Congressman Fattah Announces $1.1 Million Grant for Medical Education at Children's Hospital
Nov 15, 2012, 10:38 ET from Office of Congressman Chaka Fattah
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA), a senior Democratic Appropriator for federal science agencies, today announced the award of $1,116,918 for The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to continue its leading role in educating the next generation of pediatricians.
CHOP, in the heart of the University City academic, research and hospital district, will receive the training grant under the Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Payment Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Fattah said.
The program provides Federal funds to children's hospitals nationwide to help them maintain their graduate medical education programs that train resident physicians following graduation from medical school.
Fattah, who was re-elected to his 10th term with the highest vote total of any House member (301,869 votes), is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and the senior Democrat on its Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and related agencies.

What's On?
Annual Activities
Carnival Week is undoubtedly one of the most colourful events in the Maltese calendar. The Carnival provides five days of revelry with many dressing up in colourful costumes and covering their faces with masks in the many towns and villages. Gozo is no exception and organises its edition of the festivity.
Carnival celebrations are tightly knitted in Maltese folklore. It has been celebrated in Malta since the arrival of the Knights of St. John in 1530, but some studies even date the first carnival revelry back to the year 1470. Up until 1751, carnival was an activity exclusive to Valletta. By tradition, the Maltese have had valid excuses to mark carnival for hundreds of years and the celebrations have come a long way since.
In Gozo, the main activities take place in It-Tokk, the main square in Gozo's capital Victoria. However, a particular event, which takes place in Nadur, defies the official definition of a standardised Carnival activity such as those held in Valletta and Victoria.
In Nadur the purposes of costume is disguise, in other words, simply not to be recognised. Consequently grotesquely disguised crowds overrun the streets; the costumes consisting mainly of haphazard, coarse guises made of sack, sheets, wigs and incongruous make-up. The local participants are often silent for most of the time in order to make sure that they remain unidentified - so much so that is sometimes referred to as the Silent Carnival. The floats lose much of the grandeur, which the Valletta carnival accords them, and are often no more than carts released from their ubiquitous role on the farms and brought to the streets of Nadur.
Within this absurd set-up it is not uncommon to catch sight of placards with ambiguous, snide remarks daubed in paint directed at both private and public personalities, which in order to avoid being regarded as libellous are often veiled reference, very difficult to gauge for first-time visitors.

This is a basic book. A very, very basic book. Did I mention this is a basic book? Well, it is a basic book.
Sorry about that. When you read a lot of sophisticated stuff on investing regularly, and then read The Elements of Investing, you know that you have to take a step back and re-think investing for everyone.
Written by Burton G. Malkiel & Charles D. Ellis, two notable investment writers favoring low cost indexing, and with a forward from David Swensen, you know that it will be a traditional buy-and-hold analysis. (Though there is something funny here. The authors criticize using the complex asset classes that Swensen uses, and Swensen criticizes buying individual stocks, which the authors use in small measure.)
The book has five sections:
- Saving
- Indexing
- Diversify
- Avoid Blunders
- Keep it Simple
The section on saving is excellent, and offers many ways that people can cut their spending without ruining their lives.
The indexing section is fine, though it overstates the inability of investors to beat the indexes. Yes, the market can't beat the market as a whole, but dedicated investors following value and momentum can beat the market, until too many copy those unpopular strategies.
Diversification is wise. But there are limits. If one is going to be active, be active, and ignore the index. Otherwise, be passive and index. What's that, you say: "If I miss by too much, I will lose a lot of assets." Sorry, but that is the price of being an active manager. If you are going to do it make the most of it; don't hug the index. But the wag will say, "just avoid being in the bottom quartile. You only get fired in the bottom quartile, so hug the index." The behaviors that benefit managers are not the same ones that benefit clients.
They recommend rebalancing, which I do as well. They also recommend value investing in moderation.
I am totally in agreement with the chapter on avoiding blunders. You win by not losing, and compound it over time to really build value.
The section on keeping it simple focuses on asset allocation, tailoring investment returns to individual situations, and is pretty basic. I found little objectionable here, but I would spend some time analyzing when asset classes are cheap or dear.
They have an appendix on saving on taxes which is valuable, but if I had been in their shoes, I would have described additional strategies to lower tax liabilities off of both capital gains and losses.
They treat international investing as a free lunch, which it is not due to confiscation, currency risks, war, plague, famine, financial failure, etc. The last forty years have been special, because of peace in developed economies. That may not be true in the future. I invest internationally, but only 25% of assets at most, and only in places where I trust the rule of law.
Who would benefit from these books:
This is the perfect book for your dumb brother-in-law (or similar) who has excess cash flow, and always seems to lose money on his investments. Given the section on saving, it could also be valuable for your spendthrift brother who is constantly complaining about being in debt.
This is a very basic book. Give it to the clueless; it cetainly won't hurt them, and it might help them a lot.
If you want to, you can buy it here: The Elements of Investing.
Full disclosure: Without asking, I was e-mailed a copy of the book. Personally, if I were the publisher, I would send a physical copy. Not that I am going to post it for free use, but I know that many will.
If you enter Amazon through my site, and you buy anything, I get a small commission. This is my main source of blog revenue. I prefer this to a "tip jar" because I want you to get something you want, rather than merely giving me a tip. Book reviews take time, particularly with the reading, which most book reviewers don't do in full, and I typically do. (When I don't, I mention that I scanned the book. Also, I never use the data that the PR flacks send out.)
Most people buying at Amazon do not enter via a referring website. Thus Amazon builds an extra 1-3% into the prices to all buyers to compensate for the commissions given to the minority that come through referring sites. Whether you buy at Amazon directly or enter via my site, your prices don't change.

News from the mazed world
Image courtesy: http://bjornrunelie.blogspot.com/2008/10/athens-street-art.html (accessed October 19, 2011)
Greece is suffering seemingly on all fronts: national debt, soaring taxes, high unemployment. But art is flourishing in reponse. Street art and graffitti, so long a feature of Athenian neighbourhoods, articulates intelligent aesthetic responses to grief and hardship. Small galleries have been appearing across Athens in the Metaxourgio district and beyond, and a dozen of them are participating this month in the international ReMap 3 project. There is an article by Rachel Donadio with photos in the International Herald Tribune, weekend edition, October 15-16, 2011 (you can find it in a library archive; there's no free online access to IHT or the New York Times). Here's an extract:
'It's as if someone asked you that you have to be a different person tomorrow', the novelist Alexis Stamatis said. 'Every artist has a dilemma. On the one hand, we are witnessing history in the making. On the other, we are suffering'.
At the Kunsthalle Athena, an exhibition titled 'Summer in the Middle of Winter' filled the beautifully run-down building, a warren of rooms with peeling paint, ornate mouldings and spotty wiring. On the moldy walls of one room hung a simple, understated image by the Greek artist Lydia Dambassina: a Greek flag folded on a desk, with a copy of the the newspaper Ta Nea from March 2010, around the time that Greece's foreign lenders sent representatives to visit, and the wortds in German, 'Alle Wege sind Verschlossen', or 'All ways are closed'.
On another wall was a clever, wistful installation by the young Greek artist Stefania Strouza, who typed phrases from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and framed them. 'Before the time seemed Athens as a paradise to me', read one. 'The Jaws of darkness do devour it up: So quick bright things come to confusion', read another. 'My soul consents not to give sovereignity', another. (p.3)
We are reading AMND in EX120 this week. It is a more melancholy play than many of us remember. While the future Duchess of Athens sports the time, Titania, Queen of the Fairies, voices the fear and uncertainty of the world turned upside down in Act III scene i. From Greece to the Globe, and vice versa.

I preface this with an apology for not posting recently. Many of you know I was severely injured in an accident several years ago and have had mobility problems since, including having to teach myself how to walk again. I had back surgery at the end of last week and haven't posted the past few days because of sleeping most of the weekend. It's one of those things I'll have to deal with.
However, I have kept tabs on our team and MLB, and something occurred over the weekend I find pertinent to the Mets. That was Yankees president Randy Levine's touchdown spike after the Dellin Betances arbitration hearing.
The two were $2 million apart and why they couldn't meet in the middle is beyond me. It does illustrate how the Mets are better than most in handling the arbitration process. Rarely do the Mets engage in the spitting contest of a hearing where the player has to listen to the team trash him, then expects him to play as if nothing happened.
Levine said Betances couldn't get closer-like bucks because he isn't a closer, and he won't get many opportunities this year because the Yankees have Aroldis Chapman. So, how does this impact the Mets?
While awaiting news on Jeurys Familia's suspension, the Mets don't appear concerned because they have Addison Reed. But, if the Mets were paying attention to last year's playoffs, they should recall Andrew Miller and how the Indians used him during game-in-the-balance moments that weren't in the ninth inning.
Too often, the pivotal moment of a game is in the seventh or eighth inning, which is when Cleveland went with Miller. Since Reed is presumably the Mets' best reliever, why can't they use him in that situation instead of waiting until the ninth, when more often than not he'll enter into a clean game to get three outs?
What's wrong with using Reed when they really need him, instead of watching Hansel Robles kick away the game?
Baseball is held hostage by such statistics as saves and righty-lefty match-ups rather than letting players just play. For a recent reminder consider Miller and Daniel Murphy. For a long time the Mets didn't want Murphy bat against left-handers. However, the Washington Nationals had no problem letting him bat against lefties.
There's just too much over thinking in baseball and I'm afraid the Mets will fall into that trap with Reed until Familia returns.

He goes too far in his flirtingVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
Here is my question. After being with my husband for 9 years, he left me for another woman. So I will admit that I am insecure. In the past year I have fallen in love with one of our mutal friends. This isn't a problem, just a bit of history on where J as I will call him, and I got together. We have been living together for 6 months and can't imagine being apart. We have known each other of 7 years and he was my best "male" friend. He is wonderful to my 2 sons and treats me well except for 1 thing. His ex girlfriend who I will call Jane, keeps sending him very sexual text messages and he in turn was replying. He didn't know that I knwe the extent of there text messages but after numerous times of begging him to stop this relationship, he just became more careful in trying to hide it. I wouldn't have a problem with them being friends, but until 3 years ago, they were casual sex friends, even though she has had the same boyfriend for 5 years. So finally I blew up and told him that I knew exactly what was going on and who was saying what and he begged me to forgive him and said he was a idiot for being a flirt, but that's all it was - was flirting! Jane knows who I am, knows that J and I are together and still continues to message him and call him. Everything on his phone was fine until I noticed he called her, only a 28 second call, so probably got her voicemail...Not knowing what to do, I threw his phone in the sink and wrecked it. I feel horrible for what I did and never did tell him that I knew how it got broken. But I believe that what they were doing is a form of cheating. Or am I being way too insecure about this all. He says he has waited his whole life for me and that he was in love with me for the pst 5 years. He is perfect in most ways except this big one. Is there any hope to fix this even if he keeps trying to do this behind my back?
RomanceClass.com Advice
He is going too far with his flirting. Tell him he is hurting you and endangering your relationship. You have been pretty good about this so far, but it is obviously upsetting you. If he cares about you he should be willing to give up this flirting. Get the message to him.
Good luck,
-- from George

What is your favourite Carpenters song?
- Print page

Not a question you get asked often, but you probably know the lyrics to most of them.
Close To You, Yesterday Once More, Rainy Days and Mondays, Mr Postman, Top Of The World, Only Yesterday, and We've Only Just Begun are just a few of The Carpenters songs that you probably might have forgotten you know.
The sounds and fashion sense of The Carpenters arrives in town on Friday night with The Carpenters.. from Kempsey. Darren & Sharon Carpenter sing The (other) Carpenters hits and mix in a little boot scootin' as well.
Darren Mapes otherwise known as Darren Carpenter..from Kempsey, explained the origins of the Kempsey duo during the floods of '94, when the two of them discovered their parents old records and things were never the same..
"The usual response we get from people is "Oh my god, I didn't realise I knew all the words to those songs". We definitely encourage the audience to sing along".
The Carpenters ....from Kempsey will be at Lizottes on Friday night.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Chopper 10 Pilot John Massey weighed in on Tuesday's tragedy in Seattle, where a pilot and photojournalist lost their lives in a fiery helicopter crash.
When John Massey talks from Chopper 10, his tone is reassuring; like those brief descriptions of what you're seeing on the flight home at 30,000 feet. The captain's "I've been doing this longer than you've been alive" tone takes over and puts a white-knuckle flyer at ease.
A few moments after the crash, Massey leaned on his breadth of experience in the air while talking about what happened. Moments after lifting off from the helipad at KOMO-TV, the Eurocopter AS 350 crashed in ball of flames onto the street below shortly after refueling.
Related Coverage: Investigators comb scene of deadly chopper crash
Massey was sad for the loss on the West Coast. He didn't personally know 59-year-old Gary Pfitzner or photographer, 62-year-old Bill Strothman, but there's a bond by occupation.
"The broadcast pilots community is a small community," he said. "It's always devastating to hear of these types of accidents."
The National Transportation Safety Board says all potential causes of the crash are under investigation, and Massey refused to speculate on what went wrong. He did talk about the roof location of the helipad, and how a pilot has "very little room for error" when taking off from such a location.
"You have to be very skilled as a pilot. It's a not a job for the inexperienced," he said. "If you have an emergency at high altitude and low airspeed, it's the most dangerous position to be in."
Massey said the NTSB will comb through the aircraft's maintenance records and pilot's medical history before making a final determination, which could take months. He would only speculate that "something happened" suddenly just after lift-off.
"If they had a mechanical failure, you have very few options," he said.
Massey has flown the Eurocopter AS 350 before, and said it's a "very good aircraft." He likened flying different helicopters to "driving different cars. Each one has different handling characteristics," he said.
Chopper 10 has been Massey's professional home since 2000 and has flown for more than three decades. Last year, he underwent a life-saving liver transplant, and he hopes to return to the skies as soon as the FAA clears him to fly.
Reflections of his own performance in the cockpit took over the final part of our conversation.
"Every maneuver you do is a trained maneuver. If you don't, you will put yourself in a situation from which you can't recover," he said. "I've been known to get on people who don't follow my directions. I'm responsible for my passengers."

Diego Maradona feels Argentina are over reliant on Lionel Messi and that they need to improve drastically in order to progress further in the tournament.
Argentina face Belgium in their quarter-final clash at the World Cup as they look to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1990. But La Albiceleste legend Diego Maradona feels that the team needs to show drastic improvement in order to defeat Belgium in their next match.
Argentina boasted of having the best strike force among all the teams heading into the World Cup, at least on paper. Yet they have struggled to put teams away so far and have been far from convincing. Argentina has had to depend on the brilliance of Lionel Messi to pull them through against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria, while it took 118 minutes for them to find the back of the net in their round of 16 clash against Switzerland – which once again arrived with Messi making a wonderful run and setting up Di Maria to finish.
Argentina have scored seven goals in their four matches so far and the Barcelona star has provided four of them, along with an assist. In fact Angel Di Maria and left back Marcos Rojo are the only goal scorers for the South American giants.
Diego Maradona, whose individual brilliance won Argentina their last World Cup, in 1986, has insisted that the team is too reliant on Messi to deliver and that they need to start playing as a unit in order to progress further in the tournament.
"We still haven't got started. They need to get it into their heads that we can't be 'Sporting Messi'.
"Maybe he can score a great goal, but if it doesn't come off for the kid, we can't jump on him tomorrow as if he's guilty of the Argentine disaster." – Maradona said in an interview.
Maradona, who was the manager of Argentina in the last World Cup, also feels that they have a much better side on paper, man-for-man, but expressed his frustration about the team not performing to their potential.
"Man-for-man, and collectively, Argentina are better (than Belgium). They (the Swiss) may make good watches but they have few footballers.
"The kid (Messi) is very alone… the team doesn't have a change of rhythm, movements in its strikers.
"I feel something very strong inside, like bitterness, rage, frustration, because Argentina can play much, much better…the coach has to impose this." – He added.

Great suggestion, jaclaz. In fact we do have at least one other system here running Outlook XP under the normal condition of having OE installed with Windows. Sounds like the perfect place to start.
Very useful references, thaNX. Being pretty lazy, though, and in line with our original intent - would there be an effective way to analyze the error messages from Outlook when it finds components of OE missing and approach the problem from that end? I know it might be more complicated to acquire the missing files/settings that are not installed than to install OE & then remove all but the files/settings Outlook wants. That is more the approach we'd prefer to take on this, if possible. Anyways, I will look into the INF & OE removal information in the meantime... B)
How to install Outlook without OE
visitor posted a topic in Microsoft Office 97-2016We know the normal, full functionality of Outlook won't be available w/out OE, but we are looking to install Outlook XP (2002) strictly for purposes of viewing/editing the contacts & calendar data. This is for a WinFLP installation that allowed the OS to be setup without IE, OE & WMP. Installing the Office suite, including Outlook, succeeds (noting errors registering MsRclr40.dll & VEN2232.olb). Outlook will not run, though, complaining that OE is not installed. Again, we are only looking to use Outlook to work with PST files (which OE does not support) and NOT trying to access eMail, newsgroups, etc... ThaNX
...and I started this inquiry looking for an existing "Outlook Express" thread and also didn't pay attention to the specific forum - so, I'll find a more appropriate place to post the question.Sorry for sidetracking readers...
ThaNX...Wow, I am not communicating well I gather "using HFSLIP and HFCLEANUP" we wold need to install OE, then install Outlook, the UNinstall OE (using HFSLIP and HFCLEANUP)... We are trying to find a way to ...as OE is NOT currently installed & we wish to avoid it completely. Hopefully we are edging toward a solution here... B)
Really? ...to read PST files that OE doesn't even support? K, thaNX for the opinion.Guess the question wasn't properly worded, sorry. How to make Outlook XP run without OE installed & without installing OE. ThaNX
We installed WinFLP here without OE, but would like to use Outlook XP (Outlook 2002) just to read PST files (calendar, contacts, etc...). Outlook installed with a couple errors, but wouldn't run complaining that OE was not installed. I know we could just export the data to Excel or something & then set up a viewing scenario with the database, but prefer to do it with Outlook if possible. Uninstalled Outlook for now, but... Any work around...a way to trick Outlook into thinking OE is installed so it will at least run for some functions? ThaNX
Windows 2000 SP5
visitor replied to visitor's topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4Yeah. I was just referring to the option to update 2KSP5 - haven't seen anything about an SP5 release - beta or otherwise - anywhere. I know that some hotfixes for XP just prior to SP2 created system references to it being xpsp2 - specifically @ reg HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\"BuildLab". Maybe the same will be true of some updates for 2KSP4 & this is one way of avoiding conflicts. Or maybe they're justing getting WUP ready ahead of time... Also on the list is Windows 2000 Pro SP5, of course.
Windows 2000 SP5
visitor posted a topic in Windows 2000/2003/NT4O.K, I've had made a couple ignorant posts lately, but what gives...
SP2 build .2179 <- RTM?
visitor replied to visitor's topic in Windows XPNothing in the EULA about 180 days or beta... ...it's not.

The Phantom of the Opera
"Being varied is something I do instinctively and naturally. I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Everything is in tune: the voice, the type of music, who I am and who people think I am." Sarah Brightman
English classical soprano and actress Sarah Brightman, who debuted as a dancer, achieved fame as Jemima in the original London cast of the award-winning musical "Cats" (1981) and Christine Daaé in "The Phantom of the Opera" (1986).
Brightman, who was nominated for a Grammy for Best Classical Artist in 1986, has sold over 26 million albums worldwide. She is the only artist to hold #1 spots on the Billboard Classical and Dance charts simultaneously.
"I don't know who my audience is. People have said there is an integrity about me and I think there is. I don't try to follow a trend. I have my own little path and although I delve into things, I stay with what I am. I'm quite natural with it. Maybe people feel comfortable with that and they trust it, so they buy it. They'll come and see me in concert. I think I always do a good job in that area." Sarah Brightman
Brightman recently presented the official anthem "You and Me," alongside Chinese vocalist Liu Huan, at the Beijing 2008 Olympics opening ceremony and will next be seen as Blind Mag in the upcoming rock musical "Repo! the Genetic Opera," due to be released on November 7, 2008.
Oldest of Six
Childhood and Family:
The oldest of six children to Granville Brightman (committed suicide in 1992 after divorce and financial issues) and Paula Brightman, Sarah Brightman was born on August 14, 1960, in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England. Little Sarah took ballet lessons at age three at the Elmhurst School and appeared in local festivals. At age eleven, Sarah attended the Arts Educational boarding school for jazz and acting.
In 1978, at age 18, Brightman married Andrew Graham Stewart, a music manager, but they divorced in September 1983. While performing in "Cats," Brightman met composer Andrew Lloyd Webber (born on March 22, 1948), whom she would marry on March 22, 1984, after he divorced his first wife, Sarah Hugill. The couple, who faced intense media and tabloid scrutiny during their partnership, divorced in June 1990.
Brightman subsequently became involved with Frank Peterson, part of the pop group Enigma. After Brightman experienced an ectopic pregnancy and two miscarriages with Peterson, the pair split up in 2003. Brightman, who is still friends with her former "The Phantom of the Opera" stage co-star Michael Crawford, is now reportedly dating Louis Oberlander.
At the early age of 13, Sarah Brightman stepped into the world of performing arts when she made her theatrical debut starring in a production of Charles Strouse and Lee Adams' musical "I and Albert" at London's Piccadilly Theatre in 1973.
After being rejected by London's Royal Ballet, 16-year-old Brightman joined the dance group "Pan's People," a staple on the BBC series "Top of the Pops." A year later, she became the lead vocalist of "Hot Gossip," a mixed dance act who appeared regularly on "The Kenny Everett Video Show" and had a chart-topping disco hit in 1978 with "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper" and later "Adventures of the Love Crusader." Brightman subsequently went solo and released a number of disco singles in the following years through Whisper Records, including "Not Having That!" and a cover of the song "My Boyfriend's Back."
"Right before I go on stage I'm absolutely terrified. My mind darts at many directions but the center of me is going forward into the performance." Sarah Brightman
She also joined the original London cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's award-winning musical "Cats." which was based on "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by T. S. Eliot. In the musical that was first shown in London's West End at the New London Theatre on May 11, 1981, Brightman portrayed Jemima, a calico kitten who is also a Rum Tum Tugger fan and friends with Electra, Etcetera, and Victoria.
In December 1982, Brightman starred as the title role in Charles Strouse's opera for children, "Nightingale," which was based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, "The Nightingale." Brightman also continued to sharpen her singing skills by studying classical voice training at the Royal College of Music.
The subsequent years saw Brightman's popularity increase while she starred in such prestigious theatrical projects as the London and New York premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Requiem" (1985), for which she earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Classical Artist, and a staging of Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehár's operetta "The Merry Widow" at New Sadler's Wells Opera.
In 1986, Brightman originated the role of Christine Daaé, a beautiful soprano who becomes the obsession of a mysterious disfigured musical genius known as "The Phantom of the Opera," in Andrew Lloyd Webber's theatrical phenomenon, "The Phantom of the Opera." The play eventually appeared on Broadway in 1988.
On her role in "Phantom of the Opera," Brightman commented, "I've always felt as if I was Christine because of her story. After all, she started in the chorus and from that she evolved into a singer, not a big operatic singer, but a singer with a pure and versatile voice which was classical."
Brightman released her first solo CD, "The Songs That Got Away" in 1989 and during the '90s, the top-selling album "Dive" (1993, her first album with producer Frank Peterson), the pop and rock influenced "Fly " (1995; re-released in 1996), "Time To Say Goodbye" (1997; known as "Timeless" in Europe), and "Eden" (1998), which peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top Classical Crossover Albums.
"When I sing, I close my eyes. If I see a feather, everything is fine. Without this image in my mind, the sound is not 'truthful' enough and I must begin again. I have to. I first had this feeling, this instinct with 'The Phantom of the Opera' and since then have always listened to it." Sarah Brightman
Hitting the new millennium, Brightman released "La Luna." The album, which combines pieces written by classical and modern composers, spawned the singles "Scarborough Fair," "La Luna" (Promo in Brazil), "A Whiter Shade Of Pale," and "Here with me" (Promo EU). Brightman has also been featured in a number of cast albums for shows in which she appeared, including "The Phantom of the Opera," "Nightingale and Song," and "Dance." She also starred in various stage performances, including "Trelawny of the Wells," "Relative Values," "Dangerous Obsession" and "The Innocents."
Brightman's next album, "Classics," an album of operatic arias and other classical pieces, hit the music stores on November 20, 2001. She then released "Harem" (2003), which mixes her operatic voice with Middle-Eastern and Indian rhythms and vocals. In the album, she collaborated with artists like Ofra Haza and Iraqi singer Kazem al-Saher. Nigel Kennedy also contributed violin tracks to the songs "Free" and "The War is Over," while Jaz Coleman contributed arrangements. The album peaked at #29 on the Billboard 200 charts, #1 on the Billboard Classical Crossover chart, and yielded a #1 dance/club single with the remix of the title track.
In 2005, Brightman released "Love Changes Everything - The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection, Volume 2," which contains songs from various shows for which Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the music. Afterward, she embarked on live tours and performed in the "Concert For Diana" in July 2007 at the Chinese leg of "Live Earth in Shanghai," and at the 2007 IAAF Championships in Osaka, Japan, on August 25. She also appeared at the 2007 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and recorded a duet with Anne Murray called "Snowbird" on Murray's 2007 album "Anne Murray Duets: Friends and Legends."
Three years later, in 2008, Brightman released her first album in five years, an operatic album called "Symphony." The album produced the singles "I Will Be with You" (featuring Chris Thompson), "Running," and "Pasión" (featuring Fernando Lima) and was very successful in the United States.
Brightman recently presented the official anthem "You and Me," alongside Chinese vocalist Liu Huan, at the Beijing 2008 Olympics opening ceremony. "Being up there was one of the biggest thrills in my life." Sarah Brightman
Soon, moviegoers will catch her starring as Blind Mag in the rock musical film "Repo! the Genetic Opera," which is based on a play written and composed by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich. The film is due to be released on November 7, 2008.

A CONVOY of pink cars will be setting off from John O'Groats later this month at the start of a marathon trip to Land's End to raise money for charity.
The fifth annual Pink Car Rally gets under way on August 14 in a bid to raise funds for the Little Princess Trust which provides real-hair wigs for children suffering from cancer or alopecia.
The rally will see the procession of pink cars travel nearly 900 miles over five days.
Since the charity began in 2006, it has given away more than 1100 wigs.
This year it aims to hand over a record 500 wigs, each costing at least £350.
Organiser Sali Gray explained the wigs are made from real hair with every individual hair sewn onto a membrane.
The wigs only last between four and six months so for a child who has been diagnosed with cancer and has to undergo two years of treatment that is a lot of expense.
Sali is hoping to raise in excess of £10,000.
"This year's Pink Car Rally is set to be bigger than ever," she said.

A Raisin In The Sun (Manchester)
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 2 Feb 2010
WOS Rating:
Set in Chicago in 1959, this slow burning tale follows the lives of the Younger family, in their cramped and tired old rented home. Every day is a struggle; from the sprint to the shared bathroom, to their gallant efforts to fill the pantry. There is never enough money to go round.
Matriarch, Lena (Starletta DuPois) lives for her late husband's name and strives to do well by the family. Waiting for the $10,000 insurance cheque, the other members are keen to see how the money will be spent. Her daughter-in-law Ruth (Jenny Jules) longs to live in a better place and like Lena is trapped in the world of domestic service. Walter Lee Younger (Ray Fearon) is the angry young man who is desperate to make something of himself. His rants are often ignored, yet he speaks so much sense - linking the racial divide to quashed dreams.
Walter's bookish sister Beneatha (Tracey Ifeachor) wants to be a doctor but her ideals often clash with her aspirations, as she feels culturally that she is often betraying herself. Young Travis (played by Lyndon Rhoden on the night I attended) is happy-go-lucky but fully aware that his daddy drinks too much.
Ellen Cairns' evocative set captures the period detail incredibly well and also the claustophobia. Lena's plant sits in the kitchen window, representing the stunted social growth that the family suffer. Buffong keeps the play moving at just the right pace. This means that the actors are allowed to explore their characters, rather than simply play them.
Fearon is tremendous, as he changes from ranting drunk to broken man before your very eyes, moving you to tears in the process. Jules is a chameleon as she too is downtrodden yet filled with the promise of a better world and when she smiles, it really lights up the Exchange. Ifeachor and Rhoden are also excellent as the next generation who witness so much pain.
Damola Adelaja is also very effective as Joseph, the character who opens Beneatha's eyes to a world beyond their cockroach ridden home. It is DuPois though, who keeps you rivetted throughout, as she is majestic as the Younger backbone. This gifted actress sparkles, showing the audience that beneath the heartache, there is hope.
Buffong's A Raisin In The Sun is perfectly rendered and it becomes as iconic as Arthur Miller's Death Of A Salesman and All My Sons in his hands. You feel like you are eavesdropping on the family, as their lives ebb away, but he fills the production with so much love and loyalty that you will leave the theatre feeling exhausted, yet exhilarated.
Powerful and poignant, this is the year's first must-see piece of theatre.

Ipswich 1 - Peterborough 1: Bitter-sweet for Lee Tomlin
STRIKER Lee Tomlin was the hero and the villain for Peterborough as Ipswich came from behind to pinch a point in a brusing basement clash.
Peterborough's eighth-minute opener summed up the shocking state of the home side's defending.
Left-back Joe Newell passed to Tomlin who shimmied and then drove in his sixth goal of the season.
But Ipswich drew level from the spot on the hour after Tomlin clumsily fouled Lee Martin and DJ Campbell converted the penalty.
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy said : "It was a good response. You just don't want to get beat. It was nervy and awful at times in the first half and the supporters were right to boo us off at half-time."
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson said: "I'm disappointed."

Police in San Bruno are asking for the public's help in investigating a home burglary that took place on Monday morning. A resident in the 2900 block of Rollingwood Drive left home between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., and returned to find a sofa blocking the front door from inside, according to San Bruno police. The resident was unable to detect anyone in the residence and went to a neighbor's house to call police. A subsequent investigation revealed a burglar had forced open a rear window to break into the house, police said. The suspect stole money, jewelry and other personal items.

Was it all so simple then?
Bodega is a playful homage to the kind of corner store that we all grew up next to when we were kids in the city. As you grow older you come to realize that there are choices being made for you on a nutritional level due to your lack of options.
For some people the bodega represents the sole option of fresh foods in some communities. In the tragically impoverished Bronx neighborhood of Hunts Point there are fenced off warehouses and wholesalers that distribute fresh food and fish to the entire city. Meanwhile the residents of Hunts Point are relegated to shopping at bodegas.
For thirty years New York City has started, stumbled, staggered and swaggered its way into the paradigm American metropolis. The Bronx? Not so much. New York City has less respect for the entire Bronx County than it does for Jersey City. Still the Bronx remains. Still the Bronx stands. Still ready 24-7. Just like the bodegas.

Joel Aguiar, director of development and communications at a Fruitvale organization called Street Level Health, has many clients who know what it means to not have a valid ID or a bank account. Day laborers are often paid in cash. No bank account means they often carry that cash around. No U.S. ID means they're often afraid to report any crime, for fear of being deported.
That makes them easy targets for robbery—"walking ATMs," Aguiar said.
"We routinely see at least two community members who come into our clinic, with bruises, that have been beat up and robbed—mostly day laborers," he said.
Many undocumented immigrants in Oakland, and nationally, do not have official identification that is accepted by police, banks or even some healthcare centers.
But under a program expected to get underway this winter, Oakland has joined a handful of cities in creating a municipal ID—with one apparently unprecedented new component. Oakland's Muni ID, if all goes according to plan, will also be usable as a debit card.
The Oakland City Council, last month, voted on the final portion of the Muni ID program, which involved securing a provider for the cards themselves. The ID cards are expected to be made available in January. Applications for the ID will be available at five non-profit organizations that will serve as enrollment centers. The cards will cost $15 each, with a $5 discount for "youth, seniors and low-income residents," according a report prepared by the City Administrator's office.

Portrush - Three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington will look to draw on overwhelming crowd support as he attempts to capture a second Irish Open title in five years at Royal Portrush.
Irishman Harrington shot a third-round level-par 72 to remain in a share of third place at 10-under par, still two strokes off the lead heading into Sunday's final round.
Welshman Jamie Donaldson, looking to secure a first European Tour success in over 250 events, carded a 69 in rainy and windy conditions to move to 12 under par, one stroke clear of England's Anthony Wall (67).
Donaldson, 36, began with a bogey but immediately recovered with a superb eagle at the second hole.
"The eagle on two was pretty close to a 'two', but it's just nice to be back in the frame," he said.
"I have been knocking on the door a few times for that first win so we've just got to keep playing the same way as I did today."
Harrington had suggested at the close of day two he would rather be chasing and putting pressure on those in front, and when this was brought to Donaldson's notice, the former Welsh Amateur champion responded:
"The only person I'm really playing against is myself so I have got to stay out of my own way and let the shots take care of themselves."
Wall, 37, captured his only Tour title in winning the 2000 Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa and since then has managed just five second-place finishes.
The Surrey golfer declared his round, featuring six birdies and just one bogey, to be the best of his career to date.
"I would have to say that round today is close to the best I've ever had," he said.
"I shot 67 in the 2006 British Open at Hoylake, but given the conditions today that was easily my best."
Wall is spending the week sharing the $942 cost of sharing a nearby caravan with fellow English golfer Andrew Marshall, but if he captures a second Tour title he will earn a first prize cheque for $422 000.
Harrington, who is looking to end a four-year drought without a win since capturing the 2008 PGA Championship, admitted he knows little of Donaldson or Wall.
"I'm not exactly sure of the form of the guys in front of me, nor do I know their track records," said Harrington, who sits level on ten under par with England's Mark Foster.
"But I'll be doing my thing and hoping I can keep my name up on that leader board and that brings pressure to bear."
And after 30 721 spectators braved the rain and wind on day three, Harrington is hoping their support can lead to a 27th professional career title.
"The upside of having a home crowd behind you is you're getting carried along and you are winning the tournament," he said.
"There is the downside that if you're not playing well you feel disappointed, and you feel like you are letting people down.
"But having the crowd behind you can only be positive in terms of trying to win the tournament, no doubt about it.
"So I would say it's worth 20 per cent, 25 per cent help on your performance. It's significant."

On mothers day we went to visit my mother but she didn't answer the door, which sounds bad, but I should clarify that she didn't answer the door as they don't have a doorbell and they were in the garden. But, rather than try the door and let ourselves in, we hopped back in the car and set off on a drive to find somewhere nice to enjoy the picnic we'd packed.
This was our picnic view. Pretty isn't it. I love the south of England.
It was somewhat windy and I got rather windswept.
A note about curly hair. I love my curls with a passion but have to admit that when curly hair doesn't want to play ball, it will go all out to fight you. Myself and my curls - constant battle of wills!
I decided to combine as many flamingos as I could manage into one outfit on this day, because I thought it was way overdue. I wore my charity shopped orange and pink chiffon scarf in my hair, flamingo stud earrings and my me made jacket with the flamingo brooch my sister got me for my birthday. I might have named it Ralph.
Add to that my flamingo cardigan and flamingo skirt with a Hell Bunny belt, eBay petticoat and my patent heels. My flamingo handbag was also with me but that was in the car.
And yes, I was sinking into the grass! Practical shoes for grassy countryside? Nooo, not when you have patent shoes to wear.
I think I need more flamingos in this outfit though, I'm thinking it isn't quite enough.
I think flamingo shoes would finish this look off nicely. And maybe a necklace. And a charm for my bracelet.

In other news, we're starting to get information through regarding this years London to Brighton Classic Car Run! I mentioned to Andy that it would be fun just after last years event was over, so we signed up for email alerts for when this years signing up started.
We entered Meirionwen in January, on the day sign ups started and are now getting emails and letters through, as the event is in June, so that's exciting ... and daunting, as I am Navigator Extraordinaire! They are the words of the organiser, not me. Andy contacted them about me getting a namecheck somewhere in proceedings, as currently it's just driver and car who get name checked, never mind she who has to get those two there. Mind you, with my sense of direction, we may end up somewhere completely different! Anyway, the organiser got back to us and said I shall be listed as Navigator Extraordinaire in the guide book ...
There's also a best period dressed competition, but after the Tilford saga, when there were very few people dressed up and we lost to a couple in uniforms, I am not hopeful. I believe I shall be wearing the same thing as I did then though, as I have a fascinator style hat for that outfit and otherwise would have to make one as I really, really want to wear a hat.
Unless that is, I can make my vintage Harrods pillbox hat work with my green dress that I wore on Drive It Day. I just had a play and not only is the hat in question moulting but it's also at odds with my today, very wild hair, so again, I am not hopeful! Better the hat you know, than the hat you haven't worn since you had longer hair and have no idea how to wear it with shorter hair.
I'm now wondering if I have any green ribbon so I can make a matching hat for the green dress ...
Interestingly, the two dresses are the same style, but for some reason, the green one looks more voluminous in the skirt area and therefore more fifties, while the leopard seems to fit more for early sixties, before the decade became the sixties and Meirionwen is from 1963, so Andy thinks I should tone the skirtage down a tad.
Phooey, now I don't know what to wear. I was all set for leopard but now have a green dress hankering.
Also, I shall be wearing different shoes as I still haven't had my kitten heels re-heeled. When was that Tilford event that I lost the tappity part of my heel? September and still I haven't taken them to the cobblers.

The problem with colourparts on is that the colour of the strand extends into neighbouring coil regions, rather than starting at the strand. If I make the coil region a little longer then the colour of the coil extends into the helix. Either way, the structure looks bad with these 'strange' transitions. I've tried mixing colourparts on and off, but then the coils are no longer continuous.

It is not necessarily so, that hacker's can't think like regular users and solve regular users problems. It may currently be the case, in general, but it is not a necessary state of affairs. The technical and engineering community needs to take a masonic attitude toward this problem and start 'making better hackers.'
Many, if not most, hackers started out as regular users and should be able to recall what it felt like to deal with the recalcitrant machine: I can certainly recall the feeling of helplessness I experienced for the first few years I used unix, and I try to channel that feeling into my programs and documentation.
The disciplines of user-interface design and HCI (human-computer interaction), at their best, are attempts to focus the attention of technical people on the problems and perceptions of non-technical users. If you, as a software developer, can manage to think like a non-technical user, even if only occasionally, you will have gone a long way toward making better programs. Of course, the requirement for user reviews and focus groups is an admission that such focus is difficult to maintain, and that formal processes may be required as occasional reminders.
Still, as a hacker, it should not be so difficult to put yourself in other peoples' shoes. In the commercial environment you may have to ignore some things in the interest of meeting a deadline or a budget, but the private hacker has no such limitations. It requires only a change of attitude, not of constitution. I simply don't believe that hackers are inately incapable of thinking like non-technical users, only that they are unaccustomed to it.
To bring this back on topic, there are a few books that I like for discussing user interface design:
- 'Tog on Interface' and 'Tog on Software Design' by Bruce Tognazinni
- 'The Elements of Programming Style' by Kernighan and Plauger chapter 5 on input and output
- 'The Practice of Programming' by Kernighan and Pike chapter 4 on interfaces (last part on user interfaces)
- 'Programming as if People Mattered' by Nathaniel Borenstein
- 'The Humane Interface'
by Jef Raskin
- Jeff Dutky

Black Fast
Terms Of Surrender
September 2015
Released: 2015, eOne Music
Rating: 2.5/5
Reviewer: Peter Atkinson
Does the world really need another re-thrash band? Probably not. But they do just keep right on coming, even though the wave of revivalism seemed to have crested a while back.
St. Louis quartet Black Fast have actually been kicking around for a few years now, having independently released an EP and a full-length in 2011 and 2013, respectively. But they finally scored a label deal last year and thus here we are with their second album, Terms Of Surrender, which was just issued on eOne Music.
To their credit, the band do a better job than most at taking the rudiments of vintage thrash and at least trying to put their own spin on it instead of merely aping old Exodus or Nuclear Assault. Despite coming out of the gate with "The Keep" and its clipped Megadethy riffing and chugging pace, Black Fast quickly take things in a more blackened direction, a la Skeletonwitch, with the tremolo-y hue of "To Propagate The Void." It's an effect they keep going back to, and is something they do with some aplomb on tracks like "I Conspire" and "Vacuous Idol."
The blackened splashes bring some welcome depth to Black Fast's full-frontal delivery, as does the sensational soloing and clever flourishes of guitarist Trevor Johanson. This is a band that, with momentary exceptions like the intro and outro to "The Coming Swarm," essentially travels at one speed – fittingly, fast - and their single-mindedness often comes at the expense of variety.
This is especially true of Aaron Akin's ragged, atonal shouting, which grows quite tedious over the long haul as his pitch and breathless cadence rarely, if ever, waver. Indeed, most of the album's more memorable moments come when his mouth is closed.
Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan gives the album a fairly typical raw, dirty re-thrash production job, but he leaves just enough room for the lead breaks to rise above the din and Ryan Thompson's fluid basslines to run and rumble underneath for some rhythmic flair. And that's pretty much the storyline with Terms of Surrender. There is just enough "something extra" here to make it stand out from the ordinary – just not very far.

(This article was originally published at R – Xi'an's Og, and syndicated at StatsBlogs.)
While the Riddler puzzle this week was anticlimactic, as it meant filling all digits in the above division towards a null remainder, it came as an interesting illustration of how different division is taught in the US versus France: when I saw the picture above, I had to go and check an American primary school on-line introduction to division, since the way I was taught in France is something like that
with the solution being that 12128316 = 124 x 97809… Solved by a dumb R exploration of all constraints:
for (y in 111:143) for (z4 in 8:9) for (oz in 0:999){ z=oz+7e3+z4*1e4 x=y*z digx=digits(x) digz=digits(z) if ((digz[2]==0)&(x>=1e7)&(x<1e8)){ r1=trunc(x/1e4)-digz[5]*y if ((digz[5]*y>=1e3)&(digz[4]*y<1e4) &(r1>9)&(r1<100)){ r2=10*r1+digx[4]-7*y if ((7*y>=1e2)&(7*y<1e3)&(r2>=1e2)&(r2<1e3)){ r3=10*r2+digx[3]-digz[3]*y if ((digz[3]*y>=1e2)&(digz[3]*y<1e3)&(r3>9)&(r3<1e2)){ r4=10*r3+digx[2] if (r4<y) solz=rbind(solz,c(y,z,x)) }}}}
Looking for a computer-free resolution, the constraints on z exhibited by the picture are that (a) the second digit is 0 and the fourth digit is 7. Moreover, the first and fifth digits are larger than 7 since y times these digits is a four-digit number. Better, since the second subtraction from a three-digit number by 7y returns a three-digit number and the third subtraction from a four-digit number by ny returns a two-digit number, n is larger than 7 but less than the first and fifth digits. Ergo, z is necessarily 97809! Furthermore, 8y<10³ and 9y≥10³, which means 111<y<125. Plus the constraint that 1000-8y≤99 implies y≥112. Nothing gained there! This leaves 12 values of y to study, unless there is another restriction I missed…

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Use your favourite RSS aggregator to stay in touch with the latest commands. There are feeds mirroring the 3 Twitter streams as well as for virtually every other subset (users, tags, functions,…):
Subscribe to the feed for:
convert a unix timestamp to a human readable format.
You can use the command "full" not only with one item, with items with diferent paths, and with relatives and absolute paths.
Had trouble with the other function, because of missing semicolons. (According to my bash on OS X)
This shows all process (-e) and threads (-L) in full format (-F)
forgot to use a pv or rsync and want to know how much has been copied.
Should be the notify-send package installed
Grab the RSS link to the Picasa album. Feed it to the script when its hungry. When its done writing the shopping list, just use
wget -c -i wgetlist
to get your stuff.
sudo is optional, but to find out about all files, it is nice, or else run as superuser, ie: su -c 'du -sm * | sort -n'
This command will :
-Archive all *.dmp files individually (one file per archive) from current directory .
-Delete original file after has been compressed.
Encrypt any text to MD5 , replace text with the string you want to convert to MD5
This will create a new file with proper code formatting and all comments removed.
Script has to be modified to be executable! SRC and DEST a relative unix path, olds and news are the terms to be modified.
Very helpful to sync source folders present in different SCM.
If you dont like this one, just use rsync...
Generate a Netscape cookies file to use with Python's mechanize.
Shows the ?rendering? for each of the 256 colours in both the bold and normal variant. Using seq is helpful to get even lines, passing $((COLUMNS*2)) to column sort-of-handles the nonprintable characters.
`pwd` returns the current path
`grep -o` prints each slash on new line
perl generates the paths sequence: './.', './../.', ...
`readlink` canonicalizes paths (it makes the things more transparent)
`xargs -tn1` applies chmod for each of them. Each command applied is getting printed to STDERR.
This command will show the sum total of memory used in gigabytes by a program that spawns multiple instances of itself. Replace chrome with whatever program's memory usage you are investigating. This command is rather useless on software that only spawns a single instance of itself.
This shows the the filenames of tail output in color. Helpful if you have many log files to tail
If your CVS server has moved, here's a way to update your CVS Root files throughout your code tree without checking out a new copy of your files.
Ever had a file with a list of numbers you wanted to add, use:
cat file | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/+/g' | bc
Extremely useful to maintain backups if you're using Dropbox. This mirrors the entire directory structure and places symlinks in each to the original file. Instead of copying over the data again to the ~/Dropbox folder creating a symbolic link tree is much more sensible in terms of space usage.
This has to be supplemented by another script that removes dead symlinks in the Dropbox folder which point to files that have been moved/removed.
find -L ./ -type l -delete
And then removing empty directories
find ./ -type d -exec rmdir 2>/dev/null {} \;
**Actually after some finding I found lndir which creates symbolic trees but it wasn't in the Arch repos so.. ;)

The P.E.I. Humane Society has been chosen as a test case for a new, more efficient model of adopting out cats.
The humane society says two-thirds of the animals it helps are cats.
Dr. Kate Hurley from the University of California is the lead on a project called Capacity for Care for Cats. It's a model to help move cats through a shelter more quickly and avoid having to put down as many animals.
P.E.I. was chosen as a test case to adopt this model through the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies.
It says it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it hopes to increase cat adoptions significantly through making some simple changes.
