Armatoloi (pronounced ar-ma-to-LEE), (Greek plural Αρματολοί; singular Armatolos - Αρματολός; also called Armatoles in English) were Greek Christian irregular soldiers, or militia, commissioned by the Ottomans to enforce the Sultan's authority within an administrative district called an Armatoliki (Greek singular Αρματολίκι; plural Armatolikia - Αρματολίκια). Armatolikia were created in areas of Greece that had high levels of brigandage, or in regions that were difficult for Ottoman authorities to govern due to the inaccessible terrain, such as the Agrafa mountains of Thessaly, where the first armatoliki was established in the mid-1400s.
An armatoliki was usually commanded by a kapetanios, often a former klepht captain who had been hired by the governing Ottoman Pasha to combat, or at least contain, brigand groups in the region. In most cases, the captain would have gained a level of notoriety as a klepht in order to force the Ottomans to give him the amnesty and privilege that came with an armatoliki. Therefore, it was not surprising that armatolos units were organised in very much the same way as the klephts, with a captain assisted by a lieutenant called a protopalikaro, who was usually a kinsman, and the remaining force made up of armatoloi.
Over time, the roles of the armatoloi and klephtes became blurred, with both reversing their roles and allegiances as the situation demanded, all the while maintaining the delicate status-quo with the Ottoman authorities. Many captains ran their armatoliki like a personal fiefdom, exacting a heavy toll of extortion and violence on the local peasantry.
During the Greek War of Independence, the armatoloi, along with the klephtes, formed the nucleus of the Greek fighting forces, and played a prominent part throughout its duration.
Yannis Makriyannis referred to the "klephtes and armatoloi" as the "yeast of liberty"..
The armatoloi were mostly concentrated in Macedonia, Thessaly, Epirus, Acarnania, and Aetolia (specifically Agrafa). In the Peloponnesus, armatolismos did not develop in the same manner as it did in Roumeli and Epirus. In the Peloponnesus, the kapoi (κάποι) and the meintanides (μεϊντάνηδες) were similar to the armatoloi. If in certain regions, the institution of armatolismos was not implemented, the territories were divided into armatolikia (αρματολίκια) or protakta (προτάκτα). These territories extended from Axios river (Αξιός) to Ambracian Gulf (Αμβρακικός) and up to the Corinthian gulf (Κορινθιακός). The kapetanioi would often have authority over these territories via inheritance/succession. A single kapetanio was at first forced to submit his authority to the pasha who controlled the periphery. Later, all kapetanioi were forced to submit to Dervedji pasha (Δερβετζή πασά).
During the 18th century, there were around seventeen armatolikia. Ten of them were located in Thessaly and the eastern regions of Sterea Ellada, four of them in Epirus, Acarnania, and Aetolia, and three in Macedonia. Every kapetanio had his palikaria (παλικάρια). Among these palikaria, the best recognized leader, secretary, and sometimes successor of the kapetanio was deemed protopalikaro (πρωτοπαλίκαρο). The palikaria would train with their weapons on a daily basis.
The main weapon the palikaria utilized was the kariofili (καριοφίλι). Marksmanship was the proverbial hallmark that defined the palikaria. They were also capable in the art of ambushing and mobility. The palikaria were resilient toward thirst, hunger and even the painful difficulties in their encounters with the klephts.
The term klephtopolemos (κλεφτοπόλεμος) was used to name the strategies/tactics that both the klephts and armatoloi utilized. These tactics are used today for unconventional military campaigns by small guerilla groups. The armatoloi would conduct campaigns during nighttime. This strategy was known as "going out to pagana" (έβγαιναν στην παγάνα). The armatoloi would usually do this when the klephts were coming out of their dens. The armatoloi would defend themselves in improvised forts (called meterizia; μετερίζια) against the guerrilla tactics utilized by the klephts (specifically known as klephtouria; κλεφτουριά). A general offensive campaign by the armatoloi was known as giourousi (γιουρούσι). During one of these campaigns, the armatoloi would make effective use of swords and warcries.
The first recorded appearance of collaborations between armatoloi and klephts goes back to 1585 during the wars fought between the Venetians and the Ottomans. During this time, Theodoros Boua-Grivas incited an insurrection in Acarnania and Epirus with armatoloi Poulios Drakos and Malamos from Epirus. The Sublime Port continued to have trust in armed groups such as the armatoloi up until 1684. During that year, the bodyguards of the Port, the armatoloi, became carriers of ethnic-oriented ideas. Prominent armatoloi from the 17th century were Soumilas (Σουμίλας), Meintanis (Μεϊντάνης), Livinis (Λιβίνης), Kourmas (Κούρμας), the Balaorites (Βαλαωρίτες), etc. Though these famous individuals engaged in failed rebellions, their sacrifices became an inspiration for future armatoloi to follow.

Susan Piver on Amazon/Macmillan: Avoiding the music industry crash?
February 5, 2010 | 9:45 am
By Chris Meadows
I've been looking for good articles on Amazon/Macmillan from the authors'/publishers' perspective I could link here that were thoughtful and analytical beyond the "here's what's happening" posts (and subsequent snark) Scalzi and Stross have been posting—and thanks to this post at Making Light, I finally found one.
In this piece at the Huffington Post, music-exec-turned-author Susan Piver compares Amazon's sales of e-books at loss-leader pricing to the big box chain stores' sales of compact discs at loss-leader pricing in the 1990s and the subsequent death of music stores and homogenization of the national music scene.
I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and I have little doubt that most people my age or older well remember when there were music stores ("record stores", we called them before the CD). But I suspect most people more than ten years younger hardly remember them at all.
I do remember going into them, looking at the prices, and thinking, "This costs way too much. It'd be cheaper at Wal-Mart." And that way of thinking, Piver suggests, is what led to music stores' downfall.
From a free market perspective, things happened just about "as they should have." Big chains were able to outcompete smaller chains and mom-and-pop stores because they had the buying power to get discounts—and because CDs weren't the way they made most of their money, the chains could practically give them away to get people to come in and perhaps buy other things.
In the end, this led to the dark days before iTunes (as Piver says in comments below the article) "pulled the whole situation out of the toilet"—which suggests that in terms of maintaining the ability of all content creators to create and distribute their content, perhaps the free market might not be all it's meant to be.
And Piver sees the start of the same destructive pattern of behavior in Amazon's $9.99 e-book loss-leaders.
Whether you agree or disagree with the points she raises, the article provides some food for thought—and unlike John Scalzi, Susan Piver seems willing to engage in dialogue with people of opposing viewpoints in the comments. TNH has some thoughts to add in the Making Light entry as well.
I still dislike the anti-consumer implications of the agency model, but I find it hard to argue with the music industry's example. It is interesting to note that the music industry tried to take control of the prices for which their records sold as well, but were not as successful at it as it appears the publishers are going to be.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! One of the things that helped kill music sales was the big music labels illegally colluding to RAISE the retail price of CDs by hundreds of millions of dollars a year in total and end the price wars. The Federal Trade Commission investigated and found consumers had been overcharged by $480 million. See http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2000/05/cdpres.shtm
"This retail 'price war' led to lower CD prices for U.S. consumers as prices for popular CDs fell as low as $9.99. The record companies adopted the MAP policies in 1995-96 to extinguish this "price war," the Commission contends. The FTC alleges these MAP policies achieved their unlawful objective. The 'price war' ended shortly after the policies were adopted and the retail price of CDs increased. The distributors then increased their own prices, and since 1997, wholesale prices for music have increased."
Now there's a lawsuit charging they did the same thing with digital music prices. An Appeals Court in New York gave the case the go-ahead to move forward a few days ago (See http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/01/digital-music-prices-are-they-illegally-fixed.ars)
Furthermore, WalMart and Costco and their ilk have been selling best-sellers at deep, deep discounts for many years and publishers have never done anything to stop it – in fact, I think they go along with it. I have even found cases, like Michael Palmer's last medical thriller, where the print hardcover book was cheaper at Costco than the Kindle ebook in the Kindle store. If big box retailers were somehow the problem that killed music, than the big book publisher are going after the totally wrong retailers.
Ultimately, I think the analogy for the music industry is somewhat flawed. Primarily because Amazon is not the equivalent of the Big Box and Chain stores; rather Barnes and Nobles and Borders and the Big Box stores are. Before the rise of Amazon, most people probably bought their books at one of the big chains… why not they generally have the best selection. The fact that the selection was chosen on the National scale rather than the local scale was a factor most consumers didn't think about. Long before itunes started bring selection back to music, Amazon had about as close to a universal selection of books as is likely possible. People buy from Amazon not just because of the price, but because they almost certainly will find what they are looking for.
The Kindle is Amazon's attempt to do for e-books what Apple did for digital music; make buying and downloading something you have to put as little thought into as possible. Amazon rightly recognized that $9.99 is a magic price — once you hit $10.00 people will think more about buying the book and thus are less likely to buy.
Now mind you, I am not a fan of Amazon when it comes to e-books, I actually generally prefer the reading experience more on other readers and I despise DRM. That being said, I recognize that Amazon understands the ultimate market for books better than anyone.

Another Extreme Rock Climbing Wedding Photo?
We thought we'd seen everything after finding these photos of a daredevil couple who swung from a cliff for rock climbing wedding photos, until we came across this bride crossing a rope in Yosemite National Park . This time the daredevil isn't an actual bride, but a climber wearing a gown for "travel-adventure wedding company's" promotional shoot. The climber crossed 3,000 feet above ground to get to Lost Arrow Spire, all while wearing a wedding dress. See jaw-dropping photos from the photo shoot below.
Recently we saw a couple who did zip line wedding entrance , another that exited on water skis, and even a bride who used a human slingshot to toss her bouquet, which only makes us wonder, what's with all the crazy stunts? Maybe it's the next step in the trend of making weddings even more personalized and unexpected. At the very least they make for really cool photos, which we can totally get behind (as long as everyone's staying safe, of course!).

Sunday Link Love, Volume #104
Happy Sunday!
The best part of my Sunday is brunch–I think it's because the place we go to only serves those foods on Sunday at brunch, so you have to wait for that one day every week. The anticipation makes it sweeter, I'd say Yesterday was a bit of a struggle, because the power kept going on and off, so I'm hoping to put in a few extra hours today to get caught up before Monday hits! Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

The horrific story out of New Town Connecticut has reignited one of the biggest power struggles in America. Should citizens continue to have the right to keep and bear arms?
Before the bodies are even buried, the people who have hated the idea of an armed population are racing to demand stricter gun laws. Billionaire authoritarian Michael Bloomberg is the champion of taking away freedoms and the idea of Americans owning and possessing guns is his next target. He's been leading a nationwide smear campaign against gun owners for years. Members of Congress and the media are Also politicizing the tragedy for stricter gun laws.
Never let a crisis go to waste…..
Ironically enough, the same people demanding that law abiding citizens lose their right to possess and purchase firearms, vehemently defend the slaughter of over a million innocent lives each year in America via abortion. Hell, the "war on women" that Democrats claimed the Republicans were waging during the 2012 election was over the funding of "women's reproductive rights" AKA abortion more accurately called infanticide.
Let's compare side by side some statistics. Are more lives taken with a gun or by abortion each year?
In 2008 there were 1,210,000,000 abortions performed in the United States.
In 2009 there were less than 12,000 homicides due to firearms.
Planned Parenthood, Emily's List, NARAL, etc are major power players in Washington. They have right of first refusal on anything Democrats want to do. The President himself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big-Abortion. In fact one of Obama's first acts as President after being sworn in in 2009 was an Executive Order allowing American Tax Dollars to be used to fund abortions across the globe.
Over a million lives prematurely taken each and every year in America and that barbaric act is considered sacred and defended by the same people who want to erase the 2nd Amendment for the hope that it will prevent senseless acts of violence and deaths. Yet, abortion is …..
You cannot honestly demand an end to private gun ownership for the safety of people, while defending a million abortions a year as a sacred right. Nearly 5 million abortions have taken place in the United States since Obama took his oath of office and yet guns are supposedly the greatest danger to the public?
Tell me again what the greater threat is?
There were more deaths due to drugs in 2009 than there were total injuries due to firearms. Yet here we are considering legalizing drugs in America.
Drug induced deaths 39,147
Injury by firearm: 31,347 (includes 18,735 suicides)
Tell me again why we need to disarm the public?
If it is for the chance that a crazy person may do something really bad with a gun, maybe the problem isn't the gun but the society that puts everyone at risk by allowing crazy people to walk freely and doesn't lock them up.
The argument being used now is why do Americans need an "assault rifle"? Why do we need to legalize drugs which kill more people than guns, and that includes suicides? Why do we need to to continue to allow over a million abortions a year in America as a form of birth control? Why do we need to allow crazy people who don't know right from wrong to walk freely amongst us and put us all at risk?
Great piece from John Fund on the subject. (Emphasis mine)
A few things you won't hear about from the saturation coverage of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre:
Mass shootings are no more common than they have been in past decades, despite the impression given by the media.
In fact, the high point for mass killings in the U.S. was 1929, according to criminologist Grant Duwe of the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
Incidents of mass murder in the U.S. declined from 42 in the 1990s to 26 in the first decade of this century.
The chances of being killed in a mass shooting are about what they are for being struck by lightning.
Until the Newtown horror, the three worst K–12 school shootings ever had taken place in either Britain or Germany.
Almost all of the public-policy discussion about Newtown has focused on a debate over the need for more gun control. In reality, gun control in a country that already has 200 million privately owned firearms is likely to do little to keep weapons out of the hands of criminals. We would be better off debating two taboo subjects — the laws that make it difficult to control people with mental illness and the growing body of evidence that "gun-free" zones, which ban the carrying of firearms by law-abiding individuals, don't work.

White Fruit Cakeuser rating
My grandmother's original recipe. Although I've removed most of the glacéed fruit and added my own, improving even this original, the cherries and pineapple are still here. There are fine Brazil nuts, local pecans and whole blanched toasted almonds. Deeply ripe oranges from DeSantis Farms are squeezed for juice just before it's added. Their golden raisins are the best I've ever had. My candied young ginger, candied bergamot, Rangpur lime, Meyer lemon and blood orange peels are all included. Each cake is soaked in the finest French cognac, topped with a California bay leaf and candied white grapefruit peel star.

Giveaway winner & fixed badges
Jessica of Narnia Mum
Thank to everyone who entered! I read each and every comment and got some great gift ideas! Given what my grandma's already got, her physical limitations, and the fact that I live 400+ miles from her, I think I'm going to do a photo project.
I gave my grandma a quilt last December:
half-square triangle plexi resists over 1/2 of each charm.)
And she's got a few other handmade bits I've made over the years, too...

Personnel at the front desk. The evening person went above expectations to get us settled in our room. We observed the morning person doing a check in the breakfast room and making adjustments the attendant overlooked.
Bed was really comfy
Kind of a funky smell when first checked into room. Went away after we went to dinner.
Location was good, lots of breakfast options.
The door to the hallway was terrible. Had to work and pull to make sure it closed. There was a small gap between the door and the frame. Seemed to offer nothing as a sound barrier. We heard every little noise outside, which became really bad when the ice machine kept going off at 6 in the morning, along with the constant hum of the vending machine and the kids running around. I would not pay the extra money to stay here again.
Clean and great gym/pool area
Lights not working in room
Nice facilities, very clean. Great staff.
Average breakfast
Check in was easy, room was spotless, bed & shower great - all good except for the poor strength wi fi in the building on the far side. Outside that I'll be back!
poor wi fi
Nice room
The staff were very helpful and courteous. The hot tub was actually hot and it was clean. The room was nice, beds and pillows were comfortable. Would stay there again and recommend to others!
Did not have a WIFI signal in first room and they moved me immediately.
very clean and spacious.
Not many were staying on same night and attendant put us under another room with customers. She could have spread us out better so it wouldn't be able to hear the people walking around upstairs.
The town of Salida
Bedding not changed: hair on sheets and pillows. Far down the list: foul smell from heater, bedside lamp switch defective, deadbolt lock not functional, key card (despite instructions) required multiple attempts on a cold 10pm night. Slept on the floor with clothes on. Ski day next day; attention is focused on new powder.

Walt Ekard, the city's interim chief operating officer, sent a video message Wednesday to all city workers praising them for continuing to work hard despite the distraction.
"It's been tough to stay focused and not get distracted by what's going on around us," Ekard said. "But you have stayed focused and you have delivered for the people of San Diego under exceedingly trying circumstances. Nice work everyone."
The City Council will consider the settlement proposal Friday in closed session but take public testimony beforehand at 1 p.m. The nine-member council, which has unanimously called for Filner's resignation, would need five votes to approve any deal. If a decision is reached, it would be announced publicly by Gloria.
The meeting can't be held until Friday because of a 24-hour notification requirement.

text: Living on the coast has its challenges. Everyone knows that sand dunes shift over time, but few expect dramatic movement over just a few days. But that is exactly what happened in the little beach community of Waldport on the Oregon coast. After a series of powerful storms hit the coast in succession, the dunes moved. They enveloped homes, caved in walls, and broke windows. I'll bet some of the houses in this community were compromised enough to be uninhabitable. The power of sand and wind.

Most Indiana utilities must receive Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) approval to change their rates, charges and finances. The IURC regulates approximately 700 Indiana utilities, while the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) provides legal and technical representation for consumer interests as a whole in all cases before the IURC.
However, state law also allows the following types of utilities to remove themselves from – or "opt out" of – IURC jurisdiction:
To withdraw from IURC jurisdiction, utilities must follow specific processes as provided by state law. The process typically involves a vote by an elected body and/or a utility's members, depending on the type of utility.
This publication is a general guide to the advantages and disadvantages of utility withdrawal from IURC jurisdiction. For specific legal language, please refer to the following Indiana Code cites, available on the Internet and at local libraries:
Certain types of utilities are automatically exempt from IURC jurisdiction under state law, including sewer utilities operated by municipalities and conservancy or regional sewer districts, along with water utilities operated by regional water districts. Ratemaking jurisdiction for these utilities is handled at the local level.
Rates and service quality matters for telephone, video and other telecommunications services are also exempt from IURC jurisdiction. The Indiana General Assembly deregulated telecommunications services in 2006, declaring that telecommunications service providers are competitive entities. While rate regulations for landline telephone service providers were phased out from 2006 through 2009, providers of wireless telephones and most other telecommunications services have been considered competitive entities from their inception.
When Indiana statutes are silent on rate setting of utilities that have withdrawn from IURC jurisdiction, then common law applies (in other words, precedents set by previous court decisions). The general common law standard that the court applies is that rates must be "nondiscriminatory, reasonable and just." IN re City of Clinton Water Works Rate Schedule, adopted 9/9/97. 707 N.E.2d 807. In such a situation, customers wanting to contest rates must do so before the utility or the utility's rate setting body, or a state court in the county in which they receive service.
In most cases, the decision to "opt out" of state-level utility regulation is made at the local level. Consumers should note that:
1. Utilities may be able to change rates, issue debt and start new construction and capital improvements more quickly if the decisions require local approval only.
2. Withdrawal avoids the expense of justifying rate changes to the IURC. A case that is fully litigated, rather than settled, typically requires expert witness testimony that may include consultants, accountants, engineers and attorneys. Fees that pay for the use of expert witnesses are normally recovered through customer rates.
3. Responsibility for reviewing the utility's decisions regarding rates and finances is fully assumed at the local level.
4. Customers with voting rights can replace members of the governing council or board, if unhappy with a municipal or cooperative utility's service or rates. While customers have this right regardless of withdrawal, they may have more incentive to exercise this right if the utility has withdrawn.
1. The OUCC and IURC have experienced experts (including accountants, economists and engineers) that sometimes propose less expensive or better alternatives that result in lower rates or better service. A utility loses access to these recommendations if it withdraws from Commission jurisdiction.
2. Customers challenging the legality of an action by a utility or its governing board must take action in a local court and bear the burden of proof to show a violation of the law. This is likely to include the need to hire a private attorney.
3. As the cost of regulation is sometimes exaggerated, a utility may not realize "promised" savings as a result of withdrawing. Proper utility rates and operation will still require much of the same work and cost otherwise involved with IURC proceedings.
4. Customers of a withdrawn investor-owned (for-profit) utility who do not own the utility's stock have no direct control over the company's management. The OUCC can provide a voice for the interests of customers of an IURC-regulated utility when it presents its case to the IURC. In addition, customers who have no control over the utility's management have an opportunity to address concerns with the IURC, which has been established as an impartial body.
5. Customers of a municipal utility who live outside the city or town limits are unable to register support or opposition for the utility's operation in municipal elections.
Utilities and their customers benefit from the savings when the time and costs associated with IURC cases are reduced. With this in mind, the OUCC attempts to negotiate a fair and equitable settlement in each IURC case. The majority of cases involving municipal and not-for-profit utilities are settled.
Utilities with fewer than 5,000 customers can also save time and money through the state's "Small Utility Filing Procedure." This procedure allows utilities to use standardized forms when seeking rate adjustments and reduces or eliminates the need for assistance from attorneys or rate consultants. In addition, certain issues can be addressed through 30-day filings before the IURC and other cost-saving procedures such as wholesale water purchase trackers. More information on these procedures is available from the OUCC's "Small Utility Filing Procedure" fact sheet and the Indiana Administrative Code (170 IAC 14).
The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) represents Indiana consumer interests before state and federal bodies that regulate utilities. As a state agency, the OUCC's mission is to represent all Indiana consumers to ensure quality, reliable utility services at the most reasonable prices possible through dedicated advocacy, consumer education, and creative problem solving.

The SEAPLEX cruise is almost over! They will be in Newport tomorrow, and then most of the science party will be back in San Diego on Saturday. I am not sure what the fate of the blog will be after the cruise. There definitely will not be daily updates. However, I think that there are plans for the blog to remain active as one way of sharing the information gathered on the cruise with the public, so please continue to check in with us!
Our post today is from Miriam Goldstein.
She writes:
From Walden Pond to the North Pacific Gyre
We've left the gyre – the water temperature has dropped several degrees and the wind and waves have kicked up. I've had two disappointments today – I've had to go back on seasickness medication after a glorious two-week break, and we've had to cease sampling in order to make Newport on time. All of a sudden, I'm reduced from frantically processing samples to lying limply on a bean bag chair. This makes me contemplative, and I thought it was time to ask why people care so much about plastic in the North Pacific Gyre.
Most ocean scientists I've talked to don't understand why marine debris compels the public attention. With so much bad news all around – coral reefs bleaching, sharks careening towards extinction – why care about some trash in an isolated part of the ocean that few have even seen? On the practical side, (unlike, say, global climate change), plastic trash doesn't require any specialized knowledge to understand. Everyone generates trash, and everyone's seen litter at the beach or in a park. And plastic is also never found in nature, so any plastic floating in the ocean must have been put there by humans.
But I think there's something more emotional and deeper going on here to generate such strong public interest. Plastic is symbolic of our times. From its advent in the 1950s, plastic has been an integral part of our shiny industrialized lives. Plastic has brought wonderful things like disposable contact lenses and waterproof paper, but plastic has also brought disposable items made from a permanent material. In the United States, people are deluged with cheap plastic consumer goods that aren't meant to last, but to be thrown out and bought again.
Plastic litter in the middle of the oceanic wilderness is shocking because it makes human impacts on the earth explicit, and violates our idea of what is natural. The ocean is a very alien and unhuman environment, hostile to human life and populated by strange and exotic beasts. So seeing the undeniable action of humans in the midst of the vast unpopulated sea is far more appalling than seeing it in a forest or a field. People want to know that there are wildernesses out there somewhere, and if even the open sea is no longer a wilderness, what is?
Most scientists would probably say that there are no truly wild places left. Humans are mighty – we can trawl every seamount, climb every mountain, and perturb the atmosphere itself. Everything on earth, from the deepest oceanic abyss to the highest mountain, is touched by human influence. But seeing that influence just floating out here in the middle of nowhere makes our power painfully obvious, and the consequences of the industrial age plain. It's not a pretty sight.
Six of the hundreds of sample jars collected during the SEAPLEX cruise.
The ocean was calm within the North Pacific Gyre, but the swells picked up as the New Horizon heads north to Newport, Ore. on August 19.

Have you ever had one of those days when all you could think was, "Gosh, do I need a vacation"?
Of course you have, because all work and no play aren't good for anyone. A vacation doesn't have to be two weeks on a tropical island or even a long weekend at the beach. A vacation just means taking a break from your everyday activities. A change of pace. It doesn't matter where.
Everyone needs a vacation to rejuvenate mentally and physically. But did you also know that you can help boost our economy by taking some days off? Call it your personal stimulus package.
SEE ALSO: Why the complainers are your best customers
An analysis by Oxford Economics for the U.S. Travel Association found that more than 40 percent of U.S. workers don't take their full allotment of paid time off (PTO) during the year, representing an average of 3.2 unused vacation days per worker in 2013 — a total of 429 million work days!
Aside from the risk of exhaustion and career burnout, unused vacation days have a negative impact on the U.S. economy as a whole. The study estimated that if employees took full advantage of their PTO days, the economy would enjoy the benefits of more than $160 billion in sales and $21 billion in tax revenues, as well as supporting 21 million jobs in areas like retail, transportation and manufacturing. Workers taking just a single additional day off would boost spending by $73 billion.
So go ahead and take some vacation. It's your patriotic duty.
And please, don't try the old excuse that you can't take time off because your esteemed presence is required at all times. No one is indispensable. No one. The place may not function as smoothly without you, but chances are the doors won't close and you won't lose all your customers.

2012 EAGL Championship, hosted by University of Pittsburgh
March 24, 2012 • 2:00 p.m. • Fitzgerald Field House • Pittsburgh, Pa.
|Ali Carr
The Wildcats will begin Saturday's EAGL Championship on vault in the opening rotation. Senior co-captain Ali Carr, EAGL's ninth-ranked gymnast on vault, leads UNH with an average score of 9.823 and a high score of 9.875. Carr has held at least a share of the team's top vault score in nine of 11 meets this season. Expect her to be joined in the vault lineup by Jillian Hudson, Courtney Connors, Hannah Barile, Erika Rudiger and Austyn Fobes.
Following a second rotation bye, Fobes will spearhead the Wildcats' bar lineup with a No. 4 EAGL ranking, an average score of 9.825 and a high of 9.925. Other probable bar competitors include Danielle Reibold, Jen Aucoin, Carr, Rudiger and Hudson.
After a fourth-rotation bye, freshman Kayla Gray, EAGL's sixth-ranked balance beam gymnast, headlines UNH's beam contingent with an average tally of 9.634 and a season-high 9.900. Gray will be complemented by Carr, Jannelle Minichiello, Fobes, Aucoin and Reibold.
The 'Cats receive a bye in the sixth rotation before heading to floor exercise in the seventh rotation. Erin Machado leads the squad with an average score of 9.780, and she is knotted with Barile with an RQS of 9.790 and a season-high of 9.850. Seniors Kate McGeever and Tasia Percevecz will also be counted upon for solid floor routines, with Gray and Fobes also contending for a spot in the lineup.
|Austyn Fobes
After being slowed by a preseason wrist injury that sidelined her for the first two meets, Austyn Fobes is slated to compete in the all-around for the first time this season. Fobes, who competed on vault for the first time all year last week at No. 8 Oregon State, earned All-EAGL First Team and EAGL All-Tournament First Team honors in AA in 2011.
The Wildcats will be without the services of freshman Adrienne Hill for the second consecutive meet. Hill, who suffered a concussion during the Senior Day meet against No. 17 Arizona on March 11, has been a consistent contributor on three events (vault, bars, beam) during her rookie season.

opinionBy Kintu Nyago
Though he was marginalized by the neocolonial regimes that reigned in this country prior to President Museveni and the NRM's coming to power in 1986, Ignatius Kangave Musaazi's anti-colonial and nationalist credentials were exceptional for three main reasons.
To start with, he was the architect of pan-Ugandan nationalism. Earlier anti-colonial struggles led by Omukama Chwa, Kabalega or Omutaka Jemuusi Kabaazi Mitti, mainly due to the more localized exposure of their authors, were in the main, ethnic and localised. However, though Musaazi had wider and more sophisticated exposure, he was neither the first nor the last in this regard.
For instance, when he attended college in Britain in the 1920s, Sir Wilberforce Kaduumbula Nadiope was his contemporary, and Musaazi applied his initiative to adopt an anti-colonial stance, rather than collaborate with the imperial power, unlike Nadiope and most others who opted not to 'rock the boat.'
In Britain, Musaazi created a lifelong relationship with progressive individuals and political organizations, notably the Labour Party and the Fabian Society. When he returned to Uganda, he joined the teaching profession and rose to the rank of inspector of schools, a privileged position he resigned from to champion the anti-colonial struggle.
His interaction with the Fabian Society and Fenner Brockway, the eccentric, pacifist radical anti-colonial Labour member of the House of Commons, helped shape Musaazi's nationalist outlook. As a young man, Brockway was imprisoned, at least thrice, for his political views. However, such measures only seemed to have served the purpose of strengthening them even the more.
Musaazi was also influenced by other nationalist movements, like in Kenya, where his close associate was Jomo Kenyatta. This was in addition to India's Indian National Congress and South Africa's African National Congress. It is crucial to note that when Musaazi formed Uganda's first nationalist party, the Uganda National Congress, and called for national unity and immediate independence, with the support of Brockway who had once visited Uganda, the young Apollo Milton Obote, in a letter written to The Uganda Herald of April 12, 1952, opposed this call for the unity and independence of the Ugandan people.
Contrary to what some have asserted, the UNC was neither the first Ugandan political party nor its first anti-colonial organisation. The Bangeleza, Bafaransa and Basilaamu political-cum-military formations of the late 19th century that fomented the infamous 'religious wars' were, for all intents and purposes, political parties. They had clear leadership structures and manifestos.
For instance, the Bangeleza party under the domineering Sir Apolo Kaggwa fought for Uganda's colonization by Britain. While the Bafaransa party led by Stanislaus Mugwanya and the legendary guerilla general Gabulyeri Kintu, had sold their souls to both French and German colonial interests. From an anti-colonial perspective, Mitti and others formed the Bataka Party in the early 1940s to challenge colonial rule in Buganda.
This culminated in the 1947 and 1948 riots. Earlier in the early 1920s, a similar organization headed by Kate Mugema, Spartus Mukasa and Mitti had successfully opposed the colonial administration's 1900 Agreement with its exploitation of Baganda peasants. Hence Whitehall's introduction of the 1928 Busuulu and Envujjo law.
Last, but not least, Musaazi had the skill of identifying talent and mentoring it. Nearly all the nationalist leaders of the Congress tradition were identified and mentored by him. Kintu Musoke and Kirunda Kivejinja recount how Musaazi identified a youthful Paulo Muwanga at Mpigi Post Office in the early 1950s, where he worked as a clerk, and persuaded him to abandon colonial privilege for the precarious, unpaid vocation of a Katwe-based UNC anti-colonial mobiliser!
Much similar to Simon Peter in the Christian scriptures, the redoubtable Muwanga literally followed Musaazi and became 'a fisher of men.' Other nationalists that he recruited and mentored into nationalist politics include Milton Obote, Otema Allimadi, John Kalekyezi, Yokosofati Engur, Peter Sonko, Balaki Kirya and Abu Mayanja.

I'm basically a casual player who likes virtual worlds, and sandboxes, but also likes to do quests in that world and enjoys good PvP. I've been playing Wushu for about a week, maybe a couple of hours a day, so maybe 10 hours in total. I like the game so far.
I joined a school (Scholars), did a few missions for them. Now doing spy missions. Joined an event, which felt like a zerg, and got slaughtered in PvP :) Learned the Musician art, and can play a basic song on my instrument that buffs the team. Did some team training, but not with any other players; haven't teamed up with anyone yet. Figured out how to "cultivate" the skill of my choice. A ganker came around an area I tried to AFK in, and killed me a couple of times; the last time I put up a fight, futile of course. And yet, it was my fault, for just going to sleep in a PvP area. All in all, a pretty varied experience for just 10 hours of play.
- The graphics and the feeling of a virtual world are well done.
- The combat seems traditional, with different attacks, moves, etc.
- The download was a problem, had to DL twice to make it work. Since then, the game is very well behaved. No lag, does not crash, etc.
- The "translation" problem hasn't really affected me; there are a few grammtical errors, but the real meaning has been clear. I spent a few years studying the Book of Changes (I Ching) and other Chinese philosophy, so the game does not feel totally foreign to me.
- The game seems complex, and so far, that is a fun factor. It is nice to know that there is a lot more to learn and master.
After a week of free play, I've enjoyed it. Wushu feels like a AAA game to me.

We've had quite a few bad thunderstorms, gale force winds here and even a vicious tornado north of us in Springfield, Mass.
I was just wondering how everyone fares when the electricity goes out. We like to power down the TV and computer so there isn't a problem. Also lighting candles makes me peaceful. What is your mode of operation during outages?

Pitino, defense attorney have testy court exchange
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Rick Pitino and the attorney for a woman accused of demanding millions from him to conceal a sexual tryst exchanged heated words before a jury Thursday, as the Louisville basketball coach tried to fend off accusations of rape and lying.
Attorney James Earhart was pushing Pitino to address allegations from defendant Karen Cunagin Sypher that she was raped. The coach interrupted, saying he was "here to give the truth." Earhart replied, "I bet you are."
"I don't fear the truth," Pitino said.
"Neither do we," Earhart shot back.
Sypher, 50, has pleaded not guilty to extortion. She filed a rape report with police about six years after she and Pitino had sex at a table after hours in an Italian restaurant. Authorities have said her claims lacked merit, and no charges were ever filed.
Pitino told jurors on Wednesday that Sypher initiated the sex by whispering to him and unzipping his pants when he got up to leave the empty restaurant.
Pitino, a married father of five, acknowledged during Thursday's questioning that he didn't immediately report phone calls that threatened to expose the tryst and a demand for cash, cars and housing for Sypher because he didn't want his family to find out about the affair.
Pitino said he didn't immediately contact authorities because he wanted to "contain" potentially damaging information.
Pitino's testimony ended after about two hours Thursday. His attorney, Steve Pence, said Pitino would return to recruiting later in the day.
"This matter, certainly his portion, is behind him now," Pence said. "I'm very proud of coach Pitino in how he handled this."
The coach's testimony marked the first time he's talked publicly in detail about his July 2003 encounter with Sypher, the meeting that led to her extortion trial. Pitino's portrayal of Sypher as the aggressor came after several witnesses said she was flirty and persistent when she approached Pitino at the restaurant.
Pitino obliged her request to say happy birthday to her son on her cell phone. When she returned later, Pitino said, he bought the former model a drink. They lingered to talk after the restaurant had closed and the owner had gone home.
As he got up from the table, Pitino said Sypher whispered something.
"Some unfortunate things happened," Pitino said. "She opened up my pants."
"Did you have sex that night?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Marisa Ford asked.
"Yes, very briefly," Pitino answered.
A few weeks later, Sypher, then known as Karen Wise, called and said she was pregnant.
"I didn't believe at the time it was my child," Pitino said. "She said she didn't know what she was going to do."
Sypher said she had no health insurance, Pitino said, so he offered $3,000. He thought the money was for counseling and medical needs but Sypher later said she had an abortion, Pitino said.
Less than a year later, Pitino's assistant, Tim Sypher, married Karen Wise. Witnesses said the two appeared at Louisville functions with Pitino.
The threats to reveal the sexual fling came nearly six years later, Pitino said.

Oct. 30, 2005
Worcester, Mass. - Lafayette freshman Chad Barbieri scored the game's only goal and the Leopard defense was able to hold off Holy Cross the rest of the way to preserve a 1-0 win over the Crusaders on Sunday morning in Patriot League action. Holy Cross falls to 7-7 overall (2-4 Patriot League), while the Leopards improve to 10-4-1 (4-2 Patriot League).
With one conference game remaining, Holy Cross finds itself in second to last place in the league standings with six points on two wins.
The two teams played a scoreless first half, each registering five shots. But with just under twenty-minutes remaining in the game, Barbieri collected a loose ball about 20 yards out and blasted a shot into the top left corner to break the deadlock.
Barbieri's tally was Lafayette's only shot on goal of the day, despite holding a 10-8 shot advantage over the Crusaders. Five of Holy Cross' eight shots were on goal. The Leopards also had a 5-4 corner kick edge.
Lafayette's Mike Tortora came up with five stops for the Leopards.
Holy Cross is back in action on Tuesday, November 1, when it travels to Harvard University for a 2:00 p.m. non-conference match-up with the Crimson.

Light metals, such as sodium, lithium and aluminium, have a low atomic weight. They are cast into components for many engineered products, including automotive and aerospace parts. The industry is domestically oriented and has been adversely affected by weak industrial activity in the United Kingdom over the past five years.
The 2008 financial crisis strained budgets and curtailed national spending, limiting demand for manufactured products and, thus, sales of the light metal castings used to produce them. A significant reduction in motor vehicle manufacturing hit industry revenue particularly hard, but this was short-lived. Automobile sales, and thus demand for light metal inputs, rebounded strongly in 2010-11 and bolstered industry revenue.

Durham, N.H. - Shannon Daly (Brightwaters, N.Y.) set a pool school record in the 200-breaststroke as the University of New Hampshire women's swimming and diving registered wins in 15 of its 16 events to defeat the University of Rhode Island, 182-103, Saturday afternoon at Swasey Pool.
Daly touched the wall at 2 minutes 18.53 seconds to claim the new record in the 200-breast. Christine Tartaglia (Brewster, N.Y.) was second at 2:30.99 and Michelle Garnsey (Lake Wylie, S.C.) finished at 2:32.33.

Daly joined forces with Ana Dowell (Phoenix, Ariz.), Catie McDonough (Denville, N.J.), and Deanna Petchonka (Ridgefield, Conn.) in the first event of the meet, the 200 individual medley relay. Together, they finished first at 1:52.39.
Petchonka and Dowell later claimed individual wins for New Hampshire. Petchonka swam to the wall first in the 50-yard freestyle at 25.78, just beating out teammate, Dowell, who came in at 25.94.

Sarah Guyett (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) was second at 2:10.85. Goodman was also first in the 100-backstroke when she narrowly beat out Guyett with a time of 1:10.27. Guyett's time was 1:00.64.
Brittany Daly (Brightwaters, N.Y.) claimed wins in three events. Daly finished the grueling 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:36.66.

(2:00.19) secured points for New Hampshire as they finished second and third, respectively.

A Palestinian woman caught carrying a large knife near the security fence of a West Bank settlement said she was planning to carry out an attack.
Police captured the woman, 32, outside the settlement of Emmanuel in the northern West Bank. The woman told police that she planned to use the knife to carry out a stabbing attack.
The arrest comes a day after two Palestinians carrying large knives were arrested trying to infiltrate the West Bank settlement of Elon Moreh, near Nablus. The attempts come just days after the first yahrzeit for five members of the Fogel family who were murdered as they slept in their home in the West Bank community of Itamar.

Şeyda Özçalışkan
Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley
Research Interests
My research focuses on children's earliest linguistic and cognitive abilities as they reveal themselves both in speech and in gesture. Specifically, I ask whether and how children's gestures can inform us about language development, from the onset of first words and first sentences to the emergence of first narratives and explanations. My current interests are reflected in two main lines of research: (1) whether gesture constitutes a robust aspect of the language-learning process, remaining preserved across different learners (children with blindness, deafness, or autism), and (2) whether gesture shows the language-specific patterns found in children's speech, varying systematically across structurally different languages (English, Spanish, Turkish). Following these two lines of inquiry, I seek to understand the process of language development and how gesture serves as part of the mechanism of change in this process as either reflecting underlying knowledge or helping children take the next development step.
