Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton says people who have apologised to her for presuming she killed her baby Azaria are "courageous" to admit they were wrong.
Mrs Chamberlain-Creighton said broadcaster Wendy Harmer, who yesterday wrote a column on her website The Hoopla apologising to the Chamberlain family, is only the second media personality to say sorry.
"I think they have a huge amount of courage to admit that they were wrong," Mrs Chamberlain-Creighton told ABC's AM program, discussing people who had written to her expressing their remorse.
"And there was a media personality yesterday, good on her, she's only the second one ever to do so in the media."
The other media personality was former Channel Ten news director Kevin Hitchcock, who spoke to smh.com.au today about his apology in the 1980s.
After 32 years, four inquests, a royal commission and Mrs Chamberlain-Creighton's stint in prison, a coroner yesterday handed down the official verdict that a dingo had snatched nine-week old Azaria from an Uluru camp site in 1980.
Harmer, who performed a stand-up piece rejigging a song called Everyone Knows It's Windy to Everyone Knows It's Lindy in the 1980s, said she was one of millions who owed the family an "abject, grovelling apology".
"Thank you for your forbearance and patience in the face of my blind ignorance and cruelty," she wrote.
"I am truly sorry for your loss."
Mrs Chamberlain-Creighton said she is halfway through writing a book about forgiveness.
She said her son Aidan, who was six when Azaria was taken, had not coped well over the years.
"He has a lot of anger pent up in him that he is slowly managing to let go and this is a huge way towards helping with that finally."
If you smile that's dreadful, you should be crying. And if you don't smile you're hard-hearted and if you cry all the time you're a drama queen
The Chamberlains' demeanour after their daughter's death had attracted public scepticism, but Mrs Chamberlain-Creighton said it was hard to do anything right in the eyes of the media.
"We'd been in the news for laughing at Azaria's death site, which all we were doing was having lunch between court on the picnic tables with a lot of other media.
"But a new group of media came along and needed a headline and saw us there and decided that was a great headline: 'Picnic at death rock'.
"So that was wrong when the public doesn't know what the setting is.
"If you smile that's dreadful, you should be crying. And if you don't smile you're hard-hearted and if you cry all the time you're a drama queen.
"The other thing is when you're walking through a crowd who are hissing and booing and cheering and congratulating you; you've got those that love you and those that hate you.
"I suggest you you try walking into a hostile crowd and see what you do. You sort of try and remain as neutral as possible.
"You're never going to please everybody, there's nothing you can do, you've just got to do your best."

Game Analytics
Game analytics has become the new buzz word within the game industry. Tons of data about players, what they do, what they pay money for, as well as data on technical performance, NPC behaviors, etc., are all suddenly at the fingertips of the industry. However, the real question is: what can you do with this type of data? What is the real value of game metrics for designers, user researchers, community managers, marketing and management? In fact, how do you know you are collecting the right data or that you are analyzing and reporting it correctly and efficiently? How can you make sense of the data through effective data mining and visualization techniques and systems. This project explores this complex mutli-dimensional research area through exploring the development of visualization systems, analysis mechanisms, and data mining techniques.

questions about ftp connection
hi all,
if i have a side A with, lets make it simple, one pc (ip 192.168.1.10, GW 192.168.1.1, public fixed) and side B one ftp server (192.168.1.10, GW 192.168.1.1, piblic fixed). now i want to establish a ftp session between pc on side A and the ftp server, src ip would be 192.168.1.10 and dest. ip public ip from side B(lets assume i have a port forwarding on side B).
but how would the ip header look like for the communication from side B to side A?
first they are in the same ip subnet, would that work? and how does side B know about the public ip of side A?
tried to have a look with wireshark, but our ftp server is only accessable via ssh, so dont see much.
any ideas? thanks!
so you mean that the src ip in the ip header on side A will be the public of side B and vice versa? i guessed so but was not sure.

Dacetini, Formicidae, Hymenoptera, Insecta, Arthropoda, Animalia
Line drawing of worker face, from Brown (1959): (original).
Full Range: Costa Rica south to Amazonian Brazil and Peru.
Costa Rican Range: Atlantic and southern Pacific lowlands.
Mandibles in full-face view linear, elongate and narrow; ventral surface of petiole without spongiform tissue; leading edge of scape with freely projecting hairs; inner margin of mandible with a clearly defined submedian tooth near the midlength; labral lobes long, trigger hairs at apices of lobes short; preapical denticles gradually decreasing in size; mandibles relatively short (MI 33-45); propodeal suture moderately impressed; total head length less than 0.90mm; eyes relatively small, with 14 or fewer ommatidia, with 2-4 in longest row; scapes relatively short (SI 48-61); head in full-face view relatively narrow, CI 66-71; in profile head strongly dorsoventrally flattened, the maximum depth of the head capsule 0.35-0.41 X head length; color light yellow-brown; pair of mesonotal setae short and inconspicuous, tilted rearward. Also see Bolton (2000:196).
Natural History
Members of the genus are all predaceous, with a static pressure mode of attack (Bolton 1999).
Brown (1959) characterized the genus Neostruma (now part of Pyramica, see Bolton 1999) as forming
small colonies, chiefly in the leaf litter of rain forest or tropical evergreen forest, and nests occupy cavities in rotting twigs, pieces of bark or similar forest-floor vegetable debris... The food... consists primarily of small entomobryomorph Collembola and possibly some other minute terrestrial arthropods as well. Hunting behavior is like that of Smithistruma [also now part of Pyramica] rather than like the Strumigenys so far studied.
This species inhabits lowland rainforests. I have encountered it mainly as workers from Winkler samples of forest floor leaf litter. At La Selva Biological Station, an alate queen was collected in a canopy fogging sample.
Original Description
Neostruma zeteki Brown 1959:10, figs. 1, 5. Holotype worker, paratype workers and queen: Panama, Barro Colorado Island, ii-iii.1943 (J. Zetek) [USNM].
Later moved to Pyramica. See Bolton (2000) for complete synonymy.

Faulk County, SD History .....Chapter XXI Early History 1909

Joy Fisher January 7, 2005, 4:56 pm
Robinson, in the History of South Dakota, Vol. 1, page 399, says:
"Faulk county was named after the third Governor of the territory, and dates
from January 8, 1873. It was not organized until October 25th, 1883, when
Governor Ordway appointed commissioners for that purpose. The county seat was
located at LaFoon but soon removed to Faulkton. The railroad reached the county
in 1884 (evidently a misprint as Faulk county was without a railroad until the
fall of 1886.) The earliest exploration of the county was probably by William
Dixon, in one of his trips to the James river in 1828. The county is upon the
line of travel from the Missouri to the Minnesota, and John C. Fremont and
Joseph N. Nicollet passed through it in 1839, Dr. Stephen R. Riggs in 1840.
James R. Brown made many trips through this section in the thirties. Scatter
-wood lake in the northeastern portion, was a famous Indian camp. Faulkton is
the chief town. John A. Pickler of this county was representative in congress
from 1889 to 1896. Howard Fuller, judge of the supreme court. Major Humphrey,
adjutant general from 1897 to 1901. Area 1016 square miles, population 3547."
We are under obligations to D. H. Latham, Esq. for the following interesting
communication upon this interesting subject:
"General John C. Fremont and party visited what is now Faulk county in 1839.
"Doane Robinson, our state historian, has discovered by delving into the
records and reports of General Fremont on file in the war department at
Washington, that General John C. Fremont and party traveled across what is now
Faulk county in the year 1839, and no doubt was one of the first white people to
visit this section.
"In 1839, Dr. Joseph N. Nicollet, the famous French scientist, came up the
river to Fort Pierre, accompanied by General C. Fremont, then a young man. They
were in the employ of the government and had been sent out to map the Dakota
country, the first official action of this kind. They remained at Pierre for
several weeks, preparing for their work, and then set out for the James river
and arrived at Medicine knoll, near Blunt, on the evening of July 3. At midnight
Fremont went to the top of Medicine knoll and fired guns and rockets in
celebration of the national anniversary. After traveling part way to the James
they stopped to fish at Scatterwood lake, Faulk county, finally reaching the
river at Armadale grove in Spink county. This grove was a famous camping place
for the Indians and early travelers. Thence they passed up the James and across
to Devils lake, and thence back down the coteaux to Lake Traverse and Big Stone,
whence they left the state, going down the Minnesota to St. Paul.
"In traveling across the country from Blunt to Scatterwood lake, General
Fremont and party must have crossed the Nixon river in the vicinity of Faulkton,
about July 5th, 1839."

text: Stuff just doesn't last for me. I have ben't 3 spindles this year, had a side blowout on my z (4 ply tire too) and just ran into a dump truck last week doing close to $2000 dollars worth of damage to the trailer, truck escaped with only a small scratch. To top it all off last week I put a crack in the housing on my transfer case in the jeep. Do any of you have bad luck like me or just generally put a beating on your equipment?

Algeria, a gateway between Africa and Europe, has been battered by violence over the past half-century and remains at war with itself.
Angola was embroiled in civil war for virtually the entire quarter century since independence.
Benin, formerly known as Dahomey, has emerged as a beacon of democracy and one of the most stable countries in Africa.
Botswana is Africa's longest continuous multiparty democracy. It is among the continent's most stable countries, relatively free of corruption and has an outstanding human rights record.
Burkina Faso
A poor country even by West African standards, the landlocked state of Burkina Faso has suffered from recurring droughts, matched in number only by the military coups it has endured, especially during the 1980s.
Since independence in 1961 Burundi has been plagued by tension between the dominant Tutsi minority and the Hutu majority.
The modern state of Cameroon was created in 1961 following the unification of two former colonies, one British and one French. Since then it has struggled from one-party rule to a multiparty system in which the freedom of expression is severely limited.
Cape Verde
Poor in natural resources, prone to drought and with only 10% arable land, the Cape Verde islands are heavily dependent on food imports, mostly in the form of aid.
Central African Republic
The Central African Republic (CAR) is endowed with virgin rainforests and has some of the highest densities of lowland gorillas and forest elephants in Africa.
Although rich in gold, uranium and oil, Chad is among the world's poorest countries.
Potentially a holiday paradise whose picture-postcard beaches could support an economy-boosting tourist industry, the Comoros islands have fallen victim to a vicious circle of coups in which European mercenaries figure prominently.
Republic of Congo
The Republic of Congo has emerged from a decade of civil wars, but hopes of a return to peace and stability have been marred by ongoing fighting with militia groups.
Democratic Republic of Congo
A vast country with immense economic resources, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) has been at the centre of what could be termed Africa's world war

While best known for its pyramids and ancient civilizations, Egypt has played a central role in the political situation within the region in modern times.
Equatorial Guinea
Since independence in 1968, Equatorial Guinea has been ruled by two men - from the same family - who have been described by a variety of human rights organisations as among the worst abusers of human rights in Africa.
Eritrea emerged from its long war of independence in 1993 only to plunge once again into war, first with Yemen and then, more devastatingly, with its old adversary, Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is Africa's oldest independent country and, with the exception of a five-year occupation by Mussolini's Italy, has never been colonised.
One of West Africa's more stable countries, Gabon boasts the highest income per capita in the region thanks to its oil wealth, which accounts for 80% of exports.
Gambia is one of Africa's smallest countries and in contrast to many of its West African neighbours, it has enjoyed lengthy spells of stability since independence
Ghana was the first place in sub-Saharan Africa where Europeans arrived to trade - first in gold, later in slaves.
Although Guinea's mineral wealth makes it potentially one of Africa's richest countries, its people are among the poorest in West Africa.
Once hailed as a potential model for Third World development, Guinea-Bissau is now one of the poorest countries in the world.
Ivory Coast
Once hailed as a model of stability, Ivory Coast is in danger of slipping into the kind of internal strife that has plagued so many African countries.
Situated on the equator on Africa's east coast, Kenya has been described as "the cradle of humanity".
The Kingdom of Lesotho is made up mostly of highlands where many of the villages can be reached only on horseback, by foot or light plane.
Situated in West Africa, Liberia is Africa's oldest republic. However, since the 1990s it has become better known for its long civil war and its role in the war in Sierra Leone.
Libya has been isolated by much of the international community for many years for its alleged connection with the bombing of a PanAm plane over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988.
Madagascar is the world's fourth biggest island after Greenland, New Guinea and Borneo. Because of its isolation most of its mammals, half its birds, and most of its plants exist nowhere else on earth.
For three decades the destiny of Malawi was tied to the whims of President-for-Life Kamuzu Banda who enjoyed being surrounded by dancing women and who encouraged people to betray relatives who criticised his rule.
The landlocked West African country of Mali is one of the world's poorest nations. Since independence from France in 1960, Mali has suffered droughts, rebellions, a coup and a 23-year-long military dictatorship.
A largely desert country, Mauritania forms a link between Arab Maghreb and western sub-Saharan Africa.
Mauritius, a volcanic island of lagoons and sandy beaches in the Indian Ocean, has a reputation for stability and racial harmony among its mixed population of Asians, Europeans and Africans.
The Kingdom of Morocco is the most westerly of the North African countries known as the Maghreb.
Mozambique has been battered by colonial rule, civil war and famine, but since the government and rebels signed a peace deal ending 16 years of civil war the country has made big strides on the road to recovery.
Namibia, a large and sparsely populated country on Africa's southwest coast, has enjoyed more than a decade of stability under President Sam Nujoma, who led the long fight against rule by South Africa.
A vast, arid state on the edge of the Sahara desert, Niger has suffered austere military rule for most of the years since independence from France in 1960 and is rated by the UN as one of the world's poorest nations
After lurching from one military coup to another, Nigeria now has an elected leadership. But it faces the growing challenge of preventing Africa's most populous country from breaking apart along ethnic and religious lines.
Rwanda has experienced Africa's worst attempted genocide in modern times and is still recovering from the shock. However, its efforts at recovery have been marred by its intervention in the civil war in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
Sao Tome
Sao Tome and Principe, at one time a leading cocoa producer, is now struggling to shake off its dependence on the crop. Cocoa production and prices have dropped, leaving the island state heavily reliant on foreign aid.
The 40-year rule of Senegal's Socialist Party came to a peaceful end in March 2000.
After an ominous, post-independence start which saw them lurch from a coup, through an invasion by mercenaries to an abortive army mutiny and several coup attempts, the Seychelles have stabilized and attained prosperity.
Sierra Leone
The West African state of Sierra Leone emerged from a decade of civil war in early 2002, with the help of Britain, the former colonial power, and a large United Nations peacekeeping mission.
Somalia was without an effective central government for much of the 1990s, after President Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991.
South Africa
Diversity is a key feature of South Africa, where 11 languages are recognised as official, where community leaders include rabbis and chieftains, rugby players and returned exiles, where traditional healers ply their trade around the corner from stockbrokers and where housing ranges from mud huts to palatial homes with swimming pools.
Sudan is the largest and one of the most diverse countries in Africa, home to deserts, mountain ranges, swamps and rain forests.
Swaziland is one of the world's last remaining absolute monarchies, with the king ruling by decree over his million subjects who live mainly in rural areas and maintain traditional ways of life.
Tanzania has been spared the internal strife that has blighted many African states.
Togo, a narrow strip of land on Africa's west coast, has for years been the target of criticism over its human rights record and more recently over its alleged support for the Angolan rebel group Unita in defiance of international sanctions.
Home of the ancient city of Carthage, Tunisia has for a long time been an important player in the Mediterranean, placed as it is in the centre of North Africa, close to vital shipping routes.
Since the late 1980s Uganda has rebounded from the abyss of civil war and economic catastrophe to become a model of relative peace, stability and even some prosperity.
Zambia has moved from being a major copper producer and potentially one of the continent's richest countries at independence in 1964 to one of the world's poorest.
The fortunes of Zimbabwe have for the past two decades been tied to President Robert Mugabe, who wrested control from a small white community and put the country on a stable course.

Press release from Park Ridge Health:
Hendersonville, N.C. (July 10, 2014) — Park Ridge Health is the first hospital in our community to provide around-the-clock monitoring of intensive care unit (ICU) patients by intensivist physicians and critical care nurses through telemedicine, delivering an extra layer of care that enhances patient safety.
A recipient of the recent Premier Partnership for Patients Award for success in patient safety, Park Ridge Health now provides an additional layer of safety through the use of tele-ICU technology. Independent studies demonstrate that this 24/7 intensivist monitoring significantly improves patient outcomes and patient safety in the ICU. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), implementation of a tele-ICU program was associated with reduced adjusted odds of mortality and reduced hospital length of stay, as well as with improvements in best practice adherence and lower rates of preventable complications.
To implement its program, Park Ridge Health has partnered with Advanced ICU Care®, the nation's largest provider of tele-ICU services.
"The Advanced ICU Care program delivers additional critical care expertise directly to our patients, along with evidence-based practices to complement the high-quality care our physicians and staff already provide," said Craig Lindsey, Vice President of Clinical Services at Park Ridge Health.
The Advanced ICU Care team of intensivists and critical care nurses add to the care provided by the Park Ridge Health team, continuously monitoring patients' vital signs, medications, labs and clinical status. Proactive data management tools identify issues before they become urgent, prompting immediate intervention when necessary. Two-way video access in each patient's room enables face-to-face consultations between the bedside and Advanced ICU Care team during periods of evaluation or when called on by the caregiver.
"This is a new horizon in health care, because it takes the concept of telemedicine to the bedside," said Carlo Mainardi, M.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.R., Vice President of Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer at Park Ridge Health. "When a Park Ridge Health patient is admitted to the ICU, there will automatically be a connection to Advanced ICU care. They will then do an initial evaluation of the patient and participate in their care. This will not in any way hinder the day-to-day care that our staff and our physicians provide, but will supplement it."
About Park Ridge Health: Founded in 1910, Park Ridge Health is a beloved piece of our growing community's health care network, providing leading-edge, compassionate care in a Christian environment.

Thanks much, -KenD and Brian said, "Ports are broken completely for me with this beta." ========================================================================= Ken - Yes. Brian - Not true. Ken, I had the same problem, especially w/ autoconf262 spawning an error, until Kris Moore provided this solution that sets some environmental variables in order to ensure ports build properly. 1. Run the "runports" command [Kmenu -> System -> RunPorts (root)] 2. At the root prompt, type make and hit Enter 3. Kris also advised that the make command runs through the many installed packages and will pause on almost every one and presents a blue screen reminiscent of sysinstall in order to let you customize the settings and components. That makes the process a lengthy one. You can avoid this e blue options screen with an edit (as root) to /etc/make.conf. Uncomment BATCH=yes, this makes it take all the defaults. Also through the "makeports" option, you can use pkg_add if you like at the same time. You'll want to refer to the FreeBSD docs for usage on this. After running this commands, you will find that ports installs fine. Ian Robinson Salem, Ohio -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In 1955 he left the Brooklyn Dodger organization to focus on basketball. He first played basketball with the Washington (D.C.) Capitols (1950–51). In his 10 seasons (1951–52 through 1960–611951–61) with the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA), he averaged 17.8 points a game in regular-season play (12,665 points in 710 games) and 18.5 points in championship play-offs (1,446 points in 78 games). The Celtics won the NBA title in four of Sharman's last five seasons. He established NBA career records for free-throw shooting average in regular seasons (.883, with 3,143 successful throws in 3,557 attempts; record later broken) and play-off series (.911, with 370 of 406). His average of .932 (342 of 367) in 1958–59 was an NBA record for a single season. In the play-offs following that season, he set another NBA standard with 56 consecutive successful free-throw attempts. Sharman was named to the NBA All-Star first team in three successive seasons (1956–59) and to the second team in 1953, 1955, and 1960.

Paris, France (ESA) Nov 02, 2009
The Russian State Commission has given the go-ahead to fuel the Rockot launcher that will take ESA's SMOS and Proba-2 satellites into orbit. This formal authorisation confirms that launch can take place on 2 November at 02:50 CET (01:50 UT).
The go-ahead to fuel follows the launch dress rehearsal, which took place in the Mission Control Centre near the Plesetsk launch site on 28 October.
The rehearsal involved running a simulated launch countdown sequence in conjunction with operation centres at the French space agency CNES in Toulouse, France, and ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Villafranca, Spain, for SMOS and ESA's ground station in Redu, Belgium, for Proba-2.
A formal review with the Russian State Commission was held, where representatives of the various organisations involved were asked to report on the status of their activities.
In his statement to the State Commission, ESA's Project Manager for SMOS, Achim Hahne said, "I herewith can report that the SMOS and Proba-2 spacecrafts are fully tested, fuelled, and prepared for launch. I therefore ask the honourable gentlemen of the State Commission to authorise the fuelling of the launcher and conduct the final launch preparations. I would like to express my gratitude for the professional support we have experienced from all involved entities: the Russian Space Forces, Krunichev, and Eurockot."
The State Commission's confirmation of readiness to fuel marks one of the last important milestones on the road to launch SMOS and Proba-2. Both satellites have been several years in the making and, with launch now confirmed, their missions to advance science and technology will soon begin.
The SMOS mission, also known as 'ESA's water mission' will employ a new use of technology to measure the moisture in soil and salinity in the surface waters of the oceans. The data will improve our understanding of the water cycle and be important for weather and climate modelling, water resource management, agriculture and also contribute to the forecasting of hazardous events such as floods.
ESA's Project Manager for Proba-2, Karsten Strauch, said, "Proba-2 is the second mission in ESA's In-Orbit Demonstration Programme, which is dedicated to demonstrating innovative technologies. Looking forward to its launch and operations phase, I want to express my thanks to all involved so far in this marvellous Proba project."
Proba-2 is the second Project for Onboard Autonomy mission. As a technology demonstrator, it incorporates a total of 17 new technical developments and four scientific experiments, focused on solar and space weather observations.
Both SMOS and Proba-2 are launching on the same Rockot launcher, which is a converted SS-19 intercontinental ballistic missile with a new Breeze-KM upper stage.
SMOS will be injected into orbit 70 minutes after launch, with confirmation of separation coming from Hertebeesthoek in South Africa. The much smaller Proba-2 satellite sits below SMOS in the fairing, and is injected into orbit around 80 minutes after SMOS.

Given to the College in 1962 by Dr. James William Hinton, Professor Emeritus,
New York University Medical School
THE HAMPDEN-SYDNEY AMPHORA by Mary Prevo
Objects of cultural significance often come to colleges, where they are deposited by their owners in the expectation that they will enrich learning. Many times these gifts are relatively informal and little is known about them before they come to the institution. Such is the case with the Hampden-Sydney amphora, a gift in 1962 of Dr. J. William Hinton of New York City.
Not an alumnus, but awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters in 1961, Dr. Hinton was impressed by the place ancient cultures held in the Hampden-Sydney curriculum. His gift to the then-newly-opened Eggleston Library also included a small collection of ancient coins, as well as a fragmentary marble head of a child. For whatever reason, the amphora, usually kept in the Rare Book Room of the library, attracted little attention over the years. And, as is often the case with gifts of this sort, there is no file on the object as one would find in a museum.
RESEARCHING THE AMPHORA, 2000In conjunction with the Trojan War symposium in 2000, Mary Prevo, Instructor in Fine Arts, undertook research on the amphora so that it might be used more productively as a teaching tool. Hampden-Sydney colleagues James Arieti, Pam Fox, Sharon Goad, Richard McClintock, and Lorie Mastemaker, all helped her in the preparation and presentation of this research, in a display in the Atkinson Museum. Also lending invaluable expertise were Sharon Koehler, conservator in private practice, and Dr. Margaret Ellen Mayo, Curator of Ancient Art, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Iowa State landed one local commitment (ATH Jarvis West of Gibbs) last week, and now the Cyclones appear very interested in another area talent.
According to Tarpon Springs coach George Kotis, ISU has its eyes on Spongers RB Adrian Golden.
"They've been in touch with him for a year," Kotis said. "Things are heating up. They've got a spot they want to fill with a tailback."
The Tarpon Springs staff sent video of Golden to the Cyclones on Thursday. A decision on whether a scholarship will be offered should come sometime soon.
"I think one way or another, we'll know something within a week or two," Kotis said.
Golden has rushed for 928 yards on 98 carries this season.
He touched the ball just once on offense in Friday night's 44-7 win over Wiregrass Ranch because of what Kotis called a sore hip.

Dear Coleen,
I've been with my girlfriend for nearly seven years and we've been engaged for three of those.
A few years ago she had to move to a new town and, while I was running about like a headless chicken worrying about her, she slept with another guy.
I forgave her, but didn't trust her at all and there were rows every night. I've now found out she has been in contact with the guy she slept with.
Do I forgive her a second time or is it like all my friends say: "time to move on"?
Coleen says..
You say you forgave her, but you kind of didn't. If you make the decision to forgive, you have to move on and trust that person until they let you down.
However, it seems your instincts were probably right because she's still in touch with this guy.
I also think distance is a massive problem in a relationship – it's OK for a couple of weeks or even a month, but any longer and you start living separate lives and meeting new people. And you can start behaving like a single person when you're not.
The only way to move on and sustain the relationship is to live in the same town. Otherwise, admit you've taken different paths in life and move on. It hurts, but you'll get over it.

Ever wonder how much you and your business might benefit from a little sage advice, as in tips and guidance from someone who's "been there, done that"?
You can stop wondering. MicroMentor, a free program offered by the nonprofit Mercy Corps, connects entrepreneurs with volunteer mentors.
"Our mission is to help small businesses grow faster, increase their revenue, and expand their workforce," says Anita Ramachandran (pictured), senior partnership development officer. "MicroMentor provides entrepreneurs access to a pool of experience and wisdom, matching mentors with small-business owners based on industry, expertise, and location."
According to Ramachandran, mentors help small-business owners in many areas, principally finance, marketing, and general operations.
Most of its mentees are companies with one to 25 employees, but larger businesses are welcome to enroll online. To date, MicroMentor has enrolled more than 5,300 mentors and made 5,000 matches, she says.
The free program is supported by various partners, including Sam's Club, Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs, Ashoka Changemakers, Hewlett-Packard, and Google Grants.
Mentees Get Results
Jill Salzman owns The Founding Moms, which she touts as "the world's first and only kid-friendly collective of monthly meet-ups for mom entrepreneurs." When early success indicated it was time to grow, Jill sought some expert advice. Through MicroMentor, she connected with Jim Mills, who had more than 25 years of experience in management and human resources, for companies such as RadioShack and CPI.
Over six months, Mills and Salzman's met weekly to address key issues around franchise expansion. She says their talks enabled The Founding Moms to grow from a few friends in Chicago to an international organization with more than 2,200 members in more than 30 cities.
"Our backgrounds are so different," Salzman says, "but his energy is very complementary to mine. I never want to give him up."
Entrepreneurs typically work with mentors for 14 hours total, although many keep in touch with their mentor for more than a year. The results are impressive: According to a MicroMentor report, participating businesses report an average increase in annual revenues of 106 percent and an 82 percent business survival rate (compared with the national average of 69 percent). What's more, half of the entrepreneurs who receive mentoring create at least one full-time job.
Mentors Hone Leadership Skills
"The vast majority of our mentor volunteers take part because they want to give back," Ramachandran says. "They're looking for a skill-based volunteer opportunity so they can leverage their personal experience and share what they've learned over the years. Most importantly, they want to help others avoid going through the struggles they did."
Sandra Eckland wanted to turn her part-time pet-sitting business, Yappy to Be Home, into a full-time enterprise. Through MicroMentor, Eckland met Rachel Simeone, a former marketing executive who's now an independent coach. They worked closely together to refine Eckland's marketing plan, while also gathering client testimonials, revising the business website, and designing a monthly newsletter.
"When I talked to Sandra, I could tell she was very committed to her business," Simeone says. "It was clear that if I gave her the help she needed, there would be a very positive outcome." Today, Eckland serves 50 clients and is ready to take on more.
Mentors also benefit from the experience. "Their motivations are altruistic," Ramachandran notes, "but being a mentor also enables them to hone their own leadership skills and offers new opportunities for personal growth."

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed infielder Mark Ellis on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain, retroactive to August 15th. Infielder Greg Garcia was recalled from Memphis (AAA) to take his spot on the 25-man roster.
Ellis, 37, had not played since Thursday, August 14 vs. San Diego. The veteran infielder had started four games since Kolten Wong returned from the disabled list on July 6th.
Garcia, 25, played in 103 games in Memphis primarily at second base with games at third base and shortstop. He was batting .275 with 8 home runs and 40 RBI at the time of recall. The left-handed batting infielder was having a strong August batting .367 during the month.
Garcia is making his second appearance in St. Louis, as he appeared in seven games from April 28-May 13, batting .200 (2-10) with an RBI. Garcia was hit by pitch in the 12th inning for a game-ending RBI against Chicago on May 13 before getting optioned back to Memphis.
Brian Walton's take: The press releases usually leave out the less-pleasant news and this one is no exception.
Since Wong's July 6 return was the stake put into the ground, let's dig a bit deeper. In that time, Ellis has the worst batting line on the team among all players with at least 20 plate appearances – in all three measures - .182 average and slugging plus .250 on-base percentage. Of course, it follows that his .432 OPS is also dead last among Cardinals during that period.
For the season, Ellis' line is only slightly better at .192/.267/.228/.495.
Defensively, Ellis is primarily a second baseman and did not look particularly adept in a recent start at first. Though also mainly a second baseman, Garcia can play shortstop and even third base in a pinch.
There is no guarantee that Garcia will be given much of a chance to contribute, especially with his defensive positions and batting side of the plate the same as primary infield reserve Daniel Descalso, but at least he had been hot at Triple-A. The left-handed batter has hit safely in 15 of his last 19 Memphis games at a .353 clip (24-for-68) with three doubles, 10 RBI and 14 runs scored since July 29.
Though now down an infielder, Memphis still has Luis Mateo, Pete Kozma and Jermaine Curtis to play up the middle. Scott Moore remains the starter at third.
Bottom line, there seems no way this move can hurt St. Louis.

Internet2 Announces New Board Members
Internet2 has announced that Indiana University President Michael McRobbie was elected as the sixth chair of the board of trustees and will serve until July 2015. President McRobbie joined the board in 2009 and succeeds University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman, who served as chair for the last year and as a member of the board since 2003.
Also, elected to the board were Eric D. Isaacs, director of Argonne National Laboratory, and Joe Freddoso, president and chief executive officer, MCNC, which is based in Research Triangle Park, NC.
"The Internet2 community will greatly benefit by the experienced leadership of President McRobbie, whose previous contributions to the development of Internet2 were instrumental to its founding and success as the nation's premiere university-driven and university-governed research and education network," said H. David Lambert, president and chief executive officer, Internet2. "I'm also grateful for President Coleman's service to the board for the last nine years and her consistent leadership to establish the significant role Internet2 plays in the research and education community."
Mr. McRobbie became Indiana University's 18th president on July 1, 2007, after joining the university as vice president for information technology in 1997, a role he held until he became president. He also served as interim provost and vice president for academic affairs for IU's Bloomington campus in 2006-2007. Under his leadership, IU's information technology program emerged as a national leader, and the strategic IT plan he initiated is now considered a model for educational institutions across the country. Also, in that capacity, President McRobbie championed Indiana University's role as a founding member of Internet2, and served as an active member of the Internet2 Network Planning and Policy Advisory Council from 2000 – 2005, which was crucial to the ongoing development and management of the Internet2 organization.
Internet2's member-focused board provides strategic direction, leadership and oversight for the organization and greater community. A list of Internet2 board of trustees can be found at http://www.internet2.edu/governance/board.html

Coping with scary movies
"Mama" is the scariest movie I've ever seen.
Well, it's really the only scary movie I've ever seen. Executive producer Guillermo del Toro lured me in, as "Pan's Labyrinth" is one of my very favorite films. Actors Jessica Chastain and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (well, at least his cheekbones) added incentive to dig deep for some courage to get freaked out.
While it may seem natural that the horror film genre would appeal to what may appear to be my edgier tastes, I am really just a quivering baby when it comes to scary stuff, so I use the wussy technique of avoidance to cope.
I have early memories of my aversion to self-inflicted terror. I recall childhood visits to ToysRUs with my mother and brothers in early October. I would excitedly rush through the doors anticipating the Barbie aisle, ignorant of the calendar, only to be faced with a wall covered in gory Halloween masks.
I can still see the orange floor to ceiling corkboard; stabbed with holes for hooks to hang these twisted latex visages. I would instantly recoil in terror at the very sight of the chilling display, body overcome with shivers and face wet with tears. A magnetic force pulled me into my mother's body, using her slight frame to shield me from the visual assault of twisted rubber faces.
The fright lasted for weeks, with me imagining floppy, gooey, dismembered body parts when I would open drawers and closets in what became to me (for a month or so,) my haunted childhood home.
"Mama" brought that all back.
Just as if a horror director set up the scene, I made the mistake of watching the film alone, in a dark, empty house late at night. The typical fog-flooded, spooky music filled scenes that elicit the following types of phrases echoed in my head, "No – handsome hero – don't go in the woods alone on a cold night!" "No – pretty girl in tight sweater – don't go into the rundown, cobweb-covered-abandoned Victorian mansion by yourself without a weapon!"

Fashion repeats itself. As we all know, many of the trends we see today have occured in the past. For instance, the high-waisted pants were popular in the '70s, and cropped tops were popular in the early 2000s. In the past year these items have become trendy once again, but with a modern twist.
High-waisted shorts are flattering to the body and slimming by giving the illusion of a longer body. There is no better way to complement high-waisted shorts than with a cropped top. For instance, this Fashionista paired her dark blue high-waisted shorts with a simple black crop top. The outfit is comfortable and great for summer, and this Fashionista wore a green chiffon cardigan to complete her look. The cardigan is made of light breathable material, which is perfect for the hot summers in Guangzhou. The cardigan has a beautiful print that pulls the outfit together; it is in a dark color to complement her shorts and top.
This Fashionista also wore blue Toms to complement her look. Toms are comfortable shoes that simplify many outfits. As for the accessories, she wore spectacle sunglasses and a large spacious black bag to further complete her look. Spectacle sunglasses are great way to spice up any outfit.
The past consisted of many interesting trends and inventions. It is always fun to see those trends come back and be transformed by current fashion. It is best to keep your old clothes because you never know if they will become trendy again. Who knew your mom's old high-waisted jeans would come back into style?
Captured: I spotted this Fashionista near a shopping mall in Guangzhou, China.

Since early spring, some patients seen at UC San Diego Health System's emergency department have been greeted by an unusual sight: their doctor welcoming them from a TVscreen miles away, transmitted from home, office or on vacation, thanks to the magic of telemedicine.
A few months ago, the health system became the first in California to participate in a pilot study using telemedicine as a way to decrease ED overcrowding.
"Telemedicine has been around for a while, but it's never really been used in an ER setting," said Benjamin Guss, RN, lead nurse on the project. "Our ultimate goal is to decrease wait times and take care of patients in a safe way."
The Reality of ED Overcrowding
Even as more and more hospitals are advertising shorter wait times in their emergency departments, the reality is that ED overcrowding still exists on a large scale.
In fact, according to the most recent report on ED wait times by Press Ganey, average wait times are continuing to increase - pushing up to four hours, seven minutes in 2009.

Hospitals are searching for solutions. Some are working on improving processes, including having doctors see patients first, so that those with more minor conditions who don't need tests can be discharged quickly. Others triage patients with non-emergent issues, then match them with a primary care provider for a follow-up appointment.
Guss's father, David Guss, MD, chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine and the study's principal investigator, saw a different solution - one that involved technology that has more traditionally been used to reach out to rural locations without specialty physician support.
"Working in an emergency department opened around the clock, you never know who may come through the door, so you are constantly faced with the challenge of matching staffing resources with the demands for care," said Dr. Guss. "If the use of a telemedicine evaluation can be shown to be safe and effective, it may shift how care in the emergency department is delivered."
Telemedicine Pilot Study
The project, Emergency Department Telemedicine Initiative to Rapidly Accommodate in Times of Emergency (EDTITRATE), took years of thought and planning, and when it came time to launch,
Dr. Guss's son took up the torch to lead the project from the nursing side. His role is not only to be the lead telemedicine nurse, but to also train other nurses on how to use the technology and how to manage the workflow.
ED nurses play an important role as they are the go-between for the onsite patient and the off-site physician.
Here's how the study works: When the ED grows busy, nurses participating in the study assess the acuity level of patients in the waiting room.
For the purpose of the study parameters, they select patients with less emergent conditions, who typically would experience lengthy wait times.
While the telemedicine project could ultimately see any type of patient, said Guss, influenza, ankle pain, back pain or abdominal pain, cuts and scrapes are just a few examples of the types of problems they've treated.
"The [telemedicine] doctor can do everything you need to do on site, other than physically touch the patient," said Guss.
Residents perform any suturing or specialized exams that may be needed, such as pelvic exams, and the telemedicine doctor also provides a report to an onsite attending after each visit, who meets with the patient to discuss the findings and diagnosis before discharge.
Six ED rooms are dedicated to the project, with one mobile telemedicine unit. When the off-site doctor is paged, the doctor can log in from anywhere with an Internet connection, and the patient is seen within minutes.
The telemedicine unit is equipped with two cameras, including a main camera that the physician or the nurse can control on either end, which zooms in and out and scrolls up and down.
The nurse can also manipulate a handheld camera so that the physician can examine skin or throat problems, for example. Other tools include an audioscope and a stethoscope that transmit images of the inner ear and heart, lung and abdominal sounds to the offsite doctor.
Both doctor and patient can speak to and see one another via the unit; in addition, the doctor can easily go online to view the patient's medical records, including test results and X-rays. Throughout the process, the nurse has a dual advocate role: to be physically there for the needs of the patient; and to be the doctor's onsite eyes, ears and hands.
Speaking of Telemedicine
Questionnaire helps nurses direct phone conversations with patients.
Challenges & Successes
So far, about seven nurses and 10 doctors are involved in the pilot study. The most difficult challenge has been managing the workflow involved on the study side, but overall.
"It's incredible promising," said Ryan Johnson, MSN, RN, ED staff nurse, who says that the technology wasn't difficult to learn. "And the nursing demands are not much different at all from what a nurse would normally do with a regular ED patient."
While the pilot study only sees about five patients at this point during a four-hour period, Guss said there has already been a impact on wait times and provider stress. "It's looking really good," he said (data from the study will be presented in October at a meeting of the American College of Emergency Physicians).
"As an extra nurse on the floor, seeing four patients at a time with telemedicine, it relieves stress in the waiting room, stress on the triage nurse, and the [onsite] doctors basically are not having to see as many patients as they would have."
Earn CE Credit
Higher compliance with trauma care guidelines associated with lower mortality and improved outcomes.
One unexpected benefit has been improvement in nurse-physician communication.
"There's a lot of teaching that goes back and forth [between the nurse and the offsite doctor], and coordination of care," said Johnson. "[As a result], with non-telemedicine patients on normal days, the working rapport with attendings is better than it would be otherwise."
But the biggest benefit, said Guss, has been in patient satisfaction.
"Right now, the scores we've received have been off the charts," he said, adding that some returning ED patients actually ask for telemedicine. Patients not only appreciate the close one-on-one contact with the physician and nurse, but also appreciate how much they can be involved in their own healthcare, since a video screen in the room shows them everything the off-site doctor sees.
"For the first time, they get a really close look at what their throat looks like," said Guss, as an example.
According to Guss, it will take more time and additional studies before they can fully determine how cost-effective and feasible ED telemedicine might be on a broader scale. Plans to grow the project are already in place:
At UC San Diego, they will soon add another telemedicine unit for the health system's second ED in La Jolla. But with early results being overwhelmingly positive, don't be surprised if telemedicine becomes more widely considered as a viable solution for the growing problem of ED overcrowding and wait times.

There's an article in the NYT today covering one of my philosophy of the body hobbyhorses. Dutee Chand, an 18-year old champion sprinter, has been told she must have surgery or start a drug regimen in order to be allowed to compete in official races. The problem? Her body naturally produces more testosterone than usual, and administrators worry it gives her an unfair advantage: Arne Ljungqvist, the longtime chairman of the I.O.C.'s medical commission, said a hyperandrogenism policy was nece … [Read more...]

Debunking the NYT's Numbers on Contraception
You may have seen the New York Times's much shared infographic on contraception failure rates, and I'm here -- statistics cop badge in hand -- to tell you that it ain't necessarily so. There are some huge methodological flaws in the way that the NYT chose to model the risk of unplanned pregnancy over ten years, and I'm explaining just how badly they went wrong at The American Conservative. The NYT generated these graphs by looking only at failure rates for contraception over one year, and then … [Read more...]
"Just Treating Symptoms" can be a great approach
In a review of Thrive: The Power of Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies, Jenny Diski is suspicious of CBT as a form of therapy. She's concerned that it's focused on managing symptoms of distress, rather than causes, and that, ultimately, it's more focused on making mental illness bearable for bystanders than for the person who is ill. She writes: CBT fulfils the authors' admirable desire for an improvement in mental health provision. It takes at most 20 sessions, often far fewer; it is so s … [Read more...]
Designing Emotional Contraception
Over at The American Conservative, I'm discussing a bioethicist who's done a literature review to find anti-love drugs. He's not discussing science fiction, but drugs that currently exist which could have the side effects of suppressing lust, attraction, and/or attachment if prescribed off label (anti-depressants are high on the list). His ethics questions are mostly focused on the level of the individual, but I've got concerns about how they'd shift societal expectations about responsibility a … [Read more...]
The Stories We Tell About Illness
Sarah Sparks has a really excellent post today at First Things about the interactions (good and bad) between theology and therapy. As an Orthodox Christian and a recovering bulimic, Sarah has has to do a lot of translating between the sacred and the secular, since the treatment of sin, fasting, and self-control are very different in each of the two worlds she moves in.

When Moral Hazard is the Safest Course
Patheos blogger Thomas McDonald of God and the Machine is horrified by the FDA's recommendation to approve Truvada (an antiretroviral cocktail) as preventative treatment for HIV. When people use the prophylactic regime, their chances of contracting HIV are reduced by 50-75%. As far as I can tell, these are the 'actual use' numbers. With perfect use, the chance of infection goes down to pretty much zero. This is why, in affluent countries with good health care services, there's virtually no ch … [Read more...]

US shutdown
Fund managers are bracing for a volatile week on the local bourse as the United States risks a default on its debt without a resolution from Congress to extend the debt ceiling.
The loss of optimism as talks stumbled over the weekend could hurt global equities and lead to further increases in US Treasury yields, which are at the highest level in three weeks at 2.69 per cent.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index is poised to rise 0.6 per cent when Australian shares reopen on Monday after closing at 5230.9 points on Friday. Wall Street finished the week higher and the Dow Jones added 0.7 per cent alongside a 0.6 per cent gain for the S&P 500 Index.
However, those gains preceded reports from Washington that promising talks had broken down between House Republicans and Democrats. US Treasury will breach the $US16.7 trillion ($17.6 trillion) debt ceiling on October 17, or Thursday Washington time, when it will have just $US30 billion in funds on hand, according to internal estimates.
"This is the point it can become very real and the major politicians are enjoying the [opportunity] to make themselves important and elevating the discussion, but business wants to get on doing business and doesn't need politicians creating a distraction or an event which is normally not priced in. It's a completely avoidable event."
What began as an impasse around the passing of a spending bill which forced the shutdown of the US government for almost a fortnight has snowballed into fraught fiscal policy discussions and demands for concessions.
"It's just beyond me why they want to create the brinkmanship that they do, but that's American politics of the new order," said Mr Harding, likening the situation to Australia's hung parliament and the improvement in sentiment that came with its termination. "You have to build that into expectations."
$A to benefit from stalemate
The Australian dollar was buying US94.66¢, having climbed as high as US94.87¢ in Friday's trading session. The currency stands to benefit from the ongoing stalemate, which builds a case for further stimulus from the US Federal Reserve.
Ausbil Dexia chief economist,
Unlike in 2011, when Standard & Poor's stripped the US of its triple-A credit rating in similar circumstances, the mood towards financial markets is more sympathetic this time, which suggests a genuine intent to find a solution.
"The previous time around when S&P downgraded, the bond-holders were treated in a cavalier manner," Mr Honan said. "There was a willingness to hang bond-holders out to dry on that occasion. On this occasion it hasn't been the case; the public statements have been more circumspect from the House Speaker, [who] says the US is not going to default."
Mr Honan said that market thinking still indicated the US would avert default, even though traders were alert to the risk and "we all want it to settle sooner rather than later".
"We could do without some of this . . . The quicker this ends, the quicker it recovers. If the issue drags on, consumer confidence absolutely gets hit and you're leading into the pre-Christmas period, post-Halloween, that's a big market. The economy was certainly picking up and if consumer confidence continues to be an issue, which it now is, that's a problem."
Even though the US has already lost its sovereign triple-A rating with S&P, a similar downgrade to double-A from Moody's this time around could still have "serious" consequences, Mr Honan said.
"There are quite serious ramifications from losing the triple-A. There's a real risk of that happening at some point in the foreseeable future."
Domestic, global cues continue
US corporate earnings continue this week, following the release of JPMorgan's results on Friday, which confirmed a loss of $US0.4 billion because of litigation and penalties.
Citigroup, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs are scheduled to report third-quarter earnings in the coming days.
Domestic cues will come from August housing finance data due on Monday, the Reserve Bank of Australia's minutes from its October meeting, due on Tuesday, and NAB business confidence on Thursday.
The RBA left rates unchanged this month, adding to speculation that it has exhausted its intention to cut rates further. If surveys such as NAB's show a sustainable improvement in confidence following the change in government, the central bank will be even less inclined to drop the cash rate below the historic low 2.5 per cent where rates currently sit.
At the weekend, China released fresh trade data that showed exports unexpectedly shrank in the world's second-biggest economy. Economists forecast an increase in exports, however official data showed they dropped 0.3 per cent in September.
China's economic data has been consistently strong over the last few months, including purchasing managers' index surveys and construction data that have affirmed a recovery in China and supported improved commodity prices.
Inflation has been under control in the Chinese economy, which keeps stimulus options open to policy-makers if needed. Fresh data due on Friday regarding investment, retail sales and economic growth should provide a clearer picture for investors.

A 14-YEAR-OLD girl who was 'romantically involved' with an older girl was caught on CCTV bullying her partner.
Blackburn magistrates heard the victim was 17 at the time and refused to make a statement to police. She had turned 18 and was now banned from having any contact with the juvenile.
The 14-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to assaulting the other girl. She was made subject to a youth referral order for 10 months.
Passing sentence district judge James Clarke said it was a clear case of bullying.
"It follows hot on the heels of a conviction for assault and was against someone you cared for and who cared for you," he said. "I am sure you don't want to go through life labelled as a bully."
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said CCTV on Blackburn station showed the girls in the waiting room. The 14-year-old forced the other girl onto a chair. She tried to leave but was made to stand against a wall.
