Mistrust of motives hampers health IT
The key to protecting privacy is to eliminate the motive for violating it.
Covering all areas of medical technology, and the public policies under which they're paid for. From networked systems and electronic medical records to gadgets, breakthroughs, and research.
The key to protecting privacy is to eliminate the motive for violating it.
Until we settle on a unique identifier for all personal databases privacy is unachievable.
We know what works. The only question is what will make it happen, the private sector or the political system.
AllScripts did not introduce open source to health IT. It opened an app store.
Collecting EMR data on your patients by hand, and turning a hard drive into your file room, is not the future.
It's sort of an Amway model, only more systematized. The question is whether paranoia over privacy and the qualifications of the outreach staff would ever allow this to go forward in America.
MedTera uses a sponsorship business model with publishing metrics to increase patient compliance with medical directives.
Berwick signed a short-leash computing contract and appointed a respected reformer to head his innovation unit just before testifying to Congress for the first time since his recess appointment.
Autonomy can leverage your EMR system with decision support or deliver intelligent rules based on its own databases.
SureScripts will soon deliver Continuity of Care Records (CCRs) on its network and enable secure e-mailing between doctors.

And it was worth the wait. The clever boy's combination of gazumpingly confusing prints (plus a digi print backdrop that the models walked out from) reminded us of a magic eye painting, which instantly snared the audiences' gaze before we even noticed their move away from the past season's voluminous puffy shapes into skinny suits, simple shift dresses, obi wrapped jumpsuits and kimono tops all constructed with subtle origami folds here and there. And when we finally managed to draw our eyes away from the magic eye prints, we were equally transfixed by the crazy platform shoes with carved heels by Raouda Assaf! Yum!

Post subject: switch between desktop environments
Hello all.....I cannot seem to switch between desktop environments....I like ICEWM if i want to do something quick and fast, but the sessions icon doesnt do anything. Is it possible to start another desktop env. from console???? I tried right clicking on desktop hoping the menu choice would come up for all the other desktop environments but it doesnt! Any suggestions? ? ? ? ? ? :D

When you log in (assuming graphical login), you can choose "Session" at the bottom and then pick icewm or whatever else.

Post subject: forgotten user password
I beleive that the problem is I cannot use those graphical login screens where you have to login as a USER. I set it up when i installed BLAG to automatically log me on as USER and I FORGOT the damn PASSWORD! I remember my root password but I cant use those other logon screens that give you a choice at bottom.....is there any way I can recover my lost user password? ? ? ? ? ? ? I have tried everything and I just cant get the right one! Usually I use my 2 initials in my name [rr] . I dont understand the GDM setup. On the first tab it says "General" and under "Greeter" it is set for both graphical greeter for local and remote. Automatic logon as user is checked. The next tab, under standard greeter i have a photo but where is it supposed to be shown at logon? Graphical greeter, the next tab is set for bluecurve, but when you use auto logon, it bypasses these 3 choices [bluecurve, circles and happy gnome]. So ifyou could help me with recovering my lost user password and setting up GDM the way i want it, it would be great!!!!! Thanks...bob :cry:

Lost password:
1) log in as root, or `su` to it:
su -
2) Change the password for user "rr" (that's your username, ya?)
passwd rr
That will change rr's password, so you can do the regular login screens and pick a desktop. You'll have to uncheck "automatic login" or whatever.

No my username is "bob" and I had thought i selected for a user password my initials "rr" but that is not right. I dont know what my user [bob] password is. :oops:

Arlington, Texas — When a team does what the Wolverines have done, blowing out two opponents and miraculously escaping another, the temptation is to call on karma, to dial up destiny, to say there's no stopping them now.
It's never that easy. But at least Michigan knows it can't possibly be as hard as wiping out a 14-point deficit in the final six minutes against Kansas. The Wolverines are on a roll, just like everybody else in the Elite Eight, just like Florida, the final obstacle to the Final Four.
It won't be easy Sunday at Cowboys Stadium -- tip-off is at 2:20 p.m. -- but Michigan is way past the point of improbable. When freshman Mitch McGary averages 19 points and 12 rebounds in three NCAA Tournament starts, something is percolating. The fourth-seeded Wolverines have a unique element in college basketball, a potent offense led by the best guard in the country. The third-seeded Gators have an extremely sound element, a defense as tough as any.
Defense often wins these matchups, which is why Florida is a three-point favorite. But Kansas' defense smothered Michigan for a while, until Trey Burke and his wingmates took flight. Florida feels good about itself after dispatching Florida Gulf Coast, 62-50. Michigan feels great about itself after the 87-85 overtime shocker against Kansas.
In fact, Burke's toughest task Saturday was dutifully scanning the 200 messages on his phone, while temporarily deleting his memory. The Shot — a 30-foot 3-pointer with four seconds left that sent the game to overtime Friday night — has been elevated to tournament lore.
"It's hard not to think about it," Burke said. "It's definitely a picture that can be framed and put in houses. But we can't look back. We have to move forward."
The Wolverines lost a couple games precisely like that, last-second crushers to Wisconsin and Indiana. And the NCAA Tournament might be the only sporting event in which karma is considered a real asset. I'm surprised they don't list it on the score sheet.
Top offense vs. great defense
The thing is, karma doesn't play defense or rebound. The Wolverines are improving on defense, but they know where they excel, and it's in direct contrast to the Gators.
Florida coach Billy Donovan called Michigan "maybe the best offensive team in the country." John Beilein said Donovan had "probably the best defensive people he's ever had." That's the same Donovan who led the Gators to back-to-back national championships in 2006-07, and to back-to-back Elite Eight appearances the past two seasons.
The Gators are loaded with experience, starting three seniors and two juniors. They can be menacing, with all 29 victories this season by double digits, which is astonishing. Granted, they play in the SEC, a football hotbed that has become a basketball soft bed.
Florida holds opponents to 36 percent shooting (29.9 on 3-pointers). So, what's the strategy to stop Michigan's offense?
"The strategy is, take care of Trey Burke," center Patric Young said. "Take care of him and it takes care of everything else. I consider myself one of the top pick-and-roll defenders in the country. We'll have to be even better because Trey Burke is extraordinary."
The Wolverines aren't just on a roll — they're on a pick-and-roll roll. Young sounded far more concerned about Burke than McGary, even though the 6-foot-10 freshman dominated with 25 points and 14 rebounds against the Jayhawks.
Before Burke scored 23 in the second half and overtime, he was driving and distributing, playing expertly off Michigan's array of screens. McGary has been the biggest beneficiary, and he attracts quite the crowd these days, on and off the floor. He answered several questions about recruiting — Florida was his second choice behind Michigan — and about the groin shot he took from Kansas' Elijah Johnson.
He's enjoying it all (except the groin shot).
"I'm just trying to stay in the moment and stay humble," McGary said. "I know it can all go away in a flash, in a snap of the fingers."
Wolverines offense jelling
In another snap, Michigan could make its first Final Four since 1993, the second season of the Fab Five. Burke returned for his sophomore season for this very chance, and is doing what the best guards do — get others involved.
All five Michigan starters scored in double figures against Kansas, and Glenn Robinson III continued to bust out with aggressive play. If Florida stifles Burke, Michigan is feeling better and better about its options.
"It's not as simple as stopping Trey," Robinson III said. "I just feel we're playing some of the best basketball since early in the season. We're rolling on a lot of confidence and spirit now."
Like many teams, it grew out of adversity, such as the 6-6 finish to the Big Ten season, or the first half against Kansas, when Burke was scoreless and hope was fading.
Now, he has a phone full of messages, including some condolences — obviously sent before the game was over. He also has a skilled, energized big man and shooters all around. There's absolutely no secret what Florida's renowned defense will try to do.
"I'd like to say I like our chances," Florida guard Scottie Wilbekin said. "But we have great respect for Burke. The worse thing we can do is let him get into the lane, or take those pull-back 3s. But the guy had a hand in his face (on the tying shot against Kansas) and still hit it. If he wants to take shots like that, we'll live with it."
The Wolverines hope they don't need another shot like that to live on. But they'll take it, because if confidence and karma are real, they believe he'll make it.

It's certainly puzzling, if not downright peculiar. That's the feeling one gets after studying the notice of inquiry (NOI) that FERC launched late last year, after nearly 10 years of dragging its...
Smackdown! Round Three - The Bankruptcy Court vs. FERC
The jurisdictional battle over authorizing rejection of wholesale power contracts continues.
Potomac Electric Power Co. (PEPCO) in relation to several so-called back-to-back power-supply contracts Mirant asserted were out of the money. Seeking to avoid the prospect of a parallel FERC proceeding and potentially conflicting FERC order as had occurred in NRG, Mirant obtained from the Texas bankruptcy court an injunctive order prohibiting any such parallel proceeding. Mirant then sought contract rejection in the bankruptcy court. PEPCO and FERC immediately responded by seeking and obtaining a withdrawal of reference of the contract rejection case from the bankruptcy court to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which ruled that FERC had exclusive jurisdiction over the matter. That decision was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which issued a decision later in 2004 reversing the District Court, in part, and remanding the case for further proceedings. 3
In reversing the District Court, the 5th Circuit held that the bankruptcy court, rather than FERC, has jurisdiction to determine whether a debtor party to a power contract should be permitted to reject that contract. However, the 5th Circuit also held that a stricter standard than the business judgment standard should govern such a rejection by the bankruptcy court:
Clearly the business judgment standard normally applicable to rejection motions is more deferential than the public interest standard applicable in FERC proceedings to alter the terms of a contract within its jurisdiction. Use of the business judgment standard would be inappropriate in this case because it would not account for the public interest inherent in the transmission and sale of electricity.
Therefore, upon remand, the District Court should consider applying a more rigorous standard to the rejection of the back-to-back agreement. If the district court decides that a more rigorous standard is required, then it might adopt a standard by which it would authorize rejection of an executory power contract only if the debtor can show that it "burdens the estate, that, after careful scrutiny, the equities balance in favor of rejecting" that power contract, and that rejection of the contract would further the Chapter 11 goal of permitting the successful rehabilitation of debtors.
Following remand, the District Court refused to authorize rejection of the back-to-back power contracts. However, that decision was based primarily on certain factors unique to the Mirant-PEPCO case that limit its precedential value in other power- contract rejection matters. 4
Calpine Case
Having observed the formidable battles in rounds one and two, the Calpine combatants exchanged a dizzying flurry of blows to start round three. As was the case with NRG and Mirant before it, Calpine was party to a number of substantial wholesale power contracts with load-serving entity (LSE) counterparties. Sensing that Calpine's bankruptcy was imminent, the California Electricity Oversight Board, the California attorney general, and the California Department of Water Resources (the California parties) filed an emergency petition with FERC on Dec. 19, 2005, seeking a pre-emptive order prohibiting Calpine from rejecting various power contracts. Two days later, and before FERC had acted on the emergency petition, Calpine commenced Chapter 11 proceedings in

Tuesday was my birthday and I discovered that elderliness is creeping up on me way too quickly. I long ago predicted that my teeth would fall out before my hair turned gray, and would you believe that I woke up with sore teeth and gums?! Luckily I took the day off from work so that Tim and I could enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures (it almost reached 60 degrees-in February!!!). Nice indeed.
We started the day by taking a long bike ride up to Flavour Spot, a waffle sandwich cart in Portland with several vegan options. We each opted for a crispy waffle wrapped around two veggie sausages and drizzled with a maple/margarine spread. Delicious! We had also packed along a big thermos of tea to enjoy with breakfast. After we finished the first round of waffle sammies, I decided it would be smart to try the Nut Fluffer too. A Nut Fluffer is a waffle wrapped around peanut butter and Ricemellow. Who are we to resist? Tim and I shared the Nut Fluffer.
Here are some photos:
Afterwards we sat in a nearby park and warmed in the sun while digesting breakfast. I also thought fondly of my co-workers seated in front of their computers… Heh, heh, heh…
The rest of the afternoon included a bike ride to a huge art store we had never visited (future W.I.P. Wednesday post perhaps?!!), Tim making me cupcakes (twice), and an awesome dinner. The story behind the cupcakes is quite humorous and sad at the same time. I had chosen Chai Latte cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World as my birthday treat. Tim eagerly mixed the batter and then asked me to fill the muffin pans. I had filled two muffin cavities when Tim realized he had forgotten to add the oil. The batter went back into the bowl and the oil was stirred in. The batter went into the muffin tins, baked, smelled amazing, and came out of the oven as golden cupcakes. And then… They sank into dense, heavy, rubbery pucks (we decided that adding the oil too late and mixing the batter too much as a result caused our disaster). Tim insisted I choose another recipe since the first batch wasn't too tasty. I decided on chocolate cupcakes. He let me frost them:
These super chocolatey cupcakes made my day!
For dinner we made Jessy's Tempeh Meatlessballs with Green Rice. If you haven't tried this recipe yet, you really ought too (I have posted about it before, here)! It has become one of my top ten all time favorites!!! It is incredibly tasty. We topped ours with a tahini sauce.
The evening ended with a movie and an extra cupcake (or was it two?).
And just because I love food in bowls, here is a photo of the dinner Tim and I made this evening:
This was a compilation of veggie odds and ends: carrots, broccoli, shiitakes, peas, red bell peppers, kale, and tofu. Tim made an awesome stir-fry sauce and we served the result over chow mein noodles (the non-crunchy ones) and sprinkled black sesame seeds on top.
That's it. I'm off to have a cupcake. If Tim isn't looking, I'll take his too.

Hmm, I had never checked the replacement's cost, 10k is absurd.
This week:
0:34 - Should new 5-mans added after 5.2 drop the same ilevel gear as the current ones?
5:45 - How should gating work for Throne of Thunder?
9:18 - Do class buffs/nerfs make Challenge Mode leaderboards invalid?
13:51 - Will it be easier to gear for later raids through PvP?
17:49 - How important is RNG in class design?
22:36 - Are monks getting too many changes too quickly?
28:46 - Is the new raid coming too soon?
33:53 - Do replacement legendary gems cost too much?
Hmm, I had never checked the replacement's cost, 10k is absurd.
I would be all for scaling/ modding old content to allow for 5 man raids or even high level 1-2 man raids. Longime solo players could take toons into the content after thery have talen the game time to level....... (Some would drool at the Trannymog possibilities......)
The PVP vs PVE gear could be solved by simply having the SAME item level, but the stats on the gear would be 10/15/25% specialized for the activity it is earned for/from? Maybe have a couple of pices that do overlap, but make them fairly "Shortlived" in the belt/bracers/gloves category.
Yeah, there does seem to be a learning curve each new class has for the developers for gaining a sense of balance. Seems like a fairly normal learning factor with uses of a new tool sort of thing to me.
Gems for a gold sink seems to be legit to me. There has to be a reason for people to do something besides raid. "Grinding Gold" a bit to gem equipment doesn't seem to be a big deal. It is also a means of getting people out of the cities.......

0:34/13:51: As I have said before, the TBC progression system via RF will not work due to the problems of smaller pools of queuing players leading to extended queue times. Further crippled by the daily quest/rep system having killed off so many alts.
We don't need to force people to laboriously gear alts by raiding each previous tier for months at a time. It isn't like Wrath where gems such as Ulduar were only experienced by a teeny minority and "went to waste" once the TOC/ICC 5 mans were released. In MOP every man and his dog are already bored sick of T14 RF, you think they will stomach three to four months of it on each alt too?! Blizz have extracted the full value out of T14's development costs unlike Ulduar (and T11) which by their own admission was a commercial failure.
I am 100% comfortable with skipping it on alts. Worth pointing out that in TBC most players didn't even run alts (many were not level capped on mains and barely anyone saw all the raid tiers) and the hardcore raiders that were fully gearing up alts generally tended to do so rapidly via boost runs as opposed to slowly grinding through each tier. Folks forget that.... Remember Sunwell? How long did it take you guys to gear those Shaman alts? Months of grinding or fast-track guild boost runs?
The issue with PVP v PVE gear is for me a problem that I lay firmly at the door of PVE gear. PVP gear has always been preferable due to the lack of RNG and of course for the past few years there have been a glut of crafting recipes that make entire sets of ridiculously low priced items. We got some weapon recipes from Molton Front but generally speaking crafted PVE gear in later tiers has always required ultra expensive mats that drop in raids. There were no budget items to rival the low cost PVP crafts.
The JP system (currently an irrelevance) needs to be addressed so that it allows players to predictably gear alts with "catch up gear" at an acceptable speed and free from all the nonsense with RNG and the main/off spec arguments in DF. Additional crafting recipes for PVE gear to rival the PVP patterns would also be nice along with a new tier of 5 man dungeons. Players hate RNG. They would rather grind gold or JP/HP.
Fix PVE catch up gear and abandon that TBC/RF nonsense is my solution. Don't nerf PVP gear.
33:53: I think we need more gold sinks. Anything that takes money out of the economy is a great idea - apart from this one. It kind of discourages players, especially those at the Normal/RF level, from using them. We have caps on VP to encourage players to use them as opposed to hoarding and yet this price tag encourages hoarding. I could come up with a million and one superior alternatives for sucking gold out of the economy. I do find it amusing though; my gem has been gathering dust in my bag for ages due to not having a weapon where as this guy has two!
Perhaps instead of gold for purchasing new gems have it so that you turn in five of each of the tokens that drop from bosses...or even ten like in the original quest.
Toypop...you are bang on about the PvE gear, Blizzard really needs to address what you've mentioned.
Put another way: right now if you have 190 total tanks and dps in the queue, you need 60 total healers to get everyone in. If you shrink that population by 50% then sure, you'll only have 30 healers to fill groups out, but you also only have 95 tanks and healers waiting for them.
It's certainly something to keep an eye on but I think there's a very fair chance that it won't be an issue.
I also think that as time goes on people will realize that they don't really have to be focusing so hard on maximizing everything on their alts in order to still enjoy playing them.

I'm not sure that assessment of the population of LFR is really accurate. Definitely the systemic lack of healers is the predominant factor but I don't think its the only significant factor. I think already that the additional variance in the accumulation of critical mass for a LFR group imposed by effectively dividing the LFR mass into 5 groups (one for each extant LFR) IS a significant impediment to the creation of an LFR group already. This may not be as true for the Tue-Thurs core raiding days for those who can somehow raid during work days but even for the non-primetime days it is already a factor. Dividing people up even further (say 8 total LFRs in tier15) is only going to exacerbate the problem. Combine this with what it is going to do to the already problematic issue of guild formation (i.e. how do we combine those who are done with e.g. Mogushan with those just recently returning) and I think this whole idea of MoP requiring progression through all of the tier is a horrible idea for what I perceive to be the wide majority of players who move in and out of the raiding scene as RL dictates.
Don't really mind the goldsink of the gem at all. I don't really see how it fits in with their (apparent) current ideology but the idea that having to do something outside of raiding (in this case making gold) can affect your raiding capability doesn't seem outside of any of the established boundaries. If those who don't focus on their AH activities suffer a detriment then I don't see any more of an issue with that than with people who refuse to do dailies or any other facet of the game.

Going all Gordon Gecko on the AH isn't a feature of the game. The gem just doesn't feel like a good thing to have as a goldsink; mounts, yes, toys, yes, but not a piece of gear with no other way to acquire it.
In total agreement with Kagitaar. Goldsinks should ultimately feel rewarding. Having to pay 10k gold for a replacement gem isn't. It takes the excitement of a new weapon upgrade and replaces it with a swift kick to the mean bean machine.
Two relevant recent tweets from Greg Street:
The first one says that they're open to making catchup via LFR fairly quick on average, which would make those LFRs more popular. The second one suggests that Josh is right and there are plenty of people in LFR, and the queue times just reflect the distribution of roles.
I can't say that Lore is wrong.
It is just an unproven theory of mine based on raiding outside of peak of hours and doing some of the less popular levelling dungeons that have a small pool of players - certain level 70/80 dungeons that players skip in favour of dungeons in the next expansion etc. I waited for hours even as a tank/healer for some of those.
I may end up looking like a horses-behind but I think that when pool sizes reduce it is has a greater effect on queue time due to the reduction of "liquidity" in the system. There is far less "liquidity" in RF versus DF due to the weekly lockout and longer session time. I appreciate what Lore is saying about the importance of role representation and had factored that into my thinking. In fact I believe the liquidity issue combines with the problem of there being disproportionate role ratios of people queueing in RF (versus raid spots) to increase queues when the pool size drops.
As for GC's comments. I think it is true that the gearing up rates will have to be increased otherwise RF wouldn't be acting as a "catch up". Given my current looting history in RF I'd avoid it and run dailies for JP/VP and do PVP instead. I'd never catch up if I relied on RF so again we create a system where alts require too large a commitment.
Rather than boosting the drop rate, perhaps they will remove the lock out? Boosting the drop rate could further reduce the pool size queueing at any given time and increase queues if my theory is correct. We need people running it a lot and very often. Forcing them to repeatedly run content for gear with no lockout restrictions is better than having them run it a few times, gathering all the gear and moving on to the next tier.
The new loot system in RF is a bonus as it reduces the requirement to try and maintain acceptable ratios of armour types - boosting "liquidity". Blizz may also want to introduce the new "choose your loot-role" system as well to help keep queues down. Although the latter makes a complete mockery of the already laughable ilevel restrictions for joining RF.
I don't agree with GC's comments about Molton Core. Sure there might be enough interested parties to form a number of MC groups but more important is whether those people are online twiddling their thumbs and ready to go NOW. I know GC has internal knowledge and figures but he has made plenty of bad calls in the past so I would not take his opinion as being the word of god.
Besides I think it will be Ok in 5.2. I'd be more worried about those trying to gear alts once the final tier is released. Both in terms of queue times for T14 and the chance of ever catching up.
One other point. I'd love to know if the role ratios of alts varies versus the role ratios of mains. I've always felt that there is a greater representation of tanks and healers amongst alts than mains.
The 10k gold is just annoying ... I have 2 RF Shin'ka, Execution of Dominion for my DK ... one for MS Frost with the Sha gem and now one for OS Tank but I'm not going to pay 10k for the gem in my tank one. If I am going to tank a lot I can go reforge and put a new rune on it, which makes it easier than most classes ... but it is just plain annoying. At 1k gold I would buy one. The 10k for the rogue quest in 4.3 was more reasonable since you got to do fun quest too!
The introduction of new VP gear with its associated down shift of the previous VP gear to JP along with BOE bracers and boots provided a good catchup path in Cata. It's not clear that that will happen in MoP given upgrade system for items. I assume they will change the upgrade system to allow JP to be used for below current raid tier items which will help on catch up a bit, while VP upgrades will be for current tier.
More importantly there needs to be new 5 man content for those who enjoy it and it would be nice if it offered some gear to make it more popular so people will queue for it.
I still have another week to go, so I have to ask, what about the Eye of the Black Prince (the second questline item)? Will I be able to get another of those? How? At what cost? All of these upgrades are just creating so many questions.
For that matter, what about 5.2 weapons?
Considering i hve 21 spare; Yes.

As someone for whom an epic MOP weapon, let alone sha-touched, has never dropped, I'm not going to feel any sympathy for the QQ of people suffering the inconvenience of a measly 10K gold for having more than one sha-touched weapon.
10K gold is really not all that - it's one crafted epic armor item, it's 10 crafted augments (patches, buckles, scopes etc). Basically, it's 8-10 spirits of harmony. And you can literally farm those in a week.

DOC First-Year Trips / About the Trips / Types of Trips
Types of Trips
Cabin Camping
Cabin Camping Trips are an opportunity to enjoy sleeping in and relaxing in the beautiful DOC cabins. You will carry a pack or duffel bag while hiking to your cabin in the woods. Day hikes are optional, and you can participate in the wilderness experience regardless of your level of outdoor experience. Packing List
Canoeing Trips go on gorgeous, flat-water rivers led by experienced leaders. Canoes, life jackets, and paddles will be provided. You will be expected to bring their own packs/duffel bags. Waterproof equipment is desirable. Please bring NON-COTTON clothing for this trip. You will be required to take a swim test upon your arrival in Hanover. Packing List
Climb & Hike
Climb & Hike Trips involve both rugged hiking and introductory climbing (no prior experience is needed). The first day of this trip involves a strenuous 7-mile hike up to a campsite where you will stay in a shelter or under tarps. You will spend the second day learning to climb. This trip is ideal for experienced hikers who wish to be introduced to the world of rock climbing. Packing List
Community Service
Community Service Trips will spend the entire first day hiking to reach their camping destination near the Glencliff Home for the Elderly. On the second day, this trip will visit the Glencliff Home, be introduced to the home by their staff, and help run activities & events with residents for part of the day. The hiking for this trip can be moderately strenuous. Packing List
Fishing Trips take place in the Dartmouth College Grant, a wilderness area in northern New Hampshire. Fishing trip leaders are specially trained to attract fish with their charming personalities but occasionally the fish remain uncooperative. Luckily, the Grant does provide ample opportunity for hiking and nature study in addition to fishing. We encourage you to bring your own fishing gear (but some is available too!), and required to purchase a short-term state fishing license. Given the trips proximity to water, you may want to take your swim test while in Hanover. Packing List
Hike and Yoga
Hike and Yoga Trips will explore nature, focusing on aligning the body and soul with natural surroundings. You will hike with a pack into a spectacular student-built cabin and along with daily hikes will have time to explore nature and yoga. Both seasoned yoga experts and those who are simply interested are welcome. Packing List
Hiking 1 - Least Strenuous
Hiking 1: Least Strenuous - If you interested in hiking small stretches of trail in beautiful, less rugged, less mountainous regions of New Hampshire, this may be the trip for you. You will be hiking on the DOC trail system with beautiful views and staying in shelters or cabins. You can expect to hike five miles or more per day. Elevation gain: 0 to 1500 feet. Packing List
Hiking 2 - Moderate
Hiking 2 - Moderate: This category of trips will not involve as much climbing as hiking 3 and 4. The peaks are not as high; you should be prepared to hike five to ten miles a day over moderately difficult terrain. These are great trips for those who are willing to accept a challenge, but in moderation. You will stay in shelters or under tarps. Elevation gain: 500 to 2500 feet. Packing List
Hiking 3 - Harder
Hiking 3 - Harder: Trips of this difficulty will involve 2,000 to 5,000 foot elevation gains. Much of the hiking will be above treeline involving distances of up to ten miles. These trips are designed to provide similar views to those of the most difficult trips with a little less of the physical and mental challenge. Packing List
Hiking 4 - Most Strenuous
Hiking 4 - Most Strenuous: For experienced hikers only. Trips of this level of difficulty involve some of the most rugged hiking conditions in the East. Most of the peaks you will climb will be above treeline and must be reached by steep ascents. Distances average ten miles a day. You will spend the night in shelters or under tarps supplied by the DOC. These are tough trips but the spectacular scenery makes them well worth the effort. Packing List
Horseback Riding
Horseback Riding Trips are set at our beautiful riding facilities at the 180-acre Dartmouth Riding Center at The Morton Farm. Intended for riders with some experience, riding trips feature riding in the outdoor or indoor arenas and a chance to enjoy all aspects of English riding. Horseback riders will camp on a portion of the farm property and rise early to tend and tack the horses. Sturdy boots are a must for this trip, but all other riding equipment (including horses) will be provided. Packing List

Flatwater Kayaking Trips provide a time to enjoy paddling kayaks along the tranquil Connecticut River. You will get to see the scenic Upper Valley, and learn basic kayaking skills. We provide all kayaking equipment, but please bring warm, NON-COTTON clothing. You will be required to pass a swim test upon your arrival in Hanover. Packing List
Kayaking Whitewater
Whitewater Kayaking Trips begin with basic instruction on kayaking, including strokes, rolling and basic boat movement. Afterwards, participants will practice on real (small) rapids. No kayaking experience is necessary or expected, but you must be a strong swimmer. We provide all kayaking equipment, but you should bring warm NON-COTTON clothes and long underwear that you don't mind getting wet. Kayakers will be required to pass a swim test upon their arrival in Hanover. Packing List

Mountain Biking Trips will explore mountain biking trails near Hanover. This trip has opportunities for lots of beginner mountain biking. No bike is required, but you are welcome to bring one if youd prefer. This trip is intended for those comfortable on a bike, but are beginner mountain bikers. Mountain biking is rated as a 'moderate' difficulty trip, as there is some uphill pedaling. Packing List

Guest leaders will share their knowledge of the ecology of the area and who share their knowledge of local history, and native flora and fauna. This trip stays in a DOC cabin. Packing List

You can write, paint, share, and discuss as much or as little as you want. Packing List
Organic Farming
Organic Farming Trips take place either at our very own Dartmouth Organic Farm or Luna Bleu Farm (owned by Dartmouth alumni!) in Vermont. You will learn the basics of organic farming while helping out with chores and various projects. Organic farmers are guaranteed to have a good time and eat like royalty. Organic Farmers at the Dartmouth Organic Farm have the option to swim during their trip, so students should take the swim test if theyd like to swim while at the farm. Packing List
Ropes Course
Ropes Course Trips involve some easy hiking and a guided session on a high & low ropes course. There is a leisurely hike from campus and you will stay outdoors in a shelter. There will be ample time to explore the nearby trails & pond as well. Students should be comfortable with heights up to 40 feet. This trip is great for anyone, regardless of your outdoor experience. Packing List
Trailwork Trips are based on the portion of the Appalachian Trail that Dartmouth Outing Club maintains. In addition to hiking, your group will repair trails with all sorts of tools. We teach you everything you need to know to appreciate trailwork. These trips provide an excellent introduction to some of the caretaking that is done by the DOC. Packing List

Afghani Women: Rising Against Odds
Dear All: Recently I chanced upon an interesting, inspiring and moving video story that appeared on NYT about the women of Bamian province in Afghantisan.
I am totally proud of these women. The governor of this province is a woman, Bamian region also boasts of a woman police officer, women taxi drivers et al. It is incredibly motivating to see that women in this oppressive milieu are lifting their veils, asserting their rights and moving ahead despite multitude of death threats from the Talibans et al.
It is heartening to see their courage and optimism. I am reassured that that one can rise against odds and create a world of one's dreams! Watch the New York Times video.

Throw light on periyar river dam issue?(hot topic in news recently)

Answers (2)
The 116 year old Mullaperiyar Dam is a dam over the Periyar river with a height of 155 feet and length 1200 feet located in Thekkady in Iddukki district. It was constructed in 1895 by the British Government, over the headwaters of the west-flowing Periyar River and its tributary Mullaiyar, to divert water eastwards to Madras Presidency area (the present-day Tamilnadu). Since 1970, Kerala has argued that the dam having outlived its life of 50 years is unsafe to maintain water at 46.3 metresthe full reservoir leveland it should be restricted to 41.45 metres. Over the years many studies have been conducted to look into making the water level safer. In 2010 Tamil Nadu once again rejected the idea of constructing the new dam over the Periyar River. Kerala though seemed sure that it has every reason to be successful in its demand for a new dam because in 1979 the proposal had been cleared for approval by the Centre. This, according to them was agreed upon by Tamil Nadu which they claim took ...moreAnswered by venkatesaldevarajan, 16 Dec '11 10:57 am

Clementi: Capriccios & Variations
CDA67850 2CDs for the price of 1
No 01: Prelude I alla Haydn
No 02: Prelude II alla Haydn
No 03: Prelude I alla Kozeluch
No 04: Prelude II alla Kozeluch
No 05: Prelude I alla Mozart
No 06: Prelude II alla Mozart

No 09: Prelude I alla Vanhal
No 10: Prelude II alla Vanhal
No 11: Prelude I alla Clementi
No 12: Prelude II alla Clementi
It is not entirely clear what Clementi had in mind here: are these fragments meant as serious imitations, perhaps as a handy crib for amateur pianists who had trouble improvising their own preludes and cadenzas? Or are they to be taken as parodies? Both interpretations may have something to be said for them. The Haydn imitations sound at points rather like Haydn (the second one seems to refer to Haydn's recent C major Sonata, Hob XVI:20), and the Mozart ones, too, seem to be respectful imitations. But the Preludes 'alla Sterkel' surely reveal a parodic intent. The music of the German pianist Franz Xaver Sterkel (1750–1817), sometimes described as a bit saccharine, is lampooned with a plethora of performance directions such as calando and con espressione; one four-bar phrase is even marked allegretto dolce e con molta espressione. But Clementi seems at his best when imitating himself. The second Prelude 'alla Clementi' is a sparkling little virtuoso fantasy with the brilliant broken octaves and passages in thirds that were seen as his trademarks.

My dd has 3 small ones and she's just dying to paint them!
We've been painting them too for a long time.. love your layout! I'll have to get one done with some old photos...we haven't painted this years though, they are sitting on the deck with the mums and other fall decor! It's just been so busy!
Katie and the Pumpkins, Oct 2005
but it is a lot easier too then carving...less bugs, less mess....my girls don't like the "icky slimey stuff" on the inside! After halloween we toss them into our natural trash heap...branches, leaves, yard clippings....make sure they are cracked open.. and the squirrels and birds eat it all, including the seeds! I keep hoping one year at least a couple seeds will sprout in the spring!
edited to add a picture of my little one... and to say you can also paint TWO faces on each pumpkin! we usually do that.. Katie likes to do one side scarey and one side funny....
Lizzie and the Pumpkins 2005
wow, she was tiny! not even 3 yet! and no I didn't let her wear that sweater to paint in! :)

mom to Katie and Lizzie
thats cute.
awe so cute !!
my boys are 17 & 19 now & we still carve a pumpkin or 2 every year LOL
they like to use the stensils you can buy to make the fancy carvings
but we have never painted any pumpkins so maybe we'll have to try that next year
we grow our own pumpkins we grow the regular ones as well as the atlantic giant pumpkins which get really large so when the boys were younger we used to enter them in the local autumn fair
xo xo
cute pics, cute kids. We paint too, because there is more the little ones can do themselves that way.
This is such a cute layout for painting pumpkins!
well I think that mess needs to be deleted! (see previous post)
but I sure did enjoy getting to see the cute pumpkins!! haha
mom of four....
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3John 1:4
Thats COOL! love the layout too

LISTEN: Kaskade - 'Atmosphere' (preview)
Listen to Kaskade on iHeartRadio
While Kaskade fans are patiently (or impatiently) waiting for his new album, the producer has shared an official preview of some new music of his. The track, called "Atmosphere," was premiered during the most recent Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Along with some peaceful piano chords, and hypnotizing melody, this is a special track in particular because the vocals are from Kaskade himself!
"Atomsphere" will be released June 10th. Listen below:

There are nineteen Districts of the UUA in North America. Districts are governed by district Boards of Trustees, which develop district policy and support local congregations to encourage the growth, development, and extension of Unitarian Universalist ideals. The District Presidents Association (DPA) exists to be the voice and the ears for Unitarian Universalist district boards with the UUA staff, as well as for education and support of district leadership. Each District elects a member of the UUA Board of Trustees, the policy-making body for the UUA. Some Trustees represent more than one District.
The UUA relies upon energetic, committed, visionary UU volunteers to serve the twenty-plus committees, panels, and task forces that work with staff and the UUA Board to carry out the mission of the Association.
Gathered Here is a joint initiative of the UUA Board of Trustees and the UUA Administration. It is an invitation to all Unitarian Universalists to discover our common aspirations and unleash the power of our faith through one-on-one, small group, and larger group conversations.
For more information contact administration @ uua.org.
