An overview of research trends and issues in the area of compulsory substance abuse treatment is presented, using a sample of 170 English-language articles obtained from a search of 4 databases (Medline, PubMed, Embase, PsychINFO, supplemented by a manual search). About half (51%) of these articles were non-empirical (i.e. literature reviews, policy proposals, legal and ethical commentaries on compulsory treatment). A subsample of empirical studies published since 1988 (n = 71) was coded to summarize research trends in relation to 3 key issues: (1) how compulsory treatment was studied (country of origin; type of compulsory treatment; treatment population), (2) the evidence base for judging effectiveness of compulsory treatment (research design; sampling; type, timing and results of outcome measures), and (3) the relationship between compulsory treatment and coercion (measurement strategies). Directions for future research are discussed.

Blackletter, or Gothic miniscule, originated in 12th-century Europe. When brought to the New World, it was subtly reshaped by indigenous influences. No better is this illustrated than in Mexico, where it adorns countless small stores, shops, and service providers with a wholly Mexican twist. Cristina Paoli investigates how this distinctive letterform exists in Mexico today. Through colorful photographs of signage, tattoos, posters, and car detailing, and insightful text, Mexican Blackletter examines blackletter's popularity in Mexico, and how it reveals a cultural essence.

The Pittsburgh Steelers head into the offseason with several big decisions ahead of them as far as free agency and personnel goes. In total they will have 17 unrestricted free agents , 5 restricted free agents and 2 exclusive rights free agents.
Cornerback Keenan Lewis and guard Ramon Foster will likely be considered the Steelers two highest priority unrestricted free agents heading into the offseason. Lewis had a fantastic break out season and led the league in pass breakups heading into the final regular season game. When you look at the list of cornerbacks around the league that will be unrestricted you will see that Lewis could garner some serious attention if not locked up prior to the start of the free agency signing period.
Foster was one of the Steelers most consistent offensive linemen all season and nearly played every offensive snap in addition. He played both guard spots and right tackle in 2012 and showed that he was more than capable enough at all three. Should the Steelers decide to part ways with Willie Colon, the chances of locking up Foster will increase.
Wide receiver Mike Wallace and running back Rashard Mendenhall are expected to test free agency and neither are expected to be hit with the franchise tag. The chances of either being back in 2013 is almost non existent at this point.
Several of the older unrestricted free agents that stated games in 2012 such as linebacker Larry Foote, nose tackle Casey Hampton, tackle Max Starks, quarterback Charlie Batch and quarterback Byron Leftwich will all be allowed to shop themselves during the offseason. The only way that Foote, Hampton and Starks are back in 2012 would be if they agree to one-year deals for roughly the veteran minimum. Basically, qualifying contracts that come with reduced salary cap hits. Those types of resignings usually take place in June or July so it will be a long wait. There is a good chance that either Batch or Leftwich return next season, but not both.
Bit players such as Doug Legursky and Will Allen are not expected to receive much if any attention in the early part of free agency. The only way that both return in 2013 would be on one year deals for the minimum with no guarantees that they will make the 2013 53 man roster.
The Steelers are expected to tender all five of their restricted free agents with original round low tenders that will be right around $1.3 million. All five should be easily retained and the Steelers will have an opportunity to match any offer sheet should any of them sign one.
The two exclusive right free agents will be back as well as they must except the one year minimum salary offered them if they want to play in 2013.
We will break each player down more in depth as we progress through the offseason, but below is your official list of Steelers free agents.
Steelers 2013 Unrestricted Free Agents
WR Mike Wallace
RB Rashard Mendenhall
CB Keenan Lewis
G Ramon Foster
T Max Starks
ILB Larry Foote
NT Casey Hampton
S Will Allen
G Doug Legursky
WR Plaxico Burress
QB Charlie Batch
QB Byron Leftwich
LS Greg Warren
FS Ryan Mundy
LB Brandon Johnson
TE Leonard Pope
CB Justin King
NOTE: The Steelers list both David Johnson and Jeremy Kapinos as FA\'s as well. Johnson as a URFA & Kapinos a RFA. Both were waived injured prior to the start of the season.
Steelers 2013 Restricted Free Agents
WR Emmanuel Sanders
NT Steve McLendon
RB Jonathan Dwyer
RB Isaac Redman
LB Stevenson Sylvester
Steelers 2013 Exclusive Rights Free Agents
RB Baron Batch
CB DeMarcus Van Dyke
I know this sounds crazy, but at some point the Steelers need to hedge their bets and sign some RFAs to long term contracts. While Emmanuel Sanders hasn't played like a number 1 or 2 receiver, it might be a good time to sign him to a 3 or 4 year deal. It would likely come cheaper than if we were to give him another year to prove he can be a number 2. Even if he only pans out as a number 3 receiver, at least you don't pay him as a number 2 should we wait and he has one fluke, tremendous year. I think too often we wait to see if someone will pan out by looking at how they play in a contract year, then they end up playing outrageously well (Woodley) and subsequently turn out to be only good players over the next few years (when we pay them like they're one of the best). Like I said, hedge your bets. If you intend to lock them up anyway, do it at a point when the cost/benefit is optimal.
The totally agree with Foster and Lewis. Lets face it, Foster is an above average player, another undrafted gem if you will and they cant be to comfortable with Colon these days. The only other guys I would like to see back are Foote, Starks and Will Allen
Agreed. They dont have much wiggle room (unless Harrison is released and maybe Colon (after June 1st)) but I agree guys like McLendon and Dwyer could be given multi-year deals for pretty cheap right now. Just dont know how much money they'll have to play with
Completely agree.
I think they can get those guys back on the cheap, with the exception of maybe Starks. Foote is getting older and so is Allen. Starks is a bit of an enigma; he may be able to get a better deal than the vet minimum elsewhere. Plus I think with Foster signed, we have two starting tackles (Gilbert and Adams) and two swing-men in Foster and Beachum. If Starks is looking for anything above the vet minimum and no garauntees, it would be hard for us to keep him with so many other priority free agents (K. Lewis and Foster), while also trying to look to the future and potentially signing some other young guys on the cheap to long term deals (C. Allen, S. McLendon, J. Dwyer and E. Sanders). I think we can clear enough cap space to get those guys signed with just a couple of restructures (Timmons and Ben) and some tough cuts (Colon and Harrison). I think we can find a talented pass rusher and some safeties in the draft that would allow us to have some depth in key defensive areas moving forward. The organization may feel like it already has depth at OLB with Worilds and A. Robinson (if he can develop coverage skills). I tend to think a first round pick on a pure pass rusher and a second rounder on a FS/SS would be best, but I'm not in the front office. Don't forget that restructuring this year might not be so bad either, the salary cap is projected to increase significantly (maybe as much as 20 or 30 million) for 2014 with the new ESPN deal in place. We should absolutely hedge our bets with our young guys this year in order to take advantage of that. The other thing that helps is the new 1st round cap on rookie salaries. All of that said, there's no time like the present to get some promising young talent under contract.
Agreed. A lot of people are not figuring in the 2014 deal that will increase cap, not to mention after 2014 almost all of the Vets (Troy, Ike, Keisel, Harrison etc) and their hefty salaries will be gone or retired. Would love to see Foote and Allen back, while I agree Starks is less important, I just want him because at this point we KNOW he can play LT, there's a lot of uncertainty as to Gilbert or Adams playing on the Left side.
The predicament we're in with Foster now is exactly why I think they should sign McLendon and Dwyer as soon as possible, theyre still bargains at this point… I wanted them to sign Foster last season, before he became an UFA, but I guess they were hoping Colon would stay healthy
Hampton played very well this season but I'd like to see if McLendon can consistently play at a high level as Hampton seems to think he can. The play of the corners especially was excellent. Hopefully, Lewis isn't too expensive to bring back. I think they also have to bring back Starks for another year if they can afford him.
The D didn't get the outside pressure they wanted with Woodley and Harrison. Harrison I hope will be back for another year or two. Woodley has to prepare better in the offseason. He is vital. There's bound to be a few UFA who get away this offseason. Wallace and Mendenhall I see as the most likely players to leave. Also possibly Hampton, Foster and Lewis. I just hope the Steelers are not gutted in free agency.
I just went through it and decided on the players I think we want to and will be able to re-sign, not the players I want to resign. Of the list above, I think we will be able to re-sign: Mike Wallace, Keenan Lewis, Max Starks, Will Allen, Plaxico Burress (for camp at least), Charlie Batch (for camp at least), Ryan Mundy (for camp at least), Manny Sanders, Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman, Stevenson Sylvester and Baron Batch (dependent on other resigns).
To avoid obvious questions, I don't think we will be able to afford Foster because I think a team like the Colts or Cards might offer him more than we can give, I'd love to have him back though. Foote will go out on his own terms and retire, in my opinion. Legursky will also get money somewhere else, I think, but I'm not sure. Van Dyke, who knows, but I think we can get a better special teams guy, but he's cheap so I could see him come back for next season.
Now I debated with ALOT of guys, but I think this is the list of guys we will re-sign this offseason.
While I like your list (minus Mundy) in my opinion, I do not think they'll have enough to sign Wallace AND Lewis, just my opinion, but they have pulled some crazy maneuvering before
Yeah I had the same debate with myself, but this was my logic: Last year, we were 10 million MORE over the cap than were are this year and we got it down far enough to tender Wallace AND sign Antonio to a big contract. In my opinion, Wallace only deserves about the same contract as AB, so assuming we can get down to the same cap level as last year, and then some because we have more room, I think we can resign Wallace to a Brown-like deal, with some space for Keenan Lewis. All the other guys on my list won't really be getting huge pay raises, so there isn't much other space needed. And as far as Mundy, I think they will at least have him as a camp body, but who knows, could change with what we draft.
I hope you're right. It seems plausible. I think If they re-sign Will Allen then Mundy is gone, they have already shown that they lost trust in him, especially with younger guys like Golden and Cromartie-Smith on roster
Yeah, I see your logic. Especially since Mundy will be more expensive too.
Yea.. and he's nothing more than a special teams player for us at this point. He'd probably start on 30 other teams
I think they only sign Dwyer to a one year tender because he still has not shown he can keep his weight down and stay in shape for a whole yearI think the Steelers draft another WR and RB in the 2013 draft if they can sign Lewis and let Mendy go?
Hope fully the Steelers can resign Foster if they let Colon go?
Also, Van Dyke and Baron Batch are exclusive rights FA's meaning they have to sign with us for the minimum and have no rights to negotiate with other Teams or they cant play in 2013… I think Van Dyke has potential, could be special teams guy and 5th CB on depth chart. They liked him coming out of college
I wish I shared Dave's optimism about keeping all 5 RFA's for the minimum original round tenders. Dwyer was only a 6th round pick and McClendon was undrafted, so a team wanting to sign him wouldn't have to give up any draft pick. All they would need to do is give him an offer that the Steelers can't/won't match. I realize he's never been a starter so maybe nobody has seen enough film to make an offer more than the $1.3M tender, but I think it's a risk.
I believe you can place whatever Rd tender you like on a player.. so they could put a 2nd Rd tender McLendon if they choose, I think
I think they definitely draft WR, RB & LB, no question… and if they do sign Foster then they could potentially release Colon even with his dead money hit. If they release him after June 1st they save $5-6million and the dead money hit wont come till 2014…. could happen
If we can get Wallace back we won't have to worry about WR for a couple years. Also, Lewis stepped it up big this year and deserves a little salary. Starks, Burress, Charlie Batch will all be back because they love the organization. (Maybe even sign Batch as a QB coach?) Sanders, Dwyer, Baron Batch, Van Dyke aren't going anywhere. The only two that are going to walk are (maybe) Foster, but (DEFINITELY) Todd Haley. Get him out and bring back Ken Whisenhunt for the OC. Draft Manti Ta'o in the first, hopefully Eric Reid, Dion Jordan, or Barkevious Mingo drops to us in the 2nd. Take a gamble and draft Tyrann Mathieu in the 3rd. If we don't get Foster back draft a guard or just take a backup QB in the 4th and 5th. Grab the big TE from UCLA Joseph Fauria in the 6th. Draft a K in the 7th. Then sign Brandon Jacobs for min in free agency. All of this will equal a solid year for us.
Wallace played the entire season with "risk of significant injury" without long term contract protection; it probably slowed him down a bit?
Yeah, I knew they were ERFA's, but that doesn't mean we have to give them an offer hahah. That's why I mentioned that Van Dyke would be cheap, but I just don't know if he is worth the roster spot. Same story with Batch. I said "dependent on other signings" to say that he might not return if we get Dwyer and Redman back, and who knows about Mendy. Maybe they like him more than we know.
Right now the Steelers have so many needs, who they manage to sign or redo deals with will have a huge impact on this years draft, Plus I am not sold on Colons injury problems and Gilbert being a future starter. Gilbert for me was a reach in the 2nd round and in 2012 spent too much time rolling around on the ground or on other OL mens legs, The OLs ability to move defense for the run game is a concern for me. Not likely the Steelers will be able to sign both Wallace an Lewis with the cap the way it is again for the 2013 season. Plus I believe the Steelers need a tall/big young tough WR to make those tough catches.
They can match any offer he gets. No reason to put a higher tender on McLendon or Redman. Remember how freaked out people were about Legursky and Foster last year? Where did those two end up?
all of the UFAs. are not worth keeping
They need a Dlineman to get some sacks.
This will be the easiest offseason cuts ever because I cant think of more than 10 players on our roster worth keeping.
This is true, and both had started more games than McClendon has. Point taken.
Wallace dropped a lot of balls this year but wanted big money he is still a big talent I say put the tag on him if his production is low in 2013 let him go I like Brown Sanders and Wallace even though Sanders have to hold onto the Ball I think Heath Miller was our best Offensive player this year he made some big catches Mendenhall has to go he never was that good to me likes to run outside too much spins in the hole too much stays hurt I wouldnt just lock up any of those Rb I think its time for a change of course Rainey will stay think he should put on about 10 pounds of muscle If We can get an explosive back like Tavon Austin out of West Virginia we will be good and a power back to compliment him Willie Colon he had a great year but he stays hurt too much and gets too many penalties Id rotate him in we will lose 1 of our corners just because it was an auditioning season I think Lewis will demand more money Cortez will find another team We have to address the secondary issues in the off season we didnt even need Troy this year maybe Troy 6 years ago Leftwich and Batch its time to go the quarterbacks in the draft arent that great but I feel we can get a descent backup and maybe sign a vet D-Line Casey is old had a solid season I dont think he will be paid big if he leaves so he end up staying Brett Kiesel had a descent season glad he stayed healthy Woodley had the hamstring and a medium year but he is better than james harrison at this point yes we gotta let james go he is inaffective since the knee surgery and he isnt getting any younger Timmons was our best defensive player this year played all 16 games and should be in pro bowl we could use a few O-line men the ones we got in draft got hurt but I still dont thank their trassition to the NFL is any good Clark needs a safety backing him I think Mundy is leaving
Agreed about McLendon. In the 3-4 you need a BIG pile mover like Hampton especially on rushing downs. I think they hope Ta'amu might be that guy, but also now with the League really evolving to 'pass happy' you need a strong guy in the middle that is also quick who can get to the next level and that is exactly what McLendon is, he gets after it
I would hope between Foster and Lewis, that they can retain one of them
I think the team should make a real attempt to retain K. Lewis, Foster and Foote during the main free agency period before the draft. But, a lot will depend on how the market values Lewis. There should not be as much concern or urgency about the rest of the UFAs on the list. But, several should be brought back later on qualifiying contracts including Batch, W. Allen and possibly Burress.
All the RFAs and ERFAs should be tendered, except possibly Sylvestor.

Cesar Chavez Is Running For Congress In Arizona
By editor
Originally published on Wed June 4, 2014 6:32 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. The old joke says Chicago is the place where the dead can vote. Arizona is where the dead can run. Cesar Chavez is running for Congress. Yes, the legendary labor activist died more than 20 years ago, but in a heavily Latino district, a long-shot candidate in the Democratic primary sought to improve his chances by changing his name to Cesar Chavez. He hopes to do better than in a previous run when his name was Scott Fistler. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

This segment dives head first into misogyny with some douche mansplaining what women really want:
"Women do earn less in America because they choose to. They would rather go to their daughter's piano recital than stay all night at work, working on a proposal, so they end up earning less. They're less ambitious. And I think this is sort of God's way, this is nature's way of saying women should be at home with the kids, they're happier there."
–Gavin McInnes, co-founder of VICE
If you wonder why I tagged this as a Blog Against Theocracy, it is because McInnes uses God to justify his outrageous statements. The war on women is very real, and it is a front in the larger war that the theocrats are waging against Democracy. Whether he is himself a theocrat doesn't matter, he's a soldier in their larger cause.

LITTLE ROCK, AR-- Forty attorneys general from around the U.S. are urging the FDA to impose more regulatory controls on the sale and marketing of e-cigarettes
The e-cig industry is booming, and annual sales could hit $1.7 billion this year, but right now there is no federal oversight. Dustin McDaniel joined other attorneys general from across the nation to ask the Food and Drug Administration to take action. In a letter they ask the FDA to treat e-cigs as tobacco products and set rules for advertising, ingredients and sale to minors.
Local shops selling the products say more regulation is a good thing.
"The FDA has tossed around ideas that, we know regulation is coming and it's needed," says Rob Engster, the owner of Next Vapor Spot. "Right now a lot of fly by night companies are making juice, and without regulations you never know what kind of health concerns could pop up."
The letter says the nicotine in electronic cigarettes is highly addictive, and fruit flavors and flashy advertising appeal to young people.
"I don't think it's the fruit flavors are necessarily what makes kids want to try them," Engster says. "It's the fact that they see it as a means of getting nicotine. That's why we need to have no one under 18 allowed to purchase, and everybody that has a vapor store needs to card all customers that look like they could be under 18."
Abran Chavez, an employee at Vapor World NWA believes more regulation will increase sales.
"I was hoping that was going to happen just so people could see the truth behind it and have an official response to what this is," he says. "It's a great and healthy alternative to smoking. Think about all the things that are in cigarettes. It's just so much better for you in the long run."
LITTLE ROCK, AR-- Forty attorneys general from around the U.S. are urging the FDA to impose more regulatory controls on the sale and marketing of e-cigarettes
Namely, restrict advertising and ban the sale of of the product to minors. In a letter to the Food and Drug Administration, they've ask for an immediate action to treat the electronic cigarettes the same as all "tobacco products" under the Federal Tobacco Control Act.
According to a press release, e-cigarette have been doubling every year since 2008 and, unlike with traditional tobacco products, there are no federal age restrictions to prevent children from obtaining e-cigarettes.
Earlier this year, the Arkansas Legislature enacted Act 1451, which prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes to minors in the State but there is no such federal prohibition.
The letter calls into question the practice of advertising the electronic cigarette with primetime commercials and celebrity endorsements.
"E-cigarette manufacturers engage in tactics that appeal to youth," McDaniel said in a statement. "Celebrity endorsements, cartoon characters, attractive packaging, fruit flavoring and cheap prices all serve to encourage youth consumption of the products."
According to this article on The Consumerist, annual sales of e-cigarettes expected to hit $1.7 billion in 2013.

Edisto Island Travel Tips
Just outside of Charleston, South Carolina, is Edisto Island, a member of the Sea Islands. The land was originally home to the historic Edisto people, a Native American sub-tribe of the Cusabo. It also has a deep Gullah history, a culture preserved by the African Americans who were some of the island's first inhabitants.
Edisto Beach Attractions
This coastal paradise has plenty of beach to offer visitors. As a family-oriented community, many of the those who stay in the island city of Edisto Beach enjoy walks on the beach, jogging, biking, kayaking and golf. There are 38 public beaches in Edisto Beach that can be accessed from each intersection on Palmetto Boulevard. Loggerhead Sea Turtles live in the community and, if you're lucky enough to see one or their nest, be sure to stay away and don't touch.
Edisto Beach State Park has the state's longest system of handicapped accessible hiking and biking trails. When you venture out here, you'll go through the maritime forest. Other activities available at the park include surf fishing, boating, birding and picnicking. There's also the Edisto Interpretive Center that teaches visitors about the ACE Basin estuarine reserve using interactive displays. The ACE Basin is one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the Atlantic Coast and encompasses 350,000 acres. It's full of natural beauty such as wetlands, hardwood forests, riverine systems and marshes.
There are two historic sites on Edisto Island, including Seaside Plantation House and Spanish Mount Point. The plantation home is formerly known as Locksley Hall and was built in 1810. Spanish Mount Point is located at Edisto Beach State Park and is bordered by water and marsh on three sides. The mount stands at nearly 10 feet tall and 88 feet long.
Things to Do
Golf: Visitors who want to hit the green while in town should head to Plantation Course at Edisto. The course is the only one on the island and has a history that dates back to 1973 when it was known as Oristo and The Edisto Beach Golf Club. The springtime months of March, April and May are great times to golf here when temperatures head back up to the mid-70s, however, the fall is when it's best as the days stay warm and cools off in the evening.
Dining: A range of culinary options are available when you stay in Edisto Beach. You can dine at Billow Street Pizza, Flowers Oyster Co., Flowers Seafood Co. and Edisto Seafood. Additional eateries include Edisto Pavilion Restaurant, Buck's Pizza, McConkey's Jungle Shack, Old Post Office Restaurant and Whaley's. Try cooling off with a treat from Sunny at the Beach Snow Cones or Island Video & Ice Cream.
Shops: Don't forget to pick up something from one of Edisto Beach's gift shops to remember your visit. There's Claw Daddy's Gift Shop & Beach Supplies, Sandy's Gifts, Shore Thing Gift Shop, Safe Gallery & Gifts and Edistonian Gift Shop & Gallery. If you prefer to take home a locally-made piece of art, check out Crafts By The Sea, Douglas Grier Art & Frame Co., Edisto Art Guild and Sage Studio Gallery.

It would be great, though, if I could add the post to multiple Facebook pages. I.e. my personal profile, as well as a Facebook page.
Any chance this could be included in the future and/or someone can share an easy way I can hack the plugin to include that option?

For one child in need of hope, Columbia gives 20 sisters
Updated: October 22, 2008, 3:16 PM ETBy Graham Hays | ESPN.com
NEW YORK -- Surrounded on a field by members of the Columbia women's soccer team on an otherwise unremarkable damp autumn evening in Manhattan, Ashley Gankiewicz looks like a typical 6-year-old girl. ("Six and a half," she'll eagerly supply if she's in earshot.) Her steps grow hesitant and her head bobs bashfully as a phalanx of players, holding posters adorned with her name, jog across the field and engulf her small frame. Her body language seems to suggest she's a lucky contest winner suddenly ...

It's clear that Ronda got a girl-crush on Miesha (nothing wrong with it, BTW, she is just very immature overall).Some of the stuff she says and some of her behaviour towards Miesha make it clear.I think it's one of those (childish) love-hate situations... If you ask about it, what has Miesha done on a personal level that makes Ronda so obsessive about her?

Oh really?Ronda's two top picks lost their fights and neither looked good doing so. Rousey was talking about how Pena shouldn't be able to breathe the same air as Shayna and clearly that attitude rubbed off. Not sure what game plan she had for the 2nd fight but Chris didn't do anything.So yeah take your crazy, unstable coach who seems far more obsessed with Meisha than prepping her team, I'll take the coach that's helping her team win.
9/25/13 6:13 PM by ChaosOverkill
I think it's debatable what made her cry, she went on a rant during that breakdown about how Tate was gonna pay for smiling not merely about her fighter losing, I think you're all muddying the waters, she's a good coach but's she's not a good actor either, her blog from years ago shows a deeply troubled person about body image and other things, that wasn't a troll that was her. SHe's not a bad person but she's not a troll either.

She's crying over her fighters. Not crying about Tate/Caraway. I'd rather have Ronda as a coach cause she is straight forward and you never have to guess where you stand. She seems more honest than Tate. I'd rather have crazy over smirky

St. Clement's Island State Park is a Maryland state park that preserves St. Clement's Island, an uninhabited island in the Potomac River that lies one-half mile southeast of Colton's Point, St. Mary's County, Maryland, in the United States. The St. Clement's Island Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1972.[4]
The park preserves the site of the March 25, 1634, landing of Maryland's first colonists, who had sailed from Cowes on the Isle of Wight in England four months earlier.[3][5] The date is commemorated annually as Maryland Day.[6] The island was a convenient, temporary base of operations for the 150 settlers as they negotiated with the Yaocomico Native Americans for land for a permanent settlement. They named the island in honor of Pope Saint Clement I, patron of mariners. It was the site of the first Roman Catholic Mass celebrated in the British-American colonies, said by Jesuit Father Andrew White. It is widely believed that the Mass took place on the day of the landing.[7]
St. Clement's Island formed part of St. Clement's Manor, which was granted by the Second Lord Baltimore to Dr. Thomas Gerard in 1639.[8] Gerard subsequently became a major landholder and political figure in Maryland and Virginia. After the island became the property of Gerard's daughter Elizabeth, who was married to Nehemiah Blackistone, it became known as Blackistone Island. The Blackistone family took ownership in 1669, and the island remained in that family for 162 years. The name reverted to St. Clement's Island in 1962 when the property was leased to the State of Maryland.[3]
In 1934, to celebrate Maryland's 300th birthday, Governor Albert Ritchie dedicated a 40-foot stone cross on the island, recognizing the site as the location where religious toleration in America had its foundation.[3]
For many years, the island was the site of the Blakistone Island Light.[9] Through the efforts of the St. Clement's Hundred, a local community organization created for the preservation of St. Clement's Island, a replica of the Blackistone Lighthouse was constructed and completed in June 2008.[3]
Activities and amenities[edit]
The island is only accessible by boat. A ferry leaves from the St. Clement's Island-Potomac River Museum near Colton's Point from June through September. Island activities include hiking, picnicking, fishing and hunting.[10] The park is administered by Point Lookout State Park.

Post subject: A couple questions... [solved]
First one is rather simple, how do I count the number of 0's in a column where each cell is either a 0 or a 1?
Second I think is rather complicated....
Suppose I have a section of a row, 5 cells long, with 5 numbers.
97 85 88 98 88
Now then, I'd like to have the ability to overwrite the last number (the 8
, by just say typing over it with 90, and then having all the numbers shift over one, but delete the 97.
So I have....
97 85 88 98 88
I overwrite the 88 with 90, and now I have
85 88 98 88 90
All the numbers have shifted to the left once, and the left most number has been deleted. Is it possible to do this? I'd imagine this is a rather complicated request, but maybe not!

You cannot do # 2 in the way you describe - it'd mean that every time you want to overwrite a cell value, that cell and all cells to the left of it would shift to the left. You will have to add a value to the right, then delete the left most cell.

Your second request is tricky because you are wanting to retrieve an overwritten cell value.
It might be possible using macro code but I personally don't know how.
The macro code is fairly simple provided you're prepared to accept a small change in the sheet's set up.
Instead of overwriting the 5th cell, use a 6th cell as an input cell.
The code can compare the 5th and 6th cells, and when they are different numbers, the values in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th cells would be moved to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th cells then the 5th cells value can be changed to the value in the input cell (6th cell).
The macro code can be triggered by the sheet's "Content changed" event (See "Sheet Events..." in the menu that appears when you right-click the sheet tab).
See the attached doc (Shift on change.ods) where F1 is the input cell for the five values in A1:E1.
When F1 is changed to a number that is not the same as the number in E1, B1:E1 values are moved to A1:D1 then E1 is changed to F1's value.
E1 is locked and the sheet is protected (no password) to prevent the user from accidentally changing E1 instead of the input cell F1, which would trigger the macro code after the E1 value has been overwritten and hence lost.

Hi Hoser117
Reading the timing of postings, and your speed in adding solved to the title makes me wonder if you have been misled by my reply (I only meant that 'I' was unable to do what you asked of Q2) as macro's are outside of my comfort zone.
Your second posted question makes me wonder if these are perhaps the last 5 scores in which you are tracking wins and loses. As such I have have an alternative that will not do what you asked but will give the appearance of such and may at least be of interest to you.
Try this out on a new spreadsheet. Copy paste the below formula into cell A2 and drag it (using the black square at the bottom right of the active cell) across to E2.
Then just start filling in numbers in the G column starting from G1.

Balzac's Paris, Dickens's London and Scott's Scottish Lowlands are mapped, alongside the territories of Spanish picaresque novels, African colonial romances and Russian novels of ideas, in a path-breaking study which suggests that space may well be the secret protagonist of cultural history.

Author information
Franco Moretti teaches English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. He is the author of Signs Taken for Wonders, The Way of the World and Modern Epic, all from Verso.
Review quote
"A wonderful achievement: a visual pleasure as much as a textual one; a work in the vanguard of a new critical school that marries grand theory with a puncturing wit." - Steven Poole, Guardian "It is not often that one can speak of the charm of an academic book: Moretti's oozes it." - Christopher Prendergast, London Review of Books
Editorial reviews
Creating a new field of literary geography, Moretti charts unexpected patterns in familiar works, and draws a number of epigrammatic insights from it. In 100 black-and-white maps and diagrams he shows the sources of wealth in English novels and where the villains came from; he dots a map of Paris with symbols showing the desires and daydreams of Balzac's characters and explains Dickens's achievement in linking the worlds represented by East London and the West End; he traces journeys in picaresque novels of Spain and in the German Bildungsroman. He also goes on to make some points about the effects of translation on the development of the novel form. Despite the title, this is not an atlas but a work of literary theory - and it does presuppose that you are quite well read, but we know you are. (Kirkus UK)

Google launches canvas view gadgets for iGoogle
Google is rolling out an updated version of iGoogle to users in the US.
The key feature of the updated version of iGoogle is "canvas view gadgets", which allows users to expand a gadget to access more content.
As an example, Google says now users can read news, play games and watch videos in full-page view, without leaving their homepage.
The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post gadgets offer users the option to view full-page text and videos that load quickly while there's sudoku puzzles and TV listings.
On the more practical side of things, with the Gmail gadget users can now perform simple actions on Gmail without leaving their iGoogle page, like send or reply to emails.
No word on when this will launch outside the States.

Our friends at CIRCLE have been releasing a wealth of useful data as part of their new YouthTruth initiative. This week, CIRCLE is probing deep and uncovering some sobering—yet ultimately encouraging—truths about non-college youth.
I was pleased to speak with community college leaders from across the country today to share best practices, offer League resources and discuss voter registration plans.
This week the League launched its 2012 First-time Voter Registration Project nationwide. LWVEF will be working with about 25 Leagues in 16 states through the fall to register and engage young voters, new citizens, and other newcomers to the election process! Keep an eye out for more updates from this program in the coming weeks.
Leagues in 21 communities recently wrapped up their work on the LWVEF 2012 High School Voter Registration Project. All in all, the fabulous volunteer teams visited a total of 166 schools and helped more than 8,500 young people register to vote for the first time!

PTS Services: Ride Sharing: Zipcar
What is Zipcar?
You buy pizza by the slice, download music by the song… why not pay for cars by the drive?
Zipcar is a unique car-sharing service for ASU students, faculty and staff, ages 18 and older. It provides affordable access to fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles by the hour or by the day. Use a Zipcar for errands, for meetings, or just for fun. Gasoline, car insurance, parking and maintenance are included. ASU has 25 cars across all four campuses in its Zipcar fleet.
How does it work?
Once you become a member, you receive a Zipcard. This is your electronic "key" that unlocks the cars. Just make a reservation online for any available car, touch your Zipcard to the windshield reader, hop inside, locate the car keys on the steering column and off you go. When you are done, return the car to its assigned parking space and lock up. It's that simple.
How much does it cost?
Using Zipcar, you can save big bucks. AAA reports that it costs approximately $634 each month to own a car. Zipcar members just pay one simple hourly (or daily) rate that includes gas, insurance, maintenance, a Zipcar parking space, 180 free miles per trip, roadside assistance and 24-hour customer service. It costs as little as $7.50 per hour and $69 per day, depending on your vehicle selection and time of week. For $634, you could log more than 70 hours of Zipcar driving each month!
There is a $25 annual membership fee, but new members receive $35 in driving credit to use in the first 30 days. So... join and drive today!

"Why are those Dodger pitchers in the Reds bullpen?"-GAC August 28, 2009
Auto Tune to the stage please.
They all sound the same..like a car wreck.
Go Gators!

"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
I actually like that Katy Perry song "Teenage Dream." Being somewhat of a musical snob, that may be the toughest thing I've had to admit in my entire life. Let's keep that here, RZ.
This post is BABIP-lucky.

Talent isnt only based on style of your music either. Who says Taylor Swift couldnt write and perform other genres?
It's fine if you dont enjoy her music, I dont either, but the hate for it is pretty amazing. It's like people want to censor other peoples thoughts. Way to go.
I know plenty of people who dislike Tool, but I'm a huge fan. Some people just dont get other types of music. No reason to really tear it apart and hate it for the sake of your disdain for it.

Still she's one hell of a performer, no matter what you think of her music. Check out her CMA and other award show performances. She defenitly has talent at being an entertainer, if not a musician.

This just in: NHL players are generally unhappy with commissioner Gary Bettman. As with any labor dispute, there is ongoing animosity between the NHL and the NHL Players Association. As you can see from the photo above that TVA Sports passed along, some players in Montreal have decided to go elementary school with the whole thing and make hats bashing the perceived bad guy. For those of you who can't make it out, that says "Puck Gary" in fancy lettering above "2012-2013 NHL Lockout." According to Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette, Canadiens star Erik Cole says the hats could soon be available to the public with all proceeds benefitting charity. If grown men are going to act like children, they might as well do it for a good cause. We all want hockey to return, but I think most of us can agree that hats that say "Puck Gary" do absolutely nothing in terms of working toward a resolution. From what we hear, most fans would probably rather spend their money on sex toys while the lockout continues anyway. H/T Puck Daddy
