JERUSALEM (Jun. 16)
In the face of general Arab opposition in Palestine to partition of the country with the Jews, the followers of Ragheb Bey Nashashibi, former Mayor of Jerusalem, were reported today by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz to be increasing their agitation for partition.
Meetings in Bethlehem, called by the prominent Arab leader Isaac Bendak, have been adopting resolutions supporting Emir Abdullah, ruler of Transjordan, for king of a Palestinian Arab State, the paper reports.
High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope will leave for London tomorrow and return to Palestine early in July, it was officially announced today.
It was rumored that the High Commissioner's trip to London had some connection with the final shaping of the report of the Royal Commission on Palestine. The Palestine Post states that he will probably bring the commission's report and a statement of English Government policy when he returns.

Recently Juniper has helped kick off and drive a critical new effort around network programmability called The Interface to the Routing System (IRS). A number of folks inside Juniper including Alia Atlas, Bruno Rijsman, Hannes Gredler and myself have contributed to a number of IETF drafts including the primary requirements and framework drafts. In the near future at least a dozen drafts around this topic should appear online.

I am speaking at the OIF's Control Plane workshop today in Edmonton, Canada. The topic will be on SDN Architectures.
The presentation will be a discussion around what is needed to for successful SDN architectures and more importantly, implementations. My presentation as well as others during the session will focus on the optical angle around SDN as well. In particular, how tools like OpenFlow can be used to control optical switches/devices, as well as how SDN Controllers can conduct such network orchestration, operation and maintenance.
I hope to see you there!
SDN Workshop at Carrier Cloud Summit 2012, Paris, France June 19-21, 2012
I will be chairing as well as presenting at the SDN Workshop at the Carrier Cloud Summit 2012 next week. The SDN Workshop is shaping up to be a very good discussion around SDN from industry leaders during the day, followed by a debate/discussion with panalists from major SDN vendors and users.
I will be delivering one of the keynote addresses at the SDN 2012 Workshop.
My presentation is called, "Software Driven or Defined Networks" and will be covering the differences between these two approaches and why they are both important, but why the approaches are quite different in purpose and approach. This wider view is important to Juniper and embodies our approach to "SDN".Read more...

As part of the PostgreSQL Development process, we agreed that everybody that supplies a patch would also review a patch. Doing that gives the process balance and avoids focusing on particular individuals for review. It's Peer Review, not Free Review. In Sept 2012 review process we have 5 people doing more reviews than patches and 14 people who've submitted more patches than reviews. From that list, I've excluded 7 people who've submitted their first patch (or at least I don't recognise the name) and who can be forgiven for not signing up, yet. I myself haven't put down to review anything yet, but this mail is part of me thinking about that. There are still 35 patches in need of review. We must remember that if we don't do this then the alternative is simply longer delays in the patch acceptance process and that affects developers worse than anyone else. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

Prayers for all Occasions, Needs, and Intentions
For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.
"Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." (St. John Damascene, De fide orth. 3,24:
A powerful prayer recited before praying: "Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray, that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar."
My Daily Call to God for Help!
Prayers for the Souls in Purgatory
Prayers to the Blessed Trinity
Prayers to the Divine Infant of Prague
Prayers of Penance and Reconciliation
Prayers Before and After Communion
Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Canticles of the Old and New Testament
Prayer Petition for Assistance
The Prayers to St. Catherine of Siena
Prayers to St. Therese, the Little Flower
Prayers to St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows
Blessings for Persons, Places, and Things
The Fifteen Prayers of Our Lord to St. Bridget
Prayers for each Day of the Week and Month of the Year
Prayers of Preparation for Mass and Thanksgiving after Mass
Prayer is a necessity for all, both in the name of justice and in the name of charity and love. In the name of justice, it is a partial fulfillment of the creature's acknowledgment of his place beneath the Creator; thus prayers can be prayers of adoration, petition, thanksgiving, praise, reparation. In the name of love, prayer is the answer to love's demand for communion with the loved one.
Vocal prayer, a prayer expressed in word or gesture, is a necessity for human nature. If our prayer is purely external it is meaningless for our heart is not in it; if it is purely internal, it soon withers and dies for we are not angels but men, and all our acts reflect that union of body and soul which makes us what we are. We need the expression of prayer that our love may not be mute; and the very expression feeds the love to which it gives expression. Then, too, in the name of justice, we owe God the submissive reverence of our whole being, of our body as well as of our soul.
Mental prayer can be briefly described as "pondering with love." It is the quick flight of the heart and mind to God which may take place in an instant or may consume any length of time; but it will always take its rise from some insight into the divine lovableness and terminate in a humble, wondering thanks to God and a determination to be more worthy of that divine goodness and love.
Contemplation is a completely free gift of God that comes to us, at His good pleasure, through the Gifts of the Holy Ghost by a movement of the Holy Spirit. By it, we are given a foretaste of heaven, knowing and loving in the divine mode far beyond the slow plodding that is natural to our minds and hearts. We can prepare ourselves for contemplation by keeping our minds in the neighborhood of divine things through vocal and mental prayer, and spiritual reading; and by getting our hearts ready through the practice of the virtues. But our efforts are strictly limited to preparation for contemplation; the gift itself is God's to give.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church covers the subject of prayer and the types of prayer in our daily lives.

Ok, after several days of playing homefront's multi player mode I can officially say that it is..... meh.
To me the characters are very hard to see on the screen. Everything is very brightly lit with colors and all of the uniforms (both US & Korea) are very light camo style so you have to use the color above their heads to determine who is who from a distance. The problem with that is that if an ally is in the line of sight either in front of or behind that masks the enemy.
Plays just like COD so you don't have to get used to any new controls or anything. Maps are huge and a lot of people can play so that is good.
But overall, it's really nothing special.

Conklin & de Decker will be holding its Helicopter Maintenance Management Seminar–called "Essential Tools for Your New Maintenance Manager's Role"–in Irving, Texas, February 15 through 17. "If you're a maintenance technician and you're doing well in your job, you're likely to get promoted to management. The problem is that you've probably had no exposure to the basics of management, and certainly not as they apply to aircraft maintenance management, during your career. This seminar, designed and taught by helicopter people for helicopter people, will make sure the maintenance technician has the appropriate tools to manage personnel in the maintenance department, interact with other departments and consume the organization's resources efficiently," Bill de Decker, the company's president, told AIN. The seminar is taught by Brandon Battles, the company's vice president, and Gary Potochnik, FAA designated airworthiness representative, who have taught the course's content for 15 years. The course focuses on the principles of management, financial management, inventory, information systems and regulatory issues. Cost for attending the seminar is $995 per person, with a $100 early-registration discount in effect until January 24.

TSN Radio is a reality, and Mike Richards has been signed to become the morning drive host in Toronto.
While officials at TSN declined comment Friday, The Globe and Mail has learned that the long-rumoured radio operation will go ahead later this year, after BCE Inc. takes full control of CTV Inc., the parent company of TSN. The radio initiative to challenge The FAN 590 and extend the brand to its TEAM stations across the country has been one of the prime projects championed by BCE's Bell Canada unit as it takes over operations.
Richards has signed on for the proposed new station that will broadcast on the 1050 band in Toronto.
Richards, who declined comment Friday, did not appear on his FAN 960 show Friday morning and his identification is being removed from the website. Sources tell Usual Suspects that the 47-year-old sent his resignation late Thursday night to the station where he's worked the past six years. While no dollar figures were revealed, it's believed that Richards will have full creative control over his show, which will likely be simulcast on TSN or TSN2.
Richards will no doubt be a controversial figure. His comic subjects include everyone from Foster Hewitt to TSN's Darren Dutchyshen to John Daly, and he has been the subject of listener complaints about his satirical material. But he gives TSN an immediate presence in a market where Richards worked in the past on The TEAM and the FAN 590.
During his time at The FAN 960, the former comic took his sports-talk show from virtually nowhere to No. 1 in the lucrative male 25-54 demographic - virtually unheard-of for a sports-talk format in radio prime time. It appears that Rogers made some efforts to keep Richards within the company, but wanted him to remain in Calgary for the time being. The Toronto native, however, had decided for family reasons that he wished to return to Toronto.
It marked the second attempt by Rogers to sign Richards, who's been operating without a new contract for the past few weeks. Last summer he was the first choice for The FAN 590's morning show, but the sides could not reach an agreement. Richards will likely be positioned against Andrew Krystal at The FAN 590, the man who assumed the job last September when previous negotiations to bring Richards to the station broke down.
No announcement has been made on who will host TSN Radio's afternoon show against Bob McCown's powerful Prime Time Sports.

I just realized that the ATI implementation does not seem to support Out of Order Execution. The device is a Radeon HD6970.
What exactly does it mean that OOOE is not supported? Assume the following operations are enqueued:

- Execute kernel that uses A[/*:m5jdm2qq]
- Write to buffer B[/*:m5jdm2qq]

New Orleans — Police booked a 48-year-old woman with four counts of aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated criminal damage after authorities say she brought a gun to a fight one of her daughters had in Algiers.
Bookerrena Craft was arrested on Tuesday, according to court records. The records state that Craft showed up at a fight one of her daughters was having at 13 Shepard Court. Craft is accused of pulling out a gun but being unable to fire it. Another of her daughters grabbed the weapon from her and opened fire, the report states.
Craft and her relatives fled the scene but later returned and were arrested by police, the report says.
Police are searching for one of Craft's daughters and a man who also allegedly fired gunshots in the incident.
Man booked after drugs found at home
New Orleans — A multijurisdictional task force arrested a New Orleans man Thursday after authorities say they found large amounts of marijuana, crack, cocaine and heroin at the man's home.
Branden Lavallais, 24, was booked with several narcotics charges after investigators with the West Bank Major Crimes Taskforce searched his home and found more than a kilogram of marijuana, 4 ounces of crack cocaine, nearly an ounce of powder cocaine, prescription pills and some heroin, authorities said.
Investigators also arrested Dominique Polk, 24, after she was found at the home in the 1100 block of South Salcedo Street.
Polk and Lavallais were booked with cruelty to a juvenile because a 2-year-old girl was at the home.
Police identify suspect in $200,000 theft
Gretna — A New York "traveling criminal" has been identified as the main suspect in a vehicle burglary in Gretna that netted thieves $200,000.
Gretna Deputy Chief Anthony Christiana said police believe Carlos Felix-Rivera worked with an accomplice to the steal the cash from a lock box in a vehicle parked at a strip mall near the intersection of Gretna Boulevard and Belle Chasse Highway.
Police identified Felix-Rivera as a suspect after determining he had been following the victim in a van they traced up the eastern seaboard after the crime, Christiana said. Detectives had interviewed Felix-Rivera in New York but held off on arresting him until they gathered more evidence.
Police used a variety of cameras and information from other law enforcement agencies to zero in on Felix-Rivera as a suspect, Christiana said.
Felix-Rivera has a prior conviction for theft in Gretna from 2001, and Christiana said he has committed crimes all across the country. Christiana said police are still trying to identify a second man seen on tape participating in the theft.
Marrero man booked in attack on woman
Lafitte — Investigators have booked a 26-year-old Marrero man with aggravated battery after authorities say he broke into a woman's home in December and pepper-sprayed her in the face.
Joel Arabie was arrested Thursday by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
Arabie broke into the 78-year-old victim's home in Lafitte to steal her medication and cash, an arrest report says. At the time of the incident, Arabie was the main suspect because he previously dated the victim's granddaughter.
Woman arrested after she crashes car in park
Harahan — Harahan Police arrested a 49-year-old woman Wednesday night after authorities say she crashed into a bench and pilings at one of the city's parks.
Avia Paquay was arrested after a witness removed her car keys when she tried to escape down Wilson Street in Harahan, according to an arrest report.
The report says that Paquay tried to make her getaway after running a stop sign and crashing into a bench in the middle of the park. Paquay did not have any alcohol in her system but admitted to taking medication that day. She was booked with driving while intoxicated, reckless operation of a motor vehicle and hit-and-run driving. The crash happened when the park was closed.

Violet — The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office booked Trinette Johnson with theft on Friday in connection with the theft of $101,872 from the Greater Mount Oliver Missionary Baptist Church since 2006.

ASG VP of Operations Nominated for Women in Technology Careers Event
Our own Vice President of Operations, Vickie Wilson, is at the Louisiana State University campus today serving as a panelist for the LSU Women In Technology Careers forum. Vickie is one of eight panelists who are LSU faculty members and high-ranking professionals in private industry and state government.
The event was driven in part by a recent Forbes article, "Here's the Real Reason There Are Not More Women in Technology," which explored potential explanations for the relative scarcity of women employed in technology fields. It suggested that many young women are simply unaware of the variety of career options available.
"The purpose of the event is to make young women more aware of the potential and the advantages of a career in technology," says Karen Sirman, the event's chairwoman and a senior manager with University Information Technology Services.
The forum will feature a panel of professional women currently working in technology careers and related fields. These panelists will discuss their own accomplishments and the varied career opportunities available to young women today. The event organizers expect the students who attend the event will extract new ways they can transfer their interests in science, technology, engineering and mathematics into successful and rewarding careers.
Hosted at the Louisiana State University campus today, September 20th, from 9:00am – 3:00pm, the event will consist of a panel discussion, lunch, a career day-style networking session and drawings for door prizes. NetApp, Advanced Systems Group, LSU Information Technology Services (ITS) and LSU Career Services are sponsoring the event.
Vickie Wilson first joined ASG in 1985 as a member of the accounting department. In 1999, the company elevated Vickie to her current top position, Vice President of Operations. Today, Vickie is very involved in new company initiatives and the development of new processes and procedures. Throughout her career at ASG, Vickie has kept the company's internal operations updated with the latest technology, thereby enhancing teamwork, encouraging faster and more accurate communication, and streamlining document management applications.

Entries are beginning to arrive for The Herald's Children's Storywriting Competition.
Open to children between the ages of five and 17, the competition is run in partnership with Turnberry Resort in Ayrshire and The Scottish Book Trust, and has some claim to be the most rewarding short story competition for children ever held in Scotland.
The prizes, however, are not the reason for setting up this competition. The Herald and its partners recognise the importance of storytelling for children of all ages, not only in terms of boosting literacy, but even more importantly, for inspiring confidence and creativity.
Loading article content
To spark children's imaginations, this competition is divided into three categories: writers aged 5-8 (100-500 words), 9-12 (500-800 words) and 13-17 (up to 1000 words).
There are three story titles to choose from – The Holiday Secret, Strangers in Town and New Beginnings – and the winning entries will be decided by a panel of five, comprising children's writers, illustrators, critics and book specialists, including Elizabeth Wein, author of popular historical fiction for young adults; David Roberts, whose superbly atmospheric illustrations have appeared in books by writers as different as Julia Donaldson and Sylvia Plath; and myself, The Herald's Literary Editor.
There will be one winner for each age category, and an overall grand prize winner, who will claim a Nexus 7 tablet, a family visit for up to six people for three nights at Lands of Turnberry Self Catering Apartments, £500 of Scottish Book Trust vouchers and a Turnberry goody bag.
The two runners-up will win a Kindle-fire, £250 of Scottish Book Trust Vouchers, and a Turnberry goody bag. The closing date is January 14, 2013. Entries should be sent to: Children's Story Writing competition, The Herald Marketing Department, 200 Renfield Street, Glasgow G2 3QB. Please state age and theme on the envelope. The winner will be announced in April 2013 at an event held at Turnberry.

What a cutie! Crazy Heart star Maggie Gyllenhaal and her adorable 3 ½-year-old daughter Ramona were spotted returning to their apartment in New York City this morning (April 23). We love Ramona's long locks.
Later in the day, we saw the adorable mother-daughter duo departing from LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
The 32-year-old mother of one recently opened up about introducing discipline to Ramona:
I am actually just getting into discipline. My parents didn't have a lot of rules, I was kind of wild."
What age did you start disciplining your kids?

SEMINOLE — Hazardous materials and fire crews responded to reports of a blast of deadly gas at a Raytheon facility Thursday morning.
Crews arrived at the Young-Rainey Star Center, 7885 Bryan Dairy Road, about 10:45 a.m. after reports of hydrogen sulfide. But they quickly discovered that the call actually was for nearby Raytheon, so they went there. They got negative readings for the gas.
Still, one person was taken to the hospital for an undisclosed condition.

Eastview looks to continue successful run in High Kick
Several local dance teams – including two of the most successful programs in Minnesota high school history – will put their talents on display at this weekend's state meet at Target Center in Minneapolis.
Eagan, Eastview and Burnsville are among the qualifiers for the Class AAA Jazz Division competition, which will take place Friday. Eastview, Eagan, Burnsville and Apple Valley advanced in the High Kick Division, which will have its competition Saturday. Eastview is seeking a third consecutive state championship in High Kick.
Eastview won Section 1AAA championships in High Kick and Jazz, as well as the South Suburban Conference championship. The Lightning has been a state dance team power for a decade with six High Kick championships since 2004. Eastview has been third in Jazz at the state meet the last three years.
This is the 17th year the Minnesota State High School League has run the dance team competition (previous state meets were run by the Minnesota Association of Dancelines), but Burnsville's history in dance team dates to the 1975-76 school year, when it placed fifth in High Kick. Burnsville has been to state in that division every year since, with the exception of 2010-11. The school's High Kick teams have won 10 state championships.
Eastview and Burnsville have dominated High Kick the last 15 years. Since 1998, each school has won the state championship six times.
Eagan qualified its teams through the Section 3AAA meet. The Wildcats won a section title in Jazz for the first time, winning a tiebreaker against Forest Lake and Spring Lake Park.
Eagan will compete in the Class AAA Jazz Division preliminaries at 2:05 p.m. Friday. Eastview will compete at 3:25 and Burnsville at 3:55. After the preliminaries, the top six teams will advance to the finals, which take place at 7:15 p.m. Friday.
In Saturday's Class AAA High Kick preliminaries, Eastview competes at 2:45 p.m., Eagan at 2:55, Burnsville at 3:35 and Apple Valley at 3:55. The finals begin at 7:15.
1,000-point club
Two more local players recently reached the 1,000-point milestone for their high school basketball careers.
Eastview sophomore Madison Guebert scored her 1,000th career point during the Lightning girls basketball team's victory over Rosemount on Feb. 5. Guebert, the Lightning's leading scorer, reached the mark in fewer than two full varsity seasons.
On Tuesday, Apple Valley senior Jaryn Pipkins reached 1,000 career points in the Eagles' 67-51 victory over Burnsville. Pipkins last week signed with Dartmouth College to compete in track and field.
Gymnastics sections
Eagan High School is the site of the Section 3AA gymnastics meet at 5:30 p.m. Friday. Eagan, Rosemount and Farmington are teams from the Sun Thisweek area in the field.
Park of Cottage Grove is the highest-ranked team in the field at No. 6 in Class AA. Rosemount is eighth and Farmington is 16th. The team champion will advance to the state meet Feb. 22 at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion. Also, four qualifiers in each of the four individual events, plus the top four in the all-around, will go to the state individual competition Feb. 23, also at the Sports Pavilion.

Bear in mind that when I wash my clothes I use Baking Soda and Vinegar for the most part. I do want to be able to be more green than use alot of what is out there in a bottle to clean my running shoes. The obstacle is that from what little I have found online, there isn't much that will actually clean them well. Just like detergents, chemicals and such, I am afriad that this contributes to the breakdown and instability of the materials in them. I could throw them in the washing machine as I have read many do, but are there any "green" alternatives that I could use my elbow grease on?
Is there a "green" way to clean my runner's?
I think my dirty running shoes tell the world that I'm an outdoor, off-road runner. Don't want to be mistaken for treadmiller.
I just try to go through a few inch deep puddle, if available - preferably with gravel base - toward the end to get the mud off.
Running in snow will also help clean shoes. And if you always run in snow, the shoes don't get dirty.
If worse comes to worse, I let the shoes dry then bounce them against each other to shake off the mud.
I've never washed my running shoes with anything more than a bit of warm water in the sink and a scrub brush.
I've been running for 25 years, almost exclusively off-road, and have never cleaned my running shoes. Ditto what AKTrail said. Find a puddle or wet grass when they get too caked. If the mud is dry when you grab them for the next run, whack them together and knock the mud off.
btw, modern detergents are pretty darn green and there's really no green reason to not use them.
My shoes get pretty rank, especially in the summer. Rather than risk getting a citation from the EPA for an air pollution violation, I'll sometimes toss them in the washer on the gentle cycle and let them air-dry afterwards. Another thing I do is to pull out the insoles after a run to facilitate the drying out and mitigate bacterial growth (because that's what causes the stink).
To clean your runner's what?
In the summer I leave my shoes out in the sun to dry and air out the sweat stench.

Mich. Chrysler workers claim Ohio Powerball jackpot
Mon, 28 Jun 2010 20:47:49 GMT —
Fourteen Chrysler workers from Michigan have claimed half of Ohio's second Powerball jackpot.
The group that calls themselves "The Lucky Thirteen Plus One" were at the Ohio Lottery's regional office in Toledo Monday to claim half of the $97 million jackpot from the a June Powerball drawing. The winning ticket from the multi-state lottery game was sold to one of the group's members at Shirley's Carryout in Curtice (Ottawa County).
The group, comprised of workers at a Detroit-area Chrysler paint shop, has chosen a cash option of approximately $25.1 million. After federal and state taxes, each group member will receive a one-time payout of $1.2 million.
William Shanteau, of Curtice, says he purchased the ticket at Shirley's and had a dream the night before the June 23 drawing that his group of co-workers had won. When he went to verify his ticket the next day, Shanteau says "bell and whistles went off" in his head, just like that alarm that awakened him from his dream.
Shirley's Carryout has received $48,500 as a retailer bonus for selling the winning ticket, courtesy of the Ohio Lottery.
Shanteau's "The Lucky Thirteen Plus One" co-workers include Robert King of Monroe, Gerald Thompson and April Sparks-Griffin of Detroit, James Jones of Troy, Christopher Jackson of Redford, Roy Rutledge of Dryden, Ignazio Giambra of Dearborn, Leonard Daddario of Trenton, Billy McGill of Flat Rock, Kevin Bostic of Ypsilanti, Daynalynn Lesniak-Hertel of Imlay City, and Phyllis Adams of Southfield.

Copy Editors: Journalism's Interior Linemen
By Gene Foreman
Deputy Editor and Vice President, Philadelphia Inquirer
In the last two decades, a technological revolution has swept newsrooms, but it has done little to alter the professional status of the copy desk. These editors may work now with sleek computer terminals instead of paper, pens, pica poles and paste. Yet they continue to labor in anonymity, usually drawing attention only if they make a mistake. I call them Journalism's Interior Linemen, because they clear the path for Journalism's Running Backs: the columnists who get the photo sigs in the paper and the reporters and photographers who get the bylines and credit lines. Like their football counterparts, copy editors work without expectations of glory. Both groups derive their job satisfaction from the knowledge that they make it all possible.
Although the copy desk continues to have a low profile in the newsroom, it is much more important now in the newspaper company's larger scheme of things. (Not that the publisher has come around to hand out medals.) Today's copy editors still perform the traditional tasks of refining grammar, punctuation and spelling; tightening and straightening prose; and crafting headlines and captions with reader appeal. With their computers, they also have absorbed the functions of yesterday's legions of blue-collared compositors. If the technological revolution had not drastically reduced production labor costs, many newspapers would be unprofitable now.
It is hard to imagine the modern copy desk without the pervasive presence of computers. This is truly the Age of Computers. As a journalist who worked in the pre-computer age, I can assure you that the computer way is much, much better. But the new way is not without its drawbacks.
First, let's look at the ways the computer has improved newspapers, quite apart from the cost savings. The finished product is better. Photocomposition, a process facilitated by computers, results in higher-quality printing. Typographical errors, once rampant in many shops and almost impossible to eliminate in even the best papers, now are history. (Whatever errors get through now are editor's errors.) The newsroom controls nearly the entire production process, making it easier to enforce quality standards. At papers that are paginating, type is perfectly aligned and there is no such thing as a crooked rule. Finally, we are able to produce type and compose pages much faster than in hot-type days. Though many editors swear otherwise, we have been able to move deadlines back - and, by using savvy shortcuts, manage to publish late-breaking stories that in yesteryear would have had to wait a day.
But the pertinent point is that these miracles have come at a price. And the price is paid by the copy desk. Copy editors have to devote huge chunks of their time to punching composition codes into their computers. This diverts editors from their journalistic duties. As new generations of computers are developed, we in the newsroom must insist that vendors streamline composition commands so they intrude less in the editing process. Also, the constant manipulation of the keyboard poses a health problem for copy editors. Unless they practice change-of-pace exercises and take breaks from their computer stations, they are highly vulnerable to RSI. That's repetitive stress injury, an affliction of wrists, arms and shoulders that can be career-threatening if not checked.
Another development has complicated the lives of copy editors. That is the newspaper design technique that has increased the amount of display type - headlines, readouts, captions, lifted quotes and the like. This is a desirable development that makes our papers more appealing to busy readers. People are able to move through the paper quickly, sampling our wares and deciding whether to stop and read further. Desirable though this may be, the design technique has increased the workload on copy desks.
The role of the copy editor in the newsroom remains an adversarial one. There's no getting round that; copy editing requires critical analysis of other people's work. It can lead to tension. Smart leaders try to defuse that tension and foster constructive relationships among groups of journalists. They correctly point out that a good copy editor is a reporter's best friend - someone who will head off mistakes, is a trusted sounding board for risk-taking writing, and burnishes the reporter's copy with headlines that invite the reader. Improving relationships between copy editors and the rest of the newsroom needs to be an important factor in our deliberations.
So, if the computer revolution has in some ways made the copy editor's task more difficult, and if we have increased the volume of display type we expect the copy editor to write, and if little has been done to improve the status of copy editors in the newsroom culture...is it any wonder that we have a malaise on the copy desk?
I would like to sketch for you what I consider to be the reasons for that malaise.
- Based on my observation of the industry as a whole, the biggest underlying problem is the reluctance of many top editors to invest in adequate staffing on the copy desks. These editors perceive that they will get a bigger return on their budget dollars by putting more reporters in the field. While it is hard to fault their zeal for covering the news, the fact is that we publish the equivalent of a full-sized book in the space of a few hours each night. To edit with care, to perform the painstaking proofing and re-checking from edition to edition, requires a lot of bodies. The staffing shortage is exacerbated at newspapers where the editors did not have the foresight - or the clout with management - to expand copy desks when they took over the composing room's functions. But let's be realistic; these are tight economic times for newspapers, and we aren't going to be expanding our staffs anytime soon. So we are not going to right the wrongs of staff allocations overnight. We should ask top editors to acknowledge that they are wrong and, at least on a proportionate basis, to start doing something about it.
- A second reason for the malaise is that, sad to say, copy editors don't get respect at many papers. They aren't taken seriously by the reporters and the reporters' editors; their questions about content and tone are brushed off. These indignities are heaped on a job that is already anonymous in nature and generally unappreciated. Again, it is up to top editors to set the tone. They have to insist that copy editing be vigorous and assertive; that the copy desk is an equal partner with the reporting staff in charting the newsroom's course; and that copy editors are always included in study committees and training groups.
- A third problem is the way that many newsrooms are organized. The leaders of copy editors frequently are assigned other duties - most commonly, laying out pages and supervising production. When these responsibilities are placed on the copy chief, supervision of copy editing inevitably suffers. Pages have to be laid out, or the paper doesn't come out. Reading back on stories and coaching copy editors are low priorities. Another organizational mistake, I think, is putting copy editors under the supervision of an editor responsible for assigning news coverage. Experience has shown that such editors tend to identify with their reporters and to show more concern for their welfare than the welfare of the copy editors. It's better to have copy editors in their own chain of command, with their own leaders to champion their cause and a degree of independence in editing the work of their assigning-desk counterparts.
- A fourth source of the copy desk malaise - and I continue to speak in generalities - is ineffective leadership on the copy desks. There is a tendency for their bosses to promote the best copy editors from the rim to the slot, reasoning that because the slot is a gatekeeper in the flow of copy into the paper, they should have the best wordsmith there to keep mistakes out. Wrong. These are leadership positions. We should be looking for people who are skilled in managing the work of others, people who are caring about the professional needs of their colleagues. Of course, the best copy editor may not possess the best leadership skills, any more than the best reporter will automatically make the best city editor. We should recognize that the skills of rim and slot are different and put leadership qualities first, as long as the candidate has strong professional credentials. And because copy editors work in one place all day, in close quarters and under constant deadline pressure, they even more than reporters require sensitive leadership.
My overview of the copy desk in 1995 would not be complete without telling you that copy editors themselves can do much to raise the level of professionalism on their desks. Even on the best newspapers, there are far too many grammatical and style errors. I'll grant that some of these are the result of overwork and a scarcity of time, but more often they stem from a failure to grasp the fundamentals of the written language. I consider it inexcusable when these shortcomings are dismissed as unimportant. My mail attests to the fact that the readers do not consider them unimportant. Knowledge of English mechanics, and of a newspaper's stylebook, ought to be givens on the copy desk. Frankly, what I find remarkable is that a concern about language details - among professionals who earn their living with the language - should itself be considered remarkable. In what other professions is precision assigned so little value?
We will be looking this weekend at ways we might improve on the copy desk. We are looking for innovations that really work. They have to result both in happier copy editors and better newspapers.
There are other reforms that need to be made: A proportionately larger allocation of resources to the copy desk. Better adherence to deadlines by reporters and assigning editors, so copy editors have time to edit. More conscientious hiring procedures for copy editors, giving candidates job tests and on-the-job tryouts. Scrupulous standards for internal transfers so the copy desk gets qualified and motivated journalists, not rejects.
I caution that lasting improvements are not likely to come from ideas that disperse the copy desk's already insufficient staff throughout the newsroom. Welcoming copy editors into the camaraderie of reporting teams is a well-intentioned idea. However, if it means that less editing is done, or that the editing is done by journalists who lack the specialized language skills of copy editors, I doubt if the newspaper is going to be better off.
We should take heart from the realization that most top editors really want to solve what they term ``the copy desk problem.'' They know they ought to be doing better by their copy editors.
I think that any proposal, to succeed, must address the key issues of improving professional respect among copy editors' peers in the newsroom. I look to you, as copy editors, for methods of recognition that you would find gratifying and not patronizing.

POLICE are trying to track down modern-day rustlers after a raid on a farm in North Yorkshire.
The thieves stole 30 lambs from a field near Oulston, Thirsk, sometime between Friday January 11 and Monday January 14.
The animals involved were all nine-month-old Texel lambs and all were distinctive as they had a large letter "R" painted on their backs.
Police are now appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and saw any suspicious activity or vehicle to contact them as soon as possible.
They are also keen to speak to anyone who may have been offered the lambs for sale – either alive of slaughtered.
Investigator PC Julia Kessell said: "I am asking villagers across the area to keep an eye out for people and vehicles they don't recognise. If something seems out of the ordinary contact police immediately."
Anyone who can help with this enquiry is asked to contact Thirsk police on 101, select option two and ask for Julie Kessell. Alternatively information can be emailed to email@example.com or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Sonoma County
|Clarence C. Hall
Throughout the Alexander valley district it would be difficult to find a ranch more thrifty in appearance or remunerative in income than the one which Clarence C. Hall owns and occupies, not far from Healdsburg. Here fruits of the various kinds as well as hops vie with each other on the eighty acres under cultivation, of the six hundred and fifty-six acres which comprise the home ranch, besides which Mr. Hall owns thirty-eight hundred acres of mountain land upon which he grazes large flocks of sheep. Mr. Hall's wonderful success as a rancher and sheep raiser is not the result of chance, but is rather the outcome of a careful training under his pioneer father, L. J. Hall, who has been a resident of Sonoma county since 1854 and the occupant of his present ranch in Russian River township since that year also.
The son of a pioneer and also a native son of the state, Clarence C. Hall was born near Healdsburg, August 29, 1855, the son of L. J. and Elizabeth (McCool) Hall, both natives of Missouri. Born in Lafayette county, that state, October 30, 1825, the father early in life assumed the responsibilities of his own maintenance, his first work, at the age of fifteen, being as a farm hand in the vicinity of his home in Missouri. He followed this for a number of years, and when only twenty-two years old took upon himself the responsibilities of married life by his union with Elizabeth McCool. Six years after their marriage, in 1854, the young people came to the west and located in Sonoma county, Cal., on the ranch in Russian River township which is still the home of Mr. Hall. Here the death of Mrs. Hall occurred April 29, 1903, when in her seventy-fifth year. Six children were born to this esteemed pioneer couple, four of whom are deceased, while those living are our subject and Rosella. Since the death of the mother the daughter has tenderly cared for her father in his declining years.
As he was the only son in the parental family Clarence C. Hall and his father became associated in the maintenance of the home ranch as soon as the schools days were over for the younger man, and the association formed so many years ago has only recently been severed, the year 1908 marking the independent venture of the son on property which he purchased from his father. This purchase consisted of six hundred and fifty-six acres of choice land in the Alexander Valley district, in close proximity to Healdsburg, and the diversity of its soil, much of which is rich river bottom land, makes it unexcelled for productiveness. Here he has thirty acres in prunes, from which he receives an average crop of one hundred and eighty tons of green fruit per season; for his crop of 1910 he received $65 a ton for his Imperials, while the French prunes brought $35 a ton. Besides his orchard he has twenty-five acres in hops, the crop from which during the last season amounted to one hundred and sixty bales; twenty acres in tomatoes, and five acres in peaches and apples. As has been stated elsewhere, besides the home ranch he also has thirty-eight hundred acres of mountain land, which furnishes unsurpassed grazing for his sheep, which number twenty-five hundred head.
In 1888 Mr. Hall was united in marriage with
Miss Lela Allen, a native of Nevada, and three children have been born
to them. The eldest child and only son, Conway Allen, born in 1890, is
assisting his father on the ranch. Gladys, born in 1892, is attending
the high school at Healdsburg. Gretchen, born in 1894, is a student in
the state normal school at San Francisco. Politically Mr. Hall is a
Democrat, and fraternally he belongs to the Masonic order, Knights of
Pythias, Woodmen of the World and the Santa Rosa Lodge of Elks. Mr. Hall
is one of the reliable and substantial men of Healdsburg, and one who
wears modestly the dignity conferred by an upright, courageous and
altogether worthy life.

When the great city of Troy was taken, the Greek chieftains set sail for their homes; but there was wrath in heaven against them, for they had borne themselves haughtily in the day of their victory. Therefore they did not all find a safe and happy return ; many were shipwrecked, and of them all the wise Ulysses was he who wandered farthest and suffered most. He escaped the enchantments of Circe, the dangers of Scylla and Charybdis, came back to his course whence the winds of Aeolus had driven him far, and at last was allowed to come to his own land.
Here the goddess Athena met him and told him that his wife Penelope was almost a prisoner in her own home. The nobles of Ithaca and of the neigh-boring lands, believing Ulysses to be dead, were urging Penelope to marry some one of them. They were living in his house as owners rather than as guests, lording and domineering at their pleasure ; but Penelope, who had always believed that Ulysses would return, had refused her many suitors.
So Athena changed Ulysses in appearance into a very old man clad in tattered rags, and gave him a staff to support his steps. Then she sent him to his herdsman Eumaeus, strictly charging him that he should reveal himself to no man except to his own son Telemachus. Eumaeus received the old beggar kindly, bewailing much that his good master Ulysses did not return and that he was forced to work so long for evil men who hated him. And the old beggar answered him, " My friend, I say to you solemnly, Ulysses shall return. Within this year, nay, ere this month be fully ended, your eyes shall behold Ulysses in his own palace, righting the wrongs of his wife and his son. "
Then came to supper the servants of the herdsman, who had been out all day in the fields. After supper the beggar, who had eaten well and was refreshed, told the eager herdsmen tales that related to their king Ulysses and to the wars of Troy.
When morning was come, Ulysses made offer to depart ; but as he spoke the steps of one crossing the court were heard, and a noise of dogs fawning and leaping about as if for joy. Eumaeus said : " It is the step of Telemachus, the son of King Ulysses. He has heard that there is here one who brings tidings of his father. "
Ulysses covered his eyes with his hands, that the prince might not see the tears that stood in them. And Telemachus said, " Is this the man who can tell us tidings of the king my father? "
Then, as Eumaeus had departed to see to some necessary business, Athena suddenly stood at the door. She gave signs to Ulysses that the time was now come when he should make himself known to his son, and by her great power she changed him back into his own shape.
But Telemachus, who saw now a king in the vigor of his age, where but just before he had seen an old beggar, was struck with fear, and, thinking it was some god, he turned away his eyes. But his father cried: "Look better at me; I am no god. I am but thy father; I am that Ulysses whose absence has exposed thy youth to so many wrongs." Then he kissed his son, nor could he any longer keep back the tears.
Then said Ulysses again: " I am he that after twenty years' absence has seen at last my own country. It was Athena that changed me as you saw.
And Ulysses gave directions to his son to return to the house, but to impart this secret to no one, not even to the queen his mother. And he charged him to hold himself ready, for he should follow shortly in his beggar's likeness, and together they would drive out the wicked suitors. And Telemachus departed, promising to obey, and Ulysses became again a beggar in base and beggarly attire.
So Ulysses came to his own palace and crept by turns to each of the suitors as they sat at meat, holding out his hand for alms. And some pitied him and gave him alms, but the greater part reviled him and bade him begone as one that spoiled their feast.
Now Telemachus sat at meat with the suitors and knew that it was the king his father who begged an alms. And when his father came to him, he gave him of his own meat, and of his own cup to drink. And the suitors were angry to see a pitiful beggar so honored by the prince, and they said, " Prince Telemachus does ill to encourage wandering beggars."
" I see," said Ulysses, " that a poor man should get but little at your board." And one of the suitors, angered by this speech, snatched up a stool and smote the beggar upon the neck and shoulders. But Ulysses said nothing more, for the time was not yet come.
Now Ulysses had not seen his wife Penelope, for the queen did not care to mingle with the suitors at their banquets, but, as became one that had been Ulysses' wife, kept much in private, spinning and weaving among her maids. But Ulysses now went to her, and the maids said, " It is the beggar who came to court to-day." Then Penelope said, " It may be that he has traveled and has heard something concerning Ulysses."
So the beggar stood before the queen, and she knew him not to be Ulysses, but supposed that he was some poor traveler. And she asked him questions, but he did not tell her as yet who he was.
Now there was a bow that Ulysses had left when he went to Troy. It had been out of use and unstrung since that time, for no other man had strength to draw that bow. And Athena put it into the mind of Telemachus to propose to the suitors to try who was strongest. And he promised that to the man who should be able to draw the bow his mother should be given in marriage.
So Telemachus set up a mark and the bow was brought into the midst. The chief among the suitors had the first offer. He took the bow and, fitting an arrow to the string, strove to bend it, but not with all his might and main could he draw the ends of the bow together. Then they softened the string with fat, and one by one they tried, but not one could stir the string.
Then Ulysses prayed that he might try, and immediately a clamor was raised among the suitors, who scorned that a beggar should seek to contend in a game of such noble mastery. But Telemachus ordered that the bow should be given to him, since they had all failed.
Then Ulysses took the bow into his hand and surveyed it in all parts, to see if it had become stiff. He found it in good condition . and with ease drew the string of his own tough bow, and as he let it go it twanged with such a shrill noise as a swallow makes when it sings through the air. Then he fitted an arrow to the bow, and, drawing it to the head, he sent it right to the mark which the prince had set up.
Whereupon the rags fell from his shoulders, and his own kingly likeness returned. Telemachus advanced to his side, also armed. Then Ulysses revealed himself to all and said that he was the man whom they held to be dead at Troy, whose palace they had usurped and whose wife they had annoyed. And he dealt his deadly arrows among them, and there was no avoiding them. And Athena in the likeness of a bird sat upon the beam which went across the hall, and clapped her great wings with a fearful noise.
Then certain of the queen's household went up and told Penelope what had happened, and how her lord Ulysses was come home and had driven out the suitors, and they said, " That poor guest whom you talked with last night was Ulysses." But the queen thought they mocked her, and would not believe it.
By this time Telemachus and his father were come to where the queen was. And when she saw Ulysses, she stood motionless and had no power to speak. And Telemachus called to her that it was his father. Then she doubted no longer, but ran and fell upon Ulysses' neck. And to him his long labors and his severe sufferings seemed as nothing, now that he was restored to his home and his wife and son.
So from that time the land had rest from the suitors, and the happy Ithacans sang songs of praise to the gods for the safe return of their king.
