MILWAUKEE - Joe Saunders doesn't allow his thoughts about next season to drift too far before he stops them cold.
He might have less than 1�1/2 seasons with the Diamondbacks, but the left-hander says he feels a connection to the organization and doesn't want his days with the team to come to an end.
"I just want to be a part of it," Saunders said when asked about the team's chances for 2012.
"For me, I hope they want me back. It would be a great honor to be back and be able to make another run at this thing.
"That's where I'm at. I can't worry about stuff I can't control."
This season, Saunders provided stability and durability to a club that won 94 games and the National League West, but his results and potential salary for next season come together at a tricky catch-22:
He had a good enough year that the Diamondbacks would be comfortable bringing him back, but his results might have been so good as to drive his 2012 salary into a range the team is unwilling to pay.
It's another thing the Diamondbacks will be mulling this off-season, which continues this week when baseball's general managers meet here.
Saunders earned $5.5 million this year and is entering his final season of arbitration eligibility.
Coming off a season in which he posted a 3.69 ERA and threw a career-high 212 innings, Saunders could earn more than $8 million in the arbitration process.
If the Diamondbacks deem him too expensive, they can simply not tender him a contract, thus making him a free agent.
Saunders hopes it doesn't come to that.
"You've got to kind of wait it out and see what they want to do," Saunders said. "That's all I can do.
"See what they want to do and hopefully (they) want to have me here, because I want to be here."
The Diamondbacks have until Dec. 12 to decide whether to non-tender him, and it seems as if they will use the time between now and then to gauge how Saunders' potential arbitration cost stacks up to the open market.
General Manager Kevin Towers said Friday that he already had "reached out to a couple of pitchers who are free agents," one of whom could be right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, the former Dodgers pitcher whom Foxsports.com reported would be a target for the Diamondbacks.
"If we get out there and find out that the price for free-agent pitching is above and beyond where we think the value is on those guys, we have a great internal candidate in Joe," Towers said.
"And we've got a lot of young pitching depth, too. . . . We're going to see where the free-agent market shakes out, see where the dollars are at and what our options are. When it's all said and done, we might find out that most of the best options are here internally with Saunders and the kids we've got in our system."
Pitching prospects such as Jarrod Parker, Tyler Skaggs, Patrick Corbin and Trevor Bauer are considered to be big-league ready or close to it and, unlike Saunders, they would be in line to make the league-minimum salary.
Saunders wouldn't say what he would do if the club approaches him about a contract valued at less than what he'd make in arbitration. But it seems unlikely he would want to come back on a one-year deal for less; were he to become a free agent, he'd probably be able to secure a multiyear deal from another club.
"My biggest thing is durability," Saunders said. "I'm going to make every start. I'm going to chew up as many innings as I can.
"That's my goal every time - to go deep into games, and I think I did that pretty well this year."
But he might have to wait for the market to play out before he knows who he'll be pitching for next year.

The new cave entrance looks good. If you want it to have the illusion of going down, I'd try creating a custom graphic for that. If you could somehow edit the "downward cave entrance" to fit properly with the other graphics, maybe it would seem fitting.
I love the new Pokémon Center. The idea of merging a PC and PM seems so fitting, that it also saves on mapping space. The PC and PM merged together looks really cool.
And the border around the kitchen makes sense. It doesn't seem out of place, and I just think it's a good idea.

UAE targets activists as clampdown widens

|Amnesty International, UAE targets activists as clampdown widens, 28 April 2011, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4dbe5fa31a.html [accessed 28 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The arrest of six civil society activists and the government's takeover of a rights organization in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are part of a worrying clampdown on dissent in the country, Amnesty International said today.
Five of the activists were among more than 100 signatories of a recent petition calling for democratic reforms in the UAE, according to local media reports.
At the same time, a lawyer for three of the detainees has said that he has received anonymous threats via Facebook and by way of text messages.
The UAE authorities also dissolved the board of the Jurists Association, a leading civil rights organization after it joined a call for greater democracy alongside three other civil society organizations. Board members have been replaced with state-appointees for a six-month period.
"These recent arrests and the government's takeover of the Jurists Association fly in the face of international standards on freedom of expression, assembly and association," said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Director.
"They are a reminder that the UAE still has far to go when it comes to upholding human rights.
"The UAE authorities must immediately release these activists if they are being detained for the peaceful expression of their beliefs."
The five activists who are currently detained include Ahmad Mansoor, a blogger associated with the Hewar online political forum, who was arrested in Abu Dhabi on 8 April; and Nasser bin Ghaith, an economist, university lecturer and advocate of political reform, who was arrested on 10 April in Dubai. The others are Fahad Salim Dalk, Ahmed Abdul Khaleq and Hassan Ali al-Khamis.
Fahad Salem al-Shehhi, head of al-Shohooh National Heritage Association, one of the three other organizations that signed the call for greater democracy, was detained on 10 April in Ajman Emirate but is reported to have been released seven days later. He too is associated with the Hewar online political forum which is blocked by the UAE authorities.
"Two years ago the UAE government told the UN Human Rights Council that it was committed to improving dialogue with civil society organizations," said Malcolm Smart.
"The government's recent actions, however, suggest that it may now be reneging on that promise.
"This worrying trend must be halted immediately and the rights to freedom of expression and association must be protected in the UAE."

DC's Seminal Indiepop Dance Night
w/ DJ Mark Zimin and DJ Stereo Faith
$10 Mainstage / Doors at 9:30
Founded 1999 in Washington DC, The Mousetrap has retained its status as one of the most important DJ nights in the past 15 years, becoming the progenitor of many nights to follow and establishing a huge pantheon of Britpop and Indiepop tunes as standards in the minds of party-goers. The first night in DC to break out Belle & Sebastian in 1999, Peter Bjorn & John in 2006 and MGMT's "Kids" in 2008. Considered a "retro" night by many because we always acknowledge our Indiepop heroes every party, we care as much about the new tracks as the old and try to give everything a fair shake. We play everything from mid-80's C86, late-70's punk to the leading edge of indie guitar pop.
The Mousetrap recognizes its 15th Anniversary on Friday, June 27th. Join us as we celebrate a decade and a half of dancing to the music you know and love, and wish founder Mark Zimin "farewell" as he relocates to the west coast on the 30th.

Tailevu Naitasiri registered a 2-1 win over Rakiraki in the first leg of the Viti Levu playoff at Ratu Cakobau Park in Nausori this afternoon.
The hosts with the likes of Ravinesh SIngh, Jale Vota, Jonas Naceva and Josaia Ratu dominated possession in the first spell and got their opening goal just before halftime through a Hoteshwar Padarath header.
Tailevu Naitasiri led 1-0 at the break and Rakoraki had the chance to equalise after the break through a penalty but the attempt by George Goundar hit the post and went out of play.
Tailevu Naitasiri increased its lead midway in the second spell through striker Jale Vota who was up against his home town.
Rakiraki managed to pull one back in the dying stages of the match through Ili Gaunavou Junior.
Tailevu Naitasiri now needs a draw in the second leg in Ra to claim its spot in the premier final against northern winners Taveuni.

There was a time when it was necessary for Dr Tej K Kaul to get his articles published in the medical journals so as to be eligible for a promotion. It was one of the main parametres for acquiring higher ranks.
A consultant in anaesthesiology at MM Institute of Medical Education and Research,Mullana (Ambala),Dr Kaul still spends three to four hours every day on publishing articles. The only difference is that now he is not publishing his own articles but the articles of the others. The ones sent to him by doctors from India as well as UK,USA,Pakistan,Bangladesh and Nepal.
And that is part of his job as the chief editor of Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology,which he is heading for the last eight years,after putting in 31 years at the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital in the city. Dr Kaul,who is providing his professional services to various medical institutes regularly,has established himself as the longest serving chief editor of a medical magazine in any speciality in this part of the country.
The magazine is published by him for the Research Society of Anaesthesiology in the city itself and is circulated to more than 3,000 people worldwide,with about 150 libraries subscribing to it.
Being the chief editor of the prestigious quarterly journal is a very difficult and time-consuming task,says Dr Kaul,But it is something that gives me a kick and makes me feel ecstatic when I hold a new issue of the journal in my hand.
It has been an addiction for me all these years now and I cannot go to sleep unless I have read a few articles sent to me for my approval,discuss the possible changes to be made in the new edition among other things, he beams,while editing an article.
The most welcome-change Dr Kaul effected in the 25-year history of the journal,however,remains to be the availability of the journal on the Internet. I started the online edition of the journal in 2002 and all the archives of the journal can also be accessed on http://www.joacp.org, he proudly says,adding the website now gets more than 1,000 hits a day. What is more,Dr Kaul has reduced to the paper work to nil as it has been made mandatory for the writers to submit the articles through electronic mail only.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking at Zimbra as a possible replacement for MS Exchange at my organization. I have to say, I love the SOAP interfaces and have already played with integrating some Zimbra functions into our existing staff portal. Really great architecture.
One thing has me puzzled though. I haven't been able to find a way to access information about the current user's account (as a regular user, not an admin user). Specifically, I would like to retrieve the information entered into the "Contact Information" tab when editing the account in zimbraAdmin.
Right now I'd like to do this from a Zimlet, but later would also like to access the data from an external app using SOAP (for example, the Department field could be useful on our portal page to display custom content to the user based on which department they are in. I already have preauth/single-signon working so that is not a problem).
I have searched the forums and documentation and have not be able to find anywhere that this information is accessible outside of zimbraAdmin. GetInfoRequest looked promising, but it doesn't return the account's contact information. In soap.txt under GetInfoResponse it says "Only attributes listed in zimbraAccountClientAttrs will be returned" ... I thought maybe I could modify that value to have it also return the contact info but I couldn't find any reference to zimbraAccountClientAttrs outside of that document. Not in the forums, not in the documentation, not even from a Google search.
So my question is... is this contact information accessible somehow? If so, how? :)
Thanks in advance,

The small intestine constitutes 75% of the alimentary tract and averages 22 ft. in length. For the area exposed, the small intestine enjoys as great an immunity from new growth as any part of the body. In contrast, the stomach and the colon, which precede and follow the small bowel, are the sites of more than 40% of all malignant growths. No satisfactory explanation has been found for the low incidence of new growth in this segment of the gastrointestinal tract. The most widely accepted hypothesis is that of the alkalinity of the bowel contents and the minimum of stasis and kinking in this segment of the bowel.1
The preoperative recognition of small bowel tumors parallels the development of roentgenology. During the past few years these lesions have aroused an increasing interest and are being recognized with greater frequency.2-7

Do-it-Yourself Abortions Offered in Springfield, Illinois
By Brenda Steele
Planned Parenthood is at it again. This time, in Springfield, IL they're offering "do-it-yourself" abortions through the use of drugs so that women can "complete" the killing of their babies within the comfort of their own homes. Oh, and I forgot to mention, at the bargain basement price of only $435.
An article in The State Journal-Register offers a very unbiased report on this new effort by Planned Parenthood to make abortion accessible to all. Citing that "some residents have had to drive at least 90 minutes to abortion providers" Stephanie Cox, a PP nurse -practitioner, notes that she is "relieved" this will no longer be necessary.
"I have seen so many women just devastated that they have to travel," she said. "I just know it's very burdensome for some women, especially women with small children already, or who can't get off work."
These "medication abortions" are by appointment only at the Springfield, IL PP health center. Once there, the "patient" is given one drug in pill form, mifepristone (RU-486), to be taken at the clinic. They are sent home with another pill, misoprostol, to consume, which should cause the baby to be aborted within 24 – 48 hours. Just think, you're in and out in a short period of time, armed with meds to "do the job," and headed for home.
Enter Shirley Caldwell Smith and Springfield Right to Life, thank goodness! They've already held a prayer vigil at the PP clinic and aired a minute long radio ad asking community members to pray for the lives of these unborn babies who will die if abortion comes to Springfield. Let's hope they keep up the protests, and let's all pray that their efforts will change the hearts of some of these women considering aborting their babies.

"With a B.A. degree in English from Lenoir-Rhyne College, I utilize my love of the written word with the science of massage to educate clients. The more we know about the capability of the human body and brain, the better able we are to facilitate wellness.
"I have been doing massage for seven years and have received training in over twenty different modalities with advanced training in Oncology Massage, Dr. John Upledger's Craniosacral Therapy, Advanced Bodywork and Structural Rebalancing, Healing Touch and Deep Tissue Therapy.
"I take pride in getting to know my clients. Each session allows ample time for consultation, so that the time you spend on the table can be intentional and deliberate."
"I am 23 years experienced and trained in a multitude of Therapeutic Techniques. The techniques I most frequently integrate into my massages are Swedish, Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point, Onsen and Craniosacral Therapy, but I can pull from various other trainings to help meet your needs.
"Whether it's stress relief, pain management, or wellness maintenance, my goal is for you to receive the best bodywork for your ultimate health."
"I graduated from the Center for Massage and Natural Health in 2003 and received my National Certification and State License. I have taken classes in Spa Treatments and Lypossage, Taut Band Therapy & Pain Reduction in Upper Body, Thai Massage, Esalen Massage & Bodywork, Kinesio Taping and Myofacial Sports Massage. I am also certified in Medical Massage and Medical Massage Cupping. I am also a certified continuing education teacher in Body Wraps and Spa Treatments. I have spent the last ten years working in three different Salon and Day Spa's."
"I have been a successful, professional and enthusiastic massage therapist for more than 16 years. I offer a variety of treatments including Swedish Massage/Pure Relaxing, Deep Tissue/Deep Listening, Hot Stones Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Chair Massage, Energy Healing and Sports Massage. I work with chiropractors, Spas and Private Practice. Continuous education is a must and I have added a variant of other relevant techniques like Pre-Natal Massage, Birth Doula and Kinesio Taping to my portfolio. I use my intuition and education to provide my clients with the most effective treatment I can."
"Why do I do what I do? I believe Michael Bridge said it better than I ever could so I am going to borrow his words. 'When our eyes see our hands doing the work of our hearts, the circle of creation is completed inside us, the doors of our Souls fly open and Love steps forth to heal everything in sight.'
"By nature, I am a kinesthetic person. This means that touch and movement have always been my primary sense for understanding the world around me and my place in it. In my late 20s I was drawn to yoga and after a few years of practice I decided that I really wanted to learn a lot more. So I moved to The Himalayan Institute, a yoga education and retreat center in PA, where I immersed myself in spiritual community and the study and practice of yoga philosophy. From there I spent a year in Southern California working on organic farms as a member of WWOOF prior to moving to the mountains of WNC to make a home. It was in Asheville at the Center For Massage and Natural Health that I became licensed as a massage therapist 3 years ago. Today, I live and practice in Hendersonville, absolutely in love with the work and continual learning that are part of my profession. I wholeheartedly welcome the opportunity to work with you in finding a sense of greater ease, well-being, and overall connected-ness in your body!"
"Why do you do what you do now?" is what I often hear. I spent years working in the phone company and getting massages to take away the stress. When I left I decided that since I loved getting massages, I would also love to give them. And I do!
In today's very stress-filled world, relaxation, I believe, is key to keeping it simple. There's no way to avoid stress, but I can help you manage it.
I graduated 3 years ago from Massage school (in CT) and fall in love with massage every single time I give one. I love helping others to relax and getting rid of their headaches and stressed stiff muscles. I start with a light touch, going deeper as the muscles relax (therapeutic depth) and increase your range of motion. I can also incorporate aromatherapy, hot stones and deep tissue as need be.
Headaches? Stiff shoulders? Migraines? I have specialized training in that as well.
I have worked in a number of different day spas and incorporate whatever is needed to help you relax and become a less stressed individual.
Marianne Williamson expressed it well by reminding us, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." It is my heartfelt compassion to help others find the courage to embrace their light through massage therapy. Others gave me this healing gift as I searched for my life's purpose and I am invited to pay it forward.
My 25-year law enforcement career led me down a path that required a healing journey back from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A combination of both counseling and massage therapy have helped me discover that no wound is beyond healing.
In 2014, I graduated from the Center for Massage and Natural Health in Asheville and became licensed as a massage therapist. My present joy is providing integrative bodywork which includes Swedish massage, Reflexology, Neuromuscular therapy, and Hot Stones. I find particular delight in supporting clients who deal with PTSD and empowering them with stress management tools.
I am presently studying Pilates at Clasique Acupuncture and Pilates Studio in Asheville. My future desire is to blend massage therapy and Pilates together to offer a unique approach to stress management. This inspiration comes from the success I am witnessing in my own life by blending the two.
Too, I am honored to be co-authoring a book that explores one's sense of belonging with respect to trauma. I believe that the key to any healing journey involves embracing one's own light as it is then, we can clearly understand what our purpose is. Receiving support is a big part of that journey.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" is the most irreverent Marvel departure so far, and, thanks to comedy writer-director James Gunn ("Slither," "Super"), we're reminded that sci-fi can be fun. What's old is new again. But even though it wasn't his intention to give us a nostalgia trip while creating his own colorful galaxy of rogues and villains, it's an occupational hazard of turning archetypes on their heads. (TOH! review and roundup here.)
"When they first told me about 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' I wasn't sure about it," Gunn insists. "I'm a big Marvel comics fan but I didn't see this as a movie. But for some reason, driving home from a meeting with the Marvel guys, it suddenly occurred to me that this was the space epic I've always wanted to make... The movies that influenced this movie the most were the movies that I saw as a kid: 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' 'Star Wars,' ' Back to the Future.' I didn't want to make a movie that was like those movies, but a movie that made people feel like those movies made me feel because they were so novel and different.
"But this movie has a nostalgia to it, and so did those movies. 'Star Wars' and 'Raiders' were harkening back to the pulp serials of the '20s and '30s, and this movie harkens back to the movies of the '70s and '80s. And there's something about the forwardness of the movie with the backward feeling that is similar to those movies. But that aspect of it is not something I thought of until I was finished."
This nostalgia trip is only strengthened by "Guardian's" theme about loss. It permeates everything, especially the heroic journey of Chris Pratt's outlaw Peter Quill, who longs to deserve the name Star-Lord. And while it was a wide-open opportunity to introduce a lesser known Marvel world, Gunn attempted something very dangerous in making a meta-movie about the importance of pop music. It could've been disastrous if we didn't connect emotionally with the power of those silly love songs (ranging from "Hooked on a Feeling" to "I'm Not in Love" to "Come and Get Your Love" to "O-O-H Child").
"Music really is important to me," says Gunn. "I relate to that story [of Quill clinging to his music]. When I was hired to write and direct this film, the first thing that came to me was the idea of ['Awesome Mix Vol. 1'] and the Sony Walkman and this retro feel amongst something that was pretty new. And that was this one character's emotional attachment to earth and the familiarity of those pop songs that contrasted with the otherworldly surroundings. And everything comes from that [including a plot point where Quill risks his life for his music]. We think of the Orb as the MacGuffin, but this tape is the emotional MacGuffin in many ways."
However, the film's emotional center belongs to Groot, the lovable, tree-like humanoid (voiced by Vin Diesel, who could be a distant cousin to his beloved Iron Giant). Groot is sensitive, funny, and surprisingly strong and resilient, with the ability to spontaneously grow his branches at will to avoid danger and to attack assailants. He's beautifully animated by London-based MPC, which came up with a very complicated facial rig, exterior body rig as a series of plates, and an interior structural rig with branches and twigs sliding and pulling like muscles. But the detailed eyes and sockets were very important for emoting. And his single line, "I am Groot," is bound to become a popular catchphrase.
"There's an innocence to his character that elicits an emotional response from so many people," Gunn suggests. "What was so strange is that even on set there were moments when we were all getting teary-eyed over stuff that Groot was doing and he wasn't there. He was designed and we knew what he looked like, but he wasn't doing anything. But there was something about the way we were moving around him, especially Zoe Saldana felt like this a lot, that we became attached to that character and had a love for him before we ever animated him, before anybody voiced him. And I think that Vin was the final piece of the puzzle that cemented him because his voice really fulfills the promise of what that visual effect was."
By contrast, Groot's buddy, the badass, genetically-engineered Rocket raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), was even harder to animate by London-based Framestore. Fur wasn't as much of a problem as getting his eyes to look believable and retaining enough of his inherent animal quality (such as being tactile and using his fingers while multitasking).
"Groot is difficult but Rocket is really difficult because you've got a creature that does not have a mouth that's made to talk, that has to talk. And you have a creature that looks like an animal with human characteristics but he can't look like a cartoon."
Yet Gunn had no trouble figuring out the distinctive look he was after that's far afield from the current dystopian craze: "I got hired to direct before I got hired to write [he took over from Marvel writer Nicole Perlman] and the very first thing that interested me after my meeting with Marvel was the look, and I went right home and wrote this document about the visuals of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' I really wanted to bring back the colors of the space movies like 'Forbidden Planet' yet keep the grittiness of movies like 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner.' But I think since that time, most science fiction movies have become too dark and too brooding. So that rich color palette was extremely important to the movie."
With Marvel already announcing "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" at Comic-Con for July 2017, Gunn can't wait to get started. The only two things that are certain, though, is that there will be an "Awesome Mix Vol. 2" and the discovery of Quill's mysterious father.
"And the only people who know that are me, [Marvel president] Kevin Feige, and Michael Rooker [who plays the blue-skinned alien, Yondu, and kidnapped the young Quill]," Gunn teases. "I have the beginning of something and I'm excited."

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Okay, I understand that you are giving just information.
Larry,Thank you for your follow-up. It appears that the next step is to file a motion for a permanent injunction and a request that the other party can no longer forum shop and refile the same petition over and over from one court to the next. A permanent injunction, if granted, would act as a means of permanently denying the ability to the other party from bringing that claim up again, and more importantly, enforcing it against you. The secondary request pertaining to a a limit on refiling would act similarly to a dismissal with prejudice since it would stop the other party from attempting to find the means of making you pay on what is defined as an invalid debt.Good luck.
Thank you for the info. But, I need to deal with the supeona first which is tomorrow. What could I argue tomorrow relative to squashing the supeona?
Thank you for your follow-up, Larry. My apologies on the delay, I was offline.The best argument here is to introduce evidence that this organization did not lawfully exist and that they as a consequence could not file for a subpoena. The organization in question has no basis or standing to appear in court, which means that they consequently cannot seek a subpoena as they do not formally exist.Hope that helps.

Being part five of the Live-Blogging Feminism For Real series. For the rest of the series, click on the series tag. For a full explanation of the series, see part one.
Welcome back from the holiday weekend folks (if you live in one of those places where this weekend was a holiday weekend of one sort or another. I can't say we did much in my house by way of U.S.ian independence day celebrating, but we did watch (once again) the end of Dr. Who season five which was — as it has been the previous two times we saw it — in all ways awesome. (We haven't seen any of season six yet, so no spoilers please.
Anyway. To the business at hand … live-blogging part five of Feminism For Real: Louis Esme Cruz's essay "Medicine Bundle of Contradictions: Female-man, Mi'kmaq/Acadian/Irish Diasporas, Invisible disAbilities, masculine-Feminist." In this piece, Cruz tackles gender and racial identity in all of its complexity, thinking out loud (or on paper) about what it means to embody all of the aspects of self that his essay title lays out before us.
MEDICINE BUNDLE OF CONTRADICTIONS: FEMALE-MAN, MI'KMAQ/ACADIAN/IRISH DIASPORAS, INVISIBLE DISABILITIES, MASCULINE-FEMINIST by Louis Esme Cruz (pp. 49-60).
p. 49 – "words that might assist you (and me) to comprehend the world of complexities we live in." I love it when essays, or any type of non-fiction writing, starts out with an acknowledgement of how damn complicated human experience is. And how imperfect language — any language! — is when we are struggling to communicate how we understand those complexities.
p. 49 – "I have learned to survive above living." I circled this sentence with the question "what does it mean to distinguish 'survival' from 'live' … aren't the two on some level the same thing?" I was hoping Cruz would unpack what he meant by this, and he did on the following page!
p. 50 – Survival makes things like pleasure and enjoyment difficult to experience, whereas life includes them. "I write this [essay] to you, making something beautiful in this shared space between us, making it difficult for invasion to take root here. When we recognize each other, it is easier for both of us to relax." Writing as communication FOR THE WIN! I love this image of writing as an act of bridge-building, the act of constructing a shared space in which writer and reader alike may be able to better recognize one another and relax. Since this essay is, in part, about the effects of colonization on indigenous culture(s) I also like the idea that writing and communication and recognition — even if in a colonizer's language (English) can be an act of togetherness that will make "it difficult for invasion to take root."
p. 50-51 – Cruz writes about colonizers religious beliefs overtaking native understandings of creation, and the negative effect these messages of condemnation have upon us. "While I understand that nothing in the universe is without 'positive' and 'negative' forces, things are way off balance when humans are telling each other that Kisulk (Creator) wants us to hate what we are." This makes me think about the difference between pushing back the negative, anti-feminist forces in what is essentially one's own culture — that is, as a white woman of Anglo-American descent, when I push back against Christianity I push back against the heritage of virtually all my ancestors — and what is identified as a colonizing culture. What are the positive and negative effects of being able to name anti-feminist ideas not only anti-feminist, but also non-indigenous or otherwise "Other" … as something imported, rather than native, to one's culture of primary identification? I can see how this would be a source of strength, but also something that might make it difficult to identify hostile ideas within one's own culture of origin, since the impulse would be to identify all that was negative with the Other.
p. 52 – " 'Women-only' spaces say that only people who experience misogyny and sexism are people born female and that this means being a woman … I am greatly uncomfortable with how I have seen settler feminists claim space and each others' bodies: it seems a lot like how land is manhandled as a resource that only some get to benefit from." Again, we see the parallels between a critique of (certain types of) feminist thought and a critique of colonization. There is ambiguity throughout this essay — I imagine, intentionally — with the status of feminist ideas as originating from non-indigenous, colonizing sources and/or as being a source of strength and support for Cruz. While the dynamics are different for each one of us, I imagine most of us could name a time when "feminism" was used to exclude us and as a way to dominate / have power over us.
P. 53 – "When people say that a space is 'women-only' they are assuming that women are always sensitive to each others' needs, are always about to understand each others' experiences, these experiences are always the same and that women are not violent." While I think this is true to a large extent, I just want to insert here that I know a number of women (ages 20s-80s) who have done a lot of thinking about what "women's" space means, and whether it is important to maintain … and why. Their answers have run the gamut. I, personally, discourage gender-segregated space while encouraging spaces that are very clear about the ground-rules for respect and civil discourse. In that way, "safer" spaces are created not through peoples' identities but through their expected behavior. However, I understand the struggle that people used to the gender binary have over conceiving of a world in which gender segregation is no longer assumed or supported.
p. 57 – Cruz begins several paragraphs describing his identit(ies) and it strikes me that not all of his heritage is indigenous. That by framing his essay in terms of native/colonizer experience he is privileging some aspects of personal history over others. I understand there's a lot at play here, and not all emphasis is of Cruz's own choosing. While I'm not as tuned into race and ethnic dynamics in Canada as I am in the United States, I know that to be Acadian is not the same as being of Anglo descent … that being from the Irish diaspora involves a history of colonization and forced immigration all of its own … and that being even partially native in origin often means wrestling directly with race in a way that White folks don't have to deal with on a daily basis. So … it's complicated! But it is also interesting to think about the way that we take our heritage … so often a conglomerate of ethnic and national origins … and construct our own identities by emphasizing some and minimizing others.
p. 58 – "I graduated from Emily Carr University with a BFA … It was one of the best things I've ever done for my self-esteem." Since the last few essays I've read in this volume wrestle in more fraught ways with academia, I was struck that in Cruz's personal narrative, formal studies were described in positive terms. In Cruz's experience, formal studies and obtaining a degree (and being one of the first in his family to do so) are understood as positive activities.
And that's what I have for this week. Join me next Tuesday for a reflection on Nimikii Couchie's contribution of four poems: "Internal War," "Woven Basket Shaking," "A Purple and Green Line Moving in Opposite Directions," and "Crisp Early Morning."

Just posted! Casio Exilim, EX-Z750 review
Just posted! The Casio EX-Z750 models joins such as the Canon SD500 and Sony DSC-P200 in one of the most fiercely competitive sectors of the market and offers by far the largest feature set in its class. It has a plethora of 'Best Shot' scene modes (30 in total), full photographic control, MPEG-4 movies, in-camera special effects and basic image editing and long battery life. So is this the 7 megapixel, 3x zoom compact by which others will be judged or an over-specified novelty piece? Read our concise review after the link to find out...

Editor's Note: This post originally appeared on John Horton's personal blog, Online Labor. You can also follow John on Twitter.
On most ecommerce sites, information about the supply side of the marketplace is digitized and publicly available, while information about the demand side is generally not. For example, Amazon, Expedia, iTunes, Etsy, etc., all collect and display detailed data about the items for sale, but there is generally little to no information about the consumers with the demands.
If we look at the labor market, the reverse is true—it's the demand side that's digitized. On online job boards like CareerBuilder, Monster.com, Indeed, SimplyHired, etc., job posts have detailed descriptions about the nature of the work, skills required, location and approximate salary, but the job seekers—the sellers—generally do not create profiles that describe themselves.
It might seem like the reasons for this difference are fundamental, but I think that's unlikely. If you look at certain labor markets, the supply side is being digitized—primarily through LinkedIn (in a big way) and sites like oDesk (in a comparatively smaller, but more comprehensive way). On these sites, workers create permanent, searchable profiles for employers that contain rich, employment-relevant data about themselves.
With the rise of LinkedIn, we are witnessing an unprecedented, voluntary data collection and digitization of the supply side of the labor market. On LinkedIn, individuals can create public profiles and list their education, professional credentials, associations, skills, current and past work experiences and, critically, their other professional connections (indicated by approved links to other LinkedIn users).
As of July 24th, 2012, approximately 19% of U.S.-based Internet users had a LinkedIn profile [*see note below for interesting background for this figure]. According to LinkedIn, as of March 12, 2012, more than 160 million people have created profiles, and in many industries a LinkedIn profile is expected of all applicants. In fact, I talked to oDesk's corporate recruiter, asking her how many of the candidates for in-house oDesk positions had LinkedIn profiles. She responded:
"I'd say it is close to 100% (and certainly 100% for viable candidates). I can't think of an example of someone who I have screened who didn't have a profile on LinkedIn."
This "supply digitization" is going to be very impactful, because once the supply side of the labor market is digitized, platforms can begin making data-driven, highly contextualized recommendations to both sides of the market. In other words, the more detailed digital data these platforms have, the better they are able to recommend highly relevant jobs to job-seekers and equally relevant candidates to employers.
In addition, the platform's recommendations can potentially have the advantage of being informed by a holistic view of the marketplace. That's because, in computer-mediated marketplaces, essentially every piece of data that goes into—or is generated by—the marketplace is by necessity captured in an electronic database, and this mountain of data can be used to inform recommendations.
Of course, job boards do try to make recommendations by suggesting job openings to workers, but these recommendations are limited to whatever search terms and perhaps geographic and/or salary constraints a job-seeker enters in a relatively brief search session. The platform cannot condition its recommendations on a worker's employment history, educational background, skills, current employment status, professional connections, certifications, personality, test scores and other match-relevant factors, nevermind try to balance recommendations to navigate the twin shoals of market thinness and market congestion.
Unfortunately, a lot of this work on recommendations will likely happen within companies in a state of semi-secrecy, but hopefully enough will be made public that others can contribute, such as with the Netflix algorithm prize.
It's a little sad that so far society has expended more machine-learning research effort in trying to predict movie tastes rather than job fit, despite the enormous economic and even humanitarian consequences of improving the labor market. However, I predict this will change, and I expect a lot more work to be done on this topic from computer scientists and market designers in the coming years.
*Origin of the "19% of the U.S. population has a LinkedIn profile" number
In writing this blog post, I wanted to get an accurate number for what fraction of the U.S. population has a LinkedIn profile. This number was proving to be hard to come by, so I decided to try a relatively new service launched by Google called Google Consumer Surveys. For 10 cents an answer, you can pose questions to a supposedly representative sample of U.S.-based Internet users. You also get some of the respondent's basic demographics, such as inferred age, gender and income. I launched a one-question survey and got 1,511 responses in less than a day. The screenshot below shows the main results, but it also includes some neat tools for looking at the data in different ways. I made the survey public—check it out here. I'm quite pleased with the service and plan to use it again.

Harvick holds on to win wild race at Charlotte
CONCORD, N.C. Kevin Harvick thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. Surely, he told himself as he drove by the front stretch, that can't be a cable hanging down on the track.
"I saw this streak go by me and I'm like, `What in the (heck) was that?'" Harvick said after winning the Coca-Cola 600 for the second time in three years on Sunday.
"I always have this thing with my eyes. It's one of the biggest things we have as drivers. You got to believe in your eyes. I tell myself you've got to believe what you see. I was hoping it wasn't my last race, I was hoping what I saw was right."
It was right. Weird, but right.
Turns out the nylon rope from an overhead camera system used by Fox Sports had snapped and fallen on the track. It messed up a few cars, caused a red flag to be dropped and injured 10 fans - three of whom had to be transported to the hospital.
That was the type of night it was at Charlotte Motor Speedway. And the fact that such a crazy race was run under a full moon only added to the oddity.
It included four multi-car accidents that took out several notable drivers, including Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Danica Patrick.
Harvick managed to avoid those wrecks and beat Kasey Kahne on a restart with 11 laps remaining to capture his 21st career Sprint Cup victory.
"This is one of those nights you just know going into it you got to grind away lap after lap, just keep yourself on the lead lap, not make any mistakes," Harvick said.
When Kahne decided not to pit and take on tires at lap 389, Harvick pulled down pit lane and took on two and came out in second place for the restart. He said right then he knew he had the race in the bag.
"The only frame of mind I was in was, `Don't screw up,'" Harvick said. "I knew they put me in the best position to win the race. You don't want to make a mistake on the restart."
He didn't.
"We needed to get those two tires because I think heads up our car wasn't as good as the 5 car," Harvick's crew chief Gil Martin said. "We definitely needed to get tires at that point. When they didn't brake to come down pit road, I felt like that gave us a chance to have equal cars with them because they were very strong all night long."
The race was stopped for nearly 30 minutes when the TV camera support rope snapped and landed along the track and in the grandstands.
The cars were brought into the pits and cleanup crews coiled up the long sections of rope as if they were putting away a garden hose. Drivers were allowed back to their pit stalls and crews given 15 minutes to assess and fix damage caused by the failure.
In a statement, Fox said it had suspended use of the overhead camera indefinitely. It said drive rope that moves the camera back and forth failed but the network offered no immediate reason why.
"A full investigation is planned," the statement said.
Kahne finished second, Kurt Busch third and polesitter Denny Hamlin was fourth in his second full race since returning from injury. Ryan Newman was sixth, followed by Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer, Martin Truex Jr. and Marcos Ambrose.
Harvick's win was almost as big a surprise as it was in 2011 when the crowd anticipated Earnhardt ending what was then a long, long victory drought.

Please give a summary of the poem "Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare.
2 Answers | Add Yours
Jacques' set piece here is almost a lesson to actors, as he compares the stages of Man's (male) maturation, by making use of three devices that are available to the actors: physical changes, clothing changes, and changes in social status. The physical changes begin in infancy (mewling and puking), to middle age (fair round belly), to the famous list of losses in old age—teeth, hair, etc.; the clothing and props changes begin with the satchel of the schoolchild, to the slippers and pantaloons of old age; the social changes, from schoolboy thru solder and justice to second childhood. The details of each age act like synecdoches (a detail standing for the abstract totality)—beard, spectacles, etc.—each detail a stage prop or costume piece to make the character immediately recognize to the (theatre or social) spectator. While it is tempting to say that this poem is independent of the play, and just dropped into it like classical Spanish Golden Age plays' habit of inserting poems in the middle of the dramatic development, this speech is well within Jacques' character in this play—playful, comically philosophical, verbose. The actual progression through the seven "ages" serves as the structure for the speech.
The poem commences with life being compared to a huge stage where all of us are only actors. Each person has an entry into the world at birth and exits it at death.
According to Shakespeare, every man plays several parts during his life time. On the stage of life every man has seven acts. The first act of man is infancy. At this time all that the baby does is cry and puke on his nurse 's lap. After he goes through his infant life, he emerges as a school child who slings his bag over his shoulder and creeps most unwillingly to school.
At the next stage in life, the young man is a lover who is busy composing ballads for his beloved and sighing deeply for her attention. He graduates into a bearded soldier who promises solemnly to guard his country. He is filled with national pride, is quick to be insulted and is always ready to spring up in defence. At this point of time he is more concerned with status and reputation. From the agile soldier, he goes on to become a judge whose waistline grows as he becomes fatter and fatter. He wears a short, formal beard and his eyes become intense. He is full of wisdom, speaking to everyone in a just and wise manner.
After he has played this part, he goes into the sixth age. He becomes thin, wears spectacles, the skin around him hangs loosely. He is made fun of as being a funny old man. His youth has been left behind. His clothes hang loosely around him and his once manly voice turns into a high pitched, childish one. With this, man enters the last act where he experiences his second childhood as he becomes dependent on people once more. He is overcome by senility and forgetfulness, as he loses his faculties of sight, hearing, smell and taste, slowly but surely, and ultimately dies.

Fire crews said it took 34 firefighters from three different departments to get a house fire under control Tuesday night.
Oak City Volunteer Fire Department Chief, Butch Beach, told WITN they got the call at 7:50PM Tuesday night to 5427 Hassell Road in Martin County.
Beach said crews saw flames shooting out of the attic of the home.
A couple escaped from the house, though Beach said the home is a total loss.
Chief Beach said the homeowner said he heard a loud boom and went outside to find his electric panel in the furnace room, behind the garage, on fire. That is when Beach said the homeowners called for help.
The fire remains under investigation.

There's a lot of talk about the benefits of grain free pet food, but not enough convincing information out there for skeptics to make the leap. The Blue Buffalo Company has with the very best explanation as to why natural meat proteins are the best for your dog or cat… it's in their DNA.
Blue Buffalo's new meat-rich line, BLUE Wilderness, is inspired by dogs' and cat's ancestors in the wild. Modern canines evolved from wolves and house cats evolved from wildcats that still exist in nature today. Dogs and cats are true omnivores, needing both protein and vegetables, but many people believe grains are just a filler and unnecessary for your pet's diet.
We're fans of BLUE Wilderness, because it has more of the meat dogs and cats crave. It's made with only the BEST ingredients and NO poultry by-products, artificial preservatives, corn, wheat or soy, so you can feel good about feeding it to your pet. It's a sensible alternative to an all-raw diet and we think your pets will love it SO much, we encourage you to use our special savings coupon to save 20% at PetFlow.com and try it out!

Using Outlook 2003 with ZimbraOlkConnector-5.0.1_GA_1900_5.0.2450.1.msi on XP Pro. Had all working using previous version of ZCO. Installed Outlook 2007 - had many problems. Switched back to OL2003. Got errors similar to what is attached. Have tried nwer releases of ZCO as they can out, but still errors. Finally decided to try to resolve this - without a clean install of XP and Office *s*.
I have attached Outlook errors (get one after the other) as well as the ZCO install log.

Fascinating news today from director Robert Zemeckis. He's on board to helm a new drama based on Jeff Malmberg's stunning 2010 documentary "Marwencol." The doc is centered on one Mark Hogancamp, who dealt with the trauma of being beaten up by a group of teenagers -- and his complete memory loss, as a result -- in a very unique way. Hogancamp built a one-sixth scale model of a World War II-era Belgian village, populated by action figurines.
In the doc, Hogancamp is eventually courted by the New York art scene, which he meets with both interest and intense reservations.
The Universal project currently has a script by Caroline Thompson, who co-wrote Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and the adaptation of Agnieszka Holland's gorgeous 1993 version of "The Secret Garden."
Word is, Zemeckis ("Forrest Gump") is hoping to cast Leonardo DiCaprio as Hogancamp.
Zemeckis was able to come back from 2011's hugely disappointing animated flop "Mars Needs Moms" ($150 million budget, and only $21 million domestic haul) with 2012's modestly budgeted and well-reviewed live-action drama "Flight" ($31 million budget, $93 million domestic haul), starring box-office reliable Denzel Washington. That film was Oscar-nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Actor, but didn't really take off as a major awards contender. The "Mars" flop did however cost Zemeckis an ultra-rich Disney deal and forced him to back off of his company's pursuit of "performance capture" ("Polar Express," "Beowulf," "A Christmas Carol") which has been outshone by the likes of James Cameron et al. Zemeckis swiftly signed a rich deal at Universal studios.
If you haven't seen "Marwencol," get on that. It's terrific. (And it's streaming on Netflix.) Here's the trailer:

College Hockey:Women's D-I picks: Feb. 21
Whelp, I concede. After winning the picks race the last two years, Arlan spanked me this year, and as such wins the six-pack wager we place at the start of every year. Last week, I went 16-7 (.695) to move to 255-84-40 (.725) on the year, while Arlan went 17-6 (.739) to move to 263-76-40 (.746) on the year.
Congrats to Arlan on his win. Come back next week, as I start anew and pick the playoff races. Arlan doesn't usually join me in those prognostications, though he is welcome to.
Friday, Feb. 21
Dartmouth at Brown
Candace: Brown wants to play spoiler, but the Big Green are shooting for the playoffs. Dartmouth 3-2
Arlan: Brown is improving but dug too deep of a hole in going winless in its first 10 ECAC games. Dartmouth 2-1
Rensselaer at Clarkson
Candace: RPI has troubled top teams this year, but won't be able to make a dent on the Golden Knights. Clarkson 3-1
Arlan: Ultimately, it will be a case of one tie too many for the Golden Knights. Clarkson 4-0
Princeton at Colgate
Candace: Princeton has been a very uneven squad, and could be ripe for an upset. How many games behind can I finish? Nah, I'll go with the Tigers. Princeton 3-2
Arlan: I'll pick the favorite, even though I get the sense that Colgate is playing better and could surprise. Princeton 3-2
Quinnipiac at Cornell
Candace: This will be a close contest, but I'll go with home ice. Cornell 4-2
Arlan: I have doubts about Cornell's goaltending and Quinnipiac's ability to exploit it. Cornell 3-2
Union at St. Lawrence
Candace: Union has really fallen off, and the Saints are playing for home ice in the first round. St. Lawrence 3-1
Arlan: A Union win at SLU doesn't appear imminent, but then it didn't look poised to win at Yale either. St. Lawrence 3-0
Harvard at Yale
Candace: Harvard won't come out with anything but its best, which should be enough for the win. Harvard 3-1
Arlan: I don't expect Harvard to allow the Bulldogs to sweep the season series. Harvard 2-0
Friday-Saturday, Feb. 21-22
Syracuse home-and-home with RIT
Candace: RIT has been one of my trouble teams this year, but I can't pick an Orange sweep. Actually, sure I can. Syracuse 3-2, 3-2
Arlan: The Tigers have but one win in this series, but each held serve on home ice this year, so I'll go with that. RIT 3-2, Syracuse 1-0
Providence at Vermont
Candace: Providence just never quite got it going this season. Vermont 3-2, 3-1
Arlan: The Friars have had a tough schedule in February, and they struggled with it. Vermont 3-2, 4-2
Wisconsin at Minnesota State
Candace: I don't expect the Mavericks to be able to pull off a second straight major upset. Wisconsin 3-1, 3-1
Arlan: This series will likely be reprised in Madison in a week. Wisconsin 3-0, 3-1
North Dakota at Ohio State
Candace: North Dakota has been in disarray. This is likely a split. Ohio State 3-2, North Dakota 3-2
Arlan: These games carry more weight for UND than for its opponent, but that was true last week as well. North Dakota 2-1, 4-3
Bemidji State at St. Cloud State
Candace: St. Cloud hasn't won since early January. Coincidentally, that win was against Bemidji. Bemidji State 3-1, St. Cloud 3-2
Arlan: The series has playoff implications only for the Beavers, but many teams seem to play better with nothing at stake. Bemidji State 1-0, 2-1
Minnesota-Duluth at Minnesota
Candace: The Gophers won't take one of their major rivals lightly, even if the Bulldogs are having a down year. Minnesota 4-1, 4-1
Arlan: If these teams have ever met with less on the line, I don't remember when it happened. Minnesota 3-1, 3-2
Saturday, Feb. 22
Quinnipiac at Colgate
Candace: Quinnipiac should be able to close the season on a good note. Quinnipiac 3-1
Arlan: The Bobcats are playing at a 4-3-4 pace in 2014, but for some reason, it feels like they've stumbled even more. Quinnipiac 3-2
Princeton at Cornell
Candace: I don't expect as wild as contest as back in November, when Princeton scored four goals after falling behind 5-0, but you never know. Cornell 5-3
Arlan: The Big Red look to lock down their fifth-straight ECAC crown. Cornell 5-3
Rensselaer at St. Lawrence
Candace: Does this game end the Engineers' season? Possibly. St. Lawrence 3-2
Arlan: SLU fights for home ice; RPI battles to continue playing. St. Lawrence 3-1
Dartmouth at Yale
Candace: Dartmouth looks to qualify for the playoffs. Dartmouth 3-2
Arlan: The season just never quite clicked for the Big Green. Yale 3-2
Saturday-Sunday, Feb. 22-23
Boston University home-and-home with Boston College
Candace: I don't know if either team has ever swept the season series, but it might happen after this weekend. Boston College 3-2, 4-2
Arlan: The Terriers lack the depth to stay with the best teams. Boston College 5-2, 3-1
New Hampshire home-and-home with Northeastern
Candace: New Hampshire has never quite recovered after the blowup in December. Northeastern 3-1, 3-2
Arlan: Do the Wildcats have a last hurrah in them? Don't know, I'm just happy to be done picking Hockey East for another year. Northeastern 4-1, 2-1

- A new production of Quartett, directed by Robert WIlson and starring Isabelle Huppert, at the stunning Odeon - Theatre de l'Europe (pictured, right). Even from a seat at the front of the second balcony (and despite the fact that the dialogue was in French), the lighting, music and Huppert's dramatic performance were worth the price of admission.

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) _ Former President Jimmy Carter offered a
proposal Saturday to Nepal's government and former communist rebels to help end a political deadlock that has held up the country's
The former guerrillas, known as Maoists, suspended their armed
revolt last year. They signed a peace accord and joined Parliament
and the ruling coalition this year.
However, they quit the government two months ago, demanding that
the monarchy be immediately abolished.
That move forced the postponement of the elections, initially
planned for earlier this week.
No new date has been set.
Carter told reporters he had suggested that all sides should
agree that the monarchy would be abolished immediately after
elections for an assembly to draft a new constitution, and that
minor changes be made to the election system.
Carter, who also visited Nepal in June, gave the proposal to
Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala.
Neither the government nor the former rebels immediately reacted
to the proposal.
Carter said they would need time to study it.
Carter held talks with Koirala, the Maoists and leaders of the
main political parties during his four-day visit, which ended
Nepal's government has asked the former president's Carter
Center to observe the election for a Constituent Assembly, which is
to rewrite the constitution and decide the country's future
political system.
The assembly would have the option of restoring the monarchy if
it were abolished as Carter suggested.

In today's NY Times (July 18, 2012), there's a piece about the new 11-mile bike path (dubbed a cycle superhighway) between Copenhagen and Albertslund, a suburb of the city. Denmark's commitment to cycling is extensive and cuts across political parties: "The plan has received widespread support in a country whose left- and right-leaning lawmakers both regularly bike to work (albeit on slightly different models of bicycle)." I'd love to know what those different bike choices are for a liberal versus a conservative.
Although I was aware that many European countries are far ahead of the U.S. in terms of percentage of cycling commuters, I did not know, until I read this article, that more than half of Copenhagen's residents bike to work or school every day. Wow. More than half!
One of the nice touches on this new bike highway--an air pump every mile. And apparently there's something called a "karma campaign":
Superhighway users can also look forward to some variation on the karma campaign, now under way in Copenhagen, in which city employees take to the streets with boxes of chocolate to reward cyclists who adhere to the five rules of cycling: be nice, signal, stay to the right, overtake carefully and, rather than let bicycle bells irritate you, do your best to appreciate them.
Ding, ding, I say!

Is it possible to get rid of the function folding margin on Notepad++? It seems like the sort of thing that should be in the prefs but I'm not seeing it anywhere.
In notepad++ v188.8.131.52 it's an option in the preferences. Under the "Editing" tab. They call it "Folder Margin Style". You can now select "none".
I think the more generic term for it is code folding.
I found someone else asking the same question on SourceForge
The solution is claimed to be:
I hope it helps.
You can add this macro to the Macros section of shortcuts.xml to make a shortcut Ctrl+Alt+H to hide the fold margin. I haven't yet found a way to make the macro auto-execute, so for now you just have to manually hide it for each buffer...

I'd honor it but I'd be disappointed. I think a lot of people who say "no gifts" think they are being altruistic, thinking of all the people they are saving the trouble. My point is that if that is the only the idea behind anyone's request for "no gifts," they are missing the mark; they don't seem to understand that people enjoy giving and celebrating with gifts and it's a personal sacrifice and disappointment to guests to be told not to.
I see your point about food/wine not being a "gift," per se, and I'd bring wine (unless it was for you!) 'cause spending 4 hours in the kitchen making my signature mocha butter cream double layer chocolate cake IS a gift, lol. :)

Re: No gifts
posted at 8/24/2010 10:44 AM EDTbut is it better to disappoint the guest by saying "no gifts" or is it better to disappoint the reluctant gift-receiver who really doesn't want anything but now has to graciously receive a gift they don't want simply to please their guests? Only in one case are people saved time and money, and that's by requesting "no gifts" so I see it as the lesser fo two evils.
I suppose I see the point of giving a gift is to give the recipient what they want. If what they want is no gift, then give them what they want. No disappointment necessary, you've given them what they want and they got what they wanted. Win-win.
Re: No gifts
posted at 8/24/2010 11:47 AM EDTkargiver- I also enjoy giving gifts and think a lot about the receiver when I'm picking something out. However there are many people that also enjoy giving gifts and while they have good intentions often the recipient ends up with something they really don't need or have room for. Yes they'll miss out on getting something thoughtful & useful from you but they'll avoid getting serveral other gifts that will end up living in a closet. Even registries don't always work, I have several relatives that refuse to buy off of them and will instead pick out something on their own.
Re: No gifts
posted at 8/28/2010 9:17 AM EDTDH's aunt came to the engagement party knowing full well we did not want gifts with a pair of silver candlestick holders. They're lovely, but we have used them twice in the 4 years since she gave them to us. Other than that, they sit in the closet in a box, and I feel guilty about it. They're lovely, and I appreciate the sentiment, but I really wish she had just given us a card.
I know what you are saying pink, but I'll turn this around for you. A group of my cousins gave me most of my china for a wedding gift. It was a such a great gift and I love my china. But like your candlesticks, I don't use them frequently. Still, without fail, every time I use them, I think of my cousins and how much we love and care about each other. It makes me so happy to have this time that I am reminded of them. Likewise I have a pottery bowl one of my best friends from high school gave me. Its really not my style, but it looks nice on a side table I have tucked in the back of my living room, so I leave it out and sometimes put a plant in it. I think of my friend, whom I don't see very often because she lives across the country, every time I use that bowl. I've been married for almost 19 years and still think of these people when I use the items they gave me.
Like china, you aren't meant to use silver candlestick holders every day. Use this gift as a time, 4 times a year, that you think of your husband's aunt fondly and how much she loves you.
Re: No gifts
posted at 8/28/2010 3:07 PM EDTMay I add to ash's sentiment? One's taste changes as time goes by. I got several gifts at our wedding (42 years ago this coming Tuesday) I thought I would never ever use. Not one but two pair of silver candle holders, a large silver tray, several crystal bowls etc. But I found, I now love to use them at special occasions and holiday dinners. Some of the gift givers are no longer here, and when I set my table with their gifts, I remember them fondly.

Evaluation of a Statewide Collaborative Chat-based Reference Service: Approaches and Directions
Jeffrey Pomerantz, firstname.lastname@example.com Charles R. McClure, firstname.lastname@example.com
Presented at
ASIST 2004 Annual Meeting; "Managing and Enhancing Information: Cultures and Conflicts" (ASIST AM 04)
, Providence, Rhode Island, November 13 - 18, 2004
The State Library of North Carolina recently launched an 18-month pilot of a collaborative statewide chat-based virtual reference service, for which the authors have been contracted as program evaluators. The primary evaluation question motivating this pilot program is: "Is collaborative virtual reference an effective way to meet the information needs of North Carolinians?" This paper describes the evaluation plan, the methodologies, and the data analyses that will be employed to answer the evaluation question. The paper also describes some preliminary findings from one of the libraries participating in the service and currently offering chat-based virtual reference service.
