of Trace
the act of one who traces; especially, the act of copying by marking on thin paper, or other transparent substance, the lines of a pattern placed beneath; also, the copy thus producted
a regular path or track; a course
In software engineering, tracing is a specialized use of logging to record information about a program's execution. This information is typically used by programmers for debugging purposes, and additionally, depending on the type and detail of information contained in a trace log, by experienced system administrators or technical support personnel and software monitoring tools to diagnose common problems with software. Tracing is a cross-cutting concern. There is not always a clear distinction between tracing and other forms of logging, except that the term tracing is almost never applied to logging that is a functional requirement of a program. Logs that record program usage or operating system events primarily of interest to a system administrator fall in a gray area with regards to terminology. This article deals with tracing that is primarily for debugging or diagnostic purposes.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
trā′sing, n. act of one who traces: act of copying by marking on thin paper the lines of a pattern placed beneath: the copy so produced.—n. Trā′cing-pā′per, a transparent paper which, when laid over a drawing, &c., allows the drawing to be seen through it, so that a copy can be made by tracing the lines of the original on the paper.

Cane Spelling Variations
Cane Spelling Variations
Just like the English language, the Gaelic language of Ireland was not standardized in the Middle Ages. Therefore, one's name was often recorded under several different spellings during the life of its bearer. Spelling variations revealed in the search for the origins of the Cane family name include Cain, Caine, Kane, Kain, Cahan, O'Cahan, Kean, Keane, O'Keane, Ceane, Cean, Kahan, O'Kean, O'Kane, O'Kaine, Kaine, Keann, Cainn, Cainne, Kainn, Cahann, O'Cain and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Irish families left their homeland in astonishing numbers during the 19th century in search of a better life. Although individual reasons vary, most of these Irish families suffered from extreme poverty, lack of work opportunities, and exorbitant rents in their homeland. Many decided to travel to Australia or North America in the hopes of finding greater opportunities and land. The Irish immigrants that came to North America initially settled on the East Coast, often in major centers such as Boston or New York. But like the many other cultures to settle in North America, the Irish traveled to almost any region they felt held greater promise; as a result, many Irish with gold fever moved all the way out to the Pacific coast. Others before that time left for land along the St. Lawrence River and the Niagara Peninsula, or the Maritimes as United Empire Loyalists, for many Irish did choose to side with the English during the American War of Independence. The earliest wave of Irish migration, however, occurred during the Great Potato Famine of the 1840s. An examination of early immigration and passenger lists has revealed many people bearing the Cane name:

Lord Borrie: My Lords, I welcome the order. It restores to individuals the benefits of the protection of the Consumer Credit Act which has been eroded by inflation over the past 15 years. As the Minister indicated, a regulated consumer credit agreement provides a considerable amount of protection to the individual. I refer not just to the cooling-off rights but other rights concerning requirements for the agreement and pre-agreement material including an indication of the rate of interest so that it can be compared in a fair way with other rates of interest. As regards repossession of goods, I refer to the right of a firm stake, as it is sometimes called, in the goods obtained on hire purchase by having paid one third of the total due. It is undoubtedly beneficial to the individual to have the limit raised from £15,000 to £25,000.
However, the draft order raises certain questions in my mind. Why wait 15 years? One may not want such orders coming before the House every time inflation is 3 per cent. or 4 per cent. One does not want such an order coming before the House every year. However, bearing in mind that inflation has eroded protection gradually over a long period, instead of fixing the limits for 12 or 15 years ahead, perhaps by order the limits could be adjusted by the RPI. Alternatively, the Government could come forward with a draft order with a higher limit which one might reach as inflation of 2 per cent., 3 per cent., or 4 per cent. per annum was envisaged, no government apparently envisaging nil inflation. So why not a limit of £35,000 instead of £25,000?
The final point on which I should be grateful for the Minister's comments is this. Why have a limit? The regulation applies only to individuals. I realise that it includes not only the private consumer but those in partnerships. But it excludes those in corporate businesses. It might be said that they do not need this protection; they can look after themselves. I am not sure why any individual should not enjoy the protection of the Consumer Credit Act which exists for regulated agreements. One might argue that the more money at stake--let us say, on a Jaguar or a Mercedes instead of a more modest saloon car--the more one needs the protection that the Consumer Credit Act provides for regulated agreements.
I welcome the increase in the limit that the draft order provides. However, I doubt whether it is satisfactory to deal with the problem once every decade or so.
Baroness Blatch: My Lords, the Minister will be relieved that I rise not to oppose the order but to support it, and to make a different point about the prolonged period over which there has been no increase. I put that down to a sustained period of low inflation, which has been welcome, and I hope the prospects of that continuing are good.
The noble Lord, Lord Borrie, raises some interesting points about whether there is to be a commitment to an annual review, or a target to be reached over time. It is important that at some time the Government set out their views. In the meantime I support the order.
Lord Haskel: My Lords, I thank the noble Lord and the noble Baroness for their comments, and for their support. My noble friend asks: why wait 15 years? The matter is reviewed as and when consultations lead one to think it necessary. There may be a good reason for having a regular review. I am sure that the Government will look into the matter.
As regards the limits being adjusted by the RPI, there are other matters so adjusted. I am sure that it is a matter the Government will consider. I thank my noble friend for that suggestion.
My noble friend suggests moving towards a limit which envisages what inflation will be. I am not sure that my right honourable friend the Chancellor would wish us to take a view as to what inflation will be and to move towards that total. I do not know how far that proposal will get.
My noble friend referred to the business aspect. That is a separate issue and not related to the order. However, since my noble friend raised the point, let me say that the Government agree with the judgment of the Commons committee which, before the election, examined the previous government's proposals to deregulate business lending. The committee rejected that on the ground that the Consumer Credit Act provides valuable protection to sole traders and unincorporated businesses. The Government have no plans to remove business lending from its scope. I thank noble Lords for their proposals. I commend the order.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
Lord Haskel rose to move, That the draft order laid before the House on 18th February be approved [24th Report from the Joint Committee].
The noble Lord said: My Lords, the purpose of the order is to increase the maximum amount of most of the awards that industrial tribunals can make to individuals whose statutory employment rights have been infringed. It also affects the amount of redundancy payments payable to employees.
As your Lordships know, the employment rights legislation requires the Secretary of State to review certain limits annually. Those are the limit on the amount and duration of guaranteed payments; the limit on the weekly amounts payable from the National Insurance Fund to employees of an employer who has become insolvent; and the limit on a week's pay used in calculating statutory redundancy payments, the basic award of compensation for unfair dismissal, and the additional award for an employer's failure to comply with an order for reinstatement or re-engagement.
After taking into account the factors that we must consider--the general level of earnings; the national economic situation as a whole, and other relevant matters--we propose that the limit on the daily amount of guarantee pay should increase roughly by the rate of inflation, as measured by the retail price index. Since the last increase in September 1995, that is, from £14.50 to £15.35 per day, and that the limits on a week's pay should increase from £210 to £220.
The Secretary of State laid a report on 18th February in which she explained why the periods in respect of which guarantee payments can be made would not be increased. The legislation also enables the Secretary of State to review other limits on payments at her discretion. Those are the awards for compensation for unfair dismissal and the special awards which may be made in cases where the dismissal is related to an employee's activities as a trade union or a health and safety representative, as an employee pension scheme trustee, or as a representative for consultation about redundancy or business transfer.
We propose that the limits on these awards should also rise with inflation. We propose that the limit on the maximum award for compensation for unfair dismissal should increase from £11,300 to £12,000. These increases will ensure that the real value of the limit on payments and industrial tribunal awards will not be eroded.
The proposed new limits will be set out in the order. In commending the increases to the House, I wish to say that in reviewing the awards, as well as taking into account the factors I mentioned earlier, we have also had regard to employers' costs and the cost to public expenditure.
In the longer term the Government wish to consider whether the limits, and the arrangements for reviewing them, work in the best way to meet our aims. Although we are not in a position to say yet what the options might be, we should be interested to hear and would welcome representations from your Lordships and from interested parties elsewhere. I commend the order to the House.
Moved, That the draft order laid before the House on 18th February be approved [24th Report from the Joint Committee].--(Lord Haskel.)
Baroness Blatch: My Lords, the order that the noble Lord has set out refers to 12 areas where the increases are to take effect. I wish to repeat the point made by my honourable friend in another place, Mr. Tim Boswell, when he referred to an increase of 4 per cent. for redundancy pay, and an increase in compensation by a tribunal of 6 per cent.
I have read the reply by the Minister in another place. Although the Minister uses the argument of rounding up and rounding down for this range of increases, and indeed the Minister referred today to "roughly by the rate of inflation", I remain of the view that a 2 per cent. differential, when uplifting costs in line with inflation, should not become common practice.
It is important to record, and always to keep at the forefront of one's mind, that any increase must be met by someone. In this case, the burdens fall on business. I believe that the estimated cost to business is between £8 million and £11½ million. Those costs, taken together with many of the other financial burdens being laid on business, certainly as a result of two Budgets from the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, are causing considerable anxiety.
It may come as a relief to the Minister that I shall not oppose the order. However, I ask that extreme sensitivity to the business sector--which will fall subject to these costs--should be shown in future.
It is not simply a question of employers being responsible, and therefore avoiding the need for such measures. That is an argument that I take as read. Legislation is constantly being passed, some during this Session and some to come, which derives from obligations that will result from signing the social chapter. If the country is to flourish, a prerequisite for jobs and prosperity is that business should also flourish.

Major jazz figures -- even players who've logged over half a century on the stage -- are not guaranteed a full-length, professional documentary retrospective. Dizzy Gillespie? Cecil Taylor? Herbie Hancock? Lucky for us that Dorothy Darr, the closest human to Charles Lloyd for 40 years, is handy with a camera. Along with producer-editor Jeffery Morse, Darr has assembled a sensitive, comprehensive portrait of a saxophonist whose reclusiveness has obscured his historic influence. It's a great gift for Lloyd's 75th birthday, which rolls around next month.
Few remember that Lloyd, who played at Monterey and gigged regularly at both Fillmores, was the only jazz preacher whose sound enraptured millions of rock-minded hippies in the late 1960s -- before Miles Davis (who appropriated Lloyd's band) went electric with similar ambitions. Robbie Robertson of the Band remembers, though, and he talks about it here.
Few can imagine that Lloyd's 1967 tour of the USSR made such a revolutionary impact that the saxophone was literally banned in its wake, and that the tour's promoters got sent to Siberia as punishment.
Few know that Lloyd, mainly reputed for his peaceful, lilting strains, used to rock the bandstand with the likes of Howlin' Wolf. Ornette Coleman, a saxist with similar blues roots, knows, though, and his casual billiards-parlor hang with Lloyd makes one of the film's most lasting impressions.
Along with many a scene in painterly settings, Darr has collected numerous rare live performance gems, including jams with Gabor Szabo, Cannonball Adderley, Michel Petrucciani and Billy Higgins. ECM producer Manfred Eicher, jazz contemporary Hancock, and band members Jason Moran and Geri Allen rank among the many who pull together pieces of the Lloyd mosaic.
But the most revealing moments arrive when Lloyd himself walks and talks. Like many a magus, he seems to change physiognomy from decade to decade, the lone constant being his sad, soulful eyes, which amplify his multiple racial backgrounds even to the extent that they contain rings of both brown and blue.
As distinctive as his tenor's sound -- a more feathered and ethereal combination of Lester Young and John Coltrane -- is Lloyd's speech, which resonates with color and poetry (describing the evolution from "covered-wagon" jazz), but also truth. When he says music "changes the molecules," we know from our own experience how right that is.
"Charles Lloyd: Arrows Into Infinity" screens Friday, February 15, as part of the Pan African Film Festival at the Rave Cinemas Baldwin Hills 15 in the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, 4020 Marlton Ave. (off Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. west of Crenshaw Blvd.), Baldwin Hills 90008; 9:30pm; $11.50; www.paff.org.

"Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one."
Dr. Seuss
"If it's not fun, forget it." That should have been Penny's quote. With her sparkling personality she was like a party just waiting to happen. Pleasing Penny was easy, and any kind of celebration would make her happy. We were planning a surprise birthday party for her fourth birthday.
Mama never had money for gifts but we always had cake and ice cream. Daddy was a Master Electrician and he earned a good pay check, he was even working a lot of overtime, but we saw very little of his money. Mama said he spent most of it in the bars and on new cars. Many a time Mama took all of us kids out the back door, whenever bill collectors came, to hide in the woods.
But all of our birthdays were made special and we felt important, like we mattered. Mama would decorate the house and fix a special meal. We'd eat on the picnic table, weather permitting, in the back yard under the big oak tree. Everyone would gather around and we'd have fun playing games, singing and telling jokes. We'd even put on pretend plays, or puppet shows.
Mama needed help for Penny's surprise. My job was to keep Penny busy while Mama got everything ready. Ronnie took off down the road to visit a friend. I took Penny outside. We played school and I was the teacher. A couple of empty beer cases made some great chairs, even if they didn't smell too good. Rusty old TV trays that were rescued from the neighbor's trash made great desks. Penny drew pictures with several pieces of broken crayons. Pretend home work, of writing the numbers from one to ten, was assigned. After she got tired of that, I read her favorite Little Golden Book to her, "Pokey Little Puppy."
"Is my party ready yet?" Penny kept asking. I was hoping it wouldn't be too much longer. Penny was getting harder to entertain and I could hear thunder in the distance. A storm was headed our way so we were going to have the party inside that day.
"She'll let us know," I told her again, just as the door opened and Mama came out. She was wiping the sweat off her face with her apron, and she still looked good. Mama always kept herself looking nice. She fixed up and wore make-up every day. I planned to do the same thing if I ever got married.
She sat down under the tree with us. "Isn't Ronnie back yet?" she asked, "I told him not to be gone too long. Everything's all set, just as soon as your brother gets back we'll go in." We were listening for him to come down the road. Every time we heard a noise Mama jumped up and looked down the road. "Here he don't come," she'd say, just trying to be funny and get us all excited.
Penny spotted him first. "Here he comes," she yelled as we all went out to meet him.
"What took you so long?" Penny asked. "My birthday party's all ready."
"Well, I'm here now," Ronnie said, "Let's go." We all started back to the house. Penny ran ahead. Her naturally curly, bright red pony tails bounced in the breeze. Her long green hair ties were swinging. She looked so cute in her plaid dress with the puff sleeves and white buttons down the front. We had to hurry to catch up with her. Mama opened the door and let the birthday girl go in first. Penny's blue eyes sparkled with excitement. Her favorite thing: A party, just for her.
Red, yellow and green balloons, tied with thread, hung around the living room. Mama had a big sign taped to the wall, "Happy Birthday, Penny."
The table looked pretty, set with Mama's few pieces of china. She could thank Duz laundry soap for that. Hidden inside each box of Duz was a piece of fine china, decorated with a golden wheat pattern and gold edging. She had spent many months and was still trying to gather her collection. She only used it for special occasions.
Mama's little touch of loveliness, in a harsh world.
The silverware collection on the table also came free: hidden, then pulled from boxes of another brand of soap. The forks and spoons even looked good resting on a folded up paper towel. Rising from an empty jelly jar, in the center of the table, were three longed stemmed red roses, picked from her garden. Everything looked colorful and inviting.
We took our places around the table. Chilled glasses of strawberry Kool Aid were poured into red, blue, purple and gold Aluminum Tumblers. The glasses once held cottage cheese and were delivered to our door by the milkman. Mama had asked Penny what she wanted for her birthday dinner, but we knew she'd pick pizza. We all loved Mama's homemade pizza with Polish Sausage and cheese. Yummy smells filled the room as pieces were passed around. We could hardly wait to sink our teeth into a big slice. We devoured every last bite.
Then we sang the most popular song in the world,"Happy Birthday," to Penny. She made a wish and blew out all five of her candles. There was always one extra candle on the cake. "And one to grow on," Mama would say.
Penny made the first cut in the chocolate cake, with white frosting, that she'd asked for. Big pieces were put in bowls for each of us. Every slice was topped off with a large scoop of chocolate ice cream, then drizzled on top with a squirt of Hershey's Syrup.
Mama hauled out her guitar and played for us. We tried to sing along to "Roll Out The Barrel, We'll Have a Barrel of Fun." We spent the rest of the evening playing hide the button and other games. We didn't need presents. We had each other, and that was enough. Laughter rang throughout our small home until it was time to get ready for bed.
And we knew that another birthday was coming up, but it wouldn't be near as much fun. The next birthday was going to be Daddy's. I wondered what Mama was going to make us do for him, trying to show a love that didn't exist.

The Power of One
Going into this series we know we were taking a huge risk. After all, who cares about 'church history' these days? However, we felt like God was nudging us to follow up our study of Acts with a telling-of-the-story of what happened after the last disciple died. The Power of One is a ten week series dedicated to telling the story of the church and what God did after the last pages of Revelation!

Prior to veterinary school, Dr. Diaz worked in research at the University of Florida and it is this background that compels her to trust medical and nutritional recommendations that arise from science and peer reviewed discussion versus internet opinions.
Two years in the Peace Core in Central America working in animal sciences provided an opportunity to learn cultural sensitivity, creative trouble shooting, and diplomatic resolution. Accompanied by excellent skills and the empathy that comes from being a visitor in a foreign land and poor country, Dr. Diaz brings the additional skill of fluent Spanish to her profession as well.
Finally, with the adoption of " Murphy " one year ago, she understands how a four footed, furry friend can completely take over ones house and heart.

Such agreement is crucial to hope for Christian unity. Many find hope in the 1982 documents, "Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry." BEM, for short, was produced in Lima by the World Council of Churches—a 348-member organization including most denominations you've heard of: Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Mennonite, and Quaker. The Roman Catholic Church doesn't belong to the WCC, the rationale being that the Church of Rome IS the Church. Joining an organization that renders us one "church" among equals sends the wrong message.
BEM was a work in progress since 1928. The resulting documents have been closely studied by the U.S. bishops. Here's a short summary of their assessment. BEM on Baptism has much to be admired. Its teaching on Baptism as a cleansing from sin, gift of the Spirit, incorporation into the Body of Christ, all in the name of the Trinity, is sound. BEM recognizes Baptism's "unrepealable" nature. It describes it as the foundation of, but no substitution for, a life of faith—a nod to both infant and adult baptism.
The bishops' takeaway: BEM needs work in treating the Spirit's and the church's role in Baptism. The unity of all sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist) should be clarified. The BEM distinction drawn between infant baptism and "believer's baptism" (for adults) is an "unfortunate" phrase. But a movement toward a formal mutual recognition of Christian baptisms is plausible.
Regarding Eucharist, BEM calls it a "thanksgiving, memorial, invocation, communion, and meal of the kingdom." BEM churches agree with Rome that frequent celebration of Eucharist is desirable. They concur that the entire Eucharistic celebration, not a single "moment of consecration," makes Christ really present. BEM rightly stresses the social and ethical dimensions that travel with us from the Table to the world.
The bishops would like to see more about how the nature of the church is a direct result of our Eucharist; clarification of how Christ is present as spiritual food; how Christ remains present even when the sacrament is reserved, as in the Tabernacle. The bishops see much that's mutual, but not enough for Christians to share Eucharist together.
BEM views Ministry as the vocation of all Christians, while holding a distinct place for the ordained kind. It acknowledges the apostolic origins of bishop, presbyter, and deacon. U.S. bishops agree on "interdependence and reciprocity" between the laity and the ordained. They await more clarity on the uniqueness of ordination, its relationship to sacramental ministry, particularly in the forgiveness of sins. Finally, the ordination of women remains a sticking point between BEM and Rome. Reason to hope for unity? Yes. But not for holding your breath.
Mark 6:34-44; 14:22-25; Matthew 16:18-19; 28:19-20; John 6:22-58; Romans 6:3-11; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; 12:1-31; 1 Timothy 3:1-13

Montella eyes Roma return
By Nadia Carminati

Vincenzo Montella has hinted he may return to Italy when his loan spell at Fulham ends.
Vincenzo Montella has hinted he may return to Italy when his loan spell at Fulham ends in the summer.
Montella, who joined Fulham in January on a six-month loan contract from Roma, says he has enjoyed his time at Craven Cottage but would like the chance to prove himself again in Serie A.
"I feel good here in London," Montella told Corriere dello Sport. "I've been welcomed in a positive way and it's not easy for an Italian player being accepted in England.
"I must thank the supporters and the club as a whole for making me feel so welcome," he added.
But despite a successful loan stint, the 32-year-old expressed his desire for a move back to Roma, adding: "Roma miss me.
"It has been a great experience but I will go back to Rome and discuss my future with the club.
"I have more experience behind me now and I want to prove myself in Italian football."

Book Review: Shadow of the Mountain
Given this summer's move and all the topsy-turvy way of life that accompanies it, I forgot that I ever read this book! I discovered it at the bottom of a stack on my desk about two weeks ago. (Sorry, Bethany House.) But my response to finding it was telling: A bit of excitement piqued in me!
Shadow of the Mountain: Exodus is written by Cliff Graham, who is a former Army officer. He draws on his own military experience to write this fictional account of Caleb's life during and after the Israelites went into Canaan.
It's important for you to know that I thoroughly enjoy fictional novels that use historical, Scriptural accounts for their foundation. For example, I devoured the Acts of Faith series in very short order.
Also relevant is the fact that I'm not one to enjoy gratuitous violence; my tolerance for it in movies is quite low. In novels, if I encounter it, I will abandon a book immediately. I feel that a gripping story of heart-pounding intensity can be fashioned without describing exactly how one character killed the other. I just don't think a changed heart and renewed mind should revel in the destruction of another person, even if that person is fictional.
But I digress.
My point is that Shadow of the Mountain: Exodus is well-written historical fiction that doesn't abuse the Scriptural foundation on which is it built. Graham does a fantastic job of bringing the reader into a rough environment without making him cringe. The story alternates between third person and first person; I appreciate that the author allows Caleb to tell his own story, in his own words. At times, I felt like I was sitting in the tent with Caleb, my legs tucked beneath me, hanging on his every word. But if you want to know Caleb's (fictional) story, you'll have to buy the book. 🙂
This is an entertaining book! Thankfully it's the first in a series; I'm curious to see who Graham will bring to life next! (Book 2 is subtitled Wilderness. Sounds promising!)
If you read Shadow of the Mountain: Exodus, let me know what you think!
In exchange for my honest opinion, I received a free copy of this book from Bethany House.

Oil Industry Urges Debt Committee to Keep Tax Breaks
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones Newswires), Sep. 15, 2011
The oil and gas industry pushed back Thursday against President Barack Obama's proposals to pay for part of his $447 billion jobs plan by ending some tax breaks for energy companies.
Officials from the American Petroleum Institute, the oil and gas industry's main lobbying group, are working to convince members of the Congressional deficit-reduction committee that raising taxes on oil and gas companies might initially bring in additional government revenues, but would cost the industry jobs and profits over a longer period of time.
While higher taxes might generate more revenue for the government in their first five years, future projects might not get the green light under a new tax system, causing the industry to become less profitable, said Kyle Isakower, the organization's vice president of policy analysis.
The trade group estimated that raising oil and natural gas taxes would cost the industry 22,000 jobs and $223 billion in government revenue by 2030.
The organization has sent letters and requested in-person meetings with the 12 lawmakers on the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, and launched new grass-roots efforts and advertising campaigns, including in the home states of some deficit committee members, said Marty Durbin, API executive vice president.
Under the deal reached to raise the debt ceiling this summer, the bipartisan panel must find at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reductions over 10 years or automatic spending cuts are triggered.
The committee should not single out the oil and gas industry to pay for winnowing the federal budget deficit, Durbin said.
"We are more than happy to be part of the broader tax reform in which all of these provisions will be on the table," he said. "We shouldn't be singled out in a punitive way for the standard tax provisions we have for our business."
On Monday, Obama proposed paying for his jobs-creation bill by ending about $467 billion worth of tax breaks over 10 years for oil and gas companies, people making over $200,000, and hedge-fund managers.

Rockford Health Council seeks bids for small business health plan
Rockford Health Council seeks bids for small business health plan
The Health Councils Access to Medical Care Team has completed work on a new health benefit plan to offer to eligible small business owners in Winnebago County and is seeking bids from insurance companies. The 1999 Rockford Healthy Community Study, compiled by Health Systems Research, documented lack of insurance as a major issue in the Rockford area.
The new plan was crafted with the help of the Illinois Department of Insurance and project consultants from Health Management Associates of Chicago. Development costs are being funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Janet Corirossi of the Winnebago County Medical Society and Johanna Lund, Ph.D., of Health Care Consultants, Inc. co-chair the development process.
The Request for Proposals notice was released on June 14, 2002 to 13 prospective bidders. The new health benefit plan envisions offering basic health insurance coverage to small businesses in Winnebago County that employ between three and 25 workers. To be eligible for the plan, which should be priced for this market, firms must not have offered health insurance for 12 months prior to enrolling and must have a work force with a median wage of not more than $12 per hour.
The plan will feature a one-third monthly premium subsidy, which is designed to keep out-of-pocket premium costs low for both employers and employees of small companies. Our recent survey of 4,700 employers revealed that nearly half of all small companies in Winnebago County are not presently able to offer employer-based health insurance primarily due to high premium costs. For those that do offer insurance, premium costs increased an average of 26% last year alone.
If successfully developed, this plan will be a first for Illinois. Congressman Don Manzullo has secured a Small Business Administration grant to provide the premium subsidy for the first year of operation. We hope to launch the plan by December 1, 2002.
For more information, or to receive an RFP packet, contact the Rockford Health Council at 395-5701 or visit our website: www.rockfordhealth.org

Rate cuts mask sinister reality
The signal from the ECB that this year's series of interest rate increases is now at an end is good news for embattled Irish homeowners.
Having last raised rates as recently as two months ago it now looks as if the next move in ECB interest rates will be a reduction, possibly before the end of the year.
Unfortunately the bad news is that the ECB's interest rate U-turn has been prompted by renewed fears that the eurozone and world economy is facing into a renewed recession. If this does turn out to be the case then the demand for Irish exports, which has been one of the few bright spots in the Irish economy this year, will be hit.

A Guest Post By Kav Dadfar from Dadfar Photography
It?s almost as if Venice was built to be photographed and there?s no better time than the Venice Carnival. Follow these 6 simple tips and you?ll end up with some fantastic shots.
1. Pre-visualise your shot
Being able to compose your shot in your mind is one of the best ways to making your images better. I had an idea before I even arrived in Venice that I wanted to shoot an image with this composition ? a masked person looking at the camera through the mirror. I tried over several days to create this image using different models and finally captured this moment. So think ahead and try to compose your shot before you even lift your camera and your end result will be far more impressive.
2. Direct your model
The wonderful thing about the Venice Carnival is that it?s like being in a giant studio because you have a host of ready and willing models who will pose for your images. But rather than just snapping away, try to direct them to where you want them in order to obtain the perfect shot. For this photo I moved the woman away from the window on the right so that the shot would be balanced. Don?t worry if you don?t speak their language, usually a smile and hand movements does the trick.
3. Look beyond the obvious
It might sound obvious, but to make your images stand out you need to look at new ways of capturing popular places or objects. I started taking shots of a performer on a podium and realised that the composition looked ordinary, at which point I saw someone taking a picture of the performer on his phone. It took several attempts to time the shot correctly so that it was in focus but what I got was a much more interesting image than if I was to take a shot of just the performer on this podium.
4. Get up close
With all that colour and detail in the costumes, why waste any space showing the background? Photography allows us to really zoom in and capture details which we wouldn?t normally see. You?ll need a telephoto lens, but then you can zoom in and let the subject fill the entire frame and you?ll end up with a beautifully colourful image. Just make sure that the eyes are in focus and look sharp otherwise your image will look soft and unappealing.
5. Be patient
Unfortunately sometimes there?s no way around this. To get a great travel shot you need to allow yourself enough time to often revisit the same place again and again. I had walked past these two women numerous times over the course of the afternoon but the direction of the light was never right. They were in shadow the first few times I saw them and I wanted to frame them using the shadow cast from the arch of the columns. By late afternoon the light was just in the right place to get the perfect shot.
6. Head to the backstreets
Remember that there is more to Venice than St. Marks Square. During the Carnival there are celebrations everywhere, so head to the quieter backstreets to capture an alternative to the masks and costumes around the busy, famous landmarks. I was heading back from the Jewish Quarter when I heard music and dancing in one of the squares where I got some fantastic and alternative shots.

Spotting Scopes are sometimes essential to see beyond the distance your binoculars can reach. I use a tripod with my Bushnell spotting scope for balance when I want to see across the lake.One drawback to Spotting Scopes has always been their size and extra weight.
So what is a spotting scope?
Essentially a spotting scope is like a portable telescope for on the ground in the field use, mostly for wildlife observation. Though it functions more like binoculars than like a telescope in terms of its lenses and their function. It simply "sees" farther out, like 20x instead of 10x or higher.
Count on Swarovski to cut right through that and come out with a design that is not only excellent but suitable and lightweight enough to take with you on a backpacking trip.
Absolutely a Swarovski Spotting Scope is next on my wishlist.

THERE was a time when some of Melbournes grandest buildings were considered an embarrassment, little more than eyesores.
At the time of the Queen's visit in 1954, the city council passed an ordinance measure that required the removal of all ornate cast-iron verandas that decorated many Collins St premises. While some argued the verandas were dangerous as pedestrians could crash into them, mostly city planners viewed them as unfortunate reminders of our gold-rush past.
WHICH BUILDINGS SHOULD WE SAVE FROM THE SAME FATE? Tell us below.
LIFE IN MELBOURNE IN THE 1940s
PHOTO ESSAY: HOW WE LIVED IN THE 1930s
Historian Robyn Annear, who has chronicled the infamous Whelan the Wrecker demolition company, says it's "just good luck" that we hung on to some elements of our city such as the tram system, which was also viewed as hopelessly outdated.
"Flinders St station in its early years was seen as an eyesore, it looked like an overdone wedding cake," Ms Annear said.
The grandeur of the Menzies Hotel in William St was another architectural humiliation in the eyes of city planners who wanted to turn a city they saw as a large country town with a collection of hotels into a modern metropolis.
HOW WE ROCKED THE SWINGING 1960s
SHARPIES, FLARES & FLOODS: MELBOURNE IN THE 1970s
Whelan the Wrecker knocked down many of Melbourne's glorious old buildings until the 1970s. The company then sold recycled exterior and interior treasures from its Sydney Rd scrapyard.
Right up until the Regent Theatre came under threat in the late 1970s and before heritage legislation was bought in, buildings proclaimed jewels in the late 19th century were torn down to make way for more modern structures.
Prior to Whelan winning contract to demolish these buildings, many simply struggled to make money.
"The city couldn't sustain them. They were really just white elephants," Ms Annear said.
The Federal Coffee Palace in Collins St, for example, was a grandly built Temperance or alcohol-free venue with a large ornate ballroom and seven floors of accommodation, but trendier hotels such as the Southern Cross were far more popular with tourists and travellers.
Others like the Equitable Life Assurance building which was later known as the Colonial Mutual Life building in Collins St, were hard to rent out. The large rooms with high ceilings that were once the selling points of these office blocks, became very expensive to run and with fewer floors to offer for leasing than newer buildings, tenants were harder to find.
We take a look back at just some of the stories behind Melbourne's magnificent buildings that have been consigned to the history books.
LOCATION: Corner of Queen St and Collins St.
BUILT IN: Constructed from 1927-1929, but formally opened in 1930. It was one of the city's tallest buildings until the 1950s.
TORN DOWN: In 1969 the building was demolished, to make way for a modern office tower.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: A 20-storey office block.
LOCATION: 308-326 Collins St at the northwest corner with Elizabeth St.
BUILT IN: Constructed from 1892-1896 and used as an office building.
TORN DOWN: Used as an office building, this structure was demolished by Whelan the Wrecker in 1960.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: The most prominent building on site houses HCF health insurance and a NAB branch on the ground floor.
HIDDEN HISTORY: The large bronze statue that stood out front of the Colonial Mutual Life Building was preserved by Whelan's and now sits outside the Baillieu Library at Melbourne University.
Some of the carved stone used on this building, which lay in a paddock for years, now sits outside the Melbourne Museum.
LOCATION: 43-45 Elizabeth St
BUILT IN: Opened in 1889 with 12 storeys.
TORN DOWN: In 1981 the building was torn down to make way for a four-storey retail complex, after the owners refused to pay the $2m needed to ensure the building met the city fire code.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: Offices and retail space.
HIDDEN HISTORY: In 1889, this building was one of the highest in the world. It was 150 feet high and it wasn't until the 1950s when ICI House was built that any other structure in this town loomed over it. The reason? The fire brigade said it was too dangerous and it would be struggle to get its ladders to go so high if the building caught fire.
The site was known at one point as the API building as the site was built for the Australian Property Investment Co, yet the building was also known as the APA building.
Elevators were such a novelty when this building was created that many Melburnians visited the building just to use them, with a bit of help from the uniformed conductors.
The ornate elevators in this building were run in a hydraulic system, which required that wells be built as deep as the building was high in order for the pulleys to operate properly. Miners called in to dig the wells came across gold, but the work was dangerous as it was very close to the natural sea level.
LOCATION: 63 Collins St, at the Exhibition St corner.
BUILT IN: Designed by Oakden & Ballantyne and built from 1915-1917, this building was originally used for offices and medical practices.
TORN DOWN: In 1980 it was pulled down to make way for the Collins Place development.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: The Collins Place complex which is made up of offices, medical practices, boutiques, shops, cafes, the Kino cinema and the Sofitel.
LOCATION: 210 Lonsdale Street.
BUILT IN: Constructed from 1910-1916, this site was initially the The Melbourne Hospital, later the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and from 1946 it became The Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital.
TORN DOWN: The red brick building was demolished in parts, beginning in the 1990s with only the central block still left standing. It is used as the Queen Victoria Women's Centre.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: The QV building and shops.
HIDDEN HISTORY: Dr Constance Stone, the first woman to register as a medical practitioner in Australia in 1890, helped establish the hospital and worked there for many years. Dr Stone's younger sister, Grace Clara Stone, along with Margaret Whyte became the first two women to graduate with medical degrees from Melbourne University in 1891.
LOCATION: Corner of Exhibition and Bourke St.
BUILT IN: This building was designed by architects Reeds & Barnes and built from 1877-1879.
TORN DOWN: In 1959, the market and its shops were pulled down to make way for the Southern Cross Hotel.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: The Southern Cross Tower (SX1) building.
HIDDEN HISTORY: Shoppers at the Eastern Market could buy fresh produce as well as trinkets, and the market's range was very similar to that found on offer at the Queen Victoria Market.
Towards the end of this building's lifespan, it was open late on Saturdays and offered fortune telling and other sideshow-style acts in an effort to pull in more punters.
LOCATION: Southeast corner of Elizabeth and Collins St
BUILT IN: 1888 and used as a bank.
TORN DOWN: In 1939-1940 the building was knocked down to make way for the ES & A Bank.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: ANZ Bank
LOCATION: 140 William St, at the corner with Bourke St.
BUILT IN: 1867 as a hotel and coffee house with an extra two stories added in 1896.
TORN DOWN: In 1969, the building was torn down to make way for BHP Plaza.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: Offices as part of the 140 William St skyscraper.
HIDDEN HISTORY: Venues such as the Menzies were considered in the mid 20th century to be eyesores. For many, they were an embarrassing reminder that Melbourne was once little more than a large country town with a collection of grand hotels.
LOCATION: 555-589 Collins St
BUILT IN: Designed by architects William Pitt and Ellerker & Kilburn and built from 1888-1890. It was the city's most elegant temperance site which served tea and coffee. It had around 500 rooms over seven floors.
TORN DOWN: In 1973 it was demolished to make way for an office building.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: Several office blocks, formerly the site of the Health Commission building.
HIDDEN HISTORY: While this venue was designed as an alcohol-free establishment, in 1923 the owners acquired a liquor licence in an effort to increase its profitability.
At the time it was demolished in the early 1970s, its many rooms had long been empty as tourists and celebrities alike preferred to stay at newer more modern hotels. This one, like the Menzies, struggled financially in a time before older buildings were turned into boutique hotels and venues.
LOCATION: Corner of Elizabeth and Bourke Sts.
BUILT IN: Late 1880s.
TORN DOWN: In 1973 it was demolished to make way for a brick office block which has since also been pulled down.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: A three-storey retail and office complex.
LOCATION: 2-76 Bouverie St and Swanston St, Carlton
BUILT IN: The original structure was built in 1864, but there were several buildings on the site.
TORN DOWN: In 1989.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: A year ago a wall collapse at the site resulted in the deaths of Bridget and Alexander Jones and Dr Marie-Faith Fiawoo. A new tower is being constructed on the site.
LOCATION: South west corner of Bourke and William Sts.
BUILT IN: Finished in 1889 and used for offices and warehouses until AMP purchased the site in 1963.
TORN DOWN TO MAKE WAY FOR: AMP cleared the site in 1966 and built the AMP & St James Buildings in 1969.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: Offices and shops.
LOCATION: 76-78 Collins St.
BUILT IN: Originally built as part of a row of townhouses, the site was occupied from 1874 by Ogg & Co chemists until it was pulled down in 1976.
Several rounds of renovations both inside and out in the 1950s and 1960s sought to give the building and the shop a more modern appearance. For example the photo above shows the building after the 19th century cast-iron veranda was removed from the shopfront to give the building a modern facelift. It was later relocated to University House at Melbourne University.
TORN DOWN TO MAKE WAY FOR: In 1976 it was demolished as part of the Nauru House development. Much of the 19th century interior, including the ceiling and fittings and fixtures were saved and given to the Historic Buildings Preservation Council.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: Forms part of Nauru House's Collins St facing entrance.
HIDDEN HISTORY: The 1954 photograph above shows the chemist after its ornate 19th century iron veranda was removed as part of a citywide ordinance. The order was put in place as these unique decorative features were considered an embarrassment.
Yet the Illustrated London News' coverage of the royal visit featured a prominent photo of the Ogg & Co veranda with a caption about how it represented the city's sophisticated urban style.
LOCATION: Corner of Exhibition and Bourke Sts.
BUILT IN: In 1959 the Eastern Market was pulled down and in 1962 the Southern Cross Hotel was completed.
TORN DOWN TO MAKE WAY FOR: In 1999 it was pulled down to make way for a new office and retail space.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: The Southern Cross Tower (SX1) building sits on the current site.
LOCATION: 135 Flinders St
TORN DOWN TO MAKE WAY FOR: In 1996, demolish began on the site to make way for Federation Square.
SITE CURRENTLY USED FOR: Federation Square sits on the current site.

COMODO Internet Security Premium is an antivirus system that aims to protect your system, files and folders against online threats. It includes an antivirus module, combined with firewall features build an unbreakable shield.
COMODO Internet Security Premium offers to change your DNS servers to COMODO SecureDNS servers (it has a description), and to enable "Cloud Based Behavior Analysis" of unrecognized programs by submitting them to COMODO.
Updating takes several minutes, after which COMODO runs an automatic scan on your computer (which takes a really long time, but it's thorough). The GUI is very eye-catching and simple to follow.
COMODO seems to have a lot of features for each main function, but they are well organized. The antivirus section lets you run or schedule a scan (a full scan, on critical areas, or a spyware scan), configure the scanner settings, view antivirus events and quarantined items, but also submit suspicious files to COMODO to be further analyzed.
The firewall lets you view events and alerts that were possibly triggered by attacks on the computer, define a new trusted or blocked application, create a set of global rules, and configure various options.
Defense + has some interesting features, such as running a program in the Sandbox (a "safe haven" for untrusted, restricted, limited or partially limited applications), adding or removing files to and from your local safe executable database, and viewing unrecognized files ( which are automatically placed in the Sandbox until further notice).
Surprisingly enough, COMODO uses very little CPU and memory resources while scanning is active. But other system applications run slower.
To sum things up, COMODO Internet Security Premium is a brilliant security application, but that's only our opinion. You have to test it for yourself.
Here are some key features of "COMODO Internet Security Premium":
– Default Deny Protection (DDP):
– Only known and listed PC-safe files and applications are able to access your PC.
– Prevention-based protection:
– Firewall and Antivirus combine to stop viruses and malware before they enter the PC.
– Sandbox technology:
– The sandbox is a virtual operating environment for untrusted programs – ensuring viruses and other malicious software are completely isolated from the rest of your computer.
– Personalized protection alerts:
– Firewall quickly learns the rules you set for downloading software, and adjusts its alerts accordingly to fit your needs.
– Real-time access to updated virus definitions:
– Automatic updates mean greatest possible protection possible against zero-day threats.
– One-click virus scanning:
– Make sure your PC is clean with one simple button click.
– Uncluttered, user-friendly interface:
– Quickly navigate through the various parts of Firewall protection without getting lost.
– Thorough security "wizards":
– Preset security settings for simple point-and-click setup.
– Unique "slider" to easily change your current security level:
– Easily switch between presets to reflect your security preference at any given time.
– Exclusive access to Comodo's "safe-list":
– List of over two million known PC-friendly files and applications so safe files and apps are allowed to run.

We have a nice 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham for sale. This original California car was purchased new at Lou Elhers Cadillac in Los Angeles as a Bank of America corporate vehicle, and then sold in 1974 to a couple in Livermore, California. They babied this car and took wonderful care of it until selling it to its current collector-owner in 2006.
The motor was recently rebuilt at a cost of about $6,000. The previous owners rebuilt the transmission and repainted the car several years ago. The carburetor was rebuilt and the radiator replaced as well. The current owner added wig-wag lights and siren as well as a modern stereo inconspicuously installed in the glove box. The car starts runs and drives beautifully. It is responsive, tight and comfortable. All of the accessories are functioning. The interior is immaculate. The air conditioning was recently gone through and blows ice cold. This is a great old Cadillac Fleetwood that will continue to appreciate in value. This is truly a turn-key, drive-anywhere car!
Take a look at the many photos as well as the video section. This will make an excellent addition to any collection or serve well as a commercial vehicle for vintage tours.
I am easy to get a hold of on my cell.

London - Europe captain Colin Montgomerie welcomed Tiger Woods's inclusion in the US Ryder Cup team here on Tuesday after the golfing superstar was handed one of four wildcard berths on the American squad.
Montgomerie, who will lead Europe for the first time in next month's showdown at Celtic Manor, said the event would be "better" for the presence of Woods, who has struggled with form this year amid turmoil in his personal life.
US skipper Corey Pavin handed Woods a wildcard along with Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson and 21-year-old prodigy Rickie Fowler.
"Corey has used his four captain's picks to good effect as I knew he would," Montgomerie said.
"I am glad we now know the 12 men we will face at Celtic Manor. Like my European team, the American side has an excellent blend of youthful talent and I am delighted to see Tiger Woods amongst Corey's selections - the Ryder Cup is a better event with him in it.
"I wish the American team safe travels and we all look forward to welcoming them to Wales."
Woods has a patchy record in the Ryder Cup since making his debut in the event in 1997.
In five appearances he has been on the winning side just once. When he missed the last clash in Louisville following knee surgery, the Americans ended a run of three successive defeats.
This is one of the biggest sport events in the world. a team effeort and players picked on form and performance over a long time. The spirit is positive and the way the event and sport conducts itself is fantastic. there are many other sports that can take some lessons from this event and how to handle compitition and team spirit. this is a high presure situation and bring the best out of the players. Millions of $$ goes to charity as a result and communities see the positive impact. the same with the presidents cup. Well done to golf.
absolutely agree with James. One of the highlights from a viewing point of view. To watch the passion of the players that represent their country in amazing.

Writing Wednesdays
Return of the Foolscap Method
By Steven Pressfield | Published: August 21, 2013
My apologies to everyone who got psyched up, a few weeks ago, to learn more about the Foolscap Method (which I wrote about then in this space and promised to write about again), only to have me drop the ball completely. Sorry!
There's a reason. We've been working feverishly over the past few weeks to re-jigger this site to handle some new long-form material that we want to make available to our regular readers. That's what the FIRST LOOK ACCESS box is all about, above and to the right.
Bottom line: the Wednesday after next, we'll be ready. We'll start with one ten-minute video from me about the Foolscap Method, then another ten-minute video the next week—all building to a new long-form piece about Writing A First Novel. In other words, what it takes to go from unpublishable to publishable.
The piece is by me, from my own experience with my own first published novel, The Legend of Bagger Vance. Trust me, the Foolscap Method played a huge part in that breakthrough, and it can be invaluable for any writer (or artist or entrepreneur) struggling to get over that same hump.
The photo above is the Foolscap I used to write Bagger Vance. It's not the actual one. I lost that in a flood. But it's a reconstituted version that's probably a lot clearer.
In the first ten-minute video, I'll talk about the overall concept of the Foolscap Method. In the second, I'll get into this specific piece of Foolscap, line-by-line.
What is the Foolscap Method about? Basically, it's a way to kick your own ass, either at the very start of a project or when you're six months into something and you're so lost you can't remember where you started or where you're trying to go.
Shawn, who is my editor and one of the best in the business, has a system of narrative organization he calls the "Story Grid." He invented it himself. He's been using it on my stuff for years. I bring him a sprawling, shapeless mass of goo. He puts the Grid on it. Out comes a real book. A book with a beginning, a middle, and an end. A book that works. A book that sells.
It's amazing.
Shawn's Story Grid is the Einstein version of the Foolscap Method. Or, put another way, the Foolscap Method is the village-idiot version of the Story Grid. But they are both indispensable (they or some system like them) for anyone who aspires to move from unpublishable to publishable—or from published-already to really-really-good published—and whose name is not James Joyce.
Oh, P.S. In a few months we'll also be bringing out Shawn's Story Grid (with many extra goodies) here on this site in full-length format for everyone who has signed up for First Look Access above. More news as the date approaches.
Again, my apologies for the delay getting the Foolscap/First Novel pieces out sooner. I shoulda foolscapped 'em. But they're on their way. Wednesday after next, I promise.
