NEW YORK — Mets rookie Eric Campbell earned a start in left field because of his bat. He should be getting even more playing time because of his glove.
In his first career major-league game in the outfield, Campbell doubled Yasiel Puig off second base after making a spectacular diving catch in the eighth that helped preserve the Mets' 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night.
"As it always goes, put a guy in for his offense and his defense saves the game," manager Terry Collins said.
Campbell had a sacrifice fly in the first inning and is hitting .368 in his first eight big league games. Collins said he is going to use the versatile 27 year old who plays mostly at the corner infield spots at second base and shortstop, too.
Campbell, who even worked out a bit behind the plate to be the Mets emergency catcher with Travis d'Arnaud on the 7-day concussion list, is ready.
"I can handle it," Campbell said of playing second and short. "Just fielding a groundball and throwing to first."
Jonathon Niese (3-3) hit an RBI double to provide himself some much-needed run support and pitched seven sharp innings for New York, which won for just the sixth time in 20 games this month and avoided a three-game sweep. Juan Lagares had a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh.
The dynamic yet, at times, frustrating Puig made a sensational catch of his own on a sinking liner to right-center that was so good it elicited a warm ovation from the 23,416 in attendance. But he made two baserunning mistakes that could have cost the Dodgers runs.
"That's one of the best catches I've ever seen," Campbell said. "That was crazy."
Zack Greinke's stretch of 21 straight starts allowing two or fewer runs ended. A mark that hasn't been matched since at least 1914 was done in by some sloppy play.
"Just in my experience, we've played incredible defense when I'm pitching throughout the years," Greinke said, "so, if someone makes one mistake in one game, you can't really say too much."
Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp bobbled Curtis Granderson's drive in the first inning to right-center, allowing Granderson to take third base on a double in a 12-pitch at-bat. Granderson then scored on Campbell's sacrifice fly.
In the fifth, third baseman Justin Turner failed to glove Daniel Murphy's slow grounder that allowed Niese to score for a 3-1 lead.
Niese reached on a well-struck RBI double to right-center following Anthony Recker's double to a similar spot.
Greinke was lifted after five, yielding four hits, three runs — one earned — two walks and four Ks. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 22 games.
Niese then walked Chone Figgins, playing in place of Dee Gordon, to start the sixth. Figgins advanced to second on Puig's grounder to third when Murphy, the second baseman, dropped Wright's force attempt — the call was upheld by replay. But Niese escaped unscathed when Puig ran into an out on an infield fly gone awry.
Hanley Ramirez hit a high popup to second base. Murphy backed up under the ball but appeared to lose it in the lights. When the ball fell, Murphy hesitated and Puig jogged into second. Apparently thinking he was forced out, Puig wandered off second and was tagged out for the double play.
"I didn't actually see the umpire give the signal," Puig said through a translator. "I felt it was a little bit too late and, by that time, I was already off the base. I thought it was going to be a double play and I was already off in that situation."
The Dodgers tied it in the seventh, though, when Turner hit his first homer with the Dodgers after spending parts of four seasons with the Mets.
"He's welcome for that one," Niese said, joking. "For that one, just a mistake that he punched."
Lagares' RBI single off Chris Perez (0-2) gave the Mets back the lead in the seventh. Granderson tripled in a run in the eighth for a 5-3 lead.
Niese had received just five runs of support total in his previous four home starts. The left-hander has not allowed more than three earned runs in 12 starts.
Jenrry Mejia pitched the ninth for his second save. He pitched a scoreless ninth Wednesday night making this his first back-to-back appearances since moving to the bullpen this month.
Niese hurls, hits Mets to win
NEW YORK — Mets rookie Eric Campbell earned a start in left field because of his bat. He should be getting even more playing time because of his glove.

Motorcycles, Crowns and Rescues
It has been an up and down kind of week. The Lions got smacked by the Bears on Sunday but then Verlander goes out and gets a unanimous Cy Young award win. Wilson Ramos got himself kidnapped in Venezuela but then he went and got himself rescued as well. Like I said, it has been up and down.
Luckily, during the down times, there's always one place I can go to feel better: the highway.
Seriously, could anything make you feel better than the Russian motorcycle sidecar band?
Actually, there probably is one thing. Winning a prize from Crown Royal by proving that you're RSBS' biggest fan. We're still waiting for more of those pictures so get out there and show us your RSBS spirit!

More of the quilt piece you have on the opening page would be extremely nice for beginners at quilting. Offer them with a couple of other patterns to go along with it, and the material to go along with it and it would be a great gift for a beginner quilt maker! It would be great for the beginner quilt maker to buy it for themselves, just to make them up for a gift for that special person for Christmas. With the materials needed, already cut out in the shapes for the specific patterns, it would be easy enough for just about anyone to make them. They should be reasonably priced, so kids can afford to buy them for a present for Mom or Grandmother's, gift.

EAST LANSING, Mich., April 16 (UPI) -- Countries that are best at preparing their math teachers share several key conditions generally lacking in the United States, researchers say.
The first international study of what teacher preparation programs are able to accomplish found that in countries such as Taiwan and Singapore future math teachers are better prepared because students get rigorous math instruction in high school, university teacher-preparation programs are highly selective and demanding, and prospective math teachers are finding the profession attractive, with excellent pay, benefits and security.
"Some critics of teacher education believe you can bypass colleges of education and prepare teachers in an easier, faster way, but our study doesn't support that," Maria Teresa Tatto, an education professor at Michigan State University, which led the study, said in a university release Monday.
"In Taiwan, for example, nobody graduates without the demonstrated ability to teach mathematics," she said. "Here in the United States, far too many of our graduates lack the knowledge of mathematics and how to teach it, which they will need as they begin to teach."
The researchers analyzed data from representative national samples that included about 500 higher education institutions in 17 countries that prepare primary and secondary school teachers.
Taiwan and Singapore were best in preparing math teachers, and Russia also scored highly, the researchers said.
Poland, Switzerland and Germany did well, partly because they rely more on specialist teachers in lower grades, they said.
The United States generally finished below this group but above other countries that scored well below the international average, Tatto said.

It is only natural for the Metropolitan Opera to refresh its offerings regularly with new productions, even when an old one has been successful. But it is hard to imagine the Met retiring John Dexter's 1977 staging of Francis Poulenc's masterpiece "Dialogues des Carmélites" ("Dialogues of the Carmelites").
Last seen there 10 years ago, the production returned on Saturday afternoon for a three-performance run. It was as austerely powerful as ever, ennobled by an exceptional cast and the purposeful conducting of Louis Langrée.
First performed at La Scala in Milan in 1957, "Dialogues" was inspired by the true story of a group of Carmelite nuns who defied anti-religious decrees and went to the guillotine during the French Revolution. Poulenc wrote the French libretto, adapted from a play by Georges Bernanos, and his music is an uncanny balancing act: restrained yet lush, refined yet wrenching. The harmonic language combines tart modern, milky Impressionist sonorities with echoes of modal French sacred music from earlier times. All of these qualities were brought out in the urgent and nuanced performance Mr. Langrée drew from the Met orchestra.
With a simple set by David Reppa, the opera is played atop a platform of gray stones in the shape of a cross, against a black backdrop. Minimal set pieces descend from above to suggest convent walls, a chapel or, in the gruesome final scene, the Place de la Révolution.
While "Dialogues" presents a community of nuns, each character is depicted with touching particularity. Poulenc focuses on Blanche, the daughter of the kindly Marquis de la Force, who lives under threat from the revolutionaries. Blanche, spirited and curious by nature, enters the convent to take refuge, although her loving brother, the Chevalier de la Force (the appealing young tenor Paul Appleby), has it right when he tells her that she became a nun to conquer her "fear of fear."
The mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard is an ideal Blanche. She sings with beguiling tenderness in moments of composure, but her voice throbs with penetrating intensity when Blanche is overcome with anxiety. At the convent she meets young Sister Constance, an endearing chatterbox. The lovely lyric soprano Erin Morley is wonderful in the role.
The head of the convent is the old and ailing Prioress, Mme. de Croissy. The distinguished British mezzo-soprano Felicity Palmer played the role when "Dialogues" was at the Met a decade ago. At 69, she is back and again riveting.
If now and then her voice is patchy, this just lends realism to her powerful singing. She was wrenching in the Prioress's death scene, when this severe nun, rather than embracing the moment, is seized by terror and feels abandoned by God. That she dies this way shocks the Carmelites.
But Constance has an innocent explanation: God gave the Prioress the wrong death, a difficult one, just as you might be handed the wrong garment from a cloakroom. So someone else, Constance predicts, is going to have a surprisingly easy time of it.
The soprano Patricia Racette brings earthy vocal colorings and trenchant expressivity to Mme. Lidoine, the new Prioress, so certain in her faith and ready for martyrdom. The excellent young American mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Bishop is a vocally lustrous and moving Mother Marie. (She did double duty at the Met on Saturday, taking over in the evening as Fricka in Wagner's "Rheingold" for Stephanie Blythe, who was ill.)
In the final scene the brave nuns, now in frumpy dresses, walk one by one to the guillotine amid a jeering crowd as they sing a wistful "Salve Regina." With each offstage death the sound of the swooshing blade slices through the sacred music.
Constance, terrified, is last to go. But Blanche, who had been hiding, working as a servant, joins her in sisterly solidarity as both go to the guillotine. So Constance was right: someone — herself — does have an easier death than she had feared.

keypad - enable/disable keypad handling
cc [ flag... ] file... –I /usr/xpg4/include –L /usr/xpg4/lib \ –R /usr/xpg4/lib –lcurses [ library... ] c89 [ flag... ] file... –lcurses [ library... ] #include <curses.h> int keypad(WINDOW *win, bool bf);
Is a pointer to the window in which to enable/disable keypad handling.
Is a Boolean expression.
The keypad() function controls keypad translation. If bf is TRUE, keypad translation is enabled. If bf is FALSE, keypad translation is disabled. The initial state is FALSE.
This function affects the behavior of any function that provides keyboard input.
If the terminal in use requires a command to enable it to transmit distinctive codes when a function key is pressed, then after keypad translation is first enabled, the implementation transmits this command to the terminal before an affected input function tries to read any characters from that terminal.
The Curses input model provides the following ways to obtain input from the keyboard:
The application can enable or disable keypad translation by calling keypad(). When translation is enabled, Curses attempts to translate a sequence of terminal input that represents the pressing of a function into a single key code. When translation is disabled, Curses passes terminal input to the application without such translation, and any interpretation of the input as representing the pressing of a keypad key must be done by the application.
The complete set of key codes for keypad keys that Curses can process is specified by the constants defined in <curses.h> whose names begin with "KEY_". Each terminal type described in the terminfo database may support some or all of these key codes. The terminfo database specifies the sequence of input characters from the terminal type that correspond to each key code.
The Curses implementation cannot translate keypad keys on terminals where pressing the keys does not transmit a unique sequence.
When translation is enabled and a character that could be the beginning of a function key (such as escape) is received, Curses notes the time and begins accumulating characters. If Curses receives additional characters that represent the processing of a keypad key within an unspecified interval from the time the character was received, then Curses converts this input to a key code for presentation to the application. If such characters are not received during this interval, translation of this input does not occur and the individual characters are presented to the application separately. (Because Curses waits for this interval to accumulate a key code, many terminals experience a delay between the time a user presses the escape key and the time the escape key is returned to the application.)
In addition, No Timeout Mode provides that in any case where Curses has received part of a function key sequence, it waits indefinitely for the complete key sequence. The "unspecified interval" in the previous paragraph becomes infinite in No Timeout Mode. No Timeout Mode allows the use of function keys over slow communication lines. No Timeout Mode lets the user type the individual characters of a function key sequence, but also delays application response when the user types a character (not a function key) that begins a function key sequence. For this reason, in No Timeout Mode many terminals will appear to hang between the time a user presses the escape key and the time another key is pressed. No Timeout Mode is switchable by calling notimeout(3XCURSES).
If any special characters (<backspace>, <carriage return>, <newline>, <tab>) are defined or redefined to be characters that are members of a function key sequence, then Curses will be unable to recognize and translate those function keys.
Several of the modes discussed below are described in terms of availability of input. If keypad translation is enabled, then input is not available once Curses has begun receiving a keypad sequence until the sequence is completely received or the interval has elapsed.
The following four mutually-specific Curses modes let the application control the effect of flow-control characters, the interrupt character, the erase character, and the kill character:
The terminal interface settings are reported when the process calls initscr(3XCURSES) or newterm(3XCURSES) to initialize Curses and restores these settings when endwin(3XCURSES) is called. The initial input mode for Curses operations is especially unless Enhanced Curses compliance, in which the initial mode is cbreak mode, is supported.
The behavior of the BREAK key depends on other bits in the display driver that are not set by Curses.
Two mutually-exclusive delay modes specify how quickly certain Curses functions return to the application when there is no terminal input waiting when the function is called:
The function fails.
The application waits until text is passed through to the application. If cbreak or Raw Mode is set, this is after one character. Otherwise, this is after the first <newline> character, end-of-line character, or end-of-file character.
The effect of No Delay Mode on function key processing is unspecified.
Echo mode determines whether Curses echoes typed characters to the screen. The effect of Echo mode is analogous to the effect of the ECHO flag in the local mode field of the termios structure associated with the terminal device connected to the window. However, Curses always clears the ECHO flag when invoked, to inhibit the operating system from performing echoing. The method of echoing characters is not identical to the operating system's method of echoing characters, because Curses performs additional processing of terminal input.
If in Echo mode, Curses performs 's's own echoing. Any visible input character is stored in the current or specified window by the input function that the application called, at that window's cursor position, as though addch(3XCURSES) were called, with all consequent effects such as cursor movement and wrapping.
If not in Echo mode, any echoing of input must be performed by the application. Applications often perform their own echoing in a controlled area of the screen, or do not echo at all, so they disable Echo mode.
It may not be possible to turn off echo processing for synchronous and networked asynchronous terminals because echo processing is done directly by the terminals. Applications running on such terminals should be aware that any characters typed will appear on the screen at wherever the cursor is positioned.
Upon successful completion, the keypad() function returns OK. Otherwise, it returns ERR.
No errors are defined.
See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes:
addch(3XCURSES), endwin(3XCURSES), getch(3XCURSES), initscr(3XCURSES), libcurses(3XCURSES), newterm(3XCURSES), nocbreak(3XCURSES), noraw(3XCURSES), attributes(7), standards(7)

Bodmin Folk Club
In 1967, a small group of enthusiasts who met weekly to sing in the Masons Arms decided to start a club to attract traditional performers to Cornwall. The first recorded club night of the Bodmin Traditional Folk Club was on 31st May 1968 in an upper room at The Barley Sheaf.
Since then, the club has met almost every single Friday night, welcoming a range of singers, musicians and occasional dancers from Britain and beyond at both guest nights and open houses.
Our new home is at The Old Library, 10 Lower Bore Street, PL31 2JX. It has a Licensed bar, also sells Tea & Coffee, Soft drinks, and wonderful sausage rolls and cake!
Find us there every Friday except Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and the August Bank Holiday weekend, when we're at Cornwall Folk Festival.

Ja Jiang Mein (Noodles with Meat Sauce)
In northern China, people enjoy this flavorful noodle dish hot or at room temperature. Enjoy ja jiang mein at whatever temperature you like. (And any time is noodle time in northern China.) In case you're wondering, ja jiang mein translates to fried sauce noodles. It's not the noodles that are fried, it's how you cook up the sauce.
Preparation time: 40 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup sweet bean paste
1 tablespoon chile garlic sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil
10 ounces dried wheat noodles or fresh egg noodles
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 onion
1/2 pound ground meat (pork is traditional, but beef or chicken will work too)
1 cucumber
1 carrot
Combine the chicken broth, sweet bean paste, garlic sauce, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil in a small bowl.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the noodles according to the package directions.
Drain the noodles, rinse them with cold water, and drain again.
Place a wok over high heat until hot.
Add the cooking oil, swirling to coat the sides.
Mince the garlic.
Add 1 tablespoon garlic to the wok and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
Dice the onion.
Add 1 cup onion to the wok and stir-fry until almost translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add the meat and stir-fry until brown and crumbly, about 2 minutes.
Add the sauce and cook until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
Before serving, toss the noodles with 1 tablespoon sesame oil to coat.
Place on a serving plate and pour the sauce over the noodles
Thinly julienne the cucumber and carrot, then place on top of the noodles.
When purchasing sweet bean paste — a salty-sweet paste made from fermented soybeans and sugar — don't confuse it with sweet bean sauce, which has a very different consistency. Pastes are thicker than sauces.

I'm not a fan of spring cleaning, but I know I have to do it. Like many of us, I have that one overstuffed closet that fills me with dread. What's in there? How old is it? Will it bite me? Quick View Plus 10 viewing software reminds me of spring cleaning. It lets you shine a clear light on those unread or forgotten files so you don't have to be afraid of the dark closets of your computer.
Quick View Plus 10
Pros: Lets you clearly view 300 different file formats almost instantly.Cons: It can't view absolutely everything; minimal editing capabilities.Performance: A-Features: B+Ease of use: AValue: A+Price: $49
I went to the company Web site and plugged in the user name and code the company had e-mailed me. It took about a minute to load the software onto a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion ZD7000 laptop PC with a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor running Microsoft Windows XP. Quick View Plus took up about 15.8M on my hard drive.
Quick View Plus puts a desktop icon of a magnifying glass on your desktop. Click on it, and it opens into a window view that you can make as big or as small as you like. It shows a little tree diagram of your computer, making it easy to navigate through your folders and files.
I had an old stash of about 1,000 files from 2001 through 2006, in all different formats: various incarnations of Word, PowerPoint, Adobe Portable Document Format and WordPad files, as well as a sprinkling of image files in JPEG, BMP and GIF formats. Also scattered into the mix were some Windows Media Video files and a few mapping software files from MapInfo.
With Quick View Plus, it was a breeze to view this wide array of files. Browsing through the thousand files was a bit of a trip down memory lane, as I reviewed old notes and stories. Most files took less than a second to appear in the Quick View Plus window. All forms of Microsoft Office — PowerPoint, Excel and Word — displayed almost instantly. Each page showed up as a separate image. Quick View Plus even showed the edits that my editor had made to my stories from 2002 when GCN used a customized version of Word that showed editor notes, additions and deletions.
It handled PDFs and image formats easily, except for one: a computer graphic metafile with a CGM extension, which came out as a series of colored streaks. A 4M PowerPoint presentation took a little more than a second to open, but that was the slowest speed I found. Everything showed up in sharp, crisp resolution. A full-color seal of the state of California, left over from when I covered state and local government information technology, was print quality. Quick View Plus even lets you rotate image files in 90-degree increments.
I was especially impressed at how well it handled Excel spreadsheets, keeping the same field delineation and not throwing the spacing off like many translation programs do. Quick View Plus also worked with some assorted whiteboard software I had left on the laptop from a roundup review of whiteboards last year.
Part of the beauty of Quick View Plus is that it isn't translating anything; it just lets you view it, so nothing gets changed. Editing capabilities are minimal. You can perform some very basic cutting and pasting tasks, but that's about it. By double clicking on the file, you can launch the application used to create it and do serious editing. It doesn't strip out hyperlinked Web sites either, keeping them a familiar underlined blue.
It couldn't handle video files or mapping-software files, but then again, Quick View Plus' literature didn't say it could. Quick View Plus did view some graphically intensive JPEG maps I had downloaded for a story about crime mapping though. It couldn't open any .dll files or executable files, but it did show a page saying what they were.
You can also integrate Quick View Plus with Microsoft, Mozilla or Netscape browsers, so you can view files within those browser windows. It also offers a feature that lets you create Zip files from a viewed file and also automatically compresses attached files when sent or saved in Outlook and Lotus Notes clients.
It runs on Windows Vista, XP and 2000. Quick View Plus can transfer data between Windows, Macintosh and DOS word processing and presentation programs, so it gives a shout-out to anyone needing access to DOS.
For $49, you can view more than 300 Windows, Macintosh, Internet and DOS formats. Sometimes you just need to view information, say, that comes as an e-mail attachment. This is also a security benefit, because you can view an attachment before you click to download it, potentially sparing you a bad virus. You can save your money for the software you need for intensive work and use Quick View Plus to view the rest. I'm glad Avantstar gave me a Quick View Plus license with no expiration date because spring is in the air and I want to do a thorough sweep of my drives.

3) Check to see if the mount point is working. If it is, skip step 4. To check, type in: ls /cifs-mount/ If nothing is listed, or you get an error, you probably need to do step 4. Run this (#3) twice though, because the network is sometimes slow.
4) To get access to the share drive from the libcontent Linux server, run: mount -t cifs -o username=jlderidder,domain=lib //libfs1.lib.ua-net.ua.edu/share/Digital\ Projects/ /cifs-mount and type in your password to the share drive. (substitute your own username there in the line above)
1) look through the directories in /srv/deposits/content for anomalies, badly named things, and new categories -- any which are not listed on http://libcontent.lib.ua.edu/lockss/Manifest.html ( this manifest is in /srv/www/htdocs/lockss/). Anomalies might be directories which do NOT match the expected structure (Admin, Metadata, Scans, Transcripts) or subfolder structure beneath them; spaces in filenames or directories, etc. Report any problems to Digital Services staff and arrange for corrections before proceeding further
2) copy any *ocrList.txt files in Admin directory to /srv/deposits/ocrMe for separate processing
3) RUN testDeposits (in /srv/scripts/qc; script available here: File:TestDeposits.txt) and look at the output for problems. If this script runs across subdirectories named "Box" or "Folder" then it will spit out an error and tell you to run testBoxFolder (File:TestBoxFolder.txt) instead. This is for collections that are digitized without item-level metadata, with box and folder information in the filename to assist in linking from the correct part of the EAD. So if you get this message, run testBoxFolder on the specified collection(s) and look at the output for any problems.
4) RUN waitCheck ( in /srv/scripts/storing/). This will check to see if any of the deposited collections have been harvested by LOCKSS partners. If so, this content may need to be held and staged for processing. The script will ask if you want to proceed with depositing those collections. If you indicate yes, it will back up the manifest with a datestamp and LOCKSS in the file name, which will ensure that we capture the sizes of each version of manifest separately. The size of our preservation content impacts the cost of our participation in LOCKSS.
1) a) open /srv/scripts/storing/relocating (script available here: File:Relocating.txt) and set $test = 1. b) Remove the file /srv/scripts/storing/RelocateManifests c) run "relocating > look". It will: i) list the files it's going to move, from where and to where in "moveme" ii) write the new manifests into RelocateManifests so you can see what they're going to look like iii) write the parent manifests to parentMans, so you can see what they're going to look like iv) write errors to "look" file, as well as other info d) Look at the output in the "look" file, and the manifests concatenated in RelocateManifests and parentMans.
2) Make whatever repairs are necessary for script to work. If there are any new categories (z0004?), then add them, and create top level manifests in those category directories (copy from like directories and modify to fit).
3) Open /srv/scripts/storing/relocating and edit out the line $test = 1;
4) delete nohup.out. 5) run "nohup relocating" -- this time for real. It will take hours; "nohup" keeps it running even if you disconnect. The output will be written to "nohup.out" -- check it occasionally, and the archive directory for errors. This time it's really copying files into the correct location in the archive (making a note of what goes where in 'moveme2' for the 'checkem2" script in a few steps), and it versions metadata and xml files, and it links versioned files and tiffs and wave files into the correct manifests, and links in new collections to the manifest pages of the holders (the next directory up from collections, such as u0003 for all Hoole Manuscript content).
1) If the output tells you to modify or create manifests, do that next (if not done already) in top level of /srv/www/htdocs/lockss directory The script does NOT create the top 2 levels of manifests, as it does not have sufficient information about new categories to fill this in.
2) check links at http://libcontent.lib.ua.edu/lockss/Manifest.html -- drill down. If you cannot access it, modify the .htaccess file in /srv/www/htdocs/lockss to allow your IP, and restart the apache web server: '/usr/sbin/apache2ctl restart' (be sure to change it back, and then restart the web server)
3) then run 'checkem2 > look' in /srv/scripts/storing (script available here: File:Checkem.txt) -- it will use the "moveme2" file to verify md5 sums of content that was moved, and delete from the deposits directory if there's a match. If there's NOT a match, it will output "ERROR: " and the error. So look through the "look file" for problems. Again, if there's a lot of content, precede this command with "nohup " and then look later in the nohup.out file for the content that normally would go into "look". 4) run checkArchive (script available here; File:CheckArchive.txt) and look at ArchiveERRORS; make repairs. If needed, alter and run doubleCheck to make sure things were copied over; checkMans to check that what's linked in the Manifest actually copied; addToMans to add content that was moved but not written to the Manifest. Problems occur especially when the server goes down during a transfer. Especially be aware that dozens of tiffs may have been copying when it went down, meaning multiple images are corrupted or damaged.
5) do a "chown -R jeremiah:archive" to correct permissions and do a "chmod -R 775 /srv/archive" to protect the archive from unauthorized alteration until next time.
6) then go look in the /srv/deposits directory, make sure folders are clean, and delete them. I do this: ls /srv/deposits/content/* ls /srv/deposits/content/*/* ls /srv/deposits/content/*/*/* ls /srv/deposits/content/*/*/*/* if you find content, there's a problem. Solve it!! It may be necessary to rename things and go back through steps 13 on again. if no content: rm -r /srv/deposits/content/* (this will recursively delete all content in the directory) 7) run ocrSelected (File:OcrSelected.txt) in /srv/scripts/surfacing. This will go through the *ocrList files in /srv/deposits/ocrMe, select out the items marked with a "1" -- locate the tiffs, create OCR files, create directories for them, and place them live in the content directory where they belong.
8) check results, and delete files in /srv/deposits/ocrMe

SANFORD — After dropping consecutive games to Marshwood and Scarborough last week, the Sanford High boys basketball team badly needed a win over Windham there Tuesday night, and they got it, thanks to a dominant third quarter that saw them outscore the Eagles 13-4. When it was over Sanford came away with a 52-49 victory to improve to 7-8 at the time.
Windham led 14-12 after one quarter of play but Sanford tied it 22-22 at the half before embarking on their strong third quarter that propelled them to a 35-26 lead. Windham rallied in the fourth quarter but the Spartan defense enabled them to hang on for the win.
Ryan Camire led the scoring with 21 points followed by John Morgan and Brandon Stanton with 10 points each.
Other Sanford scorers included Evyn Nolette with six points, Alex Shain with three and Josh Schroder with two. In addition, Shain had seven rebounds, 10 assists and four steals while Camire had six rebounds.
Sanford will host Biddeford at 7 p.m. on Friday.
TheSpartans got off to a slow start in their game with Scarborough here Friday, but battled back to narrow Scarborough's lead at the half. The Red Storm got back on track in the second half, however, outscoring the locals 34-23 to take a 70-55 win.
A Camire basket at the start of the third quarter cut Scarborough's lead to two, 36-34, but that would be as close as Sanford would get as the visitors went on an 8-0 run to move in front 44-34. Sanford battled back with baskets by Camire, Josh Schroder, Alex Shain and Malik Romero to narrow Scarborough's lead to 47-43 late in the quarter, but the Spartans were unable to keep pace with Scarborough the rest of the way.
Ryan Camire scored 20 points for Sanford followed by Evyn Nolette who tossed in four 3-pointers for a total of 12 points. Josh Schroder was next with nine points followed by John Morgan with six and Romero, Shain, Brandon Stanton and Chase Smith-Roberts with two points each.
Shain pulled down seven rebounds followed by Camire with six and Morgan with five. Shain also led in steals with four.
After Friday's game with Biddeford, the remaining two games of the regular season will be against nearby rivals Noble and Massabesic. They will host Noble at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, February 5, and travel to Massabesic on Friday, February 8.

There are many holidays that come around each year where people like to go "all out" and celebrate. In December, we see Christmas lights strung out all over some houses, beautifully decorated trees that catch your eye through the windows and folks dressing up for those Christmas parties.
As the holiday approaches, we only tend to see and hear of the celebratory side of it but there is a lot more to it that doesn't cross most people's minds. As of Nov. 22, there have been 734 traffic related fatalities in our state. For example: Twelve people were killed while on bicycles, 97 were pedestrians, 96 were on motorcycles and 253 of them were people that chose not to buckle up. In reality, some of you will drive, ride a motorcycle/bicycle or walk around during the festivities and not really worry about how you are getting home after consuming alcohol. Everything in life has a beginning and an end, and without a plan in place, the end will come a lot quicker. We all spend days contemplating on where we want to go, what we are going to wear and who we want to go with to celebrate, but we should always include a "How Am I Going To Get Home Plan" before we leave to head out. Trust me, if you can have a plan in place and celebrate responsibly (make sure that your friends do too), then you will all be very thankful because you didn't end up getting arrested, taking someone's life or even your own. The South Carolina Highway Patrol takes driving under the influence very seriously. Our job is to make sure that the roadways are safe for everyone, but you too have intricate part to play in reducing collisions and fatalities. One way that you can help is not putting yourself or forbidding anyone else to get behind the wheel if you've had too much to drink. Another is to call *HP if you suspect a drunk driver's on the roadway with you or you want to report something that causes a concern. We can all help save lives by doing our part and working together.
I hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, but there are a lot of upcoming Christmas parties that we need to be cognizant about. Be careful and be safe!
If you would like a trooper to speak at your school, business, civic group, and church or for more information, please visit our website at www.SCHP.org.
Until next time, don't be ejected from life. Buckle up.

Karim Bagheri, the Iranian football star, has decided to leave the Bundesliga and join the UAE's al Nasr club.
Bagheri (26), who completed the loan deal for 4 months, will get $250,000 and a monthly wage of $10,000, al Wifaq daily reports. The Iranian midfielder left his German club Arminia Bilefeld and returned to his first club Piruozi Tehran. Now, Piruozi agreed to free him to play in the UAE.
The reason Bagheri left Germany was his wife's difficulties in adjusting to life in Germany. After signing with his new club, Bagheri said he was happy to play in the UAE, where a large Iranian community lives.
Upon arriving in the Dubai airport, he mentioned that before signing in al Nasr (now 4th in the league), he received many offers from regional and foreign clubs. He preferred al Nasr, mainly because of the coach, the German Rainer Hulman. Bagheri will replace the disappointing Brazilain De Silva.

The higher education landscape has changed dramatically, both in Iowa and throughout the nation. As leaders in higher education, we have a responsibility to our students, their parents and taxpayers of Iowa to maintain our excellent academic reputation, enhance access and affordability, and prepare for the future. In times like these, we must define our future before circumstances dictate it for us.
Changes have been made during the past few years to prepare us for the future. Unfortunately, those changes were not enough. We continue to need to make strategic budget decisions by reallocating and aligning resources to support our core mission and values.
Academic and non-academic programs, support services, and outsourcing opportunities are being reviewed. Malcolm Price Lab School, the UNI Museum, Panther Athletics and UNI Print Services are included in this review. We will announce academic program mergers and closures. The academic programs are those with low enrollment and few graduates. Students enrolled in those programs will be allowed to finish their programs.
We are working with the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, and consulting with applicable stakeholders, to make changes now to ensure the educational experience we want for every student exists in the future. Making difficult decisions today will help ensure that we continue our tradition of excellence. We believe these decisions will result in an institution that retains and builds on its historic strengths, while aligning us for future success in a challenging and competitive education environment.
Thank you for your confidence and support.

Don't be fooled - the "court challenge" to NIWA's temperature records is very little to do with the law and a lot to do with getting your attention.
It's no secret that I harbour a deep skepticism about the claims, motivations and tactics of those who would deny that anthropocentric global warming/man-made climate change is taking place. See, for instance, the (somewhat heated) comments thread to this Pundit post.
With that declaration of interest on the table, I think the legal basis for the announced court action against the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research is (to use a technical term) baloney. And I'm pretty sure the folks behind the claim know it too.
First up, there's the small matter of who the claim technically is being brought by. It's in the name of "The New Zealand Climate Science Education Trust", which has only been in existence for a week. Now, the only reason I can think of to set up a charitable trust and then use it as a vehicle to run a court case is to avoid liability for costs should a court decide to award them against you when you lose. In other words, it's hardly a move that screams confidence (not to mention the small ethical matter of the claimants seeking to avoid any potential liability to the taxpayer for the money that will be spent in opposing their little piece of theatre).
Second, on Radio New Zealand this morning the claimant's spokesperson stated that the legal action was being funded and run by members of the "Climate Science Coalition", as one of its members (Barry Brill, actually its chair) is a lawyer. Putting to one side the proverb "he who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client", the fact that the claimants are going up against the full legal resources of a Crown entity without bothering to engage the services of a specialist public lawyer indicates either supreme confidence in one's case or else a reluctance to waste good money on a hopeless cause.
Third, the statement of claim (or, at least the statement of claim as it is presented here) is very long on rhetoric and accusations and very short on legal analysis. It begins by alleging that:
NIWA has statutory duties to undertake climate research efficiently and effectively for the benefit of NZ, pursuing excellence and observing ethical standards, while maintaining full and accurate records.
As far as I can make out (because there are no particulars stated), this (sort of) mixes and matches the principles of operation imposed on NIWA by the Crown Research Institutes Act 1992 with obligations from the Public Records Act 2005. But given that the alleged failures complained of stretch back to 1999, it's difficult to see how the latter legislation is relevant to the failure to record decisions taken at that time. And while the former principles apply in a general sense to NIWA's activities, trying to show that any particular research programme or exercise of judgment in the course of conducting a research programme breaches them will be next to impossible. It requires a court to adjudicate upon matters of scientific expertise in which courts simply are not competent. It would be like asking the scientists at NIWA to pass judgment on whether the court's decision in Re: A.M.M. and K.J.O. was an appropriate judicial use of the interpretative provision in section 6 of the NZBORA.
Finally, there's this little comment by one of those behind the court action, Richard Treadgold:
Yes, finally [the Main Stream Media are paying attention]. It's good, isn't it? More people will hear of the existence of a contrary view. Of course, we must remember that this action is about the NZ temperature record (NZTR) and not anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
Still, it's a step forward, it will give support to climate realists everywhere and we can move on to AGW itself when this little matter is settled. We can hardly discuss the facts of global warming if warming itself is not accurately established.
I'm well aware that litigation and public relations strategies often go hand in hand, and that many times court cases simply are politics by another means. Nevertheless, I still think this is pretty revelatory of the reasoning behind the decision to go to court. Those behind it have been banging on about the alleged NIWA malfeasance for months now. They have convinced various ACT MPs to raise questions in the House. They have issued numerous press releases. And yet their efforts have received scant attention in that much-maligned (but still adoringly pursued) "MSM".
The reason for that indifference seems pretty obvious to me. For one thing, the details of the wrongs that NIWA is alleged to have committed are horribly complicated. But for another, for the critics to be correct in their assertions you need to believe that not only is an entire government department involved in blatantly lying to the public so as to extort more funding for its activities, but that (at least) two National Party Ministers are complicit in covering up that fact. Exactly why they would wish to do so rather than expose massive incompetence and/or malfeasance that took place under the watch of the previous government is then difficult to explain: either they must be complete dolts who both have had the wool pulled over their eyes, or they must be fellow-travelers in the global conspiracy to enslave humanity through the AGW lie.
That's a hard line to sell. But now, with the announcement of court action, there's a new narrative: "NIWA accused of acting unlawfully". Exactly how or why it has done so, and why the Ministers in charge have ignored the matter, largely becomes irrelevant as the story is reframed as "there must be something the matter with what NIWA did or else it wouldn't be going to court."
(At least, that's how some people have chosen, with a faux-wide eyed innocence, to interpret the matter - almost as if they "obviously didn't think to apply a critical eye to the claims of lobby groups" before cutting-and-pasting at length from a NZPA story on the matter ...)
So in a sense the legal action already is a win, irrespective of what happens when a judge takes a look at it. The fact that it made Morning Report, the pages of many of the country's newspapers and a bunch of the more prominent blog sites (as well as this pretty obscure one) is success in and of itself.
Which is, as I say, all that I think those behind the action really expect to get out of it. Because I'm pretty sure they won't find a receptive ear to their complaints on the bench.

Class S: Newsome, Ansonia rout Hyde
MIDDLETOWN -- The Ansonia offense is used to scoring at will, but Sunday afternoon the Chargers had to first exercise a little patience.
After twice turning the ball over on downs inside the Hyde Leadership 10-yard line, junior Arkeel Newsome finally found the end zone and the defending Class S champions dominated from there in a 41-13 victory over the Howling Wolves in the semifinals at Middletown High School.
Newsome led Ansonia (13-0) with 215 yards and four touchdowns on 14 carries, breaking former Charger Alex Thomas' career state touchdown record (114) with a 69-yard score on the first play of the second half. Newsome enters Saturday's championship game -- where Ansonia will chase its state-best 18th title -- against North Branford at Rentschler Field with 116 career touchdowns.
"It was a little frustrating (not scoring early), but we kept our composure and still kept coming out and playing hard," said Newsome, who has 32 touchdowns for the season. "(Once we scored) it gave us some juice and some good intensity."
The Ansonia defense was intense from the opening play. The Howling Wolves (10-2) started their first drive at their 20-yard line and lost 16 yards on three plays before punting. On the second drive, which started at their 5, they gained one yard on three plays before punting again.
But the Chargers, who average close to 49 points a game, failed to convert either stop into points despite beginning drives inside the Hyde 20.
"I was like, `dang, they stopped us,' " Ansonia senior lineman Jh'mel Trammell said. "I was like `we have to come back and pick it up.' "
The offense did, starting with Newsome's 26-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds left in the first quarter. The 5-foot-8 tailback added a 14-yard touchdown run at 9:38 of the second quarter and Jai'quan McKnight tossed a 24-yard touchdown pass to Raeshaun Finney in the corner of the end zone to make it 21-0 at the half.
Newsome had 88 yards on 11 carries at halftime while Hyde had just eight yards of total offense. On their first four offensive series combined, the Howling Wolves' longest gain was when Ansonia was called for a 5-yard facemask penalty.
"They really just outmuscled us at the end of the day," Hyde coach Melvin Wells said. "They were just stronger than we were as a team and when you can't match up strength man for man there's going to be seams, and that's what happened."
Newsome zapped any plans Hyde might have had for a second-half comeback on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, breaking loose down the left sideline for a record-setting 69-yard touchdown run. Arthur Kwaskiewicz missed his only extra point after the touchdown, but Ansonia led 27-0. On the second play of the Chargers' following series, Newsome broke free down the right sideline for a 58-yard touchdown and a 34-0 lead.
Quarterback Kevin Jones scored on a 1-yard run with 2:17 left in the third quarter to end Ansonia's shutout. Andrew Matos capped the Chargers' scoring with a 3-yard, second-effort touchdown run at 11:06 of the fourth quarter to make it 41-6. Marcus Rodgers added a late score for Hyde on a 6-yard run.
"(After the early failures) we got going on offense and we didn't punt all day," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said.

Galaxy Note II Gets Verizon-Branded Home Button; Are Carriers Going Too Far?
It's difficult to think of anyone other than a cellular network executive who might think that carrier branding all over our nice, new smartphones is anything even remotely resembling a good thing. Most of us put up with it without making too much of a fuss, but at the same time, we'd likely choose an unadorned option if it was readily available. Just look at how excited we got when we heard rumors (ultimately proved false) that Nokia might not allow such badging on its new Lumia models. Sometimes, though, carriers try to push the boundaries of what we'll permit them to get away with, and we've got a feeling that's the case with the Samsung Galaxy Note II as it's coming to Verizon.
We just showed you the T-Mobile version of the Note II, which has a tasteful T-Mobile logo around back; there's nothing on the phone's face but Samsung's logo. Apparently that sort of discretion wasn't what Verizon was interested in, as photos of the carrier's Note II variant show a Verizon logo smack dab in the middle of the phone's home button.
This may be the first time we've seen something like this, which might be partially due to how few hardware home buttons we get in the States. What do you think, is this the pinnacle of tackiness, or are we just making a bit stink over nothing?

Other clashes on the opening weekend include Heineken Cup Pool 2 sides Edinburgh and Cardiff Blues meeting at Murrayfield, Treviso hosting Connacht, Glasgow Warriors travelling to Ravenhill to face Ulster and the Scarlets taking on Aironi at Parc y Scarlets.
The competition will continue during the Rugby World Cup, but there is a two-week hiatus planned after round six.

We know about the deferred execution or lazy evaluation features introduced in C#. But at times, people become confused with them. Because there is no significant difference. You can only know if you know the internals. Shouldn't there be a syntactical difference between them to remove confusion?
I think the keyword
let of F# can be imported to C# to specify the lazy evaluations. Like-
let selectedItems = Items.Where(i => i.Count < 5);
What do you guys think?
In reply to the first answer, I am not proposing that the
let keyword is to be used in the places where the lazy evaluation is already happening according to the present compiling model. Then it will be of no use actually. I am proposing that the
let keyword should define the type of execution. To be clear-
var selectedItems = Items.Where(i => i.Count < 5).ToList();
will be executed eagerly by present model. But my proposal is, if we use
let selectedItems = Items.Where(i => i.Count < 5).ToList();
it will be executed later, just when required. Though this is not desirable as it will return different lists of same items each time. The 'thing' defined with
let keyword can be thought of a constant 'expression' like F#.
Update 2:
Linking this SO answer as a proof of people's annoyance with deferred execution-

Baylor sophomore C Isaiah Austin declares for NBA draft
Baylor sophomore center Isaiah Austin has decided to forgo the remainder of his collegiate eligibility to enter the NBA draft.
The 7-foot-1 Austin, who has a prosthetic right eye, averaged 12.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in his 73 games the past two seasons with the Bears.
Bears coach Scott Drew made the announcement Tuesday, five days before the early entry deadline and just more than a month after Baylor went the NCAA Sweet 16.
Austin might have been a first-round NBA pick after his freshman season last summer, but couldn't do pre-draft workouts because of a torn labrum in his shoulder.
NBA scouts at Baylor games this season said they already knew about Austin's eye issue before the player revealed his blindness publicly in January.

French filmmaker Richard Fabrice's short film "lamborghini" is three minutes of utter magnificence and no, it's not because of the scantily-clad young lady writhing on a Miura SV's trunk in a thoroughly European wedding dress.
The reality is it's got great music, a lovely analog look, prodigious shots of a Lamborghini Miura SV, a guy who changes from a tux into a racing suit and sings in a mumbling baritone while driving—and all this is interspersed with Group B rally footage. Including heavy crashes. And Formula 1 crashes too!
WTF, right? But WTF in a most excellent way.

Dobredojde! Welcome to our expat community in Skopje, capital city of Macedonia! Whether you're relocating to this quirky Balkan city for business opportunities, family reasons, or simply in search of new experiences, InterNations is here to help you to make connections and maneuver through the various challenges you may initially face. Our platform allows you to interact with expats living and working in Skopje and discover the answers to key questions such as the cost living in the city, political sensitivities to be aware of in Macedonia, and what to expect from business etiquette in Skopje. Our community is driven by the shared experiences of our members, so we hope you'll contribute your own insights about living in Skopje when you join InterNations. With a complex, culturally diverse history and an abundance of modern developments, Skopje is one of Europe's most fascinating cities.

Where else but in Skopje could you expect to see majestic Ottoman temples sitting alongside ornate neo-classical depictions of Alexander the Great and Philip of Macedonia cast in bronze? The capital city of this small Balkan republic has undergone a striking 21st century makeover, transforming it into an ostentatious tourist attraction with a strong sense of history. A former state of Yugoslavia, Macedonia owes its unique cultural blend to centuries of occupation by various world powers — from the Ancient Greeks to the Romans to the Ottoman Empire. Nowhere is this more apparent than when strolling through the streets of Skopje. An increasingly modern and cosmopolitan city, Skopje attracts much foreign investment through key industries such as banking, telecommunications, services, and food processing, with tourism and education also bringing many expats to the city. The sheer diversity on display here, combined with good-humored and friendly locals and a relatively high standard of living marks Skopje as a city with an international profile very much on the rise.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities across the globe. Get to know fellow internationals in your city, before you're moving, or when traveling somewhere and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Vienna or Jakarta, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
Relocating to a new city can be a highly stressful experience, so here at InterNations we're dedicated to making the transition as smooth as possible. When you join InterNations, you can look forward to interacting with numerous fellow Skopje expats in a secure and welcoming environment. Feel free to share any questions or concerns you might have about life in the Macedonian capital — from practicalities such as the best districts to buy or rent an apartment, obtaining a work visa and enrolling your children in an international school, to finding out about social events and activities such as taking a cooking class, joining a local gym, or simply meeting fellow expats for coffee. InterNations also runs regular events where you can mingle with fellow members during a fun and relaxing evening with a friendly atmosphere and the chance to sample a range of delicious local food and drinks.

Understanding armed groups and the applicable law
IRRC No. 882
Armed groups play a central role in conflicts today and are associated with many of the humanitarian concerns generated by conflicts. Political and humanitarian players intent on promoting respect for the rights of conflict victims must set aside resources to study and understand armed groups, grasp the law that applies to them, and assess its limits. To this end, a pragmatic approach may be necessary, taking the perspective of armed groups into consideration rather than seeing them merely as an anomaly in an international system designed by and for States.
Table of contents
Editorial: Understanding armed groups and the applicable law
The new Editorial Board of the International Review of the Red Cross
The editorial team of the Review has the privilege to introduce the new Editorial Board of the Journal. The Board was formed this year and met for the first time in Geneva in May 2011. It is composed of experts in multiple disciplines and from diverse geographical backgrounds.
Interview with Ali Ahmad Jalali
For this issue on understanding armed groups, the Review considered it important to invite someone who could give the inside perspective of an armed group. Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali, currently Distinguished Professor at the National Defense University in Washington, DC, is uniquely placed to do so in the context of Afghanistan.
Armed groups and intra-state conflicts: the dawn of a new era?
Have the various profound changes that have affected the world, and particularly its geostrategic dimensions, since the end of the ColdWar radically altered the nature of conflicts? Twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union and ten years after the destruction of the twin towers in New York, there is an apparent degree of continuity in the resilience of former centres of unresolved conflicts and of armed groups involved in them.
Armed groups'organizational structure and their strategic options
The organizational structures of armed groups, whether they develop by accident or by design, affect their strategic choices during the conflict and their ability to enter peace agreements.
Economic dimensions of armed groups: profiling the financing, costs, and agendas and their implications for mediated engagements
This article introduces the various economic dimensions of armed groups and explores the implications of their engagement through mediation and dialogue.
Reasons why armed groups choose to respect international humanitarian law or not
The decision to respect the law – or not – is far from automatic, regardless of whether it is taken by an armed group or a state. Respect for IHL can only be encouraged, and hence improved, if the reasons used by armed groups to justify respect or lack of it are understood.
International law: armed groups in a state-centric system
What is the position of non-state armed groups in public international law, a system conceived for and by states? This article considers the question, mainly in the light of jus ad bellum and jus in bello.
Understanding armed groups and the applicable law: photo gallery
This selection of photos aims to illustrate the activities and characteristics of armed groups across different historical and geographical contexts. It was compiled by the Review with the support of the ICRC Library and Archives services.
Debate: Should the obligations of states and armed groups under international humanitarian law really be equal?
Debate: Should the obligations of states and armed groups under international humanitarian law really be equal?
Debate: The move to substantive equality in international humanitarian law: a rejoinder to Marco Sassòli and Yuval Shany
By introducing a new 'debate' section, the Review hopes to contribute to the reflection on current ethical, legal, or practical controversies around humanitarian issues. This section will expose readers to the key arguments concerning a particular contemporary question of humanitarian law or humanitarian action.
The applicability of international humanitarian law to organized armed groups
While it is generally accepted today that IHL is binding on organized armed groups, it is less clear why that is so and how the binding force of IHL on organized armed groups is to be construed.
Lessons for the law of armed conflict from commitments of armed groups: identification of legitimate targets and prisoners of war
Armed groups frequently issue ad hoc commitments that contain a law of armed conflict component. These commitments detail the obligation of the relevant armed group to abide by international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, or particular rules set out in the commitment.
A collection of codes of conduct issued by armed groups
This issue of the International Review of the Red Cross addresses the importance of understanding armed groups and the norms by which they are bound. One way of gaining insight into armed groups and engaging with them on improving respect for the law is to examine the rules and decisions that they choose to adopt.
Confronting Duch: civil party participation in Case 001 at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) is unique because it is the first international criminal tribunal to allow victims of alleged crimes to act as civil parties at trial. This means that victims can have a role at the ECCC beyond being called as witnesses.
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) policy on torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment inflicted on persons deprived of their liberty
Policy adopted by the Council of the Assembly on 9 June 2011

In between, David Akers booted two field goals and Frank Gore turned a Dashon Goldson interception into a 1-yard scoring plunge for the 49ers (2-0).
Smith finished 20-of-31 through the air 226 yards and wasn't picked off, while Davis made five grabs for 75 yards.
Gore racked up 89 yards on 17 carries.
Jason Hanson kicked four field goals for the Lions (1-1).
Detroit signal-caller Matthew Stafford completed 19-of-32 passes for 230 yards with one fourth-quarter TD and one interception.

JayC3 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 31 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Indivisual Consulting, LLC
Indivisual Consulting, LLC is developing a book of Social Stories for children with Autism and related disorders. These stories will feature either the boy character and or the girl character in each of these stories. Examples of some of the things we teach are daily living skills (such as hygiene tasks) and social skills (such as how to start a conversation).
We target parents, caregivers, schools, and organizations serving individuals with Autism and other developmental disabilities.
We are looking for one boy and one girl character to be the main characters used in all of our products. For an example of the type of characters we are looking for, please see the UPDATED attached file.
We would like interested designers to submit one FEMALE character and one MALE character for consideration (preferably wearing Red/Black clothing to match our logo and website colors). We want the characters to be a bit more dynamic than the ones attached with more life-like features. We would like the characters to be able to be used for any ethnic background.
Once the winning designs are chosen, this would be an ongoing project to create around 100 additional designs using these same characters (for example: I would need them engaging in activities such as teeth brushing, reading a book, etc.)
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the requirements for this project. Thank you for looking!
IMPORTANT: Each character must be in its own file with a transparent background for use in many areas of the stories.

Another member of the beet family that is often associated with beetroots is chard. Also known as Swiss chard, leaf beet, spinach beet, silver beet, seakale beet, spinach beet or white beet, this plant grows up instead of down, so it produces broad leaves rather than a bulbous root. The leaves are sought for their tender texture and mild flavor. The leaf and stalk can be eaten raw or the leaves can be prepared in the same manner as spinach and the stalks can be prepared like asparagus.
The typical round garden beet is sold fresh or canned and can be used in a number of ways. The beet root can be eaten raw as well as baked, boiled, steamed, sautéed, or stewed to be served as a side dish or added to soups. Beets can also be pickled and used as a condiment. Both the root and the greens can be used as an ingredient in a variety of salad dishes. Or beets can be grated and added to salads and to garnish soups.
When selecting, choose beets that are small to medium size (1 to 2 inches in diameter), nicely developed and do not look dried or cracked in appearance. Beet shoots with leaves that are to be eaten should be fresh looking, containing leaves that are dark to bright green and not shriveled. When preparing beets to be cooked, wash the beet gently prior to cooking, keep a short amount of stem on the beet, and to retain the nutrients and color do not peel the tender skin until after they are cooked, either by boiling the beets in water or by wrapping the beets in foil and roasting in an oven at 375ºF. Beets can be easily peeled while they are warm. An easy way to remove the skin is to wear rubber gloves, using the rubber gripping action of the material to peel the skin away from the beet. The gloves also protect the hands from becoming stained from the beet juices. Beet shoots and leaves should also be washed thoroughly to remove dirt and particles. Another way to retain or alter the color of the beets when cooking is to add an acidic ingredient such as a little lemon juice or vinegar to the water, which will make the color of the beet look brighter. Adding an alkaline ingredient such as baking soda deepens the color of the beet flesh. When storing fresh beets or their greens, do not wash prior to storing. Trim the green stalks to 1 or 2 inches in length and place the round bulbous root in the refrigerator crisper. Fresh beetroots can be kept for 2 to 4 weeks before loosing their flavor. Fresh beet greens should be placed in plastic containers or bags that allow some air to enter where they can be kept for 4 to 6 days. Fresh beets do not freeze well, however cooked beets can be frozen to be stored for future use.
