Partners of PMD: Michael
Even with the love Michael felt for his wife, postpartum depression was something that was difficult at first to understand.
"I had never heard about it. When it was introduced to me, I actually had to write it down because even the words were very unfamiliar to me," he said.
Working beyond the hours of full time as both a chef and restaurant owner, Michael was stretched thin by the responsibilities of of work and home. The couple was in the process of opening a second restaurant when Melina was born. But after the birth, Sylvia was constantly near the breaking point. So Michael had a heavy responsibility.
"You just have to appease her and make her feel better, so she comes out of that dark hole that she's in. Like sending a rope down so you can pull her out, just a little bit, so she can see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Michael fought his feelings of selfishness and sadness over his wife's mental illness, that they weren't able to live with their newborn daughter and that his family life wasn't the picture-perfect story that he expected.
"There's this piece where you have to be an actor, where you know you have hurt inside and you know your wife's hurt, but you have to be the stronger one," he said.."When things aren't well at home, you feel depressed and you feel trapped and now where do you go?"
Medicine, therapy and support were crucial to Sylvia's recovery. Michael's role was to just be there, constantly letting Sylvia know that his love for her was strong.
"You really have to ... embrace her and tell her you love her and that you're behind her and that whatever it takes to make her better that you're going to do it," he said. "She will never get better unless you give her the support."
Michael says more awareness of postpartum depression is needed, but says that information for husbands is still limited.
"I don't think enough men come out and speak about (postpartum depression) so other men can relate to how to ... be a husband while your whole family life is going crazy."

Schroeder will bring its best against nation's No. 2 team Brentwood in boys state soccer semifinals
I love what Dave Urbanski did this week. The Webster Schroeder boys soccer coach did the type of research on his teams opponent that's a heck of a lot easier in this era of the internet, sized up powerful Brentwood himself and then asked his players what they wanted to do in Saturday's 1:30 p.m. state soccer semifinals in Middletown, Orange County. They had three choices: 1) Sit back, absorb pressure and try to counter 2) Play high-pressure defense that could create turnovers but also could expose the Warriors to counter attacks 3) "Play our game," Urbanski said, offering a last option.
Schroeder, just as their coached hoped, chose what was behind Door #3. And here's why that's great: Schroeder is no fluke. It lost 1-0 in last year's title game to Hicksville, lost a few keyplaymakers but is back in the semis. The Warriors BELONG here. What Urbanski and his coaches have taught these players and how they've responded has been good enough to go 38-3-3 the past two years. Why change now? You give it your best doing what YOU do best and see what happens. So, while I think Schroeder will need to play its best to beat Brentwood, out of Long Island, where it has won seven titles in the past decade and is coached by a man who has been in the position almost as long as Urbanski has been on planet earth (33 years), I love its mindset. Without injured midfielder Marco DeBole, who knows if the Warriors will still have enough to beat the Indians. But I sure love the way they're approaching it.
By the way, to check out what Schroeder's up against, click here to watch video highlights from Brentwood's 1-0 win over Syosset earlier this week and look for my story on the match, along with previews of Section V's three other boys teams playing in the semis, this evening at www.DemocratandChronicle.com and in Saturday's print edition.
FOLLOW MY UPDATES: I will be in Cortland all day on Saturday for the girls semifinals involving Webster Thomas (AA), Brighton (A) and Greece Odyssey (B) and Keshequa (C) and Jasper-Troupsburg (D) also are in action. You can follow my updates on Twitter by clicking here (@RocDevo). I'll also be plugged in to some people at the Schroeder game and will pass along updates from it. Here's a link to our previews on the girls semis. And here's a link to my story on the Brighton girls (see video below).

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke today to U.S. Armed Forces serving at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The Secretary said:
"...I am delighted to see and to hear every single one of you and I know that some of your units have just come back from deployments all over the Pacific from our Medevac detachment unit in Basra, Iraq. Thank you for your service. From Afghanistan, thank you for your service. We are grateful to each and every one of you and we're also grateful to your families. Because I know that maybe one of you is actually in uniform, but the entire family serves. And so please express my appreciation to them as well.
"I'm here on my sixth trip as Secretary of State to the Asia Pacific region, because this is the center of much of the change and many of the challenges of the 21st century. I gave a speech, I guess it was yesterday now in Hawaii, outlining some of those changes and challenges and explaining what we are doing to meet them. We are engaging evermore actively in this region with our allies, our partners, with emerging powers, with institutions that are being built in order to keep the peace, advance prosperity and stability. This is an opportunity for me to come to Guam, the home of 170,000 very loyal American citizens who care deeply about our country and who are part of our extended defense.
"I will go from here to Vietnam, a country that we are developing stronger relationships with that were unimaginable even 10 years ago, let alone 40 years ago. And then for me it is on to China for a brief stop to discuss the upcoming trip to the United States of President Hu Jintao, then to Cambodia and Malaysia and then on to Papua New Guinea and then to New Zealand, Australia and my last stop will be American Samoa. In just a few weeks, President Obama will be visiting India, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea as well. So you can see we're paying a lot of attention to what's going on in the Asia Pacific region, because the United States is both an Atlantic and a Pacific power. And one of our goals coming into office 20 months ago was to reassert the American presence in Asia. And everywhere I travel on your behalf, I hear from leaders and citizens alike that they are glad America is back."
The Secretary continued, "...With Veteran's Day approaching, I want you and your families to know that the American people remain grateful and proud for your service. The dedication and sacrifices of the American military are very obvious in this region. We've been there standing sentinel. We've been there defending and taking the fight to those who would undermine freedom, our way of life, and the opportunity for millions and millions of others to have a chance to live up to their own God-given potential. It's a great honor for me to have a chance to come here and personally express the appreciation and gratitude of all of those who may not know your names and may never come to Guam, but because you're here, they sleep more soundly at night.
"I look out at all of you and it makes me very proud to be the Secretary of State of our great country. In fact, everywhere I go and every place I visit being able to say I represent the United States of America never ever ceases to send a chill down my spine. My dad was a World War II Navy vet. And I know from my own growing up how important it is that you're on duty for me, for my family, for your families, and for all of us and for future generations. Thank you and God bless you."

Secretary Clinton is traveling to Hawaii, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, and Australia October 27-November 8. You can learn about the Secretary's trip here.

Topic: [Share] Best Web Hosting for Ruby On Rails(based on my experience)
As a programmer who works using Ruby On Rails, I have some experiences with some web hosting in deploying Rails application. However, in this post I will only mention the best web hosting among them. From my experience so far, Heroku is the one. Why ?
There are some reasons why I choose Heroku as the best web hosting for application which is built using Ruby On Rails.
Heroku platform is already integrated with git , one of my favourite source code control. It really helps a lot in application development.
Heroku platform provides simple ways to install required gems. As developer, I didn't need to run bundle install manually to install all required gems. It's already done when pushing the application to Heroku.
Heroku also provides many add-on to support our application. For example, they provide memcached add-on to speed-up our application loading.
Heroku provides simple commands to us in debugging our application such : heroku logs, heroku restart, heroku rake db:migrate, heroku console.
Heroku provides free account feature too.
With those facts above, if you're still looking for web hosting for your Ruby On Rails application, I suggest you to give it a try.
Disclaimer : This post has nothing to do with Heroku. I'm not promoting them either. I just share my experience so far related with web hosting for Ruby On Rails Application. And it told me that Heroku is the best one.

Tuition plan is opportunity
Leave it to New York state to muddy the waters.
On Tuesday, Ripley Central School district residents will be voting on a proposal to tuition students in grades seven to 12 to Chautauqua Lake Central School. As documented in a community meeting last month, the number of programs offered at the school has dwindled with the student population.
In 1992-93, the district had about 530 students. This year, there are about 300.
So where does New York state's mixed message come in? From the aid proposal by the governor, which offers the Ripley district more than $6 million for 2013-14, an increase of $418,183 or 7.5 percent from this year.
As a vote on possible tuitioning neared, the state has once again wrongly floated a life preserver to a district going under water in terms of finances and curriculum.
We urge voters in the district to approve the tuitioning plan despite the state's flawed funding formula. Students, as part of the tuitioning plan, will benefit from increased educational opportunities in academics, extracurricular activities and athletics.
Staying the same path – despite the aid increase proposal – only lessens future educational opportunities for students at the school.

Six creative birthday desserts that are sure to dazzle your kids and their friends.
Birthday parties are the end-all, be-all for just about every kid under the age of 16. Creativity knows no bounds at that age either, meaning it's never safe to assume all kids crave a standard princess party or action hero shindig. Instead, kids may want to transport their guests into a favorite video game (Minecraft, anyone?) or send them on the high seas for a pirate party. Regardless of the vision, one thing's for certain�sweets will need to be involved and they will need to be outlandish. The following cake and dessert recipes are some of our most creative and kid-adored on Relish.com. �Pin the following designs to Pinterest�in just one pin. Camping Birthday Party [caption id="attachment_329972" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Ed Anderson[/caption] Dessert: Giant S'Mores Kids and parents alike will be utterly amazed by this giant caramelized marshmallow, courtesy of�The Big Dish: Recipes to Dazzle and Amaze from America�s Most Spectacular Restaurant,�by Barton G. Weiss. Serve alongside Hershey bars and graham crackers for optimum dipping. Oh, and don't forget to pair with a thick stack of napkins. Rainbow Dash Party [caption id="attachment_330180" align="aligncenter" width="464"] Karry Hosford[/caption] Dessert: Rainbow Layer Cake (recipe below) Okay, yes, there are layers here�but don't you dare be intimidated. This cake is remarkably simple. So simple, in fact, that we are going to list the entire recipe right here: Take 2 boxes of white cake mix, blend according to package instructions, divide batter equally unto 6 bowls, and add food coloring to get the rainbow colors. Line the bottom of 6 disposable cake pans with parchment and divide the batter evenly. Bake 5 to 10 minutes less than package instructions as the layers are thin. Let cool, stack, and frost with your favorite icing. Decorate with rainbow nerd candies and skittles. That simple! Garden Party [caption id="attachment_330181" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Mark Boughton Photography / styling by Teresa Blackburn[/caption] Dessert: Adorable DIY Chocolate Flowerpot Cakes We've found chocolate cake makes a rather fantastic tromp l'oeil for garden soil. Coincidentally, terra cotta pots also make fine serving vessels. So baking these flowerpot cakes for garden-themed festivities is an absolute no-brainer. Best part? Everyone's serving will be perfectly tidy and all the same size�meaning, there will be no tears or arguments over who gets the�corner pieces. Pirate Bash [caption id="attachment_329970" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Ed Anderson[/caption] Dessert: Chocolate Treasure Cake Another creative recipe from The Big Dish, this treasure trove of chocolatey goodness is nestled in a bed of graham cracker sand, sprinkled with chocolate coins. Word to the wise: You may want to skip the ice cream topping in the presentation and serve kids their scoops individually to avoid a sticky mess! Minecraft Birthday [caption id="attachment_330182" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Karry Hosford[/caption] Desserts: Toadstools, Rice Krispie Treats, Little Debbie Cake Instead of settling on a chief birthday dessert, go the buffet route with basic treats dressed for the occasion. Here, in the blocky style of Minecraft, we topped jumbo marshmallows with red candy melts to create toadstools, made chocolate Rice Krispies treats (with a bit of black food coloring added to the marshmallow mix for a coal-like appearance) and stacked Little Debbie devil squares, topping them�with plastic grass found at a hobby shop. Tea Party Birthday [caption id="attachment_289041" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Mark Boughton Photography / styling by Teresa Blackburn[/caption] Dessert: Flourless Chocolate Beet Cakes Fudgy, dense and gluten-free, our sweet individual mug cakes are fittingly served in teacups. Somewhere between a souffle and a cake, these desserts draw on pureed beets, rather than food coloring, for their slightly rose-y hue. If your kids aren't prone to beets, no worries here�the beet flavors aren't pronounced. They'll never be the wiser. For more totally outlandish recipes like the�Giant S'mores or Chocolate Treasure Cake, we suggest taking a look at The Big Dish: Recipes to Dazzle and Amaze from America�s Most Spectacular Restaurant,�by Barton G. Weiss. Weiss recently told us "The book is filled with wild-tivity�inspiration hits me from everywhere." And with recipes such as Marshmallow Pizza and Lobster Truffle Mac and Cheese (served in a lobster shell, no less), we don't doubt him. This article originally appeared as on Relish

Rarely are larger-than-life historical figures relatable as human beings. For me, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a character of history books and film strips. A man to be admired for his empowering speeches and his inspirational marches. Although I knew he was a towering preacher, a man of God, I never thought of him as a person wrestling with his own weaknesses, grappling with his own frailties and contradictions.
That is, until I heard this part of his "Unfulfilled Dreams" sermon (audio above) given in the final months of his life:
"The question I want to raise this morning with you: Is your heart right? If your heart isn't right, fix it up today. Get God to fix it up. Get somebody to be able to say about you, "He may not have reached the highest height, he may not have realized all of his dreams, but he tried." Isn't that a wonderful thing for somebody to say about you? "He tried to be a good man. He tried to be a just man. He tried to be an honest man. His heart was in the right place." And I can hear a voice saying, crying out through the eternities, "I accept you. You are the recipient of my grace because it was in your heart! And it is so well that it was within thine heart."
I don't know this morning about you, but I can make a testimony. You don't need to go out this morning saying that Martin Luther King is a saint. Oh, no. I want you to know this morning that I'm a sinner like all of God's children! But I want to be a good man! And I want to hear a voice saying to me one day, "I take you in and I bless you, because you try. It is well that it was within thine heart." What's in your heart this morning? If you get your heart right."
For a man without religious convictions or a spiritual mooring, I heard a sermon in that moment that spoke to my own vulnerabilities as a husband and a father, as a son and a friend. And he does it in the most honest way: by asking, at least in my hearing, for understanding and forgiveness from his congregation at Ebenezer Baptist Church — the church his father founded — in Atlanta, Georgia.
You see, I've never been all that comfortable with the language of sin. It's often wielded as weapon in one's quest for a supernatural resting place. So often this language strips a man of his dignity, makes him feel small, inconsequential, a cog in a nasty machine.
But Dr. King in this sermon elevates the human spirit by making himself vulnerable. The language of sin is human frailty united with goodness and desire. We long to be more than we are, and stumble many times along the way. Dr. King expresses that goodness and frailty inside all of us. He points the finger at himself. He holds my hand and says come walk beside me and take stock of your life. He tells me not to shrink but to acknowledge, repent, and stride forward. He lets me know that being one of the fallen is to be a divine creature. He lets me know that striving to be a good man, a good father, a good husband, is part of the journey — that one's quest to be more than his basest self is redeeming, and flawed.
Dr. King's context was the '60s and civil rights. You hear a gentle leader at his most prescient; he would be killed a month later in Memphis, Tennessee. The tension and anxiety in this sermon are palpable, thick with a foreboding awareness that his life's work would be coming to an end.
His legacy today endures in so many ways. But, for me, it's the preacher in the pulpit who called me back to my own humanity, rescuing me from abject despair. In that moment one spring night several years ago, he reminded me, "It's alright. Keep on trying." I want to be a good man.
Our colleagues next door at American RadioWorks just released a riveting documentary about the last year of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life.

The Incurvariidae is a small, cosmopolitan family of approximately 100 described species and 11 genera. It is best represented in the Australian (endemic genus Perthida and several other undescribed genera and species, Nielsen and Common 1991) and Palearctic (Alloclemensia. Excurvaria, Incurvaria, Paraclemensia, Procacitas, and Subclemensia, Kozlov 1987, Kuprijanov 1992, 1993, Nielsen 1981) regions. It is poorly represented in Africa (Protaephagus capensis Scoble 1980), South America (Basileura, Simacauda Nielsen and Davis 1981, Parra and Ibarra 1994a), and North America (endemic Vespina quercivora*, Davis 1972) and one species each of Alloclemensia and Paraclemensia (Davis 1983, Nielsen 1981, 1982).

Fuel Efficiency Calculator
The following energy savings calculator was developed by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association and is provided for estimating purposes only. Actual energy savings may vary based on use and other factors.
A central furnace cycles on and off several times an hour and heats your entire house – even unoccupied rooms – wasting money. Using a supplemental hearth appliance to heat the rooms your family occupies most, or "zone heating," allows you to turn down the thermostat for the central furnace, decreasing your fuel bill.
A good way to determine the energy savings a hearth product provides depends on the fuel, fuel cost and the efficiency of the hearth appliance (along with use and your home). The following calculator can assist you in determining the cost saving benefits of the hearth product that you are considering purchasing, and the best fuel of an appliance.
The fuel calculator is also available as a widget that can be embedded on your website.

No More Gels - Page 5
Rise Energy+Bar
$23 per box of 12 1.6-ounce bars
Made with 100-percent organic fruits and nuts, the bars have a list of ingredients you can say in one breath. Rise Energy+ Bars are similar in size and consistency to Lara Bars, except that added brown rice and tapioca syrups make them softer and easier to swallow during hard efforts.
Each bar has approximately 200 calories and between 160 and 210 milligrams of potassium, added sea salt and at least four percent of your daily calcium requirement. Our long-haul favorite was the Coconut Acai, which has additional antioxidants to help fight free radicals that build up during intense workouts.
Rather than downing the entire bar at once, we ate each half at the same intervals we would have taken gels. They double as an excellent post-run recovery snack. Also try: Rise Protein+ Bars and Breakfast+ Bars (the Crunchy Perfect Pumpkin is our favorite).
All bars are gluten-free, kosher and vegetarian—some include whey and honey, so cannot be classified as vegan.

The Canada-US Enhance Resiliency Experiment (CAUSE)—demonstrating the ability to exchange information between local, state, provincial and national systems and software applications—was put to the test and worked effectively, according to officials. The suite of tools includes Virtual USA®, developed by the US Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, a library and widget made available to participating agencies that allows information to be shared across jurisdictions and borders in real time. CAUSE was tested using two scenarios -- a massive oil refinery fire in Saint John, NB, and a compressed natural gas truck explosion near Calais, Maine. Dr. David Boyd, the lead of the US Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate said CAUSE "worked more effectively and rapidly than we had hoped. This is a tremendous milestone in tearing down the technological 'tower of Babel' along national borders." The staged test involved officials from the Maine Emergency Management Agency, the Province of New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization, Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, the US Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Defence Research and Development Canada -- Centre for Security Science and Public Safety Canada. CAUSE was created from the Joint US-Canada Beyond the Border Initiative signed by US President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in February 2011.

This issue of the Beacon celebrates the successful conclusion of the "Growing the Vision" campaign at Mississippi College and the leadership that made that success possible. While any great endeavor re- quires the hard work of many people, it takes strong leadership to articulate the vision, communicate it with others, and inspire participants at every level to push toward the common goal.
More importantly, great leadership requires sac- rifice, humility, and the ability to put the needs of others above one's own. In the following pages, you'll meet MC alumni and faculty members who serve as leaders. Some have led prominent efforts like "Growing the Vision," a campaign that will en- hance facilities and programs at Mississippi College for many years to come, while others act as advo- cates for those who have no power of their own. Some are instructing the leaders of the future, while others still are leading quiet lives of service that shape the world around them for the better.
What all have in common is their desire to use their gifts of leadership to serve others and ulti- mately, to further the cause of Christ. Their stories are a reminder of the words of Jesus, who said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Looky what we have here. The Newsom love is building to near frenzy. I must say, having heard what little there is, I'm getting very excited. I'm like a child in fact. Not least because thus far she's done no wrong. You can stream track '81' from Have One On Me here (Top left). Having been raised on a lot of crazy folk, anyone else getting Pentangle vibes here?

Physical Description
Chrysocyon brachyurus is a stunning animal. The largest of all South American canids, it stands almost one meter tall at the shoulder and has a long, golden-red coat. Head and body length ranges from 1245 to 1320mm and tail length from 280 to 405mm. The long thin legs, which may serve to help the maned wolf to see above tall grass, grade from red to black at their lower portions. The anterior part of the erectile mane of long hairs is black as well. The body is narrow and the ears large and erect. The dentition of the maned wolf reflects its food habits. As this animal does not kill or eat large prey, its upper carnassials (shearing teeth) are reduced, its upper incisors weak, and its canines are long and slender.
Other Physical Features: Endothermic; Bilateral symmetry

See harmony for requirements, goals, and means informing and guiding the proposals under development for ES-Harmony.
Lacking a formal language specification, the following list is not definitive, but it should reflect consensus achieved so far in TC39. Anything can be revisited for a good reason, of course.
The following list will grow, but not without bound before the next ECMA-262 Edition is constructed. Without prematurely triaging or using "ES6" (which might have to be used for a short-term edition, worst-case), for now let's focus on near-term proposals while keeping important longer-term strawman proposals warm.
— Brendan Eich 2009/07/29 23:51
Most of the proposal on this page have already been incorporated into the ECMAScript 6 specification drafts. In general, once a proposal is incorporated into the draft specification, the latest draft takes precedence over the proposal. However, at any point in time, the integration of some proposal may still be incomplete and both proposal and the specification drafts may contain errors. If in doubt about the status of any proposal or the draft specification, post a question to es-discuss. Remember, everything is subject to change up until the point that the final draft is approved by the Ecma General Assembly.

Hedge Funds Hate Apple And 20 Other Tech Stocks
DAN CONNELLY, KAPITALL Apple's ( AAPL) stock price has taken a significant hit over the last few months. If you are at all familiar with the markets, then you must be well aware of this familiar refrain. However, new insights as to what fueled that decrease in share price are now becoming public, and it seems the big names investors are to blame.
Over the last few months of 2012, a number of prominent investors and hedge funds sold off huge chunks of their Apple stocks. Leon Cooperman, the patriarchal market figure who runs Omega Advisors, sold all of his shares in the fourth quarter of 2012 as well as his firm's 266,000 shares. During the same time, Jana Partners completely divested itself of 143,000 shares. Finally, Thomas Steyer, who runs Farallon Capital, sold 137,000 shares.
EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
While developmental stagnation and sitting on a huge pile of cash may also be culprits for Apple's poor showing over the recent period, divestments of this magnitude from such high profile investors certainly accelerated the drop in share price. The stock price ended 2012 down 24% from its peak and has lost an additional 12% so far this year. The failure to utilize huge cash sums has caused additional consternation from investors. David Einhorn, who runs Greenlight Capital and has a $600 million stake in the Apple, is suing the company to spend their cash in hopes of halting the downward trend.
Business Section: Investment Ideas
Are these prominent investors in the wrong for dumping Apple's stock in such a dramatic fashion, or do they have some important insight as to where the share price is heading? Following that question, we have assembled a list of tech companies who have experienced trends of institutional selling in the current quarter, meaning professional investors are betting against their stock. We list the top 20 sold by percent of share float. List sorted by % of share float.
List Average 1-Year Return: -8% .
1. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ( AMD): Operates as a semiconductor company in the United States, Japan, China, and Europe. Market cap at $1.8B, most recent closing price at $2.53. Net institutional sales in the current quarter at -120.1M shares, which represents about 23.07% of the company's float of 520.59M shares.
2. Cymer Inc. ( CYMI): Engages in the development, manufacture, and marketing of excimer light sources for the manufacturers of photolithography tools in the semiconductor equipment industry. Market cap at $3.05B, most recent closing price at $97.04. Net institutional sales in the current quarter at -3.9M shares, which represents about 14.49% of the company's float of 26.92M shares.

Full Title: Linguistic Variation Yearbook
Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
Call Deadline: 15-Oct-2009
The editors of the Linguistic Variation Yearbook invite submissions on
topics that fit the aim and scope of the yearbook.
The main goal of the Linguistic Variation Yearbook is the study of the
scope and nature of linguistic variation within the minimalist program,
which radically redefines the status of various components of UG. While a
limited number of specific mechanisms and constraints apply within the
syntactic component (Narrow Syntax), many others are now only formulable at
the interface levels, the nature of which remains largely unknown.
Within that perspective, LIVY seeks to investigate to what extent the study
of linguistic variation can shed some light on the broader issue of
language particular vs. language universal properties, language design and
conceptual necessity. Establishing the exact content of such notions is of
particular importance within any framework that hopes to give a principled
account of the range of linguistic variation evidenced in natural languages.
The main emphasis of the Yearbook is to relate the patterns of linguistic
variation and the universal patterns found among the world's languages to
the organization of the language faculty proper, taking into account its
relations with other faculties of the human mind/brain within the domain of
Cognitive Science. It offers a forum for empirical and theoretical
developments which further both our understanding of the nature of
linguistic diversity and its preservation.
The call deadline for volume 10 of the Yearbook is 15 October, 2009.
For more information, visit the LIVY-website, or contact the editors.

Time for Barclays to ditch the millionaire brats
It is reasonably safe to assume that Antony Jenkins, the chief executive of Barclays, and David Beckham, the footballing megastar, rarely have much in common.
But on the last day of January, as the football transfer window was swinging shut and with Barclays facing fresh regulatory investigations (this time over money it received from Qatar at the height of the financial crisis), these two very different men's lives briefly overlapped when they both turned down huge amounts of cash.
Beckham landed in France to announce that he had signed for Paris St Germain and would be donating his entire salary to charity. Meanwhile, Jenkins said that he had decided to waive his bonus after a "difficult" year for Barclays.
Both moves were met with a certain amount of cynicism. Some in France have branded Beckham's generosity a tax dodge, while Jenkins's move was widely scorned as a PR stunt by the popular press.
It's worth examining the source of such cynicism because the similarities between banking and football don't end there. And, lest you have forgotten, the main sponsor of top flight English football is Barclays – a bank that this week launched an attempt to restore its tarnished image.
Football's trying to do the same. Last week Premier League clubs signed up to new rules to promote "financial sustainability", including wage caps and ceilings for indebtedness. For a game seemingly hooked on financial excess, it's a welcome development; for those working in banks, it will all sound extremely familiar. These days, the association between football and finance brings mostly unhappy parallels.
On Tuesday, following a five-month strategic review, Jenkins said he wants to introduce changes that will help "build a better Barclays". He added that he wanted to create a culture in which all the bank's employees behave "in a way that's consistent with our values".
Corporate sponsorship is probably quite low on Jenkins' agenda right now. But he has missed an open goal in his attempt to restore his bank's battered reputation: he should have announced an end to Barclays' sponsorship of England's top division.
The bank took over from its credit card arm, Barclaycard, as the main sponsor of the Premier League in 2004 and last year extended its deal to the 2015/16 season for a mere £40m a year.
It's hard to think of a better fit than noughties-era Barclays and the Premier League. Linking the brand to the thrills and spills of the England's top football division, where richly rewarded young men with rampant egos perform weekly heroics and histrionics, was like holding a mirror up to Bob Diamond's buccaneering BarCap.
In terms of media profile and global reach, there are few more attractive properties than the Premier League, particularly given its huge popularity in Asia. It even meant that Diamond, a big Chelsea fan, got the chance to hand the Premier League trophy to John Terry when "the Blues" topped the table in 2010.
But in that one image – Diamond Bob arm in arm with JT – you have the crux of the problem for Barclays.
Having your bank's brand attached to the childish on and off-field antics of the league's overpaid stars is no longer the no-brainer it once was. If Jenkins wants Barclays to represent respect, integrity, service, excellence and stewardship then now would be a good time for him to take the high ground, end the deal and bin the millionaire brats.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (435 votes).
In short: Lovely course and great organisation. Shady lanes made up for heat and hills 'added interest'!In full: Route was SO much better than last years; I really hope they stick with it. Most people found this a slower course, thanks to undulations, but I did actually get a PB today. Really enjoyed the whole event.Date of review: June 10, 2007
In short: forgot toadd my comment for this race, it was so boringDate of review: September 17, 2006
In short: New course is awful!Date of review: August 1, 2006
In short: Boring , tediuous course and poor traffic control.In full: They changed the course from the previous year to make it more memorable in their 25th year anniversary....they certainly did that by making it far duller with even less shade than on previous years, more traffic hazards and a steep hill between 11 and 12 miles..Genious !! A massive dissapointment on a normally great and well run raceDate of review: July 12, 2006
In short: Dull route - hope organisers take note of all similar comments - ice-lollies top!!!Date of review: July 2, 2006
In short: AverageIn full: This was the second time I have run the St Albans Half. The new course in my humble opinion was terrible. The road from St Albans to Harpenden was a narrower version of the Redbourn Road (that everyone always complains about). The introduction of Folly Lane was folly itself. A ridculously steep hill to give you two minutes of running through the newly redevloped town centre (Did that really cost £5 Million?!?!). To the previous secretary of the Review Sunday Football League please stick to football. Your commentary about people taking over two hours as being "Fun Runners who are vowing never again" was at best ill informed, and at worst an insult to the majority of runners ( Finishing alone in the 30 degree heat was a fantastic acheiment in itself).Full credit to the marshalls and police who so wonderfully got us all through it you really were the difference between finishing and not!!Date of review: June 20, 2006
In short: Never have I run so slowly. Nothing to do with the course, it was the 29 degress that did it. Fab race though, well organised, well marshalled and great support all the way round!Date of review: June 18, 2006
In short: Not enough marshalls or water stops considering the heat.Date of review: June 16, 2006
In short: Boring route, too hot.In full: There are definitely much nicer and more scenic routes around St Albans than this mainly non-traffic free race. The same route I will not run again as it it boring and - on this particular day - was too hot to enjoy the running.Date of review: June 15, 2006
In short: My first half and blinkin heck was it hot!In full: Great people to chat to, fab drinks, lollies medals and t-shirts at the end. It was a little bit tricky to pass those who had walked as the course was a bit narrow in places. The hill tried to kill us at at 11miles. The Marshalls and police were brilliant as were the ambulance service. So pleased I did it and would do it next year if its less hot - thanks everyone!Date of review: June 14, 2006

In short: An excellent race with definite PB potentual.In full: The water stations could have been manned all of the way around and the direction to the event were poor, but all-in-all and excellent coarse that was perfect as a final warm up for London.Thanks to all the marshalls for their great supportDate of review: April 3, 2005
In short: Good course. 1 tough climb but mostly quick. Small field ranging from 1hr 10 min speedsters to jog/walkers.Date of review: March 2, 2005

Date of review: August 24, 2004
In short: Course is described as flat. No, it is undulating. All on country narrow lanes needing several dodges around cars and tanker lorries. No showers and toilets inadequate for the numbers.Date of review: August 24, 2004
In short: A nice half, rural without being particularly scenic. PB potential if you are in form but not one worth seeking out just for a fast time.Date of review: August 24, 2004

This was a great show! Tim Noonan is terrific and he is very personable with the audience. He is a top notch magician and he has a great sense of humor. The show was really entertaining. We took our 10 year old nephew and he thought it was great, too.
This is definitely a show to see!!!

Timothy Noonan is a wonderful entertainer and a real gentleman. He greeted guests at the door, and said good bye at the end. The show was entertaining and just right for our family with young teen kids.

This was a fun event. Tim Noonan is a charming entertainer. His magic is amazing. We were sitting very close to the stage and were unable to see how he did his magic. You can tell he has a passion for his work - it shows in all he does. Plus...continued

A fun family oriented show with lots of "how did he do that?" illusions. Tim has a very likable stage presence. We left the theater with smiles on our faces. Live a ten minute walk from Pier 39 and plan to go again once the show changes. ...continued

Hundreds rally for Women's March in Marquette
Board to discuss Martin Lake levels
MARQUETTE – The Marquette County Board is expected to get an update on the level of Martin Lake when the panel meets Tuesday night in regular session in Marquette.
The meeting will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Room 231 of the Henry Skewis Annex to the Marquette County Courthouse, located at 234 W. Baraga Ave.
The county board had agreed to revisit the question in April on whether the level of Martin Lake at K.I. Sawyer had rebounded after pumping from two wells nearby was decreased significantly last fall.
Property owners at the lake have been concerned about low lake levels over the past few years on Martin, Sporley and other lakes.
Many are convinced the decrease can be blamed on the pumping from the wells.
County and state officials contend several other natural factors could also affect the lake levels. With a late spring, the board decided to postpone an assessment and wait until this month to discuss the current lake levels with residents.
Some additional agenda items include an annual report from the Marquette County Land Bank Authority, an off-road vehicle recommendation, appointments to the Solid Waste Management Authority and a resolution requesting full state revenue sharing funding.
John Pepin can be reached at 906-228-2500, ext. 206.

Physical Description
Drosophila mature through complete metamorphosis, as do all members of the order Diptera.
Similar to all insects Drosophila is covered in a chitinous exoskeleton; has three main body segments; and has three pairs of segmented legs.
Adult: The common fruit fly is normally a yellow brown (tan) color, and is only about 3 mm in length and 2 mm in width (Manning 1999, Patterson, et al 1943). The shape of the common fruit fly's body is what one would normally imagine for a species of the order Diptera. It has a rounded head with large, red, compound eyes; three smaller simple eyes, and short antennae. Its mouth has developed for sopping up liquids (Patterson and Stone 1952). The female is slightly larger than the male (Patterson, et al 1943). There are black stripes on the dorsal surface of its abdomen, which can be used to determine the sex of an individual. Males have a greater amount of black pigmentation concentrated at the posterior end of the abdomen (Patterson and Stone 1952).
Like other flies, Drosophila macquarti has a single pair of wings that form from the middle segment of its thorax. Out of the last segment of its throax (which in other insects contains a second pair of wings) develops a set rudimentry wings that act as knobby balancing organs. These balancing organs are called halteres. (Raven and Johnson 1999)
Larvae are minute white maggots lacking legs and a defined head.
Other Physical Features: ectothermic ; heterothermic ; bilateral symmetry

It had all the makings of great race the scenery is rugged this time of year but still fairly impressive and the course is quick but still challenging in places. All of this changed when we got to about the 7k mark, the weather was the worst I have run in, at times the interminable wind and rain felt like it was trying to stop you in your tracks. Weather aside, good race well organised, pleasant marshalls. Date of review: November 23, 2009

text: I think this thread existed at the old Board, but I could not find it here... Many of us listen to audiobooks, I suppose. This could be a place to share what we are listening to, maybe, to recommend others some audiobooks. I will start. I just finished listening to BBC radioplay Dracula, based on Bram Stoker's novel. A great play, I enjoyed this very much, and I was really scared when listening to at night.

Geographic Range
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) inhabit the tropical forests of central Africa. They are distributed from about 10 degrees N to 8 degrees S, and from 15 degrees W to 32 degrees E. They are found from Gambia in the west to Uganda in the east, excluding the region bordered by the Congo and Lualaba rivers in central Zaire (Congo) where their sister species, bonobos (Pan paniscus), are found. (Goodall, 1986; Jones et al., 1996; Napier and Napier, 1985; Nowak, 1999)
There are three recognized subspecies of common chimpanzee. Pan troglodytes verus occurs in the western portions of the range, from Gambia to the Niger river. From the Niger river to Congo, in the central portion of the range, P. troglodytes troglodytes inhabits forested regions. In the far eastern portion of the range, from the northwestern corner of Zaire into western Uganda and Tanzania, P. troglodytes schweinfurthi is found. (Nowak, 1999)

T-Shirt Tuesday: 'F**k Fur' Tank
Posted August 21, 2012 by Diana Mendoza
No matter what some headline-grabbing pop star might say, the chemically treated dead skin and fur of a tortured animal is not "a museum pièce de résistance." Sorry, but animals were not born this way!
Fur is a nasty, nasty business, where literally millions of animals are crammed into tiny, filthy cages and then killed in horrifying ways every single year. Rabbits, minks, and foxes—even cats and dogs—have their throats slit, are strangled with wire nooses, are drowned, are bludgeoned, are poisoned, or even have their skin and fur ripped off their backs while they are STILL ALIVE. Take a stand against cruelty by rockin' our fave summer shirt, the peta2 F**k Fur tank!
This tank keeps you cool for summer, looks good on the dudes and the dudettes, and totally lets people know (in a fun, cute way) that wearing fur is not fashionable, cool, or hip. 'Cause come on—if anyone knows about being fashionable, cool, and hip, it's our besties, the peta2 Street Team, as well as all the peeps who care about animals and check this site out, comment, and get active for animals (aka YOU!).
To get this tank, all you have to do is leave a comment below telling us what your fave peta2 anti-fur print ad is—and your T-shirt size.
Here's my fave—what's yours?
Good luck!*
*The winner will be chosen at random from submitted animal-friendly comments in which the commenters tell us what their favorite peta2 anti-fur print ad is. Entries must be received by August 28, 2012. The winner will be chosen at random and notified on August 30, 2012.
Heads up! By commenting here, you're acknowledging that you've read and you agree to our contest terms and conditions and our privacy policy, and you're also agreeing to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal info in accordance with those policies as well as to receiving e-mails from us.

I like the ad "Gentlemen Prefer fur-free Blondes"!(: But my advice is that in order to impact more people, PETA should make one of this for each hair color! The reason that this ad "resonates" to the eye is because it is more personal, it mentions a feature about a person that not everyone else has, so it attracts the target audience in a way that no other ad could. Every lady in this world likes to feel special, and possess something that not everybody else has. (:

I love the whole Ink, Not Mink campaign, especially Chester Bennington, Ami James, Hannah Teter, Tara Dakides, Amar'e Stoudemire, Chris "The Birdman" Andersen, and Terrell Suggs, because they're showing some serious muscle behind their talk, and hopefully getting to macho-ish fur-buyers and yanking their brains to think about their buying choices. My favorite is Chad Ochocinco's ad…the guy's got it all. How can you say no to that bod. 😉

A really good one is Gabe Saporta A.D. It said don't let your honey wear a bunny "no fur" i loved it, it was cute and to the point and very colorful. It was hard to pick though their is alot of good anti fur ads like Steve Aoki. But my favorite favorite favorite was the fur is worn by beautiful animals and ugly people. Ana Wintour keeping cruelty in vouge. It was very funny and very true….Best ever!!!!

I started being vegan what 3 or 4 years ago, it was the best decision of my life. Before that i was a vegetarian for 2 years and then i was really grossed out by milk eggs etc. I feel more energetic, my digestive system doesn't always feel like im going to die, and the food i eat doesn't make me feel gross after im done. I feel good about what i eat. Their are so many choices it was so easy. One of my favorites is biscuits and gravy. It's so easy to make and it takes 30 minutes and that's only because of the biscuits. I love my animal buddies and when i seen my first peta video 6 years ago i was stunned. It broke my heart watching the videos on all of the in humane things they do to animals. I never really thought about where my food came from but after that i read all of the labels!!!!

Ink, Not Mink !
Because not only is it WRONG to wear fur, but it's also great to promote individualism and open mindedness for today's generation.
If you wouldn't wear your dog, don't wear fur !
Because that should honestly reach out to those who have companion animals, which most people do.
The video where they are furring live dogs in China made my blood boil.
It would do so to any reasonable, non-psychotic human being.

If I am to win one of your "F**k Fur" Tank Tops, I am a size X-Small. I hope that I will be given the chance to win, I am highly into the progress of animal protection and I am doing what I am able to do one step at a time. I have even began a website to help encourage animal protection. I have not been able to finalize my website for others to view just yet though, but I hope to get it out there soon and I hope I can make an impact on people just as much as you (peta2) does.

SCRAPS investigating illegal kennel
SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. - A north Spokane County dog owner is facing allegations of operating an illegal kennel.
Animal control officers spent Friday at a home on Tallman Road, where they found 30 dogs.
SCRAPS executed a search warrant at the home Friday morning after it received a complaint.
In Spokane County you have to have a licenses to have more than four animals. The owners in the case do not have that license.
Once on the property, Nancy Hill, executive director of SCRAPS says they discovered the dogs did not have sufficient shelter, food or water.
Hill says the owners are cooperating, giving up 10 of the dogs, four horses, three sheep, a cow and a goat.
Hill says the owner is short on resources and overwhelmed and unable to provide for all the animals.
"Some of the dogs were thin, most dogs were in o.k. condition, but again not comfortable for them with the inappropriate shelter, especially with these cold mornings," Hill said.
She also says the owners now have a timeline to either reduce the number of dogs on the property to just 4, or get a commercial kennel license.
SCRAPS will be back next week to check in.
Hill says they will wait for the investigation to be complete before they decide if the owner will face any charges.
As for the dogs taken off the property, once they are checked out by a vet they will be available for adoption.
