text: Further to the "Multimedia Messages thread here http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-apollo-3/377014-multimedia-messages.html I have become aware of something... my phone always "prefers" to use WiFi so if there is a network available it will use WiFi rather than 3G unless I physically switch off WiFi to allow it to use 3G. Which is logical, since why would you want to use chargeable data if you have a WiFi network available? It cannot, however, send or receive MMS messages unless packet data - 3G - is enabled. Which means: if somebody sends me a picture message or some other form of MMS whilst I am connected to WiFi, I will receive only a notification that there is a message "downloading" which never actually downloads, so I am unable to see it (ever - I have to ask the sender to resend); and I am unable to send any form of MMS - it will just sit there saying "sending" without ever delivering - unless I have remembered to switch WiFi off and packet data on. If I tell the phone to "enable packet data" (3G) but leave WiFi switched on the phone will itself turn off the 3G connection in favour of WiFi. So it would seem that you cannot have (not sure what the correct terminology is here so please bear with me) 3G running on "standby" in case MMS's arrive? If I am at home or go somewhere where the phone knows the WiFi network and WiFi is switched on, it will automatically connect me to it unless I tell it otherwise and off goes the 3G. So, if somebody wants to send me a MMS I have to ask them to tell me first, so I can switch my 3G on? Or else I leave packet data enabled and end up using chargeable data, lots of battery and getting a warm phone for any automatic updates, emails or whatever when I could be using my free WiFi... In the "Access Point Names" menu I have "Orange UK Internet" and "Orange UK MMS" to select from, settings-wise, but only the "Internet" item shows a green "light" against it. There doesn't seem to be a way of changing this? The phone is upgraded to 2.2. So am I missing something obvious here and being a bit dim, or is there an issue with the phone? Sorry for long post!

An NHLBruins resurrection party taking place on Jan. 17 at the Harp. Sounds like it should be a good little hockey love-in for the diehard Bruins fans out there.
What will the Rangers do with Wade Redden? What will Redden do with himself if hes back in the NHL? Interesting questions abound.
If you are a glutton for hating the Canucks, heres the Green Men podcast for your perusal.
Jonathan Toews questions the length of the NHL lockout just as players around here have been doing all week. Its definitely a legit point.
Dustin Byfuglien is feeling just fine after the lockout layover and says his conditioning wont be an issue. What the Winnipeg Jets coaching staff thinks might be a different story altogether.
If you havent already please like the Turk: the Movie Facebook page and support the efforts to make a film about Derek Sandersons life. It sounds like its going to be a pretty awesome flick when its said and done, and Ed Burns has already signed on to play Sandersons dad.
Scott Hartnell enjoyed himself during the NHL lockout. Scott Hartnell enjoys himself no matter where he goes.

Supreme Court Takes a Pass on Mt. Soledad Cross Case
Today, we were pleased to learn that the Supreme Court declined to review our challenge to the federal government's display of a 43-foot-tall Latin cross atop Mt. Soledad in San Diego, California. The ACLU and the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties brought the case on behalf of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America—the oldest veterans' organization in the country – and several local residents.
The Supreme Court's decision lets stand a January ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which held that the cross display violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. As the Ninth Circuit explained, "The use of such a distinctively Christian symbol to honor all veterans sends a strong message of endorsement and exclusion. It suggests that the government is so connected to a particular religion that it treats that religion's symbolism as its own, as universal. To many non-Christian veterans, this claim of universality is alienating."
The lawsuit's journey through our judicial system has been long and winding and need not have ever reached the Supreme Court's door. Twenty-three years ago, veterans sued the City of San Diego, arguing that the display of the mammoth cross on city property was unconstitutional. Agreeing with the veterans, the Ninth Circuit eventually ruled in 1993 that that the cross "carries an inherently religious message and creates an appearance of honoring only those servicemen of that particular religion." After several efforts by the city to circumvent the court rulings, and years of litigation, the parties reached a tentative settlement in 2004 that would have moved the cross to a neighboring church.
This resolution, which was supported by veterans' groups at the time, would have preserved the cross, while, at the same time, eliminating the hurtful and divisive message that the city valued the contributions of Christian veterans over those of all others. The loss of this message was more than some people could bear, however, and various groups helped scuttle the deal, ultimately lobbying Congress to "save" the Mt. Soledad Cross as a "historic symbol of Christianity in America." Instead of respecting the wishes of veterans to move the cross to private property, Congress bowed to these demands, designating the cross a national veterans memorial and seizing the property using eminent domain.
The central premise of this case should have been fairly uncontroversial: The government should not discount the sacrifice of any veteran simply because he or she is not Christian; and government war memorials should honor all veterans, regardless of faith.
Though some have claimed otherwise, the simple fact is that a Latin cross does not represent all veterans. The government should not be sending a message that it favors one faith over others, especially when it comes to our veterans. Now that the Supreme Court has declined to hear it, the case will return to the district court to fashion a solution that will, we hope, honor all veterans by reaffirming this well-established principle and ordering the government to remove the display.

That cross does not discrimanate against anyone. What ever happened to "tolerance"? Yes, our government does have the right and obligation to allow that Cross to stand right where it is.
How odd that a billboard with men or women nearly naked or in sexual postions is OK but a Cross is not. There is something woring with the ACLU that it supports garbage but want's to tear down a simple that honor's the ultimate sacrafice - to give up one's life for another which is exactly what the Cross itself synbolizes. Have you ever thought it that way?
- July 12, 2012
Jewish, Muslim, and non-religious veterans and citizens of San Diego don't agree with you. Neither do the local, municipal, state and federal courts, up to and including the Supreme Court.
In 2004, the MSMA agreed to move the cross to the nearby Presbyterian Church. It's time for them to do so.
- July 30, 2013
How odd that a billboard with men or women nearly naked or in sexual postions is OK but a Cross is not.
Because its not on public land
- December 13, 2013
it is time to stop financial and military aid to the Jewish state. that is clearly our Government supporting a religion. and this complaint is by Jewish vets.

An Ominous Deadline
The market has been sending warning signals lately and now it looks like the dip-buyers may be losing their zeal. We have had only feeble bounce attempts after the big gap-down open. I don't think we've seen that sort of action all year. Typically, there is an aggressive bounce attempt very quickly.
Another thing that is notable this morning is that breadth is at the worst level of the year and is better than 10 to 1 negative on the NYSE. The big-caps are not providing a smoke screen either, with selling hitting IBM (IBM), Apple (AAPL) and other recent outperformers....148 more words left in this article.

Supplier: M18339
M18339 has moved from South Coast to one of the tourism less touched corners of North Coast. Not only animals, but also many plants have found a new home in the M18339 and "Porini Farm Restaurant" in Kikambala. Indeed, the heavy rainfalls of the last rain season have assisted our planting. They, however, delayed in the beginning the building of the new spacious guest houses and the pool.
In the meantime, nevertheless, for large detached guest houses with 52 square meters floor space (Living and sleeping area, shower and toilet) and with a large roofed terrace have been completed. Each of three guest houses has its own particular location and provides the feeling to live in the middle of a jungle! At the swimming pool, sun beds invite to relax in green environs!
From your room to the pool or to the "Porini Restaurant ", which is part of M18339, and where you have your breakfast in this open plan restaurant amidst the green of tropical plants, you only have to walk a few meters through the lavish garden. The "Porini Restaurant", also called the "Coco De Mer" Restaurant with a long tradition since 1975, is well known for delicious dishes of the Seychelles and of the local kitchen of the coast region.
The inspiring surroundings are being shared by big and small tortoises, monkeys moving through the area now and then, colorful butterflies, as well as birds passing by.
For our 4 Aldabra Giant Tortoises, originating from the Seychelles island of Aldabra, a big outdoor enclosure is being completed. There our guests can visit the animals at any time . Our smaller local tortoises like the hinge back tortoises and the pretty leopard tortoise likewise inhabit an out-door enclosure, which can be entered, and are looking forward to your visit.
For terrapins, Tilapia perches, and other smaller fish a new fishpond has been built in the middle of the garden. The new place also attracts numerous butterflies, dragonflies, and birds and will in the near future certainly become also the home of different kinds of frogs! In the dense foliage dwarf geckos and Tanzanian Skinks got themselves a new domicile and every now and then a chameleon or monitor lizard can be observed in the garden.
In the evenings we can hear the calling of the Bush babes in the trees and palms. As time goes by they become used to their new neighbors in this protected environment and grow to be gradually more trusting. Just like the small African hedgehogs which can often be found in the garden de-pending on the time of the year.
Only our Nile crocodiles, they have in the meantime grown quite considerably, do inhabit a securely enclosed area and do not live freely in the garden!
But M18339 not only offers nature, but also some culture!
Some of the local Giriama live with their families in huts on the property and maintain here their life-style and traditions. These families are demonstrating their music and their dances frequently in the Porini Restaurant, mostly on Weekends and for special functions. Here you will get to Africa even closer.
As had already mentioned, the unusually strong and long rain period very positively influenced the development of the large garden. From scanty scenery and undergrowth it has become a new jungle with many different palms and giant bamboos, Baobabs, banana plants and fruit trees. Some the fruits offered come from our own garden. Besides those one finds cactus, Aloe Vera, Vanilla and other interesting plants.
"Porini" means in the Swahili Language as much as bush and thus the a good 20,000 square meter property have also become again a real Porini, which is home to numerous birds and other animals and offers you an oasis for a quite special vacation!

Can I just say how hard it was to keep this in the fridge an entire day and a half so I could take a picture of it?! If you love pumpkin, you will LOVE this! I'll be honest, my son doesn't like almond butter, or any nut butter for that matter, but he really liked this one and said it reminds him of pumpkin pie. Plus, I was finally able to make nut butter in my Vitamix which was pretty cool, it was much easier than I thought it would be. Just a note: if you do not have a Vitamix, no worries, you can use a food processor.
I wanted to mention as well, in light of the upcoming holiday season, I am going to run a health and fitness group starting November 1st to help you with your goals! Between Halloween and Thanksgiving is the perfect time, because we have 25 Days to really get a routine down. You will get eight 30 minute at-home workouts, a workout schedule, nutrition guide, food lists, meal plans, portion control containers, an insulated tote to take your meals to-go if you need to, plus support and accountability in my private group. In addition to that, you also get 30 Days of Shakeology. I actually made my Vegan Chocolate Shakeology with a Tbsp of this Pumpkin Almond Butter today, it was fantastic! Shakeology is not another protein shake, it is not another low-end product by some pyramid scheme, it is a real food (no junk!) product that delivers nothing but good health and results. We believe this 100% and that is why we have a no-risk 30 day money back guarantee.
I have been drinking Shakeology for 2 years now, and I cannot tell you how many amazing things this packed nutrition shake has done for me. From weight loss to lower blood sugar and cholesterol, no more headaches, no more bloating…and the list goes on. I have had several clients also enjoy the Maca Root affects, this is just one of the 70 SuperFoods in Shakeology! Maca root is a medicinal plant that has been cultivated by Peruvians for the last 3,000 years. The amazing thing about Maca is that it is an adaptogen; meaning that it adapts to the needs of your body. Some of the Maca Root benefits are: It is a natural Aphrodisiac, it promotes hormone and mood balance, fertility, rich in vitamins and minerals, energy boosting, stress relief and clear skin, to name a few. I have 2 clients in particular that thank Shakeology and my Paleo plans for their ability to finally get pregnant…that is beyond words to me! It is so amazing so many people have been able to heal their bodies so much to the point they can extend their families!
So now that you know some of the details about what is going on November 1st, I would love to answer any questions you may have! You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can send me a private message on Facebook, or on my Personal Facebook!
If you would like to add yourself to the event, I can contact you instead. This is the Event Link.
I hope I can help some of you get on track this holiday season! I do run a group every month, so if you cannot make the November 1st group, there will be another one in between Thanksgiving and Christmas!
I hope you enjoy the recipe! As always, if you make it, don't forget to leave a comment, or tag me/hash tag me on Instagram!
2 cups Raw Almonds
1 cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Tbsp Raw Honey or Coconut Sugar
Dash of: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove, Salt (meaning less than 1/4 tsp, it is just a small dash of each)
Using your Vitamix, good blender, or food processor, add all of your ingredients. Blend until smooth.
That's it!
Perfect in shakes, or with apples and celery!

Meredith Psychology Students Examine the 2012 Election
After a seemingly endless campaign, Election Day 2012 has arrived. Meredith Professor of Psychology Cynthia Edwards asked students in her social psychology course to offer psychological explanations as to why this election cycle has been so divisive.
Here are some of their theories.
Caught in the middle
Voters today experience cognitive dissonance regularly, as they are bombarded with non-stop campaign advertisements. Oftentimes, one ad may be in direct response to another on the same subject. It seems like they are in the middle with the ball being passed over their heads.
When their minds holding two ideas simultaneously that are inconsistent with one another, they will be quick to discredit the source that seems most contradictory to their belief.
Once people make up their mind, they are likely to stick with their choice. At this point, individuals seek affirmation that they are making the right decision.
Voters then justify their choice with information that presents their choice as correct, and discount evidence that would suggest otherwise. Social psychologists refer to this phenomenon as confirmation bias.
Mirroring the candidates
During the debates, chivalry was largely abandoned between the initial handshake and the families mingling afterwards. The candidates were blatantly aggressive, at times yelling, interrupting, and using aggressive hand gestures and facial expressions.
Partisan viewers of the debate tend to agree with their candidate. If the candidate is being aggressive to the opposition, viewers learn it is acceptable to also be aggressive to the opposition and behave in a similar fashion.
Appeal to emotions
Candidates have a keen ability to tap into voters psyche on a very personal and emotional level. They relate their potential policies to aspects that are very personal in the every day lives of the electorate.
When a person feels they are emotionally attached to one of the candidates, they can act emotionally to someone who might put down their candidate, or disagree with them. In some instances, even becoming irritable because an attack on a candidate is perceived as also an attack on them personally.
This social psychology class project has earned coverage in The News & Observer's Under the Dome , StudentAdvisor.com and CollegeXpress.com.

U.S. should look into outsourcing of prisoners
Here we go again. Judge James Reilley has placed a man on probation for a second or third offense of attempted sexual contact with female minors. I will, however, agree that the district attorney's office played along with the deal, just to get the defendant to a plea bargain.
I also read in Yahoo this morning that a judge gave a man a sentence of one year after he and some of his cohorts beat a man severely, causing him to be hospitalized.
Now I realize that we have more crooks than we have room to place them. Does that say something for our culture? But there is a solution. If the large corporations are able to send their jobs and profits overseas, why can't we send our prisoners overseas and have them serve their sentences there? I am sure those Third World countries would love to have the business. Of course we would have to have our own people supervising, but that's no big deal.
Maybe we have to have a couple of our so-called leaders (judges, mayors, governors, council members, Congress members, etc.) affected, with their own children being victims. Maybe then something will change.
Oh, one last thought. If it's illegal to send our prisoners overseas, then all we do is change the law and the prisoners union can lump it.

NO EXIT Opens 7/28 at Long Beach Playhouse
Jean-Paul Sartre's existential masterpiece No Exit opens at the Long Beach Playhouse on July 28. The play centers on three characters: two women and one man who are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in hell. The windows don't exist; there are no mirrors; the electric lights can never be turned off; and no exit. The irony of this hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned.
"No Exit has long been a favorite of mine. It challenges our perceptions and suggests that Hell just might be spending eternity with just a few select people," said Andrew Vonderschmitt, Executive and Producing Artistic Director of the Playhouse.
For this production, Vonderschmitt also serves as the play's director. His job will be to take the audience into the physical place of Hell, but more importantly into the tortured minds of the three people who find themselves imprisoned by the choices made during their time on earth. And to bring forth the personality traits that make them so troubling to one another.
"In a way these characters are like pinballs pinging off one another. There is no way to see out, no way to see a reflection that isn't filtered by the perception of the others in the room. The light is always on, there's no place to hide," said Vonderschmitt. "Manipulations, fabrications, denials all serve to illustrate the human failings of each character. In the end, we find that 'Hell is just other people.'"
- Pay what you can Thursday July 24 - community can see this production for whatever they can afford
- Two for One Preview Friday July 25 - Tickets are $12.00
- Opening Night Champagne Reception with cast on July 26- Tickets are $27.00
Adults are $24.00, seniors $21.00, and Students $14.00.
Tickets are available at www.lbplayhouse.org, or by calling 562-494-1014, option 1.
Long Beach Playhouse is located at 5021 E. Anaheim St., Long Beach, CA, 90804, right across from the Long Beach Recreation golf course. The Playhouse is community-supported theatre with programs and events that cut across age, gender, ethnic, and cultural boundaries.
Performances are 8 p.m. Friday, and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. The box office is open Wednesday-Saturday from 3:00-8:00 pm and Sundays from 1:00-2:00 pm on scheduled matinees.

Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine Details Gene Modification Work
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JUDY WOODRUFF: And now, the Nobel Prize in Medicine for pioneering work in the field of genetics. Gwen Ifill has the story.
GWEN IFILL: This year's prize was awarded to a trio of scientists for modifying genes in mice and creating better animal models for understanding human disease. The Nobel Committee said the scientists' work is "being applied to virtually all areas of biomedicine."
Mario Capecchi is one of the winners. He joins us tonight from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, where he is a professor of biology and human genetics.
First of all, Professor Capecchi, congratulations.
MARIO CAPECCHI, Winner, Nobel Prize in Medicine: Good evening. Thank you.
GWEN IFILL: So the best successful description I heard of your work today described it as you're creating designer mice. Is that accurate?
MARIO CAPECCHI: That is accurate. What we can do is to change the DNA, the composition of the genes, in any way that one can conceive of, for example, inactivate a particular gene, and then look at the effects of that inactivation on the mouse, and thereby infer the function of those genes.
GWEN IFILL: And when you say "inactivation," is that like a scientific process of elimination?
MARIO CAPECCHI: For example, a gene is made up of four letters. It's the sequence of four letters. Instead of using 26 letters, it's written in a language of four letters. And one thing we can do is simply delete out that text and then say, what happens to that mouse?
GWEN IFILL: And in the case of the mice that you are looking at here, there's no limit — the desire or the good thing that you get out of this is that there's no limit on the uses of this kind of manipulated genetic material.
MARIO CAPECCHI: That's correct. I mean, one use, for example, is to model different genetic diseases. An example would be cancer. Make a mouse modeled with a particular cancer, use the mouse to study that cancer, and then, once we understand it, then use it also to develop therapies.
Using stem cells to fight disease
GWEN IFILL: And what other kinds of diseases? You said cancer, but that's not the only example here. Even though I know there were three of you and you each worked on a different segment of this...
MARIO CAPECCHI: That's right. No, it could be blood pressure, high blood pressure. It could be psychological disorders. It could be heart disease. It's applicable to all diseases, because all of them have a genetic component. Some of them are only caused by a single gene mutation; others are more complex.
GWEN IFILL: One of the very first things that we all thought, laypeople here, as we read about this, this morning, is we saw the term "embryonic stem cells," and immediately that stirred up the nature of the human embryonic stem cell debate we've been having. Is this very much the same or very much different?
MARIO CAPECCHI: Well, we use embryonic stem cells to do our experiments. The actual initial genetic modifications are done in embryonic stem cells of mouse. And then you use those cells then by reintroducing them back into a pre--implantation embryo to generate a mouse with that genetic modification.
And the cells that we introduce contribute to making all the tissues of the mouse -- hair, skin, liver, every tissue -- but, most importantly, also the germ cells, that is the eggs and the sperm, and thereby propagating that mutation or change that we introduced into the DNA to many generations of mice. And we can then generate as many of those mice as we want in order to study, for example, cancer, or heart disease, or a psychiatric disorder.
GWEN IFILL: Or cystic fibrosis, I read today.
MARIO CAPECCHI: Or cystic fibrosis is an excellent example of a single gene defect.
GWEN IFILL: So this has been going on for some time. This is not a brand-new strain of research. In fact, you won the Lasker Prize, kind of the pre-Nobel for this, already. So how much farther do you have to go following this strain of research?
MARIO CAPECCHI: Well, I think we can go on for quite a while. For example, instead of just inactivating the gene, now we have the capability of inactivating the gene in a specific cell type and at a particular time chosen by the investigator, for example, by introducing a small molecule by injecting it into the bloodstream of the mouse.
So that allows us to control very precisely where the defect occurs and when it occurs. And this becomes very important, for example, if you want to study how the brain works. Is a gene involved in initial acquisition information, the storage of that information, or the retrieval of that information? And so you have very different time points in order to see, when is that gene active? And you want to have that ability to do those manipulations.
Capecchi's life in science
GWEN IFILL: How did you come to this point in your life, Professor Capecchi? You have an interesting childhood story, and you've come quite some distance from then.
MARIO CAPECCHI: Yes, it started out fairly bleak. I grew up in Italy during the Second World War. And I lived in the streets for many years, from four-and-a-half until I was nine. And then, fortunately, the war ended. My mother was released from Dachau. She took about a year-and-a-half to retrace my footsteps, found me, and then brought me to the United States. And there my schooling started.
GWEN IFILL: Do you think some of that experience taught you how to be persistent, perhaps, in coming up with solutions like this?
MARIO CAPECCHI: Yes. Some people say stubborn rather than persistent, but I like to consider it as persistence...
GWEN IFILL: This is the second...
MARIO CAPECCHI: ... and, also, I think it's resourceful. I think, you know, you have to take care of yourself, and you can only depend on yourself in order to accomplish a particular goal. And that's essentially what you also have to do in science. You initially get some funds, and then you have to use your own resources in order to utilize those funds effectively.
Focusing on predictive research
GWEN IFILL: This is the second year in a row that the medicine prize of the Nobel has gone to genetics research. I wonder if that's now where it's at in science and whether that means that everyone is beginning to see this as a way of being predictive in our medicine rather than reactive.
MARIO CAPECCHI: No, I think it certainly is true, it is important to be predictive. That is, in a sense, really understand the problem, design drugs that are -- I mean, for example, with neuropsychiatric disorders right now, we simply try drugs off the shelf. If they work, we continue to use them. If they don't work, we move onto another. But we don't have a real understanding of what that drug is doing.
But once you understand how the brain works, then you will be able to design drugs that are specific, for example, for monopolar depression, or schizophrenia, or any OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, whatever. So I think you need an understanding, a deep understanding of the pathology, and then, once you have that, then you can design a drug that's very specific.
GWEN IFILL: Well, thank you for sharing some of your deep understanding with us, Professor Mario Capecchi. Once again, congratulations.
MARIO CAPECCHI: It's been my pleasure. Thank you very much for having me on.
GWEN IFILL: Happy to.

Thieves Target Columbus Business 3 Times In 7 Months
A Columbus business owner says he cannot afford to stay in business after another break-in at his east Columbus store.
The latest break-in happened overnight Tuesday at United Cellular in the 3400 block of East Broad Street.
The owner, who asked not to be identified, said that thieves entered the building by climbing onto the roof and drilling through a cinderblock wall.
Surveillance cameras captured the masked suspect dodging cameras.
The owner says the suspect made multiple trips and stole $7,000 in cellphones and accessories.
Last month, surveillance cameras captured two unmasked thieves commit a similar crime.
The owner says he is counting on police and the public to help solve these crimes.

Told me "everything is gluten free" because they don't use processed foods. After 30 seconds, added that the bun isn't gluten-free. They had no concept of cross-contamination. They used the same cutting board for cutting the buns and the avocado for the fish taco, so my husband got that one, and the press for warming up the tortilla for the taco looked like they used it also for the tortilla. The kale salad came with a brown sauce, so I asked the co-owner if it was gluten-free, like was there any soy sauce in it. He said there was soy because it was miso. I said soy is fine, but sometimes miso has barley in it to help it ferment. He looked at me like I had 3 heads, which was surprising because he's the beer brewing guy. He went and checked the miso ingredients, and told me it was soy, but still didn't address my question whether it was with barley or rice. Not surprising, but I got mildly glutened.

Letter: Needless loss of Frieri a loss for veterans
To the editor of THE EAGLE:
Over the past several weeks the mayor of Pittsfield Daniel Bianchi and the Veterans Services officer of Pittsfield, Rosanne Frieri, have been in the papers quite a lot. The ongoing dispute is affecting not only the vacant Veterans Services office, it has left Ms. Frieri suspended without pay. [She has not been dismissed.] My information comes from public statements in the press, yet my observations come from talking with fellow citizens, representatives and personnel experience leading a 1,000-person organization.
First, this is a personnel issue between an employer and an employee but each employee is protected by established personnel policies. I am not an expert on all the personnel policies of the city but as a member of the Pittsfield Affirmative Action Committee, I can attest that the Affirmative Action plan states there will be formal and informal methods to resolve complaints in the work place. I therefore believe that an employee who has an impeccable personnel file should not have been suspended without pay for not meeting with the mayor without a requested third party present.
Dispute resolution entails engaging the personnel director in direct consultation whenever an employee expresses concern over the work place environment. Ms. Frieri expressed such concern with the personnel office when directed to meet the mayor in his office. She requested a third party be involved. This was not an unreasonable request. I believe if their misunderstanding was mediated it could have been resolved expeditiously and the Veterans Service office would have been appropriately staffed for the past three weeks.
Over the past few weeks the mayor's release of two-year-old letters from several veterans organizations not having confidence in the veterans service officer is suspect for several reasons. First, if it was relevant it should have been addressed in a timely fashion during an annual employee review. Second, the "unanimous" decision of the organizations does not mean every card-carrying member. I have been a member of several of these organizations and it generally means those who were at the meeting, which is far less than "unanimous."
In this time frame Ms. Frieri had an additional duty, not part of her job description, but one she executed brilliantly for the city. She was responsible for organizing and serving as the master of ceremony for the Veterans Day Memorial rededication. Several local organizations took exception to her performing that role -- coincidence?
The Veterans Service office provides a knowledgeable veteran who assists other veterans in filling out federal, state and local assistance forms. It is not trained or staffed to handle PTSD veterans. They have referral numbers of people who can help those in this urgent situation. The young infantry man from Lenox needed help from the Veterans Administration (letter, Aug. 20.) The VA is the expert in this field and I am glad he is being helped through their specialty programs. I do not know what took place between Ms. Frieri and this soldier but I have known Rosanne for nearly 20 years. She would never disrespect the uniform or the person who proudly served our country in one. She treats every veteran with the respect they deserve, all 4 foot 10 inches and 95 pounds of her; she is hardly the bullying type.
Ms. Frieri has done a tremendous job increasing the visibility of the Veterans Services office, assisted a growing number of veterans and expanded the budget many times over. She has an unblemished personnel file and until this unresolved dispute has served this city with distinction.
I urge the mayor to review the circumstances involved in this misunderstanding. Could it have been handled differently? Would walking upstairs with the personnel director or a trained mediator been an insurmountable task? I think not. I know from personal experience that as the leader of an organization, walking into a subordinate's office and asking for a moment of their time resolves almost every misunderstanding. It's time to get Rosanne back to work, Mr. Mayor. You can do this, please do.
The retired as a retired colonel, United states Air Force.

Query planner engineering is hard, because it's hard to predict what kind of queries people will write, but this seems basically sane to me. Given that (if I recall our previous discuss on this point correctly) we avoid generating parameterized paths in situations where we could have simply revised the join order instead, we should only really be getting any parameterized paths at all in situations where they are likely to help. Queries involving only inner joins, for example, should never need a parameterized path covering more than a single baserel; and even if you've got outer joins in the mix, most of my queries tend to look like A IJ B IJ C IJ D LJ E LJ F LJ G, rather than A IJ (B LJ C) which is where we actually need this machinery. If we spend a little more effort in that case it's quite likely to be worth it; the trick is just to keep the extra work from bleeding into the cases where it won't help. > 3.

It doesn't really matter in <= 9.1 because in an old-style parameterized nestloop the join filter is going to get applied immediately after the index filter anyway, though I guess it's possible that you might save a little bit by optimizing the order in which multiple filter conditions are applied. But if there can be intermediate joins in there then it's a big deal; and the fact that it makes it easier to compare paths and prune away bad ones earlier seems like a major benefit as well. So I would be in favor of doing this if possible, but... > I'm going to take a closer look at #3, but it may not be practical to > try to squeeze it into 9.2; if not, I think #1 will do as a stopgap. ....I agree with this, too. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Right. But since libdpkg is still a part of the dpkg package we shouldn't need to worry at the moment.

Also an Anonymous brony on /co/ is posting episode summaries up to the very end of season 1, with all sorts of things that would excite any FiM fan. I'm still waiting on the legitimacy of these, but for now, here are the next 4 CONFIRMED episodes. I will add the others in another post if they are actually real.
Episode 13: Fall Weather Friends

Airs: February 4, 2011
Synopsis: Rarity becomes overwhelmed by details as she makes party dresses for her friends.
(Incoming awesome Rarity OCD episode!)

The rest are all unconfirmed and probably fake, but if they are true, we can expect to see what appears to be an awesome Luna/Celestia story arc in the future.*edit* the person posting the descriptions admitted to them being fake. They sounded so amazing too... Sad rarity is sad.
