressive with great Emotional performances. But the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers. It's an opera. Hollywood's movie musicals treat the singing as the last priority."
The "American Idol" alum went on to say, "I do think it was cool they were singing live, but with that cast, they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals. . . The singing was so distracting at times it pulled me out."
He then continued, "The industry will say 'these actors were so brave to attempt singing this score live,' but why not cast actors who could actually sound good? Sorry for being so harsh but it's so true!"
The one good thing he did have to say was that Anne Hathaway's performance was "breathtaking."
What do you think of Lambert's critique? Is he right on the money or just being negative?

Raspberry Pi Foundation gets hit by a DDoS attack
Attacked by a million node botnet
THE WEBSITE OF COMPUTER CHARITY the Raspberry Pi Foundation was hit by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack late on Tuesday evening.
The organisation announced the attack on Twitter:
We're being DDOS'd at the moment - very sorry if you can't see the website. If it goes on, we'll try to get some more capacity in tomorrow.— Raspberry Pi (@Raspberry_Pi) March 5, 2013
It also admitted that it was not the first attack on its network and said that the the attack was quite sophisticated.
For those interested, this one's quite hardcore: we're seeing a SYN flood from a botnet that seems to have about a million nodes.— Raspberry Pi (@Raspberry_Pi) March 5, 2013
This is the second attack in a couple of days. We haven't had the blackmail email yet. It's getting plonked when it arrives.— Raspberry Pi (@Raspberry_Pi) March 5, 2013
The INQUIRER contacted the Raspberry Pi Foundation for more information but had received no reply at the time of publication.
Jeremy Nicholls, Arbor Networks channel director for Europe, said that the attack showed that organisations should be aware of the threat of DDoS attacks and ensure that they have measures in place to protect against the risk.
"It's sad to see the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charity with a good cause at its heart, has been the focus of a vicious attack. This stunt goes to highlight the unfortunate fact that any organisation, of any size and nature, is vulnerable," he said.
"Every company that relies on internet availability to do business should be seeking to invest in prevention against DDoS attacks as well as implementing a mitigation strategy should the worst happen."
Raspberry Pi recently celebrated its one year anniversary as computer technology enthusiasts and schools have shown keen interest in the device. µ

 Hi Randy,

 There was a datasource used for fetching data that was causing incomplete export of services.After the data source was removed ,export was successful.

 Hi,

 I tried export with my TBSM 6.1.1 environment and after importing to another 6.1.1 system, I was able to see the autopopulation rules on the template and the ipl files were present in TBSM_HOME/policy. I suppose it is possible this was a problem in 6.1 that was fixed in the most recent release, but you would need to go through support to determine that.

 As another possibility, since the Impact policy code is stored directly in the radshell export script, there is some manipulation of the "end of line" marker for the policy source so that you can view the file more easily. I wonder if the tar or gzip could have affected this source. But I would think you should have some errors in the rad_radshell_errors.log file in TBSM_HOME/logs if it could not add the rules to the template. Is the rule present, and only the policies are missing?

 The export for a single instance should go through the same processing. The service hierarchy is exported along with all the templates required by the services. When you did the second test, did you also tar and gzip that export file?

 Perhaps you can attach the rad_radshell_errors.log in the failing scenario and I could have a look. It might also be helpful to look in the trace.log for the TBSMProfile and also the netcool-errors.log and netcool.log in TBSM_HOME/logs. The netcool logs would show if Impact had a problem creating the policies requested by TBSM.

 Hope this helps...

Carina's research focuses on the mechanism by which gas-phase ions evolve from charged nano-droplets for mass spectrometric detection. Using newly developed Time of Ionization Spectrometry of Charged Nano-droplets, she and members of the Jorabchi Lab is able to correlate the properties of the ions in solution to those in gas phase, enabling a new avenue for characterization of environmentally and biologically important processes such as non-covalent interactions of solutes and interfacial chemistry of nano-droplets. Additionally, she also is working on a collaborative project to identify and quantify halogenated compounds (specifically, environmental contaminants) using a method also developed by the Jorabchi lab group termed Plasma Assisted Reaction Chemical Ionization (PARCI). Mentor: Dr. Kaveh Jorabchi

Dr. Ellen Casper discusses Castro's statements in court.
Dr. Ellen Casper explains Stockholm Syndrome as it pertains to the three women surviving Castro
CLEVELAND - What was expected to be a simple apology to the women he kidnapped and abused turned into a rambling account from Ariel Castro of why he thinks he's not a monster.
"I did not prey on these women," he said prior to his sentencing. "I just acted on my sexual instincts because of my sex addiction."
Castro will spend the rest of his life in prison for kidnapping Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, and keeping them captive in his home for more than 10 years on Seymour Avenue in Cleveland.
Although Castro apologized to the three women in court, he claimed there was "harmony" in the house, that most of the sex was "consensual," and he even suggested that the video of Berry enjoying herself at a concert last weekend shows that the women were not abused.
"If that were true, do you think she'd be out there partying and having fun?"he asked. "I don't think so."
Ellen Casper, Ph.D., (
www.ellenfcasperphd.com)said Castro was simply having his "grandstand moment" to try to gain some sympathy and that he may have even tried to convince himself that his stories are true.
"These kinds of stories allow him to live with himself," she said. "My guess is that as they (the three survivors) continue to grow and be strong, that they will just see this as a last-ditch, 11th-hour effort on his part to gain some sympathy."
WEB EXTRA: Dr. Casper discusses Stockholm syndrome, which may have been one factor that helped the three women survive the past 10 years.
