At this point mention must be made of a manuscript feature that is used in this study to support the notion of underlying meaning. At some stage in the thirteenth century a reader recorded interpretations of the column text in the margins of a manuscript. The earliest glossed Latin manuscripts have been dated close to the time of Bartholomew's death in about 1270. These interpretations were accepted and copied (with some anomalies) along with the rest of the work, forming an integral part of it for readers and copiers of thirteenth-century manuscripts.[28] The marginal commentary constitutes an essential aspect of the early reception of the work, dating as it might from the lifetime of the author, but even if the glosses are contemporary with Bartholomew we cannot, of course, infer authorial intentions from them. All the glosses can do is tell us something about the work's reception by a generation of readers close to him in time.
Meyer considers that although we cannot dismiss the possibility that the glosses originated with Bartholomew, they may reflect interpretations most useful to preachers. According to Lidaka, Bartholomew 'is cited in sermons and sermon aids more often than in any other kind of work'.[29] While we do not have an accompanying gloss for the whole work (and none, for example, in Book 15), there are sufficient to support the theory that for readers of the later thirteenth century the 'hidden meanings' related to the tasks of preaching and to the correct interpretations of biblical texts. Overall, the glosses strongly suggest that 'Properties' could be and was read by some as a vocational guide for prelates and preachers, whether within or outside the Franciscan Order, who could find in the work subject matter for sermons to strengthen orthodoxy at a time when the church was combatting heresy.
The glosses are quite dense in the Books where they have survived but elswhere we have none. The vernacular translators discarded them, effectively freeing non-clerical readers from prescribed responses to the main text. Manifestations of the text or parts of it made in later centuries demonstrate very different readings. Given the nature of the glosses as a disseminated body they must, however, be taken into account as significant for at least those readers who treated them as a necessary accompaniment to the text, whether these were early readers close to Bartholomew in time or much later readers with access to Latin manuscripts preserved in libraries. This is not to suggest that the glosses show us a 'correct' reading of 'Properties', or even the one that Bartholomew expected or intended: they do show us one possible reading, meaningful in a certain time and place. It must also be acknowledged that such a work might contain a great many allusions and nuances of meaning that are no longer available to the historian. While the glosses give us clues to the sub-textual lessons that could be construed or reinforced at the time they were written, they do not make those lessons fully explicit to us today.
The focus in subsequent chapters is upon the lively presence of 'Properties' in the world of English letters during the later-Plantagenet and Tudor reigns. Chapter 5 examines changes wrought upon 'Properties' under the patronage of noble secular bibliophiles and scholars in late-medieval England. The English translation of 1398 provides a focal point for the work's reception in a particular cultural context — one in which 'Properties' retains authority while undergoing changes to its language, content and presentation. Chapter 6 uses manuscript examples to show that 'Properties' not only survives but increases its readership over the late Middle Ages, while re-writers invoke the compiler as 'master' of received knowledge about the properties of the created world. It also discusses the first English printed version of 'Properties'. Chapter 7 examines Bartholomew's status as a supposedly English writer, and the late-Elizabethan printed version made by Stephen Batman at a time when much new knowledge was becoming available from various sources. A sample of Batman's responses helps us to measure the distance — long in some respects but surprisingly short in others — between his image of the world and his conception of 'property', and those of Bartholomew.

The advisory committee recommended approval by a vote of 11-3, because of the great need for the drug, and its demonstrated efficacy (greater percentage of patients achieving a treatment response, defined for this study as at least a one log [10 fold] viral load reduction) compared with a non-tipranavir regimen, for multiple-PI resistant volunteers. But the entire committee was cautious about tipranavir, mainly because of safety "signals" -- indications that there might be problems when the drug is widely used for longer times and with less physician expertise and monitoring than in the clinical trials or expanded-access program. Also, drug interactions with tipranavir can be unusually complex, making correct dosing of both tipranavir, and certain other drugs used at the same time, more difficult.
Physicians and interested patients will benefit from following the recommendations and practices of leading HIV physicians regarding tipranavir. Current information will be free and accessible to anyone at Web sites such as
The recommendation for approval was based on 24 weeks of data in two clinical trials, called RESIST-1 and RESIST-2. These trials together tested tipranavir in well over 1,000 patients who had taken a median of 12 antiretroviral drugs and were heavily resistant (97% tested resistant to at least one protease inhibitor). These volunteers had a background regimen of approved drugs (NRTIs, NNRTIs, and/or Fuzeon [enfuvirtide, also known as T-20]) designed for them based on genotypic resistance tests, and then were randomized to receive with it boosted tipranavir or with a comparator boosted protease inhibitor. Note that based on genotypic resistance testing, 87% of the volunteers were possibly or definitely resistant to the comparison protease inhibitor. The main goal of these trials was to see if tipranavir combined with the usually inadequate background regimen helped more patients achieve at least a one-log drop in viral load. More than twice the percentage of patients achieved this drop in the tipranavir arm than in the comparison protease inhibitor arm, so tipranavir was deemed to have proven efficacy.
When considering tipranavir, here are some aspects to keep in mind (at least for the near future). Always check for recent information, because it will change due to new results from clinical trials, and new physician experience.
Fuzeon is very expensive, and inconvenient to use because it is injected twice a day. When "small molecule" fusion inhibitors are available -- or drugs in new classes, with different mechanisms of action -- patients largely resistant to currently available antiretrovirals will have alternative choices.
More studies will be necessary to determine the safety of tipranavir in patients with hepatitis B or C co-infection.
Could tipranavir be like nevirapine (another antiretroviral, coincidentally made by the same company) in that it causes a potentially serious rash that is more common in women than in men -- and more common in people with a high CD4 count than in those with more advanced HIV disease (probably because this particular kind of rash depends on immune functions that are partly suppressed by HIV)? No one knows, because not enough women or people with high CD4 counts have taken tipranavir in clinical trials (where the data is collected and recorded most thoroughly than in medical practice). Boehringer Ingelheim has fully enrolled a trial of tipranavir for treatment-naive volunteers, but since only about 20% of them are women, and this trial enrolled people with advanced HIV disease, it is unlikely to give definitive answers about who is most likely to get the rash.
Note: AIDS Treatment News did not attend the Advisory Committee hearing because of a schedule conflict. The above summary is mostly from a 43-page briefing paper prepared by FDA staff for the Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee (dated April 22, 2005 and available here and from activist reports from the meeting.
What is known about tipranavir will change rapidly, over the next few months especially. Be sure to check publication dates, and use current information.

Rose Bowl Day 5 - You could put together a pretty good offense by starting with some of the Cougars from the past who watched Friday's workout at the LA Coliseum.
From the 1997 Rose Bowl team were receivers Kevin McKenzie and Nian Taylor. Go back a few years to one of the best backs in recent history - Steve Broussard. (Dr.) Eboni Wilson has been at practice the past two days, along with 1980's receiver Jeff Keller. Another 80's receiver Jeff Poppe was also present today. Now, where was the quarterback and the big guys up front? What is Broussard doing, you may ask. Well, he is the head coach at Diamond Ranch High and this year, in just their sixth season, won the league and finished 7-3. All of the former players who attended practice looked fit, ready to take the field again.
Practice was routine, except for running back Tony Ryan, who was poked in both eyes and is currently sporting a patch over his right eye - he hopes to have it off in a day. Ryan, by the way, is from Oklahoma and prepped in Oklahoma City before attending Santa Monica JC, one year behind teammate John Tippins.
After practice the players grabbed box lunches and headed for Disney's California Adventure, where the coaches and several players participated in a press conference, along with players and coaches from Oklahoma. (see photo gallery).
Later the players headed out in the park for a couple of hours, then gathered at ESPN Sports Zone for dinner and a shot at the many games on the second floor. No speeches, just food and fun. Then the players headed back out to Disney attractions, Disneyland or California Adventure.
Even new Cougar head coach Bill Doba took part in the action, going for a (simulated) glider flight over California. Bill said he handled the heights and quick drops just fine. No word on whether Mike Price hit any of the major attractions.
The first major press conference takes place Saturday at 9:00 a.m. for Doba and defensive stars Marcus Trufant and Jason David from the secondary, linebacker Mawuli Davis, and linemen Fred Shavies and Rien Long. Monday the offense, with Mike Levenseller and five players, take center stage.
Sunday a number of Cougar coaches and players will tour the City of Hope cancer center.

We also maintain the strong tradition of significant collaboration with environmental and public health agencies and institutions.
The support of alumni and friends is very important to helping us continue to attract the best and the brightest to our program.
|Environmental Health Sciences Department
|Our goal is to ensure that the Environmental Health Sciences Department continues to attract the nation's top faculty members, post-doctoral fellows and students. Your gift to our general department fund can help us continue our leadership position in the field of environmental health science.
|Environmental Health Sciences Alumni Fellowship Fund
We recently established the Environmental Health Sciences Alumni Fellowship program. This fellowship program will support highly qualified students who are committed to making a difference in our field.
Please be sure to specify Arnold School of Public Health,
-- Thank you!
On December 3, 2011, the field of Applied Aquatic Science lost one of its pre-eminent leaders, Dr. Henry N. McKellar, Jr. For those of us who had the privilege of knowing Hank, as his student or associate, it's a loss of a wonderful mentor and role model. But his work is not done. Aquatic pollution remains a threat to marine life and public health and therefore it is important that Hank's work and passionate commitment to Applied Aquatic research be passed on to the next generation of researchers and industry professionals.
That's why a group of his students and friends have established the Henry N. McKellar, Jr. Endowed Fellowship, at the University of South Carolina. We invite you to join us in this effort to honor Hank. An endowed fellowship requires a fund of at least $25,000 and the first award cannot be made until one year after we have received gifts that achieve this minimum funding level. Pledges or payments of gifts beyond that level will enable us to increase the size of the annual award and provide even more significant support for a graduate student seeking to follow in Hank's footsteps.
With your help, our goal is to award the first fellowship in the spring of 2014. Your support is tax deductible and can be paid by check or credit card. All you need to do is complete and return the enclosed pledge form.
In addition to your financial support of this effort, we invite you to share a story or memory you have of Hank. We will compile these stories so they can be shared with the annual recipients of the Henry N. McKellar, Jr. Endowed Fellowship.
Thank you for your help in honoring this wonderful man and ensuring that his legacy continues.

return retData
Hi Aziz thx,
I found the patch and compile the project under eclipse.
I have a problem when the program try to read Configurations2/accelerator/current.xml
He give me the following error:
javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureException: javax.xml.crypto.URIReferenceException: java.lang.NullPointerException: octetStream is null
The code is
// return part content as octet stream data
InputStream is = odfDoc.getPackage().getInputStream(partPath);
OctetStreamData retData = new OctetStreamData(is);
Is it normal?
Maybe you are using released binaries and not building from source code?
The package and the class you are looking for did not make it to the release, so you should download source code and apply patch (then build to get the jar), to be able to see those classes. If you are already doing it this way, then there must be something wrong with the patch. can you please confirm ?
Aziz GÖKTEPE
Hi Aziz
Thx for your answer,
the problem is that I can not found org.odftoolkit.odfdom.pkg.signature
and also DigitalSignatureManager can not be found
can you help me to find it
(In reply to comment #7)
Hi, long time passed since I sent patch, and lot changed in odfdom since then. Unfortunately I "never found time" to implement suggestions by Svante (guess I hoped someone would pick from there eventually).
But patch should be usable for signing and verification purposes, as it is used in our project. I would be glad to help if you have any questions.

Hi all I'm new in this project I need to digital sign a document so I try to download the patch but I found nothing about it any help pls
Hi Svante,
Thanks for suggestions and changes to the patch , I will look at it asap.
Maybe I should have stated it from the beginning, but when writing the code I was modeling design from .NET's System.IO.Packaging API (you easily can see resemblance; PackageDigitalSignatureManager is our DocumentSignatureManager, PackageDigitalSignature is our DocumentSignature, well there's no counterpart for DocumentSignatureGroup in .NET because odf draft v1.2 introduces that but ooxml (opc) does not have it).
Having said that ;
I agree to 1) that is, moving of classes beyond org.odftoolkit.odfdom.pkg.signature (which I guess you already have done in changed patch)
about 2) create a DOMrepresentation of the signature XML elements/attributes, I am not sure how it will work, since XMLSignature is pretty much self contained (you can access signedInfo, references and objects). And to be honest I've no idea of how to generate DESIG DOM (not deep dived into odfdom), so I need to read that (in manuals maybe?) if we choose to go that way.
Also I chose to expose properties to be used most (such as signer certificate, signing time, file entries signed ) of XMLSignature through properties of DocumentSignature class, yet giving access to XMLSignature structure itself for more low level parsing maybe. I am really not sure about this, so I will let you decide which way you think is best for the project
I agree to 3) that Constants.java hold some values, that already exist in ODFDOM (not all though), some refactoring is needed there indeed.
as to 4) as I said I chose .NET's way of doing it, so all signing methods are in DocumentSignatureManager class ; signDocument signs all file entries in package (except for other signatures, and manifest), there's also sign method accepting List of FileEntryIdentifier , and signs only those file entries in a package (that is it can sign subset of package file entries if wished so). We can move those methods to OdfPackage (goes inline with 1 ), so they can be called (also verify, getSignatureGroups and all other methods of DocumentSignatureManager) on package object. I did not understand what you mean by "The signature: Have to existent on some trusted site." constraint though, maybe you can clarify as it seems that's something I missed doing.
on 5) you are absolutely correct, that's my bad of not commenting everything , will do that.
All the patch is doing now is adding digital signature to either specific file entries or the whole document as specified by odf v1.2 draft. Also parsing and verification of signatures in package is in place (core validation is there, but no certificate chain validation since that's totally out of odfdom's scope I think. but one can get signing certificate and validate it using well known libraries if wished easily). It has compatibility mode for OpenOffice3.1 (which might be better named odfv1.1 maybe), where the only restriction is to place all signatures in META-INF/documentsignatures.xml.
For future ,implementing xades will be valuable addition I think.
as per your previous post about odfv1.2 draft's signature proposal, I have some thoughts to share but unfortunately had not time yet to formulate them (specifically regarding signature file placements and dicsovery, and signature time property), and I suspect this is not a right place to post them. I will try to write those soon.

Suggestion of Java Package name change
This patch just slightly changes the previous given patch
Never mind about the first patch, I did worse, when I started with Mercurial
I have started to look over your patch. As well I have read the ODF 1.2 package specification/schema and took a look into the W3C XML Digital Signature specification (ie. http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core ).
So much I understand: you have really not started with something trivial to contribute, Aziz.
As I am not an expert on signing, perhaps you might summarize in short what kind of subfeatures, the feature package signature does have from your point of view.
Certain is that I need more time to work myself further into your work, but even from a bird perspective I am already able to give suggestions of slight modifications, how your patch be adapted to the existing ODFDOM architecture:
to make, to adapt your work into the existing design:
1) As signatures are a package feature, all the classes might be moved into a directory, beyond org.odftoolkit.odfdom.pkg.signature
(I had done some refactorings using Netbeans refactoring feature and will add them as suggestion/patch soon.)
2) As signature depend on an XML schema, perhaps it makes sense to create a DOM representation of the signature XML elements/attributes as well?
I have not seen through the complete structure yet to be certain about it.
It might be possible by generating the DESIG DOM via the new generator (that might delay this patch a little more, but its definitely a feature for the next 0.8 release.
The generated classes might reside beyond:
The class Constants.java hold some values, that already exist in ODFDOM and might be hidden/refactored away. For now I used the package modifier to remove them from the JavaDoc API. (Similar works for FileEntryIdentifier.java, which is as well something not dependent on signature, but is a common package thing, that most likely exist (latest when we generate a DOM for the manifest.xml).
I was wondering that there was no new methods on the OdfPackage class to sign files from the package.
Regarding the methods we might add OdfPackage, we might orientate ourselves on the subfeatures that are offered on having a signature.
You are much more an expert on signature than I am, I simply read quickly some examples to identify a start for the (sub)features of the signature feature.
SIGN Package or subset with one or more SIGNATURE
The file have to be existent!!
The signature: Have to existent on some trusted site.
5) Finally, I have realized that some of the public/protected methods have not complete JavaDoc (e.g. return value was not explained). Well, you might call me picky on this, but on the other hand, if we do not add it from the beginning, who will ever add it and it should look 100% professional, don't you think
Good work! It's much easier to review, and slightly refactor than to write such code on oneself.
Thanks again for your contribution, looking forward to look further into your patch (although this week the generator has precedence)..

patch to digitally sign and verify odf documents [corrected patch]
Yes the patch was not good, sorry for that [and its my first mercurial experience].
Here's the corrected patch
Aziz GÖKTEPE
I had problems to merge your patch, as the parent revision (starting with '3f36b8711fe12') can not be found.
Let's take a look at the problem in detail and look at the head of your patch:
- HG changeset patch
- User rayback_2
- Date 1258669648 -7200
- Node ID 1bb75adcd6e81dcb1f72549ff4570fd29383a02d
- Parent 3f36b8711fe12da058eb134b2c12d254f806a3a0
If you clone the latest version via
'hg clone https://odftoolkit.org/hg/odfdom~developer 115-signature'
(where 115-signature would be the output dirctory)
'cd 115-signature' (go to the fresh sources)
'hg log > ../log-0-7-5.txt' (write the log messages into a file)
You won't find the revision '3f36b8711fe12', that was mentioned to be the parent of your patch.
You might as well create a log from your repository you created the patch from.
You need to create a patch from all commits that are not part of the master, see
We should indeed update the wiki about the basic developer scenarios (ie. creating/reviewing a patch with Mercurial). Perhaps someone volunteers, otherwise I will do it next week.
Have a nice week-end!
Created an attachment (id=142)
Patch to add and verify digital signatures for odf documents
Patch to create digital signatures and verify signatures of odf documents.
DigitalSignatureManager is an object that manages creation and verification of signatures.
DocumentSignatureGroup is an object holding related document signatures, it corresponds to digital signature file entry. There's a relationship between signatures in same group as of odfv1.2 draft.
DocumentSignature holds document signature (XMLSignature), that signs document.
DigitalSignatureManager can operate in two compatibility modes in terms of signature creation.
1) OpenOffice31CompatibilityMode
in this mode there can be only one digital signature group, which corresponds to "META-INF/documentsignatures.xml" file as is required by OpenOffice3.1 to display signatures properly.
2) OdfV12DraftCompatibilityMode
this is the mode that follows advices of Odfv1.2 draft, that is signatures can be grouped by some defined relationships in same group, and there can be multiple signature groups (signature files). Signature files (groups) are placed in META-INF/ directory and have "signatures" in their file names.
for signature verification and parsing, signature creation mode is irrelevant.
Tried to comment heavily as possible

I use old net curtains to protect brassicas from cabbage whites, and secure them to the supports with clothes pegs.
Fig R, that's brilliant. Was going to throw away 2 v. large plastic pots as they are starting to crack, then thought hey I could store spare bamboos in one and treated timber in the other. As they have holes in the base, the stuff won't get too waterlogged
Ha! When I converted my Rayburn to oil from solid fuel, I had 2 reduntant coal scuttle thingys, which now house my canes etc. They're in my shed though, so waterlogging not an issue.
When I converted from night storage heathers to gas boiler, I had to remove the storage heaters. They were too heavy to lift so I opened them up to discover that they are lined with these brick like tiles, rather like an engineering brick, only flat and square. The upshot is that they now form a rather atractive border edging and mowing strip in the garden.
...such ingenuity going on here....
tootsietim . got a load of them myself from a skip . and three barrow loads of cymru slate
Adopt and adapt, I love all these ideas
I use the green plastic poles and connectors from old plastic greenhouse with a cane through sides to make a cloche then throw the pest netting over. When the greens grow up I put the smaller green poles in the top of the plastic parts and move the canes up so gives me nearly a foot more headroom for my greens!
I used a washing machine drum to make a garden pot. I covered it with a concrete mix and it outshines most every other container I have. It has a hosta in it. Looks expensive but costa v little!!..........
Old enamel kitchen sinks have had the same treatment and I have cadged old chimney pots to make attractive containers
Red Dahlia, could we see a photo?
I have a courgette planted in an old galvanised bucket which has rusted away at the base for good drainage, and an old enamel jam pan for pelagoniums, but the base only has a tiny hole for drainage, so the other morning I found the poor plants doing the butterfly stroke
Verdun, could we see pic of posh pot?
Arthak, I'm iPhone but will post a link if someone could paste it in?!?
Red Dahlia, it will need a bigger brain than mine to advise you
Artjak, I will take pic when the fuschia in it is in full flower. I can charge you more then for it.............lol
Just remembered, years ago I cut an old copper immersion tank in half, one half houses a corkscrew hazel, the other a big hebe. I use the spiral element as a support for a courgette.
post away red
In the past when special offers on at local "beer shop", we've bought 24 cans in cardboard bottom, tough plastic covered packs, taken cans out carefully & what remained was a mini cloche for greenhouse, friends have donated, fine if you don't mind neighbours seeing lots of empty Stella packs in GH.
hopefully you casweep what I mean. If I need to go higher I put 4 more shorter green pipes in the top of the plastic thenb move the canes up. now just to find a method of holding the nedown rather than old bits of wood
An old wheelbarrow and a watering can, both of which have holes in them, make great containers for flowering plants. I have pansies in them
Wewll, they make me laugh
there ya go

The game itself, a 49-26 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, proved to be only the start of great difficulty for the 1994 Chargers. Things went bad almost right away — a facemask penalty on San Diego on the game's opening kickoff — and just kept getting worse for the next 18 years.
On just the third play of the game, Steve Young hit gazelle-like Jerry Rice for the first of the quarterback's six touchdown passes, a Super Bowl record. Two went to running back Ricky Watters. After halftime, just about the only thing San Diego fans had to cheer about was a 98-yard kickoff return for a score by Andre Coleman, but that only closed the score to 42-18.
The story of that particular San Diego team has since taken eerie, bizarre and tragic twists. The lopsided score and ensuing death of no fewer than eight members of that Chargers squad — by causes as varied as a commercial plane crash, fatal lightning strikes and Junior Seau's suicide last year — have made it too easy to forget what a bunch of overachievers it was that provided San Diego its only AFC Championship.
The point, however, is not lost today.
"I believe we were underdogs in every game we went into, and that's an exciting position to be in," said placekicker John Carney. "You go in with nothing to lose and everything to gain. You can take more chances — like Eric Weddle calling that fake punt last Sunday — and don't have that anxiety of having the weight of the world on your shoulders.
"The Chargers are in a great position now. They can go in there (Cincinnati) and wing it and wing it. That creates a difficult situation for their opponents."
Coming off a disappointing 8-8 season and starting the '94 season with a huge amount of turnover — sound familiar?
Dominated through most of their first playoff game by Dan Marino and the visiting Dolphins, the Chargers trailed 21-6 and needed an extra point by Carney with 35 seconds left for a 22-21 win. That sent them to Pittsburgh, where the Chargers overcame a 13-3 deficit to upset the heavily favored Steelers.
The irony was that the '94 Chargers were built for hard times and won on toughness. Their no-nonsense head coach was known as "Boss Ross." Running back Natrone Means was a beast, working behind a massive offensive line, and QB Stan Humphries didn't let a separated shoulder keep him out of a playoff game. With both a swift and sizable defensive line and Seau at linebacker, the Chargers could be as physical as anybody.

He had problems from time to time with his seatpost loosening so we did a comparison with the post from my Motobecane Grand Jubile. My 26.2 post is just slightly to big to fit & the 26.0 post he has been using is a bit loose. Anyone ever heard of a 26.1 seatpost on a French bicycle? My thought is possibly overtightening the clamp to hold an undersized post means he needs to get the post hole resized or reamed to 26.2 at our local shop. Don

Football Team in Belper, DE56 1BA
Lying in a picturesque setting, Belper's Christchurch Meadow ground is well appointed with excellent facilities and a first class playing surface.
The club has made many improvements in recent seasons. In 2003, the club opened a new 500-seater stand to bring the stadium up to UniBond Premier Division standard and beyond. This supplemented the provision of an earlier covered stand that accommodates 300 spectators, improved spectator terracing and perimeter barriers. The current ground capacity is 2,640.
Belper Town's unusual nickname, 'The Nailers', came about because the craft of nail making began In Belper in the middle ages when it was the site of a hunting lodge for John of Gaunt. The huntsmen needed nails for the shoes of their horses and the trade in nails eventually grew.
Nail making was a domestic industry with the Nailers working in family groups but, in 1861, the introduction of machinery to manufacture nails was the begin¬ning of the end for the local trade which died out altogether at the beginning of the century to be replaced by modern industry and commerce In the town.
Like the nail making industry, Belper Town FC has faded away in the past. Origi¬nally formed in 1883, the Nailers went out of existence three times through lack of finance.
The main highlight in those early years was an FA Cup 1st Round tie against Sheffield Wednesday on 15th October 1887 in which the Nailers were narrowly defeated 2-3 by the Yorkshire giants.
The Club reformed for the fourth time in 1951 and it was in that year that they enjoyed their record attendance when 3,600 fans turned up to see Belper play Ilkeston Town. Regular four figure attendances were commonplace at Christchurch Meadow in those days.
Season 1958/59 was a turning point as the Nailers outshone wealthy Heanor Town and Ilkeston Town, their strongly backed neighbours, with 2,000 gates to win the Central Alliance League championship and the Derbyshire Senior Cup. Three years later, they were invited to join the revamped Midland Counties League although major ground Improvements were required before the Club was allowed to bring Midland League football to the Town for the first time.
Three times the Club finished bottom of the League, the last time in 1978/79, when only the charitable overtures of member clubs at the League AGM saved Belper from comparative obscurity once again.
Under the astute managership of lvan Hollett and John Harrison, the Nailers responded to the challenge in magnificent style by winning the Midland League championship in the very next season and, just for good measure, the Derby¬shire Senior Cup as well.
The Nailers won the Northern Counties East League Championship in 1984/85 the guidance of the late Harry Bethell. The championship success that season coincided with the arrival of former Derby County and England striker, Kevin Hector. Lack of finance at that time held the Club back from taking up a place in the newly formed First Division of the Northern Premier League.
In more recent seasons the club has enjoyed tremendous success in the FA Vase, reaching the 5" Round twice and also a semi-final appearance in which they lost 2-3 on aggregate to Oxford City, having won the first leg 1-0 at home, in front of nearly 2,000 spectators.
Having achieved the runners-up position in the Northern Counties League in 1996/97, the Club took its place in the UniBond League 12 years after the first opportunity had been spurned.
Initially the club did well in the UniBond League but has struggled in recent seasons. Ernie Moss and his assistant, Sean O'Neil, kept the club safely away from the relegation positions during their time in charge at Christchurch Meadow but the club did not really challenge for honours during their time at the helm.
Ernie and Sean resigned their positions midway through the 2006/07 season, to be replaced by goalkeeper, Andy Carney and club captain, Danny Hudson, initially on a caretaker basis. The joint managers did more than enough though to secure the managerial reins on a permanent basis and are now looking to push the club forward towards the UniBond Premier Division.
The new managerial team achieved their first piece of silverware in 2008 by winning the Derbyshire Senior Cup with a 4-3 aggregate victory over neighbours, Alfreton Town
Last season, the Nailers finished the league campaign in second place, having secured 81 points and equalling their record points score of 1984/85 when the club won the Northern Counties East League championship.
A heartbreaking defeat in the play-off final against Stocksbridge Park Steels was a titter pill to swallow but the Nailers have retained the majority of their playing squad for another determined assault on the Division One South title this season.

Conn. boy, 6, killed helping dad with wood chipper
Tuesday, April 10, 2012
SALEM, Conn. (AP) — A 6-year-old boy helping his father on a landscaping job during school vacation was killed Tuesday after getting pulled into a wood chipper, state police said.
Jeffrey Bourgeois was putting a branch in the chipper at about 8:45 a.m. when it yanked him into the machine after his father momentarily turned his back, said Lt. J. Paul Vance, a state police spokesman. The accident happened at a home in Salem, a town of about 4,000 people nearly 30 miles southeast of Hartford.
Vance said the accident was so terrible that grief counselors were called to the scene.
"The little guy was apparently trying to help his dad," Vance said. "It's a very tragic and difficult scene for everybody."
Jeffrey and his two older siblings were with their father, Scott Bourgeois, who owns C&S Tree Removal. The family lives in Salem, less than a half-mile from where the accident happened.
Jeffrey was a first-grader at Salem Elementary School, where he was honored in the school newsletter with a "Caught Being Good" award in December.

Billy Yerman: Don't try to time the housing market
Predicting when the bottom of the real estate bust will arrive has been the parlor game of the last half-decade. Some would-be buyers are holding off with the idea of catching lower prices later, while some would-be sellers are waiting in hopes of better times down the road.
Now comes today's guest poster, real estate attorney and broker Billy Yerman, with an argument about when to buy and sell that will be sure to fire up debate.
He's chief executive of the Baltimore-based Strata Group, parent company of real estate businesses such as the Yerman Witman Gaines & Conklin real estate brokerage. He's been in real estate for 22 years.
Take it away, Billy:
It's more or less accepted wisdom that it's not a good idea to "time" the stock market. Most professional investment advisers warn against a strategy of betting on spikes in stock prices in the short term (versus a long-term "buy and hold" strategy), for the simple reason that the markets are too complex to predict accurately in the near term. Of course, that doesn't stop a lot of people from trying to do just that, with varying results.

Go with the Glow
Shedding light on one of nature's strangest and most beautiful phenomena.
By Kim Connors
Bioluminescence—the ability of living organisms to produce light through chemical reactions—is among nature's most fascinating displays. All sorts of creatures, from fish and microorganisms to insects and plants, glow in the dark, in a wide range of shapes and patterns. Although the colors are usually limited to shades of green and blue, reds also occur in rare cases, most notably in a family of bioluminescent fish known as the loosejaws.
Perhaps the most familiar example of bioluminescence is the common firefly, or lightning bug, which flashes a yellow light from the end of its abdomen to attract potential mates in summer. Other organisms also rely on this phenomenon to boost their numbers. Foxfire fungi, for example, found on rotting wood in forests in North America, Europe, and as far away as Asia, produce an eerie green glow likely to attract animals that disperse their spores through the forest.
It is the earth's vast oceans, however, that house the widest variety and instances of bioluminescence. Ocean organisms have had many millions of years to evolve and adapt to their dark surroundings.
Scientists are still making discoveries about the many ways in which this phenomenon occurs in nature, but studies indicate marine animals use bioluminescence to both attract and deter attention. The predatory female anglerfish, for example, uses a glowing worm-shaped lure to draw shrimp and smaller fish toward her gaping mouth. Recent findings show that this same lure will also attract potential mates, like a bright beacon in the murky depths. Some species of squid squirt fluid to shield their escape from predators. Tiny crustaceans called krill, "the popcorn of bioluminescent the sea," swirl en masse to confuse predators with millions of startling lights. Another effective bioluminescent defense often used by schools of smaller sea creatures such as mid-water shrimp is called countershading. These crustaceans light up the undersides of their bodies, mimicking the light patterns from above—virtually disappearing from a predator's view.
While the highest concentrations of bioluminescent creatures tend to be found in remote places like the island of Vieques, off the east coast of Puerto Rico, smaller collections are fairly common throughout North America, from Baja California to Maine's Acadia National Park to Titusville, Florida. They are even found in some surprising places, including New York City's Harlem River. There, during late-summer high tides, comb jellies wash in from the Atlantic Ocean to lurk in this very urban body of water, producing, when disturbed, alienlike rows of rainbow-colored lights along the city shores.
No matter where you live, there's likely to be some form of natural light show nearby. So do some research and head outside for some natural enlightenment.

The Iron Lady of Manipur: Freedom and Re-arrest: An Update
The Iron Lady of Manipur, Irom Sharmila was released from judicial custody and rearrested on the International Women's Day. While she continues to fast, I cannot help comparing the media's (especially the electronic media's) live coverage of Raj Thackeray's success in securing his bail in Mumbai, and the media's general indifference to her release and rearrest in Imphal. Her release and rearrest were covered in sections of the media. The report on rediff.com raised questions (quoting her counsel) about the applicability of S.309 IPC, as she does not have the intent to commit suicide. If S.309 can be slapped on her for the fast, Mahatma Gandhi too must have been guilty of this offence several times, but even the British did not invoke this section against him. It appears S.309 IPC is being invoked against her only to let the State to forcibly keep her alive by a drip thrust down her nose, which is obviously not the objective of this penal provision. The mystery over the fate of this living Gandhian, who has been on fast for the past seven years and the Indian state's silence on her demand to repeal the Armed Forces Special Powers Act – despite Jeevan Reddy Commission recommending its repeal – would surely influence the course of the resistance movements elsewhere.
The latest Tehelka carries a story and an interview with her. Combat Law has profiled her in the past.

It is unfortunate that such news receives almost no coverage in the media, print or electronic.Like NBA's struggle this struggle questions our assumptions about
the nature of state and democracy
in India.

so true! Raj Thackerey deserves way less column space than this brave woman!

Venkatesan, thank you for this article. I'm quite ashamed to say i never knew of Irom Sharmila's existence let alone her extraordinary struggle. And your link to the tehelka story is very helpful. I dont particularly know what good comes out of me knowing this, nevertheless...
I'm Mehernaaz, a lawyer practicing in Mumbai. I was introduced to your blog by my brother Arzan Sam Wadia who blogs himself.

The lands far to the west under the small sea is a desert. The land above that is barren plateaus and a frigid northern coast. The area within the mountains is tropical rainforest. The central land is hills and grasslands. The islands are a volcanic archipelago. beneath the mountains lies the marshes.

Statement from Chairman Thompson
Thursday, January 07, 2010
January 7, 2010 (WASHINGTON) Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement following President Obamas announcement of the findings from the security review:
It appears that the Presidents review of our intelligence and security infrastructure is honest, transparent, and comprehensive. It is clear that many aspects of our Homeland Security infrastructure need to be reformed or reassessed including the watchlisting process, the collection, analysis and management of intelligence, and the deployment of effective screening technologies. I look forward to working with the Administration to fix these problems and am pleased that the President recognizes the critical role the Department of Homeland Security must play in reforming the system. We can create a robust and secure system that ensures the safety of the flying without overly burdening travelers or sacrificing civil liberties.

Step 1: Take a big company's money (undisclosed amount). Step 2: Start running.
Such is the story of the most inspiring video I've seen in a whole long time, paid for by Nike, and directed by Casey Neistat. In just 10 days, Neistat traveled around the world with his friend Max, documenting with handheld cameras, and trying to experience as many things as possible in such a short time.
And while the cost of this video clearly wasn't zero (rental cars, hotels, and airplanes cost money after all), the idea is about as simple as can be: just go. It's yet another testament to just how far you can run with a simple concept and cheap tools.

Statue of Ade Adepitan revealed at University of East London
11:55 09 May 2012
TV presenter and Paralympian Ade Adepitan met his match at the University of East London last week.
A life-size statue of the wheelchair basketball player was unveiled at the institution's SportDock arena.
As well as shooting some hoops, Ade made his appearance to help launch Newham's first ever wheelchair basketball team.
Players will be based at the SportsDock and the team will be open to people of all ages.
Ade said: "I'm really honoured to be involved in this new scheme with the UEL and Newham All Star Sports Academy.
"When I first started playing wheelchair basketball, my initial thoughts were that anyone can play this. I then realised these guys are real athletes.
"I want to share the dream of the Olympics with people who have disabilities."
The statue was sculpted by Christine Charlesworth, one of the 'BT Art of Sport' group of 10 international artists allowed to produce limited-edition Olympic action figures.
David Cosford, the UEL's director of sport, said: "We're really happy to have Ade on board with this scheme.
"This is the start of something very special here at UEL, and will help us in our aim to become the number one university for sport in London by 2015.
"It's a great coming together of people interested in wheelchair basketball, and creating a team at UEL we can be proud of."
The university will give out joining details during the summer.

Everyone that trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has the want to compete in it whether they express it or not. A lot of people that want to compete freak themselves out more than anything else can, but what you have to remember is that everyone else is just as freaked out as you, at least at the lower levels. While you can do as much training, conditioning, and outside training as you want to prepare there are some things that will help you compete even if you do not think about them.
