Sundays capture of Seif al-Islam Gadhafi by rebels appears to bring to a close the diplomatic career of a man widely seen as destined to succeed his father as leader of Libya and its vast oil wealth.
Mr. Gadhafi, 39 years old, just months ago was widely credited as the brains behind Tripolis rapprochement with the West and Libyas efforts to shed its rogue-state image.
Mr. Gadhafi never held a formal government position and often was locked in intense power struggles with other members of Col. Moammar Gadhafis family and inner circle, according to U.S. and European officials. But Seif al-Islam used his fluent English, British education and global charity, the Gadhafi International Foundation, to play a major role in events cross the Islamic world, Europe and U.S. for two decades.
He also developed a reputation as a renaissance man and international playboy before political crisis gripped his country this year. He worked as an artist and architect and was regularly spotted among the international jet set in Monaco, St, Tropez and Montenegro.
Mr. Gadhafi first attracted international attention in the mid-1990s when he helped the Philippines Catholic-dominant government reach a peace agreement with Muslim separatists on the island of Mindanao. The pact eventually broke down, but Seif al-Islam used the experience to position himself as a diplomatic facilitator and bridge between Islam and the West. (...)(...more)

TortoiseSVN on Wine / Crossover
From: <jason_at_dev.nul>
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 14:48:37 -0800 (PST)
I'm testing TortoiseSVN on OSX using Crossover (Wine). There's obviously no Finder (shell) integration, but when using the command line it actually looks like it is very close to being usable. All local file operations seem to work, but when the server is involved (commit, update, etc) there is a "Network socket initialization failed" error. (screenshots attached)
I was wondering if anybody else is testing this & has a solution? If not, does this seem like an issue for the Tortoise or Wine team?

I currently work at Sheffield Ski Village, but it looks like another member of staff beat me to it here!
I've spent a lot of time riding and training in loads of resorts / facilities. As dry slopes go, SSV isn't bad. There are plenty of facilities, on and off the slope including plenty of freestyle features (they have their very own airbag! Not something you see very often.)
The main slope is split into two. One is more for standard riding and the other takes you through the freestyle features. Surfaces are made of both Snowflex and Dendex (think astroturf only white)
SSV has some great instructors and all the staff are friendly and helpful. Loads of really great boarders and skiers train regularly.
Personally I don't think that dry slopes can compare with real snow. I find that when I'm teaching students on snow, they can reach twice the standard in half the time as they can on dry slope. I've been told it's better for skiing than it is for snowboarding, but as I don't really ski too any high enough standard to tell, I won't comment. I can say that I find it tricky to ride on dry slopes and I'm an instructor who's been snowboarding for 10 years. But, if you learn on dry slope, you'll be able to ride just about any snow! There are so many indoor snowdomes in easy reach of Sheffield. It was actually proposed to update SSV to an indoor snow slope a few years back, but it was declined. This makes me really sad. An indoor snow slope here would do brilliantly!
The slope and some facilities are badly in need to repair. Much of the matting is getting worn, and the equipment has seen better days.
But the adventure playgrounds and the quad bikes are amazing. They have really tasty curly fries and it's in SHEFFIELD!!
ps. I just read the other two reviews. They're both from like, 10 years ago. They're very out of date, SSV has changed hands several times since then and LOADS is different. Read those reviews with a pinch of salt maybe.
I work at Sheffield Ski Village and I love it to pieces (but don't think that that makes my opinion biased because I am going to tell you all the problems with it aswell). I think it has to be the best artificial slope in this country. I have always lived in Sheffield (except for my time at university) and I have been skiing for about 9 years. My first ever lesson was taken at Sheffield Ski Village and I thought it was absolutely brilliant back then. Over the past year, however, the slope has undergone some major improvements making it one of the most respected ski slopes in the country (from both a skier and a boarder point of view). The slope itself has 3 main slopes, a set of small beginner slopes, two moguls fields, a 65m half-pipe, a big air jump, a quarter-pipe, a cornice drop, and a 20m rail-slide. As if this wasn't enough, they also have two huge aerial jumps which land you in a pool of water. Having worked here for about 4 months (by working there for 6 hours a week I get to use the slope as much as I like and have free lessons) I have used it quite extensively. I have skied, boarded and bladed on it, and I think it is great for all of them. There is no other slope in the country that can compete with Sheffield as far as the fun park is concerned. To be honest with you, this is the only part of the slope that I use any more. This fun park slope is covered in the new "Snowflex" virtual snow. This kind of matting is complete like a carpet (unlike the honeycomb shape of the older Dendex matting). It is thicker than Dendex matting and a lot more forgiving if you fall on it. Some of the guys up at the slope are launching them 11 feet out of the half-pipe with nice comfortable landings. On the big air jump, it is not uncommon to see someone doing a front-flip. A lot of people have a lot of confidence in this matting (me included). I feel totally safe skiing on it. I could go on for ages saying
how much I love the half-pip and all the jumps but that would probably bore you. However, I will say that the fun park has been the venue for many national competitions. In fact, the Salomon Open was held at Sheffield in October 2000 and this attracted a few European riders as well. The ski school is very good. I know many of the instructors personally and they are all tremendous skiers. They are all well trained and most of them have great personalities, which always makes it easier for someone to learn. OK, now to the disadvantages I promised. The other slopes that are covered with Dendex are old. The Dendex matting is very worn on them, making them unpleasant to ski on when it has been sunny. They are by no means useless, in fact, we quite often hold slalom races on them with some of the best dry slope skiers in the country (I am supposed to take part in one this weekend, wish me luck). Another annoyance is the standard of the hire skis here. Many of them are quite old with very blunt edges. A lot of them have been re-based and service many times. However, they do have a selection of new carving ski, Salomon X-Screams, Salomon 1080s, and Salomon SnowBlades (I guess they like Salomon) which slopes users can get if they pay a little extra (the carving skis do not cost extra, but the X-Scream, 1080s and SnowBlades are an extra £2 for 2 hours). My final gripe is the price to use the slope. I have skied on quite a few dry ski slopes around the country and Sheffield has a higher price than most others. A current price list can be obtained from their website, but prices at the moment are about £13 for an hour (including slope use, and hire). This high price was the reason I started working at the slope. I do love the slope, and as my title says I am up they a lot. Since I started working at the slope I have taken up freeride skiing and there is no better place in this country for me to train.
This is the coolest and the best by far dry ski slope, or even artificially made slope in Britain. It's better than the Snowdome in Tamworth, but unfortunately doesn?t get as much hype. SNOWPLEX: I was amazed when I stood at the bottom of this recently upgraded slope. They have just recently changed the material of the right-hand side slope. Instead of the usual that most people are used to (the matting with the regular arrangement of diagonal holes, backed with metal) they now have 'snowplex', I know it as. This has no regular lattice of holes; instead it is full completely with the white stuff. It is up to 12 inches thick in certain places, and is very soft. It is so lush to ride. And it is also far safer, with softer landings if you fall, and you no longer have the problem of getting your hands trapped in the holes, which has led to very painful accidents in the past. There was also an older slope, made from the original stuff, on which mostly beginners rode on. It wasn't very nice, or easy to ride for me. I was trying out an up and coming sport called SKI BOARDING during my visit there. If you want to know more about that sport, you'll find it under 'sport equipment > Salamon'. Or, 'Ski and Snowboarding > Both'. Check it out. The first thing I found different abou their slope was the lift, it was a T-bar lift. Firstly it was twice as fast as the one I'm used to. It wasn't that hard to get used to though. HALF-PIPE!!!! The main attraction however, which is so cool, is the huge half-pipe at the top of the slope. Also made of the new snowplex material, it felt great to ride. With the run up to it you could get some good height, I was most impressed with one snowboarder gaining sick air of the lip, and pulling of some sweet grabs! BOX JUMP It gets better: running off from the left-hand side of the half-pipe was a box-jump. This basically cons
isted of a very steep slope, dropping down towards the turn-up of the ramp below. This gives enough speed to get huge air, enough to fit in a flip. Then there is a straight run down towards the finish. These two are so conveniently placed, allowing you to make a great run, with a good combo of tricks in each run. That's if you?re good enough of course. I have also heard that they now have a quarter-pipe, and a grind rail towards the bottom of the slope. BIG AIR!!! I almost forgot (that's because there's no way you'd ever get me doing this!), but there are these two, very long, very steep, and dangerously narrow runs leading down towards two big ramps. If you've got the guts to going down either of these tracks, you would soon find yourself being elevated up a ramp high into the air, and back down into a big pool of cold, cold water. Giving you loads of air time to put as many tricks into one combo, or to try and triple backflip or something crazy like that. Unfortunately during my visit there was no one mad enough to attempt it. The rest of the venue was very good too. They have a nice bar serving good, but expensive food, and then lots of conveniently placed vending machines. They also a Snow and Rock store there. This is a good store supplying lots of clothes and equipment for out door and snow activities. For the day, it cost me around £16 including ski pass, and all day access to the slope. That didn?t however include costs of hire, as we took our own equipment, and then there are the costs of food and travel. I expect it amounts to a total of about £25 for the day there. But it really is worth it, a great experience and chance to test and develop your abilities. My only quibble is that is so inconveniently placed, in Sheffield towards the north. However, there is also the Snowdome in Tamworth, which has also had recent developments, and various other places, such as the Glouce
ster ski and snowboard centre, which has a quarter-pipe made of snowplex, and has big plans for one of their slopes. The Sheffield Ski Village also offers lessons on snowboarding and skiing. I'm not sure about the ski boarding. You can contact them to find out more on: 0114 276 9459

New York City is a mecca for all things art. People get inspired when they are in New York and creativity flows heavy. French born artist WK is no exception to this rule. The New York based artist opened up his 360 exhibit last week at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. The 360 exhibit is a presentation of the artist's 25 year career. He used cardboard, paper panels and all kinds of materials to create his work. Aside from hand painted, drawn and collaged pieces, WK has photographs of his early material that help document his evolution as a street artist. His work is detailed and full of emotion. Using dark colors in different shades to express intensity, he conveys his message clearly for the viewer. Definitely worth seeing live.
The 360 exhibit will be on display from March 8 until the 30th in New York City at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. Check the gallery of pics after the jump and be sure to stop by the exhibit to show WK's exhibit some love.

hi baker friends! i have had cookies from two different bakeries in my area and they are both of the same consistency....sugar cookies that have a somewhat crispy bottom....any suggestions on where i might find a recipe like this? i have searched everywhere and even tried to bake some that claimed they were 'crispy' with no luck... these cookies are decorated with both royal icing and white chocolate and both have this same texture. they are fabulous....any suggestions would be absolutely fabulous! xo
most l likely baked in a convection oven.
I have baked a ton of cookies. I find that the cookie I bake on my Airbake trays come out with the consistency you are looking for. Try one of those trays.

Hi all,
I am having problem in filtering the changes from x->1 and x->0 on a singal which i use to generate events.
For example,
I have a simple port "a" of type in, which is connected to a DUT signal. DUT drives x on the signal "a" for some time initially
(10ns) and then drives the value 1. I declared an event as shown below. clk_r is a clock rising event. The first clk_r event is available
well after signal "a" settles with the value 1.
event a_e is rise(a$)@clk_r;
Because of the change from x->1 on the signal "a", i receive an event on a_e on the first clk_r event.
Can anyone suggest me how i can filter this unwanted event.
By default, ICC records transitions 1 -> 0 and 0 -> 1. To record transitions X -> 0 and
Consider transition 0 -> X -> 1 -> 0 -> X -> 1.In the absence of the set_toggle_includex command,
In the absence of the set_toggle_includex command,
■ The number of rise transitions is 0.
With this command,
■ The number of rise transitions is 2 (X -> 1 and X -> 1).
■ The number of fall transitions is 1 (1 -> 0).
In reply to MDK1234:
Hi MDK1234,
Thanks for your reply. I created a work around for my issue by using the reset signal and ignoring the initial transitions from x->1 by checking if the reset is true.
Thanks again for your reply.

Thommie Walsh, Dancer and Tony Winner, Dies at 57
By CHARLES ISHERWOOD
Published: June 19, 2007
Thommie Walsh, a Tony-winning choreographer who also created the role of Bobby in the original production of ''A Chorus Line,'' died Saturday at his mother's home in Auburn, N.Y. He was 57.
The cause was complications of lymphoma, said his manager, Robert Duva.
As a dance-maker, Mr. Walsh was best known for his collaborations with Tommy Tune, the lanky performer, choreographer and director who was among Broadway's leading figures in the 1980s. Mr. Walsh received his two Tony Awards for choreography for collaborating with Mr. Tune in 1980 on ''A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine'' and in 1983 on ''My One and Only,'' in which Mr. Tune starred.
Mr. Walsh also shared a Tony nomination with Mr. Tune for directing ''My One and Only'' and received a Tony nomination for the choreography of ''Nine,'' directed by Mr. Tune.
Although they first worked together as dancers on Broadway in the show ''Seesaw,'' their choreographic collaboration began on ''The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,'' directed by Peter Masterson and Mr. Tune and choreographed by Mr. Tune. On that ribald musical comedy, about sex and money in the Lone Star State, Mr. Walsh received his first Broadway dance-making credit, as associate choreographer.
Like many Broadway choreographers, Mr. Walsh began his career as a performer. Born on March 15, 1950, he was taking dancing classes by the age of 5 at the Irma Baker School of Dance in upstate New York. By 1973, he was dancing on Broadway as a member of the chorus, under the name Thomas J. Walsh, in ''Seesaw,'' directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett.
After appearing in one of the more notorious flops of the 1970s, ''Rachael Lily Rosenbloom and Don't You Ever Forget It,'' which closed before it opened on Broadway, Mr. Walsh won the role of Bobby in ''A Chorus Line,'' the landmark musical directed and choreographed by Mr. Bennett, about the lives and loves of the gypsy dancers of Broadway. (Bobby talked about breaking into people's houses to rearrange the furniture.)
Mr. Walsh, who was involved the workshops from which the show was developed, would later express ambivalence about how the dancers were treated during the process. They were persuaded to sign away rights to profits from any merchandising for $1, and ultimately the cast received only 1 percent of the royalties.
Mr. Walsh helped set the record straight about the gestation of the show as a co-author, with Baayork Lee (a fellow original cast member) and the journalist Robert Viagas, of a book about the musical called ''On the Line: The Creation of 'A Chorus Line,' '' published by William Morrow in 1990.
''Basically, we were cheated out of a lot of money,'' Mr. Walsh said in the book. ''People are living in the Hamptons because of 'A Chorus Line.' None of us are.''
''A Chorus Line'' was Mr. Walsh's last Broadway appearance as a performer. He left the company after two years and embarked upon a career as a record promoter while also beginning to choreograph.
Mr. Walsh's other Broadway credits were for musical staging on the shows ''The 1940s Radio Hour'' (1979), ''Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?'' (1982) and ''My Favorite Year'' (1993).
Mr. Walsh also directed the Off Broadway musical ''Lucky Stiff'' and provided staging and choreography for nightclub acts and solo spots for performers including Donna McKechnie and Priscilla Lopez (two more alumni of the original cast of ''Chorus Line''), as well as for Chita Rivera, Sandy Duncan and Barbara Cook. He also worked on regional theater productions and in 2001 directed and choreographed the national tour of ''Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,'' starring Ann-Margret and Gary Sandy.
In recent years Mr. Walsh worked as a real estate agent in Manhattan, where he lived.
He is survived by his mother, Ellie Walsh, and a sister, Barbara Walsh.

The Security Office in ITS-Network services has become aware of multiple attempts to conduct social engineering attacks against UNI employees. The attack originates as an off-campus phone call purportedly from a technical support person and they attempt to instruct the user to install malicious software on the computer claiming that the software is needed to fix the computer. This software can then be used to steal information stored on the computer, to conduct further attacks, or to participate in other illegal activities. Similar attacks will attempt to get users to disclose their passwords.
If you are uncertain of the legitimacy of any call from IT staff, politely inform them of your concerns, hang up, and call your usual support number directly. Further, never provide your passwords to anyone. UNI will not ask for your passwords. If asked to provide your password, end the conversation immediately.
Please report any instances of such attacks by emailing email@example.com.

MANIFESTO FOR THE CULTURALLY conscious CREATOR IN YOU
We question the norm and rally for acceptance of people regardless of race, gender, nationality, religion, or sexuality. We use our talents to open the world to love and possibility.
Our past solidifies us, but doesn't define us. We are blunt and bold about wrongs, but turn our energies towards what is right. We validate the experiences of the marginalized, and show the world we are more. We are creators, we are innovators, we are movers. We love our history and use that to fuel the fire for our futures. We experience different lives but share common bonds.
We defy odds, we break barriers, we take risks that we almost can't afford. We dance on stereotypes and champion identity bending trends. We push a society that isn't always supportive of us to be better for the generations after us. Our lives and our work are intertwined - we use them to leave our positive marks on this Earth.
Our vision is multi-colored, multi-cultural, and always present.

You have to admit Yau plays the game hard. He's not weak or slow. And he's not overly "polite" to get what he wants. He's a tough bugger.
I'm still a Yau fan. Loved what he did to Fairplay. Priceless!
I laughed my ass off when he pushed Fairplay out of the way for the idol. One of the best moments ever in Survivor history.
Put me in a special school, 'Cause I am such a fool.

If Yau-Man gets voted out soon and we get another chance to vote $ to someone we like, so far he has my vote.
On the Fairplay thread it says JFP keeps in touch with Yau-Man!! All I can say is Yau is way too polite! Or JFP really has changed.
Actually, JFP claims he keeps in touch with Yau Man. JFP also claims he is the best Survivor in the history of the game Take it for what it's worth......nothingOriginally Posted by PWS;2789610;

It was cool how he made fire by using his the lens in this glasses and a drop of water! He's like Yau-MaGyver!
Excellent point, Shady! And Kocky, love the Yau-McGiver image. Did you notice that while he was busily making fire the others seemed to be floating around in the water? Not all such great workers it would seem....Originally Posted by Shady64;2789666;
It seems that way on the surface. However, it's more likely they are working smart instead of hard. Because of their past experience they didn't work as hard as the 'fans', but managed to eat well, build a much better shelter, and obtain fire while the 'fans' had 'none of the above'.Originally Posted by PWS;2791376;
Because we'll never tire of seeing his head slam into the boat (and really, he tripped and fell more than Yau-Man pushed him ):

It's no secret that Big Data is having a positive impact on the contact center industry. And as businesses are faced with growing amounts of data on everything from the effectiveness of their marketing strategy to individual customer preferences, it is important to identify the right systems to make use of this information.
In today's Big Data age, businesses are increasingly turning to analytics as the means by which to make smarter business decisions from the data at their fingertips. In fact, a recent study found that top-performing organizations are using analytics five times more than lower performers. This is a true testament to the power businesses can unlock from great analytics.
While most organizations can agree on the burgeoning need for analytics products in the contact center, there is still some debate around how to best use these solutions to improve business outcomes. Arnab Mishra, senior vice president of products and solutions at Transera, a cloud contact center analytics provider, shares the top five ways that contact centers can utilize analytics to make better business decisions.

Here are the latest updates on notable player injuries in Week 7 games:
- Texans coach Gary Kubiak said WR Andre Johnson went to a Houston hospital for further examination on a chest contusion that he suffered during the fourth quarter against the 49ers. Johnson, a three-time Pro Bowler, returned for one play after hurting his chest, then came out of the game for good.
- Jets RB Leon Washington suffered a broken fibula against the Raiders and underwent surgery Sunday night in Oakland. According to the Jets, Washington is out indefinitely and is not necessarily headed directly to injured reserve. Jets DE Shaun Ellis also left with an ankle injury, but he was questionable to return.

- The Steelers lost DE Travis Kirschke (calf) and LB Lawrence Timmons (ankle) to injuries during the fourth quarter against the Vikings.

- Panthers TE Dante Rosario (knee) and S Charles Godfrey (ankle) were injured against the Bills.
- Chiefs C Rudy Niswanger injured his left knee during the first quarter against the Chargers and couldn't continue. Wade Smith moved to center, and Barry Richardson took over at left tackle.

Also injured for the 49ers were LB Takeo Spikes (right shoulder strain), DT Justin Smith (left calf strain), NT Aubrayo Franklin (right knee strain) and LB Marques Harris (hamstring strain), according to The Associated Press.
- Rams starters OG Richie Incognito (left foot), WR Donnie Avery (ribs, shoulder) and CB Bradley Fletcher (hyperextended right knee) suffered injuries against the Colts.

WISCONSIN NEWS ROUNDUP: Gas prices 18 cents lower than a month ago
Wisconsin gas prices are 18 cents lower than a month ago. The Triple-"A" said regular fuel sold for an average of 3.54-a-gallon throughout the state this morning. That's down from 3.60 a week ago, and 3.72 at this time in June. Experts cite a lack of the most severe weather throughout the country, with no emergency refinery shutdowns. Darrell DeHaan of GasBuddy-Dot-Com says we've probably seen our peak prices for the year -- and they should stay within the mid-three-dollar range in the Milwaukee area for the next month or two. The Triple-"A" said Wisconsin fuel prices peaked at 3.73-a-gallon around Memorial Day. While conflicts keep flaring up in Israel and the Ukraine, Nick Jarmusz of the Wisconsin Triple-"A" says they're not affecting the flow oil from the Middle East like the violence in Iraq could have done.
With the governor's race in a dead heat, Republican Scott Walker says the key to his re-election is for his supporters to call voters and knock on their doors. A new Marquette Law School poll released yesterday shows Walker leads Democrat Mary Burke 46-to-45 percent among registered voters -- while Burke has a 47-46 edge over those likely to vote in November. Both are well within the margin of error, and poll director Charles Franklin says nothing has statistically changed since the last survey in May. Burke said she's glad to be leading among likely voters for the first time -- although the error margin puts that in doubt. Also, just under half of voters said they still don't know enough about Burke to form an opinion of her. Burke's campaign is trying to fix that with ads that profile her business experience with her family's Trek Bicycle company -- which Walker has criticized lately for shipping jobs to China. Three-fourths of respondents in the Marquette poll said they were aware of the now-halted John Doe probe into Walker's campaign activities in the recall elections. Of those, 54-percent said it was just more politics.
House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan is unveiling a new package today which aims to fight poverty. The Janesville Republican has spent a year visiting low-income communities and holding hearings. Ryan says his proposals seek to find common ground between both parties -- a change from his previous packages of social spending cuts that the Democratic Senate and White House wanted nothing to do with. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was given an advance copy of Ryan's package. The paper said it includes anti-poverty approaches that both parties have supported in the past. They include Democrats' ideas to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit, and reduce prison populations with new guidelines for minimum sentences. The Ryan plan also includes long-proposed conservative measures which would place some social programs into block grants -- and giving fewer federal mandates to the states. Ryan planned to unveil his agenda today at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. In a draft paper, Ryan said "Far too many people are stuck on the lower rungs," and "government has a role to play in providing a safety net and expanding opportunity for all."
Democrats and women's advocates are upset about the state's decision to stop enforcing a law requiring insurers to cover birth control for employers who object for religious reasons. The state insurance commissioner's office said this week it had no choice, in the wake of last month's U-S Supreme Court decision which upheld Hobby Lobby's policy of not insuring contraceptives due to the owners' religious beliefs. Democratic attorney general candidate Jon Richards said the Walker administration interpreted the ruling way too broadly. If he's elected, Richards said he would file suit to require the state to enforce its insurance requirement for all employers. The justices said the Hobby Lobby case only affected private firms with small ownership groups. Richard said the court made it clear that the decision would not strike down laws like Wisconsin's. The state Assembly voted last year to exempt employers with religious objections -- but the measure failed to pass the Senate.
At least two Wisconsin groups have canceled trips to Israel, amid security concerns at Tel Aviv's airport. The Milwaukee Jewish Coalition called off a trip as part of its teen summer camp program. Also, Madison's Temple Beth El has postponed a 33-person trip to Israel that was scheduled to begin August third. Temple Rabbi Jonathan Biatch is optimistic that the group will go eventually -- but for now, he tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel there's a lot of disappointment. Flights at the Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv were halted for 24 hours on Tuesday, after a rocket landed about a mile from the facility. The F-A-A said yesterday that the flight ban would be extended -- but the American agency changed its mind late last night, and allowed U-S flights to resume.
The world's best lumberjacks have gathered in Hayward for three days of competition that begin today. Dozens of competitors will take part in the Lumberjack World Championships at Hayward in northwest Wisconsin. Today's events include logging, chopping, and pole climbing. More than 12-thousand spectators are expected to look on, as competitors go for a total prize pool of over 50-thousand dollars. U-S House Republican Sean Duffy of Wausau once competed in the lumberjack championships.
A construction worker was injured yesterday in Kenosha, where Amazon-Dot-Com is building a new merchandise distribution center. Kenosha Police said the man was pinned between a beam and an aerial lift unit. Rescuers were called around 3:30 p-m. Police said the man was taken to a hospital with a shoulder injury, after he was freed by co-workers. Beiler said none of the employees saw what happened.

Owen Paterson has said that he got more death threats in just a few months at the Whitehall environment department than he ever got as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
Mr Paterson, who spent almost two and a half years at the Northern Ireland Office, was sacked from the Cabinet by David Cameron last week after two years as Environment Secretary.
One of several high profile ministers to lose their posts, Mr Paterson's removal from the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) was welcomed by environmentalists.
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Paterson accused what he referred to as "the Green Blob" of being a "mutually supportive network of environmental pressure groups, renewable energy companies and some public officials who keep each other well supplied with lavish funds, scare stories and green tape".
Mr Paterson, who enthusiastically supported a controversial badger cull, added: "I soon realised that the greens and their industrial and bureaucratic allies are used to getting things their own way.
"I received more death threats in a few months at DEFRA than I ever did as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. My home address was circulated worldwide with an incitement to trash it; I was burnt in effigy by Greenpeace as I was recovering from an operation to save my eyesight.
"But I did not set out to be popular with lobbyists and I never forgot that they were not the people I was elected to serve."

ST. PETERSBURG — The biggest name of the four players not tendered contracts by the Rays on Thursday was reliever J.P. Howell, but it doesn't sound like it will be a big deal as he's expected to be re-signed by next week.
"I'd be shocked if that didn't happen," he said. "I want to be a Ray. It's where I know success. I don't ever want to leave."
Also allowed to become free agents were infielder/DH Willy Aybar and reliever Lance Cormier, both of whom the Rays also have interest in bringing back, and catcher Dioner Navarro, whom they don't. Among the five players tendered was first baseman/DH Dan Johnson.
By nontendering Howell, who is recovering from shoulder surgery that caused him to miss the 2010 season, the Rays can work around the rule that limits salary cuts to 20 percent for returning players. Howell, who made $1.8 million last season, said he understood and appreciated the support the Rays have shown.
The decisions on Aybar and Cormier were made to give the Rays more flexibility (thus more available money) to fill more important roles. "Right now the market is flooded with players … and it's something for us to maintain some flexibility in which way we go, and understanding the different options," executive vice president Andrew Friedman said.
Cormier, who was in line for a raise from his $1.2 million, said he'd be open to returning. Aybar, who made $1.35 million, wasn't available.
With Cormier nontendered, seven relievers who threw significant innings last season, and 78 percent of the team's 454 total, became free agents.
Friedman said he expected Johnson to get "a good number of at-bats" in a yet-to-be determined role. As expected, shortstop Jason Bartlett (the subject of trade rumors), right-handers Matt Garza and Andy Sonnanstine, and centerfielder B.J. Upton were tendered.
Interesting possibilities for the Rays among players let go include outfielder/DH Jack Cust (A's), who led the AL in walks (and strikeouts) 2007-10 while hitting 97 homers; outfielder Matt Diaz (Braves), a former Ray who can hit for power and average and has a career .350 on-base percentage; and right-hander Bobby Jenks (White Sox), who averaged 32 saves the past five seasons.
Potential bullpen candidates, left-hander R.J. Swindle and right-hander Cory Wade, were among five signed to minor-league contracts with spring training invites. Swindle, right-hander Richard De Los Santos and infielder J.J. Furmaniak were at Triple-A Durham last season; infielder Russ Canzler was in the Cubs system; and Wade, who had big-league time in 2008-09 before shoulder problems, with the Dodgers.
Around the majors
RIVERA RE-SIGNS: The Yankees were finalizing a two-year, $30 million deal with closer Mariano Rivera, ESPN reported. Also, the team told shortstop Derek Jeter's agent, Casey Close, that it will improve its original $45 million, three-year offer.
GIANTS: Leftfielder Pat Burrell, picked up after struggling for a year-plus with the Rays, agreed to terms on a one-year, $1 million contract with incentives.
MARLINS: Right-hander Javier Vazquez, 34, finalized a $7 million deal for 2011.
RED SOX: Catcher Jason Varitek, 38, reached a preliminary agreement on a $2 million, one-year contract.

High hipsters at Hop Louie
Audrey Chan's video Chinatown Abecedario, illustrated like a children's book, gives one Chinatown truth or cliche for each letter of the alphabet. For "G," galleries are the gateway to gentrification. For "H," hipsters get high outside of the bar Hop Louie. For "W," Walmart moves in to lower wages in the neighborhood. Then the video repeats, in Spanish, Cantonese and Mandarin, though, of course, the fact that it's based on the ABCs means English still dominates its structure. Chan's piece is part of "(de) Constructing Chinatown" at the Chinese American Museum, along with work by other contemporary artists trying to understand how the kitsch, the upstart art spaces and the strange history feed into what Chinatown is now. 425 N.

FILM; The Sun Rises, Again, in the West
By A. O. SCOTT
Published: June 11, 2006
IN the last shot of ''The Searchers,'' the camera, from deep inside the cozy recesses of a frontier homestead, peers out though an open doorway into the bright sunshine. The contrast between the dim interior and the daylight outside creates a second frame within the wide expanse of the screen. Inside that smaller space, the desert glare highlights the shape and darkens the features of the man who lingers just beyond the threshold. Everyone else has come inside: the other surviving characters, who have endured grief, violence, the loss of kin and the agony of waiting, and also, implicitly, the audience, which has anxiously anticipated this homecoming. But the hero, whose ruthlessness and obstinacy have made it possible, is excluded, and our last glimpse of him emphasizes his solitude, his separateness, his alienation -- from his friends and family, and also from us.
Even if you are watching ''The Searchers'' for the first time -- perhaps on the beautiful new DVD that Warner Home Video has just released to mark the film's 50th anniversary -- this final shot may look familiar. For one thing, it deliberately replicates the first image you see after the opening titles -- a view of a nearly identical vista from a very similar perspective. Indeed, the frame-within-the-frame created by shooting through relative darkness into a sliver of intense natural light is a notable motif in this movie, and elsewhere in the work of its director, John Ford. Especially in his westerns, Ford loved to create bustling, busy interiors full of life and feeling, and he was equally fond of positioning human figures, alone or in small, vulnerable groups, against vast, obliterating landscapes. Shooting from the indoors out is his way of yoking together these two realms of experience -- the domestic and the wild, the social and the natural -- and also of acknowledging the almost metaphysical gap between them, the threshold that cannot be crossed.
But that image of John Wayne's shadow in the doorway -- he plays the solitary hero, Ethan Edwards -- does not just pick up on other such moments in ''The Searchers.'' Perhaps because the shot is thematically rich as well as visually arresting -- because it so perfectly unites showing and telling -- it has become a touchstone, promiscuously quoted, consciously or not, by filmmakers whose debt to Ford might not be otherwise apparent. Ernest Hemingway once said that all of American literature could be traced back to one book, Mark Twain's ''Huckleberry Finn,'' and something similar might be said of American cinema and ''The Searchers.'' It has become one of those movies that you see, in part, through the movies that came after it and that show traces of its influence. ''Apocalypse Now,'' ''Punch-Drunk Love,'' ''Kill Bill,'' ''Brokeback Mountain'': those were the titles that flickered in my consciousness in the final seconds of a recent screening in Cannes of Ford's masterwork, all because, at crucial moments, they seem to pay homage to that single, signature shot.
At the end of ''Brokeback Mountain,'' for instance, we are inside Ennis Del Mar's trailer, looking out the window onto the Wyoming rangeland, from a domestic space into the wilderness, as in ''The Searchers.'' But in this case, the interior, rather than a warm, buzzing home, is barren, the scene of Ennis's desolation. The outside, insofar as it recalls the mountain where he and Jack Twist spent their youthful summer of love together, is an unattainable place of freedom and companionship, rather than a zone of danger and loneliness as it was in the earlier film. Ennis is severed from those he loves, and from his own nature, by the strictures of civilization, while Ethan's violent nature renders him an exile from civilized life, condemned to wander on the margins of law, stability and order.
Of course, ''Brokeback Mountain'' is a western by virtue of its setting rather than its themes, which recall the forbidden-love mid-1950's melodramas of Douglas Sirk more than anything Ford was doing at the time. But just about any movie that ventures into the territory of the western -- and a great many that do not -- has a way of bumping up against not only Ford's images but also his ideas.
He did not invent the genre, of course, and hardly restricted himself to it in the course of a career that began in the silent era and lasted more than 50 years. There will always be those who find the frontier visions of Budd Boetticher, Anthony Mann, Raoul Walsh and Howard Hawks more complex, more authentic or more varied than Ford's, as well as those who seek out western heroes less obvious than John Wayne. But like it or not, Wayne and Ford, whose long association is sampled in a new eight-movie boxed set and examined in a recent PBS documentary, ''John Ford/John Wayne: The Filmmaker and the Legend,'' directed by Sam Pollard, have long since come to represent the classic, canonical idea of the American West on film.
Which is to say that their movies, however deeply revered and frequently imitated, have also been attacked, mocked, dismissed and misunderstood. If, from the late 1930's to the early 1960's, they defined the classic western -- a tableau involving marauding Indians, fearless gunslingers, ruthless outlaws and the occasional high-spirited gal in a calico dress -- they also begat the countertendency that came to be known as the revisionist western, with its nihilism, its brutality and its harsh demystification of the threadbare legends of the old West. Thus, after Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone, after ''McCabe and Mrs. Miller'' and ''Unforgiven,'' after ''Dead Man'' and ''Deadwood,'' the brightly colored black-and-white world of ''The Searchers'' might look quaint, simplistic and not a little retrograde.

If you teach young learners and teenagers, you've probably considered to attend a classroom management workshop at least once in you career. So, a few weeks ago I had mine :-). I think many practical aspects of this workshop will be very useful.
I really appreciated the overview on the wide range of meanings of "Classroom management" and I loved the "deal with people" approach, being a teacher means manage things and manage people at the same time.
But overall there are two main topics that particularly captured my attention and that I will always bring with me in the future.
One is the focus on the different learning styles. I like the idea that we deal with them in our everyday classes and we should be able to give our students proper activities. Creating the conditions to make pupils able to express themselves is interesting and motivating.
The second topic is the idea that there will always be good and bad moments and that we should always continue to learn from each situation. The balance of uptime and downtime and the learning-to-learn message helps me to do this job with the right approach. I am now looking at it with both enthusiasm and criticism, fully aware I am a long-life learner.
I have also made myself a summary of the six key points I should consider in managing a class:
- My role: knowing myself and my students; always be ready and aware of my abilities; do not stop self-development.
- My class: remember the main rules on grouping and seating; create a positive and purposeful atmosphere.
- My activities: setting up, giving instructions, managing time and space, how to end an activity.
- My authority: gathering and holding attention, decide who does what, getting someone to do something.
- Deal with critical moments: starting and finishing the lesson, dealing with unexpected problems, deal with difficult students, managing difficult behaviour in the classroom.
- Tools and techniques: using the board and classroom equipment.
Today I have many reasons that commit me to this job. Teaching is facing a new challenge everyday; it means being part of students' development, acting as crucial and significant support.
When I think about me in a classroom, I have clear ideas about the climate I am seeking to set up. I always try to work hard to have a purposeful, positive and cooperative atmosphere in class. I think it is crucial for a teacher to be able to create a positive relationship and a positive learning atmosphere. After all, the way I will relate to my learners will have a significant impact in the lesson. At any classroom moment, I know there will be a range of possible situations to handle.
Respect – In any kind of environment showing respect to people is a building block for a cooperative and purposeful relationship. Especially in a teaching environment I find respect is a positive and non-judgmental regard for the student. My personal way to show students that I really trust them goes through responsibilities. At first, I focus on the more difficult pupils in the class and I give them small responsibilities to work on (i.e. small organizational work for the following lesson). The idea is to make them aware of their own possibilities; I would like them to develop self-confidence. I believe that a class where students feel that the teacher trust them is a more collaborative class.
Students' opinions should be always taken into consideration; they should be an active part of the class. A teacher should never forget that her/his role is to make pupils able to work in a cooperative environment; to think that their personal contributions will help to reach the entire class goal. This is why I love role plays and group works: students have the chance to develop both personal and teamwork skills.
At the end of the day, I like being authentic and finding my personal approach to create empathy with the students. Probably having a good ability in setting a purposeful and happy climate is not everything, but it is a positive start.

Former UGA quarterback meets with Worth County fans
Fri, 27 Jun 2014 20:00:52 GMT —
Georgia Bulldog football fans from all over Worth County lined up to meet former UGA quarterback David Greene. The former quarterback stopped in Sylvester to sign autographs and take pictures with all the Bulldog fans.
Greene said, "I was a bit surprised on huge the fan base is here in Sylvester and it's exciting to meet Bulldogs."
Greene spent the afternoon signing hats, t-shirts, or anything else fans gave the former Bulldog to sign. After all the signings and pictures Greene wrapped up his day to get ready for a round of golf tomorrow morning.


text: I just wanted to comment on the "A picture is worth a thousand words" article. I thought it worth mentioning that in ancient Chinese stories, the number 10,000 was used to refer to a vast number beyond counting, as they had no words for numbers greater then that. I know the story "romance of the Three Kingdoms" references 10,000 arrows in such a fashion. My point references allegorical knowledge at best, but it may lend some credibility to a Chinese origin for the phrase.

What is the easiest way to parse a XML file in? It need to use free code. A short sample maybe?
There are several, http://expat.sourceforge.net/ is probably the most frequently recommended.
But if I want to use it with C# code. How do I do then?
It appears that MS has already implemented a XML parser for you, see this article: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/03/06/csharpxml.html
Anything you want to do with files, or communication (like network).
Just type in google: tcp stream C# or udp stream C#, in your case xml stream C#.
Et voila everything you ever wanted to know:).
Its wonderfull to have a framework that holds such an excessive amount of tools (classes) already. They even give the tools very comprehensive names, one just needs to find them...

Bishop Carroll swept a softball doubleheader from Maize on Thursday night at Carroll, scoring twice in the sixth for an 8-6 win in the opener and rolling 11-1 in the second game.
"They showed the first game they could play and we showed we were kind of undisciplined for a little bit," Carroll coach Steve Harshberger said.
After exchanging runs for the first three innings of the first game the Eagles came alive in the bottom of the fourth, scoring three runs to give them their first lead of the night.
Briana Hogan's single allowed Madison Miller to score, a double by Morgan Balderas scored another run and a third run came home on a fielder's choice.
Maize tied the score 6-6 in the top of the sixth.
Hogan homered in the bottom of the sixth to reclaim the lead for Carroll. Brittany Finney scored on a single for an 8-6 lead that Maize was unable to counter.
Harshberger said the first game wasn't a work of art.
"It was an ugly game both sides but we luckily came out on top on that one," he said.
Maize coach Jenny Meirowsky said her team did well hitting but struggled defensively.
Finney pitched the second game for Carroll and set the tone by striking out the first two hitters she faced.
"We were really anxious, we really wanted the win, and after we got it I think we relaxed a little bit and settled down and just took care of business," she said.
Miller homered to center in the second inning to put Carroll on top.
Maize made it 1-1 in the third on a hit by Allie Jurgensen.
Carroll took a 3-1 lead in the third, and Balderas hit a big three-run homer over the left-field wall to extend Carroll's lead to 6-1 in the fourth.
"That kind of relaxed us a little bit and we wanted that all night," Harshberger said.
Miller hit another home run in the fifth, this time a three-run shot.
"I don't really handle the high pitch well so I was looking for something low that I could get my hands to and just drove the ball," Miller said.
Balderas hit a two-run single that gave Carroll a 10-run lead, ending the game.
Meirowsky said her team didn't have as much intensity in the second game.
"I feel like our whole team just let down defensively and offensively we just weren't being aggressive," she said.

HandyDart arbitration
The binding arbitration order that sets the terms of a collective agreement between the MVT Canadian Bus and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1724 has been sparingly covered by major media. News stories focused on the fact that the parties accepted the ruling, the 10-week strike had ended and full service would be resumed as quickly as possible.
But given the burden of wage hikes, benefits and penalties arbitrator Vince Ready has imposed on the employer, it would be surprising if MVT stays beyond the three-year term of its contract with TransLink. MVT won the $113-million service contract that became effective in January 2009 and must bear the increased labour costs Ready has written into a new collective agreement without further compensation from TransLink. Its departure would be a major loss for TransLink, HandyDart users, employees and taxpayers.
First, it should be noted that this company, a subsidiary of MV Transportation — founded and owned by African Americans and widely admired in the 185 jurisdictions where it provides services, was not a successor to previous employers under the Labour Relations Code. In other words, this company that union members have demonized since it assumed responsibility for the HandyDart service, could have told all the unions to take a hike, reject all of the existing collective agreements, and compel any new union organized to represent the workers to try to negotiate a first contract from scratch. The company could then have stonewalled until the union, unable to reach an agreement, was decertified. Instead, MVT agreed to recognize one of the unions chosen by employees, not only leaving terms of existing contracts in place but immediately raised wages for many employees.
Why the employees chose ATU, a corrupt U.S. union that turned a blind eye to the Mafia running its local in New York City for 30 years, is a mystery — and another story for another day.
It's also important to note that back in December 2009, the union's negotiating committee thought it had worked out a deal with the help of a mediator, and recommended members accept it. It was rejected by 58 per cent of the membership.
Ready sweetened the mediator's recommendations in his binding settlement. He added five cents to the wages proposed by the mediator and to which both bargaining committees had agreed so that drivers' pay would be $21.30 an hour immediately, $22.05 in 2011; $23.15 in 2012; and $24.30 in 2013. MVT's final offer was $21.25 per hour in 2010, with 3 per cent, 5 per cent, and 5 per cent increases in each of the following three calendar years. The only good news in this award is that Ready rejected the union's demand for parity with TransLink bus drivers, who make $28.35 an hour. MVT made a strong case against parity, using a ruling Ready handed down in 1996 concerning Farwest HandyDart Services Inc. and ICTU Local 3. He wrote:
"I have given due consideration to the Union's argument that
parity with B.C. Transit's conventional bus operation is
warranted in the present circumstances, and conclude that it
must be dismissed. I find there to be no economic or other
logical basis on which this parity argument can be sustained,
considering the qualifications, duties and responsibilities, and
work environments in Farwest versus those in the conventional
Transit system."
In addition, Ready demanded the company pay the union a lump sump of $400,000 to distribute as the union deems appropriate. It's clearly punitive but there's no explanation in the arbitration ruling for this extraordinary payment. Ready also ordered the company to drop a grievance against the union that sought $90,000 arising from payments to employees involved in collective bargaining.
Under the mediator, MVT had acquiesced to enrolling employees in the Municipal Pension Plan, a concession it is bound to regret. It was rightly concerned that the MPP has a history of unfunded liabilities and shortfalls and that premiums for both employees and itself could be raised as a result. In short, MVT now has no control over one of the largest components of its benefits package. If MVT decides not to renew, TransLink could be saddled with the obligation of paying escalating MPP premiums, and would undoubtedly pass the cost to transit users and taxpayers.
Ready said he saw in his involvement in this case that "both parties approached matters in good faith and with a view to developing a mutually beneficial relationship. But it is not evident that the union made any concessions whatsoever to bring about a negotiated settlement. And perhaps Ready didn't see the hateful comments from HandyDart employees and others posted to this blog site. Most sing the same tune about the evil "for profit" company and make false accusations about the parent company's activities in the U.S. Digging into the facts of their allegations, one easily finds that most are cases of drivers, not the company, behaving badly. They accuse the company of lying about its labour relations record of never taking a strike when it is the sole operator. It's demonstrably true, however, and the real liars are exposed. One union member dared me to look into MV losing a contract to a rival in California. I did. MV lost the contract because it was the only unionized company in the bidding and couldn't match the non-union, lower-paying firm that won it. Those employees who weren't fired had their wages cut when the new employer took over.
MVT may have underestimated the militancy and unreasonableness of B.C. unions and will find this contract more trouble than it's worth. A four-year agreement is now in place but labour peace is a faint hope.

EVGA launched a Batman: Arkham City-themed GeForce GTX 580 graphics card.
The product carries SKY code 015-P3-1582-A1 and comes with factory clock speeds of 797/1594/4050 MHz (core/CUDA cores/memory effective). Other then that, this is a reference model with a sticker on top of it. We're not 100% sure if a free copy of the game is included, it most likely has though.

Upstairs Downstairs Season 2
Upstairs Downstairs Season 2 -- Sundays, October 7th -
November 11th at 8 pm on WTVP-HD.
-In 1938, war is about to topple
a way of life. But not quite yet.-
While Europe teeters on the brink of war, life goes on upstairs and downstairs at 165
Eaton Place— elegant, serious, sexy, and chaotic as ever—on
Upstairs Downstairs Season 2,
the second season of the Emmy®-nominated sequel to the long-running PBS series, airing Sundays,
October 7-November 11, from 8 to 9 p.m. on WTVP-HD 47.1 (check local cable and satellite listings).
Critics loved the first season, with The New York Times writing, "the sequel holds
its own against the many period series and movies…from Brideshead Revisited to Remains of the
Day to Gosford Park to Atonement."
The Salt Lake Tribune called Upstairs Downstairs, "witty, dramatic,
engaging, and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish." And The Chicago Sun-Times wrote,
"watching it was just bliss."
The returning cast includes Keeley Hawes (Wives and Daughters) as Lady Agnes
Holland, the beautiful mistress at 165 Eaton Place, Ed Stoppard (Brideshead Revisited) as her
diplomat husband, Sir Hallam, and Claire Foy (Little Dorrit) as Agnes's obsessively defiant
sister, Persie, who is in love with fascist politics and Nazis in particular.
Repeating their roles downstairs are Anne Reid (Bleak House) as the fractious
gourmet cook, Mrs. Thackeray, Adrian Scarborough (Cranford) as the resourceful butler, Mr.
Pritchard, Neil Jackson (Quantum of Solace) as the beefy chauffeur, Harry Spargo, and Art Malik
(Jewel In The Crown) as Amanjit Singh, the private secretary to Hallam's recently deceased mother
(played last season by Eileen Atkins).
Jean Marsh (Sense and Sensibility), who was star and co-creator of the original
Upstairs Downstairs and also of the sequel, appears in the new season in a cameo role.
Guest stars include Alex Kingston (ER, Moll Flanders) as Hallam's freethinking
aunt, Dr. Blanche Mottershead, Emilia Fox (Rebecca) as Blanche's former lover, Lady Portia Alresford,
and Michael Landes (Final Destination 2) as the American self-made millionaire Caspar Landry, whose
latest venture is nylon hosiery—a convenient lure in his quest to seduce a certain aristocratic Englishwoman.
And with Hallam's diplomatic connections, a string of historic figures also make their appearance.
These include an appealing young Harvard student named John F. Kennedy and his blustering father, the American
ambassador, as well as the notoriously hedonistic Duke of Kent (Blake Ritson, Emma), youngest brother to
the king, and British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax (Ken Bones, Any Human Heart), who was later to concede
the contest to become wartime prime minister to Winston Churchill.
Hallam's post as Principal Private Secretary to Halifax, and earlier to Anthony Eden, parallels the
career of the real-life Oliver Harvey, who kept a riveting diary about the bitter dissension in England's inner circle
on how to deal with Hitler, a plot element that moves steadily to center stage in Upstairs Downstairs Season 2.
The series also addresses other burning issues of the day: lesbianism, adultery, and sexual license in
high places; conscientious objectors; home-grown fascism; war mobilization; and the lure of America—its money, style,
and apparent safety an ocean away, far from the drumbeat of war.
Meanwhile, as Europe flirts with catastrophe, many just flirt.
Upstairs Downstairs Season 2
is a BBC/MASTERPIECE Co-Production. It is written by Heidi Thomas. The directors are Mark Jobst (parts one
and two), Brendan Maher (parts four and five), and Anthony Byrne (parts three and six). The producer is Annie
Tricklebank. The executive producers are Faith Penhale, Heidi Thomas, and Rebecca Eaton for MASTERPIECE.
MASTERPIECE is presented on PBS by WGBH Boston. Funding for the series is provided by Viking
River Cruises with additional support from public television viewers and contributors to the MASTERPIECE
Trust, created to help ensure the series' future.

Fornham St Martin is a village and civil parish in the St. Edmundsbury District of Suffolk in eastern England. Located on the northern outskirts of Bury St Edmunds to the east and west of the A134, in 2005 its population was estimated at 1300. Its modern parish council is shared with neighbouring Fornham St. Genevieve, and is known as Fornham St Martin cum St Genevieve Parish Council.
Once having a reputation for "pie-ladies" – women who walked to the abbey in Bury St Edmunds to feed the monks – today it is dominated by modern housing.
The name "Fornham" is thought to be Saxon meaning "The homestead by the trout stream" and the village is well documented in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The Battle of Fornham, one of the most significant battles in English history took place in Fornham Park and the surrounding area in 1173. Scribes of the time variously estimated that between 3,000 and 10,000 Flemish mercenaries were slaughtered and lie beneath the fields, woodland and ditches.
The village appears on John Speed's 1610 map as "Fernham mertin" and in 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described the town as "a parish in Thingoe [registration] district, Suffolk in the Diocese of Ely; on the river Lark, 1¾ mile North of Bury St Edmunds" and related that "it had 74 houses, a post office, a church and a free school".
