Message Queue command line utilities are shell commands. The name of the utility is a command and its subcommands or options are arguments passed to that command. There is no need for separate commands to start or quit the utility.
All the command line utilities share the following command syntax:
utilityName [subcommand] [commandArgument] [ [-optionName [optionArgument] ] … ]
where utilityName is one of the following:
imqbrokerd (Broker utility)
imqcmd (Command utility)
imqobjmgr (Object Manager utility)
imqdbmgr (Database Manager utility)
imqusermgr (User Manager utility)
imqsvcadmin (Service Administrator utility)
imqkeytool (Key Tool utility)
Subcommands and command-level arguments, if any, must precede all options and their arguments; the options themselves may appear in any order. All subcommands, command arguments, options, and option arguments are separated with spaces. If the value of an option argument contains a space, the entire value must be enclosed in quotation marks. (It is generally safest to enclose any attribute-value pair in quotation marks.)
The following command, which starts the default broker, is an example of a command line with no subcommand clause:
Here is a fuller example:
imqcmd destroy dst -t q -n myQueue -u admin -f -s
This command destroys a queue destination (destination type q) named myQueue. Authentication is performed on the user name admin; the command will prompt for a password. The command will be performed without prompting for confirmation (-f option) and in silent mode, without displaying any output (-s option).

Small group training—fee-based training for three to four members at a time—has been a great addition to fitness facilities and trainers. It allows you to offer members the value of personal training at a reduced rate and to generate an additional revenue stream for your facility. What if you could offer this same value and results driven programming to 20, 30 or even 40 members at a time, reduce the member's fee by more than half and generate four times the revenue? Well, you can, by offering large group training.
When most people hear the suggestion about doing large group training, they say they cannot offer this type of programming because it will confuse members or because a trainer cannot lead 40 people at the same time to do a squat or that no one will pay for large group training if they can take classes for free.
But I would counter by saying that you can offer large group training without confusing members, your trainers can lead 40 people in doing squats and your members will pay for large group training.
To make this happen, though, you need to take these six steps:
1. Be clear. When implementing large group training, be clear about the purpose of the program and its value. Ask yourself the following questions: Why are we charging for this program? What extra value does this program offer our members? Does this program really deliver the results we are promising? After you answer these questions, share the answers with your members. They will then understand the program, the value and the benefits without confusion.
2. Scheduling. Placing large, fee-based group training on your schedule can sometimes be tricky. To be successful at it, intersperse your free classes with your fee trainings. For example, if you offer free classes at 5 a.m. Mondays through Fridays, allocate two of those days for fee training and three of the days for free classes. When adding a fee group training title to your schedule, place a clear demarcation on the program. For example, next to your fee trainings, have a large asterisk and then a clear definition below. Start with just one large, fee training program on your schedule so that you minimize the impact of shedding free classes. If you take off all your free classes and add only fee-based classes, your members will feel betrayed. Allow them an opportunity to choose free or fee.
3. Choosing the right facilitators. Choosing the right staff to lead your large group training is critical to its success. As a club operator, you may look to personal trainers to lead any type of fee-based program. Although personal trainers may bring a wealth of knowledge to the program, they may struggle with facilitating more than three people at one time. If this is the case, consider putting group exercise instructors in charge of these classes. They are trained to lead large groups.
4. Charge properly. When choosing a price point for your large group training, consider the value and the results of the program you are going to implement. If you are not sure what your members will pay, survey them. Will your members pay extra for nutritional guidance? If the answer is yes, include it in your large group training. Will your members pay extra for assessments? Then include them in your large group training. If you want to know the answer to a question, ask the question. Never assume.
5. Where to implement. If you are open to change, try implementing large group training in your group exercise department. Personal training departments have been extremely successful at creating and providing additional monies to facilities. If you launch large group training in the group exercise department, it just may do the same for it.
6. Make it a "must do." Do you know that feeling when you see all your friends trying something new and you desperately want to join because you know you are missing something? Generate that same excitement in your large group training program. Take the time and energy to market your large, fee-based training program. Be bold and tell members they have to bring their friends or they will miss out. Create a marketing campaign via social media and pay attention to it. And lastly, market this program as if it will change their lives because, in reality, it will.

So what does one of the biggest gold bulls out there have to say about recent action that has been anything but bullish for the precious metal?
\"It\'s hardly any move. These are small moves and the media likes to make a lot of noise whenever this happens. \'We told you, gold\'s a bubble. Get out,\'\" says Peter Schiff , the chief executive and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital, who has been calling for gold to hit $5,000 since 2000, when it traded at around $300 an ounce.
Gold has languished since Monday's pummeling, which saw it hit five-week lows. And gold is being outperformed by every other precious/base metal out there so far this year. HSBC lifted its silver forecasts on Wednesday. (Also, check out 7 gut checks, which mentions what one hedge fund has said about gold recently.)
But Schiff is nonplussed. \"If you compare the volatility to stock markets, it\'s a lot less volatile. Also, whenever the stock market makes a nominal new high, the bias in the media against gold goes up,\" says Schiff. (Watch Dennis Gartman of The Gartman Letter on CNBC talking about how gold is breaking down.)
Schiff\'s big gold call ties into his extremely bearish view on where the dollar is headed, amid the money-printing from the Fed and other central banks and hyperinflation that he says is coming. Watch Schiff on Dow at 14,000 is no big deal
Quantitative easing is one reason many gold bugs like Schiff think the precious metal is a winner in the long run. The more money central banks print in a bid to help growth, the more it may weaken their currencies. And that works in gold\'s favor. Conversely, efforts (or anticipation of such efforts) to rein in monetary stimulus tend to clip gold. Check out: Confusion reigns over G-7 position on yen
\"We are creating so much money. Japan, Europe, China, the whole world is engaging in a race to debase. Everybody thinks inflation is good, printing money is good, a weak currency is good,\" said Schiff.
In some ways, Schiff\'s call has been a good one. Gold prices had run up by a factor of five by August 2011, when they hit a settlement high just under $1,900 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
But the gold rally has stalled since then, putting Schiff\'s call even further into the ether. On Monday, the April contract settled below $1,650 an ounce, a five-week low. And it\'s been pretty much rangebound since.
But Schiff takes the long view.
In fact, he says gold could go beyond $5,000, depending on how much longer money printing goes on. \"A lot of people will get caught by surprise. People who buy and have the patience to hold on will be rewarded,\" he said. (Read also Gold is at a critical juncture)
As for the billion-dollar question – when — well, that's a tough call even for Schiff. \"Can it get to $5,000 in six months? Probably not. In two to three years it\'s more likely. I doubt it will take five years. If it takes that long, it will go higher.\"
Schiff has gone to the mat over what some say are \"out-there\" calls like that gold prediction and his stance on inflation. He\'s got lots of fans and lots of detractors — like NYT columnist Paul Krugman. Krugman wrote last November that Schiff is among history\'s \"erroneous\" predictors with his long-running cry that that hyperinflation is coming.
Schiff says government calculations are not accurate and we\'ve got a CPI averaging between 5% and 7% a year. Watch Krugman vs. Schiff He\'s not the only one concerned about hyperinflation though. Check out what veteran trader Art Cashin had to say earlier this week.
He likes to refer to one of his most famous calls that turned out right. He accurately predicted the 2008-2009 financial crisis two years prior. Google \'Peter Schiff was right\' on YouTube and you\'ll this video and plenty of others.
\"I take flak from people who don\'t really understand what\'s going on,\" says Schiff. \"I don\'t think my predictions are wrong. I think my predictions have been proven to be accurate.\"
Gold bugs would like to see this big call turn out right. It\'s just not clear how patient they\'ll have to be.

What are sustainable options for purchasing dairy, eggs, meat, and seafood?
Certified Humane Raised and Handled
This label is a third party certification of humane treatment and can be found on eggs, dairy products, beef, chicken, lamb, pork, and turkey. Growth hormones are prohibited and animals are raised on a diet without antibiotics. Animals are provided with clean and sufficient water, shelter, resting areas, and adequate space for them to move naturally. Managers and caretakers must be thoroughly trained, skilled and competent in animal husbandry and welfare and processors must comply with higher humane slaughter standards than those required by federal standards.www.eco-labels.org (search for "certified humane")
Organic (eggs, dairy products, and meat)
The USDA's organic certification program requires certain standards be met for animals used for meat, milk, and eggs. All feed must be 100 percent organic and animals may not be given hormones to promote growth, or antibiotics for any reason. Animals must have access to the outdoors, including access to pasture for ruminants (cattle and sheep), and cages are not allowed for egg laying hens. These guidelines assure higher humane treatment standards than conventional industry standards but are not as stringent or comprehensive as the Certified Humane Raised and Handled guidelines.
rBGH-Free or rBST-Free (Dairy Products)
The genetically-engineered hormone rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone-also called rBST-is given to dairy cows to increase milk production. Concerns about the negative effects of rBGH include increased health problems in cows and the resulting increase of antibiotic usage, and detrimental effects in humans and the environment from hormone and antibiotic residue. Many countries, including Japan, Canada, and much of Europe have chosen not to approve the use of rBGH. In the United States, milk, or milk products, that are produced without growth hormones are often labeled "rBGH-Free" or "rBST-Free."www.sustainabletable.org/issues/dairy
Free Range, Free Roaming, Cage Free, Pasture Raised, Grass Fed (Eggs and Meat)
Unfortunately, the use of "free range" and similar labels on eggs and beef is unregulated. The USDA regulates the use of these labels for poultry, but it approves the use of "free range" even in cases where birds have as little as five-minutes of open-air access each day. It is therefore necessary to contact the manufacturer (or local farmer or rancher) who produces the meat, poultry or eggs, to determine whether the animals are truly "free roaming" or not.

Modern portfolio theory defines an investment strategy to meet a given investor's needs. It is based on using simple statistics to design a mixture of low-correlated assets to minimize risk and maximize returns. However, things don't always go as planned.
Different investment sectors become more correlated just at the time we need non-correlation the most. For example, utility, oil and technology stocks usually have a correlation between 0.2 and 0.4, but during market shocks and so-called "black swan" events, these correlations can reach 0.7, 0.8 or even higher.
So, just when you need the diversification most, classic portfolio theory can fail you. One reason is because its application methods are derived from theories that assume an infinite number of trials. In reality, we trade a particular size, method or mix of markets for a finite number of trials and move on. These techniques also assume the data have a normal distribution, which is not true. For example, events creating a standard deviation of 5 should happen once every 100 years with a true normal distribution, not every four to eight years as we have seen in practice.
Traders need an alternative. Fortunately, there is one. It is called the Leverage Space Model. Developed by Ralph Vince, who is known for introducing the trading community to optimal f, Leverage Space is still evolving and is an important area of research. (For an introduction to this concept, see Vince's "Using Leverage Space to define risk," March 2008.) When Leverage Space is fully mature, it could become one of the most important underpinnings of investment theory in the next decade and beyond.
Here, we examine the theoretical basis for Leverage Space and walk through some examples of its use. One word of caution: Advancing our understanding into this frontier requires a strong foundation. A basic knowledge of Vince's concepts is assumed (see link, above).
Is this a good game?
Assume we have a game in which 49 times out of 50 you win $1, and one time out of 50 you lose $50. This is a negative expectation game. If we use classic probability analysis, assuming an infinite number of trials, our calculation is:
1 * 0.98 + –50 * 0.02 = –0.02
Classic probability theory says do not play this game, because it has a negative expectation. This is a losing sum game if we play to infinity. But in reality, whether it is a good game depends on how long you play it, and how you play it while you do. Before we look at different ways to play this game, we need to review some basics of probability theory.
First, let's look at how we calculate the probability of "n" consecutive events occurring. With a fair coin toss, we have a 50/50 chance on heads or tails. In two consecutive tosses, we have four possible cases: HH, HT, TH, TT. Only one offers HH, or one out of four cases, so the chance of two consecutive heads is 25%.
Now, consider the possible combinations for three consecutive tosses: HHH, HTH, THH, TTH, HHT, HTT, THT, TTT. This gives us eight combinations, and HHH has a chance of one out of eight, or 12.5%.
To know the probability of a single event and how many times it will occur in a row, we simply multiply the probability of a single event, and raise it to a power equal to consecutive events. For example, the chance our coin will come up two heads in a row is 0.50 squared, or 0.25 (25%). Three in a row is 0.50 cubed, or 0.125 (12.5%).
Returning to our initial example, our probability of winning is 98%. The chance of winning two in a row is 96.04%. The chance of winning 10 in a row is 81.7%. This means that if we play the game a fixed number of trials and stop, we have an 81.7% chance of winning $10 and an 18.3% chance of losing $50.
Now, let's redefine our game. We will allow reinvestment and stop after our first loss. We start with $1,000 as our first bet. After 10 consecutive wins, each of which doubles our stake, our initial $1,000 becomes $1,024,000. This has an 81.7% chance of occurring.
How much we win — and then lose with the first loss — depends on when the first loss occurs, shutting down our game. But the worst case would be losing $25,600,000 (based on a $1,000 starting stake and reinvestment). When we lose, we go bankrupt. However, up to that point, we have a fairly strong chance of living the good life.
So, is this a good game? From Long-Term Capital Management to the companies behind the mortgage crisis, many financial companies have thought so. The chance of their black swan event may have been less than one in 50, and they certainly bet less than their entire stake with each trade, but the rules of their games were similar. (Well, there was one key difference — many of these firms played with the safety net of a government bailout.)

Everth Cabrera's steal of home to tie Saturday night's game at Dodger Stadium marked the first time in nearly 30 years that a major league team has won a regular season game in which either the tying or go-ahead run scored on a steal of home in the ninth inning or later.
The last time it happened was on Aug. 22, 1982. Cardinals catcher Glenn Brummer dashed home in the 12th inning, beating the pitch from Giants pitcher Gary Lavelle, to give St. Louis a 5-4 win.
Credit for this piece of trivia goes to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Cabrera's steal of home was the front end of a play that saw Will Venable follow Cabrera to the plate with the winning run.
With a 2-and-2 count on Alexi Amarista, Cabrera took off from third when Dodgers reliever Kenley Jansen turned his back to the plate to clean mud from his cleats without calling time. Cabrera scored as Jansen threw the ball past catcher A.J. Ellis. Before Ellis could get the ball back to Jansen covering the plate, Venable had come around with the go-ahead (and what proved to be the winning) run in the Padres' 7-6 victory.
The steal was Cabrera's 16th of the season. He has yet to be thrown out – giving Cabrera the longest stretch of successful steals to start a season in Padres history.
The Daily Five (notes, stats, etc.):
--Chris Denorfia turned 32 on Sunday. His present from Bud Black was a spot in the lineup. Denorfia wasn't scheduled to start until the Dodgers made the late switch from RHP Chad Billingsley to LHP Chris Capuano as the starting pitcher. Denorfia is 12-for-30 with a double, a homer and three RBI since June 29.
--2B Logan Forsythe is 7-for-16 over his last four starts and 13-for-32 with two doubles, a homer and three RBI since June 30.
--3B Chase Headley regained his Padres home run lead Friday night with his ninth of the season just two innings after Carlos Quentin had tied for the team lead with his eighth. Headley has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games. But he is just 16-for-59 during the run with three doubles, two homers and nine RBI. He has struck out 11 times in his six games (24 at-bats) and 18 times in his last 59 at-bats.
--Headley's two-run, game-tying homer in the sixth Saturday night gave him 44 RBI on the season, equaling his total for the entire 2011 season.
--Quentin's three RBI Saturday night was his most in a game since he had four on May 30 in his third game as a Padre. His homer was his first since June 29 and only his third in 29 games since he hit two on June 5.

Lake Minnewaska is the first lake you come to at the top of the drive that leads in to Minnewaska State Park in New York. Located just 15 minutes west of New Paltz along highway 44/55, it is a beautiful park with many hiking and biking trails. The view from the cliffs down onto the lake is spectacular, especially at sunset. The Catskill mountains can be seen just to the north.

Dr. Wilhelm Wartmann (1882-1970) was head of the Kunsthaus Zürich from 1909 to 1949, first with the title «Erster Sekretärs» (first secretary) and since 1925 as official director of the museum. From his period of office of forty years more than 10000 letters are kept in the archive of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft and the Kunsthaus Zürich which were written by artists and often directly addressed to Dr. Wilhelm Wartmann.
Within the framwork of the project «Artist's letters», which started in May 2015, first these letters are repacked unfolded and individually in archival paper and then catalogued. 2000 selected letters have already been published online (Collections online).
Among the senders next to young artists who never became well known a second group of Swiss artists is found, whose works of art were frequently exhibited in their time. Some these were also bought be the museum and are still part of the collection. Finally, the archive contains letters of today canonized and internationally recognized artists, whose relevance was evident mostly already in the first half of last century.
Using the copies of the outgoing correspondence, exhibition catalogues, the annual report of the museum and other sources of information usually it is possible to identify all artists clearly. Furthermore the letters, postcards and telegrams normally can also be dated exactly. All letters are catalogued in the library catalogue opac.kunsthaus.ch. Each week added items can be found here, which were completely unknown before.
The project «Artist's letters» is supported by the Minerva Kunststiftung.

Nov. 30, 2004
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Wentworth Institute of Technology's tandem of Cheyenne Noble and Emily Cring was too much to handle as they both posted double-doubles in the Leopards' 62-36 victory over MIT on Tuesday night. The Engineers fall to 2-2 on the year while Wentworth improves to 3-0.
Karen Kinnaman put MIT on the board by scoring a fast-break lay-up off the opening tip. The Leopards responded with baskets from Whitney Alvarez and Mindy Thomas. Tech then scored six unanswered points, taking its largest lead of the game (8-4). Wentworth countered with a 7-2 spurt, taking the lead for good on a jumper by Cheyenne Noble in the paint with 11:03 remaining in the half. MIT stayed close during the next six minutes, trailing only by five (19-15), however, the Leopards made a final push to close the half with a 29-16 advantage.
After scoring a pair of baskets to open the second frame, the Engineers were held scoreless for the next five minutes as Wentworth extended its lead to 36-20. The Leopards' defense became impenetrable with MIT tallying a majority of its points from the free-throw line.
Christa Margossian finished with a team-high nine points on 7-of-9 shooting from the charity stripe. Michal Ruchelsman tallied eight points while Karen Kinnaman and Jasmin Moghbeli collected six rebounds each. Kinnaman also contributed seven points and two steals.
Cheyenne Noble totaled a game-high 20 points and added 13 rebounds and two blocks for Wentworth. Emily Cring had 19 points, 15 rebounds, and three steals.
The next game for MIT will be on Thursday, Dec. 2 at 5:30 p.m. when it travels to Emmanuel College.

The rooms of the existing Kunsthaus can publicly display some 400 works of art. Main pieces and significant ensembles are shown in regularly changing exhibitions, creating dialogues among genres and individual pieces across historical periods. These serve to guide visitors through the history of art and offer fresh perspectives. Curatorial projects give contemporary artists the opportunity to create new works within the context of the collection.
Art education is an integral component of the collection presentations and exhibitions. The emphasis is on an unmediated encounter with original works and fostering an appreciation of art at first hand; a variety of media are also strategically deployed. The programme offers something for all ages and educational groups, particularly schoolchildren and people with physical or mental disabilities, throughout the year, as well as temporary events such as the summer workshop and themed activities. Multilingual audioguides covering a range of interests are available free of charge.

Kenny Chesney's new SportsCenter commercial has the singer invading the small screen — and snubbing popular ESPN anchor Steve Levy. The ESPN spot, which debuted today, shows the 'Come Over' singer attempting to ignore Levy as the sportscaster tries to sit with him at the cafeteria's "cool table."
To make things funnier, Chesney is not only the only country singer sitting with the cool kids — he's almost the only human. The popular table includes team mascots Pistol Pete from Oklahoma State, Smokey from the University of Tennessee, Miles from the Denver Broncos, Hook 'Em from the University of Texas and two Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, thrown in to show that the iconic hitmaker is extra suave.
Despite his admirable attempts at complimenting the singer, and even trying to get his number, Levy is unsuccessful in his (hilarious) efforts. But Chesney assures that there are no hard feelings.
"I got to see a lot of the anchors I've become friends with over the years, a lot of the people who come to our shows," Chesney says of his participation in the 'This Is SportsCenter' ad (quote via Sony Music Nashville).
He adds, "I love visiting the ESPN campus, and I love the relationships I have there. We ran into Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan the day we filmed and we sat down at the same lunch table and had a good chat."
Aside from his television face time on ESPN's SportsCenter, Chesney will remain busy throughout the rest of his summer months with his Brothers of the Sun all-arena tour with Tim McGraw. The hitmaker's latest extravagant stage show outing will travel the country in promotion of the upcoming release of his new studio album, 'Welcome to the Fishbowl.'
Speaking on his new album, Chesney says, "'Welcome to the Fishbowl' is the most honest and authentic album I've ever recorded." The project features the hit single 'Feel Like a Rock Star' with McGraw and is the first to be released under the Blue Chair/Columbia label, Chesney's imprint co-venture with longtime label home Sony Music Nashville.

Tesla Motors Inc. /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA is, so far, peerless. It succeeded in making an electric car that is very, very far from an ugly, slow, and boring golf cart — that's what CEO Elon Musk initially set out to do as told to "60 Minutes" a while back.
But the latest offerings from Germany's BMW AG /quotes/zigman/143326/realtime XE:BMW , however, have the potential to eat away at Tesla's fan base, analysts at Barclays said in a note Tuesday. So much that they said success for Tesla's so-called Gen III vehicles is not guaranteed in the medium term.
"Combined with plateauing of Model S demand in the U.S. and Norway, we see incremental risk to the demand outlook for Tesla," the Barclays analysts said.
BMW is scheduled to unveil its plug-in hybrid i8 at an analyst event in Santa Monica, Calif., later this week.
"We think BMW have positioned themselves as technology leaders in this field potentially to out-rival Tesla," the analysts said.
BMW has two electric offerings, the i3, a city car, and the i8, a sports car. The i3 is smaller and its range is lower than Tesla's Model S, but it will appeal to the same type of driver as Teslas do, although maybe "a slightly less flashy one," the analysts said.
Tesla's target audience is likely sandwiched between the two i-brand models, they added.
BMW's emphasis on sustainability throughout the process could set its cars apart as "greener" than Tesla's, however.
Barclays rates Tesla stock underweight, with a price target of $220, and BMW's stock as an overweight, with a price target of EUR116 ($161).
Shares of Tesla fell 3.8% on Tuesday. The stock has gained 250% in the past 12 months, however, and 17% in the last three months.

The Petty Sessions Order Books for Ireland from 1850-1910 have now been made available online.
Find My Past Ireland has launched online for the first time the Petty Sessions Order Books (1850-1910), which it describes as one of the greatest untapped resources for those tracing their Irish roots.
Find My Past says: "The original Petty Sessions records held at the National Archives of Ireland were scanned by FamilySearch and have now been transcribed and made fully searchable by Find My Past Ireland. The records cover all types of cases, from allowing trespass of cattle to being drunk in charge of an ass and cart.
"These were the lowest courts in the country, which dealt with the vast bulk of legal cases, both civil and criminal. This first batch of entries contains details of 1.2 million cases, with most records giving comprehensive details of the case including: name of complainant, name of defendant, names of witnesses, cause of complaint, details of the judgement, details of a fine if any, and details of a sentence passed down if any. Another 15 million cases are to follow throughout 2012.
"This first batch of records is particularly useful for areas of the country for which family history records are notoriously sparse such as Connaught and Donegal.
"The reasons for cases being brought before the Petty Sessions Court are incredibly varied, but unsurprisingly the most common offence was drunkenness, which accounted for over a third of all cases. The top five offences tried before the courts were:
- Drunkenness – 33%
- Revenue/Tax offences – 21%
- Assault – 16%
- Local acts of nuisance – 5%
- Destruction of property – 4%
"The nature of these cases was significantly different from those in England. Figures show that the rate of conviction for drunkenness was three times greater, four times greater for tax offences, 65% higher for assault, and twice as likely for 'malicious and wilful destruction of property' than that of our nearest neighbours.
"The records are full of the minor incidents which are representative of the vast majority of cases which were brought before the Resident Magistrates. For example, we have Michael Downey of Athlone, Co. Westmeath who was charged with being 'drunk while in charge of an ass and cart in a public area', Pat Curley of Cloonakilla, Co. Westmeath who was charged with causing 'malicious injury to a bicycle', the five men and women all convicted of 'tippling in a sheebeen' (drinking in an unlicensed premises) on Queen Street, Athlone and given fines of between £1 and £5 or the five men who were charged with disturbing the Reverend J.W. Davidson as he was 'ministering a divine service' in Bundoran, Co.Donegal."

OMG! Eating more veggies while with child can cause women to give birth to girls. How big was this study? Thirty two people? Oh. Never mind.
Women who participated in the Dutch study were told to stick to a specific diet and to attempt to conceive during a specific part of their cycle. Those who chowed on the most green stuff were much more likely to bear girls, which seems a little strange to me, as I was under the impression that the sperm determines a child's sex, not a lady eating some salad. But then again, I am not a scientist. I don't know of such things.
I wonder what other old wives' tales we'll attempt to legitimize with very tiny studies. Can we possibly get ten people and have five of them step on cracks all the time and five avoid stepping on cracks and document the frequency with which both groups' mothers break their backs? I'd participate in such a study, but I"m not sure if my circle circle dot dot cootie shot will interfere with the magic of the vegetables.

You've doubtless pondered the role that chance plays in life — who wins, who loses, who lives, who dies. "Everything is Illuminated," the moving new play on offer at the Next Theatre in Evanston, ponders an especially intriguing piece of happenstance. It follows a young Jewish American as he journeys back to the Ukraine in an attempt to find the woman who, one day years ago, saved his grandfather from the Nazis, which means, of course, also finding the woman to whom he owes his entire existence.
The man at the center of this story of a personal quest, a quirky dramatic adaptation by the British writer Simon Block of the very personal and emotional debut novel by Jonathan Safran Foer (an American who, incidentally, also wrote "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"), needs help. He knows nothing of Eastern Europe. And thus he goes online and hires a pair of entertaining Ukrainians, a grandfather and grandson with limited English skills — and a flatulent dog named Sammy Davis Jr., Jr. — who have set themselves up in business as "heritage guides." Or, as they describe their work in the play, as people "who take curious Jews where they want to go." They like the word "Jew," repeating it constantly, as in, "The Jew says" or "The Jew wants to …." Whether that's lingering anti-Semitism or mere matter-of-fact acknowledgement of difference (or both) is one of the open questions of the night.
Either way, the curious Jonathan, played by Brad Smith, very much wants to find the shtetl of Trochenbrod (essentially a freestanding Jewish town in the middle of the Western Ukraine), the real-world site of wartime horrors that seems to have vanished from the current map. This disappearance is not merely physical, nor was it entirely the consequence of Nazi oppression. A young American might very much want to go on a trip of self-discovery, but back in the Old Country, where those saving their own skins outnumbered the heroes, forgetting became an equally conscious and determined act. Hence the cleansing of the maps of a town that proved of great interest to the Nazis.
"He's come a long way to seek his past," says Alex, the cheery young Ukrainian entrepreneur, pushing things along. "And I have come a long way to escape mine," says his caustic grandfather, shuddering at the very thought of confronting one moment in one day years ago, a single instant that cascaded down through multiple generations.
Even before you hear that clue, you'll already have figured out from the generational signposts alone that the quest of Jonathan and the past of Alex's grandfather will end up being somehow entwined. But that does not make this story uninteresting. On the contrary, Block's fluid adaptation takes the complex narrative structure of the novel and, a few clumsy flashbacks aside, manages to find a viable dramatic structure that director Devon De Mayo — doing some of the most frank and truthful work of her Chicago career — turns into a very warm and involving piece of theater that makes excellent use of Next's notoriously challenging space. That's partly thanks to a collage-like set from Grant Sabin, who also designed "The Glass Menagerie" at Mary-Arrchie Theatre and is one of the most interesting young designers currently working in Chicago. Nick Keenan's soundscape is a potent match.
De Mayo deftly navigates the tone of this piece, seen for the first time in the U.S. at Next. Unlike most stories with this setting, "Everything is Illuminated" (the 2005 film version starred Elijah Wood) is intended to be funny. And so it is. Smith's brittle Jonathan is an admirably unsentimental creation, full of the kind of personal neuroses that not only make the character more complex, but illuminate this central thesis, which is that none of us start our own story on the day of our birth; we merely write a chapter in a longer inter-generational narrative. Although he is subtler here than I've seen him before, Alex Goodrich is very amusing, and credible, as Alex, a fellow who favors phraseology like "I'm eating slice after slice of humble pie." He is, arguably, playing an Eastern European stereotype, but it's gently and affectionately drawn, and ultimately the character proves to be capable of more than we first expect. After all, had Jonathan's grandfather been hidden in a Gentile family, as were some of the kids from Trochenbrod, Jonathan could have been Alex's Ukrainian best friend. It was very close.
Two veteran actors are on hand when the play reaches the past and its darker themes kick in. William J. Norris holds his fire for much of the evening, barking his way through the Ukrainian grandfather role in his usual kind of persona. But when it really matters, Norris unleashes a furious monologue of bitterness and regret that plunged the entire theater into silence on Monday night. You had the distinct sense the avuncular Norris had been waiting for such a moment for several years, and the intensity of his opportunistic grab really pulls you up short. At that moment, Norris is reunited with an old Ukrainian named — well, I won't spoil the intrigue. Suffice it to say she's played by Ann Whitney, who commands all the moral force the character needs.
"Everything is Illuminated," which also features the very lively Sasha Gioppo and H. B. Ward, should do well up at Next. This is a thoughtful, nuanced piece of theater that takes a familiar theme and makes it at once strange and familiar. It is true to the specifics of its situation, but also reflective on the perils of memory, the longevity of regret, and the complex business of both acknowledging our inherent connection to, and asserting our independence from, whatever it was our relatives either did or did not do, far away and long ago.
'Everything Is Illuminated' runs through March 31 at Next Theatre, Noyes Cultural Arts Center, 927 Noyes St., Evanston; running time: 2 hours, 15 minutes; tickets: $30-$40 at 847-475-1875 or nexttheatre.org

William Lloyd Garrison
From Quotes
Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprung up.Oliver Wendell Holmes
William Lloyd Garrison (12 December 1805 - 24 May 1879) was an American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer.
- I will say, finally, that I despair of the republic while slavery exists therein. If I look up to God for success, no smile of mercy or forgiveness dispels the gloom of futurity; if to our own resources, they are daily diminishing; if to all history, our destruction is not only possible, but almost certain. Why should we slumber at this momentous crisis? If our hearts were dead to every throb of humanity; if it were lawful to oppress, where power is ample; still, if we had any regard for our safety and happiness, we should strive to crush the Vampire which is feeding upon our life-blood. All the selfishness of our nature cries aloud for a better security. Our own vices are too strong for us, and keep us in perpetual alarm; how, in addition to these, shall we be able to contend successfully with millions of armed and desperate men, as we must eventually, if slavery do not cease?
- Address to the Colonization Society (4 July 1829)
- I cherish as strong a love for the land of my nativity as any man living. I am proud of her civil, political and religious institutions — of her high advancement in science, literature and the arts — of her general prosperity and grandeur. But I have some solemn accusations to bring against her. I accuse her of insulting the majesty of Heaven with the grossest mockery that was ever exhibited to man — inasmuch as, professing to be the land of the free and the asylum of the oppressed, she falsifies every profession, and shamelessly plays the tyrant.
I accuse her, before all nations, of giving an open, deliberate and base denial to her boasted Declaration, that "all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
I accuse her of disfranchising and proscribing nearly half a million free people of color, acknowledging them not as countrymen, and scarcely as rational beings, and seeking to drag them thousands of miles across the ocean on a plea of benevolence, when they ought to enjoy all the rights, privileges and immunities of American citizens.
I accuse her of suffering a large portion of her population to be lacerated, starved and plundered, without law and without justification, at the will of petty tyrants.
I accuse her of trafficking in the bodies and souls of men, in a domestic way, to an extent nearly equal to the foreign slave trade; which traffic is equally atrocious with the foreign, and almost as cruel in its operations.
I accuse her of legalizing, on an enormous scale, licentiousness, fraud, cruelty and murder.
- Address to the World Anti-slavery Convention, London (12 July 1833)
- Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind. We love the land of our nativity, only as we love all other lands. The interests, rights, and liberties of American citizens are no more dear to us than are those of the whole human race. Hence we can allow no appeal to patriotism, to revenge any national insult or injury.
- Declaration of Sentiments, Boston Peace Conference (28 September 1838)
- We have a natural right, therefore, to seek the abolition of slavery throughout the globe. It is our special duty to make Massachusetts free soil, so that the moment the fugitive slave stands upon it, he shall take his place in the ranks of the free. God commands us to "hide the outcast, and bewray not him that wandereth." I say, LET THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE! That is "the head and front" of my "fanaticism"! That is the extent of my "infidelity"! That comprehends all of my "treason"! THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE!
- John Brown and the Principle of Nonresistance (16 December 1859)
- What shall be said, then, of those who insist upon ignoring the question of slavery as not involved in this deadly feud, and maintain that the only issue is, the support of the government and the preservation of the Union? Surely, they are "fools and blind"; for it is slaveholders alone who have conspired to seize the one, and overturn the other. As long as the enslavement of a single human being is sanctioned in the land, the curse of God will rest upon it.
- The War — Its Cause and Cure (3 May 1861)
- I have not come here with reference to any flag but that of freedom. If your Union does not symbolize universal emancipation, it brings no Union for me. If your Constitution does not guarantee freedom for all, it is not a Constitution I can ascribe to. If your flag is stained by the blood of a brother held in bondage, I repudiate it in the name of God. I came here to witness the unfurling of a flag under which every human being is to be recognized as entitled to his freedom. Therefore, with a clear conscience, without any compromise of principles, I accepted the invitation of the Government of the United States to be present and witness the ceremonies that have taken place today.
And now let me give the sentiment which has been, and ever will be, the governing passion of my soul: "Liberty for each, for all, and forever!"
- Speech in Charleston, South Carolina (14 April 1865)
The Liberator (1831 - 1866)
- Our country is the world — our countrymen are all mankind.
- Motto of The Liberator (1831)
- Let Southern oppressors tremble — let their secret abettors tremble — let their Northern apologists tremble — let all the enemies of the persecuted blacks tremble.
- No. 1 (1 January 1831)
- I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; — but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse — I will not retreat a single inch — AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.
- For, by the logic of Concord, Lexington, and Bunker Hill, and by the principles enforced by this nation in its boasted Declaration of Independence, Capt. Brown was a hero, struggling against fearful odds, not for his own advantage, but to redeem others from a horrible bondage, to be justified in all that he aimed to achieve, however lacking in sound discretion. And by the same logic and the same principles, every slave-holder has forfeited his right to live, if his destruction be necessary to enable his victims to break the yoke of bondage; and they, and all who are disposed to aid them by force and arms, are fully warranted in carrying rebellion to any extent, and securing freedom at whatever cost.
- No. 170 (28 October 1859)
- Better to be always in a minority of one with God — branded as madman, incendiary, fanatic, heretic, infidel — frowned upon by "the powers that be," and mobbed by the populace — or consigned ignominiously to the gallows, like him whose "soul is marching on," though his "body lies mouldering in the grave," or burnt to ashes at the stake like Wickliffe, or nailed to the cross like him who "gave himself for the world," — in defence of the RIGHT, than like Herod, having the shouts of a multitude crying, "It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!"
- "Valedictory" (29 December 1865) in the last issue of The Liberator (1 January 1866)
Thoughts on African Colonization (1832)
- Thoughts on African Colonization : Or, An Impartial Exhibition of the Doctrines, Principles and Purposes of the American Colonization Society (1832)
- Is Error, though unwittingly supported by a host of good men, stronger than Truth? Are Right and Wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion? Oh no! Then I will go forward in the strength of the Lord of Hosts — in the name of Truth — and under the banner of Right. As it is not by might nor by power, but by the Spirit of God, that great moral changes are effected, I am encouraged to fight valiantly in this good cause, believing that I shall "come off conqueror, and more than conqueror" — yet not I, but Truth and Justice. It is in such a contest that one shall chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight.
- Introductory Remarks
- Little boldness is needed to assail the opinions and practices of notoriously wicked men; but to rebuke great and good men for their conduct, and to impeach their discernment, is the highest effort of moral courage. The great mass of mankind shun the labor and responsibility of forming opinions for themselves. The question is not — what is true? but — what is popular? Not — what does God say? but — what says the public? Not — what is my opinion? but — what do others believe ?
- Introductory Remarks
- Unhappily, to borrow the words of Ganganelli, a large majority of mankind are "mere abortions": calling themselves rational and intelligent beings, they act as if they had neither brains nor conscience, and as if there were no God, no accountability, no heaven, no hell, no eternity.
- Introductory Remarks

A Lyman woman was gunned down near a Spartanburg domestic violence shelter Wednesday morning, and deputies have charged her estranged husband in the killing.
A Lyman woman was gunned down near a Spartanburg domestic violence shelter Wednesday morning, and deputies have charged her estranged husband in the killing.
Robert Lee O'Shields Sr., 52, of 277 Henderson Meadow Way in Lyman was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, according to the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office.
He is being held at the Spartanburg County jail without bond.
Mariann Eileen O'Shields, 55, had been staying at a domestic violence shelter in Spartanburg since March 17, incident reports state.
Mariann O'Shields had walked her daughter to a bus stop just before 7 a.m. Wednesday when a victim advocate working at the shelter heard several gunshots, according to the reports.
The location of the shelter, operated by SAFE Homes — Rape Crisis Coalition, is not being disclosed to protect the shelter and its clients.
Deputies responded to the shooting, blocking off several roads near the crime scene. Shell casings were collected, the reports state, and a witness said she saw a white van speed away.
Mariann O'Shields was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 9:08 a.m. in an operating room, Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger said in a statement. She was shot three times.
SAFE Homes Executive Director Lynn Hawkins said she has been working with the Sheriff's Office, coroner's office and Department of Social Services on their investigations.
"It's hard to talk about it. We're just devastated," Hawkins said.
SAFE Homes has been in existence since 1987 and operates the largest domestic violence shelter in the state. The facility can house up to 54 women from Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union counties.
Hawkins said the organization has therapists and crisis victim advocates on staff and teaches clients about what to do if they suspect they are being followed or if their abuser is near.
"We tell them to go to the police if you ever see somebody following you," Hawkins said.
Robert O'Shields was arrested at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.
Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office Master Deputy Kevin Bobo said deputies found his vehicle parked at a home on Ethel Road.
"After he showed up on Ethel Road, those people took him to the hospital for this alleged panic attack," Bobo said.
Bobo added that he did not know Robert O'Shields' relationship to those who took him to the hospital.
Wearing an orange jumpsuit, O'Shields appeared distraught at a Wednesday night bond hearing.
"We've got some serious stuff here," Magistrate Judge Dwight Smith said.
"Yes sir," O'Shields said quietly.
O'Shields could face the death penalty if found guilty, Smith added.
Robert O'Shields also has been charged with violation of an order of protection. Mariann O'Shields had been granted an order of protection on April 8, prohibiting him from communicating with her except through text messages pertaining to their daughter.
According to incident reports, Mariann and Robert O'Shields met at the sheriff's office on April 19 and April 27 to exchange their child.
During that time, reports state, Robert O'Shields unlawfully communicated with her and made comments such as "I said a prayer for you today" and told her he had "taken all (the) money out of the bank to build a house" for their daughter.
Bobo said it is not common practice for couples with protective orders to meet at the sheriff's office to exchange a child, but that was court-ordered in this case.
Mariann O'Shields had gone to the sheriff's office Tuesday to file a report of a violation of protection order.
"Even if you do everything that you can, even if you file for an order of protection, even if you go to shelter, even if you are trying to escape with every fiber of your being, you can still be murdered," Hawkins said. "Protective orders can't stop a bullet."
Many residents who lived near Robert and Mariann O'Shields said they were "dumbfounded" and in a state of shock.
Neighbors Mark and Joan Wright appeared to be in disbelief when they turned on the news at 5 p.m. in their living room, and Robert O'Shields' mug shot flashed on the screen.
"We were totally taken by surprise," said Mark Wright, sitting in front of the television newscast. "They were very friendly. … We never saw any signs of any physical abuse."
They described their former neighbors as "helpful," "friendly" and simply "normal."
Robert O'Shields has no prior criminal charges, according to criminal records from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
Calls for service records to the O'Shields' residence were not available by Wednesday evening.
Mark and Joan Wright live down the street from where the O'Shields had lived previously before purchasing property in another subdivision nearby in Lyman.
The O'Shields sold their old home on Pickle Buddy Court and were living in a camper on their property on Henderson Meadow Way while clearing land to build a new home, according to neighbors from both subdivisions.
Other neighbors said the two had been going through a divorce and expressed concerns for the 7-year-old daughter, now without a mother and with a father facing felony charges.
It is unknown how Robert O'Shields became aware of where his wife had been staying.
"I don't know for sure; the best I can guess is that maybe he saw her and followed her at some point," Hawkins said.
Bobo added, "I don't know if he followed her, or tracked her phone, or if the child told him or what."

Message Queue also provides, as a convenience, an AdminConnectionFactory class that hides the details of the JMX Service URL and JMX connector stub. The Admin Connection Factory uses the Message Queue Port Mapper service to get the relevant JMX Service URL (regardless of the form being used) and thereby obtain a JMX connector stub. JMX applications that use the Admin Connection Factory only need to know the broker's host and Port Mapper port. The scheme is shown in the following figure.

The question, "Where were you on Sept. 11?" ordinarily asks for your location on that date one year ago. But as we mark the anniversary, the question needs an important update: Where are you on Sept. 11, 2002? What has changed at ground zero—as dramatically chronicled in William Langewische's current series in The Atlantic—must have an analogue in our national psyche. As cleanup efforts give way to plans for rebuilding in Manhattan, picturing my physical location and emotional reaction one year ago has given way, many times over, to imagining what I want to emerge from the events of that day. Far more important now than a year ago is how we answer the question, what do we want more, revenge or healing?
Plans—possible or actual—to invade Iraq and oust Saddam Hussein began to emerge in the spring, once it became evident that many Al Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden, had escaped. The putative goal is to liberate the Iraqi people from a murderous despot and rid the world of a deadly menace. But it would be naïve to think America's motives are absolutely pure. How, after all, can we separate the noble desire to eradicate evil from the need to slake our thirst for revenge? What do we need more: to do whatever it takes to promote democracy or to identify an evil to be rooted out, whether it is Hussein or bin Laden? To be sure, sometimes the two goals go hand in hand. The problem, from my standpoint, lies in the assumption that American citizens will tolerate the administration's inarticulateness and fuzzy thinking and simply support a generic invasion of anything deemed evil because "it's the right thing to do."
Prevention and being proactive seem unambiguously judicious. Who could argue with taking pre-emptive measures to stop further attacks and suffering before they can be inflicted? The problem is, reasonable people can differ over what constitutes reasonable steps. Some favor taking measured steps to stop tragedy before it can happen, while others advocate doing "whatever is necessary." There's the rub.
At about the same time that tough talk on Iraq started heating up, I began listening to AM talk radio. I've managed to familiarize myself with a range of nationally syndicated conservative hosts spouting their opinions with the help of like-minded and a few unfelicitously unlike-minded callers. Of the many things I've learned, the most striking revelation is the popularity of the term patriot. Until I started tuning in, I can safely say that I had not heard the term patriot except in reference to early American history and a missile used in the Persian Gulf war. To judge by the way so many callers introduce themselves as "a patriot," the word has become a shibboleth for willingness to enforce the American way as they narrowly define it by any means necessary. Terms like freedom and virtue dominate their shrill remarks, a fact that in another era might have made them revolutionary heroes, but today places them in the center of a radical rethinking of what it means to be an American.
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, as I watched live and taped footage of mass murder being committed upon thousands of innocent Americans, I felt something I hadn't felt since I was a teenager: I felt the emotion of patriotism. Seeing one tower, then the other, pierced by a plane, I felt personally attacked, personally violated. Watching human beings desperately leaping from window ledges 100 stories high, I felt my own world turned upside down. I felt powerless and vulnerable; and, more than this, I felt angry, because people with whom I could imagine having a casual conversation, people I might have grown up with or known at college, had been targeted and snuffed out simply because they were going about their lives. I wanted to go back to the way it was before such events seemed possible. Then, knowing this could not be, I wanted harsh justice for everyone—or at least someone—who might be gleefully watching his plan come to fruition. One need not be American to have felt all this, but like many others, my human empathy was accompanied by a profound feeling of national kinship.
To some this will no doubt seem obvious. To me it came as a jolt, unaccustomed as I am to confronting, let alone embracing, my national identity. My country throws its weight around in ways that embarrass and enrage me, operating under a spectacular double standard of volubly decrying injustice in certain quarters while elsewhere supporting repressive regimes that suit our economic interests. On 9/11, however, I didn't shrink from being an American; I simply was one.
Where was I—where am I—on Sept. 11? I was—and still am—watching innocent people suffer and die from the presence of evil in our world. And I was and still am feeling ambivalent about my patriotism, but certain about my not being a "patriot." For that horrible event a year ago must certainly have confirmed for us that being a patriot does not mean having the courage to kill and die in the name of freedom and righteousness, but knowing that freedom is not an imperative but a condition in which healing and justice need not be at odds.

Lights were bright and the action swift at the Teens Inc. 4th Annual March Madness/3-on-3 Tournament at LaSalle College High School in Wyndmoor on March 27.
Twenty-five teams of teens from ages 13-18 competed for the coveted 1st prize: Diamond Club Phillies tickets with premier parking. Guys and gals all battled on the court to help raise money for the Guatemala service trip this summer.
Teams named Mutombo, the All Stars, All Black and Elite, some with four on a team, dunked, pivoted and passed their way through the brackets set-up by Timmy Dwyer and Chris Lane. Competition was electrifying, with about 150 spectators, including parents, volunteers going to Guatemala and students from the 15 high schools and grade schools, cheering on the teams. Even the losers bracket had stiff competition.
Sportsmanship flourished among the teams, all of whom had an enjoyable time. During breaks in play, team players were given a free Gatorade or water. While the games were being played, hot dogs, pretzels and drinks were being sold to viewers. Parents and teens going on the Guatemala service trip assisted at registration and food sales.
As the contest progressed, some of the leading players from local high schools continued to engage and narrow down the competition. With four teams remaining the final games were played.
Bomb Squad from LaSalle High School ended up on top winning the four Phillies tickets donated by Brown Brothers Harriman, and 2nd place went to team Shea and the prize of a $50 gift certificate to P.J. Whelihan's and Teens Inc. T-shirts. The 3rd-place team, All Black, won a $25 gift certificate to Primo Hoagies. These players and volunteers helped to raise $1,000. towards the Guatemala service trip.
Teenagers Inc. is a nonprofit teen organization located in Chestnut Hill and supported by the Chestnut Hill Community Fund and other local foundations. For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com

The use of dogs to pursue, tramautize, and kill other animals (ethical implicationas aside) is very disruptive to regular hunters, woodland users, and wildlife populations. It is a sadistic, ativistic activity.
