Even in big cities like Tokyo, small children take the subway and run errands by themselves. The reason has a lot to do with group dynamics.
It's a common sight on Japanese mass transit: Children troop through train cars, singly or in small groups, looking for seats.
They wear knee socks, polished patent-leather shoes, and plaid jumpers, with wide-brimmed hats fastened under the chin and train passes pinned to their backpacks. The kids are as young as 6 or 7, on their way to and from school, and there is nary a guardian in sight.
A popular television show called Hajimete no Otsukai, or My First Errand, features children as young as two or three being sent out to do a task for their family. As they tentatively make their way to the greengrocer or bakery, their progress is secretly filmed by a camera crew. The show has been running for more than 25 years.
Forget the Common Core, Finland's youngsters are in charge of determining what happens in the classroom.
"The changes to kindergarten make me sick," a veteran teacher in Arkansas recently admitted to me. "Think about what you did in first grade—that's what my 5-year-old babies are expected to do."
The difference between first grade and kindergarten may not seem like much, but what I remember about my first-grade experience in the mid-90s doesn't match the kindergarten she described in her email: three and a half hours of daily literacy instruction, an hour and a half of daily math instruction, 20 minutes of daily "physical activity time" (officially banned from being called "recess") and two 56-question standardized tests in literacy and math—on the fourth week of school.
That American friend—who teaches 20 students without an aide—has fought to integrate 30 minutes of "station time" into the literacy block, which includes "blocks, science, magnetic letters, play dough with letter stamps to practice words, books, and storytelling." But the most controversial area of her classroom isn't the blocks nor the stamps: Rather, it's the "house station with dolls and toy food"—items her district tried to remove last year. The implication was clear: There's no time for play in kindergarten anymore.
A new study finds that people today who eat and exercise the same amount as people 20 years ago are still fatter.
There's a meme aimed at Millennial catharsis called "Old Economy Steve." It's a series of pictures of a late-70s teenager, who presumably is now a middle-aged man, that mocks some of the messages Millennials say they hear from older generations—and shows why they're deeply janky. Old Economy Steve graduates and gets a job right away. Old Economy Steve "worked his way through college" because tuition was $400. And so forth.
We can now add another one to that list: Old Economy Steve ate at McDonald's almost every day, and he still somehow had a 32-inch waist.
A study published recently in the journal Obesity Research & Clinical Practice found that it's harder for adults today to maintain the same weight as those 20 to 30 years ago did, even at the same levels of food intake and exercise.
David Hume, the Buddha, and a search for the Eastern roots of the Western Enlightenment
In 2006, i was 50—and I was falling apart.
Until then, I had always known exactly who I was: an exceptionally fortunate and happy woman, full of irrational exuberance and everyday joy.
I knew who I was professionally. When I was 16, I'd discovered cognitive science and analytic philosophy, and knew at once that I wanted the tough-minded, rigorous, intellectual life they could offer me. I'd gotten my doctorate at 25 and had gone on to become a professor of psychology and philosophy at UC Berkeley.
I knew who I was personally, too. For one thing, I liked men. I was never pretty, but the heterosexual dance of attraction and flirtation had always been an important part of my life, a background thrum that brightened and sharpened all the rest. My closest friends and colleagues had all been men.
Meaning comes from the pursuit of more complex things than happiness
"It is the very pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness."
In September 1942, Viktor Frankl, a prominent Jewish psychiatrist and neurologist in Vienna, was arrested and transported to a Nazi concentration camp with his wife and parents. Three years later, when his camp was liberated, most of his family, including his pregnant wife, had perished -- but he, prisoner number 119104, had lived. In his bestselling 1946 book, Man's Search for Meaning, which he wrote in nine days about his experiences in the camps, Frankl concluded that the difference between those who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing: Meaning, an insight he came to early in life. When he was a high school student, one of his science teachers declared to the class, "Life is nothing more than a combustion process, a process of oxidation." Frankl jumped out of his chair and responded, "Sir, if this is so, then what can be the meaning of life?"
A financial check-in with the Gilded Age's richest families, several generations later
According to Time magazine, 90 percent of all rich families, from the Astors to the Ziffs, lose their fortunes by the third generation. This is remarkable, considering how comparatively easy it is to retain wealth once you have it. A recent analysis suggested that Donald Trump, for example, could be similarly wealthy if he had done nothing but put his eight-figure inheritance into the stock market: "If he'd invested the $200 million that Forbes magazine determined he was worth in 1982 into that index fund, it would have grown to more than $8 billion today."
Conversely, climbing several rungs on the income ladder takes ingenuity, grit, resilience, opportunity, and a heaping tablespoon of luck. Currently, poor children have only a 7.5 percent chance of making it even to the top 20th percentile as adults. Making money is hard; holding onto money when you're born with it shouldn't be.
Any attempt to address mass incarceration has to begin with an effort to tackle crime—and the social conditions linked to its rise.
With the publication of "The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration" Ta-Nehisi Coates has added an elegant and forceful voice to the growing frustration with the inefficacy and injustice of America's criminal-justice system. Mandatory-sentencing laws, the War on Drugs, juvenile-justice sentences that seem to do more to create than deter criminals, racial arrest and sentencing disparities: All are ready for a tough national cross-examination.
But even in the unlikely event that Washington and state legislatures successfully adapt the nation's crime policies to a safer, more racially sensitive era, the nation will still look around to find more black men in prison than it might expect or want. There's a simple reason for that, one that Coates himself notes: Relative to other groups, blacks commit more crimes. To understand why is to tackle some very hard-to-talk-about realities of black family life. And on that issue—and despite his announced interest in the topic—Coates has been the opposite of lucid.
In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don't like. Here's why that's disastrous for education—and mental health.
Something strange is happening at America's colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for The New Yorker about law students asking her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law—or, in one case, even use the word violate (as in "that violates the law") lest it cause students distress. In February, Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, wrote an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education describing a new campus politics of sexual paranoia—and was then subjected to a long investigation after students who were offended by the article and by a tweet she'd sent filed Title IX complaints against her. In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. "I'm a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me," the headline said. A number of popular comedians, including Chris Rock, have stopped performing on college campuses (see Caitlin Flanagan's article in this month's issue). Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have publicly condemned the oversensitivity of college students, saying too many of them can't take a joke.
American politicians are now eager to disown a failed criminal-justice system that's left the U.S. with the largest incarcerated population in the world. But they've failed to reckon with history. Fifty years after Daniel Patrick Moynihan's report "The Negro Family" tragically helped create this system, it's time to reclaim his original intent.
By his own lights, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, ambassador, senator, sociologist, and itinerant American intellectual, was the product of a broken home and a pathological family. He was born in 1927 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but raised mostly in New York City. When Moynihan was 10 years old, his father, John, left the family, plunging it into poverty. Moynihan's mother, Margaret, remarried, had another child, divorced, moved to Indiana to stay with relatives, then returned to New York, where she worked as a nurse. Moynihan's childhood—a tangle of poverty, remarriage, relocation, and single motherhood—contrasted starkly with the idyllic American family life he would later extol.
Why does a strong real-estate market push people to forgo getting an education?
Education is often prescribed as the antidote for a host of job issues: low wages, unemployment, and career stagnation. So it's no surprise that when the housing market burst and the economy started to fall apart, more Americans turned to college to help them weather the storm. That's not just a broad trend. There's actually a correlation specifically between the performance of the housing market and college attendance for some groups. Why is that?
A new paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research investigates.
Though college attendance grew during the past several decades, that growth saw a significant slowing between the late 1990s (when the housing sector started to pick up) and 2006, when it started to stall. According to the study, written by Kerwin Kofi Charles and Erik Hurst of the University of Chicago; and Matthew J. Notowidigdo of Northwestern University, the housing boom accounts for about 30 percent of the slowdown in college attendance of young adults aged 18 to 25 during that time period.

RODMAN The town doesnt stink.
At least not as much as it did two winters ago, when residents were complaining about unbearable odor to the Development Authority of the North Country, which runs the regional landfill at 23400 Route 177.
Now, those complaints have subsided, thanks to the installation of geosynthetic membranes that began in 2012. The membranes have trapped the stench of methane gas that is created by decomposed trash. The $3.5 million capital project at the landfill was approved by the authority in 2011 to reduce emissions and comply with regulations from the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The first phase of the project, covering 14 acres on cells 6 and 7 with membrane material, will be done in about a month, according to the authority. The final phase, to cover the remaining six acres, will be done by the fall.
Thanks to the project, theres definitely been an improvement in fugitive emissions this year, said Chad W. Hutton, consulting engineer for the authority. Along with reducing the escape of methane gas, Mr. Hutton said, the barrier keeps rain from entering the landfill. Water becomes leachate when it gets contaminated by trash underground. And less leachate collected reduces expenses for the authority, which hauls out thousands of gallons of leachate every day. The authority pays to transport the liquid to the city of Watertowns wastewater treatment plant at 700 William T. Field Drive.
About a half-dozen workers were busy installing a permanent membrane Friday, situated on a steep slope of cell 7. About the size of a football field, the black membrane has taken workers several months to install, said Richard R. LeClerc, solid waste management division manager. Its three layers thick. In between two lightweight layers of geosynthetic material is a thick, low-density polyethylene plastic that looks like carpet. Mr. LeClerc said that material is fused onto the geosynthetic layers to ensure a tight fit. Seams mark the membrane with visible lines, making it look like a football field.
Capping cells 6 and 7 with this material is part of the long-term strategy to manage the landfill, Mr. LeClerc said. Those two cells are situated at the center of the landfill, which will eventually look like a pyramid when it becomes full about 10 years from now. On this area, now flat, workers will install a temporary membrane this summer, a thinner layer of protection than the permanent type on the perimeter. It is temporary, Mr. LeClerc said, because the land will be filled with trash again in five to seven years, once the newly built cells 10 and 11 on the northern side are full.
Along with installing membranes over cells 6 and 7, the capital project includes the installation of 32 wells to capture methane gas underground, 17 of which are complete. Gas trapped in the network of underground cells is directed by plastic pipes to an off-site gas-to-energy plant, where it is converted into electrical power.
Though Rodman residents are still occasionally bothered by the odor from the landfill, Mr. LeClerc said, the membrane has greatly reduced that nuisance. While cold air during the winter often gives odors the chance to settle, he said, no residents complained this year.
The odor has improved considerably, and is mostly weather-dependent, he said.

Ford's theater
Event website >
In the Tony-winning musical farce "Hello, Dolly!," the irritating but extremely wealthy Horace Vandergelder hires matchmaker Dolly Levi to find him a spouse. Dolly soon schemes her own plan to seduce Vandergelder's herself, while simultaneously arranging romantic pairings for his niece, his clerks and two of Manhattan's most eligible shop girls. Based on Thornton Wilder's "The Matchmaker," Jerry Herman's memorable music and enchanting lyrics place the irresistibly naughty Dolly center stage, making the role one of the most notable and high-spirited in musical theater.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle/WGRZ Report
WEBSTER, N.Y. - The Rochester community and firefighters from all over the country will attend calling hours at Schroeder High School in Webster Saturday to pay respects to Mike Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka, two West Webster firefighters shot on Christmas Eve.
The first wake was held Friday night, and more than 1,000 people gathered to remember the victims of the Monday's tragic shootings.
Hundreds of local firefighters from districts across Western New York are attending the services in Webster.
"When it comes down to the loss of a brother fireman, we're one big family, and if that fire company needs anything, they got it," Kenmore firefighter Felix Coniglio told 2 on Your Side.
Saturday's crowd is expected to be much larger with perhaps as many as 5,000 people in attendance, officials said.
The calling hours run from noon to 3 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday. Chiapperini's funeral service will be held Sunday, and a Mass for Kaczowka will be held Monday.
Outside the school, Richard Yannotti, 13, was giving out hand warmers on a chilly Saturday as snow blanketed the parking lot. Yannotti and his mother, Bonnie, bought 300 of them to provide extra warmth for those waiting in the cold.
Jill Simoni has been a long-time friend of Chiapperini's wife, Kim, and came out Saturday to show her support. Simoni lives in Washington D.C. but was back home for the holidays.
"I think that everyone's doing a great job coming together to support Kim and her kids," she said.
Attendees are asked to park at Schroeder High School, 875 Ridge Road. Once that lot is full, vehicles will be directed to Thomas High School, 800 Five Mile Line Road where buses will be provided to Schroeder.
State Police officials said that motorists not attending the wake should avoid Ridge Road between Five Mile Line Road and Hard Road due to heavy traffic. About 100 people are working at Schroeder to keep things organized.
Dawn Nguyen, of Greece, NY, was charged Friday with buying two of the three weapons that William Spengler, Jr. used in the Christmas Eve shooting of four volunteer firefighters.
More information can be found at the West Webster Fire Department's website.

Outdoor Research Men's Helium Hybrid Jacket
As the name implies, this is a hybrid between a windshirt and a rain jacket. It's lightweight jacket and a good choice when the forecast looks good, but as we all know can change. I was intrigued when I came across this garment—a hybrid between a windshirt and a rain jacket. I often head out to the mountains with the forecast favorable, but know that mountain showers are always a possibility and thus carry both a windshirt and a hardshell—but rarely wearing the hardshell.

Arc'teryx Men's Psiphon SL Pullover
I got this as a replacement for the Squamish. It's a decent jacket, but a little awkward. Fit Disclaimer: I'm 5'10" 155 lbs and very lean. I have small shoulders, a 29-inch waist and always fit a size small. I tend to run very hot as soon as I start moving. But get cold quickly. I find that Black Diamond Dawn Patrol series and Marmot fit me best and most brands' Trim fits feel normal to me. What works or doesn't for me may Or may not for you. I've taken this jacket on a number of multi pitch climbs,… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Mithril Jacket
Great waterproof soft shell jacket. Durable and stylish. A great soft shell jacket. I have used it skiing and as a hiking jacket, and it had no problems keeping me dry in rain and snow showers. Also became my around town jacket in the late fall and early spring. It is a good mid weight, not overly warm (which is good for me, I tend to overheat), but provides much more warmth that my other rain shells. Velcro wrist adjustments work great, much prefer them to the elastic style. Plenty of pocket space… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Helium Hybrid Jacket
A lightweight, breathable jacket, that packs down small, and won't weigh you down. In my never-ending quest to find the perfect lightweight wind shell, I have purchased and re-sold many a jacket. Either the fit is wonky, or there is no breathability, or they provide little protection. I pondered this jacket when I first read about it in Backpacker, and recently found it on sale, so took the bait. The jacket fits very nicely. It is a trim fit around the torso, which enhances its ability to breathe,… Full review
Loki Men's Mountain Hoodie
Great ideas (built-in balaklava and mitts) and could be a game changer, but the quality is not there yet. I love the design of the hoodie. Adding a face mask and mitts to the existing jacket is very useful. I am always leaving the house underdressed for the weather and the Loki addresses this very well. Many times I go to work and when I come out my car is covered in snow and ice. I end up scraping off the build up with bare hands and freeze; the mitts solve that. Also, when I go cross-country skiing… Full review
Patagonia Men's Alpine Houdini
Hello, backpackers. I fully agree with the last review. I would just add one important thing: I bought it and was very satisfied and with the nice light blue color too. However I noticed that when tightening the back hood elastic it is OK on the top of the head, but the cheeks and chin are widely open to the rain that comes in.

In response to prolate0spheroid's comment:
If what Incognito said was right--that he and Martin regularly texted each other back and forth with similarly threatening messages--then the idea that Martin was planning a lawsuit for months really makes no sense. Why would he create evidence that he was a willing participant in these exchanges if he wanted to sue?
The much more likely scenario is that Martin simply broke down emotionally from the constant hazing and decided he needed a break from it. There's a possibility he's not planning to sue anyone for harassment. He may just be trying to get out of his contract with the Dolphins so he can seek employment elsewhere where the locker room situation is more to his liking.
Yeah, it's really likely that Martin broke down and started sending threatening messages as a joke from the emotional stress. How about the bleedingly obvious conclusion that the 1100 texts shows they were friends who thought those texts were funny and never took them serious.
Or maybe Martin was trying to play along with it but didn't really like it and finally decided to leave? I don't know why that's so hard to comprehend.
Playing along 1100 times! That's more texts than I have to my wife in 5 years. What about when he texted him after leaving that he doesn't blame Richie? It's hard to believe because there's no evidence to support your story.

The cramped Mobil gas station at 1268 Arsenal St. soon will be demolished and replaced with a convenience store nearly six times its size.
In 2008, Rerob LLC, DeWitt, owners of the Express Mart convenience store, proposed and received approval to build a 5,000-square-foot store to replace the 950-square-foot structure near the entrance to Interstate 81, but never went through with the plans.
But a company representative, Syracuse attorney Paul J. Curtin Jr., said earlier this week that the company again is ready to go ahead with the project, wishing it could start yesterday.
Mr. Curtin and another company representative attended Tuesdays city Planning Board meeting to present a few minor changes to the site plan approved in 2008.
They did not say what put the plans on hold for so many years, but city officials surmised the delay may have been caused by nearby road construction that was being completed at the time.
The new building will sit farther back from Arsenal Street and behind the existing structure. Plans do not include changing the canopy or gas pumps.
It will feature a drive-up window, a coffee station, more inventory and a separate building to house a car wash. A similar store exists in Fayetteville, they said. The existing store sells gas and the typical array of convenience store items but does not offer coffee or other treats.
The new Express Mart will join a Starbucks nearby and a Dunkin Donuts store just down the road.
Itll be coffee heaven out there, said Kenneth A. Mix, the citys planning and community development coordinator.
He also noted the Sunoco convenience store across the street completed a similar project about a year ago.
The car wash may have to compete with the old Americas Car Wash that sits in front of Salmon Run Mall. A state trooper from south of Syracuse who owns about 15 car washes in the state has shown interest in buying the vacant automated car wash and reopening it under the name Classy Chassis.
On Tuesday, the Planning Board gave a green light to relocating the Express Marts drive-up window to the back of the building from the original plans, but instructed the developers to correct a problem with the overlapping of the drive-through and exit lanes.
Planning Board members want to make sure vehicles can maneuver through the property without any problems, they said.
The project will close the store during construction. If all goes well, the new store will open before the end of the year.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Think the disappointing U.S. jobs report for December has dampened the optimism of economists about the new year? Think again.
Most economists think the dismal 74,000 increase in net hiring last month was a fluke caused by poor weather and seasonal-adjustment problems that will soon be revised away or prove to be an aberration.
The way those with a sunnier view see it, the road is clear for the U.S. to produce its fastest spurt of growth since the Great Recession. There's no big crisis in Washington brewing, U.S. households are better off financially and businesses are raking in the profits. Nor are there any major global threats to the economy on the horizon.
Consider the new forecast by top economists at the nation's leading bank firms. They predicting the U.S. economy will hit 3% growth in 2014 for the first time in nine years.
The forecast by the advisory panel of the American Bankers Association is no outlier, either. A rising number of economists predict the U.S. will meet or beat the 3% threshold.

"We see 2014 as somewhat of a breakout year," said Christopher Low, chairman of the ABA's 13-member panel and chief economist of FTN Financial.
President Barack Obama, faced with sagging poll numbers, hopes economists are right and he's telling the public the same thing.
"I say this can be a breakthrough year for America," Barack Obama said in a speech late last week. "The pieces are all there to start bringing back more of the jobs that we've lost over the past decade."
Government, heal thyself
So what makes 2014 different?
For starters, Washington is on track to pass budget bills to fund the government through the next two years and no new tax increases are coming down the pike. For the first time in five years Republicans and Democrats appear ready to play nice and avoid a wrenching fiscal fight that would undermine the economy again.
"A new leaf has been turned over," said Peter Hooper, chief economist of Deutsche Bank. "And this is huge."
Of course, Washington may find other ways to hold back growth. Some economists fret the new health-care law could have a negative impact on hiring and spending. Others say the federal government has been too tardy to get behind the boom in U.S. energy production, depriving the economy of even more jobs and growth.
Still, the budget truce is expected to give businesses more confidence and allow them to better map out their spending, hiring and investment decisions for the next few years.

THAOS is a global, multi-center, longitudinal observational survey open to all patients with transthyretin-associated amyloidoses (ATTR), including ATTR-PN (polyneuropathy), ATTR-CM (cardiomyopathy) and wild-type ATTR-CM. It is open-ended with a minimum duration of 10 years. Patients will be followed as long as they are able to participate.
The principal aims of this outcome survey are to better understand and characterize the natural history of the disease by studying a large and heterogenous patient population. Survey data may be used to develop new treatment guidelines and recommendations, and to inform and educate clinicians about the management of this disease.

Kate Moss may have popularized the "heroin chic" look in the early-'90s, but according to her, she's never actually done the drug.
The supermodel, who had quite the cocaine scandal in 2005, is speaking out against some of the substance abuse issues that have plagued her for years in the new issue of Allure.
"The heroin [rumors], I was like, 'Oh, it's just ridiculous. I don't do heroin. Just because I wear a bit of black eyeliner that's smudged," she tells the mag.
Another issue the tackles during the interview: Her weight.
While she was rail thin during her Calvin Klein days, Moss insists she didn't have an eating disorder.
"The anorexic thing was a lot more upsetting, to be held responsible for somebody's illness," she says. "I wasn't anorexic."
Check out the gallery above to see how more famous CK models have aged through the years -- and find out if they're still smoking hot!

WASHINGTON (AP/WUSA) - The individual mandate survives.
The Supreme Court has upheld the heart of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul -- ruling in favor of the requirement that most Americans can be required to have health insurance, or else pay a penalty.
READ:Health Care Ruling Opinions (PDF)
The decision means the historic overhaul will continue to take effect over the next several years, affecting the way countless Americans receive and pay for their personal medical care.
The ruling also hands President Barack Obama a campaign-season victory.
The court found problems with the law's expansion of Medicaid. But even there, it said the expansion could proceed as long as the federal government does not threaten to withhold the entire Medicaid allotment to states if they don't take part in the extension.
Ron Pollack of Families USA was overjoyed. He says thefederal governmentprovides 100% of the funding for Medicaid expansion for the first three years and that the feds contribution to the states never goes below 90% after that. He doubts many states will turn down that kind of money.
Twenty-six states sued the Department of Health and Human Services to overturn the act. Many of them have failed to set up the insurance exchanges designed to make it easier for people to get affordable health insurance. They may now have to scramble to set them up by 2014, or the feds will do it for them.
The court's four liberal justices, Stephen Bryer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, joined Roberts in the outcome. Most legal observers had pinned Justice Anthony Kennedy as the swing vote, but he offered a blistering dissent instead and said the whole law should have been thrown out.

I recently downloaded Lmule and got confused during the installation...
I'll do a play by play: Downloaded the tar.gz file and unzipped it.
In the readme file I am told to install wxWindows 2.0.4 (pretty sure I need it, as doing a ./configure... didn't work)
You will need wxWindows 2.4.0 and my patches to wxWindows 2.4.0. If you do not
patch wxWindows, you will run into huge problems. Patch is also included
in this package (docs/wx-patch).
Applying wx-patch:
cd wxGTK-2.4.0 (or wherever you have extracted wxWindows sources)
patch -p0 < wx-patch
Then compile wxWindows. GTK1 or GTK2, whatever suits you the best. GTK2 does
not flicker so much I have used following configure parameters:
For GTK2:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gtk2 --enable-timedate --enable-gui --enable-protocol --enable-http --enable-ftp --enable-resources --enable-prologio --disable-debug --enable-final --enable-timer --disable-gtk --disable-profile --enable-optimise
For GTK1:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gtk2 --enable-timedate --enable-gui --enable-protocol --enable-http --enable-ftp --enable-resources --enable-prologio --disable-debug --enable-final --enable-timer --with-gtk --disable-profile
but after cd into docs and typing patch -p0 < wx-patch I get this error:
can't find file to patch at input line 28
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
|diff -u -r ../wxGTK-2.4.0/samples/thread/thread.cpp ./samples/thread/thread.cpp
|--- ../wxGTK-2.4.0/samples/thread/thread.cpp 2003-01-05 13:55:40.000000000 +0200
|+++ ./samples/thread/thread.cpp 2003-01-19 18:47:03.000000000 +0200
File to patch:
after specifying the wx-patch as the file to patch, it creates two folders : wx-patch.orig and wx-patch.rej
so now when I try to compile wx-windows using that long ./configure command (the one for GTK2) I get a : no such file or directory...where did I go wrong?
sorry for the length, I'm new at this so don't want to leave anything out
thanx a lot

- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound ground buffalo
- 2 celery ribs
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored (left unpeeled)

While temperatures across the state are warming, some mountain areas still have snow, limiting off-highway vehicle (OHV) riding areas.
OHV use in wet snow and mud damage resources and can lead to scarring of trails and hillsides.
OHV managers remind riders to use good judgment and consider riding alternatives.
Off-Highway Vehicle Education Specialist Eric Stucki reminds parents that now is a good time to register their child for an OHV education course. The Know Before You Go! training course is required by Utah law.
These classes allow drivers eight through 16 to legally operate OHVs.
Drivers 16 years and older must have a valid driver's license or OHV education certificate.
Remember, children under age eight cannot operate an OHV on public land.
Also, Utah law requires riders under 18 to wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet. However, officials encourage all riders to wear helmets. Education classes help prevent injuries by teaching young riders and their parents about safe riding, weight distribution, handling, shifting, speed, and riding within your ability. For registration materials or more information, call the OHV Information Center at 1-800-OHV-RIDE or 1-800-648-7433 from outside the Salt Lake area or 538-RIDE.

Bundle up but not for long. The recent cold snap will be gone soon.
What may be the last of the north countrys freezing temperatures hit this morning, and lows will swing back into the upper 40s and mid-50s by Wednesday.
Well see a temperature jump of 10 to 15 degrees, said James A. Mitchell, meteorologist with the National Weather Service, Buffalo.
Although temperatures missed record lows by about 10 degrees, Mr. Mitchell said Monday that it would be possible for Lowville to get close overnight. In 2005 for todays low, temperatures hit 25 degrees in the early hours.
Watertowns record low was 27 degrees in 1965.
And although it may have felt like it, no record low temperatures were reached Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
Although Buffalo and Burlington NWS put out freeze warnings for Oswego County and the Champlain Valley, all areas of Northern New York hit below freezing overnight Sunday. Freeze warnings to warn farmers are based on typical last spring frost dates for planting zones, and that date doesnt arrive until Wednesday for Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
Itll be below freezing everywhere, Mr. Mitchell said. A very large air mass moved in overhead straight out of Canada and down into the northeast United States. Up across the Tug Hill area, it will probably be in the mid- to upper 20s. Right on the lake shores, it will be OK. (Tuesday), the wind will start switching around.
At Burlington, National Weather Service meteorologist Jason E. Neilson predicted Massena will be two or three degrees above record low temperatures of 28 degrees. Because of the database system he was using, he said he did not know the year that record was set.
Well get through this stretch here and then start warming up again, he said, predicting temperatures into the 70s by the end of the week.
Mr. Mitchell said this type of weather pattern is typical as spring shifts into summer.
It looks like were going to an above normal temperature again, he said.
