Adam Coberly is Troop 840′s 124th Eagle Scout
On October 15, 2013, Adam Coberly became the 124th Eagle Scout at Boy Scout Troop 840, and he was recognized at an Eagle Court of Honor on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at Valley Ranch Baptist Church. Eagle Scout is the highest rank a scout can earn, which only an average of 4% of boy scouts reach.
Adam, 14, is a freshman at Coppell High School, was on the freshman football team, and is on the Coppell High School Junior Varsity Lacrosse team. He is active in the youth group at St. Ann Catholic Parish. He is a member of the Coppell chapter of the Young Mens Service League, which is a non-profit organization that initiates and encourages young men and their mothers to pursue philanthropic involvement in their community.
For his eagle project, Adam designed and supervised the construction of a 4' x 8' cabinet for lost and found items at his former middle school, Coppell Middle School East. To pay for the supplies needed for the project, he and a group of scouts held a fundraiser at ACE Hardware in Coppell. The cabinet was delivered to the school on August 5, 2013.
Before the project could be approved, Adam had to complete an Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, including such information as an itemized list of the materials and tools needed (and the cost of each), an estimate of the time and labor involved, detailed drawings, and detailed instructions on how the cabinet would be constructed.
Adam spent over 40 hours planning the project; he and the other scouts and adults worked just over 60 hours constructing the cabinet. Once the project was completed, Adam prepared a report, met with leaders in his Troop, and then completed an Eagle Board of Review.
Adam joined Cub Scout Pack 846 at Mockingbird Elementary School in September 2006, where he earned the Arrow of Light award, as well as the Super WEBELOS Award. He "crossed over" to Boy Scout Troop 840 in February 2010, where he has held a number of leadership positions. He also served as Den Chief for his former Cub Scout Pack.
He earned the Ad Altare Dei (the Catholic religious emblem for Boy Scouts) in February 2012, and 23 merit badges, including three of the four 'historic merit badges' which were only offered in 2010 to celebrate the centennial year of Boy Scouts of America. Additionally, he earned BSA Centennial Patch and ribbons. He attended Northern Tier High Adventure Camp (canoeing in the boundary waters of Canada), and he plans to attend Florida Sea Base High Adventure Camp in 2014 and Philmont High Adventure Camp in New Mexico in 2015.
He is a member of the So Tsoh Chapter of the Order of the Arrow.

If you can recognize the potential causes and signs of job search depression, you may be able to limit the consequences or even prevent job search depression from happening to you altogether.

Quick story
In the summer of 2001, I resigned from a good hitech job in France and moved back to Israel. At one point later, I thought it may have been one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
The next few months were supposed to be for relaxation. However, while I was lounging in the sun, the Internet Bubble burst and with it disappeared the demand for my Web and managerial skills. My only consolation, if you can call it that, was that if I hadn't quit I would have been laid off anyway. A very annoying consolation when you realize that by staying on a few more months, I would have received a compensation package instead of leaving empty-handed. Grrr.
10 months, 2 empty job offers, a handful of interviews and countless resume emails later, I moved on to my next job.
Did I expect it to take so long?
Was it a frustrating uphill climb day in and day out that felt like it might never end?
After month 3, yes.
The moment you realize that your job search is taking longer than you expected is the moment job search depression begins.
Where does job search depression come from?
A 2002 study at the University of Michigan found "that secondary stressors of job loss such as financial strain and loss of personal control are the true culprits that lead to depression. The study also found that elevated levels of depression 'may reduce the likelihood of reemployment.'"
In other words, it's the consequences of losing your job that lead to job search depression, not the job loss itself.
15 Causes
As part of a seminal article about his past job search depression, Jason Alba of JibberJobber discussed some of the causes, the first 6 listed here. The additional causes appear together in one easy-to-print list for the prevention metrics below.
- Loss of control – sudden, traumatic change of having a great job one day and no job the next.
- Constant uncertainty of not knowing when the job search will end.
- The ever-continuing quest for acceptance that is a job search.
- Backlash of commiseration with other job seekers.
- Feeling of insignificance stemming from a lack of replies to your many cover letters and resumes sent out.
- Overwhelming ratio of rejection letters to positive replies.
- The new experience of your first time being unemployed.
- Being forced into a tough situation with no choice in the matter.
- The unease of having to do something that you were never taught in school or simply aren't prepared for, i.e. a job search.
- The strain of managing personal finances after your main source of revenue is gone.
- Having to support a family or other dependents during a rough moment in your life.
- The realization that you might be depressed and not knowing how to the depression.
- The difficult need to deal with these feelings while still seeming upbeat in interviews and while networking.
- Envying friends and family head out on vacation and enjoying life while you're required to continue the unending search.
- Unemployment embarrassment – struggling to answer one of the most asked questions: "What do you do?"
What can you do for prevention?
Management guru Peter Drucker once said "what gets measured gets managed." Keeping track of your worries will help you keep them under control. Here's how.
- Print out the list above, download the Excel or OpenOffice version. In terms of how much a cause is likely to affect you or is affecting you already, rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is "very little" and 5 is "a lot". Feel free to add other causes that would apply in your case.
- Create priorities by sorting the list in decreasing order so that the 5s – the most worrisome causes – appear at the top.
- From the top of the list, try to imagine actions you can take to block each cause.
- Follow through with your recommended actions, especially for the top causes on your list.
- After each month of your job search, take a few minutes to look over the previous month's estimations and understand what's working and what isn't. Then fill in new ratings for the current date, sort, and choose new blocking actions.
A required job search doesn't require a job search depression. If you're aware of the problem, you can avoid its consequences with some anticipation and preventative actions.

Beach Club Our room was beautiful with excellent interior decor. We enjoyed being on the ground floor so close to the beach and the sea and yet private at the same time.

David & Raelene Taylor 10 Oct Beach Club We were looked after from our arrival at the airport to our departure extremely well. This has been the most relaxing holiday we have had in a long time, and we have been recommending our friends do the same. The ambiance at The Beach Club is just perfect, and no children is part of that experience. Steven Grigg 8 Oct Beach Club The Beach club resort was wonderful. The location, the room, and the staff made our trip incredibly special. Jonathan Brennan 7 Oct Beach Club Amazing experience. Highlights were the privacy of beach club, convenience and quality of dine around package and breath taking views from our balcony. Special touches like complimentary champagne for my birthday were also highly appreciated. Memorable staff like Jake (restaurant), Paige (host) and Jess (bar) also made us feel very comfortable. Ashley & Amy Campbell 6 Oct Beach Club It was peaceful, so nice to be somewhere without kids. The staff were excellent, friendly, always offering to do that bit extra. My wife has a mobilty disability, and there are very few places that offer acessibility as the beach club does. Also the staff were very helpful in an understated way. Greg Tanner 21 Sep Beach Club The recently renovated premium room was beautiful. The staff were outstanding and very friendly, nothing was too much effort for them. We also enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the Beach Club, (normally we travel with 4 children so it was an ideal break). Tim & Susanne Turner 16 Sep Beach Club Customer service was excellent! Thought the hotel was superb, well worth the money! Thomas & Rachel Coyle 12 Sep Beach Club While Hamilton Island as a whole caters for families, it was great to be able to enjoy the facilities of the Beach Club in a kid free environment. The staff were great, and the new rooms are very nice. Mark & Kathy Medcalf 7 Sep Beach Club The staff are excellent. It was our second stay at the Beach Club and each time the staff have been professional, courteous and definitely contribute to the enjoyment of the overall holiday experience. Peter & Tracey Nicholson 6 Sep Beach Club Accessability, ie. within six hours of departing home in Southern Highlands of NSW at -2deg temps. we were settled into enjoying BC's seafood risotto and drinks overlooking the Whitsundays in +24deg. Friendly and attentive staff, excellent service, cleanliness and great nearby restaurants - can't wait to revisit. Warwick & Barbara Wainberg 16 Aug Beach Club We though the staff were consistently - friendly, conversational, effective and interested. Its hard to strike the right balance between good service and over service - your team did an great job and are to be commended. Illustrated by them finding and collecting a cap I had left at a restaurant at the marina. Bruce Fallaver 24 Aug Beach Club We loved the ease of staying there... All the staff knew us and nothing was difficult to plan. We especially liked the staff...everyone of them were so nice and helpful and it felt very genuine, not fake. Patrick & Nancy Daul 9 Aug Beach Club My daughter and I had the most relaxing holiday at beach club!!! We really needed a break from all our stressful problems back home in Cheltenham vic. The staff at beach club were fantastic to us. They all were very friendly and professional. Alexandra and I especially loved Nicki.G, she was fun to chat to and excellent in her service's to us!!

Of particular note was Jake Mitchell who looked after us with various requests to make our stay much better. The manager and staff provided us with a Babymoon gift (massage oil and beer). I unfortunately do not drink, and the staff were very happy to swap the beer for a fruit platter which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed. The food at the Beach Club was by far the best on the island (having experienced the other top rated restaurants), and our only gripe was that we made the decision to eat there on our second night, and so had our remaining two dinners lack significantly in comparison. The meals the chef created at the Beach Club were by far the best meals we have had in many years, and the dining experience was out of this world. Glenn & Erin Mitchell 17 Aug Beach Club The staff and facilities are first class and as this was our honeymoon made it extra special the upgrade of the rooms was fantastic and i was very happy i chose Beach club to stay. Peter & Rachel Anesbury 31 Aug Beach Club Absolutely everything was perfect. We could not fault the Beach Club. The service from every single staff member was amazing and very helpful and friendly.

RICHARD TEITELBAUM, SoundPaths
"SoundPaths" continues and combines several of my main musical interests of the past forty years: First, the structural and expressive use of timbre and noise (a path that can be traced back to the innovations of Schoenberg, Russolo, Cowell and Cage starting a century ago). Second, the combining of acoustic and electronic instruments in real time live electronic performance, to which Musica Elettronica Viva has contributed since the sixties. Third, the exploration and expansion of extremely soft dynamic levels, which I explored previously in a series of "threshold" pieces in the seventies and for which Feldman, Nono, Lachenmann and Sciarino have also provided great inspiration. Finally, the employment of open forms and improvisational structures, with which I have been involved in performances with MEV, as well as with Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, George Lewis, Katsuya Yokoyama and many others over the years.
Extending such approaches to working with Da Capo has stimulated the development of new strategies: early in my conversations about this piece with Pat Spencer, she expressed a strong interest in exploring improvisation as well as electronics—two areas that she indicated would be relatively new to them, but which she said would also provide a welcome challenge. My approach has been to record samples of each member of the group playing unusual, non-pitched "noises" as well as more conventional tones, and to "confront" the group with them, both by using those samples to improvise live with them in rehearsals and by composing and playing back recorded collages of these and other sounds for them to play with.
I have also provided the notated, sometimes fragmentary "soundpaths" to act as trails, guideposts and steppingstones within the freer, less charted wilderness of improvisation. These are made up of special symbols that indicate varying degrees of distortion, modulation and complexity. They range from pure overtones to normal pitches, bent, sliding and increasingly modulated tones (vibrato, tremolo, flutter tongue, bow pressure), granulated sounds, filtered noise, (air through the wind instruments, bow scrapes) and even relatively pure white noise (breath). They provide a scale of degrees of transformation to be negotiated as timbral pathways by both the acoustic and electronic performers.
Each of the movements has a distinctly different character and employs differing compositional and performance techniques, both with respect to the instruments and the electronics. With regard to the latter, several kinds of software are employed, including MAX/MSP (MAX/MSP patches by Marco Gasperini), Ableton Live, and Orbits (Orbits software by Christopher Tignor).
Each can process the live instruments in real time, and offers the players variously distorted or elaborated reflexive images of their own sounds and musical gestures. This immediate "feedback" enables and encourages the players to respond interactively with their own electronic "doubles" as well as with each other and themselves.
Special thanks to Da Capo and the Fromm Music Foundation for generously commissioning this piece. Thanks also to the Emily Harvey Foundation, Alvise Vidolin, Tom Mark, Bob Bielecki, Tristan Shepard and my wife Hiroko Sakurazawa.

ERICA BALL, of f(all)ing
of f(all)ing is the second movement of a larger work of varying instrumentation,"..... the re(sil)i(ent) sound of f(all)ing in[f(in)ite] ." . In the scope of the larger work, of f(all)ing is preceded by a string quartet, and followed by a violin solo. It is written in a form of spatial notation with the hope that it will enable the two players to take part in a more active response between the two instruments.

JESSE BROWN, Phosphorescent Dreams
As the title suggests, Phosphorescent Dreams came about from a dream I was having two years ago. It was early in the morning, just after sunrise. However, little by little my dream became awash in white light until the light was so sharp and harsh that I finally woke from my dream. Phosphorescence is a type of light emission where absorbed energy is slowly emitted as light energy rather than immediately like fluorescence. The science behind this is irrelevant as I was only concerned with the slow physical process of phosphorescence. The music is a gradual meditation over an eighth note pulse, slowly expanding, until the pulse changes, becoming
jagged, leading to an awakening from peaceful dreams.
Phosphorescent Dreams received its premiere by Blair McMillen at Bard College, December 2008.

BRUCE WOLOSOFF, blues for the new millennium
In the mid-90's I began to feel lost as a composer. I felt no urge to compose and wondered if I would ever write again. Then one night I was talking to William Bolcom and he urged me just to "come from your fire. It's the only thing that matters". For some reason these words had an enormous impact on me. I went out the next day and bought a stack of boogie woogie recordings by the masters: Meade Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson. I'm not sure why, I just felt like doing it, so I went with my excitement and did it! I spent the next few weeks listening to these records, absorbing their energy, then one day I sat down at the piano and started writing my own boogie woogie pieces! I did this happily for a number of months, until one morning the phone rang and it was Christopher Kendall who runs the 20th Century Consort in Washington. I'd written a number of pieces for them before, and now they wanted to commission a new work for performance in January 2001 in honor of the new millennium. Uh-oh! I wasn't inclined to turn down a commission and at the same time wasn't sure how to approach a composition for a "modern classical" audience in light of the stylistic changes I'd undergone as a composer. I wasn't even sure I could do it! The result of the next few months' work is "blues for the new millennium", a piece for clarinet, violin, and piano (the same instrumentation Bela Bartok used when he got to write for Bennie Goodman). With blues underpinnings throughout, the music seems to morph back and forth between "modern classical" sounds and a blues and boogie based language. I hope that you enjoy it.

JOAN TOWER, Valentine Trills
Valentine Trills was commissioned by flutist Carol Wincenc for her solo recital on Valentine's Day (February 14, 1998) at Merkin Hall in NYC. She wanted something very short, and this work is the shortest work I have, [lasting] one and a half minutes. It is mostly about trills (and runs), which flutists do better and faster than almost any other instrument. (They also commission more pieces than any instrument. When the 20th century is over, I believe statistics will show that the flute repertoire has increased substantially over any other instrumental area.)
—Joan Tower
JOAN TOWER, Platinum Spirals
Platinum Spirals (1976) was commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts and dedicated to the memory of my father, who was a geologist and mining engineer. Platinum is a mineral whose internal properties reveal a very malleable and flexible set of characteristics. It is said that an ounce of platinum can be stretched into a mile. A lot of this piece is about the stretching of lines of ten upward in "spirals." Other times, there is a quiet kind of "rocking" pattern that "holds" the action in place.
—Joan Tower
Hailed as "one of the most successful woman composers of all time" in the New Yorker magazine, JOAN TOWER was the first woman to receive the Grawemeyer Award in Composition in 1990. She was inducted in 1998 into the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters, and into the Academy of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University in the fall of 2004. She was the first composer chosen for the ambitious new Ford Made in America commissioning program, a collaboration of the League of American Orchestras (at that time, the American Symphony Orchestra League) and Meet the Composer. In October 2005, the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra presented the world premiere of Tower's 15-minute orchestral piece Made in America. The Nashville Symphony and conductor Leonard Slatkin recorded Made in America, Tambor, and Concerto for Orchestra for the Naxos label. The top-selling recording won three 2008 Grammy awards: Best Classical Contemporary Composition, Best Classical Album, and Best Orchestral Performance. Tower has added conductor to her list of accomplishments, with engagements at the American Symphony, Hudson Valley Philharmonic, Scotia Festival Orchestra, Anchorage Symphony, Kalisto Chamber Orchestra, and another eight of the Made in America orchestras, among others. Since 1972, Tower has taught at Bard College. She recently concluded her 10-year tenure as composer in residence with the Orchestra of St. Luke's, a title she has held at the Deer Valley Music Festival in Utah since 1998, as well as at the Yale/Norfolk Chamber Music Festival for eight years. Other accolades include the 1998 Delaware Symphony's Alfred I. DuPont Award for Distinguished American Composer, the 2002 Annual Composer's Award from the Lancaster Symphony, and an honorary degree from the New England Conservatory (2006). "Tower has truly earned a place among the most original and forceful voices in modern American music" (Detroit News).

The stories contained in this book reveal a multidimensional picture of the Rebbe's leadership, showing many different perspectives of his personality. Our intent, however, is also to communicate something more than what is being said, to intimate to our readers an awareness of the general thrust that runs through all these different narratives. Giving sole focus to any particular aspect of the Rebbe's personality, for example, the miracles that he works, the advice he gives people, his scholarship, narrows, and in that way, distorts the picture of the Rebbe we all have. Every person who has developed a relationship with the Rebbe Shlita has his own way of talking about him. But every person also realizes that his viewpoint is only a limited one and that there is something much greater about the Rebbe that he cannot describe. Nevertheless, by seeing a variety of these personal perspectives, it is possible to develop a greater sensitivity to that that greater dimension. It is our feeling that stories express this best. Stories are alive. In contrast to a biography which represents a cold intellectual perspective on a person's life, in stories, his responses to the people and the circumstances he encounters breathe with vitality. Besides biographies come with explicit or implied conclusion, stories quietly allow the reader to draw his own.

Comment posted New local leader, Roddy McCuish, says SNP has moved from protest to progress by Robert Wakeham.
Ah – party politics – white as the driven snow!
Robert Wakeham also commented
- If everyone ignored them they might just evaporate.
- Good points, Ken, but I have to admit to a certain nostalgia for the old days of Argyll County council when everyone appeared to stand solely on their own merits and for their personal beliefs, rather than attaching themselves to a political party (or even, these days, occasionally serially re-attaching themselves to more than one party) I'm sure some of them were true-blue Conservative, but they didn't trade on it and I can remember the surprise when a Kintyre councillor announced publicly that he was a Labour man, and I think this was the first time party politics got much attention.
I always thought – however naively – that local government was all the better for not having the party poltical baggage of central government. There was less temptation to spend time on national issues rather than concentrating on matters of real local concern.
- Gus – that's nonsense – and I was born in England; just because someone is an SNP supporter doesn't mean to say they're 'vile anti English'. You seem to suffer from the party political polarisation that influences some of the comment on this website, to everyone's disadvantage.
- Is that Paddy Power, Neil?

- With Heb Isles in for repairs, CalMac charters replacement vessel to reduce underprovision for Islay
Scott Smith – you give the impression that you have advance knowledge of future vessel deployments, but you get your dates, boats and places jumbled up. Any chance you could clarify these, please?
- With Heb Isles in for repairs, CalMac charters replacement vessel to reduce underprovision for Islay
A movable mezzanine deck that can't be repaired unless the ship is dry docked?
Sounds a bit like a car that needs dismantling before the oil can be changed. I wonder if someone specified some really exotic features on that mezzanine deck that no commercial ship owner in their right mind would dream up in their worst nightmare – but which the ship builder was only too happy to install, if the price was right?
- With Heb Isles in for repairs, CalMac charters replacement vessel to reduce underprovision for Islay
The comments on this particular thread (at least, those that are relevant and not just trying to make everything political) can be read as reflecting wider concerns, and it's now being reported in the newspapers that the seriously inadequate response of Calmac when the Hebridean Isles had to be withdrawn from service for repairs in the middle of the summer tourist season is going to be reviewed at a meeting in Islay in October, reportedly to be hosted by our MSP, to hold Calmac, Transport Scotland and the Government to account.
Hopefully they'll have the sense to leave the bullshit on the mainland.
- With Heb Isles in for repairs, CalMac charters replacement vessel to reduce underprovision for Islay
The BBC Scottish News website today has a lengthy item about Calmac's trials and tribulations with the good ship Isle of Arran.
However, it's really only padding out the previously known facts as deemed suitable for release by Calmac, and leaves the details of the boat's problems unexplained. It's basically a case of 'bear with us, there'll be jam tomorrow'.
Someone needs to spell out to the Calmac management – and our Holyrood politicians – that if you drive an old banger that wouldn't pass its MOT and gave the police some feeble excuse about not being able to find spare parts you'd wind up in court.
The BBC could at least have asked Calmac to explain what sort of problems were making the boat more susceptible to weather cancellations – and as to the Finlaggan running about with a broken mezzanine deck and the Heb Isles crashing into Kennacraig pier, maybe the BBC consider these matters to be unworthy of reporting, let alone investigation.

Hundreds turned out in Waterford Thursday for the annual community hog roast hosted by the Waterford FFA, an annual tradition during National FFA Week.
It's the students' way of thanking the community for the support they receive throughout the year. Local FFA chapters raise tens of thousands of dollars each year through a variety of fundraisers. The money is used to help the students participate in regional, state and national competitions and conventions. FFA is one of the largest student/technical organizations in the country.
Students in Washington County FFA chapters strive to be the leaders of tomorrow and FFA will help them get there. In addition to the various competitions, career development and social activities, local FFA chapters reach out into their own communities, too. For example, the Warren FFA takes farm animals to the district's elementary schools to expose youngters to the animals and agriculture. Students also take on projects. One example is the Career Center FFA chapter and its grass waterway project.
FFA teaches students life lessons. They learn how to work together, build relationships and bring about change in their communities. Congratulations to all FFA members and their advisors for their accomplishments.

Revolution in Energy Use 'Will Help Curb Warming'
From The Independent
By Tom Bawden
The world is poised for a revolution in the way it uses energy that will boost its efficiency by almost a third and bolster efforts to curb global warming, according to a new study by BP.
But the leap forward in energy use would not be enough in itself to save the world from devastating climate change, BP warned.
The amount of power needed to produce a dollar of economic output – known as energy intensity – will tumble by 31 per cent by 2030, as heavyweight emerging economies such as China and Russia enter the next phase of their development. This will see them reducing energy-intensive industrial production in favour of services and lighter manufacturing, which use far less power, and cutting back on power-hungry construction projects, now that much of the basic infrastructure has been built. Meanwhile, improving production techniques and new technologies will improve business efficiency across the world.
Without any improvement in energy efficiency, world demand for power would double over the next 17 years. But with the projected decline in energy intensity, power use will only increase by 36 per cent – while the ongoing greening of electricity supply means carbon emissions growth will be limited to 26 per cent.

Find out Sunday if you have the right bone marrow to save the life of Rowlett's William Purdom
Sign up at a bone marrow drive this Sunday, and you may just be the one to save the life of twenty-year-old William Purdom of Rowlett. William, who was diagnosed with leukemia last month, needs a bone marrow donor to save his life. He has no full blood siblings and no medical insurance.
Delete Blood Cancer, part of the world's largest bone marrow donor center, and the American Red Cross are hosting the Bone Marrow Donor Drive, Blood Drive and fundraiser at Garland's Hella Temple Shrine Sunday. The Jimmy Jones Band will bring its Texas country heart to play in honor of William, who loves music. In fact, the first thing he asked for after hearing his diagnosis was his guitar.
All you have to do is get swabbed and register as a donor. It's fast, it's easy, painless, it's free and it could save William's life. If you are not a match for William, who knows — you might be a match for another of the more than 14,000 people who may otherwise die from leukemia this year.
If you're between the ages of 18 and 55, all you need to do is show up at the Hella Shrine at 2121 Rowlett Road in Garland Sunday from 3 to 8 p.m. (the band will start playing at 4). If you go, email me a picture of yourself getting swabbed and I will post it on the Dallas Moms Blog at Facebook.com/DallasMoms or tweet you with thanks @nchurnin.

By Sgt. Roland Hale, 1st Inf. Div. Public AffairsNovember 23, 2011
FORT RILEY, Kan. -- Army cooks on Fort Riley are putting in overtime this Thanksgiving to make their dining facilities a home away from home for Soldiers staying on post through the holiday.
At the Demon Diner, the main dining facility of the Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, the kitchen staff has harnessed the full spectrum of its culinary skills to pull off the operation.
Cooks at the facility have already prepared more than 1,100 pounds of meat, hundreds of desserts and more than 1,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables. And that is just the beginning.
Each of the three Fort Riley dining facilities offering Thanksgiving meals this year is given a theme to incorporate into their meal service. This year, the Demon Diner was given the "Thanksgiving Traditions" theme. Cooks at the facility have created a collage of cornucopias, turkeys, fall leaves and pumpkins -- a total of more than 60 displays to decorate their dining area.
Sgt. 1st Class Darlene Taylor, a senior food service noncommissioned officer, works as a supervisor at the dining facility.
"This is our time to shine as food service personnel, to show what we can really do as culinary professionals," she said.
It is not all skill, but a good deal of hard work that goes into pulling off a successful holiday meal, she said.
"It's amazing to see the hard work our team is doing here to make is special for the Soldiers," she said. "We've got a one of a kind team in the back working to make this special."
Pvt. Fransheska Colon, a 20-year-old native of Tampa, Florida, is one of the Demon cooks. Colon has been in the Army for seven months, and this year will be her first Thanksgiving away from home.
"I know what it's like to live in the barracks, to be away from Family, so it's nice to cook for Soldiers like me who are here for the holiday," she said.
Colon, who is on her second month working at the dining facility, said she got to test her culinary chops in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.
"I've made ginger bread houses, cornucopias, and food that I've never made before," she said. "It's nice to focus on our job, learn something new and to do it all for other Soldiers."
Spc. Steven Haney, a 26-year-old Soldier from Springfield, Mo., said he also enjoys working for his fellow Soldiers.
"I wish I could do more," said Haney. "I get to go home over the long weekend, so I figure the least I can do is help make the best Thanksgiving possible for the ones who are staying here without their Families."
In addition to working between ovens, stoves and cutting boards in the kitchen, Haney put in his time making a 1st Infantry Division Thanksgiving cornucopia for display in the dining room.
"We've all spent a lot of extra time here lately," said Haney. "It will be nice to see it pay off when the meal comes."
The dining facility is also hoping their hard work pays off in the form of a trophy. In 2009 the Demon Diner was named Fort Riley's "Best Thanksgiving Dining Facility." The brigade was deployed to Iraq for last year's competition, and they are aiming for another trophy to celebrate their return to the competition.
The Demon Diner is serving its official Thanksgiving meal Nov. 23 to facilitate the judging of the competition. The dining facility will serve another Thanksgiving meal Nov. 24.

I'm using PostgreSQL 8.3 and post-version-1.0 Django SVN (currently v8972). I have the following testcase:
class Parent(models.Model) : pass class Child(models.Model) : parent = models.ForeignKey(Parent)
When I call "Parent.objects.filter(child=None)" to find parents without children, the results are correct. Here is the generated SQL:
SELECT "app_parent"."id" FROM "app_parent" LEFT OUTER JOIN "app_child" ON ("app_parent"."id" = "app_child"."parent_id") WHERE "app_child"."id" IS NULL
This produces the expected result. Ditto if I use the child__isnull=True form:
SELECT "app_parent"."id" FROM "app_parent" LEFT OUTER JOIN "app_child" ON ("app_parent"."id" = "app_child"."parent_id") WHERE "app_child"."id" IS NULL
However, when I use exclude for this purpose, the generated SQL is not correct. I obtain the following SQL whether using "exclude(child=None)" or "exclude(child__isnull=True)":
SELECT "app_parent"."id" FROM "app_parent" WHERE NOT ("app_parent"."id" IN (SELECT U1."parent_id" FROM "app_parent" U0 LEFT OUTER JOIN "app_child" U1 ON (U0."id" = U1."parent_id") WHERE U1."id" IS NULL))
The problem is in the sub-select. It should be selecting U0."id" instead of U1."parent_id". The reason is that U1."parent_id" is actually going to be NULL in the cases where the left outer join matches no child rows, so the sub-select produces rows of NULLs rather than rows of parent ids. In order to find the ids of the childless parents we actually need to select the id from the parent table (as U0."id") rather than the child table. I verified that this is the case both for PostgreSQL and MySQL left outer joins.

There's never been any question of it not being a bug. :-)
Fixing it has shown up some other things, though, as well as some interaction with #9188, so it's taking a bit of work, but it'll get done. I thought I'd already assigned this to myself, though. Clearly, I'm losing my mind, so fixing that (the assignment part, at least) now.

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't written-while-jamming-to Tay. Converted. Not ashamed.
The MLK-weekend trip to Austin with my sister + SIL and was a grand ol' time. It's a quirky city with a lot to offer the outdoor enthusiast, foodie and music lover – or any combination of. We had some great recommendations for lodging, eats and walking/running trails that kept us busy for the 72-hour trip.
The flight back to SFO on Monday afternoon marked my last airplane experience until the end of March, and my 14th flight in 15 weeks. So, yeah, I'm pretty f-ing pumped to be grounded for a little while.
NOW, for the first time in a few months, my Training Peaks schedule is filled with 7 days of real workouts. Not every run is "easy" with a side of "see how things feel" and a large dose of mental paranoia {about my knee}. Instead, I spend those 45-60 minutes more concerned about my heart rate and the prescribed workout for the day. It's an odd bliss, I know. My brain remembers what it's like to just run again. Maybe not entirely, ever, but for the most part, we're out of the woods.
I am patient.
I am okay with going slow & steady, for now. (Rinse. Repeat.)
Adios, forest de injury! You're not so fun to navigate, but you're extremely satisfying to leave.
Now, I'm training to get back some fitness and prep for the Canyonlands Half-Marathon. We registered because it's an excuse to travel through southern Utah (which needs no excuse) and some of the team will be there, too. Win, win!
What spring race(s) is/are on your agenda / radar?

Peru's experience with sovereign debt during the guano boom is one of the most remarkable in the nineteenth century. Despite the country's ongoing political instability and poor capital market reputation, the price of Peruvian bonds soared shortly after settlement in 1849, and the country enjoyed relatively low credit risk until the 1870s. This article discusses the incentives Peru and its creditors faced, and explains how Peru's extraordinary performance in financial markets was founded on its credible commitment to service its debt with the guano proceeds.
I thank participants at the 2007 Economic History Association Meetings, the States and Capital Markets conference at the UCLA Center for Economic History, the 2006 International Society for the New Institutional Economics conference, the Yale University Economic History Workshop, the UCLA Von Gremp Economic History Workshop, and the Green Mountain Economic History Workshop at the University of Vermont for valuable discussions of previous versions of this article.

Malika to 'do the talking' in Saif's Agent Vinod
Malika Haydon will be shaking her legs with the track 'I'll do the talking...' written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. While Pritam has composed the music, Neeraj Sridhar and Aditi Singh Sharma have crooned the item number.
"A prerequisite that an Agent Vinod girl has to be stunning and absolutely gorgeous wasn't enough for the track 'I'll do the talking...'. The idea was to have a mainstay, who could really hold it together and drive the song. We searched, we short-listed and it wasn't really rocket science...It had to be Malika Hayden," the PTI quoted the s co-producer of Agent Vinod and Saif's business partner, Dinesh Vijan, as saying.
Agent Vinod directed by Sriram Raghavan also stars Kareena Kapoor. The movie will hit the screens on March 23.

CHICAGO -- "The corporate boot may be on our neck right now," stated Chicago Teacher's Union leader Kim Bowsky, to a packed Labor Notes conference, "but make no mistake about it, they have one in your size, too."
Bowsky was a leader of a large official delegation of Chicago teachers attending the left Labor Notes conference this past weekend in the Windy City.
In a major political development, over 2,000 trade union activists and friends attended the conference, which was geared toward helping unionists find ways to build coalitions and win struggles in today's difficult political climate.
Besides the Chicago Teacher's Union, official union delegations, some quite large, were present from other teacher's unions, the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), Teamsters, Steelworkers, the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), both major longshore unions ILWU and ILA, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the International Union of Electrical Workers (IBEW), the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), food and commercial workers, farmworkers, nurses and others. Some delegations were sent directly from International leadership offices.
"Our nation's postal service was set by our nation's revolution, with the guarantee, written into our constitution, that every American citizen be served equally, having access to our service," said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. "Those trying to privatize it and cut service to some are in violation of our nation's constitution."
To massive cheers, Dimondstein announced the formation of a new, four-union, postal worker's union alliance that will "promote solidarity and a common negotiating strategy for all workers in the postal service."
Hundreds then piled in buses that transported workers to a huge labor solidarity rally in downtown Chicago protesting Republican-led efforts to privatize the postal service.
This conference, organized by supporters of Labor Notes newspaper, a left labor publication, was, by far, the largest ever held. To many, it marked a growing frustration with years of "economic recovery" that has only benefited the wealthiest top 1%.
"I have attended these before," said Detroit steelworker Les Caulford, "but I've never seen anything like this. I drove in, bring some friends and literature, expecting maybe 200 to 300 delegates, maybe more, but this just shows how mad people are."
The conference report stated that there were 140 different meetings and workshops that conference participants attended. Those included fight for pensions, led by Chicago Teachers, on cooperatives, led by leaders of the Cincinnati labor federation and political independence, where broad coalitions from Lynn, Massachusetts, Richmond, California, Chicago and Seattle led discussions.
"This conference has just deepened my conviction that we must build a larger social justice movement if we are to win the fight for social justice," said Michelle Mahon a member of the National Nurses Organizing Committee.

Remember Ed and Elaine Brown? The federal government cut power, internet, phone, television and mail service to the couple's 110-acre compound after they failed to pay taxes on $2 million of income. Well folks, the Brown's four-month standoff is over. U.S. Marshalls seized the Browns last week without incident. Please remember, pay your taxes before federal agents seize you and your compound. [WMUR]
I'm not a fan of the use of "Compound" unless their are 10ft walls with sentries posted every 20 feet. Also, spotlights.
@Scuba Steve: You obviously haven't seen this place. Its as close to a 'compound' as any average Joe's gonna get.
they were only caught because they got undercover agents to pose as supporters to their cause and then bam caught.
I have no problem with the govt cutting all their taxpayer-supplied infrastructure, but it makes me kind of sick that the Feds can take your property, that you paid for, because you refuse to pay a tax on it every single year.
@Scuba Steve: Exactly. "Compound" is one of those prejudicial words you see used when they're trying to paint someone in a bad light. It immediately brings people to their side. "Who would have a compound? These people must be bad / evil / crazy!"
@Scuba Steve: Right. It wouldn't read the same if you said "farm" or "estate" or "dude ranch". However, the Browns do sound like kooks.
They really aren't. Taxing is unconstitutional in that it's not a part of it. So it was an added invention later. That is not to say funding of the government isn't necessary, but enforcement of collecting, and the amount of taxes and what is taxed in the first place is very wrong. Then accountability of where our taxes go are also very wrong.
The mistake they made was being extreme in thinking that just because it doesn't specifically say we will have a tax and be taxed on particular things in the constitution must mean that it is against some law to tax and that somehow the government can run on it's own without funding. Thats when they went to far and jumped the kooky shark.
@Landru: The place was fortified, complete with a tower. The grounds were booby-trapped. I think it qualifies as a compound.
@vex: Tax is what you pay for the privilege of owning property in the US/State/County that you do. If you think the government is wasting tax dollars, run for office (etc.) and try to change it.
There is a municipality near me that has very low tax bills because it is run properly and has a high proportion of commercial property to residential property, so sales tax pays for the roads and water and sewer. So it can be done, it's just a matter of the citizens being willing to demand good public administration.
Actually, they tried to force the government into showing that there was a law requiring them to pay taxes on the income they had. They set the money aside to be paid WHEN the law was explained. As I understand it, it is every citizen's right to require the government to "show cause" and that no such cause was shown in this case and many others like it.
According to what I've been able to determine, they are right: taxes are collected on specifically excluded income (wages from labor, which has very legitimate deductions) and usually NOT collected on the taxable income (such as capital gains, which can be written down so many ways that tax is almost never owed). Corporations can afford to buy loopholes while the average citizen pays taxes on "gains" from having had a catastrophe and lost everything…resulting in write-offs that are taxed as income despite the fact that they didn't get penny and don't have one left…who says we don't have debtor prisons? What is life but one huge debtor prison when the IRS is making sure you can never recover from a disaster and get out of poverty again?
The crux of the problem the Browns were trying to force the government to admit is that the law can't be explained without revealing that it was never properly ratified (i.e., it isn't a real law — judicial opinion and precedent do not make laws, only the legislative branch has that power), and even if it was, that it is being enforced selectively and incorrectly. The result of such a revelation would be an accounting nightmare that could not be sorted out, so it needs to be wiped out, legislated correctly, and started over from scratch.
The government doesn't want to do this because the IRS has so often been used as a selective enforcement arm…when the government doesn't like something a citizen is doing, but what they are doing isn't illegal or they can't prove a case against them (such as happened with Al Capone), they send the IRS after that person to get them to back down or to put them in jail.
That's another reason why it is in the government's inteest to keep the tax code incredibly complex and contradictory…it puts every single citizen in noncompliant status at all times, so if the government wants us or what we own, it always has a way to get what it wants. That kind of behavior has no place in a government that is supposed to be "of the people and by the people."
In summary: the fat lady has not yet sung.
@Keter: excellent summary (which filled in the blanks on some parts of the situation that I would've never been able to explain), but are you sure that the legislative side of the government hasn't already thoroughly covered the confiscation side of taxes? I mean, there are committees, full congressional votes and a "tax code" that'd sink a battleship if those books were dropped on deck. When the Browns go to court and, once again, try to force the government to explain their position, they'll lose because taxation was indeed ratified and signed into law in some "appropriations" bill somewhere along the way.
Oh, another thing I've been thinking about: wasn't this country founded on the idea of freedom from excessive taxation?
@Scuba Steve: My friends and I referred to my friends house as "the compound" because it was typically where we would all me before going out, crash at after going out, throw our bigger parties at, etc. and because it sounds way cooler to say "meet me at the compound" than it does "meet me at xyz's house." especially since he had a common name and we new several of them.
They were shown the law. They refused to accept it. Their arguments as to why they don't have to pay taxes have a ZERO percent success rate in every court in America. Given that the law, at the end of the day, is what the courts say it is, they've been breaking the law, and now they're going to suffer the consequences.
@MalcoveMagnesia: Comparatively, the US has a very low tax rate as a proportion of nominal income. I lived in Denmark for awhile, where above a certain income level your nominal tax rate is OVER 100% on additional income.
As much I love to bitch about my taxes, it could be way worse.
@JustAGuy2: No, they weren't shown the law. Show me the law.
That's what I thought.
And you're also wrong about tax protesters "never" winning in court. Consumerist says so: [consumerist.com]
There are other examples out there, if you feel like looking around you'll find them. You know what they say about assumptions…
I find the "the law is what the courts say it is" attitude downright un-american and frightening. It's a shame so many people think like you nowadays.
I pay my taxes because the odds of me winning in court are slim–but non-zero.
Whatever, the Browns in my book have less of a right to complain about taxes than anyone else…they lived in NH! They lived about 10 minutes from where I work…I didn't personally know they but some people I work with did. I'm glad they got caught. I hate paying my taxes as much as the next person but at least I do. *shrug*
Cryer (the guy you cite) was acquitted of willfully not paying taxes – in other words, the jury decided that he genuinely believes he doesn't have to pay taxes – that's a requirement for the criminal charges to stick. This does happen occasionally, but the IRS always wins on the civil side – he's going to have to pay the taxes, plus penalties, he just won't have to spend time in jail. Tax fraud criminal prosecution is a pretty high standard, you need to prove that the defendent not only evaded taxes, but also knew that he was evading taxes. It's designed to keep the IRS from filing criminal cases against people who get their math wrong, or are just delusional, like Cryer.
As for the law, it's title 26 of the US Code. You can believe that this somehow isn't a law, based on some magical definitions you use, but the courts universally disagree with you.
The idea that the "law is what the courts say it is" is _fundamentally_ American, it's what the rule of law MEANS. If you think the courts have misinterpreted the law (as is your right), you're welcome to have the legislature pass a law, and the executive sign a law, saying that "no, we meant X," and then the courts are overruled. If it's a constitutional issue, amend the Constitution to clarify that the courts were wrong. The fact that the legislature hasn't done so indicates that our elected representatives believe that the courts are in fact correctly interpreting the law.
The very JOB of the courts is to interpret the laws. To deny this, and to say that you get to determine what the law is, would put you in very good stead with the Bush administration, which believes itself not to be bound by the law. THAT is un-American.
last time I checked, government was of, by and for the people so it IS the people who determine the laws.
The average citizen has not the time to spend the years it takes to get such an redress of grievances, purposefully complicated to stifle opposition.
Apparently, I have a right to petition the Government for redress of grievances. But guess what? The government has "ruled" that they don't have to answer. So I guess under some people interpretation, the government makes the law and that's that.
You have a right to free speech, unless the government doesn't like it. Hey, that's the law, accept it.
The people absolutely determine the laws. They elect representatives who write the laws, an executive who enforces them, and (through the executive, who appoints them, and the legislature, which confirms them) selects the judges who interpret those laws.
You really need to understand what these terms mean. Right to petition for redress of grievances means that, if you write your congressman (or pass around a petition) saying "I think this policy sucks, and should be changed," you won't get sent to jail for it. It doesn't mean that all laws should be changed to fit what you want them to be.
yes it does.
Excellent counter argument, why be bothered with presenting facts when being simply contrary is so much more succinct.
"yes it does"
I assume you were responding to the last line in my post (It doesn't mean that all laws should be changed to fit what you want them to be).
There's a term for that belief (that you have a right to have all laws changed to what you want). Actually, there are two. If you have the power to carry that out, it's called dictatorship. If you don't, it's called delusion.

|Even when he was an up-and-coming junior, the puck seemed magnetically drawn to Jaromir Jagr's stick. His size 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds makes the right winger tough to knock around, while his incredible touch, speed and creativity combine brilliantly to make him an almost unstoppable offensive force. His skills have propelled his teams, whether in the NHL or international play to titles and championships.
Jagr grew up in Kladno, Czechoslovakia, where he played for his hometown team and his size and skill began to garner the attention of scouts. After scoring 59 points in 51 games in 1989-90, he was chosen to play for the Czechoslovakian team at the 1990 World Junior Championships in Finland. He was the star of the tournament, netting 18 points in only seven games as Czechoslovakia skated to the bronze medal.
NHL scouts were intrigued, but many teams were hesitant to use a high draft pick to select Jagr. Unlike other highly rated standouts from his homeland such as Petr Nedved, Jagr was still in Czechoslovakia. He still had a year remaining on his contract with Kladno, after which he would have to perform two to three years of military service before he would be available to sign with a North American team, assuming that Kladno did not then hold him for a king's ransom.
In the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, the Pittsburgh Penguins, who already had an established franchise player in Mario Lemieux, could afford to take a gamble, and they chose Jagr fifth overall. It was an astute move, as the Penguins got their man much sooner than expected. The Eastern Bloc dissolved that summer and Jagr, suddenly free to move once Kladno released him, arrived in the United States as an 18-year-old rookie. As a symbol of his pride in his country, Jagr chose to wear Number 68, it represented the year of the Prague Spring, a short-lived surge of social reform in 1968 that was cut short when Soviet tanks rolled into Wenceslas Square.
Jagr did not immediately set the NHL on fire with his offensive skills. Over a four-week span early in 1990-91, he managed only 1 point and 12 shots on goal in 15 games. He was homesick, and his sense of isolation was compounded by his shaky grasp of English. With no one to talk to, his depression soon affected his game Jagr, usually an outgoing and energetic player on the ice, became despondent and quiet. The Penguins remedied the problem by making a trade with the Calgary Flames for 32-year-old Czech centerman Jiri Hrdina. Jagr's mood and his game were both elevated; he scored six goals and nine assists in the month after Hrdina arrived, and finished fourth in rookie scoring with 57 points. His performance earned him a berth on the NHL All-Rookie Team.
His play continued to improve during the playoffs, as the Penguins went on to win their first ever Stanley Cup, with Jagr contributing 13 points in a supporting role to the dominant Lemieux, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy.
In his second NHL season, Jagr's point total improved, as it would again in his third and fourth years. Seventeen of Jagr's 32 regular-season goals had come during the third period, earning him a well-deserved reputation as a man who could deliver a goal when his team needed it most. During the second game of the Patrick Division finals against the New York Rangers, Mario Lemieux broke his hand and the 20-year-old Jagr was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.
Jagr accepted the challenge gratefully. In game five, he scored the game-winning goal on a penalty shot. The Penguins rallied to eliminate the Rangers, who had been the NHL's top team during the regular season. Lemieux returned for part of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Bruins, and Pittsburgh set them down as well.
Over the course of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Jagr scored four game-winning goals, and placed fourth in playoff scoring with 24 points. Best of all, the Penguins won their second consecutive Cup championship.
Early in his career, Jagr was understandably overshadowed by his superstar teammate, Lemieux. One writer re-arranged the letters in "Jaromir" to spell "Mario Jr.", and that was the impression most people had of the skilled winger, who shared many physical attributes with his captain: the long, dark hair spilling out beneath the helmet; a strong, yet nimble body; and an offensive explosiveness. Even their jersey numbers, 66 and 68, were similar.
Injuries and health problems sidelined Lemieux for much of the mid-1990s, and the Penguins looked to Jagr to become the team's primary scorer. Jagr thrived under the pressure, fully realizing his tremendous potential during the lockout-shortened 1994-95 season. His 70 points in 48 games tied Philadelphia's Eric Lindros for the league lead, but Jagr scored more goals, 32 to Lindros' 29, and he became the first European-born player to win the Art Ross Trophy. Jagr was also named to the First All-Star Team and was runner-up for the Hart Trophy, awarded to the league's most valuable player.
In 1995-96, Jagr had a career year, setting records for points (149) and assists (87) by a right winger, breaking marks set by Mike Bossy. He was again named to the First All-Star Team. After Lemieux retired in 1997, Jagr led the league in scoring for three consecutive seasons beginning in 1997-98. At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, he was partly responsible for once again filling Wenceslas Square in Prague with people, this time to watch Jagr and the rest of the Czech team defeat the Russians 1-0 for the Olympic gold medal.
Prior to the 1998-99 season, Jagr surprised many observers when he announced that he would like to be team captain, replacing Ron Francis, who had left the Penguins as a free agent. Jagr became more of a playmaker on the ice, taking his time and holding the puck until he found an open teammate. Always dangerous on individual rushes, he became almost impossible to contain once he dedicated himself to the team game.
Although his flowing locks of hair were recognized around the world, Jagr changed him image at the beginning of the new century. His new haircut, shorter, though still curly, received almost as much attention as his continuing dominance of the scoring race in 1999-00 and 2000-01. That summer, he was traded to Washington to begin a new phase in his NHL career as a mature man playing for the first time without Mario Lemieux's inspiration or influence.
Upon his arrival in Washington, Jagr has continued his offensive ways, leading the Caps in scoring in each of his two seasons with the team while suiting up once again with team Czech Republic at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.
In 2003-04, Jagr continued his scoring ways, yet the team struggled and the trade rumours regarding the two-time Stanley Cup champion escalated just after the Christmas break and shortly after the rumours of Jagr becoming a New York Ranger became true. Jagr was dealt to the Blueshirts and going back to Washington was former Capital, Anson Carter.
As a member of the New York Rangers, Jagr would appear in every regular-season game over three and a half remarkable seasons. He would re-establish a number of the clubs single season records and set a number of personal landmarks including his 1,500th point and his 600th NHL goal.
In his first of three seasons in the Big Apple, Jagr recorded a stunning 123 points and led the Rangers back into the NHL playoffs. After he was named captain of the club just prior to the start of the 2006-07 NHL season, Jagr would go on to record his fifteenth straight 30-goal season. In 2007-08, he tallied 71 points and led the Rangers back into the playoffs for the third time in as many seasons. However, after the Rangers eliminated their rivals in New Jersey, Jagr and the blueshirts were eliminated by the eventual Eastern Conference champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
On July 1, 2008 Jagr became a free agent for the first time in his career. Only three days later, he signed a two-year deal with Avangard Omsk of the Kontinental Hockey League.
After three solid seasons in the KHL, where he continued to score at a prodigious pace, Jagr signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers. He would appear in 73 games for the Flyers during the 2011-12 season, scoring 19 goals and adding 35 assists.
The following summer Jagr found himself once again an unrestricted free agent and this time signed on to join the Dallas Stars. His time in Dallas would be productive, but short-lived however. He would appear in just 34 games for the club during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, recording 14 goals and 12 assists, before being traded to the Boston Bruins one day prior to the NHL trade deadline.

Yves Saint Laurent: not, you would think, the likely hero of a "powerful, epic love story" (in the words of director Jalil Lespert). But everything is unlikely in Yves Saint Laurent. First the project and its realisation, a life story with glitter, fame and achievement but no drama. Then the scenes of trumped-up sound and fury, as Yves (Pierre Niney) struggles with drink, drugs and tortured gay passion.
Niney, helped to a spitting likeness by willowy leanness and a bony face lending itself to goggle-lensed specs, emotes resourcefully. The actor's name is accompanied by the credit "de la Comédie-Française", as if someone hopes this story is in a direct line from Molière and Racine. Sadly it is not even in a direct line from Coco before Chanel. That had nuns, orphanages, tragic bereavement and a threads-to-finery backstory. This just has celebrity wattage, with some unconvincing bids to suggest there were crisis moments of potential career blackout.

Depression Health Center
Magnetic Stimulation for Depression?
Dec. 6, 2007 -- An experimental depression treatment involving magnetic stimulation of the brain proved to be more effective than sham therapy in a large study.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression. Early this year, an advisory panel for the agency found TMS to be safe, but panel members also expressed doubts about the research showing the treatment to be effective.
The newly published study, funded by the company that makes the device used to deliver the therapy, included 301 patients with major depression who had failed to respond to antidepressant drugs.
Half the patients received TMS, given five times a week in 35-minute sessions for four to six weeks. The other half received the sham therapy, but neither the patients nor those administering the therapy knew which treatment was being given.
Depression Scores Lower
Writing in the December issue of the journal Biological Psychiatry, researchers reported that response and remission rates among patients who got active TMS were roughly twice those of patients who got the sham therapy.
But researcher John P. O'Reardon, MD, concedes that response and remission rates were relatively low for both treatment groups. He says this is because the study included only patients who had proven resistant to previous treatments.
Between 14% and 17% of patients on the active treatment had achieved a remission after six weeks, compared with 5% to 8% of patients in the sham treatment group.
"In a less-resistant population we would expect to see higher responses," O'Reardon tells WebMD.
How TMS Works
TMS is a noninvasive procedure administered in an outpatient setting; it requires no anesthesia. During treatment sessions that last from 30 to 45 minutes, patients recline in a special chair while a specially placed coil device creates a magnetic field from the outside the body. The magnetic field induces an electric current to regions of the brain thought to regulate mood.
Treatments are typically given five times a week. O'Reardon says patients usually need a minimum of 10 sessions and as many as 30 to see improvement.

hmmm - I guess that's just his current natural routine. You could try leaving it a few minutes longer each morning before going in to him, in order to try and influence his wake time. Alternatively, if it's just contact he needs, you could either bring him in with you (if it's possible) or move yourself into his room? depends on your set up, beds-wise though, and also that could be a risky tactic as he'll get used to it!
The only other thing I can suggest is to go in, pick him up for a few minutes, then re-set his sleep signals - make sure its dark (or whatever he is used to), maybe play music/lullaby or use one of those slow light show thingies. Might be enough to send him off for a couple more hours?
Let us know how you get on
