For the next 10 days Washington will be transported a half-century back in time to relive one of the most powerful and defining moments in American history.
The March on Washington brought more than a quarter-million people to the nation's capital on Aug. 28, 1963, for what many consider a key turning point in the civil-rights movement. The historic rally was highlighted by the "I Have a Dream" speech delivered by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
Few realized it at the time—King's speech did not even make the front page of The Washington Post the next day—but the calls for equal justice that echoed across the National Mall 50 years ago would be at least partially realized a year later with enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Now, in the face of some erosion of the landmark law and during a time of ongoing racial tensions in the United States, hundreds of thousands of marchers plan to return to Washington to commemorate the events of 1963 with not one, but two massive rallies on the Mall and a week-long series of services, discussions, and celebrations centered around the theme of "Jobs, Justice, and Freedom."
"The response to our call to commemorate the March on Washington and my father's 'I Have A Dream' speech has been overwhelming," said Bernice A. King, who was exactly five months old when her father gave his best-known speech. "We expect hundreds of thousands of people to join us in the nation's capital for this historic event, and many more to take part worldwide in their communities."
King, who now heads the family's King Center in Atlanta, has been the driving force behind the commemoration events that kick off in Washington on Wednesday with a worship service at the Mt. Airy Baptist Church just north of the Capitol.
But since the initial organizing meeting about a year ago in Atlanta, attended by about 30 civil-rights leaders, at least 200 people have been working steadily to plan a series of events that would appropriately mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, said King Center spokesman Steve Klein.
The biggest event in terms of participants will be the "Realize the Dream March and Rally" to be held Saturday on the National Mall. Organized by Martin Luther King III, King's oldest son, and the Rev. Al Sharpton, leader of the National Action Network based in Harlem, "it is going to be huge," Klein said. "Nobody knows" how many people will show up, but it will almost certainly be in the hundreds of thousands, he said.
Participants will gather at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday morning "to stand together against the recent attack on voter rights, against Stand Your Ground and racial profiling, and to continue to raise awareness on unemployment, poverty, gun violence, immigration, gay rights and other critical issues affecting our nation," the National Action Network said in a statement about the rally.
On Friday the "Global Freedom Festival" begins in West Potomac Park and will continue through the weekend. The festival is sponsored by the King Center and groups involved in the 1963 march, including the NAACP, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the National Urban League.
The main event will be the "Let Freedom Ring Commemoration and Call to Action Ceremony" at the Lincoln Memorial on the afternoon of Aug. 28. President Obama will speak from the same spot where King gave the "I Have a Dream" speech. He will be joined by former Presidents Carter and Clinton and a host of political and cultural leaders, including actor Jamie Foxx and Lynda Johnson Robb, daughter of the president who signed the Civil Rights Act.
Some members of Congress are expected to participate in the week of events, even though the August recess has most lawmakers away from Washington. The Congressional Black Caucus held a commemoration of the March on Washington before recess began and many of its members plan to participate in Saturday's march, said CBC spokeswoman Ayofemi Kirby.

text: Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/28/plymouth_nurse/ A Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) hearing yesterday considered the case of a Plymouth nurse who punted clean and soiled underwear on eBay while on duty at the city's Derriford Hospital, the local Herald reports. Sheena McMillan, 24, in April 2007 set up a listing entitled 'naughty knicks' with the username Sheena66c. It read: "Hi there, the options are for you to own clean knickers £20, worn knickers £23 and for those smelling of sex, i.e. just worn after sex £25. Happy bidding." McMillan used her work email account to administer the auction, and the text of the listing triggered the NHS Trust's alert system which notified admins of a breach of the trust's policy of "not sending racist or obscene material". Hospital IT security operatives probed her inbox and found the original eBay listing. Sarah Page, for the NMC, told the hearing: "The email had a subject heading 'naughty knicks' and referred to the sale by Ms McMillan of her clean and worn underwear. There were more inappropriate messages. A number of eBay users negotiating for the sale of those items and also an email from eBay withdrawing the items as it breached their policy as well. "Clearly Ms McMillan was using her work email address, one that was part of the Trust's network. Her title was also included as part of the address, so it was evident that she was a staff nurse working at the hospital." McMillan, who was not present or represented at the hearing, has admitted that she "used her work e-mail address to advertise items of a sexual nature for sale on eBay" and to "sending and receiving sexually explicit e-mails on her work address relating to the sale of sexually explicit items on eBay". She denied, however, that her "fitness to practice is impaired". McMillan's fate was not decided yesterday, since panel chair Mary Elliot agreed to halt the hearing after learning of her "serious, unresolved health issues" dating back to April 2007. Elliot said: "Having heard the facts, which clearly have the potential to bring the nursing profession into disrepute, we nevertheless feel in the interests of justice and fairness a striking off order would not be proportionate in this case. We consider that the health issues disclosed in this case merit further investigation and an up to date report, to which we expect the registrant to consent, is necessary for a full and fair determination of this case." She concluded: "We are therefore of the opinion that this case would be better dealt with by the health committee, in the knowledge that should the health committee conclude that we are wrong about the health issues, that committee can transfer the case back to this committee for a resumed hearing."

set the current proof-checker theory
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS
Example: (in-theory (union-theories (theory 'minimal-theory) '(true-listp binary-append)))If the argument is not supplied, then this command sets the current proof-checker theory (see below for explanation) to agree with the current ACL2 theory. Otherwise, the argument should be a theory expression, and in that case the proof-checker theory is set to the value of that theory expression.
General Form: (in-theory &optional atom-or-theory-expression)
The current proof-checker theory is used in all calls to the ACL2 theorem
prover and rewriter from inside the proof-checker. Thus, the most recent
in-theory instruction in the current
state-stack has an effect in the
proof-checker totally analogous to the effect caused by an
in-theory hint
or event in ACL2. All
in-theory instructions before the last are
ignored, because they refer to the current ACL2 logical world, not to the
existing proof-checker theory. For example:
ACL2 !>:trans1 (enable bar) (UNION-THEORIES (CURRENT-THEORY :HERE) '(BAR)) ACL2 !>:trans1 (CURRENT-THEORY :HERE) (CURRENT-THEORY-FN :HERE WORLD) ACL2 !>Thus
(in-theory (enable bar)) modifies the current theory of the current
ACL2 world. So for example, suppose that
foo is disabled outside the
proof checker and you execute the following instructions, in this order.
(in-theory (enable foo)) (in-theory (enable bar))Then after the second of these,
bar will be enabled in the proof-checker,
foo will be disabled. The reason is that
(in-theory (enable bar)) instructs the proof-checker to modify the
current theory (from outside the proof-checker, not from inside the
proof-checker) by enabling
Note that
in-theory instructions in the proof-checker have no effect
outside the proof-checker's interactive loop.
If the most recent
in-theory instruction in the current state of the
proof-checker has no arguments, or if there is no
instruction in the current state of the proof-checker, then the
proof-checker will use the current ACL2 theory. This is true even
if the user has interrupted the interactive loop by exiting and
changing the global ACL2 theory. However, if the most recent
in-theory instruction in the current state of the proof-checker had
an argument, then global changes to the current theory will have no
effect on the proof-checker state.

The following is a news release from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries:
Today the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced the recreational fishing season for red snapper in state and federal waters will close at 12:01 AM on July 24, and will remain closed until June 1, 2011. LDWF chose to enact the same action for Louisiana waters to enhance the effectiveness and enforceability of NOAA regulations and to ensure the recreational red snapper quota is not exceeded in the 2010 fishing year.
All red snapper must be landed and on shore no later than 12:01 a.m. July 24, no possession on the water after that time is allowed.
NOAA continues to monitor the recreational catch statistics for the Gulf of Mexico, should additional fish be available for recreational harvest under the established quota, an additional season could be announced in federal and state waters.
Approximately 97 percent of all red snapper landed in Louisiana are caught in federal waters.
Secretary Barham was authorized by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission at their January, 2010 meeting to change or modify opening and closing dates for the recreational red snapper season in Louisiana waters to comply with changes or modifications in season dates in federal waters. This action ensures that regulations in state waters will be consistent with regulations of NMFS for federally managed waters.

Xbox Live Indie Games rating rules tightened following abuse
Following accusations of malicious mass down-voting of Xbox Live Indie Games titles, Microsoft has limited rating to Live Gold members.
Following the upset when it was alleged that fans of College Lacrosse 2011 attempted to boost its visibility on Xbox Live Indie Games by maliciously down-rating other titles, Microsoft has tightened the rules. While anyone who registered a free account could rate XBLIG titles before, this is now restricted to Xbox Live Gold subscribers.
"By implementing this change," Microsoft said, "we believe our customers will experience more consistent ratings and a significantly reduced potential for abuse across the entire Xbox catalog."
Microsoft notes that it investigated rolling back the dodgy votes, but "determined it will not be possible to do this." One cannot imagine that the developers whose games plummeted down the ratings chart will be too pleased with this.
The company also says it is "investigating users who may have violated their user agreement during this series of events." It may result in banishment from Xbox Live, removing any games they've released, and blocking them from posting games in the future.
While the change will doubtless hugely reduce abuse, it'll also adversely affect Xbox Live Silver members who genuinely do play the games they rate. One sensible alternative solution suggested by the XBLIG community was to only allow people to rate games they own; only Microsoft knows why this wasn't the solution chosen.

When breast milk is no longer enough to meet the nutritional needs of the infant, complementary foods should be added to the diet of the child. The transition from exclusive breastfeeding to family foods, referred to as complementary feeding, typically covers the period from 6 to 18-24 months of age, and is a very vulnerable period. It is the time when malnutrition starts in many infants, contributing significantly to the high prevalence of malnutrition in children under five years of age world-wide. WHO estimates that 2 out of 5 children are stunted in low-income countries.
Complementary feeding should be timely, meaning that all infants should start receiving foods in addition to breast milk from 6 months onwards. It should be adequate, meaning that the complementary foods should be given in amounts, frequency, consistency and using a variety of foods to cover the nutritional needs of the growing child while maintaining breastfeeding.
Foods should be prepared and given in a safe manner, meaning that measures are taken to minimize the risk of contamination with pathogens. And they should be given in a way that is appropriate, meaning that foods are of appropriate texture for the age of the child and applying responsive feeding following the principles of psycho-social care.
The adequacy of complementary feeding (adequacy in short for timely, adequate, safe and appropriate) not only depends on the availability of a variety of foods in the household, but also on the feeding practices of caregivers. Feeding young infants requires active care and stimulation, where the caregiver is responsive to the child clues for hunger and also encourages the child to eat. This is also referred to as active or responsive feeding.
WHO recommends that infants start receiving complementary foods at 6 months of age in addition to breast milk, initially 2-3 times a day between 6-8 months, increasing to 3-4 times daily between 9-11 months and 12-24 months with additional nutritious snacks offered 1-2 times per day, as desired.
Inappropriate feeding practices are often a greater determinant of inadequate intakes than the availability of foods in the households. WHO has developed a protocol for adapting feeding recommendations that enables programme managers to identify local feeding practices, common problems associated with feeding, and adequate complementary foods. The protocol builds upon available information and proposes household trials to test improved feeding recommendations. WHO recommends that the protocol be used to design interventions for improved complementary feeding, and is included as part of adaptation process of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness strategy.
Research has shown that caregivers require skilled support to adequately feed their infants. Guidelines for appropriate feeding are included as part of the Infant and Young Child Feeding counselling course, the Complementary feeding counselling course, the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness guidelines and training course for first-level health workers. WHO has developed the guide "Complementary feeding: Family Foods for breastfed children" that gives more detailed guidance for health workers on how to support complementary feeding.
The Global Consultation on Complementary Feeding, convened by WHO 10-13 December 2001, has resulted in updated recommendations for appropriate feeding practices and guidance for programme managers to put these into action. The background papers that informed this consultation are published in the Special Supplement of the Food and Nutrition Bulletin 2003; 24(1) and provide an update to the WHO/UNICEF publication Complementary feeding of young children in developing countries: a review of current scientific knowledge, 1998, WHO/NUT/98.1.
The Guiding Principles for Complementary feeding of the Breastfed Child (2003) developed by the Pan American Health Organization, summarize the current scientific evidence for complementary feeding and are intended to guide policy and programmatic action at global, national and community levels, while the Guiding Principles for feeding the non-breastfed child 6-24 months of age (2005) provide guidance for feeding children who are not receiving breast-milk.
Based on new knowledge, WHO in collaboration with partners developed updated indicators on infant and young child feeding, including complementary feeding As a result there are three publication available: definitions, measurement and country profiles.

Christopher "Chris" Coleman (born 10 June 1970 in Swansea, Glamorgan) is a Welsh football manager and former player.
As a child he grew up a keen supporter of Liverpool FC - his favourite player being compatriot Emlyn Hughes
As a player, he usually played in defence, while also occasionally appearing as a forward. He won 32 caps playing for Wales. As a manager, Coleman attained a respectable ninth place finish in the Premier League in 2004 as the manager of Fulham, who had been tipped for relegation. After leaving Fulham, Coleman was appointed manager of Real Sociedad, but resigned in January 2008, citing differences with the incoming president. In February 2008, he returned to England to manage Coventry City, but he was sacked in May 2010 following a disastrous run of results.

Everything is bigger in Texas, including bird-hunting trucks
SAN ANTONIO — Some look like a military vehicle ready for war. Others appear to be a slew of different vehicles welded together to create a sort of four-wheeled Frankenstein. But all of them are tricked out rides that Texas hunters use to hunt down quail, in style.
Photos of the wild-looking creations are featured in a new photo book titled "Texas Quail Rigs" from Houston photographer Lokey, who debuted his work at the Meredith Long Art Gallery the Bayou City last week.
The book, which runs $85 or $600 for a limited edition, features more than 120 vehicles from about 50 ranches in the Lone Star State, many in South Texas. The idea came from his father, who is a hunter and teaches marksmanship, he said.
CarPro Approved
"I've done something that hasn't been done before," Lokey said. "If I was to die tomorrow, I'd feel good that I've added something to the history books."
Lokey, 42, said he raised $100,000 over three years to put the project together. Some of that came from the Greater Houston Quail Coalition, which a portion of the book's proceeds benefit.
The photographer also participated in a photo festival in Houston during the last week and says he has "good leads" from galleries in Mexico and Russia to show off his work.
He added that he'd love to come to San Antonio, particularly the Briscoe Western Art Museum, at some point.
Lokey also said that he hopes to raise awareness of a quail population that has dropped more than 80 percent over the last 10 years. Hunting the bird has also declined, he said, which is unfortunate because in many families it is a tradition and means of bonding generations.
Hunting season for the mid-sized birds in Texas is the last Saturday in October to the last Sunday in February, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife.

Over the last week here, more than 2,200 bands and artists performed more than 3,000 gigs in music halls, bars and even hotel lobbies. And that's just the official number from South By Southwest. Unofficial performances throughout the city numbered in the hundreds more. While most of the acts were up-and-coming and lesser-known, big names such as Iggy Azalea and Miley Cyrus made surprise appearances. As the week came to an end, lingering rain showers dampened outdoor venues, too.
Nashville band Pujol rocked the late shift Saturday night at Red Eyed Fly taking the indoor stage at midnight. They broke out a rock version of Drunk in Love and new song Circle that suggested to the standing listeners that it may have "been a real bad day, but I can turn it around."
South Korean punk rock godfathers No Brain were among the last performers inside the Austin Convention Center on Saturday. Lead singer Bulldaegal took seriously his job of inciting a sluggish 1 p.m. crowd telling them their first attempt at cheering didn't match the band's previous South By Southwest audiences.
Their furious set paid homage to the Ramones and the Clash with short, straight-ahead rock songs and a dalliance with reggae. Drummer Hyoonga took the microphone to sing a song devoted to soju, a Korean alcoholic beverage. A cover of Social Distortion's Bad Luck broke down any language barriers.
Australian mood rockers The Church performed a short set Friday night at Buffalo Billiards, but apparently the logistics weren't to singer Steve Kilbey's liking. "We're so pressed for time we have no time for my hilarious stage banter, so we are just going to press on with our songs," he said. The set ended with a clamorous crescendo that felt as if the band was trying to make the room spontaneously combust.
After earlier appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which sets up residence here for a week during the festival, Brad Paisley played an energetic late-night set Monday in the Samsung Lounge. Kimmel took the stage with a harmonica to duet with Paisley on a cover of Huey Lewis and the News' I Want A New Drug.

A very silly video about a very important player.
Now that was tasty. Video features clumsy celebratory run down the stairs.
Dear dear. What a night. Here are a couple of written pieces in reaction to a truly awful result:
- The Mirror: 'Arsenal's Champions League failure is down to attitude, not ability'
- Unibet: 'Why Arsenal can't afford to be sniffy about the Europa League'
All very familiar. On to the next one: Manchester United on Sunday.
What's that? A blog post. I know, I know, I've been absent. Neglectful, even. But a lot's gone on. I broke my arm, for one. I'm going to keep trotting out that excuse until it enters myth.
So here it is: a first post of the season on Gunnerblog.com. Feels appropriate really: after Alexis and Arsenal burst into life at Leicester, it feels like our 2015/16 campaign has finally started.

Some years ago, we did media alerts when we were going to be on national radio or TV shows. We generally don't do that now because we are, you know, blase. But tonight I am making an exception. Tomorrow morning at 6:30 Eastern time, 5:30 Central, I will be on Bill Bennett's Morning In America radio show to talk about events in Wisconsin and the Left's bizarre attack on the Koch family–as though they, somehow, were the story. I figure, if I have to get up at 5:00 in the morning, I want as many PL readers as possible listening in!
So, please find a station where you can listen to Bill's show either on the radio or on the web, and settle in with a big pot of coffee. It should be fun!

Get a Hot Yoga Body: The Yoga Booty Workout
James Farrell
About This Workout
The term yoga butt is no joke — just check out the downward dogs all around you in most any class. "Yoga lets you sculpt, mold, and tone your lower body using just your body weight," notes celebrity yoga instructor Hilaria Baldwin, the creator and model of the six backside boosters on the next slides. And the perks don't stop there, says Baldwin, who famously helped her husband, Alec, get into shape. "These strengthening moves stretch you too, so you're elongating your muscles at the same time that you're toning them," she explains. Get a lift of your own by doing the exercises for just 20 minutes three days a week.

I have Frozen Cortex on Steam on Linux (Debian jessie on kernel 3.16.7), and I'm trying to play multiplayer with a friend. When I first installed the game, we managed to play a couple of games, and I also played against a few single player matches to get a feel for it.
Then, suddenly, joining a multiplayer match to play my first round, started crashing the game.
I also tried to verify the game cache through Steam, and tried again, with the exact same result.
These are the last lines in my ~/.local/share/FrozenCortex/console.log:
I tried the game on Windows, and it worked perfectly.
Code: Select all
GFXGLShader::initShader - Error compiling shader!
Program shaders/common/lighting/advanced/gl/pointLightP.glsl: Fragment shader failed to compile with the following errors:
ERROR: 15:419: error(#101) Macro redefined: SHADOW_DUALPARABOLOID_SINGLE_PASS
ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors. No code generated
Can anyone help me fix this?
EDIT: I just tried single player to see if the problem happens there as well. Curiously, in 5 attempts to play a single match versus AI, the game crashed 3 times. I checked the log after one of them, and I found the exact same error.
EDIT #2: I'm running fglrx 1:15.9-4~deb8u1 (ATi's proprietary driver), and my graphics card is a Radeon HD 7970 (R9 280X).

BRANDON — The Compass Music and Arts Center honored its past earlier this summer with an emotional opening of its exhibit dedicated to the Brandon Training School.
Building K of the former Brandon Training School, which ceased operations in 1993, now houses Compass, which officially opened in June after almost two years of construction and preparation. The July 27 opening of the permanent exhibit of historical information and memorabilia marked the 20th anniversary of the closing of the training school and honored the building's past.

When I first got this Sunscreen in the post, I didn't rush to open it – didn't look very exciting, I sort of forgot about it for a while.
is apparently excellent for mature skins and especially good if you need a SPF post surgical procedure. This doesn't apply to me *touch wood* at the moment, but it didn't stop me from giving it a test run.
Even though this is a cream texture, it needs a shake before use. It has no fragrance (good).
For £30 you get 85g (how much is that in ML? I don't know but its a generous sized tube).
Like I said, its not the most exciting looking product and after using the luxury of La Mer and the funky Green Coffee SPF, I wasn't too bothered about this product.
But wow – what a fantastic sunscreen:
For one thing its a cream which I do prefer for a sunscreen (but I also don't want it to look greasy – yeah I want everything).
This Sunscreen from Skinmedica sinks in like a DREAM.
I swear, I remember going on a beach holiday (a long time ago!) and rubbing this oily, white crap all over my legs, giving up and just walking around like person who has no idea how to rub cream into their skin. A baby, basically.
Not so with Skinmedica. This sinks in like a DREAM, it takes seconds to disappear into the skin with absolutely no residue or whitish cast.
Ta da!
Face or Body is fine, I would use this anywhere to be honest. Its a big-ish tube though so its not necessarily the first one I'd carry around with me.
Texture: 5/5
Finish: 5/5
Protection: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: I can't deny the fact that in the dull grey tube lies a quiet but brilliant sunscreen which high protection and is essentially invisible when applied, not disturbing anything else on my face.
At £30 its not that cheap, but there is a fair amount in there to last all summer. Its also fragrance free which is egg-cellent.

Our rundown of essential holiday experiences for kids features farms, festivals, wild watery adventures and even a spot of digger driving. As ever, share your own child-friendly holiday ideas below.
Top British holidays for children - part one
Getting wet and wild on the Pembrokeshire coast
There are family days out that involve being a spectator or sitting down for a ride. And then there are family days out with Preseli Venture. The enthusiastic team at this outdoor adventure specialist have cooked up an adrenaline-packed day for families that's all about getting active, getting wet and getting fully immersed in the natural environment. Pick two out of three activities – coasteering, sea kayaking and surfing – then don wet suits and take the plunge to explore the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast.
What makes the whole day sheer joy is that the instructors take on the responsibility of the tuition, kit and safety, leaving families with the freedom to focus on having fun together. All trips set out from Preseli Venture's impressive Eco Lodge (look no further if you're looking for cosy family-friendly accommodation), and if there are any family members who don't fancy the adrenaline hit – or haven't yet reached the minimum age of ten – there's plenty to do nearby: stroll to the beach at Aber Mawr, drive out to Strumble Head lighthouse, cycle country lanes or visit dinky St David's, Britain's smallest city.
Preseli Venture, Parcynole Fach, Mathry, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, www.preseliventure.co.uk.
Having a Eureka! moment in Halifax
As you approach Eureka!, the only purpose-built children's discovery centre in the UK, the echoes of The Wizard of Oz are unmistakeable. You follow the yellow brick road and leave behind Kansas-monochrome Halifax for the vivid colours of Oz. Once inside, it's all primary colours. The kids are primary, too – Eureka! is designed specifically for children up to the age of 11.
As you enter, to the right Archimedes waits to be dunked in his bath. Our Global Garden provides an early highlight, ranging across six world environments, from the jungle to the arctic; at either end, toddlers' sections encourage under-5s to roam and explore. In Living & Working Together, a role-play area teaches older kids how to get to grips with grown-up life – in the bank (Halifax of course) they can take cash out of an ATM, sit on a chair made of a million pounds (not, alas, real notes) and dodge the alarms in the bank vaults. A hundred other hands-on activities crowd the M&S shop, a post office, a garage. Everything – phone box, lift, front door – is used to elucidate and explain and educate.
Eureka! The National Children's Museum, Discovery Road, Halifax, West Yorkshire, www.eureka.org.uk.
Making a date for panto in Glasgow
With spectacular colourful costumes, beautiful princesses, valiant heroes, raucous sing-alongs, slapstick and communal shouting, pantomime is undoubtedly fabulous no-holds-barred entertainment for kids, with even the smallest and shyest shedding their inhibitions to boo the baddies, applaud the goodies, laugh heartily as custard pies shoot back and forth across the stage, and belt out songs with the Pantomime Dame. The fast-talking Dame – invariably a man despite the name – rules over this particular brand of chaos, with the most outrageous outfits and by far the best and funniest lines.
There are no better fast-talkers than Glaswegians, which makes the city a great venue for panto fun at Christmas. For the traditional panto experience, head to the King's Theatre, where classics such as Snow White, Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk will introduce the nippers to both frolicsome entertainment and fairy-tale archetypes. Meanwhile, the much-loved Citizens Theatre, the second oldest working theatre in the UK and a venue with a strong reputation for innovation and diversity, has refined its panto tradition into what they prefer to term a Christmas Show.
The King's Theatre, 297 Bath St, is at www.ambassadortickets.com while The Citizens Theatre, 119 Gorbals St, can be found at citz.co.uk.
Wallowing around Jimmy's Farm, Ipswich
Who would've thought it possible – a derelict farm revived, hundreds of pigs raised, a range of food products, numerous TV shows, a book, a butterfly house and a restaurant, all within seven years. The amount of work that has gone into Jimmy Doherty's farm since he bought it in 2003 is staggering, and still he builds and expands and adds. Once you've arrived, checked out the farm shop and herb garden and had a snack in the Field Kitchen, head through into the heart of the farm via the "Nature Trail", where the fun really begins. Well-thought-through fun. With pigs.
Over 400 wallow and stamp in knee-deep mud – their pens stretch into the distance and each of the rare-breed beauties has a good-sized plot to themselves. From the lookout point, kids can watch Essex pigs, Gloucestershire Old Spots and Saddlebacks, and if it's the right time of year, plenty of piglets run and jump and fight and squeal. There's more: Guinea pigs live in grand Lilliputian style in their village of brightly painted houses, and the pygmy goats and Jacob sheep are reliably curious about anyone who wanders close to their pens; ferrets peep out of hollowed-out logs, and on the chicken safari, rare-breed poultry frantically try to avoid the advances of curious toddlers.
Jimmy's Farm, Pannington Hall Lane, Wherstead, Ipswich, Suffolk, www.jimmysfarm.com.
Surviving mud and mayhem at Shambala Festival
Pitch your tent, pull on some wellies, don a pair of fluorescent tights, a set of wings and some facial hair, and you're all set for four days of unabashed wackiness at Britain's most family-friendly festival. Set in a secret location and with a line-up of undisclosed musical acts, Shambala remains small in scale, free of corporate sponsorship, strongly ecologically sound and retains an inclusive ethos that embraces both families and serious partiers.
The organizers of Shambala excel at pleasing everyone, with adult stuff that pleases kids – radical circus performances, thumping dance music, site-specific art – and kids' stuff that pleases adults – hula hooping, crazy golf, even advanced tree climbing (with nets and pullies to help you reach new heights). Still, most families with kids under 8 find themselves hanging out in the children's area, where they can get busy with messy play at Artful Splodgers, baking and straw flower-making at Biddie's Bingo Hall, and enjoy the clownish antics of the performers in the Big Top.
Find out more at www.shambalafestival.org.
Losing yourself in Bewilderwood, Norfolk
Welcome to Bewilderwood, a homespun fantasy world that is one of Britain's most unusual attractions for children. Based on a series of books by local author Tom Blofeld, it's the reedy, watery environment of the Broads brought to life for kids – both a land of make-believe based on the characters in the books and an overgrown adventure playground full of rope bridges and ladders, zip wires and rickety tree houses. You get around by way of marshland walkways and forest paths, and a boat takes you around a tiny broad where Mildred the lisping vegetarian crocklebog blows water at you.
Its mixture of spooky fantasy and adventure has something for kids of all ages, from toddlers to daredevil teenagers, and there's a wittiness to the whole thing that is refreshing and fun.
Bewilderwood, Horning Rd, Hoveton, Norfolk, www.bewilderwood.co.uk.
Driving your own JCB at Diggerland, Devon
Isn't driving a JCB every boy's dream? Well it's not just boys of all ages clamouring to get behind the wheel of construction machinery at Diggerland Devon: the girls and even grannies and grandpas are flocking for a piece of the action. The series of muddy fields that make up Diggerland may not be a beauty hotspot. But to any kid for whom messing about in tractors, dumping some dirt and excavating terrain is just about a perfect day out, it is a simple and brilliant invention.
There are JCBs, tractors, dumper trucks, giant diggers, dirt diggers and more to get behind the wheel of. But even then the fun is far from over. Get high in the flying bucket of the Spindizzy, hop on the Dig-a-Round and take in a bird's-eye view from the vertiginous Sky Shuttle. Young drivers can legally joyride as they navigate a 4WD police car around a bumpy course, while pre-teens can drive battery-powered Land Rovers.
Diggerland Devon, Verbeer Manor, Cullompton, Devon, www.diggerland.com.
Falling into Oblivion at Alton Towers
Imagine yourself as an astronaut during the launch: facing upwards, strapped into a fire-breathing space shuttle, with 3Gs of force squeezing down on every fibre of your body. You'd probably be terrified. Reverse this situation so you're facing downwards, and then pile on another 1.5Gs of force, and you're some way to describing how it feels to ride Oblivion, the world's first vertical roller coaster.
Admittedly, the ride can't compete with a space shuttle's 17,500mph top speed. But you don't need any training to enjoy it. All you have to do is join the queue and begin preparing yourself for a 150ft drop into a steaming black hole. Eyes open or eyes closed, that drop feels incredible. For the first second or two of carefree euphoria, you'll surge straight down towards the earth. Then you'll tunnel below the surface on a terrifyingly gloomy section of track, before emerging into the daylight for a 190-degree banked turn that makes your skin rumble with delight. Right then, even without a space shuttle, you'll feel like a hero.
Alton Towers, Staffordshire (www.altontowers.com) is open daily from mid-March to early Nov.
Exploring pools of bright water on Marloes Sands, Pembrokeshire
Whether you're hiking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or simply dipping into southwest Wales for the day, you'll have seen plenty of fine national park scenery by the time you arrive at Marloes Sands, not far from the country's westernmost point. Even so, this glorious sweep of silver-beige sand will take your breath away. So generous in extent that you'll scarcely believe your luck, Marloes Sands is a beach for kids to cartwheel, hopscotch and run until their hearts pound as loudly as the waves. Utterly unspoilt, it's also perfect for swimming on warm, sunny days.
Peering into a rock pool feels rather like gazing at an underwater miniature garden, bright with fronds of seaweed. The deeper pools, replenished by each tide, are always busy with creatures that need to stay submerged to survive; look carefully enough and you may see tiny shrimps and gobies, shore crabs, sea spiders and insect-like sea slaters. Equipped with a net, a bucket, a magnifying glass and an identification chart, kids can count up the species, scoring points as they go. If they're competitive, they'll want to check the periwinkle shells, just in case there's a hermit crab tucked inside – definitely worth a bonus score.
Discovering Tallulah, Tudors and tractors at Tatton Park
With one Mr G. Osborne as its MP and a resident population of the bejewelled and perma-tanned, Tatton, in leafy Cheshire, is among the UK's wealthiest constituencies. At its heart sits Tatton Park, a vast estate that's one of the greatest days out in the northwest.
The herds of deer roaming the 1000-acre park will make children's heads swivel on the drive through the gates, while the mansion and formal gardens are glorious, but the big attractions for kids are the well-designed Adventure Playground, with over thirty rides, and the Home Farm, an authentic 1930s working farm with Rare Breeds Accreditation. Here children can stroke, feed, groom and cuddle an assortment of goats, hens, ducks, pigs, horses and donkeys and visit a period cottage and a working pottery. Stars of the show are Tallulah the massive Tamworth pig, Blossom the Clydesdale and Rosie the Red Poll, each with adorable offspring. Any child with even a vague interest in animals will love it, and if they've fallen for a particular creature they can revisit/stalk it online, thanks to the farm's webcams, or even adopt one of the Big Three.
Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire, www.tattonpark.org.uk.

Media and popular culture permeate nearly all our waking time on Earth.
The unrelenting exposure dominates our perceptions of reality, the formation of our personal values, our attitudes and behaviors, and our definitions of self and society.
Already the most powerful educating agent in society today, mass media is extending its influence at a speed that might blind us.
It will be important for professional practitioners and consumers alike not only to "know their stuff" in this new world, but also to be "good people," ethically aware of their personal responsibilities for each other and the world.

Corn growers may now use Instinct Nitrogen Stabilizer from Dow AgroSciences for sidedress nitrogen applications up to the V6 growth stage. Dow just received EPA approval to use Instinct in this manner.
"This new application window provides growers with an additional opportunity to protect even more of their nitrogen applications, all the way up through sidedress," says John Demerly, portfolio marketing leader, Dow AgroSciences. "Growers can make more nitrogen available longer, reducing the chances of nitrogen deficiency late into the season, which can impact yield. And with our current corn prices, every bushel protected can add to the bottom line."
Many growers apply nitrogen as a sidedress application with UAN, urea and liquid manure, he says. This extended application time for Instinct gives growers the ability to inhibit nitrification, which occurs through leaching or denitrification. When incorporated with the nitrogen application, Instinct treats the soil within the root zone to ensure nitrogen is available during key stages of corn growth, which can lead to greater yield potential.
Last year, Instinct obtained section 24(C) Special Local Needs Registration in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, permitting sidedress applications in those states. Since its introduction in August 2009, growers have used Instinct to protect nitrogen at the root zone.
According to data from the 2011 Purdue University Crop Cost & Return Guide, almost 35% of growing expenses are related to fertilizer. Instinct can help to enable the applied nitrogen to be more efficient and cost-effective by reducing nitrification.

I Want One of Those: Single-Firefighter Aerial Ladder Operation
Every fire station could use this: a sensing device attached to the front of a fire truck ladder that measures distance from a building and relays the information to a computer below. The system makes it possible for a single operator to position a rescue ladder without the use of a spotter, an advantage during smoky, noisy emergencies. The Norwich, Vt., fire department gave it a successful test run at MacLean Engineering Sciences Center at the end of fall term. Inventors Frances Davenport '13, John Mascari '13, Noam Rosenthal '13, Maya Viavant '12, and Brynne Weeks '12 earned the Phillip R. Jackson Award for best performance in ENGS 21: "Introduction to Engineering." Their teaching assistant was Emily Mason-Osann '11.

I tried asking two questions on MSO within 10 minutes of each other, and was blocked from posting the 2nd one until 20 minutes pass.
- What are the criteria for no longer being a new user?
- Should users who are new to one of the SO sites, but are no longer new in one of the others still be considered new for the purposes of limiting questions?

but still there must be some indication otherwise how will the bot know
on what basis was it preprogrammed i mean at which place or what time???
I think this question was asked a long time ago, and i think the answer was that the teams are given the route and were allowed to hardcode the decisions into the bot pre race.
the bot knows because the decision was preprogrammed into the microcontroller
And various camera algorithms that in various ways detect the split in the line. I'll be using a camera this year, but my algorithm is secret
by the way i wanted to know how do u use the camera with a microcontroller
and wat image processing software u use???

MLM and complex survey data
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
Alison Riddle
posted on Monday, March 31, 2008 - 7:26 am
Hi Bengt,
I read your article "MLM of Complex Survey Data" and I am trying to get a handle on how it applies to my data. Briefly, here is the sampling strategy that was used:
"In Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and
Zimbabwe we stratified the most recent available census into rural, urban (not within the capital region), and urban capital sites. In each country, we drew a last stage random selection of enumeration areas, with probability proportional to the national population (Table 1). Interviewers tried to cover
all households in each enumeration area, without sub-sampling. In each household, they interviewed all adults aged 16-60 years present at the time of the visit."
It is my understanding that I have 3 levels - enumeration areas, households, and individuals. I have weights for country and EA type and a stratification variable for EA type. How would you recommend that I model this in Mplus? Can I use MLM as opposed to TYPE=COMPLEX, or would it be a combination? Also, can I use IMPUTATION with TYPE=TWO LEVEL?
Thanks for your assistance, as always.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, March 31, 2008 - 10:28 am
I would suggest TYPE=COMPLEX TWOLEVEL; with
CLUSTERS=enumeration household; STRATIFICTION= rural/urban/urbancap;
WEIGHT= product of two weight variables;
You can use IMPUTATION with COMPLEX TWOLEVEL.

Thanks so much, Linda.

Drs Muthen,
I just wanted to follow up on your previous recommendation. Do I understand correctly that the method you are suggesting is a combination of multilevel modelling and an adjusted chi-square approach? If so, is there a particular reason you have adopted this approach versus a 3 level model (or is it simply because Mplus cannot yet perform an analysis with more than 2 levels)?
Also, can I use TYPE=TWOLEVEL for an EFA?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 9:35 am
Yes, see the description in the introduction to Chapter 9. Mplus currently cannot do three levels with cross-sectional data only with repeated measures. This is another approach that can be considered because often the highest level does not have enough variability to model.

In Fall residuals for glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass, I wrote that I expected to see Italian ryegrass emerging soon based on the weather around the Mississippi Delta at that time.
Three weeks have passed with practically no rainfall, so there is still little to no Italian ryegrass emerged. I did find a few plants at one of our ryegrass emergence monitoring sites in Coahoma County, Miss., on Oct. 4. However, it is still too dry for this weed to be a problem yet this fall.
At Stoneville, Miss., the weed science group has worked extensively on developing management programs for glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass over the last few years. The best chance for reliable control is with residual herbicides applied in the fall.
The following contain management suggestions for 2010-11, based on research and others, are personal observations.
Apply residual herbicides when weather permits between mid-October and mid-November.
Based on research from 2009-10, fall residual herbicides can be applied too early when rainfall is high through the fall and winter months. This year, we began our fall residual herbicide programs on Sept. More than likely, the treatments applied in September will fail again this year, but this time it will be because the herbicide applications have received no rainfall for incorporation.
In previous years, applications in early-November provided excellent ryegrass control until spring. Historically, rainfall totals (and the chances of not being able to apply a herbicide) increase in November.
Because the probability of good days for field work decrease later in the fall, I suggest monitoring the 10-day weather forecast over the next couple of weeks and applying a residual herbicide one or two days prior to a day with a good potential chance of rain (if there is a day like that).
Dual Magnum, Treflan, and Command have performed most consistently for controlling glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass in fall residual herbicide research at Stoneville. Dual Magnum or Treflan should be utilized in fields that will be planted to cotton or soybeans the following year. Dual Magnum is the only fall residual herbicide for ryegrass that may be safely applied if the field will be planted in corn.
In fields where the 2011 crop will be rice, Command (2 pints per acre) is the only fall residual herbicide option. Do not apply Command or Treflan in the fall prior to planting corn and avoid use of Dual Magnum or Treflan in the fall prior to planting rice.
The Dual Magnum rate should be at least 1.33 pints per acre on lighter-textured soils, but it will need to be increased to 1.5 pints per acre on heavier soil. Treflan has performed well at 3 pints per acre on glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass, but 4 pints per acre was common in the past when Treflan was applied in the fall for rhizome johnsongrass control. Regardless of the rate, Treflan requires incorporation within 24 hours of application.
Tillage, Gramoxone Inteon
Control emerged glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass in the fall with aggressive tillage or application of Gramoxone Inteon.
None of the residual herbicides available for glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass have postemergence activity. Should the current weather pattern change and ryegrass begin emerging, these emerged plants must be controlled before the residual herbicide is applied.
If the field has not already been tilled in preparation for next year, then the first flush could be destroyed during this tillage operation. When relying on tillage to control emerged Italian ryegrass, pay close attention to the clods behind the disk.
To completely kill Italian ryegrass seedlings, the clods must be crumbled and not just turned over. Emerged glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass will survive on the clods if they are not sufficiently crumbled.
Because destroying glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass with tillage in the fall may require an additional, unplanned pass across the field, then controlling emerged plants with Gramoxone Inteon (plus a crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant) may be a better option. Because ryegrass seedlings are small in the fall, the Gramoxone Inteon rate does not need to be as high as required in the spring.
Gramoxone Inteon should be applied at 4 pints per acre in the spring while 2 to 3 pints per acre should be sufficient to control glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass in the fall.
Gramoxone Inteon may be tank-mixed with Dual Magnum or Command. If you choose to use Treflan and emerged Italian ryegrass has been completely destroyed by tillage, then Gramoxone Inteon should not be required.
However, if the field has been worked once or twice and glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass emerges before the Treflan application and its subsequent incorporation, then Gramoxone Inteon will be needed.
Keep in mind that hippers often just bury emerged plants rather than killing them. Additional tillage will be required to control emerged plants prior to bedding in these situations.
When tank-mixing Gramoxone Inteon with Treflan, wait four to six hours between spraying and incorporation.
Regardless of how you choose to control emerged glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass in the fall, this is an absolutely critical component of the management plan and should not be overlooked or skimped on. Dual Magnum, Command, or Treflan will not kill even the smallest ryegrass seedlings. Escapes of just a few scattered one- to two-leaf seedlings in October will tiller and expand into large clumps in the spring, potentially resembling herbicide failure.
Ditch banks, field borders
Manage glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass on ditch banks, turn roads, and field borders.
Where glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass was only present on the turn roads or edges of the field last year, spot-treating these areas is a practical way to save on herbicide cost and possibly prevent the problem from becoming more severe in the future.
You may choose to wait and spray field borders and turn roads with clethodim (Select Max or various two-pound clethodim products) or Gramoxone Inteon after glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass emerges.
Another option would be treating these areas with a residual herbicide in the fall. Either of these practices could be an economical option in fields not completely covered with ryegrass.
Be very cautious if you choose to spot-treat areas with a residual herbicide. Italian ryegrass has extremely stiff straw that does not rapidly deteriorate. It is not uncommon to see Italian ryegrass residue complete with seed still standing in the fall. This seed from the previous year can be spread by a combine or it may spread into the field where land planes or dirt buckets were utilized.
Scouting fields
Scout fields in early- to mid-January to make spring management decisions.
If glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass escapes the fall residual herbicide application and is present in January, then the field should be treated with Select Max at 12 to 16 ounces per acre or 6 to 8 ounces of a 2-pound clethodim product.
Fields should be scouted again four to six weeks after clethodim application. Any surviving glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass should be treated with Gramoxone Inteon at 4 pints per acre.
Regardless of the program utilized, all ryegrass should be completely controlled prior to planting.
Unfortunately, there is little good news concerning glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass. The problem seems to be spreading every year. Few herbicides effectively control it, and most of these are expensive for burndown options.
Multiple herbicide applications are often required to completely control ryegrass, and the best herbicide application timings occur when most people are just not thinking about weed control for the next season.
The one positive right now is the dry weather has delayed emergence, so hopefully glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass will be more easily managed this year compared with last year.
