Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic bacterial infection that usually infects the lungs, although other organs such as the kidneys, spine, or brain are sometimes involved. TB is primarily an airborne disease. There is a difference between being infected with the TB bacterium and having active tuberculosis disease. There are three important ways to describe the stages of TB. They are as follows: - Exposure. This occurs when a person has been in contact with, or exposed to, another person who is thought to have or does have TB. The exposed person will have a negative skin test, a normal chest X-ray, and no signs or symptoms of the disease. - Latent TB infection. This occurs when a person has the TB bacteria in his or her body, but does not have symptoms of the disease. The infected person's immune system walls off the TB organisms, and they remain dormant throughout life in 90 percent of people who are infected. This person would have a positive skin test but a normal chest X-ray. - TB disease. This describes the person who has signs and symptoms of an active infection. The person would have a positive skin test and a positive chest X-ray. The predominant TB bacterium is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Many people infected with M. tuberculosis never develop active TB and remain in the latent TB stage. However, in people with weakened immune systems, especially those with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), TB organisms can overcome the body's defenses, multiply, and cause an active disease. TB affects all ages, races, income levels, and both genders. Those at higher risk include the following: - People who live or work with others who have TB - Medically underserved populations - Homeless people - People from other countries where TB is prevalent - People in group settings, such as nursing homes - People who abuse alcohol - People who use intravenous drugs - People with impaired immune systems - The elderly - Health care workers who come in contact with high-risk populations The following are the most common symptoms of active TB. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. - Cough that will not go away - Chest pain - Loss of appetite - Unintended weight loss - Poor growth in children - Coughing blood or sputum - Chills or night sweats The symptoms of TB may resemble other lung conditions or medical problems. Consult a physician for a diagnosis. The TB bacterium is spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks, sings, or laughs; however, repeated exposure to the germs is usually necessary before a person will become infected. It is not likely to be transmitted through personal items, such as clothing, bedding, a drinking glass, eating utensils, a handshake, a toilet, or other items that a person with TB has touched. Adequate ventilation is the most important measure to prevent the transmission of TB. TB is diagnosed with a TB skin test. In this test, a small amount of testing material is injected into the top layer of the skin. If a certain size bump develops within two or three days, the test may be positive for tuberculosis infection. Additional tests to determine if a person has TB disease include X-rays and sputum tests. TB skin tests are suggested for those: - In high-risk categories. - Who live or work in close contact with people who are at high risk. - Who have never had a TB skin test. For skin testing in children, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends: - If the child is thought to have been exposed in the last five years. - If the child has an X-ray that looks like TB. - If the child has any symptoms of TB. - If a child is coming from countries where TB is prevalent. Yearly skin testing: - For children with HIV. - For children who are in jail. Testing every two to three years: - For children who are exposed to high-risk people. Consider testing in children from ages 4 to 6 and 11 to 16: - If a child's parent has come from a high-risk country. - If a child has traveled to high-risk areas. - Children who live in densely populated areas. Specific treatment will be determined by your physician based on: - Your age, overall health, and medical history - Extent of the disease - Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies - Expectations for the course of the disease - Your opinion or preference Treatment may include: - Short-term hospitalization - For latent TB which is newly diagnosed: Usually a six- to 12-month course of an antibiotic called isoniazid will be given to kill off the TB organisms in the body. - For active TB: Your doctor may prescribe three to four antibiotics in combination for a time period of six to nine months. Examples include: isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Patients usually begin to improve within a few weeks of the start of treatment. After two weeks of treatment with the correct medications, the patient is not usually contagious, provided that treatment is carried through to the end, as prescribed by a physician.

Guide to Tanzanian Legal System and Legal Research By Bahame Tom Nyanduga and Christabel Manning Bahame Tom Nyanduga* is Advocate of the High Court of Tanzania, and had been the President of the East Africa Law Society between October 2004 - October 2006. The main research for this compilation has been conducted by Ms. Christabel Manning, LL.B, a graduate of the University of Dar Es Salaam currently working in the Legal Department at KPMG (T) Limited and a member of the Tanzania Women Lawyers Association-TAWLA. Read the Update! Table of Contents The United Republic of Tanzania is situated on the eastern seaboard of the African continent, about one degree south of the Equator. Its eastern border is the Indian Ocean, it shares its northern border with the Republic of Kenya and Uganda, and to the West it borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of Rwanda and the Republic of Burundi. The Republic of Zambia and the Republic of Malawi share its borders on the southwest, while in the South it shares a border with Mozambique; it is the union of two historical countries, Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The United Republic of Tanzania was formed in 1964 through the union of two independent states, namely the Republic of Tanganyika and the Peoples’ Republic of Zanzibar. Zanzibar is an autonomous part of the United Republic, and is made up of two islands, namely Unguja and Pemba, which are found in the territorial waters of the United Republic, in the Indian Ocean. Another island to the south east of the Tanzania, Mafia, is an integral part of mainland Tanzania. Tanganyika gained its independence from the British, who administered her after the end of the WWII under the United Nations Trusteeship; on 9th December 1961 she became a Republic on 9th December 1962. Zanzibar became independent on 12th December 1963. Prior to her independence, Zanzibar, which was ruled by an Arab Sultanate, and enjoyed a protectorate status under the British. One month after she gained independence, the Arab Sultanate regime of Zanzibar was overthrown by a popular revolution on 12th January 1964, which led to the creation of the Revolution Government of Zanzibar. The Republic of Tanganyika and the Peoples’ Republic of Zanzibar entered into a union on 26th April 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, which was later renamed on 29th October the United Republic of Tanzania. At the time of the Union, Tanganyika was governed by a political party know as the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU), the nationalist party which won the country its independence, while Zanzibar was rule by the Afro Shiraz Party (ASP) which had lead the popular revolution. The two states were by then governed under the one party system of government, i.e. the one party state democracy, which was then very prevalent in Africa. In 1977 the TANU and ASP merged to form the Chama Cha Mapinduzi-CCM party, (otherwise known as the Revolutionary Party), which continued to exercise political control through out the country under the one party regime. The United Republic of Tanzania was under the leadership of one party system until 1992 when she adopted a new constitution, which enabled the organization of pluralist political parties, and hence in 1995 the first multi party democratic elections were held in the country. Since 1995 the country has held such multi party elections in 2000, and 2005. Tanzania’s legal system is based on the English Common Law system. It derived this system from its British colonial legacy, as it does the system of government, which is based to a large degree on the Westminster parliamentary model. Unlike the unwritten British constitutional system, the first source of law for the United Republic of Tanzania is the 1977 Constitution. The constitutional history of Tanganyika traces its background from the 1961 Independence Constitution, which was adopted at the time of independence. In 1962 Tanganyika adopted the Republican Constitution, which operated from 1962 up to 1965. These two were based on the traditional Lancaster style constitutions negotiated at independence by the British upon handover of state power to newly independent states. In 1965 Tanganyika adopted an Interim Constitution while the country awaited a new constitution to be drafted, after it abolished the multi party political system and adopted a one party state system. The process lingered longer than it was meant to and thus the constitution lasted from 1965 up to 1977 when a new constitution was adopted and it has remained applicable to date, with fourteen subsequent amendments. The Constitution provides for a bill of rights, notwithstanding the fact that it also makes provision for a number of claw-back clauses. In other words the enjoyment of certain rights and freedoms under the constitution is not absolute, but it is subject to legal regulation. The Bill of Rights is found in part three of the first Chapter of the Constitution and the fundamental rights and freedom are stipulated in article 12 to 24, article 25 to 28 imposes duties on every individual to duties and obligations to respect the rights of others and society. Article 29 establishes the obligation of society to every individual. Article 30 of the Constitution limits the application of these rights subject to law and the under the due process of law, as the case may be. The Constitution allows any person to challenge any law or act/omission, which contravenes his or her right, or the Constitution. The second source of law is the Statutes or Acts of Parliament. The Laws Revisions Act of 1994 Chapter Four of the laws of Tanzania [R.E. 2002,] established that all legislations previously known as Ordinances, i.e. those which were enacted by the pre independence colonial administration, as Orders in Council, can now be legally recognized as Acts. These principal legislations, and subsidiary legislations thereto, are published in the Government Gazette and printed by the Tanzania Government Printers. The third source is case law. These are cases from the High Court and Court of Appeal which are either reported or unreported and are be used as precedents, and bind lower courts thereto. Reported Tanzanian cases are found in the Tanzania Law Reports, High Court Digests and East Africa Law Reports. The fourth source is Received Laws established under Section 2.3 of The Judicature and Application Laws Act, Chapter 358 of the Laws of Tanzania [R.E. 2002] (JALA) these include: Common Law, and Doctrine of Equity, Statutes of General Application of England, applicable before the 22 of July 1920, which is deemed to be the Reception date for English Law in Tanzania. The fifth source is the Customary and Islamic law, which are established under section 9 of JALA. Whereby customary law is in effect only when it does not conflict with statutory law whilst Islamic law is applicable to Muslims under the Judicature and Applications of Laws Act, empowering courts to apply Islamic law to matters of succession in communities that generally follow Islamic law in matters of personal status and inheritance. International Laws, that is, Treaties and Conventions, are not self-executing. The Act of Parliament can apply treaties and conventions to which Tanzania is a party in the Courts in Tanzania only after ratification The United Republic of Tanzania is a unitary state based on a multiparty parliamentary democracy. In 1992 the Tanzanian government introduced constitutional reforms permitting the establishment of opposition political parties. All matters of state in the United Republic are exercised and controlled by the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania and the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar. The Government of The United Republic of Tanzania has authority over all Union matters in the United Republic, as stipulated under the Constitution, and it also runs all non union matters on Mainland Tanzania, i.e. the territory formerly known as Tanganyika. Non-union matters are all those which do not appear in the Schedule to the Constitution which stipulates the list of Union matters. The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, similarly, has authority on Tanzania Zanzibar, i.e. the territory composed of the islands of Unguja and Pemba, over all matters, which are not Union Matters. In this respect the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar has a separate Executive, legislature, known as the House of Representatives, and a judicial structure, which functions from the Primary Court level to the High Court of Zanzibar, which are provided for under the 1984 Constitution of Zanzibar. There are three organs for central government of the United Republic of Tanzania: the Executive, Judiciary and the Legislature. Local Government Authority is exercised through Regional and District Commissioners The functions and powers of each of the three organs are laid out in the 1977 Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania. Parliament is established under Chapter Three, the Executive is established under Chapter Two and the Judiciary under Chapter Five. The Executive of the United Republic comprises of the President, The Vice-President, President of Zanzibar, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers. The President of the United Republic is the Head of State, the Head of Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The President is the Leader of the Executive of the United Republic of Tanzania The Vice President who is the principal assistant to the President in all matters of the United Republic is responsible for: The Prime Minister of the United Republic is the leader of Government business in the National Assembly, controls, supervises and executes daily functions and affairs of the Government of the United Republic, and any other matters the President directs to be done. The President of Zanzibar is the Head of the Executive for Zanzibar, i.e.; the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar and is the Chairman of the Zanzibar Revolutionary Council. The Cabinet of Ministers, which includes the Prime Minister, is appointed by the President from among members of the National Assembly. The Government executes its functions through Ministers led by Cabinet Ministers. President Jakaya M Kikwete became the current President of the United Republic on the 21st December of 2005 after a historic victory, winning 80.3% of the total votes, and Dr Ali Mohammed Shein is the Vice President of the United Republic of Tanzania. Dr Shein had previously served as Vice-President since 5th July 2001, prior to the 2005 General Elections. Since independence, Tanzania has held peaceful elections. Tanzania was a one-party system of democracy between 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, and 1990; in the first elections, held in 1962, the ruling party captured all seats hence the de-facto one party state emerged, to be later regularized by law in 1965. In 1992, following the constitutional reforms, described herein above, the formation and organization of political parties is now conducted under the Political Parties Act 1992. About 18 political parties have been registered since then and multiparty general elections were held under the new multiparty system in 1995, 2000, and 2005. The Legislature, or the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania, consists of two parts, i.e. the President and the National Assembly. The President exercises authority vested in him by the Constitution to assent to bills by Parliament in order to complete the enactment process before they become law. The National Assembly, which is the principal legislative organ of the United Republic, has authority on behalf of the people to oversee and the accountability of the Government of the United Republic and all its organs of their particular duties. The Parliament is headed by the Speaker, who is assisted by the Deputy Speaker, and the Clerk as the head of the Secretariat of the National Assembly. The National Assembly also has various standing Committees to support in its various functions. The National Assembly of Tanzania is constituted by one chamber, with members elected form various constituencies across mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. Under the Constitution, women’s representation is provided for as a special category, in order to increase the participation of women in national politics. Elections are supervised by the National Electoral Commission which is established under the Constitution. The legal system of Tanzania is largely based on common law, as stated previously, but is also accommodates Islamic or customary laws, the latter sources of law being called upon called upon in personal or family matters. The judiciary is formed by the various courts of judicature and is independent of the government. Tanzania adheres to and respects the constitutional principles of separation of powers. The Constitutional makes provision for the establishment of an independent judiciary, and the respect for the principles of the rule of law, human rights and good governance. The Judiciary in Tanzania can be illustrated as follows. The Judiciary in Tanzania has four tiers: The Court of Appeal of the United Republic of Tanzania, the High Courts for Mainland Tanzania and Tanzania Zanzibar, Magistrates Courts, which are at two levels, i.e. the Resident Magistrate Courts and the District Court, both of which have concurrent jurisdiction. Primary Courts are the lowest in the judicial hierarchy. Court of Appeal The Specialized Divisions - High Court of Tanzania -- The High Court of Zanzibar Resident Magistrates Courts Court of Appeal The Court of Appeal of Tanzania, established under Article 108 of the Constitution, is the highest Court in the hierarchy of judiciary in Tanzania. It consists of the Chief Justice and other Justices of Appeal. The Court of Appeal of Tanzania is the court of final appeal at the apex of the judiciary in Tanzania. The High Court of Tanzania (for mainland Tanzania) and the High Court of Zanzibar are courts of unlimited original jurisdiction, and appeals there from go to the Court of Appeal. The High Court of Tanzania was established under Article 107 of the Constitution and it has unlimited original jurisdiction to entertain all types of cases. The High Courts exercise original jurisdiction on matters of a constitutional nature and have powers to entertain election petitions. The High Court’s Main Registry, (which includes the sub-Registries) caters for all civil and criminal matters. The High Court (mainland Tanzania) has established 10 sub Registries in different zone of the country. It also has two specialised divisions, the Commercial Division and the Land Division. All appeals from subordinate courts go to the High Court of Tanzania. These include the Resident Magistrate Courts and the District Courts, which both enjoy concurrent jurisdiction. These courts are established under the Magistrate Courts Act of 1984. The District Courts, unlike the Resident Magistrates Courts, are found throughout all the districts in Tanzania (the local government unit.) They receive appeals from the Primary Courts, several of which will be found in one district. The resident magistrates Courts are located in major towns, municipalities and cities, which serve as the regional (provincial) headquarters. The primary courts are the lowest courts in the hierarchy and are established under the Magistrates Courts Act of 1984. They deal with criminal cases and civil cases. Civil cases on property and family law matters which apply customary law and Islamic law must be initiated at the level of the Primary Court, where the Magistrates sits with lay assessors. (The jury system does not apply in Tanzania) There are specialized tribunals, which form part of the judicial structure. These for example include District Land and Housing Tribunal, Tax Tribunal and the Tax Appeals Tribunal, Labour Reconciliation Board, the Tanzania Industrial Court, and Military Tribunals for the Armed forces. Military Courts do not try civilians. A party who feels dissatisfied with any decision of the Tribunals may refer the same to the High Court for judicial review The High Court of Zanzibar has exclusive original jurisdiction for all matters in Zanzibar, as is the case for the High Court on mainland Tanzania. The Zanzibar court system is quite similar to the Tanzania mainland system, except that Zanzibar retains Islamic courts. These adjudicate Muslim family cases such as divorces, child custody and inheritance. All other appeals from the High Court of Zanzibar go to the Court of Appeal of Tanzania. The structure of the Zanzibar legal system is as follows; Court of Appeal Magistrate Court ↔ Kadhi’s Appeal Courts Primary Courts Kadhi’s Court Court of Appeal of Tanzania The Court of Appeal Tanzania handles all matters from the High Court of Zanzibar. The High Court of Zanzibar is structured with the same structure as the High Court of Tanzania Mainland and it handles all appeals from the lower subordinate courts. These Courts have jurisdiction to entertain cases of different nature, except for cases under Islamic law, which they have no jurisdiction to try which are tried in the Kadhi’s courts. Kadhi’s Appeal Court The main role of the Kadhi’s Appeal Court of Zanzibar is to hear all appeals from the Kadhi’s court, which adjudicates on Islamic law. These are the lowest courts in Zanzibar which have adjudicate all Islamic family matters such as divorce, distribution of matrimonial assets, custody of children and inheritance but only with Muslim families. These have the same rank as the Kadhi’s Courts and they deal with criminal and civil cases of customary nature. There are a number of places one can obtain legal materials in Tanzania: Libraries, The Library of the Court of Appeal of Tanzania, the High Court Library, the High Court Land Division Library, Commercial Division of the High Court Library, the Attorney General’s Office at the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, University of Dar Es Salaam, National Archives, Government Bookshop, Dar Es Salaam Bookshop, the United Nations Information Centre, The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Mzumbe University and many more others.

\|Guidelines for small-scale fruit and vegetable processors. (FAO Agricultural Services Bulletin - 127) (1997)\| \|Part 2 - Processing for sale\| \|2.6. Contracts with suppliers and retailers\| Many small scale processors buy fruits and vegetables daily from their nearest public market. Although this is simple and straightforward, it creates a number of problems for a business: for example, the processors have little control over the price charged by traders each day and because of the large seasonal price fluctuations that characterise these raw materials, this makes financial planning and control over cashflow more difficult (Section 2.3.4). The processor is also unable to schedule the raw materials in the quantities required and it is common for production to fail to meet a target because there are simply not enough fruits and vegetables for sale on a particular day. Additionally, the processor has no control over the way fruits and vegetables are handled during harvest and transport to the markets and therefore no influence over the quality of the raw materials that are available (see also Section 2.7.2). To address these problems, a processor can arrange contracts with either traders or farmers, in an attempt to have greater control over the amount of raw materials available for processing each day and their quality and price. This is not a common arrangement at present in most developing countries, possibly because commercial food processing is a relatively recent activity and there is no history of collaboration and formal contracts. However, where this has been done, there are benefits to both processor and suppliers, provided that the arrangements are made honourably and there is mutual trust. The benefits to farmers are a guaranteed price for their crop, based on a sliding scale of quality and a guaranteed market when it is harvested. However, the traders who tour an area to buy crops provide a number of benefits to farmers that processors should not ignore when arranging contracts: for example the traders frequently buy the whole crop, regardless of quality and either sort it themselves for different markets or sell it on to wholesalers who do the sorting. From the farmers perspective, they receive payment at the farm, without having to worry about marketing their crop or disposal of substandard items. Although farmers have a guaranteed market by selling to traders, they have virtually no control over the prices offered and can be exploited, particularly at the peak of a growing season when there is an over-supply of a particular crop. Traders also provide a number of other services that farmers may find difficult to obtain elsewhere: traders may be the only realistic source of farming tools and other inputs such as seeds; they are also a source of immediate informal credit, which farmers may require to buy inputs or for other needs such as funerals and weddings. Although the interest payments on such loans may be much higher than those charged on commercial loans, farmers often have no access to banks or other lenders and in practice have no choice. In many countries, large numbers of farmers are permanently indebted to traders for their lifetimes and are only released from the debt by sale of land. When processors begin to negotiate contracts with farmers, they should therefore be aware that farmers may be unwilling to break the existing arrangements with traders, either because of genuine fears that they will lose the services provided or because they are indebted to traders and have no ability to make other arrangements. The local power of traders should not be under-estimated and may range from a refusal to offer further loans to farmers, a threat not to buy the crop again if sales are made directly to processors, a demand that farmers repay loans immediately and in extreme cases, physical violence. Despite the problems described above, there are possibilities for processors to agree contracts to supply fruits and vegetables of a specified variety and quality with individual farmers or with groups of farmers who may be working cooperatively. Typically a specification would include the variety to be grown, the degree of maturity at harvest, freedom from infection etc. The price paid for the crop is agreed in advance and may be set between the mid-season lowest point and the pre- and post-season high points. Alternatively a sliding scale of prices is agreed, based on one or more easily measurable characteristics such as minimum size or agreed colour range, with an independent person being present to confirm the agreement in case of later disputes. The agreement may also specify the minimum or maximum amount that will be bought. In a formal contract, these agreement are written down and signed by both parties, although such formal contracts are rare in most developing countries. Processors should also consider the other forms of assistance that could be offered to farmers. For example, in some other larger scale processing such as tea and coffee production, processors offer training and an extension service to address problems with the crop as they arise throughout the growing season. Although this may be beyond the resources of small scale processors, more limited types of assistance may include purchasing tools, fertilizer or other requirements in bulk with the savings being passed on to farmers. Alternatively, part-payment for the crop can be made in advance so that farmers can buy inputs without the need for credit and the consequent indebtedness. The advantages to the processor are greater control over the quality of raw materials and the varieties that are planted, some control over the amounts supplied and an advance indication of likely raw material costs which assists in both financial control and production planning (Sections 2.3.4 and 2.7.1). The advantage to the farmer is the security of having a guaranteed market for the crop at a known price, together with any other incentives that may be offered by processors. However, this type of arrangement can only operate successfully when both processors and farmers honour their side of the agreement. In the authors experience, there have been a number of occasions when these forms of agreement have been tried, but have failed because one party breaks their part of the contract. Typically, this can be farmers who sell part of their crop to traders at each end of the season, when the price is higher than that offered by the processor. The expected volume of crop is not then available to the processor and planned production capacity cannot be achieved, seriously damaging both sales and cashflow. Alternatively, the processor delays payment to farmers, resulting in the need for them to take another loan and greater indebtedness. The processor may also fail to buy the agreed amount of crop and farmers are left to find alternative markets without the option of supplying traders who may refuse to buy it or may offer an insignificant price. A slightly different approach is that in which a processor takes a greater degree of control over production of the crop and specifies the types of fruit or vegetable to be grown, supplies seeds and other inputs, even including labour. In effect farmers are paid by the processor for the use of their land. Although this involves greater organisational complexity and higher operating costs for the processor, the benefits of an assured supply of raw materials having the correct qualities for processing may outweigh the disadvantages, particularly in situations where the demand for a crop outstrips the supply. A further development of the approach is for the processor to rent or buy land and set up a separate operation to supply the processing unit. This often happens in reverse when an existing farmer diversifies into processing but retains the farm. In either case the processor hires the labour and supplies all inputs needed to operate the farm. The bulk of the produce supplies the processing unit with any excess being sold in local markets or to traders.	<urn:uuid:84ac689e-4879-46dc-a5dd-a7bd2f47b26a>	2013-05-21T10:36:31Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.00823974609375, 0.0208740234375, -0.00494384765625, 0.014404296875, 0.099609375, -0.072265625, 0.00775146484375, 0.099609375, -0.0035552978515625, -0.019775390625, 0.076171875, 0.013427734375, -0.083984375, 0.01513671875, 0.035888671875, -0.010437...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.961126	1,499	http://www.nzdl.org/gsdlmod?e=d-00000-00---off-0aginfo--00-0----0-10-0---0---0direct-10---4-------0-1l--11-en-50---20-about---00-0-1-00-0--4----0-0-11-10-0utfZz-8-00&a=d&cl=CL3.26&d=HASH0130f8e3035d966e6f07e008.7.6.fc	0.177393
The pilots of an Air New Zealand flight from Wellington to Sydney had to turn back this morning due to an "engineering issue''. The Airbus A320 had been due to arrive in Sydney at 8.20am local time after leaving Wellington at 6.40am today. But the pilots on flight NZ845 elected to return to New Zealand "due to an engineering issue'', an Air New Zealand spokeswoman said. The plane did not return to Wellington and was diverted to Auckland, where the airline has its technical operations base. "The aircraft was inspected by engineers, and continued its journey to Sydney shortly after 10am,'' the spokeswoman said.	<urn:uuid:dea1415c-3154-4434-b0bb-3f88210bc7c6>	2013-05-21T10:29:21Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.02002936229109764, 0.0438338927924633, -0.0044830115512013435, 0.0036965184845030308, 0.07592281699180603, -0.06753356009721756, -0.026006711646914482, 0.04278523474931717, -0.008651426061987877, -0.06711409240961075, 0.0968959704041481, 0.020868288353085518, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.98173	131	http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10859954	0.465697
- Special Sections - Restaurant Guide A Maiden woman was hospitalized after being stabbed in the parking lot of an area convenience store. Police say the stabbing stemmed from a verbal altercation between two women at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday at the Shell gas station at 610 E. Main St. in Maiden. Francis Blancher, 41, of Maiden, was hospitalized at Carolinas Medical Center's Lincoln campus after being stabbed in the abdomen with a knife. Blancher was discharged from the hospital as of 9 a.m. Monday, according to a representative of CMC-Lincoln. Â It appears Blancher was stabbed after getting into a verbal and physical argument with Lisa Reynolds, 44, of Lincolnton, a known acquaintance. â€śThere had been an altercation in the parking lot and some type of struggle ensued, which subsequently led to the stabbing,â€ť said Maiden Police Chief Tracy Ledford. â€śThere is an ongoing feud between these individuals.â€ť Â Maiden Police responded to the stabbing call shortly after 5:30 p.m. Sunday, but the involved parties had already left the Shell gas station, Ledford said. Police were able to identify Blancher as the victim shortly thereafter at CMC-Lincoln. Reynolds turned herself in Sunday. She is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and is in Catawba County Jail with her bail set at $10,000.	<urn:uuid:45f1366e-380c-491f-b762-06434fe78cfa>	2013-05-21T10:16:48Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.015761662274599075, 0.019497085362672806, -0.01785714365541935, -0.0032798834145069122, 0.09220116585493088, -0.02678571455180645, -0.005625911056995392, 0.05648688226938248, -0.02824344113469124, -0.07908163219690323, 0.12536443769931793, 0.032616619020700455, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.967821	317	http://www.observernewsonline.com/content/woman-stabbed-maiden-feud?quicktabs_2=2	0.257126
The Expeditions : The year is 1844. Sixteen-year-old runaway Elisha Stone is in Detroit, a hardscrabble frontier town on the edge of the civilized world. A canny survivor with the instincts of a born naturalist, Elisha signs on to an expedition into Michigan's vast, uncharted Upper Peninsula. The party is led by two charismatic adventurers: Silas Brush, a ruthless land-grabbing ex-soldier, and George Tiffin, a quixotic professor desperate to discover proof of his unorthodox theories about the origins of man. On the eve of the expedition's departure, Elisha pens a heartfelt letter to his mother in Newell, Massachusetts. But it is Elisha's estranged father, the Reverend William Edward Stone, who opens the envelope. Grief-stricken by the recent death of his wife - a death Elisha could not have known about - Reverend Stone is jolted into action: he must find his son. What follows is a powerful narrative about the complex love between fathers and sons and an evocative portrait of an era of faith, wonder, and violence. While Elisha's journey draws him deeper into uncharted territory, Reverend Stone must navigate through a country in turmoil as he moves toward an inevitable reunion with a son who has become a stranger.	<urn:uuid:a487e2bb-de89-4637-a65e-686ff4bd68db>	2013-05-21T10:01:15Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.004294448532164097, 0.009510869160294533, -0.0035908385179936886, 0.023000776767730713, 0.06444099545478821, -0.03396739065647125, -0.008249223232269287, 0.09316769987344742, -0.021739130839705467, -0.029891304671764374, 0.05318323150277138, 0.02028338424861431, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.949188	274	http://www.ofertondelibros.com/Bookstore/Book/The-Expeditions/_/R-9780385335959B	0.853116
"Almanac"—the word comes from the Arabic al-manakh, meaning "the calendar," earlier "the weather," deriving ultimately from ma-, "a place," and nakha, "to kneel," or a place where camels kneel, a seasonal stopping place, a camp or settlement. Coming as it does from a nomadic human society, it is a fitting word as we talk about our bird life, and their travels and destinations, all as they are influenced by the season of the year. In order to understand the vital interplay of time and space as they determine which birds they'll bring us, let us first set aside time to deal with space. For birds, Ohio's longitude has less to do with time, except as it determines the diurnal rhythms of night and day, and as it figured eons ago in the shifting of continents, where our present longitude marks our place between mountain ranges, at the edge of the feathering-out of the great prairies and the great forests, and consequently midway between the great north- and southbound rivers of birds in the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways. Our latitude, by contrast, is all about time for birds—their seasonal movements north and south, their life cycles along the way, the timing of migrations and even vagrancy, the changing length of daylight and the intensity of Earth's magnetic fields, even their habitats as developed in the topography of our land as formed by mile-high glaciers moving latitudinally thousands of years ago, forming our plains and hills, Lake Erie, and the Ohio River. Survival for birds means successful breeding, and for this success timing is everything. For migrants, early arrival at the breeding grounds is balanced against the risk of arriving too soon to find adequate food; attempting a second brood must be balanced by the risk of an early reduction in food sources. The phenology of predators, frosts, food sources, leafing of local plants, rain cycles, etc., all affect breeding success, and the species we see have successfully adapted to these influences to remain with us today. Humans have recently (here, over the past two hundred years) radically influenced some of these influences, upsetting delicate balances, and our bird life is changing as a result. We have removed some predators, and encouraged the proliferation of others. We have apparently caused climatic warming, with earlier springs and later winters. We have introduced exotic animals and plants. We have bulldozed and burned and filled in and poisoned bird habitats. We allow birds to be killed in great numbers, but not, we reassure ourselves, in numbers too great to diminish them. Our effect on the life cycles of birds is dramatic, ongoing, and uncertain as to ultimate outcome. Reassuringly, it is still possible to discern primeval patterns of birds' natural life cycles throughout the year. Birders find the continuation of these cycles deeply satisfying as a continuous manifestation of the renewal of life, and a way to measure and better understand, during our short span, the passage of time. Fifty or more species of our birds remain pretty much equally abundant year-round, present in good numbers in every month. Many are the most familiar of our familiar birds, but even to them the calendar brings profound changes. The crows, robins, blue jays, and song sparrows we see year-round are not always the same birds, as these are at least in part migratory species, with different cohorts inhabiting different places at different times of year. Their behavior, too, may change radically over the calendar year: robins that are solitary worm-eaters in summer will flock in winter to eat fruit. The breeding cycle, with all its changes over times, governs all—migrating, singing, incubating, fledging, flocking, molting. Many species have expanded their ranges over recent time—mockingbirds, titmice, cardinals, house finches—and many once-common birds have receded beyond Ohio's borders: prairie-chickens, Bachman's sparrows, and Bewick's wrens are no longer to be found here. Time has claimed some of our birds forever—the passenger pigeon, the Eskimo curlew, the Carolina parakeet—but there is time to save the rest.	<urn:uuid:1439912f-f481-4834-9bfb-531cc6451f12>	2013-05-21T10:21:22Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.0035858154296875, 0.01519775390625, -0.015625, 0.017578125, 0.061279296875, -0.076171875, 0.01007080078125, 0.1103515625, -0.0224609375, -0.0024871826171875, 0.06396484375, 0.00323486328125, -0.03369140625, 0.0172119140625, 0.01025390625, 0.009338...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.960016	892	http://www.ohiobirds.org/site/library/almanac/introduction.php	0.250531
Seanad Éireann - Volume 21 - 21 July, 1938 Extension of Vocational Organisation. Debate resumed on the following motion: That, in the opinion of the Seanad, a small commission should be appointed by the Government to examine and report on the possibility of extending vocational organisation by legislative or administrative action.—Senators MacDermot and Tierney. The Taoiseach Eamon de Valera The Taoiseach: I was very sorry I was not able to be here to listen to the speeches delivered by the proposer and seconder of the motion, and if other Senators wish to speak on the motion I should prefer to wait and hear what they have to say. Mr. Douglas Mr. Douglas Mr. Douglas: The difficulty is that we understood that the Taoiseach would have an opportunity now, so as not to take up his time, and those of us who intended to take part in the debate were reckoning on its taking place after the Bills on the Order Paper had been disposed of. The Taoiseach Eamon de Valera The Taoiseach: So far as I am concerned, it is simply a question of saying that I am in favour of the motion, because, whatever view may be taken of it, I cannot see that any harm can be done in having a commission set up to examine the question. It does not commit anyone in advance to any particular viewpoint or to any of the findings, because we have no idea what they may be. The resolution, as it stands here, is “That, in the opinion of the Seanad, a small commission should be appointed by the Government to examine and report on the possibility of extending vocational organisation by legislative or administrative action.” The only question is whether it should not be somewhat wider in its terms of reference than it is—whether there might not be some other methods of encouragement. I am sure, however, that whatever methods of encouragement might be adopted by the Government could be included in the two terms “legislative” or “administrative.” Personally, I have no objection, and no member of the Government, so far as I am aware, has any objection to such a commission being set up. It would be of great importance that this matter should be examined home to see how far the fundamental ideas are capable of being applied in our country and in what direction they might be best applied. If it is simply a question of our view, we have no reason at all to object to this motion being passed, and, if it is passed, we will implement it. Mr. Hayes Mr. Hayes Mr. Hayes: Could the Taoiseach give us any idea as to what type of commission he thinks would be suitable? I think that only one of the speakers on the motion made any suggestion on the matter. In the absence of any statement to the contrary, it seems to me that what is contemplated is that the Government should appoint a commission. I take it that is what the Taoiseach understands from it and I wonder what kind of a commission either the movers or the Taoiseach have in mind. Sir John Keane Sir John Keane Sir John Keane: My difficulty about the motion is that the mover, and probably to some degree the seconder, hung this on to the question of a better Seanad. I do not think that is implicit in the motion itself. It was suggested— I may be wrong—that it is due to the defects of our vocational organisation that the Seanad is not of the character some people would like to see it. I do not agree with that. I think, so far as vocational organisation is concerned, that there is no serious fault to be found in its approach to a Seanad. It is the method of election that has been at fault. The vocational organisations put on the panel quite a lot of what I personally considered satisfactory candidates, but in many cases they could not survive the process of election. On the general question of vocational organisation, that is another matter and it opens up a very big question indeed which will require a lot of thought and, I suggest, a very big change in public opinion before it can take practical form. If I might suggest it, the best example we have of the full operation of vocational organisation is that in the Church of Ireland. There is no doubt that the peculiar conditions there lend themselves to cohesion. But, in that body, you have certain powers of legislation very much in the sense of a self-governing vocational body. I see great difficulties in extending that to the agricultural industry, but so far as the approach can be made, it is along those lines I think that you should try to work, to build up a vocational organisation of such a form that a large number of questions within the sphere of agriculture could be referred to what you might call an agricultural Parliament, no doubt with overriding powers and veto by the Dáil. The same with industry. Of course, as we all know, that is very remote. We can only work to that in a very slow and tentative manner, but that would be the ideal at which we should aim. So far as a commission could help in thinking out all that, it would be all to the good. Mr. Douglas Mr. Douglas Mr. Douglas: One reason I did not wish to speak until we had some indication of the view of the Government was that, if they were not prepared to accept the general idea of a commission, alternative suggestions might be made. I am glad that the Taoiseach indicated that, at any rate, the idea would be favourably considered. It seems to me that Senator Tierney was quite right when he said that the two questions, the question of extending vocational organisation in the country, and the question of a Seanad which might be elected more or less on vocational lines were two distinct questions. I would not like to see them mixed up in the reference to any commission. I read very carefully the two speeches made and was particularly impressed by the line taken by Senator Tierney. I, at any rate, did not get his ideas as clearly from listening to him as from reading carefully his speech, which I think is worthy of study whether you agree with it or not. There are considerable practical difficulties, almost insurmountable difficulties, but if a suitable commission was prepared to give time to study the problem, apart from the question of a vocational Seanad, I think it might be of considerable value. At any rate, having regard to the general ideals which were accepted fairly well by all sides in this country some 15, 16, 17, 18 years ago, it seems to me that there is a duty upon us to consider the problems put forward in this resolution, and more particularly in the speeches on the resolution. I would hope that, so far as possible, persons like most of us here who have taken an active part in politics, if not excluded from the commission, would be very definitely in a minority, because I think it is a matter on which we would have to get entirely away from politics as we have known them in the last 15 years. We have a number of divisions which seem to be largely unnatural. I should like to see those of us who may happen to be here after the next election appointing a committee of our own to consider amendments or improvements in the method of election, which was referred to by Senator Sir John Keane. I think that that would be a thing apart, and that it would not be necessary to wait in respect of it until you had a detailed report from a commission of this kind. That is one of the reasons why I should like to see the two things kept distinct. An expansion of vocationalism would have to be brought about by a policy carried over a considerable number of years. There would be a lot of difficulties to be surmounted, and I do not think you should necessarily wait until that is achieved before making an attempt to rectify the things which have not worked very well in connection with the election of the Seanad. I am glad that the Government is prepared to accept the principle of this resolution, and I think that the Seanad should approve of it without a division. Mr. O'Callaghan Mr. O'Callaghan Mr. O'Callaghan: The extension of vocational organisation is very desirable. It may, or may not, give us a better Seanad. It may, or may not, give us a better Dáil. If carried to its logical conclusion, it may deprive this House of the services of the proposer and seconder of this motion. That, of course, would be a step in the wrong direction. What I propose to say, I want to direct to two vocational organisations in connection with agriculture —the Dairy Shorthorn Breeders' Society and the Beetgrowers' Association. I shall first deal with a small portion of the work carried on by the Dairy Shorthorn Breeders' Society. Anybody going through the City of Dublin will see the tramcars and buses decorated with “drink more milk” slogans. That was brought about by representations made to the Minister for Agriculture by the Dairy Shorthorn Breeders' Society. The drink-more-milk campaign will have a very great effect on the health of the nation. It will do away with patent medicines and doctors' bills. People will have more money to spend and they will be more cheerful. It may even bring about the setting up of a milk bar in Leinster House where, under the influence of milk cocktails, Party bitterness will entirely disappear and a new spirit will supplant the old. I am just relating this small section of the work of the Dairy Shorthorn Breeders' Society to illustrate the good that an association of that kind might do for the State and for the people. There is, then, the Beet Growers' Association, which some people seem to overlook. It has a membership of 30,000 beet growers and speaks for some thousands of grain growers. Most of the beet growers in the West of Ireland are small farmers. The average acreage is about one and a half per grower. It is a little more in other areas. I tell you that to illustrate the fact that the labour used is family labour; not paid labour. In the other areas, the acreage is a little bit greater but not much. Seventy-five per cent of the beet grown in this country is grown by family help. The difficulty with the beet growers is the question of price and not the setting up to guilds or organisations of any kind. The Beet Growers' Association have had considerable difficulty in getting a price to which they would be agreeable. Some experts seem to have advised the Government that sufficient acreage would be got at the price which is being offered. That advice was wrong and it has done considerable harm to the industry. There is a shrinkage of 12,000 acres in this year's beet crop and, unless the crop is a very bountiful one this season, it will be very difficult to get beet for 1939. I am glad that the Taoiseach is here because we have not had an opportunity of telling him what the position is. The powers that be say that the man who lends his money is entitled to his due reward. They say that the factory worker is entitled to get what he gets. They say that the cost of sugar must not be increased to the public and that the State cannot give any further help. They say that, after full provision is made for depreciation and reserves, the beet grower can get the rest. The position is an anxious one for the beet grower who is anxious to get the industry going. He finds himself at the wrong end of the stick. We have been discussing the formation of guilds and several ways and means of getting a price that will induce the farmer to grow beet. We have in the current issue of the Beet Growers' Journal an article from a very distinguished churchman on the formation of guilds in connection with the Beet Growers' Association. That journal was sent to 30,000 or 35,000 growers and was read by them and their families. In that way, we have done a lot to educate public opinion about the formation of vocational bodies. A motion will be discussed at the annual meeting in connection with this matter and any member of this House who cares to go and listen to it will be provided with a seat in the distinguished strangers' gallery. Three factors, in my view, govern the sugar industry. One is the man who lends his money—in other words, the capitalist. I do not call him a capitalist because plenty of small men lent small sums for the setting up of the industry. Then, there is the factory worker and, then, the beet grower. A vocational body composed of these three factors would seem to be a desirable way of controlling the industry but the difficulty the beet grower has is that he will be coming in as the underdog. He regards the other people as being well away and he does not regard himself as being on the same plane. The only difficulty we have in connection with the setting up of that guild to control the sugar industry is the question of price. I hold that the beet grower is the backbone of the industry and that he should not play second fiddle to any of the other component parts. The setting up of a commission may not be the right means of developing vocational organisation. I know the way the Dairy Shorthorn Breeders' Society was set up. It was got going by half a dozen people who put their backs into the work. If we had sufficient civic spirit, and if we had a little more national pride, there might not be any need of a commission to deal with vocational organisation. Vocational organisation is very desirable, but whether or not the setting up of a commission is the proper means of approaching it, I leave the House to judge. Mr. Quirke Mr. Quirke Mr. Quirke: I find myself largely in agreement with Senator Sir John Keane, so far as this motion is concerned, in so far as he says that too much stress was laid on the system of electing the Seanad. This question of a system of election for this House was under discussion for several months. During that time, very little in the way of suggestion that was of any use came from any quarter. As always happens, the best hurlers are on the ditch. If anybody can suggest a better method than the method which has been in operation up to now, I am sure the Government will be quite pleased. The present system is far from perfect, but I believe that it is the best system that could be found under existing conditions. I am not against the setting up of a commission, for the reason that I believe that the discussion of this motion will create a better atmosphere so far as the development of vocational organisation is concerned. With all due respect to the proposer and seconder, I think that the motion is not properly worded. I do not believe that vocational organisation can be developed by legislative means. I believe that it will have to be a natural growth. The atmosphere at present is more favourable to this purpose than it has ever been for the simple reason that vocational organisation should be the natural outcome of the activities of a native Government. As a result of this commission and as a result of the activities of some of the Senators who have been sent here by vocational bodies, that atmosphere will spread and, even within the next year or two years, even if we did nothing further about the matter, we should have considerable development in that direction. I think that there was very little of value in the speeches made by the proposer and seconder of the motion. They rambled from the subject. I believe that a commission can do very little of itself to achieve our purpose, but that the setting up of a commission, combined with the discussion we have had, will induce people to talk about the matter. They will find that useful work has been done by some of the Senators sent here by various bodies and they will realise that it is up to them to organise themselves into groups and send men here who will look after their interests. At the same time, some of the men sent here would be well advised to keep away from politics. Political speeches in this House by men sent here by vocational bodies will have a tendency to prevent development of opinion in the direction which we seek. Mr. Condon Mr. Condon Mr. Condon: I consider this a most fascinating subject, particularly as we can all talk with extraordinary wisdom about it, seeing that few people know very much concerning it. So far, the speeches have been good. There was, certainly, a shock for all of us in the proposing of the motion. We are used to shocks in this House after the major shock of the dissolution of the Dáil, which meant that we, as a body, were about to be dissolved before we were familiar with the upholstery of the place. After that, we can get over any shocks. The seconder of the motion ought to have got a shock when he heard all that was said by the proposer as to what he considered the gravamen of the resolution. It seemed to me as if Senator MacDermot wanted the mountain to go into labour to produce a mouse—a new mouse. He was much distressed about the character of this House. Evidently, sensitive people, with high vocational qualifications, could not bring themselves to do the ordinary, vulgar things that have to be done to become members of this House. They could not be expected to go out in public and canvass or do anything like that. If I am a member of the electoral college, I can see, and so can Senator MacDermot, circulars on my table every morning from some of these vocational experts, these people who were so busy and so remote from the people, so removed from the ordinary vulgarities of life. Anyone who receives these circulars will note how these very remote people can speak of their own exceptional qualifications and hold forth on the benefit it would be to the nation to have them elected to this Seanad. If Senator MacDermot had read some of these circulars he might, perhaps, change his mind. I tell the Senator that these people are not at all so remote from the ordinary vulgarities of life as has been suggested. I know they are very valuable people, but there is no doubt that if there is any possibility of their getting here by any means then they will get here. But these are the men that the Senator had in mind when he was speaking of a vocational Seanad. That is really what it means, the mountain in labour and it produced a very trifling thing. Senator MacDermot's speech was very discursive. I think in that speech he dealt with all subjects. Indeed he omitted very few things. He did not touch on bimetallism nor on the breeds of poultry but he dealt with nearly every other subject one could think of. He touched on the Pope, and I was afraid for a time that he was going to take serious action with regard to His Holiness. However, in the end he was very nice to the Pope, and I am sure His Holiness will be very glad when he hears about it. We have been told that the Pope's Encyclicals have been very widely read, but that they had been misunderstood. Anyone who had not read these circulars and was not acquainted with what was in them would begin to think that they were such mysterious things that the ordinary man could not possibly understand them. Now the fact is that the Pope's Encyclicals were entirely inspired by concern for the people. They were written in such a way that even the common people could understand them —they were so immensely clear. In these Encyclicals the Pope said really necessary things, and he said them in a plain way. I have read them and I am familiar with them. There is nothing in them that an ordinary person could not understand. When the first Encyclical was published over 40 years ago it received as much attention that time as if it had been written by me. Then the world had not broken the skin of the Dead Sea fruit. The world had not known the Great War. The world had not understood how wretched the organisation of society was and what terrible possibilities for evil lay in society as it then existed. As I say at that time the world had not broken the skin of the Dead Sea fruit, and this great Encyclical was almost wholly ignored. It required a further Encyclical from the present Pope, Pius XI, to draw further attention to it. He suggested that the vocational organisation of society might be remedied. He drew attention to some of the dreadful things that were about us. If one turns from the fashion parades in Grafton Street or George's Street, examines the position in the slums and inquires into the life that obtains there, he will understand something about the Pope's Encyclicals. The conditions are bad in our slums but they are a thousand times worse and more infamous in countries that are very much richer than ours. In some of those very rich countries people are born into conditions that are certain to ensure that they will be maimed in mind, body and morals for the rest of their lives. Hundreds and thousands and even millions are born into such conditions as these all the time while we have been preaching Christianity. Senator MacDermot's concern seemed to be with getting ideal electors. I do not know where these ideal electors are to be got except down in the Kildare Street Club. But when we get these ideal electors the Labour Party will not exist any longer. That appears to me the big thing that he sees in this motion. The Labour Party and the Farmers' Party will disappear. I think that in itself would be a disaster. No matter what vocational conditions obtain human nature will not change. There will always be greed and avarice in the world. Once we had the Guild system. The Guilds became vicious, so that greed and avarice and other abuses grew up in them, and they needed correction. It may be just the same with this vocational organism that we hope to see established in the future. I think it is absolutely necessary that society should organise itself on absolutely different lines from the present. Most of the people to-day are simply living under serf conditions or in slave conditions. The people who are depending on casual labour are in a slave condition. Let us consider the position of these people, and if we do we will find their position is really worse than that which existed under the old slave conditions. I remember it was a shock to us all when we read long ago that John Mitchel had taken the part of the Confederates in the American Civil War. In that Civil War John Mitchel was on the side of the South. He wanted to maintain the slavery system. Now, Mitchel was an enlightened man and a great lover of freedom, but he gave his reasons for the stand he took up on the American Civil War. He said:— “Here you have a mass of black labour which at present represents so much chattels to the men who own it. These new people in the North who discovered that slavery is such a dreadful thing want the slave owner to free his slaves in order that they are to be thrown into an already over-crowded labour market where the slave will have no value except that when he is worn out he will be replaced by another man.” John Mitchel's reasoning on that occasion was borne out subsequently by John Ruskin. In that matter John Mitchel showed himself a man of extraordinary vision. To-day you have in the world much worse conditions than the slave conditions of the American negroes. Now, in this State of ours we have a wholly undeveloped country. In anything that we have to decide to do in the future it would be well that we should remember that the normal development of Ireland had been obstructed for centuries. As G.K. Chesterton described it, the whole trouble was that we had no government here. It was not a case of having a bad Government or a good Government. What we suffered from was really the determination of another people to annihilate and wipe out our people. That was their policy for centuries and that policy had had its reactions. In a hundred years our population had been reduced by something like 50 per cent. We have counties like Meath that I represent with a population of half what it was 50 years ago. Now that country is wholly undeveloped. Every month one can read in one of the most useful publications published here in Ireland a series of articles showing the difference between the use we make of our land and the use that Belgium is making of its land. Belgium has something like 7,000,000 acres of land. It has over 1,000,000 holdings. We have 17,000,000 acres of land, that is 10,000,000 acres more than Belgium, and we have 230,000 holdings. We have one-quarter of the number of holdings and 10,000,000 acres more land. What is really happening in the country is that extremely little use is being made of our natural wealth. But we need not turn in an emergency way to vocationalism or anything else to remedy that. We have, I know, big leeway to make up. As I say we have prime land practically undeveloped. We are producing only one-quarter of the wheat which we require for our people. Yet we have something like 100,000 people unemployed and the people from the rural parts are crowding into the towns. We were told yesterday that the country workers are crowding into the towns. There is for that a very good reason and that is that the people who hold the land have no intention of employing labour on it. Their whole purpose seems to be something on the principle that obtained in the consolidation of farms, 80 or 100 years ago when village after village was wiped out and the land laid out in such a way that cattle could be turned on to it and need not be seen more than three times in the course of a year. That is the use that is being made of our land. The first thing I would ask the National Government to deal with is to see that the whole land of Ireland be put to the service of the people; that the people should be put back on it and should be given a chance of living a normal life in the country places. We have no normal life in the country places. Take the education of our young people. Most of the young people go to the elementary schools until they are 14 years of age. Just then when they are in a position to learn something, when they are just trained in the technique of learning they are taken away from the schools. From that until the very end of their careers there is not a soul to bother about them. That is true of 99 per cent. of them. There is a shameful wastage of the best of material. This sort of thing is, in a large measure, the cause of the wrongness of mind of so many of these people. These unfortunate people develop on entirely wrong and wretched lines. They have wretched sources for their development. There are so many injurious papers and then there is the wireless business that is utterly unhelpful to these people. They are abandoned at the age of 14 to become ignorant slaves and certainly not getting much of an opportunity to live virtuous lives. That is a problem on which this nation should concentrate. We have heard a lot about vocational education or technical education, Senator Tierney was alarmed for fear we should take his resolution as meaning technical education. Technical education was one of the things that were introduced into this country many years ago. Ninety per cent. of the people associated with it were shams. Such things as lace-making and sprigging were taught and things that were utterly wasteful. That was really of no service to the country and it touched only a very slight fraction of our people. It did not touch at all the people who leave our elementary schools at the age when they should be taken up by a Government and made into useful citizens. These young people were really abandoned; there is no doubt about that. I am interested in this proposal in one respect. We are said to be in need of a different Seanad from the one we have got. Now the one we have is an admirable one but I am sure it will be changed in a few weeks' time. What we really want are correctives to the present organisation of society under which a big number of our people are simply committed or condemned to lives of shame, misery and suffering. There is no doubt about that. That is the horror the Pope foresaw when he suggested that correctives be applied 40 years ago. If the world had listened to him then things might have been different. Instead he was treated with contempt. Then the full horror came along; the masses of the people revolted and we have these terrible scenes which we hear of nowadays, these terrible conditions that obtain in Spain and Russia, which were brought about by popular revolt but which the originators of the revolt never foresaw. They started out with the idea of securing freedom for the people who had been ground to the dust. These horrors may possibly be in store for us in Ireland if we ignore our trust and our duty. I certainly think that this subject should be examined in the fullest possible way, examined in every possible detail, to see if it is at all possible to spare our country from the horrors which other countries have suffered. We must remember that the masses of the people were ignored as dirt. There was absolutely no concern for them. In recent years some little concern has been shown. We have got down to the matter of the minimum wage for agricultural labourers but still we have people quarrelling about it. We have got down to the question of looking after widows and orphans and there are people quarrelling about that, describing it as an unspeakable burden. We have shown a little bit of humanity in our government but we have heaps of protests. Well, we have an example of the unspeakable horrors which have been brought about in other countries by the fact that the sufferings of the people were ignored. The fact that this reorganisation of society has been recommended by His Holiness should give us a lead, for His Holiness has centuries of wisdom, a tradition of wisdom, behind him in these matters, and his lightest word is worthy of consideration. I do not want to enter into the various considerations so singularly ably put forward by Professor Tierney but I think it will be generally agreed that we should have an exhaustive enquiry into the possibilities of the reorganisation of society along some other than the present system, under which the masses of the people are simply being exploited to the advantage of a few. Professor Johnston Professor Johnston Professor Johnston: I agree with the proposer of this resolution that the question of promoting vocational organisation in this country is quite separate from the question of the best method of constituting this Seanad. At the same time, I cannot help feeling that if the existing vocational bodies were given the right to elect, as well as the right to nominate to this House, nothing would contribute more effectively to the growth of vocational organisation in the country. I remember as an example of that, in connection with the recent elections to the Seanad, I heard for the first time of the existence of a body known as the Limerick Cottiers' Association. It was brought into existence not because it was given the right to elect, but because it was given the right to nominate to this body. I think on that analogy that when a smaller right than the right to elect, the right to nominate, produced such an effective result, the right to elect would produce even more effective results in inducing professional and other bodies to attempt vocational organisation. I think that a vocational body, if it had the right to elect, would be likely to use that right in a somewhat less partisan manner than is inevitable when the right to elect is given to an electoral college in which the elements of Party organisation are necessarily present. Mind you, I am not deprecating in any way the existence of Party organisation because I think Party action is a necessary adjunct to the machinery of democratic government. When you have a democratically-elected machine functioning you are bound to have Party organisation and a Party spirit and it is so necessary to the working of democratic government that I would not regard it as an evil. But everything reacts in accordance with its nature. There is an Irish proverb which says: “What can you expect from a pig but a grunt?” What can you expect from a democratic popular assembly, given the right to form an important part of the electoral college, but that when they come to elect Senators, they are bound to be influenced by Party considerations, and that they are not likely to choose precisely the same people as the vocational body itself would choose? I think most people outside of this House would agree that it is desirable that the element of Party spirit, which is necessarily strong in the other House, should be kept as far as possible out of this House. In a democratic assembly the various sections of the community there represented engage in a struggle in which the interests commanding a majority, generally speaking, get their own way. If it so be that the interests which triumph are also the interest of the nation as a whole, it is well, but it is quite conceivable that the interests which triumph in that democratic assembly may not be exactly coincident with the interests of the nation as a whole. It is, therefore, desirable that there should be a corrective to that spirit, and I think no better idea for correcting that partisan spirit has been arrived at than the idea of developing the vocational spirit which, as I say, is quite separate and distinct from the partisan spirit. The object of vocational representation is not that the people represented should further their special interests or should attempt to get away with anything which is in their sectional interest and is not in the interests of the nation as a whole. The object is that they should contribute their specialised knowledge to the deliberations of the Seanad; that they should seek, as far as possible, to enlighten public opinion and the Oireachtas as a whole, as regards the lines along which national interests must be pursued as against interests which are clearly partisan. I have nothing but admiration for the personal relationships which exist between us in this part of the House and you on the other sides of the House, but, at the same time, I cannot help wishing that the Party spirit was rather less evident. Occasionally it breaks out, although we may strive to restrain it. If the Party spirit were rather less evident, and the vocational spirit rather more evident, then the general tone of this assembly would be improved. Sir, I do not want to appear to be reading a lecture, but I do want to urge that we should consider the question of attempting vocational organisation, and, at the same time, not lose sight of the possibility of improving the general lines along which this House is at present constituted. Mr. Hughes Mr. Hughes Mr. Hughes: I am not inclined to oppose the setting up of this commission, but I must say that I am not of opinion that there is any practical solution for this great problem of vocational organisation. Senator Douglas, to my mind, got very near to the kernel of the situation when he said that it was not possible to get away from political questions in public life. References have been made to trade unions and to their place in vocational organisation. Trade unionism was founded for a certain purpose, and it did achieve a large amount of good. It has, as some people are inclined to put it, taken the workers up off their knees, but is it not strange to find that, as it developed and as time went on, quite a small number of people could use the organisation, formed for the purpose for which it was, for purely political purposes? I am saying that because I believe that it is absolutely true. Other organisations formed for other purposes will undoubtedly be used in the same way under present circumstances in this country, because we cannot at this stage get away from political matters. Perhaps, in some years to come, in ten or 20 years' time, we shall have reached a stage when a practical solution can be found. As I say, I am not opposing the setting up of a commission, but I believe that such a commission would find itself up against difficulties and snags, and that it will have to realise the difficulty of developing vocational organisations here to any great purpose. If, in this country, the people as a whole, had a similar attitude to national questions as the people in other countries, England, for example, if we had the whole people here giving unswerving loyalty to their own country, that loyalty which supersedes every other consideration, then I would say that it would be quite an easy matter to find a solution of this problem and to have vocational organisation in a real, practical way but I say that you have not the whole of our people giving that unswerving loyalty and devotion to their country which is necessary for that purpose. Senator Johnston mentioned that there was a possibility that vocational bodies might be less partisan. I should like to think that that were possible but I am afraid for the reason that I have stated that it is not possible. When we reach the stage where loyalty to the country will be the first consideration, then we will be nearer to the period when the people who are interested in this subject will realise their ambitions. I do not wish to oppose the motion. I should be glad to see this commission working although I have not very great hopes for success in that direction at the present time. Mrs. MacWhinney Mrs. MacWhinney Mrs. MacWhinney: This motion I feel is not happily worded. I think it would be more acceptable if it suggested that the Act as it now exists might be examined with the object of including amongst the nominating bodies vocational bodies which have not the right to nominate now. I am thinking of one or two vocational bodies that have been in existence for a very long time. For example, there is the nursing council which was established in 1919. It is a statutory body, and I think that it is, without exception, the best organised vocational body in Ireland to-day. Yet, for some reason it has not the right to nominate. It has a membership of 16,000. From the moment that a nurse starts her training to the day she leaves it, she is under the supervision of that vocational body. Her examinations, her registration and everything is looked after. We have a body like that with no right to nominate. Against that you have a veterinary vocational body with the right to nominate. It seems strange to me, at any rate, that the people who look after the animals of the country are regarded as being more important than the people who look after human beings. You have other bodies, in which I am interested that have not the right to nominate. You have the Amalgamated Society of Social Services. This society of women is representative of quite a big number of social service bodies. They have not the right to nominate. Against that you have the Mount Street Club which has the right to nominate. Listening to all the speeches that were made on this motion my only regret is that some of them were not broadcast so that we could have them discussed afterwards. If the speakers had written out their speeches and issued them in advance, I think I would have enjoyed them more than I did listening to them. If the commission which it is suggested should be appointed were given power to include in the scope of its inquiries the vocational bodies that should have the right to nominate, then I think we might get a Seanad more representative of the vocational bodies of the country than the one we have at the moment. Cathaoirleach: Senator MacDermot to conclude. Mr. MacDermot Mr. MacDermot Mr. MacDermot: I should like first to express my gratification that the Taoiseach is prepared to accept this motion and to consider the appointment of a commission. Senator Hayes inquired what kind of a commission was contemplated. As far as I am concerned, I have already said that I would like to see the commission a small one, and to see it very largely composed of enthusiasts for the vocational idea. As the Taoiseach said, nothing that such a commission suggests commits us in any way, but the people who have gone most deeply into the subject are the people, I think, on whom the burden should be in the main laid to suggest a practical application of their ideas. I think there are several distinguished men in this country, several of them clerics, such as Father Coyne, the well-known Jesuit, who have written on the matter with great ability and thought on it very deeply. I would put such men on the commission. I would appoint with them a good lawyer and a good practical business man, and a man or woman familiar with labour conditions and perhaps someone else who is more of a general politician. Thus you would have four men who are not experts on this particular subject who would address their minds to it from a practical point of view, and with them you would have perhaps six or seven men who have thought on it very deeply, who are enthusiasts about it and wish to see their ideas applied. This is going to give them the opportunity of putting their ideas into practice. Senator Condon has accused me of having rambled over too wide a field in the speech in which I introduced the motion. Looking back over it, I find that it is not a very long speech though it may have seemed so to the unhappy Senators listening to me. I occupied less than half an hour in speaking, and I personally cannot find one single irrelevant word in the speech. Of course, it may be considered that I devoted too large a proportion of it to the effect of this vocational idea on the Seanad. That is a matter on which we can afford to differ, but, as I have said, I cannot find anything irrelevant in it. I had to listen to Senator Condon discuss negro slavery in America, the blighting effect of British rule in this country, our present land system and the need for a drastic reform of it, and finally, the necessity for completely changing our educational system. Listening to him, I began to wonder what exactly is the standard of relevance that Senator Condon is in the habit of applying. The same Senator took me to task for having suggested that Papal Encyclicals receive a good deal more praise in this country than they do serious consideration, and for having ventured the opinion that rather more might have been done than has been done to give them practical effect. I am unable to see how anybody can seriously contest a word advanced on that subject. There has been immense praise for the ideas in these encyclicals, and abuse of other countries—France, England and Europe in general—for not having taken sufficient notice of them. I ask what notice have we taken of them here in Ireland except to praise them, and even to-day I find Senators, a good many of them, lukewarm about the mere proposition to set up a commission to examine the possibility of giving them any practical effect. Surely that is the very least we ought to do if we mean a word of our praise of Papal Encyclicals or of our condemnation of the world as a whole for not paying sufficient notice to them. Perhaps some Senators take the view that there is nothing in these matters that can be done by Government action; that these vocational bodies must grow up spontaneously from the soil or not come into being at all. I can see no reason for taking that view. I certainly do not think that the Government can force them on the country like a straight jacket, but I do think that the Government can do something perhaps by legislation, perhaps by administrative action, or perhaps by encouragement and propaganda. As I pointed out, in our original Constitution 16 years ago, we went to the trouble of putting in a provision saying that the Oireachtas may set up vocational councils representing branches of the social and economic life of the nation, and that possibly some powers of the Parliament might be delegated to such councils. Again, we went to the trouble in our present Constitution of repeating that almost verbatim. If there is any sense at all in putting such things into our Constitution surely it is time that we gave them some sort of sequel such as is now suggested by Senator Tierney and myself by setting up this commission to examine the subject. Surely there is nothing extravagent or visionary in such a proposal. It is not a proposal that should have been listened to with the scepticism, if not hostility, with which it apparently has been listened to by some Senators. As regards the bearing of this Motion on the question of the Seanad, I quite agree that the composition of the Seanad is, in a sense, a separate subject, and that the composition of the Seanad, if it needs to be dealt with by legislation, could be dealt with without any such Commission as this being set up; and possibly it may be so dealt with even during the course of this Commission's sitting. I venture to draw attention once again to Article 19 of our new Constitution, that Article that many Senators seem to overlook. It says:— Provision may be made by law for the direct election by any functional or vocational group or association or council of so many members of Seanad Eireann as may be fixed by such law in substitution for an equal number of the members to be elected from the corresponding panels of candidates constituted under Article 18 of this Constitution. Now, that is in our Constitution, and what is the sense of suggesting that it is some sort of a plot emanating from the Kildare Street Club, as I think Senator Condon indicated, to propose that something should be done about that? Some of the Fianna Fáil Senator do not seem to be familiar at all with the policy of their own Party. They do not seem to realise that the Minority Report of the Second Chamber Commission, which recommended the adoption of this idea, was accepted in principle by the Fianna Fail Government. I have no desire to do more than to contribute what I can to the making of the Fianna Fail policy a reality, and to bring it more perfectly into effect in these matters than it has yet been brought into effect. Obviously, if a Commission is set up to consider the question of extending the Vocational Organisations, that will have a bearing on the Article in the Constitution which says that in the future such Vocational Organisations may be given the right or direct representation. I said frankly enough that perhaps may principal interest in this motion was to lay a firm foundation for a vocational Seanad. I also agreed that it had wider aspects, and apparently I said more about those wider aspects than some Senators seem to like; but to those who are enthusiastic about those wider aspects, and who rather deprecate any talk of the bearing of this motion on the constitution of the Seanad, I would say that surely they ought to think it a great help for one to go even a little way on the right road with them and to show a desire to tread that road. There is room for difference of opinion as to how far it will turn out practicable here in democratic Ireland for Parliament to delegate powers of more or less legisative character to Vocational bodies. There is room for great difference of opinion about that, and I personally have an open mind about it. I do not know whether we can succeed in making this complete re-organisation of society that Senator Tierney, for instance, has in mind. But, whatever view we take about that, whether we are optimistic or pessimistic about it, at any rate it ought to be regarded as helpful to go a little way along the road and it will not take any very extraordinary or enormous development of the vocational idea to provide a firm foundation for a vocational Seanad. If we get as far as that, then we can consider going still further and giving larger powers to vocational bodies. As Senator Johnson said, the mere fact of giving direct representation to such bodies would certainly have a tendency to encourage them to come into being and would also, I think, have a tendency to get rid of some of the undesirable duplication that exists in certain departments of our life, because, as I said the other day, while there are branches of the national life where no vocational bodies exist, there are some others where too many exist and where the difficulty would be to reconcile their conflicting claims to send representatives here to the Seanad. I do not want to go into the question of how far the present system of electing the Seanad is satisfactory or not. I said a certain amount on it the other day but I would like to stress the point that I did not use the word “vulgarity” in connection with that as I think Senator Conway rather implied that I had. I did say that some men of the vocational type were not suited to electoral campaigns, and I do not think anybody can deny that that stands not only for electoral campaigns on public platforms but for electoral campaigns in the corridors of Leinster House. I do not think that the present Seanad Electoral Act is a good Act; I had not an opportunity of taking part in the discussions on it because I did not happen to be a member of the Legislature when it was under consideration; but I do not think it is a good Act and I think that there are dangers inherent in it which might become in the future very formidable. I think that anyone who reflects for a little bit on what could take place will say that it opens the door to corruption. It would be quite possible for unscrupulous men to get themselves elected by bribery when it is only a question, say, of needing to purchase half-a-dozen votes to enter the House. I am, however, far from saying that such a thing would be conceivable at the present moment, but I do think that we ought not to rest content with a system that makes corruption easy and that is one of the objections to the present system. I will say no more about the Seanad. I submit that the ideas which are referred to in this motion are of such fundamental and world-wide importance that we have been guilty of neglect of duty in not having done more about them. The excuse can be offered that we have been occupied with other matters very vital to this country, and that one has not got time to think of everything and do everything; but now that some of the burning topics have been put out of the way, and that, pacé Senator Hughes, we are, throughout the country united in our loyalty to the State, I feel that the time has come when we ought to turn our hands to seeing what can be done to carry out these ideas or put them, at any rate, to the test.

Legendary western hero Kit Carson and his dependable side-kick, El Toro, ride from one dangerous situation to the next, always fighting for truth and justice. Bill Williams, who had a long film and TV career in westerns, crime dramas and science fiction, plays the upright scout Carson with rugged believability. The role of Kit's girl-crazy Mexican pal is humorously handled by Don Diamond, who later played Cpl. Reyes in the "Zorro" series (1957-1959) and Crazy Cat in "F Troop" (1965) before lending his voice to a series of animated cartoon characters. "The Adventures of Kit Carson" is an early rough-riding treasure from the golden age of TV westerns that brought iconic shows like "The Lone Ranger," "The Cisco Kid," "Roy Rogers" and "Wild Bill Hickok" to small screens across America. Wild Horses of Pala: Kit is carrying $30,000 from the Army to pay an Indian tribe for a thousand horses, but a scheming agent plans to steal the money. Bandits' Blade: When stolen U.S currency plates are quickly recovered, traces of printer's ink on the plates reveal an unusual counterfeiting plot. Snake River Trappers: Food supply wagons bound for an Indian reservation are hijacked by fur trappers trying to drive the tribe off of their land. Ghost Town: To prevent interference with their gold shipment robberies, outlaws kidnap a Cavalry captain's wife. First airing on American television in the early 1950s, western series THE ADVENTURES OF KIT CARSON followed the thrilling adventures of Kit Carson and his Mexican partner El Toro in their pursuit of justice and women. Bill Williams plays Kit Carson, while Don Diamond plays his goofy pal. During its run, the series fell into the same category as other TV westerns such as "Roy Rogers," "The Cisco Kid," and "The Lone Ranger." This Volume contains four episodes from the show: "Wild Horses of Pala," "Bandit's Blade," "Snake River Trappers," and "Ghost Town." In these episodes, Carson and El Toro must defend innocent people against robbers, renegade fur trappers, outlaws, and kidnappers. Film Collectors & Archivists: Alpha Video is actively looking for rare and unusual pre-1943 motion pictures, in good condition, from Monogram, PRC, Tiffany, Chesterfield, and other independent studios for release on DVD. We are also interested in TV shows from the early 1950s. Share your passion for films with a large audience.

A safe place to play If you ask your child what he likes most about school, the answer you are likely to get is, “Recess!” It is important for kids to be active, get some fresh air, and release their pent up energy during and after the school day, and playgrounds are a great place to do so. However, faulty equipment, unsafe surfaces, and lack of appropriate supervision can result in injury. Each year, more than 200,000 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for playground-related injuries. Schools are addressing this by developing rules for safe outdoor play on and off the playground. There are also a few things that you should keep in mind and convey to any other caregivers of your child about play on and around the playground. Tips for injury-free outdoor fun - Know the school rules. Depending on the amount of outdoor space, the size of the student body, and staff limitations, your child’s school may limit the games students can play on the playground. Games like tag and unsupervised sports such as dodgeball are increasingly being banned due to injuries. Find out what your school’s playground rules are and explain them to your child. If your child wants to take a ball, jump rope, or other equipment to share with friends, be sure to check with the school first. - Find out about supervision. Adequate supervision is the best way to reduce the number of injuries on the playground. The National Program for Playground Safety advises that children be supervised when playing on playground structures, whether these are located in your home, in the community, or at school. Adults in charge should be able to direct children to use playground equipment properly and respond to emergencies appropriately. Make sure your child is supervised on the playground at all times, at and outside of school. - Know what is age appropriate. The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires that playground equipment be separated for 2-5 year-olds and 5-12 year-olds. It is recommended that children be further separated according to age group: Pre K, grades K-2, grades 3-4, and grades 5-6. Most schools separate outdoor play times by grades. If you take child to the playground, make sure he is playing on equipment that he is able to use comfortably. Encourage your child to use equipment appropriately and to take turns. Beware of clothing that could get caught or that your child could trip over, such as untied shoelaces, hoods, or drawstrings.. - Keep an eye on the equipment. Before you let your child play on playground structures, check the equipment and its surrounding area to make sure that it is safe. Check the structure to make sure it is not damaged or broken. Look out for any objects that can cause injuries, such as broken glass, rocks, animal feces, or other debris. According to the National Program for Playground Safety, the surface of a play structure should be of loose or soft materials that will cushion a fall, such as wood chips or rubber. Know how to respond. Even a fall of one foot can cause a broken bone or concussion. If your child is injured while playing on the playground, check him carefully for bruises. If you are not sure of the extent of your child’s injury, take him to the pediatrician or the emergency room. If you think your child may have a head or neck injury or if he appears to have a broken bone and you are afraid to move him, call for help.

Hampton Roads, Virginia, the megalopolis at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay surrounding Norfolk and its huge naval base, is a very "red" area in a very "red" state. Accordingly, our local papers are filled with letters from ardent Bush supporters, including many affiliated with, or retired from, some branch of the military, which is the dominant economic influence in our region. These letters are quite predictable in content; they generally consist of some combination of the following claims: Congressional and public opposition to the war in Iraq "emboldens our enemies," and is therefore tantamount to treason. We can't afford to "lose" in Iraq; therefore we must send more troops in order to "win." We are in a "global war on terror," a "clash of civilizations," and if we do not stop the terrorists "there," we will have to fight them "here." This last claim is inevitably accompanied by a dire reference to 9/11, when "they" attacked our country. In response to these claims, we first need to apply the first of the two questions my friend suggested: What do you mean by "enemies?" What do you mean by "win" and "lose"? And finally "Whom do you mean by "the terrorists"? Let's start with "enemies." If we define an "enemy" to mean some entity, national or otherwise, who has the power to threaten, invade, or take over the United States, then the short answer is that we have no enemies at all. Our military budget is ten times larger than the next largest, and our nuclear arsenal dwarfs that of any other nation. So it is folly to call anyone, much less scattered groups of mutually hostile insurgents in a nation we invaded and destroyed, an "enemy" of the United States in any real sense. But if you mean by "enemies," people who hate the United States and wish us ill, then we have billions of enemies throughout the world, and the number has swollen steadily since the Bush regime took power. In fact every time our soldiers kill another "enemy," whether combatant or noncombatant, we create many more--particularly in a Muslim culture like Iraq, where family loyalties are strong, and a pervasive code of honor mandates retribution for wrongs done. So the more "enemies" we kill, the more enemies we create throughout the Muslim world, for one strong characteristic of Islamic culture is that people tend to take very personally any wrong done to any member of the Umma, the worldwide Muslim community, by an "infidel" or non-Muslim. So continuing to kill people in Iraq and elsewhere will only cause the exponential expansion of "enemies" in the sense of people with a deep and festering resentment of the United States. Next, we need to interrogate what we mean by "win" and "lose." A war, and particularly a nasty civil war such as we have created now in Iraq, is not a soccer game. If "winning" means, as it traditionally did, military conquest of an adversary, than we "won" in Iraq within two weeks after the soldiers invaded, after the collapse of Saddam's regime. We may recall that Bush thought so too; that was about the time he posed for the infamous photo op in a flight suit on an aircraft carrier, with a banner behind reading "Mission Accomplished." Because to the degree we had any mission at all, it was accomplished. And why shouldn't it be? Our army was far superior to the Iraqi army, and the invasion was a cakewalk, by military standards. But what does it mean to "win" today? Bush supporters will respond, of course, that it means setting up a stable, functional, US-friendly democracy in Iraq, and suppressing or defeating all insurgents. Here also, we also "won," in that there were already (US-sponsored) "free elections" in Iraq. The problem is that the warring factions, Sunni and Shiite alike, refused to accept "democracy" on the terms dictated by the US. And since that time, the killing and turmoil in Iraq has spiraled completely out of control: Shiites hate and kill Sunnis, and vice versa, while all of them hate and kill "the infidel" who has invaded, occupied, and devastated their country. In this context, what does it mean for us to "win"? Nobody inside or outside the Bush regime has a clue. "Winning" and "Losing" is the wrong kind of language to use for this kind of bitter, internecine conflict, fueled by past repressions, resentment of the invaders, and ancient mutual hostilities. And the longer we stay, the worse it will get, no matter how many more troops we "surge" into the line of fire. An occupied, humilated people will never simply lay down their arms and cry "uncle" to an invading "infidel" power. Finally, we are told, ad infinitum and ad nauseam, that we are in a "Global War on Terror," that "they" seek to destroy the United States, and that if we don't fight "the terrorists" on the streets of Baghdad, we will have to fight "them" on the streets of New York, as we all discovered on 9/11. These claims beg a host of questions simultaneously: What exactly is a "war on terror"? Who are "the terrorists" and how could they destroy the United States? And then of course we have the biggest unasked question of all, "What really happened on 9/11?" Let's start with this frequently abused word "terrorist." In its normal (past) usage, there was a generally agreed-upon definition of this word: a person, usually part of a vindictive secret society, who was willing to risk or even lose his or her life in order to perpetrate acts of indiscriminate violence (most often bombing) against innocent people, in order to achieve a political objective, or simply in order to protest a perceived massive injustice against his or her people. By this definition, people like the Baeder-Meinhof Gang, the IRA, the murderers at the Munich Olympics, the perpetrators of the bomb under the Twin Towers in 1993 and against the USS Cole, Timothy McVeigh, and others obviously qualify. So would the box-cutter-wielding Al Qaeda fanatics who purportedly hijacked four planes and flew them into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, if we still believe the official story of 9/11 (even though none of their names appeared on the original passenger manifolds for the flights in question). But since the invasion of Iraq, the term "terrorist" has expanded indiscriminately to mean any insurgent, Iraqi or otherwise, who shoots back at US soldiers in combat. This is how it comes about that "they" caused 9/11, even though no Iraqi was involved. "The terrorists" have thus become a huge amorphous bogey-man, meaning that anyone who is of Arabic descent is at risk of being labeled a "terrorist," and anyone who strongly opposes the policies of the Bush regime, becomes, de facto, a "terrorist sympathizer." Our news media, following the Bush regime as usual, now routinely divides the population of Iraq into "the Iraqis" (i.e. those who support the US) and "the Terrorists" (those who don't). Hence the undefinable "War on Terror" (how can you declare war against a tactic?) becomes an all-purpose rationalization for the use of military power, anywhere or at any time, forever (since the "terrorists" will obviously never sue for surrender terms.) This, of course, leads to the default rationalization for all this nonthinking: "Look what THEY did to us on 9/11." Here we must kick in the second of my friend's two questions: "Why should I believe what you say?" Why, indeed, should we believe- That NORAD standard procedures, which were designed to intercept nuclear weapons, and which routinely intercepted errant aircraft within minutes, could not stop four airliners, in the course of an hour, from flying into three of the most important and well-protected buildings in the US? That two airliners crashing into steel-frame skyscrapers specifically designed to withstand such impacts would trigger, after an hour, the catastrophic, free-fall-rate collapse, without resistance, not of two, but of THREE skyscrapers, the latter of which (Building 7) was not hit at all. This sequence violates the First Law of Thermodynamics-that energy input must equal energy output. For there is no way that the combination of an airline crash, an open office fire turned mostly to smoke, and the force of gravity from the top fifth of a building, could possibly generate enough energy to pulverize these steel-frame buildings, without any resistance from the lower floors. A collateral form of energy, in the form of demolition charges, is absolutely essential to explain these collapses. That an hour later, an airliner could fly without interception into the ground floor of the Pentagon-the best defended building in the nation-squeeze through a hole far smaller than the span of its wings, penetrate three fortified layers with nothing but a hollow aluminum tube, and leave no trace of its own wreckage inside or on the lawn in front. In short, anyone who is not entirely credulous, looking into the facts of 9/11 without bias, will quickly conclude that the official story is a fraud, and that the entire catastrophe was set up in advance as an inside job, in order to galvanize the public into supporting an aggressive, invasive policy in the Middle East. Thus, rigorously applying these two questions, "What do you mean?" and "Why should I believe this" can be very effective tools in penetrating and discrediting the web of delusions with which the Bush regime has ensnared large portions of the US population.	<urn:uuid:48647512-19e0-4a16-a508-c9fc07c35fc5>	2013-05-21T10:28:24Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.00830078125, 0.01019287109375, -0.01385498046875, 0.01544189453125, 0.0849609375, -0.06689453125, -0.0255126953125, 0.11474609375, -0.0093994140625, -0.045166015625, 0.0849609375, 0.031494140625, -0.038818359375, 0.04345703125, 0.035400390625, 0.0...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.963496	2,065	http://www.opednews.com/populum/page.php/opedne_thomas_e_070207_two_useful_questions.htm?f=opedne_thomas_e_070207_two_useful_questions.htm	0.930245

Is your bad attitude giving off negative vibes? Michael says the law of attraction has one job: to check the vibration you're sending and match it. So how do you change your negative vibe into a positive one? "At any moment you find yourself attracting anything negative, you can press your internal vibe reset button," Michael says. "The way you reset your vibration is to change the thoughts and words you're using. Be more deliberate about the words and thoughts that you're using." Three words that will consistently cause you to attract negative things are don't, not and no, Michael says. When you say these words, ask yourself the reset correction question: "So what do I want?" When you go from what you don't want to what you do want, the words you use change, Michael says. For example, instead of "Don't forget," say "Remember." "And when the words change," Michael says, "so do the vibrations. It's your job to keep your vibration pure."	<urn:uuid:da2b5b55-0756-44d7-8d86-217921ce8c05>	2013-05-21T10:13:43Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.03425218164920807, 0.0038550763856619596, 0.012691047973930836, -0.013441594317555428, 0.06441047787666321, -0.08133187890052795, 0.019241265952587128, 0.06932314485311508, -0.03302401676774025, -0.032614629715681076, 0.0786026194691658, 0.0554039292037487, 0...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.948822	206	http://www.oprah.com/spirit/The-Law-of-Attraction-and-Negativity-II/print/1	0.915573
On the other hand, I disagree with many of his arguments, especially the ones he uses to defend Christianity. Could you describe some examples of this? It's the first time I've heard this criticism of Lewis, and I am interested in which arguments you find are his weakest. Granted, I haven't (yet) read the whole C.S. Lewis canon, so I may not have come across all of them yet...but I'm still curious as to your take on them, if you find him at his weakest when he defends Christianity. I love him, what I've read of him. At the end of the day, I think my favorite thing about him is how great a storyteller he is. This comes out in both the Narnia books as well as the theology books I've read thus far.	<urn:uuid:5854a820-d082-4d5b-bba6-34a5b60a3c23>	2013-05-21T10:01:24Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.04454787075519562, -0.006399601232260466, 0.013214760459959507, -0.0009142287308350205, 0.035904254764318466, -0.051529254764318466, -0.005173703655600548, 0.08244680613279343, -0.04787234216928482, -0.09773936122655869, -0.01579122431576252, 0.006773603614419699...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.983736	171	http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php?topic=8948.0	0.371058
Harry A. Blackmun Harry Blackmun was born in southern Illinois and raised in Minnesota. One of his earliest friends from his days in grade school was Warren Burger; they would later serve together on the nation's highest court. Blackmun attended Harvard College and graduated with a degree in mathematics. He completed his law degree at Harvard and then clerked for a federal appeals court judge in Minneapolis. He then entered private legal practice until President Dwight Eisenhower appointed Blackmun to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Blackmun was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Nixon following the Senate's rejection of two other Nixon nominees. Early on, Blackmun was frequently paired with conservative Chief Justice Warren Burger. Within a short time, however, Blackmun emerged as a sympathetic liberal. Perhaps his most famous (or infamous) opinion recognized a constitutional right to abortion. The result was a tirade of abuse on Blackmun personally and on the Court he served. In 1994, after nearly 24 years of service, Blackmun announced his decision to retire. His sentimentalism endeared him to liberals, though Blackmun insisted he did not change his views. At his retirement news conference, Blackmun reflected on his first day as a Justice. His rhetorical question posed on his first day of service -- "What am I doing here?" -- offers a puzzling clue to the core of his jurisprudence.	<urn:uuid:a7987d4d-3e93-4286-a541-b2fdf04d45fd>	2013-05-21T10:34:56Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.0373883917927742, 0.01897321455180645, -0.00637090764939785, -0.006556919775903225, 0.0388764888048172, 0.0067894347012043, -0.008510044775903225, 0.0762648805975914, -0.0377604179084301, -0.0222284235060215, 0.0284598208963871, 0.0528273805975914, -0.0082775...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.9828	282	http://www.oyez.org/justices/harry_a_blackmun?page=5&order=title&sort=asc	0.865782
Jake E. Lee Reunion I was reading Jake E. Lee's biography on www.jakelee.com when I read this, "For four years, Jake toured with Ozzy. They put out "Bark at the Moon", which eventually went multi-platinum, and quickly quieted critics who said Rhoads could never be replaced. The "Ultimate Sin" album followed, and was another grand success for Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy, however, was in the midst of his drug-and-alcohol days, and fired Jake in the middle of one of his rages. Contrary to common belief, however, Ozzy and Jake remain good friends to this day, and Ozzy has recently talked to Jake about a possible reunion, although Jake has repeatedly turned him down." Just like Zakk, I wish that Ozzy and Jake would work out there differences. Jake E. Lee is an amazing guitar player. And I'm not saying it's going to happen, but wouldn't it be cool to see the Jake era Ozzy one more time before Ozzy decides to finally retire?	<urn:uuid:7a08d061-5261-428d-9855-73577eeb62c6>	2013-05-21T10:29:21Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.023982558399438858, 0.013020833022892475, -0.002634447766467929, 0.01550387591123581, 0.05935077369213104, -0.013323643244802952, 0.005329457577317953, 0.03318798542022705, -0.029796510934829712, -0.07848837226629257, 0.04118217155337334, 0.013444767333567142, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.987721	227	http://www.ozzy.com/us/forum/jake-e-lee-reunion	0.191925
Support for Sustainable and Competitive Special Economic Zones and Reconstruction Opportunity Zones is designed to support the development and management of sustainable Special Economic Zones and Reconstruction Opportunity Zones. The Project focuses on strengthening Pakistani capability in both private and public sector to plan, design, regulate and manage viable Special Economic Zones in some of the most challenging environments in Pakistan. The Trade Project's efforts support maximum private sector involvement in the development of ROZs, while focusing the public sector on creating a business environment conducive to development and growth. At the same time, a two-phased development approach recognizes the challenges on the ground. Phase 1 is focusing on obtaining ROZ designation for existing factories and industrial estates under current laws to ramp up the ROZ program rapidly. Phase II will establish new legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks for ROZs that will form the basis of a broader program to attract new investment. In addition, the Trade Project provides technical assistance to SEZs, industrial estates and free zones in other locations in Pakistan, aiming to broaden the basis of support to facilitate investment by private sector developers and operators. Critical challenges the Trade Project is geared to address in pursuit of this component's objectives include:	<urn:uuid:1cab2199-36ad-4e12-b863-7367adc495a1>	2013-05-21T10:06:45Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.008060954511165619, 0.009386042132973671, 0.016894876956939697, 0.02175353281199932, 0.13515901565551758, -0.010324646718800068, 0.0035335689317435026, 0.06625441461801529, -0.007039531599730253, -0.013140459544956684, 0.0702296793460846, 0.02617049403488636, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.912857	243	http://www.pakistantrade.org/Economiczones.aspx	0.57171
Asthma and Exercise What is exercise-induced asthma? Most people diagnosed with asthma will experience asthma symptoms when exercising. In addition, some who are not diagnosed with asthma will experience asthma symptoms, but only during exercise. This is a condition called exercise-induced asthma. Long-distance running may aggravate exercise-induced asthma. Exercise-induced asthma is different from the typical asthma that is triggered by allergens and/or irritants. Some people have both types of asthma, while others only experience exercise-induced asthma. Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease that leads to three airway problems: obstruction, inflammation, and hyper-responsiveness. Unfortunately, the basic cause of asthma is still not known. How does exercise cause asthma symptoms? When breathing normally, the air that enters the airways is first warmed and moistened by the nasal passages to prevent injury to the delicate lining of the airways. However, for someone with asthma, the airways may be extremely sensitive to allergens, irritants, infection, weather, and/or exercise. When asthma symptoms begin, the airways' muscles constrict and narrow, the lining of the airways begins to swell, and mucus production may increase. When exercising (especially outside in cold weather), the increased breathing in and breathing out through the mouth may cause the airways to dry and cool, which may irritate them and cause the onset of asthma symptoms. In addition, when breathing through the mouth during exercise, a person will inhale more air-borne particles, including pollen, which can trigger asthma. What are the symptoms of exercise-induced asthma? Exercise-induced asthma is characterized by asthma symptoms, such as coughing, wheezing, and tightness in the chest within five to 20 minutes after starting to exercise. Exercised-induced asthma can also include symptoms such as unusual fatigue and feeling short-of-breath while exercising. However, exercise should not be avoided because of asthma. In fact, exercise is very beneficial to a person with asthma, improving their airway function by strengthening their breathing muscles. Consult your doctor for more information. How can exercise-induced asthma be controlled? Stretching and proper warm-up and cool-down exercises may relieve any chest tightness that occurs with exercising. In addition, breathing through the nose and not the mouth will help warm and humidify the air before it enters the airways, protecting the delicate lining of the airways. Other ways to help prevent an asthma attack due to exercise include the following: Your doctor may prescribe an inhaled asthma medication to use before exercise, which may also be used after exercise if symptoms occur. Avoid exercising in very low temperatures. If exercising during cold weather, wear a scarf over your mouth and nose, so that the air breathed in is warm and easier to inhale. Avoid exercising when pollen or air pollution levels are high (if allergy plays a role in the asthma). If inhaling air through the mouth, keep the mouth pursed (lips forming a small "O" close together), so that the air is less cold and dry when it enters the airways during exercise. Carry an inhaler, just in case of an asthma attack. Wear an allergy mask during pollen season. Avoid exercise when experiencing a viral infection. What sports are recommended for people with asthma? According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, the recommended sport for people with asthma is swimming, due to the warm, humid environment, the toning of the upper muscles, and the horizontal position (which may actually loosen mucus from the bottom of the lungs). Other recommended activities and sports include: Sports that may aggravate exercise-induced asthma symptoms include: However, with proper management and preparation, most people with asthma can participate in any sport.	<urn:uuid:8ae56ef0-e686-40bc-be33-23f48b727742>	2013-05-21T10:13:19Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.008544921875, -0.01031494140625, 0.01531982421875, -0.01446533203125, 0.1279296875, -0.0634765625, -0.00830078125, 0.134765625, -0.014404296875, 0.009033203125, 0.146484375, 0.033935546875, -0.051025390625, -0.009033203125, 0.058349609375, -0.00283...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.951047	798	http://www.palomarhealth.org/ContentPage.aspx?nd=18&parm1=P00016&parm2=85&doc=true	0.894273
What is endometriosis? Endometriosis (say "en-doh-mee-tree-OH-sus") is a problem many women have during their childbearing years. It means that a type of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing outside your uterus. This does not always cause symptoms. And it usually isn't dangerous. But it can cause pain and other problems. The clumps of tissue that grow outside your uterus are called implants. They usually grow on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the outer wall of the uterus, the intestines, or other organs in the belly. In rare cases they spread to areas beyond the belly. How does endometriosis cause problems? Your uterus is lined with a type of tissue called Reference endometrium Opens New Window (say "en-doh-MEE-tree-um"). Each month, your body releases hormones that cause the endometrium to thicken and get ready for an egg. If you get pregnant, the fertilized egg attaches to the endometrium and starts to grow. If you do not get pregnant, the endometrium breaks down, and your body sheds it as blood. This is your Reference menstrual period Opens New Window. When you have endometriosis, the implants of tissue outside your uterus act just like the tissue lining your uterus. During your menstrual cycle, they get thicker, then break down and bleed. But the implants are outside your uterus, so the blood cannot flow out of your body. The implants can get irritated and painful. Sometimes they form scar tissue or fluid-filled sacs (cysts). Scar tissue may make it hard to get pregnant. What causes endometriosis? Experts don't know what causes endometrial tissue to grow outside your uterus. But they do know that the female hormone Reference estrogen Opens New Window makes the problem worse. Women have high levels of estrogen during their childbearing years. It is during these years—usually from their teens into their 40s—that women have endometriosis. Estrogen levels drop when menstrual periods stop (menopause). Symptoms usually go away then. What are the symptoms? The most common symptoms are: - Pain. Where it hurts depends on where the implants are growing. You may have pain in your lower belly, your rectum or vagina, or your lower back. You may have pain only before and during your periods or all the time. Some women have more pain during sex, when they have a bowel movement, or when their ovaries release an egg (ovulation). - Abnormal bleeding. Some women have heavy periods, spotting or bleeding between periods, bleeding after sex, or blood in their urine or stool. - Trouble getting pregnant (Reference infertility Opens New Window). This is the only symptom some women have. Endometriosis varies from woman to woman. Some women don't know that they have it until they go to see a doctor because they can't get pregnant or have a procedure for another problem. Some have mild cramping that they think is normal for them. In other women, the pain and bleeding are so bad that they aren't able to work or go to school. How is endometriosis diagnosed? Many different problems can cause painful or heavy periods. To find out if you have endometriosis, your doctor will: - Ask questions about your symptoms, your periods, your past health, and your family history. Endometriosis sometimes runs in families. - Do a Reference pelvic exam Opens New Window. This may include checking both your Reference vagina Opens New Window and Reference rectum Opens New Window. If it seems like you have endometriosis, your doctor may suggest that you try medicine for a few months. If you get better using medicine, you probably have endometriosis. To find out if you have a cyst on an ovary, you might have an imaging test like an Reference ultrasound Opens New Window, an Reference MRI Opens New Window, or a Reference CT scan Opens New Window. These tests show pictures of what is inside your belly. The only way to be sure you have endometriosis is to have a type of surgery called Reference laparoscopy Opens New Window (say "lap-uh-ROSS-kuh-pee"). During this surgery, the doctor puts a thin, lighted tube through a small cut in your belly. This lets the doctor see what is inside your belly. If the doctor finds implants, scar tissue, or cysts, he or she can remove them during the same surgery. How is it treated? There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are good treatments. You may need to try several treatments to find what works best for you. With any treatment, there is a chance that your symptoms could come back. Treatment choices depend on whether you want to control pain or you want to get pregnant. For pain and bleeding, you can try medicines or surgery. If you want to get pregnant, you may need surgery to remove the implants. Treatments for endometriosis include: - Over-the-counter pain medicines like ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (such as Aleve). These medicines are called anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. They can reduce bleeding and pain. - Birth control pills. They are the best treatment to control pain and shrink implants. Most women can use them safely for years. But you cannot use them if you want to get pregnant. - Hormone therapy. This stops your periods and shrinks implants. But it can cause side effects, and pain may come back after treatment ends. Like birth control pills, hormone therapy will keep you from getting pregnant. - Laparoscopy to remove implants and scar tissue. This may reduce pain, and it may also help you get pregnant. As a last resort for severe pain, some women have their uterus and ovaries removed (Reference hysterectomy Opens New Window and oophorectomy). If you have your ovaries taken out, your estrogen level will drop and your symptoms will probably go away. But you may have symptoms of menopause, and you will not be able to get pregnant. If you are getting close to Reference menopause Opens New Window, you may want to try to manage your symptoms with medicines rather than surgery. Endometriosis usually stops causing problems when you stop having periods.

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the Reference pancreas Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window, an organ in your belly that makes the hormones Reference insulin Opens New Window and Reference glucagon Opens New Window. These two hormones control how your body uses the sugar found in the food you eat. Your pancreas also makes other hormones and Reference enzymes Opens New Window that help you break down food. Usually the digestive enzymes stay in one part of the pancreas. But if these enzymes leak into other parts of the pancreas, they can irritate it and cause pain and swelling. This may happen suddenly or over many years. Over time, it can damage and scar the pancreas. What causes pancreatitis? Most cases are caused by Reference gallstones Opens New Window or alcohol abuse. The disease can also be caused by an injury, an infection, or certain medicines. Long-term, or chronic, pancreatitis may occur after one attack. But it can also happen over many years. In Western countries, alcohol abuse causes most chronic cases. In some cases doctors don't know what caused the disease. What are the symptoms? The main symptom of pancreatitis is medium to severe pain in the upper belly. Pain may also spread to your back. Some people have other symptoms too, such as nausea, vomiting, a fever, and sweating. How is pancreatitis diagnosed? Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your symptoms and past health. You may also have blood tests to see if your levels of certain enzymes are higher than normal. This can mean that you have pancreatitis. Your doctor may also want you to have a complete blood count (CBC), a liver test, or a stool test. Other tests include an MRI, a CT scan, or an ultrasound of your belly (abdominal ultrasound) to look for gallstones. A test called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram, or ERCP, may help your doctor see if you have chronic pancreatitis. During this test, the doctor can also remove gallstones that are stuck in the Reference bile duct Opens New Window. How is it treated? Most attacks of pancreatitis need treatment in the hospital. Your doctor will give you pain medicine and fluids through a vein (Reference IV Opens New Window) until the pain and swelling go away. Fluids and air can build up in your stomach when there are problems with your pancreas. This buildup can cause severe vomiting. If buildup occurs, your doctor may place a tube through your nose and into your stomach to remove the extra fluids and air. This will help make the pancreas less active and swollen. Although most people get well after an attack of pancreatitis, problems can occur. Problems may include Reference cysts Opens New Window, infection, or death of tissue in the pancreas. You may need surgery to remove your gallbladder or a part of the pancreas that has been damaged. If your pancreas has been severely damaged, you may need to take insulin to help your body control blood sugar. You also may need to take pancreatic enzyme pills to help your body digest fat and protein. If you have chronic pancreatitis, you will need to follow a low-fat diet and stop drinking alcohol. You may also take medicine to manage your pain. Making changes like these may seem hard. But with planning, talking with your doctor, and getting support from family and friends, these changes are possible.

Image Number 13 for United States Patent #5805098. The method and system quickly and simultaneously generate multi-resolution and high-resolution imagery from projection data obtained, e.g., through synthetic aperture radar, magnetic resonance imaging, x-ray CAT scans, seismic imaging, sonar imaging, and acoustic imaging. The backprojector technique is modified by a quadtree decomposition of the image area. The sensor elements are grouped into subapertures, and an image is formed in each subaperture by backprojection. The subapertures are grouped into larger subapertures and an image is formed in each of the larger subapertures by backprojection. This operation is repeated until a single large subaperture is defined which covers the entire antenna array. In this way, common additions are factored, computed once and reused many times. A set of N projections can produce an N.times.N image through O(N.sup.2 log N) operations.	<urn:uuid:aa7c27c7-4535-4037-b23c-b93606a75716>	2013-05-21T10:35:41Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.03629032149910927, 0.0016774823889136314, -0.004189768340438604, -0.001771988463588059, 0.055443547666072845, 0.012222782708704472, 0.02910786308348179, 0.05972782149910927, -0.007938507944345474, 0.04032257944345474, 0.1391129046678543, 0.0006300403038039804, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.929716	206	http://www.patentgenius.com/image/5805098-13.html	0.681873
\|Naval History of Great Britain - Vol III \|\|Lord Nelson and M. Villeneuve British colonies (nearly the whole of which, according to a French writer, had drawn up the capitulations they meant to propose to M. Villeneuve, and counted out the sums of money they could afford to pay him for their ransom * ), the merchant-masters did, most probably, exaggerate the British force under Lord Nelson, in the hope to drive the French admiral back to Europe. If so, the plan produced its effect ; for, on the 9th or 10th all the troops which had been withdrawn from Martinique and Guadaloupe were precipitately embarked on board the Hortense, Didon, Hermione, and Thémis frigates, with orders to Captain La-Marre-la-Meillerie, of the Hortense the senior officer, to disembark them at the last-named island, and then to rejoin the fleet at the appointed rendezvous. That, in acting thus, the French admiral was but obeying his orders, is to be inferred from the fact, that Napoléon anticipated that M. Villeneuve would return straight to Europe on learning that he was pursued. " Je hâterai mon arrivée (à Boulogne) de quelques jours, parce que je pense que l'arrivée de Nelson " (whose force he in another place states at " dix seuls vaisseaux " ), " en Amérique pourrait pousser Villeneuve à partir pour le Ferrol. † The only act for which Napoléon blamed M, Villeneuve, was for not leaving at Martinique and Guadaloupe the troops which the fleet had carried out. In his anger, at the partial failure of his projects, the French emperor did certainly attribute this omission on the part of M. Villeneuve, to fright, " épouvante," at the rumour of his being pursued ; but, at a subsequent day, when the thoughts of invading England had long ceased to agitate his breast, Buonaparte frankly admitted that Villeneuve was a brave man. ‡ On the 26th of June, when, having executed their mission, they were returning to the fleet, the Didon, Hermione, Hortense, and Thémis fell in with the Sirène and her valuable charge ; and that but a short distance to windward of the spot whence the latter had made sail 17 days before. Coupling the time already lost with the time it would still take to get a fleet of dull-sailing merchantmen so far to windward as Guadaloupe, Captain La-Marre-la-Meillerie determined to bear up with them for Porto-Rico. On the following day, the 27th, when about 180 miles to north-east of Barbuda, the British 18-gun ship-sloops, Kingfisher, Captain Richard William Cribb, and Osprey, Captain Timothy Clinch, appeared in sight to windward, and were chased by the French frigates. In making sail to escape, the two sloops hoisted signals and fired guns, as if to a fleet ahead. This had the desired effect. The chasing ships immediately bore up ; and, in a very little time, the whole 15 merchant * Victoires et Conquêtes, tome xvi., p. 121. † Précis des Evènemens, tome xi., p. 282. ‡ See O'Meara's Napoléon in Exile, vol. i,, p. 57. ^ back to top ^	<urn:uuid:1981d3e1-922b-48ca-93e0-ec2635734820>	2013-05-21T10:00:47Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.009521484375, 0.021240234375, -0.02294921875, -0.001983642578125, 0.10498046875, -0.03369140625, -0.010498046875, 0.08203125, -0.010498046875, -0.0238037109375, 0.06396484375, 0.01507568359375, -0.0947265625, -0.030029296875, 0.042236328125, 0.0031...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.956154	781	http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/Naval_History/Vol_III/Vol_III_P_339.htm	0.715098
Uh, Greg. Have you attacked any player unit? I haven't had a problem with attacking allies yet, either. But looking down the road a bit, I can forsee a time when I'll be trying to protect a staked-out area of turf. Then this is going to be a problem. Also, you may not be cooperating with that many players. I am, and I have units in the vicinity of the IC, where there's a bewildering amount of activity. It's a problem, and I think there should be some game-level support for revealing your faction to your allies. >Yes, it's an inconsistancy, but there are many more annoying ones in Such as what?

I'm a little confused, can i use pclinuxos xfce without any problem , someone told me to use pclinuxos kde or lxde, i send to him a message to say why ? but did not answer me I appreciate if you make it clear for me I believe you were told that to avoid a very large number of updates, plus to avoid needing to reconfigure your sources list, you should start with the newer MiniMe or LXDE Mini ISO and add XFCE via its task package. Who did you send a message to? How did you send it? Forum PM? The point was (and is) not that there is anything wrong with the XFCE ISO, but that it is older now and will require a massive download of updated packages. Also, we have made changes to our repository since it was released, and it will be necessary to make a change to the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Using a newer ISO was suggested as a way to circumvent these.	<urn:uuid:ebf86c61-4b26-48ae-aa90-8fa0c6341782>	2013-05-21T10:09:39Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.05231277644634247, 0.018309472128748894, 0.03689427301287651, -0.014386013150215149, 0.04267621040344238, -0.031938325613737106, 0.0034588382113724947, 0.05451541766524315, -0.03427863493561745, -0.025330396369099617, 0.00239193276502192, 0.033039648085832596, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.960015	217	http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=110693.msg944730	0.459377
Hepatitis A is a virus that can infect the liver. In most cases, the infection goes away on its own and doesn't lead to long-term liver problems. In rare cases, it can be more serious. The hepatitis A virus is found in the stool of an infected person. It is spread when a person eats food or drinks water that has come in contact with infected stool. Sometimes a group of people who eat at the same restaurant can get hepatitis A. This can happen when an employee with hepatitis A doesn't wash his or her hands well after using the bathroom and then prepares food. It can also happen when a food item is contaminated by raw sewage or by an infected garden worker. The disease can also spread in day care centers. Children, especially those in diapers, may get stool on their hands and then touch objects that other children put into their mouths. And workers can spread the virus if they don't wash their hands well after changing a diaper. Some things can raise your risk of getting hepatitis A, such as eating raw oysters or undercooked clams. If you're traveling in a country where hepatitis A is common, you can lower your chances of getting the disease by avoiding uncooked foods and untreated tap water. You may also be at risk if you live with or have sex with someone who has hepatitis A. After you have been exposed to the virus, it can take from 2 to 7 weeks before you see any signs of it. Symptoms usually last for about 2 months but may last longer. Common symptoms are: All forms of hepatitis have similar symptoms. Only a blood test can tell if you have hepatitis A or another form of the disease. Call your doctor if you have reason to think that you have hepatitis A or have been exposed to it. (For example, did you recently eat in a restaurant where a server was found to have hepatitis A? Has there been an outbreak at your child's day care? Does someone in your house have hepatitis A?) Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and where you have eaten or traveled. You may have blood tests if your doctor thinks you have the virus. These tests can tell if your liver is inflamed and whether you have antibodies to the hepatitis A virus. These antibodies prove that you have been exposed to the virus. Hepatitis A goes away on its own in most cases. Most people get well within a few months. While you have hepatitis: If hepatitis A causes more serious illness, you may need to stay in the hospital to prevent problems while your liver heals. Be sure to take steps to avoid spreading the virus to others. You can only get the hepatitis A virus once. After that, your body builds up a defense against it.

Two million copies of this album were sold within a year of release, which is no surprise, given that it contained such hits as Patti LaBelle 's "New Attitude," and Glenn Frey 's "The Heat Is On," and Harold Faltermeyer 's "Axel F." Another notable aspect of the recording is the small-print admission "Contains additional songs that are not in the film." In other words, this is more of a compilation than a soundtrack album per se. It didn't bother anybody, though.	<urn:uuid:718c178f-556e-4f59-acd5-ff927ab56cb5>	2013-05-21T10:20:57Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.033935546875, 0.00347900390625, 0.0017852783203125, 0.0208740234375, 0.06689453125, 0.00141143798828125, 0.01104736328125, 0.0634765625, -0.05322265625, -0.09228515625, 0.05712890625, 0.013671875, -0.09765625, 0.009521484375, 0.0380859375, 0.00659...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.981217	110	http://www.peacesunfm.com/Music/Album.aspx?id=84195	0.825954
With a repertoire of more than five dozen tunes, Elgin, Illinois-based Dream Police celebrates the music of one of the most successful bands to come out of the Midwest, Cheap Trick. While many similar groups choose to focus on one aspect of Cheap Trick's music, Dream Police has built its reputation by exploring nearly three decades of material, including ballads, psychedelic rock and hook-laden pop in their shows. Their stock rose substantially after being joined on stage by Cheap Trick's Rick Neilsen and Bun E. Carlos. Formed in 1987, as Mo's Dream Police, Dream Police quickly made their presence felt on Chicago's rock circuit. They were voted "best tribute band", four consecutive years, by readers of local music magazine, Chicago Rock. With the departure of single-named lead singer, Mo, in 1995, Dream Police went through a lengthy period of reorganization. The band finally coalesced with founding guitarist, Scott "Rick Neilsen" J., possessor of more than forty-different guitars, including several reproductions of Neilsen's most famous instruments, being joined by vocalist Keith "Robin Zander" Jakresky, bassist Mario "Tom Petersson" Massi, drummer George "Bun E. Carlos" Baumann and keyboardist Robert Richardson. They performed their first shows, in nearly a year, in early 2003, releasing a single, "Taxman" b/w "Mr. Thief", shortly afterwards.	<urn:uuid:c33ae38a-e77a-41f5-9882-b7310e729ceb>	2013-05-21T10:07:27Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.01621376723051071, 0.009012681432068348, -0.016576087102293968, 0.020108696073293686, 0.046014491468667984, -0.023097826167941093, 0.00887681171298027, 0.04746376723051071, -0.06086956337094307, -0.05108695477247238, 0.03442028909921646, 0.0260869562625885, 0...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.968076	298	http://www.peacesunfm.com/Music/Artist.aspx?id=276075	0.500321
Will Other Hostages Adjust as Well as He? 'I Think So,' Says Richard Queen, 'They're Pros' What advice do you have for the families of the hostages? Don't treat the returnees like some sort of curiosity. I'm sure most of them will just want to pick up the pieces of their lives and put them back together. What was important to me was to be able to see friends and go to a bar and have a beer. It's important to return to familiar surroundings, to fit in and not stand out. Should they be treated like heroes? No. There are some that may want it. But others, I think, just want to return to their homes and families. But it was a catharsis for the country to celebrate their homecoming. What helped you most to adjust? I took a trip to Alaska, and that was fantastic. It was an escape from everything. When I first got home my mother really tried to smother me. I told her, "Leave me alone. I'm 28." Then I would feel a little guilty about getting angry, but we worked it out. I just try to tell other families, "Be careful you don't overwhelm them. And don't be upset if they want to go out and disappear to Alaska like I did, or go sit down at a bar with some friends." Will talking about what happened help the returnees? In the beginning I talked about it constantly. I would have kept talking all night if my debriefers hadn't stopped me. But the media should remember there are 52 different people. Those who want to talk will act as a screen for those who don't. We should try to respect the wishes of those who don't want to relive everything. How will the returning hostages deal with their anger to ward Iran? I don't know. I wanted to get a Khomeini dart board. But I'm renting an apartment and I don't think the owners would appreciate the marks in the wall if I missed. Do you think the hostages should try to make up for lost time? No. The best thing to do is not look at the time in captivity as destroyed months, but as an experience. Not that any person would want to repeat it, but it was an experience few people can say they've gone through. If you don't look at the positive side of things, you can really destroy yourself. How difficult do you think it will be for the returnees to go back to work? My problem wasn't so much re-adjusting to a schedule as it was that, as a bachelor, I had to go out and buy furniture, find an apartment, get clothes. I left Tehran with a toothbrush, a T-shirt and a pair of pants. I left seven good suits behind, and I can't believe how much more jeans cost now. The State Department is reimbursing me for everything, but the fact is I had to start from scratch. Have you had psychological problems? No. The State Department asked me if I would see a psychiatrist, so I said, "Fine," and I visit him every six weeks. He told me: "I'm only doing this because they asked me to. There's nothing wrong with you." Do you think the other hostages will adjust as easily as you have? I really don't know, but I think so. They're professionals. Did your experience in Iran change your outlook on life? In some ways. After three and a half months in a dungeon, I had to get a sunny apartment, because I wanted to see the sun in the morning. I like to hear the birds more, to hear people—even to hear traffic. That's special. I remember being in a room with the lights out a short time ago. There was a wind outside and the tree branches were moving in the light from the streetlights. I sat there for about a half hour, just watching. Has anything else struck you? I think this incident has united people all across the country. We've had all the racial problems and divisions, but this has shown that we are essentially Americans. It's given us more confidence and a new sense of identity. Are you proud to have been part of it all? I am. My feeling is that what I went through is more than worth it—the eight and a half months, the incurable illness, all of it.	<urn:uuid:9a54d3f2-55fc-4b44-b798-455a78d55b5a>	2013-05-21T10:14:02Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.01324462890625, 0.0024261474609375, 0.00494384765625, -0.007568359375, 0.09521484375, -0.0233154296875, 0.001129150390625, 0.0751953125, -0.021484375, -0.0390625, 0.08056640625, 0.0303955078125, -0.02978515625, -0.01513671875, 0.0478515625, 0.0008...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.988772	922	http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20078567,00.html	0.166071
Angelina Jolie: Brad Pitt's 'A Great, Loving Father' "I love being with Brad," the Kung Fu Panda 2 actress, 35, gushes to the U.K.'s Telegraph. "I'm very lucky with [him]. He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man's man." Jolie, who calls Pitt, 47, "extraordinary," says he is a "great, loving father," adding that he's "a very, very intelligent man." And when it comes to the couple's six children, Jolie says she and Pitt were determined to raise a large family only "if we could be really hands-on and take the kids with us, seeing them every day." "I'm always there on weekends," she says. "I only ever work a five-day week, and I am often there for breakfast or dinner. When I'm working, they come up at lunch. I love that I can have children." As much as she loves her kids, Jolie understands the importance of their spending alone time with Pitt. "It's special time for daddy when mom works for a few months," says the actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador. "And Brad is such a great dad. When I'm working, he's putting in the extra dad time, and that's special for their relationship, too."	<urn:uuid:100943cb-6db5-4436-8a8c-39c167552a3e>	2013-05-21T10:07:11Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.0015804893337190151, 0.03865131735801697, -0.001541940844617784, 0.010074012912809849, 0.05797697231173515, -0.03453947231173515, 0.016858553513884544, 0.05139802768826485, -0.03453947231173515, -0.10773026198148727, 0.05715460702776909, 0.03618421033024788, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.985078	284	http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20498921,00.html	0.449994
Peoria Tribe of Indians of OklahomaThe Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma is a confederation of Kaskaskia, Peoria, Piankeshaw and Wea Indians united into a single tribe in 1854. The tribes which constitute The Confederated Peorias, as they then were called, originated in the lands bordering the Great Lakes and drained by the mighty Mississippi. They are Illinois or Illini Indians, descendants of those who created the great mound civilizations in the central United States two thousand to three thousand years ago. Forced from their ancestral lands in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, the Peorias were relocated first in Missouri, then in Kansas and, finally, in northeastern Oklahoma. There, in Miami, Ottawa County, Oklahoma is their tribal headquarters. The Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma is a federally-recognized sovereign Indian tribe, functioning under the constitution and by-laws approved by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior on August 13, 1997. Under Article VIII, Section 1 of the Peoria Constitution, the Peoria Tribal Business Committee is empowered to research and pursue economic and business development opportunities for the Tribe. The increased pressure from white settlers in the 1840’s and 1850’s in Kansas brought cooperation among the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Piankashaw and Wea Tribes to protect these holdings. By the Treaty of May 30, 1854, 10 Stat. 1082, the United States recognized the cooperation and consented to their formal union as the Confederated Peoria. In addition to this recognition, the treaty also provided for the disposition of the lands of the constituent tribes set aside by the treaties of the 1830’s; ten sections were to be held in common by the new Confederation, each tribal member received an allotment of 160 acres; the remaining or “surplus” land was to be sold to settlers and the proceeds to be used by the tribes. The Civil War caused considerable turmoil among all the people of Kansas, especially the Indians. After the war, most members of the Confederation agreed to remove to the Indian Territory under the provisions of the so-called Omnibus Treaty of February 23, 1867, 15 Stat. 513. Some of the members elected at this time to remain in Kansas, separate from the Confederated Tribes, and become citizens of the United States. The lands of the Confederation members in the Indian Territory were subject to the provisions of the General Allotment Act of 1887. The allotment of all the tribal land was made by 1893, and by 1915, the tribe had no tribal lands or any lands in restricted status. Under the provisions of the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act of 1936, 49 Stat. 1967, the tribes adopted a constitution and by-laws, which was ratified on October 10, 1939, and they became known as the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma. As a result of the “Termination Policy” of the Federal Government in the 1950’s, the Federal Trust relationship over the affairs of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma and its members, except for claims then pending before the Indian Claims Commission and Court of claims, was ended on August 2, 1959, pursuant to the provisions of the Act of August 2, 1956, 709 Stat. 937, and Federal services were no longer provided to the individual members of the tribe. More recently, however, the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma was reinstated as a federally recognized tribe by the Act of May 15, 1978, 92 Stat. 246.	<urn:uuid:29264399-5a65-4210-b5f7-94445de0d2e9>	2013-05-21T10:21:40Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.00811767578125, 0.01220703125, -0.0263671875, 0.004119873046875, 0.0869140625, -0.0576171875, -0.018310546875, 0.08251953125, -0.037353515625, -0.0167236328125, 0.1025390625, 0.0255126953125, -0.01544189453125, 0.00286865234375, 0.024169921875, 0....	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.960678	734	http://www.peoriatribe.com/history.php	0.284747
If You Don't Float, You Have Our Vote Christian Voters from the Real America More Info at: In 1630, when Puritan John Winthrop stood on the deck of the Arbella and pointed with his gun at Boston Harbor to declare that here we would build a "City Upon a Hill," he announced his intention to create a new Godly society that, secure in its right to bear arms, would reflect its glory in the eyes of the world. Boston was built upon that hill, and there we laid the first stones of a new Christian Republic. Near those stones, on the Charles River, we also drowned witches. This was the Puritan practice of Trial by Drowning, whereby a woman was thrown in water, and if she floated, it proved her unholy union with the Prince of Lies. Recent evidence proves that the alleged Christian candidate, Ms. O'Donnell, "dabbled in" witchcraft. Like all witches, she sought to cover up these acts and, when found out, dismissed them as harmless. We demand that O'Donnell endure Trial by Drowning to establish where her loyalties truly lie. With Jesus Christ, liberty and the United States? Or with paganism, income redistribution and tyranny? If Ms. O'Donnell is sincere in her faith, she can have nothing to hide. She must meet this challenge. If her fidelity is proved, we will enthusiastically and unreservedly vote for her. If not, we will abstain this election season. Face your constituents, Ms. O'Donnell. If you don't float, you have our vote.	<urn:uuid:2d5fab93-8328-4c13-a45b-6bba0984aadf>	2013-05-21T10:35:40Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.02213541604578495, -0.0031534831505268812, 0.0061442055739462376, -0.0044759116135537624, 0.0807291641831398, -0.0445963554084301, -0.01806640625, 0.091796875, -0.01847330667078495, -0.017822265625, 0.0699869766831398, 0.0006459553842432797, -0.08138021081686...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.957994	333	http://www.petitiononline.com/Drown10/petition.html	0.301049
European Painting before 1900, Johnson Collection MermaidMade in Paris, France, Europe Edvard Munch, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944 Oil on canvas 2003-1-1Gift of Barbara B. and Theodore R. Aronson, 2003 LabelEdvard Munch painted Mermaid during an extended stay in Paris in 1896-97, upon receiving a commission for a large-scale decorative work from Axel Heiberg, a Norwegian industrialist. This striking image of a mermaid in the process of transforming into a woman reflects the artist's interest in Symbolism (an artistic and literary movement aimed at eliciting emotional responses from the viewer or reader) and in the themes of metamorphosis, desire, and anxiety. Munch devised the picture's unique trapezoidal format in response to Heiberg's intention to hang the mural just below the sloping rafters of a stair hall in his home in Lysaker, Norway.

Hasin Hayder has recently posted a tutorial to his blog showing how to use the Zend_Crypt_Rsa library for encrypting/decrytping data in a Zend Framework application. Public/private key based encryption is very popular because of the strength it sets in encryption, specially above 1024 bits. Now there are external library to encrypt data using RSA encryption like RSA in phpclasses.org - the fun is we were also using this library in one of our ZF based project. But last week I've found that there is a hidden gem in the Library/Zend/Crypt folder (Zend_Crypt_Rsa) which can do the same thing using openssl library. He couldn't find much in the way of documentation for the component, so he wrote up how to use it in three easy steps: - Create your RSA public/private key using ssh-keygen - Encrypt data using your public key - Decrypt the cipher The Zend_Crypt_Rsa makes it simple to encrypt/decrypt the data, just taking in a passphrase, a path to the RSA key file and the message contents.	<urn:uuid:03f990e8-6be7-4a06-9c11-d131d80d0722>	2013-05-21T10:20:37Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.047641508281230927, 0.021816037595272064, 0.03891509398818016, 0.0013487618416547775, 0.04103773459792137, -0.06132075563073158, 0.010849056765437126, 0.056603774428367615, -0.014445754699409008, 0.010436320677399635, 0.02570754662156105, 0.02429245226085186, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.936102	239	http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/16846	0.544308
Zend_Mail_Transport_File is useful in a development environment or for testing purposes. Instead of sending any real emails it simply dumps the email's body and headers to a file in the filesystem. Like the other transports, it may be configured using Zend_Application_Resource_Mail, or by passing an instance to the send() method of a The transport has two optional parameters that can be passed to the constructor or setOptions() method. The path option specifies the base path where new files are saved. If nothing is set, the transport uses the default system directory for temporary files. The second parameter, callback, defines what PHP callback should be used to generate a filename. As an example, assume we need to use the recipient's email plus some hash as the filename: return $transport->recipients . '_' . mt_rand() . '.tmp'; $mail = new Zend_Mail(); $mail->addTo('firstname.lastname@example.org', 'Some Recipient'); // build message... $tr = new Zend_Mail_Transport_File(array('callback' => 'recipientFilename')); The resulting file will be something like Include randomness in filename generation When generating filenames, you should inject some sort of randomness into the generation to ensure that the filenames are unique. This is especially important on servers where you may expect high load, as it will ensure that despite a number of requests coming in during the same second or millisecond, the filename will still be unique.	<urn:uuid:6b068eba-5394-4f3a-9688-b6310073b6ed>	2013-05-21T10:14:58Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.0265992172062397, 0.024640992283821106, 0.03280026093125343, -0.008444842882454395, 0.018603133037686348, -0.09203655272722244, 0.04373368248343468, 0.06168407201766968, -0.00807767640799284, -0.005997062660753727, 0.11096605658531189, 0.03165796399116516, -0...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.778581	338	http://www.phpriot.com/manual/zf/zend.mail.file-transport	0.6134
The National Restaurant Association Education Foundation ServSafe program now includes instructions for using ozone in food safety procedures for the processing of fruits and vegetables, a process now recommended in the FDA Food Code. Eco-Safe Systems USA Inc., a manufacturer of patent-pending water treatment and water reclamation systems, wants to draw attention to the change in the FDA Food Code and the ServSafe supplement. "Although the FDA has allowed the use of ozone on food since 2001, organizations such as the National Restaurant Association have not previously taken a position on its use," said Michael Elliot, president of Eco-Safe, in a news release. "However, the most recent FDA Food Code changes have recommended its acceptance, and the ServSafe materials produced by the National Restaurant Education Foundation will now specifically mention the use of sanitizing produce by washing in ozonated water." Elliot said the inclusion of the treatment is a tremendous step forward in educating food service management about the benefits of Eco-Safe Ozone Disinfection, and "will provide an enormous boost to our marketing efforts." Los Angeles-based Eco-Safe Systems' technologies produce ozonated water for food disinfection and water purification in a eco-friendly and organic manner. The company offers supermarkets and restaurants a cost effective way to safely extend the shelf life of meat, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables.	<urn:uuid:870451f0-5b5c-4385-b8a0-984c5fe6071c>	2013-05-21T10:14:05Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.039644014090299606, 0.03276699036359787, 0.002629449823871255, -0.0023766180966049433, 0.08656957745552063, -0.07119741290807724, 0.013956310227513313, 0.0813106819987297, -0.03944174572825432, -0.030339805409312248, 0.03458737954497337, 0.03337378799915314, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.926887	277	http://www.pizzamarketplace.com/article/114068/ServSafe-supplement-recommends-ozone-use-for-food-safety	0.235048

Louis Macneice (12 September 1907 – 3 September 1963 / Belfast) It's no go the merrygoround, it's no go the rickshaw, All we want is a limousine and a ticket for the peepshow. Their knickers are made of crepe-de-chine, their shoes are made of python, Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with head of bison. John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa, Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker, Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whiskey, Kept its bones for dumbbells to use when he was fifty. It's no go the Yogi-man, it's no go Blavatsky, All we want is a bank balance and a bit of skirt in a taxi. Annie MacDougall went to milk, caught her foot in the heather, Woke to hear a dance record playing of Old Vienna. It's no go your maidenheads, it's no go your culture, All we want is a Dunlop tire and the devil mend the puncture. The Laird o' Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober, Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over. Mrs. Carmichael had her fifth, looked at the job with repulsion, Said to the midwife "Take it away; I'm through with overproduction." It's no go the gossip column, it's no go the Ceilidh, All we want is a mother's help and a sugar-stick for the baby. Willie Murray cut his thumb, couldn't count the damage, Took the hide of an Ayrshire cow and used it for a bandage. His brother caught three hundred cran when the seas were lavish, Threw the bleeders back in the sea and went upon the parish. It's no go the Herring Board, it's no go the Bible, All we want is a packet of fags when our hands are idle. It's no go the picture palace, it's no go the stadium, It's no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums, It's no go the Government grants, it's no go the elections, Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension. It's no go my honey love, it's no go my poppet; Work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit. The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall forever, But if you break the bloody glass you won't hold up the weather.

Romney's taxes, in brief (Updated) The Romney campaign leaked out portions of his tax returns to selected news outlets tonight, and, via the WSJ, here are the highlights: GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney paid a 14% effective income tax rate in 2010 after making $3 million in tax-deductible charitable donations and drawing most of his income from investments, according to a summary of Mr. Romney's 2010 tax form provided by his campaign. Mr. Romney reported $21.7 million in income. He paid $3 million in federal taxes, slightly more than the $2.98 million he made in charitable donations. At least $1.5 million of his charitable donations went to the Mormon Church. Of Mr. Romney's 2010 income, he noted a capital gain of $12.6 million, taxable interest of $3.3 million, ordinary dividends of $4.9 million and smaller sums of gains and losses on business income, refunds and other income. His 2010 return also showed that he had a financial account in Switzerland that was closed in 2010 and that he generated income from overseas investments. He also reported financial accounts in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. The Swiss account will no doubt be something Democrats, and his rivals, pick at, as will, potentially, the charitable contributions. For 2010, his charitable giving appears to be about 13.7 percent of his income. It's been reported that he tithes about 10 percent of his income to the Mormon Church, although the $1.5 million figure is about 7 percent. He appears to have given 12 percent of his income for 2011. UPDATE: Reuters has a bit more here: The tax rates Romney reported paying could add fuel to a national debate over the fairness of the tax code, and coincides with broader concerns about income inequality symbolized by the Occupy Wall Street movement. Romney's campaign officials stressed that his tax rate is based mostly on income from investments that are held in a blind trust. Romney's holdings include an undisclosed amount in funds based in the Grand Cayman Islands and other overseas entities. Romney advisers stressed that the holdings in the Caymans -- along with those in a Swiss bank account that was closed in 2010 after an investment adviser decided it could be politically embarrassing to Romney -- were reported on tax returns and were not vehicles to avoid taxes.	<urn:uuid:534aab0e-5adc-4386-8e2f-92e823a6abd3>	2013-05-21T10:01:02Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.0004711151123046875, 0.056640625, -0.0228271484375, 0.0120849609375, 0.06640625, 0.003143310546875, -0.0014190673828125, 0.126953125, -0.037109375, -0.064453125, 0.10205078125, 0.01141357421875, -0.03857421875, -0.0196533203125, 0.046142578125, -0....	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.983862	478	http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/2012/01/romneys-taxes-in-brief-112014.html	0.180534
Kerry: 'Can a man actually run the State Department?' Secretary of State John Kerry has "big heels to fill" as he starts his new job, he said Monday, taking the reins of the State Department for his first full work day. After arriving in Foggy Bottom soon after 9 a.m., Kerry briefly addressed employees and asked, "Can a man actually run the State Department?" He succeeds not only Hillary Clinton but, before her, Condoleezza Rice. "Job well done, thank you Secretary Clinton, the nation is grateful," Kerry said, wearing a pale pink tie and navy blue suit. He also thanked President Obama, who "without any question has restored America's reputation and place in the world." After spending close to three decades on Capitol Hill overseeing the State Department's work from a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry cracked jokes as he assured the department's staff that he's aware of their work and their needs. Kerry spoke of growing up the son of a foreign service officer as he pledged to look out for their best interests and already has a great understanding of their needs. But he also acknowledged "there are things I need to learn, for sure." He held up his first diplomatic passport -- from age 11 -- but said he wouldn't be sharing the photo. But his brief remarks weren't all jokes, as paid tribute to the four Americans killed last year in Benghazi. "I will not let their patriotism and bravery be obscured by politics," Kerry said of the late Ambassador Chris Stevens and his three colleagues.	<urn:uuid:0ca66bee-f073-4a15-892b-141c5ec0fc12>	2013-05-21T10:37:06Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.016780821606516838, 0.04263698682188988, -0.002707619918510318, 0.011472602374851704, 0.0623287670314312, 0.013784246519207954, -0.0009952910477295518, 0.06986301392316818, -0.018321918323636055, -0.054794520139694214, 0.08150684833526611, 0.04520547762513161, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.981086	321	http://www.politico.com/politico44/2013/02/kerry-can-a-man-actually-run-the-state-department-156024.html?ml=bp	0.243337

excuse my newb ness on this but what make an amp the ideal way to hook up at least your front speakers? I have a yamaha V465 which I don't think has the pre outs required to use an amp, but it does produce 105W per channel and has all the surround decoding i need and a tuner. now if I did have the required preouts, would I be better off also getting $3-400 amp that produces 100w/channel, if that's the case why.. based on what I've see on here the answer would be yes, but i'm not sure why. or would I only need and amp if I want to push w/channel higher.. say 150 or 200? maybe i'm just confused thanks.	<urn:uuid:097722e1-20ec-4313-878d-9be6bc9a2cd2>	2013-05-21T10:14:43Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.06505847722291946, 0.025584794580936432, 0.014163011685013771, 0.0004397386801429093, 0.047514621168375015, -0.03636695817112923, -0.007584064267575741, 0.06871344894170761, -0.0555555559694767, -0.03326023370027542, 0.05080409348011017, 0.01663011685013771, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.975179	158	http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?89463-Question-about-Amps-in-general&p=1167926&viewfull=1	0.784389

The gearbox comes with plastic gears and small, low-voltage motors; if you are looking to build anything meant to work outdoors or in a rugged setting, you should be ready to replace the gearbox often or consider using a more robust, pre-assembled gearbox. - What are the specifications for the motors included in this gearbox kit? - The Tamiya gearbox kits come with motors made by Mabuchi; please see the Mabuchi motor datasheet in the “Resources” section of this gearbox page for motor specs (be sure to look at the correct model number in the datasheet as indicated in the “Resources” link). - What kind of speed and torque will I get from this gearbox? - You can extrapolate a theoretical torque and RPM of the gearbox based on the gear ratio you build, the motor voltage, and the motor speed and torque. In general, this gearbox is a toy, so if you need very precise specifications, you might consider a more industrial gearbox. - How will operating voltage affect motor lifetime? How bad is it to run these Tamiya motors at voltages exceeding the suggested 3 V maximum? - In general, the higher your voltage, the sooner your motors will die. Because these are toy motors, the manufacturer does not provide any official cycle-life specifications, but a customer of ours has conducted his own series of experiments that shed light on the relationship between operating voltage and motor lifetime.

Learning project management while helping the community Every year, Poly House renovates the home of a local family struggling with issues related to disabilities. The project gives students an opportunity to learn project planning and management, help those in need and gain exposure to the benefits of community service. This year, we hope to help three families in the San Luis Obispo Community. One of the families has a son in his 30's that is quadriplegic. His parents must transport him everywhere around the house and, as they age, it becomes increasingly difficult to care for their son. They will eventually want to convert their residence into an assisted living home to support others and be able to continue living with their son. The second family is a 20 year-old man, who has minimal use of his legs and left arm, and his mother. Now that the son is older, the mother is having a hard time taking care of him on her own. This team's goal is to add a track (and facilitate necessary renovations) that will allow him to have easier access to the restroom, living room, and kitchen without his mother's help. The third team of students is working with a family in Paso Robles that has two disabled sons. Once son is able to move around the house in his motorized wheelchair while the other son has no muscle function and relies on other people pushing him around in his wheelchair. This team plans to install a lift to transport one sone from his bed into his wheelchair and possibly around the house. In addition, they will attempt to make the house more wheelchair friendly by widening halls and doorways and installing hardwood floors. The class objective as a whole is to plan and facilitate the execution of the house improvements for all three families and build collaborative partnerships for the program's long-term success. It is ambitious - especially planning and implementing three separate projects - but we know that we can accomplish our goals with your help.	<urn:uuid:10d13af8-504b-46c0-9514-5a0b38245452>	2013-05-21T10:07:28Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.0026843897067010403, 0.00855302158743143, 0.004850414581596851, 0.02265995182096958, 0.1125592440366745, 0.004332049749791622, -0.004183945711702108, 0.08886256068944931, -0.0010876406449824572, -0.047985780984163284, 0.027843602001667023, 0.035545025020837784, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.982525	396	http://www.polyhouse.org/new/home/index.php	0.314044
In any large city just a handful of bars give the police far more trouble than all the rest put together. The same is true of many other types of establishments, such as schools, convenience stores, and parking lots. In each case, just a few produce far more crime, disorder, and calls for police assistance than the rest of the group combined. This phenomenon—called “risky facilities”—has important implications for many problem-oriented policing projects. In particular, it can help police focus their energies where they are needed most and can help in selecting appropriate preventive measures. This guide serves as an introduction to risky facilities and shows how the concept can aid problem-oriented policing efforts by providing answers to the following key questions. We open with a definition of facilities and provide some examples. We then discuss risky facilities and explain how this concept is related to other crime concentration theories. Facilities are places with specific public or private functions, such as stores, bars, restaurants, mobile home parks, bus stops, apartment buildings, public swimming pools, ATM locations, libraries, hospitals, schools, parking lots, railway stations, marinas, and shopping malls. Facilities vary greatly in the crimes they experience. Medical facilities, for example, are likely to have different types and levels of crime than do police booking facilities. In addition, there is likely to be a great variation within any broad category of facility. For example, although both are medical facilities, dental offices are likely to have different levels and types of crime than are emergency rooms. Because such distinctions are critical to the success of risky facility analyses, it is important to begin by carefully defining the type of facility that is to be examined; only then proceed to an examination of the type and frequency of crime that the particular type of facility experiences. One important principle of crime prevention holds that crime is highly concentrated among particular people, places, and things; as this principle suggests, focusing resources on these concentrations is likely to yield the greatest preventive benefits. This principle has spawned a number of related concepts that are routinely used by police in problem-solving projects, including: Risky facilities is another recently described theory of crime concentration that holds great promise for problem-oriented policing.1 The theory postulates that only a small proportion of any specific type of facility will account for the majority of crime and disorder problems experienced or produced by the group of facilities as a whole. As a rule of thumb, about 20 percent of the total group will account for 80 percent of the problems. This is known as the 80/20 rule: in theory, 20 percent of any particular group of things is responsible for 80 percent of outcomes involving those things.2 The 80/20 rule is not peculiar to crime and disorder; rather, it is almost a universal law. For example, a small portion of the earth’s surface holds the majority of life on the planet; a small proportion of earthquakes cause most earthquake damage; a small number of people hold most of the earth’s wealth; a small proportion of police officers produce the most arrests; and so forth. In practice, of course, the proportion is seldom exactly 80/20; however, it is always true that some small percentage of a group produces a large percentage of any particular result involving that group. Later in the guide we will show you how to determine whether the 80/20 rule holds true for any particular group of facilities. The 80/20 rule can be a useful initial assumption: when confronting a problem, start by assuming that most of the problem is created by a few individuals, places, or events. Although this first approximation is not always correct, it is probably correct more often than assuming that the problem is spread evenly across individuals, places, or events. Careful analysis can then test whether this starting assumption is correct. The first paper to discuss the concept of risky facilities identified nearly 40 studies of specific types of facilities that included data about variations in the risks of crime, disorder, or misconduct.3 These studies covered a wide range of facilities and many different types of crime and deviance, including robbery, theft, assault, and simple disorder. All the studies showed wide variations in risk in the facilities studied and in many there was clear evidence of high concentrations of risk consistent with the definition of risky facilities.† There follow a few examples. † Not every study provided clear evidence that a small proportion of the facilities accounted for a large proportion of the crime, disorder, or misconduct. Rather, some reported differences between facilities in crime numbers or rates; for example, Matthews, Pease & Pease (2001) [PDF] reported that “4 percent of banks had robbery rates four to six times that of other banks.” Although consistent with the concept of risky facilities, these figures do not satisfy a key component of the definition: they do not demonstrate that a small number of high-risk banks accounted for a large part of the robbery problem. However, this does not mean that risks for the facilities studied were not highly skewed. Rather, it only means that the data did not allow the distribution of risk to be examined. Although the studies in this list are just a few of those that have produced evidence of risky facilities, such results make it clear that this form of crime concentration is quite widespread. Low Cost Motel: The risk of crime varies a great deal among facilities of the same type. Photo Credit: John Eck When analysts plot the number of crimes at each facility under investigation, they almost always create a graph with a reclining-J shape. This can be seen in the example in Figure 1, based on the work of crime analysts in Chula Vista, California. In that study, all parks over two acres in Chula Vista were ranked from the most crime (on left) to the least. The heights of the bars show the number of crimes in each park. As can be seen, three parks had far more crime than any of the rest and most parks had very little crime. Risky facilities can show up as hot spots on a city’s crime map. Indeed, specific hospitals, schools, and train stations are often well-known examples. But simply treating these facilities as hot spots misses an important analytical opportunity: comparing the risky facilities with other like facilities. Such a comparison can reveal important differences between facilities that can account for the differences in risk, thereby providing important pointers to preventive action. In addition, risky facilities are sometimes treated as examples of repeat victimization. However, this can create confusion when it is not the facilities that are being victimized, but rather the people who are using them. Thus, a tavern that repeatedly requests police assistance in dealing with fights is not itself being repeatedly victimized, unless it routinely suffers damage in the course of these fights or if members of staff are regularly assaulted. Even those participating in the fights may not be repeat victims, as different patrons might be involved each time. Indeed, no one need be victimized at all, as would be the case if the calls were about drugs, prostitution, or stolen property sales. Calling the tavern a repeat victim can be more than just confusing, however, because it might also divert attention from the role mismanagement or poor design plays in causing the fights. By keeping the concepts of repeat victimization and risky facilities separate, it may be possible to determine whether or not repeat victimization is the cause of a risky facility and thereby to design responses accordingly. The concept of risky facilities can be helpful in two types of policing projects. First, the concept can be useful in crime prevention projects that focus on a particular class of facilities, such as low rent apartment complexes or downtown parking lots. In the scanning stage, the objective is to list the facilities involved along with the corresponding number of problem incidents in order to see which facilities experience the most and which the fewest problems. This might immediately suggest some contributing factors. For example, a study of car break-ins and thefts in downtown parking facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina revealed that the number of offenses in each parking lot was not merely a function of size.14 Rather, it was discovered that some smaller facilities experienced a large numbers of thefts because of some fairly obvious security deficiencies. This finding was explored in more depth in the analysis stage by computing theft rates for each facility based on its number of parking spaces. The analysis found that the risk of theft was far greater in surface lots than in parking garages, a fact that had not been known previously. Subsequent analysis compared security features between the multilevel and surface lots and then within the members of each category in an effort to determine which aspects of security (e.g., attendants, lighting, security guards) explained the variation. This analysis guided the selection of measures that were to have been introduced at the response stage; and had these been implemented as planned (which was not the case), the assessment stage would have examined, not merely whether theft rates declined overall, but whether those at the previously riskiest facilities had declined most. Obviously, this type of analysis can be conducted within any group of facilities. Second, risky facilities analysis can be helpful to crime prevention efforts that focus on a particular troublesome facility. In this sort of analysis, the scanning stage consists of comparing the problems at a particular facility with those at similar nearby facilities. For example, in a project that won the Herman Goldstein Award for Excellence in Problem-oriented Policing in 2003, 15 police in Oakland, California discovered that a particular motel experienced nearly 10 times as many criminal incidents as did any other comparable motel in the area. Although in this case the analysis convinced Oakland police to address the problems at the motel in question, in other cases analysis might reveal that some other facilities have far greater problems than the one which was the initial focus of the project. Comparing the facility being addressed in the project with other group members can also be useful in the analysis, response, and assessment stages described above. Police reports and calls for service data are the most common sources of information about crime and disorder events. However, using these data can lead to errors if care is not taken to check for some of the following potential problems.† † Many of these data problems are also encountered when studying hot spots and repeat victimization. For further information see Deborah Weisel (2005), Analyzing Repeat Victimization, Problem Solving Tools Series No. 4. Incident reporting forms and police records can be revised to improve geographical information gathering; moreover, the increased use of geocoding for crime reports will gradually help resolve some of these difficulties. A study in England in 1964 found that absconding rates for residents in 17 training schools for delinquent boys ranged from 10 percent to 75 percent. To determine whether this variation was random, researchers reexamined the absconding rates two years later (1966) to see if the variation was much the same. They found that by and large the variation was consistent between the two years. For example, School 1 had the lowest absconding rate and School 17 the highest rate in both years (see the table below). In fact, the correlation was 0.65 between the two years.† Because the variation was relatively stable and because very few boys would have been residents in both years, researchers determined that the variation was probably due to differences in management practices rather than to differences in the student populations. † Correlation coefficients can be calculated quite simply from an Excel spreadsheet. \|Training School\|\|Absconding Rate\| Adapted from: Clarke and Martin (1975). Once a satisfactory measure of the problematic events for a defined group of facilities has been obtained, the following six-step procedure can be used to determine whether the 80/20 rule applies. † Reproduced with permission from Clarke and Eck (2003) In order to analyze crime concentrations, it is first necessary to define the type of facility to be examined; only then is it possible to create a list of facilities that meets that the definition. Ideally, all places that fit the definition and that are in the area of study will be on the list once and only once. In addition, facilities that do not fit the definition will not be on the list. The further the list departs from this ideal, the more likely it is that the results will be misleading. Identifying all facilities of a particular type in any given area can be troublesome: not only can it sometimes be difficult to develop an appropriate working definition of the type of facility at issue, but problems can also arise in regard to the data management practices of relevant public and private agencies. Here is an example of creating a list of facilities that illustrates these points. A research team at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio wanted to determine why a few bars had numerous violent incidents, whereas most of the others had none or only a very few. To do this, they needed a definition of “bar” and a list of facilities that met this definition. Researchers defined “bar” as a place that met four conditions: (1) it had to be open to the general public, rather than restricted to members or rented out to private parties; (2) it had to serve alcohol for onsite consumption; (3) some patrons had to come to the place for the primary purpose of consuming alcohol; and (4) there had to be a designated physical area within the place that served as a drinking area. Locations that did not meet all four conditions were excluded from the study. To obtain a list of locations meeting this definition, researchers began by consulting records from the Ohio Division of Liquor Control. These records showed that 633 places within the city limits were licensed to serve hard liquor. Based upon their personal knowledge, researchers were able to exclude a number of locations from consideration, reducing the list to 391 possible bars. To isolate the real bars, researchers then compared the remaining locations to the most recent bar guide in a local weekly tabloid that catered to young adults, which contained both a brief written description of the locations and numerous commercial advertisements. The tabloid information revealed that at least 198 of the 391 places fit the definition used. The tabloid list was incomplete, however, as there were an unknown number of city bars that were not reviewed by the tabloid staff. A check of the online Yellow pages verified several more bars. Private fraternal organizations were eliminated from consideration because they were not open to the general public. For most of the remaining places, researchers phoned or visited the sites, examining the physical locations and interviewing owners and employees. Onsite visits revealed several restaurants had areas that looked like bars, but these were eventually eliminated from consideration when it became clear from interviews that they were more decorative than functional or that they were used for other purposes (e.g., to hold carryout orders for customer pickup or to provide overflow seating where customers could eat). Ultimately, researchers identified 264 facilities that fit the definition of bar. These then became the subjects of the study.

The most important sources of variation in risk follow. Table 2: Reported Shopliftings by Store, Danvers, Mass.

For example, a study of downtown parking lot thefts in Charlotte, North Carolina was impeded when the city was unable to provide data about the number of spaces in each lot.16 As a result, police officers had to visit each lot and count the spaces by hand. † See Clarke, Ronald (1999) [PDF] .

A Sign Outside a Bar – How managers regulate patron conduct can have a big influence on crime risk. Credit: John Eck In every large city, a few low-cost rental apartment buildings make extraordinary demands on police time. These “risky facilities” are often owned by slumlords — unscrupulous landlords who purchase properties in poor neighborhoods and who make a minimum investment in management and maintenance. Building services deteriorate, respectable tenants move out, and their place is taken by less respectable ones — drug dealers, pimps, and prostitutes — who can afford to pay the rent but who cannot pass the background checks made by more responsible managements. In the course of a problem-oriented policing project in Santa Barbara, California, Officers Kim Frylsie and Mike Apsland analyzed arrests made at 14 rental apartment buildings owned by a slumlord, before and after he had purchased them. The table clearly shows a large increase in the number of people arrested at the properties in the years after he acquired them. There was also some evidence that the increased crime and disorder in these properties spilled over to infect other nearby apartment buildings — a finding that supports the widespread belief that slumlords contribute to neighborhood blight. \|Property\|\|Year Aquired\|\|No. of Units\|\|Average Pre-Owning\|\|Yearly Arrests Post-Owning\| Source: Clarke, Ronald and Gisela Bichler-Robertson (1998). “Place Managers, Slumlords and Crime in Low Rent Apartment Buildings”.

There is no single reason that explains why some facilities have far more crime than other facilities of the same type. Rather, the full explanation usually involves a combination of the seven factors discussed above; remember though, that the relative contribution of each will vary from case to case. In many problem-oriented projects it might not be possible to explain completely the variations in risk between facilities, because such analysis is usually only possible after detailed research that can take weeks or months to complete. However, it is usually possible to get some idea of how each of the seven factors contributes to the problem by comparing high and low crime facilities. We previously explained how to do this when we discussed the various ways of testing the influence of location, hot products, repeat victimization and crime attractors. In some cases, quantitative data such as facility size will be readily available. In others, it might be necessary to survey the facilities to discover the relevant information. For example, in the project mentioned above that focused on thefts from cars in Charlotte’s downtown parking facilities, police surveyed the lots to gather information about hours of operation, attendants, fencing, lighting, and other security measures. This provided many ideas for reducing crime in the riskiest facilities. In another Charlotte study, a police survey found that the theft of household appliances from construction sites was much lower when builders delayed installation until the homes were ready for occupancy. 19 Direct observation and discussions with managers and police familiar with the facilities (see Box 4) can yield valuable insights into the reasons for variations in risk between facilities. In addition, interviews with apprehended offenders can reveal how they evaluate the difficulties, rewards, and risks of preying upon the facilities in the sample.† Similarly, interviews with victims—particularly repeat victims—can be revealing. † See Scott Decker, Using Offender Interviews to Inform Police Problem Solving, Problem Solving Tools Series No. 3 (Washington, D.C.: Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, 2005). In Newark, New Jersey, a project funded by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (the COPS Office) focused on drug dealing in low cost private rental apartment complexes. 20 During the scanning stage, 22 possible sites for intervention (out of a total of 506 private apartment complexes) were identified through an analysis of police data and interviews with officers in the Newark Police Department’s Safer Cities Task Force and Special Investigations Unit. Subsequent interviews with district commanders revealed a special problem with four apartment complexes located close to entry and exit ramps for Interstate 78, which provided out-of-town buyers with easy access to drug markets. The buyers could briefly enter the city, purchase drugs at the complexes, drive around in a loop and quickly exit again. Authorities implemented a traffic management plan that disrupted the loop by creating one-way streets and dead-ends. The traffic plan was reinforced with additional enforcement at the four sites and will eventually dovetail with a long-term project by the state to rebuild the ramps to route traffic away from residential areas. Your ability to understand the reasons for the variations in risk will be greatly assisted where there is an existing Problem-Oriented Policing Guide that deals with the facilities that are the focus of your own project. Although it will not tell you which factors are important in your sample, it will provide more specific suggestions than are provided by the general discussion above. As of June, 2006, ten guides focused on problems within specific types of facilities.† † New guides are constantly being added; a list of those in preparation is available at www.popcenter.org. Although there are many ways to reduce risk (see Table 3), it is important to focus on those that are most likely to succeed. For example, it is usually impossible to do anything about the size and location of specific facilities. Similarly, changing a facility’s physical design can be difficult or costly and would only be justified in an extreme case. On the other hand, it may be easier to change business practices that facilitate or encourage crime and disorder; this, however, cannot be done without the full cooperation of those who own or manage the facilities, as they are usually the ones who must implement and pay for the measures. Before moving on to a discussion of the various ways of convincing facility managers to make the changes necessary to reduce crime or disorder, it is important to understand some of the reasons why they might not have done these things on their own. The reasons can include the following. Although it always best to assume that managers and owners want to reduce crime and disorder in their facilities and that they will be open to working with the police and others to implement the necessary changes, the list above suggests that they will sometimes resist implementing remedial measures. Consequently, it will sometimes be necessary to exert a certain amount of coercion, either directly or indirectly. There are several ways that this can be done. † † See Clarke, Ronald (1999) [PDF] .

Because business owners can be politically powerful, it may be far easier to reduce crime if management is induced to cooperate without engaging in a political battle. In this regard, it is important to recall the guiding principle of this guide, the 80-20 rule: most of the problem is likely to be the result of a few facilities. So it might be that enlisting the support of the majority of facility owners and managers—whose contributions to the problem are minor—to change the behavior of the few—whose contributions to the problem are major—can aid police in winning the political struggle. This can also reduce costs by focusing resources where they are needed most, which can aid in tailoring responses to particular settings, thereby increasing the chances that interventions will be effective.

After his first full season in international GT racing, Nick Tandy (28) from Great Britain can celebrate winning the Porsche Cup as the best private driver in the world. On the occasion of the Night of Champions on 8 December in the R+D Centre at Weissach, Nick Tandy received the Porsche Cup from Dr. Wolfgang Porsche, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Porsche AG. Additionally, Tandy was awarded a new Porsche 911 Carrera S. During the past season the Briton scored a total of 7,510 points. Second-placed Raymond Narac is the recipient of 30,000 Euro, Paolo Ruberti’s third place comes with a purse of 25,000 Euro. The Porsche Cup is endowed with a total value of 253,000 Euro. In the competition initiated by Ferry Porsche, drivers earned points in 18 Grand Touring and prototype race series worldwide as well as at selected long distance races. Professional race driver and part-time farmer Nick Tandy headed into 2012 as the reigning champion of the Carrera Cup Deutschland driving a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR run by the experienced Manthey Racing team in the International GT Open. Sharing the cockpit with works driver Marco Holzer, Tandy won five races. In the ADAC GT Masters, Tandy competed for the Geyer und Weinig EDV – Schütz Motorsport squad at the wheel of a 911 GT3 R. Here, Tandy and his teammate Christian Engelhart scored four victories. For the Brit, the season concluded with seventh place in the drivers’ classification. Tandy earned further points towards the Porsche Cup competing for Flying Lizard Motorsports and TRG in the ALMS. In the British GT Championship, he manned the cockpit of a Team Motorbase fielded 911 GT3 R at selected rounds. After John Fitzpatrick (1972, 1974, 1980) and Tim Sugden (2005), Nick Tandy is the third Briton to be honoured with the Porsche Cup, which has been awarded by Porsche since 1970. With a margin of just 170 points, Frenchman Raymond Narac (45) finished the race for the Porsche Cup in second place. The founder and owner of the successful IMSA Performance Matmut team contested three major championships as team principal and driver. In the European Le Mans Series, Narac defended the championship title in the GTE Am class driving a 911 GT3 RSR in last year’s spec. Joining forces with Porsche works driver Patrick Pilet, Narac periodically held the lead in the International GT Open driver’s standings and concluded the season in the hotly-contested championship in sixth. In the World Endurance Championship, Narac scored a class win and second place in Le Mans. After securing second in last year’s Porsche Cup, Paolo Ruberti again climbs the “podium” in third. The 37-year-old Italian secured this success predominantly in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Driving Felbermayr-Proton’s Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, Ruberti won the GT Am class at the Sebring 12 Hours and the 6 hour race in Bahrain. Ruberti secured additional points thanks to a victory and a second place in the Italian GT Championship.	<urn:uuid:0adfea29-7e36-4393-b926-05765e05d34d>	2013-05-21T10:01:00Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.0311279296875, 0.009521484375, -0.0096435546875, 0.0130615234375, 0.056640625, 0.0164794921875, -0.025634765625, 0.09814453125, 0.01123046875, -0.04248046875, -0.0186767578125, -0.0030059814453125, -0.03271484375, -0.01019287109375, 0.02685546875, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.94007	662	http://www.porsche.com/france/sportsandevents/motorsport/news/?pool=motorsport&id=b14251d9-445d-4fbf-999f-8795ae748251&lang=en&activetab=1	0.205847
2. Metro 2040 Growth Concept The Metro 2040 Growth Concept sets a regional framework for how growth will be concentrated, based on goals for making efficient use of land, protecting natural areas and farm land, and promoting a multi-modal transportation system. In Portland, the 2040 Growth Concept calls for concentrating residential and commercial development in and around mixed-use areas that include the Central City, the Gateway Regional Center, six town centers (Hollywood, St. Johns, Lents, Hillsdale, West Portland and Raleigh Hills), main streets, corridors and in light rail station communities. Metro’s 2040 Growth Concept, approved in 1995, sets a framework for the region’s development pattern. It provides guidance that includes an emphasis on identifying where growth should be concentrated, based on goals for making efficient use of land, protecting natural areas and farm land, and promoting a multi-modal transportation system. The Growth Concept is complimentary to and reflects the land use designations adopted in the city’s 1980 Comprehensive Plan. It designates the best places for more intense concentrations of housing and businesses and where to protect industrial and employment lands that are the backbone of the regional economy and provide high paying jobs. The Region 2040 Plan anticipates that focusing development in key design type areas will be complimented with services and excellent transportation linkages. At the same time, this concentration of development allows major change to be directed away from traditional single family neighborhoods. The Metro 2040 Growth Concept assumed that some expansions of the urban growth boundary would be needed to accommodate new growth. But rather than growing out, the plan gave new emphasis to "growing up," that is, focusing growth in the central city (downtown Portland, Lloyd District, South Waterfront, the Pearl and other nearby areas), in seven designated regional centers, in 27 identified "town centers," in scores of light rail station communities and along the roads and arterials ("main streets" and "corridors") served by frequent bus service. These urban design types are the "building blocks" of the regional strategy for managing growth. This hierarchy of places allows us to focus public investments, create livable places, protect existing neighborhoods and contributes to the region’s compact urban form. Capacity for additional housing and jobs is evident in many of these designated areas. Note that Portland has: - The only Central City designation – downtown Portland is the hub of business and cultural activity in the region - 1 of the 8 Regional Town Centers – Gateway is the focus of transit and highway improvements and serves a large market area - 5 town centers (Hollywood, St. Johns, Lents, West Portland and Hillsdale – also a portion of the Raleigh Hills town center) that provide localized services to a 2-3 mile radius; have a strong sense of community identity and are well-served by transit - 57 miles of Main Streets (ex. Sandy Blvd., NE 82nd Avenue, Cully Blvd., MLK Blvd.) that have a traditional commercial identity and feature good access to transit - 100 miles of Corridors (ex. Interstate Avenue, SE Powell Blvd.) that are key transportation routes for goods and people - Over 75% of the Regionally Significant Industrial Land Areas and more than 50% of the region’s Employment Land supply Progress on the 2040 Growth Concept: - Portland has captured more than a third of the region’s new housing starts, averaging 36% of the new residential growth. - Nearly 100 mixed use, transit oriented developments have been built over the last 10 years. - New housing developments in the Pearl and River Districts and South Waterfront are providing more housing than expected while using less land. - “Main Streets” like Belmont and Hawthorne have seen new mixed use developments with ground floor retail with 2-3 stories of residential above. Challenges to realizing the 2040 Growth Concept: - Lack of funding to address incomplete or missing pedestrian infrastructure limits pedestrian access to and through some centers, such as Gateway, Hillsdale and West Portland Park - Lack of civic amenities, such as public gathering places, parks and community centers - Not all centers and main streets have experienced much development	<urn:uuid:44eb82d1-1eec-4b72-9cc8-151a0b95386a>	2013-05-21T10:37:09Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.0103759765625, 0.006744384765625, 0.00189971923828125, 0.024658203125, 0.11669921875, -0.037353515625, 0.00933837890625, 0.12060546875, -0.0021514892578125, -0.04638671875, 0.0712890625, 0.0279541015625, -0.06396484375, 0.052490234375, 0.060791015625, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.929234	862	http://www.portlandonline.com/portlandplan/index.cfm?c=52250	0.204666
Carjacking suspect guilty, faces life term Share with others: On a quiet June morning last year, two night shift nurses from New Kensington who didn't know each other stopped off at the local Kmart after work to buy Father's Day cards and gifts. Within seconds, all hell broke loose. As Virginia Daly, 51, climbed into her Jeep Cherokee, a man who had been milling around the parking lot accosted her with a gun and threatened to shoot her if she didn't give him her keys. The other nurse, Mary Ulizio, 45, was getting into her Ford Explorer a few feet away and immediately took action. She quickly backed up and swung her vehicle behind the Cherokee, blocking in the carjacker. She unlocked her doors so Daly could get in and escape, but instead, Daly ran into the Kmart for help. As the man threw the Cherokee into reverse, Ulizio pulled out of his way but quickly jotted down the license number on her forearm. A short time later, the man sped across the Tarentum Bridge and crashed the Cherokee into a utility pole in Tarentum, flipping the vehicle over several times. He bailed out and ran before police caught him. Yesterday a federal jury convicted Craig William Brownlee, 32, of Harrison, on one count of carjacking and two counts of carrying an illegal gun. Federal prosecutors couldn't positively link the pistol found at the crash scene to Brownlee, but four witnesses, including Daly and Ulizio, identified Brownlee as the carjacker. Brownlee's federal public defender, Crystina Kowalczyk, argued that the witnesses had the wrong man. Contacted yesterday, Ulizio said Brownlee walked within a few feet of her before the carjacking and she knows it was him. "I absolutely, positively identified him," she said. "There were no doubts in my mind. When I walked into court and I looked at him, I knew right away. I'm really happy with the way things turned out." Because he has three prior felony convictions, Brownlee was prosecuted as a career criminal and could receive life in prison. The incident began at 8:30 a.m. on June 13. Ulizio said in court that she saw Brownlee walking near Daly's Cherokee and a Ford Mustang parked next to it while patting his pocket. She was suspicious. Kowalczyk suggested she felt uneasy because Brownlee is black, but Ulizio denied race played any role. "He crossed right in front of me," she said. "The first thing I thought -- I know the defense tried to make it a black-white issue -- was [that] this was a young guy, why isn't he home in bed like all the other kids? I got a sick feeling. This wasn't right." When Brownlee accosted Daly and threatened to shoot her, Ulizio said she didn't really have time to think. "She started screaming," she said. "I didn't know what to do other than the fact that I was near my car so I got in and I swung in to block his path. I started laying on my horn to attract attention." When she saw Brownlee start to pull out after Daly had fled, she continued backing up and let him go. She wrote the Cherokee's license number down, thinking that Daly might be too shaken up to remember it. A short time later, Scott M. Thompson of Brackenridge, who was on his way to work, was sitting at a traffic light when he saw the Cherokee speed over the bridge and smash into a pole. Thompson, now serving in the Air Force in Texas, said he watched the driver climb out of the wreck, run down Sixth Avenue, fall, get up and keep running. He later identified the man as Brownlee. U.S. District Judge Arthur J. Schwab did not set a sentencing date.

(NEW YORK) -- New York Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte is proving that age is just as number as he prepares for his 18th season in Major League Baseball. The 40-year-old Pettitte returned to the team last season after retiring following the 2010 season. He made 12 starts and went 5-4 with a 2.87 ERA. Based of his performance last year, Pettitte doesn't think he'll be retiring again in the near future. "I'm loving being back," Pettitte said. "I'm excited about the season and this organization and trying to help us win another championship. If I stay healthy, I feel like I can pitch for a long time. It doesn't mean I want to, but I feel like I could." If Pettitte can stay healthy, he'd be a huge boost to a Yankees team already dealing with injuries. He will open the season as the team's number 3 starter behind C.C. Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda. Not only has Pettitte been a valuable member of the Yankees in the regular season, it is the postseason where he has come up the biggest for the team. He has made 44 postseason starts in his career, and has gone 19-11 in those starts.

Results 1 to 5 of 5 Thread: Weight Gain Problems 1st April 2012 08:16 PM #1 - Join Date - Feb 2012 Weight Gain Problems My sister just had her prenatal check-up a week ago. She is on her 5th month and her doctor was wondering on why she was not gaining weight. She was 69 kilograms a month before the visit and now she weighs 65kilograms. Her doctor prescribed vitamins and advised her to consume milk everyday since the first trimester. Why is it that she is not gaining weight? She even lost weight. Considering the fact that she is on her second trimester of pregnancy. 2nd April 2012 01:31 AM #2 Stress can play a large part in weight loss. If your sister is anxious about the pregnancy, or having a new baby, or if there are relationship problems between her and the baby's father, or her and her parents, or problems at work - all of these things can contribute to a lack of desire to eat or eating the wrong foods. Sometimes weight loss can be due to other things. If your sister was very large to begin with, then she could lose weight if she's actually been trying to eat better during pregnancy. If this is the same person who was craving tuna, that could be another indication that there's an imbalance within her system and this could cause weight loss as well. I'm glad the doctor prescribed vitamins to be sure she's getting enough nutrients for the baby. If she normally tends to be underweight, eating a higher amount of healthy fats can help. Nuts are good, and if she's going to drink milk every day, she will want to be sure she's drinking full fat milk (not low-fat or non-fat) and preferably organic. Eggs are also good to eat during pregnancy as they offer high quality protein with some good fat from the egg yolk. 30th April 2012 01:54 PM #3 - Join Date - Feb 2012 I think her job is a great factor of stress. She works at night and comes home early in the morning. She sleeps for only 6 hours and eats irregularly. 1st May 2012 04:58 AM #4 That could do it. It's super important that she try to take a nap during the day or sleep more at night, and it's super important that she try to eat throughout the day. She will be putting herself and her baby at risk if she doesn't. The healthier she is during her pregnancy the better chance of having an easier delivery and a healthy baby. 1st May 2012 10:25 PM #5 I agree with Kate's advice: stress and not eating a balanced diet are particularly important in pregnancy. Your sister may find these articles useful: What to Eat in Pregnancy. Now I am pregnant again (and breastfeeding my toddler) I am making a bigger effort to follow this healthy eating advice. I know it isn't easy when we are busy sometimes but i think it is worth it. I was also wondering if your sister had/ does suffer from morning sickness.

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 By Greg Miller / The Washington Post WASHINGTON – CIA Director David Petraeus resigned Friday and admitted to having an extramarital affair, bringing a shocking end to his brief tenure at the spy agency and highly decorated national security career. CIA Director David Petraeus told President Obama on Thursday that he intended to resign. 2012 Reuters File Photo The affair came to light as part of an FBI investigation into a potential security breach involving Petraeus' emails, according to federal law enforcement officials and a former senior intelligence official. The investigation uncovered emails describing an affair between Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, a former military officer and co-author of a glowing biography of Petraeus, according to two law enforcement officials who were briefed on the investigation. Petraeus, a retired four-star Army general who once was seen as a potential presidential candidate, met with President Obama on Thursday and said he intended to step down because of the affair, Obama administration officials said. The president accepted his resignation Friday. "After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair," Petraeus said in a statement distributed to the CIA work force Friday. "Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the president graciously accepted my resignation," he said. A senior administration official said the White House learned only Wednesday that Petraeus had a potentially serious problem. The official said that Petraeus telephoned Thomas Donilon, the national security adviser, early Thursday and asked to meet with Obama. The investigation is not expected to result in any accusations of criminal wrongdoing by Petraeus or Broadwell, according to the two law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition that their names be withheld because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The sudden departure of Petraeus created turmoil in the administration's national security team just days after the president's re-election. That team was expected to see a series of changes in the coming months, but many believed that Petraeus would remain in position. In a statement, Obama said Petraeus has "provided extraordinary service to the United States for decades," adding that "through his lifetime of service David Petraeus has made our country safer and stronger." The statement did not directly address Petraeus's reason for resigning, but the president said that his "thoughts and prayers are with Dave and Holly Petraeus, who has done so much to help military families through her own work. I wish them the very best at this difficult time." Holly Petraeus is an assistant director of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where she is charged with advocating on behalf of service members and their families. She and her husband met in 1973 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where her father was superintendent. Broadwell, who also is married, is a West Point graduate and a research associate at Harvard University. She is the co-author of "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus." (The book's co-author was Vernon Loeb, local editor at The Washington Post.) In earlier interviews, Broadwell described meeting Petraeus in 2006 at Harvard, where she was working on a dissertation about leadership. She said they soon started emailing and discussing her research. In the preface to the book, Broadwell said that after Obama picked Petraeus to lead U.S.forces in Afghanistan in June 2010, he invited her to Kabul and she decided to turn her dissertation into a biography. She made repeated trips to Afghanistan to spend time observing Petraeus. In describing Petraeus in a CBS News interview two months ago, she said: "He, at the end of the day, is human and is challenged by the burdens of command. ... So, he has this mask of command –you think he's really confident -- but I got to see a more personal side. He's confident, but he's also very compassionate about the loss of troops and sacrifices we're making in Afghanistan." Petraeus was due to testify next week on Capitol Hill in hearings on the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador and two CIA security officers, in Libya in September. U.S. officials insisted that the controversy surrounding the attack – and the administration's shifting accounts of it – played no role in Petraeus's decision to resign. His 14-month tenure as CIA director is one of the shortest in agency history.	<urn:uuid:0e577090-8a83-470d-b0d0-87440dfc18cf>	2013-05-21T10:00:19Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.017578125, 0.047607421875, -0.007049560546875, 0.010986328125, 0.1025390625, -0.04345703125, -0.007659912109375, 0.11328125, -0.0205078125, -0.025634765625, 0.0869140625, 0.052978515625, -0.03271484375, -0.0123291015625, 0.0419921875, -0.033935546...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.977276	904	http://www.pressherald.com/news/nationworld/petraeus-steps-down-at-cia-admits-affair_2012-11-10.html	0.1876
Q. What's wrong with hot dogs? A. Nitrite additives in hotdogs form carcinogens. Petition to ban Three different studies have come out in the past year, finding that the consumption of hot dogs can be a risk factor for childhood cancer. Peters et al. studied the relationship between the intake of certain foods and the risk of leukemia in children from birth to age 10 in Los Angeles County 1980 and 1987. The study found that children eating more than 12 hot dogs per month have nine times the normal risk of developing childhood leukemia. A strong risk for childhood leukemia also existed for those children whose fathers' intake of hot dogs was 12 or more per month. Researchers Sarusua and Savitz studied childhood cancer cases in Denver and found that children born to mothers who consumed hot dogs one or more times during pregnancy has approximately double the risk of developing brain tumors. Children who ate hot dogs one or more times per week were also at higher risk of brain cancer. Bunin et al, also found that maternal consumption of hot dogs during pregnancy was associated with an excess risk of childhood Q. How could hot dogs cause cancer? A. Hot dogs contain nitrites which are used as preservatives, primarily to combat botulism. During the cooking process, nitrites combine with amines naturally present in meat to form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds. that nitrites can combine with amines in the human stomach to form N-nitroso compounds. These compounds are known carcinogens and have been associated with cancer of the oral cavity, urinary bladder, esophagus, stomach and Q. Some vegetables contain nitrites, do they cause cancer too? A. It is true that nitrites are commonly found in many green vegetables, especially spinach, celery and green lettuce. However, the consumption of vegetables appears to be effective in reducing the risk of cancer. How is this possible? The explanation lies in the formation of N-nitroso compounds from nitrites and amines. Nitrite containing vegetables also have Vitamin C and D, which serve to inhibit the formation of N-nitroso compounds. Consequently, vegetables are quite and serve to reduce your cancer risk. Q. Do other food products contain nitrites? A. Yes, all cured meats contain nitrites. These include bacon and fish. Q. Are all hot dogs a risk for childhood cancer? A. No. Not all hot dogs on the market contain nitrites. Because of modern refrigeration methods, nitrites are now used more for the red color they produce (which is associated with freshness) than for preservation. Nitrite-free hot dogs, while they taste the same as nitrite hot dogs, have a brownish color that has limited their popularity among consumers. When cooked, nitrite-free hot dogs are perfectly safe and healthy. HERE ARE FOUR THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO: - Do not buy hot dogs containing nitrite. It is especially important that children and potential parents do not consume 12 or more of these - Request that your supermarket have nitrite-free hot - Contact your local school board and find out whether children are being served nitrite hot dogs in the cafeteria, - Write the FDA and express your concern that nitrite-hot dogs are not labeled for their cancer risk to children.

In 2011 there was one reported homicide as a result of a car accident, and 2012 had five homicides, all the result of gunshot wounds. On July 27, Kevin Cleeves, 35, allegedly confronted his ex-wife over custody agreements of their daughter and shot the woman to death and killed her boyfriend and his mother. Brandi Nicole (Killingsworth) Cleeves, 25, Vincent Luke Santucci, 29, and Rosemary Linda Holma, 55, were pronounced dead at the scene in Quincy Township. On Sept. 18, Steffawn Spriggs, 23, allegedly shot and killed Calvin Warren Beam, 18, in the area of the Salvation Army on Franklin Street. On October 22, Victor H. Campos-Olguin, 29, of Chambersburg was shot in his King Street apartment. Campos-Olguin died immediately from a gunshot wound to the neck. Jason C. Shauf, 38, and Carl L. Varner, 53, are charged with the crime.

Please fill out the form below to email the following quote to a friend: A beggar had been sitting by the side of the road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by. Spare some change? mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his baseball cap. I have nothing to give you, said the stranger. Then he added, What's that you are sitting on? Nothing, replied the beggar, Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember. Ever look inside? asked the stranger. What's the point? There's nothing in there. Have a look inside, insisted the stranger. The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw the box was filled with gold. -Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, Novato CA, 1999; p. 9	<urn:uuid:7884fdc9-5918-4623-9e33-fd246896fd5b>	2013-05-21T10:20:57Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.024321934208273888, 0.011497641913592815, 0.007186025846749544, 0.00784935150295496, 0.09316037595272064, -0.010613207705318928, 0.005343455355614424, 0.05955188721418381, -0.01901533082127571, -0.0539504699409008, 0.04392688721418381, 0.021079009398818016, 0...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.958757	193	http://www.quoteland.com/share/Eckhart-Tolle-Quotes/7678/	0.88958

Multiple rally championship-winning team Kronos Racing is to return to circuit racing to run a Lola-Aston Martin LMP1 car in Le Mans events this year. Kronos took Sebastien Loeb to the 2006 World Rally Championship title during the works Citroen team's hiatus, and has subsequently been Peugeot's top squad in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, winning the 2008 and 2009 titles with Nicolas Vouilloz and Kris Meeke. Before focusing on rallying, Kronos' projects included Peugeot's Belgian touring car program, and the team won the Spa 24 Hours in 1999 and 2000 when it was run as a sedan event. The squad will field the Orbello Racing-owned Lola-Aston that was entered by the Signature team at Le Mans and in the Le Mans Series last year. Vanina Ickx will continue in the car, and is the only driver announced so far. Kronos is hoping to receive a Le Mans 24 Hours entry, but says it will finalize its budget before deciding whether to add an LMS or Intercontinental Le Mans Cup program. A statement from team managers Marc van Dalen and Jean-Pierre Mondron said: "We are extremely motivated to take up this challenge. Le Mans is one of the very mythical races in motorsports and it would be a privilege to compete in it, especially in the LMP1 category and with such a high-performing car. "For some time, we have been looking forward to going back to endurance racing at the highest level and the opportunity we now have with Vanina Ickx is a fantastic one. We are at the initial stage of the project, still discovering the car and the new environment, but our team has proven in the past to be able to diversify and adjust quickly. "We have taken all the necessary administrative steps with the ACO and await with confidence the decision of the selection committee."	<urn:uuid:09cc3cf5-998f-4bdf-a50e-94985c93e5d5>	2013-05-21T10:09:08Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.01066527422517538, -0.00337485084310174, 0.005407219752669334, 0.03937947377562523, 0.07935560494661331, -0.007197195664048195, -0.0195405725389719, 0.08293556421995163, -0.013648567721247673, -0.056085918098688126, 0.0007504847599193454, 0.0030019390396773815, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.952329	399	http://www.racer.com/kronos-enters-lmp1-with-lola-aston-martin/printarticle/194479/	0.383447
Paul Tracy will not be racing for AJ Foyt's team at this weekend's event in Texas after splitting with the team. The Canadian replaced the injured Vitor Meira in last weekend's race in Milwaukee, where he finished in 17th position, six laps down. Tracy said Foyt had told him he was "embarrassed" about the car the Canadian had in that race, and reckoned it was best to split for the time being. "I spoke with Larry Foyt yesterday to say, 'okay, let's do this season', and he appreciated that, and said he'd discuss it with his dad," Tracy told Racer.com "Then later, A.J. called and said, 'Look, I'm embarrassed about the car we gave you in Milwaukee. I can't afford to be putting you in my equipment until we've got ourselves up to par. Having you in the car puts our team under the microscope, and I want to get our team better before we do that again'." He added: "A.J. is a straight-up guy. I'd never worked with him before last weekend, and I liked his attitude of trying to get things done. So I've basically told him that any time he wants to run me - and I'm talking a race or even a test – then he just has to call. I'd be really happy to help. "I'm sad not to continue with Foyt. I was looking forward to traveling to races again and helping a little team punch big. But ultimately it's the team's decision. I hope we can work together again soon."	<urn:uuid:82a7e97d-ec0f-414a-b412-afd67abb9506>	2013-05-21T10:29:28Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.00027570498059503734, -0.0019685851875692606, 0.013439973816275597, 0.006596305873245001, 0.07091028988361359, -0.023746700957417488, -0.0018758245278149843, 0.05244063213467598, -0.007338390685617924, -0.10686016082763672, 0.034630607813596725, 0.038753297179937...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.990784	339	http://www.racer.com/tracy-splits-with-foyt/printarticle/142027/	0.263895
Discover Adionomy, Your Online Radio Advertising Campaign, Fast, Easy and Custom-Made! Norther is a metal band from Helsinki, Finland. The band began in early 1996 under the name of Requiem, and was assembled by guitarist Petri Lindroos and drummer Toni Hallio accompanied by two other musicians. In the beginning, the band suffered from the lack of a proper rehearsal place, but in late 1997, guitarist Alexander Kuoppala (ex-Children of Bodom) found a suitable place for them to practice at Lepakko; around this time the band decided to change their name from Requiem to Decayed. Their luck was short-lived, however, as their new rehearsal place was soon to be demolished.	<urn:uuid:91c751d4-6943-45c4-9474-a16d6ca3790b>	2013-05-21T09:59:49Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.020656779408454895, 0.021009886637330055, 0.0013241525739431381, 0.03125, 0.0554378516972065, -0.0346045196056366, 0.0011696680448949337, 0.07733050733804703, -0.03901836276054382, -0.0554378516972065, -0.004413841757923365, 0.02083333395421505, 0.00315589690...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.970586	151	http://www.radionomy.com/en/artist/27960/Norther/tracks	0.187928
Said AAR President and CEO Ed Hamberger, "America's freight railroads have invested more than $525 billion dollars over the past 30 years making this country's rail network the safest, most reliable and efficient system in the world. As a result, the services provided to large and small customers are second to none." The NITL proposal, said Hamberger, "will trigger serious service failures on today's nationwide rail system and wipe out the efficiencies U.S. businesses have come to expect and rely on if they are to survive in today's competitive global marketplace. Those failures will be caused by a substantial and unnecessary increase in the handling of loaded and empty freight rail cars, if the NITL proposal were to be enacted. "At a time when American businesses are just beginning to turn the corner, NITL is ignoring the needs of the vast majority of U.S. shippers," Hamberger said.	<urn:uuid:a7005de5-16f6-4df2-ab40-163ab943ffc9>	2013-05-21T10:36:01Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.03284883871674538, 0.03008720837533474, 0.0025981103535741568, 0.013880813494324684, 0.08430232852697372, -0.11279069632291794, -0.004578488413244486, 0.07267441600561142, -0.036773256957530975, -0.06395348906517029, 0.0976744219660759, 0.04215116426348686, -...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.956867	189	http://www.railwayage.com/index.php/regulatory/aar-spurns-nitl-proposal-for-mandatory-switching.html?channel=00	0.29152

The Clancy Brothers: \| keeping the faith An interview by Tom Knapp, There seems to be an unquenchable thirst in the world for traditional Celtic music. It's a thirst the Clancy Brothers helped create in the '60s and one they've helped satisfy for more than three decades. Liam, the youngest of the brothers, doesn't like to tally the years they've spent on the road. "Don't even remind us how long," he said, chuckling. With more than 50 albums to their credit, there's no denying the Clancys have made a permanent mark on Celtic culture. Many people credit them with giving the traditional music the boost it needed. But how have the Clancy Brothers changed in three decades? "Not much," said nephew Robbie O'Connell, who joined the ensemble in 1977. The band's membership has altered slightly over the years. When Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy embarked on solo careers in the '70s, Bobby Clancy and Robbie O'Connell filled their slots. In 1990, brother Tommy Clancy died and Liam returned to the band. "We've been around forever," offered Liam. "We got older." Then he laughed. "Older but wiser." Years on the road have given the Clancys much-needed seasoning, he said. "We're a bit like blues singers," he explained. "Blues singers kind of mellow into it as they go along. ... We're not as wild and woolly as we used to be. A little bit more mature." But the music? "It's very much the same as it was," he said. Much of the Clancys' vast discography is being re-released on compact disc, he noted. "There's a boom, a massive new interest in Irish music, song and dance," he said. "We're all reaping the benefits of this renaissance." There's a flood of new Celtic musicians on the market -- including a big migration of American musicians to Ireland, where they write and record while steeping in the culture. The growth of Celtic music has taken many forms, from pure traditional renditions by the Clancy Brothers and the Chieftains to the new age renderings of Enya and Clannad. Each has its place, Liam said. "There are as many facets as there are people working in the field," he said. "It's all grist for the mill. It's all distilled through the souls of the people who play it." The management for Irish rock band U-2 is working with Atlantic Records to produce an album series called "Celtic Heartbeats," he said. The series will work mostly with new talent but "will hopefully find room for us old-timers." Some Americans show their Irish only on St. Paddy's Day and to them, "Danny Boy" is the only real Irish hit. To the Clancys, who have plumbed the depths of Celtic tradition for a rich and varied playlist, that's a joke -- perhaps even an insult. "I think we scotched that one a long time ago," Liam said. "To me, 'Danny Boy' is schmaltzy. But the tune to 'Danny Boy,' the 'Londonderry Air,' is magnificent. The schmoozy, oozing quality of the words are what drive me crazy." Instead, listen to some of their classics, like "Wild Rover," "The Foggy Dew," "Finnegan's Wake," "The Jug of Punch" and "The Wild Colonial Boy." Expect to hear "Will You Go Lassie Go," Liam's personal favorite. And don't be afraid to sing along. "When you're a participant and not just an observer, it gives you so much energy," Liam said. "Once an audience starts, they just don't want to stop singing." Traditional Celtic songs often have unusual depth, Liam said, because of the living that proceeded the writing. "It's the honesty and the simplicity," he said. "Anything that comes from the writer's own personal background. Then it's real, it's not formulaic. ... I keep looking for songs that come out from that same kind of emotion." "It comes from a different time and a different place," he added. "People were writing their own experiences, they weren't writing for profit. You can't duplicate that. You can't just say 'I'm a songwriter, I'm going to write a rap song' or 'I'm going to write a pop song.' ... That song isn't going to have any meaning. What's there to begin with?" To write with true emotion, he said, writers need experience. "A lot of people today are just watching life secondhand on television," he said. "They're not living life. ... They've lost touch with nature, they've lost touch with family, lost touch with work." A song needs a few things to qualify for the Clancy's repertoire, Liam explained. "Mainly we go for a good storyline, a song that's real -- not what we call Mickey Mouse. It's not made up, it's not Tin Pan Alley," he said. "The story, the emotions are the most important thing. There has to be poetry in it ... something that grabs you one way or another. It has to have universality." The emotion filters through even when the audience doesn't know the words, he said. "Some of the most requested songs are in Irish. People don't understand what they say, but they still carry some deep emotional message to them. It seems to dredge up some old race memories. ... I think it touches some deeper core from the old European psyche. After all, the Celts started out in middle Eastern Europe. One branch of them traveled south along the Mediterranean and up the Atlantic coast. Another branch went north, then down through Scandinavia and Scotland." He was amazed, he said, at a recent performance in Denmark. "We thought we were going to have to have an interpreter, we didn't know how they were going to understand us," he said. "To our incredible amazement, everybody sang every song with us." Much Irish music has grown from political turmoil. Now that peace seems to be at hand, it's possible, Liam conceded, that new Irish music will change. "We need conflict in our lives," he said. As examples he cited Italy, which produced great opera and great art on the heels of great strife, and passive Switzerland, whose great contribution to art has been the cuckoo clock. But O'Connell doesn't agree that the recent cease-fire between Irish nationalists and unionists will have much impact. "The amount of music that's related to the political situation is very small," he said. "So it's really not a factor." Much Irish music deals with love, O'Connell said. "The drinking songs and fighting songs come later." Liam hopes peace will help, not hinder, the music. "It looks very very good at the moment," he said. "If the two conflicting traditions start a friendlier coexistence, I think there's going to be a lot of sharing. ... The fusion is happening already."

This is great for enterprises or organizations whose architecture depends upon a single platform (Java), but the reality is that most organizations have hi-bred architectures consisting of Java and .NET (and others). Oftentimes these systems need to communicate using common messaging schematics: ActiveMQ and Apache.NMS satisfy this integration requirement. The JMS specification outlines the requirements for system communication between Java Messaging Middleware and the clients that use them. Products that implement the JMS specification do so by developing a provider that supports the set of JMS interfaces and messaging semantics. Examples of JMS providers include open source offerings such as ActiveMQ, HornetQ and GlassFish and proprietary offerings such as SonicMQ and WebSphere MQ. The specification simply makes it easier for third parties to develop providers. All messaging in JMS is peer-2-peer; clients are either JMS or non JMS applications that send and receive messages via a provider. JMS applications are pure Java based applications whereas non JMS use JMS styled APIs such as ActiveMQ.NMS which uses OpenWire, a cross language wire protocol that allows native access to the ActiveMQ provider. JMS messaging schematics are defined into two separate domains: queue based and topic based applications. Queue based or more formally, point-to-point (PTP) clients rely on “senders” sending messages to specific queues and “receivers” registering as listeners to the queue. In scenarios where more a queue has more than one listener, the messages are delivered in a round-robin fashion between each listener; only one copy of the message is delivered. Think of this as something like a phone call between you and another person. Topic based application follow the publish/subscribe metaphor in which (in most cases) a single publisher client publishes a message to a topic and all subscribers to that topic receive a copy. This type of messaging metaphor is often referred to as broadcast messaging because a single client sends messages to all client subscribers. This is some analogous to a TV station broadcasting a television show to you and any other people who wish to “subscribe” to a specific channel. JMS API Basics The JMS Standard defines a series of interfaces that client applications and providers use to send messages and receive messages. From a client perspective, this makes learning the various JMS implementations relatively easy, since once you learn one you can apply what you learned to another implementation relatively easily and NMS is no exception. The core components of JMS are as follows: ConnectionFactory, Connection, Destination, Session, MessageProducer, and MessageConsumer. The following diagram illustrates communication and creational aspects of each object: NMS supplies similar interfaces to the .NET world which allows for clients to send messages to and from the ActiveMQ JMS via OpenWire. A quick rundown of the NMS interfaces are as follows: Note that the Apache.NMS namespace contains several more interfaces and classes, but these are the essential interfaces that map to the JMS specification. The following diagram illustrates the signature that each interface provides: The interfaces above are all part of the Apache.NMS 1.30 API available for download here. In order to use NMS in your .NET code you also need to down load the Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ client as well and to test your code, you will need to download and install the ActiveMQ broker, which is written in Java so it requires the JRE to be installed as well. The following table provides links to each download: For my examples I will be using the latest release of Apache.NMS and Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ as of this writing time. You should simple pick the latest version that is stable. The same applies for ActiveMQ and the JDK/JRE…note that you only need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to host install ActiveMQ. Install the JDK if you want to take advantage of some the tools that it offers for working with JMS providers. To start ActiveMQ, install the JRE (if you do not already have it installed – most people do already) and unzip the ActiveMQ release into a directory…in directory will do. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder with the ActiveMQ release and locate the “bin” folder, then type ‘activemq”. You should see something like the following: Download and install the Apache.NMS and Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ libraries from the links defined in the table above. Unzip them into a directory on your hard drive, so that you can reference them from Visual Studio. Open Visual Studio 2008/2010 and create a new Windows project of type “Class Library”: And once the project is created, using the “Add Reference” dialog, browse to the directory where you unzipped the Apache.NMS files defined above and a reference to the Apache.NMS.dll. Do the same for the Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ download. Note that each download contains builds for several different .NET versions; I chose the “net-3.5” version of each dll since I am using VS 2008 and targeting the 3.5 version of .NET. For my examples you will also need to install the latest and greatest version NUnit from www.nunit.org. After you have installed NUnit, add a reference to the nunit.framework.dll. Note that any unit testing framework should work. Add three classes to the project: - A test harness class (ApacheNMSActiveMQTests.cs) - A publisher class (TopicPublisher.cs) - A subscriber class (TopicSubscriber.cs). Your solution explorer should look something like the following: The test harness will be used to demonstrate the use of the two other classes. The TopicPublisher class represents a container for a message producer and the TopicSubcriber represents a container for a message consumer. The publisher, TopicPublisher is a simple container/wrapper class that allows a client to easily send messages to a topic. Remember from my previous discussion about topics that topics allow for broadcast messaging scenarios: a single publisher sends a message to one or more subscribers and that all subscribers will receive a copy of the message. Message producers typically have a lifetime equal to the amount of time it takes to send a message, however for performance reasons you can extend the life out to the length of the application’s lifetime. Like the TopicPublisher above, the TopicSubscriber class is container/wrapper class that allows clients to “listen in” or “subscribe” to a topic. The TopicSubscriber class is typically has a lifetime that is the equal to the lifetime of the application. The reason is pretty obvious: a publisher always knows when it will publish, but a subscriber never knows when the publisher will send the message. What the subscriber does is create a permanent “listener” to the topic, when a publisher sends a message to the topic, the subscriber will receive and process the message. The following unit test shows the classes above used in conjunction with the Apache.NMS and Apache.NMS.ActiveMQ API’s to send and receive messages to ActiveMQ which is Java based, from the .NET world! Here is quick rundown of the ApachNMSActiveMQTests class: - Declare variables for the required NMS objects and the TopicSubscriber - Declare variables for the broker URI, the topic to subscribe/publish to, and the client and consumer ids - Create a ConnectionFactory object, create and start a Connection, and then create a Session to work with. - Create and start the TopicSubscriber which will be a listener/subscriber to the “TestTopic” topic. Also, to receive messages you must register an event handler or lambda expression with the MessageReceivedDelegate delegate. In this example I in-lined a lambda expression for simplicity. - On the test the method, create a temporary publisher and send a message to the topic. - Tear down and dispose of the subscriber and Session. - Tear down and dispose of the Connection. After you run the unit test you should see something like the following message: Note that ActiveMQ must be up and running for the example to work.	<urn:uuid:73b23611-c6f1-4577-9ef2-cbb95d8098c3>	2013-05-21T10:21:14Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.0096435546875, 0.026123046875, 0.0361328125, -0.0031585693359375, 0.041015625, -0.02587890625, 0.0050048828125, 0.12060546875, -0.012451171875, -0.0111083984375, 0.09912109375, 0.019775390625, -0.064453125, 0.021728515625, 0.0301513671875, -0.0228...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.888875	1,808	http://www.rantdriven.com/2010/07/default.aspx	0.342638
Below you will find several recent observations about the relationship between reading and science process skills. Significant improvement in both science and reading scores occurred when the regular basal reading program was replaced with reading in science that correlated with the science curriculum (Romance and Vitale, 2001). Teachers should help students recognize the important role that prior knowledge plays and teach them to use that knowledge when learning science through reading (Barton and Jordan, 2001). Most students arrive at the science teacher's classroom knowing how to read, but few understand how to use reading for learning science content (Santa, Havens, and Harrison, 1996). The same skills that make good scientists also make good readers: engaging prior knowledge, forming hypotheses, establishing plans, evaluating understanding, determining the relative importance of information, describing patterns, comparing and contrasting, making inferences, drawing conclusions, generalizing, evaluating sources, and so on (Armbruster, 1993). The skills in science are remarkably similar to those used in other subjects, especially reading. When students are doing science, following scientific procedures, and thinking as scientists, they are developing skills that are necessary for effective reading and understanding (Padilla, Muth and Lund Padilla, 1991). Students engaging in hands-on activities are forced to confront currently held cognitive frameworks with new ideas, and, thus actively reconstruct meaning form experience (Shymansky, 1989). Because hands-on activities encourage students to generate their own questions whose answers are found by subsequent reading of their science textbook or other science materials, such activities can provide students with both a meaningful purpose for reading (Ulerick, 1989) and context-valid cognitive frames of reference from which to construct meaning from text (Nelson-Herber, 1986). Reading and activity-oriented sciences emphasize the same intellectual skills and are both concerned with thinking processes. When a teacher helps students develop science process skills, reading processes are simultaneously being developed (Mechling & Oliver, 1983 and Simon & Zimmerman, 1980). Research indicates that a strong experienced-based science program, one in which students directly manipulate materials, can facilitate the development of language arts skills (Wellman, 1978). Science process skills have reading counterparts. For example, when a teacher is working on "describing" in science, students are learning to isolate important characteristics, enumerate characteristics, use appropriate terminology, and use synonyms which are important reading skills (Carter & Simpson, 1978). When students have used the process skills of observing, identifying, and classifying, they are better able to discriminate between vowels and consonants and to learn the sounds represented by letters, letter blends, and syllables (Murray & Pikul ski, 1978). Science instruction provides an alternative teaching strategy that motivates students who may have reading difficulties (Wellman, 1978). Children's involvement with process skills enables them to recognize more easily the contextual and structural clues in attacking new words and better equips them to interpret data in a paragraph. Science process skills are essential to logical thinking, as well as to forming the basic skills for learning to read (Barufaldi & Swift, 1977). Guszak defines reading readiness as a skill-complex. Of the three areas within the skill-complex, two can be directly enhanced by science process skills: (1) physical factors (health, auditory, visual, speech, and motor); and (2) understanding factors (concepts, processes). When students see, hear, and talk about science experiences, their understanding, perception, and comprehension of concepts and processes may improve (Barufaldi & Swift, 1977 and Bethel, 1974). The hands-on manipulative experiences science provides are the key to the relationship between process skills in both science and reading (Lucas & Burlando, 1975). Science activities provide opportunities for manipulating large quantities of multi-sensory materials which promote perceptual skills, i.e., tactile, kinesthetic, auditory, and visual (Neuman, 1969). These skills then contribute to the development of the concepts, vocabulary, and oral language skills (listening and speaking) necessary for learning to read (Wellman, 1978). Studies viewed cumulatively suggest that science instruction at the intermediate and upper elementary grades does improve the attainment of reading skills. The findings reveal that students have derived benefits in the areas of vocabulary enrichment, increased verbal fluency, enhanced ability to think logically, and improved concept formation and communication skills (Campbell, 1972; Kraft, 1961; Olson, 1971; Quinn & Kessler, 1976).	<urn:uuid:ec9cf480-f6cb-437c-a4cf-e506d9210796>	2013-05-21T10:20:43Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.03271484375, 0.0224609375, 0.01318359375, 0.00830078125, 0.09033203125, -0.02197265625, 0.025146484375, 0.1142578125, -0.01513671875, -0.02392578125, 0.07275390625, 0.0286865234375, -0.056884765625, 0.035888671875, 0.0400390625, -0.0240478515625, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.925986	920	http://www.readingeducator.com/content/science/research.htm	0.182904

The proper beef roast cook times and the correct beef cooking oven temperatures are extremely important. The optimum flavor and tenderness of various beef roasts can be consistently achieved when care is taken to follow the recommended time and temperature guidelines for cooking beef roasts. Rotisserie Grilling Beef \| Doneness For general guidelines on rotisserie grilling, see Rotisserie Grilling Basics. Rotisserie Grilling Beef There are two methods of cooking beef using a rotisserie: direct heat cooking and indirect heat cooking. The high heat of grilling sears the surface of beef, creating tender meat with a flavorful crust. The required cooking temperature and the method of grilling (direct, indirect, or a combination) depends on the cut of beef and the quality of the meat. A boneless beefsteak cut from the top loin muscle of the short loin. Boneless top loin steaks are tender and flavorful and are best prepared using grilling, broiling, sautéing, or pan-frying cooking methods. A sandwich meat that is made with cooked beef shavings encased in gelatin and formed into a rectangular-shaped loaf approximately 12 inches in length that is typically 4 inches wide by 4 inches in depth.	<urn:uuid:cdef645c-93de-4cb4-b096-52e2e28651eb>	2013-05-21T10:36:21Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.02173442952334881, 0.036332178860902786, -0.02238321863114834, 0.028979238122701645, 0.06314878910779953, -0.06444636732339859, -0.010380622930824757, 0.06444636732339859, 0.0005541738937608898, 0.015246539376676083, 0.05298442766070366, 0.04801037907600403, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.86604	259	http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--101786/slow-cooked-boneless-beef-ribs.asp	0.243486

India's first indigenously developed sub-sonic cruise missile Nirbhay on Tuesday failed to hit the target in its maiden test-firing as it had to be terminated mid-way after deviating from the flight course. However, the Defence Research and Development Organisation said the missile "successfully" met the basic mission objectives and performed some of the manouveres satisfactorily before being terminated mid way. "Nirbhay was successfully launched today at 1150 hrs from launch complex, Chandipur, Odisha, meeting the basic mission objectives successfully. "After travelling approximately mid-way, deviations were observed from its intended course. Further, flight was terminated to ensure coastal safety," DRDO spokesman Ravi Gupta said in a release. The surface-to-surface sub-sonic cruise missile has the capability of being launched from land, sea and air, they said, adding Nirbhay has good loitering capability, good control and guidance, high degree of accuracy in terms of impact and very good stealth features. Nirbhay was developed by Aeronautical Development Establishment, a DRDO laboratory based in Bangalore is understood to have a strike-range of around 1,500 km.	<urn:uuid:e1d67c78-96a6-48fe-8658-a00951c673a8>	2013-05-21T10:01:33Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.0301339291036129, 0.0446428582072258, -0.00415736623108387, 0.0010811941465362906, 0.0625, -0.09776785969734192, -0.02299107052385807, 0.0580357126891613, -0.01595982164144516, -0.0262276791036129, 0.05982142686843872, 0.03125, -0.02377232164144516, 0.029...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.972952	250	http://www.rediff.com/news/report/indias-first-sonic-cruise-missile-nirbhay-test-fired/20130312.htm	0.76902

A canticle (from the Latin canticulum, a diminutive of canticum, song) is a hymn (strictly excluding the Psalms) taken from the Bible. The term is often expanded to include ancient non-biblical hymns such as the Te Deum and certain psalms used liturgically. These three canticles are sometimes referred to as the "evangelical canticles", as they are taken from the Gospel of St Luke. They are sung every day (unlike those from the Old Testament which, as is, shown above, are only of weekly occurrence). They are placed not amongst the psalms (as are the seven from the Old Testament), but separated from them by the Chapter, the Hymn, the Versicle and Response, and thus come immediately before the Prayer (or before the preces, if these are to be said). They are thus given an importance and distinction elevating them into great prominence, which is further heightened by the rubric which requires the singers and congregations to stand while they are being sung (in honour of the mystery of the Incarnation, to which they refer). Further, while the "Magnificat" is being sung at Solemn Vespers, the altar is incensed as at Solemn Mass. All three canticles are in use in the Greek and Anglican churches. In the Breviary the above-named ten canticles are provided with antiphons and are sung in the same eight psalm-tones and in the same alternating manner as the psalms. To make the seven taken from the Old Testament suitable for this manner of singing, nos. 2-7 sometimes divide a verse of the Bible into two verses, thus increasing the number of Breviary verses. No. 1, however, goes much farther than this. It uses only a portion of the long canticle in Daniel, and condenses, expands, omits, and interverts verses and portions of verses. In the Breviary the canticle begins with verse 57, and ends with verse 56 (Dan., iii); and the penultimate verse is clearly an interpolation, "Benedicamus Patrem, et Filium . . .". In addition to their Breviary use some of the canticles are used in other connections in the liturgy; e.g. the "Nunc dimittis" as a tract at the Mass of the Feast of the Purification (when 2 February comes after Septuagesima); the "Benedictus" in the burial of the dead and in various processions. The use of the "Benedictus" and the "Benedicite" at the old Gallican Mass is interestingly described by Duchene (Christian Worship: Its Origin and Evolution, London, 1903, 191-196). In the Office of the Greek Church the canticles numbered 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are used at Lauds, but are not assigned to the same days as in the Roman Breviary. Two others (Isaiah 26:9-20, and Jonah 2:2-9) are added for Friday and Saturday respectively. The ten canticles so far mentioned do not exhaust the portions of Sacred Scripture which are styled "canticles". There are, so example, those of Deborah and Barac, Judith, the "canticle of Canticles"; and many psalms (e.g. xvii, 1, "this canticle"; xxxviii,1, "canticle of David"; xliv,1, "canticle for the beloved"; and the first verse of Pss. 1xiv, 1xv, 1xvi, 1xvii, etc). In the first verse of some psalms the phrase psalmus cantici (the psalm of a canticle) is found, and in others the phrase canticum psalmi (a canticle of a psalm). Cardinal Bona thinks that psalmus cantici indicated that the voice was to precede the instrumental accompaniment, while canticum psalmi indicated an instrumental prelude to the voice. This distinction follows from his view of a canticle as an unaccompanied vocal song, and of a psalm as an accompanied vocal song. It is not easy to distinguish satisfactorily the meanings of psalm, hymn, canticle, as referred to by St. Paul in two places. Canticum appears to be generic - a song, whether sacred or secular; and there is reason to think that his admonition did not contemplate religious assemblies of the Christians, but their social gatherings. In these the Christians were to sing "spiritual songs", and not the profane or lascivious songs common amongst the pagans. These spiritual songs were not exactly psalms or hymns. The hymn may then be defined as a metrical or rhythmical praise of God; and the psalm, accompanied sacred song or canticle, either taken from the Psalms or from some less authoritative source (St. Augustine declaring that a canticle may be without a psalm but not a psalm without a canticle). In addition to the ten canticles enumerated above the Roman Breviary places in its index, under the heading "Cantica", the "Te Deum" (at the end of Matins for Sundays and Festivals, but there styled "Hymnus SS. Ambrosii et Augustini") and the: "Quicumque vult salvus esse" (Sundays at Prime, but there styled "Symbolum S. Athanasii", the "Creed of St. Athanasius"). To these are sometimes added by writers the "Gloria in excelsis", the "Trisagion", and the "Gloria Patri" (the Lesser Doxology). In the "Psalter and Canticles Pointed for chanting" (Philadelphia, 1901), for the use of the Evangelical Lutheran Congregations, occurs a "Table of canticles" embracing Nos. 1, 3, 8, 9, 10, besides certain psalms, and the "Te Deum" and "Venite" (Ps. xicv, used at the beginning of Matins in the Roman Breviary). The word Canticles is thus seen to be somewhat elastic in its comprehension. On the one hand, while it is used in the common parlance in the Church of England to cover several of the enumerated canticles, the Prayer Book applies it only to the "Benedicite", while in its Calendar the word Canticles is applied to what is commonly known as the "Song of Solomon" (the Catholic "Canticle of Canticles", Vulgate, "Canticum canticorum"). The nine Canticles are as follows: Originally, these Canticles were chanted in their entirety every day, with a short refrain inserted between each verse. Eventually, short verses (troparia) were composed to replace these refrains, a process traditionally inaugurated by Saint Andrew of Crete. Gradually over the centuries, the verses of the Biblical Canticles were omitted (except for the Magnificat) and only the composed troparia were read, linked to the original canticles by an Irmos. During Great Lent however, the original Biblical Canticles are still read. Another Biblical Canticle, the Nunc Dimittis is either read or sung at Vespers.	<urn:uuid:617a48de-4593-4652-a581-fd490cb1420f>	2013-05-21T10:21:01Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.01409912109375, -0.007781982421875, -0.029052734375, -0.006011962890625, 0.06494140625, -0.0185546875, -0.00162506103515625, 0.09912109375, -0.030517578125, -0.06787109375, 0.091796875, -0.0057373046875, -0.062255859375, 0.0003871917724609375, 0.03637...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.944137	1,566	http://www.reference.com/browse/Canticle+of+Canticles	0.207318
The Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine (Զանգեզուրի պղնձամոլիբդենային կոմբինատ) is a mining industry enterprise in Armenia The first geological investigations with Kajaran in the province Syunik took place in 1935. The building of Kajaran of copper and molybdenum mine began in 1940, because of the Second World War however until 1944 it was still interrupted. The dismantling of Molybdenum began in 1951. The Center of the 1970 years was designated the collective combine after the region Sangesur. After the independence of Armenia from the Soviet Union in the year 1991 the deep economic crisis seized also the Sangesurer copper and molybdenum collective combined. It stood still until 1994.	<urn:uuid:2d9ee498-a8cd-4eb8-b785-939da5e3a3b1>	2013-05-21T10:35:09Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.024122806265950203, 0.013888888992369175, -0.030884502455592155, -0.004363121464848518, 0.09320175647735596, -0.05957602337002754, -0.003609283594414592, 0.12792398035526276, -0.0037235014606267214, -0.09576023370027542, -0.012701023370027542, 0.06103801354765892,...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.843261	222	http://www.reference.com/browse/Copper+and+Booker	0.873126
• SELECT SITE CURRENCY Select a currency for use throughout the site The 2009 Import and Export Market for Beans, Peas, Lentils, and Legumes in New Caledonia ICON Group International, August 2009, Pages: 12 On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on beans, peas, lentils, and legumes in New Caledonia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying beans, peas, lentils, and legumes to New Caledonia? How important is New Caledonia compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of beans, peas, lentils, and legumes vary from one country of origin to another in New Caledonia? On the supply side, New Caledonia also exports beans, peas, lentils, and legumes. Which countries receive the most exports from New Caledonia? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for beans, peas, lentils, and legumes in New Caledonia. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for beans, peas, lentils, and legumes for those countries serving New Caledonia via exports, or supplying from New Caledonia via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where New Caledonia fits into the world market for imported and exported beans, peas, lentils, and legumes. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for New Caledonia in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that New Caledonia is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize New Caledonia compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes. After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of beans, peas, lentils, and legumes, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving New Caledonia. A “major” market is defined as a country where New Caledonia represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to New Caledonia, one can thus observe how important New Caledonia is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of beans, peas, lentils, and legumes originating from New Caledonia, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that New Caledonia has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for New Caledonia. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of beans, peas, lentils, and legumes to and from New Caledonia to and from all other major countries in the world. "Beans, Peas, Lentils, and Legumes" as a category is defined in this report following the definition given by the United Nations Statistics Division Classification Registry using the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev. 3). The SITC code that defined "beans, peas, lentils, and legumes" is 0542 . 1 INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY 2 NEW CALEDONIA AND THE WORLD MARKET 2.1 Imports in New Caledonia in 2009 2.2 Exports from New Caledonia in 2009 3 IMPORTS IN NEW CALEDONIA 4 EXPORTS FROM NEW CALEDONIA 5 DISCLAIMERS, WARRANTEES, AND USER AGREEMENT PROVISIONS 5.1 Disclaimers & Safe Harbor 5.2 ICON Group Ltd.

Identification of amino acid substitutions that render the Arabidopsis cytokinin receptor histidine kinase AHK4 constitutively active. ABSTRACT In Arabidopsis, three genes (AHK2, AHK3 and AHK4/CRE1) encode histidine kinases (His-kinases), which serve as cytokinin receptors. To understand how the external cytokinin signal activates the His-kinase across the cell membrane, we exploited the power of microbial genetics to isolate several AHK4 mutants that function independently of cytokinin in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic assay systems. In each mutant, a single amino acid substitution within the second membrane-spanning segment, or within the region around the phosphorylation His site, renders the His-kinase constitutively active. These mutant receptors appear to have a 'locked-on' conformation, even in the absence of stimulus. We discuss the implications of these data for the structure and function of the cytokinin receptor His-kinases in plants.	<urn:uuid:befbd862-1490-4ea1-a57f-5be0afe255e9>	2013-05-21T10:17:30Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.020369432866573334, -0.008097166195511818, 0.018724696710705757, 0.016953440383076668, 0.07236842066049576, -0.09767206758260727, 0.023279352113604546, 0.09665992110967636, -0.02125506103038788, 0.01632085070014, 0.08552631735801697, -0.0038588056340813637, -...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.826147	218	http://www.researchgate.net/publication/5888674_Identification_of_amino_acid_substitutions_that_render_the_Arabidopsis_cytokinin_receptor_histidine_kinase_AHK4_constitutively_active	0.497737
Rare James Bond posters hitting auction block in LA (Reuters) - In line with the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, posters from every Bond movie in the series are hitting the auction block in December, along with stills, lobby cards, scripts and other 007 ephemera. Auctioneer Profiles in History said the Bond poster collection is expected to take in well over $200,000, led by a rare "From Russia With Love" special advance Leicester Square world-premiere poster from 1963. It is one of a handful believed still in existence and is expected to fetch $10,000 to $15,000, the auction house said. "It's such a rare thing when you get every title like this," said Joe Maddalena, the auction house's president, referring to the comprehensive offerings. The posters and other items were assembled over some 25 years by a private British collector, Maddalena told Reuters. "He wanted to build the most comprehensive James Bond movie poster collection," he said. "It's really a mind-boggling collection," Maddalena added, pointing to examples such as a yellow "Dr. No" silkscreen on linen poster from 1962 that is thought to be the very first 007 film poster ever to appear to the public. The auction house estimates what it called the "holy grail" of film poster collecting to sell for $3,000 to $5,000, but Maddalena said he strives to keep estimates conservative. Other highlights include posters from the earliest Bond films, including a rare U.K. advance "Goldfinger" from 1964 and a British "Thunderball" poster from 1965, each estimated to sell for $4,000 to $6,000. The auction, including hundreds of other, non-Bond film memorabilia, will be held on December 15-16 in Los Angeles. Hollywood memorabilia has achieved some stunning prices in recent years. Profiles in History's 2011 auction of Debbie Reynolds' costume collection was led by the Marilyn Monroe "subway" dress from "The Seven Year Itch" which soared to $5.5 million, while Audrey Hepburn's Ascot dress from "My Fair Lady" fetched more than $4.4 million. A charity auction of Bond items took in $2.6 million earlier this month in London, led by an Aston Martin driven by Daniel Craig in his second Bond outing, "Quantum of Solace," which sold for $390,000. Another bidder paid nearly $72,000 for Craig's "Casino Royale" bathing suit.

Suspect named in Las Vegas shooting that killed aspiring rapper (Reuters) - Police have identified a suspect in the fatal shooting of an aspiring rapper as he drove on the Las Vegas Strip in a Maserati before dawn on Thursday, sparking a fiery crash that also killed a cab driver and his passenger. Ammar Asim Faruq Harris, described as armed and dangerous, was still at large on Saturday, but the black Range Rover from which he is suspected of opening fire had been impounded, Las Vegas police said. Authorities said a gunman in a Range Rover opened fire early on Thursday on the silver Maserati being driven by 27-year-old Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr., who performed under the name "Kenny Clutch." Cherry was slain and his car veered out of control and smashed into a taxi, which exploded into flames in an intersection on the Las Vegas Strip in front of several casino resorts, killing the driver and a passenger and triggering another multi-car crash. Authorities believe the confrontation started in the valet parking lot of a nearby hotel, the Aria Resort and Casino. But police did not identify a motive for the shooting or the altercation. Police identified Harris, 26, as the driver of the apparently brand-new luxury sport utility vehicle, and said he had also opened fire. Police said in a statement that he had an "extensive and violent criminal history." Killed in the cab were driver Michael Bolden, 62, and a passenger who has not been identified by authorities. Las Vegas television station KTNV identified the passenger killed as Sandi Sutton, a Washington state woman who worked for a Seattle-area chamber of commerce. A passenger in Cherry's vehicle suffered a minor injury and cooperated with police, authorities said. Three other people were also injured in the melee, which took place near the Bellagio and Caesars Palace hotels. The incident occurred less than a mile from where rapper Tupac Shakur was shot in September 1996 while riding in a BMW with Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight after the two men had attended a Mike Tyson boxing match. Shakur, 25, was hit by gunfire from at least one assailant in a Cadillac while sitting in Knight's car at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane and died six days later at a hospital. His murder remains unsolved.

A hugely successful trio with multiple number one hits throughout the '90s, SWV (Sisters With Voices) comprised Coko, Taj, and Lelee. Their 1992 debut It's About Time (produced by Teddy Riley) went double platinum on the strength of several chart-scorching singles and led to award nominations from the Grammys, AMAs, and The Source. A remix EP followed and soon went Gold. Their second proper album New Beginning dropped in '96, and their third LP features collaborations with an array of superstar rappers including Puff Daddy, Redman, Lil' Kim, Snoop Dogg, and E-40. The trio released a Christmas album in '97 and broke up in '98. A greatest hits package appeared in '99, as did Coko's solo album Hot Coko.	<urn:uuid:0a5f60f7-fc73-4589-b382-29920eb81c3b>	2013-05-21T10:37:41Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.008497100323438644, 0.01610824652016163, -0.004792203661054373, 0.028511598706245422, 0.030927835032343864, 0.01071198470890522, -0.006604381371289492, 0.08505154401063919, -0.0647551566362381, -0.07635309547185898, -0.001570554100908339, -0.0004354260745458305, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.950067	167	http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/swv	0.39951
After losing huge amounts of retirement money in the stock market, many people are asking: Should I stop contributing to my 401(k)? Should I take money out of my 401(k) and invest it in something else, despite the tax penalties for doing so? The problem with a 401(k) is that you put up 100% of the capital, assume 100% of the risk, and you only get 20% of the profits. The other 80% of the profit goes to fees and commissions. The key question is: Do you have the financial education needed to find an investment that will give you a better return? There are certainly better investments than 401(k)s. But for people who have little financial education a 401(k) may be the best investment. I do not advise people to get out of their 401(k) if they don’t have the financial education needed to find and wisely manage a good investment. Just like you wouldn’t want to give a teenager a car before they learn to drive, you don’t want to purchase an investment before you’ve learned to control the risk. Every investment carries some risk, but as your education about that investment increases, your risk decreases. With a 401(k) you are turning your money over to someone else, which means they get most of the control... and most of the profits. You can do a better job with your money than anyone else. First, however, you need to arm yourself with some financial education. So if you want to get out of your 401(k), set aside some time now to increase your financial education a little bit every day. That is one investment that is sure to bring you good returns!	<urn:uuid:81225f1a-1c03-4905-9ffe-7a9cd77d54f7>	2013-05-21T10:05:30Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.0219594594091177, 0.02618243172764778, -0.014611486345529556, -0.02119932509958744, 0.05608108267188072, -0.09459459781646729, 0.01089526992291212, 0.06993243098258972, -0.04932432249188423, -0.000760135124437511, 0.11554054170846939, 0.018918918445706367, -0...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.967185	356	http://www.richdad.com/Resources/Rich-Dad-Financial-Education-Blog/July-2009/What-Should-I-Do-With-My-401(k)-.aspx	0.170972

Throughout its grand history the colonial film has exploited the violence associated with the imperial adventure, the clash between Europeans and --- take your pick --- Africans, Indians, Asians, Pacific Islanders. When set in the 19th century, the great age of imperialism, it usually concentrates on the heroic actions of British (and occasionally American) fighting men in distant lands, which makes for exciting cinema --- Beau Geste, Four Feathers, Gunga Din, King of the Khyber Rifles, Zulu, 55 Days of Peking, The Sand Pebbles, and scores of others. At the same time, those films also dramatize the romance of foreign places and customs, the seduction of the visitor by the beauty and strangeness of another people, another land. When they deal with the 20th century colonial experience, however, the films analyze more seriously the cultural distances between two civilizations and suggest something like a reversal of roles, the subsequent instruction of the allegedly sophisticated conqueror by the allegedly primitive native people, often against a background of obscure peril. The high adventure of battle and conquest becomes an inward struggle, an interior journey, the exploration of a different sort of uncharted territory, the tangled wilderness of the human heart. In The Painted Veil, several familiar themes of colonial fiction and film combine to show the impact of the experience on an immature, self-absorbed young woman in a foreign land at a time of turmoil and danger. The picture opens in 1925, with a sequence showing the tedious and painful journey of an English couple, Dr. Walter Fane (Edward Norton) and his wife, Kitty (Naomi Watts), to a remote village in inland China, far from any of the amenities enjoyed by the privileged Brit abroad. A series of flashbacks establishes the shaky basis for the hasty, unwise marriage of the government bacteriologist and the spoiled socialite, and Kitty's subsequent boredom and loneliness in Shanghai. When Walter discovers her affair with a British diplomat (Liev Schreiber), he punishes her by forcing her to accompany him when he volunteers to help in a cholera epidemic. Compounding her unhappiness, Walter's risky undertaking threatens both their lives --- from the disease, from the predatory warlords, from a populace resentful of foreigners, even when they arrive with the naive intention of doing good. As Walter works with a Chinese doctor tending to the sick and attempting to find the source of the disease, Kitty simmers with resentment; their relationship devolves into a barely tolerable state of mutual hostility. Virtually on a whim, Kitty finally finds a way to make herself useful, helping the nuns in a French convent to work with Chinese orphans, an experience that expands her understanding of the people, her situation, and her husband. When the mother superior (Diana Rigg) speaks to her of duty, faith, and service, she also learns something of the meaning of grace, which ultimately transforms both her spirit and her marriage. Though the movie tends to sentimentalize and simplify the love story that essentially empowers its plot, it provides some satisfying sequences and images worthy of its grand tradition. Walter's discovery of a method to combat the deadly disease follows a pattern that reaches all the way back to Kipling's fascination with the engineers and technicians who built the railroads and bridges that crossed the Indian subcontinent; the obscure heroism of his medical work further recalls Conrad's novels about the imperial endeavor in Africa and the Far East. In addition to the generally controlled and understated performances of Edward Norton and Naomi Watts, who speak with convincing English accents, an actor named Toby Jones conveys perfectly the character of a local representative of the British government named Waddington, a perfectly decent fellow gone entirely to seed in the great tradition, succumbing to the temptations and corruptions of an exotic land. Despite the quality of the acting and the pat predictability of much of the script, The Painted Veil works most eloquently in its beautiful silences. It returns again and again to shots of Norton and Watts traversing a river from their squalid house to the village full of the sick and dying, showing the lush, angular hills and the flowing water with the delicacy and precision of an Oriental painting, capturing in that midpoint the ambiguous emotional essence of the colonial experience. The Painted Veil (PG-13), directed by John Curran, is now playing at Little Theatres and Pittsford Cinema.	<urn:uuid:f869d4f9-49e2-41c5-8105-bcb98dfad0d9>	2013-05-21T10:01:09Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.006805419921875, 0.013671875, -0.005767822265625, 0.025390625, 0.08154296875, -0.041748046875, -0.0050048828125, 0.11962890625, -0.023193359375, -0.03515625, 0.06982421875, 0.0029296875, 0.00347900390625, 0.034912109375, 0.0322265625, 0.00051498413...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.946576	906	http://www.rochestercitynewspaper.com/rochester/the-painted-veil/Content?oid=2133822	0.341447
The Arch Rivalry was back at the center of attention again on August 30, 2008. Missouri once again jumped out to a big lead and held off an Illinois comeback to start the season 1-0 in a 52-42 win. This marks the first time since 1978 that Missouri has started the season by defeating a ranked opponent. Make sure you're watching it in High Definition. A mere seven words short that time.	<urn:uuid:753fb4b1-2282-480c-9ef1-df785cf73849>	2013-05-21T10:14:02Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.015625, 0.003262362675741315, 0.003026270540431142, -0.0002629206865094602, 0.019574176520109177, -0.00858516525477171, -0.012190934270620346, 0.08310439437627792, -0.01485233474522829, -0.050137363374233246, -0.019488323479890823, 0.04773351550102234, -0.0381...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.976421	86	http://www.rockmnation.com/2008/8/31/605146/mizzou-vs-illinois-highlig	0.633854

Costello emerged from the London punk explosion of 1977 as the resident singer-songwriter, using his smart mouth to turn sexual and political troubles into musical outrage. Elvis has gone through many changes since then, often coasting on mere craft, or the memory of it. But his key to greatness has always been his passion—his "Let It Bleed" means more than his "Lush Life." A wit, a blackguard, a moralist, a poet, a bitch, a Celtic folk ranter, a grinning pop tunesmith, a radio sweetheart with a sullen punk stare, he's a true original whether he's rocking on out or just trying to look Italian to the musical Valium. Costello made a big splash right off with My Aim Is True, an attack on pop romance in all its guises, with the kind of venom that could only come from a true believer in spite of himself. With backup from a fluffy California bar band, Costello sneers about sex ("Watching the Detectives"), politics ("Less Than Zero"), and religion (the bad-Catholic-boy classic "Waiting for the End of the World")—although the one he'll be stuck singing for the rest of his life is the reluctant love ballad, "Alison." Elvis really found his voice when he got the Attractions together, souping up the music into the Stones/Nuggets garage-band racket of every teenage rock geek's dreams, with Steve Nieve's nagging headache of an organ standing in for the brutal guitar Costello couldn't play. This Year's Model is the peak of the angry young Elvis, channeling the rage into the furious hooks of "Lip Service," "Lipstick Vogue," and "No Action." Armed Forces soon followed—too soon, probably, since it suffers from a heavy case of road fatigue. The shrill, cluttered keyboards, almost all treble, suit the paranoia of the politically charged lyrics ("She's my self-touch typewriter/And I'm the great dictator"). Get Happy loosens up for a tour de force of 20 tracks imitating Booker T. and the MG's at Ramones velocity, although "Opportunity" and "Riot Act" showed what a supple ballad singer Elvis had become. Trust has always been underrated because there's no real angle—just 14 brilliantly barbed pop tunes about men paying the wages of masculinity and suffering for their sins, with Pete Thomas's punchiest drumming and Steve Nieve's glossiest piano. In great songs such as "Watch Your Step," "New Lace Sleeves," and "You'll Never Be a Man," Elvis finally comes clean about his woman problems, with enough wit to suggest a way out: "Shot With His Own Gun," indeed. Not as epochal as This Year's Model or King of America, Trust still marks Elvis's summit as a singer, songwriter, and miserable-Irish-bastard pin-up boy. Costello spent the next few years stretching out stylistically, starting with the well-chosen, miserably sung country covers of Almost Blue. The Cole Porter homage Imperial Bedroom overdresses some excellent songs ("Beyond Belief," "Man Out of Time") and a few duds ("The Long Honeymoon") with layers of vocal overdubs, strings, horns, harpsichords, guitar solos, and Sgt. Pepper studio gimmicks. Punch the Clock and Goodbye Cruel World imitate Top Forty radio, actually more of a stretch for Elvis than country or Cole Porter, with successes like the anti-Thatcher protest "Shipbuilding" and fab real-world hit "Every Day I Write the Book." By the mid-Eighties, Costello was looking for new tricks: His thunder had been stolen by look-alike Steve Albini, who took the smoldering geek rage of This Year's Model to new sonic heights with Big Black. But Elvis roared back in 1986 with two of his best albums, both clearly influenced by his work producing the Pogues. King of America is where Costello harkens to his folkie roots, busting out the acoustic guitar, hooking up with T-Bone Burnett and an unlikely passel of grizzled session dudes for a masterpiece. King of America gets off to a mighty slow start, but once you hit "Indoor Fireworks" at track six, settle in for one gem after another (okay, not "The Big Light" or "Eisenhower Blues"), from hoarse political rants like "Little Palaces" and "Sleep of the Just" to soulful love ballads like "Jack of All Parades." The Attractions returned for Blood & Chocolate, completing the one-two punch with one of Elvis's loudest, funniest records. Although the songs have the rugged acoustic strum of King of America, the Attractions' ham-fisted garage rock animates the Celt-folk passion of "Tokyo Storm Warning," "Poor Napoleon," and "Crimes of Paris." Best line: "She hit him with that paperweight Eiffel Tower." Since that creative peak, Elvis has kept admirably busy, but with only sporadic moments of interest on his new records. Spike features more all-star cameos (from Paul McCartney to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band), but except for the righteously Thatcher-bashing "Tramp the Dirt Down," it's pretty words and no action, losing vague tunes in grandiose arrangements. The sequel Mighty Like a Rose vanished without a trace. The Juliet Letters is—get this—a classical song cycle about Romeo and Juliet, but it's no "Mystery Dance." Brutal Youth is a lightweight Attractions reunion; All This Useless Beauty offers muted balladry like the poignant "I Want to Vanish." The covers collection Kojak Variety has sharp versions of Mose Allison's "Everybody's Crying Mercy" and Randy Newman's "I've Been Wrong Before"; the deluxe 2004 Rhino reissue adds a must-hear bonus disc with a country version of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" (done as a demo for George Jones) and the Gershwin standard "How Long Has This Been Going On." Kojak Variety was shaping up to be Elvis's best Nineties album until his Burt Bacharach collaboration, Painted From Memory. What could have been a camp joke becomes a magnificently bittersweet career summary for both gentlemen—the heartbreaking "Toledo" is, if anything, too good for Dionne Warwick to sing. (The Sweetest Punch reinterprets these songs with jazz guitarist Bill Frisell.) When I Was Cruel, a belated and gratuitous return to guitar rock, finds Elvis thriving again on his commitment to tricky hooks, funny lyrics, and the head-scratching career moves that will keep his fans on their toes for the rest of his days. Any guy who can write songs such as "Episode of Blonde," "Alibi," and "When I Was Cruel" while pushing 50 is in no danger of burning out. Costello has remained compulsively prolific, to the point where the music seems hasty and distracted on principle—as one songwriter grumbled, "I could put out an album a year too, if I didn't bother to finish any of the songs." But the restless pace is part of the point; by now nobody's ever surprised when Costello shows up with an orchestral ballet score (Il Sogno) or a rock throwaway dedicated to the guy who invented ramen noodles (Momofuku). North is a return to jazz ballads, with Costello sounding a little stiff and dusty. The Delivery Man and Secret Profane & Sugarcane pay homage to Southern roots-rock, with songs both inspired ("Bedlam") and forced ("Scarlet Tide"). My Flame Burns Blue interprets his songbook with a Dutch avant-jazz group, the Metropole Orkest, with an ace New Orleans R&B cover, Dave Bartholomew's "That's How You Got Killed Before"; he expands the New Orleans concept into The River In Reverse, playing sideman to the legendary Allen Touissant. Costello's greatest-hits albums seem redundant, since he puts his heart and soul into his discrete concept albums. Girls Girls Girls is an eccentric compilation annotated by the maestro himself, who's always worth reading (his liner notes to the 1994 reissue of Goodbye Cruel World begin, "Congratulations! You have just purchased our worst album!"). Taking Liberties and Out of Our Idiot collect some of the stray B-sides and outtakes Costello was leaving in his wake; most of these songs appear as bonus tracks on the various CD reissues of the Costello catalogue. Ones to keep an eye out for: "Black Sails in the Sunset," "Hoover Factory," "Talking in the Dark," and his ragged cover of Sam Cooke's "Get Yourself Another Fool." 2 ½ Years is a box with the first three albums; Cruel Smile has outtakes from When I Was Cruel; Costello & Nieve is a five-disc box of intimate 1996 live performances. In the late Nineties, Elvis began a strange new career appearing as himself in movies, such as Spice World, 200 Cigarettes, and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, where he shows up with Burt Bacharach to sing "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." In 2008 he took on a new role as America's favorite musical chat-show host on the TV series "Spectacle"; watching Costello hobnob with the stars, it's clear he's earned that "Beloved Entertainer" plaque to which he's always half-mockingly aspired.

Holistic Massage heals your body and mind Holistic massage is body therapy that improves the entire body. Its name is from the word "holos," which is the Greek word for the word "whole."

Holistic massage is a massage treatment that is customized for your personal needs and addresses your body's unique concerns. How is addressing your body's unique concerns possible in holistic massage? To answer this question, you need to understand how a holistic massage therapist does her work.

She will concentrate on areas of your body that need special attention in order to restore the balance in your body. There are a lot of physical benefits that your body can get from holistic massage. At the very least, you will feel the tension melt away from your tight muscles. As your muscles loosen, you will feel relief from the various aches and pains that you feel in your body.

This will help her pinpoint your problems and create the most suitable massage therapy for you. Also, you should avoid consuming alcohol and drugs 24 hours before and 24 hours after your massage therapy.

Exposition of the Old and New Testament, by John Gill, [1746-63], at sacred-texts.com psa 20:0INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 20 To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. This psalm is thought, by some, to be written by David, on account of himself, and as a form to be used by the people for him, when he was about to go to war; particularly with the Ammonites and Syrians, Sa2 10:6; mention being made of chariots in it, Psa 20:7; of which there was a great number in that war: Arama thinks it was made by him when he got the victory over the Philistines; others think it was written by one of the singers on David's account, and should be rendered, "a psalm, for David", as Psa 72:1, but rather it is a psalm concerning David; concerning the Messiah, whose name is David; or a psalm of David concerning the Messiah, since he is expressly mentioned, Psa 20:6; and Aben Ezra says, there are some that interpret it of the Messiah; and some passages in it are, by Jewish writers (m), applied unto him, as Psa 20:6; and our countryman, Mr. Ainsworth, says, the whole psalm is a prophecy of Christ's sufferings, and his deliverance out of them, for which the church with him triumphs. Theodoret takes it to be a prophecy of Sennacherib's invasion of Judea, and of Rabshakeh's blasphemy, and of Hezekiah's distress and prayer on that account. (m) Shirhashirim Rabba, fol. 18. 1. Tzeror Hammor, fol. 44. 2. psa 20:1The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble,.... All the days of Christ were days of trouble; he was a brother born for adversity; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with griefs; he had his own sorrows, and he bore the griefs of others; he was persecuted by Herod in his infancy; he was tempted by Satan in the wilderness; he was harassed by the Scribes and Pharisees continually; he was grieved at the hardness, impenitence, and unbelief, of that perverse and faithless generation of men, and was sometimes made uneasy by his own disciples: at some particular seasons his soul or spirit is said to be troubled, as at the grave of Lazarus, and when in a view of his own death, and when he was about to acquaint his disciples that one of them should betray him, Joh 11:33; but more particularly it was a day of trouble with him, when he was in the garden, heavy, and sore amazed, and his sweat was, as it were, drops of blood falling on the ground, and his soul was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; but more especially this was his case when he hung upon the cross, and is what seems to be principally respected here; when he was in great torture of body through the rack of the cross; when he endured the cruel mockings of men, of the common people, of the chief priests, and even of the thieves that suffered with him; when he had Satan, and all his principalities and powers, let loose upon him, and he was grappling with them; when he bore all the sins of his people, endured the wrath of his Father, and was forsaken by him: now in this day of trouble, both when in the garden and on the cross, he prayed unto his Father, as he had been used to do in other cases, and at other times; and the church here prays, that God would hear and answer him, as he did: he always heard him; he heard him at the grave of Lazarus; he heard him in the garden, and filled his human soul with courage and intrepidity, of which there were immediate instances; he heard him on the cross, and helped him as man and Mediator, Isa 49:8; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; that is, God himself, who is named the God of Jacob, whom Jacob called upon, and trusted in as his God, and who answered him in the day of his distress: Jacob was exercised with many troubles, but the Lord delivered him out of them all; and which may be the reason why the Lord is addressed under this character here; besides, Israel is one of the names of the Messiah, Isa 49:3; on whose account the petition is put to which may be added, that Jacob may design people of God, the spiritual sons of Jacob, the church of the living God, whose God the Lord is; and the phrase may be here used by the church, to encourage her faith in prayer: the petition, on account of the Messiah, is, that God would "defend" him, or "set" him on "an high place" (n); or "exalt" him: he was brought very low in his state of humiliation; he was in the form of a servant; he was in a very low and mean condition throughout the whole of his life; through the suffering of death he was made lower than the angels, and he was laid in the lower parts of the earth: the church, in this petition, prays for his resurrection from the dead; for his ascension into the highest heavens; for his exaltation at the right hand of God; for the more visible setting him on his throne in his kingdom; in all which she has been answered. (n) "elevet te", Pagninus, Montanus; "exaltet te", Vatablus, Museulus, Michaelis; "in edito collocet te", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; so Ainsworth. psa 20:2Send thee help from the sanctuary,.... Meaning either from the tabernacle, the holy place, where was the ark, the symbol of the divine Presence; or rather heaven, the habitation of God's holiness unless the same is meant by it as by Zion, in the next clause, the church of God, from whence he sends the rod of his strength; and strengthen thee out of Zion; and the "help" and "strength" prayed for are not to be understood of that assistance and support, which Christ, as man, had from his Father, at the time of his sufferings, which were promised him, and he believed he should have, and had, Psa 89:21; since these petitions follow that which relates to his exaltation; but of the help and strength afforded to the apostles and ministers of Christ, after they had received the commission from him to preach the Gospel to every creature; when, as a full answer to these petitions, God worked with them, greatly assisted them, strengthened them with strength in their souls; confirmed the word with signs and wonders following; made it the power of God to salvation to multitudes; and so strengthened the cause, interest, and kingdom of the Redeemer. psa 20:3Remember all thy offerings,.... The spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise which Christ, as the great High Priest, offers up for his people; or which they offer by him, and are acceptable to God through him, by virtue of the incense of his mediation; or the offering up of himself, which answers to, and is the body, the sum and substance, of all the offerings of the law; they were types of this, and what they could not do this did; and therefore it is expressed in the singular number in the next clause; and accept thy burnt sacrifice. The word rendered "accept" signifies to "reduce to ashes" (o); and the way in which it was known that sacrifices were acceptable to God was by fire coming down from heaven upon them and consuming them, Lev 9:24; and therefore the word is rightly rendered "accept"; and Christ's sacrifice of himself, putting away sin, and perfecting for ever them that are sanctified, is of a sweet smelling savour to God; for hereby his justice is satisfied, his law is magnified and made honourable, the sins of his people are atoned for, their persons are accepted, and their sacrifices of prayer and praise come up also with acceptance to him through the virtue of this sacrifice; and so these petitions have their accomplishment. Selah; on this word; see Gill on Psa 3:2. (o) "incineret", Pagninus, Montanus, Cocceius; "in cinerem vertat", Vatablus; so Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Gejerus, Ainsworth. psa 20:4Grant thee according to thine own heart,.... Which is to see his seed, the travail of his soul, and to have the pleasure of the Lord prosper in his hand; to have all his people called, preserved, and glorified; and fulfil all thy counsel; whatever was agreed upon in the council and covenant of peace between him and his Father, relating to his own glory, and the salvation of his people. psa 20:5We will rejoice in thy salvation,.... That is, "so will we", &c. or "that we may" (p), &c. or "let us"; these words, with what follow, point at the end of the church's requests, and what she resolved to do upon the accomplishment of the above things; for instance, she would rejoice in the salvation of the Messiah; meaning either the salvation and deliverance from death and the grave, and all other enemies, which he himself is possessed of, and which enters into, and is the occasion of the joy of his people; for not his sufferings and death only, but chiefly his resurrection from the dead, session at God's right hand, and intercession for them, cause the triumph of faith in him, and further the joy of it, Rom 8:33; or else the salvation he is the author of, which being so great, so suitable, so complete and perfect, and an everlasting one; is matter of joy to all sensible of their need of it, and who have a comfortable hope of interest in it; and in the name of our God we will set up our banners; either as a preparation for war; see Jer 51:27; so when Caesar (q) set up his banner, it was a sign to his soldiers to run to their arms and prepare to fight; and then the sense is, putting our trust in the Lord, relying on his strength, and not on our own, we will cheerfully and courageously engage with all his and our enemies, sin, Satan, and the world; as good soldiers of Christ, we will endure hardness, fight his battles under the banners of the Lord of hosts, in whose service we are enlisted; or as a sign of victory, when standards were set up, and flags hung out (r); see Jer 50:2; and then the meaning is, Christ, the great Captain of our salvation, having obtained a complete victory over all enemies, and made us more than conquerors thereby, we will set up our banners, hang out the flag, and in his name triumph over sin, Satan, the world, death, and hell; the Lord fulfil all thy petitions: the same as in Psa 20:4; this is put here to show that the church will be in such a frame as before described, when the Lord shall have fulfilled all the petitions of his Anointed; of which she had a full assurance, as appears from the following words. (p) So Ainsworth; "ovemus", Vatablus, Piscator, Michaelis; "cantemus", Gejerus. (q) De Bello Gallico, l. 2. c. 20. (r) Schindler. Pentaglott. col. 1126. psa 20:6Now know I that the Lord saveth his Anointed,.... Not David, though he was the anointed of the God of Jacob, and was anointed with material oil to be king of Israel by Samuel, at the express order of God himself; but David is not here speaking of himself, nor the church of him, but of the Messiah; anointed by Jehovah king over his holy hill of Zion, with the oil of gladness, or the Holy Spirit. The church in prayer rises in her faith, and is strongly assured of the salvation of the Messiah; that though his troubles would be many and great, he should be delivered out of them all; should be heard and helped in the day of salvation, and be freed from the sorrows of death and hell, he should be encompassed with; that he should be raised from the dead; have all power in heaven and earth given him; ascend on high, and triumph over all his enemies; and all his people, all the members of his body, should be saved through him, which is in a sense the salvation of himself; he will hear him from his holy heaven; where his throne and temple are, which is the habitation of his holiness, whither the prayers of the Messiah when on earth ascended, where they were received, heard, and answered. Before the church prays that he might be heard, now she believes he would; and that, with the saving strength of his right hand; that is, by the exertion of his mighty power, in strengthening him as man to bear up under his sorrows, go through his work, and finish it; by upholding him with his right hand while engaged in it, and by raising him up from the dead with it, and setting him down at it in the highest heavens. psa 20:7Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,.... That is, in chariots and horses prepared for war; which, besides their use for carriage, did great annoyance to the enemy in battle, and were very terrible to them, and were greatly trusted in by those that possessed them, Deu 20:1; such chariots as were called "currus falcati", that had scythes at the sides of them, which being drove with fury among the infantry, cut them down as grass is mown with scythes; such the old Canaanites used, which were very terrible, Jos 17:16; and horses trained up for war do much execution in a battle by pawing and trampling; see Job 39:21; though these are vain things for safety, and not to be depended on, for salvation and victory are of the Lord, Psa 33:17; and such are the chariots and horses of the sun, and the idols in which the Gentiles trusted, Kg2 23:11; and all external things in which men depend for salvation, as fleshly privileges, outward works of righteousness, morality, a profession of religion, a round of duties, &c. all which are disclaimed by those who know the way of life and salvation by Christ, Hos 14:3; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God; not any of the names by which the Lord God is called, as Elohim, Elshaddai, Jehovah, and the like; though each of these are worthy of remembrance, and greatly serve to encourage faith in him; but rather the perfections of God, such as the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, which are to be remembered and confided in; and not the friendship of princes, the schemes of human policy, and the outward forces of strength; or else God himself is intended, whose name is himself, and is a strong tower to the righteous: and to remember him is to bear him in mind, and not forget him; to have the desires of the soul towards him, and to the remembrance of him; and to make mention of him, of his names, attributes, word, and works; which is both for his glory and for the encouragement of faith in him, both in ourselves and others; it is to call upon his name in times of trouble, and at all times, and also to trust in him and not in an arm of flesh; for it stands opposed to trusting in chariots and horses; and it is to call to mind past instances of his goodness, wisdom, and power, and be thankful for them, and make use of them to engage confidence in him; and which should be done from the consideration of his being God and not man, and of his being our God, our covenant God and Father. psa 20:8They are brought down and fallen,.... These are they that rode in chariots and on horses, and trusted in them; who are brought down from their places of honour and safety; and fall, not into the hands of their enemies, and into a low and mean estate, but to the ground by death; as also such who, being like Capernaum, lifted up to heaven with their own outward attainments, and think to get thither by them, are brought down to hell, and fall into the pit of corruption; but we are risen, and stand upright; who remember the name of the Lord, and trust in him; the church is sometimes in a very low and depressed condition; it consists of a poor and an afflicted people, and who are persecuted by men; so the church has been under the Heathen Roman emperors, and under the Papacy, and will be as long as she is in the wilderness, and the witnesses prophesy in sackcloth; and especially when they will be slain, and their bodies lie on the earth unburied; but these shall rise and stand upright, and ascend to heaven; there will be a glorious state of the church; there will be a reviving of the interest of Christ, through the bringing in the fulness and forces of the Gentiles, and the conversion of the Jews; the dry bones will live again, and stand upon their feet, an exceeding great army; in those days the righteous will flourish and have abundance of peace and prosperity. This may also include the first resurrection, which the saints will have a part in; the dead in Christ will rise first, and will stand before the Lord with confidence, and not be ashamed; when the ungodly shall not stand in judgment, nor sinners in, the congregation of the righteous; for though these words are expressed in the present tense, because of the certainty of them, they belong to future times; hence the following petitions. psa 20:9Save, Lord,.... Not "the king", as the Septuagint, Ethiopic, and Arabic versions read the words, joining the word "king" to them, which is in the next clause; but this, as Aben Ezra observes, is not right, because of the accent "athnach", which divides these words from the following; rather the word us may be supplied; and so the Syriac version renders it, "the Lord will deliver us"; and the Targum is, "O Lord", , "redeem us", or "save us"; that is, with a temporal, spiritual, and eternal salvation: this petition is directed to Jehovah the Father, as the following is to the King Messiah; let the King hear us when we call; for not God the Father is here meant, though he is an everlasting King, the King of kings; and who hears his people, when they call upon him, and while they are calling; yet he is rarely, if ever, called "the King", without any other additional epithet; whereas the Messiah often is, as in the next psalm, Psa 20:1; and prayer is made to him, and he hears and receives the prayers of his people; and, as Mediator, presents them to his Father perfumed with his much incense; for he is a Priest as well as a King.	<urn:uuid:a13914e9-bb5a-4b54-aacb-8eebb49027fa>	2013-05-21T10:07:18Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ 0.001983642578125, -0.0084228515625, -0.0283203125, -0.015380859375, 0.1171875, -0.0458984375, -0.0172119140625, 0.083984375, -0.0125732421875, -0.0654296875, 0.051025390625, -0.00244140625, 0.03564453125, -0.00799560546875, 0.04296875, 0.00970458984...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.985363	4,182	http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/cmt/gill/psa020.htm	0.381624

The Wisdom of Israel, by Edwin Collins, , at sacred-texts.com R. Joshua, the Cohen, * son of Nehemiah, says: At the time when the Holy One, blessed be He, revealed Himself to Moses, it was only by the tyrannic compulsion of the spirit of prophecy that Moses became a prophet. † The Holy One said: "If I reveal Myself to him in a great and mighty voice, I shall cause him to tremble; if with a soft voice, he will doubt whether he has heard anything, and treat the prophecy with contempt." Therefore God revealed Himself to Moses in his father's voice. And Moses said: "Here I am, father, what does my father want?" Then said the Holy One: "I am not thy father, but the God of thy father." 55:* Cohen, priest—descendant of Aaron. 55:† i.e., Moses was a meek man, timid and retiring by nature, and did not seek the honour of being a leader of men or a prophet.	<urn:uuid:b2e7249c-c87e-476e-8d5f-7b5d9787f502>	2013-05-21T10:07:37Z	CC-MAIN-2013-20	[ [ -0.016826923936605453, -0.02201417088508606, -0.02732793614268303, 0.005693319719284773, 0.11791498214006424, -0.02100202441215515, -0.022140687331557274, 0.0708502009510994, -0.004744433332234621, -0.040991902351379395, 0.05212550610303879, -0.010374493896961212, ...	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368699881956/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102441-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz	en	0.966075	222	http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/wois/wois36.htm	0.660791
