Stephin Merritt, the master craftsman behind the Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs, is one of our great living songwriters—a sardonic Stephen Foster with an expansive literary wit. Celebrating his 50th birthday and a new album on Nonesuch Records. Merritt and band perform two distinct programmes of new songs—one for every year of his melodious existence. In a spectacular staging featuring 50 instruments from Merritt's formidable collection, the seven-member band recounts his five decades on planet Earth, covering everything from bedbugs and Buddhism to his conception by hippies on a houseboat in St. Thomas.
Each performance will be a separate programme.
The whole album will take place over two nights: songs 1 through 25 on 28th August and songs 26 through 50 on 29th August
"Stephin Merritt has distinguished himself as one of contemporary pop's most beloved and influential artists" The New York Times
50 Song Memoir is the new album from songwriter Stephin Merritt's beloved recording project, the Magnetic Fields. This personal album, containing fifty songs, one for each year of the artist's life, is projected for a late 2016/early 2017 release on Nonesuch Records. The album commenced recording on Stephin Merritt's fiftieth birthday, February 9, 2015.
To date, Merritt has written and recorded ten Magnetic Fields albums, including the popular and critically acclaimed album, 69 Love Songs. A song from that record, The Book of Love, has been covered by Peter Gabriel, and has appeared in numerous TV shows and films; notably, the Nairobi Chamber Orchestra performed it at an official state dinner in Kenya, before Presidents Barack Obama and Uhuru Kenyatta delivered their toasts. Merritt has also composed original music and lyrics for several music theater pieces, including an off-Broadway stage musical of Neil Gaiman's novel Coraline, for which he received an Obie Award. In 2014, Merritt composed songs and background music for the first musical episode of public radio's This American Life. Stephin Merritt also releases albums under the band names the 6ths, the Gothic Archies, and Future Bible Heroes.
Unlike Merritt's previous work, the lyrics on 50 Song Memoir are nonfiction, a mix of autobiography (bedbugs, Buddhism, buggery) and documentary (hippies, Hollywood, hyperacusis). There is one song per year for the fifty years since the songwriter's birth in 1965. Musically, the sound ranges as widely and adventurously as possible, within the context of lyrics-driven music.
In concert, the music will be played and sung by seven performers in a stage set featuring fifty years of artifacts both musical (vintage computers, reel-to-reel tape decks, newly invented instruments), and decorative (tiki bar, shag carpet, vintage magazines for the perusal of idle musicians). The seven performers each play seven different instruments, traditional (cello, charango, clavichord) or invented in the last fifty years (Slinky guitar, Swarmatron, synthesizer).
In describing his approach to writing 50 Song Memoir, Merritt states:
"The first song, 'Wonder Where I'm From,' explains that I was conceived by barefoot beatniks on a houseboat in St Thomas, Virgin Islands; born in Yonkers, NY, but never lived there; learned to talk in Baden-Baden, in the former West Germany (then called the BRD, for Bundesrepublik Deutschland), and moved around constantly throughout my childhood, so that when someone asks me where I'm from, I have no short answer handy. The musical treatment shifts to reflect each locale, as exemplified by Alvin and the Chipmunks' album Around the World with the Chipmunks."
The stage extravaganza will be directed by the award-winning Jose Zayas (Love in the Time of Cholera, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter).

Production of extracellular keratinases by keratinophilic fungal species inhabiting feathers of living poultry birds (Gallus domesticus): A comparison

Fourteen species of keratinophilic fungi belonging to ten genera (Chrysoporium, Malbranchea, Chaetomium,Sepedonium, Microascus, Scopulariopsis, Curvularia, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium) were isolated from feathers of about one hundred living poultry birds. The isolated fungi were compared for their keratinase activity after growing them on two different media: (1) basal salts solution containing natural keratin (human hair) as the only source of carbon and nitrogen; (2) the medium was supplemented with a minor amount of readily assimilable source of carbon along with natural keratin. All the test fungi could grow on keratinous material, degrading it and releasing sulphydryl containing compounds detected as cysteine, total proteins and extracellular keratinase. Maximum enzyme release by these fungi occurred in the broth supplemented with glucose and vitamins, thereby indicating a correlation between the mycelial biomass and production of proteolytic keratinases.

Harley Lawrence was the only homeless person in the Annapolis Valley town of Berwick, N.S., and for the past eight months, he lived in the bus shelter on Commercial Street.
Early on Wednesday morning, the RCMP and fire department found the 62-year-old dead after they were called to a fire there. Police are investigating and autopsy results have not been released.
The community of 2,500 is in shock – many worry that they did not do enough for Mr. Lawrence, who simply showed up in their town last spring. Others are concerned, too, that Berwick is attracting national media attention for the mysterious death of a homeless man and not its quaint Valley charms. Media reports said some residents tormented the man.
Shannon Taylor, who works overnight delivering The Chronicle Herald newspaper, is haunted by what she witnessed early that morning when she saw the bus shelter ablaze.
She noticed two teenage boys filling a jug with gasoline at the local gas station. Within minutes, "I seen the bus shelter on fire. Just like that," she told The Globe and Mail. She was with her partner at the time; both have given statements to investigators.
Police said on Friday that developments are unlikely over the weekend. A vigil is planned Saturday for Mr. Lawrence in the parking lot of the Foodland, near the bus shelter.
"We all feel very remorseful about this thing," said John Prall, a town councillor. "It really hit us hard. … It's a helplessness, I guess, that really frustrates you as to what should have been done."
Mr. Lawrence was an oddity in town, sitting outside the Tim Hortons, the bank or the Subway, hoping people would throw some money in his cup. At night, he would sleep in the bus shelter, Mr. Prall said.
Some residents gave him money and food; others wished he would go away. Recent news reports said some people were wondering, with the nights becoming colder, what would happen to him. Town officials and police were looking for a solution.
John Andrew, the chaplain of the Open Arms Ministry, which operates an emergency shelter and other services for people at risk in nearby Kentville, tried to help.
He knew Mr. Lawrence for eight years, since he first showed up in the area. People befriended him, gave him odd jobs and shelter. At one time he lived in a tent in a family's back yard.
Over the years, Mr. Andrew said Mr. Lawrence bounced around from town to town and lived for a time in Halifax. He was a jack of all trades, who was born in a small corner of the Valley and once was married.
Mr. Andrew said family members told him Mr. Lawrence's mental-health issues began in the late 1970s.
In the winter of 2004, he slept on a cot in a Kentville family's basement. The couple, who are devastated by his death, spoke to The Globe and Mail but asked not to be named. They described him as caustic but funny and exceedingly private. Mr. Lawrence helped renovate a couple of bathrooms. He also shovelled their snow and ate dinner with them every night.
That spring, he moved on, but they tried to keep tabs on him.
Mr. Andrew said he saw Mr. Lawrence last week and he was not interested in help.
"He definitely became progressively withdrawn," Mr. Andrew said. "He would just plunk himself down on the sidewalk, hunched over, just lifeless."
Valerie Davis of the Annapolis Valley District Health Authority's mental health and addiction services said the region has protocols to deal with people with mental health issues who want help.
"Our services are based on the principle of being voluntary, whether you are ill or not can be determined if you are willing to access the treatment services available," she said. "If you are not interested or not willing to access those services, then the system is pretty limited in what they do from there."
RCMP Sgt. Alain LeBlanc said police had no reason to intervene with Mr. Lawrence as there were no reports that he was a threat to himself or to others.
This isn't good enough for Mr. Andrew. He ran a year-round shelter in Kentville for four years, but he and his volunteers "simply burned out," he said. Now he runs an emergency shelter and winter program for 60 to 80 people.
Mr. Andrew called on the newly elected Liberal Party to come up with a "collaborative plan to rescue people who are unable to care for themselves."
"There has to be a way to do it," he says. " We have reacted so strongly to the institutional approach that what we've done is abandon people in need."Report Typo/Error

"Hoot" Judkins was started in 1962 by a man named Hoot Judkins in San Francisco as a paint and wallpaper store.To compliment his store, Hoot brought in a few pieces of unfinished furniture for his customers to paint. After a few months of success, Hoot knew the unfinished furniture market would be his niche. He eventually sold his business to his general manager Bob when he retired. Bob also retired, and now his kids, Bobby and Vicki own and operate the store. After over 50 years, Hoot Judkins continues to be the Bay Area's largest wood furniture store.
Keeping with the history of the operation we have always kept our "Hoot" owl for our logo with the paintbrush under his wing. We pride ourselves in being third generation family owned and operated company and take pride in our team of friendly, knowledgeable employees. Our employees are trained to educate our clients about the wood, finishes and construction of our products. In addition, we can teach you how to hand finish your own furniture, saving you money, and personalizing a piece that will last your lifetime. We are proud that over half of our customers are returning clients who have shopped our store in the past.
We carry an extensive collection of furniture, made in the USA, from real wood and finished with low VOC products. Several of our top selling lines are made entirely in California, who has some of the most strict finishing standards in the world. Plus, these products are being shipped a very short distance reducing the dependence and cost of fuel and reducing the need for additional packaging materials. We consolidate our delivery trucks reducing our dependency on fuel. In order to expand our selection and price, we do offer imported furniture. However, we are extremely selective about the products and quality. We only buy from reputable US manufactures that build quality furniture built to last. We do not buy into the mentality that furniture is "disposable" and should only last a few years.
The "Hoot" Judkins Double Guarantee states that all furniture sold by "Hoot" Judkins is guaranteed free of defects in material and workmanship by its manufacturer. "Hoot" Judkins' guarantee does not stop there. We stand behind everything we sell. Any problem, anytime, we will be there to help.
We also offer services such as in-home delivery, custom finishing, customization and built in furniture. We also give back to our community offering donation of furniture to local churches and school fundraisers throughout the year.

When It Comes to High School Choice, Who Does the Choosing?
Amid a frenzy of fall high school tours, it dawned on me that the most bothersome aspect of getting my son into a New York city high school is the illusion that it is our choice.
Anyone who has studied this elaborate process for five minutes could tell you that the schools themselves — at least the popular ones — do the bulk of the choosing. This is why we call it school choice.
It is true that parents and students, after seemingly endless visits to Web sites and overcrowded open houses, rank the schools according to their preferences. But at the same time, the most coveted high schools — those with far more applicants than they can accept — are also ranking the students.
The specialized high schools — Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, etc. — which accept students based only on the specialized high school exam, rank students by their test score.
The so-called "screened" schools — those admitting students based on a variety of criteria that could include grades, test scores, attendance, portfolios, interviews and/or essays — also rank the applicants based on whatever combination of these factors they chose.
Then the real sorting begins. We are told that a computer matches students' preferences against the schools' list of favorite applicants via a magical algorithm, and — poof! — the next four years of our children's lives are determined.
Sounds simple, organized, etc. But what the heck is an algorithm? I hear many parents asking this question, wanting to know how one of them — whatever they are — is able to decide where our children go to high school.
According to Webopedia, an algorithm is a "formula or set of steps for solving a particular problem."
For those of us who are not math or computer science whizzes, we should be heartened to know that an algorithm "must be unambiguous and have a clear stopping point" — in this case a high school acceptance or rejection.
Yet perhaps the most interesting aspect of an algorithm is that we unknowingly use them every day, even when our children are not trying to get into a New York City high school. No kidding. In fact, a recipe for baking a chocolate cake is an algorithm, ending in a simple step: "eat."
This comfort food metaphor to describe the "thing" that gets our children into a school may help make us more comfortable with the process. But we have to remember that as the computer is taking each step toward defining our children's options for next year, one side of the equation is much longer than the other.
In other words, when it comes to the high schools that are most in demand citywide, each of these has many more applicants than the applicants have good options.
In fact, the high school principals and Web sites, as well as the New York City Department of Education, are not shy about telling you how many students "applied" to the most coveted schools versus how many were accepted e.g., nearly 25,000 applicants for only 830 seats at Stuyvesant High School, or about 16,400 applicants for 90 seats at the High School for American Studies at Lehman.
Granted, these large "applicant" numbers include any student who listed each of these schools at all. Still, the ranking, algorithmic system of high school choice in New York City means that only the schools, with their amazing lists of potential ninth graders, can have their cake and eat it, too.

| Rokiah Mahmud & Wani Roslan |
SEVERAL bookstores in the country have become the focus of attention of parents and their children, who want to purchase their back-to-school items, especially with government servants receiving their annual bonus yesterday.
As most of the bookstores only opened at 9am, many parents and children waited patiently outside as they checked their lists of textbooks and workbooks needed for next year's school term.
The Bulletin yesterday approached two popular bookstores in town to get their views on the back-to-school preparations and observed the crowds of parents and their children picking up the school essentials.
Mohamed Rafi Haji Tejuddin, Branch Manager of Samima Sdn Bhd Bookstores & Stationeries, told the Bulletin that prior to the issuance of the government bonus, a number of parents had already come to the store's branches to purchase school items such as books, uniforms, shoes and stationery.
"We also offer a booking system for parents to purchase the school books so that they do not need to rush or worry if they plan to go abroad for a vacation. All they need to do is provide us with their booklist and a deposit, and we try our best to prepare all the books. We have already received more than 700 bookings from customers," he added.
In conjunction with the back-to-school promotion, many bookstores are offering special promotions and discounts on items such as school bags, stationery and shoes. However, textbooks and workbooks are excluded from this promotion as their prices are controlled by the Ministry of Education, he said.
"To meet the demand for school books, we have ordered more from our supplier so that parents will not have to rush here and there to buy the items on their lists. At our stores, almost all of the (items of the) booklists are available. Some books such as Pendidikan Pencegahan Rasuah (Corruption Prevention Education) are still in the printing process, but we hope that the book will be available at our bookstores before school starts."
He added that Samima's vision is to be a one-stop bookstore which meets all the needs of customers' school and office needs under one roof. "Our 30 years of experience have made us among the most prominent bookstore in the Sultanate and this is evident with more than 15,000 likes that we got on our Facebook fanpage," he shared.
In an interview with the Bulletin, Purchasing Manager of Bismi Trading Company of Gadong Branch, Rahman, said that Bismi Trading Company has been well-prepared for the back-to-school preparations since the month of October.
The company has also received coupons issued by Pengiran Muda Mahkota Al-Muhtadee Billah Fund for Orphans (DANA), worth $70 each, which helps orphans to buy school stationeries.
"About 99 per cent of the books which are sought by parents and students will be available in the shops before the commencement of the school session next year. Although, we do not have a booking system, we assure that we have enough stock," he added.
He confirmed that two books – Pendidikan Pencegahan Rasuah (Corruption Prevention Education) for Year 1 to Year 11 and Gateway to English Year 1 and Year 2 – are still being printed.
Bismi Trading Company – established in 1978 – has two branches in the capital, Gadong and Serusop, and three other branches in Tutong, Seria and Belait.

Living for ever
Isn't too clever,
Except for the Creator
But I would not slate her.
Imagine the ennui
If, our friends all gone, we
Have to stay behind
Going out of our minds.
I'd rather be mortal;
Leave this earthly portal
For afterlife unknown
I hope, not on our own.

Award-winning director and screenwriter Shandi Mitchell won the Kobzar Literary Award at a gala event in Toronto on Thursday for her debut novel, Under This Unbroken Sky. The award, presented biannually since 2006, commemorates literary work that best presents a Ukrainian Canadian theme. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, playwriting, screenwriting and young adult literature are all eligible for the $25,000 prize.
Mitchell's novel follows the Mykolayenko family as they struggle to survive Prairie life in Depression-era Canada. The jury, which consisted of Denise Chong, Nino Ricci, Randall Maggs and M.G. Vassanji, called Under This Unbroken Sky a "compelling and poignant narrative that honours the ancestry of many Canadian Ukrainians who worked for a better life during the depression era."
The other finalists were:
Mitchell, who is Ukrainian on her father's side, dedicated the award to her grandmother and to the stories she never told. "It did mean a great deal to come back to the Ukrainian community with this story. It meant a great deal to say a story that my baba could never speak aloud. Those silences are chasing generations," she said. "We are losing all our narratives, and we need to gather them."
Mitchell receives $20,000 of the purse. The remaining $5,000 will go to her publisher, Penguin Group Canada. The four remaining finalists received $1,000 each.
CBC's Close to Home spoke with Mitchell about her nomination and the Kobzar Literary Award after she was named a finalist. Listen to Mitchell's conversation with Close to Home host Carmen Klassen below:

22 Books Published In The '80s We Still Love To Read
With school back in full swing, we're getting a bit nostalgic for all the books we read as youngsters and as adults entering university or college.
Many of us loved (and still love) books that were published in the '80s — a decade that saw an incredible wealth of thought-provoking, entertaining and beautifully written literature by talented authors.
Novels such as The Color Purple, The Handmaid's Tale and Love in the Time of Cholera filled our soul while books such as Ender's Game, The Vampire Lestat and Watchmen kept us up late at night.
So, although we aren't getting any book lists from our teachers, we can remember which books we loved when we were living life in the '80s, and add them to our reading pile again.
Read on below to find out which '80s books we still love.
Matilda, by Roald Dahl Matilda is a star pupil at school who is popular with her classmates but life looks a lot different when she's at home or dealing with the school principal. Fortunately, Matilda is a resourceful, smart girl, and has a few tricks up her sleeves to deal with life's annoyances.
The Handmade's Tale, by Margaret Atwood In a dystopian future, Offred, a handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, is desperate to escape her prison — a home where she and other handmaids only exist to give birth. As she remembers her life before imprisonment — a life with her husband and daughter — she thinks about whether she can make one of the most important decisions that could have fatal consequences.
Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons A group of super heroes have fallen from grace. Meanwhile, a silent assassin is stalking the group, picking them off one-by-one as the U.S. and Russia prepare to start a nuclear war. Alan Moore's incredible graphic novel inspired thousands of fans and a movie.
The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan Four Chinese women meet up regularly in San Francisco to eat dim sum, play mahjong and talk — they call themselves The Joy Luck Club. Forty years later, their stories continue, and the connection between mother and daughter is shown in all its complexities.
Love in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall in love, but then Fermina marries a wealthy doctor. Heartbroken, Florentino engages in many affairs, but always pines for her first, true love. Then, the doctor dies, and Florentino attends the funeral. More than 50 years later, he attempts to win back Fermina.
It, by Stephen King The children felt IT; the adults didn't have a clue. Even after they moved away and grew up, the children couldn't escape IT and the terror IT wreaked on the town of Derry, Maine.
The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho A shepherd boy named Santiago travels from his home in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. During his journey, Santiago encounters a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king and an alchemist — each of whom point him in the direction of his quest. Along the way, he discovers that he maybe shouldn't try to find the physical treasure after all, but the treasure within.
The Polar Express, by Chris Van Allsburg This classic holiday book was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1986 and continues to delight fans both young and old.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, retold by Alvin Schwartz, illustrated by Stephen Gammell One of the scariest books of our childhood, Scary Stories is now a classic — albeit one that will keep you up all night with the light on.
Maus Book 1: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History, by Art Spiegelman A cartoonist attempts to tell his father's story of what life was like as a Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust, and afterwards, as a survivor. The author ends up telling his story too, a difficult task when the father and son don't have a great relationship and the son is dealing with survivor's guilt.
A Light in the Attic, by Shel Silverstein This classic book combines whimsical poetry and illustrations that both children and adults can enjoy.
The Vampire Lestat, by Anne Rice The second volume in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Lestat follows a former aristocrat who grew up in pre-revolutionary France. Now, he's a rock star in the 1980s and is searching for others just like him.
Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is a legend at Battle School, where young children are taught to play war games. But what he doesn't realize is that the games are real — an attempt to save Earth from "the buggers" — and only Ender can save them.
Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry It's 1943, in occupied Copenhagen. Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen, both 10-years-old, reminisce about life before the war, as they watch Nazi soldiers march through the streets. Ellen moves in with the Johansens after the Jews of Denmark are "relocated" and Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save her friend's life.
Lilith's Brood, by Octavia E. Butler Lilith Iyapo is resurrected by powerful beings — the Oankali — centuries after war destroys Earth. The Oankali attempt to rescue Earth by merging genetically with humans, but now, Lilith and all of humanity must share the world with aliens: their children.
Love You Forever, by Robert Munsch A beautiful story about a parent's love for their child, Love You Forever captures a universal sentiment about the bond between parents and their offspring.
The Color Purple, by Alice Walker The Pulitzer Prize winning novel follows the lives of women of colour in the southern U.S. in the 1930s. The story focuses on Cellie, a woman who grows up dealing with the rape and abuse by her father. Cellie only wants to protect her sister, Nettie, who ends up escaping to Africa. After being sold as a child bride to an older man, Cellie faces a long life of abuse and hardship.
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, by Frank Miller This instant classic shows a new, rougher Gotham City, ten years after Batman's retirement.
The Witches, by Roald Dahl Real witches are in town and they have a terrible plan to get rid of the people they hate the most: children.
The Lord God Made Them All, by James Herriot If you're an animal lover, it might be because you read James Herriot's classic book.The Yorkshire veterinarian tells heartwarming stories about animals and pets, both big and small.
Tracks, by Louise Erdrich A story about deep unrest as Indian tribes struggle to keep what little remains of their land.
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4, by Sue Townsend It's a tough life for Adrian Mole. His first love, Pandora, has left him; a neighbour seems to be seducing his mom and the BBC refuses to publish his poetry. WTF?

But what is the alternative you ask? How will you live without that drive through fast food joint, or that regular burger or steak -- or even that chicken sandwich? That choice is as individual as the animals you are eating. That choice means finding another way" a way that has been proven a more spiritually enlightening way -- a less violent way -- a healthier way and the proven path to the least possible entry into disease -- all disease. (Volpe)
A great man, T. Colin Campbell and his son Thomas, wrote a book that the world needed to read in "The China Study" after a 20-year scientific study on the consumption of animals and health/disease. It contains research that proves that eating animals causes cancer, and many other debilitating diseases. Their focus was mostly on cancer, however each and every disease common to man and their cause - is listed in these pages.
Another book that has proven through scientific study that heart disease, the number one killer of Americans can be completely avoided, as well as reversed -- yes, I said reversed -- and is Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D.'s "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" subtitled "Based on the findings of a now 20-year study first published in the American Journal of Cardiology." This wonderful physician walked away from $150,000 (each) heart surgeries, because he knew there was a better way. He found it, he published it and he has proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt that eating animals and their secretions causes heart disease and a host of other heart related diseases.
John Robbins, who is the man that changed my life for the better has written extensively on his research of longevity in human beings, in "Healthy at 100" evidencing the proper diet for health in "The Food Revolution" as well as his best seller "Diet for a New America" which not only delves deeply into the health benefits of a vegan diet, but also the emotional, loving and human life saving abilities of all animals.
The proof of health in relation to diet is endless, truly, and bypassing animal products for ethical, moral and emotional reasons are admirable motives, but now the proof is in -- refraining from eating animals or their secretions also has beneficial health reasons.
The reason for eating animals or their products is becoming less and less of a reasonable argument, especially with the knowledge that there are not any legitimate laws to protect these innocent beings who feel pain both physically and emotionally - from worker abuse, feed abuse, improper caging or neglect. The fact that the enormous numbers of slaughtered animals daily prove that there cannot possibly be "humane' treatment should be reason enough to abstain. Those who love animals and care about cruelty abstain for those reasons alone -- and if those reasons aren't sufficient, health is also a benefit of nonparticipation. These animals need your help, your love and consideration. Going vegan is the only compassionate choice.

Are you volunteering to take the driving seat? As you know, apr_dbd already supports dynamic loading of drivers. I'm not sure whether the model used there will generalise usefully to other apr_util modules, or whether we'd be better off starting from scratch. Principal goal: make everything that links external libraries dynamic. So that's things like expat, iconv, and the dbms, as well as DBD. Does anything in apr (not apr-util) want dynamic loading? Something in there is linking libcrypt: is that apr_random, and would that be better-placed in apr_util and dlloaded? -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/

Numbness and Free Falling
The doctor frowned.
"I thought you said you realized your mistake. Certainly you'd know why you were down?"
"Well, there's that, but sometimes I'd wake up, and it felt as though my heart were being sawn in half.. I'd try to find something that fit the pain, but nothing did. Nothing at all…"
The doctor stroked his chin, fascinated.
"Nothing at all, you say? Perhaps you were beginning to feel numb. You said that you'd shut out your friends subconciously, and doing so would've supposedly taken the 'right side of your heart', as you put it."
Nathaniel took a long, deep breath.
"I don't know… the only thing that seemed to satisfy this.. feeling, if you can call it that, was cutting.."
"And when did you first start this?"
The boy sighed, his face reflecting the utmost bleak expression.
"When I read something a friend of mine wrote…"
"And what did they write?"
"It's sad that the same friend who brought me so much joy is the same friend who's bringing me so many tears..."
Nathaniel's expression was distraught, torn in the most painful way the doctor had ever seen.
"This.. had a large impact on you?"
"Yes… the moment the words caught my eyes, I knew it was about me. My friend had been talking to me earlier, and I was trying to explain my hurt feelings to her. She tried her best to make me feel better, but when I told her nothing helped, she blamed me for being selfish… and I had been, in a way. Seeing what she wrote just kinda pushed me over the edge…"
"To cutting." the doctor stated, and Nathaniel sighed in despair.
"Yes… and almost every night since has been the same.. every day is a replay of the last. Even when I get out to do something with friends, the pain is only pushed to the back of my mind. When I'm by myself again, the pain comes rushing back, almost worse than before… it's like a never-ending free fall…"
"And what's at the bottom of this free fall?"
Nathaniel didn't answer, but the doctor was told quite enough by the tear running down his cheek.

THE Obama administration's plan to fix the US banking system is destined to fail because the programmes have been designed to help Wall Street rather than create a viable financial system, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said.
'All the ingredients they have so far are weak, and there are several missing ingredients,' Professor Stiglitz said. The people who designed the plans are 'either in the pocket of the banks or they're incompetent'.
The Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, isn't large enough to recapitalise the banking system, and the administration hasn't been direct in addressing that shortfall, he said. Prof Stiglitz said there are conflicts of interest at the White House because some of Mr Obama's advisers have close ties to Wall Street.
'We don't have enough money, they don't want to go back to Congress, and they don't want to do it in an open way and they don't want to get control' of the banks, a set of constraints that will guarantee failure, Prof Stiglitz said.
The return to taxpayers from the TARP is as low as 25 cents on the US dollar, he said. 'The bank restructuring has been an absolute mess.'
Rather than continually buying small stakes in banks, weaker banks should be put through a receivership where the shareholders of the banks are wiped out and the bondholders become the shareholders, using taxpayer money to keep the institutions functioning, he said.
Prof Stiglitz, 66, won the Nobel in 2001 for showing that markets are inefficient when all parties in a transaction don't have equal access to critical information, which is most of the time. The Public-Private Investment Program, PPIP, designed to buy bad assets from banks, 'is a really bad programme', Prof Stiglitz said. It won't accomplish the administration's goal of establishing a price for illiquid assets clogging banks' balance sheets, and instead will enrich investors while sticking taxpayers with huge losses. 'You're really bailing out the shareholders and the bondholders,' he said. 'Some of the people likely to be involved in this, like Pimco, are big bondholders,' he said, referring to Pacific Investment Management Co, a bond investment firm in Newport Beach, California. -- Bloomberg

Volkswagen aggressively targeting Toyota's light truck market in Latin America
From the Volkswagen Auto Group's Latin American headquarters in Miami, the German auto giant is planning the conquest of the lower latitudes south of the U.S. border, according to a recent post on MiamiHerald.com by Joseph A. Mann Jr.
"Toyota has been the owner of the light commercial vehicle market in Latin America for many years, but we are making a major effort to gain market share," reportedly stated Fernando Badia, vice president of operations at the site, in charge of efforts to encroach on the territory of its Asian and American competitors.
This fearless charge into the valley of sales is lead by Volkswagen's four-door, diesel-powered Amarok pick-up truck, considered a competent combatant in the scrimmage for market share against Toyota's Hilux pick-up.
The various models of the Hilux are not available in the U.S. but sell well in South and Central America. However, the pick-ups were once sold in the U.S. under different names, but nothing the company sells in the U.S. today has any DNA from the Hilux series.
In Latin America Toyota also sells the HiAce, which can be configured as a minivan, commercial van, pick-up, taxi or ambulance, along with 4runners and RAV4 models. Toyota sold 101,000 light trucks, in the countries VW is currently targeting, during 2011 not including SUVs.
VW is also sending four other light commercial vehicles into the fray – in the form of the T5 van, the bigger Crafter commercial van, the Touran-derived Caddy and the smaller Gol-based Saveiro.
Since locating a Latin American aimed regional office in Miami during 2009, VW Commercial Vehicles has worked to establish a functional group of importers, retailers and service providers throughout the expansive region, beginning with the existing VW dealership network. Introducing the lineup of light trucks and commercial vehicles, they have boosted group sales to nearly 4.5 percent of the market, according to Badia.
"We started out with sales of 7,152 vehicles in 2009," Badia said, "and last year we sold 17,229. In the first quarter of 2012, our light commercial vehicles sales are up 30 percent from last year. Our goal is to reach a 10 percent market share by 2018."
VW's best performance so far has been in Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay and Peru. Their top seller is the Amarok light truck, a pick-up fabricated in an Argentine plant in General Pacheco, a city in Tigre County, in the province of Buenos Aires.
Though only slightly over a third of the U.S. market, 5.7 million vehicles were sold in the region last year. VW thinks it can foster significant growth in light trucks and vans – especially as most of these vehicles have variants attractive to families and non-commercial uses. Even though the market in Latin America is currently growing more slowly than it recently has, as new businesses emerge in both urban and rural areas, VW sees opportunity as dispensable income increases.

Flora: Caught on CameraMature
One moment I'm looking at Matthew and the next thing I know, I'm in a whole different place with some long haired idiot.
This is definitely not part of my job description.
"You aren't being serious are you?" I asked. "This is some joke surely."
"I'm a little busy right now." he muttered before bobbing down behind the camera.
"Maybe it's some elaborate theme park." I suggested, looking around the deserted environment.
"Do you really believe that?" he asked, appearing on my shoulder.
"Well." I muttered slowly. "I don't know. What other explanation is there?"
"Time travel." he said with a grin. "With a little bit of space travel involved as well. Isn't it fascinating?"
He meandered over to the camera, pulling a wand out of his pocket and aiming it at the camera. Sparks flew everywhere. He backed away before sighing and repeating his actions.
"Don't you think that's a bad idea?" I asked, stepping back.
"Probably." he muttered and I could tell that he was still smiling.
This time there were a lot more sparks and a minor explosion that sent me flying backwards. As I landed, I groaned and picked myself up and rubbed my head. The headache was quite bad but I put it behind me.
I got up and found another camera. I looked straight into the lens and for a moment I thought I saw someone on the other end but the face disappeared.
That man - he must have been at the heart of the explosion. I turned to him - he was fine, stood there in some beam of light.
"Tampering with studio equipment is a serious offence. You shall be prosecuted as a result." A voice from the camera shouted ominously.
"Ah." He turned in the column of energy to look at me. "You were right. You couldn't help me could you?"
"What do I do?" I asked before thinking about what I had said. Why was I helping him? I suppose it was because he seemed to know what he was doing.
"Something outrageous." he said with a boyish grin.
"Pardon?" My eyes widened and I looked at him, unsure what he meant.
"Something to get their attention." He nodded his head towards the other camera. "Absolutely anything."
I looked at the camera and smiled. "Got it." I nodded to him before turning back to the camera. I pressed my face up to the lens and smiled. "You want outrageous?" I asked the camera before stepping back to the man. He was hovering slightly so I grabbed his left leg and pulled him down so we were face to face. "Nothing personal." I whispered to him before pulling him into a passionate kiss.
He backed away as soon as he realised what I was doing. "Not what I had in mind." he hissed.
I looked into the camera. "If you want more where that came from then you better let him go."
"On seconds thoughts." he whispered seconds before being releasing and dropping to the floor. I smiled but then I felt something pressing into my back.
Not good.

Hyundai Sonata Unintentded Acceleration Dash Cam Video is Frightening
Unintended acceleration is back, this time involving a Hyundai instead of a Toyota. At least that's what it looks like in a video uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday that has already almost gathered a million views.
Recorded on a dash cam, the video shows a Hyundai YF Sonata at a traffic light behind another Hyundai. Then, seemingly out of nowhere the car starts speeding up. Before long it's flying through a crowded street at more than 117 km/h (72 mph) according to what the camera shows on the top of the screen.
As would be expected, it isn't long before the driver runs out of room to steer around the other cars and violently rear-ends someone.
The driver is blaming unintended acceleration for the incident and it would seem hard to argue against it. Then again, it seems a little fishy that there just happened to be a dash cam on board and running at the time. The question then becomes whether or not anyone would really risk their life like that, and why?

Other highlights from the report include:
- Madawaska Maliseet First Nation in New Brunswick, is building the Grey Rock Power Centre - a roadside, multifaceted, commercial power centre that is expected to create up to 300 jobs for the band and surrounding community in a region hit hard by the closure of the pulp and paper mills. In fact, Chief Bernard says her Council went out of their way to ensure that 98 per cent of the investment would be spent locally, thanks, in part, to a RBC financing loan.
- Ontario's Couchiching First Nation, home to more than 2,000 band members, has seen dramatic changes in recent years. From the addition of a championship golf course to a new 400-seat arena that opened in April of this year, the reserve has built revenue-generating facilities that provide band members with employment opportunities and access to modern recreation amenities, funded, in part, by RBC.

Recent Wayne County news
A Wayne County man pleaded guilty to a felony on Friday for firing a handgun at a passing car on the Casey Highway earlier this year.
Daniel James Parliament Jr. of Beach Lake pleaded guilty to aggravated assault at a hearing before Lackawanna County Judge Michael J. Barrasse on Friday.
The plea means Mr. Parliament faces a maximum 10 years in state prison, though his sentence will likely not reach that statutory cap.
The plea, however, validates state police's case that Mr. Parliament pulled the trigger on a 9mm pistol and fired one bullet at a car that passed him on the Casey Highway near the Jessup exit on March 6.
The driver of the car, Anthony Darko of Clarks Summit, was not injured.
At the hearing, Judge Barrasse asked Mr. Parliament if he knew Mr. Darko.
"He did not know the victim at all," said Mr. Parliament's attorney Lee Krause.
Jennifer McCambridge, a deputy district attorney and the case prosecutor, said Mr. Parliament's motivation to fire the gun was "road rage."
A sentencing date was not announced.
State police also charged Mr. Parliament with recklessly endangering another person, which was later dropped.

|Working with version ranges
|Tue, 12 Jun 2007 12:27:09 GMT
The current ivy implementation can use version ranges in its dependency. When using a range ivy search for the latest revision available in the repository that will match the range. (Correct me if I'm wrong!). Shouldn't ivy take into account the other dependencies as well? For example, if we have A depending on C version [1.0,3.0[, and A depending B which depends on V version 1.5. The current implementation will return the latest available revision contained in [1.0,3.0[. Shouldn't ivy return the revision 1.5, even if there are 2.1 in the repository? (If it is already possible to do that, tell me how). Also, I'm wondering if it wouldn't make sense to take the first available version. Indeed if I say that my modules requires 1.+, I think it's better to compile with a 1.0 version. Indeed, the probability is bigger that a version compiled/tested with 1.0 works also with a 1.1 than the opposite (a version compiled/tested with 1.1 working with a 1.0). Also when we publish, if we want to fix the published dependencies, I'm wondering if it wouldn't not be better to publish 1.0, instead of 1.x (where x is the highest number available when we make the build). WDYT? Gilles

Forex: EUR/USD consolidating, in range 1.4410-1.4390
FXstreet.com (London) - EUR/USD has traded in a tight 20 pips range between 1.4410 and 1.4390 this session. Greeces fiscal woes deepen as the unreliability of Greece data on the deficit has burdened the pair. Pair currently quoting at 1.4396, still nearly 10 pips from the opening price.
Credit worries are still linger, and eyes this year will focus on the development and action of the respective government for many Eurostates including Spain, Portugal, Sweden and in particular Greece.
Pair currently consolidating but likely to drift to downside, as repeated revision of deficit numbers from Greece are really generating panic. The series of major company reports will be the next key signs on the global recovery road for investors.
For primary resistance we take 1.4420, and for support should downside find momentum again, we look at 1.4380 (previous session low) for the pair to extend bearish trend.

Paralysis of CrossFit competitor elicits outpouring, concern over safety
At just before 1:00 p.m. on Jan. 11, when Kevin Ogar crouched and gripped the Olympic barbell at the "OC Throwdown" in Orange County, Calif., he was one of the top CrossFit competitors in the world. Two seconds later he was a paraplegic.
Within moments of the failed snatch lift that changed Ogar's life -- and may yet change CrossFit, the popular fitness program in which explosive, technique-specific Olympic lifts are performed with minimal rest in conjunction with other exhausting movements -- a flood of online speculation and sympathy crashed through the CrossFit community like a tsunami striking dry land. Was Ogar's injury the result of too much weight and not enough rest? As surely as CrossFit has created legions of stronger, healthier people, it has also contributed to scores of injuries and ER visits related to the demands it places on participants. In the immediate aftermath of Ogar's injury, a vocal contingent of CrossFitters and critics alike felt that the increasing weight and reps and never-ending quest for PRs (personal records) had finally been stonewalled by poor safety measures and the human body's finite capacity for work.
Ogar, 28, had been performing lifts like the snatch and clean-and-jerk for at least seven years, including his rugby career at the University of Missouri. He had done thousands of the handstand pushups and wall balls and box jumps and heavy squats that CrossFit had thrown at him, too, and he'd done them under constraints of time and fatigue, without serious mishap. He was competing in the OC Throwdown to prepare for the CrossFit Games, a months-long tournament that culminates with the Super Bowl of the sport, held at the Stub Hub Center near Los Angeles.
Ogar began that Sunday with a three-mile run in which each runner held two kettlebells during the first mile, one during the second mile and none during the third. He had three or four hours' rest after that, according to his friend Matt Hatchcock, himself an elite CrossFitter and owner of the Denver-area gym where he and Ogar train and coach together. Hathcock and Ogar focused on Ogar's recovery after the weighted run, as they do during every rest period. Ogar was mildly fatigued -- everyone was -- but neither man was concerned headed into the snatch. The weight would be 240 pounds -- impossible for 99 percent of the population but old hat for Ogar. It was about 80 percent of his personal record. He performed the lift twice in the warmup area before heading to the competition platform.
The lift that injured him looked fine until the moment Ogar held the bar over his head, elbows locked, in a low squat. But then he moved slightly backward and -- instead of "bailing" (ditching the bar and getting out of the way, as he'd done countless times before) -- dropped the bar on his upper spine with grotesque force, severing his spinal cord the way a dull machete chops sugarcane. There was reportedly no medical supervision on hand. Paramedics took approximately 15 minutes to arrive. Word of the injury leaked onto the web after Ogar was rushed to the hospital in Santa Ana, online trickles decrying the dangers of CrossFit and the unrealistic demands it places on participants. Sympathy for Ogar, which was louder and larger than the criticisms, came largely because of the haunting words "severed spinal cord" and the five-second YouTube video of the injury, which left many viewers wishing they hadn't clicked on it.
Nine days and two surgeries later, Ogar's spine is held together by a subdermal scaffolding of titanium and screws. He has not moved below his trunk since the accident, which he does not remember. He is sedated, but when awake shows heavy-lidded grins and surprising optimism. His hospital room in California, his cell phone, and countless CrossFit websites filled with messages of love, support and sympathy last week for the young man whose inspirational coaching style and gentle optimism belied his gruff, Viking-like appearance and made him a favorite at his friend Matt's CrossFit Unbroken gym. Ogar's family and closest friends remained by his bedside in southern California, including Hathcock, whose camera shot the video. "It happened really fast," Hathcock told SI.com "At first I thought it was any other kind of bail, so my reaction wasn't anything crazy." Once he saw the severity of the injury, however, Hathcock's mind moved to the weight plates that were stacked behind Ogar when he began his lift.
They should not have been there. Rule No.1 in facilities where Olympic lifts are performed is that the lifting area and its surroundings should be free of clutter. The role that those errant plates may have played in Ogar's injury will likely be explored in court, but Hathcock believes that Ogar's spine withstood the initial impact of the bar falling on his upper back before the bar bounced off the plates and struck Ogar at his T-10 and T-11 vertebrae, where his spinal cord snapped. The video is inconclusive as to whether the bar struck the plates, but it clearly hit Ogar's upper back on its initial descent. It appeared to hit him far closer to his T-1 vertebrae (between his shoulderblades) than his T-10 (low mid-back), though. So why the injury at T-10?
Ogar's surgeon, neurotraumatic specialist Dr. Mohsin Shah, noted that "flexion-distraction" injuries like Ogar's, in which the spine is struck or bent violently, often defy traditional explanation. "It's like breaking a popsicle stick," Shah said. "The point where it snaps isn't always the point where the most pressure is applied." Injuries like Ogar's, Shah added, are almost exclusively the result of high-speed car or motorcycle crashes. "This is the most freakish event I've witnessed," said the 15-year veteran of spinal trauma.
While the mechanics of what happened outside Ogar's body remain uncertain, what happened on the inside is clear and final. Now is not the time to ask Ogar why he dropped the bar the way he did, the error that betrayed years of training and catalyzed the tragedy that unfolds in those pixelated five seconds. Despite the chilling prognosis, Ogar, Shah, Hathcock, and Ogar's other supporters believe firmly that CrossFit Inc. (which has responded to past criticisms of its injury issues with venom) is not to blame.
Instead, Hathcock instead points to the six-figure sum that has been raised online to help his friend manage the lifelong medical gauntlet that lies ahead. Although the OC Throwdown is not a CrossFit-sanctioned event, CrossFit Inc. made a "significant contribution" to that fund. (Ogar did not have medical insurance.) CrossFit spokesman Russell Berger expressed sadness at the injury "to one of our own" and cited Ogar's years of lifting experience and his freshness going into the snatch in accepting the consensus: "By every indication this was just an unfortunate freak accident." Still, Berger said that the incident will inspire the company "to pay even closer attention to our already strict safety measures" at CrossFit Inc. events.
"This isn't about blaming CrossFit or the OC Throwdown or anyone else," Hathcock says. "This is about how the CrossFit community came together so quickly and so unconditionally."
Despite that largesse, there remain several unignorable layers of sorrow. "I understand there has been an outpouring on social media about Kevin one day regaining the ability to walk," said Dr. Shah. "Unfortunately that's just not the medical reality."
The deepest anguish, of course, will continue to be felt by Ogar, whose reaction to the unthinkable has so far been nothing short of inspiring. He flew home to Colorado 11 days after the incident to begin a grueling rehabilitation period that will likely fill the rest of his life. The mystery of whether he has emotionally and psychologically accepted his condition is known only to him. "I broke the news to him in the ER," Shah recalled. "He is a remarkably strong person. He was in control until that moment, but he broke down. Beyond the operations themselves, that was most difficult part of this for me."

Musical bubbly for the toast of Sydney
THE last time Keeping Posted joined Australian Consul-General, Dr Jocelyn Chey, on the patio of her spacious home was to raise a hopeful glass of champagne for Sydney's 2000 Olympics bid.
Last night we were back at Dr Chey's abode with its sweeping views of Deep Water Bay to rejoice over a mission accomplished - with a little bit of help from Perth, or at least the Perth Children's Choir.
With a beaming smile that would probably take surgery to remove, Dr Chey told us the celebrations would go on for the next few months (which should greatly interest the neighbours!).
Then telling us that she's ''game for most things'' Dr Chey leaped up and joined the kids - all aged between seven and 13 - in rendering Advance Australia Fair and Waltzing Matilda - although being one of the non-Aussies present, Keeping Posted had to seek guidance as to which one was the official national anthem.
The Perth Children's Choir, under its Filipino musical director, David Yap, is in town to perform at the Cultural Centre on Sunday.
But while they enjoyed being at Dr Chey's, two of them, Laura Hutchinson and Rameen Evans told us they were really looking forward to visiting Ocean Park.
Her eyes lighting up with excitement, Laura said: ''We've been out on a boat and we've visited a market. Added Rameen, taking on a Rambo pose: ''I bought a two-barrel gun.'' But the twosome went quickly silent when one of their chaperones interjected that they'll also be doing three hours of choir practice every morning while in Hong Kong.
Incidentally, being the consummate diplomat, Dr Chey was willing to share around some of the kudos of Australia hosting the first Games of the millenium.
''We don't see it as just something awarded to Australia,'' she explained. ''We believe it is an honour to be shared with the whole Asia-Pacific region.'' By now the choir was singing excerpts from The Sound Of Music, and as the first notes of Climb Every Mountain sounded there was no holding Dr Chey - a member of the Hong Kong Oratorial Society - back.
''Do you know something,'' she told us between pauses for breath. ''When I was attached to our Beijing embassy during the Cultural Revolution we were a bit perplexed when a visiting choir from Australia were specifically asked to include music from the Sound of Music in their repertoire. We later found out that was because it was Madame Mao's favourite musical.''

Hang in there things will have to improve, it just takes time.
This is a discussion on Looks like we aren't headed back to Memphis just yet within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I had two jobs interested in me. The first offered me the job but, because of salary and medical insurance concerns, I had to turn ...
I had two jobs interested in me. The first offered me the job but, because of salary and medical insurance concerns, I had to turn it down. It killed me to do so too because when we lived there, this was the exact job that I had always wanted. It was at a competitor, but not far from where I was working. But, I just couldn't do it for the money they offered and the real killer was the medical insurance. It wouldn't start until the first of the month following a full 30 days on the job. One of our children has a medical condition that could worsen, requiring surgery, at any time. So being without insurance for what could be almost 2 months was not an option and they would not make any special considerations for me. So, it was a no-go.
Today, I had a phone interview for the second job that was interested in me. It was a long shot because the company is fairly small and I doubt they could pay any serious relocation package. But the point is most likely moot anyway as I just got done with what has to be the worst phone interview performance I have ever had. I did terrible. Not to make an excuse but I was at work until 3am last night/this morning and I am still beat. That may have played a roll. But I am sure that I have been scratched off that list.
So it looks like we are stuck in Indiana for the foreseeable future. Such is life. We will survive.
At least my wife landed a good job that she really likes recently.
Looks like we are stuck in Indiana still. It could be worse I'm sure.

FYI: When you leave a job your company is required to allow you access to COBRA for up to 18 months. COBRA is continuation of your current medical benefits. You will most likely have to pay the full premium (cover the company's part as well as your own). You also have 60 days from termination to elect to use COBRA. You can wait to see if you have a medical necesity to elect COBRA within that 60 days. However, since your son has a pre-exisiting condition, you probabaly would want to use COBRA for the entire gap.

Thanks phreddy. Yes, we researched COBRA and decided that with the cost of moving, setting up a new residence and everything else that goes along with relocating (we did it just a year ago after all) that we just can't afford the move at this time.
Like I said though, it could be worse. We'll be fine. We both have jobs, the kids have friends, we have a home. In reality, other than it not being where we want to live and hating paying state and county income taxes (and man, do those county income taxes really burn my butt) we don't have much to complain about.
