The only time you're really in a hurry and don't have time to wait forever, the computer and Internet go crazy. I can't load any images. Failed three times now. In the meantime, I wonder how long my traveling companion can hold out; he's ready to GO. And by the way, we're traveling in HIS car. It's a long walk from Ontario to North Carolina. Let's try to upload just the simple text of the obituary.
Revised Monday, 11 Aug 2008, 10:00
Yesterday morning, before leaving Kitchener, Canada, I was able to successfully upload the text of John "Jack" Dawson's obituary to my blog, but I couldn't upload any images until now. So, let me finish and include a few images, starting with a picture of the Kitchener (Ontario, Canada) Public Library, at 85 Queen Street. On the second floor is the Grace Schmidt Room which houses the collections of the Waterloo-Wellington Regional Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. From a book of Tombstone Inscriptions of Mount View Cemetery, Galt, Ontario, by Norma Huber, Jan 1995, I found the inscriptions for John R. Dawson, but not for his sister, Mrs. Emma Watson, or her husband, Thomas Watson. However, only the birth and death dates, 1886-1950, were given.
Unfortunately, the library does not have any indexes for obituaries, but they do have microfilms or actual copies of newspapers for the area. Unless you want to go through every newspaper's obit columns for a whole year, you will have to have a specific death date. I cell-phoned (a nice modern convenience for genealogists) the Galt (Cambridge) Cemetery office, as Mount View is owned and maintained by the city council. Doris at the office, 519-623-1340, ext 4655, told me that John Dawson died 30 June 1950, at age 63 years [born ~1887]. She also gave me the phone number of Little and Son Funeral Home at 319-623-1290.
Next, I found John's obituary in the library's archived newspaper collection, the text of which follows; [words in brackets are mine]:
OBIT: Galt Evening Reporter, Monday, 3 Jul 1950, page 9: "John Russell Dawson"
"Funeral Service was conducted today from the T. Little and Son Funeral Home for the late Jack Dawson who passed away June 30 [1950] at Galt Hospital. Mr. Dawson came to Canada from Durham, England, 39 years ago and has been employed at the Goldi North Works since that time. He served in the First World War with the 111th Battalion and was three and a half years over seas. Surviving are his wife, Jessie Trusler, and two sons, Jack and Roy, and two grandchildren, Jeanette and Brenda Dawson. One brother lives in England [Thomas] and a brother [James] and sister [Sarah Rebecca Pooler-Sipes] in the U.S. Also, several nieces and nephews. He was an adherent of Wesley United Church and the service this afternoon was conducted by the Reverend M.C. Parr. Pall bearers were Wilfred Watson, Robert Caves, Andrew Kidd, William Kinsman, Frank Morris, and James Weepers. Interment was in Mount View Cemetery."
Notes on obituary: Thus, John, called Jack, had two sons and two grandchildren in 1950. Where are they now? I found Jack's wife, Jessie, in the book of tombstone inscriptions but her year of death was not given. She must have died after this 1950 obituary was printed. A survivor who was NOT mentioned is Jack's sister, Mrs. Alma Emma (Dawson) Watson, who supposedly moved to Galt with Jack in 1912. Wilfred Watson, mentioned here as a pallbearer, was probably a relative. I was ready to deduce that Alma Emma had died before 1950, but the 1955 obituary of another brother in America, James Dawson, stated that his sister Mrs. Emma Watson was surviving and residing in Hamilton, Ontario. Did brother Jack and sister Emma have a falling out since she was not mentioned in his obituary?
Incidentally, I wish I had re-read James Dawson's obiturary (do not confuse with John or Jack). It is no wonder I could not find sister Emma's Tombstone in a Galt cemetery, because she evidently moved to Hamiton, Ontario, by 1955. We drove right through Hamilton to reach Kitchner, but we didn't have time to stop there anyway.
Before leaving the library, I perused the Galt City directories which begin in 1965, fifteen years after Jack Dawson died. There were no matches. Also, I briefly skimmed a few history books, such as "Kitchener, An Illustrated History", by John England and K. McCaughlin. Kitchener was settled by German Mennonites from Pennsylvania and Germany and later became the destination of many German immigrants. The new Berlin as it was first named was known as Canada's "German Capital". Berlin changed its name to Kitchener about 1916 because of anti-German sentiment during WW I. I saw a vintage picture of a sculptured bust of Kaiser Wilhelm being retrieved from the city's Victoria Lake named after the British crown. The city was in obvious turmoil because of the mixed feelings of its former immigrants.
On Sunday morning, my friend drove me to Mount View cemetery and helped me find the tombstone of what I should call at this point- my investigation. I stayed behind as I wanted to take more pictures and tour Galt/Cambridge, while Ben drove off to do more of his personal business. This meant I would have to eventually take the bus back to Kitchener.
The cemetery was beautifully landscaped; a marker indicated that the trees were donated by the Galt Horticulture Society in 1973.
Below is the tombstone for John "Jack" Russell Dawson, 1886-1950, and his wife, Jessie G. Trusler, 1898-(blank). The Council Office for the Cemetery has no information on a death date for Jessie- only that she purchased the lot back in 1950. I need to query the local funeral home. The OGS, Waterloo Branch, book of tombstone inscriptions mentioned that Dawson was the recipient of the Veterans Cross, but I could not find any evidence of this award at the grave site. A plant of annual, yellow Marigolds graced the tombstone, so apparently there is family in attendance.
One of the pall bearers at Jack Dawson's funeral was Wilfred Watson. His tombstone is also at Mount View: Wilfred, "father", 1914-1976.
There were several grand-looking churches in the former city of Galt. The churches with their tall steeples straddle the Grand River which runs through the center of the city. The city was merged with the political districts of Preston and Hespeler about 1975 to form the city of Cambridge. Though you will not find the city of "Galt" on a modern map of Ontario, you will see several references to Galt around the city. Below is the Trinity Methodist Anglican Church in Cambridge, formerly Galt. Jack Dawson was an "adherent of the Wesley United Church" according to his obituary. Perhaps a reader will inform me how the church pictured here fits into the Methodist community of Cambrige.

I realize that this entry is agonizingly detailed for the casual reader. However, when someday I casually hand someone a book of my genealogy, I want them to have some idea of just what goes into the research behind the many names and dates of persons memorialized in the text. It's not just numbers.
Church Histories of Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada, before 1900 . Though not much help for the Dawson family who came to the area sometime after 1905, at least one of the churches listed at this web site was mentioned in this blog entry (Trinity Anglican).

Find the top rated atv trails in Willoughby, whether you're looking for an easy short atv trail or a long atv trail, you'll find what you're looking for. Click on a atv trail below to find trail descriptions, trail maps, photos, and reviews.
While this trail is described as 34 miles, it is a 43 mile ride if you do the entire thing. It is a combination of rail trail, power line right of way, suburban streets and park trails. The street sections were unexpected but ok since there was pretty much zero traffic. You have to keep an eye out for tiny green bike trail signs along the way so as to not miss a turn. I managed to get off route a couple times and needed to use google maps and the PDF map of the trail to figure out where to go. That didn't bother me since it was a good opportunity to get out of the saddle and drink water. More annoying were the frequent road crossings. Some were extremely busy and required use of a crosswalk button.
All this added up to a nice sense of adventure. I parked at the northern end on Alexandra road and did the lollipop counter clockwise. This worked nicely and I would recommend this trail to friends. Just be aware that this is not a typical rail trail. It requires a bit of navigational skill.
Ashtabula to the north side of Warren was great. I rode this trail twice last year. However, once you get into Warren, the trail winds through an urban setting on streets and sidewalks that aren't maintained. I rode the trail to the end and the bike path was littered with broken bottles and glass. I punctured a tire in Warren, but was able to change it and make it back to Ashtabula.
Rode this trail from Cincinnati to Cleveland and back in three weeks. The best touring I've ever done. This trail is very well kept. To me, Columbus to Massillon was the most scenic. But it's hard to find any part of this ride that wasn't great. I went in late September and had only one rainy day followed by a half day of light drizzle. Xenia, Millersville, and Mt. Vernon were my favorite stops. Can't wait to do it again!
The North Coast Inland Trail has now been paved between Kipton and Wakeman. Enjoy it!
Adding to what smk wrote in the preceding review: The trail is indeed closed a short distance south of Kirk Rd. because of construction on a new I-76 underpass. Going south, the detour around this closure is: West on Kirk Rd, south on Turner Rd., east on Herbert Rd. While the extra distance due to this detour is not much, I gave up on it because Turner road is narrow, shoulderless, and hilly. There is no visibility over hilltops, and a car speeding over one is too likely to knock down a cyclist on the other side. Unsafe, in my opinion. So the remedy was to ride back to the northern trail end, put the bike on the car, drive to the southern trail end, and ride north to the closure point. This interruption spoiled an otherwise nice ride. Based on the work crew I saw (just two guys), this construction job could take a long time.
This is an excellent trail. All paved, mostly flat with only minor inclines, good facilities. Please disregard reviews prior to 2016 because construction was completed in 2015. The only problem is that the description in TrailLink lacks adequate detail, so I would like to provide the following info. Please refer to the TrailLink map to make sense of this info:
This trail is made up of three separate segments in Ohio's Portage County. Two of these segments are sort of connected, and the third is actually the extension of another trail altogether. All three segments run roughly in the east-west direction.
1) The southernmost segment runs along the Cuyahoga River in its western half and through the center of the Kent State University campus in its eastern half. It is about 4 miles long, one way. Expect heavy pedestrian traffic on the campus section on class days.
2) The middle segment runs from a point north-east of Ravenna to downtown Kent. It is about 9 miles long, one way. It is mostly a nature trail.
3) The northernmost segment, also known as the Franklin Connector, is just a 1.6 mile extension of the "Hike & Bike Trail", which TrailLink describes and maps separately under that name. (No "Portage" in the latter name.)
Segments 1 and 2 are connected by a rideable north-south foot path along the Cuyahoga River in Kent's Franklin Mills River Edge Park. At one point, you have to choose between leaving the path and going briefly on River St, which is parallel to the path, OR carrying your bike up or down some stairs. Important : I recommend using the foot path as much as possible when traveling between the segments 1 and 2. You could ride on Kent city streets, but they are complicated and the views along the foot path are much nicer.
Nice trail, but note that it is closed at mile 5 (from the north). Work being done on highway overpasse
Labor Day Weekend we biked 31 miles. Parked at Sunside Trailhead in Champion and headed North to Orwell, and back. Makes for a nice 30+ mile trek. It's 15 1/2 miles from Champion to Orwell. Newly repaved section near Orwell. While passing the Wildlife viewing area we noticed the observation deck/platform has been removed. It's been falling apart so this is probably a good thing.
The Central section is 8.3 miles of Asphalt Pavement. Newly paved is most of the South section from Headwaters Park to Middlefield Square, which is 6.5 miles. The trail does continue on the other side of Middlefield Square. It's not paved.
Two new Trailheads with shelters and maps and beautiful flower gardens. At Headwaters Park Trailhead there is a new shelter. A completely new trailhead is at Tare Creek Road which offers a shelter and plenty of parking.
Along the Central Section is the newly constructed Claridon Woodlands Park featuring 3 separate paved trails totaling 2.2 miles. Also Recreation areas including a ropes course, pump track/single mountain bike track, boulder wall and a Nature-based playground.
There is an uphill grade from Headwaters Park towards Chardon.
A great trail now is 12 miles of asphalt pavement and has five covered bridges.
Nice trail but very poor signage in Middlefield, can go several different ways and not marked if you do not know the area. One route takes you through a parking lot which is not safe.
2-day trip planned from Western PA to bike one way and ride train back. Drove pike to Route 21 (area) but somehow could not relate to directions to Canal Towpath. Found Brecksville train station to park and cycled to and into Cleveland (Port of Cleve) and returned with 34 miles of enjoyable riding even with fear of getting lost in Cleve. city streets. Could not locate North Akron train station so followed directions to Berlin. During a previous search I had found Ft. Laurens park and trail entrance but did not realize that it is in fact the Zoar trail and resembles canal towpath but not Ohio & Erie. Rode south to Route 800 and across biker friendly river bridge, but could not convince myself to search trail signs any further. Rode into and North of Berlin to find the much improved trail and enjoyed yet another 27 miles of towpath riding. Having been born and raised in Southern Tusc. County, I will hope to search out the Zoar trailhead and explore much more as only an 81 year old rider can do.
I think this should probably be renamed the "Cleveland LakeNear Bikeway". We rode it from the northern end and it starts in a beautiful park with a marina and beach but quickly dead ends in a parking lot behind a highrise. We probably missed a sign but it's pretty easy to find the continuation on a very busy section of Lakeshore Blvd that does have a marked bike lane but requires vigilant urban riding skills. After a couple miles it becomes much less trafficked going by beautiful homes and gardens. It then gets pretty ugly again for a few miles approaching downtown when you're still on road sandwiched between noisy I-90, a mostly industrial area, and an airport.
We didn't bother to continue past downtown because the ride was so disappointing.
The trail is well marked, relatively flat, and well paved but mostly on the road.
There are rare glimpses of the lake. If you're looking for a family friendly ride this is definitely not for you.

Connecticut Schools for Organizational Leadership
Organizational leadership graduate schools might have a lot to offer, especially if you're passionate about being an effective leader. Campus graduate programs in leadership could support that goal by studying the essentials of management. In organizational leadership graduate schools, courses might cover diverse topics like the psychology of the workplace and project management strategies. Programs may even be designed to support day to day responsibilities of leadership positions in real life. This could span from coaching team members one on one, to making large scale decisions that may impact the whole organization. And you could accomplish all of this while taking advantage of the convenience of your campus resources!
Organizational Leadership Graduate Schools: The Basics
Organizational leadership graduate school programs study leadership from a variety of perspectives. The specifics for you could hinge on the nature of the program you choose. For example, some programs may teach leadership skills that address the needs of a nonprofit organization, or another specific industry or work area. Others may be designed to build a more generalized foundation to bolster leadership expertise in any area.
Some of the things covered by organizational leadership degree programs could include the following topics.
Organizational Behavior
Courses in organizational behavior examine the psychology behind the ways people work together. This could include ways to ensure a healthy and productive work environment. Courses might also coverhow to manage conflict, and other details to help maintain a functional team.
Workforce Management
Organizational leadership courses may also study the human resources side of leadership. Leadership programs may examine different approaches to maintaining an effective team. This could include a variety of topics including
recruitment, onboarding, training, coaching, and more!
Organizational Structure
Some programs may focus on how to design, evaluate, and maintain the processes within your organization. One aspect of this is corporate architecture. Programs may also help students develop strategies for improving efficiency and profitability in multiple areas.
Change Management
Many leadership programs focus on how best to lead a team through organizational change, both large and small. Courses may study how people and groups react to change. Programs may also discuss how to facilitate those changes as smoothly as possible.
Of course, individual organizational leadership programs may vary. So, especially if you're interested in learning about one topic in particular, make sure you follow up with your selected programs for additional information.
Risk Management Graduate Schools
Risk management graduate schools study the evaluation of current and potential risk within an organization. Programs may aim to prepare students to make recommendations to mitigate that risk. In other words, as a risk management professional, you may be responsible for creating plans that inform how your organization responds to crises when they happen. A risk management program may aim to develop the skills relevant to those responsibilities. Whether you prefer to work in an independent consulting role or a leadership position in your organization, the ability to make safe data-informed decisions could be an asset.
Organizational Leadership Graduate Programs: Additional Details
Earning your organizational leadership degree on campus may have some additional potential benefits. For example, a career-oriented program like organizational leadership may attract experienced professionals alongside those just starting out. That means no matter what your level, you might find valuable opportunities to network even while you study. And with flexible class scheduling, you might accomplish this without compromising on your flourishing career.
Some campus programs may also incorporate field experience elements. This could be in the form of observation, guided internships, or even a capstone project in place of a thesis or dissertation. If you're just starting your career, field experience could be especially beneficial for getting your foot in the door. However, this may not be the case with all programs, so if field experience is an important element for you in choosing your program, make sure you inquire with your schools for additional information!
How to Choose Organizational Leadership Graduate Schools
Choosing organizational leadership graduate schools can be a big decision. One that involves balancing your career aspirations with your skills, areas of need, and educational background. Luckily, with the variety of programs out there—ranging from nonprofit leadership to project management to executive leadership, and more—you might find a program that fits those needs!
One way to narrow the field of program options is to consider carefully your objectives, needs and preferences. Here are some example questions you may want to ask yourself during this process.
What do you want to do?
Are you interested in a program that may help you take your career in a new direction, or do you want to bolster your current responsibilities with additional expertise? Make sure the programs you consider support the kinds of things you're interested in doing once you earn your degree.
What do you need to learn?
Related to the first question, you may have certain skills you want to develop in your organizational leadership graduate program. Take a look at the course offerings to make sure the program teaches the kinds of things you're looking for.
What do you need to do?
Some prospective students may have certain experiences in mind for their preferred leadership degree programs. For example, you might prefer to attend a program that incorporates some kind of field experience like an internship or capstone. Or you may prefer a program with the flexible scheduling necessary to accommodate your busy career.
Where is it?
Of course, you can't forget the location of the programs in question. Do you need to attend a school you can commute to from home or work? Or do you want to relocate to a new and exciting city? Whichever you prefer, make sure the location of the schools you consider will work for your life.
Types of Organizational Leadership Graduate Schools
Whether you have some experience in graduate education, or have never before attended graduate school, you could find on campus organizational leadership graduate programs that fit your needs. This could include a variety of potential degree types, each with unique qualities to recommend them. While a variety of programs may be available at the graduate level, they could be divided into the following three categories.
- Masters in Organizational Leadership – Earning your masters in organizational leadership could help you position yourself for success! You might earn a variety of degree types. This may include MBA programs, a Master of Arts or Science, or degrees specific to leadership in a given field.
- Doctorate in Organizational Leadership – If you've already earned your masters and want to take your education to the next level, a doctorate in organizational leadership might be the program for you. Doctoral programs could help you demonstrate your expertise as a leader in your field. These programs may also be useful if you want to pursue research or teach in a university setting.
- Organizational Leadership Graduate Certificates – Whether you're just getting started in graduate education, or have an advanced degree under your belt, graduate certificates in organizational leadership could be a solid way to bolster your expertise.

The Chicago Tribune is mostly endorsing incumbents in the Nov. 6 election, but that isn't the case for the 36th state Senate district, which has been changed to include most of Whiteside County.
In the race, Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-East Moline, is running against Republican Bill Albracht.
The Tribune is backing Albracht, a former Secret Service officer and Vietnam veteran. It noted that Jacobs inherited his seat in 2005 from his father, former Sen. Denny Jacobs, who later was hired to be a lobbyist for ComEd.
"Does Mike Jacobs recuse himself from ComEd legislation to avoid a conflict of interest? Of course not. He signed on to be chief sponsor for ComEd's 'smart grid' legislation," the Tribune said in Monday's edition. "When another senator questioned the ethics of that move, Jacobs punched him on the Senate floor."
That's what others accused Jacobs of, but he was never charged.
State Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, who raised the question over whether Jacobs had a conflict, contended the Democrat punched him afterward. Sen. Tim Bivins, R-Dixon, and others backed up McCarter's account.
Jacobs denied it.
Everyone agrees that Jacobs approached McCarter's desk on the Senate floor. Jacobs said he went up to McCarter to express his disappointment in him. He acknowledged a "dust-up" in which he may have touched McCarter.
In an interview after the incident, Jacobs said McCarter was bringing up personalities, violating Senate rules. He said the Republican noted his father worked for ComEd, which backed the bill to raise rates to pay for a smart grid that would reduce the number of outages.
The Tribune called Jacobs "ethically obtuse." Referring to the situation involving Jacobs and his father's ComEd connection, the newspaper wrote, "Even by Illinois standards, this is brazen."
"This should not even be close," the newspaper said. "Albracht would bring discipline and integrity to the job. He is warmly endorsed."

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (Sept. 2, 2012) – The ETSU women's soccer team was dealt its first loss of the 2012 season on Sunday afternoon at the Dean A. Hayes Track and Soccer Stadium, falling to MTSU, 7-1.
ETSU (4-1-0) saw its four game-winning streak, and six game regular season unbeaten streak dating back to 2011, come to an end. MTSU (3-2-0) scored four times in the first half and added on three more in the second, with seven different Blue Raiders tallying a goal in the game. The Lady Bucs' lone goal came from junior Ramey Kerns (Kings Mountain, N.C.) in the 51st minute, cutting MTSU's lead to, 4-1, at the time.
For the game, MTSU put on 13 shots to ETSU's seven, while the Lady Bucs took eight corners to the Blue Raiders' four. All eight of ETSU's corners came in the second half.
MTSU opened up the scoring in the seventh minute, as Regina Thomas put the Blue Raiders ahead off an assist from Whitney Jorgenson. The assist was one of three Jorgenson would end up with on the afternoon.
In the 21st minute, Middle Tennessee State put on its second goal when Charity Blair picked up a blocked shot from Tori Hawkins and sent it through. Jorgenson put MTSU up by three less than two minutes later, with a blast from 25 yards out.
Kelsie Roberts put in the final goal of the half, as MTSU took a, 4-0, edge into the locker room. The Blue Raiders were credited with six shots in the half.
The Lady Bucs cut into the lead five minutes after coming out of the locker room, as Kerns struck for her fifth goal of the season. Freshman Sarah Zadrazil (St. Gilgen, Austria) sent a cross through, finding Kerns in the penalty area for ETSU's first goal of the game. Zadrazil's assist was her fifth of the season to lead the Lady Bucs in that category.
Allison Stallard put MTSU back up by four in the 56th minute, while Paige Goeglein and Brianna Jasenak tacked on two more late for the, 7-1, final.
ETSU heads back to Johnson City for a weekend series beginning with Western Carolina on Friday, and ending with Winthrop on Sunday.

Hip and knee pain affects more than 21 million people in America. If you find it difficult to sleep or have lost the ability to maintain your usual activities and exercise, you owe it to yourself to meet with the Orthopedic Specialists at Health First. Surgeries are more efficient than ever and generally result in a faster recovery with less pain. In fact, our patients are usually up and walking the same day.
Hip pain may be the result of a sudden injury such as a fall but could also be due to a degeneration of healthy tissue at the hip area. Regardless of the cause for the pain, one thing is certain - it does not simply go away on its own or get better with time.
The function of the hip is such that it often requires surgery to replace damaged or worn areas. With many different approaches and techniques available, many patients are able to find a procedure that is a perfect fit.
Hip replacement and resurfacing surgeries are more advanced than ever and can provide an effective means for correcting painful hip conditions. Recovery varies from person to person but most patients will be able to drive within two to three weeks and resume most normal activities within 10 to 12 weeks. In fact, many patients wonder why they didn't have their procedure sooner.
Knee replacement is recognized as one of the most successful procedures in medicine today. In the United States alone, more than 400,000 people have knee replacements each year. While there are a number of contributing factors, ultimately joint disease is the most common diagnosis leading to replacement surgery.
Like the hip, knee restoration is most often a surgical procedure. Sometimes pain management can be accomplished through health and behavior modifications or medication. Over time however, the cartilage that cushions the bones can wear away, causing pain and discomfort that cannot be cured with prescriptions and rest.
Knee replacement surgery is designed to provide long-term relief from pain and improve range of motion. There are several options for treatments and implants available providing a wide range of solutions. Partial and total replacements along with innovative resurfacing procedures can reduce or eliminate pain, allow easier movement and get you back to your normal activities.
Research is a great place to start but it is no substitute for a personal consultation with a Health First Orthopedic Specialist. Whether your appointment results in a diagnosis or serves as a valued second opinion, Health First puts you one step closer to a life free of joint pain.Request an Appointment
Attend an insightful and informative seminar to meet physicians, ask questions and discover how you can improve.View Seminars
Health First hospitals provide Brevard County's leading Orthopedic care. Our Orthopedic Specialists are certified and trained in the most advanced procedures to provide joint solutions, including conservative rehabilitation, total and partial replacements, resurfacing and complex traumatic injury repair. From your initial consultation to your rehabilitation, your care is entrusted to the most qualified physicians, nurses, and treatment teams so you can be free to discover an improved you.Discover Health First

Source code: Lib/contextlib.py
This module provides utilities for common tasks involving the with statement. For more information see also Context Manager Types and With Statement Context Managers.
Functions provided:
This function is a decorator that can be used to define a factory function for with statement context managers, without needing to create a class or separate __enter__() and __exit__() methods.
A simple example (this is not recommended as a real way of generating HTML!):
from contextlib import contextmanager
def tag(name):
print("<%s>" % name)
print("</%s>" % name)
>>> with tag("h1"):
... print("foo")
The function being decorated must return a generator-iterator when called. This iterator must yield exactly one value, which will be bound to the targets in the with statement's as clause, if any.
At the point where the generator yields, the block nested in the with statement is executed. The generator is then resumed after the block is exited. If an unhandled exception occurs in the block, it is reraised inside the generator at the point where the yield occurred. Thus, you can use a try...except...finally statement to trap the error (if any), or ensure that some cleanup takes place. If an exception is trapped merely in order to log it or to perform some action (rather than to suppress it entirely), the generator must reraise that exception. Otherwise the generator context manager will indicate to the with statement that the exception has been handled, and execution will resume with the statement immediately following the with statement.
contextmanager() uses ContextDecorator so the context managers it creates can be used as decorators as well as in with statements. When used as a decorator, a new generator instance is implicitly created on each function call (this allows the otherwise "one-shot" context managers created by contextmanager() to meet the requirement that context managers support multiple invocations in order to be used as decorators).
Changed in version 3.2: Use of ContextDecorator.
Return a context manager that closes thing upon completion of the block. This is basically equivalent to:
from contextlib import contextmanager
def closing(thing):
yield thing
And lets you write code like this:
from contextlib import closing
from urllib.request import urlopen
with closing(urlopen('http://www.python.org')) as page:
for line in page:
without needing to explicitly close page. Even if an error occurs, page.close() will be called when the with block is exited.
A base class that enables a context manager to also be used as a decorator.
Context managers inheriting from ContextDecorator have to implement __enter__ and __exit__ as normal. __exit__ retains its optional exception handling even when used as a decorator.
ContextDecorator is used by contextmanager(), so you get this functionality automatically.
Example of ContextDecorator:
from contextlib import ContextDecorator
class mycontext(ContextDecorator):
def __enter__(self):
return self
def __exit__(self, *exc):
return False
>>> @mycontext()
... def function():
... print('The bit in the middle')
>>> function()
The bit in the middle
>>> with mycontext():
... print('The bit in the middle')
The bit in the middle
This change is just syntactic sugar for any construct of the following form:
def f():
with cm():
# Do stuff
ContextDecorator lets you instead write:
def f():
# Do stuff
It makes it clear that the cm applies to the whole function, rather than just a piece of it (and saving an indentation level is nice, too).
Existing context managers that already have a base class can be extended by using ContextDecorator as a mixin class:
from contextlib import ContextDecorator
class mycontext(ContextBaseClass, ContextDecorator):
def __enter__(self):
return self
def __exit__(self, *exc):
return False
As the decorated function must be able to be called multiple times, the underlying context manager must support use in multiple with statements. If this is not the case, then the original construct with the explicit with statement inside the function should be used.
New in version 3.2.

Some of this information from kuroboxwiki:Brick
|Wiki articles which might result in bricking an LS are often, but not always marked with this ugly badge:
In the context of LinkStation hacking to brick a LinkStation means to render the LinkStation unusable. A bricked LinkStation does not boot any more, does not respond to requests (e.g. for serving data via Samba), enters EM Mode, and/or does cyclic reboots.
Effectively, the LinkStation is just a brick, which can only be used as a door stopper unless one can fix it. It is broken, kaputt, finished, done. You get the idea.
When people say that a particular activity can brick a LinkStation, or when an article is marked as such, people mean it! It is not a joke. If you can't afford to lose a LinkStation or if you don't posses the necessary mental strenghts to deal with the loss of a LinkStation, don't hack it! There are many ways to brick a LinkStation, and not every bricked LinkStation can be recovered. Some recovery procedures are so complicated that they are practically impossible to perform by the unskilled.
Improper Flash
There have been cases of users writing uploading an incompatible flash image. Please be sure of what you are doing, and be very careful when attempting to modify the contents of the flash memory.
It regularly happens that an LS is diagnosed as bricked, when it isn't. The most common error is to not follow the flashing or installation instructions and still leave some software firewall in place during install.
Failure to reset watchdog timer
A LS has a watchdog timer, which needs to be reset in regular intervals. If this resetting is not done, a system crash is assumed, and the LS reboots. Now, if one somehow manages to permanently disable this watchdog resetting, the LS reboots cyclically.
There are a number of more or less "clever" ways to disable the resetting of the watchdog timer. Most of them center around accidentally or intentionally removing the daemon which is responsible for sending the watchdog resets in regular intervals (mc_ctld, ppc_uartd, avr_evtd).
A more obscure way to hinder the watchdog timer happens as it follows: The start of the daemon happens relatively late in the LS' boot procedure. Now, if someone added a time-consuming boot task (e.g. some long taking service startup) before the start of the daemon, the watchdog timer is not properly reset, and the LS cyclic reboots while still in the boot procedure.
To disable the watchdog for the next boot, hold the reset button while turning your Linkstation on. It will play a different startup tune to confirm the watchdog has been disabled.
Other Causes
There are many more causes, including hardware failures, broken operating system updates, broken configurations, etc. As a general rule of thumb, don't attempt to hack a LinkStation if you can't afford to lose it.
Fixing a Bricked LS
Reflashing or Reinstalling Firmware
Re-animating a bricked LS depends on what went wrong or what was done wrong. Sometimes re-flashing the original or a hacked firmware & OS can help (see The LinkStation firmware flasher, Manually flash the LinkStation's firmware. Sometimes it is necessary to Disassemble the LinkStation, connect the disk to a PC and re-image the drive. See Recover a non working "bricked" Linkstation for instructions.
NOTE: with 2.30 firmware (LS2), haven't verified elsewhere, once a flash upgrade fails the update util fails continually. running the exe with the /force flag seems to fix _most_ of the partial installs I've seen. in any case if the upgrade fails the /force flag can't really hurt and seems to do the manual flash steps below in most cases.
Watchdog timer triggers during boot
If this happens because there is a service which takes to long to start up, this can be fixed by opening the LS, connecting the hard drive to some Linux machine, mounting the drive and removing the offending service startup script from the rc boot sequence. The service startup script can than be placed after the daemon start. Since the daemon start is typically at sequence number 95, this leaves 96, 97, 98 and 99 for additional startup activities. Activities can share the same startup sequence number, so these few available numbers don't pose a limit to the number of startup activities. However, it could also be considered to move the watchdog daemon startup to an earlier sequence.
Fixing a Bad Flash
Linkstations/Kuroboxes that have been bricked due to bad flash memory contents can be restored by rewriting the flash memory with the correct contents. However, since the device can not be booted, this requires the use of JTAG.

I truly believe that the most effective government policy is based on common sense; expands opportunities for people; and leads to a better quality of life for all of us.
Thats why I ran for the 6th District State Assembly seat, and what I stand for as your representative.
My experiences as a business owner and community leader have prepared me well for this position. Having served in the Wisconsin State Assembly to develop and fine-tune legislation over the years, I am very familiar with the legislative process. On the federal level, Ive worked with many organizations to provide input on trade, commerce, and agriculture policy issues, as well.
Ive also had the opportunity to serve on many boards of directors, where the main responsibilities included setting goals, establishing policies, and providing direction. A successful board works together as a team to come to a consensus and make the best possible decision ?a successful legislator does the same.
Lastly, Im doing my part to find answers to issues that affect not only the 6th Assembly District, but the state of Wisconsin. Economic development and jobs, agriculture, health care, education ?these, and others, are all issues on which I try to listen to and understand different points of view. In my experience, by finding common ground on an issue, people can work together on a solution.
I hope I've earned your support and the continuing opportunity to represent you in the 6th District. Please remember, I always welcome your input and advice.

Due to over 70 complaints from parents and the deaths of 5 babies, the manufacturer of the popular infant sleep device, the Nap Nanny, is being sued by the Consumer Products Safety Commission and asked to refund parents their money and also pull the device from store shelves.
And even if you don't own a Nap Nanny, I'm sure you've at least heard of it, because plenty of parents use them these days. The infant recliner keeps a baby all comfy and snug and supposedly helps them sleep like, well -- babies.
A lot of parents pretty much deem this thing to be a miracle device as far as getting their little ones to sleep goes, but there have been several complaints about babies falling out of the device -- and it actually was recalled once in 2010 when the first baby died while using it. After the incident, the sides of the recliner were raised, and an instructional video on how to use it was put up on the Nap Nanny website.
But after that, four more infants still died as a result of using the device.
The maker of the product is a mom, Leslie Gudel, who got the idea for the Nap Nanny when her own infant daughter refused to sleep in anything but a car seat.
Since she and her company would not agree to a voluntary recall of the product, a formal complaint was filed.
And while she is heartbroken for the parents who lost their children, she also says in a written statement:
We do not believe the complaint has merit and stand behind the safety of our product when used as instructed. The Nap Nanny should be placed on the floor with the harness secured.
She also added:
No infant using the Nap Nanny properly has ever suffered an injury requiring medical attention.
But a spokesperson for the CPSC maintains, "We believe it is a hazardous product and we are concerned about the safety of the children that are in there."
And now, I guess it's up to a judge to decide whether or not the Nap Nanny is really a danger to babies.
But regardless of the court's decision, this information is bound to break the hearts of thousands of parents who absolutely swear by the Nap Nanny and count on it to help their baby sleep, and get a few extra much needed zzz's themselves.
This thing wasn't around when my son was a baby, but I've had more than one friend tell me that the Nap Nanny has been nothing short of a miracle worker in their household.
And as the mom of a child who was a horrible sleeper as an infant, I've always kept the Nap Nanny in the back of my mind as a potential life saver I could use if I ever wound up having another baby. My first baby may not have slept, but thanks to the device that so many of my friends swear by, I figured I'd have a decent shot of having a rock star sleeper if I had a second.
But now that there are questions about the Nap Nanny's safety, I'm not sure whether I'd be as enthusiastic about trying it. And I'm sure plenty of parents who are using them right now will seriously consider giving them up and going back to traditional sleep methods and hoping for the best.
I think we just have to realize that when it comes to babies and sleep, there's really no miracle device. Being exhausted and sleep deprived is just part of the deal when you're a new parent, so there's no sense trying to fight it.
You can hear more about the complaint from the CPSC in this video clip.
Do you use a Nap Nanny, and will you stop after hearing about the possible dangers?

For Mark Hopkins, the desire to help others has always been present. When February snow storms had Atlanta freezing and covered in ice, Hopkins and other veterans had the chance to serve those in need with The Salvation Army Metro Atlanta Red Shield Services' cold weather program.
"I believe we serve God by serving others," Hopkins said. "I think it's very important."
Hopkins and other veterans assisted Red Shield Services' cold weather program, which opens when the weather is below 40 degrees. During the snow storm, Red Shield Services took in around 60 people seeking shelter from the freezing temperatures.
Hopkins says lending a hand during the time of need was particularly meaningful for him, having been in a similar situation to many of those seeking help. He said he felt his own experiences helped him find a way to connect.
"I've seen the desperation that happens when people don't know what to do," Hopkins said. "Often times people don't realize that when people are in need or despair, they can determine whether a person really cares or not. My aim is to really, really connect and interact, and to communicate with them that not only is there hope, but people care."
One family's story stuck out to him: a pregnant woman and her young daughter were separated from her husband, who was at another location. He was able to inform them about the emergency shelter and supportive programs that would best fit their needs.
"I've been through some hardships, and as we go through some of these sufferings, our faith is tested and we grow spiritually even as we go through our suffering," Hopkins said. "Red Shield provides the platform for them to get to another level."

The world is consuming cotton at an incredible pace, and the United States is benefiting through tremendous export sales. But the market just can't get over the huge supply of available cotton.
At the end of March, U.S. export shipments of U.S. cotton reached a record 541,000 bales, a good chunk of which went to China. USDA's April 10 supply and demand estimates promptly raised total U.S. exports for this marketing year by 200,000 bales, to 17 million bales. USDA also added another 100,000 bales to domestic consumption, pushing the total to 6 million bales.
According to the experts, China's consumption of old crop cotton could rise by another 500,000 bales by the end of the marketing year, topping off at an eye-popping 46 million bales.
While the USDA report was construed as friendly, "the market all but fell on its face after it was released," said economist O.A. Cleveland, in his weekly cotton update. "Again, instead of focusing on the growing demand, the market continued to focus on the estimated world carryover come Aug. 1, 2006, at 52.91 million bales.
"Historically, a carryover level that large has meant significant price erosion. Yet, as the year progresses, the market must pay heed to the fact that carryover at 53 million bales will be only 3 million to 4 million bales larger than Chinese demand during the coming season."
To Allenberg Cotton Co. CEO Joe Nicosia, December cotton futures prices "reflect an equilibrium price that is trying to battle between two divergent forces. One is extremely large stocks currently available and large world ending stocks, which has had a tendency to keep prices down.
"You also have the very large Chinese demand, which tends to promote a longer-term bullish outlook."
The market tries to solve the push and pull of supply and demand "by putting large carries in the marketplace, where the weakness in the front end reflects the large stocks that are available today and the higher prices in the deferred reflect the belief that over a period of time, Chinese demand will continue to grow and if we do have a crop problem somewhere in the world, prices will be able to rally."
That said, Nicosia expects prices to trend higher in the short term "until the time when we see that the west Texas crop is out of danger, that they have enough soil moisture, and until we get some confirmation on the progress of crops in Pakistan, India and China.
"There is no doubt that the world has the capacity to grow enough cotton to take care of the demand that exists," Nicosia said. "But if we run into any problems in those four major cotton-producing countries it could be enough to tip the balance to the bullish scale pretty quickly."

Tax Prof points out that the main source of high gasoline prices isn't oil company profits:
[T]he biggest beneficiaries of gasoline sales are federal and state governments, not the oil industry.
[F]ederal and state taxes on gasoline production and imports have been climbing steadily since the late 1970s and now total roughly $58.4 billion. Due in part to substantial hikes in the federal gasoline excise tax in 1983, 1990, and 1993, annual tax revenues have continued to grow. Since 1977, governments collected more than $1.34 trillion, after adjusting for inflation, in gasoline tax revenuesmore than twice the amount of domestic profits earned by major U.S. oil companies during the same period.
Personally, if I had a choice between giving a dollar to an oil company and giving it to the government, I'd rather give it to the oil company. There's at least some chance they'll use it to drill for oil.

BoSox name Tazawa closer
Boston, MA – With Joel Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey on the disabled list, the Boston Red Sox named Junichi Tazawa as the team's closer.
Hanrahan was put on the 15-day disabled list prior to Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins with a right forearm strain.
It's Hanrahan's second trip to the DL in almost a month, having been out of action from April 14-29 due to a strained right hamstring. He allowed two runs in 2 2/3 innings in three appearances since returning to action on April 30.
Bailey has been on the DL with a right biceps strain.
Tazawa is 2-1 with a 2.51 ERA in 14 1/3 innings pitched this season.
