Press Room
DADT Experts to Score Pentagon on 'Equal and Open' Service By Gay Troops
Washington, DC - Today, the Palm Center released a scorecard and briefing paper highlighting the key standards it will use to measure whether the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy results in genuinely equal and open service for gay and lesbian troops. The first test of these standards will come on December 1st, 2010, as the Pentagon's Working Group on DADT repeal issues its implementation plan. The full document can be downloaded here.
The Palm Center paper states that "based on the evidence and data provided by service members, veterans, experts and foreign militaries, the standard of equal and open service in any implementation plan must include three factors: a.) an affirmative non-discrimination policy; b.) one standard of conduct and facilities; and c.) leadership at all levels."
"As the Senate nears a vote on repeal and the Pentagon Working Group finalizes its report, it is important to have a baseline measure of equal and open service that is clear and firm," said Aaron Belkin, Director of the Palm Center. "Equal and open service can only make our military better by ensuring that all service members live by the same rules and enjoy the same rights and equal treatment," continued Belkin.
The Working Group's implementation plan will serve as the guiding document for the transition to a new policy for gay service members. While additional legal and legislative questions remain in 2010, a constant in this debate continues to be the December 1st deadline under which this report is due to the Secretary of Defense.
"The vote on repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell' in the Senate will be one of the most significant moments for the gay rights movement in American history. Repeal will turn around a ship that has been headed in the wrong direction for seventeen years; this scorecard just makes sure we stay on course," concluded Belkin.
"A single nondiscrimination standard that applies equally to everyone is vital for both gay and straight troops. Strong leadership, combined with that single standard, is what will make the transition to open service go smoothly," said JD Smith, Co-Director of Outserve, a network of active-duty gay and lesbian troops. "JD Smith" is a pseudonym, due to Smith's active-duty status.
In its conclusion, the paper notes that "while the role of the Working Group is not to establish 'equal and open' service for gay troops specifically, the policies recommended by the Working Group in its implementation plan can only provide equal and open service to gay and lesbian troops if they include an affirmative non-discrimination policy, a single standard of conduct and facilities as well as leadership from all levels. The standard set by President Obama and Admiral Mullen is one of integrity and equality and suggests an appropriate standard that is nothing short of equal and open service for all gay and lesbian troops."
The Palm Center is a research institute of the University of California, Santa Barbara, committed to sponsoring state-of-the-art scholarship to enhance the quality of public dialogue about critical and controversial issues of the day. For the past decade, the Palm Center's research on sexual minorities in the military has been published in leading social scientific journals. The Palm Center seeks to be a resource for university-affiliated as well as independent scholars, students, journalists, opinion leaders, and members of the public.

I have following code snippet:
It runs successfully. Can someone explain it?
(I can't recall where I've got this knowledge, so I could be completely wrong)
Under the hood most compilers will transform your class to somthing like this:
where _ABC_data is a C-style struct
and your call
which is alright while execution since you do not use
UPDATE: (Thanks to Windows programmer for right comment)
Calling member functions using a pointer that does not point to a valid object results in undefined behavior. Anything could happen. It could run; it could crash.
In this case, it appears to work because the
Most answers said that undefined behaviour can include "appearing" to work, and they are right.
Alexander Malakhov's answer gave implementation details which are kind of common and explain why your situation appeared to work, but he made a slight misstatement. He wrote "which is alright while execution since you do not use this arg" but meant "which appeared to be alright while execution since you do not use this arg".
But be warned, your code still is undefined behaviour. It printed what you wanted AND it transfered the balance of your bank account to mine. I thank you.
(SO style says this should be a comment but it's too long. I made it CW though.)
It leads to undefined behavior. I put a bit of work into explaining why. :) But that's a more technical answer.
Basically, undefined behavior means you are no longer guaranteed anything about the execution of the program; C++ simply has nothing to say. It could work exactly how you want, or it could crash miserably, or it could do both randomly.
So appearing to work is a perfectly fine result of undefined behavior, which is what you're seeing. The practical reason why is, on your implementation (and in honestly, every implementation), the
Remember, the above paragraph is something specific to your implementation and it's current behavior. It's just a guess and something you can't rely on.
Though I am not sure if this is the exact answer, this is my understanding. (Also, my terminology for CPP is bad - ignore that if possible)
For C++, when any class is declared (i.e. no instant created yet), the functions are placed in the .text section of the binary being created. When an instant is created, Functions or Methods are not duplicated. That is, when the compiler is parsing the CPP file, it would replace the function calls for
Thus, all the compiler would have done is replace appropriate address based on the type of
I did the following for your code (named
*EDIT: Adding some comments to ASM below ( I really am not good at ASM, I can barely read it - just enough to understand some basic stuff) - best would be to read this Wikibook link, which I too have done :D In case someone finds errors in the ASW, please do leave a comment - I would glad to fix them and learn more too.*
Thus, even
probably it runs because your class pointer is not using any member variable in print function...If in print function you try to access a it will not run... as uninitialized class pointer can't have initialized member variable...
As others said, it is undefined behavior. Regarding the reason why it appears to work is that you are not trying to access the member variable
This works on every compiler I have ever tried it on (And I've tried it on many). Yes it is "undefined" but you are not dereferencing the pointer when you call a non-virtual member. You can even write code using this "feature" although purists will yell at you and call you nasty names and such.
Edit: There seems to be some confusion here about calling member functions. You are NOT dereferencing the 'this' pointer when you call a non-virtual member. You are simply using fancy syntax to pass it in as a parameter. This is with all implementations I have seen, but it's not guaranteed. If it wasn't implemented this way, your code would run slower. A member function is simply a function with and extra semi-hidden parameter. That's it! end of story. That being said there may be some compiler written by Cletus' slack jaw software Co. that has a problem with this, but I haven't run into it yet.
This one will explain you more than if I use plain words. Try compiling it with any compiler you want :) But note, it's UB according to standards!
Then read about __thiscall - and all comments above.

Students and faculty from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry are having a busy fall season. As if year-round dental school isn't enough, they have also been volunteering at community events throughout the Bay Area to educate the public about the importance of oral health for complete wellness.
At the Chinatown Community Health Fair held on Saturday, Sept. 21, bi-lingual faculty and student volunteers served hundreds of people of all ages with oral health screenings, disease education and fluoride varnish for pediatric patients. Dentists from the San Francisco Dental Society added to the Pacific group of volunteers.
This coming Saturday, Sept. 28 is the 7th Annual Tenderloin Health, Safety and Resource Fair, where volunteers from the Student Community Outreach for Public Education (SCOPE) program will provide oral health screenings and disease prevention education.
Meanwhile on the Peninsula, the San Mateo Senior Health Fair also takes place Saturday, Sept. 28. Sponsored by the City of San Mateo, this event offers a wide variety of social and medical screenings and services geared towards the elderly. SCOPE volunteers will be providing oral health education and screenings for the seniors in the area.
Other recent outreach activity included the Latin American Food, Health & Wellness Festival held on Sept. 14 in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza. SCOPE volunteers staffed an exhibit table and provided oral health education to attendees at the event.
SCOPE is a peer mentor, student-run volunteer community oral health promotion organization at the dental school. The mission is to develop dental professionals committed to "Best Practices" in community-based oral health projects for underserved people. SCOPE Officers aim to develop leaders engaged in community oral health. This includes the goal to involve every dental student in a community-based project with hopes of achieving a nearly 100 percent participation rate.
The student co-presidents of SCOPE for 2013-2014 are Amy Blake and Peter March, DDS 2015. The faculty advisor is Christine Miller, RDH, MHS, MA, Associate Professor and Director of Community Programs.
As part of a new initiative to create longer-term, sustainable health programs within the community, SCOPE recently expanded its board to bring new student leaders to focus on specific communities of interest. The expanded board includes student leaders focused on elder projects, youth projects, education, Project Homeless Connect and undergraduate mentorship, among other areas.
One of the nation's premier dental schools, University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry has served the Bay Area community for 117 years. The School of Dentistry is committed to excellence in student-centered education, patient care and research. Its clinics, located in San Francisco, Union City and Stockton, offer quality, affordable dental services to children and adults throughout Northern California.

Comments about KONG Braidz Monkey:
My Dog loves squeakers, normally they last a day or 2. We thought this one would be good because of the Kong name and braided body. This toy lasted 5 minutes and the braid unravels once it starts to be chewed. Very dissapointed.
Best Uses
Comments about Braidz Monkey:
Our 8 month old Golden loved playing with it, but tore the head off and took out the stuffing (and squeaker) in two days with just a few hours of play.
It isn't durable/tough at all. If your dog likes to get at the stuffing in toys, you'd best avoid this one. I'd suggest something more like a KONG WUBBA, which is made of a heavy canvas material but is still floppy enough for the dog to toss/throw/thrash.
Best Uses
Comments about Braidz Monkey:
This toy was short lived with our lab puppy. She loved the braid part and wanted to play tug of war but also was able to rip the monkey's head open and pull out the stuffing (which creates a blockage hazard when swallowed).

Big and Slutty Site Facts
Big and Slutty Review
Heavy girls, it is said, put more effort into sex. The plumpers here certainly are testament to that gusto and energy. The women here are somewhere between heavyset and Big Beautiful Women. Most have a nice amount of extra flesh, a roly poly figure with very plump and heavy natural breasts, and a milky white skin that is unblemished and juicy. They are undressed and usually play out some sort of fantasy with men and sometimes women too. They are undressed, have their heavy tits fondled, and give wet, sloppy blow jobs. They are penetrated and fucked in various positions. In lesbian scenes they lick and tease one another and use sex toys.
The library isn't very large at Big and Slutty, though. At the time of my visit there were only 28 scenes in the library. Each of these runs about 20 minutes long on average and most are exclusive to the website. You can save them in Windows Media files that provide a good to great quality playback. You can also stream the movies online in a Flash video player that looks sharp and has the same DVD quality playback and resolution of 720x540 pixels.
There were fewer galleries, just 5 when I was on the site, and these weren't all that great in terms of quality. The images are smaller and not high resolution. I was able to browse through the sets of images online and save the images manually, one by one, but there were no zip files available for saving entire galleries all at once.
New material is supposedly added to the website almost daily. I was suspicious of the dates on the scenes, though; if there were really daily updates, then this site which is seven years old should have hundreds of scenes, not just 28. Either the dates are lies or the site takes down scenes when new ones are added.
You will have access to several bonus sites on the same network, called Adult Movie Zone. They have names like Granny Fucking, Interracial Fuck, Teen Teen Teen, Wives Exposed, Fuck Japan, and All Big Cocks to name just a few. Most sites have the same media options and are around the same size.
Big and Slutty has some quality BBW hardcore to share, but not much of it. The site may be updating daily as it claims but its not growing any larger. With bonus sites this is less of an issue. Overall, the site is probably worth a 30-day pass, but staying on longer wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Moleskine. I've always loved to write because there is something about a crisp piece of paper & sharpened pencils that sparks my creativity. When I bought my Moleskine, it came with a brief history. The original creators were a family from Tours, France (figures the French would be behind yet more elegance) who shut down their operation in 1986. British author Bruce Chatwin, who used them exclusively when writing, bought as many as possible and mourned the loss of the company.
Well lo and behold! In 1998, The Italians showed up in the form of a Milanese publisher, who resurrected the notebooks under the name Moleskine . The rest as they say is history. I process a tremendous amount of information and I've found that these notebooks help keep my mind organized. I jot down random notes, as well as thoughts and impressions that I can use as subjects for my writing.
I love technology and the many benefits it brings (I'm composing this post on my laptop using Windows Live Writer). However, there is nothing like doodling and scribbling streams of consciousness in a notebook. There is something very organic about the process that doesn't work with a computer. I work my thoughts out on paper and then transfer them to Live Writer.
…and I'm out

Putting Pen To Paper
Posted by Lenoxave at 11:30 AM 0 comments
It's been so damn long since I've written on this site. Where do I even begin? The past year has been a series of incredible highs and lows. I faced a lay-off, took time off, ran out of money and now have to ask my landlord for an extension on the rent. There is never and I-repeat-never dull moment in my life. I've been on a roller coaster of emotions from uncanny calm to complete paralyzing fear. You know what? I will make it through. I have no doubt about it.
I can't predict what the future will bring & won't worry about it. I'm giving my time to the here and now. Life has shown me that it can change in the blink of an eye for good or for bad. I am just going to look my fear in the eye when needed and move from there. I'm giving myself (2) more years in my current location and then heading back to NYC. I miss it so much and didn't really feel it until I spoke w/my aunt and sister over the holiday weekend.
I have learned so much about myself and have no regrets about moving to CA. None. It's been over 10 years and I feel the call of my family and the city of my birth. There are certain financial/professional goals I will achieve here in Cali before my time is done. My re-birth began when my former company severed ties and I am excited about the possibilities.

College Hockey:Broncos Finish Weekend Sweep of Nanooks
Two Third Period Goals Boost WMU to Victory
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — On a day full of festivities in the state for Hockey Day in Michigan, the Western Michigan Broncos moved two points further ahead of the Alaska Nanooks in the CCHA standings completing the weekend sweep 3-1.
With both teams starting the series tied with 19 a piece, the Broncos have now positioned themselves nicely with four games remaining, in place to host a first-round CCHA tournament game Mar. 2-4. The Broncos were able to unlock the 1-1 deadlock tie with the Nanooks on junior Brian Bicek's third goal of the series and sophomore winger Jeff LoVecchio's empty-netter with just 22 seconds remaining.
"We talked about it going into the weekend, the intensity and emotions that would be in these games," said Jim Culhane, WMU head coach. "It was 1-1 after 40 minutes of play, and I thought we really raised our game in the third period."
Raising their game, in fact they did as the Broncos came out of the second intermission skating hard and determined to finish the sweep of UA and send them home with zero points from the weekend series.
Despite only getting six shots during the final 20 minutes of play, the Broncos made sure that those six shots they did get on junior net minder Wylie Rogers really counted, giving themselves the chance for the sweep.
"It's something we talk about all the time," Culhane said about getting pucks to the net. "We have to get the puck to the net, get the puck to the net. But, give them full credit because they play the type of defensive set, the left-wing lock, that doesn't give you many chances."
"It seems like in the start of the game, it's something we need to look for more, getting that one extra pass in-front of the net," he said.
Less than five minutes into the final period of play, the Broncos' senior Paul Szczechura won a face off clean deep in their zone, as the puck popped out of the scrambled players out to the blue line, where Bicek took it from there on a breakaway chance against the Nanook net minder Rogers as he saw Bicek stop, fake a shot and then slap the forehand try past the confused UA goalie moving WMU to a 2-1 advantage at that juncture of the game.
"It's a move I started a working on while playing junior hockey," Bicek said. " Tonight, when the puck popped out, I was pretty much going full speed from inside our zone, I looked back at the red line and didn't see anyone too close since it's a move that takes a little space, and I just fired away with it."
As the Broncos took the third period lead, and sealing the victory with the empty-net finisher with LoVeechio's center ice flip through the UA zone, the Nanooks however, got the scoring started first in the second period on a Nathan Fornataro bullet from inside the blue line.
Moving the puck, around the zone was UA's top players Curtis Fraser and Kyle Greentree, as Greentree found the defenseman Fornataro on the right wing side of the Bronco zone.
Coming into the weekend, Greentree had 35 total points on the season while Fraser was second on the team with 29 points, as each leave Kalamazoo with one assist.
"It's a broken record for us now, another strong effort and ending with no results," said Tavis MacMillan, UA head coach. "Now, we are starting to get the goaltending, but we don't have the guys putting the pucks in the net. We're getting opportunities, creating chances, but every time we had a scramble around their net we couldn't finish like they did."
Delivering the equalizing tying goal of the period, was Szczechura who intercepted a Nanook pass a the center line, slicing his way through two UA defenders with the help from sophomore winger Matt Clackson, who put a good hit on a Nanook, helping free Szczechura in the zone, as he flipped a winner over the right shoulder of Rogers underneath the cross-bar.
Good goaltending proved to be the difference once again as freshman Bronco goaltender Riley Gill came up with 32 big saves on 33 Nanook shots with Rogers stopping 17 WMU shots.
"Riley has been playing great as of late, and done a real solid job for us in his rookie season," Culhane praised of his freshman net minder. "Both guys [junior Dan Bellissimo and Gill] have played great all year. We are in an ideal situation as a program, having confidence in both our goal tenders."
Following this weekend, UA will host Notre Dame next weekend looking to rebound after two losses to the Broncos.
"It's going to be very similar next weekend against ND," MacMillan said. "ND plays a very similar game like Western, but just to a different level. That is why they are one of the top teams in the country.
The Broncos will look to take the confidence of the weekend sweep against the Nanooks into their home and home series with Michigan State, in a Friday night match up which will also be senior night.
"What we have next weekend against MSU is our final home regular season game, and we will be honoring five seniors," Culhane said. "Hopefully, we can have a sellout here and have a great final home sendoff for our senior class."
With a 7:35 slated face off time for WMU and MSU in Lawson Ice Arena, Feb. 16, UA will take center ice with the Fighting Irish at 7:05.

The Vampire Diaries will start the new year with another hot guest star, Dillon Casey (recently seen in Being Erica and showing off his assets in MVP: The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives). According to executive producer Julie Plec, he'll be playing a character named Noah who becomes obsessed with Elena, much to Stefan's concern. Looks like the path to true love is going to be as rocky as ever for Elena and Stefan.
Turkish fans will be delighted to learn that the Vampire Diaries is airing in Turkey now. You can catch it on Fridays at 21:30 on the Mymax channel. Thanks to @Ozge_Lydia for the information.
Production on the Vampire Diaries in Atlanta is on hold now for the holidays, and will resume in January. As we understand it, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder will be doing some promotional work for the show before they take a proper break, so hopefully we'll get news on that to post soon. We'd like to thank the cast and crew for all their hard work, dedication and obvious love for this show. The fact you completely won over a couple of hardcore book fanatics like myself and Vee speaks volumes. ;) We wish you all a very happy holiday, and good luck for the new year.
Finally, it's Ian Somerhalder's birthday tomorrow (December 8th). Vampire Diaries Online have set up a group card for fans to sign, so head on ever there to add your birthday messages for him.

A huge and newly discovered asteroid known as asteroid 2013 TV135, sailed pretty close in astronomical terms to Mother Earth back in September. Asteroid 2013 came within about 4.2 million miles to earth on Sept. 16, and will be making its return orbit near Earth again in 2032.
NASA reported on Oct.17 that the asteroid, one of 10,332 near-Earth objects, was first discovered on Oct. 8. Although asteroid 2013 didn't impact our home planet this time around, Earthlings are concerned about a possible impact when the asteroid's orbit brings it back again in 2032.
The asteroid is initially estimated to be about 1,300 feet (400 meters) in size and its orbit carries it as far out as about three quarters of the distance to Jupiter's orbit and as close to the sun as Earth's orbit.
Our favorite space agency doesn't seem concerned about an Earth impact in 2032 though.
Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office said, "to put it another way, that puts the current probability of no impact in 2032 at about 99.998 percent.
"This is a relatively new discovery. With more observations, I fully expect we will be able to significantly reduce, or rule out entirely, any impact probability for the foreseeable future."
NASA calculated that the probability of asteroid 2013 TV135 striking Earth in 2032 has only a "1-in-63,000 chance" of hitting our planet.
NASA maintains a program called Spaceguard, a.k.a., The Near-Earth Object Observations Program, which detects and tracks asteroids and comets passing close to Earth.
The purpose of Spaceguard is to determine if any of those 10,332 near-Earth objects pose any danger.
For more on asteroid 2013 TV135's return and possibly hitting Earth in 2032, see the video accompanying this article.

We typically see photovoltaic panels up on roofs, as they're broad, open surfaces that receive a lot of sunlight. You know what else spends a lot of time in the scorching sun, though? Sidewalks. With that in mind, a team at Washington DC's The George Washington University has created what is claimed to be "the first walkable solar-paneled pathway in the world."

An Island (Tokelau) Powered 100% by Solar Energy
Some of the most vulnerable places in the world to live in the face of climate change are islands. Rising sea levels, contaminated ground water, and increasing severity of storms are just some of the many threats to island communities. Many island residents also pay extremely high energy prices, due to limited domestic resources and the need to import fuel long distances. Switching to renewable energy can not only decrease fuel expenditures for many island populations, but can also show the world what can be done in the face of climate change.
New California Law Will Help Expand Solar Deployment
WASHINGTON, D.C. – SEIA President and CEO Rhone Resch released the following statement today after California Gov. Jerry Brown signed landmark energy legislation AB 327 into law:
Solar Energy Non-Profit Delivers Alternative Energy to Low-Income Neighborhoods
Residential solar power has become increasingly affordable over the past few years as an environmentally friendly, cost-saving alternative to traditionally sources of energy. But the barriers to entry can still be too high for low-income communities, which is where solar non-profits like GRID Alternatives come in.

Miami Marlins: Ozzie Guillen has not errupted, but could be close; Lineup snafu explained
Manager Ozzie Guillen hasn't handled the current slide the way many might have expected. He has yet to launch into any profanity-ridden tirades about his team's play to the media. He's wanted to, but Guillen has thought it best to hold his tongue for the time being.
Before Tuesday's game, Guillen hinted the much anticipated blow up might not be far away.
"Listen, I have to be careful how I treat these kids," Guillen said. "I don't have a veteran team. I don't know how they're going to handle it. I'm not going to put more pressure on them. I don't need to say something they know. How you're going to say it? How they're going to take it? That's a different way.
"I will, pretty soon. I want to be on ESPN. I want to be all over the news. I haven't been there for a long time. I should. I make a lot of money when I'm doing that. Pretty soon I'm ready to erupt, but right now I'm trying to be positive the most I can because we need that…The day it will happen, I will close that door and be there until 2 o'clock in the morning talking about baseball. I will piss them off. They want to make me miserable, I will find [a way] to make them miserable, too."…
The Marlins caught the Cardinals in a lineup snafu late in Monday's game, but it didn't do them any good. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny wanted pitcher Victor Marte hitting in David Freese's seventh spot as part of a double switch. Somehow, home plate umpire Bob Davidson put Marte in the five-hole. Davidson tried to correct himself after a pitch was made, but it doesn't work that way.
Guillen at least three times received confirmation from Davidson Marte was in fact hitting fifth.
The Cardinals lost first baseman Allen Craig. It didn't hurt them, though. That spot came up in the 10th with the bases loaded and two out, and pitcher Joe Kelly beat out a pinch-hit, infield single to short for what proved the game-winning RBI.
"That's how we roll," Guillen said. "That's how we play. They could come here with 15 players and still kick our [expletive] . That's sad. That was very, very sad."

Hi !
Is it possible that a club gives you a job offer, instead that you need to apply for the job ?
Yeah. Happened to me in various games. Just got one from Shaktar an hour ago XD
Yeah sometimes teams will aproach you, if your doing good for your current club.
Yeah if you are doing well and they want you incharge of there club they will approach you without needing to apply
i get loads of offers, tho i have took weymouth 2 league 1. if i get linked i give no comment and then sometimes get an offer. sometimes i just get an offer out of the blue
you'll get offers more frequently and earlier in your career if you are a former international player for example.
Man U just approached me. Told 'em where to go!
Ok, thanks for the answers.

Robocall Challenge: Your Entries Are In!
Last October, the FTC challenged innovators to create solutions to block those annoying — and illegal — robocalls. We're happy to announce that we received 744 eligible submissions before the FTC Robocall Challenge closed on January 17, 2013. You can check out a brief description of each entry in the Challenge submission gallery. Way to go, innovators!
Judging will begin next week. The judges will evaluate submissions based on the following criteria:
- Does it work? (50 percent)
- Is it easy to use? (25 percent)
- Can it be rolled out? (25 percent)
The winner(s) of the challenge will earn national thanks — and, under the right circumstances, $50,000. Stay tuned for the announcement in April 2013.
Meanwhile, if you happen to get a robocall, hang up. Take a listen to our audio tip to learn more.
Robocalls are usually instigated by identity thieves in making a point. The calls appear like recordings timely generated. It is a nuisance call. It comes on que when you are busy doing something important. How do you get rid of this?.
I did not put in any entry. This is an entry
by the resident idthief on my account. Please
take note.
Finalize results please
Diana j.Andrews
me I just don't answer if they leave vm ignore report
call information to FTC
I have found that sometimes you can press 1 or 0 and you either get a person or the tape repeats itself allowing you to in effect clog that line for a while . I don;t just hang up I press the number for a person like a 1 and then put the phone down . They usually say hello for 10-15 seconds then I get the phone off the hook signal. I realize some calls may go overseas but I have never been billed for any long distance calls yet. Just hanging up is so unsatisfying; they are going to call back anyway. I get to recorded commercials and 4 hang ups on my answering machine just this week. They are clogging up the nations telephone lines !
Nothing works. Unfortunately the "out of area" caller ID can be a legit call from family in Europe. It would be nice if a certain number could be dialed after receiving one of these pesky calls to trace and block them or automatically forward to donotcall. get regular calls (on Iphone) telling me I filled out online questionnaire and want to follow up. Landline is still worst with approx 5 calls a day.

The Medical Center is caring for newborn triplets for the first time since the 1970's.
Addie, Chloe and Braden Harvey were born Sunday night, Feb. 4, 2007, at around 11:30 p.m.
The Medical Center was able to deliver the babies because of their updated technology. In the past, the Medical Center was unable to care for multiples because their technology was not as advanced as other hospitals.
Kathy Harvey and her husband Brad say they are thrilled they get to keep their babies close to home.
"It's amazing. I thought if I could push to 34 then by some grace of God we would be able to keep them here with us," Kathy said.
Kathy said she is unsure how long her triplets will have to stay in the newborn ICU. The Medical Center may be expanding their newborn ICU to care for more newborns.

Israel's parliament held a session on Monday to formally swear in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new pro-settler coalition government, just two days before a visit by US President Barack Obama.
The session at the Knesset, or parliament, opened at 1300 GMT with a series of formal speeches and was to culminate in the mid-evening when Israel's 33rd government will be sworn in.
After more than 40 days of tortuous negotiations, Netanyahu on Saturday announced he had put together a coalition with a majority of 68 within the 120-seat Knesset.
Although the lineup includes two centrist parties -- Yesh Atid (19 seats) and HaTnuah (six seats) -- which want to renew peace talks, it is dominated by the hawkish Likud-Beitenu (31 seats) and its new national-religious ally, Jewish Home (12 seats), a far-right faction that is party of choice for settlers.
Addressing MPs, Netanyahu thanked the country for electing him as premier for a third term and pledged to represent all of Israel's citizens, as well as defend them from regional threats such as Iran's nuclear programme.
"The top priority of the new government is the defence of the security of the state and its citizens," he said, adding that Israel faced "very great threats" from Iran and Syria.
He also gave a nod towards the moribund peace process, which was scarcely mentioned in the coalition agreements, saying his new government would be "ready for compromises in exchange for real peace" and would talk with any Palestinian partner who would negotiate "in good faith."
Ahead of Obama's visit, which begins on Wednesday, the White House has played down expectations of a relaunch of direct peace talks, which broke down weeks after they were launched in September 2010.
Resuming negotiations is unlikely to be a priority for the new Israeli government, which was elected largely on socio-economic issues and which counts a strong showing of ministers with an openly pro-settlement agenda.
Ahead of the session, the newcomers were quick to pin their colours to the mast.
"The era of Ehud Barak is over. The new government will strengthen settlement," said incoming deputy defence minister Danny Danon.
Barak stepped down as defence minister last week to be replaced by Moshe Yaalon, a former military chief of staff who strongly supports the settlement enterprise and who has been outspoken in his opposition to a construction freeze.
Another new face in government is housing minister Uri Ariel, himself an ultra-nationalist settler from Jewish Home, who at the weekend told the top-selling daily Yediot Aharonot, his aim was to increase the number of Israelis living in the occupied West Bank.
"Today there are 360,000 and I want for there to be many, many more," he said. "Will I double the number of settlements? No. Will I provide for natural growth? Yes."
Asked how such construction would impact on the prospects of a Palestinian state, he said: "There can be only one state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea -- Israel."
-- Defence, housing play key role --
The defence and housing ministries play a central role in approving and advancing Israeli construction on Palestinian land seized during the 1967 Six-Day War.
Danon, who is one of the most hawkish MPs in Likud, was quick to dismiss any talk of a renewal of peace talks during Obama's visit.
"We want peace but whether you look to the left or right in this region, you realise there is no partner," he said.
Avigdor Lieberman, whose Yisrael Beitenu ran on a joint electoral ticket with Likud, said his party would "strongly oppose" any US-led pressure for a new settlement freeze.
Sources close to Yaalon also dismissed the prospect of any new gestures to the Palestinians during Obama's visit, telling public radio he would oppose any move to freeze settlements, to release prisoners or to transfer any land to Palestinian Authority control.
Opposition parties were quick to denounce the new government's pro-settler bent.
"This rightwing government is going to continue to waste billions of shekels on the settlements," Zahava Gal-On, head of the leftwing Meretz party, told the radio.

Senate Bill 2275 Will Remove Texas State Board of Education Authority
Over Curriculum Standards and Textbook Selection
by Steven D. Schafersman
President, Texas Citizens for Science
2009 April 13
[Originally written as a Press Release]
Texas Citizens for Science strongly supports Senate Bill 2275 which transfers authority for curriculum standards and textbook selection from the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) to the Texas Commissioner of Education. Senate Bill 2275 is bipartisan and has three Republicans and one Democrat as authors.
For decades, member of the SBOE have censored, qualified, distorted, damaged, manipulated, and rejected respectable, competent, and high-quality curriculum standards and textbooks. This damage to public education was done for political, ideological, and religious reasons, never for educational or pedagogical reasons. In the past, this activity was done secretly, behind closed doors, but now it is being done publicly in full view of the public and press. Recently, inaccurate, censored, and pedagogically-inferior English Language Arts and Science curriculum standards have been written by the SBOE using their power of amendment. This year, the Social Studies standards will be attacked by some SBOE members for non-educational reasons that support their political and ideological agendas.
For textbooks, in the past the SBOE chair would secretly "negotiate" with publishers to make them change the content of their textbooks under the implied threat of being rejected; publishers readily submitted to save multimillion dollar textbook contracts with the state. In numerous instances, textbook content was replaced by watered-down, inferior, and often misleading, inaccurate, and incomplete information. This activity continues today, albeit more openly with both press and public attention. Science textbooks censorship by the SBOE has occurred since the 1960s, as has censorship of social studies and other textbooks.
The Texas State Board of Education has been an embarrassment and a disgrace to Texas for many decades. This Board's activities that censor and corrupt the accuracy and reliability of specific topics in mainstream Science, Social Studies, and Health Education are well-known to educators throughout the United States as well as in Texas. All educators are aware of the negative and damaging influence the Texas State Board of Education has on textbooks used in Texas and other states.
Texas Citizens for Science has opposed the State Board of Education since 1980 in our effort to defend the accuracy and reliability of science education in Texas. We have repeatedly had to defend Biology and Earth Science textbooks from the Board's predatory efforts to damage their content about such subjects as evolution, the origin of life, the age of the Earth and Universe, the true nature of the fossil record, and several other scientific topics.
Although largely successful in the past, only this past month TCS and its partners were unable to prevent the State Board of Education from using their amendment powers to weaken the excellent science standards produced by science teachers, professors, and scientists. The State Board's amendment of the original standards created several flawed standards that, while not overtly unscientific, are nevertheless confusing, unnecessary, poorly-written, and opened the door to insertion of pseudoscientific information, including bogus arguments supporting Intelligent Design Creationism. The new science standards and the process by which this was conducted seriously damage the science reputation of Texas. Among others things the Board accomplished during this exercise in pseudoscience was to remove the e-word and the ancient age of the universe from the standards. These "accomplishments" were petty, disgraceful, and clear proof of the anti-scientific and pro-Fundamentalist bias of most of the Board members. A modern, technologically-advanced state such as Texas does not need such anti-science activity from a state board.
Texas Citizens for Science urges the Senate Education Committee to approve SB 2275 and send it to the full Senate, the House, and then hopefully signed into law.
Update, 2009 April 14
The bill's primary author, Senator Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, offered a committee substitute today so the version of the bill originally filed is no longer relevant.
The bill was left pending in committee today because the authors are considering further changes to the bill, including:
- Adding a role for the elected SBOE members to make changes at the end of the process only with a four-fifths supermajority (12 of the 15 members).
- Adding a specific role for college and university professors to be subject area experts in addition to teachers only as originally written.
- Adding language that requires the Commissioner of Education to publicly disclose reasons for changing any part of the recommendations that come from the teacher/professor workgroups during the writing or textbook selection processes.
One of the bill's authors, Senator Kip Averitt, R-Waco, had this to say about the bill:
Senator Seliger offers a completely logical alternative to that position, and whether or not these people are experts or not, I can tell you there are people on the SBOE who vilify public education as the work of the devil. And I wonder how they can have a sincere interest in advancing the education of our school-age children with an attitude that public education is an evil entity. So I believe that this represents a very logical and tangible alternative to what we currently have.
We certainly have to weigh the fact that these were elected folks. So maybe they, maybe we, have elected them for the wrong mission, and I think Senator Seliger's alternative here is putting that part of the mission back to where educators have a significant say and professionals in the education field are engaged in the process of determining what our children are reading in their textbooks.
Another note: Donna Howard's bill (House Joint Resolution 77) that removes authority over the Permanent School Fund from the SBOE was reported favorably out of House Public Education Committee. This bill creates a Permanent School Fund Management Council and requires a constitutional amendment to become law. It is further evidence that legislators have had enough of the State Board's embarrassing, counter-productive, and anti-educational activities. The SBOE has made itself so obnoxious in its efforts to further a radical religious-right agenda that even the conservative Republicans in the Texas Legislature are opposed to it. This is legacy of radical religious-right paymaster James Leininger and Governor Rick Perry and their effort to radicalize the State Board of Education after their effort to do the same to the Texas Legislature failed.
News Reports
Texas lawmakers debate stripping education board of authority over curriculum, textbooks
By Terrence Stutz
The Dallas Morning News
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
AUSTIN – Four state senators, fed up with curriculum and textbook battles at the State Board of Education, pitched legislation Tuesday that would strip the board of its authority over curriculum and textbooks and transfer it to the commissioner of education.
Sens. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, and Kip Averitt, R-Waco, told the Senate Education Committee that the state board has become too politicized and is not always focused on what is best for schoolchildren.
Debate on the bill comes just weeks after the board clashed over science curriculum standards and how evolution should be taught in high school biology classes. Social conservatives on the board unsuccessfully pushed to require that students be taught the "strengths and weaknesses" of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and other scientific theories.
Seliger said the "political nature" of the elected board often "results in infighting and partisan beliefs becoming part of the public school curriculum" – as exemplified in the battle over science standards.
"The debate went on with almost no discussion of children," he said. "The fact is there is nothing that makes the board particularly qualified to choose curriculum materials and textbooks."
Averitt was more blunt, saying the board "has been nothing but the worst example of partisan bickering and fighting, Republicans and Democrats alike." There are 10 Republicans and five Democrats on the education board.
Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, was the only committee member defending the authority of the education board to approve curriculum standards and textbooks.
Noting that the 15 board members are elected from their regions of the state, Patrick suggested that stripping the board of its authority would take away residents' ability to have a say over the textbooks used in public schools.
"Aren't you concerned that you're taking this out of the hands of the people?" he asked Seliger. "Because the State Board of Education is elected, the people of Texas now have a direct say."
Patrick also questioned the wisdom of transferring authority over textbooks to the education commissioner and textbook review panels made up of teachers and academics – as called for in Seliger's bill.
Seliger said the bill would allow the state board to overrule the commissioner on curriculum and textbooks, but only with a super-majority – four-fifths of the members. Other board powers – such as setting passing standards for student tests and approving charter schools – would not be affected by the bill, he added.
The committee did not vote on the legislation Tuesday.
Bill would limit education board's power to set policy
Because of bickering, Senate authors say, most authority would shift to appointed commissioner.
By Kate Alexander
Austin American-Statesman
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
The pitched political battles over several recent State Board of Education decisions could lead the Legislature to strip the board of most of its authority to set curriculum standards and choose textbooks for public schools.
"I'm not sure that we're serving the best interests of our children at this time," said Sen. Kip Averitt, R-Waco, an author of the bill, which the Senate Education Committee considered Tuesday. The committee did not vote on the proposal.
Both Republicans and Democrats on the 15-member elected State Board of Education are equally at fault for the "partisan bickering and fighting" that has marked recent debates over science and language arts curriculum standards, Averitt said.
"All I hear is that the Republicans want to push their religious views into the curriculum, and the Democrats want to teach our children how to masturbate," Averitt said during the committee hearing Tuesday.
Senate Bill 2275 would give the state's education commissioner, who is appointed by the governor, the authority to approve the curriculum standards and textbooks based on the recommendations of a group of educators. The board members, however, could override the commissioner's decision with a four-fifths vote.
State Board of Education Chairman Don McLeroy, R-College Station, said that under the proposal, only the "education establishment" would shape curriculum and textbook decisions and that the board would simply become a rubber stamp.
"There is nobody to question them if this bill is passed," McLeroy said. "What is wrong with having a debate?"
The political process ensures that parents and Texas voters have a voice in what students learn, he said.
"Regular people have a say-so with the State Board of Education because they elect us," McLeroy said.
But students' needs are overwhelmed by the controversy, said Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, another author of the bipartisan bill.
The proposed approach would ensure educators with experience and expertise in teaching the academic subjects can shape the curriculum and pick the textbooks without political interference, he said.
Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, said he was concerned that the change would mean the people of Texas would no longer have a hand in such critical decisions if the elected state board were essentially removed from the process.
Last month, the board stirred controversy with new science curriculum standards that critics say open the door to attacks on teaching evolution.
University of Texas biology professor David Hillis said the result of that decision is: "Texas students now have a weakened science curriculum, and the science reputation of the state has been seriously injured." This bill will "keep the focus of education on education, rather than on politics," Hillis said.

2012 Land Pride CA2572
The 25 Series Core Aerators are designed to relieve soil compaction and allow air circulation in grassy surfaces such as lawns, soccer fields, football fields, baseball fields, municipal parks, and golf course fairways. These Aerators utilize replaceable case hardened closed spoons mounted on weighted rotating discs, and the spoons pull cores up to 3" in length from the soil profile every 7" of forward travel.
Pulled cores are deposited on the surface for subsequent drying, pulverization, or removal. In order to achieve maximum penetration the CA2572 offer optional poly water tanks that fit in the top mounted weight trays. When filled with water these tanks provide significantly increased down pressure on the spoons. When your turf begins to suffer the effects of compaction and wear, such as shallow root zones, thatch build-up, worn pathways, hard-pack soil, poor surface percolation, or water stands, a Land Pride 25 Series Core Aerator will provide immediate seasonal relief.

ETERNAL further enhances Cynthia Leitich Smith's reputation as a foremost author of dark fantasy.
"The confessional style, alternating between Miranda and Zachary's points of view, is intriguing as a diary—readers should be hooked by this fully formed world, up through the action-packed finale."
— Publishers Weekly
"…witty, dark love story of death and redemption…Miranda and Zachary are complex, sympathetic characters, and their hopeful ending is well earned."
"Suspenseful, entertaining, and enthusiastically gruesome, Smith's latest will be lapped up by vampire fans."
"The offer of redemption sets this tale apart from others that feed upon the current fascination with vampires and the occult that possesses preteens and teens." Note: at at time when review columns are being trimmed, it's so wonderful to see such thoughtful coverage devoted to YA literature in a daily newspaper.
"Smith has built on centuries of vampire lore to create a spooky, snarky, supernatural world all her own."
"The ending to the love story (because it does become one, though a twisted one) is moving and hopeful in a way you don't expect."
—The Dallas Morning News
"The pace of this entertaining romp is quick and the action plentiful."
—Kirkus Reviews
"…suspenseful and entertaining story… This thirsty reader awaits a refill."
—The Horn Book Magazine

This is related to my question here
Midori is a browser that obeys my GTK2 customizations EXCEPT when it comes to Gmail. There are several parts to this conundrum:
Midori displays scrollbars on the left, with the specified width and arrows together on all sites EXCEPT Gmail. The Gmail look is exactly like the Before screenshot with scrollbars on the right, and the links at the top black and underlined.
Now from within Gmail if I click the "Web" link on the top left, it takes me to the Google search page but with scrollbars on the LEFT. The appearance otherwise is unchanged, with the links at the top black and underlined.
And now for the surprise: If I search by directly typing in the URL bar or by going to
google.com, the UI is like the one in the After screenshot with the scrollbar on the LEFT, top links in blue, the name displayed instead of "email@example.com", the gear-wheel for the options, etc.
From within this search page (with the After look), if I select "Gmail" from the top menu, it takes me back to the Before look, with scrollbars on the right, and the links at the top black and underlined.
So the question is why does this happen? Why doesn't Gmail follow the rules on one browser while it does on another? Why are there two different UIs for the same website on the same browser?

SC Students Go on Christmas Missions Trip
On December 15, 2008, while fellow classmates are setting out for family Christmas celebrations, nine Sterling College students will travel to the Middle East, not only missing Christmas Day with families but also their entire inter-term break. The team will return on January 6, 2009, after spending three weeks on a medical missions trip.
Team member Adam Beutler expresses the mix of emotions that many of the team members are feeling about this trip. "I'm sad because Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I get to spend time at my grandparents' house with all my family. It means a lot to me to be with them. But," Beutler continues, "I can't think of a better reason to miss out on that time."
Karin Lederle, team leader, experienced these feelings for the first time last year, when she spent Christmas break on a missions trip to South Africa. She says, "I didn't really miss America, but I missed family and Christmas atmosphere and decorations, just simple things like that." Still, she came back from South Africa believing that the focus of these trips—to bring hope and help to destitute and needy people—makes any sacrifice worthwhile.
The major mission of this team to the Middle East is to provide medical help. Upon their arrival, team members will train for two days, not only receiving instruction in the Islamic culture of the Middle East and how to adapt to it but also learning how to perform medical procedures, such as measuring blood pressures and body temperatures, administering medicines, and even giving tuberculosis injections. The team will then visit six landfill slum villages (makeshift homes built on local trash heaps) and set up mobile medical missions, providing free diagnosis and treatment to the poorest residents in this major Middle Eastern metropolis.
The medical treatment is a wonderful opportunity for the residents, but is a bit daunting for the team members. Wes Tom, a sophomore and one of three biology majors on the trip, says, "It is an awesome responsibility that we are being given, so we need to take our training seriously. At the same time, I am a pre-med student, and I am so excited to be given the opportunity to practice these techniques!" Though the conditions of the this trip will be demanding, team members are up for the challenge. Leader Karin Lederle sums it up well. "This whole experience is going to be one crazy adventure, but it's going to be fun!"
This will be the first of seven missions trips Sterling College has planned for the 2008-2009 academic year. It is also the second trip carried out in conjunction with Global Infusion, an international, foreign-missions organization based in Louisville, Tennessee.
Senior missions major, David Fuller, of Miltonvale, Kan., is assisting Karin Lederle with leadership on this trip. The other team members are Adam Beutler of Clay Center, Kan.; Sam Downe of Tennessee Colony, Texas; Jessica Frederick of Wichita, Kan.; Whitney Fuller, of Sterling, Kan.; Stacey Rosenberger of Morganhill, Calif.; Rachael Svaty of Ellsworth, Kan.; Addie Swihart of St. Francis, Kan.; Wesley Tom of Omaha, Neb. and Dr. Henry Lederle, Director of Missions at Sterling.

Land snails of Turkey: Discus rotundatus
The first and so far the only published record of the land snail Discus rotundatus in Turkey is from Anadolu Hisari, a 14th century fort on the Asian side of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, where I found it in August 20021. It is certainly an introduced species at least in the Istanbul area.
The native distribution range of D. rotundatus covers western and central Europe. It has also been introduced to other countries, including the U.S.
The shell of D. rotundatus is characterized by a wide umbilicus, prominent ribs and reddish-brown marks. The largest shell I found was 5.4 mm in diameter. (The scale in the picture above is in millimeters.)
The land snail family Discidae, which includes the genus Discus, has native representatives both in Europe and in North America. I will return to the biogeography of the Discidae in a future post.

Despite inhabiting a state with some of the harshest drug laws in the Midwest, a new poll reports that a majority – 52 percent – of Indiana residents support regulating marijuana like alcohol and tobacco. And an overwhelming number of Hoosiers – 78 percent – approve taxing weed like booze and cigarettes. Forty-five percent of those polled were against the concept of regulation, but only a scant 19 percent opposed cannabis taxation.
The study was administered by the Bowen Center for Public Affairs at Ball State University in conjunction with Indianapolis television station WISH-TV. The study surveyed 600 Indiana residents in the month of October. Democrats were more likely to support regulating cannabis (64 percent), while only 49 percent of Republicans were in favor. However, when it came to the issue of taxation, there was no distinguishable difference between the political parties, both were solidly in favor of taxing pot.
The results were similar to last year's poll in which 53 percent of respondents favored decriminalizing small amounts of cannabis.
Presently in Indiana, possession of any amount of cannabis flowers up to 30 grams (essentially an ounce) is a misdemeanor that can land the offender in jail for a year, and over 30 grams is a felony resulting in a sentence of up to three years. Hoosier state laws are even more intolerant regarding hash and pot concentrates, possessing any amount is an automatic felony with a year behind bars.

Mini video game review: 'Shovel Knight' is retro, revolutionary
A couple of weeks back I used this space to preview "Shovel Knight," an indie game for PC, Mac and Linux as well as Nintendo 3DS and Wii U from Yacht Club Games that was funded through Kickstarter. Well, last Thursday the game finally was made available for online purchase — and I was swept up in the 8-bit style like seemingly half the people I follow online.
I was torn between the 3DS and Wii U versions, but ended up getting both, as the charming little throwback has captivated my household.
While "Shovel Knight" mimics the gameplay of classic Nintendo Entertainment System games like "Mega Man," "Castlevania," "DuckTales" and more, it really reinvents the 2-D platformer with many conventions and memorable characters of its own.
If only the Microsoft film crew that dug up New Mexico for old Atari games had gotten in on the act — there's some great synergy there somewhere …
NOTE: The author of this post purchased his own copies of the game.
