Luck and Chutzpah: Against all odds
Hans Kahn spent his life looking towards the sea. And it was no easy task as he escaped from the Nazis through the least-used route from Amsterdam through Belgium, France and across the Pyrenees to Spain, Portugal and England. There he volunteered and spent the rest of the war with the Navy of the Dutch Government-in-exile. The story takes us up to the present day.

Campylobacter jejuni infection causes cramping, diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever within 2 to 5 days after a person has been exposed to the organism. Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common bacterial causes of diarrhea. Most cases of Campylobacter jejuni come from handling or ingesting raw or undercooked poultry meat. Although poultry and other birds are not affected by the bacterium, other animals can be. Therefore it is possible for a person to acquire the infection from contact with infected stool of an ill cat or dog. This is what Campylobacter organisms look like through a microscope.

With these Zooglobble reviews, I've focused on, for lack of a better word, "daytime" CDs. They're generally peppy, or a little bit folky, and definitely candidates for, well, the car. You know, you listen to the CD at home. You listen to it on the airplane. You listen to it in the car. If a CD can stand up to that repeated (ab)use, then there is definite merit to the album. I've not talked about "lullaby" CDs because, by definition, neither parents nor kids should be actively listening to a lot of these CDs. The parents should be out of the room and the kids, well, they should be sleeping. They're probably not, of course, but it's nice to pretend, no? Whatever the case, kids are definitely not begging to "play that song again!" when referring to Brahms' "Lullaby." But good music is good music, no matter when it's played. And my wife and I heard quite a few of these CDs when (she) nursed or (I) gave a bottle to our daughter. The first thing you should know about lullabies on CD is that there are many CDs that have "lullaby" or "sleepytime" in the title that have no business being used during nap time or nighttime. Next to the "Mozart effect," it's probably the most-overused phrase in kids' music. (Next thing you know, they'll be advertising how these CDs have Bluetooth technology.) Just because the CD has music by Mozart doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be calming and soothing during naps or feedings. Naxos is a "budget classical" label and has a CD entitled Listen Learn and Grow Lullabies. The CD advertises that "each selection [on the CD] has been specifically chosen for its soothing and tranquil qualities," and while that sounds like a bit of marketing hoo-hah, this is a pretty "soothing and tranquil" CD. Because these are pulled from Naxos' other recordings, they avoid the saccharine nature of a lot of kids' CDs. You'll recognize the first couple selections ("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and the aforementioned "Lullaby") by name and some others by melody, but others will likely be completely new to you. They are, however, almost uniformly pleasing to the ear. While marketed as a "lullaby" CD, nothing except the cultural knowledge of the first couple songs requires pigeonholing this CD as just for kids. Naxos' huge catalog means that it'll be hit or miss as to whether you can find it in your local music store; they're certainly available online. If I had to pick just one lullaby CD that I would actually use for a child, Listen Learn and Grow Lullabies would be the one.
Review: Whaddaya Think Of That? - Laurie Berkner
Of all the well-known children's music artists currently recording, Laurie Berkner has made the most effort to rescue toddler/pre-school songs from the detritus of many years of neglect. She does this in two ways: 1) She has fun singing kids' classics. 2) She records new songs actually aimed at toddlers. Berkner's first CD, Whaddaya Think Of That? shows her strengths in both types of recordings. This CD doesn't have many "cover versions," though her renditions of the "Alphabet Song" and (especially) "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain" are lively and joyful, with just enough "something new" to make the tired songs fresh. Her rendition of the classic "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is also lots of fun. She makes these songs fresh and fun even though she's rarely accompanied by more than a guitar and (sometimes) piano. But more than most kids' artists, Berkner writes songs for toddlers and pre-schoolers without many concessions to adults. Even the song most likely to draw a smile from parents ("Doodlebugs," for reasons that I'll not reveal here for fear of ruining the surprise) works perfectly for the kids. Unlike many songs that encourage participation but which are bland on record, Berkner's songs such as "What Falls In the Fall?" and "These Are My Glasses" work fine even if you're just listening. And "We Are the Dinosaurs" is an instant kids' classic, if there can be such a thing. Indeed, one of the strengths of Berkner's work for younger kids is that the songs are simple enough that parents (and kids) can sing them later on, when the CD isn't playing. There isn't much difference between this CD and Berkner's follow-up Buzz Buzz. Whaddaya is perhaps a little more limited in instrumentation, but not by much. Basically, if you like one of the CDs, you'll like the other. (And I recommend them both.) The CD is targeted mostly at kids between the ages of 2 and 6. You can buy Berkner's CDs at her own label, Two Tomatoes, or online or in finer book- or children's stores.
Review: Family Dance - Dan Zanes
Family Dance is billed as being by "Dan Zanes and Friends." By inserting the "and Friends" part in there, the listener gets the impression that he or she, too, could gather their own friends round the piano in the living room, drag in a small amp and guitar, and record a really hip version of, say, "Skip To My Lou." That listener, of course, would be completely and utterly wrong. The reason they would be wrong is that Dan Zanes has a whole bunch of really talented friends who can actually sing and play their instruments. On Family Dance, for example, Rosanne Cash turns in a nice duet with Zanes on the obscure (for me) kids' song "Fooba Wooba John," Loudon Wainright III helps in a raucous version of "All Around the Kitchen," and Sandra Bernhard "sings" (sort of) on a Dan Zanes original, "Thrift Shop." The less famous of Zanes' friends are no less talented -- Barbara Brousal sings one of her songs, "Malti," while Rankin' Don puts some life into those most tired of kids' songs "The Hokey Pokey" and, yes, "Skip To My Lou." There's not much difference between this album and, say, Zanes' later House Party. The later album is perhaps ever so slightly more diverse (there's not much bluegrass in Family Dance), but however you felt about House Party, you'll likely feel the same way about Family Dance. It draws from the same well of kids' classics, American songbook classics, some foreign nuggets, and a few solid Zanes originals. The CD is appropriate for, well, just about anybody. Kids age 3 and older might appreciate it more, but more than any other kids' artist out there right now, Zanes is a practitioner of "family music," meant for the whole family. Available from Zanes' own label, Festival Five, or finer online and bookstore vendors. Definitely recommended. (And Zanes would definitely recommend that you get your family and friends together to sing and play music -- it's one of his attitudes that I find most refreshing. But hold off pressing that CD, OK?)

Why Obama picked Hagel - By Bob Woodward
By Bob Woodward, Published: January 27
Bob Woodward is an associate editor of The Post. His latest book is The Price of Politics. Evelyn M. Duffy contributed to this column.
In the first months of the Obama presidency in 2009, Chuck Hagel, who had just finished two terms as a U.S. senator, went to the White House to visit with the friend he had made during the four years they overlapped in the Senate.
So, President Obama asked, what do you think about foreign policy and defense issues?
According to an account that Hagel later gave, and is reported here for the first time, he told Obama: We are at a time where there is a new world order. We dont control it. You must question everything, every assumption, everything they the military and diplomats tell you. Any assumption 10 years old is out of date. You need to question our role. You need to question the military. You need to question what are we using the military for.
Afghanistan will be defining for your presidency in the first term, Hagel also said, according to his own account, perhaps even for a second term. The key was not to get bogged down.
Obama did not say much but listened. At the time, Hagel considered Obama a loner, inclined to keep a distance and his own counsel. But Hagels comments help explain why Obama nominated his former Senate colleague to be his next secretary of defense. The two share similar views and philosophies as the Obama administration attempts to define the role of the United States in the transition to a post-superpower world.
This worldview is part hawk and part dove. It amounts, in part, to a challenge to the wars of President George W. Bush. It holds that the Afghanistan war has been mismanaged and the Iraq war unnecessary. War is an option, but very much a last resort.

1. Only in DC is this sort of thinking possible:
It amounts, in part, to a challenge to the wars of President George W. Bush (although Hagel voted for the wars of Bush). It holds that the Afghanistan war has been mismanaged (Hagel sent us there) and the Iraq war unnecessary (and the next Sec of Defense voting FOR unnecessary war somehow means he's against it) . War is an option, but very much a last resort (or the thing to do when GW Bush tells you they got WMD over there).
Hagel voted for the Iraq Invasion. He had a chance as a Senator to challenge it, but instead he backed it, voted for it, funded it and how that makes him a challenge to the things he supported in the Senate is a tad confounding and in need of detailed explanation. He voted for it, but he really knew it was unnecessary and so his support of the war was a challenge to the war because he knew by fighting it he'd be proved right that it was pointless? He's anti Iraq War because he voted for it? In spite of voting for it?

11. No. He did vote for it, based on the information given at the time. He was also one of the first
detractors. He got a lot of pushback and opposition from everyone for being a republican who wasn't backing the play. yes he's fu@**g human, he made a mistake. He believed like everyone else in something that was clearly wrong. Then he did what he could to fix it. Your constant attacks and refusal to review all the commentary he made says alot more about you than it does about him.

5. He is just an opportunist, repeating the leading DC thought.
in his first book about Bush, Bush was a leader.
in his second book about Bush, Bush was not a leader.
in his Obama book, Obama is not a leader.
And all that based on quotes and few analysis of what was actually done.
When was the last time he has made a positive contribution, Watergate excepted?

Petraeus for President. That might be small potatoes, but still informative. Other than that, I don't trust how often he sides with the right wing viewpoint.

8. This from the link was very telling about the MIC and Obama:
The words of Hagel said something that many have known, and burdened Obama in an environment he did not create, but must carefully work to dissolve its power.
As patrice detailed in replies here recently, the Reagan assault gun ban was a boon to gun manufacturers. It made a connection with me. The NRA opposition to military style gun control is based on their profits in selling these arms abroad. There they create the background for atrocities that become so destructive that armies are called in to quell the killing - with more killing while peace making.
A circle that needs to be broken, and will cause those making the money to incite more hatred against Obama and any effort at government control:
...The president has not had commander-in-chief control of the Pentagon since Bush senior was president, Hagel said privately in 2011.
From Woodward:
When I interviewed President Obama in the summer of 2010 for my book Obamas Wars, his deeply rooted aversion to war was evident. As I reported in the book, I handed Obama a copy of a quotation from Rick Atkinsons World War II history, The Day of Battle, and asked him to read it. Obama stood and read:
And then there was the saddest lesson, to be learned again and again . . . that war is corrupting, that it corrodes the soul and tarnishes the spirit, that even the excellent and the superior can be defiled, and that no heart would remain unstained.
And Woodward quotes Obama from the book Woodward wrote earlier:
The instruments of war do have a role to play in preserving the peace. And yet this truth must coexist with another that no matter how justified, war promises human tragedy. The soldiers courage and sacrifice is full of glory, expressing devotion to country, to cause, to comrades in arms. But war itself is never glorious Churchill had called it that and we must never trumpet it as such. So part of our challenge is reconciling these two seemingly irreconcilable truths that war is sometimes necessary and war at some level is an expression of human folly.
That is probably the best definition of the Obama doctrine on war. Applying such a doctrine in todays dangerous and unpredictable world will be daunting but on these issues Obama seems to have found a soul mate.
He's talking about Hagel there. I wish him a speedy confirmation. And while Ryan runs his mouth on sequestration and someone gave an example that in that event, many good programs sans Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA, which protect the most number of people will be cut.
The biggest cut and start of a turnaround from our decades of war making, will the jobs lost due to the MIC cuts. In WA state alone, 41K jobs will be lost. This is more important in line of the GOP opposition to helping to create public sector jobs for returning vets and others, which Obama wanted for rebuildikng infrastructure, so it has had to be worked around to give them private sector jobs with subsidies.
This is not an inconsequential shift in the money outlaid to contractors and other businesses depedent on the MIC. Many of those involved voted for Romney out of their concern for their own pockets. I don't call them evil - or warmongers.
They just need a job that takes care of them and their families. Many are not in the prime of life, either as some vets are - despite their severe problems from being in combat. They voted for the status quo.
Obama has his hands full with his belief he must represent ALL the hundreds of millions in the USA, not just the ones we know and talk to these days. This is an interesting article. Thanks, DonViejo.

Re: Replacement rules for large matrixes
Is your matrix a nested list or a SparseArray[]? From your description, I am guessing it is a nested list. Try working with your matrix as a SparseArray[] instead.
Next problem: Replace[] does not work on SparseArray[]'s. However, you can use BlockRules[] (code below) to do the replacement.

It's hard to imagine that we're less than three years removed from Robert Ellis's stint playing Whiskey Wednesdays at Mango's and then Fitzgerald's. From that small but loyal fan base — and even earlier in previous band Eyes Like Lions — Ellis has seen his star deservedly rise on the shoulders of his 2011 New West Records debut, Photographs. Along with his 2012 move to Wimberley and eventually Nashville, that year also saw Ellis nominated for an Americana Music Award for Best Emerging Artist alongside eventual winners Alabama Shakes. While all the praise being poured on Ellis is enough to make Houston proud, it's a damn shame you can't find Ellis at Fitz on a weekly basis anymore.
This past summer, the Blaffer Art Museum, nestled on the University of Houston campus, paid the hefty sum of $2.3 million for total reconstruction surgery, and the money was incredibly well spent. The facade evolved into a stunning windowed parallelogram, which both sticks out and enhances the lackluster brick buildings of UH. The interior space is now sprawling and bright, an open and airy dedication to the visual arts. Thin tubes of light cover the ceilings, making for a modern yet classy feel. On the second floor, a balcony overlooks the main gallery, which the museum is now dedicating to emerging artists. If you haven't been since the renovation, do yourself a favor and go.
Poets, novelists and essayists get rock-star receptions at Inprint's two popular reading series, the Margarett Root Brown Reading Series for adults and Cool Brains! for young readers. Authors scheduled for 2013-2014 season readings/onstage interviews and signing sessions include James McBride, George Saunders, Anne Carson and Khaled Hosseini. Past authors have ranged from internationally known Salman Rushdie to Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket. Local writers aren't overlooked, with Houston talent including the city's first poet laureate, Gwendolyn Zepeda, appearing at Inprint readings.
Dedicated in 2006, this ceramic tile mosaic celebrates the rich history of Houston's Fifth Ward by featuring the faces of some truly amazing people who came from the neighborhood — Barbara Jordan, Mickey Leland and George Foreman. In a city known for bulldozing the past to make room for strip malls or townhomes, murals like this one — which reflect upon and teach about the area's cultural heritage — are all the more valuable. It's a remarkable piece of art and a reminder of a remarkable legacy.
Any dancer will tell you that there's a special connection that forms during the run of a performance; the intimacy and trust are necessary for a dance ensemble to be successful. Now put a group of dancers in the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park and make them perform in the streaming fountain, and imagine the level of confidence they must have in each other. In "Natural Acts in Artificial Water," renowned choreographer Stephan Koplowitz and his initiative TaskForce created a masterful ensemble production based on the architecture, history, culture and ecology of the park, and the result was one of the most stunning collaborative dance performance pieces this year.

"You believe that God is one: You do well. Even the demons believe–and shudder!" Whatever else this passage reveals about James, the brother of Jesus, it certainly shows a tendency towards biting sarcasm ("You hold the same basic beliefs as demons do! Great job! Have a cookie."). James is making the point that true theological knowledge is not salvific: After all, the demons, including Satan, possess true theological knowledge that is probably unequaled among humanity. But James goes even further, telling us how the demons' knowledge prompts them to appropriate action: Given their status before God, the only appropriate response to knowledge about the Most High God is shuddering… and in this respect, the demons act more appropriately towards God than we often do.
Reading the Gospels, it becomes immediately apparent that a demon need do no more than set eyes on Jesus to know exactly who he is. But more importantly, that recognition is invariably followed by an an intense, often very specific reaction. Sometimes it's spasming and frothing at the mouth at the sight of him, as in Mark 9:20. Sometimes it's verbal, as in Mark 5:7, where the recognition is immediately followed by, "I adjure you by God, do not torment me." In Mark 1:25, the demon asks, as if expecting an affirmative answer, "Have you come to destroy us?" In all these cases, the recognition of who Jesus is prompts an immediate, strong response: Fear. Trembling. An expectation of torment.
This is because the demons also know who they are. They fully understand that their actions are sinful. They fully understand that they are in a state of constant rebellion against God. More than that, they fully understand the majesty, power, and utter holiness of Christ. And because they fully understand all this, they have the appropriate response of absolute terror.
So what response do we have when we come to the Holy One of God? I only ask because I know that I myself often have an utterly and completely insufficient view of my own sinfulness. I often write off little sins as no big deal, or fail to notice them at all. When they do enter my mind, I often "recover" from repentance far too quickly: After all, no use crying over spilt milk, right?
And because of this lack of understanding concerning my own actions and being, my understanding of the love and grace of God suffers as well. I fail to understand just how loving Christ is in descending down to us: I fail to understand how incredibly graceful it is of the Father to love us and send Christ to us, even while we were still His enemies. I fail to understand just how incredibly holy and awesome and powerful God is in Himself, apart from us. I fail to understand how weak I am, and how powerful prayer is.
And because I fail to understand all these things, I often fail to have the correct response to Christ. "Fear and trembling," at some points (Phil. 2:12). "Unceasing prayer" for those in need (Col. 1:9). Constant thankfulness to God (1 Thess. 1:2). Prayer is something that comes and goes throughout the day–coming fairly sporadically and going quickly. Awe and wonder are often restricted to an academic, abstract shadow of what they should be, impacting the mind but not the actions.
I fail to have the correct response to God and my own sin, because I fail to understand my sin and I fail to understand God. Grace becomes a "get out of jail free" card, allowing us to brush off sins without thinking. This causes both grace and sin to become something unimpressive and commonplace. Instead, we should recognize the severity and horrifying, blasphemous nature of the sin. We should recognize that such a sin is utterly unacceptable in the sight of our Holy God… and then, then we will recognize the wonder of grace and forgiveness. We will recognize the awesome love of God in loving us before we loved him,while we were still sinners. And I think that in this knowledge, we will find it easier to pray without ceasing. I think we will find it easier to thank God for what He has done, and to pray for him to do even more.
As we understand our own natural position before God, we will understand God's utterly supernatural position towards us; as we do so, I hope that we may come to act more and more appropriately towards God, with utter fear and trembling, followed by unceasing thankfulness, joy, and wonder.

In his introduction to the 2003 edition of the investing classic Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, Ken Fisher, son of legendary investor Phil Fisher, said of his father, "In his latter years Father could talk well and think well, but he didn't have the clarity for great decisions and his sales were poorly timed."
The same argument is now being made with increasing frequency about 82-year-old Warren Buffett. Certainly, his mistakes appear to be accumulating.
The 2000 words taken in this year's shareholder letter to explain Berkshire Hathaway's dividend policy were uncharacteristically dry and it was hard to escape the conclusion that Buffett was protesting too much.
Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on more than US$40 billion in cash, US$12 billion of which will go to buying Heinz. But Buffett, like Apple, is unlikely to pay out the remainder as a dividend.
His argument is simple enough. The sharemarket prices Berkshire Hathaway's dollars at more than a dollar in value. So shareholders are better off selling a portion of their stock than receiving a cash dividend.
The logic seems irrefutable. And, given the absence of franking credits in the US, sensible. It's the approach Buffett has used to great success over his investing life. And he has done a better job of reinvesting capital than investors.
So why not let him continue to do so?
Because the market needs people like Buffett digging in the undergrowth, not "shooting elephants" like Heinz.
When Berkshire Hathaway was small and nimble, Buffett ferreted out attractive deals and delivered astounding returns. Now it's huge and Berkshire's cash pile is the ammunition for Buffett's "elephant gun".
He has to make massive acquisitions to have an impact on returns, and that increases the risk of one going wrong.
Even his shareholder letter acknowledges the problem: "Because of our present size, making acquisitions that are both meaningful and sensible is now more difficult than it has been during most of our years."
Buying bigger, more marginal businesses increases the possibility of error. That's why Buffett should return the cash and let investors ferret around in the undergrowth for themselves. They don't need an elephant gun; he has no choice.
And yet Buffett adopts a course contradicted even by his own explanation.
His recent actions also suggest the lack of clarity that Phil Fisher saw in his father.
Buffett bought ConocoPhillips when the oil price was at its peak and lost more than 90 per cent of his investment in two Irish banks. By his own admission these purchases were "dumb".
Then there were his comments about US bank Wells Fargo in 2009. It's a "fabulous bank", said Buffett at the 2009 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting and on the following Monday Wells Fargo's stock price soared 24 per cent. But on Tuesday it emerged that it was one of the banks likely to fail the US government's stress test.
Wells Fargo might have had to raise capital but the Buffett-inspired share price rally offered the bank room to move.
The greatest threat to Berkshire investors may not be who succeeds the great man but how long he hangs around. At some point, Buffett's remarkable cognitive abilities will deteriorate; they may have already done so.
Age catches up with us all. Buffett is acutely aware of that fact but craves adulation and being in the spotlight. How many people could make a dispassionate, conscious decision to walk away from a life that they love clearly as much as Buffett loves his?
I hope Buffett departs with his reputation intact. But with every year that passes with him in the corner office, the risk of him not doing so increases.

YAGF is a graphical frontend for the cuneiform and tesseract OCR tools. It lets you open already scanned image files or obtain new images via XSane (scanning results are automatically passed to YAGF). Once you have a scanned image you can prepare it for recognition, select particular image areas for recognition, set the recognition language and so on. Recognized text is displayed in an editor window where it can be spell-checked, corrected, saved to disk, or copied to clipboard. YAGF also provides some facilities for a multi-page recognition.
Gwyddion is a modular SPM (Scanning Probe Microsope) data visualization and analysis tool. It can be used for all most frequently used data processing operations including: leveling, false color plotting, shading, filtering, denoising, data editing, integral transforms, grain analysis, profile extraction, fractal analysis, and many more. The program is primarily focused on SPM data analysis (e.g. data obtained from AFM, STM, NSOM, and similar microscopes). However, it can also be used for analyzing SEM (scaning electron microscopy) data or any other 2D data.
gjots lets you organize text notes in a convenient, hierarchical way. It can be used for notes, jottings, bits and pieces, recipes, and even PINs and passwords, using encryption. It can also be used to "mind-map" larger compositions like manuals, Web pages, articles, etc. It is a bit like the KDE program "kjots", but uses the GTK library and supports a hierarchy of folders. Files can be output to HTML with an automatic table of contents or to docbook XML. Encryption is supported with ccrypt(1), gpg(1), and openssl(1), so that musings can be kept private.

When her erratic son is accused of a brutal murder, Kim Hye-ja must decide whether to defend him or leave him to the cops. In doing so, she learns more about him than she'd bargained for.
A gripping, intense character study directed by Bong Joon-ho (Memories Of Murder). In smalltown Korea, a woman (Kim Hye-ja) dotes on her slow-witted son Do-jung (Bin Won), who gets into scrapes because he hangs around with local chancer Jin-tae (Ku Jin). One night, Do-jung follows a schoolgirl in the street; next morning, she's dead, and the youth can't remember what happened. The police make an easy case, but Mother won't let it lie and goes to any lengths — some quite horrid — to pin the crime on anyone else. Like Bong's previous films, it has an aspect of straight-faced, absurd humour, but plays a chillingly serious game as the terrifying heroine learns more than she wants to about her son and the strata of tossed-aside, broken-minded people all around.
A chilling, intense character study.

Art and About encourages everyone to engage with the creative force in everyday life. By alumna Christina Engelbrecht.
Art and About isn't about the big gallery shows or theater events or concerts where art and creativity are conspicuous. It's about the symbiosis of artistry and humanity. All around us, we intersect with creativity at any given moment but too many of us don't keep our senses attuned to it. Being in touch with the creative force is elemental. We must consciously nurture our inner artist lest it go dormant and diminish life.

The idyllic village of Cockington, close to the English Riviera, is hidden in a deep valley just a mile from busy Torquay. It is accessible from the seafront by bus or car, or alternatively by the more romantic horse-drawn carriages. Narrow winding lanes lead into the village where even the public toilets are thatched. It is a chocolate box picture perfect place, complete with an old forge, thatched cottages and an old manor house. The village of Cockington was mentioned in the Domesday Book and has retained its old world charm. It also offers cafés and shops for the visitor.
Although the village is in the heart of urban Torbay, it remains untainted by modern developments. Unsurprisingly it is one of the most photographed places in the country. The surrounding country park and woodland makes Cockington an ideal centre from which walkers can explore the area. There is plenty of car parking space available.
One route leads past the historic Cockington Forge at the centre of the village up the hill to a right turning. A gate leads into the grounds of Cockington Court, 460 acres of parkland, woodland and farmland. A well signposted path leads to the woodland walk, or it is possible just to follow the paths around the lakes in this picturesque and tranquil setting. The lakes are thought to have been created to supply fresh fish by monks from nearby Torre Abbey. The Gamekeeper's Cottage is situated in the shadow of Manscombe Woods and was recorded as early as 1517. It continued to be occupied by gamekeepers until the early 20th century. These days it is an environmental education centre. There is still a slatted area, just beneath the roof, where pheasants used to hang after a shoot.
The Ark Play Area is at the rear of the court, behind the car park. It is specifically designed to be used by both disabled and able-bodied children and includes a wheelchair see saw, a turning stone, sound boxes, a singing stone, a water feature with seesaw pump and fountain and the usual slides and ramps.
Back in the centre of the village, the forge dates from the 14th century. The oldest postcard featuring Cockington was of this forge and it was taken on a winter day in the last decade of the 19th century. Opposite the main car park is the Drum Inn which was designed by the famous architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens. A footpath through the gardens of the Drum leads to the cricket ground which provides a venue for many outdoor events. One of these is a local "Last Night of the Proms".

text: I am not a previous ipod owner and thus do not have extra data cables lying around... anyone have experience with buying data cables on ebay and what not? I really cant justify the expense for an oem cable, it seems absurd for a cable. I need one for syncing to my other computer and one just for charging. Anyone have good/bad experiences using non-oem cables?

Forward-Looking Statements
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. The Company's results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments (domestic or foreign) involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products (domestic or foreign) and difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products. In addition, sales of our products are affected by reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and health care cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We, or others, could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock.

Hampton VA (SPX) Mar 01, 2016
The return of supersonic passenger air travel is one step closer to reality with NASA's award of a contract for the preliminary design of a "low boom" flight demonstration aircraft. This is the first in a series of 'X-planes' in NASA's New Aviation Horizons initiative, introduced in the agency's Fiscal Year 2017 budget.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden announced the award at an event Monday at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia.
"NASA is working hard to make flight greener, safer and quieter - all while developing aircraft that travel faster, and building an aviation system that operates more efficiently," said Bolden. "To that end, it's worth noting that it's been almost 70 years since Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 as part of our predecessor agency's high speed research. Now we're continuing that supersonic X-plane legacy with this preliminary design award for a quieter supersonic jet with an aim toward passenger flight."
NASA selected a team led by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company of Palmdale, California, to complete a preliminary design for Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST). The work will be conducted under a task order against the Basic and Applied Aerospace Research and Technology (BAART) contract at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
After conducting feasibility studies and working to better understand acceptable sound levels across the country, NASA's Commercial Supersonic Technology Project asked industry teams to submit design concepts for a piloted test aircraft that can fly at supersonic speeds, creating a supersonic "heartbeat" - a soft thump rather than the disruptive boom currently associated with supersonic flight.
"Developing, building and flight testing a quiet supersonic X-plane is the next logical step in our path to enabling the industry's decision to open supersonic travel for the flying public," said Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator for NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission.
Lockheed Martin will receive about $20 million over 17 months for QueSST preliminary design work. The Lockheed Martin team includes subcontractors GE Aviation of Cincinnati and Tri Models Inc. of Huntington Beach, California.
The company will develop baseline aircraft requirements and a preliminary aircraft design, with specifications, and provide supporting documentation for concept formulation and planning. This documentation would be used to prepare for the detailed design, building and testing of the QueSST jet. Performance of this preliminary design also must undergo analytical and wind tunnel validation.
In addition to design and building, this Low Boom Flight Demonstration (LBFD) phase of the project also will include validation of community response to the new, quieter supersonic design. The detailed design and building of the QueSST aircraft, conducted under the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate's Integrated Aviation Systems Program, will fall under a future contract competition.
NASA's 10-year New Aviation Horizons initiative has the ambitious goals of reducing fuel use, emissions and noise through innovations in aircraft design that departs from the conventional tube-and-wing aircraft shape.
The New Aviation Horizons X-planes will typically be about half-scale of a production aircraft and likely are to be piloted. Design-and-build will take several years with aircraft starting their flight campaign around 2020, depending on funding.

I have my monitor display set to turn off after 15 minutes. Screen saver is
set to engage after five minutes. Problem is, once the monitor turns off, it
will not turn back on unless I reboot by pressing the power button on my
computer. There is nothing else I can try because the monitors (dual) are
both completely blank. The only way I can prevent this from occurring is by
disengaging all screen savers and 'turn off display'. Then the screen saver
never engages, and monitors never to blank, but I have to press the power
buttons on the monitors to turn them off when I am not using the computer.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, with all updates installed. I
have 3GB memory. My video card is an ATI Radeon X1600 Series with 512MB
memory. I just updated the drivers yesterday (11/11/07) to 8.421.0.0 dated
9/28/07. My computer is a HP running at 3.6MHz. Other than the display
issues, the computer runs just fine.
What adjustments should I make so that I can use my screen saver and so that
I can set my display to turn off after 15 minutes?
