" my dear lucy will you be my bride ? you tanhot refuse me becaum jou must kn.iw that in asking yourhand i a favor be stow then keep sir your favors so great in your eyes but which in my heart i nbhor and des pise ; you smoke and you tipple and will not give v,p your habits so loathing your pipe and your cup a thousand times better be single for life than be a poor heart-broken rum seller's w i c ;

shunning all evil take god for their guide and they'll never become the inebriate's bride communication from minister jarvif petro'polis neab rio di janeiro brazil november 23d 1887 to the editor of the star wiln ington iv c : dear sir :— the star of the 21st of october after crossing the athintic twice reached me three duj'-s ago and as usual was closely searched for the news from north carolina your article headed the palace beginning is it did with my name soon attracted aiy attention and after reading it closely 1 determined to aslc you to hear in on the subject what i may say will not be said in a desire to pro voke controversy but to correct what seems to me to be a wrong impression that is being made on the public and which may do harm if allowed to accu mulate error as it likely will by the time the campaign of next yestf is in full blast nor do i write to relieve myself of any personal respbusifjiliij n the matter for i am perfectly willing to assume all the responsibility for the dimensions and style of the projosed home for the governors of north car olina 1 do not profess to love mv state bettor than other people but i jo claim to have too mueii state pride to take part in the erection of a home for her governors that is not a credit to the state and that will not excite feel ings of pride in any citizen who may i)t>holil it the house we are now erecting is to stand for one hunched years and more and be occupied by a urovernor chosen by the people of a jre it state as his home had the house been pent up and badly designed the next few years would have wit nessed new appropriations for its en largement aud remodeling a thing al ways expensive and rarely ever satis factory completed as designed it will al»vay.s be satisfactory to those who may occupy it and creditable tu the age in which it was built i do not say it in a spirit of stubboruess or irri tation but because of niy conviction that i was right i what 1 did when i declare to you that i do not regret having commenced such a bouse but i do . finish it u.i i peligvti all others of even aay seeming posuonsibiiitj in the matter . tne public will readily see that it is impossible for me to write about this matter without alluding to myself as the subject matter of your article naturally connects me with it and 1 therefore take it that i may speak of myself witljoijt offending good taste it"so i will ask you to indulge me a little further in matters personal for the implied compliment in the article i beg to thank you i do u°t claim fco have doije the best tljaf cou.ld be done but j say that i did the best that 1 j knew how to do the star has the confidence of the press and the people and what it says has its influence in moulding public thought and public opinion no one knows this better than i do it is this reason that has in part in duced me to attempt ty correct in time the wrong and huritul impressions which i think your comments on the palace as you choose to call it may make i do not wish the demo cratic candidate for governor to be j confronted with the statements that the p democratic party is building in ilal-j eigh a palace of jumbo proportions i to cost 100,000 aud that it will be necosiry to increase the governor's salary to 8,000 to enable him to life in it when the facts as i understand them are entirely different and then have the sttir drawn na him to prove it it will be no defence to call it jarris's folly if the facts sustained the charge for the party is responsible for the legislation that authorizes it : but let us see what the plain simple fact iii the case are the legislature of 1876-7 at tl e suggestion of gov vane nndertook to provide a house for the governor to this end an act was prosed appoint ing a commission consisting of treas urer worth attorney general kenan secretary of state engelhard these state officers and i m carter and a b andrews two citizens with power to construct a suitable ktise to raise the necessary funds the com mission was authorized to sell certain vacant lots belonging to the state in the city of raleigh a part of these lots were sold for part cash ami part time and the proceeds of such sales amounted to about 18,000 the lots sold were only the outlying small lots as the city of raleigh was antagonizing the bale of the large and more valuable lots the commission had plans of a house made but did not commence work as i have always understood be cause of tl.e trouble about the sale of the valuable lots and because of the furl her fact that the commission was divided as to the location the legis lature of 187'j repealed the act and di rected the fund to be turned into the general fund as a fact the hind was not turned into the general fund and actually entered on the treasurer's books foe the reason that a large part of the money had not been collected when the act of 18s3 was passed this act instead of appointing a commis sion as the act of 1876-7 did directed the governor and his council to build i suitable house its other features were however in the main like the act of 1870-7 except it did not direct the sale of the public square in the city it rededicated the fund raised as before stated from the sale of the lots under the act of 1876-7 and authorized the sale of the lot known as the old gov ernor's mansion property it also as did the act of 1876-7 directed the penitentiary authorities to make and furnish everything possible to be sup plied by that institution to aid in the work plans were drawn by one of the nest and most experienced architects in the country they were examined and the plan of the house materially reduced in size and cost in order to avoid any conflict with the penitentiary authorities as to what they could furnish and as to what they could not they after going over the plans with the architect undertook to build the house for 25,000 in addition to tin work they were required by lair to do up to the time i left the governor's oliiee 20,000 had been paid over to the penitentiary on the contract anu the building was far advanced toward completion and part of the old man sion lot had been sold to the itv ol raleigh for a graded school at sio^ooo and it was supposed the balance would sell for 5,000 so the funds in sight for building and furnishing the house amounted in addition to the convict work to about 33,000 if the balance of the old lot sells for 5,000 but suppose it oi:!v brings 3.0u then we have a fund of 30,000 25,030 foi building and 5,000 for furniture now bear in mind that not one dollai of this money was r.iis d by taxation it all come from the sale of old vacant lots the most of which would never yielded one penny of income in the way ol 1 1 xi.*s to the state county or c t ■. sin.e these lots were sold and went into fie h"\ds of private parties th'v have h-.ii improved several hand some residences now stand on them — iiid re now yielding to the treasury taxes gvery year 11 then the house had been completed by the penitentiary authority as was expected the practi cal effect ol the management would have been to give the stutea handsome lion e for its governor without collect ing from the people one penny of ins to pqij for it but one m;in says the | ili '•- cannot complete it •: a i -- reco .■■• - '■■■'•• - ' iil ' ,.,.., | . . :..- ■'. '. fie in terior except the doors stairways and inside window blinds are completed [ and probably much of the material is on hand tor these 1 confidently be lieve that 10,000 in addition to the 2-3,0ix will save the penitentiary harm less and enable its authorities to com plete the building without loss but to make a safe calculation i will put it at 12,500 of course a nry large amount j of money may be spent on the interior finish of a house but it never was de signed fco finish this one otherwise than in a neat simple substantial manner and finished that way my estimate is a safe oue the furniture should be neat durable serviceable furniture and furnished in this style 85,000 will buy a lot of furniture but 1 will say it takes 7,500 for the furniture it is possible to spend much money in furni ture but it is also true that very nice walnut cherry oak and the like furni ture can lie bought at very reasonable prices it is ai.so possible to spend much n mey for carpets and curtains c and it is likewise possible to buy verv nice at very moderate prices s > 1 repeat that$5,000 will buy much such furniture as i think ought to be se lected for the governor's house but suppose it takes the higher figure 7,£00 then we will have this result the entire cost of the house and furni ture complete and ready for use j5 : -' u00 deduct from this 30,000 nii e ! by the sale of vacant and fora century non-taxable lots and we have a hand some poinrnodious residence for the governor it an actual co*t to the tax i payer of only 815,000 can any rea sonable man object to this and say that it i extravagance i think not but says another of the critic 1 have not charged anything in this estimate ior ■the convict labor i answer no and | why shonld 1 it would h nnreason : able to reqnireit ana that 1 will demon j strate by facts at the same time that one squad of convicts were at work for and on the governor's house another was engaged in cutting canals in the east another at work on a railroad in the middle of the stale another on a railroad in the weste n part of the state ami still anoth r on the supreme court and state library building this makes five different sqnads of convicts in all and they were all fed guarded and clothed by the state and at the ex pease of the state now why should the squad that worked on the govern or's house alone he selected and forty cents a day for each convict be charged up against that work and nothing said about the others it looks as if it was done thoughtlessly or for the purpose of making the cost of the building ap pear big to make capital for personal or party use it was the states build ing and the state's convicts why charge the state for the one that worked on it any n.ore than the one that worked on the supreme court building it was the state house and the state's con vict and why charge for the one that worked on the state house any more than the one that worked on the state's canals or on the roads of corporations 1 repeat the demand to do so is unrea sonable and in my opinion the people will so see it now a word as to the palatial aj - pearance of the building according to my idea there h nothing palatial about it it is a plain brick building built of brick made by the eonvicts at the penitentiary and trimmed with a moderate quantity of brown sand stone lug from the soil of north carolina the inside is equally plain and home like being plastered walls and ceilings the windows are of glass and the roof of slate now what there is palatial in all this i cannot see but it is denominated a jumbo in size well i do not know how big a mouse must be to be called a jumbo this one has a basement two lull stories and an attic on the first arc six rooms and they are supposed to he tor the following uses : a ladies parlor i gentleman's parlor the governor's public reception parlor a library a large dining room and a small dining room the parlors and library will ivcragc about 20x22 the reception parlor to be used on public occasions if the governor shall wish to hold a re ception during the sitting of the legis lature or the state fair or like occa sion is 21x40 the large dining room ilso for public occasions is 20x30 and the small dining room is about 14x10 this floor is supposed to be more or less open to the public on suitable oc casions the second tloor also has six rooms which is supposed to furnish the sitting rooms and cha;nbers for the governor an 1 his f r uiily these rooms are supplied v.itjj necessary coaven iences for lne health and comfort of tho household some of the attic rooms on the third floor might befitted up and occupied as sleeping rooms if a grovernor has a family large enough to reqnireit the furnitur of the build ing that makes the house appear larger when one looks at it from the street is its unusually large hail this hall running ail the way across the house is i think 22 feet wide in the first plan drawn it was 2(5 feet and in re ducing the general size of the house four feet were taken oil of tin 1 width of the hall had it been a tea feet passage as some si>ei)i to think sulli cient it would have materially reduced the appearance of the hous a to size any one can readily see what a dis'cr ouk if would m^k in the size f t he <• m indie it -

We are elated to share with you the exquisite wedding of Danielle and Kyle in Lake Tahoe, California. So many sensational details were captured for their big day from the bride's dazzling gown to the stunning succulent centerpieces to the breathtaking views. We can tell that the couple had an amazing day and enjoyed every moment. And from the photos, we think it's safe to say that the rest of the bridal party enjoyed themselves as well!
Danielle and Kyle worked with our exclusive retailer, Folio in Larkspur, to create wedding stationery perfectly fit for their outdoor event. The mix of nutmeg, persimmon and topaz ink colors on our Roseberry design really captures the airy, rustic feel. We also love how they tied in small, square insert cards with circular designs for brunch and rehearsal dinner invitations. Their entire wedding weekend was centered around spending time with family and friends and was filled with many exciting activities, like a welcome party and a float down the nearby Truckee River.
We fell in love with so many creative details that really made this Lake Tahoe wedding personal and unique: the bright pop of color in the umbrellas, the burlap bride and groom signs, the mix of patterns in the groomsmen's ties, and those sparkling Jimmy Choos (to name a few)! Fun fact: a 15-minute hailstorm passed through just after the ceremony, though the entire day was filled with blue skies!

Misty Arnold returns as head coach of the Pratt Community College volleyball team this year. After taking over a program that was somewhat in disarray mid-season last year and engineering a late-season surge by the Lady Beavers, Coach Arnold is looking forward to her first full season at the PCC helm.
Misty Arnold returns as head coach of the Pratt Community College volleyball team this year. After taking over a program that was somewhat in disarray mid-season last year and engineering a late-season surge by the Lady Beavers, Coach Arnold is looking forward to her first full season at the PCC helm.
"I'm excited to coach here," she said. "I look forward to serving the students and the community. I want to bring my experience and see what we can accomplish."
Arnold does sport an impressive resume as she embarks upon her 18th year of coaching. After playing collegiately at HCC, Arnold began her coaching career in the prep ranks, guiding teams like Stafford and Nickerson to their first state tournament appearances. She was named one of the winningest prep coaches by KSHSAA.
She then coached at Kansas State University for 7 years and was an assistant at HCC just prior to taking the job at PCC. She was already familiar with Pratt, having assisted then-PCC coach Pat Hall in preseason workouts.
When the head volleyball job at PCC became available during the season last year, Arnold stepped into the breach. In the final few weeks of the season, under her leadership, the Lady Beavers improved three places in the conference standings and achieved a signature win in three sets over traditional power Seward County.
After displaying potential at the end of last season, this year's Lady Beavers are looking forward to competing and representing PCC well this year. "Our goals are to work hard and beat teams that underestimate us," Arnold said. "Our focus will be to see how good we can pass, control the ball and play offense and defense."
Hutch, Seward, Barton and Colby are expected to field solid teams in the Jayhawk West, a traditionally tough volleyball conference. But Arnold expects her team to be able to compete with any of them.
PCC has 16 players on scholarship, led by a good group of returning sophomores. "The sophomores will all contribute," Arnold stated. "They have shown a lot of growth and development from last year."
Ashlie Gramke returns at MH/B and Darian Konrade will be back at her OH spot. Coach Arnold expects to see some great defense being played by players such as Alexis Blanchat, Camera Broadnax and Haylee Eck. "They will make some spectacular digs and saves," Arnold predicted.
In addition, a promising group of freshmen have been recruited that will take over some starting spots and also provide depth. "All our setters are freshmen," Arnold noticed. "That makes for a fun dynamic."
"One we're really excited about is Alexis Sanchez from Dodge City," Arnold continued. "She was highly recruited."
Assisted by Kelley Maydew, Arnold is looking forward to getting the upcoming season underway. She concluded by saying, "We want to find the right mix, work together and take PCC volleyball to the next level."

The New York Post reported this morning on the capture of Zarqawi's laptop in a special forces ambush that almost netted the terrorist himself. Supposedly, the laptop is a treasure trove of information about Zarqawi's international terror network.
The story that has appeared about the ambush is that Zarqawi was riding in a vehicle with one of his top aides. They apparently got wind of the ambush and turned around; the American soldiers pursued them and did capture the vehicle and the aide. But by that time Zarqawi was gone, apparently having escaped from the vehicle. It does seem odd, though, that if the laptop had so much information about his network, he didn't take it with him.

Retirement Plan Participation and Asset Allocation, 2004
February 2007, Vol. 28, No. 2
Paperback, 12 pp.
PDF, 656 kb
Employee Benefit Research Institute, 2007
Executive Summary
• Updating previous EBRI research: This article updates previous EBRI research on asset allocation in defined contribution plans and individual retirement accounts (IRAs) using the latest data from the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), a triennial interview survey of U.S. families sponsored by the Federal Reserve in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The SCF measures the financial characteristics and status of American families.
• Sponsorship rate steady: From 1992, the percentage of family heads working for an employer that sponsored a retirement plan remained steady, at or just over 61 percent.
• Participation rate down: In 2004, 46 percent of working family heads participated in their employer's retirement plan, a drop of more than 2 percentage points from 2001.
• Defined contribution dominance continues to grow: There has been a significant increase in the percentage of family heads with a defined contribution plan (typically a 401(k)-type plan). In 2004, almost 26 percent of family heads who participated in an employment-based retirement plan had a defined benefit (pension) plan only, while 56 percent had a defined contribution (401(k)-type) plan only, while the remaining 18 percent had both a defined benefit and defined contribution plan. This was a significant change from 1992, when 42.3 percent had a defined benefit plan only and 40.8 per-cent had a defined contribution plan only. This trend toward more defined contribution plan use occurred across all employer sizes, but most of the shift occurred in the mid-1990s, with the shift leveling off recently.
• Small firms are seeing the biggest changes: The most significant changes occurred in the smaller firms, with increased or unchanged participation levels among family heads in these firms and larger shifts to defined contribution plans (mostly for employees of firms with 10 or more employees). Family heads in largest firms experienced less movement to defined contribution plans and a decline in their likelihood of participating in a plan.
• Asset allocation affected by individual account ownership: Besides typical demographic factors, the asset allocation that family heads apply to their retirement plan seems to be affected by their ownership of other types of retirement plans. Both those who own 401(k)-type plans and those who own IRAs are more likely to be invested all in stocks if they also own the other type of plan, although some of the difference related to IRAs is due to the high percentage of older IRA participants without a 401(k)-type plan. As family heads have more accounts or more wealth, they are more likely to be more invested in stocks.

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Disdrometer
PSD partners with leading science museum to develop hands-on science exhibit
Barb DeLuisi and Katy Human, Fall 2010
One overcast day in July, ESRL Physical Sciences Division (PSD) researcher, David Kingsmill, watched raindrops falling on the rainbow-colored umbrella he held. This was a decidedly unusual rainstorm, however. The drops were not falling from the sky, but from a "rain chamber" outside the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Kingsmill and PSD colleagues are helping develop a new exhibit for the Exploratorium, an internationally acclaimed "museum of science, art and human perception."
Last year, NOAA signed on a five-year educational partnership to co-develop interactive exhibits, online learning experiences and professional development workshops for the learning institution.
"The Exploratorium provides a really good vehicle for delivering our message to the public," said Kingsmill. "People can literally get their hands on what we are doing at NOAA."
Shortly after the partnership was announced, Exploratorium staff visited ESRL, to learn more about NOAA science. Kingsmill and his colleagues wowed the museum's Mary Miller, Thomas Humphrey, and others with a laboratory demonstration of rain-measuring instruments used to study the connection between climate and weather in the water cycle. The group began brainstorming how these instruments—and the science on which they are based—might be presented to the public in a unique and engaging way.
During the next few months, staff from the two institutions shared a flurry of ideas. The teams got to thinking, "While it;s true that the weather can't be controlled in the real world, what about in a closet-sized exhibit?" The concept of a rain chamber was born.
The Exploratorium exhibit would employ rain gauges, which measure the volume of rain, and "disdrometers," which count individual raindrops and characterize their size and fall speed. Kingsmill consulted with exhibit fabricators on rain formation so that the rain produced by the chamber was realistic enough.
Another important part of developing the exhibit was demonstrating ESRL;s equipment to Exploratorium visitors and staff, to determine their interests and their baseline level of scientific knowledge before figuring out what kinds of visual aids would be helpful in an exhibit. Kingsmill and Allen White (also PSD), spent time at the Exploratorium this summer doing just that. Being right at the museum made it easy to test new ideas practically on the spot. For example, after conducting demonstrations of the instruments in one area of the museum, they realized that it made more sense to move them next to existing exhibits on fog and raindrops to provide visitors with additional context.
"One of the great things about working at the Exploratorium was each day saying, 'How'd it go?' and 'What can we do differently?'" said Kingsmill.
The culminating demonstration of the summer was an evaluation on Sept. 15. Kingsmill used new prototype visuals and a tabletop version of the rain chamber to engage visitors. Exploratorium staff observed from a distance and then interviewed people as they left the area. One finding was that most of the visitors could understand individual exhibits, but struggled to see how they were related to each other. That evaluation, and feedback from the other demonstrations, will help guide the development of a more permanent exhibit.
The rain chamber exhibit will continue to evolve for the next couple years as PSD and the Exploratorium design complementary pieces to help tell the story of rain and explain the connection between scientific instrumentation and big issues such as flooding and climate change.

From AWStats - Free log file analyzer for advanced statistics:
- AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. This log analyzer works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all possible information your log contains, in few graphical web pages. It uses a partial information file to be able to process large log files, often and quickly. It can analyze log files from all major server tools like Apache log files (NCSA combined/XLF/ELF log format or common/CLF log format), WebStar, IIS (W3C log format) and a lot of other web, proxy, wap, streaming servers, mail servers and some ftp servers.
mod_perl is required to run AWStats with apache. The mod_perl package is available in the [extra] repository; install it using pacman.
The awstatsAUR package is available in the AUR.
Enable mod_perl for Apache
To enable
mod_perl in apache, you should add following line to apache configuration (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf).
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
Configure Apache to log for AWStats
By default AWStats requires Apache to record access logs as 'combined'. Unless you want a different behavior, you should set your access log format as 'combined'. To do so, your apache configuration should look like this:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin email@example.com DocumentRoot "/srv/http/xxx" ServerName www.returnfalse.net ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/returnfalse-error_log" CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/returnfalse-access_log" combined </VirtualHost>
The important line here is:
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/returnfalse-access_log" combined
Including AWStats configuration in Apache's configuration
If you set the log format, then next step is including AWStats config file in apache. The package in the AUR has a default one, and it's working without any problem. But in case you want to create your own configuration, default one is this:
Alias /awstatsclasses "/srv/http/awstats/classes/" Alias /awstatscss "/srv/http/awstats/css/" Alias /awstatsicons "/srv/http/awstats/icon/" ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/srv/http/awstats/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/srv/http/awstats"> Options None AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Include this file (in AUR case, the path is
/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-awstats.conf) to Apache's main configuration:
Include conf/extra/httpd-awstats.conf
Now if you have done all steps correctly, you should be able to see AWStats running on http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl of course after restarting apache.
# /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
One last thing, which is the actual aim, make AWStats read logs and convert them to stats.
AWStats Configuration
The AUR package comes with an hourly cron script to update stats shown on AWStats. This cron script reads AWStats configuration files in
/etc/awstats and updates the stats for the sites that are defined in these configuration files. Instead of creating these configuration files, you can use AWStats' configuration tool. Run:
perl /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_configure.pl
and follow the instructions. If you successfully created config file there is one thing that you should modify manually. Open the configuration file created by
awstats_configure.pl with your favorite text editor. Then find the line on which
LogFile variable is defined, and set it as the path that Apache logs accesses (which you set to be logged as 'combined' format before):
You are done, now you can run hourly cron script to test the results.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti has humorously criticised Zlatan Ibrahimovic for not fulfilling his promise of netting 20 goals in the first half of the Ligue 1 season.
The Sweden star recorded his 18th strike of the campaign in the 3-1 victory Brest to cement his position as the most prolific striker in the French elite division so far in the current campaign, and his trainer revealed that the forward had set the bar even higher.
"Friday night in Brest, I was angry with Zlatan," jovially said Ancelotti as quoted by Corsport.
"I went to him in the dressing room and said: 'Ibra, you promised me you would have scored 20 goals, but you are still at 18!'
"Then he said: 'Thank you boss, I'm happy when I wind you up.'
"He's an animal. His desire to win is a desire that is never quenched. I've known many forwards for whom the win was only important when they scored. But not Zlatan."
Ancelotti then went on to discuss the club's transfer plans in January, and stressed he would not be making any approaches for Daniele De Rossi or Wesley Sneijder.
"He [De Rossi] will not come to Paris," he said. "If I have to make a prediction, I will say he will remain in Rome because that is his home.
"Not even he [Sneijder] will be in Paris, unless he's on vacation. Sneijder, when fit, is a great player, but we have many with similar characteristics to his."
Les Parisiens have enjoyed a strong end to the calendar year, as they sit joint top of Ligue 1 and have a Champions League last 16 tie with Valenica to come.
Ancelotti had been under pressure earlier on in the campaign, but he believes he can steer the club to a successful 2013, and insists he is not concerned with rumours that he may be replaced by Jose Mourinho.
"I lost the championship in the spring, but now I'm back on top of the league and in the Champions League.
"In terms of work it has been a good year. Mourinho does not concern me. It is not my problem."

Avoid these teacher pet peeves:
Chances are they'll be too nice to tell you this stuff to your face, so read it—and don't do it!
Not knowing the school's discipline policies, and then getting upset if they're different from yours. If the teacher uses time-outs, and you protest because you don't like them, your child will be very confused. When choosing your child's school, make sure its philosophies match your own, or that you can at least respect them.
Pressuring your child not to mess up or misplace her clothes. "It makes me feel bad when a child gets nervous about outdoor recess, and says, 'My mom told me I can't lose another pair of mittens,'" says preschool teacher Lisa Andersen. "Most centers offer kids their own cubby and box. If you can, buy extra hats and gloves and leave them there."
Trying to discuss a problem during dropoff or pick-up. Your child's teacher is busy saying hi and goodbye to a whole bunch of kids and parents. And if you want to discuss a subject that isn't appropriate to talk about in front of your child, he could pick up on it, even if he seems to be busy playing or talking to his friends.
- Being late for Circle Time. Many preschools start the day by gathering all the children in a circle to do things like discuss the weather, and also to preview the schedule of the day's events. It's a crucial part of the routine, and if your child misses it, she might feel a little lost, especially if she's the only one who isn't clued in.
How to score brownie points with the teacher:
- Share your child's special interests during any tours or visits you make. That way, the guide can steer your kiddo toward the parts of the classroom that will appeal to her the most.
Label what kind of sandwich you've packed, if it isn't obvious. "We have a no-peanuts rule, and if you've used another nut butter or sunflower butter instead, it'll save us a call home to double-check," explains preschool teacher Sarah Connor.
Let your child know each morning who will be picking her up at the end of the school day. It will keep your kid from feeling anxious that no one will show up.
Check the spare clothes in your child's cubby every couple of weeks to make sure they're still right for the season and your child hasn't outgrown them.
What your kid's teacher wants you to do at home:
What are the most important things you can do to help your kid do well in school? Behold, a teacher's ultimate wish list…
- Ask Specific Qs: Swap "Did you have a good day?" for more detailed and specific questions, such as "What have you been doing in math?" and "Who sits at your table?" These conversation-starter queries will give you a better glimpse into her world, as well as help her gain the social skills she needs for school.
- Play Games: Kids spend so much time using technology that the basics of playing fair and taking turns are often going by the wayside—hence more frustration and tears in the schoolyard. Pull out your classic board games or play rock, paper, scissors to teach fundamental game-playing skills and rules.
- Stop Trying to Wipe Shoes and Noses: She can do it! Maybe not the first time, but hang in there and be consistent. The task will require your guidance initially, but slowly remove yourself from the situation. Her sense of independence may even rub off on her classmates. Your kid, the trendsetter!
- Read What the Teacher Sends Home: Take time every day to check your child's backpack for permission slips, class newsletters, and the like. It'll help you know what's going on at school and help her be prepared. Neither one of you will be happy if, say, you forget it's school picture day!

Glimpsed at Bond Street Social: Jackie Kipke
At the grand opening of Bond Street Social, Jackie Kipke, 51, goes for a style that's "tailored with an edge." The Brown Advisory trust administrator paired a short sleeve white on black polka dot top from White House/Black Market with a black pencil skirt from New York & Co., black lace hose from Kohl's, and black patent leather stretch pointy-toe boots from DSW. Kipke says she hates to see warm weather leave. "The only thing that cheers me up is [wearing] boots and tights." She picked up her black handbag at the Coach outlet. Her pearl and silver chain long necklace was a gift.

703: Honor Societies
|Honor Societies
Title text: Hey, why do YOU get to be the president of Tautology Clu-- wait, I can guess.
| This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect:
Please include the reason why this explanation is incomplete, like this:
If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks.
Cueball finds himself presented with an offer in the form of a circular argument. Because he's an honorable person, he should join an honor society; honorable people are in honor societies and people who are in honor societies are supposedly honorable. He decides that he might as well be in a tautology club, which would be another type of society that depends solely on its own premises: People who are in tautology clubs are in tautology clubs. Thus Randall mocks honor society clubs for being pointless.
Tautology is an unnecessary repetition of meaning, using dissimilar words that effectively say the same thing. "The first rule of _ Club" is a reference to Fight Club (see also Fight Club comic).
The answer to the title text would be a tautology. Thus, he gets to be the president because he is the president.
- [Cueball sits at a desk, while a teacher or counselor out of frame advises]
- Cueball: Wait. I should join this honor society to show colleges I'm honorable, and I'm honorable because I'm in an honor society?
- Teacher: Basically, yes.
- [Tighter shot of Cueball.]
- Cueball: Sounds like I could save time by joining the Tautology Club directly.
- Teacher: That's not a real club.
- Cueball: Then I'm starting it.
- [Seven individuals appear: Ponytail, a man, a shorter male with glasses that bears a striking resemblance to Jason Fox, a taller man with a buzz cut, a brunette woman with curly hair in a ponytail, Megan and Cueball standing on a box.]
- Ponytail: So how'd you learn about us?
- Man: From your Facebook group, "If 1,000,000 People Join This Group, It Will Have 1,000,000 People In It."
- Cueball: LISTEN UP! The first rule of Tautology Club is the first rule of Tautology Club.
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
A tautology is a statement that is always true and that doesn't convey any information. A classic example is 'A or not A', which is true if A is true, but also if A isn't true. 'Either it rains or it doesn't rain' is true, no matter what weather it is.
"If 1.000.000 people join this group, it will have 1.000.000 people in it" is, strictly speaking, not a tautology, since it wouldn't be true if - somehow - 1.000.000 people were able to join the group without it having 1.000.000 people in it (I don't know - maybe if people leave the group before the counter hit 1.000.000?). It would also be true if there were somehow 1.000.000 members of the group without 1.000.000 people joining it. It is of the form 'if A then A' which is pretty much a much longer version of just 'A'. It's true if it's true, and it isn't if it isn't - so it isn't a tautology.
The same goes for 'The first rule of the tautology club is the first rule of the tautology club' - It's just a long way of saying "This is the first rule of the tautology club' - which can be true or false.
- No, it's saying that, whatever the first rule of the club is at any given moment, that's the first rule of the club. Which cannot be false. 184.108.40.206 16:39, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Granted; the statements hold enough implied information that we will agree that they are true in a trivial sense, and they are much more fun than 'either there are 1.000.000 people in this group or there aren't 1.000.000 people in this group' and 'either this is the first rule of the tautology club or it isn't' 22.214.171.124 22:15, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- While I do understand what you're getting at, you are surprisingly wrong on a few accounts. First, A or not A (i.e. A V ~A) is not always a tautology. I've spent enough painful time around intuitionists to say this whenever I can.
- How is that not a tautology? For any proposition A, if the proposition is true, then A; if not, then ~A. Logic doesn't allow for a proposition to be both true AND false, nor does it allow for a proposition to be neither true NOR false, so the only remaining possibilities are A and ~A; ergo, A v ~A. 184.108.40.206 16:44, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Unnecessary nitpick aside, then, there are more serious things. I presume the sentence, "It would also be true if there were somehow 1.000.000 members of the group without 1.000.000 people joining it," should be, "It would also not be true if there were somehow 1.000.000 members of the group without 1.000.000 people joining it." (Otherwise, the "also" is used incorrectly, and the sentence is useless.) Unfortunately, this would make it wrong; a statement of the form "if A then B" is not false if B is true and A isn't. (This is the difficulty of making formal logic: the traditional conditional leads to bizarre, vacuous truths.) Also, more seriously, you say that "if A then A" is a longer way of saying "A", or, more formally, that "A → A" is logically equivalent to "A." Unfortunately, this is not the case. The statement "if A then A" is always true, and hence a tautology. You also assert that "A = A" (or "A ↔ A") is logically equivalent to "A", where "A" is "The first rule of tautology club." This is even more obviously false. Even if "The first rule of tautology club" yields falsehood, it is still equivalent to itself.
- Serious issues aside, I do agree with your sentiment that "[i]f 1.000.000 people join this group, it will have 1.000.000 people in it" is not necessarily a tautology, but removing the ambiguities (did they all join at the same time? did anyone leave?), which would necessarily be done in any formalization of the statement, would yield the tautological "A → A." -- Quicksilver (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

It is worth noting that this comic is Randall's commentary on certain honor societies, who don't do anything except for selecting new members. Feynman once made a remark to that effect, and may be Randall's influence on the matter. (Or not.) Regardless, this explanation is missing the viewpoint. 220.127.116.11 20:53, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
I see that nobody's pointed out that the third figure from the left in the third panel appears to be Jason Fox (see 824: Guest Week: Bill Amend (FoxTrot))- known to be one of those nerdy types who would join a tautology club. He is (to my knowledge) perpetually in the fifth grade, though, which does make me a little suspicious. --188.8.131.52 00:03, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
The official transcript actually identifies him as "a shorter male with glasses that bears a striking resemblance to Jason Fox". I'd say the chances of it being him are a little more than "could be". 188.8.131.52 07:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

"We are giving back to a soldier and his wife for the sacrifices they have made for our country. Ultimately what we are doing for Staff Sergeant Karl is very little compared to what he has done for us." -Joel Ross, marketing communication manager, Avery Dennison Graphics & Reflective Products Division.
How do you properly thank our military veterans for the tours of duty in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa, and other nasty hotspots around the world? How can we even come close to offering a proper gesture for men and women who've lived through some of the worst trauma human beings can go through, day after day, month after endless month?
So it was a welcome piece of news the other day when I heard about Avery Graphics, GatorWraps, and a couple of other companies that joined forces to give Staff Sergeant Jacob Karl of the U.S. Marine Corps a one-of-a-kind homecoming present - a free-of-charge custom vinyl mural, upgrade suspension package, and high-toned chrome and polish treatment for his beloved 1997 F-250 pickup.
(Pictured left to right: Rod Voegele, GatorWraps' president; Tammy Karl, Koby Karl, age 8; Sadie Karl, age 10; SSgt. Jacob Karl; and Bear Scharbarth, TAG Motorsports General Manager).
This is a 13-year veteran Marine, ladies and Gs, that's served THREE tours in Iraq - each lasting more than a year, leaving his wife Tammy to hold down the home fort solo for some long, lonely stretches. So how cool is it that several companies stepped up to the plate to make his homecoming to Camp Pendleton even more special?
For those interested in the nitty gritty, Avery donated its popular MPI 1005 EZ RS film and DOL 1100 matte overlaminate for this truck wrap project - a wrap custom-designed with the new Mossy Oak Break-Up pattern, printed and then installed by GatorWraps at its Ontario, Calif., location. Note that this vinyl wrap can be adjusted or removed without damaging the truck's original paint, notes Avery.
Tammy Karl, SSgt. Karl's wife, knew her husband has a weak spot for the Mossy Oak Break-Up pattern so she contacted GatorWraps a few months before he rotated home on Aug. 7 to see if it was possible to create a special design for his truck. Avery, GatorWraps and Mossy Oak didn't hesitate to grant Tammy's request - creating a unique truck mural that includes the U.S. Marine Corps emblem, silhouettes of Marines, and the shadow of a bull rider to reflect SSgt. Karl's love for the rodeo.
That's not all, of course. Tag Motorsports installed a Banks Stinger 2 Power suspension free of charge, with Banks Engineering donating the system. Herbie Auto Detailing also got into the act with a full detail & chrome polishing of Karl's truck as well.
So, after this latest tour spent training Iraqi police forces, let's hope SSgt. Karl and wife Tammy get some time off to enjoy his new custom truck and each other's company. SSgt. Karl, thank you for your service to our country and to us - "Semper Fi" indeed.

Viva Big Bend showcases music in West Texas venues
An abundance of live music will fill venues across the Big Bend region July 25-28 as more than 50 bands converge on Alpine, Marfa, Marathon, and Fort Davis for the Viva Big Bend music festival.
Texas artists including the Joe Ely Band, Texas Tornados, Randy Rogers Band, Jonathan Tyler and The Northern Lights, El Tule, and Terri Hendrix will perform as part of the event, representing the state's diverse culture and musical genres.
Event producer Stewart Ramser said about 1,500 people turned out for last year's festival, exceeding expectations and laying the groundwork for a bigger event this summer.
"I spend a lot of time in West Texas and realized there are a lot of great venues out here, and there are a lot of musicians who love to play out here," said Ramser, who also publishes Texas Music magazine. "We have a wide variety of genres represented—local bands, as well as bands from across the state, and even a few from outside of the state."
Venues in Alpine—among them the Granada Theatre and Railroad Blues—and in Marfa—in-cluding the Lost Horse Saloon and Padre's—will host nighttime shows. Daytime performances will be held at the Gage Hotel in Marathon on July 26 and in Fort Davis on July 27 (venue pending as of press time). Viva Big Bend will provide shuttles to transport attendees between Alpine and Marfa during the night performances.
Viva Big Bend is also organizing events for music industry professionals during the festival, including a luncheon put on by the Texas Chapter of the Recording Academy and a songwriting workshop led by Hendrix and Lloyd Maines.

KALAMAZOO—The contributions of Chinese women writers in China's historiography will be outlined in a talk by a visiting Chinese scholar at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, in 2028 Brown Hall on Western Michigan University's main campus.
Dr. Clara Wing-chung Ho, a professor of history at Hong Kong Baptist University, will present the talk, "Were Chinese Women Interested in History? Evidences From Their Works in the Ming-Qing Period." It is free and open to the public.
According to Ho, Ban Zhao of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the only woman historian included in a collective biography of Chinese historians. In a widely circulated dictionary of Chinese historians, which offers a total of 2,643 entries, just six entries are dedicated to women and only two of them lived entirely in the Imperial era.
Ho will give an overview of the various themes covered in different genres of historical works by women in Ming-Qing China, and also highlight some interesting and ambitious arguments presented in those works. She proposes that a thorough study of women's views on different aspects of history, and a multi-angled comparison with men's views, will provide a unique view of China's past.
Ho is currently a Fulbright Scholar and visiting professor at Northeastern University. She is the editor and author of several books related to women and Chinese history. Ho earned her doctoral degree in history from the University of Hong Kong.

Unlike plastic cases that offer very little protection, the flexibility of TPU allows all edges of the phone to be covered and provides a bezel around the screen to protect it during falls. The design is laser printed directly onto the surface of the phone case, so it will never crack, fade, peel, or chip.
Example pictured features the Lilly Pulitzer Southern Charm print.

Walk of Hope + 5K Run to Defeat Depression
The Shadow Minister for Treasury Finance, Ian Ling-Stuckey, has expressed concern following the outcome of the recent UPNG/ Australian National University conference.
"Economic academics from both the University of Papua New Guinea and the Australian National University say that the PNG economy had negative growth of 5.9 percent in 2015 in the non-resource sections of the economy," Ling-Stuckey said in a statement.
"This is an extraordinary result confirming the economy went badly backwards. It would confirm what business people and the people of PNG have known for years – 2015 was a year of severe recession in PNG.
"Yet the government continues to hide and delay the official National Statistical Office accounts to confirm the recession. More honesty is needed from the government, as a first step in addressing the economic problems facing PNG."
The UPNG/ANU 2018 PNG Economic Survey covers the year to June 2018.
The survey said the underestimation of the severity of the economy's contraction has contributed to an absence of an appropriate policy response to what can only be described as an urgent economic crisis.
Ling-Stuckey said for all of the 100 Day Plan and the measures in the 2018 Budget, the view is still that "there is an absence of an appropriate policy response".
"This is the latest independent assessment of how serious things have become in our economy. And the lack of data makes it uncertain to know if there has been any recovery – the UPNG/ANU survey states 'Whether the economy has started to grow again since 2015 is unclear'. The 2015 drought has ended, but the poor economic performance reflected much more than the drought.
"As other papers at the UPNG/ANU update conference highlighted, the key new economic challenge being talked about in PNG is the
Calvin Klein Womens Kenya Fashion Sandals Blanc Wid 6 Cheap 2018 Newest 2Qgv2ICng
– now by far the greatest concern to business.
"This is a problem created by this government, and one that has seriously hurt PNG's growth. However, PNG's central bank continues to promise that things will improve just around the corner. But businesses have been waiting too long.
"We need to get a better understanding about exactly how our exchange rate is regulated. There should be a review of the central bank's performance in managing the exchange rate and interest rates more broadly," said Ling-Stuckey.
"Of course, the government does sometimes indicate that there are some economic issues, usually blaming external circumstances such as the fall in commodity prices. But the fall in oil prices happened over four years ago! The 2015 drought has passed, and the earthquake was devastating for the highlands but will have little impact on revenues and exports as oil prices have gone up strongly this year. The government needs to , eat some humble pie and be more open about domestic economic mismanagement rather than blaming outside forces.
"An example of this failure of honestly acknowledging the government can do more to fix the errors that it has and is making, was the Treasurer's presentation to parliament on 5 April 2018. In this presentation, Treasurer Abel refused to acknowledge the concerns being raised by Moody's when it moved PNG onto a negative watch, only the fourth time this has happened since 1999. Instead, he just talked about how the outlook for PNG is very positive.
"The outlook is positive, but only if the right economic policies are put in place in an environment of increased honesty.
"Possibly because he failed to even acknowledge the problems, another major credit ratings agency called SP actually downgraded PNG's credit rating on 16 April 2018. The two major external credit ratings agencies moving us down or on negative watch in such a short time has never happened before in PNG's history," said the Shadow Treasurer.
"As we prepare to go into Parliament on 17 July, let me be more specific of examples of recent developments that mean PNG's economic leaders must be more honest in acknowledging their mistakes to our people:
"Now I want to be careful in commenting directly on statements by our generally professional public servants. However, Secretary for Treasury's response to the SP credit downgrade was frankly, poor. As explained by SP, there were three major reasons for the credit downgrade.
"First was the unmistakable increases in government debt and debt interest costs – who could disagree with that fact? In March, even the Treasurer admitted that even in 2017, debt interest costs have soared to over K1.6 billion.
"Second was the drop in revenues – how could anyone dispute this – even the 2018 Budget acknowledged revenues had dropped dramatically as a share of the economy.
"Third was PNG's poor economic growth rate relative to peers – PNG is sitting at the bottom of the growth rate chart in all years from 2017 to 2019 for major countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including projections, according to the World Bank.
"The 2018 budget tried to present a rosier picture, but as I said at the time, these international agencies such as SP and Moody's are smart enough to look through fake budget figures with excessively optimistic forecasts.
"The downgrade, despite the government's actions in the 100 Day Plan and the 2018 Budget, indicates that the international community just does not trust the government's figures," said the Shadow Treasurer.
"There were some positive starts in the 2017 Supplementary Budget and some elements of the 100-Day Plan, but things have gone seriously off-course over recent months. The Treasurer talks in very condescending terms to these agencies – saying that they are ignoring all the good things being done.
"These agencies, with their armies of highly skilled and experienced personnel actually know really well, the things that are being done, and they have the skills to look through many of the fake stories that have been included in recent government documents, including the 2018 Budget and the 2017 Final Budget Outcome (FBO).
"This poor economic performance is now clearly affecting even our banks, with BSP's credit rating also having just been downgraded on 30 April 2018 from B+ down to B, and the ANZ has decided to leave large parts of the PNG market," said Ling-Stuckey.
"The government simply didn't want to tell the people in the lead-up to the election that apart from turning on the PNG LNG gas taps, the rest of the economy was in a severe recession. And now it is trying to hide the true state of the economy in the lead-up to APEC!
"Indeed, it seems too much effort is going into planning for this big international meeting rather than in fixing PNG's true economic problems hurting its people.
"We need to be balanced when we talk about the economy. It is important that we do not talk it down, but we also just can't hide from the truth with good stories.
"PNG has a bright future, but it needs an Alternative Government to help acknowledge our problems, to reach out for friendly foreign support, to genuinely start living within our means, to urgently review our foreign exchange policy and release more foreign exchange reserves, to take some tough medicine but then to rebuild our non-resource growth rate back above 5 percent again, the minimum we should be aiming at to start improving the jobs and income opportunities of our people."

A Brief Time Rewind and On Technology
May 05, 2010, 06:25:35 PM »
A Very Brief (but still not brief enough) History of Time
If there was a time machine
that could rewind one century of history back per forward moving second
and you started this rewind at 12:00:00 noon on Jan 1, 2010:
You could expect to see the Wright brothers fly at 12:00:01.
During the next second your grandparents grandparents maybe lived in the Civil War era, and their great grandparents lived when Thomas Jefferson took office as third US President.
In three more rewind seconds Mozart, Bach, Isaac Newton, Shakespeare, DesCartes, Galileo, Martin Luther, Henry VIII, Copernicus, DaVinci, Michelangelo live and Columbus explores the new world...
The Dark Ages last about 9 or 10 seconds during which there are lots of religious wars and death. Highlights include the Black Death, which wipes out a third of Europe (1347-1349) and the Crusades. There are Byzantines, Normans, Franks, Turks, Mongols, Huns, Goths,Vandals, etc invading and migrating.
Between 16 and 28 seconds you would witness the fall and rise of 'Classical' civilization (Iron Age) including the lives of both JC's (Julius and Jesus), Alexander the Great, Confucius, Plato, Socrates, Buddha, Pythagoras, Isaiah, Zoroaster, and Homer.
After 12 more seconds of rewinding through the Bronze Age, Stonehenge is built about 2000 BCE or 12:00:40 R (Rewind). Rewinding five or six more seconds the first pyramids are built in Egypt.You could say that all of civilization dating back to the dawn of agriculture (Neolithic period) would pass in under two minutes (11,000 years).
Between 12:05:00 and 12:06:00 modern Homo Sapiens replace the Neandertals in Europe. At 12:20:00 Homo Sapiens leave Africa and begin to spread throughout the world. Homo Sapiens and Neandertals appear at 12:33:19 R towards the end of the last ice age (Upper Paleolithic)*
*According to the mitochondrial DNA geeks "Eve" is born around this time in Africa.
There is a lot of controversy over what happens during the next seven R hours (2.5 million years), what did Homo do and when and where did they do it...that sort of thing. It is thought that at 1:23:17 R, Hominids began using fire, and at 2:46:12 the first stone tools appear, and by 5:30 or 6pm the first wave of hominids (not H. Sapiens mind you) leave Africa but fail to survive a half dozen or so ice ages of various duration.
By 11:00 pm, our earliest hominid ancestor (four million year old Austalopithicus Anamensis, recently discovered) first walks on two legs, probably adapting to the climactic changes which transformed the African forest to open-plain savanna. Sometime between 2:00 am and 12:00:00 Noon January 2, 2010 our distant relatives diverged from a common primate ancestor which we share with the Chimpanzee.
You would need to rewind for about eight days to get back to the demise of the dinosaurs (65 million yrs ago) who would dominate the Earth for two more R weeks. Within the R month of January you would see the first flowers, birds, reptiles, fish, and forests develop.
By 8:00 AM February 20th (435 mya), you would pass the point beyond which no creature yet walked on land. On March 8 the Cambrian 'explosion' (first proliferation of fossils - think trilobites) is the last interesting thing for an entire Pre-Cambrian R year until January 17, 2011 - the dawn of life on Earth (about 4 billion years ago). That's 3.4 billion out of 4 billion years of life where living things might have only consisted of algae and such in the ocean.*
*If there were any other complex living organisms they were pretty squishy and didn't leave much behind.
The Earth itself formed only another 600 million years earlier, so you would have to rewind until say June 2011 to see it. The Sun is estimated to be 4.76 billion years old, putting it's appearance one week after the Earth.*
*however most of the atoms Earth is made of must have been forged beforehand in other larger stars and supernovas.
To get to the big bang you'd have to wait in the time machine until at least 2014...14 billion years ago.
Enjoy the rest of your fraction of a second!
