Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Hinata Hyuuga
Sakura Haruno
I wonder which of these two girls will win Narutos heart because I believe that Hinata will win Narutos heart making Naruto fall in love with Hinata.
Hinata all the way !!
Hinata my love will be the one
Hinata Hyuuga will win because Hinata can get Naruto to fall in love with her by cooking ramen and ramen balls which happens to be Narutos favourite food.
hinata of course...how could sakura do that?by punching naruto?I don't think so!!! Hinata all the way!..the sweetest girl in naruto universe(kurenai too):D
neither it will be.....
jk: Hinata
I gotta go with Hinata here because I believe that a skilled user of the gentle fist (open fist, whatever it's called) is a better matchup to a straight up taijutsu user. Hell, she almost hit Yahiko right or did? I don't remember
Now Sakura has two potential abilities that we don't know of.
First, we haven't seen her medical ninjutsu for whatever reason, which I'm sure Tsunade taught some of.
Second, she is a genjutsu type, or was according to Kakashi. If she ever learned some genjutsu she might have a leg up on Hinata.
As it stands now, Hinata.
Forsure Hinata
I hope its hinata. Although im not sure if naruto will really end up with someone.

true.. -.-
no matter how much we might want them to hook up...
they might just end up single like in other anime.. T.T
But even so... Hinata and Naruto do make a good couple ^_^
Hinata, because i bet she can cook better then Sakura. And she doesn't hit Naruto...
Hinita all the way. She can cook, she was never a sasuke fan girl, and has belived in naruto before he had proven him self to be an out standing ninja. Sakura will end up with sai.
its hard to choose because even though sakura hits naruto somtimes he did have a crush on her in the being of the series....but on the other hand hinata just got finished saying that she loves naruto then pain stabbed her in the manga series and if you've seen it you know naruto went nuts so i dont know the only thing i can say is time will tell.
HINATA ! :p
Lol it's not like hundreds of these threads have been made already
Kishi didn't understand what he would bring upon Naruto communities worldwide by having Hinata confess.
Neither I have a feeling Naruto's going to die in the end. And if he survives I think Sakura just becuase he dosen't really talk to Hinata....ever. Just becuase someone loves a person dosen't mean they return the feeling.

I do not want NaruHina to happen
In a fight - Hinata
Who will end up with Naruto - Sakura
Naruto Should end up with Hinata.......... And it's shown that SAkura loves Sasuke so It should be that way but now with such situations, Sakura Might be going towards NAruto.
But in a fight, it's Sure sakura would win Hinata although she has byakugan.Sakura has been specialy trained by tsunade, one of the three sanin.....She is better medical ninja and she has a lot of power that's why......

Come back, little diva
Speaking of stars, August 13 heralds the return of an annual wonder—the Perseid Meteor Shower (earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide) and I'm planning to begin my celebration by toasting the debut of "Peace" vodka at the Catskill Distilling Company that same night. Monte Sachs has created the taste sensation, using locally harvested grains, and it's time for the fruits of his labors to debut.
Honoring the "Spirits of Woodstock," Sachs is looking forward to "Love" and "Happiness" bottles joining "Peace" on the shelves in the near future.
I might not know where I'm going, but "I know where I've been" reverberates in my head as I peruse the play-list of snappy songs from Mark Shaiman's glowing score of "Hairspray" (the musical) currently running at the Rivoli Theatre in South Fallsburg, NY, presented by The Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop (www.scdw.net).
Acting guru Konstantin Stanislavisky's declaration that "There are no small parts, only small actors" sprang to mind as I read the program, noting that several of the standouts (for me) were not lead players. Heather Stevens, Sal Polichetti, Carol Scannell MacAdam and Jennifer Colletti hit all the right notes, alongside powerhouse Rebecca DaCosta and local (bring down the house) diva Joseph Jervais as matriarch Edna Turnblad.
Allen and Scott Eckers, along with Ellen Pavloff, all work hard at making it work and from what I understand, the show has received some glowing notices. Clearly, dedication and effort has gone into this production—and if I've left some names out, it is strictly intentional. I've been called out before for airing my views, so am leaving it to you, the audience, to form your own opinions. My final remark on the subject? Sometimes being a "small actor" just isn't enough. If you want my uncensored review, feel free to ask. Will I be asked to come back? Only time will tell.

Hello -
I was hoping someone here knows about this. I breastfed my son for 18 months. We had an easy, gradual "letting go" period as he needed to nurse less and less. I never became engorged as the whole quitting process was quite slow and taken at our own pace.
Now, 6 months later, I find that I'm STILL producing some milk. In certain situations, I find that I'll leak a little. I'm not engorged, but occasionally I wake up with a "heavy" type feeling. And, I sometimes get HUNGRY like I did when I was nursing. Does anyone know how long this will last?
Thank you!

January 8, 2004
(SPRINGFIELD) Advocating on behalf of cash strapped districts
statewide, the Illinois State Board of Education Thursday
approved the Fiscal Year 2005 elementary and secondary
education budget recommendation.
"We can move our educational system ahead or we
can continue to fall behind," State Superintendent
Robert Schiller said. "The State Board and I recognize
Illinois' financial situation but made the conscious decision
to ask the state to move education forward. The needs
outlined in this budget and articulated in our 2003
Condition of Education report are real and represent
the priorities and needs of the hundreds of district superintendents,
principals, teachers and students who voiced their input
on this budget."
The FY05 proposal includes a $609 million General Funds
increase over the FY04 elementary and secondary education
appropriation. The FY05 recommendation includes:
The proposal includes $576.6 million alone to support
adequate basic education and full funding of programs
that the state requires districts provide.
In FY04 the State Board recommended and the Governor
agreed to begin to phase in the Education Funding Advisory
Board proposal over a four- or five-year period. The State
Board therefore recommends, for the second year in a row,
an FY05 increase of $250.00 to the foundation level.
"Our schools are struggling to make ends meet with
the current level of resources available to them, and
we recognize that," said Board Chair Janet Steiner.
"Transporting the student to the classroom, staffing
the classrooms, assisting the students who have special
needs, integrating general education and special education
students together, supporting our teachers, and communicating
to parents are all very real costs."
Moody's Investor Service recently indicated that the
Illinois school district sector remains challenged with
widespread structural imbalances, declining liquidity
and expenditure growth that is outpacing revenue growth.
The Education Trust recently found Illinois to have the
highest funding gap between the highest and lowest poverty
districts and on Wednesday, Illinois was the only state
rated "F" for funding equity by Education
The 2003 Condition of Education report documents
these trends - costs rising faster than revenues, an increasing
number of districts in deficits and remaining there for
longer periods of time, more and more reductions to extra-curricular
activities as well as basic classroom costs, and the inability
of schools to provide the services necessary to have all
students achieve standards.
The FY05 budget recommendation will begin to help schools
address these basic finance and equity issues.
Schiller added that more than 99.99% of the $7.6 billion
FY04 education appropriation goes directly to the state's
891 locally controlled school districts. After continued
reduction of personnel and operations, this proposal includes
no increased administrative costs at the Illinois State
Board of Education, he said.
The Illinois State Board of Education is required by
law to present the Governor and the General Assembly a
recommended budget proposal for Illinois public elementary
and secondary education system by January 14th.

Six years ago I purchased a full set of wet okale seat covers for my new Prius. They are still in excellent shape and very comfortable. When I purchased a Hyundai Accent hatchback this year, I decided to buy another set of wet okale covers again. This time I only bought the fronts because I rarely have someone in my back seats. I highly recommend them.

Ohio HB 70 – 2011 Update: Help Pass Nitro's Law and Make Animal Cruelty a Felony
This is serious.
This Bill desperately needs to pass in 2011. I have no idea why it didn't, and I'm astonished that it didn't, that it fizzled in the Senate in 2010 after passing in the House.
Nitro's owner is an internet friend of mine, and I will do anything in my power to assist in the passage of this Bill.
In October 2008, law enforcement authorities found dead and starving dogs locked inside filthy kennels at Steve Croley's High Caliber K-9 "training facility" in Youngstown. Seven dogs had died from starvation, and 12 others were discovered alive but severely emaciated and neglected. And this guy ran a "training facility" right?
And unfortunately, it's not just Steve Croley. It's everywhere. It's the guy who dumped three starving puppies into a trash bin behind a 7-11 in Brecksville. It's the woman who says she runs a rescue in southern Ohio yet has been arrested TWO times for animal cruelty and still remains a rescue owner. It's the Ohio dairy farm worker who beat his cows and got off the hook.
It's the assholes like this who oppose it and send gobs of money to officials to vote against it.
The current Ohio felony anti-cruelty law is applicable only on second and subsequent offenses.
With no felony provision available to them, prosecutors charged Croley with misdemeanor animal cruelty. Croley pleaded no contest, and in January 2009 he was sentenced to four months in jail with credit for 13 days served. He got out early and went back to his training facility.
This guy is walking around freely after he killed seven people's beloved precious dogs. How is that right? How is that justice? What in THE HELL is wrong with the government officials, no names being named here, who let this go? Or those who voted against it? For Christ's sake it's the third go-round for HB 70 in the House. Someone please tell me what their argument or logic was because I've been trying to understand and constructing plausible anti-positions in my head and I just can't think of any that are applicable or appropriate.
The Croley case illustrates the complete inadequacy of Ohio law in terms of animal welfare as well as the government's inability to get anything done these days.
Ohio is only 1 of 5 states where animal abuse and cruelty is not yet a felony. In 45 states animal abuse is considered a serious felony crime.
We cannot allow this bill to die in committee or House or Senate again. We cannot allow animal abuse to continue and with little to no punishment to those who commit such horrific crimes to our companion animals and the people who love them.
Ohio continues to rank at the bottom on animal protection legislation and this is unacceptable.
Therefore, I'm requesting, with your help, that HB 70 Nitro's Law passes. Pass House Bill 70 to bring Ohio into the 21st century on animal welfare legislation.
Only through legislation that allows for prosecution of animal cruelty with stronger penalties imposed on those found guilty, will Ohio be a just and compassionate State

Sitting under a tent away from the hot sun, talking, smiling and enjoying a plate of rice and chicken is a group of teachers from Fey Esperanza Child Development Center before the beginning of another afternoon with the children.
The teachers are having a good time with each other, but after they finish their lunch, each of them go to their classrooms with excitement to prepare for the afternoon classes.
Seventeen people work at the development center. Most of them have been serving the children since the center started two years ago, and more are being added as more poor children are registered.
Each of these workers were carefully and prayerfully chosen by the pastor. Before selecting staff, he wrote a list of names to present to the church committee, which considered each one. The committee considers each person's vision and commitment to working with poor children.
Each worker must have at least one year of high school and a good relationship with God because it is in their hands that the life of the children will rest while working at the development center.
These workers are ideally church members, but if the partner church is too small, then applicants from neighboring churches or from the same denomination can work at the student center. Each person is interviewed by the pastor and committee about their willingness to work at the center.
Child development workers are volunteers who receive an "offering" every month, not a salary. They have limited job opportunities and are at the center because they love God and love to work with poor children.
Reyna has been an active member of the Hermon Baptist Church for 13 years. Since the center started in November 2006, she has worked as a teacher and coordinator of the cognitive area. Reyna shares,
"I love the work of the Lord and when the pastor spoke to me about it, I accepted because I love children and because of the spiritual and emotional need they have.
"At the development center, children have a new opportunity for their life. They can be instructed in the Bible and they gain new friends."
Ana is one of the youngest teachers. A smile bloomed as she shared about the reason why she is at the student center.
"It is a privilege to work here. Since I was little I wished to be a Sunday school teacher, but the Lord allowed me to begin working at the student center. Now, I also have a group in Sunday school."
Ana has been a member of the church for three years and has worked for the student center for a year and a half. "Ana continues to grow spiritually, academically and she also has an excellent relationship with everybody at the development center," says Pastor Pedro.
One of the difficulties, says the pastor, is the lack of teaching experience of workers at the student center.
"Some of the student center members are empirical, meaning that some of them did not finish their elementary or high school studies or do not have experience related to teaching but they have acquired experience through the practice. When implementing new things, training has been necessary, and that's how we work."
By now, most of the personnel have a high school level. In Nicaragua, out of 100 children who enter elementary school, only 29 of them finish. Only 11 complete high school. Six go to university and only two graduate.
In 2006, 830,000 children did not go to school (Special Ministry for Children and Adolescent, 2007) Even when education is free, the high unemployment rate affects parents and they don't send their children to school.
Reyna shares that working with poor children is a high calling, "There was fear at the beginning because in our hands there is not just anything, but the life of the children."
The pastor says of Reyna, "With her experience as a regular teacher, she has given a lot of new ideas for the work at the student center and has facilitated the teamwork."
For Ana it was not easy to fill out the children's file or to help them write letters. However, "I got help from the teachers. Some people believe this job is easy but it is not. However with God's help, it can be done!" she says.
The Compassion Nicaragua office has a list of requirements for when the children write to the sponsors, so learning how to include all of those requirements takes the teachers some time.
The requirements include things such as making sure the letters answer the sponsors' questions, making sure the letter has the date and sponsors' name on it, and making sure the children have thanked their sponsors for any gifts received.
Getting home safely, and health and finances are some other struggles the workers face. "It is obvious these people have a commitment with God, with the church, with the development center. They are motivated, they are doing something all the time," says Pastor Pedro.
"As a development center, we stay motivated by the harmony among the group. We also clear up doubts with confidence as soon as they arise, talk about differences. If something provokes incompatibility, we explain to them the reasons why those actions are being taken, that is all for the good of the work as a whole.
"We try to talk and encourage them all the time. Personal and group devotions, spiritual retreats are also done to keep the workers motivated. Once a year a special dinner and a small gift is presented to each development center member to let them know they have done well throughout the year."
Reyna elaborates,
"We don't waste time here. We get encouraged when we see the change in the children's life and their families. Many parents have come to know the Lord and are now serving and attending church regularly.
"I thank so much the support and love God has put in the heart of people for the children in our country. Be sure we do our best. The children are being educated and reached for God. Keep on supporting the children of Nicaragua and all over the world."
Ana agrees,
"I am thankful with God for this privilege of working with children. I want to thank also those who make possible this support for the children of the community."
Pastor Pedro concludes,
"To the people that make this possible, we ask them to be patient. Not long ago we had the visit of a 45-year-old man from Bolivia, with a beautiful family and a successful ministry. This man was assisted by Compassion when he was a child, and when I heard him talking, I pictured our children in him, with a great preparation and success in life.
"We thank God and this ministry for considering Nicaragua for the work with children. We are very thankful for their disposition to give their time, finances, prayer and for giving all they can. Thank you."

Familial Mediterranean Fever
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Familial Mediterranean Fever is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent episodes (attacks) of fever and acute inflammation of the membranes lining the abdomen, joints, and lungs. In some cases, affected individuals may develop skin rashes (erysipelas like erythema) affecting the lower legs. Less often, inflammation of the membrane lining the heart or covering the brain and spinal cord may occur. Some individuals may develop a serious condition known as amyloidosis, in which certain proteins called amyloid accumulates in various tissues of the body. In FMF, amyloid accumulates in the kidneys (renal amyloidosis) where it can impair kidney function potentially result in life-threatening complications such as kidney failure. The specific symptoms and severity of FMF are highly variable. Some individuals develop amyloidosis, but none of the other symptoms associated with FMF. These cases are sometimes referred to as FMF type 2. FMF is caused by mutations of the pyrin (MEFV) gene and is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
FMF is classified as an autoinflammatory syndrome. Autoinflammatory syndromes are a group of disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation due to an abnormality of the innate immune system. They are not the same as autoimmune syndromes, in which the adaptive immune system malfunctions and mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. FMF is the most common autoinflammatory syndrome. It is also classified as a hereditary periodic fever syndrome.

ACLU wants curbs on high-tech surveillanceToby Talbot / AP Photo
A drone is flown over the Statehouse in Montpelier in a demonstration by the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU will ask the Legislature to regulate surveillance of private citizens by law enforcement.
MONTPELIER The proliferation of technology that makes it easier to track the lives of ordinary residents prompted the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday to call on the Legislature to ensure state and local law enforcement agencies dont misuse information that may be available.
To prove how easy it is becoming for law enforcement to monitor the lives of law-abiding residents, the ACLU demonstrated a small, remotecontrol drone that collected video while flying in the skies above the Statehouse in Montpelier.
If you carry a cellphone, you are being tracked. If youre driving a car, (automatic license plate readers) are picking up where youre going, said Allen Gilbert, executive director of the ACLUs Vermont chapter. Youve seen what a drone can do. Were going to see hundreds of these things flying overhead in a couple of years.
In addition to drones and the electronic bread-crumb trail left by most people today, Gilbert said Vermonters are more prone to be watched by the government than people in other parts of the country because of the states proximity to Canada. Within 100 miles of the border, Department of Homeland Security agencies have broad powers to stop motorists.
Gilbert said his organization would ask the Legislature to pass a bill that would regulate the use of aerial drones. The group wants the state to pass a law or establish rules governing police access to digital face prints, created by facial recognition software used by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The agencys website says its facial recognition software is designed to protect against identity fraud and to prevent people from getting drivers licenses in multiple states. It says law enforcement agencies may submit images of suspects in crimes for analysis by DMV investigators.
The ACLU wants Vermont to pass a law that would prohibit employers from requiring that workers provide access to social media accounts as a job requirement.
It also is calling for passage of a Vermont electronic privacy act, which would require law enforcement agencies to get warrants before obtaining email, phone and Internet records, location tracking data and digital face prints.
Its when you get into the areas of invasion of privacy, harassment, even stalking where things are going to get very interesting, Gilbert said. None of this is going to be easy.
Sen. Dick Sears, D-Bennington, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday he was aware of the ACLUs push. He didnt respond to its specific requests.
I think you have to look at the technology and how its going to be used in a manner thats fair to everybody, he said. The challenge for the Legislature is to have the technology available to prevent crime and deal with criminal activity and at the same time prevent abuses of the system.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

What a nice transition from the school board meetings' agenda, not to mention fiascos, to the Commissioners Court, the county attorney's office, and the Justice of the Peace?
Are you kidding me?
Peace officers are to uphold the peace, are they not?
Looks like our elected (officials),(loose term), have a new playground to argue and fight over crayons.
This county is growing, and the transients are probably sending the local paper "home" to friends and family to share the joke that is our local government.
My theoretical solution is to take Shaw, Busselman, Hummel, and the rest of the UFC, the "C" being the Commissioners Court out to the Hummel's Ranch Fighting Ring, and let em at it, and just maybe we'll be done with it.
Otherwise, grow up and act your age people, or I'm gonna tell mama. At least this fiasco with local offices isn't the joke that is our supreme commander's "football shaped" office.
Talk about campaign platforms and eggshells!

Once completed, the airport will have an additional 1,200 feet of runway length and be 15 feet wider to accommodate larger jets such as a Cessna Citation XL with its 56-foot wingspan. These models are often used by those associated with the Eagle Ford Shale as well as local businesses such as Love's Travel Stops.
The airport is currently 3,800 feet long and 60 feet wide, making the final size 5,000 feet long and 75 feet wide.
"They've got good size planes," L.T. Davis, president of the Live Oak County Airport Board of Directors, said.
The airport needs to raise $500,000 locally to apply for a $5 million grant with the TxDOT Aviation Division's Aviation Capital Improvement Plan in order to fund the expansion project.
But, it isn't just a matter of raising the funding, the airport needed to obtain 501c3 nonprofit status; a process which took over 18 months.
"It was a tremendous amount of paperwork," Davis said.
According to Davis, their application for nonprofit status was approved in January but they found out about two weeks ago.
Now that their 501c3 status is in place, the group has recently started gathering donations to meet the 10 percent needed in order to apply for the grant and begin construction. Davis said it will take about five years to complete the project once the funds are raised and the grant is awarded.
Davis said the project is being done in conjunction with McMullen County to meet the growing demand for local business flights.
"There are a lot of planes flying in and out, and if they have access they do a lot more business if they can get here by plane rather than driving two or three hours," Davis said. "They just won't come if not by plane."

Editor's note: Bob Huber's column, which is usually published on Mondays, is running early this week because of the topic:
When I was a kid, the joy of Halloween ranked second only to Christmas. It was that wonderful night of the year when we could be ghosts, goblins, and other evil things, and at the same time extort candy and tear down our neighbors' mail boxes.
Of course, in those days costumes weren't fancy. Wal-Mart hadn't been invented yet. Our disguises were made of gunny sacks or frayed bed sheets and were worthy of awards only when neighbors couldn't pick us out of a lineup.
Back then, modern Halloween dangers didn't exist. Oh sure, there were a few perils, like bullies who mugged us and stole our candy, and college guys who dumped ice water on us from their rooming house windows. But those were petty annoyances.
The bullies were local hoods of Neanderthal ancestry who roamed my hometown on Halloween, shouting, "Hey, kid, lemme see your costume." When we innocently approached, they reached out like grisly Hollywood monsters and stole our loot.
College guys, meanwhile, played their annual game of "Drown the Little Buggers." They received varsity sports awards for that activity in those days.
One time when the situation got extreme, I asked my cousin Herman to join us and be our shield against evil doers. Herman was several years older and weighed 300 pounds.
He eagerly agreed, because he liked to thump evil doers. He dressed as an icebox.
So when he was drenched with water at a college rooming house, he stood still a moment, a bemused look on his face, and stared down at his squishy, size 17 tennis shoes. Then he let out a mournful groan and rumbled inside the rooming house to pose questions about this phenomenon.
When he found the answers lacking, he fostered his own little Halloween game — "Bust the Heads of College Wise Guys."
But Herman eventually grew too large even for his icebox costume, and he lost interest in simple pleasures like thumping tormenters. My friend Smooth Heine and I had to overcome Halloween hazards on our own.
All this took place as I reached my mid-youth crisis, an inspired moment when I told Smooth, "I'm staying home this year. It's no fun without Herman whacking guys."
"But this may be our last crack at evil fun," Smooth said. "Next year we'll be too busy fantasizing female body parts in junior high school. Besides, I have a plan."
I knew Smooth spoke the truth about junior high, but I also knew that his best laid plans often sucked weenies. Still, I went along, because old age was creeping upon me, and I wanted to garner a final bag of candy and tear down at least one more mail box.
So on Halloween night when we ran into a gang of older thugs and they asked, "Hey, what you got in the bags?" I tried to run. But Smooth yanked me back by my gunny sack and held out his loot dramatically.
He told the thugs, "Here, take my goodies, but please, don't force me to reveal where we got the candy bars. It's a secret."
"Candy bars?" said the chief hood, a buffalo shaped guy named Gunter Hogmore.
He wasn't as big as Herman, but he could have fooled me.
Smooth held out a crumpled Baby Ruth candy wrapper and said, "Yeah, a college guy down on 12th Street said he felt bad about throwing water on us last year, and he's atoning for his sins with candy bars."
I rolled my eyes and sighed. Everyone knew that the rottenest college guys lived on 12th Street. One of them, a football giant, even liked to stomp kids if they complained.
But I underestimated the greed in Hogmore's heart. He paused only a moment, then turned and ran toward 12th Street. The last we saw of him and his gang was a blur of fists and elbows as they struggled with each other to reach 12th Street first.
The next day we ditched school to avoid Hogmore. We hid in the Heine barn, giggling and surviving on our Halloween loot. Later we heard that Hogmore, wearing soggy shoes, had sought us for discussion purposes, but he spent the day aimlessly bumping into walls because his eyes were swollen shut.
You guessed it — that college guy who liked to stomp complainers turned out to be my cousin Herman, now a football player for the local school. He prompted Smooth to say, "What goes around as an icebox, sometimes comes around as a refrigerated truck."

- Multicomponent strongly attractive Fermi gas: a color superconductor in a one-dimensional harmonic trap

- Liu, Xia-Ji; Hu, Hui; Drummond, P. D.
- Abstract
- Recent advances in ultracold atomic Fermi gases make it possible to achieve a fermionic superfluid with multiple spin components. In this context, any mean-field description is expected to fail, owing to the presence of tightly bound clusters or molecules that consist of more than two particles. Here we present a detailed study of a strongly interacting multicomponent Fermi gas in a highly elongated or quasi-one-dimensional harmonic trap, which could be readily obtained in experiment. By using the exact Bethe ansatz solution and a local density approximation treatment of the harmonic trap, we investigate the equation of state of the multicomponent Fermi gas in both a homogeneous and trapped environment, as well as the density profiles and low-energy collective modes. The binding energy of multicomponent bound clusters is also given. We show that there is a peak in the collective mode frequency at the critical density for a deconfining transition to a many-body state that is analogous to the quark color superconductor state expected in neutron stars.

How Saving Money on Generic Drugs Can Cost You Your Health
By S.Z. Berg
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--Many people opt for generic drugs over brand-name drugs to save money. In some cases, a brand name drug may not even be on the market, anymore. Either way, these consumers may not be aware that they could be buying trouble down the road.
Many possible risks aren't seen until a drug has been on the market for years. Reglan, for example, a drug used to treat gastrointestinal problems, was first approved in 1979. More than 30 years later, in 2009, it received a black-box warning from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after it was discovered that it could cause tardive dyskinesia, a serious irreversible and disfiguring movement disorder. By that time, more than 2 million people were taking products that contained the drug.
A recent report by the non-profit consumer rights advocacy group Public Citizen shows that at least 53 drugs that were approved by the FDA more than a decade ago have, in the past five years, required new black-box warnings, which alert patients to serious or life-threatening risks. Eleven of those drugs are currently only available as generics.
"Unlike brand-name drug manufacturers, generic drug manufacturers are not able to promptly make changes to the drug label when they become aware of important new safety information, such as new adverse event information," says Michael A. Carome, M.D., director of the Health Research Group at Public Citizen.
Generic drugs made up 80% of all prescriptions filled in 2011, according to the Generic Pharmaceutical Association.
Generic drug labels are required by law to match the label warnings of their brand-name counterparts.
A recent Public Citizen report lists 434 generic drugs without brand-name counterparts still on the market.
Public Citizen says that patients who are harmed by a generic drug that had inadequate labeling cannot sue generic drug manufacturers for injuries as they can with brand name drugs as a result of PLIVA, Inc. v. Mensing, which was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011. Generic drug manufacturers got further immunity from lawsuits in late June. In a closely watched case, Mutual Pharmaceutical Company v. Bartlett, the U.S. Supreme Court shielded generic drug manufacturers against liability from the design of a drug. The two rulings largely shut the door for consumers to sue generic drug manufacturers for injuries.

Hey, Umps…We Can Beat Ourselves, We Don't Need Your Help
Well, I'm in LA and was camping on the beach this weekend instead of watching this miserable Astros series. The boys formerly in rainbows just manage to be the bane of our existence every year. I still think we'll pull off the division win, but we're sure doing our best to make it tense. And how far can we expect to go in the playoffs with this pitching? Izzy haters, don't you want him back just a little bit after watching this bullpen blow these games?
I did watch tonight's game and I was incensed by the blown call. Biggio clearly darted outside the baseline to avoid Belliard's tag. A double play would have ended the innning but with the blown call, the inning was extended long enough for Huff to hit the 3-run-homer. I really wish baseball would start using instant replay.
The good news is the Astros now have to go on the road and play the hot Phillies, so hopefully we can get back on track and close this division out.
1 Comment
Yes, while that was a terribly lousy call, I must say that Biggio should never have been on base to begin with. Come on Cards!!! Let's start playing like we want to win this!

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is increasingly popular because it simplifies what has been complex, namely, accessing directory services. In this article you will learn what you can do with LDAP and how Java handles LDAP with its Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API. At the end of the article, you will find a project that provides a white pages service built with LDAP and JNDI.
Before you start the project, you should first familiarize yourself the jargon of naming and directory services.
A naming service lets you find an object in a system based on the name associated with the object. Naming services are easy to find. Take the filesystem in your computer, for instance. Every file in a computer has a name; to access a file you must know its name. In filesystems, files are objects associated with filenames. Another example is the Internet's DNS, which maps easy-to-remember names (such as onjava.com and jUpload.com) to IP addresses. When you work with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), you use a naming service to get a reference to a Bean. In short, a naming service allows you to look up an object by its name.
Each naming service has its own rules for making valid names. For example, the rules for valid filenames Linux are different from the rules in Windows.
The association of a name with an object is called a binding. In a filesystem, a filename is bound to a file. In a DNS server, domain names are bound to IP addresses.
Objects in some naming services cannot be stored directly inside the naming service. Instead, the name service stores pointers or references to objects. A reference contains an address, that is, specific information on how to access the object itself.
In a naming service, obviously you have more than one
name-to-object binding. The set of bindings is called a context. There
are two types of contexts: root and subcontext. A root context is the
base name of an object. In a filesystem, the root context is the base
from which all other directories and files are stored. In the Unix
file system, the root context is
/. Under Windows it is
A subcontext is a name that adds another level to the root
context. For example, a directory, such as
usr under
/ in a Unix filesystem, is a subcontext. In the Unix
system, this subcontext is called a subdirectory. That is, in a
/usr, the directory
usr is a
subcontext of
/. In another example, a DNS domain, like
COM or NET, is a context. A DNS domain named relative to another DNS
domain is a subcontext. For example, in the DNS domain
brainysoftware.com, the DNS domain brainysoftware is a subcontext of
A directory service is an extension of a naming service. In a directory service, an object is also associated with a name. However, each object is allowed to have attributes. You can look up an object by its name; but you can also obtain the object's attributes or search for the object based on its attributes.
Going back to the Unix file system, it's not just a naming service but also a directory service. Each file can have attributes like owner and date. In real world applications, a directory object in a directory server can be used to represent anything: a printer, a computer, a network, or even a person in an organization.
An attribute of a directory object is a property of the object. For example, a person can have the following attributes: last name, first name, user name, email address, telephone number, and so on. A printer can have attributes like resolution, color, and speed.
An attribute has an identifier which is a unique name in that
object. Each attribute can have one or more values. For instance, a
person object can have an attribute called
LastName is the identifier of an attribute. An attribute
value is the content of the attribute. For example, the
LastName attribute can have a value like "Martin".
You can look up a directory object by supplying its name to a directory service. Alternatively, many directory services support searches for objects based on properties, not just names. You can supply a query consisting of a logical expression in which you specify the attributes that the object or objects must have. The query is called a search filter. This style of searching is sometimes called reverse lookup or content-based searching. The directory service searches for and returns the objects that satisfy the search filter.
Directory services are very common these days. There already exist a plethora of directory service implementations:
Accessing a directory service and manipulating its objects used to be complex and difficult. The traditional protocol is X.500, a set of directory recommendations specified by the International Telecommunication Union. X.500 was enormous and complex.
LDAP is a direct descendant of X.500. LDAP was designed at the University of Michigan to simplify access to X.500 directories (hence the "L" for "lightweight" in "LDAP"). LDAP was designed to be powerful enough to solve basic problems in accessing a directory service but simple and light enough so more people can afford to use it.
LDAP, currently at version 3, is now a standard for directory information access. Many companies, including Microsoft, IBM, Novell, Computer Associates, and Sun, have agreed to support it. LDAP is now being used as an important part of a variety of services: authentication systems, mail systems, and e-commerce applications. To date more than 60 LDAP server implementations have been released; approximately 90% of which are standalone LDAP directory servers, 10% of which are components of other applications.
You probably already have an LDAP-aware client installed on your computer. Many email clients can access an LDAP directory for email addresses, including Outlook, Eudora, Netscape Communicator, QuickMail Pro, and Mulberry.
The LDAP naming convention orders components from right to left, delimited by a comma. LDAP arranges all directory objects in a tree, called a directory information tree (DIT). Within the DIT, an organization object, for example, might contain group objects that might in turn contain person objects. When directory objects are arranged in this way, they play the role of naming contexts in addition to being attribute containers.
In addition to client connections and disconnections, an LDAP server must provide the following:
Note that the term binding in LDAP is different from its generic directory services meaning. Binding here refers to the authentication that a user is required to perform before accessing an entry in the directory.
There are several public LDAP servers you can use over the Internet; the popular of these is probably BigFoot's (ldap://ldap.bigfoot.com); others include ldap://ldap.four11.com and ldap://ldap.InfoSpace.com.
A number of universities in the US also provides LDAP service to search for students or staff members. For a list of university public LDAP services, see eMailman's Public LDAP Servers.
Your organization may already run a directory service, especially if its very large. If not, you probably need to do some research before deciding on one.
The most popular LDAP server today is iPlanet's Directory Server. Others include Novell's NDS eDirectory, Critical Path's Global Directory Server, Computer Associates' eTrust Directory, Siemens' DirX, and Oracle's Oracle Internet Directory. Deciding the one which is best for your situation is often tricky.
NetworkWorld Fusion published a good article last year which compares the performance of many LDAP servers. If it's to be believed, iPlanet is the best performer and also the fastest; it concludes that iPlanet's Directory Server is the best choice for commercial use.
If you only need an LDAP server for testing, you probably want to use something else. Downloads for the latest version of iPlanet's Directory Server (version 5.0 beta) range from 53 MB to 78 MB, depending on your operating system. For the project in this article, I chose the much slimmer LDAP server from OpenLDAP. Even though not the fastest, theis free product is only a 1.52 MB download. OpenLDAP's products are only available for Linux; but once you have seeded it with entries, you can use this article's project code to access any LDAP server on any operating system.
You can download OpenLDAP from the project's site. The LDAP server is called slapd (a stand-alone LDAP server). The latest version of slapd is 2.0.7. Other programs downloadable from the Web site are the replication server, some libraries, and a variety of tools.
To install slapd, you first need to download
openldap-2_0_7.tgz into the
directory of a Linux system. You can use another directory but you'll
need to do some adjustment to the following instructions.
Installation takes the following steps:
Extract the files --
gunzip -c openldap-2_0_7.tgz | tar xvfB -
-- into a subdirectory,
openldap-2.0.7. If you are
using a different version, this subdirectory is called
Assuming that your current working directory is
/usr/local, run
cd openldap-2.0.7
Next, run
Then the following commands:
make depend
make test
If everything goes smoothly, you are now ready to install, for which you'll need root access. Run
su root -c 'make install'
If installation is as expected, you are now ready to configure
slapd. The configuration file is called
slapd.conf and
can be found at the
directory. Open this file with your favorite text editor.
You should see the following lines.
database ldbm
suffix "dc=<MY-DOMAIN>,dc=<COM>"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=<MY-DOMAIN>,dc=<COM>"
rootpw secret
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm
You need to edit the <MY-DOMAIN> and the <COM> parts to reflect your domain name. Using the correct names ensures that your LDAP server can be accessed from the Internet.
For example, for the brainysoftware.com domain, the configuration lines will look like
database ldbm
suffix "dc=brainysoftware,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=brainysoftware,dc=com"
rootpw secret
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm
If your domain contains additional components -- like
sandal.jepit.edu.au -- do something like
database ldbm
suffix "dc=sandal,dc=jepit,dc=edu,dc=au"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=sandal,dc=jepit,dc=edu,dc=au"
rootpw secret
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm
The fourth line (
rootpw secret) contains the root password
that you need to supply to the server to make changes to the entries and do
some other functions.
Running slapd requires root access, so run
su root -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd
if you're already logged in as root.
To check that the server is running and configured correctly, you
can search it with
ldapsearch. By default,
ldapsearch is installed as
/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch. Use the following command:
ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
An important file in an LDAP server is the schema file, which, for
slapd, is called
core.schema, located at
/usr/local/openldap-2.0.7/etc/openldap/schema/. It
contains the directory schema of the LDAP server.
A directory schema specifies, among other things, the types of objects that a directory may have and the attributes that are mandatory and optional to that object. A directory schema also contains attribute type definitions, object class definitions, and other information which a server uses to determine how to match a filter or attribute value assertion against the attributes of an entry, and whether to permit add and modify operations.
The LDAP v3 schema is based on the X.500 standard for common objects found in a network like countries, localities, organizations, users/persons, groups and devices.
The LDAP v3 schema is specified in RFC 2252 and RFC 2256.
All LDAP entries in the directory are typed. Each entry belongs to
object classes that identify the type of data represented by the
entry. The object class specifies the mandatory and optional
attributes that can be associated with an entry of that class. The
object classes for all objects in the directory form a class
hierarchy. The classes
top and
alias are at
the root of the hierarchy. For example, the
organizationalPerson object class is a subclass of the
Person object class, which in turn is a subclass of
top. When creating a new LDAP entry, you must always
specify all of the object classes to which the new entry
belongs. Because many directories do not support object class
subclassing, you also should always include all of the superclasses of
the entry.
Three types of object classes are possible:
For example, for an
organizationalPerson object, you
should list in its object classes the
person, and
top classes. The
person, and
top objects are listed as the
following entries in the
core.schema file.
objectclass ( 188.8.131.52 NAME 'top' ABSTRACT
MUST objectClass )
objectclass ( 220.127.116.11 NAME 'person' SUP top STRUCTURAL
MUST ( sn $ cn )

ou $ st $ l
LDAP v3 specifies that each directory entry may contain an operational attribute that identifies its subschema subentry. A subschema subentry contains the schema definitions for the object classes and attribute type definitions used by entries in a particular part of the directory tree. If a particular entry does not have a subschema subentry, then the subschema subentry of the root DSE, which is named by the empty DN, is used. For more information about the schema, refer to RFCs 2252 and 2256.
Adding entries to the server is the first thing you should do. To
add entries to slapd, you use
ldapadd, which reads the
content of an
ldif file, checks the validity of its
entries, and adds the entries to the server if the entries are
To add entries to the LDAP server, you need to pass the domain name
and the password for the root user. For example, with the following
command you pass the domain name (
and the password (
secret) and the
example.ldif containing the entries to be added.
ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager ,dc=sendal,dc=jepit,dc=edu,dc=au" -w
secret -f example.ldif
The argument list of
ldapadd can be displayed by
ldapadd with no arguments.
As mentioned above, the LDIF is used to represent LDAP entries in text form. The basic syntax of an LDIF entry is
dn: <distinguished name>
<attrtype>: <attrvalue>
<attrtype>: <attrvalue>
<id> is the optional entry ID (a positive
decimal number). Normally, you would not supply the
allowing the database creation tools to do that for you. A line may be
continued by starting the next line with a single space or tab character, as
dn: cn=Frank Dominic, o=University of Michigan, c=US
Multiple attribute values are specified on separate lines.

If an
<attrvalue> contains a non-printing
character, or begins with a space or a colon (
:), the
<attrtype> is followed by a double colon and the
value is encoded in base 64 notation. e.g., the value " begins
with a space" would be encoded like this:
cn:: IGJlZ2lucyB3aXRoIGEgc3BhY2U=

The JNDI is API for writing programs to access naming and directory services.
The JNDI is grouped into five packages.
For the project in this article you only need the
javax.naming and
JNDI is included in version 1.3 of Java 2 SDK. If you are using this version, you are in luck. For users of JDK 1.1 and Java 2 SDK version 1.2, the JNDI can be downloaded and installed separately. In the Java 2 SDK, version 1.3, you can find service providers for the following services:
If you are using an older version of Java, you must first download the JNDI as a Standard Extension on the JDK 1.1 and Java 2 SDK, version 1.2.
You must also download one or more service providers. These service providers act like JDBC drivers for database access.
When accessing a naming service, you first need a service
provider. The first thing to do is to get the initial context, which
is the starting position into the namespace. You acquire the initial
context before you do any other operation. This is because all
operations on naming and directory services are performed relative to
some context. If you specify that your initial context when accessing
a filesystem is the
/usr/local directory when you call
list() method, then it's the contents of the
/usr/local directory that will be returned. You can think
of the initial context as the application default directory.
To obtain the initial context, you call the
InitialContext() constructor, passing all the necessary
environment information in a Hashtable object:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
Into the Hashtable, you then put the service provider. For example, if you are using the filesystem service provider from Sun, this is the line of code you need.
The filesystem service provider can be downloaded here.
If you are using a different service provider, replace
put()'s second argument.
Another important environment property that you need to get the
initial context is the
PROVIDER_URL. This property is
assigned the location of the initial context. This could be a URL on
the Internet or it could just be a directory in a file system. For
instance, if you decide that your initial context when accessing a
Unix filesystem is the
/usr/local directory, then you
need the following line of code.
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:/usr/local");
Or, on a Windows system, if you want the
directory to be the initial context, your code would look like
the following.
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:C:\\data");
And, optionally, you can also put the user credentials such as the username and password.
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "james");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "secret");
Having the environment information ready, you can now create the initial context.
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
If the object is created successfully, you can use the resulting Context object to access the naming service. The lookup method of the Context interface can be used to retrieve an object by passing its name.
Object obj = ctx.lookup("info.txt");
For example, the following code prepares an environment Hashtable
object, creates an initial context, and retrieves the
info.txt file.
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.*;
import java.io.File;
public class Naming {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "james");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "secret");
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
File f = (File)ctx.lookup("info.txt");
catch (NamingException e) {
Object object from the lookup method is cast to a
File object. If the object is a Printer, you can do
something similar:
Printer printer = (Printer) ctx.lookup("BigMomma");
Some of the code is in a try-catch wrapper because many methods in the JNDI packages can throw a NamingException.
Other useful methods of the Context interface include the following.
bind -- Binds an object to a name. After the binding,
you can retrieve the object by looking up the name.
rebind -- Adds or replaces a binding. If the name is
already bound to an object, it will be unbound and bound with the new
object specified as the argument of this method.
unbind -- Removes a binding.
list -- Enumerates the names bound in the named
context, along with the class names of objects bound to
Every naming method in the Context interface has two overloads: one
that accepts a Name argument and one that accepts a
java.lang.String name. Name is an interface that
represents a generic name; an ordered sequence of zero or more
The overloads that accept
Name are useful for applications
that need to manipulate names, that is, composing them, comparing
components, and so on.
java.lang.String name argument represents a
composite name. The overloads that accept
java.lang.String names are likely to be more useful for
simple applications, such as those that read in a name and look up the
corresponding object.
When you access a directory service, there are several initial
steps to perform. The first is to prepare an environment
Hashtable object to get the initial context.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
One of the environment properties you need to set is the
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY. For example, if you are
accessing an LDAP service, you can use the service provider from
Sun. The code would then look like the following.
If you are using a service provider from another vendor, just
replace the second argument to
put(). Next, you supply
the location of the service. For example, the following specifies a
location of an LDAP server at
ldap://sendal.jepit.edu.au:389 (389 is the default port for the
LDAP service).
You can then acquire an initial context by passing the environment
Hashtable. However, unlike accessing a naming system, you use the
DirContext interface instead of the
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
Having a
DirContext object, you can access the
directory service using the methods of the
interface; the important methods of which include
getSchema and
getAttributes -- Returns the attributes of an
object in the directory. For this method to work, you need to pass the
name of the object for which you want the attributes. If you have an
object whose name is "cn=boni, ou=person", you can retrieve the
object's attributes using the following line of code.
Attributes attr = ctx.getAttributes("cn=boni, ou=person");
getSchema -- Retrieves the schema associated with
the named object.
search -- Search for entries in a named context or
object. The search must satisfy a given search filter. The syntax of
one of the many search methods is as follows.
public NamingEnumeration search(String name, String filter,
SearchControls cons) throws NamingException
The parameters are given below.
name -- The name of the context or object to search.
filter -- The filter expression to use for the
search; may not be null
cons -- These control the search. If null, the
default search controls are used (equivalent to
You can create a SearchControls object by using the following code.
SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls();
A white pages service for locating a person in an LDAP server. As
mentioned previously, I use the LDAP server from OpenLDAP. In order
to keep the project simple, I use the person object defined in the
core.schema file.
For convenience, the person object in the core.schema file is re-presented here.
objectclass ( 18.104.22.168 NAME 'person' SUP top STRUCTURAL
MUST ( sn $ cn )
MAY ( userPassword $ telephoneNumber $ seeAlso $ description )
The person object has two mandatory attributes:
sn and
cn, and four optional attributes:
To test the code in this project, you need to populate the directory:
ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager ,dc=sendal,dc=jepit,dc=edu,dc=au" -w
secret -f example.ldif
This reads the
example.ldif file and insert its
content as entries to the server. The
example.ldif file
contains the following.
dn: cn=Bulbul, dc=sedal,dc=usyd,dc=edu,dc=au
objectclass: person
cn: Bulbul Kurniawan
sn: Kurniawan
userPassword: secret
telephoneNumber: +61 98371313
dn: cn=boni, dc=sedal,dc=usyd,dc=edu,dc=au
objectclass: person
cn: Boni Milliken
sn: Milliken
userPassword: dog
telephoneNumber: +61 9555 1212
dn: cn=boy, dc=sedal,dc=usyd,dc=edu,dc=au
objectclass: person
cn: Boy Milliken
sn: Milliken
userPassword: taboo
telephoneNumber: +61 98989898
Make sure that you have installed the correct service provider and
CLASSPATH variable contains the path to the JNDI
The code for the white pages service is given in Listing 1. The Java code allows you to access the LDAP server and search a person or persons by passing a surname. The code starts by preparing a environment Hashtable object and setting the necessary properties for the environment.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
And then, as explained above, you need a
object as the initial context, which is done by calling the
InitialDirContext constructor, passing the environment
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
Once you have a
DirContext object, you can use it to
access the LDAP service. To start searching, use the search method by
passing a
SearchControls object.
SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls();
NamingEnumeration persons =
"(objectclass=person)", constraints);
Then, display the search result, i.e., the attributes of all the person objects that match the search criteria.
For each person object found, you use the
method to retrieve the object's attributes. This method returns the
Attributes object. You can then use the get method of the
Attributes object to obtain the value of an attribute by
passing the attribute name.
attributes.get( attributeName );
The part of the code that displays the attribute names of the person objects found is given below.
System.out.println("Distinguished Name \t| " +
"Common Name \t| Surname \t| Phone");
while (persons != null && persons.hasMore()) {
SearchResult sr = (SearchResult) persons.next();
System.out.print( sr.getName() + "\t| "); // distinguised name
Attributes attrs = sr.getAttributes();
attrs.put(new BasicAttribute("sn", searchedSurname));
// attrs.put(new BasicAttribute("cn", "boy"));
System.out.print(attrs.get("cn") + "\t| "); // common name
System.out.print(attrs.get("sn") + "\t| "); // surname
System.out.println(attrs.get("telephoneNumber")); // phone
} // end of while
If you run the code in Listing 1, you can see the result that looks something like the following.
Distinguished Name | Common Name | Surname | Phone
cn=Boni Milliken |cn: boy |sn: Milliken | +61 9555 1212
cn=Boy Milliken |cn: boy |sn: Milliken | +61 98989898
Naming and directory services are important, providing a way to find objects based on their name or other attributes. A directory service is an extension of a naming service in which object has various attributes. So you can you look up an object by its name, and you can get the object's attributes or search for the object based on its attributes. Using a directory service such as an LDAP server, you can create many applications, including the white pages service described above.

Barre leaders look for budget cuts
BARRE City councilors and some members of a newly formed citizens committee spent four hours over the weekend discussing the latest draft of a $10.7 million municipal budget.
Now comes the hard part.
Faced with a 7.7 percent spending increase, which all seem to agree is too rich for Barres blood, City Manager Steve Mackenzie, the committee, and the council must find a way to cut costs in hopes of avoiding what they fear could be a replay of the multi-vote budget debacle that occurred just last year.
The sweet spot, according to Mackenzie, would be a spending increase somewhere south of 5 percent. He said 4 percent would be even better, and if the manager was looking for an argument Saturday morning he didnt get one from anyone huddled in council chambers.
However, that may be easier said than done as some councilors said they will advocate strongly for positions that arent yet reflected in the bottom line of a draft budget they were told is still very much a work-in-progress. Two new police officers are at the top of that list as is a new administrative position that council members have long argued would provide Mackenzie with some sorely needed support.
Although Mayor Thomas Lauzon made an early exit Saturday, he said he was all ears when it came to the new positions, but warned he would have a hard time supporting any of them if offsetting cuts could not be identified and the currently contemplated spending increase is not reduced.
Lauzon said he wasnt sold on the need for additional police officers and feared including an administrative position that was a casualty of the budget process last year could provide an inviting target to those looking for a reason to vote against the budget.
Im not going to argue the need (for an assistant city manager) with you, but I think we got the answer to that question last year and we got our (expletive deleted) handed to us, he said, referring to two failed attempts to persuade voters to approve a municipal budget last year.
That said, Lauzon indicated the council will lean heavily on the fledgling committee that is scheduled to begin its deliberations tonight, and meet again on Thursday before reporting its progress to the council on Saturday.
Everythings on the table, Lauzon told the three committee members who attended Saturdays session. Youre not here for show. Youre here to do work.
According to Lauzon, that includes evaluating staffing and sharing observations and recommendations with Mackenzie and the council.
It is your responsibility to look at every department and make sure that were using labor dollars in the most efficient way possible, he said.
Lauzons comments came in response to one committee members observation that the council failed to deliver on a promise it made in the run-up to the third, and ultimately successful, budget vote last May. Responding to questions involving the current structure of the police and fire departments, the council promised among other things to take a serious look at both, though John Hannigan said there was no evidence that actually happened.
You as a council told the taxpayers: Lets pass this budget and well have these answers in July, he said. Well its January.
Hannigans comment, Lauzons response and Councilor Michael Boutins suggestion the group discuss the matter behind closed doors, prompted Mackenzie to worry aloud that the conversation was heading in an unhelpful direction.
This year that will kill us, he warned.
If there was one point on which everyone seemed to agree, it was that avoiding the division that crept into the budget process a year ago was crucial to persuading voters to support the spending plan this year. Though that may require some yet-to-be-identified compromises, councilors and committee members agreed presenting a united front is imperative.
My goal is to have a budget that passes the first time around, said committee member Jeff Friot.
Given the current economic times Friot said that may make any new initiatives a tough sell.
My concern is if we add things to the budget they (voters) will see the sticker price and just say no because they dont understand what goes into it, he said during a sweeping discussion that touched on everything from parking fines and overtime to health insurance and cemetery maintenance.
One idea that was discussed, but didnt appear to have much support, involved giving voters an opportunity to separately approve funding for two additional police officers and perhaps the assistant city manager.
Councilor Michael Smith was among those who argued that would be a mistake that could lead to voters feeling duped. If the committee and the council believe the new positions are important, he said, they should be included in the regular operating budget.
Smith did suggest the committee consider the possibility of partially funding the assistant city manager with some of the money that former Barre businessman Charlie Semprebon left the city following his death in 2009. Partially funding the position for the first year with some of the money Semprebon left the city would ease the tax impact of expanding the staff at City Hall.
Mackenzie said he welcomed the sort of cold-eyed analysis, the committee will bring to this years budget review. However, he predicted he would feel the same about the final product of those deliberations as he did about last years twice-defeated spending plan.
It (the proposed spending increase) is entirely defendable, he said. The question is whether its tolerable.

The Filibuster
My challenge to you, Jeff, is to get a date with Erin Andrews. Or at
least get her to answer your email/Tweet, Facebook poke, etc.
Confessions of a She-Fan
For well over a year now, The Filibuster has been the weekly RSBS medium for sounding off on baseball and politics's most important issues.
Dear readers, this week is no exception.
Indeed, my freakish obsession with sports' most beautiful sideline reporter, the one and only Erin Andrews, has finally left the long creepish confines of my mind and unleashed its potentially psychotic repercussions on the public. For Jane Heller of Confessions of a She-Fan has thrown down the proverbial gauntlet and kicked my poor self-esteemed ^ss into working my hidden magical charm to — at the very least — make contact with her highness… and see where the magic takes me (us).
Fear not! I am no Joba Chamberlain. While my advances may be thwarted on a regular basis, they never cause the receiver to curl her lip in disgust (that generally takes place only once I've gone on to the next
victim lovely lady).
So, how will I go about this endeavor? Jane suggests "email/Tweet, Facebook poke, etc"… and while those tools will certainly find good use in my mission, I would like to start with a banging first impression:
When it comes to the religion of baseball, I am anything but laodicean!
Oh, and when it comes to the dance floor, dear Erin, I got moves galore.
Hold on to your seats y'all… this is gonna be one
scandalous shameless wild ride.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Something on your mind? Want to see Jeff and Al sweat (separately, not together, eww)? Think you got a real stumper? Send us your Filibuster question(s) by commenting or emailing them to us at email@example.com.
***Pictures of Allen doing something bad also welcome.

I knew you'd go for it. This will be the best saga of the entire baseball season!
You'd better be careful. It's a fine line between getting an autographed picture and having her notify the police.
It's all Jane's fault. All of it😉 And thanks, Prince. Point taken.
LOL good luck! Can't wait to see the results. I saw her doing interviews during the spelling bee on ESPN. Oops, I just let out that I watched it haha. I had the Red Sox game on my laptop… and well… okay no excuses lol.

Playoffs first. We are not a lock for the post season.
For a Giant fan that I personally knew: My mom. May she smile and be delighted whenever her favorite player - Victor Cruz - scores a touchdown and does his salsa dance.
Thank you mom for everything! Let's Go Giants!
I want to face the NY giants right now. No joke. we would knock the "blue" off you. No psychological advantage here as you can never really dominate and have always won by mere four or five points.
you know what everybody thinks about the giants and their sb wins don't you ?
Please face us i would love nothing more than to beat the giants or whoever the hell want's us at anytime.
NFC = pretenders
Both conferences are shaky. Weird year.

Thank you Ely! Thank you Andre! Happy Birthday Loney!
I am glad I went to the game last night! After seeing the Dodgers give up 22 runs in two innings, but like my friend Bluetide said "who am I kidding?, I am a junkie!"
Congratulations to Ely for a great performance. You deserved the win kid but you know it became a team win.
Congratulations to Andre for his second grand-slam of the year! And his second walk-off this year!
Happy Birthday James Loney!
Loney turns 26 today!
Go Kuroda-san!!
Go Dodgers!!
Off to the stadium soon. Wish my alergies were better.

Allergies!!! Grrrr!
Aren't we all junkies? A 22 run shalacking won't stop me from going to a game the very next day!
Enjoy Emma
Hey Mike! It was not going to stop me from going ethier🙂 got another complain coming
Thanks Mike! You know there was no doubt I was coming to the game 'cause they may be bums but they are my bums
Ely seems like a great addition to the rotation. And somebody told me he looks like Matthew McConaughy (sp?).
Thanks for reminding me of that! Vin Scully commented that during the game and I wrote it down in my scorecard but I forgot about it! I really need some Ginko Bilova!
LOL Rob! My problem too! When Jane mentioned it, I remembered that I have two bottles so Iwent downstairs and took one tablet. I had a bottle at work but I asked a co-worker if it was OK to take them after their expirations date which was two years ago and he said no.
Ginko Bilova…..I used to take that stuff. But I kept forgetting if I took it or not 😉
Congratulations for Andre's walk-off gland slam and back-to-back wins! (both lacking from my Mariners) I'm wishing good luck to Kuroda-san on his next game.
Loney went 0-4 on his birthday but the team won!
Long time no read you. Andre has been the big spark on this team. He collected three hits …::looks at time:: yesterday. Kuroda did not win the game but kept the team in it.
Good luck to your Marines. I hope they start playing better.
