What a dead thing is a clock, with its ponderous embowelments of lead and brass, its pert or solemn dullness of communication, compared with the simple altar-like structure and silent heart-language of the old sundials! It stood as the garden god of Christian gardens. Why is it almost everywhere vanished? If its business-use be superseded by more elaborate inventions, its moral uses, its beauty, might have pleaded for its continuance. It spoke of moderate labours, of pleasures not protracted after sunset, of temperance, and good hours. It was the primitive clock, the horologue of the first world. Adam could scare have missed it in Paradise.

A garden is an awful responsibility. You never know what you may be aiding to grow in it.
Charles Dudley Warner (1829 - 1900)
Hoeing in the garden on a bright, soft May day, when you are not obligated to, is nearly equal to the delight of going trouting.
The man who has planted a garden feels that he has done something for the good of the world.
The principal value of a garden is not understood. It is not to give the possessors vegetables and fruit (that can be better and cheaper done by the market-gardeners), but to teach him patience and philosophy, and the higher virtues - hope deferred, and expectations blighted, leading directly to resignation, and sometimes to alienation.
There is a great pleasure in working in the soil, apart from the ownership of it. The man who has planted a garden feels that he has done something for the good of the world.
The toad has indeed no superior as a destroyer of noxious insects, and he possesses no bad habits and is entirely inoffensive himself, every owner of a garden should treat him with utmost hospitality.

When in the fresh mornings I go into my garden before anyone is awake, I go for the time being into perfect happiness.
God in his wisdom created these places And made them accessible to those of all races Rare visions of beauty, and fragrant perfume Distributed freely for all to consume. While Enjoying Nature, confessions and pardons Sincerely flow forth, as love grows in God's Gardens

People are turning to their gardens not to consume but to actively create, not to escape from reality but to observe it closely. In doing this they experience the connectedness of creation and the profoundest sources of being. That the world we live in and the activity of making it are one seamless whole is something that we may occasionally glimpse. In the garden, we know.

Prues request new lawyersMay 11,2013
ST. JOHNSBURY — A Vermont couple charged in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher last year want new lawyers.
Allen and Patricia Prue have been charged in the death of 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins in March 2012. They are accused of luring Jenkins from her Danville home, beating and strangling her and dumping her body in the Connecticut River. They have pleaded not guilty.
The Prues will be tried separately and have different lawyers.
Patricia Prue has asked the state for a new court-appointed attorney to replace Marc Eagle, of Lamoille. Eagle filed a motion to withdraw as her attorney, citing "ethical and professional" reasons.
Allen Prue also has asked for a new lawyer.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

Hi, I've got some trouble updating the php files in my themes folder.
I've tried editing directly using command line vi over ssh, and saved the file, though when I view the page, nothing has changed. I've also tried to use the built in theme editor as an alternative, which displays to me the old version of the file, and claims it's not writable (even though I've checked the file ownership and permissions 777 just for testing). I'm assuming that the theme editor displaying and old version and the actual web page not updating are related, but I've been unsuccessful in my attempts to figure out what is causing it.

Groundbreaking Energy Efficiency Bill Introduced With Bi-Partisan Support, Ignored by Mainstream Media
When mortgage lenders consider whether or not to give a homeowner a loan, they look at a variety of factors like income, value of personal assets, taxes and property value. (At least, they do now after poor lending standards helped create the financial crisis.)
But underwriters are still completely ignoring another very important factor in valuing a mortgage: energy costs.
With the average homeowner spending around $2,000 on energy costs — more than on real estate taxes or home insurance, according to the Institute for Market Transformation — properly accounting for energy use can give American consumers a better picture of how much they're using. That, in turn, can help homeowners make better choices about what kind of home to buy, and help them determine if they need an efficiency upgrade.
A new bill introduced in the Senate yesterday by a bi-partisan pair of Senators — Georgia Republican Johnny Isakson and Colorado Democrat Michael Bennet — will require mortgage providers to factor energy costs into mortgages. Called the SAVE Act (Sensible Accounting to Value Energy), the law would instruct the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop new guidelines for appraisal that include energy.
In addition to receiving accurate information that will help them with a purchasing decision, the SAVE Act would allow homeowners to finance energy efficiency retrofits through their mortgages.
The economic impact of the SAVE program could be huge. According to an analysis put together by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy and the Institute for Market Transformation, these simple guideline changes could help create around 83,000 net jobs and over $1 billion in energy savings over the next decade. All with no cost to the taxpayer.
Along with support from a bi-partisan team of Senators, the program is backed by dozens of leading real estate companies, business representatives and energy organizations — including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
"This is a welcome opportunity for bi-partisanship. We see a very broad coalition of supporters because it simply makes sense and could open up a lot of economic activity," said Cliff Majersik, executive director of the Institute for Market Transformation in an interview with Climate Progress.
In a joint statement issued by Senators Isakson and Bennet, the two explained why they're co-sponsoring the bill:
"It is rare to have such diverse interests come together, and that's because this is a common-sense bill," said Bennet. "The Save Act would help provide access to useful information about energy usage that home owners, buyers, appraisers and underwriters want and need. It would lead to more complete and accurate mortgage underwriting, would encourage investments in home energy improvements, create more than 80,000 jobs and lighten the load for Colorado families' budgets."
"As someone who has 30 years of experience in the resident real estate industry and who has lived through multiple recessions, I understand that recovery in the housing market and job creation in the construction sector is pivotal to getting our economy back on track," said Isakson. "I place my support behind this bill because it has the potential to create jobs without any cost to taxpayers, and it will also improve mortgage underwriting in this country by including energy as a factor in the process."
It's nice to see such a broad coalition support a common-sense program like SAVE. But no mainstream publications have picked it up the news, or bothered to write on the program. Alas, this good piece of news seems to have slipped under the radar as media outlets continue to hammer away at Solyndra.

I used an inexpensive Black and Decker leak finder, and foam sealant to seal any leaks I found. Some of the leaks had a temperature difference of 10 degrees. So you know I was losing money through them right up until they were sealed.
I have a dehumidifier that takes water out of the air inside my house. With less humidity in the air your AC/heat will not have to work as hard to control your house's temperature.
This good-practices coalition will be well-supported going forward by the coalition for energy awareness & saving put together by Opower. The Opower website is worth studying for the coalition of contemporary forces Opower has aligned:
Our purpose is to engage the millions of people who are in the dark about their energy use. We partnered with our first utility client in 2007 from a rented desk in San Francisco. Since then, we've grown into a well-capitalized business with more than 200 employees serving nearly 60 utilities—-including 8 of the US's 10 largest. Our product platform now reaches more than 10 million homes in North America. Together with our clients and their customers, we're saving energy, saving money, and helping reduce global carbon emissions.
ARLINGTON, Va., PALO ALTO, Calif., and WASHINGTON, D.C. – Oct. 17, 2011 –Facebook, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and Opower today announced a first-of-its-kind partnership to use the power of social networking to raise consumer awareness about energy consumption through a joint development of a new social energy application …
…According to NRDC, improvements in energy efficiency have the potential to deliver more than $700 billion in cost savings in the U.S. alone. Motivating consumers to take action—something that has traditionally been a challenge—is the key to unlocking this potential. Studies have shown that the average U.S. consumer spends about six minutes per year thinking about their energy. The joint effort is designed to change that by harnessing the power of social networking to supercharge consumer engagement with energy efficiency.
Leveraging the Platform Opportunity
With 750 million people around the world using Facebook, we believe we have a unique opportunity to empower and inspire people to use our platform to promote environmental education and stewardship. There are thousands of environmental organizations around the world using Facebook every day, and we work with some of them to create programs and initiatives that, by utilizing our platform tools, allow people to share their passion for the environment. We believe that sharing on Facebook is powerful and can lead to real world action and meaningful, positive change.
I'll just note on the side that the infrared image of a house, widely reprinted as an example of a heat loss image – thus illustrating energy efficiency issues – is not one. It crops up everywhere, though!
This is an incredibly important initiative. Please write your Senators and encourage them to support this bill.
Well don't leave us hanging… what is it a picture of?

7.1, HDMI 1.3 and 3D speaker configurations could potentially improve game audio beyond the scope of 5.1 cinema surround, but there are practical issues including ergonomics, compatibility and the lack of standard layouts. The paper explores possibilities and trade-offs and outlines a basis for standardisation. It seeks to justify the need for collaboration across the game and audio industry so that consumers benefit, rather than just get more confused. While there are still details that need to be agreed, the paper illustrates an set of approaches that give high quality 3D with equipment that is fast becoming the new consumer standard, while remaining closely compatible with existing CD and DVD mixes.

schumi the greatest ever
schumacher had alot of luck in races not to mention the best car and a team mate as a slave,most of his overtaking was in the pit lane and not on track the guy has cheated and crashed his way into the record books and it is disgusting to consider him better than senna,piquet,fangio,ascari,prost,mansell,rosberg,andretti, and lauda.
even with 7 championships the results dont tell the truth as he was never a gentleman driver as many of the others above were and still are as they drove with morals and would never consider parking there car on the track at monaco.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

He's a winner!! The type of drivers you describe, are called LOOSERS!! Senna was another great and he didn't mess about with gentelman's conduct!! This is F1 racing mate, not classical music!
You do not win 7 world title without being something very different from the rest and without talent, dedication and grit.
Look at him at 37, he dismounts after a gruelling race and he's as fresh as a daisy, look at his much younger rivals, exausted, unfit and obviously not as dedicated as they should be, that's why he's won as much as he has and will remain the bench mark for all future F1 drivers.
He wasn't interested in being extrovert, loud or popular! He was in it for winning and winning he did.
People like you make me laugh, the car was superior, he bullied his team mates, what a load of #$%$!
With Benneton he won two world titles with a much inferior car than Williams, he won a GP with the car stuck in 5th gear for half of the race, he started 16th and cut through the field to win, with Ferrari he took the helm of a car that was like a tractor for two years and he stil managed to win races, in 1999 he injured himself at Silverstone and what did his team mate do? Sod all, because like all other, he wasn't a Shumacher, just a good driver.
Green with envy, that's what you and loads of other incompetents are!!

utter mince all thes drivers are losers ??? i take it you are just a biased fan.
remember racing was harder in the 1980's with a thing called ground effect and trying to restle a car than handles like a tractor to the finish(no traction control or automatic gears then)and no namby pamby rules.
he has raced against a lot of average drivers to become 7 times champ.
take your head out of the sand and look back at some of the great names in the sport who never cheated to get there name in the history books.
you have no respect for other drivers do you just the one and that isn't a true f1 fan just a shallow minded sado !

CINCINNATI (AP) — The father of a Florida congressman taking leave for substance abuse treatment says there is a family history of addictive behavior.
Henry "Skip" Radel says Rep. Henry "Trey" Radel called him in tears after his Oct. 29 arrest for buying cocaine in a Washington neighborhood. The elder Radel tells The Cincinnati Enquirer that the Republican congressman hasn't been back to his native Cincinnati in some 18 months, but calls him every week.
Trey Radel on Wednesday announced he was taking a leave of absence from Congress to seek treatment for substance abuse. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor cocaine possession charge.
The elder Radel says Trey's mother Kathy had alcohol issues. He says she choked to death at her son's Dec. 31, 2009, wedding reception in Fort Myers, Fla.
I don't care what party he belongs to THROW THE DRUGGIE OUT now. It 's bad enough that we have a leader who liked using drugs when he was younger
yeah, I suspect the usual righties that dominate here might not find this their favorite story of the day, but never underestimate their ability to avoid taking the inconvenient facts here head on and instead change the subject and spin it into something else...they are magical there

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
Although a loser in the voice over department, the all-out, hard coming, anything-goes action will attract an audience for this video.
This one calls itself a full-length feature, and it loosely addresses the story of Salome; but in all truth, it was, apparently, shot live on stage in Italy in front of an audience of thousands (which accounts for the cast of 3000).
The stage show has plenty of all-out banging sex from start to finish, with lots of hard anal action and big tits and good cock shots. John the Baptist is chained for all to see, and tempted and teased by all the pretty guard- boys and -girls, who rub up against each other in front of poor John. But the real fun comes at the after-party, when a blond partygoer fucks her own cunt and ass, first with her own hand, and then with any microphone, soda-pop bottle, peeled banana or man she can get ahold of. Those italians really know how to throw a party!

Canon EOS 600D takes up flagship DSLR mantle
It's been rumoured for a while across photography blogs and forums, and now it's the real deal - yep, that's right, the Canon EOS 600D is now officially alive and kicking.
Canon states that the 600D sits at the top of its entry-level EOS line-up, and is the natural successor to a Pocket-lint favourite - the 550D.
It packs an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor, has scene intelligent auto mode, has 3.7fps continuous shooting, and a wide-area 9-point AF
It can shoot 1080p Full HD movies, and you can also shoot distant subjects using the new "Movie Digital Zoom" function, "which crops the centre of the sensor from 3x to 10x while still maintaining Full HD quality".
And, perhaps, it's biggest upgrade from the 550D is that you can watch back the action on the 1,040k-dot vari-angle 3-inch screen, which flips out from the main body and swivels.
The 600D will be available as body only (£679), or with an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens (£769) or 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens (£949) from April 2011.
EOS 600D – key features:
- 18-megapixel CMOS sensor
- Scene Intelligent Auto mode
- Full-HD EOS Movie
- On-screen Feature Guide
- 3.7fps continuous shooting
- Wide-area 9-point AF
- 1,040k-dot vari-angle 7.7cm (3.0") screen
- Basic+ and Creative Filters
- Built-in wireless flash control
Two new Speedlight flashguns will be available from March too, the 320EX and 270EX with guide numbers of 32 and 27 respectively. They both utilise the camera's E-TTL II system, with the 320 also offering a constant video light function.
The 320EX will be £249, while the 270EX will come in at £179.

Pat "P.O." Martin, 91, of Post, Texas, was called home to be with his Heavenly Father on Dec. 1, 2011, surrounded by his loving family. Pat was born Nov. 26, 1920, to Pearl Gee and John Edward Martin in Emory, Texas. He was one of 10 children who grew up in and around Snyder, Texas. Pat was raised in a large, loving family that would later leave a strong legacy behind. As a young man, he served in the U.S. Navy as a Ship's Cook 3rd Class on the USS Midway. After serving his country in World War II, he was honorably discharged in 1945. Pat later met and married the love of his life, Mary Frances Jamison, Dec. 2, 1947, in Union, Texas. They had three children and raised their family in Post, Texas. He spent most of his working years in the oil fields. Pat worked for Earl Chapman Oil Company and Rocker A. Well Service; he later retired in 1985.
After his retirement, Pat spent his days enjoying time his wife, kids and grandkids. He enjoyed traveling with family, cooking and baking with his wife, and caring for family, friends and neighbors. Pat never met a stranger and always went out of his way to spread happiness, caring and laughter to everyone he met. He lost his son, Kenneth, suddenly in 1995, and later his wife, Mary, passed away in 1999. Pat would spend the next several years traveling to Austin, Texas, to spend time with his daughter, Patricia, before she passed away in 2008.
Pat was an example of a strong family man who cared deeply for those he loved. He always found something to keep him busy and stayed on the go in his white Ford F-150 pick-up truck until the last year of his life. Pat became known as the "produce man" as he peddled produce and worked in the Farmer's Market at Slide Road and 98th in Lubbock, Texas. Pat liked to brighten everyone's day with a watermelon and a smile. He was diagnosed with advanced stage lung cancer in August 2011 and fought hard until the Lord called him home. Even in the last months of his illness, Pat had a smile on his face and laughter in his heart. He continued to show his strength and resolve until his very last breath. Words cannot express how much Pat will be missed.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents; nine brothers and sisters; his wife, Mary Martin; his son, Kenneth Martin; and his daughter, Patricia Martin Rountree.
He is survived by a daughter, Mary Elizabeth Schuster of Oklahoma City, Okla; three grandsons, Lee Schuster and his wife Elisa of Wylie, Texas, Mike Martin and his wife Angie of Lubbock, Texas, and Doug Martin and his wife Melissa of Crowley, Texas; a granddaughter, Michelle Raley of Austin, Texas; 10 great-grandchildren, Allison Germany, Alexis and Aiden Martin of Lubbock, Texas, Madie, Gage and Lucas Martin of Crowley, Texas, Ashlyn Raley of Austin, Texas, Derek Schuster of San Diego, Calif., and Eric and Ema Schuster of Wylie, Texas; a great-great granddaughter, Avery Howard of Lubbock, Texas; and a second great-great grandbaby due to arrive May 2012.
The family wishes to thank the staff of The Plaza Skilled Nursing Facility and Accolade Hospice in Lubbock, Texas, for their loving support and care provided to Pat and the family the last months.
Services will be 11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 5, 2011, in the Graham Chapel Methodist Church with Kate Hutson, Accolade Hospice Chaplin officiating. Military rites will be at 3:30 p.m. Monday in Resthaven Memorial Park in Lubbock. Arrangements are under the personal care of Dee and Janet Justice, Justice-Mason Funeral Home, Post. The family will receive friends today (Sunday) at the funeral home from 5 to 6 p.m.
Pallbearers will be Jerry Hayes, Scott McAllister, Ted Tatum, Chris Baker and Bennie Ussery.

Seven Easy PiecesPosted by Paul Muller in CD Review, minimalism, Uncategorized, tags: Marija Ilic, Michael Vincent Waller, New York

Seven Easy Pieces
Seven Easy Pieces is the second EP of solo piano music this year from Michael Vincent Waller, released December 2, 2014. Marija Ilic performs this suite of miniatures as recorded by Lawrence de Martin at the Spectrum Studio in New York, NY.
Track 1 is Miniatures (2014) – III. Return from The Fork and this begins with a series of simple repeating phrases that continue with slight variations over a descending bass line. This breaks into an appealingly complex melody and the contrast with the descending chords gives an open, expansive feel. The playing here is accurate and with a sensitive touch.
Miniatures – II. Vocalise follows and this features a quick, syncopated melody over strong descending chords in the lower register. There is a sense of purposeful activity here, almost dance-like and with a pleasing pace and rhythm.
Miniatures – I. Golden Fourths is next and has a rapid, agile melody line played over a solid, repeating bass chord progression. Nicely ornamented in spots – all crisply rendered – this miniature has an almost Baroque feel.
Track 4 is Miniatures – IV. Couplet and this is in a slower tempo with a more dramatic feel. A nice counterpoint develops that accentuates the darker atmosphere. Nicely complex and developed in last minute with a flowing, liquid feel.
Miniatures – V. Drops of Light follows and begins with single notes in the higher registers, echoed by a single note in low or middle. Now a descending bass line highlights a series of luminescent notes in melody. 'Drops of Light' exactly captures the feel of this piece and the playing by Marija Ilic was equally radiant.
Miniatures – VI. Requests is on track 6 and at 40 seconds is the shortest of the miniatures. Requests is a series of light arpeggios that have the feeling a harp glissando. There is a sense of brightness and space to this.
Miniatures – VII. Octagonal Etude is the concluding miniature and opens with a series of strong single notes followed by short silences that allow the harmonics to rise and mix in unsettling combinations. The dissonances present provide a sense of uncertainty in this last piece.
Seven Easy Pieces is the natural follow-on to Five Easy Pieces released earlier this year. This latest release has a somewhat more cohesive feel than its predecessor and manages to owe more to traditional forms while at the same time sounding entirely contemporary. Seven Easy Pieces is another step by Michael Vincent Waller towards new music informed by historical methods.
The mastering was by Cory Allen at Altered Ear, Austin, Texas and the cover art is Untitled, (2014) by Peter Geerts.
Seven Easy Pieces is available for download here.

Japan Reassures, Others Flee
The U.S. government, signaling distrust of reports from Japan about the nuclear crisis there, moved Thursday to evacuate U.S. citizens and set up its own channels of information—a step echoed by some American companies that laid plans to trim their operations in the stricken country.
In the latest sign of international skepticism about progress at Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility, the U.S. embassy in Tokyo said Thursday that the government would arrange to fly U.S. citizens out of Japan to safe havens elsewhere in Asia, using military aircraft if necessary. The U.S. also moved aggressively to assert control over information about the scope of the nuclear disaster by flying a military drone aircraft and a U2 spy plane over the plant to get a first-hand assessment of the damage.
As dawn broke Friday, a week after a massive earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan, live television showed white steam billowing from several of the severely damaged nuclear reactors at the crippled nuclear plant, suggesting water continues to evaporate from a dangerously overheating pool used to store spent nuclear fuel.
Cooling operations resumed at the nuclear plant midmorning Friday, with water cannons and fire truck hoses trained on Reactor No. 3, which is thought to present the greatest immediate risk.
The Defense Ministry said no water would be dropped from helicopters Friday.
Earlier in the day, reconnecting power to the reactors was the main focus of work to stabilize the situation. Restoring electricity to the reactor's cooling systems could represent the major breakthrough needed for bringing the crisis at the plant under control. But a nuclear safety agency official said Reactors No. 1 and No. 2 would be reconnected first, within the day, while Reactor No. 3 would not get power until as late as Sunday.
Japan's top government official reiterated that cooling Reactor No. 3 remained the main priority, since it is believed that spent fuel in a tank at the reactor is exposed, presenting a high radiation risk.
One possible problem with work to restore power to the reactors is the danger of contact with water while handling power equipment.
On Thursday, Walt Disney Co. said it had "temporarily suspended all its administrative and store operations in Tokyo" to allow its employees to deal with the effects of the earthquake and tsunami. "Our top priority is the wellbeing of our employees and their families," Disney said in a written statement.
Medical-device maker Medtronic Inc. of Minneapolis said it is paying for air transportation for foreign nationals hired locally in Japan, as well as their families, to return to their home countries.
And in a sign of the spreading global economic impact, General Motors on Thursday became the first U.S. auto maker to close a U.S. factory because of the crisis in Japan. GM said it plans next week to idle a Shreveport, La., plant that builds small pickup trucks, citing short supplies for an unspecified component that comes from Japan.
New U.S. government statements on Thursday reflected the delicate diplomatic dance required in dealing with an important ally like Japan. "This is something that will likely take some time to work through, possibly weeks," said Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko.

Survivors' Stories
Japan Quake's Effects
Mr. Jaczko on Thursday stood by his statement the previous day that the risks of radiation exposure call for evacuating U.S. citizens from within 50 miles of the stricken plant.
Japanese and French officials had challenged certain details of Mr. Jaczko's Wednesday assertions—in particular his statement that one of the pools used to store spent nuclear fuel had run dry of the water necessary to cool and protect the fuel rods from catching fire.
"The bottom line is that there clearly appears to be a challenge keeping that spent fuel filled with sufficient water," Mr. Jaczko said.
An executive at Tokyo Electric Power Co., or Tepco, said that operations Thursday to douse the Fukushima Daiichi plant with some 100 tons of seawater "were a good first step" in the effort to bring reactors under control. Another company executive said the operations "produced some results."
Much of the water missed its target, however, and the effort was hampered by high radiation levels and technical difficulties. Site personnel also failed to reconnect the plant to the electric grid as they had hoped, an effort that would have allowed workers to restart the cooling pumps within the crippled nuclear reactors—a critical factor in preventing full-scale disaster. The difficulties suggested that bringing down the temperatures of the damaged reactors and the spent-fuel pools could be a long and difficult task.
On Thursday in the U.S., General Electric Co., which designed the stricken plant decades ago, said it had dispatched teams of nuclear experts to a Japanese emergency-response center where they are working with Tepco. Never before has a single operator faced the possibility of multiple reactor meltdowns amid a natural disaster that has made it difficult to get emergency equipment—even such basics as lights so workers can see what they're doing at night—to the site.
Last Friday's tsunami devastated the emergency backup generators at the plant, making it impossible to keep the all-important cooling pumps operating, thus putting nuclear material at risk of meltdown. The crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi complex now threatens three of six nuclear reactors there, and four of seven pools in which nuclear waste is stored.
On March 15, Tepco, requested 10 GE truck-mounted gas turbines, which can offer temporary power. GE says three of 10 ten trucks are ready in Florida and awaiting air transport.
The events in Washington and Japan underscored the confusion around the Fukushima plant and efforts to keep it from spinning into a nuclear catastrophe. As officials at Tepco have sought to calm fears, governments in Germany and China have ordered halts to nuclear-power production and development.
President Barack Obama Thursday put himself out front of the U.S. response, using a short Rose Garden appearance to reassure Americans that "we do not expect harmful levels of radiation to reach the United States, whether it's the West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, or U.S. territories in the Pacific."
Mr. Obama said he has ordered a "comprehensive review" of safety at U.S. nuclear power plants, a step urged by members of Congress.
Concern among U.S. officials about the quality of information coming from the Japanese government has risen dramatically, according to administration officials. In addition to the difficulty getting reliable information from an unfolding calamity, there's U.S. officials are concerned they may not be getting the full picture of what is happening on the ground.
In recent days, U.S. military installations in Japan have detected radiation and have recommended that personnel at Yokosuka and on other bases remain indoors.
Regarding the U.S. evacuation plans announced Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan said that the U.S. government will charter aircraft to airlift U.S. civilians from Japan. U.S. military bases in Korea are now being prepared to receive evacuees from Japan.
The primary means for the current evacuation, Col. Lapan said, would be charter aircraft. "If necessary, U.S. military assets may be used," he added.
The State Department has authorized the voluntary departure of family members and dependents of U.S. government employees stationed in northeast Japan.
The U.S military presence in Japan is substantial, and U.S. Forces Japan, which is headquartered at Yokota Air Base, has a sizable contingent of military families and civilians. The command has approximately 38,000 military personnel, along with 43,000 dependents and 5,000 Pentagon civilian employees.
The State Department also has authorized a voluntary evacuation of around 600 diplomatic family members and dependents stationed in Tokyo, Yokohama and Nagoya.
The U.S. late Thursday began flying U.S. citizens out of Japan from Tokyo's Narita Airport aboard civilian charter aircraft. The move follows a government travel advisory issued Wednesday cautioning all Americans against traveling to Japan.
The U.S. Navy has positioned a sizeable fleet off both the west and east coasts of Japan to aid in the relief efforts. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said the service had 14 ships and more than 10,000 personnel in Japan or off the Japanese coast.
"We're flying our helicopters, and we will soon have almost 70 helicopters in the region or in the area that was affected," he said. "We're moving Japanese first responders, Japanese troops by ship to the affected areas."
Marines of the III Marine Expeditionary Force based on Okinawa have sent a headquarters company up with 500 Marines to close to the earthquake-hit regions of Japan. Mr. Mabus said they would assist in radiological testing, humanitarian assistance and other disaster relief planning.
Ships of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet, including carrier USS Ronald Reagan, are off the east coast of Japan. On the west coast, the Essex amphibious group is stationed with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard.
Capt. Caleb Eames, a spokesman for 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, said the amphibious force was not currently performing civilian rescue missions.
"Of course, we remain available to assist as directed by our higher headquarters, but at this point we are on the west coast of Japan preparing for humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations," he said.

Approaches to Teaching Eliot's Middlemarch
- Editor: Kathleen Blake
- Pages: ix & 187 pp.
- Published: 1990
- ISBN: 9780873525336 (Cloth)
- ISBN: 9780873525343 (Paperback)
"A monument to dozens of teachers' love for their students and for a book they love to teach."
"Middlemarch," writes Kathleen Blake, "is the great Eliot novel, the one to teach, because it has the kind of appeal that can carry students forward toward becoming people who will return to it." Taught to undergraduates in introductory surveys as well as in specialized upper-division courses, Middlemarch presents challenges to both teachers and students—in its length, its rich philosophical and psychological insights, its range of characters, its historical scope, its multiple plots and dense style. The sixteen essays in Approaches to Teaching Eliot's Middlemarch describe imaginative ways experienced teachers have dealt with these challenges to share their love of the novel with their students.
Like other books in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, this volume is divided into two parts. Part 1, "Materials," surveys editions of Middlemarch, background readings on the Victorian period, textual and critical studies, and audiovisual aids. In part 2, "Approaches," contributors describe specific strategies for teaching the novel. Among the topics discussed are critical trends in the classroom (e.g., narrative theory, deconstruction, feminist criticism, reader-response analysis), teachers' responses to student difficulties with the novel, textual and contextual perspectives, and ways instructors overcome curricular and institutional constraints. The volume also offers a chronology of the writing and publication of Middlemarch, a genealogical chart for its large cast of characters, and an extensive bibliography.

I'm sure these words have been uttered before but now they might actually have the gonads to back their words up. Nice going congress… way to stick a big fat bulls eye on the back of the American flag.
"The crisis in Gaza and the genocide of defenseless Palestinians is being carried out with the approval and assistance of world powers." – Iran's Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki (read article here)
This of course comes on heals of the UN Security Council passing a resolution Thursday calling for an "immediate and durable" ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the region. (see article) A vote mind you that the US abstained from voting on. Oh yeah and don't forget that the US Congress passed a resolution the other day, 390 to 5, that said:
"Recognizing Israel's right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza, reaffirming the United States strong support for Israel, and supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Whereas Hamas was founded with the stated goal of destroying the State of Israel;
Whereas Hamas has been designated by the United States as a Foreign Terrorist Organization;"
OK maybe Hamas is a terrorist organization… and maybe Iranian government is filled with extremists… but that's not exactly the point. A peace process only works if you push for peace. Killing large numbers of people only creates martyrs and make their battle cry louder. Why in the world would anyone in our congress vote for backing more war? Haven't we had enough of that? Don't they remember what a few guys with automatic weapons and backpacks full of ammo can do in a public place? Who are these people we elected!!!???
P.S. I searched high and low for more in the media on the story in the Iranian news network and could find almost nothing. I found it as a top story in Google World News. At first I wondered if this story was true and then it occurred to me that it didn't matter if terrorism is our concern. The people Iran wants to hear this message are the terrorists they are trying to rally. Yikes. No wonder the main stream media isn't mentioning it. Is that paranoid? 🙂

"Fraudsters use current affairs to create legitimacy," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, chief executive of Comodo Group, a provider of Web site security certificates in Jersey City, N.J. Credit card fraud is easier now than any other time of year because of the high volume of transactions, experts warn. "The holidays are a great reason to send people e-mail to try to scam them into giving up their information," Abdulhayoglu said.
Internet users, in fact, can expect to see almost twice as many phishing attacks this December compared with last year, said Andrew Klein, manager of the threat center at MailFrontier, an e-mail security company in Palo Alto, Calif. Phishing scams combine spammed e-mail messages and fraudulent Web sites to trick people into giving up sensitive information.
"Holidays are an excellent hook for scams," Klein said. Last year there were 8,829 different phishing campaigns in December, and the number has increased since, hitting a high of 15,820 in October, he said. "The real problem with phishing e-mail is that they really look like e-mail that you would expect to receive."
In one example, scammers crafted an e-mail that looks like it came from eBay. The mail announces that "Christmas is coming!" and encourages recipients to click on a link to "www.ebaychristmas.net" for advice on "seasonal selling." Though they appear legitimate, the e-mail message and the Web site were fraudulent, Klein said.
eBay and its online payment division PayPal have traditionally been popular among fraudsters looking for login names, credit card numbers and other sensitive information. eBay is aggressive in fighting such scams and offers a browser toolbar to help protect users against fake copies of its Web sites.
While eBay is a known phishing target, scams that involve charities are relatively new. With many in the spirit of giving, December could be a lucrative month for miscreants looking to profit on the generosity of Internet users.
"Since Katrina we have seen the Red Cross show up much more frequently in the list of top-phished Web sites," said Craig Sprosts, a product manager at e-mail security vendor IronPort Systems in San Bruno, Calif. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Web sites popped up that sought to defraud Internet users who thought they were doing good.
IronPort's filters have also stopped at least one e-mail that promised the recipient a prize in a "holiday lottery" and offered a link to a malicious Web site to collect the reward, Sprosts said.
Aside from phishing scams, Internet security companies have seen the so-called Nigerian scams take on a seasonal twist. Typically, swindlers send out junk e-mails around the world promising recipients a share in a fortune in return for an advance fee. Those who pay never receive the promised windfall.
"They will have words like Christmas and Jesus in them, which makes them a little harder to filter out," MailFrontier's Klein said.
While some attacks will adapt to the season, the deluge of traditional attacks continues. Internet users need to stay on guard and not let the holiday rush weaken their defenses, security experts warned.

I've looked around quite a bit and haven't found an answer to this one. How can I make the Admin Bar always show up by default for logged in users viewing the dashboard. I made it default for anyone viewing the site, but I need it just for logged in users.
I know that they can choose to see it or not, but their first time in the Dashboard they might get a little lost and not know to just click on the site's title at the top of the page.
Secondly, does anyone know how to remove the "Log Out" selection in the admin bar profile submenu. I've created my own log out link as a custom menu link so that it's visible. I don't want users to have to look for it under their avatar in that submenu so I've created a custom link, but now it's in two places. Anyone know how to remove it from the submenu? I've seen how to do this with other submenu links but not this particular link.

According to wikipedia:
Princess Diana: Mercedes-Benz S 280
That's the only info I could find on any of the cars. The rest are vague (naturally) eg: Margaret Mitchell was "struck by a speeding taxi".

Thanks. I knew Di's car should be named somewhere. I was kindof surprised I couldn't find info on Princess Grace.

Grace Kelly: After leaving the road her 10-year-old Rover tumbled 100 ft (30.5 m) down a ravine, turning over several times before coming to rest in a garden.
In September, 1982 Janet Gaynor was seriously injured in a San Francisco taxi cab accident which also injured her husband, executive producer Paul Gregory, and actress Mary Martin, and killed Martin's agent, Ben Washer. She never recovered and died of pneumonia on 14 September, 1984

According to Wikipedia, "[T.E. Lawrence] was mortally injured in a Brough Superior motorcycle accident in Dorset." He died six days later (so whether or not this counts for your list is questionable).

Landscape structure can influence demographics of spatially structured populations, particularly less vagile organisms such as amphibians. We examined the influence of agricultural landscape structure on community composition and relative abundance of the 4 most common amphibians in the Southern High Plains of central USA. Amphibian populations were monitored using pitfall traps and drift fence at 16 playa wetlands (8 playas/year) in 1999 and 2000. We quantified landscape structure surrounding each playa via estimating 13 spatial metrics that indexed playa isolation and inter-playa landscape complexity. Multivariate ordination and univariate correlations and regressions indicated that landscape structure was associated with community composition and relative abundance for 2 of the 4 amphibians. Spadefoots (Spea multiplicata, S. bombifrons) generally were positively associated with decreasing inter-playa distance and increasing inter-playa landscape complexity. Great Plains toads (Bufo cognatus) and barred tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum mavortium) usually were negatively associated with spadefoots but not influenced by landscape structure. Composition and relative abundance patterns were related to amphibian body size, which can influence species vagility and perception to landscape permeability. Spatial separation of these species in the multivariate ordination also may have been a consequence of differential competitive ability among species. These results suggest agricultural landscape structure may influence abundance and composition of spatially structured amphibian populations. This also is the first applied documentation that inter-patch landscape complexity can affect intra-patch community composition of amphibians as predicted by metapopulation theory. In the Southern High Plains, landscape complexity is positively associated with agricultural cultivation. Agricultural cultivation increases sedimentation, decreases hydroperiod, alters amphibian community dynamics, and negatively impacts postmetamorphic body size of amphibians in playa wetlands. Thus, conservation efforts should focus on preserving or restoring native landscape structure, hydroperiod, and connectivity among playas to maintain native amphibian populations and historic inter-playa movement.

• Adaptive parental behaviors produced from dealing with prolonged illness may sabotage medical care of the chronically ill pediatric patient. Such parental behaviors may be the result of unsuccessful intrapsychic or interpersonal salvage operations in the response to the strains resulting from illness in their child. They may resemble psychopathology, but actually can be reversible. Five cases are presented to illustrate differential diagnosis of parent difficulties ranging from adaptive strain in normal parents to Munchausen's syndrome by proxy in parents of children with chronic illness. A typology of parent-child pathology in health and chronic illness is presented. The literature is reviewed, diagnostic features are elaborated, and management strategies are suggested.
