Dressing dogs like the pope
Posted by
October 2 2015
A pope who shares his name with the patron saint of animals, St. Francis de Assisi, is unlikely to be offended by seeing dogs in papal wear. In fact, we can dare to hope that he would find it flattering to see dogs dressed in such costumes. Pope Francis, after all, has thrilled many members of the animal community by discussing an afterlife for many species, including dogs. He has also addressed the importance of kindness towards all living beings. Naturally, many people are dressing their dogs like him as a way to celebrate and honor the pontiff.
With hashtags such as #popedogs, #holyhound and #alldogsgotoheaven, social media has seen many dogs dressed as the pontiff. While claims that pictures of dogs dressed as the pope are taking over the internet are a bit overstated, there's no denying that dogs in pope costumes are gaining in popularity. There have even been a number of names for these dogs such as Pup Francis, Puppy Pontiff and Pope John Paw II.
What do you think of the trend to dress dogs like Pope Francis?

Evidence that this technique has great promise

September 28 2015
As the recently departed Yogi Berra famously said, "You can observe a lot just by watching." Our dogs probably understand that as well as anyone can, because dogs are able to learn a new behavior by seeing a person demonstrate it. Imagine being able to teach your dog a new behavior by simply showing him the behavior and having him copy you! That fits in with many dog trainers' goals of finding additional, better or easier ways to train our dogs.
Learning a new behavior by watching someone else perform it is a type of social learning, and for many years, people thought dogs were not capable of doing so. A natural tendency to assume that only humans are capable of various high-level processes partially explains that, but once various animals were tested, proof of social learning was undeniable. Chimpanzees were the first non-human animals tested and shown to be social learners, but dogs have been in the club for years now. Despite that, social learning has not been used extensively in dog training.
A training technique called "Do As I Do" is becoming increasingly popular, and may make social learning a more common part of dog training. This technique, which is described in detail in creator Claudia Fugazza's book Do As I Do: Using Social Learning to Train Dogs, shows great promise as a new tool for helping our dogs learn. Dogs first learn to copy humans doing behaviors that they already know how to do when given the proper cue. An early step in the process is teaching dogs to copy a demonstrated known behavior when told, "Do It!" Once the dog has learned that "Do It" means to do what the person did, the dog can learn a new behavior with this technique. Later, a verbal or visual cue can be added so that the person does not always have to perform the behavior to let the dog know what to do.
Fugazza and Adam Miklósi (from Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary) recently published a study comparing the effectiveness of two training techniques. In "Social learning in dog training: The effectiveness of the Do as I do method compared to shaping/clicker training," they report that the Do As I Do technique is more effective for quickly teaching dogs a behavior that involves interacting with an object than Shaping/Clicker training. They chose the behavior of opening a sliding door on a cabinet because it was a novel behavior for all dogs in the study. (All dogs in the study and their guardian-trainers were experienced with the training technique used by the pair in the experiment.) More Do As I Do dogs than Clicker/Shaping Dogs learned the behavior within 30 minutes, and they learned it faster on average, too. The experiment did not find a difference between the two training methods when teaching dogs a body movement—in this case to lift the front paws off the ground.
Dogs who learned with the Do As I Do method were better able to remember the behavior and perform it in response to a verbal cue 24 hours after the original training session. In addition, they were better able to generalize their learning by performing the behavior in a new context.
The authors conclude that this new method, which relies on social learning, is more effective than using a clicker to shape a new behavior, which relies on individual learning (in this case, operant conditioning.) The dogs who learned with the Do As I Do method certainly outperformed the dogs who learned without it, but the comparison is more complex than comparing social learning to individual learning. In the traditional view of social learning, individuals learn a new behavior by observing others and without direct reinforcement. In Do As I Do dog training, dogs do learn by observation, but they are also reinforced for correct responses, meaning that their learning also involves operant conditioning. In other words, these dogs are learning with the benefit of multiple techniques. There is compelling evidence that the use of the Do As I Do technique enhances learning in dogs, but it is not completely fair to say that it is better than using operant conditioning. I think it's more accurate to say that social learning combined with operant conditioning is more effective than operant conditioning alone.
Either way, I am excited about the Do As I Do technique of training dogs and would encourage everyone to incorporate it into their training. It's likely that we will look back in a few years and wonder why we didn't use dogs' social learning abilities sooner and more often in dog training. That doesn't mean that Do As I Do dog training will replace other methods, because as Fugazza herself writes, "We should not limit ourselves to using one single training method. The major benefits accrue from the combined use of social learning with other techniques."

Something soft and cozy, please!
Posted by
September 25 2015
Jack does not like to lie down on any hard surfaces. This dog will be with us all weekend, and since our entire downstairs is uncarpeted, it will be littered with sheepskins, towels and blankets. He likes the sheepskin he is on in the picture the most, but he will choose any soft option over a hard one.
I've sometimes heard people insist that dogs lie down on a hard floor because of the inconvenience of providing other options even if the dogs are clearly hesitant. Jack's distaste for lying down on wood or tile floors is not a problem for me. He's an exceptionally sweet, agreeable dog, and if he feels so strongly about this one thing, I can adjust. Many dogs share Jack's distaste for lying down without at least a tiny cushioning layer, and I think that's reasonable. It doesn't mean that a dog is stubborn, difficult or spoiled, even though you may have heard that it does. There's probably a good explanation why any particular dog avoids lying down on a bare floor.
Typically, dogs who want a place that's soft and cozy are either really skinny, on the older side, have very short hair or are in some kind of pain. Basically, that means that lying down on a hard floor hurts them or makes them feel cold. People don't like to lie down in a spot that causes a chill or pain, either. It makes sense that dogs would similarly resist.
If your dog hates lying on the hard floor, by all means provide a more comfortable spot to rest. If your dog suddenly develops an obvious inclination to seek out the softest place available before lying down and actively resists lying down on a hard surface, it's a good idea to try to find out why. A good first step is telling your veterinarian about this change and having your dog examined for potential physical explanations.
Does your dog avoid lying down on hard floors?

One simple tip to try
Posted by
September 23 2015
Trouble when visitors arrive is a common concern of many guardians. I get calls every week because people want help with dogs who react badly to anyone who comes to the house. More often than not, these dogs are afraid, but people rarely call to say that they have a fearful dog. They call to tell me that their dogs are barking and lunging, growling, or even biting visitors.
Comprehensive programs for improving a dog's emotional state and behavior when visitors arrive must be individually designed for each dog and each situation. Often, the use of treats or favorite toys is involved so that the dog learns that all visitors have something fun and wonderful to offer. When a dog has grasped the strong connection between visitors and good things, happiness can replace fear as the dog's response to people coming to the house. That's a very brief and simplified description of what can often be a long and detailed process. Sometimes a little trick can help make visits easier for dogs so that they are in a better state for learning to like having company.
The little trick is to make sure that the dog does not see the visitors enter but only first notices them when they are already settled in the house. It's a lot easier for a dog to see people already seated in the living room or around the table than it is for the dog to see people arrive and enter. Having visitors show up at the door is a very intense situation for a fearful dog. The sight, smell and sound of someone other than a family member appearing at the door and entering the home is a big deal to a dog who is not comfortable with new people. It sets off all of their alarm bells ("Intruder! Code red, code red!") I'm all for avoiding this challenging situation whenever possible.<
To avoid that situation takes some planning ahead. Hopefully, you can tell your visitors to call or text right before coming in so that you can make sure you have the situation set up to maximize your chances of success. Before opening the door for your visitors, temporarily put your dog in a place out of sight of the entry such as in a crate in another room, in the back yard or in the laundry room. I've even had clients briefly put their dog in the car in the garage if that is where the dog is most comfortable when not with his guardians.
Once the dog is where you want him, let your visitors in, have them sit down and give them whatever treats or toys your dog loves best. Then, bring your dog into the room where the visitors are and have them give the dog those goodies. Depending on the details of the dog's issues, you may need to have the dog on a leash or behind a gate during this interaction.
Some dogs will be fine with people once they have met them in this way, and if that's the case, then this may be all you have to do during this particular visit. Other dogs may react as usual if anyone stands up or makes any sudden movements, and may be better off kept separate from the visitors after the initial exposure. Such dogs can benefit from additional work, but this technique can still be a good first step. No single method suits every dog, and extra caution is always advisable with dogs who have bitten. Still, it is easier for almost all fearful dogs to meet visitors who are already in the house sitting down than it is to meet people as they enter the house.
Have you tried this technique with any dogs who react to visitors because they are afraid of them?

Included as cherished family members

September 18 2015
It's been a long time since the majority of people with dogs considered them property, but the inclusion of them in the celebrations and events of life associated with family continues to grow. Birthday parties and gifts for dogs have become increasingly common in recent years, and the number of dogs included in family photos or in signatures on greeting cards is bigger than ever. It's really old news to say that many people consider dogs to be family members, but interesting studies of the ways in which that's true continue to be published.
Earlier this year, a study called Companion Animals in Obituaries: An Exploratory Study was published in the journal Anthrozoös. The study illuminated the importance of companion animals, including dogs, based on the frequency and manner in which they were mentioned in obituaries.
Authors of the above study read nearly 12,000 obituaries in their local papers for three months, recording how often companion animals were mentioned and also how often donations to animal-related charities were requested in lieu of flowers. The newspapers studied were the Washington Post in Washington, D.C., the Richmond Times Dispatch in Richmond, Virginia and the TagesAnzeiger in Zurich, Switzerland.
They found that 148 obituaries mentioned a pet survivor (over 70 percent of them dogs!), and 130 requested that donations go to an animal-related charity. Many of the pets were described as faithful, loving or loyal, a lot were mentioned by name, and it was often written that they missed the deceased. Sometimes even the pets who predeceased the person were mentioned as in, "Wayne was an avid fisherman and enjoyed time with his beloved dogs, the late Bubba and Boomer, as well as Bear."
In the United States newspapers, the likelihood of mentioning a surviving pet and requesting donations to animal-related charities were roughly equal. However, in Switzerland, only one pet survivor (a cat) was mentioned, but fifteen obituaries requested donations to animal-related charities. Though it is unusual to mention pets in obituaries, long-term studies may be able to determine if it is a growing trend.

Have you experienced the fear?
Posted by
September 15 2015
We were pet sitting a distinctive-looking mixed breed dog named Peanut when my husband (riding his bike home from work) called and left a message. He said that he had just seen a dog he thought was Peanut running down the street and he wanted to check on the situation.
The situation was that Peanut was safely at home enjoying a snooze and I was on the phone with a client. Even though I was actually looking at Peanut when I listened to my husband's voice mail, I felt vaguely panicky in response to his words.
We are fortunate that we have never had a dog truly run away, but like most guardians, we have had a couple of whoopsie moments. House guests opening the door without paying attention to the dog, a broken leash, a slipped collar, and a screen door blowing open in the wind are just a few of the "life happens" events that could have meant a dog at risk from traffic and other dangers of the open road. Our dogs have always had good responses to "Wait" and solid recalls, so those little oops moments have never had tragic consequences. They've usually just been an opportunity to give our dog a cue and reinforce them for responding in a real-life situation. They were stressful but not terrifying.
If a dog bolts out the door and takes off, it can be a daunting task to get that dog safely back home. It's a heart-dropping feeling to see a dog head out if you know that he may not come back if called. Even dogs who are very well trained can be in this situation if they bolt out of fear, such as during a thunderstorm that has made them panic or when fireworks are filling the sky.
Have you had a dog take off on you? Were you able to get the dog back and if so, how?

How to avoid them, how to handle them
Posted by
September 11 2015
I often judge trends in the experiences of dogs by what people call to ask me or what my friends casually mention. (Very scientific, I know.) In recent weeks, I have heard about a number of run-ins with coyotes and received just as many phone calls from people who are concerned about the risk of encountering one. The prevalence of coyotes in urban and suburban areas is on the rise and has been for years.
Most coyotes are fearful of people, and generally make an effort to avoid us. They react very differently to dogs, however, taking quite an interest in them. A huge number of interactions between people and coyotes happen when a person is accompanied by a dog. Coyotes may view dogs as a threat, or as potential prey, depending mainly on the size of the dog.
The best way to avoid trouble with a coyote is to avoid coyotes, though that is far from a simple matter. As much as you can, stay away from areas known to have a lot of coyotes. Stick to open trails and paths and stay away from areas with thick vegetation. Walk your dog on a leash (retractable leashes not recommended!), preferably not around sunrise or sunset.
If you do see a coyote, do not run away. Be assertive and attempt to scare the coyote away. If it is possible that pups are around, walk away rather than try to scare the coyote. (It's hard to know if pups are around, but this is most likely during spring and early summer.) Do not turn your back on the coyote, but rather back up to get away. For more advice on how to handle coyote situations, check out this piece on the subject.
I've run into coyotes in Wisconsin and in Arizona. In Arizona, I was out on a trail and saw a coyote in the distance. It moved away from us without my having to do anything. In Wisconsin, I saw one walking right down the middle of the street in my suburban neighborhood while I was walking a dog with aggression issues towards other dogs. The dog stiffened and barked and I knew that no good would come of getting any closer. Not knowing it was the wrong thing to do, I cued the dog to do a U-turn and we scampered out of there. Luckily the coyote did not follow.<

Accept and respect who your dog is

September 9 2015
Today a client asked me what the best advice is for a friend who is about to adopt a dog from a rescue organization. So often, such general questions give me great pause. I'm often inclined to hedge and say, "It depends" or "There's no single response to such a question." Normally, if I do choose to give a specific answer to a sweeping question, I regret my choice and change my mind later. In this case, though, I do have an answer, thanks to a woman with a rescue dog who posted a comment on Patricia McConnell's blog The Other End of the Leash.
The blog was a query to readers when we were in the early stages of writing Love Has No Age Limit: Welcoming an Adopted Dog Into Your Home. We already had strong ideas about what we wanted to include in the book, and had even written an outline. Still, we wanted input from other people with experience adopting from shelters and rescue groups or adopting dogs with difficult pasts. In the blog, Trisha asked readers what they wanted to know when they adopted an adult dog and what they thought were the most important things for adopters to know. We were thrilled with the responses to the blog.
Among the many wonderful comments, one reply stood out. Judi, herself a guardian of rescue dogs, said something that we loved so much that we knew immediately that we had to include it in our book. Here's what she said:
"See the dog, not the story."
We considered this sentiment so beautiful and profound that we expanded on what it means to us with this paragraph in the book:
See the Dog, Not the Story. This is excellent advice from someone with a rescue dog. What your new dog needs most of all is the same thing a person needs—to be accepted and respected for who they are, to be "heard" and understood, rather than to be labeled. You may have been told a number of stories about your dog's history, but although it can be valuable to gather information, it's important not to label your dog for the rest of his life as, for example, "abused" or "neglected." Your goal, beyond providing your new dog a safe and stable environment, is to honor him by letting him tell you who he is right now, accepting that, and acting accordingly. Just as you are no longer that little girl or boy who got bullied on the playground (or who did the bullying), your dog will grow and change as time goes on. Do all you can to see him for who he is NOW, not who he was years ago or who you think he should be.

Meeting the dog at home is not enough
Posted by
September 4 2015
One of the obstacles to proper socialization is a misunderstanding of the details of the process. Specifically, many of my clients have told me that they didn't worry too much about socializing their new puppy because they have another dog at home, and the puppy and that dog get along great. There is an assumption that if a dog can interact properly with one dog, they can interact with all dogs. Regrettably, this is not true.
Exposure to many dogs in the early months of a puppy's life teaches the puppy to be comfortable with unfamiliar dogs in addition to teaching him to be comfortable with the particular dogs he has met. While meeting the other dog at home is a great place to start socializing a puppy, it is unwise to stop there. Many dogs grow up behaving beautifully around the other dog in the family but are totally unable to cope with any other dogs. That's because such dogs only had the opportunity to learn that the dog at home is a friend, but never learned that any other dog can be a friend, too. Judging the dog based only on the behavior around that one dog paints a very incomplete picture of his social skills.
An analogy is to consider a girl who is very relaxed and comfortable around her brother and to assume that she's comfortable around boys. In reality, she may be shy, tongue-tied or completely awkward around boys. Her behavior around her brother is an exception that is out of step with the real pattern
Many well-meaning dog guardians forego the usual suggestions to socialize a puppy, and they do so because they erroneously believe that one dog at home (or even several) will provide adequate socialization. Not so. Puppies need to meet a lot of dogs in order to be able to interact in a socially appropriate way with unfamiliar dogs throughout their lives and to feel comfortable doing so. If a puppy meets lots of dogs early on, the lesson that all other dogs are potential social partners is more likely to be learned and to be applied to all dogs.

Coat color influences choice of name
Posted by
September 1 2015
The color of a dog is often the inspiration when choosing a name, and I enjoy that these names fit the dog. It shows that people made the effort to pick a name specifically for that dog. It's a rare occurrence when I meet a dog named Shadow (or the Spanish equivalent so common where I live—Sombra) who is not black. I've also met my share of black dogs named Raven, Cinder, Midnight, Smoky and Stormy.
Similarly, there are lots of brown dogs, especially Chocolate Labs, named Hershey or Cocoa. Other common names for brown dogs include Mahogany, Mocha, Kahlua, Hickory and Snickers.
A fair number of "redheaded" canines go by Ginger or Rusty. I've also met dogs with a red or orange coat color with the names Ruby, Amber, Cinnamon, Penny, Brandy, Chili and Merlot.
Even before meeting a dog, I'm inclined to expect a white dog with a name like Snowball, Coconut, Casper, Beluga, Pearl or Sugar. I recently came upon a Great Dane named Glacier, which I thought was just fantastic! I've met plenty of dogs with similarly inspired names like Jack Frost and Iceberg, but Glacier was a new one for me. I especially love that it can refer to both the dog's white coat and his fantastic size.
Does your dog's name give a nod to his coat color?

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Coolant & Radiator Hose to repair your car or truck. Obviously, you didn't buy your 450SE unless you knew that you wanted best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. You picked your 450SE because its a reputation for strength and German engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
The engineers that designed the motor in your vehicle have determined an optimal operating temperature. That's why your Mercedes-Benz 450SE engine has a system of radiator and coolant hoses connecting its vital cooling components. The radiator hoses under your hood connect the water pump and engine block to the radiator core, while other coolant hoses direct coolant through or past the thermostat housing, heater core, and the coolant reservoir. If a Mercedes-Benz 450SE radiator or coolant hose bursts, then coolant pressure will drop and it could boil; leading to engine failure.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Get your 450SE back on the road with the highest quality repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When your Mercedes-Benz requires the best replacement Coolant & Radiator Hose, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Mercedes-Benz 450SE Coolant & Radiator Hose for your 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973 model.

Chapter 5 - Warmth and Weakness
From Adashino's Journal:
I don't suppose I was entirely in my right mind when I entered that room. So much had happened, and I had thought so much was lost. At the time, everything seemed to make sense... But looking back, I was just being foolish. Ginko would say so as well, I'm sure.
Perhaps I was grieving, or perhaps I was just too eager for some kind of finality, some resolution. But all the same, I had a creature before me; A mushi I knew was dangerous. A mushi I had personally seen claim someone's life. And still, with hardly a second thought, I put myself right it its path.
Pure foolishness.
It's been pointed out to me before that I have a dangerous habit of underestimating what mushi can do. This has gotten me, and others, into a few very serious situations.
This was another one of those times. One would think I'd have learned my lesson by now.
Adashino woke to the sound of crackling wood, and the intense heat of a fire. When he shifted where he lay, he found himself buried beneath heavy winter blankets. Despite that, the man found that his limbs felt chilled.
Odd, he thought, isn't it the middle of summer?
Disoriented and confused, Adashino pushed the blankets off himself and sat up. Looking around, nothing about the room seemed familiar. Eventually he realized he wasn't in his own home. But his thoughts were sluggish, his memory a blur. He couldn't figure out where he was, or how he'd managed to get there.
"Sensei?" A familiar voice interrupted Adashino's confusion, and the doctor looked up to see Ashika entering the room. "You are awake, thank goodness!" The fisherman hurried to Adashino's side, kneeling down and offering over a steaming cup of tea. "Drink this if you can. I'm no doctor, but I can tell you could do with the extra warmth."
Adashino took the cup gratefully, but waited to drink. He couldn't help but notice that Ashika was red-faced and sweating. Obviously the room was hotter than it needed to be, so why was he himself feeling so chilled? The reason was at the edge of his memory, just out of reach. "Ashika-san... It might be strange to ask, but could you...maybe explain why I'm here?"
Ashika looked genuinely confused. "You don't remember?"
Adashino shook his head. "Not clearly, no."
"Well... You were just wandering around outside, on the path from your house. You didn't answer when I called out, so I went over and..." The fisherman scratched at the back of his head, unsure of the whole incident. Even though he'd seen it with his own eyes, it sounded crazy. "You were freezing, sensei. Cold to the touch, blue lips and everything. I'll be damned if I could tell you why."
Adashino's eyes narrowed thoughtfully, and he frowned. Things were beginning to come back. He could remember being in his home, and he vaguely recalled going into the rear guest room. And something about Ginko... "That's it? No one else was there, or anything?"
"No. I tell you, it was strange. Middle of summer and you're outside freezing to death. But the missus and I got you set right, thank goodness." Ashika gestured to to the cup that Adashino held. "Go on, sensei, drink your tea. We'll figure things out when you're fit."
Inside the doctor's house, frost was forming on the walls, the floor, creeping over the ceiling. Anywhere that shadows touched, the air was chilled. The mushi that now wore Ginko's face moved through the hallways like a creature stalking prey. It examined Adashino's belongings, and stared out the windows at a world vastly different from its own. Like an inventory of language, the mushi pulled words from Ginko's memory, naming everything it saw. Books, bed, haori, inkstone. Anything it saw, there seemed to be a word it could learn.
Slowly, it built it's knowledge. Slowly, it was becoming something more than just a creature of instinct.
Hours later, Adashino was finally feeling warm. Ashika was able to put out the fire, and opened a few doors to let in the sea breeze. Adashino felt a little guilty that the fisherman had to suffer through the heat, but he was grateful that the man had gone through so much trouble for him. The people here were were truly good-hearted folks.
Adashino was also able to recall the events that had brought him to this situation. It was a slow process, but his memory eventually returned. He told Ashika about how Ginko had seemingly woken up, and about how something else was now living within the body of the mushi-shi. He explained how his own foolish actions had gotten him into trouble, and that the freezing cold was a result of coming in contact with the mushi. But what Adashino was still unable to remember was how he had managed to get away, or how he had ended up on the path leading down to the village. In the guest room, he had felt with certainty that that was the end for him, that he had made a fatal mistake. But if the mushi had meant to kill him, wouldn't it have done so? The whole thing was a bit too much to handle.
Now he and Ashika sat together, contemplating what should be done next. Adashino sipped at a second cup of tea, and Ashika rubbed thoughtfully at the stubble on his chin.
"Well," the fisherman began, "We obviously can't just let this problem be. Whatever that thing is, it's dangerous. If it decides to leave your house, there's no telling what will happen."
Adashino nodded his agreement, but no solutions came to mind. This was Ginko's area of expertise, not his. Without the mushi-shi there to give advice, Adashino found himself at a loss. "...There must be some way we can kill it, or make it leave. Something. Ginko always knew of ways to make a mushi leave a host. If this thing has some kind of weakness, then maybe..."
"Finding that is going to be a problem though, don't you think?" Ashika shook his head, scratched at his chin a bit more. "If getting too close is dangerous, how are we going to know if it has a weakness or not? The missus and I were lucky we got to you the first time, sensei. I don't want you to get yourself into that situation again."
The doctor stared down at his tea, thinking hard. His reflection frowned back up at him from the green liquid.
"We'll just have to find a way."
Author's Note: Hello. After a couple years, I'm finally making some headway with this fiction. Some small changes have been made to the previous chapters, so please feel free to read them again. Also, I've added the chapter titles in English, in case anyone was curious about their meanings. Thank you all for the reviews and watches, and thank you for being patient with me and urging me to continue the story. There's more to come, so hopefully this somewhat uneventful chapter will hold you over until chapter 6 is ready. Thank you all again, and please enjoy.

The trend will place renewed pressure on organisations to invest in educating their staff to minimise the risk of infection when they use IT in the workplace.
Criminal groups are making big profits by releasing hundreds of versions of the same malware, each of which potentially requires a new signature, to slip through anti-virus defences, said Jaquith.
"The bad guys are doing a better job at sharing information than the good guys," he added.
Ray Wagner, research vice-president at Gartner, said that businesses would have to focus more on the "human factors" of security to defend themselves.
"Most end-users are not capable of recognising what is malicious malware and what isn't," he said.
And in the longer term, security suppliers would have to adapt by creating technologies based on whitelisting safe programs, rather than blacklisting malware and blocking malicious behaviour, said Jaquith.
George Tubin, senior analyst at TowerGroup, cautioned that it was a never-ending battle. "The fight against fraud and malware is not a single battle to be won. We are never going to get on top of it and fix the problem," he said.

|[jira] Commented: (AMQ-492) Design error in MulticastDiscoveryAgent use of FailoverTransportConnector?
|Fri, 17 Mar 2006 17:59:26 GMT
[ http://jira.activemq.org/jira//browse/AMQ-492?page=comments#action_35805 ] Hiram Chirino commented on AMQ-492: ----------------------------------- There was a question of why use failover?? If you don't expect a node in the cluster to be taken offline for an extended period of time, using reliable helps the stablebility between the brokers since by using failover, if a node in the cluster a transient outage, the rest of the cluster will see him as still being online. I think the gist of the last comment is that that broker was not reconnecting when a clustered broker is bounced. If so, then this is related to AMQ-639 which is now fixed. > Design error in MulticastDiscoveryAgent use of FailoverTransportConnector? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-492 > URL: http://jira.activemq.org/jira//browse/AMQ-492 > Project: ActiveMQ > Type: Bug > Components: Connector > Versions: 4.0 > Environment: w2k and linux w java 1.5 > Reporter: Dennis Cook > Assignee: Hiram Chirino > Fix For: 4.0 > > > I have been trying to get my head around the multicast discovery mechanism. In particular its use of the FailoverTransport class is bothering me. The issue presented itself when viewing the DEBUG level log entries that were generated after one broker of a pair, connected using this discovery mechanism, was stopped. The FailoverTransport went into a very tight endless loop of attempts to reconnect. > My first thought to tweak the Failover properties in the network connector URI. But alais, the uri was for the multicast not the failover. No problem, just duplicate the failover properties on the multicast agent. After doing so, I started to think why is failover needed at all wont the connection be reestablished when the broker returns and advertises itself again? > Can someone comment on this issue? Is the bug that the failover properties where not available or is the problem that failover was used at all? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.activemq.org/jira//secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

In the last 90 days, 8 listings have been made available, which means spaces most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 9,600 sqft, there are still 0 new listings below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this region are close to 2 floors. Most buildings in this area were built in 1977 and are Class A.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Public administration is the dominant industry in this market.

"In his 'photosonic' process, Dudon shines light through a series of semi-transparent, rotating discs that slow and modify the light waves' frequencies; the resulting waveforms are picked up by photoelectric (solar-power) cells connected to standard analog amplifiers."
- Kala Pierson, review in 'The New Music Connoisseur'
"I discovered these very particular waveforms from the beginning of my disk experimentations. Their sonorities, both complex and transparent, are among the oddest, reminding those of inharmonic tones or hisses. Their audition is often accompanied by very powerful psychic effects, the ear recognizing precise textures, paradoxically without being able to give them any determined fundamental pitches. This comes from the fact that graphically, and by analogy with the fractal images, these waves are generated by laws of geometrical development, putting in action the same organizing principles whatever the scale they are being observed at. The synthesis, on a disk, of a white noise, sets a very interesting mathematical problem, which can't be resolved by shapes thrown in a hazardous way, neither by other aleatory parameters, which would only produce a buzz, while a white noise is the undifferentiated mixture of all frequencies. Fractal waveforms are up to this date what I found the most successful for a white noise imitation. In this CD are explored three of these fractal waveforms, with their related intonations: the "Clar" fractal waveform, and its first developments, in "Hexagrammes" (track 8); the "Phi" fractal waveform, starting point of "Fleurs de lumière" (tracks 1-2-3); and the "Mohajira" fractal waveform, at the basis of "Sumer" (tracks 4-5-6-7)."

Wayne Brady's Secret Battle With Depression
"Some days, you don't want to move. You're in the darkness and as much as it hurts, you say to yourself, I'm going to sit right here. Why, because this is what I deserve because I am that horrible of a person."

Multi-talented actor, host and comedian Wayne Brady has made audiences laugh for years on shows like "Whose Line Is It Anyway," "Let's Make A Deal" and Dave Chappelle's "Chapelle's Show". But sadly, he's been dealing with a lot of pain behind the scenes.

GBP/JPY Weekly Outlook
GBP/JPY's fall from 127.30 extended further to as low as 122.96 and with daily MACD crossed below signal line, whole choppy rebound from 116.83 might be finished at 127.30 already, ahead of falling 55 weeks EMA. Intraday bias will remain on the downside with 124.12 minor resistance intact and focus is on 122.63 support. Break will affirm this bearish case. Further break of 119.98 will confirm and target a test on 116.83 low. Though, above 124.12 minor resistance will flip bias back to the upside and would possibly extend the rebound from 116..83 for another high above 127.30 before completion.
In the bigger picture, there is no sign of reversal in GBP/JPY as it's still staying well below the falling 55 weeks EMA (now at 128.87). The down trend from 2007 high of 251.09 is still expected to continue to 61.8% projection of 215.87 to 118.81 from 163.05 at 103.06, which is close to 100 psychological level. On the upside, break of 130.83 resistance is needed to be the first signal of medium term reversal. Otherwise, medium term outlook will remain bearish even in case of further rebound.
In the longer term picture, fall from 251.09 is treated as resumption of multi decade down trend. Monthly MACD will likely be dragged down by the current decline, which suggest that the cross is building up downside momentum again. Current development now favors at least a break of 100 psychological level before the cross bottoms.

Graeme B. Dinwoodie, Mark D. Janis "Trademark Law and Theory: A Handbook of Contemporary Research"
Edward Elgar Publishing | 2008-06-30 | ISBN: 1845426029 | 539 pages | PDF | 1,4 MB
This important new research Handbook brings together a set of illuminating works by the field's leading scholars to comprise one of the broadest and most far-reaching overviews of trademark law issues. Organized around three areas of inquiry, the book starts by offering a rich variety of methodological perspectives on trademark law. The contributors have drawn from law and economics, property theory, semiotic theory, and history - reflecting the multifaceted nature of contemporary trademarks. The Handbook goes on to survey trademark law's international landscape, addressing indigenous cultural property, human rights issues, the free movement of goods, and the role of substantive harmonization.It concludes with a series of forward-looking perspectives, which focus on trademark law's intersection with other bodies of regulation, such as advertising and speech, copyright law, cyberspace regulation, and design protection. Discussing critical future issues regarding trademark protection and its relationship with other social policies, this Handbook will be of great interest to law scholars, trademark lawyers and law students. It will also be of interest to academics in marketing, business, consumer psychology, and economics.

Join University of Rochester Head Coach, Dan Wesley, and his staff of teaching professionals and college players for a week of golf camp in New York this summer. 2017 marks our sixth year of Nike Junior Golf Camps in Rochester!
Golf activities take place at Ravenwood Golf Club, Victor Hills Golf Club and Mill Creek Golf Club. Three hours of morning instruction is followed by lunch and course play in the afternoon. Overnight campers will reside on campus at Rochester Institute of Technology. Breakfast and dinners will be held in the dining halls and evening activities will be scheduled each night.
Nike Junior Golf Camp in Rochester also offers a day program from 8:30am-5:00pm for local players. Day campers can be picked up and dropped off on campus each day and take the bus with overnight campers to the golf course. All golf instruction and lunch is included in the camp price.
A 1996 graduate of Rochester, Wesley played for the legendary Don Smith and served as team captain his senior year. While at Rochester, Wesley played in three NCAA Championships, helping the Yellowjackets to a sixth place finish and their highest ranking ever in the national poll. Wesley also was a three time all UAA selection.
After graduating from Rochester with a B.S. in Psychology, Wesley served as an assistant golf professional at The Country Club of Rochester and at The Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida before moving on to sales representative positions with both Maxfli and Srixon. While at The Country Club of Rochester, Coach Wesley learned under Sam Urzetta, the 1950 US Amateur champion and longtime Rochester sports legend, and his son Michael, the current head professional at CCR. Coach Wesley resides in Pittsford with his wife Kelly (UR '00), daughter Emma, and son Jack.
Scott Moyer, Director of Golf and men's coach, has led the Green Terror to eight NCAA National Championship appearances with the most recent appearance in 2013 and has won several conference championships, including the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2013 titles.
Under Moyer, the Centennial Conference Coach of the Year in 2011 and 2013, McDaniel was ranked 19th in the final Golf World/Nike Golf Division III coaches' poll – its highest final ranking following the 2011 season.
Moyer has won 18 conference team championships and coached 16 individual conference champions on two levels in addition to holding two NCAA coaching records. In 2005, both the men's and women's teams won the Centennial Conference team championship as well as both individual titles, making it the first institution in NCAA history to accomplish this feat.
In addition, McDaniel is believed to be the first team to have four different players win the individual conference championship in four consecutive years (2005-08).
Moyer has worked with coaches and players from around the United States as well as South Africa, Germany, Spain, Canada, and Korea, Japan France, Sweden and Austrailia. His players and students have competed at every level of golf competition, including the PGA Tour, Futures Tour, U.S. Open, British Amateur, U.S. Amateur, Porter Cup and the NCAA national championship Several of his former players have gone on to be successful college players at the D1, D2 and D3 levels.
Moyer is a member of the Golf Coaches Association of America and speaks at numerous recruiting workshops, including those in Pinehurst, N.C., and for the Mid-Atlantic PGA. He also serves as the Director of the National Golf Coaches Academy and directs numerous NIKE golf camps nationwide.
The Overnight fee includes all golf instruction, green fees, evening activities, housing and meals. The Day Camp option includes all golf instruction, lunch, and course play. Day campers will be dropped off and picked up at the golf course each day.
Campers are supervised 24 hours a day. The staff lives in the dormitories with the campers and participates in evening activities. Drugs, alcohol and tobacco are strictly prohibited, and constitute, along with general misconduct, grounds for dismissal from camp without a refund.
Nike Junior Golf Camps does not provide transportation to and from airports, bus depots or train stations. The packet we send to registered campers in the spring offers suggestions on shuttle services for each specific camp.
A detailed camper registration packet containing check in location, health/release forms, emergency contact info, and a list of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring.
Ravenwood Golf Club is an award winning 18 hole course located just minutes south of Rochester, New York and in the heart in the Finger Lakes Region of Western New York.

Victor Hills Golf Club is a family owned and operated public golf course established in 1974. Victor Hills is a member of the Rochester District Golf Association and USGA. Victor Hills has 63 of the Finger Lakes most picturesque golf holes situated on 550 acres of rolling hills in the northwest corner of Ontario County in Victor, New York. Three beautifully designed, unique and well manicured regulation golf courses located only 15 minutes outside of Rochester, NY.
This land on which Mill Creek Golf Club sits, plays on, off and around the highest point in Monroe County with views to the east of the Rochester skyline and the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes to the south. Rochester's newest 18 hole championship course integrates the spirit of the unique glacial drumlin that bisects 320 acres of forested rolling hills, windswept fescues, rock creeks and waterfalls.
"My son had a fantastic time. Both coaches were great. College kids were fun. We thought of sending our son to a camp much farther away. Glad we didn't. He couldn't have had a better experience."
"Awesome camp!! Looking forward to next year."
"Coach Wesley and his staff were great. My daughter can't wait to come back next year."
"This was a great opportunity and we all really appreciate this camp coming to Rochester. We hope that you will return to the University of Rochester in 2013!"
"Great camp! My son love's it and can't wait to come back with his friends next year. Thank you!"
"Thank you coaches for a great week. I learned a lot about my short game and will use it in my tournaments this fall!"
"My son was in Rochester visiting family for a few weeks and decided last minute to do the camp and loved it. Says he cant wait until next summer!"

ASU president Michael Crow: compensate coaches on performance
College football coaching salaries are up, and likely will continue to rise in upcoming years.
According to USA Today, the average salary for an FBS head football coach has increased 70% from 2006 to 2012.
To slow this trend, ASU president Michael Crow says that instead of giving head coaches top-tier base salaries, the coach has to earn it. The incentives push an otherwise average salary into a much larger one.
"If you look at our major revenue-generating sports, we try to keep our salaries in the median level and then provide for incentives for success, as opposed to just raising and raising and raising these salaries every year no matter what," Crow said on the Doug and Wolf show on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
According to proposed Arizona Board of Regents documents, which were approved, ASU coach Todd Graham will make $2.7 million in 2014, a raise of $300,000 from last season, with the potential for $3.49 million more in combined athletic and academic bonuses.
Some of these bonuses may be lofty, such as the one worth half of his base salary for winning the national championship, but other benchmarks have already been reached, such as appearing in the Pac-12 title game and finishing in the Top 25.

Sentinel Point Trail is a 6.1 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Florissant, Colorado that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Horses are also able to use this trail.
mountain biking
nature trips
horseback riding
wild flowers
Beaver Ponds, views, alpine tundra, waterfalls, solitude. Great hike. The trail starts on the SE end of the parking lot. Follow this trail to Horsethief Park. Just after the terrain levels out look for a left turn marked with a ring-the-peak signpost. Take this trail that immediately crosses a stream. Follow this trail North through a small valley with several beaver ponds. The trail will make a Y where the valley begins to veer right. Take the right leg of the Y that continues in this small valley. The trail will soon reach an area where it follows an old stream bed. When the trail fades head right and up to the ridge to Sentinel Point Then descend south from Sentinel Point staying on the East side of the ridge. Look for an opening in the rocky ridge at a small saddle and descend there. Head down until you reach the stream, follow the stream until you reach Horsetheif Falls trail. Follow this trail downhill and it will lead you back to the Trailhead.
Snow pack is still to deep, lost the trail about 1500ft or so before tree line. Decided to bag it at this point as I did not want to have to find my bush wacked trail back down to where the last visible point of the trails is.
This trail is definitely NOT accessible year round. Could've used a pair of snowshoes today but even that might've been a struggle. Went as far up as I could before turning around. There are no signs unless they were buried under the 3-4 feet of snow. Beautiful views! Can't wait to go back in the summer time but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone this time of year.
This hike was well marked until the top. After reaching the summit and walking around the peak to the back side, no more trail or marker. According to the map on All Trails, we stayed pretty close to the "trail", but did not see one until the last mile. The backside was very steep, slid on my butt a lot, so did my Border Collie. Plan on forging your own trail down. I had my camelback full of water and a Nalgene full and I ran out between myself and my dog. We went a total of 10.1 miles, hit the trail at 8:30, back to the car at 3:15, and we did not stop. It was the toughest hike I've done. Did Mt. Esther last week, it was a piece of cake. Should have back tracked from the peak, but wanted to do the loop.
Tried to do the loop but no trail and had to backtrack out which sucked . Challenging hike like others have said but not well marked . Large Boulder field-- headed on the grassy incline to the left instead . Good luck!!
Completed this hike yesterday, it was fun. Definitely challenging but worth it at the top. Had to make my own trail down though. Still was worth it.
This hike is not for the light-hearted. Just make sure you follow the cairns and you will find the top. The final ascent involves scrambling and bouldering. Nice challenging hike for sure!
This trail is challenging, but worth it. Starting out at trailhead for Horsethief and Pancake Rocks, take the first left and follow the flat trail around and then take a right at the split (704C). Shortly after this point it is all up. Look for the cairns and you should be fine. I recommend coming prepared with a plenty of calorie replenishment, water, and trekking poles for the descent down. Also, sun protection. Once you get above the tree line you will bake pretty well even on cooler days.
This trail should be marked hard. It is much longer than 5.6 mi round trip - more like 11 mi. (I went up and down the same route along the stream.) I had difficulty following the trail once I got above tree line, so I blazed my own trail. I ended up doing a lot more boulder scampering than I think was necessary. However, it was a rewarding hike with the tundra flowers and awesome views at the top.
This is not an easy trail, no idea how it got rated that way. The last half mile goes up 1000 ft in elevation and the trail isn't recognizable. You'll have to rock scramble in many parts and most of the trail is unmarked. I thought this was gonna be a nice relaxing hike, from from not. After you pass the stream and beaver dams it goes straight up. It's early in the season, so a few hundred feet up I ran into nothing but snow. Some was waist deep and and the last few hundred feet was almost impossible to climb due to snow and no markings. There is no clearly defined trail in the last few hundred feet. I'd skip this trail until mid summer and not underestimate the climb over the last half mile.
Should have read the reviews first... I completely lost the path after the falls, and ended up failing to get to the top because I was dead set on finding a trail. Oh well. It was really pretty, and I went in early September. Bird watching was great, I saw several warblers, a vireo, and then the usual crowd. I'll be back to get to the top sometime.
When we hiked this trail we veered to the right and decided to take the steeper incline from the start and slowly wind our way down. The trail was easy to see and follow all the way to the waterfall and past it a ways, when suddenly, it became almost impossible to find. At that point we took out my phone with this app and followed the topographical map and purple line to treeline. It very much felt as if we were making our own trail, even when according to the map we were on it. The views however were remarkable and made it worth it and then some.
Once we hit the boulder field on our descent we saw the piles of rocks that someone had placed to mark the trail and followed these back to tree line where they continued to help us out. Once a bit inside treeline the trail becomes totally recognizable again and easy to follow.
Our daughter hiked with us and was wearing her fit bit, which calculated the distance at 8.75 miles.
I want to hike this again in the summer, and see the difference. If you plan to take the route I would not recommend someone hike this without bringing some kind of map you can reference through various points of the hike, and be prepared for some steep climbing if you follow the way we took. It was amazing at the top though, and I highly recommend it as a lovely challenging hike.
Great and challenging hike, and overnight in the valley is a nice option.
Re: the previous reviews:
1. It's longer if you take the valley route back rather than loop past falls - ~6 mi. is loop distance.
2. It is dog friendly. The path to the boulder field is cairn marked, and then passes through a gap in the boulder field before continuing inside the trees to the right of the boulder field. You can stay in the trees and off the boulders all the way above tree line and into the saddle meadows for the final push. Only the last few boulders on the summit is beyond dog access.
I hiked this trail? yesterday and I have to agree with some of the others who have reviewed this route. The route is pretty easy until you get to about 11000 feet. At that point the trail markings become sporadic and difficult to find. It seems the whoever marked the trail was using blaze orange tape but must have ran out. There are also rock piles along the path, but again some of those are few and far between, making staying on the trail difficult. After passing through the tree line it was a guessing game as to how to get to the peak. I chose a direct route to the top where as I was reaching the top it started to sleet. Instead of taking the loop as indicated I chose to go down the way I went up since I wasn't sure how the weather was going to hold out. Also, whoever said it was a 6 mile loop was a little off. I ended up at 8.09 miles.

This hike started out great. When we got to the trail head we went left, or north west. The path takes you by some beaver ponds that are pretty impressive. You will pass isolated camp grounds and the remains of old cabins from the mining days. The valley is beautiful. When you start into the woods you also begin your incline. It's pretty much up the rest of the way to the peak. We had brought out black lab with us - when I reviewed the trail info it said dog friendly - but when we got near tree line the boulders were just too big and difficult for her to follow us. We tried to find an easier trail and use this app to find the actual trail path (you follow a rocky path with little man-made rock piles) but it was confusing. I read through all the other reviews and it seems you have to climb the boulders. So we sat and took a nice break near tree line on a boulder pile. The western views are amazing and it wasn't too windy though a bit chilly (it is November). We headed down after our break and returned after about five 1/2 hours of hiking. I am disappointed that we didn't summit but still enjoyed the adventure. I recommend - don't take your dog. :-)

Chapter ThirteenMature
A strange thing occurred to me the more time I spent alone in my house.
I could not stop thinking about her.
I wondered if she was okay, how therapy was, what her school work was. I wondered how she and Charlie were getting along. Mostly, though, I wondered if she thought about me at all.
I kept thinking back to that night. She had not seemed like she had really wanted me to go. Had she? Was I just blinded by stupidity? Was I convincing myself of something that would be easier on me?
I spent a lot of time in my living room, listening to my ridiculous music collection. I spent a lot of that time with a single song on repeat. Eventually, once the song had buried itself beneath my skin, I retreated back into my room and pulled out my acoustic guitar.
Charlie really didn't like my smoking. At all. He disliked it so much, in fact, that he agreed to allow hypnosis during my therapy sessions. I put up a real fight on that one. Charlie and I ended up screaming at each other in the living room for more than an hour. Then he put Renee on the phone and she mumbled something about agreeing with Charlie. I slammed the phone down and left the house. I went for a drive and it was boring and didn't help at all. I continued fuming when I returned home at midnight. Charlie had already gone to bed so I just went right to my own room and tried to sleep.
The hypnosis sessions had been going on three times a week for just over two weeks now. Being the first week of February, Valentine's Day crap was everywhere. People were always walking around with stupid smiles and roses and holding hands and stuffing tongues down throats. It was revolting.
The hypnosis left me wondering what I'd said throughout the session. That is, until I walked in for my Tuesday session and stupid old Howley was sitting there looking at me with a grim expression on his face.
"Have a seat, Miss Swan." I did. "We need to have a talk about something. I've already talked to your parents, but I need you to understand what is going on."
"We are going to be enrolling you in... Well, in a program of sorts."
"A program?" The acid was back in my voice. It felt good, if I were being honest.
"Yes. We... Well, my diagnosis of your condition leads me to believe you need further treatment."
"Your diagnosis of my condition? You mean your half-considered prescription for issues you barely know considering I've only been in here SEVEN times?"
"Miss Swan, please calm down. Just let me explain."
I glowered.
"There is a facility just outside of Port Angeles that is equipped to help you. I'm not going to prescribe you any pills. These people can help."
"You're sending me to a mental institution?! On what grounds?" The acid in my voice was starting to burn my own throat. Or perhaps that was the screaming.
"Miss Swan, the symptoms are indisputable. You have a severe form of psychosis. You show signs of hallucinations, delusional beliefs, disorganized thoughts and even, as both of your parents agree, severe personality changes. I'm sorry, Isabella, but there's no arguing this."
"Hallucinations? Delusional beliefs? Disorganized thoughts? What kind of crap are you talking about?"
"When under hypnosis, your topics of discussion change rapidly, usually occurring mid-sentence. That is a tell-tale sign of disorganized thoughts, Miss Swan. And as far as hallucinations and delusional beliefs are concerned... You talk a lot about creatures that don't exist. You tell me memories that even your parents contradict. Such as having been attacked by a vampire in a ballet studio back in Phoenix, but your parents tell me that at the time you claim this happened, you had fallen down a flight of stairs and through a window while visiting with an old boyfriend. You talk about a vampire who used to visit you a few weeks ago, who 'rescued' you in the woods? Miss Swan, your hallucinations and delusional beliefs are inarguable."
And that was the end of it. I got up and left. I tried talking to Charlie, I'd even called and begged Renee not to do this. They were both set in what they thought they had to do. So, on Monday of next week, they would be signing me in to a mental institution.
I walked up to my room, having skipped dinner, and slammed the door. I threw myself on the bed and pulled my pillow up to my face. My nose hit something hard and plastic and I lifted myself up to see. A CD case. That was odd. I would have sworn I'd tossed this across the room. My eyes lifted to the wall I'd thrown it at and, sure enough, there it was lying on the floor. The case was shattered and the disc was probably ruined. Good. That still didn't explain the CD case on my pillow. I lifted it and looked at it from a different angle, tilting it towards the light.
In sharp, deliberate script, there was an address printed on the disc. That was it. I took the CD out of the case and grabbed my portable CD player, popping it in and turning it on. It appeared there were only two tracks.
I hit play and pulled the headphones over my ears.
"No one is harder on me than myself, or so it seems." I knew the song. I knew the song well. This was different. This was acoustic, it wasn't recorded in a studio anywhere. And the singer's voice was completely different. It was softer, much more mellow. There was no straining, vocally it was all a very fluid almost-whisper.
"Some say that you are my curse, my own worst enemy. I think they're wrong. They never thought our life could be like this. They never thought. / I'll be your safe ride home when you call me, I'll be everything and more when you call my name. / I thought no one is smarter than me. No, I don't need anyone's help or so it seemed. You changed me for the good, they never understood. But even if they tried, I doubt they could. So take my nervous hand and we can take a stand, we don't have to live by their demands." I had always enjoyed the song on it's own, but the lyrics meant something completely different for me today. The tears started to come swiftly.
"I never thought life could be like this. I never thought..." And then it hit me. The voice. So melodic. Unnaturally melodic. James.
"I'll be your safe ride home when you call me, I'll be everything and more when you call my name. / When I'm with you there's no worries. When I'm with you there's no shame. When I'm with you I'm secure. We choose to live against the grain. They could say we lack the progress. They could say that we're a mess. They could say we'll never make it. And I know we're better than their test and I don't hear them anyway. / I'll be your safe ride home when you call me, I'll be everything and more when you call my name."
I was sobbing uncontrollably by the time the final chorus ended. There was a short pause as the tracks changed. I waited, listening intently even over my harsh sobs. The next song I was less familiar with, but the voice was still James.
"Read me the letter, baby, do not leave out the words. Stories and cigarettes ruined lives of lesser girls, and I wanna know 'cause I want you to know. / And it's a strange condition, a day in prison. It's got me out of my head and I don't know what I came for. / Send me the money, baby, do not leave out the wage. You know you're the best thing ever to come out of this place." I giggled in the middle of my tears.
"Hey, I want you to know 'cause I wanna know. / And it's a strange condition, a day in prison. It's got me out of my head and I don't know what I came for, I want you to know, I want you to know, I want you to know..." I got the impression throughout the song that certain lines weren't as important. Perhaps it was because he mumbled those.
"So leave out the others, baby, say I'm the only one. Cut out the uniforms and settle with the sun. Hey, I want you to know 'cause I wanna know. Yeah, I gotta know." The sobbing was overwhelming as the song ended. I knew without a doubt that the final few lines were exactly why he was singing the song to begin with. I hit the repeat button twice so it would repeat both songs, and I continued sobbing to myself. Everything that had been happening in the past few months welled up beneath my eyelids and ripped through me, choking me on my tears and aggravating the gaping hole in my chest.

Deputies Rick Sanchez and Eddy Luna of the Comal County Sheriff's Office warrants division arrested Ulloa on a fugitive warrant earlier this year at a Guadalupe County residence. Charges against Ulloa allege that he possessed between 4 and 200 grams of cocaine and between 4 and 200 grams of methamphetamine when he was originally arrested at his residence July 13, 2000. On June 16, 2000, June 21, 2000, July B, 2000 and july 13, 2000, Ulloa allegedly delivered between four ounces and live pounds of marijuana to another man. I Jlloa's previous convictions include a federal conviction in October 1986 for possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Texas oil also on redistricting map By Suzanne Gamboa Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick complained this week that the state's oil and gas interests have no representation in Congress, even though a fellow Republican in Congress plays a key role in writing national energy legislation Craddick made the com ment in reference to Texas redistricting battle and his desire for a congressional dis trict based in Midland. "I have a very strong tee! that Midland, Odessa and Tom Green County and the West Texas area out there have not had fair representation for the last 40 veal s, and we vt* not hail any oil and gas representation and really want and deserve that," Craddick said during a visit to Midland Thursday. Republican attempts to redraw texas congressional districts reached a stalemate over dividing a district that now includes Midland and Lubbock, so Midland can elect its own House member. Midland is in the middle of the Permian Basin, which produces 70 percent ofTexas oil and 20 percent of the nations petroleum. It also was where President Bush grew up. Lubbock is a center of Texas agriculture. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee, is one of the key COP negotiators on an energy bill now making its way through Congress. Among other things, the bill provides tax incentives for marginal wells, smaller wells like those found in the Permian Basin, so they can keep operating when prices drop. Barton was on vacation Friday and not reachable for commem, but his spokeswoman, Samantha Jordan, said Barton has helped raised the profile of Texas and its oil interests. Craddick spokesman Bob Richter said while Barton may watch out for Texas oil intel -ests, the Midland and Odessa areas have "always been the tail end of someone else s dis trict." Craddick figures "if he can't get a district centered in the Permian Basin-San Angelo corridor now, he ll never gel it." Richter said. Rep. Gene Green, D I Elliston, said several Texas lawmakers, including him and Rep. Ralph Hall, D-Rockwall, also look out for oil and gas interests. "I work hand-in-hand with Joe Barton, in fact, we have done joint appearances, where we talk about the need for production and needs of the energy industry," he said. In addition, I louse Majority Leader lorn DeLay, R-Sugar Land, is pushing Texas oil and A pickup truck on Friday passes a stopped school bus with its stop *iqn extended DAVID INGRAM/Herald-Zeituiui School officials are reporting more incidents of motorists passing buses this year BUS CONTINUED FROM Page IA CISD using more centralized stops Wommack said.

"You will see more of that in coming years," he said. Still, most of the responsibility for ensuring safety around school buses belongs to drivers. Children would be safer ii drivers would obey the law, Phelps said. "Everyone should realize that bus drivers have a great responsibility in the community to get students to school on time and safely, Phelps sail!

He wants it to provide protection to MTBE manufacturers against product liability lawsuits arising out of water pollution cases. MTBE is a gasoline additive. Morris Burns, Permian Basin Petroleum Association vice president, said Barton and former congressman Lar-ry Combest, a Lubbock Republican, have been friends of the petroleum industry. Combest represented the district that could he divided. But he said the association would like a representative who has worked in the industry because they would make knowledgeable decisions. I lowever, the industry does have an oilman in the White House. Bush owned an oil business in Midland.
