Newsweek: Closing the Books? (Public Library Funding)
Libraries across the U.S. are facing funding crises as they become the latest victims of the recession.
We've heard just about all of this before but we will add this article for our record.
From the Article:
A study by the Institute of Museum and Library Services released in June found a 20 percent increase in library use over the last decade. And because libraries are often the only source, or one of a very few, for free Internet access and job counseling, the trend is only increasing during the recession, the ALA says. Anecdotal evidence suggests greater numbers of job seekers using library computers to look for jobs, write résumés, and seek advice. Theres also research that suggests that libraries contribute significantly to the prosperity of their communities, offering up to 800 percent return on investment for taxpayer dollars in job creation, productivity, and personal incomes
Access the Complete Article
Source: Newsweek
See Also: From an ALA Summary
...libraries have expanded available technology resources and public demand has climbed, budget declines are leading libraries to close their doors more often and reduce the number of staff available to assist library patrons.

Opponents of proposed Ark. coal-fired plant file appeal
Published 6:00 pm, Tuesday, January 29, 2008
Opponents of a proposed $1.3 billion coal-fired power plant in southwest Arkansas have filed an appeal, seeking to overturn a regulatory decision that allows the project.
The group of Hempstead County landowners who objected to Southwestern Electric Power Co.'s plans for the 600-megawatt plant filed the appeal Tuesday with the state Court of Appeals.
The group argued that the Arkansas Public Service Commission's 2-1 decision in November "is not supported by substantial evidence." Among other objections, opponents say the plant would contribute to degradation of the environment.
"The total cost to society of the plant is too large to justify its construction," Larry Chisenhall, attorney for the property owners, said in the appeal.
Stephen Cuffman, an attorney for SWEPCO, had not seen the appeal and declined to comment.
SWEPCO, a subsidiary of American Electric Power, argues that the plant is needed to provide electricity to 111,000 customers in Arkansas, as well as some of its 340,000 customers in Texas and Louisiana. The utility hopes to open the plant in 2011.
SWEPCO also is seeking an air-quality permit from the state Department of Environmental Quality and approval from Louisiana and Texas regulators.
An administrative law judge in Texas has recommended that the plan be rejected. SWEPCO has said it will proceed with the project even if it doesn't get final approval from Texas regulators.

David Collier, the embattled chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board, will face tough questioning from representatives of the 18 first-class counties at a meeting of the ECB executive committee on Friday morning following the board's decision to cease relations with Sir Allen Stanford.
Stanford was yesterday accused of an $8bn (£5.6bn) fraud by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and although the counties have received £50,000 each following England's participation in the Stanford Super Series in November, there is now concern about the implications for future funding.
"We've asked representations to be made at the meeting so that we can get confirmation about the implications, especially the financial ones," said the Yorkshire chief executive, Stewart Regan. "No one has seen the Stanford deal. We are aware that monies are due to come in and we are keen to understand the implications for funds going forwards. We're hopeful of getting an answer."
The counties are due to be represented by Lancashire and Essex, who will ask Collier and the ECB's finance director, Brian Havill, to explain where the allegations against Stanford leave the domestic game. Funds had been expected not just from the Super Series but also from the Twenty20 Quadrangular Tournament scheduled for Lord's in May, and there were hopes that Stanford would help bankroll an English Premier League, starting in 2010.
"Like everyone else, we only heard the news yesterday and we're looking for clarity on some questions," said Regan.

New Paramount Theme Park in Korea to Offer 'The Norbit Adventure' and Other Fine Attractions
There has been no shortage of potential cross-pollenation opportunities for Paramount Pictures over its 90 years in business, but for sheer monolithic stature and creative promise, nothing tweaks our loins quite like the just-announced Paramount Movie Park Korea. While we're mildly disappointed to hear that the park is slated for Seoul and not Pyongyang (tell us you wouldn't have been first in line for "Kim Jong Il's Marathon Man Experience"), we're glad to see the studio back in the theme-park business and eager to have a go at the 30-plus attractions planned for a 2011 opening.
Some film tie-ins (Mission: Impossible, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) have already been announced, but a half-dozen more rumored attractions trickling out of Paramount HQ have us even more jacked:
—The Sonny Corleone Tollbooth Adventure: Buckle up and grab the phone — it's your sister Connie! Her husband's got the belt again! Swoop down the New Jersey turnpike at speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour before plunging almost 300 feet into a hail of ice water and shrieks. On your way out, purchase your photo with optional Marlon Brando Sobbing Picture Frame™: "Look how they massacred my boy!"
—The "Ow Shia's Balls" Jungle Coaster: Settle in for the ride of your crotch's life as you straddle vehicles on two tracks through the Peruvian rainforest, just like the the young hero from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Don't let the spiky jungle cacti thwacking your genitals distract you as you battle an animatronic Soviet swordstress and her Commie henchmen — it's either your balls or America, kid!
—Ash Wednesday Eye-Lift Experience: Go under the knife just like desperate housewife Liz Taylor did in her forgotten 1973 melodrama, and then leave the park with a younger date than you arrived with.
—Ripley's Believe or Not Development Vortex: See how exactly how movies aren't made as cuddly Paramount mascot Jim Carrey guides guests on a winding backlot tour of production meetings, script revisions, salary haggles and other rollicking studio inertia.
—There Will Be Fun! Daniel Plainview Musical Revue: Relive the joy and wonder of There Will Be Blood with sociopathic oil baron Plainview and your entire family. The entire history of California oil drilling gets the stage treatment with numbers including "Bastard in a Basket," "Give Me the Blood, Eli" and the famous show-stopper "(I Drink Your) Milkshake."
—Sumner Redstone: The Ride: Climb 350 feet over Seoul before a wizened finger brushes you into a terrifying freefall back to Earth. (Sorry kids! You must be taller than Tom Cruise to ride.)
Let us know if you've heard about any others!

Chapter 1 : All the Small Things
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
"Cho, darling, you must eat something."
"Not hungry."
"Biscuit, then?" Mother's voice said, and a plate with two biscuits appeared in front of Cho's face. "Or pumpkin juice, dear?"
Cho stared blankly at the flowery tapestry, the shadows of the willow tree outside casting beautiful shapes across it. She merely shook her head once, and wiated until Mother had left the room quietly, before sighing. It had been almost two months now - two months, since Cedric Diggory had been killed. Or murdered - Cho wasn't sure which was the correct term. A murder was something that was planned, whereas 'being killed' meant something unplanned. She had no idea of what had happened to Cedric, how he had died - she just knew that he was gone. No one wanted to share any details with her - mainly because no one else knew any details, and those few ones who did, didn't want to tell her. Not that Cho had really made an effort to discuss it any further, of course.
At first, she had been confused. 'Dead? What do you mean someone's dead? Who? Who!? Cedric? C-Cedric? Cedric is dead?' Then, it had hit her, when she had seen Mr Diggory cry over his son's dead body. She had cried nonstop for days, until there were no tears left anymore. How could she not? Hadn't Cedric promised to be back soon? Hadn't he handed her a note, only moments before entering the maze, that they would go on a date? It was a promise to come back, to return to her.
But what had he done instead? He hadn't returned.
Most people said Cho had overreacted. A few vicious rumors went around, that they hadn't even dated a long time, that they didn't have anything serious going on. Was love really measured in time, how long you've known each other?
It was true, though. They hadn't known each other for long, but there was certainly a connection. The way Cedric looked at her, stared at her, and talked to her made her blush and feel weird inside. It was all the small things, actually, that had eventually made her like him - even love him, in the end.
The worst part was the 'what could've been'. If he hadn't died - what would it have been like? Winning the tournament - Cho didn't care about that. She still would've seen him as a champion. What would the first date have been like? Awkward, maybe. They would probably grow closer with each other. Eventually, they would be so close that they could argue about anything, before making up again. They would go through rough times after his graduation, and having difficulties remaining close with the great distance between them.
Would he come to visit her during Hogsmeade weekends? Owling each other all the time, missing each other, and looking forward to Hogsmeade weekends and the dates. Every meeting would be special. Would he buy her flowers, or chocolate? Probably not both, though. Too much was just too much. Maybe some nice necklace? A locket with his picture would be nice, too.
After her graduation, they would be togetehr all the time, maybe even moving in together. A small apartment somewhere in London, where they could still be in contact with both worlds - Muggle and Magical.
If things got rough, they would take a break from each other. Not for a long time, though - long enough to realize how much they loved each other. Then, when she least expected it, he would probably propose. He just seemed to be that type of guy to just spring the question on a girl. The question written on the sky with fireworks, a ring hidden in the cake in a nice restaurant, a huge banner in the sky - it seemed like something he would do.
Cho had always wanted to have many children. After a few years of marriage, they would probably have their first child. Three children sounded like a nice number - two boys, and one girl. The girl would, of course, be a total princess, and a daddy's girl. The boys would protect her all the time, and look out for her at Hogwarts, where they would all make many friends.
After seeing all their children graduate, and start their own families, she could just concentrate on growing old together with Cedric. Having worked almost all their life, it would be an easy choice to retire with old age. Maybe move to the countryside, where their children - along with children of their own! - would visit them on special occasions. Just sitting there on the porch, old and wrinkly, but not regretting the wrinkles. They would age gracefully, and regret nothing. They would reminisce on their Hogwarts days, the Triwizard Tournament, and how exciting it had all been. They would wonder what happened to their friends, if they were as happy as they were.
When the time came to depart from this world, the other was to follow soon. A life without your soulmate just didn't seem like a life at all. Then, they would be happy together in heaven, and watch their children live just as happily as they had lived.
A tear rolled down Cho's cheek, and she let out a little sniffle. She slowly got up, and walked over to the window. The ground looked so far away. It would probably hurt... a lot - but she wasn't scared. Cho swallowed hard, as she turned her dark eyes up towards the blue sky. She felt the warm sun kiss her face, as she closed her eyes with a smile.
"It would've been lovely," she whispered. "All the small things we could've had..."
He had left her behind - but she would follow him soon...
A/N: Ahhh, it's been FOREVER since I wrote a one-shot - and first one about THIS couple. I hope you liked it! :)

Breaking: Peter Braunstein Deranged, Fat
In a delightful fit of nostalgia, the Daily News skips over to Rikers for an exclusive interview with former Voice/WWD scribe and fake firefighter/rapist Peter Braunstein. Yet in terms of quotables from the interview, the Daily News comes up incredibly short: Braunstein remembers the incident as a "blur" and he readily admits, "I'm the raving lunatic." And, in case you're wondering how Braunstein's doing otherwise (remarkably, we weren't), he's looking way too "pudgy" to pull off those heels and fur coat that he stole from his victim.

The worst TNG episodes
We had a Watch the First Episode Party for TNG. The consensus of the attendees was that it was perhaps the worst hour of television we'd ever seen. Bones' cameo excepted, the first episode was so very horrible that I never watched another one.
Looking back on it now, it was a foreshadowing of the disappointment of The Phantom Menace.
The first season was bad, no doubt. However none of the ones mentioned in the article are the worst. None of them even come close. Take a look at the data, courtesy the story from yesterday about visualized TV show rankings over time. There is one outlier that stands out below all the rest: the last episode of season 2: Shades of Gray. Despite the woeful connotations of that phrase today, this was long before the prose porn novel. No, what makes this episode so bad is that it a dreaded clip show.
Darmok? Burn in Gre'Thor hipster scum!
I read this list when it came out, and all I could think was, "Man, these guys are way off base!"
"Masks" was a fun Data episode; "Angel One," with its Riker man-cleavage, was a useful (if not terribly deep) satire of 20th century patriarchal society; "The Naked Now" was a throwback to the original series and can only be considered terrible if you hate that series; "Emergence" didn't really fit in with the lore of the show, but was an interesting premise; "Journey's End" made 24th century geopolitics (astro-politics?) relateable to the audience; "Darmok" is beloved by everyone who isn't himself an emotionless android, and doesn't need defending.
The Space Irish episode? Fine. But they didn't even MENTION Space Africa! ("Code of Honor") So off-base...
Darmok? Seriously? Then again I also liked Rascals so what do I know.
Also looking at that data chart posted by derioderio above, apparently imdb people prefer Code of Racist Honor (also missing from the ars technica list) to the always fun Sub Rosa In Brigadoon In Space With Ghost(alien)s? Mind you that probably says more about imdb than anything else.
Usually they do a clip show to stay within their budget at the end of the season – and yep, Wikipedia says they overspent on "Elementary, Dear Data" (Moriarty wants out of the holodeck) and "Q Who" (which introduced the Borg), and Paramount rode them hard to stay within their means. As far as I'm concerned, that plus the fact they never did it again and It Was The Eighties gives them a pass...which they needed after "Code of Honor".
I have no sympathy for Darmok haters.
What about "The Child"? I think it's the first of many times when Troi gets space-raped in one form or another. It's pretty gross.
I liked "Rascals" too. It was undeniably silly, but they got talented enough child actors to make it work. I was laughing out loud as kid Picard struggled to put on a convincing temper tantrum.
Also seconding the vote for "Shades of Grey" as worst episode.
I had the same objection the first time I saw it. The second time was different. Then, the third. How much you enjoy Darmok is entirely dependent on your worldview. Literalists have the same complaint as the author.
Oh G-d. All of them, ever? I guess if I had to narrow it down, I would say any of the "holodeck something or other goes haywire, thus trapping the crew in a period costume drama from the Wild West/Victorian Era/Whatver." I mean, you think they would either shut the fucking holodeck down at some point, or prohibit personal use, or SOMETHING.
It's like they just stopped caring after a certain point: "Oh, shit, man, another season? Well, we can do at least 5 shitty Holodeck episodes, so that's 5 down; we'll figure out the plot later. Oh, yeah, and something poignant regarding Data's humanity is good for 2, even 3 if we make it a 2-parter."
And for me the worst episode was the naked one. Firstly, yeah, android subject to hallucinogenic water even though he's like, you know, an ANDROID? Also, what really got me was that they said they couldn't find any evidence in the Starfleet records of a similar incident--BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO SEARCH THE RECORDS. Dude, we were able to run searches like that when the episode came out via GopherFTP for chrissakes.
The only thing worse than the worst TNG episode was Voyager, ALL OF IT. Oh did I fucking hate Voyager.
Luckilly, they redeemed themselves with DS9.
Is it my faulty memory or did "The Traveler" tell Wesley in "Where No One Has Gone Before" something along the lines of:
It's love, Wesley. Love powers the ship.
Because if yeah, gag me with a spoon.
The Agony Booth covered all of this sort of thing in exhaustive detail . They make a pretty strong case for "Sub Rosa" being the nadir of Season 7.
Also, I'm going to have to find a way to work "creepy extradimensional ceiling cat" into a conversation at some point.
The one where Beverly is seduced by an ancient Irish (or was it Scottish?) ghost candle alien thing. People said you couldn't do Gothic romance on Star Trek, and they were right. If you have to work that hard to shoehorn your story into the structure of the series, maybe you shouldn't do it.
Clip shows shouldn't count, as they aren't episodes. The worst episode, hands down, is "Skin of Evil".
This. A million times this.
When I think of bad TNG episodes, "Code of Honor" is the very first that comes to mind. "Code of Honor" has become shorthand in my household for "terrible episode of otherwise beloved tv show".
If their primary issue with Darmok is the language barrier, they haven't realised how little documentation we have on the universal translator.
Darmock is one of my favourite episodes, if only for the way it demonstrates Picard's normally effortless decision making process.
This is the one that really shows how Picard invites each member of the team to suggest a method, Worf's involving guns, Data's involving science, LaForge's involving tech, Crusher involving medicine, Troi involving diplomacy and selects the best bits of each.
Riker has to do that and can't. Worf's suggestion involving guns sounds OK, and nearly gets the ship destroyed.
SHHHHHH. For the love of Cthullu DO NOT give the writers any ideas for the next shitty Star Trek movie.
Whateves.... it's all worth it to see Picard yell at that Cardassian.... or do whatever he does. PICARD FOREVER!!!!

JOHN MCCAIN portrays himself as an old-fashioned fiscal conservative, at a time when public and private thrift has given way to spiraling debts. In the run-up to the nation's current economic mess, under-regulated mortgage and credit card companies blithely lent money to people who could never pay it back. During President Bush's two terms, federal spending soared, even as massive tax cuts for the richest hindered the government's ability to pay its bills. Like the nation as a whole, consumers are maxed out.
A central economic question facing McCain is what to do about the situation. As he takes the stage tonight, at a convention that has stressed the time-honored verities of service and self-sacrifice, he has an opportunity to outline a more responsible Republican economic agenda than the one President Bush has pursued.
But so far, McCain has shown no such inclination, apart from a de rigueur promise to rein in pork-barrel federal spending. Indeed, making the Bush tax cuts permanent is the centerpiece of his economic plan.
Political conventions aren't the place to go for sophisticated treatments of complex economic matters. The Democrats' dark rhetoric on the economy is easily lampooned; not every American works at a moribund steel mill, and not every middle-class family is teetering on the verge of despair. And Barack Obama has indulged in his share of unfortunate protectionist rhetoric.
But the Democratic nominee also sees that anti-trade sentiment grows out of economic anxieties - and that voters' anxieties are real. The economy is in trouble when tens of millions of people lack health insurance; when financial "innovation" means selling weird securities to investors who don't know what they're buying; when the national savings rate hovers barely above zero.
So far, McCain has offered no credible solutions to these problems. Mitt Romney, an able surrogate, rehearsed the party's economic arguments in a speech earlier this week. Along with high gas prices, Romney did cite the glut of unsustainable mortgages as a source of the economy's weakness. But the solutions he tossed out - reducing regulations and mandates, for instance - were beside the point, at best.
McCain might be a maverick on other issues, but he has joined up with Republicans who think tax cuts, no matter how budget-busting, are the answer to every question. He has admitted no expertise on economics. But to gain credibility with voters, he needs to show that he recognizes the difference between giveaways to the wealthy and policies that promote wealth creation up and down the economic spectrum.

You are on the development sites of the plausj subproject bank_german. This project aims to provide a high quality check digit calculation library for german bank accounts.
Currently there are about 130+ different strategies which are used by german banks. On releases this library will have them all. ;-)
The "Deutsche Bundesbank", central bank of germany, provides documation and mapping data how to calculate the check digits and how to map the strategies to the bank codes.
This subproject is in BETA-state now. That means that it is functional complete but lacks some testing. Further the code smells a bit and we need to do some refactoring.
This is the roadmap to the first release. We do not provide a timeframe at the moment but work as fast as possible.

GTA2 Multiplayer Tools
Posted 25 January 2009 - 12:22 AM
simply, I have a problem with playing GTA2 online.
I have read a lot of what to do to play it online. I have already downloaded the "GTA2 Game Hunter", this seems the best (and easiest) way to play GTA2 online.
And now, here is the major problem: when I launch "GTA2 Game Hunter" program, then signed in and finally click on some available game to join it, there is shown a window where the "Join" button is DISABLED. And now, what should I do?
I have read (on the site http://gtamp.com/gta2/network-help/) that I have to forward the ports 47624 (both TCP and UDP) and moreover the port range 2300-2400 (again both TCP and UDP). WHAT THIS EXACTLY MEAN?
Does this "port forwarding" mean only "allowing" communication over them (is it sufficient that I only allow these ports, for example in "Windows firewall")?
By the way, I have the "PRIVATE" IP address. Can I play online with it (if not, all my writing effort was useless )?
If there is only problem with port forwarding, I would be very pleased if someone can write for me a step-by-step instructions what to do (concretely on Windows XP and with Windows "classic" firewall).
Thanks in advance.

Is your modem/router in this list? http://www.portforwa.../GTA2Mindex.htm
Here's a port forwarding example video:
The IP addresses, username, password, port numbers and general look of the config webpage can be totally different from the video, so you will have to use logic to adapt it to your needs.
Posted 25 January 2009 - 08:12 PM
once more, I DON'T have the "public" IP address.
And I don't have a router. Can I forward ports without router?
Or does it mean if I buy the router shall I be able to forward ports?
Posted 26 January 2009 - 04:56 AM
Don't buy a router, it won't help you, that would just add an extra level of complication to your setup.
Posted 26 January 2009 - 12:53 PM
it seems that I cannot play it in "direct" way.
But what about with "Hamachi"?
Do I need to forward the specific ports even when I play it over Hamachi?
Posted 29 January 2009 - 06:14 AM
I have GTA2 with Game Hunter, running on windows xp sp2. Evererything works just fine for me to join a game, but can't host one. It comes up with error 1400. when I click ok then it kicks me off. I have hamachi installed and the ports open on my router, my firewall is turned totaly off. I can join games just fine, but not host them...how do I fix this. Also when playing multi-player then can we see each other in game...like if we where playing the downtown map, and we bouth went to the police station...? Any help would be great, thanks guys.

OddJoe69, can you please post the full error message or a screenshot of it?
If the other player is on your screen then you can see them in multiplayer and depending on the game mode and there are usually arrows pointing at each of the players, so you can find them.

|You don't need to forward ports for hamachi but you do need to allow it through your firewalls.
Sorry I am asking always the same, but I still cannot play GTA2 online.
You posted that I don't need to forward ports if I play through Hamachi but I have to allow something on my firewall.
Could you please write here the "ALL STEPS" from configuring the Hamachi, setting up firewall (which ports to allow) to setting up the Game Hunter?
If even after your steps I won't be able to play GTA2 online I promise (lol) I won't be asking again and again and again to this same topic.

But it didn't work with "Game Hunter" but wth the standard "GTA2 Manager".

If there were no multiplayer in GTA2 then would be there a lot less people who would play GTA2 these days?
What do you think?
Posted 06 November 2009 - 02:09 PM
Well, I always play GTA 2 on my own, so I can't give a good answer, but most likely it has helped a bit.
Posted 06 November 2009 - 02:14 PM
Let's say there is no multiplayer mode possible in GTA2 would people still play GTA2 these days?

Hi everyone !
Yesterday evening, I installed GTA 2 v11.44 and Game Hunter v1.597. Since I played the game in solo for thousand of hours (not that I was so good, I only liked to spend time on it), years ago, I'd be excited to try it online.
I'm waiting on Game Hunter (same nickname as in forum). See you around
/edit : 2 questions :
I read in the FAQ :
"Q: Why does it say "Debug flags are different"?
A: Every player needs to run GTA2 Manager and tick "do sync checks". This option is called "exit on desync" in GTA2 Game Hunter.
--> I see the desync button when I creat game, but can't find any "do sync checks" button in the GTA2 manager .
I can join game on Game Hunter but when I creat one, people try to join without success (No firewall activated on my PC). If only I can join a game, does it mean that my ports are successfully forwarded and that everything's OK ?
Posted 01 July 2016 - 08:23 AM Edited by Sektor, 01 July 2016 - 08:24 AM.
Do sync checks and exit on desync are the same. Just two different ways of changing the same registry key. The FAQ wasn't very clear what that means, so I updated it now.
Q: Why does it say "Debug flags are different"?
A: It means there are different debug options selected in GTA2 Manager debug tab. Make sure to tick the same as your opponents (cheat settings are ignored, so they don't have to be the same).
I circled the "do sync checks" option but GTA2 Game Hunter will take care of that for you, it's only really needed if there are some joiners that aren't using GH.
2. Sometimes UPnP will allow joining but you still won't be able to host. Read the FAQ about port forwarding and disabling UPnP. It's also possible the people that tried to join don't have open ports, so find out if they can join others.
Posted 02 March 2017 - 10:25 AM
I Download the GTA 2 Game Hunter but a after i install the patch and start GTA2 Game Hunter my windows 8 doesn't work to GTA 2 Game Hunter Like This
Posted 26 May 2017 - 10:12 AM
I installed GTA2 game hunter and noticed that it changes some options such as the "do blood" thing. Also I think the game speed was a bit higher after using GH. What settings does it change?

A Norwegian teacher from the town of Sola made a very bad choice for snack time for her class — very bloody bad.
Inger Lise Andersen, Director of the Dravhaug kindergarten, told Reuters that an unnamed teacher returned to school following an appointment with her doctor where she had blood drawn with a vial of her own brand, so to speak, for her class to touch and — yes — taste.
For some reason, the teacher believed that her young students would be interested in seeing her blood, so she passed it around on a plate to each child. "The children asked if they could touch it and she allowed them. Then they asked 'how do we get it off?' so she put her finger in her mouth and the children followed suit," said Inger.
Kindergarten Teacher Fired After Letting Students Taste Her Blood.
A Norwegian teacher from the town of Sola made a very bad choice for snack time for her class — very bloody bad.
parents are mortified, shaken, and shocked," says Inger. Who can blame
them? It's shocking to learn that a teacher used such poor judgment.
It's even more terrifying that an adult didn't think to consider the
potentially fatal health risks she was exposing her students to.
For now, the school has sent the blood off to be tested for HIV/AIDS and other diseases, and the teacher has been terminated. We cross our fingers for all of the students and their families that the blood comes back clean!

By Windsor A. Morgan, Jr., associate professor of physics and astronomy
In a 1961 message to Congress, President Kennedy set an audacious goal: to put a person on the moon and return that astronaut safely to Earth. At the time, the U.S. had just seven astronauts, only one of whom had gone into space without orbiting the Earth. The mission had lasted less than 16 minutes.
Kennedy set this task for the U.S. to show the world that Americans could lead the way into space. The Soviet Union had been the first country to put a satellite and a human into space. By declaring a new frontier of the moon, he jump-started a decade of missions, effort and discovery that has not been duplicated since. The robot probes of the Surveyor missions determined ideal places to land on the moon, and projects Gemini and Apollo demonstrated new methods for space travel, showing that humans could work in space. Finally, in July 1969, NASA made good on Kennedy's promise. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the moon and returned safely to Earth.
Since NASA's last lunar astronauts returned to Earth, no human has left Earth's orbit; however, presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush have tried to channel Kennedy's 1961 charge. In 2010, Barack Obama reaffirmed the goal to return astronauts to the moon and to travel to Mars by the 2030s.
It is disappointing that these goals have such faraway deadlines. There is no such fierce urgency as during the 1960s. Perhaps it is because we don't have an obvious competitor as we did in the Soviet Union. That we succeeded in getting to the moon eight years after his address to Congress speaks to Kennedy's ambition and inspiration and shows that if the country puts its mind to it, it could do it again.

The staff is friendly, the atmosphere chilled, and you can order any drink, just as long as it's served in a jar. It's cool and funky, with retro '70s armchairs scattered around the room.

New Academic Journal Reflects Partnership with Harvard, MIT
Posted: March 31, 2006 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
As of this week, George Mason, in partnership with Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, houses a new quarterly journal, Innovations: Technology| Governance| Globalization, published by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press.
The journal examines how people use technology to solve societal problems in a globalized world, with particular focus on successful local methods.
"The exciting basketball events of the last week at George Mason reinforce a central premise of this journal," says Philip Auerswald, assistant professor in the School of Public Policy who co-edits the journal with the Kennedy School's Iqbal Quadir.
"Small can be very big. Resources in the formulation and implementation of policy, like those in sports, are highly concentrated in a few institutions. Those existing institutions and the incentive structures that shape them may or may not be adequate to address tenacious global challenges such as climate change, pandemics and persistent poverty.
"If the past is any guide, continued progress will require continued innovations, the efforts of individuals, groups, and communities who creatively employ new organizational forms, and in many cases new technology, to effect discontinuous change. This journal is about just such innovations and the changes they bring about. It is less about what needs to be done, and more about what people are doing."
Innovations originated in Auerswald's initial proposal in 2001 to the Kennedy School of Government and his early work with several Harvard faculty members, including Quadir, John Holdren and Winthrop Carty. After accepting a faculty position at George Mason's School of Public Policy a year later, Auerswald continued to move forward with the project.
"My partners and I decided that the new journal should make its mark by focusing on people using technology to address global challenges," he says. "Once we framed the journal this way and began to develop content, the project linked very naturally to the strong and rapidly developing George Mason programs on entrepreneurship, technological innovation and globalization."
Auerswald believes that George Mason exemplifies the story that Innovations seeks to present. "The combination of tenacity, talent and can-do attitude that has been so magnificently displayed by our basketball team really is in evidence in many ways throughout the university. Like the school's namesake, people at George Mason are about principle and the power of ideas when put into action.
"That this journal is a collaboration between us, Harvard, and MIT is evidence of how far we have come. The world's elite universities are fully aware that even they cannot go it alone in a globalized world. Trusted partners and collaborators are essential to success."
This fall, in partnership with Tsinghua University in Beijing, Innovations will also be published in Chinese. Several other international editions are currently in the works.
To view PDFs of the inaugural issue of Innovations, which includes articles about the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative to find a solution to the AIDS epidemic and an article, "How Is Entrepreneurship Good for Economic Growth?," by Zoltan Acs, university professor of Public Policy at George Mason, visit the web site.

By: Chris Tell at: http://capitalistexploits.at/
Maybe I'm peculiar, which is entirely possible, but I cherish the memories of adventures I had and times spent in awkward situations; the times spent pushing my own personal limits, times when I've often been very, very uncomfortable.
It's rare to remember a 5-star hotel no matter how nice it is, but I will always remember that night spent sleeping in a public bathroom when a storm blew our tent away and drenched our belongings.
I will not forget spending the night freezing my tail of in 12 inches of snow, in a tent, deep in the mountains of Eastern Europe after I'd train hopped and jumped off at the wrong location.
I vividly remember sleeping huddled to a backpack on an Indian train... huddled because if I let it go it would be stolen in the blink of an eye.
I'll always remember positioning myself in front of my wife when being held up by pirates on the Mekong. It doesn't matter where we've been, or where we're going but what we've learned that matters most. What we take away from our experiences and what we do with that.
We don't become educated by having it easy and we don't learn perseverance and dedication by sitting on the sofa.
There is a reason I cart my children to all sorts of countries and expose them to different cultures. There is a reason my wife and I home schooled our children for many years.
We expose our children to everything from drug addicts, to world business leaders, to prostitutes, orphans and everything in between. Always in a controlled environment, but ensuring that the world is in front of them, the good, the bad and the ugly.
A parent recently argued with me that I was damaging my kids by exposing them to poverty when taking them to a Burmese refugee village in Northern Thailand. This parent lets her kids watch gratuitous violence on television and play graphic video games, which make me want to vomit, and does it without a thought.
The television, iPad, Xbox,... these have replaced the real world as parenting "tools". Is it not better that we see the effects of violence together with the humanity in it, rather than on a screen where the connection is lost, completely misused and the message given a far more dangerous one? In my view you can't intelligently grapple with the world's complexities if you've little to no connection to them.
This sort of exposure provides an education not easily achieved elsewhere. Kids are not shy and will question everything. This is as it should be, and is an attribute sadly lost on many grown adults.
It has always been my policy to invite questions and answer them as honestly as possible. This is how we learn.
As a grown adult, a professional investor, entrepreneur and owner of multiple businesses, it's always been my job to ask questions. The more the better. There are no dumb or wrong questions. Kids know this, yet adults often forget it. Pride gets in the way. Fear of looking stupid, being thought ignorant.
Our brains need to be stress-tested regularly. A brain is a muscle and it atrophies just like any other muscle if left to vacuous use. Did you know that it takes just two weeks for a muscle to atrophy. Two weeks! Poof...flat like a car tire.
When you're pushing yourself to explore new ideas, new environments and new cultures you're much more likely to be uncomfortable. It is when we're uncomfortable that we are forced to exercise our brain. Ideas and skills bring wealth.
Wealth is not money. Only poor, ignorant people think wealth is money. I need my kids to be using their brains vigorously, to be generating ideas, to be problem solving consistently and to be collecting a body of knowledge to be tapped at every turn. I need my kids to be uncomfortable.
This was one reason I bought my son a second hand piece of furniture. It is why I'm not going to send my kids direct to University when they finish schooling. There is a difference between education and schooling.
I recall an instance some years ago when living in Phuket, Thailand. For a family outing we had ventured down to Patong beach to shop for an art piece. A large oil painting that now hangs on our wall. Now, Patong is littered with hookers and men too eager to be hooked. Unsurprisingly, drug use is common. If I had to sleep with some of the creatures that grace these places I'd probably take drugs, too!
Witnessing a particular tourist in the street, who was clearly stoned out of his mind, my daughter questioned me:
"Why has that guy got bleeding feet daddy?"
"Because he's stepping on broken glass honey and has no shoes on."
"I know, but he seems weird, he doesn't seem bothered by it and he's got a weird sort of smile on his face."
"Yes, honey he's on drugs and the drugs mess with his brain telling him not to worry about the glass."
"That's dumb Dad."
"Yes, it is."
You see you don't need to threaten kids with finger raised to stay away from drugs. I believe it's better to let them come to that conclusion all on their own, with a safe, steering hand. This is why I expose my kids to all manner of things many would consider crazy.
Kids are like onions, occasionally smelly, they actually don't snap and break like carrots all that easily and there are many layers to them. You can't appreciate how many layers there are unless you begin peeling. Sometimes when you peel the layers back you weep.
We recently spent a few days camping. No big deal. It rained and we could have packed up, hiked out to the car and driven home to a hot shower and warm bed. But what does that teach you?
Instead we targeted the "problem", coming up with ideas on how to solve the problem of not bringing enough warm gear and experiencing rain. Needless to say we had an awesome time. In the pouring rain, while we were cold and wet, missed sleep and could have easily given in, we had a very close bonding and memorable experience where many of our "problems" were tackled.
It is my dream for my children that they do something cool, possibly life-changing, and certainly inspiring, if only for themselves. That is where fulfillment comes.
Getting there, however, is never, ever a walk in the park. It will take perseverance, possibly ridicule, missing out on more "fun" things, it will take time, something we all wake up every morning with the same amount of. How we spend that time defines who we are. It cannot and should not be taken lightly.
I've had the incredible fortune of having built multiple businesses myself, made and lost money, made and occasionally lost friends, and always been educated by the experiences.
I've also been in the enviable position of being exposed to literally hundreds of businesses, many of them start-ups or small businesses. Watching and learning along with founders and management teams has been an invaluable education for me. I've watched founders grow, accomplish, become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams I've also watched founders blow up, destroy their relationships, burn out and collapse in a smoking wreck on the footpath.
It is one reason that we invest in people before we invest in businesses. What I've come to know, and most of us know this internally, is that it's truly rare to achieve something valuable without going hungry, sweating, and working hard at it.
How do you build that resiliency in a growing child? How do you show them the way the world really works? How do you do all this without breaking them, all the while installing a sense of passion, awe for our incredible world, a sense of limitless opportunities and a desire and belief that they can and indeed should build a life and world which is better for having them in it?
This is why I want my children to go cold and hungry. Is this going to make them more resilient, more entrepreneurial, more appreciative or just more grounded? I don't know. Ask me in 10-20 years.

In Munich, the Oktoberfest tents have been put away. But in Houston, the fall beer-drinking season is just getting started.
Here's a sampling of what's on tap the next couple of days:
Block 7 Wine Co., the wine bar with a beer lover's sensibility, is celebrating Oktoberfest tonight (Oct. 22).
The festivities begin in the retail shop at 6, with Saint Arnold brewer Vince Mandeville discussing his company's lineup of locally made craft beers, specifically its Oktoberfest. He'll also provide tastings.
The party continues from 7 to 9 p.m. A flier promises German wine, beer and food, plus music by an excellent local band, The Umbrella Man.
Tickets are $15. As a bonus, that includes case pricing on all wines. You can make reservations on Facebook.
Block 7 diners without an Oktoberfest ticket can get case pricing on all German wines in the restaurant, at 720 Shepherd. That's just south of trendy Washington Avenue.
Then on Saturday, Southern Star Brewing Co. is hosting an Oktoberfest up in Conroe.
The party is limited to 225 people, and the $35 tickets are going quickly. That gets you Southern Star beer and a souvenir ceramic stein to help you wash down the brats and beans. The brewery's house band, Spliffer, will provide the music.
For ticket availability, directions and more information about Southern Star, call 936-441-BREW (2739) or check them out on the Web. If you miss the fun this weekend, don't fret: The craft brewery has free tours from 1 to 3 on Saturday afternoons.
The Orange Show, a Houston venue as eclectic as it is iconic, is hosting its second annual Foam Raiser on Saturday.
This fund-raiser will feature music by Grandfather Child and Wild Moccasins, plus two special casks of Saint Arnold Christmas Ale, made with honey from the Orange Show. (Click the "continue reading" button to find out exactly how special this beer is. It's a neat story.)
The Foam Raiser party, at 2402 Munger, is from 7 to 10 p.m.
Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 at the door. For more information, call (713) 926-6368.
OK, so what's so special about the Christmas Ale casks that Saint Arnold will have at the Foam Raiser?
When I said the beer is made with honey from the Orange Show, I meant that literally.
After workers removed a colony of bees from the walls of the building a few months ago, they harvested the honey as well and contacted Saint Arnold to see if the brewer was interested in doing something with it.
The result is a limited batch — just two casks — of Honey Orange Christmas Ale, brewed with the honey and with orange peels. Lennie Ambrose of Saint Arnold says it's a first for the Houston brewery.
"It just seemed perfect," he explains. "The honey came from the Orange Show and it's being returned to the Orange Show in the casks for the event."
Ambrose also says there's no need to worry about the bees. The Orange Show folks are taking good care of them:
They took them out a few months ago but they are still making honey and the bee keeper will eventually return them to the Orange Show grounds in a safer environment.
See? I told you it was a neat story.

With the shrinking field of GOP presidential candidates and the cancellation of the last scheduled Republican primary debate, the list of key events to watch out for is also growing smaller.
Interested in ?Add as an interest to stay up to date on the latest news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
But amid talk of whether there will be a contested GOP convention in July, or whether there will be "riots" when they gather, there are still 23 state and territorial contests before then.
Of those, six states have more than 50 delegates at stake.
Here are some important events still to come in this turbulent nominating season.
Tuesday March 22: Headed to the Southwest
The next big primary comes in Arizona, where there are 58 delegates at stake in the winner-take-all state. Trump already has the backing of the state's infamous Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, but be on the lookout for more trips there by candidates over the weekend and in early next week.
Utah, which has 40 delegates, has their primary on the same day.
Tuesday April 19: Empire State of Mind
A whole four weeks pass, with just one primary (Wisconsin, a winner-take-most state that could change to winner-take-all, with 42 delegates) during that time, until the next big contest. If a candidate is able to amasses a majority in both congressional districts and the statewide population vote, a winner-take-most state can morph into a winner-take-all state.
New York holds its primary April 19, and Donald Trump is surely hoping to win his home state. Even if he does, however, he likely won't be taking home the state's 95 delegates, who are not governed by winner-take-all rules.
Tuesday April 26: Another Mini-Super Tuesday?
There are five states holding their primaries at this time. Delaware with 16 delegates, is winner take all, while Maryland with 38 delegates and Pennsylvania with 71 delegates have potential to become winner take all.
This marks the last primary day with more than two states at a time for six weeks.
Tuesday June 7: Rush for Gold in California
There'll be a new rush in California before the state's primary because there are a whopping 172 delegates at stake.
The delegate-heavy state also differs from others because it is a winner-take-most state, which means that delegates can be allocated to the winner depending on district-level results, as well as their state-level performance.
Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota also have their winner-take-all primaries that day, along with New Mexico, which allocates its 24 delegates differently.
Monday July 18: The Final Say
The potentially historic convention starts in Cleveland more than a month after the party's last primary. Whether it is contested depends directly on the delegate counts, and whether one of the three remaining candidates has reached the magic 1,237 number.
If not, there's the prospect of four days of internal battling in the Buckeye State.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that Wisconsin, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York were automatically winner-take all states; these could turn into winner-take-all states depending on the outcome. The story has also been updated with the U.S. territories still scheduled to have contests.

Town seeking input for eastern Greenwich plan
Published 10:00 pm, Monday, January 12, 2015
Local residents from Old Greenwich, Riverside and North Mianus will be asked for their input on parking, traffic flow, design, housing and pedestrian safety at a community meeting Jan. 21.
The "kick-off" meeting for the Eastern Greenwich Neighborhood Plan will help to assemble a pragmatic wish-list that will go into the town's planning and budgeting process. Similar plans have already been completed for Byram and Cos Cob, and the town's planning staff is now turning its attention to the eastern end of town.
Planning Director Katie DeLuca says she will be asking people from the neighborhood what's on their minds. "The focus of the kick-off meeting will be on your thoughts and comments. We want to know your vision for your community," she said.
The process will find out how much public support there is for various ideas in the discussion stage -- such as altering Sound Beach Avenue to allow for outdoor dining.
Are there places for bike lanes to be installed? How much of a desire is there for more affordable housing for seniors? What kind of designs for street lights and public benches do people want? Those and other questions will be considered.
"A good plan is a plan that can and will be implemented. That will be our focus," said DeLuca.
The town is contracting with a planning agency, Buckhurst, Fish and Jaquemart to complete the implementation of the community goals. The plan itself and a schedule should be prepared by early July.
There will likely be a detailed discussion about traffic flow, especially from residents of the North Mianus community.
"The concern we have is what to do with traffic," said Sam Romeo, head of the Mianus Valley Association, a homeowners and civic group.
"Especially when there's an accident on I-95, we become an alternate route. It's horrendous," he said, and local residents would be paying attention to any solutions. Traffic congestion around North Mianus School is another topic of interest.
The Jan. 21 meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Eastern Middle School cafeteria.

Diet plays a very important role if you want hypothyroidism to take a back seat. While it is not scientifically proven as to which foods would increase your thyroid function, but certain diets are considered to be beneficial for your thyroid functioning. These foods can help absorb iodine, which is a major contributor to the production of the thyroid hormones and this will help in hormone distribution throughout the body.
Image source : getty
Here is a diet list that will help increase the functionality of your thyroid.
[Read: Best Foods for Hypothyroidism]
Organic eggs, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, vegetable juices, beef liver and kidney and sprouts which are derived from organic seeds are believed to increase thyroid activity. In addition to all this, breads which are made from sprouted grains, such as Ezekial or manna, and sea salts are recommended for increasing the functioning of your thyroid gland.
[Read: Why to Choose Organic Food?]
There are healthy oils which includes extra virgin olive oil, unsaturated canola oil, linseed oil and unrefined coconut oil. It is recommended that these oils be used in cooking and salad dressing for thyroid. Also, nuts and seeds such as cashews, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds are recommended for you to boost thyroid function; you must however, avoid peanuts.
You will find certain vegetables that contain vitamins and minerals and can help to increase your thyroid function. You are advised to include garlic, onions and mushrooms in your diet as they also contain high quantities of vitamins and can play key roles in thyroid gland health. You can also eat kelp, which you will find in seaweed salad at Japanese restaurants the dark matter that is used to roll sushi may be purchased at health food stores. It comes in brown, green and red varieties.
High iodine foods like sea salt, iodized salt, seafood, eggs, dairy, cheese, bread, shellfish and yoghurt can be included in your diet for a more efficient thyroid function. See a doctor in case you are concerned about your thyroid producing too much or too little iodine.By increasing or decreasing these foods, you will regulate the thyroid.
[Read: How Lack of Iodine Could Lead to Thyroid Cancer]
Choosing the right food is a deciding factor for your thyroid gland's smooth functioning.

Tracking Water Molecules Could Unlock Secrets
ScienceDaily is reporting that several new discoveries about the simple molecule of water have kicked off a surge in research that scientists believe could lead to solving some of the world's most tricky problems from agriculture to cancer. "Understanding how individual water molecules maneuver in a system to form fleeting tetrahedral structures and how changing physical conditions such as temperatures and pressures affect the amount of disorder each imparts on that system may help scientists understand why certain substances, like drugs used in chemotherapy, are soluble in water and why some are not. It could also help understand how this changing network of bonds and ordering of local tetrahedrality between water molecules changes the nature of protein folding and degradation. 'Understanding hydrophobicity, and how different conditions change it, is probably one of the most fundamental components in understanding how proteins fold in water and how different biomolecules remain stable in it,' says Kumar. 'And if we understand this, we will not only have a new way of thinking about physics and biology but also a new way to approach health and disease.'"

Simulation of unsteady flow in the Milwaukee Harbor Estuary at Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4050
Prepared in cooperation with the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission

- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
This report describes the application and results of an unsteady-flow model for the Milwaukee Harbor Estuary. The model simulates unsteady and upstream flow occurring in the estuary as a result of Lake Michigan Seiche. The discharge computed by the model indicates that upstream flow occurs throughout the estuary during periods of lake seiche. Flow conditions are extremely unsteady and major flow reversals may occur within 1 hr. The simulated discharge indicates that both upstream and downstream flows four times greater than the average daily discharge can occur during the same day. An estimate of 5- or 15-minute average discharge was required during selected runoff events and at various locations in the estuary as part of the Milwaukee Harbor Estuary study. The model provides a method to estimate 5-minute average discharges at selected cross sections in the estuary. The U.S. Geological Survey 's Branch Network Model was used to simulate stage and discharge. A finite difference computation scheme is used to solve the one-dimensional flow equations. Model input requirements include channel geometry data, discharge at the upstream tributaries, and stage data at the estuary mouth. The model was used to simulate the flow during six selected time periods in 1982-84 using a 5- or 15-minute computation interval. (Author 's abstract)

I forgot that for the purpose of my project I'm just using it as a mockup. And that's why I'm not even customizing it to the extent that I would want to pick out appropriate icons. So really your documentation was sufficient. Once I knew the version of icons it wasn't hard to google that and download them myself. Sorry for the trouble. I appreciate the response.

All About Fennel
by Sandra Bowens
Funny, it tastes a little like licorice but actually it is fennel. Typically used to compliment fish, fennel is found in a variety of Italian dishes, as well. It is the seed that flavors Italian sausage. Fennel seed is also called sweet cumin or large cumin because they resemble each other. The flavor is closer to the licorice-like anise seed, for which it may be substituted.
Fennel, with its pale green color and pleasant, aromatic scent is said to symbolize flattery and to be an emblem of heroism. It is native to Mediterranean regions. Legend has it that the Battle of Marathon, the town for which the famous race is named, was fought in a field of fennel. It is one of the earliest known herbs and was often called the "meetin' seed". It was nibbled in church to curb the appetite or quiet a restless child. Most fennel seed is imported from India, Egypt and China.
Aside from the seed, fennel bulbs and the leaf are used in cooking. They are particularly prized in the Italian kitchen. The bulb, frequently found marinated on antipasto platters, has an anise flavor with hints of celery. The feathery leaf, resembling dill weed, imparts a faint licorice flavor and is used with the bulb or as an herb.
Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare, is a tender perennial best grown as an annual since it does not handle frost well. It does not handle transplanting well either so direct seed where you want the plant to grow. Fennel can reach four or five feet in height and looks like a large dill plant. It will cross-pollinate with dill, rendering the seed nearly flavorless, so plan accordingly. As if all these particulars weren't enough, gardeners should also be aware that fennel will interfere with the growth of bush beans, caraway, tomatoes and kohlrabi. Fennel itself could be stunted by nearby coriander and wormwood.
If you are growing fennel for the bulb, look for Florence fennel or finocchio and grow it like a vegetable. If it is the leaves and seeds you are after, the plants are called sweet fennel.
The leaves and tender young stalks may be trimmed at any time in the growing process for use in salads or crudités as an interesting alternative to celery. The leaves will not retain their flavor when dried.
Fennel seeds will mature at different rates. Harvesting each flower should be spread over the space of a week or so. Every other day, hold the flowers over a bag and shake gently to capture the ripened seeds.
As mentioned above, fennel seeds are one of the spices that give Italian sausage its distinct flavor. The seeds are a natural with other meats, too, as well as fish and poultry, vegetables and even baked goods. They are an occasional component in curry powders and pickles.
When shopping for whole fennel, look for a firm bulb with the leaves and stalks still attached. Serve the fennel chopped into salads or enjoy it as the Italians do--sliced raw and presented with olive oil, salt and lemon wedges. Fennel bulbs are excellent marinated, braised or roasted, on their own or as a part of a dish. One cookbook suggests stuffing the fronds and stalks into the cavity of poultry before roasting while another mentions that it pairs well with cheese. Italian cookbooks are your best source for finding interesting recipes and uses for fennel.
Seed, bulb or frond, fennel is a versatile herb you are sure to enjoy in your own kitchen.
Monster Meatballs
(8 large meatballs)
3/4 pound ground beef
1/4 pound ground pork
1 egg
1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs
1/4 cup minced onions
1 clove garlic, minced
3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seed
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix lightly, but thoroughly, with hands. Form mixture into 8 meatballs, using about 1/3 cup for each one. Place on a rack over a roasting pan so that any fat will drain off during cooking. Bake for about 25 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve with pasta and sauce, if desired, or split, stuff into French rolls and top with tomato sauce and cheese for monster sandwiches.

I think someone has previously commented on this (?David Curtis), but the p2c utility translates LINKAGE version 5.1 into C which compiled and ran with no "human" modification! I was astonished. p2c is public domain available by anonymous ftp from somewhere I've forgotten. BTW this trial was run on a Sun SparcStation.
