HAMILTON, Mass. -- The Hamilton Police Department yesterday suspended its ambulance service, after a state investigation revealed "serious deficiencies" in the medical training records of police officers.
All Hamilton police officers are required to be state-certified as emergency medical technicians. The deficient records raise questions about whether the officers got paid for training they never took and, more importantly, had proper training to respond to medical calls.

I was informed that my boat would not perform well in phrf races . I was wondering then , How fair is the phrf rating ? I am a novice sailor but nothing was mentioned about my sailing ability. I am on a fast learning curve and trying to gather information on all aspects of sailing . I also understand that phrf ratings vary from region to region .
so here are two questions for informed people to educate me with their answers . I highly respect the answers Jeff has given on this BB and would like to hear other opinions as well .
1.... Statement by qualified person ; With all due respect I dont feel your boat (boat x ) would perform well at phrf races. That being stated leads me to believe that the PHRF rating does not accuratly reflect the performance values of BOAT X. Why wouldnt BOAT X be able to compete under the Phrf ratings with BOAT Y.
2......What changes the phrf rating to make it different say from New York region to Florida ?
These questions are not meant to criticize the PHRF system , but to help me better understand it if and when I choose to participate in an event that uses this rating sysyem. Thanks , BAWGY

Broadcast area | United States, Canada |
First air date | 2006-03-14 |
Format | Adult Entertainment |
Owner | Playboy Enterprises |
Website | Playboy Radio |
Playboy Radio is an Internet radio station. Playboy Radio was originally launched on XM Satellite Radio in September 2002. Included were programs such as Night Calls Radio originally hosted by adult film star Juli Ashton and Playboy TV star Tiffany Granath and Playboy's Sexcetera with reporter Kira Reed. Hall of Fame porn star Christy Canyon was brought in as a replacement when Ashton left to pursue other ventures in April/May 2005. The channel also featured programs such as Playboy TV's Sex Court, The Weekend Flash and Sexy Stories. It was XM's first premium station — offered à la carte on top of the base XM subscription price. Playboy Radio gained a healthy following, including a dedicated group of Night Calls fans that established a strong online presence, although many complained the station offered too little content for the monthly price.
On August 20, 2005, the XM Radio website informed customers that as of September 1, 2005, XM would no longer offer the Playboy Radio channel. The removal of Playboy Radio brought the end of XM's premium stations as High Voltage was made available free of charge to all subscribers earlier in the year.
In January 2006, XM's competitor Sirius Satellite Radio announced they were picking up Playboy Radio and would be offering more content than the XM days. Playboy Radio debuted on Sirius Satellite Radio in March 2006 on channel 198. Unlike on XM, Playboy Radio was free of charge on Sirius, though subscribers could "opt-in" to receive the stream of the channel. It moved to channel 102 on both services on May 4, 2011.[1][2]
Following the Sirius / XM merger, Playboy Radio returned to XM on September 30, 2008 as part of its "Best of Sirius" package and broadcast on channel 99. In 2010, the Playmate Club radio show launched, featuring Patrice Hollis and DJ Colleen Shannon.
On March 9th, 2013, Kevin Klein and Andrea Lowell announced on the Playboy Morning Show that Playboy will no longer be featured on SiriusXM and instead will become available via an online site, http://www.playboyradio.com. Five days later, on March 14th, 2013, SiriusXM discontinued the channel.[citation needed]
Since leaving the satellite radio networks, Playboy Radio has expanded its content to add over a dozen new shows. It remains advertising free and broadcasts 24 hours a day via their Web site.
Current Shows[edit]
Currently, Playboy radio offers many shows, among them:
- The Playboy Morning Show, billed as "an audio version of Playboy and featuring segments by the magazine's founder and editor-in-chief Hugh Hefner
- Swing with Holli and Michael, a show on the swinger lifestyle
- Mansion Mayhem, with Brian Olea (of The Girls Next Door fame) and Playboy Playmate of the Year 2013 Raquel Pomplun. Former hosts include Pilar Lastra.
- Sexy Beast with Andrea Lowell, dedicated to health, fitness, and sexiness
- The Panic Switch, a show on extreme sports hosted by Charis B.
- The Real Ally Show, a dark humor show on lesbians
- Sexperts, a show about sex research
- Under Cover, hosted by Suzy McCoppin
- ForPlay, a video game industry news and review podcast hosted by YouTube personality AngelikMayhem
- The Playboy Radio Interview, a digital version of the interview found in the magazine
- Playboy's Playbook, a show on gear and gadgets

All Critics (292) | Top Critics (47) | Fresh (243) | Rotten (49) | DVD (21)
Avatar showed me something I have never seen before. It reminded me of what movies can do, of what they're capable of, of what the experience of sitting down for three hours in a dark room can really mean.
Cameron's $300 million baby is nothing but a 5- and 10-cent snore.
This sci-fi epic would be a masterpiece if judged solely on its technical merits.
Cameron is flexing his creative muscles, but the film never overcomes the nagging feeling that he's also simply going through the motions.
Piercing the hype, Avatar may not be a "game changer", but I'll be damned if the game didn't just get a hell of a lot more interesting from here on in.
While it wasn't the most original narrative, it serves the film well, even if it was merely a template for Cameron to show us this gorgeous world and its landscapes.
Planet Pandora's plant and animal life is done with a wonder that has been often absent from fiction screens.
It's both wildly original and hauntingly familiar, like Dances With Wolves in a galaxy far, far away.
It is far too long and the romance is half-hearted. Still, you'd have to travel very far to feel so fully immersed in another world.
It's good. It should have been better.
It may not change the world, but it'll certainly provide enjoyment to many millions of people all over it.
As a fantasy epic, Avatar is an undeniable victory ... but outside of the narrow confines of immersion he's managed, it's also quite limited.
The nature scenes are nothing short of magical in this film.
Spiritually moving, visually daring and emotionally stirring, Avatar is classic storytelling at its very best.
"Avatar" looks amazing on Blu-ray. If the plot wasn't so pedestrian, it could have been a great film. Paul Chambers, CNN.
If you ever wondered what a live-action Hayao Miyazaki film would look like, Avatar is a damn good approximation.
You can feel Cameron's anger and his passion every time a Na'vi roars. The most exhilarating moments are those when you can feel the director urging his actors to let go completely, to become furious, and to unleash hell.
For all the justifiable knocks on James Cameron's writing, his personal investment in any project is never in doubt. With "Avatar," his passion for pushing the very possibilities of film as a medium pays off. Here's hoping we see him again before 2021.
Avatar is a joyous celebration of story craft and the visual possibilities of cinema. Cameron had set his sights on taking the technology of film where no one had gone before. And he delivers. Avatar is stunning. Cameron and Peter Jackson's Weta Digital h
If cinema is pure escapism, then Avatar provides the ultimate journey to a world unlike anything seen before it, with a deep spiritual core giving substance to its most impressive display of style.
Audience Reviews for Avatar
Visually stunning , amazing on the IMAX 3d screen. As many have said the story isnt anything new but it does not have to be. This was an incredible feast for the eyes. If your going to spend 400 million on a movie this is the way to do it.
MoreSuper Reviewer
many of the things that i loved about this film are the exact things that caused my discontent. to begin with, much of the visuals were obviously astounding. the design of the planet, as well as the design of the plant and animal life and the vehicles used by the humans were incredibly impressive. cameron also used color very well. on the other hand, the computer generated characters were far too cartoonish, and the real life characters and computer generated ones didnt blend together quite as well as i had hoped for considering how advanced this film was supposed to be. i would have much rather preferred costumes and make up than the cartoonish look the film had. while the planet looked impressive, david lean made more visually stunning films using actual landscapes rather than artificial ones. the story also had its up and down points. on the one hand the story was engaging enough that even after 160 minutes i could have kept watching if the film were longer. on the other hand, the dialogue was very weak, most elements of the story were completely recycled and unoriginal, and the main antagonist of the film was as cheesy of a villain as we could have received. he was basically a caricature of the villains of the corn ball action flicks of the 80's. the film also relied too much on the demonization of humanity in order to serve its agenda. cameron left the entire human race completely underdeveloped, allowing no conviction to the masses of people on pandora who were far too willing to slaughter innocent natives, and he unfortunately left us completely in the dark as to what earth or contemporary humanity looked like. finally, the film uses a macguffin in the form of "unobtainian", which is a stupid name for the mineral, that is more of a plot hole than a point of interest. its more entertaining than it is interesting and is not without some pretty massive flaws.
MoreSuper Reviewer
James Cameron develops a visionary tale enthralled by its monumental special effects. Avatar is that first step into groundbreaking futuristic CGi and special effects that takes the world by storm. The film's plot and story is acceptable though could be questioning and subliminal, but once again it's the film's dynamic special effects that shrouds its faults. 4.5/5
MoreSuper Reviewer
Ambitious and well-produced, Avatar features state-of-the-arts effects, but also features less-than-appealing writing/acting.

- Jake Sully:
- It's over Quaritch!

- Jake Sully:
- I kinda hoped you'd say that.
- Col. Miles Quaritch:
- Everyone on this base, every one of you, is fighting for survival, and that's a fact. There's an aboriginal horde out there massing for an attack. These orbital images tell me that the hostile numbers have gone from a few hundred to well over two thousand in one day. And more are pourin' in. In a week's time, there could be 20,000 of 'em. At that point they will overrun our perimeter. That's not gonna happen. Our only security lies in preemptive attack. We will fight terror with terror. The hostiles believe that this mountain territory is protected by their... deity. And when we destroy it, we will blast a crater in their racial memory so deep, that they won't come within 1,000 klicks of this place ever again. And that too, is a fact.

Apr 29th 2008 10:27AM The first time I played WoW was back during its stress test. My problem? I'd started as a priest. I got to level 11 and into Westfall and determined the game wasn't for me.
I didn't try it again until a couple weeks before 2.0 changed everything in late 2006 and found out about the game's pet class, the hunter. She turned out to be my first (of two) 70s, after reaching 60 after I got my copy of Burning Crusade.

a) I can do massive DPS with little concern for threat thanks to Feign Death.
b) I can get any mob onto any tank with a hefty threat lead thanks to Misdirection.
c) I can DPS multiple mobs rather heavily at the same time thanks to my pet.
d) I can still hammer mobs when my mana is running out.

Content we're still working on remains scheduled and uses the guild DKP and loot rules.

Secret country
To get to a secret country, enter Liotto, then exit/ From there, go two steps left, six steps down, one step left, three steps down, four steps left, one step down, five steps left and one step up. You will reach a stopover with a bird. Talk to it and it will take you there. Alternately, enter the stopover and then exit. Then, go one step left and two steps down to reach a destroyed town with useful items.
Please note: The following portion of the Strategy is incorrect:
You'll land in the castle's dungeon. As soon as you get up, a group of 4 monsters in pink dresses will surround you. They mumble some sort of chant, and they stay an equal distance from you while they're spinning around your head. But once they stop spinning you can hit them. Three of the monsters are fake and the real one is usually the northern monster.
If you listen to the chant: "round, round, round we go, the watcher's in the bush we go round...", the last line will be "who's in the eyes of the one behind". This is a clue to find the correct doll, which will be the one to the back of Ark. So, if Ark is facing left at the end of the chant, the true doll will be the one on the right. If Ark faces forward at the end of the chant (the way he wakes up in the cell), then the right doll will be the top one as indicated in the Strategy.

Refurbished in a major way from the 'very old' motel it was and it is, clean, has a good staff, and an excellent breakfast. The reason why I did not answer the location question is that in Decherd/Winchester TN,the question is irrelevant!
Such a major refurb change. Good job.
The service by the staff was outstanding!
Would like to have had a sofa in the room.No decaf coffee in the breakfast room.
The room was very clean. Breakfast was very good, also.
Room was clean, staff was friendly and helpful, and housekeeping did a great job. Enjoyed my stay!
Bathroom ceiling had cracks and was peeling off some.
The staff was very friendly and the location was in easy access to the heart of tullahoma
The room was dated and clean but not spotless
The woman at the counter was nice and gave us most of the money back
It was 90 degrees in the room and the carpets were dirty, the picture above the bed had fallen onto the bed when we walked in the room. We left after an hour to find a new hotel.
Good Location Reasonable price.
The sign is so small and unlit. Hard to find in the dark. Clean, but the carpet needs replacing.
nothing but the price!
lots, no coffee available anywhere, staff could hardly speak english,porr represntation of motel from photos. place is a dive!!!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was adequately clean. Very quiet.
Yes Saw a couple of bugs in the bathroom
Absolutely nothing!
The room was dingy and smelled dirty. The staff showed me another 'non-smoking' room that smelled even worse. Hotel staff was unable or unwilling to provide refund. I left this hotel and checked into the Holiday Inn Express nearby.
Awesome pillows
Coffee was awful
Clean upscale look great free breakfast!
Location from interstate
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Mankind is unique in many ways. Not least is the act of giving to others. In the animal kingdom, we seldom see such sharing, except among crows. But we have witnessed selfless giving on the part of many persons. Sharing must first have begun with a sharing of food, for food is the most fundamental of a man's needs. In course of time, as man's needs went beyond mere food and shelter, the act of giving embraced other things too. Tamil literature celebrates the act of giving, Malayaman said in a discourse. Yet we fight shy of sharing our wealth with others, forgetting that such a lack of generosity deprives us of a unique human quality: the desire to give generously.
Although providing food to the hungry is extolled as the foremost among good deeds, meeting the needs of others in other ways too has come in for praise in literature. Providing water to the thirsty, grass for a cow and oil to the poor for bathing are also considered acts worthy of emulation. There is a verse in the Tamil work Siru Panchamoolam, which metaphorises the act of giving. Sweet words are the field in which cultivation takes place, the verse says. Generosity is the seed sown. Cruel words are the weeds that have to be removed. Truthfulness is the manure that fertilises the field. Love is the water that irrigates the field. And what is the crop that comes out of this field? Dharmic deeds are the crops that are harvested in such a field. The Siru Panchamoolam further says he who has the quality of mercy alone is likely to be generous.
Thirukkural says that whenever an opportunity presents itself, we must give to others. For those who are unable to give every day or every month, the Tamil work Achara Kovai has a suggestion. It says at least on five special occasions, they must give to others — during weddings, when we worship our ancestors, when God is worshipped on festival days and when yagas are performed. Yet, despite all this advice, we may still wonder what there is in all this for us. Thiruvalluvar has an answer. He says the act of giving gives great joy to the one who gives. Naladiyar says a man's possessions are left behind when he dies, but his good deeds accompany him beyond the grave.

Another quick one for the day – for a frequent query – what is the difference between GDR, QFE and other release terms.
For all such queries I redirect my customers to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935897 - a nice article on Incremental Servicing Model (ISM).
· GDRs (General distribution release) are new means of providing support. GDR fixes are reserved for those issues identified by SQL Server support as important enough to install on every instance of SQL Server.
· QFEs are used for the majority of fixes where the effects of the problem are not widespread or severe enough to warrant a GDR.
Quick notes:
· GDRs and QFEs are associated with build numbers.
· Build numbers 3043 through 3149 are reserved for GDR releases.
· Build numbers 3150+ are reserved for QFEs.
· By reserving lower build numbers for GDR releases, users can continue to take advantage of GDR fixes, without having to install QFEs, which aggregate all the fixes shipped since the most recent service pack.
· Once a QFE is installed, GDRs will no longer update your system, because the build number is too low, and you have to install QFEs to pick up new fixes.
PingBack from http://bardissi.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/watchguard-three-important-windows-security-bulletins-one-affects-sql-server/
Nice article, this clarifies the difference between GDR vs QFE clearly.
thanks for the explaination. So the build pattern looks like this?
SPXX-->GDR reserved build range-->QFE reserved build range-->next SPXX-->.......

Cherries: Marcus is backing Bradders' bid
FORMER Cherries and Huddersfield star Marcus Browning is throwing his weight firmly behind the Dean Court club as the play-off combatants prepare for battle. The Cherries old boy insists he has no divided loyalties and is backing the Dorset outfit's Championship quest ahead of tomorrow's semi-final, first leg showdown (12.45pm). Browning starred when Cherries earned promotion with a win over Lincoln at the Millennium Stadium eight years ago. His career also included two years with Huddersfield, who paid £500,000 for the midfielder when they signed him from Bristol Rovers in 1997. Browning enjoyed his time with the Terriers, despite being plagued by injuries, and said Huddersfield was a fantastic club to play for. But the Cherries youth coach is hoping Lee Bradbury's men can progress. The 40-year-old, who will be in attendance at the first leg, told the Echo: I live in Bournemouth and I work training the scholars, and I am training the under-14s as well. I want Bournemouth to win and go through to Old Trafford. It would be fantastic for the club. Huddersfield are favourites but Browning believes the underdog tag could benefit Cherries. He added: Bournemouth are used to being the underdogs. The pressure will be on Huddersfield and nobody will expect Bournemouth to beat them over two legs. Why not go and prove everyone wrong Browning, a former Wales international, recently announced his retirement following a brief stint in the Wessex League with Poole Town.

Kent State's College of EHHS Offers 11-Day Group Trip to Morocco
Posted Sep, 8, 2010'The Many Faces of Morocco' trip reconnects Kent State with former international scholars
Kent State University reunites with six former international scholars during an escorted group vacation to Morocco from Oct. 30 to Nov. 9, 2010. The Moroccan scholars are secondary school teachers who have spent one semester at Kent State as part of a Fulbright program. They will be part of the person-to-person aspect that enriches Kent State's TRAVEL2KNOW tour programs. In addition to the expert tour guide, these six educators will provide a personal touch to the program.
Morocco historically conjures up images of ancient walled cities, desert-crossing camel caravans, Arab sultans, Berber Tribesmen and mud-walled Kasbahs shaded by tall date palms. The Morocco of today can deliver these images and much more, including beautiful coastal areas of Casablanca, the heights of the Atlas Mountains, the majestic Sahara sand dunes and the bustling cities. But more importantly, the six Moroccan locals will be a continuous connection for the travelers on this program – e-mails and Skype contact before, during and after the trip, and each traveler will be able to correspond with students in the schools of these six scholars.
This trip package includes roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, daily breakfast and dinner, airport transfers, English-speaking professional tour guides, Sahara Desert and Volubilis excursions, entrance fees to historical sites, baggage handling, and tips for guides and driver.
For more information about this trip or other trips offered by Kent State's College of Education, Health and Human Services, please contact Dr. Linda Robertson, the university's director of the Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education, at 330-672-0563 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I quit drinking about five weeks ago, after drinking a lot for about eight years, I am a 61 year old female. I know it's crazy. but I started drinking in my early 50s.
I was really, really tired for about four weeks and had a hard time even functioning. I thought I was going to die. Also, ever since then, I've had really bad short term memory loss. Other than that, I have no other neurological complaints. Does anyone have any idea what's going on with me?

Crossgates Commons is a large shopping plaza in Albany, New York. It is owned by The Pyramid Company, but may be sold in the near future.[1] Crossgates Commons is located on Washington Avenue Extension and is roughly across the street from Crossgates Mall, which is also managed by Pyramid. The shopping center has a split-level design with stores on the upper level accessible from the front and stores on the lower level accessible from the rear. It opened in 1994 and has 1,300,000 square feet (120,000 m2) of retail space. Although Crossgates Commons is relatively young, it has already undergone an expansion, and some locations have had high turnover rates.
When the shopping center first opened in 1994, it had six original tenants: Walmart (then branded as Wal-Mart), Sam's Club, Home Depot, Media Play, Old Navy, and MJ Designs.
The Walmart located at Crossgates Commons became the largest Walmart in the United States (and the largest outside of China) in 2008, when it expanded into a Walmart Supercenter, now occupying 260,000 square feet (24,000 m2) over two floors.[2]

Prior to opening this lesson, cut multiple pieces of yarn for each student in the class.
In opening this lesson, have available various types of shapes pictured on Crayola® Construction Paper. Ask students to trace the shapes one at a time, with all students in the class tracing the same figure together. For example, the first shape students may trace with their fingers could be a square. As they do so, ask them to describe what happens to the create the shape.
Distribute yarn pieces to students. Ask them to select one piece and experiment with it by attempting to create different shapes. Students may use the construction paper models is they choose to do so. Provide time in the lesson for students to discuss what they are doing with the yard to create the shapes.
Once students have attempted to make all reviewed shapes on the construction paper models, invite them to tour their classroom and find similar shapes in this environment. What do they find? Have them identify an object, identify the type of shape, and talk about the characteristics of that shape.
Provide students with a blank piece of construction paper. Have them self-select a shape to draw using Crayola Crayons. Encourage students to use a majority of the paper for their shape drawings. Use Crayola School Glue to glue a piece of yarn to the shape. Allow to dry overnight.
Once the glue has dried, have students write their names on the construction paper that contains their self-selected shapes. If appropriate, have students also write the name of the shapes created.
Let's make something!
What do two things have in common? Select two cards and decide if they are alike.

Optimist's Shakespeare: Try it, you'll like it
Two weeks ago, director Tom Reed had fully intended to make another round of cuts to Shakespeare's "As You Like It" — slimming the run time to just over two hours — before Optimist Theatre opened its production in Riverwest's Kadish Park. Am I ever glad that he had second thoughts.

Cephea cephea, sometimes called the Crown Jellyfish, (although this name is confusing as it is also used for other species) is a "true jellyfish" (Class Scyphozoa) in the small family Cephidae. It is one of three species in its genus, all found in the Indo-Pacific and East Atlantic. Cephea cephea occassionaly drifts inshore but is mostly oceanic, broadly distributed in waters from the mid-Pacific through the Indo-Pacific to the Red Sea, and in the Atlantic off West Africa. It is a large jellyfish, reaching 50-60 cm in diameter, with multiple wart-like projections on top of the central mound of its bell, which is surrounded by a moat. The thin frilled skirt around the crown is used for swimming. Its main body is blue-purple, its eight oral arms are brown and highly divided into a large, curly-looking surface area resembling a cauliflower (hence this jellyfish's other common name, Cauliflower Jellyfish). Multiple long colorless filaments with stinging cells for capturing prey trail behind as it swims. Sugiura (1965) studied the life history of Cephea cephea in detail from planulae larvae collected from the oral system of females caught off Japan, reporting that this species reproduces frequently by budding of the scyphistome, while strobilation is monodisc, producing only one medusa from each scyphistome polyp. Cephea cephea has since been cultured from polyps to adulthood at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. The Cauliflower Jellyfish is targeted by the jellyfish fishing industry, especially during large blooms, and commonly and historically eaten as a delicacy or for medicinal purposes in China and Japan, along with multiple other species from its order, Rhizostomeae. There are records of sea turtles preying upon these jellyfish (e.g. Patry 2012).

Writing about Diversity on the Desktop
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Writing about the Linux desktop used to be simple. I wrote about GNOME and KDE, and, if I really wanted to be complete, I mentioned Xfce. Very occasionally, I might mention a few window managers. But those simple ways were lost in the fragmentation of GNOME over the last three years, and now writing about the desktop is vastly more complicated than it used to be.
Today, the number of desktop environments with significant market shares has tripled. To do a thorough job, I can no longer talk about just GNOME and KDE. At a minimum, I also need to talk about Cinnamon, Mate, Unity and Xfce -- and I'm not sure I shouldn't add LXDE and maybe a handful of others to the list.
From a user's perspective, so many choices are welcome, although possibly a little overwhelming. However, from a writer's perspective, the number of choices is nothing short of a nightmare, the type I wake from with an over-all cramp and sweat drenching the pillow. To be relevant, I want to mention all the environments that people are using, but how do I do all of them justice at the same time?
A comparative problem
Part of the problem is the amount of space. Many articles are 1000 words or less -- maybe twice that if I am lucky. Minus space for an introduction and conclusion, writing an article of typical length about KDE or GNOME means that I have about 350 words to write about each. By contrast, if I try to include all the major desktops today, each gets less than 120 words, which is so short that superficiality is guaranteed.
It gets worse, too. If I talk about more than one desktop environment in an article, I usually intend to compare them. But when I already lack space to describe each one, how can I possibly start to compare each environment to each? With two desktops, I have two comparisons to make. But with six desktops, I have an unwieldy fifteen (figure it out for yourself), and writing is constantly threatening to bog down.
But even if I manage a comparison, the techniques of comparison fall apart. Write about each desktop in a continuous passage, and either the article loses coherence, or I reduce my space for discussion by continually referring to each of the other desktop. Organize the article by features, in which I move back and forth between each desktop within each section, and I risk leaving readers (and me) in miserable confusion as I jump around. Either way, I are asking readers to endure more than they expect, and taking on more than I can hope to accomplish.
Looking for solutions
In theory, there are a few ways around these problems. In practice, though, none are consistently satisfactory.
The most obvious is to write longer articles. However, do that all the time, and I disrupt my writing schedule. Nor will print editors necessarily welcome greater lengths, since they need to balance carefully the ratio of pages devoted to articles and to ads. Even an online editor may not welcome longer articles, which disrupt their work schedule as much as the writer's.
A more promising solution is to limit Ir subject matter. For example, I can limit my discussion to GNOME derivatives, which means that I only need to talk about Cinnamon, GNOME, Mate, and Unity. Or if I are talking about GNOME 2 replacements, I can talk about only Cinnamon, GNOME Classic, and Mate. But sometimes I do want to talk about all the alternatives, and not just a sub-set.
Alternatively, I can narrow my focus to a single aspect of desktop environments, such as virtual workspaces or menus. But attempting this solution means that I risk descending to irredeemable triviality.
Still another solution is forget about comparisons altogether, and talk about each desktop environment only in isolation. The trouble is, people often do want comparisons, and personally I would hate to abandon them just because they hae become more difficult.
I've tried all these solutions, each with varying degrees of success. But even the times that I've been most successful, I work harder than I did four years ago to get the same result.
Don't get me wrong -- I like the increased choices as a user, and as a writer I'm committed to trying to do it justice. But increasingly I'm getting nostalgic for simpler times.

Auditor in initial phase
At last week's county Board meeting, independent auditor Michael Thompson delivered a brief report on his work since being hired by Tunica County in late October.
Thompson said the audit was in the "scoping" phase. He'd been in contact with county administrator Clifton Johnson and comptroller Lawanda Knighten about needed documents such as organizational charts, budgets, and financial information. He'd also been meeting with various department heads.
Thompson said he anticipated he would have a final work plan ready toward the end of January, provided he was able to get department head meetings scheduled.
District 4 Supervisor Henry Nickson asked if Thompson would be going department to department, reviewing their internal budgets.

Skip Maine state header navigation
Research Team Meeting
Tuesday, October 12, 2004
Cross State Office Building, # 541
ATTENDING: Mary Madden, Sharon Wilson-Barker, Lisa Plimpton, Rick Kent, Patrick Phillips, Michael Montagna, Susan Corrente
WELCOME: Patrick welcomed the Team members.
REVIEW OF PROPOSAL #1 FOR YOUTH INVOLVEMENT; DISCUSSION; FORMULATION OF FINAL PROPOSAL: Susan noted that Mary had shared with the Team, by email, three proposals for how best to incorporate youth voice into this work and that proposal #1 was favored by all who responded; Lyn had also asked if we could add our focus groups after the work was done with Allan Johnson and noted that it would be important to identify which students we were hearing from, if we were to follow proposal #1. After a general discussion, the following proposal was developed to share with the full Task Force at the October 14, 2004 meeting:
October 27, 2004, at UMO -- Professor Allan Johnson will meet with 4-5 teams of student leaders (7-8 students/team - mostly high school students) that will be brought by school leaders as a follow-up to a conference they (as part of the Maine School Leadership Network) had with Professor Johnson on September 30, 2004 on privilege and difference.
9:30 - 11:30 Student groups meet with Professor Johnson on privilege; discussion will include a gender lens.
11:30 Lunch provided to students
12:00 - 1:30 STEP ONE: Focus groups conducted by members of the Research Team, following a standardized protocol with uniform questions:
- Research Question 4 - learning styles/classroom strategies;
- Research Question 5 - early developmental experiences;
- Research Question 6 - school climate;
- Research Question 7 - adult influences in learning/development, and differences between male/female influences;
- Research Question 8 - social constructs of gender, class, race, ethnicity, etc. with an emphasis on social class here in Maine, rather than race;
- Research Question 9 - social institutions; and
- Other - what do you think are the most important challenges facing girls/boys today?")
STEP TWO: Research Team members select 2-3 schools at which to follow up with action steps at the schools, led by the student leaders but including a more diverse group of students; include general feedback without violating the confidentiality of the group discussions/individual contributions.
STEP THREE: Research Team members report data back to Mary, according to uniform protocol, for Report.
SCHEDULE FOR REVIEW OF DRAFT SECTIONS OF TASK FORCE REPORT: Susan noted that the updated "Schedule to Date" that was sent electronically to all Task Force members, with Task Force meetings scheduled through May reflects the general schedule for review of draft sections of the Report, first by the Research Team and then by the full Task Force; however, the schedule for review of drafts will remain somewhat fluid to allow for any additional time needed on any of the various sections of the Report. Mary discussed her planning/approach to the Report, so far. She had thought she would start with Section II (The School Experience) but soon realized it would be more logical to begin with Section I (The Call to Action) in order to tailor the research summary/findings/recommendations to the problems identified in Maine as the ones to be addressed. Section III (The Social Environment) will include both social institutions and the family environment; and Section IV (Policy and Practice) will include model programs/practices in Maine, if identified in the course of the research. Mary noted that members of the Team, many of whom had already given presentations to the Task Force, all will have information to supply for various sections of the Report. Mary will share outlines with the Research Team members as a way of soliciting related material from Research Team members, and will followup with individual members as needed; she will then share drafts of the Report with Research Team members for feedback prior to sharing them with the full Task Force. She would be interested in additional data on opportunities presented to students of each gender who will not be pursuing a college education but are in career/technical education (CTE) programs in Maine, and in the community college system. The December meeting's presentation (by John Stivers and Yvonne Davis of the CTE program in the Department of Education) will provide some of that data. There was also some general discussion about following up with the Search Institute for their gender analysis of Maine data gathered at schools that have completed the Search Institute's inventory of assets; and general agreement that a presentation by Lyn Brown and/or Mark Tappan on any gender findings in the use of the inventory would be very helpful. [Follow-up: Patrick and Susan will contact John Fitzsimmons of the Community College System, and Jobs for Maine's Graduates (JMG), to ask John again to be part of the December presentation and to see what data/presentation may be available from JMG. Susan will follow-up with Lyn on a presentation by Lyn and/or Mark. Susan followed up on the Search Institute analysis - it would require permission to pool data from the Maine schools that have completed the inventory, and an agreement with the Search Institute to do the analysis; moreover, the Search Institute's researcher predicts that Maine data will reflect the same trends as the national data reflect and that data is available in the books they have provided. Thus, the Department will not be requesting the analysis by the Search Institute.]
SCHEDULE OF UPCOMING MEETINGS OF RESEARCH TEAM: The Team set the following dates/times for meetings through April, which will be shared with the other Team members by way of the emailed minutes of this meeting:
November 15, 2004 12 Noon - 2 PM (tentative; to be confirmed; if held at this day/time, lunch provided) Cross Building, # 500
December 15, 2004 2-4 PM, Cross Building, #500
January 18, 2005 2-4 PM, Cross Building, #500
February 15, 2005 2-4 PM, Cross Building, #500
March 14, 2005 2-4 PM, Cross Building, #500
April 25, 2005 2-4 PM, Cross Building, #500
Susan noted that the presentation from the Suicide Prevention Program, to the Research Team, was rescheduled from today to November's meeting, as they were just collecting their data at the time of this meeting and recommended that a presentation in November, once data had been collected/analyzed, would be more helpful to us. Mary noted that they would be presenting with the CDC on their finding during the week of November 8 - 11, 2004. [ Mary has emailed the invitation she received re: the presentation with the CDC on the findings in the Midcoast area to Patrick and Susan for forwarding to members of the Task Force in case any members want to attend that presentation. Susan will let Cheryl DiCara and Sue O'Halloran know of the date of our November meeting.]
NEXT STEPS: The Team had a general discussion on how to begin to think about framing the conversation about "best practices", once they have been identified. Rich noted that Promising Futures is an excellent tool that could be used more widely than it is currently being used; Lisa agreed that some schools use it and others don't but that there are some schools working with the Mitchell Institute that would be good sources of best practices. She also noted that an update that deals specifically with rigor/instruction should be available this Winter/Spring. Patrick noted that Promising Futures is used by the Department in a number of ways and in relation to a number of initiatives, and agreed it would be an important link between the work of this Task Force and other work/reforms underway. He also recommended that we consider focusing our recommendations having to do with gender equity around key components of the Search Institute's Assets Inventory - another quantity that is known/used by schools. Rich also recommended that we incorporate the Commissioner's recent call for heterogeneous groupings in classrooms as a springboard for our conversation about best practices to ensure gender equity in education. All agreed that we should start these conversations with the full Task Force starting in January.
Michael indicated that the Department of Labor is updating some of the data that Michael presented to the Task Force this summer. Patrick noted that it would be particularly helpful to see the links between employment and post-secondary experience, and the gender implications of the jobs of the future in Maine. A presentation on this by John Dorer of the Department of Labor would be helpful, in tandem with additional data from Michael, if a team approach would be informative. [Follow-up - Michael will contact John to discuss this, and he will ask John Dorer if he would be willing to present to the Task Force in January or February.]
Patrick recommended that it wasn't too early to think about the rollout of the report - perhaps a Blaine House conference with a large, representative audience drawn from education, business and other interested parties, with an important speaker such as Iannis Mialis, Executive Director of the Boston Museum of Science (on making engineering accessible), and student participation and a demonstration of model practices/programs. Susan noted that if the final draft of the full Report went to the Task Force in June, design, printing and publication would take several weeks so a rollout for the beginning of school would make sense. Sharon recommended that early August was actually a better time to capture the attention of educators, when they had rested from the previous school year and weren't yet caught up in the next one. Others agreed and noted that several summer conferences may be opportunities to set up an information table or even share the draft Report: the Superintendents' Conference in June, 2005; the summer 2005 academies for the Center of Inquiry for Secondary Education and for the Great Maine Schools project; the summer 2005 conference for literacy teachers that Rich will host for 400 - 600 teachers; and the Middle Level Institute in July, 2005. The Team agreed to start thinking about how best to make use of these forums to share our work.

Anchorage may soon have one less golf course. A study began more than a year ago by Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and 673d Air Base Wing commander determined that base's golf programs may have excess capacity.
In the world of high school sports, it is as much personality as it is athleticism that dictates which seniors will be scooped up by universities vying for fresh talent. It is no surprise the upbeat, buoyant personality of soccer talent Tristyn Hall has been approached by several universities in the past year.
Good news. The folks over at the Chugiak-Eagle River Senior Center will soon be able to resume their exercise regimes when the new treadmill arrives. According to Monika Dahlberg, the center's business development and operations director, the old treadmill was officially taken out of service last week.
Hometown rivals Chugiak Mustangs faced off against Eagle River Wolves at the Eagle River High School gym Feb. 20. A large crowd turned out to cheer both teams. First up, the Mustang girls out-shot the Wolves 56-36.
It appeared to be over. With less than a minute and a half left in the Alaska School Activities Association First National Cup semi-final state championship game at the Menard Sports Complex in Wasilla, the Soldotna Stars led the Chugiak Mustangs 1-0.

Wings Rejected in Free Agency, Still Optimism for next Season
The Detroit Red Wings were rejected at the start of free agency on July 1, 2014. The team went after four different players that ended up elsewhere for a variety of different reasons.
At the beginning of free agency, general manager Ken Holland understood that he needed to acquire a middle-tier winger along with a top-tier right-handed defender, but the Wings came out empty handed.
Octopi Hockeytown NHL Mock Draft
The Detroit Red Wings will have the No. 15 pick overall in the 2014 NHL Draft on Friday, June 27 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
The first round will take place Friday and then rounds 2-7 will be hosted throughout the day on Saturday.
Since the Red Wings drafted Martin LaPointe at No. 10 overall in the 1991 NHL Draft, they have not had a higher draft pick than they do this year. At No. 15, the Wings have options to fill holes at the center position, winger position or the blue line.
Detroit Red Wings Trade Deadline Special
With the NHL trade deadline a little over a week away, the Detroit Red Wings' front office should expect to be among the most active teams at the deadline. Now that team captain has had surgery on a serious back injury, Detroit will be looking for more leadership and experience as they prepare for a playoff push.
The Red Wings currently sit in eighth position in the Eastern Conference, but teams like Columbus, Ottawa and Washington are just a single point behind that coveted final playoff spot.

A brilliant effort, the 2001 Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard is tightly-knit, but full-bodied and powerful, with an oily texture buttressed by considerable acidity. Citrus oil, buttered tropical fruit, mineral, and roasted nut characteristics are present in this gorgeous offering. Full-bodied, pure yet well-structured, this terrific effort will drink well for 5-8 years. (12/ 2003)
Less bright yellow than the Hudson. Reticent, pure aromas of minerals, menthol and truffle. Concentrated, precise, minerally and tactile, but still tightly wound. Very juicy, dry and sharply delineated chardonnay, finishing quite long and a bit austere. Offers terrific potential. From very poor soils, notes Kistler, who says the structure of this wine resembles that of the McCrea. (6/ 2004)

Belfast City Council row over corporals' murders commemoration
The DUP and Alliance have clashed at Belfast City Council over a motion marking the 25th anniversary of the murders of two British soldiers.
Corporals Derek Wood and David Howes were dragged out of a car and killed after they drove into an IRA funeral in west Belfast in 1988.
The DUP motion recognised what it called the bravery and restraint of the soldiers.
Alliance proposed an amendment condemning all murders in the Troubles.
The amended wording was suggested by Alliance Councillor Mervyn Jones, who said he believed the council needed to take "a holistic approach which can get agreement from all sides instead of looking at individual incidents".
Mr Jones said his party wanted to move away from a constant blame culture and claimed the DUP motion was part of a campaign to ratchet up tensions at Belfast City Council.
Some observers at Belfast City Hall would say this row is rooted in electoral tensions and an attempt by unionists to reinforce their message to voters that there is a difference between Alliance and traditional unionism.
The Alliance Party, particularly in east Belfast, is competing for unionist votes.
The DUP, having lost a Westminster seat to Alliance, is determined to see off competition.
That's politics.
So, is the DUP looking for touchstone issues such as flags and victims that will have resonance with unionist voters?
I think we know what Alliance would say to that.
However, the DUP's Christopher Stalford accused Alliance of having "lost its moral compass".
"The Alliance Party decided to remove completely any reference to the corporals from our motion and proposed a form of words that placed innocent soldiers on the same level as terrorists," Mr Stalford said.
The murders of the two soldiers were among some of the most notorious and disturbing attacks during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, particularly because of the presence of TV cameras which recorded their abduction.
'Bland words'Footage of the corporals being dragged out of their car and beaten by a crowd was shown around the world. The men were later stripped and shot dead by the IRA, and their bodies were dumped in waste ground.
In a statement, Mr Stalford said: "Our motion was very simple in its intent. It was designed to show respect for Corporals Wood and Howes, to praise their bravery and restraint in the face of a violent mob and to assure their families that their sacrifice would never be forgotten."
He accused Alliance of choosing instead "to ride to the rescue of Sinn Fein by tabling a bland form of words as an amendment".
However, Mr Jones said that he had condemned the murders of the two soldiers in his speech but added that a motion condemning all murders "would help us move forward us a society".
'Progress'"With many anniversaries coming up in the next couple of years, I believe it is important for the council to have direction in how we deal with the past by condemning violence from all quarters.
"If we are to work towards a shared society then we must have an agreed comprehensive method of dealing with the past, instead of concentrating on specific cases.
"We could have motions each month that brought up every incident which would not lead to progress in how we deal with the past," Mr Jones said.
