Alastair Cook, one of English sport's quiet achievers
Alastair Cook was never the most innovative England cricket captain, his batting was designed to soothe rather than stir the blood and his personality was so cautious that it was little wonder he never featured when flashy sports awards were being handed out.Yet after stepping down from the Test captaincy after four and a half years on Monday, there could still be no real argument about Cook, in his own quiet, undemonstrative fashion, having become one of the great achievers of modern English sport.With the minimum of fuss and maximum solidity at a time when he had to deal with plenty of turmoil within the team, Cook moulded himself into an impressive, respected leader while still managing to remain a towering batsman, England's all-time top scorer in Test annals. (Alastair Cook steps down as England Test captain after 4-0 defeat vs India)Not that everyone in England perhaps quite recognised the magnitude of what he was achieving."Alastair Cook is the first Englishman to 10,000 Test runs – but most Poms haven't seen a single one," ran one headline in Australia's Daily Telegraph last year, referring to how his feats tended to remain under the radar since no live cricket is shown on free-to-air television in England.The newspaper had a point. Cook's consistent excellence has often been under-appreciated compared to the box-office razzmatazz of others like Kevin Pietersen, a dazzling talent but one which cast a long shadow over the Essex man's reign.Still, Cook leaves his job, able to look at a fairly remarkable resume that features 24 wins in a record 59 tests in charge, Ashes victories at home in 2013 and 2015 as well as series wins in India and South Africa. (Stats: Alastair Cook England's leading run-scorer, most successful captain in Tests)advertisementThere were jarring setbacks, of course, like the whitewash Ashes defeat in Australia and the 4-0 loss to India over the winter that eventually persuaded him his time was up as captain, yet overall it was hard not to agree with Monday's salute from predecessor Andrew Strauss."He's led the team with determination, conviction and a huge amount of pride and his record stands for itself," said Strauss, now director of England Cricket."He deserves to be seen as one of our country's great captains."The latter assertion is up for debate. Cook's winning percentage of 40.67 at the helm is only the fourth best of the six captains to have led England in more than 40 tests, even though he oversaw an era featuring world-class players from Pietersen, Graeme Swann, James Anderson and Stuart Broad to Ben Stokes and Joe Root.On a personal level, though, he maintained the highest standards, his superb temperament propelling him to become England's most prolific batsman — and the 10th most prolific from any country — with 11,057 runs in 140 tests. (Alastair Cook 'drained' by England captain job, says Andrew Strauss)After taking over as captain in 2012, perhaps his finest achievement were the three centuries he compiled in England's first Test series win in India in 28 years, a feat that looks even more monumental in light of this winter's thrashing.Now, still just 32 and freed from captaincy pressures, Cook could continue to do serious damage to that top-10 Test list while also helping his obvious successor Joe Root ease into the role of captain.It would be no surprise to see Cook go past Ricky Ponting, currently second on the list with 13,378 runs, even if Sachin Tendulkar's world record mark of 15,921 looks insurmountable. (#BringBackKP: Kevin Pietersen tweets after Alastair Cook resigns as England captain)One suspects Root, a rare and brilliant talent, could bring a daring approach to the job that was beyond Cook.Yet now that he can sit back and reflect on a job well done, Cook, England's 'Captain Sensible', should content himself that he led with dignity, toughness, gentlemanly spirit — and lots and lots of runs.

text: Dunkirk Holds Off Emoji Movie, Atomic Blonde at Box Office Christopher Nolan is No. 1 for the second straight week By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Jul 30, 2017 12:35 PM CDT Updated Jul 30, 2017 1:00 PM CDT 2 comments Harry Styles, from left, Aneurin Barnard, and Fionn Whitehead in a scene from "Dunkirk." (Uncredited) (Newser) – Dunkirk has topped the competition once more at the box office, beating newcomers The Emoji Movie and Atomic Blonde, the AP reports. Studio estimates on Sunday say Christopher Nolan's WWII film dropped 44% from its first weekend and brought in $28.1 million to take first place. Right behind was The Emoji Movie, which opened to $25.7 million despite almost comically bad reviews. The ride continues to be smooth for the well-reviewed comedy Girls Trip, which fell a minuscule 36% from its opening weekend and netted an additional $20.1 million to take third place. The Charlize Theron action pic Atomic Blonde debuted in fourth place with $18.6 million. Rounding out the top five was Spider-Man: Homecoming with $13.5 million in its fourth weekend.

This document briefly describes commonly used C-Shell, as implemented on the Unix operating system. Included in this document are an explanation of the on-line system manual utility and descriptions of common commands. See the previous chapter for instructions onlogging on and off the computers. Contact the help desk for additional help getting started. Many of the features and commands described here are common to all UNIX shells, but since the C-shell is the one used primarily in the Math department, we will not distinguish between commands in UNIX, and commands peculiar to the C-shell.
The command line is the interface with C-Shell. C-Shell prompts for commands with a percent sign (%) or the hostname (e.g. eta>) when ready for command input. Commands must be entered in lower case. Extra spaces or tabs are ignored. Follow each command with the <Return> or <Enter> key.
The man (manual) utility displays pages from the system documentation on the terminal. This documentation is useful if you know what utility you want to use but not sure exactly how it works.
If the command is known ahead of time, type
eta> man command
for help on that command. Note that eta> denotes the prompt that whatever machine you are using supplies you - you do not need to type that.
eta> man -k word
will give you a list of utilities related to word. Another way to obtain this information is to type apropos word. You may use the command man man to find out more about the man utility.
A file is a data collection such as a FORTRAN program, or information needed to print a graph. File names have the format: filename[.ext]where filename is a user-supplied name, ext is the extension usually consisting of characters denoting the file type. The file named odesolve.f is FORTRAN source code named odesolve that resides in the current directory.
Files are associated into groups called directories. Each user begins with a single directory, called the home directory, which contains all subsequent files and subdirectories. When you first log on to a UNIX system, the working directory is your home directory. For instance, /usr1/richards is richards' home directory. Subdirectories are created in a tree-like fashion. Set them off from the parent directory by slashes in the directory specification. Thus, /usr1/richards/papers is a subdirectory of the home directory /usr1/richards. Subdirectories help organize related files; for instance, a subdirectory fortran may contain all FORTRAN source code files. To make a subdirectory called papers off the current directory, type:
eta> mkdir papers
If there is no directory specification before the name papers, this indicates that the subdirectory should branch from the working or current directory. To set /usr1/richards/papers as the current directory, type commands:
eta> cd /usr1/richards/papers
or type
eta> cd ~/papers
where the tilde (~) by itself expands into the name of the home directory /usr1/richards.
eta> cd ~jones
changes the current directory into user jones's home directory. Typing cd without any arguments is the equivalent of clicking Dorothy's heels together: it returns you to your home directory regardless of where you are.
To find out what the working directory or current directory you are under, just type:
eta> pwd
which means print working directory.
To list the files and subdirectories contained in the current directory, type the command:
eta> ls
which stands for list. To get a list of files with their creation dates and their sizes, use:
eta> ls -l
The -l is called a flag, and stands for long. In any UNIX system there are a number of files that are usually hidden from your view. To see all files, including hidden files, type ls -a. You may combine flags, so that to see all of the details about all of your files, type ls -al.
To move a file from the current directory to richards' paper directory, type
eta> mv memo.tex /usr1/richards/paper/letter.tex
You may use mv to rename a file within a current directory, or to move it from one to another. Any valid directory specification may be used in front of the file name.
To make a copy of an existing file with the same name, type:
eta> cp odesolver.f fortran
This command could have various results, depending on your directory structure. If you do not have a directory called fortran, this command will create a copy of the file odesolver.f and call it fortran. If you already have a directory called fortran, then a new file called odesolver.f is created in the directory fortran.
The command
eta> cat plusfile >> oldfile
will concatenate the file plusfile to the end of oldfile without affecting plusfile. The command cat plusfile will concatenate plusfile to the standard output. This is an obscure way of saying that cat plusfile will list the contents of the file on the screen.
Files that have outlived their usefulness should be deleted as a matter of good account housekeeping. To remove a file from a directory, type:
eta> rm directory/filename
The rm command will assume the file is on the current directory when no directory is indicated.
Since rm supports the use of filelists (see below),
eta> rm ode*.f
deletes all files of type .f whose names begin with ode. Use care with wildcards. To manage its effect, use the -i option:
eta> rm -i ode*.f, ode*.o
and UNIX will request confirmation before each file deletion.
It is also possible to delete entire directories.
eta> rmdir papers
will delete the directory papers from the current directory if the directory papers is empty. If the directory papers is not empty, but you want to delete it together with all of its contents, then use the rm -r command option:
eta> rm -r papers
Since no quotas on disk space are imposed, please use rm and rmdir often to free disk space for others who may need extra room. This give-and-take management gives great freedom in terms of disk usage and CPU time; please help support our system by employing good file management habits.
To view a text file onscreen, use:
eta> cat filename
If there is too much text to fit on the screen, the excess scrolls off the top. To momentarily stop the output, type <Ctrl-S>. Continue the output by pressing <Ctrl-Q>. Most terminals also offer a <Hold Screen> key. Press the key once to halt output, press again to resume scrolling. For large files, a better solution might be to use
eta> more filename
This will type the file a single screenful at a time, awaiting a space bar between each screen. The editor can also be used to view files (see the chapter Using the UNIX Editor or on-line help).
Do not attempt to view binary files, such as files of type .o or a.out, using the above commands. These files contain symbols that can cause terminals to hang up.
Many commands accept lists of files in their file specifications. For example, to delete two files, instead of issuing the delete command twice, once with each file, issue it once with the two files separated by spaces, as in:
eta> rm prog1.f prog2.f
The C-shell has very powerful features that may be used to create lists of files. The simplest are wildcard characters. Wildcard characters turn a single file specification into a file list by substituting for alphanumeric characters in a filename. The wildcard character * replaces any alphanumeric string, so ode*.f is equivalent to the list of all files (in the current directory) whose filenames begin with the
characters ode, and which have the extension .f. The command
eta> ls ode*.f
might provide output something like:
odesolve.f odeinit.f ode_to_urn.f ode.f
The character ? acts as a wildcard taking the place of a single character. The list designated by ?solve.f would contain rsolve.f, but not odesolve.f, or solve.f.
Another way of creating lists of files is to use logical expressions. For example, if the files paper1.tex, paper2.tex paper3.tex, and paper4.tex reside in the directory papers, and if one wants to list the contents of only the first three, then the command
eta> cat paper[1-3].tex
lists the contents of the first three files. There are many powerful features in the expansion o f logical expressions, which are beyond the scope of this document. Check the man page for csh.
You may print files by typing
eta> lpr filename
You must tell UNIX which printer to send the job to, either by setting an environment variable (see the section below), or by inserting the -P flag. Thus, to have the file myprint.ps print at the printer on the third floor, type
eta> lpr -Phpr3 myprint.ps
There are several printers in the department to which you may send your output, as described in the table below.
Printer Name Description Location hpr0 HP Laserjet IVsi1 Room 101W hpcolor0 HP Laserjet 5 Room 3 lp4 (lp5) HP Laserjet 4000M Newton Lab 101W hpr1 HP Laserjet 4000M 1st floor printer closet hpr2 HP Laserjet 4000M 2nd floor printer closet hpr3 HP Laserjet 4000M 3rd floor printer closet
To check on the status of your print job, use the lpq command. for example, to check on the status of jobs on the color printer, type
eta> lpq -Pcolor
Occasionally, after a job is sent to the printer you will realize that it was a mistake to do so. To delete the job from the queue, first find its job number by using lpq. Next, use lprm to delete it. To delete job number 23 from the color printer queue, type
eta> lprm -Pcolor 23
If you cannot find the job number using lpq, then it is too late to delete it - it is already coming out of the printer.
C-Shell can recall a list of previous commands. Type:
eta> history
to obtain a numbered list of previous commands. To select the nth one, type:
eta> !n
To repeat the last command, type !!. To repeat the command before the last, type !-2. One may also recall commands using the first characters from those commands. To repeat the last command starting with the character v, type !v. To repeat the last command that started with more, type !more.
Every C-Shell command can be abbreviated by using the alias command. After typing
eta> alias h history
eta> alias ll ls -l
h is equivalent to history and ll is equivalent to ls -l.
Another powerful feature of the C-shell is the ability to redirect output. Ordinarily, the output from a given command goes to the screen, but there are various ways to send it elsewhere. If you want the output from a command to go into a file, you may use the > symbol. For example, the command
eta> cat myfile > yourfile
has the same function as cp myfile yourfile. By itself, the command cat myfile would cause the contents of myfile to be listed on the screen. Here the > symbol tells UNIX to write the output (the listing) on a file called yourfile. If yourfile already exists, its contents are destroyed. If it does not exist, it is created.
Frequently you will not want to destroy an existing file, but will want to append the contents of another file on the end of it. For this, the >> symbol is used. The command
eta> cat myfile >> yourfile
appends the contents of myfile to the end of the file yourfile. If yourfile does not exist, it is created. It is also possible to redirect input using the < symbol, but this will not be discussed further here.
Another useful redirection symbol is the pipe ( | ). This tells UNIX to use the output of the command to the left of the | symbol as the input for the command to the right of the | symbol. For example, suppose that the directory papers contains so many files that their names no longer fit on one screen. To view all of the names, pipe the output from the ls command through the more command, as follows.
eta> ls papers | more
Finally, in UNIX you may run jobs in the background. Normally, commands accept input from and send output to the screen. A background job is more or less detached from the screen, so that the screen is free for you to type other commands in. This is equivalent to running a job in batch mode in VMS. You could run a program such as Mosaic in the background while reading your e-mail, for example. One may halt execution of a job at any time, and change its status from foreground to background, or vice versa. The way to halt execution of a job that is running in the foreground is to hold down the <ctrl> key, and press 'Z'. Doing this stops whatever job you are doing at the time. To restart the job in the foreground, type fg and hit the <Enter> key. To restart the job in the background, type bg, and hit the <Enter> key. You may also use fg to bring a background job to the foreground at any time.
One may start a job in the background immediately. To do so, simply type the command to start the program, followed by an ampersand ( & ). For example, to run Mosaic in the background while leaving your screen available for other things, type
eta> mosaic &
To check on the status of background jobs, use the ps (process status) command. To kill a background job, use the kill command (surprisingly transparent nomenclature for UNIX, isn't it?). The following commands check on the process status of a program called myprog, and then kill it (This might occur if it's taking too long to execute - you might think that it is in an infinite loop).
eta> ps
5185 p1 I 0:00 -csh
6120 p1 I 0:59 myprog
6480 p1 R 0:00 ps
eta> kill -9 6120
The only commands entered from the keyboard were the first and last lines. The lines in between are the output from the ps command. The -9 flag on the kill command allows it to kill almost any job. You cannot kill someone elses job. Never kill the csh command, since that represents your current session.
If you try to log out, but the computer won't let you, saying that "there are stopped jobs", all you should have to do is type fg, and then kill the program that is stopped. After that, you should be able to log out. There are a number of other ways to use this feature to advantage.
There are a number of variables associated with your UNIX session that control such things as the location to which your screen output is sent, where your print jobs are sent, the directories that UNIX looks into for commands, and so on. You may set these variables using the setenv and set commands. Some common settings are listed below.
set path = (. /usr/local Tells UNIX to look for commands and /usr/local/bin ) other files in the current directory, the directory /usr/local and the directory /usr/local/bin, in that order. This should all be one line (it just wrapped around here). setenv DISPLAY nll304:0 Tells UNIX to send screen output to the display named nll304:0. Your display name should appear on a sticker on your monitor. If not, contact the helpdesk. setenv PRINTER hpr2 Tells UNIX to send your print jobs to hpr2, unless you specify otherwise.
When you log on, the C-Shell searches the home directory for a file named .cshrc. This file contains C-Shell commands to be executed at every log on, along with informational commands often entered at login time. An example of a .cshrc should demonstrate this more clearly.
source /usr1/examples/login_example
setenv PRINTER hpr0
alias h history
The first command sets the proper path variable, The second line sets the default printer to be hpr0 (in the basement room 3). The third allows you to type h to see your history list. The next prints the date on your screen. The last command shows you who is logged onto the machine currently.
If you don't want to mess with your .cshrc file, you can just type the command "/usr2/Init/fixmypath" from a Unix command line, and your .cshrc file will be set for you.
If you are a faculty member, or a graduate student, and would like to change your password you may do it from most Unix machines. Log onto e.g. thetahat, and
If there isn't a terminal shell prompt located in the panel at the bottom of your Linux screen, you may add it by the following steps:
NOTE: To remove an icon from the panel right click on that icon and when the menu pops up, press delete

One of the issues that candidates often have trouble with on the UFE is ranking issues. Some candidates find they have a good intuition while others struggle trying to understand why one issue is ranked higher than another. Today I'm offering some suggestions of things to consider when you're doing your ranking on your outline.
Specifically Required Info
It should be self evident by now that when someone who you are working for in the case asks for something specifically, this is a priority and must therefore be ranked high enough that you have time to tackle it. If somebody says they need to know how much tax they owe, you'll need to calculate the taxes owing. This is more a required (links to a competency) than issue ranking but I thought I'd mention it.
Survival of the Entity
Survival of the business or person is of course paramount and issues which could impact that survival should be ranked high. If a business does not have enough working capital to survive this year, a discussion surrounding this issue should be had with recommendations that could be taken to assure survival.
Future Viability
Similar to survival above, the future success and viability of the entity usually ranks high.
Impacts on cash and cash flow
Issues which impact cash are usually ranked high because they also related to the survival of the entity and future viability and may impact numerous aspects of the entities health and future success as well as what the owner of the business can pay themselves.
Major/Large Changes Year over Year
Occasionally you'll see large swings in numbers from year to year or new users will exist for the financial information, issues that are important to these new users can often be ranked high so do consider things that are new or large (in quantity) in the current year.
In simulations where a materiality is know, it's important to keep an eye on which amounts are material and rank the material amounts higher than immaterial amounts. Even in simulations where a "materiality" isn't set, look for $ amounts which are high relative to the others, those are generally more important.
Lots of Numbers
When a lot of numbers are provided for a particular issue, it often means they want you to discuss it.
Anytime fraud is an issue it should be discussed.
Pervasive Issues
Issues which are big picture and impact more than one part of the simulation are usually ranked high, these may often lead to the PQs as well. For example, control issues which double charge customers could be a pervasive issues. Double charging customers impacts the accuracy of revenue (PMR), is a control issue because it's not caught (Assurance), impacts customer satisfaction (business survival/risk/gsrm). Think about which issues impact multiple areas of the entity when thinking about control issues.
What other issues or tips do you see in identifying highly ranked issues? Tell us in the comments!

ladies shoes with price:Brooks Transcend Sneak Peek
Alert to Brooks Trance lovers: your shoe is headed off into the sunset. But whatвҖҷs that we see moseying in from the horizon? Why, itвҖҷs none other than the new Transcend, making its way to Running Warehouse in February 2014.
As BrooksвҖҷ premium support shoe, the Trance has been a solid performer for a dozen seasons, but the company has decided to completely re-envision its take on this shoe category, and a brand new name for this brand new shoe sounds right to us.
What to Watch For
No Traditional Post: The Transcend ditches a medial post in favor of вҖңGuide RailsвҖқ on both sides of the shoe that are designed to provide on-demand support right where you need it.
Cushioning at 11: Brooks one-ups its already squishy DNA midsole material with turbocharged вҖңSuper DNAвҖқ that the company says provides 25% more cushioning compared to BioMoGo DNA.
вҖңIdealвҖқ Performance: The Ideal Heel concept from the PureProject line carries over into this shoe to promote вҖңa more natural and easy foot strike,вҖқ according to Brooks. TheyвҖҷve also added in Ideal Pressure Zones that are designed to distribute impact forces evenly throughout the platform.
Plush Upper: As you would expect on a premium shoe, Brooks will use only top-notch materials to pamper your foot and create a luxurious environment.
Lighter Weight: The Transcend is expected to drop a half ounce in the MenвҖҷs model to 12.2 oz according to Brooks. We havenвҖҷt seen a WomenвҖҷs weight but expect a bit of a drop there as well.

|Winsor Dam, Quabbin Park, Sep 12, 2014
|White throated Sparrow (photo through binos with iPhone), Quabbin Park, Sep 12, 2014
The migration conditions looked OK last night but the radar was not super active so I was not really sure what to expect this morning when I headed out. The forecast for today was sunny with winds of 5-8 MPH out of the north...reality this morning was clouds and a sustained 15-20 MPH wind out of the north with temperatures in the low 50's. It felt more like mid October than mid September as I arrived at Winsor Dam before dawn. I had hoped to try to turn up a late whip poor will but the wind was just too strong. I decided to try my luck at Lake Wallace but I was right behind a couple of kayakers driving in so I decided to skip the lake and head back to Quabbin Park instead. The continued strong wind made birding difficult and I didn't find too much that was noteworthy beyond my first of fall White throated Sparrow and a Tennessee Warbler (one of only four warbler species in the park this morning). I also spent some time checking out Winsor Dam again in the distant hope of finding a Northern Wheatear which is a very, very rare migrant through the area (I have only seen one in western mass before...up in Franklin County). The time of year is right and with all the northerly winds (and a bird currently in Ohio) perhaps one will show up around here again?
I came home and picked up Wilson for a mid morning walk along the Jabish Canal. We hoped (or at least I did) to find some hawks migrating but we didn't see any at all.

After lunch I decided to try a walk over at Quabbin Gate 5. Again nothing too extraordinary but ran across a few small groups of birds. At least the temperatures had warmed up by this point so it was more comfortable.
Tonight looks good for migration so I'm hopeful tomorrow morning will be productive...we shall see. I'll be out listening for flight calls and hopefully enjoying some northern lights courtesy of some strong solar activity. I didn't notice anything last night but will be looking for it tonight.
Now to take a look at where I stand in regards to my Hampshire County birds for the year. At this point I'm at 226 which is ten shy of my record from last year and three ahead of last year for the same date. Below is a list of birds I have seen in the past in Hampshire County grouped by likelihood of being found again this year....as you can see many are quite unlikely so making it to the record mark will involve a lot of luck.

From the New York Sun's editorial page:
A better strategy, we suggested, would be to "pursue — or at least explore — a three-state solution." The idea we sketched would be that "at least parts of Gaza are turned over to Egypt" and the Palestinian Arab areas of the West Bank that are not necessary for Israel's security or part of its religious patrimony could be turned over to Jordan. Both Jordan and Egypt, we noted, at least have peace treaties with Israel.
I agree with those who say the Palestinians are not interested in having a state of their own. They subscribe to the PLO belief that if they wait enough, Israel will implode with the forced absorption of the West Bank Arab population. It's not going to happen.
Read the full editorial here: Romney on the Palestinians
Well, that's what I have to say.

Indy - Internet Direct
rlebeau on master
Fix for THANDLE_32 define on OS… (compare)
Since EMBT forums are funky/down again.. .we have put some Delphi as well as Indy forums up to test.. join in!
TIdWebDAV, but no WebDAV server. I'm sure a CalDAV client/server could be made with
TIdHTTPServer, with some manual work
There are Indy forums over here too on the linked web forums.
multipart/related... And figured out that
TIdMessageClient.SendBody() goes into an endless loop if the message parts aren't created in the correct order. I create every part with
new TIdText(pMessage->MessageParts, NULL) and set the correct
ParentPartid. Is there a way to reorder them based on the
ParentPart id?
SendBody() get stuck in an infinite loop before. Can you provide an example that causes this?
TIdText *t = new TIdText(pMessage->MessageParts, NULL);
t->ContentType = "text/plain";
t->Body->Text = "Test";
TIdText *h = new TIdText(pMessage->MessageParts, NULL);
h->ContentType = "text/html";
h->Body->Text = "Test";
TIdText *a = new TIdText(pMessage->MessageParts, NULL);
a->ContentType = "multipart/alternative";
a->ParentPart = -1;
t->ParentPart = a->Index;
h->ParentPart = a->Index;
text/plain content no message part is needed. If HTML is added, the
text/plain is converted and both parts are appended to the
alternative part. Same with
related if a graphic is added earlier or later.
ParentPart to the previous "multipart/alternative" part. In short,
ParentPart should always refer to an earlier part, never to a later part. If you want to convert an email from one layout to another, you basically need to start fresh with a new message and make sure you add parts to it in the correct order, copying data from old parts to new parts as needed. This will be much easier once IndySockets/Indy#139 is implemented, as you will be able to just move parts around from one collection to another. But for now, you have to do thing manually to make it work correctly. I suppose a possible workaround would be to update
TIdMessage to scan the
MessageParts for items with
ParentPart=-1, then rescan for
=1, etc. But that is a lot more work, especially for how it currently tracks and pops used MIME boundaries. Easier to just make sure the parts in the right order to begin with

Book 8: Ramona's World
First published in 1999, illustrated by Alan Tiegreen
192 pages, 11 chapters, (New York: Scholastic)
Fourth grade brings a lot of firsts into Ramona's life--her first best friend, her first crush. The trial of her nine almost ten year old life is spelling. As with all situations, Ramona perseveres with enthusiasm.
What I thought: A lovely end to the Ramona series. I really didn't want the series to end, but I'll talk more about that next week. Some much to like in this book: best friends, crushes, a baby sister, class pictures, and parties. I didn't have a true best friend experience until I was in middle school, so I envy Ramona's luck in finding Daisy Kidd so soon. Ramona's relationship with Danny (aka Yard Ape) is great. They are friends with the possibility of something more in later years.
I still can't believe that after reading all eight books in the series, I don't know when Ramona's birthday is. Why don't I know? Because Beverly Cleary didn't tell us. They start planning Ramona's party in late May or early June, so that's as close as I can some to the date of her birthday. I love the concept of "zeroteen." If I ever have a Ramona program at the library, I will definitely be calling it a "Zeroteen Party." I can empathize with Ramona's rotten school picture. I've had one of those myself in the sixth grade. Now, I look back on it and laugh.
Favorite Quotes:
"She closed the book. She liked her own writing better. That wasn't all she liked. She liked Mrs. Meacham, she liked Daisy, she liked Yard Ape, she liked fourth grade. It was going to be a great year" (22).
"Stuff was a perfectly good, handy, multipurpose word and easy to spell, too" (28).
"... their mother had read a book that said babies should be read to as soon as they were born so they would grow up to be good readers. Ramona wasn't quite sure how this would work, but she enjoyed the rhymes and read with expression and dramatic gestures" (62).
"She was thinking about Beezus growing up and about what it would be like to grow up herself. She felt like the way she felt when she was reading a good book. She wanted to know what would happen next" (69).
" 'If she can't spell, why is she a librarian? Librarians should know how to spell' " (109).
Favorite Illustration: Ramona and Roberta sticking their tongues out at each other (37)
Activities from Ramona's World:
Dress up
Hanging out with your best friend
Baby/cat sitting
Vacuuming the cat
Knitting/crocheting hats
Parties (valentine's Day, birthday "zeroteen")
Ramona and Beezus the movie premieres next Friday, July 23. I'm looking forward to it. Next week, I'll wrap up my Reading Ramona Project with a look back at my posts. We'll find out more about Ramona from the author herself (My Own Two Feet) and I'll share my thoughts on the new illustrations by Tracy Dockray.

That's when the Mitsubishi Diamond series of rear-projection TVs caught my eye. This was on the recommendation of some friends in the consumer electronics industry. I bring this point up because I want to make the distinction that I have always disliked RPTVs. As I saw it, they've always sacrificed too much picture quality for size advantages. On the recommendation, though, I gave the Diamond sets a look -- in particular, the Mitsubishi 65" Diamond (65813). The set's performance changed my tune, both from a videogamer's perspective and as a DVD enthusiast.
Features Overview
- 65" Widescreen Display
- Inputs: 3 Component (480i/480p/1080i), 3 S-Video/Composite, DVI, and VGA (640x480, 60Hz)
- Anti-Glare Diamond Shield (Removeable)
- Three 9" CRTs
- Formatting Options: Narrow, Standard, Stretch, StretchPlus, Expand, Zoom
- Exclusive Technology: AMVP, TruFocus Lenses, Perfect Color, QuadField Focus, DefinEdge VSM, Auto Film Mode, 64-Point Convergence, and more
- Integrated HD Tuner
- NetCommand and MediaCommand
- Remote Control Included (Backlit)
- 2' 4" Deep, 251 lbs.
- Retail Price: $3500-$4000
The 65813 is considered one of Mitsubishi's best sets. You might wonder: in a world full of the latest plasma and DLP-based TVs, how can CRT technology still compare? Quite simply, it's one of the most refined TV technologies out there. So, with the Diamond 65813, you get very rich color benefits and black detail, which are especially great for DVD watching and HD programming. However, the Diamond also excels in the videogame world, largely thanks to its three, incredibly bright 9" CRTs. The 55" model only has 7" CRTs, so you definitely see a benefit with the 65" set.
When I unpacked the Diamond out of the box, I was skeptical about how bright it might be. I hooked it up and threw titles like Resident Evil (GCN) and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (Xbox), which are notoriously dark. I was surprised and relieved to see that, not only were these titles visible, they looked vivid on the 65" screen.
However, there were convergence problems. This separation between blue and red causes focus problems and other clarity issues. Thankfully, the 65813 comes with a 64-point convergence adjustment interface. This may sound like unimportant jargon if you're not familiar, but essentially this is a pretty intuitive grid of white lines that lets you tune your TV's convergence without the help of a trained technician. Unlike many other convergence tools in other branded TVs, Mitsubishi's really let's you adjust every last point accurately. After spending 20-minutes or so (it does take some patience, but it's worth it!) lining everything up, I was relieved to see that the relatively blurry right-side of the screen had returned a state of normal clarity. This problem is pretty standard for any TV of its size; moving the huge set around, shipping it, and the Earth's gravitational pull will affect the convergence. The fact that I could fix these problems myself in about 20-minutes (and know that I can adjust for perfection in the future) is a fantastic benefit.
Then I popped in one of my favorites, the 480p-capable Metroid Prime. This reminded me of my dislike for non-widescreen format content. Not that it's the TV's problem. But, as a natively widescreen cabinet, there are issues to consider. You can use several built-in format options when something isn't true widescreen. "Stretch" mode is the best bet -- it mathematically makes the center of the screen as close to 4:3 as it can, while it lets the outside stretch and distort more. For a first-person perspective game like Prime, you get some noticeable warping on the edges. If that bothers you, then you just play it in 4:3 Narrow mode, right? Maybe not. The 65813 features gray bars for 4:3 cropping, so you get a rather distracting display on the left and right of the picture. This is not a mistake by Mitsubishi necessarily, as it ensures the screen is used evenly even with 4:3 mode, but it's extremely distracting. Your best solution is to find something like nice black, velvet flaps you can roll over these areas of the screen if they're too distracting. Stretch mode, however, is something I've even gotten used to in my wait for more standardized widescreen content (which will likely come in a large wave with high-definition DVD future-generation consoles). In fact, for some content it works pretty well to make it faux widescreen.
Back to the picture quality, it looked excellent via standard progressive scan. And, thankfully, all of the Mitsubishi 65813's component inputs can accept 480i, 480p, and 1080i. Some sets out there that are "HD" only accept 480p and 1080i in the component input, which simply does not work for video gaming needs because you can't see anything -- like the 480i menus -- before it's in progressive scan. Unfortunately, one major downside of the 65813 is that it does not accept 720p via the component inputs. It is, one of the only standout, negative points. Granted there are not a lot of 720p games out there right now, but there are a few handfuls and the future may bring more.
Progressive scan or not, though, the 65813 produces a tight picture, even for 640x480 native content. The AMVP, the brain of the display, multiplies the pixels, filters them, and produces a cleaner, smoother picture. When you have a 65" screen, it's important to still know that regular non-progressive or HD content is still going to look great. The 65813 holds up. Too many low-cost HDTVs skimp on benefits like these, or simply lack the performance, which is often an unwelcome surprise for people who bought a TV in the store that was only displaying HD content.
That said, watching DVDs -- which are not high-definition yet -- is an absolute treat on the 65813. I began with Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (I skipped on the use of "Expand" mode, which would otherwise rid the screen of the small 16:9 letterbox effects for purity's sake). As Gandalf began his dark, fiery descent into the depths below Khazadum in the epic battle with the balrog, I was quite impressed with 65813's ability to display the quick motion with accuracy. However, adjustments needed to be made from my videogame color settings.
The 65813 comes with several key adjustment features that really benefit it. The Color Temperature can be set to 6500k (warm), Normal (neutral-to-warm), and High (cooler). 6500k is perfect for movie-watching and helps deepen the black level. Additionally, its Black Enhancement works fantastically without eating away important gray and brown detail. However, the image needed to be more contrasted; I brought down brightness and contrast to THX standards, as the sets are usually preset to be ready for bright showroom floors. This helped greatly, but the picture was fuzzier than I prefer. This is where DefineEdge VSM came in handy. This "filter" actually constantly examines the picture sharpness and adjusts the scan modulation for cleaner edges and color transitions. It's actually several functions wrapped in to one, and you can immediately see its benefits; shadows are almost magnetically tightened and blurry edges are hardened. It's a must-use, as far as I'm concerned for a picture this big, but this sharpness increase does introduce some more picture noise. By setting the "Video Noise" to "Reduction" it offset the sharpness by just enough to maintain that soft, cinematic tone I was looking for. Having a quality, progressive scan DVD player is an important part of getting the right picture, as well.
Satisfied, I went on to enjoy the wonders of Perfect Color, a tool for enthusiasts that allows you to go beyond tint, adjusting magenta, yellow, green, cyan, blue, or red separately. Its effects are subtle, as they should be, but you can really set a screen character that suits you best. Again, like 64-point convergence, it's another pro feature opened up to the consumer. If you're not into this manual setup, Perfect Color also provides an automatic mode that attempts to sense the best color settings. I prefer to not let my color settings wander on me, however.
After spending some considerable time on this I watched some of my favorite scenes in Two Towers. All of them looked exceptional. The chapter that focuses on the expelling Saruman out of King Theoden has some very dark, almost black-green scenes with Grima Wormtongue (as well as whites with Gandalf the White's de-cloaking). It was indeed apparent that the 65813 didn't have the deeper blacks like some direct view CRTs, but it wasn't off by a drastic amount. The Two Towers is a very color-rich and strikingly shot movie; I was very pleased at the overall color performance and theater-style visuals the Diamond delivered.
I eventually moved on to Toy Story 2 and was also impressed, although I definitely noticed the colors didn't pop quite as much as my direct view CRT. Like the black levels, though, they were not terribly far off -- a feat for a TV so large. Finally, I settled on watching Touching the Void entirely through, a mountain-climbing documentary based on one of the most harrowing true stories ever. This was filled with plenty of bright whites, of course, being set in the snow and I nearly had to don a pair of sunglasses. This contrasted display of blue skies, bold-colored hiking gear, and sparkling white snow really showed off the 65813's powerful phosphor CRTs and TruFocus lenses.
In short, if you stick the Mitsubishi Diamond 65813 in a dark room with a sweet sound setup (ours is powered by our Denon 3805 for 7.1 surround), you're going to enjoy a very cinematic experience thanks to the larger screen. Even better news, 65813's powerful feature set ensures you get one of the best pictures in its size class. In addition to this, if you receive HD programming or play 1080i games, the display is something to behold. If everything ran at 1080i, you'd have very few reasons not to own this set.
The Breakdown
There's a lot that can be said about the 65813. From watching television to DVDs to videogaming, the performance varies. So, in the following, you'll find a more succinct list of advantages and disadvantages.
Buying a TV is like buying a car; you have to decide what you want and at what cost. What's practical? What sacrifices matter least to you? What benefits are most important to you? These are the kinds of questions you have to ask yourself.
The 65813 is all about size, price, and performance, three things that traditionally do not go together well. But, Mitsubishi makes it happen. The newer model, the 65815, retails for around $5000, but you can find the 65813 which is nearly every bit as good for $3500-$4000. This, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the best performing TVs in its size class for the price. Plasmas, DLPs, and LCDs in this price range -- even at smaller set sizes -- do not have some of the color purity benefits, black levels, or motion accuracy of the 65813. You can get a 34" direct view Sony Wega XBR, which is one of the most absolutely beautiful pictures as far as I'm concerned, but it's also half the size.
You have to choose your battles. If the 65813's features match your tastes, it is a warrior worth having on your side.
Highly recommended, especially for its value.

Just received the new A80 in the UK, gotta say it's quite different listening to callers with the audio seemingly coming through the screen ! I don't see any visible earpeice speaker which is used for hearing a call, plus it advises where to put your ear on the screen when you first make a call.
The sound seems distant? Anyone else feel the same? Or hear the same?
I have had similar issues. Is there I need to change in the settings.
have you got any solution for in call listening sound issue? i have same problem with A80.

The County Clerk as the clerk of the Supreme Court used to be the only place where legal documents can be retrieved as per mandate of the laws in New York. Today, they have initiated the localization of St. Lawrence County marriage records so that the town, city, or village residents have closes access to the said marital reports. Thus, it would be much easier for them to retrieve and use such files for a variety of reasons. But, they must be an eligible requestor before they can actually possess the documents which they needed to obtain for whatever purposes they may serve.
So today, the locals can go directly to the respective town clerks where searches can be performed. The forms are reproduced by the staff for the requestors' use. Requesting party just have to drop by at the office to procure a copy of the form or better yet print it online via the clerk's official website. Town clerks now have webpages where forms are uploaded for the public to easily print copies of them. The form contains all the necessary details about the subject and the requestor; thus, it has to be filled out completely in order for the staff to execute the search on marriage records St. Lawrence County immediately.

Safety, Well-being and Risk: Benefit Management
AALA and LOtC
Mere Mountains has an AALA licence for delivering an extensive range of outdoor and adventurous activities to young people please see (www.aala.com) for full details of our licence. In 2014 we gained the LOtC Badge which includes the Adventure Mark Badge. We believe staff competence, experience and judgement are crucial to delivering a good outdoor education or adventure programme. For details of staff qualifications please see the 'Our Team' page or email for more information.
After 20 years of delivering adventure and education courses we are familiar with most of the situations that can occur and this is reflected in our risk: benefit management strategy. We believe that growing up and learning to live in the real world involves learning to manage normal risks; so if the educational benefits for the young people outweigh any risks, and the activity is appropriate for the age group and the education aims we will seek to facilitate the activity. We expect to work in partnership with visiting staff and pupils to ensure that any programme or residential is well thought out and as safe as is appropriate for the course aims and that parents, pupils and teachers have the necessary understanding to support the involvement of the young people in the activities. Year 11 pupils on a GCSE programme would expect to be managing more of the risks themselves than Yr. 3 on their first forest school fire lighting session!
Mere Mountains aim to cover and support all the technical aspects of the course, on the whole we will leave pastoral care of the children to the visiting staff, especially with younger (primary) children. For older students our tutors will facilitate group discussion and reviews if required. All staff are experienced first aiders and are able to supply first aid in the field if needed, while we have no objection to visiting teachers providing first aid for minor injuries as it allows the session to continue.
We hold Public Liability and Employers Liability insurance with the Activities Industry Mutual. A copy of these are available on request
Risk Assessments
Obviously we have assessed the risks for the activities we deliver, and our staff are constantly reviewing these in the field to ensure that the level of risk matches the learning outcomes identified and the appropriate level of safety for these. For example, children may go off in small groups orienteering or help with belaying safety ropes for rock climbing. Responsibility for oneself and others is an important aspect of growing up and outdoor education provides real situations which are ideal for developing self-confidence and self-respect.
Our written risk assessments are designed for use by qualified instructors and are largely meaningless to others, we would therefore discourage the use of our risk assessments by unqualified persons. We are happy to provide copies on request should you have a technical expert capable of interpreting them. For school visit leader risk assessment forms we recommend that you list the activities included in your programme and put 'AALA Licenced /LOtC Badge provider used' in the control measure.
Child Protection/Client Wellbeing
We have a strong commitment to the wellbeing of all our clients, child or adult we see this as going beyond simple 'child protection' as anyone can feel vulnerable in unfamiliar environments and adventurous situations. We ask that any concern is brought to us immediately, initially to the staff onsite or to the Principal Tutors. Sometimes the need for increased safety management s means that tutors have to become authority figures rather than just facilitators but on the whole our leadership role is to encourage participation rather than force it.
We do not expect tutors to do the 'in loco parentis' supervision of young people eg to supervise changing, but leave this to the visiting staff who pupils know well. The nature of the activities mean that we are working with groups rather than individuals, and although all our staff have been CBS/DBS checked we do not expect to be left with unaccompanied minors. If we are required to provide first aid we will always seek to have a teacher present if possible.
We provide inservice training for your staff to run activites and lower your costs
We provide full accomodation, activity and transport packages. Making us a one stop shop and your life easier

(Crain's) — The owner of a St. Charles shopping center faces a $24.8-million foreclosure suit after losing some key tenants.
Loan servicer CWCapital Asset Management LLC sued a venture controlled by Chicago-based Covington Realty Partners that owns Main Street Commons, a 171,648-square-foot shopping center at the corner of Main Street and Kirk Road in the western suburb.
The venture has missed its payments on the interest-only loan each month since March, according to a report from Bloomberg L.P. Main Street Commons generated about $1.6 million in net operating income in 2010, barely enough to cover its $1.5 million in annual service payments, according to the report.
Related story: Loan woes hit suburban shopping center
A Covington executive did not return a message.
Main Street Commons was 76% leased in 2010, down from 93% in 2007. The shopping center lost Borders Books & Music, which vacated a 24,893-square-foot space, 15% of the shopping center's gross leasable area, in April after parent company Borders Group Inc. declared for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The shopping center also lost other tenants: Restaurant Billy's Roadhouse and dentist Paul Maco filed for bankruptcy protection, and Suntan Inc. moved out.
Covington bought the property in 2006 for $32 million, financing the purchase with a $24-million mortgage from Wachovia Bank N.A. The mortgage was later packaged and sold as part of a commercial mortgage-backed securities offering.
Needham, Mass.-based CWCapital services the loan for investors that own bonds backed by the Main Street Commons mortgage and others. A CWCapital executive did not return a phone call.

The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA) today released Hotel Industry Principles as part of the industry's long-standing effort to raise awareness of human trafficking and provide hotel operators tools and resources to educate employees on identifying and reporting these crimes. The release of these principles comes on the heels of Senate passage of legislation (S. 178) to help victims of sex trafficking and crack down on perpetrators of this heinous crime.
"As an industry, we recognize that hotels can play an important role in fighting trafficking networks which often rely on legitimate businesses, including hotels, to sustain their illegal operations and infrastructure. With the input of a broad cross-section of the industry, we have developed a set of principles that we believe can help raise awareness, and in turn equip and empower employees to respond and do our part to stop human trafficking," said Katherine Lugar, president and CEO of the American Hotel and Lodging Association.
"Further, Senate passage of this bill to fight human trafficking is the result of bipartisanship and often difficult negotiations, and we applaud the Senate for their leadership on this issue, and welcome them as partners in the effort to stop these terrible crimes."
Specifically, AH&LA encourages every hotel company and property to:
- Educate employees to recognize and report instances of trafficking when perpetrated or attempted in or around hotel properties;
- Establish policies and procedures for reporting of instances or suspected instances of trafficking;
- Encourage other companies and parties in the hotel industry to join the fight against trafficking, and collaborate with those companies that have already done so;
- Encourage business partners in the broader travel industry and beyond to educate their employees and take other necessary steps to combat trafficking; and
- Work collaboratively with law enforcement and policymakers so that industry and government initiatives can be appropriately and efficiently integrated into a society-wide effort to combat trafficking.
In addition, AH&LA and its affiliates, the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Foundation (AHLEF) and Educational Institute (AHLEI), conduct ongoing education and training efforts to provide hotel employees with tools and resources to understand how these criminals operate on a hotel and help spot the victims and apprehend the criminals. AH&LA, AHLEF and AHLEI funded and developed an online training program in partnership with End Child Prostitution Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT USA), https://www.ahlei.org/demos/ecpat/index.html. The training program is available for sale to AHLA members and non-members, and 50% of the proceeds go to ECPAT USA to further their efforts.
Serving the hospitality industry for more than a century, the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA) is the sole national association representing all segments of the 1.8 million-employee U.S. lodging industry, including hotel owners, REITs, chains, franchisees, management companies, independent properties, state hotel associations, and industry suppliers. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., AH&LA provides focused advocacy, communications support, and educational resources for an industry generating $155.5 billion in annual sales from 4.9 million guestrooms.

text: The life of movie empire-builder Samuel Goldwyn, retold expertly by Berg, American Book Award-winner for Max Perkins (1978). Essentially unauthorized, this is nonetheless the authorized version in that Berg was asked by Samuel Goldwyn, Jr., to write the book and had access to all the family's papers; the family, however, exercised no control over Berg's writing or opinions. In some ways this hardly matters: Goldwyn's was not a sleazy life, like Zanuck's or Cohn's, and Berg is very spare in his opinions and as clear in style as a windowpane. Goldwyn's worst faults were his tries at cheating people out of money--such as deceiving director William Wyler out of his just profits from The Best Years of Our Lives--and being a scourge as producer. His love life was not impressive, aside from chasing Mabel Normand and a few other stars between his two rather loveless marriages; he was a humanitarian but sparked little romance in the ladies. Born Schmuel Gelbfisz in Warsaw, Goldwyn left his widowed mother and large family behind when he embarked for London in 1875 at 17 years of age. In America, he entered the glove business as Samuel Goldfish, was a great success, but was bowled over by a Broncho Billy movie he saw and instantly decided to go into movies. He teamed up briefly with his first wife's brother, Jesse Lasky, to get their own production company underway, then through a process of mergers and departures (leaving only his name behind as part of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer corporation) set himself up as a loner-independent whose guiding motto was quality over quantity. Berg follows the production difficulties behind Goldwyn's more famous films--Wuthering Heights, Best Years of Our Lives, The Little Foxes (which Goldwyn called The Three Little Foxes to Lillian Hellman's face) and, at some length, Porgy and Bess. Given to crying jags, the producer could always pull himself out of one by saying to himself, "I've still got Goldwyn." Fabulous subject, hypnotic momentum. Berg's clear style works wonders at brushing away jumble and keeping the flow, where other recent accounts of empire builders have sunk under corporate and financial detail.

The Indian pharmaceutical market will continue to grow in the double digits, representing a better growth opportunity than many other geographic markets, Moody's Investors Service says.
However, drug companies in the country could face higher debt levels as the pharmaceutical sector grows, resulting in mergers and acquisitions, it said.
"As consolidation in the industry continues globally, particularly among generic drug companies, Indian firms will increasingly look to become involved in global mergers and acquisitions. We have already seen some Indian companies increasing their pace of acquisitions," Moody's senior vice president Michael Levesque said in a report here.
"Even if India's GDP growth slows or is uneven, the Indian pharmaceutical market would still represent a better growth opportunity than many other geographic markets, because of improving socioeconomic conditions and access to health care, against the backdrop of a rising prevalence of diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems," Moody's vice president and senior analyst Kailash Chhaya said.
While Indian firms do not face the same growth pressures as other players across the industry, they could become involved in global merger and acquisition activities; thereby pressuring their leverage from currently low levels.
However, for most Indian companies, debt headroom is large as balance sheets are generally lowly leveraged.
Moody's report acknowledges that as a general rule, key Indian players have maintained low financial leverage and demonstrated their aversion to risk, due to their unique structures — when compared with global pharmaceutical firms — of high ownership levels by founding family members, known as promoters.
