A fun new public search site.
Actually, it's been up since February, but still, it's cool. Some people apparently don't think so. In my mind, if this is all public information, the silliest quote comes here in the piece:
"It's a fundamental invasion of privacy because they've put all these records together and give them away for nothing instead of keeping them separate and making people pay to get them."
Um, so if zaba charged money for their service, would it be any less an invasion of privacy? I don't think so. It'd just mean that rich people could snoop on others exclusively. I've never understood why so many people seem to think that public information must be protected. It's self-defeating. Just like the weather companies complaining that the national weather service is, gasp, letting people check the weather for free, if the government has this information and is making it public, isn't that good? I long for the day the IRS allows completely free digital submissions of tax returns for all Americans. Over the web. It'll happen eventually, trust me.
But to get back to the point, go check out zava and find out about the people you want to!
- Recovering from illness? Check.
- Record high temperatures? Check.
- Loss of power over the entire house? Check.
- Another great Tuesday Salon? You bet.
Sometimes minor inconveniences seem to add up, but last night, chilling with friends outside the darkened 'werkz, I realized that with a fully stocked ice pit, almost any obstacle can be overcome. Sure enough, after a lengthy time, the power came back on, the party faithful returned inside, and all was again right with the world.
Well, it's time for another salon. I'll be working hard this time to keep the inside of the house super-cool, so be sure to come on by.
Last night, I caught my first screen-on-the-green this year, "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". A good film all around, and it was fun to see it with Kristen and friends. That cooler is pretty heavy, though...
werkz advice: skip it.
So I finally caught Scorsese's "The Aviator". Not really that good, actually. It wasn't due to bad acting, or an uninteresting topic. It just never took off. Instead, the movie seemed long and dull. Still, better than Gangs, I suppose.
werkz advice: skip it.
So I finally caught Wes Anderson's latest flick "The Life Aquatic". Let me save you the trouble of renting it. Don't. It's not as good as either of Anderson's earlier works. Why? Because it's just not that funny. It's all somewhat campy, in a bad way.
So I upgrade to the latest firefox, 1.0.6 and gmail starts to act funny. This morning, it doesn't even come up at all. After a little hacking, I get it to display the following message:
Our system has detected abnormal usage of your Gmail account. As a result, we have temporarily disabled access to this account.
It will take between one minute and 24 hours for you to regain access, depending on the behavior our system detected.
Nice. So I decide to download the bleeding version of Firefox, Deer Park Alpha 2 and what'dya know? gmail is now working again.
Say what you will about Russ Potts, the Republican-turned-Independent from my hometown, but he's dead right on policy issues. It's kind of sad to think that he couldn't win the GOP primary...although if he had, this race would be worse, because both candidates would agree about the important issues and disagree about less important issues, like gay adoption. Instead, Kaine and Potts can continue to bash Kilgore's idiotic fiscal ideas, and focus on Virginia's true needs: a stable tax base and a plan to solve our transportation woes.
The most idiotic thing, in my mind, of the entire Brazilian Terrorist Fiasco, is that the British policy is simply, "if there's a possible terrorist, we shoot to kill". Why? Because they think, oddly, that if they attempt to incapacitate, that the terrorist will be able to still set off the bomb.
So, in other words, they assume terrorists are sophisticated enough to setup a handheld button that would trigger the bomb, but not sophisticated enough to fashion a dead man's switch in case they were shot. I am constantly amazed that we continue to think of the terrorists as tech-savvy, but in this instance, we not only think that they're smart enough to be able to set off a bomb while their legs have been blown away, but that they're not smart enough to create a simple device for exactly this situation. I mean, come on, it involves a spring. Not much more. It's certainly not rocket science.
Besides the obvious idiocy, there's the secondary one as well: why shoot a terrorist subject in the head if you're trying to roll up cells? How are you going to interrogate a prisoner if he has five bullets in his head? All citizens, of all nationalities, need to think about what these bombings are turning our police squads into...
After a fourteen-inning loss to the Astros, I was feeling tired and in need of a pick-me-up. Fortunately, a few hours later, I was in Murasaki, enjoying some tasty sushi with Brad, Fincher and friends. The topic somehow came up about one's preference for Asian food. Hence, here's my list:
- Japanese
- Chinese
- Thai
- Malaysian
- Indian
- Vietnamese
Of course, if "Mongolian Barbeque" counts as Mongolian cuisine, it'd easily dethrone Japan to become the Khan of all Asian food. Since I've never had authentic Mongolian food, however, I'll demur. And this list is very spontaneous. For instance, I'm sure, on the whole, that there are many more dishes from India that I enjoy than dishes from Thailand. But my favorite Thai dishes easily trump my favorite Indian dishes, so they get a higher ranking. If a place isn't listed, it's because I've never had their food. (Take that, Korea!) Or it's because the country in question is too far West to be included, like Afghanistan.
And, let it be said, I probably prefer the "Americanized" versions of all of the food above. I've never understood why people place such a value on the "authentic" when it comes to cuisine. This is not to demean the cultural differences between cuisines (Mexican versus Tex-Mex, for instance) but to merely say that if some guy traveled thousands of miles to setup a restaurant in my neighborhood that serves food from his home country, (Like these guys ) I'm less concerned with whether the food tastes "authentic" and more concerned with whether it tastes "good". Around the world, dishes are being prepared in family kitchens that taste great and don't cost a fortune. I like finding places that serve the best taste experience for your dollar. And if that means mixing up the recipe a bit for American palates, so be it.
An interesting article. One of the key graphs:
Andrew Laurence, an advocate for the Ethiopian arts, makes a point of highlighting the shared history of American blacks and Ethiopians when he makes appeals for the designation. He also likes to say that many African Americans have moved from the District in recent decades. "They ran out to Prince George's County; they left it for 30 years," he said. "Now other people are coming in, and they want to reclaim it."
Deairich "Dee" Hunter, chairman of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission that encompasses Shaw, responded that many African Americans remain in the neighborhood, even as newcomers transform its character. "It's being revitalized and gentrified, and the people in the forefront are not the Ethiopian community," he said. "The reality is that it's predominantly whites and gays, but you don't hear these populations asking to change the name."
I'm often tired of friends from other cities coming to visit and wishing to eat Ethiopian food. It's nice (if you order the right dishes) but DC has so many Ethiopian food places that it quickly loses its novelty. As for renaming 9th Street, I think that the lousiest argument for such a change would be that African-Americans have left the district. Um? Really? Last time I checked DC was still a majority Black city.
And although I think revitalization of 9th Street is good, I don't think renaming it "Little Ethiopia" would be any more constructive than naming 14th Street "Little Yuppieville". Much like 14th, the neighborhoods surrounding 9th are not composed of the same mixture of people who frequent the stores around said area. If 9th Street neighborhoods, like those near the 'werkz, were full of Ethiopian families, it would makes sense. Otherwise, it just seems like a silly marketing campaign. And for what? So that tourists can figure out where to go for Ethiopian food? As I said earlier, that's not a problem in D.C. Putting "Little Ethiopia" in a street that's one block from Howard and right next to U Street seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
This looks bad.
See, it's one of those things that at the time, if Gonzalez was innocent, I could see him messing up. (Why the hell would he call Andy Card if he was innocent, though?) But in the current context, it's inexcusable. Giving people time to destroy evidence is criminal. Especially if your the White House Counsel.
Does this image want to make you buy a jeep? Certainly not, right? It looks like some guy's giant head is going to eat Jason Alexander...
I'm sure I'm missing some amusing commercial that explains it, but an advertisement in a newspaper should perhaps stand on its own. This one doesn't. And besides, doesn't giving regular people the "employee discount" just another way of saying "we're screwing our employees"? Way to go, GM.
I don't get sick very often. And I mention it far less than it actually happens, because I think saying "I'm sick" is a form of weakness.
With that said, I've been sick the past two days, and it has not been fun. Hence the light posting.
Today, let me just point out one quick editorial from The New Republic. Every time I start to despair that TNR is slipping into Andrew Sullivan/Marty Peretz/crazytalk, they come out with something that brilliantly summarizes the progressive point of view on something. This editorial is just that piece.
Even the words are nuanced. Instead of saying, as the WaPo did, that Wilson's post trip activities were somehow misguided (as Wilson himself pointed out, why would he go to work for the Bush campaign, considering that they had outed his wife?), the NR merely suggests he made himself an easier target. That's the correct terminology, because in the end, Wilson has been pretty consistently proved right in each detail.
At the end of the day, Americans need to ask themselves: if the administration lied to get us to go to war, should they be trusted to govern? The answer is, of course, no.

Birmingham is England's second largest city and is located in almost the exact middle of the country. It is home to two football clubs (Aston Villa and Birmingham City), six universities, and a host of cultural institutions. It is a very historical city as humans have been living in the immediate area since 1700BC and has plenty of restaurants and activities to keep anyone entertained.
There are quite a few things to do for free in Birmingham, including visiting some of it's top sites. If the weather is nice, strolling along the canal is a nice way to familiarize yourself with the layout of the city. Along the canal is the BBC Birmingham's Public Space. Visitors can see into the studios and try news and weather reporting for themselves. Entrance is free and open 7 days a week.
If you are in Birmingham on a weekend, check out the free events at the Town Hall and Symphony Hall. Most Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights are schedule to some form of musical event that is free to the public. The Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum isn't free, but is great for visitors of all ages who are sure to learn a thing or two.
Feeling peckish? Try Bodega restaurant on Bennetts Hill near the Town Hall. Bodega specializes in South American food from Brazil to Peru, Columbia to Argentina. The food is excellent, with the freshest ingredients and spices that taste as if they were picked earlier that day. They also have vegan and gluten free menus as well as specialty drinks and imported beers.
Birmingham isn't known as a tourist destination, but you have the ability (as with anywhere else) to make it what you want it.

Elizabeth vs Isabella & nicknames
My husband and I are trying to choose a name for our daughter. We both love both the names...although I am leaning toward Elizabeth and he leans toward Isabella. What I love about Elizabeth is that it's so classic and timeless. It can sound Victorian or very modern also.....it's biblical and literary. I also love Isabella. It is also classic, romantic, Victorian and has so much history behind! Just a beautiful name..really both are and that's our problem! Hubby likes Isabella nn Izzy. I like Elizabeth but I don't need a nickname. He would want the nn Lizzy. I would like to know what your opinions are between the two. Yes, I know that Isabella is very popular....putting aside, I'm asking just about the name itself, not it's "trendiness". Also, I am not a huge fan of the nicknames Izzy or Lizzy....do you have any suggestions? For Elizabeth I like Beth, Bethy, Ella, Liza, Lilly and Birdie...Isabella is harder. Bells/Bella is ok but Izzy seems more natural. I like Ella as a nn, would that work? Ugh, decisions... Thanks for all your input! I appreciate it!

Isabella is very overused, or maybe it is just far too popular for my taste. I think it is a very pretty name if I look at it objectively, but its popularity spike scared me away. However, if it is your only choice:
Isabella Nicknames:
Izzie, Sally, Elle, Ella, Ellie, Belle, Bella, Bizzie, Bessie
I prefer Elizabeth/Elisabeth over Isabella for more than one reason. Although it is popular, it is not as popular as Isabella. There seem to be even more nn options for Elizabeth than Isabella. Elizabeth is classically beautiful without the concern of trends.
Nicknames for Elisabeth(z?)
Elle, Ellie, Ella
Eliza, Elsie, Etta, Essie, Eliet (elliott)
Liz, Lizzie, Lizza or Liza, Elise, Libby, Libba
Abbie, Lisa, Seth, Lissa, Beth, Betsie, Bettie, Blythe
Ellis, Elisa, Bizzy and probably a dozen more I don't know of...

I adore Elizabeth, but I cannot stand Isabella. There isn't anything wrong with it, it just doesn't win any points with me.
I know Isabella is an old name, but it's so uber-popular right now, that I think it will date on Isabellas born today.
Elizabeth however, is a timeless classic, and won't date.
Therefore, it won't surprise you to learn, Elizabeth wins this one hands down for me. (Plus it has the better nickname options).♥ Margaret Mary ♥

Popularity completely aside, I much prefer Elizabeth. It's funny, because the two names are similar in style and feel as well as sound (vowel, zuh, and the "be" in beth and bella. Elizabeth somehow seems a more well-rounded name to me, and I have always been partial to "el" names (so pretty) as well as the name Beth. I think it is more capable of being grown-up/serious or girly/fun, whereas Isabella stays more girly to me, although it is certainly a lovely name as well. I probably prefer Isabel.
I really love Izzy as a nickname for Isabella, because it is a popular name, and most of the Isabella's on the playground end up being Bella's. izzy is spunkier and more unique. I think Ella would definitely work as a nickname as well.
My favorite nicknames for Elizabeth are Ellie and Beth. Beth is so so so sweet and classic, and Ellie is kinda fun and spunky. I don't care for Lizzy very much at all, but that's just me-I never have liked it. Liza and Lilly are just ok. Birdie is absolutely adorable, but doesn't seem wearable for an older girl (middle or high school), but then again, that what her full would name is for! Haha. There's also Libby and Elsie, which are very vintage cute.Catherine Zelie | Jude Francis

This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.
This policy paper proposes creation of a permanent, independent executive-branch agency that would make regular recommendations to the president and Congress for adjusting employment-based immigration levels.The Standing Commission concept, first articulated by the MPI-convened Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future in its 2006 final report, would provide timely, evidence-based and impartial analysis that is vital for informed policymaking. The bipartisan Standing Commission would be staffed by a professional corps of career economists, demographers and other social scientists.
This paper intends to provide a baseline of evidence for policymakers seeking to calibrate their immigration policy responses to the economic downturn, with a focus on the UK.
Public opinion supports the view that immigrants take natives' jobs and reduce their wages, but most economists disagree. Although basic laws of supply and demand suggest that immigration could reduce wages by increasing the supply of workers, in reality the actual impact of immigration is likely to be small, especially in the long run.
This short briefing paper explores the potential effects of the economic crisis with respect to immigration across European Union Member States, and outlines how policymakers might respond to changing patterns of migrant inflows and outflows, and the consequences of the downturn on immigrants and their host communities.
This brief offers an analysis of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, the Philippines' highly successful system of managing the overseas employment of temporary Filipino workers. The report examines the structure and mechanism of the system, identifies key areas of improvement, and offers policy recommendations for addressing existing flaws.
This report examines the advantages and disadvantages of two fundamentally different approaches to economic migrant selection—demand driven and employer led systems and human-capital-accumulation focused and government led systems, best illustrated by "points systems," which apportion numerical values to desirable human-capital characteristics.
A look at Mexico's slowing population growth, which, coupled with economic developments and changes in U.S. immigration policy (including stricter border control), has resulted in a slight slowdown in Mexican immigration to the United States relative to the 1995 to 2000 period.

Sony unveils the Playstation Vita handheld at E3
3D Playstation display and more games with Move support coming
INSECURE GAMES HOUSE Sony took the lid off its Playstation Vita handheld console at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last night.
Sony's ability to hang on to its own roadmaps seems to be on a par with its ability to stop hackers from breaking into its networked media services. Every dark corner of the internet knew that Sony would introduce a new handheld gaming device at E3 and change the name from the Next Generation Portable to the Playstation Vita, which means 'life' in Latin. But Sony followed up with details about specifications and features and announced some of its flagship 3D game titles that will be coming out soon.
Sony VP of marketing Scott Steinberg blogged the full details of the Playstation Vita, which will have a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU, the SGX543MP4+ GPU chip, a 5in OLED capacitive multi-touch screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and 960x544 display resolution. Sony is refitting the two analogue sticks so they're easier to use than those on the Playstation Portable and the Playstation Vita will get six-axis motion sensing, two built cameras and a built in GPS.
As you probably already know, the Playstation Vita has near Playstation 3 graphics capabilities and Sony is hawking it as a social gaming device. That means it has a lot of connectivity through 3G, all wireless standards and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR.
The 3G Playstation Vita will be marketed exclusively on AT&T in the US for $299 (£181) and the wireless version will cost $249 (£151). No UK pricing or availability date has been set yet.
It will feature a line of game titles including Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Little Big Planet and Ruin. These games are designed to use the new back facing multi-touch screen of the Playstation Vita.
Sony has gone for 3D games in a big way. CEO and president Jack Tretton said the company will release a Playstation branded 24in display that will come with Sony's own 3D glasses and an HDMI cable, and will be bundled with Resistance 3.
The Japanese electronics and entertainment giant also made some effort to make it sound like its Move controllers are in the same league as Microsoft's record breaking Kinect technology. Sony announced that games including Bioshock Infinite Battlefield 3, Dust, Need for Speed: The Run, Saint's Row: The Third, and SSX: Deadly Descents will all support Move. µ

Mama Joyce wants to make one thing clear - she doesn't need money from her daughter, Kandi Burruss. In an interview with OK! magazine, posted on Friday, Jan. 17, Joyce denied speculation that she's harsh on her daughter's fiance, Todd Tucker, only because she's scared of losing her meal ticket.
Joyce has been blasted on forums for being so opposed to her daughter's relationship with Todd. Many viewers of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" believe that her behavior stems from her fear that once Kandi has a man in her life, she'll stop providing for her mom.
Joyce, who has finally decided to not get involved when it comes to Todd, said that she doesn't need her daughter to take care of her.
"My daughter doesn't take care of me and that's what really got to me the day that Cynthia (Bailey) and Sandra Bernhard were on ('Watch What Happens Live') and said, "Well how does Kandi's mother make it?." Cynthia said, "I think Kandi takes care of her." Cynthia knows Kandi doesn't take care of me. I've been on retirement and I have rental property and I've taken care of myself all my life," she said.
She added that she has bonds that she purchased with insurance money a long time ago.
Despite many viewers of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" telling her to cut off ties with her mom, Kandi has spoken up to defend her mother. She has said that she would never cut her mom out of her life.
"Everyone says stand up to your mama and blah, blah, blah, but believe it or not I do speak my mind to my mother...So to everyone who is screaming at me through the TV screen to "do something about my mom," I'm not sure exactly what you expect me to do...I don't believe in cutting off your relationship with your mom," she wrote in a Bravo blog entry.
Considering that Kandi doesn't believe in cutting ties with her mom and her relationship with Todd seems to be the real deal, it's a good thing that Mama Joyce has finally agreed to butt out of the relationship!
Do you believe that Kandi Burruss will find her happiness ever after?

I have a large LigPrep job distributed over several CPUs and subjobs, which seems to hang. How can I get the results for the prepared ligands that have been processed so far?
In Maestro, open the Monitor jobs panel via Applications → Monitor Jobs. If the job is not displayed, choose Show Jobs: Active Jobs only. If you see the LigPrep jobs, select only the subjobs and kill them. Now the main LigPrep job will collect the results and end itself as well. In the log file of the main job you will see the name of the file that contains the results.

In 2005, the American Cancer Society and the CEO Roundtable on Cancer, Inc. jointly sponsored the CEO Cancer Gold Standard, an initiative "to define what organizations can do to prevent cancer, to detect it early, and to ensure access to the best available treatment for those who are diagnosed with cancer. (see http://www.cancergoldstandard.org/index.html) The ACS partner in the joint project, the CEO Roundtable on Cancer, Inc., was founded in 2001 by Robert A. Ingram, former chair of GlaxoSmithKline. It 2005 it was chaired by William C. Weldon, CEO of Johnson & Johnson. The ACS- and drug company-backed CEO Cancer Gold Standard program received an endorsement from Andrew von Eschenbach while he was interim head of the Food and Drug Administration. (Paul Goldberg, "Von Eschenbach Role in Industry Program Raises New Questions of Conflict of Interest," The Cancer Letter, Nov. 23, 2005)
According to a story in the Sacramento News & Review, the Cosmetics, Toiletries and Fragrances Association (CTFA) gives $10 million annually to the American Cancer Society's "Look Good, Feel Better" makeup program for cancer patients. ACS refused to support a 2005 California bill requiring labeling of all toxic chemicals in cosmetics, claiming the science did not support the measure. (11/9/2005)
According to Advertising Age, the ACS was involved in a deal with General Mills to include information on packages of Wheaties (1/17/00; p. 54).
According to a story in the New York Times, "The American Cancer Society ... has endorsed Florida orange juice." (8/13/97). See also World Tonight News With Peter Jennings (8/13/97); The Osgood File, CBS News (8/13/97). An editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine stated: "And why should the American Cancer Society endorse only SmithKline Beecham's antismoking products?" Jerome P.

I have a workstation that was given to me that is a friggen powerhouse, so I figured I would set it up as my development and demo server. This is my first experience installing Ubuntu onto a RAID array and so far it has not been a fun one. I have been following the Advanced Installation guide for installing Ubuntu 10.04 server, and it says that there will be an option on the Partition Disks screen to manually create the partitions, but the only options I have are:
- Configure iSCSI volumes
- Undo changes to partitions
- Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
Just before I got to that screen I got a message that said:
One or more drives containing Serial ATA RAID configurations have been found. Do you wish to activate these RAID devices?
It doesn't matter whether I answer yes or no to that, I still get the same Partition Disks screen. When I try to select
Finish partitioning and write changes to disk I just get the
No root file system error.
Has anyone else experienced this, and how do I get past it? Can I not run Ubuntu on this machine?

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - The county's fight to aid in tearing down dilapidated properties and building up the area has made progress and major work should begin in a matter of months.
The Ohio Housing Finance Agency has announced that the Belmont County Land Reutilization Corporation has been awarded funding totalling $500,000.
Ginny Favede, commissioner and LRC board member, said county officials took action to form a land bank when they learned funds were available to put toward demolition projects.
"The county moved very swiftly once we were notified," she said, adding that the process was completed within a few months, in time to get the application in.
"It shows our full commitment," she said. "We are thrilled and eager to get to work."
The first properties targeted are along the riverfront in the communities of Martins Ferry, Bridgeport and Bellaire. Favede said they have worked with Auditor Andrew Sutak, who provided 100 likely homes.
During the board's next meeting they will discuss acquiring properties and seeking out companies to demolish them. The first home could be taken down in 45-90 days.
She praised the three communities for their proactive work in having the paperwork ready. The goal is both to remove a health and safety risk and to provide properties that can be sold to taxpayers who will benefit the area. Profits from the sales could be used for commercial demolition to facilitate economic development.
Favede also thanked State Rep. Jack Cera for his assistance in alerting them about the availability of funds and the need for a land bank. She said it was exemplary of a healthy relationship between state and local government.
Favede added that they had some experience with similar operations when working with the Move Ohio Forward program.
"It'll grow very quickly," she said.
Commissioner Mark Thomas thanked Favede for taking the lead in this effort.
"It was a project that moved as fast as I've ever seen government move," he said, adding that he also credited Sutak and Treasurer Kathy Kelich for their work.
He noted the advantage of being able to use the funds countywide to both beautify the city and turn negative properties into productive ones.
"It is desperately needed among local government," he said. "It's a very positive day for Belmont County."
"This is a great program for Belmont County." said Matt Coffland, commissioner and board member. "We're looking forward to moving along."

262 Specifications
Conceived on a Friday afternoon, brought about by boatbuilders who really, really like what they do, the 262 is a hoot. And it's all intentional.
First, you must know that you have room here for fifteen, only a couple of whom must behave themselves. The 262's layout creates open, flowing movement from the side walk-thru astern throughout the interior and its show-stopping good looks, over-sized storage molded into the cockpit. Attractions astern involve most of all a gigantic L-lounge and a beach of a sunpad. The appeals to the senses are subtle but pervasive, from the miracle sheen of the gelcoat to Corian in the head compartment, from the automotive luxury of the upholstery to the broadcast quality of the stereo system.
At cruise the 262 is at once authoritative, nimble, and quick, with you in firm, obvious command at a no-nonsense helm with all instrumentation right there, the turns tight and aggressive, the wake appropriate to the athletic activity out behind.
Again this weekend you'll find cool waters, warm sunshine, a gentle breeze, and a boat that will encourage . . . no, demand . . . that the good times roll.

With Márcio Local Says, "Don Day Don Dree Don Don": Adventures In Samba Soul (out now on Luaka Bop), he stands at the crossroads of two great traditions in modern Brazilian music: one foot in samba (the heavily percussive Afro-Brazilian dance music that took its modern form in the early twentieth century) and the other in soul.
Márcio collaborated with producer Mario Caldato, as well as Armando Pittigliani who worked with Jorge Ben at the beginning of his career in the 1960s. The sound of Wilson Simonal, known in the late 1960s as the 'rei do pilantragem'- the king of hustlers, permeates throughout the album. Pilantragem was a playful style of soul samba, bolstered by a fat horn section, often involving risqué double entendre and flirtatious boasting. Márcio revives this sound in songs like "Ela não tá nem aí" (She pays no mind) and one of his local hits, "Happy Endings." His tunes are also populated by street savvy, triumphant soccer stars, fantastically talented dancers, and elegant black women– as in "Preta Luxo" (Black Lady Luxury).
Many of the reports from Rio today speak of narco-gang warfare, police repression, and the general dissolution of the social fabric, but Márcio's songs constantly reminds us that Rio is also a place of beauty, revelry, and hope.

When a screen has multiple interacting Ajax controls and you want to control the visibility of components to react to these controls (so that you only display what makes sense in any given situation), calling
target.addComponent() manually on everything you want to update is getting cumbersome and isn't very maintainable.
Eventually the web of
onClick and
onUpdate callbacks can reach a point where adding a new component to the screen is getting much harder than it's supposed to be.
What are the commonly used strategies (or even libraries if such a thing exists) to avoid this build-up of complexity?
Update: Thank you for your answers, I found all of them very useful, but I can only accept one. Sorry.

Nokia Lumia 920T won't start shipping at China Mobile until next year. Unannounced Lumia 825 shows up
Initially expected to be released in China before the end of the year, the Nokia Lumia 920T will only start shipping in January 2013.
China Mobile, which is the exclusive carrier for the 920T, is already taking pre-orders for the smartphone (which costs 4599 yuan – around $737). But if you look at the bottom of the pre-order page (here), you'll see a note that reads: "The product will gradually arrive after January 1, 2013."
As previously reported, the Lumia 920T is just a Lumia 920 with TD-SCDMA connectivity and better graphics. So it has the same 4.5 inch PureMotion HD+ display, and the same 8.7MP PureView rear camera that you can find on the regular 920 (which, by the way, will be also sold in China – unlocked).
Meanwhile, an unannounced Nokia Windows Phone 8 handset has been spotted in China: the Lumia 825, pictured below. As its name suggest, this is a slightly different version of the Lumia 820.
According to Dospy (via WM PowerUser), the Lumia 825 comes with a 4.3 inch WVGA PureMotion display, and 16GB of internal memory – instead of the 4.3 inch WVGA ClearBlack display, and 8GB of internal memory of the Lumia 820). The 825 should become available in China starting February next year. We'll bring more details as soon as we get them.

Building a World for a Novel – Part 23
New to this project: Start with Part 1
Part 23: What Makes Your People Tick?
Once more I turn to writer and public speaker Kate Evans for the quote, "Character is built on desire, plot is built on obstacles".
As you build your world and its peoples, you will want to think about what drives them. Are your new people gregarious? Are they loners? Do they marry? Do they couple only to increase their population? For that matter, is increasing the population even on their list of things to do? Are they religious? Do they follow strict traditions? Are they adventurers? Inventors? Are they land-hungry conquerors?
Knowing the cultural history of your people will make a big difference when it comes to having them make decisions. A person's actions are typically driven by choices they have made in the past. Will that be true with your new people?
Will the choices they make be logical, or a transparent attempt on the part of the writer to espouse a cause? For example, will your people hesitate to burn forests or buildings because they fear that one day their skies will become polluted? Or do they look for clean-burning fuels to propitiate a sharp-eyed god? It is all too easy to allow our own agendas to seep through into our made-up world, but unless you are aiming for allegory, you may want to review the notion. Instead, focus on what would be important to your new worlders, and why.
What drives your people? What do they want? Expansion? Wealth? A closer walk with their god?
What obstructs your people? Neighboring, and hostile tribes? Man-eating monsters? A harsh climate or diminishing food supplies?
Knowing the answers to these questions before you start telling your story will make your story believable, powerful and compelling.
Continued in Part 24

The San Jose Sharks lost the last time they visited the Calgary Flames. The pictured keys can ensure that is the only blemish head-to-head against the once-again Pacific Division rivals on Monday, March 24.
Since the loss Jan. 30, the Sharks are 12-3-2. They have since gotten Logan Couture, Adam Burish, Marty Havlat and Tyler Kennedy back but lost Brad Stuart. With the roster's return to health, they have scored 46 goals in 13 games. However, a win by the Anaheim Ducks gave the 2013 Pacific Division champions a better point percentage as well as the first tiebreak.
Since the trade deadline, the Flames seem more confident offensively. They have gone 4-2-0 and scored 28 goals not including their shootout winner. If they lose and the Pacific Division rival Phoenix Coyotes win Monday, they will be just five points from being eliminated from the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Over the entire 2013-14 NHL season, Calgary scores 2.48 goals on 26.8 shots per game and allows 2.92 on 28, with a 15.4 percent power play and 81.7 penalty kill, compiling a 16-17-3 home record. San Jose scores 2.93 goals on 34.9 shots and allows 2.32 on 27.7, with a 16.0 percent power play and 84.7 percent penalty kill, compiling a 20-13-3 road record.
A win will move the Sharks back to the best record in the Pacific Division for home-ice advantage until the Western Conference finals and clinch a berth in the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs. Even with a loss, they make the postseason with a loss by either the Coyotes or Dallas Stars.
Look for San Jose to fight for an early lead to enable rolling four lines, saving a little for the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday. Look for Calgary to force the competition late enough to keep the benches are short in the third period before losing, 4-2 thanks to an empty-net goal.
Time on attack
The San Jose Sharks should have the puck more in this game. They have won 279 more faceoffs than they have lost and are almost as good at taking the puck as giving it, resulting in 94 extra possessions so far in the 2013-14 NHL season.
The Calgary Flames are the worst faceoff team in the NHL, losing 315 more than they have won. They are almost as bad at giving the puck away as the Sharks and not as good at taking it, costing them 463 possession so far in the 2013-14 NHL season.
That means almost eight extra possessions for San Jose. Those possessions must be spent on the attack—in the offensive zone and sending the puck toward the net—to matter.
Seeing-eye shots
The San Jose Sharks and Calgary Flames are both in the top three in the NHL in blocked shots and shots allowed per block. Both will block one of every three to four attempts in this game.
The team that wins will be the one able to get the most rubber actually on net, not the one getting the best-quality shots. The blue lines need to look to fire quickly rather than try for the better shot, fire wide rather than right at a defender hoping it will get through and dump low when neither is there. The one that does this better wins.
In your face
Shot-blocking teams tend to force their goalies to work through more traffic. The San Jose Sharks have enabled many opposing goalies to have high save percentages because their otherwise-ample attack lacked traffic in front of the net.
San Jose must bring bodies screening the goalie. Sticks reaching in for deflections are not reliable enough for scoring by themselves to warrant not making traffic a focus from the start rather than just when the team gets desperate in the third period.

At the Adobe MAX 2011 conference in Los Angeles this week, Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney demonstrated the Unreal Engine 3 running in fully inside Flash as part of his keynote address. The live technical demonstration saw a version of Unreal Tournament 3 running in Adobe Flash Player 11, which was also released this week. Adobe says the development could lead to console-quality 3D graphics in games running directly in the browser, such as Facebook social games. Read More
In April 2010, Steve Jobs' outlined why Flash would not be permitted on iOS devices in his "Thoughts on Flash" open letter. While Jobs made some valid points in terms of Flash's proprietary nature, security concerns, and the fact it drains the batteries of mobile devices, the popularity of the Skyfire 2.0 mobile web browser and standalone VideoQ Flash video player showed that there were still plenty of iOS users keen to Flash video on their mobile devices. Now Adobe has finally come to the party with its own solution that will allow Flash video content to be viewed directly within Safari on iOS devices. Because Adobe will use a similar technique to that of Skyfire, users of Android and Playbook mobile devices will also benefit in terms of battery life.Read More
Pretty much since it was announced HTML5 has been touted by many pundits as signaling the death of Adobe's Flash. Whether or not that eventuates, only time will tell but a tool being developed by Adobe codenamed Edge is only likely to fan the flames for those predicting Flash's demise. Still only in prototype form, Edge is an HTML5 animation tool that makes it easy for web developers and designers to create animations and transitions without having to slug through line after line of HTML5 code.Read More
Apple has caused a lot of confusion for iPhone app developers by banning them from creating apps using any compiler not created by Apple, but then approving apps that break this rule – even going so far as to promote them in the App Store. Finally it looks like Apple has seen the light (and presumably the benefits) and announced that it has relaxed restrictions on its iOS developer license, opening the doors to native Flash and AdMob applications – as long as the resulting apps do not download any code.Read More

When we took a look at Adobe Creative Suite 5 before its launch, the new features and improvements to InDesign definitely made us sit up and take notice. Adobe really only made a big thing of its improvements to interactivity and the fact it's now able to export directly to SWF format for playback in the Adobe Flash Player. However, when we started digging deeper and played with the less publicized additions, we realized what a gem this upgrade really is. Read More

Apple yesterday released information about the upcoming revision to its iPhone operating system - iPhone OS 4.0, which is due for release in June. It offers major enhancements like multitasking, the iBooks eBook reader app, a centralized gaming service, performance and battery life improvements. But while the new software will be a boon for iPhone 3GS and iPad owners, as well as buyers of the next-gen iPhone HD expected to debut sometime this year, it seems that iPhone 2G, 3G and older iPod Touch owners might be left behind on the upgrade trail. Oh - and the new developer kit contains another nasty surprise for Adobe.Read More
The official announcement of the much anticipated Adobe Creative Suite 5 has just hit the airwaves ahead of a global online launch event taking place just hours from now.

Student Science Experiments
All of the experiments must be done in the presence of a parent or teacher.
Experiment 6: It's Chemical!
When two substances react together, they can form new chemicals or products. In this chemical reaction, the vinegar and baking soda react and create carbon dioxide.It is these bubbles of gas that inflate the balloon.
- A small, strong plastic bottle (20oz. soda bottle)
- A medium-sized round balloon
- Vinegar
- Baking soda
- A funnel
- Pour vinegar into the small bottle until it is about half an inch deep.
- Using a funnel, pour two teaspoons of baking soda into the neck of a balloon.
- Stretch the neck of the balloon over the neck of the bottle, being careful not to let the baking soda out of the balloon.
- Now lift the balloon so that the baking soda runs into the vinegar. Shake the bottle. What happens?

THE Ordinary of NEWGATE HIS ACCOUNT OF The Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Speeches of the Malefactors that were Executed at Tyburn, on Wednesday the 22d of September, 1714.
AT the General Sessions held at Justice-Hall in the Old-bailey, on Wednesday the 8th, Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and Saturday the 11th of September 1714, Ten Persons, viz. Eight Men and Two Women, that were Try'd for, and brought in Guilty of diverse Captital Crimes, did accordingly receive Sentence of Death. But of these Ten Persons, One of the Women being found Pregnant, and Two of the Men having obtain'd a gracious Reprieve (which it highly imports them duly to improve) the rest are now order'd for Execution.
While they were under this twofold melancholy State of Guilt and Condemnation, I constantly visited them, and had them, twice every day (save one Afternoon) brought up to the Chapel of Newgate, where I pray'd with them, read and expounded the Word of GOD to them giving them out of it such Instructions and Animadversions as were proper for them, in order to their making a due Preparation for their approaching Death and Judgment, that by a lively Faith and sincere Repentance, wrought in them by the Divine Spirit, and their devout Attention to that Sacred Word, they might obtain Mercy, Pardon, and Salvation, thro' Jesus Christ, the Redeeemer of all them that truly Believe and Repent.
On the Lord's Day, the 12th instant, I preach'd to them, both in the Morning and Afternoon, upon these WORDS of GOD, Exod. XX. 13. Thou shalt not kill.
Which Words I chose to discourse upon, because of two Murderers that were then under Condemnation; And having first explain'd them in general, I then spoke to these distinct Points, arising from them, in particular.
I. The Heinous Nature of the Sin of Murder, with some of the most common Gradations leading to it, and the dismal Effects attending it.
II. The Severe Punishment due to it, which in this World is unpardonable, as the Offence is irreparable.
III. and lastly, The High Degree of Penitence, the Person guilty of such a High Crime, ought to endeavour to stir up himself to; crying bitterly with David in the 51st Psalm, at the 14th Verse; Deliver me from Bloodguiltiness, O God!
These were the Points I largely treated of, on that Lord's Day.
And on the next Lord's Day, which follow'd, i. e. the 19th instant, I preach'd to them, viz.
In the Morning, upon Eccl. XI. the latter part of the 9th Verse; the Words being these - But know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into Judgment.
From which Words I shew'd these Five Things, viz.
I. That there is a Judgment to come.
II. That every Man shall be brought to that Judgment; which will be very strict and very severe against Obstinate and Impenitent Sinners.
III. That it is GOD, the great Judge of all the World, who will bring Men to Judgment.
IV. That the Matter of that Judgment, will be the Ways of Men's Hearts: Which implies their Thoughts, Words, and Actions.
V. and lastly, That all this is most certain and evident from this positive Expression in the Text, Know thou: For here we may observe, Solomon does not say, Thou mayst Think; or, Thou mayst Suppose, or Believe; but KNOW; Know thou, that for all these Things [i. e. for thy evil Thoughts, wicked Words, and sinful Actions] GOD will bring thee into Judgment.
In the Afternoon I preach'd upon Eccles. ix. 10. Whatsoever thy Hand findeth to do, do it with all thy Might; for there is no Work, nor Knowledge, nor Wisdom in the Grave, whither thou goest.
Here I shew'd, That the Argument us'd by Solomon in the Text, to perswade Men not to slip, but presently take hold of the Opportunity they have in this Life to prepare for the next, in performing whatever they ought to do before they die, is this; That after Death there is nothing to be done that can any ways be available to their Good.
To enforce this Truth, and press and inculcate it upon my Auditory, I did, with the wisest of Kings in this Book of Ecclesiastes, desire them seriously to reflect upon the Vanity of this present Life; and herein consider,
I. The Shortness of it, and the Troubles attending it.
II. The Eternity which is to follow. And,
III. and lastly, The Great Work we have to do, before our short time in this World be expir'd, in order to our avoiding the Misery, and obtaining the Happiness of the World to come.
Having enlarg'd upon all these Heads, I concluded both my Mornings and Afternoons Discourses with particular Exhortations and Admonitions to the Persons under Condemnation, whom I earnestly advis'd, and press'd by proper Arguments, seriously to consider of, and prepare for, their approaching great Change.
And this was the great Subject I mostly treated of, and daily entertain'd them with, that I might (if possible) make them fit for a better
Life, who had miserably forfeited the Privilege of continuing longer in this.
In my private Examinations of them, they gave me the respective Accounts of themselves, which (with my own particular Observations of them, and occasional Advice to them) do here follow, viz.
I. James Neale, alias John Cobb, Condemn'd for Counterfeiting the current Coin of this Kingdom. He said, he was 28 Years of age, born in Northamptonshire, at a Place call'd Helmedon, near Oxford; and, That he had liv'd above 12 Years in and about London, where he learnt (and that chiefly by Books) and practised the Art of Chymistry ; in which he had made some useful Discovery, but for want of Money and Credit, he could not carry it on. And being thus under great Straits, he was, by some Persons he became acquainted with, who us'd to put off false Money, easily perswaded to try his Skill upon Coining, promising, that they would assist him therein, which they did; but he said, he had not practis'd it above 20 months; and now was very sensible of the Heinousness of his Crime, considering (which he did not before) the Universality of the Mischief occasion'd by it. He said, that (this Crime excepted) he could not charge himself with any other Sins than were common to Human Frailty; which he nevertheless very much bewail'd, and earnestly begg'd Pardon for; as he did in a special manner for this publick Injury he had committed; adding, That his Design was, to have quitted this wicked Trade, and return'd to an honest way of living, after he had gotten a little Money, whereby he might have set himself at work on what was lawful, either in Chymistry or Watch-making , to which latter he was brought up.
2. John Hull, alias Barker, which latter was his right Name, as being his own Father's, and the other his Father-in-Law's, by which he was often call'd: And this, he said, was the reason he had two Names. He was condemn'd with the aforesaid James Neale, for Counterfeiting the current Coin of this Kingdom; which (as he told me) his Poverty (together with the Perswasion of others) had brought him to the commission of. He said, he was 42 Years of age, born at Colchester in Essex, where he serv'd an Apprentiship of Seven Years with a Bake r, and then came up to London, and was a Journey man to several Bakers alternately, at White-chapel, and other Places in and near this City: That afterwards he went to Dublin in Ireland, and there having work'd with a Baker for two Years, return'd to London, and set up for himself at Limehouse. He own'd he had liv'd a wicked Life, being addicted to the foul Sin of Lewdness, and other wilful Sins, but of late years had in a great measure left them off; and that tho' he fell into this Crime of Coining, yet he did not intend to continue long in the Practice of it. Here I observ'd to him, (as I likewise did to the other) that in this appear'd the Devil's Artifice, who putting him upon a wicked Fact, in hopes of repenting, knew that when he was once engaged in't, he would find more Difficulty to get out of it, than it would have been at first for him to have kept himself from meddling with it.
3. Henry Plunket, condemn'd for a barbarous Murder he had committed upon the Person of Mr. Jean le Brun, in English John Brown, by cutting his Throat with a Razour, on the 30th of August last. He said, he was just 20 Years of age on the 3d Day of July last; That he was born at Saar-Louis in the Dutchy of Lorrain, a Place under the Dominion of the King of France; That for the most part of his Life he had been in the French Service in Italy, Germany, and Flanders; and, That when but ten Years of age, he had a Lieutenant's Com
mission, under the Command of his Father Colonel Plunket, an Irish Gentleman, and a Relation of Father Plunket's, Primate of Ireland, (as he call'd him) who came to an Untimely End here in the Year 1679. As for himself, he said, That tho' he was made an Officer so young, (and therefore came to that Post of a Lieutenant more by Favour than Merit) yet, as he grew up, he shew'd himself worthy of it; for by his undaunted Courage he always faced, and never turn'd his Back to his Enemy. And so he would have gone on with a further Account of his Valiant Exploits, but I put a stop to it, by telling him, That the Consideration of those deserved Actions of his, would not in this Case have stood him in any stead, even with the King of France, in whose Service he was then engag'd, much less here in England, where such his Warlike Feats were unknown and useless: And besides, That as he own'd to me he was forc'd to fly out of the French Dominions for killing a Gentleman in a Duel there, so he could not with any colour of Reason expect that such a base Murder as he had committed here, and of which he was fairly convicted, should go unpunish'd. Here I endeavour'd to make him sensible of the greatness of his Offence, that he might duly repent of it, and so obtain God's Mercy; but he deny'd the Fact, and only own'd himself in general guilty of many Irregularities thro' the whole Course of his Life, for which he begg'd Pardon of God, and of those he had offended; but he would say no more as to the confessing in particular the Sins his Conscience was loaded with; telling me, that as he was a Roman Catholick , so he did not think fit to open his Mind to me, but he would do it to a Father-Confessor of his own Religion, who would absolve him. Upon which I observ'd to him, that he seem'd to be more concern'd for, and depend more upon, his Priest's Absolution, than the to following the Sound Advice I gave him, of Praying to God for Grace to repent of all his Sins, in such a manner, as that his Repentance might be sincere, and effectual to Salvation, thro' the alone Merits of Jesus Christ. After I had thus spoken to him, he own'd to me, That he was Guilty, and justly Condemn'd: And would say no more.
4. Joyce Hodgkis, condemn'd for a Murder by her committed on the 18th of August last, upon the Person of John Hodgkis her Husband, who was a Shoemaker by Trade. She said, she was about 42 Years of age, born in Staffordshire, but from her Youth brought up in the Parish of Shadwell, and thence remov'd to Limehouse, about 15 Years since, where she was married to the said John Hodgkis, who prov'd a very cruel Husband to her all the time she was his Wife, which was Fourteen Years. When I first examin'd her, before her Condemnation, about this barbarous Fact she was committed for, she deny'd it: And in that her Denial she persisted for a great while after she had received Sentence of Death; but at last she confess'd it, saying, That in her Passion she gave him the Wound he dy'd of, bu did not design to have killed him: And now she was made sensible, that tho' her Husband was such a wicked Person as she had represented him, who dealt very ill with her, in using her most unmercifully, yet she ought not to have taken his Life away for that, but have endeavour'd by some proper Means (as having the Minister of their Parish, or some other serious Person, to discourse him) to bring him to a better Temper. This she acknowledg'd was a Fault in her, that she did not use such a Method, but instead thereof took a Course with him as rid her of him indeed, but brought a Guilt and Trouble upon her, more than she ever had before. I found her very ignorant in Matters of Religion, tho' she said she went frequently to Church; but not being able to read, she had not that Advantage of understanding Good Things, which they have who were brought up to Reading, and to know the Principles of the Christian Religion from their Youth. She being found Guilty of a Crime which the Law calls Petty-Treason, she was order'd to be, and so accordingly was Burnt for it, as I shall observe by and by.
5. Thomas Trevor, condemn'd for Burglary, in breaking open the House of Mr. William Stevens, and stealing thence several Goods of Value, on the 8th of July last. He said, he would not give me any other Account of what he was, or had been, but this only, That he had serv'd King William and the late Queen above Twenty Years in the Army ; and the World should know no more of him from his own Confession: But to this I answer'd, That whether he would make any Confession, or no, I knew, and the World knew too well, that he had been an Old Offender, who had committed very many ill Facts, and that he had receiv'd Sentence of Death at the Old-baily before this time, and afterwards obtain'd a Pardon, which he pleaded there on the 12th day of August, 1713; but having abused that Mercy by committing new Crimes since, had now brought himself to this shameful End and Destruction. To which I added, That if he did not sincerely repent of all his Sins, which he could not but be sensible were many and great, he would perish for ever; and therefore ought seriously to consider it betimes, for his Life, yea, his Eternal Life, depended upon't. With this he seem'd to be somewhat touch'd, and to relent: But yet I cannot say that he was, as I wish'd he had been, brought up to a just degree of Contrition and Penitence, and an earnest Desire of God's Pardon for them: For (in short) he appear'd to be very obstinate, and to think, that less Repentance would serve his turn, whose Sins he thought did not make him so heinous an Offender in the Sight of God, as theirs did who had committed wilful Murder; of which Crime, he said, he never was guilty. Here finding him to build too much on his Innocence, or at least, less Sinfulness, I told him, That as God was so gracious as to forgive the greatest of Sins on true Repentance, so He would in his Justice most certainly punish the Sinner with Eternal Damnation, who would venture to die in the Guilt of the least Sin unrepented of. At last he own'd, he was concern'd in the Burglary he was condemn'd for, and had in many other respects been a great Offender.
6. Peter La Tour, corruptedly call'd Letune, said he was 20 Years of Age, born in Fleet street, London; That his Father was a Frenchman, and an Officer in the Service of King William the Third of Ever-blessed Memory, and his Mother an Englishwoman: That he was brought up to the Sea , and serv'd on Board several Men of War, and the last Ship he serv'd in was the Bedford: That having left that Service for some Years past, he betook himself to very ill Courses, and committed several Felonies, all of which (one excepted) he being try'd for, and found guilty of, he was several times burnt in the Hand, and sent to the Workhouse. He confess'd his Guilt of the Burglary he stood now condemn'd for, which was the Breaking open the House of Mr. John Palmer at Edmonton, taking thence diverse Goods, on the 27th of July last. Of which Fact, and other Sins by him committed, he said he heartily repented; and gave some demonstration of his Gref, by his Cries and Tears, and other Expressions of the Sense he had of the heinousness of that wicked Course of Life which he had led.
7. Thomas Tinsley, condemn'd for the Stealing of a dark-brown Mare, out of the Grounds of Mr. Thomas Goddard, on the 17th of April last, as also for stealing another Mare (a black one) out of the Grounds of Mr. William Mitchell, on the 11th of May last. He said he was 28 Years of Age, born at South-Myns in Middlesex; That about 8 Years since he went to Totteridge in Hartfordshire, and there follow'd Husbandry , and was a Servant to three or four Farmers alternately; and, That he had all-along behav'd himself faithfully in his several Services, and never committed any such Facts before as these he was now condemn'd for; which he readily acknowledged, and pray'd God to forgive him.
He was a poor ignorant Person, Yet he became very sensible that his Poverty; which at first he alledg'd for an Excuse of his Crime, was not a good Argument, for that could not alter the nature of his Offence, therefore such a Plea would avail him nothing at God's Tribunal, as it was of no force in Courts of Judicature among Men: But what was fit for him to do in the sad Circumstances he had brought himself into by his Sins, was truly to repent, and to that end raise in himself a just abhorrence of 'em, considering how displeasing they were to God, as well as hurtful to his Neighbour, and also to his own Soul. And here I gave him some particular Directions how he might perform this Duty, and by such a Performance
(thro' the Divine Grace, and the Merits of Christ) obtain Eternal Life and Salvation. He receiv'd these my Instructions and Admonitions (as it appear'd) with a desire to follow them; but his great Illness of Body (being sick of a Fever) joyn'd to his want of Knowledg, render'd it very difficult, and made his Progress therein very slow. However, as he seem'd to do whatever he could in it, so I hope the Lord has accepted both of it and of him, out of his boundless Mercy in Jesus Christ.
At the Place of Execution, to which the two Coiners were drawn in a Sledge, and the other Five carried in two Carts this Day, I attended them for the last time, and (according to my usual manner) exhorted them to clear their Consciences, and repent of all their Sins, to their utmost ability, earnestly praying God to assist them, and comfort them with extraordinary Grace at this time of their great Need and Distress, that after their departure out of this miserable World, in which they had so much offended both GOD and Man, they might be fitted for Admittance into the Mansions of Bliss and Glory, where they should sing Praises to God to all Eternity. To help them therein, and excite their Desires thereto, after many Ghostly Admonitions, which I gave them, I pray'd for them, sung some Penitential Psalms with them, and made them rehearse the Apostles Creed: And then commending their Souls to the boundless Mercy of God, I left them to their private Devotions; who, after they had spoke to the People to this purpose, That they should take Warning by them, &c. and pray'd a while by themselves, the Cart drew away, and the Men were turn'd off, calling all the while upon God to have Mercy upon their departing Souls, and receive them into his Heavenly Kingdom.
After the Men were thus turn'd off, the Woman (i. e. Joyce Hodgkis) was ty'd to a Stake, set up for her at a little distance from the Gallows, where I pray'd by her; And when I had done, then the Fuel and combustible Matters, that were there prepared, being placed round her, and set on fire, she was burnt.
This is all the Account here to be given of these Malefactors, by me

The second annual Emily Lindsey Scholarship Benefit will be held this weekend in Humphrey.
The benefit will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday at A&C Fish. The fundraiser will also feature a raffle, baked goods sale and a silent auction. Donated items for the auction came from businesses and individuals in the Stuttgart, Humphrey and DeWitt communities.
"The silent auction is new this year, and I don't think one person or place that I went and asked turned me down," Kris Lindsey, Emily's mother, said.
In May the group was able to give out approximately $7,000 in scholarship funds to students from the Grand Prairie area.
Emily Lindsey, the daughter of Kelly and Kris Lindsey of Casscoe, was killed in a one-vehicle accident in February of 2011. Since then Lindsey's mother has been raising money to provide scholarships in her daughter's name. Emily was a student at Grand Prairie Christian School and was going to graduate in the spring when the accident occurred.
"You don't know how appreciative we are as Emily's family. It is just amazing how much this community cares and supports their own," she said.
Dinner and raffle tickets can be purchased at A&C Fish, located in the old Humphrey School Cafeteria.

National Post ·
When creating Stephen Harper's DNA, the Almighty forgot to insert the compromise chromosome.
That's why the Prime Minister stood in the House of Commons yesterday to insist he was still the final guardian of sensitive files, refusing to cower before the new clout of his parliamentary opposition.
Less than 24 hours after Speaker Peter Milliken ruled that Parliament can overrule the PMO, Mr. Harper signalled little ornochangeinthegovernment's position on keeping thousands of Afghan detainee documents under a shroud of secrecy.
The acts and laws guarding national security will prevail, Mr. Harper declared, and that means the same statutes the justice department used to justify heavy censorship will remain in force as heavy black markers scrawling across sensitive paperwork.
"The government cannot break the law, it cannot order public servants to break the law, nor can it do anything that would unnecessarily jeopardize the safety of Canadian troops," warned Mr. Harper in what was essentially an echo of his position before the Speaker's historic ruling on Tuesday.
If that's unsatisfactory to what Conservatives now call the "unholy coalition" of opposition forces, well, too bad. Mr Harper may be open to "reasonable suggestions" because the government "depends" on keeping the confidence of the House, but it won't break laws to avoid losing that confidence.
New Democrat Leader Jack Layton picked up on the subtle inference immediately. "Is the Prime Minister telling us today that he is going to defy the ruling of the Speaker and the will of the House in order to go to an election?"
Well, not quite, not yet. But it was Mr. Harper who raised the spectre of this showdown as a confidence threat and he didn't seem to run away from the possibility it could end up in voter hands.
Ironically, hours earlier there was every indication of speedy end to the standoff.
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff sounded conciliatory as he dispatched his top procedural negotiator to a meeting with the government. Oft-cranky Public Safety Minister Vic Toews went all warm and fuzzy about searching for "some kind of compromise", going so far as to admit that opposition MPs "are entitled to see documents but of course they have to maintain secrecy in respect to those documents".
That had some insiders speculating a meeting today among party representatives could produce an accord by the weekend, with some MPs granted special clearance to see the files.
Silly people. Have they learned nothing about this Prime Minister in the past four years?
Mr. Harper allowing separatist Bloc Quebecois MPs access to secrets deemed a threat to Canadian security? Won't happen. And even if rival MPs are able to see them, any smoking-gun detainee documents would be declared a matter of national security and never see the light of parliamentary day.
Mr. Harper has basically served notice that the onus will on the combined opposition, if they want to avoid the ultimate confrontation on the campaign trail, to accept that some, if not most, detainee documents will remain censored on the advice of government lawyers.
It sets up a repeat of the September 2009 showdown when Mr. Ignatieff removed his support from the government. The Prime Minister waited until an election seemed imminent before coughing up some token employment insurance improvements to secure backing from the NDP.
In this case, Mr. Harper might well wait for a crisis to develop and then release just enough uncensored documentation to allow his opponents to claim a moral, if not material, victory while keeping all the big secrets safe.
And make no mistake, there has to be a stink bomb somewhere in the paper mountain or sitting at the bottom of a shipping container en route from Afghanistan. There's no other explanation for this government's rabid determination to protect so many files from prying eyes.
Speaker Milliken delivered the right ruling in declaring Parliament supreme over the Prime Minister. But it's analogous to Mr. Milliken picking the winner of a hockey series in advance and ordering the two teams to negotiate a satisfactory score for the final game.
Mr. Harper doesn't play games that are fixed for him to fail. He plays by rules, but only those in his own playbook.
You can't really blame him for acting this way. Capitulation is not in his genes either.
