1 November 2012 - The Ministry of Health (MoH) in Mauritania declared an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) on 4 October 2012. From 16 September 2012 (the date of onset of the index case) to 30 October 2012, a total of 34 cases, including 17 deaths have been reported from 6 regions. The last case was notified on the 27 October 2012 from Magta Lahjar in the Brakna region. The 6 regions include Assaba, Brakna, Hodh Chargui, Hodh Gharbi, Tagant and Trarza. All the cases had history of contact with animals.
In humans, 25 samples tested positive by ELISA and PCR at the National Reference Laboratory of the National Institute of Public Health Research (INRS) in Nouakchott and at the Institut Pasteur in Dakar. In the animal population, analysis conducted by the National Veterinary Research Laboratory shows virus circulation in several regions of the country.
A multi-sector task force has been jointly established by the MOH and the Ministry of Rural Development to respond to this outbreak. WHO and partners, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), are working within the task force to strengthen epidemiological surveillance in both human and animal health, strengthen capacity in case management at health care facilities, strengthen health measures in slaughterhouses, and raise awareness among farmers.
A multi-sector investigation team has been deployed to conduct a detailed outbreak investigation among humans and animals in the affected areas. An international team of experts will be deployed to provide technical assistance from 3 to 10 November 2012.
Mauritania experienced an outbreak of RVF in 2010.
With regard to this outbreak, WHO does not recommend any travel or trade restrictions be applied.With best regards,

Izamar and Mariza Mandujano, seniors at West Ottawa High School who are participants in the Hope College TRIO Upward Bound program, both had poster designs chosen for use in a national effort to prevent dating violence.
The Greenfield, Wis.-based Date Safe Project Inc. had provided students involved in the Holland-area TPDV (Teens Preventing Dating Violence) program the opportunity to submit message ideas for Date Safe's poster series in April of this year. The posters based on the twin sisters' concepts are now among the 17 designs that the project makes available as part of its suite of resources.
The sisters developed the posters' slogans, with the Date Safe Project Inc. rendering the ideas into graphic form, illustrated with photographs of teens. Izamar's slogan reads "Pressure + Control + WRONG / Respect + Friendship = LOVE / How's your math?" Mariza's slogan reads "2B or not 2B brave enough to speak out against dating violence."
The sisters have participated in Hope College TRIO Upward Bound since their freshman year in high school. They have been participants in TPDV since the program began in 2009 as a collaborative effort of Hope College TRIO Upward Bound and DELTA Project of Ottawa County.
DELTA (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances) Project is a primary prevention program of Center for Women in Transition and Lakeshore Alliance Against Domestic and Sexual Violence and dedicated to working with teens and adults to prevent dating violence and domestic violence. DELTA Project and Hope's Upward Bound program began collaborating in the winter of 2009, with DELTA Project coordinator Lesley Coghill leading a six-week Teens Preventing Dating Violence for 18 of the Upward Bound students that summer. Many of the students chose to continue the program by participating in a year-round group, which they named TPDV.
"I am excited that Izamar and Mariza's ideas were selected for the poster campaign. They, along with several other Upward Bound students, have been actively working within TPDV to spread the word about dating violence prevention," said Elizabeth Colburn, director of Hope College TRIO Upward Bound. "The collaboration with the Delta Project, along with Lesley's strong leadership, has given the Upward Bound students a voice and an opportunity to learn and grow through their involvement in TPDV."
Hope College Upward Bound, which began in 1968, is funded through the TRIO program of the U.S. Department of Education. The Hope Upward Bound program serves 80 high school students from the Holland, West Ottawa and Fennville school districts during both the school year (afternoons and some weekends) and the summer. The program seeks to generate the skills and motivation necessary for success in education beyond high school from among students from low-income and first-generation families who have the potential to pursue a college education but may lack adequate preparation or support. The goal of the program is to increase the academic performance and motivational levels of eligible students so that they may complete secondary schooling and successfully pursue post-secondary educational programs.

Egyptian theatre troupe El Warsha will perform their play Zawaya (Angles) at the Hakaya theatre festival in Jordan, on 10 September.
The festival, which runs from 8-12 September in Amman, is part of a wider, pan-Mediterranean project, which focuses on the role of storytelling in Arab culture. It will feature plays, storytelling performances and films.
Hakaya aims to act as a platform for storytelling in life, education, and the arts: linking organisations throughout the Arab world who share the belief that stories are essential to regional cultural development. The director of Zawaya, Hassan el Geretly, has been involved with the Hakaya project since its inception in 2007. The inaugural meeting, organised by the Jordan-based Arab Education Forum, resulted in a two year project including several conferences on the subject of storytelling, the publishing of anthologies of local stories, as well as leading to the production of Zawaya by el Warsha.
"In the Arab world storytelling is very much alive" said el Geretly, explaining the impetus behind the ongoing project, of which September's festival is the latest manifestation. "It underpins the whole of Arab culture". Even cultural organisations in Egypt who are more inclined towards contemporary arts are still affected by the tradition of storytelling, he argued. "Storytelling is present through the voice contained in a lot of Arab literature… present in the depths of Arab artistic expression".
Zawaya premiered in Cairo in November 2012, and has since been performed a number of times, both in Cairo and elsewhere, including Alexandria and Minya. There are plans to tour the play in France in 2014.
The play presents five narratives of the 25 January Revolution from radically different perspectives, including the mother of a martyr, a paid thug and an army officer. The stories were largely written by Shadi Atef and the play also features original songs about the revolution.
Although the inception of the project dates to before 2011, el Geretly said he saw the continued success of the Hakaya project as being directly related to the Arab Spring. "Despite the difficulties of pan-Arabism, one factor that brings everyone together is the language and the culture that goes with it is very important", he explained. "Since the Arab Spring the interest of each different Arab country in the others is very clear. There is a revival of popular interest in each other and each other's countries."

Spring breakers (?) and casino resort patrons alike are no doubt saddened by the recent falling out between Vince Neil and The Palms. As some of you may know, Matador has conducted business with the latter on one notable occasion, and we can vouch for the establishment's very high standards (the sole exception being an unfortunate Vince Neil sighting by the pool).
All of that said, it would be a very sad day for Las Vegas if colorful characters like Vince Neil found themselves ostracized, simply because they occasionally throw a shit-fit in public (and proceed to tweet about it leaving out all of the relevant details).

We have a few Z8 owners who also have a Ford GT in their garage. With that said, anyone else excited about the new 2017 Ford GT shown this week at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show? Based on its appearance alone I want one!
With its V8 including a rev happy flat-plane crankshaft and track purpose build, I also like the 2016 Shelby GT350 planned for release later this year. Who knew that Ford had intentions and capabilities to produce such cars.

PASADENA >> Not only is David Thorpe gay, but he also sounds gay.
This fact so consumed the 45-year-old Brooklyn resident that he spent his past three years talking to more than a hundred people in four countries about sounding gay. He talked to linguists, voice coaches, strangers and historians. He even interviewed lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender icons such as Margaret Cho, Tim Gunn and David Sedaris.
And he documented all of it on film. But in order to finish his first documentary, "Do I sound gay?", Thorpe needs to reach his Kickstarter goal of $115,000.
"I was able to kind of I think address my own internalized homophobia, but I want a finished movie so I could share that journey," said Thorpe, who came out 26 years ago. "We want to take the stigma out of the idea that something that sounds gay is bad. That phrase 'that sounds gay' or 'he sounds gay' is an old slur that we've all heard on the schoolyard, and we want to re-appropriate that as a slogan of pride."
Benjamin Munson, a speech-language-hearing sciences professor at the University of Minnesota, said science doesn't support the existence of "a gay voice," but he said people stereotypically think gay men speak with a lisp and have higher-pitched voices.
Thorpe's 30-day Kickstarter campaign ends on May 30. If he meets his fundraising goal, the money will go to post-production, including editing; music supervision, licensing and original scoring; and color correction.
Thorpe interviewed big names for his documentary. Tim Gunn, a renown fashion consultant on "Project Runway," said he's used to hearing his TV voice now, but when he first heard it, he had a "rude awakening."
David Sedaris gave a zinger before letting his guard down.
"I don't think I sound like a woman. I think I sound like a very small man," Sedaris said. "Sometimes somebody will say, 'I didn't know you were gay.' Why does that make me feel good? I thought I was beyond that. What's the problem if somebody assumes that I'm gay when I open my mouth?"
The idea of the gay voice goes back to the early 18th century, Thorpe said. He found tabloid newspapers that mocked gay men for sounding effeminate. Classified ads for women seeking men said they didn't want one who sounded like a woman, Thorpe said.
Munson said in the last decade about a dozen gay men have asked him to help them get rid of their gay voice. None of those requests came in the last four years, he said. Munson told each of them the same thing.
"There is a difference between sounding gay and a disorder. Speech pathologists specialize in working with disorders. Sounding gay is not a disorder."
In fact, Munson said the "gay lisp" doesn't exist. A true frontal lisp happens when people say "sink" when they want to say "think," and a lateral lisp is what Sid the sloth in "Ice Age" has. The perceived lisp is actually an overcorrection of "s" sounds, and this makes speech objectively more clear, he said.
"The stereotypes about gay men speech follows the stereotypes of why gay men are gay in the first place," Munson said. "So if somebody believes gay men are gay because they are more like a woman, then it follows that they think gay men might sound like a woman. Someone else who thinks they are gay because they are stuck in a childhood state of sexual development might develop a stereotype that gay men should sound like children."
Joseph Rene, a gay man who lives in Pasadena, said he has been bullied and called slurs because people noticed his speech patterns. A photographer who took his head shot in the early '90s told him he would have to change his voice if he wanted to work in the entertainment industry. The laugh is on her, he said.
"My voice has kept me gainfully employed as a professional emcee and (trade show) host," Rene said. "I've used my voice to speak up for people who don't have a voice and need one. I've used it to my advantage, but I've never thought of it as gay because how can you identify a gay voice from a straight voice?"
Thorpe said he hopes everyone will be able to relate to his documentary, which will premier in the fall if his Kickstarter campaign is successful.
"Everybody has something about themselves that doesn't conform to the mainstream ideal and hopefully non-gay as well as gay individuals can identify."

A very fine yarn is created from recycled plastic bottles and then hand woven by skilled artisans to create these wonderful rugs. Indistinguishable from wool in look and feel, yet you can just hose them down to clean. They are also waterproof, mould and moth resistant, and very hard wearing.
To ensure safety and prevent slipping, we recommend you use an underlay with all rugs, regardless of the type of flooring they are used on.
All hand weaving partners are independently inspected and endorsed by Good Weave and are committed to the welfare and fair employment conditions of the craftsmen and women.
As with all hand made textiles, small variations in colour and size may occur.
Regular vacuuming and the occasional gentle shake should keep your rug in shipshape condition. If further cleaning is required, wash by hand with a gentle detergent and allow to air dry naturally. Smaller rugs can be machine washed at 30 degrees, using a non – biological washing powder. Do not tumble dry
If your chosen rug is in stock, it will be delivered according to the options you select at checkout. You can find further information on our 'Delivery' page. If your rug is shown above as ''To Order'', it will typically reach you in 1 - 2 weeks. However, please do contact us if you need your rug more quickly as we can often organise that for you.

We asked readers to write in with their own stories and suggestions about the NHS in response to our investigation this week.
This is what you told us.
"You ask if I'd be willing to pay more tax to fund the NHS. My answer is yes, subject to three conditions. First, the extra money must go directly to frontline services and not management reviews or bureaucracy. Second, it must not be used to buy services from the private sector. Third, the Government must implement an effective crackdown on tax evasion and avoidance, thus raising more money for the NHS.
Tom Saul
The NHS is superb. One penny on the pound, with no exception on income tax, would go a long way to resolving this dreadful shortfall.
William Bishop
I now live 330 miles away from my parents, both of whom are 91 in April. I travel down to Cornwall once a month to see them. They both have heart conditions. It is increasingly difficult to do the journey – motorways are busy, the train fare is £100, if I'm lucky, and petrol prices are increasing. You can also imagine the price of accommodation in Cornwall during the summer. It has been suggested by people such as Jeremy Hunt and Sarah Vine that people should care for their elderly relatives. The reality is so different.
Louise Gill
Black hole in NHS funding = £22billion. Cost of renewing Trident = £205billion. Shall we have a referendum?
Jo Darley
I never understood why convalescent homes were closed. Such places allow people to recover their strength until they can live once more in their own homes. This would cut "bed blocking".
Janet Price Jones
In North Cumbria, the optimistically named Success Regime (run by expensive private consultants) plans to close beds in our main hospitals, as well as closing or reducing them in our community hospitals. Meanwhile, the council is reducing the number of care home places, and the numbers of school nurses and health visitors. When asked why this scheme would work when similar ones had failed, the answer was simply: "Because it's got to."
Maggie Clowes
We are both over 80 and rely on our health centre and hospital. It takes a month to see a doctor, but they are great. I see names of patients being called and many are foreign – but so are many of the doctors and nurses. My last visit to A&E was with a branch embedded in my hand. I was seen immediately, transferred and treated superbly by a doctor from Pakistan. Wonderful – but I do not understand how reducing the number of hospitals will reduce the workload of the brilliant but stretched NHS staff.
Dennis Goswell,
Full marks for your exposure of what is going on in our NHS. We have formed the Save Our Hospital Campaign, but we badly needed the publicity to be national because no one seems to be aware of the cuts by stealth that sustainability and transformation plans represent. Here we have difficulty obtaining an ambulance – and it will be worse next month, when our local ambulanceman retires and we lose it altogether. Today, when we saw all your articles which echoed what we have said for months, we felt vindicated over all the letters, emails and calls we have made which seemed to be ignored by people at the top.
John and Judith Jackson,
Well done, Oliver Duff, for proposing that the NHS be depoliticised in the manner of the Bank of England. Should that happen, would it not be an idea to do the same with the education service? It has been subject to political meddling for as long as most of us can remember.
Rodney E Jones

I think this question needs to be addressed by this forum.
For myself, I lean towards Blood, Sweat & Tears. I had the misfortune to see them when I was about 12 at the BBC Theatre in Shepherds Bush. You know, my dad got me tickets to see them filming an "In Concert". He thought I'd "like it". I didn't. I was bewildered as to why it was so boring. At that tender age I was entranced merely by being in the proximity of electric guitars and amplifiers and all the accoutrements of live amplified music. I should have liked it. But it was awful. Not long after, my dad got me tickets to see The Kinks filming an "In Concert". This provided me with invaluable perspective. They were great. I loved them.
At the end of my first year at grammar school, someone lent me "Chicago Transit Authority" - Chicago's 1st album. Again, I thought I ought to like it because it had lots of long tracks with "interesting" solos (nascent jazz buff that I was) - but I didn't. It was boring. Except for "I'm A Man" which I liked but I knew that the original version was better. (It did also have a thing on it called "Freeform Guitar" which was pretty far-out sounding, but a long way from enjoyable.)
Later on, both groups made lots and lots more albums that routinely got bad reviews and sold in truckloads - especially Chicago. My all-time favourite record review is Lester Bangs's immortal review of "Chicago Live At Carnegie hall" which is pretty much unsurpassed in the genre.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this burning issue?

This is the initial print advertising that we are starting to promote our computer forensic business. This particular ad will only be directed to lawyers and will be followed up in the coming months with more mailers and letters. This design project is only for the the front of the post card.
Desired Style:

Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Business Overview
CyberEye is a computer forensics firm that assists lawyers, businesses and private investigators in electronic evidence discovery and expert witness testimony. This particular mailer will only be sent to lawyers.
To my knowledge, we have one local competitor. However, I believe that most of the forensic work is outsourced to companies that are several hundred miles away.
Points of Emphasis
- We are local (not 250 miles away)
- We have EnCE certified computer examiners. EnCe is the most respected certification in computer forensics (At this time there are only 11 EnCEs in all of North and South Carolina
- We don't only examine computers but we can also examine cell phones and PDAsStyle
This is the hard part! We want to present ourselves with a sleek and modern design in order to set ourselves apart from traditional private investigators. However, most lawyers are rather conservative in taste. Im not sure how to balance the two out. My own concept involves puzzle pieces, but that just what I could come up with off the top of my head. If you have a better concept, go with it!
Here are some web pages

Sure, you can go with a fan to cool your PC if you're boring and concerned about things like space. If you're more towards the insane side, you might drool over these ludicrous custom heat sinks.
Given that each sink stands about 16 inches tall, and the whole rig weighs about 5kg, it's probably not the most efficient cooling from a practical perspective. That said, it's good at its job. It can handle a TDP of 200W without a single fan. Of course, since these are the crazy projects of a mad Hungarian, you can't buy a set for your own rig. But let's face it, you don't have space for them anyway. [FanlessTech]

French Ligue 1 report: St Etienne off to a flyer
Last Updated: 09/08/14 11:14pm
St Etienne claimed a 2-0 away win over Guingamp in the opening game of their Ligue 1 campaign thanks to a goal in each half from Mevlut Erding.
The Turkey international scored the opener from the penalty spot in the 39th minute before making sure of the points with a stoppage-time strike at the Stade du Roudourou.
Guingamp had a goal ruled out in the 67th minute as Christophe Mandanne was flagged offside.
Guingamp did have several chances of their own, though, with the first almost falling to Mustapha Yatabare, but Moustapha Bayal Sall cleared the threat.
However, the ball out was poor and it found Laurent Dos Santos on the edge of the area, but his first-time effort flew over Stephane Ruffier's crossbar.
St Etienne took the lead as the first half started to wind down when Christophe Kerbrat fouled Romain Hamouma six yards out.
Erding stepped up and took charge before firing a confident penalty beyond Mamadou Samassa.
Guingamp then wasted a good opportunity to level just before the break when Yatabare met Thibault Giresse's corner at the near post but the powerful striker failed to make good contact and Ruffier gathered easily.
After the break, Kerbrat went close to making up for giving away the penalty when he met Giresse's corner, but the defender could only head over Ruffier's bar.
Mandanne then thought he had levelled for the hosts when he got on the end of a good ball by Sylvain Marveaux before beating Ruffier, but the flag went up for offside.
As Guingamp started becoming increasingly desperate, St Etienne doubled their lead.
Guingamp defender Dorian Leveque made a huge gaffe and passed straight to Erding who, faced only with Samassa in the En Avant goal, made no mistake and sealed all three points.

While project development activity is now picking up following the extension of the production tax credit (PTC), the market still has more nacelle assembly capacity than it is likely to need over the near term.
Manufacturing and supply-chain-related employment dropped from 30,000 to 25,500 in 2012, says the American Wind Energy Association's (AWEA) newly released annual report.
At the same time, overall employment in the sector increased from 75,000 jobs at the end of 2011 to 80,700 in 2012.
AWEA's senior policy analyst Emily Williams attributed the increase to a strong construction year that saw wind trump natural gas as the largest source of new power in the US with 13.13GW installed.
"We did see contraction in some areas, but as the US wind industry had its best year ever, these were made up for in areas like construction," Williams said.
Among the five major wind-related manufacturing facilities that closed last year were two nacelle assembly plants, leaving 12 still in operation with more than 13GW of capacity. But market analysts have predicted only 2-3GW of new wind build in the US this year and 5-8GW next year, while a recent report from Make Consulting suggests enough demand exists in North America to support an average build of more than 6GW per year to 2020.
The 13 blade factories in the US have the capability to produce more than 12,500 individual blades annually, AWEA says. On the tower side, the closure of two factories and the decision by six more to cease supplying the wind industry has left 12 facilities capable of producing about 3,800 towers a year.
"This diminished capability signifies a potential supply chain bottleneck in the near-term," the annual report says.
New developments
Delays in getting renewal of the $0.023/kWh production tax credit (PTC) also affected wind energy buyers. AWEA's analysis found "minimal activity" in 2012 when it came to finalising power offtake agreements for future projects. With the PTC now in place for projects that start construction this year, that is changing, Williams said. At least seven utilities have issued requests for proposals for more than 1GW of wind.
Developers are also moving projects forward without power purchase agreements (PPAs), entering into 10- and 15-year fixed price hedge agreements with big investment banks.
"It is one of the new developments that we've seen over that last couple of months," John Eber, managing director at JP Morgan, told the recent AWEA-sponsored Chicago Leadership Forum.
"When we have essentially a short period of time in which we are trying to build wind farms, to be able to execute a power hedge in lieu of a PPA is definitely making some of these wind farms happen that might not otherwise."
Only about 15% of projects built in 2012 did not have some form of long-term offtake agreement, says AWEA.
GE was the top turbine provider in the US in 2012 with just over 5GW installed, followed by Siemens with 2.64GW and Vestas with 1.8 GW. Florida-based Nextera was the leading developer with 1.5GW installed. Iberdrola was next with 716GW added, and EDF Renewable Energy third with 658GW.

The Sun Source of Ultraviolet Rays
Did you perceive that overexposure to the sun may wind up in skin and eye harm? While some sunlight is essential, a lot of is dangerous, exchange with respect to sunburn, inconvenient developing of the skin, skin tumor, waterfalls, anaphylaxes, and damage to the safe structure. In spite of the real reality that the ordinary individual gets a large portion of his or her period sun by the age of eighteen, everybody must be mindful of the dangers of presentation to daylight.
The tired effects of light are made by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. These vague bars from the sun are accessible 2 sorts, alluded to as UVA and UVB, each of that cause sun-related skin harm.
So on truly appreciate the tanning technique of the skin you have got to possess in any occasion an imperative understanding of the properties and capacity of light. Though light has expected a central role in the histories of confidence, art and science and is along these lines essential to our customary existence, it will amazingly be really sensitive.
Ultraviolet light is just past violet light concerning redundancy. Its essential regular supply is the sun and very surprising stars; misleadingly, it's made by electric-roundabout arc lights for scientific capacities. Ultraviolet bars are oftentimes perilous to plants and animals, and additionally people. Their risk is by magnified by their wavelength. They're partitioned into 3 classes: UV-An, UV-B, and UV-C. UV-A has the longest wavelength and is least unsafe.
Within this disorder is that the sun's ultraviolet A (long-wave) and ultraviolet B (shortwave) pillars. Our understanding of precisely what type of damage all produces to the skin, and the path best to guard ourselves, appears to move methodically as new research appears.
UVA, that penetrates the skin a great deal of profoundly than UVB, has long been far-extremely popular to possess genuine effect in skin developing and wrinkling (photo aging), however up to the ebb and flow reason specialists dependable it didn't prompt huge damage in scopes of the epidermis skin (outer skin layer) wherever most skin malignancies happen. UVA is that the predominating tanning ray, and that we presently recognize that tanning, whether outside or in an extremely salon. Tanning stalls basically release UVA. The high-weight sunlamps utilized as a zone of tanning salons transmit estimations of UVA the greatest sum as twelve times that of the sun. As anybody would perhaps expect, individuals who use tanning salons of half times a ton of powerless against produce epithelial cell harmful neoplastic malady, and 1.5 times a great deal of helpless against produce basal cell threatening neoplastic infection. As showed by late researched, initial presentation to tanning beds in youth fabricates threatening melanoma risk by seventy five percent.
UVB, the superior explanation behind skin reddening and sunburn, offers a propensity to damage the skins a great deal of outer dermal layers. It expect a key role inside the change of skin cancer and a tributary half in tanning and photo aging. Its force shifts through season, territory, and time of day. The premier tremendous live of UVB hits the U.S. between ten AM and four PM from April to October. Regardless, UVB shafts will duplicate and damage your skin year-around, essentially at high heights and on canny surfaces, such as, snow or ice, that bounce the distance down to eighty % of the rays so they hit the skin twofold. UVB rays don't essentially enter glass.
Guarantee yourself from ultraviolet radiation, each inside and out. perpetually look for the shade outside, between ten AM and four PM. also since UVA enters glass, consider and additionally level, tinted UV-preventive film to your cars aspect and back windows and moreover to house and business windows. This film obstruct up to 99 % of radiation and permits up to eighty percent of clear light suitable estimations of Ultraviolet bars cause the body to produce ergocalciferol, and this can be utilized by experts to treat Vitamin D inadequacy and a couple of skin issue.

If You Prick a Corporation, Does It Not Bleed?
Well, no, because as my liberal friends all seem to be indignantly announcing in the aftermath of the Citizens United ruling, corporations aren't really people! They're creatures of statute, and "corporate personhood" is just a convenient legal fiction. Which is fair enough, but also seems to miss the point rather spectacularly. As a practical matter, it is hard to imagine any constitutional liberty that could not be reduced to a hollow joke if we refused to count as an infringement any regulation that nominally targeted only the corporate mechanism for coordinating its exercise.
Having dispensed with the repellent doctrine of corporate personhood, we can happily declare that journalists enjoy full freedom of the press … as long as they don't plan on using the resources of the New York Times Company or Random House or Comcast, which as mere legal fictions can be barred from using their property to circulate unpatriotic ideas. You're free to practice your religion without interference — but if it's an unpopular one, well, let's hope you don't expect to send your kids to a religious school or build a church or something, because those tend to involve incorporating. A woman's right to choose is sacrosanct, but since clinics and hospitals are mere corporations with no such protection, she'd better hope she knows a doctor who makes house calls. Fill in your own scenarios, it's easy.
The irony here is that it's libertarians who are often accused of a myopic obsession with formal liberties rather than their real‐world value to people — "the law in its majestic equality" and all that. But this, surely, would be the height of empty formalism — a right to swing your fist that stops at the air.
I think people are obsessing over this because we often think of rights as flowing, at least in part, from respect for our intrinsic human dignity, and it seems equal parts farcical and offensive to suggest that institutions like Exxon and Nike are in the same moral category. As a purely ethical matter, of course corporations as such don't have rights. As a practical matter, though, rights that wither at the corporate touch won't do you a whole lot of good in the 21st century.

Camp of Artillery Corps
near Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug 28th 1863"
My darling Maggie,
I am again a soldier and fast settling
down to the routine of Camp life. I arrived here on Wednesday
evening about 6 o'clock and tramped over the country in
the neighborhood of Chattanooga until near midnight before
I succeeded in finding the battery. They had removed
their camp a short time previous to my arrival and no
one could give me positive information as to where I
may find them. I ultimately discovered them about
four miles from town near the Look Out mountain. The
boys were all well and gave me a hearty welcome back.
The dull monotony of camp is somewhat changed
from what it was when I left. [Rosecranz] and his army
is on the opposite side of the river and has made one
attempt to cross over. They commenced shelling the town
last Friday rather unexpectedly and during divine service
for it was fast day. Some few persons were killed and
I am sorry to say amongst the number was a woman
and a little child. I think it is perfect barbarism to
shell a town without giving sufficient time for non-
combatants to leave. Yesterday they resumed the bombard
ment for two or three hours but without any damage except
to the buildings. The citizens have all left and even the
[suttlers] allowed the love of life to overcome their love of
gain and hurried off without waiting to remove their goods."
Of course there will be no general engagement until they
succeed in crossing the river and I think by that time
we will be in condition to give them a good fight – for
we have re-inforcements on the road."
My journey this way was not as pleasant as
on my way home. I was delayed on the road and had not
recovered from the pang of parting from those that are
so dear to me. I would that I could always be with you
darling, but this at present is the post of duty and I know
you could not love me as you do, if I failed to bravely

WASHINGTON - A senior officer with the nation's spy satellite agency is being investigated over criminal allegations related to contracting even as the agency's No. 2 official is accused of trying to illegally shield the subordinate from scrutiny, McClatchy Newspapers has learned.
The inspector general of the National Reconnaissance Office opened the criminal inquiry after meeting secretly in May with four top officers of the agency, who told her about "a series of allegations of malfeasant actions" by a colleague, according to agency documents obtained by McClatchy Newspapers.
The agency's deputy director, Air Force Maj. Gen. Susan Mashiko, then heard about the investigation and made what the inspector general described as an illegal threat of retaliation against the whistleblowers.
"Four directors went to the IG," the inspector general quoted Mashiko as saying to a senior officer. "I would like to find them and fire them."
When the officer reacted with surprise, Mashiko backed off, saying she would have preferred if the directors had come to her first, the inspector general said in a memo. However, the inspector general, Lanie D'Alessandro, wrote that she had learned of a "history of intimidation" by Mashiko and the senior official who's being investigated.
"Now, rather than pledging to address the underlying issues, General Mashiko has responded with threats of reprisal against those who revealed the information to the IG," the inspector general wrote in a memo. "It is this threat of reprisal, by one of the most senior leaders in the NRO, that constitutes the violation of law."
The whistleblowers told the inspector general they had tried previously to raise the concerns with Mashiko and the then-principal deputy director of the agency, but that none of the accusations had been "addressed to the best of their knowledge," the inspector general wrote. D'Alessandro, who didn't return calls requesting comment, didn't reveal the names of the target of the investigation nor of the whistleblowers. National Reconnaissance Office officials, including Mashiko, refused to comment on the allegations, but federal officials with knowledge of the investigation said it involved improprieties in the agency's handling of contracts.
The drama is unfolding as Congress debates whether to toughen anti-leak laws to crack down on classified information being provided to the news media. The Obama administration has responded by ordering that thousands of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement employees be questioned about media leaks when they're polygraphed during security clearance screenings. In an unprecedented move, the administration also has criminally prosecuted numerous government employees for leaking. Whistleblower and media advocates fear that the aggressive efforts will have a chilling effect on the reporting of government wrongdoing but won't stop classified information from being leaked when it's politically advantageous to administrations.
After McClatchy Newspapers published stories raising questions about the National Reconnaissance Office's polygraph program in July based on whistleblower allegations, top agency officials told polygraphers in a meeting that the accusations McClatchy detailed were unfounded and based on incidents that were taken out of context, said one person familiar with the meeting. One official vowed to "take action" against polygraphers named and unnamed who had cooperated with the reporter, said the source, who asked not to be named. The statement was taken as a threat that polygraphers who raise similar concerns about the agency's practices - even to the inspector general - would be punished or criminally prosecuted as leakers. At the same meeting, polygraphers then were asked whether they had any problems with the way the program was being run. "You could hear crickets," the source told McClatchy.
The inspector general recently agreed to investigate the National Reconnaissance Office's polygraph program, but "people are going to be reluctant to talk with NRO's inspector general now," said the source, who was afraid to be identified for fear of being seen as cooperating with the media. Among some employees, the agency's inspector general office is perceived as overly aligned with the CIA and out to protect the CIA's interests rather than root out government misconduct. In an unusual relationship, the CIA shares responsibility with the Defense Department in overseeing the National Reconnaissance Office, which is staffed by CIA and Air Force employees.
However, the inspector general's recent reaction to the allegations of retaliation signals independence from the NRO's leadership, other officials said.
D'Alessandro, a senior intelligence service officer with the CIA who became inspector general in 2009, raised the alarm about the retaliation and other criminal allegations in what's known as a "seven-day letter," a mechanism for inspector generals to report serious misconduct of agencies to Congress. D'Alessandro officially notified the agency's director in the letter, dated July 3. D'Alessandro didn't name the principal deputy director who's accused of disregarding the whistleblowers' allegations, but according to the agency's website Betty Sapp held that title until July 6, when she became director.
D'Alessandro's predecessor, Eric Feldman, said he had never sent a seven-day letter during his six years as the NRO's inspector general. "It's reserved for serious matters," said Feldman, who said he didn't know about the investigation until a reporter called him. "For four senior officials to go to the inspector general about a fifth, I would say it would have to be a serious matter."
Feldman said he was surprised to hear of the allegation against Mashiko, whom he said he'd had "favorable dealings" with when he was inspector general. However, he said he wasn't surprised to hear of allegations against an NRO official related to the handling of contracts.
"You're talking about a lot of money at this agency and a culture within the intelligence community that isn't really comfortable with the idea of transparency," he said. "Generally speaking, people in that agency are ethical but there is a certain dependency on contractors and closeness with contractors that can create an awkward environment."
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, told the inspector general in a letter sent Monday that the criminal investigation only added to his concerns about the agency. Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, is seen as a whistleblower advocate and he has previously scrutinized the use of polygraph by the federal government.
Grassley said in his letter he also was concerned that some law enforcement agencies had told McClatchy Newspapers that they weren't notified of child molestation confessions that came out during the NRO's polygraph screenings.
"These allegations raise a number of questions about the NRO leadership," Grassley wrote about the various issues, adding that he wanted D'Alessandro to turn to the inspectors general for the Pentagon or the intelligence community for help "if you deem it appropriate and necessary."
McClatchy Newspapers tried to talk with Mashiko, but she hung up as soon as she understood that a reporter was calling. Mashiko is a decorated 30-year Air Force veteran who is described on the agency's website as working in a "wide variety of space and acquisition assignments."
Former director Bruce Carlson, who announced his retirement before the criminal investigation was opened, declined to comment on the inquiry even though the controversy occurred during his tenure.
"I'm really not interested in commenting," he said. "I'm no longer on the payroll."
Carlson, however, spoke at length in praise of the agency's work, calling its last three years "the most successful in the past quarter century."
"NRO has some of the most dedicated and hardworking people I've ever been around," said Carlson, who singled out Mashiko for praise.
Referring to a long-ago accounting scandal at the NRO, Carlson said the agency had finally succeeded in leaving behind its "horrible record." In 1996, the NRO's director and deputy director were fired in the wake of accusations that the agency had kept a slush fund and hadn't adequately informed Congress about the construction of its headquarters in Chantilly, Va.
The NRO's budget is classified, but according to some estimates it could be more than $10 billion annually and it rivals the budgets of the National Security Agency and the CIA. In 2005, the NRO faced questions about its financial stewardship when it canceled a major satellite program, called Future Imagery Architecture, because of cost overruns and delays.
In contrast, Carlson said the agency got a "clean audit" every year of his three-year tenure. "That's a big deal for Congress. We can account for our money."
Other officials with knowledge of intelligence operations questioned Carlson's characterization.
"Given the lack of transparency over intelligence operations, we can't go on the word of agency officials that everything is fine," said one official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. "There needs to be a neutral and outside review of what's going on."

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires were chosen to be fitted to the Nismo, to respond to the cornering, sporty handling and raw power of this V6 344-horsepower coupe, with a tailor-made rubber compound and wider 245/40R19 sizes on the front and 285/35R19 on the rear.
Already sold in the US and Japan, a unique specification of the 370Z Nismo has been developed to suit European road conditions and the taste of European driving enthusiasts. The 3.7L V6 delivers 344HP up from 328HP in the standard car and has received extensive engineering enhancements to heighten the European drive experience.
The wider Bridgestone tires not only put more rubber on the road for improved grip, they also distribute the car weight over a larger contact area, helping to control tire heat build-up caused by the extreme stress of sporty handling. Balancing safety with high performance, these Bridgestone tires provide the dry traction needed by a car that accelerates from 0 to 100kph in 5.2 seconds but also deliver a reassuring C grade for wet grip (A high, G low) on new EU labeling.
Nismo, abbreviated from Nissan Motorsports, is the line of performance sports models from Nissan Motor Company. The 370Z is the latest in a long line of Z sports cars manufactured by Nissan since the late 1960's.
About Bridgestone Europe
Bridgestone Europe (BSEU), with European headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, is a key regional subsidiary of Tokyo-based Bridgestone Corporation, the world's largest manufacturer of tires and other rubber products. Bridgestone Europe operates an R&D center, 8 plants and offices in more than 30 European countries, with over 13,000 employees. BSEU's premium tires are sold both within Europe and globally.

Companies like Sega and Namco tend to get all the credit when it comes to weird and wonderful arcade cabinets, but even all the way back in the 1970s, Atari was trying its hardest to be different.
To that end, it came up with a number of prototypes for cabinets that went a little further than just a wooden box with a TV monitor inside it.
Like a Snoopy game which you played in a replica doghouse. Or, even cooler, this rig for submarine game Wolfpack, which simulated an actual sub's periscope, and even had the player rotate the scope to change their view (the TV was located at the base of the central column, so it even worked like a real periscope).
Of course, these were being made at a turbulent time for Atari, one which saw big changes for them just as the bottom was falling out of the arcade business. So many prototypes, including radical visions for Battlestar Galactica, Gremlins and Last Starfighter games, were sadly never realised.

I'm very excited to announce that I'll be heading out on a Road Trip with my mother tomorrow, travelling from Toronto, Canada to Frankenmuth, Michigan to visit
The World's Largest Christmas Store.
I have been there once before, 2005 I believe, but it was a very hectic day, driving in - shopping - and driving home all within the same day! It's a 3.5-4hr drive, so it was kind of a blur!
This year, however, we'll be driving in Thursday evening, spending the night, shopping all day Friday, and enjoying the evening in the town, and heading home Saturday.
This is a special trip for several reasons. To start, it will be the first night(s) I'll ever have been away from my 5 month old baby. Second, I plan on buying some Important items, such as emboydered Stockings for the family (Mom, Dad, Lydia), and a Tree Skirt with our family name.
My internet access will be VERY limited while I'm away (Thursday-Saturday) - so please keep that in mind for updates / replies on the site here, but also - don't fret, I'll be taking a BAJILLION photos to share with everyone - this place is going to knock your socks off if you haven't seen it before!

Hillcats' Lipka hits for the cycle
Braves outfielder plates five runs in Lynchburg's 19-hit attack
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | April 25, 2013 9:17 PM
After tearing his hamstring last summer, Matt Lipka knew that his recovery would be slow and gradual. For a youngster that considers speed his No. 1 tool, not being able to walk is a harsh setback.
The shortstop-turned-outfielder knows Thursday's big game does not mean his recovery is complete, but he realizes that it is a step in the right direction. It might have seemed to others like a full-out sprint that way.
The Braves' No. 8 prospect went 4-for-5, hitting for the cycle and plating a career-high five RBIs in the Class A Advanced Lynchburg Hillcats' 15-8 rout of the host Winston-Salem Dash.
"Getting into live games is all about getting the feel back, getting your legs back under you over time," Lipka said. "It's pretty humbling, going from playing well to then basically having to learn how to walk again. It's a long process."
The center fielder doubled to left field in the second inning -- a blooper that he described as a "hustle double" and he smacked his first homer of the season to left field in the fifth.
"I think I have been the home run short before, that's not my game," Lipka said of his fifth longball in four pro seasons. "I only usually get one to three a year. The chance of it happening is pretty rare.
"But I felt super relaxed. Since the injury I haven't felt super comfortable, but I was relaxed in the box that time and everything was real loose. It was a 2-1 fastball, I saw the ball well and I got my foot down."
Lipka then tripled home two runs on a ball in the left-center field gap in the sixth frame before coasting into first base on a ball down the third-base line in the ninth.
After fouling the first pitch he saw from Jeremy Erben back to the screen behind home plate, Lipka turned on the second offering and yanked it deep into the corner. With his speed, it could have been a stand-up double, but -- knowing the situation -- the 21-year-old jogged into first.
"We were up six runs and I knew it wasn't going to hurt the team," Lipka said. "My teammates told me that if I hit one in the gap I had to hold up at first. I gave it a pretty hard long thought between [first and second]. But it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"My teammates were unreal. They got me six at-bats and we had almost 20 hits as a team. Tonight isn't really about me, it's about us all coming along at once. It was all pretty special to watch."
It was the 6-foot-1 right-handed hitter's third career four-hit game. He went 4-for-6 in the Hillcats' 10-4 win over Wilmington last May 8, and he was 4-for-7 in Rome's 16-inning, 9-8 loss to Augusta on Sept. 3, 2011.
It was the first cycle in the four-year history of BB&T Ballpark. The last Hillcat to hit for the cycle was Dan Brewer, who accomplished the feat last July 29 in a 9-3 win over Salem.
The Georgia native entered Thursday's game hitting .174 in 17 Carolina League games. He was 6-for-40 (.150) in his past 10 outings, and he had just one hit in his previous 18 at-bats.
Selected by the Braves 35th overall in the 2010 Draft, Lipka played just 51 games last before before his injury on June 23. The tendon in his hamstring tore completely from the bone -- known medically as a distal rupture of the semiltendinosus -- and it needed to be reinserted with a anchor.
This surgery was followed by three months of rehab and Lipka began hitting again toward the end of October with Dodgers prospect and friend Zach Lee in Texas.
"With the injury and how many games I've missed, it's hard to just make those at-bats up, he said. "I think I need about 100 at-bats."
Lynchburg erupted for a season-best 19 hits, including 12 extra-base hits.
Cleanup hitter Robby Hefflinger was 4-for-5 with two doubles, a triple, a walk, four runs scored and an RBI, while Kyle Kubitza and David Rohm -- the No. 5 and 6 hitters -- combined for five doubles, eight RBIs and five runs.
Hillcats reliever Ronan Pacheco (1-0) earned the win after allowing three runs -- two earned -- on two hits and three walks over 1 2/3 innings. Starter Mark Pope allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over four innings.
Dash starter Terance Marin yielded six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits and a walk over 4 1/3 frames.

I have a database with three "levels" of objects:
B, and
C. Table
A has around 100000 rows,
B has 500000, and
C has 2 million.
In a fit of stupidity, I designed the database to use joining tables
AB and
BC, even though these are 1:m and could have been represented as an
ParentA attribute in
B and a
ParentB attribute in
C. I did this because I thought at the time that these might be m:m.
Now, I also have a table
D that has a m:m relationship with
C. To simplify data management for users, it makes sense to allow them to relate
D to
A or
B rather than directly to each
So, I have joining tables
DB, and
DC, and a joining view
DC2 that includes
DC as well as the inherited
DC relationships from joins of
DA-AB-BC and
DB-BC. I use a UNION ALL for this, and there's some business logic to prevent users from assigning the same
D record at two levels.
The problem is, the performance of
DC2 kinda sucks. All of the other tables have appropriate covering indexes for these joins, and the covering indexes are clustered. DC2 does not include tables
C, or
D, just the joining tables.
There are also tables E, F, G, and H that are similar to D in how they relate to A, B, and C.
What are some strategies I can use to improve performance of these inherited relationships?
Thought of already:
- Making
DC2an indexed view is not an option since UNION is not permitted in an indexed view in MSSQL.
- I could make DC2 a table and manage it with triggers, but this would be a pain, and I still have EC2, FC2, etc. to deal with. I can't make it where
- Changing AB and BC into attributes of B and C might actually slow things down, since the joining tables are lighter and the main tables aren't joined to DC2 often.

LOS ANGELES — The Rockies opened three of their previous four road trips with wins. And it appeared as though they might make it four out of five on Friday night.
You know the rest of the story. Two balks and two home runs later, the Rockies' 1-0 lead became a 6-1 loss that ranked as one of the most frustrating of their season.
"That's a tough way to lose, I've got to tell you," said Rockies manager Jim Tracy.
But then, this is baseball. The sun came up in Southern California and the Rockies have to put Friday behind them and play another game today.

Soap star Kate O'Mara dies aged 74
Former Dynasty star Kate O'Mara has died at the age of 74, her agent said.
The actress was best known for playing Alexis Colby's scheming sister Cassandra "Caress" Morrell in the US soap in the mid 1980s, along with roles in British series Doctor Who, Howards' Way and Triangle.
Her agent Phil Belfield said she died this morning in a Sussex nursing home after a short illness.
He said: "She was extraordinary, she had so much energy and vitality with a love for theatre and acting."
He added: "A shining star has gone out and Kate will be dearly missed by all who knew and have worked with her."
O'Mara's first television roles were in the 1960s. B ut it was in the 1980s that she landed her biggest and longest-running roles.
As well as Dynasty she starred as a ruthless businesswoman in BBC drama Howards' Way, which was dubbed the "Dallas of the Seas".
She also appeared in the original run of Doctor Who opposite both Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy as renegade Time Lord The Rani.
Last year, which was Doctor Who's 50th anniversary, she said she would like to reprise the role.
She told the Huffington Post: "I'd love to come back as The Rani another time around.
"To have a much older woman as your adversary, there's something interesting about that."
In the 1990s she starred in the comedy show Absolutely Fabulous as Jackie, the sister of Joanna Lumley's character Patsy.
More recently she had appeared in ITV soap Benidorm and a 2012 stage adaptation of Agatha Christie's Death On The Nile.
She is survived by her sister, the actress Belinda Carroll.
Mr Belfield said there would be a private funeral and a memorial service on a date to be confirmed.

Its official, the 2015 Ford Mustang has been announced. The news has dropped with much anticipation; Ford was rumored to have redesigned the Mustang for the birthday of the brand. The 50th anniversary ponycar will come with 3 available engines: 3.7L V6; 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder; and 5.0L V8. With Chrysler and Chevrolet both introducing new and improved versions of the Challenger and Camaro, it was only natural for Ford to strike back.
The 2015 Ford Mustang GT will come with the 5.0L Coyote motor capable of a projected 420 hp, the same as the 2014 version. It's rumored that Ford will squeak out even more ponies from the engine to compete with the Camaro SS and Challenger SRT8, but we'll have to wait for a test drive to find out. The all-aluminum Coyote motor will come with either a six-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. All Mustangs will come with four-wheel power disc brakes. The 3.7L and 2.3L Mustangs will come with 12.6-inch, twin-piston brakes up front, while the 5.0L Mustang GT will have 13.9-inch, four-piston brakes behind the front wheels
The interior of the car has been completely overhauled, giving it a much more classic feel, while also retaining its modern, sporty edge. The exterior features more predominant rear tail lights, protruding from the body to give the 'Stang a more noticeable sequential design. On the outside, the front has been given a more modern, possibly European-influenced design. Wrap-around head lights, coupled with a wide, more aggressive grille make the Mustang's signature fascia standout from afar.
With the release of the redesigned Mustang, enthusiast will have a new platform to compete on both at the track and on the road. The stylish 50th anniversary Mustang shows-off Ford's ability to keep-up with the paces, taking no bailout money from the government, and selling an exceptional high volume of cars over its heritage. This new Mustang, coming with performance and style, is sure to please both fans and customers new to owning a Ford.
