I am a graduate of Strathclyde University and hold honorary doctorates from my alma mater, The Queen's University, Belfast and the University of Abertay, Dundee. At Strathclyde I rose through the academic ranks from assistant lecturer to Professor of Scottish History (in 1988), Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and, finally, Deputy Principal of the University from 1994 to 1998. From 1999 to 2004 I was a member of staff at Aberdeen University, being successively University Research Professor in Scottish History, Director of the AHRC Research Centre in Irish and Scottish Studies and Glucksman Research Chair of Irish and Scottish Studies. I joined Edinburgh University in January, 2006. In addition to these appointments in the UK, I hold Honorary Professorships across the Atlantic at North Carolina (USA) and Guelph (Canada). Between 1992 and 1993 I was a British Academy/Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow. Among my current and recent university and public appointments have been: • Member and Vice-Chair, RAE Assessment Panels in History, 1992 &1996 • Trustee, National Museums of Scotland, 1998-2002 • Member of Council, British Academy, 2000-2003 • Convenor, Irish-Scottish Academic Initiative, 1993-9 • Advisory Board, ESRC Devolution and Constitutional Change Programme • Research Awards Advisory Committee, Leverhulme Trust, Adviser on all History applications to the Trust, 2001-9 • Trustee, Edinburgh UNESCO World City of Literature I have won several awards, fellowships and prizes in recognition of my scholarly and research achievements including: • Senior Hume Brown Prize in Scottish History (1976) • Saltire Prize for Scottish Historical Research (1992) • Henry Duncan Prize and Lectureship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1993) • Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (elected 1992) • Fellow of the British Academy (elected 1994) • Hon Member of the Royal Irish Academy (elected 2001) • Hon Fellow, University of the West of Scotland, for services to cultural life in Scotland (2005) • Inaugural John Aitkenhead Award of the Institute of Contemporary Scotland for services to Scottish education and admission to the Academy of Merit (2006) • Royal Society of Edinburgh/Beltane Senior Prize for Excellence in Public Engagement (2012).
Over the last six years, while at Aberdeen and Edinburgh University I raised £4.5 million from research councils (primarily the AHRC), private benefaction and other external bodies for advanced research in Scottish history and Irish-Scottish Studies. In 2001 I was presented by HM the Queen with the Royal Gold Medal, Scotland's supreme academic accolade, and appointed OBE in the New Year Honours List 2005 for services to Scottish history. I am the only UK historian elected to all three national academies within the British Isles.

I am using a rfxcom LAN transceiver (receiver and tranmitter) with a HE202 dim switch.
I am however having problems with a Homeasy dim plug (HE-202) and the latest version of Domotiga.
I know the device and the rfxcom are talking fine, because I can use the rfxmitter.executable to configure the device in the AC tab, and control it on/off from there.
However, my problem in domotiga is that I don't know what value to give to the HE module; For example, if the set the device ID in rfxmitter.exe as 2031402 Unit 1 (and learning mode on the HE device) , specifying this value (2031402 or 20314021) in the DevUnit field of the HE device in Domotiga, I get the following error message: Invalid HEEU address '20314021' given!
How do I convert the device ID (such as 2031402) to a value that Domotiga can use?
Debug logs: on the domotiga (three different values attempted as you can see):
2011/11/20 12:09:57 [RFXComRX] Variable Mode => F02C
2011/11/20 12:09:57 Initialized xmitter for Handshake usage with => F033F033

Or at least test it. I'm working on the missing targets (snapshots and mirroring) already, also these two are *far* more complex than your crypto target will be. Spend a day playing with dmsetup, and make sure you really understand how to write target types. The best way to learn is to try and write a trivial target type, eg. a 'reverse' target that divides the device into chunks and then reverses their order, ie. the first logical chunk is stored in the last logical chunk of the device. This should only take you ~150 lines of code (start with dm-linear.c and modify). > And, I was just wondering, would it be theoretically possible to write a > dm target that stores data in a file, so that it replaces what the loop > device does? Or was dm not designed for this? You could write a loop target, and people have suggested this already. It's not something that I'm interested in doing however. - Joe

New fossil weighs in on primate origins
Excavations in Wyoming have yielded the partial skeleton of a 55-million-year-old primate that probably was a close relative of the ancestor of modern monkeys, apes, and people. The creature was built for hanging tightly onto tree branches, not for leaping from tree to tree, as some scientists had speculated, based on earlier fragmentary finds. Also, despite expectations, the ancient primate didn't have eyes specialized for spotting insects and other prey.

Friday's CSExtra offers the latest reporting and commentary on space related activities under way around the world. Orbcomm loses a prototype communications satellite in the otherwise successful SpaceX/Dragon re-supply mission to the International Space Station. Curiosity finds a rare Earth-like rock on Mars. Astronomers identify a planet made of diamond. How Europe's Huygens lander reached the surface of Saturn's moon Titan. Retired orbiter Endeavour to spend the weekend on the Los Angeles streets. Large asteroids zip close to the Earth this week.
1. From Spaceflightnow.com: Orbcomm loses in an otherwise successful SpaceX/Dragon resupply mission to the International Space Station. Orbcomm's prototype spacecraft re-entered the Earth's atmosphere Thursday, a casualty of an engine loss as the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket involved in the NASA contracted Commercial Resupply Services 1 mission launched Sunday night. http://www.spaceflightnow.com/falcon9/004/121011orbcomm/
A. From the Washington Examiner: NASA's use of Space Act Agreements in lieu of traditional spacecraft development contracts in the case of the SpaceX Falcon9/Dragon hardware draws criticism from the Examiner. Space Act Agreements, a feature of commercial space transportation services NASA has fostered, lack government oversight, the newspaper contends. http://washingtonexaminer.com/obama-funder-gets-insider-deal-at-nasa/article/2510466#.UHdpXBibR3I
2. From Space.com: NASA's Curiosity rover checks a Mars rock and finds similarities in its makeup to Earthly rocks formed in volcanic processes. The Mars rock resembles a kind of rock found in Hawaii. http://www.space.com/18025-mars-rover-curiosity-jake-rock-surprises.html
A. From New Scientist: A meteorite of Martian origin that fell to Earth in Morocco in 2011 yields grains of soil from the red planet, according to an assessment of the chemical composition. The rock was likely ejected from Mars about 700,000 years ago by an asteroid impact, according to researchers. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn22372-black-glass-holds-first-mars-soil-sample-on-earth.html
3. From ABC News.com: Astronomers find a planet twice the size of the Earth made of diamond. 55 Cancri circles a star 40 light years away. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/10/a-planet-made-of-diamond-twice-the-size-of-earth/
4. From The Coalition for Space Exploration: Bounce, slide and wobble: The European Space Agency provides a detailed account of how the Huygens probe landed on Saturn's moon Titan in January 2005.
5. From The Los Angeles Times: Shuttle Endeavour, ferried from Florida to Los Angeles International Airport last month, will start a two-day trip through the streets of LA on Friday as the spacecraft is towed to the California Science Center, its permanent display home.
A. From Aviation Week & Space Technology: Maps and pictures as Endeavour prepares for a two-day journey through the streets of Los Angeles to the California Science Center. Thousands of spectators are expected. http://www.aviationweek.com/Blogs.aspx?plckBlogId=Blog:04ce340e-4b63-4d23-9695-d49ab661f385&plckPostId=Blog%3a04ce340e-4b63-4d23-9695-d49ab661f385Post%3a96eeb9b8-bab6-437c-bbf5-5a1cb59083d9
6. From Space.com: An asteroid as large as a house will zip close to the Earth on Friday. 2012 TC4 was discovered earlier this month. The website explains how to watch live. http://www.space.com/18013-asteroid-near-earth-flyby-friday-2012-tc4.html
7. From Aviation Week: In an op ed, former NASA astronaut Vance Brand warns that U. S. leadership in human deep space exploration is slipping — perhaps out of our grasp. "It's approaching a tipping point," cautions Brand, who compares the U. S. position to that of China centuries ago, when the Asian power dismantled its naval fleet, then watched as Europe rose to the exploration challenge. Make Mars the exploration focus and research nuclear or plasma propulsion technologies, writes Brand. http://www.aviationweek.com/Article.aspx?id=/article-xml/AW_10_08_2012_p58-503117.xml

Organizational products retailer to relocate its store on the corner of Peachtree & Piedmont.
The Container Store is opening a new 28,000-square-foot, two-level store in Buckhead, featuring more than 10,000 organizational products.
The retailer of storage and organization products, will open its new location at the intersection of Peachtree and Wieuca Roads on Saturday, Nov. 10, according to a press release.
The Container Store opened its current Buckhead location on the northeast corner of Peachtree and Piedmont -- the retailer's very first store outside of Texas where the company is based -- in 1991.
The current store will remain open through Nov. 4 before moving into the new location, according to the release.

Any ideas or hints or tutorials or references on where to get information about making your iterator compatible with STL, as to ie, use it with std::copy or std::backward_copy?
I rely on my copy of Josuttis' The C++ Standard Library for this sort of thing.Quote:
Any ideas or hints or tutorials or references on where to get information about making your iterator compatible with STL, as to ie, use it with std::copy or std::backward_copy?
std::copy takes input iterators for the source range and an output iterator for the destination range. std::copy_backword takes bidirectional iterators for the source and destination ranges. With a string class, I would expect to have random access iterators, which are a superset of all iterator types.
From what I see, you would do something like this for a string iterator template class:
The operations to implement are pretty much anything a pointer can do. The SGI STL Guide has a list of them: random access iterator.Code:
template<typename CharacterType>
class StringIterator : public std::iterator<std::random_access_iterator_tag, CharacterType>
// ...
It's far easier to use Boost.Iterator's iterator_facade or iterator_adapter for implementing iterators.
I've got a solid base. I'm only having trouble with const_iterators and iterators, or rather interchanging between them.
As is stands out, it really seems I have to re-implement them as separate code bases since they need to return their own appropriate class. No code reuse. It sucks.
It also complicated the fact that some arguments may need to not be const for me to properly use a non-const iterator with them.
Otherwise I have to retort to casting away const, which is to be avoided at almost all costs.
CornedBeef, can you recommend me a nice book on the Boost library?Quote:
It's far easier to use Boost.Iterator's iterator_facade or iterator_adapter for implementing iterators.
No. There isn't a single book covering all of Boost. Most of Boost is not covered by any book at all.
There's a book on the Boost Graph Library, but since this library is undergoing revision, it will be soon out of date.
The book "C++ Template Metaprogramming" deals with the MPL a lot.
There's a book called "Beyond the C++ Standard Library" which deals with some important components of Boost, like the smart pointers. Most of the stuff there has been added to the C++ standard.
Beyond that, I don't know of any books. I've gained my knowledge from reading the documentation and experimenting.
Elysia, do you have a copy of "Effective STL" by Scott Meyers?
I would HIGHLY recommend that to anyone who wants to know more about STL. I haven't found it online like C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices, but it's definitely worth the money to buy it.
He talks about iterators vs const_iterators as well as reverse iterators... and how to convert between the different iterator types safely.

We have noticed that images on various pages randomly "disappear." In the CMS view, there are outlines where the images should be and on the published site there are blank spaces. If I save and publish without replacing the files, they reappear on the published site, but not within CMS. The problem is that unless I check every page every day, there's no way of knowing which images are appearing and which ones aren't. Eventually, they also reappear in CMS - sometimes a day or two later.
Has anyone else had this happen?

Online Education Lifts Pass Rates at University

Miranda Lambert Good Housekeeping Cover: Songstress Talks Family, Fame and Turkey
Miranda Lambert exudes domestic bliss on the November issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. In the accompanying article, the songstress talks about her first year-and-a-half of marriage to Blake Shelton, how success plays a part in their relationship and their holiday plans. The "Over You" singer also gets candid on learning to live with the inevitable criticism that comes with fame.
"People always look for a reason to hammer you for something, whether it's your weight or your marriage," she tells the mag. "Blake and I have reached that point, and I hate that, but we need to be thankful to be out there living our dream, playing music for a living. If I complain about being apart, I think about military families and realize I have an amazing life. I'm so grateful for the people in my life: my family, my husband, my team around me, and my friends. The rest is icing on the cake."
Speaking of being apart, since their wedding in May 2011, the pair have only spent about five months together. That added to the struggles of their first year of marriage, as did the death of Blake's father, Dick, in January, followed quickly by the death of Miranda's childhood friend, Mark Adams, and her dog, Dixie.
"Blake was in Los Angeles almost all the time," says the Texas native. "Everything kept piling up. We didn't even have all our clothes at the same house. After our anniversary came, it was like, 'All right, now we can start married life.'"
One of the best parts of that life comes during the holidays. Thanksgiving has traditionally been held at Blake's farm in Tishomingo, Okla., but this year, his wife is bringing the celebration to him.
"Blake will be in L.A. working for 'The Voice,'" she explains. "So I'll be buying pumpkins and hay bales somewhere in that crazy city and putting them on the porch."
After that's done, the singer-songwriter splits up kitchen duties for Thanksgiving with her parents and in-laws. "We're real traditional," Miranda reports. "Football, turkey, and stuffing. Blake's mom makes ham and the best baked beans ever. My dad's been deep-frying the turkey, which is sometimes wild turkey, because we hunt. I do the green bean casserole, with cream of mushroom soup and fried onions on the top, and a sweet potato casserole."

Jokinen clears waivers
Lightning center Jussi Jokinen, zero goals in 15 games, cleared waivers , and will be in the lineup tonight against the Thrashers in Atlanta. GM Brian Lawton said the team has no intention right now of sending Jokinen to the minors. He said the move to put him on waivers was a "wake-up call" to a player who has been underperforming.
"And we'll see how he responds," Lawton said.
"It's a new position for me. It's not fun," Jokinen said. "But it happens. I have to take it the right way, use it like a wake-up call. I haven't played good."
Jokinen has six goals but has just two assists in his past 15 games, and coach Rick Tocchet confirmed Jokinen's knees have been bothersome, though he did not realize how much until Jokinen took a couple days off from practice this week. Still, Lawton said he wants to see a better overall effort. Tocchet spoke of Jokinen being soft on the puck and committing numerous turnovers. he also mentioned Jokinen has had plenty of chances to snap out of the slump as his minutes have not wavered much from the 16:43 he is averaging, though he played only 11-plus minutes Thursday against the Avalanche.
"He knows he's playing bad," Tocchet said. "He's got to pick up his game. ... It comes to a point I can't keep putting him out there if he's not going to produce."
Other stuff from this morning: Mike Smith gets the start in goal. He has a 0.96 goals-against average and a .970 save percentage in his past two games yet is 0-1-1. ... Tocchet said Steven Stamkos getting just 9:15 of ice time against Colorado and fewer than two minutes in the third period was a result of a a little lack of focus on Stamkos' part and that others were playing better. "Stammer is a young guy," Tocchet said. "He has to be ready to play from the start. We need his enthusiasm. Sometimes he's a slow starter. he even mentioned to me he's waiting to see how the game is going to dictate. We need him to be dictating the play." ... Nothing certain but it appears right wing Evgeny Artyukhin will be scratched for the second straight game. ... Center Jeff Halpern said he had no ill effects from his first game of the season in which he played 17:36. "Not with my knee," Halpern said. "Just body soreness." ... Defenseman Andrej Meszaros said he did not mind losing the A as an alternate captain to Halpern. "Not at all," he said. "I understood. I'm still a young guy and Halpy is very experienced.It was an honor for me to have it, but it was obvious they were going to give it to an older guy. Maybe in the future."

Is this the Big Rock Candy Mountain that the late Burl Ives made famous in the 1950s? Nahhh, but it should be.
The one Burl sang about is located in central Utah. According to the Utah Geological Survey, the folks living around Marysvale stuck a sign in front of a mountainside with decided volcanic origins. And indeed that mountain is somewhat colorful, with shades of red, yellow, umber and white.
But it certainly pales against this rainbow of rock found along Artists Palette in Death Valley National Park. Anchored into the Black Mountains, the reds, blues, turquoises, yellows, bluffs and other hues the sun coaxes out of the mountainside were born from various metals in the rock.

Fantasy Midseason Rankings: Outfield
Continuing my series of rankings updates, it's time to look back at my preseason outfield rankings and update them for the rest of the season. Keep in mind that this is a list of who I think will be the best outfielders for the rest of the season, not who I think have been the best outfielders so far this season. (Preseason ranking in parentheses.)
1. Vlad Guerrero, Angels (4): Guerrero's first half of the season has alleviated any concern you could have had about him. His back hasn't been a problem (he's on pace for 160 games), he's hitting as well as he used to in Montreal (and as well as almost anybody else in the AL) and he hasn't completely stopped stealing bases.
2. Albert Pujols, Cardinals (1): How great must a player be if he's hitting .304 with 22 home runs, 72 runs and 60 RBIs in his first 83 games and you think to yourself, "He should do better the rest of the season?"
3. Carlos Beltran, Astros (2): If you drafted him looking to help your team in every category, you can't be disappointed. He's on pace for 39 homers, 28 steals, 116 runs and 119 RBIs. The only place in which he's not approaching expectations is with his .276 batting average, and that should go up at least a little.
4. Manny Ramirez, Red Sox (6): He's simply the best offensive machine in the AL. The only thing that prevents him from being a more valuable fantasy player is that he doesn't steal any bases. He does everything else you could want from a hitter though.
5. Bobby Abreu, Phillies (12): Abreu was a top-15 fantasy outfielder last year because he hit .300 and had a 20-20 season while totaling 200 combined runs and RBIs. This year, he's hitting .306 and he's already just two home runs and a steal away from his sixth consecutive 20-20 season. He also already has 131 combined runs (71) and RBIs (60).
He'll probably slow down at least a little bit, but he's definitely having his best year yet at the age of 30. He's got a chance to set career highs in every offensive category besides batting average and triples.
6. Barry Bonds, Giants (3): All the walks make him more valuable to the Giants than he could ever be if teams pitched to him normally, but they also make him less valuable to a fantasy team than he should be by decreasing his RBI opportunities and limiting how much his league-leading batting average impacts your team.
7. Magglio Ordonez, White Sox (5): He's hit when he's been healthy this year and he's healthy right now, so there's no reason not to expect him to hit well the rest of the year. I'd guess a .310-.315 average, 15-18 homers, 40-45 runs and 50-60 RBIs the rest of the way.
8. Gary Sheffield, Yankees (7): Sheffield's on pace to meet all of my preseason expectations but one. After reaching double digits in steals 10 of the last 11 seasons, Sheffield has just one theft so far this year. Even if he's stopped stealing, however, he's good enough with the bat to be a top 10 outfielder from here on out.
9. Sammy Sosa, Cubs (13): Sosa would be right on pace to provide the .280 average, 40-45 homers, 105-110 runs and 115-120 RBIs I predicted if he hadn't gotten hurt. He's healthy again now and he's getting his timing back nicely if his four homers in 35 at-bats in July are any indication. Expect him to produce like the Sosa you know and love the rest of the way.
10. Johnny Damon, Red Sox (28): While Damon's in the midst of the second-best fantasy season of his career, he's also on pace to steal his fewest bases since 1997. Still, he's in the top 10 in the AL in both steals and batting average and trails only Guerrero in runs. He's also hit 10 homers and is on pace to drive in 87 runs from the leadoff spot.
He'll likely decline somewhat, but even that could possibly be overcome if he regains his aggressiveness on the basepaths.
11. J.D. Drew, Braves (NR): I can't believe I'm putting him here, but Drew's problem has always been staying in the lineup, not producing while he's there. He's still only on pace for 145 games, but he's also on pace to set career highs in home runs (39), runs (121) and RBIs (102).
It's not like these are unrealistic numbers for him, either. He hit .323 with 27 homers, 80 runs and 73 RBIs in a 2001 season that was shortened to 109 games by injury. Had he played 145 games that year and maintained that pace, he would have finished with 36 homers, 106 runs and 97 RBIs.
12. Matt Lawton, Indians (NR): Another player whose large assortment of injuries has overshadowed the fact that he's generally performed well when he's been healthy. He's hitting .305 with 15 homers, 16 steals, 68 runs and 49 RBIs. I don't think he can quite keep up this pace, but I could see him finishing with a .300 average, 25 homers, 25 steals, 115 runs and 85 RBIs.
13. Miguel Cabrera, Marlins (49): I was dead wrong about Cabrera. I thought it would take him some time to turn into a star hitter, especially since he wasn't quite as good as everybody seemed to think last year, but he's matured very quickly.
He's hitting .295 with 20 homers, 59 runs and 59 RBIs, and I can't believe he's only 21 years old. I still expect him to slow down a little and maybe finish the year hitting .285 with 32 homers, 95 runs and 100 RBIs.
14. Garret Anderson, Angels (16): His bat has been fine when he's been in the lineup this year, so he should have no problem producing at his expected rates for the rest of the year.
15. Carl Crawford, Devil Rays (29): He's on pace to improve upon last year's numbers in just about every single offensive category. He may hit a slump somewhere in the second half, but he's still going to lead the majors in steals and I don't see his batting average falling below last year's .281 mark.
16. Lance Berkman, Astros (8): He's having a great season offensively, but a disappointing fantasy season. He should improve upon his home run, run and RBI numbers and then he'll be right where you would expect him to be.
17. Brian Giles, Padres (11): He's been hurt by San Diego's new park (.515 SLG at home, .454 on the road), but I still think he can reach 30 homers this season and provide close to as much offense as people expected of him before the season.
18. Hideki Matsui, Yankees (38): Apparently, he just needed a year to adjust. He's actually only on pace for seven more extra-base hits this season, but the distribution is a little more along the lines of what people expected. After hitting 42 doubles and 16 homers (with one triple) last year, he's on pace for 28 doubles and 32 homers (with four triples) this year. That makes for a much nicer fantasy season.
19. Adam Dunn, Reds (43): Dunn grabbed everybody's attention as a rookie in 2001 when he smacked 19 homers in 66 games. Nobody noticed that he only hit .262, because he's one of those players who can have a great offensive season with that kind of average. He's hitting .263 this year, but he already has 25 homers, 56 runs and 53 RBIs. It's taken longer than some people expected, but there's a real chance we could finally see Dunn hit 50 home runs.
20. Jose Guillen, Angels (NR): So, I guess last year's performance with Cincinnati wasn't a complete fluke. He's not the .337 hitter he pretended to be for 91 games, but I guess he is capable of hitting around .300 with good power. In Anaheim's lineup, doing that will allow you to score a lot of runs and drive in a lot of runs.
21. Melvin Mora, Orioles (NR): He should have been seventh on my third base ranking, but I forgot about him, so he goes here. I still don't think he's really this good, but he's definitely shown over the last two seasons that he's somehow turned into a very good hitter.
22. Jim Edmonds, Cardinals (27): With Pujols and Scott Rolen around, Edmonds is almost a forgotten man in St. Louis' offense, but he's hitting .284 with 21 homers, 52 runs and 56 RBIs. He hit 39 homers last year and he's on pace to do so again this year, but with better marks in every other category.
23. Scott Podsednik, Brewers (23): His batting average has fallen off precipitously from his rookie season, but he's on pace to double his home run total and improve his stolen base total by 50 percent. He was good last year and he's been good this year, just in slightly different ways.
24. Jeromy Burnitz, Rockies (44): Ah, the magic of Coors Field. Not only is Burnitz hitting for the best average of his career, but he's also on pace for his best home run and RBI totals since 1998. As long as he doesn't get traded, he's a top option the rest of the way.
25. Richard Hidalgo, Mets (22): I never would have thought he'd make this list a month ago, but he's been rejuvenated (again) since his trade to the Mets. He was hitting .256 with four homers, 21 runs and 30 RBIs in 58 games before the trade, and he's hitting .314 with eight homers, 16 runs and 16 RBIs in 22 games since.
Fell from top 25
Preston Wilson, Rockies (9): Has been hurt most of the season and hasn't been himself even when he's been able to play. His home park gives him a chance to turn his season around, but you certainly can't count on him at this point.
Vernon Wells, Blue Jays (10): He's played well enough when he's been healthy, but he's likely to be out for another three or four weeks. That pretty much kills his chances of being one of the top 25 outfielders from here on out.
Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners (14): He's doing just fine with a .321 average and 21 steals, but the declining production all around him in Seattle's lineup has him on pace for just 85 runs, which would be his first season with fewer than 110. He's also tended to decline in the second half, and that's certainly not a point in his favor here.
Chipper Jones, Braves (15): Just baffling. He's only 32 years old, so he shouldn't be falling apart like this after six straight seasons with a batting average above .300.
Aubrey Huff, Devil Rays (17): I expect him to be better for the rest of the season than he has been so far this season, but his stock has still taken a hit with his performance thus far.
Juan Pierre, Marlins (18): He's on pace to score 15 fewer runs and steal 25 fewer bases than he did last year. Since those are the two biggest aspects of his game, that's obviously a bad sign.
Andruw Jones, Braves (19): If you pulled the worst total in each of the five categories from Jones' last five seasons (.251 average in 2001, 26 homers in 1999, four steals in 2003, 91 runs in 2002 and 84 RBIs in 1999), you'd have approximately what he's on pace to do this season (.250 average, 28 homers, four steals, 89 runs and 95 RBIs).
Luis Gonzalez, Diamondbacks (20): Once again, he's been OK, but his teammates are killing him. He's hitting .270 with 15 home runs, but he's on pace for just 78 RBIs. There's also the lingering potential of a season-ending injury hanging over him at all times.
Shawn Green, Dodgers (21): I don't know how it could be possible, but it's starting to look like he's just done at age 31. The contrast between his 2001-2002 seasons and his 2003-2004 seasons is just staggering.
Rocco Baldelli, Devil Rays (24): His performance thus far has been decent in four categories (.289 average, seven homers, eight steals, 48 runs), but 36 RBIs isn't nearly good enough for somebody who doesn't excel at any category. I still think he'll become an excellent fantasy player in time, just not this year.
Torii Hunter, Twins (25): I thought he'd bounce back from a disappointing season, but he's actually regressed even more in every category except batting average and steals.

Palestinian, Israeli presidents meet; Abbas condemns Jerusalem attack
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned Tuesday's bulldozer attack in central Jerusalem, which occurred during his historic meeting with Israel's President Shimon Peres in the Israeli President's Residence.
Peres and Abbas were notified of the attack by the Israeli president's military secretary. Upon hearing the news, Abbas conveyed the event was saddening and unfortunate. "I condemn the attack and as always I wholeheartedly oppose all acts of terror," Abbas said. "I wish to send wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured."
Abbas became the first Palestinian leader ever to be allowed into Israel's presidential residence. Peres welcomed Abbas in a formal ceremony. Peres said, "Israelis have a burning desire to reach peace with the Palestinians."
The two leaders also called for the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit who was captured during June 2006 by Palestinian fighters from the Gaza Strip. "He must be released in exchange for other prisoners. This is the only way we can reach a solution," Abbas said, according to DPA.

American POWs In The Soviet Gulag...
Date: Sat.* 6 Mar 1999 13:23:08 EST
From: Chip Beck
To: (deleted)
Dear (deleted)
I read your comments regarding the POWs and MIAs, your feelings that no one was left behind, your belief that Joe Schlatter has all the right answers, and the dissenting reply by Dave Murray.* Although I don't have a web site, I have written on the topic of the POW mysteries and listed my challenges to what is being said and done by the government.* I do this, not as an outsider, but from my former position as an insider.
Your assumptions are incorrect, because your basic information is false and manipulated by intelligence services and bureaucrats from both sides of the old Superpower rivalry - a rivalry which is not dead, but is merely changing form for the conflicts that will arise in the next century.
From 1970-1993, I served in the Clandestine Service with a Special Operations and paramilitary specialty.* I served 5 years in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.* I also retired as a Navy Commander with 33 years Reserve and 8 years active time.* After retiring from the CIA, I went back on active duty for 3 years, where my last assignment was as a Special POW investigator for the Joint Commission Support Directorate, part of DPMO.
After testifying twice before the Dornan Subcommittee 17 SEP and 1 OCT 1996 that the American public was not being told the truth about 9000 "Unrepatriated POWs" who were exploited by the Soviets from 1918 through 1975, I completed my last tour of active duty and retired.* I had volunteered to continue as a POW investigator, and my supervisor Norm Kass fought for me to be hired as a civilian, but by that time I had already challenged the system, and my 8 hours of closed session testimony - in which specifics that the American public has a right to know were discussed in unclassified form -- my fate was sealed.
I encountered actual sabotage of JCSD POW operations within DPMO, and documented the details for the Dornan Subcommittee testimony.* I was backed by Norm Kass, Al Graham, Joe Douglass and another man during the testimony.* Even General Wold, then Director of DPMO, did not dispute the facts.
As a Clandestine Service officer, I know about things that happened in the Cold War that Joe Schlatter and his ilk never confronted.* When that experience was about to be put into action as part of the investigations, and contacts were being made with "old friends" who used to be on the "other side" of the Berlin Wall.* Norm Kass and I intercepted a memo within DPMO that revealed that a "Special Initiative" we had planned and had approved by Wold was leaked to other Directorate Chiefs and the "Old Guard" who vowed in the memo that our "operations would never see the light of day."
Why?* Because you, the families, and the public are not being told the truth.* And that fact would be embarrassing, not just to this Administration, but to several generations of bureaucrats. To be honest, I do not know that any POW is still alive today. I do know that many were alive at various times in history after the conflicts ended, and that a total of 9000 American POWs, a conservative estimate, were transferred into the Soviet Gulag as part of a long-term, covert Soviet intelligence exploitation program that was conducted by the Bolsheviks, the MVD, the MKVD, the KGB and GRU from 1918 through at least 1975 and possibly 1979 - 1980.* The program continued to be protected and concealed by Soviet intelligence after the end of the Vietnam War, and whatever American POWs were transferred to the USSR prior to the fall of Saigon, or afterwards, met whatever fate time handed them.
The Russian SVR, which was not purged of its communists nor its intelligence apparatus and personnel after the so-called "fall of communism" in 1992, continues to conceal the POW Exploitation Programs as an operational intelligence necessity.* The probability that the Russians will require similar programs and resources in the coming conflicts of the 21st century has not escaped them.
Since departing JCSD and DPMO, I have continued to follow the leads that were thwarted when I was with the government.* In the past year I have traveled to East Berlin and twice to Cuba, where former and current military and intelligence officers have confirmed to me, and provided some documentation to support their stories that what DPMO was saying about several Communist Intelligence Operations not existing were a "lie."
As for Joe Schlatter, I never met the man.* He retired from DPMO in late 1994, and I did not start work there until May 1995.* Yet he still insists to people that I worked under him, that he knew me,* and that he wrote my last fitness report (a good trick since my last fitness report was written two years after he Retired.)* If he can be so wrong about those simple realities, and if he insists on continuing to lie about them even after documentation has been presented to prove him either a nut or a liar, how can you believe the man when he is protecting his own misconduct and malfeasance in office?
As for men being held back, I personally know two men who were captured and still in prison after Saigon fell.* One came back in Dec 75 after secret Negotiations then died in the Beirut bombings in 1983.* Another was tortured to death in August 1976, and his remains quietly returned years later. Several men were captured in Laos in 1970-1973 and did not return at Homecoming.* Some of the leads that I was following as part of the Special Initiative dealt with the reports that just under 200 American POWs were held back until 1976, when a Politburo decision eliminated them from the face of the earth.
Americans were taken to the Soviet Gulag beginning in 1918-1920 when an estimated minimum of 43 men, and possibly as many as 200 POWs were taken from the combat fronts of the North Russian and Siberian Allied Expeditionary Forces.* President Wilson did not protest (probably was not even aware)and the Bolsheviks learned they could get away with kidnapping our Soldiers.
In the Depression years, American agents were detained and thrown into prison, without the U.S. government protesting, because of its own operational secrecy and deniability.* After 6 years of captivity, one of these men escaped and walked 4000 miles to freedom in an incredible escape of all time. Last year, I talked to the only known survivor (now 83) of that escape in Europe.
After World War II, Stalin kept 7000 American POWs taken from the German Stalags, and put them in the Gulags as revenge for the Allies not returning all of the 1 million Russians who fought for Hitler against him, and for not returning all the millions of refugees who had fled communism in the 1930s and 1940s to the west.* U.S. Army documents of 1945 merely switched the POWs over the MIA column of accountability to hide what happened.
In Korea, knowing that the U.S. had a habit of not protesting the retention of its POWs, and in keeping with a Soviet training doctrine promulgated in 1949 to the Chinese, North Koreans, and the Viet Minh, 2000 American POWs from Korea and an estimated 5000 French Foreign Legionnaires (non-French) were transferred to Siberia and other parts of the USSR.
Major General Jan Sejna, who defected to the west in 1968, and at whose Death Bedside I was at in August 1997, was an eye-witness to the transfer of 200 American POWs from Korea to Moscow via Prague.* The underground railway continued, with lesser numbers, into the Vietnam War.* On his deathbed, Sejna swore to me that he was telling the truth about what he saw.
GRU Colonel Stan Lunev, revealed to me in 1995 that he had talked about the transfer of American POWs from Vietnam to Kazakstan when he defected in 1992.* That information, obtained and disseminated by the FBI in a debriefing report to the DIA, was suppressed by the DIA POW office.* When I resurfaced the information, the same officer who squelched it before, Chuck Trowbridge, attempted to do so again.* Lunev has now published a book in which the information is repeated.
There is a very logic, and methodical way in which the Bolsheviks, the Communists, and now the Russians have approached the clandestine operations that exploited several generations of Unrepatriated American POWs, along with other foreign POWs and millions of Russians.
As to why the Russians have not admitted the operations, it goes to the heart of who they are as a political nation, and what they see as in their own interests not to reveal.* As for the U.S. role, LTCOL Phil Corso, former POW Special Projects Officer under Eisenhower, said it best when I debriefed him in July 1996.
"When you expose what the Soviets did to our men, you will have to expose the U.S. Policies that allowed it to happen.* When you begin to do that, you will be met with diversion and paralysis.* They will divert your attention and paralysis your efforts."
The only way to find the truth is to separate JCSD from DPMO, and establish an investigative office under Norm Kass that is exclusively aimed at uncovering the truth about America's Unrepatriated POWs.* Let CILHI and JTF-FA continue the search for MIAs, which both the American and Communist sides equate to battlefield deaths.
Remember, even if there are no more live POWs left anywhere in the world, we still owe it to them to determine their fate and the truth about the programs that did keep them alive for many years, whatever their final outcome.* Remember too, that when a POW died, he did not become an MIA as you are being lulled into thinking.* He became a dead POW, and that, my friend, is a hell of a difference from being an 'MIA.'

Lifestyle, pop culture drive dog breed popularity
American Kennel Club data released last week. Labrador retrievers are widely used as search and rescue, guide, therapy and service dogs, and they're also perfect for active, outdoors-loving families with children, said club spokeswoman Lisa Peterson.Labrador retrievers (22 times), cocker spaniels (23) and poodles (22) have been the most popular purebred dog breeds in the United States for 67 of the 128 years the AKC has been counting. The data from the AKC, the country's only nonprofit dog registry, comes from paid registrations by breeders and owners of purebred dogs, and makes the dog eligible for AKC events such as dog shows. More than 40 million purebred dogs have been registered since 1884, Peterson said.Some critics, like the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United States, argue that owners mistake club registration as a sign of responsible breeding. "Registry with the AKC simply indicates that a dog had two parents of the same breed," said Cori Menkin, senior director of ASPCA's Puppy Mills Campaign. The AKC acknowledged that registration does not guarantee the quality or health of a dog.However, Peterson condemned those who increase breeding to meet public demand, saying "responsible breeders do not produce more dogs just to meet popular demand."Factors including Hollywood, pop culture and the economy help drive changes in breed popularity. For instance, the yellow Lab featured in the best-selling memoir and the subsequent movie "Marley & Me," helped the breed's popularity skyrocket, Peterson said.Likewise, the popularity of other breeds has soared thanks to the beagle Snoopy in Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" comics, "Lassie" for collies, and cocker spaniels from "Lady and the Tramp." Snoopy has been one of the biggest influences, Peterson said, and is the only nondog to be issued an AKC registration certificate.But "the No. 1 thing that drives changes in dog popularity is people's lifestyles," Peterson said. In New York City last year, larger breeds such as the Labrador retriever and German shepherd jumped over the smaller Yorkshire terrier. Peterson attributed the jump to the economic recovery, saying "people are going back to larger dogs."The shorthaired dogs are easier to groom, walk and exercise than the smaller, more time-intensive dogs, she said. She believes smaller dogs became popular during the recession because the trend started in the 1990s.Another popular breed, the cocker spaniel, has owners coming back for its friendliness. Carol Bryant, a blogger from Forty Fort, Pa., travels frequently and uses her cocker spaniel Dexter as a networking tool. Dexter is so good he has his own business cards, she said. Of the breeds that made most gains in popularity, the most noticeable has been the bulldog, said Peterson. It has inched up the last five years, most recently to No. 5 nationally in 2012, she said.She attributed some of that to "great visibility. It's the mascot for the U.S. Marines. Think of all the colleges that have bulldog mascots. The Mack truck has a bulldog on the hood. And Tillman and Beefy are real bulldogs who skateboard."Celebrities such as Brad Pitt, rapper Ice-T and athletes Michael Phelps and Sean White, have bulldogs, she added, which could partly explain why the breed is No. 1 in celebrity-driven Los Angeles and Las Vegas.Bulldogs "have such great temperaments, they are adorable puppies, they are sturdy and compact, and they have the wrinkles and the eyes. They don't require a lot of grooming or exercise and they love to stay in the house and be with you. Or if you like the outdoors, they love that too," Peterson said.The small, sturdy breed also is compatible with owners of all ages, she added, making it ideal for multigenerational families. That comes in handy as the economy forces more adult children to return home. But when it comes to America's top dog for the past 20 years, practicality beats being fashionable. The Labrador retriever's intelligence earns high marks among owners who sought out the breed.VanFossan, who lost sight in both eyes by age 22, has owned two Labs. He tried using a cane for six awkward months, then got a guide dog -- a Lab named Gilly. Their time together became a book in January -- "Through Gilly's Eyes: Memoirs of a Guide Dog" -- and his second dog is Achilles."Achilles is a little more sensitive but is better at remembering. It's incredible. I can go to a new place just once or twice, and he'll have the route memorized. Sensitivity has its advantages," VanFossan said.Linda Markley, a mother of three in Los Angeles, returned to the breed after her first Lab -- a shelter find -- died. When the rescues turned up none, she went to a breeder to buy Riley.Markley said she loves Riley for dozens of reasons, but is most impressed with her memory for human vocabulary and street smarts. She knows such words as "keys," "shoes," "park" and "shake" and can understand phrases such as "go to Ryan's room," "go to Jack's house" and "let's go for a hike," the proud owner said.And Markley has no doubt that Riley understands what she's saying: "She loves sticks, so she doesn't chase balls or swim in the pool. If you say, 'Do you want to go in the water?' she will run the other way."Top 10 dog breeds1. Labrador retriever2. German shepherd3. Golden retriever4. Beagle5. Bulldog6. Yorkshire terrier7. Boxer8.

Becoming Rich Famous and Happy
Hey just released the 67 steps to finding health, wealth, love, and happiness.
What would be the fastest way to get there?
Well if for the last 10 years you had been reading 1 book a week what would be different in your life right now?
4 books a month, 50 books a year, 500 books in a decade…
Imagine the knowledge of those 500 books embedded deep within your brain.
You would be a genius. You could not even help but become rich, famous, healthy, and happy.
But something is wrong with the world today. This simple solution isn't the mainstream mentality. I always tell my coaching students, "All the knowledge in the world at our fingertips and we know less than my grandpa did."
We have Google, ebooks, Facebook, audio books, Kindles and Nooks but it seems like no one is really getting smarter.
But even with all this technology I still prefer good old fashioned books.
Here is why books work. It goes beyond just the simple knowledge they impart.
Books operate with a deeper, more powerful 'mechanism'. Think of it this way. If I said to you, "Hey would you like to spend 1 hour a day for the next year being mentored by the worlds' top billionaires, celebrities, authors, fitness trainers, professors, and world leaders?"
Your answer would be "of course".
That's precisely what books do. They give you direct access to the mentors you would never be able to meet in real life. Because most of the people worth listening to are either busy or already dead.
Success comes through osmosis. It rubs off on you. Change who you spend time around and you will change your life. Books are the easiest way to spend time around high caliber mentors.
There is no faster way to transform your life than to simply read more. No one, no matter how high their IQ, knows it all. The body of knowledge in the world is simply to vast to learn alone. Learning through trial and error is a fools game.
As Warren Buffet says, "It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes."
That is what books do for you. They cut the learning curve by years, even decades.
Reading is the habit of billionaires. Never forget that.

I just moved from a rented condo unit where I lived for 10 years into another condo rental in a different complex. The environment in the previous unit, which was on the first floor directly over the garage, was excellent. This new unit seems to have a faintly unpleasant musty odor. Turning on the electric baseboard heat helps some, but the baseboards themselves give off a kind of "steamy" odor like I remember from some old apartments with radiators. The unit I moved from also had electric baseboard heat but no odors whatsoever. This new unit is on the third floor and gets the afternoon sun and so gets quite warm in the afternoon, but if anything that seems to make the "musty" odor worse, until I throw open the windows and ventilate the unit. Any ideas or suggestions on the odor situation?

The Minnesota School Boards Association has set Feb. 18-22 as School Board Recognition Week in Minnesota as a time to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society.
Cambridge-Isanti ISD #911 is joining all public school districts across the state to celebrate School Board Recognition Week to honor local board members for their commitment to Cambridge-Isanti and its children.
"It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these men and women devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn at a higher level," Superintendent Bruce Novak said. "They make the tough decisions every month and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of accountability our citizens expect."
Novak said the key work of school boards is to raise student achievement by:
• Creating a vision for what the community wants the school district to be and for making student achievement the top priority;
• Establishing standards for what students will be expected to learn and be able to do;
• Ensuring progress is measured to be sure the district's goals are achieved and students are learning at expected levels;
• Being accountable for their decisions and actions by continually tracking and reporting results;
• Creating a safe, orderly climate where students can learn and teachers can teach;
• Forming partnerships with others in the community to solve common problems; and
• Focusing attention on the need for continuous improvement by questioning, refining and revising issues related to student achievement.
"School board members give the Cambridge-Isanti citizens a voice in education decision making," Novak said. "Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in February, their contribution is a year-round commitment."
The members serving the district and their years of service are as follows:
Gary Hawkins – 4 Years
Tim Hitchings – 2 Years
Jenni Caulk – 2 Years
Lynn Wedlund – 2 Years
Mark Becker – 2 Years
Darcy Winsor – Newly Elected – 01/01/2013
Heidi Sprandel – Newly Elected – 01/01/2013

The chemistry of was off the charts on this one. If Randy Dixon could call up his fairy god faggot, and have him produce his favorite dick, Judas' would instantly appear. Randy likes them cut and thick and long. And Judas has got some fucking girth to his cock. These two are so into each other that they want to try everything. They take turns sucking each other off. Randy cannot get enough of this hot beefy hairy chested stud that is so hard for him. We had to stop for a minute. Randy told me that he was feeling overwhelmed and nervous by how into Judas he was. Judas just held him in his arms and made him relax. And as soon as Judas started to lick Randy's hole, all became clear. Randy was dying to get fucked raw by that big cock. And after Randy got his hole pounded, he turned around and fucked Judas doggy style. Next Randy sat on Judas until he felt Judas cum inside of him. Then he popped off and unloaded right into Judas' mouth. Be sure to watch the hot free gay porn trailer of the bareback action right here at Randy Blue.

Your Weapons Grow From The Enemies They Feed On In Rogues Like Us
The hero of hack n' slash game Rogues Like Us has been banished, and his only means of finding redemption is to find a source of power buried deep within the game's procedurally-generated dungeons. As he progresses, the enemies he strikes down will feed the power of his weapons, though.
The player's weapons "progress and grow in power by feeding off the enemies you slay in combat." As to whether this simply means the player gets stronger with weapons they use frequently or if the specific enemies a player kills with a set weapon has an effect on weapon growth, the developer does not say.
Players will be able to discover story elements within the dungeons, learning more about the lands and your clan, as well as find blueprints for new armor and lost, dormant weapons.
Rogues Like Us is set to release this Fall.

Stefan Wilson, brother of Justin Wilson, at the Indianapolis 500 Media Day 2016, held this past Thursday. I had a chance to interview him and eavesdrop on another interviewer's questions.
Justin Wilson was my favorite IndyCar driver, and was always fun to interview. He was the first driver I ever interviewed at the Indy 500, and he was such a gentleman. He was patient, answered my questions, and had a nice conversation with me. He died on August 23, 2015 during the race at Pocono. During the interview, Stefan got to talk about his experiences at the track and what it was like to grow up watching Justin race.

Boys lacrosse: One-goal games go other way
The way head coach Paul Sorensen sees it, his Farmington boys lacrosse team could easily be 7-0.
All four of the Tigers' losses have come by one goal, including both of last week's setbacks. Holy Angels Avenged a one-goal loss a week earlier with an 8-7 triumph over the Tigers last Tuesday at Tiger Stadium, and Hastings defended its home field with a 7-6 win Friday night.
"Both games were there for the taking, but we just came up short both times," Sorensen said. "Attention to detail in close ball games relies on focus on the small things. Again we were hit by the penalty bug."
The Tigers fell behind 7-3 by halftime against Holy Angels before upping the defensive pressure in the second half. Unfortunately, the Stars' lone second-half goal was just enough to give them the victory.
"We focused on team defense in the second half and put the screws on them. We almost came all the way back," Sorensen said.
Mitch Hilton, Michael Thompson, Brendan Berg, Chris Fitzgibbons, Dan Block, Alex Schrafft and Garrett Gunderson each scored goals for the balanced Tigers. Corey Rudrud and Jake Bauman each had two assists.
Goaltender Matt Heinzerling stopped 12 Stars shots over 48 minutes.
Thompson won 10 of 15 face-offs.
Friday's game at Hastings played out in a similar fashion. The Raiders led 3-0 after a quarter before the Tigers charged back to tie the game at 4-4 by halftime. It was still 5-5 heading into the fourth.
"We told the guys it doesn't matter who we are playing, you can't continue to spot them sizeable lead and expect to come back," Sorensen said.
Bauman and Kevin Clifton each scored twice for the visitors. Rudrud and Berg each tacked on single goals.
Bauman and Berg each added a pair of assists and Caleb Hakala had one.
Heinzerling stopped nine shots.
The Tigers hosted Rochester John Marshall for their Senior Night Tuesday and are back on the road tonight at Owatonna. They host home games with St. Cloud Tech and Rochester Mayo on Monday and Tuesday.
"Every test from here on out is tough, but winnable," Sorensen said.

Apple Jelly Recipe by Recipes Expert: An apple cinnamon jelly recipe easy to make apple jelly
crab apples
Put stemmed, cleaned crab apples in a big saucepan and cover with water. Simmer. Boil at a low temperature for almost 2 hours or until soft. Crush with a potato masher.
Put batter in fine cheese cloth bag and let it sap extra water. Do not pinch bag as it will cloud the jelly.
Put 1 cup of brown sugar in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and thaw at an average temperature until it goes runny. Once it is melted cautiously include crab apple juice a small amount at a time until the thawed caramelized sugar is well blended with juice. Include leftovers of crab apple juice. Include 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract.
10 cups apple juice = 6-7 cups sugar depending how sweet you want the jelly to be.
Boil batter and sugar for 35 minutes.
Skim the last crab apple jelly. Fill jars while hot.
Seal with paraffin wax. Cover with lid, tightly.
Jelly has an exceptional flavor, reminiscent of caramel baked apples.

Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:40:32 GMT —
GAFFNEY, S.C. (AP) -- Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler says a change in state law means his office investigated an average of one death a day in 2012.
Fowler says his office investigated 365 deaths last year, up 29 percent from 2011. Fowler says much of the increase is because of a new state law requiring coroners to investigate when hospital patients die within 24 hours of being admitted or within 48 hours of major surgery.
Fowler says his office investigated four homicides, 23 accidental deaths and 13 suicides in 2012. Deaths in all of those categories were lower than last year.
The coroner says five deaths last year still haven't been classified because his office is awaiting test results and other information.
