Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990) is a World Fantasy Award nominated[1][2] novel written in collaboration between the English authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The book is a comedy about the birth of the son of Satan, the coming of the End Times and the attempts of the angel Aziraphale and the demon (Anthony J) Crowley to avert them, having become accustomed to their comfortable situations in the human world. A subplot features the growing up of the Antichrist, Adam, and his gang, and the gathering of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—War, Famine, Pollution (Pestilence having retired in 1936 following the discovery of penicillin), and Death—the last of whom is characterised in a manner reminiscent of the personification of Death in Pratchett's Discworld novels and calls himself Azrael before his final exit. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 68 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.[3]
Plot summary[edit]
It is the coming of the End Times: the Apocalypse is near, and Final Judgment will soon descend upon the human species. This comes as a bit of bad news to the angel Aziraphale (who was the guardian of the Eastern Gate of Eden) and the demon Crowley (who, when he was originally named Crawly, was the serpent who tempted Eve to eat the apple), respectively the representatives of Heaven and Hell on Earth, as they have become used to living their cozy, comfortable lives and have, in a perverse way, taken a liking to humanity. As such, since they are good friends (despite ostensibly representing the polar opposites of Good and Evil), they decide to work together and keep an eye on the Antichrist, destined to be the son of a prominent American diplomat stationed in Britain, and thus ensure he grows up in a way that means he can never decide between Good and Evil, thereby postponing the end of the world.
Unfortunately, Warlock, the child everyone thinks is the Anti-Christ is, in fact, a perfectly normal eleven-year-old boy. Due to mishandling of several infants in the hospital, the real Anti-Christ is Adam Young, a charismatic and slightly otherworldly eleven-year-old who, despite being the harbinger of the Apocalypse, has lived a perfectly normal life as the son of typical English parents and as a result has no idea of his true powers. As Adam blissfully and naively uses his powers, creating around him the world of Just William (because he thinks that is what an English child's life should be like), the race is on to find him. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse assemble and the incredibly accurate (yet so highly specific as to be useless) prophecies of Agnes Nutter, 17th-century prophetess, are rapidly coming true.
Agnes Nutter was a witch in the 17th century and the only truly accurate prophet to have ever lived. She wrote a book called The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, a collection of prophecies that did not sell very well because they were unspectacular, cryptic and, ironically enough, all true. She, in fact, decided to publish it only so that she could receive a free author's copy. There is only one copy of the book left, which belongs to her descendant Anathema Device. Agnes was burned at the stake by a mob (because that is what mobs did at that time); however, because she had foreseen her fiery end ("Ye're tardy; I should have been aflame ten minutes since") and had packed 80 pounds of gunpowder and 40 pounds of roofing nails into her petticoats, everyone who participated in the burning was killed instantly.
Anathema teams up with Newton Pulsifer, the descendant of the man who initiated the burning of Agnes, to use the prophecies and find the Antichrist. Unfortunately, that is exactly what everyone else is trying to do, and time is running out.
Origins and authorship[edit]
Gaiman and Pratchett had known each other since 1985 and it was their own idea, not that of their publisher, to collaborate on a novel.[4]
According to Gaiman, he originally began the book as a parody of Richmal Crompton's William books, named William the Antichrist, but it gradually outgrew the original idea.[5]
Neil Gaiman has said:
We were both living in England when we wrote it. At an educated guess, although neither of us ever counted, Terry probably wrote around 60,000 "raw" and I wrote 45,000 "raw" words of Good Omens, with, on the whole, Terry taking more of the plot with Adam and the Them in, and me doing more of the stuff that was slightly more tangential to the story, except that broke down pretty quickly and when we got towards the end we swapped characters so that we'd both written everyone by the time it was done, but then we also rewrote and footnoted each others bits as we went along, and rolled up our sleeves to take the first draft to the second (quite a lot of words), and, by the end of it, neither of us was entirely certain who had written what. It was indeed plotted in long daily phone calls, and we would post floppy disks (and this was back in 1988 when floppy disks really were pretty darn floppy) back and forth.[6]
Terry Pratchett has said:
I think this is an honest account of the process of writing Good Omens. It was fairly easy to keep track of because of the way we sent discs to one another, and because I was Keeper of the Official Master Copy I can say that I wrote a bit over two thirds of Good Omens. However, we were on the phone to each other every day, at least once. If you have an idea during a brainstorming session with another guy, whose idea is it? One guy goes and writes 2,000 words after thirty minutes on the phone, what exactly is the process that's happening? I did most of the physical writing because:
Initially, I did most of Adam and the Them and Neil did most of the Four Horsemen, and everything else kind of got done by whoever – by the end, large sections were being done by a composite creature called Terryandneil, whoever was actually hitting the keys. By agreement, I am allowed to say that Agnes Nutter, her life and death, was completely and utterly mine. And Neil proudly claims responsibility for the maggots. Neil's had a major influence on the opening scenes, me on the ending. In the end, it was this book done by two guys, who shared the money equally and did it for fun and wouldn't do it again for a big clock.[4]
- I had to. Neil had to keep Sandman going – I could take time off from the DW;
- One person has to be overall editor, and do all the stitching and filling and slicing and, as I've said before, it was me by agreement – if it had been a graphic novel, it would have been Neil taking the chair for exactly the same reasons it was me for a novel;
- I'm a selfish bastard and tried to write ahead to get to the good bits before Neil.
- World Fantasy Award nominee for Best Novel, 1991[1]
- Locus Award nominee for Best Fantasy Novel, 1991[1]
- Mir Fantastiki Special Award for "The most anticipated book", 2012
- Won FantLab.ru poll for "Best Translated Novel", 2012[2]
Alterations between versions[edit]
The United States edition of Good Omens had numerous alterations to the text. The most significant alteration to the main text is the addition of an extra 700-word section just before the end, dealing with what happened to the character of Warlock, the American diplomat's son, who was swapped with Adam.[7] The American edition also adds numerous footnotes not found in British editions.
The Dutch translation of Good Omens contains a preface by the translator wherein he asserts that no extra footnotes were added to clarify matters that might be unclear to a modern audience—annotated with footnotes explaining omen and Crowley.
In the French version, some characters were given French-sounding names. Agnes Nutter became Agnès Barge (barge is French for nutter), Anathema Device became Anathème Bidule (Bidule being French for Device). Crowley became Rampa (as 'Crawly' became 'Crowley', 'Rampant' became 'Rampa'), after the infamous author of The Third Eye, T.L. Rampa. The French publisher of Good Omens (J'Ai Lu) was also the French publisher of the T.L. Rampa books.
Possible sequel[edit]
668—The Neighbour of the Beast was slated as the title for a sequel to Good Omens, but after Neil Gaiman moved to the United States, Terry Pratchett expressed doubt that a sequel would be written.[7] Neil Gaiman later affirmed this in one of his essays, titled Terry Pratchett: An Appreciation.
Film version[edit]
A film, directed by Terry Gilliam, was planned. As of 2002 Gilliam still hoped to make the film with its already completed script,[8] but by 2006 it seemed to have come to nothing. Funding was slow to appear and Gilliam moved on to other projects. There was a rumour that Johnny Depp was originally cast as Crowley and Robin Williams as Aziraphale. However Neil Gaiman has said on his website, "Well, Robin's worked with Terry Gilliam before as well, of course, most famously in The Fisher King. But I have no idea about Good Omens casting (except for Shadwell. Terry told me who he wanted to play Shadwell. I immediately forgot the man's name, although I can assure you that it wasn't Robin Williams)."[9] According to an interview in May 2006 at The Guardian's Hay Festival, Gilliam is apparently still hoping to go ahead with the film.
Gaiman confirmed in a podcast interview with Empire in 2013 that the majority of the funding for the film was in place in 2002, but the project couldn't attract the initial funding to begin production.
Even in 2008, Gilliam was still hopeful about the project. Neil Gaiman's Stardust and Beowulf were successful as films in 2007, which has given the Good Omens adaptation a better chance to get picked up. A Gilliam quote from an Empire interview: "And I thought with Neil, with Stardust and with Beowulf and there's another one – an animated film, a Henry Selick thing he's written Coraline, I was thinking he's really hot now, so maybe there's a chance. I mean it's such a wonderful book. And I think our script is pretty good, too. We did quite a few changes. We weren't as respectful as we ought to have been. But Neil's happy with it!"[10]
The history of this project and similar experiences with Gaiman's various other works (including The Sandman series) have led to his cynical view of the Hollywood process, a view which occasionally surfaces in his weblog[11] and in some of his short fiction. Terry Pratchett shares a similar opinion, and has been quoted as saying, "The difference between me and Neil in our attitude to movie projects is that he doesn't believe they're going to happen until he's sitting in his seat eating popcorn, and I don't believe they're going to happen."[citation needed]
Terry Pratchett has had many of the same issues with Hollywood 'suits',[12] but he, too, would love to see the film made.[citation needed]
In August 2012, Rhianna Pratchett, Terry Pratchett's daughter, announced an establishment of a new production company, Narrativia, which will, among other projects, produce a TV film based on Good Omens.[13][14]
Theatre version[edit]
In March 2013, Cult Classic Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland, performed Amy Hoff's adaptation of Good Omens with the permission of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.[15][16]
Television adaptation[edit]
In February 2011, it was reported that a television adaptation may be produced, with Terry Jones and Gavin Scott being "in talks" to write the series.[17]
On 19 March 2011 Neil Gaiman announced on his website that a television series adaptation of his novel Good Omens "is in the works from Terry Jones." with a link to Terry Pratchett's webpage confirming the news.[18] On December 11, 2013, both Gaiman and Pratchett posted the same picture of them together. Gaiman commented "No we are not plotting anything. Why do you think we are plotting something?" Pratchett stated "Not discussing Good Omens TV."

How New Jersey Could Make Itself the Next Napa
The Outer Coastal Plain might be the perfect place to make fine wine in America. The region, which has nearly the same sandy soil composition as Bordeaux, experiences a warm growing season; spring frosts are rare; and the breezes from the Atlantic Ocean and a local bay are ideal for winemaking.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, both of you. :)
1. Kudos to cybernoob for using an HTML5 doctype. :)
2. You don't need the type attribute on the script tag, so <script type="text/javascript"> could be shortened to just <script>
3. Instead of time=time-1; you can do either:
time -= 1;
time--; // I prefer this one
4. Scripts are best included at the end of your document just before the closing </body> tag.
5. You've got a minor case of divitis. ;) By that, I just mean your HTML markup is using a lot of non-semantic div elements, and there may be some semantic elements that make more sense.
6. You should avoid using inline event handlers (don't include onclick attributes within your HTML markup, instead attach the event handlers from the script itself).
Now, on to your question...
Lets step through the code.
1. User presses the "play" button, and startClock() is called.
2. startClock creates a local (this is important) variable t to store the result of setInterval, which is a timer id. However, as shingokko pointed out, your code is calling the clock function immediately, and it's the return value of that call to clock which will be called by setInterval. This can be corrected by wrapping the call to clock in an anonymous function definition. Basically, the first parameter to setInterval should be a function reference, and by including parenthesis after the function you are calling that function immediately. So, you could do this:
var t = setInterval(function() { clock(time, play);}, 1000);
When the interval happened, it would call the anonymous function, which in turn would call the clock function, passing in the global time and play variables as parameters. However, we need to look at the clock function...
Your clock function is attempting to modify the global variable time and play. However, you've defined the parameter variables of clock to have the same variable names as the globals, which means that your clock function will not be able to modify the global variables, and will instead only be operating on the local variables. So, why are we passing in those values? The local scope of those variables are preventing you from modifying the global ones, so lets get rid of them and change your function to this:
function clock() {
if (time > 0) {
document.getElementById("time").innerHTML = time;
return time;
play = false;
Ok, so clock no longer needs to take any parameters. This also means that we can modify our setInterval call from this:
var t = setInterval(function() { clock(time, play);}, 1000);
to this:
var t = setInterval(clock, 1000);
Note, no parenthesis... we're passing the clock function reference to setInterval.
Ok, back in the clock function...
Where was t defined? It was defined in the startClock function, outside of the scope of this clock function. In other words, t here is undefined. In order change that, t would need to be a global variable, which means removing the "var" from "var t = setInterval(clock, 1000);" in startClock, and preferably declaring var t; along with your global time and play variables.
One last note. Your clock function has 2 return lines, one that does return time, the other just returns. This function doesn't need to return anything, since nothing is acting on the return value. I would remove both of those lines to avoid any confusion.
Hope that helps.

From the start, I have continually prayed to see the beauty the way God wants me to see it. It's as if blinders have been removed from my eyes and I am seeing so many things for the first time, and on those special moments when downloading photos on the computer, and I have that 'ahhhhhhh' moment, or that photo that brings tears to my eyes, I feel humbled and grateful. Thank you for taking the time to view any of these images. I hope they bring a smile or even a Laugh Out Loud moment...I hope some may bring you a moment of peace, and I hope there will be those that touch your heart. I thank you from mine.

USA Baseball released its 2012 preseason Golden Spikes Award watch list on Thursday afternoon, and several players with some local ties made the cut. Kevin Gausman, a Denver-native and starting pitcher for the LSU Tigers, is one of the top players to watch this season. And three players who were drafted by the Colorado Rockies in 2011 -- but didn't sign with the team -- also made the list: Preston Tucker of the University of Florida, Ross Stripling of Texas A&M University and Peter O'Brien of the University of Miami (FL).
The Golden Spikes award is given to the person judged to be the top amateur baseball player in the nation. This initial 50-man watch list will be expanded to 60 at midseason (May 1), and then they will begin to narrow down the candidates. The award will be presented to the winner between July 9 and July 13.

American Brandon Cretu To Return To The Isle Of Man TT In 2013

American Brandon Cretu Will Return To Compete In The 2013 Isle Of Man TT
Three-time Isle of Man TT and recent Macau GP competitor, Brandon Cretu, will return to compete at the world renowned Isle of Man TT for the fourth straight season. He will compete in all three liter bike classes; Superstock, Superbike, and Senior. Fresh off his first visit to compete in the 2012 Macau Grand Prix, Cretu is keen to get back on the roads and further make himself a staple in the rider line-up that fans see when they open the program.
For those unfamiliar with the TT races, it is considered the ultimate test of man and motorcycle. Held once a year on the Isle of Man, a small island resting in between England and Ireland, it regularly attracts tens of thousands of spectators from all over the world to partake in the festival and watch the amazing races. The course is over 37 miles long and snakes across the entire island's public roads which are shutdown for the races to take place. The 2013 TT starts on May 25 and lasts until June 8.
"I am really excited to get back to the TT this year, it is all any TT rider thinks about all year long...setting off down Bray Hill at ludicrous speed. There is nothing quite like it! I am really stoked to be on Dunlops for the TT this year as well. Dunlop USA has really stepped up and I will be riding US built NTec's around the Mountain Course. After using them at the Macau GP last year I know how good they are and I know they will help give me the confidence I need to propel me to a personal best finish." said Cretu.
"My program isn't quite fully together yet as I am still in need of a title sponsor and some financial help to get myself and my crew over to the island. Many sponsors have already donated some items for my yearly fundraiser so that should help absorb a lot of the massive costs involved in racing at the TT. I am still working on some interesting deals though which I hope to announce in the coming weeks which will be very exciting for my fans and sponsors as well." said Cretu.
Cretu would like to thank all of his amazing sponsors who have signed up for another successful year at the prestigious Isle of Man TT. However, he is still in need of sponsors for his 2013 TT effort, interested sponsors can contact him via the contact page on his website or directly at email@example.com. He is especially in need of airfare to get himself and his crew to the Isle of Man.
Fans are encouraged to continue to follow his 2013 Isle of Man TT preparations on his website,

I only got this because the Waitrose own brand equivalent - a 5 star product - was sold out. What a mistake. WIth a slimy texture and an excessively sweet taste - and I drink Cocoa Cola buy the pint, I know what sweet is - this is plain nasty. The label claims the pate contains onions, but I certainly couldn't taste any. My impression is this is basically a small pot of mechanically recovered meat. I'm at a loss as to how the Duchy of Cornwall makes so much money if this is the junk they sell. Does anyone ever come back for a second purchase? I know I won't.

Bit of a let down
This is incredibly sweet and it tastes just wrong. I couldn't even finish eating the small amount I took as a taster when it got delivered and forced it onto my flatmate to try. I couldn't really taste any other flavours over the cloying sweetness so won't be buying again. I've given this two stars but only because my flatmate didn't think it was that bad.

This is clearly a specialty lens. I'd never use it a core part of my kit. However, I had fun taking a variety of shots...including ones of my house that made every room look twice the size (you've seen these kinds of shots many times if you've been on the website of any hotel, especially in Europe!). And of course, you have to deal with the distorted perspective at the edges at the 10mm range--which I know you can fix somewhat in PhotoShop, but I haven't had the chance to try that yet. If I ever owned, or rented, this type of lens again, I'd probably go for a fixed 10mm, since at 24mm, it doesn't do justice to what the lens was intended for. And it's frustrating to think of that zoom range as really a zoom, since 24mm is hardly getting you close to the subject. BTW, this was my first Borrowed Lens rental--it all worked out great. Looking forward to the next time.

Description |
I used this lens for a landscape shooting trip to the beach & it was a DREAM!! I completely fell in love with this one. The image quality was unbeatable & the autofocus was fast (which was nessacary when dealing with moving water!). Of course you get all the quality & reliability as always with Nikon. I couldn't believe the difference going with a few mm wider lens. I used this on my D90 and D3000 and my friend used it on his D60. HIGHLY recommend for landscape photographers and it's a must purchase item for me now.
Three of us rented this lens to share, and two of us ended up buying the lens after returning it. We all LOVED this lens. There wasn't anything we couldn't fit in to a frame with this lens.
I have rented this lens on two occasions and love it. It has always arrived in perfect condition and I have never had any issues with the equipment or service from BorrowLenses.com. This lens is a perfect match for anyone wanting to work with wide-angle shots on a DX-sensor Nikon DSLR ... I am currently shooting a D90 and love some of the shots I have gotten with this lens. Very sharp and for as wide as you can get the lens distortion is relatively minor.
I didn't have all that many situations that called for it, but when I did use it I found it to be a great lens! Even at longer exposures (1/60) it seemed about as sharp as my 18-200mm DX VRII, despite the lack of stabilization. However, I'd really recommend stopping it down in order to control blur in the edges.

One of the boldest public relations decisions in sports today was the LPGA's edict that golfers must learn English and be able to speak it appropriately, or face suspension.
The LPGA argues that due to its affiliation with sponsors based in English-speaking countries, the players on the tour must be able to communicate in the language of those sponsors, who are giving up the money that makes women's professional golf possible.
On the other side, civil rights activists are saying the rule Title violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
A sticky ethical decision on behalf of the LPGA, no doubt.
Kudos to TheBasketballGuru for tackling such a controversial topic, and presenting his opinion with quality writing, sensitivity to both sides and providing an intelligent solution to the dilemma.
Written in a very clear, structured manner, BBGuru states he doesn't agree with the LPGA's decision to make this rule. He recognizes two sides to the story, but waits until after he's objectively presented the LPGA's reasoning behind the decision before writing why he disagrees:
"I personally believe that they could have been a tad more subtle with their message, maybe a fine or missing out on one event or a sanction, but removing their tour card? I see handfuls of non-English speaking golfers on the PGA tour and it doesn't seem to be a problem to them."
He calls on readers to post their reactions to the story and to his column, and he ilicited more than a few intelligent responses representing both sides.
It's short-but-poginiant look at a big issue in today's sporting world. Whichever side of the fence the reader is on, BBGuru cannot be accused of irresponsible reporting or sensationalized writing.

So much for all that extra security -- Kim Kardashian's buddy and "Spin Crowd" star Jonathan Cheban was attacked by a rogue Kris Humphries supporter in NYC yesterday ... taking a flour bomb to the face.
TMZ broke the story ... Cheban had been receiving threats ever since he announced plans to sue Kris Humphries -- claiming the NBA star called him "gay" on TV.
Cheban beefed up his security to ward off any potential threats during an event yesterday at Kim's NYC store -- but clearly, it wasn't effective.
Sources tell us, there was no mistaking the attacker's motivation -- before launching his powder assault, the flour phantom yelled, "This is for Kris Humphries!" Police were unable to locate the culprit.
2:04 PM PT: A rep for Kris tells TMZ, Kris "would never condone hateful and unacceptable behavior like that to anyone, in any situation."
Hry Cheban, the Kardashians are going down the toilet, hold on tight!
230,000 people have signed the petition, time to take out the trash!
I really don't understand the crazy people who have become Kris Humphries fans.
I can undersetand hating Kim (possibly).
But there is nothing about Kris to love... or be fanatical about.
I don't get it.
People don't like the kardashians. And people don't like them because they are arrogant. This guy is just as arrogant. Maybe now they will get off their high horses.
Ok, what Karda$hian set this up and made it sound like a Kris H fan did it. This family and their friends will do and say anything to stay in the news.
I don't believe it, I bet Jonathan or Kim paid someone to do this, then blame a Humphries fan. They are so desperate to do damage control to the images they chose to destroy, would not put it past Kim, her Mom or Jonathan to have set all of this little scene up for cameras and tabloid attention.
I call foul on this. It smells like the typical Kardashian melodramatics and histrionics.
They set it up I bet.
Not buying it. Just like the whole "going to Haiti for charity" bit, this reeks of Kartrashian spin. No one ever even heard of this gay dude before now. Oh wait, that's right...he claims he's not gay. I guess he's just "not the marrying kind" as my grandmother used to say.
Kris's sister must be working overtime. I wonder how he can afford it since he's out 600 Gs from his 'broker,' 2 mil. on an engagement ring, lawyers fees for the upcoming lawsuit and no bites for a BB contract. It's no wonder he wants his mommy.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAH thats awesome. Jonathan Cheban is nothing but a poser on the celebrity train. Its ok honey, dont be a drag, just be a queen. We ALL know u are!!

Question: So now that we have quickly and predictably sorted out CBS's switch of We Are Men with Mike & Molly (and you called that one out a long time ago), can we now focus on further obvious moves for the Fox, NBC and ABC sitcom slates? I know Fox wants to be in the Seth MacFarlane business, but how soon can we banish the 1990s relic Dads and replace it with Raising Hope, which is just screaming to be back on Tuesdays? Can NBC just return low-rated but at least cult classic Community back to Thursdays where yes, it will do poorly but at least it has 80-plus episodes to its name and more value than these dire new cadets, so bye-bye Welcome to the Family, which was wrongly paired with Parks and Recreation to begin with. I can also live without Sean Hayes' and Michael J Fox's "supposed" comebacks, but one step at a time for poor NBC.

I'm an American, so this 4g iPad is only 4g within the states or is it just not even a 4g model?
Only 4g in states
I love it how Australia only sued apple when I garuntee Motorola or Samsung have "4g" devices there too. But then again karmas a b*tch
4G within USA and Canada, 3G everywhere else. AT&T has relatively little LTE (near-4G) coverage compared to Verizon, but is advertising their HSPA as 4G which is simply bogus.
In Australia it is like in the uk the 4g tech will never work with their 4g networks as they use different hardware! But then who buys a iPad for the Internet speed?? I bought mines for screen quality, ease of use, compatibility with existing apps I already own!
Ahh actually Samsung do. A working 4G tablet that is, the Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9 4G. Since they managed to make their Tablets and phones properly compatible with Australia's 4G network... So I don't know exactly what your comment's aimed at? What, that Samsung or say Motorola are also guilty of promoting non-compatible 4G devices they way Apple where until just now...?

Kathleen Sebelius
Kathleen Sebelius, née Kathleen Gilligan (born May 15, 1948, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.), American Democratic politician who served as governor of Kansas (2003–09) and as secretary of health and human services (2009– ) in the cabinet of Pres. Barack Obama.
She grew up in Ohio, and her father, John Gilligan, was governor of that state from 1971 to 1975. She earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Trinity College in Washington, D.C., in 1970. After graduating, she remained in the capital, working at the Center for Correctional Justice. While there, she met Gary Sebelius, a law student at Georgetown University and the son of U.S. congressman Keith Sebelius. The two were married in 1974, and they moved to his home state of Kansas. She earned a master's degree in public administration from the University of Kansas in 1977, and the following year she became director of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association. In 1986 Sebelius was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives, and it was there that she began working on health care and family issues.
Sebelius ran for the office of state insurance commissioner in 1994, and her victory made her the first Democrat to hold that position since the 19th century. As insurance commissioner, she supported a patient's bill of rights on matters of care and opposed the sale of Kansas's largest health insurance company on the basis that the deal would have raised premiums for plan members. She emphasized the need to expand care and reduce cost, and she easily won reelection in 1998. Health care reform was a key issue in her campaign for governor of Kansas in 2002. Running as a Democrat in an overwhelmingly Republican state, Sebelius nonetheless won by a comfortable margin. As governor, she established herself as a skilled negotiator, brokering deals with the Republican-dominated legislature to pass bills on education funding and to streamline the state's health care bureaucracy. She was reelected in 2006, and her visibility began to rise within the national Democratic Party. In 2007 she became the first woman to head the Democratic Governors Association, and the following year she offered the Democratic response to Pres. George W. Bush's State of the Union address. After Tom Daschle withdrew from contention for the position of secretary of health and human services in the cabinet of President Obama, Sebelius was nominated to the post in March 2009; she was confirmed by the Senate the following month.
Sebelius was immediately tasked with overseeing the government response to a possible outbreak of H1N1 flu. Dispelling various fears about the vaccine, she encouraged Americans to be inoculated; reported cases of the disease were far fewer than expected. Sebelius also helped garner support for President Obama's efforts to reform health care. The landmark bill—which extended health care to some 30 million previously uninsured Americans and prohibited insurers from denying coverage to people with preexisting conditions—was signed by the president in March 2010.

Writing HTML with m4
Unfortunately, m4 needs some taming. A little time spent on familiarisation will pay dividends. Definitive documentation is available (for example, in the Emacs info documentation system) but, without being a complete tutorial, here are a few tips based on my experiences.
m4's quotation characters are the grave accent ` which starts the quote, and the acute accent ' which ends it. It may help to put all arguments to macros in quotes, for example:
_HEAD1(`This is a heading')
The main reason for using quotes is to prevent confusion if commas are contained in an argument to a macro, since m4 uses commas to separate macro parameters. For example, the line _CODE(foo, bar) would put the foo in the HTML output but not the bar. Use quotes in the line _CODE(`foo, bar'), and it works properly.
The biggest problem with m4 is that some versions of it swallow key words that it recognises, such as include, format, divert, file, gnu, line, regexp, shift, unix, builtin and define. You can protect these words by putting them in single quotes, for example:
Smart people `include' Linux in their list of computer essentials.
The trouble is, this is both inconvenient and easy to forget.
A safer way to protect keywords (my preference) is to invoke m4 with the -P or --prefix-builtins option. Then all built-in macro names are modified so that they all begin with the prefix m4_ and ordinary words are left as is. For example, using this option, one would write m4_define instead of define (as shown in the examples in this article). One hitch is that not all versions of m4 support this option—most notably some PC versions under MS-DOS.
Comment lines in m4 begin with the # character—everything from the # to the end of the line is ignored and output unchanged. If you want to use # in the HTML page, you must quote it like this: `#'. Another option (my preference) is to change the m4 comment character to something exotic with a line like this:
and not have to worry about # symbols in your text.
If you want to use comments in the m4 file but not have them appear in the final HTML file, use the macro m4_dnl (dnl = Delete to New Line). This macro suppresses everything until the next newline character.
m4_define(_NEWMACRO, `foo bar') m4_dnl This is a comment
Yet another way to have source code ignored is the m4_divert command. The main purpose of m4_divert is to save text in a temporary buffer for inclusion in the file later—for example, in building a table of contents or index. However, if you divert to "-1", it just goes to limbo-land. This option is useful for getting rid of the whitespace generated by the m4_define command. For example:
m4_divert(-1) diversion on m4_define(this ...) m4_define(that ...) m4_divert diversion turned off
Another tip for when things go wrong is to increase the number of error diagnostics that m4 outputs. The easiest way to do this is to add the following to your m4 file as debugging commands:
m4_debugmode(e) m4_traceon ... buggy lines ... m4_traceoff
It should be noted that HTML 3.0 does have an include statement that looks like this:
<!--#include file="junk.html" -->
However, the HTML include has the following limitations:
The work of including and interpreting the include is done on the server-side before downloading and adds overhead as the server has to scan files for include statements.
Most servers (especially public ISPs) deactivate this feature because of the large overhead.
Include is all you get—no macro substitution, no parameters to macros, no ifdef, etc., as with m4.
There are several other features of m4 that I have not yet exploited in my HTML ramblings so far, such as regular expressions. It might be interesting to create a "standard" stdlib.m4 for general use with nice macros for general text processing and HTML functions. By all means download my version of stdlib.m4 as a base for your own hacking. I would be interested in hearing of useful macros, and if there is enough interest, maybe a Mini-HOWTO could evolve from this article.
There are many additional advantages to using Linux to develop HTML pages, far beyond the simple assistance given by the typical typing aids and WYSIWYG tools. Certainly, I will go on using m4 until HTML catches up—I will then do my last make and drop back to using pure HTML. I hope you enjoy these little tricks and encourage you to contribute your own.
Bob Hepple has been hacking at Unix since 1981 under a variety of excuses and has somehow been paid for it at least some of the time. It's allowed him to pursue another interest—living in warm, exotic countries including Hong Kong, Australia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Lesotho and (presently) Singapore. His initial aversion to the cold was learned in the UK. Ambition—to stop working for the credit card company and tax man and to get a real job. Bob can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
