Mavelikkara Prabhakara Varma:A life Devoted To Music
Submitted by content on Fri, 10/19/2007 - 10:27.
Submitted by UMAMAHESWARI on Tue, 2006-12-05 21:42. Other
Prabhakara Varma hails from Mavelikkara Kottaram where his formative years were marked by an unbridled passion for music. Born in 1928 to Chandra Prabha [daughter of Kerala Panini A. R Raja Raja Varma] and Rama Varma of Kilimanoor Palace, Prabahkaran's inspiration for music stemmed from the songs rendered by his maternal aunt Bhageerathi. The swaras and her tonal quality enthralled him. His thoughts were saturated with musical notes and obviously he was below average in his studies. 'I always fail" laughs Prabhakara Varma who was affected by polio when he was in his mother's womb.
Nothing stopped him from hearing the music even during examinations. Annual exams always coincide with the temple festival. Rajaratnam the nadaswaram wizard was performing at the temple. "I just could not jot down what little did I knew. The invigilator came, snatched my answer paper and said: "Go and listen to the music" I ran to the venue swiftly, to hear Rajaratnam. The family members often scolded Bhageerathi for spoiling me like this. Soon my cousin LPR Varma joined the Music Academy and I became restless. My father insisted that I should complete at least ESLC. To every body's surprise I got through it in the first chance and that was news in the family circle" he said and continued:
In 1957 he joined the Academy as the Asst. Professor and retired as the Principal. Mean while he had to wipe off the stigma that he was not a bright student. So he appeared the University exams. For BA he took music as the main subject. The university issued a special order exempting him from under going the practical exam. But for the post graduation he had to. "Dr. Revamma asked me to render Narayana Gaula yet another rare raga. As an obedient student I rendered it" says Varma whose primary disciples include Dr. K. Omanakutti and Neyyatinkara Vasudevan.
Prabhakara Varma took the effort to notate the compositions of Thulasivanam. He had done a comparative study of Deekshithar and Swathi Tirunal. He humbly says that it takes more than a lifetime to mature as an artiste, and the fact that he is able to do so at this age is due to the blessings of the God, his teachers, the sadhana and the grace of Maharaja Swati Tirunal himself whose family he belongs to. "If you look at the genealogy he is my great grand uncle." he said with folded hands. This chronic bachelor stays with his niece at Tripunithura
The account given is comprehensive and useful. Something embarassing me more is the fact that so many people have already read this account. Being the grand nephew of prabhakara varma with whom I live, I feel proud of my uncle who has created a space for himself in the Music fraternity, in spite of all his physical limitations. His life is entirely dedicated to music.

Fura-Zone Ointment
Fura-Zone Ointment is a water soluable agent used for the treatment and prevention of infections in surface wounds and abrasions on horses and ponies. Read more...
Fura-Zone Ointment is an antimicrobial preparation containing .2% Nitrofurazone in a water soluable base. This ointment is suitable for the prevention or treatment of surface bacterial infections found in wounds, burns and cutaneous ulcers. From Squire Labs. 1 lb.
Overall Rating: 5 StarsAverage Based on 1 Reviews Write a Review
Fura-Zone is a tried and true wound dressing as far as I'm concerned. Every stable I've ever worked at has without fail had a jar or three on hand. It is unbeatable for wound protection. It clings well, and in a decently thick layer will protect wounds from dirt and dust. When wounds are closed but still in danger of cracking and scarring it keeps them supple enough to heal smoothly.

Assumption College eliminates 15 staff positions in 'restructuring'
Staff report
WORCESTER, Mass. – Assumption College earlier this week laid off 15 employees, in various divisions, as part of a "restructuring plan" designed to maintain or reduce costs for students.
According to the college's executive director of communications, Michael Guilfoyle, the restructuring plan "was necessary to address current challenges facing the higher education community, specifically maintaining or reducing costs for students."
The news of the staff reductions was announced to faculty and staff by the college's president, Francesco C. Cesareo, on Feb. 25.
In a Feb. 26 report on the masslive.com website, Guilfoyle said that the lay-offs, which included faculty, staff and administrators, were not related to the recently announced tuition freeze at the college. (See related story in the "Regional" section of iobserve.) The staff reduction, he stated, will provide an annual savings of $1.2 million.
The college has given severance packages to the affected employees and offered transitional assistance.

TUPELO – When Tupelo students head back to school, they can take their cell phones with them.
But under a revised policy, they shouldn't expect to use them without express direction from their teachers.
On Tuesday, the Tupelo Public School District Board of Trustees approved a policy change allowing phones and other electronic devices on campus. Previously, any student cell phone was subject to confiscation just by being on campus at school.
The new policy better reflects realities of a digital age, school administrators said, but "it still has teeth in it," Assistant Superintendent George Noflin said.
Any phone or other electronic device used between the first and final bell without direction of classroom teachers will be confiscated.
District administrators asked the board to revise the policy – which applies to all Tupelo schools – for both educational and practical reasons.
Smart phones and PDAs have a wealth of functions that can be helpful, such as scientific calculators and calendars to track assignments.
"There's one model that uses cell phones to teach Algebra II," said Tupelo Superintendent Randy Shaver. "This frees up educators to use them appropriately."
Part of the new policy was a practical matter, Superintendent Randy Shaver said. High school administrators were spending too much time confiscating phones and returning them to parents.
Under the new policy, students caught using their phones without permission would have them confiscated for the duration of any punishment. On the second offense, the phone would be confiscated for the rest of the semester.
Confiscated phones would have to be returned to parents, not students. The policy also clarifies that students do not have a right to privacy and that confiscated phones are subject to search.
District policy for staff cell phones remains the same.
"We still expect them to keep them put away," Shaver said.
The cell phone guidelines were one of 21 policies approved by the board Tuesday in preparation for publishing district and school handbooks.
All but one of the items were revisions of existing policies.

The Eagles are busy filling out the roster for the off-season at the same time they are searching for a coach, and while they have yet to find a new man in charge, they did get a step closer today to completing the roster.
The Eagles announced today that they have signed WRs Nick Miller and DeMarco Sampson to two-year contracts.
Miller (5-9, 180) has played in 17 games with the Oakland Raiders (2009-11) and St. Louis Rams (2011), registering four receptions for 48 yards and 404 yards on 45 career punt returns, including an 88-yard touchdown. Originally a rookie free agent signing of Oakland in 2009, Miller played collegiately at Southern Utah. He was released by the Raiders on October 1, 2011 and signed by the Rams on October 6. He scored his first-career touchdown, an 88-yard punt return on 11/27/11 against Arizona. He was released by the Rams during the 2012 offseason.
Sampson (6-2, 204) was a seventh-round draft choice of the Arizona Cardinals in 2011 after playing collegiately at San Diego State and twice earning All-Mountain West honors. He recorded three catches for 36 yards in 12 games as a rookie. The Chula Vista, CA native was released as part of the Cardinals final roster cut down in 2012.
While it is a long shot that either will make the team, Sampson could bring height to a wide receiver unit that desperately needs it.

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. — When the boys at Deerfield Academy, the prestigious Massachusetts prep school, stormed out of their cafeteria several weeks ago to protest the school's decision to admit girls for the first time, there were young men at the Lawrenceville School here who grumbled in sympathy.
For 177 years, Lawrenceville was a place for boys and boys only.
Girls would arrive by the busload for weekend dances and vanish by Sunday morning.
The rest of the week at the school, which teaches grades nine through 12, was devoted to a manly world of lacrosse, Chaucer, German grammar and quadratic equations.

Hours after No. 4 South Carolina got only one hit but defeated the Crimson Tide 1-0 in the completion of a Thursday game suspended by weather issues, the Gamecocks scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to win 12-11 Friday night in Columbia, S.C.
In the regularly scheduled game, Alabama took an 11-9 lead into the ninth inning, but the winning run scored on an error in the outfield on a single by Sean Sullivan.
Alabama (17-27, 6-14 in the SEC) outhit the Gamecocks (32-11, 13-7) 14-13 in Game 2 of the three-game series after outhitting South Carolina 4-1 in the first game, which was suspended Thursday night after seven innings and the game scoreless.
The Tide jumped to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first. South Carolina answered with two runs in the bottom of the first, but Alabama got those runs back in the top of the second.
South Carolina took a 9-7 lead in the bottom of the fourth, but Alabama scored one run in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the ninth.
Jon Keller (1-4) was charged with the loss in both games, but Jake Hubbard gave up the decisive hit.
South Carolina committed four errors in the second game compared to Alabana's two, but an error on left fielder Hunter Gregory on Sullivan's ninth-inning hit allowed the winning run to score.
Taylor Dugas led Alabama's 14-hit attack with three hits and scored two runs.
Game 3 of the series will be played at 12:30 p.m. CDT Saturday. Left-hander Justin Kamplain (1-3, 3.58 ERA) will start for Alabama.

Minor League Camp - Roster Update
The Cubs cut nine players this morning, optioning RHP Mitch Atkins to AAA Iowa and RHP David Patton to AA Tennessee, while sending pitchers Jeff Kennard and Vince Perkins, catchers Steve Clevenger and Blake Lalli, IF-OF Matt Camp, 3B Josh Vitters, and OF Brett Jackson to the Minor League Camp at Fitch Park.
So the Cubs Spring Training roster now stands at 51, including 14 Non-Roster Invitees (NRI). But there are also 150 players at Minor League Camp.
As a result of today's transactions, several players now assigned to Iowa and Tennessee will get moved to a minor league roster at a lower classification. Some might get released. (Usually about a dozen minor leaguers are released by the Cubs during the course of Minor League Camp). And as the Cubs option or send additional players to minor league camp, more minor league players will be released or will be moved downward.
Here are the Cubs minor league rosters at Fitch Park as they were this morning. All players listed were physically present. However, there will be downward movement with the arrival of the nine players cut by the Cubs this morning. For example, I did see pitchers Jeffry Antigua, Robert Hernandez, Josh Lansford, and Mike Perconte leave Field #3 (Tennessee squad) in the middle of PFP, so they probably got moved downward when Atkins, Patton, Kennard, and Perkins arrived. I don't know who (if anyone) was cut from Iowa or Daytona, and I'm not even sure that Antigua, Hernandez, Lansford, and Perconte necessarily were demoted.
Here are the Cubs Minor League Camp rosters.
NOTE: Players at Minor League Camp are often initially placed one level (sometimes two) above where they will likely play that season, and then they either get released or demoted to a lower level once the Cubs start to make cuts and send players to Minor League Camp at Fitch Park from the big league camp at HoHoKam, with an accompanying downward cascade of players from Iowa to Tennessee, Tennessee to Daytona, etc.

(The Cubs like to have one or two player-coach position-players with each of their four full-season minor league affiliates, available to temporarily replace any position-player who might go on the 7-day minor league DL during the course of the season. Last year, C Mark Johnson and INF Matt Matulia at Iowa, INF Jose Made at Tennessee, C-1B-3B John Contreras at Daytona, and C Mario Mercedes at Peoria, were the player-coaches).
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Arizona Phil,
I love your stuff. Someday I hope to return to AZ and take your place, but in the mean time I'll continue to coach at the high school level and watch my Peoria Chiefs as often as I can.
I have a question concerning your statement about the player-coach position players. I remember Casey Kopitzke acting in this role during previous years and now he is the manager of my beloved Chiefs. I never really thought of him as a prospect, and when I saw him at spring training in '04 he seemed to be doing more coaching than playing which I thought was odd at the time for a young guy.
Let me get to my question. Are you saying that Mario Mercedes is more of a long term organizational guy than prospect in the eyes of the Cubs' brass? I liked what he did last year when Brenly needed a rest. He never really seemed to play the role of coach, although he coached first from time-to-time, but almost everyone on the roster did at some point. He seemed to be one of the true "good guys" on the team, and he became a favorite of the group I attend games with.
I'm just curious on your take of Mario.
P-town Tom
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
It's nice to see Kyler Burke and Ryan Flaherty in AA. They seem so much closer to being major leaguers than when I see them listed on single-A rosters.
It'll also be fun checking in with Mike Wellman for updates on Jay Jackson, Starlin Castro, and Chris Carpenter. It's nice to have good things going on in the minors.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
I noticed the following
* Mark Johnson (Inactive – player/coach)
Do you know if there are any special rules concerning player coaches in the minors? How does it work?
Also from p-town.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Phil, you are the man.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
What was the final resolution of the Julio Castillo case from last season?
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Stoned to death. With baseballs.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Speaking of the minor leagues, BP did a throw-together study of where teams would have finished in the standings based on WARP, had they kept all their amateur signings - ie never made any trades or ML FA signings.
The Cubs for last year came in at 69-93 - which isn't too bad considering that two of their 'name' guys, Wood and Soto had down years. That beat the Brewers (68), the Mets (68) Reds (64), Orioles (68), Rays (66), Padres (55) and tied the Angels and the Astros. The Rockies came out on top with 108 wins.
Looks like it's subscriber only.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
So, Lou says Ryan Theriot won the leadoff job and the Cubs bus broke down on the way to Tucson. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/03/...
Anyone live blogging the game today? There's no tv or radio.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Based on my viewing of the live box score, I'll keep updating as the game goes along.
Top 1st
- Theriot Singles
- Barney makes out, Theriot to 2nd
- Colvin singles, Theriot scores (1-0 Cubs)
- Millar makes an out
- Baker makes an out
Bottom 1st
- First two batters make outs, Giambi with a 2-out double, Tulowitzki out to end the inning
Top 2nd
- Hoffpauir makes an out
- Hill makes an out
- Fuld Singles
- Zambrano doubles, Fuld Scores (2-0 Cubs)
- Theriot makes an out
Bottom 2nd
- Hawpe singles, Barmes makes an out, Lo Ducca grounds into a double play
Top 3rd
- Barney, Colvin, Millar go down 1-2-3
Bottom 3rd
- Payton and Francis make outs, then Gonzalez and Herrera hit back to back doubles, Gonzalez scores (2-1 Cubs), Giambi makes an out to end the inning
Top 4th
- Baker, Hoffpauir, and Hill go down in order
Bottom 4th (Adduci into RF, Hoffpauir from RF to 1B, Millar out of game)
- Tulowitzki and Hawpe make outs, Barmes doubles, Lo Ducca makes an out to end the inning
Top 5th (Manny Corpas now pitching)
- Fuld, Zambrano, and Theriot go down in order

- Tracy pinch hits for Parisi, makes an out
Bottom 7th
- Lo Ducca singles (Frey pinch runs)

- Young sacrifice fly, Frey scores (4-2 Rockies) (Looks like Throwing Error on Fuld on the play)
- Parisi wild pitch, Payton to 2nd (I think)
- Payton steals 3B
- Pacheco pinch hits for Gonzalez, fielders choice RBI
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Looks like Tracy came in with Parisi as a double switch.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Thanks, now I can't edit anymore.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
Bottom of 7th continued...
- Herrera makes the third out
Top 8th (Daley in to pitch)
- Castro, Barney, and Colvin go 1-2-3
Bottom of 8th (Berg into pitch)
- Miller, Nelson, and Paulk (all PHs) go 1-2-3
Top of the 9th (Morales in to pitch)
- Adduci, Wright (PH), and Hoffpauir go 1-2-3
End of game, Rockies win 5-2
Highlights for Cubs
- Theriot 1-3 with a run
- Colvin 2-4 with an RBI
- Fuld 1-2 with a walk, SB, and run
- Zambrano 4 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 1 ER
- Berg 1 IP, 3 up, 3 down
Lowlights for Cubs
- Outside of Theriot, Colvin, and Fuld, Zambrano had the only other hit
- Parisi just plain sucked, in getting just 5 outs he had an error, a wild pitch, a runner steal 3B off of him, gave up 3 hits and 3 runs, including a HR to Tulowitzki. He rightfully took a blown save and a loss.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
In addition, Castro looked great on a diving stop, but the relay was late (Payton running).
The error he made, he picked it clean, but dropped it, and the throw was late.
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
castro looked really great on that stop...the throw was just as slick even if it wasn't an out.
nice day at the park even with a loss.
Fielding Stats
Just say no to Millar
I read in Sun Times that Cubs are thinking of bringing Millar north.
See Gary Gaietti 1999
Re: Minor League Camp - Roster Update
And Howard Johnson in 1995.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.
rain delay...thanks obama.

As we seek in this conference to erase artificial or counterproductive divisions from our programs and institutions, I propose that the health and happiness of our students and graduates be placed squarely on the agenda. There are serious and well-documented problems of depression and emotional distress among both law students and lawyers, but while more overt professionalism problems are commonly discussed today, most teachers never address the questions of well-being or career satisfaction. My purpose here is to present a number of recent psychological findings which clarify the components of a satisfying, emotionally healthy life. I do so with the hope that these findings will provide individual teachers, and ultimately law faculties as a whole, with a framework to address constructively the problems of law student and lawyer distress.

In a historic hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill, all the heads of the U.S. armed forces appeared for the first time before the Senate Armed Services Committee. They were grilled about the growing problem of sexual assault in the military.
A recent Pentagon report found there were as many as 26,000 sexual assaults within the military last year, up from 19,000 in 2011.
"Nobody who volunteers to serve our country should be subjected to this kind of treatment by those with whom they serve," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said.
Victims often hesitate to report the crimes because of a lack of trust in their commanding officers, claiming many are soft on enforcing accountability.
"We are acting swiftly and deliberately to change a climate that has become a bit complacent," Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified.
Congress is now considering at least seven bills that would overhaul the military justice system.
One proposal would take prosecution of sexual assaults out of the chain of command, preventing commanding officers from deciding which crimes should go to trial.
But that proposal is being opposed by top military brass.
"It will undermine the readiness of the force," Army Gen. Ray Odierno said. "It will inhibit our commanders' ability to shape the climate and discipline of our units."
"Most importantly," he said, "it will hamper the timely delivery of justice to the very people. We wish to help the victims and survivors of these horrific crimes."
But some victims of military sexual assault, such as retired Air Force Sgt. Jennifer Norris, want changes.
"The system is rigged against the victims," she said.
A majority of the seats in the Senate Armed Services Committee are now held by women.
"This isn't about sex," Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told the panel. "This about assaultive (sic) domination and violence."

Fifty-eight-year-old Joseph Easley is Construction Manager at Operation Home, a far cry from what he was doing when he graduated from college armed with a degree in business.
Born in Florida, Easley grew up as an "Air Force brat," he says. "My dad was a pilot in the 1950s."
Both parents hailed from South Carolina, and Easley actually lived in Florence for eight years so he calls that "home." He graduated from high school in Virginia Beach and went on to the College of William and Mary where he earned a degree in business. While a senior in college he married his wife Cathy and after graduation, they moved back to Florence where Easley went to work for SC National Bank.
After two years, they moved to Pawley's Island and he left banking and went to work for structured building products, moving to Summerville in 1980.
While still working in the structural products field, he volunteered doing youth ministry at St. Paul's Church in Summerville. He did such a good job that the Diocese of SC offered him a job as Youth Minister.
So he left the lucrative world of building products and went to work for little money but "huge enjoyment," he says.
"Our kids were young so we also got to do a bit of traveling, for conferences, where they got to meet other teens."
After a few years he left that job and went into teaching at the Charleston Marine Institute and the Georgetown Marine Institute.
These are residential programs, he explains, for kids who are in the criminal justice system for the first time. "It's their last step before jail." He taught them history and computers.
"During all this time," he explains, "I have had, since I was 17, a love of woodworking and furniture restoration." He says his dad taught him the art and, eventually he decided he wanted to do this full time.
So he did. He opened his own furniture restoration business, out of his home in Summerville, called Cornerstone Restoration. He got into carpentry, millwork, finishing carpentry and cabinetry. He worked on partial restorations of houses in Charleston.
"I really loved doing it and I loved being self-employed."
His wife, he says, works with Trident United Way and came home one day and told him a friend of hers asked if she knew anyone interested in being a construction manager for a non-profit that help people maintain their homes.
"I was very interested," he says, "because it would get me back into serving others and helping people."
Operation Home provides critical home repairs for low income, elderly and disabled homeowners in the Tri-County area.
"We primarily repair things like leaking roofs, damaged floors, wiring and plumbing and build handicapped ramps, modify doors and bathrooms for disabled homeowner … anything that affects safety and accessibility," he explains.
His job is to visit with an applicant, assess the need and help the client through the process. Because the organization can't repair everything in a home, Easley must help a client understand this in a gentle and compassionate manner. Although it frustrates him sometimes not to be able to do everything needed, he says, and there are "so many in need. It is difficult to choose between helping a lot a little or a few a lot …"
He is happy to have a job that combines his need to serve with his love of carpentry and construction.
He says he sees Operation Home growing. "We have a new executive director and she has great ideas to grow the organization."
He doesn't stop there, though. He has worked with Seafarer's Ministry, providing support for crew from container ships that pass through the Cooper River terminal. Most of the crew are away from home from eight months to a year, he explains, and the ministry provides services such as providing them with phones and computers so they can get in touch with family, and provides a bus service so they can go shopping while in port.
"Because of heightened security [since 9/11] they can't leave the terminal unless there is an agency that is willing and able to take responsibility for them," he said.
He also used to help out with the medical outreach program at St. Paul's which provides doctors, medications, prescriptions and referrals.
He loves to fish and his extended family has owned properties on Pawley's Island since the 1920s, and they meet up there about four times a year.
He volunteers for Trident United Way, spends time with his seven grandchildren and "loves the work I am doing now."
He would also love to work on his home and refinish furniture and his next project, he says, is bookshelves for his study. His wife, he notes, has a list of projects for him.
"I would love to get more involved in the community than I have been," he says of the future. He says he might get involved in education as he is concerned with the direction education is taking. "I hate to see us turn away from kids learning about the founding of our country and the principals that made us what we are."
In the meantime, he makes time to help out a friend with rides to chemotherapy and companionship, lend an empathetic and compassionate ear, lend a hand wherever needed, or identify a problem and follow through with a solution.
He has had, say his friends, a big impact on many in his community and many who have simply passed through it.

But, for now, we're just going to focus on Evan Rachel Wood and Shia LaBeouf.
In their latest film, Charlie Countryman – now playing in select theaters – LaBeouf falls for Wood's character, a Romanian girl who (uh-oh!) is already married.
But before their bad romance plays out on the big screen, let's take a look back at the good ol' days.
Evan Rachel Wood: Then & Now
Everett; Getty
"I put it down. I was afraid of it for a while because of the subject matter. It was so intense," Wood, now 26, told the Los Angeles Times of reading the dramatic screenplay, which was co-authored by Nikki Reed. "I had never really done anything like that," she added of her breakout role. "I phoned my agent, and, right then, I said, 'I have to do this movie.' "
These days, Wood has taken on two very special roles: mom to a son (as of July 2013) and wife to fellow actor Jamie Bell.
Shia LaBeouf: Then & Now
Everett; Getty
LaBeouf, now 27, has since ditched those Hawaiian shirts – you know, they just don't go with his abs – so, naturally, his Holes-era innocence is gone, too.
He's taken blockbuster turns in the Transformers saga and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He's also taken off his clothes in a Sigur Rós video. Factor in a few arrests in between, and he's a full-on Hollywood bad boy, who wouldn't quite fit in at the Stevens dinner table anymore.

Yes, Paul's suggestion is a good approach but, if possible, I would like to solve the problem without changing the API. I am not sure how, though.
Well considering the API (ProxyObject#setHandler) is in fact the problem, I also do not see how you can do this without changing the API
I think I found a solution.
I introduced Proxy, a super interface of ProxyObject. Proxy only provides setHandler().
Then I modified Javassist so that a proxy object will implement the Proxy interface instead of ProxyObject if the original object (= the super class of the proxy) has getHandler(). If not, a proxy object will implement ProxyObject and getHandler() as before.
This implies slight API incompatibility but its impacts would be minimized.
Can anyone check Hibernate with the latest snapshot of Javassist?
Shigeru, sorry I missed the earlier notifications...
I am not following what the expected fix is here. As I understand it, the proxy object still requires a method setHandler to inject the Javassist handler object. If the class being proxied also defines a setHandler method we still have this problem. What am I missing?
If a target class has getHandler, Javassist does not add getHandler(). So proxifying that class does not cause any problem. On the other hand, since setHandler added by Javassist takes a javassist.util.proxy.MethodHandler object, it should be able to coexist with other setHandler methods, which take different type of parameters. I mean, it would safely overload other setHandler methods.
Sorry, this workaround is slightly complex but I hope the description above makes the trick clear.

Linux Organizations
As the Usenet comp.os.linux.* groups get more and more crowded, it has taken more and more time to participate in the global Linux movement. For those without Usenet access, it is almost impossible. Linux users groups (LUGs) and organizations are starting to spring up all over the world, with many different goals. We asked three of them for statements explaining what they are about. One is a global group, one an amalgam of local Linux users groups, and one is a local Linux users group.
Patrick D'Cruze firstname.lastname@example.com
Linux International (LI) is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization that has been formed to promote and encourage the growth of Linux. Essentially our goal is to encourage as many people, organizations, and communities as possible to start using Linux.
We are all Linux enthusiasts within Linux International. Each of us is grateful for the work that has been done by the countless Linux developers over the past three years. We ourselves would like to contribute something in return back into the Linux community that would benefit others. This is the common strand that ties all of us together within Linux International.
Linux International has begun working in a number of areas. The three most important areas are supporting Linux developers, supplementing Linux development, and lobbying commercial companies.
The Linux developers are one of Linux's biggest strengths. Developers are a committed, highly enthusiastic, professional group of people who have devoted an enormous amount of time and resources to Linux. It is a great credit to them that they have developed an extremely sophisticated and reliable operating system such as Linux without the huge resources and support of a large commercial company. Linux International would like to do what ever is possible to support their work and aid them in their continuing development efforts.
Linux International will soon be announcing a worldwide trust fund. (It will probably be in operation by the time you read this.) Many people have expressed interest in making some small monetary contribution to the Linux developers to thank them for their work and to be used to aid them in their future work. Linux International is in the process of establishing central donation points in nearly every country to make it easy for grateful groups and individuals to donate. All money collected will be distributed to the Linux development community.
Linux International has also been involved in some supplementary development projects. The work we undertake is designed to complement the existing work undertaken by the Linux developers, and will be aimed at filling in a few holes in an otherwise very impressive operating system. The work we undertake will be in a similar spirit to the existing Linux development efforts and it is hoped will be of use to the Linux community. Our work so far has concentrated on large projects such as national language support for Linux and the development of configuration and autoconfiguration tools.
The third major area we are involved in is lobbying third-party software and hardware manufacturers to support Linux. Many software developers and hardware manufacturers may be unaware of the opportunities available by targeting the Linux market. We are involved in an on-going campaign to alert them to the possibilities available and to encourage them to support the Linux user base.
These are just some of the areas in which Linux International has been involved. There are many other "public service" areas in which we would like to contribute; however, at the moment we are constrained by the number of people working in the organization.
Linux International is a volunteer-run organization. All of the work we are involved in is being undertaken by a number of volunteers. However the work never ends and we gladly welcome new volunteers who would like to help out.
Why would people be interested in contributing to LI? There are a number of reasons:
Linux International has been formed to work for the greater good of the Linux community. Our aims and objectives are to aid the Linux developers and also to provide a number of other benefits to the community. Our emphasis is on helping the Linux community and doing all that we can towards satisfying their needs. We can and do provide those working with Linux International with job references testifying to the work that they have performed and the experience they have accrued. This has already benefited a number of students and other professionals.
Many people are eager to contribute something back to the Linux community. However many people do not have the time or the skills to contribute by developing some software for Linux. There are many ways non-software developers can contribute within Linux International. We are always in need of more people to assist us in our efforts at lobbying software developers and hardware manufacturers. There are plenty of other ways by which people can contribute something back into the Linux community. If anyone is interested in doing so, we would certainly like to hear from them.
There are no fees associated with participation in Linux International; the only requirements are dedication, motivation, and enthusiasm. Each of us within Linux International is committed to using our talents to help and expand the Linux community. To others who share this philosophy and would also like to contribute something to the community: we are more than pleased to hear from you. Contact Linux International by sending e-mail to info@li . org. au.
If you have questions or suggestions for Linux International, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are here to serve the Linux community and we welcome any feedback or assistance that would allow us to better achieve this.
So in what way do we add to the Linux experience? There are many ways in which a company or organization can effect changes or accomplish things which individuals might find difficult to do. Two examples are a world-wide trust fund, and lobbying software developers. Both can be achieved by individuals, but they are arguably easier to accomplish by working within an organization. Linux International is committed, like many people, to helping the Linux community. We can and do use our organizational status to great effect when this allows us to achieve things that individuals may find hard to do. But perhaps more than this, we represent a group of committed Linux enthusiasts. We all know that Linux is the best operating system in the world. Our job now is to go out and "sell" it to the rest of the world and spread the "Linux gospel" to others. We firmly believe that there is nothing better than sharing a good thing with someone else. And this is really what the Linux community is all about. Sharing.
International Linux AssociationCharles Liu 1645 S. Bascom Ave., #7Campbell, CA 95008Phone/Fax: firstname.lastname@example.com
The International Linux Association, or ILA, is an amalgam of LUGs. The ILA is an attempt to assist bringing Linux into the mainstream of computing and provide benefits and value to members. At this time we will start to:
Hold monthly meetings at each chapter to allow members or members-to-be to have a place and time to get together face-to-face to exchange information. Also, the invited speaker will share his/her point view of Linux to the attendees.
Provide training seminars/classes for experienced and inexperienced Linux users.
Provide a package to allow student members to afford the Linux CDs and books. (We believe that no one should be without Linux for merely economic reasons.)
We would like to organize a Linux speaker bureau to provide speakers available worldwide to talk about Linux.
Linux opens a lot of career opportunities for individuals, as well as business opportunities for companies. For example, the individual who is going to teach the course "Introduction to Linux" is currently a software consultant; ILA provides him the opportunity to teach and become visible and credible to the public, which creates some consultancy job opportunities.
Through initial and followup training courses, ILA will be able to start introducing and promoting Linux to members who participate in such processes would improve their professional career.
For corporate members, we hope to help them take advantage of Linux as a paragon of Open Systems.
I feel very strongly that if we do it right we will achieve what we want to do.
Michael K. Johnson is the editor of Linux Journal, but that doesn't keep him from hacking.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

On Intertemporal Selfishness: How the Perceived Instability of Identity Underlies Impatient Consumption
Daniel M. Bartels
University of Chicago - Booth School of Business
Oleg Urminsky
University of Chicago - Booth School of Business
January 4, 2011
Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 38, 2011
Columbia Business School Research Paper No. 11-13
How does the anticipated connectedness between one's current and future identity help explain impatience in intertemporal preferences? The less consumers are closely connected psychologically to their future selves, the less willing they will be to forgo immediate benefits in order to ensure larger deferred benefits to be received by that future self. When consumers' measured or manipulated sense of continuity with their future selves is lower, they accept smaller-sooner rewards, wait less in order to save money on a purchase, require a larger premium to delay receiving a gift card, and have lower long-term discount rates.

Nintendo calls iPhone gaming a threat, Windows Phone 7 not so much
Nintendo is finally admitting that the iPhone is taking a big bite away from its dominance in the market of handheld gaming. But it's not quite as worried about Microsoft's upcoming game-centric mobile platform.
In a recent interview with Forbes, charismatic Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said the rise of mobile gaming is a threat. However, he said he's not really even focused on the new Windows Phone 7 platform, which actually directly connects to users' Xbox 360 accounts and lets them interact with gamers on the go like no other phone. In the short term at least Fils-Aime said Apple "can hurt us more than Microsoft."
"I compete with [Farmville publisher] Zynga, I compete with surfing the net, I compete with the newspaper," opined the Nintendo exec. Sounds like the complaints of every teenager's parents. But, he added that Nintendo will come out on top because its products are always and always will be first and foremost, dedicated game devices.
Although Nintendo has launched new DS units since it first developed the platform several years ago, it really hasn't fundamentally changed that much. Thus the DS platform is going to be seven years old next year, which kind of already makes it something of a relic in the world of video games. As such, DS sales are on a steeper decline than ever before.
Nintendo desperately hopes to come back to the top of gamers' minds when the 3DS launches next year. It'll be the first new major hardware released in about five years, so it will certainly get a lot of attention. But one thing Nintendo has proven more than anything else over the last couple years - you need to have killer software. The Wii and DS have become way too inflated with cheaply made, forgettable titles.
The PS3 and Xbox 360, on the other hand, get the products that developers work years on and spend multi-million dollar marketing campaigns on. The 3DS will be a change for Nintendo, because it will actually be the most technologically sophisticated handheld device on the market when it launches.

Larry Gardner, CMA
City Assessor
Valerie Moon, CMA
Assistant Assessor
The City Assessor's Office is located in Ellsworth City Hall at 1 City Hall Plaza.
MISSION - The mission of the Assessing Department is to accurately determine the value of property located within the City of Ellsworth for the purpose of taxation. Assessors are obligated under law to assess all property at its just value as of the 1st of April each year. This department is also responsible for the administration of all property tax data records. We maintain accurate parcel ownership (data) based upon recorded property transactions we receive from the Registry of Deeds and all map data pertinent to accurate parcel identification.
The Assessing Department is committed to creating an assessment system that taxpayers can look to as an example of efficiency, creativity and performance. This department is charged with establishing market-based assessments for almost 9,000 accounts.
The Assessing Office provides one-stop shopping for taxpayer services, including:
INFORMATION – parcel information via the telephone or internet, explanations of tax bills, abatements and exemption programs, tree growth program status, change of mailing address, new street numbers, and general informational publications. We maintain a complete deeded history of ownership for each parcel in town. We also maintain data such as: sale prices, acreage size, building size, zoning, etc. Visit our internet website at www.ellsworthmaine.gov or call us at 667-8674.
ASSISTANCE – assisting taxpayers with applications for Business Equipment Tax Reimbursements (BETR), Homestead Exemptions, Veterans Exemptions, the Tree Growth Program, and other tax relief programs.
PROBLEM SOLVING – "certified" assistance in Assessing for resolution of disputed assessments, and abatement processing. We take pride in preventing problems before they occur by keeping taxpayers informed of their current use obligations. For example: purchasers of land already in Tree Growth will often not know that substantial monetary penalties are automatically triggered by development. The new tree growth owner has the extra responsibility of hiring a licensed forester to prepare a forest management plan. Ideally the buyer would visit our office and learn these things prior to purchase, but very often new owners are taken completely by surprise to learn this information upon receiving it from our office.
All taxpayers have available to them certain qualifying programs created by various Maine State statutes. These are programs that either reduce the assessed value prior to commitment or directly reimburse the taxpayer after taxes are paid. The following is a list of tax relief programs:
1. Homestead Exemption--available to those residential property owners who have certified as to their primary residence as of April 1st. This reduces your taxable valuation by $10,000.
2. Veteran's Exemption--available to those veterans, disabled veterans and widowers of veterans from various qualifying US Armed Services in qualifying wars who are residential property owners and have certified as to their primary residence as of April 1st. This can provide a reduction in taxable valuation of 6,000.
3. Tree Growth--available to those properties with at least 10 forested acres of land that is protected under tree growth and assessed at "current" use rather than "just" value. This program can substantially reduce the tax burden for owners of large tracts of undeveloped land but also has a substantial penalty for withdrawal.
4. Farm Land-- available to those properties used for farming activities.
5. Open Space--available to those properties that have been preserved forever wild through conservation easement or other means.
6. Blind Exemption--$4000 assessed value reduction to the blind.
7. BETR Program-- This program provides up to a 100% direct reimbursement from the State for local personal property taxes paid.
8. BETE Program—similar to the BETR program but allows exemptions for most non-retail type personal property.
9. The Maine Residents Property Tax and Rent Refund "Circuitbreaker" Program has been repealed as part of the enacted state budget for claims beginning on or after August 1, 2013. The Circuitbreaker Program has been replaced by a refundable Property Tax Fairness Credit that can be claimed on the Maine Individual Income Tax Form.
The new credit will be available beginning in January, 2014 on the 2013 Maine Individual Income Tax Form 1040ME. A worksheet will be included with Form 1040ME to calculate the amount of the credit.
For more: http://www.state.me.us/revenue/taxrelief/tnr.htm
10. Hardship Abatements – the City Council (not the assessor) may abate taxes if a person is unable to contribute to the public charges.

Students sign up on a first come, first serve basis once registration is opened in the counseling office. Test cost is $13.oo.
TEST DATE: Wednesday, October 13, 2010

All freshmen and sophomores take these tests.
Practice ACT: This test will be taken by all sophomores as an introduction to the ACT. This gives sophomores an opportunity to take a real, retired ACT test before they take it thier junior year for credit.
TEST DATES: Both PLAN & EXPLORE are being administered on Thursday, April 28, 2011. Practice ACT/WorkKeys will be administered on April 27 & 28, 2011
