Harrisburg, Illinois mayor resigns, former commissioner to take officeHARRISBURG, Ill. - Harrisburg, Illinois Mayor Eric Gregg has resigned from office effective immediately. Gregg resigned at his home Monday morning from the position he's held for two years. The departing mayor has seen the small town through a massive flood, a destructive tornado and a fire with more than $1 million in damage. All the while, he was battling a life threatening illness. Gregg is being replaced by a good friend of his, former Commissioner Ron Crank. The two men share a unique bond, as Crank has also experienced health problems. He recently finished treatment for cancer, and the two have been a support system for one another through their tough times. Gregg says he could not be happier to pass on the role of mayor to a man with such strength. "Councilman Ron Crank stepped in as acting mayor and he filled in and did a remarkable job in my absence and I was very proud of him for that," Gregg said "And I felt an obligation and duty to him and this community to do the same thing." Gregg has taken a job with the state and starts immediately, but he still plans on being a significant influence in the Harrisburg community. He says he's grateful to the residents of Harrisburg for making his two-year term a rewarding experience. |

I would write this question directly to Jeffrey Richter, but last time he didn't answer me :) so I will try to get an answer with your help here, guys :)
In the book "CLR via C#", 3rd edition, on p.108, Jeffrey writes:
void M3() {
Employee e;
e = new Manager();
year = e.GetYearsEmployed();
The next line of code in M3 calls Employee's nonvirtual instance GetYearsEmployed method. When calling a nonvirtual instance method, the JIT compiler locates the type object that corresponds to the type of the variable being used to make the call. In this case, the variable e is defined as an Employee. (If the Employee type didn't define the method being called, the JIT compiler walks down the class hierarchy toward Object looking for this method. It can do this because each type object has a field in it that refers to its base type; this information is not shown in the figures.) Then, the JIT compiler locates the entry in the type object's method table that refers to the method being called, JITs the method (if necessary), and then calls the JITted code.
When I read this first time I thought that it would be not effective to walk along the class hierarchy looking for the method during JIT-ting. It is easy to find the method already on compile stage. But I believed to Jeffrey. I posted this information on another forum and another guy confirmed my doubts that it is strange and would be ineffective and that it seems it is wrong information.
And really, if you look for the corresponding IL code in a decompiler, such as ILDasm or Reflector (I've checked in both) you will see that IL has a callvirt instruction calling the method from the base class, so JIT doesn't need to look in which class the method is located at runtime:
public class EmployeeBase
public int GetYearsEmployed() { return 1; }
public class Employee : EmployeeBase
public void SomeOtherMethod() { }
public class Manager : Employee
public void GenProgressReport() { }
Employee e;
e = new Manager();
int years = e.GetYearsEmployed();
Resulting IL is:
L_0000: nop
L_0001: newobj instance void TestProj.Form1/Manager::.ctor()
L_0006: stloc.0
L_0007: ldloc.0
L_0008: callvirt instance int32 TestProj.Form1/EmployeeBase::GetYearsEmployed()
You see? Compiler already found out that the method is located not in the Employee class, but in the EmployeeBase class and emited a right call. But from Richter's words JIT would have to find out that the method is actually located in the EmployeeBase class at runtime.
Did Jeffrey Richter mistaken? Or I don't understand something?

Thyroid Goiter
Thyroid Goiter (Aftercare Instructions) Care Guide
- Thyroid Goiter
- Thyroid Goiter Aftercare Instructions
- Thyroid Goiter Discharge Care
- Thyroid Goiter Inpatient Care
- En Espanol
- A thyroid goiter is a condition where your thyroid gland slowly gets big. The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped organ found in the front of your neck. It makes thyroid hormones (special chemicals) that help control how your body works. When you have a goiter, the amount of thyroid hormones in your body may be normal, increased or decreased. Your thyroid goiter may be diffuse, nodular, retrosternal or substernal. There is a small chance that your thyroid goiter may be cancer. With thyroid goiter, you may often cough or choke, or have a flushed face and swollen neck veins. You may see a lump in your neck, have trouble breathing and swallowing, or have a hoarse voice.
- Thyroid goiters are most often caused by having too little or no iodine in your diet. With low iodine in your body, being pregnant, smoking cigarettes or eating certain foods may increase your risk. You are more likely to have a goiter if others in your family have one. A thyroid goiter may also be caused by certain medicines, or other thyroid disorders. You may need an ultrasound, thyroid scan, biopsy, computed tomography (CT) scan, x-ray, and blood tests. A goiter may be treated with iodine, thyroid medicines, ethanol injection, or surgery. Small goiters may not need any treatment. Having your goiter checked by a caregiver will help him know if you need treatment. Treating a thyroid goiter may decrease it's size, and make your symptoms go away. It can also help caregivers learn if you have other medical problems related to or causing your goiter.
Take your medicine as directed.
Call your primary healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
- Radioactive iodine: This medicine damages cells in your thyroid gland, decreasing the amount of thyroid hormone in your blood. This may help your body work better. After taking radioactive iodine, your thyroid gland may still make too much or not enough hormone. If this happens, you may still need to take thyroid medicine.
- Thyroid medicines: These medicines are given to replace, increase, or decrease your thyroid hormone levels. They may also be given to decrease symptoms such as choking.
Ask for information about where and when to go for follow-up visits:
For continuing care, treatments, or home services, ask for more information.
- You may need to have blood drawn regularly if you had thyroid surgery or are taking thyroid medicines. This is to make sure your thyroid hormone levels stay normal. This is also done to help prevent your thyroid goiter from coming back.
Diet changes:
Eat a variety of healthy foods such as fruits, whole-grain breads, low-fat dairy products, beans, lean meat and fish. You may need to eat foods rich in iodine. Iodine is an important mineral used by the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones. Ask your caregiver for a list of foods that contain iodine. You may need to use iodized salt when cooking and seasoning your food. Ask your caregiver if you need to be on a special diet.
Quit smoking:
It is never too late to quit smoking. If you have an autoimmune thyroid disorder, smoking can cause a thyroid goiter. Smoking also harms your heart, lungs, and blood. You are also more likely to have a heart attack, lung disease, and cancer if you smoke. You will help yourself and those around you by not smoking. Ask your caregiver for more information about how to stop smoking if you are having trouble quitting.
- You cough often, or feel like you are choking.
- You have new symptoms of thyroid goiter.
- Your voice becomes hoarse or you have trouble swallowing.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition, treatment, or care.
- You have chest pain, or trouble breathing all of a sudden.
- You start seeing things that are not there.
- Your symptoms suddenly get worse become worse, even after taking your medicines.

I watched this today on Netfix, and much to my surprise, was totally hooked! Cate Blanchett is so captivating in Woody Allen's latest, Blue Jasmine, that I thought I'd give this a go. Would recommend it, and I knew nothing of Veronica Guerin's story, but she really was something, exposing and fronting up to Dublin's feckless drug barons of the 1990s.
Veronica Guerin
Time Out says
Reporter Veronica Guerin made a difference. After a series of probing investigative articles for her Dublin Sunday newspaper, she was assassinated in 1996 at the behest of drug barons. Her death prompted changes in Irish legislation allowing the seizure of illegal earnings. It's hardly surprising film-makers have wanted to celebrate this latter-day martyr, and though 1999's low-budget When the Sky Falls (with Joan Allen as 'Sinead Hamilton') passed with hardly a blip, this Jerry Bruckheimer production, in which Cate Blanchett's preparations were assisted by the Guerin family, is higher profile, obviously targeted at US audiences unfamiliar with the events. With the erratic Schumacher at the helm, you'd be forgiven for fearing the worst, but it (mostly) doesn't happen. Though there are rather more helicopter shots and sweeping camera movements than the material requires, this is a cleanly told, tense account that names names and plays out on authentic locations, as Guerin's supply of information from her underworld contact (Hinds, effectively oleaginous) eventually places her in serious peril from his volatile crime boss (McSorley, forcefully repulsive). Blanchett gets the accent impeccably, and encompasses both the woman's determined heroism and her delight in the picture byline, but neither she nor the screenplay digs any deeper than secular hagiography. The film would undoubtedly have been richer had it broached its subject's apparently foolhardy willingness to put herself and her family in danger, but it's clearly more interested in tragic uplift than flawed humanity, which the finale's bombastic overstatement makes abundantly clear.Author: TJ

Ask Me Anything: March 2013
In this second post of the "Ask Me Anything" series, I answer your questions about how to earn money while travelling, how to pack for long trips, how to pitch travel stories to publications, and destination-related questions about Bahrain, Singapore and Thailand.
I run into money problems sometimes while backpacking; can you recommend a good way to earn money while on your travels?
India doesn't currently hold a working holiday agreement with any country in the world, so the best way to earn money while travelling with an Indian passport is to work online. The options are aplenty: writing, copy editing, research, web designing, coding, teaching languages, social media marketing – really anything that you don't have to be physically present in an office for. Becoming a freelancer and diversifying your income sources (like I try to do) ensures that you stay motivated and are not too reliant on a single piece of work.
Anushree Kejriwal:
I would like to know about a trip to Bahrain as a solo traveller – the ideal number of days and the approximate cost.
I visited Bahrain as a Discover Bahrain delegate, a cultural exchange program that spans 20+ countries, after which, I extended my stay and explored on my own. Depending on whether you're culturally or historically inclined, or want to spend some time by the coast, I would recommend atleast 5 days to a week in the country. Bahrain isn't exactly geared up for backpackers, but I managed to keep costs low by sharing an apartment-style room with four other people and hitchhiking my way around (public transport is almost non-existent). Unfortunately our exchange rate sucks, and for a budget trip, the minimum you could possibly work with will be around 40 Bahraini Dinar (INR 6,000) a day, inclusive of stay and meals.
Rathina Sankari:
Could you suggest a budget hotel for a family stay in Singapore, Bangkok and Pattaya for a couple of days?
On my recent trip to Singapore, I absolutely loved staying at Naumi Liora, which is a charming boutique hotel located on Keok Siak Street, near Chinatown. The rooms are small but very cozy, the interiors are tastefully designed, and they have a 24-hour complimentary snack bar (got to love that, right?). The location is central, with a short walk to Outram Park MRT station, and a ten minute cab ride to Orchard Road.
In Bangkok, I stayed at Chang Siam Inn, on the direct train line from Bangkok airport. It is done in ethnic Thai style, with wooden interiors. The rooms are modern and really nice considering it's a budget hotel. They offer free Wifi, and there's a 24-hour food court right across. Highly recommended for a budget stay.
I haven't been to Pattaya yet, but a good idea would be to look on TripAdvisor, under the Specialty Lodgings tab.
Makrand Lowalekar:
How big a backpack do you use, and what brand? Do you check in your backpack when you take a flight? How do you take care of safety, like making sure that someone doesn't put any stuff in the backpack, specifically on international travels? How do you keep your Macbook safe from breaking?
For up to a week-long trip, I use a school bag-sized backpack, with double compartments, one for my laptop, the second for all the other stuff. Longer than a week, I use a a regular rucksack (not sure of the dimensions) if I'm going to be hopping from one town to another and using public transport. On sponsored trips where things are well taken care of, I've started carrying a cabin suitcase, since it's much easier to drag around.
When you travel (alone or with someone), you have to keep your wits about you and be conscious of your surroundings. Don't leave your bags unattended, keep a close watch on them, and in general, trust your gut in any sticky situation.
Never check in your laptop or other precious electronic items like a tablet or a camera! When I carry a rucksack, I usually also carry a small day bag (which can otherwise fit into my backpack) to put my laptop and camera in, to carry on in the flight, as well as for day trips or overnight trips while using a place as a base. However, unless you really intend to work on the go, I recommend travelling without a laptop. You can be much more carefree, and cyber cafes can be found (and are affordable) in all bigger towns for email and Facebook. You can use your phone for Twitter.
Ying Tey:
When you pitched your first ever travel feature, did you already have a successful travel blog? What's an example of a successful pitch/proposal that leads to publication of the idea? How did you wield Twitter such that it works for you?
I had a blog alright, but it was still in its nascent stages. What helped while pitching my first travel feature (back in early 2011), was that my blog served as a sample of my writing. Most editors don't seem to care much about how many people are reading or engaging with your blog; it all boils down to whether they see potential in your writing.
While pitching a travel story, it helps to have read a past issue of the publication to see what kind of stories it carries. If you can offer something unique, that is relevant to the publication and hasn't been done before, you've struck gold. I've found that more important than how I curate my pitch is to be persistent about it by following up. Even if an editor rejects a pitch, at least there is a possibility of going back to the drawing board to pitch again.
I never started using Twitter with the intention of getting something out of it on the professional front. It was, and continues to be, a great source to connect with people across the world and find interesting resources for just about anything. It's gradually become the place where I hang out and socialize; if it were a physical place, I imagine it would be a quaint little cafe where people from everywhere stop by for coffee and conversation. You can think of me as a regular at this cafe, and if someone from the travel industry comes looking for a travel blogger, some of the other regulars are kind enough to refer me – and that's where it takes a professional turn.
Divyanshu Singh:
I find reading through your blogposts effortless and grabbing. I'm curious about how much effort do those posts require on your end? Does what you publish come that way in the first draft or do you have to go back and edit?
Second and more important: If you didn't have to write (for your blog, for magazines) as a means for income, would you still write and share your travellogues? If yes, why (considering your answer to the first question of your last 'Ask me anything' post)?
When I first started blogging, I would read and re-read a post till I could do it no more justice. That has changed since I've started writing much more often, and for other publications. My blog is now my breathing space, and most of what I've written here exclusively in the last six months or so is an expression of freely flowing thoughts, with little editing.
First things first, I don't make much money at all from my blog, which makes the answer to the latter half of the second question, affirmative. I still continue to write here because I love to write, because it lets me relive my adventures, and because I hope that through my experiences, I can inspire just one more person to go out there and discover the world. Travelling can be so liberating and empowering, and if my writing can convince just one of my readers to embrace it, all the effort is worth it. Would I still write for magazines and other publications if it didn't pay? I'm not sure. There's a kick you get from seeing your work in print, and seeing your work published in major travel publications. I don't think I'd give that up even if didn't pay.
Deeptanshu Singh:
Can I really get a French touch in Pudducherry?
Pondicherry is nothing like the quaint old towns and charming countryside of France. It's architecture however, does have a distinct French character – many villas, hotels, restaurants and cafes on certain streets in Pondicherry are run by French owners, styled around typical French courtyards, and offer a flavor of France – and that's what I loved about the town, though I did find it too crowded for my liking. Pondicherry also has a handful of French bakeries and cafes, and the food is almost as delicious as in France!

Can you help us in preparing a checklist for a long trip, especially for women travellers?
That would warrant an entire post! I think the most important part of packing for a long trip is travelling light. I lay out everything I think I'd need when I start packing, and then get rid of atleast half of it, remembering that I'll have to lug it all on my shoulders. To travel light, pack layers so you can mix and match clothes, stick to a pair of comfortable walking shoes, and pack dresses that could pass on the beach as well as for a nice dinner. You can see more tips in a story I wrote for Women's Web, on the art of packing light. I will share a detailed packing list on my blog soon too.
@MunjalDesai via Twitter:
How did the idea of @IndiaUntraveled spark in your mind, given that starting your own venture after leaving a job is risky business?
That was the best part of quitting my job without a very concrete plan – nothing else I did seemed too risky! I did have a fall back fund when I quit, but I wasn't going to touch that unless everything looked completely hopeless and I needed to find another job. The idea of India Untravelled came about when I travelling in Punjab, and found myself overwhelmed by the hospitality of a family from the pind that I was staying in. With our business model primarily online, the initial investment was low, and as someone who had worked in digital marketing for almost 3 years, I had the conviction that we were setting out to fill a large gap in the market.
Manish Kutaula:
What difficulties have you faced in the transition from leaving your job and getting into travel fulltime?
You mean how I adapted to the awesomeness of it? ;) I think the biggest challenge, as you can imagine, was getting used to an unstable income flow. There are still days when I wake up wondering how I can find a few more hours in the day to take on another project to fund another trip (or more importantly, pay my rent). I've loved my nomadic lifestyle from day one, so whenever I feel like I'm working too hard just to make a little money, I think of all the adventures that await me, and the hard work is justified. I'd be lying if I said that dealing with my parents during this transition (or even now) has been a breeze; I can imagine why they think I'm "wasting" the little money I make on travelling. Wait, scrap that. I can't imagine why.
Arpan Mandal:
I have been day dreaming about leaving my job and traveling for a while now. The only fear/uncertainty that stops me from putting in my papers and booking a one-way ticket to Africa is what happens after I return, with no income, no job, and most importantly, no money. I know the moment I get a satisfactory answer to this question, I will be ready! Please give me that satisfactory answer.
I doubt that after returning home from Africa, or wherever else your adventures take you, you'd want to go back to a job you day dream about quitting in the first place. I think the more important thing is to not to use up all your savings and land in a situation where you have no income and no money! Start thinking of things you enjoy doing, have a talent for, and that can be done while you travel. Answer #1 should give you some ideas to start with. Once you've nailed this, I'm sure there'll be no stopping you!
Ankur Singh:
What's your source of revenue if you are not working, to travel worldwide? How does it feel to travel alone?
I am working (sometimes much harder than I did when I had a full time job!), but on the go, and primarily online. I write for travel publications, freelance as a social media strategist and community manager, and run India Untravelled. In this post, I explain in detail how I earn from these sources, and whatever I do earn, I use it to travel till the last rupee. (Read my tips on how to save money to travel). Lately, I've started partnering with tourism boards and travel organizations, who fund my travels in exchange for me sharing my travel experiences on my social networks and through my writing.
I remember feeling nervous on my first solo trip, but travelling alone doesn't feel half as lonely as it can sound. To me, it is more like an adventure. You don't know who you're going to meet next and swap life stories with. You could be midway somewhere, and you can change your mind and do something completely different without consulting with anyone. You can land in an unexpected situation, and react completely differently than you expected yourself to. Of course, it can be a little scary sometimes too, but in knowing that you can fight your fears and experience the world on your own terms is a liberating feeling.
Hope that gave you some perspective about travelling and writing.

Life is not same once you get addicted to solo traveling. I feel sometimes to leave everything and travel. I don't have problem finding money, but the problem is internal conflict whether my vagabondish life will add a step further towards my goal, or it's just a momentary impulse that fades away with time.
Joy emanates in changing horizons, especially for people like us, Money is not a risk but there are certain other attachments like parents who are hard to ignore. May be you put another question here how to deal with family?
I like the way you write, put things in a simpler way. Will read your other posts soon.

Gomoku.app is an extended TicTacToe game for GNUstep. You win the game if you are able to put 5 of your pieces in a row, column, or diagonal. You lose if the computer does so before you. You can play the game on boards of different size. The game has 6 different difficulty levels.
GPP is a general-purpose preprocessor with customizable syntax, suitable for a wide range of preprocessing tasks. Its independence from any programming language makes it much more versatile than cpp, while its syntax is lighter and more flexible than that of m4. The syntax is fully customizable, which makes it possible to process text files, HTML, or source code equally efficiently in a variety of languages.
JIGS (Java Interface for GnuStep) allows Java programmers to use the GNUstep libraries from Java, but it is more than a set of bindings for GNUstep from Java: it takes advantage of the fact that Objective-C and Java are very similar languages to make it possible to use Objective-C classes from Java using exactly the same API (and vice versa). Moreover, JIGS can generate automatically wrappers for your own Objective-C GNUstep libraries.
ProjectCenter is GNUstep's integrated development environment (IDE). It assists you in starting new projects and lets you manage your project files using a intuitive and well ordered graphical user interface. ProjectCenter automatically creates the project makefiles and aids you in the process of editing, project compilation, package building, and debugging.

A lot of folks will head to lakes for Memorial Day this weekend, but some will find their favorite campgrounds aren't available this year.
The Corps of Engineers said it doesn't have the money to open its campsites along the McClellan-Kerr Navigation System.
"Every summer, we go camping all the time," said Katy Smith.
Smith and her family were shocked to learn some of their favorite campsites, like Afton Landing, will not be open for business this season.
"We've gone to Afton. Really, we've gone all over, because it's all right here close. I'd hate to see any of them shut down," she said.
The Army Corps of Engineers is strapped for cash, so the majority of campgrounds along the McClellan-Kerr Navigation System won't open for the summer.
Bluff Landing is the only Corps park along the river that will remain open. Boat ramps at some of the closed campsites will also be open.
5/14/2013 Related Story: Corps Says Navigation System Campgrounds To Stay Closed
"We're trying to balance it, but at a certain point, it really comes down to just dollars and cents, as to how much we have to manage those particular parks and systems," said Kent Dunlap, with the Corps.
The closings will only impact areas along the navigation system. Campgrounds at Tulsa District Lakes, like Fort Gibson, will not directly feel the impact, but campers there worry there will be a crowding problem during holidays.
"There's not enough space over the holidays, anyway, so it will effect all of us," Smith said. "With those places closed, can you imagine? It's just going to be wall-to-wall people."
Dunlap said, "It's always tight. It's going to be a little tighter this year, because we do have some campsites that are going to be unavailable unfortunately."
Corps leaders recommend making reservations online for campsites or getting there early.
The Oklahoma State Parks coordinator says their parks along the navigational system will remain open.
Some of their parks allow reservations, but most are on a first come, first serve basis.

You tell us! Who dressed up best?
When you type "celebrity halloween costume" into Google, Heidi Klum freaking owns it, page after page. When she's not "auf wiedersehen-ing" on Project Runway, homegirl must do some serious costume brainstorming. From sun goddesses and demons, to evil apples, Klum and husband Seal make sure no one touches them when it comes to Halloween creativity. However...some come close. Here are our best celebrity Halloween costume picks; let the inspiration begin.
Simple, yet totally hilarious, Gwen Stefani went trick or treating with her son as an egg!
Although we're not sure if she sings anymore, Christina Aguilera and husband look pretty scary...I mean, look at that pink wig.
We like Heidi and Spencer here because it shows them for what they truly are - he's bulky and confusing and we're not sure what she is.
Christian Siriano makes a fierce Cruella DeVille for last year's Heidi Klum bash...tranny fierceness.
Although this sort of grosses us out, you have to appreciate the creativity that went into Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey's milk and cookies costumes.
Katy Perry went out last year as Freddie Mercury, which totally made us love the girl more than we already did.

Wild Children Domesticated Dreams
Civilization and the Birth of Education
Layla AbdelRahim
An anthropological analysis of education, this book is the first to examine the root cause of contemporary pedagogical systems from a truly comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. This confluence of ethology and anthropology reveals that the very category "human" is a requirement of civilization contingent on domestication and submission to structural violence at the root of civilized pedagogical practices. /*… (more information)

Anthropology as a Personal Experience
Edward J. Hedican
Fieldwork, once regarded as an essential pillar of social anthropology, has come under attack, especially from the post-modern school. Hedigan argues that for many in the discipline, an anthropology without fieldwork would appear to be a hollow, meaningless experience, devoid of its central epistemological value. This book, drawing on the author's fieldwork experience among Ojibwa people in Northern Ontario, explores post-modernism's critique of fieldwork and fieldwork's contribution… (more information)

Russia and Development
Development Policies in the former Soviet Union
Charles Buxton
For Lenin, Russia was the weak link in the chain of imperialism. In 1917 the chain broke and for 70 years the Bolsheviks' state-led model of development stood out in radical opposition to the capitalism mainstream –up until the crash of the USSR in 1991. For present-day critics of the regime in Russia, criminal privatization and bureaucratic cronyism has reduced their country to 2nd class status as an oil and gas exporter on the periphery of the global economy. This unique and… (more information)
Protest Camps
Anna Feigenbaum, Fabian Frenzel, Patrick McCurdy
From Tahrir Square to St Paul's Cathedral, from the Red Shirts in Thailand to the Teachers in Oaxaca, protest camps are a highly visible feature of social movements' activism across the world.

Organisational Anthropology is a pioneering analysis of doing ethnographic fieldwork in different types of complex organisations.

The contributors work from the premise that doing fieldwork in an organisation shares essential characteristics with fieldwork in more 'classical' anthropological environments, but that it also poses some particular… (more information)

Complicity, Contradictions and Prospects
Edited by Aziz Choudry, Dip Kapoor
The growth and spread of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) at local and international levels has attracted considerable interest and attention from policy-makers, development practitioners, academics and activists around the world. But how has this phenomenon impacted on struggles for social and environmental justice? How has it challenged– or reinforced–the forces of capitalism and colonialism? And what political, economic, social and cultural interests does this serve? NGOization… (more information)
Myth, Migration and the Making of Memory
Scotia and Nova Scotia, c.1700-1990
Edited by Marjory Harper, Michael E. Vance
The essays in this volume, which are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, challenge us to consider critically the commonly held assumption that Nova Scotia is essentially Scottish in character. They do so by exploring the origin of the mythic understanding of the link between Scotland and Nova Scotia, by expanding the examination of Scottish influences from the customary focus on Highland migrants to also include mercantile, philanthropic and professional transatlantic connections, and by studying… (more information)

The Politics of Policy-Making in Multilateral Organisations
Edited by Birgit Müller
The Gloss of Harmony focuses on agencies of the United Nations, examining the paradox of entrusting relatively powerless and underfunded organisations with the responsibility of tackling some of the essential problems of our time.

Food for Change
The Politics and Values of Social Movements
Pete Luetchford, Jeff Pratt
Concern about our food system is growing, from the costs of industrial farming to the dominant role of supermarkets and recurring scandals about the origins and content of what we eat. Food for Change documents the way alternative food movements respond to these concerns by trying to create more closed economic circuits within which people know where, how, and by whom their food is produced. Jeff Pratt, Peter Luetchford and other contributors explore the key political and economic questions… (more information)
Ethnicity and Nationalism, 3rd edition
Anthropological Perspectives
Thomas Hylland Eriksen
Ethnicity and nationalism are pervasive features of the contemporary world, but how far is ethnicity a result of cultural differences, and how much is it in fact dependent on the practical use of, and belief in, such differences? In this book, Thomas Hylland Eriksen demonstrates that far from being an immutable property of groups, ethnicity is a dynamic and shifting aspect of social relationships. Drawing on a wide range of classic and recent studies in anthropology and sociology, Eriksen examines… (more information)
Ecological Hoofprint
The Global Burden of Industrial Livestock
Tony Weis
The exploding global consumption of meat is implicated in momentous but greatly underappreciated problems, and industrial livestock production is the driving force behind soaring demand. Following his previous groundbreaking Zed book The Global Food Economy, Tony Weis explains clearly why the growth and industrialization of livestock production is a central part of the accelerating biophysical contradictions of industrial capitalist agriculture. The Ecological Hoofprint provides a rigorous… (more information)
Discovering Cape Breton Folklore
Richard MacKinnon
For more than two decades, Richard MacKinnon — Canada Research Chair in Intangible Cultural Heritage, Cape Breton University — has researched Cape Breton's rich cultural heritage: from protest songs to company houses, from co-operative housing to nicknames, from log buildings to cockfighting. In Discovering Cape Breton Folklore, professor MacKinnon revisits some of his research and exposes us to some new. (more information)
Depicting the Veil
Transnational Sexism and the War on Terror
Robin Lee Riley
This powerful book exposes how gendered Orientalism is wielded to justify Western imperialism. Over the last ten years, Western governments and mainstream media have utilized concepts of white masculine supremacy and feminine helplessness, juxtaposed with Orientalist images depicting women of color as mysterious, sinister and dangerous to support war. Oscillating between 'Mrs. Anthrax', female suicide bombers and tragic, helpless victims, representations of 'brown women… (more information)
Contesting Publics
Feminism, Activism, Ethnography
Sally Cole, Lynne Phillips
Through ethnographic cases and activists' narratives, Contesting Publics analyses the challenges feminists face as they seek to engage with new spaces of participatory democracy in Latin America. Lynne Phillips and Sally Cole analyse how new silences, exclusions and re-inscriptions of inequalities have emerged alongside these new spaces of participation. The book re-examines the relationship between public and private and speaks to a larger theoretical question: what is the meaning of &lsquo… (more information)
Community, Cosmopolitanism and the Problem of Human Commonality
Vered Amit
Globalisation has dislocated community relations, and yet notions of community remain central to our sense of who we are. This book examines the changing nature of community through an exploration of mobile subjects, such as migrants and business travellers, and the tension between culturally specific notions of identity and a universal sense of humanity. The authors develop a 'cosmopolitan anthropology' which engages with both the specific and the universal. This book offers a new… (more information)
The Apocalyptic Politics of Collapse and Rebirth
James Davis, Sasha Lilley, David McNally, Eddie Yuen
Our world is reeling from dire economic crises and ecological disasters. Visions of the apocalypse and impending doom abound. Governments warn that no alternative exists to taking the bitter medicine they prescribe. Catastrophism explores the politics of apocalypse—on the left and right, in the environmental movement, and from capital and the state—and examines why the lens of catastrophe distorts our understanding of the dynamics at the heart of numerous disasters and fatally… (more information)
Capability of Places
Methods for Modelling Community Response to Intrusion and Change
Sandra Wallman
How can we assess the ability of a place to respond to challenges like migration, recession and disease? Places which seem similar can respond very differently, and with varying degrees of success, to external threats and to the interventions designed to manage them. In this magisterial work, drawing on decades of research, Sandra Wallman explores how we can measure and compare the resilience of communities, looking in detail at neighbourhoods in London, Rome and Zambia. Each locale is examined… (more information)
Anthropology's World
Life in a Twenty-First Century Discipline
Ulf Hannerz
In this masterly, state of the art work, Ulf Hannerz maps the contemporary social world of anthropologists and its relation to the wider world in which they carry out their work. Raising fundamental questions such as 'What is anthropology really about?', 'How does the public understand, or misunderstand, anthropology?' and 'What and where do anthropologists study now, and for whom do they write?' Hannerz invites anthropologists to think again about where their… (more information)
Anthropology of Mothering
Edited by Naomi McPherson, Michelle Walks
In anthropology, cross-cultural research is fundamental. In relation to "mothering," cross-cultural research becomes enlightening, not only to understand the practices of so-called Others, but also to understanding ourselves. The Anthropology of Mothering has developed fairly unnoticed until the last couple of years, when an increase of research, attention, and respect has suddenly appeared. In this light, An Anthropology of Mothering draws attention to recent anthropological research… (more information)

I'm a chemistry major and I haven't taken much math, but this came up in a discussion of quantum chemistry and my professor said (not very confidently) that if a matrix is diagonalizable, then you should be able to diagonalize it to the identity matrix. I suspect this is true for symmetrical matrices, but not all matrices. Is that correct?
No. If $PAP^{-1} = I$ where $I$ is the identity then $A = P^{-1}IP = P^{-1}P = I$. So in fact only the identity matrix can be diagonalized to the identity matrix. |
Take the $0$ $n\times n$ matrix. It's already diagonal (and symmetrical) but certainly can't be diagonalized to the identity matrix. |
The usual meaning of "diagonalization" is diagonalization by similarity transform, which takes the form of $PAP^{-1}=D$. As the others have shown, the only matrix that can be diagonalized into the identity matrix is the identity matrix itself. Yet, depending on the context, your professor may refer to diagonalization by congruence, which takes the form of $P^\ast AP=D$. If he implicitly assumes that $A$ is positive definite, then his assertion is true: $P^\ast AP=D\,\Rightarrow\,(PD^{-1/2})^\ast A(PD^{-1/2})=I$. However, since I know absolutely nothing about quantum chemistry, I can't say if he really meant this. |

Photo: Marc Royce Q: My brother, who has had financial difficulties, is in charge of all my mother's banking because she has dementia. He refuses to share any information with me, but I've found out that he is living off her money. My mother has no idea and certainly wouldn't approve of his actions if she did. It seems as though my brother has figured out the perfect crime. Please tell me how to stop him from stealing what should be our inheritance after she dies.
A: My estate planning attorney, Janet Dobrovolny, says your recourse depends on your brother's official role in handling your mother's finances. If he has been legally appointed to serve as her conservator or guardian, he's required to fill out a detailed report on how he used the money. You can contact the court and file a complaint challenging his management; most probate courts have investigators who will look into questionable behavior. If your brother is accessing your mother's funds through financial power of attorney, you have a tougher task. First, you need to go before the probate court and petition to become your mother's conservator. Once you've been appointed, you need to sue your brother for fraud to get a proper investigation into what he's done with the money and to make the case that he should lose his authority. Hiring a lawyer and paying court fees could cost about $20,000, and unfortunately, there's no guarantee you will ever be able to recoup your mother's assets. I want people to understand that they can prevent this from happening by making sure they have a revocable living trust with an incapacity clause. With this document, it's a straightforward process to file a petition with the courts to request an accounting of how the successor trustee is spending the money and, if cause is determined, to ask the court to remove him or her. In cases of financial elder abuse, a trustee who is found to have misused funds can be made to pay damages. You might spend $2,500 or so to have a qualified estate attorney draw up trust documents for you. Compared with the stress of trying to undo the devastation that can occur when you don't have the trust in place, this seems like a good investment to me. Ask friends for attorney recommendations, or get some leads at the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org). From the September 2008 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

I interrupt this series of insubstantial posts to tell you something important:
It's "the girl who stopped swimming" by Joshilyn Jackson, and it's fantastic. No surprise, really, everything she writes is fantastic. But this? I couldn't put it down.
It's the story of Laurel (a quilt artist!) who is sorting out her relationships with her husband, daughter, sister, mother, and past when a death occurs. It's about seeing and not seeing, about how family members support and undermine each other, how mothers and daughters protect and wound each other ... and more. I love Joshilyn's amazing prose -- lilting and funny and clever -- and I found myself slowing myself down to savor the beautiful writing.
After you read this (and you must! Immediately!) go read her other books if you haven't already -- "gods in Alabama" and "Between, Georgia." They're both wonderful. (Although this one might be my favorite. Or "gods in Alabama." I'm not sure.)
And then head on over to Faster than Kudzu, author Joshilyn's blog which will keep you charmed and laughing for hours.
We now return to our regularly scheduled inanity.

Media Volume keeps going down on its own.
When listening to music or podcasts everything is fine. Then I get a call. Then end the call. Then I have to manually turn up the volume to hear the music again. I have had the Evo since launch day and this only started about a 10 days ago.
For some reason the media volume goes down after the call. I even did a hard reset. Re-installed everything from scratch. The problem was gone for a few days but re-surfaced. its bugging the help out of me.
Any help would be appreciated. - 07-20-2010, 01:52 PM #2
Volume button sticking maybe? I had that problem on my Pre.
I have the same problem. I am trying to find some kind of widget or program that can return the media volume once I'm done with phone call.
Here's the scenario of what happens:
Listen to music with EVO, then a call comes in. Music stop/pause automatically in the background. Once I'm done with the phone call, then return to the music, but the MEDIA volume is all the way down. - 07-29-2010, 01:51 PM #4
Audiomanager from the market is good... but I don't think it's what you guys want.
If you mean you have to go into settings and turn the volume up that way, then audiomanager would be good because it's a widget and you can turn up/down media volume on its own.
I see why a call would turn down the media volume, but after it ends there's nothing that it does to turn it back up.

I just installed Volume Locker, it seem to fixed the problem since it locks the media volume and doesn't lower it. I think my problem is fixed for now
Re: Media Volume keeps going down on its own.
This is one of those offensive, irritating, big brother type interferences that come from allowing lawyers and think tanks into any process. They are turning it down automatically to a level they deem safe for our hearing (assuming that we are listening on headphones, which I am not - I listen on speakers). I keep getting a pop up message that says so. I would love to be able to disable the feature that allows an outside power other than me to fiddle with the volume, or any other control.

Ask Mr. Smarty Plants is a free service provided by the staff and volunteers at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
Can't find the answer in our existing FAQs, submit a question to Mr. Smarty Plants.
Need help with plant identification, visit the plant identification page.
From: Brooklyn, NY
Region: Northeast
Topic: Green Roofs
Title: Green roof in New York City
Answered by: Nan Hampton and Mark Simmons
According to this site, there are two types of green roofs, extensive and intensive. Extensive green roofs use low-lying plants that provide groundcover and are very drought tolerant. Intensive green roofs use plants that provide more of a natural landscape that may have heights of several feet and require deeper soil depth and irrigation.
The priniciple types of plants that Snodgrass recommends are succulents, in particular, sedums or stonecrops. This limits the native plants available that are native to New York to Sedum ternatum (woodland stonecrop).
Rhodiola rosea (roseroot stonecrop) is also native to New York, but is on the State Protected Plants in New York list, so is not really an option to use.
Here are a few suggestions for other plants native to New York that do well in the sun and require little water. They are generally low plants, <1 or 2 feet and should do well in on extensive green roof.
Koeleria macrantha (prairie Junegrass)
Sporobolus heterolepis (prairie dropseed)
Antennaria neglecta (field pussytoes)
Cerastium arvense (field chickweed)
Coreopsis lanceolata (lanceleaf tickseed)
Erysimum capitatum (sanddune wallflower)
Hypoxis hirsuta (common goldstar)
Lithospermum canescens (hoary puccoon)
Rudbeckia hirta var. pulcherrima (blackeyed Susan)
