Praise for Quakers
To the editor:
Here is something to think about: the Salem Quakers football team put Salem back on the map for football, and what a tremendous job it did. Even went to championship, amazing.
Now these young men deserve not only recognition for their outstanding performance, but I think and so do others that they should not have to pay for their helmets, but should get them for free and also the jersey they wore.
These things hold not only value to them but a great memory of the amazing job and dedication they have for the school and the team. They were awesome and at least deserve that, and not just a pat on the back these young men should be known as the awesome nine.
Congress equals criminals
To the editor:
In lieu of the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's weekend bribe of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., for $300,000,000 it just reaffirms my conviction that the "U.S. Congress is the best government that money can buy." What a bunch of criminals! They should all be in prison, not congress!
How many other multi-million deals were cut in the back room that we don't even know about? It is a shame that our Democratic Senator, Sherrod Brown, is such an insignificant wimp to always so quickly and completely tow the party line for the leadership.
Who knows, if Sen. Brown had held out a little and made a few waves, he might have been able to get a $400 or $500 million bribe for Ohio!
The solution to the health care issue is actually very simple: Taxpayers do not want Congress to force a new program on us that they do not have to participate in themselves, but instead, the taxpayers want to belong to the same program that all federal employees get. Seems more than fair since we pay for the majority of it! I have asked Sen. Brown and Rep. Wilson on several occasions by e-mail if they and their families will use the same plan they force on us and to date have never received an answer. Ha - fat chance!
Thanks for support
To the editor:
I would just like to give a very big thank you to all the people who supported my students when they did there Kick-a-thon on Nov.12. By raising $1,216 this can help out the community dinner held at the Salem Memorial building on Thanksgiving Day.
In two years we have raised $2,626 for this cause and we are going to do it every year as long as it is going on.
To all the people who volunteer there time on this special day I bow to you with the up most respect for with out you. It would be very hard to accomplish cooking and delivering the meals.
To Nancy Miller and Jeff Schoch, keep it up you will always have Salem Self Pro's help.
Thank you.

Life well-lived ends
To the editor:
A life well-lived was taken from us last week, when Salem Historian, Dale Shaffer passed away. This truly humble, gentle man gave more to this city than we will ever know. We are truly blessed to have been left the legacy of his numerous books chronicling the history of the City of Peace. His books are quoted on a daily basis, as the "bible" of Salem history, and I know that first hand, as vice-president of the Salem Historical Society, and secondly by working in the Ohio Room of the Salem Public Library for many years. Not a day went by that someone would come in with a question of Salem's early years, and we were able to find the answer in a Dale Shaffer book.
In the spring of this year, Dale turned 80 years old. Being the quiet, unassuming person he was, he said it was "just another day." But how could we possibly let such a special day go by without recognizing him in a special way. So as not to overstep our boundaries, and to adhere (sort of) to his wishes that he did not want any special recognition, Mayor Jerry Wolford and I visited with him at the Courtyard at Lexington, and presented him with a Proclamation declaring April 17, 2009, as "Dale Shaffer E. Day" in the city of Salem.
It was just a simple gesture on our part, but we found that Dale was touched deeply by this, and he was humbly grateful for the recognition.
Dale's true talent was in the extensive research in every book he wrote. His attention to detail to any book he wrote explains why those very books will live on forever, providing Salem with a true and accurate reflection of times gone by, and preserving the history of our fair city for generations to come.
Salem may have lost a true treasure, but I feel like I personally have lost a dear friend. I will cherish the beautiful music box and letter presented to me by him in appreciation of that 80th birthday visit. It was such a little thing for the mayor and I to do that day, but it appears to have meant much to Dale.
We, the citizens of Salem are indebted to him forever for the wonderful legacy of his 27 books. They will live on forever.
Rest in peace, dear friend - you deserve it.
What they are missing
To the editor:
In the health care debate, there are two things most people are missing that I feel should make people think about health care and what is happening now in our country.
The most important fact to me is the United States has never ever required a private individual to purchase a certain product (health insurance) in order to remain a law-abiding citizen, and must purchase this product or be fined and/or jailed.
Second, if this health insurance plan is so great, why has every proposed amendment been shot down that would require our lawmakers to be bound to the same program they are trying to force on us?
Not a big Wilson fan
To the editor:
Congressman Charlie Wilson recently held a teleconference to explain his favorable vote for government run health care. His reasoning is that he is looking out for all of us to make life better if not easier. How many of "us" ever got a phone call from a stranger who told "us" he knows what we need, it's taken care of, and not to worry.
Even if this stranger announces he his your "Uncle Charlie," what chills are running down your spine? The real question is if that conference was pre-recorded and who has actually seen Smilin' Charlie. A child will hide from the parent after knowing doing something wrong. Better check on Grandma, Charlie's done something.

What is wrong with U.S.?
To the editor:
What is wrong with our country is that we have the impression of having a two party system.
Both parties do not obey by the constitution or make laws for we the people as was said on television about the health care plan put out by the republican party? When asked the Senator said it was unconstitutional he replied yes but less unconstitutional than the Democrat plan?
We become a country ran by banks and large business which will eventually cause the destruction of our Republic as we form alliances with other nations?
Question: Tony Blair is said to be the choice for the president of the European,will this override the UKs laws and when our leaders are pushing for the NAU with Mexico and Canada who will be the president of the NAU? Will our constitution prevail? I doubt it? If we went by the constitution there would be no IRS, Federal Reserve and wars that we do not belong in.
By living by our constitution we would be the wealthiest nation on earth and our people would not have to worry about paying for illegals health care through our taxes.
Taxes are the problem of our system and will cause the death of our republic as the lobby is strong to keep a one party system intact?

This is normal behavior. A webserver plugin will load balance across the
cluster. Does it fail one time only and then only access the "up"
server, or does it fail repeatedly? It should notice that the appserver
is down and stop sending work to it.

Core Texts and Ideas is an introduction to the liberal arts through the study of the great books. Through this integrated sequence of six courses, students explore an ongoing series of debates about human nature, ethics, and the meaning of life that have unfolded over centuries and that have profoundly shaped the modern world. Four fundamental course cover major works of religion, literature, philosophy, ethics, and American constitutional thought, supplemented by two electives that may be drawn from such topics as Eastern classics, the history of science, Shakespeare, and art history. The program easily complements any major at the University, as the courses needed for the certificate can also fulfill up to six University core requirements.
Students intending to complete the Certificate Program in Core Texts and Ideas should contact the CTI advisor to schedule an advising appointment. Once the requirements for the certificate have been met, the advisor will certify completion of the program and it will appear on the student's transcript after graduation.
The Certificate Program requires six courses, one from each of the four areas listed below, plus two electives from a list of qualifying courses. Each of the four areas has several acceptable courses that will satisfy that requirement.
The areas are:
1. A course on the philosophy and literature of the ancient world, primarily from ancient Greece, that explores the fundamental questions about human nature, justice, ethics, and humanity's place in the cosmos.
2. A course on the major texts of world religions, including both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, examined from various perspectives, with an emphasis on the fundamental questions and ideas raised in those texts.
3. A course on the history of political philosophy which introduces students to rival conceptions of the moral basis and goals of political life, as elaborated by revolutionary thinkers in the history of political philosophy.
4. A course on America's constitutional principles that exam ines the primary texts that have shaped or that reflect deeply on American democracy.
View the CTI certificate plan for a list of the specific courses that meet each of these requirements. Students also choose two electives from a list of qualifying courses.
Students interested in a chronological survey of great books of the Western tradition may wish to take the following Core Texts of Western Civilization sequence:
- CTI 304 The Bible and its Interpreters
- CTI 301 Ancient Philosophy and Literature
- PHL 349 History of Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
- CTI 350 Masterworks of World Drama
- GOV 351D Theoretical Foundations of Modern Politics
- GOV 312P America's Constitutional Principles: Core Texts
Participants in the Program in Core Texts and Ideas come from a wide range of majors at UT Austin. CTI students are inquisitive students who enjoy reading and discussing ideas that cross disciplinary boundaries. Many of them share an interest in the study of literature, philosophy, ethics, classics, and government.
The program provides a broad interdisciplinary context for the ideas students will encounter in many fields of study. It trains them in careful reading, cogent writing, and critical reasoning. It teaches them to ask probing questions that others may not be asking. It encourages them to examine their own presuppositions and to listen sympathetically but critically to the ideas of others. By putting contemporary controversies into historical and intellectual perspective, it thus enables students to respond more thoughtfully to the urgent challenges and conflicts of our own time.

After World War II, the Abyssinian breed seemed on the brink of extinction. Breeders worked hard to save the beautiful cats and some cats of unknown parentage were used to strengthen and build the breed. Todays breeders believe some of those mystery ancestors must have carried the gene for long hair.
As the Abyssinian breed continued to gain popularity, occasionally a longhaired kitten or two would appear in litters. Liking the fox-like, exotic appearance of these babies, several breeders began working with the longhaired versions. In the United States, Evelyn Mague began the Somali movement, and was the woman who named the breed.
The Cat Fanciers Association accepted the ruddy and red colors of the Somali for championship status in 1979. The blue Somali received this status in 1986, followed by the fawn color in 1990. Today the breed enjoys worldwide popularity.

Officer who was captured by the Germans in 1940, twice escaped and ended the war in Colditz Castle
GEORGE DREW and Pat Fergusson (obituary, March 25, 2004) featured in a number of articles, books and television programmes about Oflag IVC — Colditz Castle in Saxony, chiefly because of their success in brewing intoxicating liquor. Their "Glenbucket" certainly helped some fellow prisoners to endure their final years of captivity, each already having made hazardous escape attempts from camps were they had been previously held.
George Shepherd Drew was a regular officer commissioned from Sandhurst in 1938 after attending Wellingborough College. He went to France with 2nd Battalion The Northamptonshire Regiment after the outbreak of war and was taken prisoner

how unsigned integer store negative numbers
hi! my doubt is how unsigned integers store negative numbers?
if i write ,int i=-9 then how -9 is stored in i(8 bit).
if we again print the value in i we won't get -9.but we get some larger number.why it so?
Re: how unsigned integer store negative numbers
They don't. Unsigned integers are unsigned, by definition, and therefore always positive.
If you try then what will happen is that the bit pattern of -9 will be stored in the integer and interpreted as a positive number. Negative numbers are stored in two's complement, which is like 1's complement (where you flip all the bits) but then you add 1.
11110110=1's complement of 9
11110111=2's complement of 9
So if this is put into unsigned 8-bit storage, then the result will be interpreted as 247.
Re: how unsigned integer store negative numbers
By the way, int i=-9 defines a signed integer by default (unless your compiler has a flag that changes that default behaviour). For unsigned integers you need to specify the unsigned keyword, i.e.
unsigned int i=-9;

Christian wins landmark discrimination case
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that a British Airways employee suffered discrimination at work over her Christian beliefs. Nadia Eweida took her case to the ECHR after BA made her stop wearing her white gold cross visibly. In a landmark judgment defining the limits of religious freedom, Judges ruled her rights had been violated under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Eweida was awarded €2,000 (£1,600) in compensation by the court in Strasbourg after it ruled against the United Kingdom, stating in its judgement that manifesting religion is a "fundamental right". But three other Christian applicants lost their appeals: Lilian Ladele, a local authority registrar who also lives in London; Shirley Chaplin, 57, a nurse from Exeter; and Gary McFarlane, 51, a Bristol marriage counsellor. Secular groups have welcomed a Strasbourg court ruling that religious freedoms do not trump other human rights as a victory against discrimination.
Pakistan's supreme court orders arrest of prime minister
Pakistan's Supreme Court has ordered the arrest of Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf and 15 others over corruption allegations, raising fears of a political crisis just months ahead of an election. The arrest was ordered in connection with a long-running scandal involving contracts for power stations, but the timing of the intervention by Pakistan's highly political judiciary raised instant suspicions. Fawad Chaudhry, an adviser to the prime minister, described it as a "soft coup" designed to bolster the position of Tahir-ul-Qadri, who is camped out with about 20,000 demonstrators. The news broke on television stations as a Muslim cleric addressed tens of thousands of protesters who have massed on the capital city for an extended sit-in to protest against corruption and electoral malpractice by Pakistan's politicians. The Pakistani government has often been at loggerheads in recent years with the judiciary and military.
Mali troops expected to more than triple
France is expected to more than triple its troop numbers in Mali as raids continue on Islamist insurgents following overnight air strikes on a small town that had been seized by the rebels. Sources close to the French defence minister said French troop numbers would "progressively" reach 2,500. Meanwhile, troops from a regional West African force will be in Mali within days to help a French intervention against Islamist rebels, Nigeria says. French President Francois Hollande, who arrived early on Tuesday in the United Arab Emirates, added that overnight strikes in Mali had "achieved their objective". France has continued to launch air strikes against Islamist rebels in Mali as plans to deploy African troops gathered pace on Tuesday.
Police pay to be cut by 20%
The starting salary for police constables in England and Wales is being cut by £4,000 to £19,000, the home secretary has confirmed. Theresa May has accepted the recommendations on reform made by the Police Arbitration Tribunal, equivalent to cutting starting salaries by almost a fifth. The package, which was revealed as part of several political developments, also includes the phasing out of automatic "competence-related threshold payments" of £1,000 a year that have been criticised as "grab a grand" allowances. However, the Home Secretary said plans to bring in compulsory severance across all ranks will be held back for further negotiation.
Cuba confirms 51 cholera cases in Havana
Cuba's health ministry has confirmed a cholera outbreak in Havana with 51 people infected – the biggest incidence of the disease there in decades. The country's capital released an official statement saying health workers had detected an increase in "watery diarrhoea" in some districts, which has been established as cholera. The statement did not say if anyone had died from the disease. Fears were increasing in recent days as doctors began making door-to-door enquiries in Havana but officials until now had kept silent.

Syracuse, NY -- A Cicero woman who admitted she had used cocaine prior to a 2008 car crash that killed her 4-year-old son pleaded guilty today in Onondaga County Court to felony vehicular manslaughter.
Charlene Bernet, 45, of 14 Brodhead Drive, made the plea in return for a sentence of what is called shock probation: five years probation with the first six months spent jailed at Jamesville Correctional Facility.
Determining what was best for Bernet's surviving son, who blames himself for the crash, became "a very significant factor" in the plea negotiations, Chief Assistant District Attorney Matthew Doran said after the hearing.
Doran told Judge Joseph E. Fahey that there had been extensive negotiations between the district attorney's office and defense lawyer Thomas Miller to reach an agreement in what Doran called the toughest case in his 15 years in the business.
On April 5, 2008, Bernet drove through a stop sign at Whiting and South Bay roads and collided with a pickup truck. In the car with Bernet were her two sons, Raymond, 4, and Charles, 7. Raymond Bernet died the next day.
"Sadly, Charlie has been blaming himself because they were going to his baseball game," Doran said.
Doran said he was certain that the plea deal was going to be controversial to some, but that the district attorney's office had to consider "what is in Charlie's best interest."
Bernet was not visibly impaired, but a deputy going through the wrecked vehicle found a small amount of cocaine, Doran said. Bernet admitted to police that she struggled with cocaine abuse and admitted using cocaine the night before the crash, Doran said.
Doran said there were some problems with taking the case to trial. While the prosecution has an expert witness who would testify that Bernet was impaired at the time, the defense had an expert witness that would testify she was not impaired.
There also was a question of the blood sample Bernet gave at the hospital which showed cocaine and byproduct of cocaine after metabolism, he said. The blood was not stored in a manner for forensic testing and blood could have continued to metabolize cocaine in the storage tube, he said.
"Charlene Bernet has lost basically everything that was important to her that April morning," Miller said.
Besides the death of her child, Bernet lost her job, he said.
Fran Walter, the law guardian for Charles Bernet also spoke at the plea hearing, explaining the mental state of the boy since the crash.
"His first perception of the accident is he caused it because they were going to his baseball game, which is a child's perception," Walter said.
After both sides were heard, Fahey agreed to the plea deal "with reluctance," and warned of consequences if she violates her probation.
Bernet answered guilty in a clear voice when Fahey asked how she pleads.
Sentencing was set for Jan. 5.

Tyra Banks is going back to school, and not just any school: The super-model-turned-mogul has been attending Harvard Business School since last year.
But why did Banks, who runs a successful multi-million-dollar empire, feel the need to further her education?
"In order for my company to grow and be the best, and to reach these women, and to serve them, I needed the best. So I went to the best," Banks, 37, told CBS News recently.
Going back to school has been a long time coming for Banks, who started modeling at age 17, just months before she was supposed to start at L.A.'s Loyola Marymount University.
"The day that I put college on hold because I got discovered to go to Paris and try this whole modeling thing ... was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life," she said.
But Banks turned that opportunity into dreamlike success: In 2009, Forbes listed her as the highest paid woman in prime time, with an annual income of $30 million.
Now, Banks can clearly afford the steep tuition at Harvard's elite Owner/President Management Program, which requires students participate in intensive three-week sessions costing $31,000 a year for three years.
The America's Next Top Model host admits that people are often shocked to hear she's attending such a prestigious university – but Banks likes it that way.
"When people have low expectations, you're just constantly going, 'Ta-da!' And they're like, 'Wow,' " she said. "It doesn't take a lot to wow them when they have low expectations."

After back to back close-but-not-quite losses in less than a week, the Raiders' 2013 season is all but over- at least in terms of any possibility of making the post season.
The Raiders still have four games left this season, however, and head coach Dennis Allen indicated that he will be using the last quarter of the season to evaluate the team for next year, especially his two quarterbacks, Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin.
Allen said, "We need to have a good evaluation of what we have at the quarterback position as we move forward." He added, "These last four weeks will be instrumental in us being able to do that."
Both Pryor and McGloin have had good moments and bad but neither is a clear-cut starter at this point. Pryor, who started most of the first half of the season, is big, strong, fast and one of the most athletic quarterbacks in the NFL but seems to have regressed as a passer as the season went on.
McGloin is practically his opposite: short, average arm, and not especially athletic. However, he is a gritty competitor and has shown good anticipation and timing with his receivers. The passing game has looked much better with McGloin under center than with Pryor.
Does that mean that the Raiders will go with either as their starters next season? It shouldn't.
The 2014 draft looks to be stacked with good pro prospects and, with the Raiders being unable to win more than 8 games in 2013 (and with that total extremely unlikely), the Raiders will likely be in good position to draft a quarterback in April, should one they like fall to them.
It's understandable that Allen doesn't completely know his quarterbacks, however, as neither has had much time under center in games. You can expect to see a good amount of both in the next 4 games, as Allen attempts to get a good handle on his quarterbacks by the end of the year.
For what it's worth, Allen did announce that McGloin will continue to start for now, saying, "I don't think he's done anything to play himself out of that position."
The Raiders need to evaluate more than simply the two quarterbacks, however.
Jared Veldheer was back playing this week for the first time since he was injured in preseason. By all accounts, he aquitted himself well on Thursday, but he will be a free agent at the end of the year and the Raiders will need to make sure he's fully recovered before possibly re-signing the left tackle.
On defense, DE Lamarr Houston looks to be a priority. However, he has been hot and cold this year and he'll need a solid final quarter to build his value. On Thursday versus the Cowboys, Houston was essentially a non-factor, ending with 2 tackles but failing to get to quarterback Tony Romo or provide much of any pressure the entire game.
There are a great many of players that signed one year contracts with the Raiders this year, too, that need to be evaluated. They include FS Charles Woodson (who may or may not want to come back), CB Tracy Porter, DE Jason Hunter, C/G Andre Gurode, CB Mike Jenkins, RB Rashad Jennings, TE Juron Mastrud, DT Daniel Muir, RT Tony Pashos, S Usama Young and DTs Vance Walker and Pat Sims.
Dennis Allen and GM Reggie McKenzie will have to evaluate these players to see which are worthy of bringing back for another year or more. Therefore, much of the team has incentive to keep playing even when the Raiders become officially eliminated from the playoffs, which is all but assured to happen.
Allen agreed that the team should continue to be competitive. "When you watch us play and you watch us work every day, there is absolutely nothing that would give me any indication that there is anybody in that locker room that has any give up in them," said Allen.
He added, "I understand where we're at from a record standpoint, but these guys have gone out there and given us everything that they've had every single week. I continue to expect to see that for the last four weeks of the season."
After the season ends, the real work will start for McKenzie, who will finally have more money to use in 2014 and needs to build a team with more talent from top to bottom than he's had in his first two seasons.

"Small Town Tragedy," Shurman Listen close to this catchy, little ditty and you'll start realizing that it hits a little too close to home. Here's a great performance from this year's SXSW with some John Popper harmonica thrown in for good measure.
"Mean Old Man," Jerry Lee Lewis The Killer channels his inner Cash on the first single from his new album (the single's been around since last year but the album was just released this month), written by Kris Kristofferson with backing vocals by Ronnie Wood. Now that's an all-star lineup.
"Kill Me Carolyne," The Whigs While technically only half as good as The Afghan Whigs, The Whigs are still pretty good -- and this video rules.

Session 109 - Galaxies: Collisions, Counter-Rotating Disks.
Display session, Thursday, January 18
North Banquet Hall, Convention Center
Long-slit observations are presented of a sample of 10 ring galaxies based on data obtained with the 2.1-meter KPNO telescope and the GOLDCAM spectrograph. These data, which are supplimented with VLA HI observations in 2 cases, are used to determine global kinematics and elemental abundances in the galaxies, and the result are compared with expectations from simple models. In particular, the abundance of oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur are determine for rings of different radii in order to determine whether most gas-rich ring systems are of intrinsically low metallicity or whether the HII regions in the larger rings are simply sampling the outer disks of galaxies with normal radial abundance gradients. The spectra also explore the circumnuclear environment of AGNs in NGC 985 and Wakamatsu's ring (both Seyfert Galaxies). The metallicity measurements have implications for the interpretation of the color evolution of stellar populations in ring galaxies.

Musicians, artists and supporters are coming together Friday for a fundraiser for David Grohl Alley.
The party starts at 5 p.m. at the Warren Parking Deck, 140 Franklin St. S.W., which is adjacent to the lobby named after the Foo Fighters' frontman, who was born in Warren. If the weather cooperates, activities are planned on the top level of the deck; if rain is in the forecast, everything will be set up the next level down.
''This thing literally fell together overnight,'' according to Paul Clouser, a downtown resident and business owner working on the project through Main Street Warren.
About a month ago, Marty Cohen and Ken Haidaris, promoters of Saturday's Rocktoberfest at the Warren Community Amphitheatre, offered the alley supporters a chance to do something in conjunction with that event. Rather than do something earlier in the day, they decided to create an event the night before.
''Main Street jumped right on it and so far so good,'' Clouser said.
Bands scheduled to perform include Larry Long Jr. & the Backsliders, Jones & Company and Shotgun Willy along with a special jam session.
Pat Galgozy, director of Trumbull Art Gallery, said several area artists will be selling Grohl-themed work with a portion of the proceeds going to the project, and collaborative works by local artists will be auctioned off to raise money. David Grohl Alley T-shirts and shot glasses also will be sold.
Admission is free, but organizers will be accepting donations throughout the evening and hope to raise money through beer / wine cooler sales and art / souvenir sales.
Money will go to the continued renovation and upkeep of the alley and the efforts to create a permanent home for the World's Largest Drumsticks, which were unveiled in July at the Warren Community Amphitheatre, where they remained for the summer.
Downtown Warren councilman, resident and business owner Greg Bartholomew said current plans call for putting the drumsticks at the Main Avenue S.W. entrance of the alley with concrete bases and metal arms to hold them in place.
If that is where the drumsticks are displayed, that end of the alley will be closed to vehicle traffic. Bartholomew said they still are awaiting final approval from the different city departments, but right now there doesn't appear to be any objections to the proposal.
Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership secured a $2,000 grant through the Ohio Art Council to help finance the project, which includes increased lighting, benches and additional art work in the alley. Tentative plans also call for putting a large banner at the North Park Avenue entrance recreating the full page ad Grohl placed in the Tribune Chronicle thanking the city for the alley and the drumsticks.
Both Bartholomew and Clouser said the alley already is drawing visitors from several states. Clouser said he met someone in the alley from Denmark who was visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and made the trek to Warren after hearing about the alley.
''If everything comes to fruition, it will be a very cool place to visit,'' Clouser said.

HTTP: The Definitive Guideby David Gourley Brian Totty
Web technology has become the foundation for all sorts of critical networked applications and far-reaching methods of data exchange, and beneath it all is a fundamental protocol: HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP. HTTP: The Definitive Guide documents everything that technical people need for using HTTP efficiently. A reader can understand how web applications work, how the core Internet protocols and architectural building blocks interact, and how to correctly implement Internet clients and servers.
HTTP: The Definitive Guideby David Gourley Brian Totty Marjorie Sayer Anshu Aggarwal Sailu Reddy
Behind every web transaction lies the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) --- the language of web browsers and servers, of portals and search engines, of e-commerce and web services. Understanding HTTP is essential for practically all web-based programming, design, analysis, and administration. While the basics of HTTP are elegantly simple, the protocol's advanced features are notoriously confusing, because they knit together complex technologies and terminology from many disciplines. This book clearly explains HTTP and these interrelated core technologies, in twenty-one logically organized chapters, backed up by hundreds of detailed illustrations and examples, and convenient reference appendices. HTTP: The Definitive Guide explains everything people need to use HTTP efficiently -- including the "black arts" and "tricks of the trade" -- in a concise and readable manner. In addition to explaining the basic HTTP features, syntax and guidelines, this book clarifies related, but often misunderstood topics, such as: TCP connection management, web proxy and cache architectures, web robots and robots.txt files, Basic and Digest authentication, secure HTTP transactions, entity body processing, internationalized content, and traffic redirection. Many technical professionals will benefit from this book. Internet architects and developers who need to design and develop software, IT professionals who need to understand Internet architectural components and interactions, multimedia designers who need to publish and host multimedia, performance engineers who need to optimize web performance, technical marketing professionals who need a clear picture of core web architectures and protocols, as well as untold numbers of students and hobbyists will all benefit from the knowledge packed in this volume. There are many books that explain how to use the Web, but this is the one that explains how the Web works. Written by experts with years of design and implementation experience, this book is the definitive technical bible that describes the "why" and the "how" of HTTP and web core technologies. HTTP: The Definitive Guide is an essential reference that no technically-inclined member of the Internet community should be without.

Today was the battle of the wounded wing pitchers as the Dodgers and Hong-chih Kuo met Wade Miller and the Cubs in front of another sparse crowd at Wrigley Field. Wade Miller actually didn't look too bad, giving up two earned runs on a dinger to Marlon Anderson in five innings of work. The Cubs promptly tied the game up but Carlos Marmol got shelled, giving up three runs to the Dodgers on a homer to JD Drew.
The Cubs came to life when the Dodgers brought in Brett Tomko – Cedeno and Pierre singled, then The Riot did a beautiful job of hitting the ball where it was pitched, sending it bounding into right and scoring Cedeno. Aramis Ramirez then came up and launched one into the left field bleachers, giving the Cubs a 6-5 lead. Dusty did the right thing in the ninth, going to Bob Howry for the close and saving Dempster for a less critical situation. Ryan Theriot was removed from the game with a bleeding fingertip, the injury did not appear to be critical.
Cincinnati comes to town tomorrow and I shall be blacked out until Sunday due to the fact that Major League Baseball actually thinks that people in Nashville, TN care about the Cincinnati Reds. What sense does that make? Why would most people in Tennessee actually care about some team up north? Baseball's blackout rules are truly draconian!

WARSAW, Poland - An archbishop who was one of the few Poles at the Vatican when John Paul II became pope announced his resignation Thursday, the highest-ranking prelate to be brought down in a spate of sexual harassment allegations shaking the Roman Catholic Church.
Archbishop Juliusz Paetz of Poznan, an appointee and longtime acquaintance of the only Polish pope in history, stepped down amid a mounting scandal in the overwhelmingly Catholic country over accusations that he made sexual advances on young clerics.
At a Mass at Poznan's cathedral, Paetz said he was resigning "for the good of the church" but protested his innocence, saying that "my kindness and spontaneity were misinterpreted."
"Not everyone understood my open attitude to people and their problems," Paetz, 67, said of the allegations, which became public in February when the newspaper Rzeczpospolita cited unidentified priests as saying he archbishop had been accused by numerous priests.
Church officials in Poland then confirmed the Vatican had launched an investigation.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Colombia is a country that lives through music. It's hard to go anywhere without hearing the distinctive strains of salsa, cumbia, or vallenato blaring out at you. Buses, corner-shops and taxis become more like nightclubs, and the people have an enthusiasm for dancing that is pretty unrivalled. However, if this isn't really your thing, don't let yourself be put off; there is a lot more to Colombian music than these classic genres. Bogota is the home of a thriving group of independent musicians creating some of the most interesting, challenging and enjoyable alternative music being made anywhere in the world right now (in this writer's humble opinion anyway).
Whilst there are a huge number of bands playing music in Colombia's capital, I'm going to focus on a small group of them who, working together and playing in each other's bands, have created a fascinating music scene focused around experimentation, the subversion of traditional genres, and a loving devotion to Colombia's musical heritage. These bands (some names may be familiar, some less so) include Frente Cumbiero, Ondatropica, Meridian Brothers, Los Piranas and Romperayo; and most of them can be seen playing in Bogota on a fairly regular basis. The 'scene' (for want of a better word) is focused around popular bar Matik-Matik (Cra 11 #67-20): a small night-spot and vinyl store tucked away in an unobtrusive street corner in Chapinero. These bands all sound very different, but they share a common talent for making challenging and exciting modern Colombian music.
The most familiar band will likely be Ondatropica, who caused a global splash with their sprawling, startling eponymous debut album in 2012. This project was curated by Will 'Quantic' Holland and Mario 'Pretty-much-all-the-other-bands-I've-mentioned' Galeano, and included the contributions of some of Colombia's most legendary tropical musicians. Also featured on this record were Pedro Ojeda and Eblis Alvarez, and it is the work of these men, and the aforementioned Galeano, which I'm going to focus on.
These guys all feature in Frente Cumbiero, and make up Los Piranas. Born out of a passion for Colombia's musical heritage, Frente Cumbiero make an exciting, modern form of cumbia. Galeano has this to say when asked about the importance of cumbia to Colombia: "The bus rides to commute, the family reunions, the vacations, any shop… it's a music that transcends situations and social classes. It may be something popular somewhere else, but for the Colombians Cumbia has a touch of elegance, that's the reason why it's always been here." Galeano also lectures on music in several Colombian universities, and his passion and expertise regarding Colombia's musical history is inspiring to see.
Los Piranas is a different animal entirely (excuse the bi-lingual pun…): a three-piece 'tropical noise' outfit, whose debut album Toma Su Jabon Kapax, intermittently recalls Peruvian psychedelic 'chicha' music, New York No-Wave, and German Krautrock, as well as the more familiar cumbia rhythms. It's a demanding but rewarding record, made even more dramatic when seen played live. Here's the video for their latest single, Salvemos Nuestro Folclor: it's pretty crazy so get ready…
Galeano is absent from Meridian Brothers, and Alvarez steps to the fore. Very much the experimental group of the scene, Meridian Brothers have released a few albums to much critical fanfare. Their last release, Desesperanza, was a fascinating meld of electronics, ever-changing vocals, and traditional salsa sounds. This group is very much a product of Alvarez's avant-garde inspirations, and his more amusing take on the tropical music traditions of Colombia.
Finally, there's Romperayo, which is essentially Pedro Ojeda's project, although Alvarez still features on synths and samplers. Very much a drum-led ensemble, I was lucky enough to see Romperayo in Matik-Matik this past weekend, and, let me tell you, they didn't disappoint. A propulsive, rhythmic group, they're almost impossible to listen to without wanting to move your feet.
So, if you're interested, check out these bands and get down to Matik-Matik on a weekend when they're playing, you won't regret it. Watching talented musicians at the top of their game is rarely a bad experience! Alternatively, if it's not your cup of tea, no worries: it's Colombia, there's more musical variety than you can shake a stick at. Just get involved, don't be shy and, most importantly baila! That's what it's really all about.

Dr Marks acknowledged that a substantial proportion of his agoraphobic patients, following improvement during exposure treatment, still had active panic disorder. Although his scale defined what proportion of the patients no longer had any spontaneous panic attacks, he did not reply to Dr Grunhaus' request for this information.Dr Marks asserted that the handicap in agoraphobia is due to phobic avoidance; however, these patients also complain bitterly about their panic attacks, crave relief, and experience exacerbations of their avoidant patterns with recurrent panic attacks. The idea that the first priority is to remove behaviorally the avoidant patterns seems misguided to us, since the panic attacks can be regularly and entirely alleviated by appropriate pharmacologic intervention. The addition of imipramine in our studies markedly improved behavioral treatment. Dr Marks' treatment strategy depends on his belief that pharmacologic interventions with spontaneous panic attacks are useless.Each practitioner should decide the weight of

"I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light."
― Helen Keller
Early the next morning Revak put on his new steel armor and went to meet Lydia near the Whiterun stables. Revak had briefed her on his task the night previous. Like him, she'd already donned her armor. The Jarl had arranged transport for them, at least to the base of the mountain. When she saw Revak coming down the hill she jumped into the carriage bed and waited for him. He joined her, and then the driver began down the path toward the mountains in the distance. The mountain was about a half day's journey away. The rode in silence as the sun rose. It had been an hour before Lydia broke the silence, "Who are you?" she asked, half shouting over the sound of the wheels.
"My name's-" Revak began.
"I know your name," she interrupted.
"I'm Revak," Revak said shortly, ignoring her rude response.
She looked at him. "What kind of name is that?"
Revak shrugged. "I don't know, some sort of lost, deep, meaningful language I suppose. It's not like I chose it." Her scowl grew. "What kind of name is 'Lydia'?"
She looked like she was really trying not to slap him. "It was my grandmother's name, thank you very much,
"I know what it is," she said curtly. "So who are you that the Jarl sends you on special missions."
Again, Revak shrugged. "No idea, maybe just I was in the right place at the right time, that or that I survived Helgen."
They were quiet for a time, and then Lydia looked at him. "What happened there, at Helgen?"
"It was-" Revak shook his head. "One second I'm in line to get my head chopped off, the next I'm running away because a dragon is burning down the village."
She raised an eyebrow. "'To get your head chopped off'? You're a criminal?"
"Then why were you going to be executed?"
Revak sighed,
More and more lies, at least I seem to be good at it.
"I was traveling from Bruma to Skyrim, but I walked into an ambush meant for a group of Stormcloaks. The Imperials thought I was a Stormcloak, next thing I know an axe is threatening to make me a bit shorter."
They sat silent for the rest of the ride, when they reached the bottom of the mountain the driver left them alone. As they climbed they snacked on a few dry biscuits that the inn keep had given Revak before he left. It was a long and tiring climb; luckily an ancient path still existed for them to follow as they ascended into the sky. Underneath his armor Revak's skin itched, not because it was uncomfortable, it was a familiar feeling before a battle; at least to Revak. He'd felt the same way during the sack of Sancre Tor centuries ago.
The higher they climbed the colder it became; though it didn't seem to bother Lydia at all. Soon the grass was replaced by a decent blanket of snow, and the trees were no longer green. They knew they were close when the reached the point that there were no trees at all. It was then that Revak secured his iron shield to his arm. He advised Lydia to do the same, the ruin was known to be a lure for bandits. Revak didn't want to be taken unawares.
Four hours had passed before they were in front of the Barrow. It was a beautiful, yet terrible, sight. Dozens of stairs led up to a pavilion that was covered with great black arches. The ground was scorched from the many campfires of adventurers that had attempted to conquer the ruin and purge it of its undead and treasures. Looking back at Lydia, Revak donned his horned helm and drew his blade. Lydia drew her blade as well, and they cautiously began to climb the steps. Revak's breath was white as it escaped from under his helmet.
They reached the entrance with no trouble, but they found the doors ajar. "Bandits," Revak breathed. Lydia nodded. Revak rolled his shoulders. "Divines, grant us safe passage, and should we perish, lead us to Sovngarde," he prayed softly. He wasn't sure what would happen if he died. He guessed he'd just wake up back as a god. But the possibility that he would actually die made him nervous. He held his breath as they entered the Barrow.
The entrance was almost cave-like, the ruin having been buried much deeper into the mountain. Revak was staring at the sheer size of the cavern, when he heard Lydia call his name. "Look here," she said. She'd found the only source of light, a small fire was still burning, surrounded by a host of corpses. The kills were fresh, a mix of draugr and what most likely were a few foolish bandits who'd thought to warm up before entering the ruin.
"This is wrong," Revak growled as he scanned the carnage.
"What do you mean?"
"If something killed the bandits, it'd still be walking around," he explained, "but there's nothing here, a bandit survived."
Lydia stared at the door to her left, the one that lead further into the ruin. "And he went inside."
Revak stepped over a dead bandit. "Might as well follow."
Lydia gave him a small smile, she grabbed an unlit torch and lit it using the dying campfire. "Agreed," she said as the torch caught. Revak was grateful for the light as they descended into the ruin. They'd made it one level down, one of most likely many.
Revak caught Lydia give a shiver as they made it into the next level. "What's wrong?" he asked her.
"The walls," she said, reaching out and touching the stone wall, which Revak just noticed was covered in white goo. "Webs," she cursed. "Spiders. I hate those things."
Revak tried not to laugh. "Then show them how much you hate them when we run into them."
"How did you end up doing this job anyways?" Lydia asked suddenly.
Revak smiled. "I have no idea," he explained. "I guess the Jarl just trusted me."
"Must be nice," Lydia scoffed. "I've been trying to get him to recognize me for years."
Revak stopped, looking at her gently. "He suggested you for this quest. I think he already recognized you, just that there wasn't a job important enough for you to do."
"That's one way to put it," she laughed lightly.
"At least-" Revak paused mid sentence as he heard a noise somewhere down the hall. He motioned to silence. He hadn't heard just a noise, it was a voice.
Revak tilted his head toward the sound of the noise,
Over there.
Lydia nodded. They made their way down the hall toward the voice; it seemed to be talking to itself. They followed the hall into a large chamber coated in white slime. Egg sacks and large webbing that hung from the ceiling. Across the room there was an Argonian that had been woven into a web, trapped midair. "Damn eight legged bugs," he was cursing. Then he saw Revak and Lydia across the room. "HEY!" he screamed as if they hadn't seen him. "Get me out! Hurry, before they come back!"
Revak almost wanted to ask 'Before what comes back?', but he was answered before he even had a chance to ask. A wave of spiders descended upon them, screeching as they landed and launched attacks. Revak assumed a defensive position, his shield side in front as the first few of the spiders attacked him, the first two collided with his shield and Revak knocked them back with ease. One shot a stream of webbing at his head, Revak ducked, but as he did a spider took the opportunity to climb onto is back.
"GET OFF!" Revak shouted as he threw himself backwards and into the wall, smashing the spider that still clung to his armor. Revak repeated to slam himself into the wall until he heard a satisfying screech and the weight fell off his back. He slashed at a spider in front of him, slicing off half its legs, it was screeching as it crawled away on its remaining limbs. Catching his breath he saw Lydia in the middle of the room, fending off five spiders at once as she wielded her sword in one hand and a torch in the other.
With a roar Revak charged the group, quickly dispatching two of the spiders, while Lydia had set another two on fire. The final spider backed away, but Revak chopped it in half before it could flee.
Revak shook the blood from his blade, spattering the wall with a pattern of blood. He dropped his shield and felt his head and the back of his neck making sure there was no blood or bite marks. "Are you okay?" he asked Lydia, who was busy setting the egg sacks on fire.
"I'm fine," she said. She pointed at the Argonian still trapped in the webs. "What about him? Should we leave him there?"
"I can hear you, you know!" the Argonian shouted.
Revak shook his head. "No, leaving him here is wrong. Who knows how many of those things are down here?" He walked over the Argonian. He was of a decent height and wearing leather armor. The green tint to his scales told Revak that he was a youth.
"I'm going to free you," Revak said as he drew the dagger he kept sheathed at his belt, "and you're going to leave this place and not come back."
"Yes, yes," the Argonian bandit pleaded, "just let me out of here!" Revak began cutting away at the webbing, and in a few minutes the Argonian was free. Revak took a step back as the Argonian stood and brushed himself off. "Thank you stranger." Next thing he knew the Argonian had a dagger in his hand. "Too bad I have to kill you now."
"Fool of a lizard," Revak heard Lydia curse.
Revak stood tall. "Really? We just cut down a bunch of spiders that you couldn't even defend yourself against, and you dare to threaten us?"
The Argonian shrugged. "It's just business."
Revak sighed, and then he used his open hand to punch the Argonian in the stomach, followed by a hilt to the wrist holding the dagger. The Argonian's blade fell to the ground. Before the Argonian could retaliate Revak had grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground. He held the Argonian there for a few seconds. "I'm going to let you down," Revak said slowly, "and you're going to leave, or next time, I won't be so nice."
The Argonian whimpered. Revak lowered him to the ground. Scrambling the Argonian got to his feet and sprinted to the exit. Revak turned and picked up his shield from where he'd dropped it. "I would have just killed him." Lydia commented.
Revak shook his head. "He was nothing but a fool; that shouldn't be a death sentence." He rolled his shoulders. "Come on, let's get this Dragonstone and let's get out of here."
As they walked Revak kept his blade ready and his shield up. Lydia covered his back, her torch lighting the hall and making the walls dance with their own shadows. The walls were lined with multiple little hubs, each containing a standing draugr. None of them were moving now, but they stayed as quiet as possible lest they wake the sleeping dead.
They followed the hall into a small chamber. An altar sat in the middle, and door on the opposite side of the room lead to yet another hall and beyond. They made their way across the room slowly. Revak froze when he heard a soft click coming from behind him. He turned and saw Lydia's face had turned white. Then he heard a growling coming from the hall they'd just passed. Lydia turned and now Revak could see a silhouette in the frame of the hall.
"S***," he cursed as he guarded Lydia's side. The draugr carried an axe and charged blindly with it. Revak caught it with his shield, and, spinning knocked the weapon back. He then slashed the draugr, opening its chest. The undead slowed, and then Revak dislodged its head from its body.
Two more draugr came from the hall. Luckily for Revak and Lydia the hall acted like a sort of fatal funnel, preventing both draugr from attacking at once. Lydia set one's arm ablaze with the torch before removing its head. The next one Revak bashed with his shield and then cut almost cleanly in half.
"Thanks," Lydia murmured.
Revak smiled. "You get my back, I get yours right?" She returned his smile. They followed the next tunnel which happened to lead to the central chamber. A waterfall could be heard across the large cavern like chamber, stairs lead to a large wall and altar that loomed above.
If this Dragonstone is anywhere
, Revak thought,
it's there
. Lydia followed him as he climbed the stairs. There was a pedestal, a sarcophagus, and of course a large curved wall with some sort of carvings. Curious, Revak approached the wall. The language written on it definitely wasn't Common. The language of the dragon's covered the wall. Most of it was unrecognizable to Revak, except for three words Revak recognized as a Shout he once knew very well.
Fus ro dah.
Unrelenting Force, the Shout that was said to tear down walls and siege entire cities; of course the words for that particular Shout were here. Revak remembered that each Shout consisted of three words in the language of the dragons. Revak murmured the words to himself, but to no effect.
"I bet the tablet you're looking for is in here," Lydia said behind him. Revak turned and saw she was pointing to the sarcophagus.
It makes sense
, he thought.
Revak dropped his shield and sheathed his blade, and then he pushed as hard as he could against the top of the sarcophagus. Heavy as it was it took Revak some time in getting it off. A few minutes later the top slid across and landed on the ground on the opposite side with a thud. Once the dust cleared a heavily decorated draugr was revealed inside. Underneath its crossed hands was a stone tabled covered in the Dragon Language.
Carefully, Revak removed the tablet. As soon as it cleared the area of the body Revak heard a loud growl, and the very air seemed to still. "Lydia?" Revak said softly.
"Can you hold this?" Revak said holding out the tablet. Lydia nodded and took the tablet as the draugr lord rose from the tomb.
It was larger than the other draugr they'd run into. It stood and drew a large battle axe that was black and wicked. Revak picked up his shield and drew his blade. "Divines guide me," he whispered.
The draugr didn't charge instead it seemed to puff its chest. No! Revak said to himself. He was about to tell Lydia to back away when the draugr opened his mouth and Shouted, "
Lydia screamed as she flew backwards and landed on her back. Revak stumbled as he was knocked off balance, kept on his feet only because he saw the Shout coming. The draugr lord then charged his blade high above its head. Revak caught it on his shield as it came down. The strike was so powerful it dented the shield; bruising Revak's arm. Cursing, Revak jumped aside as the draugr attacked again, missing Revak by inches.
Revak swung at the monster's legs, striking its calf. It growled in anger and swung again, and again Revak dodged this time slashing at its other leg as he did so. The draugr staggered and Revak took the opening to slash at its throat. Its head severed from its body and it fell to the ground and started to turn to dust.
Gasping for breath Revak threw his damaged shield down in frustration. He jogged to Lydia and helped her up. "Are you all right?" She nodded, still clutching the stone.
Grabbing Lydia's hand with his uninjured arm, he led her up the stairs and to the secondary exit. They found themselves outside again, the bitter cold greeting them. Happy to find that they were much lower on the mountain than the entrance had been.
Two hours later they had made their way to the base of the mountain where they found the carriage had returned. Revak greeted the driver and helped Lydia board. He couldn't wait to get back to Whiterun.
It was nearly midnight by the time they arrived at Whiterun. Revak and Lydia thanked the driver as they entered the citys' main gate. The streets were quiet as most of its citizens had already went to sleep for the night. Only the tavern seemed to still be alive. It glowed in the night as its patrons drank the night away. Tired and cold, they made their way to Dragonsreach. Revak now clutching the Dragonstone.
The ascended the steps, nodding to the guard as they entered the palace. Revak had thought that he would have to wake the wizard, but as they neared the door he noticed light coming from the room, and hushed voices. Revak held up his hand, motioning for Lydia to stop, and listened to the soft voices coming from the wizards working quarters.
"You see? The terminology clearly is First Era, or even earlier. I'm convinced this is a copy of a much older text. Perhaps dating to just after the Dragon War," the wizards voice said excitedly. "If so, I could use this to cross reference the names with much later texts."
"Good," said another voice, a woman's. "I'm glad you're making progress. My employers are anxious to have some tangible answers."
Revak wondered.
"Oh have no fear." Revak could almost imagine Farengar shaking in excitement. "The Jarl himself has finally taken interest. So I'm now able to devote most of my time to this research."
"Time is running Farengar, don't forget," the woman's voice said sternly. "This isn't some theoretical question. Dragons have come back."
"Yes, yes, don't worry," Farengar said more calmly. "Although the chance to see a living dragon up close would be tremendously valuable..." Farengar trailed off then seemed to have caught himself. "Now, let me show you something else I have-"
"We have a visitor," the woman said quickly, stopping Farengar mid sentence.
Blast, how did she know we were here?
Sighing Revak walked in, a faux smile on his face.
"Hmm?" Farengar mumbled, then he saw Revak. He stared for a moment before recognizing him. "Ah yes! The Jarl's new protegé? Back from Bleak Falls Barrow? You didn't die, it seems," he said smiling.
Revak returned the smile. "No, it seems I didn't." Revak held the stone out. "I believe you wanted this?" Revak laid the stone gently on the table in front of Farengar.
Farengar smiled widely when he saw the stone. "Ah! The Dragonstone of Bleak Falls Barrow! Seems you are a cut above the usual brutes the Jarl sends my way." Revak made note not to take that personally.
"My... associate here will be pleased to see your handiwork. She discovered it's location, by means she has so far declined to share with me." Farengar gave a slight glare to the woman. Revak was very curious as to who she and her 'employers' were.
Revak wasn't going to wait for her to introduce herself. "I'm sorry," he said politely, "I believe we haven't met?"
She didn't look up from the stone. "No, I don't believe we have."
Farengar cleared his throat, and turned to the woman. "So your information was correct after all. And we have our friend here to thank for recovering it." He nodded to Revak.
She looked at Revak, and raised her brows, seemingly noticing him for the first time. "You went into Bleak Falls Barrow? And got that? Nice work."
Revak smiled. "Thanks, and Lydia here is to thank as well."
The woman smiled. "You too, Lydia." Lydia bowed slightly, staying silent.
The woman returned to Farengar. "Just send me copies and-"
She was interrupted by Irileth who was literally sprinting into the room. "Farengar!" All of them were silent. "Farengar," she said breathing heavily, as a small group of guards followed her in.
"What's going on, Irileth?" Lydia asked, her face concerned.
"Farengar, you need to come at once. A dragon's been sighted nearby!" she said quickly.
All of them stood there, shocked. "What?" Revak said, almost not believing that Alduin would attack so soon after Helgen.
"A dragon! How exciting! Where was it seen? What was it doing?" Farengar said excitedly, nearly jumping up and down where he stood.
Irileth must have picked up on this. "I'd take this a bit more seriously if I were you," she said, shaking her head. "If a dragon decides to attack Whiterun I don't know if we can stop it."
Revak took a few steps forward. "There has to be a way," he said with a hint of a growl. "Everything dies."
"Then you'd better come with us."
Revak smiled. "Wouldn't have it any other way."

This humorous lecture deals with the problems and anxieties that Americans in the late eighteenth century faced regarding the findings of the Comte de Buffon, Europe's leading naturalist. Buffon was the most influential scientist of his day and his discoveries that species were not the same the world over, that the planet was much older than the Biblical account suggested, and that plant and animal species were biologically related in complex ways would influence scientists for more than a century. But it was his theory that the climate of the New World was deleterious to all living creatures that created the greatest sensation in the United States. Many American intellectuals, including Thomas Jefferson, took these findings very seriously.
Gordon S. Wood is the Alva O. Way University Professor and professor of history at Brown University. His 1969 book, The Creation of the American Republic, 1776-1787, received the Bancroft and John H. Dunning prizes and was nominated for the National Book Award. His 1992 book, The Radicalism of the American Revolution, won the Pulitzer Prize and the Emerson Prize. Wood's latest book, Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different will be published in May 2006, by the Penguin Press.
This program is open to the public and free of charge; however, first preference will be given to teachers and administrators in the
Worcester, Millbury, and Sutton, Massachusetts, school systems.
Everyone interested in attending this program should register in advance by contacting Cheryl McRell at 508-471-2149 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

City officials have insisted that testing of Edinburgh's £776 million tram system will not be further delayed by the appearance of cracks in concrete supporting a section of the line.
The apparent defects were discovered in an elevated section of the track near the Edinburgh Park tram stop, soon after the first testing of the line had taken place.
Professor Lewis Lesley, technical director of Trampower, a light rail company, suggested that expansion joints had not been added to the concrete.
"What will happen is the reinforcement wires will rust and then the concrete will break apart," said Professor Lesley.
