NASHVILLE, TN. – Beginning on March 22, Cheekwood will host Japanese Woodblock Prints: Selections from the Judith and Joseph Barker Collection in the Museum of Art. Like Cheekwood's upcoming Modern Twist bamboo sculpture exhibit, the Barker Collection showcases revered Japanese traditions through fine art, skill and craftsmanship.
Dating back more than three centuries, woodblock printing in Japan has consistently featured images of women and landscapes, though the styles have evolved with time. The first prints were commonly called Ukiyo-e, or "floating world pictures," depicting scenes from Tokyo's entertainment district. The prints in the Barker collection, however, come from the late 1800s and into the middle of the twentieth century. During this period, the art became known as Shin Hanga, and focused heavily on images of fashionable women.
As Western influences continued to change Japanese culture, shin hanga came to represent the "modern girl," or modan garn. The prints began to incorporate a new level of perspective, depth and detail, apparent in the selections of this exhibition.
"We are so excited to bring pieces from the Barker Collection to Nashville," Said Jochen Wierich, Curator for Cheekwood's Museum of Art. "This exhibition is a natural complement to the sculptures of Modern Twist, and a beautiful representation of Japanese history and culture. Major museums around the world have extensive holdings of prints from this era—we're honored to present a selection from an internationally renowned private collection."
The Barker Collection will be on display at Cheekwood beginning March 22 through May 27. The exhibition is presented by Dickinson Wright, PLLC and is a promised gift to the Hood Museum of Dartmouth College.

Biodiversity of Gandhisagar Lake
Neha Dhage and Harshal Choudhari
Geographic focus: India / Gandhisagar Lake
Date completed: 2002
Gandhisagar Lake is a culturally and spiritually important water body in the central region of India. However, its long and close association with surrounding human settlements has left it contaminated. Neha Dhage and Harshal Choudhari, two students from Shivaji Science College in India, discussed the history of the lake and the pattern of human activities that affect its ecological wellbeing. The students also use maps to demonstrate land use changes over time. To restore the environmental quality of the lake, they recommended establishment of sewage treatment plants, better control of fishing in the lake itself, and periodic desilting of the water.

Jig Journal: Flush-cutting Jig
An end to the troublesome task of trimming solid-wood edging.
By Christopher Schwarz
Pages: 80-82
From the November 2008 issue #172
Buy this issue now
Adding a solid-wood edge to plywood is a necessary but evil task for most woodworkers. And while clamps and cleverness go a long way toward getting the edging stuck to the plywood, the real trouble begins when you trim the edging flush to the plywood.
Thanks to the ever-shrinking thickness of plywood's exterior skin, it seems to get harder every year to work the stuff without cutting through the face veneer and exposing the ugly plies below. So you have to be careful any time you deal with the stuff.
There are lots of ways to trim the edging, and I've tried just about every one of them.

Minnesota Senate Leader: Rebate Checks 'Unlikely'
ST. PAUL (AP) — Don't count on a sales tax rebate check like the ones that became popular in prior years Minnesota ran a budget surplus.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk said Monday that it's unlikely his chamber would go that route if there are extra dollars for lawmakers to allocate next year. A forecast last week showed $825 million available but a new report will come out as lawmakers return in late February.
The Democrat from Cook says his preference is to add more money to the state's budget reserves, consider transportation investments and make other tax and spending decisions that don't have a lasting budget impact.
He says some money could be used to help nursing homes adjust to a possible increase in the state's minimum wage.

I got halfway through the book and got curious to see what was at the end, where this site was mentioned. once i got here i was immediatly interested in computer security, however i dont see any real mention of the "Basic" language. is it worth it to continue learning basic, or should i take what i know from basic, and apply it to another language that could be more worth my time? if so, what language should i learn? I am very interested in hacking, and any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, another week in the town of Xiao Shan (depressing mountain) has proven to be another decent one. My main duties as of late have been to go around Zhejiang province with some of the government workers I work with, and inspect factories. These factories have contracts with companies outside of China so mainly all of the materials they make will be exported. It is the government's job to go in and make sure the products are up to snuff. In fact my main duty on these little adventures is to really make sure nobody is handing money under the table to maybe have a government official turn a blind eye on certain things. It happens all of the time, sad but true, communists countries tend to be very corrupt. But I still have a good time going with them, and on my end I just make sure that we are doing things legit out here. A lot of foreign companies even though have to comply with the Chinese regulations as far as exporting goods go will hire a third party…like us…to work alongside the government officials to make sure their products are really what they say they are. It has definitely given me a good look as to how our biggest trading partner runs things.
Every Sunday I have the opportunity to attend LDS church services, which was a surprise for me. We meet for an hour once a week, and mainly just socialize. We are not allowed to attend church services with Chinese Nationals and what not, but they can meet amongst themselves as well, and in every major city in china there is a local LDS Chinese branch. Even though communism frowns upon religion, and has done their best to snuff it out among the locals in the past, religion is slowly starting to make a comeback in china, though if you're a member of the communist party it is illegal for you to have a religious belief, basically the party is your belief. But as the closet capitalists are coming out in china, starting with the late Deng Xiao Ping the damage inflicted during the Cultural Revolution is starting to heal, and china is becoming more and more capitalistic every day. In fact a lot of the guys I work with like to joke that Chinese communists are more capitalists than Obama is. (Referring to tariffs against Chinese tires)
The 60 year of PRC rule in China is coming up and celebrations will last for 4 days starting on Thursday, they also have a mid autumn festival during the celebrations so everybody here is excited for the extra time off work.

Faith killing. A young mother maintained that voices in her head told her to test her faith in God, causing her to repeatedly slam her infant son to the ground and down a flight of stairs. Jennifer Cisowski, 21, of Connecticut, killed her 8-month-old son Gideon Fusscas in his grandmother's upscale Florida home on Aug. 21, later saying she believed he would rise from the dead if her faith were strong enough. Source: Tampa Tribune, Aug. 22, 2001
"Mama, I love you." A Talladega County jury in August found Teresa Ann Archie, 40, guilty of the 1996 murder of her daughter Shavon Jackson. Archie, a paranoid schizophrenic, chased her daughter through their home, shooting her twice in the back after becoming convinced her 16-year-old was possessed by Satan, and that God wanted her to cleanse her home of all Satanic influence. She told police Shavon's last words were: "Mama, don't shoot me, I love you." She replied, "I know, Baby, but I have to do the Lord's will." Source: The Daily Home, Aug. 15, 2001
"Killer, we support you." "I killed the women for the sake of God, and for the protection of my religion because they were prostitutes and [were] corrupting other people," Iranian construction worker Saeed Hanaei admitted to reporters in July, after police fingered him as their suspect in the killing of 19 prostitutes in Mashhad. Each was killed on a Sunday--strangled with a headscarf. Neighbors gathered outside his home chanting "Hanaei, the killer of corrupt people, we support you."

God's crime spree. God made him commit a crime spree was the defense of bible-toting Henry Glen West, sentenced by an Okahoma County judge in April to two life terms. During West's 5-hour crime spree in January 1998, he severely beat his brother, raped his brother's girlfriend, broke into a house, robbed a convenience store clerk and then tried to run her over twice. At a second convenience store, he repeatedly shot the husband-and-wife owners. Source: Daily Oklahoman, April 21, 2001
Religiously-motivated stabbing. A man who fatally stabbed his son and tried to kill his mother-in-law and daughter was motivated by religion, according to relatives.

"I've been a securities regulator for 20 years, and I've seen more money stolen in the name of God than in any other way," Deborah R. Bortner, president of the North American Securities Administrators Association, said at a news conference on Aug. 7.
She warned that "affinity fraud"--the building of trust through religious and other loyalty, is increasing. In the last three years, religious con artists in 27 states have scammed at least 90,000 investors, costing more than $1.8 billion.
By comparison, about 13,000 investors lost $450 million in religion-based fraud over the previous 5-year period.
"Con artists are clearly preying on the faithful more than ever before," said Bortner. "The con artist makes faith in God synonymous with faith in the investment scam."
The caveat by the Association came a day after the sentencing of Gerald Payne, founder of the Tampa-based Greater Ministries International Church, to 27 years in prison for one of the nation's largest Ponzi schemes. Payne and his partners took in almost $580 million by promising 20,000 investors that the ministry would double their money through "divinely-inspired investments."
Another recent high profile case involves the Baptist Foundation of Arizona, created in 1948 under the auspices of the Southern Baptist State Convention of Arizona, which raised $590 million through 120 shell corporations.

Lots of fishing going on
June is a busy month around our house. With Cash playing on four baseball teams and one basketball team and Koby playing on three baseball teams and one basketball team, we have only had two days in June without a game of some kind. Both of those dates were due to rainouts. We needed the rain, but my Preps baseball team sure needs to play some games, too.• • •This week, we had one of those rainouts, so Koby and I met up with Chuck Restine for a little fishing in Chuck's honey-hole over near Bokoshe. We caught a few fish including a 2.5-pound chunk that Koby reeled in. Cash has been begging to go, but he was over at a friend's and missed out on this trip. That boy loves to fish, and just can't get enough of it.As soon as my schedule slows down a bit after June ends, I am going to take him on an all-day outing. My boat has not been in the water yet, but I will change that next month. It will be hot, but a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work.Have a great week!• • •E-mail questions or comments to email@example.com.

Then you get a call and you find out that it was someone from your community. And then you learn where the victim lived and went to school and you realize that you know many of his friends and neighbors.
I did not know Roman Pirozek, Jr., the young man who died in a tragic accident while flying a remote-controlled helicopter, but know many people who knew and loved him. On the pages of Facebook, one friend after another reacted with shock and dismay in the hours after the accident that claimed the young man's life.
Schoolmates, friends, neighbors. They all struggled to make sense of how a man could be taken so quickly, and so young.
Ultimately there is no making sense out of any of it, but you do what you can in order to deal with it. I'm reminded of the tragic events of nearly twenty years ago that claimed the life of another man who died doing what he loved most.
Jimmy Young – who was, like Roman, a graduate of St. Thomas the Apostle – was killed along with two other firemen fighting a blaze in lower Manhattan.
Like Jimmy, Roman was a good kid who didn't get into any trouble, who found a passion for something unique and excelled at it. And like Jimmy Young, Roman Pirozek, Jr. died doing what he loved doing best.
It was estimated that ten thousand firefighters packed the streets of Woodhaven for Jimmy Young's funeral. Everyone you spoke to either knew Jimmy Young or knew someone who knew him. And they all had kind words to share about him, and fond memories.
The same is true for young Roman. Speak to his friends and neighbors and you'll hear about a bright, energetic young man with a passion for life; a good young man with a loving, caring family and a bright future ahead of him.
It's what makes it all the more painful for those who knew him.
As for our community, we are terribly saddened by the loss of someone so young and gifted. Our future depends on the young people of this community, and is strengthened by the energy and hope embodied by the youth of Woodhaven.
Even if you did not know this young man, know that his passing hurts the entire community of Woodhaven as there is one less bright light in our future.
On behalf of the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association, we offer our deepest condolences to the Pirozek family. We cannot comprehend the pain you are feeling, but we know that you are being comforted by your many good friends and neighbors who loved Roman.
Know that they speak of him with love and that he will be remembered and live on in their memories forever. Know that their lives, and the lives of everyone that Roman touched, was changed forever not by the way that he died, but by the way that he lived.

Overcome Lyrics
Caught up as a fool, dictated by wrong, what is right. Chained, gagged and blinded by a society with no sight. Living like a game piece trapped in a pit of ignorance, whose every move is by the masses. Cowards never take a chance. I will overcome - we will over come. The weak soul without a bit of conviction will lead a life full of self-destruction. The ease of iniquity, the breakdown of strength has deserted virtues thus ceased to grow. But the diehard sucker pinned down for security, afraid to follow your heart - the time is now to break free! Have some hope, strive to see the light, step out of the destructive life.

How to remove GamesBlox Adware
What is GamesBlox:
Threat Classification: PUP/adware
GamesBlox is just another fake, bogus and deceptive application, that claims to allow users to play various online flash games, however our malware research team concluded, that it is a dangerous adware and/or a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), because of the intrusive ads marketing and because of the suspicious behaviour, once installed (it collects lots of private browsing data). The GamesBlox adware is known to infiltrate users systems without their consent or other permission and may cause random unwanted browser redirects, browser settings modification and/or other potentially harmful events for your computer. Although, that the GamesBlox adware may look and feel like a regular and legit software app, the majority of the reputable malware researchers around the world classified it as a dangerous adware and/or a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), capable of causing lots of damage and even data loss on the user PC. Our security specialists strongly advise you to remove GamesBlox as soon as possible to prevent further data theft and/or PC damages. Furthermore, our security analysts strongly recommend to run a full system malware scan – using an up-to-date, reputable and reliable anti-malware program, like the award-winning SpyHunter 4. The GamesBlox Adware is dangerous mainly, because of the intrusive web ads, which could easily be exploited by hackers and inject even more dangerous infections on your system such as ransomware. After a closer review, our security researchers warned us, that the GamesBlox Ads have being generated by a malicious browser extension, which primary goal is to generate as many web hits as possible, to earn more money for its developers! Finally, our security analysts concluded that the GamesBlox Adware is just another ad-supported program, that may and will use all kinds of deceptive and malicious tactics, just to make you install it. Once installed, the GamesBlox adware will start displaying lots and lots of irritating, unwanted ads, which are the main revenue generator for its developers. The distribution of these kinds of malware infections has being done mainly via suspicious or questionable software bundles, hosted by suspicious and even dangerous websites. These software bundles are usually configured to perform silent or stealth installations, to keep these extra installs away from the eyes of the victims. Once successfully installed, the GamesBlox Adware will change your browser and/or system settings, making the recovery much harder. Moreover, GamesBlox will start monitoring and collecting all kind of private data, including browsing history, web searches and their locations, account credentials, tracking cookies as well as other sensitive private information, which later will either be sold or shared with some 3rd party company, which at the end will use it for their own marketing purposes. If you have GamesBlox installed on your PC, your desktop and/or browser window will most likely be filled with intrusive and very annoying web ads, banners, pop-up windows or other 3rd party advertisements. If you start getting various web ads, claiming that they are – By GamesBlox, Ads by GamesBlox, GamesBlox Ads, Powered By GamesBlox, Brought by GamesBlox or Brought to you by GamesBlox – you should consider your computer infected by a dangerous malware and we strongly advise you to remove the GamesBlox adware as soon as possible. It seems that the GamesBlox adware works with all the well-known browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Usually, users that have GamesBlox adware installed on their computers might experience various intrusive and very irritating pop-up or pop-under ads, coupon boxes, banners, search suggestion windows, link advertisements or other commercials, displayed on popular web pages. The victim should consider, that the search results have being compromised as well, most likely overloaded with SPAM and other 3rd party advertising.
GamesBlox is usually bundled with some other free ad-supported software products and has being installed by default, when the user accepts the EULA, while performing an express/recommended installation of that software bundle. The possible distribution of GamesBlox varies but is not limited to – installing third-party toolbars, free software products, video editing software, codecs, downloading e-mail attachments, clicking on ads or banners etc.
The main purpose of GamesBlox is to generate as much traffic as possible to certain domains, which could easily be monetized via one of the many online marketing and/or affiliate platforms. Please note, that the creators of such or similar adware or malware would collect information that might be used to track your browsing habits, however often they collect much more than your web search history. GamesBlox may use cookies and other relevant techniques, that might be used to collect private data like account information, username, passwords, financial information including credit card and bank account numbers etc. That's why this malware infection should not be left unattended and needs to be terminated immediately, as it is a serious threat to your private data and online security.
!!! Please note, that these infections could potentially bring up other malware to your computer and even cause a loss of data. Please, do not underestimate such threats.

Shares of Dell got a lift after Goldman Sachs moved from a bearish to bullish rating on the stock, after having a negative outlook for the company over the past two years. It also increased its target price, despite the company reporting disappointing results last month.
The brokerage said, "While we remain cautious on PC and server demand trends, we believe many of our long-held secular concerns have become consensus." Therefore "sentiment and expectations" could begin to "tilt positively in 2013."
The portion of the report that really caught investors' eyes said that the company's cash balance (roughly $3 per share) "provides some downside buffer as it produces opportunity for an LBO or levered recap under the right conditions."
That said, the analyst said that with a market cap of $18 billion, a private equity acquisition could be difficult and that a more realistic prospect would be using the cash for strategic purposes or repurchasing shares.
Dell (DELL : NASDAQ : US$10.06), Net Change: 0.42, % Change: 4.36%, Volume: 61,471,851

MBTA chief has no plans to hike fares
Scott hopeful lawmakers will find new funding for T
The new head of the MBTA says she has no immediate plans to hike fares or cut services until at least March, when lawmakers are scheduled to discuss new revenue streams for the financially troubled transit agency.
General Manager Beverly Scott told The Boston Globe in her first extended interview since starting last week that she hopes lawmakers in the next two months will come up with new funding for the T, relieving pressure on the agency.
Also Wednesday, T officials put the size of the MBTA deficit at $132 million for the budget year that starts July 1.
Scott, who has led or worked for large transit agencies in several regions, said she believes leaders and the public here understand the issues and want to reinvest in transportation.

Welcome from the Chair
While the Department today retains its traditional emphasis on the study of the Greek and Latin languages, we are driven by a conception of Classics as an interdisciplinary field that benefits from a variety of approaches and methods. In keeping with this vision the research interests of our faculty span a wide range, including language and literature, history, the history of art and archaeology, linguistics, reception studies, philosophy, and the history of science. We believe that the cultural productions of Greek and Roman civilization are worthy of study both in their own right and for their continuing, vital relevance to the world we live in today.For more than a century the Department of the Classics at Harvard University has been at the forefront of research on the language, literature, history, archaeology, and other dimensions of the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome.
If you study Classics as an undergraduate at Harvard, you'll become familiar with at least one of the ancient languages and learn how to handle complex evidence, while acquiring an appreciation for key aspects of the cultural legacy of two of the civilizations that have most shaped the modern world. Most of our concentrators pursue non-academic careers in fields such as medicine, law, or business. Graduate students join a cohort of approximately five per year, and are encouraged to pursue a broad range of interests in connection with other programs and departments while deepening their mastery of the Greek and Latin languages.
I hope you will browse the pages on this site to learn more about our students, faculty, current events, and other programs. Please feel free to get in touch with me or with any of my colleagues if you have any questions.
Mark Schiefsky

Yes, it's true. I really have, finally, graduated. For years I have been styling myself as the "most educated, least degreed" person I know, thanks to my years and years of graduate work without a conclusive event (i.e., the receiving of an actual graduate degree). But no longer, because now I actually have a graduate degree. It's not quite the one I expected, earlier in my life. On the other hand, an MBA means you have learned some things that people will actually pay you to know, which makes for a nice contrast with linguistics.
I have many plans to fill up the empty hours ahead, now that I won't be sitting through three hours of Finance class on a Monday night, or eight hours of Strategies of Growth on a Saturday. The months ahead will include:
- Training the dogs for Good Canine Citizen certification.
- Setting up a Torah study website for the temple. I already have a design in my head.
- Planning the vegetable garden ahead of time this year.
- Organizing the basement, so I have room for
- Making Art.
- Translating Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada (because I happen to have a copy and it seems as a good a way as any to practice Éspañol).
- Writing more.
- And of course, vacuuming. And working to pay off that student loan.

See The Butler. It is a wonderful review of American history since Eisenhower as well as a reminder of events that have transformed the nation and each of us.
History flows on like a river: Sometimes the movement is peaceful, other times, it rages and destroys. Often the surface seems serene, but sometimes dangerous snags, currents, and creatures lurk in the murky depths undetected by those of us observing from the shore. It is usually wise not to wade into such conditions. However, if we see a ship capsize and people drowning, should we dive in to attempt to save them?
That situation seems to describe the conflict the US is feeling over Syria. Can we learn anything from the past?
We recently saw The Butler. For me, it was like reliving more than 50 years of my life. I will be interested to learn what younger people think of this movie, as they did not live during these turbulent times of conflict here and abroad and within families.
The movie starts with a scene of cotton being harvested by black hands in Tennessee. Cecil Gaines who eventually becomes a butler in the White House, is a boy. He witnesses the horrible abuse of his mother and the murder of his father by the white landowner's son. The mother of the rapist takes Cecil into the house. She is as helpless as a woman as the black laborers are. She teaches Cecil to read, illegal at the time, and to serve in the mansion "properly," which is the foundation of his future.
Cecil Gaines (played by Forrest Whitaker) served as a butler in the White House for eight presidents. During his 30 years of service, major events changed the US, and Cecil was witness to history.
Meanwhile, Cecil and his wife, Gloria, played by Oprah, live their private lives experiencing the effects of the racial attitudes and the war in Viet Nam. On the surface, their lives are pleasant, but conflicts erupt between them as the nation erupts in conflicts over civil rights and the war in Viet Nam.
The film incorporates actual film footage of those events that lead to America today. It begins with the Republican convention when Ike, the war hero, is chosen as the Republican candidate for president (1953-1961). It replays the Civil Rights marches and the venom and violence as Eisenhower sent troops to enforce integration of the Little Rock schools in 1957. I will never forget seeing on TV, James Meredith walking onto the campus at the University of Mississippi, in 1962, and being blasted by firehoses, and as his body was pushed across the ground by high force water, police dogs snarled and snapped at him. It was a terrible shock to my North Dakota sensibilities to become aware of what went on in the south.
I read Black Like Me written in 1957 to inform myself. I was sickened at what lurked in the mud of America. Then I read Steinbeck's Travels With Charley published in 1962. His description of the first little girl's tiny foot stepping out of a car to brave the snarling, cursing mob of white "mothers" broke my heart. Steinbeck had set out to rediscover his America. He had written sympathetically about working people during the drought and depression. Now it was after WWII and he wanted to know who we had become. He was so sickened by the hatred he discovered during integration that he cut short his journey of discovery and returned to New York, saddened and discouraged.
In 1968 the Democratic Convention was held in Chicago. LBJ had declared he would not run again, and Hubert Humphrey was chosen. Anti-war protestors showed up and were faced with 11,900 Chicago police, 7,500 Army, 7,500 Illinois National Guard, and 1,000 Secret Service. The riots were terrible and the movie shows it all. Meanwhile, Cecil serves faithfully as one son is repeatedly arrested for marching and protesting and another goes to Viet Nam.
The assassinations of JFK (1963) and Bobby Kennedy (1968), of Martin Luther King (1968) and of Malcom X (1965) all preceded the violence in Chicago. The film inserted into The Butler brought back the sick feelings I had during these events. How we endured so much tragedy is testament to our strength as individuals and as a nation.
The audience re-experienced the horror of the JFK assassination. Jacky in her blood soaked suit as LBJ was sworn in, and the photos of little Caroline and John John saluting as his father's coffin went by, still break our hearts. If you are old enough, you may also remember the muffled drums and the beautiful stallion, the caisson, the beautiful stallion Black Jacki, with the boots backwards in the stirrups. Who could forget that day!
A little chuckle passed through the viewers as LBJ showed the scar from his appendectomy and his beagles. Honestly portrayed were the crude vocabulary of LBJ and Richard Nixon, as well as the Watergate break in. During the shameful days of the Nixon Administration, Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned and went to jail. Martha Mitchell, wife of Attorney General John Mitchell, kept calling the press and urging further investigations into the Nixon creeps, but the press dismissed her as "a drunk." John Mitchell was later disbarred and Watergate vindicated at least some of Martha's accusations. But a film can only show so much, so events surrounding the Mitchells and Agnew were not part of this movie as they did not touch the life of the butler, Cecil Gaines.
The resignation of Nixon was another sad and painful time for the nation, but our system worked and that restored our faith in government---for a time, at least.
Two of my major memories are the sad, sad eyes of Pat Nixon, and the intelligence of Representative Barbara Jordan of Texas as the House Panel began investigating whether Nixon should be impeached. He resigned, rather that face that humiliation. He was later pardoned by Gerald Ford.
Ford also faced an attempted assassination by Squeaky Fromme, one of Charles Manson's murderous cult.
Footage of the hostage crisis and gas shortages during the Carter days were included as well. I recently read an article by Robert Parry in Consortium News, "A CIA Hand in an American Coup?" stating that some members of the CIA have now admitted to undermining Carter in 1980 by sabotaging negotiations, and arranging for the 52 hostages held by Iran to be released as soon as Reagan took office. Is it a coincidence that George H.W. Bush was Reagan's VP and under Ford had headed up the CIA for about a year? I have discussed this article with three friends: one, a self declared conservative says the CIA isn't smart enough, and two progressives state they always sensed dirty dealings during those events.
Reagan also was shot in an attempted assassination by John Hinckley. More violence; more insanity. Will we humans never learn peace?
Through 30 years of tumultuous history, Cecil Gaines served, one of the silent, invisible people who make things convenient, easy, gracious for others.
But as time and the river flows, Cecil heard what the "important people" said, heard them when they were noble and when they were dishonest or crude or cruel. Those times changed him---changed America. Changed me.
The brain is our personal camera and recorder. The emotions are also stored so that we may learn from the past. As the river flows and meanders, let us not pollute it anymore, and let us be aware that there may be unseen dangers beneath the surface.

NHIAA Football: Knight vision spurs South to win over Exeter
By ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
Nashua South quarterback Trevor Knight tries to find daylight against Exeter's defense on Friday at Stellos Stadium in Nashua. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Roger Brown's First and 10: 'Wade'-ing through records
— Earlier this week Nashua South football coach Scott Knight said his team needed a signature victory. The Panthers got one Friday night.
South scored on each of its first three second-half possessions and handed Exeter a 28-6 setback at Stellos Stadium.
South trailed 6-0 at halftime, but its big third quarter began when quarterback Trevor Knight (Scott's son) scored on a 73-yard run. South added a 24-yard TD pass from Knight to Jesse Clauss with 7:20 left in the third, and then Knight scored South's third TD from a yard away with 4:11 remaining in the quarter.
The key plays in South's third scoring drive were two passes from Knight to Robbie Smyth. The first covered 20 yards, and the second was a 24-yard pass that put the ball on the Exeter 1.
South capped the scoring on Collin Morrow's 1-yard run and Ryan Guidaboni's fourth PAT kick with 3:01 remaining in regulation. The TD was set up by Knight's 63-yard run down to the Exeter 1.
"All it took was a couple plays to wake us up," Scott Knight said. "It just took a little while to get into the groove. We were out of sync in the first half."
Knight finished the game with 189 yards rushing on 19 carries. He also completed 13 of 29 passes for 168 yards.
"To be honest I didn't know where we stood (in Division I)," Trevor Knight said. "I was really anxious coming into this game to see where we were at. It feels good knowing we can compete with the best teams."
South, the No. 3 team in this week's Union Leader/WGIR/WMUR Power Poll, raised its record to 5-0. No. 5 Exeter dropped to 3-2.
The Blue Hawks were coming off last Saturday's 21-14 overtime loss to Bishop Guertin.
It's the first time Exeter has lost back-to-back games since the end of the 2010 regular season.
Exeter built a 6-0 halftime lead on two Matt Oppici field goals. Both kicks followed a mistake by Nashua South.
Oppici made a 24-yard field goal four plays after linebacker Ryan Kelly intercepted a Knight pass and gave the Blue Hawks the ball on the South 11.
Oppici's second field goal — a 36-yarder with 7:35 left in the half — was set up when Exeter's Jay Inzenga blocked a South punt that gave the Blue Hawks the ball on the South 26.
"We were making simple mistakes that you can't make in a big game against Exeter," Trevor Knight said. "We just had to pick it up and execute in the second half."

Newborn Screening and Inborn Errors of Metabolism Team
The state of Tennessee and surrounding states screen all newborns for a number of genetic disorders. When the test is positive, the Regional Genetic, Endocrine, or Hematology treatment centers in Memphis, Knoxville, or Nashville are notified. The primary care provider is also notified.
The Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) Team is part of the UTHSC Medical Genetics Regional Treatment Center, and helps families manage disorders that are treatable by diet and medication. With early detection and conscientious dietary management, the possibilities of coma, death, intellectual disability, or other disabilities in some IEM, can be reduced or eliminated.
There are over 25 different IEM disorders currently being treated by the Memphis IEM team, with the most commonly seen being phenylketonuria (PKU), medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD), , urea cycle disorders (UCD), galactosemia (GAL), and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). Others include other amino acid disorders, organic acid disorders, carbohydrate and fatty acid disorders.
The IEM team provides diagnosis and interdisciplinary management for children and adults with metabolic disorders. Disciplines include Metabolic Nutrition, Metabolic Genetics, Social Work and Psychology. Other disciplines serve as consultants as needed. Most patients need regular follow-up from infancy through adulthood, with frequent visits required for the infant and young child.
Close coordination among the IEM team, the family, primary care provider, and other local care providers (such as health department, WIC, CSS, etc.), is required to deal with the complex problems presented. The interdisciplinary approach to IEM disorders treatable by dietary intervention is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

BOSTON — It took just 51 seconds into tonight's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series between Boston and Montreal for Canadiens tough guy Georges Laraque — he of the disparaging comments about the Boston Bruins' toughest players in a pre-series interview — to get on the ice with Bruins winger Shawn Thornton and begin a mini trash-talking session.
It took just a little more than 13 minutes for "Big Georges" to get in Bruins captain Zdeno Chara's face after a whistle. After all, it was Chara that Laraque said in his radio appearance he really wanted to fight, not Thornton. Well, neither Bruins bone-crusher, nor fellow hard-hitter Milan Lucic, took Laraque's bait throughout the evening at TD Banknorth Garden.
And that, my friends, was where this game was won. Sure the Bruins needed Chara's laser-like slap shot from the point to break a 2-2 tie with 8:45 to play in the third. (Just an aside, did that thing break the sound barrier or what? If Chara had someone passing him the puck in the hardest-shot competition, there's no telling what his NHL record would be.)
But what the Bruins really needed from Chara was to put the 'C' on his chest to good work. Had he lost his temper, there's not telling what would have happened. It could've been a rerun of last Thursday's second period, when there were so many Bruins in the penalty box Thornton had to go to the dressing room. Instead, "Big Zee" turned the other cheek.
"I'm just focusing on my play and what I have to do," Chara said after the game. "It's pretty normal and obvious. That's the way it is. I'm just trying to stay focused and play my game."
Sometimes it's hard to gauge whether a player is a good captain. Chara definitely doesn't fall in the category, of charismatic leaders. He's not always going to face the music like Ray Bourque, who set the standard here in the Hub for so many years. He's not going to always answer every question or come up with a cute quip in a postgame media scrum. And that's not really near the top of the job description for a captain. What the Bruins need him to do is set an example for them to follow. When it's go time, it's go time. When it's time to scale it back a notch, he'll show them the way.
We can look at a stats sheet and see Chara's impressive plus/minus, his career-high goal total, his eye-popping height and his weight. Now we can say that there's empirical evidence that Chara, who numerous times during the regular season stood up for smaller, lighter teammates when he had to but this time decided to take the Gandhi-like path of passive resistance, is a leader among men.
"(I liked) the fact that he was disciplined and didn't get sucked into penalties, which could have been easy for him to do," said head coach Claude Julien. "I liked the way he led our team tonight, and it was quite appropriate that he scored the winner."
Chara's accomplished a lot in his NHL career, with All-Star appearances and playoff berths and high point totals. But he's one of those star players still seeking a first championship. By not letting Laraque or any of the Canadiens goad him into any foolishness, he sent a message to all his teammates that it wouldn't be all right to put the individual before the team. And that's the type of philosophy that title-winning teams thrive on.

Welcome from the chair
Leslie V. Parise, PhD – Professor and Chair:
Welcome to the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill!
Our primary missions are education, research and service. Our PhD students and post-doctoral fellows train in more than 40 different laboratories engaged in cutting-edge biomedical research across campus. Training in research comes at a time of tremendous change, as new tools are uncovering the molecular causes of human disease, revealing new drug targets, and fostering the development of innovative new therapies. With a PhD degree in Biochemistry & Biophysics, the next generation of scientists will be well equipped to solve some the most vexing and complex health problems of the day. The quickening pace of research together with the growing emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches to research dictate that tomorrow's scientists be not only dedicated experimentalists, but also highly versatile and capable of integrating information across a wide spectrum of fields. For example, efforts to elucidate the inner workings of the cell require the ability to integrate data on enzyme production, abundance, localization, modification, and activity. Such data may come from a wide range of genomics, proteomics and structural technologies. Moreover, these efforts require an understanding of how signals from multiple, converging pathways are integrated and regulated within the cell. Elucidating and understanding these signaling networks requires skills in bioinformatics and computation analysis.
Finally, successful scientists must be effective communicators. Writing and speaking skills are needed to secure funding and to effectively disseminate research results. We provide opportunities to hone these skills not only through classes but through interactions with many successful faculty mentors. Our faculty is committed to providing the highest quality training for PhD candidates. Students in Biochemistry and Biophysics can choose between our excellent, flexible Biochemistry Track or our well-known Biophysics Track, which has an associated NIH training program.
With best regards,
Leslie V. Parise, PhD

Rock 'n' roll can be broken down as follows: 10% fashion, 10% music and 110% HAIR. We know that adds up to 130%. That's why we're writing for a fashion site and aren't quantum physicists. But it also acts to highlight just how important good hair can be in the making of a musical and cultural icon, and cementing the status …
Get the Look: Marlon Brando in 'A Streetcar Named Desire'
When my English teacher announced we would be studying 'A Streetcar Named Desire,' I have to admit to a light leap of the heart as I reminisced on John Galliano's 'Blanche DuBois' collection of 1988 and Marlon Brando in all his retro glory; oozing sex appeal and hard-edged fashion prowess. With these thoughts in mind, and a bit of time spent re-watching the iconic film made in 1951, I set about creating an outfit based on the look of Stanley Kowalski.
Poll: Russell Brand still a fan of ruched leggings, are you?
There was a time when it seemed like Russell Brand could have been a saviour of men's fashion. His Dickensian witticisms and gothic-lite get up were a breath of fresh air, but lately Brand has let things slide a little. His favourite ruched leggings leave very little to the imagination, and teaming them with flip flops? Rookie mistake!

Taking the scruffy look which Jarvis does so well and giving it a bit of spit and polish this gentleman carries off a timeless look with elegance.
Love The Look: Toby Jones/ Truman Capote in 'Infamous'
During the Christmas season, I was lovingly entrusted with a vintage copy of Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood.' The book has definitely lived up to its reputation and the two films that have been made about the creation of the book ('Capote' starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and 'Infamous' with Toby Jones) offer not only a great plot but awesome fashion.
To achieve the look, buy simple jumpers in bright colours and wear them with trenches and blazers in base colours such as khaki, black and brown…
Outfit Pick: NYE Sophisticated Style
As we endure the last week of 2008 and look back upon a year of fashion extremes, we still have the sartorial challenge of New Year's Eve (NYE) ahead of us. While many opt for a loud, proud and (often) garish get-up, I am aiming to attempt a subtle luxury with the help of muted colours but opulent fabrics (velvet, silk, corduroy etc.)…c

Will's Christmas Outfit Picks: Topman 'Exclamation Mark Print' Polo
Now that I've cleared that up, I can proceed with this Christmas Outfit Pick. This polo is a great find and the loud print is definitely eye-catching. I found it in Topman yesterday afternoon and it was reduced to £10 from £16. In the image, the polo looks black but it is actually blue and the print looks slightly bigger (as opposed to the foot-print looking print pictured!)
Love the Look: Blue and Grey
Grey on top, blue below. It's like a colour version of a mullet, business at the front, party at the back and works really well.

Every once in a while you stumble upon a trusty outfit formula which you can use and reuse to your heart's content. For me it's bright tights, vintage skirts, lace ups and a men's cardie, when I'm stuck for inspiration I can wear umpteen variations of this outfit before I run out of looks.

Ever since Ronnie Wood ran off with his 18-year old mistress Ekaterina Ivanova, I have been keeping my eye on the new couple's outfits. Throughout history, scandals have been defined by fashion; Princess Diana's tiger-print swimsuit, Heather Mills' patchwork suit, Monica Lewinsky's 'Blue Dress.'

Outfit Pick: Trapper Hat Hot
I have to admit that despite being a lover of high-fashion millinery from the likes of Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy, I just can't wear hats. They look truly horrific on me.
But the whole Brandish team is currently infatuated with an item that looks set to take off in the coming months (of snow and cold.)
Outfit Pick: Chinos, Tassels and Binary Clocks
This outfit is based around my fashion task de jour (as if I could make that sound any more pretentious!) That task would be to make tasselled loafers wearable while avoiding the Ralph Lauren, polo-player trap so closely associated with this (in)famous yet iconic shoe.
Outfit Pick: Gauche, Awkward and Isaac…
With a new of series of Heroes about to begin, the unfortunate death of Yves Saint Laurent and the number of Clark Kent-y characters about in the most recent blockbusters, my style radar is tuned to the male who's more gauche, awkward and geeky in the best way possible. Think of 1970s art students carrying open sketchbooks around Paris, Isaac Mendez of Heroes lounging around his studio in over-sized chinos and Marc Jacobs around his grunge era (which means big glasses, baggy jumpers and lots of corduroy.) I took a risk with mixing the denim shirt with dark jeans but the two items together are a wearable look that anyone can pull off.
Check out the product details after the jump and see how geeky you can get this winter- Argyle jumper anyone?
Outfit pick: Sartorialist-style summer shorts
The Sartorialist isn't convinced by shorts suits, but his images of sports jackets worn with shorts does indeed work well for the summer months.

The U.S. government is threatening to file civil securities fraud charges against SAC Capital Advisors and is tightening the regulatory screws around Steven A. Cohen, the $14 billion hedge fund's founder and one of the industry's most famous traders.
The move comes a week after a former SAC Capital employee was charged with running the most lucrative insider trading scheme ever in a series of transactions Cohen signed off on.
Continue Reading Below
Cohen and a top SAC executive told investors on a 20-minute long conference call on Wednesday that the Securities and Exchange Commission had issued a so-called Wells notice to the firm, according to two sources, who listened to the call.
This puts new pressure on Cohen, a multibillionaire whose firm once made up as much as 3 percent of the New York Stock Exchange's daily trading activity. For years, Cohen and SAC have been dogged by allegations that the firm has relied on insider information to deliver an average annual return of 30 percent since Cohen founded it in 1992.
These kinds of returns have made Cohen, 56, rich and have also attracted outside investors like large funds of funds and wealthy individual clients to his firm.
Cohen spoke at the beginning of the phone call but then let his top deputy, SAC President Tom Conheeney, handle the remainder, which one of the two people who listened in described as "carefully scripted." Callers were not able to ask questions.
The news of the Wells notice also raises questions about SAC's future and how investors are likely to react.
SAC told investors of the notice one week after the arrest of Mathew Martoma, one of its former portfolio managers. Martoma is the fifth person associated with the hedge fund to be charged with insider trading. Since then, SAC has been in touch with its biggest investors and held a staff meeting last week to allay fears about the firm's future. On the call, SAC gave no specifics on when the Wells notice physically arrived, but it appears the firm had been aware that the SEC was looking into something after it had subpoenaed the firm for information.
On the SEC's investment advisory website, where all hedge funds must now register, SAC Capital recently updated its filing to note that the SEC had named CR Intrinsic, the unit where Martoma worked, as a defendant in last week's civil complaint. The firm, however, did not update the online filing to show that it had received a Wells notice.
Authorities charged Martoma with using illegally obtained information from a doctor about poor clinical results at two healthcare companies - Elan Corp Plc and Wyeth, which is now owned by Pfizer Inc - to recommend that SAC eliminate a big position in their stocks. This recommendation kept the firm from incurring millions of dollars in losses, the government said.
Last week, the SEC also filed a civil securities fraud charge against CR Intrinsic, the affiliated fund where Martoma worked.
In seeking disgorgement of $276 million in profits and avoided losses against CR Intrinsic, the SEC did not specifically name SAC Capital in last week's civil complaint.
With the arrest of Martoma, the government has now charged five former SAC employees with insider trading while working for the Stamford, Connecticut-headquartered firm. In addition, several others who once worked for Cohen also have been charged with insider trading while working for other hedge funds.
Cohen has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Some on Wall Street applauded SAC for saying it had received the notice, a fact not always disclosed by investment firms.
"The best way to run a money management business, especially post-Madoff, is to let your investors know as much as possible, almost as if you're in a glass bowl. The more transparency you can provide, the better," said Jason Ader, a former Wall Street gaming analyst who now runs Ader Investment Management, which invests in hedge funds.
While 60 percent of SAC's $14 billion in assets belong to Cohen and his employees, the fund's strong and steady returns have made it popular with outside investors as well. Blackstone Group LP has been a long-term investor.
With so much of the money in SAC coming from wealthy investors, the firm may not suffer from the kind of redemptions that a fund dependent on pension fund money might.
How investors will react to this news, however, is still far from certain, people familiar with SAC said.
One key may be what Blackstone Group's big fund of funds does, as it once had up to $500 million in SAC and is something of a bellwether in the hedge fund industry. Blackstone's investors include smaller and midsize endowments that might get itchy about SAC's Wells notice and pressure the fund of funds to pull its money from the firm.
A spokesman for Blackstone did not return a call seeking a comment.
On the conference call, Conheeney, SAC's president, again told investors that the firm would bear all costs of defending itself against any legal action, the source said.
Conheeney also said the SEC had questioned Cohen about this matter earlier this year and that he had been responsive to all of the government's questions.
SAC spokesman Jonathan Gasthalter said last week: "Mr. Cohen and SAC are confident that they have acted appropriately, and will continue to cooperate with the government's inquiry."
The FBI has been investigating SAC on and off since 2007.
Despite SAC's outstanding returns, the firm's reputation as a rough-and-tumble trading shop has sometimes prompted advisers to tell clients to get out or steer clear of the hedge fund.
Todd Petzel, chief investment officer of Offit Capital Advisors, said he had never invested with SAC because of a lack of transparency, even though he knows of the firm's "incredibly demanding culture" through interactions with Cohen and former SAC employees.
"SAC will tell you that they have incredibly rigorous compliance process," Petzel said. "I'm sure if this ever comes to court, they will demonstrate in court all the training that every one of their portfolio managers goes through."
On the other hand, he said Cohen probably protected himself by distancing himself from day-to-day activities.
The SEC usually issues Wells notices, which are often not made public, to give firms plenty of warning that legal action is coming.
In the last year, hedge fund manager Philip Falcone and his Harbinger Capital Partners said they had received such notices. It is not clear when SAC got its notice.
"Certainly the Wells process and the public disclosure that there is a Wells process with respect to a hedge fund is something that is very challenging for the management of the hedge fund," said Stephen Crimmins, a partner in law firm K&L Gates in Washington.
Cohen and his top-flight legal team will probably work around the clock to try to negotiate a resolution and avoid a civil lawsuit, Crimmins said.
"It's a period of intense activity," he said. "It's a period that usually doesn't last that long, so we should expect some more news from SAC."

How to build release iso's/img's
Bleeding edge archiso (needed for 2009.01)
$ git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git $ cd archiso/archiso $ sudo make install
Packaged archiso (after new archiso release which is planned after 2009-01 iso release)
$ pacman -Sy archiso'
$ cd ../configs/install-iso $ sudo make all-iso (or ftp-iso, or core-iso)
unanswered questions
- any specific requirements on /etc/pacman.conf? (related to settings/available repos?)
When testing and working on iso's locally i set up a local repository (iso-test) where i store local modified packages (installer, grub-gfx or mkinitcpio etc). This repo on the build machine at first rank in the pacman.conf. When building the iso, packages from this repo go into the live-cd part of the iso and are so preferred over those in the normal repos. Also testing repo should be activated (after private repo, but before normal repos) when ex. the kernel is currently available only from testing. For Release-Iso's (or Release-Candidates) the testing repo and your local repo should be disabled of course. (GerBra)
- how do you build iso's with only core or with core+testing available?
by just (un)commenting testing from /etc/pacman.conf?
All official repos should/must be enabled on the build machine (testing is special issue). To build the iso we need packages from core, extra and community(grub-gfx) (GerBra)
- assuming that the relevant repositories are frozen, if I build an iso on my system, and someone else builds the iso on his system, will the iso's match perfectly? (eg same md5sums)
I think it would be useful in the future we build locally first and test it, and then instead of uploading to gerolde, we can just rebuild it there?
AFAIK the md5sums must not match on different build (although when both use the same software versions). Squashfs compressed images could be slightly different on different machines/builds and so the iso md5sum could differ. (GerBra)
- naming convention? see http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2009-January/000046.html
