Irena (Maria Chwalibog) bears one burden each day as she delivers the mail and several others when she goes home to continuing penury after her divorce from an alcoholic husband. She also has the chore of caring for a dying relative, accomplished partly out of compassion and partly on the hope that she will inherit a little cash when the woman dies.
Her son is the only bright spot in her existence, an existence they spend together in an unfurnished, rundown apartment with no running water and the noise of the trains traveling along the nearby track.
Then one day she meets Jacek (Boguslaw Linda), an equally lonely bachelor, as she is delivering him his disability pension -- he is lame from a mining accident. It was hardly a planned occurrence.
Irena faints as she hands the surprised Jacek his envelope, and the two kindred spirits have a shared understanding that grows when they continue to see each other. Irena becomes frustrated at times with her son, who has a tendency to get into trouble, and that situation gets worse instead of better.
Then her boss tells her that her mail route may be taken away from her, and when her dying relative finally succumbs, Irena is not only left without an inheritance, but faced with a funeral bill.
In desperation she steals the pensioners' money that she is supposed to deliver, puts her son in a boarding home, buys an old car to make a dash for West Berlin and gets ready to escape her home, her life, and her poverty. At this point, the story has shifted gears as it heads into a narrative warp that signals a surprise ending.

i didn't find any font named marlett.ttf in my vista installation... but i copied all fonts from vista (that are under 1mb) to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ and the console (and buddy notifications) now look good. so i dont know what the right font is. but definetly not marlett.ttf.
m 13:21 (cur | prev) . . (+153) . . Dinosaw (Talk | contribs) (Added samba to the list of preperations to prevent ntlm_auth out of date/absent errors)
I undid this change, because I have multiple arch installs (none with samba installed), and steam works fine on them. winehq doesn't have anything about this either Thestinger 13:59, 20 August 2010 (EDT)
When installing steam it couldn't connect with the steam server and when run from the terminal it would mention something to do with ntlm_auth being absent or out of date. http://wiki.winehq.org/NtlmAuthSetupGuide this said samba contained the required file.
To test I removed samba though pacman and once again steam would not connect to the server and crashed, the terminal gave this output:
err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
That you can run steam fine without samba suggests that there is another source for this file? Dinosaw 11:21, 24 August 2010 (BST)
Out of date
This is now out of date. It has been removed and added to AUR
"DRM-free" games
Should we list games which are "DRM-free" (as in you can run them without opening Steam, like Eversion)?
Split page?
I think this page should just be reserved for using Steam itself, and using it with Wine, too. We can then move all the games and their fixes/dependencies to a "Steam Games" page, maybe?
- Steam ships the games with the libraries that they depend on, so the fixes in the article are really just bugs that should be reported to Valve. For example Sword and Sworcery comes with a 32-bit curl library, among several others. thestinger (talk) 22:24, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Correction for "Native Steam on Linux" section
The link at the end of the blurb about pure 64 bit installs doesn't lead anywhere. It should probably be removed or updated (with the section created perhaps?).

North Island College's Global Learning Initiative, in collaboration with AIDS Vancouver Island, will present a screening of Positive Women: Exposing Injustice this Thursday at the Stan Hagen Theatre.
Positive Women: Exposing Injustice is a documentary that takes its audience into the hearts and minds of four positive women bravely speaking out about their personal experiences living with HIV. Legal experts, doctors, counsellors and support workers also lend their voices to challenge current Canadian laws that are letting down the very women they are meant to protect.
What happens if a woman does not disclose her HIV-positive status to a sexual partner? How does criminalization impact HIV-positive women in Canada, who are trying to live their lives in the shadow of stigma and fear? Does the law actually protect women's health?
Women's voices have rarely been heard on these important issues.
The stories of these four courageous women are real, raw and from the heart, and tell the truth about what it's like to live in a society that often criminalizes intimate behaviour between consenting adults and discriminates against those living with HIV.
Following the film, there will be a discussion led by Jeanette Reinhardt and Sarah Sullivan from AIDS Vancouver Island (AVI) regarding issues pertaining to HIV and safety.
AIDS Vancouver Island is a community-based AIDS service organization that provides education, advocacy and support to clients. AVI also provides education and prevention information to schools, the broader community and target populations. They have offices in the communities of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, the Comox Valley, and Campbell River, and also offer services in the Port Hardy area.
The Global Learning Initiative is a student-driven project that facilitates a greater understanding of global health issues, by learning about social and health practices in local and foreign settings, and provides students with opportunities to experience different contexts and culture.
Global Learning has partnered with such organizations as World Community, Africa Technical Service (ACTS) and A'eka-lixil to realize these goals.
In 2009 and 2010, students and faculty travelled to Uganda, Nepal, Mozambique, Rivers Inlet and Kingcome Inlet as part of NIC's Global Learning Initiative and in 2011, NIC students returned to Nepal and Rivers Inlet.
This presentation will begin Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 and the event is open to the community.
Donations to the NIC Global Learning Initiative will be gratefully accepted. The Stan Hagen Theatre is on NIC's Comox Valley campus.
For further information, contact Susan Auchterlonie at 250-334-5271 or visit www.nic.bc.ca.

PEORIA, Ill. - March 4, 2013 --A private plane carrying magician David Copperfield made an unscheduled stop in Illinois after it made a "frightening" sound en route from Las Vegas to New York.
Peoria International Airport officials say Copperfield's plane landed there after it began experiencing problems around 1:45 a.m. Monday.
The (Peoria) Journal Star reports that Copperfield was supposed to appear live on NBC's Today Show on Monday, but ended up filming the interview remotely from Byerly Aviation in Peoria, 160 miles southwest of Chicago.
The famed illusionist told the Today Show that the plane made crackling noises at 37,000 feet that he recorded on his cellphone. He says he "kind of freaked out." He also Tweeted that the incident was "so scary."
Copperfield took a commercial flight back to Las Vegas this morning.

Triad woman wins big: $1,000 per week for life
Triad woman wins big: $1,000 per week for life
Guilford County resident Frances Landrum is the second player to win the top prize in the $1,000 a Week for Life! game.
The game's top prize guarantees winners an annual prize of $52,000 for the rest of their lives. The winner can also choose a lump sum cash prize, worth $708,000, instead of the annuity.
Landrum chose the lump sum option and received a check for $481,440 after state and federal taxes were withheld. She purchased the lucky ticket at Lowe's Foods on Main Street in Archdale.
The tickets, which went on sale last August, are available for $1, $2, $5, and $10 per play.
As of Friday morning, one top prize and many other prizes remain unclaimed in the $1,000 a Week for Life! game.

I'd like there to be a feature that tells us whether or not a user is online, like under their name and avatar when they make a post it would say "Online" or "Offline" or maybe just a list of everyone who's on under the topics of the main forum page.
I was also thinking maybe an IRC chatroom would be a nice little addition.
Maybe organize your game videos and your music videos like you do your anime. For game videos do it by game ( starcraft vods, streetfighter stuff, other, etc) and music videos by artist, or something along those lines.
BTW awesome website and keep up the good work!
I think those of us that have supported the site so far should be the first round of mods
The old guy
Eh, if they use IE anyway they've got problems. xD Firefox > IE.
Anyway, suggestions: A timestamp would be nice, although then we'd have to set our timezones. example: "Posted 10:43am 8/15/06" instead of "posted 1 hour ago".
Also having a signature would be cool, not that useful, but a plus. It seems like you got the page thing down so thanks on that. Spell check would be nice but its not necessiary, because I know how much of a pain it is to implement one of those. Also when a moderation system is implemented there has to be more than just a delete of your post and a slap on the wrist. They should lose something , but I'm not sure what yet. I'm sure I'll come back to this topic ^_^
Edit: Ohh ohh ohh, also the ability to set how many posts per page. As in giving us options of either 10, 20, 25, or 50 and then that many posts will appear per page. But I don't know if thats possible on this type of forum, just an idea.
Edit number 2: A post count. ^_^ So, if ourselves or others look at our profile they can see how many posts we have and if we are active on the forums.
Edit number 3: Also, I suggest a gaming thread. Seeing as how a lot of people said they got into anime from final fantasy and such, and how a lot of games are based after animes and visa versa, I think they go hand in hand. ^_^
Expanding on Crossy's moderation thingy:
I'm thinking after 3 offences, there's a suspension period, making them unable to post in the forums/watch anything for a set amount of time, like a week. And when they come back if they do it again they get banned. Banning from just the forums though I'm not sure if the entire website would be completely necessary.
And I don't think the supporters should be the first round mods, as half of the supporters I've seen so far are 14. It should be someone who's qualified, someone who's been a mod before on a different forum.

I second everything he said there. I don't believe that money should be able to buy everything. Hell, on my RO server if you donate I'm not giving you godlike items or anything like that. And on the RO forums, well, they're not really active so I never have to mod them, but I wouldn't give some random guy who donated power to screw around on the forums I worked hard to build at, it just doesn't make sense. Especially if they're young. Usually young = immature = when angry can do stupid/irrational things. Anyway, if you want more moderators you should go through an application/interview process if you can't take anyone that you've known for a while in real life, thats my suggestion.
Also fuzzy's moderation idea is ingenious, I like it. ^_^
23 is too young? I've been a mod on a few different forums and I would'nt mind adding another. I understand not letting kids be mods, but there are some mature people here that I think will make good mods.
I agree with Fuzz on the "Three strikes your out" plan. But I don't think people under suspension should'nt be able to watch videos. I think they should be unable to post in the forum, unable to vote on vids, and unable to comment on vids. My $.02
The old guy
That's a good idea on the suspension bit, and I said HALF the donaters are too young, not all. In fact I made a point of saying half instead of most so you woulden't bring up your own age in defense. Way to miss.

I wouldn't say 23 is too young, and I bet you'd make a good mod, but I can almost guarentee some of the people who donated wouldn't. This IS something that you need maturity and knowledge for. And if you really wanna be a mod here try getting a hold of shinji somehow, or maybe just wait. Who knwos, maybe he'll make a "mod application" thread or something. I wouldn't mind trying out for it myself.
I'd suggest letting us help you with the uploading with the music/game videos and animes. but then taking into account video quality of our uploads is still a little tricky >.<'

Crossy already made a good point that if user uploads were allowed then it would be incredibly easy to hack/completely ruin the website. So that probably won't happen

ahhh my apologizes for not reading more into the forum. there was just so much random chat in the earlier threads to look into ahah
Allow user profiles to add personal contacts, not really a a social networking "friends" list but a list of names for easy acccess and contact.
Also, when I click a forum can there be a way to be directed to the latest page?
http://www.simplemachines.org/ i suppose i posted that in the wrong place, now that you switched it around. its what we use on another forum i go to, and it works wondefully. the layout is easy, and has a lot of user things you can do, and even some little addons to make it even nicer
i wonder how long this song will last.

One of my friends is a survivalist. He stocked up on canned goods and other non-perishable foods thinking that the end of civilization is near. And he's asking me questions about what bicycle to use after the world devolves into chaos.
It's a given that sooner or later our civilization will collapse. I lie awake nights thinking about it, and rather than dwell on the admittedly slim chance of nuclear war, a meteor impact, or an invasion of aliens from outer space, I prefer to think about the very real possibility of a zombie apocalypse. Some may scoff, but when you consider that there's probably a grad student somewhere thinking that a zombie chicken would be really funny, working out a survival plan is in our best interests.
Popular culture has given us a few road signs to follow toward Armageddon. I'm thinking about movies like "Sean of the Dead". If you look carefully in the background, zombies are everywhere well before the protagonist becomes aware of them. They're shambling to work and back or waiting in the queue for the bus.
It's true. They're already with us. As evidence, I give you my teenage son and his buddies. They all exhibit slack-jawed empty stares with their ear buds in place as they send endless text messages or play video games. They listen to factory noises and insist that it's music. Communication is through grunts, hand gestures, and a painfully bored expression. Their diet consists of prodigious amounts of snack food, microwaved cheeseburgers, and energy drinks. It's only a matter of time until their conversion is complete. One night they'll run out of Cheetos and switch over to eating brains. I keep my bedroom door locked.
"28 Days Later" should be taken as a cautionary tale about the dangers posed by fast moving zombies. They could run without fatigue due to lactic acid build up in their muscles. So a bicycle would be an essential survival tool. Some would think that a mountain bike would be best for escaping a slavering zombie horde, but I have another suggestion. Any decent commuter bike will accelerate and corner faster than a mountain bike, and since it's most likely to be needed in an urban area, good pavement will be available.
But please don't wait until the menace is nearly upon you, with teeth trying to bite your arm. Get a commuter bike and start training now, this very day, and if you use it to go to work and back, you'll develop those critical skills that can save your life when the zombies attack. Many drivers are zombies already. They just don't know it. You'll be ready when they turn. And if you hear a car emitting a thumpa-thumpa-thumpa loud enough to rattle the windows in nearby buildings, that's probably my son or one of his friends. Try to distract them with a bag of Cheetos, and then sprint as if your life depended on it. It's worked for me.

EU asks WTO panel to rule on China's steel duties
BEIJING (AP) — The European Union on Friday asked the World Trade Organization to rule in a dispute over Chinese anti-dumping duties imposed on steel pipes imported from EU countries.
The EU said in a news release that it made the request to the WTO after unsuccessful consultations in July to resolve the dispute over the duties imposed by China on imports of high-performance stainless steel seamless tubes from EU countries.
"The EU continues its fight against unjustified Chinese trade defense measures, which do not comply with WTO rules and often seem to be motivated by retaliation," said EU Trade spokesman John Clancy in the statement.
But Beijing has said the duties would protect Chinese companies.
"This is not an act of retaliation but to protect the domestic steel trade," said analyst Zhang Lin in a statement posted on the official site of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce in June when the EU lodged a complaint with WTO.
The statement says China's steel products are often subject to anti-dumping investigations in overseas markets. "It is a reasonable and logical measure for hitting back," Zhang said.
China and the EU have been embroiled in a series of trade tiffs. A dispute over China's solar panels was defused in July after Chinese companies agreed to set minimum prices. Meanwhile, the Chinese commerce ministry spokesman Shen Danyang said last week that Beijing continued to investigate whether the EU has been dumping its wine and poly silicon products in China.
China imposed anti-dumping duties ranging from 9.2 percent to 14.4 percent on the high-performance steel pipes imported from EU countries and Japan in 2012.
The EU said that the duties have significantly hampered its access to the Chinese market and that the WTO consultations — joined by Japan and held in mid-July — were unsuccessful.

Independence is shaping up to have quite a busy weekend this week with both the Park Trot 5K and the Independence Farmers and Craft Market opening for the season!
Independence is shaping up to have quite a busy weekend this week with both the Park Trot 5K and the Independence Farmers and Craft Market opening for the season!
A little more than a year ago we were amazed as nearly 1,000 runners hit the pavement; running, walking or strolling through one of our city's most beautiful parks during our 1st Annual Park Trot 5K. This Saturday, May 4, these 1,000 runners will be back and nearly doubled at Waterfall Park for the 2nd Annual Park Trot 5K.
The Park Trot 5K is a FREE 5K run/walk that is open to the public. The event aims to promote increased use and access of the city's parks and trails. By providing this race free of charge, we hope families will enjoy the event and want to spend more time visiting the many parks and trails Independence has to offer.
This year's race is being hosted through a partnership between the Independence Health Department, Independence Parks & Recreation and KC Running Company. In addition, many local businesses have partnered up to make this year's run possible, including: Centerpoint Medical Center, Bass Pro Shops, The Examiner, Nature's Pantry, Hy-Vee, Balanced You Yoga Studio, Stand Up! Blue Springs, Dick's Sporting Goods, Cosentino's Sun Fresh, GEHA and Studio on Main.
At this year's Park Trot, not only can you explore Waterfall Park, but the Building a Healthier Independence team will also have their pedal-powered bike blender set up for a limited number of demonstrations. So after you have trotted through Waterfall Park, stop by the BHI tent and pedal up a delicious, fresh-fruit smoothie! While enjoying your smoothie, hang around and watch the Park Trot Kids Dash, mingle with fellow runners and wait for the race and raffle prize winners to be announced!
Then, if you are looking for a way to cool down from your run or just want to continue leading a healthy lifestyle, swing by the Independence Farmers & Craft Market located on the Independence Square! The Market will be opening at 5 a.m. for the first time this season and will stay open until 1 p.m. or until produce is exhausted.
Along with fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade jams and jellies, and one-of-a-kind crafts, the Farmers Market will also be hosting the annual Arbor Day Celebration at 10 a.m. held in collaboration with the merchants of the Independence Square. During this celebration, Independence will be recognized for the 13th time as a Tree City USA and Tree Line USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation.
So come on out, explore the healthier side of Independence. Stroll through our picturesque parks, eat our fresh and local produce and enjoy the city we all call home. Get Movin', Get Healthy!

Nicki Minaj has confessed she was terrified she wouldn't live up to fans' expectations during her stint as a judge on "American Idol."
The "Superbass" hit maker joined the singing competition last year but only kept her spot at the panel for one season before deciding to depart from the show in May.
She's now back in the studio focusing on music, but she admits she felt like she was at "the bottom of the totem pole" during her time on the panel alongside fierce rival Mariah Carey, and fellow judges Keith Urban and Randy Jackson.
Speaking to Queen Latifah on her talk show on Tuesday, Minaj said, "'Idol' was scary. And just as a black woman and a part of hip hop, I felt like I was at the bottom of the totem pole, in terms of proving yourself and showing that you're intelligent and you can carry on a conversation and speak about many different topics.
"So I felt like I was kind of representing for so many different kind of people. Rap, black women and women in general. I didn't want it to come across as a caricature of Nicki Minaj. I wanted it to be the human being, who nobody ever really speaks to. And that's what I found. People would come up to me and be like, 'You're a real person!'"

Seduced by Sidux Linux: Before my wife thinks that I'm being tempted, perhaps she should read this first: Sidux is a desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on the "unstable" but most modern and up-to-date Debian branch called Sid (from the Toy Story character). The main aim of Sidux is to enhance and stabilize Sid, using its very own packages and scripts to allow a hassle-free use of Debian's latest and cutting edge software. This unique aspiration enticed me to try out Sidux (2007-04 Pre 2).
The latest version of Sidux code named "Eros" is still under development, currently on its second preview release. It is available on a LiveCD installer which I got from here. I also found out that Sidux is hot in Distrowatch ranking because it is currently listed at number 22. Now, I'm going to share to you my full experience using this one of a kind distro.
Test Machine Specs:
Board: Intel Corporation D102GGC2
Processor: 3.40 GHz Intel Pentium D
Hard Drive: Samsung 80GB ATA with 8GB allocated to VM disk
Memory: 2GB DDR2 RAM with 512MB allocated to VM memory
Display: RADEON X300/X550 Series [Display adapter]
I loaded the ISO and just booted the normal way without passing any parameter whatsoever. Then without delay, I was taken to the Sidux KDE desktop in a matter of seconds. I clicked on the "Sidux-installer" icon, and so began the installation process. By the way, Sidux comes with its own tabbed-style installer which I find easy to use. But for the new-to-Linux users, the disk partitioning part can be a little bit tricky. The hard drive installation using VMware virtualization software merely took 5 minutes to complete. However, no prompt appeared that would supposedly ask the user to reboot the system after the install. So, I just did it manually using the K menu.
It was a successful installation as audio, video, CD-ROM, USB, and Ethernet were properly detected and worked just fine.
Look and Feel:
Sidux is fast at boot/start-up and is very responsive. The overall look is pretty sleek; the artworks from GRUB menu to the main desktop has a pleasant aura. Sidux uses KDE, but there is a Fluxbox (see fast and lightweight window managers) option for geeks, and for those who want an even lighter desktop. For those of us who are familiar with KDE, we can say that it is very easy to use and very newbie-friendly. Sidux also comes with its own "Control Center" for a trouble-free hardware and software configuration.
Package Management:
The pre-installed software applications in Sidux are strictly free/open source. Therefore, proprietary programs like Flash and Java are not available out-of-the-box. There is a "metapackage installer" that can be used for downloading and installing additional packages from Sidux's repository. But, I can't seem to find any GUI for uninstalling and updating software applications. I would love to see Synaptic Package Manager installed by default on the final release version.
I can't say much about the stability of Eros because it is still under development. However, I can tell that it is on the right track of becoming a quality Linux desktop operating system based on its ability to properly detect and support my hardware configuration.
For a development release, I find Sidux quite good and steady. The absence of a graphical package manager is a big drawback to Linux newbies, but its speed, responsiveness and light footprint makes it an ideal OS for older computer machines.
Sidux may have successfully seduced me, but I have to wait and try the Distribution Release so that I can properly and fully express my desire for this fine distro.

That's not so surprising when one takes the time to try and understand the San Diego surf scene. Being blessed with consistently quality surf, surfers here are quite satisfied to stay low-key and surf the local waves, feeling little need to draw attention to themselves. Other areas like to brag about being called "surf city" and so forth, but down here people just surf and they do it very well.
Over the years, however, a decent amount of local surfers have done San Diego proud by surfing competitively and winning many events and titles.
One is Skip Frye, who was once voted the second-most popular surfer in the world, according to Surfer Magazine. The title was based upon the magazine's readers' poll, which, back in the 1960s, was the main source of surf information.
Skip was in every magazine and was at the forefront of modern surfing leading into the shortboard revolution. To this day, he logs more water time than most and continues to create his highly sought after boards. On July 26, he was inducted into Huntington Beach's Surf-ers' Hall of Fame.
Debbie Melvile Beachum, another notable local, brought home the Women's World Surfing title in the 1970s by besting all other competitors in hard-fought competition around the world. Debbie still surfs with the style and commitment of a world champion every time she paddles out at her favorite breaks in La Jolla.
Chris O'Rourke was probably one of the most gifted surfers to ever call San Diego home. By his late teens in the 1980s, Chris had racked up more amateur wins in California than anyone — and I believe this record still stands. Poised to take on the World Tour and make San Diego proud once more, he was sadly stricken down by cancer. His influences continue to be felt, especially on the La Jolla reefs where style and bravado reign supreme.
Jennifer Smith is a two-time winner of the Women's World Championship in longboarding. Having grown up in Pacific Beach surrounded by surf legends like her dad Paul, uncle Andy, Frye and Joe Roper, the bar was set very high for her from day one. She excels at surfing on all types of boards and continues to improve and stay very relevant to women's surfing.
The San Diego competitive spark is about to flame on again by surfers like Jake Halstead and a very young Ryland Rubens. Jake is fresh off of a third-place finish in the juniors division of the very competitive U.S. Open of Surfing event that finished up July 27 in Huntington Beach. Ryland recently became a member of the amateur U.S. surf team and is showing great potential.
All of these people surf for the pure love of it, but have managed to take their surfing to some of the highest levels in the sport. The coolest thing is that you can surf with them just about any day you paddle out.
Till next time,

The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) formally celebrated the opening of its new headquarters at 499 Van Buren Street in Monterey at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 14. The 10,500 square-foot building was acquired by Middlebury College on behalf of the Monterey Institute from the law firm of Horan, Lloyd, Karachale, Dyer, Schwartz, Law and Cook, and has undergone significant renovations. It occupies the northeast corner of Van Buren and Jefferson Streets, just down the block from the Samson Student Center at the center of the campus.
CNS is the largest nongovernmental organization in the United States devoted exclusively to research and training on nonproliferation issues. Its reputation and operations have grown steadily since 1989 when MIIS professor Dr. William Potter founded CNS with a handful of students. Today CNS has offices in Monterey, Washington D.C. and Vienna, Austria, and had long since outgrown its old offices at 400 Pacific Street. Happy CNS staff members showed guests at the opening around the new headquarters, including spacious offices, a large seminar room, and a dedicated videoconference facility.

Extreme anxiety often characterizes a person experiencing panic attacks. An attack occurs out of the blue, manifested through intense and severe symptoms. Individuals who suffer often confuse their experience to a heart attack. The severity of panic attack symptom might even lead to the anxiety of dying. Dying is actually not a potential result or consequence, despite the intensity and severity of the symptoms.
Without any real cause, a panic can occur. Increased heartbeat, difficulty in breathing, chest pains, nausea, dizziness, tingling or numbness of the hands, hot flashes or chills are some of the symptoms experienced by the body of the individual suffering in responding to an irrational fear. Some symptoms may also be experienced in a cognitive or mental manifestation. A person suffering might feel extreme terror and anxiety on losing control. These individuals might also feel extreme fear of possibly being embarrassed or of dying.
Individuals who suffer from the disorder also feel anxious that they might also experience another panic soon. Individuals who have history of attacks are also more prone to suffering another one. Thus, people tend to avoid specific stimulus because they are afraid that another panic may occur again because of that particular stimulus. These stimuli that have already been associated with the attack may become the focus of an arising phobia.
The sudden and unexpected onsets of a panic serves as the primary distinction between a panic attack and other anxiety disorders. These onsets can disable the individual, even without any provoking cause. An anxiety disorder is often manifested by episodes of panic. A panic disorder is also indicated by signs of extreme anxiety and avoidance levels. Effective and appropriate treatment is necessary to alleviate the serious consequences and effects of attacks on the individual. These attacks threaten approximately 1.7% of adult Americans. Individuals with ages 15 to 19 years old are more prone to experiencing panic.
Although an attack only lasts for minutes, the distress that it can cause an individual cannot be ignored. The fear of a potential recurrence of it can be attributed to its close resemblance to heart attacks, which are considered fatal. Even while a person is sleeping, he or she is still not immune or safe from panic. Though less common than daytime panic, nocturnal panic attacks also threaten 40% to 70% of those individuals who have had daytime attacks. When a person experiences an attack while sleeping, he or she awakens quickly and exhibits the usual manifestations. These nocturnal panics can occur without any apparent cause. The time a person needs to stay calm after the attack is often much longer than the actual duration of the attack itself.
The symptoms of panic attacks may affect each individual in a different intensity or level. However, despite these individual differences, such basic symptoms are still considered common and prevalent.

The cloud, security and hosted apps
Do the 3 go together?
Webcast Today at 8am PST / 11am EST / 4pm GMT our usual host Tim Phillips will be joined by Andrew Buss, service director with Freeform Dynamics, and Eran Feigenbaum, director of security for Google Apps, to discuss the security and privacy issues surrounding hosted apps.
Whatever your plans for the desktop, whether you're upgrading to Windows 7, supporting the Mac or iPad, or virtualizing the whole lot, an interesting question is what to do about those office applications.
You could take the evolutionary approach and upgrade the old suites, or you could look to move some or all of it into the cloud. You lose a bunch of complexity on the physical desktop, and collaborative activity, i.e. working on stuff together with your colleagues or mates, also becomes a lot more natural.
The panel will be looking at whether SaaS is a safe option for businesses. What happens when the network is not available? Surely they cannot be more secure than your own data center, or can they? How can you be sure service providers are not snooping your email, selling your data to the highest bidder, or divulging all your secrets?
It's a live event and you can pose questions directly to the panel. So if you've been thinking about SaaS solutions for your business and still have some outstanding questions, this could be just the ticket.
You can register here for free.
If you can't make the live event, register now and we'll let you know as soon as the recorded version is available. ®

Back in early October, when I heard that Google was releasing their first hosted relational database, I was overjoyed. Then, I thought-provokingly scratched my Edgar F. Codd worshiping head, as I came to learn that the chosen database management system was none other than MySQL, Sun Microsystem's orphan child. At the outset of my acquiescence, I wondered what year I was in, as I always thought this kind of release would have made the most logical sense around the same time GAE (Google App Engine) was introduced, back in 2008. Then, I thought, isn't Google having a love affair with that Occupy-esque flash in a pan type movement called NoSQL, as demonstrated through that multi-threaded monstrosity, LevelDB? Lastly, I angrily lambasted whoever's in charge of product development over at Google, because didn't you hear the news (I'm looking your way Larry Page) — MySQL (Google's new cloud computing relational database of choice) is now owned by Oracle, a chief competitor.
So Google, why a relational database service now? Have you seen the error in your NoSQL ways, or are you just trying to foster as much community-driven App Engine development as possible, perhaps by recruiting your more traditional database-driven application type programmer? I understand the need to expedite big data with indexless storage (see my "Where are all the cloud-based Hadoop services?" post), even though I'm a habitual stickler for the relational model, and the dependability that could be seen from its use. On the other hand, with the perpetual limbo that MySQL is in, considering the idea that Oracle has recently taken title, Google might as well have stuck with its relational-less strategy.
I hope Google understands that its users can certainly empathize with the relational database aspect to Google's App Engine Cloud SQL add-on. However, couldn't Google have just gone out and purchased a product like PostgreSQL, or adopted and furthered use of something genuinely open source, like Apache Derby? I'm sure developers are just waiting to pounce upon a comprehensive PaaS solution from Google and the dynamism seen with a relational database backend for application development, but nobody wants to see a Google/Oracle partnership. Consequently, Google is making this difficult by presenting its developer community with this ineffectual contrivance, hampered by Oracle's shadowy agenda with the product. In closing, MySQL as Google's incongruously elected relational database is a serious misjudgment in sustainability, and I regret to decline.
If you're pondering use of Google Cloud SQL for a project, first consider:
- The service is free of charge, at the moment, but will almost certainly carry a price in 2012.
- Supports JDBC for Java and (DB-API) Python only.
- Accessible through Google App Engine, alone.

NEW HAVEN — A horse named J.Lo — and the two New Haven sisters who ride her — have been causing quite a stir on both the local and national horse show scene as of late.
The horse and her riders, Hailey and Brooke, daughters of Kelley and Scott Perlee of New Haven, took home the gold in six different classes at the 2010 Grand National and World Championship Morgan Horse Show, held in Oklahoma City in October. Horses in these competitions are judged primarily on appearance and gait.

File this under 'late-night LaTeX griping':
Is there any way of stripping metadata from a PDF file ? I'm writing a referee report for a journal, and used PDFLaTeX to create the report. When I scan it in acroread, there's all kinds of meta data that could identify me.
Now pdftk is a useful package that can strip out some of the simple metadata like 'creator'. However, pdftex adds "Advanced" fields, and one of them is the full pathname of the original LaTeX file. If your filesystem (UNIX) is anything like mine, then a part of that pathname is the /<username>/ section, which in many instances is an almost unique identifier. This also happens with dvipdfm, which uses the gs backend to create the PDF file, and with ps2pdf. pdftk cannot strip out these fields, because it doesn't appear to see them.
I suspect that if I owned a copy of the very-not-free Acrobat, I could meddle around with this metadata. Obviously I could submit the review as a Postscript file, but in general I prefer to maintain PDF. Further this problem also occurs if I want to do due diligence when submitting to conferences with double blind review, and sometimes I don't have the option to use PS.

Miller football coach Marcus Soward announced his resignation on Friday night after the Rebels finished a 1-9 season. He had told the administration on Monday.
"I had no guarantee of a teaching job next year," Soward said. "I have a 5-year-old son and I had to do what was best."
Soward said he didn't know if the poor season was a reason he was not guaranteed a teaching job for next year. He was 6-14 in two seasons at Miller after arriving from Arroyo Valley. Continue reading "Marcus Soward resigns at Miller" »

NTUC President should have held tongue
I write to you as your union member.
You disclosed recently that you invited one of the presidential candidates to speak to fellow union members. The NTUC has always supported values of fair treatment and equal opportunities. It is therefore unfortunate that it has not invited others in similar situations to do the same.
I must also protest your expression of personal views on your preferred presidential candidate. It has never been in the tradition of trade union leadership in Singapore to have one's personal political views expressed in the face of a high likelihood of the NTUC making known its preference.
It is for this reason union leaders must be publicly supportive of the People's Action Party, even though personally they may hold a different view. Anyone who has dared express such a divergent personal view publicly has been swiftly removed from his position as a union leader.
In expressing your personal views, you may have prejudiced the process by which the NTUC
goes about deciding its preferred presidential candidate. In the interest of good governance, you may wish to now detach yourself from such a process.
You have also disturbed that fragile balance that exists between the public and private views of a union leader. You may have set the wrong precedent for union leaders to follow. It is not surprising that other union members have started to follow your example, and are expressing their own personal views on this issue.
Your exemplary act thus frees me to register my disagreement with your choice of presidential candidate. If your criteria is that you "want a person who has got that kind of stature and that kind of exposure, who understands the fundamental role of the President", there are many others within the NTUC, including yourself, who can meet your criteria.
With respect, a unionist does not need to support a person, who cut his links with the NTUC more than a decade ago.

We Singaporeans are the ones to decide & choose our president. We do not need any social or political institutions 2 endorse any candidate & tells us that person is "good & suitable". It never add value or credit to the candidate through your endorsement, but only reflects that the institution is biased & partial, & also reflect an overly close relationship e.g. btw candidate & ruling govt, which will definitely make mr sit up, bcos i want 2 vote 4 a President that is truly independent & not strike "secret" deals that could compromise Singsporeans' interests. These kinds of relationships that are controversial & conflict in interest should b put 2 a stop. NTUC, u r serving the People, not a political party!!

Does a person have to resign from his political party membership before becoming NTUC President?

Big chill: Lakeland farm experiments with chemical to protect crop from freeze damage | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
LAKELAND, Florida -- Farmers across the Bay area are watching the thermometer tumble, keeping a close eye on their crops on Saturday night.
The freezing and near freezing temperatures can kill their hard work and profits in one night, so many have spent the last day working to protect them.
"We've got a very large set of fruit already in the bushes, and there's a potential that this may not last the night," said Retta Baucom.
The manager at Shady Oaks Fruit Farm in Lakeland covered her strawberries under plastic sheeting, and will venture out every thirty minutes all night to water her crop. But a batch of blueberries will not need any water all night during the freeze because of an experiment Baucom is taking part in with the University of Florida.
They've sprayed a block of her blueberries with a chemical that is supposed to protect them from the freeze.
"You coat it completely, and then you let it dry about an hour before the freeze, and it protects it. You don't have to put the water on it," Baucom said.
Researchers arrived at her property yesterday to spray the chemical on her blueberries, which will stay in place until the cold weather moves out.
"There's no residue left on the plant, because once you start your regular irrigation the chemical washes off."
The next step will come on Monday when she will turn her sprinklers on to wash the horticultural chemical away. Researchers will then test the fruit for damage.
"If we lose our crop, then we shut the farm down. I mean, that's my livelihood, and we want to do anything and everything we can to protect the berries."
If all goes as planned and the blueberries survive, they should be ready for harvesting sometime in April.

Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
Well I know that anyting over 150 euro has additional taxes. I have never had this amount exceeded in gift packages.
But my dad just sent DS a box full of winter clothes and the value was over 300 USD
I have no clue what to expect with customs.
I have read at over 150 euro I am taxed on shipping another 80 or so, plus no tax free expemtion of 45 euro so 17.5% vat on total value plus shipping. Is that right?
But then comes the additional customs charges. I see textile clothing for 12%. No mention of baby items anywhere online. Anyone know what tax percantage it is? What about like baby toys I see no category it would fall under.
I am really worried it will be like a 100 euro customs bill Not that I am not greatful, but over 30% tax is a bit much to swallow.

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
I don't have any advise- that just really stinks. I hope someone can chime in with the % I wonder if Germany counts new and used clothes under different tiers. I remember reading about a mama somewhere who didn't get taxed on used baby clothes and used cloth diapers when "used" was stated on the customs forms

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
What did he write on the actual forms?
Zollamt has stopped many of our boxes - and have let many others through. There seems to be no rhyme or reason.
If they do stop you, you could always explain that they are gifts ... theoretically you could be charged but I have found our local office to be understanding.
Oh, and used diapers always gets a funny look on their face

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
He wrote gifts. The one time I had used diapers they let all the new items in tax free haha.
But the best was the time I explained breast pump O_O

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
Ugh that stinks. The Zollamt randomly lets boxes pass and some they hold back. Last year I sent my dad a kite, he wanted a space shuttle kite for my nephews. The darn ding cost me $20. Shipping was $38. I sent it since I couldn't take it with me on the plane. I said gift, $20 worth, and sent it on its way. It was held back by the Zollamt. As it so happened, my parents got the note the day I arrived, so I went along. The guy there was so unpleasant. I said I sent it, so he assumed I bought it while on vacation and sent it over. Then apparently taxes apply (wtf, sorry). He said you have to proof to me it is worth less than 30 euros or taxes apply, and without receipt I have to hold this package unless you can prove me how much it is worth. Luckily I bought it online so he let me use his computer to show him the website. The kite had risen to $28 and he said now he has to charge taxes (makes no sense) because this is not a gift as I do not live in the US (huh? really obscure tactics here). I then said uh no I do live in the US, here's my passport, see, issued in San Francisco. He then gritted his teeth and FINALLY gave us our kite. It is a HUGE pain.
I just kicked my behind as I sent my sister my maternity clothes, some are hers I'm returning since she's due in June. I totally wasn't thinking, put other instead of gift and wrote "borrowed clothing" and $50. Sheesh I shoulda put $20 or less. I hope it won't be stuck. I didn't add a note, but this time as sender address hyphenated my last name with my maiden name so it matches my parent's name (I sent it there since my sis lives in China and will be visiting over xmas). I'm praying they won't make trouble. I already have planned to send my parents a letter of explanation, signed and notarized, with a copy of my passport and utility bill proving where I live that I am returning clothes to their rightful owner so they won't freaking charge VAT on those.

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
In the end the tax was 46 euro They did not tax shipping nor add any additional customs fees. And the 45 euro was tax free.
Borrowed clothing should not be an issue. I never pay tax on used items. My dad over declares he once put 50 dollars for socks. Yeah I know. I do not try to understand.
But my mom she hits up garage sales and kohls clearence, low balls he used value to like 25 cents per items and values a huge box at 80 bucks or so never taxes.
Only once I was called in to open, I opned it up and used cloth diapers were on top. They sent me home and did not even charge taxes on the other box from my dad I was picking up with new gifts, buhahaha.
Now if only you could have seen the dude face when I tried to explain milk pump one time.
The zoll here are nice. But we are moving and I really hope the new zoll office is not bad.
I also hope my dad learns to start lowballing instead of hig rolling it because with DH in the prebezeit it will be me over and hour on a train trying to carry a baby and box home. Not what I want to do at ALL.

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
I'm glad you have a good experience overall! It really depends on the individual, much like with TSA at the airport... Our county's Zollamt is small and the guy is just a typical deutscher Beamter (I bet your husband can say a lot about those kinda people)... He's bored and every once in a while someone gets a package from ABROAD! That's sorta the impression I had with him...
I agree about lowballing, it's the only way. Technically Zoll can stop you at the airport too and there is a limit of how much stuff you can bring over, but it has never ever happened to us... But as a precaution my parents wash all the clothes they buy for my nephews here at my house, no tags, washed, so one can say it's used clothing...
My last package is still ... I mean arrrgh why did I write $50? Nursing brain. I hope it will be fine. Shipping was a whopping $67 (I think I was in shock and hence wrote $50)....
I'll fly again to Germany next summer or September, let me know if I can take something along for you, I can ship it cheaply from within Germany

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
The zoll here are hit and miss some are better then others.
In the last city we lived the guy was a beast. My mom sent a carton of ciggerettes for DH. We thought it was ok since on a plane you can bring a carton, but per post the limit is 50.
Long story short he made us sit and hour and a half. We paid a 70 euro fine. Then as we walked out the door he yelled I hope those tatse good. WTF dude.
I asked if I could just leave them and he said no I could only pay return shipping on the whole box or pay 70 euro straf. Return shipping was the same...

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to say thanks for the info. I've been really worried about this too. I've been getting cloth diapers in the States and I'm having my mom send them in packages less than $150 (which is usually less than 5 lbs and can be sent USPS for about $20). She's sent one package thus far. I'm paranoid, so I had her remove all of the tags/packaging, not include any receipts, and write a "gift note" to me making it clear she was giving these to me as a gift. Thus far this has worked with the one package. I have two more to try. We'll see.

Re: Mamas in Germany, importing baby items and the zoll, help :)
Just FYI you want reciepts on anything with value even if a fit. You dont want reciepts with your name though then its taxed differently.
My mom is a customs jedi. She does a mix of new and used. She always values right around 100 dollars and I never get Taxed.
German law says even if there is a tax but its less then 10 euro it cannot be charged, so while only 45 euro is tax free on gifts it will still be tax free so long as the taxation amount figured is under 10 euro. It takes some math skills if curious I can write out my forumla it of course varies per the euro fluctuation daily so I leave a buffer.
Customs is always super nice, when ever I get anything name brand or of value we include reciepts, but on her packages they have never questioned it.
My dad on the other hand overdeclares likeputting 50 as a value on used items. I always get taxed on his packages. I have tried to explain customs does not care about my used items from my storage shed there is no value, but he isworried that he will get in trouble I guess. I asked customs myself about used items they said write value 0 used sending to owner, my mom does this and never ever had an issue.
I have a few times opened my boxes they looked it saw it was used items or a mix with gifts not of high value and just say ok, no meds right, I say nope and off my merry way.
But customs can mess up always check. Just yesterday I was charged 35 euro on a package that should have been 13 euro tax. The guy added the insured value onto the package value doubling my package value and tripling my tax. Now we had to pay and go in and appeal which should be easy enough since you can see clear as day where the mistake was made, I think I got a apprentice.
On gifts it should always be:
* No tax on shipping
* Up to 45 euro is tax free, but this does not apply to single items, make sure if you send a heafty gift you include at least 2 items, small tip there :P
* I thought 150 euro was the cut off, where they add additional customs taxation but so far this has never happened to me even packages valued over 200 euro
* The tax varies baised on the item but I have always been charged 17.5%
* under 10.00 never billed
* Gifts sent diect to you from a company are treated as a purchase. Only use eu companies. So if daddy orders a ipad from amazon US and it ships direct to you even though it is a gift there is no waiver its taxed liek below. However same ipad on amazon.de where vat tax is paid does not incur the additional taxation and since shipping is taxed its much cheaper
Convert USD value to euros - 45 euro tax free equals taxable amount times .175 is your tax
When you buy things outside the eu
*Anything over 22 euro is taxed
* 22 euro icludes shipping and shipping is taxed
* If you exceed 22 euro you get no waiver the full value plus shipping is taxed
* taxation varies baised on item I personally plan with 19%
*over 150 does incur additional importation fees
* If an invoice is not supplied on the outside of the package you will need to supply proof of what you paid
purchase price plus shipping covert to euro times .19 is your tax

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's volleyball match, Wellesley College emerged with a hard-fought 25-20, 25-13, 22-25, 21-25, 15-5 victory over MIT on Tuesday night. The loss lowered the Engineers ledger to 26-5 on the year and 6-2 in conference play while the Blue improved to 26-4 overall and 8-0 in the NEWMAC.
Wellesley built a 12-8 lead in the first set which caused MIT to call a timeout. Following the break, the Engineers mounted a 9-1 run to go in front, 17-13. The Blue responded with a 10-2 run of its own to close out the set. Senior Isabel Custodio (Powell, Ohio) recorded a kill and then collaborated with sophomore Caitlin Laughlin (St. Louis Park, Minn.) on a block for set point. Laughlin then followed with a kill of her own to give the visitors the win.
The Blue established a 6-1 advantage which then grew to 19-10 in the second stanza. MIT capitalized on a pair of errors and an ace from senior Trinity Leonard (Mill Valley, Calif.) to narrow the gap, however, Wellesley rattled off six unanswered points after its own timeout to finish off the frame. Junior Kira Jordan (Franklin Lakes, N.J.) posted a pair of kills in the spurt while classmate Hilary Ayers (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) earned back-to-back aces.
In the third set, the Engineers quickly generated a 15-5 advantage. Despite the deficit, Wellesley continued to attack and came within three points on five occasions, the last at 23-20. A strike by junior Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) resulted in set point for MIT but a miscue coupled with a kill from sophomore Sydney Carfagno (Los Angeles, Calif.) kept the Blue alive. The Cardinal and Gray replied with a blast from freshman Ada Taylor (Durham, N.C.) to extend the match.
With the fourth set knotted at eight, MIT used a 7-2 run to create a small cushion. The Blue responded by recording eight of the next nine points to go in front, 18-16. The Engineers converted a kill and ace from junior Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) along with two Wellesley miscues to reclaim the lead for good. A serving error cut the Blue's deficit in half, but MIT picked up five of the next seven points to force the decisive fifth set. Taylor tallied three kills and a block with senior Alyssa Rothman (Plainview, N.Y.) in the late rally.
After exchanging points to start the final frame, Wellesley generated nine straight points which resulted in a 10-2 advantage. Following the Engineers' last timeout of the night, they capitalized on a serving error and a Leonard kill, but they would get no closer as the Blue finished out the match with a 5-1 spurt.
