By Dan Merkle, 2012 Conference Chair
AAPOR's 67th Annual Conference, held May 17-20, in Orlando, attracted 1,026 attendees. This is the highest attendance for a year without a joint WAPOR conference and the second highest attendance for an AAPOR conference ever. The program featured more than 90 sessions and panels involving over 500 papers, methodological briefs, demonstrations and poster presentations.
A number of the sessions focused on the conference theme, "Evaluating New Frontiers in Public Opinion and Social Research." These included sessions on using interactive and gaming techniques to improve surveys, advances in web surveys, innovations in the use of mobile devices in survey research, and using social media to measure public opinion and behavior.
The program also included numerous sessions on a diverse range of topics of interest to our profession including substantive studies of public opinion on social, economic and political issues, political polling and elections, cross-national and comparative research, the impact of the media, and methodological research on cell phones, address-based sampling, questionnaire design, nonresponse, sampling, weighting, and mixed-mode data collection.
The conference was kicked off with the plenary session, "Examining the Value of Non-Probability Sampling in Social Research." Douglas Rivers and George Terhanian presented the case for the value of non-probability sampling, and Robert Groves and Elizabeth Stasny were the discussants. The session was moderated by Nancy Mathiowetz.
For those who missed this session, in the coming weeks the video of the plenary, as well as the speakers' presentations will be posted on the AAPOR website for members and conference attendees to access. Other presentations from the rest of the sessions at the conference will be posted on the website and available to AAPOR members and conference attendees later in the summer.
The conference also featured six stellar short courses for those interested in more in-depth methodological training: "Single and Multi-Mode Surveys Using Address-Based Sampling" (Colm O'Muircheartaigh and Ned English), "Unlocking the Potential of Conjoint Analysis/Discrete Choice Modeling and MaxDiff Scaling in Public Opinion Research" (Joseph Curry), "Maximizing the Accuracy of Online Surveys: Comparisons of Methods and Recommendations of Optimal Procedures" (Jon Krosnick), "Improving Surveys with Paradata: Making Use of Process Information" (Frauke Kreuter), "Designing Web Questionnaires" (Mick Couper), "The Role of New Technologies in Powering, Augmenting, or Replacing Traditional Surveys" (Michael Link and Trent Buskirk).
The tradition of AAPOR as a "meeting place" was on display throughout the conference as attendees mingled and networked during the group meals, the New Member and All-Chapter Reception, the President's Reception, the dessert receptions, and refreshment breaks. Attendees also gathered in the exhibit hall which included demonstration sessions, poster presentations, meet the author sessions, the book exhibit, and a diverse range of exhibitors and vendors. On the last night of the conference, attendees enjoyed the post-banquet party featuring live acoustic music and complementary mojitos.
Other conference activities, organized by the Conference Support Committee led by Deborah Rexrode (Chair) and Mandy Sha (Associate Chair), included the docent program for first-time attendees, two speed networking sessions, the golf outing, the fun run/walk, and applied probability.
Mark your calendars for AAPOR's 68th Annual Conference on May 16-19, 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts at the Seaport Boston Hotel and World Trade Center.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A Howard County lawmaker wants to make state agencies more accountable when repeated shortcomings are cited in state audits.
The measure's sponsor, Delegate Gail Bates, is holding a news conference on Tuesday to talk about the legislation.
Bates, a Republican, says too many state agencies are being cited for problems that were identified in earlier audits.

A Call Home to The Chiricahua Nation
people have been subjugated by the government of the
ancestors loss their lives for us and as descendents of these strong and
fearless yet humble people, it is now our responsibility
to gather together from all directions and pray for the restoration of
our Sacred Native Lands. These
land areas are now under the control of United States
government as
public domain land. We as
Chiricahua, who are not recognized distinctively, must return to our way
of life so that our posterity will not be jeopardized due to
assimilation. Historically,
we were herded to and fro taken from lands which held our culture and
way of life at gunpoint. Even
to this day we seem to be "lost" in this country having no place to
call our own. It is now
time to come and unify our Peoples, the Chiricahua Peoples back to our original
ancestral lands which hold sacred religious and ceremonial sites, at
which Chief Cochise is buried. We
must remember the treaty that was signed in 1872 by Cochise, the
Chiricahua Peoples and the United States
which guaranteed our existence in our inherent territory. Lets us gather, as a consensus and as one, the Chiricahua,
and restore our lands and way of life back to us.
Let it not be another hundred years to take this important
step toward the unification of our people,
but let us humbly beseech Usen, Creator to guide us through this important leap
to the restoration of the Chiricahua people
to our entitled and original lands that were set in perfect foundation
in time immemorial.

Color Code: It's Easy Being Green
Give your space a burst of energy with a splash of citrus paint and refreshing green and yellow accessories.
By Ashley Niedringhaus
How to use green and yellow:
1. Mixing patterns is surprisingly easy: Prints, geometrics, and stripes are all fair game if the yellow or green tones look good together.
2. Not into painting? Designer Tobi Fairley, who did the room above, adds color by covering 20 percent of the room in bright accents like chairs, curtains, and clusters of knickknacks.
3. Dark floors balance out a sunny yellow space. For green, anything goes--including a white rug!
Balance it out: Fairley used an equal number of green pieces on each side of this room.

Stephanie Pratt is on the hunt for a well-off boyfriend.
The former star of The Hills and sister of Spencer Pratt is going on Millionaire Matchmaker, the Bravo dating show starring Patti Stanger, to make this happen.
Stephanie Pratt, 28, previously dated millionaire and social media entrepreneur Julien Chabbott. Having had a taste of the good life, she's not about to go back.
Pratt and sister-in-law Heidi Montag were spotted filming scenes for Millionaire Matchmaker Friday, getting ready for her date in Marina Del Rey, Calif.
Spencer, 30, and Heidi were once a millionaire match themselves, having grossed an estimated $10 million from The Hills and their other pursuits.
Of course, they also went broke or darn close.
To their credit, they've discussed at length about how they let fame and fortune go to their head and wish they had not squandered such a fortune.

An invaluable resource of health information.
Health Encyclopedia

Cystitis - noninfectious
Noninfectious cystitis is irritation of the bladder that is not caused by a urinary tract infection.
- Alternative Names
Abacterial cystitis; Radiation cystitis; Chemical cystitis; Urethral syndrome - acute
- Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Noninfectious cystitis is most common in women of childbearing years. The exact cause of noninfectious cystitis is often unknown. However, it has been associated with the use of bubble baths, feminine hygiene sprays, sanitary napkins, spermicidal jellies, radiation therapy to the pelvis area, and chemotherapy with certain types of medications, and other irritants.
Certain foods, such as tomatoes, artificial sweeteners, caffeinated products, chocolate, and alcohol, can cause irritative bladder symptoms.
See also: Interstitial cystitis
- Symptoms
- Pressure in the lower pelvis
- Painful urination
- Frequent need to urinate
- Urgent need to urinate
- Decreased ability to hold urine
- Need to urinate at night
- Abnormal urine color -- cloudy
- Blood in the urine
- Foul or strong urine odor
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
- Signs and tests
A urinalysis may reveal red blood cells (RBCs) and some white blood cells (WBCs).
A urine culture (clean catch) or catheterized urine specimen will reveal whether you have a bacterial infection.
If the cystitis is related to radiation or chemotherapy, urine tests and cystoscopy (use of lighted instrument to look inside the bladder) may be needed.
- Treatment
The goal of treatment is to manage the symptoms.
Medical Treatments:
- Anticholinergic drugs can help improve bladder contraction and emptying. Possible side effects include slowed heart rate, low blood pressure, increased thirst, and constipation.
- Muscle relaxants (such as diazepam) and alpha-1 blockers (prazosin) may be used to reduce the strong urge to urinate or need to urinate frequently.
- Surgery is rarely performed unless a person has severe urinary retention or significant blood in the urine.
- Avoid fluids that irritate the bladder such as alcohol, citrus juices, and caffeine.
Other therapies:
- Bladder exercises to re-establish a pattern of regular and complete urination may help. Bladder training exercises involve developing a schedule of times when you should try to urinate, while trying to delay urination at all other times. One method is to force yourself to urinate every 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours, despite any leakage or urge to urinate in between these times. As you become skilled at waiting this long, gradually increase the time intervals by 1/2 hour until you are urinating every 3 to 4 hours.
- Pelvic muscle strengthening exercises called Kegel exercises are used primarily to treat people with stress incontinence. However, these exercises may also help relieve symptoms of urgency related to long-term (chronic) noninfectious cystitis. Performing the exercises properly and regularly increases the method's success.
- Electrical stimulation to the pelvis may be used as a treatment for noninfectious cystitis, but this is controversial.
- Expectations (prognosis)
Although most cases of cystitis are uncomfortable, they usually resolve over time.
- Complications
- Ulceration of bladder wall
- Urethral stricture
- Diminished bladder capacity
- Bladder cancer
- Anemia
- Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of cystitis, or if you have been diagnosed with cystitis and symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop, especially fever, back or flank pain, and vomiting.
- Prevention
Avoid using items that may be irritants such as bubble baths, feminine hygiene sprays, sanitary napkins or tampons (especially scented products), and spermicidal jellies.
If you need to use such products, try to find those that do not cause irritation for you.

Skyfire 3.0.1 for Android brings SD storage and background download notification
Skyfire, an alternative browser for Android, has just been updated to version 3.0.1. This is a minor point update, so they haven't even bothered updating the splash screen – it still shows as 3.0 when I load it on my device.
Still, the update is noteworthy, if only for the fact that it supports Froyo's ability to store apps on the SD card, so you don't have to sacrifice any of your device's precious onboard storage space for Skyfire. Froyo users will also enjoy being able to upload files from the browser.
Even if you're not running Froyo, though, it's a worthy update: Crash reporting has been improved, as well as the browser's background download capabilities. There's a barcode waiting for you after the jump.

Facebook Adds New Gender Identity Options for Users
Facebook has always pushed users to reveal their true identities on the service, and on Thursday, it took that commitment to a new level. The social network now allows users to select a "custom gender" for their profiles, meaning users who do not identify as male or female can select a neutral gender identity. See also: Equality Everywhere: Coming Out in the Digital Age Until Thursday, users could only select their gender as female ("she" and "her"), or male ("he" and "his").

207 The LEFT Show – The Danger Zen
You have to live your life as YOUR life, you can't live it on other people's terms; if you do, it can blow up in your face … or between your shoulders, you know whatever!
Forrest id out again this week, so Taylor Hunsaker popped into the studio to hang out with JM Bell and Bob Easton. We covered a lot of ground, and, as usually happens when there's a girl in the studio, the show went long. Whoopsie!

199f The LEFT Show – Bye-Bye, Bobby, Don't Cry
I'm supposed to write something here that makes you want to click in and listen to this week's show, and, you know what? I don't know what the hell to say. Between work anxiety and our seemingly ever more far away 200th Episode – loaded with a stack of it's own problems – I'm just happy that I'm still making shows, you know?
We say good bye to FOTP Bob Henline before he leaves the state for greener … greater whiter pastures. JM Bell, JC Carter, and Bob Easton join in the fun, and Jason Williams has an all new The Sidetrack!

199e The LEFT Show – The Ebola Town Blues
JC is back in the studio with JM Bell, Forrest Shaw, and Bob Easton, and we're all pretending that we're not just stalling while we run around in circles trying to figure out what the hell we're doing for the big 200th.
So, here is a special episode, with many special things, not like a normal episode, no, no. Special. It's even got some Jason Williams in it, if you know what I mean!

Hi Everyone,
Bill called twice today, just because he could, I guess, now that he'd changed the faulty battery in the satellite phone, and the reception outside the cabin being very good. We talked for quite a while, and what a delightful change from his last voyage, in 2002, when all I got for 24 days was two short fax messages from him some passing tankers were kind enough to send.
So today, Wednesday, 5-13-09, at 3:08 pm they were at 32 degrees 10 minutes North and 129 degrees 2 minutes West. The wind was at 4.5 knots, and so was the boat. They were using the asymmetrical spinnaker and trying to go as further south as they could to catch more wind.
Both of them were feeling very well. It was sunny, warm, cloudless, and the sea was effervescent blue, with a five foot swell. Not a single boat or ship to be seen as far as the eye could see. But they did see a flock of dolphins about a mile away, and two albatrosses. Nothing else. They expect to have a beautiful night with lots of stars tonight, since the clouds all cleared. They have been busy cleaning and drying the boat, and now everything is much better.
I asked what Pam wanted to relay to her list, and she said that she was herself again, and wished you were here.
Now to your questions:
Tom Johnson, the Cape Horn wind vane is working fantastic! I'll try to find Yves' and Eric's email address and send this news to them tonight.
To Joe: they were very pleased with their speed up to this morning... But they're dealing with it by going south, hoping for more wind there.
To Yael: they've been too busy, tired and sick to read the notes in the first three days, but now they've started reading them. The first one happened to have Ori's picture, very cute! They're going to catch up now and read one or more a day from now on.
To Cree, please tell Howard that the solar panels are working fantastic! They have all the electricity they need.
That's all I remember. If I've forgotten some one's question, please forgive me and ask again.
All the best to all of you,

Lincoln police are looking for a man trying to coax kids into his car.
Capt. Jason Stille said two separate cases were reported just before 3 p.m. Wednesday. Stille said a 9-year-old boy leaving Roper Elementary in the area of 18th and G reported that a man drove up and asked him to get into his car to help him look for his dog. The boy said no and called police.
Two girls in the same area reported a similar incident to police. It was the first time their mother let her 5 and 9-year-old daughters walk home from school.
"My 9-year-old told my 5-year-old to start running and then my older daughter ran away after her," said the mom who didn't want to be identified. "The guy drove away and came around the block and as they were passing the next block the guy stopped in front of them, told them don't be scared, just get in the car and they went around the car and kept running."
Stille said the man is between 20 and 30 years old with brown or blond hair, possibly driving a light metallic-colored car.

Lynn BetlockManaging Editor
If genealogists researching Boston ancestors aren't familiar with the work of Annie Haven Thwing (1851-1940), they should be. Born in Roxbury (now part of Boston), Thwing "devoted over thirty years of her life to painstaking historical research on early Boston. According to Thwing, her interest was sparked by a desire 'to find out where my ancestors lived, who were their neighbors, and what the neighborhood was like.' Only Thwing did not stop with her own ancestors; she set out to answer these questions for all of Boston. Focusing on analysis and synthesis of primary sources, Annie Haven Thwing created several indispensable and accessible resources for historians."[1]
"When Annie presented her research collection to the Massachusetts Historical Society in December 1916, it consisted of twenty-two typewritten volumes of Boston deed extracts entitled 'Inhabitants and Estates of the Town of Boston, 1630–1800,' a two-volume 'History of the Streets of Boston, 1630–1800,' and the Thwing Card Index. This last comprised approximately 125,000 index cards, with all the 'items of interest of each inhabitant' she had compiled arranged alphabetically by name. That index, still much used by researchers and now the foundation of an electronic database, fills seventy-four library drawers at the Massachusetts Historical Society."[2]
In 1920, Thwing drew on her research to publish the book for which she is best known today, The Crooked and Narrow Streets of Boston, 1630–1822. In 2001, the Massachusetts Historical Society and the New England Historic Genealogical Society collaborated on a CD, Inhabitants and Estates of the Town of Boston, 1630–1800 and The Crooked and Narrow Streets of Boston, 1630–1822, that includes the Thwing Index and contains more than 62,000 records. (The CD is available for purchase here.)
While many genealogists are familiar with Annie Haven Thwing's scholarship, they might not be aware that she also created a model of Boston that can still be viewed today. "In 1900, the Massachusetts Infant Asylum, a charitable organization for which Annie served as one of the directors, planned a fundraising fair. Typically, Annie decided upon an ambitious project for exhibition: an accurate scale model of the town of Boston, ca. 1775, based largely on the information she had amassed…Annie was no modeler, however, and time was short, so the model had to be reduced to a…modest five and a half feet by four and a half feet. The outline and topographical features were drawn from a map Annie had commissioned for the book she planned to write. For the model buildings, Annie turned to a carpenter named Munsey living on Orr's Island, Maine, where she passed her summers…Munsey worked from pictures supplied by Annie Thwing…[and her] model featured the eighteenth-century street pattern she had so carefully reconstructed and nearly 120 handcarved building replicas. In addition to the acclaim it received for its appearance at the fair for the Infant Asylum, the Thwing model also received appreciation in a city exposition in 1909. In December of that year, Annie gave the model to the Old South Association, where it resides as a popular exhibit to this day."[3]
Built in 1729 as a Puritan meeting house, the Old South Meeting House is best known as the site of lively public meetings in the years leading to the American Revolution, including the meeting that led to the Boston Tea Party. At the time, Old South was the largest building in Boston. Today, Old South is a museum, a Freedom Trail site, and an active gathering place. (Old South is also a center for history education, as I witnessed last week when my children and their third grade classmates took on the roles of Loyalists and Patriots and debated the tax on tea.)
Annie Haven Thwing left a rich and invaluable legacy for Boston genealogists, historians, and institutions — and it all began with a simple desire "to find out where my ancestors lived." For a detailed look at Thwing's life, I highly recommend Len Travers's article, cited below.

Superparamagnetic MnFe2O4 nanocrystals of different sizes were synthesized in high-boiling ether solvent and transferred into water using three different approaches. First, we applied a ligand exchange in order to form a water soluble polymer shell. Second, the particles were embedded into an amphiphilic polymer shell. Third, the nanoparticles were embedded into large micelles formed by lipids. Although all approaches lead to effective negative contrast enhancement, we observed significant differences concerning the magnitude of this effect. The transverse relaxivity, in particular r(2)*, is greatly higher for the micellar system compared to the polymer-coated particles using same-sized nanoparticles. We also observed an increase in transverse relaxivities with increasing particle size for the polymer-coated nanocrystals. The results are qualitatively compared with theoretical models describing the dependence of relaxivity on the size of magnetic spheres.

The pilot of the ultralight vehicle inadvertently stalled the ultralight vehicle on his first flight while turning from crosswind to downwind. The 70 year old passenger/co-owner of the vehicle had been experiencing cardiovascular problems, and as recently as 2 days prior to the accident, fainted and passed out while working on the vehicle with the other owner. He refused to go to the hospital with the responding paramedics for a checkup; however, he agreed to 'ground himself' until his next visit with a cardiologist scheduled for the day after the accident. A long time friend and pilot was asked to fly the ultralight. The co-owner elected to accompany the private pilot as a 'backseat pilot' in the tandem vehicle. Several runups and high speed taxi checks were conducted by the private pilot, who had not previously flown the vehicle, to 'get the feel of the machine.' Witnesses observed the nose of the ultralight gradually pitch down during the turn to the downwind leg.

During the first landing for the student pilot's first solo flight, the aircraft landed hard and bounced twice. On the third touchdown, the nose gear collapsed and the aircraft slid to a stop. The firewall was damaged as a result of the nose gear collapse at the upper attachment mount. Smoke was observed coming from the engine compartment area shortly after the pilot exited the aircraft. A fire erupted a few minutes later and consumed the aircraft. No mechanical failures or malfunctions were reported with the aircraft at the time of the accident.

First we had Gray Thursday, followed by Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, then Cyber Monday. All of those days, focused on shopping.
But thousands of charities and organizations came together Tuesday in an effort to get Americans to pause their holiday spending and give back.
"This is the first year that non-profits are asking people to network through social media and start off the giving season by donating online," said AIDS/HIV Services Group executive director Peter DeMartino.
Organizations are swarming social media to promote the day. On Twitter, #GivingTuesday has been trending across the United States.
AGS is one of more than 2,000 groups taking part in Giving Tuesday. The Charlottesville non-profit has launched a social media campaign in the hopes that the nationally-celebrated day will bring some attention to its cause.
"It's also a really good opportunity to get out our message about building community," said DeMartino. "Not only for people living with HIV, but also people affected by and at risk for HIV."
DeMartino said a $25 donation provides an HIV test and counseling session. Fifty-dollars covers two life coaching sessions, at a time when some need it the most.
"The holidays are tough. They're often tough for people who have been stigmatized for HIV," said DeMartino.
ASG is also getting ready for World AIDS Day, which is December 1.

Two local agencies awarded energy grants

Two agencies in our area have won grants from the state of Tennessee to fund local energy efficiency projects.
It's called the Clean Tennessee Energy Grant Program, and they require a match from the applicant.
In Greene County, the water and light commission in the town of Greeneville won the maximum amount, a quarter million dollars.
And in Carter County, the city of Elizabethton is being awarded $176,000.
The money comes from an April 2011 Clean Air Act settlement with the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Approximately 900 students from approximately 18 schools attended a Try-A-Trade event held at the North Battleford Exhibition Grounds in April
North West Career Development Partnership patterned the opportunity on a similar event hosted in Lloydminster over the past couple of years.
The idea is to expose students to the vast variety of designated trades in the province. With a current shortage of trades people in Saskatchewan the partnership says it is imperative to fill this demand by having the province�s future workforce consider a trade as a career.
In a press release the partnership states, �We would like to thank the businesses that took time out of their busy schedules to attend our event. We were so pleased at how the exhibitors showcased their trades and engaged the students. From styling hair to laying bricks on a brick wall � there seemed to be something that everyone was interested in trying.�
Participating businesses had the opportunity to demonstrate what they do, talk to participants about summer employment opportunities and let students know that they don�t have to leave our region to find viable employment in trades.
The partnership plans to host Try-A-Trade again next spring and encourage smore businesses involving trades to participate. For more information, contact Melaney Bossaer, program co-ordinator, at 937-5138.

Nanocrystalline FeAlN and FeTaN films are prepared by direct growth and crystallization of their as-deposited amorphous films, respectively. The two films both show soft magnetism of nanocrystalline, but their uniaxial anisotropy is observed to be different from each other. Measurements of microstructure reveal that Ta addition leads to higher N-solubility in these films and results in larger lattice dilation and more compressive stress. The uniaxial anisotropy is the consequence of the anisotropic distribution of interstitial N atoms in an a-Fe lattice. Al is easy to react with nitrogen, therefore the a-Fe is purer in the FeAlN film than in the FeTaN film and the stress is tensile in the FeAlN film. The difference in anisotropy may be attributed to the different microstructures in both films.

Pre-Election Trivia Night with Julie Klausner [UPDATE: Cancelled]
Update: Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Sandy being a jerk and messing things up all over the eat cost, this event has been cancelled. Sad face. Very, very sad face.
How well do you remember all the ins and outs of the 2012 election cycle? These past bazillion months sure seem to have flown by, haven't they? Off the top of your head, can you even recall who won the Ames Iowa Straw Poll? Or what Rick Perry's third thing was? Or if Tim Pawlenty is a person who exists?
Test your knowledge of the Campaign That Was, and other great moments in politics, with So You Think You Know Election 2012?, a fun and hilarious night of political trivia, hosted by comedian Julie Klausner on Sunday Nov 4, 2012, 7 pm at the 92YTribeca Mainstage, 200 Hudson St., New York City. Presented by 92Y's Campaign for the American Conversation, TrivWorks and Indecision.
Bring a team, or come solo and join one. Prizes will be awarded and the winning team will be sworn in as 2012 Presidents of Trivia!
By the way, the answer to that last question is: No, not really.

This must be the most beautiful piece of clothing I ever made. I'm so happy with it. It's everything I wanted it to be.
I wanted a white winter coat since last winter. I found the perfect pattern in burdastyle from september 2011. the ferfect fabric and matching gloves for the short sleeves.
I made the pattern 5cm shorter. It needed to be shorter than my previous coat.
I had a bit of trouble with the split in the back but it came out alright.

While the totalitarianism that provoked George Orwell into writing 'Nineteen Eighty- Four' seems to be passing into oblivion, his harrowing, cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate, and its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade. This book was challenged in 1981 in the state of Florida in large part because it was viewed as "pro-Communist."
It is the story--set in post-Civil War Ohio--of Sethe, an escaped slave who has risked death in order to wrench herself from a living death; who has lost a husband and buried a child; who has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad: a woman of "iron eyes and backbone to match." Sethe lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter, Denver, her mother-in-law, Baby Suggs, and a disturbing, mesmerizing intruder who calls herself Beloved.
It has been challenged and removed from shelves in various school libraries.
"The best way to understand Pasternak's achievement in Doctor Zhivago is to see it in terms of this great Russian literary tradition, as a fairy tale, not so much of good and evil as of opposing forces and needs in human destiny and history that can never be reconciled . . . [Zhivago is] a figure who embodies the principle of life itself, the principle that contradicts every abstraction of revolutionary politics."—from the Introduction by John Bayley
Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. It was banned in Madrid for the sentence "Works of charity negligently performed are of no worth."
Spoiled Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara never stops loving the married Ashley Wilkes even as she faces the hardships of life during the Civil War and the changes brought about by Reconstruction.
"Lady Chatterley's Lover is one of the most beautiful and tender love stories of modern fiction. It is perhaps Lawrence's greatest book. Inspired by the long-standing affair between Frieda, Lawrence's German wife, and an Italian peasant who eventually became her third husband, Lady Chatterley's Lover is the story of Constance Chatterley, who, while trapped in an unhappy marriage to an aristocratic mine owner whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent, has an affair with Mellors, the gamekeeper. Although Lawrence wrote the book in 1928, it was banned in Britain, Australia and the United States. Penguin Books went to court in 1959 in order to publish this book. It became a best seller immediately."
"Leaves of Grass" inaugurated a new voice, style, and optimistic, bombastic vision into American letters, one that took the nation itself as subject. This classic was "Banned in Boston" in 1881 for its language.
Peyton Place, published in 1956, has sold over 10,000,000 copies world-wide and remains one of the biggest selling novels of all time. Its sequel, Return to Peyton Place, published in 1959, was a national best-seller for many, many months. It was considered absolutely scandalous when it was published. Peyton Place stirred controversy with its explicit—for the time—depictions of sex and sins in a small New England town. Today, the once shocking novel and its sequel seem tame, and are taught in college English courses as classics of their time, well-written and honest in the evocation of the passions, jealousies, and secrets of small-town America. In 1957, it was made into an award-winning movie starring Lana Turner.

Buyer's Guide: Freeview HD TVs
If you're replacing an old television set, connectivity is a potential issue that it's worth considering carefully. Having a decent number of HDMI ports is certainly a good idea, for connecting up Blu-ray and DVD players, and games consoles, and most sets cater for such devices well. If, however, you have older equipment you may …
Tightly Specced? wtf
Freeview is hardly tightly specced!
Take the sound format, apparently the broadcasters can use AAC or Dolby Digital+, unfortunatly they didn't specifiy that the output should be transcoded to a more universal format (dolby digital or dts)...so your fancy HD TV will just be feeding stereo to your amp...how 'modern'!
Nor did they specificy a minium bitrate, so you end up with overly compressed crap that only looks good on youtube or your phone.
They don't even correctly apply the H.264 video standard, so your recorded programs can't be played on devices that 'support' h.264.
So all in all its about the same as all the other tech standards, incomplete with masses of room for user confusion and 'new' versions.
So What?
Will 5.1 audio and 100% standards compliant kit for the video make the return of Big Fucking Brother to the tv any different? Will it make any difference to your drunken enjoyment of the world cup? Of course not.
Will it make any difference to your life in any way shape or form? No, but it will affect your bored to shit friends when you are trying to explain just why your new Freeview HD is better than their SD stuff, because lets face it...no one (who actually counts) really cares, they just want to watch TV on what ever it is Dixons are selling when their old stuff goes tits up.
Alternative Freeview HD buyer's guide
1. Do nothing.
2. Ignore all the hype over a range of products that will be half the price and twice as good next year.
3. Buy an HD recorder with the money you save on your next telly.
In fact
What I said in the piece was not that it's "tightly specced", but that it is more so than the standard def service. It's still not as tight as, say, Freesat, where the EPG layout and genre screens are controlled, but there are more restrictions than in the past.
The surround issue is something we've been following for a while - see last week's report here, and the stuff I've been publishing on my own blog for the last month. We'll have an update regarding that fairly soon, too, just as soon as some other people get back to us. It certainly far from ideal, to put it mildly.
However, I simply don't recognise the description of the Freeview picture quality as 'overly compressed crap' - have you watched it? And which bits of the H.264 video standard aren't being used properly?
A far more common reason for not being able to play recorded material from a PVR on other equipment is that that other equipment, while supporting the H.264 codec, does not necessarily understand how to get H.264 from an MPEG Transport Stream, which is what has to be broadcast - just as some kit also doesn't understand an MPEG2 video Transport Stream, and needs it turned into a Programme Stream before it can play back. A case, as Morecambe and Wise might say, of having all the right packets, but not necessarily in the right order.

Calhoun, Ga.-based floor-covering maker Mohawk Industries is in advanced talks to buy the unlisted Italian ceramics maker Marazzi Group, two sources familiar with the deal told Reuters on Friday.

A second source said the price of the deal was around $1.2 billion.
Marazzi declined to comment while Mohawk was not immediately available for a comment.

Derryn Hinch's final opening editorial
Different start. Different day. That was Big Bob Valentine - performing my theme song of more than 35 years - live - here in the studio.
A different start, because today is going to be different. Different and special. Happy and sad. Lots of shared memories and we want to include you, my loyal, sometimes long-suffering, listeners, include you in a big way, for this my final program here on 3AW Drive. Final program after ten years of top-rating radio.
LISTEN: All the 'Hinch on Drive' Flashbacks from Derryn's final week
We'll have some more flashbacks, as we've had all week. Some classic moments from a program that goes out on top. And proudly so.
VIDEO: Derryn Hinch's final show
A program from which I was sacked three months ago even though I won national awards for being the best talk personality or best current affairs commentator in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Plus entry into the Hall of Fame. Go figure.
I know, the day after the axe fell I came back on air, still shell-shocked – and to their credit – they let me back on air. Didn't escort me off the premises. And left me on air even after I said you can't legislate against stupidity.
Here we go! Everything in place for @humanheadline's last show. LISTEN LIVE: bit.ly/GJgvHD twitter.com/3AW693/status/…— 3AW Melbourne (@3AW693) November 30, 2012
I'm not going to kick the crap out of management today. You all did that when the news broke. And they'll find out the wisdom of their 'forward-thinking' and 'different direction' when the ratings start coming in next year.
I will admit, I felt strange this morning preparing for this last program. Thinking about what I'd say. I did go back, for the first time, to the statement 3AW put out the night they ambushed me as I came off air after that classic interview with moonwalker Buzz Aldrin.
I was looking for the reason. It wasn't there. It talked about 'changing audience expectations'.
I thought your expectations included a host who tried to tell the truth, championed your causes, often unpopular ones, challenged politicians and even challenged my bosses when I thought they were wrong.
I now know why they sacked me. I was the rebel with too many causes. One senior executive did say that they planned to 'push the boundaries'. Jeez, if you pushed the boundaries any further than I have on radio and television, you'd fall off the edge. I have been to jail for causes. Been fined. Done community service. Done five months under house arrest for causes. And AW just got tired of my causes. Even if you didn't. One exec did tell me, when I came back here for my third stint at AW, that he hoped I wouldn't 'go on and on about the paedophile thing'. Well, I did.
And on that issue, I have never been more proud than when Prime Minister Gillard announced, in this time slot, that she was appointing a Royal Commission into child abuse and the cover-ups by religious organisations - especially by the Catholic Church. I said that day, the news meant I would leave AW a happy man. And I meant it.
It's been a long haul, especially the last couple of years. Been to the High Court and back. Been to death's door and back. And I've shared it all with you. For better and for worse.
But put today into perspective. One man is losing his job. Sadly, it's happening, has happened, to thousands of you in these tough times. And I've got somewhere to go. As I said the night they got me: 'Hey, put this into perspective. I wasn't even meant to be alive for you to sack me'.
So I have been alive one more year than I thought. One more year than some people hoped.
My philosophy remains the same. In the dedications in my new book, I quoted my then 90-year-old grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Hinch. She said: 'It's not what happens to you in life that matters. It's how you handle it'. I think I've managed that, Nanna.
So let's handle the next two hours with some style, some shared memories and some fun. Because as the theme song says That's Life.
FOOTNOTE: You know, looking back there are some things from the Drive program that make me feel really proud. And you helped do it. I mentioned the Royal Commission. There's also the law change coming over suppression orders for serial sex offenders. I may have led the charge, but I don't forget the several thousand of you who stood on the steps of Parliament House at the Name Them Shame Them rally and shouted the names of two serial offenders. That's the bad law I spent five months under house arrest for. And it is changing.
There was the annual Bikeathon for disadvantaged and disabled kids. The Variety Club Christmas treat that 3AW cancelled this year. We kept it on Drive and you gave me more than 700 bikes this year.
I gave some away at the Freemasons this month and last night got this email from Chris Kelly. She said:
Yesterday I went to Cranbourne to be part of the Variety club's bike event. It was fabulous to see all the kids' faces when we handed them their own bike.
Some couldn't wait to ride and others were just speechless with huge smiles. It made me all mushy as I didn't have a bike growing up. This event was priceless'.
And an email from Bianca Wood, mother of young leukemia sufferer Maybelle. The girl whose dream was to visit the Ellen deGeneres show in the U.S.
Bianca wrote:
Totally forgot this week is Derryn's last! We have wonderful news about Maybelle's wish to go to The Ellen Show! She's going !!! March 7 next year. Because of the help of Derryn and 3AW we raised enough money for ALL of us to go and have our first family holiday! About $20,000 all up. We are so grateful for all your help and support.
There was the ongoing BloodOath! campaign with Dr Jodie-Ann Senior. Since we started that blood donor awareness drive back in March the Blood Bank has signed up 25,000 new donors. One in three of you will need blood products some time in your life. Only 3 per cent donate blood.
Still, there's some unfinished business. The campaign for more organ donors, and the opt-out system, and your decision to be an organ donor to be binding. That fight goes on. And my dear young friend, Marianne Thrush, still waiting for a multiple-organ transplant. Eight months on the waiting list. In and out of hospitals for years. Hang in there, kid.
There's never been a truer slogan: So much to do, so little time. At least I've been given a little more time than I thought. I thank my organ donor Heath Gardner's family for that. Will try to use it well, if not always wisely.

Derryn, I have been a loyal listener to you since your 3XY days and followed you to AW, now I will be following you out the door. I certainly won't be listening to the accountant!
Not being bitter but I find him boring.
All the best in your future endeavours.Mark Sunday 2 December, 2012 - 12:27 AM
Sorry that your going .Shame on 3AW management.Did not always agree with your opinions but i admired how you stood up for the underdog even going to jail for your principles . I won't be listening to 3AW anymore and good luck at channel 7 oh well that's life- thank your mother for the rabbitsNicole Saturday 1 December, 2012 - 10:50 PM
Best of luck Derryn, I have followed you over the years from station to station wherever possible and will look forward to your next career move. 4:00 - 6:00 weekdays on 3AW is banned in our household from now on.
Digital and internet radio is wonderful, it's amazing how many alternatives you can find, think about that one 3AW management. An audience is no longer confined to Melbourne radio....5AA in Adelaide is looking pretty good for a start.Peter Saturday 1 December, 2012 - 10:05 PM

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - One woman dead and more than a dozen people were injured after a multi-vehicle accident shut down part of the Interstate 610 eastbound in New Orleans.
According to investigators, a 30-year-old Slidell man driving a dump truck lost control and struck a car, causing a chain reaction crash with 11 other vehicles Tuesday afternoon.
New Orleans police booked the driver, Michael Lindsey, with manslaughter. Police say speed is believed to be a factor in crash.
Officers say a 76-year-old woman was killed in the crash, and 17 others were injured. Three of those are in critical condition.
Police have not released the victim's name.

Omaha Fashion Week has come and gone, but a big fashion show takes place Thursday. Sew In Style features the work of students and combines the principles of service and learning.
Students from Omaha North and Omaha Central high schools started their mission at Goodwill headquarters. They got a limited budget to shop around and then it was on to the sewing room to turn their finds into one-of-a-kind looks, learning to find value in otherwise unwanted stuff and make it brand new.
"I consider it like a fairy dress almost," says North High senior Ruby Bless, almost finished turning an old strapless gown into a walking work of art. "It's a much more personal project for me."
Her work, along with her classmates, is part of UNO's P-16 Initiative, pairing up college students with younger learners to work toward a common goal centered around a community organization.
"I decided with Goodwill nearby and the kids like to remake their clothes and it helps with the cost, too, teach them be thriftful," says North High consumer science teacher Susan Witty. "It's fun to see them budget. I can get these three items for the $10 or I could get this."
With just the $10 in hand, the students found their fashion show materials inside a Goodwill thrift store. "I always head toward the dresses first 'cause I always end up getting dresses for like $1," says Bless.
They also took a tour behind the scenes, getting to see how Goodwill works and why its operation make a difference in the community. "They reuse everything and it doesn't go to waste."
Back in class, UNO public relations students put their own studies to the test, helping their younger peers write a script to accompany their design in the show. "It's really cool what these kids have been able to change just everyday Goodwill stuff in to," says UNO junior Rani Potter. "I think it's really great that they have the opportunity to do this kind of thing. I never got to do this kind of thing when I was in high school. It was just kind of like, get your schoolwork done and get out, but I think it's really cool that they get to try something that they want to do potentially for the rest of their life."
"It's actually really exciting to see all our things go down the runway and I think everyone has a good time 'cause they get to see all their hard work pay off," says Bless, who plans to study business after high school so she open her own shop with all handmade and re-purposed items.
You can check out Bless and her classmates' designs soon as they'll go into display windows at Goodwills across the metro.

Street Fighter II': Hyper FightingTalk0

|Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting

|Release date
|Single-player, multiplayer
Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting, better known as Street Fighter II' Turbo (ストリートファイターIIダッシュターボ) in Japan, is a competitive fighting game released for the arcades by Capcom in 1993. It is the third game in the Street Fighter II sub-series of Street Fighter games following Street Fighter II': Champion Edition. Released less than a year after the previous installment, Hyper Fighting introduced a faster playing speed and new special moves for certain characters, as well as further refinement to the character balance.
Hyper Fighting was the final arcade game in the Street Fighter II series to utilize the CP System hardware. The next game in the series, Super Street Fighter II, switched to the CP System II hardware.
Changes from Champion EditionEdit
- Increased game speed: Hyper Fighting features faster playing speed compared to Champion Edition. As a result, the inputs for special moves and combos requires more precise timing, leading to a greater margin of error. The faster game speed also allowed players to get into battle quicker, as well as to counterattack quicker.
- New special moves: With the exception of Guile and the four Grand Masters (Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison), each returning character was given at least one additional special move, such as Chun-Li's Kikoken projectile attack and Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport. These special moves were added to compensate for shortcomings that these characters had in previous editions. Other moves were also modified to allowed for more balanced competition. For example, M. Bison can no longer trap his opponents into a corner with his Scissors Kick.
New color palettes: Every character has a new alternate color palette instead of the ones they used in Champion Edition. With exception of M. Bison, each character's new color palette is selected by pressing any attack button, while the original color palette is selected by pressing Start.
Single-player mode: The single-player mode and endings are identical to those of Champion Edition. However, there's an additional scene which shows the player character standing in first place on a victory stand between M. Bison in second place and Sagat in third place, unless the player is using Sagat or Bison himself (in such cases, Vega will appear standing in third place, while Sagat or Bison will stand in first place depending on who is being used by the player).
Home versionsEdit
Super NESEdit
Hyper Fighting was ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as Street Fighter II Turbo. This port was released on July 11, 1993 in Japan, and in August 1993 in North America and the PAL region. The port was developed using the SNES port of the original Street Fighter II as its base, but with a larger cartridge size of 20 Megabits. Despite being titled Turbo as well, this port also contains Champion Edition in the form of a "Normal" mode. The game's playing speed is adjustable in Turbo mode by up to four settings by default, with a secret code that allows up to six faster settings. Other secret codes allow the player to enable and disable specific Special Moves in Versus Mode, as well as play through the single-player mode with all the Special Moves disabled.
The change of volume in the characters' voices when they perform a different variation of their Special Moves based on the strength level of the attack was removed, but the voice clips of the announcer saying the names of each country was restored, along with the barrel-breaking bonus stage that was removed in the first SNES port. The graphics of each character's ending were changed to make them more accurate to the arcade version. Sound effects featuring people or animals shouting after a round ended were added as well, however, these were not included in the original arcade version. However, these sound effects were included in Super Street Fighter II released a few months earlier.
Sega Mega Drive/GenesisEdit
The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version of Hyper Fighting, titled Street Fighter II' Plus: Champion Edition in Japan and Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition in North America and Europe, was released on September 28, 1993 in Japan and on October 1993 in North America and Europe. It was first of two Street Fighter II ports for the Sega Genesis and came in a 24 Megabit cartridge.
The Genesis version was originally announced simultaneously with the PC Engine version and was intended to be a straight port of Champion Edition as well. The first screenshots released to the public had the top part of the background cut off where the characters' health gauges, scores, and time limit were displayed. However, the game was delayed in order to make the graphics more comparable to the SNES and PC Engine versions and content from the SNES version of Turbo were added, resulting in the name changes to II' Plus and Special Champion Edition. A six-button controller for the Genesis was released around the same time, which was created primarily for Street Fighter II. The game can be played with the original three-button controller, in which the three action buttons are used for attacks (light, medium, and heavy), while the Start button is used to toggle between punches and kicks. Since the start button is being used for playing purposes, the pause function is removed when using a three-button controller.
Special Champion Edition consists of a "Champion" mode with Champion Edition rules and a "Hyper" mode with Hyper Fighting rules, similar to the Normal and Turbo modes in the SNES Turbo version. This was the first console version of a Street Fighter II to feature the original opening sequence which depicted two generic martial artists fighting in front of a cheering public (the Japanese version features a white fighter hitting a black opponent, while the overseas versions replaced the black opponent with another white fighter). The ten-stars speed settings in "Hyper" mode, which were only accessible in the SNES version through a cheat code, is available by default in the Genesis and a secret code to adjust the speed setting in "Champion" mode was added as well. Special Champion Edition was also the only home version at the time of its release to feature "simultaneous button cancels".
This version was a bestseller in Japan, the UK In November 1993, Famitsu magazine's Reader Cross Review gave the Dash Plus version of the game a 10 out of 10.
Special Champion Edition was released as a plug'n play system in 2005 as part of the "Play TV Legends" series by Radica. It also included the Genesis version of Ghouls'n Ghosts.
Other releasesEdit
Hyper Fighting is included in Street Fighter Collection 2 (Capcom Generation 5) for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation. The PlayStation port was later included in Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, as well as Capcom Classics Collection: Reloaded for the PlayStation Portable. A stand-alone re-release of Hyper Fighting was also released for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade which features an online versus mode. It was also released for the iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad and Android, along with Street Fighter II and Champion Edition, as part of Capcom Arcade.

Who could possibly resist these ravishing red patent shoes with a heart (we always love a heart) by Minna Parikka? The perfectly beautiful stilettos are available at Tatty Devine boutique, where they cost an ouchy (but worth it) £210, and will make you feel
