MySQL can be installed on a Windows box.
The only thing I can see using C++ for is changing all the spaces in the text files to line feeds (so each row is a word), but there's probably easier ways to do that too.
Edit - MySQL has tools for this, as does Oracle and I'm assuming SQL Express likely does too:
I'm sure you're interested in learning C++ or something but this really seems like re-inventing the wheel. Perhaps you're some kind of Uber Programming Personage but it seems doubtful that you're going to come up with something which is more optimized that a database w/ query parser/execution.
Also in your posted code you tested that the input file opened successfully but you didn't check that your output file did.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Gotcha...I was just pointing out that with the SQL solution (whether directly via DB/SQL or via C++ using SQL) it's irrelevant whether you're sorting or filtering.Which is why the title says C++ not SQL. I dont know how to edit this. I'm also trying to keep the title short while explaining in more detail in my post itself.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
first, if you want make fast i/o with fstream class, is better if you remove the synchronization between stdio and fstream. just call "std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);" before use fstream class.
second if you want sort huge file (file that don't fit in memory) try to read same chunks in memory and use quick sort on they, after use merge sort on the chucks to create an huge sorted file.
third use a std::string like key value in std::map is slow, usually if you can, try to use a type with a fast "< operator" for the key value.
Does it matter if I declare this in the global or local scope?Code:ios_base sync_with_stdio(false);
I'm reading as much as I can about how to code the sorting into this which is why I haven't posted on this for a while. There's just soo many ways to do it.
The only values I know for words like in this case are string or char.
I came to the conclusion that since the lengths of the strings and the length of the file were unknown that it would be really difficult to use an array of chars. I think it would be necessary to use 3 dimensional arrays if I went with the char route.
No cat.....sounds familiar. I think he just wants some C++ help, maybe for a school project.
That's true, sounds like a project he's doing.
All in all some interesting solutions.

>Off the Beaten Path>NYC Macy's parade is ok?
Chasing the bus
"You're either on the bus or off the bus." ― Tom Wolfe, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
Well, big difference between 3 weeks and 6 days to recover. I think if the marathon had been scheduled for this weekend it would be a go. There is also the fact the parade routes are uptown, and do not cover 26+ miles. I would certainly not advocate cancelling the Thanksgiving day parades. FWIW, I do not believe there was a practical reason to cancel the marathon, but given the irrational political backlash I think it was the right thing to do. I was hoping they would come up with an alternate course, but I doubt any of us understand what is involved politically to secure right of ways in NYC on short notice, especially in that climate. The plan B course would have had to exist ahead of the storm would be my guess.
Yeah, there has been some time. And I don't think the parade is spread across 26.2 and the entire city. And it doesn't involve 10s of 1000s of participants (though both the marathon and parade imply a ton of spectators).
It didn't even occur to me to try to compare the two.
Then again, I haven't paid attention to the Macy's parade in twenty years so there's that.
It's not just an issue of a lot of people and a path to follow. They can't make on-the-fly adjustments to the marathon course due to certification. From my understanding the most significant issue with the marathon was the Staten Island start location. Staten Island was pretty beat up by Sandy. The staging areas on the island are federal property as well. I don't think the two scenarios are comparable.
The hatred and discrimination against runners must end now! The government is behind it. Wake up people!
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive.
During the same weekend, thousands of people traveled through those same hurricane ravished areas to watch the Knicks, Nets and Giants play in midtown Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey. Not just one area of NYC.
High Horse
Ultimately it bolis down to politics and what events the population finds desirable. The parade and sporting events are things the masses find entertaining and supportive. Marathons appeal to a much smaller crowd.
What I found just plain dumb were the arguments about allocation of resources. The Non profit Marathon had already pledged more bucks than the entire NFL.
The Macy's Parade the NFL and NBA are institutions of entertainment and but marathoners are quirky wealthy self centered hobbyists in the eyes of many.
I firmly believed the marathon should have been run just as I believe the ball games should be played and the Parade.
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member ~ Groucho Marx.
As a New York City resident, I got to witness some of the destruction caused by Sandy. Fortunately, my area was okay, but I went downtown to go help some friends carry their valuables out of their partially flooded house, and it was not pretty.
At first I too thought the marathon should be run, because it was going to bring in a lot of spectators and money that the city could have used, but at the same time, there were a lot of logistical issues that would not have been easy to resolve. The city started putting those who had been removed from their homes into hotels in Midtown-- the same hotels that were booked for marathon runners and supporters. The staff who had been working overtime to help get people out of houses and keep the streets safe would then have had to spend time setting up the route, staffing the actual run, and then dismantling all the barricades and storing them. All in all, I would have liked to see the marathon go through, but in that short period of time after the hurricane, there was no way the city was going to rally.
Even though it's been about a month, there are still significantly damaged locations (parks, buildings, etc.) that need repair, though none of it was along the route that the parade takes.
Man its Hot Here
I think when it came down to it the difference between the marathon and say The Giants playing is that The Giants are a New Yorkers thing,its their where as the Marathon was seen as a rich out of towners thing. Otherwise they would have been screaming for all the food at the sports events and the generaters from the TV centers at those events to be "donated" into the affected areas.
"When I'm 63!"
The hatred and discrimination against runners must end now! The government is behind it. Wake up people!
Go back to R&R, you freakin' hippy.
Go back to R&R, you freakin' hippy.
You're just afraid that I'm gonna tell everyone the truth about how Israel and the Jewish- owned media was behind the marathon cancellation.
what an annoying thread. Oh well. Cheers everyone!

What do music therapists do?
Music therapists assess emotional well-being, physical health, social functioning, communication abilities, and cognitive skills through musical responses; design music sessions for individuals and groups based on client needs using music improvisation, receptive music listening, song writing, lyric discussion, music and imagery, music performance, and learning through music; participate in interdisciplinary treatment planning, ongoing evaluation, and follow up.
Who can benefit from music therapy?
Children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly with mental health needs, developmental and learning disabilities, Alzheimer's disease and other aging related conditions, substance abuse problems, brain injuries, physical disabilities, and acute and chronic pain, including mothers in labor.
Where do music therapists work?
Music therapists work in psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitative facilities, medical hospitals, outpatient clinics, day care treatment centers, agencies serving developmentally disabled persons, community mental health centers, drug and alcohol programs, senior centers, nursing homes, hospice programs, correctional facilities, halfway houses, schools, and private practice.
What is the history of music therapy as a health care profession?
The idea of music as a healing influence which could affect health and behavior is as least as old as the writings of Aristotle and Plato. The 20th century discipline began after World War I and World War II when community musicians of all types, both amateur and professional, went to Veterans hospitals around the country to play for the thousands of veterans suffering both physical and emotional trauma from the wars. The patients' notable physical and emotional responses to music led the doctors and nurses to request the hiring of musicians by the hospitals. It was soon evident that the hospital musicians needed some prior training before entering the facility and so the demand grew for a college curriculum. The first music therapy degree program in the world, founded at Michigan State University in 1944, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1994. The American Music Therapy Association was founded in 1998 as a union of the National Association for Music Therapy and the American Association for Music therapy.
Who is qualified to practice music therapy?
Persons who complete one of the approved college music therapy curricula (including an internship) are then eligible to sit for the national examination offered by the Certification Board for Music Therapists. Music therapists who successfully complete the independently administered examination hold the music therapist-board certified credential (MT-BC).
Is there research to support music therapy?
The American Music Therapy Association promotes a vast amount of research exploring the benefits of music as therapy through publication of the Journal of Music Therapy, Music Therapy Perspectives and other sources. A substantial body of literature exists to support the effectiveness of music therapy.
How is music therapy utilized in hospitals?
Music is used in general hospitals to: alleviate pain in conjunction with anesthesia or pain medication: elevate patients' mood and counteract depression; promote movement for physical rehabilitation; calm or sedate, often to induce sleep; counteract apprehension or fear; and lessen muscle tension for the purpose of relaxation, including the autonomic nervous system.
What are some misconceptions about music therapy?
That the client or patient has to have some particular music ability to benefit from music therapy -- they do not. That there is one particular style of music that is more therapeutic than all the rest -- this is not the case. All styles of music can be useful in effecting change in a client or patient's life. The individual's preferences, circumstances and need for treatment, and the client or patient's goals help to determine the types of music a music therapist may use.
What is the American Music Therapy Association?
The American Music Therapy Association is the largest professional association which represents over 5,000 music therapists, corporate members and related associations worldwide. Founded in 1998, its mission is the progressive development of the therapeutic use of music in rehabilitation, special education, and community settings. AMTA sets the education and clinical training standards for music therapists. Predecessors to the American Music Therapy Association included the National Association for Music Therapy founded in 1950 and the American Association for Music Therapy founded in 1971.

August 21, 2012 – High Point University, NC
(written by Robert E. Lyons, photographs by Dottie Miles)
High Point University (HPU) is a small liberal arts college not too far from Raleigh and Greensboro, North Carolina. Although I had never visited the HPU campus, I sure had no idea about its plant collections. So, when Jon Roethling, a friend and fellow plantsman, told me of the University's plans to develop their campus into a first class arboretum and garden complex, my interest was more than piqued!
Our group met Jon just inside the gated entry to HPU where he was ready to showcase all the newest developments on this rapidly growing campus. At first, it was challenging to see through the obvious avalanche of new construction, such as brand new buildings, larger than life water features, and impressive landscape structures. Yet, Jon skillfully blended them all with expert discourse related to the new and existing plant materials, all intertwined with kudos to the HPU President, Nido Qubein, and his wife for their vision.
Within Jon's 2-year tenure as a direct report to the Director of Facilities, he has overseen over 320 acres of campus property and its plants. He reviews new plant choice specifications with other HPU personnel with an eye towards diversity, uniqueness and even fragrance. No common plant palette under Jon's watch. Students, staff, and faculty will be fortunate to enjoy the likes of Edgeworthia, hardy palms, and gardenias on their way to work and class.
High Point University does not have an undergraduate program in horticulture. However, Jon wants to engage students as much as possible in the understanding of the campus plantings, as well as instill an interest and appreciation for plants, regardless of their major. I'm positive that the campus' first LEED certified building (School of Education) and designation as a Tree Campus USA will only strengthen his attempt to make an impact on all HPU students. Of course, one of Jon's biggest challenges is directly related to the audience he serves…specifically, how to actually schedule the needed planting, landscape repairs, and plant maintenance without interfering with the busy activities found anywhere, anytime, throughout HPU. Jon uses GIS to map the plant collections, he has labeled them for identification, and has integrated this information within the public information kiosks found within the student center.
At the end of the day, we contemplated all that Jon has done and agreed that High Point University would soon be a public horticulture force to be reckoned with thanks to his efforts. Well done!

During my time as a professional player in Asia, I had some experience with how both match-fixing and organised crime can infiltrate football. Witnessing it gives you a perspective of how the game can be blighted by the people attracted to its glamour.
In Singapore in the early '90s, as a young man of 20, I played in the Malaysian competition. Just a few years later, they had over 80 players jailed for match-fixing.
Walking in as a naive Aussie kid, I found an entirely unfamiliar world where players didn't necessarily play to win, or for the team, but in which numerous gambling syndicates controlled players throughout the league and paid them either to win or lose, according to the odds.
Hard to believe, until I was approached in a Singapore nightclub and casually asked by a new acquaintance, who had obviously worked to ingratiate himself into my inner circle, to provide information on team selection and pitch status prior to games for cash.
He must have thought I was a loony, because I just stared at him, trying to comprehend what he was asking. That was that. An approach was made and, when no interest - or even understanding - was shown, they moved on.
We were aware of two major syndicates which competed against each other to buy players and, at times, both paid players in the same team - one to win, the other to lose. One of the syndicates was known for using the national lottery to pay their lackeys, through the following method: the syndicate would buy a winning lottery ticket from the lucky recipient for 110¢ for every dollar. They then used the ticket to pay the cheating player, who simply cashed it in. Simple, clean and untraceable.
We knew of a player in the league who had ''won'' the lotto at least three times. He must have been the luckiest guy around, or the crookest. We also knew of players who had their legs broken after failing to throw a game or wanting out of the racket.
In Hong Kong the following year, I saw a different side of the game, the association with organised crime. There was one man who was always at training, a mate to the players and seemingly a nice guy. I noticed he had a distinctive tattoo on his arm but thought nothing of it.
Following a successful cup run, though, this gentleman invited us to the Macau casino, into his own private room. Cognac and karaoke galore, until we were all silenced by a minder as two guards brought a very scared looking fellow into the room. They were struggling to hold him as he wriggled to break free.
The room host yelled and screamed at him, before pulling out a switchblade as the guards grabbed the guy's hand and held it forward. A cut was made from his forefinger to the base of the palm, to much screaming and blood. He was then thrown out of the room.
Turned out he owed money to the host, a money lender who had his runners on the casino floor. This is what happened - the first step anyway - if payment was not forthcoming. Needless to say, while the local boys already understood who he was, my night was brought to an abrupt end and I'm happy to have never laid eyes on this gentleman again.
Singapore and Malaysia was, otherwise, a wonderful place to play for many Australian professionals, including plenty of Socceroos who, like me, thoroughly enjoyed integrating into a new culture. It provided a beautiful perspective on the people and the region that leaves a lifelong passion and empathy.
We also knew of players who had their legs broken after failing to throw a game or wanting out of the racket.
To this day, my affection for Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and other Asian football nations is undiminished, but many have a problem with gambling on football and the buying of players, referees and games. They're far from alone. Like chum in the water, cash attracts the sharks. In football there is money. Lots of it.
But there's plenty more besides. Kudos, political gravity, influence, fame, excitement, everything that is attractive to all walks of life, whether ethical or otherwise.
Talking about corruption, racism or any other of the issues we face in the world game must always be prefaced, at least in a country that has only recently fallen in love with the game, with the caveat that, as the world's most popular sport, we possess both the best and worst of mankind.
Dutchman Edgar Davids said this week football is a ''microscope to the world''. He's absolutely right. Without having travelled and experienced everything the game has to offer, and seen first-hand the incredible scale of football, this can be difficult to digest for those with a singular picture of how sport should be played. Football is played by the world and, just as in any other walk of life, the diversity reflects this.
For those of us who love the game, any stories of corruption and stains on its integrity are painful to take as even we struggle to understand why people use the game for nefarious purposes, but whether it is the cause of racism, which has been at the forefront recently, or match-fixing, the vaccine can only be administered once the wound has been opened and bled dry.

Atwitter in D.C.
News & Events
Alumnus Augusto Goncalves is plugged in. The former political science major is in to social media to such a degree that when the White House was looking for people to Tweet during the recent State of the Union Address, he was selected and invited to attend.
We asked him about the experience.
Q: How did it feel to be invited to the State of the Union address?
A: When I was informed that I would be among the 60 social media-savvy citizens who actively engage with the White House to be chosen to watch the State of the Union and live-tweet from the White House, I was in disbelief.
Q: How did this come about?
A: As someone who likes to be kept abreast of all things political, be it through print, television or social media, I found myself on the White House website, which I often frequent to gather news on the current status of different administration priorities and initiatives. On that day, I happened to stumble upon information about a State of the Union Social, an event where the White House would open its doors to the public and host a group of individuals who interact with the administration on social media. It said all were encouraged to apply. Knowing that I often engage and Tweet about politics, I figured I might as well apply.
Q: What was the application process like?
A: You had to describe, in 140 characters or less, why you wanted to participate and why you should be chosen. You also had to supply your social media information, your Twitter handle, Facebook URL, Google+ info. etc.
Q: And then?
A: Eight days before the State of the Union, I received an email from the White House which I almost deleted, figuring it to be another one of those generic emails asking for folks to donate to
the cause, party, or administration. That email read, 'Congratulations! You have been selected to attend the State of the Union White House Social.' I couldn't believe it! (But) I was indeed selected by the administration to go to the White House to listen and live-Tweet about the president's State of the Union address and participate in a panel discussion with White House officials afterward.
Q: What was it like?
A: Fast forward a week and I'm in D.Cc touring the White House, seeing old friends and meeting new ones. It seemed so surreal. I was so thrilled that I could hardly contain my excitement. When it came time to Tweet, I Tweeted about immigration, unemployment insurance, innovation, climate change, workforce development and equality among other things. I also Tweeted issues I thought the administration should have highlighted more such as mental health and trauma support services. Here are a few of my Tweets:
I believe that when women succeed, America succeeds!
Mental health mention! Something that we as a country definitely need to work on...
What does the administration plan to do to strengthen trauma support services not only for
vets, but for our children
After the address, I participated in a live panel made up of senior White House officials.
Q: Looking back, what impact did the experience have on you?
A: I felt so honored and blessed to have been selected to cover the State of the Union at the White House. It was a unique experience, combining politics and governance with a smart social media strategy, allowing for accessibility, interactivity and increase connectivity – some of the many reasons why this President's campaign was so effective and successful both in 2008 and in 2012. For me, a first generation Cape Verdean American male, who grew up in Boston and Brockton, to be able to say that I have been to the White House, worked in HUD's IGA office in D.C., in Governor Patrick's constituent services office in Boston, on a presidential campaign in Las Vegas, and at City Hall in Boston, is not only an incredible blessing, but a testament that with a good education like the great one I received from BSU, the drive to succeed, and the proper support anything is possible.

$19.99 + $6.99 (that's $26.98) gets you one of these bad boys, and for just $4.99 more (that's $31.97), you can get a second one, for your dignity.
But hey, it's made with memory foam! And the cushion is bound to the rotating disc!

IT has returned for a second year, following a 40-year gap.
Owslebury Horticultural Show was resurrected in 2013 by villagers Nigel and Jennifer White.
Lifelong villager Nigel was determined to bring back a show last held in the 1970s. What's more he wanted to make it as authentic as possible down to the canvas marquees, wooden trestle tables and green and white bunting.
He was so keen on getting the 1950s feel just right that there were cash prizes for those best dressed in that period of tweed and cotton.
Villagers responded with hundreds of entries from fruit and veg, jams and preserves, flowers, eggs and wines, beers and ciders.
The morning was busy as competitors brought their produce to the show before all leaving on the stroke of 11am as the judges took over, before the event was opened to the public at 2pm.
Saturday's event lacked the unique aspect from 2013 when show organisers Nigel and Jennifer White married just before the show before Jennifer then declared the event open.
Music was provided by New Forest Brass Band and the Winchester-based barber shop choir The Wessex Chordsmen.
There were traditional cream teas served in the tea tent.
In the evening musical entertainment was provided by the Travelling Owsleburys, Jan Lyon and Red Jackson.

Reviews forColcannon Potatoes
My Review
Average Rating
"I'm from Idaho and thought I had done and seen every thing you could do with a potato. Then I found this in Taste of Home 2003. Unbelievably delicious! I was so impressed I make it every year for St.Patty's day. If you like potatoes and cabbage you are going to love this, it's a keeper!"
"I was looking for a recipe with cabbage in it and I saw this. I have to admit, I was afraid I wouldn't like them, but they were really tasty."
"I loved this recipe. Very tasty."
"I served this with corned beef instead of boiled cabbage and potatoes. It was delicious!"
"Hi Olive! I've made this recipe before and find it can be reheated easily in the microwave. You may have to add more milk and/or butter, as whipped potatoes seem to dry out very quickly. But they will be delicious just the same. I also like to reheat and keep this dish warm in a crock pot. You can keep them warm beautifully for up to a couple of hours. Works great. Enjoy! This is a lovely recipe."
"I have MS & prepare foods in stages. Can I prepare the day before St. Pat's & warm in the oven next day?"
"Just made these for supper tonight. Cut the recipe in half, since there's just the 3 of us. But it was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD! I'm sure the leftovers won't be in the frig long! Thanks! Hoping to make these for a family dinner some time, but till then, the 1/2 recipe will be fine for us!"
"Very good Recipe! Make sure your cabbage is shredded fine and drained really good or the potatoes are a bit runny. After a day of sitting in the fridge and reheated, they were perfect."
"These were good. I served them on st paddy's day with leg of lamb and soda bread."

Ciprofloxacin tabletsPronunciation
Generic Name: ciprofloxacin (SIP-roe-FLOX-a-sin)
Brand Name: Cipro
Ciprofloxacin tablets are associated with an increased risk of tendon problems. These include pain, swelling, inflammation, and possible breakage of tendons. The risk of tendon problems is greater in patients who are older than 60 years old, patients who take corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), and in those who have received kidney, heart, or lung transplants.

Problems may occur while you take ciprofloxacin tablets or up to several months after you stop taking it.
Signs of tendon problems may include pain, soreness, redness, or swelling of a tendon or joint; bruising right after an injury in a tendon area; hearing or feeling a snap or pop in a joint or tendon area; or inability to move or bear weight on a joint or tendon area. Tell your doctor right away if you experience any of these symptoms while you take ciprofloxacin tablets or within several months after you stop taking it.

Doors' "Waiting for the Sun" shines despite shadows
Posted by kkoski on12Jul
Third album from LA-based group shoots to the top of the charts
Catchy lyrics. Bouncy keyboards. Sinewy, jagged guitar. "Hello, I Love You," the leadoff song from the Doors third album "Waiting for the Sun," had all the hallmarks of a hit single.

I've attached the December 2007 plug-in guide – which will probably be the last time it is released as a PDF. I've been watching PDF downloads drop off over the months, and see increased use of the RSS feed, del.icio.us and online browser versions. So I'm going to shift the PDF budget over to a different project.
If you think we should start the PDF version back up – let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com

From our friends at Religion and Politics, a couple of great reads.
First, historian Alison Greene takes on Mississippi, once described as "the closed society," and finds it a lot more open, and certainly more complex in its relationship of religion and politics, than commonly perceived. A little excerpt:
Why didn't pundits, politicians, and activists stop to ask how they had been so wrong about the voters in Mississippi? The answer is that when Mississippi doesn't hew to simple narratives, Americans no longer know how to talk about it. In the national imagination, Mississippi is the state of extremes: the poorest state, the fattest state, and the most conservative state. But especially when it comes to Mississippi's place as America's most religious state, there is rarely room, it seems, for a more complex narrative. The Personhood amendment's unexpected failure demonstrates that there are complicated social and political realities in Mississippi, realities that are not captured in political prediction models that assume that exceptionally high rates of church attendance and professions of faith redound to knee-jerk social conservatism in the voting booth.
Second, Judith Weisenfeld takes on the "post-racial America" myth with an analysis looking at the complex interplay of race and religion in American history:
The complex tangle of race, religion, and citizenship requires more nuanced analysis than the reductive binary that post-racial or not post-racial provides. Without question, this is a difficult cluster to disentangle—if such a thing is even possible—made so by the fact that race, religion, and national identity have been bound up together in complicated and shifting ways across American history. Religious beliefs have contributed to the production of ideas about race in American history by helping to interpret inconsequential physical differences through a moral lens and, at times, conferring divine authority on racial hierarchy. Similarly, ideas about race have contributed to evaluations of the religious possibilities and faith claims of differently racialized peoples in American history. These intertwined constructions of race and religion have developed in a context in which both contribute to ideas about American national identity and citizenship. Declarations of post-racial achievement obscure the multidimensional operations of racial thinking in American history as well as the rich spectrum of approaches that people of African descent (who most often bear the burden of "race") have taken to understanding the relationship among race, religion, and Americanness.
And finally (and unrelated to the above, but this is a grab-bag of good reading post so what the hell), I've been following a graduate student at Duke on Twitter, A. T. Coates, but somehow hadn't gotten to his blog until today. Coates writes excellent posts reflecting, in "quick hit" fashion, on new scholarship in the field, like I would do here if I was less lazy and therefore reliant on linking to good stuff written by others. (And for you graduate students, this is great oral exam preparation technique here, wish we had this stuff back in my day, but back then we barely had writing implements). Most recently, he has posted a summary and his thoughts on Matt Sutton's article on FDR and the birth of anti-statist Fundamentalism, from the Journal of American History, and on John Modern's Secularism in Antebellum America. I've linked him to our blogfavs now to remind me, and the rest of you, to check over there periodically for fresh reflections on work in American religious studies.

The German Government supports democratic change in Egypt – Tahrir-Lounge opens in Cairo
Today (7 April) the Goethe-Insitut Cairo is opening the so-called "Tahrir-Lounge" on its premises. In the heart of Cairo, a forum is available to those who played a significant role in setting the democratic change in motion for them to discuss their positions on Egypt's future. Activists of all kinds from NGOs to human rights groups to bloggers have an additional possibility to take part in Egypt's current transformation process.
The German Government is supporting the operation of the "Tahrir-Lounge" with 90,000 euro from the budgets of the Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The initial time plan for the project is one year.
The young Egyptian NGO "Center for Peace & Human Development" is coordinating the activities in the "Tahrir-Lounge". Daily working groups on topics such as human rights, constitutional reform, the economy, and the welfare state are planned. Lectures and public discussions will also be held.
On behalf of the German Government, Federal Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle and Federal Development Minister Dirk Niebel offered a partnership for transformation after the revolution in Egypt. The goal is to support the building of structures for democracy and the rule of law, strengthen civil society, and promote economic and social progress as equal partners through concrete assistance. This is also the goal of the EU Partnership for Democracy and Shared Prosperity, which owes much to the input of the German Government. The project "Tahrir-Lounge" integrates itself into this approach.

Campaign Spotlight: I've Got Your Back!
Have you heard about the awesome bystander campaign from our sister organization, Hollaback!? I know it's been out for a while, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately as I've been delving into some bystander-focused prevention work. The I've Got Your Back! campaign to promote bystander intervention offers opportunities for anyone to be an engaged citizen and do their part in ending street harassment.
I heard about this new campaign last November when I attended a workshop with Emily May, co-founder and Executive Director of Hollaback!. And I had one thought: genius! Hollaback! was already doing great work worldwide with their focus on helping individuals harness the power of social media to call out individuals who harass them on the street. By sharing their stories, these individuals shed light on the issue and also let others know that they are not alone. It's a great way to challenge cultural norms around street harassment. But they've taken it one step further. Working with Green Dot, they now offer a way to capture moments where individuals stand up to street harassment. Using the website and mobile apps (for iPhone and Droid), active bystanders can document their success stories. The campaign also offers the opportunity for people to click an "I've Got Your Back" button under the stories shared by individuals who've experience street harassment, creating a community of support for those individuals. This campaign gives everyone the chance to be an active participant in the elimination of all forms of street harassment. How exciting is that?
I would encourage you to share your story with Hollaback! And check out the great resources from the NSVRC on Engaging Bystanders in Sexual Violence Prevention. And (spoiler alert), look for a bystander resource packet from NSVRC coming out in the spring of 2013!
Good to know! I've heard about Green Dot, but didn't understand before! Thanks!
Great, Deborah! We are happy to spread the word about these great programs!

How to sew
Learning how to sew some basic stitches is an important life skill you can pass on to your children. Why not spend a quiet afternoon showing them these two simple stitches to teach them how to sew.
What you need:
- a needle and thread
- a piece of felt or fabric
There are two simple stitches that are a great starting point for how to sew. You can watch the how-to video tutorial to find out how to do a running stitch and a backstitch. Both stitches are very useful for a wide variety of craft projects for kids.
1. Running stitch
A running stitch is the most basic in-and-out even stitch. It is used for gathering, hand darning and fine seaming and tucking.
Secure the thread either with a knot or a backstitch. Bring the needle up through the fabric. Insert the needle through the fabric to make a 5mm stitch. Now come from the back through to the front, 5mm along. Make another stitch along the top of the fabric. That's it.
Notice that if you pull on the thread the fabric gathers together.
2. Backstitch
A backstitch is a very strong secure stitch that can be used at the beginning of your stitching to secure your thread instead of knot.
Stitches are even and evenly spaced along the top of the fabric. On the underside they overlap and form a chain-like look.
Begin by securing the thread. Bring the needle through to the right side of the fabric. Make a 5mm stitch from front to back. Now with your needle at the back of the fabric, bring it back through to the right side, leaving a 5mm gap along the front of the fabric.
Now stitch backwards, meet up with the end of the last stitch to form two even stitches, placed side by side.
Keep going like that. Backstitching is a good basic stitch when you're sewing along edges.
Once you've mastered these two stitches you can try making your own sock monkey here.

I like to watch Jesse Cox and Crendor. Jesse mostly because he is funny and Crendor just because he has that deep soothing voice. Don't like Totalbiscuit at all. TB is just no fun and seems to approach games and game-reviews in a manner that I do not approve of. I like the Terraria videos tough, but only because of the juxtaposition between TB and Jesse... when the cynical brit is confronted with Fujimora Pantsu hilarity ensues.
I just let the videos run in the background while doing other stuff.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the Gainesville-Hall County community and even surrounding counties for their support of the Gainesville Lions Club. You have bought our mops and brooms, donated to our White Cane project which pays for eye surgeries and you have contributed to our fundraising endeavors over the years. The community we serve is the community that supports us.
Even with America's present distractions, problems and challenges, and Republicans' utter failure on the budget standoff, Republicans cannot be counted on to behave sensibly with the next budget negotiations. There are many things, however, which favor this not happening, the major one being the proximity of next year's elections.
I believe I have written three letters to The Times over the years, one in which I tried to make the case that public schools can not do it alone and must have the support of the larger community in meeting the challenging needs and demands placed upon it.
As I survey the political landscape, I see what an unmitigated mess our country is in. I keep saying to myself this is all a terrible nightmare. Unfortunately, it is not a nightmare but reality.
President John F. Kennedy said, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
Your editorial this past Sunday was a perfect example of what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they spoke of the need for a free press in our country. We need to know when our elected officials take their election as permission to disregard their obligation to conduct the people's business in an open manner and as part of the public record.
You hear it all the time when you play Buford or Gainesville: "I just hope no one gets hurt."
U.S. Rep. Allen Grayson of Florida compared the tea party to the KKK. I don't remember hearing anything about any tea party personnel hanging or beating any black folks, burning crosses or running around in white sheets.
I am concerned about the opening of a new gun dealership very near Gainesville High School. From the door of the store to the GHS gymnasium measures about 900 feet. This new gun store is not the only gun store near GHS. If you go just a bit further down John Morrow Parkway, you will find another gun dealership.
On Oct. 17, The Times wrote that Gainesville city officials are analyzing a proposal to fund a hotel and convention center that might possibly generate some jobs and revenue.
Re: "Science used...purely political," Friday's Times: The critic of Joan King's editorial claims that the "science" in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is "purely political." The latest report from the IPCC is not complete, but parts of it may be found at Internet sources, and I took the opportunity to look over it. It's actually pretty dense with scientific reporting, and fairly dispassionate. I found nothing to merit the charge of "political ... not scientific."
The letter by W.T. Hinds in The Times on Friday cannot be permitted to stand unanswered. His inaccurate and distorted description of this year's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report is breathtaking.
From his Oct. 18 letter, W.T. Hinds' intelligence and education seem to be considerably higher but his prejudiced thinking and disdain for science are on a par with those of Rep. Paul Broun (regrettably from Georgia).
I attended the "tax the bikes" meeting Oct. 7. It was a fairly large crowd and I had to sit toward the rear of the room, so I wasn't able to hear everything being said. But there was a gentleman (I assume) not in favor of the attempt to register bicycles with a tax (or should we say a registration fee?) applied. He seemed to be making some favorable comments according to the crowd's reactions.
In December 1988, Rape Response opened its doors to offer help to survivors of sexual assault in Hall and Habersham counties. The service area now also includes Dawson, White and Lumpkin counties.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team put forth a gallant effort on Sunday afternoon at the University of Maryland's Comcast Center, but No. 5 seed Texas simply had too much and ultimately overcame the Quakers to win the NCAA Tournament first-round game, 79-61.
Penn's season ends at 22-7 overall, which ties for the program record for wins in a season. Texas, which improved to 22-11 overall, moves on to second-round game with Maryland on Tuesday night.
For almost a half, things were moving along dreamily for the Penn women, who entered Sunday's game with a program-high 12 seed. Alyssa Baron was scoring every which way. Courtney Wilson was providing an unexpected offensive punch. Defensively, the Quakers were stopping Texas at every turn – the Longhorns went more than nine minutes without a field goal.
When Baron knocked down a free throw with 4:35 left before halftime, the score was 32-17 in Penn's favor. At that point, Baron herself had outscored the team, 18-17.
Texas served notice that things would get more difficult going forward. The Longhorns outscored the Quakers, 14-6, before the break. Only two of the six Penn points came off a field goal.
Penn held the lead into the second half, but you felt momentum shifting. It was still 43-35 when Kara Bonenberger hit a layup with 17:11 to play, but Texas reeled off the next 14 points over a span of 3:36 to gain a 49-43 advantage.
Baron finally stopped the run, but she hardly stopped the bleeding -- Texas scored eight in a row to make the score 57-45 with 10:27 to go. It turned out to be the knockout blow, as Penn never got within single digits after that.
Baron ended the game with 25 points, knocking down four three-pointers, and also had five assists. Playing in her final collegiate game, Wilson scored 10 points, which was a season high and one shy of her career best. Sydney Stipanovich was plagued by foul trouble all game -- she ended up playing just 19 minutes -- finished with 14 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Bonenberger, who also struggled with foul trouble, finished Sunday's contest with seveon points, six rebounds and two steals.
For Texas, the 6-foot-7 center Imani McGee-Stafford finished the night with 20 points and 12 rebounds, going for 15 and 7 in the decisive second half. Empress Davenport had all of her 10 points in the second period, while Nekia Jones bulled her way to 14 points.
