The Creeping Realisation--January 1, 2013
So I made my way quickly to my flat a short distance from Karen's. As I walked, a slow realisation began to unfold in my mind. Slowly it crept into my consciousness and with it came the first time in my life I'd felt The Dread. The enormity of what just happened began to sink in and a weight came upon my demeanor that has still not lifted. It probably never will. On my way through the streets I met several groups of people still celebrating the New Year. A few stopped to shake my hand, the same bloodied hand that had risen out of nowhere, seemingly of its own accord, to strike mayhem and horror into the New Year and change, forever, the lives of at least 3 people in that room.
Back at my flat I triple-locked the door and removed all the keys from the mortice locks, I threw off and roughly discarded my suit like an oily rag, knowing it was ruined and I'd never wear it again. Although my mind was racing and I knew sleep impossible I climbed into bed and pulled the covers up tight. I tried to piece together the events and wondered how badly Myra was hurt. I knew my knuckles did. This gave me some indication that Myra would be going to hospital. I phoned a couple of friends but it was no surprise, given the time of day and time of year there was no answer. With some prescience I switched my phone to silent. Then I cried. No, I wept. I sobbed.
Now I want to explain that I have, and always will have, shame, contrition, remorse, penitence and regret for my actions that night. There is no doubt about that. If anyone thinks I'm feeling sorry for myself think again. However, this is my story. Not Myra's. Let her tell her own.
I thought not only of Myra, but of Karen and the atrocity she had witnessed. I would never be the same man again in her eyes.
I lay in bed with a sickness in my stomach I'd never known. I guess I've been lucky in my life, I've had no real dramas, no deaths in my family. I can only now begin to imagine how that must feel. The rising panic seemed to strangle every breath. The dread made my eyes bulge. My expression frozen and my mouth hanging open like I'd seen a ghost. Then, above the sound of my laboured breathing came heavy footsteps in the close. I knew what this was. With every step they grew louder, closer to me, every footfall like the second hand of a grandfather-clock ticking its way to midnight and the resultant, exultant chimes. I held my breath and lay rigid in my bed, my senses focussed on this and nothing more. I know how many steps there are in each section of the stairway as I often have to navigate them in complete darkness, 12, 6, 10, 7. I could now count down the last seven stairs to my door. Clump, clump, clump, and he was there. Standing within 6 feet of me. I daren't breathe. I daren't move a muscle for fear he heard me. Oh the panic in me. The utter terror. Although the second hand had reached midnight there were as yet no chimes. I waited for my doorbell to ring. Still holding my breath. Nothing. Then I heard my letterbox slowly and gently creak like a scene from a scary movie. My mind racing I quickly knew the answer. He was listening for signs of life. I listened back with all my being.
I needed to breathe so much but I knew it would be an audible gasp. I tried to let out my breath slowly and silently. Suddenly, my silenced phone began to flash. It was him outside, sneaky. If Mission Impossible had fan-fared he would have known I was inside. Hearing nothing he banged on the door loudly. Even now if someone knocks on my door I go rigid with fear. He turned and rattled the handle and slapped the door as hard as he could. I lay motionless while he implored the opening of the door and issued threats of breaking it down. After 15 minutes of heart-thumping banging, and with no signs of life inside, he retreated.
I think it was at least 30 minutes before I drew another breath and let the rigor-mortis grip of my duvet relax.
As I blinked furiously in the darkness I suddenly realised I had become a fugitive. Now a wanted man and on the run from the Police . . .

In his or her first post for Unwired View, @evleaks revealed four new Boost and Virgin Mobile handsets, including the first LTE 4G devices for each of Sprint's prepaid brands.
Boost's first LTE phones will be the HTC One SV and the ZTE Force pictured above, left to right.
The HTC One SV features a 4.3 inch 480 x 800 px Gorilla Glass screen, 5 MP main camera with 1080p video recording, 1.6 MP front facing camera, 1.2 Ghz processor, 1 GB of RAM, SD Card support and a removable battery. See the HTC site for more One SV specs and more images. HTC doesn't say which Android version the One SV runs. Probably 4.0 but we can at least hope for 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The other new Boost device is the ZTE Force which is also an LTE phone. There's not much information about this phone yet but the specs we do have are similar to the One SV: 4 inch 480 x 800 px screen, 5 MP rear and 1 MP front cameras and 1.5 Ghz dual-core processor.
Over on the Virgin Mobile side we have the LTE equipped Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE (below, left) which was recently released on Sprint as a budget LTE device. Specs again are very similar to Boost's first LTE phones; 4 inch 480 x 800 px screen, 5 MP rear and 1.3 MP front cameras and 1.2 Ghz dual-core processor. It also has NFC support for Google Wallet and runs Android 4.0. More specs are on the Samsung site and there are reviews of the postpaid version of the Victory on CNET, PhoneScoop, PCMAG.COM, AndroidGuys and elsewhere.
The other new Virgin Mobile phone isn't an LTE phone. It's an entry level Android 4.0 device called the Kyocera Event (below, right) which runs a single core 1 Ghz processor and has a 3.5 inch 320 x 480 screen and a 3.2 MP camera with flash. Which sounds a lot like a non-water resistant version of the Kyocera Hydro.
@evleaks thinks the three LTE phones will be priced in the $200 - $300 range. The Kyocera Event is likely be a sub $100 phone. All four phones are expected to show up some time in the first quarter of next year.

|Six orbs sighted in Wells, ME
While sitting around the campfire with my daughter at our campsite Saturday night (7/13/13), I suddenly saw through the trees, two bright, orange orbs flying east to west. We got up and moved to a clearing to get a better view of them.
They seemed to come in from the ocean, get to a certain spot and then take a R turn to head North. As they flew away from us, they gained altitude and flew up and away into the sky.
There were two of them to begin with, then after they made their R turn north, another came into view. This happened 3 times. About 2 minutes lapsed before we saw the 6th and final one.
There was no noise – they were all very round and very bright.

At Deadline - Support
Story Utilities
The Boston Stock Exchange (BSE) is supporting the New York Stock Exchange's stance on the proposed plans for bolting the OptiMark Technologies trading facility to the Pacific Exchange (PCX), linking them both to the Intermarket Trading System (ITS). In a public comment letter filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the BSE argues that unmatched orders sent to the PCX via OptiMark should be first exposed to PCX specialists for potential execution before a commitment to trade is transmitted through the ITS.
For its part, OptiMark wants an arrangement that allows all trading interest on the PCX floor, including unmatched orders, to be included in a commitment to trade through the ITS. The National Association of Securities Dealers, in contrast, has basically supported the parameters of the PCX and OptiMark link. In the comment letter, the BSE says that the most "tried-and-true test of price discovery has been through the auction process for exchange-listed securities, and this process includes a probe or other form of market inquiry."

Film/Lit Episode 1
We're attempting a podcast. My sister of The Bluestocking Society and I have joined the forces of our collective knowledge of film and literature to produce a 20-ish minute long, bi-monthly (or semi-monthly if you prefer) podcast where we discuss… film and literature. It is called Film/Lit.
We've produced the first episode which you can listen to at the Film/Lit site where there's all sorts of other information about each episode. Or should you rather use iTunes, subscribe or stream it here. Feedback is appreciated since we're kind of feeling our way around in the dark here.

Review of Fem Wrestling Rooms – Kat Destroys LeAnn – 29.5 Mins
We join LeAnn in the ring as she talks about her frustration of losing so many matches lately. When her opponent, the tiny Kat, enters the ring LeAnn suddenly gains confidence! She knows she can defeat this thin beauty! Ah, but sweet LeAnn finds out that her confidence is short lived! The rules of this match are that the loser of each round must stand up and lift the arm of the winner. Spoiler alert … Kat NEVER raises the arm of LeAnn! Yes, our tiny and tanned beauty TOTALLY dominates LeAnn with submission after submission (with a sweet knockout thrown in!) Kat destroys LeAnn with a camel clutch, hammerlocks, double arm choke to surfboard, leg lock to boston crab, figure four head scissors, clothesline to standing bow and arrow, body scissor/full nelson, and a final long held school girl pin. Each round ends with poor LeAnn being forced to raise sexy Kat's arm in victory and as this awesome match progresses, LeAnn shows her frustration to being dominated by her tanned and tiny opponent!
I find it funny that LeAnn has arguably become the biggest jobber at FWR. She not a tiny little girl, like Peyton or Kat, but she really does just lose to everyone, which is a great thing for us because she looks absolutely amazing and gets better and better at selling every time I see her. As is becoming normal with LeAnn's matches we get an added humiliation feature, this time being LeAnn have to raise Kat's hand after every round. It's great watching LeAnn's face turn from being angry about losing the early rounds to being sad and exhausted as the rounds pile up. Speaking of faces, we get a ton got great painful expressions from LeAnn as Kat twists and bends LeAnn through every round. It's another good squash with LeAnn, we even get a really nice KO just about halfway through, and it's always a little better when I get at least one KO.
Overall score: 8.5/10

CP Family Network Editor
Children grow more quickly in their first few years than they do at almost any other time in their lives. However, some children lag behind and fail to gain weight or grow as quickly as their peers. Failure to thrive is a term used to describe children whose current weight or rate of weight gain falls significantly below that of other children their age. Many factors can contribute to failure to thrive, but it is often one of the first warning signs of cerebral palsy.
Failure to thrive may be due to medical factors such as disease or disability (organic failure to thrive) or environmental factors such as abuse or neglect (non-organic failure to thrive). Here, we'll focus on organic failure to thrive and its links to cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Organic failure to thrive occurs when a child is unable to take in, maintain or use the calories required to gain weight and grow normally due to medical reasons.
Medical causes of failure to thrive include:
- Brain injury or damage to the central nervous system
- Cerebral palsy
- Complications due to low birth weight (especially common in multiple births)
- Chromosomal conditions including Down syndrome and Turner syndrome
- Organ problems
- Heart or lung (cardiopulmonary) problems
- Anemia or other blood disorders
- Growth hormone deficiency or other hormone deficiencies
- Metabolic disorders
- Conditions involving the gastrointestinal system, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Chronic infections
Cerebral palsy can cause changes to a child's brain and body that make it difficult for them to obtain nourishment and grow at a normal rate. Children with CP may have difficulty swallowing their food or feeding themselves, making it hard for them to consume enough calories. They may also experience loss of muscle mass due to inadequate exercise. Some children with cerebral palsy have damage to the parts of the brain that control growth and development.
Although there are many causes of failure to thrive, the symptoms are often the same. If you notice your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms, seek the advice of your child's doctor. It is important to diagnose failure to thrive early so that corrective actions can be taken as soon as possible.
Symptoms of failure to thrive include:
- Weight, height and head circumference do not correspond with standard growth charts
- Weight is lower than 3rd percentile or 20% below the ideal weight for their height – Most babies double their birth weight by 4 months and triple it by age 1, but kids with failure to thrive often don't meet those milestones.
- Growth may have slowed or stopped after a previously established growth curve
- Delays in rolling over, sitting, standing and walking
- Underdeveloped mental and social skills
- Delayed puberty in adolescents
- Poor feeding due to lack of interest or trouble receiving nutrition
- Constipation
- Excessive crying
- Excessive sleepiness (lethargy)
- Irritability
Although failure to thrive is not difficult to diagnose, determining the underlying cause can be harder. Your child's doctor will perform a physical exam and compare your child's height and weight to the normal ranges for children of the same age and gender. Your pediatrician will discuss your child's medical and dietary history with you, and may involve a dietician to assess your child's nutritional requirements.
Sometimes, a fairly simple change in your child's food intake can significantly improve his or her growth rate. However, your doctor may decide to perform additional tests such as the Denver Developmental Screening Test, a test specifically designed to reveal developmental delays.
Other tests used to assess failure to thrive include:
- Hemoglobin electrophoresis to check for conditions such as sickle cell anemia
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- X-rays to determine bone age and condition
- Electrolyte balance
- Hormone studies, including thyroid function tests
- Urinalysis
Treating a child that has failed to thrive depends on the cause of the delayed growth and development. When medical conditions are responsible for the delay, treating the underlying condition is of the utmost importance. This may involve physical therapy, occupational therapy, corrective surgery, special diets or other medical interventions.
The primary goal of treatment is to make sure the child receives sufficient calories and any other support necessary to grow at a healthy rate. Adjusting your child's diet to ensure their nutritional needs are met should always be done in consultation with your pediatrician.

Here the sound judgment of Totski stood him in good stead. He realized that Nastasia Philipovna must be well aware that she could do nothing by legal means to injure him, and that her flashing eyes betrayed some entirely different intention.
Nastasia Philipovna was quite capable of ruining herself, and even of perpetrating something which would send her to Siberia, for the mere pleasure of injuring a man for whom she had developed so inhuman a sense of loathing and contempt. He had sufficient insight to understand that she valued nothing in the world — herself least of all — and he made no attempt to conceal the fact that he was a coward in some respects. For instance, if he had been told that he would be stabbed at the altar, or publicly insulted, he would undoubtedly have been frightened; but not so much at the idea of being murdered, or wounded, or insulted, as at the thought that if such things were to happen he would be made to look ridiculous in the eyes of society.
He knew well that Nastasia thoroughly understood him and where to wound him and how, and therefore, as the marriage was still only in embryo, Totski decided to conciliate her by giving it up. His decision was strengthened by the fact that Nastasia Philipovna had curiously altered of late. It would be difficult to conceive how different she was physically, at the present time, to the girl of a few years ago. She was pretty then . . . but now! . . . Totski laughed angrily when he thought how short-sighted he had been. In days gone by he remembered how he had looked at her beautiful eyes, how even then he had marvelled at their dark mysterious depths, and at their wondering gaze which seemed to seek an answer to some unknown riddle. Her complexion also had altered. She was now exceedingly pale, but, curiously, this change only made her more beautiful. Like most men of the world, Totski had rather despised such a cheaply-bought conquest, but of late years he had begun to think differently about it. It had struck him as long ago as last spring that he ought to be finding a good match for Nastasia; for instance, some respectable and reasonable young fellow serving in a government office in another part of the country. How maliciously Nastasia laughed at the idea of such a thing, now!
However, it appeared to Totski that he might make use of her in another way; and he determined to establish her in St. Petersburg, surrounding her with all the comforts and luxuries that his wealth could command. In this way he might gain glory in certain circles.
Five years of this Petersburg life went by, and, of course, during that time a great deal happened. Totski's position was very uncomfortable; having "funked" once, he could not totally regain his ease. He was afraid, he did not know why, but he was simply afraid of Nastasia Philipovna. For the first two years or so he had suspected that she wished to marry him herself, and that only her vanity prevented her telling him so. He thought that she wanted him to approach her with a humble proposal from his own side, But to his great, and not entirely pleasurable amazement, he discovered that this was by no means the case, and that were he to offer himself he would be refused. He could not understand such a state of things, and was obliged to conclude that it was pride, the pride of an injured and imaginative woman, which had gone to such lengths that it preferred to sit and nurse its contempt and hatred in solitude rather than mount to heights of hitherto unattainable splendour. To make matters worse, she was quite impervious to mercenary considerations, and could not be bribed in any way.
Finally, Totski took cunning means to try to break his chains and be free. He tried to tempt her in various ways to lose her heart; he invited princes, hussars, secretaries of embassies, poets, novelists, even Socialists, to see her; but not one of them all made the faintest impression upon Nastasia. It was as though she had a pebble in place of a heart, as though her feelings and affections were dried up and withered for ever.
She lived almost entirely alone; she read, she studied, she loved music. Her principal acquaintances were poor women of various grades, a couple of actresses, and the family of a poor schoolteacher. Among these people she was much beloved.
She received four or five friends sometimes, of an evening. Totski often came. Lately, too, General Epanchin had been enabled with great difficulty to introduce himself into her circle. Gania made her acquaintance also, and others were Ferdishenko, an ill-bred, and would-be witty, young clerk, and Ptitsin, a money-lender of modest and polished manners, who had risen from poverty. In fact, Nastasia Philipovna's beauty became a thing known to all the town; but not a single man could boast of anything more than his own admiration for her; and this reputation of hers, and her wit and culture and grace, all confirmed Totski in the plan he had now prepared.
And it was at this moment that General Epanchin began to play so large and important a part in the story.
When Totski had approached the general with his request for friendly counsel as to a marriage with one of his daughters, he had made a full and candid confession. He had said that he intended to stop at no means to obtain his freedom; even if Nastasia were to promise to leave him entirely alone in future, he would not (he said) believe and trust her; words were not enough for him; he must have solid guarantees of some sort. So he and the general determined to try what an attempt to appeal to her heart would effect. Having arrived at Nastasia's house one day, with Epanchin, Totski immediately began to speak of the intolerable torment of his position. He admitted that he was to blame for all, but candidly confessed that he could not bring himself to feel any remorse for his original guilt towards herself, because he was a man of sensual passions which were inborn and ineradicable, and that he had no power over himself in this respect; but that he wished, seriously, to marry at last, and that the whole fate of the most desirable social union which he contemplated, was in her hands; in a word, he confided his all to her generosity of heart.
General Epanchin took up his part and spoke in the character of father of a family; he spoke sensibly, and without wasting words over any attempt at sentimentality, he merely recorded his full admission of her right to be the arbiter of Totski's destiny at this moment. He then pointed out that the fate of his daughter, and very likely of both his other daughters, now hung upon her reply.
To Nastasia's question as to what they wished her to do, Totski confessed that he had been so frightened by her, five years ago, that he could never now be entirely comfortable until she herself married. He immediately added that such a suggestion from him would, of course, be absurd, unless accompanied by remarks of a more pointed nature. He very well knew, he said, that a certain young gentleman of good family, namely, Gavrila Ardalionovitch Ivolgin, with whom she was acquainted, and whom she received at her house, had long loved her passionately, and would give his life for some response from her. The young fellow had confessed this love of his to him (Totski) and had also admitted it in the hearing of his benefactor, General Epanchin. Lastly, he could not help being of opinion that Nastasia must be aware of Gania's love for her, and if he (Totski) mistook not, she had looked with some favour upon it, being often lonely, and rather tired of her present life. Having remarked how difficult it was for him, of all people, to speak to her of these matters, Totski concluded by saying that he trusted Nastasia Philipovna would not look with contempt upon him if he now expressed his sincere desire to guarantee her future by a gift of seventy-five thousand roubles. He added that the sum would have been left her all the same in his will, and that therefore she must not consider the gift as in any way an indemnification to her for anything, but that there was no reason, after all, why a man should not be allowed to entertain a natural desire to lighten his conscience, etc., etc.; in fact, all that would naturally be said under the circumstances. Totski was very eloquent all through, and, in conclusion, just touched on the fact that not a soul in the world, not even General Epanchin, had ever heard a word about the above seventy-five thousand roubles, and that this was the first time he had ever given expression to his intentions in respect to them.

|Number of countries with broadband plans, source ITU
The policy research process, like the policy it produces, should be open and transparent.
Norges Rodriguez wrote a recent post surveying the historical causes of the sorry state of the Cuban Internet and calling for a digital revolution. At the end of that post, he promised a followup post suggesting steps to take on the road to Cuban connectivity.
He has now published the followup post. You should read Rodriguez' post, but here are a few points I took from it:
- He advocates competition and is wary of partnerships with Google or other large firms.
- ETECSA has an important role to play, but it must be re-defined -- a national monopoly on wholesale and retail service is clearly a bad idea. (Note that incumbent monopolies often prove to be strong competitors after markets are opened to competition).
- The government has a significant role to play in subsidising connectivity to public institutions and poor people, encouraging digital literacy, reducing the digital gap between rural and urban areas and creating content.
- Transparency in policy setting, enforcement and business is mandatory.
The starting point is setting infrastructure and application goals. Infrastructure goals are things like affordable fixed and mobile broadband, connectivity to homes and public buildings and high usage rates in rural and urban areas and by men and women. Application goals would focus on areas like health, education, industry, government and entertainment. (For an early definition of this sort of framework, in which Cuba is used as an example, see this article).
Infrastructure regulation and ownership policies are equally important. What should be the role of the national government, local governments, private cooperatives and companies, foreign investors and the owners of homes and other premises?
The bad news is that Cuba is late to the game, but the good news is that many other national and local governments have implemented a diverse array of infrastructure ownership strategies and Cuba can learn from their experience -- what works and what does not. Cuba is also free to adopt emerging technologies.
We have seen a leaked executive summary of an infrastructure plan for the next five years, but it is not focused on future technologies or ownership policies. Furthermore, it had to be leaked.
If Cuba wishes to jump to a modern Internet, policy research and planning should begin today. The policy research process, like the policy it produces, should be open and transparent. Norges Rodriguez has outlined several principles, but the government, ETECSA, universities and others must join the conversation.
This post was translated into Spanish by a friend, Armando Camacho. (Scroll down for the Spanish version). It is on his blog, Carpe Diem, which covers the Internet and a lot more.

Cheating, Courtship, Dating, Family, High-pitched voices, Love, Low-pitched voices, Marriage, Relationship. Psychology, Sex
We are not trying to cast aspersions on your partner, but if he's got a really low voice or hers is particularly high-pitched, you might intuitively suspect they're more likely to cheat on you. And you may be right.
A new study published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology links voice pitch with perceived unfaithfulness, bolstering previous research that has shown men with lower-pitched voices have more sexual partners — and more babies.
The research indicates that people may rely on voice pitch as a means of determining who may be likely to stray. "From an evolutionary perspective, if this perception did not benefit our ancestors by helping them choose better mates, then we would not expect it to persist," says Jillian O'Connor, a graduate student in the department of psychology, neuroscience and behavior at McMaster University in Ontario and lead author of the study.
Researchers rounded up 54 male and 61 female undergraduates and directed them to listen to two recordings of male and female voices whose pitches had been digitally raised and lowered, then choose which voices belonged to people more likely to cheat on their partner. They also asked which voices they found most attractive.
Here's the rub: The men with the lowest-pitched voices were deemed by women most likely to cheat — and most attractive. Similarly, men thought women with the highest-pitched voices were foxier and more prone to infidelity.
Part of it's pure physiology: We know that men with very deep voices and women with high pitches have a greater respective concentration of testosterone and estrogen.
"If these people are more attractive, they're more likely to be in a relationship," says David Feinberg, an assistant professor in the department of psychology, neuroscience and behavior and adviser on the study. "Because of their hormones, they're more likely to be promiscuous. And because they're more attractive, their partners are more likely to let them get away with it."
Previously, Feinberg traveled to Tanzania to track the sexual proclivities of the Hadza hunter-gatherer tribe. The Hadza don't use birth control, so it was the perfect kind of place to examine fidelity. Feinberg found that the lower a man's voice, the more babies he had — more than one a year, which clued Feinberg in to the likelihood that lower-voiced men were spreading their sperm with abandon.
Now, Canadian college students have confirmed the connection. Potential partners: cute as these deep-voiced darlings — and higher-pitched hotties — may be, consider yourself forewarned.

Justin Trudeau is unimpressed with the Harper government's approach to medical marijuana.
During an appearance at the University of Manitoba on Wednesday (October 9), he told the assembled crowd that he would like to see medical marijuana patients retain the ability to grow their own pot.
"The current approach is not working," the federal Liberal leader told the group after being asked what his stance was on medical marijuana and the rights of patients to grow their own supply.
Under the outgoing Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR), a person must apply for a permit to possess marijuana. If approved, they then have the options of either producing their own product or purchasing it from a licensed grower or Health Canada. But as of April 1, 2014, the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) will come into effect, and patients will only be able to obtain medical marijuana from licensed producers.
The federal government claims the MMPR will "provide access to quality-controlled marihuana for medical purposes, produced under secure and sanitary conditions". However, as it eliminates the ability for medical marijuana patients to grow their own pot, activist fear many people will no longer have access to specialized strains they have relied on. As well, dispensaries and many compassion clubs will have to close under the new rules, and there are fears the new system will increase prices.

Presiding judge served in Vietnam
EDWARDSVILLE - As a combat veteran of Vietnam and in the criminal courts, Madison County Circuit Judge Charles Romani Jr. has seen the connection between military service and the need for mental health and substance abuse services when the veterans return home.
Romani was a sergeant in the U.S. Army, serving near the Demilitarized Zone in South Vietnam.
Chief 3rd Circuit Judge Ann Callis recently appointed Romani as presiding judge over the new Madison County Veterans' Court.
"One of our fire bases was the farthest north of any post in South Vietnam. You could see the North Vietnamese flag from there," Romani said.
He said he served as a radio technician at several fire bases near the DMZ and saw teenagers, drafted into the Army, who had their first experiences with drugs and alcohol while serving in stressful combat situations.
As a judge, he has seen many veterans whose mental health and substance abuse problems contributed to their entanglements with the justice system. The drug or alcohol problems may be a result of the memories of their combat experiences, he said.
"Being a Vietnam veteran, I have always been concerned with the problems that veterans face when returning home," Romani said. "The court system needs to provide treatment for mental and/or substance abuse issues for those veterans who need it and are involved in the criminal justice system.
"The men and women who have served our country deserve an opportunity to get their lives in order," Romani said.
Callis said all the key officials of the new court are military veterans who have volunteered to head up various aspects of the court.
"Our court is unique in that it is staffed by veterans who served in virtually every branch of the United States Armed Forces - those who have served our country honorably and have a distinct understanding of veterans' issues," Callis said.
"Ours is the first in the state and, I believe, the third in the country," Callis said, noting that she learned of such programs at a judicial seminar.
She said participation in Veterans' Court will work similarly to Drug Court, in which people accused of crimes can enter the program voluntarily and receive treatment, instead of a possible criminal conviction.
"We are going to see if we can divert some of these people from the legal system," Romani said.
The probation officer spearheading the monitoring function of the court will be Brian Hodge, an active member of the U.S. Air Force Reserves, who serves as a flight commander at Scott Air Force Base. He is a veteran of Operation Desert Storm.
"I am confident than many of our struggling veterans would be well-served by a mentor from our community who may relate to what they are going through and can provide the support that only a fellow veteran or serviceman can offer," Hodge said.
Mental Health Probation Officer Dennis Baker, who served in the Army Medical Corps, also will participate. The prosecutor assigned to the court will be Michael Stewart, a former Marine Corps corporal. Tyler Bateman, the public defender, is a former Navy lieutenant.
Dr. Jeremy Jewell of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will assist by attempting to bring in grant money and will provide a screening tool for probation.
Callis said the organization TASC, which provides evaluation and testing for the courts, will provide evaluations, free of charge, to the Veterans' Court.
"The court will only accept nonviolent offenders. It will require no additional funding and will be assisted by volunteer lawyers from the Madison County Bar Association," Callis said.

You say Cannubi, I say...Canubbi?
3 comments:
- Giovanni Arcari said...
è giusta la tua osservazione ma devi sapere che prima del 1968 in Italia (anno in cui sono nate le prime DOC) si poteva piantare nebbiolo a Milano e chiamarlo "vino barolo" o "vino tipo barolo".
Non c'era una regolamentazione e forse definire i vini Cannubi per uno come Maccarello -che comunque è proprietario di un pezzo dei Cannubi- voleva dire esclusività di un nome che all'epoca, usavano forse in pochi o nessuno.

hey Levi, I'm here to thank you for the shout out and to translate Giovanni's "intervention" (I know yall would really dig each other and that you'd dig his Franciacorta).
"Your observation is correct but you keep in mind that before 1968 in Italy (the year in which the first DOC were created) you could plant Nebbiolo even in Milan and call it 'vino barolo' or 'vino tipo barolo'. There was no regulation. Perhaps, for someone like Mascarello — who owns a piece of Cannubi — it denoted the exclusivity of the name in that era, a name which very few used or perhaps even no one."
Thanks, again, Levi, for the shoutout... we should powwow on this...

If you are someone who is planning to appear in CyberArk CAU301 Dumps certification program and are worried because you don't have enough preparation, the preparation material and program offered by eBraindumps.com has got you covered.
eBraindumps knows the importance and value of appearing and passing the CAU301 exam Dumps in your career. That's why they have designed a solution and package that will enable you to be prepared at your best and pass the CAU301 CyberArk Sentry exam in the first attempt.
There is a fair amount of students who fail the CAU301 certification program. Upon study, we came to know that there are a couple of reasons behind them not able to pass the exam.
Those reasons are listed as follows:
Now, let's discuss these reasons briefly.
One of the main reasons behind students failing the CAU301 certification exam is not enough will and determination shown to pass the exam.
Nothing can be done unless the individual is willing to clear the examination him/herself. He/she might spend hundreds of dollars in buying extra books, extra classes or preparation material, but unless there is no will and determination, the chances of clearing the CAU301 exam are very slim.
One of the reasons why a candidate is not showing enough will to study for the CyberArk CAU301 exam questions is the non-availability of the preparation material.
It is highly likely that a book alone might not be enough for the student to understand the concepts and ideologies explained. When the student is not able to understand the concept properly, he/she starts to lose interest in the subject.
That will eventually lead to him not showing any willingness to study and prepare to pass the examination. This is an area that we focused as it was one of the major reason of why candidates were not able to pass the exam.
Another scenario is when the student does get some preparation material, but that is not good enough to make him understand the concepts and prepare him/her to pass the exam in the first attempt.
Let's suppose the candidate is willing to prepare well for the examination and he/she can get a hold of preparation material. The third scenario why that candidate is not able to pass the exam is when he is not guided on how to prepare for the exam smartly.
The preparation material might have content that the candidate should not waste his/her time on. This is where (eBriandumps) came up with a solution to provide a smart way to guide the candidate to pass the CAU301 in the first attempt.
In the modern era, smart is the way to go. That's the same approach (eBraindumps.com) has taken to provide their clients with a solution that don't want them to work hard. It allows them to work smart and achieve the level of success they desire.
So after digging into the facts and analyzing the causes of students failing the CAU301 certification exam, eBraindumps introduced a product which is changing the way students are preparing for the exam.
So now, we'll discuss the product and the key features offered.
eBraindumps came up with a product which guarantee that the candidate will pass the CAU301 certification exam. The product is in two formats. Those are as follows:
Let's discuss the key features of both the formats.
The basic purpose of providing preparation material in PDF format is to make it easy to access and read anywhere. It is made by keeping in mind the updated trends and needs of the customers. The key features are as follows:
The most attractive aspect of the program offered by eBraindumps is the practical exam software. This is the new approach taken towards preparing students to clear the CAU301exam in the first attempt.Some key features are as follows:
Now after getting to know about all the features of this product, the question arises that why should you buy this product? Following are the reasons why you should choose to buy this product:
The first and the only reason you need to buy this product is the money-back guarantee that eBraindumps provide that you will be able to pass the CyberArk CAU301exam dumps in the first attempt. The candidate will get a full refund if he/she fails the exam after using this product.
Another reason to buy this product is that you will save cost and time. The original CAU301 exam fees are usually very high, ranging from $100 to $1,000. If you fail to pass the CAU301exam in multiple attempts, you will have to pay the registration fee again. It will result in more cost in the long run.
With the money-back guarantee this product provides, you are guaranteed to save money and time. This sounds a great deal for sure and enough to encourage you to buy the product.

|Research, training, consultancy and software to reduce IT costs
The ideas amplifier
Computers don't just automate our ideas, they make them bigger.
I have often wondered why computer systems work. I have been developing a new data load feature for our software. It involves a fairly complex mixture of data management, dependency resolution, change detection and version control. I have designed it carefully and am testing it as I go. But how do I know it will work when I have finished?
I have had this thought many times before. I have written lots of computer systems and by-and-large they work. They do what I want. The design and programming achieve the aims set out for them. But, philosophically, why is this? What is it about computers that allow us to translate our ideas into machines that meet our requirements?
In part, computer systems work because of the sort of people we are. IT attracts people with systematic, consistent minds. We work over problems in our heads and find ways through. We translate those methods into computer programs, and out come working computer systems.
It is not just the sort of people we are. I was trying to mend a garage door the other day, and only succeeded in jamming it and needing to take a hammer to it. I might have a mind to get computers to do my bidding, but not the physical world. In what way are information systems different from physical systems?
The nature of information partly explains why computer systems work. Computers store, process and move information, and information is a much more flexible and forgiving medium than garage doors. We can fiddle around with the rules for storing, processing and moving information until we get a recipe that works. But there is more to it than that.
The final part of why computer system work is their ability to repeat our recipes tirelessly. Computers can consistently and efficiently repeat the instructions we give them, and so apply our ideas to much larger problems.
This amplification allows us to develop small programs that do big things. In my example load program, I need to synchronize large, interconnected structures across two instances of the software. But although that is a big requirement, I only have to think through the rules for a single piece of data, and can rely on the computer to apply my recipe reliably to large and complex data sets.
As well as helping us deliver technically, computers allow us to amplify business ideas and exploit them in whole new ways. Take Twitter for example. There's nothing particularly clever about noting down a few thought for other people to read. But by using computers and the Internet, this simple idea is amplified into something which is not only much larger but different in kind. The simple idea of writing down thoughts has turned into a responsive and inclusive global news and opinion system.
When we think of how computers add value, we need to think of this amplification effect. I often write how computers are just machines that store, process and move information. But maybe I am guilty of oversimplification. Their ability to do this quickly, reliably and on a large scale gives a whole new dimension. Computers don't just automate our ideas, they make them bigger.Next: Problem density

And the Obnoxious Kitchen Cabinets come DOWN!!
5 comments:
Amazing how much better it looks! Great job!ReplyDelete
I grew up with the same cabinets blocking our view. I agree they needed to come down. I can see where your pantry will be located and it will be perfect. Great decision:)ReplyDelete
I enjoy your blog - I think you are related to someone that is related to someone related to me ... lol -ReplyDelete
Just fyi - I can remember when having an open 'bar' or pass through to the kitchen (never mind cabinets) was a very novel idea that was considered a bit edgy and crazy! Solid walls hid kitchens and those that worked in them (women mostly)- food magically appeared to be eaten I suppose. And 'properly decent' women had kitchen aprons and 'dress' aprons. My grandmother always put on her 'good' apron before company got there ... She was appalled more appalled than you are at the strange notion of this configuration - it just wasn't 'done'.
Wow, Sharon! I love these photos. You guys have done so much work. The house is looking fantastic. So happy to have you in the neighborhood.ReplyDelete

Buying a basic, commonsense tool kit 1
Perhaps you've just completed a beginning woodworking course, or maybe you've recently assembled your first kit project. You thoroughly enjoyed these tastes of woodworking, and now you're ready for bigger challenges. But one obstacle blocks your way; you don't own the proper tools.
What tools does a beginning woodworker need, and how should he or she acquire them? In an unscientific poll of WOOD staff members, we assembled a basic tool kit for woodworkers—tools we think should be a part of any woodworking shop. With this equipment-and skill-you can perform most woodworking operations.
As you read the list, you'll notice we don't mention stationary power tools—the table saws, drill presses, band saws, and jointers that profes¬sional woodworkers and serious amateurs swear by. We left them out because this is a basic tool kit.
In at least one case, we did so with great reluctance. All of us would have liked to include a table saw in the package, but we omitted it for reasons of economy.
Even without the table saw, if you walk into vour local tool shop and ask for everything on our list, the clerk might ask you for a $1,000 bill. How can you get a start in this hobby without robbing a bank? We believe the answer is to plan carefully and buy wisely.
Plan Ahead
Equip your shop a few tools at a time. As your skills improve, so will your tool inventory. In this basic kit, we list the tools that we find indispensable in bold-face type. They're the items you're likely to find most useful and use most often, so think about purchas¬ing them first.
Can you sidestep any processes for which you're not well equipped? Some retail wood outlets will joint, rip, thickness, and crosscut lumber to size, for example. You pay for this service, of course, but in the short run it's less expensive than buying the tools you'd need to do the work yourself.
As you budget each new project, try to figure in the purchase of one new and necessary tool. You'll spread out the cost of equipping your shop, and you'll be able to enjoy a new tool with each new project.
Finally, remember that there are woodworkers who make exceptional pieces with hand tools only. We are addicted to the power tools in our shop, but we know that life can KO on without them.

Good news for all erotica fans and writers!
Those wonderful people at Penguin have finally got round to updating the Kama Sutra!
In the article at Updating the Kama Sutra in the National Post last Monday, Roya Nikkah tells the tale behind this new version of the old classic sex manual, including new sections aimed at modern enthusiasts of the ancient Hindu text. Alas, however, they are also making it a text-only work, so no more wonderful pictures of those difficult positions that we all laughed at (and tried to try out!) as teenagers! LOL
The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana has been the go-to work for sexual guidance for centuries, and, whether sniggered at or worked at, has provided countless hours of fun and pleasure to its readers. It's arguably the Number 1 best selling work of erotica of all time, and certainly one of the originators of the genre, and a much plagiarised, satirised, dramatised and copied book!
I am looking forward to reading the new additions, especially those sections dealing with "Getting Rid Of Him", "Easy Women" and "Moves Towards Sex"! The only drawback now is - we'll have to use our imaginations now to visualize those wonderful moves!
Once I get a copy, I will write a review and post it here.
Roll on tomorrow!

In my experience, this is/was a terrible product. I first purchased a 300W only to have it stuck in the "ON" mode, maybe a month after installing it. I informed MOPS about this, and they were great. They immediately sent me a new heater (I opted to go down to a 250W). This one lasted a little longer after being installed in my tank. (125gallon tank) I believe it lasted 6 months... only to end in the same situation, with my tank reading about 32 degrees C. I promptly removed this heater, which was steaming hot when coming out of the tank. It had actually melted the lower rubber bumper. I again informed MOPS, only to let them know of the situation. I went to the "Big guys" fish store and purchased an Eheim heater. Tank has been perfectly at 27 degrees every since. I WOULD NOT recommend this brand of heater to anyone. Unless you want to cook your fish.

Ok. I really haven't been taking care of myself lately so I really wanna reverse it all.. I was hoping you guys could give me some tips and useful pointers as to stuff that I could do and maintain on a daily basis to lose some weight!
More specifically, I really want to lose the fat from my legs and thighs.. get them slim again.. lose the fat from my ass so it doesn't stick out like a speed hump and to just lose that darned gut! I've been having trouble fitting into my usual clothes too and looking as good as before in them.
So, pointers? Stuff that I could do daily to help get myself back into 'fashionable' shape?
Oh and on that topic, has anybody tried that 8-12 technique? I saw it on a health program today. Where, in whatever excercise you do, you sprint for 8 seconds and go casually for 12? Or was it sprint for 12 and casual for 8...

I also thought I'd try to figure out some nice decorative edgings. Here are a few I've been able to source:
- Latvian Twist (this is an easy cast-on technique - can be done with many colours)
- Latvian Braid (basically, colourwork with the purl side showing, while being consistent about twisting the yarns around each other - can be done anywhere in your work, and with as many colours as you like)
- Braided cast-on (again, can be done with many colours)
- Then there is this cross-over between a picot cast-on and the twist technique, which produces a neat row of picots with eyelets above.
- fringed cast-on, or use the loop stitch to create one or more rows along the bottom of your work.
[braided cast-on in 2 colours, followed by K1P1 ribbing in 2 colours]
[Latvian Twist cast-on in 3 colours, followed by Latvian Braid in 2 colours]

The Anglo-Australian mining giant, BHP Billiton, has given its most optimistic assessment of the commodities markets since the global economic downturn. The company says surging demand from China for iron ore shipments will lift the mining industry, but it warns markets could remain volatile. From Sydney, Phil Mercer reports.
Industrial analysts say iron ore prices could rise 10 to 20 percent this year because of increasing demand as the global economy recovers.
BHP Billiton, the world's largest mining company, also is optimistic in its latest assessment of key commodity markets.
The company's output of iron ore, as well as copper, zinc and nickel, surged in the last three months of 2009 because of strong demand from Chinese carmakers and construction companies.
Iron ore production in the three months hit 32.45 million metric tons, up from 29.4 million tons a year earlier.
China's imports of iron ore in 2009 rose by more than 40 percent, a buying spree economists say was driven in part by efforts to stockpile supplies while global prices are low.
Australian commodities analyst Peter Rudd says BHP has set records for the production of key minerals.
"We've seen good levels of output, and given that, for the bulk commodities in particular - that's the iron ore and coal both steaming and coking - those prices are looking strong. Medium to longer term, it's an excellent outlook as far as profit from those particular commodities is concerned," he said.
BHP Billition said in a statement that government stimulus measures imposed over the past year "appear to have supported a gradual return to normalized global trade."
The Anglo-Australian miner, however, warns that markets could remain volatile as governments start to end their stimulus programs.
Indeed, news that China's government plans to rein in bank lending concerned investors Wednesday and Thursday, sending BHP's share price lower. Economists say much of China's growth in the past year was the result of stimulus efforts, including rapid lending growth that funded new housing and factory construction.
Last week Rio Tinto, the world's second-largest iron ore exporter, reported a 49 percent gain in fourth-quarter output.
Australia's mineral exports, especially to China and India, helped to insulate the country from the worst of the global slowdown.
Industry analysts say Australia's mining boom is likely to continue for years" because of strong demand from the developing economies in Asia.

This ad poster was found in the Taiwanese chain A+1 and features a Chinese play on words to promote their range of Korean products. The poster reads 聖誕韓流(圣诞韩流 shèngdàn hán liú), which means Christmas 聖誕 Korean 韓 style 流. While 流 might not usually be used for 'style' (風格 is more common) it fits nicely with the winter theme of the promotion and is exactly the same pronunciation as 寒流(hánliú)which means cold stream/cold current.
We love play on words like this so if you've seen any let us know.

"Before You're Dead…" Day 345
Rip the woodwork up from the floor.
Dig a new hole and throw out the established order.
Toss away what has ailed us for so long.
Use it as you would use manure.
Use all this shit and create something new.
It's not so hard, I'm telling you.
Just fucking do something about all this
And stop bitchin';
Before you're dead.
"The Sunday Mail Pt. 4" Day 344
In the living nightmares of modern days
Growing and decaying and falling in step
To the beat of a drummer who is making mistakes.
She's leading the choir, and the choir leads her.
You still waiting for the Sunday mail?
Or are you getting up on your feet
And hitting the dance floor?
"For Those Who Have Nothing" Day 344
They are the ghosts.
The ones who sit on the edge of existence
Marveling at those who have it all
While staring into their hands and their hearts
Realizing that they have
"The Day For Freedom" – 343
This the day that freedom was born, The day when America swarmed From the sea from the bosom Of great men. Liberty and justice for all mankind.

From new order to regional autonomy: shifting dynamics of "illegal" logging in Kalimantan, Indonesia

Casson, A., Obidzinski, K. 2002. From new order to regional autonomy: shifting dynamics of "illegal" logging in Kalimantan, Indonesia . World Development 30 (12) :2133-2151. ISSN: 0305-750X.

In recent years there has been a tendency to view the seemingly irremediable spread of "illegal" logging in Indonesia in isolation, or as a result of disassociated and premediated criminal acts. This paper proposes a different view of the problem by discussing the changing dynamics of the "illegal" logging sector in the two districts of Berau, East Kalimantan and Kotawaringin Timur, Central Kalimantan. It suggests that illegal logging is not a simple case of criminality, but a complex economic and political system involving multiple stakeholders. Furthermore, "illegal" logging is not a stationary condition that can be effectively dealt with through coersive or repressive measures alone. Rather, it should be viewed as a dynamic and changing system deeply engrained in the realities of rural life in Indonesia. Regional autonomy has also created a supportive environment for the "illegal" logging trade and allowed it to gain resilience.

being surrounded by the crowd,
making attempts to run quicker,
And that makes me stand still in the crowd.
The empty pages catch up all the glare,
left blank and then still full of matter,
the power to convince and conquer over the mindsets,
setting the forgotten corners into the search process.
Screening through the torn clippings,
Made me lost to somewhere, anything,
Endlessly searching in the shambles,
that would lead to somewhere.
That might remind of home or related issues,
Dont let that luxurious lifestyle fade away,
Walk away with sense and pride,
With smiles and dreams beyond.

I'm sure you've flown on a plane before, but I can guarantee that you've never had a flight crew this stinkin' adorable before! Crusoe the Dachshund and his adorable flight attendants get ready in Ottawa International Airport to head onto their next flight. And trust me, you're going to want to see this!

Last night I had the pleasure of presenting the following recipes at the Grant Park MLCC on behalf of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy. Bonnie Tulloch, Education Coordinator for the Conservancy, presented on the plants used in the recipes while MLCC Product Ambassador Gary Dawyduk, presented excellent pairings for each course of the evening.
Some of the recipes have been repeated from other entries but are here by popular request for the evening.
Reception beverage:
Chartreuse & Tonic cocktail:
2 oz. Chartreuse Liqueur (#37333, 375ml) $27.05
5 oz. Tonic Water
Combine ingredients in a tall ice-filled glass and stir
Garnish with lime slice
1. Sage Butter pasta (Burro e salvia)
Paired with Givry Rouge 2007 – Louis Latour (#3321) $25.61
100g butter.
Bunch of fresh sage leaves
80g grated Parmesan
Black pepper.
Wash and dry the sage leaves. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the sage. Cook very gently over a low flame taking care not to let the butter burn. Pour over cooked pasta and stir through well together with freshly grated parmesan. This super-quick sauce is ideal with 'naked ravioli' (ravioli filling without the pasta) but is also suitable with any short pasta. In this case, drain the cooked pasta keeping back a little of the water. Return the pasta to the saucepan, add the sage and butter and stir over a low heat for a minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in a good helping of grated Parmesan.
The sauce should look smooth and creamy; if it has dried out too much, add a few drops of milk or fresh cream. Grind a little black pepper over when serving.
2. Pea Shoot Pesto on Arctic Char
Paired with Melange Blanc 2008 – Waterbrook (#11394) $14.95
1/4 lb fresh, young pea shoots
1 bunch chives, chopped (or spring onion)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup toasted pinenuts (or almonds)
Place the pea shoots, chives, garlic, cheese, olive oil, pine nuts salt and pepper in a food processor or blender, pulse until a thick paste forms.
Spoon over Arctic Char fillet and bake at 350ºF for 10 - 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
3. Roast tomatoes, thyme and goat's cheese
Paired with Le Soraie Veneto Rosso 2008 – Pasqua (#7467) $17.24 and Gamay Noir/Zweigelt 2009 – Pelee Island (#216028) $11.95
Enough for 4 as a first course or as part of a main course.
For the tomatoes
4 ripe large (but not beefsteak) tomatoes
4 bushy sprigs of thyme
6 cloves of garlic
a little olive oil
For the cheese
the leaves from 3 bushy little sprigs of young thyme
200g soft goat's cheese or goat's curd
a few thyme flowers
Set the oven at 400ºF.. Wipe the tomatoes, remove their stalks and cut them in half. Place them cut-side up, snugly, in a baking dish or roasting tin. Season with salt and black pepper, coarsely ground, then tuck the garlic cloves in among them. Trickle over just enough olive oil to wet their surface then bake for 30 minutes or so until the garlic cloves are soft inside. Remove them and return the tomatoes to the oven.
Pop the soft centres from the garlic into a mixing bowl by squeezing them between your thumb and finger. Add the thyme leaves, a little coarse salt and pound the mixture together with a pestle or the back of spoon. Spread a little on each tomato.
Cut the cheeses in half and put a half on each tomato. Return each half to the oven letting it partially melt before putting the dish on the table. Serve with large chunks of roughly torn bread.
4. Arugula, caramelized onion, walnut and gorgonzola pasta
Paired with Alsace Reserve Pinot Gris 2008 – Willm (#370676) $15.21 and Mavrodaphne of Patras – Kourtaki (#208413) $13.40
2-3 large onions, thinly sliced
1 cup gorgonzola, crumbled
1 tbs olive oil
1 large bunch arugula
½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
splash Vermouth, to deglaze pan
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pasta (penne, farfalle, shells, etc.)
In a large pot, caramelize onions slowly with olive oil. Add a pinch of salt to start the caramelizing. When the onions are soft and brown add the chopped walnuts. Deglaze pan with Vermouth. Add chopped arugula and gorgonzola. Season to taste. Toss with al dente cooked pasta. Serve immediately.
Finished with Drambuie. Yum!

When I sent my long list of needs to Richie, along with my own image, I expected a quote for 'custom' work. Instead, I quickly got a reply that this was all standard, and I could just pay the usual $19.95 for the leaderboard ad. Wow!
At his low prices, I was able to order 3 banner ads at a price lower than I expected to pay for one. The result was fast, professional, attractive, and just what I was looking for!
And he is easy to work with too. (Very 'Can do.')
I'm sure these banners will result in increased sales for our Hero Help Desk product.
Thanks Richie.
