To the Editor:
—The report by Fullerton, Kollar, and Caldwell (181:463 [Aug 11] 1962), of patients with ulcerative colitis, constitutes a valuable addition to our growing information on some of the psychological aspects of this disorder. I was particularly gratified to find a considerable measure of validation of many of the psychological data we reported some years ago, based on clinical observation (Engel, G.L.: Studies of Ulcerative Colitis: III. Nature of Psychologic Processes, Amer J Med19:231 [Aug] 1955).However, as reported, the study by Fullerton et al has certain limitations which I feel should be made explicit, since they are not sufficiently emphasized in their paper. For one thing, this report would more properly be identified as a study of men with ulcerative colitis rather than a study of ulcerative colitis. The authors note, but do not sufficently emphasize, that 45 out of the 47 patients were

I'd like to welcome everyone to today's hearing of the Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on International Security, Proliferation, and Federal Services. Our topic today is "National Missile Defense and the ABM Treaty."
The administration's plan for national missile defense -- the "3+3" program-- appears to have serious problems, one of which is the possible conflict with provisions of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
Legislation calling for the deployment of national missile defense has been criticized by the administration for allegedly requiring violation of the ABM Treaty. For example, commenting on the 1996 Defense Authorization bill -which the President vetoed -- former Secretary of Defense William Perry said it would have "put us on a pathway to abrogate the ABM Treaty...". Ashton Carter, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy, said the bill "obliges us to violate or ignore the ABM Treaty." And President Clinton, in explaining why he would veto last year's Defend America Act, said it would "violate the arms control agreements that we have made and that make us more secure."
The administration said that its 3+3 NMD plan contrasted sharply with past Republican proposals. The 3+3 plan, according to some administration spokesmen, was better because it could defend America from limited ballistic missile attack without violating the ABM Treaty. Secretary Perry told the Senate that "there is nothing we are doing now or planning to do which would be in violation of the ABM Treaty." Lieutenant General O'Neill, then Director of the Ballistic Missile
Now the administration seems to be changing its story, by saying that only the development phase of the NMD program will be ABM Treaty-compliant while the system ultimately deployed "might require modification of the Treaty." The recent DoD request for proposals for the 3+3 lead systems integrator contract states that "treaty compliance of the deployed NMD system is not a requirement and will not be evaluated as part of the source selection process." Members of this subcommittee were recently told by the Director of BMDO that, contrary to previous administration statements, all of the 3+3 options under consideration by the administration pose ABM Treaty problems.
These recent statements indicate the administration realizes that its own plan to protect America from ballistic missile attack, even a limited attack, could be in conflict with the 25-year-old ABM Treaty. In today's hearing, we will examine the extent to which 3+3 proposals are compatible with the ABM Treaty and the administration's plan for addressing any incompatibilities.
If negotiations to modify the ABM Treaty are part of that plan, we would like to know what provisions have been made for these negotiations in the 3+3 program schedule. This is particularly important given the failure -- after 3 1/2 years of negotiations -- to reach agreement on a clarification of the ABM Treaty regarding theater missile defenses.
Today, we are pleased to welcome to this hearing Mr. John Holum, Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Mr. Holum heads the agency responsible for negotiating, implementing, and verifying the nation's arms control agreements, and we will benefit from both his expertise on treaty issues and his experience directing arms control negotiations.

India's newest aircraft carrier, the Vikramaditya , began sea trials off Severodvinsk, Russia, in June, with testing expected to continue into the fall. The 44,000-ton Kiev -class carrier, formerly known as the Admiral Gorshkov , initially entered Soviet naval service in December 1987. Negotiations to sell the Admiral Gorshkov began in 1994, and in 1998 India agreed to acquire the ship for free and modernize her with Russian equipment. The vessel was officially transferred to India in 2004, and conversion has been ongoing at the Sevmash Enterprise shipyards in Severodvinsk. Hull modifications include the addition of a 14.3-degree "ski jump" at the bow to enhance the performance of short-takeoff aircraft. Relaunched in 2008, the ship is expected to carry an air group of 20 MiG-29K fighters and 12 helicopters once she becomes fully operational during the next few years. India currently has one other aircraft carrier in service, the 28,000-ton Viraat (ex–HMS Hermes ) and at least one newly built 40,000-ton Vikrant -class carrier is also planned for service beginning around 2015.

Stephanie, toddler mom
On this day in history in 1983, Yuri Andropov, then leader of the Soviet Union, released a letter he had received from a fifth-grade American girl and his letter in reply. The girl was Samantha Smith.
Though I was older than her, I remember thinking what a cool and courageous person she was, and I remember thinking how awesome her parents must be to have raised such an outstanding person. She was beautiful, she was smart, and she was remarkably poised and thoughtful for her age. It was beyond tragedy that her life was cut so short, but her remarkable diplomacy built a bridge of communication between two superpowers, and it was all due to the inquisitiveness of this one child.
Our world has changed some since then. Power struggles have evolved as has the focus of the world stage.
I don't know if the current threats to world peace would be as responsive to the voice of a child, but I do carry a lesson with me from Samantha's story: Be respectful of children. Their observations can be profound. They can change the world because they believe they can. They are our future.
This little blog may be nothing more than a "mommyblog," but I believe that a focus on our children is a focus on our future. I hope that allowing my child a joyful childhood full of grand experiences and an understanding of a big world will help her to carry those values into her adulthood. I hope that sharing our experiences as parents will help us all to bring hope and love and joy to our children even when that is very hard to do.
And I don't know if my Bethany will become another Samantha Smith, but I want to give her every opportunity to be the fullest and best Bethany that she can, for if Samantha's legacy is anything it is that one child really can change the world.

New Virginia Personhood Laws Outlaw Birth Control – and Oh, Yeah – Can Penetrate Women Without Their Consent
February 17, 2012 35 Comments
You read that right. Under legislation already passed in the House in Virginia (which the governor has promised to sign) if you seek a legal abortion there, the new law literally requires a forced vaginal invasion — a "transvaginal ultrasound". The other, the "personhood" law, criminalizes the birth control pill, stem cell research, perhaps even the In Vitro Fertility (IVF) assistance for childless couples. Welcome the Republican plan for America.
From the Huffinton Post: As if stamped out of an anti-woman mold, Republican hopefuls Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and Paul all support the cruel and bizarre policy of "personhood," the belief that full legal rights instantly accompany the joining of every sperm and egg. Voters wishing to see Republican personhood in the process need look no further than Virginia, where the GOP-controlled House just passed HB1, (Marshall-R). Part of a matched set of two astonishingly cruel legislations, (the other bill literally requires a forced vaginal invasion — a "transvaginal ultrasound" — into any woman considering a legal abortion) of which the personhood bill may actually be more destructive. The transvaginal ultrasound is humiliating, painful, medically unnecessary, and imposed on a woman against her will, like rape with a foreign object –but the personhood law is forever. Do Virginians really want to criminalize the birth control pill, stem cell research, perhaps even the In Vitro Fertility (IVF) assistance for childless couples — as well as a woman's right to choose?
HuffPo continues:
Having first denied their bill would affect abortion or birth control, Republicans later revealed their true intent. Asked if the bill was intended to "lay groundwork for outlawing abortion," the bill's author Marshall responded with the mocking comment: "You'd have to be completely obtuse to not understand that is something I have worked toward for 20 years… " Democrat Vivian Watts (D-Fairfax) challenged the bill, essentially saying, if the bill truly won't affect birth control, put that in writing — add an amendment pledging nothing in the bill shall affect birth control. But Republicans immediately voted 64-34 not to add this modest amendment. Even Fox News, normally an apologist for all things Republican, did not buy the "no impact on abortion rights" nonsense, saying:"…Bob Marshall's House Bill 1 would effectively outlaw all Virginia abortions by declaring that the rights of a person apply from the moment sperm and egg unite." If personhood laws are put into effect, government would literally have the authority to control the reproductive life of every citizen. Were not Republicans supposed to be in favor of individual liberty? Why then would they want to remove our right to use birth control? With an estimated 99 percent of all women of reproductive years reportedly having engaged in contraception, it hardly seems possible that Republicans would try to ban something as common as air. True, Rick Santorum expressed his sentiment that sex with birth control is "not OK because it's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." The other Republican Presidential hopefuls also support personhood, with the allegedly moderate Romney going so far as to say he would "absolutely" sign a personhood Constitutional Amendment. What do American voters think? Follow Don C. Reed on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/diverdonreed via Don C. Reed: Republicans With Power: Virginia Personhood Laws a Preview of GOP Presidency?.
And the controversial – but also staunch supporter of both women's reproductive and sexual freedom, not to mention Planned Parenthood – Dan Savage has a great take here, first taking on Ms. magazine's controlled response:
The Virginia state House of Delegates voted 63 to 36 to pass a bill requiring that women seeking abortions undergo a transvaginal ultrasound, which requires a probe being inserted into the vagina. Delegate Charniele Herring (D-Alexandria) criticized the bill, saying "We're talking about inside a woman's body. This is the first time, if we pass this bill, that we will be dictating a medical procedure to a physician." The House also voted down by a vote of 64 to 34 an amendment, which requires the women's consent for the transvaginal ultrasound probe. This means a probe must be inserted into the woman's vagina with or without her consent if she seeks an abortion. The bill will now go to the state Senate. Republican Governor Bob McDonnell indicated that he will sign the bill.
Why so restrained, Ms. Magazine? Call it what it is: state-sanctioned rape. And that blogger isn't being hyperbolic: forcing a vaginal probe into a woman's vagina without her consent meets the legal definition of rape in Virginia. Rachel Maddow did anger/fury/rage-inducing segments on the new law on her February 14th andFebruary 15th broadcasts. Watch both segments. Right now. Watch Rachel go.
Did you watch? Okay…
It seems to me that a large, loud, and highly disruptive protest is in order. Here's a suggestion: if the Virginia GOP and Virginia's Republican state legislators and Virginia's Republican governor want a look inside your vagina—with a vaginal ultrasound—why not let 'em have a look? Project images of vaginas and vaginal canals onto the state capitol, the buildings that surround it, and the Virginia state GOP party's HQ; pack the public galleries in the state house and senate chambers with few hundred women and have 'em throw thousands of flyers with images of vaginas on 'em down on the heads and desks of Virginia's legislators. Blanket both chambers with vaginas—give the GOPervs what they want and grind state business to a halt.
One can only hope. I won't be able to go there, but I certainly hope feminists and human rights advocates in Virginia and neighboring states protest loudly and with pictures.
This will be the defining issue of 2012. Is this what America (or at least 51%) really wants? I want to believe it won't even be close.

Statement by Geraldine Fraser Moleketi, Director of the Democratic Governance group, UNDP
Tunis - Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, Director of the Democratic Governance Group of UNDP, met with key members of the transitional government, civil society, the presidents of the recently appointed commissions dealing with political reform and fact-finding of abuses, and key international cooperation partners during her visit to Tunisia the week of February 1-5th. She was grateful for the openness and warm reception received from all interlocutors.
Ms. Fraser-Moleketi extended her condolences to the families of those who lost their lives during the violence in recent weeks, struggling for democracy and freedom. She expressed solidarity with the people of Tunisia during this historic transition period.
Ms. Fraser-Moleketi was impressed by the immediate initiatives and progress towards realization of a smooth transition. She was encouraged by the measures implemented, or underway including the positive step of registering several new political parties. Additionally, the transitional government has shown commitment to ensure the continuation of state functions, work on the passage of an amnesty law, the release of all political prisoners. There have also been initial concrete steps for compensation of victims of the recent violence, and to ratify international conventions, including in the field of human rights.
In her meetings, civil society, including the Tunisian General Workers Union, presented a comprehensive overview of their contributions to the transition. This includes, among others, the development of political, social and economic policies in consultation with a range of stakeholders.
There was consensus for the United Nations to support a transparent and credible electoral process that will serve to fulfil the aspirations of the Tunisian people for freedom and democracy. In the rich consultations, emphasis was placed on the need to eliminate all legal constraints that impede the full participation of all citizens in the electoral process. Ms. Fraser-Moleketi said UNDP will continue a dialogue with partners in the coming weeks in order to prioritize technical and financial assistance, with a special focus on democratic governance and capacity building.

A 59-year-old woman was seriously injured last weekend when she was struck by a car three blocks from my house. According to the neighborhood chat group -- often accurate, sometimes not -- she suffered a shattered kneecap, a serious head thump and a broken leg.
The woman will recover. But most of the talk among neighbors was not about what we could do for her -- preparing meals, running errands.
The debate centered on whether the chat group violated the privacy terms of HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, by discussing her plight.
"A small word of warning," wrote one concerned poster. "Unless we have the patient's permission to be discussing details of the medical history publicly, doing so violates HIPAA and should be avoided."
In fact, that concern seems unfounded, though you could understand the worry about the woman's privacy.
One knowledgeable neighbor put us right: HIPAA only covers entities like physicians, hospitals, insurance companies and employer health plans. It doesn't apply to ordinary folks. If you're injured on a public street, it's a public event.
"One hundred years ago, the SJ Mercury would describe in great detail suicides and suicide attempts (with the method!), confinements to Agnews State Mental hospital (and the reason!) and the gory details of accidents, especially the bloody one with lots of anatomical details," she wrote.
A public event
"When we post, it is like writing for a small town newspaper. Do you want it to be like the SJ Mercury of 100 years ago or like the Mercury of today?" she asked. "If you want complete privacy, tell your family to keep their mouth shut and don't allow yourself or your family members to be injured in public."
I tell that story for a couple of reasons. First, a well-meaning piece of legislation designed to protect patient privacy can be interpreted in restrictive ways that its authors did not intend. And second, we often forget simple decency in the wrangle over law. We debate what it is legal but not what is right.
First enacted in 1996 and then amended with a privacy provision in 2003, HIPAA is a flawed law. It has created problems for mental health patients, erected obstacles for biomedical researchers, and made doctors worry about sending emails to patients.
In large part, this is not because of the way the federal government seeks to interpret the law. HIPAA's critics point to overcautious lawyers and hospital risk managers. When in doubt, it's safer to say "give out nothing."
Common sense
My second point -- that common sense gets lost -- applies directly to the situation of the injured woman. If we had asked what response was empathetic, we would have had a better debate.
In my view, mentioning the woman's name or even her broken leg doesn't invade her privacy needlessly. Without her name, how do neighbors know whom to help? And without an account of her injury, how do they know how badly she needs it?
"All of the responses to this issue have been in regard to legality," wrote one poster. "Such a shame. A neighbor was injured. We're all worried, and curious, yet somehow we have to consider becoming a criminal to satisfy our curiosity or worry."

A Room of One's Own
by Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own Theme of Contrasting Regions: Oxbridge and Fernham
What did you have for breakfast this morning? Last night's pizza and a flat coke? A tasty bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar? For Woolf, these are really important questions. "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well," she writes, "if one has not dined well" (1.26). A big part of the first chapter of A Room of One's Own is devoted long descriptions of two meals: one at the ritzy all-male university of Oxbridge and the other at the shabby all-women's college, Fernham. While Oxbridge is luxurious and locked up tight, like a bank or a private club, Fernham is accessible to anyone who walks in, even though they can only offer people meals of stringy beef and prunes. Woolf builds the whole argument of the book around the differences between these two places.
Questions About Contrasting Regions: Oxbridge and Fernham
- Why so much emphasis on the meals? Did Woolf originally deliver this lecture on The Food Network?
- How does Woolf use her language and syntax to give you an idea of Oxbridge's luxury? How does she convey Fernham's poverty?
- Is it important that Woolf keeps using the word "flowing" in her descriptions of Oxbridge? Why or why not?
- If there's a relationship between good food and good thinking, could you just go out to a fancy restaurant instead of studying for an exam?
- What's the benefit of being stuck in a "miraculous glass cabinet" as you stroll through the Oxbridge campus (1.4)?
Chew on This
Fernham seems like an awful place, yet when the narrator arrives at Fernham, she lovingly describes the overgrown beauty of the campus gardens. The Fernham campus, with its overgrown, unlocked gardens, is a symbol for the positive side of women's educational and intellectual situation.
Woolf places too much emphasis on food and luxury; it's possible (maybe even easier) to make good art without having spent hours at a fancy lunch.

Strange. According to this recent AP story, the latest haven for convicted sex offenders is not Mexico or Alaska or, for that matter, anywhere else known (fairly or unfairly) as a hotspot for fugitives.
No, it's the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. According to the story, restrictions in Puerto Rico are less strict than in many U.S. jurisdictions, and an increasing number of sex offenders are finding it an ideal place to hide.
Federal agents have arrested at least six sex offenders over the last year for failure to register in Puerto Rico and sent them back to the U.S. to face prosecution on other charges, according to Deputy U.S. Marshal Rafael Escobar.
"I'm sure there's a bunch more," he said. "The Internet is there, and these guys are checking to see where the law is weakest."
Puerto Rico police Capt. Margarita George, who oversees the island's sex offender registry, said that some are lured by the lack of laws barring them from living near parks or schools. And failing to register is a misdemeanor in Puerto Rico — not a felony as it is in most parts of the U.S.
Offenders have told police they can do things in Puerto Rico that are nearly impossible elsewhere, such as buy property, George said.
Added Escobar: "It is a fact that the guys who come down here know they're not that strict."
Additional benefits, the gorgeous weather, the surfing off Rincon, and more plantains than you could eat in a lifetime.

Summer Camp Before College: Inbound Program at Juniata
(Posted April 18, 2013)
Juniata's Inbound program is designed to help first-year students transition to college life. The program offers around 40 "retreats" in which students are divided into groups based on their interests. During the week prior to the start of classes, these groups participate in activities in accordance to their group's interests. Natalie Hershberger, who is responsible for coordinating Inbound, gave us an inside look at the many variables that make this program possible.
Q: What is your role in Inbound? Can you touch on all of your responsibilities?
A: I was hired in October to serve as Inbound Coordinator, which is a new ancillary position for Residential Life (I also serve as the Resident Director of Sunderland Hall). Inbound started under the Office of Student Activities in 2005 with just 10 participants. By 2012, Inbound had expanded to 330 participants and had outgrown Student Activities. As Inbound Coordinator, I am responsible for all aspects of Inbound from planning and recruitment to implementation and assessment. I have hired three interns who will work with me throughout the spring and summer to plan and carry out this program.
Q: Can you explain more about what Inbound is and how it operates?
A: Inbound is a social, transitional program for Juniata's first-year students. First-year students include freshmen, transfers, and new international students. The program takes place just prior to the beginning of the fall semester (Saturday, August 17 -- Tuesday, August 20, 2013). First-year students are encouraged to participate unless they have scheduling conflicts, such as preseason training for fall sports. Participants register online and list their top retreat choices. We do our best to place all participants in one of their top three choices. Each retreat is assigned two peer leaders (returning Juniata students) and one advisor from the faculty or staff. Each retreat participates in large group activities, but spends most of their time as an individual retreat group participating in activities related to the participants' shared interests.
Q: What is the overall purpose of Inbound? How do first-year students benefit?
A: The purpose of Inbound is to bring first-year students onto campus before upperclassmen return, to give them a chance to meet their peers, establish relationship with peer leaders and advisors, and become acclimated to campus and the surrounding community before classes begin -- all while having fun. First-year students benefit from meeting others with similar interests and making additional social connections with others outside their resident halls and classes. Some participants establish friendships that last throughout their entire four years at Juniata.
Q: Can you explain the process that students must go through to become a peer leader? Where are you in the process currently?
A: Most any freshman, sophomore, or junior can apply to be an Inbound peer leader (some exceptions are fall athletes and others with scheduling conflicts during peer leader training and Inbound). We're looking for individuals who have the ability to lead small groups, serve as a positive role model, and assist first-year students in their transition into life at Juniata. Our peer leaders have been selected and assigned to a retreat. We were fortunate this year to have many qualified candidates and have a waitlist in the event more peer leader positions become available.
Q: Can you highlight some of the interesting groups this year? What are some cool activities that students will have a chance to do in Inbound?
Wilderness Adventure -- multiple retreats offered, likely to be one of our most popular -- major activities are white water rafting on the Youghiogheny River in Ohio Pyle State Park
Pop Culture -- last year visited the Andy Warhol Museum and Mattress Factory Art Museum in Pittsburgh.
Better Together (interfaith) -- brand new retreat focusing on building interfaith communities
Mighty Eagle (martial arts) -- Phil Dunwoody, associate professor of psychology teaches I think he teaches Tai Chi
Ride On (cycling) -- John Matter, professor of biology, rides the trails with the group

Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said pregnancies resulting from rape are part of God's plan, tearfully explaining that he only supports abortions when a mother's life is in danger.
"I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Mourdock said during Tuesday's Senate debate, choking up. Mourdock's opponent, Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly, opposes abortion except in cases of rape and incest.
After the debate, Mourdock further explained his comment.

Watching me play with magazine clippings this morning, Micah wanted to know why Aunty Carla gave us "all those magazines with houses" in them. I explained that they were interior design magazines that helped people choose how to make a room look pretty and how to plan it out.
Micah asked for some watercolors to make her "own interior design". Here is what she created with a scrap doodling page and her paints. I think it would be quite a cheerful room.

Of the 15 men who took the field for Wales against South Africa yesterday, 5 were fluent Welsh speakers. As the clock ticked past five thirty, around 60,000 of us lustily sang our anthem, in Welsh.Yesterday afternoon, I wandered into the Welsh Rugby Union's pop-up shop on the Hayes. They've got a new range of merchandise out. Can't blame them for trying to make a few quid; it's an expensive business keeping our talented players in Wales, not to mention paying the Chief Executive his £337,000 a year salary.
The new merchandise is very stylish. Replica shirts, bobble hats and scarves. Emblazoned with Brand Wales.
That's Brand Wales, not Brand Cymru. It appears that the WRU aren't bothered with the Welsh language.
Don't they care about our language any more? How long will it be before we hear calls for an english alternative to Hen Wlad Fy'n Nhadau to be sung before internationals?
Just think about the meaning of our National Anthem, and the final line that we all sing before the game, "O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau." What does it mean? "Long may the old language prevail." What, exactly are the WRU doing to preserve our language? Not much, it would seem.
We know the WRU's number one priority is money. Just look at the Autumn internationals. The annual cash cow where the players and the fans are the losers, and the WRU are the only winners.
It's time to realise we're being cheated by Roger Lewis, his six-figure salary, the insulting merchandise and these pointless money-making matches. Don't buy any of this english tat. Instead, give a few quid to the Welsh Rugby Players' Benevolent Trust.

ARLINGTON, Va. — The availability of professional truck drivers has not been impacted as much as previously thought by CSA considering the economy and existing demographic trends, says a new ATRI survey.
So concludes a portion of a 79-page survey report "Compliance, Safety, Accountability: Evaluating a New Safety Measurement System and Its Implications" published Tuesday by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRII), the research arm of the American Trucking Associations.
The report includes input from more than 6,000 commercial vehicle drivers, over 1,000 motor carriers, dozens of shippers and almost 40 law enforcement personnel.
"Specifically, only a small fraction of currently employed drivers have been put out of work explicitly due to CSA," the report said. "This is a marked deviation from industry expectations; shortly after CSA was introduced, experts were predicting that 10 to 20 percent of drivers would be terminated as a result of the program."
The report said that recognizing that previous research found that roughly 10 percent of drivers account for nearly half of all safety incidents, it was estimated that at least 10 percent of truck drivers would become unemployed once CSA went into effect.
"Despite the high level of concern, however, ATRI's motor carrier surveys revealed that close to 90 percent of carriers have fired from 0 percent to just 5 percent of their workforce – well short of the expectations the industry had that 10 to 20 percent of drivers would be ineligible to continue operating a truck due to CSA.
The report said CSA's effect has primarily been felt by prospective truck drivers. "Employers report less leeway when evaluating driver applicants' driving records compared to current employees," the report said. "This makes sense since employers have more extensive knowledge of current drivers than of applicants, including insights into personality traits, behavioral patterns and home lives; therefore, employment decisions can often factor in information beyond a driver's MCMIS or MVR data (not to mention, employers may be privy to explanations behind safety infractions or FMCSR violations)."
On the other hand, ATRI said it found that applicants are principally defined by their driving histories.
"And since 2010, PSP has been particularly impactful in screening out a high percentage of undesirable drivers," the report said. "While this is a laudable practice that will likely keep the safety bar elevated, a consequence is that most employers now find it somewhat or extremely difficult to find and hire new qualified drivers. This figure grew from 72 percent of carriers in ATRI's 2011 survey to 83 percent in ATRI's 2012 survey, alongside the trend of carriers increasingly incorporating PSP into hiring practices."

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Bruce McElmurray
Echo the German Shepherd Dog destined for greatness. Rescueing a dog from a terrible fate., Bruce McElmurray
We went to Buena Vista, Colorado, to help on a work day at the German Shepherd Dog Rescue of Central Colorado where I am a volunteer. Surprise, we now have four - yes that's right - four family members in addition to the two of us on our mountain homestead. We never set out to have four dogs, but when you bond with a special dog you can't just ignore that development. So the photo is of Echo, a two year old male German Shepherd Dog who is so happy now that he can hardly contain himself.Echo was a stray, found his way to a farm where the farmer took him in and fed him until he discovered that Echo had a proclivity for chasing and killing chickens. Kudos's to the farmer who took him to a humane society shelter instead of doing worse to him for killing his chickens. Echo was then at the shelter for a pretty long while up for adoption but no one seemed interested in adopting him. Finally the manager of the shelter called me knowing I volunteered for same and asked if we could help as they couldn't keep him much longer. Echo was on a count down. A couple of calls and next thing I knew I was driving him up to the rescue in Buena Vista to be adopted into a good home. The trouble was on that trip to Buena Vista, it enabled us to form a loose bond with each other. He remained at the rescue for over a month - still not adopted, and when the work day came up we discussed adding Echo to our family/homestead and decided if he was still at the rescue when we got there we would adopt him ourselves, providing he could get along with our current dogs. He did and we did. His aloof character, which made him difficult to adopt, was tossed aside when he met Carol for the first time. He gravitated right to her, gave a big sloppy doggy kiss and the deal was sealed. German Shepherds are known for their high level of intelligence and Echo is clearly no exception. He was not house broken, but learned in one day potty etiquette. He lacked obedience training but has picked it up very fast. His desire to please is so peaked he can hardly contain himself. He is totally at home on our homestead, gets along well and is learning fast. I have never seen any dog so absolutely thrilled to be in a loving home where he is loved. He has the potential to be the kind of boy that many people only have once in a lifetime. He will be our fourth once in a lifetime dog we have had. Never forgotten and a real stand out. I'm not sure how we rate so many absolutely terrific dogs, but we have been very fortunate and Echo is no exception. So our homestead has grown by one more very unique boy. Our 14.5 year old girl has been doing poorly recently so we fear it won't be long before we are a three kid family again. A day that we dread terribly. So, meet Echo, our new family member who has been repeatedly rejected, abandoned to a shelter, and who knows how he ever became a stray in the first place, and now a mountain homesteader, too. Some people when they no longer want a pet simply turn them loose to fend for themselves. Most end up in shelters and many of those end up euthanized. People have come many times to see Echo, but always left without him. After several months of being in the shelter/rescue system he now has a family who loves him beyond measure and will provide him a home forever. He obviously knows he is now home and if his excitement could be converted to rocket fuel, we could easily put a rocket into orbit.

The appointment of a fiscally orthodox technocrat as Peru's finance minister was welcomed on Friday both in Lima and internationally.
With the choice of Luis Carranza, president-elect Alan García is hoping to plot continuity with the current administration, under which Peru has registered impressive economic growth. The country's gross domestic product expanded by 6.7 per cent in 2005 compared with the previous year and is forecast to grow between 5.5 and 6 per cent this year.
"My government's goal is to ensure growth but also social equality through state and private investment," Mr García said. "Luis Carranza, who comes from a great international bank, will be a great support in this."
That signals Mr Carranza's difficult task – to balance the demands for greater social spending that Mr García's promises of "responsible change" have fuelled, with a need to keep a tight hold on the government's purse strings.
Mr Carranza joins the finance ministry from BBVA, the Spanish bank, where he was chief economist for Latin America and emerging markets. He is also a consultant to the Inter-American Development Bank.
He was deputy finance minister in the current administration of President Alejandro Toledo but resigned in 2005, reportedly over plans to increase public spending ahead of elections.
In Lima, the appointment reassured local analysts who remember Mr García's mismanagement of the economy during his first stint as president from 1985-90.
Fernando Zavala, the outgoing finance minister, called Mr Carranza "a first-class technician and one of the best economists in Peru", while Claudia Cooper, head of market analysis at BCP, the Peruvian bank, said: "There is no one in Peru more capable for this position."
The choice also cheered Wall Street, where Peruvian sovereign bond spreads tightened after Mr García confirmed the pick. UBS said in a research note that "markets will be pleased with this appointment".
But Mario Huamán, president of the main trade union body, expressed disappointment. "It looks as though Alan García is not going to fulfil his promise to change economic policy," he said.

Arctic Cat Inc. has revised its sales and earnings outlook for the fiscal 2008 third quarter ended December 31, 2007, due to lower than anticipated sales of ATVs. As a result, third-quarter net sales are now estimated at $155 million to $160 million, down from $228.1 million in the prior-year third quarter. The company expects a third-quarter net loss of $0.55 to $0.60 per diluted share.
Arctic Cat says it will report its actual fiscal 2008 third-quarter results on Jan. 23.
The Minnesota-based manufacturer now anticipates sales for the full year ending March 31, 2008, to be in the range of $645 million to $665 million, down from sales of $782.4 million in fiscal 2007. Earnings per diluted share for the 2008 fiscal year are now estimated to be between $0.01 and $0.07 versus year-ago diluted earnings per share of $1.15. The company previously estimated net sales for the current fiscal year to be in the range of $710 million to $736 million, with full-year diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.89 to $0.95.
"After reporting seven consecutive years of record sales, we are disappointed with these results and the sluggish ATV environment," said Christopher A. Twomey, Arctic Cat's chairman and chief executive officer. "Our preliminary third-quarter results indicate that while retail sales of Arctic Cat ATVs were in line with the overall ATV marketplace, retail sales of ATVs industrywide continued a year-long decline. Sales of Arctic Cat's snowmobiles remain on plan, while sales of our snow-related parts, garments and accessories are above plan, due to December snow accumulations in key regions."
The industrywide retail ATV sales slowdown has affected all segments of the market, except the large-displacement engine segment, which has shown modest gains.
In light of the current overall industry environment, Arctic Cat is taking steps to produce fewer ATV units in its March quarter. The company plans to cut its annual ATV production by approximately 10 percent during the fiscal fourth quarter ending March 31, 2008. "This action is in keeping with our aim to vigilantly align production and inventory with consumer demand," Twomey says.
Share Repurchase Authorized
Arctic Cat's board of directors has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $10 million of its common stock. The company has bought back more than 12 million common shares since 1996.
"This share repurchase program supports the company's commitment to increase shareholder value and reflects our belief that the stock represents a good investment," said Twomey.
Share repurchases under this program may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions from time to time and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. Arctic Cat has approximately 17.9 million common and Class B common shares outstanding.

Apple Patenting a Way To Collect Fingerprints, Photos of Thieves (appleinsider.com) 90
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Apple Insider: As published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Apple's invention covering "Biometric capture for unauthorized user identification" details the simple but brilliant -- and legally fuzzy -- idea of using an iPhone or iPad's Touch ID module, camera and other sensors to capture and store information about a potential thief. Apple's patent is also governed by device triggers, though different constraints might be applied to unauthorized user data aggregation. For example, in one embodiment a single failed authentication triggers the immediate capture of fingerprint data and a picture of the user. In other cases, the device might be configured to evaluate the factors that ultimately trigger biometric capture based on a set of defaults defined by internal security protocols or the user. Interestingly, the patent application mentions machine learning as a potential solution for deciding when to capture biometric data and how to manage it. Other data can augment the biometric information, for example time stamps, device location, speed, air pressure, audio data and more, all collected and logged as background operations. The deemed unauthorized user's data is then either stored locally on the device or sent to a remote server for further evaluation.

My 3 year old won't go poo in the potty. He's doing well not having accidents as far as peeing is concerned, but he holds his poo. So, I obviously have 2 issues on my hands, all revolving around poo'ing. I know the resolution for holding his poo, but I would like some advice to get him to go poo in the potty. Do I make him sit there until he does? ...at a loss...
Won't go poo in the potty
Comments (9)
I am having the same issue with my 3 year old. My ds holds in his poo too and will not go on the potty. Let me know what you come up with. I give him Milk of Mag. to help him go but he goes in his pants. I am at a lose to get him to poo in the potty. I have tried to get him to sit there until he goes but by then he is pushed it back in and does not have to go anymore. What is your resolution for him holding it in???
Hi, I am pregnant with my second child. I have a 3 year old little boy and this one is a girl!! We are so blessed!!!
You may think this sounds crazy, but it totally worked for my son. I don't know what it is about pooing on the potty, but it seems to be a common aversion for kids. First of all, he never liked the potty chair much, so we just bought the seat adapter for the big potty and a stool, which he loved b/c he was a big boy on it (don't know if you're already doing that or not). Anyway, what I did was bought a box of Rice Krispies...when I knew he needed to poo (you can tell by their face...LOL!) I would get a handful of Rice Krispies and put them in the toilet and tell him to go poo poo on the 'bugs'...being a boy, he thought that was hilarious and LOVED it! It was an instant hit for him. Of course, we always did a reward sticker chart and he'd get a couple of M & Ms or some kind of treat. Sounds weird, but it worked for him! LOL...kids...

Darn it, I keep commenting too fast...we used Cheerios for him to get his "aim" down for pee pee, which is where the Rice Krispies idea came from. Hey, whatever works!

If he holds it in, my doctor told us to give him a little bit (don't know exactly how much) of Miralax. (Miralax is pricey, but I needed it while I was pregnant with my 2nd and still have some. Cosco is best to get it from because of the cost comparison.) Anyway, I've only tried it once. I think I gave him a baby spoonful to about 3 oz of water. He went poo, but I don't know if it was the Miralax that did it. I'm afraid to give him any because I don't know the exact amount (and haven't called the dr.), plus I don't want him to go in his pants. (I know that's bad because that's being selfish.) I will have to try it again soon, so I'll let you know.
The other day he went twice, all by himself. I wanted to show him that there WILL be an award and that we were proud, so we took him to ITZ (which he loves). Well, he hasn't gone since. (That was a couple of days ago...I better give him the Miralax today.)
I've been having the same problem with my 2 1/2 year old little girl. She was doing great with peepee and poopoo in the potty up until this week. She started holding it and didn't want to poopoo in the potty. This morning we sat in the bathroom twice for 30 minutes at a time while she squirmed around not letting the poopoo come out. Finally, after she had been stripped of all clothing....per her request....she said she didn't need to go anymore and got off the potty. I didn't put her pjs back on her and told her not to poopoo on mommy and daddy's carpet, so when the urge came back.....5 minutes later......she ran to the potty and finally did it! Basically, I left her without any clothes, undies, etc. and she was afraid she'd get in trouble if she poopoo'd in the floor. (Our dog poopoo'd in the floor a couple of weeks ago and she saw me get upset with the dog, so I think she was remembering that.) Anyway, whatever works, right! :) We'll see what tomorrow brings.......
Hello Moms, I have the same issue as you all. My 2.5 yr old is pee pee trained but is so afraid to do poo poo in potty. I have been trying rewards, bribes etc and it works once or twice but she goes back to holding poo poo and sometimes doing in her undies (no diapers). When she's home I put a diaper when I see that she is holding poo poo and she'll do the job. She started preschool (she's in the 'potty training' class) and I am stressed out that she'll have a poo poo accident at school. She already had one last week!:( Maybe I need to give her time, not worry about her having poo poo accidents at school, I guess I am just overwhelmed! Thanks for listening!if you have any tips for me, please do let me know.
I'll try the rice krispies and miralax ideas given above. Thanks much for sharing!!
Hi There - My DS is almost 3 and refused to poop in the potty for 4 - 5 months. Every night he would ask me for a diaper and poop in it. If I refused, he would throw a tantrum and hold it in. I tried to get him to sit on the potty with a diaper, he wouldn't do it. I tried to put the diaper on top of the potty and hve him sit, but he wasn't having it. So I continued to let him wear diapers and I begn to take longer to change him. I also purchased two books called Everyone Poops and Once Upon a Potty for boys. We talked about poop nonstop. When the diapers ran out, I didn't replace them. One day, he said he had to poop and I sat him on the bug potty while I went to go "find diapers." By the time I got back, he pooped int he potty. I was so proud of him that I rewarded him with a Chuggington DVD. We even took a picture to show Daddy that night. He loved flushing the poo poo and waving bye bye. I continued to bribe him with M&Ms for a little while. He wanted to poop in his little potty instead of the big potty, and I agreed. My point is try not to pressure them and have some fun with it. Reading books and talking about how everyone poops made it funny.
kimmikoo - The rice krispies in the toilet is the best idea I've ever heard. Wish I knew about that one earlier!
Mom to DS (March 09) - MTHFR genetic mutation & newly diagnosed Sensory Processing Disorder
Miralax is 1/4 tsp to 4 oz of liquid or whatever. You can stir it into yogurt, oatmeal, milk, juice, whatever, It's non detectable. I use benefibre instead. It's a fibre supplement and is undetectable as well. I give my DD who's 2, 1 tsp mixed into a drink or her minigo or something. The point of giving the dose in only 4 or 5 ounces of liquid is to ensure they finish it. I know moms that have to do a combo of both miralax and benefibre. The miralax is not like a typical laxative and won't harm your child or make them dependent. It draws water from the bowel into the stool so its softer and not dry or big and hard to push out.Benefibre is adding fibre in an easy and guaranteed way if your kid won't eat a bunch of prunes or fibre bars. It's also important to cut back any cheese, dairy and limit milk to 16 oz or less per day. According to pediatricians, children over a year old only need 2 cups of milk per day and even that's not necessary if they are eating a healthy diet and getting calcium and protein from other sources. We give probiotics too. We use Biogaia drops but you can use other ones found in the fridge of health food stores or Whole Foods, etc., Probiotics make a world of difference.
Poop holding can becomea horrible thing and there are thousands of posts on BBC about poop. Daily I read at least 4 or 5. I would search poop on BBC and get some tips.
Good luck

Location: Sustainable Perennial Crops
Project Number: 8042-21000-267-00
Start Date: Mar 14, 2013
End Date: Mar 13, 2018
The project will first elucidate geospatial patterns of genetic diversity in the primary gene pool of T. cacao using research tools of genomics, spatial genetics and bioinformatics. Cacao germplasm that have been collected and maintained in various ex-situ genebanks will be characterized using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. The generated SNP data, together with those previously obtained from the two international genebanks and other non-U.S. national collections, will be compiled and used for assessment of genetic diversity within and among collections. Completion of this work will allow ARS to have a clear understanding about the scope of existing wild germplasm and traditional varieties maintained in the non-U.S. national collections. It will also enable mapping of the geographical distribution of traditional varieties of T. cacao in the Americas using tools of spatial genetics. Second, diversity gaps in ex situ collections will be identified and filled through new collection expeditions, with emphasis on increasing representation from the geographical center of diversity. Based on the existing information, ARS collecting expeditions will focus on the Peruvian Amazon bordered by Brazil and Colombia, including Ríos Ucayali, Putumayo, Yavari, and their tributaries. In addition, landraces and traditional varieties which have a distinct genetic profile, specific regional distribution, and fine flavor, will be identified to support in situ/on-farm conservation. Resulting information will serve as a scientific baseline to support rational decision-making for future germplasm conservation and utilization. Finally, in collaboration with the curators of international and national collections, cacao germplasm will be evaluated for key agronomic traits, primarily disease resistance. Quantitative trait loci mapping, based on field evaluation, SNP genotyping, and genome-wide association mapping will be applied to discover new sources of resistance to major diseases. Approaches established and utilized in cacao will be applied to other tropical tree crops of major economic importance as they are identified and as conservation procedures are established.

If a window's maximum size is smaller than the size of the workarea, then
indeed the window cannot be resized to be maximized. And, even if KWin tried
to resize the window to its maximum size in such case, you'd still have no
guarantee it'd place it where you want.

Kicker, besides being a dock window (KWin::setType() + NET:ock), also does
or doesn't set its strut (KWin::setStrut()) which makes it reserve a certain
area at some screen edge. KWin sees struts of all windows and makes workarea
to be the screen area minus place takes by struts.
> I'm also not sure if this is something I have to do inside my app or if

Since this has to do with managing windows, I guess it should be done in the
window manager, hence the name. Since I assume that toolbar you're talking
about is just a normal torn-off toolbar of some application, this should even
be the Kicker case, and you're probably talking about
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26425 . If implemented, KWin could have
an option to automatically snap a torn-off toolbar of the active application
to some edge and it'd work for all apps, not inconsistently just yours.
If you'd be willing to give it a try, just say so and I'll give you some
hints. It would be a bit more complicated than just putting a call to
resize() at some point but it should be limited to the parts of KWin which
are no rocket science.
