Simon Singh wins libel case
British Chiropractic Association drops its case against science writer.
By George Eaton Published 15 April 2010 12:09I've just heard the fantastic news that the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) has dropped its libel case against Simon Singh.
The scientist, who has contributed to the NS in the past, was sued by the BCA after he wrote a piece for the Guardian describing the association's claim that spinal manipulation could be used to treat children with colic, sleeping and feeding conditions as "bogus".
But it always looked likely that Singh would triumph after the appeal court ruled earlier this month that he could rely on a defence of "fair comment".
This case became a cause célèbre ("Simon Singh" is currently trending on Twitter) precisely because it highlighted the chilling effect that Britain's libel laws have had on free speech and scientific inquiry.
Jack Straw's libel reform plan, which would have capped lawyers' success fees at 10 per cent, fell victim to the Parliamentary 'wash up' but all of the three main parties have now committed to libel reform in their manifestos.
Reducing the cost of libel cases, as Straw promised, is a necessary reform but it is not a sufficient one. London has become the libel capital of the world, not just because of the sums claimants can win, but because it is easier to win a case here than in any comparable democracy. Only English libel law places the burden of proof on the defendant, meaning the odds are stacked against authors and publishers from the start. Any future government should shift this burden from the defendant to the plaintiff as a matter of urgency.

thats great - hopefully this will stop more action taking place again because it only stunts healthy debate and the advancement of medical practice! Chiropractor Associations in Australia and New Zealand have done the same thing with mixed results (http://www.chiropractic.org.nz/resources/news) and (http://web.archive.org/web/20071010152920/www.healthregboards.qld.gov.au...).
Sad that it has cost someone so much time and money which could have gone to better use. HEar hear to healthy debate!
Excellent news. I hope he now sues their asses off for vexatious litigation.

Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ[1] (Sanskrit: ॐ मणिपद्मे हूं, IPA: [õːː məɳipəd̪meː ɦũː]) is the six-syllabled Sanskrit mantra particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan Chenrezig, Chinese Guanyin), the bodhisattva of compassion. Mani means "jewel" or "bead" and Padma means "the lotus flower", the Buddhist Sacred Flower.
It is commonly carved onto rocks or written on paper which is inserted into prayer wheels. When an individual spins the wheel, it is said that the effect is the same as reciting the mantra as many times as it is duplicated within the wheel.
In English the mantra is variously transliterated, depending on the schools of Buddhism as well as individual teachers.
Most authorities consider maṇipadme to be one compound word rather than two simple words.[2] Sanskrit writing does not have capital letters leaving capitalisation of transliterated mantras varying irrationally from all caps, to initial caps, to no caps. All caps is typical of older scholarly works, and in Tibetan Sadhana texts.

Karandavyuha Sutra[edit]
The first known description of the mantra appears in the Karandavyuha Sutra (Chinese: 佛說大乘莊嚴寶王經 (Taisho Tripitaka 1050);[3] English: Buddha speaks Mahayana Sublime Treasure King Sutra), which is part of certain Mahayana canons such as the Tibetan. In this sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha states, "This is the most beneficial mantra. Even I made this aspiration to all the million Buddhas and subsequently received this teaching from Buddha Amitabha."[4]
Mantras may be interpreted by practitioners in many ways, or even as mere sequences of sound whose effects lie beyond strict meaning.
The middle part of the mantra, maṇipadme, is often interpreted as "jewel in the lotus," Sanskrit maṇí "jewel, gem, cintamani" and the locative of padma "lotus", but according to Donald Lopez it is much more likely that maṇipadme is in fact a vocative, not a locative, addressing a bodhisattva called maṇipadma, "Jewel-Lotus"- an alternate epithet of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.[5] It is preceded by the oṃ syllable and followed by the hūṃ syllable, both interjections without linguistic meaning.
Another suggested translation is thus: Om purifies bliss and pride (realm of the gods); Ma purifies jealousy and need for entertainment (realm of the jealous gods); Ni purifies passion and desire (human realm); Pad purifies ignorance and prejudice (animal realm); Me purifies greed and possessiveness (realm of the hungry ghosts); Hum purifies aggression and hatred (hell realm).
Lopez also notes that the majority of Tibetan Buddhist texts have regarded the translation of the mantra as secondary, focusing instead on the correspondence of the six syllables of the mantra to various other groupings of six in the Buddhist tradition.[6] For example, in the Chenrezig Sadhana, Tsangsar Tulku Rinpoche expands upon the mantra's meaning, taking its six syllables to represent the purification of the six realms of existence:[7]
Syllable | Six Pāramitās | Purifies | Samsaric realm | Colours | Symbol of the Deity | (Wish them) To be born in |
Om | Generosity | Pride / Ego | Devas | White | Wisdom | Perfect Realm of Potala |
Ma | Ethics | Jealousy / Lust for entertainment | Asuras | Green | Compassion | Perfect Realm of Potala |
Ni | Patience | Passion / desire | Humans | Yellow | Body, speech, mind quality and activity |
Dewachen |
Pad | Diligence | Ignorance / prejudice | Animals | Blue | Equanimity | the presence of Protector (Chenrezig) |
Me | Renunciation | Greed / possessiveness | Pretas (hungry ghosts) | Red | Bliss | Perfect Realm of Potala |
Hum | Wisdom | Aggression / hatred | Naraka | Black | Quality of Compassion | the presence of the Lotus Throne (of Chenrezig) |
14th Dalai Lama[edit]
- "It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast... The first, Om [...] symbolizes the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; it also symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]"
- "The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method: (the) altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.[...]"
- "The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom[...]"
- "Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility[...]"
- "Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]"
- -
- --
Thoughts to be had whilst chanting transcribed in simplification keeping essence:
Being and non-beings proliferate loving compassion and indivisible intelligent equanimity; Om Mani Padme Hum.
That is the natural ubiquitous pervasive force of consciousness. These frequencies are in the Sanskrit tongue, act as a harmonic sound resonance against blocking energy, or sleeping energy. Plants reflect this action as well because of the phonetic strength of vibration that is stimulated by natural pronunciation.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche[edit]
- "The mantra Om Mani Päme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching. When you say the first syllable Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity, Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics, and Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience. Pä, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance, Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration, and the final sixth syllable Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom.
- "So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these six perfections is the path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times. What could then be more meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six perfections?"
Karma Thubten Trinley[edit]
- "These are the six syllables which prevent rebirth into the six realms of cyclic existence. It translates literally as 'OM the jewel in the lotus HUM'. OM prevents rebirth in the god realm, MA prevents rebirth in the Asura (Titan) Realm, NI prevents rebirth in the Human realm, PA prevents rebirth in the Animal realm, ME prevents rebirth in the Hungry ghost realm, and HUM prevents rebirth in the Hell realm."
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso[edit]
"The meaning of this mantra is: with 'OM' we are calling Avalokiteshvara, 'MANI' means the precious jewel of enlightenment, 'PAME' means liberation and 'HUM' means bestow. Together, the meaning is: 'O Avalokiteshvara, please bestow the precious jewel of enlightenment to liberate all living beings'. Through the recitation of this mantra we train in the compassionate mind of bodhichitta."[10]
As Bucknell, et al. (1986: p. 15) opine, the complete Avalokiteshvara Mantra includes a final hrīḥ (Sanskrit: ह्रीः, IPA: [ɦriːh]), which is iconographically depicted in the central space of the syllabic mandala as seen in the ceiling decoration of the Potala Palace.[11] The hrīḥ is not always vocalized audibly, and may be resonated "internally" or "secretly" through intentionality.
Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism[edit]
The first known citation of the mantra occurs in the Karandavyuha Sutra published in the 11th Century which appears in the Chinese Buddhist canon.[3] However, some Buddhist scholars argue that the mantra as practiced in Tibetan Buddhism was based on the Sadhanamala, a collection of sadhana published in the twelfth century.[12]

Deadline: 24/02/2013
Arquetopia Oaxaca Natural Pigments Special Artist Residency - Oaxaca, Mexico – Start Feb/Mar/Apr 2013
Learn and work with natural pigments, with specialized instruction, at Arquetopia Oaxaca.
Learn and work with natural pigments, with specialized instruction, at Arquetopia's premier art space in the extraordinary multicultural kaleidoscope of Oaxaca, Mexico. Extendable 3-week terms to start during February, March, or April 2013. Application Deadline Feb. 24, 2013.
Arquetopia Oaxaca is the newest residency space of Arquetopia, a nonprofit foundation based in Puebla, Mexico and run entirely by artists. Arquetopia's programs promote development and social transformation through contemporary art with a non-traditional, culturally diverse and multidisciplinary approach. Arquetopia offers artist residency programs of the highest quality, making its staff available and creating a community among staff and resident artists. Arquetopia's resident artist backgrounds are diverse in all aspects. As part of Arquetopia's mission is to promote diversity, artists from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East are especially encouraged to apply.
Oaxaca is a beautiful colonial city nestled in a valley in the Sierra Madre mountain range of Southern Mexico. Oaxaca is located 450 km (280 miles) southeast of Mexico City and reachable via three international airports: Oaxaca (OAX), Puebla (PBC), and Mexico City (MEX). Oaxaca boasts magnificent colonial architecture, the most outstanding example being Santo Domingo church and its former convent, now home to an impressive museum. The unusually colorful city and its surrounding areas also feature a high concentration of native Zapotec and Mixtec cultures and archaeological sites. Oaxaca was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 for its central Historic Monuments Zone and the archaeological site of Monte Alban. Getting around Oaxaca is easy and enjoyable; museums, studios, libraries and landmarks are all in walking distance. At an elevation of 1555 m (5100 ft), Oaxaca features a subtropical climate, resulting in mild-to-warm temperatures year-round.
The Art Production Artist Residency offers important professional opportunities for emerging and mid-career national and international contemporary artists age 25 and over. Our programs are oriented to promote social consciousness, and artists are strongly encouraged to address social themes as part of their artistic goals for their residency project. As Arquetopia's mission is to promote social transformation, understanding Mexico's context, and specifically Oaxaca's cultural complexity, is key for a successful cultural exchange. Since our approach is contemporary, we welcome artists from diverse disciplines (painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation, performance & time based work, etc.) who are interested in creating work with elements, techniques or processes that are specific to Mexico and/or unique to Oaxaca.
• Selection decisions are based on artistic work. Candidates at all stages of their careers (emerging and established) must display a demonstrated sense of potential. The residency is for artists who want to advance their work.
• The residency pool is diverse in all aspects.
• The residency program is an opportunity for artists to pursue their own work (especially work that in their particular circumstances would normally be difficult to produce), free from daily pressures; however, there is an optional structure of critical study during the residency, such as studio visits, visiting artists, etc. Residents are encouraged to work with the visiting artist/critic program.
• The creation of community among fellow artists and staff during the residency period is important.
Comfortable Accommodation and Meals:
Residents enjoy spacious, comfortably furnished bedrooms (rooms feature main level or loft accommodation) with full-size beds and use of Arquetopia Oaxaca's well-equipped residency space including wireless Internet, kitchen, dining area, covered outdoor patio and terrace space, and private bathrooms with modern fixtures and showers. Housekeeping and most meals are also included.
Studio and Materials:
Roomy indoor and outdoor art studio are provided with personal work space, large tables, access to special facilities, tools, basic materials and supplies. In cases where a specific technique, space and/or materials are not available for a proposed project, our foundation will work with the artist and community on alternatives that will suit the work. Access to special facilities is also provided depending on the chosen technique.
This Natural Pigments Special Artist Residency term is for 3 weeks (extendable minimum) to start during February, March, or April 2013.
The fee per person is USD $2095 for 3 weeks, extendable at an additional USD $595 per additional week. Payment of Total Residency Fee due within 1 week of selection notification.

How to Make a Burnt Brown Bag ButterflyBy: Savannah Starr Using an old-school technique, you can create your own vintage jewelry crafts. Learn how to make a Burnt Brown Bag Butterfly from Savannah Starr using discards you already have on hand. Add a chain to your butterfly and turn it into a funky and fun necklace. Make your own butterfly after a trip to the grocery store and you won't need to search for materials! Cut two equal-sized pieces from a single bag and trace a butterfly on one of them. Squeeze Aleene's Tacky Glue on to the other piece and spread it out using a sqeegee or old credit card. Stick a piece of wire in between the two brown bag pieces and adhere all of the parts together. After a few minutes, cut out the butterfly shape from the bag and then let the piece sit overnight. For the burnt bag technique, cover the brown paper in Aleene's Tacky Glue and, using the wire, hold the butterfly over an open candle flame. Allow the piece to sit for several hours and then gently wipe away the soot to reveal a smooth, shiny surface. For a step-by-step photo tutorial of this project, check out Look of Vintage Butterfly Necklace.

Vermeil Plating: Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze: Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or 18K gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Palladium: A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.
Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Gems en Vogue II The vintage inspired designs of Gems en Vogue II conjure romantic visions of elegance from the Art Deco movement to the French Renaissance. Set in advanced Sterling Palladium Alloy with 18K Gold Embraced™ accents, each piece of Gem en Vogue II jewelry is a wearable work of art, individually designed and executed with intriguing, often unexpected detail and highlighted by a colorful variety of unique gems.
Each piece of jewelry is designed around a specific gemstone and is often inspired by nature or architecture and influenced by historical jewelry and current fashion trends. The ultimate goal is always to present customers with original jewelry pieces they'll be delighted to wear.
About the Guest Guest Michael Valitutti G.G. (GIA) is a graduate gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America with a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for gemstones and jewelry. Winner of two design competitions and the subject of numerous articles and industry news, Michael introduced Sterling Palladium Alloy to America in 2006 with the launch of Gems en Vogue II.
Before entering the jewelry business, Michael had decided to pursue his MBA. However, before returning to his studies, he took a summer job working for a friend - a jeweler in a swanky area of downtown Toronto. He recalls, "I liked it so much, I decided to pursue this career full time, so I asked for a refund of my tuition and the rest is history." It's no surprise that Michael ended up on TV selling jewelry. More than 30 years ago, he did a pilot for his own TV show. He also worked at the TV station on weekends, working his way up to floor director. Now he is at home on TV and at home in the jewelry business.

If you haven't seen the video, watch right after Striker scores the final touchdown at Bedlam last Saturday, an OSU male cheerleader attempted to trip Striker after the touchdown.
The cheerleader told OSU deputy athletic director Dave Martin that he was playfully sticking out his foot and not actually trying to trip the Sooner. But Martin didn't find the act funny.
Martin said in a statement to the Big 12 that Oklahoma State "does not condone, physical or verbally abusive acts toward anyone working, attending or competing in our athletic events."
Dave Martin did not specifiy what punishment will be delt, and the cheer squad is expected to be at the Cotton Bowl on Jan 3rd.
Do you think there should be a punishment?? Comment below.

Day/Night Budget Hearing Set Oyster Bay Town Super-visor Joseph Colby announced that the 1986 Preliminary Budget will hold the General Town Tax rate at 87 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for the fourth consecutive year. The Town Board set a day and night public hearing on the Preliminary Budget for Tuesday, October 22, 1985, The hearing is scheduled for 10 AM and 8 PM in the Town Hall East' hearing' room in Oyster Bay. Supervisor Colby commented that "although costs continue to increase, department heads and other Town officials have made a conscientious effort to develop better, cost effective methods of providing needed services more efficiently. This has greatly assisted us in again maintaining our low tax rate." The Preliminary Part- Town (Planning, Building and Zoning) Budget, which is not paid by property owners in villages, was reduced for homeowners by 6 cents. That reduction offsets a 6-cent increase in the Highway tax, which also is not paid by property owners in villages. In addition, the 1986 Preliminary budget totally eliminates the $2.15 tax rate for Sanitation Transfer and Transport Expenses. The proposed General Town Budget—that budget covering the entire Town— totals $38,343,712. The 1985 total was $36,097,926. Under the State law allowing Nassau County to establish four categories of property assessment, each with its own tax rate, allowable adjustments have been made to benefit homeowners. The rates for the proposed 1986 General Town Budget would be set as follows (1985 rates are in brackets): Class I properties (one, two and three-family homes) 87 cents ('85 rate: 87 cents); Class II properties (apartments) 96 and 7/ lOths cents ('85 rate: 94 and 4/ 5ths cents); Class III properties (utilities) 95 and 2/5ths cents ('85 rate: 95 and I / lOth cent); Class IV properties (all others) 95 and 3/5th cents ('85 rate: 95 and 1/2 cent). The slight increase/decrease in the different assessment categories is a reflection of the adjustment favoring homeowners and. the amount of new construction among the four classes. The Preliminary Budget for Part Town (Planning, Building and Zoning) totals $2,868,956. The 1985 total was $2,787,584. Under this proposed budget, which does not affect property in villages; the rates would be as follows: Class I, 15 and 3/lOths cents ('85 rate: 21 In addition to his distinguished record of public service and his excellent credentials in the field of law, • Ed McCabe has played an active role in his home community of New Hyde Park through his leadership in the Knights of Columbus Council No. 2852; the BPOE Lodge No. 2107; the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 6; the Holy Name Society and the Lake-ville Estates Civic Association. McCabe is seeking one of five available seats on the bench of the New York Supreme Court. Oyster Bay Town Clerk Ann R. Ocker presents a proclamation declaring Sunday, October 20, "Walk for the Hungry Day" in the Town. Accepting is Rev. David G. Dethmers, pastor of the Massapequa Reformed Church and coordinator for the 4th Annual Interfaith Walk for the Hungray. In addition to the Massapequa Reformed Church, congregations that have registered for the Walk include Community United Methodist Church of Massapequa, First United Methodist Church of Amityville, Grace Episcopal Church of Massapequa, Hollywood Baptist Church of Amityville, Levittown Community Church, Maria Regina R.C. of Seaford, Plainview Reformed Church, Presbyterian Community Church of Massapequa, St. David's Lutheran Church of Massapequa, St. Gregory of Nyssa Greek Orthodox Church of Seaford, St. Martin of Tours R.C. of Amityville, St. James R.C. of Massapequa, St. Paul's Reformed Church of North Babylon, St. Rose R.C. of Massapequa, St. William the Abbot R.C. of Seaford, Temple Judea of Massapequa and Unity Lutheran Church of Massapequa. Over the past three years, the local hunger walk has raised more than $33,000, which has been distributed to various agencies that aid refugees, respond to disasters and develop programs on increase food production among the hungry. Groups and individuals who would like to join the walk should contact Rev. Dethmers at 799-5158. and 3/ lOths cents); Class II, 15 and 9/lOths cents ('85 rate: 23 and 2/5ths cents); Class III, 17 cents ('85 rate: 23 and 1/2 cent); Class IV, 17 cents (:85 rate: 23 and 3/5thscents). The. 19S6 Preliminary Budget for Highway totals $13,345,613. The 1985 total was $12^644,964. This tax is not pari of a homeowner's bill if the property is in a village. Under this proposed budget the rates would be set as follows: Class I, $ 1.42 and 1/2 cent ($1.36 and 1/2 cent); Class II, $1.59 and 9/lOths cents ($1.49 and 3/5thscents)Classin.$l.57 and 1/2 cent ($1.50 and 2/ 5ths cents); Class IV $ 1.57 and 9/lOths cents ($1.51 and 1/lOthcent). Colby said tha.l for homeowners, "the decrease in the Part-Town rate totally offsets the slight increase in the Highway rate." Colby noted that the $2.15 tax rate for Sanitation Transfer and Transport Expenses was totally eliminated in 1986 as a result of the Town's success in blocking, for almost a year. State efforts to force Oyster Bay to ship its residents' refuse to out-of-state landfills. "By using every legal means available we were able to save the tax dollars that the State has been tryirig to force us to spend since last October," Colby said. In the Preliminary Budget document, copies of which are currently being printed for distribution in the Town Clerk's annexes and to public libraries throughout the Town prior to the October 22nd hearing, the revenue and allocations for all special districts in the Town are also included. There are more than 50 special districts that supply such services as fire piiotec- (Continued on Page 8)

- On the role of syntactic locality in morphological processes : the case of (Greek) derived nominals (2008)
- The paper is structured as follows. In section 2, I briefly summarize the facts on English and Greek nominalizations. In section 3, I discuss English nominal derivation in some detail. In section 4, I turn to the question of licensing of AS in nominals. In section 5, I turn to the issue of the optionality of licensing of AS in the nominal system.
- Focus asymmetries in Bura (2008)
- This article presents the central aspects of the focus system of Bura (Chadic), which exhibits a number of asymmetries: Grammatical focus marking is obligatory only with focused subjects, where focus is marked by the particle án following the subject. Focused subjects remain in situ and the complement of án is a regular VP. With nonsubject foci, án appears in a cleft-structure between the fronted focus constituent and a relative clause. We present a semantically unified analysis of focus marking in Bura that treats the particle as a focusmarking copula in T that takes a property-denoting expression (the background) and an individual-denoting expression (the focus) as arguments. The article also investigates the realization of predicate and polarity focus, which are almost never marked. The upshot of the discussion is that Bura shares many characteristic traits of focus marking with other Chadic languages, but it crucially differs in exhibiting a structural difference in the marking of focus on subjects and non-subject constituents.
- Single prosodic phrase sentences (2008)
- A series of production and perception experiments investigating the prosody and well-formedness of special sentences, called Wide Focus Partial Fronting (WFPF), which consist of only one prosodic phrase and a unique initial accented argument, are reported on here. The results help us to decide between different models of German prosody. The absence of pitch height difference on the accent of the sentence speaks in favor of a relative model of prosody, in which accents are scaled relative to each other, and against models in which pitch accents are scaled in an absolute way. The results also speak for a model in which syntax, but not information structure, influences the prosodic phrasing. Finally, perception experiments show that the prosodic structure of sentences with a marked word order needs to be presented for grammaticality judgments. Presentation of written material only is not enough, and falsifies the results.
- Of productive germs and the immortal soul : Friedrich Schlegel's writings on language and early biological theory (2008)
- Friedrich Schlegel's lasting contribution to linguistics is usually seen in the impact that his book "Über die Sprache und Weisheit der Indier" from 1808 left on comparative linguistics and on the study of Sanskrit. Schlegel was one of the first European scholars to have studied Sanskrit extensively and he made a number of translations of Sanskrit literature into German which make up one third of "Über die Sprache und Weisheit der Indier". Schlegel's book is widely regarded as a founding document both of comparative linguistics and of indology, a fact which is quite remarkable in light of the development of Schlegel's thought after this text. His interest in Indian studies ceased more or less directly with the publication of this work, while his thoughts on language became more and more suffused by transcendental philosophy.
- Old Aramaic and Neo-Aramaic : some reflections on language history (2008)
- Aramaic is not among the oldest Semitic languages in a strictly chronological sense, but among those languages which are still spoken today, it has the longest continuous written tradition. The existing written documents span a period of three millennia and thus enable us to study language history in a long-term perspective. It is very important, in this respect, that the latest stage of development of Aramaic, Neo-Aramaic, still exists in a multitude of spoken varieties which can be studied in vivo. We can thus describe the phonetics and phonology of the modern varieties with more precision than is possible for the older language stages, which in turn enables us to draw conclusions on diachronic sound change. Likewise, we can study morphology and syntax not only from recorded texts, but we also have recourse to native speakers in order to clarify doubtful points. Thus the latest stage of Aramaic casts a strong light back into the past. It is therefore most unfortunate that many Aramaicists and Syrologists show so little interest in this living heritage.
- Hittite hi-verbs and the Indo-European perfect (2008)
- In an earlier study (1983) I argued that unlike aorists and athematic presents, Indo-European perfects and thematic presents originally had a dative subject, as in German mir träumt 'me dreams' for ich träume 'I dream', e.g. Greek oida 'I know' < 'it is known to me', édomai 'I will eat' < 'it is eatable to me'. On the basis of Oettinger's epoch-making book (1979), I proposed that the Hittite hi-flexion originated from a merger of the perfect, where *-i was added to 3rd sg. *-e in order to supply a new present, with the thematic flexion of causatives and iteratives, where the final *-e of 3rd sg. *-eie was dropped before the loss of intervocalic *-i- (1983: 315).
- C. C. Uhlenbeck on Indo-European, Uralic and Caucasian (2008)
- In his early years, C. C. Uhlenbeck was particularly interested in the problem of the Indo-European homeland (1895, 1897). He rejected Herman Hirt's theory (1892) that the words for 'birch', 'willow', 'spruce', 'oak', 'beech' and 'eel' point to Lithuania and its immediate surroundings and returned to Otto Schrader's view (1883, 1890) that the original homeland must rather be sought in southern Russia and may have included some of the later Germanic and Iranian territories. It is clear that the Mediterranean region and the area around the North Sea can safely be excluded because the arrival of the Indo-Europeans was comparatively recent here, as it was in Iran and the Indian subcontinent. It is difficult to be more specific within the limits of central and eastern Europe and central Asia. Uhlenbeck was impressed by the lexical correspondences between Indo-European and Semitic which had been adduced in favor of an eastern homeland but pointed out that borrowings from Semitic may have reached the Indo-Europeans through an intermediary. He agrees that the Indo-European words for trees and animals point to a moderate climate but questions the possibility of a more specific localization as well as the concept of homeland itself.
- Issues in Balto-Slavic accentology (2008)
- After the very well-organized Leiden conference for which we must be grateful to Tijmen Pronk, it seems appropriate for me to review some of the papers, as I did after the previous conferences in Zagreb and Copenhagen. The aim of this review is merely to point out some of the differences of opinion which require further debate.

Sagging roof trusses on Waynesville fire station prompt lawsuit

The town of Waynesville is suing a Hendersonville contractor for negligence in the construction of its new fire station on the outskirts of downtown.
In its complaint, the town alleges that Construction Logic's work was defective and did not follow the planned specifications for the roof of the fire station.
"The suit is about fixing the roof and who is going to fix the roof," said Town Manager Lee Galloway.
In early 2007, the town signed a $2.3 million contract with Construction Logic to build the Waynesville Fire Department's headquarters.
"They were responsible for everything, the roof and the beams and the construction of the fire station," Galloway said.
About a year after its completion when about 14 inches of snow fell in Waynesville, portions of the metal-paneled roof over the fire station's equipment room began to sag.
Engineers found several flaws in the construction of the trusses, which hold the roof in place. More than 75 percent of the bolts connecting the trusses were loose, and a majority of the bolt holes at the top of each truss were reamed, according to court documents. All of the trusses were bent at least three-quarters of an inch; one was deflected as much as 2.75 inches, which could cause leaks or other structural problems.
The engineers who studied the roof declared that it is not a safety hazard. And, it has not leaked.
"But it needs to be remedied and fixed," Galloway said. The cost of fixing such a critical part of the structure could reach up to $400,000, he said.
The town brought the defect to the Construction Logic's attention in 2010, Galloway said.
"And, they have never fixed the roof," he said. "They never indicated a willingness to fix the roof."
Construction Logic failed to apply the proper standard of care to which all contractors must adhere, according to court documents.
The town has alleged charges of negligence, breach of contract and breach of warranties. Waynesville officials are seeking $30,000 in damages in addition to the cost of repairing the roof and bringing it into compliance with the original building plans.
The company, according to its website, has operations in Hendersonville and Asheville. Neither the company nor its lawyer Brad Stark of Asheville responded to several requests for comment.

Definición de dash in Inglés
British informalnoun
Middle English (in the sense 'strike forcibly against'): probably symbolic of forceful movement and related to Swedish and Danish daska
A punctuation mark that looks like an extended hyphen. It comes in two sizes, an em dash (—) and an en dash (–).An em dash is used to mark a break in sentences: It can be used in pairs to show words in parenthesis:In brute material terms he was an accomplice—in fact, a conspirator—to the murder of millions of children. It can introduce something that develops, or is an example of, what has gone before:You must have seen it, I am sure—the blue flag with a white square in the middle. In more formal writing, a colon would be used instead of a dash. It can introduce an aside by the writer:I occupied Piers' old studio and Toby the three guest rooms—this purely for company. In direct speech it can show that someone breaks off in mid sentence, or is interrupted:I smiled and she said, 'You mean you want me to—? An en dash is used to show sequences:1999–2000 an A-Z guide. In sequences either use from 1999 to 2000 or 1999–2000; mixing the two styles, e.g. from 1999–2000, is wrong.

What to know about Google+ Local
If you haven't already, you will soon realize that Google Places pages are no more. Last week, Google announced its exciting merger between Google Places and Google+, resulting in what they are calling "Google+ Local" or "Local+". This integration is one step in Google's effort to creating an entirely social experience for the consumer- a goal they have been working towards for quite a while now. A more versatile local search and social media channel (think Facebook meets Yelp), Local+ has generated a lot of buzz in the last week since its introduction. Let's explore what's new in Google+ Local and see how this affects the business owner.
Yelp: Attacking the Monster
If you are a small business owner and you are apprehensive to Yelp, you're not alone. To many, the internet itself is a beast that small business owners just don't want to face, ready to swallow them whole much like Amazon.com has made many small bookstores need to rethink their traditional business model and marketing plan. Don't worry though, Yelp is a happy smiling Monster like Mike from Monsters Inc. Started in 2004, Yelp is an urban online directory that allows visitors to find, talk about, and then review local businesses from restaurants to hair salons. The scary part?
Taking Apple's New Voice Assistant "Siri"ously
Apple sold 37 million iPhones in the fourth quarter of 2011 alone, an intimidating number that propelled the iPhone back to its number one ranking in the league of smartphones. The iPhone 4S' new feature, Siri, can be accredited for this sudden craving for the desirable smartphone...but why?

I am estimating the market size for a web business in a specific niche. To do this the first step is to estimate the current and historic traffic for each of the existing websites in the niche.
I have looked at alexa.com, compete.com and trafficestimates.com.
None provide what I'm looking for: - alexa.com only has current/ 3 months data - Compete.com has 2 years historic (if you pay for it) - however the estimates vary a lot month to month and I have heard the estimates are way off (certainly for my own websites they are far off) - trafficestimates.com seems even worse in terms of data quality
How would you size the traffic for a website, both current, and historic? I'd like to go back 10 years if possible... ambitious I know.

Aberdeen Public Schools Foundation
This column was written by Gretchen Sharp, Aberdeen Public Schools Foundation executive director.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving and all year through, the Aberdeen Public Schools Foundation is thankful for the following:
Vision of the Aberdeen School District administration, staff and school board . . .
When the Aberdeen Public Schools Foundation was created in 1994 by school board members Bernie Gerber, Jim Lust and others, their vision was to financially augment public school programs with privately contributed funds. The foundation was reinvigorated in 2002 when school board member Brad Olson encouraged the district to hire a half-time executive director to oversee operations. Since that time, the scope of the Aberdeen Public Schools Foundation has continually grown in mission, philosophy and effectiveness.
Support of alumni and community . . .
One of the foundation's first major projects involved finding local business partners to fund the Daktronics scoreboard system in Golden Eagles Arena, a system that is yet unmatched in high schools in the upper Midwest.
Today, the foundation oversees a wide variety of scholarships for students pursuing college degrees. It has received and manages 14 endowments designed to support and enhance education in the classroom and beyond. The foundation serves as a point of contact for class reunions and public relations. It celebrates foundation, alumni and student successes with its semiannual newsletter, The Blue and Gold.
Its mini-grant program has purchased technology, funded student travel and supported innovative programs that set the Aberdeen School District apart from schools dependent solely upon their general and capital outlay funds. The Rising Scholars Program provides tuition assistance to senior students who take dual credit courses at Northern State University and Presentation College.
Dedication of volunteers . . .
Except for the director's position, all board members are volunteers who support enhancing the education of young people in the Aberdeen School District. The foundation has been involved in the creation of a number of civic and educational activities, and maintains the Alumni Resource Room in Old Central High School.
One of its first endeavors was to host the Hall of Fame banquet and reception honoring Central High School graduates, district teachers and administrators. Up to three individuals in each category are honored annually during homecoming week in the areas of academics/achievement, fine arts and athletics.
For the past five years, the foundation has sponsored the Home for the Holidays tour, where local interior designers decorate several homes for public viewing. This past spring, the foundation held the first annual Knight for a Princess event that saw participation well beyond what was anticipated.
Thank you for believing in the importance of educating our young people!
