Archaeological efforts are continuing at an old Dena'ina site on the east side of Kalifornsky Beach Road, roughly half a mile south of Bridge Access Road, and this time it's young diggers doing the excavating.
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe and Susten 2008 Campers -- in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska State Office of History and Archaeology and Alaska State Department of Transportation -- have been conducting an archaeological excavation of the area since Monday, that will conclude today.
"The kids are finding a lot and learning a lot," said Sasha Lindgren, the Kenaitze tribe's cultural director, in regard to the 13 campers -- ages 12 to 17 year olds -- taking part in the dig.
The sites are believed to have belonged to the Alaska Native people known as the Dena'ina, a lineage of Athabascan Indians also are the ancestors of the modern Kenaitze. State archeologists set out earlier this year to identify these sites in the state-owned right of way, and last month removed and preserved many culturally valuable materials that otherwise could have been destroyed by the ongoing road construction in the area.
Archaeologists discovered the remnants of a 10-by-20-foot house pit where as many as a dozen Dena'ina people may have lived, several cold storage cache pits where fish was stored through winter, and the remnants of a few fire pits where food was cooked and where tools were made while the inhabitants attempted to stay warm. It is these sites that the young campers are further excavating.
"The site is important to the tribe and its Susten Camp, as it gives us a glimpse into the lives of our Dena'ina ancestors whose name for the peninsula was 'Yaghanen' or 'the good land,'" Lindgren said.
Lindgren said the campers are learning by doing, too.
"They're doing what an archaeologist would do. They're recording soil conditions, setting up grid lines, doing the digging work, recording their findings by mapping them and marking them on the grid, and they're preserving their findings for later study," she said.
Last month, archaeologists uncovered many artifacts and bones, including two types of European beads, a number of beaver bones, some bird bones from what was probably a grouse, salmon bones and some smaller fish bones, two distinctly different projectile points for hunting animals, bits of iron, shards of Russian ceramics and some window glass and bottle glass from rum or other spirits.
Lindgren said the campers have added to this already impressive list of culturally significant items.
"They've found some really neat things. They found a copper ring, more beads, some sea shells and some porcupine jaw bones," she said.
While the digging is an essential part, it is what is learned from the artifacts found that is even more important, and Lindgren said this message has not been lost on the campers.
"Only a quarter of archaeology is finding artifacts. The rest is recording, preserving and studying the artifacts to try and build a body of knowledge for how people lived. It's not just finding things to put in a box," she said.
For the analysis phase of the archaeological project, the campers have been led by Dana Verrengia, the tribe's archivist, who also has a degree in anthropology from the University of Alaska Anchorage.
"We've been sifting through soil samples with a lot of bone fragments, picking out the small bone bits. It's a lot of fish vertebrae, possible from hooligan. We can calculate from the number of bones, which animals were the most important in their diet," she said.
Verrengia also is having the campers create black and white drawings of the artifacts found to go along with photos taken.
"In photos, you can lose tiny details. For example, the harpoon tip we found had cracks and small bits broken off that you could see, but that weren't apparent in photos. So, drawings helps record those things better," she said.
Verrengia said when the project is complete, the campers will have learned a lot about the past, that may be applied to their future.
"The goal was to teach them about the past and how it applies to their culture and history and teach them that there are job opportunities out there studying that culture and history," she said.
For anyone interested in learning more, the Kenaitze will host a presentation about the excavation today at 7 p.m. at Fort Kenay, at 1104 Mission Ave. in Old Towne, Kenai.
Archaeologists, Dan Thompson, Debbie Corbett, and Teneal Jenson, in addition to staff from the Kenaitze Indian Tribe and Susten 2008 campers, will be the presenters.

elser1 i do agree that people who cheat at online games are lame, but some of us that don't have time to grind at certain single player games like ff13 for example, we do get some excitement at being able to finish a 40 hour game without having to grind for 40 plus hours as well? sometimes its hard to find time when you work 40+ hours a week & juggle a wife, kids, family etc?

12-16-2011 #14Studs Guest
Is this not just a re-hash of the "cheat" system they had before? Is it only game saves that have games completed then saved or is it like the their other cheat devices where you enter codes to mod lets say heath or cash??
Be interesting to see which it is? I remember their psx pro system. That was awesome. It let the user peek and poke to find their own codes! Something like that on the ps3 would raaaaawk balls!!
12-16-2011 #15moja Guest
Okay, first I thought this is pretty cool news, until I reread the $15 only entitles you to 1 year of updated cheat codes. That, and claiming 'exclusive resigning technology'. So their code is a little different (lol)? I guess you have to market which ever way you can in this scene. Still, if cheating gives me more enjoyment out of the game (single player), then it's a good accessory.

If this is not endorsed by Sony then it is very strange that they can tamper with game saves on newer firmwares. I obviously hope that its reversed!

DIAGNOSIS; Perplexing Pain
By LISA SANDERS, M.D.
Published: November 1, 2009
''They took out my ovaries,'' the 46-year-old woman told the doctor. ''And my appendix, and most of my colon. I had several exploratory surgeries where the doctors were just trying to find out what was wrong.'' Dr. Thomas Chelimsky listened attentively. ''I've had, like, 13 surgeries,'' the woman reported, her voice edged with sadness. ''It's really been a nightmare.'' For the past 23 years, this slender, middle-aged woman was tormented by these intermittent attacks of abdominal pain and fever that lasted sometimes for weeks. None of her doctors had been able to figure out what was causing the strange episodes of devastating illness that prompted all these surgeries and dozens of hospitalizations.
But that was not why her doctor sent her to Chelimsky. She'd been losing feeling in her hands and feet for the past couple of years. It started off as a tingling sensation that came and went. Now her hands and feet were always numb. She could barely hold a pen, and she often stumbled because she couldn't really feel the ground under her feet.
Chelimsky was a neurologist at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland. The patient was there to have her hands and feet examined by EMG -- electromyography -- a test that looks for damaged nerves by sending tiny shocks through the muscle to the delicate strands that connect it to the spinal cord and brain. A change in the speed at which the electricity moves up the nerve indicates whether there is damage and, if so, where. As Chelimsky gently inserted the slender needle into the patient's muscle, he continued to ask questions about these unexplained attacks.
The first came when she was 23, she told him. She had this pain in the left side of her stomach. It felt like a knife stuck deep into her gut. Her temperature soared to 102 degrees. Her blood pressure rose to a level that frightened her doctors. She was delirious. She vomited uncontrollably. Her legs were so weak she couldn't walk.
The doctors in the hospital suspected it was her appendix, but when they took it out, the organ looked normal. After the surgery, the pain intensified. She stayed in the hospital for more than a week, and the pain slowly subsided but her doctors never figured out where the pain came from.
She had had other mysterious medical problems as well. At times her heart would beat so rapidly she would become lightheaded. Her cardiologist suspected that her heart had difficulty pacing itself, but repeated interventions failed to fix her heart's natural pacemaker. She had chronic constipation and what seemed to be frequent urinary-tract infections that were so severe she wasn't able to urinate at all. Other times, her joints and bones would hurt so awfully that she could barely get out of bed. There was never any redness or swelling of the joint, just this dull ache.
She had been given countless diagnoses -- one doctor thought it was lupus; another told her it was multiple sclerosis. Repeated testing for these diseases was negative. Still another thought it was ovarian cysts -- but the pain persisted even after first one ovary, then the other was removed. Some of the doctors she saw told her it was all in her head and suggested stress-reduction techniques.
Four years earlier, she found an internist whom she trusted, and together they tried to figure out the cause of each of the many problems she had. But she felt as if they were no closer to finding answers than they were when they started. Her internist was a kind man, she told Chelimsky, but it just seemed as if every time he'd come up with some theory about what was going on and treat that, another symptom would pop up. It was like the arcade game her children played, whack-a-mole -- you get rid of one problem, but then it would pop back up, along with another and another.
As Chelimsky ran his tests on her hands and feet, it was clear that there was significant nerve damage. The most common cause of this kind of damage was diabetes, but this patient didn't have that. A pinched nerve in the neck could also cause this kind of injury; so could a deficiency in vitamin B-12. But what caught Chelimsky's attention was the possibility that the disease had affected not just the nerves he was testing -- those that carry information back and forth between the brain and the voluntary muscles of the body -- but also the type of nerves he couldn't test by EMG, autonomic nerves, which innervate the organs like the heart, the stomach, the urinary tract. Many of her other symptoms -- the rapid heart rate, being unable to urinate, abdominal pain with no visible cause, even her constipation, which had been so severe that six months before much of her colon was removed -- could be caused by damage to the autonomic nervous system. All that added up to just one likely diagnosis.
''Has anyone ever mentioned the word porphyria to you?'' he asked. She'd never heard of it. He wasn't certain that's what she had; he hadn't examined her or reviewed her medical records, but the involvement of both types of nerves suggested this rare disease, and he thought she should discuss the possibility with her doctors.

Questions and Answers with Doug Weightby Staff Writer / Anaheim Ducks

By Adam Brady
When the Ducks made a trade last December that sent Andy McDonald to the
But the 37-year-old Weight was certainly used to being traded, as
Although his effect on the Ducks' playoff hopes is yet to be seen, especially after his recent right shoulder injury, Weight had an immediate impact when he arrived in
Ducks Digest: What was your initial reaction when you heard you were traded to the Ducks?
Weight: Well, it was definitely a surprise, but it's part of the business. Obviously I spent seven years for the most part in St. Louis and things were going well for the team for the first time in four or five years. To think of moving your family cross country is tough. Obviously I have high regard for
|Doug Weight Highlights
You've been moved a few times in your career. Do you ever get used to it?
It doesn't matter what you do for a living, change is tough. You get transferred and things change, or you get out of grade school and go on to high school and it's a new experience. You don't know what to expect from each place and it's always a challenge. But I think with each one you learn. You maybe get a little smarter and you know what's coming a little more. The older you get, you get more support. You have you wife, your family, your friends around you. I have a great support system, so it was really not that hard.
"There is nothing like making an unbelievable pass and giving a guy an empty net, because you know he's getting that feeling of scoring a goal."
How was the reception you received here?
It was great. We've got a great team as far as personnel and it's a lot of good guys. Most rooms you go in, you just try to fit in the first couple of weeks. It's been really easy here and I feel real comfortable. I'm lucky to be here.
How did this trade compare to when you were sent to
It was a little bit different. These guys won the Cup last year, so there is a lot to back up. I think it's similar based on the type of teams. Both teams could be considered one of the best in the league. It's exciting to me. It was the same situation in
What was it like winning that Cup with a team you had only played for since the mid-point of that season?
I felt like I had played there for four years. The guys were great to me and the organization was awesome. The whole situation from the brass down to the players was really easy, and it's been the same way here. I still talk to a lot of those guys and I felt like I was a big part of that team and I was really proud of what I was able to bring to them. More importantly, it was a team full of friends. I didn't think twice about the fact that I didn't get there until January. I felt like I was a big part of it.
You take pride in passing the puck. Is that something that was instilled in you early in your hockey life?
My dad, from the time I was 5 years old, told me I need to shoot more. It's the way I've always seen the game. I've always tried to be a good one-on-one player and be able to pull up and stop and make moves on guys. But after my move, I'd always try to draw someone to get someone open for an empty-netter or a one-timer. Make a nice pass through the legs. Some guys who like to play one-on-one, it's all about beating a guy and getting to the net. Certain times I have to do that, but my instincts are to find the open guy and get him the puck in a comfortable position so he can have a great shot on net. I've been lucky to play with a lot of great players over the years, and we've complimented each other well.
How does the feeling of setting up a teammate compare to scoring one yourself?
It's almost better for me. Getting goals is a great feeling individually, but I love making great plays to guys you play with, guys you're friends with. There is nothing like making an unbelievable pass and giving a guy an empty net, because you know he's getting that feeling of scoring a goal. That's my mindset and I certainly enjoy them equally.
"We've got a great team as far as personnel and it's a lot of good guys. Most rooms you go in, you just try to fit in the first couple of weeks. It's been really easy here and I feel real comfortable. I'm lucky to be here."
You seem to derive so much joy out of playing the game. Is that part of what drives you?
It's fun, but it's still a job. It's turned into 12 months a year with the training. When the team is losing or you're not performing up to standards, you take it home with you. You can't sleep, you don't eat well, you're tossing and turning, the media is on you, whatever the case may be at certain times. But when you get on the ice and practice, you're screwing around with the guys in the room, and definitely during games, it's a lot of fun. We're playing for a lot of people and we have a big responsibility to be professional, but I think you get a lot more out of yourself if you can find that drive to compete with everybody on your team and their team, trying to be the best player you can be out there. It's still a lot of fun, but there is a fine line.
How have you adjusted to living in
It's awesome out here. It's so beautiful in the mornings. I'm renting a place in
The following questions and answers did not appear in Ducks Digest:
Earlier this season you tallied your 700th assists, which put you fifth among U.S.-born players. What does that kind of feat mean to you?
I think at the end of the years, you know where you are as far as all that stuff stands, but you try not to pay too much attention to it. That's a neat accomplishment and I'd like to keep passing the puck and keep scoring. It's special to see that list and see some great players. All those things are great, but it's more pride for your kids and your family. Whether you played 10 games in the league or 2,000, whether you had 5,000 points or 40, everyone has a legacy. It's a special thing to get to this level. But so much is involved in how the team is doing and if you're winning. You could have 80 points, but if the team isn't going to make the playoffs it's a bad year. That's the way it should be.
|"[On the 2002 Olympic team] we were really proud of the silver medal and it was pretty awesome playing for Herb. He was a good man, a really nice man."
You played for the legendary Herb Brooks in the 2002 Olympics. What was that experience like?
Herb was awesome. He was very unique. I think at that time in his coaching career, he handled things a lot differently. We all saw what he did with that '80 Olympic team and how he handled those young guys and we all saw it in the movie "Miracle." He was tough and tough to read. He kept everybody on their toes and beat them up for months to keep them mentally strong. But when you're dealing with professionals who are all stars of their teams, he came in and handled it great.
On that 2002 team, I really felt like from beginning to end we just rolled. We had a rough third period against Canada, but we played Russia twice and played probably two of the best games I've ever been a part of. The stands were nuts. It was right after 9/11 and we were in Salt Lake City and it was ridiculous in that building. We came out flat in the third period against Canada, and they beat us 5-2. But we were really proud of the silver medal and it was pretty awesome playing for Herb. He was a good man, a really nice man.

Is that right?The device path and device name are stored in the tdb database. The path is used as the primary key, the unique identifier to locate the specific device.

It's true, you could do without a backing store. You could build the reference between device and name every time you wish to work with the device. In some cases that would be easy, such as simply using the kernel naming system. In other cases it might not be so easy, especially if you use a specific and complicated naming scheme. You'd have to pay the processing hit it would take to calculate the names every time you access a device. You'd also have to deal with issues like current devices and adjusting the config files, which you've already brought up. I believe having a backing store - whether tdb, gdbm, a table in memory, or a flat file - is useful for storing the configured devices and their names. It's cheap to submit a small query to find the necessary device, rather than having to go through the naming process every time a device is added, removed, or queried. Having the backing store removes the problem you mentioned about changing config files on the fly, there's no loose ends or missing or changed device names - they are stored in the database. I believe the trade off between backing store complexity and storage versus on the fly calculation is worth it. I can understand if you feel differently.As for tdb specifically being unnecessary, you could most certainly use something else to store device information. You could use a flat file. You could use gdbm. You could use a simple table in memory. I chose tdb for the following reasons: - it is a proven mechanism. - it could handle thousands of devices.- it is fast to query.- it has a small footprint.It seemed to me like a good solution for udev's backing store need. If you believe udev doesn't need the backing store and/or tdb, let's see your solution and we can decide on its technical merit by looking it over. I'm certainly open to new ideas and solutions. I'm sorry if you felt this was a "theological" discussion, I certainly don't feel the same way.Cheers,Dan> Regards, Andreas-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

ROM Green Plant Herbarium Accessions STRATA
Recently, the ROM Green Plant Herbarium accessioned a copy of the artwork STRATA into its collection. This might seem unusual, since our herbarium is the depository for over half a million scientific specimens of green plants, from algae through mosses and liverworts to all the different kinds of "plants with plumbing." Nevertheless, STRATA is intended to resemble a group of herbarium specimens in the way it was produced and in its format.

"It's a strange time to be a Jew," opine characters in this alternate-history-and-noir detective novel. Jewish refugees of World War II have lived peacefully in their homeland—the Federal District of Sitka in Alaska—for 60 years, ever since they lost Israel in 1948. Yet a "reversion" of Sitka back to Alaska will soon occur, and millions of Jews will once again be homeless. Two months before the reversion, worn, hard-drinking detective Meyer Landsman starts to investigate the murder of a junkie chess prodigy. Aided by Berko Shemets, his half-Tlingit partner, and confused by Bina, his boss (and ex-wife), Landsman must expose the dark Orthodox underworld and a religious-political scheme before Sitka reverts back to Alaska—and his own tortured history consumes him.

Los Angeles Times
"Chabon is after a quintessentially American synthesis, in which immigrant heritage blends with mass culture fascinations like science fiction and noir. … For him, the novel's genre tropes—the alternate history, the murder mystery—are less narrative devices than expressions of his desire to mix fact and fantasy, literature and popular entertainment, until we don't quite know where we stand anymore." David L. Ulin
New York Times
"The Yiddish Policemen's Union builds upon the achievement of Kavalier & Clay, creating a completely fictional world that is as persuasively detailed as his re-creation of 1940s New York in that earlier book. … Mr. Chabon has so thoroughly conjured the fictional world of Sitka—its history, culture, geography, its incestuous and byzantine political and sectarian divisions—that the reader comes to take its existence for granted." Michiko Kakutani
Christian Science Monitor
"Chabon's dexterity remains impressive; he juggles the Big Ideas with brisk narrative and amusing set pieces without breaking a sweat. … Chabon demonstrates once again with The Yiddish Policemen's Union that he ranks among the most important, and interesting, contemporary American novelists." Erik Spanberg
"The hardboiled language of pulp spills from Chabon's characters' mouths, and it's unclear whether this ripe dialogue winks and nods at the reader or if the author just gets carried away—it's a thin line between homage and parody. But it's a small price to pay for this vibrant reimagining of the roman noir." J. David Santen Jr.
Houston Chronicle
"Let's just say that if Chabon weren't Jewish, I could imagine outraged protest upon the publication of this book. In an age when people who consider themselves educated blithely deny the Holocaust, when some groups actually insist the Israelis were the ones who flew those planes into the Twin Towers, do we really need a novel that flaunts every vicious stereotype of the Jewish people?" Lisa Jennifer Selzman
Boston Globe
"The Yiddish Policemen's Union is fueled with … energy, but it's a strange, passionate misfire—obsessively constructed, meticulously researched, Byzantine in its plot line, but a thing of wonder only to itself. It's half-brilliant but half-boring, maybe because Chabon has so fallen under the sway of his creation that he lost control of its tenets." Gail Caldwell
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"What originally may have started as a good-natured gag—an insider's gentle elbow-to-the-ribs of Jewish culture a la Roth's Portnoy's Complaint, sustained over 400 pages wherein everyone is referred to as a yid, culminating in the horrifyingly ugly plot to reinstall Jews in the Holy Land by a group that looks suspiciously like Lubavitchers—is in the end cruel and mean-spirited. This is something I never thought I would find in a book by Chabon, who is usually such a warm, tender-hearted author." Kris Collins
Critical Summary
Does The Yiddish Policemen's Union live up to Michael Chabon's formidable reputation? There is no consensus: some critics called the novel the spiritual heir to the Pulitzer Prize–winning Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (2000); others thought it a disappointing aberration. As in Kavalier & Clay, Chabon explores issues of identity, assimilation, and mass culture, but he also pays homage to the noir detective novel—with mixed results. The New York Times called Landsman "one of the most appealing detective heroes to come along since Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe," while the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette felt that the work "came nowhere close to making the cut of a Raymond Chandler novel." Critics similarly disagreed about the writing, the convoluted plot, the symbolism of the Jewish-Native American conflict, and the controversial use of Yiddish slurs and caricatures. If not a glowing success, The Yiddish Policemen's Union nonetheless illustrates the rare talents and creativity of its author.

School head asks $2.7 million more
Published 11:20 pm, Thursday, December 19, 2013
BROOKFIELD -- New Board of Education member Steve Harding, a Republican, is eager to delve into his first school budget this year.
A 2005 Brookfield High School graduate and New Milford lawyer, Harding listened carefully to Schools Superintendent Anthony Bivona's budget proposal Wednesday night. He expects to have lots of questions in the coming weeks.
"He did a good job presenting it to us. As the budget season goes on, we'll look more deeply into where the money is to be spent. Essentially that is our job,'' Harding said.
"We want to provide the best education for our students and provide the money to help them, but we want to be sure there is no waste. We can't just rubber stamp budgets, either, Harding added.
Bivona spotlighted many of Brookfield's accomplishments, including a graduation rate of 97.2 percent, technology initiatives and high test scores.
If the district just maintains the services it currently offers, with no new staff or programs, the estimated increase for the 2014-15 year would be 3.68 percent, or about $1.4 million more.
The current budget is $38.295 million.
In his proposal, Bivona is seeking some enhancements, both in programs, staffing and facilities. The total of those additions is about $1.3 million.
One of his high priorities is the expansion of the world language program. This year the school board added Spanish for kindergartners and first-graders, and Bivona wants to extend that to second- through fourth-graders so the district has a complete world language program from kindergarten to third grade.
He also wants to divide a Third World language teacher between Whisconer and Brookfield High School and add a world language laboratory at Whisconier Middle.
The cost for that proposal is $365,000, including three and a half teachers.
In capital improvements, Bivona is seeking just over a half-million dollars, to remove portable classrooms from Huckleberry Hill Elementary, repave the high school gymnasium floor, replace the air-conditioning unit in the high school auditorium and create space for the world language laboratory.
In an interview earlier this week, Bivona said he is "excited'' about the budget process, recognizing that it is a give-and-take one. His hope is that the focus will remain on maintaining the quality education the district has come to "expect and deserves.''
School board Chairman Scott McCarthy said he appreciated that Bivona offered figures based on just maintaining what exists, and then broke out the costs for additional items for the board to consider.
Budget deliberations will begin next month. Once the school board approves a budget, it is forwarded to the first selectmen, the Board of Selectmen and then the Board of Finance. Taxpayers vote on a final package in May.
"It is a very good starting point for discussion,'' McCarthy said of Bivona's proposal. "You always hope that the budget increase will be as low as possible. I don't know where we come out this year."

Having problems with your Dell Dimension 4100 (-JM0TB01) PC Desktop ?
Dell logo appears and message appears INSERT BOOT DISKETTE...
\015 My PC was turned off when the power cord was accidentally turned off. It has happened before with no problems at start up. But yesterday when I turned it on it went directly to the Dell logo and after a minute the message appears..INSERT BOOT DISKETTE IN A: Followed by INVALID BOOT DISKETTE. What happend and how can I solve this?\015
Answers :
A couple of things can cause this.
1] having the 'boot order' set up so that the computer looks to a removable device that has non-bootable media in it.
2] somehow the 'boot' device has lost it's 'boot' properties.
Best way to troubleshoot:
1] find the boot CD
2] re-strat the machine and enter the "BIOS setup" mode <f10>, or <DEL>; I think::verify the boot order
this should likely be: C: ; CD ; A:
allow machine to start with CD and check to see if anything on the wanted 'boot' device has been lost; sometimes it will get smashed.

Me thinks my mind is a'changing!
Mom of Laura-my 13 going on 30 angel, and 11 year old Nathan, the happiest kid in the world who happens to have Asperger's.
Congratulations! It sounds like you have found the method of schooling (unschooling) that works for your family!
Make sure you check out graduation requirements in your state and high school transcript requirements for any colleges your children may want to attend. You can contact the college and ask if they have a Homeschool admissions counselor/advisor. This person will help you understand their entrance requirements. Then, check with your state laws about how your high school transcript should look.
Here in NC, I will have to keep a detailed record of each subject we study, how we study it, any assessments (I don't give "tests" ) given/grades (again, I don't give grades as a general rule but, I have to jump through this hoop in order to have my children's diplomas issued and be valid).
Just make sure that your unschooling journey is still valid for your state and for any potential colleges/universities.
Take care and good luck!!
Wonderful! We have started leaning towards that too. Whatever he wants to study, we study that. :) We are still early on(just 1st grade) but I am so much more excited about hs than ever because of that!
hahahahahahhaahah we've been brain washed!
Quoting carolkey74:
Funny update: I was discussing all of this with my husband this morning. He told me that last night, he took our ds around our church youth building and had him measure things. He said ds loved it! My dh even made the comment that kids learn so much more by doing hands on activities than reading it out of a textbook. I told him about yesterday, and how the kids were so excited that I put the textbooks away, and let them explore and research. When I told him that I don't plan to ever buy another textbook (unless the kiddos want them), he said, "but don't they need to use textbooks now so they will be comfortable with them in college?" I burst out laughing! I told him that when (or if) they decide to go to college, they will be able to use textbooks. Funny!

"Tacones y Manos Calientes"
These performances and workshops are offered through the BOCES Arts In Education Program. To arrange a program at your school, please contact the Delaware-Chenango-Madison -Otsego BOCES OR the Capital Region BOCES.
Tacones y Manos Calientes brings the magic and passion of Spanish dance and music to your school. Your students will view a live dance performance under the direction of La Niña, the founder of Tacones y Manos Calientes. The trio consists of baile (dance), guitar (toque) and world percussion. The presentation, lasting from 45 minutes to I 1/2 hours, includes an explanation of the dance forms and music, a brief history of flamenco, and live musical performance by a master guitarist and percussionist. If desired, a group of students is invited on stage to learn some steps, which are then performed to the accompaniment of the audience members.
This program provides an opportunity to help students meet the New York State Standards in the Fine Arts and Languages Other than English.
Separate workshops in dance, guitar and percussion can be especially designed for students with some or no prior experience, or for those who simply have a general interest in the flamenco art form.
The dance workshops will introduce the students to rhythmic palmas (hand-clapping), zapateado (heel-work), braceo (arms movement), as well as a short piece of choreography. Included is a brief history of Spanish dance and the language of the movements.
The beginning level guitar workshop will introduce students to the array of techniques that make the characteristic sounds of flamenco guitar. Among these techniques are: rasqueado, picado, arpeggio, tremolo and alzapua. A working knowledge of basic first position chords and the ability to move easily through basic chord progressions is recommended to perform the techniques. A nylon string guitar is required or one will be provided for students to share so that they can "try" the techniques.
The percussion workshop focuses on the performance as well as the history and cultural significance of the various instruments used in the ensemble. Students explore the rhythm and technique of such instruments as the African Udu drum, the flamenco string cajon, kenjira, riq and djembe.
Presenters: Rebeca Byam, Maria Zemantauski & Brian Melick

Board asked to ban loud parties at armory
Published 11:01 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2013
ALBANY — Lark Street area residents called on the Board of Zoning Appeals Wednesday to put a stop to large, thumping dance parties at the Washington Avenue Armory that they said were never contemplated when the zoning panel first blessed the use of the armory as an entertainment venue a decade ago.
But while an attorney for the armory's management acknowledged mistakes were made leading up to an October fracas outside a so-called foam party that injured several police officers and led to numerous arrests, he argued the venue has taken steps to boost security and that the parties are a vital part of the business model that keeps the armory from becoming another massive vacant building.
At issue is the definition of "auditoria", a class of zoning use that the BZA in 2003 said allowed the long-vacant armory's rebirth as a sports and music venue. But just what is meant by auditoria — and whether those dance parties qualify as concerts — is nowhere defined in the city code.
The definition has became a point of contention in the wake of the October incident, which prompted a city crackdown that temporarily halted the parties until the two sides reached an agreement to allow them to continue in November. One of the conditions of that pact was that armory management seek an interpretation from the BZA about what it had meant in 2003.
Neighbors contended conventional definitions of an auditorium — large venues with seats — clash with the large dance parties that they and the city have likened to defacto nightclubs.
"Raves occur in industrial areas in large buildings without seats, which is the antithesis of a auditorium," Richard Berkley, president of the Hudson/Park Neighborhood Association, said.
Sam Shipherd, who's lived on nearby State Street for about a decade, said the rowdiness of the crowds that spill out of the parties keep neighbors up all night and noted that at least one upcoming March event, The Execution Tour, is advertising 100,000 watts of "bone-crushing sound."
"My house, like many in the neighborhood, is 126 years old and should not be exposed to bone-crushing anything," she said.
Armory lawyer Gregory Teresi countered, however, that the venue has taken steps to work with the city to tighten security and limit alcohol consumption. He also noted that armory tried to make a profit largely as a sports venue, once hosting the Continental Basketball Association's now-defunct Albany Patroons.
"Unfortunately, that didn't work, so now we're trying to figure out how to make it work," Teresi said. "If it's not us that's there, it's somebody else that's going to be there doing the same thing."

Ferrari object to F1 calendar
January 15, 2005 11:47 IST
Ferrari want to race at Silverstone and Magny-Cours but are objecting to what they see as a manipulation of the calendar, technical director Ross Brawn said on Friday.
Team boss Frank Williams said this month that all of the teams had agreed to the expansion except world champions Ferrari, who wanted more money.
Brawn, speaking after delivering a lecture on motorsport safety at the Autosport International show in Birmingham, said he was sure Ferrari would be at both races.
But he said the designation of Britain and France as the extra races rather than newcomers China, Bahrain or Turkey would hit teams in the pocket.
"We want to race at Silverstone and we want to race at Magny-Cours," he said. "I am an Englishman and (team boss) Jean Todt is a Frenchman.
"We believe that the 18th and 19th races are either Bahrain and Turkey or China and Turkey," he added. "It is completely wrong that Magny-Cours and Silverstone were manipulated into being the 18th and 19th races.
"The income from those races in China, Bahrain and Turkey is very, very substantial. That is the money that should be shared among the teams, not the contribution that Magny-Cours and Silverstone are making."

Our Verdict: A versatile detachable or 2-in-1 for business users, the Toshiba Portege Z20t offers all-day battery life in an attractive package with multiple input options. Just steer clear of the 4GB model, since memory isn't user-upgradeable. Read More…
- What We Liked…
- Long battery life
- Fanless design keeps it quiet
- Keyboard dock expands functionality
- Sleek, lightweight design
- What We Didn't…
- Lacks rugged certifications
- RAM is not user-upgradeable
- Only ships with Windows 7 Professional (Windows 8.1 upgrade media included)
Toshiba Portege Z20t Review
By May 12, 2015reviewed
Table of Contents
Introduction, Design & Features
The Toshiba Portege Z20t doesn't purport to boldly go where no other 2-in-1 hybrid has gone before. It just wants to get you to your destination in style, and do it with a machine that's as well suited for enterprise laptop chores as it is for tablet computing—although, like other detachables, the 12.5-inch Toshiba is heftier as a tablet (1.6 pounds) than the likes of Apple's iPad Air 2 (1 pound).
The top-of-the-line configuration reviewed here, the Portege Z20t-B2112, is priced at $1,699 with an Intel Core M-5Y71 dual-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB M.2 solid-state drive. Penny-pinchers can opt for a $1,399 version with a Core M-5Y51 chip and half the memory and storage, but note that, as with most tablets, you can't replace or upgrade the RAM at home, so evaluate your needs carefully before you buy.
All Portege Z20t models come with a keyboard dock that you can lock in place to the tablet and then secure to a desk with a Kensington lock to thwart those with sticky fingers. It's a well-designed base and when attached, it's easy to mistake the Toshiba for a traditional clamshell laptop. That's not always true of 2-in-1 designs, including Microsoft's Surface line, whose keyboard options look more like afterthoughts than integral features.
Unlike the Surface, however, the Portege Z20t suffers a bit of an identity crisis on the operating system side. Most of Toshiba's advertising (and the stock photos provided for this review) show the tablet running Windows 8.1 Pro, but the system comes preloaded with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional.
We spoke with a Toshiba customer service rep who confirmed that there's no way to have Win 8.1 installed from the factory. Instead, the company ships Windows 8.1 upgrade media with each Z20t, leaving it up to the user to buy or borrow an external optical drive to install an OS that's better suited for touch computing. We'd prefer Toshiba to give buyers the option of selecting an operating system at checkout.
At 0.35 inch around the waist, the tablet portion of the Portege Z20t is slightly less skinny than dedicated slates like the iPad Air 2 (0.24 inch) and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (0.26 inch). It's also, as we said, heavier at 1.6 pounds. However, the extra thickness and weight yield a bigger in-plane switching (IPS) display and a more powerful set of components aimed at productivity rather than content consumption.
The Z20t isn't a rugged convertible, meaning it hasn't been tested to military specifications for harsh environments where extreme temperatures and the elements might wreak havoc. However, the magnesium alloy chassis is both lightweight (3.3 pounds for the docked screen and keyboard) and sturdy. It's also dressed for success with a snazzy-looking brushed metal finish accented by a reflective Toshiba logo in a corner of the lid.
All of the buttons and I/O ports are lined along the right side of the frame. From top to bottom, you'll find the power button, volume rocker, micro USB 2.0 port, micro HDMI port, microSD card reader, and a headphone/microphone combo jack. There are also indicator LEDs for power and battery. Intel Wireless Display (WiDi), 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0 are built in.
The included keyboard dock expands the convertible's connectivity by adding a full-sized HDMI port, VGA output for legacy monitors or projectors, two USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and the aforementioned Kensington lock slot. Perhaps most appealing, the keyboard has its own 36Wh battery that effectively doubles the Portege's runtime.
Of course, the primary purpose of a keyboard dock is typing, and Toshiba's is serviceable though not spectacular. The low-profile keys feel a little slippery and could use more resistance, though the keyboard beats pecking away at the virtual plank in Windows. The keyboard is also spill-resistant and has an LED backlight for those times when work beckons into the late hours of the night.
If you don't want to occupy one of the USB ports with a mouse, you can take advantage of the pointing stick between the G and H keys, a feature that's still found on some business-class laptops. Not far below is a touch pad that's been enlarged over previous Portege models, giving you more room to perform supported Windows 8.1 gestures.
Tapping on the touchscreen display is always an option, too. For finer-grain input, Toshiba bundles a pair of digitizer pens with the Z20t. One is a bit bigger and has a button for performing a right-click command, and the other is an emergency backup that stows away in the bottom left of the tablet. You lose the ability to right-click with the backup pen, but it will inevitably come in handy when the main pen plays hide and seek.
The full HD (1,920x1,080) IPS screen isn't as dazzling now that we have 3K and 4K displays, but 1080p is more than sufficient for a 12.5-inch screen, and its viewing angles are excellent. There's also a 2-megapixel camera on the front for videoconferencing (or snapping selfies) and a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus and digital zoom on the back.
On the software side, Toshiba includes quite a few utilities, including a diagnostic tool that can help determine if it's time to cash in on that warranty. Other utilities run the gamut from power-saving functionality to security. Perhaps the most useful, however, is Toshiba's Service Station, a handy interface for tracking down and installing driver updates. This ensures you're getting the best performance out of your hardware and can also alleviate potential compatibility problems with newer peripherals and software.

Toshiba Portege Z20t
Our Verdict: A versatile detachable or 2-in-1 for business users, the Toshiba Portege Z20t offers all-day battery life in an attractive package with multiple input options. Just steer clear of the 4GB model, since memory isn't user-upgradeable.

What mental health needs . . .
Published 6:00 pm, Friday, December 18, 2009
The answer to the headline is more sunlight, more unashamed conversation (according to actress Glenn Close) about an illness that not only affects individuals but their families, as well.
Do you find it odd that we have a society that speaks openly about many issues but mental illness is still a taboo? What many do not understand is that if people with mental illness are treated properly, they can be full participants in our society. That is not only the right thing to do but it has an economic benefit for any community.
Yet when it comes to illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar, post traumatic stress disorder or depression, we are frightened and embarrassed. The stigma of mental illness is toxic, yet it is so common. In any given year, one out of four adults is diagnosed with a mental illness. That is more common than many physical illnesses.
I teach a mental health first aid course that helps participants learn to recognize the symptoms of mental health problems and how to respond appropriately. It does not give them the ability to be counselors or therapists but it equips them to know how to respond if a family member, friend or co-worker displays symptoms that need some attention.
Part of the training is an exercise that helps participants see the impact of physical illness and mental illness on our society. The thing that slaps me in the face is if we have a friend or neighbor with a physical problem, we will take a casserole over to them, make a phone call or send a card. What do we do if that person has a mental health problem? No casseroles, calls or cards — only curiosity and gossip, and we avoid them. What does that say about our understanding of mental illness?
According to Glenn Close, it is estimated that by 2020 mental illness will be the second-leading cause of death and disability in our society. "Every society will have to confront the issue. The question is, will we face it with open honesty or silence."
This is just for your information. What you do with it in your life is up to you. If you would like to talk to me about this subject, I would be happy to visit with you. You can contact me at the address below. Thanks for reading this column.

Let's start the fall by congratulating all of our 2014 award winners. We had a stated mission to win in the major award shows this year, and we did. Most importantly, we're beginning to do better work overall. And that, in the long run, will only lead to more awards, better internships, first jobs and more successful careers.
Below is a link to a full list of all of our winners and the awards they've won. And again congratulations. It's a great start. But I'm a greedy guy. And I won't be happy until we run the table. That will require more and better entries in more shows, which will lead to more finalists and, ultimately, more hardware.
Here's to next year.
To that end, we're adding even more new instructors. They have not only been there and done that; but they're still doing it every day. They've all done plenty of award-winning work at great agencies, and for the clients we admire most: Apple, Nike, Converse, Pepsi, Lexus, Target, Levi's and more.
Combined with the strong group of teachers we already have, I think it's safe to say that we have the finest staff the department has ever had, and one that is unmatched at the schools with which we compete.

Managing System Power Services
Troubleshooting System Power Problems
In the Oracle Solaris 11 release, power management configuration has moved into an SMF configuration repository. The new poweradm command is used to manage system power management properties directly rather than using a combination of power-related command, daemon, and configuration file. These changes are part of a wider set of changes to modernize the power management framework in Oracle Solaris 11.
The following power management features are no longer available:
pmconfig and powerd
Device power management
The following properties describe power management components:
administrative-authority – Defines the source of administrative control for Oracle Solaris power management. This property can be set to none, platform (default value), or smf. When set to platform, the values of time-to-full-capacity and time-to-minimum-responsiveness are taken from the platform's power management commands. When set to smf, the values of time-to-full-capacity and time-to-minimum-responsiveness are taken from SMF. If you attempt to set time-to-full-capacity or time-to-minimum-responsiveness from either a platform command or an SMF service property when in the opposite venue, the value is ignored.
When administrative-authority is set to none, power management within the Solaris instance is turned off,
time-to-full-capacity – Defines the maximum time (in microseconds) the system is allowed to reach its full capacity, from any lower-capacity or less-responsive state, while the system is in active state. The maximum time includes when the system is allowed to reach (re-provision and make available) its full capacity, returning from any lower-capacity/less-responsive state, while it has been using any or all of the PM features falling within this boundary.
By default, this value is taken from the platform, i86pc for example, because the default setting for administrative-authority is set to platform.
Alternatively, if administrative-authority is set to smf, this value is taken from the definition provided by the SMF power service. At installation time, this value is undefined. If you choose to modify this property, a value appropriate to the needs of the system's workload or applications should be considered.
time-to-minimum-responsiveness – Defines how long the system is allowed to return to its active state in milliseconds. This parameter provides the minimum capacity required to meet the time-to-full-capacity constraint. By default, this parameter value is taken from the platform, i86pc for example, because the default setting for administrative-authority is set to platform.
Alternatively, if administrative-authority is set to smf, this value is taken from the definition provided by the SMF power service . At installation time, this value is undefined. If you choose to modify this property, a value appropriate to the needs of the system's workload or applications should be considered.
Moderate values, seconds for example, allow hardware components or subsystems on the platform to be placed in slower-response inactive states. Larger values, 30 seconds to minutes for example, allow for whole system suspension, using techniques such as suspend-to-RAM.
suspend-enable – By default, no system running Solaris is permitted to attempt a suspend operation. Setting this property to true permits a suspend operation to be attempted. The value of the administrative-authority has no effect upon this property.
platform-disabled – When platform-disabled is set to true, the platform has disabled power management. When set to false, the default value, power management is controlled by the value of the above properties.
A brief summary of power management status can be displayed by using the following command:
$ /usr/sbin/poweradm show Power management is enabled with the hardware platform as the authority: time-to-full-capacity set to 250 microseconds time-to-minimum-responsiveness set to 0 milliseconds
All power management properties can be displayed by using the following command:
$ /usr/sbin/poweradm list active_config/time-to-full-capacity current=250, platform=250 active_config/time-to-minimum-responsiveness current=0, platform=0 active_control/administrative-authority current=platform, smf=platform suspend/suspend-enable current=false platform-disabled current=false
In the above output, the active_control/administrative-authority indicates the source of the configuration with two settings:
platform – Configuration for power management comes from the platform. This is the default value.
smf – Allows the other power management properties to be set using the poweradm command.
The platform-disabled property in the above output indicates that the platform power management is enabled:
platform-disabled current=false
For more information, see poweradm(1M).
Example 5-1 Enabling and Disabling Power Management
If you previously enabled S3-support in the /etc/power.conf file to suspend and resume your system, similar poweradm syntax is:
# poweradm set suspend-enable=true
The suspend-enable property is set to false by default.
Use the following syntax to disable power management:
# poweradm set administrative-authority=none
Disabling the following SMF power management service does not disable power management:
online Sep_02 svc:/system/power:default
Use the following syntax to disable suspend and resume.
# poweradm set suspend-enable=false
Example 5-2 Setting and Displaying Power Management Parameters
The following example shows how to set time-to-full-capacity to 300 microseconds and time-to-minimum-responsiveness to 500 milliseconds. Lastly, the Oracle Solaris instance is informed of the new values.
# poweradm set time-to-full-capacity=300 # poweradm set time-to-minimum-responsiveness=500 # poweradm set administrative-authority=smf
The following command shows the current time-to-full-capacity value.
# poweradm get time-to-full-capacity 300
The following command retrieves the time-to-full-capacity value set by the platform.
# poweradm get -a platform time-to-full-capacity
Note that this value will only be the same as the current value if administrative-authority is set to platform. For more information, see the above administrative-authority property description.
If administrative-authority is set to smf before both time-to-full-capacity and time-to-minimum-responsiveness have been set, the service will go into maintenance mode. See the steps below to recover from this scenario.
See How to Use Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Oracle Solaris 11.1 Administration: Security Services..
# poweradm set administrative-authority=none
# poweradm set time-to-full-capacity=value # poweradm set time-to-minimum-responsiveness=value
# svcadm clear power

A Summary of options for beginners from people whom are learning to do it yourself (DIY) for the purpose of DIY.
If you want someone else to take care of your debt elimination please check James Martinez here
Mission: to help those who are looking at finding the best Debt elimination
and Freeman/Sovereign options in order to realise freedom. Freedom from the Banksters and there Administrators ie the tyrannical
profit driven Corporations known as Governments (which are corporation's hence their corporate profit motives and some
with devastating costs ie The US Corporation and the UN). We will provide many self help links to video's, forums, web-pages,
Book's, DVD's, seminars, meetings for those looking for a guide through the mass and maze of information out there. DISCLAIMER: This intended for Private

this all as fact as we are still learning as well. We strongly advise you to take responsibility for yourself and do your

HIDDEN IN A RIDDLE "THE WIZARD OF OZ [1939]" Intro
to Freeman/Sovereigns & how we got here with the "Wizard Of Oz [1939]" a Political allegory of the 1929 US stock
market crash (shown as the twister indicating mass confusion). The US Government went Bankrupt took the Gold from all and
the system the Illuminati World Banksters have capatilised on by fraud and deception and continues now. If you choose ignorance
then you will continue to be at their mercy unless you decide you want more, you deserve more, your sick and tired of the
corruption, fraud, wars over perceived/manufactured lack. These below will help you understand how we have been lead away from our rights under God/source
of all creation/Big bang. I like to think we are the Gods and we create our own hell by ignorance or heaven through lack of
ignorance ie information and connection with source. Some say God is Love and when we let something come between us and God/Love
we end up as we have been lately living in fear, hate, lack of satisfaction/enjoyment/joy. Would you do what you do for money
if you did not have to? Feeling enslaved in a system that ultimately comes between us and being in joy. The Money/Debt system
has done this so well:come between us and love. Most of us do things for money. Those that control the money supply and taxes control us. Unless we
stop using money/debt and realise there are several options further below. These links below do reveal a remedy HJR192 [which
i think is applicable to all Corporate Countries under the UN/IMF that took over the US Treasury watch points 2-4 here] that was kept from us to pay debts using our signature. This is known as Accepted for Value (A4V/AFV)/Return for Value (R4V/RFV).
We can literally create our own money/money order/promissory note or whats known as a Bill of Exchange [links provided further
In fact the Banksters have been creating money from our signature not just 1:1 but up to 100x with the fractional method that
is shown in great detail in Zeitgeist Adendum (2) here. This is fraud as full disclosure was not given to you when you where signing the Loan/Mortgage/Credit Card application/agreement
which was actually a promissory note (promise to pay). By right we should be able to claim the whole fractional creation as it was created from
our signature. We could do this by crafting an affidavit. Watch Winston Shrout explain simply the legal power of an Affidavit
similar to that of a silver bullet when unrebutted in 3-7 days it stands as the truth in the highest International law on
the planet known as Commerce in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing here on video and more in Winston's 30+hours of videos here and here other videos explain the affidavit and other legal tools a private can utilise without
an attorney. As attorneys do NOT act in the privates interest. There job is to profit from arguing in the public domain. Zeitgeist 2 shows a Court case "The Mahoney Credit River Decision" December 7, 1968 that wiped the Mortgage
debt because of this lack of consideration. This and another case [#03-047448-CZ] recently December 5, 2003 "Walker Todd
Affidavit" goes into even more revelations since Walker F. Todd Attorney at Law worked for the Federal Reserve Banks
of New York and Cleveland for 20 years and is shown in Freeman Thomas Anderson's 4th Book "Taking on the Banks"

Use the red pen to show this in signing certain forms like bills with the "Acceptance for Value" method. There are
2 sides Private Freeman Creditors that should be using their signature to offset the Public debt by Acceptance for Value (A4V/AFV)/Return

Report: Human trafficking victims increasingly treated as criminal aliens
The victims of human trafficking have virtually nobody to speak for them, no means of justice, outside of government intervention — but even that is uncertain, according to a new report.
An 18-month study by Scotland's Equality and Human Rights Commission has found that more and more, trafficked humans are being treated as criminal aliens by authorities, who see their lack of citizenship paperwork as a breach of law rather than a symptom of a greater problem.
Often times, the report noted, authorities are confronted with claims of trafficking and ignore them. Even when allegations of trafficking are taken seriously, the rights of the victims are often sidelined, the inquiry found.
Comparatively, documented citizens who are raped, kidnapped or forced into slavery receive much greater public support once their ordeal is over.
While the report focuses on Scotland and the United Kingdom, it levels many of the same criticisms at other nations where human trafficking is rife and immigration laws are tight.
"The cultures of the different parts of this world of enforcement are incredibly different," the study's author wrote. "We found that people who are serious victims get treated as if they are criminals."
"What was shocking was the culture of disbelief some victims claimed to have met from immigration officialdom, which informed our belief that there should be an independent system with a raison d'être [reason for existence] to decide whether or not someone has been trafficked," the study's executive summary explained.
It recommends that officials adopt uniform standards of what is, and what is not, human trafficking. The study's authors said that it should be possible to crack down on traffickers even more while still enforcing immigration laws to the letter, but it would require inter-agency cooperation to more aggressively investigate allegations of human trafficking.

Map captures residents' happy memories in Coventry
Residents in Coventry are being invited to share their happy memories which will then be placed on a giant 3D map.
A glass cylinder will mark the spot on the map where something good, great or life-changing happened. The higher the tube, the happier the memory.
The memories will then be recreated in a theatre show, Bring the Happy Live, at Warwick Arts Centre in May.
Thousands of people took part in the project in Leeds in 2011.
The aim of the project is to map people's memories for a growing database of the UK's happiness, a spokesman for the arts centre said.
Production company Invisible Flock is taking over a shop in the city centre for the three weeks in April where the public can go to record the experiences.
Indie band Hope and Social will then translate those moments into a live performance as part of the show.
