User:Benmachine/hasktag bug

Revision as of 22:12, 4 September 2012 by Benmachine (Talk | contribs)
Should more properly be called "hasktag bugs" now, but whatever.
1 Paragraphs
Use of the tag seems to merge consecutive paragraphs:Here is a paragraph with
in it. Here is another, distinct paragraph, with more
in it.
Here is a paragraph with no code.
2 Opening comments without closing them
When you open a comment inside <hask> tags without closing it, the parser breaks. Observe:Oh no:
I broke it!
Here's some nicely-formatted code:
id :: a -> a id x = const x x const :: a -> b -> a const x _ = id x
which is now ruined. Interestingly this text is fine.Perhaps it's only paragraphs with
code that are broken. Closing comments on their own inside comments seem to have no effect:
this is not fixed
3 The problem
doesn't even stop at section boundaries:
error :: String -> a error str = error (error str)

With active rosters growing from 25 to 40, September has long been a month for rookies to get their feet wet in the big leagues. Since Sunday, several high-profile prospects have already been promoted to the majors.
Below is a list of the top-10 prospects added to rosters this month. I have defined prospects as players who still have rookie eligibility. In this list, I also included one player (Mike Zunino) whose DL stint ended on Sept. 1, as it wasn't a coincidence he was activated on the day rosters expanded.
Other recent rankings: Top 50 for 2014 MLB Draft & Top 50 MLB Prospects
1. Mike Zunino, C, Mariners
Zunino is a guy that it is hard to get excited about in the first game you see him, as some scouts don't see any plus tools. But after a few games he grows on you. He has four above-average tools and moves well for a catcher, with some scouts handing out a few plus grades. He performed better in the minors than most scouts thought he would and hung in there earlier this year when he was rushed before he was ready for the big leagues. He made his major league debut on June 12 and played in 30 games, hitting .235 with two homers and 10 RBI before landing on the disabled list with a broken hamate bone. Activated on Sept. 1, his power may take a little time to come back from the injury, but the upside is an above-average, everyday catcher, which is hard to find in the minors.
2. Kevin Gausman, RHP, Orioles
Gausman was hit around some earlier in the year in his first taste of the big leagues, but it didn't affect his ranking as he just got squared up a few times more than normal with some bad flyball luck. The 6-foot-4 righty has an easy plus fastball/changeup combo and has been making strides with a slider to give him a third above-average pitch. With that third pitch, he has a No. 2-starter upside.
3. Carlos Martinez, RHP, Cardinals
Martinez is an easy pitcher to scout as his strengths and weaknesses show pretty quickly. His fastball is regularly in the upper 90s and he backs it up with a plus curveball. His size (6-0/165 pounds) is a concern, however, and his changeup and command will vary start to start. He's only 21, so there's plenty of time to improve. Future closer looks like the floor for his potential, barring injury.
4. Michael Wacha, RHP, Cardinals
Wacha checks a lot of boxes for what scouts look for in a potential mid-rotation arm. He has the size (6-6/200), a solid delivery and at least average command along with three above-average pitches that all flash plus potential at times. His fastball can straighten out and elevate due to his long limbs, but Wacha is already close to reaching his potential.
5. Nick Castellanos, RF, Tigers
Castellanos was a favorite of scouts in high school and early in the minors as he had the rare athleticism and bat control to hit almost any pitch, while also having the size (6-4/210) to project power coming down the road. While he has above-average raw power, that power hasn't shown up in games as much as scouts hoped it would and he wasn't able to stick at third base. Castellanos is still only 21, so he has time to improve.
6. Erik Johnson, RHP, White Sox
Johnson is an under-the-radar prospect from one of the worst farm systems in baseball. He has quietly improved each year after going in the second round in 2011 and has a good chance to be a solid mid-rotation starter. His heavy low-90's sinker and above-average slider and command give him all the elements to succeed early and be an above-average starter for the struggling White Sox.
7. Michael Choice, RF, A's
The book on Choice when he went 10th overall in 2010 out of UT-Arlington was that he checked all of the boxes for a potential above-average right fielder, but he may not make enough contact for it to matter. As it turned out, Choice is a good enough athlete that he was able to make the adjustments he needed to get his K-rate under control in the upper minors and let his above-average tools play.
8. Billy Hamilton, CF, Reds
Scout.com has been lower than the industry on ranking Hamilton, feeling he's only a one-dimensional speed demon. His performance has regressed at the upper levels to the point where most scouts are in agreement about his upside. Pitchers with advanced stuff give him enough problems that he's making weaker contact in Triple-A and may be more of a role player in the big leagues. Hamilton is also one of the fastest players in the game, so he is still a player to watch.
9. James Paxton, LHP, Mariners
Paxton is a guy scouts really want to like. He is a big lefty (6-4/220) who will flash a plus fastball/curveball combo on his good days, but his changeup and command are both average at best. He turns 25 this offseason and is starting to look more like a No. 4 starter or late-inning reliever, but there's still mid-rotation upside if he can put it all together.
10. Jon Schoop, 2B, Orioles
Only 21, Schoop has been very young for his level the last few years, excusing his league-average performances since his Low-A breakout season. He has a physical build (6-1/195), above-average raw power, the ability to play multiple infield positions and solid feel at the plate. All the elements are there, but it might take a few years to all come together.
Bonus Names: Matt Davidson, 3B & Chris Owings, SS, Diamondbacks
After this article was posted, Arizona called up the two top prospects in the upper levels of their system, both with everyday potential and limited risk that would've put them on the tail end of this list. Davidson is a bigger guy that will move to right field or first base down the road but has 20-25 home run power and should hit .260 or .270. Owings has big bat speed, above average foot speed and the ability to stick at short but his lack of plate discipline and size limit his upside.

- Great coat of substance Review by Ivan
- This is a big, serious coat. Heavy. Thick hide. Breaking in well. Makes a statement. I don't want to take the coat off! Good work, Shaul and team. Only comment is that I wonder if the buttons themselves and how they are sewn on is sturdy enough for hide this thick and tough. But no problems thus far . . . (Posted on 3/11/2013)

Ronald E. Wilson and Christopher D. Maxwell, eds.
Volume 8, Number 4, Fall 2007
Geographic profiling is an emerging investigative technique
that combines criminological theory, technology, and patrol
strategy to help law enforcement identify and locate serial
offenders. Using information from a series of related crimes,
a geographic profiler analyzes the location of each crime to
identify where an offender most likely lives, works, or
spends time.
This technique is now at the center of an important debate
that asks: Is geographic profiling effective? What school
of thought and approach should be emphasized and applied?
Edited by Ron Wilson, who manages the National Institute of
Justice's Mapping and Analysis for Public Safety Program
and Data Resources, and Chris Maxwell, director of the
National Archive of Criminal Justice Data at the University
of Michigan, this special issue of Police Practice and
Research explores topics critical to this debate,
The issue also reviews books on geographic profiling. For

Chris Paul remembers what it was like when the Clippers weren't a competitive team and Staples Center wasn't filled to capacity and the building wasn't electric from the excitement generated by close to 20,000 fans night after night after night.
"It was just a different mindset when you came here to town," Paul said. "You felt like you were going to get a win. You felt like you could do whatever the night before and still be ready for the game. I don't know (what they're saying now). I don't know. I don't ask."
Thanks to Paul and his Clippers teammates, Staples Center has become a difficult place for opponents to play. After all, the Clippers won 12 in a row, a franchise record, on their home court before facing the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.
The Clippers were 17-3 at home going into the game against the Mavericks, tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the league's best record.
"It starts with our fans," said Paul, who is in his second season with the Clippers after six years with the New Orleans Hornets. "We feed off their energy. I think it's something you build during the regular season and then when it comes to the playoffs, it's a force to be reckoned with.
"Yeah, no question, we want to get it even more loud and crazy. We want other teams to know that they have our crowd to deal with, not in a bad way. We want other teams to deal with our crowd when they come to town."
The Clippers' success on the court has translated to success at the box office. They went into Wednesday with 70 consecutive sellouts, dating to Feb. 2, 2011.
"We're one of the best shows in town right now," forward Lamar Odom said.
And what are visitors to Staples Center saying now about playing the Clippers?
"When this building turns into the Clippers building, it's probably my second-favorite place to play after (Madison Square Garden)," Lakers superstar guard Kobe Bryant said last week. "They do a really good job and have a lot of energy in the building.
"At least when they play us, the years I've been in the league, even when they were awful, it was always a fun place to play because the fans really got into it and it was one of those city rivalry type of games. It's always been a fun place for me to play."
Hill sidelined
Because the Clippers were a league-leading 27-8 overall going into Wednesday, and because the really important games won't be played until the spring, backup forward Grant Hill sat out again because of bone bruise in his right knee. He could play Saturday against the Orlando Magic.
Or he could continue to work his way into better shape.
"He practiced (Tuesday) and there were no setbacks," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said of Hill. "It's just a couple more days of conditioning and contact to get his timing down. Obviously, he's not going to be in game condition for a while."

Brevard Swept by Mars HillMarch 9, 2013
Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados softball team was swept by the Mars Hill College Lions to open South Atlantic Conference play on Saturday afternoon, falling 4-3 and 7-3 in a doubleheader.
Mars Hill's Robyn Stanek had three hits and drove in three runs for the Lions, while Taylor Jordan and Shaundee Woosley each added a pair of RBI's for MHC. Michelle Ray drove in two runs to pace Brevard. Mars Hill improved to 9-5 overall and opens the SAC season 2-0. Brevard is now 7-14 overall and 0-2 in SAC play.
Game One: Mars Hill 4, Brevard 3
The Lions scored four unanswered runs and fended off a late Brevard rally to earn the 4-3 victory.
Taylor Morris singled with two outs in the second and came around to score on an error to put the Lions on the board. MHC added another run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Stanek to make the score 2-0.
Morris started the next Lion rally with a single to lead off the fourth. Jordan doubled in the run to make the score 3-0.
Once again, Morris started the MHC rally in the sixth with a single with the last of her three hits on the day. A sacrifice bunt by Jordan moved Morris into scoring position. Woosley's RBI-single to left-center brought in Morris to give the Lions a 4-0 lead.
Brevard rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh. A Heather Morris RBI-single cut the score to 4-1. Ray's two-run single cut the MHC lead to one, but Mars Hill's Morris was able to work out of a first and second, one out jam with a strikeout and fly out.
In addition to her three hits, Morris worked a complete game in the circle to earn the victory. She scattered five hits and struck out four to improve to 4-3 on the season.
Freshman Jamie Hrobak was tagged with the loss for BC.
Game Two: Mars Hill 7
Brittany Gibson, Ashley McCurry, Stanek, Aleshia Peek, Jordan and Woosley all had two hits to help MHC to the 7-3 victory.
Mars Hill jumped all over Brevard early with a four-run first. Stanek doubled home Gibson and McCurry with a double to get the Lions on the board. Peek added an RBI-single before Jordan doubled home Peek to make the score 4-0.
Brevard came back with two runs in the bottom of the first on RBI-singled by Emily Boykin and Brittany Tucker.
An RBI-triple by Jamie Hockaday in the top of the second made the score 5-2 in favor of the Lions.
A two-run sixth extended the Mars Hill lead to five. Woosley brought in a run with an RBI-hit, while Gibson added an RBI-single later in the inning to make the score 7-2.
Brevard added their final run in the bottom of the sixth when Tucker scored on an error.
Taylor Hussey worked six innings to keep her record perfect at 5-0 on the season. She surrendered one earned run and struck out one. Allie Carrigan pitched a scoreless seventh for MHC.
The Tornados return to action as they visit Anderson for a doubleheader on March 13th.

Bowtech BinaryCam Equalizer system
I ordered a constitution and was wondering what people are thinking so far of this new technology.
So far,I am getting nothing but a dream.
One guy had a problem with one of his limb bolts,but It could be his own doing?
I was really interested on how to accomplish a drawlength specific bow to get a 1/4 inch more.
I have a 291/4 inch draw,ordered a 29" bow plan on shooting 70% or less letoff,hope that is right with a 2 cam????.
What kind of knock travel is eliminated on these new bows with this system....?
If the timing marks are on the cams, can they be rotated equally ad still be in peak performance?
I also was wondering if theregrips was made by loesh?
Does shrwed make some to fit bowtech grips?

Not sure how to answer your other questions but I do know that shrewd does make grips for Bowtechs I have one on my Pro 40.
Good Grip
I was also wonering about the cam lean on the new system,I hear from some guy on rcherytalk that it was quite hard.

Glenny I just read an article on the Binarycam equalizer sytem, its on bowtechs website. From what I understand there is no need for cam timing it sounds like it does it itself, thus the equalizer name i guess, and it sounds like you can change the draw length a little bit with the postive stop peg the one used to adjust letoff. Although it doesnt say how much, I cannot find anything about cam lean but it does make a person wonder seeing how the cables are not attached to the limbs, but they talk that this is a good thing no limb distortion. Just what I came up with you may want to check out the article for yourself. Later
Just found out everything I could about bowtech
Went to the ATA show with our Obsession Archery proshop.
I found out there is no camlean on them to worry about.
You can twist the cables as long as you keep it in the marks,and you can twist the string up as well to give you what you need on a quarter inch.so.
I also shot all of em,man,this binary cam system is a drawing dream alright...usually there is a valley that falls out,not on this bow,it's smooth the whole way.Plus just letting down the bow when you want to is so much better than anything I have ever held.It makes me sickly happy....I am happy beleive me.
I also shot the (Bowtech)Diamond/ victory,I might buy one for hunting instead of the old glory even,man it was sweet!
Any questions?????

Shot the allegiance,man was it smoking.....
I had a 29" set @ 69 lbs. and put a 451 grain arrow in it,it said a unbeleivable 280 fps.
Shot a 345 grain arrow it said 315 fps.
That did have a whisper biscuit on there so,wow.
I like the draw,it is easy to let down,set it around 62 lbs it would be a dream I amagine in any adverse hunting conditions,and it had very little hand shock.
A sims module would do it.
I also will be shooting the old glory by this weekend and let you know the numbers on that,more than likely I will buy one of them for hunting,I just had a chance to just draw it.
The axle to axle is nice on it,around 37 1/2",but they all got alot of riser comparitive to most other bows.I set the old glory up next to a bow that had a 40 inch riser on it and they were close to being the same length.I prefer the longer ATA bows for the last 2 years,but man what a year for bowtechs.That allegiace impressed me.It gets a huntin bow of choice award for 2005.

cam lean
glenny, I have a friend with a constitution. Some guys were telling him about the cam lean they noticed on his bow at full draw. He has had me draw the bow for him to check, and the cams are leaning a little (in opposite directions). But, like he told the guys at the shoot, "check out that cam lean on the 45 yd. bag!" Very tight groups. He's not messing with it right now.
I have been shooting the constitution
I got my constitution in feb. and been shooting all the shoots spots,3d,and feild with it.
I can't say anything to discourage anyone from buying one now that I have owned one for a couple months now...it is all personal preference of course.
I love the bow,actually it is the best bow I have ever shot for competition.
If anyone has any questions or comments about the bowtech's binarycam equalizer system,I would be happy to help them out.
I will stay with the bowtech until something better comes out,of course.

I've always been naturally quite flexible and so I've taken if for granted quite a lot and maybe not stretched out as much as I should when training.
Now I'm 35 and my knees, ankles and hips/groin are pretty jacked, hampering my ability to do the things I could always do pretty easily before.
Was just wondering what kind of stretching regime people follow, particularly those of you who are a bit older. Any good stretching resources/books you could recommend would be great too!

Every single day Norman Safeground adds detection for more than 100.000 new malicious programs. This ensures excellent protection for all Norman users, but there are some important things you should do to further limit the risk of getting infected, and to get rid of any infection that might have slipped through your defenses.
If you suspect your PC to be infected, immediately run a manual virus scan.
The automatic scanner is running in the background and automatically scans all files on your PC that are accessed (read from the hard disk or other media). This prevents all known malware from infecting your PC or device. However, there will always be a small risk that malware we do not detect at the moment of infection will be able to infect your system. Such malware will usually be added to our detection database hours or days later. To detect and remove such malware it is recommended to run a scheduled scan from time to time.
Malware will often target known exploits in Windows components when attempting to infect your PC. Windows Update will notify you when new updates for your operating system are ready. It's very important that you install these updates as soon as possible.
Note: As of April 8, 2014, support and updates for Windows XP are no longer available. New, discovered exploits will thus not be patched. Norman will continue supporting this operating system for the foreseeable future, but we will not be able to keep it as safe as operating systems that are still supported by Microsoft. You should therefore consider upgrading to a more modern operating system.
Malware will often target known exploits in Java and other third party programs when attempting to infect your PC. If you see a notification from Java or other third party programs that a new update is available, install these updates as soon as possible.
There is never a guarantee against getting infected, even if you follow the advice in this article. We are always here to assist you if you should be so unlucky to get malware onto your PC or other devices. Just contact your local Norman support department, and we will do our utmost to help you get rid of the infection.

According to the Christian apologist Norman Geisler:Before we can show that Jesus rose from the dead, we need to show that He really did die. (When Skeptics Ask: A Handbook on Christian Evidences, p.120)After making this common-sense point, Geisler then proceeds to lay out eight points in support of the claim that "Jesus actually died on the cross"(the title of this sub-section of the Chapter "Questions about Jesus").Geisler's case for this claim is made on pages 120, 121, 122, and … [Read more...]

WINNIPEG, MB, Canada -- A vending machine with a novel twist is building excitement around the grand opening of the first Ikea store here.
A touchscreen display, mounted to the machine, prompts each patron to use an Allen key -- provided by an onsite Ikea representative -- to turn a bolt on the machine. The action triggers the vender to randomly dispense free candy or Ikea gift card.
The Ikea machine will move to different locations around the city, leading up to the Swedish furniture giant's grand opening in Winnipeg on Nov. 28.
The vender was developed by Dayton, OH-based Innovative Vending Solutions, whose specialty is customizing vending machines for use in novel promotional applications. A tweet-activated machine is among its many recent innovations. | SEE STORY

No Hidden Fees - No Credit Card Surcharges - Low Shipping Rates
Images shown may not be an exact representation of the actual product.You may contact us if you have questions about the exact specifications of this item.
Sharing most of the design features of our Master Hunter®, this variation features a guthook. This makes it an extremely useful tool for field dressing and opening body cavities without piercing the entrails.
Modesty seldom comes into play when we are describing how good our knives are. But in the case of the Master Hunter®, we've been unquestionably negligent in that department. So, modesty aside, we want to go on record and say, without a doubt, the Master Hunter® is the best hunting knife you can obtain at any price. It features a broad VG-1 San Mai III® blade that's been flat ground to achieve the ideal blade cross-section and edge geometry. Carefully honed to razor sharpness, its edge cuts effortlessly while its dropped point simplifies the chore of field dressing and skinning.
The spine of the blade is a full 3/16" thick to allow for the necessary strength and stiffness to field dress and skin the biggest animals like elk, moose, brown bear, and the African Dangerous Seven. The grip is specially designed to promote long use without fatigue. Made of the shock absorbent, slightly tacky feeling Kraton®, and featuring our deeply checkered surface, it positively won't slip no matter how wet or bloody your hands get. Plus, Kraton® has specially enduring advantages in that it will never rot, shrink, crack, splinter, or mildew, and is completely impervious to even the harshest weather. For safety, the Master Hunter® comes in a thick, heavy Conceal-Ex™ sheath that will accommodate just about any size belt and allow you to carry it all day without fatigue.

Levetiracetam is used in combination with other medications to treat certain types of seizures in people with epilepsy. Levetiracetam is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain.
Levetiracetam comes as a solution (liquid) and a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, with or without food. Try to take levetiracetam at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take levetiracetam exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Swallow the tablets whole; do not split, chew, or crush them.
If you are taking the oral solution, do not use a household spoon to measure your dose. You might not get the right amount of medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend a medicine dropper, spoon, cup, or syringe and to show you how to use it to measure your medication.
Your doctor may start you on a low dose of levetiracetam and gradually increase your dose, not more often than once every 2 weeks.
Levetiracetam controls epilepsy but does not cure it. Continue to take levetiracetam even if you feel well. Do not stop taking levetiracetam without talking to your doctor, even if you experience side effects such as unusual changes in behavior or mood. If you suddenly stop taking levetiracetam, your seizures may become worse. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with levetiracetam and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website ( Web Site) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking levetiracetam,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
If it has only been a few hours since the time you were scheduled to take the dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Levetiracetam may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Levetiracetam may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

By Lesli Nolen
Published November 2012
It is that time of year again when I eat a little more than I should. It is that time of year when there is more to do than there is time. It is that time of year when I become a little more frazzled than normal. Ahhh, the joys of the holidays!
Thanksgiving I love, for now. You see, I am not responsible for the turkey or the dressing. I am blessed that my husband and I still have our parents and that they still cook. I am so not ready to have the torch handed down to me yet. We usually have the customary meal on Thanksgiving—turkey, dressing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cake and pie, cookies, etc.
Now do you see why I said this is the time of year I eat more than I should? It is a time of feasting and giving thanks!
As this Thanksgiving approaches I think back to the way it began. History tell us that 102 passengers of different religious groups traveled across the ocean on a small ship seeking a new home where they could freely practice their faith, hopeful in the promise of prosperity and ownership of land in the New World. After a treacherous 66 day journey they anchored at Cape Cod. A month later the settlers, commonly known as Pilgrims, crossed the Massachusetts Bay and began the work of establishing a village at Plymouth.
Their first winter was brutal. Some of the colonists never even left the ship, later dying of disease and other ailments. Only half of the original passengers lived to see their first New England spring. It was that spring the settlers forged alliances with the Pawtuxet tribe that lasted more than a half of a century, remaining one of the sole examples of harmony between European colonist and Native Americans.
It was in November 1621, after the Pilgrims' first successful corn harvest, that Governor William Bradford organized a celebration feast and invited a group of the colony's Native American allies. This is known as America's First Thanksgiving. The festivities lasted three days and it wasn't officially a holiday. Unlike our feast today, there were no cakes, pies, etc., and I'm not even sure what their main meat for the meal was.
Again, in 1623 the Pilgrims held another feast of thanksgiving to mark the end of a long drought that had threatened the year's harvest. This prompted Governor Bradford to call for a religious fast. Days of fasting and thanksgiving became a common practice. During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress designated one or more days of thanksgiving a year, leading the way for George Washington to issue a proclamation by the national government of the United States in 1789. Later, John Adams and James Madison also held the days of thanks during their presidencies.
In 1871, New York became the first of several states to officially adopt the annual Thanksgiving holiday. It was in 1827 when magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale launched a campaign to establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday. It took 36 years, publishing articles and editorials to governors, senators, presidents and other politicians. Abraham Lincoln finally accepted her request in 1863, at the height of the Civil War, in a proclamation for all Americans to ask God to "commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife" and to "heal the wounds of the nation." Lincoln designated the final Thursday in November. It was that way until 1939, when Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday up a week in an attempt to spur retail sales during the Great Depression. With that came much opposition, so two years later he signed a bill making Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday in November. And it has been that way ever sense.
In the world today we have lost the religious side to what Thanksgiving is all about. The original Pilgrims and later Americans offered thanks for the good that had been given them. They fasted and gave thanks often. Most Thanksgivings today are heavily commercialized—it's about the food, the football, the parades, the shopping.
We have moved far away from the original concept of Thanksgiving. Sure, we might give thanks on Thanksgiving, but what about the other 364 days of the year? I can't think of a better time to stop and give thanks than right now! To be thankful for a harvest, even in the drought.
Lincoln said to ask God to be with his people and his nation. He said to ask God to be with those less fortunate, those who have suffered, those who mourn. Most importantly he said to ask God to heal the wounds of the nation! After so many years, those words couldn't be more true today.
As you sit down at the table this Thanksgiving with a feast before you, remember what those before you have done. And, give thanks today and every day!

Could it bring a collision with a comet, a deadly solar storm, or worse?
"The golden boy," they called him; a comet lighting up the sky.
Are we going to say, 'Here comes Haley's comet, let's make a regulation!
When the comet arrives, they band together and face apocalypse as a family.
They found that there are roughly 1,900 hydrogen atoms for each deuterium atom in the water on comet 67P.
A star like a comet, threatens ruin by war, and death by pestilence.
Then he went back to the telescope and picked up the comet again.
In spite of it, row upon row of houses burned with a fury that lit the whole scene with a glow that was like the comet's own.
The 1811 comet has a period of 3000 years, while that of 1844 has a period of over 10,000 years.
Should the comet strike the earth obliquely, it would glance off, and the consequences would be partial.
c.1200, from Old French comete (12c., Modern French comète), from Latin cometa, from Greek (aster) kometes, literally "long-haired (star)," from kome "hair of the head" (cf. koman "let the hair grow long"), of unknown origin. So called from resemblance of a comet's tail to streaming hair.
A celestial object that orbits the Sun along an elongated path. A comet that is not near the Sun consists only of a nucleus—a solid core of frozen water, frozen gases, and dust. When a comet comes close to the Sun, its nucleus heats up and releases a gaseous coma that surrounds the nucleus. A comet forms a tail when solar heat or wind forces dust or gas off its coma, with the tail always streaming away from the Sun. ◇ Short-period comets have orbital periods of less than 200 years and come from the region known as the Kuiper belt. Long-period comets have periods greater than 200 years and come from the Oort cloud. See more at Kuiper belt, Oort cloud. See Note at solar system.
An object that enters the inner solar system, typically in a very elongated orbit around the sun. Material is boiled off from the comet by the heat of the sun, so that a characteristic tail is formed. The path of a comet can be in the form of an ellipse or a hyperbola. If it follows a hyperbolic path, it enters the solar system once and then leaves forever. If its path is an ellipse, it stays in orbit around the sun.
Note: Comets were once believed to be omens, and their appearances in the sky were greatly feared or welcomed.
Note: The most famous comet, Comet Halley (or Halley's comet), passes close to the Earth roughly every seventy-six years, most recently in 1986.

Osho,The first time I met you, I said no to your question as to whether I had a question, and in all these eight years I have never asked any.Now my mind seems to be exploding with questions, out of which it is hard to choose any satisfying to a German perfectionist; yet I feel almost in panic - I don't want to miss that chance.Osho, why is there that constant fear of missing the train?
There are people who really do not have questions. They have a quest, but not questions. They have a thirst, a deep hunger for being and more being, but no desire for gathering and accumulating knowledge. Hence they don't have any questions.
They are the best kind of disciples.
There are other people who do not ask questions, but that does not mean that they don't have questions. They do not ask because asking a question goes against their ego. And if the ego is German, then the problem becomes more difficult.
It is not coincidental that Germany has produced great philosophers, philosophers who are ready to give answers to every question. But Germany has not produced sincere inquirers, seekers, who are thirsty for the answer. It has not created disciples; it creates only masters, and these masters are only great intellectuals, not mystics.
Germany has contributed much as far as knowledge is concerned - Hegel, Kant, Feuerbach, Karl Marx - but it has not contributed a single mystic. In the whole of history, not a single Kabir, not a single Nanak, not a single Farid - very strange, but it is not coincidental.
The German ego is ready to give the answer, whether it knows or not; but it is very reluctant to ask the question, whether it has the question or not. The same is your situation. For eight years you have been repressing, perhaps unconsciously, and there is a limit to everything. You can repress only so much, and then a point comes when you are sitting on a volcano. Now your mind is exploding with questions. From where have they come? For eight years they were not there, and suddenly out of nowhere they are almost creating in you a state of insanity - so many questions that you cannot even find which one is worthy to be asked.
You will have to look backwards. Those eight years that you kept them repressed are your responsibility. If you had allowed them to come, in those eight years you might have been completely cleansed of all questions; you might have become a tabula rasa, an innocent child.
But because to ask is to show one's ignorance, you went on repressing. And there is always a hope: somebody else here may ask it, so why expose yourself?
But remember, each person's question has a personality of its own. Even though the words may be the same, the language exactly the same, the phrasing of the question not a bit different, but because the questioner is different, it makes such a difference that it is almost unbridgeable. Each person has grown in a different way, has lived a different life, has passed through different ups and downs. You cannot find another person who has gone through the same experiences. Hence, the question may appear to be the same, but it cannot be the same.

Gastrostomy feeding tube - pumpFeeding - gastrostomy tube - pump; G-tube - pump; Gastrostomy button - pump; Bard Button - pump; MIC-KEY - pump
Your child's gastrostomy tube or "G-tube" is a special tube in your child's stomach that will help deliver food and medicines until your child can chew and swallow. Sometimes, it is replaced by a button, called a Bard Button or MIC-KEY, 3 - 8 weeks after surgery.
These feedings will help your child grow strong and healthy. Many parents have done this with good results.
You will quickly get used to feeding your child through the tube, or button. It will take about the same time as a regular feeding, around 20 - 30 minutes.
There are two ways to feed through the system: the syringe method and the gravity method. Each method is described below. Make sure you follow all of the nurse's instructions as well.
Your doctor will tell you the right mix of formula or blended feedings to use, and how often to feed your child. Have this food ready at room temperature before you start, by taking it out of the refrigerator for about 30 - 40 minutes. Do not add more formula or solid foods before you talk to your child's nurse.
Feeding bags should be changed every 24 hours. All of the equipment can be cleaned with hot, soapy water and hung to dry.
Remember to wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of germs. Take good care of yourself as well, so that you can stay calm and positive, and cope with stress.
Caring for the G-tube Site
You will clean your child's skin around the G-tube 1 - 3 times a day with mild soap and water. Try to remove any drainage or crusting on the skin and tube. Be gentle. Dry the skin well with a clean towel.
The skin should heal in 2 - 3 weeks.
Your provider may also want you to put a special absorbent pad or gauze around the G-tube site. This should be changed at least daily or if it becomes wet or soiled.
Do not use any ointments, powders or sprays around the G-tube unless told to do so by your provider.
Tips for Feeding Time with Your Child
Make sure your child is sitting up either in your arms or in a high chair.
If your child fusses or cries while feeding, pinch the tube with your fingers to stop the feeding until your child is more calm and quiet.
Feeding time is a social, happy time. Make it pleasant and fun. Your child will enjoy gentle talk and play.
Try to keep your child from pulling on the tube.
Since your child isn't using their mouth yet, your doctor will discuss with you other ways to allow your child to suck and develop mouth and jaw muscles.
Feeding Your Child Using a Feeding Pump
Gather supplies:
- Feeding pump (electronic or battery powered)
- Feeding set that matches the feeding pump (includes a feeding bag, drip chamber, roller clamp, and long tube)
- Extension set, for a Bard Button or MIC-KEY (this connects the button to the long tube on the feeding set)
Your nurse will show you the best way to use your system without getting air into the tubes. Follow these steps to feed your child:
- Wash your hands.
- Check that the formula or food is warm or room temperature by putting a few droplets on your wrist.
Follow these steps, and any steps your child's nurse gave you, to feed your child:
- Start with the feeding set, close the roller clamp and fill the feeding bag with food. If your child has a button, connect the extension set to the end of the feeding set.
- Hang the feeding bag high on a hook and squeeze the drip chamber below the bag to fill it at least half way with food.
- Open the roller clamp so that the food fills the long tube, leaving no air in the tube.
- Close the roller clamp.
- Thread the long tube through the feeding pump. Follow the directions on the pump.
- Insert the tip of the long tube into the G-tube and open the clamp. If your child has a button, open the flap and insert the tip of the extension set into the button.
- Open the roller clamp and turn the feeding pump on. Make sure the pump is set to the rate ordered by your provider.
When the feeding is done, your nurse may recommend that you add water to the bag and let the water flow through the feeding set to rinse it out.
If your child has a G-tube, clamp the G-tube and close the roller clamp before disconnecting the feeding set from the G-tube. If your child has a button, close the clamp on the feeding set, disconnect the extension set from the button, and closet the flap on the button.
The feeding bag should be changed every 24 hours. Food (formula) should not be left in the bag for more than 4 hours. So, only put 4 hours (or less) worth of food in the feeding bag at a time.
All of the equipment can be cleaned with hot, soapy water and hung to dry.
Bloating after Feeding
If your child's belly becomes hard or swollen after a feeding, try venting or "burping" the tube or button:
- Attach an empty syringe to the G-tube and unclamp it to allow air to flow out.
- Attach the extension set to the MIC-KEY button and open the tube to the air to release.
- Ask your doctor for a special decompression tube for "burping" the Bard Button.
Giving Medicines to Your Child
Sometimes you may need to give medicines to your child through the tube. Follow these guidelines:
- Try to give your child medicine before a feeding so that they work better. You may also be asked to give your child medicines on an empty stomach outside of mealtime.
- The medicine should be liquid, or finely crushed and dissolved in water, so that the tube does not get blocked. Check with your doctor or pharmacist on how to do this.
- Always flush the tube with a little water between medicines. This will make sure that all the medicine goes in the stomach and are not left in the feeding tube.
When to Call the Doctor

University to receive extensive collection of Chinese film
A collection of Chinese language films and DVDs, among the largest in North America, is being given to the University of South Carolina.
University President Harris Pastides and Dr. Yu Youxue of Beijing Language and Culture University will announce the gift to the University Libraries' Moving Image Research Collections (MIRC) at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, in Thomas Cooper Library.
Dean Dafeng Zhong of The Chinese National Film Archive and the Beijing Film Academy also will speak.
The collection, which includes more than 650 individual titles on 35 mm and 16 mm film and 1,500 DVDs of films from 1949 to the present, will enhance the university's international film holdings and teaching of Chinese culture and language, says MIRC director Dr. Mark Cooper.
University President Harris Pastides said the film collection will be a valuable tool in educating university students and furthering their understanding of China, its film industry, language, culture and political history.
"Half a century ago, China was closed to the rest of the world," Pastides said. "Now it is a global, economic power, a destination for international tourists and a hot spot for scholars and students. These films tell the story of this transformation."
The DVDs were donated by the Hanban, the international headquarters of the Confucius Institute, in cooperation with the Chinese National Film Archive and the Beijing Film Academy. The 35 mm and 16 mm films, were donated by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Washington D.C. All were the result of the efforts of the university's Confucius Institute, established last fall, the College of Arts and Sciences and MIRC.
Dr. Tan Ye, director of the Confucius Institute, says the gift of The Chinese Film Collection demonstrates a continued commitment to making the university's CI one of the nation's premiere sites for research related to Chinese culture.
"This Chinese Film Collection is one of our most important undertakings since the establishment of our CI last November," Ye says. "It would not have been possible without the strong support from the Chinese National Film Archive and the hardworking team from the University's library system and the College of Arts and Sciences."
Cooper says the films from the embassy collection are particularly valuable as they document cultural diplomacy, representing what officials of the People's Republic wanted U.S. citizens to see and know about China after formal diplomatic relations were established in 1979.
"This bridge-building donation not only brings to South Carolina key films from the People's Republic but also, as a collection, helps us to understand how China has imagined a U.S. audience for its films," Cooper says.
Films in the embassy collection include documentaries of life in China, animated films and fiction films. Among the notable fiction films are Cai Chusheng and Zheng Junli's film "The Spring River Flows East" (1947), which depicts a family's struggles during the Second Sino-Japanese War; Zie Jin's "Two Stage Sisters" (1964), described by film scholar Gina Marchetti as "particularly important to an understanding of Chinese film culture as well as socialist cinema aesthetics in general" and Zifeng Ling's "Rickshaw Boy," an internationally acclaimed 1982 film.
Documentary titles include films about the visit of the Chinese Table Tennis Team to the United States in 1972, China's wildlife, important natural and historic sites in China, including the Yangtze River headwaters and the Great Wall.
The Chinese Film Collection joins prominent international film holdings at the university. MIRC is known throughout the world for its Fox Movietone News Collection, which captures 20th-century culture and history through newsreel footage from 1919 – 1944. MIRC staff have begun to inventory the new collection and expect to complete it by next fall.

Thank you very much for your support. I also consider myself as a very strong person and I believe that it was worthy all the effort and maybe with time passing I'll be eager enough to have another baby with my family's support and love. I didn't think of counselling for helping but probably will in the next future.
Thank you

WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is the recipient of the Association of Government Accountants' (AGA) prestigious 2007 Certificate of Excellence in Accountability Reporting (CEAR), the agency today announced.
AGA's Certificate of Excellence is the highest form of recognition in federal government management reporting and recognizes outstanding accountability reporting. The award acknowledges GSA's hard work and its preparation of an excellent 2007 Performance and Accountability Report (PAR).
"This is a tremendous honor for GSA," said Administrator Lurita Doan. "Accountability and transparency in operations are two of GSA's core values and integral to our business success. This achievement further demonstrates to our customers that we are committed to handling their funding with care and attention to detail."
The AGA award program cited GSA's PAR as not only informative and concise, but unlike many documents of its type, inviting to persons without a financial background.
GSA will receive its Certificate of Excellence in Accountability Reporting at an award ceremony held Wednesday evening, May 21, 2008 at the National Press Club.

12.1.15 — Open Letter To The Community From Siddiq —
— Open Letter To The Community From Siddiq —
It's not in my nature to be a public person. I've spent my career behind the scenes developing platforms for other people to tell their stories and offer their messages to the world. When I read Psalm One's comments about our 20 year celebration this Friday, my first reaction was not to respond. I've always believed that regardless of what anyone says, the best response is to keep it moving and let my work and legacy speak for themselves. After reading her statements though, I feel I owe it to myself, my team and our community to tell my truth.
I'm proud that the label we've built from the ground is a platform for artists with a wide spectrum of identities to express themselves. We've developed a roster of diverse ethnicities, religions, languages, social/political views and genres. Along with her being a talented MC, Psalm being a woman and her sexual identity were part of what excited me about her potential as an artist. Our success with artists has been hinged on them exploring who they are as people and connecting with their audience by authentically speaking their minds.
We signed Psalm and even though she was a newer, developing artist, invested all of our time and resources into her debut album. We employed the same marketing, publicity, distribution and resources that we would on any of our major releases. Our artists offered their full support as well. Brother Ali and Ant appeared on her album and Psalm toured the country multiple times with Atmosphere and Ali. There's a family vibe between most of the cats we work with and I know Ali has opened his home to Psalm on numerous occasions when in Minneapolis.
We're an artist-driven, independent label and we only survive by our artists succeeding. What drives me personally is seeing artists grow into their own skin and find their voice. It's also the business reality that if our artists struggle with that, we don't succeed.
As her album cycle began to wind down and the audience hadn't responded like I'd hoped, it became clear that even with everything we put into the project, Psalm's album wasn't on track to recoup what we spent. My gut told me that she needed more time to find herself artistically and the level of business we were doing together wasn't sustainable. Pouring money into releasing albums on this scale and not being able to sell enough to break even would mean, not only losing the money we put up, but also that Psalm wouldn't make any money from these albums. Instead of exercising our option to release her next album, I suggested that she build off of the attention we were able to generate and take her own path for the foreseeable future. If she scaled her expenses to reflect the demand for her music, she could earn enough money to keep going. I kept the door open to keep sending me music so if anything made sense in the future, we could explore it.
I feel a sense of personal obligation for every artist I work with. Sometimes it doesn't work out like we envision it, but I try to keep communication open. I still want us to win together. It's been over six years since Psalm's business relationship with Rhymesayers ended, yet we've promoted her shows and releases, invited her to perform at Soundset and spoke several times about new music and the possibility of releasing it through Rhymesayers. In all this time, Psalm has never spoken to me about feeling uncomfortable as a woman on our label, or any disparaging words being used in regard to her sexuality. While I don't blame her for perhaps not knowing how to raise those issues, I wish she would have felt more free to do so. This isn't behavior we condone or accept and I would have welcomed the opportunity to address it with her. Psalm continues to use the Rhymesayers name and reputation to her benefit, as well as take shots at us publicly when it's of benefit to her. The timing and tone of her interview strike me as insincere. She doesn't offer any self reflection or critique. She tells the story as if she's done everything right and the label who invested in her has left her out because of her identity, and that's just not true.
Friday's concert at The Target Center is a celebration of the work we've done together for the past 20 years. It's not a retrospective of our entire catalogue and Psalm isn't the only artist who isn't on the bill. We're not deleting her from our history. Rhymesayers is built on personal relationships more than anything and the relationship with Psalm doesn't feel genuine. While I mentioned the idea of the concert to Psalm earlier this year, she was never invited or uninvited. After considering some of the interactions we've had recently including strained relationships with other artists, we opted not to have that energy in the building. Out of respect I personally called Psalm prior to announcing the show to discuss our position but got no answer or return call.
With all of that being said, the fact still remains that women are underrepresented in the world, in Hip Hop and on our label.
As president of Rhymesayers, I didn't fail Psalm One. If I've failed anyone, I failed my daughter, my nieces, all of the women we work with and our women fans who deserve to see themselves consistently represented in our life's work. It's not easy to swim against the current and be the exception in a male dominated culture. It takes an intentional commitment and a consistency that I haven't prioritized enough. I accept the challenge and welcome the reminder to make it more of a priority going forward. My people and I can do better.
We continue to increase the women representation at Soundset, partly because the community asked for it and we hear their concerns. Booking a festival is about scouting artists and balancing the major draw acts with up-and-coming voices that deserve to be heard. As label president though, I've never actively approached artists that way. Our strength has been that our relationships have started as personal ones that grow organically into business partnerships over time. Looking at the lack of women artists on our label, it's clear that I have to recognize it as a priority and shift my approach. If these voices aren't found through these relationships I commit to going out and finding them.
Rhymesayers has always been about community and diversity. Those are our roots, and our history and legacy reflect that. I can say honestly though, that being consumed by the work itself and the demand of raising our families may have allowed us to lose some of that connection. But as we round out our 20th year, I am excited for the opportunity to reinvigorate those roots and recommit to those principles more than ever.
In the coming weeks, I'll be reaching out to artists, leaders and community members to explore how Rhymesayers can better serve our community. I look forward to building something healthy with genuine people.
I'm proud to have Kimya Dawson, B-Girls Anne "AnnieUp" Aldag and Bella Roberts, and Iman & Khadijah (the young Muslim women who've performed with Brother Ali for the past several years) along with their new 12 woman dance crew S.H.E (She who Holds Everything) on stage at Friday night's celebration. We hope you'll join us in not only celebrating the last 20 years, but building the future.

Probably, quite a few. But, I'm going to focus on the positive!
Definitely not editing well enough on occasion. Sometimes I try to post too quickly and even though I always proofread, skimming just doesn't do!
I've seen a couple of others mention this same thing already but I learned that building your life's work (or business) on someone else's site (like Blogger, Squidoo, etc) won't work in the long run. Own your own domain and your own hosting package. Use those others for throwaway ideas and spin-off tests.
Treating it as a hobby!
I actually have a post that I have long wished I wouldn't have done but also am glad I did. I have toyed with taking it down but have not and will not. I have toyed with changing it but again have not and will not. It started out as a simple idea, someone asked me a question in an interview and I decided to expand on that question, BIG MISTAKE. I still get hate mail for that post and people missed the point of it, prehaps I should have explained it better. Basically I was a snob in high school and that was the question, what were you like I had no idea it would cause a virtual firestorm. Ouch, lesson learned.
I had a tag "girl fight" which google thought was offensive. It was an innocent mistake
I wouldn't have told my (ex) Mother in Law. She is constantly stalks it and tells everyone, everything.While I know that it's a "public" blog it still bothers me that she doesn't have anything better to do haha!
i am having such a hard time learning blogger. i think i may look into wordpress
Kristen said:
Starting on Blogger. I definitely learned a great deal and Blogger is an awesome publishing tool. So much more can be done with Wordpress though...and my blog (and posts) are more easily found now.
omg! my in laws are the same but its the sister in laws LOL i think my blog would be doing a lot better if i could share with all my facebook friends but they stalk me on facebook and twitter lol its so frustrating haha

I feel the same way. I look at my fellow bloggers and I just think - how do you do it!? Do you have a little typing fairy in your pocket you whisper all your ideas to and while you sleep she edits them into discernible and intriguing content? Clearly its the only explanation I can come up.
Karissa M said:
I totally agree Danielle. I am so overwhelmed with blogging! I work hours every day on it, and feel exhausted. This is not what it was like in the beginning, and this is not what I want out of it! It should be for fun not something I feel obligated to do! Sometimes I feel like I am on top of it and loving it, but other times I feel like I am neglecting my life and family! It is a hard balance ... how do you all balance your blog so it doesn't take up all the other important parts of your life?!?!?
Danielle Maynard said:I think the biggest mistake that I have made as a blogger is spreading myself to thin. I am currently eating, sleeping and breathing blogging which I think has taken away from the very thing that I blog about, being a mom. I feel like I have devoted so much time to this venture that I have very little time to anything else. I know that to become successful I have to devote time to it especially since it is new. My hard work has really paid off but I have to find the time to balance all of my responsibilities with updating my blog.

Taking on low-paying sponsored posts :(
I still regret it to this day.
On the former blog I wrote I used to give my opinions on everything from politics to celebrities to religion. And I found that for me, that is a big no no.
Talk about getting slammed! I learned through that experience to keep my mouth shut. No one needs to know all those things about you nor do they want to. Relate to people on the topic of your blog and leave it to that if you want readership and a following (unless of course, your blog is about one of those things specifically).

For picture taking purposes, we use mineral spirits on slabs that are over 3/4" thick. Slabs that are 3/4" thick and under are sometimes wiped down with one swipe of mineral spirits to help show the figure. Our lumber is described as accurately as possible but due to the nature of highly figured and/or burled wood, minor cracking and checking might not be evident. When boards are listed, they are flat unless indicated in the item description above. Because of the natural edge look to most of our slabs, our dimensions are listed as "at the widest spot" or "at the longest spot" of the slab. Some of our slabs still have the bark attached, we cannot guarantee that all bark will remain on the slab during the shipping process. Our slabs are handled with great care, but even as they get moved around on the shelf, the bark can come off. Item numbers are written on all slabs in black sharpie marker.
We will combine shipping on multiple slabs most of the time depending on weight and/or the size of the slabs. When items are shipped, we send shipping confirmation & your tracking number through UPS to your paypal email address, please check your spam email box if you do not receive the confirmation. Also, please note, our boards are for sale on our lumbershack website as well as ebay. As inventory is sold, we try our best to unlist it from each site promptly.
Visit our Facebook Page to see pictures and get ideas of projects that could be made with our lumber. Many of our customers have emailed us pictures of their completed projects from the lumber purchased from us, from knotty pine bar tops to taxidermy mounts. We have several finished furniture projects displayed, like bars, coffee tables, dining room kitchen table, mantels, and benches.

NWHM is pleased to announce passage today of the National Women's History Museum bill in the House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Next stop, the House floor.
The NWHM bill was attached to other legislation supported by Committee Chairman John Mica (R-FL) and re-introduced as HR 2844, the National Women's History Museum and Federal Facilities Consolidation and Efficiency Act of 2011. Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is a cosponsor of the bill.
The legislative language in the new bill revises and further clarifies the boundaries of the site that NWHM will be allowed to purchase at 12th Street and Independence Avenue, SW., adjacent to the National Mall. This change eliminates any questions as to Congressional intent and will be helpful in site negotiations with the General Services Administration (GSA), the nation's landlord.
NWHM urges support for the passage of HR 2844. Please contact your Member of Congress to encourage their support for this bill. For more information on NWHM and legislation go to www.nwhm.org.

The way the BBC (amongst others) is telling it, Channel 4 got a severe rap over the knuckles from Ofcom over last year's heretical documentary, The Great Global Warming Swindle. Their report begins,
The Great Global Warming Swindle, a controversial Channel 4 film, broke Ofcom rules, the media regulator says.
In a long-awaited judgement, Ofcom says Channel 4 did not fulfil obligations to be impartial and to reflect a range of views on controversial issues.
The film also treated interviewees unfairly, but
...and here we sense all might not be as it at first appears...
did not mislead audiences "so as to cause harm or offence".
Plaintiffs say the Ofcom judgement is "inconsistent" and "lets Channel 4 off the hook on a technicality."
In fact, they're hopping mad about the judgement. Professor Robert Watson, a former chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has called it "highly disappointing". In an article in the Guardian, he complained that,
I believe it inaccurately portrayed the scientific evidence, was not impartial – which, in my view, a documentary should be – and was unbalanced and totally misrepresented the scientific consensus on the role of human activities in causing global warming. Therefore the program should have emphasized far more than it did that it was portraying a minority opinion.
All of which may very well be true. But while Watson obviously knows a great deal about climate science, he knows next to nothing about documentary making. There is no duty to be "impartial" when putting forward a polemical case; and it was obvious to anyone watching that the film was setting out to be controversial, even provocative. The most important - and by far the longest - section of Ofcom's ruling reaffirmed that obvious fact. They stressed - as they did in their last high-profile ruling concerning a Channel 4 documentary, Undercover Mosque - that it was of "paramount importance" that broadcasters, "continue to explore controversial subject matter." The ruling went on,
While such programmes can polarise opinion, they are essential to our understanding of the world around us and are amongst the most important content that broadcasters produce. It is inevitable such programmes will have a high profile and may lead to a large number of complaints.
Ofcom did, it is true, find against Channel 4 on a number of minor matters. Most significantly, they drew a distinction between the first four-fifths of the film, in which the producers - helped out by various dissenting scientists - sought to undermine the consensus, and the last section, which sought to portray this mainstream opinion as being in hock to various left-wing, anti-capitalist and (paradoxically) anti-Third World interests. In this, Ofcom believed, the programme makers did have a duty of balance. This was because there was "clearly a debate" about, for example, "whether, and the extent to which, developing countries should be required to limit their emissions of carbon dioxide as a result of concerns about global warming." On the question of climate change itself, by contrast, there was no real debate. Hence Channel 4 were perfectly entitled to do their best to try to start one. As the report put it,
Ofcom considers there is a difference between presenting an opinion which attacks an established, mainstream and well understood view, such as in this programme, and criticising a view which is much more widely disputed and contentious. In the former case, programme makers are not always required to ensure the detailed reflection of the mainstream view since it will already be known and generally accepted by the majority of viewers. In the context of this particular programme, given the number of scientific theories and politico-economic arguments dealt with in The Great Global Warming Swindle, it was not materially misleading overall to have omitted certain opposing views or represented them only in commentary.
Now all this is perfectly true. It is patently obvious that "believers in" climate change have got the debate pretty much sewn up, in scientific circles, in governmental and inter-governmental circles, and in popular opinion. The "deniers" (somehow "sceptic" is too polite a word, or so at least Watson and his colleagues would appear to believe) are in a small minority - though they do exist. The imminent doom facing the planet from global warming is now the stuff of popular entertainment: vide this week's forthcoming TV thriller Burn Out, featuring Neve Campbell, no less. They should be celebrating Ofcom's finding that their views are so preponderent Channel 4 don't even have to present them in any detail.
Instead, they seem strangely worried. Watson again:
Sceptics who disseminate misinformation and argue that there is no need to address this urgent issue are placing the planet at risk, threatening the livelihoods of not only the present generation, but even more future generations – our children and grandchildren.
While his colleague Sir John Houghton, on the BBC website, argued that "Ofcom's remit needs to be revised in order to protect the public when it comes to programmes' accuracy on matters of science."
One of the quotes from the narration that Ofcom singled out claimed that it was "a story of how a theory about climate turned into a political ideology". Another asserted that "global warming has gone beyond politics, it is a new kind of morality". Generally, I'd be inclined to agree with Ofcom that these claims are over the top. But given the violent - almost fearful - reaction of scientists faced with a single dissenting documentary, you have to wonder.
