It was Harder Than I Thought!
By – Sherry Stocking Kline
Everything I read on-line said that creating a blog was easy.
Get a domain name. Pick a 'spot' to host it. Start writing.
Or in my case, start writing AND uploading the articles I've written for the Wichita Eagle's special "Active Life" magazine over the years.
After all, I'm sorta, kinda, maybe a little bit computer literate. Right?
Well, I thought that I was, but maybe not. Or at least the jury is still out on that.
So I started checking into blog software, hosting provisions, free blog hosting sites, wordpress.com, typepad.com, blogspot.com ,etc.. I read articles and glanced at some books. I checked other blogs to see what they were using. I asked for advice from some Twitter friends, too, and ended up choosing to use my own domain and my own hosting company. And I picked WordPress.
With a lot of excitement I installed it on my website. And then I saw all these neat blogs with the cool graphics, and I thought, well, I need one of those, so I found a nice young mom on Twitter to tweak me up a nice graphic and background (dcrdesign.com) and I assured her that I could upload it to WordPress myself.
After all, I still remember a little HTML. I can still kinda, sorta use Dreamweaver. Piece of cake, right?
Wrong. It seems that HTML isn't the answer to putting those cool graphics up and making your blog functional. What you need to know is a neat little programming language called PHP. Or know someone that does. Never mind what PHP stands for (that means I don't know either), but it's what makes the site work, and makes it searchable.
So, for a small fee, I found another nice young work-at-home mom named Cathy (desperatelyseekingwp.com) to help me upload and tweak the different parts of the blog. Cathy made some cool suggestions, so we're probably gonna tweak it again when she's got some free time. She even invited me to one of her live on-line tutorial sessions where I learned a lot in an hour, and 'met' some other neat gals.
Cathy gave me some 'homework' to do. Sometime this week I promise I'm going to read all this info! Honest. But for now, I'm up and running, and I'll be uploading some of my favorites from my articles.
So why am I giving these two young woman a 'free' plug?
Well, when my kids were toddlers there was no internet. No Ebay. No Etsy. There was no easy way to work from home unless you were sewing, babysitting, or making and selling something. Even with Amway and Avon back then, you still had to leave home. So I admire these young women. And I wish them the best. You go, girls!
And just in case you want to do my 'homework' for me, here's Cathy's links:

Using Personal Writing To Extend Literary Envisionments
Go to this
page for an outline of several ways students can
use personal writing to develop their understandings of a
literary text.
Assessment and Evaluation: Some
Useful Principles
The terms assessment and evaluation are often
used as synonyms. Distinguishing between them can be helpful
as you plan instruction. Assessment means looking at what
students can do in order to determine what they need to learn
to do next. That is, assessment, whether of individual students
or an entire group, is done in order to inform instruction.
Typically assessment is holistic, often recorded simply as
"credit" or "no credit."
occurs after a concept or skill has been taught and practiced
and is typically scaled, indicating the level of achievement
or degree of competence a student has attained.
Supporting Whole-Class Discussion
See Supporting
Whole-Class Discussion
for an article about ways to encourage productive literature
Developing Questions for Literature Discussion
Good questions can open up a discussion. Poor questions can
close it down. For suggestions on framing good discussion
questions, see Developing
Questions for Literature Discussion.
Responding Visually to Literature
Many language arts teachers have come intuitively to use visual
activities to support their literature instruction. Non-verbal
activities provide an opportunity for students to develop
and display their growing understanding and enjoyment of the
literature in informal ways as they develop visual representations
of their thinking.
his preface to Phyllis Whitin's Sketching Stories, Stretching
Minds: Responding Visually to Literature (for the complete
citation, see "Additional Resources" in the Library
Guide), Jerome Harste reminds us that "literacy is much
more than reading and writing" (x). He tells us that
literacy is "the process by which we mediate the world"
which "means to create sign systems mathematics,
art, music, dance, language" which "act as
lenses that permit us better to understand ourselves and our
world" (x).
we take what we know from one sign system and represent it
in another as when we take a written text and represent
it graphically we are using transmediation, a process
that "is both natural and basic to literacy" (x).
Such transmediation has enormous value in the classroom. As
students resee, they rethink. Rethinking, they understand
in fresh ways, and their pleasure grows with their developing
less able readers, the very act of focusing on a brief passage
or scene and doing what more skilled readers seem to do invisibly
helps them develop the visualization powers to process texts
effectively. Not only are they developing their understanding
of a specific text, they are expanding their skill as readers.
Using Reader's Theater in the Literature Classroom
Developed as a convenient and effective means to present literary
works in dramatic form, Reader's Theater is minimal theater
that supports literature and reading. It is a useful tool
in the literature classroom because of its simplicity and
ease of presentation. There is no memorization; readers use
the text during performance. Typically there is preparation,
however. Either individually or in groups, readers analyze
the text they will read, considering how to use verbal inflection
to convey their understandings of character development and
motivation. If used at all, costumes are partial and suggestive,
or neutral and uniform. An Internet search for Reader's Theater
sites identifies a number of sources for complete scripts
available for classroom use.
Supporting Less-Able Learners in an Integrated Classroom
Ms. Rief's classes are heterogeneously grouped and include
students with a wide range of abilities, interests, and levels
of preparation. In addition to ESL students and those identified
with learning disabilities, severely handicapped students
with disabilities such as autism and Down-Down syndrome are
mainstreamed into her classes. Her challenge is to find ways
to support the learning of less-able students while continuing
to challenge those with more developed abilities.
of the strategies Ms. Rief employs do just that. Reader's
Theater allows less-skilled readers the opportunity to participate
fully in a complex text that they might not be able to process
independently. At the same time, it offers better readers
practice in the oral presentation of language, forcing them
to develop interpretive reading skills and elocution.
students to focus on specific passages, either through written
response or artistic renderings, also supports weaker readers
by modeling the identification of key passages and allowing
them to concentrate their energies on explicit issues. More-skilled
readers are challenged to focus on particular passages, attending
to language use and the implicit issues such passages present.
way of offering support to students with a wide range of abilities
is by including children's picture books in the curriculum.
In Teaching With Picture Books in the Middle School,
Iris McClellan Tiedt includes stimulating thinking, promoting
reading development, appreciating diversity, and introducing
thematic studies as some ways picture books can enhance a
middle school language arts curriculum.

Children's Literature Is for Everyone, Even Especially
Adolescents" in Beyond Words: Picture Books

and Lenore Carlisle. This collection offers a number of ideas
for using picture books with older students. (For the complete
citation, see "Additional Resources" in the Library
Text Pairings
As you plan literature experiences for your students, consider
offering text pairings, so that students have a rich palette
of text background and reading experiences to draw upon in
their literary conversations. Some texts that may complement
the ones used in this lesson plan include:

Let's think about your heart, and we'll do it by imagining a scenario. You're out for a hike on a beautiful spring day. You're delighted to hear running water, and sure enough, you come to a creek. But there's something wrong with this picture. You notice that someone has dumped trash into the stream—an ugly sight. There is refuse floating on the water. Judging by some of the empty soda cans, the trash has been there awhile. And there is an ugly film on top of the water.
You can't just leave the scene as you found it, because it would bother your conscience. So you stoop down and begin gathering the trash.
It actually takes several hours before you can begin to see a difference; it's amazing how much junk is there. You sit back, rest for a moment, and realize you'll have to keep returning each day until the site is truly clean. Well, that's okay; it's a project you'll be proud of.
Except that when you come back the next day, it's as if your work has been undone.
In fact there's more trash than before. Somehow the garbage bred overnight. You think about the unlikelihood of someone coming to this very spot to dump their garbage in the few hours while you were away, and you realize that something smells fishy—so to speak. So you begin to follow the creek upstream.
Sure enough, you come to a garbage dump that has been there for years. It's emptying into the passing creek. Your cleaning job only opened up a gap for more stuff to settle. You could go and clean every day, but it would just be like pushing a boulder up the hill and watching it roll back down again… .
If you want your creek to be clean, that means going directly to the source ...1

Yatterman No. 2 - Tatsunoko
A mysterious stone known as Skull Stone is scattered across the planet, and it holds the power to reveal the location of the largest deposit of gold in the world. A trio of villains, the Doronjo Gang,is in pursuit of fame, power and wealth as they search for the Skull Stone. The "Yatterman", try and block the Doronbo every chance they get.
Ai is Gan's girlfriend, and the only daughter of a shopkeeper who sells electrical appliances. She is often seen constructing and modifying machines with Gan. She is "Yatterman No. 2", and uses a telescoping baton to emit electric currents to shock opponents, as well as for her special attack "Electric Stick".
Gameplay Details:
Yatterman-2 is similar to Karas in some regards. She has poor HP and an assortment of very quick pokes to keep opponents moving and defend herself from frontal assaults. Yatterman-2 possibly has some of the poorest damage in the game, but at the same time she has a tool to deal with almost any situation, and her strength lies in her plethora of incredibly mean setups and pressure tricks. She has fast mixups, quick unblockables, a helper that keeps her safe from combos, annoying projectiles and more. Once she starts attacking she doesn't have to stop any time soon, and even the most patient opponents will find themselves going loopy when trying to defend against her range of obnoxious shenanigans.
Difficulty: intermediate
Style: heavy pressure
Defensive power: Poor HP, but has many attacks which can be used defensively
Offensive power: Her overall damage output is weak, but her resets soon add up.
Approach strength: Yatterman-2 has a very easy time approaching due to her fast pokes and overall mobility. Her projectiles are an irritation no matter where she is on screen, and her Hyper moves only help in aiding her approach.
Combo ability: Her ability to extend combos is moderate, but she is able to cause stagger and repeat her ground strings as well as finish air combos with her heavy quick step, which strikes downed opponents.
Meter Usage: Yatterman-2 mainly uses her meter to summon Omotchama and for megacrash, and she builds it quite quickly too, so in a way she is fairly reliant on meter to keep her going.
Key Techniques: Players should learn to utilise her many tricks creatively to create difficult situations that may lead to a reset. Her unblockables can be followed up with an assist or baroque in order to lead into combos.
Partner Options: Any character who has a multi-hit or projectile assist will be helpful for her. Polimar can set up for some easy unblockables while Ryu or Morrigan will allow her to create more openings to get in close. Roll's assist also comes in very handy for controlling space. With Karas she has some amusing Variable Hyper Combinations using her Super Passion Hyper.

For those who prefer their men to be tall, big and thick in all the right places: Here is another serving of the Los Angeles Dodgers' "mega-star" outfielder Yasiel Puig. That's about six-foot-three and 235 pounds of Cuban beef.
These images from last weekend's series with the San Francisco Giants. The 23-year-old Cuban-born Puig—pronounced "pwiy"—has become a contender for MVP, notes ESPN. "He's batting .318 and is tied for the team lead with 17 walks, giving him a .408 on-base percentage. He also happens to lead the Dodgers with 29 RBIs."

To Orah Buck, a Toronto photographer and former Hebrew teacher, the twice destroyed and twice resurrected Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem's Jewish quarter is imbued with special meaning and resonance.
The shul is not only emblematic of the continued presence of Jews in this most contested of cities, but an enduring symbol of their yearning for Zion, she said last week.
Built by Ashkenazi Jews in the early 18th century, it was set alight by Arab moneylenders in 1721 when its Jewish congregants failed to repay a debt. As a result of this incident, Ashkenazi Jews were banned from the city until the debt could be repaid.
The Hurva Synagogue [Orah Buck photo]
Forlornly lying in ruins for more than a century, the neo-Byzantine synagogue was rebuilt in 1864. For more than 80 years, it was a landmark, one of the tallest structures in Jerusalem and one of the most beautiful synagogues in all of Palestine.
Visited by the British philanthropist Moses Montefiore in 1866, it was the venue of a memorial service for Queen Victoria after her death in 1901.
Blown up by Jordan's Arab Legion during the 1948 War of Independence, it was again rebuilt, and officially reopened on March 15, 2010.
Buck, whose parents, Abraham Meir and Rachel, were born in Jerusalem, has a personal connection to the tragic yet inspirational story of this fabled synagogue.
Her father's great-grandfather, Rabbi Avraham Meir Ben Yirmiyahu, played an instrumental role in the rebuilding of the shul in the 19th century.
It was he who carried a klaf – an important Jewish document written in florid fashion on kosher parchment – to Europe to raise funds for its reconstruction. His mission was successful. Thanks in part to his efforts, the Hurva arose from the ashes.
The inextricable link between Buck's family and the synagogue was delineated by Buck's cousin in Jerusalem, Ruth Marcus, a retired professor of mathematics at Tel Aviv University and a member of the Israel Genealogy Society.
Two decades ago, while researching the genealogy of her family over the centuries in Palestine, she heard about a klaf that aroused her curiosity.
Owned by an Orthodox Jewish family in Jerusalem, it contained Rabbi Ben Yirmiyahu's name in bold letters. Bowled over by the discovery, she and her cousin sought to buy the klaf, but the owners preferred to keep it in their possession.
Two years ago, when Buck visited Israel, she and Marcus went to see the klaf once again. This time, she was allowed to take a photograph of it.
To Buck's delight, the photograph was placed in the vestibule of the rebuilt synagogue.
When it was officially reopened in the presence of Israeli politicians and rabbis after about five years of construction, Buck was permitted unveil the klaf.
"It was an amazing experience," she said. "It was like unveiling a Rembrandt painting."
She added, "Despite Arab protests, the dedication ceremony was a joyous occasion. Adults and children alike danced and sang with great fervour and hope for the future."
Palestinian leaders claimed that the reconstruction of the synagogue was a sign of Israel's intention to destroy the Temple Mount. Indeed, Hamas described the opening of the shul as "a declaration of war," while Iran called it a "catastrophe that has distressed the Islamic world."
In honour of its resurrection and her family's historic ties to the synagogue, Buck has made a 38-minute documentary film, which is available in DVD form.
Titled The Hurva and the Klaf, the film, with a musical score by the late Canadian composer Srul Irving Glick, recounts the turbulent history of the synagogue and her family's relationship with it.
Buck hopes that the DVD will inspire viewers to visit Jerusalem and spend time in the Hurva Synagogue.

Some years it turns out to be a worthy and justified expectation, others, it does not.
This season is perhaps the most exciting the Blue Devil fanbase has been toward a new team in quite some time.
Much like Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers before him, incoming 6-foot-8 freshman Jabari Parker is ready to shoulder the load.
In chatting with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski at last week�s ACC Operation Basketball Media Day in Charlotte, the revered leader had a comment that surely hasn�t escaped his lips too often.
�Our two main guys and most talented players have never even played a second for Duke,� Krzyzewski said in reference to Parker and Mississippi State transfer Rodney Hood.
Hood is a 6-8 wing who sat out last season due to the NCAA�s transfer student-athlete regulations.
�What�s special about those two guys, besides their talent and athleticism is their versatility on both ends of the floor. Rodney can guard a point guard or a second big and Jabari can guard any position other than point guard,� Krzyzewski said.
That�s very high praise considering Duke returns junior point guard Quinn Cook and sophomore standout Rasheed Sulaimon.
The Blue Devils were picked by the media at Operation Basketball to win the ACC crown, as Hood and Parker were both tabbed First-Team All-ACC.
Syracuse was picked second in the league, North Carolina third, with Virginia and Notre Dame rounding out the top five.
Hood, who grew up a Duke fan in Mississippi, said what will make this Duke team standout and differentiate it from last year�s is its speed.
�I think this year, we could have the fastest and most athletic Duke team since the �99 team,� Hood said.
Hood was elected as a co-captain of the team, alongside senior point guard Tyler Thornton.
Thornton echoed the sentiments of his teammate.
�We�re going to play fast, really fast,� Thornton said with a smile. �We have been picking up the pace every day and working on utilizing our strengths, which are athleticism and speed. It�s going to be a lot of fun for everybody because we have so many guys who can handle the ball well, not just me and Quinn (Cook).�
Krzyzewski lauded Cook for his attention to improving defensively and says we will all see a different Quinn on that side this season.
The one area where Duke may have a soft spot is on the interior after losing All-ACC center Mason Plumlee to the NBA.
�Marshall (Plumlee, Mason�s baby brother) is 7-foot-1 and he is in great shape coming into the season. Amile Jefferson has improved and Josh Hairston is faster and down about 20 pounds,� Krzyzewski said. �Plus, Jabari can play defense anywhere in the post.�
The Blue Devils host two exhibition games against Bowie State (Oct. 26) and Drury (Nov. 2) before lacing up them for real versus Davidson on Nov. 8.

Deputy Commissioner for Disability and Income Security Programs, Martin Gerry's Testimony
Before The Ways And Means Subcommittee On Social Security
On The Social Security Definition Of Disability
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for inviting me today to discuss the definition of disability used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in evaluating applicants for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits. I will briefly describe the programs to which the definition applies and will then elaborate some more on the definition in the Social Security Act (the Act) and in SSA regulations.
Social Security and SSI Disability Programs
The Act provides cash benefits to individuals with disabling physical and mental disorders under two major programs: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Often, receipt of disability benefits also provides access to health care.
SSDI comprises a number of disability benefits for workers and their dependents and survivors. Entitlement is based on contributions to the Social Security trust funds through Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) taxes. Individuals who qualify for SSDI benefits are entitled to receive medical benefits from the federal Medicare program generally after they have been entitled to benefits for 24 months. SSDI benefits include:
- Disability Insurance Benefits. This is a cash benefit paid to workers who have not reached retirement age, who are disabled or blind as defined in the Act, and who meet other requirements for entitlement described below.
- Widow's and Widower's Insurance Benefits based on disability. Disabled widows or widowers of workers may receive benefits if they are at least 50 years old. In general, the disability must have started before the worker died or within seven years after the worker's death. Surviving divorced spouses with disabilities may also qualify for this disability benefit.
- Child's Insurance Benefits based on disability. An unmarried, disabled child of a worker who has died, retired, or is receiving disability insurance benefits may receive this benefit. In general, the individual must be unmarried and 18 years old or older to qualify. The individual must have been continuously disabled since before attaining age 22.
The same definition of disability applies to all these benefits. Benefits can also be payable to non-disabled spouses and children of SSDI recipients.
SSI is a means-tested program that provides a basic floor of income for individuals with limited incomes and resources. SSI benefits are paid to aged (age 65 and older), blind, and disabled individuals who have limited means. Individuals under age 65, including children (individuals under age 18) must be blind or disabled to qualify for benefits. The same definition of disability that applies for SSDI also applies for SSI benefits for adults. Children under the age of 18 have a different definition of disability for SSI which was enacted in 1996.
In addition to this basic floor of income, individuals eligible for SSI can benefit from Medicaid health insurance coverage from the States.
The Social Security Act
The Social Security Act broadly defines disability for adults as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity (SGA) due to a physical or mental impairment that has lasted or is expected to last at least one year or to result in death. Neither shorter-term disability nor partial disability is encompassed. The Act requires the Commissioner of Social Security to prescribe rules for obtaining and evaluating evidence and making disability decisions. The law further requires that initial disability determinations be made by State agencies, called Disability Determination Services (DDSs), following Federal rules and guidelines and fully financed by Federal funds.
Sequential Evaluation
As prescribed in SSA's regulations, disability in adults is evaluated under a five-step "sequential evaluation process." The steps are followed in order until a decision is made. The first step is to determine whether the individual is engaging in SGA. Under current regulations, in the case of blind individuals, the SGA earnings limit is set by statute, and is currently $1,300 a month. For individuals with other disabilities, if a person is earning more than $780 a month, he or she will be considered to be engaging in SGA. However, SSA does not necessarily count all the person's earnings. For example, we deduct impairment-related work expenses when we determine the amount of earnings to count. Both amounts are indexed annually to average wage growth.
If it is determined that the individual is engaging in SGA, a decision is made at the first step that he or she is not disabled without considering medical factors. If an individual is found not to be engaging in SGA, the existence, severity and duration of the person's impairment are explored. At this step, and throughout the remainder of the process, we consider all of a person's physical and mental impairments, both singly and in combination.
If the individual does not have a medical impairment, or the impairment or combined impairments are determined to be "not severe" (i.e., they do not significantly limit the individual's capacity to perform basic work activities), the individual is found not disabled at the second step. If the impairment is "severe," we proceed to the third step, where a determination is made as to whether the impairment "meets" or "equals" the criteria of one of the medical listings published in regulations by SSA.
Listing of Impairments
The Listing of Impairments describes, for each major function of the body, impairments that are considered severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, as opposed to any substantial gainful activity. The Listings are not required by statute, but SSA has been using them in one form or another since it first started evaluating disability claims, updating them as needed, to screen the most obviously disabled applicants. Most of the listed impairments are permanent or expected to result in death, or a specific statement of duration is made. For all others, the evidence must show that the impairment has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months.
At this third step, the presence of an impairment that meets the criteria in the Listing of Impairments (or that is of equal severity) is usually sufficient to establish that an individual who is not working is disabled, without the need to consider the individual's age, education, or work experience. However, the absence of a listing-level impairment does not mean the individual is not disabled. Rather, it merely requires the adjudicator to move on to the next step of the process.
Medical-Vocational Decisions
If a "severe" impairment neither "meets" nor "equals" a listing (which would result in a finding of disability), SSA assesses the individual's residual functional capacity--what an individual can still do despite his or her impairment--and uses that assessment in the last two steps of the process. At step four, we consider whether the person has the residual functional capacity to meet the physical and mental demands of past relevant work. If the impairment does not prevent the individual from meeting the demands of past relevant work, the person is found not disabled.
Finally, if the impairment does prevent the individual from performing past relevant work (or if the person did not have any past relevant work) it must be determined whether the impairment prevents the person making an adjustment to other work at step five. As the statutory definition states, the individual must be "not only unable to do his previous work but cannot, considering his age, education, and work experience, engage in any other kind of substantial gainful work which exists in the national economy...."
The statutory standard is a method of judging disability. For example, the law specifies that the work the person can do does not have to exist in the immediate area in which he or she lives, and that a specific job vacancy does not have to be available to him or her. Work in the national economy is defined in statute as work which exists in significant numbers either in the region where such individual lives or in several regions of the country.
SSA has developed a vocational "grid" designed to minimize subjectivity and promote consistency in applying the vocational factors. The grid regulations relate age, education, and past work experience to the individual's residual functional capacity to perform work-related physical and mental activities. If the applicant has a particular level of exertion work capability--characterized by the terms sedentary, light, and medium--an automatic finding of "disabled" or "not disabled" may be required when such capability is applied to various combinations of age, education, and work experience. Otherwise, we use the rules as a framework for decision making.
Other Definitions of Disability
There are numerous other definitions of disability for different purposes. Workers compensation, vocational rehabilitation, State Medicaid programs, and private disability insurers each has its own definition of disability for its own purpose.
One notable example is The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Its definition of disability is different from SSA's definition. The purpose of the ADA is to:
(1) provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities;
(2) provide clear, strong, consistent, enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities;
(3) ensure that the Federal Government plays a central role in enforcing the standards established in this Act on behalf of individuals with disabilities; and
(4) invoke the sweep of congressional authority, including the power to enforce the fourteenth amendment and to regulate commerce, in order to address the major areas of discrimination faced day-to-day by people with disabilities.
In 1999, the United States Supreme Court held in a 9-0 decision that the pursuit, and receipt, of SSDI benefits does not automatically prevent the recipient from pursuing an ADA claim. The court's decision further noted that both ADA and SSDI claims "can comfortably exist side by side" and recognized that the two laws do not share a common definition of disability.
Disability Research
One of the most valuable services SSA can provide to policymakers is the information they need for making sound decisions. SSA places a high priority on policy analysis and research that will provide the information necessary to evaluate and strengthen the nation's disability programs.
Many experts believe that providing intervention methods to disabled individuals as close to the disability onset as possible significantly improves their chance of starting or returning to work. We plan on testing several models including such interventions as integrated service supports and collaboration with employers. We also plan to study the extent to which the listings are predictive of work ability.
Finally, I thank you, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Matsui, and all the members of the Subcommittee, for beginning the public process of exploring the definition of disability for Social Security benefits. Obviously, any potential changes would have to be considered in terms of the long-term solvency of the combined trust funds. I stand with the Commissioner in her pledge to work with the Administration, with the Congress, and with the dedicated and experienced employees of the Social Security Administration to find the best solutions for this and other issues facing the Agency.
Again, thank you for inviting me to be here today. I look forward to working with you to improve Social Security's disability programs.

Monday Morning Tanker Fire Closes I-29 Northbound, Backs Up Area Traffic
A tanker fire on I-29 Monday morning caused headaches for Sioux Falls drivers after authorities were forced to shut down portions of the highway north of Tea.
The cause of the fire is still to be determined.
During the incident, police diverted traffic onto County Highway 106 as traffic on backed up to I-229. Traffic on I-29 southbound was reduced to one lane.
The fire spread from the truck to portions of the median on both sides. However, crews were able to contain the fire preventing additional damage.
There is no word as the the extent of damage to the road surface.
Police hope to have the area open to all traffic sometime after noon. Drivers should avoid the area until such time.

Tracking Asteroids with Richard Binzel main content.
by AMNH on
Space dust and asteroid fragments reach Earth's surface every day, but only rarely do extraterrestrial objects cause serious harm. Scientists use increasingly precise technology to track near-Earth objects and gauge if a Cretaceous-style collision could be on the horizon. At the forefront of this research is MIT professor Richard Binzel, whose Museum lecture Asteroids: Friends or Foes? on Monday, April 16, evaluates the threat of asteroids and makes a case for how they might actually be useful to humans. Binzel recently answered a few questions about his research.
How do scientists monitor near-Earth asteroids, and how accurately can we predict collisions?
Richard Binzel: A number of different programs survey the sky each night. Once we've discovered and tracked an object for many months, we can reliably track it and predict close encounters several decades into the future. After tracking an asteroid for a number of years or refining our understanding of its position with a radar measurement, we can predict close encounters more than a century into the future.
Do any asteroids pose a threat to Earth in the near future?
Binzel: There is no asteroid currently known to be on a collision course with Earth. Boxcar-sized asteroids, and some that are larger, pass inside the orbit of the Moon many times a year. The most interesting will be a close pass by an aircraft carrier–sized asteroid named Apophis on April 13, 2029.
If the need ever arises, how might we deflect an asteroid?
Binzel: The most important factor would be advance warning time. The more time we have, the smaller any deflection would have to be to result in a certain miss. Hitting the asteroid or tugging it are possible solutions.
Are there ways we might use asteroids to our advantage?
Binzel: Some asteroids have up to 10 percent water in their minerals and might be a valuable resource for interplanetary astronauts. Others are metal-rich, and could perhaps be mined for building new structures in space. A few have proposed that bringing back metal-rich asteroids to Earth might even be profitable some day in the future.

William III, byname William of Orange, also called William Henry, prince of Orange, Dutch Willem Hendrik, prins van Oranje, (born November 14 [November 4, Old Style], 1650, The Hague, Netherlands—died March 19 [March 8], 1702, London, England), stadholder of the United Provinces of the Netherlands as William III (1672–1702) and king of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1689–1702), reigning jointly with Queen Mary II (until her death in 1694). He directed the European opposition to Louis XIV of France and, in Great Britain, secured the triumph of Protestantism and of Parliament.
Early life
The son of William II, prince of Orange, and of Mary, the daughter of Charles I of England, William was born at The Hague in November 1650, eight days after his father's death. As stadholder of five of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, William II had recently incurred the enmity of a powerful minority of a republican oligarchy that dominated the province of Holland and the city of Amsterdam. After his death this party determined to exclude the house of Orange from power, and the Act of Seclusion (1654) debarred the prince of Orange and his descendants from holding office in the state.
William III's education, nevertheless, was, from the first, the training of a ruler. Contemporaries agree that he was a boy of great vivacity and charm, but frequent quarrels between his mother and his paternal grandmother disturbed his childhood and may have helped to breed the habit of reserve that was intensified by the difficulties of his later life. In 1660, after his uncle Charles II's restoration to the English throne, the Act of Seclusion was rescinded. Shortly afterward his mother died, leaving him to the guardianship of his grandmother and of his uncle Frederick William, elector of Brandenburg.
Early in 1666 he was made a ward of the States General, the representative assembly of the United Provinces. Under Johan de Witt, the grand pensionary of Holland, he acquired a specialized knowledge of public business. His exceptional promise and the popular devotion he had inherited made it impossible to deny him all advancement, but the Perpetual Edict (1667) decreed that the offices of stadholder and captain general, formerly held simultaneously by the princes of Orange, should never again be held by the same person.
In 1671 it became clear that Louis XIV of France and Charles II of England were planning a joint attack on the United Provinces, and demands for William's appointment as captain general became insistent. He was appointed in February 1672, though at first with very limited authority. In March and April Charles and Louis declared war, and in June French troops crossed the Rhine River and overran three provinces in as many weeks. The Dutch navy was able to hold the English in check, but the army had been neglected and was ill-trained and ill-equipped. As a last expedient the polders, or low-lying areas, were flooded, and William, with his few unseasoned troops, was left to defend the "water line."
Panic broke out in the country, and there were angry demands for the prince's elevation to the stadholderate. The few dissenters were overruled, and on July 8 (New Style) he was proclaimed stadholder by the States General, later ratified by the provincial estates of the occupied provinces. One of his first acts, done with the States' approval, was to refuse the ruinous peace terms offered by the two kings. Civil disorders, however, were not over. On August 20 Johan de Witt and his brother, who were unjustly suspected of treachery, were murdered by an infuriated mob at The Hague. William was in no way implicated in the crime and was enraged when he heard of it, but, because of the number of the murderers and perhaps because of the general revolutionary situation, he failed to bring them to justice.
In a few weeks the country settled down and for a year held out almost alone. In the autumn of 1672 William had enlisted the aid of the Holy Roman emperor Leopold I and the elector of Brandenburg, and in 1673 Spain joined the alliance, but their help was not immediately effective. William, meanwhile, was steadily rebuilding his army and in September 1673 recaptured the key fortress of Naarden. He then moved swiftly into the territory of Cologne, joined his forces to those of the emperor, and on November 12 captured Bonn. The French, threatened with encirclement, hurriedly evacuated the United Provinces. Charles II and Louis's minor allies were forced to make peace early in 1674. Louis's Dutch adventure had failed and had turned half of Europe against him, but he still held many places in Germany and the Spanish Netherlands, so the war continued and spread into remoter parts of the continent. William's chief concern for the next four years was the command of the Dutch armies in Flanders, though Dutch domestic affairs and repeated attempts to find an acceptable peace formula took much of his time. Peace was finally made by a series of treaties in 1678 and 1679.
King of England
In November 1677 William had married his cousin Mary, daughter of James, duke of York (later King James II of England). William himself stood fourth in the English succession, and this marriage with the heiress presumptive gave him added importance in England, though during Charles II's reign his role in English affairs was that of an anxious spectator rather than of a participant. During the 1680s Louis's numerous minor aggressions kept Europe in a continual state of tension, but William's efforts to build up a new coalition against him were repeatedly frustrated, largely by the activities of a small but powerful pro-French party in Holland and by the equivocal attitude of England. Eventually, however, the English king James II, a Roman Catholic, had so antagonized his subjects by his despotic and romanizing policies that by 1687 many of them were urging William to intervene. In 1688 the birth of a son to James, which opened the possibility of a Roman Catholic succession, finally brought matters to a head.
An invitation, signed by a representative selection of James's opponents, was dispatched on July 10 (Old Style), and on November 5 (November 15, New Style) William and his army landed at Brixham on Tor Bay in Devon and proceeded almost unopposed to London. James fled to France, and the so-called Convention Parliament, summoned in January 1689, declared that James had abdicated and offered the vacant throne, with an accompanying Declaration of Right, to William and Mary. They were proclaimed in February and crowned on April 21. The crown of Scotland was offered to them in the same month.
The Glen Coe massacre
The revolution in England had been accomplished almost without bloodshed, but in Scotland and Ireland there was armed resistance. This collapsed in Scotland in 1689, but the country remained troubled and unsettled throughout William's reign. In 1692 Alexander MacDonald of Glen Coe and some of his clansmen were murdered in cold blood for tardiness in taking the oath of allegiance to William. William ordered an inquiry but took no further action until in 1695 the Scottish Parliament demanded a public investigation. He then showed culpable leniency to the offenders, merely dismissing from his secretaryship Sir John Dalrymple, on whom responsibility for the massacre was finally placed. In Ireland war formally broke out in 1689, when James landed there with French support. But the successful defense of Londonderry and of Enniskillen, and William's own victory at the Battle of the Boyne on July 1, 1690, ensured the reconquest of Ireland and freed him to turn his attention to the European continent. Here, after a series of minor attacks on the empire, Louis XIV had invaded the Palatinate in 1688. The Dutch and the emperor concluded the Treaty of Vienna (May 1689) and declared war on Louis; over the next 18 months William's rare diplomatic skill brought into the alliance Brandenburg, Hanover, Saxony, Bavaria, Savoy, and Spain, as well as England, which became its linchpin.
From 1691 William spent much time campaigning on the continent with varying degrees of success, but by 1696 a number of factors made both sides anxious for peace, and the Treaties of Rijswijk were signed in 1697. The question, vital for a European balance of power, of who was to succeed the childless king Charles II of Spain remained unsettled, however, and William had good cause to fear that the peace would be no more than a truce. The English Parliament, on the contrary, was convinced that it would be lasting, insisted on cutting down the size of the army, and resolutely turned its back on foreign affairs. William, in the hope of averting a new war, entered into two Spanish Partition treaties (1698–99) with Louis—measures that involved him in serious frictions with Parliament. But when the Spanish king died on November 1, 1700, Louis, ignoring his agreements, accepted the crown of Spain for his grandson and soon showed that he had not relinquished his plans for French aggrandizement.
William, though hampered by English apathy, set himself to rebuilding the Grand Alliance and to preparing his two countries for the now inevitable conflict. In September 1701 the exiled James II died, and Louis XIV proclaimed his son king of England, contrary to his agreement in one of the Rijswijk treaties, and thus roused the English to an enthusiasm for war. William did not live to see this war declared. His health had long been declining, and in March 1702 he died. His plans for a European settlement were largely carried out by the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). His ideal, which he had pursued doggedly for 30 years, was an international order in which no single power was able to tyrannize the rest.
Holland, by the time of William's death, was ceasing to be a great power, for reasons for which he cannot be held responsible. That it remained free, independent, and prosperous was in no small measure due to him. In England he remained to the last an alien, unpopular with the ruling classes, though the common people always looked on him as the Protestant hero and hailed his appearances with enthusiasm.
His reign was of great importance in the constitutional history of the country, and his own contribution to these developments was far from negligible. By moderation and good faith in his exercise of the royal prerogative, he preserved the crown and with it those elements of stability and continuity that have been the peculiar strength of Great Britain. William hated faction, and his influence brought to an end a long period of murderous party strife. He sponsored the reform of the currency and promoted the Irish linen trade. The Toleration Act (1689) fell short of his wishes, but in spite of many frustrations he did his utmost to promote religious toleration. In 1689, of his own free will, he granted independence to the judiciary, a grant later given statutory permanence by the Act of Settlement (1700–01).
Contemporaries acclaimed William a great soldier, although he was not, in fact, a very fortunate general. But the Dutch and British armies that Marlborough inherited to continue the war against Louis were at least in part his creation. Though a martinet with his soldiers, he won and kept their devotion by his personal bravery and his concern for their well-being. A life of gruelling public activities left him little leisure for other pursuits, but he deserves mention as a patron of the arts. On his private estates he was an enlightened lord of the manor in his concern for the welfare of his tenants and the maintenance of his lands; in his private charities he was particularly concerned to help refugees.
Though reserved in manner, and sometimes irritable and ungracious, partly as a result of ill health and overwork, he could also show himself kindly, courteous, and forbearing, and he had the gift of winning and keeping love. His wife, Mary, was devoted to him, and he to her, although he was not always an easy nor a strictly faithful husband. He became more withdrawn after the shock of her death in 1694. Of his mistress Elizabeth Villiers little is known, except that she was loyal, discreet, and apparently not unduly mercenary. A legend of William's homosexuality does not stand up to examination.Nesca A. Robb

Ever had one of those weeks where, no matter how hard you try, you just feel cranky? grumpy? frustrated? like you would like to hurt someone? Well, this has been one of those weeks for me.
It all started on Tuesday morning. No hang on, it was the weekend really, because I was so tired on Tuesday from my weekend antics, that I simply couldn't drag myself out of bed. I literally was shouting/yelling/reprimanding from the moment I woke up, and I just couldn't pull myself together.
Later that day, while feeling laden with Mother's guilt for being such a crosspatch Mum, Sister A called to let me know that one of my old school friends had died. This left me feeling awfully sad. This guy had taken one of life's rockier paths and got himself mixed up with the wrong crowd while indulging in the wrong types of recreational pursuits.
Although it had been many years since I had seen him, I did spend much of my childhood in his warm-hearted company. I feel sadness that he is dead, and I feel especially sad that he died alone. You see, apparently he died on Jan 30th, but the news has only now filtered through to his family. I am yet to know the full story (we are still in touch with his sister) but I am thinking smelly body in the apartment next door type of scenario. Awful.
I went to bed on Tuesday night promising myself that I would wake up happier. Only I didn't.
Yesterday I just took up where I had left off. Yelling. Shouting. Frustrated. And, while I apologised to my children for my mood, I just couldn't shake it.
So I wore my cranky pants all day long. Pulled up high. I got grumpy when Nugget refused to repeat his rendition of his reading homework. I wanted to tear my hair out when Do Dah spent his lunchtime walking around the house instead of sitting at the table. I spat the dummy when Nugget refused to eat his roast chicken dinner (made the WW way with minimal oil). I practically had to muzzle myself to stop myself from swearing at him.
I went to my meditation course last night. I felt like an imposter after all the anger, frustration, irritation and guilt that I have been carrying this week. But I particpated in the meditations, and slowly, I began to feel calmer.
After one and half hours, most of which was spent internally reprimanding myself for not being able to focus, I finished my meditation session and came home. I did feel more relaxed. Less annoyed. Happier. I had worked through some of my issues and made peace with myself for my moods.
I had a nice night chatting to my husband. Overindulged in chocolate bullets (at least 8 Points worth which is unpleasant to contemplate) and went to bed with a feeling that I could have a better day today.
Only I haven't.
The fact that the twins were up at least 5 times between them last night (bloody teeth) and I was too busy eating chocolate bullets to get myself into bed at a reasonable hour, meant that I am, once again, sleep deprived.
This morning I actually SCREAMED at the kids (not a yell or a shout). My husband gave me a time-out because I was so out of control!
So much for Zen. So much for being a good Mum. So much for being a reasonable person. All out the window!
So I sit here at the computer feeling terrible. Guilty for getting so out of control. Annoyed for letting the small things in life get so darned big. Angry for acting like a toddler and modelling such appalling behaviour to my children. What is it with me???

The greatest food debate in Jewish cuisine and possibly the greatest Jewish debate of all time (though that's debatable) is whether the passover matzoh balls should be sinkers or floaters. My family traditionally always served both kinds, each grandma at the table making up a batch that her mishpacha would most enjoy.
My mother-in-law who had served rock hard, you-need-a-fork-and-knife-to-eat-them, sinkers before me has now also switched to a combination of sinkers and floaters. Goodbye, conflict.
There is a less documented though equally pervasive debate surrounding the Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole. Some like their casserole topped with marshmallows, while others (myself included in this second camp) prefer a sugary nut topping. Who needs white mush when you have sweet orange mush? What you need is crunch!
My all time favorite sweet potato casserole is the one my mother-in-law makes. I like it hot or cold and with a fork, a spoon, or hands. The recipe is at the bottom of this post.
The truth is, I like sweet potatoes in all formats. I like them so much that my brother even mentioned them in his wedding toast to me.
I've been plotting to make a sweet potato cupcake for months. This month was the time. Garrett of Vanilla Garlic and Chockylit of Cupcake Bakeshop are hosting a cupcake roundup with the theme of a classic dish redefined. I decided to model my cupcake after the sweet potato casserole.
I wanted to impart some of my favorite casserole flavors into the cupcake (brown sugar and maple syrup). I opted for the sweet potato flavor in the cake, a maple mascarpone filling, and a brown sugar frosting.
The results? This cupcake was light and fluffy (I had to point this out for those who didn't like my last two super dense ones) and tasted like Fall in a cupcake wrapper. I would not hesitate to serve this to my family at Thanksgiving dinner or any other day for that matter.
The Recipes
The Cake
I got the cake recipe from a Cupcake Bakeshop recipe for pumpkin cupcakes (reposted below). She got the recipe from Martha Stewart. I simply replaced the pumpkin with mashed sweet potato. I went the lazy route and got my sweet potato from a can. However, I'm sure you could make your own.
The Filling
For the filling, I simply whipped together 8 oz of mascarpone cheese with 2 T of pure maple syrup. When the cupcakes were done baking, I stuck the pastry bag right into the center of the cupcake and squirted some filling in. This, BTW, is much easier than the cone method (cutting out a cone, putting the filling in, and replacing the top) and it's more sexy, too. However, it does not work well with dense cupcakes.
The Frosting
I used another one of Chockylit's top-notch recipes for the frosting (reposted below). She used a caramel frosting on her "Peanut Butter-Banana Chocolate Cupcakes with Caramel Glaze and a Caramelized Banana Disk." I've had these cupcakes before at a friend's house minus the peanut butter, since I'm not a fan, and they were awesome! My favorite part though was the caramel frosting. This was the perfect cupcake for me to try it out on.
What's On Top?
To please both the marshmallow and the nut camps and because I can't use nuts at the wedding, I made some cupcakes with toasted mini marshmallows (any excuse to use my culinary torch!) and some with candied walnuts.

Nancy's Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
Sweet Potato Casserole
Base Ingredients
- 2 lb. sweet potatoes
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- ½ cup flour
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup margarine
- ¼ tsp salt
- cinnamon
Top with a mixture of:*
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup margarine
- ¼ cup flour
Casserole Instructions
- Peel, cut, boil sweet potatoes until soft.
- Mix everything together and put into 9 X 12 greased pan.
- Add topping and bake at 350° for 30 to 40 min.
For those astute readers among you, you may note that Nancy's casserole does not contain any maple syrup, my cupcake filling flavor. Many sweet potato casseroles do, including this recipe from a fellow St. Louis blogger.
I'm done justifying my use of maple now. Does maple ever really need justification anyway?
Some final words on sweet potato casseroles: My Texas friend, and fellow sweet potato casserole fanatic, makes an outstanding one which uses Bourbon. A sweet potato and bourbon cupcake would also be sensational. I'm adding it to the lengthy to-bake list in my mind.

The Linking Road gives you seamless connectivity to Khar and Bandra within 5 to 10 Min. The High Street Shopping, fantastic eateries and whole sale shopping environment near the main station road, off. the S.V. Road make Santacruz a preferred location. The New Milan Flyover gives it an absolute edge if you need to be connected to Western Express Highway and further on with the New Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR), the distance to reach any where like Vashi, Thane or Ghatkopar, Pune reduces considerably.
Property rates in Santacruz West have been stable and the demand is ever green in Santacruz West as again compared to Bandra West, the prices in Santacruz West are a little lower but compared to Juhu they are nearly the same.
It all depends on where the property is located in Santacruz West and the prices are dependent on a lot of features. Most of the Builders in Khar, Bandra and Santacruz sell on carpet area pricing only which is as per the RERA guidelines. 64 Greens, Avenue 54, Ekta Trinity by Ekta Developers are the latest under construction properties in Santacruz West.
Commercial Property prices in Santacruz West are in line with that of Bandra West and Khar West and there are a lot of Commercial Private buildings on S.V.Road and Linking Roads, which offer lease or sale properties in Santacruz West.

ORLANDO -- Any enterprise looking to use cloud computing services will also be digging into what laws and regulations might hold in terms of security and privacy of data stored in the cloud. At the Cloud Security Alliance Congress in Orlando this week, discussion centered on two important regulatory frameworks now being put in place in Europe and the U.S.
Are lawyers getting in the way of cloud-based security?
The European Union, with its more than two dozen countries, has had a patchwork of data-privacy laws that each country created to adhere to the general directive set by the EU many years ago. But now there's a slow but steady march toward approving a single data-privacy regulation scheme for EU members.
These proposed rules published by the EU earlier this year may not become law until 2016 or later as they involve approval by the European Parliament, said Margaret Eisenhauer, an Atlanta-based attorney with expertise in data-privacy law.
Europe, especially countries such as Germany, already takes a stricter approach to data protection than the U.S., with databases holding individual's personal information having to be registered with government authorities, and rules on where exactly data can be transmitted. "European law is based on the protection of privacy as a fundamental human right," Eisenhauer said.
The benefit of the proposed EU regulation is that EU countries will, in theory, present a uniform approach instead of a patchwork of rules. The so-called "Article 29 Working Party Opinion" of proposed law specially addresses use of cloud computing, and it presents cloud providers and users with a long list of security-control requirements.
In addition, cloud providers must offer "transparency" about their operations something some are reluctant to do today, Eisenhauer said.
The proposed regulations also allude to how cloud-based computing contracts should be established. Among many requirements, "you have to state where the data will be processed," Eisenhauer said, plus where it will be accessed from. Customers have the right to "visit their data," she said, which means providers must be able to show the customer the physical and logical storage of it.
Some ideas could become the norm for Europe, such as the concept of the "right to be forgotten," which recognizes that individuals have a right not to be tracked across the Internet, which is often done through cookies today. This "privacy by default" concept means that Web browsers, for example, will likely be required to ship turned on by default to their newer "do not track" capabilities to be used in Europe. In Europe, "there are real concerns about behavioral targeting," said Eisenhauer.
Some European legal concepts suggest that even use of deep-packet inspection often a core technology used in security products today to watch for signs of malicious activities on the network could be frowned on under European law, and companies will need to be mindful of how deep-packet inspection is deployed, said Eisenhauer. Even today, use of security and information event management (SIEM) monitoring of employee network usage is something that does not easily conform to European ideas of data privacy.
The proposed EU data-privacy rules require reporting data breaches to the governments and their data-privacy authorities there as well as to the individuals impacted by it very quickly. The regulation also points to possible fines for failing to comply with the proposed regulations, fines that start with 2% of the company's annual worldwide revenue.
However, Eisenhauer adds that Europe's data-privacy regulators in government encourage direct communication about any issues that come up with cloud-service providers and their customers and are far more eager to resolve problems, not mete out punishments.
Many companies, including HP, which is a member of the CSA, are tracking these kinds of regulatory requirements from all across the world that impact the cloud.
"You will have to answer to auditors and regulatory regimes," said Andrzej Kawalec, HP's global technology officer at HP Enterprise Security Solutions. This means that there can't be "monolithic data centers" all subscribing to one mode of operation, but ones tailored to meet compliance in Europe, Asia and North America.
In Switzerland, for example, which is not part of the EU, "the Swiss think the data should remain in Switzerland," he said. But "everyone is getting a lot more stringent" on security and data protection, Kawalec said. Some ideas, such as Europe's notion that even the user's IP address represents a piece of personally identifiable information, are not necessarily the norm in the U.S.
In the U.S., there is also a significant regulatory change afoot related to cloud computing and security and it is arising out of the federal government's so-called FedRAMP program unveiled earlier this year.
FedRAMP is intended to get cloud-service providers (CSP) that serve government agencies accredited for specific security practices over the next two years. Although no CSP is yet certified, according to Chris Simpson, CEO at consultancy Bright Moon Security, who spoke on the topic at the CSA Congress this week, the goal is to get CSPs on board by assuring through third-party assessments that their cloud environments conform to specific security guidelines.
These include practices for incident response in the cloud, forensics in a highly dynamic environment, threat detection and analysis in a multi-tenant environment, and continuous monitoring for remediation, among other things. One FedRAMP idea is that service providers must be prepared to report security incidents of many types to the U.S. CERT and the government agency that might be impacted. The agency would also be reporting to US CERT as well, said Simpson.
If CSPs can't meet the FEDRAMP guidelines, they won't be able to provide services to government agencies, said Simpson. Once certified in FedRAMP though, they'll have a path to contracting for all federal agencies. But if a security incident or data breach occurs that is seen as negligence, that might be cause "to pull that authorization," Simpson concluded.

"North America Sheet II, New Brunswick"
Published by SDUK, 1832
This superior reproduction of the map of "North America, Sheet II, New Brunswick" was originally published in 1832. This is a very fine example from the fascinating and highly accurate series of maps issued in London between about 1829 and 1850 by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, commonly known as the SDUK.
The Society was formed in March 1828, by the publisher Charles Knight and Henry Brougham, a radical politician and reformer. During its lifetime, the SDUK was extremely active and published numerous informative works.
Their publications were inexpensive texts, as their goal was to bring scientific and similarly high-minded material to the working and middle classes.

First of all I think the "^x" was a little mistake in the text, and it should just have been "x". Secondly, what you call "vi used properly" is perhaps using a macro and repeating it a certain number of times? Something like qrxjq15@r? It seems faster but it really isn't, because in the time you cooked up that macro you could also just have "used vi like notepad", probably twice -- proving the point of the text! Vim macros are nice if you have to do something for a hundred lines but not for 15. Thirdly, Plan 9 IS cool.enk wrote:I stopped reading at "^xjxjxjxjxjxjxjxjxjxjxjxjxj". If they use vi like they use notepad, of course there will be better alternatives. For example, vi used properly. And "^x" deletes the first NON-WHITESPACE char. And I used to think Plan9 was cool.
gvim, I suppose? How is this supposed to support terminal editors?enk wrote:"When the mouse is properly accelerated, many of us find that it's faster and easier to highlight the lines in question and then type and execute Edit s/^<tab>//g in acme or just type s/^<tab>//g in sam's command window."
You can do that in vim as well. Or you could just highlight the lines using the mouse and press ONE SINGLE KEY, <, to dedent. That's when I stopped reading.
For proper frame of reference, other GUI editors like Notepad++ and Textwrangler can do the same but with shift-tab, which is more intuitive. Oh, and have I mentioned that the latter editors allow you to collapse a block of code with a nice little clickable triangle in the margin, out of the box?
Yeah, I realise they don't really need to be there. I forgot to take them out when I changed from moving a line without the line break (which would be done with 0d$) to moving a line including the line break (dd). See how much thinking is involved in typing Vim commands?enk wrote:Jplus wrote:<move there by jk>0dd<move to the other line by jk>p ... <move there by jk>0yy<move to the other line by jk>p
What's with the zeroes?
Better alternatives to move a single line in Vim? Like what?enk wrote:Not that it hurts but if you don't take the time to learn basic vim, yes, there will be better alternatives.
enk wrote:What exactly does grep offer that vim regex doesn't?
Oh, I don't remember and I don't find it important enough to figure it out. In any case, I've come to use TextWrangler searches for everything I used macros for in Vim, as well as everything I used pattern searches for in Vim, and both use cases have become more convenient.

Vokes agrees two-year Burnley extension
Burnley striker Sam Vokes has agreed a two-year contract extension at Turf Moor.
The 24-year-old has been in fine form this season, scoring 11 goals in all competitions and forming a strong partnership with Danny Ings up front.
Amid reported interest from Scottish champions Celtic, Vokes has signed an extension that keeps him under contract until 2017.
Manager Sean Dyche stated his delight that the new deal had been agreed, adding that he feels Vokes can continue to improve with the Championship club.
"Sam is enjoying his football and developing as a player," he told the club's official website.
"We have all seen, so far, great signs of how his all-round game is improving and we are delighted he has decided to stay with us.
"I spoke to Sam in the summer and told him we wanted him to be part of what we are looking to do here at Burnley and he has responded to that challenge.
"He is putting in consistent performances and scoring goals and becoming the player we think he can be, so we are delighted that he is going to continue that process with us as we move the club forward."
