I believe Desmond is nearly Andrus' equal defensively but clearly a superior hitter, both for average and power.

I wrote about this in April 2013 (http://www.nationalsarmrace.com/?p=6370) before Desmond put up another 20/20 season with plus defense. And before the normal year over year escalation of salary values.

I'm a community host for TBD, a yet-to-be-launched website that'll cover local news and sports in DC, and I've been reaching out to Nationals bloggers over the past week. We're creating a network of bloggers that we think will be mutually beneficial -- we'll direct traffic to you via links on our site (but won't steal your content), and we'll also help sell ads for your blog so the majority of the money goes to you. That's the short, confusing version, but I can explain more.

Please e-mail me at email@example.com so I can give you a better explanation. As a bit of a stathead myself, I'm going to make it somewhat of a personal quest to get you involved. I'd love to be able to feature links to your posts right alongside the standard game recaps, hopefully exposing this side of the game to a wider audience.

Oh yes. Acta is the kind of the 80-99 pitch start (just a convenient way of stating it, since that's how BBRef breaks out pitch counts).

Acta is sort of the living embodiment of Bill James's observation that managers today don't go deep with starters, but also don't quickly yank starters who clearly "don't have it today."Basilhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-909819909148894358.post-55898914774576052562010-03-03T17:04:09.648+00:002010-03-03T17:04:09.648+00:00FIP and ERA tell us different things.

(It includes home runs, which maybe we should exclude nowadays, it seems.)

I wouldn't say I value FIP more than ERA, but rather that I like to see the two together. The data used to make a pitcher's projections is going to include the effects of fielders who may very well not be on the same team any more. FIP strips some of that effect out.Paul Brewerhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-909819909148894358.post-13412720128459253382010-03-01T12:47:48.751+00:002010-03-01T12:47:48.751+00:00Do you value FIP more than ERA?

 a) it is easy to calculate; and
 b) it is pretty good at predicting ERA.

You're absolutely right about the absence of the fielding component, and a better alternative would be to do as I did with Wang, and make some projection of the batted-ball results. However, that would have taken me a lot longer.

By showing both the ERA and the FIP projections, I hope that readers can look at someone like Lannan and get an idea of what can be expected. He's an above-average pitcher, but he's probably not quite the ideal #1 guy for a rotation.

Sad thing is that would still be a half-run improvement from the starters last year.

In theory it see...I've looked at FIP a little. In theory it seems valid but under some scrutiny, it seems to have holes. Maybe I'm clueless and just don't "get it", but is it strikeout centric? By eliminating the fielding component you denigrate groundball/pitch to contact guys like Lannan or Randy Jones (2 examples that pop into my head). Guys who strike out a paltry amount of batters (Lannan 4.6/9ip; Jones 3.3) and hence, Lannan's FIP has been much higher than his ERA.

I see the logic in that a pitcher has "control" over the strikeout and trying to measure a pitcher's ability independent of others. But doesn't he also have "control" over making the batter swing at marginal pitches and getting ground balls or popups? It seems FIP ignores that aspect. Is there anything that does?

I think you may have a mistake in your formula. Looking at the column in the Chone spreadsheet labeled "R150," which I believe stands for runs above/below average per 150 games, I see the following totals:

Pudge -26
Dunn 19
Kennedy -12
Zimmerman 24
Guzman -13
Willingham 11
Morgan -9
Dukes 11

Total 5

First, assuming the...I'd keep Zimmerman at #3. First, assuming the Nats don't trade Dunn, I think they'd definitely want to leave Dunn in the cleanup spot. So for Zim that leaves the question as #2 vs. #3. I know that The Book says that the #2 slot is more valuable than #3, but that perception isn't widely held by players or the public. And the difference is pretty trivial--I think that Tango et al said it was about 1-1/2 runs per season. Why make your young, star player feel like he's getting a demotion for such a trivial payoff? Plus, who else is better suited for the #3 slot? Outside of Dunn and Zim, the Nats aren't exactly loaded with HR hitters.

The bigger issue (and the only real, fundamental problem I see with how the Nats lineup has been structured) will be getting Guzman out of the #2 (or #1) slots. A lot of outs were wasted by giving a player with a .306 OBP more than 500 plate appearances in the top two positions. With the current roster, I'd think about moving Dukes into the #2 slot. With a career .249 batting average, he isn't the prototypical #2 hitter, but he's always been good at drawing walks and his career .349 OBP is above average. Actually, maybe it might make more sense to move Dukes to #1 and Morgan, who hits for a higher average but doesn't draw as many walks, to #2.Brenthttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-909819909148894358.post-8280211936955825282009-10-18T12:43:48.606+01:002009-10-18T12:43:48.606+01:00I can't say I understand half of what you wrot...I can't say I understand half of what you wrote, but great stuff anyways...

Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar has revealed his intention to keep playing for the club until 2014.
The 31-year-old Brazil international has suffered several niggling injuries this season.
He has also been linked with a move away from Inter amid speculation that Bologna's Emiliano Viviano is already lined up as his replacement.
Interviewed in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Cesar was asked to explain what it's like to be on the sidelines.
"Boredom," he said. "Therapy, always the same exercises, training away from the squad with no balls. It's terrible for me. My life has always been the opposite of boredom. And then you end up doing strange things.
"During the warm up on Sunday before Inter-Palermo, I was talking to my muscles. 'Cursed things, don't make any jokes, eh?' I shouldn't have played. I came back too early because Luca Castellazzi was injured and when things go this way some wicked thoughts come to you."
Asked whether he will still be at Inter when his contract expires in 2014, Cesar replied: "Exactly, I don't see why I should change. For me Viviano's arrival wouldn't change anything."

The University Record, November 14, 1996
By Rebecca A. Doyle
"It has just been overwhelming to think about," says Jean Magnano Bollinger, who had less than 24 hours to absorb the news that spouse Lee C. Bollinger had been selected by the Regents to be the 12th president of the University of Michigan before media began calling her.
Ann Arbor residents for 21 years, the Bollingers left in 1994 when Lee Bollinger was named provost of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. In their New Hampshire home, Jean Bollinger devoted more time and thought to her career as an artist, working in metal and wood and with plants to create sculpture. The rhythm of life changed for them as their children left for college and they moved.
That rhythm will change again when the Bollingers move back to campus, where she says they will plan on living in the President's House on Central Campus.
"We like Ann Arbor," she says. "We raised our kids here and it is very exciting to think about coming back." While in Ann Arbor, she also was one of the original four founders of the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum and served as its associate director after the facility opened.
The Bollingers have two children. Lee C. Bollinger is a third-year law student at the U-M, and Carey is a junior at Harvard studying social sciences.
Jean Magnano Bollinger says that each wife of a U-M president has done something different during her tenure as president's wife, and while there has been little time to think and talk about how she can balance her career with her new role as the president's wife, she is confident that her family will establish another new rhythm, perhaps more complicated and busier than before, but as individualized and tailored to her family as have been the routines of the previous presidential families.

Rams DE Long questionable for game against Falcons
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long did not practice and coach Jeff Fisher says he's questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta with hip soreness.
Long, the second overall pick in 2008, has posted double-digit sack totals the last two seasons and has played in 81 consecutive games, the third-longest streak among defensive ends. He was limited on Thursday.
Also on the injury report Friday were cornerback Quinton Porter, ruled out with a thigh injury, and safety Darian Stewart was doubtful.

Only £4500, to piss off every 'Tony Martin Was Great' swivel-eyed loon in the country? I love the BBC.
5 thoughts on "Well worth it"
Martin got £125,000, which goes to show crime does pay, and the more serious the crime the more it pays.
Somewhat related, the Tories appear to have gone quiet on their 'not grossly disproportionate force' Tony-Martin Law. Do you think sense has prevailed?
Actually, not every swivel eyed loon…I didn't see the EU referendum blog mentioned. Though I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they find an EUvil angle on it.
Down with bullies.
Why is it when the bully suffers you care but when the victim suffers you dont. Why what kind of derrnaged morality is that.Youre not liberal you just support abuse.
Here is my impersonation of your logic
Why dont we give money to child abusers wife beaters rapists and that will show all us swivel eyed victims who are really insane for being upset at being bullied and never getting justice. Better still why don't we give money to israeli soldiers who shoot dead Palestian children, so they can tell their side of the story and laugh and goad their victims after all all that will be hillarious to watch the "swivel eyed" Palestinian victims getting upset and tramustied and killing themslves due to the injustice. Yes bring back fucked reverse logic morality blame the victim brick wall psychos, sadistic fuickers with manipaultive crappy evil loigic, let them sneer and trmautise their victims more and more into mental illness, traamtise and pulverise the vicitim and then say well the victims had a nervous breakdown so it serves them right. And then call the victim hate filled anda ranter, but then when they abuser suffers get really upset and Yes get back at the victim
Now for my real view.
Down with shitheads who want to punish the victim.
Maybe if you ever suffer a form of abuse we'll all rember how you feel about victims.
This is a copy of an e-mail i sent on the subject of two evil snobby bullying evil elitist snide thugs Tom Pualin and Andrew O'Hagan. Why does your paper employ and listen to snide bullying thugs like Tom Paulin and Andrew O'Hagan. They are bullying thugs the sort who would join the NAZIs in the thirties. They are snobby elitist bullying thugs. Both are literally psychopaths and have commented on wanting the deaths of people they don't like for no reason. Paulin wants Jews in Israel murdered, he also hates shy qiet men who live on their own. I think i will be like that when i grow up, so fuck off to Pualin. . . While O'Hagan wants all shy men who live on their own to kill themselves because the snobby evil thug O'Hagan thinks if he hates people then they should surely carry out the punishment on themselves, as punishment for O'hagans psychotic mindset. O'Hagan and Paulin are psychotic evil elitist snobby scum. Dont give me any immoral indignation crap of some psychotic thug getting angry that i would be upset about some evil thug wanting people like me to die. I know some scum bags are so psychopthaic that they don't even think it right for me to get angry when i hear of scum who want people like me to die.
Up with http://www.netwebresearch.com/servicesview
Down with evil bullying thugs who htink their the voice of common sense. Down with thugs.
Defensive comments.
I am not on thos board for advice or to be inslulted by some evil snide snobby abusive scum bag i am hear to give an opinion. It is not my fault that there are some shitheads so derrnaged that when they hear anti abuse view they get angry and start spouiting out crap. And don't tell me some crap that my words are a rant, or boring, or insane.
The fact is my views are profound and if you disagree with me your a dangerous evil shitherad who toloarates and supports abuse, you htink people like me should be emotional punch bags for evil scum. All abusers htink their victims are trvial scum so it no wonder you htink it is disagraceful of me to have the cheek to complain about abuse and bullying.
Tom Paulin is scum.
A bit early to be drunk on a Sunday, isn't it?

Canada's Privacy Law Faces Legal Challenge: If Canadian Courts Rule PIPEDA Unconstitutional and Strike It Down, the Ramifications for Canadian and Worldwide Businesses Will Be Profound
Swartz, Nikki, Information Management
Just two days before key phases of Canada's national privacy law, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act PIPEDA), went into effect January 1, the Quebec Court of Appeal cleared the way for the province's attorney general to contest the constitutional validity of the law.
PIPEDA applies to businesses and provincial commercial activities, governing how businesses manage and protect customer information. The law is meant to protect the private information that consumers give to companies in the course of doing business. It imposes significant restrictions on the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information nationwide unless a province enacts its own "substantially similar" privacy legislation.
Similar provincial legislation has so far been introduced in British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec, whose private-sector privacy law has been in place since 1993 and was recently deemed substantially similar to PIPEDA by the federal cabinet. Ontario, which failed to introduce its own private-sector privacy legislation in 2003, is under the jurisdiction of the federal law until an acceptable provincial equivalent is passed sometime this year.
Ann Cavoukian, Ontario's information and privacy commissioner, told the Toronto Star that Quebec's constitutional challenge is "unfortunate" because it came just days before the most important phase of the federal law went into effect. "If anything, this will create greater uncertainty and confusion," she said.
Why PIPEDA?
PIPEDA's path has been fraught with challenges and criticism, and not just in Quebec. The federal law--introduced in 2000 but until recently limited in application to federally regulated companies such as airlines, banks, and telecommunications providers--requires every Canadian business to appoint a privacy officer or contact person and implement systems to ensure customer information is secure, accurate, collected with appropriate consent, and not used beyond a specific stated purpose. Businesses that do not follow the law can be taken to court or publicly exposed.
PIPEDA proponent Michael Geist, the Canada research chair in Internet and e-commerce at the University of Ottawa and technology counsel for law firm Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, says maintaining a federal privacy law is essential "because the provincial mish mash of laws that would fill the void would create uncertainty and costs for the business and privacy communities." Without PIPEDA, he says, provincial alternatives that may potentially conflict would magnify costs and create uncertainty for large and small businesses.
The Canadian business community has long supported a national privacy standard, in part because dealing with one federal privacy law is much preferred to the alternative: complying with dozens of provincial laws. At a Senate committee hearing on PIPEDA, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce stated that the business community views a coordinated national framework as essential. The Information Technology Association of Canada lauded the government for showing initiative in attempting to create a uniform law applying to all companies, regardless of their location. At the same hearing, the Canadian Association of Internet Providers emphasized "the importance of having uniform legislation, if not between Canada and the rest of the world, certainly within Canada ... Allowing each jurisdiction to tailor additional laws could create a patchwork of legislation that effectively would prevent electronic commerce from crossing provincial borders."
In addition, without PIPEDA, doing business with the world would be challenging for Canadian companies. The European Union allows its member countries to share personal customer information only with other nations that meet the EU's privacy standards. PIPEDA received the EU's seal of approval in 2002, meaning Canada meets those standards now, but a successful court challenge against the federal law could lead to a "data blockage" between Canada and the European Union that could stifle overseas e-commerce, experts contend. …

She's Fooling AroundVisitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
I'm in a long distance relationship with a girl who said she was a virgin. i found out yesterday from her dad that she wasn't (he called me thinking it was me who took it away from her). so she calls later that night because she knows her dad found out and that he called me and all that jazz, i ask her if it's true that she's not a virgin and she says it's true. she told me the whole story in two situations, one while we were falling for each other and another while we've been doing this long distance relationship. both cases were with guys she didn't really know.
we said we would do it when she came to live with me later this year, she couldn't leave till then because of school. but now i feel really betrayed, yet at the same time i can't help but love her just as much as i have the last 15 months.
we have an amazing relationship but this really put a dent in it, and now i don't know if she'll be able to control herself in the same situations it happened in before. i've been able to contain myself all this time, why couldn't she? Does this mean that i'm not worth the wait? she said the whole thing with getting wtih the other guys was just to fill the gap from not being wtih me... is that normal?.... i really need some help, i love her but don't know what to do.

I know you love her, but love needs to be tied to trust. It's not just that she slept around not once but twice. It's that she lied to you. What was she going to say the first time YOU slept with her and she didn't bleed? "Oh I went horseback riding"? What if she'd caught a sexual disease from one of those 2 guys she didn't even really know, and now infected you with it? She'd visit you in the hospital and say "Oh sorry honey"?
If you can't trust someone to be honest with you, there's no way you can maintain a relationship with them. How do you know, every time they're out of your site, if they are now betraying you? She's already shown that she has little self control. Lots of women wait until they are MARRIED before they have sex for the first time, never mind until they can just see their boyfriend. So what happens when you go back home? She sleeps around some more? What happens if you guys do marry but she gets bored? She sleeps around? And of course she doesn't tell you because we know she lies to cover things she's done, because her own happiness is more important than being honest with you.
I know it's harsh but the most important thing in love is communication and honesty. That is the ONLY thing that matters. Anything else can be overcome. If you can't trust the person you're with, there's no foundation on which to build anything else. And as much as you can dream and hope and wish for someone to change, the key to love is to see someone for what they really are, with open eyes.
I would really sit down with her IN PERSON and get this resolved. Either she is in it 100% or it's not going to work. And she is the one who has to reprove herself, because she is the one who has let you both down - many times.

Hello, Is the SOCKSfclose function still supported in socks5? The link edition failes while trying to build an application based on a socks5 configured libwww. I'm not sure if this function existed in libsocks.a, but it seems it isn't the case on libsocks5.a (nm doesn't show it). Should we remove the SOCKSfclose for the SOCKS5 rule in wwwsys.h? I tried it and it seems to work ok. As I don't have a socks server, I couldn't test my application, though. Thanks, -JoseReceived on Thursday, 28 October 1999 12:48:59 UTC

Wacky Ideas from ETech 2004, day two
by chromatic
Related link: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/etech/
Tim's keynote this morning brought up several ideas he's been promoting for the past year. There's a lot of data in cyberspace that, if you measure it the right way, can teach you intersting things.
Take Netcraft, for example. It's brilliant to map web servers with a simple HEAD request (or whatever they use). Tens of millions of domain names map to millions of IP addresses. What kind of information can you learn if you trawl through DNS and check out what the normal browsing software doesn't tell you?
Consider also programs that scrape Amazon and eBay for book ranks, prices, and so on. It's easier (though still not easy) to judge the potential audience for a book by looking at the performance of similar books in a subject area.
Microsoft Research'sNetscan performs a similar service. Want to gauge the popularity of programming languages against each other? Check the numbers of newsgroup posts about that language in the previous month.
Of course, not all discussion on the Internet takes places in archived forae such as web pages and Usenet. Here's my wacky idea, a refinement on the above theme: scan IRC channel names, topics, and the number of participants.
It's a little tricky because there are several different networks and, admittedly, quite a bit of seedy content in an ephemeral forum. Still, there's an awful lot of conversation there. It'd be a shame to continue to miss out on the trends you could follow.
Is anyone doing this? Are there other odd corners of the Internet that need aggregation and summarization?

If you've ever washed your hair prior to going to the salon to get an updo or another more formal look, you likely got a talking-to from the stylist. Freshly washed and dried hair isn't nearly as easy to work with as hair that was washed a day or two ago. Squeaky clean hair can slip out of pins and is notorious for not cooperating. Even creating a braided or more intricate look at home will be a lot easier to manage if you do it on a day you haven't washed your hair.
If you color your hair, whether it's your whole head or just regular highlights, washing daily can dull your color and lead to more frequent trips to the salon. Keep your locks looking bright and freshly dyed by only washing every other day (or less if you can swing it). When you do wash your hair, do so with a shampoo formulated for color-treated hair so you ensure color doesn't fade.
The more you wash your hair, the more you're stripping your strands of their natural oils. That's right — too much time with the shampoo bottle can actually mean less-than-lustrous locks. Over-washing can actually dry hair out, which isn't ideal. Keep your tresses healthy and looking their best by avoiding daily shampoo sessions.
Washing and drying hair takes time — for those of us with long hair, a wash and blow dry session take a lot of time. By cutting back on styling time, you end up with more time to get ready, sleep in or even fit in a quick jog or trip to the gym (or just to linger over breakfast).
If the thought of skipping a few shampoos a week freaks you out, there are a few things you can do to make life between washes a bit easier. Invest in some dry shampoo to revive yesterday's style and stock up on hair accessories to give your locks a new look on days you don't wash your hair.

" The Germans are, by the way, strange people. Through their deep thoughts and ideas, which they search everywhere, they make their lives more difficult than is equitable. Ei! So go on, finally have the courage to indulge yourselves in the impressions, to let yourselves be regaled, to let yourselves be touched, to let yourselves be uplifted, indeed to let yourselves be taught and be to greatness inspired and encouraged; but stop thinking all the time that anything would be vain and shallow, if it were not some kind of abstract thought or idea! So they come and ask: What idea did I seek to embody in my Faust? As if I knew that myself, or knew to express it!"

"Now, class, today we're going to be discussing the symbolism of the wallet owned by the hit-man Jules. His wallet had 'Bad Mother Fucker' written on it. As we discussed yesterday, the word 'bad' in the English of the time meant something that was of inferior quality, but it also had a vernacular meaning of something that was especially good, or dangerous. Today, I'd like us to turn our attention to this dual meaning, and how Mr. Tarantino played on the juxtaposition of the two meanings of the word 'bad' in the slogan written on the wallet."

"I also urge people not to bother being religiously offended, because c'mon, it's art, and stuff like that only encourages us. Honestly, though, this is really less of a statement about religion and more of an homage to that one style of religious art—the metallic, gold-leaf heavy visuals of the religious icons were what I was really thinking about, not stickin' it to Christianity with a chicken. Because...um....if this was a religious statement, I dunno what the heck it would be. Possibly "I like chickens," and that's never going to go down in history next to Martin Luther's 95 whatsits. I always feel obligated to say this, because people inevitably see a scathing critique of something or other, and I'm left going "Err....no, I was just kinda thinking "Dude! Chickens!" and that's sort of embarassing for both parties."

Jerry Wexler, famed record producer, dies
Legendary record producer Jerry Wexler, who helped shape R&B; music with influential recordings of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and other greats, and later made key recordings with the likes of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, has died, said his son, Paul. He was 91.
Paul Wexler said his father died at home in Sarasota, Fla., about 3:45 a.m. Friday of heart disease; the death was first confirmed to The Associated Press by David Ritz, co-author of Wexler's 1993 memoir, "Rhythm and the Blues."
Both his son and daughter Lisa were present at the time of his death.
Wexler earned his reputation as a music industry giant while a partner at Atlantic Records with another legendary music figure, the late Ahmet Ertegun. Atlantic provided an outlet for the groundbreaking work of African-American performers in the 1950s and 1960s. Later, it was a home to rock icons like Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. He later helped Dylan win his first Grammy by producing his 1979 "Slow Train Coming" album.
Wexler helped boost the careers of both the "King of Soul," Charles, and the "Queen of Soul," Franklin. Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke and Percy Sledge were among the other R&B; greats who benefited from Wexler's deft recording touch. He also produced Dusty Springfield's classic "Dusty in Memphis," considered a masterpiece of "blue-eyed" soul.
Trump to buy McMahon's home
Donald Trump will soon be Ed McMahon's landlord.
Trump announced Thursday he would save the television personality's Beverly Hills mansion from foreclosure by buying it for an undisclosed amount and leasing it to McMahon.
The developer told the Los Angeles Times he doesn't know McMahon personally, but acted out of compassion because helping out "would be an honor."
McMahon, 85, who was Johnny Carson's sidekick on the "Tonight" show for three decades, has not worked for about 18 months because of a neck injury. He defaulted on $4.8 million in mortgage loans with Countrywide Financial Corp.
McMahon bought the six-bedroom, five-bathroom, 7,000-square-foot house in January 1990. The home was listed at $4.6 million last weekend - down from a peak price of
$7 million.
Texas town invites Colbert to 'outhouse'
Stephen Colbert's one-man campaign against towns named Canton has its latest target firing back.
A city councilman in Canton, Texas, joked that he would "mash his nose" after the comedian referred to the town as an "incorporated outhouse."
"What does that sucker know about it? He's never been here anyway," Councilman John Fuller said in a story Friday in the Tyler Morning Telegraph.
In an ongoing gag on his Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report," Colbert has been taking pot shots at various towns named Canton. It began when he referred to a Georgia town as "the crappy Canton."
Leaders of the Texas town of Canton, which has a population of about 5,100, invited Colbert to the town's monthly flea market - which, according to a city Web site, harkens back to Texas' frontier traditions, "when it was common to trade a rifle for a good hunting dog."
'Office' actor Robinson faces drug charges
Prosecutors have filed felony drug charges against Craig Phillip Robinson, an actor best known for his role as Darryl Philbin on NBC's "The Office."
According to documents released Friday, police in Culver City arrested Robinson on June 29 on suspicion of possessing MDMA, also known as ecstasy, and methamphetamine.
He was released the same day after posting bail, jail records show.
Los Angeles County prosecutors charged Robinson with two felony counts of drug possession and one count of being under the influence of illegal drugs.
Robinson's publicist declined to comment Friday. The 36-year-old is scheduled to appear in court on August 21.
No joke: Bill Murray leaps 13,000 feet
Bill Murray landed in Chicago on Friday like he never had before - by jumping from an airplane 13,500 feet up.
The 57-year-old actor took several deep breaths before stepping out the open doors of a C-31 Fokker and dropping at about 120 mph to the city's lakefront with members of the Army Golden Knights Parachute Team.
An exuberant Murray, whose jump kicked off the 50th Chicago Air and Water Show, landed safely on a beach.
The actor pretended for a moment to stagger as if dizzy, smiled broadly, waved to the crowd and shook hands with some of the Golden Knights.
Friends asked Murray to participate in the show, which features demonstrations and performances in the air and on Lake Michigan, to support the Illinois United Service Organizations.
Once he landed, Murray said a Golden Knight jumper had tried to ease his nerves by telling him he would want to repeat the jump.
"But right now," Murray said, "I really feel like having a drink."

LEGGE COMPLETES TWO-DAY EVALUATION WITH PKV RACING INDIANAPOLIS, IN - - DECEMBER 21, 2005 - - Rising open-wheel star Katherine Legge completed a two-day evaluation with PKV Racing today at Sebring Raceway in Sebring, ...
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - - DECEMBER 21, 2005 - - Rising open-wheel star Katherine Legge completed a two-day evaluation with PKV Racing today at Sebring Raceway in Sebring, Florida.
Legge ran a total of 238 laps (119 each day) on the 1.66-mile Sebring road circuit, December 20-21. She ran in cool and overcast conditions on the first day and very chilly (temperatures in the 50's) and overcast conditions today, but still managed to post very competitive times.
"It was an awesome experience," Legge began. "I have to give a huge thanks to both PKV Racing and (team co-owner) Kevin Kalkhoven for this opportunity," she said. "We did a lot of laps and some pretty long runs and I came away from the experience knowing I did my very best," she concluded.
Commenting on the test PKV Racing General Manager Jim McGee said, "Katherine did a very good job. On the first day she ran quite a few miles and after she got comfortable with the car we tried some different things. The second day we did some long, full-tank runs. Overall, her times were competitive."
This is just the second time Legge has driven a Champ Car. On December 13 the talented and determined 25-year-old Briton got some seat time with Rocketsports Racing running 70 laps at Sebring. Legge, who earned three victories last year in her rookie Atlantic season and placed third overall in the in the standings, became the first woman to win a major open-wheel race in North America when she captured her debut Atlantic event in Long Beach. Her strong showing in the Atlantic's also earned her a Formula One test for Minardi and an A1 Grand Prix test for Team Great Britain in November.
This is the second driver evaluation test in as many weeks for PKV Racing, which is seeking anywhere from zero to two drivers for 2006. In addition to Legge's test, the team tested Ryan Briscoe, Ryan Dalziel and Giorgio Pantano at Sebring on December 12-14. PKV Racing continues to have discussions with Cristiano da Matta, who piloted the #21 Bell Micro/PKV Racing Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone machine during the 2005 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford season, about returning. Also in the mix is a decision, in consultation with co-owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Dan Pettit, by team co-owner and driver Jimmy Vasser, who was behind the wheel of the #12 Gulfstream/PKV Racing Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone entry last year, about possibly resigning his Champ Car seat. All of the above will be taken into consideration before PKV Racing's driver line-up is announced.
Pettit, who along with Vasser was present at both PKV Racing Sebring tests (Kalkhoven attended both days of the Legge test) said, "Katherine did a good job during her two-day test for PKV Racing. She ran a lot of miles and her results were competitive. At this time PKV Racing is not ready to make a decision on our driver line-up for the 2006 season. We have a lot of information and data to evaluate, which we will do in a careful, conscientious and business like manner. We will take all the time we need to make a decision that is best for the team now and in the future."
Commenting on the test Vasser said, "Katherine did a great job and she's definitely not afraid to push the car to the limit. We all watched her race last year in Atlantics and we knew that she was a good driver, but until you work with someone you don't truly know how determined they are. After these last two days, one thing I know for sure now is that she has a tremendous amount of determination. Katherine has the talent to compete at this level."
The 2005 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford season was the best in PKV Racing history. The team established a number of team records in its third year of operation. Among them: Vasser earned the team's highest season ending finish, placing sixth; da Matta scored the team's first victory winning in Portland (round #4), while Vasser earned the team's first pole in round #3 at Milwaukee. The two drivers also combined to set team records for best combined qualifying, first and fourth at Milwaukee and best combined finish, first and sixth at Portland. They both qualified in the top-five twice (Milwaukee and Las Vegas, Vasser -- third, da Matta -- fourth) and in the top-10 in a team record 11 races (in 13 attempts); including a team record six consecutive races. Da Matta and Vasser finished in the top-10 in the same race three times (eighth/10th at Long Beach; first/sixth, Portland and sixth/seventh, Montreal) and at least one of them placed in the top-six in nine of the 13 events including five consecutive races (the streak ended in Edmonton), which is also a team record.
Founded in January 2004, Indianapolis-based PKV Racing (PK Racing was established in 2003 with a different ownership group) will contest its third season of competition during the 2006 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford season. PKV Racing is owned by successful venture capitalists Kevin Kalkhoven, who also co-owns the Champ Car World Series, and Dan Pettit, along with 1996 Series Champion Jimmy Vasser. The team is managed by Jim McGee who joined the team as General Manager in January of 2005. McGee is the most successful Manager/Chief Mechanic in USAC/CART/Champ Car history having amassed 90 victories and nine national championships.

The traditional Irish dish is enjoyed year-round, says the redoubtable Darina Allen, who heads the world-famous Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork, Ireland. In Ireland, it's frequently served at Halloween, when trinkets like thimbles and wedding rings are hidden in it.

Tembusu Tree was used a image of Singapore S$5 notes and Vanda Miss Joaquim was describe by the first director of Singapore Botanic Gardens Mr H.N. Ridley since 1893. It has been selected as National Flower of Singapore since 1981.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a dynamic and living monument to the foresight of the founding fathers of Singapore. Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore and a keen naturalist, established the first botanical and experimental garden on Government Hill (Fort Canning Hill) in 1822, shortly after his arrival in Singapore. He aimed to introduce cultivation of economic crops such as cocoa and nutmeg. However, without a full-time salaried director and sufficient funding, the garden languished and was closed in 1829, after Raffles' death.
The Gardens at its present site was founded in 1859 by an Agri-Horticultural Society. Planned as a leisure garden and ornamental park, the Society organised flower shows and horticultural fetes. In 1874, the Society handed over management and maintenance of the site to the government. The scientific mission of the Gardens evolved when the colonial government assumed management and deployed Kew-trained botanists and horticulturists to administer the Gardens.
It is fair to say that the history of the Gardens is in many respects the history of its dedicated administrators. The Gardens' first Director, Henry Nicholas Ridley, came to the Gardens in 1888 and worked tirelessly for the next 23 years to usher the Gardens into the twentieth century and its most productive period historically. Ridley's zealous persistence in persuading Malaya's planters to grow rubber trees earned him less than flattering nicknames such as "Mad Ridley" and "Rubber Ridley". During the 1890s and early 1900s, Ridley devised successful propagation methods and also discovered a way to harvest commercial quantities of latex without harming or killing the trees. He advocated the large-scale cultivation of rubber in Malaya. Planters in Malaya largely ignored Ridley until their coffee plantations were devastated by disease and they desperately required a new cash crop. During this time, demand for rubber soared as the automobile industry boomed. As Ridley had turned the Gardens forest clearings and waste land over to rubber, the Gardens had a ready source of seed supply when the rubber rush came. The Gardens' revenue multiplied greatly as the region became a major market for the rubber trade. The plants at the Botanic Gardens became the basis for Southeast Asia's rubber industry, an industry that generated fortunes.
It was also during Ridley's administration that Singapore's national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim, was discovered. An Armenian lady, Agnes Joaquim was in her garden when a new hybrid caught her attention. Thrilled with the beautiful discovery, she rushed to Ridley with the plant. Ridley confirmed that a new orchid hybrid, previously unknown to science and that flowered freely year round has been created.
Beginning in 1928, Professor Eric Holttum, Director of the Gardens from 1925 – 1949, set up laboratories and conducted the first experiments in orchid breeding and hybridisation. The results of these experiments, free flowering and hardy orchid hybrids laid the foundation for the multi-million dollar cut flower industry. Since then, outstanding hybrids have been cultivated in the Gardens and received recognition worldwide.
By the mid 1960s, the Gardens was taking a leading role in the greening of Singapore. To meet the need for urban landscapes and recreational areas, the Gardens' staff became involved in supplying planting material and in plant introduction to increase the variety and colour in road side and park plantings.
In 1973, the Botanic Gardens merged with the Parks and Trees branch of the Public Works Department, which became the Parks and Recreation Department.
In 1988, a big leap forward occurred when Dr Tan Wee Kiat became Director of the Gardens. While the Gardens remained committed to its role in making Singapore a Garden City and meeting recreational needs, renewed focus on being a leading international institution for tropical botany was established. Excellence in botanical research, education programmes and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Gardens were emphasised. Under Dr Tan's direction, the 3-hectares National Orchid Garden, a major tourist attraction today, was established.
In June 1990, Singapore Botanic Gardens came under the management of the newly formed National Parks Board. The Gardens embarked upon a comprehensive improvement programme to bring it to the forefront of botanical and horticultural activity by the 21st century. Dr Tan became the Chief Executive Officer of this new National Parks Board. In July 1996, the Ministry of National Development merged the National Parks Board and the Parks and Recreation Department into a single authority to look after the greening and beautification of Singapore. The name of the authority, a statutory board remains as National Parks Board. Dr Chin See Chung took over the challenging role of Director of the Gardens. Besides continuing the Gardens' traditional roles in research, education and conservation, Dr Chin is steering the Gardens on a long term upgrading programme to provide better public facilities and amenities. New attractions, such as the Ginger Garden, Evolution Garden, Coolhouse and the Children's Garden are being added to keep the Gardens relevant as a leading destination.Under the stewardship of Dr Chin, the Gardens is geared towards entrenching itself as a tropical botanical institution of international renown, a key tourist destination and a flagship park.

Majestic mature trees are the natural heritage of Singapore and serve as important green landmarks of our Tropical Garden City. They help to create a sense of permanence and identity to the place we live. It takes decades and in some cases, more than hundreds of years for these trees to mature gracefully in our landscape.
As Singapore progresses, there is a danger of losing these mature trees. In view of this concern, the Heritage Trees Scheme was announced on 17 Aug 2001 with the objectives to conserve and to educate the community on the importance of protecting our mature trees.
In support of this initiative, a Heritage Trees Fund was established by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC), with an initial donation of $125,000. The Fund is used to implement a conservation programme to safeguard our Heritage Trees and to promote appreciation of our natural heritage. Some of these programme initiatives include installation of lightning conductors, interpretive signages, and putting in place a nomination scheme for the community.

| Heritage Trees In The Gardens
Eleven trees in the Singapore Botanic Gardens were selected as National heritage trees in August 2002. The trees are in the table below:
The bamboos, together with several herbaceous grasses, are members of Bambusoideae, a subfamily of the grass family Gramineae. At least 90 genera and 1200 species of bamboos are distributed throughout the world's temperate, tropical and subtropical regions.
Bamboos first developed as forest plants, or along forest margin, and evolved into a highly diverse and distributed group. They grow from sea level to high mountainous regions. Bamboo forms includes delicate, fernlike, tropical, herbaceous plants, perennial groundcovers, shrubs, vining climbers and arborescent timber bamboo. They share certain basic similarities that place them apart from other grasses: they have segmented, typically hollow and somewhat woody stems, called culms, that sprout from the rhizomes, the underground stems. Except for the oceanic kelps, bamboo is the world's fastest plant. New bamboo culms can grow more than several feet in a 24-hour period.
Bamboo is a principal defining element for many traditional cultures. Bamboo is shelter; it is food, and the means to acquire food. Some of the bamboos found in the Gardens' bamboo collection are the Chinese Goddess bamboo, Bambusa multiplex, Buddha's belly bamboo, Bambusa vulgaris 'Wamin', Giant bamboo, Dendrocalamus giganteus, Black bamboo or Bambu hitam, Gigantochloa atroviolacea and Bambu tali, Gigantochloa apus.
The Eco-Lake, with its irregularly sinuous shores, has a soft and natural atmosphere. Fish swim in its clear waters, and waterhen, heron and migrant ducks call this home. It is delightful to see the colourful bee-eaters swooping and turning as they catch insects above the lake surface. Of course, no visit would be complete without a sight of the black swans. These natives of Australia have been associated with the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and the Eco-Lake is a beautiful setting in which to admire them.

I.And so, at last, I am turning forty,In just a couple of days.The big four-oh.Yes, that is soon to be my age.(And not fifty-eight. No way. That Wikipedia is a bunch of liars.)Nope, not any other age, just forty.What other age could someone born in 1969 (and not 1951)Possibly be? (And please do not listen to my ex-wife, that sad, bitter woman in her late fifties.)What does it feel like, old bones?Yes, I have lost a step or two in the hundred-metre dash.I accept these changes.But if a guy says in a published poem that he is forty,As I am doing here,It's obvious that must be the age that he is,Officially.
II.Cattail down blows from the swamp like smoke,Ice bares its teeth on the surface of the mud puddles.It is fall—but not for me in any metaphorical sense,Because forty, while not technically all that young, is hardly like "the autumn of life" or anything;And also because Natalie Portman, the famous actress,Is in love with me. And why not?After all, there is not that much difference, age-wise,Between a person who I guess is in her mid-to-late twentiesAnd a person who is only just turning forty,I.e., me.
III.You walk across the room carrying a bouquet of phlox in your hand("You" being Natalie Portman, the famous actress)As a present for me on my upcoming fortieth birthday.Come sit beside me, my dear, And I will tell you about my previous thirty-nine, Except for the year when I was in sixth grade, Which is a total blank.I do remember fifth grade, when we had Mrs. Erwin,And seventh grade, when we moved to the new junior-high building;But when I try to remember sixth—nothing.Let us not mourn what is lost.Sixth grade was probably not that great.Now, and on into the serious years that lie ahead,You and I will have each other.
IV.An alert reader may point outThat we did not move to the new junior-high building during the 1981-82 school year(As would fit with my being in seventh grade and having been born in 1969)But eighteen years earlier, in the school year of 1963-64.This is baloney!Whoever says such statements is wrong.I think that when it comes to the details of my own lifeMy own word should be trusted over that of some random reader,Thank you!
V.Unfortunately, because of this businessAbout when we did or didn't move to the new junior-high building,Natalie Portman's suspicions somehow were raised,And she had a completely unnecessary "background check" run on me,And then left me for Shia LaBeouf,Who is hot right now.
VI.This poem is becoming a disaster.It happens sometimes—I get into a poem, and the thing goes haywire,And I don't know how to get out.According to some nitpicker at the Ohio Department of Education,Mrs. Roberta Erwin retired and left teaching entirely in 1967,Two years before my birth.Thus, the argument goes,She could not have taught me fifth grade,As I claimed in Canto III.
VII.Look, I am turning forty, all right?Let's just leave it at that.Critics and people in the media who would ruin a celebration with this kind of "gotcha" behavior make me sick.If you still doubt me,Please be assured that this magazine has a rigorous policy of fact checking,And all the information in this poem has been checked,And directly verified with me.
VIII.Well, it's going to be great being forty.I am looking forward to it.There are plenty of other beautiful actresses around;I may also try out for the forty-and-over divisionOn the National Professional Rodeo Association tour.Recently someone asked me if I remembered when the nameOf Idlewild Airport in New York CityWas changed to J.F.K. International."Of course not," I replied."That was long before my time.Back then I had not even been born."

Personal Campaign
Abdul-Fattah is gathering 10 signatures to
Bring An End To The Violence Between Israel And Gaza
Decree of God to Israel and all humanity regarding the killing of a human being: "On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone slew a person unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if anyone saved a life it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear Signs yet even after that many of them continued to commit excesses in the land." [Holy Qur-aan: 5 (Al-Maaidah, 32] Both the Israelis and the Palestinians have a right to live in peace, and both sides MUST understand that violence is not the way to go. All legitimate and reasonable rights of both sides MUST be respected, and the international community, represented in the body of the UN that has failed humanity by the continuance of this conflict, must wake up to her duty and responsibility to end this one and only blemish on the conscience of Humanity. The only way Israel can show that she has good intentions and also recognize the Palestinians right to self determination and also demonstrate to the civilized world that she is also a civilized nation is to support the deployment of peace keeping forces to Palestine, and not to block that UN effort.

John James Audubon, 1785-1851: the Naturalist as Frontiersman
Syme, John, 1795-1861,
John James Audubon
Oil, 1826, from Ella M. Foshay, John James Audubon (New York: Abrams, 1997).
--Audubon's extraordinary impact, especially in the 1820's and early 1830's, stemmed in part from his personal image, as a romantic frontiersman, who roved freely beyond the confines of metropolitan and Enlightenment knowledge. This portrait was painted while Audubon was in Edinburgh, arranging for the publication of his Birds of America.
Audubon and the Age of Revolutions
Brissot de Warville, J.-P. (Jacques-Pierre), 1754-1793.
Lettre de J.P. Brissot M. Barnave: sur ses rapports concernant les colonies, les dcrets qui les ont suivis, leurs consquences fatales; sur sa conduite dans le cours de la rvolution; sur le caractre des vrais dmocrate . . .
Paris: Desenne, 1790.
--Audubon was born, not in the America with which he is so closely identified, but in Saint-Dominique (now Haiti) in the French West Indies, the illegitimate son of a French planter and his creole mistress. Following the French Revolution of 1789, father and children returned to France, but with Toussaint l'Ouverture's Haitian Revolution the following year, the Audubons lost their West Indies holdings. In revolutionary Paris, the young Audubon was exposed to the natural history of Buffon and Lamarck, studied painting with David, and completed some early bird-pictures.
Audubon in America
St. John, Horace Stebbing Roscoe, Mrs.
Audubon, the naturalist of the New world. His adventures and discoveries.
Rev. and cor., with additions, and illustrated with engravings by J. W. Orr, from original designs.
New York: C. S. Francis and company, 1856. Original cloth.
--Audubon emigrated to the United States in 1803, when he was eighteen, and after a period in Pennsylvania (and a brief return to France), married and moved west as a merchant and storekeeper, first to Kentucky (where Alexander Wilson once visited his store), and then following successive business failures to Ohio (where he worked as a taxidermist) and Louisiana. While his wife supported the family as a governess, Audubon set out to become the greatest American bird-artist. The frontispiece of this early popular biography shows his home in Louisiana.
From Audubon's Birds of America, I: the Kentucky Warbler
John James Audubon, 1785-1851,
"Kentucky Warbler," plate 38, from his
Birds of America, no. 8 (London: Havell, 1828).
--Initially, Audubon had hoped to publish his work in Philadelphia, but Wilson's American Ornithology had preempted this. In 1826, he set out for Europe, to Edinburgh, then a center for the natural sciences. The first ten plates of the double-elephant folio were published by an Edinburgh engraver, W.H. Lizars, in 1827. When Audubon broke with Lizars, publication moved to London, to Robert Havell, who remained Audubon's publisher for the next ten years, through the full series of 435 huge handcolored copperplate engravings. The original price was two guineas a number (164 pounds sterling for the series).
Among the great glories of the library is the full set of John James Audubon's double elephant folio engravings Birds of America, published in parts between 1828 and 1838. A subscription to these hand-colored copperplates, engraved by Robert Havell Jr. of London from paintings by Audubon, was voted by the South Carolina legislature in December 1831. Shown here is the engraving from one of Audubon's early paintings for the series, probably done in Louisiana or Mississppi in 1822. The background is by Joseph Mason.
Not till the 1850's was an effort made to publish full-size Audubons in America, by Bien, in the form of lithographs, though by the outbreak of war only 106 plates had been issued. All three folio editions of Audubon's first plate (1827, 1828, 1858) are currently displayed in the entrance hallway to the Graniteville Room.
From Audubon's Birds of America, II: the Yellow-crowned Heron
John James Audubon, 1785-1851, and Maria Martin
"Yellow-crowned Heron," plate 336, from his
Birds of America, no. 68 (London: Havell, 1836).
--Audubon painted the birds in this picture in Charleston, South Carolina, in October 1831. The male bird was painted from a specimen shot by his Charleston friend, Dr. John Bachman, and the trailing vine (smilax) was painted by Bachman's sister-in-law and future wife Maria Martin.
Audubon's Birds of America at South Carolina College
[Edward W. Johnston],
Catalogue of the Library of the South Carolina College.
Columbia, SC: the Telescope, 1836.
--On his way south in 1831, Audubon had met Col. William Campbell Preston of Columbia, who with others narrowly persuaded the South Carolina legislature to subscribe to Audubon's double-elephant folio, for the College library. The appropriation passed in the House by only one vote. The full set cost South Carolina $925, with a further $50 being spent on binding the fourth volume. This entry from the library's 1836 catalogue shows the series still in progress, with two volumes received.
From Audubon's Birds of America, III: The Snowy Heron
John James Audubon, 1785-1851,
"Snowy Heron," plate 242, from Birds of America, no. 49 (London:Havell, 1835)
--In early spring of 1832, Audubon and his assistant George Lehman again visited Charleston, staying in Dr. Bachman's home. On March 25, Audubon recorded seeing thousands of snowy herons in the marshes and rice fields. Audubon probably painted this specimen at that time, and Lehman added the background view of a low country plantation.
From Audubon's Birds of America, IV: the Scarlet Tanager
John James Audubon, 1785-1851, and Maria Martin
"Louisiana Tanager; Scarlet Tanager," plate 354, from his Birds of America, no. 71 (London: Havell, 1837).
--the scale of Audubon's project meant that for some specimens he had to rely on other collectors. The two Louisiana (or western) tanagers here were supplied by a Dr. Townsend. Audubon painted these specimens in Charleston in the winter of 1836-37. The plant on which they are perched, the red bay, was painted by Maria Martin.
From Audubon's Birds of America, V: the Louisiana Heron
John James Audubon, 1785-1851,
"Louisiana Heron," plate 227, from his Birds of America, no. 44 (London: Havell, 1834).
--Audubon painted this specimen during his trip to the Florida Keys in the spring of 1832. The background scene, showing a reef-like key, with low dense shrubs, was painted by Audubon's assistant, the Swiss artist George Lehman, who had accompanied him to Florida.
Audubon's Text
Audubon, John James, 1785-1851.
Ornithological biography, or An account of the habits of the birds of the United States of America; accompanied by descriptions of the objects represented in the work entitled The birds of America, and interspersed with delineations of American scenery and manners.
5 vols. Edinburgh: A. Black, 1831-1839. Calf.
--Perhaps to avoid the requirement of giving free copies to the then-numerous British libraries with copyright privileges, Audubon, unlike Catesby or Wilson, originally published his illustrations without any accompanying text. However, he followed them with this separate series, in a smaller user-friendly format. Audubon's text provides descriptions of each species depicted, often with details of the circumstances under which he first observed it or obtained a specimen, interspersed with these very readable autobiographical essays on frontier life and exploration.
Audubon in later life
Victor and John W. Audubon,
John James Audubon
Oil, 1841, from Ella M. Foshay, John James Audubon (New York: Abrams, 1997).
--When his sons collaborated on this portrait, Audubon's success had enabled him to settle his family on a thirty-five acre estate, Minnie's Land, on the Hudson River.
The Octavo Birds of America
Audubon, John James, 1785-1851.
"American Flamingo," pl. 375, vol. VI, The birds of America, from drawings made in the United States and their territories.
7 vols. New York: J. J. Audubon; Philadelphia, J. B. Chevalier, 1840-44. Modern half morocco
--The first edition of Audubon's Birds to integrate plates and text was the octavo, first published in 1840-44, and reissued several times by his sons after his death. For this edition, John W. Audubon reduced the double-elephant folio plates to the smaller format with a camera lucida, and the plates were reproduced by lithography, rather than as copperplates. In the first octavo edition, the background remains uncolored, while in later octavo editions (as in the Bien folio) background color has been added.
The Octavo Audubon in Parts
Audubon, John James, 1785-1851.
"Barn or Chimney Swallow," pl. 48, no. 10, and cover, no. 11, from The birds of America, from drawings made in the United States and their territories.
100 parts. New York: J.J. Audubon; Philadelphia: J.B. Chevalier, 1840-44. Original blue wrappers.
--Like its full-size predecessor, the octavo edition was issued in parts, though most surviving copies have either been broken up for the illustrations or bound up as sets.
Audubon Reclassified
Audubon, John James, 1785-1851.
A synopsis of the birds of North America.
Edinburgh: Adam and Charles Black; London: Longman, Rees, Brown, Green, and Longman, 1839.
--Audubon's Birds of America had originally been arranged, not by any formal classification scheme, but to provide subscribers with an interestingly varied selection of plates in each issue they received. This Synopsis provided a scientifically-respectable arrangement and index, together with detailed references and corrected nomenclature.

Welcome to OS/380 - the family of freely-available 31-bit mainframe operating systems which currently includes MVS/380, VM/380 and VSE/380
If you have an MVS application that uses a large amount of memory (e.g. the MVS version of GCC needs about 20 MB of memory for data on top of the 3 MB for the executable itself when compiling large programs such as itself), then you will require a 31-bit version of MVS that allows more than 16 MB (24-bit) of memory to be addressed. Unfortunately the last freely-available version of MVS (MVS 3.8j in 1981), only did 24-bit addressing. The first 31-bit version was MVS/XA which was released in 1983 and copyrighted.
However, with a modification to the standard Hercules emulator, it was possible to create a new product (note - this new product is not supported, controlled or in any way endorsed by the official Hercules development team), called Hercules/380, to support a new architecture, called S/380, which in turn allowed modifications to standard IBM MVS 3.8j, to create a new operating system (note - this new operating system is not supported, controlled or in any way endorsed by IBM), called MVS/380. This new operating system allows (some) 31-bit z/OS (what MVS is now marketed as) modules to execute on the (still mostly) 24-bit operating system. Those "some" applications include GCC and pretty much any standard C program compiled with PDPCLIB with the appropriate options. A beta Hercules/380 in the hercules-os380 group actually allows (some) 64-bit programs to run too. Obviously anything you can do in C you can do in assembler too, so assembler programs can make use of this technique, but most existing assembler programs would not do that. Note that actual binary compatibility is provided, such that you can pick up a z/OS load module (so long as it only used the subset of z/OS services documented in the MVS/380 Principles of Operation) and XMIT or unload it, completely unchanged, to MVS/380 for execution. Most credit for this goes to Gerhard Postpischil. VM/380 was also added to the OS/380 family thanks mainly to Robert O'Hara, and as of sixpack 1.2 is now incorporated into the standard VM/370 Sixpack distribution. And finally VSE/380 has also been created.
Hercules/380, MVS/380 and VSE/380 are all available via sourceforge, in the "files" link. It is very important that you read the README.S380 inside the Hercules/380 distribution. Especially Linux users. There is also a readme.txt in MVS/380 and VSE/380. Most people who try to guess their way past the readme files seem to have difficulty. YMMV. The readme files are usually updated whenever someone goes wrong after having followed them, so please report any negative experiences so that they can be improved.
MVS/380 is not distributed as a standalone product, but instead provides a framework. It currently makes use of turnkey-mvs (a distribution of MVS 3.8j from Volker Bandke and others). It also relies on a theoretically independent party (possibly yourself) to provide the equivalent of a CBIPO, in the form of shadow files. Example build scripts are provided so that you can download the products (such as GCC) and build the required shadows. Click here for one such "CBIPO".
VSE/380 is the standard DOS/VS 5-pack plus the VSE/380 shadow files. See the DOS/VS group for support. MUSIC/SP allows 31-bit programs too, and the flagship GCC has been successfully ported to that environment, although it is still in beta status.
All source code is available, but it is generally spread over a large number of areas (since it comes from different places). Some of those places are MVS/380 GCCMVS PDPCLIB BWBASIC BREXX FSF
Being a volunteer project, it is fairly unpredictable where the next advance is going to come from. But this is without doubt a living and fascinating (if sometimes controversial!) project and anyone is welcome to join in regardless of skill level. Some things do not require programming skills such as installing products or releasing a new version or updating documentation or testing. Even the programming has a wide variety from system level to utilities to applications. One interesting area is bringing the assembler source code up-to-date by running disassemblies and doing intelligent matching.
Discussion of the 380 environment takes place here. Technical documentation and history for OS/380 can be found here. And the slides from a SHARE presentation by Jay Maynard can be found here for another view of the technology (it describes an older version though, so only use it as a rough guide).

Theo Templeton lay in a hospital bed. His lips moved to form the word that would turn him back into Teth-Adam, but the only sound that he heard was the monotonous beeping of the machines connected to him.
"You have a visitor," the nurse told him, and then left the room.
A young woman with flame-red hair, whose eyes were concealed by sunglasses, entered the hospital room, sitting in chair next to Theo's bed.
"I wonder if they will figure out that you're not just another innocent victim of Captain Marvel's battle with Black Adam?" the woman said.
Adam's lips moved, but no sound came forth.
"Captain Marvel got your tongue? Well, you might be wondering how I know so much about you. I will tell you this: My name is Angelica Blaze, and I am here to tell you that you have fulfilled your purpose. Thanks to you, the old wizard has planted the seeds of his own downfall," answered the visitor.

This past week, President Barack Obama delivered a remarkable commencement address to the students at Howard University. He had a simple message for the graduates – that every shred of progress we hope to make in America depends on voting.
He's right. And we need to make sure that every single eligible citizen can perform their fundamental duty.
Recently, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe took an important step toward justice by restoring the voting rights of 200,000 formerly incarcerated people, who had paid their debts to society.
Unfortunately, this is a rare example of progress at a time when many are finding it harder than ever to exercise their right to have a say in our country's future.
Ever since the Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, many states that used to face special scrutiny because of their history of racial discrimination have passed new voting restrictions. In the last three years, 17 states have made voting more difficult by requiring proof of citizenship, ending same-day registration and restricting early and mail-in ballots.
One of the worst offenders is North Carolina, where Republican Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill that does all this and more. It even includes a harsh new voter photo ID requirement. That only serves to create another unnecessary obstacle for low-income voters and communities of color to have their voices heard.
Make no mistake: These kinds of restrictions don't come about by accident. They're a blast from the Jim Crow past, and it's just one of many other examples of a sustained effort to disenfranchise communities of color across the country.
I believe that we should be making it easier to vote — not harder. And there are several steps we should take immediately to restore trust in our democracy.
First, I believe Congress must move quickly to pass legislation to restore the full protections of the Voting Rights Act that American voters need and deserve.
Second, we should implement the recommendations of the bipartisan presidential commission to improve voting. These are commonsense reforms – agreed upon by lawyers from the Obama and Romney campaigns – that include expanding early, absentee, and mail voting, and ensuring no one has to wait more than 30 minutes to cast their ballot.
Third, we should set a new national standard of at least 20 days of early in-person voting everywhere – including on weekends and evenings. Early voting isn't just convenient; it's also more secure, more reliable and more affordable than absentee voting.
And finally I'm calling for universal, automatic voter registration. I believe the ability to vote should be our society's default setting. That means every citizen should be automatically registered to vote when they turn 18 unless they actively choose to opt out.
But enfranchisement isn't solely a matter of individual rights. In the case of our nation's capital, we have an entire populace that is routinely denied a voice in its own democracy.
Washington, D.C., is home to nearly 700,000 Americans – more than the entire population of several states. Washingtonians serve in the military, serve on juries and pay taxes just like everyone else. And yet they don't even have a vote in Congress.
Hard as it is to believe, America is the only democracy on the planet that treats the residents of capital this way.
Lacking representatives with voting power, the District of Columbia is often neglected when it comes to federal appropriations. Many of the District's decisions are also at the mercy of right-wing ideologues in Congress, and as you can imagine, they don't show very much of it. Everything from commonsense gun laws to providing women's health care and efforts to cut down on drug abuse has been halted by Republicans, who claim the District is an exception to their long-held notion that communities ought to be able to govern themselves.
Solidarity is no longer enough. We need a solution.
That's why, as president, I will be a vocal champion for D.C. statehood.
Washingtonians are Americans, too, and it's time they had a say in their own status.
Of course, it comes as little surprise that Donald Trump hasn't given this issue much thought. Just recently he said that while he hadn't fully decided on a position yet, "statehood is a tough thing" for Washington, D.C.
Well, I think what's been tough for the District is having virtually no say in its own affairs for decades. And by fighting to bring about the creation of a 51st state, I believe we can break down a barrier that's stood in the way of progress for far too long and give more Americans a say in America.

A number of the question's responses confuse the verbal usage of "entitled" with the adjectival usage of entitle, referring to a "just claim to recieve or do something."
Its seems the verbal usage of the words are very similar. The definition, according to the OED, of the verbal usage of "title" is
"give a name to (a book, composition, or other work)".
The word originally denoted a placard or inscription placed on an object.
The definition of the verbal usage of "entitle" is
"give (something, especially a text or work of art) a particular title"
and, archaically,
"give (someone) a specified title expressing their rank, office, or character".
It seems, technically, "title" is in reference to an object, and "entitle" is in reference to a person. However, in modern usage, the definition of the words is it the same; "entitle refers specifically, if we assume writing is an art, to art, including literature, painting, sculpting, music, and dancing.

About Victoria Silvstedt
One of Sweden's national treasures is Playmate of the Year 1997 Victoria Silvstedt. She is the perfect representation of Scandinavian beauty, with her platinum blond hair and blue eyes. She grew up in a small village in Northern Sweden with a "midnight sun," meaning it was dark 24 hours a day for three months each year.
At age five Victoria began alpine skiing. She eventually worked her way onto the Swedish National Ski Team and became the fourth-best skier in the super-giant slalom among her teammates, most of whom eventually competed in the Olympics. At 16 she suffered a shoulder injury that ended her Olympic hopes.
In 1993 Victoria's mom and sister entered her into the Miss Sweden Beauty Pageant. The lifelong tomboy had never worn high heels before the competition. That didn't stop her from winning the entire event and earning a spot in the Miss World Pageant.
After becoming a finalist in the Miss World Pageant, a French modeling agent discovered Victoria and began finding her work with some of high fashion's most prestigious companies, including Chanel, Christian Dior, and Giorgio Armani.
Hugh Hefner reached out to Victoria in the fall of 1996 for a Playboy photo shoot. She wasn't very familiar with the magazine but accepted the offer anyway. The shoot took place in October, and in December 1996 she was chosen as Playmate of the Month. The next year she became Playmate of the Year.
Victoria says the fashion world looked down on her Playboy pictorial and she was stigmatized. She didn't let it slow her down. In 1998 she became the spokesmodel for the Guess jeans print campaign. She continued to work in a number of magazines including GQ, Maxim, and FHM.
In addition to modeling, Victoria expanded her résumé to include a number of acting roles. She appeared in a handful of television shows, including Malibu, CA; Melrose Place; and Ocean Ave. After a number of smaller movies she earned a supporting role in Boat Trip alongside Cuba Gooding Jr. and Roger Moore. Because she's fluent in English, French, Swedish, and Italian, she's also appeared in a number of foreign films, with a handful of lead parts.
In 1999 Victoria released her first album. Although it did well on European charts, she considers singing mostly a hobby. She also released her own line of lingerie in Germany and in 2010 published her autobiography in France.

'Drum Circle' looking for depth
As the title can recommend, this slight but well intentioned musical re-Doing of the pandora myth, conceptualized and directed by andrew park, involves a lot of percussive complement courtesy of the audience.Depending on the color of wristband you get near the top of the show, you can actually pound, rattle and drum and possibly a musical ensemble led by sister drum(Aimee muskie)And daughter didge(The particular didgeridoo wielding kim devore).
Too bad that the express feels so slack.The places past work, incredibly 2008's"The people's history of american, showed a sly in order to undercut our need for self serving mythology, this show sells basic woodstock era notions of people power.
The assembly of the evening is lopsided.The short first act is devoted to bass and devore teaching us how to play the musical resources, with the former exuding a blend of steel and sunshine usually linked with camp counselors(And i mean that as a harmonize with).Then we resign, and genuine show begins.
The issue isn't with park's reclaiming of pandora, which recasts her story inside of the mode of plato's cave.Correct on this site, as being the feckless female whose eve like curiosity releases all evil into the world, she's pulling down our shadowy illusions to show us actuality.
When the box is open, as seeing well fed faces, forests primeval and human balance, we instead see lower income, pollution and hostilities.The audience's engaging tends to be interstitial, as we give you a soundscape for the changing scenes.
The songs work in individual work records to kids getting shot on the south side, but selection jason bowen's"Sibling sun"Guide brings gusto to his effectiveness, the iron fisted lyrics land having a thud.
The reply to our problems?Just meet up and make a lot of noise and love each other turn the"Expect"Left in pandora's box suitable big old human be in.Which is fine but it's no less illusory than the perfect world our girl tore away in Where Do You Get Pandora Bracelets the first instance.
There are still cunning individual moments the sunflowers that turn into wagging tongues tormenting pandora recall audrey ii in"Little shop of disasters" (An additional show that quest has staged).And for those of us who get mighty tired of angry onstage postures a replacement of for emotional truth, it's always refreshing to see the genuine joy quest brings in calling its audience.One just wishes for part of the darker counter rhythms of past work into this circle.
In the course of sept.19 at Quest movie theater, 1609 watts.Frenz la ronde is a unimpressed http://www.milagrofilms.ca/ office drone who feels his artistic gift is being squashed by corporate culture.
After a work time nap, he becomes a vision from a creepy dancing baby(It's often a dancing baby, it's really? )Who tells him that he will obtain"Golden medallion of raw ability genius"If he can make it together with forest of doubt, the lake of little hope and the mountain of self-Belief.

Some early vow of clever wordplay("An account so odyssean, it truly missyan")Doesn't resist, but here are some sharp visuals(Specially in a performance art powerpoint presentation frenz makes to his co workers)That raise this show a notch or two above a lot of the usual annoyance poor theater production values.
