Still trying to change the definition of a concept, using this forced semantic interpretation to support your position, I see.

Socialism is an economic system characterised by social

" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common
, state
, or citizen
of equity.[2] There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them.[3] They differ in the type of social
they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.[4]
Merriam Webster's Dictionary wrote:
any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental
and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
The American Socialist Party wrote:
Central to the meaning of socialism is
common ownership
. This means the resources of the world being owned in common by the entire global population.
Nothing FORCED about that definition, that's what "socialism" actually is, and the key point of the definition is OWNERSHIP. That it is often used inaccurately by people who don't know what the hell they're talking about doesn't change this definition.
I'm really not interested in whatever fringe opinions you may want to dig up via google
Yeah, it doesn't get much more "Fringe" than the dictionary and Wikipedia.
I'm half tempted to dig up my college history textbooks on the subject which include a similar definition plus analysis plus historical examples and outlined differences with other theoretical/practicable systems -- e.g. fascism, communism, libertarianism, mercantilism, monarchism, etc -- but I doubt the twenty minutes it'll take to pull my books out of storage and transcribe all that would be worth the effort.
And, of course, there's no such thing as a pure capitalist state (nor is it desirable)
Which would be exactly what I meant when I said that capitalism always fails when it is implemented properly, which it almost never is (and is why it succeeds as often as it does).
FYI, there is no working definition -- OTHER than the lunatic fringe of the right wing -- where "socialism" is defined as "anything that limits capitalism."

It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Slow Pain
Upon striking a deal with Ruthless Records, Three Deep's musical hopes were shattered by the devastating death of fellow West Coast rapper Eazy-E. This misfortune led Slow Pain and A.L.T. to venture off into solo projects. Slow Pain signed with Thump Records in the mid-'90s and recorded The Baby OG, which included the popular cut "Money Maid." New projects surfaced into the new millennium: Slow Pain was working with hardcore rapper Too $hort and shaping a new group with Kid Frost, Mellow Man Ace, A.L.T., and O.G.enius (the Blvd. Knights). His sophomore effort, The Hit List, was released in March 2000. Lil' Don Juan and Presents Old Town Gangsters were both issued the following year. Raider 4 Life appeared in 2003, followed by L.A. Blues in 2004 and In the Hood in 2005. ~ Stacia Proefrock

New Honor Society Members Inducted at Chesapeake
Posted on Wednesday, June 07, 2006
Judiann Bianco of Chestertown and Brandy Bonomo of St. Michaels take the Phi Theta Kappa oath during the spring induction ceremony at Chesapeake College.
WYE MILLS Thirty-one new members were recently inducted into the Alpha Sigma Pi Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) national honor society at Chesapeake College.
Family members, friends and Chesapeake employees attended the candlelight ceremony where the students were welcomed into the international scholastic honor society.
Chesapeake President Stuart Bounds praised the chapter for its activism and long history of success. He also praised members for seeking knowledge.
"Grades recognize learning, but scholarship is a great deal more than grades," Dr. Bounds said. "It´s more about reaching an understanding of what you don´t know than what you do know. Knowledge is elusive. It´s important to recognize different perspectives."
To join PTK, students must have a 3.5 cumulative grade point average at least 12 hours of coursework completed, and a declared major.
Assistant Professor of Biology Greg Farley, who is also a PTK advisor, said the members do more than earn good grades.
"They are excellent students in that they do more than worry about the grades. They want to learn as much as they can," Farley said. "They ask questions and do extra research on a regular basis."
PTK includes community service in its mission, so the Chesapeake chapter conducts several community service projects each year. The organization this spring signed on as a partner with Better World Books. The PTK chapter collected used textbooks on campus and shipped them to the Better World Books´ their central warehouse. From that warehouse, textbooks are sold, and the proceeds are converted into funding for non-profit literacy ventures in the United States, Africa, and Asia. All textbooks collected at Chesapeake College and sold by Better World Books will benefit the National Center for Family Literacy, an organization working to provide hurricane victims on the Gulf Coast with books and literacy training, according to Farley.
During the induction ceremony, the chapter recognized the late Chesapeake professor George Wilson by making him an honorary member. After Wilson´s family accepted the posthumous award, Professor Jean-Louis Marchand paid tribute to his friend and colleague.
Marchand said that, unlike many people today, Wilson "lived completely in the moment". In an age when people multi-task throughout the day, Wilson would stop and listen to everyone he encountered.
"George was a man of principle and integrity, and we miss him very much," Marchand said. Members of Wilson´s family attended the ceremony to accept an honorary membership plaque.
Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society for two-year colleges, with more than 1,200 chapters at community, technical and junior colleges in all 50 states, Canada, Germany, and U.S. territories. To join PTK, students must have a 3.5 cumulative grade point average, at least 12 hours of coursework completed, and a declared major.
The new PTK members at Chesapeake College are:
Caroline County: Jeanette L. DeLude of Greensboro, Leah B. Lister of Denton, Candelaria McElhinny of Federalsburg, Rebecca A. Mielke of Denton, and Carol B. Seward of Denton.
Dorchester County: Logan K. Hallowell of Hurlock, Darah E. Jackson of East New Market, Kimberly M. Robinson of Vienna, and Cheryl A. White of Hurlock.
Kent County: Judiann Bianco of Chestertown, Susan O. Clayton of Chestertown, Trudy E. Kelley of Chestertown, Karen Van Pelt of Chestertown and Jennifer M. Wilson of Chestertown.
Queen Anne´s County: Pamela A. Callahan of Queenstown, Katie R. Coursey of Queenstown, Erin M. Dickey of Stevensville, Caitlin M. Donnelly of Centreville, Kaleb R. Jenkins of Chester, Rebecca I. Killian of Stevensville, Alicia Thibodeau of Stevensville and Dorothy M. Zeller of Queenstown.
Talbot County: Kurt M. Batarilan of Easton, Brandy Y. Bonomo of St. Michaels, Elizabeth I. Dawson of Trappe, Daniel Dawson, Jr. of Trappe, April L. Haddock of Easton, Tara M. Johnson of Easton, Stephen M. Myers of Easton, Laura S. Schulze of Easton and Susan M. White of Easton.

Stagestruck Vermont girl Jenny Yates (Anne Shirley) manages to land a job with a ragtag stock company. This she does over the objections of her grandfather (Edward Ellis), who'd disowned Jenny's mother when she became an actress. After a series of amusing and bemusing setbacks, Jenny is discovered by a big-time producer and cast in the Broadway production "Virtue's Reward." Both the girl and the show are flops, but she finds a happily-ever-after with handsome Phil Greene (Phillips Holmes). Based on a play by David Carb, Chatterbox contains some knowing insights about provincial theater and the vagaries of show business. Lucille Ball makes a brief but amusing appearance as a snobbish small-time leading lady. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Residential Propane Gas Service
Detweiler's Propane Gas Service has been providing impeccable service to our residential customers for over 60 years! Yes, same family, same service for over 60 years.
Propane gas and natural gas are a clean and efficient way to fuel your Florida lifestyle. With its natural ability to efficiently deliver total energy value, it's no wonder Floridians continue to turn to propane and natural gas to meet their growing needs. There are numerous ways to use propane in your home:
Propane Gas & Natural Gas Range & Cooktop
You don't have to be a gourmet cook to appreciate propane's fast, precise temperature control. It produces an even heat with no hot spots to scorch sauces or burn tops of cakes or casseroles. Anyone who endures power outages should understand the value of propane gas and natural gas cooking. While most modern propane gas and natural gas appliances have electronic ignition, gas ranges and cooktops can also be lit with a match.
Propane Gas & Natural Gas Fireplaces
Today's propane gas and natural gas fireplaces come in every style, from traditional to crescent beehive, rustic and Victorian.
There's a style and a model for every room and taste. And they burn so cleanly and efficiently, they can heat the whole room. With remote controls, you can turn the fire's glow on and off and regulate the amount of flame and heat, all from your chair.
We carry several different brands including White Mountain Hearth by Empire and RH Peterson Real Fyre. We can set you up with beautiful logs and if you need the firebox we sell those too.
Propane Gas & Natural Gas Clothes Dryer
High-efficiency propane gas & natural gas dryers will dry clothes quickly and for less money than electric models. They also produce less static cling. Many gas dryers can sense when clothes are dry, which saves energy and reduces the risk of shrinkage. Propane gas & Natural gas dryers now offer touch controls, digital displays, and microcomputer-based temperature settings for sensitive fabrics.
Propane Gas & Natural Gas Water Heaters
Because they are the most efficient, propane gas & natural gas water heaters are cheaper to operate than electric models, and the recovery rate is up to 40 percent faster. Propane gas & Natural gas still heats your water when electricity is unavailable. You can still bathe, do your dishes, and wash clothes in hot water.
Tankless Water Heaters
For supreme energy efficiency, a propane tankless water heater is hard to beat.
An Energy Star-qualified propane tankless water heater can cost about 60 percent less to operate than a standard electric storage tank, while providing a longer-lasting stream of hot water. Because a tankless unit does not need to maintain a stored water supply, it can reduce standby energy loss by up to 15 percent compared with storage water heaters... As an added bonus, tankless water heaters take up less space, are less subject to corrosion, and can last more than twice as long as a tank-style system.
Instant heat when you want it? Tankless water heaters are "on demand" systems. When you open your hot water tap, the unit senses the demand and starts the heating process. As water flows through a heat exchanger, it quickly warms to your desired temperature. When the tap is closed, the propane heater automatically shuts off. No wasted time and more important to your pocketbook, no wasted energy.
Use more, save more. While tankless water heating systems are clearly more efficient, they are also becoming more affordable. Depending on size and volume, tankless water heaters are priced as low as $400 plus installation. While payback times will vary, a whole-house tankless water heating unit can replace a 40-gallon tank water heater while providing virtually endless hot water for all of your needs. So, if your family uses a lot of hot water each month, a propane tankless water heater can deliver instant heat and lower energy bills when compared to an electric tank unit.
Outdoor Living
Not long ago, an outdoor cooking area consisted of a portable grill and a picnic table. Today, more and more homeowners are stepping up their game, with some creating elaborate built-in kitchens, while others opt for grills with an abundance of new prep and cooking features. What do all of these have in common? Propane or Natural Gas!
Dream it? Do it!
If you have your heart set on only the best in an outdoor kitchen, propane's clean, versatile energy will meet all of your performance and safety needs. A premium built-in cooking area – complete with large grilling surface, cooktop, oven, and rotisserie – can easily be set up to operate with a propane cylinder or on your home's main supply tank.
It's not hard to figure out why about 60 percent of home grillers use propane gas grills. Propane & Natural gas grills light instantly, heat faster than charcoal, and release less carbon monoxide, particular matter, and soot. What does that mean for you? Great-tasting food prepared in less time.
While the centerpiece of propane and natural gas grills are the surface that enables cooking over open flame, that's just the start of what today's outdoor units can offer. Like their built-in counterparts, many higher-end portable grills now come equipped with extra features such as enclosed grilling drawers and stainless-steel burners for preparing side dishes. For added convenience and safety, many larger units even come with spring-assisted hoods, enabling a busy chef to open and close the lid with ease. In addition, surface lighting and LED temperature displays are now available on many grills and ensure safe cooking long after the sun goes down.
Gas Pool and Spa Heaters
Few things are better than a dip in warm water on a cool night. While there are many available options to keep outdoor pools or spas warm and inviting, propane is an excellent choice. In fact, the Energy Department says propane heaters can warm pools and spas more quickly than electric heaters and can maintain heat better in cold weather.
Fast, efficient heating
Today's advanced propane water heaters can be used to warm above-ground and in-ground pools and spas. With heat output of up to 400,000 British thermal units per hour, propane gas and natural gas heaters can quickly bring even large pools to a comfortable temperature. To ensure safety, many modern pool heaters are equipped with innovative features, such as sensors that shut off the unit if water temperatures rise above prescribed limits. Bottom line: you can rely on propane pool and spa heat to deliver safe, steady warmth all through the cool months – or just for special occasions with family and friends.
Unaffected by weather conditions
While electric heat pumps are available for pools and spas, the Energy Department reports that their initial cost is higher than that of propane and other gas pool heaters. Heat pumps start losing efficiency once ambient temperatures fall below about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which means they use considerably more electricity to maintain water heat. Solar heating, of course, works only when there is a steady supply of sunny days.
We carry most brands of propane and natural gas pool heaters.
Lighting and Heating Products
Propane Gas & Natural Gas are reliable and clean energy sources for lighting exterior entryways, walks, driveways, landscaping, and outdoor entertainment spaces. To help extend the ambience, propane patio heaters and outdoor fireplaces are a great way to help your family cozy-up on cool days and chilly nights.
With a variety of styles and both wall-mounted and post-mounted options, propane lighting is an innovative way to complement the design of any home. Unlike electric bulbs, which can burn out or go dark during power outages, propane lights are a steady, reliable way to welcome guests, accent landscaping, and maintain home security.
Just as important, today's light fixtures offer convenience and safety features, such as on-off switches with automatic ignition. On decks and patios, propane lighting really shines.
Choose from a broad selection of tabletop lamps, many of which can operate on a standard camp-style propane cylinder. Meanwhile, you'll enjoy how tiki torches and pedestal propane lamps can create a great visual statement in your outdoor entertaining spaces.
These yard lamps eliminate the smell and residue that oil-burning torches can create, and many can burn for 10 hours or more on a portable propane cylinder.
Chilly weather is no match for a portable propane patio heater or outdoor fireplace.
From small tabletop heaters that can help warm up an intimate outdoor dinner to floor-standing fireplaces that can deliver a circle of radiant heat up to 20 feet in diameter, propane's clean, versatile energy can raise the outdoor air temperature by between 10 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. And they're 85 percent efficient, compared with the 15 percent efficiency of wood-burning fireplaces.
Most propane heaters and fireplaces feature automatic igniters for quick startup. Portable units typically offer many safety features, including an auto tilt valve that immediately shuts down the heater if it is knocked over.
Generators – Home Generator's

1992 Subaru Legacy LS 4x4 4 Cyl 2.2L
Transmissions & Drivetrains
Why Does my Subaru Legacy rev but not speed up when I press on the gas?
I have a 1992 automatic Subaru Legacy Wagon LS 4x4. When I first start the car and begin to push on the gas to speed up the engine will rev but the car will not speed up. If I let off the gas and press again it will work fine. It only does it when I am coming from being still to going up in speed. I checked the transmission fluid and it smells normal but it is a little brown colored not the cherry red which it should be. Could this be my problem and will the only thing I need to do is change the transmission fluid?

It's been 24 years since singer Karyn White released her mega anthem, 'Superwoman.'
- Filed Under
A WORKING MUSEUM. What an intriguing duo: The remnants of a British pop-punker of some note (Eric wrote a genre classic, "Whole Wide World") marries an American indie-rock singer-songwriter and, rather than making kids, they're making records. Now living in Catskill, they've played Rochester a few times, at Bop Shop shows and house concerts, charming audiences with Eric's droll humor, Amy keeping him somewhat centered. Unexpectedly, given Eric's nasal delivery, they sing beautifully together, even when their lines work against each other on the marvelous "Sombreros in the Airport." The guitar-driven songs are invariably layered with all kinds of neat little sounds and references to Spice Girls mugs; "1983" seems to pre-date Bowie by a year. From the opening spaghetti-western tilt of "A Darker Shade of Brown" to the full-blown psychedelic "Days of Jack and Jill" - which might have sprung from the head of Syd Barrett, given he's not using it anymore - this is a pleasure to the ear. - Jeff Spevak
CARPE DIEM. Some voices should not be silent for 18 years. They belong out in the open, soothing us like a warm breeze in the spring. It's been 18 years since Karyn White recorded an album. You remember her: She was not your "Superwoman" in 1988. Time has served White well. Her voice is soulful and slick one minute, gravelly the next on "Sista Sista." He delivery is earnest, the lyrics are heartfelt, in beautiful ballad "My Heart Cries." With the exception of "Dance Floor," an uptempo tune that has a hint of '80s in the groove, White managed not to sound dated on this CD. That's no easy task for a singer whose biggest hit was in the '80s. It is great to hear White again after all of this time. - Sheila Rayam
THE COMPLETE OKEH COLUMBIA & RCA VICTOR RECORDINGS 1925-1933. This is it, the Rosetta Stone of jazz, the seminal recordings by the jovial, innovative and extremely talented father of jazz. All agree that Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens (named after the number in his bands), are the root of everything in America's great improvisational music, both instrumentally and vocally. All that music - including "Wild Man Blues," "Potato Head Blues," "Struttin' with Some Barbecue," and the still-astonishing "West End Blues" - are here, as are important tunes recorded in the years immediately following, with Earl Hines, Bessie Smith and others. On "Heebie Jeebies," you'll hear the birth of scat (which occurred when Armstrong dropped the lyric sheet in the studio and had to sing something.) These recordings have been available before, but this is a beautifully engineered and annotated collection, also adding early work for the RCA label. - Jack Garner

Public reception set for world champ Trout
The Las Cruces Convention & Visitors Bureau and Hotel Encanto will host a reception for world champion boxer Austin Trout today from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Hotel Encanto, 706 S. Telschor, in Las Cruces.
Trout, the WBA world junior middleweight champion, successfully defended his title against Miguel Cotto on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
There will be entertainment, snacks and a cash bar. The public is invited.
Miner volleyball players named All-Region
UTEP junior standouts Jeane Horton and Xitlali Herrera have been named to the 2012 AVCA Midwest All-Region team.
Horton and Herrera became the second and third Miners in program history to receive All-Region honors, joining Kari Stacy who made the squad in 2005.
Horton, an outside hitter, started in all 29 matches, ranking 25th in the nation in points per set (4.92) and 28th in kills per set (4.3). She is second in the UTEP record book for total kills (469) registered in a single season. She also was named to the All-C-USA first team.
Herrera, a middle blocker, started in all 29 matches this season and led the team in hitting percentage (.300), helping UTEP secure the No. 62 spot in the nation for hitting percentage. She also was named to the All-C-USA first team and received C-USA All-Academic honors.
They are now eligible to earn All-American honors, which will be announced Dec. 12.
UTEP football players earn C-USA honors
Punter Ian Campbell was the only UTEP player to earn first- or second-team All-Conference USA recognition, as he was named the second-team punter in voting by the league coaches.
UTEP and Memphis were the only teams in the 12-school league that didn't have a first-team selection.
Kick returner Autrey Golden was UTEP's lone selection to the all-freshman team. Named to the honorable mention list were: receivers Nathan Jeffery and Mike Edwards (also as punt returner); offensive linemen James Nelson and Eloy Atkinson; defensive linemen Horace Miller, Greg Watkins and Marcus Bagley; linebacker Josh Fely; defensive backs DeShawn Grayson and Darren Woodard, Golden and long snapper Nick Dooley.

Radioiodine remnant ablation of differentiated thyroid cancer does not further increase oxidative damage to membrane lipids - early effect

Thyroid Research 2010, 3:7 doi:10.1186/1756-6614-3-7Published: 6 October 2010
Radioiodine (131I) therapy is widely accepted as an essential part of therapeutic regimens in many cases of differentiated thyroid cancer. Radiation-induced oxidative damage to macromolecules is a well known phenomenon. Frequently examined process to evaluate oxidative damage to macromolecules is lipid peroxidation (LPO), resulting from oxidative damage to membrane lipids. The aim of the study was to examine serum LPO level in hypothyroid (after total thyroidectomy) cancer patients subjected to ablative activities of 131I.
Materials and methods
The study was carried out in 21 patients (18 females and 3 males, average age 52.4 ± 16.5 years) after total thyroidectomy for papillary (17 patients) or follicular (4 patients) thyroid carcinoma. Hypothyroidism was confirmed by increased TSH blood concentration (BRAHMS, Germany), measured before 131I therapy. Activity of 2.8 - 6.9 GBq of 131I was administered to the patients orally as sodium iodide (OBRI, Poland). Concentrations of malondialdehyde + 4-hydroxyalkenals (MDA + 4-HDA), as an index of LPO (LPO-586 kit, Calbiochem, USA), were measured in blood serum just before 131I administration (day "0") and on the days 1-4 after 131I therapy. Sera from 23 euthyroid patients served as controls. Correlations between LPO and TSH or 131I activity were calculated.
Expectedly, serum LPO level, when measured before 131I therapy, was several times higher (p < 0.00001) in cancer patients than in healthy subjects, which is probably due to hypothyroidism caused by total thyroidectomy. However, we did not observe any differences between LPO levels after and before 131I therapy. LPO did not correlate with TSH concentration. In turn, negative correlation was found between 131I activity and LPO level on the day "2" after radioiodine treatment.
Radioiodine remnant ablation of differentiated thyroid cancer does not further increase oxidative damage to membrane lipids, at least early, after therapy.

Jeff reports (on French education) that:
> ... students slow or clumsy to takes notes (and read
> their own writing) have difficulties to adapt to secondary education
> and proceed to university.
In the USA, of course, just about everyone can "proceed to university":
at least, to *some* kind of university or college, since certain
schools have (shall we say) set their entrance-requirements quite low.
But the fact remains that students who have trouble taking
notes (or reading the notes that they take) have trouble adapting to
education past the primary level. (They may even have trouble WITHIN
the primary level, given the increased reliance of school-curricula on
creative writing, "journaling," and state-wide tets that increasingly
require timed handwritten essays.)
People in the USA will probably start worrying more, much
more, about this in March 2005, when a timed-handwritten-essay section
becomes part of the USA's Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT (taken
nationally, and used to judge students' ability to do college-level
work at those colleges where "college-level work" still means
anything.) Students taking the new SAT will have 25 minutes to compose
and pen a two-page essay on an assigned subject - an essay which the
graders will have 4 minutes to read and evaluate, and which will count
for 1/6 of the total SAT grade. (Completed essays will also go - as
scans - onto a special web-site open only to college-admissions
officers, who can then use these as part of their admit-or-reject
As anyone knows who has seen the handwritings of USA high-schoolers,
most of them cannot pen two legible pages in 25 minutes - someone given
two pages of their writing would need far more than 4 minutes just to
decipher (let alone to evaluate) the text.
Among the relatively few USA high-schoolers who do write
legibly, most of them can do so only at a laboriously slow rate. (In

We can expect that USA teen-agers (and their parents & teachers) will
suddenly care a lot more about handwriting (and will, specifically,
demand handwriting-training in schools and in SAT cram-to-pass
programs) as soon as the first batch of scores from the March 2004
exams reaches the students.
Already, I get anxious inquiries from students (as well as from
teachers and parents) about how to learn to write well enough to pass
existing or future tests that involve timed handwritten essays. (Teens
and even children can easily discern that they will soon need a skill
that no adult has ever bothered to teach them.)

Given the errors committed by most graphologists, I can only hope
*not*. Most graphologists, in fact, suspect and dislike a "too-good"
handwriting (e.g., a script that they regard as abnormally beautiful)
and also tend to suspect/dislike a handwriting that differs much from
the handwriting-styles that they learned about in graphology-school.
Few if any graphology-textbooks mention Italic, for instance, other
than perhaps to describe it as an affectation used by those writers who
have decided not to use some other, allegedly "real" handwriting that
they presumably had before they learned Italic. Therefore, many
graphologists will not analyze - or will not favorably analyze - any
Italic handwriting. Graphologists often get mad - REALLY mad - when I
given them evidence that quite a few schoolchildren in the USA and
elsewhere learn Italic as their first and only form of handwriting:
therefore, these schoolchildren, once grown, would not have any "real"
handwriting except Italic to present to the graphologist.
(I have seen at least one eminent graphologist turn a vivid shade of
magenta when I documented for her that, in the largest city of the
state where she lived, about 3/4 of people starting school during or
after 1976 had learned Italic in childhood: she regarded Italic as,
essentially, an adult accomplishment and "not a real handwriting
because everybody knows that real handwriting joins all of its letters
and uses the Palmer Method cursive capitals."

I know quite a few people who got into calligraphy and/or Italic
handwriting because their computers had calligraphic/Italic-handwriting
fonts which led them to wonder whether a human hand could produce the
same letter-forms.

Nikki A. Greene, Ph.D. | Assistant Professor of the Arts of Africa and the African Diaspora, Art Department, Wellesley College
Nikki A. Greene received her BA in Art History from Wesleyan University, and her Masters and Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Delaware. Dr. Greene examines African American and African identities, the body, feminism, and music in modern and contemporary art. She arrived at Wellesley College in 2011 where she held a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Africana Studies and Art Departments. She joined the Wellesley faculty as an Assistant Professor in the Art Department in 2013. Before her arrival at Wellesley, she held the Barra Foundation Fellowship in the Center for American Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to catalogue the African American art collections. She also taught at Swarthmore College, Temple University, Moore College of Art and Design, and Rutgers University at Camden. In January 2013, she gave a series of lectures on African Art at the Alle School of Fine Arts and Design at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia. More recently, she was the lead organizer of THIRD EXPOSURE~The Dark Room: Race and Visual Culture 3rd Annual Symposium, featuring Coco Fusco as the keynote speaker, that took place at Wellesley College on April 11, 2015. At the Black Portraitures II Conference in Florence, Italy, she presented "Facing the Music: Radcliffe Bailey, Sun Ra, and the African Diasporic Body" (May 2015).
Dr. Greene has investigated the significance of music in her research, jazz in particular, in the work of artists such as Aaron Douglas, Moe Brooker, and Radcliffe Bailey. Her book project, Rhythms of Glue, Grease, Grime and Glitter: The Body in Contemporary African American Art, presents a new interpretation of the work of Romare Bearden, David Hammons, Renée Stout, and Radcliffe Bailey, using key examples of painting, sculpture, photography, and installation by these prominent African-American artists as case studies in a re-examination of the conventions and stereotypes employed in the making of works of art and in the representations of black bodies and black identity in the 20th and 21st centuries. By examining how discourses such as music, literature and visual culture operate in concert with the cultural associations of the materials used by artists, she identifies these discourses as noteworthy conduits through which the artists' bodily presences prevail. Building upon these previous investigations into the aural possibilities of the visual, she treats the art of Renée Stout through the lens of funk music titled, "The Feminist Funk Power of Betty Davis and Renée Stout" in a special edition of the American Studies Journal (Fall 2013). Other recent publications include catalogue essays on Ellen Gallagher's Abu Simbel (2005-06) and Radcliffe Bailey's Echo (2011) for the exhibition A Generous Medium: Photography at Wellesley College, 1972-2012, and "Artists' Utopia? Cuban Art Defined at the Eleventh Havana Biennial" in the Delaware Review of Latin American Studies (December 2012).
Nikki A. Greene is originally from Newark, NJ, and she lives with her husband and two children in Massachusetts. She muses about her academic interests, travel, and the challenges of the work-life balance on this blog. For more about her "Musings," click here.

As a borrower, one of the most important consideration when choosing between loans is the Interest Rate (or Profit Rate in Islamic finance). The Interest Rate component of a loan itself can either be a Fixed or Floating (aka Variable) rate.
A fixed interest rate does not change throughout the duration of the loan. Because of this, the borrower knows exactly how much to pay in monthly installments every month. This is most suited for borrowers that do not want any surprises to their monthly commitments.
A floating interest rate is based on a Reference Rate (e.g. BLR, BFR, OPR, KLIBOR) that can change over the duration of the loan. This Reference Rate is controlled by the bank (e.g. BLR) or market determined (e.g. OPR) and can change at a moment's notice, affecting a loan's interest calculation. A change in interest payable could affect 2 things:
A typical floating interest / profit rate arrangement usually looks like this:
Together with the Reference Rate, the (+ OR -) component and the 'x%' determines how cheap/expensive the loan is. When comparing between different loans, borrowers typically place importance on the latter 2 components, as the Reference Rate component is typically similar between different banks. For example:
Using the above example, Bank B has the cheaper loan package. And the active interest rate at the time of calculation for Bank B would be 4.5%.
As a general rule, interest rates are lower in bad times and higher in good times. The most common option taken by borrowers today are Floating Rate loans due to the significantly cheaper interest rates at current levels compared to the Fixed Rate packages that are available today. But if you are looking for predictability, then Fixed Rate packages could be for you.
If you are unsure, make use of Loanstreet's proprietary comparison wizard to decide on whether to go for Fixed or Floating Rate options. This way, you can compare the best packages both options have to offer.

By SHAUN KIRBY
David Swain, convicted of murdering his wife, Shelley Tyre, in 1999 while on vacation in the British Virgin Islands, was freed last Thursday after judges of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court of Appeals overturned a 2009 decision that had incarcerated him for the past two years as part of a life sentence.
The Court of Appeals rescinded the 2009 murder conviction of Swain, a Jamestown resident and former councilman, because of inadequate instruction for the jury to handle evidence provided from a 2006 civil suit filed in Rhode Island. That case, filed against him by TyreŌĆÖs parents, was successful and awarded them $3.5 million, forcing Swain to file for bankruptcy.
The court also found that the 2009 trial judge, Indra Hariprashad-Charles, ŌĆświthdrew [SwainŌĆÖs] defense of accident,ŌĆÖ preventing him from a fair judgment. Dr. Joseph S. Archibald, SwainŌĆÖs defense attorney, argued both inadequacies to the three-judge panel on Thursday.
ŌĆ£The result is that we are satisfied that the trial judgeŌĆÖs withdrawal of the appellantŌĆÖs defense of accident and the absence of any or adequate directions for the jury to assist them in assisting the Rhode Island depositions of the appellant amount to material irregularities, [making] the appellantŌĆÖs conviction for murder unsafe,ŌĆØ the appeals court said.
The appeals court deemed that, considering it has been 12 years since Shelley TyreŌĆÖs death, a retrial would be impossible.
ŌĆ£We do not consider it appropriate to order a new trial,ŌĆØ the Court of Appeals said ŌĆ£particularly where the evidence falls short of establishing criminal liability, and 12 years have passed since the alleged offense.ŌĆØ
In 1999, Swain and his wife, along with another family, had been diving from their sailing vessel Caribbean Soul to a shipwreck nearby. Swain came up alone 35 minutes after the couple initially dove to the wreck, and TyreŌĆÖs body was found a short time afterwards. TyreŌĆÖs regulator was out of her mouth and her facemask ripped off, and all of her other gear was found to be in good working order. Tyre was a trained diver and in good physical condition, having logged 354 dives.
The 2009 court sentencing document also stated as fact that Swain made a number of unusual decisions after his wifeŌĆÖs body was brought back to the surface. Swain prevented a friend from issuing a Mayday call because ŌĆśhe did not want everyone coming around.ŌĆÖ Furthermore, according to Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) regulations, equipment from a diving accident must be held isolated until authorities take possession. TyreŌĆÖs equipment was held by the owner of a local business, and Swain had visited the establishment twice, ordering the owner to dispose of his wifeŌĆÖs equipment.
The case was initially ruled as an accident until TyreŌĆÖs parents brought their civil suit against Swain in 2006, finding him ultimately responsible for his wifeŌĆÖs death. Incarcerated and without any money, Archibald has defended his clientŌĆÖs innocence and deems that, because the 2009 decision was made inadequately, Swain has not been let go on a technicality.
ŌĆ£[Swain] was a good client and faced his fate with dignity,ŌĆØ said Archibald. ŌĆ£I told the Court of Appeals that there is no record of any unpleasantness between Mr. Swain and his wife leading up to the event.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£The allegations of the court were thus not based in fact, and it is unfortunate he had to take years of his life to wait on a decision,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been very pleased to help this man as it was not an easy case to argue. This decision was given on merit, not a technicality. The man is a grieving widower. Those are my views.ŌĆØ
The East Caribbean Supreme Court is different than any United States court in the sense that the judges are appointed independent of the government by a judicial commission. They are not political appointments based upon whichever government administration is in place.
ŌĆ£The judges here have more power than in the United States,ŌĆØ Archibald said. ŌĆ£They have unlimited jurisdiction and determined that Mr. Swain should be free.ŌĆØ
The court of appeals is also an itinerant one, moving from one island country to the next in order to hear cases. The written judgement of SwainŌĆÖs release has subsequently not been issued to the public.
ŌĆ£We had hoped to have a written judgment, but it has not come through yet,ŌĆØ said Archibald. ŌĆ£I will therefore not say a word outside of the written judgment, so far as the substance of the case is concerned.ŌĆØ
Attorney J. Renn Olenn, the prosecuting lawyer and representation for the Tyre family, was unavailable for comment after multiple attempts to contact him.

How I Got Here:
I became a Registered Real Estate Salesperson in 2004. Prior to that I worked at CIBC as an analyst for 8 years where I worked fresh out of graduation from the University of Toronto.
My Philosophy:
I believe in needs based selling. My goal is not to decide for my clients how much to spend, where to buy or what to do. It is to provide them with the information they need to make an informed decision. I am not a pushy salesman. Instead, I am a real estate consultant who is looking out for your interests.
My Clients:
While I work with all types of clients such as families, investors, baby boomers, upsizers, downsizers, builders, etc., I find that at least half of my clients are first time home buyers looking for a condo in downtown Toronto. My past experience at CIBC has given me the tools necessary to help these buyers through the entire process. I am well versed in all programs geared towards first time home buyers such as RSP withdrawals and land transfer tax incentives. Further, I work at your pace. There is a lot for the first time buyer to learn and the last thing you need is a pushy salesperson trying to "close the deal" so they can move on to their next customer.

On Feb. 12, I was fortunate to enjoy a play, "The Women of Lockerbie," that was presented by the drama department of Willard High School. It was inspiring, to say the least.
The play presents a sophisticated story that deals with many significant ideas such as grief, forgiveness, government incompetence, the view of America from outside America, rituals and healing.
The Willard students were simply superb as they portrayed the complex interaction of the themes. ...

|Heart failure in children -- mechanical assistance.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15704036 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The use of mechanical circulatory support for the treatment of heart failure in the pediatric population has become increasingly important in pediatric heart surgery units; however, the treatment options for the pediatric population have not attained the same level of technological development as we have seen for the adult population. The use of mechanical assistance as a bridge to transplantation or a bridge to recovery are the main indications for mechanical circulatory support in infants and children. The problem of organ donor shortage is even worse compared to the situation in the field of adult heart transplantations. Especially in Europe however, newly developed pulsatile, paracorporeal ventricular assist devices designed for long-term assist in children have demonstrated their ability to provide excellent results beyond the abilities of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and centrifugal pumps, which are still the mainstay of mechanical support in children worldwide. Especially in the group of the smallest patients, the use of the most appropriate form of circulatory assistance has to be carefully considered as the co-incidence of respiratory failure as well as other complex physiological situations will severely influence the outcome.

4 Moms on "Putting it all Together"
Posted By Smockity Frocks On June 3, 2010 @ 7:02 am In 4 Moms,Homeschool | 5 Comments
When I looked at the schedule of topics for our 4 Moms, 35 Kids series and saw that we were to write today about how we make it work homeschooling little kids and big kids at the same time, I realized that I have written before about this very topic. Then, I nodded off because that is what moms of two week old babies often do at inappropriate times.
After my 2 year old woke me up by shoving a book into my left eye socket and pleading, "Mommy weed dis?" I wiped the drool from my chin, recited the book by memory, and racked my brain trying to figure out what I could say about homeschooling little kids and big kids together that I haven't already said.
That's when I came up with the
lazy brilliant idea to let you browse the posts I have formerly written on this topic.

SILVER CITY >> WNMU will soon begin a complete overhaul of the recreational facilities around Old James Stadium, including the repair and redesign of the university swimming pool. At the most recent Board of Regents meeting, a resolution was passed to seek $4 million in outside funding, with a student fee being used to pay back the debt.
"It is amazing to know that soon our students will benefit from an extraordinary project with the addition of this new recreation center," student body President Edna Reyes said in a news release. "It is time to offer our students a great quality experience on campus through more choices. I know it will be a great addition to this campus."
A blueprint shows a running track beneath the bleachers and around the border of Old James Stadium, as well as a basketball court and sand volleyball court. Within the Brancheau PE Complex, more than 10,000 square feet of the existing facility will be renovated to include two 25-meter swimming lanes in addition to a large shallow swimming area for programs such as aqua aerobics. The reduction in size of the existing pool will make way for a state-of-the-art fitness and weight room and an improved changing room and locker facility.
"Since I came to Silver City, reviving the swimming pool has been a priority because I believe it will continue to enhance our students and our community's quality of life," WNMU President Joseph Shepard said in the news release. "Further, the recreation complex will allow us to more effectively recruit and retain students, since studies indicate that if students form relationships among their peers they are more likely to persist and earn degrees. Facilities such as the recreation center provide opportunities for developing these relationships," Shepard added.
Shepard met with several university departments to brainstorm the programs that will operate in the new facility. Students, faculty and staff will receive free memberships to the facilities, with a membership fee for community members.
Originally constructed in 1979, the Brancheau PE Complex was named after former Mustang coach Tim Brancheau. After more than 30 years, an imbalance in chemical stability paired with excessive water loss led to the closure of the pool facility about three years ago.
Renovations will begin once cost estimates are finalized and bonds are issued. The facility is projected to open in spring 2015.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- A Chatham County commissioner has repaid $110 in taxpayer funding she received for using her personal vehicle to drive to campaign events.
Helen Stone says the mileage reimbursements she received were inappropriate, and she adds that she's not perfect.
The payments were revealed following an open records request filed by the Savannah Morning News.
Stone says it's questionable whether the events she attended were ineligible for mileage reimbursements since she was meeting constituents.
She says she decided to refund the county for those expenses to avoid any possible impropriety.

Kevin Askeland: Enterprise's Sanders may set points record for a freshman
Last year, Kelsie Jurin became just the second freshman girl in Northern Section history to score more than 500 points in a season. This year, another freshman is on pace to do the same thing.
Enterprise point guard Kamira Sanders has totaled 349 points in 19 games for an 18.1 average, which leads the 18-1 Hornets. With seven games left in the regular season and three or four potential playoff games, Sanders could threaten the record for most points scored by a Northern Section freshman.
Jurin threatened the mark last year, but finished the season with 547. Jurin played for Liberty Christian last year, but transferred and plays for U-Prep this season. Las Plumas standout Danielle Orsillo set the record in 2002 with 568 points.

Prior to Green Bay's Super Bowl championship in 2011, we pointed out that former Pleasant Valley quarterback Aaron Rodgers ranked as the No. 2,660th best player in NFL history. Winning a Super Bowl and an MVP award have a way of changing the ratings, however.
According to Pro-Football Reference.com's weighted career approximate value system, which ranks a player's career and yearly performance, Rodgers now comes in as the 352nd best player in NFL history. He also ranks No. 47 among active players with an average approximate value (AV) of 90. The current active leader is Peyton Manning with an AV of 235.

The Weed High School boys basketball team is looking more and more like the team to beat in Division V this year as it has had little trouble in league play thus far. The Cougars (16-2) have a win over a tough Redding Christian team and avenged an early season loss with a victory over Modoc at the Braves' own tournament.
Weed, which faced a solid Mount Shasta team Tuesday night, faces the Braves again Tuesday. The two teams were tied at 4-0 heading into Tuesday night's contests.
Coach Mike Carpine is also working his way toward a career milestone. Weed's 77-57 win over Burney on Friday gave Carpine his 480th career win. He began his career in Weed in 1979-80 and won section 2A titles in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1989.
A move to Yreka in 1989-90 brought a Division IV section title in 1991 and 1994. His teams have appeared in the section finals 10 times during his 34 tenure as coach.
* * *
With a strong push the remainder of the season and a deep run in the playoffs, Liberty Christian's Todd Franklin could hit the 400-win milestone this season. Franklin began the year with 375 victories and his Patriots are 12-5 on the season for a total of 387. Liberty has eight games remaining on the season (including a pair of forfeit wins over Hayfork) and could play as many as five more games in the playoffs depending on how well the team performs.
* * *
Sutter's Erika Larsen has crushed the Northern Section record for career rebounds as she now has 1,763 in four seasons. She currently averages 22.2 rebounds and 7.7 blocked shots per game to go with a 17.3 points per game average.
The previous career rebounding total was 1,565 by Deedra Desentz of Downieville (1992-95). Larson's career total ranks fifth in state history, according to Cal-Hi Sports. The state record is 2,359 by Courtney Paris, daughter of former San Francisco 49er Bubba Paris.
Larsen's 585 career blocked shots are also a section record and rank third all-time in state history.

I am attempting to use the
action to use a bean for storing form input from multiple screens.
I get inconsistent results. At least as far as my understanding is based from reading JavaServer Pages by Hans
Bergsten (great book btw)
I set up a practice jsp page that contains an input form. My useBean looks as follows:
Then I call a jsp page that uses the
action to display the values I entered.
Unless my second page has the exact same useBean tag as above, only minus the scope attribute
I get nothing back. If I add the scope attribute to the second page I get no result.
If I remove the setProperty action from the second page I get no result.
I have two questions. Should all useBean actions display the scope attribute even if you're only
reading from the bean?
Shouldn't I be able to read a bean without the setProperty action?

Errol Rennalls and Mousse T., combined, have over 40 years experience in the music industry. They first made their mark on the industry in the late '90′s writing, producing, remixing, releasing and distributing underground House tracks on their label Peppermint Jam Records. The label took the club scene by storm with legendary tracks such as 'Keep Pushin', 'Hold Your Head Up High' and 'Sing it back'.
MERG Music, the duo's own publishing label, signed their first major co-publishing deal shortly before the release of 'Horny' in 1998. 'Horny' dominated the charts across the globe and truly established Errol and Mousse T. as credible songwriters and even earned them a prestigious Ivor Novello award and many interesting opportunities followed.
In 1999 the pair were once again topping international charts with Mousse T.'s collaboration with the legendary Sir Tom Jones. 'Sexbomb' became Tom Jones's biggest selling single of all time, earning Errol and Mousse T. their second Ivor Novello nomination.

I have an acquaintance at the Sacramento Bee newspaper who was able to get me a seat at their table for the AMGEN Black Tie Optional Gala last night, wherein some dignitaries speak and the teams are introduced (and funds are raised). The tickets were $300 a piece, so a freebie plus a hosted bar was all I needed to hear.
Here is the outside of the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. Many of the teams arrived on the red carpet while I was waiting for my three dates.
I also jumped at the chance to wear my tuxedo, which is a very rare occurance. I had hoped for a James Bond-type vibe. The picture looks more like a geek in a bow tie. Take my word for it, I was smokin'!
Inside, there must have been 6-800 people (most went "optional" on the black tie). Around the edges of the auditorium were many very nice items in a silent auction. What I wanted started at $5000, so I was unable to participate (the four portraits of the Beatles from the White Album --- signed).
Not only was the bar hosted, but there were roving wine pourers who never let glasses get empty. This is good for a red wine drinker like me. Please understand, I drink red wine for the medicinal benefit only. It also makes very nice stains on one's tuxedo shirt when one is bumped by someone in a crowd. The meal was outstanding, with filet mignon as the entree.
Between courses, the teams were introduced by Paul Sherwin and Phil Liggett. After some banter on the stage, they filed out through the audience, stopping for autographs and pictures. Here's Floyd, who was very well received.
Tyler Hamilton
George Hincappie with a woman who stopped EVERY name rider for a picture.
Dave Zabriskie and the woman again
Fast Freddie, Tom Bonen and several other name riders were there, but I didn't get pictures. I'm not very good a crawling over people.
Astana, with Lance and Levi were introduced last. Both were very gracious, with Lance suggesting that Levi "is the man", because he has won the race for the last two years. Fearing a mob, I'm sure, they didn't walk though the crowd. I took a picture of them on the big screen, but it ain't the same.
It was a fun evening for me. We all got a bottle of red wine with an AMGEN label on the way out (Did I mention I drink red wine?). Saturday, I have access to the Bee's VIP tent at the prologue. I may go. I will park my truck a couple of miles away and ride my old bike in. There is a "Community Ride" on the course that should be fun. Then the Lifestyle festival, which was good last year. I'll watch a few riders, but probably won't stay to the end.

Plant type
Tender perennial

Skill level
This hardy banana makes an excellent addition to the subtropical border or architectural planting scheme. It forms a strong vigorous growing green foliage plant with large oval leaves that have burgundy markings. It is tolerant of most growing conditions, although it will produce the best display if planted on a moisture-retentive but free-draining soil. It tolerates windy conditions and can be grown in the cool greenhouse or sheltered border. Plants can be raised from seed sown in spring, although they can be slow to germinate.
Family: Musaceae
Genus: Musa
Species: sikkimensis
Plant type: Tender perennial
Foliage colour: Dark green, Bronze
Feature: Dramatic foliage
Sun exposure: Full sun, Partial shade
Soil: Well-drained/light, Sandy
Hardiness: Half hardy
Skill level: Experienced
Height: 400cm
Spread: 300cm
Time to plant seeds: February to March
You can germinate the seeds anytime, I prefer end Dec/Jan as germination can take months and when they do they are a decent size to plant out in late spring. To germinate, soak in warm water for 48+ hours, changing the water every 6 hours as that removes germination inhibitors. Put the seeds in a zip lock bag with some damp sandy soil and place in a propagator/warm cupboard. Take out during day and place on sunny window sill. The temp differences and light will aid germination, which can take months. You should see germinated seeds within 1 month by this method.Red Tiger is a good colorful variety of M. sikkimensis.

John Davis Lodge is credited with the saying: "Two people working together on one thing are better than one person working twice as hard." Pastors Timothy and Stephanie Grant of Deliverance Outreach Temple Church take this saying to a much higher level in their lives and ministry.

Will Obama Defend Freedom in the Americas?
11:34 AM, Apr 5, 2012 • By PATRICK CHRISTY
In April 2009, four months after taking office, President Obama wooed Latin American leaders and liberal elites at the Summit of the Americas by apologizing for decades of U.S. foreign policy and promising a new era of cooperation. Obama said:
But as the president prepares to return to the Summit of the Americas, three years later, it is clear this new era of "engagement" has not included important issues such as democracy or the rule of law. Indeed, Obama made no mention of political abuses in Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Venezuela when he traveled to the region in 2011. Instead, the president went so far as to say that "[t]oday, Latin America is democratic. Virtually all the people of Latin America have gone from living under dictatorships to living in democracies."
Yet in recent years, despite flourishing republics in Brazil and Colombia, Latin America's democratic movement has suffered major setbacks as independent courts have been undermined, elections rigged, free speech trampled, and human rights abused.
Today's socialist movement is led by the populist anti-Americanism of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. In Caracas, Chavez's decade-long power grab has resulted in consolidating executive power and fundamentally dismantling the core of Venezuela's previously democratic political system. Together, with his socialist allies, Chavez rewrote the country's 1961 constitution in 1999, packed the Supreme Court with 17 new justices in 2004, and abolished term limits for elected officials—including the president—in 2009. The government has also taken dramatic steps to silence opposition groups, shut down freedom of expression, and intimidate voters.
Beyond Venezuela's borders, Chavez has spread his version of "21st century socialism" to regional allies across the region, mainly using billions in petrodollars.
In Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega has suppressed free speech and opposition rights. Last year, Ortega was "reelected" to a second consecutive term despite rampant fraud and widespread intimidation by the government. The election itself was marred by complaints from the European Union and Organization of American States that monitors were shut out of polling sites across the country. It is no wonder Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attended Ortega's inauguration ceremony.
In Ecuador, President Rafael Correa is responsible for, as the Washington Post editorialized, "the most comprehensive and ruthless assault on free media underway in the Western Hemisphere." Correa has dramatically expanded the government's ownership of media sources—including magazines, newspapers, radio, and television stations—while systematically targeting independent or critical journalists through defamation lawsuits.
The Inter-American democratic charter, adopted on September 11, 2001, states that "The peoples of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it." Yet for three years, the Obama administration has watched silently from afar as freedom and prosperity have come under attack.

The Work of Jacob TillmanJuxtapoz // Tuesday, 06 Sep 2011
Jacob Tillman's new work dances around representation and abstraction. At times his work has an apparent representational image, while others it delves into abstraction that is beyond recognition, treating the work as its own object that is independent and free to develop in the best way possible. Tillman is UCLA graduate and works in LA (soon relocating to NYC). He will soon be having a solo show at Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art in San Francisco this month.

Ticket #1058 (closed defect: worksforme)
PostreSQL issues with alter commands
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
Applying migrations that involves alter_column on foreign keys or alter_tables fail.
db.alter_column('categories_category', 'parent_id', self.gf('mptt.fields.TreeForeignKey')(null=True, to=orm['categories.Category']))
from django-categories 1.0.3 fails with
FATAL ERROR - The following SQL query failed: ALTER TABLE "categories_category" ADD CONSTRAINT "parent_id_refs_id_26f7e8d2e85f846b" FOREIGN KEY ("parent_id") REFERENCES "categories_category" ("id") DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED; The error was: constraint "parent_id_refs_id_26f7e8d2e85f846b" for relation "categories_category" already exists
It looks like _fill_constraint_cache() method in DatabaseOperations?() fill the cache with both the foreign key and the related key, so that _find_foreign_constraints cannot find the involved constraint.
Renaming table also fails
db.rename_table("text_text", "cmsplugin_text")

FATAL ERROR - The following SQL query failed: ALTER TABLE "text_text_id_seq" RENAME TO "cmsplugin_text_id_seq"; The error was: relation "text_text_id_seq" does not exist
I tried patch at #1057 but this doesn't solve the issue.
Tried with both PostgreSQL 8.4 and 9.1, in different virtualenvs and different machines
Reverting to South 0.7.3 solves the issue
Change History
comment:1 Changed 4 years ago by andrew
- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to worksforme
- Milestone set to 1.0
I've just tried to replicate this with both an alter_column on a ForeignKey? and a rename_table and both work just fine. If things are still failing for you with the current development revision, please reopen and include a full traceback, an example models file, and the generated migration file, if possible.
comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by gas
Similar problem is happening to me with kinda same error message :
FATAL ERROR - The following SQL query failed: ALTER TABLE "items_externallink_pkey" RENAME TO "items_link_pkey"; The error was: relation "items_externallink_pkey" does not exist
The table renaming actually goes through. In my case, I'm renaming "ExternalLink?" model to "Link". This ExternalLink? model is a subclass of a concrete model, which might be one explanation for this Fatal error.

The Importance of Exhibitions and Exhibition Reviews
Fine artists and fine arts photographers often begin their careers through exhibiting their work in galleries. Usually group shows come first, then solo exhibitions. Perhaps a retrospective exhibition will be held after the artist/photographer has worked for many years. By reading exhibition reviews, the evolution of a career can be traced over time. Exhibition reviews are commonly published in arts magazines.
Some exhibitions are accompanied by exhibition catalogs in book form. They may contain analytic essays about the work and place the artist/photographers work in the context of contemporary art. These essays can be very valuable in understanding the work. Most exhibition catalogs and monographs about photographers are located in the TR section of the Otis Library. This section will include both commercial and fine arts photography. But fine arts photography may also be found in the N section of the Library. The OPAC is the best method to locate catalogs. Use the search term "Photography, Artistic -- Exhibitions."
Finding Information in Online Databases
Encyclopedias are an excellent beginning way to find good background information. Oxford Art Online is an excellent academic online encyclopedia. Movements -- like Bauhaus and Postmodernism -- will be defined, sometimes in great detail. But don't expect every photographer to be listed there. Sometimes a print version subject-specific encyclopedia or biographical dictionary, such as Contemporary Photographers, and American Photographs, will include more. These are located in the TR section of the Reference area of the Library.
Art Source is an excellent database which broadly covers art, photography, and design periodicals. It's available through the link to Databases on all Library web pages.
Once you get a list of hits, look at them carefully. You can determine a lot simply by reading the titles. Sometimes you will see an indication about the content of the article, such as that it is an exhibition review. Obituaries are generally not critical, but they are often good summations of an artist's career. Ignore the book reviews and reproductions. Those won't help. Notice that the page numbers are listed. Longer articles will probably be more in-depth. Also, notice if there is an author listed. Reviews by known writers are preferable.
Many databases include "full-text" articles. Although originally published in print, it means that the actual article is reproduced there in plain text or a PDF version. Lucky you. You can read the articles on screen, email them to yourself, or print them.
One problematic aspect about databased articles is that you don't see them in the context of the full magazine. Unless you look at the actual original print version, you may have difficulty evaluating the publication. As design students, it's a good idea to become familiar with as many of these periodicals as you can, so do have a look at some of these magazines on the shelves.
Locating Older Journal Articles
You should know by now that you won't always find everything online in full-text. When you need to locate the print version of a periodical, you can use the Otis collection of back issues, which includes hundreds of bound volumes. Some are in the Stacks and some in the Annex, which requires paging. Some databases have a link by to the Otis holdings or OPAC. Or you can look in Library's Magazine Holdings List.
Finding Books and Exhibition Catalogs
Use the Library Catalog (OPAC) to find exhibition catalogs and books about an artist or photographer. Sometimes the Table of Contents will be included in the OPAC and there may be a chapter about your designer or movement. Search broadly at first by using the "keyword" search box.
An catalog, by definition, includes lists and images of works from a particular museum or gallery exhibition of the artist's work. They often include essays written by the curator or critics. It's probably an exhibition catalog if it is published by a gallery/museum and if the word "exhibitions" appears in the subject field. Sometimes the date of the exhibition appears in the title field. Photographers may or may not participate in exhibitions.
Assistance Is Readily Available
The librarians and the library staff are your friends. Ask for reference or computer troubleshooting any time. The SRC also has tutors available to assist you with the writing of papers. Start early so that you will have time to avail yourself of these services. We all want to support your learning experience.

Everyone was a bit confused when Jerry Sloan abruptly turned his resignation Thursday. After 23 years at the helm of the Utah Jazz, something just seemed... off.
Fans and media weren't the only ones to feel that way. One of Sloan's most legendary players felt it too. Karl Malone was in Utah and spoke with reporters about Sloan's resignation, via the Salt Lake Tribune.
Malone's money quote: "I will say this: I know my coach. I know my coach. And I know my assistant coach. And I know all these coaches. The coach I know and the man I know have never quit or resigned in anything. That's what I want to say."
When pressed on it, Malone said, "What I said is what I said. I know Jerry Sloan. And the people that know him the closest know that man would never resign or quit if you want to, on nothing. I don't care what it is."
What that necessarily means is up to interpretation. But it's not hard to read between the lines there. Malone is pushing forward the idea that Sloan didn't necessarily make this decision entirely on his own. The Jazz organization wants you to believe nothing was up and that Sloan just got tired. But Malone isn't buying that.
Malone also indicated that he wants to "carry on" Sloan's legacy in terms of coaching. So The Mailman wants to coach at some point. Whether that means professionally or at a different level, that's pretty interesting.

Karl Malone tees off a bit about Jerry Sloan
With the inmates running the aslyum what more can you expect from a coach that is ole skool. There is management, then the head coach other coaches and support staff, followed by the players.
When things are no longer in the order to be successful them there will be failure.
I don't think there is any one thing that would cause Sloan to resign, however there were things that mounted up over a period of time that eventually he had seen and had enough, therefore the only avenue for him was to leave the organization.
Players are defying coaches with management backing them as oppose to backing the coaches. There is another player waiting in the wings to take a spot on any sport team and sport played.
When Michael Jordan retired there were those that said there would never be another, however, each day Kobe and Prince James are compared to him. Just last year and showing loads of promise is Griffen of the Clippers, you might also look at Rose of the Bulls, therefore the talent will always be there and in some instances better than what the team have currently.
Yet those in management appear to be blind to this fact.
How many times do you get a Jerry Sloan, Phil Jackson, Riley coaches of this era and if you look back at the great coaches of other eras, there are about 2-3. Sloan fit into this as one of the greatest of all coaches.
How many great players or players that are winners, you would have about 5-10 that are elite,15-20 that are way above average, then you would have those journey men that round out the team roster.
It is a sad day in sports when a coach of Jerry Sloan statue can be ran out of the coaching ranks by someone that can not even carry his strap he wear as prevention.

Karl Malone tees off a bit about Jerry Sloan
It does not take a genus to figure out that Sloan was forced out. Sloan and alot of other good coaches just don't quit in mid season simply because they are "tired". This sends the wrong message to the players. But as we have seen numerous times. Owners of sports teams panic when people try to lure their "young" coaching talent away from them. That's why the Jazz kicked Sloan to the curb (I never thought I'd use this phrase, but considering the situation it could not be more appropriate) and promoted his 50-something long time assistant. Just like numerous examples before them this one will come back to haunt the Jazz.

IN MEMORY OF. OODNADATTA. THE WANDERER'S NECKLACE. By H. KIDEE HAGGARD. From Oodnadatta in the veer of grace 3S13 by Byzantium in the ninth century is a far cry) but through his dedication to his friend and colleague Sir Edgar Vincent, the author links up the ancient capital of the East with the euphoniously named township in the heart of Austra lia, wiich was visited by the Overseas Commission last year. The story of the Wanderer's Necklace purports, to be the narrative of a former life, which has re turned to the author in a series of scenes or pictures, and the. first ecenes are laid in Jutland. Olaf, the eon of Thorvald and the Lady Thora, is betrothed to Iduna the Fair, who is a beautiful tjut false-hearted dtaneeL Iduna challenges Olaf to bring her a necklace of inlaid shells and emer ald beetles which was supposed to be round the .neck, of a dead chief who had lived hundreds of years befqre. Olaf. with his faithful nurse Freydisa, descended into the monad where the ancient warrior was buried, and brought away the necklace, and also a sword of great strength and exquisite workmanship. Iduna is enrap tured with tht\ jewels; but she is 'false to' Olaf, and by her arts she induces Steinar, the adopted son of Thorvald, who has recently come into 'great possessions, to betray his foster brother. The guilty lovers flee on the eve of the wedding day. but the fierce Jpclanders pursue them, and Bteinar is sacrificed to the gods of the Northmen as a trothbreaker. Olaf inter cedes for him in vain, and in anger hews in pieces a statue of Odin. The scene of the larger part of the boot is laid in Byzantium, where ? we find Olaf captain of the guard of 4b4 Empress Irene, who with her young eon Gonstantine the Sixth is Joint ruler of the - Eastern Empire. Irene is in love with Olaf. who, however, has no love for her.' He has heard a legend about the warrior's necklace, and he believes that he will find a woman who will wear the. counterpart of the strand ha has in his possession. After ?tnany days he finds his ideal in the per ron of the Egyptian girl Heliodore, but ma troubles are by no means over. He has the wrath of the Empress to fear, as well as the jealousy of the Roman officers, and in ' a time when swift assassination iras rife his life is' in constant danger till he returns to the 'home of his fathers to end his days. The' book has the real Haggard touch, and thtaph. like other of the author's books, it lacks the rush and the magic of 'King Solomon's Mines' and some of the earner stories, it is not' only pTpi*inp- but moving as well. Our copy tame from E. S. Wigg & Son.
