Thanks, looks like you're correct. I'll have a look at this at the first possibility.
Comment #2quicksketch CreditAttribution: quicksketch commented
Found this problem rather quickly. The "enctype" property isn't set on the node form if JavaScript isn't used. This patch should fix the problem. You can also temporarily fix the problem simply by enabling upload.module and enabling it on that type (you don't have to actually use it at all), and that will set the enctype on the form to the right value.
Comment #3quicksketch CreditAttribution: quicksketch commented
I've committed a slightly revised version that check #field['type'] == 'filefield' rather than #field['module']. Note that this change doesn't yet have any effect at all, since it's really left-over from D5 default images, see #338087: Default images on D6 imagefields?.

A Scottish pound note which dates back to 1836 has sold for a record price in an auction.
The £1 note fetched £9,000 at a charity auction - smashing the previous world record of £7,000.
It was originally issued by the North of Scotland Bank which became the Clydesdale Bank in 1951.
The whole event raised more than £110,000 for 70 different charities across Scotland. There'll be another sale of historic notes in October.

Adelaide midfielder Richard Douglas will miss at least a month of the season after having surgery on a bleeding groin.
Douglas was hospitalised after suffering a knock to the groin during Adelaide's trial game win against Greater Western Sydney on Friday.
On return to Adelaide, he had surgery to stop persistent bleeding in the groin area, the Crows' football manager Phil Harper said on Monday.
''Medical advice on this points to a six-week recovery period," Harper said in a statement. ''Richard will unfortunately miss the start of the season but as always, his health is our main priority. Importantly, he will make a full recovery."
Douglas, Adelaide's club champion in 2010 and runner-up in the award last year, joins forward Tom Lynch in missing the start of the season.
Lynch dislocated a shoulder against the Giants while utility Andy Otten is also in doubt for the Crows' March 20 season-opener in Geelong after jarring his reconstructed right knee against GWS.

|RE: frequent client exceptions on 0.7.0
|Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:43:48 GMT
Try turning on GC logging in Cassandra-env.sh, specifically: -XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime -Xloggc:/var/log/cassandra/gc.log Look for things like: "Total time for which application threads were stopped: 52.8795600 seconds". Anything over about a few seconds may be causing your problem. Stop the world GC is a real pain. In my cluster I was, and still am to some extent, seeing each node go 'down' about 10-30 times a day and up to a few hundred when running major compactions (by greping through the Cassandra system log). GC tuning is an art into itself but if this is your problem, try: - lower memtable flush thresholds - reduce new gen size (which is explicitly set in 0.7.1+, the -Xmn setting) - reducing CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction from 75 to 60 or so (maybe less) - set -XX:ParallelGCThreads=<NUMBER OF CPU CORES> - set -XX:ParallelCMSThreads=<NUMBER OF CPU CORES> Again, I would recommend you do some more research into GC tuning (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/gc-tuning-6-140523.html is a good place to start). Most of my recommendations above will probably reduce the chance of your nodes going 'down' but may have pretty severe negative performance impacts. In my cluster, I found the measures needed to ensure the node never (or rarely, it cant be completely prevented) went down just were not worth it. I have ended up running the nodes closer to the wire and living with an increased rate of client side exceptions and nodes going down for short periods.

Just over a year ago, I shared information here about the tragic events in Norway and the legal process that would follow. Today the Norwegian court found Breivik sane and therefore legally responsible for killing 77 people. This decision will keep Breivik in prison for a least 21 years but likely more, as this maximum punishment under Norwegian Law may be enhanced if he is deemed a danger to society.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Rodney Williams helped Minnesota rally in the second half after a sluggish start, scoring 15 points with six rebounds and four assists in the Gophers' 72-57 victory over Richmond on Sunday night. Trevor Mbakwe had nine points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in his most extensive action of the season for the Gophers (4-0), who play No. 9 Duke next in a Thanksgiving weekend tournament in the Bahamas. Andre Hollins had 14 points, seven assists and three steals and was the primary spark during the defining stretch of the second half when the Gophers pulled away, putting them ahead for good 51-49 with a 3-pointer with 8:12 left. Derrick Williams led the Spiders with 16 points, and Kendall Anthony added 13 points. The Spiders (3-1) were outrebounded 41-30 and squandered a 49-42 lead they built by holding the Gophers scoreless for more than four minutes.

For those of you just waking up, and checking the feeds, and you are seeing something a little bit different… here is why….
(Don't click if you don't want to be spoiled)
Ok well, the WHOLE HOUSE is now on to Ronnie and all his lies. Led by Russell, Ronnie got confronted by everyone in the house. The only ones quiet and somewhat absent was Jessie and Lydia. Everyone else was involved, and confronting him. Ronnie ran to the HOH and locked himself in for the most part. Russell came up to get Natalie's bathing suit out of there later, after the confrontation, and Ronnie would not open the door for him, saying he feels "physically threatened by him" and would hand it to Natalie if she came up. (so she did)
Ronnie actually looked like he was about to leave the house tonight, and Russell and Casey are planning on making the next few days hell for him in the house, to hope he does.
I don't know where it will go from here. The house has a plan to remove Ronnie next week… except for Jessie, of course. Later in the evening (or shall I say morning, 3:30am BB time, Jessie was whispering to Natalie that if they win HOH, they will not put up Ronnie, and will continue to work with him. We will see how that plays with Russell especially. My guess is Lydia, Natalie, Chima and Kevin, who are in the Jessie army, will follow Jessie into battle as they always do. Russell I think will not… he seems to be ready to switch sides already anyway.
So, root for an HOH win by Russell, Jeff, Casey or Jordan (or Laura if she stays) and say adios to Ronnie. Anyone else, and Captain Jessie may lead this all astray, as usual.
Come talk about it in the forum!

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is backing a range of measures that would slash the price of mobile phone calls and text messages.
Australia's mobile call rates are high compared to other countries around the world, the ACCC said. The price was 3.6¢ per minute in January 2014, compared to 1.455¢ per minute in the United Kingdom and 0.681¢ per minute in China.
The ACCC launched an inquiry into the prices and terms of mobile phone calls and text messages earlier this year. On Friday, it released a discussion paper outlining some of its proposals.
These included uniform pricing approaches for calls regardless of whether it was done to or from a landline or mobile phone as well as making sure the fees were similar to overseas markets – a move known in the industry as "international benchmarking".
"On the basis of the cost information currently available to the ACCC, future regulated prices for mobile voice termination and SMS termination are likely to be lower than current regulated and commercial rates," it said.
The pricing approach for text messages and voice call rates could also be flattened into one simple figure – a move that would slash the cost of text messages.
The Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) is a consumer advocacy body that in February said users of text messages were being price gouged by telcos.
The measures are likely to face opposition from telecommunications providers, which say the cost of providing services in Australia remains relatively high.
Many providers also provide unlimited phone calls and text messaging as part of their services.
But the regulator was keen to state that none of its proposals were set in stone and that mobile telcos had raised objections.
The ACCC has been regulating the cost of mobile termination rates since 2004, a move that has helped prices tumble by 82 per cent over the past 10 years.
"While the growth in mobile [services in operation] is slowing, more people are using their mobiles to make phone calls," it said. "Ovum predicts that in 2014 Australians will send around 21 billion [text messages]."
It also said the deployment of 4G mobile networks would slash the cost of phone calls and text messages because it was much cheaper and more efficient at sending and receiving data than older systems.
The ACCC will finalise its recommendations in October 2014 before a final decision is made around July 2015.

The global pharmaceutical industry has been evolving in the last few decades. Patent expiries, weak pipelines, regulatory changes and product withdrawals combined with competition from generics, challenge the development and sustainability of this market. Nonetheless, external demographics and consumer market trends mean the growth prospects for the industry remain healthy.
In China, the pharmaceutical market is a fast growing market with abundant opportunities. According to IMS figures, China is expected to maintain a growth rate of 15% to 16%, reaching 15 to 16 billion USD in 2007. The Economist Intelligence Unit estimates that by the middle of the century, drug sales in China will outstrip those in every other region, and China is expected to become the world's fifth-largest pharmaceuticals market by 2010.
Both domestic and multinational pharmaceutical companies in China face multiple challenges, but if approached the right way, these challenges can be turned into opportunities that can expand their business and result in sustainable growth in China.
PwC, with its strong pharmaceutical expertise, provide industry-focused services that help organisations improve processes, meet regulatory requirements, and achieve greater operational excellence across the value chain.

Endless Spring
Tim demonstrates one of his 'party pieces...'
The lid is removed from a large tube, and an assortment of colourful fabric-covered springs starts shooting out from the top of the tube. It seems impossible that there can be so many... and still they keep coming!
The original inspiration was a joke toy made by a company in Germany. They made a small box which apparently contained soap - the label said 'Savon de Paris - La Tour Eifel'. However this turned out to be a rather tall story, since when you opened the box, a fabric covered spring leapt out, giving you a big surprise!
Tim then decided to take the idea to the limit, and bought lots of big springs, covering them in bright fabric, and loading them into the giant tube. When he takes some of his toys to a party, this is one of the favourite items!
Subsequently Tim was asked to help making a version with all the springs covered in pink fabric. It was used in a science television project, and was supposed to demonstrate the human intestines.
Items in the toy collection are not for sale.

A window into health in California.
« Full episode for
Jan 11-13, 2013
By Diane Bock
While the history of California's missions is well-documented, many people do not know much about the music from that time. But this month, San Luis Obispo Symphony Chamber Players are giving music fans along the central coast a unique opportunity to experience music from that era, reinterpreted for modern ears.
Music historian and composer Craig Russell has made it his life's work to research, collect, archive and ultimately create music that reflects a time when California's landscape was dotted with mission churches.
"There was a lot of wonderful music made back in the 1700s and 1800s," Russell says.
He visited missions throughout California, and sifted through their musical archives where he found manuscripts, written by the Spanish-Catholic friars, with notations that few people could even read. Russell transcribed, then translated these documents, and was delighted to discover music that was rich, engaging and surprisingly sophisticated.
"It's like a Lego set," Russell explains. "All the pieces are in different missions, you have to find them, and put them together."
Russell was eager to share these gems, and he does so, in a composition titled "Ecos Armonicos," Spanish for Harmonic Echoes. The piece, written for chamber orchestra, aims to convey the lyrical beauty of the violin, while evoking the rich past of California's mission era.
The piece is in six movements. It begins with "Introit". It's the same melody that was sung at the beginning of Mass each day in mission chapels across the state.
"Alleluia", the second movement, is Russell's favorite. "I personally love the Alleluia. The orchestra splits into two choirs, and then the violin just sort of soars above it."
"Ecos Armonicos" will be performed this weekend at three Central Coast missions as part of a special tour by the San Luis Obispo symphony Chamber Orchestra.
One movement, "Marcha Suiza", was inspired by melodies written by Father Juan Bautista Sancho, a friar at Mission San Antonio, just north of San Luis Obispo. He was a serious scholar of music before his arrival in California and his compositions, written in the early 1800's, were elaborate and complex.
Russell says Sancho introduced instrumental music to the missions. "Juan Bautista Sancho is our Schubert, or our Mozart. He was a phenomenal composer and a great musician."
Russell's composition ends on an exhilarating note, moving beyond the walls of the mission to the local garrison, or Presidio, with a movement called "Fandango."
"I conclude the piece with this testament to [how] we all belong to each other, we all belong together." Russell explains. "And it's actually how a day very likely could end, if it's an important feast day, or a wedding, or a baptism. We'd surely have had a party and we'd be dancing the fandango."
In addition to the historical influences, friendships among San Luis Obispo's tight-knit music community helped shape "Ecos Armonicos." Russell wrote the piece for his dear friend Kathleen Lenski, a violinist who has since retired. "There's something intangible, but I think nevertheless real, when you know who you're working with. There's a certain kind of joy and flavor."
This weekend's concerts will feature guest violinist, Shunske Sato, who acknowledges the significance of this tour.
"I find it almost in a spiritual sense just kind of inspiring," Sato says, "Because you're there, where the music was heard two and three hundred years ago."

Lennox Lewis's personal security will be provided by members of the controversial Nation of Islam group in the build-up to his fight against Mike Tyson and on the night itself.
Tyson's outburst that he would have "killed" Lewis at the chaotic New York press conference if he had "been with the right crew" has put Lewis's camp on high alert that attempts may be made by Tyson's paid followers to physically intimidate the champion.
But Lewis's choice of minders has raised eyebrows. Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader since 1977, is barred from entering Britain and was the target of renewed criticism this week after referring to Jews as "bloodsuckers" who prayed in "synagogues of Satan".
Lewis's advisers have tried to force the promoters to pay for his bodyguards and the onus was put on the Tyson camp to find the $250,000 (£170,000) Lewis was demanding, a demand which was rejected.
Minders from the Nation of Islam, otherwise known as the Black Muslims, were with Lewis when he was involved in the New York brawl, and rumours persist that funds provided by the group helped conclude the deal for the contest itself.
Insiders close to the promotion insist that the television companies are calling the shots and that Farrakhan's speech has not improved his acceptability as a figure close to the fight. But his influence is clear, not least in that his son Mustafa has become a regular fixture within the Tyson camp since 1999 and Farrakhan himself was at ringside as far back as 1997 for Tyson's second fight against Evander Holyfield.
Farrakhan is regarded as a spiritual guru by many hip-hop stars and there are suggestions that money from influential figures on that wing of the music business may have helped underwrite the estimated $12m required as a site fee in Memphis before the fight could go ahead.
Though most of the advance publicity to date has come from Tyson, Lewis has agreed to allow reporters into his regular training camp in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania next week.
All 19,000 tickets for the fight have been sold - mainly to agents and travel companies - generating a live gate of more than $23m, $6m more than the record in 1999 when Lewis beat Holyfield in their second fight in Las Vegas.
Ringside seats have been sold at $2,500 and, in the all-important American pay-per-view market, subscribers are being asked to pay $54.95 for the fight. With overseas rights, an unprecedented $100m gross remains feasible.
But as the suited men in dark glasses, who once bled millions from Muhammad Ali, gather at ringside, it seems television will not be the only business to profit.

Yesterday, Suzanne Vernon published a post on Research First (see full text below) in which she attempted to respond to accusations that the CFIDS Association of America (CAA) had pressured the signatories of the HHS doctors' letter into withdrawing their support for the immediate adoption of the Canadian Consensus Criteria and rejection of the IOM contract. Although the email sent by the CAA did not directly ask the doctors to rescind their signatures, it was clear that asking if they "still agreed" was intended to instill doubt. (Not to mention, why send an email to all of the signatories, unless the purpose was to get them to change their minds?)
In at least one case, the email worked. Lucinda Bateman withdrew her name from the letter, stating that "This is an opportunity to build a strong federal base of support from NIH/IOM." Echoing that sentiment, or perhaps inspiring it, Vernon says, "We must have the cooperation and involvement of the various federal agencies to increase research funding and achieve real progress."
What is lacking from these pronouncements of faith in the IOM's ability to validate and fund future research "based on clear identification of gaps in our knowledge, review of our current evidence base, and creative thinking about how to move forward" is any grasp of reality.
- The CDC has never tried to come up with an accurate case definition. The current CDC case definition ("Fukuda") has been critiqued for decades by all of the reputable ME/CFS specialists and researchers as being too vague. This vagueness was intentional. The Fukuda definition was designed to stymie the ability of physicians to correctly diagnose the illness, ultimately leading to under-reporting. This was a boon to insurance companies, which did not want to pay for yet another expensive epidemic (i.e. AIDS). It was not until advocates began pressuring HHS to adopt the Canadian Consensus Criteria - which were developed by independent researchers and ME/CFS doctors - that HHS responded. Their response was to ignore the experts, and assign the case definition to people who not only know nothing about the illness, but have a vested interest making sure the definition stays vague and broad enough to classify ME/CFS as a form of "fatigue."
- The NIH has never funded this illness. It is well known that the funds awarded to studying "CFS" in the 1980s were diverted to measles, alcoholism and other "fatiguing" conditions. That trend has continued. In 2009, nothing was awarded for research into "CFS." In 2010, again - not one penny. In 2011, $6 million was awarded, which, while better than nothing, did not even come close to researching an illness that affects more people than AIDS ($3 billion), lung cancer ($233 million) and breast cancer ($800 million) combined. Does the CAA really believe that because of the IOM contract the NIH is going to turn around and award $4 billion to research on ME/CFS? (I can hear the laughter, but based on prevalence, $4 billion is what we should get.)
- The DHHS has never included patients in their decisions regarding ME/CFS. Patients were not consulted to formulate the Fukuda definition. We were not consulted when awarding funds for research. We certainly weren't consulted about the IOM contract. The idea that we are now going to be "at the table" is simply ludicrous. I suspect that by making this claim Vernon is referring to her own dinner invitation. In spite of the fact that Vernon's expertise with the illness in no way compares to that of any of the people who stood by their signatures, she will be part of the team that determines our fate. Why? For one thing, her previous work with the CDC not only supported the Fukuda definition (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – A clinically empirical approach to its definition and study), but advocated the use of questionnaires for diagnosis, rather than objective measurements. It is not at all surprising that, given her predilections, Vernon does not consider PEM (post-exertional malaise) as a hallmark symptom of ME/CFS. (She also believes that if we slept more we would be "less tired.") With Vernon on the IOM committee we can expect no less than a definition that essentially eliminates ME/CFS as a disease entity.
(Note: Please read Dr. Mikovits' response to the CAA's request that she withdraw her signature. It's enlightening.)
Clearing the Air
As the conversation concerning the HHS/IOM contract continues, many advocates are weighing in. Over the past several days we've received several questions about various points in the discussion so we wanted to address them.
First, I sent an email to my colleagues who signed the letter to Secretary Sebelius asking to adopt the Canadian Consensus Criteria and cancel the IOM contract. There is speculation that I asked them to rescind their signature. I did not ask anyone to rescind their signature or change their mind. I reached out to those I had email addresses for (29 signatories), asking if they still agreed with the letter given the IOM contract was awarded and more information on the scope of work had been provided. I heard from about half of the signatories. Several stood by their signature indicating the money for the contract should go to research
Many of my fellow advocates have asked if I am benefiting financially from my participation on the IOM committee for development of a case definition for chronic multisymptom illness. I am not. Committee member air travel and lodging are paid for with the IOM contract – which was awarded to the IOM by the Veterans Administration. Committee members receive a per diem to cover costs incurred during travel, but all work is voluntary. Outside of the meetings we have a lot of reading and research to do to accomplish our charge. Like in ME/CFS, there has been outstanding work and research on Gulf War Illness and there are significant gaps in knowledge. No one on the committee takes this responsibility lightly. We have 3 more months and two more committee meetings to complete our tasks.
Several individuals have speculated that I am on this committee purely because my brother has Gulf War Illness (my brother is happy that I was nominated and he is hopeful for our outcome), but that is not why. I was nominated for the committee because of my work and research on ME/CFS. My brother relates to ME/CFS patients because as he and many of you know, Gulf War Illness and ME/CFS have many clinical similarities. For those of you that haven't yet, please read his personal story: http://www.cfids.org/cfidslink/2010/020304.asp
Some that are deeply opposed to the IOM contract to develop a clinical case definition for ME/CFS do not understand why we are in the discussion if we are an organization focused on research. It is precisely because we are focused on research that case definition is important to us. A physician or healthcare provider can only diagnose ME/CFS after thorough clinical evaluation. It is critically important that this clinical approach to diagnosing ME/CFS be defined and standardized for use by all physicians and providers. The diagnostic criteria is essential to advance research because it provides us with the disease-defining concepts – the core signs and symptoms – needed to identify and validate biomarkers and to provide evidence of treatment benefit.
While we understand the concerns over the contract with the IOM: fears that the right people will not be on the committee, leading to a lack of commitment and faulty results, we believe it is in the patients best interest to continue to foster a positive working relationship with HHS and IOM. No single organization can solve ME/CFS on its own. We must have the cooperation and involvement of the various federal agencies to increase research funding and achieve real progress. We can only do that if we are at the table.
We all have a lot of urgent work to do and we all can continue to contribute and help our community. There is plenty of work that needs to be done – more than enough to go around. We must galvanize around ME/CFS in order to conquer it.

(CNSNews.com) – Alan Krueger, assistant secretary for economic policy and chief economist at the Treasury Department, told reporters that the economic projections used by the White House--which foresee a decade of uninterrupted economic growth ahead--are "smoother" than what can be expected in reality.
Even with this smoother-than-reality economic forecast, the administration is predicting that the federal government will run up an additional $905 billion in deficit spending over the next decade, almost doubling the national debt.
Krueger, speaking to reporters at a Friday briefing, said that while the administration's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth forecasts were largely in line with private estimates, numerous factors could affect and alter those estimates.
"It's the nature of forecasting that forecasts typically are smoother than the realizations," he said. "Your hope is that the ups and downs balance out and, on average, are on the forecasted path."
What Krueger did not mention is that, while the administration's projections are close to those of private economists, known as the Blue Chip Consensus, those private forecasts only extend through 2010, while the White House's extend through 2019.
When asked by CNSNews.com if the fragility of the administration's projections meant higher budget deficits in the future, Krueger said that deficits were inevitable during bad economic times.
"Deficits are inevitable when you're trying to recover from such a steep recession," he said.
Krueger also said that, because of that steep recession, it was impossible for the administration to produce a balanced budget in the short term, saying such an idea was not "advisable" for Obama.
"In fact, it wouldn't be advisable to have a balanced budget at this point or anything close to a balanced budget at this point," he said.
In the longer run, however, Krueger said that the administration planned to put the budget back on a path toward fiscal responsibility, saying that the country relies far too much on borrowing and not enough on public investment.
"One has to draw a distinction between the short run and the long run," he said. "Certainly in the longer run the administration plans to put the budget on a path that's fiscally responsible."
"In the U.S., I think that we rely too much on borrowing and short-term consumption at the expense of longer-run investment, public infrastructure," he said. "The president has said that it's very important that when we emerge from this recession that we build a stronger foundation, one that's less susceptible to these kinds of boom-and-bust cycles."
However, the Obama administration's projected budgets rely on what Krueger criticizes: borrowing to finance short-term consumption.
For example, the Obama administration projects that, as a result of its 2010 budget, the federal government will run a cumulative deficit of $9.05 trillion by the year 2019. In total, the government plans to spend $43 trillion during the next decade while taking in only $34 trillion in tax revenue.
In no year between now and 2019 does the administration plan to balance the budget. In fact, the smallest single-year deficit Obama plans to incur is $739 billion in 2015, after which time the deficit will begin climbing again until it hits nearly $1 trillion ($917 billion) in 2019.
However, Krueger claimed that it was a "very important" part of Obama's budget to move the country toward "responsible budgeting" and a "more sustainable" path.
"That's why it's very important, in the administration's budget, that we make the critical investments in human capital and physical infrastructure, responsible budgeting, health care reform, clean energy, to move the U.S. to a more sustainable economic path," he said.

AXE Deodorant Bodyspray For Men, Essence
This is probably one of my favourite scents from Axe. After my husband applies it I'm instantly drawn to him and in a very good way. I wouldn't say I react like the women in the commercials but there's definitely an "axe effect". The scents aren't too overpowering, really work (yes, they're deodorizing sprays), and the scent pleasantly lingers longer than most colognes!

On Friday, September 15, 2000, Gary McCullouch wrote:
Aboriginal Justice Online. While scrolling down to the statistics information this caught my eye, so I had to read further, because during lunch today I was reading an article about the Olympic opening ceremony in Australia. The interesting thing about the ceremony was the fact that Cathy Freeman, who is of Aboriginal descent, was the final torch carrier and lighter of the Olympic flame for the games. Cathy has been very out spoken for her people and has had many run-ins with the Australian government for doing so. Cathy is a great 400-meter runner and has been the best in the world for the last 3 years representing Australia, and being that she is in the public's eye she has brought forward the troubles of how her people have been treated for many years. Now the Australian government who is talking reconciliation to bring the two groups together, is in the world's eyes and has a chance to show everyone that they are trying to do what's right. (At least for two weeks.)
After lunch I went back to my desk and went online to find out more about who the Aboriginal people were and their plight. I couldn't help but notice all the similarities with what took place here in the United States, with the native Americans (Indians). I thought to myself, it does [not] pay to be the original inhabitants, because whoever discovers you takes the land from you and makes you the outcast. The Aborigines have their own customs and beliefs and have been around for hundreds of years, before Britain decided to colonze Australia into a penal colony.
I'm an avid Track & Field follower and I know that Cathy Freeman has a chance to win a gold metal in Sydney for her country. If she does win, I hope she takes her victory lap draped in the Aborigines flag like she has done in the past, showing that she is proud of who she is. Before these Olympics Cathy was chastised for carrying the Aborigines flag, but now she has the government's permission to carry it if she wants to. I believe that Cathy is in a good position to help the cause of her people, and change the face of Australia. She's just one person and she has already made a difference by opening the Australian governments eyes to her Aboriginal pride by carrying the flag in defiance and forcing them to accept it and condone it.
I discussed the Aborigines' plight with my wife and explained how life is in Australia for them, and she said the same thing I thought at first, that she wouldn't want to visit Australia now. I would like to visit still, but would be more interested in seeing the original people, the Aborigines. That would be more interesting than seeing another big city. I know this has nothing to do with our stat class, but it was an interesting lunch for me. Gary
On Saturday, September 16, jeanne responded:Gary, that's exactly why I put all the readings together on the Discussion Preparations page. An "interesting" lunch is a major part of your liberal education.
Why don't we consider finding some tables on the treatment of aboriginal peoples and interpreting them? I'll help you look right after the surgery.
love and peace, jeanne

Mescalito | El Capitan | Yosemite National Park
June 11th - 19th, 2011
Gumby according to Wikipedia:
Gumby according
to climbers slang:
Wally and I trained
hard for this climb. We worked endurance and practiced hauling. We did
a dress rehearsal of sorts including a night on the portaledge in Boulder
Canyon. We stopped free climbing in May to focus all our attention on
getting our clean aid sequence dialed. We added rope-solo block leading
to the toolkit. We figured we knew what we were getting into. Some notable
big wall climbers fly a flag, Ammon flies the Jolly Roger, Petes
got his Maple leaf (eh?). We needed a symbol to let the folks watching
from the telescope at the bridge know just what we were all about. I chose
a life-sized gumby costume filled with balloons. Thats us up there
with the Macys Day parade float: Team Gumby on Mescalito.
We dropped off the ropes and saw that a solo aid climber was already on the route at the 5th pitch. We figured we would pass him at some point during the climb. Soloing a wall involves about 3 times as much work as climbing with a partner.
The first pitch had me nervous. The rating, C3, means that you are stringing together enough tenuous placements that a fall could rip several of them and let you down 50 or so. The good news is that Mescalito is so vertical-to-overhanging that there arent many ledges to hit. The middle of the pitch was aided by clipping half a dozen hardware store nails that had been driven into holes in the otherwise blank rock. I was just clipping existing gear or looking for tiny edges to hook, so that pitch went relatively quickly. By relatively quickly I mean it took 58 minutes to go 130 feet. You see, aid climbing isnt much of a spectator sport. We moved slower than tree sloths. When we were fast, we were moving at a dizzying pace of approximately 1 foot per minute. Some pitches took 3 hours or more. Unlike free climbing where your fingers and toes tick away the seconds remaining before you fall off the rock or find a new hold, we were hanging on tiny, patient pieces of metal. You might be attached to the rock by a 4 millimeter wide nubbin of brass, but you can hang out there all day while you sort through your 30 lbs of gear for another nubbin that might fit the next hairline crack above you. It takes a certain neurotic personality to enjoy this kind of creative suffering. To the belayer it lasts forever. To the climber, it seems like the pitch took 45 minutes or so.
Wally led pitches 2, 3, and 4 as a block. He got a wake-up call about 20 feet up his first pitch when a rusty cable on a copperhead broke. It was a small fall. 10 feet later he was testing a decent-looking one when the smaller one below it popped. The upper one caught the fall with the daisy chain. We both used a new system of adjustable daisy chains inspired by Big Wall Kate that use 8 mm dynamic rope and small toothless ascenders. Aside from an easy to adjust tether, the idea is that a dynamic rope will put much less stress on the gear when you fall and the daisy goes tight before the climbing rope does. It worked well. We had several daisy falls, but none that popped any placements.
The East Face has a 400 alcove in the middle that forms a natural amphitheater. Someone has attached a rope to the top of the arch, and park employees call it the porch swing. I watched a group of kids taking turns attaching themselves to the rope and getting a running start off the ledge to swing out 100 feet or more above the trees and away from the rock.
Wally was leading
the 3rd when a hook fell off his harness and bounced down to the ledge
at the base. It landed near his tee shirt. From 300 feet away I could
see that the water knot in the slick new sling had come untied. A tricky
section at the beginning of the 4th involved a tension traverse and a
zig-zag path. The porch swing kids had finished and there was a group
below us lying on their backs watching us. One of them walked over and
picked up the hook with the bright red sling.
He walked to the tee shirt and placed a large rock on it to keep it from blowing away. At the top of 4 we were running out of daylight. We hauled up our stuff and rapped down. The hook wasnt on the tee shirt.
We went back to
camp exhausted. Instead of getting up at 4:00 am again, we slept in and
packed at a leisurely pace the next morning. Tom Evans was at the bridge
with his camera and telescope. He said there was a Korean team of 3 that
wanted to start Mescalito the day before while we were climbing. He had
told them to take a rest day and wait. He told us that YoSAR was about
to pick off an injured climber high on Muir. He had broken an ankle in
a fall. We heard the chopper as we trudged up the trail with heavy pigs
and a Gumby doll in tow. We had 128 lbs of water and Gatorade.
As we set down our gear at the base, the Korean team arrived. They laughed at Gumby and posed for photos. We tried to communicate our schedule and figure out whether or not they would be fixing pitches or blasting up right behind us. They were going to fix a few pitches and sleep on the ground. I attempted to make small talk and mentioned how the porch swing kids had pocketed my dropped hook.
He went over to
his backpack and brought out the hook with a freshly tied water knot.
I thanked him and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt; maybe he
had misunderstood me and thought I didnt want my dropped gear.
We blasted off and
hauled our heavy bags in the midday heat. The 2:1 pulley system still
required a counterweight to lift it all. Wally hung on the opposite strand
and shot some video of the drudgery. By the time we got all the stuff
organized at the top of the 4th, there was just enough time for one pitch.
There were 21 pitches waiting after that. Setting up the ledge took too
long, but the food tasted great and we slept well.
We hoped to keep
this a hammerless ascent. We had pitons and copperheads in
the haulbag, but we didnt want to use them. (Clean aid doesnt
damage the rock, while whanging in pins certainly does.) At 5:30am on
Tuesday, the hammer came out. We used it to crush a stubborn protein drink
bottle. We put it back in the bag for the remainder of the trip. [I guess
a true hammerless ascent would avoid using existing pitons
and copperheads in addition to not adding more. We did our best.]
The Seagull pitch
is named for a double arch of rock that looks like a childs crayon
drawing of a bird. Getting to it from our ledge involves a 90-foot rightward
traverse. To haul the bags I would have to lower them sideways a long
distance until they hung plumb. Our lower-out line was less than 50
long so we devised a half-baked plan to use that line attached to the
tail of the climbing rope for the long lower-out. When Wally pulled the
haul line tight, I had a feeling something would go wrong. I thought that
the lower-out line would get the bags close enough to plumb that they
would no longer be pulling me sideways with too much force to handle.
I would disconnect my belay device and the second rope would be pre-loaded
with a Munter hitch for the remainder of the lower. Did I mention that
the bags were really heavy? Or that the pitch goes 90 feet to the right?
The knot joining the skinny 6 mm line and the fat 11 mm rope got closer
to the device and I knew I wouldnt be able to pass the knot using
hand tension. It locked up. My predicament was obvious to anyone watching
from below. I thought to myself, Hope youre getting this on
film, Tom. [He did.]
I got out my prusik,
but a 6 mm prusik wont hold a 6 mm line, even with 6 wraps instead
of the typical 3. I felt like a total Gumby. Last option: the Simon Yates
off belay method. I got out my knife.
The blade lightly
touched the loaded 6 mm strand and the nylon exploded with a pop! The
bags careened to the right and smacked the wall at an oblique angle. No
damage done other than 11 inches of accessory cord and slightly bruised
We led on as the afternoon slid by. The weather was perfect all week despite one of the worst Springtime climbing seasons on record. It had snowed the week before. We got a week of 72° days and 50° nights. The East side of El Cap gets early morning sunshine. Strong updraft winds make an attempt to scrub the climbers off the face from 10:00am until 2:00pm. During the windy part of the day, I cut Gumby loose on to do some 50' static line bungee jumping. He flew around and above me just like a Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon. By 3:00 each day we were in the shade while the West side baked. Above us the soloist took a long fall while cleaning the Molar traverse pitch. Wally called up to check on him.
We werent
going to pass him yet. As Wally set up the ledge I led a self-belayed
pitch that ended after dark.
We were moving slowly but surely up the face. 3 or 4 pitches per day is a snails pace to most free climbers (and many aid climbers.) We werent going to break any speed records. We looked down to check on the Korean team from time to time and it seemed that they had stalled. The showed up at noon on Tuesday to lead the 4th pitch and the leader spent about 6 hours working out that tricky section at the start. We didnt feel so bad for moving slow.
Many non-climbers sheepishly ask this question when we arent among polite company:
Monkeys fling poo. Back in the day, wall monkeys flung poo, too. Early morning El Cap bird watchers would see the mud falcons diving into the trees at the base. The modern, more civilized wall monkey does not do this. We brought Restop wag bags which are high-tech mylar pouches with special enzyme kitty litter stuff inside. Positioning yourself to make a deposit in one of these bags means facing the wall and leaning back on your daisy chain with your rear end hanging off the portaledge. It looks silly and feels silly, too. Peeing is a different story. Its often windy enough to need a pee bottle since the updraft can make for an unpleasant result. This brings us to an unfortunate event or two on the climb:
Although I know now that Mike, the soloist above us, is a nice guy my first reaction to him was visceral and negative. It isnt his fault. He didnt know at the time that he had just emptied a pint of stale urine on us and our portaledge from 150 above (not that freshness would have made a difference.) He scored a direct hit with that one. 5 minutes later we would have had the rain fly up and we wouldnt have cared as much.
Wally took a couple of pitches that involved a little free climbing and enjoyed himself thoroughly. In the middle of the route there was a pitch that we thought might be the scariest of the 8 C3 pitches. It was labelled reachy in the beta, so it had my name on it. Much of the fixed pieces were short aluminum dowels that had been hammered into shallow holes. If you pulled one out, the one below probably wouldnt catch you. I moved up on half a dozen of those and started doing hook moves. I tested a blind hook that started to pop. I grabbed the flake it had been on with my hand and pulled up, then had to re-position the previous hook while hanging off my hand to regain a foothold. The gear got tricky. I strung together a bunch of crappy gear and got near the anchor. The final two moves were the scariest: I had a rusty #1 copperhead on the left and a rusty RURP piton on the right with a broken wire that had been replaced by another wire with many broken strands. I would need to top step off that mank to get to a hook ledge that was just out of reach. I equalized the two pieces and added extension limiting knots (I really expected one of them to blow.) I stepped up and placed the favorite hook (Pika Ibex) on a diagonal crystal about 2mm wide. I dont know how it held, but I stepped up high on that and just barely caught the anchor.
To the non-climber that last section was all gibberish. What makes someone like me want to experience this? Is it adrenaline? Excitement? Well, not exactly. Unlike downhill skiing or other sports where you move fast and only have time to react to the speed with reflex and instinct, you get plenty of time to think when you are aid climbing. It feels like walking out on a frozen lake. You listen intently to the cracking sounds. You focus. Your breathing slows down. You notice what the rock smells like (on this route youve probably already guessed: urine.) Do you feel fear? Sure, there is some instinctive fear in the back of your mind; but the logical engineering part of your mind holds the reins. You enter a Zen-like meditative state where you relax as much as possible and congratulate yourself on how calm you are. I know, its a little twisted. Plenty of climbers that think aid climbing is stupid will agree with you. The whole endeavor is artificial. Think of it as extreme camping: you spend a week outdoors carrying all your food and water and shelter with you. Oh, by the way- theres no trail to walk on.
We caught up with Mike at the perfect location: the Bismark ledge. Its the one spot on the climb where you can take several steps on solid rock. Mike had brought so much food and water thinking that the weather would take another dive that he was loaded down. He felt bad about peeing on us, and he made us both a double helping of pasta with fresh zucchini. We gave him Gatorade and toilet paper - big wall currency.
Wally led the big wide Bismark crack and said it felt like cheating to use the 9 Greggalot cam I made. Wally wanted the pitch above that as well because it had a 5.9 handcrack variation and he was jonesing to bust a free move or two. He was working the moves and loving every minute of it until near the top. I heard a sharp cry of pain and felt him downclimb quickly. He had stemmed into a drop-knee move when his knee made a loud POP! He explained what had happened, and from the belay it sounded like he was in a lot of pain. We thought he had a torn ACL. We were still 5 ½ pitches from the top. I thought to myself:
I replied to myself:
Wally pulled it together and finished the pitch by aiding mostly on the left leg. He was hurting, but thought we could go on.
The 21st pitch was one of my favorites. Near the start I stepped up on a hand-placed Tomahawk that was only in 1/16th of an inch or so. I hooked my way to an expando flake which was shaped like a giant canine tooth. It was more than 20 feet long and 8 feet wide and it tapered to a point. If you thumped it with the heel of your hand it vibrated like a bass drum. Placing any gear behind the flake that creates a large outward force will move the whole thing or break off parts of the edge. Its very fragile. I cam hooked my way up and looked for nut placements. Fun pitch.
Two more pitches and we were on a ledge shaped like the bow of a ship. It was late in the evening and we were very tired, but the finish line was close enough to taste it. The view from that bivy was spectacular: Full moon. Clear sky. Half Dome. Sculpted curving headwall above. Light fog in the morning. - Ill never forget it.
The last few pitches flew by. I put Gumby on my back and tucked his legs into my leg loops for a tandem lead. I lowered out the bags correctly from the Bow without having to get out the knife. The view of the valley below had gotten more and more interesting the higher we went. Theres just so much more to see. I saw a pair of Falcons hunting. They both dove from near the top all the way down. One of them missed the bird, but the other one made a sharp turn before they both disappeared in the trees. I assume they got him. Meanwhile White-throated Swifts whizzed by us like bullets doing acrobatics that fighter pilots only dream of.
At the top we ate all the food we had left and packed up the bags. We had about 4 hours of daylight left. We took the East Ledges descent. Even if Wallys knee hadnt been injured, we still should have camped on top. 11 grueling hours later we arrived at a campsite that our friend, Tori, had reserved for us before she left the valley. We were beyond exhausted. The note in the dust on the back windshield read, Congrats Team Gumby!

Status: Federally Endangered
Description: The pallid sturgeon is one of the largest (30-60 inches, 76-152 cm) fishes found in the Missouri-Mississippi River drainage, with specimens weighing up to 85 pounds (39 kg). It is usually light brown on the dorsal surface and white underneath. It has a flattened, shovel-shaped snout. Fleshy chin barbels are located at about 1/3 the distance between the mouth and snout, with the inner barbels about 1/2 the length of the outer barbels. The pallid has a long, slender, flattened and armored region from the dorsal fin to the tail fin (caudal peduncle), which has a long upper lobe. There are no bony plates on the belly.
Habitat and Habits: This species is a bottom dweller, found in areas of strong current and firm sand bottom in the main channel of large turbid rivers such as the Missouri River. The pallid sturgeon is a member of a primitive family (Acipenseridae) which, like other sturgeon, has lengthwise rows of bony plates covering its body, rather than scales. Pallids are slow-growing, late-maturing fish that feed on small fishes and immature aquatic insects. Spawning occurs from June through August.
Distribution: The pallid sturgeon is distributed from the headwaters of the Missouri River (Fort Benton-Great Falls, Montana) through the Mississippi River to New Orleans, Louisiana.
Conservation Measures: Virtually the entire range of the pallid sturgeon has been altered in some way. Normal movements have been blocked by dam construction. Alteration of water quality, temperature and flow pattems, as well as reduced spawning habitat, have reduced the overall habitat diversity of the pallid sturgeon, threatening the species' survival.
As a result of these habitat changes, no successful pallid sturgeon reproduction has been documented in recent history and the pallid was federally listed as endangered in 1990. Most sightings of this species in South Dakota since 1980 have occurred in the Missouri River reservoirs of Lakes Lewis and Clark, Sharpe and Oahe.
Recent research efforts in South Dakota and Montana have included implanting of sonic transmitters into pallids, to leam more about habitat needs and movement patterns and to locate spawning areas or other concentration sites. Successful propagation of other sturgeon species may assist with captive breeding of pallid sturgeon, if enough pallids can be found in the wild.

For life-science students, the Physics Department also recommends that you consider taking a calculus-based intro physics course if available at other schools. Some of the most fundamental concepts in physics such as velocity and acceleration are defined via derivatives, and your understanding will be more satisfying and comprehensive if you try to learn physics in a calculus-based course. Fortunately, only a modest amount of calculus is required for most intro physics courses for life science students at other institutions, corresponding to about one page of formulas. For most students, it is not calculus that makes intro physics challenging but the large amount of material covered together with various abstract physical concepts (force, momentum, energy, torque, electric fields, magnetic fields, flux, etc.) that take time and practice to understand.
Please note also the following list of restrictions from the registrar's office here:
If a student does not obtain permission for a course at another
school before taking the course, then we are very unlikely to give
transfer credit.
Any physics course that is determined by the Physics Chair as not
sufficiently close to a Gonzaga course will NOT show up on a
transcript, even if it has already been taken. At best, the Chair
may elect to grant general elective credits which count toward
graduation, but not for the specific physics course.

Cefaclor capsulesPronunciation
Generic Name: cefaclor (SEFF-uh-klor)
Brand Name: Generic only. No brands available.
Cefaclor capsules are used for:
Treating infections caused by certain bacteria.
Cefaclor capsules are a cephalosporin antibiotic. It kills sensitive bacteria by interfering with formation of the bacteria's cell wall while it is growing. This weakens the cell wall and it ruptures, resulting in the death of the bacteria.
Do NOT use cefaclor capsules if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in cefaclor capsules or any other cephalosporin antibiotic (eg, cephalexin)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using cefaclor capsules:
Some medical conditions may interact with cefaclor capsules. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have diarrhea, a stomach infection, or a blood clotting disorder
- if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, a severe rash, hives, breathing difficulties, dizziness) to a penicillin antibiotic (eg, amoxicillin) or other beta-lactam antibiotic (eg, imipenem)
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with cefaclor capsules. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Probenecid because it may increase the risk of cefaclor capsules's side effects
- Oral anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because the risk of bleeding may be increased by cefaclor capsules
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if cefaclor capsules may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use cefaclor capsules:
Use cefaclor capsules as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take cefaclor capsules by mouth with or without food.
- To clear up your infection completely, use cefaclor capsules for the full course of treatment. Keep using it even if you feel better in a few days.
- Cefaclor capsules works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
- If you miss a dose of cefaclor capsules, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use cefaclor capsules.
Important safety information:
- Cefaclor capsules only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
- Long-term or repeated use of cefaclor capsules may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
- Be sure to use cefaclor capsules for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
- Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
- Diabetes patients - Cefaclor capsules may cause the results of some tests for urine glucose to be wrong. Ask your doctor before you change your diet or the dose of your diabetes medicine.
- Use cefaclor capsules with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- PREGNANCY AND BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using cefaclor capsules while you are pregnant. Cefaclor capsules are found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use cefaclor capsules, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of cefaclor capsules:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Abnormal skin sensations; anal itching; difficulty breathing; fainting; fluid retention; flushing; headache; joint pain and inflammation; low blood pressure; mild diarrhea; nausea; secondary fungal infections, particularly of the oral, rectal, vaginal, and intestinal areas; sinus infection; skin redness; tiredness; vomiting; weakness.

When we learned of the new ticketing policies taking place in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, we couldn't help but wonder if it's bound to become a microcosm of the bicycling in the U.S.: relatively un-policed, but for how long?
Prospect Park offers those in Brooklyn with 585 acres of natural land and — more importantly — a popular roadway for cyclists and pedestrians alike. And until about four months ago, says neighborhood news source The Brooklyn Paper, this roadway presented cyclists both hardcore and recreational with a paved place outside of the dangers of New York's roadways with a place to ride without inhibition. Now, tickets ranging from $50 to $200 are being doled out by park police, stopping bicyclists from running red lights, riding against traffic and even speeding. The neighborhood news source says 188 tickets have been handed out to cyclists in the last four months.
It would be neglectful of us if we didn't stop here and say: we're all for bicycle safety. Stopping at red lights, following traffic signals and generally obeying the rules of the road is important, and doing otherwise can pose serious dangers to ourselves, our fellow riders and anyone else on the road. But we're also willing to admit there are some cases in which common sense heeds over a rule, especially in certain cases. Outside of our own opinions, some of the bicyclists affected by the Prospect Park ticket crackdown say, "stopping at every red light is unnecessary and difficult, especially when riding downhill." Others are concerned about what the policing could mean; "Too much enforcement, they say, could morph Brooklyn's backyard, and the outdoor culture it attracts, into what feels more like a Singapore-style police state."
The problem, say state officials, is that cyclists on the park pathway move way too fast, and treat it as an ill-designed velodrome of sorts. Unlike real velodromes, the Prospect Park roadway was designed for those on two wheels and those on two feet, yet as cyclists secure their speedy path, several pedestrians have been injured. Ultimately, it took several fatal crashes between cyclists and pedestrians to spark the new ticketing enforcement —which is being dubbed as for the sake of citizens' safety.
Will all city pathways for cyclists and pedestrians soon become heavily enforced so as to regulate the riders on the road? It even sparks the debate: will bicycle commuters soon be held more accountable than they currently are for running those stop signs on obscure rural roads?
At the heart of the issue is a concern for safety that we're totally on board with — but is regulating riders really the answer? Or should the era of the 21st century be one with segregation — between those on foot and those on wheels? In other words, we're quick to wonder if there are other solutions to the safety concerns of Prospect Park and its bikers than simply policing them.
What do you think? We want to know! Is this pedaling change in a New York City borough a step in the direction of safety? Is it representative of the need for more bike traffic laws all over? Should cities worldwide begin creating bike-only pathways to avoid any issues of this kind? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below!
