Here Burns My Candle
by Liz Curtis Higgs
by Liz Curtis Higgs
A mother who cannot face her future. A daughter who cannot escape her past. Lady Elisabeth Kerr is a keeper of secrets. A Highlander by birth and a Lowlander by marriage, she honors the auld ways, even as doubts and fears stir deep within her. Her husband, Lord Donald, has secrets of his own, well hidden from the household, yet whispered among the town gossips. His mother, the dowager Lady Marjory, hides gold beneath her floor and guilt inside her heart. Though her two abiding passions are maintaining her place in society and coddling her grown sons, Marjory's many regrets, buried in Greyfriars Churchyard, continue to plague her. One by one the Kerr family secrets begin to surface, even as bonny Prince Charlie and his rebel army ride into Edinburgh in September 1745, intent on capturing the crown. A timeless story of love and betrayal, loss and redemption, flickering against the vivid backdrop of eighteenth-century Scotland, Here Burns My Candle illumines the dark side of human nature, even as hope, the brightest of tapers, lights the way home.

Hey there,
So I posted this question up in the fixed gear subforum as well, but was curious to see what the touring crowd thinks of this question.
I am looking for a frame to ride on an unsupported fixed tour down the continent that a buddy and I are doing for charity.
My last tour was an unsupported solo ride going north up the pacific coast on a lemond poprad, traveling lightweight. I only ran two rear panniers, and they were both about halfway full, I could of easily fit everything in one pannier but the weight distribution was awkward.
Figured we would make this one a bit tougher by never stopping pedaling. Plus we are going to be traveling very quickly, hoping to average between 80 and 120ish miles a day. We only have about 50 days for a 4000 mile ride, so efficiency is a necessity.
So forget the possibility of the task, because its going to happen. I am just wondering which frame would be the best tool for the job.
I think I am going to be traveling even lighter than my previous ride, only running a (big) saddlebag and a front rack as a water carrying system. Because there are two of us this time, it will be easier to distribute the weight.
So down to the frame qualifications...
-I dont really have any interest in a touring frame, too heavy and upright position wise.
-no vertical dropouts.
-eyelets on the fork would be nice, but not necessarily an absolute need.
-no real need for a frame that can carry a lot of weight. Rider and gear should only weight about 160-180 pounds (depending on water).
-needs to accept big tires.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Fri Nov 11 2011 (Updated 11/13/11)UCPD Attempts to Silence Free Speech at Occupy UC Berkeley
Fri Nov 11 2011 (Updated 11/13/11)Occupy Cal - Students Fight Cuts and Fee Hikes
Thursday Nov 17th, 2011 3:36 AM : #OccupyCal about to be raided. Five minute warning given by UCPD riot police. Most occupiers retreat, some still remain.Students at UC Berkeley walked out of classes on November 9th to protest budget cuts and rising tuition, and to support the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. The rally protested economic inequality and its impact on students, the poor and the young — in the words of the occupy movement, a protest by the 99% of the people who are exploited by a system that only benefits the top 1%. Later that night, students were beaten by police batons as they tried to set up tents in Sproul Plaza, and six students and an assistant professor were arrested. Students continued to occupy the plaza without tents, however.
Occupy UC Berkeley was given terms from the UC which severely restricted the students' rights to assembly and free speech. The terms the UC tried to place on the students went beyond no tents. Students were denied sleeping bags, and even denied the right to sleep at night. Even in the event of rain, no tents would be allowed, only tarps. The protest was only permitted for one week. Amplified sound was only permitted three hours a day; from noon until 1PM, and from 5PM to 7PM. Further restrictions came from the police, including no signs or banners, and no bullhorns (even if not in use).
UC Berkeley police also searched any large backpacks and demanded the ID from individuals wearing large backpacks. UC police stopped and searched at least one medic. The police believed the red cross symbol to be a ruse, and thus searched through the medic's supplies.
According to UC police Capt. Margo Bennett, "the individuals who linked arms and actively resisted, that in itself is an act of violence...I understand that many students may not think that, but linking arms in a human chain when ordered to step aside is not a nonviolent protest."
Occupy Cal, in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring, have called for an open university strike on Tuesday, November 15th following the actions of police brutality on non-violent civil disobedient protesters on November 9th.

The Space Between: Louann Brizendine, USCF Neuropsychiatrist
By 7x7 Editors on February 08, 2011 11:23 AM
It's a cliché, but Louann Brizendine doesn't doubt that the penis has a mind of its own. Autopilot erections are uncontrollable and don't necessarily mean a man wants to have sex. That's just one of the stereotypes the Sausalito resident examines in her book, The Male Brain, the followup to her best-selling The Female Brain. Using research and anecdotal evidence drawn from her practice, Brizendine shines a light on how men's brains develop, what makes guys fall in love, and why they finally commit.

(Rich Graessle/Icon SMI)The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' QB situation appears to be nearing an ugly conclusion, with a CBSSports' Jason La Canfora reporting Sunday that current starter Josh Freeman "is likely" to ask for a trade in the near future. The NFL's trade deadline is on Oct. 29.The relationship between Josh Freeman and coach Greg Schiano seemed to take a couple more steps in the wrong direction this week. Schiano revealed that Freeman overslept and missed a team meeting, with a separate report from the Tampa Bay Times stating that Freeman had earlier missed a team photo. That error on Freeman's part came shortly after he lost the team captaincy that he held from 2010-12.La Canfora added, though, that Tampa Bay's issues may go beyond the Freeman-Schiano dynamic.Furthermore, several executives on other clubs believe Schiano's refusal to ever really endorse Freeman is an attempt to undermine general manager Mark Dominik, who drafted Freeman in the first round prior to Schiano's arrival from Rutgers and who has also worked diligently to add talent to that roster in recent years. Many around the league believe Schiano would like to have full roster control as well, viewing Freeman -- who threw for over 4,000 yards and nearly 30 touchdowns last year -- as a pawn in a would-be power struggle.Schiano was front and center on the Bucs' decision to spend a third-round pick in April on Mike Glennon. The North Carolina State product is inching closer to the Tampa Bay starting job by the day, and would likely inherit it if Freeman was moved.Finding a trade suitor for Freeman could prove difficult for the Buccaneers should they explore that option. Freeman's impending free-agent status (he is set to hit the market after 2013) and a loaded 2014 draft class would make trading for a QB a tough sell.Jacksonville stands out as the most obvious landing spot, as the Jaguars try to make do with a Blaine Gabbert-Chad Henne combo. But throwing in the towel on an underachieving Gabbert in favor of the inconsistent Freeman hardly feels like a substantial upgrade, even if Freeman has shown more flashes of potential than Gabbert during their NFL careers.If Freeman does indeed ask for a trade, it would not be hard to understand why. The last thing he would want is to hit free agency after being benched for Glennon and labeled as the cause of a Tampa Bay regression in 2013.This whole situation could change if Freeman and the Buccaneers get hot in the coming weeks. That possibility is more and more unlikely as the tension grows between Freeman and Schiano.(Update: Freeman denied after the Bucs' win over New Orleans on Sunday that he has asked for a trade, according to Pewter Report. "If its going behind the scenes I need a new camp," Freeman said. "I'm focused on being a Buccaneer.") [si_video id="video_E6A7055B-5183-6D5C-CA2E-12E7DD959E5F"] Comments

Live Stats
Butler vs. VCU
Sunday, October 14, 2 p.m. (ET)
Butler Bowl - Indianapolis, Ind.
Live Stats
NEW VISITORS: Butler's first home matches in the Atlantic 10 Conference will be against a pair of first-time foes. The Bulldogs will host Richmond on Friday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. (ET), before taking on VCU in a league test on Sunday, Oct. 14, at 2 p.m. Both matches will be played in the Butler Bowl. Butler (2-4-4), playing at home for the first time since Sept. 19, is trying to snap a string of three straight setbacks in Ohio, including a pair to A-10 foes. The Bulldogs dropped a 3-1 decision at Dayton in their first A-10 men's soccer competition and then fell at No. 17 Xavier two days later. Richmond (4-7-0) also is coming off back-to-back A-10 losses. The Spiders fell at home to George Washington, 2-1, and then dropped a second home match to No. 22 Charlotte, 2-0. VCU, ranked No. 21 in this week's NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I poll, defeated both George Washington and Charlotte in its first two A-10 tests. The 6-1-3 Rams play at Saint Louis on Friday (Oct. 12) before visiting the Butler Bowl. Following the match with VCU, Butler will have just two remaining home contests this season. The Bulldogs will host George Washington on Oct. 26 and Charlotte on Oct. 28.
The Bulldogs are 2-1 in the Butler Bowl this season.
NATIONAL LOOK: VCU will be the fourth "Top 25" team Butler has faced already this season. The Bulldogs battled to a 2-2 tie against #11 South Florida in the first round of the Akron Tournament, Sept. 14-16. Two days later, the Bulldogs tied #10 St. John's, 1-1, in the final round of the four-team meet. Butler placed runner-up at the Akron Tournament, which featured three of the nation's top 11 teams. The Bulldogs dropped a hard-fought 2-1 decision at No. 17 Xavier in their last outing.
OPENING WEEK: Butler's introduction to the Atlantic 10 Conference featured about as tough an opening weekend challenge as the league could offer. The Bulldogs opened A-10 play on the road against a Dayton team that was unbeaten in five home tests and then had to travel to unbeaten and No. 17 Xavier! Butler grabbed a 1-0 lead at halftime on a goal by junior Adam Glanzer, but the Flyers stormed back with three goals in the final period to take a 3-1 decision. Two days later, it was Xavier that jumped in front with a 1-0 halftime lead. The Bulldogs tied the score on an unassisted goal by junior Jordan Burt with just over 13 minutes remaining, but Xavier cashed the game-winner with just over seven minutes left to improve to 9-0-2 on the year.
BULLDOG BITS: Butler goalkeeper Jon Dawson has moved into fifth place in the Atlantic 10 Conference in saves with 46. Dawson had a career-high nine saves in Butler's match at Dayton, and then he added five saves at Xavier. The Butler goalkeeper is tied for third in the conference in shutouts (3), and he ranks tenth in goals against average (1.38)...Adam Glanzer picked up his team-high fourth goal of the season in Butler's match at Dayton. Glanzer is tied for eighth in the A-10 in goals, and he's tied for fifth in the league in goals per game (0.50)...Freshman Jeff Adkins recorded his team-best third assist of the season on the goal by Adam Glanzer at Dayton...Junior Blake Leyden had a team-high three shots at Dayton, and he shared the team lead at Xavier with two shots...Butler and nationally-ranked Xavier were separated by just a single shot, 12-11, in their A-10 match. The Bulldogs rank seventh in the A-10 in shots per game (14.40).

Ooo, Matt Bomer and leather? Don't mind if I do!
Too bad it wasn't the kinky kind of leather. That would have been fun to see. Matt was sporting the leather jacket and that ridiculously gorgeous smile of his on the set of White Collar. I love when White Collar is filming because it means we get all sorts of sexy stuff, like Matt in a firefighter uniform. I'm overheating!
There is something very important that I've decided about Matt.
Looking at his face makes my day way, way better. Good thing it's still earlyish on the West Coast so my whole day is off to a better start. Also, imagine if he'd worn this turtleneckunder the leather jacket. I would keel over from joy.
Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of Matt's super sexy on set look. Think he works better in leather or a suit? Let us know in the comments!

Arctic Monkeys in Concert
With just one album under the their belt, the British band Arctic Monkeys is already being hailed as one of the greatest U.K. rock groups of all time. The band aimed to show fans why with an electrified performance, originally webcast live on NPR.org from Washington, DC's 9:30 Club March 27.
With obvious influences from bands like The Clash and The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys have a blistering, guitar-heavy sound with infectious melodies and lyrical swipes on small-town life, teen angst and the music industry.
Fans have responded, making the quartet from Sheffield nothing short of a phenomenon. The band's one and only album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, debuted at number one on British charts in January, selling more copies than all the other top-20 albums combined.
The UK music magazine New Musical Express calls the Arctic Monkeys' CD one of the top five British rock albums of all time.
"What's happened has been proper hysterical," says lead singer and guitarist Alex Turner. "If I say 'phenomenon' it sounds like I'm right up my own arse, but we'd be daft to act like we didn't realize how incredible the last year's been. When it all started we were like 'what's going off here?'"
Following the Internet buzz and word-of-mouth hysteria, major labels lined up to court Arctic Monkeys. The band eventually signed with the independent UK Domino Records.
"Before the hysteria started, labels would say 'I like you, but I'm not sure about this bit, and that song could do with this changing.' We never listened, says Turner. "And once it all kicked off we didn't even worry about it anymore. In London, the kids were watching the band and the record company were at the back watching the kids watching the band.
"We had people crowd-surfing and landing on monitors. In Manchester this kid came flying over the crowd and his cheek just smashed on the side of the stage. Another kid came over and just rolled across, a perfect land like a gymnast. But best is when everyones just bouncing."
The webcast also featured an opening performance by Delaware-based rock group Spinto Band.

Avery Ford's goal kept Utah's unbeaten streak against non-conference foes intact
Sept. 22, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah soccer received a late goal from Avery Ford to earn a hard-fought draw against Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon at Ute Field.
"This wasn't our best game and you have to credit Oklahoma for defending our passing well," head coach Rich Manning said. "We played with good character coming back but we just weren't sharp with our touches today."
The Utes attacked early with Allie Wisner getting the first shot off in the seventh minute. Ford had a chance go high in the 29th minute and Kaycee Buckley was denied by the Sooner goalkeeper just a minute later.
Megan Trabert also had a nice look at goal in the waning moments of the half but missed over the bar. Shots were even after the first period, 4-4, with Lindsey Luke making four saves.
"I feel good and this is the healthiest I've felt since the opening weekend," Luke stated. "Communication with the defenders has been great this season because it's our second year together and we know each other's style of play. We want to do well and games like today just come down to our energy level and which team wants it more."
Utah was aggressive to start the second half with Baylee Nielsen having her best try of the afternoon hitting the post just two minutes in. However, after a corner kick for the Utes, Oklahoma countered and scored to take the lead 1-0.
Buckley looked the likeliest to score for Utah over the next 20 minutes, having three chances to even the score. The breakthrough occurred in the 79th minute as Taylor Slattery fed Ford for her second goal of the season.
Utah pressured to end regulation with Buckley, Katie Rigby and Ashton Hall all having good looks snuffed out by the Oklahoma defense.
In the first overtime, it was Nielsen and Buckley again with Utah's best chances. However, time ran out on this day for the Utes as they earned their fourth draw of the season.
Utah finished with a 14-11 edge in shots and a 9-3 advantage in corner kicks. Luke finished with six saves after allowing her first goal of the season in 510 minutes played (0.18 GAA).
"We had low energy today at the start," Ford said. "But overall, we worked hard and it's great that we came back. We just want to win so badly and now we start Pac-12 play."
The Utes open Pac-12 play on Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. against No. 12 California.

News of several new projects broke over the weekend. The question is, from Austin Powers 4 and Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequels to One Shot and Just Kids, which projects do we actually want to see?
- Austin Powers fans, the wait is over. The fourth installment of the stagadelic franchise is happening, complete with star Mike Myers. This is career-reviving news for Myers, whose only notable live-action work since 2002's Goldmember was a too-brief role as General Ed Fenech in Inglorious Basterds. Voicing the Shrek franchise has no doubt kept the dollars coming, but Austin Powers 4 will reunite a face (and a British accent) back to his voice. Austin Powers is not everyone's cup of tea, but the first three films totaled $676 million worldwide, so it's a pipeline worth tapping again. No word on whether Jay Roach, who directed the first three films, will be returning.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes will rise again, and then again. Scripters Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa "pictured a trilogy" from the beginning. Silver tells EW that "We definitely have ideas for where the sequel — plural, where the sequels — would take us, and those were kind of built into [the narrative]... When we started this, we knew that this movie would stand on its own, and we designed it that way. But if it didn't stand on its own, we pictured a trilogy that would start with this movie." Jaffa said it's not official yet because no party involved wants to jinx it. After owning the box office for two straight weekends, bringing in $179.2 million worldwide, the franchise seems beyond jinxing. But will the fave with audiences and critics alike win over Oscar voters?
- Patti Smith's memoir, Just Kids, which follows the rocker and two decades of her relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorbe across the NYC music and art scene, is being adapted for the big screen. Smith will work with playwright John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator, Sweeney Todd, Rango). Just Kids has been on the NYTimes' bestseller list for thirty-seven weeks.
- One Shot, Tom Cruise's crime vehicle, was on the hunt for its leading lady this weekend, after Brit Marling turned the role down. Hayley Atwell (Captain America), Alexa Davalos (Clash of the Titans) and Rosamund Pike (An Education) are vying for Cruise's (and Paramount's) eye to play the tough lawyer and daughter of the district attorney. Christopher McQuarrie adapted One Shot from Lee Child's novel and will direct.
Controversially smaller than the role as written, Cruise will play Jack Reacher, an ex-army cop who gets embroiled in the mystery of a sniper who's charged with randomly shooting and killing five people. McQuarrie (who wrote The Usual Suspects) also co-wrote Cruise's Valkyrie as well as The Tourist, which Depp took after Cruise was at one time attached. One Shot is aiming to shoot in Pittsburg this fall.

I currently have a set of 26 X 1.9 Continental Town & Country tires on my Novarra Safari.
They have about 2,500 miles on them and it is time for me to begin considering alternatives.
I tour, run errands in town and use it to commute to my country place 35 miles from my main home.
What size of tires might you recommend? Then, what brand?
I am not necessarily unhappy with the Continental's it is just that I know there are alternatives and they may provide a different ride.

Tam Chung Nature Trail Information
Make a start in Pak Tam Chung and walk along Tai Mong
Tsai Road.Your hike begins just across Fuk Hing
Bridge. PakTam Chung Nature Trail is a level riverside
walk with stops along the way to observe geographical
features and wild life characteristically found
in brackish "Chung", the first stop,
refers to a channel entering the sea, where freshwater
and back flowing sea water at high tide come together
to create unique brackish habitats. Pak Tam Chung
is so named because wetlands. It sits at the mouth
of one such channel.
All along the trail
you see mangroves lining the shores. Mangroves have
a novel way of adapting to their low-oxygen habitat.
Their aerial roots jut out from the mud like chopsticks
to gulp air. Across the mudflat, mudskippers move
agilely on the mud surface, unperturbed by fiddler
crabs pompously flaunting their large odd chelipeds.
Further up, the trail continues through some woods
and bamboo groves, with many utility plants cultivated
by villagers, such as the rough-leafed Sandpaper
Vine and Incense Tree. Just before the end, you find
a rustic lime kiln. It has been listed as a protected
monument alongside Sheung Yiu Village. The latter
is now a folk museum open to the public.

"Spot the Ugly Bitch!"
Star Jones is angry that men get more money than women in the TV industry. As she said in a recent interview in Marie Claire:
Women still make 70-something cents to every man's dollar, as if my bread somehow costs 30 cents less than his bread. That p – - – es me off!
Well when your bread consists of being on Court TV for a show that nobody will watch, it sort of runs stale with no interest. She went on to say:
Donald Trump told me, 'Star, they'd never have given you a hard time if you were a white guy.' We have to live with who we are. We'll always be thought of as the chick in the skirt.
I always thought of Star Jones as Al Roker in a skirt. With that in mind, she could be close to becoming a white guy, all she has to do is bleach her skin, penis and all.
Star Jones probably isn't even: human.

Davis – competing in his home town of Lubbock, Texas at the Texas Tech Open – got within 10 inches of his own school record in the event. Davis placed second overall in the shot, finishing behind Tech's Kole Weldon (last year's NCAA Division I runner-up in the indoor shot) with an effort of 61' 4 ¾".
This is Davis' fourth NCCAA "Athlete of the Week" honor in just over one year of membership in the organization by McMurry. Davis is the defending NCCAA champion and recordholder in both the indoor and outdoor shot put.
Davis and the War Hawks will face some tough competition on Friday at the Kansas University Jayhawk Classic.

San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge Nail Art
For our trip to San Francisco I wanted to paint the Golden Gate bridge on my toes. For this design I painted the sky a nice blue. Then I took a small brush and free hand painted the bridge in a nice, dark orange. For the birds in the sky I used a black (with a small brush).
Cherry Blossom Nail Art
For this design I painted the background a nice light blue. I created the branches with a thin black paint brush. For the flowers I first painted the larger part with a pail pink then I painted the inside with a darker pink. For the finishing touch I added some gold glitter nail polish.

Green toes with Flowers and butterfly
For my first post I painted my toes with a light green color and I added 3 flowers and a butterfly. The flowers and butterfly are from Cina Nail Creations. I love the look that the flowers created, but they were a little tricky to adhere to the toe. But once they were adhered they did not come off until I applied nail polish remover.

Does anyone else but me think he is a real

you don't hear alot from him.
I have a hunch that come Paris Dennis
is going to podium.

I'm not sure he's a sleeper, the Vuelta winner has been mentioned since the beginning and given his decent TT has to be considered a threat. Agree he's definitely a podium possibility. And he's looking well supported in the lead group today.

I think so too.
My top 3 as of now:
From what I've seen from him so far this year, he's a pansy afraid to do any work on the climbs.
I guess I have a bit of a problem with a rider who does little work, then takes the stage win. It looks pretty hollow.Originally Posted by lotek
He did p ss off Floyd...Menchov will pretend not to speak any English...
In the Bike Business, I am!!!
Oh shut the hell up.Originally Posted by Spinster
i may have overreacted
LOL.Originally Posted by Laggard
That's bike racing. Floyd was more concerned about putting time on as many rivals as possible. Winning the stage was secondary. No reason to waste energy for a stage win that doesn't give a meaningful time difference. From the profile, it looked like the last 500 meters was pretty flat. I think you'll see Floyd try to attack Menchov in the Alps, on climbs where he has a chance to create some seperation.Originally Posted by roadwarrior
Obviously I'm not talking about using teammates as sacrificial lambs--that's what teams are for. From what I've observed this year, when Menchov is alone with other leaders on critical climbs he balks at taking his share of the load. He played similar tactics with Levi during the Dauphiné--the group allegedly came to standstill waiting for Menchov to finally go to the front.
Sure Floyd wanted to gain time, but everyone in that group needed to put time into the other GC contenders that were dropped. Once he found out he couldn't attack the other leaders, all Menchov did was sit on until the end.

I'll take that for a Box TrifectaOriginally Posted by Devil
If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, then come sit next to me.
Three observations.Originally Posted by Spinster
One, in the post-race interview, Floyd said Menchov had been doing his share. No complaints from Floyd, why should we sitting in armchairs whine about it?
Two, Menchov is not stupid. He knew that he would not be able to take any time out of Floyd, and that Floyd was not going to slow down and play tactical games trying to win the stage when the yellow jersey was at stake. He and Levi did exactly what 99.99% of the riders in that same situation would do - go for the stage win.
Three - unless something unfortunate happens to Floyd, Menchov will not be able to take enough hunks of time out of Floyd to get ahead of him. He, Evans, Sastre, Kloden, and possibly Simoni will be fighting it out for the other positions on the podium.
In search of what to search for.

I have two threads (producer and consumer) and I share the data with
Queue. The problem is, that when I forcefully abort the producer, the consumer sometimes locks.
I read in the docs that canceling a thread with queue might corrupt the queue and cause deadlock. I don't acquire any locks explicitly but reading the source of Queue.py says that
put and
get are doing so.
Please, does anyone know of it might be the case that when I abort the thread, it might be in the middle of
put, i.e. using the lock and then not releasing it? What can I do about it? I sometimes need to terminate the producer prematurely. Would using processes, instead of threads, make any difference?

Public consultation to guide Canada's open government strategy
In an effort to gain acceptance into the international Open Government Partnership, Canada must first develop open government commitments, which will be similar to the National Action Plan published by the United States Sept. 20, 2011. On Jan. 16 Canada closed the 41-day comment period that will inform the nation's open government plan, and all responses received through the Open Government consultation are now publicly available.
The Canadian government will publish a summary of findings in a March 2012 report, according to its open government website.
Some have said the open government consultation itself would benefit from greater openness. Citizen's submissions are not searchable or downloadable, noted David Eaves, an independent open government consultant based in Vancouver, B.C., in a Jan. 19 blog post.
Eaves said it would useful to "re-organize them, visualize them, search and parse them as well as play with the submissions so as to make the enormous number of answers easier to navigate and read." In the blog post, Eaves shared his submission to the consultation.
In a March 18, 2011 statement Stockwell Day, president of the Treasury Board and minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, recommitted the Canadian government to expanding open government through "open data," "open information" and "open dialogue."
The Canadian government can work toward these goals by adopting a permissive Creative Commons license or release to the public domain all data.gc.ca data, mandating that agencies release several high-value data sets and creating a searchable database of access to information requests and responses, said Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, in its open government consultation response (.pdf).
Eaves' recommendations echoed many of CIPPIC's suggestions, but he also emphasized the need to publish data in an application programming language, or API. This allows government and non-government platforms to integrate government data right into applications.
The Canadian government recently published guidelines for departments' use of social media tools. At the time Gartner E-Government Analyst Andrea Di Maio, was among the critics of rigid, governmentwide rules. He wrote that the guideline "is all about obligations and risks, and there is nothing about how to encourage, assess, reward the use of web 2.0 tool to improve individual contributions to department's outcomes."
"There is a clear and present danger that this wind of centralization and control will turn the Canadian government from a leader to a follower in IT-driven transformation," he concluded.

Imagine 5,000 students, parents and teachers chanting in the courtyard of Florida's capitol demanding funding for education. That's the vision of a state senator, and he's making a statewide tour to gain support. A grown man on a little school bus may seem a little funny, but his message is serious.
Sen. Ken Pruitt is stopping off at Tallahassee Community College as part of his statewide tour of Florida's 11 public universities and 28 community colleges. Students and faculty say they welcome the chance to discuss proposed changes to the bright futures scholarship program, as well as cuts in funding overall, and as far as community colleges go, what's really going on is thousands of students being turned away
Sen. Pruitt hopes the grassroots campaign will lead to strong representation come the legislative session. He's set aside March 17 for a big education rally at the capitol.

there's no doubt women like poetry. but some of us find poetry really boring. i mean its really boring. but if you want to get a girl to like you, it pays to know some poetry. when you learn poetry, you learn to say what's in your heart in a totally different way. poetry words come from the hear and it doesn't matter what words it is. you can use a simple words like us like "staring" for example, and take it the heart. for example, when i look at a girl and i like her, i stare at her. then of course she asked "what the hell at you looking at" and i would reply something like "I'm sorry for staring, but my eyes could not ignore your beauty" wow! that just melts their heart. if you really want to impress a lady, you have to get into their heart. emotions are very powerful for women, the love to feel important. i have more secrets, but that's all im going to post here, if anyone is interested in more, reply to this post, if i get good responses i will post all my poems here. or if you have a good pickup line or poem that always works for you, there are many guys looking at this page, so share with us.

This review is from: Midway Arcade Origins Xbox 360 Game
Pros: all those delisted XBL arcade games are back! on disc this time!
Cons: These midway compilations always feel increasingly half hearted. The old Midway collections had bonus features like interviews. This has nothing & features the same handful of 6 arcade games midway stuffed in their original 'classic' compilations since the Playstation era.
Other Thoughts: Happened to snag this while it was on sale. Would have bought it for $30 even if it wasn't, but based on my experience, this was meant to be a budget title. The effort put forth by WB games was so feeble, its borderline insulting. Its a real shame.

Aldon Smith's locker at Candlestick Park was cleared out yesterday as reports surfaced that he was on his way to an inpatient treatment facility. His accident and arrest for suspicion of DUI was the first egg smattering on the face of the current 49ers regime — while DUIs are fairly common in the NFL, Smith has been in the center of several dangerous incidents now. Jed York, Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers took a lot of heat for the decision to play him Sunday.
They won't have to face criticism over Smith's playing time for a while now. The talented linebacker is off to seek help for his alleged alcohol and drug problems, and while these situations are probably pretty common all over major professional sports, they're also kept behind closed doors and largely misunderstood.
Before I decided to make a push towards getting into the more entertaining (and much less lucrative) field of journalism, I wanted to be a counselor. I spent a few months working as an assistant at a drug rehabilitation center in the Bay Area, so I have some understanding of what the future might hold for Smith.
Keep in mind that every situation is unique, and no one except for Smith himself and those closest too him know exactly what ails him. What I write in here is not an indictment on Smith or his character. I'm not saying that Smith is an addict or an alcoholic and this may not depict exactly what his recovery entails. But if Smith is actually seeking help for a problem with substance abuse, this should help you understand what the process is like.
What happens now
He is reportedly on his way to an inpatient treatment program, which means he'll be safely tucked away from drugs, alcohol, media scrutiny and football for an extended period of time. Inpatient programs are facilities where patients check in and live for a while (like what you saw if you watched "Celebrity Rehab," minus the cameras and all of the manufactured drama), unlike outpatient rehabilitation, which can involve daily visits for counseling, drug tests and groups while still allowing the patient to go back to their home and work.
Checking into inpatient drug treatment means Smith will be away from the team for at least 28 or 30 days. Many treatment programs can last longer than a month — some can last for as long as six months or even a year — but the decision for a patient to stay longer is usually decided upon mutually by the program director and the patient himself based on how much progress has been made over the course of their stay.
Treatment centers are expensive and many are all-inclusive. Some require blackout periods in which patients are restricted from outside contact, usually for the first week. Most don't allow cell phones — communication is made through pay phones during predetermined times. Visitors are allowed occasionally. Their visits are predetermined by the patient; they must check in before visiting, sign a HIPAA agreement to protect privacy and have anything brought in searched by facility employees.
The recovery regimen usually involves a variety of groups run by counselors. They can include family recovery or relapse prevention in an effort to keep addicts from going back to drugs and alcohol after a period of sobriety. While some treatment centers don't use it, the most common format for recovery is the 12 steps created originally by Alcoholics Anonymous.
Make no mistake about it: most people don't end up in a rehabilitation center by accident. Smith acknowledged "this is a problem" when he addressed the media yesterday, but that statement alone won't be enough in treatment. Patients in drug rehabilitation are encouraged to start accepting their problem and identifying as an "addict" or an "alcoholic," a symbolic first step towards finding a solution.
The misunderstood case of addiction
Alcoholism and addiction have existed for the entirety of documented human history, but to this day science hasn't been able to nail down a cause. Substance abuse appears to be genetic (individuals with alcoholic parents or close relatives are much more likely to be alcoholic as well), and yet scientists haven't found a gene to cause it. Still, the American Medical Association did recognize it as an illness in 1956 — this is why many drug treatment programs are covered under basic insurance policies.
Addiction is considered incurable, progressive (the effects of addiction get worse as it goes untreated) and in many cases, terminal. Unfortunately, people don't regard addiction as an illness in the same way they see something like diabetes. It seems to be seen as an illness of choice, while most addicts will probably say they're overwhelmed by an urge to continue using despite the negative consequences. A solution definitely exists — millions have recovered using the 12 steps or religion, for example — but most of these cases involve a complete lifestyle change.
That lifestyle change starts with a change of scenery. An addict doesn't necessarily need to leave their stomping grounds completely (this is an unsuccessful tactic known as "a geographic"), but avoiding temptation is paramount while the steps are consummated. Old friends have to be put aside, clubs and bars avoided. Addicts are urged to surround themselves with like-minded people in order to reinforce new, healthy life choices.
Working and completing the 12 steps is an arduous task in itself. Once a problem is acknowledged, a regimen is implemented to clean up the past and prepare for a better future. The addict finds a trusted confidant known as a "sponsor," creates and shares a personal inventory of past misdeeds with them and makes amends to those they've harmed. Once the steps are completed, daily reflections and an effort to help others get sober act as maintenance steps. Continued regular attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings is a must.
The difficult road for celebrities
"Anonymous" is a misunderstood aspect of AA. The program has no leaders and is largely self-policing, meaning not all members adhere to the saying "what you see here, let it stay here." It's the responsibility of any celebrity in the program to keep their own membership anonymous with the media, but it serves more as a protection for the program so there are no spokespeople. They can't keep others from saying who was at a meeting they attended. This makes the recovery of public figures unusually difficult.
The lifestyle changes may be even more drastic for celebrities. Athletes and movie stars live in a world where parties, money and extravagance define them. Recovery demands a more wholesome way of living, and many have trouble accepting it.
For athletes, long hours at the facility and lots of travel make it tough to sustain a program that requires consistency. Sober companions can be hired (they're not cheap) to literally stay by their clients side during every waking hour. Josh Hamilton, for example, had an 'accountability partner'. While it may not be a long-term solution, it can be an effective way to avoid disaster during early recovery.
Whether Smith is actually a drug addict, alcoholic or nothing at all is not for us to determine. This is an extremely personal matter and it's something Smith will need to find out for himself. But Smith is seeking help now and, labels aside, change will be essential for his future.

A buyer's guide comparing the Chevy Camaro vs Dodge Charger, two classic American muscle cars with a modern touch.
When it comes to sports cars, they don't all have a huge price tag. There are many affordable sports cars on the market for interested new car buyers. If you are looking for an American sports car, you may want to conduct a Chevy Camaro vs. Dodge Charger comparison.
Chevrolet Camaro
The Chevy Camaro is a favorite with car enthusiasts for its muscle car looks and attractive price. The base trim Camaro has a starting cost of $23,345 and comes with the following standard features:
- 3.6-liter, V6 engine
- Maximum 426 horsepower
- 6-speed manual transmission
- Bluetooth technology
- OnStar service access
Optional features for the Camaro include leather seats, automatic transmission and chrome wheels. The Chevy Camaro performs about as well as the rest of the cars in its class when it comes to gas mileage. Drivers can expect an average of 17 mpg on city roads and 28 mpg on the highway.
The interior cabin space is large enough to fit four adults comfortable, although some car reviews noted that the front seat is not particularly roomy. Even with the lack of interior space, sports car enthusiasts will find that the Camaro has the top speed and performance that has made this car a household name.
Dodge Charger
American muscle car fans are still thrilled that the Charger is back on the market, and the newest model does not disappoint. The base trim for the Charger starts at $25,995 with the following features included standard on every model:
- All-season tires
- Keyless entry
- Auto-off headlights
- Child safety locks
- 292 horsepower with base engine package
Buyers can choose from seven factory colors and a wide range of options packages in addition to the standard features.
The Charger is comparable to the Camaro when it comes to gas mileage. The base model gets an average of 19 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. Buyers can purchase the V8 Hemi engine package, which is a popular option but one that does lower gas mileage for this car.
Like the Camaro, the Dodge Charger is an American classic. This car can comfortably seat five adults, making it affordable and practical as a sports car choice.
Get local price quotes for the Chevy Camaro vs Dodge Charger now!
As you shop for your new sports car, you will want to consider prices and the cost of ownership for each car. The cost of ownership can be quite high for sports cars due to the lower fuel economy and higher insurance rates. You may want to consider consulting your auto insurance agent as part of your new car research.
You should read a buying guide for each model that you are considering in order to fully understand all available features and options. Remember that a Chevy Camaro vs. Dodge Charger comparison can also be a valuable shopping tool. Use Reply! to find local dealers in your area that can set up test drives and provide outstanding price estimates.

One of the world's best selling drugs just became more affordable. Insurance provider Cigna changed the status of Lipitor, Pfizer's $12 billion cholesterol drug, to "preferred" in an effort to help its 6.5 million members get access to the branded medication.
"We are constantly monitoring drugs that will go generic in the next couple of years, and try to negotiate payments that would allow us to move the expensive non-preferred drugs to preferred status," said Lindsay Shearer, Cigna spokeswoman for pharmacy management. "This allows us to get as many people onto the drugs as possible in the time period between now and when the drug goes generic."
Cigna's strategy is to help people save money now, and easily fill the generic prescription once it becomes available—avoiding the cost of visiting the doctor for a new prescription.
"If they are on another drug in the class right now, they would have to get a prescription from their doctor to get generic Lipitor," Shearer told Pharm Exec on Tuesday. "People taking another medication because it was less expensive can now have access to Lipitor. and switch to the generic as soon as it become available."
Like most health insurance providers, Cigna sets costs to its members based on a three-tier formulary: generic, preferred brand, and non-preferred brand drugs, with costs increasing as a drug moves up in tiers.
While the cost-savings come at a time when the public is struggling to make ends meet, Cigna says that it wasn't necessarily a factor in the tier change. "This is part of our ongoing strategy, and we are very pleased that we are able to make this happen at a time when we are in such a difficult situation with the economy," Shearer said.
The company would not disclose how its payment structure with Pfizer would change now that the drug has become cheaper to sell. "Clearly, Pfizer is our partner in this and they are working with us to make sure that our members have access to Lipitor at a lower cost."
Positive Lipitor Study
In related news, Pfizer announced last Wednesday that patients on Lipitor saw a 13 percent drop in the risk of cardiovascular events compared to patients taking Zocor (simvastatin). The observational study examined 219,000 patients ages18 to 64 that never took a statin and showed no signs of prior heart problems.
"This latest analysis suggest(s) that patients who are treated with Lipitor may have a reduced risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event compared with patients who use simvastatin," stated Michael Berelowitz, senior vice president of Pfizer's global medical division, in a release. "Findings such as these should be taken into account by those who may assume that medicines in a therapeutic class are interchangeable, and provide similar outcomes."

Hi all,
I will start with a brief synopsis of my setup:
1. I use zimbra 5.0.12 (ubuntu 32bit) as our main mail server
2. We are looking at going 64bit and faster procs and zimbra 6
3. So I started out by creating a mail server called with hostname as "mail2.*".
4. Then I created all accounts using a script and zmprov.
5. Then copied "all" mail over using imapsync
Now that I have a current snapshot of mail I want to use zmsetservername to change the servername from "mail" to "mail2" I turn off(power down) mail and then I run the command 'zmsetservername -n mail.chinooksd.ca' and wait.
The errors I get complain about
"Unable to determine enabled services from ldap.
Unable to determine enabled services. Cache is out of date or doesnt exist."
I then set my hosts file to:
rcaudill@mail2:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
*.*.*.* mail2.chinooksd.ca mail2
I also change "/etc/hostname" to mail.chinooksd.ca and then I update my networking to reflect the new ip.
Dig shows:
; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> chinooksd.ca mx
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; Query time: 137 msec
;; WHEN: Wed Jul 14 07:00:50 2010
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 190
When I reboot the server I still get the previous messages above. I then read various docs and think it could be the certs.
So then I run:
"zmcertmgr createca -new"
"zmcertmgr createcrt self -new"
"zmcertmgr deploycrt self"
And yet I still get the same problems. I then run "zmsetservername -n mail2.chinooksd.ca" and update hosts,hostname, and networking and restart and mail2 works again. Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?

Unsuccessful job seekers might be tempted to buy into the old adage, "It's not what you know, but who you know."
However, University Career Services (UCS) at UNC-Chapel Hill challenges students to rethink this age-old myth by touting, "It's what you know, who you know and, just as important, who knows you!" UCS fosters these critical career connections through various programs and workshops.
It's What You Know
"In light of last year's decline in the job market, we decided that students needed some extra help looking for a job," said UCS Associate Director, Tim Stiles. "So we created a specialized workshop to help graduating seniors find a job in a down economy. Over 40 students attended this spring workshop focusing on innovative techniques and the overall feedback was very positive," said Stiles.
Students participating were taught successful networking strategies that go beyond traditional job search strategies. "Although we have seen a slight improvement in this year's job market and employer confidence in hiring, we are offering two workshops again this Spring," said Stiles.
"Armed with this information, we hope it will help students shorten the time they spend looking for a job after graduation."
It's Who You Know
"Tenacity and persistence are keys to getting a job offer," says UCS Director, O. Ray Angle, "and the students who are successful are the ones who are well-connected to the industry and professionals in their chosen fields."
Career fairs give students a chance to connect with a variety of industries and individuals recruiting for those industries. UCS hosts seven career fairs each year with the most recent being the Spring Career Expo in March. At this event 59 employers spoke to over 370 students.
"Even with a challenging economy, the employers who attended the fair were eager to find talented Carolina alumni to hit the ground running in their organizations," said Angle.
It's Who Knows You
"Our networking nights are designed to allow students and UNC alums and supporters to connect informally with students to discuss career fields and employment opportunities," said Jeff Sackaroff, UCS Associate Director.
This year UCS sponsored nine networking nights which brought together over 170 UNC friends and alumni to meet with over 570 UNC students.
"In addition to helping students learn more about their possible career interests, these networking events also give students the opportunity to develop more productive professional relationships that go beyond the hurried interactions they may experience at career fairs," said Sackaroff.
"Students have responded positively to these networking nights and our alums appreciate that we invite them back to share their expertise with students."
