Social Workers Hard to Find
Singtao Chinese Daily
January 11, 2003
The Chinese Community Health Services Association
held its January meeting yesterday. Representatives from a number
of Chinese social service organizations were present. In introducing
themselves and the work of their individual establishments, they
touched upon a problem that they were all facing -- social workers
who understand both Chinese and English are hard to come by, and
those who know the Fujianese dialect are even scarcer. Language
has created a substantial barrier between the many new Fujianese
immigrants in the city and their need for counseling. The social
workers at the meeting found this distressing.
Growth In Immigration, Equal Growth Needed In Social Service Profession
The rapid increase in the rate of Chinese immigration,
especially from the Fujian province in Mainland China, forced the
issue of the need for bilingual social workers to the top of yesterday's
agenda. According to the U.S. Census, New York City's Chinese population
grew by 53.4 percent in the past decade to a total of 374,000 persons
at present. In 1994, the U.S. State Department estimated that the
city's Fujianese population was about 100,000, and that it would
grow by 10,000 a year. If true, there are now approximately 200,000
Fujianese in New York.
This growth has thrown the organizations that
cater to the well being of the Chinese community into a frenzy.
It prompted the Lude Society's family and social outreach divisions
last November to establish the New Life Center [Xin Shengming Center],
which aims to help new Chinese immigrants, especially the Fujianese.
Within its first two months of existence, more than 40 Fujianese
immigrants showed up for counseling, overwhelming the center's two
full-time counselors.
"Fujianese immigrants have a strong need for
social workers, but the majority of those who operate within the
confines of the Chinese community are Cantonese or Mandarin speakers,
and organizations that are able to meet their varied needs are small
in number," said the director of the center, Ye Guihua. For example,
he added, only three organizations in Chinatown provide services
for abused children, these being the Lower East Side Family Network,
the Chinatown Youth Council and the Chinese Planning Council. "This
is not enough to meet the demands of the Fujianese community," he
Problems Raise Difficulties For Aid Seekers
"Social service organizations frequently encounter
health and legal questions. Often, Chinese immigrants will only
feel relaxed and be able to give a true reckoning of their problems
to someone who speaks their language or dialect," said Asian Americans
for Equality social worker Zhang Huixian. "But such bilingual individuals
are hard to find, and Fujianese speakers even harder to find." He
related a recent encounter with a Fujianese couple. Originally,
the wife had come in looking for counseling, but as she spoke only
Fujianese, on later visits, she brought her Mandarin-speaking husband
along as a translator. "That took up a lot of his time, and was
not very convenient," said Zhang.
He is not the only one to have encountered this
language problem. The Chinese-American Cancer Prevention Council's
director of publicity, Pan Wei, makes weekly trips to Bellevue Hospital's
cancer ward to explain cancer treatments and provide psychological
counseling to its patients.
He said that because Bellevue is a service-oriented
institution, those he counsels include many Fujianese immigrants,
who as a group tend not to have health insurance. The hospital does
have Fujianese-speaking staff on hand, but there are not enough
to go around. And since the Chinese-American Cancer Prevention Council
does not have a social worker who can speak Fujianese, Fujianese
patients often have to find their own interpreters. "Sometimes they
have their children there to translate their Fujianese into Mandarin
for my understanding. I then translate it into English for the doctor's
understanding," said Pan.
Work Profession Will Continue To Suffer Lack Of Bilingual Speakers
There are many reasons why there is a lack of
bilingual social work professionals. Representatives of various
social organizations agree that the main reason is the failure of
university social work departments in attracting students of Chinese
origin. According to the Statistics on Social Work Education in
the United States, of the 1,733 students enrolled full-time in the
six recognized social work programs in New York City in 1970, only
10 were Asian. In 2000, although the total enrollment in these programs
had increased to 3,083, only 169 were Asian. "Most hard-working
immigrant parents ultimately hope that their children will take
up profitable fields of study and stay a respectful distance away
from the poorly paying but societally enriching social service profession,"
said Ye Guihua.
Pan Wei of the Chinese-American Cancer Prevention
Council believes that the lack of appropriate bilingual counselors
in the community is due to the fact that the Fujianese are recent
arrivals, and the younger generation has not yet had a chance to
attend college. "In such a situation, social service organizations
should not restrict their focus to new social work graduates, but
rather recruit college-educated students for training. Anyone with
compassion can enter the profession," added Ye Guihua.

" As I have no scanner and had lost the receipt, I emailed them back to ask if they would accept a fax? "
People still use fax machines? You don't need a scanner to send an image (they went out with fax machines). Any sort of digital camera will do. Snap it, send it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

More loyal (and certainly more cuddly) than the swallows of Capistrano, dozens of adorable dogs and cats returned to Shubert Alley on July 9 for Broadway Barks 13, the annual pet adopt-a-thon that benefits New York City's animal shelters.
Barks founders Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters welcomed a throng of animal lovers who stood shoulder-to-shoulder and foot-to-paw at the late afternoon event, which included the always popular presentation of adoptable pets by more than 40 Broadway stars.
"I'm so happy that the Broadway community embraces Broadway Barks each year and so grateful to our friends at Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS for joining me in producing the event each year," Peters told the crowd. "It's a sweet day for all of us who are working to make New York City a more humane place for animals. So many find wonderful forever homes, many of them with folks working right here on Broadway!"
Moore added: "You have all helped us make so many wonderful changes for our four-legged friends here in New York. We are that much closer to turning New York City into a no-kill community."
When Barks started 13 years ago it was the first time for the city's rescue groups to work together. And while adoption rates steadily increase, "we still have so much to do," Peters said.
courtesy playbill.com
"We need to continue to help raise awareness about spaying and neutering," she urged. "It is so important for the health of your pets and for our community. Look at all of these amazing dogs and cats. We don't need any more! Today, you will see how many perfect pets there are available for you to adopt without having to breed them."
Broadway favorites served as "celebrity dog walkers," presenting adoptable dogs of all sizes and several cats, too, sharing their frequently touching life stories while showcasing each animal's winning personalities to the Shubert Alley crowd.
Several Broadway stars honored their own rescue animals as they encouraged others to take the plunge. Priscilla Queen of the Desert's Nick Adamssaid he rescued his German shepherd-collie-greyhound mix, Lady, a year ago, and Spider-man: Turn off the Dark's Michael Mulheren spoke endearingly about Izzy, the pup he rescued seven years ago from the Humane Society.
"I'm the owner of a rescue dog and I can tell you firsthand it enhances your life," 2011 Tony Award winner John Larroquette (How to Succeed in Business…) told the crowd as he introduced two sweet, shaggy Maltese pups up for adoption. "If you have a place in your home and your heart, please rescue a dog."
Other presenters included Nina Arianda and Michael McGrath (Born Yesterday); Heidi Blickenstaff, Jackie Hoffman, Bebe Neuwirth and Brad Oscar (The Addams Family); Steel Burkhardt, Matt DeAngelis, Josh Lamon, Paris Remillard and Kacie Sheik (Hair); Kerry Butler, Linda Hart and Aaron Tveit (Catch Me If You Can); Bobby Cannavale, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Yul Vázquez (The Motherf**ker With the Hat); Reeve Carney, T.V. Carpio, Jennifer Damiano, Isabel Keating and Patrick Page (Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark), Victoria Clark and Patina Miller (Sister Act), Paige Davis (Boeing-Boeing), Sutton Foster, Adam Godley, Joel Grey and John McMartin (Anything Goes), John Benjamin Hickey (The Normal Heart), Nikki M. James, Rory O'Malley and Andrew Rannells (The Book of Mormon), Beth Leavel (Baby It's You), Judy McLane (Mamma Mia!), Will Swenson (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) and Bill Berloni, trainer to Broadway's four-legged stars and behavior consultant for the Humane Society of New York.
From lovable mixed breeds to purebreds, Broadway Barks featured an array of charming pets from 27 New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies. Those represented included Animal Care & Control of NYC, Adopt A Boxer Rescue, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Animal Haven, Anjellicle Cats Rescue, Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, BARC, Bideawee, Bobbi & the Strays, City Critters, Humane Society of New York, Husky House, Kitty Kind, Long Island Greyhound Rescue, Loving Touch, Manhattan Valley Cat Rescue, Metropolitan Maltese Rescue, Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue, Pet-I-Care, PLUTO, Russell Refuge, SaveKitty Foundation, Sean Casey Animal Rescue, Stray from the Heart, Tigger Foundation, Urban Cat League and Waggin' Train Rescue.
Broadway Barks 13 received two generous donations during the event. Gail Buchwald, ASPCA Senior Vice President of the Adoption Center presented a check for $50,000 to Broadway Barks.
And from this year's new sponsor, Newman's Own Organics, Nell Newman presented a $50,000 check to Broadway Barks. Newman also honored Out of the Pits, a pit bull terrier rescue organization that helps educate about the true nature of the American pit bull terrier. Board president Cydney Cross accepted the honor, explaining that Out of the Pits visits schools with their certified therapy pit bulls to teach humane education, while also helping to find new homes for more than 1,000 of these incredible creatures.
Jane Hoffman, president of the Mayor's Alliance for New York City's Animals, shared Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proclamation that declared July 9, 2011, as "Broadway Barks Day" in New York.
Peters, who returns to Broadway this fall in Follies, arrived early in Shubert Alley to sign her two children's book, Broadway Barks and Stella is a Star!. Both books, published by Blue Apple Books, include a CD with an original song written and performed by Peters. They are available in the Broadway Cares Online Store.
Broadway Barks 13, presented by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and produced by Scott T. Stevens, Patty Saccente and Richard Hester, was sponsored by the ASPCA, Newman's Own Organics and The New York Times.

Sweet apple cider is pressed on our antique Boomer & Boschert, 48″ x 48″ four screw press. The press, circa 1890's, was made in Syracuse, NY, and was originally used at a water powered cider mill in Pennsylvania. We acquired the press in 2006 and have made significant renovations to meticulously and authentically restore it. The press is line shaft driven and is currently powered by an electric motor. Visitors can watch all the steps of the cider production and will be intrigued by the noisy series of conveyor belts, gears, and belts used to move the apples through the process of being washed, ground, spread, pressed, UV treated, and bottled to produce farm fresh delicious sweet apple cider.
This historical machinery is one of the last operating four screw cider presses in New York State. It is designed to press over 1000 gallons of cider per day, using 25 bushels of apples to make about 75 gallons of cider per press. Cider pressing demonstrations, complete with informational explanation and audience participation, will take place on weekend days from 10-4 during our annual Fall Harvest Celebration.

Update: This is only for the European version of the game. There's no word on if the other versions will be getting the same treatment.
Update 2: It's still very unsure which version of the game this is for, but we all know it's not the US version, sigh.
Update 3: This is for the Japanese version of the game following the release of the game on February 26. We are sorry about that, we had though for a second that the game was already released Japan.
Original: The game hasn't released in the United States, yet, but it seems that SEGA has the downloadable content all figured out. When speaking on the games DLC, SEGA has confirmed its plan for releasing the future downloadable content for Yakuza 3 in a very elaborate manner.
Starting March 5, Sega will offer eight consecutive weeks of extra content for the game. Over the eight week period a total of 29 pieces of content, ranging from special missions to item packs, will make it out to players.

Pimco's Total Return Bond Fund Suffers $7.5 Billion Outflow in July
Bond king Bill Gross's $261.7 billion Total Return Fund at Pacific Investment Management Co. suffered a $7.5 billion net outflow last month, according to data from fund tracker Morningstar on Friday.
It is the third straight monthly outflow for the fund, on the heels of nearly $10 billion in redemptions in June. Clients have yanked $15.6 billion from Gross's fund in 2013 through July.
Gross's fund eked out some gains in July after a quarterly loss during the second quarter. But the July outflow signaled continued investor anxiety over rising bond yields and falling prices.
Pimco Total Return returned 0.49% in July, Morningstar said, outpacing the 0.14% gain on the benchmark Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Pimco is a unit of Germany's Allianz SE.
The fund is still a laggard this year, hurt by a record quarterly loss of 3.6% between April and June. The fund was down 3.08% in 2013 through Thursday, compared to a loss of 2.84% on the benchmark index, according to Morningstar.
Fears that the Federal Reserve will soon cut back bond purchases have sent funds out of fixed-income assets over the past few months. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield has risen about 1 percentage point since the start of May. Bond prices fall when their yields rise.
Gross didn't immediately reply to questions on the outflows. A Pimco representative couldn't be immediately be reached for comment.
Gross has taken great lengths to calm investors over the past few weeks.
"Those icy Atlantic money-market waters are likely to be with us for a long, long time," Gross wrote in the July investment outlook for the fund. "Have a cocktail, tell the band to stop playing dirges, because you're gonna be just fine with Pimco at the helm."
The last time Gross's fund bled was in 2011 with $4.97 billion net outflow. It was the first calendar-year redemption since the fund's launch in 1987. Gross's ill-timed negative bets on Treasury bonds turned the fund into one of the worst performers among its peers in 2011.
The fund attracted $18 billion new cash in 2012.
With five months to end this year, Gross faces an uphill battle to recoup $15.6 billion outflow through July.
Sentiment toward bonds has been rattled, especially as U.S. stocks continued to hit fresh record highs.
Some analysts say the trend of rotating out of bonds and into stocks could gather speed if the U.S. economy gathers speed. Investors may put cash into stocks as the prospects of stronger growth outweigh fears over the Fed to reduce monetary stimulus.
Stock Mutual Funds have raked in $9.2 billion this month through July 30, reversing a $6.4 billion inflow in June, according to data from TrimTabs Investment Research. Outflows from bond mutual funds have eased in July, but these funds still suffered $23.6 billion outflow. The amount was less than half of last month's record $59.4 billion outflow.

The rugby rumour mill is being kept turning by one story, and one story alone at present.
Sam Burgess, the man around which the English rugby league side is built, is said to be on the verge of crossing codes for rugby union, according to BBC Sport.
Burgess, who, at age 20, upped and left for Australia's National Rugby League—the toughest, richest competition in the sport—has admirers every which way you turn. The 25-year-old currently plays alongside his three brothers for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, but is said to be close to swapping the sun and sand of Sydney for the Roman spas and ramshackle Rec Bath Rugby Club call home.
The West Country side was in the vanguard of bringing in league stars at the turn of the century, with Jason Robinson leaving Wigan for what became an illustrious career in union.
With the backing of the mega-rich Bruce Craig and the salary cap set to climb in the Aviva Premiership, the temptation to switch to the 15-man code is strong.
Throw in the carrot of playing in the 2015 World Cup on home soil having just played in the 13-man version hosted by England, and there will never be a more alluring time to consider making the change.
The sums all make sense, which leaves only one question: Is Sam Burgess good enough to break into Stuart Lancaster's squad in time for next year's showpiece?
The answer is yes, and here are four reasons why.

The ingredients look pretty good to me, but what do I know? I can't read…
To be honest, I was more interested in the treats.
Of course, I performed a perfect "down" command before enjoying it.

How many single stacks needed for USPSA?
Hi all. I shot my first match yesterday with my Glock 19, but I think I want to step up to using my 1911 as I just can't see those 9mm holes anymore! I intend to shoot single stack so how many conventional mags would I need? 6?
Also is there a mag limit capacity to that division due to extended mags? If so what is the limit and which ones are good?

There's some other considerations, other than just mag capacity.
Don't take our word for it.

Seeing the holes? You are looking at the target to evaluate your hits? You should be looking at your sights to see where the holes are going to be!
When I shot single stack, .45 major, I carried four, 8-round mags, but I see lots of people carrying six.
You are allowed to load 8+1 if shooting major, and 10+1 if shooting minor, with a minimum .40 caliber for major. The gun must fit in a specified box, with mag in place, that would not allow for any sort of "extended" mag.

RickB what I found yesterday was that after I took 2 shots I was able to see if I needed another. On the fly I could not tell where I was hitting with the different A targets (as opposed to IDPA) which I am more familiar with. Seemed like they were are little more vaguely outlined.

Don't waste time evaluating the holes on the target, use a fraction more time on sight alignment and trigger squeeze. Be aware of where the sights are when the shot breaks and you'll know if you've hit where you intended.
The highest scoring zone on the USPSA Metric target is centered in just about the same place as the -0 of the IDPA target, so you can aim in the same place (but don't be looking at it after you've shot it).

In USPSA when there are multiple targets arrayed together, by the time I get to the 2nd (or 3rd) target I have seen my first shots in peripheral vision... and most of the time, if I see a B or C, I will place a 3rd shot on the first target... doesn't always work, and I realize it takes me another second or 2, but overall, my goals in USPSA at this point in my 'career' (lol, like the way I shoot and 'compete' could ever have the potential for a job? not) are more about getting as many A's as possible than speed. Part of my own-perhaps incorrect- strategy for long-term growth is that I try to do whatever it takes to make A's happen, no matter what. If that costs me time, so be it.
I am not at the point where I can always, reliably call my shots. Most of the time, yes, but not always. Therefore, when I realize that I didn't place a shot correctly, whether it's because I knew I pulled it, or because I saw the result, I go back and shoot another (unless it's Virgina count rules, of course), taking whatever time it takes to make the shot correctly.
If I couldn't see my shots on the close targets (my local matches rarely have targets beyond 50') and I were shooting 9mm, I'd definitely want to step up to .45.

If you read the target specifications, the scoring areas are not supposed to be visible at shooting distances.
Call your shot and move along.
Improve by improving shot placement and call, not by peering at the cardboard.

Yeah, if you're looking for the holes in the target during a stage, you're going too slowly and lacking confidence in your skill.
Watching where the holes go is a good way to practice slow fire trigger control, though.

Did anyone actually answer your question of how many mags you might need at a match?
If not, your guess of six is probably good.
But more is better, in case of a problem with any of them.
I have four 8 rounders and six 7 rounders in .45.
Five in pouches, two in back pockets and the rest in the range bag, just in case.
And there doesn't really seem to be any advantage to having one or the other for most courses of fire.

A long course of fire is 32 rounds. So depending on your skill and the type of course it is 40 rounds in mags will be plenty.

At a local match, there was a genuine 48 round stage being set up as folks arrived.
Quite a scramble for mags among the single stack gang, that day.
Lots of sharing.
Almost forgot:
One of the reasons having a couple of loaded mags in a back pocket is in case a mag jumps out of a pouch and plumb disappears during a stage.
Happens more often than you'd think, especially when hopping up from prone or a squat to upright and running.

single stack class in USPSA
As rmantoo said: "overall, my goals in USPSA at this point in my 'career' are more about getting as many A's as possible than speed. Part of my own-perhaps incorrect- strategy for long-term growth is that I try to do whatever it takes to make A's happen, no matter what. If that costs me time, so be it."
That's the way I've always shot IPSC/USPSA and I started in 1978 . . .
When I shoot a match in the single stack class, I use the Colt Combat Commander in .45 that I shot my first match with. With one magazine in the gun, four magazines in mag pouches and usually one in a back pocket just in case I need it.
When I first started, I'd buy 10 GI spec mags from Sherwood Distributors, and then function test and adjust them. Usually ended up with 6 of 10 that I could use in a match, and the rest of them were relegated to use as practice mags. I did that a couple of times, to buy replacements as the old ones wore out. I think I still have a few of those around someplace.
I also bought a bunch of magazines sold by Pachmyr (which I think were actually made by Randall but I'm not sure). That was about 30 years ago. I still have all of them. Those were good magazines. I should've bought more.
I bought a bunch of Wilson 47Ds when they came out and I'm still using them. I also have some Chip McCormick Shooting Star mags that work pretty well, although I had one disassemble itself after bounching off the floor at an indoor IDPA match. The follower and the spring shot out the top through the feed lips.
Last December I bought a Springfield M1911 in 9mm. I haven't shot it a lot, but expect to shoot a couple matches with it indoors this winter. I have a couple of Springfield mags that came with the gun, and I bought some Wilson ETMs in 9mm. Research has suggested that magazines from Dawson or Tripp Research might work well too if what I have proves to be a problem.
You can only learn from experience if you pay attention!

'cept I run them perfect (but defunct) Mag-Packs
Eight 8-rd (can recommend those from Wilson and McCormick; don't go cheap) magazines.
Six on your belt, one in the gun, and the one yopu stripped the top rd from to initially load your gun placed in a convenient pants pocket.
And more is even better, except I run out of waist.......

I can remember having to go for my barney mag, twice, when I started with four on the belt. Maybe you can never have too many, but I can't reach more than four.

Equity Rating Changes You Should Know About
Another week, another batch of European equity ratings changes. Here's a selection of Monday's top picks:
- It's all looking rather grim in the long term for European oil refining stocks according to Deutsche Bank. "Declining demand, excess capacity, looming carbon costs, increasing international competition in products and volatile feedstock markets; European refiners face ever increasing challenges to remain profitable," said Deutsche Bank. The brokerage has subsequently downgraded Petroplus to hold from buy. It sees some small respite for European refining in 2012, but overall the outlook is not rosy. However, Deutsche Bank has upgraded Hellenic Petroleum to buy from hold. It sees a number of catalysts this year, namely the start-up of its refinery upgrade at Elefsina.
- It's also not looking too bright for European airlines although much of the bad news for 2012 appears to be priced in says Citigroup. It expects profitability for airlines in 2011 to have increased over 2010 but mostly in the first nine months. It suggests fourth-quarter 2011 profitability to be sharply down. Citi has downgraded Scandinavian Airlines System and Aegean Airlines to neutral from buy due to above-average risk to earnings.
- Meanwhile, Weir Group was leading the FTSE 100′s decliners Monday after being downgraded to neutral from overweight by JPMorgan Cazenove. JPMorgan expects uncertainty about near-term development in demand for fracking equipment to weigh on the share price. However the long-term outlook remains bright for Weir, the brokerage said. "We expect the group to deliver double digit earnings growth in both 2012 and 2013 on the back of strong performance in both the minerals and 'oil and gas' divisions."
- Sticking with JPMorgan, the brokerage downgraded Thales to underweight from neutral. It does not expect the company to meet its 2012 margin guidance of 6% and has cut its earnings per share estimates for 2012 and 2013. JPMorgan remains cautious of Thales' performance ahead of a difficult macro environment. Overall, JPMorgan sees no need to own the defense sector stock for another six-to-12 months, until budget visibility starts to improve.
- And finally, UBS has upgraded global equities to overweight from neutral in its 'weekly weight watcher'. UBS said: "Risk assets should out-perform for 2012 as a whole." However, UBS still sees challenges due to the financial stresses in the euro zone and the lack of visibility. "Alongside an upgrade to risk assets, it makes sense to increase exposure to implied equity volatility, particularly given its prevailing low levels," UBS said.

Skill Level Beginner
The biggest difference between the Expert Edit Mode and the other editing modes in Elements is that in Expert Edit Mode you get to control the corrections that you make to an image. But sometimes even when you're in Expert Edit Mode you may be in a hurry or you may be working with a snapshot that doesn't have to be just perfect, and in that case you may prefer to use some of the auto correction controls. To show you those I've made six copies of the same photo and put each copy on a separate layer here in this image. I'll start with the top layer selected, and I'm going to apply Auto Levels to this layer.
Auto Levels is a command that's located under the Enhance menu right here. I'll apply this command by clicking on it in this menu, and that's all there is to it. Now what is it that Auto Levels does? You remember from an earlier movie about Levels Adjustment layers that one of the things that a Levels Adjustment will do is adjust the contrast in an image and that's what's happened here. Auto Levels has taken the darkest pixels in the image and pushed those to black, those are probably down here, and the brightest pixels and pushed those to white, increasing the range of grays in between. And that gives the photo a little more contrast.
So if I were to turn the Auto Levels layer off to compare it to the original, there's where I started and there's where I'm now, but at the same time Auto Levels sometimes changes the color of an image a bit. If you don't like the resulting color after applying Auto Levels then you can try another Auto command Auto Contrast. That works the same way as Auto Levels except that it has a more minimal effect on color. So I'm going to turn Auto Levels off here and select the Auto Contrast layer, which is just another copy of the image that we started with.
I'll go up to the Enhance menu and down to Auto Contrast, and release my mouse. Now this time there is hardly a change to the image, there certainly is no change to color. To compare this to the original I'll turn Auto Contrast off. There is the original, there it is with Auto Contrast. So in this case Auto Contrast doesn't do much but it also doesn't add that color cast that we got with Auto Levels. I'm going to make the Auto Contrast layer invisible and select the Auto Color Correction layer, just another copy of the original, and this time I'm going to apply a third Auto command, Auto Color Correction.
I'll go to the Enhance menu and I'll choose Auto Color Correction. And you can see that the color really did change there. If I go and turn off the Auto Color Correction layer, that's where we started, and that's where we ended up. In this case Auto Color Correction made the entire image more cool, or toward the blue end of the spectrum, rather than as warm as it was to start with like this. And finally, let's see what Auto Smart Fix does. Auto Smart Fix attempts to adjust both color and lighting. I'll select my Auto Smart Fix layer, just another copy of the original now, and go up to the Enhance menu, and down to the first option there, Auto Smart Fix.
In this case that's brightened the image and changed the color a bit. So here is where the image started and here's how it looks with Auto Smart Fix. If you like Auto Smart Fix but you want more control over what it does then there's one more option for you to try and that is Adjust Smart Fix. So I'll turn that Auto Smart Fix layer off, I'll go down to my last duplicate of my original image, selecting the Adjust Smart Fix layer, and I'll go up to the Enhance menu one more time and choose Adjust Smart Fix.
I'll move that dialog out of the way, and here I can either just click Auto or I can drag the Fix Amount Slider, which applies a Smart Fix adjustment to color and lighting that lets me control how much of that adjustment I want in the image. I can turn the Preview checkbox on and off to see where I started and where I am now with this adjustment. And when I'm satisfied I'll click OK. So there are five Auto options for you to try, the next time you're in a hurry and want a quick fix for color and/or lighting in a photograph.

Status: RecruitingPhase: Phase 1/Phase 2Diagnosis: Leukemia/MDSNCT ID: NCT01066663
(View complete trial on ClinicalTrials.gov)
DFCI Protocol ID: 09-421
In this research study we will start by looking for the highest dose of pyrimethamine that can be given safely to CLL patients without severe or unmanageable side effects. This dose will then be used for a larger Phase II study to assess the efficacy of pyrimethamine for the treatment of CLL/SLL. Pyrimethamine is an antibiotic that is used for the treatment of certain infections. Previous research studies have shown that pyrimethamine may target a protein in tumor cells, called STAT3, which may be important for the growth of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) cells. Pyrimethamine can kill CLL/SLL cells in the laboratory, and we are therefore undertaking this study to assess whether pyrimethamine will result in clinical benefit or tumor responses in CLL in patients.

comment:1 Changed 3 years ago by akaariai
The get_all_field_names() method isn't safe to call when all apps aren't loaded. For example all reverse m2m fields should be in get_all_field_names(), but all reverse m2m fields aren't guaranteed to be available until all models are loaded (any model not yet loaded could have a m2m field pointing to current model).
Based on the report it is hard to decide how to proceed. Which use cases are broken? Are there other ways to achieve those use cases?
comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by timo
The use case is attributes on a model that includes list of fields from mixins. I can replace get_all_field_names() with local_fields to achieve what I'm trying to do. If we can't and/or don't want to make any code changes, we can close this. Since _meta is private API, I don't think it warrants a documentation note.
comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by mjtamlyn
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
I agree with akaariai's assessment of the situation. get_all_field_names() should fail in this situation. Consequently, closing as wontfix.

Greg Afinogenov shares a provocative, thought-provoking rumination on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and the author's playing with the form and function of fantasy literature. Referencing Cervantes' Don Quixote (and alluding, tantalizingly, to Thomas Malory), Afinogenov puts forward an argument for the way the series is able to inspire critical readings of the text. While some may take issue with his implied positions regarding literary/mimetic fiction, his commentary on fantasy and Martin's series are certainly worth a read.

The Mayor of Casterbridge
by Thomas Hardy
The Mayor of Casterbridge Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Among the rest of the on-lookers were Elizabeth and her mother – the former thoughtful yet much interested, her eyes beaming with a longing lingering light, as if Nature had been advised by Correggio in their creation. (16.23)
Elizabeth-Jane is completely natural, as the narrator keeps assuring us, but she's so beautiful that she looks like she could have been painted by Correggio (a Renaissance Italian painter). Which is it: is she like nature or art?
Quote #8
This, she decided, was the best position after all; and thus she remained till a man's step was heard on the stairs. Whereupon Lucetta, forgetting her curve (for Nature was too strong for Art as yet), jumped up, and ran and hid herself behind one of the window-curtains in a freak of timidity. (22.79)
Unlike Elizabeth, Lucetta isn't so natural. She is like an artist herself, arranging her own body to create the greatest possible effect. But she still has enough "Nature" in her to be embarrassed and shy.
Quote #9
It was an odd sequence that out of all this wronging of social law came that flower of nature, Elizabeth. Part of his wish to wash his hands of life arose from his perceptions of its contrarious inconsistencies – of Nature's jaunty readiness to support bad social principles. (44.8)
The narrator suggests that what Henchard did – selling his wife – wasn't a violation of natural or moral law, but a "wronging of social law." What he did was wrong, but it didn't violate any natural laws. And so "Nature" doesn't punish him, but instead creates Elizabeth, "that flower of nature."

Daily Journal
Controversy and Marshall Henderson have seemingly gone hand-in-hand since the guard arrived at Ole Miss last season.
But this time, he's the one getting an apology – from Mississippi State head coach Rick Ray.
After the buzzer of the Rebels' 83-62 victory in Oxford on Saturday, Henderson strutted off the court to a roaring ovation from the home crowd to celebrate with his teammates.
Henderson's path took him right past Ray, who had a few choice – and apparently profane – words for the Ole Miss senior. The incident was captured and aired live on SEC-TV.
The situation went viral after Saturday's game, and on Sunday afternoon the Bulldogs coach took to social media to accept responsibility. Ray issued a statement on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Taking blame
"I responded inappropriately to an Ole Miss player yesterday in our game," Ray wrote. "I reached out to coach (Andy) Kennedy immediately to apologize and subsequently to the player too.
"There is no reason for a coach to ever have interaction with an opposing player, ever, regardless of the circumstances. I was more upset at our performance than the player, I was totally at fault."
Henderson did not play in the first meeting between the two programs earlier this month in Starkville while concluding a three-game suspension levied during the summer for a violation of team rules. MSU won that game 76-72, but Henderson's 19 points against the Bulldogs on Saturday were a major factor in a 19-point Ole Miss win.
Asked by the Daily Journal if he had a comment on Sunday, Kennedy texted: "No. Thanks."
Ray is expected to address the situation further at his weekly press conference this afternoon. Both he and Kennedy may also face questions about the incident during today's SEC teleconference, which is limited to media members.

The french Street Artist MTO left Berlin.
In just 7 years the French Street Artist MTO, known for his greyscaled photorealistic works of art, mostly portraits, which stand out from the masses because of their high quallity, has become a respected artist in the Graffiti and Streetart scene. If you think of places like Oranienstr. in Kreuzberg where you can find the Boom Blaster, Angelina Jolie, Jack Nicholson, Albert Einstein and the floor in "Jenseits Bar" right next to one another, you suddenly realise the impact that his creativity has had on the face of the city of Berlin.
The last time we saw MTO was on the 11.10.2013, when he was painting a new work of art during the "Street Art Meeting" which took place at "Yaam Berlin". At the time, we, like most other people, had no idea that his decision to leave the city had already been made.
MTO says "Ciao Berlin"!
But his work became more relevant than it was visible on first view, after MTO published the "NILREB / BERLIN" video on the 24.10.2013 on his Vimeo, Flickr and Facebook accounts. "NILREB / BERLIN" is a great misic video, it features the "One Day / Reckoning Song" by Asaf Avidan, which was remixed by DJ Wankelmut and shot in October 2013 in Berlin as well as artworks from MTO). In the NILREB video you won't just see his artworks, you'll also see him painting his last work at Yaam. In the video MTO, makes it clear that he has already left Berlin, amongst other scenes that are showing that he left, he writes: "Ciao Berlin."
BERLIN / NILREB from MTO on Vimeo.
Interview with Street Artist MTO about his farewell.
A lot of people instanty asked if it was true that he left, why he left, he would come back and so on, so we asked MTO for a short interview, and we got the chance. Here is a little recap:
Why did youleft Berlin?
I turned my back to the capital for various reasons. Apart from personal reasons, some of the main reasons are: the long and hard winters, the fast and aggressive getrification, too much hipsters, more Street artists than art in the streets (and there is a lot of art in the streets of Berlin!)
Where are you going to? Is it France?
First I will travel a bit, I haven't decided where to stay. Maybe I will stay in France for a while, but i don't know it yet.
Will you come back to Berlin?
"Never say Never"
Will you still do Street Art?
Yes, i will. The aren't any reasons to stop yet.
When you look back to the time in Berlin, have you got any favourit memories? Will you miss anything or somebody?
My favourit memories are the years 2006, my first year as a Berliner, and the year 2008, the year where I started doing Graffiti.
I'll defenetly miss Kreuzberg,
- the cheap beers, food and rents.
- the sushi place at Adalbertstr.
- looking at the most famous Berliner Frisbee players in Görlitzer Park.
- the "Jenseits Bar" when Clement de Wroblewsky was the owner.
- the Jazz Jam Session at Edelweiss Bar
- the "Soul Explosion Parties" at Festsaal Kreuzberg (but only when it was there, the ones at Volkspark Friedrichshain and the new one at the Ex-Postbank are real shit )
- the Sunday DIY market near Treptower Park…
… just to name a few… and of course, my friends.
"Berlin was a big step and a part of me will always miss it, but the perfect city doesn't exist anyway and after 7 years living here, I think it's time for me to move on to another step. And even if I don't live there anymore, I might come back sometimes as a tourist." – MTO

COrozal american cemetery PANAMA --- contact Corozal through the AMBC contact form if you have details of family members or more info on the persons burried in the Corozal cemetery, as they are updating their files and they asked me to help if I got responses....
...I am a belgian living in the Verdun area of France , I live about 10 minutes from the Romagne sous Montfaucon cemetery of Lorraine --
I just finished taking pictures in the Meuse Argonne cemetery , and will continue in Hamm luxembourg ---Once finished I intend to go to Saint Mihiel , St Avold and Belleau -to take pictures of all the markers there ... I try to do the smaller british cemeteries on my way through France and Belgium ..
Sometimes adding a complete graveyard isn t possible , as often there are headstones missing due to replacement or the stones are in very bad condition and cannot be read ---but I always try to get them done as complete as possible , so please forgive me if sometimes a few pictures are missing --because it isn t always possible to do a return journey .
Sorry to have to ask, but...
***Please don't take my photos and claim them as your own work***
Allow me to post them.
and please don t add more names in the Meuse Argonne site , all the names are there-
Remember to double-click on photos to get a larger and clearer view
small contributions towards my volunteer work in Panama are allways very welcome--This is the website where you can add a few pennies
I play a barrel organ in the streets which allows me to travel each year to panama to help

Thank you so much for posting the grave marker of my cousin, Edgar Ray Watson, # 559 978 47.
Would you have any objections to the use of your photo on my family tree database, with credit to you, of course?

Could you remove the photo of his gravesite since I had posted the exact same image awhile ago. Doesn't make sense to have two identical images of the same thing. I am related to him through my mother's side of the family.

WebMD Magazine
From Your No. 1 Health Advocate
But, doing what I do for a living, I also remembered that shoveling snow puts enormous strain on the heart and back, as our WebMD news team has often reported.
My point here is not really about the benefits or risks of snow shoveling, per se. It's that weighing health benefits and risks is so dependent on an individual's situation and a point in time.
That's why the pervasive question at WebMD is: How can we help you better understand what is right for you and your family right now? Even though I have been involved in the creation of health information for more than 20 years, I still need constant reminders, refreshers, new facts, and insights to answer that question.
Enter Katie Couric. At CBS Evening News she has made bringing important health news to the public a critical part of her new job. People such as Couric make what they do seem easy and natural. But as she points out in this issue, delivering health news we all can use is a challenging combination of asking the right questions and translating the answers into practical information.
This is a passion we at WebMD share, and we've partnered with CBS to bring you the most relevant and insightful health news. As for Couric, read about her personal approach to health, doctors, well-being — and cupcakes.
One of Couric's insights is how much she values a good night's sleep — an observation shared by Entourage actress Debi Mazar, who tells us about her struggles with insomnia.
In this issue you'll also find information about heartburn and its clinical cousin, GERD (short for gastroesophageal reflux disease). About 20% of the U.S. population experiences reflux at least weekly — that's more than 60 million people!
And we look at MS (multiple sclerosis) through the eyes of Neil Cavuto, Fox News Channel's vice president of business news and television anchor of Your World. Cavuto has been diagnosed with both MS and cancer in his lifetime. What we like about him: He does not hide his MS, nor has he ever let it get in his way. Bravo.
Finally, we send you visions of spring flowers — minus the allergies!
Yours in well-being,
Nan-Kirsten Forte, MS
Editor in Chief, WebMD the Magazine

Bay Restaurant Group, the company behind the La Tasca and Ha Ha Bar and Grill chains, could be sold after receiving several expressions of interest from private equity-backed suitors, The Times has learnt.
The group, once part of Robbie Tchenguiz's leisure empire, is likely to become more attractive to bidders after it completes a restructuring in which the Slug and Lettuce chain will transfer from Bay to Town & City Pub Company, its sister organisation.
The restructuring is understood to have been precipitated by the decision of Paul Symmonds, chief executive of Bay, to resign and explore possible acquisitions in the

Different versions of rsync generally enjoy wide compatibility for
features they handle in the same way, but the Apple -E implementation
won't be able to exchange extended attributes with the rsync 3.* -X

You won't be able to preserve file flags and creation times since Linux
doesn't have them. On the other hand, rsync 3.0.2 with -X will preserve
getxattr-style extended attributes (including resource forks, which Mac
OS 10.4+ exposes as extended attributes); no patches are needed.

The University of Mississippi's effort to develop a new look for its mascot was placed on hold Tuesday when the Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics said it was not comfortable with the three finalists selected in a nationwide contest.
"The committee considered more than 300 entries and selected three," said committee chairman and law school professor Robert Weems. "We then asked the artists to make modifications to their designs, but after reviewing the changes, the group still was not enthusiastic about any of the three."
The three images were each human figures representing young, muscular male characters. Weems said the group did not want to release the designs to the public unless IT could enthusiastically endorse them.
The university had planned to make the three images available in an online poll later this week, asking students, faculty, staff, alumni and athletic boosters to vote for their favorite. The poll has been cancelled.
Athletics department officials said they will meet in the next few weeks to decide what steps to take next.

Dawn Von Graff used to get so sick she was begging the wishing well for help. She had pills for her cough and for the sniffles but nothing worked.
"Instead you try to fix the symptoms, but you're not addressing the real issue, which is your decimated immune system," said Dawn Von Graff.
Gene Stone felt the same way, so he sought some new advice.
"I was seeing lots of people who weren't getting sick … maybe I was talking to the wrong people, maybe I should be talking to the people who never get sick and find out what their secrets are," said Gene Stone, Author/Journalist.
His book - The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick - runs the germ-fighting-gamut.
"In a teacup…3/4 of a cup of pasteurized egg whites, and then add one little bottle of the DanActive yogurt, which is the probiotic," said Tony Japour, M.D., Miami, Florida.
Doctor Tony Japour wrote a chapter on probiotics, live bacteria found in yogurt, cheese - and bananas. Studies show they boost your immune system, and may slow some cancer tumor growth. They've kept Tony flu-free for years.
Do you like garlic? A new study shows people eating it reduced by more than half the number of days they were sick. It's also been shown to fight off the staph infection bug.
Of course - you could always move to one of the Earth's blue zones - spots with the least sick people. Middle-aged death is lowest in Costa Rica, and Okinawa, Japan has the longest disability-free life expectancy.
"The difference since I've been doing this has been unbelievable. I'm literally a new person now."
Dawn improved her diet and added pro-biotics, and hasn't had a cold in three years. Time to throw those pennies out for good.

Chill this delicious 'ensalada' and serve in a cazuela next time you have guests over. We prefer to offer them alongside other delicious tapas like Marcona almonds and slices of Manchego cheese, with a good glass of Spanish wine at hand!

Treasuries Rise, but End off Highs
A safety bid kept prices above water into the close, but diappointing auction results cut into gains
It was a pretty choppy session with prices more or less moving sideways. Treasuries held the opening bid, but the lack of follow-through buying stalled upticks early on. Mortgage-related sales underpinned pullbacks. By midmorning, prices jumped on misleading news of a truck explosion in Yemen. There was no terror connection, so prices fell back, this time led by retail sellers of bonds.
The data were mixed. A decrease in layoffs as suggested by Challenger, was offset by a drop in IBD/TIPP (a good indicator for Michigan consumer data). But a new terror threat -- an Al Qaeda audio tape -- renewed the bid. The focus then shifted to the mediocre 5-year auction results. The cover was only 2.28 (sub-average), but indirect bidder participation totaled 41.4% -- above average -- so strong retail particpation kept prices firm into the close.
Traders await more economic data this week after the market was battered by last Friday's stronger than expected nonfarm payroll increase. Goldman Sachs expects a much more moderate payroll gains of around 150,000, with perhaps a smaller increase in April to compensate for the one-off factors seen in March. and, Goldman says, such numbers would likely keep Fed officials from tightening monetary policy until 2005. Fed funds futures have priced in quarter-point rate hike by August.
Tomorrow: Import/export numbers and consumer-credit data will be released.

Interesting - I tend to regard most UI decoration as useless distraction
once out of the shop, but perhaps this is actually valuable beyond
the showroom.
