The Sunshine Within
On bleak days, with leaden skies,
when you don't know where to begin.
Your head hurts and your heart cries,
look for the sunshine within.
After dark dreams of panic and fear,
when you almost break, almost give in.
All hope smashed, dreams far from here,
look for the sunshine within.
On foul days, with no rest in sight,
and you cannot force a grin.
Remember be calm, it will be alright,
you have the sunshine within.

The Fugitive (1993)
11 questions
Directed by: Andrew Davis
Starring: Harrison Ford, Joe Pantoliano, Julianne Moore, Sela Ward, Tommy Lee Jones
Question: In real life, when are cops allowed to shoot people? I find it hard to believe Samuel Gerard would have been allowed to shoot Richard repeatedly in the torso just for running away from him. I know the glass was bulletproof in that scene, but Gerard didn't know that.
Answer: Richard is a convicted murderer on the run. A police officer would be justified in shooting him to prevent him from injuring anyone or taking a hostage.
Question: How does Kimble get the new set of clothes after leaving the "Men Only" hotel (after the St. Patrick's Day parade)? Is this an allusion to some inappropriate activity?
Answer: While it is not specifically shown how he got the clothes, the "inappropriate activity" would likely be that he had stole them. They could also have been donated clothing that was available to those in need.
Question: What does the woman ask her son in Polish? with my limited Russian and Serbo/Croatian skills, I believe she started with, "What do you think..."
Answer: She says: "What do you think? I think he is going like it." (Or "he is going to be satisfied").
Question: Towards the end, before the confrontation with Kimble and Nicholls, the guy who was tracing Kimble's phone records tells the Marshalls that Kimble telephoned Sykes on the night of his wife's murder. But obviously it wasn't Kimble calling Sykes, it was Sykes using Kimble's phone. But why would Sykes be calling himself?
Answer: He didn't. A key plot point is that Nichols borrowed Kimble's car on the night of the murder. The call to Sykes, which is expressly stated by the marshals as being on Kimble's car phone, was from Nichols, presumably arranging to meet so that he could give Sykes Kimble's keys to get into his house to lie in wait for him.
Question: How much time does this movie cover? I ask because when Sykes is being interrogated, he says he was questioned about Helen Kimble's murder a year ago. And Nichols says that Lentz died last summer, but Richard saw him at the fundraiser the same night his wife died. Is this a mistake or is there something I'm missing?
Answer: Murder investigations are not, as a rule, speedy processes; it's quite plausible that a year could have passed between Helen Kimble's murder and her husband's conviction for the crime. The police have to gather evidence, question witnesses, put their case together and so forth. The main body of the film, from Kimble's escape onwards, probably only covers at most a few weeks, but Helen Kimble would undoubtedly have died some considerable time prior to that. The time periods stated in the film are quite reasonable.
Question: Originally, the plan was to kill Richard himself rather than his wife in order to keep him quiet about Provasic causing liver damage. But wouldn't Devlin MacGregor eventually have had to deal with the side effects anyway, especially when the wrongful death lawsuits began pouring in? I know some suspension of disbelief is required, but this still seems like a stretch.
Answer: Not really. If anybody raises a wrongful death lawsuit against them, Devlin MacGregor's high-priced lawyers can just point to their battery of "successful" test results to show that no side-effects occurred during their comprehensive testing. If they then dig deeper into the case, then, lo and behold, it's revealed that the tests were all faked, with the fake results signed off on by Dr Alexander Lentz, who was, rather conveniently, tragically killed in a car accident. It would be easy to cast Lentz as the villain, faking the test results for his own reasons, which gets Devlin MacGregor off the hook. In all probability, the original idea was to frame Kimble for the fraudulent testing - with Kimble killed in a "burglary gone wrong", he could easily be used as a scapegoat. When things went awry and Kimble's wife was killed instead, this gave them the perfect angle to completely discredit Kimble, taking him out of the equation, and they switched to a replacement plan of using Lentz as their scapegoat, forging his signature on the test results and arranging the car accident that killed him.
Question: Again, was the Polish woman's son really a drug dealer? A little piece of me thinks that it could have been a ruse by the Chicago PD to get him in and let Kimble think he was safe for the moment. Or, did he tell the cops that Kimble was living in his mother's basement as leverage to get out of being arrested for drug dealing??
Answer: Why on earth would the Chicago PD leave Kimble to think he was safe if they knew his location? He's a convicted killer - they find him, they grab him, they throw him in prison, end of story. No requirement to lull him into a false sense of security. They busted the Polish woman's son for drug dealing - he turned Kimble in to try to buy some leniency.
Question: At one point, Kimble steals an ambulance. We then cut to the U.S Marshals, who say "An ambulance has been spotted...". They then run off to intercept it. But surely there's more than one ambulance in that area, and surely more than one person has seen an ambulance in that time?
Answer: True, but if they cannot contact this one or it is seen driving eratically or out of it's designated area, that is sufficent to cause suspicion.
Question: When Kimball's dying wife calls 999, why does she say "Richard is trying to kill me?"
Answer: She said "Richard, he's trying to kill me" refering to the one armed man. It sounded like "Richard is trying to kill me".
Question: Why don't the US Marshalls also go after the other escaped prisoner that was on the bus? He was the one who helped Harrison Ford escape and told him not to follow him. Why wasn't it as important that he be caught too?
Answer: He's the one whose house they storm (he gets shot).
Question: At the very end, what was in the plastic bag that Tommy Lee Jones' character gives to Harrison Ford?
Answer: It's a cold compress. You squeeze it, and the inner bag breaks mixing chemicals and it gets very cold. It helps to minimize swelling. He gave it to Kimball for all the bruises he had.

We've reached that time when the critics start picking their best and worst shows of 2011. For those which I've awarded prizes to, I have (I hope) also created links to my original reviews...
Best Opera: This is a tie between Glyndebourne's new Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg and the Mariinsky's Die Frau ohne Schatten which came to Edinburgh in August. Gerald Finley and Vladimir Jurowski were the stars of the former, the latter was a genuine company triumph.
Worst Opera: The Coliseum had a generally diabolical year in the first half of 2011, but the worst of the lot was unquestionably Christopher Alden's silent play with music by Benjamin Britten and words by William Shakespeare (in other words the god-awful A Midsummer Night's Dream). Another blogger recently described it as "anathema to loyalists to an Aldeburgh that never was" (boulezian). Never having known Aldeburgh in Britten's time I can only say that it committed the worst crime in my operatic book by being a production totally contrary to the spirit and meaning of the text (and most of the time the music). Running it a close second was the company's almost as awful Lucrezia Borgia the Film.

Edward Philip George Seaga /siˈaːɡə/ (born 28 May 1930),[1] ON PC is a politician and statesman; he was the fifth Prime Minister of Jamaica, from 1980 to 1989, and Leader of the Jamaica Labour Party from 1974 to 2005.[2] He served as leader of the opposition from 1974 to 1980, and again from 1989 until January 2005.
His retirement from political life marked the end of Jamaica's founding generation in active politics; he was the last serving politician to have entered public life before independence in 1962, as he was appointed to the Legislative Council (now the Senate) in 1959. Seaga is credited with building the financial and planning infrastructure of the country after independence, as well as developing its arts and crafts, and awareness of national heritage.
As a record producer and record company owner, Seaga also played a major role in the development of the Jamaican music industry.
Early life[edit]
Edward Philip George Seaga was born on 28 May 1930, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Philip George Seaga and Erna (née Maxwell), Jamaican parents of Lebanese and Scottish-Indian-African descent, respectively.[2] His parents returned to Jamaica with Edward when the boy was three months old. He was baptised in Kingston's Anglican Parish Church on 5 December 1930. Erna was the daughter of Elizabeth Campbell (maiden name), daughter of John Zungaroo Campbell (East Indian descent) and Elizabeth Heron (Scottish), both with African descent as well.
The young Seaga was educated at Wolmer's Schools in Jamaica. He went to the United States for college, graduating from Harvard University in 1952 with a Bachelor of Arts (Harvard AB) degree in the Social Sciences.[2] Before he began his political career Edward Sega was a music producer and promoter. He subsequently took a research post at the University of the West Indies.[2]
Music industry career[edit]
Seaga's research led to an interest in popular Jamaican music. In 1955, he supervised the recording of an album of ethnic Jamaican music.[3] He continued to produce recordings by other artists and in the late 1950s set up West India Records Limited (WIRL), releasing early recordings by artists such as Higgs and Wilson and Byron Lee & the Dragonaires.[3] Beginning in 1961, Seaga lived in West Kingston. He became deeply involved in its music scene and recorded some of its artists.
WIRL became the most successful record company in the West Indies.[3] After being elected in 1962 as a Member of Parliament, representing the Jamaica Labour Party, he sold the company to Byron Lee. It was renamed Dynamic Sounds.[3]
Over 16 years, Seaga worked on compiling a collection of Jamaican music covering the period from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s. This anthology, Reggae Golden Jubilee Origins of Jamaican Music, was released on November 6, 2012, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Jamaican independence.[4]
Political career[edit]
Seaga's political career began in 1959 when Sir Alexander Bustamante, founder of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), nominated him to serve in the Upper House of the Jamaican Parliament, the Legislative Council (later the Senate).[3] His appointment at the age of 29 made him the youngest member ever appointed to the Legislative Council.[3] In 1961, he participated in drafting the Jamaican Constitution.
In April 1962, Seaga was elected Member of Parliament for West Kingston, the waterfront area in the capital city. Historically, it has been the oldest settlement in Kingston for poor, working-class residents, many of whom are unemployed.[3] Employment is largely petty trading with some semi-skilled craftsmen. He held that seat for 43 consecutive years, until he retired, making him the longest-serving Member of Parliament in the history of Jamaica and the Caribbean region.[2] He is the only person elected as Member of Parliament for West Kingston for more than one term, and has won 10 consecutive terms.
Immediately after winning his seat in 1962, Seaga was appointed to the Cabinet as Minister of Development and Welfare, with responsibility for all areas of planning, social development and culture. He initiated the redevelopment of Back-of-Wall, a notorious large slum in West Kingston, and its replacement by housing, schools and community amenities, which was named Tivoli Garden, a model of community development. He also used his position to continue to promote Jamaican music.[3] Following the 1967 General Elections, Seaga was appointed Minister of Finance and Planning.[3] In 1974 he became Leader of the JLP, in which he served for 30 years; he was also Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition in various periods.[3]
Edward P.G. Seaga became Prime Minister of Jamaica following the General Election of October 30, 1980, when the Jamaica Labour Party won a landslide victory over the incumbent People's National Party (PNP), with the largest mandate ever. The mandate of Seaga and the Jamaica Labour Party was renewed in the uncontested 1983 General Elections.[3] He continued as Prime Minister until February 1989.
As one of the founding fathers in the framing of the Jamaican Constitution in 1961, Seaga has spearheaded far-reaching constitutional reforms since then. He initiated a re-write of the human rights section of the Constitution, to provide for a Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms; creation of the post of Public Defender; and curtailment of some of the powers of the Prime Minister to provide a better balance of power between the executive and the parliament in the Jamaican system of governance.

In addition to the NPS index, which will serve as a baseline for future customer research, survey responses are helping Acuo better understand how clients plan to expand their use of the company's Universal Clinical Platform across the healthcare enterprise. Acuo plans to continue its use of PeerIntel, along with other client communication initiatives, by establishing a quarterly program for gathering feedback from global customers.
"The consistent feedback will keep Acuo focused and engaged with customer needs as we grow our business around the world," said Imad Nijim, Vice President of Operations for Acuo. "This particular survey helped us learn not only specific details about the departments our clients want to connect to their VNA but also that many of them want our guidance on how and where to take the deployment once it is connected to radiology and cardiology. Obviously, that education process provides a real opportunity for Acuo to develop stronger relationships with our customers."
About PeerIntel
PeerIntel, a Katalus solution, combines a simple but powerful mobile survey platform with a proven methodology to help companies gather more executive-level customer feedback, faster. Unlike traditional survey tools and their single-digit response rates, PeerIntel typically delivers feedback from 40 to 50 percent of targeted customers in a matter of days. That's why PeerIntel is used by healthcare organizations and others around the world. For more information, visit www.peerintel.com.
About Acuo Technologies
Acuo Technologies, with headquarters in Minneapolis, MN, was founded in 2000 with the objective of developing the first enterprise-wide collaborative Universal Clinical Platform (UCP) solution for medical image content, both DICOM and Non-DICOM. Today, Acuo supports implementations of UCP around the world, including locations in Africa

However, U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev managed to reach a compromise at the last moment, preventing an all-out nuclear war.
This time Washington has decided to deploy 10 Ground-Based Interceptor missiles near Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and a 360-degree X-band radar not far from Prague in the Czech Republic -- in direct proximity of Russian borders.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates visited Moscow and negotiated with President Vladimir Putin, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov in the two-by-two format. But, as analysts had predicted, the talks did not produce any substantial results. It is obvious that the Bush administration will not renounce the missile defense program aimed at shielding the United States and Europe from so-called rogue states.
Moscow argues that Iran will not develop ballistic missiles capable of hitting North America and most European countries in the next 20 to 30 years. Washington is unconvinced.
At a recent summit with U.S. President George W. Bush, Putin proposed that the United States use Russia's Daryal early-warning radar in Gabala, Azerbaijan, and the Voronezh-M facility, now being constructed near Armavir in the North Caucasus, in place of the Czech radar.
U.S. experts who have assessed the Gabala radar's potential know that it completely scans Iran and several other regional countries and are ready to use this facility, but they insist that it be included in the European missile-defense system.
Moscow cannot agree to this because it is convinced that the interceptor missiles and the Czech radar are intended to impair the Russian nuclear deterrent by shielding Europe from the Topol, Topol-M and RS-18 -- SS-19 Stiletto -- intercontinental ballistic missiles deployed in the Tver, Ivanovo, Kaluga and Saratov regions of Central Russia.
It is clear that 10 GBI missiles would not stop a retaliatory strike in case of war. But the United States cannot guarantee that it will not deploy additional missile interceptors and early-warning radars.
Moreover, Washington is hinting that it will expand, beef up and overhaul the European missile-defense system. This would directly threaten Russia's security and defense capability.
The Russian leadership has repeatedly warned the United States and its allies that it would be forced to respond to the deployment of U.S. missile-defense elements in Europe and that it would re-target ICBMs against installations it identifies as potential threats. Moscow could also deploy Iskander-M theater-level missiles near the Polish border.
Putin told Rice and Gates that he was quite worried about the future of the 1987 Soviet-U.S. Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which must assume a global nature.
The Russian leader said this objective must be accomplished because Moscow would otherwise find it difficult to abide by the INF Treaty's provisions at a time when other countries, including those in direct proximity to Russian borders, were actively developing similar weapons systems.
Military experts understand that Russia may withdraw from the INF Treaty banning nuclear-tipped missiles with a range between 500 and 5,500 km if the United States goes ahead with its plans. Consequently, Washington and the European Union are facing the prospect of another era of nuclear confrontation.
The 38-day Cuban missile crisis was a critical moment in the nuclear arms race and the Cold War. At the time, the world was tottering on the verge of an abyss. Soviet and U.S. diplomats, politicians and generals realized that it was pointless to hold each other hostage, and that both sides would have to negotiate on all pressing issues and avoid using military force.
The events of October 1962 paved the way for detente and convinced both countries that they were mutually vulnerable and must therefore reduce strategic offensive arms. In the long run, Moscow and Washington signed a number of arms-control agreements, including the history-making Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 1972.
Unfortunately, the present-day conflict was triggered by the Bush administration's unilateral decision to withdraw from the ABM Treaty.
However, any confrontation similar to the Cuban missile crisis would lead both countries down a blind alley. Mutual security interests simply cannot be disregarded. The White House would make a mistake if it tried to engage Russia in a new arms race in order to undermine its economy. Moscow now has enough weapons for a cheap and asymmetrical response to current challenges.
No one would profit in the event of such confrontation, and Europe would be the main loser if Russia withdrew from the INF Treaty and retargeted its nuclear-tipped missiles at U.S. missile defense elements in Europe.

Random acts of kindness
Winnipeg Free Press readers share their stories
A kind and humble man at grocery check-out
It was one of those mornings when you lift up the carton of milk and realize it's too light.
This means a quick trip to the grocery store is in order before your child needs to go to daycare and you need to go to work.
As with many families, a quick trip for milk may also mean throwing in all the other things you know are getting low. Before I knew it, I had a full cart.
With my two-year-old in tow and all the groceries scanned through, I opened my wallet to discover that both my debit and credit card were gone, and I had only a small amount of cash. A lineup had already developed behind me, and I felt a heat wave flood over me as I thought back to the last time I had used my wallet and where my cards could be.
I was about to tell the cashier to cancel my order so as not to hold up the line while I searched my purse and car for the missing cards when the young gentleman behind me reached out his card and said that he "had it."
I assured him that it wasn't necessary while still scrambling to find the missing cards. The cashier even told him that I had a large cart of groceries and asked him if he wanted to know my total before offering. He humbly and quietly said, "It doesn't matter how much," and in moments he was gone.
I stood shocked at his humble generosity. By the time I was outside pushing my cart to the car, a stream of grateful tears was running down my cheeks.
To the kind man who came in to the Sobeys on Warde Avenue and Dakota Street to buy just two boxes of Pop Tarts, may you be blessed! You are an example of the grace and generosity that we should all share with others. Thank you so very much.
— Bobbi Jo Castaneda
We did the happy dance
Christmas Eve 2013 was a very cold, blustery day. Blizzards were called for. But my daughter, Danielle Basim, still needed to work, so she left in a rush to be driven to her job by her boyfriend.
In her haste, she dropped her wallet when she exited the car.
Danielle came home very upset a few hours later, freaking out because the wallet had her Christmas money and ID.
But an amazing gentleman named Murray — I was so surprised that I didn't get his last name — came clear across town (more than half an hour) to bring my daughter her wallet.
Thank you so much, Mr. Murray. You made my daughter and wee grandson happy. We certainly did the happy dance.
— Helen Parry
Cheerful waves make my day
Every morning, at École Tuxedo Park School on Corydon Avenue, there is a lovely lady crossing guard who is always smiling and waving at the drivers who pass her on their way to work.
She always waves from her post and gives us drivers something to cheer us on our way.
Even freezing-cold weather doesn't stop her smile, and she waves to those who notice her.
She always makes me smile. I am sure she volunteers, but her good-cheering waves are the best thing to see daily.
I always wave back but many drivers do not. She deserves a wave of thanks and acknowledgement.
— Alison Kapalka
Darling trio delighted 85-year-old
Three lovely young ladies, Michelle, Hope and Riley, came to the aid of our mother and grandmother one night when her walker got caught in a rut in front of a hotel she was exiting.
She fell over the walker and injured not only her face and wrist, but sustained an enormous amount of bruising to her entire body from the fall.
These three young women not only drove her to the Victoria Hospital but insisted on staying with her until the morning to make certain she had test results and had contacted family. The distraction and conversation they provided delighted this 85-year-old, who likened them to family.
Three strangers are now called "the angels" that came to her rescue.
From Victoria and all of her family, many, many thanks to this darling trio.
— Lin Edwards, Kelly and the whole Pid crew.
Cold did not deter Paul from helping
Thank you very much to Paul, the very kind man who helped me push the car I was driving when it died at Jubilee Avenue and Osborne Street.
Paul got out in the cold to help me get the car safely onto a side street and wouldn't leave until he was sure I had help on the way.
Thanks Paul, I'll pass on the good deed.
— Chelsey Kretai
An angel with skin on
I am a senior, and I live in Transcona.
Twice now, I have had my driveway cleaned by a Good Samaritan. I have no idea how to contact this kind person and thank him or her.
I hope you read this so I can tell you how much I appreciate your kindness.
You are truly an angel with skin on. God bless you.
— Elsie Kosowan
Good people do the right thing
I had hopped on the Crescent bus, as I often do, to go to work. I took my earbuds off, unplugged my iPod and set both down on the seat beside me as I had run into a friend, and we had started talking.
When I got to work, I had the ear buds but no iPod. Ugh. I realized I must have left it on the seat on the bus.
I thought it was gone forever, but I called Winnipeg Transit the next morning and they had it. Someone turned it in after finding it on the bus.
What a relief.
A very big 'thank you' to the Crescent bus rider who handed in it. You are "good people."
My kids told me last night that I would never see it again, as someone likely slipped it into their own pocket. I will be very happy to tell them tonight at dinner, "No, there are good people out there, ready, willing and able to do the right thing."
— Leslie Stafford
A big grin and a helping hand
We were driving north on McPhillips Street when traffic suddenly came to an abrupt stop and no vehicle moved for quite some time.
I couldn't see a stalled car or accident ahead and wondered what the problem was. After a while, traffic started to inch along. As we neared the railroad crossing by the casino, I could see that the guard rail was down at the train crossing, the red light flashing, although there was no train anywhere in sight. Clearly there had been a malfunction, very unfortunate during rush hour.
Then I noticed a young man holding up one end of the guard rail as high as he could so northbound vehicles could pass by. He was smiling broadly despite the guard rail looking like it was awkward and heavy to hold up for that long. I saw a car pulled over near where he was, so he had probably parked his car there and decided to literally take matters into his own hands.
Presumably he changed lanes and did the same thing in the southbound lane which was why the traffic was moving irregularly.
I wish I had time to snap a photo of him and his cheerful countenance, as he helped hundreds of people get to their destination.
If this isn't an act of kindness, I don't know what is.
— Maria Harden
Knew what to do in an emergency
I slipped and fell in the parking lot at the corner of Killarney Avenue and Pembina Highway. I went flying and landed under a parked truck.
As I lay there helpless, stunned and in shock a kind gentleman rushed to my aid. Fortunately for me, this gentleman was an EMT responder and he immediately recognized my dilemma and knew what to do.
His first words were, "Don't move, Ma'am." He speculated that I had separated my shoulder, and he used my scarf to make a temporary sling. He also stayed with me and comforted me until an ambulance arrived to take me to the hospital.
It was later determined that I had broken the bone in my arm between the shoulder and the elbow.
This gentleman was on his way to work to pick up his shift and had only just stopped in at 7-Eleven to pick up a coffee. He was my guardian angel that day.
I did not get the name of this kind gentleman but his actions reminded me that there are still a lot of good people in this world. To this gentleman I say thank you for coming to my aid.
— Polly Cudjoe
Good karma on the way
I feel compelled to pass along my gratitude to the people who have, in their compassion, eliminated an extremely stressful situation for my daughter and her boyfriend.
They had watched a Jets game at the MTS Centre and returned to their vehicle in a nearby parkade, only to find it had been broken into. The thieves had taken an iPod and unfortunately my daughter's purse. Both items had been hidden in the car, but obviously not well enough.
My daughter phoned home very upset as she knew she'd have to cancel credit cards and obtain new ID. But shortly after, she received a phone call from the police on Grant Avenue telling her they had her purse. Only $8 in change was missing, all ID intact.
Once again, to whoever found the purse and turned it in, your compassion and caring to take a moment out of your day to help will always be remembered and appreciated.
kGood Karma coming your way!
— Diane Johnson
Neighbours on guard
My husband and I went out to finish our shopping for Easter. We were in the grocery store and saw our neighbour talking to the store manager and someone else.
The next thing we knew, she was headed towards us looking very serious. She told us the lady had called the manager about our dog being in the car. The temperature was minus 11 that morning, and the sun was shining, but we keep our car cool. She said she would keep watch over our car until we finished.
Needless to say we hurried to get our shopping done as fast as we could. When we headed out of the store, there standing guard was not only one neighbour but two.
To Gena and Bev, we can't thank you enough as you know it would break our hearts if we lost him. Once again many, many thanks from the other Bev.
— Bev Edstrom

"*Ordered a Sample* I am the first to admit that I am a snob when it comes to retro/vintage designs, but I loved this card. It was classy and a little art deco.

SearchAll Refuges
The mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System is to administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management and, where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats within the United States for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans.
Refuge conservation plans are called "Comprehensive Conservation Plans" (CCPs). The purpose of a CCP is to specify a management direction for the Refuge for the next 15 years. The Fish Springs CCP was finalized in 2004. and it directs its habitat management to be stepped down into a more-specific habitat management plan (HMP). The HMP for the Refuge is currently under development.
The National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 expressly states that wildlife conservation is the priority of System lands. The Act was passed to ensure that the Refuge System is managed as a national system of related lands, waters, and interests for the protection and conservation of our Nation's wildlife resources.

"Outlaws of America brings to life America's most famous renegades, the Weather Underground. Based on detailed and original research, it is a gripping account of the actions and motivations of the group of white people who risked everything to oppose war and racism. At the same time, it provides a nuanced and critically engaged study demostrating the Weather Underground's contemporary significance. This engaging, and timely book tells the untold story of the Weather Underground, from its incendiary beginnings to its tumultuous end. In an unsparing critical analysis, Berger uses dozens of in-depth interviews with former Weather Underground members and other long-time activists to trace the group's evolution in relation to the civil rights, Black Power, and anti-war movements. From the Students for a Democratic Society of the 1960s through the political trials of the 1980s, Outlaws of America is a history of the Weather Underground that clearly resonates today. It is essential reading for students, activists, and anyone concerned about both the state of the world and what to do about it."--Publisher's website.

Diamonds on the diamond
Nelly hit home runs to left and right field at Sunday's Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. Later at the MLB.com All-Star Bash, the rapper arrived in his signature gi-normous diamond earrings. Assuming he wore them for the game, I said those diamonds didn't slow him on the diamond.
"No, ma'am," he said.
Denton can play with style
Bravo's Andy Cohen can be such a fashion plate.
For the MLB.com All-Star Bash, he was sort of, uh, dressed down in golf shirt, casual pants and some sneakers I now covet. So were many others, but I decided to tweak Cohen a little anyhow.
Who are you wearing? "Ha, ha," Cohen said, perhaps not even mildly amused.
See, when I put that question to James Denton, he threw his head back, laughed and said, "How ya doin', CJ? I'm wearing straight from the softball game! I didn't even take a shower."
If I played softball as well as Denton, I'd never shower.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that the reality spinoff Breaking Amish: Brave New World features the now ex-Amish and ex-Mennonite cast trying to create new lives for themselves in the secular, world. Like the original, it contains some sexual references, strong language, and lots of drinking and drunken behavior.

What's the story?
The reality spin-off BREAKING AMISH: BRAVE NEW WORLD stars the original cast of Breaking Amish, who have now left their Mennonite and Amish lives behind and are struggling to adjust in the secular world. Months after Sabrina, Rebecca, Jeremiah, Abe, and Kate went their separate ways following their New York City experience and Abe and Rebecca's wedding, they come together again to take a road trip from Pennsylvania to Sarasota, Florida, where many Amish and ex-Amish have settled. While they sightsee and enjoy each other's company, they also share the individual struggles they are facing as they try to build new lives, like being harassed by members of their former community, and being unable to find work in their hometown. Adding to the fray is Abe's 18-year-old sister Katie Ann, who is thinking about leaving the Amish, and wants to join the gang and see what the outside world looks like before she makes her decision. It's an adventure, but one that opens old wounds and creates new conflicts.
Is it any good?
Brave New World attempts to continue its parent series' original narrative by revealing how each cast member is struggling to adapt to the culture of the English (non-Amish) world and gain a sense of belonging, while quietly holding on to what they love about their former communities, who no longer want anything to do with them. But most of the focus is on the soap opera-like relationships between the members of the group, most of what appears obviously contrived to create lots of voyeuristically entertaining moments.
Much is made about the intolerant acts members of their former Amish/Mennonite communities have committed against the cast since they left their homes. While this is troubling, some viewers may also take issue with their failure to take any real responsibility for the on-camera behavior that has inspired this hostility, like drinking heavily, engaging in casual sexual encounters, and in some cases, openly disparaging the Amish and Mennonite way of life. As a result, rather than being inspired by their courage to find their own way, you are just left feeling disappointed by their antics.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about how faith-based subcultures, like the Amish and the Mennonites, are portrayed by the media. What stereotypes exist about these groups? Do you think the representations of these communities in the Breaking Amish franchise is accurate?
How real is the cast's partying behavior on the show? Why do you think the cast has chosen to behave the way they do on camera, even if they know that it hurts, insults, and offends the people they love in their former communities?

Monty's Men: The British Army and the Liberation of Europe
Historian John Buckley offers a radical reappraisal of Great Britain's fighting forces during World War Two, challenging the common belief that the British Army was no match for the forces of Hitler's Germany. Following Britain's military commanders and troops across the battlefields of Europe, from D-Day to VE-Day, from the Normandy beaches to Arnhem and the Rhine, and, ultimately, to the Baltic,Carbon-Carbon Materials and Composites
The major areas of carbon-carbon materials and composites are described in this comprehensive volume. It presents data and technology on the materials and structures developed for the production of carbon-carbon materials and composites. The text is composed of papers by 13 noted authors in their areas of expertise relating to the processes and production of these material systems and structures.The Normandy Compaign 1944: Sixty Years on
Bringing together essays on key aspects of the Normandy campaign from leading names in military history, this book re-examines the crucial issues and debates of the D-Day campaign.Although it was the most important campaign fought by the Western Allies in World War II and was pivotal in determining the outcome of the war, there remains much to debate about D-Day. This volume tackles a range ofBritish Armour in the Normandy Campaign
The popular perception of the performance of British armour in the Normandy campaign of 1944 is one of failure and frustration. Despite overwhelming superiority in numbers, Montgomery's repeated efforts to employ his armour in an offensive manner ended in disappointing stalemate. Indeed, just a week after the D-Day landings, the Germans claimed to have halted an entire British armoured division

What I want to establish is if the Linn Isobarik topology
I'm open to other suggestions. Perhaps something a little more conventional, along the lines of the Keltik suggested above? The main thing is the isobaric woofers. That's the bit I'm really keen to try out. I have seen the Pink Fish site. I've gathered some of the info that I do have from there, but I haven't scoured it in detail. Perhaps its time to take another look. Last edited by ingenieus; 28th July 2011 at 07:09 PM. |

I believe that the reason for the mixed reviews of this loudspeaker is beause the configuration relies a lot on reflected sound. Different listening environments would then give the speaker a totally different character. More so than with a conventional layout.
I remember the adverts for the Linn ISOBARIK. I think this speaker was mostly about Linn having something different to offer, more than out-and-out performance. Bose: "direct/reflecting"; BIC: BIC Venturi with the tapered port; Technics: honeycomb diaphragms; Yamaha: ear-shaped speakers; B&W: golf-ball effect ports. It's mostly gimmickery.

@ ingenieus. Shaun,
If You'll ever have a chance to evaluate the real LINN PMS ISOBARIC-NAIM SIX PACK ACTIVE speaker setup with front end loaded with LINN LP 12 in its full (best drive, tonearm + internal wires, lo MC cartridge) pack, playing back a Vinyl records from 80s, with the system fully tuned by a trained LINN guy then You'll for ever change Yours standards for a Stereo only playback system for sure. From my own experience I can only say that no one 5.1 (digital) setup play-back chain can fairly compete to the previously mentioned - 2 CH vinyl play-back chain - playing back the LP disc produced in 80s with the real music recorded (classical, Jazz, instrumental, vocal) consisting of real instruments, real natural dynamics recorded & unprocessed - Direct Cut LP discs... yes this was way before the computer copy-paste compressed sound invention and CD killed music arise. Such a play-back chain is a totally different world with totally different emotional qualities. Even todays the most technically advanced DSD or XDSD recording - playback equipment can't come close to the old 2 inch Studer Tape machines at 78 ips ... Mr. Tim De Paravicini is the guy who knows more about.., Studer simply leave all the current digitally inventions way behind . . I have some 6 Direct Cutted LP discs at my collection. ( The real Direct Cutted - Orchestra is playing live and 20 Studer LP cutters cut groves directly to 200g Vinyl blanks. Only 100 LP discs produced this way and the orchestra has to play 5 times the same scores to achieve this. Setup: Mics ---> Mixing Desk ---> Studer LP master Cutting machines, even 2 inch tape machine wasn't in the signal chain). I have listen such a discs on a previously mentioned LINN-NAIM SIX pack system and till today I was not able to hear any system playback chain sounding better in terms of a NATURAL & LIFE LIKE SOUND, stage and dynamics this vintage 2 CH playback chain can produce. The only YAMAHA was able to play back the similar sound with theirs 10000 series CD, preamp-power amp and with theirs top anniversary all berilium 3 way+1 (woofer) a two piece 4 way speaker system. I hear this system once but the source was Yamaha CDX 10000 CD player and the comparation isn't possible at all because of lacking the sound informations due to limits of a CD - missing supersonic frequencies above 20 KHz. The Linn Isobaric speakers mentioned here on this thread are only a single link in a play-back chain and they need to be in a system which is dedicated & specifically fine tuned to them and to real music. Only then they can shine singing. If only a single part from the playback chain is missing they will newer sing - they will only play . . . Andrew |

Tastes differ. I heard full Linn/ Naim systems including Isobariks, Saras and Kans several times in the 80s at shows, in shops and home systems and was never really convinced. The active Isobariks were the ones I liked the most, unsurprisingly, but I really didn't like the Sara at all. I'm interested to see positive comments on the imaging, since although the Isobariks certainly filled a room well, and the bass was very solid, they always sounded rather 'diffuse' (or 'spacious', to put a positive spin on it), in an artificial way, to me. Reminded me of a good quality PA system more than anything else. As Shaun says, if you set a system like that up in the right room with the right support equipment- and probably listen to the 'right' music and have the 'right' tastes- it may be that nothing else will do. The odds are probably worse than a more conventional system that you'll like what you end up with, but more power to you for giving it a go!

The new active design with an old direction to target ?
@ Brett,
I have mentioned my sound impressions only for the particularly fine tuned PMS based system and with the exclusive mentioned front end with only the direct cut LP masters played back in a very typical 4,5m X 6m room with no special treatment at all, so any other combinaion which only slightly differ from mentioned one cannot compare. I was each year on the best Hi-End shows in EU and I haven't yet have a chance to hear more lifelike & with such a natural non compressed (by the whole system in mind) dynamic sound, but yes, I heard more than hundred different trendy fashion sounds which they mostly represent the sound for the demonstrators abilities to tune the sound on theirs own preferences. I daily work with real live classical orchestra music and that exactly setup I mention is the closest approximation what I hear in real. I'm not comparing my feel of a real live sound to any other Hi-End fashion style sound at all. @ ingenieus The project . . . Maybe it would be great to go for an active speaker design approach - The Tang_Band circular bass driver will nicelly fit here - (lovest fs & height of only 76mm.) or oval bass (bit higher fs & its height ... - not suitable.) It would be good to wire the bass drivers in series to get an aprox. 6R drive, - for the mid sect. the Audiotechnology C-Quenze 5" - 15 H 52 06 13 SDC will be sound-neutrality vise a good choice and for the tweeter a Hiquphon (D2094-8708-03) would be a good match, there are several other models but this one is very promising. Then make a plan for a go for a LINN stile enclsure design or make a dcision related from best evaluated & liked designs and go for a novel design with implemented org. Isobaric bass loading principle. To achieve the target sound would be much easier in an active system eg. using nice fet sounding amps for the Hi and Midrange section and a much powerful Bjt amp for the Bass section. For the active freq. dividers would be best to go with simple discrete modules thus avoiding the very lifeless + - 12V IC oriented designs but instead chose much higher + - 24V discrete modules passing throe much greater headroom - perceptible dynamics. Please go for as much possible wide options choices and at the end chose the most suitable to You. Andrew |

There is certainly something attractive about the sound produced by a loudspeaker that produces a diffuse sound. I have enjoyed speakers that provide pinpoint imaging, as well as ones that throw a "wall of sound" at you. I don't know if this Linn can be put into either of those categories, though ("diffuse" might be a third). I think it approaches the Bose 901 (which I have also enjoyed), whilst retaining the direct-radiating approach of a conventional speaker. So, maybe it does a bit of everything. The trick is to get the mix right. So - by all means - go for it, but make it flexible would be my advice.

The level of knowledge in the audio DIY community is orders of magnitude higher today than it was back then when this speaker was on the market. And the problems that gave digital a bad name then have since been mastered. DIYers even have better and more sophisticated tools available now. I

MediaEntryAttribute Class
Signifies that the specified class is to be treated as a media link entry.
Namespace: System.Data.Services.Client
Assembly: System.Data.Services.Client (in System.Data.Services.Client.dll)
The MediaEntryAttribute type exposes the following members.
Name | Description | |
MediaMemberName | The name of the property on the class that holds the media, usually binary data. |
Name | Description | |
Equals | Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The class is treated as a media link entry, which is an AtomPub protocol for handling binary data and metadata about that binary data. The use of this attribute to define a media link entry is replaced by a new attribute that supports the streaming of binary media resource data. For more information, see WCF Data Services (Silverlight).
A type marked with this attribute has altered behavior when BeginSaveChanges is called. The media property is also known as a Media resource. On saving, the media property of the type denoted by the MediaMemberName property, is inserted by a POST request to the URI /<EntitySet>/$value.
After the POST, a PUT request with all the properties on the type other than the MediaMemberName property, which is binary content, are sent to the URI /<EntitySet>(<key>).
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.

Italian Traditional Family Stunts Individual Enterprise
(p. 15) Hooper's book, both sweeping in scope and generous with detail, makes persuasive arguments for how geography, history and tradition have shaped Italy and its citizens, for better and sometimes for worse. Roman Catholicism, for example, has indelibly conditioned Italian society, even as the Vatican's restrictions are widely ignored. Catholicism's great allowance for human frailty has translated into a great propensity for forgiveness, as evinced in the Italian justice system, but also resistance to the notion of accountability. It's a word, Hooper adds, that has no counterpart in the Italian language.
. . .
There's . . . mammismo, the propensity of young Italians to remain too closely tied to the maternal apron strings. But while "the traditional family has been at the root of much of what Italy has achieved," Hooper writes, dependence on the family can infantilize, and lack of individual enterprise has held the country back. Indeed, various sections of Hooper's book return to Italy's economic decline and its underlying causes.He notes that the paperwork and formalities of Italy's cumbersome bureaucracy rob the average Italian of 20 days a year. And he wonders what other country could ever have had a Minister for Simplification to deal with its plethora of often conflicting laws and regulations.
Circumventing some of that bureaucracy partly answers another common question: Why is Italy so prone to corruption? After all, Italians are masters at sidestepping regulations, or, as the saying goes, "Fatta la legge, trovato l'inganno" ("Make the law, then find a way around it"). It's no wonder foreign investment in Italy is so low.
