For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this tepid Woody Allen comedy tackles mature themes like threesomes, homosexual relationships, and infidelity, though there's little actual nudity or explicit sexual content. The main character tries to commit suicide (played lightly) but isn't successful. The language tends toward the insulting at times, but it isn't overly coarse; expect a little bit of drinking and smoking as well. The humor will most likely appeal to grown-ups or precocious older teens -- don't expect this to be on many kids' must-see list.
- Sexual Content
- Actual scenes are fairly chaste, but scenarios arenâ¿¿t: A conservative married woman arrives in New York and transforms herself into an artist involved in a happy threesome (three people are shown under covers, but no body parts are revealed). Her estranged husband takes up with a man. Another married character cheats on her husband. Open discussions about sex. Some suggestive photographs are shown.
- Violence
- Heated arguments, with yelling. A man jumps out of a window, and, on his second attempt, lands on a person.
- Language
- Insults aplenty, such as â¿¿stupid,â¿ â¿¿cracker,â¿ and â¿¿imbecile.â¿ Also â¿¿goddamn.â¿
- Social Behavior
- Despite the fact that the movie deals with subjects like infidelity, a dismal worldview, and even suicide attempts, thereâ¿¿s also a lot of hope and humor.
- Consumerism
- Pellegrino labels.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Some drinking at a bar; a little bit of smoking.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Obviously that's very much dependent on where you are – if there's a stronger O2 3G signal in the area, you'll get faster speeds.Pricing varies depending on which option you go for. If you opt for pay-as-you-go, you can pay £2.04 per day for 200MB of data access. Alternatively, you can get 1GB or 2GB data for the month for £10.21 or £15.32, depending on the option you choose. O2 will also double your data allowance on your first and every third top-up, which is a nice bonus.Both options still require you to purchase the device, which retails for £59.99.

Chapter 3: At Home -- Tuesday Noon
Thomas had a simple lunch ready when Mary came home. They were both pleased that their campus jobs enabled them to eat lunch together several days each week. But when Mary saw Thomas she knew the conversation with the chaplain had not gone well. Thomas would need to de-brief with her, as they liked to call it. As soon as he had said grace, she asked him to tell her what Chaplain Levovsky had said.
"She told me how she became a Christian," Thomas replied. "I was really moved by her story. I like her more than ever."
"But you dont seem very happy about it! What did she say about the deity of Jesus?"
"Well, she didnt say so in so many words, but the truth is she doesnt believe in it at all. What I thought I heard her saying in those sermons is what she really means! She wants to free us from all the traditional beliefs."
It was Marys turn to be shocked, really shocked. "But how could she be ordained to preach if she doesnt believe the churchs teaching? And how could the seminary approve her as your supervisor for this intern year? You must have misunderstood her."
"No," Thomas said sadly. "Im quite sure I didnt misunderstand. She went to the most liberal seminary of our denomination. And I realize now that some of what I have read and heard in my seminary is more like what she said than I had taken in before. Ive just been assuming that everybody really believed the way I did and ignoring the threatening ideas. Chaplain Levovsky states them so directly I cant ignore them."
Thomass reply was far from reassuring. To Mary what it meant to be Christian was quite clear. It involved a certain way of life and definite beliefs. On unimportant matters Christians could argue if they chose, but on essentials there must be full agreement. Otherwise how could they worship and work together? She did not go around hunting for heresy. Far from it. To all who called themselves Christian she attributed the beliefs that went with being Christian. But here was Thomas reporting that a respected pastor did not accept the core beliefs of the Christian faith. And worse yet, Mary feared, Thomas himself seemed shaken! A chaplain-supervisor had no business undermining the faith of interns.
"Youre in a difficult position, honey. But you will let the seminary officials know, wont you? They wont want their students supervised by a chaplain who is not a believer. If its really as you say, I hope you can get reassigned quickly."
Thomas suddenly regretted having told Mary what the chaplain had said, or at least of having put it so strongly. Mary was so decisive! That was part of what he liked about her. He often found it hard to make decisions himself, and he needed her clarity -- the way she came to the point at once. Without her he doubted he could have ever finally decided for the ministry. She hadnt pushed him. She had just listened to him and helped him see that that was what he felt called to do. Once he was clear about that, she helped him brush aside all objections and quickly apply to seminary.
But this time she was moving ahead of him and in a direction he dreaded. She was assuming that he believed just as she did. Why shouldnt she? He had shared a lot of what he learned in seminary, but not in a way that would let her know what was really happening to him. That was partly because he wasnt sure himself, and it was hard to put into words. But it was also because he knew it would upset her.
What was happening? Looking back he could just begin to describe it to himself. The study of the Bible and the history of the church made everything about Christianity seem less fixed. For example, he still believed in the Virgin Birth, but when his New Testament professor pointed out that the genealogies in both Matthew and Luke seemed to assume that Jesus descent was through Joseph and that the doctrine of Marys virginity played no role in Pauls letters, he found it harder to suppose that this belief was essential to Christianity. He had come to accept the idea that Jesus divinity was not dependent on Marys virginity, although he himself continued to affirm the Virgin Birth. But he had not told Mary of his changing attitude. After all, he had not changed his own belief; so there had not seemed to be anything to tell.
He saw now that this softening process had gone farther than he had realized. It had become harder and harder to draw clear boundaries. Confronted by Chaplain Levovskys story, he was confused. Could that, too, be Christian? Part of him wanted to say, "Yes!" But Mary didnt share that part of him and would not understand it -- at least not right away.
"I dont know what to do, darling," Thomas finally said. "I dont feel right about reporting officially what she told me in private. And I am confused. Maybe there is room in the church for people like her. Ive found a number of students here who respond well to her and say theyve never been able to make sense of Christianity before. At least its a place to start -- a point of contact."
"How could the denial of Jesus deity be a point of contact for the gospel?" Mary replied sharply. To her this made no sense at all. But she saw that he was not ready to act and that it would do no good to push him. "Why dont you talk it over with Chan-Hie?"
Chan-Hie Park was the other intern working with Chaplain Levovsky that year. He came from another seminary, he was single, and he had a quite different role on campus, working especially with international students. Mary and Thomas were not yet well acquainted with him, but they respected what they had seen of his work. Thomas thought Marys advice was good.

Boise • It was a winnable game. At the end, however, lack of free-throw shooting and execution cost Utah against Boise State.
The Broncos win this one 69-67 and go to 7-0 for the first time in their history. Utah had a small lead down the stretch and had multiple chances to pull even and ahead and couldn't do it.
Jordan Loveridge missed a halfcourt shot at the buzzer, which sealed it.
Loveridge finished with 19 points. Delon Wright had 15. Utah falls to 6-1 on the season.

If it doesn't come out today u all better go to sleep tonight or it won't come at all. And be good little boys and girls!
it's been awhile since I've been on this site, but as with any forum, I should have known there would be a lot of complaining about something.
I wouldn't be surprised, if all the people saying "ermahgerd!!! the jailbreak they said it might be done Sunday but its not and they're just trying to get my money", actually caused them to just flat out not release it.
you do realize they are doing a service for free, right? jail breaking is not an easy process and I'm sure hey didn't get it done on a lunch break. they deserve donations for being so kind as to even release it. they could just as easily create it, test it, and keep it for themselves.
if you don't feel like waiting, create your own. these are the same people that rush a release and then complain when it doesn't work properly. reminds me why I don't even read through the forums usually.
anyway, to be on topic, I'm very excited for this. I've been very unhappy with apple, iTunes, and my iPhone but being that I'm stuck in a contract, at least this will allow me to make my phone a little more entertaining for the duration of the contract. keep up the good work devs, you'll be getting a donation from me as well

LONDON – London Mayor Boris Johnson on Monday issued a warning to Spain over Gibraltar after Madrid vowed to defend its interests in the British outpost.
The Conservative mayor urged the government to "prize Spanish hands off the throat of our colony" after it increased border checks in retaliation for the building of an artificial reef in disputed waters.
Britain last week said it was sending a force of warships to Gibraltar on its way to naval exercises in the Mediterranean, while Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said his country will take "all necessary measures" to defend its interests.
Spain has mooted a €50 ($66) toll to enter or leave Gibraltar, saying proceeds will be used to help fishermen who have suffered from the creation of an artificial reef by the British outpost.
Johnson compared Spain's claims to Gibraltar to those of Argentina to the Falkland Islands, saying they were both being used to divert attention away from domestic problems.
Spain ceded Gibraltar to Britain in perpetuity in 1713 but has long argued that it should be returned to Spanish sovereignty. London says it will not do so against the wishes of Gibraltarians, who are staunchly pro-British.


text: Hi, I have an very clever aplication, who can dinamicaly distribute the load across the nodes allocated to run a job. If one node dies in the middle of the computation, the application can go on on the other nodes, and other process can get the unfinished process of the dead node to complete the process. This application is writen in Fortran and we are using MPICH. The application dosen't have the need to comunicate, the processes dosen't share data, so the processes are very independent. We use mpiexec to start the process in Torque, and i can remove the "-kill" parameter and the processes in the nodes will keep going, but the default behavior of PBS/Torque is kill the job when a node dies. Can i change this behavior? If there's no way to do tha with some kind of configuration, can someone point me in the code where i can work on this?

It's best not to think of 'Decas' as being a new As I Lay Dying album. Indeed, there are only three new As I Lay Dying tracks on this record, released to coincide with the San Diego metalcore band's tenth anniversary. Additionally, there's a re-recorded medley of 'Beneath the Encasing,' four cover songs that pay homage to bands that have influenced As I Lay Dying and four remixes of their songs.
Opening track 'Paralyzed' is indicative of the style As I Lay Dying have been flirting with in recent years - a mixture of angry metalcore and a melodic chorus with clean guitars. The next song, 'From Shapeless to Breakable', is significantly heavier and is a nod to the less commercial music they've produced in the past but then they return to the light side with their final new song, 'Moving Forward.' Some of the covers aren't particularly unexpected and all stick fairly close to their source material, with only Tim Lambesis' distinctive vocals injecting a bit of As I Lay Dying personality into them. So Slayer's 'War Ensemble' sounds exactly how you'd imaging As I Lay Dying covering Slayer to sound like. They also tackle 'Hellion' and 'Electric Eye' - which is basically one song - by Judas Priest and again, stick close to the original and handle it competently enough. While those three songs (or two, depending on your opinion) are pretty obvious picks for a metalcore band, I admit that their final cover song made me smile with its cheekiness. I really wasn't expecting them to take on the 34-second blast of awesomeness that is the Descendents' 'Coffee Mug'. I'm not denying that the Descendents were a pronounced influence on the band but it does stand out in stark contrast to all the other tracks on 'Decas'. Again, it's a straight cover, with the exception of Lambesis' vocals being significantly growlier than Milo Aukerman's. The remixes on offer here are much more varied. Innerpartysystem – who can pretty much turn their hand to anything, having remixed for the likes of Katy Perry and Thursday – transform 'The Blinding of False Light' into a whirry, squelchy robot of a song. The Dillinger Escape Plan's Benjamin Weinman obliterates 'Wrath Upon Ourselves' in a blast of digital hardcore (bordering on sheer noise) while Kelly "Carnage" Cairns turns in the most subtle of remixes, keeping the core of 'Confined' intact amid some electronic flourishes. The final track on the album is also the best remix; Big Chocolate's take on 'Elegy', which sees As I Lay Dying go a bit drum 'n' bass. So a mixed bag of an album but these types of records, by their very nature, are.

During the usual pregame glitz and pomp, the Bell Centre roared like mad for the lushly mustachioed, nasty-looking galoot.
Standing at centre ice, George Parros obliged by waving and flashing a confident sneer – it was a nice bit of theatre, and the fans ate it up.
They always do, because at bottom they love the idea of the two-fisted avenger, whether his name is Parros, or Laraque, or Kordic; perhaps that's why the NHL continues to tolerate designated sluggers – an arena full of hockey fans will reliably stand and applaud every time two large men drop the gloves.
And so they cheered when Parros fought Toronto Maple Leafs counterpart Colton Orr in the second period last Tuesday, and at the points where various other skirmishes broke out.
Blame group psychology or herd instinct or blood lust, there's also a measure of hypocrisy at work here.
Parros has been a fan favourite wherever he's played, and the Bell Centre loved every second of what he brought to the game – until it was confronted with the brutal, hard-to-watch consequences of Parros being carted off on a stretcher.
Then, there was uneasy silence.
Still, the show must go on, within 15 or 20 minutes, the place was rocking again.
Looking at a crowd in Montreal, or any other NHL city, there is plainly a market for fighting, the league is merely giving the punters what they want (and what the players want, too, a 2011 survey asking whether fighting should be removed reported 98 per cent of them voted 'No;' a straw poll in the Habs room on Tuesday night suggested little has changed).
That isn't to say voices aren't being raised in the league – important, loud voices – to ask whether it's a good idea to continue to accept fighting, which is technically against the rules.
Hall of Fame player Steve Yzerman, now general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Pittsburgh Penguins GM Ray Shero and legendary former coach Scotty Bowman joined the chorus on Wednesday, as did Carolina Hurricanes GM/minority owner Jim Rutherford.
"I'm not going to suggest this is the time to try and eliminate fighting completely, but we have to find ways to lower the number of them significantly … we've seen any number of great games that don't have any fighting," he said in an interview. "We have a great game, but we have to protect the players who play it."
Given the strongly camped positions on the fighting debate and the exigencies of the sport's culture, there's little to be gained in the short term in pushing for an outright ban – or so goes Rutherford's logic.
Shero and Yzerman called for stiffer penalties, such as the expulsion of players who fight, in interviews with TSN.
"We're stuck in the middle and need to decide what kind of sport we want to be. Either anything goes and we accept the consequences, or take the next step and eliminate fighting," said Yzerman, who will presumably raise his concerns at the next meeting of the league GMs in November.
Bowman, a Chicago Blackhawks senior adviser who remains an eminence in the sport, tweeted his support for Yzerman, Shero and Rutherford's position, and said: "Poll all players."
The Parros incident has also caught the notice of the medical community, and of one particular physician, Michael Stuart from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
Stuart was watching his son, Mark, play defence for the Winnipeg Jets the same night and caught replays of the injury, which came a week before a concussion summit to be co-directed by Stuart, USA Hockey's chief medical officer.
"It does bring to the forefront the risk of fighting, especially fighting while on ice when helmets come off. Our biggest fear is someone will lose their balance … we know in the U.S. we have people who have died from hitting their heads on the ice," Stuart said.
The upcoming summit's objective is to develop a better understanding of head trauma and identify new treatments through basic science – such as the use of 3D magnetic resonance imaging to look for structural changes in the brains of concussion sufferers, and whether some people have a genetic predisposition to brain injuries.
It's not yet known what the Princeton University-educated Parros makes of all this (it should be said he has repeatedly and enthusiastically proclaimed he has no qualms about his role and station in life).
The 33-year-old was released from hospital early Wednesday, and is at home recovering from a concussion, the Habs said he didn't suffer any other major facial injuries. He will be out of action indefinitely, but was well enough to take to Twitter and thank his well-wishers.
Habs fans will have to wait a while to see him again, it's a safe bet others will stand in for him – even as head coach Michel Therrien and his players try to shift the emphasis to wins and losses.
After all, even the hockey fans who like a good scrap prefer to see their team win.
Indeed, Rutherford pooh-poohed the idea fans demand fisticuffs at hockey games, saying: "If there weren't any fights [Tuesday], I doubt anyone would have left the Bell Centre disappointed."
And if there are people like that, Rutherford said "maybe they should go watch boxing, or wrestling, or whatever."
It's true the loudest moments of the night came when the Habs' Lars Eller scored the game's opening goal in the first period, and when he tallied a second time late in the game to bring Montreal to within a goal.
The league brass in attendance will doubtless have noticed. It's an open question as to whether it matters.

Saturday Night At The Liberal Curmudgeon: The Jayhawks
At Ocean Way Studios, Hollywood, The Jayhawks performed "She Walks In So Many Ways," whose lyrics remind me of Bob Dylan's "She Belongs To Me" (the Grateful Dead's cover of the latter was shown here in March 2010).

WANDERERS are locked in talks with Aston Villa to ensure that Stephen Warnock will not be playing his final game for the club this weekend.
The full-back faces a demoralising return to Villa Park after Saturday's visit to Peterborough United unless a deal can be struck to extend the emergency loan he signed in September.
Warnock has been a big hit at the Reebok but has been told in no uncertain terms by Paul Lambert that he has no future back in the Midlands, with the club already well-stocked in the left back department.
Eric Lichaj, Joe Bennett and Enda Stevens are all ahead of him in the Premier League pecking order, which would most likely mean a return to training with the reserves, which is the situation he found himself in before his arrival in the North West. Efforts by Villa to attract a buyer for £2million in January have thus far proved fruitless, and with just six months remaining on his contract, Lambert may be willing to cut his losses entirely.
Wanderers have already ruled out a purchase but would be willing to extend their loan, potentially for a greater share of the player's wages, until the end of the season.
Villa are no longer under pressure from owner Randy Lerner to curb their wage bill, having trimmed the likes of Alan Hutton, James Collins, Carlos Cuellar and Habib Beye in the last four months and brought through a crop of younger talent.
Warnock has made 14 appearances and missed only one game, against Ipswich Town, when he was replaced by the club's only other out-and-out left-back, Marcos Alonso.
He also passed the 350 career appearance mark against Huddersfield Town on December 8.

The Detroit Lions finished last in total defense and last in pass defense in 2009, so upgrading their personnel seems a given.
But are they willing to roll the dice in the process?
The Lions have been linked to the San Diego Chargers in trade talks for former all-pro CB Antonio Cromartie, who led the NFL with 10 INTs in 2007 but only has five since. Given his recent squabbles with the Chargers and some off-field concerns -- not to mention the possible asking price of RB Maurice Morris and draft picks -- the prospective Cromartie deal may have already fallen apart.
NFL.com says Detroit could also take a look at Adam "Pacman" Jones. The troubled player was not on an NFL roster in 2009, but his best years came in Tennessee when current Lions coach Jim Schwartz was the defensive coordinator. -- Nate Davis
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Scott McFarland: Seasonal Effects
The work of Scott McFarland projects a distinctive sense of the uncanny. The preternaturally crisp detail and eerie sense of déjà vu suggest a diorama more than a photograph. Like a curio cabinet, each image holds a kind of collection: flashes of steam, protuberant buds, hoarfrost and other phenomena that we think of as temporary (and, in some cases, mutually exclusive). But this world offers up distinctly self-contradictory manifestations of nature: dark skies over sun-dappled fields, oddly splayed shadows and a few nonchalant human clones.
At the Vancouver Art Gallery's current solo retrospective of McFarland's work, the didactic panels and accompanying texts explain the artist's process and steer viewers to look for clues to his intentions, some of which are more obvious than others. McFarland's unlikely vistas are produced by a lengthy, meticulous process of shooting and reshooting at the same site over a period of months or years, followed by an extensive curatorial process involving computer-assisted manipulation. Scudding clouds, blossoms and decay are mixed and matched—digitally overlaid or transposed from one shot to another. This injects the element of time into what first appears, at a casual glance, to be a static scene.
The result is a photographic, epic fiction bursting with embodied meanings. To cite one example, McFarland's Orchard View with the Effects of the Seasons follows a large residential lot in Vancouver's tony west side, one which is left fallow while the future owner-developers plot its transformation. In all sorts of seasonally incongruous states of bloom, the sad-sack vegetation suggests a botanical counter-narrative to the cold economics that will be its destroyer.
Along with landscape, McFarland's art is heavily focused on architecture. The London Zoo's curvilinear penguin pool, a 1934 modernist masterpiece designed by Berthold Lubetkin, is notoriously hard to photograph; McFarland's two digitally manipulated interpretations not only manage to fit the entire structure into one image, but also suggest some of the enigmatic complexity of this unjustly forgotten architect. On a more vernacular level, two large-format pieces from the Nocturnes series seem to condense the entire world into one small illuminated interior against the dark of night. Sugar Shack and Boathouse with Moonlight both evoke an agnostic's version of a modern-day crèche: humble and familiar, yet also luminous and ethereal. (750 Hornby St, Vancouver BC)

But asked by The Australian Financial Review in an exclusive interview what tax issues keep him awake at night, D'Ascenzo cautiously says he is concerned about the long-term sustainability of the tax system.
"Questions of whether or not the current framework for taxes is producing the amount of taxes that the country needs to go forward – it's not my issue, it's a policy issue, but from a professional perspective it does concern me," D'Ascenzo says.
His admission that he foresees long-term issues for policymakers in ensuring the tax system collects enough revenue is a warning to Treasurer
D'Ascenzo's concern is caused by the increasing mobility of global capital and tricky financial engineers who shift income and assets around the world. Funds can be funnelled through tax secrecy jurisdictions and tax havens.
"The financial engineering is now much more sophisticated," D'Ascenzo says. "You can change the character of certain things, through financial hybrids and derivatives."
Financial instruments are disguised as debt or equity, or both, allowing companies to arbitrage the different debt-equity tax laws in various countries and get the most attractive tax treatment.
Companies can hedge a particular side of a position in one country (untaxed) while leaving the exposure in another to create a tax deduction when overall there has been no loss to the global business.
Other variants involve foreign-based multinationals restructuring existing Australian-based businesses and regearing them at higher interest rates to generate tax benefits from deductions on interest payments.
D'Ascenzo took a particularly strong interest in outgoing Treasury secretary
"To be sustainable, the tax system, together with the transfer system, must contribute to a fair and equitable society," the Henry report says.
"Sustainability also means that the structural features of the system should be durable in a changing policy context, yet flexible enough to allow governments to respond as required. Legal and administrative institutions and frameworks should also be robust to maintain the effectiveness of the system and underpin the legitimacy of the system."
The Henry review also predicts that global capital will become even more mobile in the future, as globalisation continues.
"Behind that is a questioning of the policy parameters and what's going to be sustainable in the future," D'Ascenzo says.
While the tax commissioner's concern about the sustainability of the tax system arises from professional interest, he also has strong personal beliefs.
"I think people deep down in Australia understand that we're not going to have the sort of society we have – with the schools, roads and safety net – without someone having to chip in," he says.
"It's to get that higher up into the psyche is what I'm trying to do.
"I see it where I make a comparison with other countries, where they don't have the infrastructure that we enjoy here.
"They don't have what we take for granted in terms of police being there to protect you if you're getting bashed, because they can't afford to have them."
It partly explains why the tax commissioner is sometimes sensitive to criticism from people such as actor
D'Ascenzo says it's vital the community has confidence in the ATO to ensure strong voluntary compliance.
"I can say that until I'm blue and black in the face, and some people will pick it up. But I think they will pick up that one-liner in the media and that will then reinforce the stereotypes.
"I'm sensitive about this because our strategic statements try to position ourselves so the community sees us as serving the community in accordance with the law.
"If that's the way the community sees us and that's the way we see ourselves, then it does provide a level of cultural change and I think that will translate into people who need help coming forward . . . and people who are crooks not hiding behind the people they're actually screwing."
Despite concerns about the long-term sustainability of the tax system, D'Ascenzo thinks Australia is better placed thanks to a weapon at his disposal that most overseas tax authorities do not have.
The Part IVA general anti-avoidance provisions allow the ATO to prosecute taxpayers for setting up schemes that are designed predominantly to obtain a tax benefit. Even if the structure of a scheme falls within the boundaries of tax laws, the anti-avoidance rules can be applied.
D'Ascenzo believes the rules largely explain why the amount of tax paid by companies as a proportion of gross domestic product is higher in Australia than in most other countries.
Indeed, direct tax paid by companies is about 5.5 per cent of GDP, higher than OECD countries such as New Zealand, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom and United States. D'Ascenzo says this is despite the corporate statutory rate being around the middle band of OECD economies.
"How can you be the top in the tax take and in the middle in terms of rates?" he asks.
"Someone else overseas isn't paying their company tax or their policy parameters are allowing people not to pay their company tax. Part of it may well be imputation, but that's only for Australian-owned companies."
Full dividend imputation, which only exists in Australia and New Zealand, gives incentive for local companies to pay tax, because shareholders value franked dividends.
D'Ascenzo says a larger tax-avoidance deterrent is the general anti-avoidance rules.
Overall, the commissioner, whose seven-year term expires in 2013, is content in the job.
"There are few days there where I feel like Gary Cooper in High Noon," he says, referring to the sheriff in the 1952 American western whose community didn't back him against a gang of killers. Though there are times when that occurs.
"Other times I come back and see so many people, both inside and outside the organisation, who do the right thing. That gives you a lot of resilience.
"If you're not an optimist, this is not the role for you."

I'm not bothered by the photo by freelance photographer R. Umar Abbasi of a man about to die in a New York subway. Abbasi is being criticized for being everything from a Godless man who enjoyed the opportunity to make money off his photos of the death to a coward for not having made an attempt to save the doomed man.
He doesn't deserve such criticism by readers. Only his peers can participate in the discussion about shooting first or helping first.
Take the case of photographers Horst Faas and Michel Laurent in Bangladesh.
Their photos of the brutal execution of men suspected of being spies earned them similar condemnation as they took a shared Pulitzer Prize for the shocking series of violent photos.
Faas said he and Laurent left as they killing continued fearing they were the reason it was such a public display of civil justice. They later returned to see it had not ended with more men involved on both sides.
Visit the Newseum to hear Faas discuss photographing such difficult events.
It is never easy. I've watched people die. Shot over the casket at the funerals of children who died at the hands of a murderer. Stood on a piece of plywood at a plane crash that was used to cover the collection of body parts. Sneaked through woods to shoot a deadly crime scene. Wished I had a more clear view of the body for a better photo.
At the same time, I have edited photos when I knew some of the selections would never make the wire because of sexual, violent or grisly content.
I have a very large collection of photos saved from my days as a wire service photographer. The folders are labeled "Sex, Violence, and Stupidity."
Eddie Adams was haunted by the impact of his Saigon execution photo as was the shooter and this nation.
Criticism of what's uncomfortable will always exist. The need to ignore the discomfort and tell the story will always exist.
Without it, we are less human.
Editors Note: I'm adding a link to the story about the impact of AP photographer Julie Jacobson's dramatic and frightening photo of an American soldier dying in battle in Afghanistan.

ACTT Workshop: Minnesota
June 14-16, 2004, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Appendix B: Skill Set Descriptions
Right-of-Way and Utilities
Right-of-way, utilities, and railroad delays have a serious impact on accelerated operations. More innovative solutions are required for both short- and long-term sensitive construction projects.
Right-of-way considerations include:
- State laws and procedures covering acquisition and relocation.
- Numbers and types of businesses and residences that may be affected.
- Availability of additional right-of-way.
- Number of outdoor advertising structures in the project area.
Utility considerations include:
- Industry responsiveness.
- Incentive-based agreements.
- Corridor approaches to utility agreements.
- Contracting utility work.
- Non-destructive methods for utility relocations.
When applicable, railroad coordination is essential to a project for construction access or work affecting the railroad's lines.
Accelerating the construction of structures (such as bridges, retaining walls, and culverts) will require deviation from the standard practices for their design and construction and will include early coordination between the designers and contractors. A system approach from the "ground up" will be necessary instead of emphasis on individual components.
Some of the systems and concepts that are proven to contribute to accelerated construction are:
- Prefabrication.
- Preassembly.
- Incremental launching.
- Life-in.
- Roll-in.
These should be understood and receive priority consideration.
Designers have several options in structure types and materials to meet design requirements, but identifying the most accommodating system while minimizing adverse project impacts should be the objective.
Accelerated construction may press the contractor to deliver a quality product in a condensed time frame and area while maintaining traffic. Completion milestones as well as the maintenance and protection of traffic are key elements visible to the traveling public. Allowing contractors to have input on design elements that would affect time or quality during construction can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the overall project completion. Using automation to enhance construction equipment performance; construction engineering and surveying; data collection and documentation; and contract administration should be explored and implemented.
Innovative Contracting
Innovative contracting includes exploring the state-of-art in contracting practices and obtaining a better knowledge of how these techniques could be selected, organized, and assembled to match the project's needs. Techniques to be considered include:
- Performance related specifications.
- Warranties.
- Design/build.
- Maintain.
- Operate.
- Cost + time.
- Partnering escalation agreements.
- Lane rental.
- Incentives/disincentives.
- Value engineering.
Any other innovative contracting techniques that would apply to the project should also be considered.
Subsurface conditions and issues should be explored to assess their impacts on the project. Based on the geography of the project, subsurface investigation may be complicated by traffic volume, environmental hazards, utilities, railroad property, and right-of-way. Options should be pursued to expedite and facilitate turnaround times in material testing for material acceptance and contractor payment. Furthermore, the use of innovative materials should be explored and encouraged on projects to maximize the creative characteristics of the designer and contractor. By identifying project performance goals and objectives, the designer and contractor have the maximum freedom to determine the appropriate methodology for constructing the project.
Traffic/ITS/Safety/Public Relations
The vast majority of our nation's highway projects involve reconstructing existing facilities. Enhanced safety and improved traffic management along the project corridor is desired during and after construction. Evaluating both the construction and maintenance work on a corridor-by-corridor basis may help assess traffic and safety issues more fully then the conventional project-by-project approach. Developing and evaluating specific ideas should identify the need for incentives to enhance safety and improve traffic flow during and after construction.
Effective communication is vital to the success of any project. During construction, providing better information to the traveling public and politicians on the relationships among crashes, delays, mobility, total traffic volume, truck traffic volumes, and the need for lane closures is important. Implementing integrated ITS systems to communicate construction information to motorists via radio, Internet, and wireless alerts, as well as using incident management systems/services, is very effective and should be considered.
Partnering with local entities to inform communities and the traveling public about construction activities and traffic disruptions is needed to successfully manage construction impacts and avoid adverse socioeconomic impacts.
A project's scope-of-work and construction activities need to reflect environmental concerns to ensure the most accommodating and cost effective product while minimizing natural and socioeconomic impacts.

Although Ishen has a roof over her head and is able to go to school, she is one of the 3.6 million British children living in poverty. To her, poverty means seeing her mother struggle to make ends meet, being unable to go on school trips and feeling excluded by her peers because she is not wearing fashionable clothes and has no money to spend on outings.
Ishen's father left when she was a young child and her mother suffers from osteoarthritis and is too sick to work. While income support from the government allows covers her basic needs, Ishen lives without many of the things that her friends take for granted: she has no washing machine at home and she and her mother often have to think very carefully about meals.
When Ishen's school uniform gets old and shabby, she knows that her mother will find it very difficult to come up with the money needed to purchase a new one. So Ishen holds off for as long as she can, despite the fact that she often feels uncomfortable amidst her better-off peers.
"My friends at school can't understand what I go through because they have not experienced poverty first-hand," says Ishen, "They do not understand that when I say I can't go to the cinema, it is not because I don't want to go, but because I simply can't afford to buy a ticket."
Ishen's plight is clearly not as extreme as that of many children living in developing countries where poverty is often absolute. However, child poverty has many dimensions which are not necessarily captured by the $1 a day measure. Poverty of expectation, of education and stimulus, of time and love and care, may all leave a child deprived in ways that have profound effects in both the short and long term.
Although it is widely assumed that child poverty in rich countries is on a steady downward track that is not the case. In fact, child poverty has risen in 17 of the 24 countries belonging to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

"I have found it difficult to register with a doctor," she said calmly as she laid her hands on her distended abdomen. It was alarming to see a woman who had not yet seen a doctor approximately seven months into her pregnancy.
One may mistake this scenario as a tale from a village in the developing world, but this was a scene in the midst of a busy Project:London clinic in east London. At Project:London, there are a significant number of pregnant women who are unable to access any antenatal care to support them through this journey.
The service was established in 2006 by the non-governmental organisation Doctors of the World UK (Médecins du Monde UK) for marginalised groups such as migrants, the homeless and female sex workers. The health advocacy programme grew from a need to help clarify rights for patients in an increasingly restrictive health environment to attempt to improve their access to healthcare (1).
Since opening the doors we have seen the number of patients grow by 300%. In 2010 we helped 1,600 people receive medical treatment and assisted them in registering with a GP. At Project:London there is an abundance of men, women and children who have suffered at the hands of torture, civil war and misdeeds such as human trafficking, and their stories are harrowing.
Arrival in the United Kingdom, often seen as a champion for human rights, brings hope for freedom from persecution that they have faced in their home countries. Instead, vulnerable migrants are confronted with accusations of being 'health tourists' and of being a burden on a strained healthcare system. Interestingly, the data proves the contrary, and studies have shown that migrants are young and healthier than the general population, and do not have the perceived impact on demand for healthcare (2, 3).
The reasons people come to us range from: a lack of awareness of eligibility or entitlement for care; a lack of documents for registration procedures; and problems communicating with healthcare staff. But increasingly it is because health professionals are unaware of the rules and regulations on healthcare access, and refuse to register individuals. Their decisions to refuse registration either stem from preconceived notions about migrants and their healthcare needs, local health authority and trust pressure or the involvement of immigration officials and bodies. Unfortunately, the practice of refusals is more common now than when we opened in 2006.
So what can be done to help these people who cannot get the healthcare they need? After all, if they do not get access to healthcare at a primary care level it has wider implications from a public health point of view. In this age of cost cutting and public cuts, emergency admissions are far more expensive, therefore Project:London is helping to save money by providing its service.
As well as providing a doctor for service users to see on a one-off basis, Project:London's emphasis lies in advocating on behalf of the people it helps to access the mainstream health services. We provide training so that healthcare professionals can understand that they do have 'discretion' to register patients. We call on them to encourage an open and flexible registration system, so people don't have to use our service. We know better than most about the consequences of not allowing people access to healthcare. Perhaps it is forgivable in a developing country where resources are low and training is not available. But how can it be allowed to happen in a so-called rich country where people are relying on us as their last resort?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Even if benefits are coming your way without too much exertion on your part, imagine how much more could happen if you put forth some effort.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It could be to your benefit to try to help others realize their hopes. What would be beneficial for them could be of advantage to you as well.

Positioning - The Kama Sutra of CSS
- Details
- Written by Chris Hirst
Position is the most overused and least understood of all CSS concepts. In essence it is quite simple, it allows you to specify where elements will appear in a HTML document when it is rendered by a visual user agent ie: a web browser.
It is however a little more than that, as it also allows a developer to set which elements are allowed to overlap others in the third dimension of a HTML document, the stacking order (z-index), and how elements should behave if the parent container is reduced in size by user action and becomes too small for the child elements to follow the normal flow..
The position property has five possible values that can be applied. These are: absolute | fixed | relative | static | inherit. At the time of writing all current browsers support these property values although IE8 requires a doctype to support "inherit".
Position is not a 'inheritable' property so child elements of a positioned parent will take the default value of 'static' not the position property of the parent.
position: inherit;
This value simply means that the element it is applied to will have the same position value that is applied to the parent element.
position: static;
This is the default value. If this value, or no value is set for the position property, the element will follow the normal document flow.
position: relative;
The general misconception is that position: relative means that elements are set relative to other elements, this is NOT the case, elements that are positioned relative behave exactly as a static element would unless the positional properties of top | right | left | bottom are applied, then the element will display relative to it's normal (static) position.
N.B. This means that the element will still occupy it's normal position but the contents will appear at the offset co-ordinates and overlap elements that are lower in the stacking order with elements that are higher in the stacking order overlapping the displayed contents.
See examples of relative positioning for a demonstration.
position: absolute;
Absolute positioning removes the element it is applied to from the document flow so it does not affect sibling elements and sibling elements do not affect the absolute positioned element.
Absolute positioned elements behave differently depending on the position value of the parent. If the value is anything other than static the absolute child element will take up a position with respect to (relative to) the top left, inside edge of the parent.
If the immediate parent element is position: static the element will take it's position from the first positioned (non-static) ancestor, if no positioned ancestor exists the top left corner of the body will be used as the reference point, but ONLY if a value is given to one of the offset properties, if no offset is given it will remain located from the top left inside edges of the parent.
This ancestral referencing also extends to the width and height of a block element that is positioned absolutely.
In a non-static parent and when sizes are given in percentage units, the width and height will be a percentage of the parent container, if the parent is static, the sizes will be a percentage of the closest positioned ancestor or if no positioned ancestor is found the width or height of the body will be used.
See examples of absolute positioning for a demonstration
position: fixed;
Fixed positioning is similar to absolute positioning insofar as it removes the element from the document flow and the element will be set with respect to top left corner of the viewport it will however remain in the same position while the rest of the content scrolls.
In the case of a positioned parent the element will also use the parent elements content area as an offset to it's final location.
