In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, officials of the state laboratories at Ithaca, to whom the head of a valuable bulldog belonging to R.D. Ramstack of Olean, was submitted for examination, reported that the dog did have rabies. The dog bit George Thornbury, a milkman, and little Helen Cameron, before it was killed several days previously. This was the fourth rabid dog known to have been at large recently in Olean. Nearly 70 dogs had been put to death since the beginning of the quarantine enforcement. The parents of the little Cameron girl took her to New York for treatment at the Pasteur Institute. Mr. Thornbury and the little son of Charles Weldon of North Olean, who was bitten in the face by the family pet, were receiving the Pasteur treatment, administered by local physicians and as yet had exhibited no symptoms of hydrophobia.
The ladies of the Twentieth Century Club in Clymer were constantly enjoying some social event, quite forgetful of the husbands who were always left at home – but on Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. C. Abbott remembered the husbands in a way all men enjoyed, by inviting them to partake of a bounteous dinner. Guests spoke in the highest praise of the delicious six-course dinner. The dining room was elaborately decorated with flags and potted plants. The tables were resplendent with red and white carnations and red and white candles. The dainty place cards bore pictures of George Washington and appropriate quotations.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, the C. Ray Smith Marionette Company of Los Angeles, Calif., came to Jamestown to appear in "The Pied Piper of Hamelin and the Continental Revue" Friday at the Jefferson Junior High School, under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher Association. The Pied Piper proved excellent puppet material, one of those happy combinations of entertainment that appealed equally to the children at the afternoon performances and the adults in the evening. The evening cast required more than 100 sculptured puppets, representing a cast of marionette movie stars which had made this company famous. It was perhaps one of the finest marionette companies ever to appear here.
An aged Westfield pedestrian was struck and killed by a car while walking near his home. J.C. Taylor, 63, died in Jamestown General Hospital at 7:30 a.m. this day, 12 hours after being admitted with head injuries received the previous evening near his home, where he was struck by an automobile driven by Richard Elwell, 29, of Salamanca. According to state police, Taylor was walking along the road in the same direction as moving traffic. Authorities who investigated the fatality, reported Elwell, who was driving about 30 miles per hour, attempted to avoid hitting the pedestrian, who was struck by the right rear fender of the car. Following an investigation, Elwell was released. Taylor, who resided on the main road about a mile and a half west of the village, left no near relatives.
50 Years Ago
In 1963, it was just plain ridiculous! Chautauqua County found itself practically frozen solid again on this morning as the mercury for the second day in a row plunged to spectacular lows which ranged from 40 below zero in Blockville to a comparative balmy reading of 13 below in Falconer. The official reading in Jamestown was 20 degrees below zero, for the coldest weather of an already overlong and irritating winter. It was noticeably warmer in the 49th state of Alaska with Juneau, for example, basking in 39 degrees. With spring just 22 days away, the weather man promised only slight relief for this day and tomorrow with the mercury expected to climb bravely up to the 20 degree mark
The girl next door might well be "Miss Jamestown of 1963" or even "Miss America," Jamestown Junior Chamber of Commerce officials said as they started their search for the city's most beautiful and talented girl. This girl was being sought for the "Miss Jamestown Pageant" conducted annually by the Jaycees and scheduled for May 27. The winner would receive a scholarship and other awards and would represent Jamestown in the Miss New York State Pageant at Kingston in July. The winner of the state pageant would capture a host of prizes including a $1,000 Pepsi-Cola scholarship and would go on to compete in the Miss America pageant at Atlantic City in September.
25 Years Ago
In 1988, New York Gov. Hugh Carey proposed a state budget of $11.97 billion 10 years ago for the 1978-79 fiscal budget – and it passed. The fact was the budget that year was 40 times greater than the $306.6 million budget 50 years before, in 1928-29. New York's budget had been growing ever since. And beginning in April of this year, barring any complications from the state Legislature, New York would operate on a $28.42 billion spending plan – that was 92 times larger than the one in 1928 and nearly 2 times greater than the one 10 years ago.
Longer days, a warmer sun and singing birds heralded the approach of spring and also triggered a reaction among the area's maple syrup producers. It was expected soon to be time for the sap in the sugar maples to begin the journey from the roots to the branches, with part of it intercepted en route and converted to maple syrup. Such had already been done in limited quantities at two sugar bushes checked. Dexter DeGolier of the Hopper Road, Forestville, made about 50 gallons of "real good quality" syrup during an early warm spell, his wife reported. Mrs. Lewis C. Rice of Ellington, said their little sugar bush produced about a dozen gallons during the recent warm spell that saw much of the snow disappear.

May 4, 2009 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: H1N1 Influenza Virus
SUBJECT 2: Great Value Cereals-Design Change
SUBJECT 3: MOWINS Speed
SUBJECT 4: MOWINS Bug Fixes
SUBJECT 5: MOWINS Enhancements
SUBJECT 6: WIC-24 May Invoices
- H1N1 Influenza Virus: We have received several calls from local WIC agencies on H1N1 influenza (known as swine flu). The Department of Health and Senior Services is posting information daily on the H1N1 influenza virus . Based on information being issued by the Department, we have no evidence at this time that there is any extraordinary flu activity in Missouri that is adversely affecting local agency WIC operations.
WIC clinics should continue to function as they do during the regular influenza season following good hygiene practices. You can stay healthy by: covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough and washing your hands frequently with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand cleaner. There is information available in multiple languages which can be downloaded. Questions, answers and other updates are also available. Local WIC providers are encouraged to check this web page for the most current information on H1N1 influenza.
If you get questions from breastfeeding mothers about continuing to breastfeed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has prepared some questions and answers regarding continuing to breastfeed. This can be found at CDC H1N1 Flu | Novel H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) and Feeding your Baby: What Parents Should Know http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/infantfeeding.htm.
Should the situation change and new recommendations be made by the Department, the State WIC Office will notify local WIC agencies immediately. We remind local agencies that the State WIC Office must approve mailing of checks and changes in clinic hours. If you have any questions, please contact your TA staff.
- Great Value Cereals - Design Change: Wal-Mart has changed the design of their Great Value cereal boxes. Some of WIC participants will begin seeing cereals with the new design at WIC vendors during the month of May, 2009. According to Wal-Mart, the transition from the old design to the new design will be completed by the end of July 2009. The ingredient and nutrient content will remain the same. Please share this information and the attached sheet with your staff and participants. If you have any questions, please contact Takako Tagami at email@example.com.
- MOWINS Speed: We'd like to give you an update on the speed of MOWINS. On Monday, April 27, we implemented MOWINS release 1.36.4. One of the improvements in this release was to improve the performance of MOWINS and speed it up. If you are now on MOWINS, you should have noticed an increase in speed. Another speed improvement is in release 1.38, which you should receive later in May. A third release with a speed improvement will be sent later this year. We have done two time studies in one local agency. State WIC staff came to the agency and timed all steps in a certification. One was before release 1.36.4 and one was after. A moderate increase in speed was noted. We will do additional time studies at local agencies in the near future. The reason we're doing these time studies is determine an average or expected time local agency staff can expect when doing specific actions in MOWINS.
Please understand that MOWINS will never be as fast as HANDS. MOWINS has a graphical User Interface (GUI), meaning it has many features, such as drop down menus, which make it easier for the user. Each time the user completes an action in MOWINS (such as opening a participant folder) data is transmitted to and from the server in Jefferson City. Since much more data is transmitted, as compared to HANDS, it takes longer for the data to arrive. However, we will continue to do what we can to make MOWINS as fast as possible. There is much information that local agency staff need to communicate to participants during certifications, recertifications and check pick-ups. We suggest you make use of the time while waiting for the system to provide this information to participants.
If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- MOWINS Bug Fixes: We want to give you an update on the status of bug fixes in MOWINS. The following are the highlights of changes you will receive in release 1.38, which you should receive later in May.
Calendar Appointments Disappearing – The problems that have been occurring with appointments disappearing from the MOWINS calendars should be resolved.
Voter Registration – In Demographics tab/additional info 2, the question 'register to vote' will now be highlighted and required to be answered for infants and children. The answer will be the information from the authorized representative of the infant of child. We will provide more information on this change as we get closer to implementing it.
425 Risk Factor in VENA – In the VENA tab, the 425 risk factor can now be assigned correctly. The problem was occurring when the previous certification had a 425 risk factor on it and in the current certification attempt; the 425 would automatically appear and then would not show as being assigned to the current certification attempt.
If you have questions, contact the WIC Help Desk at 800-554-2544.
- MOWINS Enhancements: We will soon develop a form that will be posted on the Department's web site that will allow state and local agency staff to enter suggestions for enhancements to MOWINS. We'll let you know later when it will be ready and will provide instructions on how to use it. Once we have received the suggestions we will analyze them and determine the priority for making these enhancements.
If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- WIC-24 May Invoices: WIC-24 Invoices for May 2009, or earlier, submitted for payment in the month of June, must be submitted through the Online WIC Invoicing Application by close of business Friday, June 5, 2009. Any invoices submitted after that date will be held and paid in July 2009. This change in schedule complies with State Fiscal Year 2009 payment processing deadlines. If you have questions please contact Laura Weiler at: firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-7901.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Well organised Big City MarathonIn full: Have done Bristol Half every year since 2003 except 2011 and being local, the cost isn't too bad when no travelling/ hotels are required. That said, the club discount brings it down to about £22.00, which for a large half, with all the organisation required, is good value.Thought everythinbg went well on the day, the race pack turned up in good time (not too early to lose or too late to panic)Route is about as flat as it can be in Bristol, without completely blocking off the City.Waves worked well and I found no congestion, starting from back of the red section, plenty of water (didn't take the gels as have not used that make before and did not want to experiment with them in a race!)I will be back next yearDate of review: September 20, 2013
In short: Great 20 mile race - hats off to SDRCIn full: My fourth (and slowest) San Dom 20. Not in marathon training, so "just" did it to do a 20 mile race.A challenging course through the now much greener, historic Taff Valley - that old stone hump backed bridge over the the river always catches me out.Well organised, with plenty of enthusiastic marshalls and water ststaions.Good idea to have the early starters - may have to join them next year!Date of review: March 27, 2012
In short: Well organised mass participation raceIn full: For such a large event very little goes wrong.My 6th Reading half now and it is difficult to find fault without seeming to be knit picking. Would have liked to have had the option of a water bottle at 3rd station with a cap and for the first time a lot of people seemed to stop just after crossing the line. Also seemed to be a lot of I-plodders oblivious to faster runners trying to get past.Liked the 5k timing mats (new this year)Date of review: March 26, 2010
In short: Great eventIn full: Well done Bitton Road Runners on another winner. Difficult to add to what has been said already.Preferred the new course to last year Date of review: November 12, 2009
In short: Excellent raceIn full: Third time I've done this one and love it. Closed roads, chip timing, medal and a "Buff" (haven't worked out how to wear it yet)It is a very tough course so keep something back or practice for the hills. Not sure how I was nearly 7 mins quicker than last year.Will be back next yearDate of review: April 30, 2009
In short: what a great race.Date of review: March 16, 2009
In short: This is THE race of the yearIn full: Difficult to add to what has been said already. Not just a race but an event that cannot fail to make you think at the start with the 2 minuite silence, laugh at others as they slip and slide just before you do the same, gasp at the hills, curse that heavy muddy field, grimace at the water feature and ache and feel and inner self satisfaction for days after.Thank you Bitton Road RunnersDate of review: November 11, 2008
In short: Good course, good cause.In full: First time that I have done this course - so much better than the ever increasing circles around the Civic centre.If they can get runners to line up according to expected finishing time it would get a higher rating from me. I got tripped and collided with a bollard at the side of the cricket ground.Agree with comments about km markers and water. The T-shirts are in loud colours to get them noticed and hopefully talked about.Hard for me to say as a Newport boy but a very good race, Cardiff.Date of review: September 11, 2008
In short: ToughIn full: Well organised and marshalled race by Hogweed Trotters. If you can set a PB here you will blitz it in a flat race. Great value rolls and cakes at the end to look forward to as you pound those hills on the edge of the Cotswold escarpmentDate of review: April 1, 2008
In short: a great event - but keep quiet about it or it will fill up too soonIn full: Park and ride worked very well. Only comment is a second anouncement at the back of the field about the delayed start should have been made as I only heard it because I was near the front looking for club mates. A great cousre, well marshalled and way-marked - I am just wondering why I did Bath half a few years ago instead of this one.Hope that the guy who collapsed makes a speedy and full recoveryDate of review: March 17, 2008

Topic: [Ruby/XSLT] Problem processing XSLT
Hi everyone,
I have a problem using ruby/xslt. When i execute this code :
class Testxslt

require 'xml/xslt'
def initialize
xslt = XML::XSLT.new()
xslt.xml = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/test.html"
xslt.xsl = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/test.xsl"
out = xslt.serve()

ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25) [i686-darwin8.8.1]
Abort trap
I tried this on very basics files just to test it(I checked that it works with other xslt processor and it does).
So if somebody have some hints they would be welcome. Or if you know a better way to process xslt files with ruby just let me know.

Didn't know where to put this so anyway.....
Friend gave me an almost new Blackberry 8830 World Edition phone. I have no use for it on a global basis but wondered if I can activate it through the wife's At&t family plan for the monthly line fee and the data plan and have it work here.
It has a Verizon logo on the phone and I've heard there are global issues in regard to frequencies and sim cards but all I want is basic functionality here in the states; phone, browser, etc.
Will those functions work on at&t plan or does the service have to come from Verizon?
If you have any feedback please let me know.

Psyllium is a true dietary fiber, even though it is classified by some as a laxative or mucilaginous fiber, and is a convenient way to increase intake of dietary fiber because of its high mucilage content. This bulking agent swells considerably when added to liquid, which can help to support healthy gastrointestinal transit time. This bulking action and healthy transit time can play an important role in maintaining healthy gastrointestinal function.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, vigorously mix 1-2 level tablespoons into at least 12 oz. of water or juice and consume immediately. Be sure to drink plenty of additional fluids throughout the day. Start with smaller amounts and gradually increase over several weeks. Consider taking this product in combination with NOW Gr8-Dophilus, Triphala and Detox Support.

Made me regular
without grossing anyone out, I do want to say that I have been very constipated since I'm pregnant and my bowel movements have been very small, frequent and greasy/sticky. This stuff quickly got me cleaned out and now I'm having nice clean, regular bowel movements that pass through me effortlessly. I'm sorry to be descriptive about it, but I figure I'm not the only one who buys fiber to clean out their digestive track, and that it would be helpful for others to know how this stuff works works. I feel much better. The only slightly weird thing is that my stool seems almost fluffy in the toilet now. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It comes out very clean, but I'm just used to having heavy/dense stools. Anyway, I will keep using this stuff forever.
Verified Purchase
I have been using this product for many years but on the last order, the label is different. It might be that Now foods have changed their label. Unfortunately, the Whole Psyllium is has a very bad smell in it. I do not think it is fresh and could not use it. Very disappointed with this

South Invite draws state's top programs
Some of Colorado's top high school tennis players will be in action this week at the annual Pueblo South Invitational boys tournament.
Action gets underway at 9 a.m. Friday. Championship finals are slated for 1 p.m. Saturday at the City Park tennis complex.
The opening day play and follow-up rounds will be divided between two sites. All singles and No. 1 and No. 2 doubles matches will be held on the City Park courts. The No. 3 and No. 4 doubles (except the championship finals) are scheduled at the Centennial High School courts.
The tournament again will showcase perennial prep powerhouses Cherry Creek and Cheyenne Mountain high schools. Cherry Creek is the state's all-time tennis kingpin with 38 team titles under its belt, including the past two 5A crowns. Cheyenne Mountain has won 16 titles overall and is the three-time 4A champion.
This year's field has teams from 14 schools (Cherry Creek and Cheyenne Mountain will enter two teams) from across the state. Cherry Creek claimed last year's title and Cheyenne Mountain was second.
Pueblo teams are led by Central. The Wildcats have the Acala brothers, Steve and Dante, who reached the semifinals and wound up with fourth-place finishes in last year's tourney. Steve Acala returns at No. 1 singles and Dante is back at No. 3 singles. The Cats' returning No. 2 singles player, Dakota Burns, was a consolation champ in 2012.

The USB 3.0 promoter group has announced availability of the USB On-The-Go (OTG) 3.0 and Embedded Host supplement to the USB 3.0 specification. The USB 3.0 OTG spec enables portable SuperSpeed USB devices to communicate among themselves when a PC is not present.
The supplement ensures that mobile devices such as phones or cameras are able to use a SuperSpeed USB link in both USB host and USB peripheral roles through a single receptacle. OTG and Embedded Host Devices requiring fast synchronization or streaming of rich data will benefit from this feature.
The USB OTG 3.0 and Embedded Host supplement offers power saving features equivalent to those available in USB OTG 2.0, enabling the adoption of SuperSpeed USB in mobile devices. Additionally, USB OTG 3.0 provides backward compatibility with USB OTG 2.0.
"The USB 3.0 promoter group continues to optimize its specifications in order to meet the evolving requirements of the industry. The availability of the USB On-The-Go 3.0 and Embedded Host supplement addresses the industry's need to transfer rich data using fast synch-n-go mobile devices," said Brad Saunders, the chairman of USB 3.0 promoter group.
The USB 3.0 Promoter Group has transitioned the supplement's management to the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the managing body of USB specifications.

You may have heard or read today that there was a rash of shootings in Chicago over the weekend, and at least seven people were killed (HERE).
But you probably have not heard something Chicago Police spokesman Adam Collins SAID this morning:
While we�ve had fewer murders to date this year than any year since the mid-1960s, there�s more work to be done and we won�t rest until everyone in Chicago enjoys the same sense of safety.
Did you get that? Fewer murders to date this year than any year since the mid-1960s.
How can that be? How ...

The guys at DrivelineBaseball were kind enough to forward this to me on Kazmir.
http://dynamicsportstraining.com/blog/l ... ott-kazmir
Date of post is mid February chronicling work Kazmir put in prior to Indians signing him.
Very interesting.
Initial velocity drop attributed to command issues. He was all over the place, told to slow things down, velocity drops as result, command doesn't come back with less velocity and he's effed in the ear.
Driveline says pro orgs awful at developing velocity but Kazmir finds these DST guys and a tutor who helps put him back together over the course of a couple years.
His velocity was 94-95 prior to camp so the 95-96 today is not an aberration and the DST guys say his command has never been better. Not to mention wipeout slider is on the precipice of being fully back and he now throws an up and down curve ball and a bit of a splittish kind of thing.
Just figured I'd send it along.

Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides delivered remarks on "A Unified Security Budget for the United States" at the Center for American Progress on August 31, 2011. Deputy Secretary Nides said:
"As Deputy Secretary of State, I could be focused on many issues and in many places. But few things are as important to me than fighting for the resources that our diplomats and development experts need to enhance our national security and our economic security. Few things are more important than making the case for security, economic, and humanitarian assistance. And few things are more important than making sure that Washington appropriates funding in a rational way.
"Beginning in 2007, the Department of State and USAID's budgets dramatically increased, and credit starts with Secretary Condoleezza Rice. Secretary Clinton picked up where she left off and pushed forward strong budgets for the State Department and USAID. We made great strides in getting additional resources to elevate diplomacy and development alongside our military. As the three pillars of our national security, we added Foreign Service officers and civil servants. We invested in programs to combat hunger, illness, and poverty, and we increased our diplomatic presence in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
"The reality is that State and USAID and the military are working more closely together in places around the world than ever in our history. I saw it when I was in travel to Iraq and Pakistan and early this summer in Afghanistan. You can see it when our diplomats and development officers are working hand in glove with the military to respond to humanitarian crises in Japan and Haiti. Around the world, you will find representatives from across the interagency and the security establishment working together on joint missions on behalf of the country. They don't think about which subcommittee funds them or what respective budget allocations are. They really just don't care. All they know is that they work together with a common purpose and often in dangerous and deadly environments. We need a budget that reflects this reality.
"But, as everyone knows, we're facing the process of major budget cuts. These cuts could be the most significant we have had in two decades, and they could have a devastating impact on the work that we do. Let me put our situation in clear and stark terms for you.
"In the Fiscal 2011 budget, which has now been finished, State and USAID took a massive hit, a 13.6 percent cut from what the Administration believed we needed in 2011. And although it's unclear what's going to happen in 2012, we could face more catastrophic cuts, which I'll get to in a minute.
"Secretary Clinton has made the case that State and USAID are essential to our national security, and ought to be considered part of a national security budget, which Larry and Miriam recommended in their paper. Secretary Clinton and key allies -- Secretary Clinton has very -- several key allies in making the argument -- current, former Defense secretaries, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and numerous senior military officials. Now, for the first time as part of the debt ceiling legislation that just passed, State and USAID funding are included in a national security budget alongside spending for defense, intelligence, homeland security, the veterans programs, and military construction. That is the good news.
"But there is a real risk that Congress could decide to shield defense spending and other categories of spending by cutting everything else, and that, my friends, is the bad news. The House Foreign Affairs Committee already approved the State Department budget that included substantial cuts as well as potentially debilitating restrictions on how we can spend our money. The House Appropriations Subcommittee approved a bill that provides just $36.9 billion of our core budget, which is an 18 percent cut. The House did accept the President's proposal for the Overseas Contingency Operations Account, or what you might have heard of called OCO, to pay for the temporary and extraordinary costs in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This is the same approach that DOD takes. By isolating the extraordinary costs for these three countries, OCO has the effect of showing that the core budget for State and USAID, the core budget which manages our day-to-day operations, is relatively flat from 2010 to 2012.
"As we increase the cost in these three countries around $4 billion for State and USAID, the Defense Department's OCO spending is coming down by $45 billion. So to repeat: As our cost of our OCO is going up by $4 billion in 2012 for our operations in Iraq, the DOD's cost is going down by $45 billion.
"Now, in the business world, they call that leveraging an investment, investing $4 to save $45. Although the OCO account is helpful -- it is helpful -- we cannot just fund our efforts in the frontline states and gut our base budget for everything else we do in the world. So the question is: What do we do about it?
"We at State and USAID are not trying to rob the Pentagon to pay ourselves. I am not here today to talk about cutting military spending. Our goal is to match our spending on diplomacy and development and the military with our national security challenges. I've said this until I am blue in my face and I'll repeat it again: The State Department and USAID make up about one percent of the federal budget. Deep and disproportionate cuts in the State and USAID won't do anything or make any sense if our goal is to enhance our national security.
"We know that resources are necessary to advance our national security interests and prosperity around the world, and we are at risk of not getting them. This is no time to retreat from the world, because as everyone knows, it is a critical moment in our foreign policy. We have a chance to capitalize on opportunities in the Middle East and to be part of an historic pivot point in the Arab world. We have the chance to invest in programs to curb and even prevent humanitarian crises. We need the resources to sustain our diplomatic presence and effectiveness in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
"And we need the resources to advance our economic agenda as well. Our economic officers and our ambassadors work to open markets abroad and create jobs at home. They facilitate trade and travel and tourism. This is especially important at this moment as our economy recovers from a very long recession.
"The reality is that if we don't seize these opportunities, someone else will. As Secretary Clinton has said, other countries will promote their own models and serve their own best interests. They will create jobs elsewhere rather than in the United States. They will claim the mantle of global leadership. We should not allow this to happen.
"We recognize as well as everyone else that we get value from every dollar spent. We have to be able to justify each dollar we spend every day, and we have to be fixated on improving what I like to refer as our rate of return. That is why Secretary Clinton, with Rich, undertook the QDDR, the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review, which is the first of its kind top-to-bottom review of how the State Department works and how it doesn't work and how we can operate more effectively and efficiently in the 21st century. To her credit, most organizations wait until a crisis breaks out to undertake such an initiative. Secretary Clinton started the QDDR when things were going pretty well.
"With Secretary Clinton's leadership, we're undertaking more public-private partnerships with NGOs and, yes, with the business community as well. Most importantly, in this difficult budget climate, we have to make our case to win it. Humanitarian security and economic assistant in tough times and in not so tough times are often the first buckets of spending to get thrown out the window. I understand that most Americans think that the foreign assistance makes up 25 percent of our budget, even though, as I said, it's only about 1 percent. The positive side, however, is that when asked how much we ought to be spending on foreign assistance, people say between 10 and 15 percent, which I'll take.
"Finally, we're not making this case alone, as Larry pointed out. There is bipartisan support for what we do. Senator Lindsey Graham understands as well as anyone the importance of State and USAID's work for our national security. General Dave Petraeus, our new CIA director, Admiral Mullen, and Leon Panetta understand the role of diplomacy and development in enhancing our national security. Bill Gates, Bono, and the former Senate majority leader Bill Frist, who just returned from the Horn of Africa with Jill Biden, all understand our mission. NGOs, and just as importantly, the business community also understands that diplomacy and development support are national security. They understand that our national security and economic security and our leadership role in the world are at stake if these cuts are too dramatic.
"We recognize the threat that the deficit and the long-term debt poses to our national security, but there is a smart and balanced approach to deficit reduction. When we don't need to do is hammer at a bipartisan program that over time have created safer, more stable, and quite frankly, a more prosperous world."
You can read a transcript of Deputy Secretary Nides' remarks here.
Maureen in Massachusetts writes:
Secretary Nides:
Thank you, another poignant article. I'm from the school of thought that aligns State/USAID funding alongside an overall National Security budget. Each individual component is essential to achieve stability at home and abroad.
We are one. Our leadership role in the global community has to be about the most bipartisan subject to date and Congress should not skimp. This is about securing our future place in the world and it is not free. In essence, diplomacy and development lays the foundation for our children's future. "Smart Power" is careful spending and you have made the case well.
Harold in Nevada writes:
Bottom line: national security goals can not fit our budget. If this is the case, we may need to quite possibly take a hard look at updating our goals to fit the hard reality. The realm of fiscal policy reform.

I was at Citi for an interview today so I took a pic of the stairs from the street level... looks like the same tacky paint as the field level at Shea. Also, every staircase that I saw was orange, no signs of any blue yet.
I would've gotten a pic of the bullpens, but there's nothing really to see. The area's just a bunch of dirt right now.

I have been to:
Citi Field, Shea, NYS, RYS, PNC, Fenway, AT&T, CBP, Rangers Ballpark, Minute Maid Park, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, PETCO Park, Coors, Chase Field, Turner, Miami, OP@CY, U.S.F., Comerica, Nationals Park, GABP, Progressive, Trop, Miller, Oakland-A C., Dolphin, RFK, Olympic Stadium, Metrodome
The McCartney CD comes out tomorrow. Beast Buy has an "exclusive" where, in addition to the 2 audio CDs and 1 DVD, you get an additional DVD and "an expanded booklet with high-quality exclusive photos." According to Beast Buy, the bonus DVD includes the complete David Letterman (Ed Sullivan Theater) marquee performance (seven songs), personal footage of Paul and crew back stage, en route to Citi Field, exclusive footage of Paul performing the Beatles "I'm Down" commemorating the 1965 Historic Shea Stadium Concert, and Flip camera photos taken by fans in and around the stadium surrounding the concert. Price for the whole kit and kaboodle is $19.99.
As much as I'm loathe to promote Beast Buy, I think the "exclusive" package is a good deal.
Archie Bunker: All I can tell you, Edith, is I'm surprised at you! Dragging me off to a moving picture like that! It was absolutely disgusting!
Edith Bunker: Well, I'm sorry, Archie, how was I to know? I thought it was a religious picture, "Cardinal Knowledge!"
Can't win. People complained ALL YEAR how bad the staircases look. I went to A LOT of games and heard that comment from friends or just overhearing other fans. I personally didn't mind all that much but could see what they meant. It felt incomplete. Now that they're putting some team colors on there, it's tacky. That's what some people have been saying all along! About staircases, especially with seats. The Wilpons are crazy and do some stupid things, no doubt. But fans give them crap for no reason fairly often. This new park represents that. Not that all complaints aren't accurate they are. But some aren't. And the staircases being orange is one thing. They're just listening to surveys and feedback. So the fans created this.
Just as I imagined. Tacky, ugly, doesn't fit with the overall design of Citi Field. And this is what so many of you guys were crying for. What's next - alternating orange and blue stairs? Hell let's just all perm our hair, wear acid washed jean jackets, and watch Top Gun on the big screen and call it a day.
That looks terrible, as expected.
But in all seriousness, this is the first coat, things might look a lot better when everything is finished. I wish they could put up some team murals or pictures in the stairwells, that would be a lot cooler than just some team colored paint.
The Wilpons really just don't get it. Its so frustrating to watch and endure.
The NY Mets - We do have a pretty good history!
World Champions 1969 & 1986
NL Champions 1969, 1973, 1986, 2000
NL East Champions 1969, 1973, 1986, 1988, 2006
NL Wild Card Winner 1999 & 2000
Quest to see them all: The Trop, Sun Life, Metrodome, Fenway, The Ted, Camden Yards, The Vet, Citizens Bank, New Yankee, Minute Maid, SkyDome, Nats Park, The Jake, PNC, Old Yankee, Shea, Comerica, Great American
I have a small amount paid towards my balance already, from some of my StubHub sales this past season going directly into my account. Unlike pre-paid playoff amounts from past years, I can apply it to any type of plan without risk of forfeiture, so that's good.
He also told me the "early Saturday/Sunday" for FST's is likely being allowed in 3 to 3 1/2 hours early, he wasn't sure yet.
I also asked about changes in Citi itself, re: satellite Shake Shacks, more drafts, etc. but he told me he had no idea about any of that, except of course the Club changes we already know about.
Lastly, he expected partials info to be out in a week or so.
That's it for now, I told him I'd keep in touch, lol.
Problem with the surveys and feedback is the majority of fans don't care enough about how the staircases look or whether or not Dwight Gooden's picture is slapped on the wall. Those surveys and feedback they get are from people who will make the Wilpon's life a living hell. Most fans are not filling out surveys. And complaining about obstructed views is one thing, but the color of a staircase is absolutely ridiculous.
The same people who complain about the staircases are probably the ones who spend all nine innings walking around the park with a magnifying glass looking for something to complain about. (in between waiting on line for an hour to get that deliciously overpriced and highly overrated food) Watch the game!
So, something like the Delta Club, that was half empty all year... the Mets only lower the prices there by about $5 per game?
What are they smoking?
I'd asked my rep if they were goign to raise the seats in the 1st row of the Promenade Reserved and got the following reply
"I do understand your concern about the 1st Row in the Promenade Reserved. Unfortunately the space does not allow us to raise it up there because it would then affect Row 2"
On the tribute to 1969 nite, my wife and I sat in section 133 first row and the face was $84 because it was a 'gold' game. The price is the same in 2010. IMHO, not worth the price. Glorified bleacher seats.
On 5/27, I took my dad to a value game and since he is disabled, we sat in section 19 row 1 in Delta Club for $105. Those seats this year are reduced to $102.(big deal) Last year, to sit in the first row for a value game if you were not a DAP, the cost was $295. This year it was reduced to $250.
(I am not sure where the $460 platinum seats are for every game that are on the price lists, unless it is just over a few sections starting in section 16. Strange that the price is the same for value thru platinum !)
IMHO, the DAP seats in the front row are worth the price.
I took my daughter to build a bear night and sat in Bridge terrace. The face for a gold game was $54 and that is unchanged this season. IMHO, not worth the price unless you buy these seats at a huge discount and you are not forced to purchase $25 of Mets money (that is extortion)
Took my mom, wife and daughter to Mother's day and sat in box next to visiting dugout (also sat there in September for a value game). These are considered 'gold' seats but were priced for a DAP and their guests at $75 for value. These are now $60 for value ! IMHO, the best seats in the park for the money, but you need to accompany a DAP to sit in them.
If the Mets averaged 38,000 tickets sold last season, I can't imagine them averaging more than 33,000 this season at these prices. Still decent attendance, but still a hit of 400,000 tickets.
Up in Da Bronx, the place will be packed to the rafters with the exception of those legends disasters.
That looks horrible. It looks like the field level at Shea. Its very frustrating when you look at that and then go to the Target Field page and see how first class everything looks with that that stadium.
I give up!!!

New Nikon D3, D300, and D700 "Camera" v3 beta profilesMadManChan2000 Jan 20, 2011 9:14 AM
Hi everyone,
I have posted a zip file containing updated "Camera" color profiles (Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, etc.) for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700. The zip file contains a copy of the readme, but I'll post it here for convenience, too:
For lack of a better name, I am calling these "v3" beta profiles.
These updated Camera v3 beta profiles for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700 are designed to reduce banding and highlight color artifacts. They also address the "too bright" tone curve issues with the previous "v2" version of the D3 and D700 profiles.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using these v3 beta profiles, if you wish to match the default tonality of Nikon's Picture Controls (e.g., match View NX / Capture NX), you must set the Exposure slider in Camera Raw / Lightroom to -0.5.
Of course, feel free to adjust Exposure to make your image brighter or darker as you like. But in terms of matching Nikon's default tonality, you must set the Exposure slider to -0.5, or the default will be too bright.
For workflow convenience, you can use presets in Camera Raw / Lightroom to take care of both (e.g., simultaneously set the profile to "Camera Standard" and set Exposure to -0.5).
If you are on Mac OS X, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
If you are on Windows XP, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
If you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
Note that the above path on Windows Vista and Windows 7 may be hidden by default. Check your folder settings.
The profiles are currently in beta status. Please provide feedback via the online Adobe user-to-user forums here:
Thank you!

After closely following Jamaican Prime Minister Golding's public statements and policy positions for almost two years as the Desk Officer for Jamaica at the U.S. Department of State, I looked forward to finally seeing him in person. Prime Minister Golding came to Washington, D.C., last week to speak with major international financial institutions and to give a keynote address at the International Forum on Caribbean Investment and Development.
On June 6, I had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Golding during his bilateral meeting with Secretary Clinton. I arrived at the meeting room with the senior members of the U.S. delegation early so we could welcome the Jamaican delegation when they arrived. There was just enough time to peek inside the room and spot my seat -- the one at the far end of the table marked for the notetaker.
Minutes later, Prime Minister Golding emerged from the elevator, along with Department of State protocol staff, members of the Jamaican delegation, and the ever-present security detail. U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica Pamela Bridgewater, the Prime Minister, and members of his staff exchanged greetings as though they were long-time friends. Ambassador Bridgewater knows Jamaica well after serving there previously in her career, and she is famously gracious and welcoming. She also spoke with Audrey Marks, the sophisticated businesswoman who serves as Jamaica's Ambassador to the United States. The Prime Minister exchanged pleasantries with the U.S. delegation and updated us on the heavy rains that had been pounding Jamaica continuously that week. Secretary Clinton then warmly welcomed the Prime Minister and his delegation.
My intense focus on the discussions, and a healthy dose of adrenaline, made time sprint by. As the Secretary and the Prime Minister discussed recovery assistance to Haiti, I felt how important the welfare of Haiti and its people is to both leaders. The Secretary complimented Jamaica for its improved security landscape, and the two discussed U.S.-Jamaican cooperation on citizen safety. The discussion moved easily to cover a range of issues from energy to economic development, reflecting our broad-based relationship with Jamaica. As one of the largest Caribbean nations, Jamaica is a key partner in addressing our mutual security concerns, including combating drug trafficking and international crime organizations. Trade, tourism, and migration account for much of the solid bilateral relationship with our country, with environmental and energy issues taking a greater role in recent years. Both countries also have close cultural ties that we continue to enhance through cultural and educational exchanges.
The amiable rapport between the Secretary and the Prime Minister reflected our bilateral relations with Jamaica. Both seemed very much at ease and interested in each other's thoughts on our shared challenges. From my conversations with the other members of the U.S. delegation and our Jamaican counterparts, I concluded that both sides walked away from the meeting pleased with our current relationship and optimistic about future collaboration. As I said good bye to the Jamaican Embassy's Deputy Chief of Mission, I knew that we would be working even closer together over the next few weeks on items discussed during the meeting.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
Across the Arab world, LGBTQ communities still struggle to gain social recognition, and individuals still face legal penalties for consensual activities. In Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Iraq, homosexuality is punishable by death. In 2001, 52 men were arrested for being gay in Cairo. And in Syria, Algeria, and the United Arab Emirates, being outed as homosexual means facing years in prison. While activists in some countries, such as Lebanon, have made progress toward greater rights, personal security remains an imperative.
In Armenia, online anonymity could be a luxury of the past if a bill that is currently before the Armenian parliament is passed. The bill would make it illegal for media outlets to publish defamatory content by anonymous or fake sources. Additionally, under this bill, sites that host libelous comments that are posted anonymously or under a pseudonym would be required to remove such content within 12 hours unless an author is identified.
[Accessing] any part of a computer system without right. Cyber-squatting. Cybersex. Computer-related forgery. What do these things have in common? They are all punishable acts under Philippines' Cybercrime Prevention Act.
Since 1990, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has been fighting to make sure when you go online your rights come with you. For the LGBT community, these rights are especially important.
When a group of students from Iowa State University (ISU) contacted us earlier this month about forming an ISU Digital Freedom group, they were facing an unexpected problem: despite their simple goal of fostering a healthy conversation around freedom-enhancing software, the university administration denied them official recognition. The university has since granted the Digital Freedom group the green-light to meet on campus, but under unduly restrictive conditions. These students' story is instructive to students around the country and the world who are concerned about online privacy.

PhD, Claremont Graduate University
I have been associated with the Claremont Graduate University for over two decades - now that's commitment! I came here in the early 1980's as a graduate student, went back to the East Coast for a while, and then happily came back as a faculty member some 12 years ago.
What first attracted me to come to CGU is what still motivates me today. Namely, I have found no other place where graduate-level research and teaching can occur in such an intimate and transdisciplinary manner. The supportive environment of CISAT has allowed me to excel in research, and now direct two research institutes. It has also allowed me to work closely with students in discovering key aspects of e-health and e-governmental systems.
My classes are always quite dynamic, featuring field research, student-led case studies and well as presentations and critiques of leading theories and practices in information systems. I find both the research and learning here to be fast-paced, innovative, and stimulating. Most of all, I appreciate the collaborative culture of the school as such an environment fosters bold thinking about contributions that information systems can make to organizations and society.

I've done thousands of hours of flight instructing and like the personal interaction and teamwork.
But aesthetics, economics (and maybe even selfishness) have almost invariably led me to choose single-seat aircraft for personal ownership. And that's likely to remain the case in the future. Here's why.
First and most obviously, single-seat airplanes just look and fly better.
A Pitts S-2B is a fine airplane–but an S-1 is more proportional and has lighter, more harmonized handling characteristics.
The same is true for the Sukhoi 26/29, or Extra 300s/300.
Sure, those are all highly specialized aerobatic planes. I can't comment on the flying qualities of military planes, but an F-5 looks better than a T-38, an F/A-18C is cooler than a D, and so on.
Single-seaters just look so much more right than their two-headed step-siblings.
On to economics:
A single-seat sport plane typically costs about half as much as a similar airframe with two seats. A good Pitts S-1S costs about $35,000, and a comparable S-2A (with a similar four-cylinder, Lycoming engine) sells for $70,000. An S-2B with six cylinders is even more. A Vans RV-3 with one seat can be had for the low-to-mid 30s. Double that for two-seat RV-6s, 7s, and 8s. Double it again for a four-seat RV-10.
In terms of performance and handling qualities, single-seat planes are usually better because they're lighter. My single-seat RV-3 weighs 800 pounds, for example, and it's powered by a 150-hp engine. It's rate of climb, cruise speed, ceiling, range and fuel economy are as good or better than most two-seat RVs with larger engines because those planes typically weigh at least a couple hundred pounds more–and that's before a passenger straps in.
Insurance in single-seat planes costs less, too, because there's no risk of harming a passenger.
But what about dual instruction? How does anyone get checked out in a single-seat airplane?
Usually, similar two-seat planes are available for this task (Pitts, RV, etc.).
But aviation history is full of examples showing an instructor may not be necessary to have in the cockpit on a first flight. Every World War II-era student pilot flew solo the first time he or she got in a P-51, P-47, P-38, Wildcat, Hellcat, Bearcat, etc. There were no two-seat trainers for those airplanes. Even now, first-time F-22 pilots fly solo from day one. Sure, they get lots of simulator time.
But when was the last time an instructor had to physically intervene when checking you out in a new airplane?
Finally, the selfishness question: Isn't owning a single-seat plane selfish? Especially for a guy like me who has a wife and two kids (one of whom really likes flying).
This is a tough one.
But I rely on the experience of my friend Eddie Ruhl for guidance. Eddie owned two planes, a single-seat Pitts (which he loved and flew as often as possible), and a four-seat Piper Clipper (which had room for his wife and two kids). He decided one plane had to go and, selfless guy that he is, Eddie said goodbye to his beloved Pitts. The result: he flew much less frequently. It turns out Eddie's wife and kids really didn't like flying all that much, and the Clipper sat unused for weeks, sometimes months, at a time. Eddie (and his family) agreed that he sold the wrong plane.
The downside to single-seat planes is that they can make flying a solitary activity–and we all know it's shared experiences that make flying so special.
But I've found a remedy for this in formation flying.
The RV community has been particularly active in teaching this dynamic and demanding art form to civilian-trained pilots like myself. And being in a single-seat plane doesn't seem like a drawback when you've got similar planes and like-minded pilots nearby . . .

The installation of JMyETL is fairly easy. You just need to follow a few simple steps.
First, download JMyETL and extract it. In the extracted folder, find jmyetl.ini configuration file and edit it to adjust the value of
vm.location to your
Make sure that the path correctly points to a jvm.dll file from a Java 32 bit version otherwise you will keep getting a "Error starting Java VM." error. Usually the 32 bit version is located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\directory. If you already have a 64 bit version of JDK, you will also need to download the 32 bit version. The recommended JDK version is 1.6 or above.
The final confirmation file will look something like:
main.class=com.sql9.jmetl.MainFrame classpath.1=*.jar;. splash.image=SplashScreen.bmp vm.location=c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll vmarg.1=-Xms64M vmarg.2=-Xmx512M
Optionally, in jmyetl.ini configuration file you can also set the memory limitation for Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The default values are:
vmarg.1=-Xms64M vmarg.2=-Xmx512M
Now open JmyETL.exe program. The following window will show up.
Choose SourceDB and Targetdb from the dropdown list.
For both fill out the
{port} values and enter
user and
password information in the next two text fields. For example, CUBRID database connection URL should look like
jdbc:cubrid:localhost:33000:demodb::: and user is dba with an empty password. MySQL connection URL should look like
When connecting to a CUBRID database, make sure it has been started. For Access Database, you don't need to create the mdb file in advance. If it doesn't exist, JMyETL will create it for you.
Then click the
Test Connect buttons to ensure both connection URLs are correct. If the connection has been successfully established, first, you will notice that
Test Connect button becomes green. Second, on the left panel you will see a list of tables from the source database.
Now select all or some of tables which you would like to export from SourceDB to TargetDB. Once ready, click the
Start Import button. Done! This will automatically create corresponding tables in the TargetDB and import all records from SourceDB.

Topic: attachment_fu update/correct setup
I'm trying to use attachment_fu with other models and run into problems. Does anyone know any tutorial and documentation that goes into having e.g. a separate model class that connects to the attachment_fu class etc.?
Also, the edit and update don't seem to work other than deleting the file first and then entering a new one. I'd rather have my edit.rhtml for my e.g. artist class handling the deletion/updating of the picture.
Is there anything out there that goes into that as well?
If not, I'm happy to elaborate on where I am stuck but I figured that there must be plenty of documentation around that already covered those exact problems. I'm just not able to find it.
Any help is appreciated.

Guide's Top 5 for the weekend: White Rock Lake Festival, Lone Star Christmas and 'Ice,' 'She Loves Me,' Texas Stampede and Britten's 'War Requiem' with the DSO
WHITE ROCK LAKE FESTIVAL The White Rock Lake Foundation celebrates the 100-year-old body of water — and raises funds for beautification projects — with two days of trucks and tunes. Those are food trucks, of course, and local bands will provide the tunes. The lineup, which was booked by Mike Schoder of the Granada Theater and Sundown at the Granada, includes Salim and the Travoltas, Somebody's Darling, the Bird Dogs, the Fox and the Bird, Larry G(ee), Forgotten Space, Goodnight Ned, the Will Callers and J. Charles and the Trainrobbers. The 10th annual gathering will also have canoe rides, booths, pet adoptions, and a wine tasting. 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday at Boy Scout Hill at White Rock Lake Park, Mockingbird Lane at East Lawther Drive. $5, free for kids under 5. 214-821-2077. whiterocklakefoundation.org. — Shannon Sutlief
LONE STAR CHRISTMAS AND 'ICE' EXHIBIT Are you counting down yet? It's only six weeks until Christmas. Lone Star Christmas includes decorations such as a life-size gingerbread house and 1.5 million pounds of snow, plus daily snow tubing and the "Ice" exhibit. For "Ice," 40 artists from China have carved 2 million pounds of special frozen water into sculptures showing winter scenes and the characters from the DreamWorks film Merry Madagascar. To tour the exhibit, which is cooled to 9 degrees, put on a provided parka — not a typical garment for Madagascar. Lone Star Christmas and the "Ice"exhibit are open through Jan. 1 at Gaylord Texan, 1501 Gaylord Trail, Grapevine. Exhibit hours are Sundays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Admission to the exhibit is $21.95-$26.95 for adults, $19.95-$23.95 for seniors ages 55 and older, $11.95-$14.95 for kids 4-12 and free for kids 3 and younger. Snow tubing also costs extra. 817-778-1000. christmasatgaylordtexan.com. — Shannon Sutlief
SHE LOVES ME Maybe what She Loves Me has needed all along is an intimate space the size of Stage West's. Die-hard Broadway musical buffs have always had a soft spot for this 1963 show with book by Joe Masteroff (Cabaret) and songs by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof). Adapted from the same play that suggested the plot for the Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan movie You've Got Mail, the stage musical keeps to the original pre-World War II Hungarian setting. Bock's tunes evoke the waltzes, gypsy melodies and tangos of the era. Director Jim Covault's cast sings well enough, though not with a high degree of finish. Still, the performers all act so charmingly and convincingly that She Loves Me both touches and entertains. Through Dec. 9 at Stage West, 821 W. Vickery Blvd., Fort Worth. $28-$32. 817-784-9378. stagewest.org. — Lawson Taitte
TEXAS STAMPEDE This year's Texas Stampede is part of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's circuit, which means contestants will come to Allen to compete in events such as bull riding, steer wrestling and team roping in order to qualify for December's Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Country music concerts follow both nights of rodeo: Tracy Lawrence performs Nov. 9, and Lee Brice takes the stage Nov. 10. There'll also be a free Western Heritage Festival with family-friendly activities such as a petting zoo, pony rides, stick horse races and the Christmas Stampede Western Holiday Marketplace from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. both days. Texas Stampede benefits local children's charities, including Camp John Marc and ManeGait Therapeutic Horsemanship. 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Allen Event Center, 200 E. Stacy Road, Allen. $30 for general admission, $50 for assigned plaza seats and $100 for assigned VIP seats. texasstampede.org. — Shannon Sutlief
BRITTEN'S WAR REQUIEM One of the most powerful works of music ever composed is Benjamin Britten's War Requiem. Penned for the dedication of England's new Coventry Cathedral, erected next to the ruins of the old, it's also a memorial to the victims of World War II. In music alternately dramatic and intensely intimate, it intersperses Wilfred Owen's war poems among traditional Latin texts of the Requiem Mass. A performance anywhere is a major event, and this weekend Jaap van Zweden conducts it with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Chorus and Children's Chorus of Greater Dallas. As at the premiere, the three soloists will represent three of the countries in World War II: Russia (soprano Olga Guryakova), England (tenor Ian Bostridge) and Germany (baritone Dietrich Henschel). Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 8 at the Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St., Dallas. $21-$141. 214-692-0203. dallassymphony.com. — Scott Cantrell

Things are tough in this current economy. There are people in need, communities in need, animals in need, environments in need... and the list goes on and on. One thing for sure, there is never a shortage of volunteering opportunities. If there was ever a time of need, this is it. If there was ever a time for giving of ourselves and volunteering out time -- it's now!
"No one has ever become poor by giving."
- Anne Frank
Anne Frank was right; we don't become poor by giving. When we give of ourselves, we actually become richer. It doesn't cost anything to lend a hand, share a smile, offer encouragement, or give companionship. What we gain, instead, is a sense of well being beyond calculation. The sense of satisfaction from giving back to our community is indescribable. Maybe now, during these tough times, is the perfect time to give a little of ourselves to help brighten this dull world a bit.
