VIDEO: Texting Guy Barely Escapes Bumping Into Bear
By Mark Memmott
If this doesn't make you want to put down that cellphone, we don't know what will.
Watch what happened as Los Angeles TV station KTLA was tracking a black bear as it wandered through a neighborhood in La Crescenta, Calif., Tuesday morning.
Local resident Vaz Terdandenyan almost walked right into the 400-pound animal.
He'd gone outside to see why a helicopter was hovering over the area, and "I was texting my boss that I would be late for work because something is going on," he told the station afterward.
"I'm coming down the stairs and I see the bear coming up the stairs toward me," Terdandenyan added. "I turned back and I ran for my life."
All we can say is OMG.

Dog survives after getting shot in ear [UPDATED]
Published 11:00am Thursday, February 2, 2012 Updated 11:06am Thursday, February 2, 2012A rescued shelter dog is lucky to be alive after she was shot early Saturday morning and the dog's owners are offering a reward to anyone who can identify the shooter.
Gail Pratt of rural Clitherall, let Midge, a 3-year-old terrier mix, outside at about 9 a.m., according to Gail's husband, Jim, and a few minutes later heard a single gunshot.
She called for Midge — who she refers to as "Barbie's best friend" — and the dog showed up on the door step a few minutes later with a bloody ear. Thinking the dog had cut her ear on a fence, Gail took Midge to Lakes Veterinary Hospital in Battle Lake.
Dr. Jeffrey Lukken told her the dog had a gunshot wound, likely from a .22-caliber gun. The minimal damage to the ear was the basis for his decision.
"It really was a slam dunk," Lukken said, "because you could see where the bullet creased the hair behind the ear."
The bullet went through the dog's right ear, just a quarter inch from her skull. Another inch and the Pratts would have had to bury Midge, said Jim.
"It was very close to her skull," he said. "She's a very lucky dog, indeed."
What is most bothersome to Jim is not knowing what happened.
"It could have been an accident," he said. "Or maybe she was mistaken for a coyote. Perhaps she wandered onto someone's property and they over-reacted because they didn't like seeing a dog there."
Jim discounts the mistaken identity. A neighbor who happened to be walking his dog at the time of the shot, told the Pratts he heard barking, the shot, then silence.
"So the shooter knew that it was a dog," Jim said.
There are several neighbors with livestock and Jim said it's possible the shooter thought the dog was wild and chasing the animals. It is legal to shoot dogs if they are chasing livestock, he said, but he discounts that, too.
"Midge wears tags that clearly have our (phone) number," he said. "They could have called us. If she was somewhere she wasn't supposed to be, that's our fault. We would take responsibility and work with the homeowner to make sure it didn't happen again. A gun shot instead of a call is an overreaction."
Jim walked around his property looking for tracks, and talked with a Department of Natural Resources officer and an Otter Tail County Sheriff's deputy, but was unable to make any determinations about what happened.
The couple has put up flyers detailing what they know and is offering a $100 reward to anyone who can help identify the person who shot their dog.
"We just want to know what happened for our own peace of mind," Jim wrote on the flyer. "If it was malicious, we want to stop it so another innocent animal doesn't suffer the same fate."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Members of the Kanawha County Parks and Recreation Commission and county parks employees will receive state ethics training and revise their vehicle and donation policies in the wake of a tangle with the state Ethics Commission.
Parks board president Anna Dailey offered the information during an uncomfortable interrogation of the parks board by members of the Kanawha County Commission on Thursday.
County Commission President Kent Carper and Commissioner Dave Hardy are upset with parks officials over the handling of an ethics agreement signed recently by parks director Jeff Hutchinson. In the conciliation agreement, Hutchinson acknowledged using a county car to take his son to school, discounting picnic sites for charitable organizations and failing to tell ethics officials about a set of golf clubs that had been left at Coonskin Park but never opened. The clubs were eventually sent back.
Parks officials have generally stood behind Hutchinson, saying he had permission to use the car and discount picnic shelters. Following an executive session last week, the parks board voted to give Hutchinson a written reprimand for not telling ethics officials about the golf clubs, and voted to come up with policies on vehicle use and exactly how and when parks facilities can be discounted. They also required Hutchinson to attend ethics training.
But Dailey went further on Thursday, saying all parks board members and parks employees would be asked to take ethics training "so we all know what the rules are," she said.
"If we don't know what the rules are, how do our employees know what the rules are?"
Carper repeatedly attacked the parks board for talking about what to do about the ethics agreement in executive session, saying the Kanawha County Commission has not had a closed-door meeting in 16 years. Although parks officials can discuss personnel matters in executive session, he said nothing in state law requires them to.
"This is a public matter," he said. "It's public funds. I'm not fearful of discussing the public's business in public."
Hardy said he thought the punishment given Hutchinson should have been harsher. Although he conceded the allegations against the parks director may not be as bad as they appear, "What does the public think of this?" he said.

coder.varsize('var1', 'var2',
..., ubound, dims)
coder.varsize('var1', 'var2',
..., [], dims)
coder.varsize('var1', 'var2', ...) declares one or more variables as variable-size data, allowing subsequent assignments to extend their size. Each 'varn' must be a quoted string that represents a variable or structure field. If the structure field belongs to an array of structures, use colon (:) as the index expression to make the field variable-size for all elements of the array. For example, the expression coder.varsize('data(:).A') declares that the field A inside each element of data is variable sized.
coder.varsize('var1', 'var2', ..., ubound) declares one or more variables as variable-size data with an explicit upper bound specified in ubound. The argument ubound must be a constant, integer-valued vector of upper bound sizes for every dimension of each 'varn'. If you specify more than one 'varn', each variable must have the same number of dimensions.
coder.varsize('var1', 'var2', ..., ubound, dims) declares one or more variables as variable-sized with an explicit upper bound and a mix of fixed and varying dimensions specified in dims. The argument dims is a logical vector, or double vector containing only zeros and ones. Dimensions that correspond to zeros or false in dims have fixed size; dimensions that correspond to ones or true vary in size. If you specify more than one variable, each fixed dimension must have the same value across all 'varn'.
coder.varsize('var1', 'var2', ..., [], dims) declares one or more variables as variable-sized with a mix of fixed and varying dimensions. The empty vector [] means that you do not specify an explicit upper bound.
When you do not specify ubound, the upper bound is computed for each 'varn' in generated code.
When you do not specify dims, dimensions are assumed to be variable except the singleton ones. A singleton dimension is a dimension for which size(A,dim) = 1.
You must add the coder.varsize declaration before each 'varn' is used (read). You may add the declaration before the first assignment to each 'varn'.
coder.varsize cannot be applied to global variables.
coder.varsize is not supported for MATLAB® class properties.
You cannot use coder.varsize outside the MATLAB code intended for code generation. For example, the following code does not declare the variable, var, as variable-size data:
coder.varsize('var',10); codegen -config:lib MyFile -args var
Instead, include the coder.varsize statement inside MyFile to declare var as variable-size data. Alternatively, you can use coder.typeof to declare var as variable-size outside MyFile. It can then be passed to MyFile during code generation using the -args option. For more information, see coder.typeof.

Population exchange between Greece and Turkey
The 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey (Greek: Ἡ Ἀνταλλαγή, Turkish: Mübadele) was based upon religious identity, and involved the Greek Orthodox citizens of Turkey and the Muslim citizens of Greece. It was a major compulsory population exchange, or agreed mutual expulsion.
The "Convention Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations" was signed at Lausanne, Switzerland, on 30 January 1923, by the governments of Greece and Turkey. It involved approximately 2 million people (around 1.5 million Anatolian Greeks and 500,000 Muslims in Greece), most of whom were forcibly made refugees and de jure denaturalized from their homelands.
By January 1923, the vast majority of Asia Minor Greeks and Pontic Greeks had already fled during the recent Greco-Turkish War;[citation needed] nonetheless, they were taken into account in the convention. According to calculations, during the autumn of 1922, around 900,000 Orthodox refugees had arrived in Greece (including 50,000 Armenians).[1]
Historical background[edit]
The Greek-Turkish population exchange was a result of the Turkish War of Independence. After Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's entrance into Izmir,[2] followed by the abolition of the Ottoman Empire on November 1, 1922, a formal peace agreement was signed with Greece after months of negotiations in Lausanne on July 24, 1923. Two weeks after the treaty, the Allied Powers turned over Istanbul to the Nationalists, marking the final departure of occupation armies from Anatolia.[3]
On October 29, 1923, the Grand Turkish National Assembly announced the creation of the Republic of Turkey, a state that would encompass most of the territories claimed by Mustafa Kemal in his National Pact of 1920.[4]
The state of Turkey was headed by Mustafa Kemal's People's Party, which later became the Republican People's Party. The end of the War of Independence brought new administration to the region, but also brought new problems considering the demographic reconstruction of cities and towns, many of which had been abandoned. The Greek occupation and Turkish nationalist defense left many of Turkey's cities and villages plundered and in ruins.
After the Balkan Wars, Greece had almost doubled its territory, and the population of the state had risen from approximately 2.7 million to 4.8 million. With this newly annexed population, the proportion of 'minorities' in Greece rose to 13%, and following the end of the First World War, it increased to 20%. Most of the ethnic populations in these annexed territories were Muslim, but were not necessarily Greek in ethnicity. This is particularly true in the case of ethnic Albanians who inhabited the Çamëria region of Albania. During the deliberations held at Lausanne, the question of exactly who was Greek, Turkish or Albanian was routinely brought up. Greek and Albanian representatives determined that the Albanians in Greece, who mostly lived in the northwestern part of the state, were not Turkish, and were distinguishable from the Turks (Albanians in this region included both Muslims and Greek Orthodox). The government in Ankara still expected a thousand "Turkish-speakers" from the Çamëria to arrive in Anatolia for settlement in Erdek, Ayvalık, Menteşe, Antalya, Senkile, Mersin, and Adana. Ultimately, the Greek authorities decided to deport thousands of Muslims from the Çamëria region, together with myriad others from Larissa, Langada, Drama, Vodina, Serez, Edessa, Florina, Kilkis, Kavala, and Salonika. Between 1923 and 1930, the infusion of these refugees into Turkey would dramatically alter Anatolian society. By 1927, Turkish officials had settled 32,315 individuals from Greece in the province of Bursa alone.[4]
The road to the exchange[edit]
According to some sources, the population exchange, albeit messy and dangerous for many, was executed fairly quickly by respected supervisors.[5] If the goal of the exchange was to achieve ethnic-national homogeneity, then this was achieved by both Turkey and Greece. For example, in 1906, over 80 percent of the population of present-day Turkey were Muslims. By 1927, only 2.6 percent of the population of Turkey were non-Muslim.[6]
The architect of the exchange was Fridtjof Nansen, commissioned by the League of Nations. As the first official high commissioner for refugees, Nansen designed and supervised the exchange, taking into account the interests of Greece, Turkey, and other West European states. As a talented diplomat with experience resettling Russian, Armenian, and Assyrian refugees after the first World War, Nansen had also created a new travel document for displaced persons of the World War in the process. He was chosen to be in charge of the peaceful resolution of the Greek-Turkish war of 1912, responsible for the first step of population exchange design to full implementation by both countries. Although a population-exchange of this grand scale had not been carried out before in history, exchanging populations was nothing new, especially in the Balkans. This is seen in the small-scale transfers and exchanges of populations in the Balkans, such as the Greco-Bulgarian population exchange of 1919. Because of the unanimous decision by Western Europe, Greece, and Turkey that minority-protection, as developed by the concert of Europe, would not suffice to ameliorate ethnic tensions after the first World War, population-exchange was the only viable option.[7]
According to representatives from Ankara, the "amelioration of the lot of the minorities in Turkey' depended 'above all on the exclusion of every kind of foreign intervention and of the possibility of provocation coming from outside'. This could be achieved most effectively with an exchange, and 'the best guarantees for the security and development of the minorities remaining' after the exchange 'would be those supplied both by the laws of the country and by the liberal policy of Turkey with regard to all communities whose members have not deviated from their duty as Turkish citizens'. An exchange would also be useful as a response to violence in the Balkans; 'there were', in any event, 'over a million Turks without food or shelter in countries in which neither Europe nor America took nor was willing to take any interest'.
The population exchange was seen as the best form of minority protection as well as "the most radical and humane remedy" of all. Nansen believed that what was on the negotiating table at Lausanne was not ethno-nationalism, but rather, a "question" that "demanded 'quick and efficient' resolution without a minimum of delay." He believed that economic component of the problem of Greek and Turkish refugees deserved the most attention: "Such an exchange will provide Turkey immediately and in the best conditions with the population necessary to continue the exploitation of the cultivated lands which the departed Greek populations have abandoned. The departure from Greece of its Moslem citizens would create the possibility of rendering self-supporting a great proportion of the refugees now concentrated in the towns and in different parts of Greece". Nansen recognized that the difficulties were truly "immense", acknowledging that the population-exchange would require "the displacement of populations of many more than 1,000,000 people". He stated: "uprooting these people from their homes, transferring them to a strange new country, . . . registering, valuing and liquidating their individual property which they abandon, and . . . securing to them the payment of their just claims to the value of this property".[7]
The agreement promised that the possessions of the immigrants would be protected and allowed immigrants to carry "portable" belongings freely with themselves. It was required that possessions not carried across the Aegean sea to be recorded in lists; these lists were to be submitted to both governments for reimbursement. After a commission was established to deal with the particular issue of belongings (mobile and immobile) of the populations, this commission would decide the total sum to pay persons for their immovable belongings (houses, cars, land, etc.) It was also promised that in their new settlement, the immigrants would be provided with new possessions totaling the ones they had left behind. Greece and Turkey would calculate the total value of an immigrants belongings and the country with a surplus would pay the difference to the other country. All possessions left in Greece belonged to the Greek state and all the possessions left in Turkey belonged to the Turkish state. Because of the difference in nature of the populations, the possessions left behind by Greek elite of the economic classes in Anatolia was greater than the possessions of the Muslim farmers in Greece.[8]
M. Norman Naimark claimed that this treaty was the last part of an ethnic cleansing campaign to create an ethnically pure homeland for the Turks[9] Historian Dinah Shelton similarly wrote that "the Lausanne Treaty completed the forcible transfer of the country's Greeks."[10]
Lord Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary, said that he deeply regretted that the solution should be the compulsory exchange of population, a thoroughly bad and vicious solution, for which the world would pay a heavy penalty for a hundred years to come. He detested having anything to do with it. But to say it was a suggestion of the Greek government was ridiculous. It was a solution enforced by the action of the Turkish government in expelling these people from Turkish territory.[11]
Refugee camps[edit]
The Refugee Commission had no useful plan to follow to resettle the refugees. Having arrived in Greece for the purpose of settling the refugees on land, the Commission had no statistical data either about the number of the refugees or the number of available acres. When the Commission arrived in Greece, the Greek government had already settled provisionally 72, 581 agricultural families, almost entirely in Macedonia, where the houses abandoned by the exchanged Moslems, and the fertility of the land made their establishment practicable and auspicious.
In Turkey, the abandoned lands by the Christian populations caused many looting by incoming immigrants before the influx of immigrants of the population exchange. As a result, it was quite difficult to settle refugees in Anatolia as well since many of these homes were being taken over by displaced persons of war before the government could seize property.[12]
Political and economic effects of the exchange[edit]
More than one million refugees who left Turkey for Greece after the war in 1922, "indirectly", "partially" and through different mechanisms contributed to the unification of elites under an authoritarian regime in Turkey and Greece. In Turkey, the departure of the independent and strong economic elites, e.g. the Greek Orthodox populations, left the dominant state elites unchallenged. In fact, Caglar Keyder noted that "what this drastic measure [Greek-Turkish population exchange] indicates is that during the war years Turkey lost... [around 90 percent of the pre-war] commercial class, such that when the Republic was formed, the bureaucracy found itself unchallenged".The emerging business groups that supported the Free Republican Party in 1930 could not prolong the rule of a single-party without an opposition. Transition to multiparty politics depended on the creation of stronger economic groups in the mid-1940s, which was stifled due to the exodus of the Greek middle and upper economic classes. Hence, if the groups of Orthodox Christians stayed in Turkey after the formation of the nation-state, then there would have been a faction of society ready to challenge the emergence of single-party rule in Turkey. In Greece, contrary to Turkey, the arrival of the refugees broke the dominance of the monarchy and old politicians relative to the Republicans. In the elections of the 1920s most of the newcomers supported Eleftherios Venizelos. However, increasing grievances of the refugees caused some of the immigrants to shift their allegiance to the Communist Party and contributed to its increasing strength. Prime Minister Metaxas, with the support of the King, responded to the communists by establishing an authoritarian regime in 1936. In these ways, the population exchange indirectly facilitated changes in the political regimes of Greece and Turkey during the interwar period.[13]
Many immigrants died of epidemic illnesses during the voyage and brutal waiting for boats for transportation. The death rate during the immigration was four times higher than the birth rate. In the first years after arrival, the immigrants from Greece were inefficient in economic production, having only brought with them agricultural skills in tobacco production. This created considerable economic loss in Anatolia for the new Turkish republic. On the other hand, the Greek populations that left were skilled workers who engaged in transnational trade and business, as per previous capitulations policies of the Ottoman empire.[14]
Effect on other ethnic populations[edit]
While current scholarship defines the Greek-Turkish population exchange in terms of religious identity, the population exchange was much more complex than this narrow-view holds. Indeed, the population exchange, embodied in the Convention Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations at the Lausanne Conference of January 30, 1923, was based on ethnic identity. The population exchange made it legally possible for both Turkey and Greece to cleanse their ethnic minorities in the formation of the nation-state. Nonetheless, religion was utilized as a legitimizing factor or a "safe criterion" in marking ethnic groups as Turkish or as Greek in the population exchange. As a result, the Greek-Turkish population exchange did exchange the Greek-Orthodox population of Anatolia, Turkey and the Muslim population of Greece. However, due to the heterogeneous nature of these former Ottoman lands, many other ethnic groups posed social and legal challenges to the terms of the agreement for years after its singing. Among these were the Protestant and Catholic Greeks, the Arabs, Albanians, Russians, Serbians, Romania of the Greek Orthodox religion; the Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek Muslims of Greek Macedonia and Epirus, and the Turkish-speaking Greek Orthodox.[15]
The heterogeneous nature of the groups under the nation-state of Greece and Turkey is not reflected in the establishment of criteria formed in the Lausanne negotiations.[15] This is evident in the first article of the Convention which states: "As from 1st May, 1923, there shall take place a compulsory exchange of Turkish nationals of the Greek Orthodox Religion established in Turkish territory, and of Greek nationals of the Moslem religion established in Greek territory." The agreement defined the groups subject to exchange as Muslim and Greek Orthodox. This classification follows the lines drawn by the millet system of the Ottoman Empire. In the absence of rigid national definitions, there was no readily available criteria to yield to an official ordering of identities after centuries long coexistence in a non-national order.[15]
After the Ankara-based government of the Turkish National Movement rejected the Treaty of Sèvres that had been signed by the Istanbul-based Ottoman government, a new peace conference was organised at Lausanne, Switzerland, in order to draft a treaty to replace the Treaty of Sèvres. While the Lausanne Peace Conference was ongoing, but separate from it and its resulting Treaty of Lausanne, the "Convention Concerning the Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations" was signed at Lausanne on 30 January 1923 by the governments of Greece and Turkey at the insistence of Eleftherios Venizelos and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.[16][17][18] The convention had a retrospective effect for all the population moves which took place since the declaration of the First Balkan War, i.e. 18 October 1912 (article 3).[19]
By the time the Exchange was to take effect, 1 May 1923, most of the pre-war Orthodox Greek population of Aegean Turkey had already fled. The Exchange involved the remaining Greeks of central Anatolia (both Greek- and Turkish-speaking), Pontus and Kars, a total of roughly 189,916.[20] 354,647 Muslims were involved.[21]
The agreement therefore merely ratified what had already been perpetrated on the Turkish and Greek populations. Of the 1,300,000 Greeks involved in the exchange, only approximately 150,000 were resettled in an orderly fashion. The majority had already fled hastily with the retreating Greek Army following Greece's defeat in the Greco-Turkish War, whereas others fled from the shores of Smyrna.[22][23] The unilateral emigration of the Greek population, already at an advanced stage, was transformed into a population exchange backed by international legal guarantees.[24]
In Greece, it was considered part of the events called the Asia Minor Catastrophe (Greek: Μικρασιατική καταστροφή). Significant refugee displacement and population movements had already occurred following the Balkan Wars, World War I, and the Turkish War of Independence. These included exchanges and expulsion of about 500,000 Muslims (mostly Greek Muslims) from Greece and about 1,500,000 Greeks from Asia Minor, Turkish Eastern Thrace, Trabzon and the Pontic Alps in northeastern Anatolia, and the remaining Caucasus Greeks from the former Russian province of Kars Oblast in the south Caucasus who had not already left the region shortly after the First World War.
The convention affected the populations as follows: almost all Greek Orthodox Christians (Greek- or Turkish-speaking) of Asia Minor including the Greek Orthodox populations from middle Anatolia (Cappadocian Greeks), the Ionia region (e.g. Smyrna, Aivali), the Pontus region (e.g. Trapezunda, Sampsunta), the former Russian Caucasus province of Kars (Kars Oblast), Prusa (Bursa), the Bithynia region (e.g., Nicomedia (İzmit), Chalcedon (Kadıköy), East Thrace, and other regions were either expelled or formally denaturalized from Turkish territory. These numbered about half a million and were added to the Greeks already expelled before the treaty was signed. About 500,000 people were expelled from Greece, predominantly Greek Muslims, and others including Turks, Muslim Roma, Pomaks, Cham Albanians, Megleno-Romanians, and the Dönmeh.
The time the conference in Lausanne took place, the Greek population had already left Anatolia, with an exception of 200,000 Greeks, who stayed after the evacuation of the Greek army from the region.[25] On the other hand the Muslim population in Greece, not having been involved to the recent Greek-Turkish conflict in Anatolia, was almost intact.[26]
The Turks and other Muslims of Western Thrace were exempted from this transfer as well as the Greeks of Constantinople (Istanbul) and the Aegean Islands of Imbros (Gökçeada) and Tenedos (Bozcaada).
Due to punitive measures carried out by the Republic of Turkey, such as the 1932 parliamentary law which barred Greek citizens in Turkey from a series of 30 trades and professions from tailor and carpenter to medicine, law, and real estate,[27] the Greek population of Istanbul, as well as that of Imbros and Tenedos, began to decline, as evidenced by demographic statistics.
Most property abandoned by Greeks who were subject to the population exchange were confiscated by the Turkish government by declaring them "abandoned" and therefore state owned.[28] Properties were confiscated arbitrarily by labeling the former owners as "fugitives" under the court of law.[29][30][31] Additionally, real property of many Greeks was declared "unclaimed" and ownership was subsequently assumed by the state.[29] Consequently, the greater part of the Greeks' real property was sold at nominal value by the Turkish government.[29] Sub-committees that operated under the framework of the Committee for Abandoned properties had undertaken the verification of persons to be exchanged in order to continue the task of selling property abandoned.[29]
The Varlık Vergisi capital gains tax imposed in 1942 on wealthy non-Muslims in Turkey also served to reduce the economic potential of ethnic Greek business people in Turkey. Furthermore, violent incidents as the Istanbul Pogrom (1955) directed against the ethnic Greek community greatly accelerated emigration of Greeks, reducing the 200,000-strong Greek minority in 1924 to just over 2,500 in 2006.[32] The 1955 Istanbul Pogrom caused most of the Greek inhabitants remaining in Istanbul to flee and migrate from there. Historian, Alfred-Maurice de Zayas identifies Istanbul Pogroms as a very serious crime against humanity and he states that, small Greek causality and especially the flight and big migration of Greeks after the pogrom corresponds to the "intent to destroy in whole or in part" criteria of the Genocide Convention[33]
By contrast the Turkish community of Greece has increased in size to over 140,000.[34]
The population profile of Crete was significantly altered as well. Greek- and Turkish-speaking Muslim inhabitants of Crete (Cretan Turks) moved, principally to the Anatolian coast, but also to Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. Some of these people identify themselves as ethnically Greek to this day.[citation needed] Conversely, Greeks from Asia Minor, principally Smyrna, arrived in Crete bringing in their distinctive dialects, customs and cuisine.
According to Bruce Clark, leaders of both Greece and Turkey, as well as some circles in the international community, saw the resulting ethnic homogenization of their respective states as positive and stabilizing since it helped strengthen the nation-state natures of these two states.[35]
At the same time, forced deportation has obvious challenges: social, such as forcibly being removed from one's place of living, and more practical such as abandoning a well-developed family business. Countries also face other practical challenges: for example, even decades after, one could notice certain hastily developed parts of Athens, residential areas that had been quickly erected on a budget while receiving the fleeing Asia Minor population. To this day, both Greece and Turkey still have properties, and even entire villages such as Kayaköy that have been left abandoned since the exchange.

Dark Horse Extension Candidates: Aybar & Kendrick
Ah how I wonder where these two have been the past few years, surely the players we're seeing this season aren't the same players we've been watching their whole careers. There were some flashes of what could be with Aybar and Kendrick back in 2009. Before that season they proved to be good players with the potential to be stars, but after their rather pedestrian 2010 many of us jumped the gun and wondered how we could get replace these two with real performers. Well, those real performers have finally shown their true colors, but will their talent last? Is this just another flash of what could be just like 2009? Could an extension for either (or both) of these players be in order?
Surely an extension must be in order for this man! Such shenanigans cannot be so easily replaced.

Back to my Roots
Rachel Rubin Where I come from, the hot dog is Big. Bigger than the Italian beef sandwich and the deep-dish pizza combined. Made just right with mustard, onion and relish and just a dash of celery salt. No one would dare defy tradition by using ketchup. It wasn't until I was enjoying my bagel and lox one Sunday morning when I caught a PBS special on foods from different cultures. For the segment on Jewish people, they highlighted our greatest edible contribution to society: the hot dog. It could have been pride that had me all choked up, or maybe the cream cheese stuck to the back of my throat, but I am excited to say that I have more in common with the hot dog than the fact that we're both from Chicago -- we're both Jewish. It all began when Eastern European immigrants came to America. Austro-Hungarian immigrants Emil Reichel and Sam Ladany first displayed their creation at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. It was an affordable business to sell these beef sausages under little huts. Anyone with hot water and a bun could nail up a shack and sell a juicy wiener. This is how Vienna Beef began franchising to other poor immigrants who needed work. During the depression, hot dogs became the meal of choice, costing a mere five cents. By the 1950s, Vienna was being sold all over America. As the phenomenon spread, different means of preparation and decoration developed. We revolutionized America with bagels and matzoh ball soup, but Jews really out-did themselves with bringing in the hot dog. It's such a common food that can easily be taken for granted, but when I visit home I always make sure to take a bite back into my roots. Originally from the Chicago area, Rachel Rubin is a freshman at the University of Missouri-Columbia where she is majoring in journalism. Rachel also plays an active role on the Jewish Student Organization at her school. [Posted 3/6/08] |

I'm using the "Part Number" parameter inside a block of text in my drawing, but when I export it to AutoCAD DXF 2010 format, the text in the exported file shows up as "<PART NUMBER>", instead of displaying the actual part number.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I had the same issue a while back.
Mine was via Leader text, t was also related to "Replace model References", it would only hapen after using that tool.
The solution was to discconnect the leader and then re-connect the leader, before exporting the file. I never did find a solution to the problem, it just went away with version updates and patches.
The text was attached to a leader, and disconnecting / reconnecting the leader fixed the problem. Thanks.

by Richard Huffman / Editor Wildlife rehabilitation is a job best left to the experts. Every day the PAWS wildlife facilities in McCleary and Lynnwood care for dozens of different species of wildlife, each with their own unique, complicated needs. But PAWS has found that one particular critter, the squirrel, is well suited to foster care from volunteers. So with some rigorous training, PAWS teaches volunteers to become squirrel foster parents and help free up valuable facility space and staff time. "We see a few hundred squirrels every year at both facilities," says PAWS Olympic Wildlife Rescue Manager Jennifer Convy. "The foster care program gives us a little more time to make sure that they are given the care that they need. It's a staffing issue." In many cases PAWS Wildlife is able to prevent many squirrels from unnecessarily being brought to the two PAWS facilities. "Usually a person finds a single squirrel or a nest of squirrels," says Convy. "Oftentimes there was a storm and the nest was knocked out of a tree. If the parent squirrel is around, we instruct people to put the babies back into the nest or create a new nest. Parent squirrels will still take care of their young even if the young have been handled." But other times the parent squirrels are either nowhere to be found or turn up dead. This is when PAWS encourages the babies to be taken to one of the two PAWS wildlife facilities. PAWS doesn't just send squirrels to foster homes with a thank you and a shoebox. Every squirrel foster parent undergoes specialized training, and receives all the necessary food, caging, heating pads and cleaning supplies. "Basically, we teach people how to feed and clean them," explains Convy, "and to make sure that the squirrels are progressing at a healthy rate." All squirrels receive a formula-based diet, specially prepared for squirrels. Once they are old enough to be weaned off the formula, they are given a staple diet, supplemented with foods from their natural environment. Fortunately for squirrels, their natural instincts are very strong. "They learn to eat hard foods pretty quickly on their own," says Convy. "But we will often house them with other squirrels so they can learn to compete for food and learn other squirrel behavior." Besides teaching volunteers about squirrels' instinctive behavior, the PAWS training sessions also teach the volunteers about overcoming one instinctive human behavior; the desire to cuddle the adorable squirrels. "As with any animal, squirrels can become humanized easily," says Convy. "So we train our volunteers not to talk to the animals or cuddle them." Foster families need to provide a room for their squirrels separate from children, companion animals, and loud noises. The room has to have a constant temperature. The squirrels are fed up to four times daily and are usually in the care of the foster family for two to three weeks. "This is a very rewarding and quite unusual experience for a volunteer," says Convy.

Loaded: McCain campaign contacts for sale Video
Loaded: McCain campaign contacts for sale Video Transcript
>> Hey everyone, I'm Mark Licea. Unfortunately, Natali Del Conte, she's out with a cold, but I've got you covered. Yahoo rolls out a new version of Yahoo Mail. The McCain Campaign forgets to wipe their BlackBerrys, and a Facebook movie? Today's Tuesday, December 16th, and it's time to get Loaded. ^M00:00:15 [ Music ] ^M00:00:21 Yahoo rolled out a revamped version of Yahoo Mail. This version is based on Yahoo's open strategy initiative, in which they're trying to make your email a more social experience. A social network of its own, if you will, there will be new welcome page with a sort of friend activity feed. You can also friend other mail users and customize your inbox as you see fit. The mail program is also open to third-party programs, so you can add widgets and applications to your heart's content. Only a select few will have seen this change. Unfortunately, I'm just not one of them. [ Sound effect ] Twitter now works with Google Friend Connect. Google announced that the popular microblogging tool now integrates with its social networking platform. Websites that support Google Friend Connect will now have the ability to log in with a Twitter profile. When on a website that supports this, users can discover other Twitter friends that are members and share their favorite pages. Pretty cool. [ Sound effect ] Mac users, you should be on the lookout for a Leopard update. Apple released Mac 10.5.6 update on Monday, which is said to improve MobileMe synching and include security fixes. This is the sixth update to Leopard since it launched in October of 2007. [ Sound effect ] Sprint launched the first BlackBerry with push-to-talk this week. The Curve 8350i has all the bells and whistles of the normal curve, except it has the walkie-talkie function that so many business users have come to know and love. It also has Wi-Fi, GPS, international direct connect, a video recorder, and more. It's on sale now for as low as $149.00 with the normal rebates and a two-year plan. [ Sound effect ] Here's a lesson in tech etiquette. If you were one of McCain's donors during the presidential campaign, or a prominent politician, or a political lobbyist, chances are your contact info may have been sold for about 20 bucks. A journalist with the Fox News affiliate in D.C. bought two BlackBerrys loaded with over 300 contacts. The BlackBerrys belonged to an unnamed, high-level fundraiser for the McCain Campaign. Now, for the love of all things good, if you're going to sell a personal data device, like a smartphone or a hard drive, be sure to wipe your data. Otherwise, you might as well have your credit card information pasted on your forehead. [ Sound effect ] Apparently, the folks over in Hollywood think that Facebook is interesting enough to make a movie. Rumors about a Facebook movie surfaced a while back, and Aaron Sorkin plans to adapt the unfinished book for film. Ben Mezrich the best-selling author behind the blackjack movie, "21," has signed on to write the book. According to Gawker, the film will be a highly glamorized depiction of the actual facts behind Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, and his conception of Facebook while at Harvard. What a surprise. As if Facebook's story was really all that glamorous to begin with. Maybe throw in a knife fight, get Shia LaBeouf signed on. I think they've got themselves a blockbuster. [ Sound effect ] Those are all your headlines for today. Thanks for watching. Until next time, I'm Mark Licea, and you've just been Loaded. ^M00:03:01 [ Music ]

Rated 4 out of 5 by 6
Rated 3 out of 5 by BBBGGGLLL Good quality but Virtually Wrinks so much
This is my first brook brother non-iron shirt, it is fit well, thick white cotton, beautifully pressed seam even after wash, but it is definitely not wrinkle free, actually it wrinkles so easy and so much. It may be non-iron only if you remove the shirt immediately after drying, which seems not easily to be the case that you have to be alert with your dryer machine once it is done. Even though you are so nervously taking the shirt out of the machine right on time, all your hard work credit just is to be gone immediately once you put on your safe belt to drive or sit in the conference room for 5 minutes, the wrinkles all over in the back and lower front of the shirt are quite embarrassing!!! I hope those " always crisp and neat and super" reviews below were not from insider BB employees, and I don't recommend this shirt if you do need a sharp neat white shirt in front of other people at a big meeting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by busybusy Wardrobe Workhorse
Always crisp and neat, versatile enough to be casual or business like. This shirt allows you to look effortlessly put together without the effort. You know that look, as if you were born neatly pressed with an air of timeless style!
Well sewn and finished of lux cotton fabric.
More colors please!

This shirt is a great summer shirt that is tailored, excellent quality and easy to wear. The no-iron always looks good even on the hottest of days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by happymommy Love this shirt
I bought this shirt last summer in pink and this year in indigo. I love the tailored fit - very feminine. I wouldn't go up a size unless you don't like the tailored fit. Then again, if you don't like the tailored fit, why buy a tailored shirt?

Rated 5 out of 5 by DPhelps Best Shirt Purchased In a Long Time
The shirt is absolutely SUPER!! Comfortable. Easy to dress it up or dress it down with a jean skirt and absolutely wonderful for summer months in the office. Looking for additonal colors to purchase for the summer months in a working environment.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tenny Great Shirt, Poor Fit
I was very disappointed by the fit of this shirt. I ordered my regular size only to find that I couldn't raise my arms. I returned it and went up a size to have the same problem.

Oct 2, 2012Far away from the Quality of RE 0-4 & Code Veronica, this is the worst game in the RE series not worth your Hard earned Money.
Please Capcom Stop it, let RE dying with Honor. -
Oct 2, 2012
Oct 21, 2012Resident Evil 6 is a game that does not get to the bottom of shoes to the first deliveries. The history and control are disastrous in this release. And are missing of terror situations, a better atmosphere, puzzles and best designs in enemies.
Oct 2, 2012The game just fails to fulfill its promises in many levels. This game is no longer a survival games. Clearly the call of duty virus is spreading around. It is just copy past from many games
Oct 2, 2012This game was simply awful, /v/ was right. I shouldn't play video games anymore. All the ones who have good reviews are either shills or viral marketers.
Oct 2, 2012
Oct 2, 2012After this terrible experience i refuse to buy another resident evil game until it goes back to its origins. The Gameplay was awful the story was awful the controls was awful. Warning dont waste your money.
Oct 2, 2012By no means this is a 0 quality game. It really is an average action 3rd person game that will probably please some people. The reason It gets a 0 from me, is because it has the misleading title of a numbered RE sequel but the product i ended up playing was something like Gears of War meets CoD.
Oct 12, 2012And this is a Biohazard?. No way this game can be considered a biohazard. The bad reviews that this new delivery, are more than deserved. The title (Biohazard) it is too big. With next deliveries should return to the genre that made this saga so famous, otherwise you will totally lose respect for Capcom.
Oct 3, 2012
Oct 2, 2012This isn't survival horror, it wants to be gears of war and call of duty.
Fails on all accounts, major disappointment, horrible game, I want my money back :( -
Oct 2, 2012
Oct 2, 2012
Oct 2, 2012This has to be one of the biggest pieces of junk that i have EVER played. The story makes no sense and is just plain boring, the controls are worse than a game made in the 90's i refuse to ever buy a capcom game again. Even the dedicated should stay clear
Oct 2, 2012Just when i thought the series could not possibly get any worse, i would resell this game to get some of my money back but i refuse to let someone else waste their money on this garbage
Oct 2, 2012
Oct 2, 2012Resident Evil 6 is Terrible game in the world. Horrible game play and AI. unrealistic physics engine, cheap sound effect. dont buy this. waste of money and time.
by the way dokdo is korean territory -
Oct 2, 2012Why Capcom? Just, why? RE was one of my favorite series of all time and now you decided to make it into something without any sense of personality! Copying any other TPS in existance isn't always a good idea. For all of those who haven't played it yet, if your favorite game of all time is MW3 then you'll dig it for sure, this isn't RE anymore.
Oct 16, 2012
Oct 3, 2012This is Resident Evil game that nobody wanted. Every aspect of this game stinks of Capcom rushing an unfinished game onto shelves as quickly as possible. A poor attempt at turning Resident Evil into Uncharted with awful action scenes and a billion quick-time events.
Oct 2, 2012After 2 Hours of playing i can finally say i am finished with resident evil and from now on im going to boycott capcoms games. Just the thought of another capcom game makes me utterly sick.
Oct 2, 2012Welcome win! Ansha Abdul!
Добро победит! Анша Абдуль! -
Oct 4, 2012
Oct 3, 2012I'm a RE-fan and don't mind the action packed RE5, I really like it. But this **** is horrible!! And I even played has Leon. The graphics where bad, I couldn't see anything, bad texture.
Oct 2, 2012Absolutely **** game developed by untalanted company. This is like MW with 3rd person. Very bad graphics, no physics, the plot is simple like a children coloring book. Ansha Abdul.
Oct 11, 2012This is delivering more bad Resident Evil to date. It's a game without spirit itself, chooses to be so much that it ends up being nothing. But most are still on time to NOT BUY YOU THIS NEW RELEASE, DO NOT BUY SUCH AN INSULT TO THE SERIES. Perhaps so, if we avoid that Capcom has good sales, then maybe someday decide to get a real Resident Evil.
Oct 13, 2012

Oct 2, 2012
Nov 16, 2012Capcom continues to thumb its nose at long time series fans. Not only have they abandoned any pretense of tension and fear, they've dredged up tired old storylines and shifted the game solidly into Gears of War territory. Let the series die!
Nov 4, 2012It's expanded beyond any plausible scientific explanation, with what is left being a cumbersome, grotesque mish-mash of disparate elements, barely strung together and about as subtle as a hammer to the thumb.
Oct 30, 2012Resident Evil takes another step towards the action genre, and by doing so loses even more of the atmosphere from the beginning of the series. It's an ok action game, but the lack of focus is the real problem. Probably not for fans of the first games.

MFK Dinamo survived an attempted comeback from Iberia Star Tbilisi to beat the hosts to Sunday's UEFA Futsal Cup final against Kairat Almaty.
Quickfire goals from Pula and Dieguinho put the 2007 winners in control in the first half as they bid to reach a second straight final – and a joint-record fifth overall. Pula added another early in the second half but Augusto brought a 7,200 semi-final crowd, including Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, to their feet with 12 minutes left, though Dinamo clinched it through Dieguinho and Aleksandr Fukin.
Although the home support backing the first Georgian side ever to host a UEFA final tournament were loud from well before kick-off, Dinamo began strongly and Romulo and Pula both threatened. Kumano, one of several new signings fielded by Iberia Star along with Marko Perić, Marcel Ribeiro and Kumano, forced an early save from Aleksei Popov, keeping goal for Dinamo with Gustavo suspended.
Popov was again the hero when he blocked a Ribeiro effort from close range in the 12th minute, which was to prove vital. Seconds later Dinamo won a corner, and Romulo's kick was laid back by Dieguinho for Pula to smash in.
Only 20 seconds later, with Iberia Star still regrouping, Dieguinho turned scorer, pouncing on a misplaced pass to double the Russian team's advantage. Alert goalkeeping from Celio prevented Nando from making it three and ensured the Iberia Star fans were not silent for long.
However, just two minutes into the second half it was 3-0. Popov found Fukin on the left and he played it across for Pula to produce another thumping finish. Iberia Star were struggling, yet then Augusto gave them hope as he broke, played a one-two with Fabinho, and beat Popov.
With all-time competition top scorer Lúcio as flying goalkeeper, Iberia Star suddenly had a chance. Rafa sent an enticing ball across the face of the Dinamo net and Nando, to be named Western Union man of the match, had to make an goal-saving interception. The Iberia Star goal was unguarded, and Dieguinho shot unerringly into the empty net from the Dinamo box.
It was soon all over as Tatù laid off and Fukin rounded Celio to make it 5-1. The home crowd maintained the noise until the end and had a Fabinho consolation to cheer in the last minute but Iberia Star will play only for third place against FC Barcelona on Sunday.

Radio Times
I've fallen behind posting material that contributors have sent me. Many thanks to Matthew Davis who sent these scans of Searle's early career work for Radio Times magazine. He collated them from various retrospectives of Radio Times art published over the years.
Apparently this one set in the cemetery was specifically assigned to Searle because of his "Paris Sketchbook".
Apparently this one set in the cemetery was specifically assigned to Searle because of his "Paris Sketchbook".
". . . During the Second World War, Searle was captured by Japanese forces in Singapore and from 1942 was kept as a prisoner at Changi, where he was forced to work on the Burma railway by day but by night secretly continued his cartoons.
He created St Trinian's while a prisoner and though he had been drawing professionally since he left school, it was after the war that his career brought him fame - and then in 1947 the accolade of drawing the Christmas cover for Radio Times.
His work for Radio Times included many sketches accompanying dramas such as the first play by John Galsworthy, best known now for The Forsyte Saga, in 1948 and productions of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men in 1949. But he also illustrated documentaries and talks, of which the most striking was 1947's The Enigma of the Japanese (left): Searle drew the Radio Times billing and appeared in the programme itself to discuss his wartime captivity.
Searle's drawings were collected in The Art of Radio Times, published in 1981, and many of his wartime pieces are held at the Imperial War Museum in London."

DMin Leadership in Community Spiritual Formation (DMS)
The Challenge: How to Form a Community Spiritually
People must find several things for spiritual formation to happen, including:
Finding a Community
Though spiritual formation involves individual experiences, it is typically a community activity. Environments of grace where people feel safe are essential for them to be open and transparent so they can receive support for growth. The many "one another" passages require mutual support.Without community help, no one has support for their weaknesses.
Finding a Place
Children in different grades need different instruction. Similarly, Christians in different stages in their spiritual journey, and with different struggles, require different support. A one-size-fits-all program will not work. What's needed is a journey model that has entry points all along the way.
Finding Role Models
Pastors and parachurch leaders must be examples. They are not able to give individual direction to everyone, and so must live as examples of spiritual formation so others can see what it looks like.They must display grace if they are to make developing a community of grace top priority. Finally, they must serve if their followers are to grow spiritually for the sake of others rather than for themselves.
Finding a Purpose
Spiritual formation is "a process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others" (Robert Mulholland, Jr). The goal of spiritual formation is to serve. Therefore, spiritual disciplines must be learned with a goal of serving. Growing in Christ is what enables us to serve. People need to ask, "How will this spiritual discipline help me serve using the gifts God has given me?"
Finding the Way
Spiritual traveling, like physical traveling, requires that you:
- Know where you are
- Know where you're going
- Know how to get there.
Know where you are is critical. It requires that you make an accurate assessment of yourself—neither less than you are nor more than you are. "Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment" (Romans 12:3 NIV). We are warned by Jesus' words: "You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked" (Rev. 3:17). Only a proper diagnosis will lead to correct treatment.
Know where you're going means to understand that developing a relationship with God is for the purpose of being used by God to serve Him and others where He leads. Jesus said, "I am among you as one who serves" (Luke 22:27).We are called to be like him in order to serve like Him. Spiritual formation prepares us to serve.
Know how to get there makes the connection between spiritual formation and service. Just as different sports require different training for the unique demands of each sport, so everyone needs a regimen of spiritual disciplines that fit who God has made them to be. That means "how to get there" is different for each person.
Finding a Focus
There are two foci: leadership and community spiritual formation. People need both leaders and community to be spiritually formed. Because the whole church or parachurch organization needs to be spiritually formed, leaders need to lead the way. The community must be developed in such a way that everyone can receive the support they need. Because leadership in community spiritual formation is different from guiding individual spiritual formation, people need leaders who are effective in both.
Finding Help
For leaders to understand the help their people need, they too must experience transformational help. In our program, students have mentoring relationships in which to practice what they learn. The practice is guided by eight seminars on leadership and on community spiritual formation. The seminars are molded by a biblical leadership paradigm. The goal is to develop leaders whose experience prepares them to understand and develop the resources to help their entire community find what they need to be spiritually formed.

CareZone announces freebie for epilepsy care cases
CareZone, a startup for organizing and sharing personal information, announced a promotion that grants free access to those with a family member with epilepsy.
Chief Executive Jonathan Schwartz, who previously led Sun Microsystems, said a partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation will match what CareZone has done with groups dealing with autism and Parkinson's disease.
(For a look at the executive and his views on Oracle, Apple, Amazon, and Intel, check CNET's accompanying Q&A with Schwartz.)
Schwartz hopes CareZone will catch on as a way to let people privately share information such as instructions for babysitters, emergency … Read more
