"Women, rise up"

The women's collective Femmes Lèves-Toi (Women, Rise Up) is a force for change in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, starting at the community level. The International Rescue Committee's Aisha Bain recounts an inspiring meeting with its members, on the Huffington Post.
"I lived in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in 2008 and 2009, a challenging time rocked by earthquake and war. Almost every Congolese person I've talked to in North and South Kivu has a story about fear, pain and suffering. But I saw, experienced and lived much more than that. The people of this nation shared with me transcendent moments of resilience and triumph. This is the Congo everyone should know, the one characterized by the resourcefulness and hope of a strong people with endless potential.
My project with the IRC has given me the opportunity to do just this— act as a megaphone to spread the stories of these determined Congolese. In 2012, I returned to Congo as part of the IRC's project to advocate for effective change and transformation in the lives of women and girls."

Are there any Python built-ins or widely used Python libraries to perform a search in a sorted sequence?
It's worth noting that there are a couple high-quality Python libraries for maintaining a sorted list which also implement fast searching: sortedcontainers and blist. Using these depends of course on how often you're inserting/removing elements from the list and needing to search. Each of those modules provide a SortedList class which efficiently maintains the items in sort order.
From the documentation for SortedList:
Both implementations use binary search to find the correct index of the given value. There's a performance comparison page for choosing between the two modules.

When can a baby start drinking water?
Hello moms and dads. My son is 7 months old. I've read that you shouldn't give babies water because since their kidneys are still developing, when they drink water, it filters out really quickly potassium from their bodies. So I was wondering at what age can a baby start drinking just water?

the following article says, "Babies younger than six months old should never be given water to drink." i'm assuming babies older than 6 months can drink water. http://www.babycenter.com/204_drinking-water-can-harm-babies_5232695.bcposted 02/05/2009 by adonai2me

As long as I can consciously remember, movies have held me together, lifted my spirits, fed my dreams, and given me a respite from the travails of everyday life and responsibility. I clearly remember as my bone marrow transplant was being scheduled trying to ascertain what movies would open while I was hospitalized and if they would be around long enough for me to still see in the theatre. I don't believe in the DVD route. No, I have to buy the ticket, get my Pepsi and popcorn, and go into the dark theatre and have my experience. It has to be that way.
My Air Force family saw movies all over the world. When we were little, my father would count down exactly to zero as the curtain would open and the screen would light up right on his cue, like a magic trick. When I got older, I shocked my parents by begging to go alone, especially on a big occasion such as the very day that West Side Story opened. I had already discovered that movies would never be a casual date for me, or a social experience. The movie theatre was my church and it was a solitary experience.
When we were stationed in Ankara, Turkey where we existed somehow with no phones or television, my father drove me and my sister to the American movie theatre one evening. What was supposed to be a family film actually turned out to be In the French Style, a very non-family movie, and once my father drove away, there was no way to reach him. My sister insisted that we stay, despite my pleas to wait upstairs in the library for my father's return, even seemed to relish the sexual theme, but she was three years older. You might say I got the birds and the bees speech that night from the movie screen, which was a lot less uncomfortable than the one we got later that night after I tattled on my sister for making us stay. My mom figured that now that the cat was out of the bag, she would make my dad explain everything to us before dinner. I got the advanced version after attending Bonnie and Clyde with my parents.
I fell in love with my future husband when on our first date he took me to a double feature at the drive -- in in his big red Buick with the white leather seats and three speeds on the column. We did absolutely nothing but watch both movies from start to finish, one being Joy in the Morning, starring Richard Chamberlain and Yvette Mimieux. He has been my perfect film partner for 38 years since that evening.
When our two boys arrived in our lives, my parents would watch them so we could keep up our movie going tradition, needed in a different way now that we were parents. Our children attended the Disney classic animated features with us when they were old enough to sit still and they were reading sub-titles by first grade. I was so proud at the end of an epic movie when my older son said he liked it but disagreed with the last shot, thinking a wider angle would have worked better. When he was fourteen, I took him to a movie about unwanted teen pregnancy, knowing that the heartbreaking scenes with the two high school kids trying to make things work with a new baby would be far more effective than a mother-son talk.
Now we all work together in our large family business and have an understanding that when someone needs a movie, no questions asked. Off they go and we cover for each other if necessary. It is not unusual for us to sneak out to a movie on a weekday afternoon and see one of our sons' cars already there. It is as deep a part of our family culture as any holiday tradition.
Our local movie theatre chain, now national, has a wonderful policy of hiring handicapped and mentally challenged workers. Often as I was running, sometimes nearly screaming, out of my office to take a movie break, one particular ticket taker would welcome me with so much joy and affection that it seemed somehow to put everything into perspective. We came to know each other and I once wrote a letter to the owner about her stellar performance at the ticket stand and he kindly wrote me back saying he had shown his appreciation to her with a lovely dinner out as a reward for her excellent customer service. She made me a ceramic angel in crafts class which still sits on my desk and we have stayed in touch over the years. The memory of her waiting to greet me as I entered my beloved movie theatre always reminds me of the amazing benefits of a smile and a good dose of kindness.
Somewhere along the way, movies stopped doing their part. The entire ritual is still in tact, but the magic and essence of experiencing a good movie is becoming more and more extinct. The advent of the multiplex seemed to breed volume rather than quality and gradually it became clear that moviemaking had become more big business than art form. One good, successful film always has its eye on a sequel, a "franchise", and so often it seems that the special quality of the original is never matched. There is talk of demographics and catering to the young movie goer which breeds horror films and sex comedies galore. On the Monday morning news, box office successes and failures for the weekend are reported. Just walk down the hall at your local multiplex and have a look at the heavily photoshopped posters and see if there is even one that you simply can't wait to see.
Meanwhile it is becoming increasingly difficult for small films with wonderful stories, good acting, and strong screenplays to get made. And even if they can be made for relatively small budgets, if they don't develop a following right away, the next time they are even harder to get made. And ironically, they often don't get a chance to develop a following because the distributors don't want to invest in marketing and wide circulation to create the opportunity. You have to wonder how many little five million dollar gems there are out there, such as City Island, that we will never see unless there is a producer hell bent on making it his life's work for the next five to seven years.
I still believe in the power of the dark theatre but so often when I sit down ready to be swept away into another world, it just doesn't happen. Maybe it's the digital background, knowing it was created in a computer lab. Or maybe it's knowing way too much about the actors and their recent divorces, sex tapes, drug rehab or how many millions they got paid for the film. Maybe it's reading about all the production troubles long before the film's release. Maybe it's because screenwriters seem to have missed class on the day that dramatic structure was taught. Maybe it's because I know that I am valued for my box office dollar more than anything. Maybe it's because less and less seems to be expected of me, feeling more like a voyeur rather than an involved party, especially when they run the outtakes over the credits and you see how much fun they had making the movie while you wish you had only half as much fun watching it.
I won't stop going to the movies but it is time to admit that I am grieving for something that no longer exists. As we move into the 3D era in both the theatre and our living rooms, I will continue to long for that movie going experience that enriches your life, transports you, fills you up, and thrills you in an emotional way that nothing else can. Is that too much to ask? I hope not.

Hi again Carol,
I just posted a reply to Mike (see above) with the System Requirements according to Carina. The only thing you need Adobe Reader for is to read the manual. It shouldn't impact your installation at all. You should at some point get a pop-up during installation asking a number of questions with check boxes next to them. One of them will be to read the manual. If you make sure the box is cleared, it won't even look for Adobe Reader.
Have you tried launching the program just to see if it installed? Look in your Start menu; it may or may not have put an icon on your desktop, but it should definitely have put a folder in your Start menu. Alternatively, open your C: drive (assuming that's your installation drive), then Program Files/Carina Software/Voyager 4.5/ It should be there if you've already run the installer.
Carina also said (in e-mail) that any PDF reader should work. As far as getting far enough along in installation to see a pop-up box with questions;; no; the installation aborts as soon as the pop-up window appears, & you click ok:
"You need to install Adobe Reader or another program that can read PDF. This is required to read user's guide"
Then this appears:
"Wizard was interrupted before Voyager 4.5 could be completely installed".
No, it is not in the Start Menu, nor is there an icon on the desktop. It is on my hard drive under "My documents". However, clicking on it, just tries to install it again.
FoxIt is set as my default PDF reader, it appears in the registry; so don't have a clue why the program isn't recognizing it.

Reconsidering Travel in the Aftermath of September Eleventh
The Borland Software Corporation's policy is inconvenient, but it's too risky to do it otherwise.
It has become one of the top security issues facing organizations. In a surveyconducted by the Business Travel Coalition of its corporate members, 62 percentprohibited all travel through at least September 16, and 88 percent said employeeswould reduce travel in the future. A survey by the Society for Human ResourceManagement also found that 52 percent said employees do not consider businesstravel as glamorous and 37 percent said the companies are curtailing businesstravel.
Create a policy that makes travel less risky
On the other hand, we all know that business travelcannot -- and will not -- be eliminated. The National Business Travel Association(NBTA), whose members are responsible for more than 70 percent of U.S. businesstravel ($185 billion) or over 40 million business travelers a year, stated onOctober 1 that 70 percent of those surveyed anticipate a recovery in businesstravel within three to six months. What this means is that corporate travelprocedures and processes have to be revamped. And many companies are doing justthat.
"We immediately changed our travel policy, "says Roger Barney, chiefadministrative officer for Borland Software Corporation, based in Scotts Valley,California. "We originally allowed two senior executives and up to 10 employeesto travel together on one airplane, and changed that to one senior exec anda maximum of five employees."
With a worldwide employee population of 1,100 and only six senior executivesin the company, Borland created a matrix based on the organizational chart thatdoesn't allow two critically important people to travel together. For example,the vice president of product development and a chief scientist cannot fly together;a business unit vice president and a chief scientist or two business unit vicepresidents cannot travel together. "We don't want to lose anybody, butwe asked ourselves, 'if something were to happen, could we recover or wouldit do serious damage to the company?'"
Borland created and published the matrix, with instructions to the travel agencythat it cannot book those two people on the same plane. It creates inconveniencebecause those are precisely the pairs and groups of people who would use theirtravel time together to do work. But Borland sees it as too risky to do otherwise.
Creating the matrix is not very difficult, requiring a bit of organizationaland a bit of business logic. Take the org chart and study it. The top peoplemay not be indicated by title, but by function or uniqueness of skill. Lookat your product lines. Who runs them? Are there technical people who are critical,along with the business-unit head? Think about what you would do if you lostthat uniqueness of skill. Could you still keep the business running?
Consider overseeing travel more strictly and establishing a central clearinghousethat everyone goes through. "Every company should have a tight travel policyso management knows where people are," says Elaine Carey, senior vice president of Control Risks Group. "Travel should be vetted through a central sourceso someone who knows what is happening in the world can tell people."
Companies are asking employees to reconsider theirtravel seriously -- if they really need to travel and where they'regoing. They're asking workers to use judgment about the location, which mayor may not be volatile, but if there were a terrorist attack, would they beable to get home?
Finally, the simplest precautions are to be sure that managers have severalcontact numbers for all traveling employees and to make available to travelerseasy ways to get in touch with the company.
How to limit travel
Of course, many firms are looking to technology to reduce travel -- for securityas well as for cost-savings reasons. In the first half of 2001, there were morethan 13 million teleconference calls placed in North America, according to TeleSpanPublishing, and information suggests an increase of 20 to 50 percent since September11.
Videoconferencing is another alternative companies are investigating. Accordingto New York-based The Conference Board, there is renewed interest. They speculatethat the confluence of improved technology, which offers dramatic differencesin quality, and the desire to cut travel, means that videoconferencing may becomemore widely accepted.
But limiting travel and making it safer -- both for the company and the employee-- won't resolve every situation.
Coping with employees who can't cope
Organizations currently have to figure out how they can best respond to expressionsof anxiety and fear on part of employees who have to travel by air. Does thefirm have any obligation to allow the employee to use alternative methods oftransportation or to simply bow out of a trip that might have been planned aheadof time?
"It's important to keep in mind that the law may allow an employer totake certain positions with regard to requiring travel that may not necessarilybe the most prudent or most sensitive approach," says Stephen Sonnenberg,a partner at Los Angeles-based law firm Paul, Hastings, Janofsky and Walker.For example, it may be a bona fide requirement of an employee's job to travel,and that requires air travel across the country in order to do work in a reasonablyefficient manner. But for an employer to simply insist that it is not goingto look at alternatives isn't wise. In other words, don't act solely on thebasis of what the law allows.
There are several options if you find yourself facing this situation. Manyemployers are reminding employees about the services of employee assistanceprograms (EAPs). This is a wise and sensitive thing to do. "Everyone isanxious, whether or not you have to travel by air, and to the extent that anEAP helps the employee keep the anxiety in check, and, in the long run, focusedon work, that's good for the employee and the employer," says Sonnenberg.
Other options are to use other forms of transportation in the short-term. Whenan employee proposes an alternative means of transportation, if it doesn't causeunreasonable expense or cost too much extra time, employers should seriouslyconsider allowing employees to do so, for at least some period of time.
Another option is to consider is whether someone else can take over that partof the job on a temporary basis. Consider the possibility of substituting someoneelse who won't be as anxious to fly.
"There will be instances where no one else can do it," says Sonnenberg,and that's when you may face a dilemma. "There are many different typesof employees, and some of them may have had chronic problems for some time beforeSeptember 11, and now this is yet another way they are challenging the employer'sability and right to direct them to do a particular job." This poses aparticularly difficult situation for employers where there is a history of difficulties,and this is just another in a series of problems. The challenge is to not seethis simply as an act of insubordination, but to try to deal with this employeewith flexibility.
In the final analysis, though, there will be situations where--from a legalperspective--the employer does have the right to ask the employee to travel.If the employee refuses to do so, is he or she being insubordinate? "Dependingon the facts, it may be yes," Sonnenberg says. Could the employee asserta legal claim against the employer because of unsafe working conditions? "Here,the FAA and members of our government are assuring us that air travel is assafe as they can make it. So, ultimately, an employee cannot really make thatclaim," he says. (Obviously, you would always want to contact an attorneyabout a specific situation.)
From a hiring perspective, Sonnenberg says that an employer cannot and shouldnot ask questions that are going to identify a mental or physical impairment,so you wouldn't want to ask if someone has a phobia or anxiety condition. Butit is wise to make it crystal clear from the beginning in describing the jobduties that travel is an essential part of the job, and to be specific aboutthe means of travel, the destinations, and the frequency.

It looks a lot more expensive than the Kettler Twin, a website for a store in San Francisco says as the difference:
powerful hydraulic rim brakes and a larger range Nexus 8-speed hub
I'm not very knowledgeable, but how important are the hydraulic brakes for Bay area biking--and I live atop a STEEP, BIG, hill? Are the Twin's brakes good enough?
And anyone know how the Kettlers compare to the Kalkhoffs?

Betts day-to-day
Posted By On February 6, 2008 @ 4:30 pm In Uncategorized | 41 Comments
And now back to hockey….
Blair Betts' MRI on his left knee revealed no tears, which is a welcome sign for the Rangers. He is considered day-to-day, although he told me he will try to skate tomorrow.
Either way, the Rangers have Greg Moore in town in case Betts can't play.
Dane Byers, who looked energetic if not a little jittery in his NHL debut, was returned to Hartford.
However misguided he might be, you have to give credit to Brandon Dubinsky, who after practice said to myself and others, "I challenge you guys to not write about what happened today in practice."
It was a stab in the dark and Dubinsky knew it.
"Only if you give me something better to write," I said. "And I can't write another 'Dubinsky is good,' story."
"Definitely not after last night," the rookie said.

|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.
Further to the information provided in Country Reports 2002, BRB39025.E of 12 June 2002 and earlier Responses, the following information on state protection measures available to victims of domestic violence was provided by the Government of Barbados in its fourth periodic report before the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The report is dated 24 November 2000 and was heard by CEDAW in August 2002 (UN 13 Aug. 2002).
Invoking the Domestic Violence (Protection) Orders Legislation may protect a Woman who has been violently attacked in domestic circumstances. Protection orders may be obtained from a magistrate on the application of the victim, any other on her behalf or the Commissioner of Police. In the more serious circumstances, the police may seek to place the female in protective custody.
Under the Domestic Violence Legislation, orders could be made restricting the attackers' access to the victim. A 'power of arrest' may also be attached to such order if it is thought that the attacker is likely to breach the order (UN 24 Nov. 2000, 28).
During a 22 September 2003 telephone interview, a senior staff member of the Bureau of Women's Affairs of Barbados corroborated the above information, while adding the following: There has been no change made in the protection measures available to victims of domestic violence since the 1992 Domestic Violence Protection Orders Act; however, instead of police custody for victims who might be at risk, the Bureau has provided a safe-house that is managed by a local non-governmental organization. The safe-house is meant only for temporary shelter (Barbados 22 Sept. 2003). Counselling for victims is also available through the Department of Welfare, which, whenever possible, provides counselling to victims and families that go before the court. The preferred goal of the counselling assistance is to keep families together (ibid.).
A copy of the 1992 Domestic Violence Protection Orders Act could not be obtained for inclusion with this Response within time constraints.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.

A growing body of evidence shows that women offer unique contributions to making and keeping peace in countries around the world– and those contributions lead to better outcomes not just for women, but for entire societies. Yet, too many peace negotiations and processes exclude women. Further, sexual violence in conflict can be both a cause and consequence of a societal breakdown, and is increasingly recognized as a facet of many conflicts. Even in places where wars have officially come to an end, or where there is simmering low intensity conflict, women and girls are often still affected by high levels of violence and insecurity. In addition, widespread impunity and breakdown in the rule of law can contribute to high rates of gender based violence, including domestic violence.
The United States' first-ever National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security (NAP), was released in December 2011, accompanied by Executive Order 13595, which together aim to ensure that women participate equally in preventing conflict and building peace in countries threatened and affected by war, violence, and insecurity. The NAP outlines U.S. government commitments toward: ensuring that women participate more fully in peace negotiations and reconstruction; protecting women and children from harm and abuse in conflict affected areas; promoting women's roles in conflict prevention; and addressing the needs of women and girls in disaster and crisis response.
In August, 2012, the Department of State released the U.S. Department of State Implementation Plan of the National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security: The plan provides guidance for how the Department, both in Washington and at U.S. embassies and consulates, can advance efforts under the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security. The Department's implementation of the NAP demonstrates its commitment to furthering the promotion of gender equality in service of U.S. foreign policy and national security.

Re: Tamburrini/Spinelli/Atina
Mina - All records in Italy are kept at the local level, although copies are sent to the provincial archives. Many towns have had their records microfilmed by the Latter Day Saints (Mormons). Unfortunately, the records of Monteprandone apparently have not been filmed. Thus, if you want to research the records of Monteprandone, you will have to either write to the Ufficio dello Stato Civile of the comune or actually make a field trip to the town. The Tamburrini family that I've researched originated in the town of Atina and, therefore, my database is of no help to you. You might want to take a look at the website for the comune: http://www.comune.monteprandone.ap.it. The email address for the office of vital statistics is email@example.com. There is a separate email address for the office of vital statistics of Centobuchi, a frazione of Monteprandone: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Don't Tread On Us
Little as the American people like warfare, the United States' reply to North
Vietnamese attacks on our destroyers was the most realistic possible.
Few in this nation are happy over the chain of events. Only a fool enjoys the
excitement of gunfire exchange. And the prospects of nuclear war could please
only an idiot. But there a point beyond which no man can be pushed and that
was reached early this week when North Vietnamese craft attacked American destroyers
a second time in international waters.
"No peace by aggression and no immunity from reply," President Lyndon
B. Johnson declared Wednesday at Syracuse University. This statement of U.S.
policy is fair warning to those who would employ violence against us.
If the Communist leaders of the Chinese People's republic were merely testing
Washington's reactions in an election year, they know now retaliation will be
swift and certain. American men and planes were lost in the attack on North
Vietnam shore bases. But the Reds suffered far more in causalities and damage.
In case the PT boats' attacks on U.S. Navy craft were the opening of a Communist
drive to take over all Asia by force, the issue was joined unfavorably from
Peking's standpoint. Furthermore, there was little good news for China also
in swift American reinforcement of land, sea and air units in the threatened
All Americans hope the incidents were tests. They would prefer a world state
of uneasy peace to one of widespread bloodshed. During the past 19 years, however,
they have been pushed and shoved constantly by Communism. Their temper today
is one of resolution not to take another backward step.
The best reaction to armed attack is immediate and crushing counterattack.
This the United States has done in North Vietnam. Perhaps the Reds will not
repeat their aggression in the Gulf of Tonkin. Judging by the past, however,
it is certain they will try something- somewhere- and not before too long.
Korea, the Berlin blockade, missile bases in Cuba and Tonkin Gulf attacks are
all part of a pattern. This week proved the American people will still react
vigorously and effectively. Our domestic policy divisions have not lessened
our determination to resist Communist aggression and we trust the men in Moscow
and Peking understand that facet of the American character.
The subject of this August 6, 1964 editorial from "The Greenfield Recorder" is the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which occurred on August 2nd and 4th. The tone of the article and the assertions made by its author broadly reflect the sentiments shared by many in United States at the time. Ever since Dwight D. Eisenhower had been in office in the 1950s, American Presidents and foreign policymakers had claimed that Communist governments were aggressive. The editorial illustrates the extent to which United States citizens believed that the Vietnam War was actually a conflict between Communist countries headed by China and the Soviet Union and the United States. The author assumes that the North Vietnamese were acting under the influence of China when they attacked United States' destroyers in the international waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. The author asserts that "if the Communist leaders of the Chinese People's republic were merely testing Washington's reactions-they know now retaliation will be swift and certain". The United States' increasing participation in the Vietnam War was widely seen as insurance against the "domino theory". Many Americans believed that if South Vietnam became a Communist-led country, that other nations in Southeast Asia would soon follow.

BOSTON U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and his Democratic rival, Elizabeth Warren, debated Monday night at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in front of an audience of thousands. It was an hour of parrying, jabs of humor and testiness.
In their first debate two weeks ago, Brown attacked out of the gate and Warren held her own. This second debate began as the last, with seven minutes about Warren's American Indian heritage. But she moved on and demonstrated humor. For instance, when moderator David Gregory, of NBC, asked her if it troubles her that Massachusetts has never elected a woman to the Senate, Warren said, "Well, right now, I'm trying to do something about that."
Warren learned to needle Brown and to do it with a light touch. For instance, here's the challenger when Brown said he had released a list of his law clients:
I haven't seen a list of Sen. Brown's clients. All I know is that Sen. Brown said at a press conference last week that somehow, over the last 25 years, while he's been out there working in the public interest and representing people here in Massachusetts, that he also was representing banks and mortgage companies, but I haven't seen a list of those clients and I didn't realize that it had been made public. Is that right, that there is a public list now of all the clients Sen. Brown had and the work he did for them?
Brown has not released a list of his clients. Just before the debate, Warren did release a list of 13 cases on which she worked from 1995 to 2009. Here's Brown:
Professor, with all due respect, the only person that's required to provide a list is you, when you actually have to provide it on a yearly basis to Harvard, and when asked if there was in fact a list, you said no, there is no list. Well, we find out that there is in fact a list, and apparently, she's released it tonight. I made it very clear last week. People know that I am real estate attorney. I have an office in my home. I represent a couple of small cooperative banks.
Brown came back to a line of questioning he used in the first debate: He brought up Warren's representation of Travelers Insurance Co. in a case in which Warren was seeking to establish a trust fund for victims of asbestos contamination.
"And if I had the chance, I would do it again," Warren said.
"Travelers Insurance Co. is not going to pay a quarter of a million dollars to Professor Warren to be a hired gun to work for the victims," Brown replied. "So that's laughable, let's get that right out."
"This was insurance company versus insurance company," Warren retorted. "Two insurance companies were fighting in the United States Supreme Court. If one of them won, then the asbestos victims would have a chance to get another half billion dollars in payments, and there would be a device to pay them over time."
Warren returned to a line of indictment she used in the first debate: Brown's voting record in the Senate. She presented it as one of repeatedly voting against initiatives she argues would have created jobs or helped the unemployed.
"If you're going to comment on my record, I would at least have you refer to it," Brown said.
Warren tried to interject.
"Excuse me, I'm not a student in your classroom, please let me respond, OK?" Brown told her, drawing groans, whistles and cheers from the audience. "With regard to the jobs bills, they were rejected in a bipartisan manner."
To show how bipartisan he is, Brown made a surprising announcement when asked if he would vote for Sen. Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky, to lead Senate Republicans again. Brown said he is undecided.
As in their first debate, Warren seemed the more comfortable, the more poised, the more confident.
The two formidable candidates are locked in a tight race. There's two more debates to go.

Everyday Git Aliases
Git gives you as much flexibility in how you construct your VCS workflow as it does for the commands you use on your local repo. In your gitconfig file you can add alises for your favourite commands, in this article I'll talk about mine. You can see my gitconfig on github.
git standup
alias for git log ––since yesterday ––author joe ––all
Just about to head to a standup but you can't remember everything that you did yesterday? This command will come to your rescue. It only lists what you did in the last 24 hours.
3400455 - fixed the whizzbang (Mon, 1 Apr 2013 13:57:37 +0100) <Joe Wright>
5dae0a0 - whizzbang feature (Mon, 1 Apr 2013 13:57:32 +0100) <Joe Wright>
git purr
alias for git pull ––rebase
In Git you have public and private branches, public branches are the ones on github (or your own git host), private branches are in your local git repo and are setup to be tracking or topic. A tracking branch is linked to a public branch and a topic is only in your local git repo.
You have two options when you want to integrate changes between branches, either you merge or rebase. By default when you do a pull on a tracked branch it performs a fetch then a merge. If you've made changes locally and someone else has pushed changes to your git host then git will automatically merge these together with a merge commit.
4ffe733 - Merge branch 'development' of github.com:YourCompany/project into master
On an active project with other colleagues using pull will generate a load of these noisy commits in your projects history. I only like merge commits to be in the history when a topic branch has been reintegrated. Tracking branches should have a linear history.
When you do a git pull ––rebase, git fetches the changes from your remote repo and then perform a rebase rather than the default merge. A rebase resets the HEAD of your local branch to be the same as the remote HEAD, then replays your local commits back into repo. This means you don't get any noisy merge messages in your history. As well as giving a linear history, this also helps when using bisect.
git stalias for git status -sb
Git gives a verbose output when you perform a status which is excellent when you are getting started with git. As you become used to the output you want a shorter version. The output of this alias shows a single letter that represents the change type and reports how far ahead of the remote branch you are.
## master...origin/master [ahead 2]
A g
D gitignore
git readyalias for git rebase -i @{u}
Once you've committed a few local changes you'll want to share them with your team by pushing to your git host. Before I push I always run the git ready alias to see what's going to be pushed so I can reword commit messages and squash related commits together. git ready performs an interactive rebase on your unpushed commits.
Let's say I've pushed two commits that are related to a new feature and I have another where I made a spelling mistake in the commit message. When I run git ready I get dropped into vim with this input.
pick 7f06d36 whizzbang feature - adding fizzbuzz
pick ad544d0 whizzbang feature - minor refactoring to fizzbuzz
pick de3083a spelling mizzztake
I want to squash the two whizzbang feature commits together. So I change pick to say s to squash the two together into a single commit. I also want to reword the commit with the spelling mistake. To do this I make the file look like:
pick 7f06d36 whizzbang feature - adding fizzbuzz
s ad544d0 whizzbang feature - minor refactoring to fizzbuzz
r de3083a spelling mizzztake<br />
This gives me two new commit messages to edit, which I update. Now when I push the remote repo host receives two commits
3400455 - spelling mistake
5dae0a0 - whizzbang feature

Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Steven Safyer, M.D., president and CEO of Montefiore Medical Center, announced today that Victor Schuster, M.D., will begin a transition from Chair of Medicine to the newly-created position of Senior Vice-Dean at Einstein. The two institutions will immediately commence a national search for chair. Dr. Schuster will remain as Chair until his successor is in place, at which point he will move into the deanship role.
As Sr. Vice-Dean, Dr. Schuster will play an important role in mentoring physician-scientists, will assist the Dean's office in Institutional Advancement activities, and will continue his research and teaching activities.
Schuster said, "I am now in my 11th year as chair. With the help of Montefiore, Einstein, my leadership team, our division chiefs, and our faculty, we have doubled the clinical practice and established important new programs and divisions. I have very much enjoyed leading this wonderful department. That said, my laboratory research program of the last 20 years has recently presented me with unique opportunities for clinical application that are irresistible. The new position will allow me not only to bring our research to the bedside but also to foster the shared academic missions of Einstein and Montefiore."
Recruited to Einstein/Montefiore in 1988, Dr. Schuster was Renal Division Chief for 10 years prior to becoming Chair in 2002. He has held national leadership positions in the Chairs of Medicine organization ("APM") and the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine, as well as in the International Society of Nephrology.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Usenet -> comp.databases.theory -> Re: pros and cons of using stored procedures
My experience is from Sybase environment. Here are some experiencfes and tips.
One good thing with stored procedures is that you can install them on-the-fly. Eg in a client-server system, if the SQL is embedded in the application, you must upgrade every box where the application is running when you change the SQL. If you can implement a change or bug fix by editing the sp only, it is easy to install the enhanced sp without touching the client machines at all. This is true as long as the input parameters and result set structure(s) of the procedure are not changed so that a change in the calling appication is needed.
Procedures can call other procedures. This can be useful in some specific situations. You can eg have different calculation formulas for a single logical purpose by letting clients call a single procedure, which in turn - according to a configuration stored in the db - calls other procedures where the different algorithms are implemented.
Managing the sp library is important to keep it under control. If every developer just writes his/her procedure without checking in the sp library first, you soon have several procedures doing nearly the same thing. No good.
Take care not to put any such logic in sps that can be implemented with constraints or key assignments.
Write the procedure documentation after the CREATE PROCEDURE clause, so it can be read with sp_helptext directly in the database.
If you have several databases in the server and you load one of them from a dump, you have to recompile all procedures that refer to the loaded database. Otherwise they may perform incorrectly.

As promised, herewith begins the Tober Chronicles.
I am anxious for your take on this story, and challenge anyone to guess the style I have chosen.
North and South do not exist,
East and West are a game we made;
Borders are a mark of greed, and
Time, the illusion we blame for our failures.
See, life is the thing, and even that
We make into something less or more than it is.
It is not a philosophy
It is not a god
It is not a political stand, no
It is the day. It is the current breath.
It is life.
And the purpose of life is to live.
Part One
They say it is difficult for a shadow to hide, but there was one, in all of time, that knew the secret. Calibre was a shadow among shadows, it existed outside of life, in exile, so to speak, but it could make itself invisible in a strong day's light, or allow itself to be seen in the deepest night.
Some would say that this could only be possible through magic. Others would say that even with magic involved, the idea of a sentient shadow was an odd one, but Calibre had no care for the thoughts of others. Calibre had only on task to perform, but more of that later.
Enoch Tober was an ordinary young man, in spite of his name. Everyone said he had a good life, and who was he to doubt it? He could reach the highest shelf in his house without stepping onto a chest or chair unlike the barber who had to stand on a box to cut some people's hair. He could get through the door without turning sideways, or holding in his stomach, unlike the baker who was also the tavern keeper, and who was known for a life of quiet self-indulgence. He could sleep at night without his feet hanging over at the foot of his bed, eat his meals at regular times, and he could take a day away from work one day a week.
He had the cleverness, and the wherewithal, to read a book now and then, and had a fit memory so that he would remember some of what he read.
He was neither rich, nor poor. His daily life was adequate, and he fit well in the little village of Goodhope.
He had what all the villagers said was a good and decent and important job, and was well-respected for his daily efforts.
Life was good, it seemed, because everyone told him it was, and who was he to doubt the word of so many good people?
In short, it would appear, he had everything he needed. Every "thing" but one.
Truth to tell, he had no idea what that missing thing was. It wasn't friendship. He had a friend, Karn the stable master's son. It wasn't education. He had been to school and could read and write as well as any in the village, and he understood something of numbers and reckoning.
It wasn't religion, for in fact while he had been religious from birth, the faith of his parents had deserted him, for one day a traveling salesman had come through town, and as he sat drinking at the tavern, had told of the other towns he visited; what each was like, and to Enoch's great surprise, what each village and town believed god to be like, and what this god expected of his or her followers.
"I am not uneducated," Enoch told himself while puzzling how one town could have this god, and another that. "Someday I must discover for myself which religion is correct." Until then, he decided, religion would be something for the future.
It was learning of the existence of different religions that planted the seed of unrest in Enoch Tober. Thinking of how the world everywhere must differ from the village of Goodhope bothered him at first, but as he pondered the possibilities, he grew restless to see the truth of it.
No, none of these things were missing, for how, he wondered, could something be missing if he knew what it was? Perhaps it was only his imagination playing a trick on him, like it did sometimes when he carried a candle from one side of his room to another. Shadows would jump, grow, shrink, and twist in the oddest ways, and would seem, now and then, as though they had a life of their own.
Putting off a decision about religion had changed his life, although he had yet to learn that it was so. To be fair, it could have been anything he put off for the future that would force a change in his fortunes, for it was just that putting off that turned his daily life to a life of preparation for life rather than life itself.

County adopts $25M budget
County Commissioners adopted the 2014 $25 million county budget at the Dec. 26 meeting.
Total millage held steady with no increase from 2013 at 10.83 mills, but taxpayers will get some relief.
A tax credit – equivalent to two mills – will be given to property owners, funded from Act 13 monies.
Sheriff Deputy Jon Record was hired to the non-union position of Chief Deputy Sheriff.
Maximus Consulting Services Inc. was contracted to conduct the cost allocation plan for the county for 2013, 2014 and 2015 at $4,900 per year. The study determines the costs of services used by each of the departments.
A 20-year reciprocal licensing agreement with Pennsylvania State Police for the use of Commonwealth towers.
After rejecting the sole bid received for the entry-way construction project planned for the treasurer's office, the commissioners put the project out to bid a second time.
The county received seven bids for the project, ranging in price from $179,300 to $270,798.
The commissioners plan to review the bids and will possibly move to award the project at the next meeting.
Commissioner Alan Hall said funded debt will be used to pay for the improvement project.
Bids for two county vehicles were also opened at the meeting and awarded to the highest bidders.
An unmarked, 2007 Chevrolet Impala was awarded to high bidder, Connie Ely-Gulbin; and Lanesboro was the high bidder on the 2008, marked Chevrolet Impala Police Sedan, coming in with a bid of $2,672.
Richard Ainey, of New Milford, was appointed to the Susquehanna County Historical Society & Library Board of Directors for the term beginning Dec. 26 and ending Dec. 25, 2014.

It's Friday, Bits and Bramblers! Not only is it Friday…it's not snowing! After the sixteen or seventeen straight days of snow, isn't it great to see the sun? Okay, so maybe the sun's not technically shining, but…it's still not snowing, so…there's that, at least. Why don't we distract ourselves by watching some trailers for movies, which are coming soon to a theater near you?
First up, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Not only is it a great book series (after all, the latest book made our list of 2009's Best Teen Books!) the movie looks really cool (and also makes me slightly nervous about taking the elevator here in the library. Yikes…) The movie opens February 12th:
Next, we have another movie based on a classic book. This time, it's Alice in Wonderland. The special effects look amazing, and we know the story is awesome, it's just…for some reason, Johnny Depp rocking the orange hair and crazy eyes…frightens me a little. Really. (Although…girls? How awesome is this?!?!) You can see it on the big screen starting March 5th:
Last but not least, we have a movie that comes out on May 21st (when "freezing drizzle" and "snow flurries" will be a far, far away memory. We hope.) It's Shrek: Forever After! In 3-D!

There could hardly have been a more opportune time than the last few days for a Seattle performance of Bruckner's Fourth Symphony. This is a work dominated by a horn part that is both taxing for the player and rewarding for the audience.
The Seattle Symphony's principal-horn chair has been unoccupied for the past two years, since John Cerminaro's 2011 departure, keenly regretted by connoisseurs of fine horn-playing. Associate principal Mark Robbins has filled in capably, but it was high time the principal's chair was filled. This happened just two weeks ago with the appointment as principal of Jeffrey Fair, who joined the orchestra's horns as assistant principal in 2003 and subsequently chose to step back in the section.
Thus the opportunity to prove his readiness for the top post came very soon with this program, and the proof on Saturday evening was compelling. His playing of the first movement's main theme at the beginning of the symphony had both finesse and a degree of assertiveness, opening the door for a reading, conducted by former music director Gerard Schwarz, that similarly combined sensitivity with a more outgoing manner than some performances bring to the work.
The dynamic range of the performance was huge, from some incredibly delicate pianissimos to richly textured fortissimos in Bruckner's oft-essayed climaxes. Principal flute Demarre McGill's dialogue with Fair and timpanist Michael Crusoe at the start of the first movement's recapitulation was especially beautiful, and the trombone section provided sumptuous tone and superbly accurate intonation throughout the symphony. It was wonderful too, with Schwarz's preferred seating of the two violin sections to left and right restored on this occasion, to hear their line coming majestically to the ear from the whole width of the stage.

The evening had begun with Garrick Ohlsson as soloist in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 9. By gradual but far from slow degrees, Ohlsson has established himself among the greatest pianists in the world. His very first phrase, which under other hands can sound perfunctory, immediately beguiled with its sense of fanciful play. He sounded as if he had all the time in the world to shape his line: There was air around the notes, and an ease of phrasing, matched by the lucid textures Schwarz drew from the orchestra, that confirmed this as one of the finest Mozart concerto performances I have ever heard.

Gene Simmons Family Jewels: All Is Fair In Love, War And Long Lost Siblings
June 14, 2011 04:34 PM by Christine McDow
Just when you thought it was safe to turn on A&E, Gene Simmons and his significant other, Shannon Tweed, are back with season six if Gene Simmons Family Jewels. The new season premieres tonight at 10pm EST. What do you have to look forward to during the 6th season of Gene Simmons Family Jewels? Keep reading to find out!
Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed are back on TV again to tackle real life family issues, including the long lost, very estranged siblings that Gene has in Israel. Siblings Gene may not have even known existed since his parents divorced when he was just 8 years old and he moved to America with his mom, never to see his father again. (THAT explains a lot of things!) It seems as if during this season we will see Shannon plot to reunite Gene with his siblings in order to expand on his family tree.
Read the SheKnows exclusive interview with Gene Simmons!
However, Gene Simmons Family Jewels is not just about Gene's family in Israel, and him forming a relationship with them. It is also about the roller coaster ride he lives with Shannon Tweed, who almost immediately walks out on Gene, saying she needs to evaluate their relationship and her role in it. As fans of the show know though, the couple often has little tiffs, but also always seem to come back together stronger than ever. Gene Simmons still refers to Shannon as the love of his life. Awe…how sweet!
As for the rest of the family, this season finds Sophie just entering college and Nick just getting out of college, trying to find his way in the real world.

I just watched the show this evening and I can't believe what a jerk Gene has turned out to be. I watched the show because I thought he was a loving family man with a wonderful relationship with his family.Gene doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs. What a role model, or so I thought. Boy was I stupid. Gene is self centered and doesn't know the meaning of family. Gene looks like a foolish old man with these plastic fake boobed air heads. You're 61 and when are you going to act your age. I was fooled when you presented yourself as a loving family man. You lost me as a fan. This is a perfect example of a man trying to be something he's not and you don't deserve Shannon. She's beautiful, loyal and dedicated to her wonderful children. Wow, give you head a shake.There is nothing more important than family. Money doesn't support you, hug you when you're down, give you chicken soup where you're sick, be a companion or someone to share your feeling with. You can never make up for missed opportunities with your kids and wife. I hope your money makes you warm and fuzzy at night in your old age.

I love this show, and partly because it shows the
"other" side of Gene when not a rockstar- it shows he's human like everyone else, and his teenag kids are like any teens- rolling their eyes at their silly parents. Gene and Shannon may tease eachother and may ight- but they always make it up in spite of Gene's busy life- that's dedicaton!

Shannon let him go, he is a man that is into himself, not into you. If he loved you he would have married you when you got pregnant the first time like a gentleman would have. Shannon move on, find real love with someone that would stand by you and want to be with just you! Treat you nice and not need other women hanging on their arms all the time.

I love this show!! I would NEVER open myself up to former family reality shows, but this one is great! I love Gene as he is a positive role model and a mothers' boy!!
I believe he has a personna to live up to, but meant no harm to Shannon.
As far as Shannon goes, I agree with her in that she is tired of "that" kind of "stuff" going on. Gene has lived his life with I am sure a million women lurking around. Shannon never showed jealousy and this was just the same,…no jealousy, just tired of that kind of bullshit in their lives. Gene knows he was wrong. I love this couple. Please you guys, work this out! You are so important to one another and I look up to you both.
Good luck to both of you. You are loved!

do you really think Shannon would have had 2 children and stuck around for twenty eight years if Gene Simmons wasn"t Gene Simmons and was very, very rich?? Please, grow up.
Carol Says:
October 2nd, 2011 at 6:40 am
I don't think that Shannon would have stuck around if Gene Simmons was not rick and famous. She even said so on one of their shows. I think they do sincerely love each other though. I'm glad they got married and wish them all the best in their future life together. I think Shannon did a great job raising her children. I must say, her son is so tall and good looking.
Nancy Says:
July 26th, 2012 at 8:50 am
I am a longtime fan of Gene Simmons and the reality show. I love how they go thru their problems with the children and communicate. I have been waiting for their return to television.
I just hope that Gene is truthful during this season. Gene and Shannon have done a wonderful job raising their children because even with being famous the children came first.

The Fox Theater
Spokane, Washington
Award Type: Honor Award
At its grand opening in 1931, the sleek Art Deco Fox Theater was the pride of Spokane, Wash. Built during the dark days of the Great Depression for a whopping $1 million, the Fox – at 2,300 seats – was the largest and only air-conditioned performance space in the city. Known for its decorative, eye-popping murals, the Fox hosted both films and live stage performances featuring a parade of Hollywood celebrities.
For more than four decades, the Fox held its own as a first-run movie house in a bustling downtown entertainment and shopping district. But as suburban malls and multiplexes began to lure moviegoers away from downtown, the theater began a period of decline. By 2000, the Fox was slated for demolition to make way for a parking lot.
When Spokane resident Myrtle Woldson provided a $3 million gift to jumpstart the theater's restoration, a unique public-private partnership was born. Reopened in 2007 after years of diligent fundraising and a meticulous $31 million restoration, the Fox is today a multi-use performing arts facility and the home of the Spokane Symphony Orchestra. The painstaking project included the removal of years of dirt, grime and popcorn grease and restoring the theater's original murals, marquees, light fixtures and interior finishes.
"The Fox Theater is a community treasure and is a key part of the ongoing economic revitalization of Spokane's historic downtown," said Stephanie Meeks, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "Even when the Fox's stage is bare, the building's murals, plasterwork and light fixtures put on a show worthy of a standing ovation."
