Let's call "The Killing" deliberate, not slow, so as to not scare away viewers accustomed to the murder-of-the-week style of most criminal procedurals.
"CSI" this is not. It's so much better.
"I just thought it was one of the most beautiful pieces of storytelling I had read in any genre in years," said the show's star, Mireille Enos. "It was so cinematic and thoughtful, and paced so slowly, which is a gift in TV."
"The Killing" (8 p.m. Sunday, AMC; **** stars) follows with meticulous detail a Seattle police probe into the brutal murder of teen Rosie Larsen. Executive producer Veena Sud, who based her chilling whodunit on the wildly popular Danish drama "Forbrydelsen," structured the tale so that each of the 13 episodes represents roughly one day in the investigation.
Enos says the reverential treatment gives viewers a chance—rare in many broadcast network series—to get to know the characters thoroughly.
"It's a character piece under the umbrella of a crime drama," she said. "And that's so fun when … you have this compelling story that pulls these characters along. It's the best of both worlds."
Enos plays Det. Sarah Linden, a veteran investigator who is handed the case the day she's supposed to leave Seattle and move with her son to California to get married. But like the drug addicts she will later interview, Sarah can't give up the case.
She would be giving up on Rosie—and on her devastated parents, Stan (Brent Sexton) and Mitch (Michelle Forbes). So she takes her kid to a friend's, offers excuses to her fiance and partners up with her replacement, Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman). As she and Stephen dig deeper, they uncover connections to a local politician (Billy Campbell), Rosie's schoolmates and others.
Enos's Sarah is a deeply intelligent, introspective and dogged investigator who keeps her cards close to the vest. Sarah reveals little of what she's thinking or feeling, but through Enos' portrayal you know much is stirring under that surface calm. She's juggling her commitment to Rosie, to her son and fiance, and to her driving need to do what she does best.
"I think this is a person who is capable of stepping over the line into that world of addiction where she can't walk away," Enos said. "Sure, it's about the case and it's about being responsible to the dead, but it's also about what she's getting out of it—her own sense of making her life worth something."
Enos, most recently seen portraying twin sisters Jodeen and Kathy Marquart on "Big Love," is making a full life for herself. She's married to actor Alan Ruck, who spent years on such Chicago stages as the Wisdom Bridge Theatre before playing Cameron Frye in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." They had their first child together, daughter Vesper Vivianne, in September.
Moving with her family to Vancouver just months after the baby was born to film "The Killing" has been a challenge for Enos, but she thinks it was all destined to be.
"I think the fact that it all happened at the same time isn't an accident," she said. "That my daughter showed up and this amazing part showed up and my life is so full, it feels like it's all of a piece … It's going really great."
Enos talked more about Sarah Linden, "The Killing" and her roles on "Big Love."

Give me your take on "The Killing."
I think it is such a responsible, intriguing piece of television. Veena [Sud], the creator, is such a hugely intelligent woman. She wanted to tell the story of the death of a child. To do that with anything less than total honesty and responsibility would be so unfair to audience members who may or may not have gone through that experience. There's such a sense of respect and reverence in the creating of this.
And the cast of characters that she's created are so varied and so diverse. Because the structure of the show is that every [episode] is one day in the unfolding of this case, it's like time is slowed down. The audience gets to actually know these people.
Did you try to find the original Danish show?
I did not because I didn't want to have that wonderful performance in my mind. I felt that would be distracting for me.
Your character, Sarah Linden, seems to be very closed up. She's built these walls. Tell me about her.
Yes. She's a deeply private person, and she feels kind of like an alien in this world. And sometimes, like both ends of the spectrum of that. Sometimes she feels like an alien because she feels so superior to everyone, and sometimes she's an alien because she feels incapable of connecting to other people. The qualities that make her good at being a detective make her less good at the rest of life and less good at choosing happiness.
And she's flawed. She's complicated and flawed. She's not necessarily being a successful mother right now. She's brusque and she has a hard time with commitment and she's cagy, but underneath all that kind of weirdness and toughness, there's a really big heart that she's trying to protect.
What's interesting to me is, you could see her as the viewers see her [crash sounds on the line]. Oops.
Hello? Sorry, that was my chin. I'm sorry.
Do you have the baby with you?
Yeah, she's in my arms. Can you hear her?
I can.
She's practicing her coughing. She thinks this is a very fun game. I shifted and … OK, sorry.
No worries. Congrats by the way. I was saying that some viewers might say Sarah is not too lovable, but I do love the way that her co-workers seem to have great affection for her. And she has a good sense of humor, too. But still, a little dark, isn't she?
Yeah. I think when she is in situations where she doesn't have to try to prove herself, [she has a sense of humor]. Like with her co-workers, they know her. They know who she is, they know she's proven that she's good at what she does and so she doesn't feel any responsibility to kind of be anything that she's not. She can be her kind of best version of herself. She can show her sense of humor; she can show herself relaxed.
But when she's around people she doesn't know, like with her new partner or with the people she's interrogating about the case [she's different]. I think it's a version of shyness, that thing of, "I'm not going to like you before you can not like me." … As the show unfolds, you see her in different situations with her son, and with her fiancé and she's multi-faceted, she's not just a prickly pear.
You mentioned her partner. It appears Sarah is equally appalled and impressed by him. When he questions a male teacher about the victim, he says something really inappropriate…
Totally inappropriate, yeah.
I'm wondering, though, is she thinking, "OK, I know what you're doing, but don't do it again," or do you think she just thinks he's a loser?
I think she's saying that was really inappropriate, but effective. I think there was an acknowledgement that while it was wrong, he got an interesting job done. And while she is not willing to go there, she doesn't mind that he did.
I think it was part of what's interesting about their dynamic is that these two people are so different and they're first response is to not like each other, but both of them have to acknowledge that the other actually has instincts that are really interesting in terms of their police work.
Do you think that Sarah's kind of addicted to this work?
To the point of distraction, it seems. It's not that she's not there for her son, but she does seem to not be there…
Yeah, she's absentee a lot. And you know that word, "addiction," it's a very weighted word and I think Sarah would say to herself, "I have to earn a living. I'm a single-mother. The job asks for what it asks. I'm good at it. It requires a certain amount."
To some degree those things are true and justifiable, but I think this is a person who is capable of stepping over the line into that world of addiction where she can't walk away. Sure it's about the case and it's about being responsible to the dead, but it's also about what she's getting out of it—her own sense of making her life worth something.
And that's what it is? She feels that this is how I can make my life worth something?
I think her identity is deeply entangled in to her work.
It's interesting. She is ready to leave and move to Sonoma to get married. It is her last day and she gets sucked back in.
Yeah, she's right on the edge of leaving. And if this case hadn't shown up on that day, I think she was getting on that plane. Now how long she would have been able to stay in Sonoma and how restless she would have been, that's a different story. But I do think she planned to get on the plane and, and at least make a go of it.
Do you think that she was sort of, "All right, I'm over it?" And then she met this guy?
I think it was really wearing on her and I think she had come to a point where she was at least willing to try something else.
I love the way that in the field Sarah just takes her time and contemplates even though everyone's telling her to hurry up. Do you think that she's trying to get into the killer's head or the victim's head, or both?
Both, I think both. I think mostly the victim, but I think both. I think she identifies with the victims and that's who she is trying to be the advocate for. But she bounces back and forth.
Are we going to actually see her blow up ever, lose it? Or can you tell?
[Laughs.] Yeah, I'm not gonna tell you.
There's another great scene with her and Steven in the car he suggest she's running away from something by leaving her job. Do you think she is running away from something, or running to something?
Well, running away there are negative implications, like "You can't deal." … Maybe she's just trying to consciously step away, maybe she recognizes that there are things about this career that are not serving her anymore. She's trying to remove herself from a bad situation. I think the line has gotten really blurry for her about who the bad guys are. I spent a lot of time talking to Veena and she is fascinated with this whole world. She's spent a lot of time with undercover cops and she was saying to me that so much of the time, murders of children, especially, or a family member or a close friend of the family, it's rare that it's a really random person [who did it]. That has to just taint your view of the world, when over and over and over again, [someone close] ends up being part of the crime. It would make you really jaded.
Back to Sarah seeming to have little emotion. How has it been playing this part? Is it difficult to convey barely any emotion on the surface, yet still give her all the layers you do?
It is. I'm a pretty sunny girl, warm and full of feelings and not that afraid of sharing my feelings. There are things that I am private about, of course. But I'm very engaging, so finding the balance of sealing that off from people who Sarah would feel inappropriate to show, but still letting my emotions to be alive underneath so that she doesn't turn into a robot is a tricky balance. Before every episode I try to talk to the director about that, "Please be my eyes in terms of that balance." Like not showing too much, but also not being a robot. And they've been very helpful... I naturally have quite a bit going on. And so when I put a layer over it's hard to kill all that other stuff. And so as long as I keep the balance and the writers and the directors, we all work together to keep that balance, I think it makes Sarah an interesting person.
It does. The second part of that question is, you are acting opposite people who are showing just huge emotion. Brent Sexton and Michelle Forbes, as the victim's parents, for instance, just break my heart. Is that difficult to face?
[Laughs.] Well, everyone in the cast is so incredibly talented I just feel so lucky to get to be there and watch them do their work. They make me better; getting to seen Brent in that scene, even though I've got to put a big lid on it, I'm a better actor because I got to stand opposite of him. Everyone on the cast is fantastic, really such a wonderful group of people.
The show focuses really on the psychological effects of this murder more so than murder of the week or the "CSI"-type thing. Do you prefer that?
Oh, absolutely. Yeah. It just gives you time with the crime and with the people. The world is too condensed when you have a new crime every episode.
We had a big interrogation scene in this last episode and Joel, who plays Holder; we ended up having a really interesting conversation about the way into an interrogation scene. People who have secrets are not going to reveal those secrets easily and you have to play a kind of psychological dance. To do that truthfully, to not have it just be a stock interrogation where at the end, the person opens up, you need time. On a show where there's the responsibility of a new crime every week, there's not time to figure that out. So we're really lucky.
Did you talk to police officers or detectives?
The stills photographer on the pilot had been a homicide cop for 20 years. His hobby had been photography and now he's retired and so now he's being a TV photographer and so I just picked his brain for the entire month that we were shooting the pilot. I asked him as many questions as I could think of. And, but that's really the only research that I did.
The promos on AMC say, "Everyone has a secret." What's Sarah's secret?
I can't tell you! [Laughs.] It wouldn't be a secret anymore.
OK, I tried. I notice Sarah does not wear her hair in a braid, is that too much of a "Big Love" flashback?
It's funny, people ask me a lot like, "How do you feel about always getting cast as these girls who don't wear any makeup and just have braids or their hair pulled back in ponytails?" I always say, "I love it!" Having no responsibility to be beautiful is really awesome.
Does that mean you can sleep in; you don't have to do makeup?
Yeah, you know, my makeup artist is really great. She's doing all these kind of invisible tricks, but yes, I have much less time in the makeup chair than the girls on "Desperate Housewives."
Right, exactly. All right, so speaking of "Big Love." How was it working on that series?
Awesome, really awesome. Great cast, wonderful writing and getting to play twins is an actor's dream and I had a really wonderful time. And getting to step into that crazy world on the compound, so fun.
It was your first series regular, right?
And your second, so to speak.
[Laughs.] Yes, that's right.
Do you find that you learn things there that you use now all the time?
Yeah, totally. I come from theater and 10 years in New York and doing Broadway and doing a little TV here and there, but my stage time was so much more than my in-front-of-the-camera time. And then I came to L.A. and I was doing some guest star work and stuff, but "Big Love" is where I really got to get comfortable in front of a camera. It was my workshop.
That directly paved the way for me to be able to do the show that I'm doing now. Without my time on "Big Love," I don't know if I would have been at the right place in terms of my work to play Sarah.
All right, so Alan Ruck, your husband. I saw him on "Fringe." Every time I see him on TV when I don't expect it, I just smile.
I know. He's the best, right? He's so great.
And he has some Chicago ties. Do you guys ever come back here?
We haven't been back to Chicago. I haven't been to Chicago with him. He's from Cleveland originally, so we get to that part of the country quite a bit because his folks still live there, but he doesn't get to Chicago that often, although he has a friend who runs a theater company there, so I guess last year he went to see some shows, but not that much.
He was really fond of Chicago. He really loved his time there. When he moved to New York he was a big Chicago snob. He definitely thought Chicago was superior to New York when he first moved out.
He's in one of the all time greatest Chicago movies ever, too… ["Ferris Bueller's Day Off"]
[Laughs.] Yes, that's right.
Now that you're a parent, has your approach to acting changed?
It's a funny question. I was talking to a friend about this recently because several people told me before my daughter was born, "Oh, being a mother is going to make you so much of a better actor." And I thought, "Huh? That's an interesting thing to say. I wonder why that would be true or if that will be true." And then I was laughing with a friend last week saying, "Having my baby daughter means that I memorize at three in the morning and show up exhausted and I'm running a back to the trailer to be with her in between takes."
It's hard to say if that makes me a better actor or a worse actor, but it's what it is and my life is full and that's got to show up, I guess. Which is to say that if I had tons of time, I might overthink things. There's probably something about being exhausted and scattered that applies to playing Sarah.
Last thing; please give me your pitch for the show. Why should people tune in?
My pitch! Oh goodness. I'm going to fail miserably on a pitch! OK, I'm gonna steal from my husband. He had seen the pilot and then he read the first episode and he said, "It's so perfectly constructed because the pilot breaks your heart and the first episode blows your mind."
Nice, "And quoting Alan Ruck…"
[Laughs.] And quoting Alan Ruck, yeah.
I can't wait to see what happens. We're going to be really surprised, aren't we?
Yes, you're going to be really surprised.

Who would have imagined slavery still existed anywhere in the world in this century?
Why should state sovereignty mask human rights abuses?
We had hoped that mankind had gone beyond this act of bestiality. If anyone, like me thought this aberration had been abolished from society then you are in for a shocker! John D Sutter's CNN report, 'Slavery's Last Stronghold' shows that this practice still persists in Mauritania.
Mauritania is a West African country bordering the North Atlantic Ocean and a multiethnic society of more than 3 Million citizens of which sadly up to 20% are still said to be slaves. Slave raiding and trading has been a feature of the Mauritanian society since slave trading first occurred with
Europe and America. The descendants of these slaves are still enslaved by the descendants of their forefathers' masters; the Beydane or white Moors, the ruling caste in Mauritania.
There have been different attempts to abolish slavery in Mauritania since 1905. It was in that year that the Colonial French Administration abolished slavery in Mauritania. Subsequently in 1961, after its independence, the constitution further again declared that slavery had been
abolished. In 2007, the country made slavery criminal with a jail term of 10 years but since then only one person has been successfully prosecuted.
The Mauritanian government denies the presence of slavery within its borders but the testimony of escaped slaves tells a different story altogether. Stories of rape, starvation, poverty, death and degradation flow out of this place.
This horror is not limited to Mauritania; it exists in varying degrees in other places. Take for example, the 'Osu Caste system' in the Eastern part of Nigeria which still negatively influences many courtships and marriages. Additionally, in India, especially in the rural areas, violent clashes still occur because of the caste system.
There have been various suggestions to ending human bondage situations:
1. Allowing the international community to carry out a survey of slavery;
2. Rehabilitating freed slaves and
3. Providing legal representation for victims.
All these suggestions are valid but they are dependent on the cooperation of the Mauritanian government who in many parts has denied the existence of slavery within its territory. The doctrine of State sovereignty gives any government the authority to govern itself and
maintain law and order within its territory; it also protects it from invasion from any other state. The few exceptions to the general rule of non-intervention in the affairs of a state include cases of genocide. Should this veil of sovereignty that covers a state not be lifted in situations like this to restore some dignity to these people whose hope has been stolen, and whose fundamental human rights have been violated even though there is no outbreak of violence? The sovereignty of a state presupposes that the sovereign authority will protect the interests and rights of
every citizen. If this duty is not being discharged by the government how can these people be protected without the help of the international community?
I believe this issue in Mauritania falls within the provisions of the Genocide Convention and an intervention from the International Community is needed to put an end to it.

How much tea do you go through in a week?
I'm still a newbie to loose leaf teas. I tend to buy mine in 2-4 oz amounts. I recently fell in love with an herbal tea and figured 4 oz of it would last a while, but I seem to be halfway through it in only a few days! This led me to wonder- how much tea do you find yourself going through in, say, a week?
Wow, hard to estimate – I have close to 80 teas, and I hop around a lot to try to avoid running out of any particular one I like before I can get back to the store. Maybe 50-70g/2oz or so?
I have so many that I switch it up all the time so maybe I average 2 oz or so a week too. Never feels like it due to never really drinking the same one in a week lol
I have atleast one cup per day, sometimes up to three… so maybe 1 oz? not sure how that translates… is it the same as 15 grams?
My wife and I both enjoy tea and between us we have about 220 teas. We both take 1.5 L Thermoses to work with us 3-4 times a week, so that right there is 48g. We tend to have a morning cuppa and an evening cuppa, so there's another 28g. Finally, I try to make 2 L of iced tea 2 times a week, so there's another 25g or so. So all in all, we tend to use about 100 g of tea a week, which is roughly 4 oz, give or take.
But hey, it's better than soda!
I think my tea habit is close to that if ailing of tea's. Maybe I'll slow down eventually. I have about 14 types of tea right now not nearly as much as some of you. I boil water and put it in a 40 oz thermos. I refill it at least once and drink tea all day at work. Often, especially with dragonwell, I can use get multiple infusions from about 1 tsp of tea that last throughout the day.

What happened to the PalmOS version of ScummVM? I don't see it in the downloads section anymore. Having this available for people who still use a PalmOS device (I know it's few and far between at this point) would be great. If it's not going to be included in the downloads section, where can it be found? Thanks.
The last version using the PalmOS port has been 0.11.1, released 2008-02-29 and severely outdated. You can still download that release from https://sourceforge.net/projects/scummvm/files/
Unfortunately, the PalmOS port is not being maintained anymore, and hence is essentially dead. See also this thread.

NEW YORK (AP) — New video footage of a suspected bomber riding a blue bicycle was offered Tuesday along with a $65,000 award in an effort to generate leads in the 2008 blast at the military recruitment station in Times Square.
Photos and video will be displayed on digital billboards throughout the Northeast, including in Times Square, while the FBI and New York Police Department are offering up to $65,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for the March 6, 2008, attack, authorities said.
No one was injured in the early morning bombing at the U.S. Armed Forces Recruiting Station. Authorities said the explosive device was built using an ammunition can commonly found on battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Officials say the suspect and possible accomplices may be connected to earlier unsolved bombings at the British and Mexican consulates.
"Someone, somewhere, knows something about a bomber who's still on the run," said George Venizelos, head of the FBI's New York office. "Today we're asking for the public's assistance in finding those responsible and encouraging the public to look closely at these photos and video, which could be the key to breaking the case."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a release issued by the FBI and the police department: "While published reports have repeatedly cited the early morning time of the attack and the lack of casualties, the fact is the bomber narrowly missed killing or injuring passers-by who can be seen clearly in the vicinity, moments before the blast."
Videos of the suspect in a gray sweatshirt and pants of an unknown color were not previously viewed by the public, authorities said, and a picture of the bomb will be used to jog the memories of anyone who might know something. The videos are grainy, and the bicyclist is a tiny figure in most of them. Even the bomber's gender is unclear.
The suspect rode a blue Ross bicycle, got off his bike, placed a bomb at the station, lit a fuse and fled on the bike, authorities said.
According to the release, the suspect appeared to be working alone but might have had a lookout or surveillance team of as many as five other individuals in Times Square at the time of the attack. The bicycle was recovered after the attack in a dumpster near Madison Avenue and 38th Street.
The appeal for help comes several weeks after a Brooklyn man was jailed for refusing to testify before a grand jury apparently looking into the Times Square bombing. The man's lawyer has said he knew nothing of the attack but objected to a government probe of a political movement he has participated in.
In a separate case, Faisal Shahzad is serving a life sentence after admitting he built a car bomb he left in Times Square in May 2010 to avenge U.S. military intervention in Muslim countries. The bomb malfunctioned.

Pasos Lejanos Cesar Vallejo Analysis Essay
El poema que analizaremos llamado "Los pasos lejanos"
pertenece al poeta cesar vallejo. Tiene como personajes al yo lirico y sus padres, se siente que con el paso de los años, sabe que sus padres tendrán que afrontar la soledad, pues los hijos al ser adulos muchas veces se ven obligados a dejarlos ya sea por establecer una nueva familia o conseguir un futuro mejor. Este presente trabajo tiene como objetivo darnos a conocer que en Perú y en América Latina en general, es usual que los hijos se independicen cuando son mayores de edad, entonces investigando la biografía de cesar vallejo se sabe que tuvo que separarse de sus padres para lograr sus metas de estudio. Y comparándola con nuestra sociedad moderna, esto pasa, donde muchos de los hijos se desprenden del hogar de sus padres, por muchas circunstancias ya sea por estudio, trabajo o para construir una familia, refleja también el dolor de un hijo que no se encuentra separados, lejos de ellos.
De esta manera el poema "los pasos lejanos" se refieren a los
apacibles, dulces, benévolos y cansados pasos de sus padres, que se encuentran solos en el hogar donde una vez vieron crecer y estar junto con sus hijos como la sagrada familia unida.
One of the unique qualities of César Vallejo's poetry—one that makes his work almost impossible to confuse with that of any other poet writing in the Spanish language—is his ability to speak with the voice and sensibility of a child, whether as an individual orphaned by the breakup of a family or as a symbol of deprived and alienated human beings everywhere. Always, however, this child's voice, full of expectation and hope, is implicitly counterposed by the adult's ironic awareness of change and despair. Inseparable from these elements is the poet's forging of a language capable of reflecting the register and the peculiarly elliptical reasoning of a child and, at the same time, revealing the Hermetic complexity of the adult intellectual's quest for security in the form of truth. The poetry that is Vallejo's own answer to these problems is some of the most poignant and original ever produced.
The Black Heralds
The lines of Vallejo's subsequent development are already evident in his first volume, The Black Heralds, a collection of sixty-nine poems grouped under various subtitles. As critics have observed, many of these poems reflect his involvement with Romantic and Modernista poetry. They are conspicuous in many cases for their descriptions of idyllic scenes in a manner that juxtaposes words of the Peruvian Sierra and the vocabulary of Symbolism, including religious and erotic elements. Vallejo did not emphasize rhyme and rhythm to the extent that some Modernistas did, but most of these early poems are framed in verse forms favored by the latter, such as the Alexandrine sonnet and the silva. While demonstrating his impressive mastery of styles already worked out by others, he was also finding his own voice.
This originality is perhaps most evident in the last group of poems in The Black Heralds, titled "Canciones de Hogar" ("Home Songs"), poems dealing with the beginning of Vallejo's sense of orphanhood. In "A mi hermano Miguel in memoriam" ("To My Brother Miguel in Memoriam"), the poet relives a moment of the childhood game of hide-and-seek that he used to play with his "twin heart." Speaking to his brother, Vallejo announces his own presence in the part of the family home from which one of the two always ran away to hide from the other. He goes on to remind his playmate of one day on which the latter went away to hide, sad instead of laughing as he usually was, and could not be found again. The poem ends with a request to the brother to please come out so as not to worry "mama." It is remarkable in that past and present alternate from one line to the next. The language of childhood, as well as the poet's assumed presence at the site of the events, lends a dramatic immediacy to the scene. At the same time, the language used in the descriptive passages is clearly that of the adult who is now the poet. Yet in the last verse, the adult chooses to accept literally the explanation that the brother has remained in hiding and may finally respond and come out, which would presumably alleviate the mother's anxiety and make everything right once more. The knowledge that the poet is unable (or refuses) to face the permanent alteration of his past may elicit feelings of tragic pathos in the reader.
"Los pasos lejanos" ("The Distant Steps") recalls the poet's childhood home in which his parents, now aged, are alone—the father sleeping and the mother walking in the orchards. Here, the only bitterness is that of the poet himself, because he is now far away from them. He in turn is haunted by a vision of his parents as two old, white, and bent roads along which his heart walks. In "Enereida," he imagines that his father has died, leading to a regression in time so that the father can once again laugh at his small children, including the poet himself, who is again a schoolboy under the tutelage of the village priest.
Many of the poems in The Black Heralds deal with existential themes. While religious imagery is pervasive, it is apparent that the poet employs it to describe profane experiences. Jean Franco has shown that in speaking of "the soul's Christs" and "Marías who leave" and of Communions and Passions, Vallejo trivializes religious language rather than attempting to inflate the importance of his own experiences by describing them in religious terms. As well as having lost the security and plenitude of his childhood home, the poet has lost the childhood faith that enabled him to refer in words to the infinite.
In the title poem, "Los heraldos negros" ("The Black Heralds"), Vallejo laments life's hard blows, harder sometimes than humans can stand. He concludes that these blows come from the hatred of God, that they may be the black heralds sent by Death. In "Los dados eternos" ("The Eternal Dice"), God is a gambler throwing dice and may as easily cast death as life. In fact, Earth itself is his die. Now worn to roundness, it will come to rest only within the sepulchre. Profane love is all that is left; while the beloved may now be pure, she will not continue to be so if she yields to the poet's erotic impulses. Love thus becomes "a sinning Christ," because humankind's nature is irrevocably physical. Several poems allude to the poet's ideal of redeeming himself through brotherly love, a thematic constant in Vallejo's work, yet such redemption becomes difficult if not impossible if a person is lonely and alienated. In "Agape," the poet speaks of being alone and forgotten and of having been unable therefore to "die" for his brother. "La cena miserable" ("The Wretched Supper") tells of the enigma of existence in which humans are seen, as in "Agape," as waiting endlessly for spiritual nurture, or at least for some answer concerning the meaning of life. Here, God becomes no more than a "black spoon" full of bitter human essence, even less able than humans to provide needed answers. The lives of humans are thus meaningless, since they are always separated from what they most desire—whether this be the fullness of the past, physical love, God's love, or brotherly love.
Even in the poems most laden with the trappings of Modernismo, Vallejo provides unusual images. In "El poeta a su amada" ("The Poet to His Beloved"), he suggests that his kiss is "two curved branches" on which his beloved has been "crucified." Religious imagery is used with such frequency that it sometimes verges on parody, and critics agree that in playing with language in this way Vallejo is seeking to highlight its essential ambiguity, something he continues to do in Trilce and Human Poems, even while totally abandoning the imagery of Modernismo. Such stripping away of excess baggage is already visible in The Black Heralds. Antitheses, oxymorons, and occasional neologisms are also to be noted. While the great majority of the poems are elegantly correct in terms of syntax—in marked contrast to what is to become the norm in Trilce—there are some instances of linguistic experimentation, as when nouns are used as adjectives. In "The Distant Steps," for example, the mother is described as being "so soft, so wing, so departure, so love." Another device favored by the poet in all his later poems—enumeration—is also present. Finally, traditional patterns of meter and rhyme are abandoned in "Home Songs," with the poetic emotion being allowed to determine the form.
Despite these formal adumbrations and although The Black Heralds is not a particularly transparent work, there is little in it to prepare the reader for the destruction of language in the Hermetic density of Trilce, which came along only three years later. These were difficult years for the poet, in which he lost his mother, separated from Otilia, and spent what he was later to refer to as the gravest moments of his life in the Trujillo jail. All the anguish of these events was poured into the seventy-seven free-verse poems of his second major work. If he suffered existentially in The Black Heralds and expressed this suffering in writing, it was done with respect for traditional verse forms and sentence structure, which hinted at an order beyond the chaos of the poet's interior world. In Trilce, this order falls. Language, on which "logical assumptions" about the world are based, is used in such a way as to reveal its hollowness: It, too, is cut loose and orphaned. Abrupt shifts from one metaphorical sphere to another make the poems' internal logic often problematic.
A hint of what is to come is given in the title, a neologism usually taken to be a hybrid of tres (three) and dulce (sweet), an interpretation that is in accord with the poet's concern about the ideal number expressed in several poems. It is not known, however, what, if any, concrete meaning the poet had in mind when he coined the word; it has become a puzzle for readers and critics to solve. It is notable that in "interpreting" the Trilce poems, critics often work out explications that seem internally consistent but that turn out to be related to a system diametrically opposed to the explication and system of some other critic. It is possible, however, to say with certainty that these poems deal with a struggle to do something, bridge something, and say something. Physical limits such as the human body, time, space, and numbers often render the struggle futile.
Two of the thematic sets of Trilce for which it is easiest to establish concrete referents are those dealing with the poet-as-child and those dealing with his imprisonment. In poem III, the poet once again speaks in the voice of a child left at home by the adults of the family. It is getting dark, and he asks when the grown-ups will be back, adding that "Mama said she wouldn't be gone long." In the third stanza, an ironic double vision of years full of agonizing memories...

: : : The sentence is strange because "to catch in something" means to become stuck inside something. A piece of paper can become caught in the mechanism of a copy machine. But a face can't enclose a web. However, "A spider's web caught his face" would be wrong because it would mean the web held his face still, kept it from moving. Webs catch flies, but they aren't strong enough to catch faces.
: : When you get caught in a spider web your face is covered in web stuff which sticks to your face making you pick at it piece by piece to remove it. I think that the word "caught", in the sentence cited, can mean "encumber".
: I would have made it "a spider web caught ON his face", rather than IN. That way, some facial feature (for example, his nose) could have bumped into the web.
: So it may just be an unspotted typo, I rather than O.
What about the first question? How to explain the first 'over'? Could we remove it?

This chapter describes how to integrate online hlep with the ADF Faces application and how to register OHW-RC as a help provider.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 20.2, "Integrating Online Help With ADF Faces Application"
Section 20.3, "Registering OHW-RC as an ADF Rich Client Help Provider"
If you have an ADF Faces application and wish to incorporate online help into your application, ADF Faces, also known as ADF Rich Client, provides an easy way to do that. You can create an online help system with help topics which are integrated with components of the application.
This chapter describes how to configure OHW-RC as a help provider, lists other ADF Rich Client help providers, and also describes how to use HelpTopicId attribute to associate help topics with your application.
When you integrate a help topic with an ADF Faces component, a help icon (a blue circle with a question mark) appears with the component. When you click the help icon, the related help topic appears in a new window, as shown in Figure 20-1.
Figure 20-1 Help Icon in an ADF Faces Application
Integrating an online help with an application is an easy process, descibed in the following steps:
Register a help provider with your application
Create a properties file that contains the topic ID and help text for each help topic
Associate the UI components with help topics by using the HelpTopicId attribute
For more information about integrating online help with an application, see "Displaying Help for Components" section in Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.
ADF Rich Client Faces includes a variety of help providers. You can use a combination of the different help providers or create your own help provider class. You can also use OHW-RC as a help provider.
You need to perform the following tasks in order to set up OHW-RC as a Help Provider in an ADF Rich Client application:
Deploy OHW-RC as a web application:
Deploy an RC application to web application server.
Note down the context-root of this deployment.
Open the
web.xml file in this deployment.
Find the OHW-RC servlet instance.
Develop the jspx Web pages.
Create an ADF Faces-based Web application.
Create a jspx Web page; for some components (input*, select*, etc), where you can find an attribute named
helpTopicId, specify the ID you want to display with your OHW-RC instance.
Copy the helpsets into a direcotry under your
<application_root>/public_html folder. For example, let's name this directory
Set up the
adf-settings.xml file.
Navigate to your application's directory, and look for the
.adf/META-INF/ directory. Under that directory you can find the
adf-settings.xml file. If the
.adf/META-INF directory is not present, create the
META-INF directory under the
ViewController/src directory.
Enter code into
adf-settings.xml; for example:
<adf-settings xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/settings"> <help-provider> <help-provider-class>oracle.help.web.rich.helpProvider.OHWHelpProvider</help-provider-class> <property> <property-name>ohwConfigFileURL</property-name> <value>/helpsets/ohwconfig.xml</value> </property> <!--property> <property-name>group</property-name> <value>null</value> </property--> <property> <property-name>baseURI</property-name> <value>http://localhost:8989/help-ohw-rcf-context-root/ohguide/</value> </property> </help-provider> </adf-settings>
In this
adf-settings.xml file:
If you want to use OHW-RC as your help provider, then, in this
adf-settings.xml file, the class has to be
Set the
ohwConfigFileURL property to point to your
/helpsets/ohwconfig.xml. Noe that you created the
helpsets directory in Step 3.
You can also specify
ohwConfigURL using the
prop system property. For example, in
web.xml, the
ohwConfigURL would be configured as:
<param-name>ohwConfigFileURL</param-name> <param-value>file:///{%prop}/help/ohwconfig.xml</param-value>
adf-settings.xml, the
ohwConfigURL would be configured as:
<property> <property-name>ohwConfigFileURL</property-name> <value>file:///{%prop}/help/ohwconfig.xml</value> </property>
prop property is predefined, or specified, by starting Oracle WebLogic Server with
-Dprop option. For example,
The group property specifies the group name (which you want to use in the help provider) in your
ohwconfig.xml file.
baseURI property specifies the server host, the context root, and the OHW-RC servlet instance of the RCF application that you deployed in Step 1.
To associate a help topic with an ADF component, you must assign the help topic's unique id as the HelpTopicId attribute's value. The HelpTopicId attribute is available in the Appearance section of Property Inspector.
Before associating a help topic with a component, ensure that you have registered a help provider with your application. To register OHW-RC as a help provider, see Section 20.3, "Registering OHW-RC as an ADF Rich Client Help Provider".
For more information about HelpTopicId attribute, see "Displaying Help for Components" section in Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.
Two common ADF Rich Client help providers are
ResourceBundleHelpProvider and
ELHelpProvider. The
ResourceBundleHelpProvider help provider allows you to create resource bundles. These resource bundles are containers of your help files, control files, graphics, and other related files. The
ELHelpProvider help provider allows you to create XLIFF files. The XLIFF files get converted into maps, or create a managed bean that contains a map of help text strings.
For more information about these and other help providers, see "Displaying Help for Components" section in Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.

Inmate listed as escaped returns to halfway houseUnion Leader Staff
January 21. 2018 8:46PM
CONCORD — A female inmate reported missing at the Shea Farm Transitional Housing Unit returned to the facility about a half-hour after she was placed on escape status, the New Hampshire Department of Corrections said Sunday.
Valerie Jean Charest, 28, formerly of Derry, had not returned from work as of 8:30 p.m. Saturday and was listed as escaped.
Charest arrived at the transitional housing facility around 9 p.m. and was taken to the New Hampshire Correctional Facility for Women in Goffstown, the Department of Corrections said in a news release on Sunday.
Charest was sentenced last March to serve a one- to two-year prison term for theft by unauthorized taking.
She was eligible for parole this Feb. 8; her maximum release date was Feb. 8, 2019, officials said.

CHESTER, Ill. (AP) - Republican Jason Plummer soon will know who he'll be facing in the race for a southern Illinois congressional seat.
A selection panel on Saturday was to interview as many as 10 Democratic hopefuls for the ballot spot abandoned last month when nominee Brad Harriman abandoned the 12th Congressional District race last month for medical reasons.
The panel includes Democratic heads of the district's 12 counties. After the public interviews, panel members will decide who Harriman's replacement will be.
Only two men, both Democrats, have represented the 12th District since World War II. The seat's current holder, Rep. Jerry Costello, is not seeking re-election.
The district stretches from the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis to the state's southernmost tip and encompasses a large swath of chronically economically stressed territory.

The art of the sandwich: Wrap City set to open first franchise locationsBy RYAN LESSARD
Union Leader Correspondent
May 25. 2018 8:48PM
LONDONDERRY — The first Wrap City opened in a Nashua Road strip mall in 2015, another two years later in Amherst, and now founders Peter Ackerman and Gregg Ryan are about to see two franchise stores open.
The new franchise in Tilton is located just past the outlets across from the Hampton Inn on a previously empty lot and is set to open next week. Another Wrap City franchise will open in a former Subway location at Epping's Brickyard Square by the end of June.
The sandwich shops offers a big menu with a diverse selection of wraps, sandwiches and flatbreads. They offer Reubens, BLTs, cheesesteaks, Cuban sandwiches and vegetarian wraps.
Ten percent of the proceeds from one of their sandwiches — "The Warrior" — goes to the Robert Irvine Foundation, which provides direct assistance to veterans and first responders. Each store also has a wooden flag from Flags of Valor, a veteran-owned company.
"We recognized there was a certain gap in the sandwich concepts that were out there," Ryan said.
He said most sandwich shops offer the same handful of basic ingredients, and those that do make unique or speciality sandwiches often don't have a lot of other options.
Ackerman, who owns two restaurants in Boston, including Renegades Pub, said the Wrap City concept was meant to be scalable and easy to duplicate.
"The plan all along was to build a franchisable model," Ackerman said.
The original location in Londonderry began as a rehabilitation of a sub shop there called the Wrap Shack. After months of wrangling with the landlord over unpaid rent, the prior tenant stripped the business and disappeared, Ryan said.
Ackerman and Ryan entered into a lease agreement and decided to create the Wrap City concept they'd been discussing for years. They currently sell about 3,000 sandwiches a week out of Londonderry and Amherst. Each store sees about 1,000 customers a week. They also make hundreds of sandwiches and wraps through their catering business.
The business partners invested about $40,000 and a lot of time and personal labor to open the first store, and took out a $100,000 loan from Provident Bank in Bedford to open the second store, they said. Since then, they've reinvested about another $15,000 in Londonderry to remodel and upgrade equipment.
Ryan said the concept is unique enough to be located next to anything out there in the market and compete. They're eyeing Portsmouth, south Nashua and parts of Massachusetts for future locations.
Franchising rules are being ironed out, but the barrier to entry is low, Ackerman and Ryan said. The cost is in the range of $120,000 to $400,000, with a franchise fee of $25,000, they said.
The company also makes its own potato chips and has begun selling them wholesale to a few grocery stores and delicatessens, Ryan said.
The hope is to grow beyond New England.
"We want Wrap City to be a national and international brand," said Ackerman.

Each year in the late summer, college administrators begin fretting over where their school will fall in the annual rankings of the country's most elite institutions. They know that students and their parents place a lot of faith in those lists.
But national experts have been pushing for schools, parents and students to move away from the "pop culture" rankings toward other ratings they say more accurately reflect a university's ability to shepherd students through to graduation.
The vast majority of the criticism is directed toward U.S. News & World Report, whose annual listing of the nation's universities has risen to the top of the heap. Critics argue that the online magazine uses methodology that has more to do with prestige than academic quality.
U.S. News ranks schools based on many of the traditional measures including graduation rates, student retention and faculty-to-student ratio. But the publication also rates schools on how much cash they raise from alumni, the amount of money spent on facilities and how they are viewed by peer institutions.
Some of the latter criteria have led to the perception that colleges can figuratively "buy" higher rankings by raising a lot of cash and spending it.
State Commissioner of Higher Education Jim Purcell down played some of those critiques this week as overblown. He defended the U.S. News rankings as using the "right range" of criteria to give prospective students a good idea of a school's merits.
As controversial as they have become, there is little question that the U.S. News rankings matter. Louisiana Tech University was one of two public colleges in the state to be ranked by U.S. News as a Tier One school. In September, Tech President Dan Reneau credited "the tireless efforts and dedication of our faculty and staff" as contributing to Tech's tie for 199th, or last place, on the "Best National Universities" list.
On the same day, LSU System President and Baton Rouge Chancellor William Jenkins said he was "clearly disappointed" to learn that LSU had tumbled six spots from 128th last year to 134th in the U.S. News "Best Colleges 2013" list. Tulane University, ranked at 51, was the only other Louisiana school ranked in the national universities list.
Jenkins last week acknowledged that schools have to pay close attention to U.S. News rankings because high school students and their parents pay attention to them.
"U.S. News is not the most refined, but it's important because it's well-known. In a pure world, we wouldn't pay so much attention," Jenkins said.
Robert Kelchen argues that students and schools would be better off paying attention to rankings using a formula that he helped devise. The doctoral candidate in educational policy studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison analyzes "which schools give the most bang for the buck." His formula is used by the Washington Monthly magazine in their annual college rankings.
Kelchen said his formula looks at the SAT and ACT scores of incoming students; student population; the number of students who qualify for federal financial aid; and the number of students attending school full-time versus part-time. He uses those factors to come up with a university's "expected graduation rate." The expected graduation rate is compared to the school's actual graduation rate and tuition costs to come up with a ranking.
Kelchen explains that his criteria takes into account which students are most vulnerable to not finishing school. For instance, low-income students are less likely than their peers to finish school; women are more likely to graduate than men; and students with lower test scores are less likely to make it all the way through graduation.
Douglas Harris collaborated with Kelchen on the formula. The associate economics professor at Tulane University said their formula rewards schools that graduate more students than expected, and at a reasonable price.
He said other rankings, including U.S. News, can more easily be manipulated by spending.
Colleges know they can boost themselves, so there's no incentive to keep costs down," he said. "With our rankings, we look at value, the relationship of what you get and what you paid for it."
As the state's point man for higher education, Purcell argued that most of the rankings out there have some value and that schools should pay attention to them.
He also defended the controversial alumni donations as an important component in ranking schools.
"Alumni giving is an important measure because it's an indication of whether people liked the institution. It's not how much you give, but your willingness to give," that's telling, he said.
LSU's Nicole Baute Honorée, said out of all the rankings out there, only one matters — the National Science Foundation's which measures research expenditures. As LSU's director of research and economic development initiatives, she said the National Science Foundation rankings give a broad look at a university's academic growth over time, she said.
The amount of money a university spends on research is a good measure of the value it is creating to students, Honorée said. The money spent on research shows whether a university is growing academically. Academic growth on a university's part translates to student achievement, she said.
"Universities are in the knowledge business. As in creating new knowledge and passing it along," she said. "That's why the NSF rankings are the gold standard."

Aiden was there in the middle of the night, or later because Sam said the sun was coming up soon!! Patrick is a doctor and brings Emma to the hospital for a stomach ache. :handsup: ahahaha she called Robin a Battle Ax!!
Mac Daddy was on, my favorite part!! That last scene with them was so telling *sobbing*
FRANCO said "Wuzzy Words" and I KNOW he was meaning WUBBY WORDS LOL!! cause he loves me so much... :)
Strippers at Jake's... they call Johnny "JZ" now! LMAO... Okay.... and why aren't they stripping?! Did you see the "gloves" on the table in the corner? I guess it can't be Mac stalking the girls.
Franco's DVD to Carly cracked me up: FATHERS.....FATHERS....... woooooooooo woooo

Duh. Really Patrick? A tummy ache and you bring her in?? Was the ER closed? Or was this suppose to be a chemistry test between you and new looney Lisa?
Bringing Emma in was as brilliant as Lulu running out the door of Dantes house to the hospital yesterday.
Thank you for not showing Sonny & his 'closet' scene. I dread that as much as I dread going to the OBGYN.
Let's talk about the serial freak.
Was that him sitting at the table?
Certainly wasn't Jason. Kinda looked like the back of the Grasshopper. Or am I looking for it to be??

I have found a way that I can continue to watch GH (I think).
After Brenda left, which broke my heart (more, it seems, than Sonny's), I wanted to give up the show but couldn't. I wanted my S & B happy ending!
So, in my mind, the real GH ended when S & B got married. This big mess, where everything is dark and everyone we care about is leaving, is something else, it's not our GH, it's kind of a dark "evil twin" show that spun off from the real show. If I tell myself this, then it's not as painful to watch the rewrites of history, the demise of the characters, etc., etc.
Well, I'm not into deluding myself, but this really ISN'T the GH I've known and loved all these years. . . .

The hospital: Maggie the superhero!! UGH! She is there for Lucky and Emma! Oh so Olivia ISN'T pregnant. Then why do you keep getting dizzy and almost passing out!?!?! Maggie don't insult Robin! Who do you think you are?!!?!?! Lucky and Ethan scene. :) They hugged awww! Lucky snorted as he was laughing hahaha! Enough of Yucky Mucky (Maggie and Lucky) There is no reason!!!
Jake's: Wow! JZ saved the day! :) The girls call him JZ Hahaha! Who is that mystery guy? Franco? Hey Coleman is there! :) Abby and Johnny should be a couple. :)
Carly's house: Ewwww Franco wants to tuck Joss in?! GROSS! Can Jason kill him now please? I'm so done with Franco.
Robin and Mac: Robin is at the bridge that her and Stone used to be at. And it's also the bridge that her and Jason used to be at too. :) Great Robin and Mac scene!!! She thinks she is gonna die and he won't let her! :'(
- November 30, 2011 at 8:50 PM
I am almost starting to think they are making so much of Robin dying that they don't really intend to have it happen. Wasn't there a spoiler awhile back about Patrick getting shot protecting her? This is a far-fetched theory, but perhaps he dies and she goes out of the country for treatment? I know that's pushing it, but people will be outraged if/when they kill her and it's impossible to miss that being where they are driving the story right now. It all seems to predictable at the moment, it's making me second guess things.
Hearing Stone say "I can see you Robin, I can see you" at the end of the show, the very last words he spoke to her, nearly made me cry. =(
- November 30, 2011 at 9:11 PM
"It all seems to predictable at the moment" ---> It all seems too predictable at the moment.
- November 30, 2011 at 9:12 PM
I saw bits and pieces of today's GH...
The Mac and Robin scenes were the highlight as a long time viewer. I wonder if the writers were aiming to have some sort of focus for World AIDS Day which is Thursday? Maybe giving them too much credit.
The Patrick and Maggie scenes annoyed me...I kept having Lisa flashbacks during them. I wish they'd hire one new doc that doesn't have issues! Robin isn't even gone yet and they seemed to be chem testing!
Franco...this stuff is getting way creepy. Well, it was said Wolfie likes dark and depressing.
Will have to try to watch more clearly tonight. Have a feeling I am not missing much!

P.S. Didn't Patrick take a bullet for Robin during the Black/White Ball?? Or was that something else? I thought he did..Maybe I just remember the rumor..
- November 30, 2011 at 11:14 PM
Actually wasn't it the nurse he had a quasi-relationship going on with at the time who took a bullet for Patrick at the Black & White Ball? Leyla, I think her name was.

AntJoan...I stopped liking GH when Brenda came back. IMO the show went from bad to worse with her return. Happy to see her gone. However, she show still sucks the life out of me!!!
Sonya...about time you jumped on the ban wagon here...
NOT liking Maggie at all. She is very comfortable there for being such a new employee. Forget Maggie & Lucky, even she can't get JJ to stay.
So does Uncle Mac know about Robin? That is where I got lost.
- December 1, 2011 at 8:09 AM
- My2Cents2 said...
Adora..that is a possibility. I did read months ago that she leaves to go live with Anna. Hopefully she doesn't die and they write her getting sick & then better and leaving!!!!!
No DEATH for Robin!!!!!
I did enjoy her & Uncle Mac scenes. Two VETS who were a part of GH when GH was GH!!
Patrick & Maggie scenes were 'sickening'. Not only because why would a Dr bring in his child for a upset stomach?? Made no sense. All I show was trouble with Lisa. I mean Maggie.
DIE FRANCO DIE!!!! ICK!!!! Shower time after watching him. And NOT the 'cold shower' either!!!!

I'm beginning to think there is a method to the madness of tptb. They are making us long time GH fans so disappointed in the writing and the show that there will be no outcry when it's canned.

There is no reason to have Maggie there especially after she wore that clown costume and spied on everyone on Halloween. Not normal behavior. Loved Lucky and Ethan, and especially loved the Robin/Mac scene. This all did come out of nowhere though. That may have been Franco sitting at Jakes, or Michael, Spinelli, too small for Ronnie, Luke or Patrick. Could be Dante, Sonny or Anthony.

I agree LindaV. There is no reason for Maggie to be at hospital after the crap she pulled in a clowns outfit.

Sonya...about time you jumped on the ban wagon here...NOT liking Maggie at all. She is very comfortable there for being such a new employee.
Hahaha what do you mean it's about time? I was never in love with the character. :) Yeah she does nothing for me.
Forget Maggie & Lucky, even she can't get JJ to stay.
Yeah so true! She couldn't! I wouldn't want him to stay just to have Lucky have a relationship with her UGH!

Sonya when I told you to jump on the band wagon, it was because you hadn't posted anything for the day yet! I await YOUR 2cents!!!
I don't like Lisa Jr.

Ohhhhh okay. :) Well, we have to wait until 3:00 to see how GH is today. :)
I don't like Lisa Jr.

Yeah me neither.
What about Uncle Mac, do you think he knows?
I don't know. Maybe. The way Robin was talking, Mac was talking to her about not letting her die. :( Maybe Mac was reading between the lines.

It bears repeating that the limited distribution availability fits with Valve's primary objective in porting Steam to linux - enabling an Ubuntu-Linux-based Steambox. It remains to be seen if Valve will provide packages for other distributions, but I won't be shocked if they don't - or if they do as Dropbox, Skype and Google have done, and provide packages only for the latest Ubuntu and Fedora distributions. So users of slightly more obscure distributions (I'm using Mint/Debian here at school) are S.O.L., and can probably expect to be so for a while.
In the grand OSNews tradition, now that I've said a few words about what is ostensibly the topic, I'd like to take a moment to prance, preen and provoke.
As of right now, getting actual games to work will require installing the proprietary drivers for your platform. There are several possible reasons that this could be the case, among them that the proprietary drivers are known to offer slightly higher 3D performance. However, I strongly suspect that there is one major reason for the requirement; on most platforms, the closed-source drivers will provide a GL3+ context, while the open-source drivers still provide a GL2.1 context.
This should be an embarrassment for all parties concerned; we (by which I mean, the community of Linux users, developers and enthusiasts; I am not a developer or distributor) are still shipping on modern systems a graphics API that is now six years old, and that was superseded four years ago. I had to check Wikipedia for my chronology; GL2.1 was 2006, and 3.0 was 2008. GL4.3 is the current standard. And yet, on the shiney, new Fedora 18 install I set up a few days ago, I get GL2.1, in spite of my somewhat-recent Radeon 6650.
This in particular points up Gallium's failure to live up to its promise. The entire point, as far as I understood it, of moving to Gallium was to avoid replicating the OpenGL interface layer across all drivers needlessly; the idea was that, once there was an OpenGL3 state tracker, all Gallium drivers would be able to use it, and we'd all get OpenGL3 cheaply. That clearly has not happened.

Overview and HistorySt. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna can be described in an array of superlatives...
it is a moving place of worshipit is a world famous cultural heritage site and monumentthat stands up confidently to international comparisonit is the national emblem of Austria anda symbol of Austrian identity it is a top class tourist attraction As well as having its cultural significance, St. Stephen's Cathedral is also of course a church: Seven services are held on weekdays and ten on Sundays. Always wonderfully decorated, the cathedral church of St. Stephen's becomes particularly busy with churchgoers on high feast days such as Easter, Whitsun and Christmas, etc.Services of general interest (marriages, requiem services of important public figures, etc.) are often broadcast live on television. On these special occasions and on high feast days, the Pummerin can be heard ringing in the services.The building and the cultural asset that is St. Stephen's Cathedral has been the subject of many books, picture books and studies, etc. The uniqueness of this cathedral and the countless thousands of details of which it is comprised make St. Stephen's a treasure trove of art history and architecture. Altars, portals, towers, columnar figures, pictures: each detail has its own purpose, background and history. St. Stephen's Cathedral was severely damaged by fire in the last days of the Second World War and virtually reduced to rubble. But with seemingly everyone lending a hand, the cathedral was rebuilt in just seven years: the emblem of Austria and symbol of Austrian identity had risen once more from the ashes.To preserve this cultural heritage site for the next generations and to prevent the building from falling into disrepair, St. Stephen's Cathedral must continue to be carefully restored.With almost three million visitors to Vienna a year St. Stephen's Cathedral is the number one attraction in the city: Tours in and around the Cathedral feature plenty of worthwhile things to see and lots of interesting information. You can also climb up St. Stephen's Cathedral (South Tower, Türmer Stube), take the lift up to the Pummerin (North Tower), or go down into the catacombs. Detailed information about the cathedral is offered on the guided tours.

Nemours offers a pediatric voice program, specifically designed for children whose voice quality is affected by medical or behavioral problems. We take a team approach to provide special diagnostic testing that can assess voice box and vocal cord function and determine the cause of your child's voice problem.
The most common symptom we see is chronic hoarseness, typically the result of calluses (called nodules) on the vocal cords. These nodules may be caused by misuse or overuse of the vocal cords (screaming, speaking in a strained voice, repetitive coughing or throat clearing), or by an underlying medical problem (such as vocal cord paralysis, GERD, sinusitis, or allergies).

Helicopter egg drop set for Easter SundayBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
March 27. 2013 8:55PM
At three locations in New Hampshire and Maine on Sunday, helicopters will fly over fields dropping Easter eggs full of treats for children.
It is the fourth year Next Level Church has hosted the Helicopter Egg Drop and the third year it has kept the locations secret until the day of the event.
The simultaneous egg drops will be held near Next Level Churches in Newington, Epping and Portland, Maine, about 30 minutes after services end. Admission is free, but children will only receive a ticket to the event when they attend that morning's services, where the secret drop location will be revealed.
The first year Next Level hosted the event, about 3,000 people registered but close to 12,000 people showed up.
"It was a great event, but we wanted to make sure that going forward there were no concerns for anybody," executive pastor Daniel King said.
"If we don't have a secret location, people will show up that didn't sign up," he added.
King said church officials have been asked many times if the requirement to attend services that day is a "trick" to get people to go to church.
"It would be dishonest for us to say the idea isn't that we want people to know God cares about them and we want them to come to church, but it is not a manipulation or a trick," he said. "We really think that they'll like it, and the people who come really do like it," King said.
Last year's drops took place at the Hampton Airfield, Endicott Park in Danvers, Mass., and Payson Park in Portland, Maine.

Current Students
Expectations and Responsibilities Policy
Master's Students
This page outlines the principles governing graduate education in Arts, Sciences and Engineering at the University of Rochester.
Graduate Student Policies and Procedures
Policies and procedures governing graduate students at the University of Rochester can be found in the Graduate Bulletin. Additional policies for graduate students in Arts, Sciences and Engineering (AS&E) can be found on the AS&E Graduate Studies website. Students should discuss departmental or program-specific policies with their program director of graduate studies (DGS). Students should be aware of and comply with all University, AS&E and departmental policies governing their program.
Master's Student Expectations
As with most worthwhile endeavors, success in graduate study cannot be guaranteed and often depends on the mutual efforts of faculty and student. Master's students may reasonably expect the following support in their program. The exact way in which these goals may be met can vary, depending on the program and the department.
- Resources: To receive appropriate resources, including reasonable access to appropriate course offerings to meet the student's approved program of study and facilities to allow the student to complete the program.
- Guidance: To receive advice and direction regarding the student's academic program.
- Expectations: To be informed of the expectations, including timelines, for the successful completion of any potential non-course duties, such as research projects, teaching assignments, and thesis work.
- Evaluation: To receive timely and fair assessment of the student's work, including course work, program exams and (potentially) research and teaching assignments.
- Support services: To be provided with professional and personal development support services if requested, such as those offered by the Career Center, Disability Services, Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and access to English as a Second Language Instruction (for a fee), that enhance the student's professional and academic experience.
- Professional development: To be provided with opportunities to attend colloquia and seminars and, in appropriate cases, to publish the student's research.
- Non-discrimination and non-harassment: To be treated in a fair, impartial, and professional manner in all dealings in accordance with university policies governing discrimination and harassment (as per the University of Rochester Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment).
- Collegiality: To have a collegial, welcoming environment in which to pursue the student's graduate studies, where students are respected as valuable members of the community.
- Fair treatment: To be given appropriate credit for the student's work and provided clear guidelines on authorship, data ownership and research practices when engaged in joint research projects.
- Conflict of interest: To receive appropriate instruction about conflicts of interest so the student can avoid being placed in a situation that creates a conflict of interest (see the UR Guidelines on Research Integrity and Conflict of Interest for Graduate Students Policy).
- Policies: To receive guidelines on academic policies and procedures, as found in the Graduate Bulletin, on the AS&E Graduate Studies website and provided by the student's program.
- Feedback: to be provided feedback on performance and given clear guidelines on the required areas of improvement when performance is deemed poor and the student is in jeopardy of being removed from the program.
- Appeal: In ways prescribed by University policies, to have the opportunity to petition for an exemption to an existing policy, to appeal decisions related to policies and procedures, and to issue a complaint when standards of fairness may have been violated.
Master's Student Responsibilities
Master's students are responsible for working towards completion of their degree programs in a timely manner. It is the student's responsibility to ensure continued progress of his or her academic program. Students have a responsibility for the following aspects of their program.
- Timeframes: To work effectively towards completion of the degree in a timely manner.
- Academics: To successfully complete a program of study consisting of the number of credit hours specified by the departmental requirements.
- Thesis (for Plan A students only): To discover and pursue a unique topic of research in order to construct new knowledge.
- Integrity and ethics: To assume the highest integrity and maintain ethical standards in all aspects of the student's work, including course work and research, especially in the tasks of collecting, analyzing, and presenting research data and in writing reports or essays. Special care should be taken to follow guidelines established by the University's independent review boards for research, such as the Research Subjects Review Board (RSRB).
- Laboratory notebooks: Where applicable, to maintain detailed, organized and accurate laboratory notebooks and records. When a student leaves the lab, the notebook and all research data remain the property of the laboratory.
- Teaching: Where applicable, to take teaching duties seriously and to use all teaching experiences to enhance the student's effectiveness as an instructor.
- Work environment: To help maintain a clean and safe work environment, including, but not limited to classroom spaces, laboratory spaces and common spaces.
- Collegiality: To promote collegiality and a welcoming environment in all aspects of the student's program, ensuring that all students, faculty and staff are treated with respect.
- Familiarity with policies: To take responsibility for keeping informed of and complying with regulations and policies and to complete all required paperwork and other degree obligations in a timely fashion (policies and important deadlines). Note that individual programs may have additional policies, and it is the student's responsibility to understand and comply with these policies as well.
- Effort: To devote full time and effort towards completing degree requirements (for full-time students). Students are expected to be on campus and completing degree requirements during the academic semester. Students away from campus for an extended period during any academic semester (e.g., for field research) must register in Absentia for the semester.
- Employment: Not to simultaneously be employed full-time while maintaining full-time student status, unless it is an internship related to the student's academic program and supported by the student's advisor, the program Director of Graduate Studies and the Dean of Graduate Studies. International students must discuss with the International Services Office (ISO) any special rules and regulations for internships and part-time employment.

Westhampton Congregational Church Records
The Congregational Church in Westhampton, Mass., was formally organized on Sept. 1, 1779, with the installation of a young graduate of Yale, Enoch Hale, brother of the patriot Nathan Hale. At the end of Hale's fifty years in the Westhampton pulpit, the church experienced a crisis that resulted in the separation of a portion of the membership as the Union Church, led by the charismatic evangelical preacher John Truair. The churches were reunited in 1850.
The records of the Westhampton Congregational Church document nearly two hundreds of religious life in a rural western Massachusetts community. Beginning with the founding of the church in 1779, the collection include a nearly unbroken record of church activities including thorough records of membership, transfers, marriages, baptisms, deaths, and church discipline, and for the latter century, a complete record of church finances. Of particular note is a volume recording the activities of the secessionist Union Church, 1829-1849.

COLUMBUS, Ga - Georgia Southwestern extended their losing streak to seven games Saturday afternoon as Columbus State used a balanced all-around effort to prevail over the Lady Hurricanes, 75-54, in CSU's Lumpkin Center.
In the first period, GSW's cold shooting helped Columbus State jump out to an 18-2 lead eight minutes into the game. The tandem of Chatil Bradford and Taren White combined for 18 first-half points as the Lady Cougars led at the break, 35-24.
In the second half, it was CSU forward Candice Edmundson's turn to shine for the Lady Cougars.
The 5-foot-10 forward notched 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in the second half as the Lady 'Canes couldn't get any closer than nine points the rest of the way.
Columbus State forced 22 Southwestern turnovers which led to 28 points for the Lady Cougars who improved to 10-8, 6-5 in the Peach Belt Conference.
Kabrina Merriweather led GSW with 14 points and eight rebounds while Kayla Dayton chipped in 13 for the Blue & Gold.
Taren White's 17 points led the charge for Columbus State as four players finished in double figures for the Lady Cougars.
Georgia Southwestern drops to 3-15, 1-10 PBC and returns to the court for a much needed home contest versus Lander Wednesday for a 5:30 p.m. contest.

The virus causing your cold sore may put you at risk for something more insidious: Lower cognitive abilities.
In a study of 1,625 people, researchers at Columbia University measured specific antibodies to common infectious agents in each person's blood, and using this information, created an "infectious burden index." Participants higher on the infectious burden index were more likely to have worse cognition, or cognitive abilities.
The study, published Monday in the journal Neurology, further suggests a link between cognitive decline and herpesviridae viral infections in particular, which previous studies have also linked to Alzheimer's disease and risk of stroke, an accompanying editorial notes. Herpesviridae is a family of viruses including HSV-1 or herpes simplex virus-1, which causes cold sores and can cause genital herpes, and HSV-2, which commonly causes genital herpes.
For the study, researchers tracked participants for eight years, giving them tests to measure cognition each year, but found no link between decline in abilities and viral infections over that period. The associated decline occurred before the study even began; the participants infectious burden index score did not make that person more or less likely to experience cognitive decline over the course of the study.
Only physical activity significantly reduced the association between infectious burden and cognitive decline, researchers found.
A study starting with younger participants - this study's average was 69 years old - and over a longer period may reveal more about how the decline progresses over time, says Dr. Mira Katan, the lead study author.
"While this association needs to be further studied, the results could lead to ways to identify people at risk of cognitive impairment and eventually lower that risk," said Katan in a statement.
"For example, exercise and childhood vaccinations against viruses could decrease the risk for memory problems later in life."
"This is a fascinating area which certainly deserves a treatment trial," says Dr. Timo Strandberg, author of the editorial, from the Department of Medicine, geriatric clinic, at the University of Helsinki (Finland) and University Hospital in Helsinki. "We are currently planning one... just remember what a paradigm change there was in ulcer disease in the 1980s. Of course this could have great potential if proved to be right. Nevertheless, old age AD (Alzheimer's disease) is a multifactorial geriatric syndrome (in my opinion), so several factors are contributing at the individual level."
However, said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the preventive medicine department at Vanderbilt University's School of Medicine, "They cannot impute causal associations, these are just interesting phenomenon."
"My concerns are, who are these people who are drawn into these studies? Because they're not a representative population," says Schaffner, who was not involved in the research. "They of course have had a dropout rate, so I'm just very cautious about what we can conclude from this association."
But Schaffner says he finds the study "intriguing and provocative" He says, "The more we pick at this and find infectious disease antecedents for chronic illness, the more provocative it is, because it opens up more doors for prevention.".

The Family Movie Friday series has wrapped for 2013, and continued the successful tradition of providing a family friendly, outdoor activity for Sierra Madre. Through the generous support of the Sierra Madre Issei Memorial Foundation, Sierra Madre Volunteer Firefighters Association, and Mother Moo Creamery, the Community Services Department was able to show five movies in Kersting court, including the Sierra Madre filmed classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The films never looked better, shown on a brand new screen made possible by donations from the Sierra Madre Kiwanis Club and Rotary Club of Sierra Madre. Approximately 250 people attended each showing and supported local businesses in the downtown area.
The Family Movie Friday series will resume in late spring, early summer of 2014. If you are interested in sponsoring a movie or supporting the series please contact Recreation Supervisor Kyle Schnurr at (626) 355-5278 ext. 227 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
