Shakespeare Electronic Conference, SHK 8.0105. Wednesday, 22 January 1997.
Date: Tuesday, 21 Jan 1997 10:16:13 -0500
Subject: Rhetoric and the Art of Persuasion
I am a teacher of voice and text (including Shakespeare) at an acting school in
Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Following the thread on Rhetoric this fall, I have
decided to work with my students on recognizing the potential for rhetorical
style in speeches in Shakespeare. The idea is that they will find a
monologue/soliloquy and try to see whether it follows the 6 parts of an oration
(EXORDIUM, NARRATION, DIVISION, PROOF, REFUTATION AND PERORATION- to be
precise). We have taken a few speeches through this process of analysis and
found that many of them follow these steps, give or take a step or two, or
perhaps flipping/swapping a few of the steps.
I find that
a/ it helps to establish a feeling for the concept of "thinking rhetorically"
as an actor - that is using the steps as a way of clarifying what acting
teachers call "tactics",
b/ this process underlines what I think about the Elizabethan training of
speakers/actors in that they knew more about the form of speaking and oration
than we might and gives actors a concrete way of including some of that
background in their playing,
c/ the idea of rhetorical argument, which must have an "audience", helps to
consolidate the actor's commitment to her audience, so that she is trying to
convince them to see things her way.
A good example of this was in RIII when Richard turns to the audience with "Was
ever woman..." One discovery that really made a big difference in helping
students with the structure was to go backwards through the speech, sentence
by sentence (in a modern edition; perhaps colons or semi-colons are good
check-points in an early edition). This allowed us to approach the argument
from both ends, looking for the climax of the oration and its summary first and
then establishing what the character was going for from that. It works
remarkably well.
Knowing that (practically) everything in the world of Shakespeare has been done
before, I am wondering whether others have looked at the rhetorical structure
of speeches, and in particular these 6 steps. I am particularly interested in
whether characters NOT in a political situation might use this structure (e.g.
not a king or royal or courtier-like character, or perhaps one of those in a
more personal/private setting). I am willing to try this kind of search with
any speech, but has much been written on it? I understand that Sister Miriam
Joseph wrote well on this topic but her book(s?) seem to be out of print and
every library I go to seems to lack her work. Any tips?

Davin Park 2311 River Road Mapit Jacksonville, FL 32207 Amenities offered at this park: Qty.Amenity8Benches1Trails Unpaved (Miles)2Trash BarrelsYesSecurity Lighting Acres: 0.26 Park Type: Neighborhood Council Person: Lori Boyer History: Lillian S. Davin Park is a 500 x 50 foot median on River Road, in the San Marco section of south Jacksonville. It was part of a carriage lane and bridle path at the famed Villa Alexandria estate built in the 1870's. John Swisher and his son Carl, the manufacturers of King Edward Cigars, built mansions across from the park, as part of the subdivision platted in 1929 by Telfair Stockton, Brown Whatley, and Joseph Davin. Known for many years as Swisher Place, the park contained 24 beautiful camphor trees that were killed by two hard freezes in the early 1980's. Due to the initial efforts of resident Earl Hadlow, 19 live oaks were planted as replacements in 1985; and the City named the park for Mrs. Davin, who lived near the park (with husband Joseph Davin) and passed away that year. Today, the mature oak trees extend along each side of the park, which was refurbished by the residents in 2003, with funding provided from a grant.

5 Things To Look Out For When Choosing Plumbing Courses
If you are looking for the best plumbing courses it can be quite a challenge when there are so many on offer today. Do you choose the course closest to where you live? Do you choose Learn plumbing a course that is offered online? Or do you choose to travel to a course that has excellent feedback? Let's take a look at some tips to help you choose from the plumbing courses available so that you get the best return on your training investment.
Is Your Training Provider Accredited?
The marketplace for plumbing training courses is saturated so it's important to know how to choose the right course. Look for providers offering courses from nationally recognised accreditation centres such as EAL and City & Guilds. Qualifications from these awarding bodies will be recognised by employers in the field and ensure that you get the edge over other candidates applying for the same job.
Do They Offer an Extensive Course Choice?
Good training providers will have a broad selection of courses to choose from. Once you have completed your basic training you might want to progress into specialist areas.
Which Qualifications Can You Go For?
There are many plumbing courses offering a range of qualification and accreditation paths. Take a look at some of the jobs advertised online to see which qualifications you need. City & Guilds qualifications are usually always required, but certain jobs might require different qualifications.
What Are the Student Pass Rates Like?
Before you sign up with any plumbing courses, take a look at the pass rate of the training providers in your area. This will give you a good indication about the success of the course and how well it was understood.
What Are The Costs of Their Plumbing Courses?
Cost should always be a factor when choosing plumbing courses, but don't automatically go for the cheapest training. This can be a huge mistake. Also don't choose the most expensive course because it appears to be the highest quality. Ask around, call other plumbers and look online to read reviews about the training provider you are interested in. Taking your time to find the right course will ensure you get good value for money and a course that delivers the best outcome for you.
Do your research thoroughly especially if you are going to be training with plumbing courses for a number of months or years. The right course will teach you all you need to know and ensure that you are ready to take your exams and pass with flying colours when the time comes.

UAS Ketchikan Faculty Participates in Updating National Welding Curriculum
NCCER recognizes Steve Brandow
The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) has recently recognized UAS Ketchikan faculty member Steve Brandow for his contributions in revising and updating the national welding curriculum which supports the American Welding Society's (AWS) standards and guidelines. Specifically, the revisions support the publishing of the fourth edition of Welding Level One, a trainee guide.
Mr. Brandow has dedicated time to this project for the last 18 months. He was one of a variety of experts who participated in this nation-wide project and the only representative west of the Rockies. Mr. Brandow has taught welding at UAS Ketchikan for twelve years. He is an AWS Certified Welding Educator and AWS Certified Welder. He served a 4 year apprenticeship at Ketchikan Pulp Mill and worked construction for 23 years, including 15 years with his own welding business.
The NCCER is a not-for-profit education foundation established in 1995 by the world's largest and most progressive construction companies and national construction associations to address the severe workforce shortage facing the industry and to develop a standardized training process and curricula. According to the Department of Labor, 600,000 to 700,000 welding professionals currently work in the United States, but as many as 250,000 additional welders will be needed by 2010 to keep pace with current demand.

Senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin today urged Senate appropriators to reject the administration's budget proposal to close the Coast Guard's seasonal air facility in Muskegon and a proposal to reduce the number of helicopters in the Traverse City air station. Both of these proposals, the senators argue, would decrease search and rescue capabilities, leaving boaters at greater risk on Lake Michigan.
The senators' letter to the appropriations committee follows:
February 29, 2012
The Honorable Mary Landrieu
Subcommittee on Homeland Security
Washington, D.C. 20150
The Honorable Daniel Coats
Ranking Member
Subcommittee on Homeland Security
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Chair Landrieu and Ranking Member Coats:
We write to oppose the proposal in the President's FY 2013 budget request to close the Coast Guard's seasonal air facility (AIRFAC) in Muskegon, Michigan. Closing the station would put at risk the large number of boaters on Lake Michigan during the summer. The Muskegon AIRFAC has been in place since 1997 and provides an important safety presence during the heavy boating season on Lake Michigan. We urge you to continue to ensure Lake Michigan has an adequate Coast Guard presence to protect boaters in this very busy region of the country.
From a safety point of view, an on-site helicopter can deploy much more quickly than one coming from 120 miles away. The Air Facility Muskegon responded to 182 cases on southern Lake Michigan since 2005.
When it comes to saving lives, time is of the essence. In areas where there is heavy boat traffic as there is on southern Lake Michigan, the Coast Guard must be particularly vigilant. According to the Coast Guard, Michigan, with its significant Great Lakes shoreline, has almost a million registered boats. Indiana, with 40 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, has over 200,000 registered boats.
The Coast Guard's presence at Muskegon was well thought out. After a merit-based evaluation of several sites, the Coast Guard decided in 1996 to locate an air facility on Lake Michigan at the Muskegon County airport. To accommodate this decision, Muskegon County built at its own expense a new hangar to the exact specifications of the Coast Guard to house the Muskegon air facility and helicopter. When signing this long-term lease the Coast Guard made a commitment to Muskegon County regarding the safety and security of the people of Michigan. The Coast Guard needs to remain in Muskegon.
We are also concerned that the President's FY 2013 budget request proposes replacing the five H-65 helicopters in Traverse City with only three H-60 helicopters. A minimum of four H-60 helicopters would be required to leave Traverse City with equal coverage and this is the number the President requested in FY 2010 when the upgrade was first proposed. We are concerned that if the President's proposal is adopted the Traverse City Air Facility will be left dangerously shorthanded.
Lake Michigan's boaters deserve to be protected through a Coast Guard facility on southern Lake Michigan. We urge you to direct the Coast Guard to maintain its Muskegon AIRFAC and provide the additional H-60 helicopters to Air Station Traverse City. Thank you for your consideration.
Carl Levin
Debbie Stabenow

When SouthWest decided to kick director Kevin Smith off a flight for being too fat, it may have been the worst public relations incident in the history of that airline. Before the internet and the rise of social media, they would have been able to control the story, but because Smith has such a large twitter following, they were made accountable for the fat hatred. Removing people from flights or charging them for two seats happens daily, but because most are so embarrassed by the situation and do not have the same social capitol as Smith, such incidents are ignored.
In an effort to mend its ways, it seems that SouthWest has once again put its foot into the fire. A young woman was flying stand-by and was seated waiting for take off when apparently a teen arrived who required two seats. She was asked to relinquish her seat so that the child could fly. Apparently the child's parents had only bought one seat and so to avoid embarrassment to the teen SouthWest asked the woman to de-plane.
When the woman – who did not give her name to the paper for fear of being perceived as insensitive – expressed irritation, airline employees began to "berate" her for complaining, she told the newspaper.
"We know this was awkward and we should have handled it better," said Southwest spokeswoman Marilee McInnis, adding that normally the airline would ask for volunteers to give up their seats. In this case, however, flight attendants may have been rushing to make room for the kid in order to save him from embarrassment. (source)
How dare this
fat hating coward woman, not be allowed to exalt in her thin privilege. She is after all 5-foot-4 and 110 pounds. The world was made for people like her to take up space. We should just ignore that stand by means that you get a seat if there is one available and clearly in this situation, a customer that had purchased a ticket needed it. Would this woman have been equally irritated if she was asked to vacate her seat for a thin woman? Somehow I doubt it. This is about fat hatred and the assumed right of certain bodies to take precedence over others.
The other issue that is not being addressed is the failure of airlines such as SouthWest to build planes with larger seats. People have increased in size since the average patron of the sixties. and it is time that airlines take this into consideration. This solution however, continues to be unacceptable to airlines because they gain social acceptance from fat shaming and this comes with the extra bonus of charging people for an extra seat. Ever sit next to a tall man with broad shoulders crammed into a seat? It is not a comfortable experience. Airlines are not concerned with the comfort of their passengers, because if that were the case, these people would be charged for an extra seat as well?
I am not going to celebrate SouthWest for doing the right thing for a change, because they will have yet to rectify the cause of the problem to begin with. The very fact that the stand-by passengers weight and height were mentioned in the article tells me that a failure to create the right accommodations still leads to fat shaming. The comments in the linked to article are full of out right fat hatred and this of course is inspired in part by circumstance.
- So disgusting when fatty is nearby. I'd leave the plane on my own accord if there was a chance fatty could brush against me.
- Fatties should not be allowed on planes…I am reminded of a sign I saw spray painted near a beach once "no fat dudes or chicks, and no short d*cks"
- Lousy mother, very sad… Don't feed your kid junk, make your kid exercise, don't let your kid live in front of the TV just so he won't bug you… And he will not be "plus-sized", which is the politically correct substitute for "fat"…
- Yep, I totally agree, no sympathy here either for FAT people!!!! I get SO disgusted being anywhere/everywhere seeing FAT poeple EVERYWHERE these days!!!! This country's citizens were never the size they are today. They absolutely make me gag and certainly makes me eat less!!!!
If SouthWest really wants to change its image, it needs to do more than small considerations. SouthWest needs to create accommodations so that people of various sizes can be comfortably seated. The moment your privilege one body over another it will give rise to fat hatred making it that much harder for fat people to make it though the day without harassment of oppression.

UAlbany Students: Who we are. What we do.
Who he is...Enthusiastic. Studious. Respectful. Clutch.
Hometown: Manilus, NYMajor: Broadcast MeteorologyActivities: Master of AEPi (National Jewish Fraternity), News Director of WCDB (campus radio station), Omicron Delta Kappa (National Leadership Honor Society), Hillel, Presidential Honor Society, Albany Chapter of the American Meteorological Society, R.A. (Resident Assistant) on Dutch Quad
What he does...
Broadcast Meteorology is a unique major, as it combines forecasting with speech composition and journalism, and is a good major if you're not interested in the research aspects of meteorology. "I've wanted to do this since I've been 10 or 11 years old," Josh says. "I came to UAlbany because of this program."
The board game "Perfection" is how Josh would best describe himself. When under the pressure of the timer, he can put things together and is very calm. But once the time runs out, "I explode and go crazy," he says. Then he calms down and gets back to work.
When Josh isn't predicting the weather or being involved in one of his many activities, he enjoys just hanging out in someone's dorm room and catching up with his friends. He likes going to Dave Matthews Band concerts because they're very relaxed.
Ten years from now, whether he's forecasting the weather or working for the District Attorney (his back-up to forecasting is law school), Josh primarily hopes to be happy and in control of what's going on in his life.

Comcast Cable Promotes Cathy Avgiris to CFO
Comcast named Catherine Avgiris as the new CFO of its Comcast Cable division, replacing David Scott, who is retiring.
Ms. Avgiris will start in her new role on July 1. She will become finance chief, reporting to the division's CEO Neil Smit, after heading up the company's Xfinity brand of phone and Internet services and consumer wireless as general manager of the data and communications group.
In an interview with CFO Journal, Ms. Avgiris said she'll be helping shape the strategic direction of a unit that brought in almost 70% of Comcast's total $15.3 billion in first-quarter revenue.
"We'll be looking at where to invest capital," she said. "We'll be looking to grow and scale the business."
The high-speed Internet unit increased revenue by 8.6% from last year, to $2.5 billion in the first quarter, while voice services revenue increased 2.6% to $900 million.
The promotion to CFO marks a return to the finance department for Ms. Avgiris, who joined Comcast in 1992. She served as a senior vice president of finance in the cable division. Before joining Comcast, Ms. Avgiris had served as a CFO at Drexel Industries, Inc. and as an audit manager with Deloitte & Touche.
For his part, Mr. Scott, who is 60, told CFO Journal that he's retiring to Sarasota, Fla. "It felt like it was time [to retire]," he said. "I'll be pursuing a couple of board opportunities." He added he'll also be looking to work with a non-profit organization of some sort. He has been a board member with Big Brothers Big Sisters Southeastern Pennsylvania, and civil rights organization Focus Hope.
Comcast on Wednesday reported that first-quarter net-income increased 17%, driven by growth in the broadband and business services units.

Tomopop LinkUP: Mass naked figure event
Feb 06
// Jeremy Emerje Crocker
Kotobukiya has posted a gallery for their latest Shining figure, Neris, on their blog. She's a great looking figure and available now for pre-order so go find yourself one. Orchid seed isn't only offering their special chrome bikini version of Sonico at Wonder Festival that we talked about last week. They've also got a special clear A5 file of the Sorceress from Dragons Crown, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt trading cards, and Seven Deadly Sins bath salts. Vertex will be offering this very special and very limited version of Noel Vermillion at Wonder Festival. The yellow repaint is limited to only 50 and sold at 8,800 each, the same prices as the regular version. Grizzry Panda will be showing off their latest garage kit, Kongou from Kantai Collection at Wonder Festival. It doesn't seem like she'll be up for sale, but they will be bringing many of their more popular kits from previous events back for sale. RocketNews24 reported on another Licca-chan doll crossover, this time with Kumamoto city mascot Kumamon. She's sporting a cute red and black dress with bear ears and comes with a little Kumamon. The real surprise is that she went up for sale exclusively at Takara Tomy Mall on February 1 and has already sold out. Toy As Object is reporting on this really cool and unconventional Crystal-Mecha by Super7 and artist Matt Allison. It's already been released in black with an orange crystal, it is now available for US$95 in red with a translucent blue crystal stand nine inches at the Super7 store. Hot Toys posted an interview with acclaimed anime director, character designer, and mecha artist Shinji Aramaki. They talk about his latest movie, the 3D CG take on Captain Harlock and the figure HT made for it. AmiAmi blog posted a gallery for Megahouse's G.E.M Series Sasuke Uchiha figure. They did a great job with posing on this figure and he even comes with special head parts so you can swap his eyes between regular, Sharingan, and Mangekyo Sharingan. Also at the same link is the latest Naruto additions to the Petit Chara Land series. The series features Naruto (Kurama Mode with baby Kurama), Sasuke (with Aoda), Orochimaru (with Manda), Hashirama Senju (with, uh, trees), Madara (with hypnotized Kurama) and ANBU Kakashi (with Bull). Cute figures, wouldn't know they were at war. Traditionally Bandai doesn't do Wonder Festival, choosing to handle their own events. That went out the window last year when we got our first look at D-Arts Sailor Moon at Wonder Festival 2013 [Summer]. This year Tamashii Nations will be representing Bandai and bringing along a bunch of their newest figures as well as some we've never seen before. We should be getting our first look at new figures from Infinite Stratos and Tiger & Bunny plus some others they haven't revealed the source for yet. quesQ will be at Wonder Festival with a number of new limited edition repaints for sale. Up for grabs will be Flandre Scarlet in pink and Kazami Yuuka in blue from Touhou Project, Elizabeth in black and pink from Persona 4: Arena, and Percival in red from Eiyuu Senki Gold. Of course they've got other things planned to debut at the event. The Japanese AmiAmi blog posted a gallery for Prince of Tennis' Shiraishi Kuranosuke from the ARTFX J line by Kotobukiya. Fans of the series will probably find very little to complain about here. Kahotan posted a gallery for Parfom Aigis which includes a very informative interview with Phat! Company's Ootani. There's also a new look Parfom Nozomi Hoshino which acted like the prototype for the series and will make an appearance at Wonder Festival this weekend. Primal Heart updated with a look at their latest Saber garage kit from Fate/EXTRA CCC. The kit features Saber in a tiny nightgown and they really captured her well! Artist Amanda Visell made this really cute 8 inch Wood Jackalope Dunny. It's available for US$400 at the Switcheroo shop. I thought the jack in jackalope stood for jackrabbit, but I guess it stands for lumberjack. [embed]33525:37254:0[/embed] Universes collide when Filmation Skeletor voice actor Alan Oppenheimer and 200X Skeletor voice Brian Dobson come together to play with Skeletor figures for this promo video for Power-Con. Man, Alan can still do the voice perfectly! Aniplex is working on another Homura figure for Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Like most things these days this one is movie based and the figure title translates to something like Flame Time Regression ver. Should be really nice when it gets a limited release in September on at the Aniplex+ store. Need another reason to get Attack on Titan figma Armin this weekend? Try Akiba Hobby's advance gallery out and see if that convinces you. [embed]33525:37255:0[/embed] Friends of Tomopop Jesse DeStasio, Nicholas Fung, and Cade Hiser have joined forces to host a new weekly toy show on YouTube called ToyPizza. Every Tuesday they'll be talking about great toys for all ages past and present, doing outings, and just talking about the stuff we all love. The first vid is just over four minutes long so it's easy to jump in and watch. What have you got to lose? And that's it for this week. Not sure what we'll have to talk about next week with Wonder Festival over, but I'll be back again nextweek with another Tomopop LinkUP nonetheless!
We're in the final days before Wonder Festival 2014 [Winter]!

The exp-tagged code in CVS for MzScheme and MrEd is now version 299.18. Changes: * Changed permissive UTF-8 decoding to include a "?" for every ill-formed byte, instead of just those bytes with high bits. This means that tracking positions in a port is slightly more expensive, but it's consistent with most other applications. * Changed the random-number generator to use L'Ecuyer's MRG32k3a algorithm, as encouraged by SRFI-37. Changed `random' to accept 0 arguments, in which case it generates an inexact number between 0 and 1, exclusive. Added `pseudo-random-generator->vector' and `vector->pseudo-random-generator'. * Changed `{read,peek}-bytes-avail!{,*,/enable-break}' to produce a special-reading procedure when an input port produces a special. * Added `syntax-property-symbol-keys'. * Added `make-pipe-with-specials' to MzLib's "port.ss"; procedures like `copy-port' now also handle specials. * Extended result of `syntax-local-certifier' (see docs).

Indiana Jones Fertility Idol Bank
You've bypassed the spikes and the darts and the jungle and the snakes and finally you are staring, face to face, with the Golden Idol. Once thought to be lost, the sole surviving statue is really an ancient Chachapoyan goddess of fertility. And one thing is certain: it belongs in a museum. You heft your bag of sand and contemplate the weight of the idol, but it could all boil down to the weight of a few pennies. Why? Because this Golden Idol is a BANK!

My favorite place is the Newport Music Hall in Columbus. It's America's longest running rock club and the last place John Lee Hooker played before his death in 2001.
The classic design of the building and the original architecture make for an amazing concert experience. Just recently, I was lucky enough to see my favorite band, Say Anything, play there.

Garner retiring after 37 years as Penn-Trafford teacher, administrator
For the past six years, Principal Karen Garner has had one of two destinations when she steps out of the main office at Trafford schools.
If she turned to the left, she would mingle with the middle school students. A right turn would take her to the elementary classes.
At the end of next month, Garner will step out of the office and into a new phase in her life. After 37 years as a Penn-Trafford teacher and administrator, this district alumna is set to retire.
"Penn-Trafford has been very, very good to me, and I think it's very, very rare to start and end in the same place," Garner said.
"I've been blessed. I just can't imagine walking out of here on the last day. I don't know how I'm going to do it."
She has until June 28 to prepare for that departure, although her last day of classes is Friday.
In the meantime, Garner is working on a transition with her successors. Roger Sullivan, an assistant high school principal, is taking over at the middle school, while Level Green Elementary Principal Dan DiNapoli will split his time between that nearby school and Trafford Elementary.
Garner's split from the school district hasn't been overlooked by the community.
Last week, the Trafford Elementary PTO celebrated her tenure with a surprise tribute during its "Fun Day" activities. And the middle school chorus dedicated its performance of "For Good" from the Broadway musical "Wicked" to Garner during its spring concert.
"We chose that because one of the lyrics is 'Because I knew you, I have been changed for good,' and we thought that hit just perfectly," choral director Renee Rumbaugh said.
An eighth-grade student, Evan Guest, escorted Garner to the stage during the song and presented her with a snow globe.
"It was just absolutely unbelievable because of the emotion," Garner said. "Some of the kids had tears in their eyes, and that just really did me in."
At Trafford, Garner has headed a lean office staff of a secretary, nurse and counselor. About 60 teachers are in the classes with the 600 children.
By overseeing two schools, Garner puts in a little longer day than her counterparts in the other buildings. The middle-schoolers start arriving around 7:45 p.m., but the elementary students are in the building until about 4 p.m.
Nonetheless, PTO members Kim Sarnowski and Lauri Federovich said Garner has been very involved in extracurricular activities. Garner has attended all of the monthly PTO meetings and managed to attend a lot of school events, they said.
Federovich, who has three children in Trafford Elementary this year, said Garner has provided a good support system for parents. That started when Garner came to her neighborhood in the new Bradford Square housing plan after becoming principal in 2007 to meet with parents, she said.
"She has handled us as if we were her only school she has had to tend to," Federovich said. "However, she does it, she does a really good job at it."
Garner, who said she is the only woman who has been a secondary principal in the Penn-Trafford School District, is a district graduate who started her career as a reading specialist at Penn Middle School in 1975 after graduating from what then was known as Seton Hill College in Greensburg. She received her master's degree and principal certification from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Garner taught at Level Green and Harrison Park elementaries before becoming an assistant principal for McCullough and Sunrise Estates elementaries for about six months.
When she came to Trafford, Garner said, she embraced the role that the school has in the community. The auditorium frequently is used for community events, including the Trafford Recreation Board's annual fundraiser.
She worked with Trafford emergency-management coordinator Brian Ellicker to have the school certified as an American Red Cross warming center.
She also developed a program with the Wilmerding YMCA to provide before- and after-school programming for about 40 of the school's kindergarten students.
"Now it's in full swing, and the parents count on it," she said.
In looking back over her career last week, Garner said, she's grateful for the dedication of her staff and teachers. But, she said, the hardest part of retiring will be losing the chance to watch the development of her students over the years.
"I remember their little faces and little voices, and then to see them grow into the men and women that they do become, there's a bond there. That's what I'm going to miss."

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Oregon and a coalition of states went to court to block the eleventh-hour Bush Administration rule that sought to avoid public and Congressional scrutiny.
Attorney General John Kroger praised the Obama Administration for undoing a last-minute Bush Administration rule change that undermined the Endangered Species Act.
"This response to our multi-state lawsuit is an important step in the right direction on environmental protection," Attorney General Kroger said.
The decision by Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar marks a successful end to a lawsuit brought by Oregon and a coalition of states on Jan. 16 to block the Bush Administration regulation. Under the change, federal agencies must once again consult with wildlife experts at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration before taking any action that may harm threatened or endangered species.
For years, efforts to roll back endangered species protections have failed in Congress for lack of support. On December 16, 2008, the Bush Administration announced substantial changes to the ESA through rule-making - a last-minute maneuver that left little time for public or congressional input.
The Bush regulations significantly altered the manner in which the ESA protects endangered species.
One Bush Administration change created an exception for all climate change effects. This exception would have meant that actions that lead to climate change and global warming could not be regulated by the ESA. In other words, if global warming was melting the polar ice caps, which in turn was ruining the polar bear habitat and threatening the existence of polar bears, the ESA would not apply.
The ESA itself will not allow for such exceptions, and the lawsuit by Oregon and the other states contended that the Bush Administration could not create exemptions not identified in statute.
Another significant amendment would have undermined the "cautionary principle," which is derived from the ESA's requirement to "insure" that actions do not jeopardize protected species. That principle requires that the federal government err on the side of protecting endangered species when human actions affect protected species. The new amendments reversed that principle, requiring that agencies ignore effects on species until they are proven to be harmful. Oregon asserted that the new rule was illegal.
Oregon and several other states joined a lawsuit filed by California challenging the new regulation. That lawsuit is effectively resolved by today's corrective action by the Obama Administration.
Attorney General John Kroger leads the Oregon Department of Justice. The Department's mission is to fight crime and fraud, protect the environment, improve child welfare, and defend the rights of all Oregonians.

Target acknowledges it ignored early signs of breach
New York -- Target Corp. acknowledged its security software picked up on suspicious activity after a cyber attack was launched, but it decided not to take immediate action. The chain also advised that its security breach last year could be even more extensive than reported so far, Reuters reported. "Our investigation of the matter is ongoing and it is possible that we will identify additional information that was accessed or stolen, which could materially worsen the losses and reputational damage we have experienced," the company said in its 10-K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. On Thursday, Bloomberg reported Target's security team in Bangalore, India, received security alerts on Nov. 30 that suggested malicious software had appeared in its network. It then flagged the security team at its home office in Minneapolis. "Like any large company, each week at Target there are a vast number of technical events that take place and are logged," said Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder in a statement. "Through our investigation, we learned after these criminals entered our network, a small amount of their activity was logged and surfaced to our team. That activity was evaluated and acted upon. Based on their interpretation and evaluation of that activity, the team determined that it did not warrant immediate follow up. " She added: "With the benefit of hindsight, we are investigating whether, if different judgments had been made, the outcome may have been different."

Zain, Bahrain awards IPCC & IVR Application support to Real Soft (Intl) Pvt. Ltd.
Real soft (Intl) Pvt. Ltd. (RSI) was recently awarded an onsite cum offshore contract by Zain Telecom, one of the largest telecom operators in Middle East. Zain provides mobile voice and data services to over 69.5 million active customers in 24 countries. They chose RSI after evaluating several vendors. This decision was based on RSI's expertise in CISCO platform, resource quality, reputation in Contact Centre industry and the ability to fine-tune the outsourcing strategy to deliver the required business results at lower cost. The current contract is initially for one year with a fixed price and scope, with possible long-term extension.
Under the current engagement, RSI will provide support for the applications earlier developed by Zain on CISCO Enterprise IPCC technology and CVP. The support primarily includes providing additional functionalities required for serving the customers better. These applications aim to better serve their Wimax, Mobile and Data Service Subscribers, thus allowing the agents to spend their time on more productive troubleshooting of critical issues. With an ever increasing customer base, this engagement will prove RSI's capability in preventing technical glitches, responding quickly to atypical crisis and participating in varied and growing features as required by Zain for its customers.
In summary, RSI will not only support the application developed by Zain but also will play a major role in maintaining and improving the satisfaction level of Zain's customers.

Allison Tolman — the Baylor grad, co-founder of Second Thought Theatre and award-winning star of this season's hit series Fargo — will join legendary comic Ruth Ruzzi as the recipient of a Topaz Award, presented by Women in Film Dallas at their annual gala on Nov. 22.
Tolman received an Emmy Award nomination (she lost to Kathy Bates — not bad) and a Critics Choice Award as deputy Molly Solverson on Fargo. She is familiar to Dallas stages, but has spent the last several years in Chicago. Buzzi, of course, is the iconic comedian, best remembered for her days on Laugh-In opposite Lily Tomlin and Arte Johnson.

we rented a place ( swanky ) in Raby Bay QLD, $850 / week
When we moved out, the owner upped rent to $1100 / week. Snapped up in 3 days.
Mate of mine leases a small office $1250 / weekAnother leases a mid size restaurant $2500 / week
So that's $4400 a month for rent? :)))) In some countries you can be a slave owner with this kind of money :)))

1 bedroom, 1 bathroom – ~ 1,000/mo in outside Boston…
€ 450 (approx. USD 600) for a decent (some would say even luxury) 2 bedroom apartment (living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) in the central part of the city (Sofia, Bulgaria). One of the bedrooms I use for home office and home fitness so no additional expenses on work and sport.
Capuccino + croissant – ~ € 2 (USD 3).
Was living in a suburb outside Boston and paying $975 for a small 1 bedroom. Moved to Tucson and started paying $500 for about the same thing. Moved into a much nicer 2 bedroom a few years later and now pay $650.

The Joseph S. Clark Brass Band plays live in the WWOZ Studio.
For over 30 years WWOZ has put New Orleans music, past and present, on the airwaves. Now we are looking to the future by showcasing Nola's newest crop of young musicians. Together with Coventry and Aetna, WWOZ is thrilled to present Cuttin' Class - a series of live in-studio performances by middle and high school age students from the Greater New Orleans area.
Each Cuttin' Class presentation brings young Nola musicians to the studio to give them the chance to perform on live radio. Our show hosts sit down with the band leaders to talk about the band, what it's like to be young musician, and about the music education opportunities in New Orleans. The future is in our hands, and we want to give it all the encouragement and support we can. The schools and organizations bringing bands to Cuttin' Class are doing just that: making sure that New Orleans music is a passed on down through the generations.
Please tune in, sit back, and be in awe of our city's musical heritage that has inspired such incredible music from such young folks. And get excited - because future is bright!
Check out the photos below from recent Cuttin' Class presentations.

Coastal Cottage 101
Designers invite us inside for a closer look at their colorful cottages.
Welcome to Cabot Cove
Built in the 1950s and desperately in need of renovation, this enclave near Kennebunkport, Maine, hosted its own decorators' showcase. Sixteen designers took on the difficult challenge of turning these dilapidated cottages into a magical village, on a modest budget. "Here all of the cottages work as individual units," says designer Pauline Vastardis. "They're little experiments for what you actually need in a weekend cottage."
Sleepy Hollow Cottage
Home, sweet home. Your porch acts as a welcome mat and a relaxation spot. While guests may never want to leave this outdoor room with its Adirondack chairs and pastel pillows, the cottage's painted black door adds a touch of dramatic contrast and draws visitors inside.
Sleepy Hollow Cottage
The power of a cheery palette. Maintain your cottage's airy feel by placing bright patterns and lots of color against white walls. Designer Lesa Knowlton, who chose a palette of pastels, says, "Even on gloomy days you'll be happy with yellows and pinks."
Sleepy Hollow Cottage
Illusions of space. Painting this built-in bookcase the same color as the walls makes the small living area look bigger because it doesn't interrupt visual movement throughout the space. The shelves provide a perfect backdrop for brightly colored accent pieces. Just don't overdo it with accessories or you'll start to crowd-and thus shrink-the space.
Sweet Dreams Cottage
City house, country house. Lighting fixtures can add chic, modern style to your weekend cottage. These overhead fixtures combine style and function without taking up valuable space.
Sweet Dreams Cottage
Out in the open. You don't have to buy a bulky china cabinet to house cups and saucers. Polka-dot and striped china transform these shelves into a focal point in this cottage kitchen.
Sweet Dreams Cottage
Store with style. Wall-mounted metal racks provide stylish storage spaces inside the cozy cottage. Look for similar vintage country "spice" racks at local flea markets or antiques shops.
Float In Cottage
Shipshape style. Designers decorated this cottage around a central, nautical theme. They added subtle accents, like a porthole window in the kitchen door, and seaworthy knickknacks along a high ledge. The result? A yachty interior that makes you feel like you're on the deck of a boat.
Float In Cottage
Take it outside. When decorating your weekend cottage around a central theme, don't overlook outdoor possibilities. This oar-turned-railing awaits visitors and welcomes them into the cottage's nautical interior.
Float In Cottage
Sitting pretty. Install small shelves on either side of a couch or bed to create additional storage without taking up floor space. Add warmth by topping your new shelves with arrangements of seasonal wildflowers.
Float In Cottage
For your viewing pleasure. Opening up the living room and adding depth to the space, an entire wall of windows is dedicated to this cottage's view overlooking an inlet. The designers created a crisp, clean interior by refreshing the original tongue-and-groove paneling with white paint. They steered clear of window treatments, placing all emphasis on the vista.
Harbor Cottage
Small space revisited. This cottage takes full advantage of its interior space. Built-in bookcases in the living area display art, shells, and novels. A drop-leaf table offers just enough room for dining or game-playing, and a sleeper sofa (not shown) makes up for the lack of a second bedroom.
Harbor Cottage
Customized touch. Continue your design theme beyond upholstery and artwork. The stenciled motif on this bedroom dresser and the sea-horse accent on the lamp add creative, personalized touches while complementing the cottage's overall style.

They say the vehicle was destined for use in a major terrorist attack.
The Kamaz truck was seized on Thursday morning, close to the Chechen capital, Grozny, a Russian military spokesman has confirmed.
The announcement comes as much of Russia is on high alert for possible security threats ahead of next week's celebration of the end of World War II.
More than 50 heads of state and other dignitaries are expected to attend.
Last year, a bomb exploded killing the pro-Moscow president of Chechnya, Akhmad Kadyrov, as he attended a Victory Day parade in Grozny.
'Remote control'
Security forces had stopped the vehicle, suspecting it was fitted with false license plates.
On board, they discovered more than a tonne of explosives.
The military spokesman told the BBC the truck was primed for detonation by remote control.
He suggested only Chechnya's chief warlords could possibly be linked to planning such a serious attack, though he admitted as yet there was no hard evidence.
The truck driver and a passenger are now being questioned.
Earlier in the day, Russian security forces also claimed to have averted a series of planned terror attacks, using a cyanide-based substance.
They say the targets were major cities in the North Caucasus.

Muscle Building: Compound Exercises
Compound exercises allow you to lift heavier weights and work more muscle groups at the same time than isolation exercises. This saves you precious time in the gym while stimulating the maximum amount of muscle fibers. In addition, compound exercises, due to the increased amount of muscle used for the movements, are better at sending your endocrine system a "distress call" to pump out more anabolic hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone.

VANCOUVER, BC, Canada -- Canadian Healthy Vending is enabling users of its Max! venders to have a say in their planograms with its new Max Menu 2.0 online menu system.
Every machine is registered in the program, which allows patrons to search online for specific products for their location, or to browse for items they might be interested in buying that are not currently included in their planograms.
Nearly 1,000 products are featured in Max Menu 2.0. Every request a customer makes is forwarded directly to the operator's smartphone. Operators are able to review all customer suggestions and make ordering decisions based on customer input at each location.
Max Menu 2.0 lists the brand and product name of each item along with a picture. "We hope to encourage healthy vending machine customers to see the Max! Healthy Vending Machines not only as a source of snacks and drinks that are better for them, but also as a source of information about healthy snacking options," said CHV's Ed Thompson.
Based in Vancouver, CHV manufactures and distributes the Max! Healthy Vending Machine. Its high-resolution display screen provides nutritional information for product offerings and information about community health initiatives.

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: August 16, 1983 from Idaho Springs, Colorado Classification: Non-Family Abduction Date Of Birth: July 27, 1969 Age: 14 years old Height and Weight: 5'3 - 5'4, 105 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Some agencies give Elizabeth's eye color as green or hazel. She has a mole over her right eyebrow. Her nickname is Beth. Clothing/Jewelry Description: White jogging shorts, a faded blue t-shirt and sneakers.
Details of Disappearance
Elizabeth was last seen jogging at 10:00 a.m. on August 16, 1983 in her hometown of Idaho Springs, Colorado. She was last seen in a park near her family's residence. Investigators believe that a male seen in the park at the same time as Elizabeth may have been seen speaking to her. The man was driving a small red 1975 or 1976 pickup truck with a white camper shell and out-of-state license plates. It has not been established if the man has any connection to Elizabeth's disappearance, but police are interested in identifying him and questioning him. Elizabeth's sister says a man in a pickup truck had flirted with Elizabeth a few days before she vanished. The truck was red with a white camper shell, out-of-state license plates and blue or black lettering and a a brown stripe on the sides. The man was fair-skinned and about 175 pounds, with light brown collar-length hair parted on the side. He wore prescription eyeglasses with blue-tinted photo-grade lenses and had a general neat appearance. He said his name was Claude.
Elizabeth disappeared shortly thereafter and has not been seen again. She did not have any cash or personal belongings with her on the day she vanished. Elizabeth normally left a note for her parents if she was going away for any length of time; she did not do so on the day of her disappearance. Elizabeth was a basketball player in 1983 and she jogged regularly to stay in shape. She is one of seven children and was a freshman at Clear Creek Secondary School. At the time of her disappearance, she baby-sat to earn spending money; her baby-sitting earnings were left behind at her house when she vanished.
An unidentified Ohio man has been under investigation for several years in Elizabeth's case. Authorities believe he may have been involved in Elizabeth's presumed abduction, but he has never been charged. In 1995, a serial killer from Mississippi claimed that he had killed Elizabeth, but police did not find his story credible. Another suspect, a New Mexico man named Edward Apodaca, is deceased; he was murdered by his wife and mother-in-law in 1990. Apodaca's former girlfriend claimed she had helped him bury Elizabeth in the mountains near Idaho Springs. Three cadaver dogs indicated the presence of human remains in the place the girlfriend indicated, but police excavations turned up no evidence. Elizabeth's family believes, however, that Apodaca was in a fact involved in Elizabeth's case.
In 1994, a missing children's hotline received a bizarre anonymous call about Elizabeth's case. The caller stated that he or she had seen Elizabeth together with Tiffany Sessions and Tracy Kroh and that the three young women were being held against their will in Austin, Texas and forced to work as prostitutes. Tiffany disappeared from Florida and Tracy from Pennsylvania, both in 1989, and no one had suggested the cases were related. The tipster claimed the three women were being held by a man named Thomas Stewart and traveling in a white van with Florida license plates and a blue/gray van with unknown license plates. Police from all three states investigated the tip but decided it was probably a hoax. In 1995, a woman police picked up in Tampa, Florida claimed to be Elizabeth. Elizabeth's parents flew to Florida to meet the woman, but she turned out to be someone else.
Possible evidence relating to Elizabeth's case was found in Empire, Colorado in 1994. Some bone fragments, a piece of fabric similar to canvas, and a single blonde hair was found buried near Interstate 70. The bone fragments have never been identified; police do not even know if they are human. The fabric was very degraded and appeared to have been buried for a long time. In 2004, the police sent the hair to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to test for mitochondrial DNA. They hope to conclusively link the hair to Elizabeth's case.
Elizabeth's family had her declared legally deceased in 1994. A grand jury investigated her disappearance in 2007, but the jury disbanded in November of that year without any indictments being handed down. but her case remains open and unsolved.

holga experiments
Last Saturday I received a package from Hong Kong with a Holga lens for my Panasonic Lumix G3 digital camera. I thought I would see what the plastic 25 mm lens could do. It has a fixed f8 aperture and minimal focusing capabilities. The photographs ended up being sharper than I expected. It was kind of fun and I will definitely try it again. Next time I will add the wide angle adapter that I have for my Holga film camera to see what kind of images the hi-fi camera with lo-fi lens can make.
shadows and trees
After a year off, Two 21 lives!
In looking back on my recently completed Project 365, I saw that my more successful photographs and the ones i liked the most were in black and white. I think that I like the classic texture, line and shape focus of black and white photography.
So to try to move myself forward in 2013, I am going to do a photo a week in color. I will still take and post black and white photographs here, but for the next year there will be at least one color photograph posted each week, too.
merry christmas.

I walked out the street, from Eleventh street to forty-third—between eleven and twelve o'clock.
He, with his tragedy in the background, that he could not speak of, in his forty-third year.
In the autumn of 1710 Swift was approaching the end of his forty-third year.
Madame de Chevreuse had then entered upon her forty-third year.
In 1675 he died, in his forty-third year, and at the apogee of his powers.
The forty-third question runs: 'What is the preface to the Ten Commandments?'
In 1879 he was given a much more honorable recognition in being elected a member of the forty-third Congress.
Wallace of the forty-third and Terry of the Forty-ninth, too, were gone.
William Napier's company of the forty-third was the last to pass the river, and it was here that he was wounded.
We did turn on forty-third and came around the block, and of course we missed her.

Similar questions about this have been asked in the past. While I'm not a
nuts-n-bolts programmer, I believe the generic answer is NO. If memory
serves me, you could setup a cron job to do this, but the settings would be
lost the next time you rebooted m0n0wall.
The base install of m0n0wall does not have this functionality built-in.

My family was exhausted. My constant insistence that we had to remain supportive and my controlling notion that there was something else we could all try were about to become the catalyst for the complete disintegration of my family. With my relentless refusal to accept what had to happen, I was helping to complete what my son's addiction had failed to accomplish in breaking up our family.
I just knew that my family didn't get it. How could they not understand that he was my child, and that as long as I was still breathing, I couldn't let one of my own children destroy his life while I stood by and watched? No one was making sense to me at all! Until one day, it all became perfectly clear.
My son made the decision to seek help for his addiction. He sought out a rehabilitation facility and admitted himself for treatment. The decision had been his alone. He took the steps he had to take to begin, and complete, the program. But to hear me recount the events that led up to this decision and the weeks that followed, it was as if he and I had accomplished this together. I would tell everyone how he and I had gone together to the facility where he would be staying and about the pre-counseling session "we" had to have with the facility's administrator to understand what "we" would have to do in order to complete the program.
One of the conditions of his admittance was that no family visitation would be allowed for the first two weeks of treatment. I was not hopeful that he would stay and complete the treatment, but if I had to stay away from him for two weeks in order to help him succeed, it seemed like a rational thing for me to accept.
When the initial two weeks of treatment had been completed, I was allowed to visit. My son called me to see if I could bring some quarters, just so that he could buy himself a canned drink out of the vending machine.
I was more than happy to do this for him. So happy, in fact, that I thought I could help even more than that. I wanted to do whatever I could to make his stay there more comfortable, so that he didn't decide to abandon his progress. So, on the way for my visit, I decided to stop at the local superstore and buy him a couple of cases of cold drinks. This way he would have cold drinks that he could store in his room and have whenever he wanted one. And while I was there, I thought he might like some snacks too. And he might be more comfortable with a new pair of shoes, and then I remembered the cigarettes. The other residents of the facility were smoking "economical cigarettes" (as if those two words even belong together in the same sentence), but my son only smoked a special brand.
Looking back on this now, it all seems quite ridiculous. I just remember thinking to myself that someone, finally, would be able to see just how much I loved my son. These other men at the treatment center would identify with how much I loved him. My family hadn't gotten it, but here was someone who would finally understand my sacrifice.
When I drove into the parking lot and greeted my son, the other young men who were in the program with him were all watching in disbelief as the two of us were unloading the car. They understood the situation perfectly. My son had a long way to go in his treatment; he had many hurdles that he had to overcome. But he had one obvious problem that had the potential to completely derail his attempt at sobriety. That problem was…me.
Today, I know that I don't need to do anything more for my son than what he absolutely cannot do for himself. I cannot let my need to be a help end up hurting and doing more harm. The greatest help I can give to my son today is to let him be the man that he should be, the man that he needs to be, and that he has always wanted to be.
