Her just-signed costar? Terrifyingly stone-faced action star Jason Statham. AdvertisementThat's according to Variety. Statham (for those of you who didn't have a brother in high school in the mid-2000s) is famous for his work in franchises like Transporter and The Expendables and also his remarkably fine-shaped head. He has a remarkable ability to go an entire movie without cracking a single smile. Like, if he smiled on camera, it might literally cause his face to shatter. I'm confident he was born wearing Secret Service-style sunglasses. Presumably, he will play the straight man. AdvertisementVery much looking forward to Statham's attempts to maintain his absolute stoicism in the face of Melissa McCarthy's relentless slapstick. Melissa's slapstick will not be denied!

Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant Review: Seeking good, inexpensive food and a casual setting? Then head to Chili's, where crowds gather for hefty burgers and fries, old-fashioned milk shakes and margaritas, pita sandwiches and blazing fajitas. Of course, people also come for the chili. Served with or without beans in cups or bowls, this hearty mix may not win chili awards, but if you want something to ward off a winter's chill, then this will set you up just fine. You can also get the chili with chicken breast instead of beef, for a more heart-healthy dish. Desserts include chocolate chip paradise pie with coconut, a brownie sundae and a regular sundae. |

Hm. I think I posted a little bit of everything except The Origin and Lawful Magistrates.
Nah, let's post another new sample. Here's one of the complicated factions.
Captain Kamischa - Summoner of the Locusts
Attack Value: 4 (Sword)
Life Points: 5
Ability: Order on the Ship
- As long as there are no Champions on the Battlefield, add 1 to the Attack Value of Common Locusts Units you control.
Quartermaster Bilendronis - Champion of the Locusts
Attack Value: 4 (Sword)
Life Points: 6
Summon Cost: 8
Ability: The Cleaner
- As long as Quartermaster Bilendronis is on the Battlefield, other Units you control and hold in hand switch their maximum Life Point value and their Summon Cost.
Consider them a pirate faction, but they dislike water and the sky. So what do they descend on? Cities.

ForumsTips & TricksOutlook Client Securty Fix
Outlook Client Securty Fix
Author | Message |
keef |
If you are using my Outlook Synchronization application then you might have encountered the annoying Outlook security pop up that stops the automatic synchronization process from running.
I have been researching this issue and I have found a fix but it requires me to buy a commercial third party software library for US$200. I want to keep the synchronization client as a freeware utility, so I have created a Micro Pledge project to see if some of this money can be raised from the application users. If there is enough support then I'll buy the license and add this fix in. The Micro Pledge project is here: http://micropledge.com/projects/toodledosync-outlook-security-fix Keith For the technially inclined, this web site gives a good sumary of the Outlook security problem and the various fixes. I've chosen the Redemption approach as being the best suited to fix the problem. http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=52 |
keef |
Can I buy a vowel? Please ignore the typo in the topic title. Doh.
TonyB |
Thanks for all your work on this Keith. Given the asset that this sync tool is to Toodledo, have you thought about approaching them for the necessary funds?
keef |
Thanks for the suggestion Tony. I am reluctant to ask Toodledo for funds because I'm not even sure if there is any demand for the feature. Using micro pledge seemed to be a safe way to see what sort of demand was out there.
Also I guess it would be nice to keep the tool non-commercial for now. I only get a limited time each week to work on it and I'd feel a lot more pressure to get it 'finished' if I entered into any sort of commercial relationship with the site. Cheers Keith |
keef |
Woot. We have $15 dollars pledged to this fix so far. Thanks to whoever it was that agreed to chip in!
Roman |
no problem, you´re welcome. just keep up the excellent work! hope, some other folks might pledge as well! go on folks! i think, its for a good cause.

20 Sep 2007 :: Book Review - When the Force Isn't With You
Richard Neumann, the author of When the Force Isn't With You, warns us early on that the writing style employed to communicate his tale is loose and meandering. Don't let this put you off - it works well as the collected anecdotes weave their way across the decades since Star Wars, with the threads given commonality through a shared objective: the pursuit of a dream. This is not a book about Star Wars, George Lucas or ILM. It does, however, touch on all of these entities; on a recurring basis and in a way that Star Wars fans will easily relate to.
During the journey we are taken along to visit and find out the meaning of The Egg Company, past the facade of Kerner Optical Labs, and even to lunch at Skywalker Ranch. The author's goal on his labyrinthine journey? To secure employment somewhere in the Empire of Lucas. We follow the ups-and-downs of his career and life, repeatedly brushing tantalisingly close to Lucasfilm...but the receipt of rejection letters from various LFL human resource departments is a sustained theme. Will his sheer persistence (categorically distinguished from stalking!) win him the desired trophy? How will, to quote directly, "120,000 cows and one very persistent stone" play their role...?
The autobiographical adventure is punctuated with trivia from a multitude of fields. You'll find yourself accidentally learning about George Lucas's adroitness for architecture, the selling points of the Daimler SP250, the link between THX1138 and Gattaca, and history behind the digital watch. The resulting narrative flows with a cadence that carries the reader easily from event to event. The unpredictability of the succedent chapters and story elements calls the reader back, ensuring that their attention is held right to the very end.
When the Force Isn't With You is independently published - an achievement tied to the plot of the book itself. It lacks the bullet-proof editing one might see in the product of a global publishing company, but this adds to its charm, and conveys an honesty that further engages the reader. This is unlikely the sort of book I would have read if it hadn't been recommended to me. But, the short version of the review is that I was entertained from cover to cover - it has injected variety in to my library, and maybe added a little bit of motivation to my life. So I am passing on that recommendation - this book is for anyone who has ever had a dream. Enjoy Rich's memoirs, and in doing so, let them encourage you to do something about the pursuit of your dream, today.

Top of Santa Barbara Street to the Freeway updated: Mar 12, 2011, 9:30 AM
By Santa Barbara Urban Hikers Peter Hartmann and Stacey Wright
We urban hikers continue our quest of walking each and every street within the city limits of Santa Barbara - all 256 "centerline miles" of them to be exact. And so, with the thoroughness of a window washer, the inquisitiveness of a 5-year old, and the dedication of an Edhat staffer, we hit the streets and took a "specialty hike" that involved hiking down the up and up the down.
Specifically, we hiked down Santa Barbara Street from Constance Avenue to the freeway and then up Anacapa Street back to Constance Avenue. Today, we chronicle the first half of our thrilling trek.
We begin by making a little confession, and a couple of promises. The confession is that yes, we urban hikers are a teeny tiny bit partial to the Upper East/Downtown neighborhoods of our town. We've both spent a lot of time living in, working in and exploring in these areas, and we especially love the history, memories and lore of these parts of town. We've taken a bunch of photos and have done a little research into some of the places and things we saw along the way. In an effort to avoid overwhelming you, we have split our hike into two weeks worth of articles. Today we bring you "Down the Up, from the top of Santa Barbara Street to the Freeway". Next week we will tell you about our return trip up Anacapa Street. Lastly, the following week, we will dedicate our report to telling you about15 religious institutions that are clustered within an area of the Upper East/Downtown. Without further ado, we bring you Santa Barbara Street North of the 101.
# # # #
At the start of our urban hike we were surprised to actually find a little bit of wild life in the yard of an Upper East home.
As we got to the corner of SB and Pueblo Streets we looked down and noticed that the person who poured the cement must have suffered from dyslexia long before it was identified and treated...or maybe it's just that a B is easily inverted...we'll be sure to check all the streets with B's in them from now on.
The building that most recently has served as the Fielding Institute is a bit further down the street, and appears to once again be on the market. Designed by renowned architect Winsor Soule and built in 1921 for $44,000, the Mediterranean style house was owned and occupied by Walter & Caroline Hodges until they sold it to Leo and Frances Sanders in 1943. Leo, the owner/operator of Stearns' Wharf Company and his large family lived there for about 8 years, after which they sold the property to B'nai B'rith. The building served as a synagogue until 1969, when it was sold to the Church Universal & Triumphant, a new age church. We remember this era because the building was painted in some pretty far out colors...In 1983, the Fielding Institute bought the property, and thankfully, restored it to a color more reminiscent of days gone by.
At Mission Street, Santa Barbara Street becomes one-way, and stays that way until it gets to Haley Street. It's hard to believe that people go the wrong way on one-way streets as often as they do, especially when you realize how well-marked they are. We have a theory that tourists relying on their GPS's are responsible for an increase in the one-way mishaps, but this theory is not backed with empirical evidence. It's just an idea that we came up with during of our hikes about town.
The next landmark we encountered is the McCormick House, which is now owned and operated by the Museum of Art. As children, we both took art classes offered by the museum, but in those days they were held in the basement of the museum itself. These days, children - these urban hikers' included - take classes at this location. The McCormicks, he being heir to International Harvester (and the subject of the colorful T.C. Boyle novel, Riven Rock), and she being one of the original supporters of the suffragette movement, Planned Parenthood and "the pill", were quite interesting citizens back in the day... Since we were on foot and going "backwards", we took a photo of the back yard of this unique place.
The next little gem that we encounter is Alice Keck Park Park - the Edhat staffers just call it "Park Park". It was named for Alice Park, who donated the property to the City of SB in the 60's or 70's for the purpose of preserving it as a park. In days gone by, the El Mirasol Hotel occupied that corner, but a fire destroyed the place in the mid 60's. Luckily the two orange trees that graced the entrance of the hotel survived the fire and remain to this day. They are located opposite to Kid's World.
Alameda Park is so big that it sits on both sides of Santa Barbara Street. On the east side of the street families come to enjoy the playground at Kid's World and buy treats from the street vendors who are almost always around hawking their goods. Across the street is the area of the park that has the historic bandstand and is home to some of the finest revelry in town, come every June 21st or thereabouts.
The University Club sits at the corner of Santa Barbara and Sola Streets, and has been a private club since1923, when 11 men, graduates of 11 different universities, purchased what was called the old "Lacy House" or "Calkin's Castle". Photos of the original home show an ornate Victorian / Gothic looking mansion that frankly looks pretty darn scary. After purchasing the property, the good gentlemen of the University Club remodeled it into the Mediterranean manner that soon defined Santa Barbara's style. Good solid construction saved this building during the great Santa Barbara earthquake of 1925.
The club also survived the Great Depression, Prohibition and World War II, events that were responsible for the demise of many private clubs and organizations. During Prohibition, the legal use of liquor was available only through a medical prescription, a little like marijuana is today. So, the ingenious men of the club consulted with their member-doctors and coincidentally, there was an outbreak of sudden, acute illnesses that sprang up amongst the otherwise healthy members during that time. Luckily, there was always a member-doctor on hand for a prescription - and we all know it's important to follow doctor's orders. Although rumors of "bootlegging" here were whispered about town, none were ever proven.
World War II took a toll on the membership numbers, so the men who were not in the service installed a slot machine to help make ends meet. So successful was the gambling at the club that not only did the bills get paid, but also a surplus was amassed that would later fund a major redecoration. Several years later, after being informed that gaming equipment was illegal, it was removed.
After the war, the club was able to expand by buying adjacent properties and adding a tennis court and upstairs apartments that the members could rent. It wasn't unusual for a newly divorced member to move into the club to be around his pals and live the bachelor lifestyle once again.
From 1923 until the 1980's, the men maintained their private meeting place to eat hearty food, enjoy a drink or two, smoke, swear, discuss news of the day, shoot billiards and play cards. But that changed in the 80's, when women were admitted; the decor changed along with the times and today, women make up at least half of the club's membership.
The Magnolia Apartments are located further down Santa Barbara Street where a beautiful old magnolia tree shades a number of quaint rental apartments. We aren't certain of the history of this property, but rumor has it that a man first built a home for himself, and then, when his daughter got married, he built another home on the property for her and her husband. There was a third building added that was reportedly a kitchen which served both houses.
On the northwest corner of Santa Barbara and Victoria sits the original 1920's Automobile Club. We've always liked the detail of this window, which is one of the last remaining clues about its history.
We couldn't help ourselves...we just HAD to include Victor the Florist with its beautiful Mid-Century pink walls and it's lovely terrazzo floors.
Did you know that the SB County jail was located within the Courthouse at one point in time? Yep, it was. The Courthouse, built in 1929, is of course one of Santa Barbara's most magnificent buildings. We especially love it at night when it is lit up and essentially vacant. This hasn't always been the case; we understand that in the early days, the jail, with a total of 7 floors of cells, housed all of the County's prisoners. We wonder why, with chronic jail overcrowding these days, some of the folks being held out on Calle Real can't be transferred to this already existing facility, which could be modernized...maybe somebody knows something we don't know about this issue. Anyway, the old jail quarters are shown in this photo at the upper right corner of the picture.
Further down the street is a little building that once sat at the site of what is now the Paseo Nuevo Mall. When the mall was being developed in 1987, the business owners had the opportunity to buy the building for $1. They did, and moved it to its current location, across the street from the Courthouse.
The Presidio is undoubtedly one of Santa Barbara's most historic sites. In a couple of weeks, we will tell you quite a bit about the humble beginnings of our little town, and the role that the Presidio played in establishing Santa Barbara. As a significant site on our wrong-way adventure, we provide you with two shots of this quintessentially California adobe.
The buildings that are now Playa Azul and Ensemble Theatre have a long cultural history. Stacey has a certain level of nostalgia because she attended graduate school in what is now the restaurant, before Antioch moved into their more modern digs down the street. The Ensemble Theater was, back in the day, the Alhecama Theatre, and before that had been used in the 1920's and 30's when the Presidio Players produced plays in the Little Theatre. In 1937, the theater was renamed the Pueblo Playhouse.
In 1939, to prevent the theater from being razed, Alice Schott purchased the property, remodeled it, and named it Alhecama, for the four Schott daughters: Alice, Helen, Catherine and Mary. In 1945, she donated the property to the City Schools to be used as an adult education classroom and community theater. In 1981, through a series of trades, the site became part of the State Park system.
The Rochin Adobe is a modest little building that sits at 820 Santa Barbara Street. We include it in our report because it's said to be among the oldest buildings in the city, and can be traced to 1848. It is rumored that Sr. Rochin paid $30 for his land, and used adobe bricks from ruins of the old presidio to build a three-room house. In 1895, the adobe was covered in clapboard, mainly because many in the growing Yankee population preferred the look of wood to adobe. We believe the house sat empty from 1916 until 1924, when the owners, heirs of the Rochins, returned from Los Angeles and turned the home into a museum of sorts. In 1996, after the owner's death (at 101 years old), the adobe was sold to the Trust for Historic Preservation. We have always heard that this building housed one of the city's earliest brothels, but our research failed to substantiate this rumor.
Further down Santa Barbara Street is a plaque located on a boulder that can't be viewed during a drive-by. The plaque commemorates Anna Blake, who founded, on that site, the Santa Barbara Manual School, which became the State Teacher's College and eventually UCSB (these hikers' alma mater). The building now houses the Anacapa School...since it is located on Santa Barbara and not Anacapa, we wonder why it's not named, the Santa Barbara School.
Another commemorative plaque that one cannot read from a car is the one that sits at the Santa Barbara Historical Society, on the corner of Santa Barbara and De La Guerra Streets.
Lastly, our hike took us past the Covarrubias Adobe, which for a few months in the waning days of Mexican rule over California was the State Capitol. Gov. Pio Pico lived there (the house belonged to his sister, Conception Carrillo), and at that time, he decreed the house to be the official capitol of California. Gov. Pico was indeed a very interesting leader. He was reportedly a "black mestizo" who had extensive land holdings in Los Angeles, and was known for his hard partying. His reputation was based on stories that, never one to pass up a good party, he would ride as many as a couple of hundred miles just to attend a single fiesta. Today, the adobe is used for weddings and other social events.
The Upper East & Downtown are full of beauty, activity and history. And so as always, we encourage you to go out into the world, hike the streets of our town and above all, expect the unexpected.

I have long been sceptical of people claiming they had a food allergy. These days, it's all lactose-intolerant this and gluten-substitute that. Surely, I thought, the whole idea of food allergies and intolerance was just a "read-it-in-the-papers-so-I-must-have-it-too" scenario.
The figures certainly bear this out. One in five of us thinks we have a food allergy, but a 2008 survey by the Food Standards Agency found that only one in 70 UK adults has a genuine, or "classic" allergy to food – most commonly to peanuts and tree nuts (walnuts and hazelnuts), shellfish and fish, but also to cows' milk, eggs, soya and wheat.
A classic food allergy can be a serious business. A morsel of your allergy-producing food triggers the immune system, which mistakenly believes that food to be harmful and produces antibodies, which bind to "mast cells" in the eyes, nose, throat, lungs, gut, cardiovascular system and skin. At subsequent exposure to the same food these mast cells will release chemicals such as histamine, leading to swelling, itching and flushing in the skin; vomiting and diarrhoea; coughing, wheezing or a runny nose; swelling of the lips; and sore, red and itchy eyes.
These reactions happen within a few minutes of eating the food and, at worst, entail a severe, whole-body reaction called anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.
An intolerance, on the other hand, is far more common (around 10-15 per cent of Northern and Western Europeans have a dairy intolerance). Those affected have varying degrees of difficulty digesting certain foods. The most common culprits are lactose, a sugar found in dairy products and gluten, a protein found in cereals and grains.
But my scepticism took a knock when I researched a piece about dairy allergies in children and realised that many of the symptoms – eczema, acid reflux, rhinitis, bloating, gas and digestive problems – were ones I had been ignoring for more than a year. I had these symptoms daily, had never had them as a child, but was soldiering on. So, this summer, I found myself describing my symptoms to Dr Rita Mirakian, consultant in allergy and immunology at the London Allergy Clinic. She immediately thought an allergy was unlikely: "In adults, milk allergy does exist, but is not common. The majority of adults who react badly to dairy have an intolerance, because they lack an enzyme critical for the absorption of that particular food."
So if I was intolerant to dairy, I was probably just consuming too much. As a tea/coffee/cheese fanatic, I was at the thick end of the dairy-consumption scale. But what of late-onset allergies – do they happen? "Absolutely," said Dr Mirakian. "I have a 90-year-old woman who developed an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts at the age of 84." It's hard to say why an allergy, or indeed an intolerance, develops in later life, but it may be linked to infections, illness and lifestyle, which can weaken our digestive systems. Stress may also be a culprit, as may airborne pollution or the many chemicals to which we're exposed on a daily basis.
To eliminate any chance of an allergy, Dr Mirakian first took a medical and symptom history and then gave me one of the two gold-standard allergy tests: "skin-prick" tests for the common allergens (pictured, left). This is a key point, skin-prick and blood tests are the only clinically proven allergy tests. In the skin-prick test, a drop of common allergens – dust mite, cat, dog, allergy-producing fungi, milk, egg, wheat and oat – was placed on my forearm, then the skin pricked to allow the allergen to penetrate my skin. If the skin pricking triggered a red lump and itching, I would have been allergic, but there was none.
To check for an intolerance to dairy, I was put on a three-week "exclusion" diet, which involved removing every trace of dairy from my diet, then reintroducing them in a four-day "challenge" of a pint of milk a day. If the symptoms returned, an intolerance would be likely. So, did my symptoms subside? Not really. I was gassy and bloated. My acid reflux bubbled. I coughed and my eczema got worse. At least my nose stopped running.
The first thing I realised was how much dairy (and wheat) I consumed. The second was that dairy products are everywhere. Crisps! Olive oil spreads! Sausages! Non-dairy creamer! I used soya milk in my tea (passable) and cappuccino (disgusting).
I gazed longingly at shelves laden with brie, cheddar and parmesan in supermarkets. I ate pasta without grated cheese (dull) and eschewed my beloved pizza. All for nowt. Back in Dr Mirakian's office, she confirmed that allergies were definitely out and a serious dairy intolerance unlikely. Could it be wheat, then, I asked? "The only way to check is to eliminate wheat and put it back again – and if you found dairy hard to give up, wheat is far more difficult," she replied. "Instead, you should reduce the wheat and dairy in your diet, especially foods that ferment, like cheese, bread and alcohol."
I had hoped for a simple solution. I contacted Jos Swinger, a nutritionist. He picked up on the fact I had gone through recent periods of stress.
"The more stressed you are, the less likely you will be to digest sugars such as lactose, in dairy," he said. He stressed that, when reducing the amount of dairy or wheat in your diet, it's vital to replace one food with another. So cow's milk can be replaced with soya, oat, rice or almond milk; wheat products such as bread with starchy vegetables.
For a final opinion I turned to Lindsey McManus of Allergy UK. "It is very difficult to pinpoint intolerances," she said. "You may be intolerant, or you might just be a bit under the weather. Either way, it's often a good idea to cut back on wheat and dairy. Most people in the UK eat far too much of both. It's easy to eat toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and pasta for dinner – that's three wheat-based meals in a day. If we all varied our diets more and ate more healthily, many of these problems would sort themselves out."

Do you have an allergy?
A true or "classic" food allergy is estimated to affect one in 70 adults.
It's more likely to be food intolerance – 10-15 per cent of northern and Western Europeans have a dairy intolerance.
A true allergy involves an immune-mediated reaction to a particular food (various nuts, fish and shellfish).
An intolerance does not involve the immune system and is an inability to digest a particular food.
There are only two clinically-proven tests available: an IgE blood test and a skin-prick test.
The only clinically proven test for intolerance is exclusion or elimination, with the suspect food removed from your diet for a few weeks, then reintroduced.
Lactose intolerance occurs when your body can't digest the sugars in milk. It can result in eczema and digestive problems
Allergic reactions to nuts can vary from mild to very severe, and are sometimes life-threatening
Coeliac disease is a gut disorder caused by gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley), which damages the intestine. About one in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease
An allergy to fish may begin in childhood and is likely to be lifelong. People allergic to one type of fish or shellfish are often advised to avoid all kinds of seafood

Residents of McKinney Texas, half an hour north of Dallas, cool off every year with their annual Ice Cream Festival. The McKenny Ice Cream Crank-Off attracts visitors and travelers who come to check out new ice cream concoctions and flavors that the Crank-Off features. The festival allows amateur ice-cream makers to demonstrate their ice-cream making skills while the town of McKinney expresses true Texas hospitality.
Festival History
The Ice Cream Crank-Off of McKinney began in 1995 when Clyde Geer and his father-in-law, Killis Melton decided to inaugurate an ice-cream festival. They held it at Clydes-on-the-Square eatery for many years but the crank-off moved it to Chestnut Square Historic Village when Clydes closed. They envisioned it as a small get-together for the town's residents and, perhaps, some visitors, never dreaming that it would grow to the large and lively fair that it is today.
Henry's Homemade Ice Cream and the Chestnut Square Historic Village co-sponsor the festival. The highlight of the festival is the Crank-Off which gives homemade ice-cream makers the opportunity to place their unique ice-cream tastes and concoctions in competition. Visitors can walk around and taste different ice creams for a fee (as of 2011, tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for kids aged three to 12) and then cast their votes for the best ice-cream. Proceeds from the ticket sales go towards the McKinney Educational Foundation. The festival awards prizes for best overall flavor and the people's choice, in addition to a "You Made What?" award.
Crank-Off Entries
Contestants in the Crank-Off come to Chestnut Square by 9 a.m. on the morning of the festival. Each contestant brings their own ice-cream freezer and enough pre-mixed ingredients to make two gallons of their entry flavor ice-cream. The festival organizers furnish salt, powder and ice. Contestants make many interesting flavors of ice-cream including beer, chai, peach cobbler and Jalepe--o Blackberry Jelly.
Other Festival Activities
The festival is an all-day event. Visitors can go to the downtown McKinney Farmers Market in the morning. The Wilmeth schoolhouse has continuous children's activities running, including opportunities to make ice-cream, a magic show on the main stage, the mustang swing and amusement rides on the Green Space. Food and, of course, ice cream vendors sell delicious food and treats. From noon to 1:30 p.m. visitors walk around and taste the Crank-Off entries and vote for their favorite ice cream. At 1:45 p.m. the festival organizers announce the Crank-Off winners on the festival's main stage.

The Boeing E-6 Mercury is an American military aircraft. It operates as an airborne command post and communications center, relaying instructions from the National Command Authority. Its role in relaying to the fleet ballistic missile submarines gives it the suffix TACAMO ("Take Charge and Move Out").
Codenamed Looking Glass, it is USSTRATCOM's Airborne Command Post, designed to take over in case NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center is destroyed or incapable of communicating with strategic forces. The name Looking Glass is another name for mirror, used because it "mirrors" the abilities of Cheyenne Mountain to control nuclear forces.

Not "copy", it's basically a counterpart. Each region has it's regional Birds. I don't see any comparisons to be made with Druddigon and Salamence though, they are just Dragon types, both having very different designs and battle styles.
Also, each generation has had similar formats for the Pokemon, not only since Hoenn, it's changed a little since Hoenn but we've always had the starters, regional Rodent, regional Birds, perhaps more.

Has our right to control our own bodies been impeached when our quality of life is unaffected by an action? This is the basis of a progressive tax policy and whether this is shared or devoted to a single source such as the military and/or the operation of basic government is irrelevant...the basis of the policy is the same; it is still progressive.
My question to you is specifically with respect to our right to control our bodies vs. another's right to life. And yes, both of us both of us side with our right to control our own bodies but wouldn't religious etiquette and values lend itself towards the right to life? I submit that the answer is yes and herein lies the basic weakness when relying solely on religious values as our guide...they do not lead us to the correct set of values for a nation based on maximizing individual freedom.
The point you are missing is that eugenics is not the sole domain of progressiveness. There was nothing progressive in our breeding of slaves to achieve the most suitable workers for hard labor but they follow the exact premise you are applying. And there is nothing in progressiveness that predicates genetics over our right to control our own bodies. Our right to control our own bodies forms the basis of all freedom and no where does logic lead us to surrender that right based on genetic traits else progressive would have been against any freeing of the slaves and/or social equality. Yet this is not the case is it. It is not the progressive who stood nor now stands against social equality.
And one other point to make here: progressiveness is but a single trait of liberalism. The philosophy behind liberalism is rationalism and the basis of rationalism is logic. The beauty of logic is that it can always be questioned and it is because we can question that we can avoid the traps of the conservative irrationalist whose edict is not to question values handed to them by their gods.
And when we look at history it is when we cannot question that the weak fall victim to the strong...
If there is no purpose behind its placement then none...
Whether we are shocked at the supreme courts rulings is irrelevant...they are the rule of law and here the supreme court has ruled that where religious texts are held together as examples of secular law they are permissible and where they are placed individually they are banned. And this should not be a surprise since this is very much in line with our founding principles on religious freedom. What goes very much against our founding principles is the dominance of a single religious text or symbol over others..
And none of this has anything to do with me and millions like me. This is the point...other than as an example of secular law they are largely irrelevant to our Rule of Law. And where they do apply there is an equally strong argument that they are based on natural law derived from logic.
We have a divorce rate of 50% and climbing and with two parents working to earn a living, children today are just as likely to raise themselves as to be raised by their parents. This is the norm for most of us not the love, protection, guidance, and eventual reciprocation you express.

Green High School boys track team making strides
GREEN — According to head coach Paul Hane, this year's Green High School boys track team features a nice mix of youth and experience.
"We have 65 to 70 guys on the team and I think we have a pretty good balance between all four classes," the coach said. "Some of our best guys that came back this season are actually underclassmen, so even though they've been competitive, they still don't have the years."
Two notable seniors on this year's team, Hane said, are Keith Jarvis and Carson Corle.
"Keith is one of our throwers, and he actually broke our school record in the shot put earlier in the season. The record had been there since 1974, so that was quite a feat. Keith also does discus for us, because he might throw in college, and he ended up becoming one of our best discus throwers, too," the coach said. "Carson is our hurdler and he happens to be our best long-jumper, too. The hurdles are his forte, though. He was at the regional track meet last year in the 100 hurdles. He's quite a competitor and he's been running really well this year."
Hane said senior Ben Barry has proven to be a versatile athlete for the team.
"He's a pretty decent pole-vaulter and just a great young man," the coach said. "We also incorporated him into our 400 relay. He's our anchor on the 400 relay even though he hadn't done very many running events at all — just a token sprint here and there to stay in shape. But he's actually quite fast, so we put him on the relay and he loves it. He's done a nice job for us."
Other key seniors on the team include Blair Thompson and Kevin Guilmette.
"Blair is a sprinter and a middle distance guy for us. He does a lot of stuff — everything we ask for — and he's just had a very good season. He trained a lot before the season," the coach said. "Kevin's just like Blair. They basically run the same events and he's done a nice job for us. Kevin is kind of our vocal leader and he's done a really nice job of taking a leadership role this year. He'll run anything that we need him to run and he'll step up and do it well."
Green is 4-3 in dual meets in the Suburban League this season.
"We always have pretty high expectations. Our ultimate goal every year is to win the league," Hane said. "The unfortunate thing, and it's also a good thing, is that the Suburban League is very competitive in track. I mean, we have great teams, especially up at the top. We face some very good competition."
The entire team has "definitely" shown improvement as the season has progressed, the coach said.
"We like where we're headed," he said. "Our times are coming down and our distances and our heights are better. We have made great strides and I'm very pleased with what we have done and proud of the work ethic we have."
Hane said his athletes are in a great situation to try to meet some of their postseason goals.
"In the regular season, we try to win every meet we can. In the postseason, it's a little bit different," he said. "It's pretty tough to win those meets — whether it's the league meet or a district meet or so forth. In the league meet, we'll just try to score the most points that we can and always try to finish as high as we can in the standings. After that, in the district meet and the regional meet, we will just try to qualify guys and see if we can extend the season for any of our athletes. If we can continue to do that, hopefully we can get some individuals or relay teams to the state meet. That's our ultimate goal."

Gambling commission chairman says there's been no lobbying from elected officials
LAS VEGAS — In the seven months the Massachusetts gambling commission has been working, members have received "not one single phone call" from a lawmaker or elected official attempting to lobby or pressure the panel, the commission's chairman, Stephen Crosby, said Tuesday at a Las Vegas gambling industry conference.
Crosby said safeguards in the 2011 casino law intended to protect the board from outside pressures are working. "We are very insulated by way of legislation from political interference," he said.
Crosby spoke Tuesday on a panel at the Global Gaming Exposition at the Las Vegas Sands Convention Center, on the iconic Vegas Strip. The annual event is one of the largest conventions of the casino industry.
Projecting independence from political influence is critical for the five-member state commission, which is trying to promote competition among casino companies, especially in the Greater Boston region where Suffolk Downs in East Boston is currently the only applicant for a gambling license. The commission has run up against a persistent belief in the casino industry that Suffolk Downs, in partnership with Caesars Entertainment, has a lock on a casino license due to local political support and connections.
Crosby credited two aspects of the state casino law with shielding the panel from influence: As chairman, he was appointed to a seven-year term, which means his tenure could outlast the current gubernatorial administration and the next one. Also, the commission's operation is currently being financed with a $15 million state loan, freeing it from dependence on the Legislature for money. The loan will eventually be repaid from casino licensing fees, which will be at least $85 million for each casino resort license.

The Human Services Ministry has not reconvened the National Domestic Violence Policy Oversight Committee
Dear Editor
The cartoon in the Sunday Stabroek of March 30, highlights the inability of the government to fulfil its commitments to dealing with domestic violence. The interview with Ms Benn of the Women's Studies Unit of UG in the same edition of Stabroek News also speaks to the failure to have a co-ordinated national response.
Many NGOs and community organisations are doing their part in raising awareness at different levels. Many work to provide support services. There is a limit to that work since the government is responsible for ensuring that there are appropriate responses from the police and courts, the health system and the social services.
While training is necessary, it would be useless if there are no policies to ensure that those who are trained are actually doing what they should do to support persons who decide to get out of abusive relationships and to ensure that perpetrators can do no more harm.
We can only think of the young girl running to the police to ask them to come because her father was threatening to burn down the house and kill them, and the apparent lack of urgency on the part of the police to help her. The irony is that the police by now would have gone through the domestic violence training which is supposed to be part of the standard Guyana Police Force training.
The other issue is that some kinds of activities like training and seminars are easy-to-fund, one-off events, but the recurrent costs for accessible counsellors and support advocates is not easily available as any of the NGOs will report. The recurrent costs for monitoring to ensure that all persons are doing their jobs with the appropriate resources have to be provided.
The failure of the government, especially the Ministry of Human Services to ensure that the state is accountable is demonstrated by a listing on the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security website (http://www.mlhsss.gov.gy accessed March 31, 2014 and which has some current items). The website lists the National Domestic Violence Committee Policy Committee and the first member is "Hon Minister Priya Manichand [sic], MP – Minister of Human Services & Social Security." The current Minister of Human Services has not bothered to reconvene the National Domestic Violence Policy Oversight Committee or to provide a Domestic Violence Unit. The last policy which was launched in July 2008, and which was not implemented, expired in 2013.
The ministry might want to take refuge in 'writing another policy' as cover for not doing anything to actually ensure that the state agencies do what they are supposed to do. The Minister of Human Services and her colleagues must explain their reluctance to provide the co-ordinated response to domestic violence. The last National Domestic Violence policy provides an excellent framework from which to start.
Yours faithfully,
Vidyaratha Kissoon

Today, most newspapers in China feature the country's slowing CPI growth rate on the front page. CPI (Consumer Price Index) is the primary measure of inflation in China, and the fact that it is slowing suggests China's economy is in fact slowing down. The June CPI grew by only 2.2 % compared to the CPI for this period last year, which is the slowest rate China has seen in 29 months. The Chongqing Economic Times said this offers a perspective on China's economy as a whole and the fact that the central bank suddenly cut interest rates last weekend suggests the slowdown in economic growth may be more serious than the government expected.
Meanwhile the Oriental Guardian decided to take a different direction and dedicated their front page to a large photo of a Michelangelo's "David Apollo" statue (the less famous "David") with a television set over his penis, pixilating the image. The headline reads "You can see it in a museum, but not on TV." The article describes how last night the CCTV News Channel aired a television broadcast called "Beijing Century Celebration: Masterpieces of the Renaissance," in which they pixilated the penises of Michelangelo's masterpieces.
The broadcast was in honor of the China National Museum's 100-year anniversary, and the censorship of nudity immediately triggered controversy: one online commentator complained that pixilating the images showed a lack of respect for great works of art, while another argued that these statues from Ancient Greece and the European Renaissance reflect an aesthetic that is mainstream in the United States but not in China. This person believed it was wrong for a public channel to show nudity in the first place.
The reporter also spoke with the Producer of the CCTV program, who said he censored the private parts because he believed those images would have "a negative impact on the audience's emotions."
The article notes that by the time the paper was going to print, CCTV had removed the pixilation from future airings of the show. It did not offer any explanation for this change.

There are a few things you can do before you visit the doctor's office to prepare so you know what your benefits and costs are.
First off, you want to make sure you've paid your premiums on time so that your insurance takes effect. Just signing up is not enough. (See Pay Marketplace Insurance Premium on Time)
All health plans in the marketplace must provide a summary of their benefits and coverage, which you can review on Healthcare.gov, or talk to a representative by calling (800) 318-2596. You can also call your insurance company to get details on the plan you chose. TMA has a list of marketplace plan websites and phone numbers to help. (See sidebar: "Marketplace Plan Websites and Phone Numbers.")
If you're just now enrolling in a health plan through the marketplace, either online or by phone, make sure you write down the member ID number you receive. You'll need that number to check on your benefits when you call your insurance company. Or if you already received a member ID card, you can use that information when you call. (See What is my marketplace insurance id card for?) Your insurance company also should send you a welcome packet after you enroll. That should explain what type of plan you bought and what your benefits and costs are. (See What are deductibles, co-insurance, and co-payments?)
Lastly, some health plans also have special websites you can use to verify your coverage with your member ID.

Royle, Nick J. and Hartley, Ian R. and Parker, Geoff A. (2004) Parental investment and family dynamics : interactions between theory and empiriical tests. Population Ecology, 46 (3). pp. 231-241. ISSN 1438-3896
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The pattern of parental investment (PI) seen in nature is a product of the simultaneous resolution of conflicts of interest between the members of a family. How these conflicts are resolved depends upon the mating system, the genetic mechanism, on whether extra PI affects current or future offspring, and the behavioural mechanisms underlying supply and demand of PI. Until recently very little empirical work has been done to underpin these key determinants of conflict resolution. This review examines recent empirical progress in understanding both (1) how conflict is resolved and (2) its evolutionary consequences. How offspring demand interacts with parental supply of resources determines how conflict is resolved. Two extremes are: passive parental choice of competing offspring, relating to offspring control of resource allocation, and active parental choice relating to parental control. Although most previous empirical work has tended to conclude or assume that parents primarily control resource allocation decisions, recent studies explicitly examining predictions from theoretical analyses have shown that offspring control of resource allocation is more important than previously realised. The amount of PI supplied at resolution depends not on who controls food allocation, however, but on the nature of the supply and demand mechanisms. These have yet to be established experimentally, but a recent regression model illustrates how this could be achieved in the field. Determination of the effect of supply on demand (ESD) and the effect of demand on supply (EDS) mechanisms is critical to parent–offspring conflict theory, which has not been adequately tested empirically. There is an underlying, and until recently untested, assumption of models of intrafamilial conflict that there is genetic variation for both offspring demand and parental supply behaviours, so that the behaviours can coevolve. Recent studies on great tits, burrower bugs and mice all found evidence for genetic variation in supply and demand behaviours, but the predicted negative correlation between genes expressed in mothers and their offspring (i.e. parent–offspring coevolution), was found only for burrower bugs. The lack of a negative relationship for great tits and mice may have been a consequence of antagonistic coevolution between the sexes (sexual conflict). These studies illustrate the importance of the underlying genetics and mating system in determining conflict resolution, and point to the need for new models (especially of interbrood competition) taking differences in the genetics and the co-evolution of the ESD and EDS mechanisms into account. We also discuss the importance of the comparative approach in determining evolutionary consequences of conflicts, and use the recent work on growth costs of begging to illustrate the difficulties of measuring costs of conflict in an evolutionary currency. The recent growth in empirical work on conflicts in families illustrates an increasing, and increasingly productive, integration between theoreticians and empiricists.

Used soap from O.C. hotels cleans the poor
Teresa Banuelos felt bad about tossing used soap while cleaning rooms at Disney's Paradise Pier
Coming from a small town in Mexico, she thought about the families who couldn't afford soap.
These days, that soap doesn't go to waste – it's recycled and sent to poor countries.
The Disneyland Resort's three hotels and 33 other Orange County hotels and bed and breakfasts are part of Clean the World, which takes used soaps, sanitizes them and sends bars to 67 countries.
The Disneyland Resort was recently honored for recycling the most soap in the state – enough to donate 54,213 bars in 2012 alone.
"I'm very happy to collect the soaps in the rooms, because I know they are going to the kids and they'll be very happy," Banuelos said.
The push to recycle soap ignited five years ago. Shawn Seipler was trying to come up with an idea while at a Minnesota hotel: What happens to the soap?
Seipler rang the front desk and found out that they threw away the used bars. He and his business partner, Paul Till, called more hotels. Same thing.
The pair read studies about child mortality: 3.5 million children younger than 5 die each year because of acute respiratory illness and diarrheal disease. Studies show that the deaths could be reduced by up to 65 percent by hand-washing with bar soap.
In 2009, Seipler and Till left six-figure jobs to begin Clean the World in the garage of Seipler's cousin in Orlando, Fla.
The nonprofit's founders would sit on upside-down buckets, scrape soaps with potato peelers and butter knives, put them through a meat grinder and melt them in four Kenmore cookers that they bought for $59.99 apiece. Then, they would distribute them.
Clean the World charges 50 to 80 cents for each room in the participating hotel monthly, which includes training, bins and shipping.
The organization got a boost when "CBS News with Katie Couric" aired a story about the group's work in Haiti. Then, in 2010, the Haiti earthquake hit and the organization got more publicity.
"Walt Disney World (in Orlando) got on board," Seipler said. "It was the credibility we needed in the industry and a launching platform for us."
In the first three years, the organization distributed 12 million soap bars worldwide.
In 2011, Anaheim's Disney hotels signed on.
A Clean the World representative visited the hotels to tell the housekeepers what to do, and managers encouraged them to participate; they don't have to.
"It starts in the room," Seipler said at the recognition ceremony for Disney's housekeepers earlier this month.
Instead of dumping soap in the trash, Banuelos puts the bars in a plastic bag. At shift's end, the housekeeper wheels her cart with the bags to collection bins, placed on every three floors, and she separates the soap and bottles.
"I know how poor families can't afford these things," Banuelos said. "I think it's a good thing for the kids."
Apo Susa, a housekeeper lead, prepares the bins for shipping.
"Because we are working in the Happiest Place on Earth, we can make them happy," Susa said about the soap recipients. "It extends the goal in the world."

This little girl didn't want just any ballerina. She wanted a swan lake theme. So I did a green base to resemble a lake with a couple of water lilies and added two tiers with the ballerinas. I did feathers with edible wafer paper.

If you are an avid graphic design lover like myself, you know how crucial typography is to creating great design. I could consume good type for days, and as of late, I have been doing just that through some incredible apps. This week, I've decided to share some of this typographic wealth by rounding up a few of my favorite typography apps on My Life Scoop. Click here to read the full post and enjoy the graphic beauty with me! — Stephanie
The links don't seem to work :(
the link is broken. :(
I love getting info on new apps. Perfect timing with getting my iphone upgrade!
These are awesome. I'm going to be scooping up at least half of them today. Thanks for such a great list!
Very great suggestions. I know it's not an app, but if you are looking for an awesome typography forum with tons and tons of fonts for your blog designs, photos, scrapbook, invitations etc. check out the type.is/good forum. I think it is now invite only or by subscription I think, but it is a very great resource for scrapbookers and font lovers.
Thanks again for sharing these, my iphone will love you!
Some great apps here, I like The Font Game, but a couple of times it has crashed for me. Thanks for sharing these!! Another alternative is "Type Anatomy", that seems to be alright.

hmmm.....can't help but wonder where this is going to go now.
Looks like Zen fell back into the "following Medaka until he catches up with her" routine. So much for learning how to stick up for himself. Ten years and he still won't give it up. Marriage is about equality, an equal and willing partnership where husbands and wives share the decisions and sacrifices. And again, with Medaka it's all take and no give. That marriage is doomed until she figures it out |

The way I saw Zen progress was that he wasn't content simply being dragged around by medaka, he wanted to be doing his own thing or be his own man while being with medaka ( I like to think he wants to have his cake and eat it). Finally, your statement about the take all and no give is flawed because we don't know whether Medaka is the same person. So far evidence has shown she isn't the same person. At the start of the manga animals were afraid of her due to how over powering personality and now they are not, like to think that the author added that clearly unnecessary part for a reason, but I could be wrong. (also the fact that her skill has is not THE END, which kinda follows the theme of people losing their abnormal abilities). |

I kinda hate the fact that there is too many characters. They even made a point where every single one has a an appearance in the future. Furthermore it was Zen that rejected Medaka every time. And at the end he end up pursuing her again like nothing has changed over the course of over 190+ chapter. No character development. In the end everyone is self-centered.

Hahahaha, keep dreaming. Oh, and I see the hopeless folks who want to believe there was no character development in Zenkichi and the others over the course of this +190 chapters still insist with that bullshit. Never change dudes, you make the lecture of this series even more satisfying for me

I will miss this manga when it ends. Yes, there were ups and downs. However, through it all I had a fun ride. The flash-forward time jump was interesting. Losing powers over time was interesting because when you're young and virtually invincible and gifted, sometimes you might think it will be like that forever. But not here.
I look forward to the art in the last edition. |

Traitor puts you into the shoes of a soldier of the Augustan Hegemony, forced to rise up against your former masters after you're ordered to do something you simply cannot accept. Explore the Aventinus Complex, complete missions, upgrade your ship and gather allies until you can overthrow the tyrants who have brought such misery to the people.
[Note: If you're playing in Firefox and experience odd control problems, try switching to Chrome or Opera.]
[Current version: 1.7]
1. The game opens up after the 4th mission, when you reach the map.
2. Upgrades are available in shops on the map screen.
3. The menu allows you to see your stats, achievements and allies.
4. If a mission is too difficult, try playing a different one and upgrading your ship.
5. In some situations, survival is more important than destroying all enemy ships.
If your medals aren't unlocking, this is probably because the NG server is having some hiccups. Try reloading the page and see if the preloader ad is being displayed. Then go to the in-game Achievements screen; the game will try to unlock any medals you should already have.
the lag issues that i fced made this game nigh playable. whenever it has too many elements on the screen at one time, the last diection you pressed, the ship will continue to head that direction until either it hits the wall, kills itself, or you mash the directional keys to regain control.
Everything except the gameplay is enjoyable.
The prologue in particular was very good. It really got me in to the game. The way the game opened up was a revelation moment and excited me initially, but the plot driven premises of the game disappeared and I was left feeling empty. Repeating the standard missions for money and reputation to open up new paths is a cool concept, but not when the gameplay is setup in a way that the stages can't deviate from the mostly standard formula of watching objects fly by.
Your hitbox in relation to the total game screen is disproportionately huge, making the game feel very chunky. There is not much movement space and removes room for some really interesting stage designs. Since there were upgrades I figured the problem might alleviate itself as I become stronger and faster, but the core problem persisted and I couldn't really get myself to enjoy the game in the end.
Good idea. Good plot. Good graphics. Boring game. Sleep inducing soundtrack.
PS: I was playing Firefox, there was some freezing up and control issues, but I didn't put that into consideration for the review.
This game is awesome. I'm playing in Chrome and had no problems at all, everything worked just fine.
PS: Got all the damn medals!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! xD
PPS: Some of the misions were kinda hard but here is a tip: Buy REGENERATION, helped me a lot.

If McNair had stayed, would Thomas have come?
Recruiting, like life, is about relationships. Sometimes a recruit's decision is as simple as the connections he makes.
That was my No. 1 takeaway after speaking with Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas on the phone earlier this evening.
Thomas, who famously switched allegiances from USC to Oregon last winter, said he felt an almost instant bond with Darron Thomas, Kenjon Barner, LaMichael James and other Ducks.
De'Anthony Thomas didn't feel quite the same way about the current Trojans coaching staff, and that was at least one reason he changed his mind.
Asked if he had a good relationship with Lane Kiffin and his staff, Thomas said: "I had a good relationship with Todd McNair." McNair was let go in summer 2010, primarily because of his involvement in the Reggie Bush scandal. About seven months later, Thomas shocked Kiffin and others by signing with Oregon.
I'll have more from and about Thomas on Friday.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Trump: Bill Ayers Wrote Obama's Book! (VIDEO)
Trump also added during the discussion: "He was best friends with Bill Ayers. Bill Ayers was a super-genius. And a lot of people have said he wrote the book. Well recently, as you know last week, Bill Ayers came out and said he did write the book."
"Barack Obama wouldn't be president -- and, you know, I wrote many best sellers, and also, number one bestsellers including The Art of the Deal. So I know something about writing. And I want to tell you, the guy that wrote the first book didn't write the second book [The Audacity of Hope]. Obama made a big mistake when he wrote the second book. Because the second book was not Ernest Hemingway, it was about 37 classes below. So, the first book is Ernest Hemingway-plus. The second book was written by somebody that was much more average."
Trump might be referring to how Ayers has responded multiple times to this conspiracy theory by joking that he did write the book -- and wants some royalties.

I am using the SDK (v10) as part of our automated build utility. Previously, it had no issues with the connections when running the SaveToDisk method.
I am testing our build utility on a machine in another part of the network, and now I am getting time out issues when trying to create snapshots off some off the larger databases. (larger being relative, the databases with issues create snapshots about 2megs, while most are under 200k)
I've tried adjusting the timeout on the SQL Server side and this seemed to solve some of the timeouts, but I was wondering if there is a property I could set within the API, so the change can be restricted to when the snapshots are created.

8 The Case for Continuation of Mandatory Independent Audits For Publicly Held Companies John C. Burton Securities and Exchange Commission* When I was asked to speak on this topic I will have to admit that I did not initially view it as a hot one. Nevertheless, it did seem desirable to look once again at the somewhat strange phenomenon called an audit by an independent public accountant to see whether or not the conventional wisdom which asserts its necessity is justified. How Much Independence? The first question to be considered is whether or not, in fact, we want totally independent audits. Here I think the answer is probably no. Independence does not necessarily lead to assurance, and absolute independence, which would require elimination of all dependence on communication with clients, would be bad news indeed. The ultimate independent audit would be where the auditor arrives on the scene, is handed the financial statements and the books, and talks with no one within the company. I think we could agree that such an audit would very likely be a rather bad one since an audit depends on candid communication between auditor and client in order for the auditor to develop the necessary thorough knowledge of the company and its business which he must combine with a knowledge of the accounting measurement model. What we do want, therefore, instead of absolute independence is a dispassionate unbiased professional review of financial statements. In addition, we expect auditors to be proficient in the measurement and communication of financial information, and to assist their clients as necessary to insure adequate reporting to the public. Parties at Interest As indicated above, an audit is a rather strange creature and not at all the way in which it is perceived by most outsiders. In an overwhelming majority of cases, the audit is essentially a cooperative effort because the interests of management, the auditor, and the public coincide. In these engagements the *The Securities and Exchange Commission, as a matter of policy, disclaims responsibility for any private publication by any of its employees. The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission or of the author's colleagues on the staff of the Commission. 117
