According to the Omaha World Herald of yesterday "the insanity commission of Douglas county has decided that an individual can refuse the assistance of a physician in case of an accident can be a Christian Scientist and at the same time be perfectly sane. This decision was handed down by the members of the insanity commission in the case wherein Dr. Robert M. Stone filed a complaint against Mrs. Josephine Sedgwick, a Christian Science woman whom he charged with being insane and a dangerous person to be at large. Mrs. Josephine L. Sedgwick is the wife of Jerry Sedgwick. Jerry Sedgwick is the man who, on June 7, was thrown from a buggy and by reason of his head striking a tree was seriously injured, but has since recovered, and that without medical aid or assistance.I didn't know who Jerry Sedgwick was, but because I knew of other Sedgwick relatives in the area, I was curious to find out whether he was related to them. My first stop was WorldConnect, where I found a Jermaine Berosus Sedgwick whose wife's name was Josephine, in Mike Graham's Sedgwick2Graham Family Tree. Mike's data includes a timeline of locations for Jermaine which indicates that he did live in Nebraska at the time the above article was written. Mike also has a beautifully done website, Sedgwick2Graham, and a blog called Sedgwick2Graham: Notes from the Curator.
"Dr. Robert M. Stone had his attention called to the accident that befell Sedgwick and hurried to his side. There he met Mrs. Sedgwick. She informed the doctor that her husband was a believer in the Christian Science faith and did not need the services of a physician, requesting that the injured man "be left alone with his God."
"Dr. Stone went away from the scene and at once appeared before the insanity commission of Douglas county where he filed a complaint alleging that Mrs. Sedgwick was insane at the time and was not a safe person to be circulating about the community."
Really rabid geneaphiles may have noticed Jerry Sedgwick's name in the book pertaining to yesterday's post about Theron Emmons Sedgwick. In 1895, Jerry was serving the Nebraska Senate as an appointed Messenger to Secretary Sedgwick (see p. 296). Theron and Jerry, it appears, were second cousins, once removed.

Our local organization is considering breaking away from Babe Ruth and having our teams be independent to give us more flexibility in our scheduling. (We've looked at other organizations *e.g., Legion, AAU, USSSA but they are either not viable in our area and/or are even more restrictive with scheduling than our Babe Ruth league, so being an independent team seems to be the best option for us.)
Obviously, in this day and age, teams need good insurance. So:
1. Does anyone out there know of companies offering insurance plans for independent amateur baseball teams?
2. Are there any other national organizations that would charter/register & insure a team without requirements to be part of a local league?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Whether your new office is 100 square feet or 1000 square feet long, it's still going to require furnishing. Sometimes, though, the office is the last room in the house to get furnished or it's for a small business that doesn't have a lot of cash to allot towards furniture and other similar overhead expenses, so the budget is already used up or has very little remaining to spend. If that's the case for your home or office, don't worry – these four tips can help furnish your office on a budget.

STARKVILLE — Tyler Russell completed his first pass of Mississippi State's spring game for an easy 7-yard gain over the middle.
Then Josh Robinson bounced off a couple would-be tacklers and rumbled ahead for a 38-yard gain. A few plays later, Russell found Brandon Hill for an 11-yard touchdown.
It was a quick, efficient and impressive touchdown drive. The Bulldogs certainly hope it's a preview of things to come this fall.
"There were a bunch of big plays today," Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said with a wide smile. "Now we'll see on film if it was a great play or a missed assignment … We kept everything very simple. We kept the schematics very simple just because we had the teams split up. We didn't want to go too complex, so maybe that advantage leaned toward the offense."
The White team defeated the Maroon team 38-28 on Saturday in a spring game that featured a combined 791 total yards from both teams. The big plays were a welcome sight considering the offense will likely need to carry Mississippi State through the opening weeks of next season as the inexperienced defense develops experience.
Russell had a busy and productive day as the only healthy scholarship quarterback on the roster. Backup Dak Prescott missed the spring because of a foot injury.
The 6-foot-5 senior completed 13 of 24 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns — both to Hill. Russell is coming off a breakout junior season that included 2,897 yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, but he struggled down the stretch as the Bulldogs lost five of their last six.
His performance on Saturday was much more like early in the season, when Mississippi State won seven straight.
"I think I did pretty well," Russell said. "There are some things I can work on. I hit some guys on the back shoulder and led them out of bounds. But it's mostly just little things."
Starting running back LaDarius Perkins — who rushed for 1,024 yards and eight touchdowns last season — didn't play on Saturday because of a head injury. Brandon Holloway led the Bulldogs with 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Jeremey Chappelle, a 6-foot-3 junior college transfer who is expected to make a big impact next fall, caught eight passes for 114 yards and a touchdown.
"I've had a lot of confidence once I learned the playbook and got up to speed with the tempo," Chappelle said. "There is a lot of momentum going into the fall."
Mississippi State's defense is rebuilding after losing productive mainstays Johnthan Banks, Cameron Lawrence, Corey Broomfield and Darius Slay to graduation.
There are still some talented holdovers — including linebacker Bernardrick McKinney and defensive end Denico Autry. McKinney made 102 tackles last season to lead all SEC freshmen while 6-foot-6, 265-pound Autry had four tackles for a loss in his final four games last season.
But several of the new starters haven't had a huge role in the past.
First-year defensive coordinator Geoff Collins said the no-name composition of the defense should be a positive.
"Every day we're together, it's one defense and one heartbeat," Collins said. "Regardless of position, we can move guys around. They're playing well and getting to know the system."
Mullen said Mississippi State had a productive spring. The Bulldogs will try to extend their streak of three straight winning seasons next fall.
"We had a really good spring," Mullen said. "Now we can either take a giant step forward, stay the same or possibly even take a step back. If we want to be a championship team and compete for championships in this league, you better take some giant steps forward over the next few months before our next practice in August."

Where I stayed
Saturday Colin and I went into Lagos to shop, look around the Old Town and explore more local beaches. We found two very nice beaches Praia d Ana and Praia do Camilo both deserted, sandy and with good swimming. At Ponta de Piedade where the lighthouse is situated we were able to look down on the grottoes a popular boat trip from the marina. There were quite a few small boats and a couple of sailing boats there today and we discovered we could walk down to a jetty where boats can pick people up. The cliffs do look precarious and we wonder just how long they will stay there before crumbling into the sea. Part of the original car park has already subsided into the sea.
We went back for a nice Jacuzzi and played Trickster Scrabble with Chris and Olwen, a great fun version of the conventional scrabble. But I have to say the 'Scrabble Queen' was defeated in the second game because Colin and Chris ganged up on me to make me lose…..disgraceful behaviour from gentlemen I say.!!!!

Why can't a non-root user do this?
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=img bs=1024k count=1 $ mke2fs -F img $ mkdir mnt $ mount -t ext2 -o loop img mnt $
That's (IIUC) the standard way to create an initial ram disk for the linux kernel (as documented in eg its Documentation/initrd.txt).
mkcramfs OTOH doesn't require root privileges; any user can run that program to produce a cramfs image from a directory of its contents.
(But the existence of that tool seems to be a result of the fact that cramfs as a filesystem is readonly, so the above method doesn't work -- you can't create any content in the empty filesystem, because it's readonly -- so they were forced to make a separate tool. I'm not aware of corresponding tools for other filesystems. It's too bad the general method above doesn't work for non-root users. It seems unfortunate that just "mounting" a file to see what's packaged up in it -- that's what a filesystem image is, it's basically just like a ".tar.gz" file isn't it? -- why should that be a security risk?)
two-column xterm (and emacs)
Sometimes "top" output is more lines than fit in an xterm on my screen. But I have width enough for another xterm next to it. I'd like a "two-column" xterm so that the second xterm is treated as a vertical extension of the first one.
I'd also like the same thing in Emacs, where I split the screen down the middle (C-x 3) but the right half is a second column extending the buffer on the left half.
Googling "two-column xterm" came up empty.
(Actually I'm running gnome-terminal, not xterm. But varying the search terms doesn't seem to help.)
I wonder about Emacs. Someone has probably implemented what I want for Emacs, right?! Hmm. Looking at "apropos column" results ... "2C-two-columns" sounded promising but I wasn't able to get it to do anything useful. Reading some more docs I see it's meant for editing files with two columns of text. But I just want to display (and scroll and edit) a regular "single column" text file (buffer, really) using *more* than one column, continuing the text from the bottom of one column at the top of the next column (and so on, with three or more columns.)
Hmm... If I had the two-column xterm (gnome-terminal, whatever) presumably I could *run* Emacs in it and it would Just Work and I'd have my two-column Emacs display. But window-splitting would be kinda weird... Hmm...
UPDATE: C-x 3 M-x follow-mode does exactly what I want! Found it by surfing emacswiki.org a bit... Oh and I see AlanShutko pointed out the same thing; thanks!
ABC news: Writing in The New York Times in 1973, Christopher Lehmann-Haupt worried Thompson might someday "lapse into good taste." "That would be a shame, for while he doesn't see America as Grandma Moses depicted it, or the way they painted it for us in civics class, he does in his own mad way betray a profound democratic concern for the polity," he wrote. "And in its own mad way, it's damned refreshing."

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:trout beating
The previous week I had to watch the same story, minus the hatch--zero from the shoreline, while three guys in bellyboats took fish after fish out in the middle.
I may head out to the Quinnie this weekend, but it does get a ton of pressure and crowds are not my thing this time of year.
Thanks for the offer on the boats--a canoe is on my short list of goodies, but it seems a bit late for this season since I will soon be saltwater bound.
See you soon,
RE:trout beating
Jeff -
I know the feeling! I've got two ways to deal with that... first off, the pontoon boat -or- canoe put one into the drift pattern. I've got one of each you can borrow anytime.
The other is to fish the streamer or nasty bugger in the early morning before the gnats hatch when they are hunting along the shoreline this time of year.
I also look for the swallows working the hatch / bugline. Where they are feeding within casting distance from a point or shoal, I go.
The river gig is a good way to go. I looked at the Squanacook yesterday, it's at a good level and clear but a bit cold. Dropper beadhead and dry would be the trick I would say. I suppose the Nissitissit is in similar shape.
Atlantic brood stock season is now, but the Merrimac river is out of shape up there in Franklin.
trout beating
Since the saltwater bug has not taken over yet, and I still need to put the first notch in my new 4 wt, I fished one of the Plymouth ponds on Sunday:
Started out raining and mid sixties, but as the rain cleared the temperature slowly fell, mist covered the water, midges and gnats started hatching, and the trout began to rise consistantly----in the center of the G*d D&%m pond.
I spent 2.5 hours casting nymphs, dries, streamers and even drifting a san juan worm with a strike indicater (i.e. fly version of bait fishing)to no avail, while the trout remained a good 30' beyond my cast.
Sure enough, right before I gave up, the berkley power bait man 20' away from me took a 20" 3 lb.+ brown.
I am going back to the rivers, as I do nothing but take a beating stillwater trout fishing...

TUPELO – Kylee Foster spends her Friday afternoons playing, but this playing counts as volunteer work.
Kylee, 9, is one of the youngest volunteers at the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society. She spends her Friday afternoons after school at the shelter, where she spends time with dogs and cats waiting to be adopted, giving them a bath, playing with them or just getting to know them. Her love for animals is what led her to help out at the shelter.
"I like to help people adopt dogs," she said, "because I feel like I'm helping my friends find a new home."
And that's exactly what she's done since she first volunteered for the shelter last summer.
She got her start by having bake sales and opening lemonade stands, and donating all of the proceeds – more than $170 – to the shelter.
Now she spends her time making life a little better for the animals.
"I put peanut butter in the cone things," she said. "I look at the (animals') tags to see how long they've been here, and the ones that have been here the longest, I take them to the bonding room and play with them. We play fetch or I take them outside."
She also saves her newspapers and takes them to the shelter each week.
Kylee helps families adopt new pets, and so far she's helped with 35 adoptions.
"I don't think I worked that hard at that age," said her father, Matt Foster. "She does it all on her own. That's just the Christian in her."
Kylee, a fourth grader at Tupelo Christian Prepatory School, has a busy schedule: she takes piano and voice lessons, is on the cheer squad, swims and plays basketball, in addition to staying on the honor roll at school.
She has her own critters at home – a cat and two dogs – and hopes to be a veterinarian one day. Her favorite animals, she said, are horses, dogs and cats.
Her father said he couldn't be more proud.
"I've always liked dogs, but Kylee's the one who really loves every animal," he said. "She's just got a big heart."

Four people were injured and one man trapped inside a car after a crash involving three vehicles yesterday afternoon.
St John ambulances took the injured people to Middlemore Hospital after the smash on Alfriston Rd in South Auckland about 2pm. One person was seriously injured, two others were moderately injured and a fourth person had minor injuries.
Firefighters used the jaws of life to free the trapped man. A local resident said the Fire Service had to cut the entire roof off to free him.
Meanwhile, a teenage passenger angrily yelled at his driver mate "why did you do that bro?" after an ill-fated attempt to flee from police ended in a high-speed crash earlier yesterday. Residents in Auckland's Mt Eden Rd were woken at 6.45am by a screech of tyres as the maroon Toyota Celica went out of control. The vehicle carrying three teenagers skidded across the road, took out a metal pole and then hit a concrete step in front of GPOS Computers, which stopped the car from going through the glass doors.
The driver, who police said was disqualified, refused to say why he had tried to flee.
But his friend, who was in the passenger seat, and was reportedly the owner of the car, told cops he tried to put the gear stick into neutral to prevent his friend from making a run for it.
As he lay on the ground in handcuffs, he repeatedly said: "Why did you do that bro?"
A female passenger appeared to be in shock after the crash.

The Small but Powerful Guide to Winning Big Support for Your Rural Library
Technology & Advocacy: Data You Can Use
Technology can be an important topic for library advocacy—both libraries' need for technology and the public's use of technology in libraries.
Two studies—the American Library Association's Public Library Funding and Technology Access Study and the University of Washington's U.S. IMPACT Public Library Study—provide valuable data that rural and small libraries can use to talk about technology in meaningful and persuasive ways.
The University of Washington's U.S. IMPACT Public Library Study, sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Washington State University, released the report, "Opportunity for All: How the American Public Benefits from Internet Access at U.S. Public Libraries," in 2010. Among the key findings:
From 2009-2010, 45% of the 169 million visitors to public libraries connected to the Internet using a library computer or wireless network.
44% of people in households living below the federal poverty line ($22,000 a year for a family of four) used public library computers and Internet access; 61% of young adults (14-24 years of age) in house-holds below the federal poverty line used public library computers and Internet for educational pur-poses; and 54% of seniors (65 and older) living in poverty used public library computers for health or wellness needs.
More than 32 million visitors reported using library computers for a variety of educational activities: doing their homework, searching for and applying to GED and graduate programs, completing online courses and tests and even applying for financial aid.
The American Library Association's Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study report, "Libraries Connect Communities: Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study, 2009-2010," compiles significant information on library technology use and funding, including data from rural libraries. Among the findings:
Virtually every U.S. public library provides public access to computers and the Internet, and two-thirds of libraries report that they are the only free public connection in their communities for these services.
75% of public libraries report an increased use of public access workstations and 71% report an increased use of library wireless internet access.
Rural libraries report an average of 9.2 public access workstations, but 55.9% of libraries report that there are fewer public Internet workstations than patrons who wish to use them.

Primary lymphoma of the brain is cancer of white blood cells that starts in the brain.
Brain lymphoma; Cerebral lymphoma; Primary lymphoma of the central nervous system; Lymphoma - brain
The cause of primary brain lymphoma is not known.
Patients who have a weakened immune system are at high risk of primary lymphoma of the brain. Common causes of a weakened immune system include HIV and organ transplants (especially heart transplants).
Primary lymphoma of the brain may be linked to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). This is the virus that causes mononucleosis, especially in people with HIV infection.
Primary brain lymphoma is more common in people ages 45 to 70. The rate of primary brain lymphoma is rising. But this cancer is still very rare.
The following tests may be done to help diagnose a primary lymphoma of the brain:
Primary lymphoma of the brain is usually first treated with corticosteroids to control swelling and improve symptoms. The main treatment is with chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy of the whole brain was once the main treatment for primary lymphoma of the brain. Now it is usually given to patients who do not respond to chemotherapy.
Younger patients may receive high-dose chemotherapy, followed by an autologous stem cell transplant.
Boosting the immune system, such as in those with HIV, may also be tried.
Without treatment, patients with primary brain lymphoma survive for less than 2 months. Patients who are treated with chemotherapy often survive 3 to 4 years or more, depending on whether the tumor stays in remission. Survival may improve with autologous stem cell transplant.
Possible complications include:

have started picking up the coding speed
on my new project rubidium. a libjit based ruby vm.
hopefully i'll have a snapshot of my work available
in the coming 2-3 months.
at last the brand new shiny version of http://www.lypanov.net is live and funking. :)
as i'm currently looking for work i thought a good place to start with was to post a quick diary message here.
so, anyone in need of a ruby / kde / qt / c++ programmer, please feel free to contact me.
hopefully this message will get to someone interested :)
cheers, Alex
mainly coding ruby at the moment, a couple of new programs that i'll
probably release at some point in the near future
- rvsh (a ruby curses based vim clone)
- RubberDoc (indexing doc viewer using the ruby-kde bindings - korundum)
- ruby-msnlib (ruby port of the excellent python lib)
Its been a while since I posted here, but i figured that as i've at last gotten around to buying my own domain and investing some time in a new website design and finding a provider I may as well increase my google linkage by posting here :)
While AxKit really does rock, unfortunately my current hosting company doesn't quite rock so much. So, anyone who happens to read this and has a mod_perl/ssh capable host that they wouldn't mind giving me some access to, please email me at my username at kde dot org :)
Working on an AxKit version of my website currently. Unfortunately its going kind of slowly. But I do have some working content pages now!
My incremental redesign of Keditbookmarks seems to at last be paying off now.
umm.. my website sucks. officially.
i need to get a good content management solution,
i wonder if one exists that allows me to use xml for content and php for code. umm...
don't feel like writing one this time around,
i'm frustrated enough as it is with my currently stupid xml parser :) ...
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

I found 2 Jedi Turbo Speeders today, and a couple El-Les figures.
The Turbo Speeders were at Toys R Us, and then at Wal-Mart. The latter is $3 cheaper, but I don't think I care about the $3. Wal-Mart had their CW figures on sale for $6.50 anyway, so I think I saved $2 and some change as it is.
I got a new Droid X today and tried the voice texting and sent a message to JediTricks. It said:
I'm at Wal-Mart and found the Turbos Peter, or something like that. LOL - that could be so misconstrued!

Ham it up on the grill with an orange marinade and spicy sauce.
Two tablespoons chopped green onions can be used instead of the chives.
To grill with indirect heat, place a drip pan directly under grilling area and arrange coals around the edge of the firebox.

The benefits of an M.S.L. degree
The Master's in the Study of Law degree offered by The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law is designed as a flexible program for those who want to learn more about the law in order to strengthen their professional skills. Does law cross over into your area of expertise? Would knowing about certain legal practices, laws and regulations help advance your career? This program will provide you with a foundation in U.S. law, and the flexibility to design your course schedule in a way that best suits your career needs. You will attend classes alongside J.D. and LL.M. students at one of the country's top 15 public law schools.
Academic requirements
To receive the M.S.L. degree, a student must earn passing grades in not fewer than 30 semester credit hours of law school courses. A full-time student typically will be able to complete the program in one academic year. Part-time students generally will be expected to complete the requirements for the M.S.L. degree within four academic years.
M.S.L. students are required to complete three traditional first-year courses: Legal Analysis and Writing I or Legal Analysis, Research and Writing for International Students; and two of the following: Civil Procedure I, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Legislation, Property, or Torts. For the remaining credits, students can design their own curriculum, or complete a concentration in one of the following areas:
- Corporate Law
- Criminal Law and Procedure
- Dispute Resolution
- Intellectual Property and Information Law
- International and Comparative Law
- Labor and Employment Law
Students must receive approval from the Assistant Dean for International and Graduate Programs for their chosen courses.

Update: AMD Board Approves Acquisition of ATI, Bankers Confirm
Tuan Nguyen
July 22, 2006 12:20 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Reports claim a $5.6B deal is about to close on an unprecedented merger
According to a report in
The Globe and Mail
, the
board of directors at AMD has allegedly approved the takeover of Canadian graphics firm ATI Technologies
. The report claims that the information was released by an investment banker that was part of the discussions. According to other sources, AMD executives were also seen at ATI's headquarters in Markham, Ontario. The report indicated that AMD is considering a
$5.6 billion takeover bid for ATI
Speculation and rumors have run rampant over the last several months about the possible merger between AMD and ATI, but no concrete details have been revealed. According to reports on ATI's share prices, the company's shares have been trading at double the usual volume today. Analysts said that AMD would be making an offer of 20 to 40 percent premium to ATI's current share price. ATI shares traded at $16.12 on the NASDAQ today during after hours, which is up 39 cents from yesterday's closing.
has also picked up on the story
, claiming that "Some analysts have questioned the rationale for an AMD-ATI merger, and others were surprised that the speculation received no attention from analysts during AMD's earnings conference call on Thursday."
had punched in for question during the
investor conference call on Thursday
, but a moderator would not respond.
According to Eric Gomberg, an analyst for investment bank Thomas Weisel Partners, "there has been considerable industry speculation that AMD may pursue an acquisition of ATI Technologies, although such an outcome is by no means certain." Gomberg's comment came in earlier this week, but word circulating around investment bankers who are aware of the talks between ATI and AMD surfaced just several hours ago.
Recent reports indicated that Intel roadmaps
no longer included ATI chipsets
. Although Intel had been producing motherboards using ATI logic, upcoming boards like those that support Core 2 processors are void of any chipset from ATI. Interestingly, ATI and Intel had agreed to several cross-licensing programs that allowed them to take advantage of some of each other's technologies. Several analysts however, indicated that the merger between AMD and ATI to be "out of strategy for AMD and out of focus. Stupidity is no barrier to tech mergers."
A report in the
Wall Street Journal confirms the talks between AMD and ATI
(subscription required) today. Although the deal is not final, the report said that representatives from both companies declined to comment.
AMD has previously indicated that it would embrace embedded processor technologies for its
platform -- some of which would include
math and physics co-processors
. However, the company has recently
exited all non-x86 processor design
Update 07/24/2006:
AMD and ATI jointly announced the confirmation of the $5.4B merger today (July 24, 2006)
"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." -- Scientology founder L. Ron. Hubbard

Try this irresistible artichoke dip, made with frozen spinach, Alfredo sauce, and Swiss cheese. Leave your guests begging for more.
Swiss cheese is a natural in this dip, but experiment by using another mild cheese. Shredded mozzarella, Monterey Jack, provolone and Gouda are all great choices.
For added flavor and texture, toast the French bread slices or serve with soft garlic bread sticks. Vegetables, such as sticks of jicama, asparagus spears, cherry tomatoes and baby carrots, also make great dippers.

Hey guys the evidence in undeniable. Tannehill cost us this game and simply stated, purely horrible.
Put him on the bench because he's not a franchise QB at all, and never will be, its just another wasted # 1 draft pick.
Start Moore or Devlin next week and see what we can muster.
We could have won this game if not for Tannehills 3 picks.

Actor/director David Duchovny to speak, April 27
Posted April 15, 2006; 08:32 p.m.
Actor and director David Duchovny, a 1982 Princeton alumnus, will
discuss his work at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 27, in the Stewart Film
Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Duchovny gained fame as FBI Agent Fox Mulder in television's "The X Files" from 1993 to 1998. He has starred in several feature films, including "Kalifornia," "Playing God," "Return to Me" and "Connie and Carla." The 2004 film, "House of D," marked his debut as writer and director.
Duchovny stars in a new comedy, "The TV Set," about the making of a television pilot that will be featured later this month at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
The talk, designated as the John Sacret Young Lecture, is sponsored by the Program in Visual Arts and the Committee for Film Studies.
Leading up to it will be a showing of "House of D" at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 21, in the Stewart Film Theater and a screening of two episodes of "The X Files" written and directed by Duchovny at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, April 23, in the Rockefeller-Mathey Theater.
All three events are free and open to the public.

It was a cold, blustery trip to Westbrook, and we were to be rewarded by hot Tex-Mex fare and margaritas. We arrived at Fajita Grill for a friend's birthday party and were immediately greeted by a six-foot Christmas tree and the warm sound of "Feliz Navidad" ringing through the restaurant — we had no idea there would be live music.
It was Manuel who, like Madonna or Cher, only has a first name. He's a Mexican man roughly in his early 60s. With his weathered, beat-up acoustic guitar, he made his way from table to table, serenading senoritas and birthday parties alike. He was dressed in a traditional Latin American suit, which reminded me of a mariachi band or a matador, but much a simpler navy blue with gold trim. His gigantic silver belt buckle tied the outfit together.
Fajita Grill is a large restaurant divided in two sections by the bar in the middle, but Manuel's voice rang clearly above the ambient chatter of the patrons. When he arrived at our table, much to our delight, he opened with "Guantanamera," a well-known traditional Cuban song. Next, he transformed "La Bamba" from an overplayed '80s hit into a ballad, which could very well have been written about his own personal trials and tribulations. He left us wanting more, and we hoped a large tip would encourage him to return to our table.
It was unclear, from either Manuel or the staff, how often he stops by, but he was absolutely the highlight of our night.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Malcolm, just make the flight no other questions required. No need for this changing hands and which one to put on top. Just make the dam cast
Work has been a bear
I'll send you a follow up to the email you sent later this week.
|Willie Gunn
Great fly have you tried it for steelhead on the west coast?
I am still being tempted to fish the Thomson later this year, a Willie Gunn on a full sinker, should do the trick. Single spey cast of course.
I would not last long as a fish I always take the first fly i see.
|beau purvis
|you took my fly. I knew i would draw you back with that one.just playing with you Willie!! By the way, I caught my biggest Kharlovka fish on my first cast in my life with a Willie Gunn on a brass tube.thought of you afterwards.Beau
|Willie Gunn
Moi gruff? what next.
There are only 2 casts to learn the single and the double spey. Left and right hand up, once you can do those well you can fish anywhere. The rest are just patter.
|beau purvis
|no problem, I was just trying to clarify I wasnt being dogmatic after Willie"s seemingly gruff retort.I really enjoy experiment and change similar to that expressed by Juro.I also am a little sensitive , since once in a while I have been tackled a little hard!!!But I am a big boy!Beau
was just trying to answer the original question about the best cast river left with a upstream wind. The use of the single spey in that situation is of course only my prefered method. I realize I may have came off with a thats the only way to do it attitude, my bad on that part, I know better, and keep a very open mind when it comes to casting preferences and styles as I tend to use them all.
It's all good!
Beau makes and excellent point, we all have individual preferences, skillsets, goals and pleasure points. I do agree with Brian, the single is the 'one' to learn, however that wouldn't be true for all practitioners necessarily.
Years ago I started out just trying to get the damn line out there far enough. The double and snap were my saviors. Then I got consistent with the single, and my left hand came along too. Now, as funny as it seems, when the cast I am doing gets easy I switch to another cast! Call it crazy but I figure "every minute in a groove is a minute I could use to improve". If Ben Franklin was a speybrotha I'm sure he'd coin a phrase like that.
I listed the upriver snake as my favorite but by no means is it the 'best' or worst, easiest or hardest, and it won't necessarily catch more fish. It's just fun
|beau purvis
|I am trying to help with ?'s asked about snap T.!! Not preaching that is the only cast to use,Not that dogmatic!! I try to use all casts.As I have said before everyone is dialed in differently and some can do some casts and others can't.All situations are different also.You cant just say 'river left.upstream wind means single spey or what ever.there can be slight differences that favor certain casts.I usually start with obvious but try other options if my first choice seems to have some less thn desired aspects.At rare times and unusual wind currents the "wrong cast" has worked best!I also just like to change and experiment to give my muscles and my brain a change.my single from river left is also a weak cast for me.I tend to do the single on river right ,upstram wind , especially when using a floating line.I use the single much more with a floating line for some reason.I find it interesting that the dogmatic ones argue against the snap T because there is an extra move required. Yet, they use the double spey in a downriver wind .you would think that that same resoning would drive them towards the snake.Must be tradition rather than efficiency!Any way thats my dribble ,for what ever it is worth!!Beau
|Up stream wind on the left bank. You would be crazy to not use a single spey off the right shoulder, quickest way to get the fly back out and fishing. I won't discredit the snap-t as a cast its very useful with very heavy tips and a serious change of direction. But you can achieve the same with the single and use one less move to make the cast. Learn the single and it will be your best friend, practice it off both shoulders and you won't want to use a snap or a double.
Juro and Beau provides tons of good advice. Here's a ounce:
to cast a narrower downstream angle on the snap-T, throw the D-loop more upriver
the anchoring and body tips that Juro and Beau give will make it possible to send the line fully downstream on the final cast, 0 degrees, back to the dangle
|beau purvis
|on Juro's part of the cast described under b] ,I sort of cast the line below me by puting a good bend in my rod tip and using that to propell a few feet of semi slack line as I follow through down and and around toward shore a little more than where i am standing. that way ,the line on the water ends with a half of a C shape on the downstrem half.That ,to me, is the perfect shape to retrace on the sweep back upstream. It eliminates any extra noise or tension.it is a smooth oerfect retracement.also ,I make sure my tip on that move ends in the water. So,before I start the sweep back up , all the line and the tip are on the water.If I do that every time ,the fly is anchored in the same spot above my body every time, eliminating any variation of the anchor and giving me a smooth, even ,continous build of load from the moment I start the upriver sweep prior to final delivery.By the way ,my first lift move is done with a combination of a down hand push and up hand pull and as soon as it is lifted ,the down stroke is done with a downhand pull and upper hand push combo.I dont really use any arm movement.A lot of people use big arm movements and move the whole rod.my hands and arms basically stay pretty much stable in those first two moves and I use an easy push-pull and pull-push making the top half of the rod to do all the work!Beau
|Willie Gunn
Bee, Beau Purvis and especially Juro once again... thankyou for the tips. I'm heading down to the river over the next few days- I'll try what you have recommended.
|are you trying to direct the cast more upstream or more downstream?..if you are trying to get more uptream, thne try this...I am not a casting instructor and only can say this works for me in my snap t ....If you right hand is the top hand and you have snapped the line upstream and before it anchors , if you sweep the rod back and downward to the left as far possible without taking it behind you , the effect is to move the anchor in really tight to your right side and with the rod then directed upstream on the forward stroke you can direct the forward and final portion of the cast more upstream..said another way, the further the rod is swept back to the left, the more upstream shot you get on the final cast...
|beau purvis
snap t
I like a snap t with a twist in Juro's river left ,upstream wind situation..the twist is a sidearm delivery when the wind is hard.the sidearm aspect makes evrything rollout and turnover parallel to the water surface.your leader and fly will flip around and land downstream of your line and be ready to fish without a mend.whereas, with the more normal delivery the hard wind will mostly blow the big fly and leader upriver of your line and this will require a hard messy mend.to me it is easier to do the sidearm than with a single.also easier to laydown the 2nd cast move of the snap T in a tough wind consistently.BEAU

What I Have Been Doing Recently
Hello dear friends. You may have noticed that I have been a bit remiss in posting this past month. I wanted to let you know what I've been doing instead of blogging!
I have been up to my ears in developing a brand new website for my clinic that will have this blog as part and parcel of the site.
We Have a Brand New Site… almost!
You will love this new site! It will have this blog , all my Youtube videos, blogs from other areas of expertise in our clinic, including clinical nutrition, physical therapy, internal medicine and chiropractic and "Doctor Approved Recipes".
The new site also has a "community" area where we can have a "forum" to chat, exchange ideas, new foods, recipes, etc. There will be a wealth of information that is continually updated and I hope you find it extremely informative.
When it goes live the address will be the same as my current clinic site (www.healthnowmedical.com), it just will go to the new site instead.
It truly should be just a few more days until it goes live – of course I thought that two weeks ago but … here's hoping! I will leave this post up here as I methodically move over each and every earlier post to the new site while continuing with new content. The only downside is that the comments will not transfer from this site to our new one. I apologize for that as you have all asked great questions in the past.
I Can't Wait to Hear Your Feedback!
I welcome your feedback of the new site and those of you for whom I have an email address, I will send you a personal reminder of the new address.
See you soon!
To your good health!

By Gabriela Ramirez, ChildFund Mexico
Jacqueline lives in Mexico's state of Mesha a Choossto, home to the indigenous Mazahua people. It is a place between mountains, pine trees and cactus. A place where you feel the cold air that blows to the bone, no matter the time of year.
A cheerful countenance belies the fact that Jacqueline, 14, has a serious illness: pulmonary stenosis, an abnormal development of the fetal heart that affects blood flow to the lungs.
Because of this condition, Jacqueline has little appetite; can´t breathe well; gets tired quickly; can´t walk, run or play; or express strong emotions.
No and no and no!
With medical operations starting when she was 8 months old, Jacqueline´s life has not been easy.
At first, going to school meant being carried in the arms of her mother. But Jacqueline was eager to walk and she did it, slowly but surely taking long breaths.
In school, she doesn't go out at recess time to play with other children, yet she has faithful friends who share lunch and spend time with her talking and laughing.
But not all days are good. Jacqueline has been a victim of discrimination by peers at school. Some of her classmates made fun of her condition. She would ask her mother: "Why am I going through all this? Why do they tell me that I'm going to die?"
Her mother, with tears in her eyes, could only hug her hard.
And then Jacqueline found another source of support—ChildFund and its partner organization in her community, Tziti'u a Mesha a Choossto I.A.P., where she now receives care and attention. She also has a sponsor who provided funds for a specially fitted bicycle. Jacqueline's mother now has a better way to transport her daughter to school.
When Jacqueline came to ChildFund Mexico, her condition was deteriorating progressively, and she had to spend more time at home lying down.
With the support of ChildFund's partner organization, Jacqueline was referred to Children's Hospital in Mexico City for yet another operation. Although her condition has improved, another operation will be needed soon.
That makes her sad, but Jacqueline says she wants to keep improving her quality of life. She wants to study. She wants to be an example to her siblings and a help to her parents. And she is convinced that her illness will not get her down.
Perhaps the mark left by the doctors on her chest after the operation is an "I" for invincible.
am interested in working in your organisation for instance as a volunteer or intern or whatever any position.how can i be part of you
Thanks for your message. Volunteer positions are community based. So if you live in a ChildFund-supported community, check with our community office or area office to see if there are opportunities for you. All of our employment opportunities are announced on the ChildFund website: http://bit.ly/oBJfuL. We wish you all the best.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:13 AM GMT on February 21, 2011
Heavy snows in excess of six inches have piled up over much of South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota today, with a storm maximum of 16 inches reported at Midland, South Dakota. This is bad news for residents in flood-prone areas of the Upper Midwest, as the new storm has added more than another half inch of melted rainfall equivalent to a snowpack that already had a record water content. When all that snow melts in late March, we can expect another spring of major and possibly record flooding for North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, or the Upper Mississippi River north of St. Louis, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Their February Spring Flood Outlook released last week warned: "Heavy autumn rains and above average water content in the snow pack throughout the North Central U.S. have produced a high risk of moderate and major flooding for the Spring of 2011. Areas of greatest concern include the Red River of the North in North Dakota and Minnesota, Devils Lake in North Dakota, the James River and Big Sioux River in South Dakota, and areas along the Upper Mississippi River including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
Heavy late summer and autumn precipitation (twice the normal amount since October in parts of North Dakota and Minnesota) have soils saturated and streams running high before the winter freeze-up. Another winter of above average snowfall has added water to the snow pack on top of the frozen saturated soils in the North Central US. NWS models show this snowpack containing a water content ranked in the 90 to 100 percentile when compared to a 60 year average. These factors have combined to create some of the highest soil moisture contents of the last century. "
Figure 1. North Central U.S. flood risk. Image credit: NWS. The outlook will be updated on February 24, and a final outlook issued March 17.
There is a huge amount of snow on the ground in North Dakota along the tributaries of the Red River, thanks to fall precipitation that was 150% - 300% of normal, and winter snows that have dumped up to 400% more precipitation than usual. If one were to melt this snow, it would amount to 4 - 5 inches of rain. If heavy rains occur at the same time that the snow melts, there is the potential for the greatest flood in history to affect the cities of Fargo and Grand Forks, the largest and third largest cities in North Dakota. NWS is giving a 20% chance that Fargo will see its greatest flood in history, and a 10% chance for Grand Forks.
The situation is similar in Minnesota, which has received about double its normal precipitation over the past 3 to 4 months. Snow depths are generally around 18 inches in the Upper Mississippi watershed, with a high water content. If one were to melt this snow, it would amount to 3.5 - 5.5 inches of rain, which ranks among the wettest snow packs in the 60-year record. NWS is giving a 15% chance that St. Paul will see its highest flood in history this spring.
In South Dakota, heavy snows this winter have also left a snowpack with a high water content, and NWS is predicting a 30% chance that the the James River at Huron, SD and the Big Sioux River at Brookings, SD will reach their highest flood heights in history.
Figure 2. The snow water equivalent of the Upper Midwest's snowpack as of February 18, 2011. Large sections of Minnesota and North Dakota have the equivalent of 3.9 - 5.9 inches of rain (purple colors) stored in their snowpack. Image credit: NWS/NOHRSC.
When will all this flooding occur? Generally, late March through mid-April is the time when the big spring melt occurs. The record 2009 Red River flood peaked on March 28 in Fargo. The great 1997 Red River flood that devastated Grand Forks, causing $3.5 billion in damage, crested on April 18. St. Paul's greatest flood in history crested on April 19, 1965.
I'll have a new post Tuesday or Wednesday.

Ok, i'm at home, feeling crappy.
Uploaded the first version of the unofficial yopy faq yesterday night, got some ok responses.
The next steps will be finishing it off, completing it, and building the rest of the site around it :)
I did some steps to reconstruct my /home filesystem, so i can get back to real work, like fixing the bugs in my Debian packages ;)
Took a long, good, look at subversion too. Pity it's still CVS-only, or i would've started packaging it.
It looks really cool, and i can't wait to see the first real release - might want to switch from CVS to subversion at the office, to give it a test drive for a while.

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved technique used to decode vast numbers of existing Dolby Surround sources. This technology enables a discrete 5-channel playback with 2 front left and right channels, 1 center channel, and 2 surround left and right channels instead of only 1 surround channel for conventional Pro Logic technology. There are three modes available: "Music mode" for music sources, "Movie mode" for movie sources and "Game mode" for game sources.

DTS Digital Surround™
DTS Digital Surround™ was developed to replace the analog soundtracks of movies with a multichannel digital sound track. This system produces practically distortion-free 6-channel sound (front left and right, center, surround left and right and subwoofer low frequency effect channels for a total of 5.1-channels).
DivX is the video compression codec developed by DivX Networks and based on the MPEG-4 compression format. Its balance of high video quality and low bit rate has made it very popular and quickly established it as the best home video format thus far. The ability to play it on newer DVD models continues to add to its popularity as DivX Networks advances its support to many new household products. This compression technology has the potential for expanding the ways we view video media in much the way MP3 has given us many new ways to listen to music.
CD Digital Video
DVD Players equipped with CD Digital Video capabilities will be able to play video and sound media that has been compressed together and recorded onto a CD disc.
Yamaha CD changers give you the benefits of extended playing time and direct selection from all discs. And with PlayXchange, you can change discs while the current one continues to play. You don't have to interrupt the music to change a disc and you're not limited to changing only one disc at a time.
Advanced YST
Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology (Advanced YST) is a unique system in which the speaker and amplifier work together to cancel out impedance so the speaker unit has a perfectly linear motion. Advanced YST helps to ensure the highest levels of sound pressure and overall performance.
