February 8-9, 2013
Thanks to everyone who attended this year's Human Development Conference, the fifth annual HDC. On behalf of the Ford Family Program for Human Development and Solidarity, the Center for Social Concerns and SIT Study Abroad, we extend our gratitude to all presenters, faculty members, and attendees who cultivated a true sense of collaboration through discourse on the state of human development today. Thanks also to Notre Dame's Office of Sustainably, which helped us make it a "green" event.
"In the Field: Cultivating Collaboration and Innovation" was a fascinating two-day conference, with more than 200 students, faculty members, and development experts in attendance from around the world. Over 70 students presented their own research on development-related topics, conducted in more than 30 countries. Research presentations and subsequent discussion ranged from perceptions of trust among Peruvian victims of sexual abuse, to organic agricultural certification in India, to combating cancer in Samoa.
Ford Program Director Fr. Bob Dowd opened the HDC with remarks about the importance to students in the field of an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to understanding development. Five panel sessions, almost 15 poster presentations, and a photography contest all reflected the conference theme of innovation and community partnership.
The atmosphere of the conference was invigorating. "This conference has been such an exciting experience," said A. J. Wildey of Dickinson College, who was delighted that she was able to freely discuss development issues with similarly passionate young people.
Keynote speaker Sara Sievers, founding executive director of the Center for Globalization and Development at Columbia University's Earth Institute, addressed the student participants in the closing session. Sievers spoke about her hope for the future of development, asserting, "You are the trailblazers in changing the face of the world."
The Ford Program would also like to thank the visiting delegations of faculty and students from Uganda Martyrs University, Ford's partner in on-site development work in Uganda, as well as from Holy Cross College in Agartala, India. We are grateful for their participation in this annual conference.
Please stay tuned for next year's conference. The call for papers will be sent out in fall 2013. We look forward to seeing you next February!

Group accounting
Volatility of the markets let requirements grow disproportionately
The ever-increasing demands of international capital markets and the increased volatility in procurement and sales markets put a lot of pressure and major challenges on the management of globally operating companies especially with regard to the prognosis capabilities and responsiveness as well as from the perspective of risk management. This refers not only to the actual accounting and consolidation, but also to the derived disciplines of investment management, planning and reporting. Because the risks of misstatement and ensuring compliance with all legal requirements in the consolidated financial statement are faced with at least as high demands of early identification of risks arising from the operating business and its future impact in the company's reports, as well as a professional and at the same time cost-efficient capital market presence.
Performance tuning for your group controlling
As in the traditional production areas of a company we focus our expertise on adding value in the consolidated financial control processes. The ranges from focusing on the real success drivers in business planning and reporting, creating clear structures between the holding and operating companies to the efficient integration of the group consolidation and investment control in a unified system structure. This leads to a substancial acceleration and increased validity of group controlling, individually adapted to the respective requirements of our customers.
Creating competitive advantages through a consistent control model and rapid information flows
Each controlling model is only as good as the effectiveness of measures and decision that can be derived from it. The focus on few selected success factors within the entire company portfolio, reflected in addition to the reporting and in the incentive systems, as well as the unconditional integration of the internal and external point of view, can have an impact on the effect and the momentum of control interventions. Creating a decisive competitive advantage in a time of high volatile markets. And it not only increases the acceptance of many far from the market respected areas, but brings them right on par with the decision-makers in the operating business units.

Effective cover letters make you stand out from the crowd
What's the most important part of a typical job application? Is it your CV / Resume? Is it the years of experience you've built up? Is it your unique blend of skills and expertise? The correct answer is none of the above! While all of those things are crucial components of the perfect job application, a really successful application is about getting you invited for interview. The For that, the single most effective weapon in your job-seekers arsenal is your covering letter. Why you need a great cover letter for your job application The term "covering letter" implies that this is perhaps a less important document than the material it accompanies. Not so! You see, when you're applying for a job, your covering letter is much more than just a note to accompany the enclosed documentation. It is what the recruiter is going to read FIRST. It's not so much a covering letter, it's more of a sales letter.
Sell yourself with your covering letter
Your cover letter is the first opportunity you have to really shine… and to impress upon your employer just how perfect you are for the job. It's worth spending a bit of time getting this right:
- Be professional, be personable, be you: don't be afraid to let your personality shine through in your covering letter. Stay professional, focused and on-topic, but remember that your personal flair, affability and enthusiasm are just as important when it comes to hiring you.
- Play to your Strengths: your CV contains a a record of your employment history and experience, but on it's own it rarely provides sufficient context. Your covering letter gives you the chance to show how the qualities on show in your CV can benefit his or her business.
- Be concise: use relatively short, carefully crafted sentences that are punchy and to the point. Unless you're an expert wordsmith, keeping things short and sweet will give your letter more impact.
- Do your homework: address the recipient by their correct name and title. If you don't know it a simple phone call is often enough. Show that you'll go the extra mile, even before they hire you.
- Make a list: it pays to plan ahead… and your cover letter is no different. Make a short list of points you want to get across in the letter, and refer to the list as you are writing to make sure you leave nothing out.
- Check, then double check!: once you've written your covering letter, proof read it yourself for any grammar, punctuation and spelling errors. Then put it aside overnight and proof read it again! You'll often find that coming back to it fresh after a break will reveal things you didn't spot first time around. Now give the letter to someone else to read. Remember, first impressions count!
Happy job hunting!

I love m0n0wall. I've tried several Linux based firewall distros before
and got charmed by the smallness and simplicity of m0n0. Being based on
FreeBSD, one of the most recognized secure OSes, is an interesting
I have two conections: one 256 kbits ADSL that changes IP address every
22 hours (something every ADSL provider in Argentina is doing
systematically) and one 512 kbits Cablemodem connection with dynamic IP
address, but in this case you can keep your assigned IP for months since
they have a DHCP cache and unless you disconnect for more than 8 hours.
It naturally follows that it would be QUITE nice to join both data
pipes. I've been reading about it and it's not clear to me why some
people say it's from difficult to impossible even though there are
commercial firewalls selling right now that offer dual and quad WAN
After searching and searching I've just came through this page that
applies to Linux (I think it would apply to m0n0 as well) and after
reading it (http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html) it
doesn't seem that impossible nor difficult except for the complexity of
frequent change of IP addresses that would require to reconfigure
I'd like to know whether am I wrong or not, and if I am not I'd like to
know whether it would be possible to include dual WAN routing settings
in m0n0.
Thanks for your time.

95 — By Diane M. Byrne — December 2000
A New Tradition
|Part 2: High Cotton continued
Another specific desire was a good turn of speed while enjoying extended cruising in warm climates. Considering her 241/2-knot top speed, High Cotton is well suited to making a day out of island-hopping. It's a testament to her semiplaning hull, which is solid FRP below the waterline and incorporates a 131/2-degree deadrise aft. At 20 knots and with 3,500 gallons of fuel, High Cotton realizes a 720-NM range; scaled back to 12 knots, she sees her range increase to 1,600 NM. And her 5'4" draft lets the Hirsches anchor close to shore when exploring their favorite southern latitude getaways.
The Hirsches discovered that Hargrave Custom Yachts upholds Jack Hargrave's dictum that style must evolve from smart, practical engineering. The 16-inch-wide, walkaround side decks are clear of ankle-bashing obstructions like cleats; such hardware is instead mounted outboard. The side decks, in turn, have safety rails at about hip height on most adults. Doors to each side of the house near the pilothouse give High Cotton a balanced look, but more important, they let the crew quickly access lines for docking. Stowage for fenders lies in the cockpit sole, and additional horizontal stowage areas extend deep into the superstructure to each side on the aft deck.
The classic exterior styling is paired with an equally handsome interior designed by Interiors by Shelly with input from the Hirsches. High-gloss sapelli mahogany paneling envelops most areas (it's satin-finished in the starboard-side foyer leading from the saloon to the galley), while camphor burl creates a nice contrast on counters. The prevailing wisdom that dark woods close in a room, especially onboard a "small" megayacht, doesn't apply here, thanks to the 20-foot beam and 6'8" headroom (seven-foot in the crew cabin that's tucked in the bow).
The most beautiful joinery lies in the saloon/dining area. Just forward of the dining table is a "feature wall"--really three sole-to-overhead closets for the wine locker, dishware, and linens--covered with sapelli mahogany panels arranged so their grains form diamond patterns. The design was conceived by Shelly Higgins, head of Interiors by Shelly, and also incorporates columns flanking each section.
There's more beautiful woodwork in the starboard foyer leading to the galley, although you'd never see it upon initial inspection. That's because it takes the form of a pocket door/gate fashioned like an intricate iron gate found on prewar-building elevators. The gate prevents the Hirsches' pets and grandchildren from tumbling down the stairs to the staterooms; a similar, smaller gate blocks the stairs in the galley to the crew stateroom.
The "feature wall" is repeated below decks in the VIP stateroom, which is forward off a foyer that yields access to two other guest staterooms as well as the master suite. A pop-up vanity plus his-and-her closets are crafted of the high-gloss wood, and shoji screens soften light coming from the ports. The other two guest staterooms (each containing a Pullman berth plus twins that convert to queen berths) also feature rich mahogany and shoji screens, as does the master stateroom, although it has less wood, using leather for covering bulkheads.
To ensure that the master, just forward of the engine room, would permit the Hirsches a good night's sleep, Hargrave Custom Yachts employed double insulation in the machinery space plus a third layer of insulation within the master stateroom's bulkhead. And to enable the crew and mechanics to work efficiently in the engine room, all pumps and valves are clearly labeled. Wiring runs are bundled within fiberglass races that have evenly spaced "windows" to reveal color coding. There is abundant room above each Caterpillar powerplant, and a shelf at about eye-level along the forward bulkhead groups together air-conditioning compressors. A Delta T ventilation system removes moisture from the air as it enters the machinery space.
Given High Cotton's bottom line of a little more than $3.2 million, it's obvious that Hargrave Custom Yachts is focused on building a competitively priced yacht with practical standard features and tailor-made touches. The Hirsches feel they got this and more. "I think we not only built a boat, we built a relationship that we are very fond of and happy we have," says Etta Rae. "Very true," Henry adds. That's the kind of customer satisfaction that would have made Jack Hargrave proud.

The egg oozed out into the sage butter and was absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to replicate, but I haven't quite worked my way up to making pasta at home. Sounds like I need a pasta maker for Christmas! Any ideas on fresh pasta?

McCann Students Refurbish Lions Club TrailerADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Lions Club trailer, which is used around town during events throughout the year, was in dire need of repairs.
Thanks to the faculty, staff and students in the carpentry, electrical and sheet metal departments of McCann Technical School in North Adams, those repairs were completed this month in time for the Adams summer events. The Adams Lions Club is most appreciative and thankful to everyone who participated in this project.
Revenues from refreshments sold from the trailer are used to sponsor such events and activities as college scholarships to graduating seniors at McCann and Hoosac Valley High School; the Honor Society Banquet; the Senior Center Luncheon; and support for youth organizations, nonprofit organizations and athletic teams. The Lions Club also sponsors a program that provides assistance for the purchase of eyeglasses, hearing aids and health-related services.
The club contributes to Massachusetts Eye Research, Journey for Sight, and the District Y33 EyeMobile. This specially equipped mobile unit travels to communities throughout Western Massachusetts, District 33-Y. The Lions and volunteers provide free health screenings for vision, glaucoma, hearing, diabetes and blood pressure.

Thanks to Measure Q (passed by voters in 2008), improvements were implemented in two phases — the first was the Bruins' new synthetic turf football field and accompanying track that debuted last fall.
This summer and fall the gym was remodeled and work was also done to the school's wrestling room, weight room and theater. The work was completed just in time for the completely renovated gym to shine with boys and girls basketball and wrestling seasons underway.
Construction began immediately when school let out last summer and was finished just in time for the Lady Bruins to host El Dorado and christen their new gym with a victory over their arch rivals. Ponderosa's volleyball teams played their fall season at Oak Ridge.
"Given all the things that can happen in a construction project with delays and everything, you hope for the best and it (finish date) was pretty accurate," Bruin Assistant Principal Darrin Slojkowski said. "Considering that people were working on top of one another, everything came together really well."
With prior experience developing high school gymnasiums, Slojkowski served as Ponderosa's site liaison with Carter Kelly Inc., the contractor he credits for "pulling it together;" and California Design West, the architect. Slojkowski also worked closely with El Dorado Union High School District Facilities director Patty McClellan whose department oversees new school construction, existing school and district project modernization/renovation and facilities master planning.
There are plenty of differences. The biggest is the basketball court, whose baselines originally were on the north and south ends of the gym but now are east to west. To accommodate the change, the west wall was torn down and 3,000 additional square feet were added. The seating capacity in the beautiful pine bleachers was increased from 800 to nearly 1,300.
Gone is the gym's old feel — Mr. Loken of the math department calling games from the sixth row of the bleachers, the small, cramped scorer's table occupying the first row of seats, the leaky roof and the make-due utility-table snack bar tucked in the corner. Now the atmosphere is state-of-the-art and Mr. Loken, the scorekeeper and reporters have cushy seats at the soon-to-arrive new scorer/press table. If the hunger or thirst bug bites, those dashing to the newly constructed snack bar won't miss any of the action thanks to a soon-to-be installed flat screen TV mounted to the wall compliments of boys basketball coach Andy Beal.
Also on its way for the inside of the gym is another new scoreboard and a logo for the wall.
The gym will see its first action of 2011 on Jan. 5 when the wrestling team hosts Jesuit in a dual meet and on Jan. 6 when the girls basketball team entertains Franklin.

Vaarsuvius wants to get paid, and is willing to go to any extremes to get their money.
Cast Edit
Transcript Edit
- Panel 1
Durkon is healing Roy.
Belkar: So what we've learned today is that Roy would rather be touched by a short hairy man than a hot kung-fu chick.
Roy: Shut up.
Roy: Well, the ogres are finished, I guess we're just waiting for Haley to bring back the peasant.
Vaarsuvius: Excellent. Then this is a perfect opportunity to discuss my expenses.
- Panel 2
Roy: Expenses?
Vaarsuvius: Indeed. I have taken a proverbial page out of Miss Starshine's tome and prepared a comprehensive account of my services.
- Panel 3
Vaarsuvius: I present the invoice to account for my services in the most recent battle.
- Panel 4
| Invoice Bill to: That Paladin.
Fireball 360 gp.
| —
Total 4862 gp.
- Panel 5
Miko: What exactly is a "Roaming Charge"?
Vaarsuvius: Ah. That is a 1 gp fee for every mile outside of my standard service area, back in the elven homelands.
- Panel 6
Roy: And sulfur? Bat guano? Vaarsuvius, you're not even required to keep track of these components!
Vaarsuvius: It is more the principle of the thing.
- Panel 7
Vaarsuvius: I care not one whit about the money, but I do not wish my arcane powers to be utilized in vain in a trivial battle.
Vaarsuvius: I am hoping that the knowledge that my spells come with a price attached will keep my power from being squandered.
- Panel 8
Vaarsuvius: Sir Greenhilt, as always, you have my services at your disposal. But should this one request that I alter reality on her behalf, she will be issued an appropriate bill afterwards.
- Panel 9
Miko cuts up the invoice, "slash! slash!"
Miko: I am not paying for your participation in a righteous cause, Elf.
- Panel 10
Vaarsuvius: I thought you might feel that way, so I took the liberty of preparing a revised invoice that you might find more convincing.
- Panel 11
Miko: This makes even less sense. I do not remember you casting a spell called "Explosive Ru—
Roy: NO!!!
D&D Context Edit
- Bat guano and sulfur are the material components used for casting Fireball. Characters are often not required to keep track of inexpensive components like these.
- Explosive Runes is a 3rd-level Wizard spell that explodes upon being read.
Trivia Edit
- The total price on the invoice ignores the two copper pieces for the spell components.
- The Explosive Runes spell is a running gag in the strip.

What is in this article?:
- 'Perfect' G-Code Simulation
- Initial Objective, Long-Term Goal
- Simulation + toolpath engine
- Underscores security, assurance
- Optimizes materials, manufacturing time
The objective of the two firms' agreement is to ensure "coherence and workflow" between the TopSolid CAM and NCSimul Machine simulation programming.
Machine tool operators' need for faster and simpler programming is driving software developers' strategies, and promoting more innovative process technologies. Missler Software and Spring Technologies reported a final agreement between them to integrate the latter's G-code simulation software, NCSimul Machine, as an option which can be used directly within TopSolid'Cam. The new package — TopSolid'NCSimul — will be available this year within the new release of TopSolid'Cam 7.8.
The deep-level integration between standard CAM features and high-end machining simulation is part of the two companies' strategies, but it is also an example of increasingly advanced and complete workshop solutions that are being developed in machine programming.
Spring Technologies' NCSimul Solutions platform simulates the complete machining process in real time, including cutting and tool libraries, post-processing, NC simulation, technical content publishing and DNC monitoring.
Missler Software is a French developer whose TopSolid CAD/CAM/ERP software is concentrated in mechanical manufacturing, toolmaking, wood and sheet metal processing industries.
The initial objective of the two firms' agreement is to ensure a coherence and workflow between TopSolid and NCSimul Machine. As a CAM software, TopSolid'Cam determines toolpaths that are close to the part, taking account of machine kinematics and material constraints. As a CNC simulation software, NCSimul Machine's purpose is to conduct independent checking and toolpath optimization, quickly, and close to the machine and the controller.
The combination of the two will underscore security and assurance throughout the machining process and programming stages for the customer, which is especially important when the parts being produced involved expensive materials or the machining cycle takes many hours. Defining and maintaining accurate toolpaths that optimize materials and manufacturing time is important.

9/11 Reclaiming the Truth, Reclaiming the Future -- San Francisco 10th Anniversary Event
by Carol Brouillet
As the ten-year anniversary approaches, the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance is organizing its annual 9/11 Truth Film Festival to be held on Thursday, September 8, beginning at 1:00 pm at the Grand Lake Theater, 3200 Grand Ave., Oakland, and on Sunday, September 11, beginning at 1:00 pm at the Herbst Theatre, 401 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco. Speakers and filmmakers include former Senator Mike Gravel, director of Project Censored Mickey Huff, president of the Media Freedom Foundation Dr. Peter Phillips, sister of fallen firefighter David Weiss from Rescue One and founder of Unite in Peace Michele Little, author of Mounting Evidence Dr. Paul Rea, author of Earth into Property: Colonization, Decolonization, and Capitalism Prof. Anthony J. Hall, author of Waking the Global Heart: Humanity's Rites of Passage From the Love of Power to the Power of Love Anodea Judith, author of World as Love, World as Self - Courage for Global Justice and Ecological Renewal Joanna Macy, filmmakers Ken Jenkins and Brett Smith, and radio hosts Bonnie Faulkner from "Guns and Butter," Carol Brouillet from "Community Currency" and Sherry Glaser-Love from "Our House!" In addition to the films "Psywar: The Real Battlefield Is the Mind," "You, Me & the SPP: Trading Democracy for Corporate Rule," "Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup," "Hypothesis: A Documentary about Prof. Stephen E. Jones," and "9/11: Explosive Evidence -- Experts Speak Out," there will be live streaming from 9/11 events in Toronto and Seattle.
The Toronto Hearings, sponsored by the International Center for 9/11 Studies, will be held at Ryerson University for four days beginning on September 8. These hearings will examine evidence for the inadequacy of the U.S. government's investigation and will request that a full and impartial investigation be launched into the events of 9/11, which have been used to initiate military invasions and to restrict the rights of citizens. The founder of Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Erik Lawyer, is organizing ONE: The Event - Shifting from Fear to Love, a three-day event in Seattle designed to facilitate an individual and collective shift in consciousness, encouraging the choice of " love over fear, kindness over anger, and responsibility rather than blame."
9/11 Reclaiming the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future is a benefit for the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance, whose purpose is to explore the truth and meaning behind the traumatic events of 9/11, to honor the dead and dying, and to share stories, insights and research about that day, the forgotten history that led up to it, and the decade that followed. Tickets are $10 ($7 for seniors, students, and low-income) at the door and are available in advance through the Grand Lake Theater website and for the Herbst event through the City Box Office.
Gandhi believed "Life itself is the Pursuit of Truth." Satyagraha was born out of a meeting which took place on September 11, 1906. "Satya" means "truth" and "agraha" means "pursuit of." The words combined mean Truth Force, or as Martin Luther King Jr. called it, "Love in Action." This year, we are encouraging a global satyagraha. We invite all who yearn to abolish war, injustice, tyranny, empire, racism, corporate lies, government corruption, and profits over people and planet and are pursuing truth, peace, justice, understanding, compassion, ecological wisdom, and a healthy, better future for all.
We will also be holding our tenth annual 9/11 Truth Rally, March, Parade beginning
at the Gandhi Statue at the Ferry Building in San Francisco at 10 am on September
11, 2011; we will parade through Justin Herman Plaza, up Market to Hallidie
Plaza by 11 am, then continue up Market to UN Plaza, to reach the Civic Center
by noon. From the Civic Center, it is a short walk to the historic Herbst Theatre.
In 2004, the Herbst Theatre hosted the San Francisco International Inquiry
into 9/11 in solidarity with the International Citizens Inquiry into
9/11 in Toronto and a 9/11 Citizens Commission in New York. This
year we will include live streaming of One: The Event 's "Global
Synchronized Moment of Love on 9/11 at 3:46 pm (PST) harnessing our collective
intention to shift to love-based, collaborative solutions for our planetary

It's All About Jesus
To our delight at Jubilee a few years ago a few different people who were visiting commented about our church, that it seemed to them to be "all about Jesus" rather than some other things church could be about. There is a song we have sung many times over the years that expresses the same idea "It's All About You, Jesus".

Newcastle United v Hull Live
Newcastle United start their FA Cup third round replay as favorites to go through to the next round with a win against Hull City. Sign up with us here on Live Sport network to watch all the footy live.
After their brilliant start to the season, Hull have hit a rough patch and have lost four of their last five matches. Phil Brown's side are looking woefully short of form and confidence and the Hull manager is expected to boost his side with a couple of new signings before the transfer window closes.
The Tigers suffered their eighth league defeat of the season on Saturday as they were convincingly beaten 2-0 by Everton. Hull failed to hit the target throughout the match as Everton dominated the chances and should have had won by a bigger margin.
Meanwhile Newcastle United will be high on confidence after their snatched a point against West Ham on Saturday. Goals from Craig Bellamy and Carlton Cole saw West Ham take a 2-1 lead after Michael Owen had put Newcastle ahead but Andrew Carroll equalized 12 minutes from time to help his side to a vital point.
While the first leg finished 0-0 at the KC Stadium a week ago, Hull will be looking to repeat their performance from September when they had secured a 2-1 win over Newcastle at St James Park. Marlon King scored a brace in the game to help Hull to a 2-0 lead before Xisco pulled one back for Newcastle.

Fighting for religious freedom, Congressman Jeff Landry (R, LA-03) has started an effort to assist the Catholic Church in their lawsuits against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Landry is calling on his fellow Members of Congress to join the amicus briefs he petitioned the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) to draft.
The briefs will support the 43 Catholic institutions which recently filed 12 separate lawsuits challenging the infamous HHS mandate requiring institutions facilitate certain drugs and procedures that they hold as morally objectionable.
"The President's direct assault on our religious liberty and Constitutional rights is one that Congress should work together to rescind," said Congressman Landry. "I hope my colleagues will join me on these briefs and the American people will join me in prayer to ensure no one has to violate their faith in order to comply with an ideological and unconstitutional government mandate."

Entrepreneurs looking for business support and advice are invited to attend monthly networking events in Croydon.
Ecademy Croydon is run by business adviser, coach and mentor Wendy Ager.
The mother-of-two attended the workshops for advice and support after starting her own business, Get Better Coaching in May 2010.
Mrs Ager said: "I'd been to other workshops where there were lots of people and I found it quite overpowering.
"I liked Ecademy because it was fairly small, relaxed and informal.
"Each meeting had a speaker and each time you went you would learn something you could put to use in your business."
Mrs Ager took over the running of the group last year after successfully completing a Personal Performance Coaching course.
She now supports other people looking to start or grow their businesses.
The Ecademy's next meeting is tomorrow, April 26, at Chefs, in Croydon College, Park Lane, where the topic of solving customer problems will be discussed.

Comments for Rising Waters
Rising Waters: 01/24/09
This week's story, "Rising Waters" by Patricia Ferrara is the January reprint. It was published originally in the July 1987 issue. It was later republished in the Best Horror Stories From the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (1989).
"Rising Waters" is atmospheric. Everything centers around the river that had years before the young protagonist was born rising above its banks and taken over the entire flood plain. His grandmother tells stories of being forced to abandon her home and house the waters rose above the roof tops, drowning all the old houses.
One exceptionally hot August the river begins to recede and up rising the murky ghost town. The unnamed boy of the story is hot and curious and his curiosity gets the best of him.
The story works for its creepy atmosphere, the stench of the rising houses, the creaking home that might collapse under the weight of the water at any time and the unmentionables lurking. The horror of it all though, isn't the death and the decay of the river, it's the size of the thing and the limited strength of a boy who has gotten in over his head.
The story brought to mind a number of other floods: the end of O Brother Where Art Thou (2000), the sunken train and the decaying home in Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson and the episode of Magnum PI where Magnum has to tread water in the ocean until he is rescued and in the process overcomes his fears and the painful memories of his father's death.

As an aspiring comedian and 'smart' wrestling fan whose constantly tuned into the ever-flowing internet chatter of other like-minded fans, it was a real treat to see the 'WWE Universe' get blasted by a super-nova of the ridiculously funny hash-tag trend #wwecovrbands on Twitter this week. Started by Twitter user @Bar_Nez and Chicago comedian @MartyDerosa this past Wednesday, the joke started with one tweet between the two wrestling fans, steamrolled out of Chicago, and onto becoming a world-wide trending topic by the end of the day. WWE superstars like @CMPunk, @IamJericho (Chris Jericho), and @ZackRyder joined in on the rock 'n wrassl'n humor as well. I found myself writing and reading other tweets about this joke for well over 2 hours while at work on Wednesday. It may not have been a productive day at the office, but it was certainly a day where I laughed hardest ever at any job I have ever had.
Here is the origianl Tweet that started the whole thing…
@martyderosa @WWE Jinder Mahal & Oates #wwecoverbands
The joke formula is pretty simple. You take a pro wrestling star's stage name and combine it with the name of a popular (or once popular) musical act. It sounds silly because it is, but the results are entertaining even if you can't come up with a clever phonetic spin on the formula. Here is a collection of the some of the funniest #WWEcoverband tweets posted this week. You can share your own #WWEcoverband joke with me @KevKellam.
@WWEMagazine : Husker Duke the Dumpster Droese
@Mikki_Sixx Akeem the African Dream Theater
@Mikki_Sixx Billy Guns 'N' Roses
@Joekillgallon The Velvet Undertaker
@RyanBudds Greg the Hammer My Bloody Valentine
@joemcadams They Might Be Andre the Giants
@CMPunk George Straight Edge Society
@MartyDerosa Crosby, Stills, Kevin Nash & Eric Young.
@GlitterCheese Daniel Bryan McKnight
@BdRick DJ Jazzy Jeff Hardy
I could go on and on for days. There is literally thousands of the smile-enducing gems like these on this page on twitter.com. Check out Marty Derosa continue to make Pro Wrestling funny with NWA World Champion @ColtCabana with their weekly web series, "Creative Has Nothing For You" where they spoof the behind-the-scenes life of wrestlers at the bottom of the card. The comic/wrestler duo also produce the must-see $5 Wrestling DVD series for Highspots.com, which had a sold-out crowd for a live show in Miami during Wrestlemania weekend earlier this month.

I have not seen one of his talks for several months, so I cannot comment on features etc of the 1.0 release.
The last I heard, AIX JFS , and Linux JFS are not disk compatible "yet". Linux JFS is a port from OS./2, and has no roots in AIX. I suspect that what we will see happen is that the "new" Linux JFS will be ported over to AIX with AIX v5, and then we'll see disk compatabilitiy. This is what I've heard from the IBM community.

The death of Eddie George (Edward George, or Baron George of St. Tudy in the County of Cornwall, former Governor of the Bank of England) on April 19 came as a shock. I knew he had been ill with cancer for a long time, but one is never prepared for the finality of death. This post is not an attempt to assess his place in history, but just a recording of some tales I will remember him for.

IFN gamma, also known as IFNG, is a secreted protein which belongs to the type I I interferon family. IFN gamma is produced predominantly by natural killer and natural killer T cells as part of the innate immune response, and by CD4 and CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocyte effector T cells once antigen-specific immunity develops. IFN gamma has antiviral, immunoregulatory, and anti-tumor properties. IFNG, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions, it is a potent activator of macrophages, and has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons. The IFNG monomer consists of a core of six α-helices and an extended unfolded sequence in the C-terminal region. IFN gamma is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral and intracellular bacterial infections and for tumor control. Aberrant IFN gamma expression is associated with a number of autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The importance of IFN gamma in the immune system stems in part from its ability to inhibit viral replication directly, and most importantly from its immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effects. IFNG also promotes NK cell activity.

|Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer: Can Frequent Use Cause an Elevated Blood Alcohol Level?
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2006
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|February 2006
Ethanol continues to be the most frequently abused intoxicant in the United States.4 Drug testing in various work environments has become commonplace during the past two decades and will at times include blood, breath, or urine alcohol testing.5 While valid reasons for false positive drug tests do occur, a plethora of unusual and dubious explanations have been likewise tendered. Medical Review Officers (MRO) involved in evaluating such reports rely on past case reports, knowledge of laboratory analytical techniques, and other scientific evidence to validate or negate claims of drug use in the workplace. ABHS are now found in most hospitals and health-care facilities.1,3 Only one human report of serum ethanol levels following frequent clinical use of the ABHS has been reported.7 This finding of a negative serum ethanol level in this case is likely to be reproducible in all clinical settings as the physician attempted to simulate the most extreme use of the product that would be consistent with labeling instructions. Since alcohol breathalyzer testing is based upon exhaled portions of ethanol found within the blood stream, this method of testing would likely be negative as well.
Participants will be the investigators and associate investigators of the study, who are all employees in the emergency department at Darnall Army Community Hospital. There will be no financial reward offered. Consent will be obtained on all participants. The study will be performed in the Darnall Emergency Department outside of regular duty hours. Enrolled subjects will apply 5 ml of the product (62% denatured ethanol alcohol manufactured by Kimberley-Clark) to both hands and rub until dry. This will be repeated 50 times over approximately 4 hours. Participants will have their blood drawn prior to, as well as, after completing the study. No other laboratory tests will be performed other than the alcohol level. Pre study blood alcohol levels will be ordered to assure a pre-study level of 0 mg/dl.

Master Gardener RGBI Project featured on HGTV
Sandoval County Master Gardener demonstration garden to be featured on HGTV
The work of a group of New Mexico Master Gardener volunteers is going to be featured on Gardening by the Yard, a Home and Garden Television cable network (HGTV) show hosted by Paul James.
Rio Ranchos Water-Wise Demonstration Garden was featured on the March 15, episode: Xeriscaping, Drought-Tolerant Plants, Wise-Water Practices.
The garden is a cooperative effort of the New Mexico State University Sandoval County Cooperative Extension Services Master Gardener program and several City of Rio Rancho departments, partnering with the Rio Grande Basin Initiative, local businesses and community volunteers.
The garden demonstrates that xeriscape landscape has a variety of options, which are visually appealing, and easy to duplicate or model in the homeowners garden. Practical gardening methods are taught in the garden by Master Gardeners to anyone in the community interested in gardening while using water wisely.
Paul James learned about the wise-water garden through our Sandoval Master Gardner web site Visit. He and the film crew toured the garden in May for an episode on xeriscape gardening, said Linda Poe, Sandoval County Master Gardener who was filmed with James during the tour. He was very excited about the garden. He said it was fun seeing a new garden in the making and learning about the possibilities for high altitude gardening.
Rio Rancho Wise-Water Demonstration Garden is open to the public. The garden, sitting on an acre of land, is located at 950 Pinetree Road SE, off of Southern between the post office and Esther Bone Library. The garden design demonstrates drip, sprinkle, spray and bubble irrigation systems; bark, pecan, wood chip, crusher fine and gravel mulches; plus water harvesting techniques: dry creek beds, swales, berms, and drain ways leading to catchment areas.
An entertaining half-hour program, Gardening by the Yard is designed for people who want their yards to look great but don't have a lot of time to spend on them. The host, master gardener Paul James, focuses on the lighter side of gardening and gives down-to-earth advice about gardening basics such as soil, watering and trees. He troubleshoots such common gardening difficulties as poor light and pests.

We hope that Nepal will get its constitution in 2010 so that it will be inclusionary for all of its ethnic groups and people. Hopefully the GHT will bring much needed resources to the country as Kathmandu is replete with shortages, load shedding and people. That being said having lived there for 3 months in 2009 I cant wait to go back. Namaste, Dipper 13 NYC

Indeed. Nepal is the best place to get up close to the Himalayas. With the highest mountain Mount Everest to the most popular trek of Annapurna, Nepal is the adventure lovers' paradise.

Robin Boustead has just launched his book 'The Great Himalaya Trail A Pictorial Guide'. Robin walked the length of Nepal in 2008 and 2009, and plans to do more in other Himalayan countries in 2010 and beyond. It is a great opportunity to spread the tourism over a wider area, and get money to people who really need it. Trekkers who walk the trail will get to see real Nepali village life away from the main trails. Think about it for your next trip! :)

Hi everyone -
Heading down the the wine country on Thursday and want to stop for lunch in PDX. Probably avoid downtown/pearl district as will be heading back to PDX for Sat and Sunday and staying at Hotel Deluxe (eating at Wildwood, Oba or Gruner, some places for lunch...)
So looking for something easy to get to off the highway that is really good. Have thought about the food carts up north (garden state, sugar cube...) but may want a sit down instead. Anything great up north/down south for lunch that we just shouldn't miss?

Why use a bunch of pots and pans when fennel, orzo, and chicken can be cooked in one?
The key to a toothsome alt-grain polenta is blitzing the grains for less time than you might think.
This is definitely an upgrade from the condensed cream of mushroom soup of your childhood!
Making this Greek spinach pastry in pie-form is easier than you think.
These dumplings are super light and fluffy, but still hold their shape and don't disintegrate or get gummy when cooked. The key is the ratio of liquid (buttermilk), leaveners (baking powder and baking soda), and fat (schmaltz).
It's all about the herbs—almost five cups of them! Proceed with a sharp knife.
Leeks. Shrooms. Almonds. Vegetable stock. This pasta is an umami masterpiece.
The almond oil in this recipe is so easy to make and also perfect for salad dressings.
The frittata is just a blank canvas—whoa, poetic.
This herby veggie frittata works for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.
For this soup recipe, whack the garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife; the papery skins will loosen from the cloves and you can slip them right off.
The best way to tackle this duck recipe is to braise the legs and make the relish in advance, then cook the breasts and crisp the legs on party night.
Hard cider is really wonderful to cook with: It adds a bit of sweetness, acidity, and a hint of apple. And the leftovers are great in an autumnal cocktail. Check out step-by-step photos here.
It'll take a couple of hours to make the homemade broth and cook a whole chicken (your house will smell amazing) for this soup recipe. If you've had a long day, use 2 quarts store-bought broth and shredded meat from a rotisserie chicken. Whatever method you choose, use the chicken breasts to make this amazing salad with crispy rice. Check out step-by-step photos here.
As you're crisping the rice for this chicken salad recipe, the leeks and carrots may look very dark. Don't be scared or angry at us; the veggies aren't burnt, they're just deeply caramelized and will add lots of flavor to the final dish. Check out step-by-step photos here.
Gently poaching fillets of delicate white fish in milk is the secret to an elegant yet effortless dinner.
To make this vegetarian, omit the bacon and replace with more shiitake mushrooms; sauté them until they're golden brown. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.
The lobster cooking liquid is used as the base for this multilayered and rich soup, which gets additional depth from lobster shells, corn cobs, and other summer vegetables. If serving at a party, set out the big pot of soup and the garnishes family-style and let guests doctor their own bowls.
Leeks are cooler than onions. These recipes prove it.
This burger was inspired by one of the many punny burgers from the TV show Bob's Burgers. If you're feeling really "ritzy," ask your butcher to grind a couple of well marbled cuts for you and make a signature burger blend: we like a 50/50 mix of untrimmed brisket and boneless short rib.

Matt Cassel Could Play Entire First Half Saturday For Vikings
By: Aj Mansour | KFAN.com
Mankato, MN -As the Vikings week one match up against the St. Louis Rams continues to get closer and closer, it appears as if veteran quarterback Matt Cassel continues to put some distance between himself and rookie Teddy Bridgewater for the starting spot.
Cassel took the starting reps for the team's first preseason game and today Coach Zimmer announced that Matt will take the first team reps on Saturday against the Cardinals.
"I hope Matt [Cassel] continues to do what he's been doing [on Saturday night]," Zimmer said Thursday. "He has been making the right decisions, he has been getting the team in and out of the right plays."
Cassel led the first team offense on a 10 play, 70 yard touchdown drive to open the preseason last weekend completing 5/6 passes for 62 yards. In the time since the first game he has also continued to take steps forward while Bridgewater has thrown upwards of five interceptions over the past two days.
Additionally, Zimmer tipped his hand a little bit as to how much Cassel might play this weekend.
"[Matt] has a change to have the entire first half," Zimmer told the media Thursday morning in Mankato.
That would leave the majority of the second-half for Teddy Bridgewater and unless something dramatic happens against Cassel and for Bridgewater, this is likely the same sort of snap assignments that we will see for the Vikings third preseason game next week.
Do you agree with the coaching staff that Matt Cassel should be the team's starting quarterback to start the season?

The Scouting Report
With 16:01 to play in the opening period of the San Francisco Bulls' first hockey contest—a home game with the Bakersfield Condors—Bulls forward Dean Ouellet slapped the puck into the back of the Condors' net, recording the first professional goal of his career and the first score in Bulls' franchise history. More than 40 games later, the Bulls have skated through more than half of its premiere season, continuing to build an identity as the newest member of the East Coast Hockey League. With 23 goals to go along with his season-opening strike, Ouellet joins leading scorer Peter Sivak in flummoxing opposing goalies with dizzying dekes, artful passes, and sudoku puzzles taped to the top of their net.
San Francisco Bulls
A minor-league affiliate of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, the San Francisco Bulls made their East Coast Hockey League debut in October 2012. On game days, crowds of as many as 11,000 fans flood the Cow Palace, the Bulls' home ice and the former stomping ground of the Sharks, who played in the arena for their first two seasons in the NHL. As the team looks to establish itself as a formidable ECHL presence, it gains inspiration from the Matadors the team's fiercely loyal booster club, and secret play calls encoded in the Cow Belles dance routines.

is it better to include menus as a resource, hard code them, or create them on the fly?

is it better to include menus as a resource, hard code them, or create them on the fly?
I know it realy depends on what you are doing. If you want the user to be able to modify them you would creat them on the fly. But if you are going to have a specific type of menu that is static (will not change), depends on how you like to code (hard code or resource). That should be able to give you an idea.
I like to just put it in my code, and avoid resources wherever possible for some reason.
The resources are mean and bad (lolz), load ur menu from a text file and create on the fly, And I STILL hav'nt gotton an answer about this mean resource and button Q I have on here.
no, don't load it from a TEXT file, just do something like....
/*excpert from ASMEdit...*/
enum ID {ID_VIEW = 1, ID_FILE_EXIT = 9001, ID_FILE_OPEN = 9002,
void MenuInit(HWND hwnd, HMENU hMenu, HMENU hSubMenu)
hMenu = CreateMenu();
hSubMenu = CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_FILE_NEW, "&New");
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_FILE_OPEN, "&Open");
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_FILE_SAVE, "&Save");
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_SEPARATOR, NULL, NULL);
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_FILE_EXIT, "E&xit");
AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING | MF_POPUP, (UINT)hSubMenu, "&File");
hSubMenu = CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_CMPL_A86, "Compile With A&86");
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_CMPL_NASM, "Compile With &NASM");
AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING | MF_POPUP, (UINT)hSubMenu, "&Compile With");
hSubMenu = CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_HELP_HELP, "&Help");
AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_HELP_ABOUT, "&About ASMEdit...");
AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING | MF_POPUP, (UINT)hSubMenu, "&Help");
SetMenu(hwnd, hMenu);
Ken! You noncompoop, thats wut I WAS TELLING THEM TO DO, just loaded from a file not hard coded strings lolz.
mine's prettier.
Why dont u go on IM instead of filling my email box with stupid "KEN HAS REPLIED" messages!
why don't you try unblocking me, cuz I just got off IM :-P and now I'm going.
In general, I prefer to build them as a resource because my applications have a fix menu and I don't want to bother to much with it.Quote:
is it better to include menus as a resource, hard code them, or create them on the fly?
If you need a more "dynamic" menu it's better to create it on the fly.
And you can always create a mixed menu, ie create a menu resource with some items and on the fly add/remove items depending on the application.
Why does it have to be either or? I use resources for my base menus and then alter them at run-time. It does not seem any harder for me to alter a resource menu at run-time than a non-resource menu. Besides, generating resource menus also allows me to see how the thing is going to look and act before I place it in my main window. It's probably just a matter of personal preference, but creating huge menus within code really looks ugly. I'd much rather have the beast sitting in a resource file somewhere.
I don't see what the problem is with resource menus. If you are not using a library that allows for dynamic menus then write a small class that encapsulates the API calls and intercepts and translates the messages relating to menus and menu items. Once that is finished, just use that class in your future projects.

BF2 First Impressions
So the demo is finally out and i've been putting it through my paces for a little while now to give you guys the heads up on how it has turned out, if you're still waiting to play it. The game has been delayed many times so to finally see a playable product is nice as is the fact the game is only two weeks away. However like 1942, this is a game where the demo just plain rocks, absolutely positively rocks and even if the game was six months away, people would still be playing it then. Below you will find a summary on all of the game's mechanics and how they have changed since Vietnam.
Initial Impressions
My first impression was "wow". This is a game that has had a lot of TLC behind it and right from the outset you can tell DICE went the extra mile on this one. Just looking at the menus you can tell that almost everything has been thought of with this game. It was like they sat down, read everyone's email about how things could be improved in Vietnam and did it. You will find control settings for EVERY type of vehicle meaning that your helicopter controls can be different to your plane controls etc and this is very useful especially because once again EA just have not been able to put a decent chopper engine in the game.
The map
Once you get in the game it's time to check it out and if you feel a sense of deja vu here, it's because you've played the 1942 demo. The map is very much like one of the 1942 maps and close to the original demo as well with an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean flying planes and troops into battle while another defends. It worked with 1942 and it works once again with BF 2 although perhaps not as well. The balance of the map seems ok with both the USMC and MEC winning games I've seen but there are also games where they are just driven back to their base and can't get out, although that's probably because everyone's new to the game.
The weaponry and classes
The game has multiple classes to choose from this time and they are ignorantly different from each other. One thing which puzzles me right now is the lack of power for special forces units in terms of firepower. It seems easy for a soldier to take out an ops unit but not easy for a special ops unit to get a soldier. There are tank busters, medics, snipers, assault, engineers and support classes to choose from and in the ultimate game everyone would have a task and perform it.
Medics have the opportunity to heal you if you're not critically wounded and this is determined by where you are hit. This system seems to work well although I am yet to see someone use this successfully.
Moving the game to modern technology has made far more complex but also offers a lot of cool things to try out. We were stunned to see the secondary fire of a helicopter is a heat seeking missile where you follow and control the missile with the controls, complete with black and white camera vision. Also DICE have added more viewpoints to the vehicles to make them easier to control such as the plane which now has a simulation style HUD. External views are still available but internal is far more useful for BF2. In terms of new craft there's not much, just updated things. There is nothing which changes the game as much as the helicopters did in Vietnam for instance.
Team work
Yes it's once again crucial to victory but DICE has made this a bit easier by being able to group yourselves into squadrons mid game with the capslock key. This is quite cool and seems like a "clan for a day" style system where you can talk to each other via the in game microphone technology.
Overall first impressions
Battlefield 2 seems to have improved upon everyone didn't like about Vietnam and 1942. It's the true sequel to the game that fast became huge and DICE really has gone the extra mile it seems with this demo. While it's only first impressions and only a demo, DICE and EA seem to be on to yet another winner.
