FORMER CYMS all-rounder Kira Churchland is discovering just how tough cricket can be.
After winning the 2012-13 Sydney grade cricket player of the year Churchland took up the opportunity to play in the women's National Cricket League for the ACT Meteors.
Then, injury struck.
Churchland twinged her shoulder during pre-season, before tearing her AC joint in the Meteors' first trial game.
She has since also picked up a side strain.
The 23-year-old is looking at the positives though.
"I've missed about a third of the season so far," she explained.
"It's unfortunate but luckily the shoulder didn't need surgery, and I'm back playing now."
Churchland made her debut for the Meteors against Western Fury in October, and has since played 11 more games in what she called an interesting season thus far.
The medium-pacer has played a minor role for the Meteors so far in 2013-14, scoring 44 runs batting low, and so far going wicketless.
Churchland said the statistics don't matter, this season is about development.
"The jump from Sydney grade cricket to the NCL is just massive," she said.
"We're playing against former and current Australian players, and to be honest, they just outclass you if you're not up to it.
"At the moment I'm pretty much just doing what I'm told on the field. The girls have all been really good, and I'm slowly getting introduced into the Meteors system more and more.
"Eventually higher honours would be incredible, but right now I just want to concentrate on trying to put together some consistent performances."
Churchland is still playing with Sydney Cricket Club in the SGC competition, and has scored 105 runs at 29, and taken four wickets at 25.5.

Constitutional Law
4th Circuit Nixes Damages Suit by 'Enemy Combatant' Jose Padilla Over Alleged US Torture
Posted Jan 23, 2012 6:41 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
In a move decried by the American Civil Liberties Union as a sad day for the rule of law, a federal appeals court today upheld a lower court's ruling that an American citizen who claimed he was illegally detained and tortured at a U.S. military jail in South Carolina cannot turn to the legal system for redress.
Because he was designated an "enemy combatant" by the military, Jose Padilla's treatment falls outside the scope of government conduct that tort litigation is intended to address, held the Richmond, Va.-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals as it affirmed a trial court's dismissal of the case. Congress, not the judicial branch, is in charge of the military, the court explained, and it has not provided for a civil damages remedy, the Associated Press reports.
"By dismissing this lawsuit, the appeals court handed the government a blank check to commit any abuse in the name of national security, even the brutal torture of a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil. This impunity is not only anathema to a democracy governed by laws, but contrary to history's lesson that in times of fear our values are a strength, not a hindrance," said ACLU attorney Ben Wizner in a written statement.
It appears that the 4th Circuit ruling isn't yet posted on the ACLU's legal documents page for the case.
A Reuters article provides additional details.

FairTax Act restores economic prosperity while ending income tax
To the Editor:
Poverty should never be the goal of a government tax structure yet our income tax is designed to keep working people poor. Hidden corporate taxes raise the wholesale cost of goods and services while the 7.65 percent payroll tax ensures less take-home pay for buying goods and services. The FairTax HR25 restores economic prosperity while ending the income tax.
Although the wealthiest avoid paying federal income taxes thanks to deductions, their investment capital needed for job creation is forced overseas to avoid capital gains taxes. Not only do we forfeit investment dollars, our industries can't compete globally. Capital gains taxes are 11.5 percent higher than the average tax rate for the 34 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). And with our corporate tax being the highest in the world, there is little incentive for foreign investment to come to the US.
A consumption tax, The FairTax Act of 2013, filed in the House January 3 with a record number (53) of first day co-sponsors, ends personal income taxes, business income taxes, payroll taxes, capital gains taxes, estate and gift taxes and alternative minimum tax. It generates equal tax revenues while creating jobs. Learn more at www.fairtax.org.

A MOTHER and her five children have been left homeless after a fire broke out in their Flora Hill house on Tuesday.
Kristy Picken was looking for emergency accommodation on Tuesday afternoon after returning to the home.
"At this stage we've got nowhere to stay," she said.
"We won't be able to stay there because it's pretty smoked out.
"I'll have to ask a friend.
"Hopefully the real estate agency is trying to find a place."
The fire started in the front of the home, which is on the corner of Raymond Avenue and Somerville Street about 2.40pm.
"We've only been in the home for about three weeks," she said.
"I'm a bit shocked more than anything.
"An older power point could have started the fire."
Furniture built by Ms Picken's father was destroyed along with couches, a television, and other items in the lounge room.
The front of the rental home was extensively damaged by fire, but the family's pets escaped.
"Most of the stuff was second hand from Vinnies," Ms Picken said.
Police comforted Ms Picken, who was distressed when she arrived at the property.
Family members had been home earlier in the day but the property was vacant at the time of the fire.
Firefighters attended the address as smoke billowed from the roof and windows.
Jacob Godfrey said he had been driving past and noticed the smoke before calling triple-0.
"I pulled up out the front," he said.
"Firefighters arrived and smashed in the doors and started unloading the hoses as smoke came out of the roof.
"At first no-one knew what was going on, if anyone was at home at the time.
"But once the fire crews got here it was alright."
Mr Godfrey said it had taken the CFA about 30 seconds to arrive after he called triple-0.
He captured footage of the incident on his iPhone.
Judy Jefferis said she saw smoke coming from property and had also called emergency services.
Firefighters removed roof tiles and spent about 10 minutes bringing the blaze under control and fire investigators were called to the scene.
Most of the damage was confined to the front of the house, but there was also extensive smoke damage.
Police believe a bin was placed over an extension lead which started the fire.
There were no suspicious circumstances.
The property was rented by Elders Real Estate and it is not known if the owners had insurance.
The incident follows a recent house fire at Ascot and a blaze at Flora Hill.
The Bendigo community has rallied around both families, but Ms Picken said she did not need any replacement items.

Colonial Place/Riverview Civic League
             Happy New Year
DEADLINE for the February issue is Tuesday, January 29, 2002.
THIS MONTH'S MEETING AGENDA:   Monthly police and code enforcement reports - Major topic to be announced - Time to renew memberships!
The dogpark is a HUGE success! We are hearing from people all over town about how much they are enjoying it.
In the next few newsletters, I will be bringing everyone up to date on the rules and regulations for the dogpark. I will start with the Virginia State codes, then the City codes and ordinances, and then general guidelines with doggie do's-and-don't's.
State code 15.2-1809 - Liability of localities in the operation of parks, recreational facilities, and playgrounds: No city or town which operates any park, recreational facility, or playground shall be liable in any civil action or proceeding for damages resulting from any injury to the person or from the loss of or damage to the property of any person by an act of omission constituting ordinary negligence on the part of any officer or agent of such city or town in the maintenance or operation of any such park, recreational facility, or playground. Every such city or town shall, however, be liable in damages for the gross negligence of any of its officers or agents in the maintenance or operation of any such park, recreational facility, or playground.
In other words, it is up to each dog owner to be responsible for his or her animal. Please keep an eye on your dogs while you are in the park. If a fight should break out, pull the dogs apart from the back to avoid being bitten. If your dog should be injured, either in a fight or by just general rough play, the city is not liable. Get the name of the owner of the other dog to verify that the dog has been immunized against rabies. If your dog should need veterinary care, the two of you will have to work out payment for this care. If your dog is deemed too vicious to play with other dogs, you will be asked to refrain from bringing your dog into the park. If we all work to be good park users and watch our dogs while in the park, we should, hopefully, be able to avoid such problems.
I met with Norfolk City Maintenance recently, and they informed me that the City will put in a water faucet for the dogs and lights around the dogpark. This will be funded by the $2300 we have already raised. They have already roped off the area in the park for the water, and should begin construction soon. We owe gratitude to Barclay Winn and the City Council. They told me that the City is more than happy to help neighborhood projects as long as the citizens show an effort to help themselves. This has been the case with the Colonial Place and Riverview residents. We are proud to see such tremendous support from our neighbors and dog companions.
And The Winners Are!....

Another three periods, plus OT and even a shootout without anyone dropping their gloves (though I'm sure some people would be interested in going at a certain former Pen for single-handedly ending our streak). That kind of kills my cred for this thing starting out, but with a Flyers game coming up next week (at Philadelphia, no less), I'm sure that will change. So what can we look at in the meantime?
FrankD posted a bench clearing brawl in Russia, and - along with the Pens getting Recch'd on Saturday, it made me think about quite possibly one of my favorite fight scenes ever. This happened back in March of 2004 in the course of less than a minute - game time, that is. When it was all done, 419 penalty minutes had been handed out. Here's part one of three. I'll throw part two up the next time the Penguins don't fight. That's your punishment.

Technote (FAQ)
How do you change the queue size for the Network IPS in firmware 4.x?
There may be certain circumstances where the default queue size is not large enough. For example, if the SiteProtector server will be down for an extended period of time for maintenance, you may need to increase the rsPostSensorEventQueue so that the uncommitted events are not lost once the event queue becomes full. When SiteProtector is back up, it can then commit the events to SiteProtector.
For this scenario, you can get an idea of how big the rsPostSensorEventQueue should be by determining the following factors:
(length of an anticipated outage in minutes) * (average events per minute for the device) * (1536 bytes per event) = queue size needed in bytes
Note: 1536 bytes is a rough estimate for the event size. This is not accurate for all events and should only be used to get an estimate of the total size needed. The default queue size of 15MB should hold about 10,000 events.
The Network IPS devices at firmware 4.x use the rsPostSensorEventQueue for events that will be sent to SiteProtector. This queue can be found in /cache/spool/crm/ and has a default value of 15MB (15000000 bytes).
To change the size of this queue, go through the instructions below:
Note: There is not a maximum file size for the rsPostSensorEventQueue file. However, we recommend keeping the queue size close to the default of 15MB and we do not recommend increasing it above 100MB (100000000 bytes). As you increase the size of this queue, the size is automatically increased at the time of the change (not on an as-needed basis like a text log file might). This file is also kept open as it is constantly being accessed by the driver and the iss-spa process. So, increasing the size of that file increases the baseline file I/O overhead for the device and can significantly impact performance on a heavily subscribed device. Please keep this in mind before changing the rsPostSensorEventQueue size.
- Login to the appliance using the root account.
- Stop the issDaemon service with the following command: service issDaemon stop
Note: This will cause a brief disruption in the traffic going through the device. Please be sure to schedule this accordingly.
- Modify the /etc/crm/rsPostLocalProperties.xml file by changing the value field in the line referenced below to the desired size in bytes. This line can be found under the 'event_services' section.
<param name='eventQueueSize' value='15000000' xmlns='http://www.iss.net/cml/Core/PolicyCommon' ordinal='7' />
- Save the changes to the file and start the issDaemon service with the following command: service issDaemon start
- Verify that the size of the rsPostSensorEventQueue.ADF file located in /cache/spool/crm/ has increased to the desired value.
Note: In pre-4.x firmware releases, there is a second queue called SensorEventQueue. This queue is used to store events that are displayed within the Proventia Manager web interface (LMI). Please see Technote #1435849 for more information on this. This particular queue is no longer used with 4.x. This information is now stored in a SQLite database called ipsAttacks.db and can be found in /var/iss-db/. Expanding the size of this database file is currently unsupported. However, there can be seven total .db files used; each holding approximately 400,000 events. If all seven of these files are full, it will hold approximately 2.8 million events.
If the above information does not resolve your issue, contact IBM Security Systems Technical Support.

Thank you for all your comments. I made all renderings in "Paint", which very limited. Anyway it just should give an impression on how alternative models could look like. @trapezius - I agree on what you say, I even think Maserati deserves both: a 2-door coupe similair as Audi A5, E-Class coupe, BMW4-series and also a smaller version of the GrandTourismo against SLK, Z4 and Cayman. Since Mazda and Alfa work together on a small rear-wheel drive roadster, who knows what alternative can be made on this platform.0 0
April 29, 2013 3:54 pm
that wagon looks sweet. not too fond of the coupe, as it looks obvious from the design that it is not a native coupe design, rather a sedan chopped to make a coupe. not saying i could do a better job, but i am sure someone can, by doing more than just chopping off 2 doors. the whole roof line and silhouette needs a redesign for it to become a coupe. i.e., it should become more like a baby GranTurismo.1 2
April 29, 2013 8:14 am

Maruti Ritz Automatic test drive review

Peak hour traffic jams – this is something most of us face during our daily commutes. And then there are the other traffic snarls : during metro constructions, around big markets and during the festive season. This is when most of us have at some point of time wished for an automatic transmission. Driving in stop-go traffic can be a pain in the, err, left foot along with the mental agony that comes attached with such driving scenarios. Hence with slowing average speeds and increase in demand for pocket friendly small automatics, manufacturers are now eyeing this segment. The Honda Brio automatic was the latest entrant and now Maruti has also joined the bandwagon with the automatic option on the new face-lifted Ritz.
The new Ritz in itself is more than just a face-lift. It looks slightly better in terms of looks with a restyled front end including headlamps, grille and bumper while the interiors have also seen a fair amount of tweak, the biggest one being the two-tone theme for the mid-level and top end versions. This along with improved rear seating makes the cabin a much better place. The high seating position has always aided visibility and is a boon for the fair sex and the elderly while getting in and out of the car. We have often praised the Ritz for the high quality and practical interiors with the only let down being the slightly cramped rear seat, especially with tall passengers up front. We love the neat touches though – like the smart storage box under the co-driver's seat as well as the small storage space above the fascia. The pop-out tachometer simply adds to the sporty touch!
As expected, Maruti continues on with the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre multi-jet diesel engines though both the units have seen a few changes. While the petrol motor now gets the VTT technology and feels a touch more smoother, the diesel one has become more efficient, upping the ARAI rated economy to 23.2kmpl – brilliant for a tall hatchback. While we do love the diesel engine for its performance, the KB12 petrol unit did delight us with its super low NVH levels. The biggest change, or inclusion, in the new Ritz is the optional 4-speed automatic available in mid-level trim with the petrol engine.
Now while this transmission has one gear less as compared to the Honda Brio Automatic, its mated to the engine in a good way with the right ratios. Not only does the peppy and responsive motor help, the transmission is super slick and goes about doing its duty in a very able manner. Gear changes are hardly felt and the gears drop instantly when you go down on the accelerator pedal. Even pedal to metal, the Ritz Automatic is not a lazy car and gathers speeds quickly. Its only when you reach triple digits speeds do you miss the 5th gear with the engine spinning at the wrong side of 2500rpm. A typical user of this segment though won't have a reason to complain and the newly integrated fuel economy indicator will actually help drivers to squeeze out max from the engine. We averaged around 8.5 to 9L / 100km in Delhi's traffic which translates into almost 12kmpl : now this included stopping, parking, reversing etc for our photography shots and video. Infact, as per ARAI, the Ritz Automatic is only 7 % less efficient as compared to the manual sibling.
The new gear level does look nice and has the usual modes like
P: Parking
N: Neutral
3D: Drive mode : the one that will used mostly, with the transmission upshifting on its own
2: The transmission remains in the 2nd gear and is useful for steep inclines etc
1: The transmission remains in the 1st gear only and is useful for tough driving conditions including slush et al
The transmission also has a shift lock wherein the transmission sticks the same gear without any upshifts. I commute 70km daily and for a change, yesterday turned out to be an easy affair. The light steering only aids in city traffic and an automatic can make your life so much easier. The drawback ofcourse is the high sticker price with the VXI A/T costing Rs 1.28 lac more than the manual VXI ABS version. That is a lot of money but does offer you one of the most fuss-free and easy to drive automatic hatchbacks in India. As for running cost, the difference amounts of half a rupee per km as compared to its manual sibling. So if your monthly driving is 1200km, you would end up paying only about Rs 600 extra on petrol – not bad, eh?

The a/t vxi is a good choice with airbags and abs. Prefer red or white.

By Mike LaBella
---- — HAVERHILL — Investigators refuse to identify the 2-year-old girl who died unexpectedly Sunday, but said there will be an autopsy to determine the cause of her death.
Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokeswoman for the Essex District Attorney's office, would not say why her office refuses to identify the girl or her family. Police typically release the identities of people who die, whether they lost their lives in an accident or some other way.
Haverhill police refused to identify and girl or discuss the case, saying all information must come from the district attorney's office.
Kimball-Monahan issued a press release yesterday giving basic information about the case.
"The goal of the investigation is to determine the facts and circumstances of the fatality and ultimately decide whether criminal charges are warranted," the release read, in part.
Kimball-Monahan said that on Sunday afternoon, shortly after putting the girl down for a nap, her father found her unresponsive in her bed. EMTs responded to a 911 call and took the girl to Merrimack Valley Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 2:30 p.m.
Neighbors said the girl was visiting her father at his 8 Dexter St. home, a three-story building where other families also live. One neighbor said she saw EMTs rushing out of the home carrying the girl.
According to a Haverhill Police report, at 2:02 p.m. on Sunday, emergency medical personnel responded to 8 Dexter St. on a report of a medical situation.
Yesterday, a neighbor said the girl's father owns the building at 8 Dexter St. and lives on the second floor. The neighbor said he heard the father had taken the girl to a local farm earlier on Sunday.
City assessor records list the owner of the building at 8 Dexter St. as Ramsey Santana.
Yesterday, an Eagle-Tribune reporter spoke to several residents of the building who said Santana was not there and unavailable to speak. They said they would not answer any questions about Sunday's incident and asked the reporter to leave the property.
When asked to confirm if 8 Dexter St. was the address emergency personnel went to on Sunday, Kimball-Monahan said she had no comment and that no other information would be released until the autopsy report is complete.
Kimball-Monahan said an autopsy can take months to complete. Toxicology reports that determine whether there was something unusual in the victim's blood usually take weeks to complete.
Theresa Brown, who lives next door to 8 Dexter St., said she was inside her home on Sunday afternoon when she heard a siren, looked out her window and saw two EMTs rushing from the 8 Dexter St. home and toward a waiting ambulance.
"One of them had a child in his arms and she appeared to be limp," Brown said. "The EMTs were running towards the ambulance with the girl."
Brown said she did not know the girl or her father.
Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Essex District Attorney's Office and Haverhill Police are investigating.

SPOKANE, Wash - If you happened to come across Spokane's newest social club's monthly meeting at Northern Lights Brewery, you likely could figure out pretty quickly what they all have in common.
"The bearded lifestyle is the most epic lifestyle," said Eric Bandholz, Spokane Beard and Mustache Club Co-founder. Eric Bandholz co-founded the Spokane Beard and Mustache Club back in the spring. So far, they've had four monthly meetings, and meet at a new bar each month. Bandholz created the group to meet people just like him by hanging out, drinking beer, and talking facial hair.
"Bearded people are probably the coolest people on the face of the planet," said Bandholz The group is also raising money for charity. This year they are holding fundraisers to earn money for the Vet's Garage. But for the most part, they just want to have a good time hanging out with their fellow beardsmen.

The European Space Agency has agreed to move forward with Russian partners on the ExoMars missions in which Roscosmos would get the Martian missions in 2016 and 2018 off the ground with its Proton rockets, sending first a satellite to look for methane and other trace gases in the atmosphere, and then Europe's own Mars surface rover.
|Russian Proton rocket
ESA turned to Russia after NASA retreated from a partnership at the beginning of 2012, citing budget concerns. NASA spent the year evaluating its options for future Mars exploration, pursuing less expensive objectives and closer synergies between robotic and future human missions to the red planet, noted on-line publication SpaceflightNow.
"It's a pity that we've lost the partnership with NASA but it's good that we've now got the Russians coming in instead, so we're optimistic that this is now on track," British Science Minister David Willetts said, according to AFP.
Besides the Proton launchers, Russia has agreed to build a descent stage for the European rover and provide scientific instruments to the lander and orbiter components of ExoMars.
The BBC points that the European-Russian ExoMars partnership may lead to future interplanetary cooperation to explore Jupiter, its moon Ganymede and lunar robotics. Frederic Nordlund, the head of international relations at ESA noted, "Russia already has its Luna-Glob and Luna-Resurs missions, which are already being implemented, but we're considering other opportunities for this in other areas."
The ExoMars Drill is devised to acquire soil samples down to a maximum depth of 2 metres, in a variety of soil types. This video shows footage from tests of a prototype drill.

Draft is almost here. Let's get on record, for fun, to see who "had it right". Name five players that you are certain will be above average NBA players 5 years from now taken in the 2012 draft. Name only five, and make them the five you feel will be performing the highest in 2017.
Here are mine, in order of production:
- Davis
- T-Rob
- Lillard
- T. Jones
I believe the first three will have made at least one all-star team by then. And I have Royce White as #6, in case anyone was wondering.
Consider it written in stone.

I tried to list some possibilites and questions which weren't talked much until this point. The series dynamics changes after each game when both teams are this good and new "what if" questions emerge. Please add yours and we'll see if any one of us will catch something which is not mentioned in the media much.
- Kobe being tired at the end of game: Was that specific to this game or will we see it more at the upcoming games? If the latter, it will be a great development for Magic as the series progress, improving their chances significantly. Can we say that Magic finally figured how to stop/limit him thanks to mixing it up with Lee and Pietrus?
- Gasol having more touches: We can expect Lakers to try this since it was evident to everyone that he was killing the Magic in the paint. Now, if this is a chess match SVG should anticipate this and adjust the defense. Remember how Howard was confused at games 1 and 2, how they forced him to all those turnovers. I had a feeling that Gasol is suspectible to have a similar off game if the Magic defense makes this a priority. A couple of plays early in the game, like a Howard block or stripping the ball from him can cause this. Played games so far suggests that if Pau has an off game it will become much easier for Magic to get a win.
- Foul problem for Dwight : So far so good but I am crossing my fingers not to go through this at one of the coming games. If he sits some extended minutes, Lakers are capable of exploiting this for winning a close game or building a large lead. If he doesn't go into foul trouble in these series at all, it is one more evidence of how much he matured during these playoffs regardless the result of the Finals. When (not if) he becomes a Hall of Famer we can all tell our kids we witnessed his coming of age, how he fixed his FTs, how he learnt to avoid silly fouls, how he learnt to dominate or being just efficient during the 2009 Playoffs.
- Number of 3pt attempts: Since they have to worry our inside the arc shooting much more after game 3, is it too much to hope for a more regular Orlando game where we are taking a lot of open 3s and hitting them at our normal clip?
Game 4 outcome: Not yet but if Magic wins Game 4, I believe we will have ourselves a real series. Orlando will become more confident and all kinds of doubts will emerge at the Lakers side. Despite what they say it is natural for Magic players feeling just to be happy being at the Finals. Nobody will blame them if they lose and they already accomplished much. But if they manage to even the series coming from 2 games down, they may start to really believe they can win it all and play their A+ game every minute, every game. At least, I hope that's what will happen.

© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. --- Police officials say they're still looking for an individual involved in what they say was a car theft that inadvertantly led to a house fire Sunday morning.
Monday, the Herald incorrectly reported on its website that Gails Lingerie at 930 West Broad Avenue had been damaged by fire after a car, which was believed to be stolen, crashed early Sunday morning based on a police report.
The report lists 930 West Broad Avenue as the incident location for the theft of the vehicle that was involved the crash. Gail's owner, Gail Tymes, told the Herald Tuesday that her building was not involved in the crash.
The report states that officers responded to the fire at 503 N. Cleveland Avenue. The officer further reports that it appears that the car left the roadway and crashed into a carport, damaging a parked car and sparking a fire that damaged the home.
While the driver of the vehicle fled before police arrived, police did make contact with the vehicle's owner who reportedly told police that it had been stolen from 930 West Broad Avenue earlier that night.
APD Spokesperson Phyllis Banks said Tuesday that police officials now believe the car may have been stolen from a building next door to the business. Tymes said she wasn't aware of any of her customers having a car stolen from near her business.

Object relations theory is centered on our relationships with others. According to this theory, our lifelong relationship skills are strongly rooted in our early attachments with our parents, especially our mothers. Objects refer to people, parts of people, or physical items that symbolically represent either a person or part of a person. Object relations, then, are our relationships to those people or items.
An offshoot of Freudian psychoanalytic theory, object relations theory developed during the late 1920s and 1930s, and became extremely popular during the 1970s. Karl Abraham, Margaret Mahler and Melanie Klein are among those credited with its origination and refinement. Object relations theory is sometimes used in the treatment of phobias, particularly those that focus on people, or our relationships with them.
External and Internal Objects
An external object is an actual person or thing that someone invests with emotional energy. A whole object is a person as she actually exists, with all of the positive and negative traits that she embodies. If we successfully move through the stages of development, we are able to relate to others more as a whole and as they truly are.
An internal object is our psychological and emotional impression of a person. It is the representation that we hold onto when the person is not physically there, and it influences how we view the person in real life. Consequently, the internal object greatly impacts our relationship with the person that it represents.
Object Constancy
Object constancy is the ability to recognize that objects do not change simply because we do not see them. Infants begin to learn object constancy when their parents leave for a short time and then return. As children mature, they begin to spend longer periods of time away from their parents. Separation anxiety and fear of abandonment are common in people who have not successfully developed a sense of object constancy.

US Mint limits its silver coin sales
A precious metals sell-off has lowered prices and lifted demand beyond production capabilities, which means new investors will have a tough time finding 'America the Beautiful.'
As investors start to realize hoarding precious metals isn't such a great play anymore and consumers start flocking to whatever shiny cast-offs they can find, the U.S. Mint is putting the plug in its piggy bank.
After running out of 0.1-ounce gold bullion coins last month, the Mint is now limiting dealers' purchases of its 5-ounce "America the Beautiful" silver bullion coins when they go on sale next week. It just tightens the squeeze the Mint put on coin sales after gold plunged to a two-year low and investors sold off their silver holdings last month.
When the coin becomes available for sale on May 13, the Mint will distribute half of its inventory equally among its authorized dealers, and the other half based on each dealer's volume of "America the Beautiful" coin sales in the past two years, it said on Wednesday.
The Mint's move has little to do with the recent economic instability in Cyprus that boosted Bitcoin value or even the sluggishly improving U.S. economy. The Mint says it simply doesn't have enough blanks to meet demand.
That's not going to sit well with skeptics, but even seasoned investors are finding that doom just isn't as sound an investment as it used to be. Mining companies including Barrick Gold (ABX) have scaled back operations. Exchange-traded funds that track the metals -- like SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), down about 13% on the year, and iShares Silver Trust (SLV), down 22% -- are being liquidated as retail investors buy up more bullion and saturate the market, while institutional investors back out of precious metals entirely.
The U.S. Mint is keeping its own stingy allocation process in place until it can boost delivery and meet demand. The Mint had actually been doling out more silver coins in recent months after suspending sales late last year. But with prices still unstable and the consumer market gobbling up all the gold and silver it can find, the Mint seems bent on preventing heightened interest from becoming a full-on run on its supplies.

What is the best fix for this blog module error
28 April 2010 at 10:30pm
I've just set up a site on a shared Web Drive server and the site is working perfectly.
I've installed the blog module and I get the following error.
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'HTML/BBCodeParser/Filter.php' (include_path='./:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/local/apache/phpinc/:/home/w3/') in /home/w3/........../sapphire/parsers/HTML/BBCodeParser/Filter/Basic.php on line 31
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've had a look at the other post about this error but don't understand much of it.
I've tried as described in the above post changing include_path but without success, it would be awesome if one of you SilverStripe gurus could help me for a few minutes so I can get this module working.

I think I found the issue, I've installed SilverStripe again but this time at the root level of the website and the blog module works perfectly so that seems to have fixed my include path issues.

Good Afternoon TODVille.
JER, a good one.
I can offer these additional scenarios:
1) Jehovah's Witnesses will not pay for any blood transfusion their insured employees may need because it is against their beliefs.
2) Seventh Day Adventists will remove a portion of their employees' salaries – that portion that would have purchased pork and other items that are against 7th Day Adventists' religion.
What about transplant? CPR? Vaccine?
Any employer can forbid their employees to access certain medical practices under the disguise that they violate the employers' religious beliefs with total disregard for the employees' own beliefs and medical needs.
July 1, 2014 at 1:46 pm
And the employer would deny treatment or medication related to HIV/AIDS. Because the gays…
July 1, 2014 at 1:58 pm
JER, there will be no denial of HIV/AIDS treatment because the moment the employer realizes that the employee was gay, the employer would fire the employee! ;)

Don't you love it Nena – Major Garrett asking his snarky question was essentially saying President Obama's statement yesterday on immigration reform was purely political. The timing was suspicious. He should have never believed Boehner anyway. Unbelievable. Josh really schooled him. I am noticing today that the jackals are having difficulty asking any intelligent questions about Boehner killing immigration reform. The problem is that GOP obstructionists just look bad. President Obama is governing and they are not.

Del. Joe Morrissey (D), 55, was indicted Monday by a special grand jury on four felony charges stemming from a nearly year-long investigation into the relationship between Morrissey and a 17-year-old receptionist at his law office, according to Richmond TV station WWBT.
Now that is Not welcomed nor needed right now in VA to distract the obstructionism by the GOP of denying 400K plus medical coverage. When Dems get into sexual escapades, the media and the GOP come alive. Under age accusations taint all. Dems get rid of this 55 yrs old, Now!

Hey Guys,
I am not going to be able to use my tickets for the Tuesday night game against Iowa next week. Two tickets in row 23, Section 118. Great view, as is any seat in Mackey. I will let the pair go for $60, which is less than face value after all the ridiculous fees one has to pay when buying them from PU. Reply back to the post with any interest. I live just north of Indy and can meet someone in Lafayette tonight after the Wisconsin game, or will be willing to drive as far north as Lebanon on any other night. Give me a shout. Boiler up!

We run the rule over United stars' prospects of playing at the World Cup finals next year...
Situation at United? Although his first season by undermined by injury, Shinji impressed whenever called upon and finished the campaign with six goals from 26 matches. Ever the perfectionist, he expects better of himself this term and hopes to impress under new manager David Moyes, who is yet to field the Japanese midfielder.
Likelihood of boarding the plane? Shinji might as well book his ticket now because, realistically, the only thing that could prevent him from flying is injury.

Hackers staged a surprise attack on the online role-playing game World of Warcraft and "killed" some virtual characters, the company operating the game said Monday.
"Earlier today, certain realms were affected by an in-game exploit, resulting in the deaths of player characters and non-player characters in some of the major cities," said a blog post by site manager "Nethaera" on Warcraft, which is owned by Blizzard Entertainment.
"This exploit has already been hotfixed, so it should not be repeatable. It's safe to continue playing and adventuring in major cities and elsewhere in Azeroth."
The posting said that "we are taking this disruptive action very seriously and conducting a thorough investigation."
The company apologized to users and asked anyone with information to contact the firm.
The attack apparently began Sunday, according to members of the online forum WoW Insider.
"Something very strange happened on various realms," Olivia Grace wrote on the forum, adding that "everyone in Stormwind and Orgrimmar was killed… It's also been happening on Tarren Mill, Ragnaros, Draenor, Twisting Nether, and no doubt other servers."
Around 10 million people worldwide pay subscription fees for the game including several million who have joined the most recent campaign, "the fight for Pandaria."
Players represented by animated characters such as dwarfs, trolls, or humans explore, battle, and take on quests in the game made by Blizzard, a division of Activision.

Kyle Moore accepts a $150,000 Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps scholarship presented by U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Michael Gangemella, the executive officer of Recruiting Station Detroit, in front of an auditorium of students, family members and teachers at Lakeland High School. Moore plans to attend Norwich University in Vermont. Upon completion of his four-year degree in mechanical engineering, Moore will receive his commissioning as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marines to pursue career opportunities that include pilots, ground combat officers, or a variety of support jobs. / Dennis Moore
Scholarship winner
Kyle Moore, a Lakeland High School graduate, accepted the scholarship presented by Staff Sgt. Derek Hilbert, a Marine Corps recruiter out of Recruiting Sub-Station Howell, and Capt. Michael Gangemella, the executive officer of RS Detroit, in front of an auditorium of students, family members and teachers.
I was with my family on vacation over Christmas break when I received the telephone call telling me that I had been chosen for this scholarship, stated Moore. I was absolutely speechless at first and then I could not stop smiling and thinking about the fact that I had really won. It was a dream come true for me and by far my favorite Christmas present.
Moore was selected by Gen. James F. Amos, Commandant of the Marine Corps, based on academic excellence, physical fitness and moral character.
Kyle is a very determined young man, said Hilbert. His professionalism, maturity, and natural leadership fit the qualities we look for in Marine Corps officers.
Hilbert recruited Moore.
We are really happy for Kyle and very proud of his work ethic and the determination that it took to go through this entire process said Dennis Moore. This is something Kyle has had a passion for from a young age and his involvement in activities beyond the classroom, such as the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps-Great Lakes Division, have demonstrated his commitment and desire to serve.
Moore will attend Norwich University and participate in the universitys NROTC program in Northfield, Vt. During the summer of his junior year, he will attend Officer Candidates School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va.
I look forward to his commissioning ceremony, said Hilbert. Although it comes after hes completed school, it will mark the beginning of his Marine Corps career as a commissioned officer. I am interested in seeing what type of leader of Marines he becomes.
Upon completion of his four-year degree in mechanical engineering, Moore will receive his commissioning as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marines to pursue career opportunities that include pilots, ground combat officers or a variety of support jobs

Chidi, do you think Freeman's attitude contributed to the collapse? It seemed like all he did was cry and whine at teammates and blame others while putting up horrible numbers. And some of the quotes from when Josh Johnson started (I don't agree with them) just seemed to hint at the team quitting on Josh and getting tired of his act.I think Freeman and other of "Rah's boys" lead this team into the ground. Thoughts?
I think Freeman knew he was completely safe and insulated while Morris was the HC. I think in a sense, he was too comfortable. I think having a new HC in place that didn't hand pick him will snap Freeman back into reality to a degree and add some pressure and focus to his preparation which I think will be a good thing

Raheem should not get all the blame
Quote from: GrimmReaper on January 05, 2012, 08:49:03 PMRaheem should not get all the blameHe should get most of it. This team is in turmoil and it's due to lack of discipline. Raheem's main job was to instill discipline and motivation his players. He had 3 years and he failed so miserably that this team isn't even competitive anymore. In my opinion, this article makes no sense. First it's said that the coaches in the early to mid 90's were not football intelligent (lead by former superbowl head coach Sam Wyche who was known as an offensive genius and innovator, and defensive coordinator Floyd Peters who had been a pro bowl defensive lineman who had played in the NFL over 10 years and had coached for many years, including many years as defensive coordinator for the Vikings where 2 of those years they were the top rated defense in the entire NFL.) Sure, in Chidi's first season on the Bucs, the defensive line coaches back then didn't appear to be that great and the defensive players pretty much sucked at that time other than Hardy and the guys in the secondary like Ricky Reynolds. But the coaches at the top were very experienced. For sure though, the addition of Rod Marinelli as defensive line coach in 96 rather than Ken Clarke in 95 was a fantastic upgrade. Dungy's assistants on defense were top notch (on offense, they were a downgrade).I thought the main problem with those teams in the early to mid 90's was that Ray Perkins had gutted the team. The players on that roster had little talent due to years of incompetent player personnel decisions during the Perkins years. It took Wyche a few years to get some players in there. By 1995, the team was getting some talent in the house. By that time however, the players had lost faith in the system due to too much failure and Wyche and staff needed to be replaced. (Same as Morris needed to be replaced this year). Although I think Wyche was a far superior coach compared to Raheem...To start that article saying the coaches sucked in the 90's and the players sucked as well, so replacing them all was necessary and that needs to happen again is not accurate. As I mentioned, when Wyche came to the Bucs, they had very little talent, so he did start replacing the players. By 1995, there was some serious upcoming talent on that team (which resulted in some wins starting in the late 90's under Dungy, but the key players were acquired during the Wyche years). They did replace the coaching staff in 96 and I do think that the defensive coaching staff of Dungy with Kiffin and his assistants was an upgrade over Peters and his assistants, but they did not get rid of their young players. What I get from this article is that Chidi is pissed off that Raheem got fired, so he wants everyone else fired as well. This 2011 team is closer to the 95 season ending team than it is to the 92 season ending team. I'm not sure what the love affair was with Raheem, but he's gone now so we might as well look at how to fix this problem without worrying if he was done wrong or not. I do agree, that there are many players on this team that need to go, but to say blow everything up and fire everyone since they fired Raheem is ridiculous.
Readers are asking why I did not list Raheem as a suspect. Simply because Raheem is already fired. But for all those making excuses for the suspects I listed as a reason to retain them., the same excuses should apply to Raheem and give reason for retaining him. Saying that Josh Freeman IF he had faster receivers, faster RBs, better OC, and better HC, then the same can be said about Raheem and his coaching staff. To say that Mark Dominik, IF he had owners in the Glazers that would spend more money to acquire talent, then the same can be said about Raheem and his coaching staff. We all know Raheem and his coaches are to blame partly for the bad results this season. If you fire Raheem and his coaches for the terrible season then you should fire all those responsible.
C'mon Grim Reaper, I expected more from you. Yes I did say stay the course with Raheem in previous articles. But in this article my point is that since Raheem was fired and blamed for the losing then ALL those who are responsible should now go too. Making Raheem and his coaching staff take all the blame simply is not truthful. As for Biggs3535 question about Jerry Gray as a head coach I can say this: Jerry Gray was not only my coach (defensive coordinator) at Buffalo, we also played together on the Buccaneers. Jerry was one guy who was a true leader and true warrior on the field. He was also a helluva a leader as defensive coordinator. Our defensive players he had to work with were not the greatest so we did not see great results. To consider Jerry Gray as a head coach I would think he would show the same great leadership skills that he did as a player and a defensive coordinator....where is Jerry anyway???

wow. not only was it in the lede but it's in the freakin title.
actually, I don't even think it's caution, I think it's an awareness of the importance of appearances. if he's speaking straight to the camera or doing the thing where he looks left and right as he speaks, it comes off as more confident. Looking down at notes on a podium comes off as decidedly less so and tonight of all nights, projecting confidence and offering reassurance was their MO. And on that score, the president knocked it out of the park.
Certainly glad the GOP can count on Fournier to transcribe their talking points. Hell, maybe he's the guy behind Obama's teleprompter's blog.

Try writing an actual diary in praise of someone. Say DWS. Try that for a change without excreting bitterness. If you don't intend to be productive and instead to just relitigate 2008, I really don't know why you're even here.
And by the way, yes DWS has been a good surrogate but to claim with a straight face that she is a "good Democrat" is pretty ridiculous. She was the co-chair of the DCCC red to blue program yet she would do nothing to actively defeat 3 truly horrible South Florida Republicans.

An Unlikely Education
June 15, 2011 § 6 Comments
There are times it feels as if I know nothing. Or, if not nothing, than not enough. This happens most often in times of crisis or near-crisis: A sick animal, the tractor broken, some dysfunctional component in our solar electric system. I am not by nature overly resourceful or clever with my hands, and I often struggle to find the patience necessary to overcome these deficits.
And yet, I know I learn best when left to my own devices. I never finished high school, and although I completed my GED and a couple of half-hearted semesters of college-level learning, my formal education ended in my early teens, which is about the time I decided I'd rather hang out in the parking lot listening to Rush and Metallica, than sit in a classroom muddling my way through algebra and chemistry. I limped through until I turned 16 and could legally dropout, at which point I hauled ass out of the high school parking lot as fast as my $200 VW Rabbit could take me.
That I ended up writing for a living had little to do with what I was taught; indeed, I still struggle with basic things like, comma, placement, and whether I should be saying "he and I" or "he and me" or "me n' her." Fortunately, I have editors who are for the most part tolerant of my fumbling.
I am struck by this irony: I have been able to pursue writing as a career in large part because I dropped out of the formal education system, not in spite of it. If I'd finished high school, and followed the assumed path to college, I would likely have ended up with a burden of debt that would have precluded writing and farming as viable livelihoods. Which is not to say I would have wound up in a bad place; only that it would have likely been much different from so many of the factors that currently define my life.
It will probably not surprise you to hear that our boys learn outside the boundaries of the public education system. They learn primarily by doing, and by talking. Often, we read for literally hours each day, although at this time of year the primary focus is immersion in farm and nature. I believe strongly, perhaps obsessively, in reading; when I was in elementary school, I remember setting my alarm for pre-dawn, so I might have time to read in bed for a couple of hours before school. My parents knew, and encouraged it. They were wiser than I gave them credit for at the time.
Most of the time, I feel as if I know what I need to know. I have figured out how to make a living, meager at times, but almost always satisfying beyond the hard measure of dollars and cents. Crucially, it's a living that allows me to pursue what I euphemistically term my "farming habit," but which has clearly evolved into something far deeper than simple habit. For all of this, I am profoundly grateful. Things might have turned out much differently.
But of course my ignorance is still a bloated thing, and I often find myself admiring people who have a greater capacity to learn on the fly. Sometimes, I feel stuck in the strange niches of my expertise, unable to bend my mind around a new way of doing things, or a new skill altogether. I think about this a lot in relation to our boys, trying to figure out how I can teach them to be both independent in their thinking and learning, while remaining nimble and dogged.
They are so willing and able to learn. I just hope I'm able to teach them.
§ 6 Responses to An Unlikely Education
It's scary to share that information. I have what I can list on job applications as "some college" but I dropped out, too. I did theater. I delivered singing telegrams. I wrote for this or that local rag. I beat-mixed in night clubs through the 80's and then did radio for 20 years-music, sports, news, production, v/o, even admin. And I did it all without a degree in performing arts or literature or business. Now I'm a micro-homesteader with plans to work a a 911 dispatcher, but I also write, podcast and vidcast. Choosing to work rather than get a degree was a great decision for me, and it never held me back from things I wanted to do. Luckily, I never had the urge to cure cancer.
Higher Education is considered by many as a rite of passage, yet life lessons are discounted. I know 3 blithering idiots who have master's degrees. The idea of Education is worshiped, but the true result of an education if often a kind of pronounced stupidity, and that stupidity is culture-wide. It's been mass produced through education. Harsh? Sure. But your punctuation, Ben, is equal or better than that of the average college graduate. The demise of our language is writ on billboards, movie posters, and in articles published by "educated" people.
