HAVING played, coached, managed, general managed and broadcast in New York for 15 years, Lou Piniella cannot be accused of naïveté. So when he raised a question in the form of a statement yesterday, he really knew the answer.
"I don't understand why my name comes up," Piniella said. "I'm signed for two years."
Piniella has two years remaining on his contract as manager of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, but his name keeps coming up in speculation that he will replace Art Howe next season as manager of the Mets.
"Yeah, that's all it is: speculation," Piniella said before his team's doubleheader with the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Given the increasing speculation, however, was he prepared to dismiss it and state he would not ask out of his Devil Rays contract?
"They might not want me back," Piniella said, avoiding a direct answer. Then he paused and chose his words carefully. He did that a lot during the conversation with a reporter he has known for 30 years.
"I know what you're asking," he said. "I have intentions of making this a go here. I come to the ballpark every day with that in mind." But he added, referring to his future employment, "I can't get into that." And he also said, referring to a possible switch, "Stranger things have happened."Continue reading the main story
The Mets have not said anything about the status of Howe, who also has two years left on his contract. But others have said plenty, calling for the Mets to fire him, as if their poor play has been a result of his managing and not the players' ineptitude and the Wilpons' operation of the club.
"Art Howe is not the problem," the general manager of another club said, choosing to remain anonymous so he would not be perceived as intruding in the Mets' business. "Everyone knows what the problem is."
Piniella spoke positively of Howe.
"Art Howe's a good manager," Piniella said. "I managed against him in the western division of the American League for quite a few years. He's a good manager. I had a lot of respect and still do for his managing abilities. I don't know why the Mets are struggling. I don't pay attention."
When Piniella persuaded the Seattle Mariners to let him out of his contract after the 2002 season so he could work closer to home, the Mets wanted him, but the Mariners held them up for stiff compensation, and he wound up really going home to Tampa.
"Every aspect of going back home has been good except that we haven't won the way I'd like to see us," Piniella said. "I knew it was going to be a project, and I knew it was going to take some time."
What he didn't know, perhaps naïvely, was that the Devil Rays' owner, Vincent J. Naimoli, would not spend any money on improving the team. A $23 million payroll, lowest in the major leagues, and questionable management does not bode well for improvement.
"I've enjoyed being home," Piniella said. "It's a different challenge than I've had other places. I knew it would be difficult; I didn't think it would be quite this difficult, to be honest. For two years in a row we're going to wind up with the youngest team in the league."
Piniella doesn't mind young players, but he would like a couple of established hitters to produce in the middle of the lineup and take some of the pressure off the younger hitters.
The team's 12-game winning streak and 15 victories in 16 games in June didn't fool him. "We were playing good baseball," Piniella said, "but I knew we weren't as good as that spurt. I knew we needed hitting at the midpoint to soften the fall a little bit. Now we've fallen back to where it's a struggle."
Since July 4, the Devil Rays (59-79) have gone 19-41, including their two losses yesterday, plunging into peril their quest to eclipse the franchise record of 69 victories.
"It's frustrating, no question about it," Piniella said. Then he addressed the question of whether he had any assurances of future expenditures that would ensure his continued presence as manager.
"Do I have assurances?" he said. "I don't have any assurances that I'll be here tomorrow. I think our payroll will grow moderately over time. I don't think you'll see a huge increase, but I think you'll see over a period of three, four years some increments upward."
Piniella said he didn't go to the Devil Rays for a golden parachute. "I came here to basically duplicate what we did in Seattle -- to win," he said.
But now that it has become obvious that he won't achieve his goal under Naimoli, Piniella could ask out of the contract and Naimoli could excuse him, hire a manager who wouldn't cost $3 million a year and let Piniella go to the Mets for compensation.
If that chain of events was to unfold, however, Piniella might find himself in the same position he's in now.
The Mets seem to have overrated their players, perhaps letting the team's overachieving play in the first half of the season fool them. They could finish in last place for the third successive season, and it wouldn't be through Howe's efforts. They would have earned it the old-fashioned way: through a lack of ability.Continue reading the main story

Willandra National Park
Scrubby red sand plains stretch to the horizon in Willandra National Park, in the state's remote west. In its heyday Willandra was one of the country's great sheep stations, a small outback kingdom renowned for its superb merino wool. Today sheep properties surround the park and remnants of the pastoral era linger on. Extensive grazing over many decades substantially changed the natural environment but since being gazetted as a national park in 1972, a program of regeneration has been in place. The terrain is mainly flat, with tracts of low woodland, eucalypt woodland on the floodplains and native grasses across the open plains. The reedy banks of Yangellawah and Willandra creeks are often shaded by coolibah trees. Kangaroos graze on the plains and emus roam in large groups. Goannas, stumpy-tailed shingleback lizards, skinks, and eastern and western brown snakes are among the many reptiles here. Surprising numbers of birds are drawn to the remote wetlands including many species of ducks, black swans, cormorants, great egrets, herons and other waterbirds. Majestic wedge-tailed eagles are frequently sighted soaring over the plains.
Overlooking Willandra Creek, the original 1918 Willandra Homestead with its 26 rooms, lovely formal gardens and fragrant, old-world peppercorn trees, has been restored and offers up-market accommodation. Visitors can also stay in the more basic Cottage or the Men's Quarters, or camp. The homestead precinct is a fascinating reflection of the past. There are walking tracks (the heat can be searing in summer), and the Merton Motor Trail, although only 20 kilometres, is an interesting scenic drive. Canoeing on the creeks, fishing and picnicking are other pastimes. The vast landscape, heritage buildings, vivid colours and stunning sunsets are ideal photographic subjects.

Posted on August 14th, 2009
Have you ever heard the saying "smooth as butter?" Well, it's the first thing that came to mind after trying this scrumptious scrub. Yup! Your bum will be slick and soft as well as tasty (Don't actually eat the scrub!). I tried Sacred Herbals' Cocoa Butter Walnut scrub, and I was ecstatic with the silky results.
Like most of us, I've always had skin issues. Bumpy legs are my largest phobia! You don't want a guy to run his hands down your legs and get "car-sick" from all the speed bumps! Everyone wants a smooth ride. After one use of this (ground walnut shells) scrub, my legs feel like velvet. They now have that oh so, desired "touch me!" look. So, stock up and buff yourself to happyland! 🙂
P.S. It's an effortless process, unlike those coarse scrubs that dry your skin and build large arm muscles!

The average combined ACT score increased from 20 to 20.3 in Wyoming in 2011, according to a release from the Wyoming Department of Education.
Students meeting all four subject-area benchmarks increased from 17 to 18 percent from last year to this year.
For Sheridan, the average increased from 21.3 to 21.8 and was the highest in four years, or since the state changed requirements where all students must test. Similarly, District 1 students improved from 20.4 to 21.9, also the highest in a four-year span.
In a nationwide comparison, Wyoming is one of only eight states that test 100 percent of their students including Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Tennessee. Colorado and Illinois were the only states to meet subject areas higher than Wyoming, scoring 20.7 and 20.9 on average, respectively.

Welcome to the world's leading forum on Multiple Sclerosis research, support, and knowledge. For over 10 years, This is MS has provided an unbiased community dedicated to Multiple Sclerosis patients, caregivers, and affected loved ones.
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the Central Nervous System that destroys myelin, oligodendrocytes, neurons and axons. It is among the most destructive diseases of the human brain. In the absence of cause for this devastating disease, research has historically focused on the most obvious pathological feature of MS brains - inflammatory demyelination of white matter. This presentation will summarize recent data that supports the concept that inflammation is a secondary response to an underlying CNS disease, which affects the survival of oligodendrocytes and/or neurons. The data originate from pathological analysis of post-mortem MS brains, magnetic resonance imaging studies and the natural history of the disease. From the pathological perspective, demyelination and inflammation have been spatially dissociated in the cerebral cortex of MS patients. This is quite striking in lesions that occupy both subcortical white matter and the cerebral cortex. Prineas and colleagues have recently identified areas of white matter in post-mortem MS brains which contain dying oligodendrocytes but no inflammtory cells. Both MRI and natural history studies identify inflammatory lesions and relapses as modulators, but relatively poor predictors of disease progression in MS patients. A major predictor of disease progression in MS patients is chronological age as most MS patients reach EDSS 4.0 at a similar age independent of disease course (relapsing-remitting vs primary progressive), age of onset and number of relapses. This supports the concept that MS is a primary neurodegenerative disease with a subpopulation of patients having degrees of secondary inflammatory white matter lesions.
Shayk wrote:Hi, I 'm definitely not in the "auto-immune camp".
On the flipside much of the research done to date, and the treatments which have been developed, will have been a waste of time. As usual this vile disease always has the last laugh.
But I'd like to know how many people who have had the disease for 25 or 30 years are still walking without aids
The study describes the clinical and pathological findings in 12 patients with relapsing and remitting multiple sclerosis, who died during or shortly after the onset of a relapse. Pathological changes not previously associated with the formation of new symptomatic lesions were observed in seven cases, namely, extensive oligodendrocyte apoptosis and microglial activation in myelinated tissue containing few or no lymphocytes or myelin phagocytes. No current laboratory model of multiple sclerosis, in particular, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, is known with these features, which raises the possibility of some novel process underlying new lesion formation in multiple sclerosis.
microglia were activated focally and phagocytosed the collapsed myelin. This study demonstrates that an antibody directed against myelin-forming cells induces CNS demyelination and supports the hypothesis that autoantibodies may play a role in CNS demyelinating diseases.

NAME cleandrive - Clean drive in media changer SYNOPSIS /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/cleandrive eq AVAILABILITY SUNWsamfs DESCRIPTION cleandrive requests that tape device eq be loaded with a cleaning cartridge. The SAM-QFS environment supports the use of a cleaning tape, if cleaning tapes are supported by the hardware and if your media library has barcodes enabled. If you request that a tape drive be cleaned, then a cleaning tape is inserted automatically. Cleaning tapes must have a VSN starting with the letters CLN in the label or must have the word CLEAN in the label. Mul- tiple cleaning tapes are allowed in a system. Cleaning tapes are only useful for a limited number of cleaning cycles. The number of remaining cycles can be viewed in the samu (1M) VSN catalog display under the count field. The SAM-QFS environment tracks the number of clean- ing cycles used for each cleaning tape. If the media changer supports the export operation, SAM-QFS file systems will export the tape when the number of remaining cycles equals zero. A DLT cleaning tape has 20 cycles and an Exabyte cleaning tape has 10 cycles. Each time a cleaning tape is imported, the cleaning cycle is reset to the highest number of cycles for that type of tape.

In 2006 I moved into the desert, away from all the city's amenities. I sponged off the infrastructure of some friends while building my own little cabin in the boondocks.
Since I'm no professional builder and had no money, the project took years. At first my plan was very simple, just a private little shack with an outhouse. But the longer it took the more elaborate the project became. Running water became available, which made an actual flush toilet possible, which meant that in addition to buying and trenching a whole bunch of pipe I had to dig and build a septic system. It added months to the project, but hey! Indoor plumbing! What's not to love?
See, when you pare things down to necessities you find that the most basic modern conveniences, while not strictly necessary for life, are each such improvements that they almost may as well be. Would you live without running water if you didn't have to? Me neither. How about electricity?
You don't realize how much electricity makes possible until you go without it. Lights at night, sure. But how about connectivity? Communications? Entertainment? Power tools? Do you even have a way to charge a cellphone battery? If not, you'd better be careful not to need emergency help.
Moving away from the grid doesn't mean you have to join the Cult of Ludd. And it's very satisfying to produce something for yourself that we all grew up thinking could only come from a giant utility company. I'm typing this in my cabin in the desert, several miles from the nearest power pole. I'm using a laptop computer, and will transmit the document over a modem to a satellite. Hey, I'm pushing sixty and I have to say That's Just Cool.
So my original plan to go without electricity didn't last long. But how to do it? Solar electric systems are impossibly expensive by my (completely broke) standards. Plus, I didn't know anything about how to install one. If the Solar Power Fairy had dropped all the crated parts into my yard one night, I'd still have been stuck for how to put it together. And the Fairy doesn't seem to make housecalls around here.
So this is a story of learning curves, and luck, and finding out (sometimes painfully) what I'm willing to do without and what I'm not. If you have any ideas about off-grid living in your own future, you might be able to profit from my experiences and mistakes.
You see, my little cabin has gone through two completely separate solar electric systems. The first one I made entirely with scrounged and cast-off parts; just whatever I found lying around. It cost virtually nothing. It was quite a learning experience, but it didn't work very well. I built the second system on the same philosophy (keep it cheap) but not so extreme. It has run for almost a year without a hitch as of this writing, and I've been very happy with it.
In this 40-page booklet I'm going to show you both systems, and a few other things besides. It contains:
The book is brief, only 40 pages. It is not, repeat not, a technical manual. It will not walk you through all the steps for specing and installing a solar power system. It's just the illustrated story, written in my usual manner, of how a crazy old guy with no money or knowledge tried to build his own off-grid solar power system, and finally succeeded.
I found your eBook to be a breath of fresh air in sharing your experiences of venturing into the subject. You explained many of the basics you either ferreted out of the information flood waters, friends and acquaintances who have real life — if not foraging based — experiences in developing systems and/or trail and error. In accurately descriptive words, you separated the wheat from the chaff in basic explanatory terms and cleared away a lot of the hype, promises and marketing present in more advanced works (which claimed to be "basic.")
After reading your book, and experimenting with some basic components, I can now understand not only the knowledge I actually need, but can understand many of the sections about components — chargers, panel size and compatibility, battery requirements, etc. – to where I'm designing a system I have confidence in.
I found your book to be the best primer on the market and do thank you for it!

Joel, GREAT ebook! Worth every penny and written as though you were in the room speaking to me in person. Almost offered you a glass of lemonade. Ill spread the word about the book. Very down to earth, not technical and great ideas where to get stuff (the RV inverter is a brilliant idea) . I am plotting and planning my secret lair.. A great name for your shack. Keep up the good work. Write a few mre books while you're at it.

Chapter 1: What You Need to Know About Weight Mastery
An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.
—Irv Kupcinet
There's a reason why long-term weight loss is so elusive, and I'm willing to bet you already know the answer: Successful lifelong weight mastery has more to do with your mind than it does with your mouth. Losing weight and keeping it off has less to do with what you eat and just about everything to do with why you eat it. In other words, unless you can deal with stressful emotions, physical cravings, or food addictions, ultimately no diet in the world will bring you the lasting change you seek. But, as I said, I bet you already knew this.
From the start, let's get one thing straight: Thin from Within isn't a diet book. I leave that to Weight Watchers, South Beach, Atkins, Zone, Jenny Craig, Dr. Joel Fuhrman's nutritarian lifestyle, or one of the more than 70,000 (!) diet books offered at Amazon.com, all of which present methods to lose weight. You don't need more information on calories, points, portions, or carbohydrates. If you're really serious about losing weight and keeping it off, what you do need is a progressive, psychological solution that can answer such common frustrations as: Why can't I handle stress without resorting to food? Why do I feel too tired to exercise? Why can't I tell when enough is enough? Why can't I just say no to self-destructive impulses? Why can't I keep the weight off?
So before you embrace that next miracle, eat-all-you-want-and-still-lose-weight diet, recognize the simple truth that the last thing you need is another diet. What you do need is another perspective—a perspective that will never again allow you to be victimized by impulsive cravings, self-sabotage, or mindless emotional grazing.
The Key to Psychological Resilience: Self-Coaching
Losing weight is, of course, why you diet, but as you know, that's only half the battle. The other half is keeping it off. And for many, it's the keeping it off that seems so impossible. Although the challenges you face in the losing phase (i.e., dealing with long-standing destructive eating habits and crippling compulsions, handling the discomfort of a reduced-calorie diet while sustaining motivation, self-discipline, and so forth) can persist into the keeping-it-off phase, this time you're going to have an advantage to keep you on track. By blending powerful cognitive, psychological insights with motivational coaching, the Self-Coaching method that I systematically describe over the course of this book goes beyond simple slogans and one-liners and gets to the emotional core of mindless, compulsive, or even addictive eating. Once you are liberated from faulty perceptions, insecurities, frustrations, and even anxiety or depression, you will be empowered to handle life's challenges—not sidestep them through food.
As anyone who has ever yo-yoed with weight loss/weight gain can tell you, given time, your old habits can (and will) attempt to undermine your resolve, which is why you need to establish a totally new relationship with food—a relationship in which you, rather than your desires, compulsions, or addictions, call the shots. One in which you stabilize your mind, your physiology, and your behavior to embrace a new philosophy of learning how to eat to live, rather than living just to eat.
Take a moment to think about the times in your life when you felt invincible, able to walk away from temptations, the times you felt totally confident and in control. Maybe it was a time you stepped onto a scale and saw a significant drop in your weight, or perhaps when you declined a particularly tempting piece of birthday cake, or even the moment you decided,
No more procrastination. I'm going to lose weight! These were empowered moments of psychological resilience, times when you felt motivated and focused on your intentions. Unfortunately, as you will most likely agree, these times were often fleeting, as old habits inevitably reintroduced themselves.
What if you could harness that same resilience and motivation and allow this strong, confident, self-disciplined mindset to become your new, steady state? You can. And this is where Self-Coaching has you covered.

The patch looks almost you moved usb_process.c code into taskqueue(9) that I means it still follows that a entry which enqueued at last should be executed at last. It seems that at least it's not a general for taskqueue(9). In my humble opinion it looks a trick. I think it'd better to find a general solution to solve it though I used sx(9) lock in my patches. regards, Weongyo Jeong _______________________________________________ firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-usb-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

On a recent Sunday afternoon, I happened to be in the audience when three Finnish NHL players held a press conference about their game later that week in Helsinki, Finland. The Anaheim Ducks players were on the podium, in their impressive looking suits that they're required to wear as stipulated in the Exhibit 14, Paragraph 5 of the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players' association.
While listening to them, I happened to notice that two of them were wearing very impressive looking watches on their arms.
And when I say "impressive", I mean "expensive".
Afterwards, as we walked to the tram, I mentioned the watches and the suits to a colleague of mine, and he told me a story about the Washington Capitals, and how they were invited to a Versace event last summer. While the rest of the team came sharply dressed, the team's captain, Alexander Ovechkin showed up wearing a Nike T-shirt, he told me.
He paused, and looked at me.
"But on his arm, he was wearing a 238,000-dollar watch," my colleague said.
"That's absurd. Really? 238 000? That's like wearing our house on his arm," I said.
"You must have a nice house," he said.
I don't even know how much my watch cost because it was a present from Wife, and even when I had to go get the armband fitted, I promised her that I wouldn't take a look at the receipt that was in the bag.
"I mean, you know," she said, "I don't want our anniversaries to become these big events when we give each other big presents."
With Wife, it's hard to tell, though. When we first started dating, her idea of a lot of money was 500 Swedish crowns, the equivalent of 50 euro, or 75 dollars. My idea of a lot of money back then was in the 500 000 crown neighborhood. That's one area where we've got a lot closer over the years.
That's why my present to her on our fifth wedding anniversary was a Wonderwoman tea mug.
When I got back to the hotel, I called Wife and told her the story about Ovechkin going to a Versace event wearing a T-shirt, and a 238 000-dollar watch. By that point, I had forgot if it was 238 000 dollars, or 283 000, but since I didn't want to exaggerate, I went with 238 000.
"Can you imagine that?" I sort of asked her.
She couldn't. She was speechless.
Later that week, I told the Ovechkin story several times. I told it to colleagues, old teammates, and guys I bumped into at the media center at the arena. I told them about Versace, all the nice suits, the T-shirt, and – wait for it – the 238 000-dollar watch.
On Friday, I told the story to my father who had driven five hours that day to come to the game. I told it to him as casually as I could, delivering the punchline about the watch. He laughed like it was the craziest, and the coolest thing he had ever heard.
We talked about the Finnish NHLers, and the game, and the ticket prices, before I had to go back to my seat in the pressbox. Dad sat down in his seat, behind a group of the Ducks' American fans.
On my way to my seat, I bumped into L, an old friend of Dad's – one that he hadn't seen in years – so I asked him if he'd like to say hi to my father. He did so we walked to Dad's seat and surprised him. After a few niceties and quick updates, Dad pointed to the man sitting in front of him.
"I wonder if that's a Stanley Cup ring, or if it's a fake," he said.
"It's probably a fake," said L, Dad's teammate from oldtimers' hockey, and a guy who often took on the rest of the team in hockey trivia games, and beat them, on their trips.
"Did you see the story about the Boston Bruins' Stanley Cup rings?" I asked L. "They have 300 diamonds on them."
My Dad shook his head. "Unreal," he said.
L rolled up the lineup sheets he had in his hand, and tapped the palm of his other hand with them.
"That's right," he said, and paused.
"And I hear Ovechkin's watch is worth 223 000 euro," he added.

FY 2010 Appropriations for Mental Health Research and Services for Veterans (Written Testimony)
Published Thursday, April 23, 2009 7:00 am
Subcommittee on Military Construction & Veterans Affairs Committee on Appropriations U.S. House of Representatives
American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry4/23/2009
Testimony of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry for the Subcommittee on Military Construction & Veterans Affairs
Committee on Appropriations
U.S. House of Representatives
On Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations for the Department of Veterans Affairs
The American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP) is pleased to have the opportunity to testify on Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 appropriations for mental health research and services for veterans. AAGP is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the mental health and well being of older Americans and improving the care of those with late-life mental disorders. Our membership consists of approximately 2,000 geriatric psychiatrists as well as other health professionals who focus on the mental health problems faced by senior citizens.
Although we agree with others in the mental health community about the importance of Federal support for mental health research and treatment, AAGP brings a unique perspective to these issues because our members serve the older adult patient population.
We appreciate the Subcommittee�s support for the highest quality health care for our nation�s veterans and for the research necessary to advance the quality of their care. Our veterans put forth their lives for our nation, and they deserve access to quality health care.
The Challenge of Meeting the Mental Health Needs of the Aging Veteran Population
Of the nation�s 25.5 million veterans, nine million--approximately 35 percent�-served in World War II or the Korean War. Another eight million aging Vietnam era veterans will soon join this older cohort and will bring increased challenges to the VA, including increased cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and, perhaps, a higher burden of substance abuse. The VA must be able to provide the specialized mental health care that these older veterans will need.
Between the years 1990 and 2000, the number of veterans in the 45-54 year-old age group who received mental health services from the VA more than tripled. As the nation continues to pursue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, thousands of younger veterans will turn to the VA for the special care and services only it can provide. All of these individuals will swell the ranks of those who will ultimately require geriatric care.
However, the most rapid growth in demand during the last decade was among older veterans. During that time, there was a four-fold increase in the number of veterans aged 75-84 who received VA mental health services. This substantial increase in utilization is even more striking when one considers that research has revealed an ongoing problem with under-diagnosis of mental disorders in older age groups.
More than half a million veterans are 85 years of age or older, and the VA predicts that this oldest group will reach 1.2 million in 2010. Historically, as many as one-third of all veterans seeking care at the VA have received treatment for mental disorders; and research indicates that serious mental illnesses affect at least one-fifth of the veterans who use the VA health care system. In addition, those who are older often suffer from co-existing medical conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, lung disease, debilitating arthritis, or other conditions. For these patients, treatment of their medical illnesses is often complicated by psychiatric disorders. Conversely, their psychiatric care is more complex because of the co-occurrence of medical illness, which commonly requires treatment with multiple medications. Thus, for older veterans with mental health problems, psychiatric treatment must be integrated and coordinated with their general medical care.
The increasing need for coordinated mental health and general health care services for rapidly growing numbers of older veterans demands adequate, ongoing funding for VA mental health services, training, and research to meet the needs of the aging veteran population.
Comprehensive, Integrated Mental Health and General Health Care for Aging Veterans
The AAGP is pleased that the Mental Health Enhancement Initiative (MHEI) has grown from $100 million when this special purpose fund was created in 2005, to $557 million in 2009. Through the MHEI, VA has ensured the availability of mental health staff to treat elderly veterans who receive their general health care through Home-Based Primary Care (HBPC) programs and in Community Living Centers (CLCs, previously known as Nursing Home Care Units). The integration of mental health services into primary care and related settings has made it easier for older veterans to access mental health care, and has improved the continuity of care for the complex problems of this population.
AAGP notes that it has been five years since the development of the VHA Uniform Mental Health Services Strategic Plan, and five years since the MHEI was made available to support that plan. AAGP looks forward to the time when the Mental Health Strategic Plan is fully implemented. However, it is anticipated that, after 2009, the MHEI will be rolled over into the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA). While we believe VA�s intent is to maintain the enhancements described above, AAGP has concerns about VA�s ability to achieve full implementation of the Mental Health Strategic Plan without sustained, dedicated funding. We therefore urge Congress to enact safeguards to prevent diffusion of the ongoing support that is required to reach this goal. AAGP appreciates that there is an important existing safeguard in appropriations language that requires no less than $3.8 billion to be spent for mental health purposes and an additional $130 million in spending on programs for the homeless. However, further safeguards are necessary to ensure continuation of funding specifically dedicated to full implementation of the VHA Uniform Mental Health Services Strategic Plan.
AAGP would also like to point out to Congress that the historic investment in aging research and services is paying off. VA has played a leading role in developing the scientific evidence base for understanding and treating health problems that are common in late-life, such as cognitive impairment, musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic pain. VA expertise in managing these complex, interacting infirmities of aging now informs the approach to younger veterans with similar problems. The cross-fertilization made possible by advances in geriatric mental health care will be especially important in working with returning OEF/OIF veterans who have poly-trauma which results in functional limitations due to a combination of cognitive impairment and physical disability. A related concern is the previously recognized association between head trauma and increased risk of developing Alzheimer�s disease, which anticipates the possibility of accelerated brain aging in these younger veterans. AAGP urges Congress to support the VA in monitoring and managing the downstream clinical outcomes of traumatic brain injury and its associated cognitive and physical disabilities�beyond the initial recovery period�as these veterans continue to age.
Mental Healthcare Workforce and VA Recruitment and Training in Geriatrics
In light of the demonstrated toll of mental illness among veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years, the Veterans Administration has added thousands of mental health professionals to meet their mental health needs. This build-up of the VA mental health workforce is clearly needed and is welcomed by the mental health community as a life-saving measure for these veterans and their families. Although the large increase in staffing has been focused on younger adults, it is crucial to remember that the majority of patients currently served by the VHA are aging middle-aged and older veterans, and that these are the veterans that most of the newly hired mental health staff will treat. The VA should ensure that they are adequately trained to meet the unique needs of veterans in late-life.
The 2008 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on the geriatric workforce emphasizes the dearth of healthcare professionals trained in geriatrics. The shortfall is especially critical in the field of geriatric mental health. AAGP is concerned that, as the VA continues to increase the number of mental health professionals in its workforce, it can be expected to encounter serious challenges in attempts to recruit geriatric psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other geriatric mental health practitioners who have specific training and experience in the care of older adults. In light of these challenges, AAGP commends VA for its record of leadership in training geriatric mental health professionals. This has been accomplished, in part, through funding of the Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Centers (MIRECCs), Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Centers (GRECCs), and Parkinson Disease Research Education and Clinical Centers (PADRECCs). AAGP recommends that, in response to the 2008 IOM geriatric workforce report, Congress enact safeguards to ensure continued funding for the training of geriatric mental health professionals through these VA-based centers.
Veterans and Long-term Care
An estimated 30 percent of the patients in veterans� nursing home facilities currently suffer from Alzheimer�s disease or other types of dementia. There are many more veterans still living in the community who are at risk for nursing home placement as their cognitive and functional status decline, and as their family caregivers become unable to care for them. As the elderly veteran population increases, the demand for long-term care services is expected to grow. Also, a substantial number of returning OEF/OIF veterans with traumatic brain injuries will require long-term residential care, now and in the near future.
AAGP is concerned that the capacity of traditional veterans� nursing home facilities to care for veterans with cognitive and functional impairments due to Alzheimer�s disease and traumatic brain injuries will soon be overwhelmed. We anticipate that VA will therefore need to increase its capacity to provide long-term residential health care, in part by continuing its efforts to expand non-institutional options while preserving and improving its network of nursing homes. Quality of care for veterans with long-term care needs across the lifespan will require substantial attention to the epidemiology of mental illness (including dementia and other cognitive disorders) in this population, and the provision of geriatric mental health services that are vertically integrated into both institutional and non-institutional programs and horizontally integrated with general medical care and mental health services. This is the only way to prevent aging veterans with medical-psychiatric co-morbidity and associated physical disabilities from falling through the �service system� cracks.
Returning OEF/OIF veterans state that, if their injuries require residential care, they would not be comfortable living in traditional nursing homes, built in the past for older adults, that isolate them from the community. Another important innovation, currently underway at VA, is the program for cultural transformation of existing Nursing Home Care Units into Community Living Centers. AAGP applauds this VA project that will benefit both older and younger veterans who require residential care, providing a more home-like environment, enhancing dignity for recipients of care, and ensuring opportunities for continued participation in community life.
AAGP is also pleased with the development of a VHA strategic plan specifically for care of veterans with Alzheimer�s disease and related dementias, and we urge Congress to support continued innovation in the approaches utilized by VA health personnel in treating veterans with Alzheimer�s disease. The VA should also be supported in its efforts to develop family and caregiver support programs to enable veterans to remain at home for an extended period, and to receive community-based support services before nursing home care becomes necessary. AAGP recommends the creation of a new line of mental health research funding for the development, testing, and dissemination of interventions to manage the psychiatric and behavioral manifestations of Alzheimer�s disease and related dementias. AAGP is especially concerned about the occurrence of agitation and aggression, which are frequent and severe behavior problems confronted by caregivers of patients with dementia living at home as well as in long-term care facilities. Scientific evidence for safe and effective treatments for the psychiatric and behavioral symptoms of dementia is limited. We therefore propose that the VA undertake studies to address ways to manage agitation and aggressive behavior in older veterans in long-term care and domiciliary facilities.
Although the VA has made genuine progress in psychiatric research in recent years, the level of research funding remains disproportionate to the utilization of mental health services by veterans. Despite the fact that veterans with mental illness account for approximately one-third of all veterans receiving treatment within the VA system, VA resources devoted to psychiatric and behavioral health research have lagged far behind those dedicated to research on other medical conditions. As the elderly veteran population expands and the number with dementia and other mental disorders grows, strengthening the research base in geriatric psychiatry becomes increasingly urgent. VA sponsored research into mental disorders of aging benefits all Americans, not just our veterans.
AAGP also has concerns about the future incidence of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the aging veteran population. While there are obvious war-related traumas that lead to PTSD in younger OEF/OIF veterans, aging veterans are exposed to various catastrophic events and traumas of late-life that can lead to new-onset PTSD or may trigger reactivation of pre-existing PTSD. Reactivation of PTSD has been seen more frequently in recent years among World War II, Korean conflict and Viet Nam era veterans. As the cohort of Viet Nam era veterans exhibits the infirmities of aging, with extensive co-morbidity and disability from interacting medical, psychiatric, and substance use disorders, they may be especially vulnerable to PTSD. AAGP therefore urges that funding for research and services related to PTSD be directed to the care of veterans across the entire lifespan.
A vitally important VA program for coordinating mental health research with education and clinical care are the Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (MIRECCs). Since 1996, Congress has authorized the VA to establish ten of these centers dedicated to mental illness research, education and clinical activities. AAGP believes the MIRECCs have successfully demonstrated that coordinated research and education projects can achieve rapid translation of new scientific knowledge into improved models for clinical services for veterans with mental illness. The investment that Congress has made in MIRECC research has paid substantial dividends, giving VA healthcare professionals more and better tools to treat patients with mental disorders. MIRECCs focus on problems highly relevant to veterans with schizophrenia, PTSD, and other serious mental illnesses, including those whose treatment is complicated by homelessness, substance abuse, or alcoholism. AAGP wishes to emphasize the value of those MIRECCs that focus on issues related to aging, including dementia, and psychiatric disorders in older veterans with concurrent medical illness and/or substance use disorders. AAGP urges Congress to continue funding of the MIRECCs.
In addition, AAGP strongly supports the work of Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Centers (GRECCs). The GRECCs are centers of geriatric excellence designed for the advancement and integration of research, education, and clinical achievements in geriatrics and gerontology. Mental health has played a central role in the entire GRECC program since its inception in the mid-1970�s. GRECCs focus on quality of life and care for the aging veteran and are at the forefront of innovative research and education. Research results have influenced therapies for diseases affecting older veterans and have also been exported outside the veteran community, and AAGP urges continuation and strengthening of these most important research centers.
In conclusion, AAGP commends this Subcommittee for its continued support for VA mental health services, research and training. Representing physicians who are specialists in geriatric psychiatry, AAGP believes that strengthening clinical services, research and training in geriatric mental health will enhance treatment not only for elderly veterans, but also for those who are currently young and middle-aged. Younger veterans are at risk for complications of their mental disorders as they grow older, and they clearly stand to benefit from cross-fertilization of successful treatment approaches that are developed for old, frail veterans with complex, interacting mental and physical problems.
Delivering quality health care for all veterans�integrating both physical and mental health care�must be a top priority. We therefore urge the Subcommittee to increase support for mental health services, training, and research; and to commit the resources necessary to provide our nation�s veterans with access to quality, affordable, well-coordinated physical and mental health care.
The American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry appreciates the opportunity to submit this statement for the Subcommittee�s consideration. AAGP looks forward to working with members of the Subcommittee to ensure that all veterans have access to quality affordable mental health care.

Remove the two Phillips screws on either side of the battery contacts.
Push in the thin rims of the lower case surrounding the battery compartment, bending them past the tabs, and then lift up to free that corner of the lower case.
This part scared me, never in an iFixIt guide have I seen a warning like "trying times are ahead".
I used a plastic iPod opening tool and ran it around the seam in the same order pictured. I had the plastic off in less than a minute with almost no fuss.
There is a slot on the wall of the battery compartment that locks the lower case in place. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry out the slot's lower rim and pull up on the lower case to free the slot from the tabs holding it.
Run a spudger along the seam between the lower case and upper case on the front of the computer to free the tabs locking the lower case. Pull up on the lower case and continue to use the spudger as necessary until you hear three distinct clicks.
Continue to run the spudger around the front, right corner. There are two tabs on the port side of the computer, one near the front corner and one near the sound-out port.
There are three tabs over the optical drive that must be released before the lower case can come off. Slide the spudger into the lower case above the optical drive and run it toward the back of the computer until you hear three distinct clicks.
Turn the computer so that the back is facing you and pull the lower case up and toward you until the back tabs pop free.
Zitat von Paulix:
I found it easier and "safer" to use a spudge at the back as well (two on each side of the hinge)
I did too. Thanks, Paulix.

Remove the following 10 screws from the bottom shield:
Six 3 mm Phillips
Three 7.5 mm Phillips
One 14 mm Phillips
Lift the bottom shield off.
Remove the single Phillips screw securing the DC-In board.
You might not need to remove the entire DC-In board and cable. This is removed because the DC-In jack blocks the upper case from being lifted off. I just removed the screw and pushed the board slightly in when removing the upper case to provide clearance. You may want to tape the board loosely in place when the screw is out to prevent it from falling out.
Angle the DC-In board out of its compartment.
Zitat von beefybov:
You need to undo the adhesive halfway down the cable, so you can lift the DC board to angle it out correctly. beefybov
Good call, beefybov.
Lift the DC-In cable from the adhesive attaching it to the logic board.
Disconnect the DC-In cable from the logic board.
Remove the following 11 screws from the bottom of the computer:

The picture has the lower *right* screw marked as "L" -- but that's a mistake; the short screw is, as described, on the lower LEFT side.
On my computer, the screw in lower right marked "L" (long?) in the picture is M3x6mm and the other two are M3x3mm.
Yes, the LONG screw goes into the bottom RIGHT corner if the screen is facing you as it does when you're using the computer.
Lift the upper case and use a spudger or your finger to disconnect the trackpad connector hidden beneath the white plastic tab.
Lift the upper case enough to disconnect the blue and white power cable from the logic board. Using your fingernails, carefully pry the connector from its socket.
Carefully disconnect the multicolored speaker cable from the logic board in the same fashion.
This is a very tough one. I did break both the power cable and speaker cable off the motherboard, and was unable to separate the motherboard-side connectors from the cable-side connectors even after that. Fortunately, this iBook was already bricked.
Remove the following 16 screws:
Thirteen 3 mm Phillips.
One 3 mm Phillips.
Two 4 mm Phillips.
The little tabs on the shield that are intended to contact the metal on the ports and the optical drive had been flattened out on my iBook and were no longer in contact. I didn't notice this until I had installed the shield. Make sure the tabs are bent down a bit as to contact the ports and optical drive. This system looks like it replaced the foil tape on earlier models. Just my own observation.
Lift the top shield up from the right side, minding the upper left corner which may catch on the metal framework.
Disconnect the Reed Switch board connector from the logic board.
Remove the following 3 screws:
One 3 mm Phillips in the channel between the optical drive and fan.
One 6 mm Phillips from the upper end of the drive bezel.
One 6 mm Phillips extending from the lower left corner of the drive.
1) With your fingernails, grasp the locking bar on either side and pull up a small amount (about 1/16" or 2 mm).
2) After disengaging the locking bar, slide the cable out of the connector.
Release the optical drive ribbon clamp as described above. Slide the optical drive ribbon out of its connector.
Lift the optical drive from the metal framework.
Remove the tape securing the reed switch cable to the optical drive.
Peel the reed switch board from the optical drive. It is held in place with double stick tape.
Reed switch board remains.
BE CAREFUL that the board is replaced in the EXACT position that it was removed from. The top case has a small indentation to accommodate the small "tube" of the board. When I re-assembled my ibook I had consistent (and frustrating) boot/sleep problems, which resolved with the top case removed, re-appeared with case attached. I finally realized that this board was being "pinched" by the top case. Watch that the board sits exactly against the face edge of the optical drive, and that the wires emaerge from the SIDE rather than from the END of the board (proper alignment is illustrated well in the photos here on ifixit)

If you have ordered your plants through the mail, you should unpack your bare-root plants as soon as they are delivered. You should plant them quickly to keep the roots moist.
When you lift the plants from their containers, inspect each one carefully and trim any dangling or damaged roots. Place the plant in your garden so the soil line it is planted in matches where it was in the container. Be sure to spread out the plant's roots. This will encourage root growth. Fill in the hole with soil and then place a shoebox or a paper cone over the plant for at least one day.

We all know that pets teach children a sense of responsibility for another being. Pets need food, water, exercise, play, and most of all, love. In that way, they are not so different from kids. While most pets permit children to take on the responsibility for their care, fuzzy pets (like dogs, cats, and horses) give even more. You can't really cuddle up with a goldfish or hug a snake!
Fuzzy pets offer children huge benefits. They foster nurturing and kindness through caregiving responsibilities and petting, and connectedness by being involved in various family activities. They can lend a listening ear, when your child wants or needs to talk, and give affection through licking, romping, and playing.
The fuzzy pets also receive so many benefits from "their children." Kids have the energy and often the time to devote to their animals, when parents are spent or too busy to pay the pet much attention. Children are naturally attracted to animals from late infancy on, and are mesmerized by them. Dogs and cats are funny to watch, and promote laughter with their antics, and invite kids to be silly too. This is particularly important in today's world, where hardships and tragedies are unfortunately common.
Having a vigorous game of chase with a mutt outside, also, is great exercise for the dog and the kids! Horses can be hugged around their necks and nuzzled by kids too. Horses also provide lots of fun and exercise, as well as the possibility of entering competitions and learning the discipline and training methods to prepare for those. Dogs and cats can do the same, if one is inclined toward entering them into dog or cat shows.
This is my fuzzy friend, Heather. She is going to be 10 years old on February 1st. She is a light in our lives, and entertains us every day. I love her to pieces! Heather is a rescue dog. I've had her for over three years. She's had a lot of abuse in her life, bonding her to me permanently, but now her life is quite cushy with us. Heather loves having her tummy rubbed, and studies show, petting her reduces blood pressure in us! It is a win-win situation. Plus, pet owners tend to live longer!
Fuzzy pets are as important to our lives, as we are to them. Think of where they'd be without us! They'd be roaming the streets, probably emaciated, possibly being public nuisances, and worst of all, they'd be living without love! What do you have to offer a fuzzy being? The benefits far outweigh the risks and the work.

There's an old phrase in the world of small business SEO, and it goes like this: Content is King.
It's still correct these days that the content of your site is very important – from the keywords you use, the on=page content, the meta descriptions you employ, and to some extent, even the links pointing your way. But in 2012 – in the wake of the Panda and Penguin algorithm changes – we'd like to suggest a modification to that time-tested axiom. We think it should be "good content is king."
Search engine optimization is still relevant – heck, optimizing for search engines will be relevant as long as search engines themselves are. But it's good, quality content now that drives traffic to your site in the most natural, organic way. That means that the best small business marketing tactic doesn't necessarily rely in your on-page optimization, but in your content writing.
Yes, you can still write content on external websites to attract people (via links) back to your site. But this content should be unique and high-quality; otherwise it won't win anyone over.
The problem? You're not a writer. The solution? Someone out there is and it is easier than ever to find quality content writing to enhance your small business SEO like never before.
Resources for Finding Quality Content Writers for SEO
There are more than just a few websites that help connect small businesses with quality content writers. Let's look at a few:
- Elance.com
- oDesk.com
- Freelancer.com
- Guru.com
- iFreelance.com
- GoFreelance.com
In order to find the writer that's right for your site, you'll want to place project ads on these sites, telling your potential writers exactly what you need including knowledge of keywords and current SEO trends. You should mention in your project descriptions that you're looking for people to join your team as freelancers who regularly contribute content that is search-engine friendly.
Within a few short days, you should have plenty of bids to go through. We suggest looking through the job history and writing samples of each writer in order to make the best possible decision on whom to hire.
Yes, if you're a large enough company, you can simply employ a full-time writer in-house. They'll be able to assimilate the corporate and customer values you're looking for and write specifically for your brand. But until you can afford writers full-time (and afford to pay them full benefits, as well), freelance writers can provide great content writing for a reduced cost.
It may take some time before you can find the right writer for your brand, but once you do, it's important to build a relationship with them so that they remain loyal to you over the long haul. Now that good content is king, your new writer will help you to be in a better position for small business SEO than ever before.

The Simpsons. There's no getting away from them. Having spanned more than 28 seasons and with over 600 episodes in the bag, the yellow family from Evergreen Terrace are something that many of us have grown up watching.
Whilst many people pride themselves on the knowledge they have about our companions from Springfield, a new infographic has revealed some statistics that even super fans may be unaware of.
Printing experts Toner Giant have scoured the original scripts of the famous TV series and through meticulous research, have revealed a number of interesting facts that put into perspective just how long this show has been running!
For example…
- Homer has said his famous catchphrase "D'oh!" 1130 times
- In real life, Maggie would now be 29 years old
- The total word count for every script of The Simpsons comes to 1,439,970
You can take a look at more statistics like these in the infographic below…

Fairhope, AL - Page and Palette announces it will host #1 New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles for a book-signing event with the release of his highly anticipated novel Natchez Burning. Iles will discuss the new book beginning at 2 p.m. on May 4th at Centennial Hall, located on the campus of Faulkner State Community College in Fairhope. Tickets to the author event are and may be used as a coupon toward the book purchase. Natchez Burning is scheduled to be released on April 29th.
Greg Iles has earned outstanding critical praise and a legion of fans for his novels including The Quiet Game, Turning Angel, and Devil s Punchbowl. Iles has shown he has incredible range in his ability to craft exceptional suspense novels featuring compelling, multidimensional characterization. Now, in the literary publishing event of the summer, Iles presents his most powerful work to date with Natchez Burning, the auspicious first volume in a trilogy featuring southern mayor and former prosecutor Penn Cage. A spectacular and grand epic novel that spans 40 years and unflinchingly captures the political unrest of a nation dangling between a chaotic past and an unpredictable future. The historic town of Natchez, Mississippi, is the backdrop for this remarkable thriller, a place inextricably bound to our national identity. It is a place where fiercely held convictions about race have undergone enormous change at great cost to human life over the last decades.
Drenched in southern atmosphere, Natchez Burning marks the brilliant return of a genuine American master of suspense. Tense, disturbing, and filled with electrifying plot twists, this novel commences the most explosive and ambitious story Greg Iles has ever written.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Greg Iles was born in 1960 in Germany where his father ran the U.S. Embassy medical clinic during the height of the Cold War. After graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1983 he performed for several years with the rock band "Frankly Scarlet" and is currently member of the band "The Rock Bottom Remainders." His first novel, "Spandau Phoenix," a thriller about war criminal Rudolf Hess, was published in 1993 and became a New York Times bestseller. Iles went on to write ten bestselling novels, including "Third Degree," "True Evil," "Turning Angel," "Blood Memory," "The Footprints of God," and "24 Hours" (released by Sony Pictures as "Trapped," with full screenwriting credit for Iles). He lives in Natchez, Mississippi.

Three men sporting "anti-US buttons" huddle behind a downtown bank. They are braving freezing weather to make candleholders for a protest one block over that drew 40,000 Koreans - the largest demonstration ever against US troops on the peninsula.
All three men, employed by the bank, are in their 30s. None accepts President Bush's apology by telephone Friday to President Kim Dae Jung for the deaths of two 14-year-old girls in a military accident. Two US soldiers were recently acquitted on charges stemming from the incident, which has become a seemingly unquenchable source of anti-US feeling for Koreans under 40.
"I'm anti-Bush, and I'm anti-US," says one. "What we want is an official apology from Bush, not a phone call. We want the US out of Korea. Then the North and the South can unify and make a strong nation."
Such sentiment among younger generations continues to reach new levels of expression in this major Pacific ally - at least prior to presidential elections Thursday. Those elections, the first in five years, will bring to high office one of two very different candidates - one pro-US, one less so - who will shape the status of a 50-year US presence here, as well as approaches to the isolated state of North Korea.
The protest started mid-Saturday with about 5,000, swelled to a police estimate of 40,000 by 7 p.m., and seemed to include a cross section of mainstream Seoul. Students waved "Yankee Go Home Flags." Families with small children holding candles listened as a Korean girl band sang lyrics tailored for the occasion with refrains like "Bush apologize!" Protesters clustered under flags ranging from feminist associations to Tae kwan do clubs and chanted "Down, down, USA."
Largely organized by hundreds of politically left "civic groups" through the Internet, and duplicated in some 70 cities around the South, the crowd in Seoul moved from the holiday-festooned city hall plaza, through police blockades, to the statue of ancient General Lee Soon-shin - which is within shouting distance of the US Embassy.
Younger riot police, wandering through the city afterward, admitted they let the protesters through, "since many of us do feel sympathy with them, and we weren't going to let them go all the way to the [US] Embassy," as one put it.
Anti-US sentiment here reflects a complicated mix of emotions and aims. It draws largely from a Korean desire to feel unified as a nation. Koreans feel great pride in their economic surge, their world-beating computer-chip industry, and their skill in sports on the world stage - all coming from a nation of only 48 million. Thus, Koreans want "equal treatment" with the US on their own soil and a renegotiation of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) governing the terms of US troop presence.
The sentiment also feeds off local leftist politics, often pro-North, that are popular among younger people. In addition, many Koreans refer to a global perception of US "arrogance," that has run high as the Bush administration lays plans for a regime change in Iraq.
But the deaths of two Korean girls this June provided a focal point for long-dormant national and cultural feelings. Shim Mi-son and Shin Hyo-son were crushed by a 57-ton tank during exercises near the DMZ. Two soldiers were driving the tank, which travels at about 15 mph; one of the drivers was talking with his company commander and did not hear a warning, according to a South Korean investigation.
Originally the US had no plan to prosecute the soldiers, calling it an accident that fell under civil law. But the South Korea justice department requested the soldiers be turned over to face criminal charges in a Korean court. After Korean outrage, the US agreed to try the soldiers under military tribunal.
US officials say Korean press coverage was biased - accusing the US of brushing aside the incident too quickly. By mid-fall every US official from the base commander to Secretary of State Colin Powell had expressed regret. But official sorrow never kept pace with convulsing tides of popular argument here. Two weeks ago, feelings went sky-high after the military tribunal acquitted the two tank drivers. A majority of younger Koreans interviewed at the rally say they feel the US soldiers deliberately ran over the girls, offering several conspiracy theories for this view.
Much of the organization behind the rally seemed to come from professional activists with pro-North Korea backing and political parties like the communist-leaning Korean Democratic Labor Party (KDLP), whose workers were out early Saturday helping with sound equipment and staging. Top KDLP official Kim Bae Gon started off the event with a series of hard-hitting questions, such as "How many lives will the US take away from the Korean people?"
Korea has a culture of public protests. On any given Sunday, Seoul echoes with chants for government workers rights, immigrants visas, and other demands. But Saturday's rally was the biggest since the World Cup, which itself was the biggest since 1987. "The World Cup obliterated the fear of gathering together as Koreans," says Kong Too-chun, a law student at Seoul National University. "People had plaza-phobia, but no more. I think the fear of making anti-US rallies is also leaving."
Still, there is a real question about how deep the anti-US sentiment goes - one that may in part be answered by Thursday's election. "So many of us don't think this way. I want this to be understood," says social worker Peter Kim. "We think this is just foolish, it isn't mature. We can't just rewrite the SOFA agreement. We think this is tied up with sympathy for North Korea."
Still, the size of the emerging anti-American sentiments has grown so quickly since the US tribunal that now all the main presidential candidates say they support a rewriting of SOFA.
Moreover, the political atmosphere created by the protests may benefit the ruling Millennium Party candidate Roh Moo-hyun, since it will bring out younger voters who often ignore Korean politics. Mr. Roh, heir of current President Kim Dae Jung, takes a softer line toward North Korea and has been less critical of anti-US troop sentiments.
The protest may also undercut the bounce that main opposition candidate Lee Hoi-chang hopes to gain by North Korea's threat last week to restart its nuclear program and halt international surveillance of sensitive plutonium fuel rods. Mr. Lee is considered to advocate a tougher stance toward the North, and to be more pro-Bush administration.

Mansfield Park
Jane Austen's Mansfield Park has been my lunch read for the last two weeks. I've seen the (1999) film two or three times and enjoyed it immensely, but I've never managed to finish the novel. I like Fanny Price very much, but she is so passive she sometimes makes me want to grind my teeth and throw the book across the room. Probably her passivity annoys me, because I see how necessary it is and how little good fighting might do her. She has no wealth, no beauty, no talent or charm with which to acquire even the limited freedoms open to her cousins.
I know, of course, that she ends up with Edmund rather than the (reformed) rake, Mr. Henry Crawford, but I have difficulty reconciling myself to that "happiness."
Oh, Mr. Henry Crawford! How I wish you had loved Fanny a little bit more! Edmund is a good sort of fellow and will keep Fanny content, I am sure, but I would love to see her pushed to passion.
Who knows? I'm miles from the end yet and everything is still possible. Perhaps Edmund will push her to passionate speech? Speak passionate love, Fanny?!
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (Headline Review, 2006)
02 July 2007
Currently listening to Barbara Kingsolver read her essay collection Small Wonder and (somewhere around the middle of the first disc) she asks:
How much do we need to feel blessed, sated, and permanently safe? What is safety in this world, and on what broad stones is that house built?After discarding a bunch of foolishness, my answer turned out as simple as this: the circle of my husband's arms.

What about a sequel to the film 'City of Life'—but shot in the mountains and on the sea of the United Arab Emirates by the same director, Ali F Mostafa?
Faisal (played by UAE TV personality, Saoud Al Ka'abi) is a 'privileged Emirati' who finds that the snares of Dubai's power, beauty, wealth and ambition lure him away from his religion and traditions. His frustrated father (played by Habib Ghuloom) is saddened by the way his son has humiliated the family and he says in desperation, "Sometimes I feel you are a complete stranger to me."
Towards the end of the film Faisal drives out of the city and, parking his car parallel to the mountains of the UAE, at the base of which is a mosque (pictured), the young Emirati enters into deep reflection.
Some viewers concluded that this, like several other scenes, was melodramatic. A synopsis says about the film: "'City of Life' reveals how unexpected tragedy and loss can lead to hope and profound transformation…"
Perhaps this scene is a turning point but viewers are left hanging and wondering whether genuine transformation does take place.
After a film that centred on the city, this scene suggests a sequel set in the countryside, the desert and the coastland of the Emirates.
Leaving the shiny towers of Dubai Faisal goes on pilgrimage among the massive Hajar Mountains to recover his roots, learn his traditions and acquire a moral compass.
While one of the motifs of 'City of Life' is the Bollywood Café presenting lookalikes to people fixated on appearances, setting a new film among the mountains and along the coasts of the UAE gives ample opportunity to portray authentic Emirati culture.
The answer is not to stay in the mountains and escape the city but how young Emiratis can be upheld by their heritage in a rapidly changing country is a pressing question.
