Gee, that's a lot of carbs. I can't eat like that. I would eat beans with brown rice, broccolli, salad with olive oil/vigniagrette dressing. Comfort foods taste good, but they don't do a body good.
Needs, eh? Well, alrighty then.
You are reading things into it. You don't want to feel bad about things strangers write, do you? All tone is lost in writing. But if I was judgmental, and you felt angry towards me, it would not be my problem. If something upsets us, we have to look within. Can't change the world, only oneself.

According to a report from Virginia State Police Trooper P.K. Cheek, Suemay Melcher, 75, of Woodlawn, was pulling into a parking spot at the post office on March 17 when she attempted to slow the car down. "Unfortunately, she hit the gas pedal instead of the brake," Cheek said.

She was released on bond pending her appearance in the Galax General District Court.

And she has great transition game and net game. And she is a great defender and counter-puncher. And she can pull opponents to the net and eat them alive there. And she has a decent first serve and very very good kick second serve. And I saw her match when she did exactly 2 unforced errors playing attacking tennis. But wait, there is more. She has a very high tennis IQ. During warm-up against unknown opponent she conducts real research and comes up with a game plan. So she may play totally different against opponent A and opponent B. She is 13. On the negative side she sometimes may be frustrated and lose her cool.
So there is a little bit of competition for the "next woman Federer" title or rather next Henin title. I doubt that Emira can do half of what Caroline can do on the court.
I guess we have to wait to see... Maybe both will quit tennis in a few years and this comparison will then be moot.

'Pathway to Glory' to recognize unsung martyrs at Bagumbayan
More News from Jeannette I. Andrade
MANILA, Philippines — An offhand remark about hundreds of unrecognized and unidentified Katipuneros executed in Bagumbayan (now Luneta Park) in a meeting between Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim and officials of the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC) led to the building of a memorial path of the forgotten martyrs at the national park.
Sunday morning's inauguration of the Pathway to Glory at the Heroes' Square of the Luneta Park became the centerpiece of the 441st founding anniversary of Manila, considered the seedbed of the country's independence.
The concrete path winding through the 2,500-square meter area, previously the Chess Plaza, is lined with 50 black granite tablets bearing the names of the Katipuneros executed during the Spanish colonial era at the same site. The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) estimates that 800 revolutionary martyrs were executed in Bagumbayan, including the priests Jose Burgos, Jacinto Zamora, and Mariano Gomes or collectively known as Gomburza.
Of the 50 tablets, only 20 have been filled with the names of the 73 executed Katipuneros who have, so far, been identified by the NHCP. The agency is still working to fill up the 33 blank granite tablets with names of the other martyrs.
The memorial walk was practically Lim's brainchild, NPDC communications and media bureau chief Kenneth Montegrande told the Philippine Daily Inquirer, pointing out that the idea was from a comment made by Manila Mayor Lim during one of the events at the park three months ago.
Lim, he revealed, had told NPDC executive director Juliet Villegas that apart from the national hero Jose Rizal, there were so many other revolutionaries, including Gomburza and Trece Martires (Thirteen Martyrs), who were executed in Bagumbayan and who should be recognized and remembered.
Thus the path of remembrance was born. The NPDC, continually working to restore Luneta Park into its status as the national park, adapted the concept and coordinated with the NHCP, the Intramuros Administration (IA) as well as the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) to search for the identities of the Bagumbayan martyrs.
In Sunday's inauguration of the Pathway to Glory, which was timed with Araw ng Maynila, Lim was invited as the guest of honor and was bestowed the honor of cutting the ribbon to officially open the area to the public along with Villegas, IA administrator Jose Capistrano, and NHCP executive director Ludovico Badoy.
The path where the Katipuneros are being honored was the same spot where they were executed one and a half centuries ago.
Lim, in his speech, said in Filipino, "This is the same sacred ground watered by the blood of our heroes fighting for our freedom." He expressed gratitude to Villegas for preserving the sanctity of the site and for enabling thousands of park visitors a feel of the country's history.
He pointed out that almost all Filipinos were aware of Rizal's execution at Bagumbayan. "But there were so many others who were executed here fighting for our independence. Hundreds of Katipuneros, including Gomburza and Trece Martires."
He encouraged students around Manila to explore the pathway and ponder on the sacrifice of the Katipuneros that won for us our freedom.
Montegrande told the Inquirer, "The Pathway to Glory memorial is a walk of remembrance that is seen as a source of intellectual and spiritual upliftment among park visitors, both Filipinos and foreigners. It is envisioned that this public art will provide a sense of historical continuity in Rizal Park as present day park visitors will be made aware of what transpired in this hallowed ground."
He added, "It will also serve as a continuing reminder for Filipinos that what we enjoy today are the fruits of our forefathers' courage, sacrifice and love for the country."

The UW-River Falls Wyman Series will present speaker Rebekka Armstrong, an HIV positive Playboy Playmate, and the story of her life, "A Fight For Life," on Oct. 7, at 8 p.m., in the North Hall Auditorium.
At age 18, Armstrong had fulfilled her dream of becoming a Playboy Playmate when she appeared in "Playboy" magazine as Miss September 1986. Her life in Hollywood was that of a star; going to parties, a six-figure income, and a beach house. She was offered movie deals, commercials, and modeling jobs.
Little did she know that the unprotected sex she had as a teen with a young man she had met on a summer beach vacation had left her with HIV and then full blown AIDS.
Armstrong has fought the virus for over 17 years, and has dedicated her life to educating others about the consequences of unsafe sex and alcohol abuse as it relates to impaired judgment and the reality of AIDS.
Wyman Series events are open to students and the public. The cost for the event is free. For more information contact the UW-RF Leadership Center at 715/425-4911.

Tri-Cities BaconFestRead MoreOn September 1, Bristol Motor Speedway will be buried under one ton of bacon. At the first annual Tri-Cities BaconFest, the pungent pork will be served up in a multitude of ways: Visitors can snag it for free at bacon stations during three tasting times, sample it in vendors' bacon-infused desserts and entrees, or attempt to shovel down three pounds of it to claim the title Lord of the Bacon during the Man vs. Bacon eating contest. Other swine-themed events include the Dick's Sporting Goods Pigskin Challenge, where preregistered participants aged 5 and up test their throwing arms on an accuracy obstacle course. At the hog-calling competition, shouters stretch their lungs as they imitate the sounds of hogs and, later, the sounds of hogs imitating celebrities. The family-friendly event will donate part of its proceeds to the Bristol Speedway Children's Charities, a nonprofit organization that raises contributions for educational, financial, social, and medical causes.PO Box 343Jonesborough, Tennessee US
Masterpiece Mixers- Johnson CityRead MoreThe instructors at Masterpiece Mixers Paint & Party Studio supply the canvases, paints, and brushes, requiring visitors to bring only their creativity. At studios located around Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Massachusetts, they lead all-level painting classes that last from 90 minutes to three hours, and focus on subjects ranging from the natural, such as birds and flowers, to still-life guitars, vases, and wine bottles. In some themed sessions, instructors also teach groups to paint abstract pieces or create their own variations on famous landscape paintings that, unlike the originals, can include dinosaurs. Some sessions follow a special date-night structure. At every location, the staff members encourage visitors to bring their own wine, beer, and snacks if desired.101 East Unaka Ave, Suite 6Johnson City, TN US
Appalachian Trail ConservancyRead MoreThe Appalachian Trail stretches from Georgia to Maine, running 2,180 miles over mountains, rocky slopes, and deep valleys. Since it was established in 1925, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) has cared for the trail, maintaining 250,000 acres of public land. The organization educates hikers on Leave No Trace camping and why it's not a good idea to challenge a bear to a hugging contest. Volunteers and trail crews build and repair shelters along the footpath and engage youth and community members in outdoor activities.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I Love It!
My fiance and I recently ordered the Something Blue magnets and changed the colors to blush, creme, and gold- our wedding colors. They came out perfect! I loved how the magnets were completely customizable. Customer Service was very helpful and the proofs were available so quickly. I would recommend this product and company to every person I know!
Great product!
The Something Blue design turned out just as I was expecting! I would recommend getting the taller version as more of your picture is shown. MagnetStreet did an awesome job, and I would highly recommend them to any other bride. Even the packaging they sent our save the dates in was really cute!
Exactly what I ordered.
They turned out just the way the preview showed they would.
Beautiful, easy invites!
These invites are beautiful and so easy! The customization turned out exactly as I'd hoped. Replaced the white on the front and the light blue on the inside with Navy blue. Switched the lace pattern to champagne and ivory and made the small light blue stripe on the front ivory. All the beauty of a pocket invite without the hours of assembly. The paper was high quality and we have received a ton of compliments on how nice they are.
We used magnet street for our save the dates as well as our invitations. I am so happy with them. The site is really easy to navigate as you are designing and personalizing as well as the staff very helpful. You can pretty much do anything you would like. Make it as simple or as extreme as you would like. The quality of the product is awesome too. They are more then willing to send you samples and are always giving you discounts to use. Keeps you coming back for more. We absolutely loved all our stationary.

We've got Swin!
Swin Cash (12:15 PM)
Hello to all the fans out there. I'm excited to get this chat started so let's go!
Brad (Gadsden,Alabama)
Swim, Do you have any pre-game rituals?
Swin Cash (12:16 PM)
If at all possible, I like to eat the same meal before each game and I always listen to my music in a certain way. I start out with gospel, then a little R
Angela (vanwhoo22) (Renton, WA)
How does it feel to play against your storm teamates during Worlds?
Swin Cash (12:18 PM)
(Laughing) It was a lot of fun. I got the chance to see Lauren right after our shootaround. I gave her a big hug and told her tonight we're enemies but off the court it's still all love.
kevin (macon ga)
What do you think of the Belarus skirt style uniforms?
Swin Cash (12:20 PM)
(Laughing) Well from what my teammates said, the Belarus team think they are starting a new trend. But as my teammate Diana Taurasi said, it's been done before. I say if it looks good and feels good then go for it!
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
What WNBA team do you look forward to face each year?
Swin Cash (12:22 PM)
I love to play them all. I love playing this game and I appreciate each opportunity that I get to step on the court. Playing in Seattle, I would have to say our biggest rivalry is with the Sparks. Plus Los Anegels isn't a bad place to visit during the summer.
tollick (Seattle)
What are you planning on doing this winter? Playing ball anywhere?
Swin Cash (12:24 PM)
Right now, I'm going to take a little bit of a rest. I'll focus more on television work, my charity Cash For Kids, and perusing different business ventures. But I haven't ruled out playing oversees before the start of the WNBA season.
Mark (Philadelphia)
How does it feel to play with so many of your Connecticut Alum and of course your college coach.
Swin Cash (12:25 PM)
It's a comfort level that you have when you've played with these players before. So far, I think it has really helped us with the success of our team has had at the Worlds.
kevin (macon ga)
Liz Cambage of Australia is really big and did well against the US. Do you think she has what it takes to make it in the WNBA?
Swin Cash (12:28 PM)
I think she's a phenomenal young talent. I think any WNBA coach would chop at the bits to get her. If she gets the opportunity to work with a coach that can help her skills grow on the court, I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up as one of the best players in the world at some point.
Adita (SF, CA)
How did you all celebrate the big win in Atlanta?
Swin Cash (12:29 PM)
I didn't really have time to celebrate with teammates because the next morning we had an early flight back to Seattle. But the next day we had a team celebration in Seattle with our fans.
Swin Cash (12:32 PM)
Thanks to all the fans for sending in questions. I like to send a special shoutout to all my Seattle Storm fans and everyone who follow me on Twitter, Facebook and at www.SwinCash.com. God Bless and Go Team USA!!!

I'm using blix for a new site, and the header has the following code which makes some pages "singlecol" and other pages double (allowing for the sidebar). Since I am only using the sidebar on the home (index.php) page, I want everything else to be "singlecol." Does anyone know how I can modify this code correctly? I made a few stabs at it myself, but I either got error messages, or nothing happened... (I'm not very good at this!)

Hamm: 'The gold's gone for sure'
Updated: August 20, 2004, 11:16 AM ETBy Seth Wickersham | ESPN The Magazine
ATHENS, Greece -- Hamm? No, Hamm was out of it. Everyone knew.
The American had just taken his chance at a gold medal and tossed it like a stone into the Mediterranean, stumbling off the vault like a man stepping on his own shoe lace, nearly falling onto the judges' table the way basketball players do when trying to save a loose ball. His hopes were hopeless.
Sure, Paul Hamm had pulled an Elway before, coming back from a separated shoulder last year to win the World Championships, ...

Paris, France
My Rating
I love the paintings of Claude Monet, knowing his house and the garden that inspired his paintings was a wonderful experience. However I think it was too much time to do it. I think a combination of Versailles and Giverny can have the best of both places in one day.
Paris, France
My Rating
Knowing the castle and principal gardens its a good experience. The tour through the Trianons although a nice place to be, I would have prefer using that time to go to Giverny which is nearby to see the gardens that inspired Claude Monet's paintings.
Paris, France
My Rating
Musée d'Orsay its a must do while in Paris. Skipping the line and having a 2 hour guided tour makes it a joyful expereience.

The committee are making initial arrangements for our yearly speaker meeting and AGM. This initial notice is very much to allow for forward planning. This year's meeting will be taking place on the 22nd of October at Trinity College in Oxford. The arrangements for the day have yet to be finalised, but based on previous years we would expect the formal AGM business to take place early in the afternoon, with talks and TeX-related discussion surrounding that. Suggestions for talk titles, topics for discussion and so on are very welcome.
The UK TeX Users' Group (UK-TUG) periodically runs training courses in using LaTeX. We are very pleased to announce a presentation of our beginners course, loosely entitled 'Using LaTeX to write a thesis'. Content will include:
- Editing and compiling LaTeX documents
- Logical structure
- Chapters, sections, and other document divisions
- Including graphics
- Creating tables
- Bibliographies
- Dealing with large documents
The course will be taking place on Friday August 26th in central London, and will run from approximately 10 a.m. to around 5 pm. The course will be aimed at new LaTeX users, with an emphasis on hands-on experience. The course will take place on user's own laptops: remember to bring one along on the day!
The course fee is £10 for current UK-TUG members, and £25 for non-members. The fee includes the course itself, refreshments on the day and a copy of the TeX Live 2010 DVD. For non-members, it also includes membership of UK-TUG for until the end of 2012.
Places are strictly limited by the size of the venue. To book a provisional place, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with your details. The course fee and (for non-members) a copy of the membership form should then be sent to Joseph Wright, UK-TUG Secretary. Payment should be sent within two weeks of making a provisional booking, otherwise the space may be released. We will also hold a 'reserve' list of names if the course reaches capacity: experience suggests that the course will book up very rapidly.
The UK-TUG beginners' LaTeX course continues to be popular. Each time it is presented, there are minor adjustments to be made to the material. This is a collaborative process, and UK-TUG is keen that other people can benefit from and contribute to our work. The most current version of the material used for the course has therefore been made available on GitHub. Feel free to use the material, make suggestions or indeed volunteer to help run courses!
Tags: Training
Yesterday's LaTeX beginners course was well-attended: 22 students came for the full-day of experience with LaTeX. The course was led by four volunteers from UK-TUG, and this seemed to work very well. For those people who could not make it, the slides and handouts are available in PDF format, or you can download the LaTeX source for both.
We'll be looking at the possibility of running a similar course again later in the year. There is already a waiting list for information, so if you are interested please do drop the committee a line.
As anticipated, our LaTeX for Beginners course is now fully-booked. As with the previous course, we will be maintaining a list for any spaces which do become available, and are also already planning yet another presentation of the same material for later in the year. So do e-mail to express your interest!
The UK TeX Users' Group (UK-TUG) periodically runs training courses in using LaTeX. We are very pleased to announce a presentation of our beginners course, loosely entitled 'Using LaTeX to write a thesis'. The course will cover topics such as:
- Setting up LaTeX on a computer
- Creating basic documents
- Logic structure in LaTeX documents
- Including graphical material
- Bibliographies
- LaTeX Q&A
The course will be taking place on Friday April 15th in central Cambridge, and will run from approximately 10 a.m. to around 4:30 pm. The course will be aimed at new LaTeX users, with an emphasis on hands-on experience. We will be using a computer lab equipped with Windows PCs, but there will the opportunity to set up your system to use LaTeX. More details about the full programme for the day will be circulated to participants nearer to the course date.
Places are strictly limited by the size of the venue. To book a provisional place, please e-mail email@example.com with your details. The non-refundable course fee (£10) and the a copy of the membership form should then be sent to Joseph Wright, UK-TUG Secretary. (The course fee includes membership of UK-TUG for 2011.) Payment should be sent within two weeks of making a provisional booking, otherwise the space may be released. We will also hold a 'reserve' list of names if the course reaches capacity: experience suggests that the course will book up very rapidly.
The course material is intended as a general introduction to using LaTeX. However, it is useful to have some idea about the interests of those attending, as this enables us to prepare for at least some of the potential questions. A brief outline of your background is therefore encouraged along with your booking. It is also useful to know what operating system you usually use, as this is useful when preparing instructions on how to set up LaTeX for your own systems.
Members will be receiving their latest Baskerville and TeX Live 2010 DVDs over the next few days. In the same mailing is the renewal form for 2011. Membership for this year is £10, and a form is included in the mailing. Alternatively, you can get an electronic copy from the membership page.
The results of voting on the three motions put to the SEGM were as follows:
- Motion 1. 27 for, 0 against, 0 abstentions
- Motion 2. 27 for, 0 against, 0 abstentions
- Motion 3. 25 for, 1 against, 1 abstentions
In addition, the committee received two e-mails containing votes which were outside of the period of the SEGM, which are therefore regarded as invalid.
All three motions are therefore passed. There will be a separate notice shortly regarding renewal of membership for next year (2011).
The Committee has called a Special Electronic General Meeting (SEGM) of UK-TUG, to run from 29/11/2010 (00:01) to 05/12/2010 (23:59), inclusive. Attendance of members at the recent AGM was not sufficient to hold a formal vote on the motions put to that meeting, and an SEGM is therefore being held to allow voting to take place.
Three motions are to be considered at the SEGM:
- That this meeting approves the accounts for 2009–10.
- That this meeting delegates authority to appoint an inspector for the 2010–11 accounts to the Committee, who shall decide after taking advice from the Treasurer.
- That the membership fee for 2011 be £10 for all individual members (apart from life members), and that there be no additional entrance fee.
As previously detailed, these motions are all necessary for the day to day administration of UK-TUG. At the AGM, informal discussion about all three took place and the members present indicated their support for all of the motions.
Discussion at the SEGM should take place on the 'announce' mailing list (firstname.lastname@example.com). Messages posted by members to this list concerning the SEGM will be sent out to all members.
Voting on the motions for the SEGM will take place by members posting to the 'committee' e-mail address (email@example.com). In contrast to discussion e-mails, these votes will only be seen by the committee. For each motion, members should indicate whether they are voting FOR, AGAINST a motion, or ABSTAIN from voting. Votes will only be counted if received by the Committee via firstname.lastname@example.com during the time frame of the SEGM.
Start of the SEGM
An e-mail will be sent to the 'announce' list the day before the SEGM starts. This will include a voting form for the three motions to be considered.
As reported earlier, Jonathan Fine presented his final report as Chairman of UK-TUG yesterday at our AGM. He has now made this available electronically, and it can be seen in PDF format or as the TeX source, but you can also read it here:
I have been Chair of the UK TeX Users Group for four years now and am not standing for re-election. Although not a founding member of UKTUG I joined it in its first year (1990), have served on the committee for several years, and in particular organised several effective and well attended meetings and written many articles for our journal Baskerville during the 1990s.
In this report, in addition to recent news, I will take a longer view. In 1990 there were 12.4 million mobile (then called cellular) phones. Last year there were approximately 4.6 billion, 370 times as many. In 1989 the USA had its first commercial dial-up access internet service provider, and in 1992 Congress allowed the National Science Foundation funded network to interconnect with commercial networks. In 1990 there were 313,000 internet host computers. In 2009 there were 681 million, which is 2,175 times as many.
In 1990 and 1991 Tim Berners-Lee started the World Wide Web while at CERN. In 1993 there was Mosaic, the first widespread graphical web browser and approximately 600 web sites. By 1996 there were about 100,000 of which half were dot-com. Also in 1996 two PhD students at Stanford (Larry Page and Sergey Brin) started the research project that became Google, which last year had a profit of $6.5 billion from a revenue of $23.6 billion.
Facebook was launched in February 2004 and by July this year it had over 500 million active users and estimated revenues of $0.8 billion. It is estimated that there are 6.9 billion people alive now, so about 1/14 are on Facebook and about 2/3 have a mobile phone.
In short, over the past 20 years humanity has built an electronic communication network that reaches most of the globe and is used by perhaps a majority of the world's population. This system now embraces person-to-person communication (as in the telephone), broadcast communication (as in newspapers, radio and television) and also distribution of books, film and recorded music.
All this is not possible without agreed behaviour, without standards. The world's oldest international organisations are the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine (1816), the International Telecommunication Union (1869) and the Universal Postal Union (1874). For example, prior to the UPU a letter sent abroad often needed stamps of several countries on it.
In 1977, when Don Knuth starting working on TeX, paper was by far the dominant medium for written communication. Books, letters, bills, newspapers, timetables, tickets, advertisements, diaries, logbooks are all examples. Punched cards and paper were used for textile looms (1725, Jacquard 1801), ticker tape (1870), 1890 US census (Hollerith) and player pianos (flourished 1896–1930). Hollerith was a founder of what became IBM. In 1977 paper was in libraries the dominant media for data storage, along with vinyl for music. Around then the Betamax and VHS video tape formats were introduced.
At that time academic, scientific, government and commercial data processing were major users of electronically stored written information. Now ordinary people are major users. In 1980 IBM produced the first gigabyte capacity hard drive, the size of a fridge, 550 lbs and $40,000. Today £50 will buy a 1 terabyte hard drive, and £5 a 2 gigabyte USB drive. The source file
tex.webfor TeX occupies about 1 megabyte.
Typesetting is an early example of this move from paper to digital media. Prior to the rise of phototypesetting (shining light through negative images of characters onto photographic film) in the 1970s, hot metal typesetting was often used to create a single original which could be photographed and used to produce offset lithoplates. Phototypesetting was, in turn, replaced by digital typesetters (in important ways similar to modern laser printers) driven by a computer.
This was the situation when Don Knuth started working on TeX in 1977. There were computers and phototypesetters, and a software gap. TeX and Metafont admirably filled this gap, particularly for mathematical content. PostScript was developed by John Warnock and released by Abode in 1982. PDF followed in 1993. Digital typesetting is now taken for granted. We generate our PDF file, send it to a print supplier, who then returns thousands of printed copies.
Today many people prefer to receive written communication electronically, as text or chat message, email, web-page or PDF. Much typeset material is read on-screen and is seldom printed. And the web-page is a major medium for written communication. Last year Google bought a disused paper mill in Finland, for conversion into a data centre, at a total cost of $260 million. All for storage and transmission of digital information.
Although paper is far from dead, this enormous shift from paper to electronic media is of immense importance for the TeX community. Sadly, we are barely coping. Translation of LaTeX to XML and vice-versa is not straightforward. The problems of mathematical content on web pages have hardly been solved. Installation and running of TeX requires a long download and many technical skills. The LaTeX3 project, started in 1993, is still far from completion.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) provides us with a new opportunity. I describe it as PDF for web pages, with some elements of Flash. Although the W3C adopted SVG as a standard in 2001, it is not yet widely used due to non-adoption by Microsoft. But that is changing. All modern browsers support SVG, including Internet Explorer 9, but not IE7 and IE8.
SVG, together with web fonts, allow TeX quality typesetting to be displayed as a scalable part of a web page on many modern browsers. For IE7 and IE8 emulations are available. (For graphical material Google's svgweb translates SVG in the browser to Flash. For typeset matter HTML, CSS and webfonts provide a better emulation. The MathJax software gives an excellent example of what can be done now.)
There are many important challenges and opportunities facing use, besides SVG. Improved documentation and training, translation to and from XML, simplified installation, Unicode support are examples. But SVG is special for two reasons. First, it gives us an opportunity to establish TeX as the definitive means of rendering mathematics both for display on web pages and for print. Second, SVG will become the major medium for reading typeset material on web pages and elsewhere. For example, every EPUB reader must support SVG.
This, then, is my view of the past 20 years, which roughly speaking encompasses the life of the UK TeX Users Group, and of some of the challenges facing us now.
In the past four years we have made steady progress. When I became Chair things were so bad that there was open talk of dissolving the organisation. We instituted a subscription holiday and set up a projects fund to reduce our considerable surplus. Broadly speaking both have done well. We have shown ourselves able to spend money on supporting TeX in the UK and more widely. The AGM is being asked to end the subscription holiday.
We have funded two projects in 2007–8. We provided Jonathan Kew £1,600 for the TeXworks integrated development environment, which was completed and is now part of TeX distributions. We also provided £1,700 (with a second equal instalment on receipt of a progress report) to add Unicode maths support to Latin Modern and the TeXGyre font collection (a project led by Hans Hagen). Here there seems to be no progress and no expenditure.
We have replaced our previous rather quirky constitution with something that will serve us better. We have held some fairly successful meetings, and earlier this year we organised LaTeX training.
Particular thanks are due to David Saunders, who has been an excellent Treasurer, a steady and reliable voice, and who led greatly on the new Constitution; to Joseph Wright, who has ably managed our web-site, handled membership and much administration, ran LaTeX training with Nicola Talbot (who is is also thanked); and to Jonathan Webley who with much independent effort has restarted our magazine Baskerville.
I wish all new and continuing committee members and our new Chair, Alun Moon, all the best for the coming years.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) constituted by the World Meteorological Organisation provides expert guidance regarding scientific and technical aspects of the climate problem. Since 1990 IPCC has, at five-yearlyintervals, assessedand reported on the current state of knowledge and understanding of the climate issue. These reports have projected the behaviour of the Asian monsoon in the warming world. While the IPCC Second Assessment Report (IPCC, 1996) on climate model projections of Asian/Indian monsoon stated ``Most climate models produce more rainfall over South Asia in a warmer climate with increasing CO2'', the recent IPCC (2001) Third Assessment Report states ``It is likely that the warming associated with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will cause an increase in Asian summer monsoon variability and changes in monsoon strength.''
Climate model projections(IPCC, 2001) also suggest more El Niño – like events in the tropical Pacific, increase in surface temperatures and decrease in the northern hemisphere snow cover. The Indian Monsoon is an important component of the Asian monsoon and its links with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, northern hemisphere surface temperature and Eurasian snow are well documented.
In the light of the IPCC globalwarming projections on the Asian monsoon, the interannual and decadal variability in summer monsoon rainfall over India and its teleconnections have been examined by using observed data for the 131-year (1871–2001) period. While the interannual variations showyear-to-year random fluctuations, thedecadal variations reveal distinct alternate epochs of above and below normal rainfall. The epochs tend to last for about three decades. There is no clear evidence to suggest that the strength and variability of the Indian Monsoon Rainfall (IMR) nor the epochal changes are affected by the global warming. Though the 1990s have been the warmest decade of the millennium(IPCC, 2001), the IMR variability has decreased drastically.
Connections between the ENSO phenomenon, Northern Hemisphere surface temperature and the Eurasian snow with IMR reveal that the correlations are not only weak but have changed signs in the early 1990s suggesting that the IMR has delinked not only with the Pacific but with the Northern Hemisphere/Eurasian continent also. The fact that temperature/snow relationships with IMR are weak further suggests that global warming need not be a cause for the recent ENSO-Monsoon weakening.
Observed snow depth over theEurasian continent has been increasing, which could be a result of enhanced precipitation due to the global warming.

|Sociocultural tailoring in breast cancer websites: a content analysis
|Herrman-Rose, Brandi
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The purpose of this study is to examine breast cancer websites to determine the extent to which sociocultural cues, relevant to African Americans, are used to convey information in websites. Sociocultural factors include collectivism, spirituality/religiosity and racial pride. This study uses a unique search option to determine the extent to which breast cancer websites target African American women with these sociocultural cues. African American women are a high-risk segment for breast cancer; therefore, it is important to examine the extent to which message cues that resonate with this segment are used in breast cancer websites. The study adds to existing literature by comparing the presence of sociocultural factors in government, nonprofit and commercial websites that provide information about breast cancer. The goal is to determine whether or not differences exist in both the frequency and type of sociocultural factors on these sites. The method was a content analysis of 50 breast cancer websites. Ethnic targeting of African Americans was present in some of the websites coded, though the use of targeting varied from zero to 2,672. There was limited use of sociocultural cues; collectivism was the most dominant cue used, followed by spirituality and racial pride. There were no instances of religiosity. In short, while there is a moderate use of targeting, sociocultural cues that resonate with African Americans are largely absent in breast cancer websites.

Euro 2012: England 'play like Italy,' says Leonardo Bonucci
Euro 2012: England v Italy
- Venue: Olympic Stadium, Kiev
- Date: Sunday, 24 June
- Kick-off: 19:45 BST
Coverage: BBC One, BBC One HD, BBC Sport website and BBC Radio 5 live
Leonardo Bonucci believes England will copy Italy's style of play in their Euro 2012 quarter-final on Sunday.
England were managed by Fabio Capello until he resigned in February, and have maintained a disciplined tactical approach under successor Roy Hodgson.
England v Italy meetings
- March 2002: England 1-2 Italy
- November 2000: Italy 1-0 England
- October 1997: Italy 0-0 England
- June 1997: England 2-0 Italy
- February 1997: England 0-1 Italy
Centre-back Bonucci said: "England have become more like an Italian team thanks to Capello and other Italian managers in the Premier League.
"They have improved a lot over the last two years."
Bonucci, 25, is poised to start the quarter-final for Italy after Juventus team-mate Giorgio Chiellini was ruled out with a thigh injury.
While he will be tasked with keeping England striker Wayne Rooney quiet, he believes Cesare Prandelli's side start as favourites.
"England are defending better, and can play on counter-attacks," Bonucci added.
"England are made up of top-class players. It's not only Rooney.
"When I was coach of USA, we beat Italy 1-0 in Genoa but they are a good side. They are a team in transition, with Cesare Prandelli changing the system, making them more attacking-minded. They have more youth players coming in but a lot of quality and experience. We will see a very exciting game on Sunday."
"But we've been playing probably better so far."
Bonucci was on hand to calm Mario Balotelli down earlier this week, when the Manchester City striker began to celebrate his late goal against Ireland in typically flamboyant fashion.
But the defender has backed Balotelli to do his talking on the pitch and cause England problems - if selected to start by Prandelli.
"I played with Mario on Inter's youth squad and I know him better than anyone else here," Bonucci said.
"He was just 17 but I was already scolding him back then. That's just how he is, and that's why I took care of him during the celebration against Ireland. And he then thanked me for that.
"Unfortunately sometimes he does crazy things. He's spontaneous but he's a good kid.
"If he can smile a bit more, he's a player who can make the difference for us. He's unpredictable, he's strong and he's powerful.
"Physically and technically, he can be very dangerous to the England team.
"I don't know yet if he can be in the starting line-up because this is our manager's decision.
"But, if he trains in the proper way, I think he can really be useful to beat England."

Welcome to my website! I am Boris N. Nikolaev, PhD. I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Oxford College of Emory University. Currently, I teach courses in Microeconomics, Intermediate Microeconomics, and the Economics of Happiness (syllabus). I have written articles on topics related to economic development, subjective well-being, new institutional economics, education, and political economy. I am available as an economic and well-being consultant. On this webpage you will find information about my research, teaching, and a little more.
My current research specializes in examining the role of good governance (and political institutions) in promoting quality of life through policies that foster economic development. An important question here is what do we mean by well-being or quality of life (and how do we measure it)? Traditionally, economists have used more objective measures such as national (and personal) income, unemployment, crime rates, and life expectancy. But in recent years, there has been a shift in economic thinking (although still not widely accepted) that has emphasized the importance of how people feel about their lives, or their subjective well-being. While I think that traditional indicators of economic prosperity are still the most important gauge of economic prosperity, I also believe that subjective well-being data reveal important information about quality of life that shouldn't be ignored. Thus, I use some alternative measures for quality of life. Broadly speaking, the first set of measures is based on the psychological notion of subjective well-being. These measures include concepts like life satisfaction (or life evaluation) but also short term hedonic experiences such as joy, anger, depression, etc. The second set of measures is based on the philosophical notion of "capabilities" — objective measures of income, education, safety, environmental quality, health, and community.
For example, the United States today is far richer than it was at the beginning of the twentieth century or even in the 1970's. Yet, the gap between the rich and poor is also at a historically high level (only comparable to what happened prior to the Great Depression). Millions of people have expressed their discontent with the current level of income inequality through the Occupy Wall Street movement. Are we better off today, then, as a result of the economic growth even if this growth has come at the expense of a more equal society? This is the question that my research tries to answer using alternative measures such as the level of self-reported happiness.
I am also interested in economic freedom and the political institutions that define it. Some of the questions that my research explores include: What is the effect of economic freedom on income inequality, productive and non-productive entrepreneurship, and does economic freedom lead to higher level of subjective well-being.
Outside of academia I spend time with my family, travel, take lots (and I mean lots) of pictures, and enjoy every opportunity to be outdoors. I am also a big soccer fan.
New Institutional Economics, Public Choice, Subjective Well-being and Life Satisfaction, Development Economics, The Economics of Education.

Being college students, we get enough anxiety in the form of schoolwork, midterms, work and money issues, and the last thing we need is any more anxiety to add to the pile. Unfortunately, with the increase in technology in the past decade, a new form of anxiety is emerging known as "cyberchondria." Cyberchondria is the internet version of hypochondria where people go online and self diagnose themselves with having certain diseases and sicknesses and think the worst. Thirty-five percent of...

Tennessee's Governor (Bill Haslam) and Senator Bob Corker, along with 22 other state and local officials have been served subpoena's for their inteference in the unionizing vote at VW plant in Chattanooga, TN per today's (4/10/14) Times Free-Press.
As everyone knows by now, in the last days before the unsuccessful "do-over" vote (after a majority of workers voted to unionize via card-check), Senator Corker interfered by telling workers that if they voted "no" on the union that VW would expand the plant by bringing a new line of cars to the plant. Senator Corker offered zero proof of his claim and VW said he was wrong. It was a desperate, underhanded, last minute interference by Senator Corker to sway the vote. Unfortunately it worked.
More below the fold...
Now we also know that state officials issued incentives to VW to expand in Tennessee with a huge caveat - that the union be kept out of the Chattanooga plant.
As everyone knows, the UAW has appealed to the NLRB over their political interference in the "do-over" vote, which never should have happened in the first place. And there's still a chance that VW will recognize the original vote by the employees (via card-check) to affiliate with UAW.
Now, with Governor Haslam and Senator Corker and the 22 other officials getting subpoenaed, the NLRB hearing just got way more interesting. The evidence supporting the UAW's request to throw out the vote due to unfair political interference just got a huge shot in the arm.
Here's hoping the NLRB will do the right thing and set aside the vote.

Radio Interview with Anne Pierson and Molly Smith of Cleveland Right to Life
Click here to listen to the recent radio interview with Anne Pierson
from www.fromthemedian.org
Anne Pierson and her husband basically started the maternity home/pregnancy care center/caring for unwed pregnant mothers' movement in the 1970's. She was recognized by Pres. Ronald Reagan in a national speech in 1984. As a result of her heart for service and his endorsement, many pregnancy centers opened their doors. During the past 40 years, Anne and her late husband created a successful non-profit organization that provided education, support and follow-up for these women in need and for maternity homes and centers. She started a movement and modeled dignity, respect and love for women who chose life and embraced the option of adoption as a loving parenting option. Many professionals have described Anne as a dynamic, funny story-teller who inspired them to embrace adoption in the talks with pregnant women.

PORT ANGELES, Wash. A Port Angeles fugitive who taunted police via his Facebook page was arrested Monday morning, Port Angeles Police say.
Officers responded to a residence on the 500 block of East 12th Street in Port Angeles after receiving information that Travis A. Nicolaysen was hiding in the residence.
With the assistance of the Clallam County Sheriff's Department, the Washington State Department of Corrections, and members of the US Marshal's Fugitive Task Force, officers and investigators surrounded the home.
They were allowed entry into the home and Nicolaysen was taken into custody without incident.
He was transported to the Clallam County Jail and booked on his outstanding felony warrants. Additional felony charges are pending.
Nicolaysen had been on the lam since two foot chases on April 5 and a dragnet that included a police dog tracking him through a Port Angeles neighborhood.
His first day on the run, one friend of Nicolaysen posted to his account: Cops all over you. Nicolaysen responded the next day with: ya got away thanks bro.
Nicolaysen has been convicted of five felonies, including domestic violence, burglary and theft of a firearm, police said. He was wanted by the Washington state Department of Corrections for failing to check in with his community corrections officer since January.
