Backed by Parra, Corbin impresses again in win
PHOENIX -- A year ago, Wade Miley surprised most everyone when he won the final spot on the D-backs' Opening Day roster and went on to have an All-Star caliber season with 16 wins.
This year, Patrick Corbin turned some heads as well when he beat out top prospects Tyler Skaggs and Randall Delgado for the fifth spot in the club's rotation out of Spring Training.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- A year ago, Wade Miley surprised most everyone when he won the final spot on the D-backs' Opening Day roster and went on to have an All-Star caliber season with 16 wins.
This year, Patrick Corbin turned some heads as well when he beat out top prospects Tyler Skaggs and Randall Delgado for the fifth spot in the club's rotation out of Spring Training.View Full Game Coverage
Through the first month of the 2013 season, Corbin's numbers look a whole lot like what Miley did in 2012, with both pitchers collecting three wins in April and carrying a sub-2.00 ERA into May.
When asked if Corbin could be this season's equivalent to Miley, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson responded: "I hope he wins more games than Miley did last year."
Well, so far so good.
Turning in his fifth consecutive quality start of the year by allowing just two runs over 6 2/3 innings of work, Corbin paced the D-backs to a 4-2 victory over the Rockies on Sunday at Chase Field in front of 24,852 fans.
"He just competes," Gibson said of Corbin. "He understands the tools he possesses and he has utilized them."
The victory, the club's fifth in its last six games and eighth consecutive in series finales, moved Arizona into a tie for first-place in the National League West with the Rockies.
Earning his third win of 2013, Corbin struck out five batters and didn't issue a walk for the first time this season. In each of his five outings to date, the left-hander has pitched at least six innings and hasn't given up more than two runs.
Despite the success on the mound Sunday, Corbin didn't think he had his best stuff, but he managed to record outs anyway.
"I think I made the best of it," he said. "I wasn't as sharp as I have been, so I just wanted to keep us in the game. I think today I left some pitches up. I was just able to keep us in it."
Helping Corbin both offensively and defensively was Gerardo Parra, who scored two runs and collected two hits in extending his career-best hitting streak to 13 games, while making a couple of heads-up plays on the bases and in the outfield with his glove. Although Gibson described Parra's game as, "dominating," Parra didn't want to take too much credit.
"The team was dominating, not me," he said. "We play for the team. I don't play for myself."
Formerly relegated to the fourth outfielder role, Parra has been a force at the top of the D-backs' lineup this season, batting .320 with nine doubles and five RBIs.
"I'm very happy, just playing hard every day no matter what happens," Parra said. "I don't think nothing of last year. I just want to play for today."
Early on Sunday, Corbin escaped trouble in the first inning, allowing three hits, but got out of the frame unscathed when Jason Kubel gunned Troy Tulowitzki out at home plate to end the inning. Tulo was injured on the play, leaving in the third with what was later diagnosed as a left rotator cuff strain.
Kubel, appearing in his first game since coming off the disabled list, led the National League in outfield assists last season with 13.
"He just came in, and that's one of the things he does well," Gibson said. "He has a very accurate arm. It's a hard play to make."
After the D-backs failed to drive home the game's first run when they put a runner on third with one out in the second, a passed ball followed by a wild pitch from Rockies starter Jon Garland with two outs in the third put Arizona ahead, 2-0.
Parra scored the second of those runs on a ball that bounced in the dirt, but only rolled a few feet away from the plate. The 25-year-old made the play happen by taking a huge lead and taking off as soon as the pitch got away.
"He made a good read on that play. They were playing way off the bag, and he got down the line and went immediately," Gibson said. "You try to be aggressive without making outs. We're aware of what guys throw in certain counts and when to be alert to balls in the dirt."
The D-backs tacked on two more runs thanks to RBI hits from Josh Wilson and Cody Ross before the Rockies finally broke through off Corbin in the sixth to cut the lead in half, 4-2.
Corbin left the game in the seventh when the Rockies put two on with two outs, but Matt Reynolds came in and induced Eric Young Jr. into a pop up to end the inning without any damage.
Reynolds, who the D-backs acquired in the offseason from Colorado, has now tossed 12 2/3 scoreless innings over 12 outings to start the season.
Heath Bell and J.J. Putz finished off the Rockies in the final two frames. As a unit, the D-backs bullpen surrendered just two runs over 15 innings in four games against Colorado, following a rough nine-game road trip in which it coughed up five leads.

A Simple Gift for Non-Crafty Family Historians
I'm not much of a crafty person. I'm all thumbs when it comes to glue and glitter. So I came up with a non-crafty project to do with my Flip Pal. Scanning and photo editing are right up my alley so I decided to create a custom deck of cards. I thought this would be a nice quick project but it turned out to be more work than expected. However, in the end I think the time put in was worth it.
1. Gather together all the photos you want to use for your project
2. Scan the photos using the Flip Pal scanner and then transfer them to your computer
3. Scour the web for a custom playing cards vendor
I spent a lot of time searching the web to find a vendor. I settled on Printer's Studio because they had cards for as low as US $7.99 for a single deck and because their drag and drop interface looked the easiest to use. I saw other vendors selling decks for $20 and even $50! Printer's Studio has a bunch of different deck options but I chose the basic Image & Text Standard Index.
4. Choose how many photos you want to use
You can customize the deck with 54 unique photos or you can choose 13 images (the same image for each number) or 4 images (the same for each suit) or just one image for all the cards. It seemed to me that 54 cards turns it into a bit of a memory game where card counters have the advantage. I thought 13 would be better but they don't offer the option to randomize the photos so all the Aces, regardless of suit, have the same photo. Therefore making it even easier for the cards sharks. Oh, well, it's all to preserve family history, right?!
5. Upload the photos
Next I had to upload the photos. I chose (really before I thought about it) to add text directly to my photos. Originally I was just going to add photos. Then I thought of all the orphan photos out there and decided I shouldn't make my ancestors future orphans so I put their names on all the photos. There is actually no need to put the text on the photos because Printer's Studio gives you that option in the next step but I guess I'm a control freak when it comes to images so I added the text right onto my images using Adobe Photoshop.
Note: if you want to stop and work on the project later or purchase the project at a later date, create an account save your project in "My Library." Printer's Source doesn't ask you if you want to save the project when you are checking out.
6. Place your photos in the order of your choice
I only used photos from 6 or 7 different people so I gave some consideration to placement. I didn't want to have three photos of the same person one after the other. After uploading all I had to do was drag and drop to get them into the right position.
7. Add Text
After you upload all your photos and press continue you'll be given the chance to add text. Because I had added the text directly to my photos I skipped this step.
8. Review Your Cards
Next Printer's Studio will show you what your photos will look like when they are on the cards. This is where I discovered that each number would have the same photo. A better system would be to randomize the photos on the numbers but I couldn't see that being offered.
9) Check out and Pay
The cost was US $7.99 plus $5.99 for shipping. I thought that was fairly reasonable. I ordered one deck. If I like the way they come out I will order more and give them to family members for Christmas. There were two options for payment 1) credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or 2) Pay Pal where you could pay with Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
Project Time: This project took me a total of about 3 hours between scanning, adding text and uploading. I admit I am a bit fussy with the photos so others might be able to do it quicker.
This was a fun family history project that involved no glitter. I am really looking forward to getting the cards back to see how the turn out. I'll give you an update when they arrive.

What a great idea - I'm also all thumbs when it comes to crafts. Interestingly two of my adult kids are very very crafty! This looks very do-able, and I have many photos suitable on my computer for this project. Do let us know how they look when you get them back!ReplyDelete
I love this idea, however, all the same numbers on each photo? I was all over this until I read that part. My family would laugh me out of the room, they are card sharks. My grandmother was a big card player, taught all us grandchildren some French card games. I would love to do this in her honour. Hmm, need to think on this. Thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
What a neat idea. I'm so glad you and the others are creating new ways to use the scanner. Finally, I ordered mine on Friday, so thanks for the post with detailed instructions.ReplyDelete
very fun! great project :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the idea Marian. I love it. Like you and others would really like to be able to mix the pictures and the numbers but it would still be a fun gift!! You've got me thinking.ReplyDelete
Marian thanks for the new sources for making cards! Been looking at doing this for awhile, but haven't decided if I want to have cards that also have facts on it and play it like Authors card game or Go Fish. Nice job!ReplyDelete
This is so great! Did you get an estimated return time? I just love this series. Geneabloggers are planning my Christmas list! ;)ReplyDelete
Marian, I hope you'll tell us about the cards when they arrive. I'm not even thinking about using them for playing cards. I'm thinking about putting them in little frames to hang on the Christmas tree, or to turn into magnets for the refrigerator -- or my house or my siblings' homes.ReplyDelete
I suppose lots of us geneabloggers will be ordering cards from Printer's Studio. I think you should ask them if they'll give you a commission -- or at least give you several decks of cards for free -- because of all the business you're sending their way.
Thanks for sharing this idea. I love it!
Great idea Nancy, I think these will be a hot item at my next family reunion!ReplyDelete
Yes, I think the Printer's Studio definitely owes you a cut on all the new business you just drummed up!ReplyDelete
Thanks for this great idea. I was also thinking that you could create a generic deck of cards by using images or parts of images of research tools we use in genealogy, e.g., blank census forms, logs, pedigree charts, etc. Might be a great educational tool or gift.ReplyDelete
What a great idea!! I might look into this for a Family Reunion Gift prize!!!ReplyDelete
- Christine BardNovember 29, 2011 at 8:00 PM
Thanks for the full details on ordering the cards. I just placed my order for the Flip Pal. The Flip Pal site has a Black Friday discount until 12/1. My birthday is next week so this is my present to myself.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing a fun gift idea.ReplyDelete
The non-crafty among us thank you! This looks so cool! I'm over there playing around right now - so many option.ReplyDelete
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love this!!!! It's just the "extra little something" I need for the nieces and nephews for Christmas. Now while they are playing poker, they can be learning some family history.ReplyDelete

For Heaven's sake, be ye kind, one to another
I had what some might term a very uncomfortable experience last Thursday at our local Galveston Island Walmart. My husband, Ted, is quite the shopper, and he always stays in the stores longer than I want to be there, so I usually take a book along with me and read while I wait for him. There is usually at least two or three benches near the doorways of the bigger stores and I don't mind at all sitting, reading or chatting with a new friend I've met that is waiting on someone, too.
The island was crowded with vacationers and many families were tugging the hands of small children as they rounded up beach towels, sunscreen, water toys and food items. Some of the kids were tired from playing on the beach and in the surf and their little sunburned faces showed that the night would night be much better for them. I thought in my own mind, "Man, it takes a lot of work to have fun on a family vacation."
Realizing I had not checked my cell phone messages in a couple of hours, I got my new phone out and was reading e-mail and Facebook postings when I felt, rather than saw, someone sit down next to me on the mesh wire bench. I did not look directly at the person at the moment, but continued checking my messages. I again sensed that the person was looking directly at me and perhaps at my phone, so I looked over and smiled. Thank God for years of professional training and for the many hospital visits I have made over the years in connection with serving on a church staff.
I looked into the face, or what I could see of it, of a child between 11 and 12 years old, but I mostly saw a weird facial bandage. I could see his little eyes looking out and as I allowed my gaze to move downward, I saw immediately that both arms, his hands and even his legs were encased in something that looked like hard plastic or a heavy knit stocking type bandage. Looking anywhere that skin was showing, one knew immediately that this child had suffered a horrible burn over most of his young body. The flesh that was exposed was red and bunched up looking, and just seeing this child was painful.
I mustered my inner strength and rather than looking away, I smiled and waved a bit toward my new friend. As best he could, he tried to smile back at me. I noticed that the child was still sneaking looks at my phone in my hand, and so I pushed it over closer to him and said, "Would you like for me to show some things it can do?" He made some motions that let me know he could not speak or that he could not speak English. I smiled again and said, "Oh, OK, I will just show you anyway," and I proceeded as best I could under the circumstances to show him various photos on the phone and a game or two. He was enthralled. Again, he tried to smile, but it actually looked more like a grimace.
By this time, I noticed an older and a younger women in one of the register lines and they were staring directly at me. I smiled back at them and tried to indicate that he was fine and that I was a nice person and not bothered at all by their child. I also thought that this family must be in Galveston to be treated at UTMB where they have a huge burn unit.
What troubled me most about this encounter was not the young man and his family, but by the sheer rudeness of the other people in the busy store. And sadly to report, it was not the children that were so mean and rude to the child. It was the adults who came by openly staring, and one even had so little home training that he pointed to the child and jabbered something to his female friend. I wanted to put my arms around this hurting child and shield him from their ignorance and absolute ill manners.
We looked at the phone for a little while longer and the two women came toward us with their buggy of what appeared to be essential food items. I noticed several loaves of bread, some fruit, cereal and a few canned goods. What I had not seen were two more children, both younger, and both more horribly disfigured that this brave young man I had met. The two children, both boys, appeared to be about five and three and both had very little skin exposed from heavy bandages. My heart was breaking and I smiled at both the mother and grandmother, but fearing I would burst into tears.
Not wanting to embarrass them further, I simply kept smiling and nodding. As the young man who had been sitting next to me got up to leave, I felt compelled to say or do something, but no bright ideas dawned in my mind. I could not apparently speak his language and I could not touch him for fear of hurting him. So, I simply resorted to grandmother things. I blew him the biggest kiss I could muster up at the moment and smiled even more. He seemed startled at first and then as best he could, he lifted one of those terribly bandaged arms up and though his fingers never touched his lips, he returned my blown kiss to me.
The family left and I sat and cried for them. Alone in a strange land, trying to feed three hurting children, and obviously having to deal with the stares and taunts of ignorant people around them, I could not imagine what they had endured. Thank God for the Shriner's Hospitals and UTMB that provide helpful and healing services for these families. If you are on Galveston Island, stop in and visit the patients being treated and you will get a sense of just how grateful you should be for your health and for that of your family.
And, for Heaven's sake, folks, teach your children that all people are human and all people need unconditional love, no matter how marred they might be or what may be wrong with them physically. Say hello in a normal tone of voice and offer a smile, and pass this information on to the pitifully trained grown people who do not know how to behave very well, either. Showing God's love and human kindness to others should be a part of our normal actions.

On 31 August 2010, a joint initiative was launched for conserving coral reefs around Koh Tao, Suratthani Thailand.
The Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production, Ltd and IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature signed a Letter of Agreement at the Chevron office in SCB Park, Bangkok, to launch this initiative. Mr Pairoj Kaweeyanun, President signed on behalf of Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production, Ltd., while Ms Aban Marker Kabraji, Asia Regional Director, signed on behalf of IUCN. Mr. Adisak Thongkaimook, the Director General of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) of Thailand graced the occasion.
Covering an area of about 21 Km2, Koh Tao Island is located about 70 km east of the coastline between Suratthani and Chumphon, in the Gulf of Thailand. The island is one of 10 top-diving destinations of the world visited by 400,000 people annually. It has been recognized that the island's ecosystem, including coral reefs which are spread over the area of approximately 1,199.38 rai, is facing serious threats due to unsustainable waste management practices.
This one-year partnership initiative will be the start of improving integrated waste management practices for conserving the island's ecosystems and promoting participatory approaches to deal with such issues.
IUCN through the Mangroves for the Future (MFF) programme has been building on a history of coastal management interventions, especially heading the call to continue the momentum and partnerships generated by the immediate post-tsunami response. MFF uses mangroves as a flagship species in recognition of the destruction caused to coastal ecosystems by the tsunami, and addresses issues related to all coastal ecosystems, including coral reefs, estuaries, lagoons, sandy beaches, sea grasses and wetlands.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr Pairoj Kaweeyanun, the President of Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production, Ltd., stated that the company was committed to achieving their vision of being the best performing oil and gas company, recognized for leading safety and reliability performance as a socially and environmentally responsible company. He further said that Chevron has been continuously supporting a number of CSR programmes in partnership with governments, non governmental organizations and local people under their 4E strategy: Education and youth development, Environmental awareness, Energy conservation and Employee engagement. He added that Chevron's contribution to this project reaffirms its critical role as the environmental steward of the Gulf of Thailand.
Ms Aban Marker Kabraji, the Regional Director of IUCN Asia, appreciated Chevron's commitment towards sustainable development and emphasized that the project would serve to mobilize the partnership between the two organizations to collaborate in mainstreaming conservation and social considerations into business not only in Thailand, but also in other countries where Chevron is present. She said that the role of IUCN's Business and Biodiversity programme was to influence the private sector in realizing their responsibility towards environment, ecosystem values and sustainable development.
Mr. Adisak Thongkaimook, the Director General of Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) said that the DMCR would like to see this collaboration grow into a longer term relationship. He also emphasized the importance of the project which aims at taking action for integrated coastal zone management. He hoped that the project will be seen as a model for show casing best practices not only in Thailand, but also in other countries.
For more details about the project, please contact:

I'm sure as most of you know I've always liked a nice price sticker on my MOCs and boxes, primarily focusing on the range of items sold by US based retailer KayBee.
Well after finding a few interesting UK price stickers I thought it was high time I showed our little island some love.
I'm hoping to get pictures of as many different UK stickers as possible and tie this in with some research on the shops, where were they, are they still there, what are they now etc
I'd like to keep this thread pretty well organised so would really appreciate it if you didn't post in it. If you have a photo you'd like me to use and research or have memories to share about your local retailers back in the day please add them to this thread..... viewtopic.php?f=16&t=34071

Safety Tips for Seniors
Posted on Jun 23, 2016 by TECC Security Systems
Statistics show that the older you get, the less likely you are to be a victim of crime. But it still makes sense to take precautions, especially against fraud and con games, which are the greatest crime threats for seniors.
Safety Begins at Home
- Install and use good locks on doors and windows.
- Don't hide keys under the doormat, in the mailbox or in a planter. Leave an extra set with a neighbor.
- When service or delivery people come to your door, ask for ID, and check with their company if you're still not sure.
- Make sure the street number on your house is large, well-lighted and unobstructed so emergency personnel can find your home quickly.
- If you decide to install an alarm system, consider one that is monitored for burglary, fire and medical emergencies.
Stay Safe When You Go Out
- Go out with family or friends rather than by yourself.
- Hold your purse close or keep your wallet in an inside front pocket.
- Don't carry large amounts of cash or unneeded credit cards.
- Use a direct deposit service for Social Security and other regular checks.
- Keep car doors locked, be watchful in parking lots and garages, and try to park in well-lighted spots near entrances.
- Sit near the driver or the exit when riding on a bus, train or subway.
- If a person or situation makes you nervous, get away.
Don't Fall for Con Artists' Tricks
- If it sounds too good to be true — free vacation, miracle cure, sure-fire investment — avoid it.
- It is illegal for telemarketers to ask for credit card, Social Security, phone card or bank account numbers to verify prizes, so if anyone asks, don't give it to them.
- If someone tries to rush you into signing an insurance policy, sales contract or anything else, be suspicious. Read it carefully and have a trusted friend check it, too.
- Some con artists pose as representatives of companies or government agencies that, for a fee, recover money lost to fraudulent telemarketers. Don't fall for this trick.
- When in doubt, check it out by calling the police, the Better Business Bureau, the local consumer protection office, or the National Consumers League Fraud Information Center at 800-876-7060.
Things You Can Do in Your Community
- Report any crimes or suspicious activities to police.
- Join a Neighborhood Watch program to help protect your community.
- Get involved in activities that can make your community a better place, like mentoring children, serving as a volunteer aide for the police or fire department, or escorting disabled persons.
- Check for a Triad program in your community. It partners seniors with law enforcement agencies to prevent crime against the elderly and to give support to law enforcement personnel. It is sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs Association (NSA). Get details from your AARP chapter, local police or by calling NSA at 703-836-7827.

I probably place the least emphasis on rookies. How many rookie-eligible players make a long-term impact on a team? Very few. I find that they lose rookie-eligibility at a stage in their career that doesn't justify displacing a regular keeper for them -- at least for a perennial contender like me. . Indeed, I can only think of 2 rookies I have on my team (Atkinson and Granlund).
Edit: Apparently, Killorn is a rookie and he has been on my roster.

Over 30 representatives from China's governmental departments, research institutions, and NGOs attended the Workshop on Forest Landscape Restoration and Metropolitan Water Source Protection Partnerships on 3 September, in Beijing.
The workshop was organized by Beijing Forestry Society and co-organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) China Office. Discussed was how Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) can be used to protect watersheds supplying China's biggest cities with drinking water.
Water supply is critical to the socioeconomic development of the cities in China and the well-being of their citizens. Yet many of Chinese cities are faced with water shortages. The water challenges are caused by both increased water demand for economic development, urbanization and population growth, and the undermining water supply due to deterioration and degradation of ecosystems and forest landscapes.
The rapid urbanization and city development call for greater efforts to protect water sources and catchments of major Chinese cities and metropolitans. The workshop's intention was, through technical presentations and group discussions, to explore the forest landscape restoration, water source protection and partnership building that are instrumental to the water source protection of the cities in China.
Specifically, the workshop performed the following roles:
- Strengthened the dialogue between stakeholders of the Miyun project
- Increased the participants' understanding of FLR and water source protection
- Outlined objectives for the Miyun project over the next three years
- Explored the opportunities for an international cities partnership on watershed protection through landscape restoration
Stewart Maginnis, the IUCN's Global Director of Nature Based Solutions, began the workshop's presentations by discussing case studies, experiences and trends in Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR). What can be learned from water management in the IUCN Water Programme was explained by James Dalton, Coordinator Global Water Initiatives of IUCN. His presentation was followed by presentations from NGO representatives working on forest issues in China.
In the afternoon the participants discussed in groups possible outcomes within the next three years for the Miyun Watershed Forest Landscape Restoration project. It was agreed to develop a Miyun model; to work towards the implementation of the zoning system; and to gather detailed monitoring data of three to five demonstration sites on the ground. In the following plenary discussion the focus was on how to establish a cities partnership on watershed protection through landscape restoration. "Do not concentrate too much on the bureaucracy", Mr. Maginnis pointed out, "It is not the partnership that's important, it is the issue!"
Overall, the delegates to the workshop all agreed that the Miyun Watershed Forest Landscape Restoration Project's success so far gives hope for future endeavors to broaden the approach to other watersheds providing mega cities with water all over China and even abroad. IUCN China, Beijing Forestry Society and Forest Trends will closely work together to build a cities partnership for watershed protection in China.

There are a variety of parking options around the Kingston General site. While the hospital itself only operates a small number of parking spaces, the City of Kingston has a number of on-street and municipal parking lot options to choose from. You can learn more about your parking options by reading the information below. If you require a special parking spot (for cancer, dialysis, and asthma patients) or an accessible parking spot, click here.
General parking options
Main Entrance Parking
There are several small 'Pay and Display' parking lots located outside of our main Kidd-Davies entrance off Stuart Street. In this area there are a total of 19 general parking spaces as well as three accessible spaces and two spaces for asthma patients with permits only. Parking fees in this area are $3.50 per-hour.
To use these spaces:
- Pay for your parking at one of the two 'Pay & Display' machines. Both machines accept coins as well as Visa or MasterCard.
- Take your receipt from the machine and place it face up on your dashboard.
Underground Parking
The Stuart Street Underground parking garage is located off of Stuart Street, directly across from the hospital's main entrance. It is open 24 hours-a-day, seven days-per-week. Once you are in the garage, you can access the hospital either by using the stairs to get back to ground level and crossing the street, or by using the underground pedestrian tunnel that connects the garage and hospital. Each level of the parking garage is identified by colour. Seven accessible parking spaces are located on the red level, near the entrance to the pedestrian tunnel.
There are several payment options for you to choose from, either for short-term or long-term parking. They are:
- Daily: $1.25 per-30 minutes. Daily maximum: $20.00
- Take a ticket when you enter the garage.
- Before you leave the garage, take your ticket to one of the pay stations located inside the garage. Insert your ticket into the pay station and pay the amount owing using cash or credit (Visa or MasterCard).
- Once the ticket is paid for, the machine will give it back to you. Use this ticket to exit the garage.
- Multi-day discounted pass
- If you are planning to be at the hospital on a more regular basis, you can purchase a multi-day discounted parking pass for the underground garage. The passes are discounted by 50 per cent and are available for patients and visitors only. The passes can be purchased in 5, 10 and 30 day increments.
5 day cost = $46.10
10 day cost = $92.20 (you will receive two five-day passes)
30 day cost = $276.60 (you will receive six five-day passes for a total of 30 days)
- The pass can be purchased from the Cashier's Office located inside the main entrance during regular business hours using debit, credit or cash. A receipt can be provided. On evenings and weekends, parking passes may be purchased from the Security Operations Centre which is also inside the main lobby. Passes purchased from Security must be paid for in cash.
- Passes do not have to be used on consecutive days, which means you could use the pass anytime up to one year after its purchase date.
- Your vehicle can leave and enter anytime throughout one 24 hour period. If your vehicle is in the garage for more than 24 hours, the next day of your pass will begin.
- The pass allows for only one car only to park at a time.
When you enter or exit the garage, insert your plastic parking pass into the machine. When the gate rises, retrieve your pass and proceed in or out of the garage. If the pass does not work push the intercom button and Security will arrive to help you. The first time you use your pass may be to exit the garage because you had taken a regular ticket to enter. Insert your pass at the exit terminal. After that, you must remember to use your pass on the way in and out of the garage each time.
Should the garage be full, please show your pass to the attendant on the ramp and they will allow you entry to the garage.
The passes are non-refundable.
- If you are planning to be at the hospital on a more regular basis, you can purchase a multi-day discounted parking pass for the underground garage. The passes are discounted by 50 per cent and are available for patients and visitors only. The passes can be purchased in 5, 10 and 30 day increments.
Waterfront / Richardson Beach Lot
There are two municipal parking lots located off of King Street West. Parking is available in both using the 'Pay & Display' machine located in each lot between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Pay & Display machine accepts coins and credit cards (Visa and MasterCard). These lots have a maximum three-hour parking limit.
- Waterfront lot– 52 spaces - $2.00 per-hour
- Richardson Beach lot - 28 spaces - $2.00 per-hour
On-Street Parking
On-street parking is available in many areas within a short distance of the hospital. These spaces are operated by the City of Kingston. The maximum length of stay is 3 hours and vehicles may not be parked in these spaces longer then the maximum time allowed. The cost for on-street metered parking is $2.00 an hour between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Saturday. Click here for a map of the streets around KGH.
Emergency Parking
There are four spaces directly outside the Emergency department entrance. You can use these spaces if you:
- Are picking up or dropping off a patient. (10 minute parking limit)
- If you have driven yourself to the Emergency Department and are unable to move your vehicle under your own power.
General parking assistance or inquiries
The Security Control Centre is available 24 /7 to answer any parking related inquiries at 613-549-6666 extension 4142. If the Security Control Centre is unable to assist you, your inquiry will be forwarded to the Manager of Parking for follow-up.
Financial assistance may be available if parking costs are a substantial financial burden. Frequent patients/visitors can speak to staff in their care unit to discuss their specific circumstances to assess applicability.

The resource has been added to your collection
The effects of volcanoes on both the environment and people are the focus of this investigation. Students are introduced to the term "buffer" and are tasked with creating a possible buffer zone around Mount St. Helens. Students begin by assigning 32 pre-written statements related to volcanoes into categories of cause, effect and human responses. The chart, along with true-color and false-color LandSat images from 1980 and 1999, are used to study the eruption of Mount St. Helens to determine that possible buffer zone. The URL opens to the investigation directory, with links to teacher and student materials, lesson extensions, resources, teaching tips, and assessment strategies. As the first investigation in this module entitled, "Volcanoes- Local Hazard, Global Issue," the teacher's guide will begin with a two-page module overview and list of all standards addressed. This is Investigation 1 of three found in the Grades 5-8 Module 1 of Mission Geography. The Mission Geography curriculum integrates data and images from NASA missions with the National Geography Standards. Each of the three investigations in Module 1, while related, can be done independently.

One personal goal is still out there for Kain Colter, who said in August that he dreams about racking up 100 passing, 100 rushing and 100 receiving yards in a game.
Beyond that, it's hard to imagine a better performance than Colter's against Indiana on Saturday. He rushed for four touchdowns, tying a Northwestern record, and chewed up 161 yards on just 14 carries. He caught nine balls – six on third down – for 131 yards.
His 292 all-purpose yards were 42 shy of the school's all-time mark, set by Jason Wright in 2003.
The accolades have come pouring in for a guy who was strictly a quarterback for NU's first four games this season:
Indiana coach Kevin Wilson: "I'm really impressed with the way he ran routes – fast and explosive. He looked like a very polished receiver."
NU tailback Venric Mark: "He's a great athlete, and he runs great routes. If you don't have the right scheme to cover him, then you can't."
NU coach Pat Fitzgerald: "He is incredibly talented, someone we will try to keep on the field as much as we possibly can."
Fitzgerald also called him "the most dynamic young man, I think, in this conference."
Colter, the 6-foot, 190-pound junior from Denver, said his ability to get open as a slot receiver is a mix of natural gifts and studying former NU pass-catchers Jeremy Ebert and Drake Dunsmore – and NFL studs Wes Welker and Steve Smith.
"I even love to watch some of the bigger guys, like Calvin Johnson, to see the way they set up the defender and get in and out of cuts," Colter said.
Colter spends all his meeting time in the quarterbacks room, still viewing that position as his primary job: "Trevor (Siemian) could get dinged up, and then I'm back to being that guy. I'm playing a lot of roles right now. It's fun, not really that tough. You get to go out there and make plays."
Colter is realistic about a future in the NFL after next season.
"For me to say that I'm going to go to the NFL to play quarterback is far out right now," he said. "Wherever I can get in, I'll do it. I feel like it's good to show them I am diverse."
Extra points: The Wildcats practiced in the rain Wednesday morning to prepare for what's expected Saturday against Penn State in State College, Pa. "We're anticipating high 50s and rain," Fitzgerald said, "so we got them out in the elements and put them on the grass to really test their footing. They had to be fundamentally sound." ? Not only have the Wildcats been blaring music at practice to prep for a crowd in excess of 100,000 at Beaver Stadium, they have played loud tunes during meetings. "Not the whole meeting, but little bits of it to get completely and thoroughly annoyed," Fitzgerald said. "It's why most of the coaches have hoarse voices." ? Given that Penn State coach Bill O'Brien had been the offensive coordinator for the Patriots, Fitzgerald was asked if he has watched tape of the Patriots' attack: "In the summer study, yeah. As much as we could get our hands on. But I don't think Tom Brady or (Rob) Gronkowski or Aaron Hernandez are playing Saturday. No disrespect to the kids at Penn State, but (the Patriots) did some things unique to the skill sets of those three guys. And Welker. Coach O'Brien does a terrific job. It's similar to what we do -- players, formations, plays. Take advantage of the skill sets of the guys."

Alumni Profile: Alanna Kleinman BA '13
November 11, 2013
Alanna Kleinman BA '13
Major: Religious studies
Hometown: Tucson, Arizona
What drew you to attend Lewis & Clark?
I originally planned to major in environmental studies and was drawn to the program at Lewis & Clark. I also thought I liked rain. In Tucson, it monsoons for one month out of the year. From a young age, that was my favorite month and I dreamt of spending a whole year in the rain. When I visited Lewis & Clark, I was instantly in awe of the campus. The environment was unlike any other I had experienced and I couldn't wait to spend four years exploring the area.
What do you think makes Lewis & Clark unique?
I think the religious landscape of the Pacific Northwest makes Lewis & Clark a unique place to study religion. Although Portland is situated within the least religiously affiliated region of the United States, a large percentage of residents see themselves as "spiritual." They just don't belong to religious institutions.
People in the Pacific Northwest strive for personal autonomy in expressions of spirituality. One of the most exciting things about studying religion at Lewis & Clark is the ability to study outside of the classroom. This opportunity allowed me to encounter and try to make sense of religion outside the confines of textbooks.
How did you become interested in pursuing religious studies?
After high school, I participated in the gap year program, Kivunim: New Directions. I lived and studied in Jerusalem, very close to the old city. I experienced the complexities and issues that arise in a city that is holy to three separate religions.
Once I came to Lewis & Clark and began life in the least religiously affiliated region of the United States, I felt a deep longing to explore religion. I began investigating the Hebrew language as part of an independent study with Paul S. Wright Professor of Christian Studies Rob Kugler and next thing I knew, I was in his Dead Sea Scrolls seminar. There was no turning back.
What was your most memorable Lewis & Clark moment?
One of my favorite memories is from the last semester of my senior year. Associate Professor of Religious Studies Susanna Morrill was set to take over as department chair the following year. She made a few jokes about needing an actual chair for the position, to establish some sort of status.
At the end of a particularly long night at the library, Kayla Aronson BA '13 and I found ourselves in front of a plastic chair with a few dozen sharpies. We decided to cover the chair in definitions of religion–we had spent the previous year studying the work of a number of theorists–in order to illustrate the variety of definitions that exist simultaneously.
The next day, we snuck the chair into Susanna's office while she was out. I didn't realize it at the time, but that chair helped me conceptualize the varieties of religious experience I learned about over the course of my career at Lewis & Clark. These definitions inform my current understanding of religion.
Were there any formative courses or faculty that helped shape the path you've taken since graduating?
This year, I made a conscious shift from the academic, historical study of religion to the intensive theological study of Jewish text. The trajectory is vast and scholars devote their entire lives to the study of Torah.
Among other things, my thesis led me down this path. One of the conclusions that I came to is that American Jewish identity should be based more on the positive history of text study and scholarship instead of traumas like the Holocaust. We can only begin to forge a healthy identity when we have pride of accomplishment and peoplehood. After reaching this conclusion, I felt like I needed to practice what I preached. Former executive director of the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center and adjunct professor Sylvia Frankel, who helped me a great deal with research for my thesis, suggested I look into studying at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem.
How did your time at Lewis & Clark help to cultivate your leadership qualities?
Through various volunteer opportunities and internships, I learned how to connect with the wider community at an individual level. As a member of SAAB and as a leadership and service scholar, I gained priceless leadership experience. At a small school, leadership positions and leadership training are wonderfully accessible.
Is there anything else you'd like to say to current or future Lewis & Clark students?
At Lewis & Clark, I heard a lot about the value of a liberal arts education. This year, surrounded by students from a variety of backgrounds, I can confirm the skill set I acquired at Lewis & Clark is immensely useful. I see others working to cultivate similar skills.
I was fortunate to have begun this year with strong reading and writing abilities. And I am greatly indebted to my professors for teaching me how to intelligently approach texts, people, and places with different frames of reference. A liberal arts education is invaluable in the modern world.

I'm pregnant with twins through IVF after several years of trying and previous miscarriages. I started having major complications starting week 12 (before we had announced the pregnancy) and have been on strict hospital or home bedrest now from week 12 to now week at week 32 and will be for the duration.
We announced the pregnancy after we hit the viability mark at 24 weeks, but not that we're pregnant with twins to anyone except parents and siblings. Every time we thought about announcing the twins, we were faced with another major complication and had to go through more tests, treatments and then told by the Dr. that all we could do is wait and watch and that we won't really be out of the woods until the day we deliver safely.
The baby shower thing isn't an issue since b/c of the strict bed rest we're planning on a "meet the babies/shower" a couple of months after the babies are home. With the exception of all the scary complications, its been nice to have this little secret to share just w/ my hubby and immediate family. The added stress from the hype of announcing the twins may bring more attention and questions than necessary in this condition.
I wasn't able to see a lot of people due to the strict home or hospital bedrest due to being emotionally distraught from all the complications and a couple of my closest friends have been very strangely and basically stopped talking to me. I thought this was pretty selfish as in a condition like this, I would think my real friends should support me in any way I need, even if that means trying to understand the reasons behind our decisions. Everyone else has been very supportive and happy for us, but I'm concerned that hopefully when all goes well and we deliver our twins, our friends may be offended. Even though we certainly hope this is not the case, as I think we would understand given they were in this situation, I cannot be sure how people will react. I feel like I'm doing the best thing for my babies. Would really appreciate suggestions/advice/opinions on this matter?!...

Sometimes it seems the job description of a politician includes not having fun with things the kids like, because, well, think of the dignity of the office or something. P'shaw. Dallas' mayor must have been thinking of the coolness of the office when he kicked off a 24-hour Guitar Hero III fund-raising marathon on Friday.
Mayor Tom Leppert, 53, made sweet sweet love to his main axe with "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," craning the guitar neck up and grimacing dramatically. Sure he handed it off to his 11-year-old "personal Guitar Hero coach" Aaron Blackmon mid-song. But Leppert got it back to drop to his knees for the big finish.
"I might not have hit the keys, but boy I sure got the style points," Leppert said. Aaron says the mayor is "good for his level," (ouch) but that he shouldn't play Guitar Hero as a career.
"The heck with this mayor stuff," Leppert replied.
Leppert was matched against Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes, whom Leppert accused of practicing for "hours and hours" to get "School's Out" right. When Keyes started his licks, Leppert stuffed $5 bills in his guitar strap and half-heartedly interfered with the guitar's signal back to the console.
The fund-raiser hopes to raise $US 625,000 for the mayor's "Igniting Opportunity for the Children of Dallas Campaign." This is part of leadership, too — having fun at an event that's supposed to be fun. Good on Mayor Leppert.

PORTSMOUTH — On Nov. 12, meet three hilarious killers as Stage Force's Play Reading Series takes on Murderers by Jeffrey Hatcher.
There's no whodunit mystery to the crimes Hatcher explores on fictional Riddle Key, Florida. Instead, this collection of three sharply satirical stories is told by the killers themselves, who deliver us a boatload of pitch-perfect black comedy. There's the tax-evader with an eye to his mother-in-law's fortune; a vigilante receptionist with a love for crime novels who decides to rid the island's retirement community of nuisances from salesmen to missionaries, and a long-suffering wife who determines to put a stop to her septuagenarian husband's philandering ways.
Among his many stage and screen credits, playwright Hatcher, a favorite of Stage Force, wrote several episodes of Columbo, so fans of the murder-mystery-in-reverse will not want to miss this one-performance treat.
Murderers features Brent Askari, Helen Auerbach, and Susan Poulin. It will be read at 7:30 pm at The Music Hall Loft, 131 Congress Street, Portsmouth on November 12. The $12 ticket price includes a complimentary beverage: glass of wine, beer, presspot coffee, White Heron tea, or soft drink.
The Play Reading Series is sponsored by Jumpin' Jays Fish Cafe, with support from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. All Play Reading performances start at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets for the series are $12 and go on sale through The Music Hall box office on Feb 6. They can be purchased in advance at 28 Chestnut Street, Portsmouth, at TheMusicHall.org, or by calling 603-436-2400. Tickets are also available on a walk-up basis on the night of performances at The Music Hall Loft, 131 Congress Street, Portsmouth, if not sold out in advance. For more information about the series, visit StageForce.org.
The series will conclude on Dec. 16 and 17 with The Ragpicker's Dream, part of The Music Hall's Vintage Christmas.

Pakistan and Iran: Pipelines or pipe dreams? (REPORT)
By Kamal Hyder
Two weeks ago, the leaders of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan met in Islamabad for the third round of a periodically held trilateral summit.
Iran and Afghanistan, however, have as much to discuss with Pakistan regarding those countries' bilateral relationships with Islamabad as they do with each other.
As such, Hamid Karzai, the Afghan prime minister, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, held separate bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the larger summit with their Pakistani counterparts, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and President Asif Zardari.
Afghanistan's concerns were fairly straightforward: with the United States seeking an honourable exit from the war in Afghanistan, and the impending talks with the Taliban set to take place in Qatar facilitating such a move, Karzai was concerned about the fate of his fragile government, and the role Pakistan would play to stabilise or destablise his country.
Ahmadinejad, meanwhile, took the stance of blaming regional turmoil on external influences, a thinly veiled dig at the United States. Faced with the prospect of ever-tightening sanctions against his country from the US and the European Union, Ahmadinejad wanted guarantees from Pakistan that a gas pipeline deal that has been in the works for several years will not now become victim to US sanctions.
This deal has already been subject to opposition from the US, of course, Initially, the pipeline was to run from Iran, through Pakistan, into India – making it the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) pipeline. The Indian government, however, pulled out in 2008, after the United States stepped in and promised the country it would offer it entrance into the club of nations allowed to trade in civilian nuclear technology, in order to meet India's ever-growing energy demands.
In exchange, Delhi was asked to drop its plans to co-operate economically with Iran.
At the time, Pakistan demanded that the US offer it the same deal. Washington refused, suggesting instead that Pakistan modify the IPI plan and use Turkmenistan as its natural gas source – creating the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) project. Given the unstable security situation in Afghanistan, however, that plan never took off, and Pakistan instead signed a nuclear energy co-operation deal with China.
Iran pipeline challenges
Security challenges, however, are not limited to Afghanistan. If an Iran-Pakistan pipeline is to be built, it will pass through Pakistan's restive Balochistan province. Nationalists in that province are fighting for an independent homeland, and Islamabad alleges that they are doing so with Indian support.
The Balochistan issue is a touchy topic with Pakistan, and US-Pakistan relations have been rattled in recent days by the passage of a non-binding resolution in the US House of Representatives condemning a Pakistani crackdown on what the state calls "insurgents" in that area.
Balochistan, then, is a stick the US can use to beat Pakistan within the public sphere, were it to move forward on any pipeline deal.
Regardless, Pakistan has assured Iran that it will indeed move forward on its proposed pipelines, no matter what the obstacles are. Iran has also proposed barter deals with Pakistan to buy a million tons of wheat and 200,000 tons of sugar in exchange for fertiliser and iron ore. It has also offered to provide Pakistan with 80,000 barrels of crude oil on a deferred payment basis, and aid in laying the pipeline required to transport said oil.
The US, meanwhile, has warned that the pipeline deal is in direct violation of its latest round of sanctions against Tehran, and could prompt sanctions on Pakistan.
With Pakistan's economy already precariously balanced between massive external debts and struggling industries, any new sanctions could push it over the edge.
The seriousness of the threat of sanctions prompted Pakistan's political and military leadership to head into a crisis meeting, reassessing the country's options.
Pakistan already buys the bulk of her oil from countries in the Gulf, particularly from key ally
Saudi Arabia. As such, it would appear that the country's relations with those countries, as well as the threat of sanctions from the United States, would be enough to convince it to hold off on the deal with Iran.
Despite the tough talk, then, it would appear that for now at least, the pipeline deal is more of a pipe dream.

Python 3 as Default
Up until now, Fedora has used Python 2 as a default Python implementation. This change proposes switching to Python 3. The term "switching" is explained in detail in Scope section.
- Name: Slavek Kabrda
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Release notes owner:
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 22
- Last updated: 10-03-2013
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler> (we already created a tracker bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014209)
Detailed Description
Python 3 is the next generation of Python programming language. It is currently mature and stable, since it has been under active development for five years - 3.0 was released in December 2008, current latest stable version is 3.3.2 released in May 2013. The reasons why to switch to Python 3 as a default are mentioned in #Benefit to Fedora section, possible issues in #Scope. This feature assumes that DNF will be the default package manager in F22, as Yum doesn't and never will work with Python 3. If DNF doesn't make it to Fedora 22, this feature has to be postponed accordingly.
Benefit to Fedora
Python 2.7 (latest Python 2 release, which we also have in Fedora) is currently in maintenance mode only, which means upstream only accepts bugfixes and security fixes, but no new features are being implemented. According to upstream, Python 2.7 is the last release of Python 2 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/). Support for Python 2 is guaranteed by upstream until May 2015 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/#maintenance-releases), then it may continue for some time or it may not. Python 3, on the other hand, is actively developed and new features are being added every release.
Fedora already has Python 3 stack, that is parallel to Python 2 stack. The are few benefits of switching the "primary" Python stack:
- Getting upstream support for default system version will not be limited by time.
- Our system tools will be able to switch to Python 3, drop the burden of Python 2 support and use new features of Python 3.
- As a distribution that stays close to upstream, Fedora should help Python community go forward by contributing patches and working closely with upstreams to get this accomplished. Thus this Change is meant to benefit not only Fedora, but also broad Python community.
- Switching to Python 3 as a default will once again push Fedora to stay as close to upstream as possible, highlighting the "Features" and "First" (although, to be honest, Arch Linux was first in this...)
The main goal is switching to Python 3 as a default, in which state:
- DNF is the default package manager instead of Yum, which only works with Python 2
- Python 3 is the only Python in minimal buildroot
- Python 3 is the only Python on LiveCD
- Anaconda and all of its dependencies run on Python 3
- cloud-init and all of its dependencies run on Python 3
(see Dependencies for the list of packages that need to be ported)
This will also require revisiting Python guidelines (broader discussion with community and FPC approval - TBD). The result of the discussion will reflect in this feature in further instructions for Fedora packagers.
There are basically two types of packages that need to undergo the conversion:
- Python extension modules and libraries that provide Python bindings - assuming that there is upstream support, these can recieve python3- subpackage anytime without any damage to Fedora; we can then just utilize this subpackage when switching to Python 3 (instead of using current python- subpackage).
- Packages that build with some sort of "embedded Python support", like gdb, or Rhythmbox with its plugins. In these cases, it makes no sense to do a python3- subpackage, since the whole package would need to be duplicated (e.g. python3-gdb), which doesn't make sense. These packages should be tested with Python 3 locally without any modifications to how they're currently built in Fedora. When we get a Koji side-tag, these packages will switch and build against Python 3 in the side tag.
Work in Fedora 21 Timeframe
- Proposal owners:
- Discussing changes in Python packaging guidelines with Fedora community and FPC
- Helping upstreams with porting to Python 3
- Introducing python3- packages where appropriate, testing packages that only build with Python once (e.g. gdb, Rhythmbox)
- Other developers:
- Hopefully the same as proposal owners.
- Release engineering:
- Nothing in F21 timeframe
- Policies and guidelines:
- As mentioned above, this will require a discussion with community and FPC and preparation of changes to Python packaging guidelines. The changes related to the actual switch should however be merged in F22 timeframe and only if the switch is successful.
Work in Fedora 22 Timeframe
- Proposal owners:
- Continue the work from F21 timeframe
- Request Koji side-tag and encourage packagers to rebuilt their packages with Python 3 there
- If the switch to Python 3 is achieved in the side-tag:
- Modify comps accordingly
- Apply the changes to Python packaging guidelines
- Ask relengs to merge the side tag into F22
- Else:
- Postpone the Change for another release
- Do not merge side tag into F22
- Do not apply changes to Python packaging guidelines
- Other developers:
- Introduce python3- subpackages where appropriate, build against Python 3 in the side tag where appropriate
- Release engineering:
- Create the Koji side tag
- Merge the side tag back in F22 if the switch is achieved
- Policies and guidelines:
- Apply the changes to Python guidelines if the switch is achieved
Upgrade/compatibility impact
The Python 2 stack will stay in Fedora, it will just not be the default one. Depending on the modifications done to Python packaging guidelines, this probably means that Python 2 packages will stay the way they are and default tools will drag in python3- dependencies. Upstream recommends, that /usr/bin/python should point to Python 2 runtime for the time being, so if we go with that, there shouldn't be any serious compatibility impact:
- Users will still be able to install Python 2 packages
- Both Python 2 and 3 stacks will still live in parallel
Libraries that are built with Python only once (like gdb) may force users to rewrite their custom scripts and plugins (see e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014549#c3).
How To Test
- No special hardware is needed.
- Using mock for testing is strongly recommended. During rebuilding in the Koji side tag, things may get unstable and you'd be risking breaking your system.
- Install the packages built against Python 3 from the Koji side tag and test if they still work as expected.
- When the switch is prepared in the side tag, just try installing the packages from there and removing Python 2 from your system. Again, look for any problems that may be related to the switch.
User Experience
Users shouldn't notice any change in behaviour, except from installation of python3- packages by default.
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Churchyard/python3 (our tracking page with notes) or https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014209 (tracking bug).
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) Don't merge the koji side-tag into rawhide, revert changes in dist-git.
- Contingency deadline: Development freeze
- Blocks release? No

French, 1883–1955
Montmartre, c. 1930
oil on canvas
50.3 x 61.3 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Bequest of Elva I. Bulgin
Maurice Utrillo, the son of artist and model Susan Valadon, began to paint when he was in his early twenties, at his mother's urging, in the hope that it would remedy his alcoholism. Continually challenged by depression and mental illness, the highly prolific Utrillo approached his painting as therapy, finding consolation in depicting the street scenes of the rustic artists' quarter of Montmartre. Sometimes using tourist postcards as his inspiration, Utrillo's captivating viewpoints convey the simplicity and charm of suburban life. The WAG picture, which shows a quaint rectilinear alleyway with pedestrians, celebrates the artist's investigation of bold colours and vigorous brushwork, which betray his interest in the Expressionist style.

PANGKALPINANG, Indonesia (Reuters) - Tin mining on these sleepy islands off Sumatra has brought wealth, but at a price; it is literally eating away at the land.
The scale of the environmental damage on the Bangka-Belitung islands can be most clearly seen from the air, revealing a lunar landscape of craters and hundreds of highly acidic, turquoise lakes created by centuries of largely unregulated tin mining.
Efforts in recent years to control illegal mining on the islands have reverberated thousands of miles away by spooking world markets for tin in global financial centers such as London.
"We will continue to clamp down as long as there are violations," said Iskandar Hasan, Bangka-Belitung's police chief, adding that mining was still going on in prohibited areas such as protected forests in the province of about 1 million people.
Tin exports from Indonesia, the world's second-biggest producer after China, have slowed after a government clampdown on illegal mining in Bangka-Belitung, helping make tin one of the best performers on the London Metal Exchange in recent years.
The white metal, widely used in food packaging and to solder electronic products, hit an all-time high of $25,500 a tonne in May. It has halved along with falls in most other metals due to concerns over a global recession.
Indonesia's government has said it will set an annual tin production quota of 100,000 tonnes from next year in a bid to reduce environmental degradation in the main tin-mining areas.
But the situation on the ground is often murky.
Thousands of small-scale traditional and often illegal mining operations sprung up in the late 1990s when the Asian financial crisis wiped out jobs in other sectors of the economy.
It takes only a short drive from the provincial capital Pangkalpinang, which boasts its own tin museum complete with display cabinets with gleaming bars of tin, to come across signs of mining right near the road.
One miner, Aji, who had come to Bangka three years ago from Lampung in southern Sumatra, said he was more worried about dwindling tin supplies than a police crackdown.
"In the past, it was very easy to find tin. Now it's very difficult," added the 32-year-old, who earns about 100,000 rupiah ($10) a day, which he shares with two other miners in his team.
Sitting next to a large crater filled with murky looking water, Aji explained how the miners' search for tin with a high-pressure water jet to hose away the crumbling sand soil and then separate out the seams of darker ore.
Even this small-scale mining has left the area completely bare of the thick tropical vegetation that once existed.
From Papua to Kalimantan, there are many examples of mining damaging Indonesia's rich natural environment, with the situation often exacerbated by lax policing, poverty and corruption. The explosion in unregulated mining in Bangka helped tin exports soar and prices plummet in 2002 before a crackdown on illegal tin mining and smelting in 2006 spurred a recovery.
David Bishop, managing director of UK-based tin consultancy ITRI, said mining on Bangka appeared to be on a more sustainable footing after the clampdown over the past few years.
ITRI, which is backed by the tin industry, also said in a recent report that small-scale or illegal mining in Indonesia was also being curbed as shallow higher grade alluvial reserves had been rapidly depleted, while production costs had risen.
Several of Indonesia's small tin smelters stopped production at the end of September and will likely stay shut for the rest of this year because of the drop in tin prices.
"Our miners that supply tin ore have been idle because they can't cover production costs due to falling tin prices," said Patris Lumumba, director of Bangka-Belitung Timah Sejahtera, a consortium of seven smelters.
Eko Maulana Ali, governor of Bangka-Belitung, said that 40 percent of the islands' workforce was currently involved in tin mining and dependence had to be cut, but at a manageable pace.
"Gradually, we try to stop them," he told Reuters, referring to small-scale traditional and often illegal mining operations.
Authorities were try to encourage people to work instead in industries such as tourism, maritime and agriculture.
Bangka is ringed by beautiful beaches but gets few visitors due to limited transport links and tourism infrastructure.
A new terminal is being built at Bangka's tiny airport and the runway would be extended to 2,500 meters from 2,000 by the end of 2009 to allow in more planes, the governor said.
But there are few hotels catering to international visitors and little service culture. During a recent stay at a resort near Pangkalpinang to attend a mining conference, the tap water was erratic and the chef failed to show in time for breakfast.
Even with a slowdown in small-scale mining, efforts to restore damaged land, such as by replanting trees, were proceeding very slowly. A local official estimated that 619,000 hectares (1.5 million acres) had been damaged by tin mining.
Ali, the governor, said it costs 5-10 million rupiah per hectare to rehabilitate these areas.
Some Indonesian tin mining companies are looking to exploit tin deposits in the surrounding sea using dredges.
PT Timah, the world's biggest integrated tin miner and headquartered in Pangkalpinang, plans to spend a total of 350 billion rupiah on seven new small dredges and one big dredge this year to increase off-shore mining activity.
With the new dredges, the firm expects to source half its tin ore from off-shore mining by 2009, compared to a fifth at present.
