Terry Pratchett got it all wrong. The Death of Rats should be
Every time I go out to give the Chooks their evening feed, I curse myself for not having got around to offing a few of the roosters. Most of the younger roosters have grown as big as they're ever going to get, and have reached that stage where they'll bonk anything and everything in sight. About 18 or 20, in other words. Finally I got determined and caught three of them last night. Evenings are really the only time we stand a chance of catching them -- once they're roosting for the night, safe (or so they think) in the Chook House1.
I thought I had the "right" three... A number of the younger roosters Must Go, along with the Rocky Rooster -- the Grandfather of the flock. He must be about 6 or 7 years old by now, and has been a fantastice Head Honcho, but he's definitely showing his age lately, and we have another youngster who is an exact clone and who we'll keep as his replacement. Needless to say the moon was not up yet when I went out to catch them, so I ended up catching the youngster instead of the Old Fart. So: 2 out of a desired 3 is not too bad.
Started getting the Terrible Two out this morning for Choppie Choppie... the smaller of them put up such a squawkin' and a flappin' and a kickin' and scratchin' that he managed to escape me. Bugger!
Oh well. The best laid plans... At least there's a (very large!) chicken in the freezer right now. With just J & I at home it should make at least three meals. We'll try again tonight.
[1] For readers of Afrikaans, it's really called Die Hoendervleis Paleis. But how the hell do I translate that to English and still make it rhyme?

Dear Microsoft Press Writers,
As a long time user of your database products, I find myself becoming increasingly aggravated by the utter nonsense that your press releases state.
Specifically, the utter lack of knowledge of the theory that underpins your enterprise database engine.
Considering that you are increasingly trying to compete in the VLDB space against Oracle and DB2, it is imperative that no ignorance is shown when it comes to the relational model.
The men and women who manage these VLDB environments will have the "ear" of CTO's and CIO's. These people are usually well versed in the relational model and can spot bullshit from a mile away.
Unfortunately, your current press releases pertaining to Katmai, showed enough ignorance to be spotted by the Huygens probe currently buried under the surface of the moon Titan.
The offending text is as follows.

Driver distraction? There's an app for that...
Road safety charity RoadSafe has revealed that six in ten young drivers agree they're being distracted behind the wheel by smartphone apps - with two in ten saying they've played Angry Birds while driving, and about the same number that they've played Draw Something.
The survey, commissioned by insurance company and Roadsafe member Ingenie, is yet another example of the affect phones are having on road safety.
Startlingly, one in six young male drivers (aged 17-25) said they'd crashed while using a mobile phone behind the wheel.
And while two in ten admit to the unfathomable stupidity of playing smartphone games while driving, even more are using Facebook - one third.
More than four in ten (44%) say they regularly send texts while driving, while 62% say they read them.
"We're in the middle of a perfect storm," said Ingenie founder Richard King, "where the rapid growth of social media and mobile [gaming] is creating a new breed of in-car distraction.
"As well as not texting or making calls, we should all pledge not to tweet, update our status or be tempted by anything else out phone has to offer while driving."
Ingenie is an insurance company that uses telematics technology to monitor its customers' driving habits, and rewards them with lower premiums for safer driving. It has promised to donate £1 to Roadsafe for every person that pledges on Twitter that they won't drive distracted. Use the tag #DontDriveDistracted to do so.

Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies
Louisiana State University
November 16, 2015
The mission of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies is 1) to preserve and effectively transmit to undergraduate and graduate students knowledge about the philosophies and religions that have shaped and continue to shape the history and cultures of the world; 2) to develop in our students the ability to read, to understand, and to think critically, systematically, and synthetically; 3) to generate new knowledge and deeper understanding of philosophical and religious matters as a contribution to knowledge in these disciplines; and 4) to make professional expertise in philosophy and religious studies available to meet the needs of the larger community in appropriate ways.
The vision of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies is to be a community of teacher-scholars of the highest caliber who work together effectively to accomplish the mission of the department.
Discovery: To maintain a publication rate of 2.0 articles1 per faculty member per year over a five-year period (2016-2020), consistent with the average publication rate of the PhD- granting departments of philosophy and PhD-granting departments of religious studies that were surveyed in the 2010 National Research Council report
Learning: To increase by 10% the number of students majoring in philosophy or religious studies, from an average of 106 per year over a five-year period (2010-2015) to an average of 117 per year over the next five-year period (2016-2020)
Diversity: To increase by two the number of women professorial faculty, from five at the end of spring 2016 to seven by the end of 2020
Engagement: To increase the number of service-learning courses offered by the Department, from one in a five-year period (2011-2015) to two in the next five-year period (2016-2020)
1 Here the term "article" refers to either a journal article or a chapter in an edited volume. As in the 2010 NRC survey, a book (whether single-authored, co-authored, or edited) will count as five "articles."

Undrafted Free Agents Who Would Be Steals for Golden State WarriorsJune 27, 2014
Undrafted Free Agents Who Would Be Steals for Golden State Warriors
With the NBA draft in the books and the Golden State Warriors holding steady, the next stage is to find undrafted free agents who could turn into true steals.
The Warriors were in the exact same situation last year, having no pick going into draft night. The team snuck into the first round by making three deals to pick guard Nemanja Nedovic.
With a relatively young roster, the Dubs need to build toward a championship with the quality talent already on the roster. The team has to continue to cultivate youth through picks and undrafted free agents.
Finding an undrafted free agent who can blossom into a legitimate NBA player is a tall task, but it has been done before. Former Warrior Jeremy Lin and Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Wesley Matthews are two recent examples.
Past NBA successes include the names of Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen and Ben Wallace. The Warriors need to dive deep, but there is talent out there.
The undrafted free agents will also have a leg up, as head coach Steve Kerr will be coaching the Summer League team in Las Vegas.
Let's take a look at several players who could develop into steals for the Dubs.
DeAndre Kane, PG, Iowa State
The Warriors need a legitimate backup point guard for Stephen Curry, since Steve Blake will become a free agent. The offense needs someone who can keep a tempo similar to the All-Star starter.
DeAndre Kane is a tall point guard who tilts a 6'4", 200-pound frame and has length and an offensive game. He is very versatile, but most importantly he can defend all three perimeter positions.
He can follow in Curry's footsteps, as he has the knack for hoisting up and converting three-point shots.
As a senior at Iowa State, Kane sunk 39.8 percent of threes putting up a line of 17.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
A major knock on Kane and a reason why he was passed over at the draft is his age. He will be starting his potential rookie season as a 25-year-old.
However, Kane spent three years at Marshall before transferring to Iowa State. As a Cyclone, he played under the tutelage of Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, whom Kane credits for helping him grow as a player.
Kane looks to have an opportunity as a bench leader and could provide some excitement for the second team, as he can drive to the hole, finish and draw contact.
Travis Bader, G, Oakland University
With the Kevin Love trade rumors still circulating about and Klay Thompson still on the fringe of them, the Dubs need to look for reinforcements at the shooting guard position.
Travis Bader is someone who has the skill level and shooting range to back up at the 2 position. He is best known for his work behind the three-point line.
Bader broke former Duke guard J.J. Redick's all-time record of threes made at the Division I level.
He doesn't have the elite size, as he is only 6'5", but he can hold his own against other top-tier college players. He has a high motor and will make the extra effort to chase a ball down.
He is limited on the defensive side of the ball but has a willingness to learn and can focus on improving his deficiencies at the next level.
He could benefit from the open system that Coach Kerr will optimize with the Warriors. Since the three ball is a major focus to the Dubs' game, Bader could fit right in.
Patrick Miller, PG, Tennessee State
Patrick Miller is another worthy option as a backup to Steph Curry. Miller is a quick point guard who is very athletic and can command control of the offense.
He started his college career as a distributor but had to be a scorer in his final year at Tennessee State. This offensive balance makes him a worthy addition to the Dubs, as he is someone who could be a commanding presence with the second team.
Another impressive quality is Miller's ability to drive to the rim, draw fouls and finish. He finished last season with 8.9 free-throw attempts.
During his senior year, Miller put up a line of 23.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
He is also a worthy defender who can use his 6'1" frame and strong build to get into people's faces, deflect balls and fill passing lanes.
His biggest problem is that he focuses too much on setting up his teammates instead of taking his own shots. He needs to improve his three-point percentage if he wants a spot on a free-flowing offense like that of the Warriors.
He is definitely an under-the-radar player who uses his drive to make the most out of his skills.
Rob Loe, F, St. Louis University
Despite the similar name, this Rob Loe has a stronger penchant for hitting the outside jumper than performing on a movie screen. This Loe would be a solid fit as a stretch 4 in the Steve Kerr offense.
Loe is a 6'11", 245-pound forward from New Zealand who could make a solid Southern Hemisphere combination with Australian Andrew Bogut.
Loe has a very high basketball IQ and likes to bark out orders to his teammates on the floor or from the bench. He understands the game very well, much like the Dubs' Draymond Green.
During his run at Saint Louis University, he was coached by former Warrior and SLU assistant, Calbert Cheaney. Per Tom Timmermann of the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch, Cheaney stated that Loe sees the game before it happens: "He knows what to do and when to do it. He's a great passer who thinks one or two moves ahead, and defensively he does a great job at the rim, not fouling but at the same time affecting shots."
Loe's line for the season ended up being 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He also led the team with the best plus-minus rating.
Akil Mitchell, F, Virginia
If the Warriors decide to go the defense-and-rebounding route, Akil Mitchell is one of the undrafted free agents the Dubs need to court.
He can defend up to four positions on the floor and uses his physicality to his advantage. He can block shots, secure difficult rebounds and hold his own in the inside game.
Mitchell showed his skill in a tough ACC Conference by snagging 7.0 boards and 0.6 blocks in 25.7 minutes last season. His offensive game slumped, as his scoring average dropped from 13.1 to 6.8 points per game.
Another plus for Mitchell is that he stayed for all four years at Virginia and earned a better understanding of the game. His high-energy passion and attitude represent his quest to make it to the next level.
He still has some flaws to work on, such as his ability to go left and his free-throw shooting (42.7 percent last season), but he could bolster his reputation and work out the kinks on the Summer League squad.
Justin Cobbs, G, California
Justin Cobbs believes he has the talent to earn himself a spot at the NBA level. His physical strength and ability to play defense are the tools that just might open the door.
He also thinks that the way a point guard handles himself means a lot.
Per the San Jose Mercury News' Jeff Faraudo, Cobbs broke down how California coach Mike Montgomery gave him some old-school advice:
He taught me a lot about team basketball and maturity and owning up to your mistakes, and as a point guard taking ownership of the team," Cobbs said. "So when something goes wrong, it's not really your fault but you should take control. That's helped me become more of a leader.
Cobbs is a 6'3", 195-pound point guard who stayed all four years in college. He is 23 years old, since he had to sit out a year after transferring from Minnesota to Cal after his freshman season.
Cobbs has solid handles, can distribute the ball effectively and won't hesitate to nail a game-winning jumper. The tools are there, as evidenced by his 15.6 points, 5.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game last season.
His desire to make a team better at the next level should be reason enough for the Dubs to give him a look.

Most of Washington State's San Juan Islands don't have grid electricity. Many people have relied on generators, but these days, an increasing number are turning to solar. Renewables installer Eric Youngren discusses how net metering works to pay individual energy producers for power they put back into the grid, and other incentives for small-scale renewable "power plants". He tells us about "run of the river" hydro, powered by diversions rather than dams in creeks. A strong advocate for conservation and efficiency, Eric says we could be running everything in the home on a fraction of the energy we now use, just with rooftop solar. Episode 109.
Cal Broomhead and Melissa Capria of the Energy & Climate Program discuss the rationale, aggressive plans, and activities for city-wide energy self-reliance and greenhouse gas reduction. Tools include energy efficiency in buildings, transit alternatives, alternative vehicle fuels, generating electricity with renewable energy, and solid waste reduction. Episode 74.

With his upcoming film "This Is 40," his work as a producer on "Girls" and a library of classic blockbuster comedies like "Knocked Up" and "Bridesmaids," Judd Apatow has established himself as one of Hollywood's leading behind-the-scenes funny men.
But the writer and director came from humble beginnings. Apatow revealed in an interview with Slash Film that his first writing project was a spec script for an episode of "The Simpsons."
"The first thing I ever wrote was a spec episode of 'The Simpsons ... After only five 'Simpsons' episodes aired, I sat down and tried to write one when I was in my early twenties. And what it was about was they went to see a hypnotism show and at the hypnotism show, they made Homer think he was the same age as Bart.
And then the hypnotist had a heart attack. So now Homer and Bart became best friends and they spent the rest of the show running away because Homer didn't want responsibility and didn't want to be brought back to his real age. So I basically copied that for every movie I've made since."
"The Simpsons" may have been good practice for his TV career as well. Apatow created "Freaks And Geeks" in 1999, starring James Franco, Jason Segel, Busy Philipps and Linda Cardellini. And according to Philipps, all four actors owe their success to Apatow.
"Even though we were all relatively young and mostly inexperienced, [Apatow] validated our ideas and talent by always giving us room to collaborate with them even at age 17, 18, 19," she told HuffPost TV. "It's invaluable to get that kind of confidence just in the beginning of your career -- that you know what you're doing."
"This Is 40" hits theaters on December 21.

These objects are part of the heritage of European civilisation and therefore more properly belong in Britain than they do in the victory trophy collection of an invading Asiatic power.
Turkey has become only the second country after Greece to lay formal claim to an object in the British Museum, and is also demanding the return of a marble head in the Victoria & Albert Museum.Source: The Times (£)
The Turkish Government wrote to the British Museum in January to demand the return of an unprepossessing carved stone slab from the 1st century BC, known as the Samsat Stela, which is on display in Room 52 of the museum.
The 1.3m (4.3ft) basalt stone is neither as well known nor as attractive as the Elgin Marbles, the most celebrated outstanding restitution case on the museum's books, but it is now part of a new frontline in international museum politics.
The stele was discovered in 1882 in a field near Samsat in the south of modern-day Turkey. The slab, which depicts the ancient King Antiochus I greeting Herakles, had previously been used as an olive press and had a large hole drilled through the centre. It was bought by Sir Charles Leonard Woolley, the museum's director of excavations, and became part of its collection in 1927.
In the past two years Turkey has stepped up claims to objects in museums around the world, including the Louvre in Paris, the State Museums of Berlin, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
While many of the claims are longstanding, they have been revived with a fresh vigour since the appointment of Osman Murat Suslu, a director-general of cultural heritage and museums, in 2010. Turkey has started refusing loan requests to museums with disputed objects, affecting exhibition planning.
The V&A has had to postpone a show on Ottoman culture. The British Museum is trying to work out how to mount an exhibition about the Eastern Mediterranean in the time of Tutankhamun without what would have been pivotal loans from Turkey.
Last week Neil MacGregor, the director of the British Museum, wrote to the Turkish authorities laying out the museum's case for retaining the stele. According to the museum: "At no point between 1927 and 2005 have the Turkish authorities, who were fully aware of the stele's location, suggested that it had been improperly acquired or should be returned."
As with the Elgin Marbles, the museum has offered to loan the stele to Turkey for temporary exhibition if Turkey recognises the British Museum's ownership of the object.
Meanwhile, the V&A is waiting to hear Ankara's response to its offer of an indefinite loan of a marble head of a child that was excavated and brought to Britain in 1882. It dates to the 3rd century AD was removed from the Sidamara Sarcophagus that is now in Turkey.
Privately, the V&A is more sympathetic to the Turkish claim than the British Museum because of the circumstances of how the head found its way into the collection, but it is forbidden by law to transfer ownership of the object.
In each case, the disputes have a distinct political flavour. There is suspicion inside both institutions that individuals within the Turkish Government are more interested in publicising the disputes for political purposes than finding a resolution.
A senior source at the V&A said: "The ball is now very much in their court and we really don't know what's going to happen."

Truman's Trials Resonate for Bush
Friday, December 15, 2006
He led the United States into war and saw his popularity plummet, yet some 60 years later his reputation has never been higher: It's small wonder Harry S. Truman seems to hold a special fascination for President Bush these days.
That interest came into focus recently after Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) went public with an account of a meeting last Friday in which he said the president seemed to be comparing his situation to that of Truman in the late 1940s. According to Durbin's account and another source familiar with the meeting, Bush told the gathering of congressional leaders that Truman's approach to dealing with the Cold War was not initially popular but that he was vindicated by history -- the implication being that Bush would be vindicated about Iraq as well.
White House aides later disputed this reading of Bush's comments, but the episode may offer a glimpse into the psychology of a president who, like Truman in his second term, seems beset by trouble and pressures on all sides and who is ready to look to history for some comfort and guidance.
"Everyone loves a winner, and history reflects Harry Truman was a winner," said Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), whose father was a longtime friend of the late president and who met Truman as a young man. "It is all familiar front-yard psychology -- associate yourself with a winner."
By many accounts, Bush is fascinated by history and biography -- he reads extensively and meets periodically with presidential scholars -- and Truman has certainly seemed to be on his mind in recent months. In his commencement address this year at West Point, Bush discussed Truman at some length, lauding his early role in structuring U.S. forces and institutions for the Cold War.
That speech was followed by repeated references to the Democratic 33rd president during the fall campaign, usually as part of cutting attacks on the party of Truman, which Bush said had become the "party of cut and run" in Iraq. In the 2004 presidential campaign, Bush also mentioned Truman repeatedly, often to praise his role in helping reconstruct Japan after World War II.
By coincidence, say White House aides, one of 10 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom today will be David McCullough, whose 1992 biography of Truman did much to restore the luster of his presidency among the public. In a brief telephone interview this week from his home in Maine, McCullough described himself as "more honored" than he has ever been by the award, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the government, and he noted that the medal was created by Truman in 1945.
"I know that President Bush admires Harry Truman -- we have talked about that," McCullough said, though he was cautious about offering any snap assessments of the Bush presidency. "About 50 years has to go by before you can appraise a presidency -- the dust has to settle."
He did say he sees similarities between Truman and Bush, especially in their capacity to endure "merciless criticism and personal abuse" that he doubts "many of us could take."
Perhaps mindful that Bush-Truman comparisons would draw ridicule from Democrats -- the idea is already the subject of derision in the liberal blogosphere -- White House aides were careful to emphasize that the iconic liberal is only one of a number of inspirations for the president. "People do think about the Truman presidency -- but not only the Truman presidency," said one senior White House official, who was not authorized to speak publicly. "It is not as though it's a talisman or lighthouse for any of us."
The official and several other senior administration officials speak mainly about Truman's role in key events of the traumatic early days of the Cold War, including the Berlin Airlift, the passage of the Marshall Plan and defense of South Korea.
Bush has described the struggle against Islamic terrorism in generational terms, and the implication from his aides is that he is setting up structures and strategy to win this long war, even if, as with Truman, some of the particular actions are unpopular.
"By the actions he took, the institutions he built, the alliances he forged and the doctrines he set down, President Truman laid the foundations for America's victory in the Cold War," Bush told the graduating cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in May.
Democrats at last week's meeting seemed surprised by Bush's comments about Truman, but White House press secretary Tony Snow said Bush was making a point that as during Truman's presidency, the United States today faces an "ideological enemy with a global ambition . . . that we were going to have to figure out how to face over an extended period of time."
"I think it's important to note that the president was really not trying to compare himself to Harry Truman so much as to talk about the duration and nature of the struggle," Snow said.
Historians are divided about this kind of assessment from the administration. Fred I. Greenstein, a Princeton scholar regarded as a preeminent authority on the presidency, alluded to one major difference between Bush and Truman, often cited by Democrats. "The Marshall Plan was part of a broad-based diplomatic effort, and it was enacted by Truman's bipartisan leadership of a Republican Congress," he said in an e-mail. "Bush's efforts have been heavily unilateral internationally and divisive internally, except those just after 9/11."
James G. Hershberg, a Cold War historian at George Washington University, said he doubts that history will judge Bush as kindly as it has Truman, saying Truman's roles in fostering European recovery and building the NATO alliance were seen as solid accomplishments at the time. "Bush, by contrast, lacks any successes of comparable magnitude to compensate for his mismanagement of the Iraq war and will be hard-pressed to produce any in his last two years," he said.
But Greenstein said he has been struck by parallels between the two presidents, including their feistiness, the fact that neither seemed up to the job in their early months in office, that both had responses to crises that made them seem more presidential and that both saw their approval levels drop after stalemated wars. "As one who remembers the Truman presidency," he said, "I often have a sense of deja vu."

GR8 Water, Inc. Has a New Distributor "Clean Water Pacific," Which Has Already Purchased a Commercial AWG and Will Be Covering the South Pacific and Surrounding Islands
GR8 Water, Inc. Has a New Distributor "Clean Water Pacific," Which Has Already Purchased a Commercial AWG and Will Be Covering the South Pacific and Surrounding Islands
PORT ST. LUCIE, FL--(Marketwired - Apr 1, 2014) - Water Technologies International, Inc. (OTC Pink: WTII) (PINKSHEETS: WTII), the leader in the technology for atmospheric water generator's production and design, announced today that it has signed a distribution agreement with Clean Water Pacific, Inc. Clean Water Pacific, Inc. has already purchased and showcased a commercial Atmospheric Water Generator as well as received indications of interest on the small, medium and large AWGs for use by municipalities, schools and hospitals.
The water resources of the South Pacific are affected by both severe water quantity shortages and logistics of adequate water supply. In the South Asian and Pacific Islands, the basic service infrastructure struggles to meet the needs of the influx of people that have come in search of economic opportunities and better access to public services. Resource experts say many of these countries face a potential water crisis as a result. Water authorities in these countries struggle to meet the water demands of the rapidly expanding population, due to pipe restrictions and the limited and aged pipe networks. The current water shortages in many places are in fact the result of mandatory rationing. However, those without piped water have no supply to accordingly manage.
Water Technologies Inc.'s CEO, William Scott Tudor, said, "After seeing natural disasters in the South Pacific I knew our products could make a difference in this area. The warm and humid climate is perfect all year long for generating water from air. I am proud to sign up Clean Water Pacific as our distributor in that part of the world. They have already installed an AWG on the ground and are showcasing the product. This is a huge market for Water Technologies based on the shortage of clean drinking water and an important market for us to penetrate. The need for adequate water supplies to sustain life and provide water for industrial real estate and agriculture projects continues!"
Clean Water Pacific, Inc.'s, CEO, Jon Jeffery, said, "Clean Water Pacific is proud to be the newest member of the GR8 Water family of distributors, servicing most of the Pacific Islands. The interest in GR8 Water products in the Pacific Islands, where high temperatures and high humidity are constants throughout the year, is outstanding. Clean Water Pacific donated the first atmospheric water generator to a School in Guam to provide pure drinking water for the children. This demonstration unit is already in place until a purchase order can be approved to allow units to be installed across all schools in Guam. Schools, hospitals and emergency relief organizations are especially excited to receive this sustainable green technology."

Symptom Checker
Step 4: Read and complete the decision guide to learn more about your symptoms.
Frequent Urination in Women
Based on your answers, you have frequent urination and a lot comes out each time. However, you have indicated you don't feel thirsty and are not drinking an excessive amount of fluids. That's unusual since thirst is a very primitive and strong sensation when our bodies lose more fluid than we take in.
Your next step might be to measure how much total fluid you drink over a 24-hour period. During the same period, measure how much urine you put out.
Because our bodies lose water through sweat and breathing, most adults drink about 27 ounces more than they make in urine each day. (One quart equals 32 ounces.)
If you are actually putting out higher volumes of urine compared to the amount you are drinking, call your doctor's office for advice and to arrange an appointment.
Here are some causes of persistent higher urine output:
- High blood sugar related to diabetes mellitus
- A high calcium level in the blood (called hypercalcemia)
- Deficiency of a hormone the kidneys need to hold on to water (called diabetes insipidus)
- Kidney disease that damages the ability of the kidneys to maintain proper water balance
- An insatiable desire to drink water even though you may not be thirsty
- Abdomen and Pelvis

Getting High on The Box Office for Weekend #2, "Party Monster!"
by Brian Brooks
The box office good times continued for Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey's "Party Monster" as it opened in New York, L.A. and Chicago following its debut last weekend, capturing the top spot in the indieWIRE: BOT for the second week. New Yorker Films bowed "Taking Sides" and managed the second place on the chart, while Wellspring's "Carnage" opened in the third position as measured by per screen average. Miramax's "The Magdalene Sisters," meanwhile passed a box office threshold in its sixth weekend in theaters.
Strand Releasing's "Party Monster" remained number-one for a second weekend, keeping the box office high going on seven screens grossing $134,157 for a fabulous per screen average of $19,165. Since opening the previous weekend in San Francisco, "Party Monster" has cumed $161,190. Speaking with indieWIRE last weekend, Strand Releasing co-president Marcus Hu expressed his "thrill" at the film's opener in the Bay Area. He also said that he anticipated a "big opening" for the film in the three big U.S. cities, which most likely must have been great news for the Strand team who are here in Canada for the Toronto International Film Festival. The film took in $20,102 at the Castro Theatre in its debut last weekend.
New Yorker Films debuted Istvan Szabo's "Taking Sides" in two sites over the weekend. The film, based on the life of Wilhelm Furtwangler, the Nazi-era conductor of the Berlin philharmonic opened two screens taking in $22,051 for an $11,026 per screen average and a second place showing on the iW: BOT. Wellspring, meanwhile, bowed Delphine Gleize's "Carnage" on one screen. The drama grossed $7,139. And, Avatar Films opened high school crime film "Zero Day" by Ben Coccio on one screen as well, with $4,499 in ticket sales.
HBO Films/Fine Line's release, "American Splendor" remained in 88 theaters over the weekend taking in $580,938 with a $6,602 average ($12,675 average on Labor Day weekend). The film by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini has cumed over $2.8 million.
Miramax's 2002 Venice and Toronto favorite, "The Magdalene Sisters," spent its sixth weekend in release seeing its cume ascend passed the $3 million mark. For the 3-day total, the film grossed $568,438 on 283 screens ($2,009 average).
Next weekend, look the debuts of Greg Pritkin's "Dummy" and Sophia Coppola's "Lost in Translation," which are screening here in Toronto, and Everett Lewis' "Luster." Also opening this weekend is Eli Roth's "Cabin Fever," which Lions Gate acquired during last year's Toronto International Film Festival.

Hop on the CTA, or take the Metra or South Shore Lines and you're in the heart of one of America's great downtowns in a matter of minutes. And once you're here, getting around is as easy as renting a Divvy bike or joining a guided tour of the Loop's rich history and architectural gems.
For those who live, work or play in the Loop, it means that all the amenities of the city are well within reach—from O'Hare and Midway international airports, which are accessible in less than 45 minutes by train, to adventures in Chicago's diverse neighborhoods.
And for everyone, it makes for a Loop that is truly at the center of it all. Culturally diverse, economically robust and all-together energetic, it's no wonder why so many people make the decision—day after day—to see what the Loop is all about.

Tips for a great answer:
You will need to reset the software in most cases as the printer driver software can have errors while being in use or is shut down. So to reset remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and then connect the Printer to be detected as a new hardware as it will be installed. Now check the printer properties to see the ink levels.
Activate head cleaning before a test is taken .

1. Look at the indicator light on your Lexmark printer.
You'll need to replace ink cartridges when the light flashes or turns red
instead of the standard green.
2. Purchase Lexmark ink cartridges. You can buy the brand
name or purchase a generic version that is compatible with your printer. You
can shop for low cost ink cartridges from ABC Ink.
3. Remove the old cartridges from your printer. Grip the
sides of the Lexmark ink cartridges and pull it out. Dispose of the ink
cartridges in a recycle program like the one at Staples or save the cartridges
for refill.
4. Install the new ink cartridges after removing the
protective tabs. Avoid touching the IC chip when installing the new Lexmark ink
cartridges. Replace the cover of the printer.
5. Allow the Lexmark printer to run a nozzle test. Print
several pages with the new ink cartridges to make sure you installed the ink
cartridges correctly. The indicator light should return to a solid green color.

West Nile virus has reached epidemic levels in Michigan this year, according to state health officials. They're urging people to take preventative measures to avoid being infected with the mosquito-borne illness.
"With so many people enjoying the outdoors this coming weekend, we want to be sure that everyone, especially children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems, are protecting themselves from mosquito bites," said Dr. Dean Sienko, Interim Chief Medical Executive for the the Michigan Department of Community Health.
So far, the department has documented five deaths and more than 80 cases in Michigan this year, with most illnesses reported in the Detroit tri-county area and the suburbs around Grand Rapids. On Thursday morning, the department confirmed the most recent death of an 87-year-old woman from Kent County, according to the Detroit News. No other information was given about the woman.
Sienko told the Detroit Free Press the rapid spread of the virus this year could make it Michigan's worst since 2002, when 644 people came down with it and 51 died.
Cases of West Nile virus are escalating nationwide as well. According The Center for Disease Control, 48 states have reported incidents of the disease, which has infected 1,590 people and killed 66 this year, as of August 28. The CDC said this is the highest number of cases reported through August since the illness was first discovered in the U.S. in 1999.
West Nile virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause inflammation of the brain or the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include high fever, confusion, muscle weakness and severe headaches. Many people bitten by infected mosquitoes show no symptoms; others may become sick within three to 15 days. Children and those over the age of 50 are most at risk of exhibiting severe symptoms.
To prevent infection, health officials recommend using insect repellents that contain the active ingredient DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or other EPA approved repellents; wearing long sleeved shirts and long pants outside; and emptying standing water from buckets, kid's pools, old tires and other sites where mosquitoes might breed. People are also cautioned to avoid being outdoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
This story has been updated after a fifth death caused by the West Nile Virus was reported Thursday morning.

Joanna Garner hasn't herself had 100 heartbreaks.
To be sure, she's had plenty of lackluster dates. And she did manage to go on a succession of a dozen or so first dates several years when she began work on "100 Heartbreaks," her honky-tonk musical.
Performed as if it were a set by a five-piece band fronted by Garner in character as wannabe country star Charlane Tucker, "100 Heartbreaks" opens Tuesday for a run at the Sahara Lounge, the retro-style East Austin club.
But the inspiration for "100 Heartbreaks" is born from Garner's love of classic country music and its quotidian poetry.
Those dates and other life experiences?
"It's not an autobiography," Garner laughs over coffee recently.
She did, however, first alight on the idea for the play several years ago when she lived in Seattle. Just a few years out of college, she was working as a bartender. And the milieu of Saturday night whisky-fueled romantic dreams — and that string of first dates — got her drama-writing skills going.
"Country music is based on telling a simple story in plain language, but it has these amazing turns of phrases," Garner says, not a twinge of country accent to her voice. "And it establishes a communal experience and says 'we're all in this together.' Country music provides the soundtrack to the lowest points of life."
Garner staged short workshop versions of the show — for which she penned the script and all the songs — over the years.
After landing in Austin to begin a graduate degree in playwriting at the University of Texas last year, Garner found herself itching to bring "100 Heartbreaks" to stage.
Further work on the script and a few more songs — and the challenge of finding musicians who could act — resulted in the 90-minute show opening this week.
In "100 Heartbreaks," the not-exactly-young Charlane is on a seemingly endless tour of dive bars with the mirage of Nashville music industry success always on the horizon. Charlane is convinced that to earn her country music bonafides she must have her heart broken 100 times — and so she sets out to do so.
But when gentleman No. 52 turns out to be a real solid and loving guy, Charlane's plan is derailed — and so is her belief that her musical art can only come from suffering.
"Charlane falls in love very easily — too easily," says Garner. "She's a dreamer."
Though there are 17 songs in the show, the underpinnings of "100 Heartbreaks" are less loose than one might think.
"Definitely the songs dovetail with the plot and help move the story along, and I wanted to stage it in a bar — but this is a scripted play," says Garner. (Hear Garner's "One Man Closer to Nashville," on SoundCloud.)
Growing up in central Washington state as the daughter of academics, Garner didn't really cotton to country music — even if the Kittitas Valley can claim plenty of cowboy credibility. She participated in school theater, played in a punk band and loved to read.
Later, Garner started an alt folk duo. Desperate for any paying gig, she and her bandmate agreed to learn some country classics to play at a reception. After a quick immersion into the music of Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and other early country greats, Garner got hooked.
Her play, Garner says, is an homage to — and not a spoof of — country music.
"Certainly there's a humor to the storytelling in country music," says Garner. "But there's a frankness and honesty, too. It's very sincere."
Though immersed in her graduate studies, Garner's nevertheless taken a shine to Austin's music scene and is especially fond of honky-tonks like Ginny's Little Longhorn, The White Horse and legendary Broken Spoke.
Noted alt composer and musician Peter Stopschinski signed on as the show's music director. She had no trouble finding musicians who were willing to act — or actors who were also musicians — depending on how they define themselves. The cast features Heath Allyn, Sean Moran, Eric Roach, Robert Vignisson and Alexander Villarreal.
"Even if they have other creative pursuits," says Garner, "everybody in Austin seems to be in a band."

To Grow Or Not To Grow
Despite well-documented cases of impatiens downy mildew, impatiens still tops the list of bedding plants in terms of flats sold. Based on the 2011 Floriculture Crops Summary, 8,353,000 flats were sold in the USDA's 15-state sample. In the potted plants category, impatiens are in fifth place behind vegetative geraniums, pansies, petunias and seed geraniums (in that order). They're fourth in quantity sold among annual bedding plants in hanging baskets after petunias, vegetative geraniums and New Guinea impatiens.
Impatiens walleriana is clearly still a mainstay crop for many growers. The dilemma that many face is what to do this season. In general, consumers are not very aware of the disease and will still be expecting to purchase impatiens this spring. Many retailers are aware, and some still want to provide what their customers are looking for. Landscapers in affected states will probably stay away from impatiens, since damage is most severe in landscapes. At the top of this chain are growers, who are leery of selling a product to retailers that may develop the disease and produce unhappy customers. And, even if growers do decide to grow impatiens, how many should they produce with the uncertainty in the marketplace?
We went straight to the source, Greenhouse Grower's Fresh Air Forum, to see what growers were planning to do this year.
Paul Westervelt (Saunders Brothers): We expect to sell many, many less. Our primary sales region (the greater Washington D.C. area) was hit pretty hard this year [2012](spring and fall), so we expect it to be a huge issue for landscapers, retailers and homeowners. We're struggling now with how many to grow. We think we'll sell out, but how responsible is it to sell something that is expected to fail? We're offering alternatives and have a preventative spray program planned for the few we do grow. We've also talked with our vendors about their spray programs to make sure our program meshes well with theirs.
Erik Friedli (Flamingo Road Nursery): South Florida was hit last year, and our planting season is just starting again. We are not selling impatiens this year. We're telling our customers that seeing them available in the box stores and elsewhere is an indication that they are not concerned with their success as gardeners. We are trying to switch customers to alternatives, but it is too soon to say how well we are succeeding.
Pamela Johnson (King Farm Inc.): We haven't gotten hit hard yet with this problem, but we are cutting back this year by 40 percent and adding torenia to our program, along with more begonias and New Guinea impatiens. This year is going to be tough by far. Where's that crystal ball?
Michael Pawelek (Farmer and Consultant): I am concerned that the few alternatives will not come close to selling like single impatiens. There are literally whole neighborhoods in the Houston, Texas, area with 100-plus-year-old live oaks shading most yards and esplanades where hundreds of thousands of single impatiens are planted every year.
This is a sad situation. I have been saying for years that breeders need to quit trying to come up with every flower color under the rainbow for every species of plant and instead concentrate on new offerings that were more disease-resistant and required less PGRs at the wholesale level. A good example of a job well done are the newer roses that have been produced in the last 15 years.
Paul Westervelt:
Begonias far outsell impatiens for us, so that's an easy substitute in our region. Then [there's] coleus and SunPatiens. We're also offering other items in smaller numbers (unless customers book them in time to change production) — torenia, porphyracoma, oxalis, caladiums, browallia, ipomoea and anything else I'm confident I can finish.
Does it stink that one of our best selling annuals is being sabotaged by a super- contagious disease? Absolutely. But let's focus on proactive solutions rather than the sky falling. Let's get out in front of it so our customers and their customers are informed and have realistic expectations. I think quietly continuing to sell impatiens as if nothing's wrong is like leading a blindfolded customer to a cliff and hoping they don't fall off it. GG

The remilitarisation of the Rhineland
- Created by: Deborah Mabika
- Created on: 12-01-11 20:00
On 7 March 1936 German soldiers marched into the Rhineland. This was against the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Pact, which the German government had willingly signed in 1925. Hitler followed up the remilitarisation with promises that Germany would sign a 25-year non-agression pact and had no further territorial ambitions in Europe. Britain and France and the League of Nations should have acted against Germany. All that happened was that German actions was condemned by the League but, when a vote was cast, only Soviet Russia voted in favour of imposing sanctions on Germany.
Why was there no actions against Hitler?
Hitler had chosen his moment carefully. Britain and France were more concerned about Mussolini's invasion of Abyssinia. The French government was divided and not prepared to…

Lopetegui happy with Spain win
Spain coach Julen Lopetegui said he was satisfied with Saturday's World Cup qualifying win over Macedonia in the absence of a number of key stars.
An own goal sent Spain on their way before Vitolo, Nacho Monreal and Aritz Aduriz completed a 4-0 rout at home to the Macedonians.
Despite the absence of Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta, Diego Costa and more, Spain remain top of Group G ahead of Italy on goal difference.
Speaking to reporters post-match, Lopetegui said: "Games never go exactly as you wish, but we are happy to get the three points, with a good result against a good team.
"We knew how they would play, that it would be difficult to control the game. But we had very good moments, and made many chances. They had a few chances, but we are happy to get the three important points."
"We were missing many players," he added. "But we had confidence in the players who came in, and they all did very well.
"The attitude of those who come in is the most important. They showed talent and ambition."
Lopetegui singled out Vitolo for praise, after the 27-year-old Sevilla winger netted his third goal in four World Cup qualifiers, converting a second-half header.
"[Vitolo] is playing regularly as he responds to what we ask for," he said.
"He is playing well for us. He always wants to learn more, has good technique, understands the game, and is physically good. He will keep improving and be an important player for us."

New mom Kim Kardashian was forced to abandon her elaborate plans to dodge the paparazzi when she gave birth last month (Jun13) after doctors urged the reality star to deliver her daughter five weeks ahead of schedule.
The socialite welcomed little North with her rapper boyfriend Kanye West on 15 June (13) and her mom Kris Jenner reveals she and her daughter faced a mad dash to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for the birth when doctors told the socialite to drop what she was doing and get ready for labour.
During the premiere of her new program The Kris Jenner Show on Monday (15Jul13), she explained, "I was doing (TV show) Good Day L.A., they had sent a limo for me to do it. I was off-line as it's live TV. I hate opening my BlackBerry (phone) after that, and then I've got an email from Kim marked 'urgent.' (It said,) 'I have to have the baby today. Get here today, fast!'"
Jenner quickly made plans to get home, pick up her pregnant daughter and hop into a decoy vehicle at a local hotel, where they ran into Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who was helping Kardashian plan a Father's Day (16Jun13) surprise for West - a signed computer mouse.
She continued, "We get to the hotel, and we're so smooth, but... (then) I see Steve Wozniak and his wife, Janet, standing in the foyer. Kim then heads over like nothing's wrong to chat to Steve and Janet. She's acting like she's at a cocktail party and I'm panicking. Finally we get in the getaway car. And Kim lies down and then yells, 'Mom! Hit the floor!' We're in a Mini-Cooper and there was no room, but I did it."
The last-minute production went off without a hitch and Kardashian and her mom eventually made their way into the hospital through the kitchen and via a secret elevator unnoticed.
During Jenner's show, she also duped fans into thinking she was debuting little North on the program by walking onstage with a dark-haired baby in her arms, but the tot actually belonged to her stylist.
Joking about the prank, she said, "Kim's just got to do that on her own time. Let her have her privacy for a little bit and calm down. And when she comes out, she comes out."

The Angry Arab on Nakba Day (15/5):
"On this sad day, one should pledge to the people of Palestine that we shall not forget and we shall not forgive - ever. We shall count your dead and wounded, one by one (we know that all Israeli crimes are registered in notebooks, as Mahmoud Darwish has said). We commit to: No peace with Israel. No negotiation with Israel. No recognition of Israel. That all deeds and treaties between Israel and Arab tyrants represent only the latter's oil, polygamous ruling families and external backers. These tyrants never speak for the Arab people. We commit to full return AND compensation. And when Palestine is liberated, we will ensure a safe, peaceful, democratic and secular transfer of power. All Zionist flags will be torn down, but can be used as bath mats - we should commit to recycling in liberated Palestine."

In Friday's edition of the No Huddle, Hardy takes Gresh and Zo through a number of stories around the NFL.
To start, the guys listen to an open mic slip-up on the NFL Network last night by Brad Nessler. Apparently Brad Nessler's microphone was left on while Rich Eisen was talking.
Josh Freedman is battling some tardiness issues in Tampa Bay after missing the team photo. Has Freedman's lateness been a recurring issue, according to his head coach Greg Schiano?
Mike Wallace continues to complain about his lack of touches with the Miami Dolphins. What does the team's quarterback Ryan Tannehill have to say about it?
In a contrast of styles to Bill Belichick, the guys listen to Mike Tomlin speak with plenty of openness about the Steelers' injuries.
Finally, Gresh gives his two cents on the big Alabama-Texas A&M showdown on Saturday.

This page describes an out-of-date version, the current version is described at perplex_66.html.
What's different about Perple_X 07?
Making Perple_X 07 Function as Earlier Versions
Downloading the programs
From December 2006 through February 2008 a beta version of Perple_X 07 was available as an alternative to the ostensibly stable version of Perple_X 06. As of March 2008 Perple_X 07 is the default version of Perple_X. An unfortunate consequence of the change in versions is that most of the examples and tutorials referred to at the documentation page are out of date. The out-of-date examples and tutorials are, in most cases, useful because the basic information passed between the various programs has not changed although many of the prompts have been eliminated or reordered.
The major changes introduced in the 07 version are:
Compositional resolution and the resolution used for the mapping of phase relations is controlled by keywords (auto_refine, iteration, initial_resolution, grid_parameters, and increment) specified globally in a file named perplex_option.dat. To use the Perple_X effectively it is essential to understand these keywords.
By default, calculations involving solution phases are done in two cycles by the program VERTEX, an exploratory stage used to estimate the range of phase compositions and an auto-refinement stage in which these estimates are refined. The two cycles are executed automatically by VERTEX if the auto_refine keyword is set to "automatic". If the auto_refine is set to "manual", then VERTEX must be executed once for each cycle.
Perple_X uses adaptive (Connolly 2009) or non-adaptive (Connolly 2005) optimization strategies depending on the type of calculation, formerly Perple_X used the non-adaptive strategy for all calculations. In non-adaptive optimization the possible compositions of solution phases are represented by "pseudocompounds" that are statically defined at the outset of a calculation, whereas in adaptive optimization the pseudocompounds are iteratively redefined to increase accuracy. The adaptive strategy is used for constrained optimization problems, i.e., gridded minimization typically used for isochemical phase diagram section and phase fractionation calculations. The non-adaptive strategy is used for unconstrained optimization problems, typically phase diagram (Schreinemakers) projections, multidimensional composition diagrams, and iso-potential phase diagram sections.
Output generated from constrained minimization calculations is plotted with PSSECT and analyzed with WERAMI, both programs take the name of the problem definition file, generated with the program BUILD, as input (rather than the plot file name as in previous versions). Output generated from unconstrained calculations is plotted with PSVDRAW, as previously PSVDRAW takes the name of the plot file as input.
The program MEEMUM does free energy minimization as a function of interactively specified environmental and compositional parameters for a system defined from a problem definition file generated with BUILD.
Solution model file (solution_model.dat) issues:
Perple_X 07 cannot read certain types of microscopic formulation solution models that were included in earlier solution model files such as newest_format_solut.dat, these models must be reformulated as macroscopic models.
Replicate models used to represent immiscible phase compositions (e.g., "AbPl" and "AnPl" to represent albite-rich and albite-poor compositions of the plagioclase model "Pl(h)") have been eliminated in favor of general models. Such replicates are unnecessary in Perple_X 07 because the program identifies immiscible phases automatically. Replicate models are sometimes easier to interpret and eliminate some complications associated with using a single model for immiscible phases, thus for some purposes users may wish to reintroduce replicate models.
Some solution models, notably Cr-, Ti-, and Mn-bearing solutions, in solution_model.dat have non-linear subdivision schemes.
The graphical user interface PerpLith cannot be used with Perple_X 07.
Phase equilibria can be computed explicitly as a function of the activity or fugacity of a chemical species in addition to chemical potentials as possible formerly. As a consequence the program MU_2_F used formerly to convert chemical potential diagrams to diagrams as a function of fugacity or activity is obsolete.
The polygonalized phase diagram section strategy (Connolly and Petrini, 2002) has been eliminated. As a consequence the program POLYGON and the pseudosection tutorial are obsolete. Refer to the seismic velocity tutorial for an up-to-date illustration of how to calculate and manipulate phase diagram sections.
Perple_X 07 is vastly superior to Perple_X 06 (with the exception that with the default settings specified in perplex_option.dat the program may not resolve solvii well). Despite this superiority some users prefer the earlier version. Perple_X 07 can be made to function essentially as previous versions by suppressing auto_refine, adaptive optimization and global solution model resolution settings. To suppress these features specify the following keywords in perplex_option.dat as:
initial_resolution 0.0
hard_limits on
iteration 0 1 1
auto_refine off
With these settings Perple_X 07 can read solution model files used in earlier versions (with the exception that it cannot read microscopic formulation models).
The Perple_X programs and data files can be downloaded via the links provided below. Archives provided by a third party include the version date (mmm_dd_yy) in the archive name, comparison of this date with the Perple X update log indicates issues that may arise with the out-of-date programs.
On July 16, 2011 Perple_X 07 was replaced by Perple_X 6.6.6. Old versions of Perple_X 07 can be copied from www.perplex.ethz.ch/perplex/old_perplex

Newly preserved and restored, a rare piece of bay area history reopens for visitors on Sunday. (See below for details of the reopening day ceremonies)
The federal immigration station on Angel Island, as seen above in 1915, was reached by a long wooden dock which no longer exists. Most of the other structures remain, with the exception of the main administration building (seen in the left foreground in the photo below), which was partially destroyed by fire in 19xx. The restored barracks building is on the hill to the right, with the station hospital on the far hill to the left. You can read a much more extensive history of the facility here.
One of the interpretive park rangers at Angel Island, Casey Lee, describes and then translates a poem that was carved into the wooden wall in one of the smaller rooms at the Immigration Station barracks. It has been preserved and will now be on public display.
Poetic Waves is a elegant and detailed website devoted to the poetry of Angel Island.
