FOXBORO � New England Patriots fans had little to cheer about in the team�s worst home loss in 10 years. They even booed the club that had won three Super Bowls in the past seven seasons.
FOXBORO � New England Patriots fans had little to cheer about in the team�s worst home loss in 10 years. They even booed the club that had won three Super Bowls in the past seven seasons.
That�s their right, cornerback Ellis Hobbs said yesterday, but he�s amazed that they did it as the players left the field at halftime of the 38-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
�It doesn�t hurt,� Hobbs said. �It amazes me how people react. You would think that this organization hasn�t won as much as they have and been successful in the years that they have, and it�s a testament to how spoiled they are where expectations are that high that we�re not allowed a bad game.�
Hobbs and coach Bill Belichick agreed that it was a very bad game, a failure on both offense and defense.
Still, to hear the fans at the team�s 153rd straight home sellout boo was something that Hobbs said he won�t forget.
�I use it as a thing to remember when you are successful and that�s how you keep it all in perspective,� he said calmly, �because as soon as they�re stabbing you in the back, as soon as they�re booing at you, whatever, they�re ready to pat you again as soon as something� good happens.
But, Hobbs acknowledged, that�s the fans� right.
�We chose to do this job. We get paid for it,� he said. �You have to take the good with the bad and that�s just one of the bad things about the game.�
Now, Hobbs and Belichick say, it�s time to look ahead. The Patriots have this bye week to work on their problems. Then they head to San Francisco and San Diego for a two-game road trip in which they plan to stay on the West Coast between games.
�We don�t have the luxury of panicking like a fan does or to sit there and boo,� Hobbs said. �We�re not sitting here panicking. It�s Week 3. We�re moving on to San Francisco.�
The 25-point loss was the Patriots worst since they were beaten by the Atlanta Falcons 41-10 on Nov. 8, 1998, at Foxboro Stadium. The Falcons went on to the Super Bowl that season.
The Patriots moved to Gillette Stadium for the 2002 season where every game has been sold out and fans had seen just nine losses, during the regular season and playoffs, until Sunday�s blowout.
During that time, the Patriots won 47 games at Gillette.
�This is a game we obviously all feel bad about,� Belichick said yesterday. �This was a total team loss. I don�t think we did a good job coaching, starting with me. We didn�t do a good job playing. We were pretty well beat in every phase of the game, except for special teams.�
Hobbs was a rare bright spot, returning six kickoffs for a team-record 237 yards.
But the Patriots were outgained 461 yards to 216 and Matt Cassel, with Tom Brady out for the season, completed 19 of 31 passes for 131 yards with one touchdown, one interception and a lost fumble. He was sacked three times. Rookie Kevin O�Connell came in with 6:08 left in the game and was sacked once.
Why did Belichick bring O�Connell in?
�We put in a lot of people at that point,� he said.
Usually, the Patriots put in seldom-used players when they have the game well in hand. They had won an NFL-record 21 straight regular-season games until Sunday�s loss.
Now they want to avoid a losing streak.
�We�re not a team that�s going to make excuses,� running back LaMont Jordan said. �We just got outplayed. The key for us is how we�re going to bounce back from that.�
They�ll have to do that on the road since their next home game is nearly a month away, on Oct. 20 against the Denver Broncos.
By then, maybe Patriots fans will have something to cheer about again.
�There�s a certain level of expectancy and they hold us to a higher standard,� tight end Benjamin Watson said, �much like the standard that we hold ourselves to.�
Hobbs wasn�t happy with the booing but knows the fans also can provide a boost.
�They pay (for) their ticket. They can say what they want to say,� he said. �They expect the best out of us, which is good. When you have people with high expectations of you, you tend to meet those expectations.�

Ballet Central
by David Mead
March 24, 2012-- Chipping Norton Theatre, Chipping Norton, UK
Can there be a prettier town to go to watch ballet than Chipping Norton in the heart of the English Cotswolds? The town's small theatre has a reputation that far outstrips its size and has become a regular venue on Ballet Central's tours. Not only was this year's Chippy (as the town is affectionately known) programme nicely varied, I reckon the dancers, all final year students from London's Central School of Ballet gaining invaluable performance experience, looked the best for a several years.
Proceedings opened with the welcome return of Ballet Central founder Christopher Gable's bright and uplifting neo-classical "Celebration", first seen in 1995. Music Director Philip Feeney's score is as uplifting as the dance, the tone set almost immediately by the sound of a triumphant bell immediately following the first notes from the piano. Incidentally, how nice it is to see a group such as Ballet Central dancing to live music. Several of the pieces performed, including this, had Feeney live on piano alongside recordings of the other instruments. "Celebration" is essentially about partnering, and while there may be no story as such, there was often clearly a dialogue going on. This was certainly true in a boisterous male duet, but especially so whenever Yuumi Ueno and Andrew McNichol came together. In a later pas de deux in particular their faces and bodies screamed meaning. These two were to shine the whole afternoon.
Ueno and McNichol again stole the show in Sherrill Wexler's "Encuentros", a Spanish-inspired number about relationships for three couples. They did not just dance together. Their faces were so alive. The way McNichol in particular looked at his partner, never, it seemed, taking his eyes off her, suggested a real emotional connection between them. A special mention too for Richard Geller's quite stunning yellow and black costumes; the ladies' gowns, with their lacy tops and flowing bottoms would grace any ball.
Rambert Dance Company ex-dancer and now Rehearsal Director Michaela Polley can usually be relied on to come up with something impressive, and her new "Circle of Five" is no exception. The choreography is sleek, yet athletic, sparky and edgy. It matches Feeney's percussive, often aggressive score all the way. Polley really pushes her dancers with some on-the-edge balances and extensions, but the whole cast (Ariadna Llussa Sanz, Yuumi Ueno, Andrew McNichol, Jacob Wye and Tetsuo Yamamoto) threw themselves into it fully. The energy was immense. "Circle of Five" is a fabulous piece that I would sit through again and again quite happily.
The dancers are from the Central School of Ballet, of course, and out and out classicism came in the form of the Pas de Trois from "Swan Lake". Shinnosuke Mitsutomo showed some impressive leaps, despite clearly having to rein himself in so that he stayed on the small stage, and Irène Savary showed a nice line, with particularly soft and expressive arms. David Fielding's "Six Chamber Dances" is an altogether more reflective ballet playing with three couples and some edgy partnering that hints at rivalry and friction. It's a beautifully constructed piece that only emphasises what a loss to ballet it was when he died of cancer in 2008, aged just 35. Even more contemporary in nature, although still remaining mostly quite flowing, Sara Matthews' "And Then Their Hopes Soared" was neatly danced without ever really taking off.
Rounding off the programme was Matthew Hart's witty "Whodunnit?" In this ballet version of the well-known board game the characters are guests of the suave and unsuspecting Mr. Black (Andrew Monaghan). Unsuspecting, because it seems all his guests have a reason for doing away with their host.
Each guest arrives wreathed in smiles, yet armed with a cleverly concealed weapon. The characterisations are a delight, each taking inspiration from the names. Tatiana Tsvetkova as Miss Scarlet was the epitome of a scatty dumb blonde, Ben Owen's Professor Plum was eccentric if not quite mad, Tetsuo Yamamoto's pith helmeted Colonel Mustard was straight off the Coleman's jar, and as Miss Peacock, Irène Savary strutted around most appropriately, all airs and graces. Best of all (again!) though was Andrew McNichol's bible hugging, cross always in hand, Reverend Green; on the surface the perfect vicar. But he made it very clear that never far away was another person entirely, and when he turned that cross upside down to become a dagger, those sweet eyes and innocent smile changed to ones of darkness and evil intent.
Hart presents a series of scenes showing each as the murderer, before the guilty one is finally revealed. Silent movie-style storyboards are used to tell us which scenario we were seeing ("Professor Plum in the Billiard Room with the lead pipe" etc). The whole audience enjoyed the fun that ensued although I'm not sure the kids got all the jokes. The adults certainly did. But this is not Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" and they didn't all have a hand in the dirty deed. So whodunnit? Sorry, all I'm saying is that there is a surprise twist. You will have to go and see!
Ballet Central's extensive UK tour continues to Tonbridge, Cambridge, Canterbury, Salford, Grantham, Leeds, Yeovil, Chelmsford, Bracknell, Newbury, Corby, St. Andrews, Andover, Hexham, Frome, Bridport, London (Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House), Crawley, and London (Bloomsbury Theatre); plus one overseas date in Amsterdam. Repertory varies. See www.balletcentral.co.uk for dates.

Boston Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron has insisted that his side must move on from their disappointment in Game 4 and focus on the rest of the Stanley Cup finals.
The Bruins lost Game 4 to Chicago Blackhawks meaning the best-of-seven series is now tied at 2-2.
But the Bruins missed a host of opportunities to take a 3-1 series lead before the Blackhawks eventually won 6-5 in overtime, and Bergeron feels they must move on from their defeat.
"You can't look at it (as a missed opportunity), because there's nothing you can do about it," Bergeron told the Boston Herald. "So it's about the next game."
The series is finely balanced despite the Bruins feeling that they may deserve to be ahead. In Game 1 they were made to rue missed chances as they lost in the third overtime.
A closely fought series comes as no surprise to Bergeron who knows that whoever wins Game 5 in Chicago will have one hand on the Stanley Cup trophy.
"We knew it was going to be a tough series and an even series," said Bergeron. "That's what we're having. We never said it was going to be easy. They're a great team out there. So are we. So we've just got to go (to Chicago) — it's a best-of-three now — and regroup and be ready for Game 5."
Bergeron scored two important goals in Game 4 as the Bruins looked to take a 3-1 series win. The Bruins were 4-2 down before a Bergeron goal brought it back to 4-3. Early in the third period Bergeron scored again to tie the score at 4-4 as the Bruins looked to snatch victory.
But they couldn't close out victory as the Blackhawks took a 5-4 and then ultimately a 6-5 lead to win Game 4.
The Bergeron insists his side has to improve in some areas ahead of Game 5.
"We've got to do a better job of boxing out and also in winning the 1-on-1 battles," he admitted. "We have to do a better job of adding layers and helping out each other. But at the end of the day, we didn't get the result. We've got to make sure we're better on Saturday."

Fibromyalgia and CFS patients normally take 6 to12 different prescription medicines.
Provigil, Cymbalta, Lunesta, Lyrica, Elavil, Klonopin, Ambien, Zanaflex, Neurontin, Trazadone, Paxil, Effexor and Xanax are all drugs that are used for fibromyalgia.
Some of them can help, some useless, and others very harmful.
Managing drugs alone has failed to produce any relief that is long-lasting from the usual fibromyalgia and CFS symptoms.
The initial optimism of doctors and patients on the use of a new treatment drug eventually fades away.
However, www.medicinedirect.co.uk reports that some new medications with a huge marketing budget are in prospect.
Most of the fibromyalgia drugs usually prescribed have aftereffects that are alike or related to CFS and FMS symptoms.
The similarities in the symptoms can often confuse doctors when they try to figure out how effective the treatment is. Ambien, for example, has flu-like symptoms, sore throat, aching muscle pain, and tiredness just like CFS. Tranquilizers are frequently recommended for restless leg syndrome; aching and tight muscles, and sleeplessness. Nevertheless, these medicines drain the sleep hormone melatonin, which results in an interference of somebody's sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). Rather than stimulating deep restorative sleep, these medicines inhibit it.
It is essential for one to realize that these medicines can cause or even lead to some or most of the symptoms experienced. A review of these drugs is important to understand their interactions and likely side effects. The right questions should be asked so that patients will be able to tell the symptoms they experienced soon after using the drug.
Sometimes, these symptoms start to show months after taking the drugs.
Although these drugs drain the nutrients that help the proper functioning of the body, it might take a long time, maybe weeks or months before the side effects are noticed.
However, some people might not just be able to do without these drugs.
Some would be taking at least one prescription drugs. The least offensive medication should be used cautiously and for managing symptoms that do not respond to more natural therapies. One study undertaken by the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research establishes the need for FMS and CFS treatment that is not limited to drug therapy. 39 patients with FMS were cross-examined about their symptoms.
55 percent of the patients reported moderate and severe pain or stiffness. 48 percent reported moderate sleeping problems and 59 percent reported moderate to severe fatigue. From the previous surveys, the symptoms had indicated only little change. The unexpected finding was that 79 percent of the patients were still in use of drugs to manage the symptoms. Thus, it was concluded, that the drugs had little or no impact.
Traditional Doctors Do Not Support Natural Medicine
People don't usually like what they don't understand. Several conventional doctors quickly criticize nutritional therapies, even though these therapies have constantly proven their effectiveness in treating fibromyalgia. It is a bias that doesn't make sense. They normally accuse it of having no controlled studies. However, there are actually a lot of studies that prove that nutritional supplements can be used to manage and most times treat the symptoms of poor health. There are more than 1,000 studies that have demonstrated the positive effects of several supplements and food, say in the treatment of high blood pressure. Hundreds of studies have shown the use of magnesium in the treatment of hypertension, mitral valve prolapse, fatigue, anxiety, muscle spasms, chronic pain, heart arrhythmias and angina Dr Janet Travell, in her work, referenced 317 studies that revealed that hormonal problems and deficiencies in mineral and vitamins can lead to muscle pain and soreness.
Current medicine itself, in spite of the millions of dollars that have been spent to uphold its power over other systems of health care, is mostly an art with a lot of science yet to be proven. A Technology Assessment office, in the power of the Library of Congress, issued a one year study. The study had indicated that just 10 to 20 percent of all recent medical practice has been indicated to be helpful by clinical tests that are scientifically controlled. In the study, it was finalized that the bulk majority of medical processes now being used on a regular basis by doctors are not proven. They say because the nutritional supplement is not regulated, they are harmful. They can make one nauseous, but they don't die from the use of vitamins, minerals, or any other important nutrients. This, however, cannot be said about drug therapy.
Oliver W. Holmes, a renowned physician once stresses that drugs are constantly directly harmful and can sometimes be indirectly helpful. Who knows, maybe if all these prescription drugs were thrown into the sea, it might turn out for the betterment of humanity. However, the fishes might have to pay the price. The use of these prescription drugs most times tries to hide symptoms rather than treat the cause. Hence, it does little or nothing to fix the underlying issue. With years of specialization and treatments for fibromyalgia, it is obvious that traditional treatment alone doesn't do much if at all, in future outcomes. One can only be hopeful that those that suffer from fibromyalgia can be able to find and a doctor to work it that practices integrative medicine. They can use a combination of prescription medications, possibly in the short term and also natural treatments like vitamins and minerals. This enables the symptoms related to fibromyalgia to not just be covered up but also fixed.

Opto Ergo Sum…(there goes my two second Latin lesson).
"I choose therefore I am" in my book is all about freedom. It's also because I have personally had enough with the allocation of blame – and living in Athens at the moment – one cannot escape hearing about it all the time.
Somewhere along the news, emails, tweets, f/b updates and the "noise" of misery, unrest, dark reality and the pain of crime that's masked as "civil disobedience" or rebellion against your boss, your job, your teacher, your bank, the government, the taxes you have to pay, the traffic cops who just clocked you speeding, and whatever you want to call the "system", or whatever is pushing your button at the moment…
Just move on with life – and do what you must – Life is for those who dare to put aside their fears, inhibitions and moods and go bolder – and in spite of the odds.
As Russel Bishop wrote in one of his Huffington Post columns, it's all about "response-ability," that powerful idea in making the best of negative circumstances, happenings and events and choosing to transform "responsibility" from the common allocation of blame or fault into something that means "having the strength, courage and power to respond."
Your life – your country – your choice.

Number One still isn't good enough for Tiger Woods
We've seen these results from Bay Hill before. As a matter of fact, eight times to be exact. That's the number of Arnold Palmer Invitational Tournaments Tiger Woods has won. However Monday's result could prove to be the biggest yet. Not because of the accomplishment itself but what the victory stands for. With his 77th PGA Tour win, Tiger not only recaptured golf's #1 player status in the world, a title missing from his resume for the past 124 PGA Tour weeks but also sets himself up with a rhythm and confidence we haven't seen since his last major victory in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. The significance of this of course is the upcoming Masters where Woods will be the heavy favorite for his 15th Major Championship, which would truly mark a full recovery, at least in the golf sense from the marriage scandal that sent both Tiger's game and personal life into a free for all. Augusta National hasn't seen Woods slide on the Green Jacket since 2005. Not that there haven't been close calls in the meantime but the thrill has been gone for some time now. After the 2005 win, Woods has finished third, and then tied for second in back to back years. In 2009 the best he could do was sixth, followed up by fourth place finishes in 2010 and 2011. Last year, after a solid 72 on Thursday he faltered shooting 75, on the way to proving he wasn't close to coming full circle finishing a distant 40th overall. The last seven years of frustration at Augusta should be coming to a close though. The last time Woods won consecutive events entering the Masters was 2001 when he won at Bay Hill and The Players before capturing his second Green Jacket. Despite Tiger's rise back to the game's top spot coming all the way back from a low of 58th in the world in November of 2011, the true test of his comeback doesn't really start until April 11th on the first tee of the Masters. Not everyone seems to understand this however. Tiger's biggest sponsor Nike on Tuesday came out with a new ad campaign stating, "Winning takes care of everything"….Tiger Woods, World #1. Even new girlfriend Lindsay Vonn tweeted after Monday's final round about her new man once again taking over golf's thrown. The only numbers that really matter are major championships 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Those five numbers would make Tiger the true number one most likely forever. Woods has been stalled behind the great Jack Nicklaus for almost five years and 17 majors without gaining ground, instead only losing time. For most of Tiger's journey of self-redemption since that Thanksgiving Night when the world discovered along with ex-wife Elin that Woods was only a great golfer and not person, husband and father at the time, most believed his best golf was behind him. We've watched him apologize on national television, fall flat on the course, have surgeries and undergo a new golf swing. All of these factors contributed to the biggest fall of any top athlete maybe in the history of modern era sports. But just when most of the experts believed the weight of Tiger's indiscretions lay too heavy on his mind to the point of ruining his ability to win major tourneys, Woods is on the verge of proving almost everyone wrong. He's now won three tournaments this season in five entries. His admission to his relationship with Vonn seems to be proof he's gotten past his personal demons that seem to haunt him over ruining his marriage and the embarrassment it caused himself and his family. His health is once again not a factor on the course and the public overall has seemed to forgiven him. Getting back to being the world's top player is nice but the only true redemption for Tiger the golfer not the person will be a win in a few weeks at Augusta. That would show he's come full circle and once again be on track to become the greatest golfer that ever lived.

UT Arlington engineers working to prevent heat buildup within 3D integrated circuits
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Media Contact: Herb Booth, Office: 817-272-7075, Cell: 214-546-1082, firstname.lastname@example.com
In the effort to pile more power atop silicon chips, engineers have developed the equivalent of mini-skyscrapers in three-dimensional integrated circuits and encountered a new challenge: how to manage the heat created within the tiny devices.
But a team of UT Arlington researchers funded by the National Science Foundation is working first to minimize the heat generated and then to developing nano-windows that will allow the heat to dissipate before it damages the chip.
Ankur Jain, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, is working with colleague Dereje Agonafer, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Roger Schmidt, IBM fellow and chief engineer, on the project.
"There is only a very limited amount of space available on an integrated circuit so we've had to build vertically, placing wafers on top of wafers," Jain said. "These 3D integrated circuits have led to significant performance improvements. However, when we stack these circuits on top of each other, heat starts to become a problem."
He added: "All the heat being generated in this multi-layer stack needs to be removed, otherwise it causes deterioration in performance."
Agonafer said the team will investigate and measure fundamental thermal transport and thermomechanical properties of materials and interfaces in 3D integrated circuit technology.
The team also will look at Through-Silicon Vias, or TSVs – high-performance wires that allow integrated circuits to talk to each other and pass instructions from one level to the next.
Jain and Agonafer believe the cooling effects will boost the efficiency and speed of the 3D integrated circuits as well.
Schmidt said UT Arlington is one of the many academic partners IBM works with to find solutions for tomorrow's computing needs.
"Cooling chips has come a long way in recent years, but the financial savings can be enormous," Schmidt said. "Reducing heat just a little can translate to millions of dollars in savings down the road. Plus, typically solving the heat problem also yields faster, more reliable and more powerful computing."
Jean-Pierre Bardet, dean of the UT Arlington College of Engineering, said the project demonstrates the important role that a research institution can play in partnering with industry leaders, such as IBM.
"Their work will help not only chip manufacturers but any business whose products depend on 3D, integrated circuit technology," Bardet said. "We are pleased to be partnering with a worldwide innovator in research that will improve technology we have all come to depend upon."

Tufts history professor Reed Ueda recently chaired a team of local
historians who consulted on a new multimedia museum on the history
of immigration.
The Dreams of Freedom Immigration Museum, which opened this past
July, is located in downtown Boston at 1 Milk Street, the home of
the International Institute of Boston and the site where Benjamin
Franklin was born.
Boston, which is known worldwide for its colonial history, is often
overlooked as a major port of immigration, says Ueda. "Everyone
knows about Ellis Island, but not everyone knows that Boston was
right behind," he says. "One out of two Americans has an ancestor
who came to America through the Massachusetts Bay."
Ueda, who teaches American history, specializes in social history
of urban and industrial America, and immigration and ethnic relations.
He has written numerous texts on immigration and was a research
editor for the Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. He
was more than happy to serve as chief consulting historian for the
"I knew it would offer a rare opportunity to disseminate to a
popular audience what I have been researching and teaching in the
halls of academia-that the immigrant experience is a civic and historical
legacy that has profoundly shaped the American identity."
The museum offers a variety of opportunities for visitors to learn
about the immigrant experience. Using a "passport" that can be stamped
at different stations, visitors can listen to "virtual immigrants"-Lilliputian-sized
mannequins with computerized faces-tell the story of an individual's
journey to America.
Visitors also can walk across floorboards that mimic those of a
passenger ship, view trunks from around the world that hold the
precious few items an immigrant was able to bring on his or her
journey, and watch a multimedia show hosted by a holographic image
of Franklin

Government bans protests to quell public dissent
Latest update : 2011-03-05
The government announced a ban on all protests and marches Saturday in an effort to stamp-out growing unrest. This follows a series of Shiite-led demonstrations in the east of the country demanding the release of prisoners.
REUTERS - Saudi Arabia said on Saturday it would ban all protests and marches after minority Shi'ites staged small protests in the oil-producing eastern province.
Security forces would use all measures to prevent any attempt to disrupt public order, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by state television.
The ban follows a series of protets by Saudi Shi'ites in the kingdom's east in the past weeks mainly to demand the release of prisoners they say are long held without trial.
Saudi Arabia's Shi'ite minority mostly live in the east, which holds much of the oil wealth of the world's top crude exporter and is near Bahrain, scene of protests by majority Shi'ites against their Sunni rulers.
Saudi Shi'ites they complain they struggle to get senior government jobs and other benefits like other citizens.
The government of Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy without an elected parliament that usually does not tolerate public dissent, denies these charges.
Last week, King Abdullah returned to Riyadh after a three-month medical absence and unveiled $37 billion in benefits for citizens in an apparent bid to insulate the kingdom from protests spreading in several Arab countries.

The night before Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson hosted a crowd of several thousand protesters on the grounds of City Hall, Anderson's friend and adviser, the sculptor Steven Goldsmith, told me that the mayor was about to become "a folk hero of the American West."
Goldsmith, a middle-aged balding man with a trim gray beard and a perennial twinkle in his eye, was among Anderson's inner circle; they had met back in the early 1970s, when Anderson, an up-and-coming young attorney, was working with Planned Parenthood to open up Utah's conservative antiabortion and anticontraception laws. When Anderson stunned the political establishment by winning election to the mayorship in 1999 as a take-no-prisoners populist, Goldsmith was brought aboard as the city's planning director, helping to rejuvenate the downtown using money leveraged around the upcoming Winter Olympics: expanding the light railway system, encouraging the creation of vibrant restaurant dining hubs, helping to bring cutting-edge cultural events to town.
Anderson is surrounded by extremely intelligent, idealistic and, it has to be said, adoring people. His administration has a sort of Camelot-in-the-Wasatch Mountains feel to it, a glamorous, energetic sense of possibility. In a city more known as the center of Mormonism than as a focal point for progressive politics, Anderson has instituted some of the most creative, thoughtful and radical urban policies anywhere in America. He has pushed to implement the Kyoto Protocol locally; has re-created the way in which city officials interact with their constituents; has restructured the city's criminal justice system; has gone out on a limb to defend gay rights; and has repeatedly taken on big developers, from "sprawl mall" advocates to those in favor of unregulated suburban growth in the large Salt Lake valley region surrounding the 182,000-strong city itself.
I liked Anderson and his team, but their praise of the boss seemed hyperbolic. A folk hero of the American West? Surely that was a bit much.
But having been present at Mayor Anderson's searing, and devastatingly articulate, critique of President Bush on August 30, I have to say Goldsmith was onto something. Most of the event itself was run-of-the-mill, a few thousand antiwar, anti-Bush protesters, a platform of entirely forgettable, sometimes embarrassingly inept, speakers, many of whom mouthed nothing but platitudes. But Rocky's speech (everyone calls him just "Rocky"), now that was something else. It was orders of magnitude more powerful than any critique of Bush I've seen by an elected political figure, not so much because of his particular denunciations of Bush's Iraq policies but because he synthesized sentiments about the whole way in which Bush governs and the nature of his relationship with the electorate.

In ready-to-wear manufacturing, no one uses pins or basting. And with good reason. It would take too long, and sewing with pins reduces accuracy.
Not exactly what they told you in home ec or even in all those books on sewing. Pins have their uses, but when it comes to sewing seams, most of the time you don't need them, and you don't want them.
That dreaded homemade look is why a lot of people give up sewing, especially garments. Or they go into quilting or home decor.
Sewing without pins or basting will speed up your sewing and the results are professional-looking. It takes a little practice but is easily mastered once you know how.
You have lots of opportunity to find out more about Islander Sewing Systems.
Or take a course with Janet in Oakville, ON May 29, 30 & 31, 2012.
You really will be amazed at the dramatic improvement in your sewing skills once you learn these skills.

Trough the last century, Hiša Franko has changed a lot of roles. The legend sais that Ernest Hemingway was hurt on Isonzo Front and he is supposed to be cured in our house. In one of the rooms overlooking the courtyard he was writing his famous novel »Farwell to the arms«. But certainly Hiša Franko was a roadside inn, a village mill, a big countryside estate, a hospital during the First World War, a huge agricultural estate and finally Hiša Franko today, which refuses to be a classical hotel or a fine dining restaurant. It is simply – Hiša Franko. Our home, your home.
Hiša Franko is a beautiful countryside house&estate with three generations living in different floors. Behind a house, there is a huge herb, flower and vegetable garden, beside it you can hear a lively creek , home to our small family of trouts.

Mystery Palace hold their own even in the jazziest situations.
As with good health and literacy, the Twin Cities suffer no lack of capably bent circuits. Though he and partner Bianca Pettis hew to a strict "no sound-making implement left behind" agenda, Beatrix JAR's music wouldn't be complete–or even itself–minus Jacob Roske's considerable circuit-bending skills. Tech whiz and keyboard virtuoso Logan Erickson mastered the art well before his 20th birthday. As handy with a soldering gun as he is with juggling projects, Lorren Stafford of Slutmachine, Nautipuss, Low Orbit, Richard for Cerebellum, and Black Box Effects allegedly bends to take his mind off work.
Even minus the effects, they'd be kaleidoscopic.
While the above (along with the likes of dronemaster Datura 1.0 and Duluth-based polymath Tim Kaiser) harbor enough bending prowess to saturate a state five times the size of ours, not one can touch Ryan Olcott Actually, nobody on the planet can hold a candle to Myatery Palace's founder when it comes to bending circuits. Other benders rarely tackle anything more complex than, say, a Casio SK-10, whereas Olcott reconfigures the innards of big rigs–exhibit A being the heavily modded Yamahas he uses in the trio–with alacrity. Plus, while most benders never get beyond R2D2 impressions, Olcott gets at least as much music (and as many sounds appropriate to our times) as the likes of Hot Chip and the Justice. He's even tamed his boards to the extent that drummer Joey Phillips and bassist James Buckley stopped having to keep themselves in"code red" mode long ago. Best of all, the 12 Rods veteran uses 'em in the service of the loose-limbed, nuanced electronic pop that's made the band a household word in discriminating households all over the planet.
The band look future-wards at SXSW 2008.
Plus, Olcott, Plillips, and Buckley get around. After tonight's Chicago show, the trio head east, then curl back around and end the tour in Madison (itinerary below). If they find anyplace appreciably warmer than Minneapolis, we're seriously hoping Olcot'll bend up a teleporter and get us there…would immediately be too soon?

Seventy-five percent of the membership of Peoples Temple was African American, and the majority of those who died in Jonestown were African American women. The Jonestown victims have been demonized and marginalized – stripped of agency and, in many respects, humanity. The settlement was envisioned – and promoted – as a kind of "Promised Land," a racial utopia and antidote to the white supremacist violence and dehumanization Black people experienced in the U.S.

"Motown the Musical" is a wonderful story of a man's ability to take a dream and, with the support of first his family and secondly his community – in this case, artists in Detroit, Michigan – see the vision through to its fruition. Berry Gordy Jr. decided to open his own music company, Motown, a company that put Black music on the map and provided the bridge between mainstream white America and the parallel nation Black people occupied, but not for long.

He was born Rolihlahla in July of 1918, in a nation of which he was not truly a citizen, into a country called the Union of South Africa, a part of the British Empire. The world would come to know him as Nelson, a name given him by a grade school teacher: Nelson Mandela. At long last, after 95 years of life, Mandela has returned to his ancestors. Between birth and death he has blazed an amazing life of love and revolution, of struggle and resistance, of prison and isolation, of freedom – and now death.

In the wake of Nelson Mandela's death, hosannas continue to be sung to the former ANC leader and South African president from both the left and from the right. But the right's embrace of Mandela as an anti-racist hero doesn't ring true. Is there another reason establishment media and mainstream politicians are as Mandela-crazy as the left?

Baba Mandela passed today after a lengthy illness. Though he was not without faults, he was a great man and a decent human being who loved his people so much he literally gave his liberty for their freedom. He sacrificed his life and his life with his family for the liberation of South Africans through the African National Congress, an organization he, as a young attorney, helped found.

Irene Kish-Eggert, 98, of Goleta, Calif., passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012.
The youngest of six children, she was born in Dunmore and was the daughter of John and Rosalea Domjeno (Saliay) Kish.
She married Lewis C. Eggert Jr. on Oct. 4, 1936, and they made their home in Newfoundland.
She worked at various establishments, including Horn of Plenty and Blueberry Hill, and worked numerous cleaning jobs. Her biggest job was wife and mother of three daughters, including identical twins. Life was always busy with the kids and grandkids until retirement, when she and Lou discovered Maine, where they spent many summers. In 1997, she moved to Santa Barbara, Calif., living close to her youngest daughter and her family.
Sharing so little of Grandma's very large life in this obituary can never sum up all that she was, all that she did, saw and gave to her family and others. We will all miss her in so many ways and are grateful to have had her in our lives.
She was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Lewis C. Eggert Jr., and her daughter Diane Kandris (Nick) of East Stroudsburg.
Survivors include daughter Nan Noyes (Larry) of Topton, N.C.; daughter Pamela Schueler (Carl) of Santa Barbara, Calif.; grandchildren: Julie Noyes, Mark Noyes (Carole), Michelle Kintner (Don), Craig Harrison (Trish), and Janelle, Janessa, Joel and Joshua Schueler; and great-grandson, Johnathan Noyes.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Schueler home, Santa Barbara, Calif.
Memorials may be sent in her
memory to a charity of choice.

When was the last time you checked your Home Loan rate?
Your life never stands still, and neither should your mortgage. If change is afoot, it might be time to search for a more suitable home loan.
The lending market is more competitive than ever before. There are new loan options coming out regularly. It is worthwhile to once a year revise your home loan to ensure that your current loan is working in the way you want it to and that your loan is still competitive in terms of interest rates and fees.
Refinancing your loan may allow you to:
- Obtain a better interest rate
- Reduce your monthly repayments
- Borrow additional amounts to cater for lifestyle choices e.g. home improvements, a new car, holidays, investments or consolidating debt
By considering this option, you can save thousands of dollars by paying less interest overall or lower monthly payments.

Free Binding Mounting: We will mount you ski bindings for free whenever you order skis and bindings. If you order boots, too, we can adjust them so they are ready to hit the slopes right out of the box! Just be sure to fill out the mounting form that comes up after checkout.
Ideal Target Skier: Hard Pack Racer: When maximum speed is needed for racing or just to get some wind blowing through your hair (even though you should be wearing a helmet), these guys and girls look for the stiffer and more stable models. No real need to concern yourself with off trail performance, because these skiers think of the groomed runs as being surrounded by hot lava.
Wood Core: The standard core which has throughout time provided the best performance and durability. Each model may have it's own density level to help define flex and maximum speed but every wood core ski will be solid.
Head Kers Technology: Originating in Formula 1 and putting our riders where they belong: in pole. KERS Technology works like a turbo charger that provides additional power and acceleration by stiffening the tail of the ski in outturns.
Era 3.0 Rocker/Camber: Head combines Rocker for flotation in soft snow, a progressive radius for better edge contact and grip, and shock absorption to dampen vibrations.
UHM C Base: The most durable, quickest base material on the market. It requires very little maintenance and allows your skis to do what they are made to do until you decide you've hit so many rocks that it needs a tune.
Sandwich Construction (SW): SW means that the sides of the skis are a vertical wall rather the the rounded Cap construction forund on most skis. Since none of the skis material needs to be exerting force maintaining shape at the edges, SW skis are stiffer than their Cap counterparts. Most people find SW skis to be damper, that is more glued to the snow, superior at high speed GS turns and top notch at busting through crud or choppy snow.
PRD 14 Bindings Included: This ski comes with a Head/Tyrolia PRD 14 Binding Included. It slides onto a PRD Plate that comes pre-installed on the ski and is adjustable from 255-378mm and has a DIN Range that goes from 4-14.

NEW!! Master's Program Scholarships Available
For undergraduate students, the department offers three academic programs:
Bachelor of Science (BS)
Bachelor of Arts (BA)
The BS is our most technical undergraduate offering, designed to prepare students for careers in industry or for advanced study in computer science. The BA, with its broad, flexible requirements, is ideal for students who want to combine computer science with another discipline, such as mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, government, psychology, linguistics, or philosophy. Finally, the minor and its basic courses on programming, mathematical methods, and data structures lets students supplement and strengthen their major requirements.
For Georgetown students pursuing the BS in computer science, we offer an accelerated Master's program:
The accelerated MS program, through course-work and thesis options, lets Georgetown students strengthen their foundational education, gain additional preparation for technical careers in industry, or prepare for advanced study at the doctoral level.
For people with an undergraduate degree in a field other than computer science, the department offers a certificate program:
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate
The post-baccalaureate certificate program in computer science (PBCS) is designed for qualified students who have an undergraduate degree in a discipline other than computer science. It lets students take foundational courses in programming, data structures, algorithms, hardware, and systems. The program prepares students for further advancement in their current field, for entry-level positions in industry and in government, or for advanced study in computer science at the graduate level.
For graduate students, we offer the degrees
Master of Science (MS)
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
The MS lets students further develop their technical skills and concentrate in areas of their choosing. Two external electives give students the ability to broaden their studies to disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, international affairs, and biostatistics. A thesis option exposes students to research in preparation for careers in applied research or further study at the doctoral level.
The Ph.D. program prepares students for research and teaching careers in academia and for research and technical careers in industry and government. It is a full-time program that consists of completing the requirements for the Master's program, taking doctoral seminars, passing a qualifying exam, writing and defending a proposal for research, conducting that research, and writing and defending a dissertation describing the investigation.

Enough is enough, Halo: Master Chief Collection. This is getting ridiculous.
That Halo: MCC's multiplayer matchmaking is still a muddled mess several weeks after release is frankly unacceptable. We've given 343i a lengthy spool of rope, and they've been allowed a fair bit of slack from the gaming press, but this was supposed to be the flagship title of the winter. And for all of the talk about what a great content package it is -- and it really is a cracking content package even as an offline game -- the fact is that Halo's multiplayer has always been just as much of an important part of the formula as the expansive, game-changing singleplayer/co-op aspects of the series, if not more so.
This was supposed to be the triumphant end to a year in which the Xbox One has really turned itself around, largely thanks to the efforts of Phil Spencer and his team; and what better series to deliver than Halo? Microsoft and 343i got everything right, delivering an outstandingly well-priced and well-balanced collection designed to (re)introduce a new generation of Xbox fans to the Master Chief and his exploits.
Everything except the matchmaking.
Looking about on Reddit and N4G and the various comment streams across coverage of 343i's debacle, many have asked why the likes of Driveclub and Assassin's Creed: Unity came under such heavy fire while Halo has been given the benefit of the doubt in many quarters. With Driveclub, it's important to note that the game's unique selling points were all tethered to that online experience. Driveclub was a game marketed, previewed, and centred around the connected experience -- without it, the game was simply impossible to review and disappointing to play. Assassin's Creed: Unity was a Uplay-stuffed singleplayer game that released in a broken, shambolic state, filled with bugs that any decent QA department would have surely rooted out, with all signs pointing towards a game that could have desperately used a few more months in development.
It's perhaps important to recognise that Halo: MCC fits in between the two, straddling singleplayer and multiplayer, seeking to be a one-stop content drop, but doing so on the multiplayer side by trying to balance out a huge number of maps from games built in different engines. But we're not in the habit of making excuses for developers or publishers when it comes to this sort of thing -- this is a disaster for everyone: Microsoft, 343i, Halo fans and prospective buyers. It's all the more galling that server and matchmaking stability seemed absolutely fine ahead of launch when they eventually turned it on -- and this is in a home environment, not at a closed-network review event (more on that later today) -- before buckling under the pressures of the public launch.
If Halo: MCC has been given extra leeway, perhaps it's because the collection itself is masterful, and it's offline/co-op content is vast. By the vast majority of accounts, it is an insane value package that should have emphatically underlined the Master Chief's legacy and importance to the Xbox brand. It should have been the crown jewel in the Xbox One's winter lineup. In a way, and this will surely get debated in the comments, hope is what has led many to give 343i a little more time. To be fair to them, the communication has been fairly good as well. 343i have apologised unreservedly, owning up to the mistakes with clear language that remains respectful of their fanbase rather than insulting the intelligence of consumers with vague waffle.
But does that really make a blind bit of difference here?
Not really in my book. People want fixes, not words. The fact remains that the Xbox One's flagship game is still pretty dead in the water when it comes to its multiplayer. With genre alternatives like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Destiny, and Far Cry 4 out there, not to mention a slew of other big budget headliners in Dragon Age: Inquisition, Sunset Overdrive, and Smash Bros, Halo: MCC will find itself losing traction very quickly, especially at this time of year. Let's not understate this: Microsoft biggest launch of the winter has gone up in smoke. One of the biggest reasons to buy an Xbox One this Christmas is thoroughly broken, and the panic patching has led to new issues as well.
On a personal level, I was so ready to buy an Xbox One and invest in a very Merry Halo Christmas. But now I'll be waiting until 2015, and I don't imagine I'll be alone.
There are lessons to be learned from this. The first is that consumers will not sit idly by and accept the release-now-fix-later culture that has been brewing. There's simply no excuse for it. Destiny, for all of its flaws, was a game that used extensive alpha and beta testing to help identify issues and carefully prepare for launch as well as fuelling the hype train. That Bungie's successors have failed and flamed out with Halo: MCC so spectacularly this winter is exactly what Microsoft would have wanted to avoid. Could extra time have helped? Should a multiplayer beta have been issued earlier in the year? Bonnie Ross has spoken of "unexpected issues", but if you don't run tests you can't find errors. 343i and Microsoft could have been more prepared.
Again, communication is key. Could they have split the release -- singleplayer and co-op out now, multiplayer in beta with a full release to come? One would imagine so. They could have put some rather interesting price plans in place, and extended the hype beyond the initial release. Terminology creates understanding -- you can forgive things in betas that you won't for a final release. I'm oversimplifying, of course, but there must have been alternatives.
The situation as it stands now is dire. Microsoft and 343i need this fixed as soon as possible. And although they might hope that a working Halo 5: Guardians beta might divert some attention, there's simply no real way around this problem. It needs mending, and mending now, otherwise it threatens to undermine Microsoft's comeback momentum, and continue to seriously damage the 343i brand and that of Microsoft's flagship franchise.

I run Debian 9 (Stretch) with Apache 2.4, Mysql, PHP, etc., etc.. At the moment I keep getting messages such as the one mentioned in the subject. I don't know how to fix this. It may be an Apache2 question, but maybe somebody has an idea? Where and what do I have to configure watchdog?
Thanks for any hints!
