Bosnia-Herzegovina profile - Timeline
A chronology of key events:
1908 - Bosnia-Herzegovina annexed to Austria-Hungary.
1914 - A Bosnian Serb student, Gavrilo Princip, assassinates the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. This precipitates World War I.
1918 - Austria-Hungary collapses at the end of the war. Bosnia-Herzegovina becomes part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
1941 - Bosnia-Herzegovina annexed by pro-Hitler Croatian puppet state. Thousands of Serbs, Jews and Gypsies are sent to the death camps.
1945 - Bosnia-Herzegovina liberated following campaign by partisans under Tito.
1945-1991- Bosnia is part of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
1991 - Following collapse of communism, nationalists win first multi-party elections and form coalition government despite having conflicting goals: Muslim nationalists want centralised independent Bosnia, Serb nationalists want to stay in Belgrade-dominated rump Yugoslavia, Croats want to join independent Croatian state.
War on many fronts
1992 - Croat and Muslim nationalists form tactical alliance and outvote Serbs at independence referendum. Serb nationalists are incensed as constitution stipulates that all major decisions must be reached through consensus.
War breaks out and Serbs quickly assume control of over half the republic. Ethnic cleansing is rampant in the newly proclaimed Serb Republic but also widespread in Muslim and Croat-controlled areas.
The Bosnian Serbs, under Radovan Karadzic, lay siege to Sarajevo. The city is controlled by Muslims but they are unable to break out through lines set up to defend surrounding Serb villages. There is bitter fighting as well as many atrocities.
1993 - As tensions rise, conflict breaks out between Muslims and Croats, culminating in the destruction of much of Mostar, including its Old Bridge. The bridge had graced the city since it was built by the Ottomans in the 16th century and was a symbol of Bosnia's cultural diversity.
The conflict is extremely complex. Muslims and Serbs form an alliance against Croats in Herzegovina, rival Muslim forces fight each other in north-west Bosnia, Croats and Serbs fight against Muslims in central Bosnia.
UN safe havens for Bosnian Muslim civilians are created, to include Sarajevo, Gorazde and Srebrenica.
1995 - Safe haven of Srebrenica is overrun by Bosnian Serb forces under General Ratko Mladic. Thousands of Bosnian Muslim men and boys are separated from their families and massacred, despite the presence of Dutch UN troops. Nato air strikes against Serb positions help Muslim and Croat forces make big territorial gains, expelling thousands of Serb civilians on the way.
Dayton peace accord signed in Paris. It creates two entities of roughly equal size, one for Bosnian Muslims and Croats, the other for Serbs. An international peacekeeping force is deployed.

1998 - Elections see nationalist politicians do well. The first Bosnian Muslims and Croats are convicted of war crimes in the Hague.

Having strict on would break a lot (but propably not all) of ancient Perl4 codeI doubt there's a lot of ancient perl4 code laying around. That's not the problem.
It's the unknown quantities of code written in the last 15 years that will break if use strict; suddenly becomes the default. Note that includes oodles of code that runs without problems.
And the amount of code will only grow.
I'm sure you could convince p5p to make use strict; the default if you can show there's not much code out there that would break. But you don't know how much code is out there - and how it's written. Noone knows.
And yes, I'm aware that this discussion won't change Perl5, and it's too late now to change Perl5 to have strict mode on by default. But at least we can learn this lesson for Perl6.Perl6 will have strict on by default. Or at least, it still had that last time I heard someone trying to get me the drink the Perl6 Kool-Aid. But who knows, it may have changed since.
Modern::Perl is a pretty neat idea, but it is not a core moduleWait? You don't mind if other people have to change their, currently working, code, but you find it a problem if a module that helps you write "modern" (for some value of "modern") code is a module that has to be downloaded from CPAN?
With the new operators for 5.10, we see a very similar problem: Backwards compatibility at every cost, even if it makes writing modern Perl harder.Backwards compatibility is very important. And how are the "new operators" keeping you from writing "modern Perl"?
Oh, and if you're so saffy you're writing "modern Perl", you'll be able to write an editor macro that puts "use strict;" in your files for you? I've no clue how to write "modern Perl", or even what it is, but I haven't had a need to type use strict; to get strictness for a long, long time. Two keystrokes, and it says "#!/usr/bin/perl\nuse strict;\nuse warnings;\n". A slight variations, and it does the same with a package statement instead of a she-bang line. I really do not buy the argument "my fingers are wearing out typing 'use strict'".
In reply to Re^3: use strict

Details of Real Salt Lake and the Ticket Luck value
Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake is a professional soccer club based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The club began playing in Major League Soccer in 2005 and the team currently plays its home games at the University of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium. The team's major rivals are the Colorado Rapids, against which it competes with for the annual Rocky Mountain Cup, and C.D. Chivas USA, a fellow expansion team in 2005. The club has two major fan clubs - The Loyalists and the Rogue Cavaliers Brigade.
The word 'real' in the team's name is derived from the Spanish names of soccer teams such as Real Madrid that play in La Liga. In Spanish the word means royal and is pronounced 'ray-al'. The team's name was chosen by Dave Checketts and SCP Worldwide partners Dean Howes, Kenneth Munoz, Michael McCarthy and Chris Bevilacqua, who wanted to associate the team to a successful soccer club, Real Madrid, and also create a brand image for the team that was clearly to do with soccer. Intitially the team's name was not liked by many fans in the community who wanted a name more related to the Salt Lake Area. However, criticism of the name has more or less died down and the team has a solid relationship with Real Madrid which has proven very beneficial.
History of the Team
Real Salt Lake or RLS's present coach is Jason Kreis, who is Major League Soccer's all-time regular season scorer. He was the first player to be signed by RLS and he retired as a player on May 3rd, 2007 after which took over as the team's coach. Kreis replaced the first head coach John Ellinger, who was former coach of the Under-17 United States national team and the head of USSF's Bradenton Academy. Ellinger remained with the team as technical director/director of soccer operations till August 2007.
The original soccer team from Salt Lake City was the USL Second Division's Utah Blitzz, which wound up about the time Real Salt Lake formed. The Blitzz head coach Chris Agnello became the assistant coach for RSL but left after the inaugural season. On November 17, 2006, XanGo announced a multi-million dollar deal that would be advertised on the front of RSL's jersey. A month later, RSL announced the high-profile player acquisition of American teenage phenomenon Freddy Adu for the 2007 season. However, Adu left the team midway through the season to play in Portugal.
RSL and its Stadium Issues
In 2005 RSL gained approval to build a soccer specific stadium in Sandy, a suburb of Salt Lake City. However, due to funding problems, the proposal was struck down in early 2006. The mayor of Sandy, Tom Dolan, attempted to obtain another approval by revising the funding plan, but the proposal was again rejected due to a dispute over the use of millions of hotel-tax dollars going towards a financially unproven sports franchise. Franchise owner Dave Checketts declared that the plans for building the stadium were off, and expressed his desire to sell the team if a proposal for a stadium was not put forward by mid August 2006. Several parties expressed an interest in purchasing and moving the team, including Rochester, New York and St Louis, Missouri. At the same time, several other stadium sites were proposed such as the Utah State Fairgrounds and a small town called Vineyard in Salt Lake City. Eventually after several months of negotiations with local authorities and a change in the funding structure, an agreement between Checketts, Sandy City, and Salt Lake County was finally made to move forward plans for the construction of the originally proposed stadium.
In January 2006, plans for the stadium were again jeopardized when the Debt Review Committee of Salt Lake County voted totally against the stadium proposal citing Real Salt Lake's unviable financial position as the prime reason. Subsequently, the stadium plans was again shot down the club's owner announced that the team would be sold and most likely move out of the area after the 2007 season.
Real Madrid and the Youth Academy
In September 2006, Real Salt Lake and Real Madrid signed a 10-year co-operative agreement for the creation of a $25 million elite youth academy in SLC that would train up to 200 players between the ages of 12 to 18. The academy would be a joint project with Real Madrid, who would pay half the cost. Facilities at the academy would include a dorm as well, making it one of the first complete soccer training facilities in the country along with the Red Bull Academy of New York. Other features of the agreement include a biannual friendly match between the two teams to take place in Salt Lake City and annual training for RSL at the Real Madrid practice facility in Spain. The academy is intended to support the growing league-wide trend for youth development.
Rocky Mountain Cup
Real Salt Lake was the second expansion team to enter MLS in 2005 in the Rocky Mountain Region along with the Colarado Rapids who were the team's closet neighbor and rivals. Supporters of the two clubs hyped up competition between the two sides to foster the budding rivalry. Colorado won the Rocky Mountain Cup in its inaugural year, 9 points to 3, and successfully defended the Cup in 2006 by a margin of 7 points to 4.

Mono County not keen on subsidizing air service
Even as Mammoth's town council moved to approve an agreement to subsidize some air service flights this week, county supervisors had three words to say:
"Not so fast."
At a Tuesday discussion centered around Mammoth Mountain's request that the county help subsidize air service, splitting it three ways with the town government and the Mountain, it was clear the supervisors aren't ready to go there, not yet and perhaps, not at all.
It should be noted that Howard Pickett, who was scheduled to give a complete presentation on the subject, had to postpone his appearance before the supervisors by one week.
"The county is struggling," said Mono County District 2 supervisor Hap Hazard. "This is $1 million in four years. ... Before we divert that kind of money, I'd like to see the Tri-Valley get their paramedic, I'd like to not have to cut county employees."
He noted that counties exist to provide "safety nets" for people, not "amenities." Towns and other municipalities have tools to provide amenities to their residents, but counties operate the bare bones services: snow removal, road maintenance, critical services that all residents have to have.
He also said he believes the question should go to the public.
"If they support it, I will," he said.
Even Mammoth's two supervisors whose districts fall wholly within Mammoth boundaries weren't enthusiastic about the idea.
"I don't want to see us subsidize this if it's not viable on its own," said District 5 supervisor Byng Hunt. He added that he was also wary of the long-term ramifications of being involved in such a subsidy.
"I'd like to see the statistics that show how this benefits the county," said District 1 supervisor Larry Johnston.
He added that he had concerns about to what extent governments should support private businesses.
'"Especially when it's a private entity like MMSA, which is doing quite well," he said. "They are millions and millions in the black."
The problem is that there is not enough information available about the true consequences of air service to the county itself, not just the Town of Mammoth, the supervisors said.
While all of them noted that they support year-round air service (in fact, the county already gives $45,000 a year to support the fall shoulder season flights), it was clear as the discussion progressed that the devil is in the details.
Hazard was the least supportive of the option.
He's always had concerns that the agreement between Mammoth Mountain, the town government and Horizon Air/Alaska Airlines is a "bad agreement" with the airline receiving too much in subsidies.
And, he said, "The Town's got $10 million in reserve. Even with their issues that are mostly self-inflicted (they are not doing badly.)"
The only wholehearted support for the subsidy came from District 3 (June Lake and some of Mammoth) supervisor Vikki Bauer. To her, the issue is simple.
"As a small business owner, the first thing you do is protect your revenue stream," she said.
"It's been made clear that year- round air service increases property values in Mammoth and an increase in property values is an increase in the income coming into the general fund."
She added that the subsidy the county already agreed to last year was an "immediate fix" to a problem she is proud of fixing, but that it's not enough.
"I believe we will get back the $215,000 in property value increase," she said. "If we lose any ground on air service ... we are going to become the victims ... even with the problems facing the county, it's worth it."
But the rest of the board was simply too wary of the whole issue to bite.
And there's another problem...
Instead, they asked county staff and the county's tourism commission to start gathering information about the impacts of air service to the county.
County Administrator Dave Wilbrecht noted another possible snafu: a possible conflict of interest for Hazard, whose wife works for Mammoth Mountain.
Wilbrecht also suggested that it was time for a very "big picture" discussion of the overall relationship between the Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mono County, particularly on how the two governments market themselves and promote tourism.
"There might be projects we should be doing together," he said. "We need to have that discussion and within it, we can also address air service."
When it was all over Tuesday, the board chose to funnel this big picture discussion to the county's tourism commission first, which, incidentally, had recommended the board go for the subsidy.
Wilbrecht said if the data the county is looking for is available, the county will take up the subject again in March.
If not, it could be longer.
In the meantime, there will be no vote on the proposed air service subsidy by the board of supervisors. meaning the Town and Mountain are on their own for this one, at least for now.

Two recent responses to her work have caught my attention, though. First, there's Lionel Shriver in the Globe and Mail opening a review with this sentence: "Joyce Carol Oates is an atrocious writer."
The second piece to catch my eye was Miriam Burstein's post at The Little Professor about Oates's novel The Tattooed Girl. Burstein's general feelings about Oates are somewhat similar to mine: "As an undergraduate, I devoured Joyce Carol Oates' novels every chance I could get. A decade on, I find that my enthusiasm has waned to a near-vanishing point..." I, too, began reading Oates while at college, and her writing was an addiction for a couple of years. Part of this stemmed from how I became interested in Oates: I was in a staged reading of one of her plays. I didn't think it was a good play (far from it), but I enjoyed meeting her, and so I began reading her books. After a few years of finding her work to be flawed but compelling, my interest in her cooled, and I decided she was skilled at melodrama, but not much else.
Burstein writes,
While I was reading, the word that kept creeping into my head was..."facile." Oates doesn't seem particularly comfortable imagining her way into the heads of anti-Semites, which means that despite the back cover blurb's boast that she "probes the tragedy of ethnic hatred and challenges accepted limits of desire," the probing doesn't get far below the epidermis.Yes, facile, exactly. And not just in her approach to her subject matter, but in the prose. Once upon a time, I thought Oates's prose style was carefully, skillfully crafted to seem careless, to capture the tumble of characters' thoughts and their visceral reactions to the world. But, in her novels at least, that's the way she always writes, regardless of whether it's an appropriate tool. It has become a habit, a stylistic tic, a shortcut to avoid having to create real emotional content for her books. All thoughts are breathless, all responses are overwrought. This is not meta-melodrama, it's just melodrama.
From her earliest books, critics have wondered why Oates writes so obsessively about violence. She bristles at the question, saying that life is violent and therefore writers should write about it, but I think the question recurs not so much because Oates writes about violence, but because of the way she does it. In much of her fiction, violence is a cheap trick she uses to create drama and intensity. She creates grotesque situations, writes about them with lots of exclamation points and simplistic stream-of-consciousness, and therefore avoids any effects of more depth or subtlety.
These criticisms are general, not specific. There are works by Oates that are, at least in my memory (I haven't read any for a few years), notably more complex and effective than the majority of her work. Broke Heart Blues is overlong but has some interesting parts, Because It is Bitter, and Because It is My Heart is deeply moving almost to the end, and the first 100 or so pages of Wonderland are as intense as any I have read (unfortunately, the rest of the book isn't nearly as good). I have heard great things about her gothic series (Bellefleur, A Bloodsmoor Romance, Mysteries of Winterthurn, and My Heart Laid Bare), but, for one reason or another, when I was reading Oates I stuck to her realistic fiction.
One of the things I admire about Oates is her determination, and her willingness to write in a wide variety of genres and modes. She has published in F&SF, Ellery Queen's, and various of Ellen Datlow's anthologies. She has praised Stephen King and edited a collection of Lovecraft's stories. Her anthology of American Gothic Tales is wide-ranging and filled with interesting choices (I'm particularly fond of Nicholson Baker's "Subsoil"). On the other hand, I often find Oates's nonfiction to be -- that word again -- facile, at least when she's writing about topics I know something about. Little errors crop up a lot, the result of, apparently, writing more from memory than from research.
Lionel Shriver says, "Oates gives the impression of publishing nothing but first drafts, which helps to explain her astounding output, and her implicit motto that more is more," but Greg Johnson, Oates's biographer, has documented that Oates revises constantly and obsessively. I have often wondered how a writer who spends, apparently, so much effort on her prose can write so many truly dreadful paragraphs, pages, and entire books. Now and then something great comes out, but so does an awful lot of dreck.
Eventually, we will be able to look back over Oates's entire career and find the gems, but for the moment we're stuck with sorting through all the dreck. I, for one, have given up, because I don't want to keep wasting my time hoping Oates will write a masterpiece. Watching her was fascinating for a while, but now it's simply exhausting, and somewhat sad, because I can't help but think she is wasting the potential she once showed, wasting it by writing so carelessly. Even when she's not being careless.

Do Libraries Need Permission To Lend Out Ebooks?
from the they-shouldn't dept
Furthermore, the rest of the discussion is just silly. There are arguments about how many ebooks can be "checked out" at once or how the DRM works (which blocks the most popular ebook readers from being supported). There's also an issue of publishers charging libraries much higher prices for ebooks, and scoffing at a librarian who suggests that libraries should be allowed to offer as many copies as needed of an ebook to lend at the same time, and just pay the publishers a nominal fee.
It's hard to describe how insane this whole discussion sounds. Here you have a fantastic tool to support a library's main purpose in the world, and we're arguing over what sorts of artificial restrictions to set up to limit that tool from actually being useful? It's as if we discovered a way to make all the food the world ever needed, and we sit around talking about how to make sure that most people don't get fed. It would make me laugh if it weren't so disturbing that people seem to think this is a good thing.

Wal-Mart Delivery Service Says to Amazon: 'Bring It'
In its latest bid to take on Internet powerhouse Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -0.29% this holiday season, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -1.89% is promising same-day delivery in some cities for orders placed online.
Called Wal-Mart To Go, the service costs $10 regardless of the size of the order. The products will be shipped from the company's stores, not from a warehouse or distribution center. Wal-Mart began testing the same-day service last week in Philadelphia and northern Virginia.
It added Minneapolis on Tuesday and will add San Jose and San Francisco later this month. The trial will last through the holidays.
Over the past several years, Wal-Mart has launched several attacks on its online rival, including a price war over best-selling books three years ago.
More: Amazon vs. Wal-Mart
This time, Wal-Mart is betting that its network of thousands of stores, combined with an improved online presence and strong financials, can help it compete head to head with Amazon, which has increasingly stressed fast, free or low-cost deliveries. Amazon launched same-day shipping in 10 cities in 2009.
But shipping from stores, rather than from warehouses as Amazon does, is expensive, analysts said.
"It can be three to four times the cost for the retailer to pick items and pack them from a store versus having a really efficient, automated process back in a distribution center," said Al Sambar, a retail strategist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon.
"It's setting up to be an interesting ballgame between Amazon and Wal-Mart," said Wells Fargo analyst Matt Nemer. Wal-Mart has the scale of nearly 4,000 stores across the U.S. and billions of dollars in free cash flow, but Amazon is nimbler and has years of customer data at its disposal, he said.
Wal-Mart doesn't disclose its online sales, but the trade publication Internet Retailer estimates they were $4.9 billion, or about 1% of the company's total revenue last year, compared with Amazon.com's $34 billion in online sales.
Wal-Mart has been ramping up its e-commerce business, which employs 1,000 workers in San Bruno, Calif., down the street from YouTube's offices and far removed from the retailer's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark.
The retail giant has acquired nearly a dozen start-ups to help broaden its online presence and developed @Walmart Labs, its Silicon Valley tech shop that has revamped the walmart.com website and mobile applications to make them more competitive with Amazon and other online retailers.
Wal-Mart also has been trying to compete with Amazon's prices inside its stores. In some, it has quietly begun matching the online retailer's prices when customers ask, a practice historically done only against local brick-and-mortar competitors.
Nathan Engels, a blogger in Cincinnati, snagged a Cannon laser printer at Wal-Mart for $98 earlier this summer, even though the printer's advertised shelf price was $108. Wal-Mart lowered the price for Mr. Engels after he scanned the printer's bar code using Price Check, a smart phone application developed by Amazon, and showed a Wal-Mart customer service representative that the same printer was for sale on the Amazon website for $98.
"I can't imagine Wal-Mart makes a profit on this, but it does keep me in the store buying from them rather than Amazon," he said.
Wal-Mart's corporate policy states it doesn't match competitors' Internet prices.
But analysts say executives are weighing plans to change that.
A Wal-Mart spokesman declined to comment on future policy, but said, "It's possible that an individual store may honor the price of an item online if a customer asks."
Wal-Mart also has been trying to use its stores to tap into millions of shoppers who either don't have credit or debit cards or don't feel comfortable disclosing their personal financial information online.
In April, the retailer began a program that allows customers to order merchandise online and pay for it at a store with cash. Shoppers can pick up the items at a store or have them delivered.
Nearly half of Wal-Mart's online sales now come from purchases customers make online and pick up at a store, said Wal-Mart spokesman Ravi Jariwala.
"We have a unique advantage because we have the national footprint of stores combined with our online site that enable programs like site to store, pay with cash or pick up today," he said.
A spokeswoman for Amazon declined to comment on Wal-Mart.
Instead of shipping goods from its distribution centers, Wal-Mart will pluck products from its network of stores in the four areas of the test program. The retailer wouldn't provide details on who would be picking and packing the products.
United Parcel Service Inc. will pick up the goods and deliver them to customers, who have until noon to place orders and can choose a four-hour window in the evening to receive deliveries.
Only about 5,000 items, such as televisions and toys, will be available for same-day shipping; the service doesn't apply to the millions of products available on Walmart.com.
It also doesn't cover grocery and produce items, except in California where Wal-Mart has been testing a grocery delivery service for the past couple of years and the program fees and order deadlines vary.

balsamic-macerated strawberry tart with whipped mascarpone filling
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This springtime tart is a tempting combination of shortbread-like crust with a lightly sweetened, vanilla-scented whipped cream and mascarpone filling, all topped with a mound of barely balsamic-y strawberries. —a sage amalgam
Serves: 8
Sweet Tart Shell
grams (1/4 cup) Granulated White Sugar
grams (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) Millet Flour
grams (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) Garbanzo Fava Bean Flour
grams (1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon) Potato Starch
grams (3 tablespoons) Arrowroot Starch
teaspoon Xanthan Gum
teaspoon Kosher Salt
grams (6 tablespoons) cold, Unsalted Butter, diced into 1/2 inch cubes
large Egg, cold
teaspoon (5 grams) Cold Water
Millet Flour, for rolling
Strawberries and Filling:
pound Strawberries
tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
cup plus 1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar, divided
ounces Mascarpone Cheese
teaspoon Vanilla Extract
cup Heavy Cream
- MAKE TART SHELL: Whisk together sugar through salt in the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle in butter pieces. Fit stand mixer with paddle attachment and mix until the butter and flour mixture resembles peas. Add egg and water; mix until the dough just begins to form. If the dough has gotten too warm at this point, form it into a thick disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes until firmed up but still pliable enough to roll.
- Lightly flour work surface with flour and roll the dough into a 12" circle. Fit the dough into a 9 1/2" fluted tart pan with a removable bottom; make sure there aren't any air bubbles or cracks. Fold the excess dough back into the pan so that the sides of the tart are now about double the thickness of the bottom. Neatly trim away excess dough around the top of the pan.
- Freeze for a minimum of 1 hour (up to 3 months, if tightly wrapped) before proceeding.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove tart from freezer and place on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Place a sheet of parchment paper over tart and fill with ceramic pie weights.
- Place tart (baking sheet and all) on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes; carefully remove pie weights (I usually do this by gathering the four corners of the square of parchment, making a little sack). Bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until lightly browned (7 minutes was the magic number for me). Remove from oven and cool completely in the tart pan before filling (about 1 hour).
- SLICE AND MACERATE STRAWBERRIES: Wash strawberries really well in several changes of cold water. Dry using a salad spinner or by patting dry with a clean towel. Pinch off strawberry stems. Using a paring knife, hull strawberries. Slice lengthwise into quarters from stem end to bottom (halve really small berries). Place in a large bowl.
- In a small dish, whisk together balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon powdered sugar just until dissolved. Pour vinegar mixture over strawberries, toss gently to coat. Allow this mixture to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, toss every few minutes during this time. While strawberries are macerating, make filling.
- MAKE FILLING: In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract and 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Whip on medium speed for 30 seconds-1 minute or until lightened, do not over beat. Scrape down bowl and beater; add heavy cream. Start beating on low speed, gradually increase to medium as the mixture thickens. Beat just until firm peaks form (about 1-2 minutes), be careful not to over whip. If desired, add more sugar to taste (keep in mind the tart shell and berries will both contribute to sweetness).
- ASSEMBLE TART: Spread filling in cooled tart shell. Stir berries one last time, drain in a colander (don't rinse); add more powdered sugar to taste, if needed. Pour or spoon berries over filling. Serve immediately, or chill, covered, in the fridge (remove from fridge about 15-30 minutes before serving to take some of the chill off).

Editor's Note: So many beers, so little time. One Big Bottle spotlights the brews we're sipping, one by one.
Sometimes complex beers can be created with deceptively simple malt bills. The Stoic, Deschutes Brewery's latest installment in its Reserve Series, is brewed using only German Pilsner malt. Instead of relying on grains for character and depth, the Belgian-style Quadrupel gains its intricacies from four fermentations and multiple sugar additions, as well as the time some of the beer spent aging in Pinot Noir barrels and rye whiskey barrels.
The Stoic pours a bright copper with a fleeting head. An inviting mix of candi sugar, marshmallow, and vanilla open in the aroma, along with hints of the rye barrel spiciness and the Belgian yeast's banana, pepper, and clove. Much of the aroma is present and more pronounced in the beer's flavor, joined by cherry and vinous notes. We did notice that The Stoic lacks some of the rich dark fruit characters—think figs and plums—found in many quads, but instead displays brighter alternatives. The addition of pomegranate molasses provides a rush of tart and sweet fruitiness that runs from first sip to finish. Time in barrels has done much to sand down any brasher alcoholic edges, but there's no disguising 11% ABV. The warming booziness lingers after swallowing, which is about the time the barrel flavor emerges with only a light oak tannin.
This beer would be terrific with braised short ribs or duck and equally brilliant with a fruit tart and fresh cream.

FRESNO, Calif. – The Gauchos' seventh inning rally came up short on Tuesday evening as UCSB (13-22) was edged out by Fresno State (22-13), 2-1, at Bulldog Diamond.
After blanking Sacramento State yesterday afternoon, freshman pitcher Shelby Wisdom (8-10) had yet another outstanding outing in the circle. She tossed all six innings for the Gauchos and allowed just four hits and two unearned runs. She struck out two batters and did not walk any.
UCSB out-hit the Bulldogs, 5-4, and senior Allison Taylor led the Gauchos at the plate, going 2-for-4. Sophomore McKenzie Kane extended her current hitting streak to 13 games.
Fresno State got out to an early lead in the bottom of the first inning. Breanna Moss was able to reach on a Gaucho error and then came home when Brooke Ortiz hit a double down the left field line.
The Bulldogs added to their advantage in the next inning. Stesha Brazil and Maria Sio hit consecutive singles to put two runners on. Andrea Ortega lined out to third base, but a throwing error on the play allowed Brazil to tag home.
Freshman Jenessa Jeppesen led off in the top of the seventh inning with a solo home run hit down the left field line to cut the Fresno State lead to 2-1. Taylor was able to get on base with a single two outs later, but the Gaucho comeback ended there.
UCSB will open its 2012 Big West Conference schedule on Saturday, March 31 when it plays host to Long Beach State. The three-game series will open with a noon doubleheader.

Welcome to The Broadview Anthology of British Literature
"…sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British Literature will now have to be measured."
– Graham Hammill, SUNY Buffalo
"With the publication of the Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies by Norton and Longman. …This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement."
– Nicholas Watson, Harvard University
"…an excellent anthology. Good selections for my purposes (including some nice surprises), just the right level of annotation, affordable—and a hit with my students. I will definitely use it again."
– Ira Nadel, University of British Columbia
With this anthology, Broadview takes a dramatically new approach to anthology publishing, using our adjunct website not only to make background materials available, but also to post a substantial portion of the anthology itself. Online anthology selections have all been edited, annotated, and introduced with the same comprehensiveness, and to the same high editorial and production standards, as the materials published in bound book form. The result is an unrivalled flexibility and range of selection.
If you do not yet own a copy of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, you are welcome to roam these pages to learn more about the structure and the contents of the anthology. Descriptions of all six volumes are available, and the complete Table of Contents for each volume is also readily accessible. If, however, you are interested in viewing any of our online anthology selections or background materials, either for use in the classroom or simply out of personal interest, you will need to enter a book code. This code is available only when you purchase your copy of the Broadview Anthology, and can be entered in the side column at any time. Entering this code will allow you complete access to the full range of texts and materials on this website.

The Great Barrier Reef is about 500,000 years old, with the current structure at about age 8,000 years old… pretty young, considering the first coral reefs started about 500 million years ago and the first close relatives of modern coral reefs popped up approximately 230 million years ago.

The Staats Report
The 1983 Amendments, following a recommendation of the Greenspan Commission, authorized the establishment of a study panel to undertake a "thorough study with respect to the implementation of removing the Social Security Administration from the Department of Health and Human Services and establishing it as an independent agency in the executive branch with its own independent administrative structure, including the possibility of such a structure headed by a board appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate."
The politics of the independent agency were multi-facited, although simple in a way. Both houses of Congress and both political parties were generally in favor of returning SSA to independent status. In fact, a bill passed twice in the House by virtually unanimous margins, only to fail for lack of action in the Senate. Administrations over the years, both Republican and Democratic, tended to resist the idea. The real debate in the Congress was over the administrative form such an independent organization would take. In particular, the House tended to support returning SSA to a board structure like that of the original Social Security Board, while the Senate preferred a single strong executive as head of the agency. This difference of opinion was one of the main reasons that the '83 Amendments called for a study of the administrative feasibility of making SSA independent, with a special charge to advise the Congress on the Board vs. single administrator issue.
The Study Panel consisted of three members: Elmer B. Staats as Chairman (a long-time government executive); Martha Derthick (a leading academic); and Arthur Hess (a former top-level Social Security Administration official), along with an Executive Director, P. Royal Shipp, and a staff of eight. The Panel's report, issued in June of 1984, kicked off an intense period of persistent efforts to craft legislation which could pass both houses of Congress and secure the signature of a usually reluctant President.

Duluth Metals Minnesota announced it's acquiring Franconia Minerals Corp. in a deal valued at $76 million, that creates a potentially giant underground copper-nickel mining operation.
Duluth Metals and Franconia Minerals have progressed the second farthest in pre-mining regulatory spade work behind PolyMet Mining, which is now completing environmental studies.
Structurally, the deal is complex, involving both a subsidiary and a partner of Duluth Metals, the Chilean mining giant Antofagasta PLC. But as far as the land is concerned the deal is simple, two adjoining areas become one.
In a conference call, Duluth Metals Chairman and CEO Christopher Dundas described two projects with common borders that will easily combine. Dundas said the combined mine creates new efficiencies for mining platinum group metals.
"The combination of these contiguous properties adds resources, thousands of acres of surface rights, and promising exploration lands to one of the largest emerging undeveloped [platinum group metals] deposits in the world," Dundas said.
Platinum group metals include copper and nickel, along with precious metals like platinum, palladium and gold.
The combined operations will hold mineral rights to about 56,000 acres, in a 10-mile stretch along the Kawishiwi River and Birch Lake from south of Ely. The goal is underground mining in a formation called the Duluth Complex.
Duluth Metals President Vern Baker said the combined project also provides advantages to regulators like the state of Minnesota.
"Instead of the state having to permit, and the federal government having to permit two completely separate projects ... we can bring all that together," he said. "We have a smaller impact on the environment. It's one that really looks exciting."
Chile-based mining company Antofagasta kicks in $30 million toward the acquisition and will buy another $20 million worth of Duluth Metals stock.
That's a strong vote of confidence in this new Minnesota mining venture, said Tony Barrett, a College of St. Scholastica economist.
"This shows to me as an economist, that these projects make sense," he said. "I mean, Antofagasta is not going to be messing around. Now, it may take yearsm, but the fact is this tells me corporations are willing to spend a lot of money just setting the table."
The plan will likely draw considerable opposition from environmental groups.
Platinum group metals are found in sulfide bearing rock. Poor mining practices in western states have created severe pollution from acidic runoff.
Environmentalists have criticized Polymet's open pit mining proposal as a serious threat to the St. Louis River and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
The Duluth Metals-Twin Metals projects involve underground mining.
Much of the waste tailings would be returned to the mine. Still, some would be left in surface storage. Betsy Daub with the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness promises close scrutiny of the plan saying a large mine in the area can effect a wilderness experience.
"What it does now is create sort of a mining juggernaut at the very edge of the wilderness," she said. "This area that is highly prized for clean water and natural forest conditions is ground zero for a vast new mining district."
Concerns include air or water pollution, noise, congestion and ecological damage from a growing population.
So far, the operations still lack a permit to conduct mining.
Duluth Metals President Baker won't predict a timeline for permitting but he says the goal is to move as quickly as possible.
Franconia's Board of Directors unanimously approved the deal, which still needs two-thirds approval from shareholders in February, and approvals from Canadian officials.

Most enterprises rely on some form of capital assets in conducting their ongoing trade or business. Since these assets are typically designed to have useful lives exceeding the current year, the costs are capitalized and deducted over time. To avoid missing valuable tax deductions, those responsible for calculating depreciation and amortization need to understand the concepts of tax depreciation and what opportunities exist in the tax law to maximize up-front depreciation deductions.AGENDAUnderstanding Tax Depreciation Methods
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you
attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live
versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without
any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back
at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous
times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the
presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.

Being a boy or a girl, for most children, is something that feels very natural. At birth, babies are assigned male or female based on physical characteristics. This refers to the "sex" of the child. When children are able to express themselves, they will declare themselves to be a boy or a girl (or sometimes something in between); this is their "gender identity." Most children's gender identity aligns with their biological sex. However, for some children, the match between biological sex and gender identity is not so clear. This article discusses how parents can promote healthy gender development in children. See the related article, Gender Non-Conforming & Transgender Children, for additional information.
Around two-years-old, children become conscious of the physical differences between boys and girls. Before their third birthday, most children are easily able to label themselves as either a boy or a girl. By age four, most children have a stable sense of their gender identity. During this same time of life, children learn gender role behavior—that is, doing
"things that boys do" or
"things that girls do."
Before the age of three, children can differentiate
toys typically used by boys or girls and begin to play with children of their own gender in activities identified with that gender. For example, a girl may gravitate toward dolls and playing house. By contrast, a boy may play games that are more active and enjoy toy soldiers, blocks, and toy trucks.
All children need the opportunity to explore different gender roles and different styles of play. Ensure your young child's environment reflects diversity in gender roles and encourages opportunities for everyone. Here are some ideas:
a child's gender-specific behavior seems to be influenced by their identification with the males and females in their lives, the sense of being a girl or a boy
(i.e. gender identity) cannot be changed.
Over time, society has recognized that stereotypes of masculine and feminine behaviors and characteristics are inaccurate. In the past, girls were only allowed to do feminine things like playing with dolls or cooking. They were expected to be more passive. Boys were expected to be more aggressive and to only show masculine behaviors.
Our expectations of
"what girls do" and
"what boys do" have changed. Girls frequently excel at sports and school subjects traditionally thought of as masculine. Boys frequently excel in artistic subjects once traditionally thought of as feminine. All children show some behaviors that were once thought of as typical for the opposite gender -- no one shows exclusively male or female traits – and this is normal.
When a child's interests and abilities are different from what society expects, he or she is often subjected to discrimination and bullying. It is natural for parents to want their child to be accepted socially. However, children need to feel comfortable with and good about themselves. If your son doesn't excel in sports or even have an interest in them, for example, there will still be many other opportunities and areas in which he can excel. Each child has his own strengths, and at times, they may not conform to society's or your own expectations, but they will still be a source of his current and future success.
Thus, rather than force your child into the mold of current or traditional gender behavior, help him or her fulfill his or her own unique potential. Don't become excessively concerned with whether your child's interests and strengths coincide with the socially defined gender roles of the moment

At Adagio we really look forward to our holidays. We like wandering the backstreets, savouring the local food, staying in a hotel with jasmine round the windows. We like strolling to remote coves and sharing amazing views with other people. We don't like rushing around. We're on holiday, and we want to enjoy ourselves. On this website you'll find holidays that we like, and we are sure you will like them too.
We like hotels with character. For us it's the welcome and atmosphere that are important. As for food… well, that's what you travel for, isn't it? We aim to seek out flavoursome local food wherever we stay, whether in our hotel or local restaurants.
All our holidays include flights, airport transfers, your Adagio Specialist, breakfast and most (if not all) dinners and the occasional lunch. We include as many of the local travel costs, entrance fees and local guides as we can, but allow for some flexibility.
There are no two ways about it; seeing the world from a coach window is only one step removed from watching it on TV. On our holidays we like to get closer - that's how you create memories that linger. Amble through a vineyard, then taste the wine. Buy your olives and bread at the morning market, and eat them by the lake. Take the cog-wheel train up the mountain, then wander through alpine meadows, full of flowers and the sound of cow bells.
A stroll here, an amble there, with time to discover, chat and enjoy.
Our Adagio ?Leaders will accompany you throughout the holiday. They are all experienced travellers with a love and knowledge of the places you will visit. They are well-organised, pay great attention to detail and enjoy being with people. They turn a good holiday into a great one.Whether it 's a glass of wine, a Renaissance garden or a magnificent view, sharing the experience with other people simply makes it better. Our groups are normally in the range of 12 to 18 people. Singles, couples, friends… all are welcome.
A stroll here, an amble there, with time to discover, chat and enjoy.
For each holiday we provide a carefully worked out proposed itinerary. Whilst we will do our best to make sure that everything we mention is included, the order in which we do things might change, owing to local conditions. And if you want to do your own thing at any time, that's also fine.
