The eighth annual meeting of the Regulatory Environmental Programme Implementation Network (REPIN) in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) was held in Tbilisi on 12-13th June 2006. The meeting was hosted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Georgia, and organised by the OECD/EAP Task Force Secretariat. The meeting gathered about 60 participants, including high and mid level officials representing the Ministries of Environment and their implementation branches from the EECCA region, officials and experts from the OECD countries, the European Commission, EBRD, the Regional Environmental Centres (RECs) for CEE, the Caucasus, Moldova, and the Russian Federation, and non-governmental organizations.
Some of the taken included:
Several of these outcomes will contribute directly to the next "Environment for Europe" Ministerial meeting to be held in Belgrade in October 2007.
Besides, this event provided an opportunity to review progress with implementation of the REPIN work programme, share information about relevant in-country activities carried out by the environmental authorities in EECCA countries and directly communicate with their colleagues from OECD and Central European countries, and with non-governmental stakeholders.
A side event on the reform of compliance assurance in Georgia was held on 14th June.
The Network, which is part of the OECD/EAP Task Force, was formally established in 1999 and has operated in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) since late 2000. REPIN work has helped to revise policies and legislation, to reform environmental institutions and to upgrade the knowledge and skills of environmental officials and experts in EECCA countries. The Network has substantially enlarged its scope of work after the Kiev "Environment for Europe" Ministerial meeting in 2003. Its multi-annual programme covers three main areas: (i) environmental policy instruments; (ii) environmental compliance assurance strategies; and (iii) institutional aspects of compliance assurance.
For more information on the REPIN Network please visit the dedicated web-page.

Why The NY Times Shouldn't Charge — Part II
from the exactly dept
Last week, the news came out that the NY Times was thinking about adding a subscription fee to their online version. At the time, we gave a bunch of reasons why it seemed like a backwards move that would only hasten the downfall of the newspaper. Long time technology and business reporter (even for the NYT) Michael S. Malone has written up a much more compelling explanation for why a subscription fee would kill the times, describing it as sacrificing "long-term influence to short-term profits." The problem is that the NY Times doesn't realize that influence is the currency of the news market these days, and closing yourself off actually decreases your influence significantly. In fact, he points out the funniest part about the NYT's thinking on the subject. Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. complains that they can't "train" a generation of news readers to expect news for free. Malone points out how laughable it is that the NYTs thinks that they, alone, can train anyone on how they should read the news.

As liberals continue to counter the criticism directed towards Ambassador Susan Rice with the race card, Eliana Johnson at National Review aptly noted how similar criticism was lobbied at Condoleezza Rice when she was nominated for Secretary of State. : I made a note of this before in my previous post, Deciphering Susan Rice without Being Racist — but I only cited Katrina Vanden Heuvel's statements. : Vanden Heuvel is the editor and publisher of the far left magazine, The Nation, but Johnson detailed on November 21 how other media outlets and members of Congress were hurling the same accusations of incompetence and politicking we see in the midst of Rice's plausible nomination for Secretary of State. Johnson wrote that:
[Condoleezza] Rice's nomination, noted the: Washington Post, garnered "the most negative votes cast against a nominee for that post in 180 years." As the Senate debated her nomination, Senator Barbara Boxer charged that Rice "frightened the American people" into supporting the Iraq War; Senator Jim Jeffords accused her of being part of an effort to "distort information" in the service of "political objectives"; and Senator Pat Leahy, who voted in her favor, endorsed her by saying that her tenure as national-security adviser lacked "strong leadership, openness, and sound judgment." :
Hey, that's racist. : But so is this cartoon by Ted Rall, who has the then-Secretary of State saying she was Bush's 'house nigga."
Jeff Danziger, whose cartoons are syndicated in The New York Times, had a caricature of "a: big-lipped, barely literate Condoleezza Rice, nursing the aluminum tubes cited by the White House as evidence of Iraq's pursuit of nuclear weapons."
Johnson is dead on in her assessment that there's a difference when someone calls you a "house nigga," and when someone calls you incompetent. : One is blatantly racist, while the other isn't. : It's not that hard to comprehend. : Ambassador Rice misled the American people : — and we deserve answers.

Announcing Slackware Linux 11!
The first Slackware release more than a year in the making, this
edition of Slackware combines Slackware's legendary simplicity,
stability, and security with some of the latest advances in Linux
technology. Expect no less than the best Slackware yet.
Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll
find two of the most advanced desktop environments available today:
Xfce 18.104.22.168, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easy
to use desktop environment, and KDE 3.5.4, the latest version of the
award-winning K Desktop Environment.
Slackware uses the 22.214.171.124 kernel bringing you advanced performance
features such as the ReiserFS journaling filesystem, SCSI and ATA RAID
volume support, SATA support, and kernel support for X DRI (the Direct
Rendering Interface) that brings high-speed hardware accelerated 3D
graphics to Linux. Additional kernels allow installing Slackware
using any of the journaling filesystems available for Linux, including
ext3, ReiserFS, IBM's JFS, and SGI's XFS. Slackware 11.0 also fully
supports the 2.6 kernel series, with your choice of the well-tested
126.96.36.199 kernel in /extra (including a version of this kernel that
supports multiple processors, multi-core CPUs, HyperThreading, and
about every other optimization available), or the recently released
2.6.18 kernel in /testing. This kernel also spent a long time in
development and in our own testing has proven to be fast, stable,
and reliable.
All of these kernels may be used with Slackware's CD/DVD based
installation system, and NFS network installs may be done using the
22.214.171.124 (huge26.s) kernel.
From the beginning, Slackware has offered a stable and secure Linux
distribution for UNIX veterans as well as an easy-to-use system for
beginners. Slackware includes everything you'll need to run a
powerful server or workstation. Each Slackware package follows the
setup and installation instructions from its author(s) as closely as
possible, offering you the most stable and easily expandable setup.
Here are some of the advanced features of Slackware 11.0:
- Runs the 188.8.131.52 version of the Linux kernel from ftp.kernel.org.
Special kernels were prepared to support hardware such as SCSI
controllers, SATA controllers, USB keyboards and mice, parallel-port
IDE devices, IBM PS/2 machines with the Microchannel bus, and even
speech synthesizers providing access to Linux for the visually
impaired community. The performance of the 2.4.x kernel series
along with Slackware's track record of careful attention to system
security make it the perfect choice for running your production
- As an alternate choice, Slackware 11.0 includes Linux 22.214.171.124
and 2.6.18 kernel source, kernel modules, and binary packages,
along with the mkinitrd tool and instructions on using it to
install the new kernel (see /boot/README.initrd). When running a
2.6 kernel, Slackware supports udev. This is a system for
creating devices in /dev dynamically, greatly reducing device
clutter and making it easy to see what devices are actually
present in the system. Udev probes for and enables hardware on
the system, much like the hotplug system does for a 2.4 kernel.
- System binaries are linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.3.6.
This version of glibc also has excellent compatibility with
existing binaries.
- X11R6.9.0 (same codebase as Modular X.Org 7.0.0)
This is the X.Org Foundation's X Window System. The 6.9.0 version
includes additional hardware support, functional enhancements, and
bug fixes compared with the 6.8.2 release that shipped in Slackware
10.2, and we're added additional support for some recent popular
Intel graphics chipsets.
- Installs gcc-3.4.6 as the default C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran-77,
and Ada 95 compiler.
- Support for fully encrypted network connections with OpenSSL,
OpenSSH, and GnuPG.
- Apache 1.3.37 web server with Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support,
SSL, and PHP.
- PCMCIA, CardBus, and APM support for laptops. (pcmcia-cs-3.2.8
and pcmciautils-014). Slackware also now includes hotplug and
udev support. This locates and configures most hardware
automatically as it is added (or removed) from the system.
It also loads the kernel modules required by sound cards and
other hardware at boot time.
- New development tools, including Perl 5.8.8, Python 2.4.3,
Ruby 1.8.4, Subversion 1.4.0, and graphical tools like
Qt designer and KDevelop.
- Updated versions of the Slackware package management tools make it
easy to add, remove, upgrade, and make your own Slackware packages.
Package tracking makes it easy to upgrade from Slackware 10.2 to
Slackware 11.0 (see UPGRADE.TXT). The slackpkg tool in /extra can
also help update from an older version of Slackware to a newer one,
and keep your Slackware system up to date. In addition, the
slacktrack utility (in extra/) will help you build and maintain
your own packages.
- Web browsers galore! Includes KDE's Konqueror 3.5.4,
SeaMonkey 1.0.5 (this is the new replacement for the Mozilla
Suite), and the immensely popular Firefox 184.108.40.206, as well as
the Thunderbird 22.214.171.124 email and news client with advanced
junk mail filtering.
- The complete K Desktop Environment (KDE) version 3.5.4, including
the KOffice productivity suite, networking tools, GUI development
with KDevelop, multimedia tools (including the amazing Amarok
music player), the Konqueror web browser and file manager, dozens
of games and utilities, international language support, and more.
- A collection of GTK+ based applications including gaim-1.5.0,
gimp-2.2.13, gkrellm-2.2.9, gxine-0.5.7, xchat-2.6.6, xsane-0.991,
and pan-0.14.2.91.
- Large repository of extra software packages compiled and ready to
run. This includes various window managers, the K3b CD burning
application for KDE, the Java(TM) 2 Software Development Kit
Standard Edition, libsafe (advanced buffer overflow protection for
additional security), ISDN support, additional 802.11 drivers, and
much more (see the /extra directory).
- Many more improved and upgraded packages than we can list here. For
a complete list of core packages in Slackware 11.0, see this file:
- Another Slackware exclusive: Slackware's ZipSlack installation
option is the fastest, _easiest_ Linux installation ever. ZipSlack
provides a basic text-based Linux system as a 70 megabyte ZIP archive.
Simply unzip on any FAT or FAT32 partition, edit your boot partition
in the LINUX.BAT batch file, and you can be running Linux in less
than five minutes. The ZipSlack installation includes everything you
need to network with Linux (including Ethernet, token ring, and
PPP), and extend the system with additional software packages such as
X. A ZipSlack system will even fit on a 250MB Zip(TM) disk, so you
can carry a personal Linux system with you to run on any PC with a
250MB Zip(TM) drive.

MIT closes out 2013 season with a win over Coast Guard, 48-31
Engineers set a school record with 577 yards of offense
MIT closed out its 2013 football season in fine form this afternoon as the Engineers churned out a school record 577 yards of offense that helped them overcome three first half turnovers in a 48-31 victory over the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Justin R. Wallace '15 rushed for over 200 yards for the first time in his career, finishing with 215 and a pair of scores for MIT. The triumph gave the Engineers six wins in a season for the first time since 1999.
MIT (6-3, 4-3 NEFC) took the opening kickoff and started moving down the field, gaining the Coast Guard side of the 50-yard line on a 19-yard completion from Peter J. Williams '15 to Bradford L. Goldsberry '15. But three plays later Williams was intercepted by Evan Rothfield, and the Bears turned around and marched all the way to the MIT 25 before the Engineers could halt the dive. Tyler Henning came on and put Coast Guard in the lead with a 42-yard field goal.
Coast Guard (3-7, 3-4 NEFC) then jumped on a Williams fumble on MIT's second play on the next drive, with the Bears recovering at the MIT 6. On the next play Derek Victory took it in for the score and six and a half minutes in the Bears had a 10-0 lead.
Williams hit Seve A. Esparrago '16 with a 31-yard strike on the first play of the next MIT possession, and that sparked a response by the Engineers. Williams completed five of seven attempts on the drive for 71 yards, including a seven-yard scoring toss to Matthew P. Lindsay '17 with 2:35 left in the quarter.
Three plays later Coast Guard was back on top by 10 after a 43-yard scoring pass from Victory to Alex Oswald. The Bears then picked up another turnover when Victor Rizzardi picked off Williams and returned it 40 yards to the MIT eight as the first quarter ended. Mike Clancy then made it 24-7 on the next play with his run into the end zone.
Wallace started the next MIT drive with a 22-yard carry and the Engineers went on to complete an 11-play, 75-yard drive to begin its comeback. With 10:18 left Williams took it in from three yards out to cut the Coast Guard lead to 10 points. The Bears missed on a 54-yard field goal attempt on their next possession, giving MIT the ball on its own 37. The Engineers put together another scoring drive and when Williams hit sophomore Nathan H. Varady '16 in the back of the end zone with 12 second left in the half, the lead was down to three.
MIT forced a three and out on the first Coast Guard possession of the second half and then marched down the field again as Williams accounted for all but 14 yards of a 65-yard drive that finished with a Williams to Esparrago 15-yard scoring toss to give the Engineers their first lead of the game at 28-24. MIT then picked up a turnover of its own as Jacob N. Laux '14 fell on a lose ball at the Coast Guard 30. The Engineers turned that miscue into points as Tucker T. Cheyne '17 hit a 35-yard field goal to make it 31-24.
Coast Guard came back and tied things up on its next possession as Jake Wawrzyniak took it over from the one with 2:46 left in the third, but MIT came right back and retook the lead with an 82-yard drive. Williams was sacked for a six-yard loss on a third and one at the Coast Guard 21, but came back on fourth down with a 21-yard completion to Christopher G. McPherson '16 and Wallace finished it on the next play from six yards out to make it 38-31 with 13 minutes to go.
Coast Guard could not come up with a response for the rest of the game, however, as the MIT defense held the Bears to a total of nine yards on their final three possessions. The Engineers offense continued to eat up yards and clock and they added a 26-yard Cheyne field goal and a four-yard run by Wallace with 2:15 left to ice the win.
Other than the three turnovers, Coast Guard could not contain the MIT offense. The Engineers held the ball for 44:45 and converted 17 of 21 third down attempts. Williams had his best passing day of the season, completing 21 of 31 for 293 yards and three scores. Esparrago grabbed six of those passes for 108 yards and a score while Goldsberry also had six catches, totaling 72 yards.
Victory completed 20 of 35 attempts for 209 yards for Coast Guard, with Oswald catching six for 110 yards and Collis Brown eight more for 82 yards. The MIT defense, led by Brent M. Johnson '14's eight tackles, held the Bears to just 40 yards rushing.

text: What Derrida Really Meant NYT October 14, 2004 By MARK C. TAYLOR Along with Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, who died last week in Paris at the age of 74, will be remembered as one of the three most important philosophers of the 20th century. No thinker in the last 100 years had a greater impact than he did on people in more fields and different disciplines. Philosophers, theologians, literary and art critics, psychologists, historians, writers, artists, legal scholars and even architects have found in his writings resources for insights that have led to an extraordinary revival of the arts and humanities during the past four decades. And no thinker has been more deeply misunderstood. To people addicted to sound bites and overnight polls, Mr. Derrida's works seem hopelessly obscure. It is undeniable that they cannot be easily summarized or reduced to one-liners. The obscurity of his writing, however, does not conceal a code that can be cracked, but reflects the density and complexity characteristic of all great works of philosophy, literature and art. Like good French wine, his works age well. The more one lingers with them, the more they reveal about our world and ourselves. What makes Mr. Derrida's work so significant is the way he brought insights of major philosophers, writers, artists and theologians to bear on problems of urgent contemporary interest. Most of his infamously demanding texts consist of careful interpretations of canonical writers in the Western philosophical, literary and artistic traditions - from Plato to Joyce. By reading familiar works against the grain, he disclosed concealed meanings that created new possibilities for imaginative expression. Mr. Derrida's name is most closely associated with the often cited but rarely understood term "deconstruction." Initially formulated to define a strategy for interpreting sophisticated written and visual works, deconstruction has entered everyday language. When responsibly understood, the implications of deconstruction are quite different from the misleading clichés often used to describe a process of dismantling or taking things apart. The guiding insight of deconstruction is that every structure - be it literary, psychological, social, economic, political or religious - that organizes our experience is constituted and maintained through acts of exclusion. In the process of creating something, something else inevitably gets left out. These exclusive structures can become repressive - and that repression comes with consequences. In a manner reminiscent of Freud, Mr. Derrida insists that what is repressed does not disappear but always returns to unsettle every construction, no matter how secure it seems. As an Algerian Jew writing in France during the postwar years in the wake of totalitarianism on the right (fascism) as well as the left (Stalinism), Mr. Derrida understood all too well the danger of beliefs and ideologies that divide the world into diametrical opposites: right or left, red or blue, good or evil, for us or against us. He showed how these repressive structures, which grew directly out of the Western intellectual and cultural tradition, threatened to return with devastating consequences. By struggling to find ways to overcome patterns that exclude the differences that make life worth living, he developed a vision that is consistently ethical. And yet, supporters on the left and critics on the right have misunderstood this vision. Many of Mr. Derrida's most influential followers appropriated his analyses of marginal writers, works and cultures as well as his emphasis on the importance of preserving differences and respecting others to forge an identity politics that divides the world between the very oppositions that it was Mr. Derrida's mission to undo: black and white, men and women, gay and straight. Betraying Mr. Derrida's insights by creating a culture of political correctness, his self-styled supporters fueled the culture wars that have been raging for more than two decades and continue to frame political debate. To his critics, Mr. Derrida appeared to be a pernicious nihilist who threatened the very foundation of Western society and culture. By insisting that truth and absolute value cannot be known with certainty, his detractors argue, he undercut the very possibility of moral judgment. To follow Mr. Derrida, they maintain, is to start down the slippery slope of skepticism and relativism that inevitably leaves us powerless to act responsibly. This is an important criticism that requires a careful response. Like Kant, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, Mr. Derrida does argue that transparent truth and absolute values elude our grasp. This does not mean, however, that we must forsake the cognitive categories and moral principles without which we cannot live: equality and justice, generosity and friendship. Rather, it is necessary to recognize the unavoidable limitations and inherent contradictions in the ideas and norms that guide our actions, and do so in a way that keeps them open to constant questioning and continual revision. There can be no ethical action without critical reflection. During the last decade of his life, Mr. Derrida became preoccupied with religion and it is in this area that his contribution might well be most significant for our time. He understood that religion is impossible without uncertainty. Whether conceived of as Yahweh, as the father of Jesus Christ, or as Allah, God can never be fully known or adequately represented by imperfect human beings. And yet, we live in an age when major conflicts are shaped by people who claim to know, for certain, that God is on their side. Mr. Derrida reminded us that religion does not always give clear meaning, purpose and certainty by providing secure foundations. To the contrary, the great religious traditions are profoundly disturbing because they all call certainty and security into question. Belief not tempered by doubt poses a mortal danger. As the process of globalization draws us ever closer in networks of communication and exchange, there is an understandable longing for simplicity, clarity and certainty. This desire is responsible, in large measure, for the rise of cultural conservatism and religious fundamentalism - in this country and around the world. True believers of every stripe - Muslim, Jewish and Christian - cling to beliefs that, Mr. Derrida warns, threaten to tear apart our world. Fortunately, he also taught us that the alternative to blind belief is not simply unbelief but a different kind of belief - one that embraces uncertainty and enables us to respect others whom we do not understand. In a complex world, wisdom is knowing what we don't know so that we can keep the future open. In the two decades I knew Mr. Derrida, we had many meetings and exchanges. In conversation, he listened carefully and responded helpfully to questions whether posed by undergraduates or colleagues. As a teacher, he gave freely of his time to several generations of students. But small things are the measure of the man. In 1986, my family and I were in Paris and Mr. Derrida invited us to dinner at his house in the suburbs 20 miles away. He insisted on picking us up at our hotel, and when we arrived at his home he presented our children with carnival masks. At 2 a.m., he drove us back to the city. In later years, when my son and daughter were writing college papers on his work, he sent them letters and postcards of encouragement as well as signed copies of several of his books. Jacques Derrida wrote eloquently about the gift of friendship but in these quiet gestures - gestures that served to forge connections among individuals across their differences - we see deconstruction in action.

SNOW HILL – A Maryland state initiative to stockpile anti-flu virus medication in case of a flu pandemic will not count Worcester County among its participants.
The County Commissioners voted unanimously this week to not pursue the anti-viral medication program after Worcester County Health Officer Debbie Goeller recommended against it.
The state of Maryland was asking for a letter of intent to join the program by May 9, a letter of understanding by May 21, and full payment by June 11, forcing a quick decision on the commissioners.
The initiative trickled down from a federal government program to make enough flu medication at discounted prices available to the states to stockpile for 25 percent of the population.
"In Maryland, there was an allocation of 578,000 doses," said Goeller. "The state purchased 210,000 doses and then basically didn't have the money to buy the rest."
The program is intended to provide flu treatment to essential personnel and government decision makers and their families, during an influenza pandemic, Goeller explained.
"When I say treatment, it is for people who are sick. It is not a preventative thing," she said.
The medications, Tamiflu and Relenza, are good for 81 months and must be stored in a climate-controlled environment.
In the event of a pandemic, Worcester County would have to get state permission to dispense the flu medication.
About half the counties who have considered participation have rejected the program, including Somerset, and half accepted.
Goeller expressed doubts over the medications' usefulness in a pandemic.
"It's uncertain. We have no evidence at all this would be effective in a pandemic situation," she said.
There is evidence that seasonal flu viruses are becoming resistant to Tamiflu, she said. Flu medications typically do little more than reduce the duration of symptoms by 24 to 36 hours.
After 81 months, unused medication would be thrown away, leading to possible environmental implications for wildlife and in waterways.
There is no provision for rotating the stock of medication to always have current doses on hand, Goeller said.
There are also significant legal and medical issues surrounding the dispensing of medication by a county government.
Goeller said she is not aware of any precedent where a government treated an illness, rather than simply administering preventatives.
In a pandemic, there are also questions over who would be assessing and diagnosing patients, and prescribing the flu medication. There are also ethical issues over just who counts as essential personnel.
"You're the chief here and we're the Indians and we need to know your recommendations," said Commissioner Bud Church.
"There are significant problems in the partnership. Anti-virals haven't been proven to have effect in a pandemic situation," Goeller said. "I can't particularly recommend participation at this time."
She added, "I'm very uncomfortable with the short time frame in which to make a decision when we have all these concerns."
"I couldn't agree with you more," said Commissioner Louise Gulyas. "There's too many variables here."
"One word that jumped out at me: uncertain," said Commissioner Judy Boggs. "I hate to make decisions based on so many unknowns."

Charity Delyle has lived in the shadow of her Prodigy cousin and his powerful Guard since the day she was born. And she doesn't mind—really. Except that being in Hunter's shadow means that he can't see her. And she'd like that to change.
Hunter has one purpose in life: Protect the Prodigy, or die trying. That means a social life, school, and even Charity come last until the war is over. For the most part, he's okay with that—he can lose everything if he has to…except his seer.
Starting at a new school should be much safer than living in a war-ravaged Carules headquarters. But this new school is different than the others. Friendships are forged and destinies are questioned, and Hunter's decision could cost them all everything they've been hoping for.
Excerpt: "Okay, do you want to practice the ones we learned last week or just start new ones?" She had carefully color-coded the spell book with sticky tabs — spells they had mastered, spells they had practiced, spells that would come in handy one day — she was very organized. And if the Council ever found out she put sticky tabs in a book that was over three hundred years old, they would kill her completely dead.
"Learn as much as you can, Shane. Gonna be hard to find a place to practice in the mountains of Utah, surrounded by Normals." Hunter idly traced spells in the air, letting them fizzle and die without igniting them.
"Well, alright." Charity flipped to the red section — spells that would come in handy one day. She started at the top. "This one is called an Al-able." The odd word rolled awkwardly off her tongue. "It's like… it looks like it's sort of a flat triangle of flames."
Hunter and Shane both walked over, studying the spell in the book before tracing it slowly into the air. The spell wouldn't actually ignite until they lit it with the flames roiling through their blood, but they both wanted to make sure they could do it correctly so as not to explode them all to pieces or something.
"No, no, Hunter. Less harsh lines. Softer." Charity glanced down at the page and then up at Hunter's disaster of an attempt. Sighing she laid the book on the metal next to her and pushed herself to her feet. She took Hunter's hand, trying hard to ignore the way her own blood seemed to explode into flames. There's no magic there, she told herself harshly. "Like this." She led his hand through the spell until the air smoked and the image burned in front of them. She looked up, got caught in his gold eyes. He watched her, an unreadable look on his face.
It made her heart stutter in her chest. Before he could say anything she dropped his hand. "Now try it on your own. I can't do everything for you, you know." Charity grinned playfully, dodging out of the way as he tried to push her over. She rescued the book from the twisted metal and perched, watching them expectantly. "Go. Do something."
Shane rolled his eyes. "Give the girl a book and she's suddenly the boss." He moved away several feet so he wouldn't accidentally ignite her. He'd done it before, and Charity didn't relish the idea of it happening again.

I've just been trying to compress an image with the PNG image format and have had varying results from different applications. For reference, the image I am trying to compress is a screenshot of this site. Here's a download of the original image.
Here are some results I have so far in order of best to worse (original image is 239KB):
PNGGauntlet (Xtreme! / None filter) ...................... 141KB
FastStone Capture v5.3 (16M / MAX/ No filter) ............ 166KB
Paint.NET 3.36 (Autodetect) .............................. 185KB
PNGGauntlet (Xtreme! / Auto filter) ...................... 208KB
IrfanView (PNGOUT 2 passes w/default) .................... 211KB
XnView (Export / 9 / Sub filter) ......................... 228KB
Photoshop CS1 (Save for Web / PNG24) ..................... 232KB
IrfanView (Standard save / 9) ............................ 240KB
XnView (Standard save / 9) ............................... 240KB
IrfanView (Save for Web / Best) .......................... 242KB
FastStone Capture v5.3 (16M / MAX/ Paeth filter) ......... 248KB
IrfanView (Save for Web / Optimal 256 / Xiaolin / Best) .. 81KB
Some fiddling with PNGGauntlet led to the best result, although it took ages to compress. FastStone is doing something interesting, as is Paint.NET because they get their results in a fraction of the time PNGGauntlet takes to crank its magic. I've separated those last two results for contrast (see how the Paeth filter seems to be causing a problem). Note also the palletized 256-color version from Irfan: this would normally be the option I would use, but I'm testing TrueColor results here.
Has anyone else got any suggestions that can beat the best results here and can anyone explain what the filters do because they seem to seriously affect the outcome depending on the image type.

ps - report process status
ps [-aA][-defl][-G grouplist][-o format]...[-p proclist][-t termlist] [-U userlist][-g grouplist][-n namelist][-u userlist]
The ps utility writes information about processes, subject to having the appropriate privileges to obtain information about those processes.
By default, ps selects all processes with the same effective user ID as the current user and the same controlling terminal as the invoker.
The ps utility supports the XBD specification, Utility Syntax Guidelines .
The following options are supported:
- -a
- Write information for all processes associated with terminals. Implementations may omit session leaders from this list.
- Write information for all processes.
- -d
- Write information for all processes, except session leaders.
- -e
- Write information for all processes (equivalent to -A).
- -f
- Generate a full listing. (See the STDOUT section for the contents of a full listing.)
- -g grouplist
- Write information for processes whose session leaders are given in grouplist. The grouplist must be a single argument in the form of a blank- or comma-separated list.
- -G grouplist
- Write information for processes whose real group ID numbers are given in grouplist. The grouplist must be a single argument in the form of a blank- or comma-separated list.
- -l
- Generate a long listing. (See the STDOUT section for the contents of a long listing.)
- -n namelist
- Specify the name of an alternative system namelist file in place of the default. The name of the default file and the format of a namelist file are unspecified.
- -o format
- Write information according to the format specification given in format. This is fully described in the STDOUT section. Multiple -o options can be specified; the format specification will be interpreted as the space-character-separated concatenation of all the format option-arguments.
- -p proclist
- Write information for processes whose process ID numbers are given in proclist. The proclist must be a single argument in the form of a blank- or comma-separated list.
- -t termlist
- Write information for processes associated with terminals given in termlist. The termlist must be a single argument in the form of a blank- or comma-separated list. Terminal identifiers must be given in one of two forms: the device's filename (for example, tty04) or, if the device's filename starts with tty, just the identifier following the characters tty (for example, 04).
- -u userlist
- Write information for processes whose user ID numbers or login names are given in userlist. The userlist must be a single argument in the form of a blank- or comma-separated list. In the listing, the numerical user ID will be written unless the -f option is used, in which case the login name will be written.
- -U userlist
- Write information for processes whose real user ID numbers or login names are given in userlist. The userlist must be a single argument in the form of a blank- or comma-separated list.
With the exception of -o format, all of the options shown are used to select processes. If any are specified, the default list will be ignored and ps will select the processes represented by the inclusive OR of all the selection-criteria options.
Not used.
The following environment variables affect the execution of ps:
- Override the system-selected horizontal screen size, used to determine the number of text columns to display. See the XBD specification, Environment Variables for valid values and results when it is unset or null.
- Provide a default value for the internationalisation variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from the implementation-dependent default locale will be used. If any of the internationalisation variables contains an invalid setting, the utility will behave as if none of the variables had been defined.
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalisation variables.
- Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single- as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
- Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error and informative messages written to standard output.
- Determine the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .
- Determine the format and contents of the date and time strings displayed.
When the -o option is not specified, the standard output format is as follows. The column headings and descriptions of the columns in a ps listing are given below. The precise meanings of these fields are implementation-dependent. The letters f and l (below) indicate the option ( full or long) that causes the corresponding heading to appear; all means that the heading always appears. Note that these two options determine only what information is provided for a process; they do not determine which processes will be listed.
F (l) Flags (octal and additive) associated with the process. S (l) The state of the process. UID (f,l) The user ID number of the process owner; the login name is printed under the -f option. PID (all) The process ID of the process; it is possible to kill a process if this datum is known. PPID (f,l) The process ID of the parent process. C (f,l) Processor utilisation for scheduling. PRI (l) The priority of the process; higher numbers mean lower priority. NI (l) Nice value; used in priority computation. ADDR (l) The address of the process. SZ (l) The size in blocks of the core image of the process. WCHAN (l) The event for which the process is waiting or sleeping; if blank, the process is running. STIME (f) Starting time of the process. TTY (all) The controlling terminal for the process. TIME (all) The cumulative execution time for the process. CMD (all) The command name; the full command name and its arguments are written under the -f option.
A process that has exited and has a parent, but has not yet been waited for by the parent, is marked defunct.
Under the option -f, ps tries to determine the command name and arguments given when the process was created by examining memory or the swap area. Failing this, the command name, as it would appear without the option -f, is written in square brackets.
The -o option allows the output format to be specified under user control.
The format specification must be a list of names presented as a single argument, blank- or comma-separated. Each variable has a default header. The default header can be overridden by appending an equals sign and the new text of the header. The rest of the characters in the argument will be used as the header text. The fields specified will be written in the order specified on the command line, and should be arranged in columns in the output. The field widths will be selected by the system to be at least as wide as the header text (default or overridden value). If the header text is null, such as -o user=, the field width will be at least as wide as the default header text. If all header text fields are null, no header line will be written.
The following names are recognised in the POSIX locale:
- ruser
- The real user ID of the process. This will be the textual user ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise.
- user
- The effective user ID of the process. This will be the textual user ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise.
- rgroup
- The real group ID of the process. This will be the textual group ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise.
- group
- The effective group ID of the process. This will be the textual group ID, if it can be obtained and the field width permits, or a decimal representation otherwise.
- pid
- The decimal value of the process ID.
- ppid
- The decimal value of the parent process ID.
- pgid
- The decimal value of the process group ID.
- pcpu
- The ratio of CPU time used recently to CPU time available in the same period, expressed as a percentage. The meaning of "recently" in this context is unspecified. The CPU time available is determined in an unspecified manner.
- vsz
- The size of the process in (virtual) memory in kilobytes as a decimal integer.
- nice
- The decimal value of the system scheduling priority of the process. See nice.
- etime
- In the POSIX locale, the elapsed time since the process was started, in the form:where dd will represent the number of days, hh the number of hours, mm the number of minutes, and ss the number of seconds. The dd field will be a decimal integer. The hh, mm and ss fields will be two-digit decimal integers padded on the left with zeros.
- time
- In the POSIX locale, the cumulative CPU time of the process in the form:The dd, hh, mm and ss fields will be as described in the etime specifier.
- tty
- The name of the controlling terminal of the process (if any) in the same format used by the who utility.
- comm
- The name of the command being executed (argv[0] value) as a string.
- args
- The command with all its arguments as a string. The implementation may truncate this value to the field width; it is implementation-dependent whether any further truncation occurs. It is unspecified whether the string represented is a version of the argument list as it was passed to the command when it started, or is a version of the arguments as they may have been modified by the application. Applications cannot depend on being able to modify their argument list and having that modification be reflected in the output of ps.
Any field need not be meaningful in all implementations. In such a case a hyphen (-) should be output in place of the field value.
Only comm and args are allowed to contain blank characters; all others are not. Any implementation-dependent variables will be specified in the system documentation along with the default header and indicating if the field may contain blank characters.
The following table specifies the default header to be used in the POSIX locale corresponding to each format specifier.
Format Specifier Default Header Format Specifier Default Header args COMMAND ppid PPID comm COMMAND rgroup RGROUP etime ELAPSED ruser RUSER group GROUP time TIME nice NI tty TT pcpu %CPU user USER pgid PGID vsz VSZ pid PID
Table: Variable Names and Default Headers in ps
Used only for diagnostic messages.
The following exit values are returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- >0
- An error occurred.
Things can change while ps is running; the snapshot it gives is only true for an instant, and might not be accurate by the time it is displayed.
The args format specifier is allowed to produce a truncated version of the command arguments. In some implementations, this information is no longer available when the ps utility is executed.
If the field width is too narrow to display a textual ID, the system may use a numeric version. Normally, the system would be expected to choose large enough field widths, but if a large number of fields were selected to write, it might squeeze fields to their minimum sizes to fit on one line. One way to ensure adequate width for the textual IDs is to override the default header for a field to make it larger than most or all user or group names.
There is no special quoting mechanism for header text. The header text is the rest of the argument. If multiple header changes are needed, multiple -o options can be used, such as:
ps -o "user=User Name" -o pid=Process\ ID
On some systems, especially multi-level secure systems, ps may be severely restricted and produce information only about child processes owned by the user.
The command:writes at least the following in the POSIX locale:
ps -o user,pid,ppid=MOM -o args
The contents of the COMMAND field need not be the same in all implementations, due to possible truncation.
USER PID MOM COMMAND helene 34 12 ps -o uid,pid,ppid=MOM -o args
kill, nice, renice.

Saturn lightning, rotation discoveries made
Posted: December 20, 2004
As NASA's Cassini spacecraft approached Saturn last July, it found evidence that lightning on the planet is roughly one million times stronger than lightning on Earth.
That's just one of several Cassini findings that University of Iowa Space Physicist Don Gurnett will present in a paper published in Science Express, an online version of the journal Science, and in a talk delivered at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
Other findings include:
"This means that radio signals from Saturn's lightning are on the order of one million times stronger than Earth's lightning. That's just astonishing to me!" says Gurnett, who notes that some radio signals have been linked to storm systems observed by the Cassini imaging instrument.
Earth's lightning is commonly detected on AM radios, a technique similar to that used by scientists monitoring signals from Cassini.
Regarding Saturn's rings, Gurnett says that the Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument detected large numbers of dust impacts on the spacecraft. Gurnett and his science team found that as Cassini approached the inbound ring plane crossing, the impact rate began to increase dramatically some two minutes before the ring plane crossing, then reached a peak of more than 1,000 per second at almost exactly the time of the ring plane crossing, and finally decreased to pre-existing levels about two minutes later.
Gurnett notes that the particles are probably quite small, only a few microns in diameter, otherwise they would have damaged the spacecraft.
Finally, variations in Saturn's radio rotation rate came as a surprise. Based upon more than one year of Cassini measurements, the rate is 10 hours 45 minutes and 45 seconds, plus or minus 36 seconds. That's about six minutes longer than the value recorded by the Voyager 1 and 2 flybys of Saturn in 1980-81.
Scientists use the rotation rate of radio emissions from the giant gas planets such as Saturn and Jupiter to determine the rotation rate of the planets themselves because the planets have no solid surfaces and are covered by clouds that make direct visual measurements impossible.
Gurnett suggests that the change in the radio rotation rate is difficult to explain.
"Saturn is unique in that its magnetic axis is almost exactly aligned with its rotational axis. That means there is no rotationally induced wobble in the magnetic field, so there must be some secondary effect controlling the radio emission. We hope to nail that down during the next four to eight years of the Cassini mission."
One possible scenario was suggested nearly 20 years ago. Writing in the May 1985 issue of "Geophysical Research Letters," Alex J. Dessler, a senior research scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, argued that the magnetic fields of gaseous giant planets, such as Saturn and Jupiter, are more like that of the sun than of the Earth. The sun's magnetic field does not rotate as a solid body. Instead, its rotation period varies with latitude.
Commenting earlier this year on the work of Gurnett and his team, Dessler said, "This finding is very significant because it demonstrates that the idea of a rigidly rotating magnetic field is wrong. Saturn's magnetic field has more in common with the sun than the Earth. The measurement can be interpreted as showing that the part of Saturn's magnetic field that controls the radio emissions has moved to a higher latitude during the last two decades."
The radio sounds of Saturn's rotation - resembling a heartbeat - and other sounds of space can be heard by visiting Gurnett's Web site at: http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/space-audio.
Cassini, carrying 12 scientific instruments, on June 30, 2004 became the first spacecraft to orbit Saturn and begin a four-year study of the planet, its rings and its 31 known moons.

I really like the new BMW 228i but it is out of my price range. It would seem that a CPO 128i might be a good alternative. I have a budget of about $25,ooo and would be willing to use 5 grand for a down payment. However, I don't drive that much and I'm thinking that leasing might be an option. What should I do?
First let's examine some numbers. If you were to finance a $25,000 Certified Pre-Owned 128 and put 5 thousand down, you would be looking at a payment of around 360/mo for 60 months (assumed 3% interest rate). Currently BMW is running a lease offer for a "well equipped" 228i (MSRP of 37,075) for $309/mo for 33 months with about $3800 down.
Those monthly payment numbers look very similar, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, none of those figures, the finance nor the lease, include tax, title and tag fees as these will vary from state to state. Also, the terms of those payments are different, you would be financing for 5 years at $360/mo, but leasing for about 3 years at $309/mo. If we were to equalize those terms at shortened your finance to 36 months your payment would be about $582/mo. and I'm guessing a car payment of almost $600 is not realistic. So for the sake of this scenario we will keep the finance term at 60 months.
In addition to the numbers here are a few other things to consider. First and foremost, when you lease you retain no ownership of the vehicle. You are essentially "borrowing" the car for 3 years, but are also only paying for the part that you are using. This allows you to drive a $37,000 car for that amount of time, whereas if you were to finance that 37 grand with 5 grand down your payments would be about $930/mo for 36 months or $575/mo for 60 months, neither of which are realistic given your budget.
At the end of the lease you basically have two choices, turn the car in or buy it out. You will have no significant trade value, but you might have acquired some "lease equity" that you could apply towards your next purchase/lease. During the course of your lease you will be driving a new car, with full warranty protection and because it is a BMW all of your preventative maintenance is covered for 4 years. Also, you will have to be very careful to stay within the mileage limitations of the lease or face a penalties when the time comes to return the car.
On the flip-side, if you choose to purchase your CPO BMW 128 you do not have to worry about mileage nor are you "stuck" with the car for any specific amount of time. If after a year or two you decide you want something else, you can easily sell your BMW Getting out of a lease early, while possible, can be difficult and expensive. Also, once you have completed your loan term you retain full ownership of the vehicle to either drive without payments or trade in for another vehicle.
If the current retail value of a 12 CPO 128 with 40k miles is about 25k and you pay it off in 5 years, the estimated value of that car in 2019 (assuming the then total mileage is about 100k) would be about 8-12 thousand, maybe more or less depending on condition. Having at least 8 thousand as a downpayment for another car is a good place to be. Of course the major thing to consider is that during your ownership of that 128, your warranty coverage will only apply for the first two years of the loan. After that, if anything needs repairs it will be on you and German cars are not cheap to fix. I would argue that the driving experience is worth the extra expense but that is something for you to decide.
At the end of the day it comes down to this, do you want to "borrow" a brand new car and not have to worry about repairs and maintenance but be restricted with your mileage? Or...would you rather own a used car to do as you see fit, but roll the dice on maintenance and repairs?

American homes and their energy consumption account for nearly 40 percent of U.S. emissions, 626 million metric tons of carbon in 2005 alone. But 33 simple actions—ranging from improving the insulation to carpooling—could cut those annual carbon emissions by 123 million metric tons. That savings would more than entirely offset emissions from petroleum refineries, iron and steel works, and aluminum smelters combined.
"We did a careful analysis of the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from changes in energy use by households. We did this by considering not only the hypothetical reduction that would occur if everyone undertook each action but by looking at what is behaviorally realistic," explains ecologist and sociologist Thomas Dietz of Michigan State University, one of the authors of the study laying out the possibilities in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "A substantial amount of energy use in U.S. households is wasted, and there have been successful programs to eliminate that waste."
Based on this analysis of potential emissions-cutting measures—as well as the success of programs to inspire them—weatherizing homes as well as properly maintaining heating and cooling systems could save more than 37 million metric tons of carbon. Boosting average fuel efficiency in 50 percent of cars from 20.8 miles per gallon to 30.7 mpg—and there are at least 26 vehicles available today that would do that, ranging from compact cars to sport utility vehicles—would save roughly 30 million metric tons. Carpooling, energy-efficient appliances and equipment, and even changing the temperature on washing machines and water heaters also add to the effect. And if 25 percent of drivers went back to driving 55 miles per hour on the highway, nearly eight million metric tons of carbon could be avoided each year by reducing fuel consumption 21 percent.
"People are busy, and when you gasp at your energy bill or at the gas pump you don't know what part of that bill is paying for something you want—like heating, cooling and transportation—and what part of it is just wasted," Dietz says. "We need to make it easier for people to make the links and, for some things, like weatherization, help with the up-front costs."
Similar efforts on a regional scale, such as the Hood River Conservation Project, convinced some 85 percent of possible participants to better weatherproof their homes through a mixture of financial incentives, mass media campaigns and other interventions. And the recent national "cash for clunkers" program for trading in old cars for newer, more efficient vehicles was highly popular "because the money was available up front and not as a tax rebate months later," Dietz says. "The paperwork was done by the dealerships not the car buyers, and it was well publicized by the dealers and, we think, by word of mouth," he adds.
Similar efforts to promote solar power in New Jersey, for example, have largely failed because they involve significant paperwork, delays in collecting financial incentives, and incomplete or hidden information. Similarly, programs to weatherize homes as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, better known as the federal stimulus package, may fail because they are not widely known and feature an incentive in the form of a tax credit that could take up to a year to collect. "We have neglected behavioral sciences research on energy since 1980," Dietz notes. "Consumer preferences aren't a given, [or] else there wouldn't be a multibillion dollar advertising industry."
Perhaps the simplest change to make is eliminating so-called "standby" electricity, or the energy needed to run devices, such as televisions, even when they are turned off. The emissions associated with that wasted power amount to an average of more than 94 kilograms of carbon per year for every one of the 111 million households with electricity in the U.S.—more than 10 million metric tons of carbon nationwide every year. A simple power strip that can be flicked off would eliminate all of that.
Climate Change Begins at Home: Small Steps to Cut Greenhouse Emissions Can Lead to Big Results
A new study shows how household improvements, such as better insulation, could cut U.S. carbon emissions by more than 7 percent

Inspired by the sleek and efficient propulsion of squid, jellyfish and other cephalopods, a University of Colorado at Boulder researcher has designed a new generation of compact vortex generators that could make it easier for scientists to maneuver and dock underwater vehicles at low speeds and with greater precision.
In addition, the technology – seemingly inspired by the plots of two classic sci-fi films – may soon allow doctors to guide tiny capsules with jet thrusters through the human digestive tract, enabling them to diagnose disease and dispense medications.
Kamran Mohseni, an assistant professor of aerospace engineering sciences, will present these and other details at the American Geophysical Union's annual fall meeting Dec. 11-15 in San Francisco. A global network of scientists, the AGU describes its mission as the advancement of terrestrial, atmospheric and space research aimed at benefiting humanity.
"Reliable docking mechanisms are essential for the operation of underwater vehicles, especially in harsh environments," Mohseni said. "We set out to resolve the trade off that many researchers settle for, which is a faster, but less precise, vehicle or a boxier one that is not as fast and more difficult to transport to work locations."
Manned and unmanned underwater vehicles enable scientific researchers to explore ecosystems around the globe, from undersea volcanoes near Hawaii to the frigid depths beneath pack ice in the North and South poles. However, while the torpedo shape of some underwater vehicles ensures rapid deployment and high cruising speeds with minimal energy, their hydrodynamic design makes them more difficult to maneuver or dock at low speeds and in tight spaces, or to hover in precise locations.
Underwater craft with boxier designs are easier to dock and maneuver, but speed is sacrificed in the process. The vortex thrusters designed by CU-Boulder researchers offer speed with versatility and may enable researchers to explore previously inaccessible places. Currently, many designers are trying to devise better docking systems for underwater vehicles, but Mohseni said he and his collaborators wanted to improve the watercrafts' actual maneuvering capabilities.
"We didn't want to treat the symptom alone," he said. "We made it our goal to resolve a widespread problem."
Mohseni created his new generators after studying the formation of vortex rings, much like those formed by squid and jellyfish to move themselves underwater. Vortex rings are formed when a burst of fluid shoots out of an opening, moving in one direction and spreading out as it curls back.
The researcher's nature-inspired vortex generators could be used in a wide array of applications. One of them, a seeming take-off of technology featured in the sci-fi cult classics "Fantastic Voyage" and "Innerspace," employs tiny capsules that could travel through the human digestive tract to diagnose and treat diseases and disperse medications.
To date, Mohseni and his collaborators in the CU-Boulder aerospace engineering department have designed and tested three separate unmanned underwater vehicles. With the latest model, the team successfully conducted a parallel parking test. The team also has designed a series of other micro vehicles for air and underwater use. A National Science Foundation grant is funding their research.

In Australia, Blackface Is Still Only Slightly Offensive
Last night an Australian variety show aired a skit with five men in blackface performing as the Jackson 5. And the audience cheered! Thank goodness Harry Connick Jr was there to be the voice of reason.
The show was a live reunion special for Hey Hey, It's Saturday, a popular and long-running program down under that was cancelled a decade ago. During their Red Faces segment, which is similar to the American version of The Gong Show, six doctors performed a choreographed number in blackface and afro wigs pretending to be the Jackson 5. Thankfully, one of the judges hit the gong shortly into the number.
But what did the crowd do when they stopped the music. They booed! Harry Connick Jr, one of the guest judges gave the team a zero score and the judge who gonged gave them a one, even though the crowd was roaring to give them a 10! One female judge gave them a 7 out of 10 because she is apparently ignorant or, beause she's a sweet female sitting between two men judging a singing competition she thought she was Paula Abdul and took a handful of pill before the broadcast, so she didn't know better.
The amazing thing is that, as the show tells us, in 1989, the same group doing a very similar act won the competition! So, in 20 years, we've gone from this offensive form of comedy being wildly popular to being still popular with the masses, even though some people know better. In America, blackface is one of those things that you can only show if you're talking about how awful it is because, well, it is pretty awful. Sure, there are culture differences, but it's not like they don't have black folks in Australia who would get pissed off by this.
Luckily, they gave Connick some time at the end of the show to say that he wouldn't have done the show if he knew there was going to be such an act. "[Americans] have spent so much time trying to not make black people not look like buffoons, that when we see something like that we really take it to heart." Wow, and American is being the voice of cultural sensitivity? Australia must be really messed up.

Buying fake goods online carries increased identity theft risk
The 'there's more at stake when it's a fake' campaign warns shoppers that buying fake goods online could result in identity fraud with personal details being used for scammers to set up new fake websites in the victim's name.
In the last two years alone 400 people have reportedly had their personal details used to open fraudulent websites as a result of buying counterfeit goods online according to the City of London Police's Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) who launched the new campaign.
Identity theft remains an increasing problem in the UK with Action Fraud receiving over 15,000 reports linked to identity crime in the last year (April 2017 - March 2017).

How to make a successful relationship? Keep reading. For Babies: 1. If you're able, start preparing your kitty for a baby before the baby arrives. Start using the lotions and creams you plan to use for the baby. If possible, invite friends' babies over or get a recording of a baby crying. If you plan to shut the door to the baby's room when he arrives, close the door NOW to reduce the chance of the cat resenting the actual child. 2. Cats pick up on our emotions. If you are tense when the cat and baby are together, the cat will suspect that the baby is something to fear. Instead, give lots of treats and praise; let the cat know you still love her! 3. If you're holding the baby, have a laser pointer or stick toy at hand. If possible have treats. Playing with the kitty or giving him treats will create positive associations with the bundle in your hands. DO NOT shoo the cat away from the baby. 4. If the cat approaches the baby, be calm, encouraging, and give lots of praise. In the unlikely situation that the cat swats your baby, do not worry – cats rarely use their claws. To them, the baby is similar to another cat and they feel the need to establish dominance. Closely monitor, but do not yell or punish. Make as many positive experiences as you can between the cat and the baby! For Older Children: Please teach older kids to be gentle with cats. Show them how to play with cats appropriately; using wand/stick toys or tossing mice or balls for the cat is a wonderful way for kids to interact and bond with cats. Teach kids that cats prefer to approach humans; not the other way around. If, by chance, a cat scratches or bites your child, the cat is letting the child know that she wants to be left alone. To decrease chances of injury, keep your kitty's claws clipped. Cats are such a wonderful addition to any family, no matter the makeup of the family. Simple steps like the above can be taken to make everyone's transition as smooth and harmonious as possible.
