This was an impromptu attempt to use up some turnip greens. I guess it is a kind of ohitashi.
1 small bunch turnip or other greens
Boil until done to your liking, drain and chop
2 tbsp white miso
1 tbsp mustard powder
about 1 tbsp mirin or cooking water, to smooth the sauce
mix this together until smooth and mix in with the chopped greens
This much mustard powder makes it very hot. You could cut back.
I love turnip greens and this looks like a delicious way to eat them.
Unfortunately, I find it really, really difficult to get hold of this vegetable. When I do see them, they're rarely organic and I have concerns as to how much pesticide there is on the leaves as so few people in England seem to eat them.
Nozawana pickles are amongst my favourite kinds. I can't wait until the day I get a garden or allotment I can grow turnips in, mainly so I can eat the greens. Hopefully I'll remember miso/mirin and a little mustard for the next time I can get my hands on these elusive leafy stalks.
You can soak them in a big bowl full of water with a drop (just a drop!!!!!!) of bleach to kill all the bacteria and wash them very well with water afterwards.... I guess it would do the trick :)

In this case my concern would be pesticides not bacteria. Goodness knows what would be used on a crop where only what grows underground is expected to be consumed.
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm from Alabama and live in Georgia, so I can't imagine life without greens! You might could do this with watercress, too.

I'm trying to get creative with some of the leftover holiday food in my refrigerator. I don't want to waste the money I spent on the food, and the environmental impact of wasted food is high. The other night, we tried our hand at making our own queso dip that wasn't half bad and saved half a container of sour cream and a block of cheddar cheese (both from a party two weeks ago) from going unused.
Yesterday, I decided I needed to use the cranberry sauce that was still in the refrigerator. I recalled running across recipes for chicken and cranberry sauce in the slow cooker from time to time, so I set out to find one that was workable for me.
Dinners For a Year had one that was simple enough, so I gave it a shot with one big change. Instead of using a package of onion soup mix, I found a homemade substitute for it on allrecipes.com and went with that instead. There are less mystery ingredients that way, but after looking at the beef bouillon ingredients, I realized there were still mystery ingredients. I think I need to find better bouillon for next future use.
Along with the cranberry chicken, I served leftover mashed potatoes from our New Year's Eve dinner (never as good the second time, but didn't want them to go to waste), and green beans. I was pleased to find that the sauce was delicious, and the meal went over well with the family.
- One whole chicken, cut apart, or about 3 pounds of your choice of chicken parts
- 1 can of cranberry sauce (jellied or whole berry), or the equivalent of homemade cranberry sauce
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 recipe for onion soup mix substitute (or onion soup mix)
- cornstarch, for thickening the sauce if you want to
- Place chicken in slow cooker.
- Mix together cranberry sauce, brown sugar, and onion soup mix – pour over chicken.
- Cook on low for 3-6 hours depending, or until chicken is done (reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer). If you use boneless chicken breasts, the cooking time will be on the lower end. If you use whole chicken pieces with the bones in, the cooking time will be longer.
- When chicken is done, if you'd like to thicken the sauce left in the slow cooker, transfer the sauce to a saucepan and thicken it with some cornstarch. Serve sauce over chicken.
- I used boneless, skinless chicken breast, but they turned out a bit dry. Next time I will use chicken thighs or cut up an entire chicken.
- I used jellied cranberry sauce so my sauce turned out pretty smooth (I also strained it before putting it in the saucepan). If you use whole berry your sauce won't be as smooth unless you choose to put it in a blender.

Karel Ceman vs Ivan Vladik
Two best friends, Karel Ceman and Ivan Vladik have been sparing together for years and know each other inside and out. Their styles aren't as similar as one would expect, but rather both using an opportunistic style that seems to tap every last rescore these two have. Performing a little warm up these boys then get down to business, the first few rounds pass quickly, but when a bottle of baby oil is smothered all over the boys is when it really gets interesting. Unable to hold a grip on the floor or anything else they grapple with each other; desperate to gain the upper hand, but just who will come out the victor is something you will have to wait to see.

If Anchorage, Alaska has anything going, it is its bike trails. Forgive my stating the obvious, but to enjoy those trails it would seem necessary to be able to ride a bike; those of us who have extra sets of small legs running around the house can appreciate the dilemma that having children can pose when all you want to do is get out and take a nice ride once in a while.
For the first time all my children are mobile enough to go biking with us. On Monday we drove down to Westchester Lagoon and started from there, biking north on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail to Elderberry Park. Turning around and biking back required the traditional detour to the Valley of the Moon park where we had the obligatory vain threats about not getting wet in Chester Creek which Spencer, of course, ignored (that's why we never step outside our home without extra pairs of pants—that's the kind of "wilderness survival skills" we're talking).
We've often taken the trail south down to Kincaid Park, but it doesn't really matter, any place along the trail where you can see across Cook Inlet out to Fire Island and enjoy the sun shining at 9:00 pm while you bike along green terrain, following the coast and the current is something you can't miss.
Riding bikes has always been the defining difference in our children's personalities. Grace likes to look at scenery. Period. Riding a bike just gets in the way for her in terms of the overall experience, as illustrated in one of our recent family bike rides. We were going downhill caravan style when we heard this colossal WHUMP-THUNK and looked back to see Grace end over end in the newly-hydroseeded ditches along the bike path. The six or seven inches of topsoil broke her fall but she came up rather green and fuzzy and dirty. I figured it was a sure thing to expect grass to start growing all over everything, jeans, tires, helmet, you name it. Something about a rolling stone gathering moss comes to mind. But I'm sure she had her eyes on the pretty flowers and birds singing and who-knows-what-else, anything but the road. I can't begin to think of what will happen when she graduates to cars.
Spencer took all of five minutes to learn to ride. Something along the lines of, "Dad, really, I can do it! Dad! I can do it! I can do it! JUST LET GO!" He's more coordinated and falls less, at least he has fewer minor scrapes and bumps. No, his falls tend to be truly spectacular—something that would do Evil Knievel proud—knowing Spencer he'll go out jumping the Grand Canyon. In fact, around here we use Spencer's bandage count as an indicator of the progression of summer. Luckily Alaskan summers are short enough we usually stop short of anything requiring reconstructive surgery. So far.
So, given all this, here are A Few Suggestions garnered from our hours of experience, case study and clinical testing:
Rule #1:
Get the Best Bikes Money Can Buy
I'm kidding. When Spencer was four and in a moment of misplaced maternal affection I went out and bought him a Big Wheel—remember those?—and soon feel victim to that infamous phrase "some assembly required." Andrew and I thought we'd quickly throw it together before we ran out and caught a movie, and like the organizational freaks we are we had all the parts laid out neatly and ready to go. We got to the "5/16-inch cap nut A" and made the critical decision to set it on the nearby rock wall while we wrestled with the remaining pieces, the result being that it felt down into the crevices between the rocks ("DO'H!"). We then spent most of the next hour dismantling the wall stone by stone in a futile effort to find said "5/16-inch cap nut A" missing the movie and instead making an emergency Home Depot run to replace the stupid piece.
That provoked a critical decision never to purchase an unassembled vehicle ever again and so far we've stuck to it. But unless you want to pay the equivalent of a month's salary for one lousy brand new bike, you're looking at garage sales. After a bit of hunting we've come up with five fabulous bikes from $10-$40 apiece—leaving us enough to cover the increase in insurance premiums our kinetically-challenged children have created.
Rule #2
Tracks are Pretty Darn Useful
We've also found tracks to be extremely helpful in teaching the kids to ride. Though it helps if no one else is using it. When Grace was five she'd drive around and around the track with her head swaying all around taking in the sights and paying no attention to the road in front of her (probably singing too if I know her). At one point she was circling the track while several kids were having track practice on one of the straight-aways. I had told her she could still ride around, but that when she came to the section where they were practicing she would have to be careful to avoid them (a symbiotic relationship, she needed to learn how to avoid pedestrians and what better way for them to improve their reflexes than by dodging a kid on a bike?) But I had to finally give up and call it quits because every time she came around the track (wobbling back and forth like a drunk) and got about 30 feet away instead of going neatly around them she would start screaming at top levels, "HEY WATCH OUT WATCH OUT I'M COMING!!!!!! I SAID WATCH OUT I'M COMING!!!!! GET OUTTA THE WAY!!!!!!"
Tracks have been an important part of our Mitton biking experience. When David had barely learned to ride I was concerned because he just wasn't reliable. I mean, staying upright is only half the job, right? In short, he could ride a bike if he were the only person around in the middle of a football field without another object or human being in sight AND if he had someone to start him up and help him stop and dismount. So for his First Official Post-Training Wheels Ride of the season I felt he'd best be served by heading over to Rabbit Creek Elementary and riding around the track there and practicing staying in the lanes. Boy! Getting over there was problem in itself, it was hardly a mile but you wouldn't believe how many mailboxes, cars, bikers, joggers, dogs and speed bumps we encountered en route. Every time he got spooked he'd wobble off the path and crash and I had to stop to help him get started again. By the time we got there we were getting tired but he did make good progress, practicing riding between the lane lines and going up on the sidewalk and down again, plus avoiding traffic. I even had him riding one direction and the rest of us riding in the opposite direction and he would have to avoid everyone. Then I decided to take the training up a notch and REALLY test his reflexes, so he'd ride by while the rest of us threw things at him—bottles, rock, clumps of dirt—Come on! THIS is how Lance Armstrong learned to ride so stop your crying and . . . no, I'm just kidding. No objects were thrown. But it certainly would have provided a memorable training experience. Hmmmmm . . . overall it went well, we had lessons in Starting By Oneself and Not Using Skin As a Breaking Surface. We had to call it quits when the other kids started grumbling about the never-changing scenery, going around and around.
Rule #3:
Technology Isn't a Bad Idea
When Grace wanted more freedom we considered implanting one of those homing chips under her skin, but eventually opted for some long-range walkie-talkies so she could ride all over the neighborhood and keep in contact—which of course prompted quite a bit of strutting in front of the younger brothers. We went through the whole "this isn't a toy" lecture (yea, right) and not goofing off with them, pretending to call for help, etc.
She set off one morning on her maiden voyage, checking in every few minutes to report. It worked like a dream until I got this fuzzy, incoherent, scrambled message and instantly jumped to the conclusion she was doing just what we'd forbidden, that she was trying to be funny and pretend she was in trouble. Then when it came in a second time it sounded as if she was scared of someone trying to come near her. By the third time I finally got out most of the translation which was something along the lines of (and with Grace it's always in caps): "MOM-I'M-BLEEDING-I'M-HURT-HELP-ME-QUICK!!"
So I jumped in the van and found her at the bottom of a big rocky hill in a heap, her face scraped and bloodied. She'd stopped the fall with her face and her lip was already twice its normal size (at least the part of it that I could see under all the dirt). Later that night Andrew and I gingerly chuckled, wondering if we were glad she'd had the radio. It helped us get to her and help her but if she hadn't had it she wouldn't have been at the park. That eternal parental dilemma of freedom v. danger, but then, how else are they going to get through childhood?

You have inspired me to fix my flat tire and get some bike trips in this summer. Zack still has training wheels. My kids are scared to death of crashing, so it is high drama all around getting them up and running.
Beautiful park, by the way.

"Fight Obesity With At Home Musical Fitness "Edutainment" Holla!"
At a time of economic and global uncertainty, the idea of fighting the battle-of-the-bulge may feel like an unnecessary burden. Gym memberships may not be in your radar during the face to face combat of paying those daily bills. Treadmill workouts, elliptical machines, spinning may not be your priority of the day. Needing to soothe oneself is at an all time high making the "high" in the evening more important than anything else. Yes, yes, I know, "pick your poison". What happened to the old time idea of sharing ourselves and feelings with family?
The idea of staying home and making life's daily motions convenient has never been more important or palatable for families. Finding stay at home "edutainment" ideas that can make us feel filled with energy and positiveness. Time spent with your spouse and the kids may start with the music. Walk or run in place while you spend time together eye ball to eye ball talking and sharing your day's events. Raise up that voice and "holla!". Get closer to one another.
Does family time have to be around a dinner table? Can't it be by simply looking at each other and helping to achieve a healthy sense of self?
Yes... spending time together as a family can be good for your health! Simple lifestyle changes such as movement are always spoken about. How about putting them into motion literally. Stretch, relaxation exercises, abdominal work can all be done together. Go ahead and complain while you do it. Why not? Misery loves company as the expression goes. No pain no gain, Honey! Keep that energy moving in your body and in your life. Pop on that track and never stop movin'!
Hear the music... feel the beat.... @126 beats per minute and HOLLA!

The legal deposit of digital spatial data in the United Kingdom
"Preserving digital information is becoming an increasingly urgent challenge for both libraries and publishers of books and journals, as the amount of digital information is growing quickly and preservation policies and techniques for this format remain unsettled. The need is pressing. While the costs of long-term archiving are high, the cost of doing nothing would be disastrous." (IFLA/IPA Steering Group, 2002).
Despite its importance for future generations, the last few years have seen only modest progress in obtaining digital data in UK legal deposit libraries (LDLs). Much has been discussed, and basic systems and agreements have been established, but progress has been limited by a number of political and technical problems. This paper attempts to set out what progress has been made and the various difficulties, from the perspective of the National Library of Scotland's involvement in the work.
The United Kingdom continues to lag behind many European countries, which during the 1990s enacted legislation for the deposit of non-print publications (Denmark 1999, France 1994, Latvia 1997, Norway 1990, Sweden 1993. See: Millea, 2001; Fleet, 1999). Although some of these agreements were voluntary (as in the Netherlands), and if compulsory often only covering fixed form or offline media rather than dynamic online datasets, infrastructure and mechanisms were usually established to manage and archive new digital publications. From the mid-1990s the UK's Working Party on Legal Deposit, under the Chairmanship of Sir Anthony Kenny, made recommendations to the Department of National Heritage and subsequently to the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS). However, it was not until September 1999 that the Code of practice for the voluntary deposit of non-print publications was finalised, which came into effect from 4 January 2000.
As the name implies, the Code of practice is voluntary and there is no legal obligation on publishers to comply with it. It only covers microform and offline electronic products, which are primarily text-based, or which are intended as information rather than entertainment products, and in addition, there are further exclusions. Deposit is not required if publication substantially duplicates the content of a print publication from the same publisher already deposited (which applies to several large cartographic publishers), if the publication is published for private internal use, or if it falls into various not-for-deposit categories, such as computer software, games, or film and video. It only covers publications distributed in the United Kingdom, or those first published in the United Kingdom.
The decision to deposit one copy for the British Library or multiple copies for the other legal deposit libraries is left with the publisher, although the National Libraries of Wales and Scotland can and have requested additional copies of items with significant Welsh/Scottish content/relevance. The result has been that the British Library (BL) has received the largest share of publications. For the first year (January to December 2000) the British Library received 365 offline monograph electronic publications (mainly CD-ROMs) and 235 serial titles, comprising 750 issues. The Agent for the Copyright Libraries received 342 items on CD-ROM or floppy disk (Joint Committee, 2001). By August 2002, the British Library reported that over 1,000 monographs and 850 serial titles had been received under the Code (Byford, 2002). Within the National Library of Scotland (NLS), there have been about 250 items received per year under the scheme, with a total of 539 items received by March 2002. With no national bibliography or centralised recording of electronic publications, it is difficult to know what proportions these represent of the total output, but the general consensus is that it is a relatively low one (Joint Committee, 2002).
Given the differences between publishers' and libraries' objectives, there have been several other problems. The publishers have been keen to ensure exemptions and exceptions, particularly for high-value items, and to highlight the effects of deposit on their commercial objectives. Whilst the original code allowed printing of electronic publications only to the maximum permitted under fair-dealing legislation (e.g. one chapter or one journal article and less than 5% of an item), and specifically excluded electronic downloading and saving, the publishers were keen to tighten this up, or negotiate arrangements on a title-by-title basis. Although all publishers were encouraged to supply metadata about their publications, on specially designed forms (see APPENDIX) relatively few of these forms have been filled in, with the result that library staff have had to do more work in processing items. With some justification, the publishers have also been concerned about the libraries' long-term strategies for archiving their publications, and their proposals for a secure network between the libraries. While the publishers are well-represented in the Joint Committee on Voluntary Deposit, with members from the Publishers' Association, the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers, the Periodical Publishers Association, and the Directory Publishers Association, sub-groups have been set up to investigate these problems in order to make progress.
In order that the Code allows for material to be deposited in one institution, and networked securely to other legal deposit libraries, there has been much ongoing work on building a secure network between the libraries. The proposed network would be based on a distributed architecture, with multiple digital stores, and use thin-client technology (Citrix MetaFrame and Microsoft Internet Explorer) to reduce volumes of data being transferred. Unfortunately, despite a well-prepared case, both bids to the Treasury's Invest to Save budget in 2000-2001 were unsuccessful, and since then work has been ongoing on a "proof of concept project" base. A practical mechanism for networking electronic items therefore still looks some way away from implementation.
There has also been ongoing work on the Digital Library System (DLS) to store, preserve and retrieve digital publications within the British Library. In the autumn of 2000, the BL signed a contract with IBM for the supply and development of this system, to be based on standard IBM hardware and software and using the Open Archive Information System (OAIS) model. There has been much work on metadata to be included in such as system, and discussions with other national systems, but uncertainties and problems delay its development.
Given the limitations of the voluntary code, and the belief that its purpose was primarily a pilot, there have also been continuing attempts to introduce legislation for the compulsory deposit of electronic publications. The DCMS put forward proposals for such legislation in November 2000, but the bid was not successful. From 1998, such new legislation requires a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA), noting in particular the costs of compliance to business, and publishers did not approve the BL's provisional Assessment. Since then there has been more extensive work, and a contract was awarded in 2002 to Electronic Publishing Services Ltd. to conduct a full RIA. In the autumn of 2002 there have been efforts to introduce new legislation through a 'handout bill' (in effect, a government-sponsored private-members' bill). Even if such proposals are successful, it's unlikely to take effect before 2004 (Bury, 2002).
Within the NLS Map Library, it is difficult to claim that more than a handful of electronic cartographic products have been received as a result of the Code. Of course, many cartographic publishers maintain and sell online datasets (not covered by the code) or supply paper print publications (Hydrographic Office, Automobile Association, Ordnance Survey small-medium scale mapping) in lieu of electronic products. Given the lack of expertise within the NLS over archiving electronic publications, the relatively low quantities of incoming electronic items is to be welcomed, and it is for this reason that the NLS still prefers to acquire conventional paper mapping over its electronic equivalents. However, such a situation undoubtedly means that some current electronic products are being lost to future generations.
Given the delays and limitations of the voluntary code, the six United Kingdom and Ireland LDL map libraries (Bodleian Library Oxford, British Library, Cambridge University Library, the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales, and Trinity College Dublin) have actively sought agreements for the supply of cartographic digital data. These relate to three main publishers: Ordnance Survey of Great Britain (OSGB), Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI), and Experian Goad. Whilst there has been considerable progress with OSGB data, there has, regrettably, been very little progress on OSNI and Experian Goad.
Ordnance Survey of Great Britain (OSGB)As described in Fleet (1999), there were long and protracted negotiations with OSGB over the supply of their digital data to legal deposit libraries. There were also several technical issues to resolve, such as the customisation of software to view the Ordnance Survey (OS) data, the need to archive and convert the Land-Line data, and the need to agree developments collectively between libraries, OS and the University of London Computer Centre (ULCC), the BL's preferred electronic archive. Nevertheless, the libraries were very grateful that OS was prepared to send their data to the LDLs, albeit with strictly controlled usage conditions and security agreements, given the absence of compulsory deposit legislation. The succeeding problems and delays in implementing the system have been primarily due to difficulties within libraries, and not to OS.
On the positive side, there has been progress on a number of fronts. Whilst the National Library of Scotland has run a pilot viewer system for the public from 1998, the other libraries have subsequently made progress, and the OS Viewer System has been set up to varying degrees in all other libraries during 2002. Several design modifications (tweaking certain functions) were agreed between the LDLs during 1999 and successfully implemented through Dotted Eyes, also (in the process) correcting several software bugs and problems. Although the delays to signing a security agreement between OS, BL and ULCC until August 2000, which resulted in a backlog of annual snapshots, progress during 2001-2002 has virtually cleared the backlogs, and LandLine data for 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 has all been converted and passed on to the LDLs. As the original agreement covered just LandLine topographic data (with no contours and limited height information), the OS agreed in August 2000 to supply LandForm profile data to libraries at no additional charge. During 2001 there was progress in re-customising the Viewer to incorporate and display this height information. Finally, the various security agreements between the LDLs and OS were finalised during 2000-2001, based on the BL/OS agreement of September 1999, the Viewer was licensed for the LDLs to use, and a support agreement was drawn up for the maintenance and troubleshooting of the software.
However, the progress has not been smooth or speedy, due to three related factors:
1. Political/resource problemsThe speed of developments have been influenced by the degree to which the British Library, specifically the Information Systems Department (IS), could devote time to OS digital data. As founders and owners of the Viewing software, as well as managers of the ULCC conversion and archiving, collective progress hinged on the BL. Other priorities within the BL, including reorganisation and job cuts as well as high turnover of staff within the IS meant that little progress was made at all during 1999 and 2000. In a couple of instances, BL IS staff moved on not long after gaining the required knowledge of the system. Following repeated requests from the LDL map libraries (as well as BL Map Library) it was only through official pressure through our librarians/chief executives that progress was eventually made at BL during 2001-2002.
Part of the problem also relates to the degree to which map libraries are seen as fringe concerns within their host institution, and indeed, the degree to which the libraries themselves are seen as a fringe concern to Ordnance Survey. The former problem varies between the LDLs, but within the NLS it has certainly caused difficulties in getting funding for hardware/software, and technical support for set up and maintenance. The latter problem is debatable, but in an online environment, libraries are tending to play a more peripheral role in distributing OS mapping information, and the demise of OS Consultative Committees in 2001 has denied BRICMICS its direct channel of communication and influence with OS.
The OS digital data exposed some of the contrasts between the LDLs. The NLS position has tended to see the OS digital data as a central part of its operations, with high usage by a range of present-day users, and therefore an impatience to implement the system as soon as possible. On the other hand, the BL position has perhaps seen it as a less central part of their present Map Library services, of greater interest and value in the long-term as an archive for historical research, and they have consequently been happier with a longer time-scale of implementation.
The net result of these factors is that the libraries have moved at a much slower pace than Ordnance Survey, and are actively implementing a system with data that we know will be superseded within the next few years. First, there were developments in LandLine in 1999 to allow the date stamping of feature codes. This information was considered to be of great value for future historians of the landscape and the LDLs, but would have required re-written conversion software to utilise. Given the problems mentioned above in getting so many more fundamental agreements and systems sorted out, this was not pursued, and the data is therefore not in the LDLs' systems. Second, and of greater importance, however, has been the development of the Digital National Framework during 2000-2001, a process whereby OS have re-engineered their entire large-scale database on a feature-based, rather than tile-based system. Marketed now as MasterMap, the new data allows much greater querying, linking, analysis, and real-world representation than the former LandLine system. However, its fundamental differences from LandLine mean that historical LandLine data cannot be migrated into the new format. Also integrating the two data formats for date comparisons within a single system would be very difficult, and even methods of quantifying change across data formats may need to alter. Whilst OS have promised to support LandLine for a few years until their customers have converted to using the new data, the LDLs have not yet started discussions over this transition. We have also not decided whether to integrate LandLine and MasterMap in one application, or keep them separate.
2. Technical problemsGiven the use of specialised and customised geographic software, and the need to convert, distribute and query a body of over 100 Gb of data (for three annual snapshots alone), technical problems were inevitable. Yet, arguably, these were not as significant as the political ones in hampering progress. The requirements placed by OS on what we could do with the data, and the lack of any suitable off-the-shelf product demanded that software was customised. Not only was this relatively expensive, with the need for maintenance and support from the Dotted Eyes, but we have also been somewhat tied to Dotted Eyes for future modifications and enhancements. It has also meant that relatively few people have much knowledge about the software, and even experienced IT staff takes time to gain familiarity with the system and its background. Real progress in sorting out systems at the BL in 2001-2002 has only happened with staff with a genuine desire to understand the system and sort out problems.
There have also been some difficulties in converting, transferring, and loading data through ULCC. Again, some of these have been due to the specialised nature of geographic data, whilst others have related to the different operating system used at ULCC (UNIX rather than Windows as in the LDLs), problems in reading DAT tapes, and difficulties in loading large volumes of data and the metadata related to it. (A typical annual snapshot can consist of over 220,000 tiles, which translates to nearly 900,000 MapInfo files). It is relevant to note that it was only through the ULCC noting data corruption in the 2001 snapshot from OS, that OS were made aware of this problem within their own archive.
3. CostsAlthough OS have not charged the libraries for the data itself, there are significant costs in converting, archiving and distributing the data, as well as supporting the Viewer:
|Cost of Annual OS update
|Conversion of annual update
Archival storage of source data*
Archival storage of converted data*
Supply of data to the LDLs
Viewer support contract
Cost per LDL
£ 700
In addition, the * items are cumulative annual costs that will grow on an annual basis along with the data. There are also ongoing special costs, such as the recustomisation of the Viewer to take PROFILE contours, which in 2001 cost ca. £8,000. To these costs, which fortunately are shared centrally between all 6 LDL libraries, are the costs for each library of appropriate hardware/software, and considerable staff time to convert data, training, and maintenance. Whilst the total annual costs have so far tended to be lower than the typical annual cost of mounting the SIM microfilms during the 1990s, the cumulative cost of digital data is significant. Even allowing for a conservative estimate of these costs, and the fact that a different process and archive might incur different charges, OS digital data is expensive, with steadily growing costs of archiving over time.
Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland (OSNI)As with OSGB, OSNI have moved to producing digital data instead of large-scale paper plans, and the LDLs were also interested (to differing degrees) in obtaining this digital data. Given the similarities in format (both used a tile-based National Transfer Format) and concerns over use, it was suggested to OSNI that the LDLs might use the OSGB arrangements and security agreements as a suitable template for receiving their data. With the delays in finalising these agreements, this proposal could not be put formally to OSNI until 2001, but they responded very positive. In principle, they were willing to supply their data to the libraries, and were keen to allow sample data to be tested. Unfortunately, the practical investigation of the data and conversion parameters, as well as tweaking the Viewer to use their data required central BL IS staff time, which has not been forthcoming, putting progress on hold during 2002.
Experian GoadLarge-scale Goad Fire Insurance Plans date back to the late 19th century for several British cities, and provide unique information on business premises, retail outlets, and industrial units through time. Many LDLs received these comprehensively from the late 1960s, with updates every year or two years, for ca. 1,200 UK city centres. Although the maps were supplied under legal deposit as (light-sensitive) dyeline prints, and therefore of low archival stability, the plans were a useful, more frequently updated addition to Ordnance Survey large-scale mapping for town centres. However, in 1998 Experian Goad informed the Copyright Libraries' Agent that as the plans were produced digitally, as printouts on demand, they were not conventionally published as copyright maps and therefore should not be supplied to the LDLs.
In 1999-2000 the LDLs response was to focus on getting OSGB data sorted out, with the hope of arranging something suitable with Experian Goad, such as obtaining digital Goad plans. The plans themselves can be read through MapInfo, the software used for viewing the OS data. Although there was enhanced querying and customisation facilities with the digital format, there were substantial costs of acquiring the data, and royalties for printouts. As no progress was made, and the Goad plans were not supplied to the LDLs from 1999, one LDL mentioned in 2001 that they had acquired a subset of Goad plans to at least continue their paper archive. Amongst other things this highlighted that the plans themselves did seem to carry a similar status to conventional paper publications, and therefore a formal letter was sent via the Copyright Agent in May 2002 to request again that Experian Goad deposit these plans.
With publishers' continuing and growing concerns over use of their data in libraries, which led to a reduction of their revenues, relatively few high-value items are being sent to libraries. It seems that real progress in digital deposit will only be made through compulsory legislation and/or with negotiated arrangements over usage and access. The following general conclusions can also be made:
|Given the lack of progress at both national library and map library levels, electronic cartographic publications in the UK are not being comprehensively acquired, made available to the public, or archived.
|Progress for map libraries has only really been made when people, with time and reasonable IT proficiency have been given responsibility for the work.
|Cartographic digital data is changing in format, media, and content faster than the LDLs can currently keep pace with.
|For cartographic publications, particularly those of high commercial value, direct negotiations between libraries and publishers may be essential in agreeing specific access and usage arrangements.
|Digital archiving is relatively expensive and complicated, especially when using non-standard software and specialised geographic data.
Whilst the LDLs have co-operated well and have shared certain costs, their conflicting priorities, inadequate distributed expertise, and the expense of duplicated systems within the LDLs have all caused problems. From the perspective of publishers and the BL, a centralised online supplier, along the lines of EDINA or MIMAS, would arguably be a more cost-effective, efficient way of managing electronic publications, able to keep pace with technology, and easier to manage.

I am not sure whether I want to believe this.
But, such is my fear for the sanity of the world, that a large part of me craves to.
The story goes that a woman went to vote in West Boca Raton, Fla., and caused a vast, unyielding commotion.
For she was wearing a T-shirt championing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
You might wonder why anyone would find such an august institution offensive.
Well, according to Boca Raton News Now, the T-shirt actually said "MIT" and that's presidential candidate Willard Mitt Romney's name isn't it? His middle one. The one he likes best.
Apparently the school is less familiar to one of the election supervisors in West Boca Raton, as the voter was allegedly declared to be campaigning. Which one mustn't do within a certain distance of the polling place.
It seems that after initially preventing the woman from exercising her rights, sense and spelling sensibility prevailed.
I have tried to contact the Palm Beach County Supervisor and will update, should I receive a reply.
Sometimes, one is glad that when mitigating circumstances are respected.

Adoption: Intercountry
Karen Smith Rotabi
The practice of intercountry adoption is considered from a historical framework, beginning with World War II to other conflicts and the global dynamics of child circulation for adoption. Significant sources of children are presented, including Russia, China, and Guatemala, as well as moratoriums related to poor practice and fraud. Framed from a social justice perspective, the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption is presented with an exploration of child sales and abduction into intercountry adoption. A global market for children creates significant practice challenges for social workers who engage in assessment, both in the country of child origin and in the destination country. Follow-up care includes case management to support families and children in the intercountry adoption process. In conclusion, the significant decline in the practice is reflected upon pragmatically; the need for true reform in the practice is necessary to preserve intercountry adoption for orphaned and vulnerable children.
African Americans: Immigrants of African Origin
Fariyal Ross-Sheriff and Tamarah Moss-Knight
The number and percentage of immigrants and refugees from Africa to the United States have increased substantially since the mid-1990s. Though still a relatively small percentage of the immigrant population, immigrants from Africa encounter many challenges that are important for social work professionals to address. This entry examines two groups of immigrants from Africa: legal migrants (immigrants) and refugees. It provides information on distinctive characteristics of recent African immigrants, reasons for emigration from Africa, challenges they face in the United States, and their settlement (geographical distribution) patterns. While black Africans are the focus of this entry, the research literature does not provide clear distinctions within the group of African immigrants. The emphasis is on black African immigrants to the United States as their experience is unique in terms of their race in America and the types of stigma and discrimination they face as a result. Critical issues for social work practice are examined through a case example of Somali refugees, followed by implications for social work practice and research.
Arab Americans
Kristine J. Ajrouch
This entry defines the term Arab American, followed by a discussion of the two waves of immigration: before 1924 and post-1965. A demographic overview is presented next, drawing from data available through analysis of the ancestry question on the long form of the United States Census. Previously invisible in the scholarly and practice literatures, key concerns related to stereotypes emanating through recent world events, assumptions about gender relations, and struggles concerning family relations are highlighted. Finally, practice implications are considered, with an emphasis on cultural sensitivity and social justice.
The term Arab American is relatively new, signifying a pan-ethnic term meant to capture a diverse group of people who differ with respect to national origins, religion, and historical experiences of migration to the United States. Arab American refers to those individuals whose ancestors arrived from Arab-speaking countries, including 22 nations in North Africa and West Asia. Religious faiths include both Christian and Muslim; Lebanon is the number one country of origin for Arab immigrants to the United States, followed by Syria and Egypt. Defined objectively, any individual with ancestral ties to an Arabic-speaking country may be considered an Arab American. This characterization, however, rests upon a language-based definition, obscuring the cultural and structural variations that differentiate those who fall within this pan-ethnic category (Ajrouch & Jamal, 2007).
Asset Building Toward Inclusive Policy
Michael Sherraden, Lissa Johnson, Margaret M. Clancy, Sondra G. Beverly, Margaret Sherrard Sherraden, Mark Schreiner, William Elliot III, Trina R. Williams Shanks, Deborah Adams, Jami Curley, Jin Huang, Michal Grinstein-Weiss, Yunju Nam, Min Zhan, and Chang-Keun Han
Since 1991, a new policy discussion has arisen in the United States and other countries, focusing on building assets as a complement to traditional social policy based on income. In fact, asset-based policy already existed (and still exists) in the United States, with large public subsidies. But the policy is regressive, benefiting the rich far more than the poor. The goal should be a universal, progressive, and lifelong asset-based policy. One promising pathway may be Child Development Accounts beginning at birth, with greater public deposits for the poorest children. If every child had an account, then eventually this could grow into a universal public policy across the life course.
Asylum Seekers, Refugees, and Immigrants in the United States
Miriam Potocky
This entry presents introductory information on asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants in the United States, including distinctions among them, major regions of origin, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, challenges in social and cultural adaptation, and best practices for social work with these populations.
Capacity Development and Building
DeBrenna LaFa Agbényiga
As a profession, social workers must understand and work well within the realms of capacity development. This understanding is important because it provides a foundation for working at the micro and macro levels to engage communities, organizations, systems, and individuals. However, the complexity of capacity development has made it difficult for social workers to fully engage from this stance. This entry discusses the historical development of capacity development and building while linking it to social justice. It also provides a theoretical perspective and methods for understanding and utilizing capacity development and building in social-work practice.
Charitable Foundations
Helmut K. Anheier and Marcus Lam
Foundations are private institutions for public benefit. With a long history that reaches back to antiquity, foundations are experiencing a renaissance and increased attention paid to them by policy makers. Already by the mid-1980s, observers had begun to report the end of the relative decline in the overall size and importance of the foundation sector—a trend that had characterized the previous decades. Some analysts suggest the possibility of a new, third "foundation wave," after a first growth period in the late Middle Ages, alongside the rise of commerce and finance, and a second period of growth in the late 19th century, following the industrial revolution. Political stability, an increase in demand for social, educational, and cultural services of all kinds, and economic prosperity are certainly significant factors behind this growth. Yet a more immediate reason is the way in which foundations have been suggesting themselves as instruments of welfare state reform in the broadest sense.
Child Labor
Usha Nayar, Priya Nayar, and Nidhi Mishra
The paper presents a global scenario of child labor by placing the issue in a historical context as well as comparing current work in the field. It specifically explains the psychosocial, political, and economic determinants of child labor and the prevalence of different forms as well as its magnitude in the different regions of the world. It features innovative programs and actions taken against child labor by local governments, civil societies, and United Nations bodies—mainly the International Labor Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund. The paper also highlights multilateral collaborations among the UN and other international agencies that stand against child labor in general and the employment of children in hazardous conditions. It illustrates the cooperation among local governments, civic organizations, and child-rights movements that have brought gradual changes over the decades toward ending child labor. Further, it suggests that social work, relevant professional schools, and associations working in various disciplines should be engaged in research-based advocacy and find innovative solutions to control child labor.
Children and Armed Conflict
Susan Mapp
The United Nations has defined six grave violations that occur in war that impact children: killing or maiming of children, recruitment or use of children as soldiers, sexual violence against children, attacks against schools or hospitals, denial of humanitarian access for children, and abduction of children. These violations have a myriad of negative impacts on children, including biological, psychological, and social effects. Culturally appropriate support and care provided at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels can help alleviate these impacts and help children recover from these experiences.
Community Development in Taiwan
Wan-I Lin
The United Nations has long promoted community development as a way to improve people's livelihoods and beautify the environment, and the concept was adopted as the main approach to social work in Taiwan between the 1960s and the 1980s. However, the government took a top-down directive approach and violated the principle of community participation, focusing more on physical construction than on human development. With the lifting of martial law in 1987 Taiwanese society has gradually moved in the direction of democracy, providing fertile ground for the concept of community building to take root, a development that will, in time, lead to the displacement of the term community development.

More like a shallow attempt to maintain some sense of justice/retribution after having written a gang-rape hentai (practically) in the first place.
I'm with Sound of Azure, can't feel happy about that chapter no matter what happened to the bastards who raped her. In the first place, if you think about it, you know that for every dick that rotted off, that's one more prick who raped her (in the short period of the last few days of her life)--and that was a lot of dicks.

Well yeah, that's just it, the sentinels just teamed up, so he's just gonna end the story without doing anything with that? And the fact that the story isn't going anywhere is more reason to continue it so it does go somewhere. I don't think anyone would mind him taking a hiatus for awhile if that's what it takes.
Again, is this just rumor or is it confirmed?

So the last proper "episode" chapter is fucked up gang rape, the next-to-last chapter has Fran being Fran (in two versions!) and a cute Veronica punchline ending, and the final chapter is a gentle recap of all the crazy shit we've been put through.
It's really Franken Fran.

Just read the last chapters, very random end, I think it could of been a lot better. : / I'm gonna miss the characters though, Fran, Gavrill, Veronica, very interesting trio.
Apparently the mangaka has a new series starting next month scissor women, hope it's just as good.

I just found out that an extra chapter from the last volume has been translated. And believe me, Veronica fans will love it.

Bennett College orders furloughs for staff
Bennett College orders furloughs for staff
The faculty and staff of a private women's college in Greensboro has been ordered to take 6 furlough days over the next two months.
The News & Record of Greensboro reported the furlough order for employees of Bennett College is designed to help close a budget deficit.
Interim President Esther Terry wrote late last months that all employees must take off two unpaid days in May and four more in June.
Terry would not talk about the furloughs or the size of the deficit.
Bennett is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and has 56 full-time faculty members and about 750 students.
Bennett is one of two historically black women's colleges in the country.

Cellular and molecular basis of human autoimmune disease
Research Summary
Role of the thymus in the pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis (MG)
Dr. Levinson analyzed the expression of acetylcholine receptors in the thymus in an effort to determine how intrathymic expression of this autoantigen may predispose to development of the prototypic autoimmune disease, myasthenia gravis (MG). His studies focused on the cellular localization of these receptors at the protein and mRNA levels, as well as their quantitation, and molecular regulation. He developed a mouse model of the intrathymic pathogenesis of MG, which suggested that an antecedent inflammatory response in the thymus augments lymphocyte trafficking back to this organ and leads to a breach of tolerance to locally expressed acetylcholine receptor.

Dr. Levinson studied the impact of a novel type of antigen, a B cell superantigen, on the immune system. Unlike a conventional antigen, a B cell superantigen has the potential to react with a large numbers of B cells or large amounts of soluble immunoglobulin. He found that the prototypic B cell superantigen, Staphylococcus aureus protein, activated the classical complement cascade in vitro and induced immune complex mediated tissue injury in vivo. His studies uncovered the molecular basis for this immunopathologic response. He subsequently discovereed that the proinflammatory effects of bacterial B cell superantigens may not be solely mediated by their interaction with the complement system given the fact that interaction with a toll-like receptor was the predominant mechanism in the case of a second B cell superantigen under study.
Additionally, Dr. Levinson has investigated mechanisms of human B cell activation and immunoregulatory abnormalities in patients with antibody deficiency syndromes.

Malaysia Airports Awarded For Organisational Excellence
17 December 2009
Sepang, 17 December 2009 - Malaysia Airports has received two awards last week which further acknowledge its commitment to achieving the highest standard
of business integrity, ethics and professionalism.
On 10 December, Malaysia Airports was awarded the Distinction Award in the Malaysian Corporate Governance Index 2009. Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad, Managing Director of Malaysia Airports, received the award on behalf of the company at the award presentation ceremony.
The inaugural Malaysian Corporate Governance Index aims to promote best practices in corporate governance among public-listed companies in Malaysia, and was organised by the Minority Shareholder Watchdog Group (MSWG) on 8 December.
Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad said: "We are pleased to be recognised by MSWG in the area of corporate governance. We believe in the positive effect of good corporate governance, which will ultimately strengthen the company's image, reputation and trust of various stakeholders."
He added: "This achievement also indicates that we are amongst the top 10 performers in corporate governance."
The second award is from the National Award for Management Accounting (NAfMA) 2009 where Malaysia Airports received the Best Practice Award (Public Listed Company).
Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad said: "The NAfMA award certifies that Malaysia Airports performed well in the criteria used, which are recognised internationally. It proves our commitment in improving management excellence and financial prudence. It is also a testimony of our commitment to promote management accounting as a strategic tool in our pursuit to provide a world class airport business."
The Best Practice Award was also an improvement for Malaysia Airports, having been awarded the Certificate of Merit in 2008.
In 2009, Malaysia Airports received numerous awards for airport operations, branding, environment, corporate responsibility and corporate governance. These two latest awards further add feathers to its cap, and Malaysia Airports will strive for a better overall performance in the year 2010.

Coffee flavored Gelato @ Rakuichi Market, Kiramesse Muroto

At Florida International University, Miami-Dade lawmakers are graduation mainstays
No, that wasn't an official meeting of the Miami-Dade legislative delegation at FIU earlier this month — it was just graduation ceremonies. But there certainly were a lot of lawmakers there.
Spread out over the first week of August were five FIU summer commencement ceremonies — with four of them featuring local lawmakers as the commencement speaker. Local state Sen. Anitere Flores was the first to deliver a speech, followed by state Rep. Jose Felix Diaz later that day, and state Reps. Jeanette Nuñez and Erik Fresen the following day.
These are the same lawmakers who make funding decisions regarding FIU every year. Asked if the university was trying to cozy up to lawmakers, FIU spokeswoman Madeline Baro said the legislators actually gave really good speeches, and "we have a great relationship with the Dade Delegation."
Flores, who is both an FIU grad and previously worked for the university, told graduates that her mom was part of FIU's first graduating class. She expressed hope that one of the graduates in attendance might discover the cure for cancer, or be the one "that figures out how for it to not to take an hour to get from Kendall to downtown."

More than any other type of jewelry, rings have a significant social and cultural value. Not only does it enhance the beauty and appearance of your hand and fingers, but it conveys details about your status. For example, wearing a ring on the ring finger of your left hand signifies being engaged or married. Similarly, wearing a ring on the pinky finger of your left hand indicates membership in a group such as a sorority, fraternity or even the Mafia.
Rings can easily complement and elevate your ensemble. For instance, if you are heading to a fancy social event, you will likely wear an elegant outfit. A mid-sized gemstone ring set in an intricately designed silver setting, placed on the middle finger of a manicured hand will make a striking statement. For a casual night out, consider wearing a Spinner ring and or a more subtle gemstone ring set in a simple, sterling silver setting is a good way to pull your look together.
Wearing a ring is a matter of personal preference. Ask yourself, what do you want your appearance to convey about you? In essence, you are what you wear!

Personal connection makes a difference
Hurricane Sandy that recently hit the East Coast has had an impact on third graders at Skyline Schools.
Carrie Harrold and Bjorn Halderson's students took up a project to raise money for a family that was affected by the devastating natural disaster. The classes decided to adopt a family that was living in Long Island when the storm hit. Harrold heard about their story through ties with family members.
"I think it makes a difference that we have a personal connection," Harrold said.
The family has a fourth grade daughter and a one-year-old. They were living in an area where the flood hit unexpectedly. Everything was lost causing them to relocate to New Jersey. The fourth grade girl was very traumatized after the disaster.
The teachers couldn't pass up the chance to teach their students the valuable lesson of helping others. Notes were sent home to parents, and the faculty at the school was informed of the project.
The classes quickly began receiving donations for the family. With Christmas just around the corner, some of the money received will go to purchase gifts for the family.
The donations came from a variety of people who were willing to help. The kids themselves, parents and teachers sent in money for the cause. The first graders donated a substantial amount of money from the funds that were raised at their bake sale.
The third graders quit accepting donations on Friday. Harrold will place an online order for the gifts. The purchases will be shipped directly to the family in New Jersey. Directly sending to the family saves on shipping costs.
"They are really excited to help," Harrold said.
She believes the third graders have learned by getting into the giving spirit. In the past the classes have picked out children from the Angel Tree as a project to help others. However, this project is different because the kids don't actually get to see the final purchases.
The kids are learning to help and don't care "that they won't lay eyes on the items," Harrold said.
Third grader Angel Diaz donated $15 in quarters from his own piggy bank. He said he just wanted them to have a great Christmas.
"I hope they get to have a good home," Diaz said.
