Nishi-ku, Sapporo
Nishi (西区; -ku, lit. "west ward") is a ward of Sapporo composed of residential neighborhoods mostly arranged in grid patterns, with some areas of farmland and forested mountainous terrain mostly near its western and southern edges. It is located the west part of Sapporo city and the second largest of Sapporo's 10 wards. Neighbourhoods within Nishi-ku include Kotoni (琴似), Hachiken (八軒), Nijuyonken (二十四軒), Yamanote (山の手), Nishimachi (西町), Nishino (西野), Fukui (福井), Heiwa (平和), Hassamu (発寒), Miyanosawa (宮の沢), and Kobetsuzawa (小別沢).
Area:74.93 km²
Population: 208,949
Households: 93,633
Nishi-ku Ward Office: 2 Jo 7 Chome, Kotoni Nishi-ku, Sapporo-shi,
The administrative offices of Nishi-ku are located in the Kotoni neighbourhood. Primary public transportation services are the Sapporo Municipal Subway, JR Hokkaidō, and bus services including JR Hokkaidō Bus and Hokkaidō Chūō Bus. The last four stations of the Tozai subway line's western end are located here, two of which were added in 1999. Japan Highway's Sapporo-Otaru expressway section passes through Nishi-ku, with two interchanges (Nishi and Shinkawa) serving the ward.
Sapporo Municipal Teine Memorial Museum (手稲記念館), Kotoni Tonden Historical Archives (琴似屯田歴史館資料室), and Mitobe Memorial Museum (三戸部記念館) are sites of historical interest whose focus is on the era of Japanese 'pioneers' in Hokkaidō.
The eastern part of Nishi-Ku is flat with many residential and commercial areas, but the western part slopes into mountains. Sankaku-yama (Mt.Triangle), located in the western part of the ward in the Yamanote area, is a 311.3m high triangle-shaped mountain and is a popular and easy hike. It leads to Okura jump stadium in Chuo-ku.
Consadole Sapporo's practice field is also located in Nishi-ku, and is a popular site for the team's fans. Major parks in Nishi-ku are Noshi Koen and Miyagaoka Koen. Numerous other parks may be found, many located along the banks of the Kotoni-Hassamu-gawa and its tributaries. Hiking trails abound. One of the most popular begins from near the Heiwa-no-taki waterfall and leads to the summit of Sapporo's famous mountain, Mt. Teine in which the Olympic game was held in 1972 has some ski ground and an amusement park, located on the division line of Nishi-ku and Teine-ku, the city's northwesternmost ward.
In the less built-up neighbourhoods of Nishino, Heiwa, Fukui, and Kobetsuzawa, it is not unusual for wildlife, such as red foxes (Vulpes vulpes schrencki) and Asiatic brown bears (Ursus arctos yesoensis) or their spoor, to be observed.

Social Security Applications Now Have Information Restricted
Bad news for researchers who request the Social Security application of an ancestor - if the record you are requesting is for someone whose birthdate isn't at least 100 years ago (e.g. 1911 or earlier), the Social Security Administration is now blacking out the parents' names. As Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak points out in her blog, this would mean the parents would likely have been born 120-150 years ago.

What a great event why not ones for diffrent breeds like one for rat terriers and one for mutts and what about one for every breed of dog to attend and how about one for owners to bring every pet imaginable with them cause some people might have a lizard or cat as a best friend or even a horse, goat or duck. This way every pet and pet owner is invited. They have a thing like this in Longview on commerece street every year for little dogs I think it is called something like weenie day. But most of the dogs are doxie's, chiuahau's and pugs. It would be nice to do this for larger breed's of dogs and for other pets.

Is this kind of preamps give a good sound(it is good for me, i dive two Meridian 105 amps with it, but i didn't compare this preamp with other "brand name" preamps)??? My questions are maybe little bit stupid, but i just want to know, what i have at home...In case in the future, that i wolud like to buy some preamp with remote, how much money i have to spend to buy a better sound, that i have with this preamp?

Passive preamps using transformers such as yours were extensively discussed 2-3 years ago here:
http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/amp/bbs.html Sorry I don't have a specific link. You will have to use the search function to find some exact threads about your preamp. I have no experience with what you have but the messages I read about them make me think you have some of the best in volume controls. |

Sam Amadi, NERC Chairman
Licensed electricity companies are likely to get an independent director, following the failure of electricity metering scheme in the country.
Chairman, Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Dr. Sam Amadi, who confirmed the development, said an independent director would be somebody who has no equity and interest in the company.
Amadi who admitted the failure of the metering system, said NERC had a plan B, which would be announced next year.
He explained that the commission was not going to allow "the family business" syndrome that crumbled the banking industry to repeat itself in the electricity sector.
According to him, executive board members would be subject to tenure of five years, renewable twice.
"Electricity is a sector with long gestation of projects so we should have executives and management with longer period in office to drive the investment plans," Amadi said.
On the six-month minor review of the Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO), Amadi said, the commission left the tariff unchanged because there was no change in the pointers that would have brought about modification of the tariff.
He said the commission would review tariffs early next year following complaints of the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
He said the committee, which was set up for the purpose had almost concluded its job and that by first or second week of next year, the committee would have rounded off.

Tannoy GRF Corner Horn and similar
These questions may seem stupid, but I want to know so I ask. I have built some horns years ago. Don't know how I came up with calculations for those, but they sound pretty OK I guess. FE164 as midrange/high and Seas CA25FEY/DD in the bassregion. I had a brain hemorrhage a couple of years ago and my skills in math haven't been working properly ever since, therefore I don't understand some of the crap I did back then. I have looked upon several cornerhorns, and I like the way they look. They somehow have WAF which is important in this house. I am low on cash, but I am thinking of building some sort of cornerhorn with drivers below. My woodworkingskills are 'B' and I have a tablesaw and the machinery to do it.
Now to the stupid question: Did the old horns divide into two horns separately after the first throatexpansion or were they made 50/50 of the area? Would either the FE103Z or FE164 work in a FLH cut around 250-300Hz? If you don't ask. You will never know. If you don't try. You are plain lazy. |

Not an exact question to your question, but perhaps useful anyway: in my opinion if you'll use a FR driver from say 300hz onwards then I'd try to use a smaller one without a whizzer for extra smoothness.
But, even so, if I would go for the effort of building such a rather complex enclosure, I would probably try to stay in the spirit of the original and put a decent coaxial driver in it. You'll be filtering anyway. |

Thanks for the reply. I don't intend to do an exact copy of something existing, I just want to be inspired by the old designs. I don't need to "get down" that far in bass.
I am trying at the moment to get a grip on Hornresp. |

This statement has been prepared based on information available at 10 am on Monday 1 December 2008. Some checks have been made on the data, but it is possible that results will change as new information becomes available.
1Averages: historical average temperatures and rainfall are based on all available records.
Normals are long-term means based on observations from all available years of record, which vary widely from site to site. They are not shown for sites with less than 20 years of record, as they cannot then be calculated reliably.
The Rank indicates how rainfall this time compares with the climate record for the site, based on the decile ranking (very low rainfall is in decile 1, low in decile 2 or 3, normal in decile 4 to 7, high in decile 8 or 9 and very high is in decile 10).
The Fraction of normal shows how much rain has fallen this time as a percentage of the long-term mean.

| PDF 128Kb |
The relationship of various morphometric characteristics, carapace width, carapace length, body weight, abdomen width, propodus length and propodus height with fecundity in Portunus pelagicus was investigated using linear regression analysis. All the morphometric characteristics studied showed positive correlation with fecundity and the degree of relationship varied considerably. Among these, the carapace width was found to be the most ideal morphometric character to predict the fecundity of P. pelagicus.

Patrick Cargill
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2008) |
Patrick Cargill | |
Born | Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex, England |
3 June 1918
Died | 23 May 1996 Richmond, London, England |
(aged 77)
Occupation | Actor |
Patrick Cargill (3 June 1918 – 23 May 1996)[1] was a British actor particularly well known for his role in the British television sitcom Father, Dear Father.
Cargill was born to middle-class parents living in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex. After education at Haileybury College, he made his debut in the Bexhill Amateur Theatrical Society. However, he was aiming for a military career and was selected for training at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. Cargill became a commissioned officer in the Indian Army.
The stage[edit]
After World War II ended, Cargill returned to Britain to focus on a stage career, and joined Anthony Hawtrey's company at Buxton, Croydon and later the Embassy Theatre at Swiss Cottage in London. He became a supporting player in John Counsell's repertory at Windsor alongside Barbara Bruce and Beryl Reid and scored a huge hit in the revue The World's the Limit, which was seen by the Queen and 26 of her guests one evening.[citation needed] He made his first West End appearance in 1953 in Ian Carmichael's revue High Spirits at the London Hippodrome. He also co-wrote the stage play Ring for Catty, with Jack Beale. The second of the Carry On films, Carry On Nurse, produced in 1959, was based on this play as was the 1962 film Twice Round the Daffodils.
After a number of other West End roles he was cast as Bernard in Boeing Boeing at the Apollo Theatre in 1962. The farce, which was ideal for Cargill, drew the attention of major producers led to him starring in Say Who You Are at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1965 and directing Not Now Darling by Ray Cooney and John Chapman at the Strand Theatre in 1968.
Cargill performed on several occasions with Tony Hancock, twice in Hancock's final BBC television series, including a role as the doctor who clashes with him in the "The Blood Donor" (1961).[1][2] In 1961-62 he featured as the regular character Miguel Garetta in all 26 episodes of the British spy series Top Secret, and in 1962 he played Herr Straffen in The Last Man Out, a TV series by Shaun Sutton, followed two years later by a major part of an episode of The Avengers TV series. In 1967, he appeared in two episodes of The Prisoner as an unusually crude and brutal Number Two in "Hammer Into Anvil" and as a colleague from Number Six's pre-Village days in "Many Happy Returns".
Cargill starred in three television series of Feydeau farces, adapted by Ned Sherrin and Caryl Brahms and entitled Ohh La La (1968–73), which were shown on BBC 2. These vignette Feydeau farces were originally intended to provide variety for Parisian audiences who were used to more than one production during an evening's entertainment. The third and final series showcased Feydeau's longer pieces.[3]
In 1968, Cargill starred in Father, Dear Father on ITV (written specifically for him) as Patrick Glover, a thriller writer and an inept father of two teenage daughters, played by Natasha Pyne (Anna) and Ann Holloway (Karen). The show ran until 1973 and showcased many other stars, such as Leslie Phillips, Ian Carmichael, Tony Britton, Jeremy Child, Joyce Carey, Ursula Howells, Terence Alexander, Donald Sinden, Eric Barker, Rodney Bewes, June Whitfield, Richard O'Sullivan, Bill Fraser, Dandy Nichols, Bill Pertwee, Peter Jones, Joan Sims, Richard Wattis, Jack Hulbert, Hugh Paddick, Roy Kinnear and Beryl Reid.
The series was produced and directed by William G. Stewart, later to be the presenter of Channel 4 quiz show Fifteen to One. Many of these stars appeared in an entertainment special starring Cargill, called Patrick, Dear Patrick, An Evening with Patrick Cargill and His Guests. Cargill was a friend of Patrick Macnee from their early acting days, and Macnee returned from California to make a guest appearance on the show. It included both Patricks singing "Mad Dogs and Englishmen".[citation needed] Cargill's companion, Vernon Page, recounts that at the time of casting Cargill wanted to sing this duet with Sir Noël Coward and even visited him at the hotel in London where he was staying in an attempt to persuade him to appear, but Coward was either unwilling or unable to agree to the request and he died 15 months later. This one-off special production by Thames Television also guest-starred Beryl Reid, with whom Cargill sang the duet "I Remember It Well" by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe (from Gigi). Cargill added a new response to the line "We drank champagne" (Cargill's line): "You gave me Coke, you drank the wine yourself, you soak!" (Reid's riposte). Cargill made no further light entertainment shows of this genre.
In 1976, Cargill returned to the TV screens with The Many Wives of Patrick, playing a middle-aged playboy, Patrick Woodford, who is trying to divorce his sixth wife in order to remarry his first. This series showcased many prominent stars such as Patrick Macnee and Dawn Adams. The 1980s was something of a revival for Cargill's natural talent at farce. He co-starred in Key for Two with Moira Lister at the Vaudeville Theatre and then at the Old Vic Theatre in William Douglas-Home's After the Ball is Over. In 1986, he starred in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at the Chichester Festival Theatre, in which he played the part of Senex.
In his final years, Cargill was seen in Captain Beaky at the Playhouse in 1990 and after that he toured in Derek Nimmo's British Airways Playhouse. He also played Neville Chamberlain in the 1990 British Sitcom Heil Honey I'm Home, which was cancelled after one episode. For the centenary staging of Charley's Aunt in 1992, Cargill played the part of the dreaded Spettigue.
His film appearances included An Alligator Named Daisy and Expresso Bongo; two of the Carry On films: Carry On Regardless and Carry On Jack; the Beatles' Help! (1965), The Magic Christian (1969) with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr, and Charlie Chaplin's A Countess from Hong Kong, in which he played the part of the butler, Hudson.
A lesser known detail of Cargill's showbusiness career is the handful of recordings that he made in the 1960s and 1970s. The first was an album called Father, Dear Father (1969) in which Cargill sang a medley of songs. The female voice on the album was not Noel Dyson (Nanny) but that of June Hunt, a friend of Cargill's.
He followed this with three singles. One called "Father, Dear Father Christmas" and another called "Thinking Young" and the final single called "Father, Dear Father." None of these recordings were commercially successful.
Cargill appeared as Sir Joseph Porter in H.M.S. Pinafore at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in August 1983.[4]
Personal life[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2012) |
From the mid-1960s Cargill lived at Sheen Gate Gardens near Richmond, Surrey. He spent his time 'resting' at Spring Cottage, his country retreat situated in Warren Lane, near Cross-in-Hand, East Sussex. For many years Cargill's companion was Vernon Page, an eccentric landscape gardener, poet and lampoon songwriter, until he married in 1984 with Cargill's blessing. Cargill was a private man, who quietly disliked his famous status. He would shun the awards ceremonies in favour of a quiet evening at home playing mahjong. He never made any public acknowledgment of his private life as he felt that to admit to being gay would damage his professional image. Notwithstanding his reluctance to come out in this respect, Cargill was happy being gay in his private life and his wit when not in the spotlight reflected that. Once, whilst lunching with Ray Cooney, the theatrical impresario, Cargill observed, when a particularly handsome waiter mistakenly removed his soup spoon Cargill responded, "aah look Ray, the dish has run away with the spoon." In the later years of his life, Cargill lived in Henley-on-Thames with his last companion, James Camille Markowski.
The love of his life was his Bentley, a black and dark green model of which only six were ever made. Cargill also had a Mini and often told a story about driving through Barnes one day and on seeing one of the other five Bentley Drop-Heads at the traffic lights, waved furiously at the driver, only to realise that he was driving his Mini that day. In the mid-1980s he changed the Bentley for a Rolls Royce.
Cargill had innumerable pets, including a monkey, a parrot and a wethered sheep. His favourite pets were Ra, a cross-border collie, and Charles, a cat that lived at Spring Cottage and often attacked his house guests in their beds early in the morning by attempting to suckle their nipples, much to the alarm of its victims.
At the time of his death at the age of 77, Cargill was suffering from a brain tumour and was being nursed in a hospice in Richmond, London.[5] In 1995, the year before he died, he had been knocked down by a car in Australia; this fact led to incorrect reports that the cause of his death was a hit-and-run accident.

MINUTES Members Present
Members Absent
Chair Maring called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. and drew Committee members' attention to Attachment B (October 10, 2003) - minutes of the October 7, 2002, meeting. It was moved by Judge Kleven, seconded by Pat Durick, and carried unanimously that the minutes be approved. Information Updates Chair Maring drew attention to Attachment C (October 10, 2003) - the Committee's 2002-2003 Activities Report. She said the report was presented early in the month to a national conference on gender fairness issues. One of the key issues discussed at the conference, she said, was how implementation groups can evaluate progress with respect to recommendations made by gender
fairness task forces and commissions. There was also discussion, she said, of possible ways of funding such efforts in low budget states. With respect to the SBAND membership survey and the law firm self-audit project, she said she had appeared earlier in the year before a meeting of the Association's Board of Governors for purposes of explaining the proposed self-audit and providing information regarding the survey. She said the Board of Governors has decided to support a scaled-back version of the self-audit program,
which will entail providing pertinent information to large firms and publicly recognizing those that participate in the program. She said an annual CLE will also be offered on the subject. She said gender-related questions were added to the membership survey and the survey results were generally presented at the Association's June annual meeting. She noted that the Association is strapped for funds and personnel to commit to significant projects. Staff provided an update concerning progress on the domestic violence benchbook, which was funded with a STOP grant. He said drafting is complete and the benchbook and a related introductory training program will be presented at the Judicial Conference's upcoming November meeting. Justice Maring noted that STOP grant funds are still available to the judiciary and drew attention to the ongoing pilot family law court project in Grand Forks. Judge Kleven said the project has essentially a three year commitment for funding and is working well. Justice Maring observed
that other task forces and implementation groups are using STOP grant funds for a variety of purposes. She noted that Washington is using such funds to provide training for attorneys serving as pro tem judges in domestic violence proceedings and to develop an informational brochure on gender issues. She suggested the Committee should keep the availability of funds in mind and encouraged members to forward any ideas concerning possible projects. Judge Kleven explained that the local domestic violence program in Grand Forks had recently provided a training program to clerks, court reporters, judges, and judicial referees. She said the program was well-received and the cost of a similar program would likely be fairly low. She further explained that the family law court pilot project in Grand Forks involves tracking family
members who are involved in several cases. She said handling of the cases is coordinated to make optimum use of resources and a treatment team is established to work with the family and make recommendations to the judge - most often in an open court hearing. She said the judge then decides whether to incorporate any of the recommendations in the particular judgment. She said the family
court coordinator provides monthly reports to the judges. In response to a question from Pat Durick, Judge Kleven said the process has been very helpful in providing the judge with good, relevant, up-to-date information concerning the family. In response to a question from Justice Maring, Judge Kleven said the makeup of the treatment team varies depending on the family's needs and resources. With respect to the recent establishment of the judicial improvement program, staff said implementation of the program is continuing and an outside entity has been tentatively identified for purposes of compiling and providing improvement survey results to the affected judge. He said bias-related questions were included in surveys for both attorneys and court personnel. Justice Maring observed that the judicial improvement program was discussed at the recent national conference and many members found the program's approach intriguing. She noted, however, that in many states with an improvement or evaluation program for judges, all information gained from surveys is made public, which differs from the confidential nature of North Dakota
survey results. For example, she said, in California the judge's name is not disclosed, but the details of the conduct subject to a complaint is made public. She said disclosure is viewed as a deterrent to biased conduct. With respect to judicial education programs, Justice Maring drew attention to Attachment D (October 10, 2003) - a memorandum from Carla Kolling outlining various education programs conducted by the judiciary which touched directly or indirectly on bias issues. She noted that the recent Judicial Institute included a program on immigration which addressed bias-related issues and
also included a program on the bias-related problems associated with court interpreter practices. She asked that members forward any suggestions for education topics on gender bias or bias in general to Judge Jorgensen, Chair of the Continuing Judicial Education Commission. Action Plan - Remaining Issues Chair Maring next drew attention to Attachment E (October 10, 2003) - "Key Components" and "Initiatives" from Gender Fairness in the Courts: Action in the New Millennium, which the Committee has reviewed over several meetings. She asked whether there is anything in the information that should be the focus of Committee attention in the coming year. With respect to Item 11 in the Key Components (data collection), Justice Maring noted the rcent report by the Attorney General's office concerning domestic violence in North Dakota. She said the report covers a host of topics and is a good resource. Judge Kleven noted that all judges have received the report. Barbara Voglewede wondered whether there are methods in place to ensure that the report's information is distributed as widely as possible. Judith Howard asked whether the report has been made available to domestic violence groups. Staff said the report is distributed to a wide variety of recipients and is available on the Attorney General's website. With respect to data collection, Justice Maring said one topic discussed at the recent national conference was the need to gather information concerning possible gender bias in property distribution in domestic cases. She said gathering such information in North Dakota would be exceedingly difficult. With respect to Item 14 in the Key Components (periodic evaluation of implementation efforts), Justice Maring noted that the tenth anniversary of the Commission's final report is approaching and suggested Committee members give some thought to ways of evaluating North Dakota's progress. She said a number of methods were discussed at the national conference, including new surveys, use of focus groups, and relying on "key informants" - individuals identified
in key areas and asked whether they have observed any changes in practices. She said if funding is needed for an evaluation project, the Committee should consider having a proposal to include in the upcoming judicial branch budget, or should perhaps consider grant funds from some source such as STOP or Byrne grants. She noted there was considerable anti-survey sentiment at the national
conference. Judge Kleven said she would prefer using focus groups if possible. Pat Durick said he would agree with misgivings about a survey since they are generally expensive and statistical accuracy for a small state such as North Dakota is questionable. In response to a question from Justice Maring regarding when to initiate an evaluation project, Committee members generally agreed to consider initial necessary groundwork in early 2004. Handbook/Guide for Court Employees Committee members next reviewed Attachments F and G (October 10, 2003) - a
memorandum concerning possible development of a bias-related guide for court employees and sample guides and handbooks regarding court conduct (including employees) and language. Staff noted the judge's guide to gender fair court proceedings developed earlier by the Committee. He said the guide is focused precisely on judge conduct and, therefore, the format might not lend itself to including information concerning court employees. He said options include
developing a separate guide for court employees or, notwithstanding the current format, revising the judges' guide to include court employees. In response to a question from Judge Riskedahl, staff said there currently is nothing in there Clerks Manual which addresses issues concerning bias or conduct generally. Barbara Voglewede said if there is no pertinent information in the Clerks Manual, it would seem worthwhile to include a supplemental piece addressing bias and conduct issues. Jim Fitzsimmons suggested not revising the judge's guide and developing a guide for court employees that is either separate or included in the Clerks Manual. Pat Durick agreed. Judge Riskedahl agreed and said information concerning the recognition of bias and stereotypes should be
provided in writing for court personnel. Clerk personnel, he said, need to know how to respond to bias issues. Barbara Voglewede said including a guide in the Clerks Manual will also elevate visibility since the manual is the focal point for procedural operation of clerk offices. It was moved by Judge Riskedahl, seconded by Barbara Voglewede, and carried unanimously that staff prepare a draft guide for court personnel for review at the next meeting. Other Topics Chair Maring next requested discussion on any other bias-related topics that might not have been addressed in the Commission's initial work. She drew attention to Attachment I (October 10, 2003) - a memorandum and associated articles regarding custody investigators, mediators, and
gender issues. Judith Howard noted a disturbing frequency of problems associated with the work of custody investigators in domestic cases. Justice Maring noted that the article in Attachment I suggests the need for a standardized format concerning the required elements to be addressed in custody investigator reports. She said the Committee should at least monitor the issue. Jim Fitzsimmons said that during years of representing Native American and low-income clients, he had always considered the presence of a custody investigator as a negative development. He agreed it would be useful to identify the factors that custody investigators must address in their
reports. Justice Maring noted that the state court administrator's office is currently working with the bar association to develop an agreement by which the association will provide training for custody investigators and guardians ad litem. Committee members agreed a letter should be sent to the president of the association, the association executive director, and the state court administrator which emphasizes the importance of including in custody investigator training programs a segment on awareness of cultural, ethnic, race, and gender bias. With respect to a standardized format for custody investigator reports, Committee members agreed such a format could assist in ensuring custody investigators consistently address elements considered necessary and important by the court, and perhaps could aid in minimizing any tendency
to allow bias of any kind to color the custody investigator's recommendations. It was agreed that the custody investigator should, at a minimum, respond to those factors that courts are required to consider in making custody determinations. Following further discussion, Committee members agreed a letter should be sent to the Council of Presiding Judges encouraging the development of a standard report format to be used by custody investigators. In response to a question from Justice Maring, it was agreed that the article included in Attachment I should accompany the letter as a means of further explaining the
importance of standardized reports in addressing bias-related issues. With respect to additional new topics, Justice Maring noted that discussion at the recent national conference highlighted gender issues in immigration, court interpretation, and women in prison. She said the latter issue is particularly compelling with respect to the number of women in prison because of illegal drug use and the consequent concerns about child care, termination of
parental rights, and parenting in prisons. Jim Ftizsimmons said with the incoming new Dean at the Law School it may be an opportune time to encourage a concerted effort within the law school to address bias issues through ethics classes or other means. Barbara Voglewede explained that the legal clinic at the Law School is facing a reduction, but there will still be a civil litigation component. She said clinical training also addresses bias issues and the trial advocacy program includes a fairly concentrated civility component. She said
orientation for first year law students includes emphasis on diversity and civility and professionalism. She said a professionalism course will focus in good measure on civility and ethical and civic duties as a lawyer. Future Meetings Committee members agreed the Committee should meet in early 2004, perhaps in February to consider the possibility of pursuing a project for regional domestic violence training similar to that conducted in Grand Forks. Possible sources of funding, e.g., STOP grant funds, could also be discussed. It was agreed the Committee could then meet again in mid-summer and the fall. Memberships Chair Maring noted that membership terms for Judith Howard and Barbara Voglewede, as well as her own term, will expire in December. She inquired of interest in serving another term. Barbara Voglewede said she is willing to accept reappointment for another term. Judith Howard observed that she had been a member of the Committee since its creation, as well as a member of
the original Gender Fairness Commission. She said it is likely time for someone else to have the opportunity to participate and she would, therefore, decline reappointment. Chair Maring and Committee members thanked Judith for her many years of commitment to the Committee. All agreed she would be missed. Chair Maring will submit a letter to the Chief Justice concerning the memberships. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a.m. _____________________________

"People who grin all the time, you never know what they're up to," says a friend of beer-guzzling, porn-watching, hardcore-show- attending, wheelchair-bound Sumida-san (played by severely handicapped actor Sumida Masakiyo), whose loneliness and repressed rage are about to detonate. Japanese writer-director Gô Shibata's self-described concept of "a handicapped Taxi Driver" subverts the adversity-triumphing disabled character in the same way Crispin Glover's stilted avant-curiosity It Is Fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE. does, with both films failing to convey how seemingly simple men of limited faculties could suddenly become multiple murderers. The more playful yet misanthropic of the two, Shibata's version is best accepted as black-humored artsploitation, as when Nobuko (Mari Torii)—student caregiver and unknowing object of Sumida-san's erotic fantasies—asks whether our anti-hero ever wanted to be normal (his reply, communicated through a phonetic, Stephen Hawking–like device: "I will kill you"). Cult-classically stylized in low-lit, techno-stuttering DV monochromatics that pixilate and distort as if the film shared blood with Tetsuo: The Iron Man (and maybe a few buckets of horror-shlockster Herschell Gordon Lewis's cherry red), Late Bloomer is strangest for genuinely empathizing with the monstrous Sumida-san as if he were the typical disabled lead in an inspirational heartstring-tugger.

Dan Rothstein (Guitar)
Born: USA
The American guitarist, Dan Rothstein, began his guitar studies at age 7, and was performing professionally at age 13. He continued studying both jazz and classical guitar while obtaining a bachelor's degree in music and science from Columbia University. Dan studied classical guitar with Helen Wade and Jonathan Trotta, and jazz guitar with teachers including Ted Makler and John Scofield. Dan Rothstein has performed throughout the eastern USA from Nashville to New England and for many years was based in New York City before moving to his current home in upstate New York with his wife and three children. His 35 years of guitar performance have included many of the significant performing venues in New York City ranging from the Electric Circus in the late 1960's through Max's Kansas City, the Bitter End, La Mama, the Lone Star Café and the Beacon Theater in the 1970's, Gerde's Folk City, Trax, The Bottom Line and The Cotton Club in the 1980's, and The American Institute of Guitar in the 1990's, as a leader, solo performer and supporting a variety of popular artists. After an eclectic guitar career covering a wide range of styles from country/western to R&B music, Dan now focuses exclusively on jazz and classical guitar.
"…As his breathing audibly moves along with the rhythm of each work, his playing comes across honestly, and while often technically stunning, is down-to-earth. When the last notes of Rothstein's work fades, this fusion of musical complexity and straightforward performance leaves listeners with little doubt in Rothstein's versatility and discipline as a musician." - Excerpts from a recent profile of Dan and his solo guitar CD, "Guitar Verité", in the Columbia County (NY) Independent:

Pour mixture back into saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick. Stir constantly and do not let mixture boil. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking 5 to 6 minutes. Stir constantly.
When thick, remove saucepan from heat and stir in liqueur and butter. Pour into clean bowl and cover with sheet of waxed paper. Lift up one corner of paper to create air space and let cool completely. Press waxed paper snug against cream and refrigerate. Use this pastry cream in a variety of recipes.

Get Paid to Refer Other People People that love sending emails and have a lot of friends can sometimes get paid to refer other people to a website or a service. While this seems like a great way to keep your friends and family informed of a helpful product or service you may have discovered it can also come with its own set of dangers that you need to be aware of and keep in mind. Just because you get paid to refer other people does not necessarily mean that those people want to be referred. The first thing you should do is gather a group of your family and friends that all want to get paid to refer other people and start establishing a network of pre-approved referrals that you can send referrals to without any issues. Many people do not mind referrals as long as they are asked up front and with many of you working on developing a single network you should be able to develop a large enough network that you can make a decent amount of money off of and the people being referred are not going to complain. Be very careful about what kind of referral services you refer people to. When you get paid to refer other people you are essentially helping the company you are referring people to build a database of email lists that they can send product and service notices to. Be certain that the company you are dealing with does not have a reputation for putting out harmful emails to the people you refer or else you could get the reputation of referring emails to websites that send out spam emails or spyware. There are plenty of legitimate referral services that can help you get paid to refer other people so make sure you do your research and find them before you do business with any referring website. Never refer an email address that you do not have permission to refer. When you get paid to refer other people to websites your email address and name may accompany the email sent to the person you referred so be certain that you are not referring people that do not want to be referred or else you could be looking at a lot of trouble for yourself in the future. It does not take much work to develop a network of emails you can refer to so be certain to put in the time confirming email addresses before you start referring people to any websites.

COLUMBIA — A jury found Zachariah Peterson guilty of second-degree murder and not guilty of armed criminal action in connection with the January 2011 death of James Porter.
After a two-hour deliberation following a three-day trial, jurors reached and delivered a verdict after Peterson testified Thursday.
Porter was shot five times and found dead Jan. 18, 2011, at Sunset Mobile Home Park, where he and Peterson were middlemen in a drug deal, according to evidence from the first day of testimony.
In his testimony, Peterson admitted that he lied several times during the investigation since January 2011 and told the court what he said Thursday was the truth. Peterson said he lied about his Chevrolet Tahoe's location, which witnesses testified they had seen leave the scene of the crime after Porter was shot. He said he also lied about where he was on the day of the shooting.
Peterson testified that Porter approached Peterson about getting a large quantity of marijuana to sell. Peterson said he knew connections who he could get marijuana from, and he wanted to "plug in" Porter to the business. This was the starting grounds for the drug deal, Peterson said.
*Boone County Assistant Prosecutor Stephanie Morrell said Peterson missed his chance to be truthful with law enforcement.
"He had his opportunity to tell investigators what happened and he didn't," Morrell said, "and then came up with a story that neatly fit around the state's evidence."
Peterson said his reluctance to speak honestly to police was because of past negative experience and general apprehension toward law enforcement.
"I don't like the police; I don't like the detectives," Peterson said. "I never have."
Peterson's former girlfriend, Janessa Potter, who also testified Thursday, said she also had lied to police during the investigation.
Potter was sentenced to five years of probation on the felony charge of hindering a prosecution.
Morrell said she was pleased with the verdict and that she had never heard Peterson mention before Thursday what he testified in court.
"Our contention was we had sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt Mr. Peterson's guilt," Morrell said. "Mr. Peterson's testimony today was the first time we had heard that."
Bryan Rankin, Peterson's father, said he was disappointed with the verdict and plans to fight it.
"I'm not going to rest until this is fixed," Rankin said. "This is wrong; this is wrong the way they did this."
Rankin said he believes that Porter's killer is still at large.
Peterson said he was dishonest during the investigation because he did not want to draw attention to himself or his family, in fear of retaliation by others involved in the drug deal, specifically his connections who could supply the large quantity of marijuana.
"He was trying to protect us, his daughter, his girlfriend at the time," Rankin said. "He said on the stand how (the drug dealers) warned him: 'Keep your mouth shut, you know what we do.' When that's coming from the hood, you know what that means."

This big old world of ours suffers no shortage of edible oddities. Consider the roast guinea pigs Peru or Zanzibar's ant pies, the bird nest soups of southeast Asia. If I told you what tacos were originally meant to hold, you'd never look at a bait shop the same way again. And yet, the weirdest food of all may just be lurking in your refrigerator right now or at the very least your back yard. Mushrooms, like this agaricus bisporous, are strange feed indeed. A fungus at once sinister and yet sublime, they kind of occupy that middle ground between meat and vegetable, between science and superstition, between the pit of man's stomach and the summit of his culinary knowledge. And yet, with the right care and simple cooking, well, mushrooms are welcome citizens in that zone that we're proud to call good eats.
Weird though it may be, the mushroom actually has more in common with an apple than athlete's foot. That's because like an apple a mushroom is a fruiting body, kind of seed delivery device. Only the 'tree' happens to be embedded either in the ground or an old log, whatever it happens to be growing on. Now, these underground trees called 'mycelium' can live for a hundred years and can cover up to an acre of land which makes them some of the largest living creatures on earth.
GUESTS: Mad French Chef Kitchen Apprentice
Like most vegetables mushrooms continue to breathe post harvest. But unlike, say, lettuce, mushrooms don't like holding their breath. Locked away in plastic any mushroom worth its cap is going to sweat itself to gooeyness in a matter of hours. On the other hand, they dry out easily, too. So, the best we can do is play the middle.
Seal in paper bag
Use in 3 - 4 days
Let 'em breath
Lastly, don't wash them until you are ready to cook the mushroom.
MAD FRENCH CHEF: What iz theez craziness you speak about? Zee champignon must never touch zee water. AB: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I hope he knows that this means war.
We've all heard that tired, old, kitchen myth that washing mushrooms waterlogs them rendering them ...
MFC: Inedible! That's it.
Well the way we see it, a fresh mushroom is already like a saturated sponge. So in order to water log it, you'd have to soak it in a lot more water than it would take to just give it a good bath.
MFC: Ridiculous.
To prove the point, I am going to wash these mushrooms while my raving, French colleague cleans the exact same amount his way, the brush. Just to keep things completely scientific we will give mine a weigh both pre and post wash. So, we will know if water has been absorbed. We've got 32 ounces or 2 pounds including the bowl.
AB: Now chef, just to make you feel more at home we've enlisted the aid of a kitchen apprentice for you to squawk at.
MFC: Ah, that's very thoughtful of you. AB: Um, hm. Let's do it. MFC: Alleze! Let's go!
[MFC and Asst. begin to clean the mushrooms with a brush while AB puts them in a colander, rinses under cold water, lays them out on paper towels to air dry and then roles them up for storage]
MFC: Faster!
MFC: I'm fini. Where is that shoemaker? AB: [enters reading a book, sarcastically] What? Time to weigh in already?
Well, it seems that my mushrooms ...
AB: [to MFC] ... which were clean an hour ago ...
... have picked up a hefty 2 ounces or water.
MFC: Uh, huh. There, you see? I win.
AB: Yeah, not so fast, Frenchy. Besides the fact that 2 ounces hardly qualifies as water logged I do declare that I spy a piece of dirt. MFC: Aaaah.
That's 1.5 grams of H2O per 'shroom
If your mushrooms aren't visibly dirty, there's no need to wash them. If they do need a bath, use cold water.
Broil Roast Fry Sauté
Sauté: Small, uniform pieces Small amount of fat High heat Constant movement
1/4 inch thick
Crimini White Oyster Porcini
Shiitake Wood Ear Chanterelle
Heavy Pan High Heat
Dense = Even Heating
Chose the right fat
Now, I know. You're saying butter has a low smoke point. Well, you're right. It does unless it's been clarified. Don't have time to bother? I'll make a deal with you. If I can explain it in one breath you'll do it, okay? Fine. I must prepare. [inhales deeply]
Melt a pound of butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat and slowly cook until the bubbling ceases and the liquid turns clear, 30-40 minutes.
Strain and cool, being sure to leave any solids in the bottom of the pan.
Or, once the butter has cleared, remove from heat and add two inches of hot tap water. Since it's less dense than water, the now clarified butter will float to the top.
A few hours in the fridge will solidify the butter. Use or wrap in wax paper and foil and refrigerate. Can be frozen for up to two months.
See, that was a breeze ... [collapses]. Um, just put an ounce of that butter in the pan. I'm going to catch my breath a little bit, okay? You'll know it's ready when it ripples on the surface.
Because its milk solids have been removed, clarified or "drawn" butter (called Ghee in India) has a higher smoke point than regular butter.
GUESTS: Scientists #1 & #2
Over crowded pans are the number one cause of failed sautés. You see, if the food is all piled up in there then it can't touch the pan. And if it doesn't touch the pan it can't undergo browning, that miraculous set of reactions that create flavor and texture and that, well, neither science nor physics has been able to explain.
AB: [to scientists] Have you? Come on guys. Blind me with science. SCIENTISTS #1 & #2: [run away]
Lab punks. Now, you see here moisture is already seeping out of these mushrooms but the pan is so hot that it's evaporating the second that it hits the fat. And you hear that sound? Ah. That is the music of the sauté. That means that the moisture is being pulled out and it's getting out of the pan in vapor form. And that means that a crust is going to be forming on this food in no time flat. As long as you hear that sound, you are sautéing.
Now, you want to keep things moving around. Just kind of turning things over. But what you want to avoid is that flashy kind of restaurant business of tossing the food around in the air because you know what? Unless you're inside an oven doesn't cook in the air. And we're not in an oven. Okay?
Keep it moving
Just turn things over. And you see this is already starting to get a crust on it. That is what sauté is all about. It doesn't matter if this is a pork chop or shrimp. That is the exact thing that we are looking for.
4 handfuls to a 10 inch pan
Raszh: mushroom crazy
Keep the heat high
Okay, time for another addition so I'm going to move everything back to the outsides of the pan and its starting to look just a little bit dry in there so I'm going to add just a few drops of butter right to the middle of the pan like that and go with another handful. This one is a little bit smaller than the one before. There.
Pinch of Kosher Salt
1 Tbls minced Shallot
mushroom guts
1 Jigger (1 1/2 oz) Cognac
2 tsp chopped chives 3-4 grinds of pepper
Good looking stuff and darn versatile, too. Now besides playing side man to every major entree from steak to scrambled, sautéed mushrooms can fuel a plethora of other dishes from mushroom soup to meatloaf. Now, just about any mushroom is sauté-able as long as it doesn't have a thick woody stem. As a matter of fact, one of my favorites is the Asian newcomer the Shiitake.
It's Japanese for 'wood grown'. You see, shiitakes don't do dirt. They do logs. In fact, if you were to pick up an oak log that a shiitake colony had finished with you'd notice that it feels like balsa; there's just nothing left. Now, we've worked up a pretty good appetite for shiitakes over the last few years. The problem is that once a log has been inoculated it takes years to fruit which just isn't fast enough for our demand. So the answer, faux logs. Wood chip composites with 'shroom spore and 'shroom chow already in the mix. Cuts years to weeks.
To extract the flavor from tough Shiitake stems, steep them in hot stock or broth, then discard.
Having made the ultimate sacrifice our adobe friend over there is on its way to the compost heap but we've got a nice pan full of shiitakes.
Substitute Shiitakes for Criminis in sauté
1/3 Cup Heavy Cream
1/4 Cup Shredded Parmesan
1 tsp dry tarragon
1-2 Tbls bread crumbs
It's now a delicious and stable filler. But, we really don't have anything to fill do we? I don't know. If we could find something around here. Maybe a, I don't know what. What are we going to fill? We're going to fill ... [camera pans to mushrooms on counter] Oh, that's crazy talk. You want to put mushrooms inside mushrooms? That's, that's crazy. You can't ... well, they do have a pretty good shape. They've got a nice little pocket there that we could put the filling ... but you know what? This isn't going to work. These are raw, that's cooked. By the time these did cook the moisture would come out and that stuff would float away. It would be completely ... [camera pans to oven] Roast them, huh? Roast them before we fill ... That could work.
10-12 large white caps
Olive oil to coat
1 tsp each rosemary & thyme 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
heat oven to 350°
10 minutes ... tops!
Oh, I said ten minutes, tops. They were done in eight. You see, sometimes time is not on your side and you've got to actually look at the food.
1 Tbls of filling per cap ... don't pack
Top with more bread crumbs
Heat Broiler to High
Browning will take 3-4 minutes ... tops!
"Portobello" is just marketing-speak for "overgrown Crimini".
Now, despite the fact that computerized, refrigerated trucks and pony express style driver shopping are getting 'shrooms to the store quicker than ever, it still pays to be vigilant right here.
Bulk aren't always better
Beware: condensation un-refrigerated bins misters
As for pre-sliced mushrooms or pre-sliced anything short of loaf bread, just let me remind you: quality and convenience are rarely seen holding hands.
GUEST: Death, aka Joe Black
Foraging for mushrooms is a lot of fun. And heck, anytime you can go out in the woods and find free food has got to be a good thing, right? The trouble is, if you don't know what you're doing, and I mean really know what you're doing, you're basically playing botanical Russian roulette. Because sooner or later you're going to get hold of a bad cap and if that cap happens to be, say, the extremely common yet deceptively docile looking Death Cap, then you're going to end up consuming a wide range of toxins some of which have the habit of things like, say, dissolving your liver into a little puddle of goo ... which I hear doesn't feel very good. To avoid that here are your options: you either take the time and get the training to become an experience mycologist, you forage with an experienced mycologist or you go ahead and set a place at the table for Joe Black.
DEATH: [pops out from behind a tree]
But I assure you, death doesn't look anymore like Brad Pitt than I do. Now, since I am decidedly not an experienced mycologist I stick with store bought mushrooms.
AB: [tosses the basket of hand picked mushrooms over his head which hits Death] DEATH: [staggers back behind the tree]
Now besides riboflavin and potassium, mushrooms contain high concentrations of glutamic acid, a kind of chemical cousin to monosodium glutamate. And that means, besides tasting great all on their own, mushrooms actually have the ability to turn up the flavors of the foods that are cooked with them. Pretty cool, huh? Now, we hope that we've turned up your interest in mushroom cookery. If you're a fungal freshman, just kind of consider this as a primer. Believe me there are far more flavorful caps on down the line: chanterelles, woodiers, puffballs you name it. But, consider this: if you're capable of converting a common crimini into truly good eats, just think of what you'll be able to do the next time you see a porchini pop up in your yard ...
DEATH: [pops up behind AB]
... supermarket. Pop up in your supermarket. That's what I meant to say.
DEATH: [shuffles off]
Now, I'm Alton Brown. This is Good Eats. And, I think he's taking a holiday.

Josh Ravitch: Vouchers undermine public education system
I'm writing in reply to Darrell Allison's guest column about "Opportunity Scholarships," known as school vouchers to those not trying to conceal that fact.
As a single parent of two grown children who spent their entire K-12 years in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district (CHN, http://bit.ly/1cCWCEJ) I may be able to offer some valuable counterpoints into Mr. Allison's arguments. I could write volumes, but I'll stick to making three main points.
1) Let's start by admitting that our public schools are constantly evolving. Public schools in the 1960s and '70s were built around drills involving the "3-R's;" independent, creative thinking mostly was learned at home or when you went off to college. Ditto for advanced concepts in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Nowadays, kids in public schools are learning things we learned in college, and more importantly, are learning critical thinking at a much younger age. New ideas including dual-language programs and IT training and certification classes are constantly percolating in our schools.
While not all public school districts have our resources, they do offer a critical core set of constantly updated competencies not consistently found in private schools, which are not required to meet the same educational standards as public schools and have essentially no public oversight.
2) The Opportunity Scholarship program only subsidizes part of the average private school tuition in North Carolina. Families will have to come up with thousands of dollars to pay for the balance of tuition, as well as supply transportation and lunch, which are not typically provided by private schools.
This means that most of the African-American families whom Mr. Allison claims to want to help will be cut out of the program, and indeed this is backed up by data showing that most of the private schools applying for these programs have historically been greater than 90 percent white. We the taxpayers will have the "opportunity" under the Opportunity Scholarship program to subsidize the private education of rich, white children.
Contrast this to the public school system, where our tax dollars subsidize education, transportation, and lunch for all, including those who can't afford it, all while encouraging diverse populations to mix and learn from each other in a creative, innovative environment. And speaking of innovation…
3) Most of the private school programs that accept vouchers are among the LEAST innovative schools one could imagine. Many are centered around religious indoctrination, often are unaccredited and have few licensed teachers, and don't know how to handle children with special needs, whether behaviorally challenged, disabled, or especially gifted. These children are typically dumped back in the public school system, increasing the trend towards de facto re-segregation.
America has an almost 200-year tradition of pooling our resources, talents, and money to provide a public education system that has helped make us the greatest country on earth, a country where other people aspire to come, share in, and help enrich our system. Let's continue to work together to move that system forward and build a bright future for our children.

observer ONLINE
by P.Krishnaswamy
Jaffna, the heartland of the Northern Tamils now bustling with activity, will join hands with the rest of the country to celebrate the 64th Independence Day on February 4 in a peaceful atmosphere, Additional GA Rubini Varadalingam told the Sunday Observer. No boycotts or protests have been reported, unlike earlier, she said.
With the displaced people being resettled in their original homes livelihood assistance extended, the provision of infrastructure facilities and many development projects under way, the province is turning a new leaf, coming out of the dark era of gloom and despair due to three decades of terrorism and uncertainties, she said.
Independence Day celebrations followed by lectures on state sector services for the public have been organised at all Government Offices, schools and public institutions, the Additional GA said.
The transport network has been improved with rehabilitation and reconstruction of roads, facilitating transportation of agricultural produce from the district to the South, she said.

We thought about the things that matter to you when we created the new Volvo Business Edition. Useful things like Satellite Navigation and Bluetooth. Helpful things like Rear Park Assist. And important things, like a lower OTR price to keep costs and BIK down. So don't be too British about it, it makes total business sense. Enjoy all the well-earned perks of the Volvo Business Edition. It's designed around you.

cloud server hosting
Cloud server hosting is a type of hosting in which hosting services are made available to customers on demand via the Internet. Rather than being provided by a single server or virtual server, cloud server hosting services are provided by multiple connected servers that comprise a cloud. Cloud server hosting is also sometimes referred to as cluster server hosting or server on-demand hosting.
Cloud server hosting offers the advantages of increased accessibility and reliability, seamless scalability and potential cost savings, as customers are freed from having to invest in on-premises servers and hardware, and they pay only for the resources they consume. On the other hand, security and lack of access and full control are potential concerns with cloud server hosting.
