First Person
During the debate in 1972 over the referendum to join the European Union, serious arguments were put forward against Ireland's joining. People questioned whether we were going to lose or dilute the independence and sovereignty we had struggled so long for. I happened to be in favor of joining, but I was convinced that if we joined, we had to retain our sense of Irishness. In fact, joining gradually made a deep and positive impact on our Irishness. Ireland welcomed the chance to express its European connection. We were reclaiming our place in Europe.
We ceased to define ourselves almost exclusively in terms of our relationship with Britain. It allowed us a more confident modern sense of ourselves, and we embraced wholeheartedly the idea of being one of a number of European countries that included Britain.
This was a new experience. Irish ministers met their British counterparts in a European context along with their French and German colleagues. People got to know one another, and that helped them address the difficult issue of violence in Northern Ireland. It created the kind of climate that led to the Anglo-Irish agreement of 1985.
Being a part of the European Community enabled us to compare Irish social norms and statistics with those of other countries. I saw that particularly in the progress toward equal pay, equality of opportunity and social security for women. The women's movement in Ireland, which had begun in the '70s, was largely made up of journalists, lawyers like me and woman civil servants looking for equal pay. It intimidated quite a lot of married women in Ireland whose main focus was on their family and children. They felt, "This isn't for me; I'm just a housewife."
In the late '80s and into the '90s the women's movement began looking at the priorities of women in a more rounded way. It included women whose focus may be on their husbands and children but who may be doing volunteer work. At the same time women began taking part more actively in both the public and private sectors. When I was first elected to the Senate in 1969, there were only five women there. Now the proportion is about 13%. I had a sense that the world would be greatly improved when women were there in sufficient numbers to really influence the structures and the way of doing things.
Mary Robinson, a member of the Labour Party, was elected the first woman President of Ireland in 1990

: : : any one out there who is or has been or knows someone who is addicted to their therapist and his therapy? it seems that recovery is not the by-product of this process, yet that was the original purpose..it seems that once a week isn't enough, that daily calls are becoming a need..driving by the house, the office..needing to connect...seems addictive to me..more than alcohol, more than cigarettes and more than the antidepressants..perhaps its a personal issue?
: : I have been in treatment and recovering for over a year. You are showing all the signs of cross-addiction. We have an obsessive-compulsive disorder that can manifest itself in other addictions. I'm surprised your therapist hasn't pointed it out (and maybe he has). It's the mental, emotional abnormality that you need to treat. Drug addiction and other disorders are the by-product of our O-C disorder. Good luck.: Thank you! My therapist, however, doesn't seem to point out anything except how I look, how he feels about me, how important it is to keep working together..I believe I need to seek other counsel..but without him it seems so lonely..that's why the calls, the sessions..but yes, it is a cross addiction and the other things are by-products..thank you for your kind words and thoughtful response.
When the therapist spends more time on your appearance, his feelings and yours, it may be a manipulative, seductive and dirty therapist you are seeing..see Advocate Web Help's site to talk with others who are exploited by their therapists and other professionals! Good luck.

Unanswered: DTS (from sql server 7 to Oracle 7.3)
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out to figure out how to use DTS in SQL Server 7.0 to export data to Oracle 7.3 database? I used MS OLE DB Provider for Oracle as the destination and the transformation was sucessful. However, it showed the destination table was not created in Oracle side and no data at all. Should I choose Oracle73Ver2.5, Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle or DataDirect Oracle7 OLE DB Provider as the destination?
Your any help would be highly appreciated!!

West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham will go top of the Premier League if they win at West Ham on Wednesday.
Leicester's draw with West Brom on Tuesday means Spurs, who trail the Foxes by three points, can go top of the table on goal difference.
Spurs, who have not won the title for 55 years, last led the table in March or later in 1964, when they eventually finished fourth.
Their highest finish since then is third, on five occasions.
Mauricio Pochettino's side have won their last six Premier League matches, a run dating back to a 1-0 defeat by Leicester in January.
After visiting Upton Park, they host third-placed Arsenal on Saturday, with the Gunners three points behind their north London rivals before they play Swansea on Wednesday.
For Spurs, midfielder Dele Alli is a fitness doubt because of a foot problem.
Tom Carroll has recovered from an Achilles tendon injury, while Mousa Dembele might return from a groin strain in time to face Arsenal on Saturday.
West Ham forward Diafra Sakho could be involved against Tottenham for the first time since suffering a thigh injury in November.
Sam Bryam is suspended, while Winston Reid, Joey O'Brien, James Tomkins and Enner Valencia are still injured.
Jonathan Pearce: "Back in October I asked Mauricio Pocchetino why Tottenham's declared ambition was just a top-four place. I had said in commentary they were good enough to win the league. He was guarded.
"I've been banging the drum for months. If they win this to notch up a seventh league win on the spin for the first time in nearly half a century and then beat Arsenal, the title can be theirs.
"But what a game this is. West Ham are playing brilliant football. They're unbeaten at home since August. This is their last Upton Park derby with Spurs. The place is special under lights. Payet could win Footballer of the Year.
"The Hammers could easily win this and the title race will be wide open again."
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic on recent fan trouble in this fixture: "It's a big match for both clubs. It should be a good game because of the position they are in, and we are in.
"The message is I would like the fans to be behind us, to be behind the team, behind the club in a positive way.
"The fans are ambassadors of our club and they can show the world that we are big, great and a polite club."
Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino on Claudio Ranieri's suggestion that Tottenham are title favourites: "Mind games? No, it was a joke. I laughed a little bit.
"Our objective at the end of last season was clear, to reduce the gap with the teams at the top."
"It is important to keep our level, our fitness, our mentality and we'll see what happens. It's too soon to speak about the end of the season."
- West Ham have won only three of the last 17 Premier League meetings (W3, D3, L11).
- There have been three red cards in the last two encounters at the Boleyn Ground.
West Ham United
- West Ham are unbeaten in 13 league and cup games at home (W8, D5).
- The Hammers have kept four clean sheets in their last six home games in the league.
- Their tally of 43 points is their best at this stage of a Premier League season.
- Michail Antonio has scored in four of his last five Premier League appearances at the Boleyn Ground.
Tottenham Hotspur
- Spurs could win seven successive league matches for the first time in 49 years since March to May 1967.
- They are unbeaten in 12 Premier League away games (W7, D5).
- Tottenham have earned an unrivalled 17 points from losing positions this season, winning five of the 10 games in which they have trailed.
- They have the best defensive record in the division and have only conceded more than one goal in three of their 27 matches.
- Mauricio Pochettino's side have the best record in London derbies so far this season, earning 11 points from five games (W3, D2). West Ham have nine points from just four derby matches.
- Harry Kane has scored three goals in four league appearances against West Ham.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The Democrats' loss of Anthony Weiner's House seat in New York is not a harbinger of things to come in next year's elections, the White House said Wednesday.
Seventy-year-old Republican Bob Turner, a political newcomer, claimed victory Tuesday night over David I. Weprin in the traditionally Democratic district in New York's Brooklyn and Queens boroughs in the special election to fill the vacancy created by Weiner's resignation.
Obama spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One "special elections are often unique and their outcomes do not tell you very much about future regularly scheduled elections."
"And I'm sure that you and everyone else here did not write, after Democrats won all, I believe, the special elections in 2009 and 2010, that that foretold a certain outcome in the 2010 midterms," Carney said. "Certainly, this election has no other bearing."
He brushed aside assertions that this special election was different, coming after Congress passed major healthcare and financial reforms, saying it would be "foolish" to make predictions 14 months out based on one district's results.
Carney also rejected the contention the GOP's win should be viewed as a wake-up call, but acknowledged all elected officials need to recognize Americans in general are "anxious" and "not happy with Washington."
Turner becomes the first Republican to represent the New York City district since the 1920s, The New York Times reported.
NY1 News reported Weprin conceded Wednesday and complimented Turner for a "well-fought campaign."
"He [Turner] will now have the honor of representing Brooklyn and Queens in Congress, and I hope that he will work every day to represent all of the diverse communities that make up the 9th Congressional district," Weprin said.
The race appeared to be influenced by voter concerns over the economy. Some voters in the heavily Jewish district are also unhappy with President Barack Obama's Israel policy, and former Mayor Ed Koch urged Jewish Democrats to vote for Turner.
"I am a registered Democrat, I have always been a registered Democrat, I come from a family of Democrats -- and I hate to say this, I voted Republican," Linda Goldberg, a 61-year-old Queens resident, told the Times. "I need to send a message to the president that he's not doing a very good job. Our economy is horrible. People are scared."
Turner said his success foretells an Obama rout next year.
"We have lit one candle today," he said. "It's going to be a bonfire pretty soon."
Weiner resigned this year after admitting he sent sexually explicit photos of himself on Twitter.

Canonical has just released the Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Course. It is available from the release notes available at:
The course consists of a 398 page student guide and an even longer instructor's guide. I've only thumbed through it but it seems pretty thorough and good. Most of the info would also be applicable to Mint.
The work is release under a Creative Commons attribution-noncommercial-share alike license, which means if someone had they time they could modify the book for Mint.
This may be just the thing for those who are only recently beginning their GNU/Linux journey...definitely worth taking a look at.

Two of the most frequently asked questions I get in email strategy meetings with clients are:
- What is the optimal frequency I should use to mail to my subscribers?
- Can my program increase frequency without negatively affecting my email list health?
My answer always is, "How is your list health currently?"
In order to increase frequency of mailings to subscribers, it's imperative that marketers have a healthy subscriber list and measure it on a consistent basis. Email list health is the bloodline of any email program, as it affects program growth, consumer engagement and list fatigue. An unhealthy email list can prevent your message from arriving in inboxes and reaching your intended recipients.
Every email marketer should be monitoring the key metrics for list health below to keep a continual pulse on overall program health.
Here's an example of dashboard view of these metrics that I recommend maintaining and monitoring on a monthly basis.
Top row: Monitor "Basic core"
- List size
- Daily mailing size
- New subscribers
- Opt-outs
- Actives
- Inactives
Key questions the above metrics can answer:
- What's the promotional population size?
- Is the full mailing list utilized?
- Any spikes in opt-out?
- What are the active and inactive segment variances?
Plus the graphic indicators below each section include previous week and month performance, this allows quick insights.
Middle row: Monitors "Ins & outs" plus insights on why
- Subscriber source for current month
- Unsubscirbe by engagement score
- Unsubscirbe by reason, duration, or recency
Key questions the above metrics can answer:
- Which acquisition source garners the most addresses?
- Does engagement score affect/trigger an unsubscribe?
- Why are customers unsubscribing?
- How long are customers on the file until they unsubscribe?
Side and bottom row: Monitor "Trends"
- Inactives year to date
- Actives year to date
- Year over year
- List size
- New subscriptions
- Unsubscribes
Key questions the above metrics can answer:
- Are there any trends for actives and inactives populations?
- What's the expected percentage population that will move into inactives yearly?
- How are list sizes, subscriptions and unsubscribes trending annually?
- Is there email program growth annually?
Testing list health with frequency:
After you have these metrics in place, you can begin to think about increasing your program frequency. As consumers' tolerance for email is heavily dependent on their personal engagement with a unique brand, testing how your subscribers interact with your brand is imperative.
Will your consumers benefit from hearing from you more often? Well, you won't know until you try. Similar to A/B testing with a control group, build a test design to increase frequency and monitor that population's list health variances.
The dashboard above is leveraged monthly to monitor any anomalies or red flags.
Metrics from email list health monitoring is a great way to find out if consumer's love your brand and if you're sending relevant emails. As long as you keep these key points in mind, and give your email health constant checkups, you should always know how well you're doing, and where you need improvement.

New-style tills in the town centre branch of Barclays Bank, installed in Eastbourne as part of a pilot scheme, have sparked a mixed reaction.
The branch in Terminus Road closed for a week earlier this year while state of the art assisted tills were installed in place of the traditional counters with staff behind them.
Eastbourne is one of first places in the country to have the innovative new style branch which provides a banking experience with new technology to allow customers to carry out regular transactions such as paying in cash and cheques, paying bills, withdrawing and transferring money. Staff are on hand to assist customers to undertake their everyday transactions while the new technology allows additional time to support customers who have more complex banking requirements. A number of customers say the bank is replacing people with machines. But the bank says that staff are out from behind the traditional counter and able to serve customers more freely. It also says the new terminals help to free up staff time to have more in-depth discussions with customers, but staff are on hand to help people use them.
The new terminals are not proving popular with some people who have taken to social media to voice their displeasure. On Twitter Duncan Adams said, "It's the no-staff Barclays. How on earth our older generation will cope I've no idea." Teresa Chapman added, "I think the new 'look' is awful, a complete waste of money, so impersonal and involved a lot of inconvenience yet again, for its customers."
Martina Gausden manager of the branch said, "We have the same number of people working at the branch as before but the staff are now in front of the counter in the banking hall assisting customers with their banking requirements. There have been some teething problems as with any change in technology, and I do encourage customers who have questions or concerns to speak to us directly."

Condominium ownership is becoming quite popular throughout the United States. Especially, but not only, in our big cities.
It seems as if condominium developments might be a win-win for everybody. For homeowners, they can be a very efficient and sometimes luxurious way of enjoying a nice lifestyle.
For builders, they can represent a strong return on investment -- at least they did before prices started dropping a few months back. And in the case of high rise condominium construction, less property has to be purchased so the profit margin can be even greater.
Condominiums come in all shapes and flavors. As I indicated, it seems that the newest breed are found in the urban areas. This is partly due to the trend towards urban renewal and redevelopment that is found in many portions of this country.
Of course, many condominiums are also located in suburban areas. Often upscale, these units may be gated and every bit as exclusive and luxurious as their urban counterparts.
When I talk about condominiums, I don't literally mean just those developments that follow a condominium form of ownership. I'm also talking about similar kinds of legal entities such as homeowners associations.
The types of developments have different names in different states. However, the concept is often similar. Unit owners are responsible for and own the interior of the living spaces, often to the finished walls.
The association is responsible for the areas beyond the finished walls, typically the structures themselves, the plumbing, the common sewer lines, etc.
In addition, there are common elements that are controlled by the association. Typically, this might include pathways, recreation facilities, swimming pools, tennis courts, and anything else that is for the benefit of the association.
Associations may have common areas and limited common areas. A common area might be something like what was described above: a park, an internal street, a pool.
A limited common area might be a part of the lawn that's fenced off for the use of a particular unit owner.
These are general observations. Before you purchase you must read the master deed, the bylaws and every other governing document to find out what you will own and what you will not own.
It can make a big difference. As an example, some coastal condominiums have docks for the unit owners. A unit owner needs to understand who will own the dock he or she will be using. This issue is important for resale purposes, maintenance issues (which can be very costly in this example) and riparian ownership concerns.
Condominium projects, with little exception, look wonderful when first built. After they are occupied by property owners, control shifts from the builder to the individual unit owners. At that time, the unit owners run the condominium association and begin full control and responsibility for the common elements.
The success of the condominium association is directly related to the caliber of the association. If the association board of directors is functioning properly and has good legal counsel and other professionals, then the entire community may be an exciting, desirable place to call home.
On the other hand, if the association is falling apart, if nobody wants to volunteer, if it's not governed by capable, caring people, if it doesn't retain quality professionals, or it isn't properly collecting the monthly assessments from the unit owners, then the community probably won't be a desirable place to live. And people are probably not going to continue to live there.
Another concern is the extent to which the condominium is owner occupied. If most owners rent the units out, they may be collectively less concerned about day to day issues than if it is largely or entirely owner occupied.
All of this means that when you purchase a condo, you can't just look at the quality of the construction, or whether the heater works. You cannot just do the kinds of things that you would do if you are purchasing a private, single-family home.
Above and beyond the normal kinds of things that you need to do, you absolutely must look at the condominium records and documents. Take a look at the minutes. Is this a properly run, stable organization? Are there constant resignations; does it appear that little ever gets accomplished?
In reviewing the association documents, find out if they permit special assessments if there are one time large expenditures. The association should be able to special assess if problems arise. Watch for association documents that unreasonably restrict the right to special assess. While this restriction might seem desirable, in reality an inability to special assess can ruin a condominium development.
Things that must get done might never get done properly.
Ask whether the association has a functioning covenants committee? These are the internal volunteers who enforce the rules and regulations. Are they fair and reasonable people? Do they go out on a regular basis to ensure that the rules and regulations are being followed? Or is this the condominium version of the wild west where unit owners do as they please and are never asked to follow the rules.
Rules are necessary in these communities and they must be fairly, even handedly enforced on a regular basis.
In addition to a thorough document review, talk to people who own units. What do they have to say. Look around the development. Does it appear to be well maintained? Are their annoying signs posted everywhere suggesting dysfunction?
There is no getting around the fact that due diligence in the case of a condominium purchase requires an examination of the Association records and legal documents. Examine them and ask questions before purchasing. I suggest having an attorney help you understand the association and its workings. This is an inexpensive service, and may prove down the road to be a very worth while investment.

Volunteer drivers at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg said they have become concerned after not receiving their share of a stipend for working in May and June of 2013.
As part of a program unique to West Virginia, volunteer drivers receive a $75 stipend for driving veterans at the VA, as long as drivers spend more than four hours behind the wheel, per day. The drivers typically transport veterans in need of transportation to medical appointments. Volunteers became concerned when they didn't receive payments for working in May or June of 2013.
Department of Veterans Assistance Secretary Rick Thompson said leftover money in other accounts has been identified to pay drivers for their work in May, however funds for June are still unavailable. July funds will become available at the start of the new fiscal year.
"When I took over in June, the program was adopted through legislation as a line item in the budget. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV), which runs the program, had already spent all the money for the year," Thompson said. "I spoke to the legislative committee on veteran affairs, and I think it would be willing to adopt a resolution to avoid this happening in the future."
Thompson said he will encourage the Legislature to find a way to pay volunteers for their work in June.
The processing for June payments began Wednesday, after the funds to pay the drivers were allocated. Thompson said the processing is expected to be completed Thursday, July 25.

" Brand: Very / Type: Pyjamas "
* Prices may differ from that shown
My little girl is a huge sesame street fan, not quite unlike myself at her age. So, when I spotted these while browsing on littlewoods.ie, I had to have them. I'm a pyjama lover anyway...comfort before style is my motto! I own a selection of 'day' pyjamas aswell as nightwear. I'm sure I'm not alone in that respect. I have only one strict rule....they can be worn at any time of anyday...INSIDE the house. Seeing girls strut around the supermarket wearing slippers and jammies gives me chills of horror down my spine, I mean 'day' pyjamas are one thing.....
As I said before, there was no second thought in this decision. They looked great in the picture and size wise there were many options, from 8 up to 24. There wasn't an option with regards to colour but the white / pink combo on offer looked fab. I love buying with littlewoods as you can pay in installments and this option was open to these pjs also.
At Euro47.00 (£35.00) they were definitely on the expensive side. As pyjamas go they might have been designer for that price. Alas, that was not the case, unless you consider sesame street to be a designer brand, up there with Gucci, Prada and the like. Mind you, offer any of the previous to my five year old and you can guess which will win. As stated before, you can pay in installments on littlewoods (if you have an account with them), but still paying that price for pyjamas was a killer. Usually a £10 pair is considered a splurge in my household.
I always go a size bigger in pyjamas as they are designed for comfort at the end of the day. (Pun intended). I got a size 14 in both top and bottom, and although slighty loose, they were otherwise perfect. The top is mainly white cotton, with elmo's face in a heart and coloured a peach / pink colour. It is short sleeved and round necked and is not too short length wise. I am tall and can sometimes find that pyjama tops can be quite short at the waist. But this sat perfectly on the top of the bottoms and was very flattering.
The bottoms are the same peachy pink colour throughout and are scattered with white hearts. They are a loose cotton material, very soft and very comfortable. They are also long, like the top and quite durable. They are quite loose and flowy at the bottom also which I love.
Like standard cotton jammes, these are machine washable. I don't actually wear them at night, even though that is what they are fully intended for. I change out of my night wear in the morning and throw these on. I have given my husband full permission to shoot if I am still wearing them come evening....although some days they are so hard to take off as it is just so much comfort. All the softness.....!
I have had them since just before christmas now and wear them at least once a week, so they have been washed maybe 7 times. My primark ones would have shrivelled up by now with that much washing but these are actually like new. And so they would want to be for Euro47.00!! The colour hasn't faded and they haven't shrunk even the tiniest bit.
Being nearly completely white on top though, they do tend to get easily dirty. But with grubby fingers around at the best of times, I am quite used to stains. They do wash out easily and in contrast to many white tops I own, the white comes back out as white as it went in
As a whole I do really like them. Not as much as my daughter loves seeing me wear Elmo, but enough. Enough to justify the Euro47.00 though? No! I wouldn't pay that again and I wouldnt even have paid it in a normal store. Oh the temptations of online shopping.......

This book begins with a synopsis of experimental work underlying degeneration and recovery in the nervous system, which is then discussed in the context of strategies to repair the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The major part of the book is given over to the approach involving the use of transplanted tissues to replace and restore disrupted neural networks. This experimental work has formed the basis for the emerging clinical trials employing neural grafts for diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's, which are discussed in detail. The book then goes on to discuss newer cellular strategies involving the manipulation of neural cells both in culture and genetically, an approach that may ultimately be employed in the clinical situation.
Neural Repair, Transplantation and Rehabilitation is unique in bridging the gap from experimental studies to clinical trials, whilst also providing the non-specialist with a background in rehabilitation strategies as well as basic neuroscience. It is recommended for all those involved in the management of patients with degenerative and traumatic injuries to the nervous system.
'The book is clearly written in languages that does not assume any detailed prior knowledge of cell biology, and is well illustrated. It can be recommended to all who would like to learn mere about this rapidly expanding field.' - Leslie Iversen, King's College London in Neuropsychologia 38 2000
'Overall, the book by Barker and Dunnett represents a comprehensive and excellent overview of brain repair concepts and strategies ranging from the experimental basis to clinical applications. It can be highly recommended to both non-specialists and experts in the field, as it provides easily accessible information together with in-depth reviews of most of the important areas of brain plasticity and restoration.' - Guido Nikkhah, Nordstadt Hospital, Germany in Brain, 2001
'Today Barker and Dunnetts volume provides both the aspiring researcher and interested clinican with the most succinct state-of-the-art survey available. As an accessible review of the latest techniques and future advances in neural transplantation Barker and Dunnetts book is an undoubted success.' - Andrew Worthington, Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust, Birmingham
The Limits of Regeneration in the Central Nervous System. Strategies for Protection and Repair of Damage in the CNS. Experimental Principles of Neural Transplantation. Nigral Grafts in Animal Models of Parkinson's Disease. First Clinical Trials: Neural Grafts in Parkinson's Disease. Striatal Grafts: Circuit Reconstruction and Huntington's Disease.

Rehabilitation is a process whereby people, who have been injured by injury or illness, work together with health service staff and others to achieve their optimum level of physical, psychological, social and vocational well-being (McLellan, 1991). It includes all measures aimed at reducing the impact of handicapping and disabling conditions and at enabling disabled people to return to their most appropriate environment (WHO, 1986; Wilson, 1997). It also includes attempts to alter impairment in underlying cognitive and brain systems by the provision of systematic, planned experience to the damaged brain (Robertson & Murre, 1999). The above views apply also to neuropsychological rehabilitation, which is concerned with the assessment, treatment and natural recovery of people who have sustained an insult to the brain.
Neuropsychological rehabilitation is influenced by a number of fields both from within and without psychology. Neuropsychology, behavioural psychology and cognitive psychology have each played important roles in the development of current rehabilitation practice. So too have findings from studies of neuroplasticity, linguistics, geriatric medicine, neurology and other fields. Our discipline, therefore, is not confined to one conceptual framework; rather, it has a broad theoretical base.
We hope that this broad base is reflected in the modular handbook. The first book was by Roger Barker and Stephen Dunnett which set the scene by talking about "Neural repair, transplantation and rehabilitation". The second title, by Josef Zihl, addressed visual disorders after brain injury. The most recent book by Barbara Wilson, Camilla Herbert and Agnes Shiel focussed on behavioural approaches to rehabilitation. Future titles will include volumes on specific cognitive functions such as language, memory and motor skills, together with social and personality aspects of neuropsychological rehabilitation. Other titles will follow as this is the kind of handbook that can be added to over the years.
Although each volume will be based on a strong theoretical foundation relevant to the topic in question, the main thrust of a majority of the books will be the development of practical, clinical methods of rehabilitation arising out of this research enterprise.
The series is aimed at neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists and other rehabilitation specialists such as occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, rehabilitation physicians and other disciplines involved in the rehabilitation of people with brain injury.
Neuropsychological rehabilitation is at an exciting stage in its development. On the one hand, we have a huge growth of interest in functional imaging techniques to tell us about the basic processes going on in the brain. On the other hand, the past few years have seen the introduction of a number of theoretically driven approaches to cognitive rehabilitation from the fields of language, memory, attention and perception. In addition to both the above, there is a growing recognition from health services that rehabilitation is an integral part of a health care system. Of course, alongside the recognition of the need for rehabilitation is the view that any system has to be evaluated. To those of us working with brain injured people including those with dementia, there is a feeling that things are moving forward. This series, we hope, is one reflection of this move and the integration of theory and practice.

Album Rating: 1.0Not great
I highly doubt this is a one, good review dude
Album Rating: 2.0The review is alright but there are a bundle of awkward parts and every paragraph looks kind of like a big run-on sentence...
Spell check!
Number three: "It Was Written In Blood" I would consider this by far the worst song in this album the start of the song is
alright i guess but the whole song has the same sounding riff the whole time and when Oliver is screaming it sounds as if he's
just repeating the same things over and over its just plain boring and takes the whole album down
Album Rating: 3.5dude i forgot to put a single comma in it relax and the spelling and punctuation is alrite
Album Rating: 2.5not a bad review the only problem i can see is in the summary
you call the album suicide seasons
correct me if im wrong but season is just singular
im just being nitpicky
Album Rating: 3.0review reflects your age
Album Rating: 2.5Finally got the damned album, they seem to have cleaned up a bit. Is someone else in the band singing too?This Message Edited On 10.02.08
Album Rating: 2.5Well it seems that they've matured a little in the musical aspect, but not lyrically and it hurts this album badly. Oh, and Oli's voice is fucking annoying. Their new sound overall is terribly bland.This Message Edited On 10.02.08
Album Rating: 2.0If you're referring to Football Season Is Over they got the guy from Deez Nuts to do guest vocals but other than that the lineup is the same...
Album Rating: 2.5this does sound pretty good though, they've matured their sound a bit
but you can still tell its them
Album Rating: 2.5You need to either stop doing reviews or learn how to write competently, because quite frankly, this is a pathetic excuse for a review.
Album Rating: 3.0The album is called "Suicide Season." Not "Seasons."
You need to either stop doing reviews or learn how to write competently, because quite frankly, this is a pathetic excuse for a review.
extremely old review is extremely old.
He's been going on every singe one of his reviews and saying the same thing.
Digging: Swallow the Sun - The Morning Never Came
Album Rating: 3.0Sam Carter's clean vocals in Sadness, are the only real standout on the album.
hes pissed off
Album Rating: 3.0"The sadness will never end a song which features Sam Carter of The Architects it delivers a slight hardcore sound which Sams brilliant vocals make it a bit more softer sounding and the bridges honestly give me goose bumps, this song is melodic but hardcore though has a singer from a softer acoustic genre, who knew it would make such a good mix??"
Yeah, Architects have a pretty soft sound man. I fall asleep to "Early Grave."

after a web front end
if one looks at mp3.thirtythreeandathird.net one will see a huuuuuuuge list of directories that takes ages to load. anyone aware of a decent package that can display these in a more controllable way? php or something?
Nightly Process
Depending on how dynamic the content is, you can parse the directory into an "index.html" file in a once-in-a-while process. The "slow" is because the Web Server (Apache) is processing the
directory contents on the fly, instead of attempting to simply dump the contents of a similarly sized file.
I would probably write this as a nightly Perl task - customized. On the other hand, you could also do something like this:
rm htdocs/index.html
wget -o tmp.html http://mp3.thirtythreeandathird.net/
mv tmp.html htdocs/index.html
It would give you the same result, but will not have to wait for Apache's dynamic processing every time.

Nearly the entire staff of Akin Elementary was lined up outside the school by 7 a.m. Monday ready to greet anxious parents. They said hello to each student who arrived at the Wylie campus and happily escorted the youngsters inside the campus.
Many parents cried and thanked the staff, feeling grateful and reassured to send their children to school following the tragic events in Connecticut last week.
"I knew the parents were going to be just terrified and very emotional," Principal Valerie Plumlee said. "We wanted our faces and our smiles to be the first thing they saw this morning."
Classes continued across North Texas on Monday with some following daily routines and others needing to take time to process what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 young children were killed along with the principal and five others who worked at the campus.
Ashley Jones, a third-grade teacher at Audelia Creek Elementary in the Richardson school district, said her students wanted reassurances Monday. Where do they go if a bad person was in the hallway? Why did this person do this?
Jones talked to them about safety measures, and then the class drew pictures and signs to show support for those in Connecticut.
"We didn't talk about the details of what happened at Sandy Hook because that's for the parents to decide what to tell them," Jones said. "I had to be honest and tell them I don't know why this happened. It could happen anywhere, but we will do our best to make sure they are protected. I told them, 'Once you're here, it is my job to make sure you are OK.'"
At a glance, it might have looked like any other day at Plano East Senior High, with students gearing up for a week of exams. But junior Bilal Ayub felt a change in the atmosphere, particularly during the day's moment of silence.
"Usually you see people talking or doing homework through it, but today there was a difference. There was pin-drop silence in reverence," Ayub said.
Principal Virdie Montgomery began his day meeting with student representatives of Wylie High School. By lunchtime, the campus had a list of activities to show support for those suffering, including plans to wear Sandy Hook's school colors of green and white all week and making wooden angels to represent each victim. The angels will be placed in front of the school.
In recent years, Montgomery has been active in Rachel's Challenge, a group formed in honor of Columbine victim Rachel Scott that is dedicated to spreading kindness in schools. He became close with Darrell Scott, the teen's father. Monday morning, Montgomery's thoughts were with his friend.
"When something like this happens, it hits my heart," he said.

North America has been the focus of nearly $2bn worth of mergers and acquisitions activity over the course of the last week. This brief window has seen game changing deals with the likes of Norbert Dentressangle's acquisition of Jacobson and XPO Logistics' purchase of New Breed, not to mention the merger of TransForce and Contrans. Deals like these have the potential to change the nature of the markets in which they take place and to transform the business environment in which companies operate.
Ti's senior analyst Cathy Roberson said, "This apparent uptick in mergers and acquisitions seem to be due to a number of factors including an improving economy, increasing regulations and shortage of drivers within the trucking market, a fragmented logistics market and the growth in specific vertical industry sectors."
Knowledge of such deals is therefore of fundamental importance to those doing business in the industry, without such knowledge even the shrewdest businessman exposes himself to risk and uncertainty.
Transport Intelligence (Ti) runs a Logistics Briefing service to keep our subscribers up to date with all the latest developments in the logistics industry and foster awareness of current market conditions. As part of this news service Ti compiles a monthly newsletter which reports on all mergers and acquisition activity that has taken place over the course of the previous month, the Global Mergers & Acquisitions newsletter.
The newsletter is comprised of news and briefs and acts as a useful tool which can be used to keep abreast of all major developments in the industry. The briefs, written by senior analysts here at Ti, help to provide explanations of the rationale behind a deal, the effect that a transaction is likely to have on the companies involved and the impact that an accord could have on the wider market.
Developments in North America showcase the value of this resource and how quickly it is possible a business to be left behind without proper market intelligence. Not only does Ti offer free newsletters, it also provides specialized consulting services for those companies interested in such activity as well as, reports such as the recently published Global Contract Logistics and Global Freight Forwarding which are available for purchase for those interested in additional analysis on such markets.

If you want to take pleasure in other people's flaws, the list you should examine does not start and stop with him.

All SRAM rims are 21mm on the inside, only the outside width differs between rims. So surly he chose a Roam 50 over a Roam 40? But even then the Roam 50 is still 1530g for a 27.5" rim, so where did the 1750g come into it? I'm confused.

PINKBIKE POLL: Press-Fit Bottom brackets
I've had 9 mountain bikes in the last 10 years, all but one had threaded BB cups and 26" wheels. Nobody needs them to keep reinventing the wheel to get us to buy new bikes, we already do buy them. "Besides, hobbies are suppose to cost money!" Yes they are but you don't just lie down and get buttf***ed by the manufacturers.

PINKBIKE POLL: Press-Fit Bottom brackets
Negative prop me if you want but this was the last straw for me. After 10 years as a mountain biker and numerous I've turned my back on the industry, It's all about profits and coming up with the next big 'iPhone' innovation. After buying a 29er with a PF30 bottom bracket I had to take it back to the shop far too many times to have it fixed. If it were threaded I could fix it myself but had to rely on the shop as it would mean buying a whole host of new tools. Luckily I used to work as a pushbike mechanic so I knew what was wrong and found that the bottom bracket wasn't even installed properly at the factory. But after a few months it started creaking again for the third time and for a bike I only owned for a six months I wanted it gone and sold it. I want to buy a bike with proven technology, I don't want to be a test dummy for a money saving scheme invented by the MTB industry.

TOULOUSE, France, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- EADS North America Vice President Sam Adcock said the U.S. government will delay until next year the $40 billion contract to outfit the U.S. Air Force with refueling tanker aircraft.
A realistic contract award date for the 179 in-flight refueling tankers "is probably first quarter next year," Adcock said Tuesday at the company's investors' conference in Toulouse, France.
European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., the parent of plane maker Airbus, is "very optimistic about" winning the deal over Seattle's Boeing, Adcock added.
The Air Force initially said it would award the contract in the fall and then before the end of this year.
Both companies filed bids in July, after the Air Force granted EADS a 60-day bidding extension because its American partner, Northrop Grumman, pulled out of the competition. The Los Angeles company left saying the bidding conditions clearly favor Boeing, a claim denied by U.S. officials.
The latest potential deadline extension underscores how fierce the competition has been over the past nine years. U.S. lawmakers have in the past argued against EADS, saying the contract should be awarded to Boeing to secure U.S. jobs.
"Let's face it: We're in the largest, most high-profile, most visible competition that has taken place in the United States in the defense and aerospace world in the last 10 years," Adcock said.
EADS is throwing its KC-45 tanker, a large plane based on the Airbus A330, into the race. The Americans are bidding with an altered version of its Boeing 767, called New Generation Tanker.
Boeing claims its tanker program will employ 50,000 Americans. EADS claims its plan will employ 48,000 Americans.
Adcock's remarks came less than a week after EADS reported third-quarter net profits of nearly $18 million, up from a $117 million loss during the same period a year ago.
"Earnings before interest and tax was driven by more favorable one-time effects at Airbus Commercial and Airbus Military as well as better performance at Cassidian, partially offset by higher R&D at Eurocopter," EADS said in a statement.
EADS Chief Executive Officer Louis Gallois warned, however, that the military business could experience volatility in the future.
"Budget reviews in our home countries are not yet fully completed; we therefore remain attentive to challenges which could arise for our business with government customers," Gallois said in a statement.
The company is expected to turn to emerging countries in Asia and Latin America for future growth, as military budgets in North America and Europe are under increasing pressure.

Brother Henk was back for the second RAP expedition to the Fojas in November 2008, and thanks to donations from team members, he did not spend the entire three weeks in a single set of clothes. It was a good thing too, because the torrential rain meant that even those with plenty of clothing spent much of their time with sodden shirts, damp pants, and squishy socks.
The rain, of course, fuels the forest's rich life, manifested in part by lush mosses, ferns, and other epiphytes—plants that grow on other plants—covering tree trunks and limbs. High enough in elevation to be above malarial mosquitoes and known poisonous snakes, residents of the aptly named Bog Camp saw their major threat in falling branches, as epiphytic vegetation soaked up water and stressed limbs, which cracked with the staccato of artillery fire.
Among the dozen or so tents at Bog Camp was a large yellow one that served as a makeshift laboratory, where expedition biologists preserved skins, skeletons, whole animals, and bits of tissue to be taken away for later study and DNA analysis. Here, Kristofer Helgen and Christopher Milensky of the Smithsonian Institution prepared, respectively, mammal and bird specimens, and Australian Paul Oliver worked on frogs and lizards. Ornithologist Ed Scholes of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology carried video and audio recorders along forest paths, documenting rare birds of paradise. Botanist Asep Sadili of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, which cosponsored the expedition, collected plants from a study site near camp.
Team members captured animals in various traps and nets and, in some instances, by hand (especially in the case of frogs found by headlamp light on night walks). Many of the larger birds and mammals were brought in by men from a village in the Foja foothills who guided biologists, helped with camp chores, and demonstrated time and again their near-magical knowledge of the ways of the forest.
On the second day of the expedition, three of the hunters returned from a walk carrying a dwarf cassowary, freshly shot with bow and arrow. Though Milensky coveted the three-foot-tall bird, the local men had other ideas, and soon the air was filled with the smell of roasted cassowary. Milensky salvaged the bones. As he laboriously cleaned a femur, he declared, "This may be the first wild-caught specimen for any museum in the past hundred years."
