Must Watch: First Full Trailer for 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close'
by Alex Billington
September 28, 2011
Source: Apple
The journey of one will change the lives of many. Warner Bros has just debuted the first official trailer for Stephen Daldry's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, based on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer, starring Tom Hanks and Thomas Horn as his son in the movie, Oskar Schell. The story involves a young boy who's father was killed in the 9/11 attacks, and his experiences when he finds a mysterious key. This is said to be a strong Oscar contender and it definitely looks it, thanks to the help of some U2 and a voiceover. The cast includes Sandra Bullock, Max von Sydow, John Goodman and Viola Davis. This looks wonderful!
Watch the trailer for Stephen Daldry's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, via Apple:
You can also download the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close trailer in High Def on Apple
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer's 2005 novel of the same name. A 9-year-old amateur inventor, jewelry designer, astrophysicist, tambourine player and pacifist searches New York for the lock that matches a mysterious key left by his father when he was killed in the September 11 attacks. In addition to Hanks & Horn, this also stars John Goodman, James Gandolfini, Zoe Caldwell, Max von Sydow, Viola Davis and Jeffrey Wright. It's directed by Stephen Dalrdy (Billy Elliot, The Hours, The Reader) from a script by Eric Roth (The Insider, Ali, Munich, The Good Shepherd, Benjamin Button). WB is releasing Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close on December 25th limited, wide January 20, 2012.

If a Democratic President cuts my Social Security I'll never vote for another Democrat. They ran on protecting both Social Security and Medicare and six weeks after the election they've put them on the table. The "fiscal cliff" is a manufactured crisis created by Republicans and conservative Democrats. Social Security doesn't contribute one red cent to the deficit so why is this "chained CPI" benefit cut on the table and put there by the President?
I left the Democratic Party four years ago. At this rate I'll soon register as a Green.
Almost none of the "experts" discussing the deficit talks on television has been an economist.
Gun nuts arguing for arming teachers are insane. Some are claiming Israeli teachers are armed. They aren't. The few who are in the West Bank also have two years of military training and have to be certified on their arms every three years.
Sen. Bob Casey and Congressman Charlie Dent both issued statements following the Newtown Child Massacre softening their positions on guns. Neither, however, came out for a ban on assault rifles, mandatory background checks or mandatory reporting of mental health conditions to the national database.
DPW Secretary Gary Alexander continues residing in Rhode Island and drives a state car back and forth each week at taxpayer expense. If Gov. Gasbag can't find someone within the Commonwealth to run the Department of Public Welfare then the Secretary should be forced to move.
AFSCME Council 13 has filed suit over the Governor's desire to privatize the lottery. Let's remember what privatizing government programs does: it transfers tax payer dollars from the public sector to the private for the sake of profit. Public programs should be prioritized for the public good, not for private profit.
The War On Drugs failed miserably and has cost taxpayers trillions. Now HSBC has been found guilty of laundering money for the drug cartels.
What happened to them as a consequence?
Breuer this week signed off on a settlement deal with the British banking giant HSBC that is the ultimate insult to every ordinary person who's ever had his life altered by a narcotics charge. Despite the fact that HSBC admitted to laundering billions of dollars for Colombian and Mexican drug cartels (among others) and violating a host of important banking laws (from the Bank Secrecy Act to the Trading With the Enemy Act), Breuer and his Justice Department elected not to pursue criminal prosecutions of the bank, opting instead for a "record" financial settlement of $1.9 billion, which as one analyst noted is about five weeks of income for the bank.
Remember that the next time you see a low level drug dealer busted.

An ID card to vote would be a poll tax if it was at all costly or difficult for some to acquire.
Am I going to get a "knock on the door" asking me to explain how Fidel's proletarian paradise knew so much about the poll tax?
A poll tax upon slaves is altogether different from a poll-tax upon freemen.
He said that a poll tax might be levied on the subjects of Charles and Francis then in London.
As holding possession of London and the central organization the parliament voted subsidies and a poll tax.
The most common and the most hated source of income in Virginia was the poll tax.
The poll tax and the insurance tax were used for other purposes.
It declared the poll tax levied in 1868, 1869 and 1870 illegal.
Thus in Missouri we find a statute of 1843 allowing a deaf man to be exempt from the poll tax and the tax on property up to $300.
Though the poll tax usually was not excessive, it was a source of constant irritation.
A tax required as a qualification for voting. After the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution extended the vote to blacks in 1870, many southern states instituted poll taxes to prevent blacks from voting. The Twenty-fourth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1964, prohibits poll taxes for federal elections.

Carlton AFL coach Mick Malthouse went beyond the usual boxing cliches on Friday by quoting a key figure in Ireland's war of independence about the importance of enduring.
Malthouse's men are win-less after three rounds, however their poor start to the season will surely turn around in Saturday's MCG clash with bottom side Melbourne.
"It's not those who inflict the most, but those that endure the most, that shall prevail."
So said the Lord Mayor of Cork, Terence MacSwiney.
How this statement will affect Malthouse's players, such as 19-year-old debutant Patrick Cripps, is unknown.
But for Malthouse, a triple-premiership coach who doesn't take kindly to having his game plan analysed, it's clearly us against them.
"It's a great quote because we've just got to endure," Malthouse told a media conference.
Having spoken earlier in 2014 about how the Blues were approaching 11 o'clock in the premiership window, the reality is Carlton have failed to fire a shot.
"Pressure? I've lived with pressure," the 60-year-old Malthouse said.
Asked about his game plan, Malthouse waved defiantly at one reporter.
"Yes, I've done it for 30 years so I'm a bit more experienced than some of the people that might want to comment about it," he said.
"We don't want to panic. We're not in a crisis.
"We just make sure that we get back on the horse.
"The mark of a man is getting off the canvas. Not how many times you fall.
"Getting up and taking it.
"That's why when the same sort of people who continually want to test and question game plans or personnel or where I sit. But I've prevailed on one principle.
"That I'll keep having a shot and I will make sure that the players I select will keep having a shot at it.
"It's the effort to get back off the canvas and keep going and over-ride any doubts that may come from people who've got different agendas and we just keep going."
Carlton have made four changes following their 81-point loss to Essendon, with key forward Jarrad Waite among the casualties.
Simon White, Tom Bell and the club's 2013 leading goalkicker Jeff Garlett have also been dropped.
Former club champion Heath Scotland, who has had an interrupted pre-season, returns to the team alongside Levi Casboult and Kane Lucas
Malthouse said he coached the club week by week, and his focus was on trying to make the top eight until it was mathematically impossible.
The inclusion of Chris Dawes will give Melbourne a genuine key forward for the first time this season.
Jordie McKenzie also comes into the side for Jack Fitzpatrick and Shannon Byrnes.
Melbourne have been rocked by this week's retirement of key forward Mitch Clark because of depression.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The fish seems fresher and the sushi chefs seem sharper at Uptown Sushi than anywhere else in town. On weekends, expect to dine among dressed-to-the-teeth singles mingling to a throbbing techno soundtrack. The sashimi is top-notch, and the raw Kobe beef is extremely popular. But it's the edgy, innovative dishes -- such as the tuna tartare served in a martini glass with Parmesan shavings -- that tickle the fancy of Houston sushi lovers. Wild things include the "lickety split roll," a bizarre-looking but tasty concoction of tuna, crawfish, cucumber and sprouts, topped with spicy tuna, yellowtail, salmon and avocado; it looks like a mosaic inside and it has a satisfying crunch. Watch out for the spicy "red roll," which features shrimp and avocado with crunchy cucumber, fresh jalapeo and sprouts on the inside and a layer of bright red tuna slathered with a red pepper paste on the outside -- it's hot!
You walk through the door, and no one seems particularly glad you came. You stare at all the amazing choices on the menu while they wait and sigh. You ask for pepper steak, and they give you meatballs. You ask for macaroni, and they say, "Yams it is!" But because they're the undisputed champ, and because any item you end up with from the This Is It! menu is going to be the best soul food in Houston, hands down, we'll grant them a little arrogance. Just be sure to pile on the gravy.
Whether you're fulla bull or not, if you want to feel fulla beef, no place satisfies like Hickory Hollow. Offering three sizes of the national steak of Texas, the Hollow has a plate suited for every appetite. The Plowman's Meal is described as "jest right fer lunch," but it's so large that almost any man will be forced to unbutton the top of his jeans. The Hired Hand's Meal claims to be "big enuf fer a Texan." Sure -- a fat Texan. The Rancher's Meal boasts of being "bigger'n a saddle blanket." And it dang near is. And at $10.95 for the enormous mass of battered, cubed steak with "river bottom gravy," plus a trip to the salad bar and mashed 'taters or fries, you can afford a real blanket to keep you warm while yer hospitalized from the heart attack it'll give ya. All sizes of delicious fried beef pass quality control: No need for a knife to cut the golden-brown meat; the ratio of beef-to-batter is perfect; and the color of the meat (light brown with a hint of pink) demonstrates that the Lone Star delicacy is cooked precisely.
More than just a Tex-Mex joint, Felix's is a historic local landmark, serving up enchiladas and margaritas to Houstonians for nearly sixty years. And when Felix Jr. announced that the place would be closing its doors and shutting down for good, there was an overwhelming response from people all over the city who couldn't bear to live without this Montrose staple. And then what happened? Nothing. Like Ozzy Osbourne and every furniture store this side of the Rio Grande, Felix's pulled a miraculous recovery and decided against retirement.
The Hershey's chocolate milk shake at Becks Prime is the epitome of what a milk shake should be: thick, extra-creamy and ice cold. It's so thick that you can't possibly drink it through a straw -- that's why they provide a spoon with every order. The creaminess and unbelievable mouth feel come from the high-butterfat soft-serve ice cream Becks uses as the base. About three quarters of the way through filling the cup with ice cream, the soda jerks squirt in a heavy dose of Hershey's chocolate syrup, give it a good whirl on the mixer and then fill the cup with even more ice cream, until it runs over the top. Another whirl at the mixer, and it's ready for you to take your first mouthful and experience what ice cold liquid chocolate tastes like. The servers are used to patrons standing in front of them moaning in ecstasy. It happens all the time.
Houston's Spanish-speaking community includes a great many people from El Salvador. If you need verification, just look for a pickup ftbol game at Hermann Park or hit a pupuseria, the Salvadoran answer to the taqueria. El Pupusdromo is easily the most successful Salvadoran chain in town, and with good reason: The pupusas, thick corn tortillas stuffed with refried beans, chicharrones (pork cracklings), cheese or any combination thereof, are made fresh and delicious. And at $1.50 each, all you need do is spoon on some cortido (spicy pickled cabbage and carrots) and you're in highly affordable heaven. The many and varied dishes offer an authentic taste of this Central American culture. Salcipon (diced beef stew with onions and mint), camarones a la criolla (shrimp with sauted onions and peppers), sopa de mondongo (beef foot and tripe soup) and tropical breakfasts with pltanos refritos y crema (fried plantains and a type of crme frache) will transport you far south of the border.

The moon's recently discovered hydrosphere is nothing like Earth's watery regime. None of the moon's water is ever liquid. Water in its reservoirs can be imperceptibly sparse, flows into its reservoirs may proceed a few molecules at a time, and none may ever leave. And, as seen in the five reports of new water-related results from the moon beginning on page 463 of this week's issue of Science, many enigmas remain.

Last October, London-based Henderson Group announced its merger with Denver-based money manager Janus Capital Group. This past March, two big British firms, Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management, agreed to join forces.
Several formidable trends are leading this activity in the asset management business. First, the growth of indexing, or passive, and quantitative strategies have been the recipient of massive and consistent inflows. Second, returns for active managers have been disappointing as few managers have been able to beat their benchmark net of fees and taxes. Third, technological disruptions such as robo-advisors, have impacted firms' access to distribution channels for their products and services. Fourth, record-low interest rates and controversial monetary policies have sparked a roaring stock market where investors just want exposure.

It is not an agreeable sight, which is probably why Mr Prescott has had half his monthly session cut. He now faces the house for only 15 minutes, which is why the Tories deploy William Hague to make his life even more hellish than before.
Mr Hague declared that it was an "insult to the taxpayer" that the deputy prime minister had 20 civil servants to help him do his non-job. They cost £2m a year, enough to keep 100 post offices open.
"That's almost as much as he earns in making speeches abroad," Mr Prescott growled in reply. The Tories thought this was hilarious. Obviously worth poking him with a stick again!
Mr Hague returned. In 1999 Mr Prescott had promised to protect post offices; now they were closing at the fastest rate ever. "Is this the intended result of a brilliant piece of coordination or the unintended result of a staggering piece of incompetence?"
The poor bear looked hunted and haunted. "He is always clever with the words!" he said bitterly. But words are the way politicians communicate. It's like the England cricket team complaining that the Aussies are always good with the bat.
The Tories were loving the sport. "Whoaaaa!" they went, as if trying to halt a runaway horse.
Then it was Tony Blair's turn. David Cameron decided to taunt him over pay for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. But Blair is no old and creaking bear. Even in the twilight of his premiership he is nimble-footed, able to startle and surprise.
He decided to drown the Tory leader in a great sticky vat of verbiage. "Let me explain," he said innocently enough. "Some of it is rather complicated."
You could say that again - or rather, if he had said it again, we would still be there. The way extra pay is calculated is indeed incredibly complex. On and on he went.
Now and again he tried to explain with body language, chopping his hand on to the dispatch box, putting thumb and middle finger together, as if that made it easier to understand. "The accumulated turbulence allowance ..." he droned. "More, more!" cried sarcastic wags.
Finally, he ground to a halt after two minutes and 59 seconds, which may not seem long but is an eternity at question time.

ODFL announces GRI
THOMASVILLE, N.C. (April 14, 2014) – Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc., announced from the carrier's Thomasville, N.C. headquarters the organization will be increasing its base rates 4.3 percent effective May 1, 2014.
"The general increase is in keeping with our long-term pricing philosophy and as such involves a restructure that provides for increases in our rates based on length of haul rather than the traditional across the board increases. The tariffs affected by the May 1, 2014 increase are the ODFL 559/555, 670 and the 505 Canadian tariffs. The rate increase will also provide for a nominal increase in minimum charges in Intrastate, Interstate or cross border lanes. Although each customer will have a different financial impact based on the lanes and distance their shipments move, the overall impact of the increase is approximately 4.3 percent," stated Polen.
Mr. Polen also said "At OD, we are committed to delivering on a superior value proposition that promises excellent transit service, award winning technology and best-in-class claims free delivery at a fair and reasonable price. As a result of that commitment and premium service, our customers are asking for more capacity, and more value added products and services. In order to meet that demand and deliver on the promises we have made to our customers, we must continue to build our network and systems. OD's philosophy is to take a fair and equitable approach that minimizes the impact to our customers' budgets yet at the same time, supports the value proposition we promised to the market place and OD stake holders. Therefore, this increase is necessary to offset the rising cost of new equipment, escalating insurance costs, securing new service center capacity, continuing to develop state-of-the art technology, and providing for competitive wages and benefits. We believe the increase is essential in order to continue to provide our customers with an industry leading value proposition."

I am so frustrated..
The same error raised with another reason, this time, on the EntityFramework Code First.
I have a one-to-many model defined, so, in the parent model, it is something like this:
public class Parent{
public virtual ICollection<Child> Children;
If I return the IQueryable<Parent>, the "You must write an attribute...." is coming up again, while if I return the IQueryable<Child> it is fine. If I removed the virtual, then parent can be returned, but EF cannot fill in the children (i.e., return [] for children property). Is that problem with the WebAPI as well?

As if the debate on gay marriage was not provocative enough! This article by Patrick Dineen I commend because it will make both the left and the right squirm. It echoes the point I have been making, namely, that we lost the fight for traditional marriage fifty years ago with the introduction of no-fault divorce laws, but Dineen goes further and points to the ways the ambient culture can be conservative in ways that accelerate the decline of traditional marriage. Interesting stuff.

2.02.15 - Breeding and genetic resources of five-needle pines
Richard A. Sniezko, United States
Dmitri Politov, Russian Federation
Anna W. Schoettle, United States
About Unit
The Working Party on Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines is concerned with research cooperation and exchange of information on all aspects of genetic research on the five-needle pines. This includes provenance testing and genetic resources, breeding, species hybridization, clonal propagation and testing, tissue or cell culture, cell and molecular genetics, and the genetics of host-pathogen interactions. Increasingly though we are using this knowledge to address issues related to climate change, land pressure and conservation.
State of Knowledge
The Unit has been particularly active over the past decade with four very informative meetings: Medford, Oregon USA (2001); Valiug, Romania (2006); Yangyang, Korea (2008); and Fort Collins, Colorado USA (2014). The Proceedings of these meetings can be found in the publications page of this Working Party.
Although traditionally the Unit has focused on provenance testing, selection and breeding, especially against important pests and pathogens, particularly white pine blister rust. An increasing emphasis is now on gene conservation and the impact of climate change. We have gained a great deal of knowledge and have had some moderate successes with blister rust to our productive species (see Forest Pathology Special Issue: White Pines, Ribes, and Blister Rust, August 2010, Volume 40, Issue 3-4). But it is now apparent that land use pressures, climate change along with diseases such as blister rust require us to focus more on gene conservation efforts and develop a holistic view looking at genetics, ecology in the framework of conservation.

Adelaide Park Lands
Coordinates: 34°56′05″S 138°37′00″E / 34.93467°S 138.61670°E
The Adelaide Park Lands are the parks that surround the centre of the South Australian capital city of Adelaide. They measure approximately 7.6 km² in a green belt encircling the city centre.
The parklands were laid out by Colonel William Light in his design for the city. Originally, Light reserved 9.31 km² for parklands, but allocated around 1.53 km² for government purposes. This area has largely been filled with cultural institutions along North Terrace, but further and additional areas have been alienated for railways, cemeteries, sporting facilities and other constructions. The parklands are managed by the Adelaide City Council and, since February 2007, the Adelaide Park Lands Authority.[1][2]
On 7 November 2008 the Federal Minister for Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, announced that the Adelaide Park Lands had been entered in the Australian National Heritage List as "an enduring treasure for the people of South Australia and the nation as a whole".[3]

Adelaide is a planned city, and the Adelaide Park Lands are an integral part of Colonel William Light's 1837 plan.[citation needed] Light chose a site next to the River Torrens, (which runs through the park lands), and planned the city centre on a grid south of the river, with the residential enclave of North Adelaide north of the Torrens on a gentle hill overlooking the river, its flood plain, and the central business district. Influenced by William Penn's design of Philadelphia, Light set out the city of Adelaide on a grid of one square mile, interspaced by wide boulevards and incorporating five large public squares. Light, recognising the importance of public parks, surrounded the entire city with the Adelaide Park Lands, a green-belt and the "lungs of the city".[citation needed]
By 1839 the parklands were threatened by extensive timber cutting, rubbish dumping, quarrying, squatting, and grazing. To check this, a body of special constables was instituted on 9 October 1839 by George Gawler and Superintendent Henry Inman. Inman appointed Nick Boys Bull (c.1800-1846), formerly a police sub-inspector, as Keeper of the Parklands. Bull led an initial team of six park rangers, most being convalescent migrants thrown on government support.[4] This dropped to two by 1840, then back to four by June 1841. Pay and rations were provided by the police department.[5]
Since 1852, the parklands have been managed and maintained by the Adelaide City Council. Public use of the parklands was controlled by a ranger who patrolled the parks, regulating sporting and recreational activities in the parks and supervising the depasturing of stock grazing there.[6]
The parklands saw very little development during the 19th century. Extensive felling of trees, quarrying and dumping of rubbish continued, which combined to give the parklands an unsightly appearance. In the late 19th century J.E. Brown, the government's Conservator of Forests, was commissioned by the City Council to prepare a blueprint for the beautification of the parklands. Brown presented his report in 1880, but it was not acted upon until the turn of the 20th century when A.W. Pelzer became the City Gardener. Major progress was made in planting and landscaping the parklands during his tenure (1899–1932) and further improvements such as creation of new gardens and boating lakes were carried under the authority of W.C.D. Veale, the Town Clerk (1947–1965).[6]
Parklands today[edit]
Today, some of the parklands are the location of public and cultural buildings. Many parts have been sculpted into planned gardens and playing fields. Some of the remainder is natural or regenerated Adelaide Plains bushland. Recent developments in the parklands have focused on maintenance and upgrading of recreational facilities, particularly through the Greening of Adelaide tree planting and replacement programs.[6]
Recent years have seen proposals made to redevelop Victoria Park, with the construction of a grandstand to cater for the Clipsal 500 and horse racing events. Due to lobbying by local resident groups this plan was eventually rejected by the Adelaide City Council and subsequently no longer pursued by the South Australian Government.
In December 2006 the Rann Government passed the Adelaide Parklands Act, which established the Adelaide Parklands Authority and a series of statutory protections for Adelaide's Parklands. At the time the Act was proclaimed Premier Mike Rann announced that a major return of alienated parklands would be made at the western edge of the city. The area to be returned lies between Railway Terrace, Port Road and the railway lines.[7]
In 2011 Premier Rann unveiled the plans for the return to parklands of 5.5 hectares of land occupied since 1879 by the Thebarton Water Depot. The land, now known as Narnunnga Park, was developed and landscaped with more than 23,000 trees and shrubs as an 'urban forest'. It features indigenous species including native pine.[8]
The parklands are made up of 29 individual parks, many shaped into formal or semi-planned gardens.[9]
The roadways crossing through the parklands define the separate parks, all of which are numbered (from "Park 1" through "Park 29"). The numbering starts at the northern end of the Parklands (the North Course of the Adelaide Golf Links), and increases clockwise around the perimeter. Most of the parks are more commonly known by a commemorative name, but some, particularly Park 10, are still known mostly by their number. In recent years, many parks were assigned alternative names as suggested by the indigenous Kaurna people.[10] However, the original English names assigned in the 19th century remain almost universally used.
Park 1[edit]
Kaurna Park Name & translation: Piltawodli 'possum place' ('pilta' = possum, 'wodli' = house or home) 76 hectares[11]
Of an irregular shape, Park 1 wraps around the western end of North Adelaide in a vaguely crescent or banana shape. The southern and western boundaries are provided by War Memorial Drive. The eastern boundary, from south to north, is formed by Montefiore Rd, the western end of North Adelaide (i.e. Strangways Tce, Mills Tce and Barton Tce West) and Jeffcott Rd. The northern boundary is formed by Park Tce.
Contains the Adelaide Golf Links.
Park 2[edit]
Padipadinyilla 'swimming place' 17 hectares[12]
Approximately square, the park is bounded by Fitzroy Tce (to the north), Prospect Rd (to the east), Barton Tce West (to the south) and Jeffcott Rd (to the west).
The Park provides a range of formal and informal facilities for cricket, swimming, tennis and family picnics. The north-west corner of the Park contains the Adelaide Aquatic Centre, picnic facilities and the Bush Magic playground. The remainder of the Park includes sporting facilities, open space and vegetation (designed and semi-natural landscapes).
- The Adelaide Swimming Centre was relocated to this Park in 1968/9 to replace the old City Baths on the current site of the Festival Centre. Renovated, enclosed and renamed Adelaide Aquatic Centre in 1985. Renovated again in 1998.
- The Bush Magic Play Park was designed in 1988, and is important as a precedent for the contemporary generation of play spaces around the Park Lands and metropolitan Adelaide. It was the first play park in SA to incorporate wheelchair access.
- Sporting facilities currently held under an annual licence to Blackfriars Priory School include change rooms, five playing fields and four tennis courts. The licence covers an area of approximately 35% of the Park. The school has first right of use of these areas on weekday afternoons after school, and on Saturday mornings.
Park 3[edit]
Kandarilla 'kandara root place' 3.3 hectares[13]
A small triangle bounded by Prospect Rd (west), Fitzroy Tce (north) and Main North Rd (east).
Contains open park.
Park 4[edit]
Kangattilla 'kangatta berry place' 9.4 hectares[13]
Approximately pentagonal, bounded by O'Connell St (west), Main North Rd (north-west), Lefevre Rd (north-east and east) and Barton Tce East (south).
Contains open and wooded park, with SA Water facilities at the western end. The former Fitzroy Croquet Club was located in the northern corner of the Park, and there were two ovals in the middle of the Park. The main structure of the SA Water facilities is an earth-covered reservoir, dating from the 1870s, that stored and supplied water to Adelaide. Associated with this are a two-storey red brick pumping station, a small brick pumping station "heavily painted in Brunswick green", and an electricity sub-station.
Park 5[edit]
Ngampa yerta 'ngampa root ground'[13]
Of irregular shape, the park is bounded by Robe Terrace (NE), Medindie Road (SE), Lefevre Road (W) and Main North Road (NW).
Contains two small ovals, surrounded by wooded park. There is also a Tree Planting Memorial, erected in 1982 by the North Adelaide Society, to recognise the community tree planting efforts in the locality.
Park 6[edit]
Nanto Womma 'horse plain' or 'male grey kangaroo plain'[14]
Roughly trapeziodal, the park is bounded by Robe Terrace (NNE), Kingston Terrace (SE), Lefevre Terrace (WSW) and Medindie Road (NW).
Contains open park, mainly used for horse grazing. There are three main paddocks, four feeding yards, five horse troughs, and a number of sandpits for the horses to roll in. There is a limit of 20 horses, and those licensed pay a weekly fee. (In 2005, the fee was $19.50 per week.)
The open areas are surrounded by woodland. There is a playground on the western boundary (Lefevre Tce), one of the Glover Playgrounds originally built in 1920, which also contains BBQ facilities and wide lawn spaces. The eastern third contains assorted playing fields, changing rooms, tennis courts and netball courts. Wilderness School holds a licence for eight tennis courts (also marked for netball), one cricket oval, two cricket practice nets, and three hockey/softball ovals. In 2005, there was also a green-painted brick structure with a flat roof, erected in the late 1960s, which "appears to have an undefined purpose and use".
Parks 7 and 8[edit]
Kuntingga 'kunti root place' (park 7)[15] and Barnguttilla 'barngutta root place'[15] (park 8) are small and elongated parks, with a combined area of 4.7 hectares, separating the east end of lower North Adelaide from Gilberton, and contain heritage listed olive groves. They act effectively as an enlarged median strip, with the major ring route of Park Terrace (southbound) and Mann Road (northbound) traversing the perimeter of both parks.
These parks were one of the first sites for the (European settlers) plantings of olives, and are the only section of the Park Lands that have kept the same use since the Council took over formal care of the Park Lands in the 1860s. The olive plantation is listed as a State Heritage Place.
Park 9[edit]
Tidlangga 'tidla root place'[16]
A triangular shape, bounded by Mackinnon Parade (NE), Bundeys Road (S) and Hackney Road (W). It has also been referred to as "Bundey's Paddock".
Contains assorted playing fields and changing rooms. An oval is licensed to Prince Alfred College on Saturday afternoons and Thursday evenings. In the past, contained a number of grass and bitumen tennis courts which have fallen into dis-repair and been removed.
Park 10[edit]
Warnpangga 'bullrush root place' 19 hectares[17]
Bounded by War Memorial Drive, Bundey's Road, MacKinnon Road, MacKinnon Parade, Finnis and Frome Road.
The Park is dominated by a number of sporting ovals and associated facilities licensed to the University of Adelaide, including a tennis pavilion, a grandstand, and changing rooms.
The Park also contains:
- The Adelaide Archery Club rooms, in the north eastern corner of the Park.
- The University Loop, a well used 2.2 km gravel running track, which encircles part of the Park.
- The Adelaide City Council Organic Recycling Depot/Nursery, (approx 1.6 hectares), comprising: an Office Building, 3 sheds, 6 glass houses, a shade house, and 6 propagating plant frames.
- The Lower North Adelaide Soldiers' Memorial Garden, located in the north of the Park.
- A number of sculptures, located in 1994 on the edge of the River Torrens.
- A small playground
Park 11[edit]
Tainmundilla 'mistletoe place'
A quite large piece of land bounded by the River Torrens (north), North Terrace (south), Hackney Rd (east) and Frome Rd (west). It contains the Zoological Gardens, the Botanic Gardens, the Botanic Park, the Wine Centre, the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH), the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science (IMVS), the Medical School of the University of Adelaide, and several University of South Australia buildings.
Park 12[edit]

Parkland preservation movement[edit]
Since the parklands were intended by the city founders to be reserved for parks, any development can be seen to go against the founding ambitions for Adelaide and be a source of controversy in the community.
In response to incessant pressure and erosion, in 1987 a public meeting was held, which resulted in the formation of the Adelaide Parklands Preservation Association Inc, (APPA).[19] Examples of such pressure and erosion are listed on APPA's "Hot Topics" page.[20]
A recent example of one such source of controversy is the Victoria Park racecourse and associated parklands south-east of the city centre which has been used for motor racing events for short periods of each year. In 2008 these parklands were targeted for development, incurring opposition from members of the community.[21][22] The proposed plans included construction of a permanent facility to house events such as the Adelaide 500 motor racing event.
On 30 August 2007 veteran Adelaide heritage consultant and conservation architect Ron Danvers[23][24] said it was "a myth" that Adelaide's founding fathers created the parklands exclusively for open space, and that it was "self-evident" that Colonel William Light's 1837 plan of Adelaide envisaged development of facilities beyond the CBD.[25] In a submission to the Adelaide City Council,[citation needed] Mr Danvers said the state Government's $55 million plan for a grandstand at Victoria Park for horse and motor racing was "completely consistent with the founding principles for the city". "Under Light's direction, the intention to locate public facilities outside of the main street grid is beyond question," he said in a report commissioned by developers KBR.[25]
Subsequently, numerous counter-arguments demonstrated the fallacies in those points of view, and the proposal was dropped.[26][27][28][29][30][31]

Speaking at the Associated Press Luncheon on Tuesday, President Obama criticized the budget put forth by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and passed by House Republicans. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by the GOP's upcoming presidential candidate, Mitt Romney–and, of course, the party's propaganda organ, Fox News. As was the case in 2011, Ryan's plan calls for shredding the social safety net and presenting the wealthy with a substantial tax cut. Obama accurately described the budget as "Social Darwinism," a return to failed "trickle down" economic policies and a "prescription for decline." Watch:
OBAMA: This Congressional Republican budget is something different altogether. It is a Trojan Horse. Disguised as deficit reduction plans, it is really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country. It is thinly-veiled Social Darwinism. It is antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everybody who's willing to work for it — a place where prosperity doesn't trickle down from the top, but grows outward from the heart of the middle class. And by gutting the very things we need to grow an economy that's built to last — education and training; research and development; our infrastructure — it is a prescription for decline. And everybody here should understand that because there's very few people here who haven't benefited at some point from those investments that were made in the fifties and the sixties and the seventies and the eighties. That's part of how we got ahead. And now we're going to be pulling those ladders up for the next generation.

I've heard the term many times, but perhaps you could explain the origin and the pejorative meaning of "social Darwinism". Why does such a term apply?

It refers to safeguarding the privileges of the wealthy and leaving those less fortunate on their own. Put bluntly, "I've got mine; screw you."

When the FBI SWAT team and two NSW detectives came for him, they shook up a normally quiet manicured neighbourhood in La Grange, Kentucky.
Paul "Doug" Peters, the man arrested over the collar bomb hoax attack on Sydney schoolgirl Madeleine Pulver, is listed as a resident of a five-bedroom, four-bathroom, three-car garage home on Heather Green Boulevard, La Grange, a quiet town of 5000 people, 48 kilometres north-east of Louisville.
His former wife, Debra Peters, is also listed on the US property.
A neighbour on the street, who asked not to be named, said his family was "aware" of the Peters family but "didn't see them very much". "They had some older children," he said.
The neighbour said he believed the Peters were the second family to move into the 400-square-metre home, which was built - along with the rest of the houses on the street - only five years ago.
He could not say how long the Peters had lived on Heather Green Boulevard, but added that they had lived in the house once, before moving out and moving in again, and said the two-storey house had been for sale for some time.
The house is listed on US real-estate websites as selling for $US400,000 ($380,000).
He described the area as surrounded by cornfields and a golf course and "very quiet". It was "filled with children" as it was less than half-a-kilometre from primary and high schools.
"It's a nice neighbourhood ... with sidewalks and street lights."
The neighbour said he had not been aware of the Pulver case until media reports about Mr Peters's arrest.
But he passed on a message from the residents on the street.
"The families in this neighbourhood hope that girl [Ms Pulver] has a great life," he said.
We had guys with machine guns in our backyard
There was nothing unusual about Mr Peters when he returned to La Grange a little over a week ago, another neighbour said.
He continued to walk the streets in pressed khakis and neat button-downs.
His three teenage daughters appeared to suspect nothing of the crime over which he is now accused.
"He was very passive," the neighbour said. "Always threw his hand up. Always said: 'G'day.'"
"He was a really unassuming, nice person," the neighbour said. "He just looked like he fitted into the neighbourhood. He wasn't scary at all."
The Peters family moved to La Grange about four years ago – although it wasn't until about two years ago that Mr Peters started to appear regularly.
Neighbours assumed he was semi-retired but did not know what he did for work.
Sometimes he would look after the house and his daughters while his former partner stayed with family in New Jersey. Sometimes they would stay together.
"I don't think there was any personal relationship there," the neighbour said.
As an FBI investigator combed through items on shelves in the garage, neighbours who declined to identify themselves told The Associated Press that they did not know the Peters and that they kept to themselves.
Another neighbour, who did not give his name, said he and his daughters, who were finishing their school work, were at home when the FBI SWAT team "came in heavy and hard" into the house next door.
"We had guys with machineguns in our backyard," he told AP, adding that there were no sirens and no shots were fired.
He and his wife told AP that Mr Peters probably spent about six months out of the past two years at the house.
He said they did not know the Peters but that there were no problems with them and they were "congenial" neighbours.

To elaborate just a little: SRFI-27 in v371 and earlier and v3.99.x produce exactly the same result, and they are the same as the SRFI-27 reference implementation. [I committed a repair to v3.99.x in SVN just now to put a new random source in the same initial state as v371 and earlier. Otherwise, the above wouldn't be true.] SRFI-27 in v372 produces different results, because the seeding function is different, and because a different initial state is used for a random source.

text: LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan has been released from jail, but she's not exactly a free woman.Witnesses said the actress walked out of a suburban Los Angeles jail at 1:35 a.m. Monday after serving 14 days of a 90-day sentence for violating her probation in a 2007 drug case. She is now required to begin a three-month stint in rehab.A judge in Beverly Hills, Calif., had ordered Lohan to report to rehab within a day of her release from jail, but shortened that time last week after conferring with Lohan's attorney and a prosecutor. The judge said during Lohan's surrender on July 20 that she had no control over how long the actress would be jailed, but did require her to serve her time a women's jail operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.The facility in Lynwood has hosted several starlets, including actress Michelle Rodriguez and socialite Paris Hilton. Lohan spent 84-minutes there in 2007 after being sentenced for her original case.Rodriguez served 18 days of her 180-day sentence and was released in January 2008. Hilton served 23 days in 2007 after she was caught driving twice on a suspended license while on probation for reckless driving.Lohan spent 84 minutes at the jail in 2007 after being sentenced on her case. At the time, inmates serving time for nonviolent offenses were serving about 10 percent of their sentences; that figure has now increased to about 25 percent, Whitmore said.Media have been camped outside the jail since Lohan was booked July 20, catching shots of her mother and sister coming to visit. Holley has also frequently visited Lohan.The actress' sentence has put several of Lohan's projects on hold, including her starring role in as Linda Lovelace in a biopic on the porn star's life.Lohan pleaded guilty in August 2007 to two misdemeanor counts of being under the influence of cocaine; no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent and one count of reckless driving. She was sentenced to three years of probation.The plea came after a pair of high-profile arrests earlier that year.

Julio Teheran struck out a career-high nine batters in Friday's series opener with the Washington Nationals, but the Atlanta Braves couldn't support him despite getting into the Nats' bullpen early in a 3-2 loss at Turner Field.
Stephen Strasburg was forced out of the game after just two innings with an oblique strain, seemingly giving the Braves a potentially easier time by getting to Washington's bullpen, but Craig Stammen threw four perfect innings.
Freddie Freeman hit a solo homer off Strasburg in the second, which was the only run the Braves scored off him. He also drove in the only other Atlanta run with an RBI-single off Tyler Clippard in the seventh. All told, the Braves only scratched out four hits – two a piece from Ramiro Pena and Freeman – but struck out 10 times (again).
"With Strasburg going out, we thought we had a better chance, but Craig Stammen came in and just shut us down," Freeman said on braves.com.
The Braves were unable to take advantage of anything else in that seventh inning despite Clippard's having a myriad of mistakes. After Freeman's single, Clippard loaded the bases by hitting Evan Gattis and Brian McCann. With the tying run on third and the winning run in scoring position with one out, Dan Uggla and Chris Johnson struck out to end the inning.
Teheran took a tough loss while striking out nine over 6 2/3 innings. It was the fourth time in his last five starts that Teheran has pitched into the seventh inning and has given up three runs or fewer in each of his last seven.
Denard Span led off the game with a triple to right and was driven in by Steve Lombardozzi's sacrifice fly. They'd also do the same thing in the sixth inning. The only other run Teheran gave up came in the second when Roger Bernadina and Danny Espinosa squeaked out consecutive one-out singles. Bernadina scored when Kurt Suzuki hit into a fielder's choice.
"It wasn't bad pitches," Teheran said. "I made my pitches, and [Span] got me."
The Braves can take comfort that they face Gio Gonzalez Saturday night. He is 2-3 with a 6.75 lifetime ERA against the Braves.Tags: Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Baseball, Craig Stammen, Dan Uggla, Denard Span, Freddie Freeman, Julio Teheran, MLB, Ramiro Pena, Stephen Strasburg, Washington Nationals

Delhi government to revive tree helpline, to be on call 24X7
With 20 per cent forest cover, Delhi may be one of greenest capitals but its tree helpline — started years ago —has been defunct for six months.delhi Updated: Nov 16, 2012 23:49 IST
With 20 per cent forest cover, Delhi may be one of greenest capitals but its tree helpline — started years ago —has been defunct for six months.
A number of people with information on damages to trees have been dialling government offices and journalists to know the number, but without any success.
A forest department wing where people could call and lodge complaints had to be shifted in March/April after a fire broke out. The facility has not been revived since then. But the facility was not very effective even when it was operational.
"A person used to take calls and forward the details to departments concerned," admitted an official.
The government said it had decided not only to revive the line but make it much better.
"We will set up a 24x7 tree helpline, outsourced on the lines of call centres. We will also introduce a voicemail facility — a computer-based system that allows users to exchange voice messages using a telephone — in the new helpline," said a senior government official.
"A lot of firms have applied. We will select one of them and, hopefully, the new facility will start very soon," he said.
"Earlier, massive staff shortage in the forest department and lack of publicity failed in making the helpline more effective. Somebody may pick up the phone but if he's not an expert, what's the use? There's no follow up. There are not enough forest rangers who can rush to the spot," said a tree expert, who is also a member of Delhi's tree authority.
The revamped helpline will attend to complaints regarding damages such as felling, damaging or lopping. Using this service, people can also get to know where to get new saplings from. Officials will provide details of nurseries supplying free saplings.
"We're also working on a web portal using which residents will be able to upload pictures of such activities and action will follow," the official said.

Essential Oil Research Updates
These are abstracts of research studies recently published in peer-reviewed journals around the world, along with our summary and opinions.
This first study investigates anticancer potential of the essential oil of the 'Mosquito Plant' or 'Feverleaf Teabush', Ocimum viride. This oil is primarly composed of Thymol (found, of course, in significant quantities in Thyme essential oil), along with a number of sesquiterpinoids and other constituents. It is important to note when reviewing ANY research such as this, and particularly with anti-cancer research, that these are only preliminary studies. They do not deeply investigate the possibilty for development of a protocol for humans -- though they do pave the way for more research to be peformed in this medical realm using essential oils.
This study notes that the essential oil from Ocimum viride induces cell death in a particular line of colon cancer cells - inducing cancer cell death is a crucial component of any cancer treatment, as one of the features of any cancer is that the cells do not naturally die-off, but continue to replicate without natural limitations.
Study: Cytotoxic and apoptotic activity of essential oil from Ocimum viride towards COLO 205 Cells. Food Chem Toxicol. 2009 Oct 20.
Sharma M, Agrawal SK, Sharma PR, Chadha BS, Khosla MK, Saxena AK. Oncology Group, Pharmacology Division, Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine,
Jammu, J & K, India-180016.
"We investigated the apoptosis inducing effect of essential oil (EO) from aerial parts of Ocimum viride in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (COLO 205 cell line). The COLO 205 cells were exposed to 0.0125 - 0.1 mul/ml of EO for 24, 48 and 72 h. Growth inhibition was determined by sulphorhodamine B (SRB) assay. Double staining with Acridine orange and Ethidium bromide for nuclear changes was performed. Cell cycle analysis and change in mitochondrial membrane potential was quantified by flow cytometry. Subsequently, using annexin V/PI assay, the proportion of cells actively undergoing apoptosis was determined. Changes in DNA were observed by DNA ladder assay. Eventually the surface morphology of apoptotic cells was studied by scanning electron microscopy."
"EO (essential oil) is cytotoxic to COLO 205 cells in dose and time dependent manner, as is evident by SRB assay. This observed cell death was due to apoptosis, as established by annexin V/PI assay, DNA Ladder formation and scanning electron microscopy. Our results reveal that EO has apoptosis inducing effect against COLO 205 cells in vitro and is a promising candidate for further anticancer study."
This second study investigated the in-vitro (in the test tube) effects of Tea Tree essential oil against the 'Swine Flu' virus. The study only looks at the direct eradication of the virus, and not at the way essential oils interact with the immune system (essential oils have been shown to improve immune system function in a number of ways). The study DOES conclude that Tea Tree essential oil can have a direct eradication effect on the H1N1 virus.
Study: In vitro antiviral activity of Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil. Lett Appl Microbiol. 2009 Sep 18.
Garozzo A, Timpanaro R, Bisignano B, Furneri PM, Bisignano G, Castro A. Department of Microbiological and Gynaecological Sciences, University of Catania, Catania, Italy.
Abstract Aims: To investigate the in vitro antiviral activity of Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil (TTO, or Tea Tree essential oil) and its main components, terpinen-4-ol, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, p-cymene, terpinolene and alpha-terpineol. Methods and Results: The antiviral activity of tested compounds was evaluated against polio type 1, ECHO 9, Coxsackie B1, adeno type 2, herpes simplex (HSV) type 1 and 2 viruses by 50% plaque reduction assay. The anti-influenza virus assay was based on the inhibition of the virus-induced cytopathogenicity. Results obtained from our screening demonstrated that the TTO and some of its components (the terpinen-4-ol, the terpinolene, the alpha-terpineol) have an inhibitory effect on influenza A/PR/8 virus subtype H1N1 replication at doses below the cytotoxic dose. The ID(50) value of the TTO was found to be 0.0006% (v/v) and was much lower than its CD(50) (0.025% v/v). All the compounds were ineffective against polio 1, adeno 2, ECHO 9, Coxsackie B1, HSV-1 and HSV-2. None of the tested compounds showed virucidal activity. Only a slight virucidal effect was observed for TTO (0.125% v/v) against HSV-1 and HSV-2. (Ed. note: Tea Tree and MANY other essential oils HAVE been shown effective in treating HSV in humans. This is not a result of direct eradication of the virus, but an interaction of the essential oil with our cell physiology that prevents infection and speeds healing of outbreaks). Conclusions: These data show that TTO has an antiviral activity against influenza A/PR/8 virus subtype H1N1 and that antiviral activity has been principally attributed to terpinen-4-ol, the main active component. Significance and Impact of the Study: TTO should be a promising drug in the treatment of influenza virus infection.

I was offered the privilege on Friday of introducing Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana at CPAC, who gave a nice, staunch speech about conservatism and urged John McCain to "embrace the Right and the Right will embrace you." In my introduction, I noted that Brent Bozell said it used to seem like many Republicans on the Hill were conservative leaders when Reagan was president, since they were carrying out Reagan's work. But now, when Republicans are back in the minority and conservatives are discouraged, there might be five people you can identify as conservative leaders on the Hill. You might debate the other four, but nearly everyone nods their head at the mention of Mike Pence. You can see the Pence video at TownHall.
On one of our issues in Medialand -- the reimposition of a "Fairness Doctrine" to clamp down on conservative talk radio -- Pence has been a stalwart. He received several standing ovations, including these lines on freedom of speech:
And the future of conservatism demands that we oppose censorship, whether it takes the form of the so-called Fairness Doctrine or takes the form of Campaign Finance Reform. Our freedom to speak and listen to who we want when we want is a blood-bought American right. We must not permit the Democrats to bring back the so-called Fairness Doctrine.
Talk radio makes up the signal battalion of our movement. As Democrats pledge to return censorship to the airwaves of America, conservatives should know the next President of the United States can restore the so-called Fairness Doctrine without an act of Congress. Our candidates must stand for freedom, reject the censorship of the left and commit to end the Fairness Doctrine once and for all.
