is reference type variable used in Programming language Such as C and C++ language as pointer to function which is used for hold the reference to Method and mainly used in event and call back methods. The reference of
method is changed at run time.If we wants want to use another class's functionality, as it without changing that behavior at all then we can used Delegation using HAS a Relationship.In another words, whenever you need to use functionality in another class without change that functionality, consider using delegation instead of inheritance.

Oak Ridge Boy JOE BONSALL wanted to honor his parents with a special song. He did - but it turned into something even more extraordinary
The good soldier who fought the war and the woman who loved him is a story as old as time," declares Oak Ridge Boy Joe Bonsall as he describes the remarkable love story of his parents, Joseph and Lillie.
"It's good to know that this kind of love, faith and dedication does exist ... and I believe it always will."
Joe's certainly doing his part to keep it alive. He's written a very personal song and book - both called "G.I. Joe & Lillie" - to share with the world the inspiring story of his parents' 55-year love affair.
It began when a boy from Philadelphia and a girl from North Carolina both left troubled homes in the 1940s to join the military - Joseph shipped out with the Army and Lillie enlisted in the Women's Army Corps. They were both 17. Before long, Joseph landed on Utah Beach as part of the D-Day Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944, and was awarded a Bronze Star for valor that day. He went on to receive other medals during World War II, including the Purple Heart for his injuries.
Lillie also was sent to Europe, where she was assigned to escort wounded soldiers back to the states. It was only through reading her handwritten accounts of those war-torn days many years later that Joe was able to see those troubled times through his mother's eyes. Indeed, his mother's words made him feel like he was there.
"Seeing her in an airplane at 17 or 18 years old," says Joe quietly, "crying about the broken bodies of the soldiers she saw ... That was one of the most gratifying things for me, meeting my folks at that age."
Joseph and Lillie eventually met each other in Long Island after the war and almost immediately fell in love. After five days of courtship, they were married and later had two children. But Joseph's nightmares and crippling injuries continued to plague him and left him with only one real friend - Lillie.
In his book and song, Joe shares the story of the amazing loyalty, sacrifice and character his mother gave to her husband through all of those years - even while they were residing together in a Veterans Center. That's where they were living in 1999 when Joe surprised them with their special song during an "Honor Our Veterans Week" concert.
He practiced the song backstage until, as Joe says, "I could sing it without crying." And, with his parents both watching from their wheelchairs, Joe did make it through the song - and the people stood and applauded for 10 minutes! The song later found its way onto the Oak Ridge Boys CD Colors, a collection of powerful patriotic and inspirational songs.
A publisher heard about the impact of the song and wanted to publish the lyrics in book form, which ultimately led to Joe's spending every spare moment writing the touching tribute to his parents, who are both now deceased.
"Not many people get to honor their parents this way," admits Joe. "It's a special blessing for me, and I hope it's a blessing for other people as well, something that might bring them closer to their own parents."
-- David Scarlett

When it comes to the internet, there's no to reason think that a phone with a quad core chip, HD screen and a powerful GPU shouldn't be able to present a stellar internet experience, and the Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't disappoint.
From the zoomed out web pages that offer still-legible text to the speed with which web pages render, even over 3G, we're big fans of this phone as an internet tablet.
The UI has been overhauled to present a smaller URL bar, a Forward button for easier navigation and an overall more fluid feeling to the handset.
There's only one flaw, and we'll get it out of the way first: when zooming into text you can't make it all reformat to fit the page the closer you zoom in. There's a decent level of auto-fit to be had when double tapping the words, but you can't select your own level sadly.
However, the rest of the sensation is excellent. Surfing the Internet on the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 was great, especially since the AT&T model is rocking LG 4TE.
Web pages are rendered in clear and crisp formations that lacks for nothing compared to a larger PC screen - Flash video plays right out of the gate, although we recommend you look to pick up the Flash Player 11 app before trying out all the sites (and make sure you have Flash player enabled in the settings as well).
There are a number of other little features we like, such as being able to browse in incognito mode in the same way as Google Chrome on the PC - you know, for the times when you're buying your wife a present and don't want her to see a copy of your web history.
The Chrome browser is now enabled on the Samsung Galaxy S3, thanks to it coming with Ice Cream Sandwich, so this means synchronised bookmarks over a PC, tablet and smartphone provided you're signed into Google, and this worked very well in practice - almost eerily so at times.
You can also perform that lovely option of saving for offline reading - should you come across an article you want to peruse on the commute but know you'll be stuck without signal you can keep track of it in a separate pane in the bookmarking section.
We've been fan of the bookmarks in Android for a long time now, and while we're a little sad to see the 'Most Visited' pane disappear, the History and visual bookmarking system more than makes up for it.
The option to change the brightness setting for the internet browser only is now gone, with the notifications bar option now deemed to be within easy enough reach.
We did like being able to have the brightness up for when we browsed, as it meant you could have a high power saving mode enabled when tracking through whichever hipster sites you frequent throughout the day, but have a colourful and bright screen for the rest of your activities, thus saving on crucial battery life.
There was another glitch that we found too: when pushing the web pages too hard (zooming in and out, navigating too fast) the Galaxy S3 internet browser would sometimes just crash and dump us back to the home screen. Not a huge problem, but one that does need to be ironed out.
However, the overall effect is stellar; if you're after one of the best internet phones on the market then the Galaxy S3 is certainly one of the best out there.

Lodi High School students, along with the Center for Land-Based Learning, helped restore nearly an acre of sensitive habitat along the Mokelumne River at the NRCS Lockeford Plant Materials Center along with Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
As a part of the Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship program, designed to engage California high school students in habitat restoration projects that enhance classroom learning, develop leadership skills and result in real positive impact for the environment, 30 area high school students will participate in five all-day field trips during 2012-13 to the restoration site.
Program participants plant native vegetation, remove invasive species, build and install nest boxes for cavity nesting birds and monitor plant survival while learning about how their efforts will enhance species diversity, stabilize the soil and protect the critical habitat of this riparian corridor.
Overseeing the effort are mentors from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, San Joaquin County Resource Conservation District, PG&E, East Bay Municipal Utility District and Vino Farms, a Lodi-based California certified sustainable winegrower.
"This project gives students the opportunity to participate long-term in a real restoration project, engage in positive environmental action, learn about careers, and develop skills that they can use through high school and beyond," said Nina Suzuki, SLEWS program director at the Center for Land-Based Learning.
PG&E's Nature Restoration Trust provided $23,750 to support this restoration effort. The Nature Restoration Trust is a partnership between PG&E and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to bring together public and private resources to conserve and enhance the natural habitats of fish and wildlife. Since 2001, PG&E has committed more than
$1 million to this unique, public-private partnership to support habitat and wildlife restoration projects throughout Northern and Central California.
By including California school students in habitat restoration, Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship addresses the needs for healthier land and more wildlife habitat, and the need to instill conservation and stewardship values in high school students. SLEWS is one of the few habitat restoration projects targeted to high school students.
"The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is extremely proud to collaborate with PG&E and a diverse range of community partners through PG&E's Nature Restoration Trust," said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and CEO of the foundation. "Restoring the health of California's streams, wetlands, and coastal habitats is a vital task that will benefit both our wildlife and our citizens."
The Center for Land-Based Learning inspires and motivates people of all ages, especially youth, to promote a healthy interplay between agriculture, nature and society through their own actions and as leaders in their communities. The Center for Land-Based Learning's SLEWS Program engages California high school students in habitat restoration projects that enhance classroom learning, develop leadership skills and result in real positive impact for the environment.

While writing this column and listening to the news this week, I spent a lot of time thinking about a woman named Talat Hamdani, who lost her 23-year old son on September 11, 2001.
We met in New York when I was working on a documentary project about forgiveness; she was one of our sources.
Despite losing her son, and soon after, her husband, Talat became an active member of the September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, an advocate for civil rights, and an outspoken supporter for the proposed the Islamic center; she's a Muslim, an American, and a victim of September 11, 2001. She has been through unimaginable pains, and yet she has dedicated her days to bringing about peace and justice.
We haven't spoken more than a handful of times, but this year, I wrote her a Facebook message to let her know that I was thinking of her, and encouraged her to keep inspiring us all with her courage and good works.
In response, she wrote, "tough times. Messages like these keep me going ... Hugs, Talat."
I just wanted to share a kind word with someone who deserved it, let her know that my heart went out to her for her sufferings. Not much different from my European friends I suppose.
Let's just hope that monumental tragedy isn't the only thing that compels us to show compassion towards our neighbors in the future.
*This story comes with thoughts and prayers for Talat Hamdani (mother of Mohammad Salman Hamdani, 23, killed on 9/11/2001), Lynn McGuinn(widow of Francis Noel McGuinn, killed on 9/11/2001), Trisha Wik (daughter of William J. Wik, killed on 9/11/2001), and all those bereft by the events of that day, around the world.

Verint is well known for its comprehensive suite of products that support agent performance management. My benchmark research into agent performance management showed that to properly manage the efficiency and effectiveness of agents handling customer interactions companies need to deploy smarter call routing, call recording, quality monitoring, workforce management, training and coaching management, agent compensation management and a comprehensive suite of agent-focussed analytics and performance management. Over the years Verint has built a portfolio of products, Impact 360 Workforce Optimization to support APM, at the heart of which is two strong analytics products, Impact 360 Data Analytics and Impact 360 Speech Analytics. With the latest acquisition of Iontas, Verint has strengthened its analytics capability even further by adding the ability to analyse how agents are using their desktop, known as desktop analytics.
The Iontas product can capture what agents are doing at their desktop; which applications they access, which data fields they use, how they navigate between applications etc. This allows companies to see exactly what their agents are doing as they handle different types of customer interactions. Analysis of this usage makes it possible to spot the most common ways agents handle interactions, and indeed which agents are driving best practises. Furthermore this analysis can be input for agent training/coaching needs analysis and even more broadly into how to optimize the process for handling different interaction types, both of which can have a significant impact on key metrics such as average handling times, customer satisfaction scores and agent performance metrics.The ability of the Iontas product to help optimize interaction handling processes takes Verint into a new area. My benchmark research into customer experience management found that while some companies had documented the processes to handle interactions, many had not done so and those that had recognised the need to improve. The Iontas product has tools to help companies map interaction flows, and then using the desktop analytics, companies will be able to optimize those flows and subsequently improve the desktop they provide agents with. Most of my research benchmarks show that the agent desktop is a major contributor to poor agent performance; pushing up call times as agents have to navigate anything up to 20 applications, reducing customer satisfaction as agents take longer to provide them with the information they are seeking, and increasing agent training times simply because the desktop is so complex. This advancement deepens Verint to further compete in agent performance management which is now becoming a significant demand to optimize the effectiveness of agents towards customer and financial objectives. So companies wanting to address this key issue would do well to assess how this new addition to the Verint Workforce Performance Optimization suite for agent performance management could help them in their efforts.

SIKESTON -- Sikeston city and Scott County officials will soon come to a decision on a proposed merger of 911 dispatching services.
Figures that should represent a "worst case scenario" for the cost to merge 911 services were presented by Sikeston Department of Public Safety Director Drew Juden to a group of city and county officials during a special meeting Tuesday.
Officials are now determining which single vendor has the best bid so they can have a firm cost to present to the City Council and County Commission at 4 p.m. April 2. City and county officials agreed to be ready April 9 to make a decision on the proposed consolidation.

Update on the Big Man Japan remake
The 2007 mockumentary comedy kaiju movie Big Man Japan is set for the remake treatment.
Here's an interesting remake, although one that we struggle to see actually getting made. Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay (Clash Of The Titans and R.I.P.D) have been hired to pen the remake of 2007's Big Man Japan (Dai-Nippon).
The original was released in 2007 and is a bizarre and wonderful faux documentary comedy kaiju movie about an ordinary man who is treated as an outcast despite him frequently having to turn into a gigantic hero to save Japan from a series of monsters.
Here's what the writers had to say in a recent interview with Collider: "We're doing an adaptation of a Japanese movie for Neil Moritz called Big Man Japan – well, the movie was called Big Man Japan; this will probably be called Big Man United States".
They added that "it's a great, crazy movie about a guy who is blown up to [huge] size via electricity to fight off monsters […] The Kaiju that constantly attack Japan. It's a mockumentary about this kind of underrappreciated guy and you follow him around Japan. It's a great, crazy, really fun movie".
If done well the remake could be a lot of fun, but it getting greenlit will perhaps rely on the success of R.I.P.D, Pacific Rim and Godzilla. In the meantime, be sure to check out Big Man Japan, it's a wonderful piece of work.

What Web Hosts Should Learn about Launching Products; Winning Business
Alarmingly, the failure rate for a new product launch ranges from an estimated 35% to 50% according to research reported in the book, Product Leadership by Robert G. Cooper. Considering that product planning, development and execution requires substantial time, labor and money, a high failure rate is disastrous for business. Yet, to compete and thrive in a changing environment, businesses must innovate or they face extinction!
Within the web hosting industry, new product launches are a mainstay for remaining competitive and up-to-date with new technologies. With typically small product management staffs, responsibilities for successful product launches fall across divisions and greater dependency is placed on partners. Overall, web hosts have a great need for a skill set that enables them to execute product launches like a pro!
At HostingCon 2009, William Toll, Director of Product Management and Sumeet Sabharwal, Senior Vice President of Global Delivery at NaviSite, will conduct an extensive how-to session titled, Launch Products like a Pro. This informative session will help you identify the new features, enhancements, and product/service requests that will take your product to the top. Through sharing real-world examples on successful product launches, this dynamic team, with over 20 years of product management experience, will show you how to develop a solid launch plan, prioritize your wish list, and select the appropriate vendors.
Whether you are directly responsible for product management or an executive interested in capturing greater business growth from new product launches, you cant miss this session!
But you will miss it if you dont register to attend HostingCon 2009 on August 10-12 in Washington D.C. Start building your skill set and developing a solid vision to complete and thrive in the future!Kelly Kleiner

text: Ali Frazier I...It's the machine-like forward progress of Joe Frazier hardly slowing to the rat-ta-tat free flowing fire of Muhammad Ali.. My wonder for this fight is more with Ali than Frazier. The man didn't fight in a professional fight for 4 years. During that time, his body changed significantly and he wasn't fighting enough to become cognizent of and to adapt to those changes. The fight shows the truth. The man had such resource that he could lose countless degrees of speed (hand, but more losing body/foot speed) and countless degrees of punching accuracy, both of which were more vital to Ali than other premiere heavyweights and still return to shake a glorious heavyweight division which had certainly nearly evolved past him. I can't understand how his body(nervous system, skeletal structure) is able to endure such horrible punishment and regenerate itself for the silly run he went on from mid-late '71 on to '74 in besting every top heavy in the world. Certainly he won many of his great fights during the '70's because of his uncanny chin and iron body that allowed him to absorb punishment and return with more fire than the opponent.

Teaching nurses to make optimum use of electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring is the goal of a $3.9 million research grant awarded to Professor Marjorie Funk, PhD, RN, FAAN, FAHA, of Yale University School of Nursing (YSN). This is the largest grant ever awarded to a researcher at YSN.
The funding from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health will enable Professor Funk and her co-investigator, Professor Barbara Drew of the University of California–San Francisco School of Nursing, to conduct a five-year, 16-hospital clinical trial. The study will test the effect of implementing new practice standards for ECG monitoring.
Professors Funk and Drew will provide an interactive online ECG monitoring education program they developed for nurses, and will use nurse "champions" in the hospital units to reinforce what nurses learn in the online program. The long-term goal of the study is to improve nursing practices related to ECG monitoring for more accurate diagnosis and more timely treatment, which may lead to better outcomes for patients.
Since the introduction of ECG monitoring in hospital units 45 years ago, the goals of monitoring have expanded from simple tracking of heart rate and basic heart rhythm to the diagnosis of complex arrhythmias and the detection of ischemia of the heart muscle. Over the same 45 years, there have been major improvements in ECG monitoring technology. The modern ECG contains a wealth of diagnostic information routinely used to guide clinical decision-making in hospitalized patients, and is noninvasive, inexpensive, and generally always obtainable. Despite the advances in monitoring technology, the need for human oversight in the interpretation of ECG monitoring data remains crucially important.
In hospitals, it is the nurse who is responsible for ECG monitoring. ECG monitoring equipment is complex and has the capacity to do so much that often nurses do not take full advantage of all the features. Errors and omissions can occur at any step in this process. Nurses need to have sufficient knowledge to carry out all these responsibilities in a way that maximizes the quality of patient care and patient outcomes.
"We expect that improved ECG monitoring will result in more accurate diagnosis and more timely treatment, which may lead to better outcomes for patients," Professor Funk added.

Actually I was going to ask you how you did that, and now I know. I think it's a very clever addition.ReplyDelete
It is clever, I just wish I was more controllable. Like maybe you could customize it to appear only every 3 stories or select which stories it should appear on. I saw this on another blog and thought it was pretty cool. But I notice that blog took it off in time. I'd like to see it start working and see how smart the suggestions are. I don't know. As cool as it is, I think it might ultimately feel obtrusive.ReplyDelete

Dang, still doing it. I hope it is just me.ReplyDelete
It does have a good feature about it though which is that it pulls up different stories each time. It is never the same three links.
Yeah, but it isn't working as advertised in that it should be pulling up relevant stories. Also it appears to be cycling the same small number of old stories. I'll get it the weekend to work itself out, but I'm not overjoyed with it.ReplyDelete

It seems to be working better, finding relevant stories, but I still think it clutters up the page and is distracting. It may not see Monday.

Ubuntu 8.10 Seeking Beta Testers
,----[ Quote ]
| Armed with new base elements such as Linux kernel 26.2.7, GNOME 2.24 and
| X.Org 7.4, Ubuntu 8.10 is due to be released by October. Beta versions of the
| add-ons Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu-Studio and Mythbuntu are also
| available for testing.
The wallpapers that should make their ways to Intrepid Ibex
,----[ Quote ]
| No more discussion on the new wallpaper that is probably going to be ported
| with the next version of our favorite OS that is going to be released on 30th
| October, 2008. Everyone agrees that the default wallpaper sucks! Ubuntu fans
| were asking for a better theme and a default wallpaper but it seems that the
| developers worked hard on how to make its apperance even worse. Here are some
| Intrepid Ibex wallpapers floating around the internet and honestly each of
| them deserves to be a default wallpaper for the upcoming Ubuntu.
First look: latest Fedora and Ubuntu betas really shine
,----[ Quote ]
| The developers behind the increasingly popular Ubuntu and Fedora Linux
| distributions announced the availability of new beta releases last week.
| These betas, which offer users an opportunity to get an early look at the
| functionality that will be included in the next major versions, are already
| highly polished and showcase the growing maturity of the desktop Linux

First Look at Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| The next version of Ubuntu's free Linux operating system, dubbed "Intrepid
| Ibex," is due out Oct. 30, but the beta release is up for grabs. Although the
| desktop hasn't been reshaped, the features tweaked just a little bit, and
| most of the work focused on compatibility and usability (not that those are
| bad things, by any means), there are still some neat new tools and tweaks
| that are worth checking out. Read on for our picture-filled take on the new
| Ubuntu.

3's 4G won't cost more
3 promises it won't raise prices on its contracts when it rolls out 4G services
The 3 network won't charge more for 4G when it rolls out its service later this year - distinguishing itself from rival EE.
So far, EE - the tie-up between T-Mobile and Orange - is the only network to offer 4G, but its contracts have tight data caps and prices that include the most expensive plan in the UK.
"LTE, otherwise known as 4G, will be added to 3's Ultrafast network later this year," the company said. "Unlike some other UK mobile operators, it will be available across all existing and new price plans without customers needing to pay a premium fee to upgrade."
Any customer on the network will be upgraded to 4G when it's rolled out later this year, "without paying a premium or needing to swap SIM cards or price plans".
The dig at EE is intriguing as 3's 4G services will be rolled out over the 1,800MHz spectrum that it's buying from its larger rival, offered by EE in a bid to avoid regulator scrutiny.
That will allow 3 to roll out 4G without waiting for the results of the ongoing spectrum auction, although 3 is also seeking permission from Ofcom to use its existing 2,100MHz spectrum to roll out 4G services.
The telecoms regulator is currently looking into whether it should allow EE's rivals to use existing spectrum to roll out 4G services without waiting for the auction results, with a decision expected this spring.

One of our favorites was "The Lanyard" and here's a little piece of it.
and I gave her a lanyard.
She nursed me in many a sick room,
lifted spoons of medicine to my lips,
laid cold face-cloths on my forehead,
and then led me out into the airy light
and I, in turn, presented her with a lanyard.
Here are thousands of meals, she said,
and here is clothing and a good education.
And here is your lanyard, I replied,
which I made with a little help from a counselor.
And bacon.
Then, he got another award.
Same day, count with me - that's two.
From the school district for being their 2010 Partner of the Year.
The Superintendent handed it to him. In front of others. More clapping.
And more cloth napkins, nice salad, probably chicken, and green beans almondine.
Definitely green beans almondine.
No bacon. But, still.
Trey got two awards in one day.
He had to wear a suit.
A tie, and a suit.
He almost always spills - but he didn't.
He looked handsome. And they clapped for him.
And I, who birthed four children and sometimes clean up dog poop.
Got my car broken into.
Like I live in Mayberry.
He had people shake his hand, and I have to go get a new drivers license.
It was a pretty decent picture.
I had on red lip gloss.
I can't pull that off anymore.
Odds are, this one will be less cute because, remember, the four children.
Plus two teenagers - one whom has prom this weekend.
Dark circles are inevitable.
And at the DPS office, let's be honest, they're not photographers.
Definitely no Barbara Walters lens.
And no photoshop.
He had his picture made by photographers.
There were probably candles on the tables.
Candles make everyone look better.
I have a car full of glass and no purse.
They didn't take the trash, just the purse.
Apparently, it stood out.
I can't find it most days.
But they could.
They also found a way to empty our checking account.
Perhaps they look like me.
With red lip gloss.
He had people wanting to meet him.
I had Sam, telling me to move my car so the new mentors that were coming for training wouldn't be scared off.
I did. Because, I mean, look at him.
So he has two new awards in his office.
They don't even have fingerprints on them.
I have a broken window, no purse, and very little cash.
And a car full of water.
Because, of course, last night.
It rained.

Kalus agrees to three-year entry-level contract
Monday, 05.8.2006 / 12:00 AM ET / News
Boston Bruins
By Jeremy Lemoine
Boston, MA - On Monday, May 8, the Boston Bruins announced that left wing Petr Kalus agreed to terms on a three-year entry-level contract.
Kalus, a native of Ostrava, Czech Republic, was Boston's second pick, 39th overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. After being drafted by the Bruins, the WHL's Regina Pats drafted the 18-year-old third overall in the 2005 Canadian Hockey League import draft.
In his first season in the WHL, he led all rookies in scoring with 36 goals in just 60 games. He also led Regina in goals and in points with 36-22=58 totals. Kalus played in six playoff games and registered four goals and one assist for five points.
"Petr had an excellent year in Regina last season," said Interim General Manager Jeff Gorton. "He led his team in goals and points as a rookie. He's shown a real scoring touch, he has some toughness as well and he's a very competitive kid. He had a strong showing in training camp last year for us and we look forward to seeing his improvement at training camp this season."
Prior to coming to North America to play in the WHL, Kalus played three seasons of junior hockey with Vitkovice in the Czech Junior League. In 91 games, he recorded 28-19=47 totals and 228 penalty minutes.
The 6'1", 192 lb. prospect will attend Boston's training camp in the fall with an opportunity to make the NHL team. In accordance with the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, Kalus will be returned to his junior team in the WHL if the Bruins decide to not keep him on the Boston roster.

Iambic Pentameter
Shakespeare's Use of the Iambic Pentameter and Other Poetic Devices:
When one reads the famous and inspirational poems of William Shakespeare, immediately the attention is drawn to the rhythm that is contained within the lines. Shakespeare was able to exceptionally situate blank verse (verses of poetry that follow no rhyme scheme) and free verse (verses of poetry that follow no particular rhythmic pattern) in the midst of a rhythmically driven section of his writings. He was also skilled at utilizing iambic pentameter as the standard method of speaking in dialogues between key characters, especially in a petrarchan sonnet – where he wrote about unachievable love between two main characters; his most famous examples can be found in the work: Romeo and Juliet. His charming and regular utility of this rhythm has attracted the attention of many poetic scholars throughout the ages, but, even still, some people are left asking, "What is iambic pentameter?"
The iambic pentameter is defined by its rhythm of pairing ten syllables for each line into five pairs. Each pair is known as an iambus and the style itself is a much renowned poetic rhythm, still emulated by poets and aspiring writers to this day. The modern lyric poem is particularly fond of containing this poetry structure, particularly because of the easy-to-follow rhythm that can keep the audience captivated throughout a recital. Often Shakespeare's iambic lines were spoken by relatively well-to-do characters, and were rarely used by the lower class characters in his work. Because of how standard such a rhythm was throughout many of William Shakespeare's plays, they often ran the risk of monotony. To create variety in his poetry, he often utilized breaks throughout the meter, and introduced characters or lines that spoke in a wide range of manners and meters. In addition to poetic devices that were specially created to break the meter of a long section of poetry, he was well known for experimenting with the placement of words and syllables throughout his free verses and blank verses. The placement was made exceptionally easy due to how the majority of his poems followed no rhyme scheme, and as such: allowed the placement of any word in any location so long as it was relevant to the writing.
In his unique writing techniques and break from the commonly experienced lyrical poems of his time, Shakespeare left behind a memorable legacy of poetry for all future generations to enjoy. With his experimentation in varying meters and styles, he is still widely regarded as one of the greatest dramatists and poets of all time.

Dickerson lifts Tourists with walkoff hit
Published: Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 11:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 11:28 p.m.
ASHEVILLE — Corey Dickerson's huge walk-off hit to McCormick Field's center field wall in the bottom of the ninth inning drew his fellow Asheville Tourists out of the dugout in their thrilling 8-7 victory over the Greenville Drive on Tuesday night. Just a few minutes after the celebration started, teammate Chandler Laurent snuck up behind him with a towel full of blue shaving cream and plastered it all over his head.
"They moved to the infield and the outfielders came to the middle so I just tried to hit something behind them," said Dickerson (1-for-4 with a walk), who is tied in the league for most home runs so far this season with 17.
Although the Drive scored the first run of the game as they had the night before, the Tourists tied it up in the second inning as Mark Tracy's double to center field scored Kyle Parker (2-for-4, two RBIs).
The Drive remained scoreless over the next five innings, while Asheville raked in four runs in the bottom of the third, starting with Rafael Ortega's (2-for-5) triple.
But things got a little too comfortable for the Tourists as the Drive hadn't thrown in the towel just yet. With two outs in the top of the seventh, Michael Almanzar doubled to right field to push Brandon Jacobs to third base. Christian Vazquez ripped a three-run homer the next play to put the score at a little less of an Asheville lead, 6-4.
Following an Asheville pitching change from Kraig Sitton to winning pitcher Bruce Kern (4-4, 2 IP) in the top of the ninth, the Drive tied things up at 6 with Drew Hedman's (1-for-2) two-run home run over the right field wall.
Greenville took its first lead of the game in the ninth as Hedman again ran in Henry Ramos with a single to center.
"In this ballpark, no lead is safe," said Tourists' manager Joe Mikulik. "We've got to give the Drive credit — they kept battling."
And so did the Tourists.
With the bases loaded, Parker was hit by the pitch, forcing Ortega in from third to tie the game at 7. With no outs and the bases still loaded, Dickerson stepped to the plate for the walk-off hit.
"We try not to give up; we haven't swung the bat well the last few days, especially for a good crowd like this," Mikulik said. "We didn't play good enough (July 4) for the support we had from the crowd, so this was a good way to end tonight."
The Tourists (39-43; 8-5 second half of season) will host the Drive (46-37) in Game 3 of the three-game series tonight at McCormick Field, starting at 7:05 p.m.
Greenville 1;0;0;0;0;0;3;2;1;—;7;9;4
Asheville 0;1;4;0;1;0;0;0;2;—;8;10;1

DEAR MISS MANNERS: What is the correct way to listen to someone? My usual practice is to maintain eye contact with the speaker and respond ("I see," "Mm-hmm," "Interesting"), but eye contact seems to make some people uncomfortable.
I have tried looking off to the side, examining my fingernails, contemplating my drink or staring intently at an inanimate object on the desk in front of me. However, I am concerned that these techniques could mistakenly convey that I am not listening, am bored or both.
GENTLE READER: Such actions will indeed be taken as an offensive lack of interest. Appearing to pay attention when someone is speaking is one of the cornerstones of real social interaction.
Miss Manners wonders if the discomfort you have encountered comes from those who have grown up interacting with their friends through a computer screen -- while simultaneously checking their email, browsing for discounts and playing solitaire. Eye contact need not be maintained continuously, and it can be softened by an accompanying smile or nod as appropriate.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am developing a presentation on social media to inform students of proper content in regards to the work world and future employers.
Currently, the most widely used standard is, "If you wouldn't want your mom (grandmother, or other family member) to see it, don't post it." However, I do not think this is adequate. Most families have similar moral and ethical backgrounds, and they may be more lenient with content than the hiring manager of an international company.
What would you tell students to use as their guide?
GENTLE READER: Is there something wrong with saying, "If you don't want a job interviewer or your boss to see it, don't post it"?
An impeccable alternative would be, "Would Miss Manners approve?" You will note that she has phrased it in the conditional so as not to encourage those who think it would be delightful to try to shock her.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: It seems that more and more TV commercials, TV shows and movies are showing actors talking with food in their mouths. I used to think that was strictly a no-no, but I am wondering if that is now considered appropriate.
I sometimes argue with my son over this, but it is hard to persuade him it is not correct behavior when we see it all the time on TV and in the movies. Please tell me it is still considered rude!
GENTLE READER: Not only that, but Miss Manners considers it foolhardy to allow your son to think, much less argue, that television is the place to observe model behavior.

Auður Hildur Hákonardóttir (one of our Icelandic hosts) has one of these looms in her house, a long term collaboration and research project she has been working on with other makers/artists. We didn't have time to see it in action.
Knitting was not introduced to Iceland until the 16th
Century. Needlebinding pre-dates knitting
Sound familiar? For those of you following my research, you'll know that this description also fits the technique one once used by Angus MacpPhee 'weaver' of grass to make garments .
Looping - knotless netting - weaving without foundation - needle-binding and Vattarsaumur:
Are all names given to techniques where you need a short lenght of yarn to work with, pulling all of your yarn through each loop to make the next. This sets them apart from knitting or crochet.

It brings a smile to my face every time a veteran band puts a new album out, and is genuinely excited to do so. Far too often, the old guard is happy to churn out the hits on an endless loop, putting out albums only when it's required as proof of life, and never with the kind of gusto and energy they showed at the beginning of their career. It's an easy trap to fall into, one that holds a lot of appeal when the later albums you make will have no influence on either your legacy or wallet.
Getting their start in 1995, Norwegian band Divided Multitude is coming up on twenty years in the music business, but "Feed on Your Misery" represents just their fourth album in that time. With all the pressure surrounding Progressive Metal artists, however, it's hard to blame them.
In many ways, nothing has changed in all the years rock music has been around. Especially in the world of progressive rock, the past is the past, the present, and the future. Several generations of bands have arisen in the wake of the originators, recreating the sounds they grew up loving, all the while many of the first wave of prog rock bands continued to soldier on, making the music that at one time was cutting edge.

The Need to Address Real Drivers of Healthcare Costs
The Need to Address Real Drivers of Healthcare Costs
07.20.11 | By
You should check-out the piece by Ken Thorpe that recently ran in U.S. News & World Report's Health section. The piece is entitled: Health Reform That Passes the Buck Is Short-Sighted. Writing on how we need to do a better job addressing cost drivers in healthcare, Dr. Thorpe points out:
"Rising rates of largely preventable chronic illnesses are a key driver of rising spending in Medicare and Medicaid. For Medicare, six conditions-diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, asthma and pulmonary disease, arthritis, and depression account for 40 percent of the growth in Medicare spending. These increases are all the result of the rising share of seniors treated for these conditions. In Medicare, the prevalence of diabetes has doubled since 1987 to 22 percent, while treatment for mental disorders tripled to 23 percent over the same period. Over 95 percent of spending in Medicare is linked to chronically ill patients-including 50 percent of Medicare patients treated for five or more conditions during the year. Yet, in traditional Medicare there is no care coordination at all. As a result, Medicare will spend $250 billion over the next decade on potential preventable hospital readmissions that effective care coordination could largely eliminate."
Dr. Thorpe is the Robert W. Woodruff Professor and chairman of the Department of Health Policy and Management, Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. He was deputy assistant secretary for health policy from 1993 to 1995. Dr. Thorpe also heads the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease, a coalition of hundreds of patient, provider, community, business and labor groups, and health policy experts, committed to raising awareness of the number one cause of death, disability and rising health care costs: chronic disease.
