Incoming Letter Mail
Letter mail is delivered to Barnard every Monday-Friday and is generally placed into student mailboxes by noon. To the extent that space permits, Mail Services will also use your mailbox for large envelopes and small packages that do not require a signature. If an item does not fit, we will treat it like a signature-required item.
Incoming Package Mail
Packages are brought to Barnard at varying times throughout the day. When you receive a package or item requiring a signature, you are automatically sent a WITS Automated Email, and a printed Notification Slip is placed in your mailbox. The email is simply an alert to you from our Package Tracking software to expect a package, whereas the mailbox notice indicates that the package is ready for pickup at the service window.
You must present your Barnard I.D. and your printed Notification Slip at the service window to retrieve your package. Please do not come to the service window until you receive the notification slip.
Mail Services will hold your package for two weeks, after which we send you a final notice. Any package may be "returned to sender" if it is left in Mail Services for three weeks or longer without any further warning. (Items are not returned over winter and spring breaks.)
Under exceptional circumstance, you may ask another student to pick up a package for you. In those cases, you must send an email to Mail Services (firstname.lastname@example.com) giving the full name of the person who will act as your proxy for that item only—this is not a general proxy. You must send this email from your Barnard email account, and your proxy must present his/her I.D. at the service window.
If you open your package in the Mail Services alcove, please break down your carton and throw it in one of the blue or yellow paper recycling bins.
Carts and hand-trucks may be borrowed for up to 30 minutes for the Quad, 600's and Elliott residences and for up to 45 minutes for Plimpton and 110th St residence halls. Your Barnard I.D. will be kept at the service window until the cart or truck is returned. All borrowed items must be returned at least 15 minutes before Mail Services closes.

From carving roasts to cutting large vegetables and fruits, this slicer's long blade is a great choice. Particularly well suited to slicing roasts and hams.
The damascus blade was hand forged from 1095 and 4130 carbon steels, the many layers creating a dramatic wood grain texture on the sides.

This Spring 2015 Semester I will be teaching three courses, described as follows:
English 6055: Multimodal Literature in the Digital Age
This course is concerned with multimodal literary expression in an age of digital media—a set of technologies which allow for the integrated representation of visual, textual, and aural information. The course will explore ways in which digital media can represent traditional literary texts beyond the capabilities of print by providing access to archival and manuscript materials in multimodal representations while offering new tools for their study. It will also investigate how digital media remediates and reinvents comics, placing them in conversation with born-digital genres, such as webcomics, HTML5 comics, memes, animated GIFs, and video games. The course will also survey genres of electronic literature—language-based engagements of digital media's multimodal and programmable capabilities.
Mondays, from 6:30 – 9:00 pm.
Advanced undergraduate students welcomed!
English 3325: Modern Poetry
This course will explore Modernism as a poetic movement with antecedents in the 19th Century, a chief lines of development during the early to mid 20th Century, a counter-movement in the second half of the 20th Century, and a poetics that continues into the 21st century, with Digital Modernism. Special attention will be given to the major works and literary schools collectively understood to be part of the Modern poetic literary movements in English and American literature.
Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays, from 9:30 -10:20 am.
Some spots reserved for English majors. Go to English Department.
INTD 4995: Digital Humanities Internship
This internship will provide hands-on work experience on several Digital Humanities projects I am currently developing, primarily I ♥ E-Poetry, the CELL project, the Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3, the English Department, and the Fulbright @ UPRM websites. The work will involve developing and tagging files with metadata, working on link structures, describing born-digital materials, learning how to use open-source software like WordPress to build collections, knowledge bases, and resources, preparing data sets for visualizations, developing Web resources, brochures, posters, and other related Digital Humanities work.
Meet 1.5 hours/week (TBA), work on your own 7.5 hours/week.
Enrollment by invitation only. Contact me if you're interested.

Madison House Presents and M Theory, who are working together to bring music artists like the Zac Brown Band to the tennis stadium, did their best to ease the concerns of the local business owners who were not impressed with some aspects of the Mumford and Sons concert last summer.
Meeting attendees commented on getting more tickets to local residents, making sure local businesses besides bars and restaurants were advertised and would benefit from the concerts, and keeping the disruption to the community on the day of the concert reasonable.
"I have a lot of customers who are not going, and they're not happy about it, and they live in the neighborhood," Mike Mansfield, owner of Banter Irish Bar and Kitchen, said.
"I think the best way to do it is to make sure you take care of the people here first," Mansfield added, "If you make them happy, then they're not going to be as upset if they see something. They won't say anything about the noise leaving the stadium if they're the ones leaving the stadium."
President of Madison House Presents Mike Luba said that in the future they will send out a pre-sale link to people in the immediate vicinity of the stadium, which will hopefully assist in getting people from the neighborhood more tickets to the shows.
Meanwhile, president of the Chamber of Commerce Leslie Brown wants to try to find a way to bring benefits to other businesses in Forest Hills.
"We're excited about it. We know already from the first [concert] that they had that it's a great, great boost to the bars and restaurants," Brown said. "They were just thrilled with the amount of business they had. As far as the other stores go, it doesn't really have an impact on them because people really want to get to the concert. We're hoping the exposure will get people back to the Forest Hills area."
Raquel Diaz and Susana Giberga, who own Dirty Pierre's and The Other Place and will be serving their own food at the concert, confirmed the excitement shared by bars and restaurants in the area.
In particular, business owners are excited to have the opportunity to have food stands at the concert grounds, which was not an option offered to them last year.
"It looks promising, more than we ever had approached to us last year," Diaz said. "So it's getting better."
For other businesses, advertising opportunities are available through the concert series using multiple avenues ranging from printed ads in the concerts' newsletters to VIP gifting or complimentary tickets for giveaways.
While a number of business owners walked away feeling the meeting had been helpful, everyone seemed to acknowledge that it was only the beginning.
"I think any conversation is productive," Luba said. "It was the first step in the right direction."
The first show of the summer is the Zac Brown Band on June 21.

A high school experience often involves a certain amount of time spent in parking lots. Hanging out waiting for friends, waiting for a ride, waiting to make plans to do something—anything—outside of one's house. At least, that's what I recall from my own youth, and what I see repeating itself in most towns on any given Saturday night—or Tuesday afternoon, for that matter.
The In-Sight Photography Project in Brattleboro began harnessing that youthful energy—and vast amounts of free time—20 years ago, when John Willis and Bill Ledger started offering photography classes and materials to any teen in Brattleboro who cared to learn what it takes to compose a photo, develop negatives, or, now, produce a crisp digital print.
By now, the program has had over 2,500 participants and offers three semesters of classes on a sliding scale to students aged 11 to 18. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
The atmosphere at the headquarters is laid back and comfortable: liberal arts college classroom meets an artsy summer camp. The maze of rooms and closets is located off Flat Street in downtown Brattleboro; a group of teens and adults meandered nearby as I entered on a recent Friday afternoon. Hundreds of Polaroid pictures of past students and teachers line the walls of the classroom, and each small room is organized for a certain purpose: digital printing lab, film changing closet, a darkroom with eight enlargers.
As director Stephen Dybas gives me the tour, he explains the allure of photography to anyone looking to express themselves creatively: "With photography, you can jump right in. I think one of the wonderful things about it is, it's a tangible art form. You can have that feedback so quickly, and you can get a basic sense of the process and think about using it in a creative manner."
He's young, with a shaved head and glasses, and talks enthusiastically as he points out the equipment. Sophia LaCava-Bohanan, assistant director, joins in. "I think there's something significant about youth understanding and recognizing the voice that they already have," she explains excitedly, a sparkle in her eye. "And the immediacy of photography allows that process to happen much quicker."
The gallery next door, in contrast to the cozy and colorful workspace, is expansive and elegant, with wooden floors and white walls that will soon be filled from floor to ceiling for the program's Annual Silent Auction and Exhibition, one of its main fundraisers of the year.
Last year 300 prints were donated to the exhibit, ranging from professional photographers' work to that of current students. This approach, LaCava-Bohanan points out, is crucial to the program's mission to encourage accessibility to all. The resulting variety is outstanding.
"It has everything under the sun. It's overwhelming, the variety of work you can see and experience," says Dybas as he shows me the piles of framed art ready to be hung. "Every time I go in I see something new."
The show runs throughout October and provides a significant amount of the funding available for scholarships for the upcoming year.
John Willis, now executive director and professor of photography at Marlboro College, helps gain attention from nationally known photographers for the event. But, says Dybas, a lot of the success has to do with the services In-Sight provides. "In-Sight is very unique," he explains. "Most organizations like ourselves exist in major cities, not in small towns or rural America. So a lot of photographers appreciate the fact that we're here and our mission is that we don't turn anyone away."
In-Sight has a broader mission than teaching basic photography to local youth. The program has developed a mobile lab that brings courses and materials further afield, working with other groups in Marlboro, Bellows Falls, and beyond to bring the courses to students who can't get to downtown Brattleboro.
On a national scale, In-Sight is part of the Exposures program, a cross-cultural youth arts exchange operating at several facilities across the country. Through photographing their known worlds, students interact with others from vastly different regions and backgrounds.
In their curriculum, In-Sight's outlook is wide-reaching as well. Photography books line the shelves in the classroom, and as LaCava-Bohanan says, students "have to learn to read in order to write, so we take the time to develop that visual vocabulary to be able to read images before they create them."
As part of the curriculum, staff also encourage students to think critically about the use of photography in advertising—often targeted at them. "We ask, 'What's being used or done here?' so they can start to get a grasp of photography not just as a creative arts form, but how it's used in our society," explains Dybas.
The program, then, seems to be far beyond the original mission to bring youth in off the sidewalks. In-Sight is producing creative, critical thinkers. "We're not only helping kids, but we're fostering the next generation of photographers," Dybas summarizes. It seems they're fostering the next generation of responsible citizens as well.?
In-Sight's next session of courses begins October 8; the Silent Auction and Exhibit will run throughout October. http://www.In-Sight-photography.org.

CONCORD — The Senate heeded warnings Wednesday that legislation blocking public funding to abortion providers could jeopardize New Hampshire's Medicaid program and effectively killed the bill.
CONCORD — The Senate heeded warnings Wednesday that legislation blocking public funding to abortion providers could jeopardize New Hampshire's Medicaid program and effectively killed the bill.
The Senate voted 17-6 without debate to table the bill; Senate President Peter Bragdon said no further action is expected.
The Republican-controlled Senate voted 18-5 along party lines to pass a ban on partial-birth abortions, which are already banned by federal law, sending it back to the House with amendments. The Senate also voted without debate to establish a committee to determine a method to collect abortion statistics and sent the bill to Democratic Gov. John Lynch.
Lynch spokesman James Richardson said the governor, who supports abortion rights, is reviewing the partial-birth abortion bill, but did not say whether he would veto it.
The Senate voted 12-11 to kill a bill requiring a 24-hour wait for an abortion. It voted 15-8 to study banning abortions after 20 weeks and 19-4 to study giving employers with religious objections the power to exclude contraceptive coverage from health plans.
The Senate rarely studies bills, and the votes were considered by many as a polite way to kill the House-passed bills.
"This legislative session has been marred by attacks on women's health and privacy, but today's votes signify a return to the Granite State's long, proud tradition of trusting women to make their own personal, private health care decisions in consultation with their doctors, family, and clergy," said Elizabeth Hager, NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire PAC chair.
The bill to cut off taxpayer funding includes hospitals, but a Senate committee recommended amending it to exempt hospitals and bar funding to clinics and others who perform elective abortions.
That would end funding to six Planned Parenthood of Northern New England centers and several other rural health clinics. The Senate did not vote on the amendment.
Supporters argued exempting hospitals would lessen the risk to the Medicaid program, but Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas disagreed. About half the $1.4 billion New Hampshire spends annually on Medicaid, a state-federal program that includes services to the disabled, mentally ill, women, children and the elderly in nursing homes, is federal money.
Similar attempts to end public funding to health care providers in Texas, Kansas and Indiana have resulted in litigation.
Ohio Republicans had proposed cutting off funding to dozens of Planned Parenthood centers, but pulled the measure this week from a midterm budget bill. This week, Arizona lawmakers voted to cut off Planned Parenthood's access to taxpayer money.
The Senate spent the most time Wednesday on the bill to require pregnant women to wait 24 hours before getting an abortion.
State Sen. Fenton Groen, R-Rochester, pleaded with his colleagues to ensure women have time to think about choices they may later regret.
"They should know that at 10 weeks, 12 weeks, there's a heartbeat. Babies have fingers and toes," he said.
But Senate Democratic Leader Sylvia Larsen of Concord said women are counseled now before making the decision.
"I would argue women make responsible decisions and will make responsible decisions without the government telling them they have to stop and think again," she said.
Supporters of banning abortions after 20 weeks argued medical science has progressed enough for the fetus to live outside the womb.
But opponents said some pregnancies have to be terminated after 20 weeks not because the mother did not want the baby but due to medical problems making carrying the baby to term impossible.
Before this year, New Hampshire's House had thwarted dozens of efforts to pass similar legislation since Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. New Hampshire had no laws regulating abortion on its books from 1997 to 2003, after abortion rights supporters succeeded in repealing three 1848 criminal abortion laws under then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat, and a more moderate Republican Legislature.
The state has consistently had agency rules in place banning most publicly funded abortions for poor women.
The one exception made by the House over the years was enactment — under a Republican governor and Legislature — of a parental notification law for minors in 2003. The measure was never implemented and was later repealed by Democrats. Republicans overrode Lynch's veto of a similar notification law last year, and it took effect in January.

"The Paradise Guest House," local author Ellen Sussman's latest novel, follows the lives of several fictional characters who've been irreparably impacted by the Balinese nightclub bombings.
For much of the novel, the leading protagonist is Jamie, a 32-year-old Californian who works as an adventure guide for a Berkeley-based travel company. Jamie was visiting Bali with her Chilean boyfriend, scouting out potential tour opportunities, when she was caught up in the terrorist attacks. After risking her life to help fellow victims and suffering injury, she was rescued by Gabe, an American ex-pat, and the two quickly formed a strong bond, only to lose each other soon after. One year later, Jamie, still traumatized by her experience, returns to Bali to seek closure, attend a memorial ceremony, confront her haunting memories and, she hopes, find Gabe.
In flashbacks, the reader learns of Jamie's childhood in Palo Alto (including references to local establishments such as the Stanford Park Hotel); how her father installed in her a love of adventure and then abandoned the family, leaving Jamie unwilling or unable to settle down; her overprotective but loving mother; her dissolving relationship with her beau, the doomed Miguel; and her close paternal relationship to her boss, Larson. When the book switches back to the present, Jamie meets her kindly Balinese host Nyoman (the owner of the titular guest house), who also suffered greatly in the attacks of the previous year, as well as the mischievous urchin Bambang, both of whom will help her make her peace with the stunningly beautiful but now tragedy-tainted island.
Midway through, the book's perspective shifts to that of Gabe. In a similar mix of flashback and contemporary narrative we discover Gabe's history as a Boston journalist and how family grief led him to leave the U.S. for a relaxed life as an elementary school teacher in Bali. Though he's closed off his heart due to his past losses, and Jamie's plagued by guilt over her survival in the face of others' deaths, the two find their defenses dropping as their connection deepens.
"The Paradise Guest House," with its blend of romance, adventure, action and history, could easily work as a motion picture, so don't be surprised to see it someday at a theater near you.
Sussman is an effective writer who keeps the plot developing at a quick pace. When (spoiler alert) Jamie and Gabe finally have their long-awaited reunion the emotional payoff is sweet. Her dialogue is occasionally clunky, especially when an Indonesian is comparing Balinese and Western culture, but on the whole the book is a pleasure to devour easily in a short period of time. It feels a bit wrong to use words such as "pleasure," "beach book" and so forth when the story deals with such tragic true events but, strange though it may seem, the gripping story nonetheless will make excellent summer reading.
It is to Sussman's credit that a book about a traveler's trip gone so very wrong still made me wish to travel to Bali. She captures Jamie's adventurous spirit and wanderlust and paints an affectionate picture of Bali as a place, though troubled by corruption, poverty and Western exploitation, well worthy of investigation.
At its heart, "The Paradise Guest House" is a lovely little novel about human connection in the face of humanity at its very worst. Since the bombings in Bali happened relatively quickly on the heels of the massive Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and on the other side of the world, American readers may not remember or know much of the events, and the novel serves as a poignant tribute and reminder to the lives lost and/or damaged in this faraway not-quite paradise.

During 2012, billionaire investor Warren Buffett put in a bid to buy a United States newspaper in the southeast. This was a mere three years after he mentioned that Berkshire Hathaway, his most influential holding company, no longer had any interest in investing in newspapers "at any price." "Very smart people looked at Buffett's offer and wondered what he saw in the declining industry that others did not," notes Benjamin Esty, professor at Roy and Elizabeth Simmons, along with Aldo Sesia, the senior case researcher of "Buffett's Bid for Media Generals Newspapers," which is a case study that is part of Esty's first-year finance course.
The motivation of Warren Buffett is one of the factors that Marshall Morton, CEO and president of Media General has to determine as part of the case. With only eight days left to pay a $225 million loan that could trigger a serious default on a loan agreement that was amended, Morton needed to take a serious long look at trends in the industry, other strategic considerations, the overall numbers, the interests of shareholders, a number of different financing options that could help him come up with a plan to save his business.
Since Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com fame recently acquired the Washington Post, as well as John Henry – sports mogul – acquiring the Boston Globe, there's been a tremendous amount of speculation regarding well-positioned investors making big bets on print media and its future. Esty believes this case is more powerful as a teaching tool as opposed to its topical appeal. "When asset values are declining as fast as they have been in the newspaper industry," explains Esty, "you have to make a bet on the future: Do you have a viable business strategy, and if so, is it one of growth, of maintenance, or of decline? Given your beliefs about the future, you then need to design a financial strategy that supports your business strategy. Media General is a real-life example of topics that we cover in our finance curriculum such as valuation, financing, and risk management, and it brings together financial strategy and business strategy, a confluence that has long been a focus of my own research."
This particular study outlines all of the various events that led to Morton considering Buffett's offer to purchase 63 newspapers from the company that is highly leveraged, which also experienced a decline in revenue by 31% over the last four years and a stock price that plunged 90%. The summary also includes the diminished curriculum of it newspapers in the United States as well as advertising revenue over a ten-year stretch, as readers began tapping into more immediate new sources like the Internet instead of relying on print. Couple this with rising costs of paper, labor and printing, the decreasing revenues and increased leverage throughout the industry while creating falling margins.
By the time 2011 came to a close, Media General, who also has interests in digital media and TV broadcasting, had a high level of debt regardless of capital expenditure cuts and a deep workforce. It found itself in a situation that led the company CFO to doubt that Media General would be able to comply with its loan covenants. The company's decision to sell its newspapers – that provided the ability to deliver the cash needed to comply with a time sensitive refinancing agreement – was announced to the world during February 2012.
"The company's difficult circumstances brought to mind one of my favorite Buffett quotes," shares Esty. "He once said: 'With few exceptions, when a manager with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for poor fundamental economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.' That sentiment made his Media General bid even more intriguing as a case study topic."
The offer made by Warren Buffett consisted of an asset agreement that would pay Media General $142 million for its daily and weekly newspapers as well as real estate holdings, plus a $400 million term loan credit agreement. When speculating about Buffett's change of heart regarding the ownership of newspapers, Esty shows us that Buffett excluded the Tampa Tribune, the largest newspaper owned by Media General. "In retrospect, his targeting just the smaller papers is a big clue about his forecast for the industry. Unlike regionals or big-city newspapers, small-town newspapers don't have a lot of competition or good substitutes."
Even Buffett himself quipped during the time of the Media General deal (which did transpire) was announced, "In Grand Island, Nebraska, everyone is interested in how the football team does. They're interested in who got married. They're maybe even more interested in who got divorced."

Warner Bros., a movie studio owned by the media conglomerate Time Warner, released Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird and The Witches. It released Where the Wild Things Are, which includes Jim Henson Creature Shop effects.
Jim Henson's daughter Lisa Henson worked for Warner Bros. during the 1980s.[1]
Warner Bros. is perhaps more famous for being the company that owns the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. The line that closed many of these cartoons, "Th-th-th-that's All, Folks!" was spoofed as "Th-th-that's Awful, Folks!" in The Muppets Go to the Movies.
In 2010, Warner Bros. acquired the rights to distribute Sesame Workshop properties on home video through their Warner Home Video division[2] and to manufacture video games based on the Sesame Street characters through Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. During the 1970s and 1980s, Warner Bros. Records released a number of Muppet and Sesame Street titles.
A Sesame Street parody intro (for The Lion King) was introduced as a "Walt Dizzy Film," with a small Warner Bros. shield-logo parody below (with the letters "WD" replacing "WB"), and an MGM-like circle with a chicken in the spot of the studio's trademark lion.

This gorgeous crystal and silver gilt perfume bottle is one of the highest quality pieces I've ever had. The ruby glass is all hand cut with a faceted design and flowers are engraved over that. The gilded silver bottom and top are both chased with the same flowers. The top makes a half turn to release, a bayonet style closure (you line up the pins with the openings and then twist). The ground glass stopper is a perfect fit and I'm sure is the original. The silver (top and bottom) is stamped with the boar's head hallmarks used on French 800/1000 pure silver. It has the maker's mark for Gaston Bardiés. He worked at 13 rue des Fontaines in Part from 1897 to 1914.
The silver is in outstanding condition as is the glass. There are no flakes, chips, cracks or other damage (including under the top). The bottle is clean and sparkly. It measures 4" high. The silver cup at the bottom is removable and could be used as a little jigger.

Location: Clearwater, FL
Since our move from Michigan to Florida, Brayden and Aliyah have been sharing a room and they've grown to love it. What I didn't love so much was the mesh of their two previous rooms, with Aliyah's bright pink and purple theme and Brayden's aqua and orange color palette...well, you can guess how well that all matched up.
So I set my mind to a new project (because I so need more on my plate right now, ha) that wouldn't cost much, that would be rental home friendly (meaning my husband didn't want to paint and wanted few holes), that would move Brayden from a toddler bed to a twin size bed and that would be a wonderful living space for my two littles to love together!
It was a small(ish) room, so we needed to make as much play space as possible, and so we created beds out of wood pallets, and used a tall shelf from IKEA to store all of their books and toys combined. We also made a free-standing magnetic chalk board so that they'd have an "art" area without taking up too much space or creating more holes in the wall by hanging anything. To create some whimsy, we added vintage touches, like the DIY comic book cloud mobile, wooden toys and their rocking horse in the corner. The new color scheme with plenty of white to brighten the space, red, yellow and touches of blue plays right into the quilts we have on their beds that tie it all together and make the entire room a bright and cheery place to be.

Aries - hahahahahahah I finally got the legendy Death Note. Though I love peace, using the Death Note is suppsed to be another way of seeking peace *open the Death Note and start to write names down*
Taurus - WTH is this? a notebook that can kill people? what's that anyway? IMPOSSIBLE!! *after 10 minutes* finish investigating* OK maybe i can just try using it....
Gemini -Death Note? wow seems pretty cool, haven't seen this thing before...I should have fun with it then, hmm maybe i should ask my friends to come over to have a look as well
Cancer - Who drops this on the floor? such beautiful designs and it looks pretty cool. Why dont I take it back to my room..but wait...the instructions..... a notebook that can kill people after their names are being written, how can it kill people, oh nooooooo their souls of the victims will haunt me forever!!!! maybe i should put it in a sacred place..
Leo - if I have this, i will be able to control the whole world...but i cant just kill people randomly, why dont i just tell people i have the power to control life and death so others will workship me
Virgo - Oh it is sooooo scary! *poke it with fingers* poke it again* Am i dead? maybe not. *pick it up and look at the first few page* so many instructions!!!!!! looks old anyway. It must be a fake one! *throw it away*
Libra - Oh. wow. Death note. Not worthy to have a look, none of my business. Oh someone is having lunch with me this afternoon , and a party tonight! That's great!
Scorpio - looks really mysterious *open it and read it page by page* Wow it has the ability to kill people. What should I do with it? Not that useful for me, but I cant jst give it away.....well maybe i can just keep it in secret and one day who knows i might need it
Sagittarus -Today must be my lucky day that I am able to find this thing ! But... I dont have any enemy, either do i want to kill people... What should I do?????/ I really should ask my friends to come and have a discussion on this, *the Death Note end up being just to put to one side - ignored*
Capricorn - I really shouldnt allow people to fnd out that i have teh Death Note. Absolutely not. If people find this out, they gonna blame everything bad on me. maybe i can use it once in a while, but be careful and not to rouse any suspicion. Just be cautious. Hey don;t look at me ! I dont have the Death Note! This is just my notebook for making biology notes.. I....
Aquarius - I am passion about peace, not violence. Why did you give me the Death Note!!! I cant give to others but i cant use it as well. but if there are someone really really bad....maybe..........maybe....maybe i can use the death Note to give justice to the world. It isnt a problem right?
Pisces *flick through Death Note* excuse me but can i change this to a notebook that can grant all my wishes? Everyone is equal in this world right? Of course i cant kill people! so i might be able to have a bargain with Ryuk and ask whether he can exchange this with three wishes...
(not longer active in CR)
Lol, wow I'm Aries and thats kind of accurate... I would be grateful for the Death Note but I wouldn't be like Light and become "God" or something as trivial as that.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Three Leaf Clover (cont.)
Your first order of business should be to breach the blown-open safe, so run through the door ahead of, go down the stairs, run down the corridor, and enter the torched safe. Grab the cash (you'll see a brief cutscene of Niko doing just that), and then Niko will automatically walk back to the ground level. After a bit more time, you'll be able to make a break for it. Get ready for one of the most intense gun battles in the entire game.
Now, to explain this part a little more in detail. There will be cops everywhere (you'll likely obtain a five-star wanted level at this point), and you're gonna make a break for it. You cannot boost any cars, so don't even bother. Instead, pay close attention to the on-screen prompts that will instruct you on what to do. The turquoise dots on the HUD represent team members, while the red dots represent hostile entities. Keep in mind that there are more hostile entities than just what's shown on the HUD, but the red dots represent enemies that must be killed for you to proceed.
As you work your way out of the bank, kill the plethora of cops ahead of you. You should be strapped with a great machinegun, as well as grenades. Conserve the latter, but understand that it's times like these, when you're surrounded by multiple cop cars and a plethora of cops, that they should be used. When you've cleared out enough enemies, you'll then be able to break to your right and down an alleyway to the next area.

Easing The Backup Burden
Posted by
Frank J. Ohlhorst
March 04, 2014
Backup and recovery has become a complex and tedious chore as the amount of data that needs to be backed up grows exponentially. New backup products try to reduce the burden with a focus on automation for speed and reliability. Case in point is Paragon Software, with the latest iteration of its Paragon Protect & Restore product.
Getting Started
Paragon Protect & Restore 3 features an easy-to-use, wizard-driven interface for installation. Each installable element is highlighted in the installer and administrators can pick and choose which features are needed. The installer package can be used to register the product, perform upgrades, access a digital copy of the manual, as well as get support from the company.
The product features an easily navigated main console, which is used to perform backups and restorations as well as some basic configuration chores, such as creating backup servers, adding bridges to virtual machine environments, adding target systems and defining backup jobs.
Defining a Backup Server
One of the major challenges facing administrators with complex backup solutions is where to keep the backup data; in the past, many relied on tape or other media to store those backups. Today's realities mean that tape may not be enough and other storage methodologies, such as hard drives, cloud storage or SSD technologies must be used. Simply put, selectable backup destinations are a critical feature to have today.
Paragon addresses this issue by making backup servers a primary component of the product and required as targets for backup jobs. They are easy to add to the backup platform and multiple target servers can be defined. Options for targets include traditional servers, as well as remote systems.
View Larger
An important consideration when selecting a backup server is performance. In other words, pick backup servers that offer ample bandwidth for backup jobs; performance over the wire is symbiotic with the bandwidth available. The product helps by providing information about the backup server, including space available on the target storage subsystems.
Primary and Secondary Storage
Backup destination selection can consist of many sub-features, which dictate speed, resiliency and overall storage costs; having additional choices (or tiers) create enhanced flexibility.
Protect & Restore offers a dual-tier storage infrastructure, which is designed to optimize the backup process by reducing the network traffic needed for simultaneous backups. The first-tier (primary) storage should reside as close to the target machines as possible, which ensures the highest backup or replication performance. Paragon claims that 90% of all restore operations occur while the local site is operational and only an individual machine requires restoration, meaning that the primary storage destination provides the best restore performance.
The second-tier (secondary) storage can be located off site (cloud, remote office location, etc.) and can serve as the disaster recovery (DR) site, which offers a path to the data if there is an outage.
[Get a primer on your options for moving backup, disaster recovery or business continuity processes to the cloud in "Data Protection In the Cloud: The Basics."]
What's more, individual machines can be restored from the second-tier if the local backup is not available. Ideally, the data protection process takes the form of first backing up (or replicating) all target machines to the primary, local storage. That minimizes the impact on the production environment. Primary backups are later copied (archived) to the secondary storage during a time that ensures minimum impact on the network.
Managing Machines and Their Roles
Backup products today must include some type of system management, which allows administrators to select backup sources, as well as targets. Administrators also must be able to quickly tell if a system is part of a backup policy or an independent entity that must be manually backed up. These management capabilities prove to be the best way to include systems, audit results and query the backup status of any system.
Paragon Protect & Restore incorporates an extensive endpoint management system that can inventory systems, as well organize those systems by groups, status, domains and several other selectable elements. System management offers drill-down capabilities, which can expose the hardware and various settings to administrators to better organize backup selection and management.
View Larger
Virtual Machine Backups & Replicas
With the explosion of virtual machines across enterprise data centers, backing up those virtual systems has become a critical part of any backup strategy, meaning that advanced backup products must not only back those virtual systems up, but also provide a means to restore those systems, quickly and efficiently, even if the original hardware is no longer available.
Paragon's product provides several tools to deal with those virtual machines, ranging from a wizard- driven policy creator, to bare-metal recovery wizards. Virtual machines can be backed up in an active state and then restored to different hardware if needed. The product also supports converting physical machines to virtual machines, creating a pathway to migrate systems to different platforms.
For busy enterprises, however, just backing up virtual machines may not be enough, especially if there is a business continuity concern. For those businesses, it's critical to provide a pathway that automates the failover of virtual systems, by automatically backing those systems up and creating an easily launched replica to replace services if the primary virtual machine goes down.
View Larger
Paragon offers several options to create replicas. Replicas are created using a VM replication policy, which is wizard driven. Designed to work hand-in-hand with VMware technologies, the products ability to create and manage replicas is supplemented by many of the hooks built into VMware's management products. That allows administrators to craft expansive replication policies that also improve backup, continuity and virtual machine management.

How it all works
Introducing infloox™, the website on influential people's influential works!
First, check out our tutorial videos!
Now, let's consider a specific example. Say, you are interested in Agatha Christie! infloox™ allows you to find:
- her favourite books or authors;
- the most famous readers of all her books, and why they liked them;
- whether one of her books served as an inspiration for some other book.
But that's not all! You can also search this website, to find the favourite readings of entire countries, regions, job types, cultural movements or groups in general. Do this through our "collective search" feature!
This example centered around Agatha Christie and, by extension, around one of her favourite authors: Charles Dickens. Of course, both happen to be writers of books; but this is just one example! You can find similar pages for any other types of famous persons: not only writers, but also politicians, movie actors, scientists, tycoons, jazz musicians, astronauts, impressionist painters, etc.—anyone who enjoyed reading or listening to music, or who might have been deeply impressed, influenced by one or more works in particular. That makes lots of famous people!
And if you want to find directly the influence of a work or author upon a famous person or upon another work, simply type both names or titles in the search box. For example: "bill clinton macbeth shakespeare".
Want to know more? Here's additional stuff on how this website works:
- The monkey
- know our vision—and what we want to accomplish!
- A bird's view
- what were you missing before infloox™ was invented?
- Methodology
- are we really that pedantic? Well, it's up to you to find out!
- Buzzwords
- welcome to the world of infloox™! Here are some of the buzzwords we use again and again throughout this website!
- OK. And after all this, you're still be puzzled? Here's what you may be asking yourself!
Note: the screencaps shown on this page are for illustrative purposes only.

Related to the last post.
In PvE, you can cap all of your raiding gear needs through running last tier's content in a solo fashion. (Not that you solo Zulroics, but you can queue for them solo if necessary.) If you have a raid team, it can be done with only part of your raid team, or you can queue for it and take your chances with the LFD too.
In PvP, you can only cap through running content in the largest group environment possible, requiring the most coordination of any PvP activity. Not only can you not do it solo, you can't even do it though your normal group if you prefer Arenas.
There are two very different philosophies at work here.
"I smell social engineering" is a phrase I picked up maybe 10 years ago from JWZ, who was talking about linux development of some ilk. Both of these point systems are directing players towards very specific content – Zulroics for PvE, Rated Battlegrounds for PvP – that have been introduced in Cataclysm, at the expense of other content that players seem to prefer.
Why? Is it to justify the development dollars in those projects? They have to amass so many hours of player time before an activity is justified?
The current system is a mess, and it's a mess because the rewards programs are trying to drive specific behavior that is counter to what the player base wants to do.
Good times.

|System: PSP
|Dev: Falcom
|Pub: XSEED
|Release: February 22, 2011
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p
by Becky Cunningham
Nihon Falcom, a Japanese developer, isn't well-known in North America, but localization and publishing company XSEED Games hopes to change that. XSEED is currently publishing games from two major Falcom series, the epic RPG series Legend of Heroes and the action RPG series Ys (pronounced "Yees.") Ys I & II Chronicles takes gamers to the beginning of the Ys series, introducing us to the courageous wandering flame-haired swordsman, Adol Christin. The two games basically tell a single story, with Ys II beginning immediately after the end of Ys I.
Ys I begins with Adol shipwrecked on a small island kingdom that has been isolated from the rest of the world by a mysterious "stormwall." There's the matter of a rampaging demon army to take care of, and Adol sets off to defeat the demons on a journey that will lead him to the mysterious Land of Ys in Ys II. The story is told in snippets, with just enough (and sometimes not enough) information to drive the player forward to the next goal. Fortunately, XSEED has done its usual solid localization job, allowing the personalities of the various colorful characters populating the world to shine through without going over the top with wackiness or Western cultural references. Although the player never spends much time with the secondary characters in the world of Ys, many of them are interesting and memorable, not to mention carefully cataloged in the game's "notes" menu.
Ys I and II Chronicles looks rather nice for a remake of two games that came out about twenty years ago. Still character portraits and backgrounds feature lovely, anime-style artwork. The towns, character sprites, and monsters are very crisp considering their small size, and some of the boss designs are appropriately grotesque. The wilderness and dungeon tilesets aren't anything special, but they set the mood for the areas they're depicting. Unfortunately, they're also quite repetitive within areas, which doesn't help when a player gets lost in the sprawling dungeons.
The sound design of the games is a standout, particularly for fans of 1980's metal music. There are three soundtracks to choose from, but the version created especially for this port by Falcom's in-house rock band is the highest quality and the most fun to listen to. It's worth wearing headphones while playing the game, particularly for the metal tracks that play in the game's combat-oriented areas. They contrast nicely with the haunting pieces that play during slower parts of the game, and add a sense of dynamism to the adventure. The sound effects in battle do what they should, providing satisfying collision sounds when Adol slams into an enemy. There is no voice acting in Ys I and II Chronicles, but considering the large cast of characters with only small amounts of dialogue amongst them, voice acting doesn't feel necessary.
As it's an action RPG, the heart of Ys I & II Chronicles is the battle system, which is refreshingly different from the norm. In order to damage enemies with his sword, Adol simply needs to slam into them, no button presses involved. If he hits them head-on, he takes damage, but if he hits them from the back, sides, or at an angle, he does damage. The enemies do their best to attack Adol head-on, so it can be challenging not to take damage. It's important to learn to kill enemies without taking damage, because the player's health will not regenerate in dungeons without an HP-regen item equipped, and HP recovery items are in short supply. Fortunately, with practice the player will become adept at the combat system, and there is a simple joy to be found in plowing sideways into hordes of demons. There are also several difficulty levels to choose from, assisting both reflex-impaired gamers and those seeking a hard-core challenge.
The boss battles in Ys are several orders of magnitude more difficult than ordinary fights, relying on learning patterns and finding openings in order to damage the boss without getting hurt. With the limited supply of health-regenerating items, many players will find themselves having to try a boss several times before successfully beating it. It's usually a good challenge though, feeling winnable as long as the player is leveled up enough and has the correct tools needed for the fight. Luckily, the game allows one to save anywhere, and the presence of a boss in the next room is telegraphed by unique doors, so it's easy to save right before engaging a boss.

Q. My son is about to join the school's football team, and I'm worried about some of the injuries involved. Can you tell me about concussions in young athletes?
Q. My son is about to join the school's football team, and I'm worried about some of the injuries involved. Can you tell me about concussions in young athletes?
A. I'm glad to address this question, because although sports are a great activity and a lot of fun, they can have some serious side effects. One type of injury that has been in the news recently is a concussion, and I will take some time to review this here.
Concussions occur when there is a blow or jolt to the head that transmits the force of the collision inside the skull to the brain. The sports that are most at risk for concussions include football, hockey, soccer, boxing and rugby. The risk of an athlete in one of these sports having a concussion can range between 10 and 20 percent per year.
The most common symptoms of a concussion after a mild traumatic brain injury include memory loss, confusion and headaches. These can occur immediately after the injury or be delayed by a few hours or a day. The injured athlete does not have to lose consciousness to sustain a concussion.
Other symptoms to look for after an injury include dizziness, nausea or vomiting. Anyone with an injury and the above symptoms should be immediately evaluated by medical professionals and have a follow-up with their primary care provider; it is important for them to rule out more serious injuries in addition to a concussion. Any athlete with a loss of consciousness or with other severe or refractory symptoms should have a full emergency room evaluation.
Athletes who have had a concussion should avoid all sports participation until completely symptom-free. After resolution of all symptoms, many people recommend a step-wise return to activity, with frequent assessment for return of any of the above symptoms with increasing activity. In general, return to full participation may be about one week after all symptoms have fully resolved. These guidelines are not fixed, and can vary based on the circumstance.
Most symptoms of a concussion will resolve within a few days of the injury, but can occasionally remain for a few weeks to a few months. Athletes who suffer a mild traumatic brain injury can have twice the risk for seizures in the five years after the injury.
Increasing attention in recent years has focused on the effects of multiple concussions in young athletes. There are no formal guidelines for athletes who suffer two or more concussions in a season, but in our practice we recommend halting all contact sports participation for at least the duration of the season after a second concussion.
There is some evidence that multiple concussions can lead to eventual personality changes, depression, speech or gait abnormalities and movement disorders. Complicating matters, studies show that each concussion an athlete suffers raises their risk for future concussions.
According to medical journal UpToDate, the increasing national awareness of the risks of concussions is leading to changes in the way we protect and care for our young athletes on and off the field. Many local school districts will conduct baseline neurologic and cognitive tests on athletes that can be repeated after an injury; you should inquire about the availability of these for your child as they can greatly assist medical professionals in diagnosing concussions.

Orenichi: An ok 4*, probally won't replace the current staple 4*s.

A thorn among three roses this instance. I'm loving Saki, Orenichi is okay... I would be hard-pressed to call her great though and her competition blows her out of the water. Munetendon is... too situational for me, if he was going to be a stop card I feel like he should have a little more damage to make him decent enough for people to bother pilling against him. Lizbeth's pretty solid, I like her.

They emerge in time for the Detroit auto show with two names: the 2007 North American Car of the Year and Truck of the Year. But right now, they've got the finalists' names, and they are the Honda Fit, Saturn Aura, and Toyota Camry, along with the Chevy Silverado, Ford Edge, and Mazda CX-7. (Yes, it seems the overseers have slotted the new crossover SUVs into the truck category, which is one way to go.) As we do each year, we're going to the polls to take Jalopnik readers' NACTOY temperature. Make your selections, based on any criteria you choose, though engaging in hookah play beforehand is purely optional. Anything missing?

Jane, in order to know what to do now, it would be nice to know what you
did before.
Did you go to the Adobe website, register and get an Adobe ID and password
before you downloaded and installed ADE? It's possible to download ADE and
install it without registering first with Adobe, and when that happens, ADE
may not install correctly.
Did you change computers after you installed ADE - or change ID's?
Are you running a Windows 7 PC? It's security might not be set up to allow
you to use ADE as intended.
2. Re: Authorisation doesn't seem to takejanejanejanejane May 3, 2012 11:21 PM (in response to Frustrated in AZ)
I am using windows XP. I haven't changed computers at any point, or ids. I only got an adobe id to use ADE, and It was some weeks back, so I can't guarantee in what order I downloaded, installed, registered. But I certainly never went past the activation screen the first time without inputting an id and password. thanks, Jane
3. Re: Authorisation doesn't seem to takejanejanejanejane May 4, 2012 5:35 AM (in response to janejanejanejane)
I have now uninstalled ADE, following the guidelines elsewhere here, and reinstalled it, and the exact same thing is happening. Each time the authorisation WORKS, but obviously no key is being written to whereever it is supposed to be kept, because next time I start up ADE it wants me to authorise again. Any ideas? Please!!!
4. Re: Authorisation doesn't seem to takeFrustrated in AZ May 4, 2012 8:30 AM (in response to janejanejanejane)
All I can think of at this point is that your system software or your
antivirus program are set up to require a user ID and password before you
can use ADE. That kind of security is not built into ADE, so it has to be
coming from somewhere outside ADE.

Email Headers
Email Headers are lines of metadata attached to each email that contain lots of useful information for a forensic investigator. However, email headers can be easily forged, so they should never be used as the only source of information.
Making Sense of Headers
There is no single way to make sense of email headers. Some examiners favor reading from the bottom up, some favor reading from the top down. Because information in the headers can be put there at any time (e.g. when the message is created, in transit, or by the reader's MUA), there is no single method for making sense of them.
Many legitimate programs put data in a fixed order that can be validated. If parts of the data are not in the correct order or missing, the header can be shown to be forged. For example, if an email purports to have been sent by Apple Mail but has a Message-Id field that could not have been generated by that program, it has been forged.
Message Id Field
According to the current guidelines for email (RFC 2822), every email should have a Message-ID field:
The "Message-ID:" field provides a unique message identifier that refers to a particular version of a particular message. The uniqueness of the message identifier is guaranteed by the host that generates it (see below). This message identifier is intended to be machine readable and not necessarily meaningful to humans. A message identifier pertains to exactly one instantiation of a particular message; subsequent revisions to the message each receive new message identifiers. ... The message identifier (msg-id) itself MUST be a globally unique identifier for a message. The generator of the message identifier MUST guarantee that the msg-id is unique. There are several algorithms that can be used to accomplish this. Since the msg-id has a similar syntax to angle-addr (identical except that comments and folding white space are not allowed), a good method is to put the domain name (or a domain literal IP address) of the host on which the message identifier was created on the right hand side of the "@", and put a combination of the current absolute date and time along with some other currently unique (perhaps sequential) identifier available on the system (for example, a process id number) on the left hand side. Using a date on the left hand side and a domain name or domain literal on the right hand side makes it possible to guarantee uniqueness since no two hosts use the same domain name or IP address at the same time. Though other algorithms will work, it is RECOMMENDED that the right hand side contain some domain identifier (either of the host itself or otherwise) such that the generator of the message identifier can guarantee the uniqueness of the left hand side within the scope of that domain.
Where known, the Message-ID algorithms for known programs are given on the separate pages for those programs.
Known Header Formats
The format for the given headers are different for each Mail User Agent. We currently know the Apple Mail Header Format and Thunderbird Header Format.
We would like to know the Outlook Header Format, Outlook Express Header Format, Microsoft Mail Header Format, Yahoo! Mail Header Format, and Gmail Header Format. Additions to this list are welcome.

Sometimes I think that Jesus must have been on the train.
—Lost Property auctioneer
Who left them and how did they walk down
the long platform at Reading or at Slough?
Did they abandon their trusty wheelchairs
or throw down their crutches and take the stairs
unaided for the first time in years, then hop
into a waiting van and say, "Let's shop
for dancing shoes at McMurray's
on the way?" Did they arrive and hurry
up the nursing-home drive shouting, "I'm out of here!
Pack up my stuff and buy everyone a beer
on me?" Travel is a marvel, I know,
but how could they up and out on their own
without braces or canes, not noticing they walked
without walkers, leaving passengers to talk
of miracles or fraud, and why didn't they
telephone to get their trophies and say
"I've got to explain," and "Who was that nice conductor
who came to my aid and helped me off the floor
and said 'Walk and fall no more,' and were
there any witnesses so I can be sure
of this business? Mind you, I don't mean to complain,
though while I'm on the line I'll mention the train
was more than forty-five minutes late."
It's hard to win when the world knows you'll fail—
Did even one return to thank British Rail?
Listen to an interview with Michael F. Suarez, S.J.

Hope announces to Steffy in Liam's living room that she won't let her trap him. Steffy wonders what happened to giving Liam space to figure things out? Hope tells Liam they can still make it official. She then questions why Steffy kept quiet about the pregnancy. She acknowledges that they are bonded for life over the pregnancy, but tells Liam they can't let it come between them. Steffy reminds Hope that when she got pregnant, she was not even in the picture. They bicker about birth control and the truth coming out. Liam asks to speak to Hope alone. Steffy tells him she didn't want it to play out like this. He knows. Once alone, Hope wants Liam to see this is just like the gondola - when Steffy smiles at him he can't see the truth. Hope thinks he was ready to recommit to her outside until Steffy arrived with her noble story and golden ticket. Liam protests, but she cuts him off. She disagrees that Steffy's changed. She says even if she's wrong and Steffy has good intentions, he can still be a father to the baby while they're together.
Golden Ticket.
Hope and Liam talk alone, Steffy and Taylor bicker with Brooke, and Rick's impressed by Maya.
In the bedroom, Taylor and Brooke bicker. Taylor says Hope wouldn't think it's wrong to interfere with someone else's family - she learned everything she knows from Brooke. Steffy enters as Brooke is declaring an unhappy marriage isn't good for a child. Steffy challenges her; who says it would be unhappy? Brooke wonders why Liam wanted to talk to Hope alone. Brooke tells Steffy that deep down she knows Liam wants to be with Hope - he'll be there for her and the baby, with Hope by his side. Taylor remarks that rather than 'destined' to be, Hope and Liam seem to be a bad match; unable to get it together. Brooke believes Liam wants to be with Hope.
At Dayzee's, Caroline continues to whine at Rick about volunteering. Rick knows it's not what she had in mind, but asks her to change. She steps in chili and informs him she won't do this right now. Rick insists he'll make it up to her and implores her to volunteer and feed the people. Caroline goes on about her outfit, shoes, and hair, and then leaves. Maya arrives. Rick serves her coffee. Anthony introduces himself. Maya says she's a friend of Dayzee's. He invites her to get up and sing with him. Rick seems mesmerized by her. After, he tells her it was incredible and introduces himself.
Spoilers for Next Week on The Bold and the Beautiful:
Brooke thinks Taylor is using Eric.
Bill is thrilled to learn of the pregnancy.

Product Reviews writes: The debate that never seems to end with console gaming tends to be one of gameplay vs. graphics, and while some of us want both, others feel that gameplay is more important than graphics and vice versa. Enhancements like giving every GTA 5/6 pedestrian unique mentalities would be possible with next-gen hardware, although it's fair to say with the next-generation we'd expect a big graphics jump, and for us this is more important.
Graphics will help, but I will likely buy both systems and then get games for each depending on the situation.
Either the majority of 3rd party titles won't be console exclusive, or games will lack depth.
Million dollar sales, won't even break even.
People may want state of the art graphics, but let's be real, many do not want to spend a lot of money to have it....or everyone would have top graphical spec PC's in their household, which they don't. (I know I certainly don't)
It is getting way too expensive and time consuming to make great games. I want to experience photo-realistic interactive emersion as much as the next guy, but until someone invents a way for developers to impose their will without having to go through meticulous programing, we will be left with beautiful, but short and unimaginative experiences.
Next gen, i don't want dev just focusing too much making graphic more detail / realistic. But i want dev offer a new way of gameplay and storytelling without relying too much into gimmicks like motion control / touch screen.

Some Interesting News... And What I Think About It...
According to an article in the Rolla Daily News, WalMart may be closing out fabric departments in some or all of its stores in order to expand party supplies. They may not even keep sewing machines or basic sewing supplies such as needles and thread in the stores anymore.
I'm horrified. At present, WalMart is the only place I know of in Hopkinsville where fabric and other standard sewing supplies are sold. If WalMart closes their fabric department, I'll have to drive to Clarksville (a round trip of some 60 miles) and pay three times the price to buy a piece of cloth or even a decent spool of thread.
If you have an opinion about this, please express it to WalMart Corporation. The Rolla Daily News gives the following contact information:
Those wishing to make comments to Wal-Mart can do so by calling 1-800-Wal-Mart or writing a letter to Wal-Mart Headquarters, 702 S.W. Eighth St., Bentonville, AR 72716. To sign the petition, visit the Web site: http://www.petitiononline.com/savefab/petition.html, or call Judy McFarland at (573) 336-7482.
If you have a friend, relative or neighbor who sews, please give them the above contact information!

This year's flood – believed to be the worst in Thailand's history – has affected millions of people living in the country's central plain, including Bangkok. In anticipation of the problems the flood might cause, the "ARSA Bumrungrad" program was created. Its main purpose was to provide a mobile medical support service, along with financial aid and supplies of food and medication, for flood victims (including a number of Bumrungrad staff and their families) in remote and isolated areas hit by the flood.
"ARSA Bumrungrad" assembled a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and operational and management staff, who volunteered so they could help improve and protect the health of people who were enduring months of living in flood conditions. Members of the team travelled to more than 20 flood-hit areas, including Banglen in Nakornpathom province, Navanakorn Industrial Park, the Bangpai Temple Flood Relief Camp at Bangbuathong in Nonthaburi province, and destinations in the provinces of Singburi, Angthong, Chainart and Pathumthani as well as a number of flood relief camps in Bangkok. The team provided medical care to more than 1,200 people and distributed over 1,500 flood survival supply packs.
The "ARSA Bumrungrad" team reports that about 15 percent of all flood victims have health conditions that need medical attention. Most are either children under the age of five or seniors over 65. The leading problems among children in flood-hit areas are respiratory system infections, diarrhea, skin inflammation and other infections.
For seniors, in addition to infections of the respiratory system, skin inflammation and skin-related fungal infections, shortages of medication for treating chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, are a widespread problem for flood victims. Many people living in flooded areas are experiencing higher rates of stress and depression stemming from the emotional turmoil and widespread damage resulting from the flood.
If you have questions about flood-related health issues, visit www.bumrungrad.com/flood or call 0 2667 2000. Bumrungrad is fully-staffed, supplied and open to serve you.

Interview: Jimmy Carnes
Saturday, December 10, 2011 - 11:00 p.m.
The interview was conducted at the Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff's Department by Detective's Murphy and Armstrong. The interview was recorded with the witness' knowledge and consent.
- Detective Ted Armstrong
- Detective Samantha Murphy
- Jimmy John Carnes
Detective Armstrong: Take a seat right over there. Let's start off with your name and address.
Jimmy Carnes: My name is Jimmy Carnes, and my trailer is in Lot 66 at the Wheel Estates, on 913 South 18th St.
Detective Armstrong: OK. That's out of the way. What can you tell us about what you saw? Did you know the victim?
Jimmy Carnes: I wish I could tell you who committed this horrible act, but I can't think of anyone that depraved. And no, I didn't know her. She has been by before to use the restroom or buy a Coke or whatever. I never talked to her, though. She always just came in and did what she needed to do without saying much. She never had skates on before, and I thought it was strange that she had them on tonight when I saw her in the restroom. Do you think whoever set up those candles also put the skates on her?
Detective Murphy: That remains to be seen. Tell us what you saw.
Jimmy Carnes: Nothing! I didn't know anything had happened until the lady came up and asked if I would let her in the restroom. She said she really had to go, and she tried to ignore the sign on the door but couldn't, so she said she tried the handle and the door was locked and could I please let her go. I didn't even know the door was locked or what sign she was talking about.
Detective Armstrong: So being a smart young man like you, you went to see what was going on, didn't you?
Jimmy Carnes: That's right. When I saw the Out of Order sign on the door, I was stumped because I hadn't put it there, and I was working alone.
Detective Murphy: And, what happened next?
Jimmy Carnes: I tried to open the door, but the lady was right. It was locked. I had to go back to the office to get the key. The one we always use was missing, so I had to get the other key out of the desk drawer. Then I walked back and opened the door. I called out before I went in just in case someone was there, but no one answered so I went in. That's when I saw her.
Detective Murphy: Go on.
Jimmy Carnes: I thought maybe she had fainted, so I walked towards her and then I saw the blood. Lots of blood. It makes me sick just thinking about it all. It was awful.
Detective Murphy: Did you notice anything else?
Jimmy Carnes: Oh yeah. Candles. All lined up in the shape of a cross and they were burning. It was eerie.
Detective Armstrong: Did you touch anything or pick up anything?
Jimmy Carnes: Gosh, no. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Her eyes were open and I knew she was dead. The lady that was behind me screamed and ran out the door. I got goose bumps then, and I ran out too.
Detective Armstrong: Think carefully now. Are you sure that's all?
Jimmy Carnes: I can't think of anything else. Oh yeah, I did see some paper on the floor. Maybe a gum wrapper or candy wrapper. That isn't important though, I'm sure.
Detective Armstrong: Everything is important, Jimmy. Who used the restroom last?
Jimmy Carnes: We have a lot of people using the restrooms. I don't remember who was there last. I've been trying to think if there was anything I could have done, something maybe I missed that would have warned me. And then I remembered that I saw some guy walking out of the office earlier tonight. He acted like he was hiding something under his jacket, so I ran in the office to see if anything was stolen, but nothing was gone that I could see. After all this happened tonight, I was thinking maybe that was what he was doing. Taking the sign and the key.
Detective Murphy: What did he look like?
Jimmy Carnes: I never saw his face. And he only saw him for a few seconds. He went around the corner towards the restrooms, and I forgot about him after I realized nothing had been stolen.
Detective Armstrong: Picture him in your mind, Jimmy. Nothing that you can tell us?
Jimmy Carnes: His hair was dark, but I can't remember anything else about him.
Detective Murphy: Thank you, Jimmy. And if you recall anything else‒
Jimmy Carnes: Wait! I did notice that he was whistling. Sounded a little like a song I used to sing in church when I was a little boy. Is that important?
Detective Murphy: Could be. You never know.
Jimmy Carnes: I really need to get back to work now. Can I go?
Detective Murphy: The station is a crime scene. It's going to be closed for at least the rest of the night, but I don't think we have any other questions for right now. You can go. We'll be in touch if we need anything else from you.
End interview: 11:18 p.m.

South American Coati
(Nasua nasua)
Facts about this animal
The South American Coati has a red-brown to grey coat, with lighter underparts. The short, powerful feets are black and it has a black to brown tail with yellow rings. The narrow, elongated head ends in a very flexible snout which it pokes under rocks and into crevices in search for food. The ears are small and rounded. The head-body length of this species is 41 to 67 cm, with a tail length of 32 to 69 cm and they weight from 3,5 to 6 kg.
Coatis are diurnal terrestrial and arboreal. Males are often solitary, females and young travel in groups of up to 30 animals. Members of active groups emit constant soft whining sounds. Alarm calls consist of explosive woofs and clicks. When alarmed, all members of a group climb halfway up a tree to look. After a few moments they drop down and disperse in the undergrowth. At night, coatis sleep in a tree top.
Coatis are opportunistic omnivorous feeders eating fruit, invertebrates and small vertebrates.
Did you know?
That coatis are so adapted to arboreal life that they even mate in the trees, and build nests for their young among the branches?

Why do zoos keep this animal
The South-American coati is a common species, which is frequently kept by zoos because it is diurnal, social, and always very active, i.e. an attractive zoo animal, which is a good ambassador species for the conservation of neotropical forests.
