A sampling of editorials from around New York
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York Daily News on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's policy regarding deletion of emails.
March 2.
As state attorney general, Andrew Cuomo saw for himself how helpful emails could be in exposing truth and bringing wrongdoers to justice.
Incriminating emails written by stock analysts made Eliot Spitzer's reputation as the sheriff of Wall Street.
Scheming emails revealed the role of Gov. Christie's aides in jamming traffic on the George Washington Bridge.
Now, as governor, Cuomo wants to be rid of emails across the whole of state government with super speed. His aides say it's just a matter of efficiency.
Of what kind, we ask.
The governor's policy of having state agencies delete emails after just 90 days is a violation of the people's right to know how officials handle government business — and a recipe for cover-ups.
Cuomo must reverse the policy immediately. The government must preserve emails just as if they were old-fashioned letters on paper or printed memos. Those are not rapidly shredded. Emails should not be rapidly deleted.
The fact that the governor's executive chamber began 90-day email purges in 2007 — before Cuomo took office — is no excuse. He made the call to extend the 90-day rule to all executive agencies, a decision made public in 2013 and now being fully implemented.
Still more, emails are cheaper to store than paper records. The state's email system allots 50 gigabytes of storage for each user — enough to hold 30 years' worth of messages, according to the watchdog group Reinvent Albany.
While the governor's aides insist the 90-day rule is commonplace in the private sector, it's way out of line in the public sector.
The federal government generally holds onto routine emails for as long as seven years. When the CIA recently proposed erasing emails of ex-employees after three years, the agency took heat for being too hasty.
The policy of the New York State Archives calls for retaining correspondence related to policy developments — a category that would cover a big chunk of state emails — for at least two years.
It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to wonder why Cuomo — knowing full well the power of email for holding government accountable — would move so aggressively to wipe it out.
What's the hurry, governor?
The Daily Gazette of Schenectady on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan for improving state parks.
March 4
It would be nice if New York was swimming in money so that it could afford to invest in extras.
But legislating is about setting priorities. And unfortunately, spending hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money on sprucing up state parks should not be one of the state's budget priorities right now.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week released details of his 5-year, $900 million investment in the state's vast park system that includes infrastructure upgrades, new construction, expansion of trails and parking areas, and other improvements.
He cites the popularity of the state's parks and the growing annual attendance, as well as their potential to bring in revenue by attracting tourists.
All true. Parks are great. But have they really deteriorated to the point where major capital investment can be justified in the wake of the state's other needs?
What needs, you ask?
The 2013 Report Card for America's Infrastructure, prepared by the American Society of Civil Engineers, gave the state's roads and bridges a grade of D+, saying New York needs $3.6 trillion in upgrades by the year 2020. Not billion. Trillion.
Nearly 12 percent of the state's 17,422 bridges are considered structurally deficient and 27 percent of them are considered functionally obsolete. About 23 percent of the state's 16,311 miles of major roads are in poor condition, costing New York motorists $5.7 billion per year in extra vehicle repairs and other expenses — or more than $500 per driver. New York's school buildings need $2.1 billion in infrastructure funding, according to the report.
The report also recommends $22 billion in wastewater infrastructure upgrades over the next 20 years.
And we haven't even discussed the state's deficient dams and levees, hazardous waste sites in need of cleanup, or the aging seaports, rail system and airports. You can't get to parks if the roads and bridges are falling apart and your car is in the shop.
Have you seen all those school buses parked in front of the state capitol this week? They've been full of educators. They're not protesting the condition of parks; they're upset about underfunded schools. How high on the list of priorities should schools be? Ask the Schenectady school superintendent, for starters.
But infrastructure and education are just two key priorities.
The other day, the John Locke Foundation, a North Carolina-based conservative think-tank, ranked New York dead last in the country in terms of freedom. Half the state's score was based on tax burden and government spending, including welfare payments, food stamps, housing assistance and other grants and subsidies. Dead last.
Under the governor's plan for parks, Spa State Park will get $7 million to add a new classroom, improve picnic areas and pavilions, and to expand and improve trails. The John Boyd Thatcher Park in Albany County is getting a new visitors center.
Nice? Yes. Necessary? You judge.
There's no doubt that parks contribute to the quality of life here in New York and do serve as a tourist attraction.
But the taxpayers are not a bottomless pit of money, and the state should do what it can to maintain existing facilities as best as it can with current funding. It also should leverage private donations and grants into upkeep where possible.
A nearly $1 billion taxpayer investment into parks at a time when this state has so many other more pressing needs is a luxury we just can't afford.
The New York Times on the Israeli prime minister's speech in Congress.
March 3
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel could not have hoped for a more rapturous welcome in Congress. With Republicans and most Democrats as his props, he entered the House of Representatives to thunderous applause on Tuesday, waving his hand like a conquering hero and being mobbed by fawning lawmakers as he made his way to the lectern.
Even Washington doesn't often see this level of exploitative political theater; it was made worse because it was so obviously intended to challenge President Obama's foreign policy.
Mr. Netanyahu's speech offered nothing of substance that was new, making it clear that this performance was all about proving his toughness on security issues ahead of the parliamentary election he faces on March 17. He offered no new insight on Iran and no new reasons to reject the agreement being negotiated with Iran by the United States and five other major powers to constrain Iran's nuclear program.
His demand that Mr. Obama push for a better deal is hollow. He clearly doesn't want negotiations and failed to suggest any reasonable alternative approach that could halt Iran's nuclear efforts.
Moreover, he appeared to impose new conditions, insisting that international sanctions not be lifted as long as Iran continues its aggressive behavior, including hostility toward Israel and support for Hezbollah, which has called for Israel's destruction.
Mr. Netanyahu has two main objections. One is that an agreement would not force Iran to dismantle its nuclear facilities and would leave it with the ability to enrich uranium and, in time, to produce enough nuclear fuel for a bomb. Two, that a deal to severely restrict Iran's ability to produce nuclear fuel for a decade or more is not long enough. He also dismisses the potential effectiveness of international inspections to deter Iran from cheating.
While an agreement would not abolish the nuclear program, which Iran says it needs for power generation and medical purposes, neither would walking away. Even repeated bombing of Iran's nuclear plants would not eliminate its capability because Iran and its scientists have acquired the nuclear know-how over the past six decades to rebuild the program in a couple of years.
The one approach that might constrain Iran is tough negotiations, which the United States and its partners Britain, France, China, Germany and Russia have rightly committed to. If an agreement comes together, it would establish verifiable limits on the nuclear program that do not now exist and ensure that Iran could not quickly produce enough weapons-usable material for a bomb. The major benefit for Iran is that it would gradually be freed of many of the onerous international sanctions that have helped cripple its economy.
While no Iranian facilities are expected to be dismantled, critical installations are expected to be reconfigured so they are less of a threat and the centrifuge machines used to enrich uranium would be reduced. Iran would be barred from enriching uranium above 5 percent, the level needed for power generation and medical uses but not sufficient for producing weapons-grade nuclear fuel. Absent a negotiated agreement, Iran will continue with its program without constraints.
Mr. Netanyahu also denounced Iran's Islamic regime and the danger it poses to Israel and to regional stability through its support for President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Shiite militias in Baghdad, rebels in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Iran's behavior is often threatening and reprehensible, and that is precisely why Mr. Obama has invested so much energy in trying to find a negotiated solution. But a major reason for Iran's growing regional role is the American-led war that toppled Saddam Hussein in Iraq, which Mr. Netanyahu supported, although he was not prime minister at the time. Even after a nuclear agreement is signed, some sanctions connected to Iran's missile and nuclear programs will remain in place.
Despite his commitment to negotiations, President Obama has repeatedly said he would never let Iran obtain a nuclear weapon and if an agreement is not honored, he would take action to back up his warning. Mr. Netanyahu obviously doesn't trust him, which may be the most dangerous truth of this entire impasse.
The response in Congress suggested considerable opposition to a nuclear deal. But a new poll by the University of Maryland's Program for Public Consultation and the Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development shows that a clear majority of Americans — including 61 percent of Republicans and 66 percent of Democrats — favor an agreement.
Congress must not forget that its responsibility is to make choices that advance American security interests, and that would include a strict and achievable agreement with Iran. If it sabotages the deal as Mr. Netanyahu has demanded, it would bear the blame.
The Times Union of Albany on the U.S. Supreme Court case involving the Affordable Care Act.
March 3
The Supreme Court this week will begin considering whether some obviously sloppy wording in the Affordable Care Act is cause to overrule the equally obvious will of the Congress that passed it.
The importance of King vs. Burwell cannot be understated. If the court uses a technicality to effectively destroy a law that has done so much, it would mark a breathtaking act of judicial activism. It would also mean the end of affordable health care for millions who now have coverage only with the help of government subsidies.
And it could well mean the end of Obamacare — with its opponents offering no clear plan to replace it.
At the heart of the case is a contention that the tax credits that help people pay for health insurance are not supposed to be available to everyone. Rather, plaintiffs argue — based on seven words in the 961-page law — those tax credits are available only to those who obtain coverage "through an exchange established by the state."
When one looks at the entire act, it's clear that's an unintended contradiction. The law was designed, as its first section states, to provide "Quality, Affordable Health Care for All Americans." The credits were a key to that.
If a majority of the mostly conservative court agrees with the plaintiffs, it would be disastrous for Americans, starting with 7 million people in 37 states who obtain their coverage through the federal exchange, rather than through exchanges set up by states.
That, however, is just the beginning. The ACA has broadened Americans' access to health care, keeping people on their parents' policies till the age of 26, and barring insurers from dropping people because of pre-existing conditions. There are also signs — albeit still inconclusive ones — that the act is helping to "bend the curve" in slowing the growth of health care costs. Everyone benefits from that.
Opponents of the ACA criticize Congress for trying to overhaul one-sixth of the U.S. economy in one complex bill - the implication being that such a thing could not be done overnight. In fact, it wasn't done overnight. The law has been phasing in for five years. It's Obamacare's opponents who hope to undo it overnight.
Leaving America with what?
In talking with congressional candidates in this region in recent years, we heard much opposition to Obamacare from Republicans, but no coherent plan to replace it. Nor have we heard a credible plan from the GOP congressional leaders. In fact, most politicians say they would keep many aspects of the law — like keeping young people on their parents' policies — but not the underpinnings that make such benefits affordable.
In passing the ACA in 2010, Congress sought to balance affordability and fiscal responsibility. Surely the originalists on the high court, who fancy themselves able to read the minds of the Constitution's framers from a distance of more than 220 years, can see a mere five years into the past. If, that is, they want to.
The Watertown Daily Times on the president's veto of the Keystone XL pipeline bill.
March 3
The image of freight trains engulfed in flames following accidents has prompted federal officials to explore the option of mandating stricter safety requirements for railcars transporting oil.
Tougher rules may benefit communities affected by train derailments down the road. But the prospect of trains leaking crude oil while being consumed by fire should have inspired President Barack Obama to reconsider his recent veto of a bill passed earlier this year by Congress to allow construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to go forward.
Mr. Obama said he rejected the bill because federal agencies need more time to study the issue. The problem with his argument is that he's been dragging his feet on this this for more than five years while it's been under government review. Just how much time does the president believe needs to pass before he has sufficient information to make an informed decision on this proposal?
Concerns expressed by environmentalists over the Keystone XL pipeline are valid. Oil from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in Alberta, Canada, is one of the dirtiest types there is and requires a more complicated refinement process. And we as a society must start moving away from our reliance on fossil fuels as they significantly contribute to climate change.
But the Transportation Department sent a draft of proposed rules last month to representatives of the Obama administration to tighten safety rules for trains transporting oil. It's clear, then, that government officials realize that oil will be transported throughout the United States one way or another. If Mr. Obama is considering advancing this proposal for stricter regulations, he also must admit that killing the Keystone XL pipeline won't stop the transportation of crude oil one iota.
The only question left, therefore, is how to do this in the safest manner. There is substantial evidence to show that pipelines are a much safer way to move oil from one point to the next.
It's not that pipelines don't come with their own risks. But statistics show they don't have nearly the risks that trains or ships have.
With the frightful potential of another environmental catastrophe, Mr. Obama's position falls apart at its origin. He's looking for a way to make the transportation of oil safer, yet he vetoed a project that moves oil in the safest known manner. What's wrong with this picture?

When is a gaffe not a gaffe in politics? When it's untrue, apparently. Enjoy the campaigns.
A classic gaffe, a career-threatening humiliation delightful to the press, is when someone expresses a home truth in plain language. Like that if a foreign nation attacked a country with which you had a defensive alliance you would defend them. You can have real trouble living something like that down.
It's an especially juicy gaffe when someone blurts out what everyone knows.

Before CSI the television show there was still the scientific investigation of crime, and before computer software there were other (albeit more cumbersome) ways of using fingerprints found at crime scenes to convict criminals.
"Many aspects of crime detection are timeless," observes Pablo "Paul" Cardoza (Art Education 1982). And he speaks with authority here. A deep interest in art and visuality, new technologies, and creative problem solving led Cardoza from art school to the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office, where he spent several years, to his current occupation as a private investigator specializing in computer-based forensics.
From CCA to the Sheriff's Department
"I loved CCA! I got the best grades of my life there," laughs Cardoza. "Shortly after I finished in 1982, I stumbled across an ad from the Sheriff's Department to take a test in fingerprint IDs. It was essentially evaluating our aptitude for pattern matching and negative-positive discernment. I scored really high, and was recruited for a job. I received training from the FBI and the California Department of Justice, and I also took some courses in crime scene analysis."
On the job, he was constantly calling upon skills he'd developed in art school. "Looking at a crime scene is like looking at any problem: You use the creative part of your brain to put things together, to imagine a narrative for what happened. Especially in my particular area of specialization, it was all about creative visual thinking. My artistic background directly translated to forensics."
In addition to Cardoza's specialization in fingerprints, he spent a lot of time in the photography lab working on developing new and experimental techniques, for instance reversing negatives taken at crime scenes to discern additional evidence. "And when the computers at the many different law-enforcement bureaus became networked, we were immediately better able to track criminals on the move -- for instance, say, a hit man moving between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It was a very exciting time, and an intensely interesting job."
Cardoza stayed with the Sheriff's Department for four years, and continued to witness the rapid evolution of the technology of crime detection. He acquired several "beyond the call of duty" commendations. He subsequently worked as a computer engineer for 15 years, and he is currently a private investigator with expertise in computer forensics, surveillance, and criminal defense.
Take and Seek: A Crime Scene Investigator's Story
Toward the end of his career with the Sheriff's Department, Cardoza wrote a novel based on his experiences, Take and Seek: A Crime Scene Investigator's Story, which is now finally published. He is currently seeking producers for possible movie deal. He had to update some of the technology-related plot details to be plausible in 2012, he says, but the basics of the story needed few adjustments.
"Just as numerous aspects of crime detection are timeless," Cardoza says, "the crimes themselves don't change much either. This story has terrorism, drug smuggling, romance, high-tech law enforcement tools, and a lot of action and suspense. It's set in the Northern California coastal county of Mendocino, which is generally known for its serene ocean views, crashing waves, and whale watching tours. In the story, all of that is shattered with the deaths of three young women, a baby abducted from a local hospital maternity ward, and the disappearance of a welfare worker.
"Generally, my concept was: a great story about the best in law enforcement going up against the best on lawlessness and super-terrorism!"

By letting doctors record patients' symptoms with a single click, ClickClinica provides real-time global disease surveillance
There are more than half a million apps at the iPhone App store, and few human interests are uncatered for. You can download books, have a tour of the stars, and lob exploding birds at hunkered-down pigs.
Academics are now getting in on the app action. Earlier this month, researchers at Liverpool University launched ClickClinica, a free app for doctors. It brings together authoritative guidelines for handling medical issues, from bodies such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), so doctors can check best practice before treating their patients.
But the app has a second feature that makes it more than a digital reference book. With a single click, a doctor can record what symptoms their patient has and the treatment they provided. Collect enough of these together, from around the world, and you get real-time global disease surveillance.[view whole blog post ]

Usually when we start up from park in the Florida Sun, it comes right on and COOLS GREAT. After driving awhile, it stops cooling,and won't start cooling again unless I turn off the switches awhile. Then (usually), when I turn it back on, push the recirculate and a/c buttons, it will cool great again. I had similar problem with other cars, and there was a temperature sending unit which was defective, and nothing wrong with my compressor. NO PROBLEMS with front or rear Blowers.

Hi! I just wanted to share my story with you all in the hopes of helping to prevent this from happening to any of you. For the past several weeks I had what I thought were just clogged milk ducts in one breast. I had a large lump on my breast but it wasn't painful to the touch. Applying heat and massage wasn't working so I went to see a Lactation Consultant at my dr's office. She thought I also had a mild infection going on since I had a pretty large lump. She didn't diagnose it as mastitis. I didn't have the typical symptoms of it. There was no redness from the outside but it was tender to the touch. She put me on antibiotics for 10 days and it didn't clear up the lump. A week later I saw my dr. and he said it was fine, call if it got worse. A week after that my breast all of a sudden turns red, swollen, the lump gets bigger and feels like it's going to explode, I had the chills and body aches. I'm in so much pain that I decide to go to the ER. They did an ultrasound and discovered that I had a large abcess. They performed emergency incision and drainage surgery and I stayed overnight in the hospital to be monitored. I now have an open, deep wound in my breast that has to have the dressings changed out daily. Nursing staff showed my husband and I how to do this but because the wound is so deep we didn't feel comfortable or equipped to do this. I have a friend who's an RN that is coming over to do this for me everyday. It hurts like heck. With all this, my gut told me early on that this was more than a clogged duct or an infection. But I trusted my dr. and LC. I wish I would have had that ultrasound sooner. I may not have had to have surgery. Thankfully, the wound is not located near the nipple so I'm still breastfeeding/pumping. I hope this is helpful to any of you who may be struggling with this, or wondering if you might have this.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Christmas giving project makes former patient feel 'nice'
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
LAYTON — Tanner Nielsen knows what it's like to spend weeks in a hospital bed, even at Christmastime.
"It's really boring," he said.
The 9-year-old was a patient at Primary Children's Hospital last November, when he was diagnosed with his second bout of cancer — acute myeloid leukemia, caused by the chemotherapy he received for stage 4 liver cancer he had as a toddler.
Tanner also survived a liver transplant in 2006, kidney disease in 2010, heart failure following another round of chemotherapy late last year, and a bone marrow transplant earlier this year.
"He has been through a lot," said Tanner's mother, Megan Nielsen. "Looking at him, though, you'd never guess."
With each new sickness, Tanner has camped out at the hospital for extended periods of time, filling the days, weeks and months with lots of movies, books and dozens of rounds of board games and card games, including plenty of UNO, which quickly became one of his favorites.
"We'd play it over and over, usually four or five games more than mom wanted," Nielsen said. "It was a good way to occupy the time and be engaged and laugh and have a good time while we were there."
It all proved to be a good distraction while Tanner fought off whatever illness was thrown at him.
A "picture of resiliency," Nielsen said, Tanner is now nine months cancer-free.
Quarantined to his home for much of his ongoing recovery time, Tanner decided last month that he wanted to do something for the kids "stuck in the hospital" at this time of year.
"I feel a little bit like Santa Claus," he said Wednesday, sorting through nine large cardboard boxes filled with at least 100 toys carefully selected for boys and girls around his age.
The boxes were filled with games he enjoyed during his many hospital stays, as well as action figures, art projects, a balloon animal kit, videos and other toys — all bought with money collected in a PayPal account connected to his mother's Facebook page.
"What a difference a year makes," Nielsen wrote on Nov. 19, asking for donations to "Tanner's Christmas Giving Project."
"This year, we are so blessed to have him home and are grateful for the opportunity to give back," she said.
The Nielsens would have provided at least a few toys for the kids at the hospital, regardless of how much was collected.
But the simple pitch garnered more than $720, with which the family, including Tanner's brothers, Austin, 14, and Noah, 12, went shopping.
"It just tells them that somebody else knows what you're going through," Nielsen said.
Her still-fragile son wore a mask while visiting several stores, and they went at times it wasn't expected to be too busy, as relapse is always a worry, she said.
"The further out from cancer we get, the better," Nielsen said. "I don't think he realizes what all he's been through."
Cancer — and everything else that came with it — was the furthest thing from Tanner's mind as he proudly marched through the doors at Primary Children's Hospital on Wednesday to deliver the goods he'd collected. His mom and brothers followed, carrying the overflowing boxes of toys and games.
"We are always in need of various supplies," said Hillary Lindsey, a child life specialist who works with patients admitted to any one of the 32 hematology and oncology patient rooms at the hospital.

With less than a month left before its campaign closes, the United Way of Johnson County remains several thousand dollars short of its goal.
But the cost of missing the goal is far more than hurt pride. It means local organizations will not be able serve all of the people they want to.
The United Way had hoped to raise $1,488,000 during its annual fundraising campaign, which concludes with a celebration later this month. The goal is an increase of about 3.5 percent over the $1,436,000 that was raised last year, executive director Nancy Plake said.
The fundraising goal was set after the 20 agencies supported by the United Way submitted the budgets they needed to keep their programs running, Plake said. That money typically is raised by companies and employees of area businesses who give a portion of their pay, but this year businesses haven't been able to raise as much money as they had hoped, she said.
The United Way provides financial support to a wide array of community services and organizations, such as the Boys and Girls Club, Girls Inc., Johnson County Senior Services, the Red Cross and Salvation Army. In addition, the money also funds United Way programs such as Operation Bundle Up and the Helpline referral service.
Last year, United Way and the agencies served more than 37,000 people. That is one in four people living in Johnson County who have been touched by your donations.
If the United Way isn't able to meet the fundraising goal, then the agency's board of directors will have to decide whether to reduce the amount given to the various agencies or whether to reduce the United Way's operating budget, Plake said.
"We are reaching out to the community and asking individuals, companies or organizations if they haven't made a pledge or gift yet, please do so. Every donation, small or large, will help us toward meeting the goal," campaign chairwoman Stephanie Wagner said.
Individuals can make contributions to the United Way, and officials would like all donations to be submitted about one week before the annual celebration March 20, Plake said.
"There's still hope that we'll be able to make it," Plake said.
Last-minute help from individuals and companies will allow the organization to meet the funding needs of local nonprofit organizations and more importantly help Johnson County residents in need.
If you haven't been contacted about donating, take a moment to contact the United Way and make a pledge. If your workplace doesn't have a fundraising campaign, volunteer to coordinate one next year.
United Way succeeds because local people care about their community. Your gift will help thousands of your neighbors.

The period to be covered in this chapter ranges from the 1660s to the 1780s, and priority will be given to three issues: (i) the development of what in effect was a dominant verse idiom with specified rules for variation-the most significant feature of this being the widespread use of the heroic couplet; (ii) the relationship between poetic writing and a new critical tradition which supplemented advice on how to make poems with directions on how to read them; (iii) the single-handed 'invention' by John Milton of a metrical and stylistic framework for non-dramatic blank verse.
None of these issues can remain immune from the influence of the others and in identifying the correspondences and tensions between them we will provide ourselves with a means of charting the intersections between the formal and referential functions of poetry and the broader cultural/historical conditions of literary history. First, some facts.
The seventeenth century is divided into three principal historical periods; the pre-civil war/post-Elizabethan period of the Stuarts; the civil war and the Cromwellian Protectorate; the Restoration of the monarchy and the beginning of the recognisably modern social/ political structure of government through factional infighting. There are never any direct and predictable causal relationships between history and literary history, but in the period from the beginning of the seventeenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century a number of correspondences become solidly apparent.
From the 1660s to the 1740s poetic writing was dominated by the generic and functional notion of the public poem. This type could range from the direct engagement with contemporary political issues

"Buying my first home with Vickie was a great experience... she facilitated and guided me through the home buying process so it was transparent and understandable, making it easy for me because I knew she was on top of things. Every step of the way she went the extra mile on my behalf. She worried as much as I did about the fine details, and is a gifted professional who understands people as well as the complexities and nuances of buying and selling a home. Vickie used her expertise to negotiate the right home under the right terms for me. I learned a lot from this experience and am extremely happy with the service she provided and enjoyed working with her. I will recommend her to anybody who wants to buy or sell a home!" --- Thareth Y., Beaverton OR
"Vickie was such a pleasure to work with and very accommodating to our busy schedule with small children. She was always a phone call or e-mail away whenever we had a question. Most importantly, she provided us with information and resources throughout the process of buying our new home that were invaluable. We felt she had our best interest in mind throughout the process and was quick to respond to our questions or concerns. We now have a wonderful new house thanks to Vickie's hardwork. We look forward to raising our family in our new home. Thank you Vickie!" --- Stephanie C., Portland OR

Antiquity and the Scope of Archaeology. (Special Section)
Renfrew, Colin, Antiquity
The beginnings of world archaeology
Our field is-the world, our range in time a million years or so, our subject the human race.
In this short paper I want to make several bold claims for ANTIQUITY, and for the achievement of the man who founded it in 1927, O.G.S. Crawford, and his successor Glyn Daniel, who edited the journal from 1958 to 1986. For, in a world today with what seems like too many periodical publications and with numerous places for discussion, it is possible to overlook that for a whole generation ANTIQUITY was perhaps the only journal in the world which already had a vision of what was later to become world archaeology. Perhaps the full potential of a global view could fully be realized only with the development of radiocarbon dating (itself first brought to wide public attention in the pages of ANTIQUITY in 1949): its systematic application by Grahame Clark, one of Crawford's younger colleagues and a regular contributor from 1931, resulted in the publication in 1961 of World prehistory, an outline, dedicated to the memory of Crawford and of V. Gordon Childe. But already, decades earlier, ANTIQUITY was blazing this global trail. To quote the concluding words of Crawford's autobiography Said and done (1955: 312):
I find it difficult to dissociate my views about the future of archaeology in general from the future of ANTIQUITY, for I want the one to reflect and influence the other. To some extent ANTIQUITY is already, just such an open forum. It has both readers and contributors in every country in the world, and when choosing a reviewer distance is no object. No other archaeological publication has this world-wide basis.
To justify that claim I would like to draw your attention to the very selective TABLE I of the date of first publication of various mainly archaeological publications, principally in the English language. I have divided them using the annus mirabilis of 1859 (the year of Darwin's On the origin of species and of the establishment of the antiquity of humankind) and utilized also the boundaries offered by the dates of World War I and World War II. In general I have omitted local regional journals, despite their early date and frequently their excellence.
From this list it may indeed be claimed that ANTIQUITY was the first archaeological journal with a world-wide scope. Of course pride of place must go to the very early antiquarian publications, such as those of the Society of Antiquaries of London (i.e. Archaeologia and Antiquaries Journal), but these were devoted primarily to English antiquarian studies. They continue today to have a mainly English bias and to deal to a significant extent with the surviving material culture of the Middle Ages and later periods. Other journals (such as Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland or Archaiologike Ephemeris) were indeed pioneering journals, but devoted mainly to the archaeology of a single country. Certainly there were some early anthropological journals which reflected the world-wide scope and interests of 19th-century anthropology (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute; L'Anthropologie; American Anthropologist), but these were never primarily archaeological journals, although they did and still do contain important archaeological contributions.
It might have been argued that American Journal of Archaeology would be the first archaeological periodical to have a world-wide coverage, and such was indeed the stated intention of its founders (Renfrew 1980), but it soon developed a preoccupation with the classical and pre-classical archaeology of the Mediterranean lands. Thus it fell to ANTIQUITY, from its foundation year of 1927, to take on that innovatory role.
Since then, of course, it has been joined by several newcomers or even rivals. While American Antiquity is mainly (but not exclusively) devoted to the archaeology of the Americas, the coup in 1935 at the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia, engineered by Grahame Clark and C. …

Beck's five turnovers doom winless Dolphins
MIAMI (AP) -- A few thousand spectators remained when the Miami Dolphins called timeout with 10 seconds left, triggering the most emphatic boos of a miserable afternoon.
For Miami fans, this is not a season to be prolonged.
Sunday's game was touted as the Dolphins' best remaining chance to avoid the first 0-16 season in NFL history. Instead, they sustained their most lopsided defeat of the year. Rookie quarterback John Beck threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles, and Miami fell to 0-12 by falling to the New York Jets 40-13.
The 2007 Dolphins became just the seventh team in NFL history to open a season 0-12. A look at how the other six teams finished:
2007 Dolphins
2001 Lions
1986 Colts
1980 Saints
1977 Buccaneers
1976 Buccaneers
1962 Raiders
"It doesn't seem real to me," Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor said. "We're 0-12. It doesn't get much lower."
It could. The loss represented a big step -- or stumble -- toward a winless season.
"It definitely crosses your mind," nose tackle Keith Traylor said. "You see what's going on out there."
Despite the Dolphins' woeful record, they were favored by 1 1/2 points. Miami extended a franchise-record losing streak to 15 games, and Cam Cameron remained winless as an NFL coach.
Beck's turnovers were the biggest problem. They led to a touchdown and three field goals for the Jets.
"One of my strengths is taking care of the football, and today the football didn't get taken care of," Beck said.
In three starts, he has yet to direct the offense to a touchdown.
The Jets wore navy and gold throwback Titans uniforms and looked like a new team, winning in a rout for the first time this season.
"If you look at our record, every win is a big deal," linebacker Victor Hobson said.
The Jets improved to 3-9 -- with two of those victories over Miami.
"They [stink] too," Taylor said. "They beat us. They'll go home happy, and their fans will be happy that they got three wins this year. Good for them."
The Dolphins took a brief 13-10 lead in the second quarter on Michael Lehan's 43-yard fumble return for a touchdown, but they didn't score again. In the third quarter, Beck fumbled three times in a stretch of five Miami plays. The Jets recovered twice, leading to 10 points.
A third consecutive Dolphins series ended in a turnover when Beck was intercepted by Drew Coleman, setting up Mike Nugent's fourth field goal for a 33-13 Jets lead.
"They do some good things getting after the quarterback," Cameron said. "John learned obviously some tough lessons today."
Darrelle Revis and Kerry Rhodes also had interceptions for the Jets, who came into the game with only nine all season.
Early in the game, Cameron's play-calling was so conservative that the crowd let out a mock roar when Beck finally threw a pass downfield, even though it fell incomplete. Despite the cautious approach, Miami's offense self-destructed while totaling only 187 yards.
Beck finished 23-for-39 for 177 yards. The interceptions were his first this season.
"I think he got a little gun-shy after he threw a couple of picks," Rhodes said. "He kept holding the ball."
The Jets mounted four scoring drives of more than 50 yards, and running back Leon Washington hurt the Dolphins twice on trick plays. Quarterback Kellen Clemens came out of the game on first down at the Miami 18, and Washington took the shotgun snap and ran in untouched for the touchdown, capping an 84-yard drive after the opening kickoff.
Late in the third quarter, on third-and-13 at the Miami 19, Washington caught a shovel pass from Clemens and ran to the 1, setting up a touchdown for a 30-13 lead.
Washington also scored on a 12-yard run with 1:52 left. Thomas Jones scored on a 1-yard run, his first touchdown with the Jets.
"You're not going to win when you have five turnovers," Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter said. "That's just being realistic. Show me a team that can overcome that, and they'll probably win the championship."
The game was as lopsided as the rivalry has become. The Jets beat the Dolphins for the fourth time in a row and the 16th time in the past 20 meetings.
Game notes
Dolphins RB Jesse Chatman aggravated an ankle injury
and missed most of the second half. S Cameron Worrell hurt his knee
and will undergo an MRI on Monday. ... Jets WR Laveranues Coles,
who had been listed as questionable with an ankle injury, caught
five passes for 69 yards. ... The Jets' point total was their
highest since they beat Miami 41-14 in 2004.

Talk therapy is proven to effectively treat depression and bipolar disorder for most people, but which style of treatment does one choose?A recent article from the Huffington Post outlines the most common approaches the 'talk therapy.' This post explains a bit about each type of treatment that benefits people with a mood disorder.
- Psychodynamic Therapy is what probably what comes to mind when you imagine "therapy." In this type of session, a client is often free to talk about whatever comes to mind. Often, a practitioner will say little and will take notes based on what the client has said, in an effort to identify thought patterns. People who enjoy a treatment plan that involves a lot of processing and evaluation will likely benefit from this kind of therapy.
- In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), you will often feel as though you're having a conversation with your therapist. CBT is good for people who have a more cerebral approach to their treatment and want to understand how and why they are being treated. In this type of session, a client will talk with the therapist about ways to change their thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors in order to alter their daily life.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) often works best for people dealing with anxiety or disturbing thoughts in addition to depression or bipolar disorder. In this type of session, the therapist and the client discuss the nature of moods and feelings, and how to accept them in a healthy manner. DBT is meant to help people manage their reactions to extreme feelings like frustration or sadness.
- Group Therapy is an umbrella term for any therapuetic setting in which many clients are being treated at the same time. People with mood disorders are sometimes treated in a community-based acute treatment program (CBAT). In a CBAT, group therapy is often a daily experience. Group therapy is often helpful for younger people, as approaching therapy with peers often makes the process less overwhelming for teens and young adults.
Of course, you should discuss your options with a primary care physician to decide which type of therapy is the best to try first.

Believe it or not it has made a difference, the picture doesn't do it justice. You can see it still but it has faded,I will keep applying it and see how we get on, just gave the Focus a wash too.
Thank you for your advice, I managed to pick up and try 'Meguiars Scratch X' I'm impressed so far, it certainly makes the smaller scratches look better, I will post some pictures tomorrow if the scratch I was concerned about.
Anyone know the best way to get rid of this scratch? Or make it look better? Thanks

Proud of her Malaysian culinary heritage, Catherine Chin Wang Ping Coombes poses with her MasterChef UK 2014 trophy.
Full-time mother and self-professed 'feeder' Catherine Chin Wan Ping Coombes does her motherland proud by winning MasterChef UK 2014 with wanton soup and nasi lemak.
Although based in the UK, Ipoh-born Catherine Chin Wan Ping Coombes, who formerly worked as an assistant hotel manager of a private hospital, is still deeply proud of the taste of home. Now she's made us all proud by winning the British version of the popular MasterChef reality show with decidedly classier versions of Malaysian favourites.
Surprising judges with a three-course meal that could've come from a Malaysian neighbourhood eatery, the 33-year-old wowed their expectations with her starter of wanton soup, main course of nasi lemak, and dessert of vanilla and coconut pannacotta with charred pineapple, freeze-dried mango and 'pineapple and lime air'.
Coombes' Malaysian-inspired spread earned superlative comments from judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace. According to online reports of Coombes' victory, Torode is quoted as saying of her starter: "It's truly delicious. I don't know how you made it. I wouldn't be able to replicate it. It's absolutely stunning."
The Australian chef Torode added: "For me Ping is a cook's cook, she gets her head down and she works really, really hard to make sure she reaches her goal. She is pretty amazing." Meanwhile, veteran host Wallace quipped: "She inspires me, she excites me. And she cares so much. Rarely have I seen someone whose repertoire can span whole continents."
Of her victory, Coombes compared its magnitude to when she gave birth to her daughter now-17-month-old Alexa: "The last time I felt such emotion was when my daughter was born. Something that you don't get to experience a lot. Pure joy and pure bliss that feels incredible. Epic."
Despite winning, Coombes was less optimistic about her chances being allowed to cook in her mother's kitchen. "My mother will be really proud I'm sure. I say this a lot but she still won't let me in her kitchen." Coombes, who attributes her cooking skills to her mother and grandmother, stated that she first started cooking while studying in Oxford, and learnt to recreate her mother's dishes to satisfy her cravings.
On her plans after winning, Coombes said that she would like to learn more about East Asian cuisine and perhaps venture into the restaurant business or open a cookery school.
Coombes won the final challenge of the tenth series of the annual reality cooking show, which aired on BBC One in the UK on the night of May 16, over her co-finalists Jack Lucas and Luke Owen. According to British bookies, Coombes was the clear favourite going into the finals after eight weeks of competition which saw her and her co-contestants cooking with surprise ingredients, feeding armies of hungry people, facing harsh criticisms and dreaded weekly eliminations.
This is not the first time a Malaysian-born has appeared in MasterChef shows in other countries. In 2009, KL-born Poh Ling Yeow became runner-up of the first season of MasterChef Australia. In 2011, Penang-born Adam Liaw ended up winning the second season of MasterChef Australia, while KL-born co-contestant Alvin Quah made it to the first round of the final six. Meanwhile, Malaysian-born Natasha Shan is currently competing in the sixth season of MasterChef Australia.

Appartement charmant, bien décoré, très fonctionnel et agréable. Bien situé, on peut aller dans le centre ville à pied.
L'appartement donne sur une cour intérieure, l'immeuble n'est pas très bien isolé donc un peu de bruits de voisinage, mais pas très gênant. Je recommande!
Very helpful and friendly host; stylish, clean, comfortable and convenient place to stay. A great experience!
Tolle Wohnung. Sauber und Chic. Zentral gelegen. Alles vorhanden was benötigt wird.
Everything was as described, clean and in good condition. Martha was very helpful. Happy to recommend.
Wonderful apartment,great central residential location. Easy access to all places of interest and Metro.
Could not have been better !

Martha's apartment was just as pictured in her photos. Nicely renovated with everything you need, including an iron and great wifi. We had communication problems when we organised check in - we had confirmed that our plane would arrive in Madrid by 7.30pm and that we would be at Apartment by 9pm latest. We arrived at apartment and waited for over an hour panicked that we couldn't get a hold of Martha by telephone or email. A kind neighbour assisted us to text Martha in Spanish as it appears she does not speak English. Once this was sent we were able to contact her and she organised for a friend to meet us at apartment an hour after that. We had a long travel, we were tired and had all our luggage so we were quite upset with the misunderstanding. But after that hiccup, stay was excellent. Apartment is in an arty neighbourhood and very central. We generally just walked to everything. It was about 5mins from metro station, Anton Martin. Took us about 35-40 mins from airport by bus. My advice is to ensure both parties are fully aware of check in details, especially with the language barriers if you don't speak Spanish.
Madrid er en dejlig by. Vi boede i museumskvarteret Almaden 5 hvilket var meget centralt for alle store museer og parker.
Det nye Caixa forum var utroligt spændende arkitektonisk.
Todo perfecto,de acuerdo a lo publicado
If I were to move to Madrid, I might consider staying permanently in Martha Lucia's apartment near Anton Martin Square. The location is either walking distance or one metro stop from everything. The neighborhood is diverse and a real peek into the daily life of Madrid. Small restaurants and cafes abound. It is a ten minute walk to the Prado through the very interesting art district.
The apartment is simple and comfortable. Martha Lucia has provided everything you could need to enjoy weeks of living in central Madrid. I plan to spend more time in her most pleasant spot.
We have a great welcome. The flat was clean and pretty as in the picture. Everything in order. We will return. Great location.

Syria's Assad vows to cleanse nation of extremists
DAMASCUS, Syria President Bashar Assad vowed Friday to "wipe out" Muslim extremists in Syria, blaming them for a suicide bombing at a mosque that killed dozens of people, including a top cleric who supported the embattled regime in the civil war.
The death toll from Thursday night's bombing - the first suicide attack on a mosque in two years of violence in Syria - rose to 49 after seven of the wounded died overnight, the Health Ministry said.
Sheik Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Buti, a top Sunni preacher, was killed as he was giving a sermon in the mosque in the heart of the capital, Damascus. The blast, which also wounded nearly 80 other people, was one of the most brazen assassinations of the civil war, which has seen a number of suicide bombings blamed on Islamic extremists.
Al-Buti, 84, was the most senior religious figure killed in the civil war, and his slaying was a major blow to the president.
The preacher supported the regime since the early days of Assad's father and predecessor, the late President Hafez Assad, providing a Sunni cover and legitimacy to their rule. Sunnis are the majority sect in Syria while Assad is from the minority Alawite sect - an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Al-Buti's grandson was among the dead.
In a statement on Syria's state-run SANA news agency, Assad said al-Buti represented true Islam in facing "the forces of darkness and extremist" ideology.
"Your blood and your grandson's, as well as that of all the nation's martyrs will not go in vain because we will continue to follow your thinking to wipe out their darkness and clear our country of them," Assad said.
Syria's main opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, condemned the blast and expressed solidarity with the Syrian people, hinting that the bombing was the work of Assad's regime.
The Assad regime doesn't "hesitate to bomb mosques, universities, bakeries and residential areas with Scud missiles," said an English statement by the group. "This regime is not deterred by anything to carry out bombings, killing the Syrian people without guilt."
Syria's crisis started in March 2011 as peaceful protests against Assad's authoritarian rule. The revolt turned into a civil war as some opposition supporters took up arms the fight a harsh government crackdown on dissent. The U.N. says more than 70,000 people have been killed since.
In Geneva, the U.N.'s top human rights body on Friday extended its probe into suspected abuses in Syria. By a vote of 41-1, the 47-nation U.N. Human Rights Council reauthorized the investigation, which is being conducted by a panel of four independent experts, until March 2014, a half-year longer than originally proposed.
Those in favor of the extension included the United States, Germany, Libya, Pakistan, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. Only Venezuela was opposed. Abstaining were Ecuador, India, Kazakhstan, Philippines and Uganda.
Earlier this month, the panel, which began its work in August 2011, said it was collecting evidence on 20 alleged massacres in Syria, a reflection of the civil war's growing brutality.
An official at the ministry of religious affairs said al-Buti's funeral was scheduled for Saturday after the noon prayers. The government declared Saturday as a day of mourning and state-run Syrian TV halted its regular programs on Friday to air readings from the Muslim holy book, the Quran, as well as speeches of the late cleric.
In a speech earlier this month, al-Buti had said it was "a religious duty to protect the values, the land and the nation" of Syria. "There is no difference between the army and the rest of the nation," he said at the time - a clear endorsement of Assad's forces in their effort to crush the rebels.

I really wish we could add Pokedex entries to the new Pokemon but oh well. BTW, does anyone know where I can get 64x64 versions of Pokemon from Gen 4?
EDIT: Ingame, my pokemon keeps the background colour and he is missing his outline. How do I fix that?

does anyone know how i can fix this? i really want to put gen 4 evolutions in my ruby hack!
I think paint in W7 makes it 256 colour again, screwing up the whole process. I tried decreasing the colour depth again but ingame it showed up weird(having the pink background, and no outline).
