America Made Easy
July 02, 2001
John Adams By David McCullough (Simon & Schuster, 751 pp., $35) I. At the height of the XYZ Affair in 1798, when American public outrage against France verged on war hysteria, President John Adams briefly enjoyed the sort of popular acclaim that he had long thought he deserved. In Paris, the French foreign minister Talleyrand had tried to bribe three American envoys sent by Adams to negotiate an end to continuing maritime hostilities between the two erstwhile allies.
Job's Doctors
July 02, 2001
Saving Milly: Love, Politics, and Parkinson's Disease by Morton Kondracke By Morton Kondracke (PublicAffairs, 275 pp., $25) Narratives of illness have deep roots in our culture. For millennia, interpretations of disease--the reasons for the malady and the source of its solution--were grounded in the Bible. Miriam, in the Book of Numbers, develops leprosy after voicing resentment and disseminating doubt about Moses's leadership. Leprosy, a disease of relentless physical decomposition, is measured recompense for a sin that dismembers the cohesion of the community.
Scandal and Scholarship
July 02, 2001
I.In July 1958, La Scala, an Italian periodical devoted to news of Italian opera and musical life, published a polemical article by a young Australian musician named Denis Vaughan. Having become an assistant conductor to Sir Thomas Beecham four years earlier, Vaughan had grown fascinated by the asymmetries of phrasing, the subtle gradations of color and dynamics, the non-uniform use of staccato articulation that he felt characterized Beecham's interpretations and gave the music that passed under his baton an inner life of great power and variety.
Plottings, Real and Otherwise
July 02, 2001
Radical political figures attract film-makers. Those figures seem the available equivalents of saints or idealistic heroes; and since a good number of them ended badly they have some of the aura of tragedy. But in most cases such figures are cinematic snares--not because of the character or the heroism, but because of the politics. Warren Beatty's Reds (1981) is the best film he has made, but it never became much more complex than a biography of John Reed's love life against a revolutionary background.
Heredity and Humanity
June 25, 2001
Forty-eight years ago, James Watson and Francis Crick introduced DNA's elegant double helix to the world in the pages of Nature. With extravagant understatement, they began their report by noting that DNA's "structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest." Four months ago, with the publication of the sequence and the analysis of the human genome, scientists offered further evidence of just how considerable.
Less Than Zero
May 28, 2001
Idiocy has a time-honored link to illumination. "The prophet is a fool," warned Hosea, "the spiritual man is mad." The uninhibited man (I mean the really uninhibited man), the man who is not governed by norms and manners, the ridiculous man, the tasteless man, the obscene man, the man who does not think reasonably and realistically, the man who never stops laughing: The figure has taken many forms, and one of them is the meshuggene. Civilization makes craziness look like a variety of courage, of intellectual elevation.
The Ghost Rutter
May 21, 2001
Zoe Heller reviews Philip Roth's novel about a licentious professor.
Tablets to Books
May 14, 2001
Libraries in the Ancient World By Lionel Casson (Yale University Press, 177 pp., $22.95) One of the inscribed clay tablets in the library of Ashurbanipal, who was the king of Assyria from 668 B.C.
Homo Scriblerus
March 26, 2001
Marginalia: Readers Writing in Books by H.J. Jackson (Yale University Press, 324 pp., $27.95) A certain Cambridge classics teacher named Walter Whiter suddenly became fairly famous when a peculiar book of his, A Specimen of a Commentary on Shakespeare, originally published and scorned in 1794, was rediscovered and for a while admired in the twentieth century. The brief vogue of the Specimen prompted some research into its author, so we know that Whiter was for some years the close friend of Richard Porson, the great Greek scholar.
Slaughterhouse Jive
January 29, 2001
Introduction to Animal Rights Your Child or the Dog?by Gary L. Francione(Temple University Press, 328 pp., $69.50)There are nearly 60 million domestic dogs in the United States, owned by over 36 million households. Over half of these households give Christmas presents to their dogs. Millions of them celebrate their dogs' birthdays. If a family's dog--say, a little black pug or a big Rhodesian Ridgeback--were somehow forced to live a short and painful life, the family would undoubtedly feel some combination of rage and grief.

Beer Articles
Continental European Ales
Geographically one of the smaller continents, Europe has arguably contributed more to beer than any other region. The birthplace of not just stouts, porters and English-style ales, Europe is also the origin of altbier, kölsch, saison and a myriad of Belgian styles. more >>
British & North American Ales
We devote one session of the World Beer Championships entirely to British and North American ale styles that aren't stouts or porters. Ranging from milds to barley wines and bitters to imperial IPAs, these are styles that appear in nearly every brewery's portfolio. more >>
Stouts & Porters
Each year Tastings.com's World Beer Championships is brought to a close with our annual stouts and porters review. From dark brown to black in color, these beers feature flavors and aromas ranging from dark fruit to chocolate and coffee. While some stouts and porters may be one-dimensional, only highlighting simple roasted malt driven flavors and aromas, the truly great examples are able to hold the drinker captive, able to leave drinkers with more words than chocolate or coffee as descriptors. more >>

"I've always loved history. You can use it as a vehicle to teach so many other subjects," said retired teacher Gail Kamerer, who organized the event.
Teachers have no textbooks on local history, so they have to get creative about the way they teach it, she said. This was the first year the museum has shown the student works, and both teachers and parents said they hoped it would become an annual event.

Atom Simulation in After Effects: Part 2
In this tutorial we'll create an atom simulation using Particular, CC Sphere, a few layers along with some tricks and smoke screens. In order to make this scene a true (AE) 3D scene we will use some expressions and AE tricks to make the 2d layers act as 3D layers, and respond to the camera. This scene is quite simple and straight forward. But it is compiled out of lots of small steps. We got a lot to do, so let's get started.

Stafford Gatehouse double bill of drama
Posted: March 15, 2014|
A DOUBLE bill of classic drama comes to town to kick off spring at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre.
Established in 2004 and lauded as one of the most fearless dynamic theatre companies in the UK, Icarus Theatre Collective's reputation for punchy and vibrant productions of contemporary and classic theatre continues to grow with their new productions HeddaGabler and Othello.
Following on from the success of Spring Awakening and Romeo & Juliet, the highly acclaimed company presents the new production of HeddaGabler and Othello at
HeddaGabler is a dynamic play that deals with complex and controversial themes of wealth, courage, reputation, rebellion, hopes and dreams and alcoholism.
Related content
One of the most notorious heroes in theatre, Hedda was born into a legacy of aristocracy. Though she lived a pampered life her time as a single girl ran out and she married Tesman, a man she clearly no longer loves - if, indeed, she ever did. Now she is driven to diabolical ends trying to discover purpose in her life as she increasingly finds the world closing in on her.
The play is one of the earliest challenges to modern patriarchy, a precursor to feminism and gender equality. Recession and economic boom sit side by side in Hedda's world, antiquated by patriarchal society and made vibrant by Hedda's lust for life. Icarus use traditional costumes from the 1900s, draping the seven-person cast in opulence and austerity. The warped turn of the century household set will be dramatically lit and accompanied by a newly-composed score.
The company's productions have won countless accolades including Time Out's Critics Choice, as well as receiving great praise from critics and audiences alike and winning awards from as far afield as Romania (Best Production and Best Actress, The Lesson). Over the years, the company has performed their work nationally and internationally including their award-winning production of R.C. Sheriff's Journey's End and Macbeth which both played to sell-out houses on their national and international tours.
HeddaGabler plays Stafford Gatehouse Theatre on Saturday, March 22, at 7.30pm.
The company return on Monday, March 24, at 7.30pm with Othello.
In their 10th anniversary tour, director Max Lewendel's vision of a modern Othello in a period setting has been realised in this explosive production. Combining Shakespeare, swords and strings, Othello's world is brought vividly to life by the stunning ensemble cast as this classic tale of jealousy, love and deception hurtles towards its tragic conclusion.
Featuring a talented cast of actor-musicians, original music, and breath-taking fight choreography, this production of Othello is not to be missed.
Tickets for HeddaGabler and Othello are £15 / £12 concessions each and can be booked by calling the box office on 01785 254653 or online at www.staffordgatehousetheatre.co.uk. Both shows carry an age guidance of 11-plus.

Kiwi Crash-Course
- By: Thierry Bombeke
- Photography by: Val Atkinson
The Ambien failed badly, giving me just 45 minutes of sleep during a 36-hour slog from coastal Maine to New Zealand, specifically the pastoral town of Murchison, where I started the first leg of a three-lodge, eight-day trout blitz.
Fortunately, fatigue was overridden by the adrenaline high that comes with visiting an exceedingly exotic new place that, amongst other wonders, harbors large brown and rainbow trout in good numbers. Within minutes of my arrival at Scott and Leya Murray's beautiful River Haven Lodge, we were on the banks of a nearby freestoner, Scott rigging my 9-foot 5-weight with an 18-foot leader and a strike indicator, the mono tipped with a dark beadhead caddis.

Exotic Grand Slam

Golden Dorado
I first learned about something called the exotic grand slam years ago in an old British sporting journal. The British have a history of concocting new ways to entertain themselves, including those mammoth expeditions to Everest and the South Pole. They also invented the sport of lion hunting from horseback, the trick being to dismount before actually shooting the charging lion. That game never appealed to me, but the exotic grand slam did. To take the slam you have to catch three challenging species that live on different continents:
1African tigerfish, in either the Okavango Delta or the Zambezi River and its tributaries, which are full of crocodiles and hippos, and venomous snakes like the puff adder and the black-necked spitting cobra.

Sandpoint, idaho—calvin fuller has a pet bass that weighs a pound and a half and eats chicken burritos. He hooks it during lunch breaks less than a block from Sandpoint, Idaho's main drag, under the watchful eyes of coffee-sippers at Starbucks.
Fuller, a local outfitter who operates the area's only fly shop, cuts between storefronts and down an alley to reach the banks of Sand Creek, then casts a bug-eye streamer. I watch the fat line he's throwing off a Sage Bass Series rod and it goes tight. He and his pet play again.
Spring Steel on Idaho's Upper Salmon River
- By: Greg Thomas
- Photography by: Greg Thomas
I've created a problem for myself; I am a steelhead junkie who lives 500 miles from salt water, in a state where those big sea-run rainbows don't even exist.
I like where I live—Missoula, Montana—and I'm quite sure this is where I will raise my daughters. But in the back of my mind there's this idea to endear a Canadian scarlet, gain dual citizenship (plus healthcare, right), and move north, to Campbell River, Bella Coola or, even better, to Smithers or Terrace, British Columbia, where the greatest race of steelhead still pours into the Skeena, Babine, Kispiox, Kitimat and Sustut rivers. That's the glory list, and I could see myself fishing those waters a couple hundred days a year while pretending that I care about hockey.

Seven Validated Systems

moreExner's Comprehensive System has attracted so much attention in recent years that many clinicians and personality researchers are unaware that alternative Rorschach scoring systems exist. This is unfortunate, because some of these systems have tremendous clinical value. Scoring the Rorschach: Seven Validated Systems provides detailed reviews of the best-validated alternative approaches, and points to promising new paths towards the continued growth and refinement of Rorschach interpretation.
The editors set the stage with an extended introduction to historical controversies and cutting-edge empirical methods for Rorschach validation. Each chapter presents a different Rorschach scoring system. A brief history is followed by detailed information on scoring and interpretation, a comprehensive summary of evidence bearing on construct validity, and discussion of clinical applications, empirical limitations, and future directions. A user-friendly scoring "manual" for each system offers readers practical guidance.
The systems tap a broad array of content areas including ego defenses, thought disorder, mental representations of self and others, implicit motives, personality traits, and potential for psychotherapy.
All psychologists seriously engaged in the work of personality assessment will find in this book welcome additions to their professional toolkits.

Using VS.NET Key Commands in MonoDevelop on the Mac
One of the more frustrating aspects about switching to MonoDevelop on the Mac after many years of developing with Visual Studio on the PC is the key commands. We all know that programmers are typists first, and programmers second so I've spent a good amount of time learning to do everything with the keyboard rather than the mouse.
The problem is I'm now hardwired to hit certain commands (ctrl+shift+b) when developing and it's tough to fight that muscle memory. When I started using MonoDevelop, I would unconsciously start hitting the same key commands only to see them fail in various crazy ways.
Let me be clear that many of these issues are due more to how the Mac works than anything that MonoDevelop is doing. With that caveat in mind, here are some tips to get MonoDevelop on the Mac to behave a little more like Visual Studio.
Take Command
The very first change you will want to make is map your keyboard control key to the mac command key. This will make simple actions like copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v) work like a PC user expects. You can put it back to "normal" by using the following tip:
Tip: Go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard > Modifier Keys > swap the Command and Option keys.
Go Home
In VS.NET, I am forever pressing Shift + End or Shift + Home to select entire lines. Not having the Home and End buttons working on the Mac is a cardinal sin in my depraved PC mind. This one took some research to solve because there is no built-in solution. Luckily, there is a third party program that can help:
Tip: DoubleCommand is a free program that you can download on your Mac which allows you to configure your Home and End keys by setting "PC Style Home and End keys" on the dialog.
Bind Your Own
One awesome feature of MonoDevelop 2.2 is that it allows you to set the key bindings to whatever you like. For example, I've set ctrl+L to delete a line like it does in VS.NET since I use that command all the time. By default it executes "Go to line" in MonoDevelop, but it's a great feature to be able to set your own key commands.
Tip: Under the MonoDevelop->Preferences menu, go to Key Bindings and set the keys to whatever you're most comfortable with.
The Nuclear Option
If it's all just too overwhelming for you. There is a small faction of the MonoTouch community that is pioneering the ability to open MonoTouch solutions inside VS.NET on the PC.
ManniAT has even created a stand-alone converter that you can use to open MonoTouch projects in VS.NET. It's not quite there yet because you can't compile on the PC, but he's getting there. I actually used this solution to do some simple MonoTouch dev on my PC and it worked pretty well.
Tip: Open MonoTouch projects in VS.NET by using ManniAT's converter.
The ultimate solution would be for someone to put together some VS.NET-like key bindings in a file that you can import into MonoDevelop. I haven't been able to find this yet, and I'm not even sure if you can import key bindings into MonoDevelop, but I'll cross my fingers because you never know what the Mono team or community will come up with next!

StarDust: Gwyneth Paltrow Ruins Breakfast Forever + More
- Gwyneth Paltrow's grandfather once told her that her breasts resembled two fried eggs.
- Gwyneth Paltrow's grandfather once told her that her breasts resembled two fried eggs.
The 'Iron Man 3' trailer. It's finally here, after a number of trailer teasers. And you get a good look and listen to Ben Kingsley's Mandarin, a taste of Guy Pearce's role in the film, and the sense that this is a film of scale, and that nothing is going to come easy for Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark.
MC Gwyneth Paltrow and DJ Jazzy Cameron Diaz -- who are reportedly BFFs after Gwynnie tired of Madonna and replaced her with a newer, young model in the form of Diaz -- recently got together to pop off a little rap for mutual friend Chelsea Handler.
And for the white guys who can't jump, don't feel bad. Turns out most white girls can't rap.
Apparently Madonna's warranty as bestie has expired, leading Gwyneth Paltrow to trade her in for a younger, prettier model.
And why was Madge was kicked to the curb like last season's thigh-high boots? Because Gwynnie wants someone she can
control nurture.
Gwyneth Paltrow returns to the hit FOX musical series 'Glee' tomorrow night, and based on this latest sound bite, it's going to be another high note for the Oscar-winning actress.
Paltrow, who memorably covered such songs as Cee-Lo's 'Forget You' Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide' on the series, will next tackle 'Turning Tables' from Adele's platinum-selling CD '21.'
Does Paltrow do justice to the 21-year-old songstress' tune? Or should she stick to other artists?
After the jump, hear Paltrow's take on the song, then compare it to the original.

I have been working with a horse in a round pen, free lunging AND on the line, and he is fantastic. Very attentive, picks up on cues the second I ask them, etc.
The two times I have tried to lunge him OUTSIDE the round pen, however, he has pulled pretty hard on the lunge when asked to move up a gait (trying to pull out, which he obviously can't do in a round pen).
He is ridden bitless and I prefer to not use a bit with him. Any suggestions on how to get him to not pull on the line? Seeing as a tug of war will end in me on the ground and him smug for it. :)

Like most people, I like to unwind with friends and drinks after a day in the office. That's why an invitation to cocktails with Richard Chai at the Dream Downtown on Tuesday evening was right up my alley. So, as soon as I closed my laptop, I headed over to the Meatpacking District with our own Hilary George-Parkin.
When we arrived at the Dream Downtown's Electric Room, we were literally greeted with drinks. The creations were part of Chai's collaboration with EFFEN Vodka. In January, the designer and vodka company started a few charity projects to benefit the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA).
Their latest philanthropical endeavor features three different (and strong) cocktails with fashion-y names like Cucumber Sartorialist, and a dress designed by Chai that will be worn on a red carpet event, and then auctioned off with the proceeds benefitting DIFFA. The statuesque Hilary Rhoda was modeling Chai's confection, which was just as stunning as the brunette herself.
"It was inspired by the clean lines of the bottle," Chai told me about the pleated dark gray gown. "I thought about the purity, simplicity, and symmetry of the bottle, and the fact that it's hand-crafted. So all the pleating is done by hand, and it's really intricate, graphic, and architectural. Then I thought about Hilary, who I knew would be wearing it. She's someone that I've known for quite some time, and she's obviously insanely beautiful. If you know her, she's amazing, grounded, down to earth, smart, and dynamic."
When I laughed and said that I didn't know the model personally, Chai took ahold of my arms and directed me towards Rhoda. Eek! But I brushed my nervousness off, and two seconds later, Rhoda and I were bonding over her gorgeous gown and her custom-made Jill Golden earrings and cuff. Hey bestie!
Chai was holding a cocktail, but I had to ask if he actually drank EFFEN. You know how designers or celebrities are spokespeople for certain brands, but don't really use them? Well, that's not how Chai rolls. "If it's not EFFEN, then it's wine. Or sake, I'm quite Asian in that way. But no, I really do like drinking EFFEN on the rocks." Hardcore.
Speaking of being Asian, Chai and I were pretty much the only Asian-Americans in the room. That was probably the only thing I had in common with the designer — until he admitted his love for Korean pop music. "When I was in Parsons, I had this joke with all my Korean friends," he laughed. "We said that if we never make it in fashion, we can always move to Korea, and become pop stars because we have good style, which is all that matters if you're gonna be a pop star. There's an inner Korean pop star in me."
Chai obviously never made it as a big K-pop star, but he still has his eyes and ears on the music scene. "I love 2NE1!" he explained cheekily. "They're kind of the ones that make me smile, I think they do it really well. Big Bang's cool too, but I'm definitely more into the girl pop bands. The Wonder Girls are cute, but musically, I actually really like 2NE1. They're the ones that do it the best, and they're the ones that I think would have the most fashion cross over. I'd love to maybe take them out of their outrageousness, and do something more cool. Like bring them down a bit. I'd love to make them more sweet."

It's common knowledge that most brain growth occurs before children reach the age of kindergarten, which is why preschool is so important.
Just as most industrialized countries provide free, high-quality preschool for 3-, 4- and 5-year- olds, regardless of family income, so every toddler in the U.S. should have the opportunity to attend a high-quality, free preschool.
In the U.K., Luxembourg and the Netherlands virtually all 4-year-olds go to public school; recent reports also indicate that 70 percent of German, Danish and Greek 4-year-olds go to public school, in addition to over 90 percent of 4- and 5-year-olds in France, Italy and Spain.
The picture in the U.S. is different. Sadly, as President Obama observed in his State of the Union address, "Today, fewer than three in ten 4-year-olds are enrolled in a high-quality preschool program. Most middle-class parents can't afford a few hundred bucks a week for private preschool. And for poor kids who need help the most, the lack of access to preschool education can shadow them for the rest of their lives."
The White House pointed out that at-risk kids who don't go to preschool are:
• 25 percent more likely to drop out of school
• 60 percent more likely not to attend college
• 70 percent more likely to be arrested for a violent crime
Seen another way, poor children are behind from the beginning, both educationally and linguistically. Parents with professional jobs speak about 2,100 words an hour to toddlers, while those in poverty about 600, according to a study by Betty Hart and Todd Risley. The study says, "Between professional and welfare parents, there was a difference of almost 1,500 words spoken per hour."
It's called "the vocabulary gap," and the failure to close that gap can lead to an achievement gap. This can lead to dropping out of school, and ongoing consequences like unemployment and involvement in crime.
Following his push for free, universal preschool in the State of the Union address, President Obama traveled to Atlanta last week to push his plan for universal early education. The proposal received great fanfare, and for good reason.
But not everyone agrees.
Here Are 5 Ridiculous Responses To Obama's Universal Preschool Plan
* After listening to Obama's speech, House Speaker John Boehner declared flatly on the next day that the federal government getting involved in early childhood education is a "good way to screw it up."
* "It just doesn't make any sense," said Andrew J. Coulson, the director of the center for educational freedom at the Cato Institute, a libertarian group. "Why would you want to very expensively expand the programs like this if the evidence of effectiveness is not really sound?"
* Fox's Steve Varney suggested that Obama proposed universal preschool so that the current 4-year-olds will vote for him "in the future." According to Alternet, Varney said Obama's preschool plan is another example of the president offering "all kinds of free stuff to the people who will vote for you in the future."
* In another wonderful Fox News insight, Fox business host Gerri Willis characterized a program spending money to reduce high school dropout rates and teen pregnancies this way: "Preschool for everyone, are you kidding me? We don't have the money for that! … This is just crazy talk and I think it's immoral to put this across as something that's actually doable, when it's not."
* Writing in The Daily Caller, Joy Pullman decries preschool as undermining family values. Her evidence: in 2010, Swedish researchers published an alarming study linking the country's early childhood policies to a litany of evils: anxiety disorders, health problems, social neuroses, drops in learning, discipline problems, segregated labor markets, and more. Apparently, Sweden is becoming a social wreck. She warns President Obama to back off.
How depressing to read these responses to an idea that everyone should feel excited about. What do you think?

I went to preschool for two years, and was able to read at a third grade level at the age of 4. Preschool is a good thing, second only to super involved active parents who take an active roll in their children's education and development
yeah, the 4 year olds will DEFINITELY vote for Obama in the future ... In the next election..... When they're 7.
Obama 'll change the voting age to 6, too.
(Hope you're listening, Fox News...)
Please disregard my previous comment: I had to leave my house and was typing quickly.
Where are we heading with this? Are we going to start putting infants into school? This is just a stupid idea to waste lots of money. Where is parental responsibility in all this?
What a bunch of ninnies. Republicans are frightened of the strangest thing. 'Quick, grab your children, run! They are being threatened with (gasps of horror) FREE EDUCATION!!!!' Who knows where this might lead. Rejection of Faux 'news' as reality, a chance to succeed in life and (worst of all) intelligence.
The downfall of society will be from our Ignorance of the truth and our Arrogance in thinking we know it all. These statements alone should have us running toward more education for our children.
We are use to the posturing of politicians, but journalist should be held to a standard of truth. We need a new national Truth in Journalism Law. The airwaves are owned by the public and journalist that use them should be required to report the truth and non-misleading stories.
Ofcourse all European kids go to kindergarten=preschool. It's against the law to keep children away from kindergarten. Child abuse, denying a kid access to kindergarten. Most certainly.
Keeping kids stupid dates back to the Middle Ages. Poor American kids...
thanks for sharing
All this makes me wonder how I (age 65) and all the people before me survived without the opportunity to go to "pre school". Today, people want all kinds of services without ANY REGARD for who will pay for them.

Termination of pregnancy is a much more common occurrence than people generally realise.
Research shows that one in every three women will decide to have an abortion before they reach the age of forty-five.
If you have recently decided to terminate your pregnancy, you will need to find the right place to have the procedure that's both convenient and suitable, and where you feel safe and well-looked after.
This article on abortion and abortion clinics is written by Jackie Griffiths, a freelance journalist who writes health, medical, biological, and pharmaceutical articles for national and international journals, newsletters and web sites.
There are two main, well-known abortion clinic providers in the UK: the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), and Marie Stopes International, both of which are reputable, non-profit organisations. Together, they provide almost all abortions outside the NHS. If you want to find a clinic near to where you live, or indeed anywhere in the country, you could read either website BPAS or Marie Stopes, or use our pregnancy termination enquiry form and we will send a reply with information about prices and locations within 48 hours.
Current legislation in Britain states that women may have abortions any time up to twenty-four weeks into a pregnancy (and in some rare circumstances after this date), although many hospitals or clinics will not perform the operation after eighteen or twenty weeks. In cases where there is a substantial risk to the woman's life, or in cases of foetal abnormality, there is no legal time limit for abortion. Abortions at this very late stage are conducted at NHS hospitals.
Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy could be an important factor in choosing your abortion clinic.
There are two methods for terminating a pregnancy and different options for pain relief. Some procedures many require you to stay overnight, others allow you to go home a few hours later. These differences can affect the price.
The two methods for ending a pregnancy are:
- Medical termination – taking drugs to produce a short labour and expulsion of the foetus
- Surgical termination – a minor operation where the surgeon removes the foetus
Medical termination
Up to 9 weeks
This method involves swallowing a small pill (usually mifepristone) which stops the effects of progesterone that's naturally produced in high quantities during pregnancy. Two days later you will need to return to the hospital to have four tablets of misoprostol inserted vaginally, which will bring on cramping within a few hours. You may be allowed to go home for the abortion to happen, which can take between four and six hours to complete. You will need a follow-up appointment to confirm the medicines have been completely effective and that there is no remaining tissue.
9-23 weeks 5 days
You will have two visits to your hospital, the first in order to swallow a small mifepristone tablet to stop the effects of progesterone, and the second to allow the pregnancy to finish.
If your pregnancy is more than twenty weeks, you will need an additional procedure at this point: under local anaesthetic or a light general anaesthetic a doctor will insert a needle into the uterus to inject a medicine which stops the foetal heart.
After two days or so you will need to go back to the hospital where some more pills will be inserted vaginally in order to bring on contractions. After a few hours (usually between six and eight), the pregnancy will have ended. Painkillers, including morphine, are available to dull the pain, as you need not experience any discomfort.
Surgical termination
This is the most common method of abortion and takes approximately five to ten minutes. Depending on the type of procedure used and how far advanced the pregnancy is, you can either have just a local anaesthetic, gas and air, a short-acting general anaesthetic, or deep sedation.
Vacuum aspiration – involves gently stretching the cervix using thin metal rods, and emptying the uterus with a gentle manual or electric suction. This procedure usually takes between ten - fifteen minutes to complete.
Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) – involves taking a tablet to soften the cervix and having dilators inserted to help to stretch it open (during pregnancy the cervix is closed). If you are more than twenty weeks into your pregnancy, a doctor will insert a needle into the uterus to inject medicine to stop the foetal heart. The following day, you will be given a general anaesthetic and forceps will be used to remove the pregnancy.
These days it's unusual to need an overnight stay for any of the pregnancy termination procedures mentioned above, but it's a good idea to check beforehand so you can make appropriate plans. When choosing an abortion clinic, make sure they provide the service you're interested in, and that the total price is quoted upfront. As you may have to make several trips, you might want to choose one near to where you live, or alternatively you may want to stay in a hotel or bed and breakfast near a clinic if it's further away.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
The Carbon County Commission conducted a special meeting to discuss ongoing issues with dust suppression and road conditions in Nine Mile Canyon on Tuesday.
The Nov. 18 meeting's main focal point was a presentation by representatives from the Bill Barrett Corporation. The company has considerable drilling interests in the canyon.
Starting the meeting. Carbon Commissioner Bill Krompel detailed a trip he had taken through Nine Mile and reported seeing significant improvements in the road.
Krompel indicated that current suppression was good. He said there was no dust at the time of his trip where the suppressant had been applied.
A report completed by Brian Barton and Garrett McMullin of Jones and DeMille explained that four one-mile sections of road that were chosen from Harmon Canyon to Cottonwood Ridge to evaluate different types of dust suppression products.
The capabilities of the four different suppression methods included:
â¢Fugitive dust sampling and gravimetric filtration devices.
â¢Quantitative observations of density and straight edge smoothness.
â¢Professional observations of opacity and maintenance.
The project began 1,000 feet south of the Hunter Panel.Some 1,500 feet of separation between the project and panel were provided to prevent packing of the soil by over-tracking.
Additionally, the suppression products were only applied to native soils.
The test areas and products were tested because conventional applications of magnesium chloride have been deemed possibly damaging to native rock art, pointed out Barton and DeMille.
Magnesium chloride can also be slippery, denying traction the motor vehicles that travel along the canyon roads.
According to Commissioner Mike Milovich, the county will most likely use lignosulfate on the road in the particular area because of its cost, performance and continued maintenance.
"Our goal is to use the safest product available while protecting the native art in the area," pointed out Milovich. "However, if we get farther down the road and find that a different product is more cost effective than the lignosulfate, then we will change products."
The road composition changes as a vehicle moves through the canyon so the same dust suppressant may not work on the entire area, continued Milovich. The commissioner explained that, while everyone would like to see the road paved, the development was not something that was going to happen during his lifetime due to permit and logistical issues - not to mention cost.
Along with dust suppression, the group discussed the damaging affect flash flooding can have in the canyon and on dust suppression materials that have been applied.
Jones and DeMille recommended that the county should:
â¢Properly ditch and crown the road which will dramatically increase the longevity of the dust suppressants.
â¢Maintain and improve the roadway drainage to help protect their investment in the road.
â¢Raise the roadway in incised areas to prevent run-on.
â¢Make decisions on suppressant depending on the location the chemical will be used.
â¢Develop a flexible plan and use all tested materials that are viable for controlling dust.
â¢Optimize use of a particular suppressant by examining soil conditions, roadway utilization and operating cost.
â¢Note that areas treated with sub-grade using pulverized imported granular improved surface performance.
â¢Note that suppressants with tallow perform better in locations where drainage exists.
â¢Maintain treatment frequencies based on traffic fluctuations, storm events and other factors.
Barton and McMullin also provided a detailed list of the combinations of suppressants that worked best in all four of the test areas studied in Nine Mile Canyon.
Some people in attendance at the special county commission meeting, including Steve Tanner, felt that the report did not address the real problems with the road, but only applied a Bandaid.
"This doesn't offer us a permanent solution to the problems in the canyon," said Tanner.
Commissioner Johnny Jones stated that it was his understanding that the meeting was called to find a solution to the dust control problem only. However, Tanner insisted that improvement and maintenance of existing roads and industrial traffic needed to be further addressed.
"Why wasn't the the testing done in an area with more traffic," asked Tanner?
"We had to start somewhere," replied Commissioner Bill Krompel.
The commissioners approved the study and made plans to discuss the findings further at the county government's regularly scheduled meeting on Nov. 19.

applications for custom business processes can be simple and easy.
Though they provide the basic building blocks of a full-featured
application, the examples used in this article are just a starting
Getting started with BlackBerry development means getting used
to the "http://www.blackberry.com/developers/downloads/jde/index.shtml">BlackBerry
Java Development Environment provided by Research in Motion.
Though it lacks many of the features of the better IDEs available
to Java developers, the packaging and debugging conveniences that
it does offer make it all but required. The good news is that the
BlackBerry JDE can be freely downloaded from the blackberry.com
website and it contains everything you will need to create J2ME
applications for the BlackBerry, including a device emulator. The
BlackBerry JDE is Windows-only, and though it may be possible to
develop applications on other platforms, the emulator and debugger
will not be available. I won't go into using the JDE in depth, but
a full workspace file is provided in the "#resources">Resources section of this article, so building and
running the sample application should be easy.
Building a User Interface
In our application, we will create three Java classes:
DataCaptureScreen, and
ConnectionThread. The
DataCapture class
is the main class of the application and does little other than
instantiate the UI class and the networking class.
screen = new DataCaptureScreen();
pushScreen( screen );
Our application extends
UIApplication--the base
class for all BlackBerry applications that have a user interface--and the
pushScreen() method makes our UI active. In
the case of our example application, there is only one screen.
However, the
UIApplication class contains a stack of
screens. To display a new screen, simply invoke
pushScreen() to push it onto the stack. When
popScreen() is called, the new screen closes and the
next one on the stack is displayed.
Everything the user sees and interacts with is contained in our
DataCaptureScreen class. The constructor handles
instantiation of all of the UI elements. Once these have been
created, they work as expected, with no additional programming
required. Developers familiar with Swing or AWT programming will be
in comfortable territory. It is possible to create MIDP
applications that run on devices other than the BlackBerry, but the
BlackBerry API provides a host of classes that allows developers to
take full advantage of the platform. For applications that will be
deployed only on the BlackBerry, the device-specific APIs should
be used. This is especially true for UI elements, as users will
expect the application to behave in a ways similar to the standard
applications deployed to the device.
For most types of user input, there is a corresponding field or
field filter. The
DateField class presents the user
with an input that can be changed using the space bar and scroll
wheel to select the desired state and time.
DateField dateTimeField =
new DateField("Date: ", System..currentTimeMillis(),
In this constructor, the field is instantiated with the current
date and time through the second argument. This first argument is
the label for the field, which displays on the same line. The third
argument to the constructor is the style for this field. Passing
DateField.DATE or
DateField.TIME will
create a field for date-only or time-only entry, respectively.
The other fields on the screen provide similar arguments, such
as the field label passed in first, and are created in much the
same way as the
private ObjectChoiceField category =
new ObjectChoiceField("Category:",
new String[]
{ "Hardware", "Software", "Network" });
private AutoTextEditField user =
new AutoTextEditField("User:", "");
private BasicEditField phone =
new BasicEditField("Contact #: ", "", 10,
private AutoTextEditField notes =
new AutoTextEditField("Notes:", "");
ObjectChoiceField provides an interface similar
to a drop-down menu within a web browser. Users can cycle through
the list by clicking the space bar, which allows for fast and
reliable data entry. The
AutoTextEditField is for
standard text entry. It differs from the
BasicEditField in that any data entry shortcuts
defined on the device are respected when the user types within this
field. Also, the initial letter is capitalized.
The field defined for entry of a phone number begins as a
BasicEditField, but two restrictions are placed on it
through the third and fourth arguments.
private BasicEditField phone =
new BasicEditField( "Contact #: ","", 10,
The third argument is the field length. The fourth argument is
the field "style," a set of constants that restrict the data that
can be entered into the field. Creating a field using the
EditField.FILTER_PHONE argument restricts the
characters for that field to numerals, dashes, parentheses, and the
"x" character. This is especially handy on the BlackBerry, as most
devices use the same keys for numbers as for letters. Using
entering data into a field that only accepts numbers, these keys
are automatically translated to input numbers without forcing the
user to press the
Shift key. A variety of other filters and styles
are available, and it is recommended that the developer take
advantage of them when appropriate. Field styles make user input
faster and more reliable, and can make data validation easier for
the developer.
Figure 1 shows these fields as rendered by the emulator.
Figure 1. Input fields
Listening for Events
The last element in our user interface is the button for sending
the data.
private ButtonField sendButton = new ButtonField("Send");
Now that the
DataCaptureScreen has the appropriate
elements as instance properties, all that is left is to put them on
the screen; a task handled by the constructor.
setTitle("Data Capture");
add(new SeparatorField());
FieldListener sendListener = new FieldListener();
As the
DataCaptureScreen class extends the
MainScreen class, it inherits the methods necessary
for placing components on the screen. More complex and
sophisticated layout managers are available, but the simple
vertical layout manager of the
MainScreen class is enough for most
uses. Each field is placed on a new line, beneath the one before it.
Labels are left-justified; fields are right-justified.
The final piece of our example user interface is the
ButtonField and the associated
FieldChangeListener, which is implemented as an inner
class FieldListener implements
FieldChangeListener {
public void fieldChanged(Field field,
int context) {
//button action
setChangeListener() on the
ButtonField activates the button in the user
interface. It's possible to have multiple buttons using the same
FieldChangeListener interface. In the case of our
example, we have only one, but simply testing for equality between
Field argument in the
fieldChanged() method and
the instance of the field or button will determine which registered
field has changed.
Other UI Considerations
The default close behavior for classes that extend
MainScreen is to present a save dialog box. Because
our application has no concept of persistence, we suppress the
dialog by overriding
onClose(), something you'll want
to do most of the time.
Also, because the example application has only a single action,
one button works well. In many instances, you will want to make use
of the context menu, which is available to users on the device by
depressing the scroll wheel. This menu makes actions accessible
from anywhere on the screen, just as right-clicking with the mouse does
in a desktop environment. Given the small screen, buttons
can quickly clutter the user interface. The menu is more desirable
for screens with multiple actions or navigation options.
Establishing a Network Connection
Now that the user has entered the information into the user
interface and pressed the
Send button, our
ConnectionThread class will handle transmitting the
data across the network. In an environment using the BlackBerry
Enterprise Server, this connection can take place "behind the
firewall." The wireless transmission from the device is encrypted,
and the BES can connect to intranet servers not exposed to traffic
from the public internet. In a real-world application, the
https protocol might be a better choice, not only
because it provides additional security, but also because it
provides authentication, allowing the receiving server to know who
sent the data.
Custom BlackBerry applications that attempt network connections
display a prompt to the user before opening the connection.
However, only one thread may have access to the user interface at a
time on a BlackBerry device. If a connection is made from the
MainScreen thread, the screen will be locked and the
user will not see the prompt. The networking thread in the example
application runs in an infinite loop, checking each time for a
change in the Boolean
start or
stop class properties. The interface
to this class comes in the
post() method.
public void post(String url, String data) {
this.url = url;
this.data = data;
sendResult = false;
sending = true;
start = true;
The class properties in the
instance are set with the arguments. With our URL and data in
place, the
run() method detects that
start is now
true and makes the network
private void httpPost() {
HttpConnection conn = null;
OutputStream out = null;
int responseCode;
try {
conn = (HttpConnection) Connector
out = conn.openOutputStream();
responseCode = conn.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode !=
HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
sendResult = false;
} else {
sendResult = true;
start = false;
sending = false;
} catch (IOException e) {
start = false;
sendResult = false;
sending = false;
We use the
Connector class to get our
HttpConnection. This is a factory class that handles
the device-specific networking issues and returns an
HttpConnection without the developer having to worry
about the details. The
Connector class has powerful
features for controlling the network connection, but the defaults
will work in most cases. If the device is outside of network
coverage, or otherwise unable to connect to the server, the user
must try again later. In a real-world application, the data could
be persisted and sent at a later time. Posting the data to the URL
works the same as in J2SE, but getting the results is a little more
difficult on the BlackBerry because of the threading issues.
Displaying the Results
MainScreen class watches the
ConnectionThread until it is through sending, then
reads the result and displays a pop-up message. A
"Sending..."message is displayed to the user, as seen in Figure 2,
so that the device does not appear to be frozen.
Figure 2. "Sending" dialog
while (connThread.sending) {
try {
Status.show( sb.append(".").toString() );
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
if (connThread.sendResult) {
Status.show("Transmission Successful");
} else {
Status.show("Transmission Failed");
Each thread has its own responsibility. In this case, the
application waits for the connection to succeed or fail, but it's
possible to allow the user to continue to work while the networking
thread attempts to connect.
The power and usefulness of mobile devices lies in the ability to
extend existing applications beyond the desktop or browser. With
the BlackBerry, this power comes standard with regard to email and
calendar. However, developers can bring many more useful tasks to
network-connected mobile devices. Though J2ME and the BlackBerry
API may be unfamiliar to some, I hope that this article shows that
building custom applications for BlackBerry devices does not have
to be difficult.

text: Emergent gravity scenarios have become increasingly popular in recent times. In this talk I will review some evidence in this sense and discuss some lessons from toy models based on condensed matter analogues of gravity. These lessons suggest some (possibly) general features of the emergent gravity framework which not only can be tested with current astrophysical observations but can also improve our understanding of cosmological puzzles such as the dark energy one. I shall review these tests and expectations and discuss the perspectives of this line of research and emergent gravity scenarios at large.

The work was reported June 8 in the advance online issue of The EMBO Journal, a publication of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO).
Tumor cells that grow aggressively often have an irregular number of chromosomes, the structures in cells that carry genetic information. The normal number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46, or 23 pairs. Aggressive tumor cells often have fewer or more than 23 pairs of chromosomes, a condition called aneuploidy.
To date it has not been clear how tumor cells become aneuploid.
"Checkpoint proteins" within cells work to prevent cells from dividing with an abnormal number of chromosomes, but scientists have been puzzled by evidence that aneuploidy can result even when these proteins appear to be normal.
What MIT researchers have discovered is a reason these checkpoint proteins may be unable to sense the defective cells, which tend to have very subtle errors in them. (These subtle errors are believed to be the cause of aneuploidy and the rapid growth of tumors.)
Before cells divide, individual chromosomes in each pair of chromosomes must attach to a set of tiny structures called microtubules. If they attach correctly, the checkpoint proteins give them the go-ahead to divide. If they don't, the checkpoint proteins are supposed to stop them from dividing.
"The checkpoint proteins are like referees in a tug-of-war contest," said Viji Draviam, a research scientist in MIT's Department of Biology and lead author of the paper. "They make sure that all chromosomes are lined up in the right places before the cell is allowed to divide."
Scientists have known about the function of checkpoint proteins for at least 20 years, and they have suspected that mutations in checkp

FRC Southwest wins basketball tournament
The basketball team from Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) Southwest, Detachment Point Mugu, took first place in the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) basketball intramurals, defeating perennial winner Old School 62 to 49 Wednesday, Aug. 28.
The basketball season was made up of six regular season games followed by a double elimination tournament.
"The 11 teams that started the tournament were eliminated one by one until we were left with FRC (No. 3 seed) playing Old School (No. 1 seed) in the finals," said Colin Campbell, the intramural sports coordinator for Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR). "Old School lost to FRC earlier in the winners' bracket, so they needed to defeat FRC twice in a row to take the championship. FRC came out strong and didn't let up to take a definitive victory in the first game and in the tournament."
The team was coached by Chris Gappi, facilities manager for FRC. The assistant coach was Aviation Machinist's Mate 1st Class Christian Galman. Players included Aircrew Survival Equipmentman 2nd Class Robert Armstrong, Aviation Support Equipment Technician 2nd Class Aaron Elam, Aviation Maintenance Administrationman 1st Class Damian McCarthy, Aviation Structural Mechanic 2nd Class Lincoln Daley, Aviation Maintenance Administrationman 2nd Class Brooke Stott, Aircrew Survival Equipmentman Airman Jahmal Hailstockthomas, Aviation Machinist's Mate 2nd Class Bennett Osboro, Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Anthony Bennekin and Aviation Support Equipment Technician 2nd Class Connor Curtis.
The intramural sports season continues with flag football. The first game was Sept. 11. Fourteen teams are each playing 10 games during the regular season, which will end Oct. 30. After that, there will be a double elimination tournament to determine this year's league champion.
Games are being held on Stinger's Softball Complex, NBVC Port Hueneme.

Gaga, Gaga, everywhere and, well, everywhere.
It's quiet out there on the fashion news front, except for one thing: the entire world (and their news-based counterparts) seem to have gone gaga for Gaga.
Sprinkled amongst the debut of H&M's Garden line and Kevin Spacey's endorsement of Kate Moss' acting skills are about 8927348293432 billion stories covering Lady Gaga. No, we're not exaggerating.
Since most sites do some version of a news round-up, we've decided to do our own: All The Gaga News That's Fit To Print. It's a one-stop shop for everything related to the Queen of Pop, Fashion, and Crazy Costumes.
This tidbit comes via WWD and is probably the biggest of the bunch. Word has it that the singer is planning on capitalizing on her out-there eye wear by collaborating on a sunglasses line with London-based brand Linda Farrow. This makes sense because she wore sunglasses made of lit cigarettes in her Telephone video. Also: people would buy them.
Gaga Goes Fishing In High-Heels And Underwear
This is probably my favorite piece from the last 24 hours. As you all know, Lady Gaga has spent the last week or so in New Zealand — remember the helicopter? — and while there, took a two-day (and much-needed!) break on the island of Waiheke. Gaga has said that she'd never let her fans see her anything less than fully Gaga-ed out, so it shouldn't be surprising that she decided to go fishing in her "eight-inch heels, undies and a man's business shirt – that's it. She still had her bright yellow hair." This comes via Jason Schwarz, the general manager of Waiheke's Goldwater Estate, who witnessed Gaga's fishing fashion explosion. The best part of this whole story came from The Cut, who managed to get their hands on an exclusive photo. You should really check it out.
Gaga Passes Out On Stage Three Times
This has nothing to do with fashion but is obviously newsworthy because it is, well, crazy. Apparently the Gagster was having some troubles on stage during a recent concert in Auckland; reports describe the singer as "half-heartedly joining in the dance routine to her hit Bad Romance, before lying down on the stage." And now the Lady herself has come forward with an explanation which is as intense as it is awesome.
"I was so jetlagged, I got in the night before and the jetlag just really caught up with me. I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I'd rather die on stage than walk off the stage because I was going to pass out. I said, 'Lay down and sing those lyrics, you little b**ch,' then you see at the end of Bad Romance, I get up and hit that last eight count. It's never happened to me before, I was just really tired."
Gaga Used To Wear Abercrombie & Fitch
There is photo evidence on the Internet that Lady Gaga was normal before she was Lady Gaga. She went by Stephanie Germanotta and she used to wear normal American things like Abercrombie & Fitch and ill-fitting halter tops. She also, once, pet a puppy. Photo evidence of these looney-tunes facts can be found here.
Lady Gaga Becomes First Artist With 1 Billion Online Video Views
This is cool because it just proves that everyone in the world is obsessed with Gaga. According to ONTD, there is a video analytics company out there curates a list of online videos called the "100 Million Club." Gaga is on this list three times: "Poker Face" (374,606,128), "Just Dance" (272,941,674), and "Bad Romance" (360,020,327). The views for these three videos add up to just over one billion pageviews. That is a lot. (And we are surprised "Telephone" isn't on there yet.)
And that's all for today. (So far.)

Buzz: Mets Might Be Looking for Another Shortstop, Or Not
According to Adam Rubin of the Daily News, there is no chance the Mets acquire Cristian Guzman.
Original Post, March 16 at 9:18 pm:
In a post to Twitter, Rich Coutinho of ESPN 1050 radio says the Mets might be looking to acquire a shortstop, and they could be discussing acquiring Cristian Guzman from the Nationals.
…i don't think acquiring someone is a bad idea, considering there is uncertainty as to when Jose Reyes is returning as well as Ruben Tejada and his readiness for the Major Leagues, not to mention the range and durability questions surrounding Alex Cora, but does Guzman make them better than they are right now, without Reyes, and what would the cost be…Guzman would certainly give Tejada an opportunity to hone his skills in the minors and keep him out of the spotlight for now, but while he would give the team some Major League experience at shortstop as they wait for Reyes, Guzman has glass hands in the field, and what will they do with him after Reyes returns, should they acquire him…i suppose he could take over for Luis Castillo should he struggle early on, but either Castillo or Guzman would be expensive players to have on the bench…
In 135 games for the Nationals last year, Guzman hit .284 with six home runs and 52 RBI, but made 20 errors at shortstop in 117 games, all while earning $8 million.
