Acquired: Acquired from Tampa Bay along with a fourth round choice in 2000 Entry Draft (Miguel Delisle) in exchange for Mike Johnson, Marek Posmyk and Toronto's fifth and sixth round choices in 2000 Entry Draft (Pavel Sedov, Aaron Gionet) February 9, 2000. Originally Montreal's eighth choice, 151st overall, in 1993 Entry Draft.
Drafted: MTL / 1993 NHL Entry Draft
Round: 6th (151st overall)
Darcy Tucker brought his grit and goal scoring prowess from the Lightning on February 9, 2000 in a trade and quickly became a fan favourite. The Leafs would make memorable playoff runs in each of his first five campaigns and with Pat Quinn behind the bench. The team made it to the second round three times and the third round once (2002). Tucker was a key cog in the Leafs eliminating Ottawa in the Battle of Ontario four different times in the NHL playoffs.
Listed at 5 foot 10 inches, the scrappy right-winger took on all comers in the NHL. Eight times he surpassed 100 minutes in penalties in his career. Tucker is 32nd on the franchise's all-time regular season scoring list with 319 points and 40th on the playoff scoring list with 21 points. Tucker is 17th on the team's all-time penalty minutes list with 756.
In parts of eight seasons with Toronto from 2000 to 2008, Tucker reached the 20-goal plateau on four occasions. By combining physical play with a scoring touch, his best season with the Leafs was 2005-06 when he recorded 28 goals, 33 assists, 61 points and 100 PIM's in 74 games.
Born in Castor, Alberta, Tucker was Montreal's eighth choice, 151st overall, in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. Tucker captured Gold for Canada at the 1995 World Junior Championship and he's a three-time Memorial Cup winner with Kamloops of the Western Hockey League. His NHL career from 1996 to 2010 was spent with Montreal, Tampa Bay, Toronto and Colorado.

Young Toby spends his days exploring the backwoods surrounding his UK
country home. His imagination not only supplies adventure but also the
exciting promise of lustful embraces and kisses with the handsome field
hand. When Toby's mother, a nurse, brings home a sickly yet handsome
youth, Cymon, to recuperate, Toby finds himself drawn to the older boy.
Their friendship, awkward at first, blossoms as each offers the other
much-needed comfort. Cowboys Can Fly presents a classic story of gay
adolescence, one that is as heartbreaking as it is triumphant in spirit.
"Woods and boys were born to be together; born to share each other's unquestionable beauty. A woods is that special place where a boy's quest to be spiritually free is born, a place of magic and mystery, a wonderful place to fall in love." --Ken Smith.

In Galleries – Ship to Shore: Photographs of Maine. Allison V. Smith, former staff photographer at the DMN, has a show of work from Maine at Barry Whistler Gallery
Holidaze season is over and the Barry Whistler Gallery in Deep Ellum is open again so you've got another week or so to get by there to see some recent work by AVS, one of many former DMN Photo Staff All-Stars whose work we dearly miss sharing with our readers.
This is Allison's fifth solo show with the gallery. Capturing the light and coastal life of Maine with her trusty Hasselblad has been one of the major focuses of her work for more than a decade.
The prints are 30×30, 40×40 and 50×50 so just seeing them on your computer does them no justice. Check the hours and drop in to see the fine prints. The show has been extended an extra week and closes January 18th.
Info about the show is HERE

more stuff i remember
i remembered something else from my childhood: 'horlicks'. it was a chocolate powder to stir into milk. i loved that stuff. under the cover, the jar was sealed by a thin cover of paper that i had to break open, which released the chocolatey scene. horlicks is also important because i was just starting to read, and noticed there was an r in it that my mother didn't pronounce -- she called it 'hollicks' because she had a new england accent. so it was one of my first clues that my family and i didn't speak standard network english.
another thing, did i mention this already? 'loretta young theater'. a tv show with the actress loretta young.

On the eve of the state track meet, Buckhannon-Upshur's Mercedes Dowell made her college decision Thursday by signing a letter-of-intent with Marshall.
Dowell will compete in the discus and shot put events for the Herd, and possibly the hammer throw.
"(Marshall) was the best choice for me," Dowell said. "I really liked the program and coaches there, plus they are working on building an indoor facility."

Buckhannon-Upshur's Mercedes Dowell signs her letter-of-intent to participate in track at Marshall on Thursday afternoon. Also shown are front row, from left, Tia Dowell and Willie Dowell, and back row, B-UHS head track coach Jackie Zuliani and B-UHS director of athletics Randall Roy.
Dowell said the location of Huntington also played a part in her decision.
"I wanted to be close to home so my parents could come and see me compete," she said. "That was really important to me."
Dowell plans to spend the summer training for the next level.
"I plan to continue working with my high school coach (Jackie Zuliani) to get stronger," Dowell said. "I'm going to lift weights and get into a routine."
Before she takes her talents to Huntington, however, Dowell has some unfinished business to tend to in the state meet, which begins today in Charleston.
This will be her fourth straight meet appearance.
"When you're a freshman and sophomore, there's not that much pressure and you can have some fun," Dowell said. "But once you are a junior and senior, you're expected to do well."
Dowell has finished in the top 10 in both the discus and shot put the past three years n Charleston. The Bucs have won two of the last three Class AAA state titles.
"My goal (at states) is to do as much as a I can for the team," Dowell said. "Our seniors want to go out with a state title.
"We fell short last year (finishing runner-up to Morgantown), so we're excited and looking forward to the competition."

Montenegro Interior Minister Rasko Konjevic said the bus with 46 people on board crashed some 30 kilometers (18 miles) north of the capital, Podgorica. He said the bus was traveling from Romania to Montenegro's Adriatic coast.
Police said the bus plunged from a bridge over the Moraca river during a rain storm and crashed some 40 meters (130 feet) into the ravine. A helicopter was used in the rescue operation mounted by Montenegro police.
Konjevic said "sadly, this death toll could climb further" because seven of the passengers were seriously injured.
The winding road that leads from Serbia in the north through the Moraca canyon and then to the seacoast is notorious for traffic accidents because it is narrow and slippery in wet weather conditions.

It is a two-volume collection of short stories involving six {{Artificial Human}}s known as ''Vendemiaires''.

I don't think so. Maybe it's not bad idea to document this in FAQ or
Configuration guide, but afaik it's not there yes.
However when I was searching for such configuration, I've been asking on
this list about this issue, so the discussion should be in the list archives.

Movie minis: Synopses of current releases
B- "The Dark Knight"
The vigorous revival of Batman on screen continues with writer-director Christopher Nolan's bold, grim sequel to his excellent "Batman Begins." In this outing, the Joker, played at peak performance by the late Heath Ledger, runs amok and deadly on Gotham's streets, while Batman (Christian Bale), a crusading D.A. (Aaron Eckhart), the rock-steady policeman Gordon (Gary Oldman) and Batman gal pal Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal) fight to stop the mayhem. And there is mayhem aplenty in this sleek, electric summer-action vehicle, though too often the overload and onslaught outmans character development and cultural commentary -- the heart of Batman's origins on paper. Still, what a ride, if you can hang with the repetitive, if spectacular, action sequences. PG-13. 152 min. (Dan Bennett)
C+ "Get Smart"
Mildly effective remake of the classic TV sitcom, with Steve Carell as the bungling American agent, teamed with Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) to stop a nefarious Russian crime syndicate from creating worldwide havoc. Moves back and forth from comedy to strenuous action, and the mix is unsettling. Works best when Carell is allowed to free-form his comic style. PG-13. 114 min. (Dan Bennett)
C+ "Hancock"
Will Smith plays the barely likable crime fighter, a moody, drunken inhabitant of the Los Angeles mean streets, who arouses himself from alcohol-fueled snoozes to stop bad guys from causing trouble and harming others, but often leaves much property damage and an overall surly attitude behind. A personality makeover from a do-good PR man (Jason Bateman) helps, as does a mid-movie plot twist. "Hancock" will likely please those looking for an offbeat summer escape, even if it can't fly at breakaway speed for the duration. PG-13. 92 min. (Dan Bennett)
B "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"
In following up the original "Hellboy" from 2004 and his Oscar-winning 2006 masterpiece "Pan's Labyrinth," Guillermo del Toro has outdone himself in both absurd humor and wild imagination. At times, there's almost too much to take in all at once -- everything from hulking trolls with thick tusks to tiny tooth fairies that look delicate but actually delight in feasting on human bones. The visuals are the star, of course. But the sequel, which del Toro scripted from a story he co-wrote with "Hellboy" comic book creator Mike Mignola, wouldn't be nearly as much fun without Ron Perlman returning as its wisecracking, beer-guzzling, kitten-nuzzling hero. Not only does Perlman completely get del Toro's twisted sense of humor, he thrives on it. This time, Hellboy and the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense must stop a power-hungry, underground prince (Luke Goss) from awakening a dormant army of indestructible golden soldiers. PG-13. 110 min. (Associated Press)
B+ "Journey to the Center of the Earth"
Summer action-adventure for families, based on the Jules Verne classic. Brendan Fraser plays a scientist who joins his nephew and a hiking guide on a somewhat accidental trip to the center of the earth, where they encounter an endless series of thrill rides and dangerous situations, not to mention 125-degree temperatures and a rampaging dinosaur. In 3-D (where available), it's like a long amusement park ride. A fun, even semiscientific (however outlandish) escape. PG. 89 min. (Dan Bennett)
B- "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl"
This third "American Girl" movie, based on the series of books of the same name, is the first to go to the big screen instead of direct to TV, and it's a comfortable fit -- particularly as the movie has more on its mind than most films for pre-teen girls. It contains useful lessons about decency, charity and perserverance, rather than the usual extolling of beauty, popularity and materialism. Plus, Abigail Breslin proves again she's wise beyond her years in the title role. Some of the humor is a little corny, and the ending is too neat. G. 100 min. (Associated Press)
C "Mamma Mia!"
The musical evil that is the song "Dancing Queen" inspired a hugely successful Broadway musical a decade ago and is now the basis for a big summer movie. Built around the music of ABBA, "Mamma Mia!" is a massive mess, but it's fun. The plot is wedged in among all the ABBA songs, and concerns a bride who wants to find out who her father was before she marries. Stars Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. PG-13. 108 min. (Associated Press)
B "Mongol"
A stubborn defense of old-fashioned, grand-scale moviemaking, this Russian production tells the story of the rise to power of Genghis Khan. The first of a planned trilogy, this story does not force Khan into conformity with modern sensibilities, but leaves him in a world that feels authentically raw, refreshingly archaic and strangely beautiful. R. 99 min. (The New York Times)
A- "Space Chimps"
The name combined with the G rating might have parents thinking they should stay in the car while the kiddies go into the theater, but that would be a mistake. It would, among other things, cause them to miss one of the better one-liners of the summer. The story concerns a risky space flight, one too dangerous for humans -- so chimpanzees are sent instead. And if "Wall-E" pushes the boundaries of what can be done in an animated movie, "Space Chimps" proves that the old formula is still pretty effective when executed well. G. 82 min. (The New York Times)
B+ "Step Brothers"
Anything-goes comedy reuniting "Talladega Nights" co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as middle-aged men still living at home who become step-brothers by marriage. Classic losers, the new siblings battle each other in every immature manner imaginable. Over-the-top comedy exploits the willingness of Ferrell and Reilly to behave like morons, and we are the victors, temporarily allowing our intelligence and common sense to take leave. R. 104 minutes. (Dan Bennett)
B+ "Tell No One"
This delicious contemporary thriller is "Vertigo" meets "The Fugitive" by way of "The Big Sleep." It's a French adaptation by the best-seller by Harlan Coben, and the plot is so twisty that by the middle of the movie you stop trying to figure it out. As a man tries to solve the murder of his wife and clear his own name, more bodies keep turning up. It's pure, nasty fun. Not rated. 125 mins. In French, with English subtitles. (The New York Times)
Slower to unfold, and even then slower than earlier Pixar films, "WALL-E" relies more on character development than the action scenes that drove such Pixar classics as "The Incredibles" and "Toy Story." Ironic in that the two main characters in "WALL-E" are robots who don't even talk -- but the artists at Pixar imbue their futuristic creations with so much personality that a half-closed "eye" or a shrug can convey as much as a sentence. And make sure you're on time -- the short film before "WALL-E" is another Pixar gem, "Presto," concerning a magician and his rabbit. G. 97 min. (Jim Trageser)
C "The X-Files: I Want to Believe"
The makers of the new "X-Files" movie have done themselves a disservice in coming up with the elongated title, "The X-Files: I Want to Believe." Really, it just invites a whole bunch of bad jokes which, unfortunately, are justified. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson do slip comfortably back into the roles that made them superstars in the 1990s, but the movie itself, from director and "X-Files" series creator Chris Carter, never feels like anything more than an extended episode. In deference to the show's many mysteries and twists, we won't give anything away here. We'll just say the plot involves a missing-persons case, severed body parts and some creepy hunts and chases through the snow. PG-13. 104 min. (Associated Press)

As I travel all across our state, I have extensive conversations with small business owners and workers about the challenges they face. While there is no doubt that our nation's unemployment rate remains unacceptably high, I have met with employers in Maine who have jobs available but who cannot find qualified and trained workers to fill these vacant positions.
In an effort to help provide resources to connect these employers with skilled workers, I cosponsored the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which recently passed the U.S. Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support. This bipartisan legislation streamlines, modernizes, and improves existing federal workforce development programs so as to narrow the "skills gap" between the position's requirements and the worker's training.
WIOA reforms and improves programs that I have long supported such as YouthBuild and Job Corps, which have proven track records of job training success, and the bill puts in place financial responsibility requirements at the Department of Labor to make sure these programs remain on track. WIOA also eliminates other programs found to be ineffective or duplicative, saving the taxpayer from poor job training investments. The bill also sets standard performance measurements for all programs, with a focus on employment outcomes and employer satisfaction in an attempt to make sure the job training programs continue to match up with employer needs.
I have seen how workforce training programs can not only help people find good jobs, but also improve their lives. I recently had the honor of speaking at the YouthBuild graduation ceremony in Biddeford. YouthBuild is a community-based program for at-risk young people ages 16-24. Students spend half their time attending basic education classes and half their time receiving job skills training in the construction field. It was an honor to offer these graduates some words of advice, and inspiring to see the doors of opportunity opening for them. The combination of skills, self-confidence, and determination programs like YouthBuild and Job Corps offer can help people overcome the setbacks, obstacles, and failures that are part of life.
In addition, the Department of Labor recently announced that Maine will receive more than $4.8 million in funding to help provide job training to workers in high-demand industries who, through no fault of their own, lost their jobs. This funding, providing through the Job-Driven National Emergency Grant program, will help create and expand partnerships that provide opportunities for on-the-job training such as apprenticeships. For far too many unemployed Mainers, the struggle to find a new job is all too real.
These resources will only help improve our country's workforce development system and put Americans back to work. While each state has its own particular opportunities and challenges, it is our responsibility to do what we can to help employers nationwide find skilled workers and create jobs.

you can just make a new rm

then you will do mv /prog/test.c /.recyle_bin/prog/test.c
if you call rm in the "recycle bin" then you call the real rm.

The California Court of Appeal have revived a lawsuit filed by a member of the Alameda County Republican Central Committee, challenging last year's election to that committee of a slate of Ron Paul supporters.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch had tossed the case in November, ruling that committeeman Paul Cummings Jr., of Oakland, hadn't filed it within the five-day period required after a primary election. The election was held June 3, 2008; the results were certified July 8, 2008; and Cummings filed his challenge July 25, 2008.
Cummings argued that the June 2008 vote wasn't a primary, as there's only one election for party committee posts, and the California Republican Party filed a friend-of-the-court brief on his behalf. The appeals court agreed in an opinion issued Friday, finding "that an election of party central committee members is not a primary election, and is governed by a 30-day limit to file a contest."
The appeals court remanded the case to Roesch's court for trial, where Cummings can pursue his claim that Vice Chairman Walter Stanley III, of Livermore, and six other "Constitutional Republicans" were ineligible for election to the committee because they hadn't been affiliated with the Republican Party for at least three months before their candidacy filing dates, and/or because they'd belonged to other parties within a year before filing, in violation of the state Elections Code.
Besides Stanley, other defendants in the case are committee members Casey Fargo and his wife, Lea Smart, of Livermore; David Latour, of Hayward; Deslar Patten, of Hayward; Christopher Kuhn, of Hayward; and John Bartlett, of Livermore.
All are affiliated with the Republican Liberty Caucus, a libertarian-leaning group often associated with former presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. Fargo also is a former president of the Golden Gate Minutemen, an anti-illegal-immigration activist group, and Latour is a former president of the Castro Valley Minutemen.
The appeals court also rejected the defendants' arguments that Cummings lacked legal standing to file the challenge; that the courts lack jurisdiction to police party committee elections; and that Cummings couldn't sue because he didn't challenge the candidates' eligibility before the election.
Cummings said Monday he's "very gratified by the results, and I feel very vindicated."
It's a tense time in the county GOP, he acknowledged: "I'm concerned that you have people on the committee who are ineligible to be there because they were not eligible to run for office, but at the same time they're there and you can't ignore that fact. We have to work hard and work together for the good of the party."
The defendants are represented by attorney Jerry Salcido, another committee member who succeeded Stanley as chairman in July.
"I don't think the court addressed the issues as they were argued in the papers, but we're weighing all of our options — at this point we're not sure how we're going to approach it," Salcido said, adding further appeals are "definitely a possibility."

On Wednesday night I attended, along with
other Royal College Presidents, a very interesting dinner
with Sir David Nicholson and Sir Bruce Keogh, on the role
the Royal Colleges could play in taking forward commissioning and
the delivery of quality service. It was held under Chatham House
rules, but gave me great food for thought which I'll reflect back
in future blogs.
What did give me considerable food for thought
was the article published online yesterday evening:
Why does mental health not get the attention it deserves? An
application of the Shiffman and Smith framework, by Mark
Tomlinson and Crick Lund. Mark works at the Centre for Public
Mental Health in Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and Crick
works in the Centre for Public Mental Health, Department of
Psychiatry and Mental Health at the University of Cape Town. What
they recommend in terms of increasing attention to global mental
health would equally apply to increasing attention to mental health
in the UK. So for those of you that don't want to look at the whole
article, their recommendations to increasing attention to global
(UK) mental health are:
1) Greater community cohesion and
international government structures need to be developed to
contribute to a more unified voice regarding global mental
2) A common framework
of integrated innovation is needed to ensure that global mental
health speaks in the language of national and international policy
3) For global mental
health to gain significant attention, a coherent evidence base for
scalable interventions that can be shown to have an impact at the
structural level – on economic development and human well-being –
is central.
4) A social
justice and human rights approach is important.
5) Current
innovative strategies for addressing stigma need to be evaluated
and expanded.
I would really like to get a
debate and dialogue going on this. I am going to a medical
conference in South Africa in April, and hope to bring back ideas
on how to harness all the work that is being done under the
umbrella of the International Advisory Committee to enrich the
global mental health agenda.
We have been in discussions with the Royal Society of Medicine,
about organising a conference in spring 2013 that focuses on global
mental health. I hope this would be an exciting and challenging
conference, that is not afraid to ask some difficult questions and
take us out of our comfort zone with regard to this topic. I'm
excited by the proposal, because I'm sure it would be a very
popular conference, and will keep you posted on developments.
Another paper that came to my attention
yesterday was one published in the Lancet, and covered by
a number of media outlets including BBC News. The
headline reported was that people with mental illness are four
times more likely to be a victim of violence. The research team
from John Moores University in Liverpool and the World Health
Organisation in Geneva found that, in general, people with any sort
of disability were at greater risk of violence, with 3%
experiencing violence in the previous 12 months. However, those
with learning difficulties were more vulnerable, with more than 6%
reporting violence against them, and adults with mental illnesses
were even more so. The study found that more than 24% said they had
been the victim of some form of violence in the preceding year.
Professor Mark Bellis, who led the study, said the results
suggested a wider problem. He said: "Lifetime exposure to violence,
and the proportions of individuals with disability who are directly
threatened with violence or otherwise live in fear of becoming a
victim, are likely to be substantially higher than our

How to Easily Take Donations Online
What tools can help you collect donations via credit card through your existing website? With a number of excellent options that allow even small nonprofits to accept credit card donations on their website – such as Click and Pledge, Network for Good, QGiv, and GiftTool -- there's no reason for any nonprofit to consider online donations out of their reach.
Remember, of course, that donations won't come pouring in just because you can take them online. Think carefully about how you will encourage potential donors to go to your website. How will they know that online donations are an option? How will you ask them to give? How will you integrate your online donation capacity into your direct mail and offline campaigns? How will you connect with donors after an online donation to make sure they have the receipts and acknowledgement they need? And how will you encourage online donors to become even more involved in your organization?
But this Tip focuses on the tools. What software can you use to plug online donation functionality into an existing website? In this article, we break down the options and a set of software tools that might work well for you. The accompanying article (see For More Information) goes into considerably more detail, so might be helpful if you're struggling with the terminology and considerations.
If you expect only a few donations, and price is a key concern
If you are just looking to get your feet wet with an online donation program, a tool that charges minimal fees when you don't get any donations might make sense
Click and Pledge (www.clickandpledge.com)
Offering reasonable functionality at very affordable prices, Click and Pledge could be a good choice, especially for organizations who only expect a few donations. The donation form can be integrated somewhat with the look of your website. The tool also has strong international support. They charge a $5 monthly fee, plus 4.5% and $0.35 of each donation.
Network for Good Basic DonateNow (www.networkforgood.org)
Network for Good is a low-cost but completely un-customizable tool that could be a good choice for organizations interested in testing an online donation program. The extensive Network for Good branding gives the donor little doubt that they have left the organization's website to make a donation on the Network for Good website. The only charge is a 4.75% transaction fee.
Inexpensive, but not focused on donations
There's several tools that offer very attractive prices – but they might be less attractive to your donors.
PayPal Donations (www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/xcl/rec/donate-intro-outside)
With no way to customize the look of or the fields on the donation form, PayPal's user experience is unmistakably PayPal. People's reaction to PayPal vary widely – it's widely known and trusted by tech-savvy donors, but often (wrongly) associated with fraud in less tech-savvy donors' minds. However, it's one of the cheapest ways to take donations. While donors used to have to create a PayPal account to donate, that's no longer true – they can simply use a credit card as a donor most typically would expect
Google Checkout (checkout.google.com)
Google offers their Google Checkout service for free to nonprofits they've approved for a Google Grant (their non-competitive grants www.google.com/grants/ for Google Ads and other things). This means that you literally pay nothing, including transaction fees – which is a hard price to beat. However, the flow isn't optimized for donations – it forces the user to create a Google Account, and to associate a credit card with their Google Account, before they can get on with actually making a donation. It's a flow that may be confusing to less tech-savvy donors – and if people don't donate, it doesn't matter how free it is.
Amazon Payments (https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/business/asp/donations)
Similar to Google Checkout, Amazon offers a payment tool optimized for e-commerce rather than donations… but at 1.9% +$0.30 per transaction, it's also very inexpensive. Like Google Checkout, donors need to sign in to Amazon and setup their credit card before they can fill out the donation form. This may confuse donors without an Amazon account, but Amazon is widely used enough that many of your donors may already have one.
Best values for all around good tools
There are a number of tools that offer solid features and a lot of customization at affordable rates. Some of the most widely used ones include:
Network for Good Custom DonateNow (www.networkforgood.org)
This, the second of Network for Good's donate options, is entirely different from the first. It's an affordable option for organizations that don't need complex customizations or their own merchant account. Their clean and professional donation form can be seamlessly integrated into each organization's website. It's $30 per month, and 3% per donation.
GiftTool (www.gifttool.com)
GiftTool is a solid choice for middle-of-the-road needs, particularly for organizations that need to support events or product sales as well as donations. They offer complete integration of their clean and user-friendly donation form into your website. As a Canadian company, they offer additional receipt and language options to support Canadian organizations. They charge a flat rate – currently $1.23 – per credit card donation, making them attractive to those who receive large donations, but less so to those who expect a lot of little ones. You can use their merchant account or your own.
QGiv (www.qgiv.com)
QGiv provides online donation (as well as event registration) functionality that is fully integrated into your site, with a lot of features including tributes and recurring donations. You need a merchant account, but they set it up for you. It's $20 per month, with 3.95% plus $0.25 charged per transaction.

In February, 2005 Grassroot Soccer (GRS) established a flagship site in Lusaka, Zambia. As a bustling urban center, Lusaka faces the staggering challenges HIV poses to many large cities in southern Africa. At the end of 2005, UNICEF estimated the adult HIV prevalence rate in Zambia to be at 17%, or 1 in 6 adults infected, one of the highest infection rates in the world. Although progress has been made over the last several years as the 2008 UNAIDS report now estimates Zambia's HIV prevalence rate at 15.2%, the HIV epidemic must still be addressed with vigor and compassion.
In the last four years, GRS has partnered with many local and international non-governmental organizations, private companies, and the government to implement its HIV Education and Life Skills curriculum. These include Africa Directions Community Center (AD), Barclays Bank, the Kalusha Bwalya Foundation, Breakthrough Sports Academy (BSA), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Engen, the Ministry of Education, Project Concern International (PCI), Africare, and others.
Our current projects include working with the Peer Education Team at Africa Directions, partnering with the Ministry of Education and Physical Education Teachers to deliver the GRS curriculum in Community and Government Schools, working with a group of promising young football players and coaches called PEP FC, and revitalizing the GRS programs in Mayukwayukwa and Maheba Refugee camps with the help of Breakthrough Sports Academy.
A staff of ten, including Zambians and Americans, manage the GRS programs out of our Lusaka office. This dedicated team, along with the staff and volunteers that have come before, have collectively worked to oversee the graduation of over 23,165 youth through the GRS curriculum and indirectly exposed an additional 68,000 people to HIV prevention messages in Zambia.
GRS has worked in partnership with several local Zambian organizations including Africa Directions/Bauze Community Youth Center, Sport in Action (SIA), Kalusha Bwalya Foundation, Zambia Scouts, SCORE, Chiparamba Football Club, Breakthrough Sports Academy (BSA) and the Ministry of Education among others to successfully trained more than 150 Zambians as GRS Educators.

Places to Stay in the North Lakes
Search and book hotels, inns, b&bs, guesthouses & self catering holiday cottages in Keswick, Borrowdale, Caldbeck, Cockermouth, Buttermere & Bassenthwaite.
All North Lake District accommodation from friendly budget bed and breakfast to luxury lakeside hotel with spa facilities.
See also caravan & camping sites, hostels, glamping, yurts, lodges, holiday parks, campervan hire & tours.
We think you'll like ….
Quick Guide to the North Lakes
The North Lakes landscape is one of dramatic fells and gentle valleys. Its 2 lovely small towns, Keswick and Cockermouth, are just 13 miles apart and there are several villages, including Bassenthwaite, Braithwaite and Threlkeld, and the even more rural Caldbeck, Lorton and Grange. There are 2 impressive lakes, Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake, the reservoir Thirlmere, and the exquisite smaller and quieter lakes of Buttermere, Crummock Water and Loweswater.
Keswick is a very popular tourist destination, a bustling market town in a fantastic setting between Derwentwater, Blencathra and Skiddaw and is the favourite centre for Lakeland climbers, fell walkers and water sports enthusiasts. Many of the shops here are geared towards outdoor activities and there are numerous cafe's, pubs and restaurants. There is a huge variety of good value, high quality holiday accommodation here: b&b's, guesthouses, hotels and self catering cottages as well as hostels and campsites. Despite the wide choice Keswick gets very full on bank holidays and at peak season so it's advisable to book in advance. For top quality small theatre productions visit the 'Theatre by the Lake' right by the boat landings on Derwentwater, just a very short stroll from Keswick town centre.
Derwentwater is the only lake in the area with motor launches. You can take a trip all round the lake or stop off at various points, have a walk, and rejoin the boat. Brandlehow woods, with 2 launch piers, was the National Trust's first land purchase. Rowing, sailing and motor boats and canoes can be hired from the 2 marinas on Derwentwater or rowing and motor boats from the boat landings near Keswick. Several water sports companies offer canoeing on the lake. Rowing boats may also be hired on Buttermere, Crummock Water and Loweswater.
Borrowdale, the valley at the southern end of Derwentwater, is a climbers' mecca as well as drawing visitors from all over the world to walk in its wild beauty, particularly in the autumn when the 'Borrowdale colours' are at their finest. Villages in the valley are Grange, Rosthwaite, Seatoller and Seathwaite, all providing places to stay. Some of the Lake District's most idyllic Glamping is available in Yurts and Bell Tents in Grange and Seatoller.
Back o' Skiddaw is the land behind the mountain of that name and contains the villages of Ireby, Caldbeck, Mosedale/Mungrisdale and Hesket Newmarket. This is a quieter, more traditional Lakeland but still offers a sprinkling of accommodation and pubs and walking amid superb scenery.
Cockermouth is a pretty tree lined Georgian 'Gem Town' at the confluence of the rivers Derwent and Cocker, surprisingly undiscovered by most visitors to the Lakes. Best known as the birthplace of the poet William Wordsworth, it is a good base for exploring the small northern lakes of Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere. It is famed for its large number of small independent shops selling a whole range of things, particularly antiques, books and speciality foods. Cockermouth is fast becoming the 'cafe culture' centre of this area and is also home to Jennings Brewery, the Kirkgate Arts Centre and the Taste Cumbria Food Festival (September).
Between Keswick and Cockermouth are 3 mountain passes – Whinlatter, with forest activities and attractions for young and old, Newlands Pass, and Honister Pass with its slate mine tours and, for the adventurous, a Via Ferrata. Bassenthwaite is also between the 2 towns and is home to the Lake District Wild Life Park and the Osprey Viewing Point.
There is plenty of history in the area too. A small selection are Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick, one of the finest in the country, the quirky Cumberland Pencil Museum in Keswick, and Wordsworth House in Cockermouth.

Alex Barlow enrolled at Butler because he wanted to learn how to coach from Brad Stevens.
Saturday, the 5-foot-11 walk-on hit the biggest shot of the game as the Bulldogs upended No. 1 Indiana 88-86 in overtime in Indianapolis.
When Indiana's defenders failed to converge on Barlow, he kept right on going through the lane, drove to the basket and hit a spinning 6-foot jumper for the winning basket with 2.4 seconds left.
"Not in my wildest dreams did I really think that would be reality," Barlow said after his floater touched every part of the rim and fell through.
Barlow, who spurned college scholarship offers to play his best sport, baseball, and to learn from Stevens, found himself in the spotlight after three Butler players fouled out.
The sophomore who had scored only 12 points in nine games this season and 18 in his college career finished with a career-high six points. He came up with a steal that led to a go-ahead 3-pointer late in overtime and finally won it with a shot that bounced off the back of the rim, straight into the air and finally through the net.
"I just figured I would throw it up to the rim," Barlow said. "If I missed it, I knew they wouldn't get a shot off."
Rotnei Clarke scored 19 points for Butler (8-2), which beat a No. 1 team for the first time in five tries. Roosevelt Jones had 16 points before fouling out in regulation, and Andrew Smith finished with 12 points and held national player of the year candidate Cody Zeller in check until fouling out.
Zeller had 18 points, including a layup to tie the score at 86 with 19.3 seconds left in overtime, for Indiana (9-1).
Stanford 75, UC Davis 52: Dwight Powell sat on the bench for all but two minutes of the first half because of foul trouble. He made up for it in the second half.
Powell scored all 20 of his points after intermission in leading the Cardinal (7-3) past the Aggies (1-6) at Maples Pavilion.
"Coach (Johnny Dawkins) told me to stay ready and keep my head in the game," Powell said. "I stayed engaged as much as possible."
Josh Huestis added 14 points and nine rebounds for Stanford. Chasson Randle scored 12 points.
J.T. Adenrele scored 23 points for UC Davis.

Big East breakup: The seven Big East schools that don't play major college football are separating from the conference many of them founded so they can build a league focused on basketball.
The presidents of the seven schools made the announcement Saturday, two days after their intentions were first reported.
The seven schools venturing out on their own are: Georgetown, St. John's, Villanova, DePaul, Marquette, Seton Hall and Providence.
Stanford 78, Pacific 43: Chiney Ogwumike scored a career-high 31 points to go with 13 rebounds, and the No. 1 Cardinal (9-0) routed the visiting Tigers (7-2).
Junior Mikaela Ruef added career bests of 13 rebounds and five assists for Stanford, which won its 82nd consecutive home game -- the longest active streak in the nation. Joslyn Tinkle had 10 points.
Pacific had no answer for Ogwumike, who was 14 of 18 from the floor. She pulled down seven offensive rebounds, which led to many easy baskets and allowed Stanford to outscore Pacific 21-2 in second-chance points.
USF 92, San Jose State 64: Mel Khlok scored 29 points to lead the host Dons (6-4) past the Spartans (3-7).
Ta'Rea Cunnigan led SJSU with 16 points.
UCLA 76, Saint Mary's 62: Danielle Mauldin scored a career-high 26 points but couldn't keep the Gaels (6-3) from losing to the No. 14 Bruins (6-1) in the St. John's Holiday Classic in New York.

LONDON: Teenagers and young adults who listen to MP3 players too loudly too often risk going deaf 30 years earlier than their parents' generation, a charity warned on Thursday.
Deafness Research UK said a national survey in Britain showed that 14% of 16-34 year-olds use their personal music players for 28 hours a week. More than a third of the 1,000 people questioned in the poll said they had ringing in the ear, a sign of damage to hearing, after listening to loud music.

KANDAHAR: Afghan troops have launched a counter-offensive to beat back a five-day Taliban attack that targeted several southern districts previously protected by departing Nato forces, officials said yesterday.
The Taliban's drive into Helmand province is the biggest test of Afghan security forces so far in the current summer "fighting season" and comes as the government is locked in a stalemate over the presidential election.
Nato's combat mission winds down by the end of this year, and Afghanistan's army and police are fighting against the Taliban with decreasing support from the US-led military coalition.
At least 800 Taliban fighters launched the offensive centred on Sangin district, a hotbed of opium production and intense fighting during the 13-year insurgency.
"We have been reinforcing our forces in Sangin in the past 72 hours especially in those areas where the Taliban launched their attacks," interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi told reporters in Kabul.
"We are currently trying to clear those areas which the Taliban attacked five days ago.
"We are going to intensify our offensives. We will use massive support, and air support as well. There is (already) a clear sign of a setback (for the Taliban)."
Sediqqi said that about 150 Taliban fighters had been killed so far, while local officials in Helmand said 20 police and 13 soldiers had died, as well as more than 50 civilians.
Sediqqi added the Afghan forces had not requested Nato assistance, but Nato said that its forces had provided close air support as well as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance help.
Several Afghan officials alleged that Pakistani soldiers and intelligence officers were fighting with the Taliban -- a common claim, as Kabul believes Pakistan provides covert support for the insurgency.
"Afghan forces had taken measures against the Taliban's spring offensive, but they were not prepared for the presence of Pakistani soldiers and the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence)," said Helmand governor Mohammad Naeem.
The last US troops pulled out of Sangin only last month, handing over their remaining bases to the Afghan forces who have now taken on full responsibility for fighting the militants nationwide.
The clashes in Helmand raised fears of instability as Afghan politics is stuck in a stalemate over the ongoing election vote count, with presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah alleging massive fraud by his rival Ashraf Ghani.
The UN's Afghanistan mission chief Jan Kubis warned on Wednesday of "rising tensions following the second round , including increasing ethnic overtones".
A contested election result "might lead to protracted confrontation with a danger of a slide into violence," he added. AFP

Simaudio: Reaching for the Moon
Simaudio's Costa Koulisakis was excited to tell us about the company's new "Reach For The Moon" trade-up program. For up to a year after initial purchase, Simaudio customers interested in moving up the Sim price ladder can receive a 100% refund on their well-maintained gear. After the first year, Sim owners can receive a 75% refund on their used gear. "It's a way to stimulate the economy, while building brand loyalty," he said.
Meanwhile, Simaudio was partnered with Dynaudio loudspeakers, and the duo created a refreshingly room- and wallet-friendly system. I was impressed by Simaudio's Moon CD.5 CD player and I.5 40Wpc integrated amplifier. Each piece costs $1200 and sports Simaudio's usual high-level fit'n'finish. These were making lovely music with Dynaudio's diminutive Excite X12 loudspeakers ($1200/pair).
"It's all about value this year," Costa concluded.
Tiffany are nice and made for

If physical or emotional roadblocks are preventing you from fully enjoying your life, it's time to experience Perfect Health.
For more than two decades, people from throughout the world have come to the Chopra Center for this life-transforming program.
Combining the wisdom of the Eastern healing arts with the best in modern Western medicine, Perfect Health is a total mind-body healing experience.
During your stay, you will not only feel pampered and revitalized – you will also learn tools and techniques that you can immediately use to cultivate physical health and emotional wellbeing when you return home.
Offered exclusively at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing in Carlsbad, California, the Chopra Center Meditation Weekend is a brand-new workshop led by Chopra Center master instructors trained by Drs. Deepak Chopra and David Simon.
In the beautiful setting of the world-renowned La Costa Resort & Spa, you will receive the tools and support needed to establish a fulfilling and life-long meditation practice.
For decades, scientists believed that once we reached adulthood, our brain was incapable of any change beyond than the negative alterations associated with disease and aging. We now know that the brain is incredibly dynamic, with a potentially unlimited ability to change throughout our entire lifespan. At any age, new neural pathways can be created and refined, and our gray matter can actually be thickened. The brain's plasticity is an infinitely precious quality that we can harness to move from habitual negative feelings states, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD – to an expanded experience of emotional wellbeing and happiness in our daily lives.
Meditation is one of the most powerful yet simple tools for altering the brain in many positive ways. There are numerous studies about the benefits of meditation in relieving stress and anxiety, improving sleep, and nurturing deep states of calm. Almost every week, new scientific studies are coming out showing more neurological benefits of meditation.
Here are just a few recent discoveries:
What happens in the brain during meditation?
The emotional effects of sitting quieting and going within are profound. The deep state of rest produced by meditation triggers the brain to release neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. Each of these naturally occurring brain chemicals has been linked to different aspects of happiness:
Releasing Emotional Toxicity
While the ancient Vedic sages weren't able to study the brain at the cellular level, they knew that meditation is a powerful practice for regaining inner calm and equilibrium. Ayurveda teaches that just as physical toxins, known as "ama," can build up in our cells, we can also accumulate mental toxicity in the form of unresolved anger, fear, doubt, cravings, compulsiveness, and emotional upset.
In meditation, we go beyond the domain of negative thought patterns and "stuck" emotions, into the domain of pure awareness. We enter the silence in the mind that is not imprisoned in the past or fearful about the future. This silence is the birthplace of happiness. It's the eternal now where all possibilities for creativity, love, and joy exist. And when you practice meditation on a regular basis, this present moment awareness expands into all your daily activities, allowing you to be a still point and remain centered even when life tries to intrude with all its inevitable ups and downs.
How to Receive the Full Benefits of Meditation
In our experience at the Chopra Center, learning meditation from a qualified teacher is the best way to ensure that you get the most from your practice. A teacher will help you understand what you're experiencing, move past common roadblocks, and create a nourishing daily practice. We have a global network of certified Primordial Sound Meditation teachers throughout the world. Click here to find a certified instructor in your area. In addition, because we believe that meditation is a primary tool for health, wellbeing, and happiness, we offer instruction in Primordial Sound Meditation at every event and program.
Our New Meditation Weekend Workshop
We have created a special workshop specifically designed to help people learn and experience the full benefits of meditation. Learn more here >>
If you enjoy guided meditations, the Chopra center's 21-Day Meditation Challenge™ is an opportunity for you to experience three full weeks of daily meditations from the comfort of your own home. Learn more here >>

Coffee Roaster Round-up
We laughed, we cried, we lost a few brain cells -- but we did gain valuable insight into home roasting! As a recap to our series on the four home roasters we currently carry (the iRoast 2, Nesco, Behmor and Hottop), Rob shares with us what he learned about the different models, how they compare and tips he learned along the way.
Compare: Breville Dual Boiler vs. Crossland CC1
In the left corner, we have the new Breville Dual Boiler; in the right, the Crossland CC1. Both machines were released this year, and other than having a difference in boiler design, have some similar functionality in terms of steaming and temperature control.
Watch Gail break 'em down for us -- features and specs -- and make lattes on each to show how their performance and practical results.
Crew Review: Krups Espresseria Superautomatic
Krups is entering the not-so-high-stakes game of superautomatic espresso machines!
Gail shows us the ins and outs of their Espresseria model, including features, specs, temp testing and making a very pretty latte.
Crew Review: Hottop Coffee Roaster
Now it's time for the Cadillac! Next up in our roasting series with Rob is the Hottop, a high-end home roaster that looks like a traditional commercial roaster was just shrunk down by 85%.
Watch as Rob takes us through features and specs of the KN-8828B model, we roast our first batch and then taste it a few days later.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Here in the US, it's about to get real around dinner tables from coast to coast -- a cornucopia of harvest victuals surrounding a lovingly roasted turkey. Personally, we take this opportunity every year to exact a little bit of cosmic revenge on the crew of wild turkeys that fervently chased us through the jungles of Costa Rica 15 years ago; some might say we hold a grudge, we believe we're simply trying to exorcise our demons.
If you're celebrating like we are today (with or without sweet revenge), we hope you have a fabulous holiday and take time to revel in all you have to be thankful for!
Brewin' with Brandi: Espresso Bark
If you haven't decided on your goodie bags for this holiday season, might we recommend you incorporate these ridiculously delicious chocolate and coffee bean confections?
Watch Brandi whip up a batch -- the recipe is super easy and located below.
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon butter or margarine
- 3/4 cup whole coffee beans (we used Velton's Bonsai Blend)
- 1/4 cup chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips
- Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper
- Combine the chocolate chips and the butter/margarine in a microwave-safe bowl. Using 30-second intervals, heat the chocolate chips and stir in between each interval until melted.
- Mix in the whole coffee beans and white chocolate; stir to combine.
- Spread mixture over wax paper and place in the freezer until set. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
The Lowdown on Portafilters
What is a pressurized portafilter? How about a non-pressurized portafilter? Is one better than the other? What about those bottomless portafilters -- are they necessary or just a random geek accessory?
Gail breaks down the intricacies of one of the most essential elements of an espresso machine -- explaining how they work, why you would want one type over another and what purpose, if any, bottomless portafilters have.
Compare: Breville Dual Boiler vs. Rancilio Silvia
In another of our not-so-infamous grudge matches, we pit Breville's new Dual Boiler against the tried and true single boiler Rancilio Silvia, featuring a PID retrofit. Other than having an additional boiler on its side, how does this new machine measure up against the Silvia?
Watch as Gail takes us through the usual specs, features and functionality and then whips up lattes on each to show how they practically compare.
Crew Review: Behmor Coffee Roaster
Is third time the charm? Will Rob finally prevail over Velton's expert roasting? Watch as he walks us through the features, specs and initial assessments on the very popular Behmor roaster, which is akin to a modified toaster oven (only with a shark cage inside!). We do a couple of test roasts and then we test a more successful roast a few days later.
Recipe: Orange Caramel Latte
Sometimes, the most charming (and perhaps disturbing) elements of reality can be encountered by simply entering two rather innocuous words into Google's image search. For example: Orange caramel.
Before today, we had no idea about the phenomenon these two words represented; and we're not quite sure whether we are better or worse for it now ... perhaps it's something we can only understand in 20/20 hindsight.
- 1 oz Monin Caramel sauce
- 1 oz Monin Candied Orange syrup
- 2 shots of espresso
- 8 oz steamed milk
Mix the sauce and syrup together well, add the shots and stir to combine. Fill with steamed milk and enjoy!

OK…let's have some Friday fun. If you lived in this home….or owned it as a vacation home…..what do you see yourself doing here? Remember…this is Summer Dreaming…..money/time is no object. Spill it….what would you do?
I think this is an amazing lake house….and I would definitely spend most of my time on the top floor. I imagine this lake house to be in the mountains. My favorite. Maybe Lake Lure………
My bedroom would be overlooking the water and I would have coffee each morning out on the deck while watching the sun come up over the water and listening to the water lap the shore.
I would have late night parties on the awesome lower level wraparound porch. Lingering parties {my favorite} where everyone stays late sharing their heart and laughing till they cry. Staying so late they may have to crash in one of the many bedrooms inside.
I would have a mahogany roustabout boat that I would scoot around on the water with…..docking at little town ports to grab a bite to eat and meet new people. {I love mahogany roustabouts!} Some people call them runabouts…..but I've always liked 'roustabout'. Here's a pic of one…..
Soooooo……what would you do if this were your house?
Happy Weekend~

The Canterbury Tales: The Reeve's Tale
by Geoffrey Chaucer
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used the line numbering found on Librarius's online edition.
Quote #4
'For John,' seyde he, 'als evere moot I thryve,
If that I may, yon wenche wil I swyve.
Som esement has lawe yshapen us.
For, John, ther is a lawe that says thus,
That gif a man in a point be agreved,
That in another he sal be releved.
Oure corn is stolen, sothly, it is na nay
And we han had an il fit al this day;
And syn I sal have neen amendement
Agayn my los, I will have esement.'
(224 – 232)
Here, Aleyn proposes to deflower the miller's daughter as "esement" for the stolen corn and bad day he has had. "Esement" can mean recompense paid you for a wrong you have suffered, use of another person's property, or release of bodily fluids. John's proposed "esement" uses all three senses of the term. His linkage of sex to flour through his proposal to exchange one for the other continues the association of sex with flour that began with the suggestive grinding of the corn.
Quote #5
And up he rist, and by the wenche he crepte.
This wenche lay uprighte, and faste slepte,
Til he so ny was, er she myghte espie,
That it had been to late for to crie,
And shortly for to seyn, they were aton.
Now pley, Aleyn, for I wol speke of John.
(340 – 344)
This passage suggests that Aleyn's sex with Malyne is basically rape. By saying that "it had been to late for to crie," it implies that Malyne would have protested if she could. The narrator's command to Aleyn to "pley" links this moment to the description of Aleyn and John and the beginning of the tale, which said that they loved "pleye and revelrye." This passage gives us an indication of just what kind of "pleye" that description was talking about.
Quote #6
'Allas!' quod he, 'this is a wikked jape;
Now may I seyn that I is but an ape.
Yet has my felawe somwhat for his harm;
He has the milleres doghter in his arm.
He auntred hym, and has his nedes sped,
And I lye as a draf-sak in my bed;
And when this jape is tald another day,
I sal been halde a daf, a cokenay!
I wil arise and auntre it, by my fayth!'
(347 – 355)
John describes Aleyn's sex with Symkyn's daughter as both "somwhat for his harm" and him getting his "nedes sped," or fulfilled, which matches up with the way Aleyn speaks of this act. To this description, however, John adds the idea of "auntring," or venturing, as in taking a chance. The idea is that one must be bold or enterprising in order to get sex.
