It takes a lot to rattle Jack Irish but, as Melbourne descends into a cold, wet winter, his mood is on the same trajectory. His mind is not fully on the job at hand: find Robbie Colburne. But when Jack gets serious, he finds that Colburne is of great interest to some powerful people with a distinct lack of respect for the criminal justice system.

I ordered a uniform skort Aug. 11, 2010 and still have not received it. Today is Sept. 13,2010. When calling customer service, they are unable to actually tell me when I will get the uniform, unable to send it overnight mail from the manufacturer and have already given me a send date that was false. They have no reasonable excuse for taking so long to get the uniform to me, no sincere apology, no offer of money off uniform or money off a future purchase - nothing. The worst customer service I have ever seen!!
I have never been as disappointed with any company as I am with Dennis Uniforms. They sell one quality of clothing and then when a customer orders more they send poor quality clothes. Look at your kids shorts and you will see a durable quality in one pair and then another pair will NOT even have Dennis Uniform brand attached to it in the inside. I ordered my son school shirts on August 7th and still have not received one shirt due to back order. Today is Sept. 9th. Of course there is not end date as to when the order will be received. I sent a pair of shorts on August 18th and still no money back or another pair. It seems like they are taking advantage of private schools because there are few uniform stores. Customer service is a joke because they tell you one thing and there is no follow through unless you continually call and demand a refund or the clothes itself.

No Bautista: Jays slugger Jose Bautista had two home runs off Price the last time they faced off and has a .421 lifetime average against him, but he will remain sidelined by neck spasms. He's expected to return this weekend.
Bouncing back: Price is coming off one of his worst starts, giving up a career-high 12 hits and lasting just 41/3 innings (matching his shortest home start ever) in an 8-5 loss to the Angels. He has won seven of his eight career starts against the Blue Jays.

Tribute of the day
The travel theme for the Rays' trip to Baltimore will pay tribute to the military unit responsible for the death of Osama bin Laden. Players and coaches will wear shirts that read "Navy SEAL Team 6. "Just a tribute to their teamwork that enabled them to carry out their mission," manager Joe Maddon said. "Teamwork being involved in what we do on a daily basis, you see the Lightning doing right now, you see the Bucs do, and you see the military do. The military is such a big part of our community here. It's such a tribute to them, their training and their attitude, the difficult odds they're working against all the time."
All in the family
B.J. Upton's walkoff home run Tuesday came a few hours before brother Justin hit an eighth-inning homer to give the Diamondbacks a 4-3 win over the Dodgers. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time brothers hit winning homers on the same day was Sept. 28, 1996, when Sandy Alomar hit one for Cleveland and brother Roberto did the same for Baltimore.

Thursday 24-Nov-2011 is a historical event for Indian retail industry when the Union Cabinet has decided to allow up to 51% FDI in multi-brand retail. It also increased the FDI limit in single-brand retail to 100% from 51%.
This is how Indian government thinks of FDI
- Common people: It will create up to 10 million (100 lakhs) jobs in next 3 years
- Farmers will get more than 12-15% of the consumer price they get for fruit and vegetables. 70% of retail is in food items and these are mostly sourced locally. Government will have the first right over procurement of farm produce.
- Consumers will get products at cheaper prices, as competition will bring down price.
- Small industry: 30% Mandatory sourcing from small-scale sectors will help small industry. Ikea already sourcing 30% of input from India.
- Back end infrastructure: Approval only after investor meet all conditions, including 50% investment in back end. This will being several billion dollars of Investment in retail and the infrastructure will develop.
And its answer to one who protest
- The subject is in the concurrent list and the Center has the power to make laws
- States can stop retailers under the local laws
- The retail companies will build the back-end infrastructure that is vital to cut wastage in India's $450-billion (Rs 2.3 lakh crore) retail industry.
- Only 53 cities out of 581 towns and cities in India will meet the one million norms (a minimum of 10 lakh population).
- Countries like China, Brazil, Indonesia, Chile allow 100% FDI and have seen tremendous growth
But what about the Indian Retailer?
There are approximately 1 crore 40 lakhs retail shops. We think that 70 lakhs of these retail shop will have to close their doors.
Only 5% of it is organized retail. Organized retail is often mistaken with a retail with a self service system with barcode and computers. Organized retail means much more than that.
Most of the retail business is family owned business where they think of profit = sale – cost. Most of the time they do consider their own salary, interest and rent as cost.
Which Indian retailer will survive?
- Those who has already earned a lot to be sufficient for next 2-3 generations.
- Those who has diversified have alternative source of income or whose next generation are in to jobs such as engineer and doctors.
- Those who are really converting there business in to a organized business using systems and process.
In my opinion a retailer will surely survive if she thinks of improving and controlling the following
- Stock Productivity
- Area (Space) Productivity
- Staff Productivity
- Sales & Purchases
- Trade creditor and debtors
- Bank and Cash balance
- Profit margin
- Control expenses and other cause of erosion of margin
- Customer satisfaction.
Please share your thoughts.

I'm African American and I am worried about my nipple color after healing. Right now they are fleshy colored. Is this normal?
Doctor Answers 3
Nipple Color After Breast Reduction
Without seeing a photo and now knowing how far out of surgery you are, it's difficult to say. Pigment from a graft may take a while to return but it does eventually come back with time. It's important to remain calm and to be patient throughout the healing process. If you notice any signs of infection, please contact your plastic surgeon.
Nipple Graft with Breast Reduction
In the early period after nipple grafts, it is VERY common for the pigment to fade. As the graft continues to heal the cells that produce skin color (melanocytes) will help to re-pigment your nipple and areola. It takes a while. So, be patient. If you have concerns about an infection or poor healing, then you need to follow up with your plastic surgeon.
Thank you for your question. Best of luck!
Gregory C. Park, M.D.
Without an exam or picture it's hard to say what is going on or how it will heal. It has been my experience that the pigmentation does return but it does take some time. You should talk to you PS to get more adequate advice.

InnoBio, a biotech fund managed by CDC Entreprises, and Sofinnova Partners have announced a joint investment in MedDay for 8 million euros ($10.5 million). Created in 2011 by Dr Frédéric Sedel and Dr Guillaume Brion, MedDay is specialised in the treatment of neuro-metabolic diseases.
InnoBio, a biotech fund managed by CDC Entreprises, which is part of the soon to be created BPIFrance[1], and Sofinnova Partners, a leading venture capital firm in Europe specialised in life sciences, announce a joint investment in MedDay for a total amount of 8 million euros.
Created in 2011 by Dr Frédéric Sedel and Dr Guillaume Brion, MedDay is specialised in the treatment of neuro-metabolic diseases. This investment will finance the development of three compounds all the way through to 2016, including the phase IIb/III studies for a progressive multiple sclerosis treatment stemming from the Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Paris. It will also finance the development of an R&D platform in partnership with the Metabolomics Team at the Institute for Biology and Technology, Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA, Saclay). MedDay's technology platform relies on the work of Dr Frédéric Sedel, a neuroscientist at La Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris), who has been carrying out pioneering research in neurology to identify rare hereditary metabolic diseases in adults for more than a decade. Dr Frédéric Sedel's research has led to the identification of new treatments and diagnostic tools for diseases in a field where few treatments, if any, are available. These discoveries are expected to be applicable more broadly in the area of neuropsychiatric diseases. The company is currently incubated at l'Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle épinière in Paris (ICM).
Rafaèle Tordjman, Managing Partner at Sofinnova Partners says: "We are thrilled to contribute to MedDay's development and help further Dr Frédéric Sedel's research. His metabolic approach to neurologic diseases is radically new and will allow for the development of ground breaking solutions in a field which still suffers from significant unmet need".
Chahra Louafi, Investment Director at CDC Entreprises says: "We are convinced that MedDay will confirm the fantastic growth potential we can already foresee through the promising initial results observed in patients".
Dr Frédéric Sedel and Dr Guillaume Brion, co-founders of MedDay, add: "We are delighted to welcome Sofinnova Partners and InnoBio as shareholders. Their experience and commitment will allow us to further the development of our technology platform and products".
MedDay's fundraising will finance the phase IIb/III clinical trial of a treatment for progressive multiple sclerosis, MD 1003. Two other proprietary compounds will also benefit from this investment: MD 1103 targeting a subgroup of resistant psychoses and MD 1105 targeting Alzheimer's disease. The first two compounds have already proven their efficacy and tolerability in small patient groups. By choosing MedDay, CDC Entreprises illustrates InnoBio's strategy, which consists of supporting innovation within promising start ups and fostering the development of their products in fast growing and new markets. With MedDay, Sofinnova Partners deploys a key component of its investment strategy which focuses on funding entrepreneurs who are developing disruptive technologies or products in the biopharmaceutical, medical devices and industrial biotechnology fields.

Roar coach keeps future up in air
There was a time when Ange Postecoglou had to remind people about his achievements.
It seems no one will need any more hints after Postecoglou became the most successful coach in Australian domestic soccer history on Sunday.
But just where Postecoglou will add another chapter to his success story remains anyone's guess - including, he says, the man himself.
Linked to a lucrative deal at Melbourne Victory, Postecoglou looked to have received a fitting farewell at Brisbane Roar after they downed Perth Glory 2-1 at a packed Suncorp Stadium to become the first team to clinch back-to-back A-League titles.
He now boasts four national titles from as many grand finals, including two with South Melbourne in the old NSL in the late 1990s.
The stage was set for Postecoglou to make a triumphant sign-off - but even he did not know what his next move was.
And it seems he wouldn't have it any other way.
"If I am saying it is difficult (to leave the Roar), then the decision has been reached," he said.
"But from my point of view I am proud of the work we have done here.
"Once I complete the celebrations of this one, I will see what my next challenge is.
"It is part of my nature that I am always looking to see what I can do next - that restlessness I guess is what is causing the uncertainty at the moment.
"But that is just the way I am."
Postecoglou was a solid defender who earned four Socceroo caps and two national soccer titles - along with 193 appearances - with South Melbourne.
But as a coach Postecoglou has reached rarified air.
"I feel a bit silly because I keep bringing it up, but I just feel people have forgotten (about his coaching record)," Postecoglou said.
"It's what drives me as a coach - I am constantly trying to seek some credibility and leaving my mark.
"Four (titles) is great - I am really proud of that. It is almost overwhelming.
"When I started, I had some real ambition to do things that I hoped were great - I think I have made a little bit of a mark now which is great."
Asked point blank whether he was leaving for the Victory, Postecoglou said: "I am going to enjoy the moment.
"I think I deserve to bask in the celebrations in the next couple of days.
"When the time is right and I sit down and talk to the relevant people, the next move will be decided.
"I can understand the curiosity.
"(But) I haven't entertained any other thought but to coach this team to another championship - I think I deserve a day to enjoy that."

New Stone Sour Album Stream
Solid album just like Part 1. I love that they came back with this double album, Audio Secrecy had me worried there for a while.
First thing I thought of when I heard the intro noise to Black John was Bioshock. Guess that means I've been playing too much of it.
sounding pretty good so far, first track is intense
sweet album cory taylor goes yyyeeehheaaahhh
Can't wait to hear this. Gonna wait until the 9th so I can buy it (coupled with the new Volbeat) and really get a feel for it. Will be a great week of music.
Listened to it front to back today driving back and forth to my band rehearsal, my first impression is that it's better than part 1. I really am pumped to listen to both parts together
They have never done a song like Red City before its awesome
I'd say my favorites first listen are Red City, Black John, Gravesend, and surprisingly, Do Me A Favor (originally I couldn't stand it, but it works perfectly on the album, it's grown on me a lot)
All of those tracks rule yeah. The title track is easily one of the best songs they've done too.
This band is the last I would've expected an epic concept album from, and they pulled it off really well, kudos to them
it gets better on each listen.
I like better than pt. 1 so far
tis better
Does this sound anything like their self titled? Didn't listen to Part 1 because I just heard it just wasn't that good.
pt 1 is their 2nd best effort so far. cant wait to hear all this
The final track, House of Gold and Bones is intense. Awesome.
Nah, sounds like hogabpt.2 that opener is really something they haven't done before
Yeah its seriously awesome they really brought out their full potential on this double album which is great cause they were always capable of more than just being another mainstream rock band that the radio overplays to hell
I thought it was much more poppier. I preferred pt1 personally
title track is glorious
title track is a beast
Not bad from first listen
The first track sounds interesting, might have to go back and listen to the first part to get the concept.
Not getting the hype for the title track though, unless there's another part to it it seems like sort of a crappy closer, especially for a concept album. But then again maybe I should actually listen to the full album.
i woke up today WITH A GUN
Man, I'm not really feeling any of these songs. I guess I understand that it's supposed to "flow" like a soundtrack and it's probably better in that context, but I'm pretty bored upon first listen of most of these songs.. nothing stands out so far.
I guess i'll give it another listen or two.
don't waste your time
I somehow don't like their sound anymore, too bad.

A NEW bargain tablet computer to rival the iPad was unveiled yesterday — and
The Sun was among the first to test it.
The £159 Nook HD has the highest definition screen ever for a 7 in model. The
Nook HD Plus has a 9in screen — closer in size to the standard Apple iPad —
and costs £229. The Nooks' US maker Barnes & Noble is set to
launch them in Britain in November.
It is the latest cut-price device to take on the iPad, which costs from £399
to £629.
In recent months Google has launched its £159 Nexus 7 tablet and Amazon has
the £129 Kindle Fire. Microsoft is also set to release its Surface tablets
next month.
The Nook tablet is coming out at an unbelievable price so the question is —
has the maker cut corners?
There is no camera, the processor is slower than the iPad and the screen
doesn't feel as slick when scrolling around. But it is still fast for web
browsing and easy to watch downloaded movies or TV shows, read books, listen
to music and play games.
Barnes & Noble doesn't need to make money selling the devices.
It wants people to buy content from its iTunes-like store.

Philip and Maude (Yates) Smith Family
Submitted by Michael Moore firstname.lastname@example.com
My grandmother, Maude (Yates) Smith who lived in Hanging Rock prior to 1902 was a member of the Methodist Church there, and married Philip Callahan Smith, whose family lived in Ironton. She dictated the following to me some 45 years ago on a rainy Sunday afternoon:
1. Maude Smith (1881-1966) was one of 8 children born to James Buchanan Yates (1856-1901) and Anna Perry (1857-1946). James is buried in Hanging Rock cemetery and Anna in Greenlawn cemetery, Portsmouth. Also buried with James are Maude and the oldest of her 5 children, Ralph Smith (1903-1941).

Library budget passes easily
By Melissa Hale-Spencer
GUILDERLAND Ever since the Guilderland library became a public library with taxing powers, taxpayers have supported its budget. The tradition continued Tuesday for the 22nd year.
Voters passed the $3.13 million budget with 65 percent voting "yes" 2,133 to 1,136.
The 2009-10 plan is 3.6 percent higher than the current budget, which the library's director, Barbara Nichols Randall, pointed out is less of an increase than the Consumer Price Index increase of 4.45 percent.
She said, even as library use increases during the recession, the library's board of trustees built the budget with taxpayers' economic hardship in mind.
With state aid down, gifts and grants in decline, and interest on investments plummeting, the lion's share of the budget will come from property taxes $2.86 million. This represents a 2.5-percent increase over the current levy.
Tax rates for the current year for Guilderland residents were estimated at 90 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Nichols Randall estimates that next year's rate will be under a dollar.
Two candidates ran for two seats on the library's 11-member board of trustees. The posts are unpaid and carry a five-year term.
Barbara Fraterrigo has been on the board since the library had an elected board. She garnered 2,518 votes on Tuesday.
Brian Wheeler is making his first run for public office. He received 2,411 votes.
"A few years ago, I wouldn't have given it a second thought," said Wheeler last month. "Now that I've got children, I want to see them well educated."
Wheeler and his wife, Liza, have a 16-month-old son and another baby due soon. Originally from Horseheads, N.Y., Wheeler works in information technology (IT) for the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.
Fraterrigo, too, first got interested in the library because of her children.
She grew up in Massachusetts, and graduated from Emmanuel College in Boston with a major in chemistry and biology and a minor in teaching. She taught pre-med students embryology at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
She and her husband, Philip, a doctor, moved to Guilderland in 1972. They have five children.
"The schools here were wonderful," said Fraterrigo, also a long-time Guilderland School Board member. "But there was a one-room library. "We had to go to Bethlehem or Albany for the kids' schoolwork."
Fraterrigo helped with the move to make the free library into a school district library, giving it the power to tax and have an elected board. Fraterrigo was elected to the first board in 1988 and has been a trustee ever since.
"Education and books have always been the love of my life," she said.

(RSF/IFEX) - On 20 January 2006, Tunisian authorities seized all copies of the weeklies "al Maoukif" and "Akhbar al Joumhouria" from newsstands.
"This seizure proves that the repeal of copyright registration - previously used as a means to control the contents of publications - is a sham", said Reporters Without Borders.
"The interior ministry can seize any newspaper at any time, inflicting serious financial damage on the press and once again proving President Ben Ali's determination to gag journalists. We urge the Tunisian authorities to halt this practice", RSF added.
"Al-Maoukif" is published by the opposition Democratic Progressive party and is sold within the country, displaying a surprising outspokenness in a particularly drab media landscape. Its circulation is however limited to less than 5,000.
Party secretary general and publisher, Néjib Chebbi, told Reporters Without Borders that he had not been informed of the seizure by the authorities. He added that the weekly carried no "illegal" or "defamatory" news. He added that he was personally the target of a defamation campaign in the government press.
The weekly "Akhbar al Joumhouria" was seized for carrying an article in the form of an open letter to President Ben Ali, referring to a corruption case relating to the assigning of Ford and Isuzu concessions and implicating people close to the head of state.
Authorities seize two weeklies

When Anthony Fera announced he'd take advantage of an NCAA sanction against Penn State and transfer without penalty to Texas, the Longhorns hoped to get from Fera what the Nittany Lions had gotten.
He was one of the Big Ten's top kickers, nailing 14 of 17 field goals and averaging 42 yards a punt.
But, his first season at Texas was somewhat of a football disaster. Fera was injured much of the year and made only 2-of-4 field goal attempts all season. He also missed two extra points.
According to the Dallas Morning News, his status has been downgraded this spring. Nick Rose and Nick Jordan are competing for the starting job, while Fera is focusing on punting. He didn't punt last season for UT.
Coach Mack Brown said that Fera wouldn't kick until this summer, the time away hopefully serving as an opportunity for Fera to regain the physical and mental form that made him so good just two seasons ago.
"We are not discouraged, we are not giving up on him, but we thought we need him well so we can go back and see the guy we saw at Penn State," Brown told the Dallas Morning News. "Yes, he will punt. Today if were punting, he could punt. And he's punting every day in practice. He is not kicking field goals as of yet."

Before entering a debate on this question, I want to know who is asking. An Italian grandma from Florence, a yuppie from New York or an entrepreneur trying to open a restaurant. Each will have a different perspective and standard for evaluating the dining experience.
The native will recognize Italian food is based on regions and availability of fresh ingredients. While our perception is northern or southern cooking styles, in reality Italian food is broken down into at least a dozen different styles. Regions depend on distance from the sea, upland, lowland, mountains, weather, ability to import from other regions and access to spices and ingredients not native to the country.
Americans have adopted a view of Italian food that generally revolves around pasta, which was never a universal ingredient in Italy and not even utilized as a regular ingredient until the 18th or 19th century. The "Americanization" of Italian cooking follows most other ethnic trends based upon common availability of ingredients in this country. The average diner looks for a perceived combination of sauces, starches, proteins and spices to call a dish Italian. So when evaluating a great Italian restaurant, the native American may have a totally different answer to the basic question.
The entrepreneur who is starting to put together a menu for his "authentic" Italian restaurant will have a wide range of options to consider. First, what will his demographics look like? If he is in the middle of Little Italy in New York or Chicago, his cuisine will be much different than in Ft. Myers, Florida. The second consideration will be the availability of ingredients and the impact of those imported necessities that will impact his price points.
As you can see, the question depends on the ethnicity and motivation of the person asking. For those of us who have adopted the Olive Garden, Romano's and Pizza Hut as "Italian" restaurants, may not be the ones who should be answering. Our taste buds and may not have the same palate sensitivities that the back streets of Rome command.
Now, hand me another slice of that pepperoni and cheese pizza!

SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - August 16, 2016) - DISCERN, the leader in Insights-as-a-Service for investment professionals and corporate executives, today announced that DISCERN Real Estate Insights-as-a-Service provides financial decision-makers with critical signals, visual analytics and insights about opportunities and risks in real estate markets as investors prepare for the new Real Estate GICS on August 31, 2016.
Industry insiders believe adding the new Real Estate sector to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®), could be the biggest shift in equity asset allocations to hit the financial industry in 15 years. Many experts also predict that the new 11th headline-level sector may have a greater impact...
TCO P/NAV Spread to REIT Sector Below -2 Standard Deviations over 1-, 2-, 3- and 10-yr time frames
The chart below generated using the DISCERN Energy Platform shows Murphy's Eagle Ford completions improving dramatically through much of 2015. This is based on initial 24-hour oil rates and suggests that more recent data could give a read on first quarter 2016 results in the region...
The second look at 4Q15 continued to reflect an economy that is growing, but that growth is subpar economic growth and the outlook calls for more of the same. That means there should continue to be job growth, but not growth that is not strong enough to meaningfully increase participation rates and income growth rates
Cognitive computing, in all its manifold expressions, has existed for quite some time. There are numerous publications citing its influence on the data experience, and in particular its utility for simplifying organizational processes that were previously tedious.
What's swiftly evolving in the realm of cognitive computing, and which will begin to manifest in earnest during 2017, is the scope of its value to the enterprise, which has traditionally focused exclusively on inanimate data. Partly due to its newfound accessibility to the enterprise via the cloud, and partly due to emergent efforts to extend its boundaries beyond IT systems to the humans that empower them, artificial intelligence is inexorably advancing to combine the best of human leadership alongside its automation capabilities.

I dont know much about structures so i need help.
I am making a database.....for say WAL-MART.
WHat I am trying to do is to read from a file (WMinventory.dat) and send data from the file to a structure, but I get a bunch of error which i still havent been able to fix.
To make it easier for me i took the programme down to its simplest form.....i cant even read one line from the file.
Heres my STructure:
Heres the first 6 lines from my data file.Code:typedef struct{ char name [50]; float price; int noofItems; char expiry; char type; char detail; }structure;
Heres my attempt....i am trying to read one line (Sony 29" TV) and put it in (char name [50].Code:Sony 29" TV 699.99 5 N/A Electronic Flat Screen WEGA
When i try to compile i get this error:Code:#define dataFileName "WMinventory.dat" #define MAXchar (100) void loadData(structure ,FILE *); FILE *open_file(char [], char []); int main(void) { structure inventory; FILE *dataFile; dataFile = open_file(dataFileName ,"r"); loadData(inventory,dataFile); puts(inventory.name); fclose(dataFile); getchar(); return 0; } void loadData(structure inventory,FILE *dataFile) { fgets(inventory.name, MAXchar,dataFile); } FILE *open_file(char fileName[], char accessType[]) { FILE *fptr; if ( NULL == (fptr = fopen(fileName, accessType))) { puts("FILE OPEN ERROR:"); puts(fileName); puts("\n"); system ("pause"); abort(); } return fptr; }
" undefined reference to `loadData(structure*, _iobuf*)' "
If i figure this out the rest of the program will become easier....any help would be appreciated.
[EDIT:] Changed a few things around and now I get this error:
"cannot convert `structure' to `structure*' for argument `1' to `void loadData(structure*, FILE*)"
[EDIT:] Changed some more things and now i'm stuck....the program runs but prints out some garbage...._"3½┬wHô├8="

EATON TWP. — Sports and other extracurricular activities could be eliminated in the Midview school district if voters don't pass a levy next year, school officials said Wednesday night.
If sports are eliminated, athletes would be free to transfer to other districts, said David Zunis, school board president.
The complete list of $2.3 million in cuts for the 2013-14 school year will be released in a couple of weeks by Superintendent John Kuhn.
Kuhn spoke of "devastating cuts to staff," saying more than 40 employees could be let go.
"Personally I cannot apologize enough to the families and the individuals whose jobs will be eliminated," Kuhn said, his voice filled with emotion.
The school day of 7½ hours could be slashed to 5 to 5½ hours and advanced placement classes and other electives such as French and business courses could be eliminated.
A crowd of about 125 people, including about 25 students, were shocked and upset.
Monica Ondo said her son Jeffrey "could be screwed out of living his dream."
"My son's in track; he's looking at schools, and he wants to go to the Olympics," Ondo said.
She pleaded for school officials to institute full pay-to-play instead of eliminating sports, but Zunis said that couldn't take place. Even with the current $550 per-sport cost, the district still picks up 55 percent of the cost of offering sports, he said.
One by one, students got up to speak about the possibility of a shortened school day without activities such as dances, clubs or field trips.
"The special events bring us together as a school," Molly Albright said.
Trinity Harrison-Clark said students don't have any say in what will be eliminated.
"This really hurts us," she said.
Morgan Kubisch said she was frightened about the effect on her future.
"Cheerleading, French Club and Environmental Club can make the difference about whether I get into my choice of college," she said.
Justin Caitham pleaded for the continuation of the music program, and pledged to help future levy campaigns.
In a meeting that lasted three hours, board members wrestled with issues such as whether spring sports and activities would be eliminated.
They also discussed whether to leave a 9.75-mill property tax levy before voters in a special election in February. The tax would raise $4.6 million a year for 10 years and keep current programs in place for at least four years.
It has been 19 years since voters in the Midview Schools approved new money, and Midview could rank dead last in the state in spending per pupil if the cutbacks take place, officials said.
The possibility of being at the bottom in spending statewide shocked audience member Lisa Carter, who said, "This is ridiculous, it makes me cringe."
"Leave it on, please," Carter said of the February special election. "I don't think it will be a waste."
In a show of hands, most of those attending wanted the district to try for the new money in February, even though the special election would cost about $32,000.
Board member James Barnhart said, "I don't think you miss any opportunities."
Zunis said, "If it does pass, the devastation will be avoided."
If the district waits until May, the district would likely have to ask for more than 10 mills because of new property valuations, officials said.
In recent weeks, Midview Schools received a letter from the state asking what steps would be taken by the district to avoid looming deficits. The district's answer is due next month.
The district could be placed on fiscal watch, and the state would make the cuts if it is unable to slash its budget or bring in new revenue.
On Nov. 6, a combination income tax and property tax for Midview Schools failed 5,723 to 3,606, or 61 percent to 39 percent.
In another show of hands, the majority of audience members favored a property tax over an income tax. Some were concerned that some households with two wage earners would be doubly hit by the income tax.
November's issue would have raised $4.2 million a year for the district beginning in 2013.
Spriggs said the district is seeking $4.6 million a year with the new issue because if the levy passes in February or May, none of the money would be collected until 2014.
The next school board meeting is 6:30 p.m. Dec. 19 in the Midview West Elementary cafeteria.
The next meeting of the Compass Committee, which will promote the levy to the community, is 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Midview West Music room.

In computers the command lines of all sorts use a space as the character used to separate arguments. See
command line
in the wiki. Thus it is a reserved character. However, like other special characters there are ways to make it not special. In windows command shells or Unix you need to place the whole file name in quotes to remove the special meaning. Even though you are using a click to select a name the underlying code must turn that into a string of characters and this is where the special processing is required. A name to a computer is a word and two words are two names. Even people sometimes have problems in parsing information where two names are to be treated as one name (word).

By Dr. KENNETH POPLER
Congratulations to Assemblyman Michael Cusick and Sen. Andrew Lanza for their leadership in sponsoring the I-STOP legislation, which will allow for more informed prescription practices for physicians and pharmacists.
Staten Island is the epicenter of prescription drug abuse in New York City and State. Our borough has the highest rate of filled opioid analgesic (pain medication) prescriptions.
In 2010 there were 46,281 filled prescriptions per 100,000 Staten Island residents. That's almost one filled prescription for every two residents. Our rate is more than double the rate of three of the four remaining boroughs.
The I-STOP legislation, once enacted, will provide a real-time and user-friendly data base that gives physicians and pharmacists information about each patient's prescription history, re-classifies the most potent drugs, and establishes a safe drug disposal program.
Never in recent memory has there been such a strong bipartisan achievement than the one realized by these two representatives from Staten Island.
They were able to garner the support of the leadership of each of their respective legislative houses as well as that of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The legislation passed both houses unanimously and is waiting for the governor's signature.
We are very grateful to you both.
[The writer, a clinical psychologist, is the president and CEO of the Staten Island Mental Health Society, which sponsors the Teen Center, a state licensed substance abuse treatment program for teens and young adults.]

If work continues to proceed according to plan, more than 2,000 vehicles carrying South Carolina football fans should be allowed to park at the Farmers Market site this upcoming season for the seven home football games on the schedule.
By the time demolition of the buildings is finished in early September, only one structure, a large green shed in the far corner of the property, will be left standing.
"For this football season, it will be a flat parking lot except for the shed," USC Executive Associate AD Kevin O'Connell told Gamecock Central earlier this week.
USC officials hope the bidding process for the right to build up the property will take place by the end of the summer, and for work to begin soon after the final home football game against Clemson on Nov. 26.
Advertising for construction companies to bid on the Farmers Market project is tentatively scheduled for late summer.
The school has budgeted $15.5 million for the project, but considering the state of the economy that price could decrease when the bids are finally opened.
When completed in 2012, the Farmers Market will contain enough parking spots for about 3,000 vehicles and feature a "green" recreational area with a stage for concerts.
Also, the Gamecock Walk prior to home football games will start at the Farmer's Market. Most vehicles that now park adjacent to Williams-Brice Stadium will be moved across the street in 2012. This season, most vehicles will continue to park next to the stadium.
Meanwhile, construction in Phase II of the Athletic Village is well underway. The 300-space parking garage adjacent to the Dodie should be completed in July, while the sparkling tennis complex is expected to be finished by the middle of August in time for the start of the fall season.
Student parking will be permitted on levels 4 and 5 of the garage, O'Connell said.
As a result, both the men's and women's tennis programs should be able to play their fall schedules at the state-of-the-art facility.
Construction of the three-story, 66,000 square foot administration (a/k/a coaches support) building started a couple of months ago and the $8.1 million structure is now 15 percent complete. The building is scheduled to open in the summer of 2012.
Good weather has helped construction proceed along at a brisk pace, Hyman said. The entire steel frame for the much-needed building (it will replace the outdated and deteriorating Roundhouse) is expected to be in place by the end of June.
Rodgers Builders, Inc. of Charlotte, NC, one of the country's 200 largest construction companies, is the general contractor for the project. Their most visible project to date has been the Billy Graham Library, which opened in 2007.
"The construction company has been moving at it very quickly," Hyman said. "They're a very big company. I don't know if they have a huge number of projects going on right now, so they've been able to put their focus and resources into a few projects and that has sped things up."
While work continues at the Roost/Athletics Village and across the street from Williams-Brice Stadium, the locker rooms for the men's and women's basketball teams inside Colonial Life Arena are undergoing significant renovations costing $1 million.
Major benefactor Dodie Anderson donated the money to pay for the upgrades, which are supposed to be completed in time for the start of the 2011-2012 season.
Upgrades to the softball stadium and football practice facility (the Proving Ground) both received Phase I approval in April at the most recent Board of Trustees meeting and are now weaving their way through the state government process.
Both projects will be presented to the State Budget and Control Board (SCBCB) on June 14. Once the SCBCB signs off on the projects, bidding for the architectural work will commence. No contracts may be entered into with an architect until the SCBCB gives their blessing.
Eventually, the marathon 18-month approval process will shift into Phase II when funding for the projects is sought. O'Connell said that stage won't begin "for quite a while."
The extensive renovations to the softball stadium (Beckham Field) are tentatively expected to cost about $8 million, while the upgrades to the Proving Ground are estimated to be $1.5 million.
New batting cages are planned for Beckham Field along with substantial improvements to the stadium itself. The enhancements are required by Title IX since USC spent over $40 million building Carolina Stadium with three indoor batting cages for the baseball program.
The outdoor football practice facility is plagued by poor drainage, turning the two practice fields into a swamp whenever it rains for a lengthy period of time, and poor lighting.
Hyman is negotiating a long-term extension to the lease for use of the Proving Ground with the S.C. National Guard. The current lease runs through 2014 and Hyman said he plans to seek a five-year extension.
"We're all on the same wavelength conceptually, it's just a matter of getting the details," Hyman said. "We're waiting to hear back from the Corps of Engineers. If we're going to make that kind of commitment, you have to have that long-term lease. It's a work in progress."
With the USC athletic department focusing their efforts on the new administration building, tennis complex, softball stadium, Proving Ground and Farmer's Market, a new indoor facility for the football team is on the back burner and years away from being realized.
According to sources, a new indoor facility with a 100-yard practice field is projected to cost upwards of $15 million and, if built, will likely be located towards the rear of the renovated Farmers Market property.

I got a scathing e-mail about how dismissive we were about the Dollhouse DVR numbers. For the record, Bill wrote the post, but I didn't find it dismissive.
To remove a few F-bombs, the general essence of the e-mail was "What's wrong with you people! James Hibberd called the increases enormous, why are you sneezing at them?"
Why I am not a fan of the percentage increase metric:
Let's say Bill has $1 to his name and I give him another $1.
Bill has just increased his net worth by 100%! That sounds really good.
Now let's say Holly has $100,000 to her name and someone gives her $10,000. Forgetting about tax implications, Holly has increased her net worth by 10%
Lovers of percentage increase could spin yarns like "Bill improves his lot in life by 100%; Holly by a measly 10%!"
But any even remotely sane person would rather be in Holly's shoes than Bill's in that example.
Dollhouse DVR numbers in their proper context
Dollhouse's gains were enormous in the same way that Bill's gains in the above example were enormous. Not so enormous really, in absolute terms. The percentage increase due to DVR viewing of 50% only appears striking because of the small base it grew from.
Indeed, anyone who watched Dollhouse's DVR viewing last year would have predicted the .5 adults 18-49 rating increases because that's what happened almost every week of the first season!
FOX surely predicted that itself, but surely hoped for better than the live+SD adults 18-49 rating for the season premiere of a 1.0 (and even lower the next week and back up to a 1.0 this past Friday).
In the absolute, the .5 adults 18-49 rating increase was fairly pedestrian and middle of the pack as far as increases due to DVR viewing.
Grey's Anatomy had as many 18-49 year olds watch its premiere on DVR after the night it aired as Dollhouse had for ALL its Live+7 viewing. Grey's increases to adults 18-49 ratings were three times that of Dollhouse. That's right, Grey's 18-49 viewing after the day it aired was 300% better than Dollhouse's!
Dollhouse is like Bill in the example above and Grey's is like Holly. Dollhouse ratings increased by 50% due to DVR while Grey's increased by "only" 22%.
Whose ratings would you rather have?
I'm not dismissive of Dollhouse's DVR numbers
Given the low viewer base, the .5 increases for Dollhouse really are impressive. I doubt they are impressive enough to save it unless the show can grow from a 1.0 live+SD rating. I am not dismissive of the .5 increase, I am dismissive of the 1.0 live+SD rating.
I am also completely dismissive of any real focus on percentage increases. James Hibberd writes the following:
But executives often compare how much a show gained relative to its initial live-plus-same-day number, and to boost your rating by 50% is huge (by comparison, last season's "Dollhouse" premiere gain was 30%).
First, I'd like to believe the real executives at FOX have as much grasp of basic math as I have. I'm pretty sure they do. Dollhouse's gains were up this premiere relative to the series premiere last February because the live+SD viewing dropped by 50%. Sadly for Dollhouse fans, that's the key metric to focus on here, not the DVR ratings increases.
The first season premiere went from a 2.0 adults 18-49 rating to a 2.6 rating once the full week of DVR was factored in, a 30% gain. It almost doubled to a 50% gain this year because of the aforementioned 100% drop in Live+SD viewing.
PR executives perhaps often compare how much a show gained in percentage increases, but besides the PR executives (and other executives, only for the purposes of PR) no other executives focus on those numbers nearly as much as James does. They care about absolute gains. Bank on it.
Unless you would rather go from $1 to $2 than from $100,000 to $110,000 just because the percentage increase of the $1 gain sounds so much better to you!

Religion may still be an off-limits topic for some people, but organizations can't afford to ignore the subject. Diversity practitioners attending the Conference Board's Council on Inclusive Work Environments (CIWE) in November explored the importance of taking steps to accommodate and support faith as part of their organizations' diversity and inclusiveness strategies. Meeting discussions elicited four basic principles for organizations to consider when developing a faith-friendly strategy.
First, religious accommodation is a legal requirement; it is not about endorsing a specific belief system: Deb Volberg Pagnotta, a legal human rights expert, told the CIWE that federal and provincial human rights laws prohibit discrimination in the workplace based on religion. For example, under the Ontario Human Rights Code, employers are required to accommodate employees who are unable to work certain days for religious reasons, unless the employer can demonstrate that it would cause it undue hardship to do so. In addition to religious leave, employers may be asked to consider requests related to issues such as dress code flexibility and breaks for religious observance or prayer.
However, Nouman Ashraf, Director of the Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Office at the University of Toronto, emphasized that "accommodating and celebrating spiritual traditions and holidays does not constitute an endorsement of a specific belief system, just as supporting women or those with different levels of ability and sexual preferences does not translate into a corporate statement of preferential treatment."
Second, faith is not too personal for the workplace: Some organizations are hesitant to visibly support religious diversity because faith is "too private." Consequently, they respond reactively to religious requests rather than proactively supporting faith at work. Yet organizations have grown to support diversity related to grounds such as sexual orientation that were once also considered private or personal. Today, leading organizations recognize that, for many employees, faith is an essential aspect of their identities and an integral part of who they are. Respectfully acknowledging their faith is fundamental to engaging the whole person.
Third, culture and faith are not one and the same: Many organizations assume that religious diversity is addressed under cultural diversity policies and training. Nadir Shirazi, President of Multifacet Diversity Solutions, stressed that religious affiliation is not synonymous with culture; therefore, training in religious diversity is required, particularly as the workplace becomes increasingly multicultural and global. In addition, some workers choose religions or belief systems outside of their cultural and family traditions. Nadir noted that organizations also need to be aware that even people who share the same faith will practise it in different ways.
Fourth, acknowledging religious diversity can benefit the company: The Ford Motor Company, viewed by many as a leader in supporting faith diversity, connects its faith-based efforts to its business goals. Dan Dunnigan, Chair of Ford's Interfaith Network, told the council how Ford's faith-friendly initiatives have helped the company attract and retain valued employees. He noted how one Ford employee summed up the benefits: "My faith is the foundation of who I am as a human being. It is deeply important to me and guides how I choose to live my life, the quality of my work, [and] everything I do, and the company honours and embraces that."
There are also opportunities for organizations to encourage employee faith groups to get involved in community activities, such as food drives, violence prevention programs, and green initiatives. Supporting their efforts can further an organization's corporate social responsibility goals.
Senior management support and a strong diversity policy that is aligned with business values and goals are prerequisites for creating a faith-inclusive environment. Effective faith diversity strategies are proactive and go beyond the requirements of compliance; they are designed to help the organization value, strengthen, and respect religious differences. A study by the Society for Human Resource Management1 found that employee morale, retention, and loyalty are the factors most positively affected when companies grant religious accommodations to workers. By embracing religious diversity, employers can leverage the unique talents, knowledge, and backgrounds of their workers to gain a competitive advantage during this turbulent economic time.

Jon Cryer's ex-wife wants $88,000 in child support so son can 'compete with his peers'
Jon Cryer's ex-wife Sarah Trigger wants a little more money in child support for their own little half-man. Instead of the $8,000 she was getting, she now wants $88,000 PER MONTH. You know, just walking around money.
British actress Trigger, who is currently unemployed, made the request for son Charlie because she was granted 50 percent custody in June, her lawyer Keith Simpson told the New York Daily News. Prior to that, she only had the boy 4 percent of the time, he said (the pair divorced in 2004 after being married five years).
"It's not that she wants this for herself. The child is 13 years old right now, and you have one parent earning an extraordinary income and the other parent with a normal income, and at that age, children are able to recognize who's able to provide what," Simpson said. "The reality is that when the child is with his father, he's able to compete on a level playing field with his peers, and when he's with his mother, he's not."
His peers fo to the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, an educational institution filled to bursting with Hollywood kids. The do things like have giant Bar Mitzvahs and take vacations to other countries. You know, normal kid stuff.
"The child needs to be able to compete with his peers 100 percent of the time, and that means mom being able to afford to buy the things his peers receive," Simpson added, "I don't think it's really healthy for there to be such a disparity. This is really about the child's best interest."
The request will go to court next year, unless Cryer and Trigger can reach a settlement. Jon's new wife Lisa Joyner and their adopted daughter may have a few suggestions on that front.

Editorial: Do the undo
The gavel came down Tuesday to open what Gov. Mark Dayton has dubbed the "Unsession." He wants to get rid of bad laws on the books — and there are several. They include some such as the warehouse tax that he signed last year.
His official website reads: The Unsession is a first-of-its-kind effort to make government better, faster, simpler and more efficient for people. We want to improve service, shorten wait times, eliminate old and outdated rules, and undo anything else that makes government nearly impossible for people to understand.
We encourage lawmakers and citizens to take the concept seriously.
Contact Sen. Matt Schmit, DFL-Red Wing, at email@example.com or 651-296-4264. Reach Reps. Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, at email@example.com or 651-296-2273 and Tim Kelly, R-Red Wing at 651-380-4345 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
In some respects, it's an election campaign tactic, but that doesn't mean the idea lacks merit.
There are plenty of sexist, racist, impractical and archaic laws on the books.
Get rid of them.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) was gaining 1.8% to $3.88 Tuesday after Ascendiant Capital initiated its coverage of the chipmaker.
Analyst Cody G. Acree started coverage of AMD for the analyst firm, giving the company a "buy" rating and a price target of $5. Acree wrote "While we are not expecting any singular dramatic near-term catalyst, we do see the company working through a methodic restructuring and repositioning that has already reduced spending and earned significant wins that are driving growth at Sony (SNE), Microsoft (MSFT), Verizon (VZ), Apple (AAPL) and others."
Acree notes that AMD's restructuring reduced headcount by 15% and lowered operating expenses by 26%. The restructuring also helped make the chipmaker cash flow positive.
The analyst believes that AMD's new APU chips can help it "regain a moderate share" of the consumer PC market.

TheStreet Ratings team rates ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES as a Sell with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES (AMD) a SELL. This is driven by a number of negative factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been very high debt management risk by most measures."

(Movie Review by Edward Lee) Love drives human beings wild. Ever since the first two people fell in love, love has been full of equal parts splendor and monotony, passion and indifference, sanity and danger, and loyalty and treachery. Despite what love does — despite how attached we grow to one another or the challenges we face as a result of — we inevitably lose it to something or someone else. In the cruelest possible scenario, we lose our love to time, and a scar grows hard and thick across our hearts as we promise, "Never again, never again."
Still, we're a foolish lot. We find love again (or it finds us), and it takes us back into its feverish grip with our blessings. We love again and again and again. With each new love, we grow only more optimistic that we'll find tomorrow and the day after, each time searching with a simple hope that we'll experience the tiniest fraction of what we felt that very first time. Of course it doesn't always work out that way, but we try nevertheless.
Chen Ching (Tony Leung Ka Fai, recently in Fruit Chan's "Dumplings") is a poet who composes almost lyrical works on the topic of love. It's on the strength of Ching's written words that Zhou Yu (Gong Li) falls for him sight unseen. Intent on finding him, Zhou takes off on her own adventure, riding the train to Ching's hometown, where she manages to track him down at a local poetry reading. As fate would have it, he's instantly attracted to her as well, and the two strangers decide to act on their desires. Since they live in towns far apart, they agree to meet twice a week, and each time Zhou must take the same train to see him.
During one of her trips to Ching, Zhou is accidentally bumped into by Dr. Zhang Jiang (Sun Honglei), a slightly unkempt but humbled veterinarian who breaks a vase she is carrying to her lover. The good doctor is perhaps everything that Zhou's revered poet isn't: rough around the edges, somewhat extroverted, and decidedly fixed in his opinions. Interested in her, he strikes up a conversation (what man wouldn't?), and despite her rebuffs, he forces himself into her life, first trying to respect her affections for Ching, and then playing on them. His persistence is enough to arouse her unexpected fascination, forcing Zhou to spend the rest of her days — so far as the picture is concerned — torn between two lovers in a wondrous dreamlike state.
"Zhou Yu's Train" is the type of film that may require repeat viewing in order to take in all that the story offers. The story examines the classic love triangle — the collision of three complex relationships — and it isn't necessarily told in the most accessible fashion. It's complicated on many levels, and is about the minds of two entirely different men, as well as the minds of two entirely different women (Zhou and Xiu, the film's narrator, also played by Gong Li). It's about what propels each of these characters to do the wild, crazy, and unpredictable things that they do, all in the name of love.
While one could hardly argue with the notion that there are parts of the film which appears slightly uneven or, at least mildly out of context, the film still musters a perspective worth the view, which is that if you blink in life, you might miss something far more important, far better explored and far more endearing. The film explores this theme with its visuals, most notably the rapidly passing countryside through the window of the train that Zhou travels in. Also, it's easy to argue that what's happening in the lives of these characters cannot be fully appreciated until the film's final moments.
Regardless of the outcome, the casual viewer may be puzzled, but what's perfectly clear is Gong Li's mastery of playing fully developed, thinking female characters. As well, Sun Honglei's breakthrough performance should give him plenty of future work. They are both excellent in "Zhou Yu's Train", a tale that is more about the journey rather than the destination. In the interest of her sanity, Zhou seeks the answers to questions that plague us all: am I loved, will I be loved, and what does it mean to have been loved?
Of course the best scenery of them all is Gong Li herself, who was recently in Wong-Kar Wai's "2046", and will soon be seen in Rob Marshall's "Memoirs of a Geisha" alongside Zhang Ziyi in both women's Hollywood debut. As has been the case for cinema lovers worldwide since she rose to prominence with Zhang Yimou's "Raise the Red Lantern," Li exemplifies the same kind of irrepressible screen charm most often reserved for Hollywood's legendary film actresses. Every frame she occupies is draped in a kind of regal beauty, an effortless grace meant to be seen and appreciated in each of her big and small moments onscreen. If you're a fan of her work, then "Train" is definitely your kind of ride.
Director Sun Zhou sacrifices 'the easy way out' in telling this story because, in matters of the heart, there are no easy ways. Love has never been about moving from Point A to Point B, but rather the bittersweet passage from one uncharted human heart to another.

The Hivites were one group of descendants of Canaan, son of Ham, according to the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 (esp. 10:17).
Genesis 15:18-21 does not list the Hivites as being in the land that was promised to the descendants of Abraham.[1] However, some 100 years later, Genesis 36:2 mentions that one of Esau's wives was "Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite" who is also described as "of the daughters of Canaan". The reference to "the daughters of Canaan" is considered to relate to their descent from the ancestor Canaan and to be a reference to a cultural distinctiveness or tribal affiliation, more than a reference to the geographical area of Canaan. By the time that Jacob returns with his family to Canaan, Genesis 34 describes Hivites as rulers of the region of Shechem.
From the Book of Joshua, we know that the Hivites were one of seven national groups living in the land of Canaan when the Israelites under Joshua commenced their conquest of the land. (Joshua 9:1) They are referred to as one of the seven nations to be removed from the land of Canaan - Hittites (Neo-Hittites), Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (Exodus 34:11, 23:23, Deuteronomy 7:1-3) - and whose land had been promised to the Children of Israel. (Exodus 3:8) However, it appears that Hivites continued to be a separate cultural group within the land of Israel until at least the time of Solomon, and it is not clear if, when or how they ceased to be a separate group before the Israelite kingdoms came to an end.
No name resembling Hivite has yet been found in Egyptian or Babylonian inscriptions.
According to the Table of Nations (Genesis 10), the Hivites are one of the descendants of Canaan, son of Ham. (Also 1 Chronicles 1:13-15)
A possible origin of the name may come from the Hebrew word chava ( חוה ) which means tent dweller.
There appears to be a possible connection (or confusion) between the Hivites and the Horites. In Genesis 36:2 a Hivite named Zibeon is also described in Genesis 36:20-30 as a Horite. Others claim that this is as a result of a scribal error, as both Hivites (Hebrew: חוי ) and Horites (Hebrew: חרי) differ in spelling by one letter of roughly similar shape. According to traditional Hebrew sources, the name "Hivites" is related to the Aramaic word "Khiv'va" (HVVA), meaning "snake", since they sniffed the ground like snakes looking for fertile land.
Scholars have sought to identify the biblical Hivites with (a) the Greek Achaeans known from Homer; (b) the Hurrians – one of the most important peoples in the ancient Near East – who are otherwise unmentioned in the Hebrew Bible; or (c) settlers, who went to Shechem and the other locations from Cilicia, a region in Asia Minor, which is called Kue in the Bible (1 Kings 10:28) and huwi in cuneiform sources.[2]
The Hivites dwelted in the mountainous regions of Canaan stretching from Lebanon – specifically Lebo Hamath (Judges 3:3) - and Mt. Hermon (Joshua 11:3) in the north to the central Benjamin plateau in the Hill country just north of Jerusalem. Within this region we find specific enclaves of Hivites mentioned in the Bible. Genesis 34 describes Hivites ruling the region of Shechem.
Further south there were the four Hivite towns – Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim (Joshua 9:17) – involved in the deception of Joshua. (Joshua 9:3-27)
Joshua 11:3 described the Hivites as being "under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh" and in 2 Samuel 24:7 they are mentioned immediately after "the stronghold of Tyre."
Cultural distinctiveness
Several key features can be inferred about the cultural distinctiveness of the Hivite peoples.
First, in Genesis 34:2 it is mentioned that Shechem the son of Hamor was a Hivite. In Genesis 34:14, we find that the Hivites did not practice male circumcision, one of the few peoples living in the land of Canaan that did not. Circumcision, as a practice was quite common among the peoples existing in the land of Canaan. Egyptians, Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, and other various proto-Canaanite tribes practiced male circumcision along with the Hebrews. Other than Israel's arch-nemesis – the Philistines – the Hivites appear to be an exception to the rule of circumcision which does lend them quite a distinction among the tribes of Canaan during this time period.
The Hivites continued to exist as a distinct people group at least until the time of David, when they were counted in a regional census taken at this time. (2 Samuel 24:1-7) During the reign of Solomon, they are described as part of the slave labor for his many building projects. (1 Kings 9:20-21, 2 Chronicles 8:7-8)
In Joshua 9, Joshua had ordered the Hivites of Gibeon to be wood gatherers and water carriers for the Temple of YHWH. However, there is no evidence of Hivite involvement in Temple of Solomon in later passages.
Deuteronomy 7:3 forbade Israelites from marrying Hivites, because they followed other gods; but it is not clear how strictly the prohibition was observed.
It appears that the Hivite cultural distinctiveness ceased before the Assyrian conquest of the northern Kingdom of Israel in the 8th century BCE, and the Babylonian conquest of the southern Kingdom of Judah in the 6th century BCE, each with consequential population deportations.

The most common spit-up problem in babyhood is gastroesophageal reflux. This happens when the junction between the stomach and the esophagus isn't as constricted or angled as it should be, and some of the stomach's contents wash back up into the esophagus. While most babies spit up a little when they burp after a feeding, in babies with reflux, the quantity and frequency can be significantly greater.
Now, you can usually get some signs from your child that there's a problem, depending on the age. Babies may arch their backs, trying to "get away" from the acid. They may also wheeze, cough, or have a hoarse cry, as acid is irritating to the throat and the voice box. Thankfully, kids usually outgrow reflux by the time they're eight or nine months old, when they are spending more time upright and the esophageal sphincter tightens up. In babies, there's no cause for concern or treatment unless she is in distress or not gaining weight. A lot of times, a baby's spit-up may look like the whole meal of milk he just ate, but it's really only a fraction.
