The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us…
by Bill Bishop
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This makes a well-documented case that a political "clustering" trend, begun in the mid-1970s, is increasingly dividing the cultural geography of the US down ideological lines. One statistic is really enough to convince me: "During the closely fought 1976 election, about a quarter of Americans lived in landslide counties (i.e. those that voted for a candidate by more than 20 percentage points). By the 2004 election, about half the country lived in such counties." (http://www.creators.com/opinion/david-sirota/this-summer-s-trilogy-of-truth.html )
Not only does Bishop provide a significant amount of other demographic data substantiating this trend. He also illustrates the (qualitative) cultural changes as he encounters people around the country from the South Austin liberals to exurban fundamentalist Christians in Oregon. He belabors some of his points a little too long for me, but others might appreciate the less consequential details of this or that "sorting" phenomenon.
This trend will not likely be remembered as anything other than a historical curiosity. But, since there is no apparent evidence that it is slowing, it's probably a good idea to take notice of these patterns in which we're involved. If that awareness results in (only slightly) better informed choices, it is important.
In this interesting book Bill Bishop describes the polarization of American politics from 1965 onwards. He is fairly obviously a Democrat but goes out of his way to speak to new millennium Republicans and appreciate their world view.
He describes the "Big Sort" very convincingly, particularly the way that Republicans and Democrats drift towards their respective majority states, or at least the majority Republican or Democratic areas within each state, and the way that this seems to happen almost unconsciously by what "feels right and comfortable" about the surroundings.
One way or another Americans seem to gravitate towards two very different lifestyles; A) the city / anonymous / environmental / minority-rights / European / intellectual/ state-interventionist, or B) the country / community / traditional / religious / Constitutional / nationalist / self-reliant with Democratic and Republican loyalists dividing neatly along these lines.
He shows the result as a separation and hardening of positions generating the familiar American Gridlock politics of the new millennium, and as he says, "Democracy has become so balky that the normal processes of representative government are being replaced by systems of issue brokering that are only quasi-representative"......" public policy is often negotiated among interest groups". This would be a great lead in to look at where the power went and who these interest groups are but he doesn't follow it.
Maybe they're not particularly Democratic or Republican and they just want the money and the influence, but the author doesn't really go into this interesting question.
The author seems to be more concerned with establishing the reality of the "Big Sort" rather than evaluating it in a historical context. He refers to the early 1970's research of Robert Inglehart at the University of Michigan, suggesting that a young generation growing up in abundance will esteem self expression more than economic growth as they seek "higher values", but he doesn't refer to the more recent and much richer version of this idea available in for example "The Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe.
The book doesn't consider that the opposing factors of the "Sort" seem to coexist quite happily in some countries. Japan can be very respectful of tradition and community while developing leading high technologies with the same going for Germany and northern Europe in general.
The author doesn't look at the fairly obvious divide between Original Americans (OAs) and Newcomers (N's). OA's were in American prior to 1900, they mostly originated from European countries and now regard themselves as Americans first and have strong links to the Constitution and American history and also provided most of the troops and leadership in the two world wars. N's arrived after 1900 and are now mostly non-European hyphenated Americans with weak links to American traditions and a preference for identity politics, non-integration and minority rights and they predictably find their natural home in the Democratic party.
Equally, Bishop doesn't consider the 1965+ rise to power of the Jews as a prime example of an American special interest insider group. He does talk about the rise of advocacy groups that aren't broad based or democratically controlled but he could have shown Jewish tribal self-selection producing for example the present (2013) strange situation where the eight leading candidates for the post of Federal Reserve chairman are all Jewish or married to Jews (apart from Geithner) or Jewish students comprising 30% of Ivy League university enrolment. This is a major shift of power to a non-European and non-Christian newcomer minority group (3% of the population) which is also firmly on the Democratic left.
The author could also usefully have looked at the way in which the growing demands of the Democratic left generate a more extreme reaction from the traditionalist Republican right. For example he could have shown how the gay rights idea has progressed from 1965 onwards through illegality > ignoring > acceptance > protection > coming out > legal rights > marriage equality and adoption > to school teaching which is fine in a minority rights environment but is seen as provocative when legally applied traditional Americans.
In general I think that the "Big Sort" was a missed opportunity but it does provide indisputable evidence for the post 1965 polarization of the Republican and Democratic parties.
Most provocative book I've read on American life since Jane Jacobs' "Death and Life of Great American Cities." Bishop says gerrymandering isn't the key cause of entrenched Washington members of Congress; rather, Americans have been segregating themselves sociologically and politically since 1965 into increasingly homogeneous counties and election districts. People are clustering with PLUs, "people like us." This clustering generates increasingly partisan and intemperate political results, as members of the majority socially vie with each other to be "more" mainstream, and the disaffected minority increasingly opts out of political activity or simply moves to a more socially/politically comfortable town. Very scary.

I never took a course in political science. In high school, we were required to take a semester of American Government, and a year of American History. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned before (in a previous review or two) classes have their limits. Even in college, there's only so much history you can study and actually learn in the course of a semester.
Having lived through the past few (increasingly controversial) elections, however, has definitely given me a decent amount of schooling in voter demographics and in the growing rift between the Republican and Democratic parties.
This rift is brilliantly illustrated by Bill Bishop in his book, The Big Sort which details the way in which both parties have reinforced themselves over the last few years, creating two extremes, with little to no middle ground. Most of us are partisan these days, living in shrinking communities with specific homogeneous interests, driving ourselves away from those whose opinions differ even in the slightest, nurturing our political and moral certainties and severing us from the coinciding concepts of tolerance and compromise. While Bishop's personal feelings are obviously skewed towards the liberal end of things, the book saves neither party from its due censure. And he does it without relying too heavily on numbers and statistics which will be forgotten at the turn of a page.
The facts are clear: neither party is willing to budge. And with the introduction of ultra-extreme party offshoots like The Tea Party, there seems little hope for mending the gap of beliefs in America. The ultra-conservative only drink tea with other ultra-conservatives, engendering a whirlpool of hate and ill-feeling toward anyone with a liberal bone in their body. And the ultra-liberal only interact with other ultra-liberals, creating an equally frightening force of hate and fear from conservatives. We all think we're right with pretty much no room for debate. In a world like this, where anyone who is an "other" is a fool or a sham, how is bipartisanship ever to be regained?
America seems to be on a path towards destruction. We can't see the light at the end of the tunnel because there is no light there, the only light seems to be at the center, in moderation. I will never agree with a lot of what the Republican party believes. But I do believe in compromise. I also believe that Glenn Beck is a fool, and I believe that he is one of the tools the conservatives are using to drive a deeper wedge between the parties. But if we want tolerance, if we want compassion and solidity as a nation, and if we want an end to this rift we all need to move towards the middle, even if it means compromising with those whom we consider "rubes, fools and hate-mongers." To get tolerance, you need to give it.
Bishop has a great quote at the end of his afterword to the 2009 edition of the book: "The message people living in a democracy must understand, more than any other message, is that there are Americans who aren't just like you. They don't live like you, they don't have families like yours, and they don't think like you. They may not live in your neighborhood, but this is their country, too." What this book has done, for me at least, is not convert me to a conservative or even reinforced my liberal standing: it has made me willing to listen. I may not side with conservatives and I may disagree with 90% of their rationale, but I think it's important that we all hear each other out and understand where the differences are, and how to bridge the gaps that currently separate us.
Lauren Cartelli
I agree... quirky. But having read it, I feel better equipped to understand and discuss various issues which confront us all. Understanding the "sorting behavior" of Americans (and others around the world?) at least helps to explain why things always feel so confrontational and unresolvable -- perhaps some solutions to this dilemma are implicit in the understanding of the phenomena. Reading this book along with Florida's "The Great Reset" helps put it into context. Then read Kiernan's "Authentic Patriotism" and Tapscott & Williams' "MacroWikinomics" for welcome antidotes.
As the journalist Bill Bishop shows in his eye-opening demographic study The Big Sort, for decades we have been withdrawing into "communities of like-mindedness" where the gap between individual and collective closes. These are places where elective affinities are supplanting electoral politics.

The untold story of why America is so culturally and politically divided
America may be more diverse than ever coast to coast, but the places where we live are becoming increasingly crowded with people who live, think, and vote as we do. This social transformation didn't happed by accident. We've built a country where we can all choose the neighborhood -- and religion and news show -- most compatible with our lifestyle and beliefs. And we are living with the consequences of this way-of-life segregation. Our country has become so polarized, so ideologically inbred, that people don't know and can't understand those who live just a few miles away. The reason for this situation, and the dire implications for our country, is the subject of this groundbreaking work.
In 2004, the journalist Bill Bishop, armed with original and startling demographic data, made national news in a series of articles showing how Americans have been sorting themselves over the past three decades into alarmingly homogeneous communities -- not by region or by red state or blue state, but by city and even neighborhood. In The Big Sort, Bishop deepens his analysis in a brilliantly reported book that makes its case from the ground up, starting with stories about how we live today and then drawing on history, economics, and our changing political landscape to create one of the most compelling big-picture accounts of America in recent memory.
The Big Sort will draw comparisons to Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone and Richard Florida's The Rise of the Creative Class and will redefine the way Americans think about themselves for decades to come.

A Guide to the Albert R. Enderle Family Papers, 1854-1975
Biographical Note
Albert R. Enderle (1914-1982) worked as an insurance agent in San Antonio and Houston, Texas. Along with his mother, Mary Ann Harris Enderle, he gathered family material and genealogical information on several branches of his family.
Scope and Content Note
Letters, collected genealogical sources, and photographs make up the Albert R. Enderle family papers, providing information on the Dismukes, Goodrich, Harris, and Enderle families.
The family correspondence, in manuscript and transcript forms, includes letters sent and received by Washington Edmund and Sarah Dismukes Goodrich of Seguin, Texas. These and other letters discuss family matters and business. Genealogical information is found in correspondence, family documents, published works, newspaper clippings, and notes. Identified photographs include members of the Harris and Dismukes families; a photograph album contains portraits of Harris family members.
Also included with the papers are three cased photographs and a photograph album belonging to San Antonio newspaper editor James Pearson Newcomb, the uncle of Dorris Enderle. Only a small number of these are identified; most of the photographs in the album bear the marks of photographers outside of Texas. Several of the identified portraits are of cadets at Norwich University of Northfield, Vermont, and date from the Civil War, when the pro-Union Newcomb was in exile from Texas.

I want to have another baby soon but I have been thinking/remembering lately how difficult my first child was. He didn't sleep well, we had trouble nursing, etc. He was and still is an intense kiddo who needs a lot of attention. That isn't to say he is not an amazing child but he was a lot to handle in the baby/toddler years. When I think about having another baby that is the only experience I have to relate it to so I was curious what your experience was/is!
How alike or different are your children? I am aware they are two different individuals, I am just curious :)
~*Have more than you show, speak less than you know*~
I have 4 children. My first child was very high needs. She barely slept, and screamed most of her first year of life. She is almost 11 now and still a rather intense individual. All of my children have turned out to be variations of her but in their own way except for my youngest who is a carbon copy of DD1. I've never experienced an "easy" baby or child. My experience tends to be rare, most people seem to go on to get more easier children.
To be fair though, DD1 (#1) and DS2 (#4) are the ones that have the exact same personality. My two middle children struggle with their own different medical issues. Their personalities are not as intense as the other two, but their special needs/health problems make up for it.
Well we've only got the one for now but I can say that my sister and I are incredibly different! I was fussy about sleeping as a babe, but other than that, incredibly quiet independent, and easy going. My sister was and still is the wild one, uncontrolled emotionally and behaviorally. I've got my independent spirit now, but she's also very outgoing with others which I was not so will be interesting to see in the future if we shoot for more what we get!
Mine are pretty different and I'm SO glad for that perspective. Really. I really do feel like mine are different because I am a different mother. Mine are 10 years apart (same father) and we (parents) are just so much more relaxed this go-round. Plus, we now live close to family. PLUS, our 10 (now 12) year old has been AMAZINGLY helpful. It's the greatest.
My first was a pretty good baby - not high needs. But, still... I was probably stressed and it wasn't easy even with a pretty typical "AP" child. Flash forward to this new baby and it's been SO FUN. Like all the fun and almost zero stress. AND, I'm 10 years older so I thought it would be way harder. I thought the sleep deprivation would be worse and it wasn't. It was WAY easier even though both had pretty similar sleep patterns. I think I have just permanently adapted to waking up in the night.
Also, the perspective is just so great. I know that challenging behaviors just go away. I cherish the time. I know that when a toddler is being a pain that I would give anything to go back to that time. It's cheezy but true for me.
The one thing that was a tad harder for me was nursing and after pains. But that is all just immediately following birth. I think that I was just not quite as in awe (and after pains are worse with subsequent children). But, we're talking about just a couple of days. Still, that did take me off guard.
Ok, and one other thing that's hard if you have a big gap is meeting the older child's needs and the way younger child. It's kind of a challenge to make space to help my older child with her homework...while the toddler is going through all of her stuff.
Troll? Here's me...
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
My kids are like polar opposites, personality wise. They were both fairly easy and happy babies though. My second (a girl) got colicky at 6 weeks and it lasted for a month or two. They both slept through the night fairly early on (from 3 mos). I didn't breastfeed much due to complications, etc. so that could be why.
I agree that I was a different mother with my second child. I think I had PPD with my first.

|Memphis, Tenn. : Rhodes College
|Series/Report no.:
|Syllabi CRN
|Beginning with the Haitian revolution in the 1790s and ending with the abolition of slavery in Brazil in the 1880s, this course will examine the history of emancipation in the Atlantic World. Students will read primary and secondary sources that explore the local circumstances and global interactions on all sides of the Atlantic that shaped the origins, trajectory, and consequences of slave emancipation in the nineteenth century. While attention will be paid to the first and second emancipation in the United States, students will learn about the revolutionary changes that took place in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa as well.History is the study of change over time. And, while this course will not focus on rote memorization, gaining factual knowledge about the major events, people, and ideas that shaped this period in history is essential to understanding how and why these changes occurred.Much of our understanding of history relies on our ability to interpret past events. Students will be required to learn the theories and explanations historians have used to explain the social, political, and economic changes taking place in the nineteenth century.By critically analyzing others points of view, theories, and challenging their ideas and conclusions students will be encouraged to develop their own vision of history by studying primary and secondary sources.Students will be graded on their ability to demonstrate their knowledge of the period, understanding of historical theories and theses, and ability to think critically in writing and orally.

Progressive Primary Recount
Officials are set to gather at 14 county courthouses around Vermont Thursday to recount ballots in the Progressive primary for governor.
Write-in candidate Annette Smith asked for the recount after losing in earlier counting to Progressive Party Chairwoman Martha Abbott by just one vote.
The party decided earlier this year not to run a candidate for governor, so Abbott withdrew after her apparent victory. A Smith victory in the recount could upset that plan.
County clerks will have to sort through the ballots of Democrats, Republicans and Progressives, pull out the progressive ones, and then recount those to see if Abbott or Smith won the primary.

"Keep it brief, keep it bouncy and everything's going to be fine," Chris Evans (Radio 2, Friday) told listeners with his optimistic, bushy-tailed energy. And it was, until guest Elton John (pictured) responded to Evans telling him that Jools Holland likes to play the piano first thing every morning. "Oh, fucking hell," said John. "The remark was so eugh," he added.
His apology was catty, making the next song choice – Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word – both appropriate and funny. "I am very, very sorry for that awful word I said: Jools Holland," the singer declared. After the 9am news, Evans told us that another apology was coming and it did, restating how nauseating the morning tinkling of ivories habit seemed. "Nowt as queer as folk," John said, still digging at Holland. The following track, Trouble by Ray LaMontagne, also bristled with sudden topicality.
It's a shame that this inevitably occluded much of John's time on the programme in the new regular Friday guest slot. Before the f-word slip, he had been funny and the chat had wandered away from the usual fodder, to hostess trolleys (John has one) and the problems of taking tablets to encourage hair re-growth when trying for a baby (that's Evans). It was a fun listen. Maybe radio's just going through a sweary phase.

| Dear FDA:
We encourage you to adopt a regulation on the use of "gluten-free" on product labels that is in line with that which has been used in Europe and other countries (including the USA via the Codex Alimentarius) for many years--20 PPM for products that contain naturally gluten-free ingredients, and 200 PPM for products that have been rendered gluten-free such as those that may contain Codex Alimentarius quality wheat starch. The formal adoption of these existing regulations will allow for the continued importation of excellent, safe European products that are labeled "gluten-free."
It is very important that you do not adopt a "zero tolerance" regulation in this matter because doing so will cause many gluten-free food companies to discontinue their use of the term "gluten-free" on their labels out of fear of litigation--which is counterproductive for all people with this disease (most, if not all, gluten-free food companies do not grow, transport or mill the gluten-free grains that they use as ingredients--a fact that will make them vulnerable to litigation if a zero tolerance level is adopted). Last, the inclusion of trace levels of gluten in the diets of those with celiac disease have been shown to be safe in many scientific studies, for more details please see:
In addition, as a future health professional as a dietitian, I certainly encourage any change that will benefit the consumer's health. It is my opinion that many newly diagnosed people would like life simplified. Ingredient lists and concern over hidden potentially harmful ingredients in foods can be very intimidating. It is a duty to encourage varied and healthy eating and to eliminate some difficulty in making food choices, especially for those with limitations.
Thank you,
Cheryl Tuttle

Training time is always harder on the trainer than it is on the dog. This adorable husky puppy doesn't know what his owner is trying to say; all it knows is she's holding a treat that needs to be eaten. By the looks of it, getting the pup to actually lie down is going to take a lot of patience on the part of the owner.
However, the puppy does get it right by accident a couple of times, and perhaps that's the first step to true learning.

Seo Tips To Help You Reach The Top At Google
If optimizing your website for the major search engines seems like a daunting task, you should know that you're not alone. You can take advantage of the hard-earned experience of many other websites. By following the tips in this article, you'll be able to optimize your site so that it attracts more traffic than ever.
When dealing with Meta and title tags on your pages, you have to remember to keep them very unique. In the world of SEO, finding a site that ranks highly without the proper keyword usage is extremely rare, and most of the top-ranking sites constantly change their tags and make them unique to the people who are searching in their particular market.
A good way to improve search engine optimization is to work on it as part of your daily routine, in the same way you would check your emails. This because seo techniques are not static, as search engines evolve continually and rapidly, and what worked yesterday might not work today.
To optimize your engine marketing, never publish the same article in more than two locations on your site. Search engines ding your ranking for duplicate content, so it is best to avoid repetition whenever possible. Use one article URL for the best results, as using multiple links for the same content weakens the power of the content for SEO purposes.
Experienced webmasters often run more than one site. For the best search engine performance across a network of websites, savvy owners will make sure that their different sites are thoroughly linked to each other. Website networks offer considerable SEO advantages; the value of an external link does not depend on who owns the two sites it connects.
If you've read this article carefully, Search engine optimisation shouldn't seem like such a confusing task anymore. Just remember the basic principles underlying the tips you've been given, and apply them to your website. Before you know it, your traffic will have skyrocketed, and your customer base will be expanding.

Girl's 'cultural identity' rights considered
OKLAHOMA CITY — A United Nations official who focuses on the status of indigenous people called on state, federal and tribal authorities on Tuesday to ensure that the rights of a nearly 4-year-old girl in the middle of a custody dispute are considered.
James Anaya said in a statement that authorities should consider Veronica's rights to maintain her "cultural identity" as a member of the Cherokee Nation.
Veronica's father, Dusten Brown, who is a member of the Cherokee Nation, has been fighting for custody of the girl with a South Carolina couple who adopted her.
"Veronica's human rights as a child and as (a) member of the Cherokee Nation, an indigenous people, should be fully and adequately considered in the ongoing judicial and administrative proceedings that will determine her future upbringing," Anaya said. "The individual and collective rights of all indigenous children, their families and indigenous peoples must be protected throughout the United States."
Veronica's birth mother, who is not Native American, was pregnant when she put the girl up for adoption, and the South Carolina couple, Matt and Melanie Capobianco, had been lined up to receive custody since 2009. But Brown and his family claimed the Indian Child Welfare Act mandated that the child be raised within the Cherokee Nation, and he won custody when the girl was 2.

Marlon Brando's former business manager has launched a $US3.5 million ($4.6 million) claim against the late acting legend's estate, alleging that Brando sexually harassed her.
The action was filed nearly six months after the two-time Oscar-winning movie star died of lung failure at the age of 80, leaving about $US26.8 million in assets, the Los Angeles Times said.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Joanne Corrales, claims Brando "caused a hostile work environment due to his continuous acts of sexual harassment" throughout her four-year employment.
She also claims Brando, who died on July 1, wrongfully removed her as co-executor of his estate about two months before his death.
Ms Corrales said in her claim she was entitled to a salary of $US5000 a month plus 10 per cent of all residuals - an amount totalling $US500,000.
Ms Corrales, who worked as Brando's business manager from December 2000 until March this year, joins a string of people and companies who have sued the actor's estate.
The enigmatic star of such films as A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and On The Waterfront (1954) left the bulk of his estate to nine of his children.
Since his death, at least five claims have been made against his estate, including one from a long-time friend who wants to be reimbursed for a $US3000 diamond ring she lost down Brando's drain while preparing a salad a decade ago.
Brando's lawyers could not be reached for comment on Saturday.


text: Just weeks after U2's 3D concert movie comes another shameless cash-in. Hannah Montana is the Disney TV series in which the toothsome Miley Cyrus (daughter of Billy Ray) plays high-school girl Miley, with her real-life dad playing her screen dad. But she has a secret identity: she dons a blonde wig and becomes pop superstar Hannah Montana, unbeknownst to her (presumably half-witted) schoolfriends. And here you can see Cyrus performing (in real life) as both Hannah and herself to an audience of sugar-rushing tweenies in a US enormodome, in three dimensions. If you're not a young girl, there's nothing here to detain you, though equally there's nothing to repel you - Cyrus is so wholesome she could turn Darth Vader from the dark side. Take your daughter and have a doze.

Overtake a Piece of Furniture With Ceramic Vases or Teapots
Dominating the runner on a rarely used dining-room table or decorating an unexpected cabinet, large ceramics can work like sculpture. Whether your collection is a mixed palette or a single color, think about creating an intriguing "horizon line" by juxtaposing tall and short, angular and shapely, smooth and rough. (Imagine the irregular high-lows of a cityscape.) To clean inside tall ceramics, dampen a long, thin bottle brush (Casabella Soft Tip brushes, $9 for three, amazon.com); outside, a soft cloth will do. Townsend sideboard, fitzhughkarol.com for info.

For Release Sunday, May 31, 2009
© 2009 Washington Post Writers Group
FREIBURG — Tucked into a sunny corner of southwestern Germany, this old university town was best known until the 1970s for its massive cathedral dome, its tie to the Black Forest, and its craft of intricately carved cuckoo clocks.
Who would have thought then that early 21st century Freiburg could claim to be a world-class eco-city, leading in solar and wind power, energy-conserving home construction, rain-water management, public transit and carless neighborhood development?
Blame, if you will, authorities of the regional (state) government of Baden-Wuerttenberg. In 1975 they announced they'd build a nuclear power plant near Freiburg. No choice, they decreed, the power was needed for growth, and nuclear power was the smart modern choice.
The government had failed to reckon with local opposition — not just university faculty and students, but denizens of all ages, as well as local farmers, residents of nearby small towns. They mobilized around the construction site, tore down perimeter fences, used church bells to warn when the police were coming.
Even after the plant was cancelled, they stuck together, agreeing it wasn't enough to say what they opposed — they had to explore where they would get their future electricity, power, heat. Would it be solar, or wind, or geothermal? Could it happen with no nuclear power, with radically less oil and coal?
It was an open debate. Professors came to the town plaza to discuss arrays of energy strategies. Special research institutes were founded — among them an EcoInstitute to look into such issues as reduced household consumption through energy-efficient construction and appliances. Also founded in Freiburg: the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, now Europe's largest solar research energy body with a 500-person staff.
A visitor is exposed to exciting solar razzle-dazzle in Freiburg today — some 1,000 solar panels on building rooftops and facades, 2,400 square meters of solar cells atop a city stadium, and a solar tower at the railway station, its mixture of glass and 240 embedded solar panels glistening in the sun.
It's taking time for solar to satisfy more than a fraction of Freiburg's city energy demands. But it keeps growing because of a crucial incentive — the legal right of homeowners and businesses to feed excess power back into the local power grid, at an attractive rate of return, on a multi-year basis.
Germany as a whole is following the Freiburg lead, investing billions in photovoltaic research to become one of the world leaders in solar panel production and installation.
"We do trips into the future," says Juergen Hartwig, a founding partner of "Freiburg Futour" which explain's Freiburg's breakthroughs to visitors. Environmentalists like himself, he notes, are no longer scoffed at as impractical idealists who wear two sweaters in winter; today not only Germany's "Greens" but the main political parties have come around to support solar and other energy alternatives, because they're profitable, and because they provide the county with some 250,000 jobs.
Freiburg keeps expanding its energy saving alternatives. Town center is an expansive vehicle-free pedestrian zone, one of Germany's first, with refreshing foot-wide fresh water canals running along the streets to provide natural cooling and add ambiance. There's a robust, growing public transit system of electric trams and buses. The city's advanced water systems include grassy swales to percolate rain water into the aquifer while sewage waste is collected in a biogas plant together with organic household waste for electric power generation.
But perhaps the biggest wonder is Freiburg's Vauban district — site of post-World War II French military barracks that's been transformed into the world's model for a zero-street parking, totally eco-friendly neighborhood or suburb.
Solar power, streets downsized to accommodate people instead of cars, cycling paths, rain water management — Vauban has them all. Seventy percent of Vauban's 5,000 residents don't own an automobile at all; many sold a car to move into the neighborhood and now rely on a car-sharing scheme (like ZipCar in the United States) for excursions.
Vauban's theme is walkability — not just auto-free walkways but a variety of stores a stroll from home. There's a tram direct into the center of Freiburg. Residences consist of a series of handsome four-story buildings, attractively detailed with balconies — all designed to maximize energy efficiency. Free-standing homes, our American model of the four-walled house with yard around, simply aren't permitted.
Could this be the model of future development in the United States and elsewhere? The break from our generally broad streets and minimum parking requirements is dramatic. Few American zoning laws would tolerate such a development. But the convenience, the freedom for children to wander about, the informal and livable atmosphere, provide high quality of life.
Combine that with world-standard energy efficiency — standards that may become mandatory in a post-oil, carbon-strained world — and the Vauban art of development may spread a lot more rapidly than anyone would now predict.

GTRI researchers continue to support the U.S. military's Deployable Joint Command and Control system (DJC2) through design, test and upgrade activities. GTRI has been involved for more than six years with DJC2, which is currently operational and fielded by several Unified Combatant Commands (UCC) - forces comprised of two or more services.
DJC2 is a true system - a self-contained, self-powered temporary headquarters facility. It consists of everything from computers and networking/communications technology to tents, tables, chairs, climate-control equipment and vehicles or containers for delivery.
"The time it used to take to deploy a joint task force infrastructure was significant," said Jack Hart, a senior research engineer leading the program for GTRI. "Our forces need to be able to stand up a joint task force communications infrastructure in a very short amount of time - not two or three weeks but 72 hours or less."
The GTRI team has been responsible for designing DJC2's information-technology infrastructure since the initial prototype stage. The work has included networks, wired and wireless communications, as well as newer elements such as advanced peer-to-peer inter-networking (APPI) convergence and satellite communication terminals.
The work is directly sponsored by the DJC2 Joint Program Office. GTRI has also performed related work for the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Panama City, Fla.
One major hurdle, Hart explains, has involved migrating from the serial equipment originally used by the joint task forces. The serial approach was based largely on modem communications, which made tactical communications between field units and headquarters problematic.
To enable the migration, GTRI has designed a seamless, phased transition from the original equipment to Ethernet systems based on current Internet protocol (IP) technology. Hart's team created a hybrid architecture that has allowed older serial equipment to connect to new IP systems when required.
Now that the DJC2 rapid-response kit has been designed, tested and fielded, GTRI is focusing on enhancing important technical elements of the system.
Hart's team is developing a secure DJC2 wireless architecture, expected to become one of the few operational systems that is fully accredited for security. To support this wireless architecture, the team is utilizing wide band satellite communications technologies such as the Ka and X systems.
GTRI is also researching ways to further shorten DJC2 deployment times. One approach is to make field and base workstations virtually identical so that users will become oriented more quickly.
"When a JTF is deployed, it's typically a brand-new environment - people often don't get the same e-mail or application suites," Hart said. "We want everyone to sit down in the field and have everything look like what they trained on or used back in headquarters - even though that involves coordinating many moving parts."

Emergency Flashlight Works With Any Type Of Battery
Panasonic creates a handy device that accepts AAA, AA, C or D-type.
Panasonic in Japan has created the Any Battery Light, which is a flashlight that works with different-sized batteries. The gadget was created to tackle the problem of finding the right batteries in an emergency event. The light features a rotating power switch where the user can choose which battery to use.
The Any Battery Light accepts AAA, AA, C or D-sized batteries, which all can be used at the same time. The light is dimmer when the user is only relying on a single AAA, but it's still bright enough to get around.
Panasonic created the device as a result of the earthquake and tsunami disaster that hit the coasts of Japan last year. The emergency flashlight comes in the two colors, red and white.

EXCLUSIVE: Some of the young people, who achieved Internet notoriety by showcasing their lavish, over the top lifestyles on the Rich Kids Of Instagram Tumblr blog, are headed to television. I've learned that E! has put in development Rich Kids Of Beverly Hills, a new unscripted series that revolves around a group of 20-something friends living in a world of extreme wealth who caught notice on Instagram. On the proposed series, produced by ITV Studios America in association with Leepson Bounds Entertainment, the offspring of the most elite families and billionaire moguls party, play and support each other against a backdrop of wealth. (Rich Kids Of Instagram is not involved in the project.) Rich Beverly Hills teens have been a staple on TV with the two Beverly Hills, 90210 series. On the unscripted side, well-to-do young residents of the posh neighborhood are featured on another NBCUniversal cable series, Bravo's Shahs Of Sunset.
E! Developing 'Rich Kids Of Beverly Hills' Reality Series

Who cannot work and are stupid but hey they wear loubatian shoes
I am so grossed out to see E get even trashier. Why would anyone want to watch bunch of twenty somethings with no talent showing off their money (which probably is exaggerated )?.
Bravo, E for being such a good role model for the young and stupid youth in this country and sadly around the world!!.
Cue the violins on rodeo drive.
As if we're suffering from a lack of nauseating, entitled rich brats. Great original programming, E.
ABC's "SECRET Rich Kids of Beverly Hills" will be much better!
Let them eat cake.
Yet another reason why I don't watch E!
um, aren't all of these reality shows basically about the rich kids of beverly hills?
Typical E! It's either strippers or entitled rich people. Yet again unoriginal, and utterly a waste of our time.
Wow, more stupid television. Honey Boo-boo, Desperate Houswives of where ever the hell, Kardashians, "hey America, be more stupid and fatter too!", and now rich brats of Beverly Hills. There are QUALITY reality shows, things that are educational or inspiring that show goodness in the world. Unfortunately a strong majority of the world are STUPID and would rather watch this crap. I don't know people, maybe our children should go back to like, reading a book once in a while. Then this crap wouldn't have a platform and our society wouldn't be going to such shit.
quality reality shows exist… usually they are called documentaries.
wow. more brainless reality shows..and clearly, brainless, out-of-ideas producers. ew and ugh!
Wow so E! is encouraging the behaviour of these spoiled, bratty kids who just spend their parents money …. good job E!
well, BRAVO used to run opera and classical music….
….I used to LEARN something from THE LEARNING CHANNEL….
…..and A+E used to actually HAVE arts and entertaiment so……
….but E! has always been straightforward with their mission statement….
….and MTV used to be all about music
oh, and I forgot:
….AMC used to show American movie "classics"
Thank God. Because, you know, we don't have enough of this crap on TV already.
what have these people done that we are rewarding them this way, what the fuck man, seriously.
If E! and TWC had a carriage dispute and TWC dropped E!, would anyone notice?
Overheard a young girl, about 7, say to her mom that when she grows up she wants "cameras to follow her around like they do on TV." True. Story. You suck E!
G*d. Damn. It. You losers keep winning at the expense of our youth. Give your audience something to "aspire" to, not just consume.
This has got to be the stupidest most disgusting idea for a reality show since My Super Sweet 16.
Isn't it fascinating that American reality shows focus on the rich, while Japanese reality shows focus on the poor.
Dear people of E.
Please, please, please, crawl into a hole and pull it in after you.
The Human Race
I think Poor Kids of Beverly Hills would be a better show. This week we will search for the one 16 year old that doesn't have a Range Rover (gasp!). I mean really, aren't all kids of Beverly Hills "rich" (comparatively)
More garbage = more money for E. Oh well, give the people what they want.

I just wanted to drop you a brief line and tell you that I'm really not interested in anything you have to say. Grow up, and try to do something meaningful with your life, and maybe you will straighten up. I doubt it, but the Lord does, sometime, work in mysterious ways. For now, though, I'll pray for you, and hope that you can mend your ways. Have a wonderful day, anyway, my friend!!!

We are all people, who call the elected president childish names, then pretend to walk the high road ?? Who're you fooling, senile "guy" ?? NOBODY !!!
#26641 Mar 14, 2013
The elected President is just that,elected.It does not mean we bow down,nor that we like his endeavors.We also ,have the right to speak as we feel and think.So do you.I have much respect for the position,none for the present and little for the current group of Democrats in Congress.You are currently getting in that group.
#26642 Mar 14, 2013
I have no respect for you senile hypocrite, the games of name calling is so childish, you ceased to matter.
#26643 Mar 14, 2013
What is ,or,do you have,an opinion on the current Bills in the Senate?What would you like to see in a Immigration Reform ,and should it leave out amnesty or secure the Border?What do you think of the gun control measure?There are other things to occupy your mind,if you try! any position on the current items being brought up in the Senate?What is your opinion of the Senate Budget?What do you think of the Gun Bill?So far,what do you think of the spending of almost one Billion on the 20 frivilous items on the news last night?
Now go home and study up a little on what is going on,before you start callin names.
#26644 Mar 14, 2013
I have no respect for partisan idiots, who say poor folks shouldn't have healthcare, but go to church and pretend to be Christians. Sorry white noise, you're a senile fool....
#26645 Mar 14, 2013
Hey dummy, telling strangers on the web what to do is almost as dumb as you....
#26646 Mar 14, 2013
Just last week a young man in his mid twenties was admitted for kidney stones. He is lazy and never keeps a job for long.Do you think he paid his bill? No, but he continues to use the medical services. Mandating insurance be paid by the legal, working citizens and allowing lowlives get health coverage for free is the problem. Our borders need barred. No darn illegals. The spending needs to stop. Now!!! The poor already have coverage. They fall under income guidelines and are either on SSI or refuse to work.
#26647 Mar 14, 2013
Pretending sick people are automatically low lives and wanting people to die, is YOUR real problem.
#26648 Mar 14, 2013
No, I actually know someone with the same medical condition was charged $20,000 for a procedure this lazy person basically got for free. Now, unfair nonetheless.
#26649 Mar 14, 2013
"I know someone".... Best possible "story". If you're a crap weasel.
#26650 Mar 14, 2013
Btw- If you'd used anything, but a round number... Your "BS story" would be more "believable", moron.
#26651 Mar 14, 2013
The One person was my brother. And the other my ex's family. I know exactly what the hell I'm referring to.
#26652 Mar 14, 2013
Blather and BS....

#26654 Mar 15, 2013
its really sad , theres no way to discuss anything with the hypnotized obozoites, they are clueless, dependents of the gubment and dont want it any other way, they have never had anything and know they will never have anything because their only goal in life is to have someone else provide their means
#26658 Mar 15, 2013

Conservative Girl Adventures - CPAC Day 3 - Part 2 Glen Beck
CPAC 2010 came to a close last night with Glen Beck as the Keynote speaker. His speech was an impassioned one about his own trials and tribulations. He spoke about his own battles with alcoholism that caused him to lose virtually everything. He was broke; living in a one room apartment, his marriage failed which caused him to lose the everyday contact with his children. He had hit bottom. From this bottom he rebuilt his life. This was his "Come to Jesus" moment. The question that he was asking is that has the American government had theirs.
Beck didn't hold back on republicans. He certainly wasn't there to make nice to the GOP. And I say yeah. The GOP needs to hear that the problems that are going on in our country cannot be blamed all on one party. The truth is we are all to blame; the politicians who are out of control and the American electorate who sat by passively and allowed it to happen.
Of course, it wouldn't be Beck without the chalkboard, which by the way got a standing O. His speech went into some history of the progressive movement, starting with Teddy Roosevelt. I read around some blogs that he is mischaracterizing Roosevelt's presidency and ignoring the good things that President Roosevelt accomplished. As usual his point was lost on some. President Roosevelt accomplished some good things while he was in office, but a part of his legacy was the first building block of progressivism. That cannot be denied. My gosh, even Hillary Clinton has gone back to Roosevelt at different times throughout her career; a "modern day Teddy Roosevelt". John McCain has been quoted as saying that Teddy is one of his favorites. Two progressives that start on different sides of the spectrum, but end up in the same exact place; out of control big government. Teddy Roosevelt was the President that took the first step towards big government in this country, leading us away from the founding principles of limited government that leads to individual liberty. The main point that Beck was trying to make was that party affiliation does not matter; it is the policies that matter.
He quoted the right's beloved President Reagan and said it is still morning in America. We all just have to stand up and demand that our government start behaving in a way that will allow us to still see it.

He was on fire. Especially at the end. I loved the way he described the Statue of Liberty.

The speech was inspiring and I hope the GOP takes heed.
Glad you enjoyed CPAC. What a great experience for you. And the perfect year to attend...when conservatism is on the rise!

Did you know?
The village of Dullstroom was originally called 'Dull's-stroom' (Dull's stream), when it was originally proclaimed a town by Paul Kruger in 1892.
The Vygenhoek Organic Spa is situated in Dullstroom, a village known more for its fly-fishing dams, quaint shops and country restaurants than for its health and beauty offerings.
Vygenhoek sets itself apart from the competition as the owners have really taken the concept of being fully 'organic' to heart. The spa was conceptualised around 'holistic wellness' and provides a range of treatments that steer away from the synthetic and embrace the natural.
This Dullstroom spa, is known for its very simple, yet focused philosophy, and while the words 'organic' are bandied about with wild abandon these days, at Vygenhoek you can be guaranteed that only the best natural products are used in treatments. Therapies include hydrotherapies that utilise the healing power of water.
The balneotherapy is a popular treatment in which mineralised thermal waters help to restore and rejuvenate. There are a number of seaweed and algae wraps available as well as herbal rubs and body polishing treatments using sugar and organic Arabica coffee beans.
At this Dullstroom spa you'll also find a variety of massages including shiatsu, Swedish, and a unique bamboo massage which uses various bamboo sticks to assist in drainage and relaxation.
In terms of beauty treatments there are several good skin treatments available including the Vygenhoek warm honey express facial. On the more spiritual side of things reiki and reflexology are also on the menu and there's a meditation garden with beautiful views, if you need further inspiration. A fun aspect to this spa is that there are also treatments available for children between the ages of three and 12.

Retiring educators loved what they did, their students, their districts
Sandi Denti has a lifetime of memories packed in a three-ring binder.
It can barely hold all the awards, letters, and notes she's received from students and colleagues after teaching for nearly two decades at South Fayette Middle School.
A principal once told her to "keep a warm and fuzzy file, because there are days when you think what you are doing doesn't make a difference," said Denti, who retired this month from instructing math. "Then you pull out a letter like this (one in her file) and you think somewhere along the line, it does make a difference."
Margaret Sollon, who has 37 years as an educator, most recently as principal of McClellan School in the West Jefferson School District, likely would echo Denti's sentiments. Her office, which she left this month when she retired, featured pictures of her 2-year-old granddaughter, Olivia. The photos were there not just to brag.
"That was to let (students) know that every child in this building has someone that loves them the way I love her," Sollon said.
Both women said that the greater community of students, teachers, parents and administrators, as well as a love for education, buoyed them in their careers.
Denti, who left teaching at one point to raise her son and daughter, was hired at St. Agatha School, now Holy Child, in Bridgeville to resume her career before going to South Fayette 18 years ago. St. Agatha was special to her, but so is South Fayette.
"I've been at all these different school districts, and I can truly say this: Never have I seen a school that has been so passionate about learning," she said of South Fayette. "The teachers are absolutely wonderful."
She will miss her middle school students, too. Although middle schoolers are known to be a challenging bunch, "You can tell them what you think, and they never hold a grudge.
"They're honest. They're as honest as the day is long. Plus, you can still get the excitement out of them. If you are excited about a subject, it's going to show and spill over to them."
Sollon, who began her career as a home economics and early childhood education teacher before eventually becoming an administrator, draws accolades from parents and fellow employees.
"She just loved to be with people, to be with the kids," said McClellan secretary Liz Grieves.
"She fought for her teachers," said second-grade teacher Lisa Marcheleta. "She had no problem speaking her mind. It's a great feeling when you have that trust with your principal."
"The community embraced me, and they will always have a special place in my heart," said Sollon. "The students here at West Jeff are kind, loving and generous."
Denti's career fulfills her early desire to become a teacher.
"(Growing up) my mother had a blackboard, and I would teach the kids in the neighborhood," she said. "I would play school after school was out.
"I always wanted to teach. There was no question."
She says she will spend more time with her family in retirement, as well as travel and pursue her love of dancing.
Sollon has similar plans. Honored this year by the Pleasant Hills police department for her work in supporting McClelland's DARE program, she hopes to keep in touch with all associated with the school. An "office ladies" monthly card club will keep her in the loop.
"We were a good blend. We were a good unit, a good team," she said.

The PRIMA Project
Vikram Andem (vandem at fnal dot gov)
PRIMA ( PRIvilege Management and Authorization) is a system which provides enhanced grid security.
PRIMA is both a comprehensive grid security model and system. The model describes how privileges are created, distributed, shared, selected, and bound to resource requests. The model also describes how the privileges relate to policies defined by resource managers and how the intent of the security system can be enforced.
In PRIMA, a privilege is a platform independent, self contained representation of a fine-grained right. PRIMA achieves platform independence of privileges by externalizing fine-grained access rights to resource objects from the resource's internal representation.
For example, a privilege for a file access right is abstracted from the way file access rights are stored in the file meta information by the operating system. The PRIMA representation uses a standard XML-based language to encode the externalized form of the privilege. A privilege is self-contained in that its meaning is fully determined by the information contained in the privilege.
PRIMA provides for the grid layer management and delegation of privileges on a userto -user and administrator-to-user basis. The holder of privileges can selectively provide individual privileges to grid resources when requesting access. This enables least privilege access to resources and ensures that the user has fine-grained control over resource usage of requested services. Resource administrators create and manage polices for their resources via grid layer PRIMA mechanisms. The user-supplied privileges are combined with the administrator-provided policies to render a dynamic authorization decision.
OSG Deployment
In OSG a VO will have to provide VO membership information e.g. via VOMS
The Privilege Project functionality developed for OSG-0 enables primarily two improved ways to manage the assignment of local user accounts:
The infrastructure provided by the Privilege Project components allows for additional functionality to be provided in the future. This functionality can include fine-grained access control decisions based on advanced access control policies as well as distributed management of access control through direct delegation of access rights.
The Authorization architecture on a compute element shows the components needed for "centralized identity mapping" in blue (PRIMA module, GUMS Server) and the additional components that enable "role-based identity mapping" in pink (VOMS-Proxy-Init). The light green components (VOMS and VOMRS) are already present and required for Grid03 VOs
The following sections provide information on what Privilege Project components are required to achieve either only the "centralized identity mapping" or also the "role-based identity mapping" functionality and their dependencies.
Centralized Identity Mapping Functionality and Components
Two support centralized identity mapping on compute resources two components are required. The PRIMA module on each gatekeeper and the GUMS server for each administrative domain (local user account domain).
1. PRIMA module requirements
Pre- Web services:
- Globus Gatekeeper with the Grid-map callout introduced in GT3.2 or later and compiled against the OpenSSL library version 0.9.7. This version of the Globus Gatekeeper is distributed with VDT 1.3
- Ability to open an outgoing HTTPS connection to the appropriate GUMS Server
Web services:
- Globus Web service gatekeeper (globus-ws) introduced in GT4. This version of Globus Gatekeepr is distributed with VDT 1.3.9
- The security descriptor page explains how to set up the security for a service (or a client). For GT4 PRIMA, we'll need to set the AuthZ to use the osg.opensciencegrid.authz.gt4.OSGAuthorization class. We should be able to do this by following the instructions: Something like:
<securityConfig xmlns="http://www.globus.org">
<authz value="osg:org.opensciencegrid.authz.gt4.OSGAuthorization"/>
2. GUMS requirements

Subject: Re: SHAKSPER: Fat
Both Kittredge and Tucker Brooke (Yale) interpret "fat" as meaning "out of training."
I think I'm more inclined to go with Clarke. I'm not necessarily interested in the idea of Hamlet being a whale, but I am interested in the idea of the appearance of the character changing over time and having that reflected by the actor on the stage, by cosmetics, etc. I don't think that this necessarily happens too often on the stage, or hasn't really in at least anything I've seen. I can't say for sure how this would strengthen or weaken anything, I'm just interested in it. This mainly stems from something a colleague of mine once said to me about Falstaff, how if he were directing the play, he might actually have Falstaff lose weight or become more haggard towards the end of the play so as to reflect the way he becomes diminished by Hal. Therefore, as Hamlet is more of a thinker than a mover, as is illuminated by Clarke, here, I think it'd make sense to have Hamlet appear heavier, weighed down towards the end. By the time he realizes that man is no more than a beast "if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed," and has an opportunity to maybe, now that he's mentally prepared, physically prepare himself for exacting his revenge he may still not have enough time to get fully fit for the action of the end of the play. Thus, he'd still appear a bit heavier than before/earlier on in the play.
So, I'm not so much interested in the idea of Hamlet being an over-eater, as amusing as the thought may be. I am more interested in the idea of, having been consumed in and by his thoughts, by "things rank and gross in nature," how can this be visibly manifested (somewhat) in his appearance.
The language of appetite echoes throughout the play, and so because he may be regarded as a virtue ethicist who theorizes on reason vs. appetite, the possibility exists that the internal conflict between reason and appetite may exhaust him to the point of caving and giving in to appetite. But again, I'm not interested in food so much, or what food and drink may do/have done to him, so much as I am interested in what time may do to him and how a perhaps more realistic depiction of this could be made on the stage.
Can anyone a) tell me of a production in which he/she has seen a character change/look different over time? b) tell me how Dover Wilson interprets/explains "fat"? Would that I had a copy of his Cambridge edition.
PS: I have seen a production of Caesar with a fat Cassius. That's just about as bad as it gets.

Subject: "the fat weed"
I like Eric Johnson-DeBaufre's guess on "fat" as maybe short for "fatigate":
>My own position is that "fat" is Shakespeare's truncation of "fatigate,"
>an adjective in regular use during the period and one especially
>favored by Elyot in "The Boke named the Governour," a work
>Shakespeare almost certainly knew.
But why go back to Elyot when we can go forward to Coriolanus?
. . . from face to foot
He was a thing of blood, whose every motion
Was timed with dying cries: alone he enter'd
The mortal gate of the city, which he painted
With shunless destiny; aidless came off,
And with a sudden reinforcement struck
Corioli like a planet: now all's his:
When, by and by, the din of war gan pierce
His ready sense; then straight his doubled spirit
Re-quicken'd what in flesh was fatigate,
And to the battle came he; where he did
Run reeking o'er the lives of men, as if
'Twere a perpetual spoil: and till we call'd
Both field and city ours, he never stood
To ease his breast with panting. [Cominius, Coriolanus, Act II, scene ii]
I wonder, did any other writer of the era use "fat" in a way that suggests "fatigate"? For that matter, who else among Shakespeare's contemporaries used this word, a worthy companion to the "inkhorn" terms coughed up by Marston/Crispinus in Jonson's Poetaster?
When Shakespeare has Gertrude say, "He's fat, and scant of breath . . .", it seems to me that he may be recollecting his previous uses of the word "fat" within this play—as when The Ghost of Hamlet Sr. says to his son:
. . . I find thee apt;
And duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed
That rots itself in ease on Lethe wharf,
Wouldst thou not stir in this. [Act I, scene v.]
Hamlet's dad seems to be calling up a debauched sort of youthful prince, dull of thought while swaying with the tide, with perhaps a touch of syphilis suggested in that "rots". This, of course, is what the father's spirit warns his son not to be. And why should this comparison come to mind? Maybe because Hamlet Sr. had some valid fears that Junior's default mode of being was, indeed, a "fat weed."
Put a ton of flesh around Hamlet's bawdy wit and say hello—to Sir John Falstaff?

Subject: Fat
Once again, my curiosity was pricked.
I looked at it in LEME: The Lexicon of Early Modern English, the OED, Lion (Literature Online), and the online version of Shakespeare's Words: http://www.shakespeareswords.com/
In reverse order, I searched Lion in texts from 1585 to 1660 and found 764 hits in Poetry, 798 hits in Drama, and 182 hits in Prose. These were far too many to look at this time.
I looked at the OED to confirm what I had found in LEME. In the OED fat appears as a noun, an adjective, and a verb.
Fat as an adjective has the various meanings of With respect to bulk or condition.
Fat as noun appears in three senses:
Fat (n1) has the meaning of A vessel; A vessel of large size for liquids; a tub, a dyer's or brewer's vat, a wine cask; A cask or barrel to contain dry things; and Used as a measure of capacity.
Fat (n2) as The adj. used absol. The fat part of anything.
Fat (n3) A presumptuous, conceited dandy; a fop.
As a verb, fat has the meanings:
To anoint, 'make fat' (the head); to load (an altar) with fat;
To bedaub with fat or grease; hence, transf. to cover thickly;
To grow or become fat;
To make fat, fatten; usually, to feed (animals) for use as food;
In the manufacture of leather, to smear over with fat-liquor; to fatten for sale or slaughter;
To enrich (the soil) with nutritious and stimulating elements; to fertilize.
I began by searching LEME from 1585 to 1660 and got 461 hits for fat. With the exception of the occasional specialized uses of dyer's vats, measure of capacity, and fops, most appeared to have one of these three meaning from Robert Cawdrey's A Table Alphabetical (1604): 1. corpulent: grosse of body, fat, or great; 2. grease: fat; 3. vnguent: an oyntment, or fat iuyce; and occasional uses in the sense of this definition from Henry Cockeram's English Dictionary (1623): impingue: To make fat.
As I was writing up these results, it occurred to me that I should consult David and Ben Crystal's Shakespeare's Words.
The phrase "fat weed" that Marie discusses above is not annotated.
Consulting the Glossary, I found the following:
fat (adj)
- hefty, substantial, full-bodied (1H4 2.1.68 [Gadshill to Chamberlain] If I hang, I'll make a fat pair of gallows)
- gross, heavy, dull (TN 5.1.107 [Olivia to Orsino, of his love-suit] It is as fat and fulsome to mine ear / As howling after music)
- fertile, rich, productive (2H4 4.4.54 [King Henry IV to Clarence] Most subject is the fattest soil to weeds)
- stuffy, fusty, close (1H4 2.4.1[Prince Hal to Poins] come out of that fat room)
fat (n)
- plenty, wealth, abundance (R3 5.3.259 [Richmond to his soldiers] Your country's fat shall pay your pains the hire)
- vat, wine cask, barrel (AC 2.7.13 [Boy singing, as if to Bacchus] In thy fats our cares be drowned)
fat (v)
fatten, feed up, nourish (Ham 4.3.21 ([Hamlet to Claudius] We fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots). Also, TC 2.2.48, Tit. 3.1.202, Tit. 4.2.177, and TNK 3.6.12.
My cursory searching was not exhaustive or particularly meticulous, but I never found an entry that I could vaguely say used fat to mean sweating or fat to mean fatigued, weary, tired. Perhaps the answer to this crux lies in the 1,744 hits in Lion that I do not have a few days to explore.
The context of the meaning in the last scene of Hamlet seems to me to imply sweating or fatigued, yet I have not yet found a direct correspondence between these connotative senses and the word fat. Maybe it is simply a reference to the 32 year-old Burbage's girth, or maybe it's just a mystery.

BGE v1.2 is now available for download. It is to be considered in beta status for the time being.
The main features of this update are:
¢ Added a "Shuffle Locations" command, which shuffles the on-screen locations of all the currently-selected units
¢ Bug fixes
The format for Game Files and Deployments has not changed since v1.0.
This is a Full Install. A patch version is available below.
Download BGE v1.2 here:
Windows version (49.0 MB)
Mac version (50.0 MB)
For convenience, BGE v1.2 is also available as a patch for BGE v1.1. You must already have BGE v1.1 installed in order to use this patch.
BGE v1.2 Patch for Mac & Windows (5.7 MB)
How to "install" this patch: Unzip the downloaded file, then simply move the included files into the corresponding BGE v1.1 folders, overwriting the existing files when prompted.
Although a ReadMe file with the information below is contained in the BGE v1.2 download, some people might find it useful to see the changes prior to downloading the zip file.
Version History:
¢ Added a "Shuffle Locations" command to the "Arrange" submenu of a multi-unit selection's contextual popup menu. Selecting this command will shuffle the on-screen locations of all the currently-selected units. This feature should come in handy for games that use a randomly-generated game board composed of component tiles or cards (e.g., flash cards in a memory game).
¢ Bug fix: When mousing over units without any unit/s selected, unit portraits were sometimes not being displayed in the upper right corner of the map window if the mouse cursor was moved from one unit to another without ever passing over the game board or a component set to "Tile" first.
¢ Bug fix: Double quotes ( " ) can no longer be typed into a unit's Notes. Doing so would make Game Files and/or Deployment files unreadable to BGE.
¢ Bug fix: The chat input field on the Chat window was sometimes receiving Paste events even when BGE was not the active application and the Chat window was not the active window.
¢ Bug fix: When a media asset with a file name over 27 characters (not counting the file type extension) was imported into BGE, the asset would not be found when needed.

A lady sits near the aisle deftly tapping on her Ipad; a man next to her scrolls through his Blackberry trackpad; a young man sitting across from both of them has his eyes fixed on his Kindle; while next to him sits a college girl with her laptop. Riding an early morning train from Long Island to Penn Station, New York, will give you a glimpse of how we've come to exchange information in the digital age. The tools and technologies that people use today are transforming the way we view and publish media content.
A recent (2010) study done by Nielson found that:
· Over 303 million people view more than 2.5 billion web pages each month.
· More than 123 million Americans are online each month, with the average viewer reading more than 43 articles or news items a month.
In the past, traditional journalism served as a medium in which people received news, current events and shared opinions. As digital content publishers build strong foundation of resources and credibility, more and more people are turning online to complement television and print publications.
So, what makes up this digital landscape?

Not sure of the first question, BUT, if you could contact the Land Registry
Office where the land is registered, and obtain a copy of the first, say 3
pages of abstract, then you could get instrument numbers of many things:
Deed (with consenting spouse's name) to the next owner, a mortgage (with
consenting spouse's name), perhaps he died owning the land and you could
locate a freelancer at the Registry Office to search the General Register
for a will, or Letters of Administration setting out his next of kin, etc.
Lots of possibilities at the Registry Offices.
I'd be happy to answer any other questions on the matter (I am a freelancer

ISM Weakness, Europe Meltdown Cause Mild Discomfort in Markets
The service sector, font of all of America's low-paying jobs, cooled a bit in June, according to the Institute for Supply Management, news that has caused the stock market's monocle to fog in a mildly discomfiting manner.
The ISM services index fell to 53.3 from 54.6 in June, below economist forecasts of 54. The underlying measures were just as crushingly dull as the headline number, so I won't bore you with them. Suffice to say the service sector is still hiring just enough people to ask you if you want fries with that.
The minor disappointment caused stocks to lose a teensy bit more ground than they were already losing. Apparently a sluggish service sector, which makes up the bulk of the US economy, along with an ongoing apocalyptic meltdown in European debt markets, is good for a whopping 10 point decline in the Dow and 5 points off the S&P 500. Good to know.
The Treasury market is moving a little more, with the 10-year yield down to 3.09%. Someone please tell these people that they're not supposed to be buying bonds any more now that the Fed is not doing it (as much)!

The Australian dollar dipped below $US1.04 for the first time since January 1 in US trade early on Tuesday morning, but recovered as the Australian sharemarket surged throughout the day.
The ASX/S&P 200 finished up over 1 per cent and the dollar recovered to $US1.044.
The dollar has fallen against the euro as investors return to that continent with more confidence, leading to some loss of strength against the US dollar.
NAB economists say a return to equities, including in Europe, is hurting the $A. "We have so far this year seen consistent net selling of Australian financial assets, concentrated on government bonds," they said in a note to clients.
NAB predicts the dollar will fall to $US1.01 by the end of the quarter, and argue that will require two things: Europe to start to look even healthier, and "domestic developments".
The remainder of the week will see some important data releases that will reveal the health of the Australian economy.
NAB's business confidence survey, released on Tuesday, got the week off to a modest start. The survey showed only a small improvement in an index stuck below its long-term average.
Thursday will see an update on Australia's terms of trade. It is likely to fall despite a resurgent iron ore price, according to JPMorgan analysts.
Those factors would both provide some negative pressure on the dollar, which could gel with American developments. The meeting of the US Federal Open Market Committee this week will provide another window into US monetary authorities' commitment to quantitative easing. Its last meeting revealed that some insiders wanted QE axed, and soon. The end of QE would be likely to push the Australian dollar down.
