Beaumont/Port Arthur
Former Beaumont City Councilwoman Bobbie J. Patterson is now spearheading a drive she calls "Operation One Vote," which is an outreach mission encouraging citizens to register to vote and to actually go to the polls and cast a ballot in coming elections.
In conjunction with a host of other entities, the group is sponsoring a "Meet-the-Candidates Forum & Voter Registration Drive," which is scheduled for Thursday, April 7, at 7 p.m. at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Hall located at 3390 Sarah Street in Beaumont.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Marvel Studios has a new poster for The Avengers out this morning, joining the seven-member superhero team in a bit of comic book chaos on the streets of New York.
Along with the full image, EW has exclusive interviews about what the
Joss Whedon written-and-directed film does with this crew of iconic
characters. Tomorrow, a new trailer for the film — out May 4 — will
debut online.
For now, we kick off with the man who launched the whole franchise nearly four years ago.
You know the one. He's encased in iron…
Remember, The Avengers is a team movie — and there's no "I" in team.
There is, however, an "I" in Iron Man, and since we probably
wouldn't have this movie if it weren't for the charisma that Robert
Downey Jr. brought to the original 2008 movie, it's fitting that Downey
lands at center stage in the new poster.
Here we zoom in for a close-up, but the full poster (which you can
see at the end of this gallery) shows off Tony Stark's new look, which
Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirms will be "a gadget-laden" Mark 7
"I'm still trying to, without moving backwards, remember the character that [Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director] Jon Favreau and I created, and be true to that," Downey tells EW.
It's also important to be true to the original Marvel Comics history,
but Downey acknowledges that they've had to streamline their vision
over the years as the possibility of this movie loomed.
"Avengers has always been this kind of hovering [thing]. Is
it really possible? I just think that it was an incredibly ambitious
notion, and looking back at Marvel and their fledgling years, they
always had a vision of this … although not entirely accurately."
Downey laughs: "In one teaser I say, 'I'm putting a team together,'
and in the other one I'm like, 'What do you mean I can't join the team?'
But aside from that, it kind of really tracks through."

I recently celebrated my 4th Anniversary. We didn't do anything huge since we're going to Disney World later in the year, but we had a nice weekend away in the Mystic, CT area. We did some gambling at Mohegan Sun, did a little shopping and of course had a dinner and a movie date night. We did this two years ago and enjoyed it so much that we decided to do it again this year. On that first trip, I picked up a cool Red Sox wool pennant. I picked up some cool goodies on this trip as well.
Mystic, CT is home of the Mystic Pizza restaurant made famous in the movie Mystic Pizza. This original location was too small inside for filming, but the outside was used for the front of the restaurant in the movie. The interior shots were filmed in the Mystic Pizza location in Stonington. I added to two of my collections at Mystic Pizza. I picked up a new pin for my pin board and pressed two pennies. I was caught off guard and didn't have enough change to press the third penny that was available.
I picked up a couple of other pins in a general store in Olde Mistick Village. I've already got logo pins of both the Sox and Pats, but these were very nice and the price was right so I added them to the collection. The pin board is now here, but I need to purchase something sturdy to hang it with. Once that's done, I'll get some pictures of it up on the blog. After this upcoming Disney trip, I may need a second board.
There's also a shop in Olde Mistick Village that sells sports stuff. A lot of the stuff there is overpriced since the store is in a touristy shopping area in a touristy town, but I did find something that I really wanted.
This Red Sox glass switch plate cover looks great in the room and will look even better once I touch up the paint a little. I've got some Red Sox items in the room and the Celtics will be well represented, but I think I'll have to search out some Patriots stuff (retro logo only, no ugly flying Elvis head logo) for the room as well.
Last, but not least was an oddball item that I had to pick up for myself. My mother-in-law had given me the Red Sox version of this a couple of years ago for Christmas and it was a fun little gift. When I saw the Celtics version, it had to be mine.
Here you can see Kevin McHale, Larry Legend, The Chief, Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Reggie Lewis, Red Auerbach, Pierce and Dee Brown. There's three cards right into player collections and a bunch of other fun caricature cards. I love this kind of oddball stuff.

We then examined the nature of the glycosyl chain more closely by enzymatic digestion. Endoglycosidase H (EndoH) cleaves all N-linked carbohydrate chains normally occurring in the ER between the two innermost GlcNAc residues, leading to very fast migration of the digested product. EndoH digestion was used to confirm that the isolated glycotripeptides contain typical N-linked carbohydrate chains ( Fig. 9C , pancreas and adrenal, lane E). In contrast, Jack bean α-mannosidase is an exomannosidase that cleaves only terminal α-linked mannoses. In dog pancreas-derived glycotripeptides, incubation with this enzyme led to a complete digestion down to the GlcNAc 2 βMan core ( Fig. 9C , pancreas, lane M). In contrast, when glycotripeptides derived from adrenal smooth microsomes were subjected to this digest ( Fig. 9C , adrenal, lane M), an additional spot with lower Rf value was seen. This partially resistant material presumably retains one or more of the terminal glucose residues that are initially present on the transferred N-glycosyl chain (Glc 3 Man 9 GlcNAc 2 ). This assumption was confirmed by comparison with glycotripeptides generated in the presence of castanospermine, a glucosidase inhibitor (data not shown). Thus, the slower migration of adrenal-derived material can be explained by a low activity of at least one glucosidase (I and/or II) in adrenal microsomes. If glucosidase II were preferentially affected, retention of monoglucosyl residues could result in more extended association with chaperones such as calnexin, abundant in the smooth microsomes, facilitating retention of glycosylated proteins in the SER ( 56 , 57 ).
Having found that the OST components formed a functional unit in adrenal smooth microsomes, we then sought to determine whether the SR and Sec61 complexes function in this setting. To determine SR activity, we took advantage of a previously developed photocross-linking assay in which one can assess SR activity by looking for a decrease in the amount of signal peptide-associated SRP54 ( 23 ). Truncated RNCs for 86pPL containing photocross-linker-modified lysines, were prepared in a reticulocyte lysate system. In absence of microsomal membranes a 62-kDa photoadduct formed representing the 86pPL signal peptide cross-linked to SRP 54 kDa ( 24 , 25 ). Addition of SR-containing dog rough microsomes reduces the intensity of the SRP cross-link due to the release of SRP from the nascent chain by SR present in the microsomal membranes ( 23 ). In this assay, adrenal smooth microsomes were capable of decreasing the intensity of the SRP cross-link, although not to the same extent as dog pancreatic microsomes ( Fig. 10A ). Because the levels of SRα are lower in adrenal smooth microsomes than in liver or pancreas rough microsomes, it is possible that some ribosome-nascent chain-SRP complexes interacted with SR-deficient Sec61 complexes and were therefore unable to release SRP.
In 2013, Disney set up a meeting with Hasbro, which already had Disney's Star Wars and Marvel licenses, and its FunLab ran regular tests for the company. Before each Star Wars movie, for example, Hasbro tested kids' familiarity with the franchise. They discovered that parents—"dads mostly," says Frascotti—passed down their love of Star Wars to their kids in the same way that they taught them which sports teams to root for. "We have a fancy term for it that we made up," says Frascotti. "We call it trans-generational emotional resonance." Disney liked Hasbro's FunLab reports. "They'd seen them work quite well for Star Wars and Marvel," says Goldner. "Then they asked us what we knew about girls."
Hasbro researchers found that girls—young girls, particularly—weren't nearly as into clothes and boys and happily-ever-after as they thought. "What we found was that girls loved the idea of a brand that embraced friendship and kindness," Goldner says. Impressed with Hasbro's analysis, Disney gave it a small license for Descendants , a made-for-TV movie it was developing about the teenage kids of its princesses.
Meanwhile, Mattel made what, in hindsight, seems like a pretty dense move: In 2013 it released its own line of princess-themed dolls, Ever After High. Unless you're a girl under 10—or the parent of one—you've probably never heard of them. Designed to be the teen children of Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and other characters, they wear platform shoes, bodices, and short, sometimes see-through skirts: tarted-up versions of Disney's Princesses. Stephen Sumner, a former Barbie designer now at Hasbro, did early sketches of the line. He says Mattel envisioned a line of witch dolls, then realized another company already had one. "So they had to turn it into princesses, even though there was kind of an overlap," he says. Because the dolls were based on traditional fairy tales, Mattel didn't have to pay Disney licensing fees. Disney didn't like the competition.
Several former Mattel employees point to the 2013 release of Ever After High as the last straw for Disney. Chris Sinclair, a Mattel board member who took over as CEO in January, agrees. "We got too competitive with them on Ever After High," he says. According to Mattel's annual report, Ever After High accounted for just $53 million in added sales last year.
Hasbro was busy working on its Descendants line when Disney called in early 2014 with a new proposal. "They said," Goldner recalls, " 'What would you do if we gave you the entire Disney Princess business?' "
Disney explained that it was reimagining its princesses. Its license agreement with Mattel was coming up for renewal, and it was shopping for a new dollmaker. The company was starting to hear you're-sending-the-wrong-message-to-our-daughter complaints from parents. The most biting criticism came from New York Times Magazine writer Peggy Orenstein , author of the 2011 book Cinderella Ate My Daughter . She often opined about the time her daughter's dentist asked her to sit in his "princess chair" so he could "sparkle" her teeth. "Parents were talking about the 'princess phase' as if it were an actual stage of development," says Orenstein.

Manchester police pursuit ends in arrestBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 14. 2014 8:45AM
MANCHESTER - A missing front license plate resulted in a brief police chase with speeds reaching about 50 mph on city streets late Thursday afternoon which ended with the arrest of a man wanted by the U.S. Marshal's Service.
The incident began about 5 p.m. when Officer Thomas Donovan noticed a blue Chevrolet Impala without a front license plate leaving the area of Pigeon's Market on Wilson Street.
Donovan turned on his blue lights to try and pull over the driver who, police said, sped up and headed south on Wilson Street. The car abruptly turned west onto Somerville Street and then, reaching speeds of 50 mph, sped through several stops signs between Lincoln and Union Streets, before heading north on Union Street.
The chase was called off and police lost sight of the Impala. About 15 minutes later, however, Officer Din Jenkins located the car in the driveway of 165 Taylor St.
The driver, identified by police as Terrance Sleweon, 28, of 493 Maple St., was found in an adjacent yard and briefly struggled with Detective Aaron Brown who attempted to handcuff him, police said.
He was arrested on charges of reckless conduct, a felony; disobeying a police officer; resisting arrest, and driving after license suspension/revocation.
Police said Sleweon also is wanted on a U.S. Marshal warrant on an unrelated charge.
A year ago, Sleweon was arrested on an escape charge after he failed to report to a federal halfway house. He originally was sentenced to two years in federal prison after being convicted of distributing cocaine.
Police said Sleweon was on probation for the drug charge and he had $4,800, which was seized. It was seized because a K-9 hit on traces of drugs on the cash, said Sgt. Brian N. O'Keefe.
At his arraignment Friday morning in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, Sleweon could enter no plea to the felony charge, so a probable cause hearing was set for March 25. Trial on the remaining charges was set for April 10.
Bail was set at $10,000 cash/surety, but there is a no-bail federal detainer on Sleweon in connection with the escape charge.

Is America Now Beyond the Point of No Return?
I now mostly avoid politics on this blog and instead direct such energies to SDA. However, the latter part of 2012 will be regarded as a momentous, historical time, especially for the United States of America. So once in a while I'll make an exception, especially when something is heavy on my mind.
Reginald Kaigler is a libertarian vlogger from Flint, Michigan. The first three minutes of this post-election video of his are exceptionally interesting:
Simply put, is he wrong?
I carefully listened to Dennis Miller this past week, in the days following America's Presidential election last Tuesday. Some people, callers & guests alike, seemed not willing to accept his sincere realization that the majority of Americans have no REAL interest in preventing America from reaching complete financial collapse; not the current debate about the short-term problem in January but what is mathematically certain to happen - probably before 2016.
As one caller alluded to, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin have already gotten back up in the proverbial saddle to "resume the fight". To what end though? Bailing water from a rowboat is one thing but trying to push back the rising water of a tsunami wave is . . . well, pointless. While I do believe these three gentlemen are sincere in their fiscal conservative beliefs, one has to realize that it's also in their own professional self-interest to continue the fight.
In the last two days of the week, I listened closely to how guests Debra Saunders, Liz Claman, and Major Garrett - intelligent people all - responded to Dennis's new found realization. Not one of them was willing to concede that he was almost certainly correct. Furthermore, Garrett even asserted that Obama will have to "wear" the massive economic collapse when it occurs. Not in a million years will that happen given the makeup of the mainstream media, who serve as his loyal palace guard.
For Dennis Miller, for Reginald Kaigler, and for yours truly, this has now moved beyond a Left vs. Right issue. It's just mathematics and time. The USS America is headed towards the largest iceberg the world has ever known. About 1/4 of the passengers are screaming at the captain to turn the ship to avoid the collision. Slightly more than that are telling the captain to ignore these people because they're crazy and that global warming will probably melt the iceberg anyhow. Almost 1/2 of the passengers are either disgusted with all the shouting back & forth or can't be bothered to leave the satellite TV service in their cabins to see what all the fuss is about.

We're still a ways away from confirming all the leaked details for Sprint's CTIA announcement, but HTC's latest trademark application does confirm that at least one of the three products Sprint is expected to unveil in a few weeks. According to a new file listed by the U.S. Patent Office, HTC is looking to trademark the name "HTC EVO View 4G" which pretty much confirms that Sprint is planing on launching an Android tablet with WiMax support.
The assumption is that the HTC EVO View 4G is simply a CDMA and WiMax enabled HTC Flyer running on Android 2.3 with a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm. But Sprint and HTC may deliver something even better. Since we have no real details to go off of, we could just as easily assume that the HTC EVO View 4G is the HTC Verdi, an Adroid tablet which will feature a larger 10-inch display, Honeycomb and may possibly be powered by a dual-core Snapdragon processor. For now, it's simply a guessing game. We'll have to wait for more details to leak out before we can call it either way.
There are a lot of factors to take into consideration when buying an Android tablet; but would you rather have the HTC Flyer with Android 2.3 and a 7-inch display or the HTC Verdi with a 10-inch display running on Android 3.0?


text: With the sun finally coming out, the short shorts debate looks set to continue. I'm not a fan of short shorts, but I despise three quarter lengths and cargo shorts even more. My ideal shorts would be a dark colour, well fitted and stopping just above the kneecap. APC – whose madras range we've featured before – have a pair of denim Bermuda shorts that tick all those boxes.

STOCKTON - The District Attorney's Office filed no charges against a Stockton man arrested Monday on suspicion he beat and kidnapped a 14-year-old girl.
STOCKTON - The District Attorney's Office filed no charges against a Stockton man arrested Monday on suspicion he beat and kidnapped a 14-year-old girl.
Thornton Lester Cooley, 39, was scheduled to be in court for arraignment Friday, but prosecutors decided there was not enough evidence to charge him.
Supervising Deputy District Attorney Kristine Reed said she could not discuss the facts in the case but said her office has requested that the investigation continue.
"There just wasn't sufficient evidence for us to file the case at this point," Reed said.
Cooley was arrested after the teen's mother called Stockton police to say her daughter had been held captive by Cooley at his residence in the 700 block of North Airport Way.
The girl, whose name is being withheld because she is a minor, said she escaped the residence and called her mother for help.
Police said the girl left her home several days before the incident, but she was not reported missing during her absence.
According to the teen, she moved into Cooley's home and at some point she attempted to walk away. She said Cooley prevented her by dragging her back in by her hair and beating her.
Cooley was arrested at the Airport Way residence on suspicion of kidnapping and on suspicion of drug violations because officers found drugs and drug paraphernalia inside the house.
Officers who interviewed the girl reported that she had "no visible injuries." They said they are unaware of any other harm to the girl.
Cooley faced multiple felony charges, including false imprisonment by violence and child abuse/endangerment.
He was first scheduled for arraignment Wednesday. Prosecutors filed no complaint by then, and Cooley was re-booked and his hearing rescheduled to Friday.
Cooley's Friday hearing was dropped when prosecutors decided not to file charges, and he was set to be released from jail.

'Preventable' tragedies: Infant deaths during sleep
By NANCY WEST
New Hampshire Sunday News
Sharing sleep space with infants in a "family bed" makes for controversy that just won't quit.
But some experts hope gathering facts about otherwise healthy infants - most younger than 5 months old - who die unexpectedly while sleeping with an adult or sibling, or in an unsafe sleep environment, or from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome will finally put the debate to rest.
And encourage parents to focus on providing a safe sleeping environment for their babies.
In New Hampshire, 81 such infants died in their sleep from 2006 through 2012, according to preliminary data collected by the state Office of Chief Medical Examiner.
"This type of death is so easily preventable," said Dr. Thomas Andrew, the state's chief medical examiner, referring to co-sleeping and unsafe sleep environment deaths.
About half of the 81 deaths involved bed-sharing. None were considered suspicious, Andrew said.
"Of the infants sleeping alone, many listed risks such as fluffy bedding, soft mattresses, overbundling, or other unsafe sleep environments," Andrew said.
Among the possible dangers are obstructing the infant's mouth and nose, which can lead to asphyxia, or rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide, which can also induce death, Andrew said.
Placing infants on their stomachs to sleep is also a high-risk practice. Sleeping with infants on couches and chairs are considered risks as well, he said.
Adults who smoke, drink, use drugs or who are obese also increase the risk of infant death if they co-sleep with infants, he said.
Proponents insist bed-sharing is natural and if done safely, promotes infant health and family bonding. But medical examiners such as Dr. Andrew, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, say don't do it because it can lead to unnecessary deaths.
Andrew thinks it will take a concerted multi-pronged campaign to change co-sleeping behaviors.
There are about 4,200 sudden unexpected infant deaths per year in the United States. Half are caused by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, according to the CDC.
The cause of 39 of the 81 unexpected infant deaths in New Hampshire was listed as SIDS, although some were not what Andrew would consider "classic SIDS cases" because they involved other risk factors such as fluffy bedding or babies sleeping on their stomachs.
Nine deaths involved accidents during sleep, such as an adult rolling over on an infant, called accidental overlay, or the infant becoming wedged in a couch after slipping off a sleeping parent's chest.
An additional 33 deaths were listed as undetermined.
"Of every 10 or 12 such deaths, about two will be classic SIDS cases," Andrew said. "Six or seven will be co-sleeping and three or four will likely involve unsafe sleep positions or bedding."
The CDC defines SIDS as the sudden death of an infant younger than 1 year old that cannot be explained after a thorough investigation is conducted.
"If the death has been certified as undetermined, chances are exceedingly great the issue there was an unsafe sleep environment," Andrew said. "I would say there's a slight majority that were co-sleeping, and the remainder involved things like overbundling, fluffy bedding" and other unsafe sleep environments.
Infants don't have the gross motor skills to rescue themselves, roll over or turn their heads when stuck in dangerous positions. "A 3- or 4-week-old has minimal muscle control," Andrew said.
Andrew's office obtained a CDC grant along with nine other states to obtain detailed information about such deaths to find ways to prevent them in the future. And to come up uniform definitions and consistent reporting systems.
The word needs to reach new parents, especially those who rely on older family members who slept with their infants without a problem, he said.
"More and more young parents are subscribing to the family bed and skin-to-skin school of thought," Andrew said.
James J. McKenna, Ph.d, is an advocate of informed choice on bed-sharing.
The director of the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame cautions parents to make sure the mother is breast-feeding and the sleep environment is safe if they bed-share. Adults who use drugs or alcohol shouldn't bed-share, he said. Mothers who smoke also shouldn't sleep with their infants, McKenna said.
"Sleeping with human infants is more than a nice social idea," McKenna said. "It becomes the baby's physiology" and regulates breathing, heart rate and body temperature, he said.
"Babies love to sleep next to moms and dads."
McKenna is seeing a surge in mothers who work and breast feed. At night, they want to be close to their infants by sharing sleep space, he said.
When otherwise healthy babies die in their sleep, officials often don't explain the whole picture, he said.
"What is true overwhelmingly is when babies die in beds with parents, there is not only one independent risk factor but several. Maybe the baby was prone, the mother was not breast-feeding and the mom smoked," McKenna said.
Bed-sharing is only one way for parents and babies to be close at bedtime, he said,
Most experts agree that co-sleeping in the same room on separate surfaces such as cribs and portable cribs is beneficial and can be done safely, McKenna said.
More new parents are bed-sharing, though, he said. A recent survey in California showed 80 percent of new parents had slept with or were sleeping with their infants, he said.
"I am amazed. My website gets 10,000 to 20,000 hits per month, and most go to the safety page."
McKenna is critical of the campaigns to end bed-sharing.
"We need to know how to do it safely," he said.
Bethlehem midwife Natanya Champney believes bed-sharing is becoming more common, something she practices, as well, but doesn't universally endorse.
"I don't think it is right for everyone," Champney said.
For many new parents, a product called a co-sleeper can be a good compromise, she said.
"Its like a crib that attaches on the bed," Champney said.
Dr. Robert Darnall, who teaches pediatrics and physiology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College, also sits on the American Academy of Pediatrics task force on SIDS.
"The basic thing we have to do is eliminate anything in the sleep space that could possibly be asphyxiating for one reason or another," Darnall said.
Babies should sleep alone on a firm mattress with no soft blankets, no stuffed toys, no crib bumpers, he said.
"Basically a bare crib with the infant sleeping on its back," Darnall said.
"Sharing a room with parents is protecting the infant," Darnall said. "Having the baby in bed with parents increases risk of sudden death."
Another factor that complicates the risk picture is the fact that some infants have brain abnormalities that could undermine their ability to control breathing and arousal mechanisms.
"The evidence suggests there is no protection provided from infants sleeping with a parent," Darnall said. And lots showing it is unsafe.
"Why take the chance?" Darnall asked.
"We all should be conscious of safe sleep because it can save lives."

EMF in "Unbelievable"
Better Believe It
Welcome to Forgotten Videos. Well, for some forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery. Whichever category you fall into, each week we'll feature a video that's possibly been collecting dust when what it really deserves is a fresh look. Or, we'll be giving a fresh look at a video that deserves to be collecting dust. We're not here to judge, we just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Yep, you'll remember when hair was really that big, when drums were that up front in the mix, when video was young(er) and so were you.
This British dance-rock quintet from Cinderford, England, which formed in 1989 as part of what was known as the Manchester rave scene, made an unbelievable debut with this hit single reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991. The band, vocalist James Atkin, keyboardist Derry Brownson, drummer Mark De Cloedt, guitarist Ian Dench, and bassist Zach Foley, played their first gig just two months after forming and it was a Casio sampler and sequencer picked up in a local thrift shop that added the dance vibe to their rock-oriented sound. Their initials are said to stand for Epsom Mad Funkers, named after a New Order fan club. Apparently, EMF fans thought it stood for something else (Ecstacy Mind F***ers). Yoko Ono had a few thoughts of her own when she objected to the band's use of a voice sample of John Lennon's murderer Mark David Chapman on another track off the Schubert Dip album. The sound bite was later removed from future pressings.
The video finds the band performing live at what was actually a free concert held in order to get performance shots from a live crowd full of colorful attire, sideways hats and high-energy dance moves. But the high energy faded as EMF eventually called it quits after releasing their EP Unexplained and two more full-length efforts Stigma (1992), and Cha Cha Cha (1995), to no avail.
Got an unbelievable Forgotten Video recommendation? Leave us a comment.

Take a Street View Drive with Google Maps
I think there must be a rule in the automotive industry that you can't have an advertising campaign for a car without featuring Google Maps Street View. It seems it is is Peugot's turn to create an impressive Street View application to promote the Peugot RCZ.
RCZ View is an application that allows you to create any route in Google Maps and then watch a Street View stop motion animation of your created route. It takes a little while for the application to grab the Street Views for a route but it is worth the wait.
If you want to save a little time you can just watch the preprogrammed routes.

Neil Patrick Harris to return to Broadway _ to act
NEW YORK (AP) — Neil Patrick Harris is returning to the stage — and not to hand out awards.
The four-time Tony Award host and former "Doogie Howser, M.D." will star on Broadway in the spring as the gender-bent rock chanteuse at the center of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," the cult musical that was made into a cult movie.
The rest of the creative team members, cast, dates and the theater will be announced later.
Written by John Cameron Mitchell and composer Stephen Trask, "Hedwig" was an unlikely hit fashioned out of a strange story: a tale of obsession, glam rock, a botched sex-change operation and a quest for identity.
Mitchell starred in an off-Broadway production that played for two years starting in 1998 in the dilapidated ballroom of an ancient Greenwich Village hotel and reprised the role in a 2001 film version. In a statement, Mitchell said: "Who better to pass the wig to but the finest entertainer of his generation?"
Harris, the 40-year-old "How I Met Your Mother" star, has been featured in three Broadway productions, including "Assassins," ″Proof" and as the exuberant master of ceremonies in "Cabaret."
In a statement, Harris said: "I am simultaneously ecstatic and terrified to be stepping into Hedwig's heels. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime role and I can't wait to begin the journey."

LODI - The Lodi real estate market can be summed up in one word: slim.
LODI - The Lodi real estate market can be summed up in one word: slim.
And for many, it's frustrating, even as the median home sale price has climbed just over 16 percent in Lodi over the past year.
With a dearth of inventory to be sold and a plethora of buyers looking to take advantage of low interest rates, it looks like a seller's market is starting to emerge in the northern part of San Joaquin County. But real estate agents say that even as multiple offers pour in for their client's homes, the properties cannot appraise at a level to sustain such a bidding war.
"We have way more buyers than sellers. If a house is priced competitively, the multiple offers are incredible," PMZ Real Estate agent Leah Mettler said.
The problem is, agents say, if an eager buyer bids high above asking and the home doesn't appraise that high, the buyer has to come up with cash to cover the difference between his loan and the appraised value. So that depresses the sales price and pushes first-time home buyers out of the picture.
"The inventory says it's a seller's market, but the sales totals say it's not," Keller Williams Lodi agent Jack Mossman said. "The reality is, you can have 10 offers, but the appraiser will knock down the price. So it's not a seller's market in the way a seller's market used to be."
Median home prices have increased steadily in Lodi, climbing from $176,000 in December 2011 to $205,000 in December 2012, a trend that is similar to San Joaquin County, where inventory has been cut in half over the past 12 months. Still, many in the baby boomer generation are underwater on their mortgages. So the scenario where those "empty nesters" that would sell their home for equity to downsize and pad their retirement funds is not present in this market.
Mossman said the market won't truly change until the baby boomer generation is ready to sell and former first-time home buyers can afford to move up.
"I see this (low inventory market) continuing for at least the next 12 to 18 months," Lodi Realty World agent Randy Elliott said. "I don't see prices shooting up like in the past. Unless something changes dramatically, this is how it's going to be for a while."
San Joaquin County's market outside of Lodi tells a similar story. Low inventory exists in a market where there is a cap, based on appraisals, for how much a home can fetch in a bidding war. Cash buyers are king. Those applying for FHA loans or other government-assistance programs are having a hard time competing with buyers who have larger down payments to offer.
The difference in Stockton, however, is those investors who scooped up foreclosed properties when the city was labeled as ground zero of the foreclosure crisis are now starting to flip their properties for a profit. It's more active than Lodi, but far from booming.
Homes that were purchased when the median home price was $133,000 in January 2009 are now selling in a market where the median price is $182,000.
"I think the momentum is positive," PMZ Stockton President Ben Balsbaugh said. "But prices have not come up high enough for builders to come or for most sellers to put their house on the market. I do think we'll see 10 to 15 percent price increases over the next two years. We have a lot of frustrated buyers, and sellers can demand top dollar for their house."

"Food Network Star" season eight winner Justin Warner hits the road in search of unique culinary rule-breakers in the one-hour special "Rebel Eats," airing Saturday, March 30, at 10 p.m. on Food Network. Armed with $300 in his pocket, a beat-up car and a passion for unconventional food and eccentric people, Justin travels the back roads of the south to try everything from moonshine and bacon beer to barbecue in a jar and jelly fish pasta. Along the way, he meets the cooks and proprietors who, like him, march to their own beat through the world of food.
"Food Network Star's" ninth season is currently in production in Los Angeles, with culinary superstars Alton Brown, Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay returning to the series. The new season is slated to premiere in June.
Known for his "Rebel with a Culinary Cause" point-of-view, Brooklyn's Justin Warner is the current "Food Network Star" winner. He distinguished himself with a witty on-camera presence and unique, edgy spins on every dish he created - all fine-tuned over the course of the series by his "Food Network Star" mentor, Alton Brown. Justin is a self-taught cook and owner/chef of Do or Dine, a Brooklyn restaurant that he and his partners built from the ground up. Originally from Hagerstown, Md., Justin began working in restaurants at just 13 years old and has knowledge of the industry that extends way beyond his years. His approach to food reflects his personality - edgy, intense, passionate and witty.

While we're all celebrating new highs in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Apple remains in the doldrums.
At its current value of about $430 a share, it's 270 points below its October high of $700. Over a quarter of a billion dollars in value has been destroyed. Doesn't sound like much in a market whose value is approaching $20 trillion, according to the Wilshire Index.
But consider this: Since October's Apple high, the Wilshire has advanced only a little more than 1,000 points, adding about $1.2 trillion to the market's value. If Apple had just stayed where it was, that figure would be about $1.45 trillion. For every $5 in total stock market advance during the period, Apple by itself lost the market $1.

|Return to rc.mdwn CVS log
|Up to [NetBSD Developer Wiki] / wikisrc / guide
Added the rc chapter from the Guide. Added a section about rc.d scripts from additional services.
# The rc.d System NetBSD uses individual scripts for controlling system and service startup, similar to System V, but without runlevels. Nowadays, most Linux distributions switched to systemd, which is a different approach: It does not use scripts anymore, but tries to have everything binary. It also serves for several other purposes, while NetBSD's rc.d system just serves for starting up services at system startup or by user intervention. This chapter is an overview of NetBSD's rc.d system and its configuration. ## Basics The system startup files reside in the `/etc` directory. They are: * `/etc/rc` * `/etc/rc.conf` * `/etc/rc.d/*` * `/etc/rc.lkm` * `/etc/rc.local` * `/etc/rc.shutdown` * `/etc/rc.subr` * `/etc/defaults/*` * `/etc/rc.conf.d/*` First, a look at controlling and supporting scripts (also documented in [rc(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rc+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386)): * After the kernel has initialized all devices at startup, it starts [init(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?init+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386), which in turn runs `/etc/rc`. * `/etc/rc` sorts the scripts in `/etc/rc.d` using [rcorder(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rcorder+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) and then runs them in that order. See below and the manpage for details of how the order of rc.d scripts is determined. * `/etc/rc.subr` contains common functions used by `/etc/rc` and various rc.d scripts. * When shutting down the system with [shutdown(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?shutdown+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386), `/etc/rc.shutdown` is run, which runs the scripts in `/etc/rc.d` in reverse order (as defined by [rcorder(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rcorder+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386)). *Note*: If you shut down the system using the [halt(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?halt+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) command, these scripts will not be run. There are some special scripts outside the `rc.d` directory, which are also run: * `/etc/rc.lkm` loads or unloads Loadable Kernel Modules (LKMs). See [modload(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?modload+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) and `/etc/rc.d/lkm[123]`. * `/etc/rc.local` is almost the last script called at boot up. This script can be edited by the administrator to start local daemons that don't fit the rc.d model, or do maintenance that should be done only once at startup. rc.d scripts are controlled by a central configuration file, `/etc/rc.conf`, which loads its default settings from `/etc/defaults/rc.conf`. If you want to change a default setting, do not edit `/etc/defaults/rc.conf`; instead, override the setting in `/etc/rc.conf`. It is a good idea to read the [rc.conf(5)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rc.conf+5+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) man page to learn about the services that are by default available to you. The following example shows how to enable the SSH daemon, which is disabled by default: # cd /etc; grep ssh defaults/rc.conf sshd=NO sshd_flags="" # echo "sshd=YES" >> rc.conf Now [sshd(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sshd+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) will be started automatically at system startup. The next section describes how to start and stop services at any time. Last but not least, files can be created in the `/etc/rc.conf.d/` directory to override the behavior of a given rc.d script without editing the script itself. ## The rc.d scripts The actual scripts that control services are in `/etc/rc.d`. These scripts are automatically run at boot time, but they can be called manually if necessary. The following example shows how to start the SSH daemon that we enabled in the previous section: # /etc/rc.d/sshd start Starting sshd. Later, if you wish to stop the SSH daemon, run the following command: # /etc/rc.d/sshd stop Stopping sshd. Waiting for PIDS: 123. The rc.d scripts take one of the following arguments: * `start` * `stop` * `restart` * `status` Some scripts may support other arguments (e.g., `reload`), but every script will support at least the above commands. As an example, after adding a new record to a [named(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?named+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) database, the daemon can be told to reload its configuration files with the following command: # /etc/rc.d/named reload Reloading named config files. Note that all of the commands discussed above will only take action if the particular service is enabled in `/etc/rc.conf`. It is possible to bypass this requirement by prepending `one` to the command, as in: # /etc/rc.d/httpd start $httpd is not enabled - see rc.conf(5). Use the following if you wish to perform the operation: /etc/rc.d/httpd onestart # /etc/rc.d/httpd onestart Starting httpd. The above command will allow you to start the [httpd(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?httpd+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) service one time. To stop a service that has been started in this manner, pass `onestop` to the script. ## Order/dependencies of start determined by rcorder The startup system of every Unix system determines, in one way or another, the order in which services are started. On some Unix systems this is done by numbering the files and/or putting them in separate run level directories. Solaris relies on wildcards like `/etc/rc[23].d/S*` being sorted numerically when expanded. Some simply put all the commands that should be started into a single monolithic script (this is the traditional BSD method, and is what NetBSD did before the rc.d system). On modern NetBSD this is done by the rc.d scripts and their contents. Please note that NetBSD does not have multiple runlevels as found in SysV-style systems like Solaris and Linux. At the beginning of each rc.d script there is a series of commented out lines that have one of the following items in them: * `REQUIRE` * `PROVIDE` * `BEFORE` * `KEYWORD` These describe the dependencies of that particular script and allow rcorder to easily work either `up` or `down` as the situation requires. As an example, here is the ordering information contained in `/etc/rc.d/nfsd`: ... PROVIDE: nfsd REQUIRE: rpcbind mountd ... Here we can see that this script provides the `nfsd` service and that it requires `rpcbind` and `mountd` to be running first. The [rcorder(8)](http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?rcorder+8+NetBSD-5.0.1+i386) utility is used at system startup time to read through all the rc.d scripts and determine the order in which they should be run. ## rc.d scripts of additional services Packages you install additionally won't be listed in the rc.conf(5) manpage. Packages installing services which can be started with an rc.d script tell you so after they are installed, along with the variable that is used for starting them (usually, it has the same name as the service itself). Then, you usually have to copy them from `/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d` to `/etc/rc.d` for `rc` to automatically find them, or add the line rc_directories="/etc/rc.d /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d" to your `/etc/rc.conf`. If you forgot the name of the service variable, you can have a look at the rc.d script itself. The variable `rcvar` (usually set to `$name`) will tell you. E.g., to find the name of variable to start fscd, run $ grep ^rcvar /etc/rc.d/fscd rcvar=${name} $ grep ^name /etc/rc.d/fscd # Aaaw, no direct rcvar. name="fscd" Thus, you need in your `/etc/rc.conf` the entry: fscd="YES" ## Additional Reading Luke Mewburn, one of the principal designers of the rc.d system, gave a presentation on the system at USENIX 2001. It is available in [PDF](http://www.mewburn.net/luke/papers/rc.d.pdf) format.

So, the iPhone 4 has been out for a while, and is getting mostly pretty good reviews - there's one major sore spot, though. Apple made this hoopla about their fancy antenna thingie, but as it turns out, this thingie is kind of a design flaw, causing signal loss (and dropped calls) for some people. Despite downplaying by Steve Jobs himself, AnandTech has done a thorough investigation, and they've found out that the problem - which affects every mobile phone - is a whole lot worse on the iPhone 4 due to the new antenna. At the same time, however, the iPhone has much better reception in low signal situations. What?

The digital universe is vast and ever expanding at an incredible rate. Market intelligence firm IDC's 2011 Digital Universe study found that the amount of information created and replicated in 2011 exceeded 1.8 zettabytes (1.8 trillion gigabytes). That's a lot of data. And more importantly, companies are liable for 80 percent of this information at some point in its digital life.
When it comes down to it, both the legal and IT departments need to do something about this gargantuan amount of data. Most companies have records management policies in place to handle information critical to a company's business and interests, as well as a corresponding set of records retention schedules that identify record categories, regulatory requirements and the period of time for which they need to be kept before being destroyed.
The problem, however, is that for many companies, those policies are
typically only applied to paper records and not electronically stored information (ESI). Experts agree that this needs to change.
Unmanaged Mess
A large part of the data dragging companies down is "unmanaged information," which essentially is any information—be it paper or ESI—that is not actively being managed pursuant to a records management policy. Unmanaged information can be anything a person can create and save on his computer. Most of this unmanaged information exists in email, shared-use repositories and any other place where someone stores information. And because people think data storage is cheap, they never delete anything, and it piles up.
"It used to be that unmanaged information, back in the days of paper, was the stuff that sat around on people's desks and in file cabinets," says LeClairRyan Partner Dennis Kiker. "It was just your working stuff, and it wasn't really that big of a problem because everything was governed by square footage. But when information moved to computers, few companies actively employed records management principles to ESI."
Most records retention policies generally say people shouldn't keep anything any longer than it's needed to do their jobs. But because unmanaged data is not part of a records management function—like a tax return, signed contract or any other information the business must retain for a specified period of time according to law—deletion is up to the user. Therefore, much of this information just sits in databases or goes on a shelf in a warehouse, and nobody ever throws it out.
"If I go into a file share in typically any organization today, I usually find that more than 80 percent of documents and data in there has not been touched for more than three years," says Founder, Senior Attorney and Consultant Anne Kershaw of A. Kershaw, P.C. // Attorneys & Consultants. "I call that 'dead data.' It's getting backed up. It's getting cared for and fed. It's taking up electricity. And when they move that data to another server or migrate it to the cloud—they're mostly just moving dead data. And it costs a lot of money."
Risky Business
The risks associated with companies storing this ever-increasing amount of data are manifold. First, storage is expensive despite decreasing prices, due to the massive amounts of data companies are storing and the varying nature of arrangements with service providers. Secondly, search and retrieval against large amounts of data can have a high price tag.
"[If all of this data] is around when you're investigated or sued, all of that is going to be part of a discovery process, and you're going to have to spend a lot of money to review it and figure out if you have to turn it over to someone," Kershaw says. "That can cost $20,000 per gigabyte."
Beyond the costs are the operational risks to storing so much data. Companies can become mired in a situation in which it's difficult to find the most up-to-date or most-relevant information, which can seriously hinder business operations. There's also the risk of getting incorrect or inaccurate data.
There also are regulatory risks. Companies that have data pertaining to an inquiry can be levied fines and adverse action findings if they don't produce information expediently. This can be especially painful for companies in highly regulated industries because when litigation or an inquiry arises, there's more useless data to sift through and it's harder to quickly understand the facts.
Suggested Solutions
There are a number of ways companies can deal with their data dilemmas. Redgrave Partner Jonathan Redgrave suggests first setting up an integrated team of legal and IT personnel who have both C-level and budgetary support. Once the team is in place, they can begin with instituting a managed email/messaging environment that consolidates and optimizes enterprise electronic communications, which can reduce the growth of information.
Other solutions include technologies that can index information on shared network drives, which will help teams understand the data's value in order to determine whether it's worth keeping. There also is technology to automatically classify records as they're created. These systems examine content, determine the type of record, and recommend what classification and record retention policy should apply.
Regardless of the chosen solution, Redgrave believes it's critical for companies to recognize the potential hazards to storing unneeded data.
"In many ways, it really is a cultural challenge for an organization to get people to understand that information is possibly both its greatest asset and its greatest liability," he says. "You'd better take good care with it."

Fresh Color Combo: Orange & Gray
I've long been a fan of orange and gray. Separately, each has its own merits. Gray, the chameleon of the two, is by turns warm and aloof, depending on its hue, while orange has difficulty concealing its zest for living — even at its palest, orange packs a punch. Bring the two together, and you get tension, as in office co-workers, are-they-ever-going-to-kiss, fabulous tension (think Moonlighting, Pam and Jim, or most recently, Mindy and Danny of the Mindy project, and you get what I mean).
As with our favorite television characters' relationships, the tension created by this dynamic color duo can swing from subtle to bold, depending on mood. It's a matter of the balance between the two colors, as well as the hues chosen for each.
Looking for cool sophistication? Try a light taupe-y or lavender gray and a hint of rust. Want to create a more seductive mood? Go for a dark gray with a touch of mink or olive in it, and add a bit of deep pumpkin. Feel like something fresher? Try dove gray and tangerine. The combinations are endless! It's all a matter of determining the mood you want to create and striking the balance that works best for you.
How do you feel about this combustible color combo? Are you as smitten with it as I am?

I bought one last year in late spring. I bike a minimum of twice a week during the summer. I bring my daughter with me whenever I can. She loves it. She is now 2 1/2. Fits great. It can get tight in there when her cousin rides along. He's a couple years older. I may have needed to make more adjustments to the seating than I did when there are 2 in the trailer. RIDE ON!
Best Uses
I have had this trailer for over a year and still love it. I use it for my 3 and 5 year olds together, they really still enjoy it although it's getting a little tight in there by these ages. Pulling 70+ pounds of kid is remarkably easy and it handles so well I forget I am pulling someone. I love the storage in the back - perfect for a picnic and diaper bag or quick errand. The trailer folds quickly and stores easily, and is easy to connect to my bike. This is a quality product.
Best Uses
What can you say about a product that you can use for years and sell it for close to the original purchase price years later. I have tried to find a used one, and there is a lot of overpriced junk out there.

The following column is from Lloyd Miller, the AN Contributing Editor for the Society for Anthropology in Community Colleges (SACC). This column appears in the May 2011 AN (p 35-36) and we're pleased to share it here.
Though Iowa is a right-to-work state and teachers cannot strike, we have collectively bargained at Des Moines Area Community College since the law was enacted in 1974. The question has often been asked, "Why doesn't the faculty union bargain for improvement in educational quality? Why are teachers only looking out for their own economic well-being?"
Our responses were always that the purposes of unions are just that: to maintain and advance the contract bargained with the administration as it pertains to salaries, benefits and safety issues, and to protect members from their bosses' arbitrary and capricious behavior when it occurs. I was always surprised at how many faculty colleagues weren't comfortable with that. Even in hard times, our membership was only about 50% of those eligible.
Somehow, teacher unions never succeeded in convincing some people that we were an honorable organization. Increasingly, our public image became that of obstructionists protecting incompetence and impeding educational improvement. Administrators complained that teacher unions made it impossible to fire incompetents, often to avoid the hassle of providing appropriate evidence. Newspapers ran frequent op-ed essays blaming public school teachers for the decline in student academic performance and lauding charter schools, vouchers and other forms of privatization. Political conservatives lionized former Washington, DC school superintendent Michelle Rhee for criticizing teacher unions while firing 241 teachers and placing another 737 on a year's notice to improve their proficiency (Washington Post, July 24, 2010).
And now that Wisconsin's governor and Republican-dominated legislature have gutted public employee unions, the movement is in full swing. Other states with Republican majorities are following suit. Unions and their supporters are fighting back, and I am confident that when the nation regains its sanity from some of the extreme measures that have been taken, teachers unions will survive, with some changes.
However, while the battle rages, the subject of education sits on the shelf. It is not being discussed. To find out some of the important issues in community college education, Mark Lewine, community college representative on the AAA Education Task Force, queried SACC-L listserv members and unleashed a wellspring of responses:
Many students can neither read nor write. Almost as many are in developmental programs as in college-level classes.
Federal, state and local pressures are on students completing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs to enter the work force. Liberal Arts subjects like anthropology, philosophy, literature and the fine arts are de-emphasized.
Waning state support for public education in general causes deans and faculty to spend much of their time writing grant proposals.
Math instructors complain that students' poor reading skills hamper their abilities to work through and comprehend homework, especially word problems.
Too many students are incompetent in simple arithmetic and don't even understand percentages.
Furthermore, a report on a five-year study of 26 community colleges designed to identify learning problems and develop strategies to improve student academic achievement stated that student outcomes remained largely unchanged (Jennifer González, "'Achieving the Dream' Produces Little Change in Community Colleges," Chronicle of Higher Education, February 9, 2011).
Perhaps more than four-year colleges or universities, public community colleges are top-down institutions. Educational leadership must come from the chief executives themselves. However, if community college presidents are exhorting their faculties to uphold educational standards and require their students to really learn in order to be retained, I have yet to hear of it. The public wants improved education, yes, but it relies on educators to make it happen. At some point, increased retention rates, more degrees granted and more "cost-effective" budgeting (read: higher ratio of adjunct to full-time faculty) won't cut it if students aren't really learning.
I think it's an opportune time for faculty unions to come out publicly for improved learning. Without capitulating to the myths of private enterprise solutions, they could take the moral high road and, with the aid of the still-considerable power of the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers, nudge their presidents to confront the elephant in the room. As anthropologists, we know that real educational improvement is complicated and requires cultural adjustments throughout society, not just in the classrooms. Who better than teachers to lead the charge?

Gail Fisher's Dog Tracks: Dogs can be taught not to pull on leashGAIL FISHER
April 27. 2013 8:39PM
Last week I responded to a reader's letter about forming a stronger bond and better relationship with her dogs. Her letter read in part: I have two spayed females, a 3-year-old Pembroke Corgi and a 1-1/2 year-old Dachshund/Corgi mix. The dogs don't walk with me but pull me down the street. The Corgi mix has been to dog training and ignores me when we walk. I think there is something missing in how I relate to my dogs, but I'm not sure what it is. I would really like to learn how to form a closer bond with my dogs.
The goal of "loose leash walking" is to walk together with your dog - with neither you, nor your dog pulling on either end of the leash. A dog on a walk is eager to reach an interesting smell in a patch of grass, or explore who's been visiting the local fire hydrant. If we walked as briskly as our dogs, there would be no need for them to pull - we'd be walking in concert together. Unfortunately, a dog's normal walking pace is generally brisker than the walker's average speed, so the goal is to teach the dog to walk at our pace, without pulling.
Considering both ends of the leash, the dog wants to investigate possibly interesting smells; the person wants to walk with the dog calmly by her side, not yanking her shoulder out by pulling. It is possible to meet both goals - easiest accomplished early on training a young dog, but not hopeless even once you've got a puller.
The dog's learning starts the very first time the dog pulls. The leash tightens, the dog pulls forward and gets to the spot he wanted to smell. As readers of this column know, each successful pull "reinforces" it. The reward of getting to the odor teaches the dog to pull.
The simple way to address this issue is through training. Some training approaches involve letting the dog get to the end of the leash and then "correcting" the dog back to the owner's side. That approach is far less successful than teaching the dog where to walk - to walk with you. This means the dog is aware of where you are in relation to him - is able to see you, even if it's just peripherally.
We have our students envision a radius around their left (or right) side from about a foot in front to 2 feet to the side and possibly a foot behind. Any further in front of you than that, and chances are your dog has no sense of how far away he is and will keep walking until he hits the end of the leash, i.e., pulls. As long as he is in your well-defined area walking on a loose leash (you shouldn't be pulling on it either!), you should be praising and occasionally rewarding with food treats. The moment he moves too far ahead - before he hits the end of the leash - reconnect with him. Make a kissing sound or other alert sound that tells him you're there, and when he reconnects, praise and continue walking forward. If he doesn't reconnect, stop walking - just stop. Your dog should not continue moving forward unless he's walking with you.
Loose leash walking means no tension in the leash. Pulling has taught the dog that a tight leash means pull forward. From now on, any tension in the leash means STOP. You stop walking, reconnect your dog with you, and move forward again with your dog.
If this sounds too difficult to do on your own (it really isn't - and you'll find detailed instructions in my book, "The Thinking Dog," ), enroll in a positive, reward-oriented training class (preferably using marker training). Loose leash walking can be accomplished in just a few weeks, if you're committed to it and consistent.
Next week, the final part of this reader's question - how to create a strong, bonded relationship with your dog.
