United States, 2006 U.S. Release Date: R (Violence, Profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: Harrison Ford, Paul Bettany, Virginia Madsen, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Robert Forster, Alan Arkin, Carly Schroeder, Jimmy Bennett, Robert Patrick February thrillers often get a bad rap, and deservedly so. Most of them are plodding retreads with little star power and less plot. So it's a surprise to see something as (relatively) well-crafted as Firewall showing up in theaters this month. The film appears better suited to early August. There's nothing ingenious or original about Richard Loncraine's picture, but it hits the necessary bases, generates a consistent level of tension, creates a group of detestable bad guys, and delivers a satisfying ending. All that adds up to a reasonable 105 minutes of harmless entertainment. If there's a problem with the movie, it's the miscasting of Harrison Ford who, at age 63, is too old to be doing all the physical stuff demanded of him by the part. Firewall combines several tried-and-true plot elements: the good man forced to do a bad thing to save his loved ones, a frame-up, and a battle of wits between the smart villain and the smarter hero. For purposes of modernization, there's plenty of computer involvement, with the bank robbery being accomplished not by breaking into a vault, but by using computers to electronically re-route funds from one account to another. (As one character puts it, can it be considered a robbery if you can't really touch what's being stolen? Ask victims of identity theft that question.) On the technical side, most of what the film postulates sounds good, although computer geeks will be able to poke holes in it. Ford plays Jack Stanfield, the head of security for a bank that's about to merge with a larger conglomerate. Jack takes his job seriously, and isn't happy that his new boss (Robert Patrick) has a more pragmatic but less security conscious view. Enter Bill Cox (Paul Bettany), a businessman who has a meeting with Jack then, after drinks, jumps in the back of Jack's car and points a loaded gun at his head. Bill has turned Jack's seaside Seattle mansion into a headquarters and kidnapped Jack's family - wife Beth (Virginia Madsen), daughter Sarah (Carly Schroeder), and son Andrew (Jimmy Bennett). For them to live, Jack has to facilitate the electronic robbery of $100 million from his bank. His only allies are an ex-law enforcement friend (Robert Forster) and his secretary, Janet (Mary Lynn Rajskub). As the theft nears fruition, Bill begins to lay the framework for Jack to take the fall not only for robbery but for other crimes as well. Firewall belongs in the upper echelon of generic thrillers. These are movies that get us involved in the plot, have us rooting for the hero, then evaporate from the mind once the end credits are over. In short, it's a quick jolt of adrenaline with no hangover. Paul Bettany plays the villain role with the right amount of viciousness to make us want him to get his comeuppance. (The actors playing his henchmen are equally nasty.) Mary Lynn Rajskub is appealing as Jack's sidekick. (Rajskub plays a similar role to the one she has made her own in TV's 24, where she also helps a guy named Jack.) Virginia Madsen is fine in the thankless wife/mother role. As for Ford - he's okay playing the harried security chief, but when things get physical, the film threatens to go beyond where the average viewer can suspend disbelief. The role appears to have been written for someone 10 to 20 years younger, but Ford's star power overcame age concerns. So we have an improbable scene in which an AARP member goes toe-to-toe with someone about half his age, and holds his own. (I won't mention the 20 year age gap between Jack and Beth, because in real life, Ford is dating someone younger than Madsen.) I have no idea why the movie is called Firewall, since there are no firewalls mentioned during the course of the narrative. Maybe the filmmakers thought it sounded cool. Director Richard Loncraine (who did a great version of Richard III with Ian McKellan and previously worked with Bettany in the underrated romantic comedy Wimbledon) directs with a competent hand. He generates enough suspense from the unremarkable screenplay to keep viewers involved. Firewall is flawed, but that didn't prevent me from enjoying it for what it is, nor will that prevent me from recommending it to those who enjoy a thriller with enough of the right ingredients to provide a couple hours of escapism.

While it may come as a surprise to the general public, medical practitioners are well aware that there is no established, formal time to continue attempting to resuscitate a patient who has suffered cardiac arrest. “This is one of the most difficult issues in cardiology. It is still largely an unknown,” explains Zachary Goldberger, MD, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Clinical Scholar (2010-2012) and cardiologist at Harborview Medical Center and the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. In addition, conventional medical wisdom has held that shorter is better when it comes to resuscitation. “Many practitioners feel that long resuscitation efforts provide no additional benefit, because if patients do not survive early on during cardiac arrest, their overall prognosis is poor. But our findings suggest that some patients may benefit from longer attempts,” Goldberger says. Finding an answer to this extraordinarily difficult question, or at least adding clarity to existing data, could have a considerable impact on public health by improving the poor clinical outcomes of patients suffering cardiac arrest. “Approximately 200,000 hospitalized patients suffer a cardiac arrest each year, and only half of them survive. Fewer than 20 percent survive to discharge,” Goldberger notes. Minutes Can Save a Life Using the American Heart Association Get with the Guidelines Resuscitation Registry (the largest in-hospital cardiac arrest registry), Goldberger and his colleagues examined whether the length of resuscitation efforts varied between hospitals. In addition, they considered whether patients treated at hospitals that attempted resuscitation for longer periods of time had higher survival rates than those where resuscitation efforts were shorter. The study included more than 64 000 patients from 435 hospitals who underwent resuscitation for a cardiac arrest between 2000 and 2008. The research shows that physicians use a variety of times for resuscitation, but the median is 17 minutes. “In our work, we confirmed that for most patients who were successfully resuscitated, it did happen after a short period of time. Yet, unexpectedly, we also found that approximately 15 percent of patients who survived needed at least 30 minutes to regain a pulse. Overall, this suggests that some patients only responded after longer attempts,” Goldberger says. “In addition, we discovered that efforts were stopped prior to 15 minutes in 33 percent of patients [who] did not survive and [after] 30 minutes in 75 percent of patients.” The other major findings from Goldberger and his team, reported in the article, “Duration of Resuscitation Efforts and Survival After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest,” (The Lancet, Sept 5, online), included that patients at hospitals where resuscitation attempts were longer, on average, had a higher likelihood of immediate survival and survival to discharge, even after accounting for differences in overall patient characteristics, such as gender, age, and race. “The findings were most pronounced in patients with pulseless electrical activity and asystole, a heart rhythm problem that generally has the worst prognosis,” Goldberger adds. Surprisingly Positive Outcomes One very important finding Goldberger and his team revealed was that longer resuscitation times did not necessarily have a severely negative effect on brain health. “The higher survival rates do not come at the expense of worse neurological outcomes. Patients who survived with longer resuscitation times did not appear to have substantially worse neurological functioning at discharge.” It seems that while there was some neurologic injury, it was more often in the moderate disability range. While the broad range of resuscitation times and outcomes may seem surprising to a layperson, Goldberger explains that different people simply respond very differently in instances of cardiac arrest. And while he points out that even this research “cannot definitively tell us that it is the time spent in resuscitation that is leading to higher survival or establish an optimal length of time for resuscitation, this information will provide physicians with additional guidance in deciding when to terminate resuscitation efforts,” Goldberger says. Goldberger conducted his research during his time as an RWJF Clinical Scholar. “Being a Scholar enabled me to learn the statistical methods needed to conduct the analyses and work with the other analysts. In addition, I was able to receive invaluable feedback from the other scholars and mentors,” Goldberger says. In his upcoming work, Goldberger will be investigating other factors that contribute to positive patient outcomes in cardiology, including family presence during resuscitation. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars program advances the development of physicians who are leaders in transforming health care through positions in academic medicine, public health, and other roles. The program trains clinicians in the program development and research methods that will enable them to find solutions to the many challenges posed by the health care system, community health, and health services research.

Thread: Photos disappeared from S3 01-21-2013, 09:54 AM #1 - Join Date - Jan 2013 Photos disappeared from S3 had my S3 for 4 days now and my photos have disappeared for some reason. I am only using the internal storage and have lots of memory spare. Most of the images have been transferred to my DropBox account, but about half a dozen images and 2 video files have just gone! I have plenty of extra storage with DropBox and tested it out by taking a new picture and checking to see if it would delete from my S3 when synced with DropBox, the image was transferred and it also remained on my phone, so that ruled out a DropBox problem. I have seen a few posts about this issue when googling around, but no real answer. I have tried Astro, Quick Pix, turning phone off, connecting to my iMac to look for Lost.Dir etc, but nothing, they have just vanished. Is there any setting on these S3 phones that will transfer files and delete from phone that I do not know about? There must be something on it somewhere, I just cannot see how files can vanish. Any help from much more experienced users than me will be very much appreciated.

One More Bad (Bug) Science Pitch I recently ran a post on what we can learn from bad pitches that public relations (PR) folks make to science reporters. I asked science writers to send me some bad pitches they received (and there were some doozies), but couldn’t find room for them all. Here’s one that’s worth highlighting. Gwen Pearson is better known in the science writing community as Bug Girl. An entomologist, science communicator and prodigious blogger, she has shared her love for the insect world on Bug Girl’s Blog for years (fun fact – she’ll be joining the team of Wired Science bloggers soon!). Bug (I still call her Bug, even though she no longer writes under a pseudonym) sent me a pitch that she had received in 2012. She encouraged me to share it, without making her anonymous, so I will. (I am, however, making the PR person and related organization anonymous.) I have two reasons for sharing this pitch. First, it’s kind of amusing. Second, and more importantly, it is a good example of how not to pitch. More on that after you read this email exchange: Email #1 from “Anonymous Pest Control Association” Do you screech when you see a spider or go berserk when you encounter a buzzing bug? If so, we’ve got the perfect contest for you! The [Anonymous Pest Control Association] has launched the “Show Us Your Scream” photo and video contest on its [APCA] Facebook Page, which encourages consumers to submit their best shrieking, shouting, screaming reactions they have when seeing a creepy, crawly pest. One grand prize winner will be awarded a day of scream-inducing fun with a free trip to a local amusement park, valued at $4,000. Consumers can also check out all the amusing entries and vote for their favorites for a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card. Would you consider posting about this fun contest to help us to spread the word? Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more information about the contest. For official rules and details, please visit [website]. Bug Girl’s Response #1 This is the most depressing contest I have ever heard of. Way to encourage entomophobia and excessive chemical use in the home. Email #2 from “Anonymous Pest Control Association” The contest is in no way encouraging excessive chemical use in the home. It is simply asking consumers to record their reactions to seeing bugs, which are often hilarious to watch. That’s the joy of the contest! Essentially, we are trying to spread awareness about bugs, and I thought that was also the goal of your blog. I apologize if I perceived a different message, and I am sorry if I offended you in any way. Bug Girl’s Response #2 You are spreading fear of insects, which is not the goal of my blog. I normally support [APCA], because they promote IPM [integrated pest management] and responsible pest management. Encouraging people to be frightened – and have an extreme reaction like screaming – is not conducive to either of those goals. [End email chain] Where the Pitch Went Wrong The first problem, and the biggest problem, with this pitch is that the PR person obviously has zero familiarity with the person he/she’s pitching. To even the most casual reader, Bug Girl’s Blog is clearly focused on how amazing insects are. You don’t have to read the post titled “Shiny, Purple Insects will Blow Your Mind with Awesome” to know that Bug Girl really likes bugs. (Another clue? She calls herself Bug Girl.) Yet, the PR person asked Bug to promote a contest, funded by an industry group, which revolves around the idea that bugs are horrifying. There is a fundamental disconnect between the blogger and the pitch. This is why PR people need to do their homework before pitching. An occasional off-target pitch is understandable (I’m certainly guilty of it). But glaringly obvious ones like this are definitely avoidable. So avoid them. (Reporters don’t like off-target pitches, but bloggers are more likely to react strongly to an off-target pitch. Again: do your homework.) The second problem with the pitch is that the PR person didn’t drop it once it became clear that Bug Girl was definitely not interested in promoting the contest. Maybe the PR person thought the initial pitch would backfire, and Bug would write a post slamming the contest? I don’t know. I do know that when a reporter or blogger makes it clear that they’re not interested, you should take the hint. The third problem is that the PR person then tried to make a case for her pitch: “Essentially, we are trying to spread awareness about bugs, and I thought that was also the goal of your blog.” No. No, no, no. If the writer thinks your pitch stinks, you are not going to win her over by debating the point. Reporters/bloggers don’t have time to argue about how good or bad your pitch was. Move on. But the PR person did get one thing right: he/she was polite. This doesn’t make up for all of the things that are wrong with the pitch, but it does matter. Rude behavior alienates people. It actually makes me angry. The PR person ended his/her second email with this: “I apologize if I perceived a different message, and I am sorry if I offended you in any way.” I wouldn’t have sent a second email at all, but if you’re going to send a follow-up email, that’s a good way to end it.

In a distant jungle resides an undiscovered species of vibrantly colored music-making birds. These lovable orchestrators play their tunes by running along wires, collecting fruits, mashing spiders, and singing. As a music maestro, you must help your pink bird perform its tune by completing these tasks. There are some issues, but we had lots of fun with Maestro Green Groove. What makes Maestro Green Groove stand out is how every aspect of the platforming contributes to the music. Jumping, collecting objects, and tapping away enemies must be done in sync with the soundtrack. Every move you make adds another note to the music. A zany high-wire act. You control your bird by swiping up and down to jump or fall to a lower wire. When a thicker line appears, you must swipe to the right at just the right time. Sometimes spiders will jump in from the background, and must be tapped when the two circles shrinking around them match up. On harder difficulties, you can plug in a pair of headphones with a microphone to sing the notes for extra points when smaller birds fly by with a voice meter. Hitting the right tones and clicking in time with the spiders takes some getting used to and isn’t something to do in public, but it adds a unique element to the game. While Maestro Green Groove includes 12 levels (three for each of the four difficulty levels), there are only three songs. Each new difficulty level adds a bit of extra length to the track and incorporates any new elements learned, but otherwise the game can feel a bit like you’re listening to the same songs on repeat. Follow the band leader. Another issue with the level-based structure is the unforgiving nature of the game. In order to pass a track, you must get a rank of B+ or higher. If you make one mistake, such as accidentally falling, it can throw off the entire song and put you just under the threshold to advance. This gets pretty frustrating, especially when you falter near the end of a round and end up with a B. Luckily, there is a free play mode that takes away the stress. The main draw here is that you can replay any level with your choice of sounds, including a sitar, drum, and xylophone. The graphics in Maestro Green Groove look like they were pulled straight from the DS game. Everything is very low-res, except for the splash screen art. Don’t let that put you off, though, as the visuals don’t completely take away from the lovable personality of the game. It just makes the text especially hard to read. There have already been a lot of unique music-based games for the iPhone, but Maestro Green Groove does a particularly good job of integrating it into the gameplay. You won’t get hours of entertainment from this game, but for the low price, it’s a fun way to enjoy classical compositions.

Lens Filters: Circular Polarizer vs Polarizer A polarizer lens filter is something that every serious photographer should own. It is fairly easy to mount a polarizer onto a camera. It screws directly over the lens. The purpose of a polarized filter is to filter out polarized light. Polarization is light rays that are reflected off a non-metallic surface. Much of the light from the sky is polarized along with light that bounces off a large body of water or something else reflective like glass. The reason metallic light is not polarized lies in the electromagnetic nature of light itself. A polarizer serves two purposes in photography: The first is to darken the sky when you're shooting out doors. Shooting an exterior shot on a bright day can result in a light blue colored sky with the rest of the landscape slightly washed out. A polarizer filter will darken that sky making it a nice blue, while causing the rest of the landscapes to be nicely exposed and properly saturated in its color.This will also add more contrast to the image, improving its quality. The second reason we use polarized filters is because it drastically reduces reflections. You would use the filter when shooting through glass or if you're shooting a landscape shot with a large body of water. Without the filter, the water would just look like a reflection of the environment around it. With the filter the water will look more like, water. This is also nice for shooting directly into water because you'll be able to see what's under the surface. The transition from film to digital has not affected how we use polarized filters. Also, the effect from a polarized filter has to be done when the photograph is taken. You can not replicate its effects in photo editing software. Hence the reason why every photographer should own one. Two Types of Polarization Filters Generally, there are two types of polarization filters you can purchase: a Linear Polarizer and a Circular Polarizer. Both filters produce the same photographic effect, the only difference between the two is how they interact with your camera. Most new cameras are not compatible with a linear filter because of their auto-focus feature. That's because the beam splitters used to split the light for focusing are polarization-dependent. How a Circular Polarizer Is Different A circular polarizer is designed to compensate for this and works like a linear polarizer, except it allows some of the polarized through the lens for the camera to function properly. Circularized polarizers work with all cameras and are the ones that you should purchase for your camera.

Belur, Aug. 17: Mamata Banerjee today toured the Belur Math with senior officials, apparently as part of a plan to develop a Calcutta-Dakshineswar-Belur tourism circuit. She spent more than two hours at the Math and spoke to senior monks. Swami Subirananda, assistant secretary of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, said: “She wanted to have bhog and spend some time at the Math. That is why she came. She also met the president, Swami Atmasthananda.” A Mamata aide said: “She plans to develop a Calcutta-Dakshineswar-Belur tourism circuit.” The chief secretary and the home secretary accompanied Mamata. So did director-general of police Naparajit Mukherjee and the police commissioners of Calcutta and Howrah, Surajit Kar Purkayastha and Ajey Ranade. Senior monks could not recall the last time a chief minister and so many top officials had visited the Math together. According to a source, Mamata planned to improve the condition of the potholed Grand Trunk Road, which she had taken to reach the Math. The monks are unhappy with the road, the source said. Mamata is also considering a ferry service connecting Dakshineswar and Belur Math, which are on different banks of the Hooghly, with Calcutta, sources said. The chief minister enquired about the progress of the probe into the theft of a tooth, strands of hair and a rudraksha rosary belonging to Sarada Devi from the Belur Math museum. The CID and Howrah police are investigating the case. Mamata spent some time in Swami Vivekananda’s room and the ghat. The Math gifted her a sari and a shawl.

Lance Armstrong stands out in a federal investigation of cycling like a guy wearing a yellow jersey. Agents are engaged in a wide-ranging probe of pro cycling and Armstrong clearly appears to be, at the very least, a person of interest. Authorities have obtained records of years-old doping allegations against him, contacted his sponsors and former teammate Floyd Landis has unleashed new claims about him. Many of the other big names in American cycling during the past 25 years, including Greg LeMond, also have been drawn in by this inquiry being led, among others, by Jeff Novitzky, who is credited with uncovering baseball's steroid era via the BALCO investigation. A federal grand jury seated in Los Angeles will decide where it goes next. While federal authorities have not disclosed who they are scrutinising, dozens of interviews by the AP with people involved in the case reveal a broad investigation that began with cyclists who had records of doping. It then turned toward Armstrong, who has denied using performance-enhancing drugs and has hundreds of clean doping tests as evidence. Those on Armstrong's side appear willing to fight what has the potential to be the mother of all doping cases - an aggressive prosecution versus a defendant with millions of dollars and a tenacious, prideful streak. Armstrong's lawyers contend the investigation is a waste of money. Armstrong himself said he would be happy to participate as long as it isn't a "witch hunt." Some people interviewed by the AP believe that Armstrong has been on investigators' radar for years. Others, however, say the evidence simply took them on a path that eventually, and without intent, brought them to Armstrong. People familiar with the investigation said Novitzky's probe into cycling began after he was notified about a cache of performance-enhancing drugs that a landlord found in the vacated apartment of Kayle Leogrande, a little-known cyclist with a doping ban who rode for Rock Racing. Rock Racing, owned by former rider and fashion entrepreneur Michael Ball, became the centerpiece of the probe, according to several people, none of whom wanted their names used because it could jeopardise their access to information. Messages left for Ball and Leogrande were not returned. Then, Floyd Landis created a stir in April when he sent e-mails to cycling officials that accused ex-teammate Armstrong, along with his longtime doctor and trainer, and numerous other U.S. cyclists, of running an organized doping program earlier this decade. That led to subpoenas, including the one handed to LeMond - a longtime Armstrong detractor - and reportedly former teammate George Hincapie. Tyler Hamilton, another cyclist tainted by positive doping tests, also is said to have received a subpoena. Last week, Armstrong sponsors Trek Bicycle and Nike each said they had been contacted by federal investigators regarding the cycling probe and were cooperating. Although most of Landis' accusations centre on Armstrong's conduct in Europe, federal authorities still have broad areas to explore. Investigators could consider charging cyclists with a broad range of crimes involving drug violations, fraud, conspiracy and financial wrongdoing. Armstrong's attorneys have said investigators haven't even told them if the cyclist is a target nor have they said what they are focusing on. Armstrong lawyer Tim Herman wrote in a letter last month to the federal prosecutor that many of Landis' claims are beyond the government's jurisdiction to investigate and involve alleged acts that occurred more than five years ago and in other countries. The letter attacked the tactics of Novitzky, a Food and Drug Administration agent, whose investigation of the Bay-Area Laboratory Cooperative led to a conviction against Olympic sprinter Marion Jones and perjury charges against baseball slugger Barry Bonds. Laurie Levenson, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and a former federal prosecutor, said authorities will be methodical. "If you are going after someone with the stature of Armstrong, you don't rush into this," she said. "You want to make sure you cover all your bases. It seems to me there is plenty of work to do." She added that prosecutors are likely reviewing documents and trying to determine who they might want to testify before a grand jury. She said the doping allegations made by Landis against Armstrong and others in recent e-mails won't suffice on their own. Landis is an admitted drug cheat, stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title, who adamantly and repeatedly denied using, then decided to come clean while divulging details about Armstrong. There's no way that will play well on a witness stand. "His words are only good as the corroboration you have for them," Levenson said. "Other than Landis, who is on the inside and can help as well? If they have another person, it would speed up the process." It will be hard to find a cyclist, however, who doesn't have a particular slant. For instance, LeMond has been openly critical of Armstrong, and recently said he thought Landis was telling the truth. Any cross-examination of LeMond, though, will refer to his testimony at Landis' drug hearing in 2007, in which LeMond tore into Landis after receiving threatening phone calls from his manager: "I think there's another side of Floyd that the public hasn't seen," LeMond said. Dave Kettel, a former federal prosecutor assigned to handle organised crime and drug enforcement cases, said investigators likely will look at any e-mails, money transfers or correspondence where Armstrong or others may have lied. If numerous people are involved, prosecutors may seek to file a conspiracy case, which Kettel said "casts a really wide net." Elements of the potential case include any evidence against Rock Racing and at least two lawsuits involving Armstrong that featured allegations he used performance-enhancing drugs. LeMond's attorney, Mark Handfelt, said the former Tour de France winner received a subpoena last month requesting the delivery of documents related to a lawsuit involving Trek Bicycle as well as other information regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs by current and former professional cyclists. LeMond and Trek sued each other over breach of contract and settled the dispute in February. Handfelt said 70,000 pages of records were sent to investigators in recent weeks. The case, filed in a federal court in Minnesota, also involved others who have accused Armstrong of doping, including former teammate Frankie Andreu and his wife Betsy. The case also revealed that LeMond taped some people and included frequent backbiting. Trek President John Burke, in a deposition, said LeMond had an "absolute consumption" with Armstrong. Prosecutors have also sought records from a dispute between Armstrong and Dallas-based SCA Promotions. The company accused Armstrong of doping and refused to pay him a bonus, but the allegations were never proven. The cyclist won the case in arbitration and was awarded $US7.5 million plus attorneys' fees. Armstrong's attorneys say they have not received a subpoena, nor has his charity, Livestrong, which funds cancer research and outreach. Its finances are public records. The fate of charges against Armstrong and any others ultimately will rest with the grand jury. The panel operates in secret - it is made up of between 16 and 23 eligible citizens whose identities are not publicly disclosed. Federal grand juries, especially those that hear detailed investigations, meet regularly over several months. Kettel, the former federal prosecutor, said the involvement of the grand jury is a key piece of strategy for investigations. "Oftentimes, the main reason for using the grand jury is just to lock people in," he said. "If a person's story changes later, their sworn statements before the grand jury can be used against them." He said perjury charges are unlikely in that case because they're hard to prove, but that prosecutors can still charge the person with lying to a federal official. He said the grand jury can also be used to get potentially favorable defense witnesses on the record. Their story often changes and their grand jury testimony can be used against them at trial, Kettel said. Once the grand jury has heard all the testimony, it will decide whether to deliver indictments. Those familiar with the case say the decision could come as late as next year.

Ask any event planner at the Harvard School of Public Health for a room, and he or she will recommend Kresge 502. Furnished with swivel chairs and hanging flat-screen TVs, the auditorium lends itself well to interactive seminars and multimedia lectures for large groups. Too bad it’s almost always booked. For the School of Public Health, the University’s decision in December to halt construction indefinitely in Allston left administrators and faculty scrambling to find temporary solutions to relieve the overcrowding of its cramped spaces. With the promise of an additional 450,000 square feet of space, Allston would have lifted much of the pressure imposed by overcrowding at the school, which hampered its ability to expand its teaching and research facilities. Recognizing that a prospective move to Allston was no longer a realistic medium-term solution, School of Public Health officials began efforts this past year to reorganize existing space for maximum use and explore options for leasing additional space in the Longwood Medical Area. “We are at capacity—I mean, you should see schedules,” says Nancy M. Kane, the school’s associate dean of educational programs. “It takes a computer doing advanced linear programming just to figure out when to schedule a class, and you’re always going to conflict with someone.” “It’s a nightmare,” Kane adds. ‘BURSTING AT THE SEAMS’ In the fall of 2008, the School of Public Health launched an alternative case-based core curriculum for MPH students based on an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving in public health. Kane turned to the only room on the school’s campus equipped to facilitate the face-to-face classroom interaction the new curriculum aimed to create—Kresge 502. The few rooms that can accommodate the 60 students enrolled in the new curriculum, Kane says, did not offer the semicircular seating unique to Kresge 502 and would have been ineffectual for class discussions. “You don’t really see each other,” Kane says. “You just see the back of each other’s heads.” Just a three-minute walk from Kresge, nutrition and epidemiology professor Meir J. Stampfer says existing lab space is not enough to support the school’s growing body of federally funded research. “It’s not just about getting the grant money,” Stampfer says. “Once you get the grant, you have to have the space to do the research.” His lab, Stampfer says, recently received funding for more personnel, but he and his team had difficulty finding space to accommodate the new hires.

With the coming of DC's Villain's Month, a new stitch to the event's ongoing problems has arisen. Bleeding Cool has reported that there has been case of one of the comics melting when left in a car. In the BC forum thread accompanying the article, one poster claimed to have a similar problem, with an issue becoming hideously deformed. Enticed by an image of a comic becoming a big gooey mess, and a DC Comic to boot, well, someone on the Outhouse staff had to look into this... Given that I'm the least rational person on the Outhouse Staff, I did what any intrepid nutcase would do: I bought a holographic comic of DC's and put this to the test. My test subject was Action Comics #23.3: Cyborg Superman. Why that issue particularly? It did a HUGE disservice to a character who I consider to be one of the greatest Superman villains. You don't change the identity of the villain. The Cyborg Superman isn't a legacy character. He's the Cyborg Superman. That's the cruel joke for the character. HE CAN'T DIE. Sorry, I'm getting off tangent. Anyway, that's the comic I decided to horribly abuse in hopes that it MIGHT turn out like this: So, with that clearly wonky and improbable probability out of the way, I began my first test. It consisted of placing the comic on a table and leaving it outside for a four hours in an area of my yard that is under constant sunlight, just to see if it was that cheaply made: To my surprise, the comic withstood the first barrage showing how durable it was. Not a single problem at all with it (save the story, nothing can fix that) as you can see in this picture [editor's note: trim your hedges, Zechs]: No damage. So I upped the ante. For the second test, the famous story of the comic melting in a car inspired me to put it in my car's backseat. Here's the results of putting a DC 3D (or 3Dnado) comic in a car that has not been parked in a shaded, cool garage, but out in the sun all day: OUCH, if you think that's bad. Here's the comic after another hour: Then another hour: And the final hour. Lots of cracks on the cover, the first few pages starting to give twist, and even the back starting to succumb to the same twisting. Thankfully, no melting and ink stains on the backseat of my car for my idiotic feat. R.I.P. Action Comics #23.3: Cyborg Superman! Perhaps you can find the sweet oblivion that the true character who's identity you ripped-off actually craved. Conclusion: if you leave your DC 3D comic [or whatever you want to call it] in the car, the sun will twist and bend the living hell out of it. Sadly, it will not slowly melt into a puddle while possessing an appetite for human flesh. Instead it will twist, turn, and be hideously deformed. So DON'T leave it in your car for an hour on a hot day! Maybe in your car's trunk, or just don't buy a fancy holographic cover at all. Either way is fine. In the meantime, I end this article with a video that best sums up this entire affair: You Might Also Like: Comment without an Outhouse Account using Facebook Note: while you are welcome to speak your mind freely on any topic, we do ask that you keep discussion civil between each other. Nasty personal attacks against other commenters are not welcome here. Thanks!

The ongoing patent dispute between Motorola Mobility and Apple has become almost as heated as the battle raging between Apple and Samsung. Motorola added to the mix by filing a new patent case against Apple yesterday in Florida federal court, accusing Apple of infringing six patents with its iPhone 4S product and iCloud service. While this particular case may be new, the substance of the accusations really aren't. MMI already has a case pending against Apple, in Florida, where it has asserted each of these six patents. The difference is that the pending case didn't include infringement allegations against the iPhone 4S or iCloud — they didn't exist at the time that case was filed. And considering that the existing suit is expected to go to trial in the next several months, it was simply too late for Motorola to add on there. It's also mildly interesting that under the terms of Google's acquisition agreement with Motorola Mobility, the filing of a new patent action like this by Motorola required Google's approval. However, that approval was likely just a formality — you might think of it as Google simply getting out of the way, rather than directing traffic. So, all in all, it's unlikely yesterday's filing will do much to change the course of the fight between Apple and Motorola, but we'll keep a close eye on it — just in case.

The adult education program that has served people in the Longmont area for at least 45 years appears to have a new lease on life through the efforts of community volunteers and the El Comite organization, coupled with the possibility of renewed financial grants from the state. Last fall, the St. Vrain Valley School District board reluctantly declined to continue to fund the program because of financial constraints. The school district's decision means that the program will end at the end of this school year, but the new approach may allow this important program to continue its work. The El Comite board recently voted to become the "fiscal sponsor" of the program, allowing the local adult education program to apply for grants from the Colorado Department of Education. Federal funds allocated through the Colorado Department of Education meant a $155,000 grant for the current school year. The local school district was required to provide a 40 percent match. It is encouraging that local residents are working to continue this program that has served more than 600 students 21 years of age and younger and nearly 1,700 students older than 21 in just the past four years. To keep the program alive, more community volunteers and financial support are needed. Previously, there were three components to the program. These included the high school diploma program, adult basic education and English as a second language. Since the school district will no longer provide accreditation for the high school diploma program, that part will not continue. But the other two parts of the program will continue if the community continues to step up and make this positive program a continuing reality in the Longmont area. The need for the adult education program is well documented. According to the National Coalition for Literacy, it has been demonstrated that those without high school diplomas have the lowest earnings and the highest unemployment rate. Many community members have invested their time and talents in the adult education program over the decades. The local adult education program has a long and strong record of service to this area. It should continue.

Turkish National Anthem | Map of Turkey | Mozart's Turkish March Turkey was home to an astounding number of ancient cultures and the cradle of 10 of the world's greatest civilizations. From Hittite and Assyrian to Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine cultures, each group has left relics that can be found in many corners of the country. Where else can you find so many scientists, philosophers, gods, authors, religious and political leaders? Here are some of them; The god of the art, Apollo; the goddess of fertility and abundance, Artemis; the goddess of love, Aphrodite; Mevlana, the philosopher who said "Come again, whatever you are"; Cleopatra, who chose the Mediterranean coast for her honeymoon; Virgin Mary, St. Mary Magdalane and St. John, saints who found peace in this land; Yunus Emre, the poet of the love still alive in our hearts; Father Christmas, who still visits childrens' dreams; Alexander the Great, who could not resist the temptation of Anatolia; Thales, the mathematician who predicted the eclipse of the Sun; Sultan Süleyman the Magnificient, famous for his laws; King Midas, who wanted to turn everything into gold; Fatih Sultan Mehmet, who conquered Istanbul, one of the most beautiful cities in the world; and those who created the poetry of this city, Orhan Veli, Piyer Loti, Yahya Kemal and Lamartina; the famous admiral Piri Reis, who prepared the first correct maps of America and Atlantic Ocean; Nasreddin Hoca, famous for his witticisms; Barbaros, hero of the seas; and the charismatic leader who founded the contemporary Turkish Republic, Atatürk... Adding to this historic panaroma are elegant mosques and Ottoman palaces, intriguing bazaars, outstanding cuisine and scenic coastlines dotted with resorts and yatching marinas. Travelling in Turkey means passing from one scene, legend or world to another. Crossing the endless sunflower fields of Thrace, you will find yourself in the magical vistas of Istanbul. While travelling along the Aegean or the Mediterranean coasts, you will see how the blue sea embraces the fresh green of the forests. Stop by Ephesus, the most fabled city in Asia Minor, to see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the remains of the Temple of Artemis. On the Black Sea coast, you will discover many different tones of color and will be fascinated by the intensity of emerald- like greenery. In Central Anatolia, visit the Goreme Valley, an eerie corner of the Earth resembling the lunar landscape. Come, let's know each other Let's make things easy Let's love, Let's be loved This world will remain to no one Yunus Emre Shopping is the indispensible pleasure of any vacation. Its appeal increases because of special handcrafts which vary from one region to another in Turkey. The bazaars, carpet and kilim workshops, and copper working shops ar very colourful shopping places where Turkish handcrafts are produced. World famous Turkish carpets and kilims are matchless with respect to quality and beauty. World famous Turkish leather and textile products bejewell the shopwindows with latest fashion in the larger cities and touristic centres. Turks and the Republic of Turkey: Turks originated from northeastern Asia, specifically the Altai mountains and Mongolia. Continued migrations enduring for centuries account for the mixing of Turkish and local populations in the former Soviet Republics of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan. Evidence of Turkish presence can be felt in the Middle East, in central and Mediterranean Europe, and in North Africa. The Seljuck Empire was the first Turkish Empire in Anatolia. After the decline of the Seljucks' influence, Anatolia fragmented into a number of small states. The Ottoman Turks unified these separate units. The Ottomans ruled for more than six centuries (1281-1922), in part because of their system of government allowed flexibility in the practice of diverse religions, languages and cultures. The 18th century marked the beginning of the decline of the Ottoman Empire. The decline continued until World War I (1914-1918), when Ottoman armies fought and lost on several fronts throughout the empire. Eventually, Anatolia was divided and occupied by the allied forces. Although the Ottoman Empire was dissolved, the fight had just begun for the Turkish people. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a highly respected army general from World War I, led the Turkish people in their War of Independence (1919-1922) against the allied occupiers. It was the first war of national liberation in this century. And, Atatürk founded the Republic of Turkey on October 29, 1923. As the leader of the new nation, Atatürk created the foundations for a modern, secular state based on human rights and fundamental freedoms Turkey is an element of stability in an otherwise turbulent part of the world. As a modern, secular democracy with free market economy, Turkey will continue to expand its role as a commercial, political and cultural link between the Middle East, the Caucuses, the Balkans and the West. You will learn more when you come to Turkey...

VENTURES AFRICA – 8ta, the mobile phone operator powered by Telkom, one of Africa’s biggest fixed line operators, would be the official mobile partner of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for the next five years, it was announced on Wednesday. The agreement covers all mobile voice and data products to be used by the PSL under the 8ta’s “081 prefix” and extensive branding and marketing activities. The agreement provides 8ta with exclusivity in the implementation of additional mobile platforms, mobile payment offerings, fan community tools and other mobile applications on behalf of the PSL. Cambridge Mokanyane, the PSL acting chief executive officer, said the new deal was part of the PSL’s continuous pursuit to connect with South Africa’s massive and passionate football community. “The PSL and Telkom share similar values and beliefs in that we both seek to connect people all over not only in South Africa, but globally as well,” Mokonyane told the media briefing. The PSL planned to build exciting new channels and platforms for the fans who keep the game of soccer so vibrant, Mokanyane said in a statement. Manelisa Mavuso, the managing director of consumer and retail services at Telkom, said this agreement enabled the company to deepen and extend its commitment to the sport of soccer and the local soccer community. “Telkom’s existing involvement in soccer through the Telkom Knockout has been highly successful,” Mavuso said. “The Telkom Knockout has also succeeded in rallying the soccer fraternity, enabling them to enjoy not only the game itself, but also its associated benefits in the coming together of people and sharing in something larger than the individual.”

Rival towns take each other on at the playoffs(WDAZ TV) - Two rival towns took on each other in the North Dakota nine man football playoffs. By: Joel Porter, WDAZ (WDAZ TV) - Two rival towns took on each other in the North Dakota nine man football playoffs. Defending State Champion Hillsboro battled Thompson. The two have a long history in sports. You'd have a hard time finding more evenly matched teams. Both squads made the playoffs last year and both had eight wins coming into today. It was another page in the rivalry of two football teams as they took the field today. Hillsboro and Thompson, two teams used to traveling hundreds of miles for football playoff games, finally got a shot at one another. Kim Weber/ Thompson Fan: “It's just fun to be able to play a nice close team instead of having to travel so far away and play other teams.” Jon Hjelmstad/ Thompson High Principal: “Hillsboro and Thompson have been fighting back and forth for many years and this is going to be an awesome game, it's a classic and we're well matched.” Hillsboro had bragging rights after winning a state title one year ago. But it was Thompson that proved victorious in the teams' last meeting. Since then, Hillsboro has won eight straight games. Russ Waters/ Hillsboro Fan: “Last year it was expected, this year, it's just gravy, kids worked hard; they have good coaching and tip your hat to them.” Kim Weber/ Thompson Fan: “I have a senior playing this year and this has probably been his dream since he was a water boy, so this is pretty exciting to be able to have a home game and get a bye last week and the boys are pretty excited and pumped up.” Fans and parents say no matter how many times the Burros and Tommies meet, the atmosphere isn't hostile and it's not petty. They say it's just two very good teams playing football. “Tell the truth, we're better now than I thought we'd be.” Kim Weber/ Thompson Fan: “A lot of these boys are friends with the boys on the Hillsboro team and they've always wanted to play them and now when you have a great big playoff game, this is going to be exciting.”

The fruit for the 2005 A by Acacia Chardonnay was harvested at night and in the early morning to guard the aroma and flavors of the grapes. The grapes were received at the winery and primarily whole-cluster pressed. A combination of oak barrel toasting levels was used to provide complexity. This wine offers aromas of apple, mango, fig and guava. The medium to full-bodied palate maintains impressive balance and flavor concentration, so it will hold its own with rich foods. The flavors of tropical and ripe stone fruits complement its acidity, and the finish is rich and long. You will love this bright and crisp Chardonnay that is perfect for summer afternoons spent with friends out on the patio. Enjoy it with seafood salads, tarragon chicken and coconut shrimp.

The Irish baseball team jumped out to a 5-0 lead on Saturday in its regular season finale against UConn. But the lead slowly dwindled away and a 2-RBI single in the top of the 9th gave the Huskies the lead for good as they went on to the 7-6 win. It was typical of ND's 2007 season. An up and down one where you never know what team will show up. After all, the Irish had an unbelievable game on Friday--where they battled back to win in the 9th in order to clinch a spot in the Big East Tourney. Notre Dame will be the 7th seed and face Rutgers in the opening round on Tuesday at 1PM in Brooklyn, New York. The Irish won 2 of 3 against the Scarlet Knights this year.

Your online video shopping list There’s an old analogy, which I can trace back to the 1990s, that says making a film is a lot like making a meal. It goes like this: “You choose your recipe (subject and angle), write out a shopping list (treatment and storyboard), get some money (you need more than you think) and go shopping for the raw materials (shoot the pictures and record the sound). Then you return to the kitchen (cutting room) and start cooking (editing). The meal is made in the kitchen; the film in the cutting room.” Harris Watts, On Camera I like this analogy a lot, but it’s worth unpacking for 21st century video storytellers. Choose your recipe The big point here is you must have an idea of what your film is going to look like when its finished. You must be able to picture the opening, the closing and perhaps some key sequences in the middle. You must be able to close your eyes and hear your potential interviewees talking, imagining what kind of things they’ll say. You should have a feel for the pace of the film – is it fast or slow? Upbeat or sad? Ultimately your story should have a theme – a controlling idea of some kind – which you can summarise in a single sentence. You wouldn’t make a risotto for the first time without knowing what one looks like would you? Write a shopping list This always finds its way into my workflow, and I teach it to students and clients as well. Before I start filming I mind-map all the elements and use it to plan the shoot. I draw out the key ingredients: the interview, the sequences, the scenes, the other b-roll and anything else like music and graphics. Then from each of these segments I brainstorm ideas for how each one could play out. So around the interview bit I come up with different ideas for where I could conduct my interviews; I think about what questions I’ll ask. It helps me anticipate any problems which might come up during the shoot. Your first idea is rarely the best, so try and come up with unique takes on each segment. Get some money The quote above was written for television in the 1990s with its big budgets. These days I’d say video can cost less than you think. Certainly the hurdles to creating and publishing video have fallen through the floor. If you’ve got an iPhone or a flipcam – or even a webcam – the power to tell visual stories is in your hand. Shop for raw materials Here’s the big thing: the shoot is like the shopping expedition. You are merely collecting items to edit later on. This isn’t to belittle the shoot and the hard work that goes into it (you can’t make a good meal with bad ingredients, after all). However, to get obsessed by equipment and spend ages on complex super-slick camera moves misses the point: the film is made in the edit. It is the combination and contrast of images that tell the story, rarely the images on their own. The rules of a good shopping trip apply: have a shopping list, know your way around the supermarket and get in and out as quickly as possible. You want more than enough of each ingredient so you can choose the very best to include in your meal. That means shooting more b-roll than you think you need, and shooting a longer interview than you’ll use. As I said the real flavours of your film won’t emerge until the edit. That’s the magic moment when you combine your ingredients to create something greater than the sum of its parts. In video we are talking about the combination of images to create an idea in the audiences’ mind. Why does that matter? Because then the story doesn’t happen on the screen, in happens in someone’s brain: they own a bit of it, and it draws them in. Too often – especially in journalism – we take the inverted triangle approach and tell our audience everything, instead letting them figure it out for themselves. Anyway, once you’ve stirred all your ingredients together, leave it to simmer for 20 mins and add salt to flavour. But not too much.

Now I’m going to be a tad revolutionary here and not tag anyone new, simply because I don’t think I could think up anyone. If you want to take this on, please feel free – leave me a comment about your post and I’ll link back to it. But on to the 7 things about me. Sorry about that. - I’m an aspiring writer – my main focus is on writing historical novels, but I also intend to write non-fiction history books. I mention this first as it goes some way to explain why Incy and Michelle know of me and tagged me – they both being writers, but with contracts already. Not that I’m bitter or anything… - I’m a bit of a bad blogger these days due to having a lot of commitments. Not only do I attempt to write, I also study History of Art and manage that around a full time job. Did I mention I do photography too? I just got my first DSLR camera back in July 2012 and am attempting to become more professional. Whether that translates into my doing it professionally is another thing entirely! - Most people think I’m insane to take on the work for items 1-2. It’s ok, I have chocolate. I may also option Gin. - I haunt historical houses, castles, ruins and any other old things – including museums. I am a history/history of art anorak – which helps when you write about it, it has to be said. See - Pinterest (obsession). - Two different people have randomly told be that I have a) Pre-Raphaelite hair and b) Victorian hands. I do not see this as A Bad Thing. - Hmm, er… did I mention I get very attached to the historical figures I research? Prince Rupert I salute you, to name but one. Hot history guys are your friends people. - Did I mention that the 7 things about me would be random? Oh well, now you know. See – bet you wished you hadn’t asked now… Normal blog service [intermittent] will now resume. /ends

Cutting through eco-jargon to nail down green practices and products. Primary Color (www.primarycolor.com) in Costa Mesa, California, meanwhile, began replacing its local delivery fleet with hybrid vehicles in 2005, a strategy that has produced dramatic cuts in gasoline and oil consumption, says John Shaffer, director of large format. Further, the company’s adoption of soft proofing has not only reduced the need to print proofs, but also eliminated dozens of daily messenger trips. Here are just a few tips to tune-up your company’s green practices: * Bring your employees into the decision-making process; ask them how your company can "green up." * Get company-wide buy-in for all aspects of the greening of your shop: recycling, reduced energy consumption, etc. * Seek out OEMs that practice green in the manufacturing of machines, media, and inks. * Be aware of all federal, state, and local green standards that impact your shop. * Educate your customers about your company’s green products and practices. Clarify why your products are eco-friendly. * Suggest where and how your customer can implement green practices by recycling printed graphics. * As industry standards and certifications are available, align your shop’s practices to achieve these standards. Integrating hardware, inks, media In utilizing hardware, inks, and media to produce and market green graphics, it’s important to keep in mind that you can only sell what your customers want to buy. For instance, Light-Works’ current business began two years ago when Vermont neighbor Ben & Jerry’s asked the company to research environmental large-format printing options and encouraged it to act on those findings. With the hardy support of other clients as well as employees eager for eco-printing options, last year the company invested in a Durst Rho 600 Pictor UV-curable printer, and the shop has never looked back. A vast majority of shops implementing green policies are producing those graphics with UV-curable printers or machines using aqueous inksets to avoid the VOCs produced by solvent inks. Not only do the VOCs put workers’ health at risk and require proper venting and monitoring, but there are also strict rules surrounding the disposal of the solvent inks themselves. Likewise, some shops are marketing eco-, mild-, or light-solvents as "more green," but this becomes a trickier sales proposition since there are no industry standards for these inksets, and they are, for all intents and purposes, still solvents.

The season of brown liquor is upon us! To be fair, I probably say that for most of the seasons, but if feels especially true when the weather turns crisp and I start dusting off my combat boots and worn-out band T-shirts. It’s a time most people start thinking about snuggling up with cider and classic literature. For some of us however, Fall is about filling the flask up with aged bourbon to keep us warm on the walk from house to bar. Now is the time of the punk rocker, when the leather jacket is never more appreciated than in between the heat of summer and bone-cold of winter. Not that I am remotely amongst the punk rock elite, my Chelsea cut now long grown out — I can only reminisce on my pseudo punker days and fill my iPod with the sounds of ill spent youth, where I tried on the various subcultures until I hit on the “aging hipster writer nerd lady” thing I appear to have perfected. This week’s play list takes us on a jaunty little stroll down memory lane with songs like “Drunken Lullabies” by Flogging Molly. I am very much looking forward to singing along to this at their show at the Egan Center this Friday, hopefully with a whiskey sour grasped firmly in hand and my punker-than-thou baby sister by my side. In fact, this entire list should be dedicated to my sister, the sibling with much cooler music taste than I. She introduced me to most of the bands on this list. Indeed it was her that first threw the cassette version of Social Distortion’s self-titled album in the boom box and insisted I listen to it, standing with eyes closed and fists clenched as she silently and stoically rocked out. Many a night have been spent in dingy bars with her, plugging quarters into a jukebox so we could shoot pool and do an awkward little jig to the sounds of Dropkick Murphys. So here’s to Kat, the punker Cortez by far, and her enduring ability to make me listen to shit I didn’t know I’d like. I’ve thrown in some of my modern equivalents to these “get drunk and fight” favorites: “Old Number Seven” from The Devil Makes Three is my standard go-to for getting ready for a night out and at one point Alkaline Trio’s “Nose Over Tail” was an “our song” for an old ex and I. So go put some whiskey into your whiskey, then push play.

Throughout its history, the University of Southern California has relied on the generosity of alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations that endorse the university’s mission of excellence. This support has played a vital role in propelling USC into the front ranks of the world’s premier private research institutions. Now, more than ever, philanthropic funding is essential to sustain this important legacy. The reasons for making a gift to USC are personal and varied. Perhaps you are grateful for your USC experience and want to give something back. Maybe you would like to leave a legacy to benefit future Trojans for generations to come. Perhaps you feel passionate about supporting an important cause, such as cutting-edge research or the development of new technology. Or you may wish to take advantage of the tax benefits of making a gift. Whatever your motivation, you’ll find as many ways to make a difference as there are support groups, schools, and special departments and programs at USC.

Why are trees are turning blue in Seattle and Vancouver? It’s a socially-driven art project started by Australian artist Konstantin Dimopoulos who uses a water-based pigment to turn the trees “ultramarine blue.” The goal: To inspire awareness about global deforestation. Take a look at what the project looked like in Vancouver. This is still local news. But look for this social art project to gain momentum at a national level. It’s beautiful and deserves our attention!!!

Albert B. Cummins |Albert Baird Cummins| |United States Senator November 24, 1908 – July 30, 1926 |Preceded by||William B. Allison| |Succeeded by||David W. Stewart| February 15, 1850| |Died||July 30, 1926 Des Moines, Iowa Albert Baird Cummins (February 15, 1850 – July 30, 1926) was the 18th Governor of Iowa, U.S. Senator and two-time presidential candidate. Cummins was perhaps the most influential leader in Iowa politics in the first quarter of the 20th century. However, for many years he was a polarizing figure, leading the Iowa Republican Party's progressive wing to power at the expense of its "old guard" of more conservative "standpatters" who had controlled the party almost since its inception. Shortly before his death, Cummins was defeated by an even more progressive adversary within his own party. Cummins was born in a log house in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania to Thomas L. Cummins, a carpenter/farmer, and Sarah Baird (Flenniken) Cummins. He lived in Pennsylvania until about 1869, and attended Greene Academy. As a young man, he worked as a carpenter with his father. He attended country schools and completed a four-year course in two years at Waynesburg College, but did not graduate because of a dispute with the College's president. After leaving the College, he initially was a tutor and taught at a country school. At age nineteen, Cummins came to Iowa, working in a county recorder's office in Elkader, Iowa. He then became a civil engineer and helped to build railroads in Indiana. After moving to Chicago, where he studied law, he was admitted to the bar in 1875. After practicing law in Chicago for three years, he and his brother set up a practice in Des Moines. In his most famous case as an attorney, he represented a group of farmers in an attempt to break an eastern sydicate's control of the production of barbed wire. However, historians consider his representation of farmers in the barbed wire case to be an anomaly, because more often he represented corporations or businessmen. In 1887 Cummins was elected to a single term in the Iowa State Senate representing Des Moines. He was asked to serve as temporary chair of the 1892 State Republican Convention. He unsuccessfully pursued a seat in the U.S. Senate in 1894. In 1896 he was active in the William McKinley campaign, and was appointed as Iowa's representative on the Republican National Committee. 1900 candidacies for U.S. Senate In 1900, Cummins was passed over twice for the U.S. Senate. In early 1900, when the Iowa General Assembly exercised its former power to choose a U.S. Senator (for the Class 2 seat, to serve from 1901 to 1909), Cummins was the opponent of incumbent Republican John H. Gear, but withdrew when it appeared he lacked the votes to win. After Gear suffered a fatal heart attack in July 1900, Governor Leslie M. Shaw rejected numerous appeals to appoint Cummins to the vacancy, and instead appointed Jonathan P. Dolliver. Cummins initially vowed to seek the seat again in the 1901 legislative session, but instead focused on winning the 1901 election for Governor of Iowa. Governor of Iowa Cummins served as Governor of Iowa between 1902 and 1908. He was the first Iowa governor elected to three successive terms. In the third election he won tight races for the Republican nomination against George D. Perkins, editor of the Sioux City Journal, and in the general election against Democrat Claude R. Porter. While governor he led efforts to establish compulsory education, a state department of agriculture, and a system of primary elections. Cummins became identified with an approach to tariff-setting known as "the Iowa idea." The “Iowa idea,” as stated in the Iowa Republican Party’s 1902 platform, favored “such amendments of the Interstate Commerce Act as will more fully carry out its prohibition of discrimination in ratemaking, and [such] modifications of the tariff schedules [as] may be required to prevent their affording a shelter to monopoly.” The "idea" embodied the principle that tariff rates should accurately measure the difference between the cost of production here and abroad, but not set rates higher than necessary to protect home industries. In June 1908, Governor Cummins ran in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat held by William B. Allison, who was seeking a record seventh term. Cummins was accused of breaking an earlier promise not to challenge Allison, and lost by over 12,000 votes. However, Senator Allison died August 4, 1908, two months after the primary and before the Iowa General Assembly chose among the primary winners. In November 1908 a second Republican primary was held, which Cummins won decisively. Later that month (and again two months later, in January 1909), Cummins was appointed by the Iowa General Assembly over democratic rival Claude R. Porter. He served as a United States Senator from Iowa for 18 years, from 1908 until his death in 1926. He served as President pro tempore of the U.S. Senate between 1919 and 1925. He also chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and the U.S. Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce. Cummins generally supported President Woodrow Wilson's initiatives to regulate business, and authored a clause of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Although Cummins voted in favor of the 1917 declaration of war against the German Empire when Wilson requested it, he sided most often with his party than with Wilson on other foreign-policy issues, opposing the arming of merchant ships in early 1917 and U.S. membership in a League of Nations in 1919-20. It was as Interstate Commerce Committee chair that Cummins sponsored the Esch-Cummins Act of 1920, establishing the conditions for the return of the railroads to private control after their government operation during World War I. Labor activists complained that the bill perpetuated harsh limits on collective bargaining, including provisions making it a crime to encourage a railroad strike, in the absence of a wartime emergency. It symbolized Cummins' postwar break with the progressive movement, which would ultimately contribute to his defeat. Pursuit of the presidency In January 1912, Cummins announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president. He was a candidate through the Republican National Convention in Chicago in June 1912. During the turmoil of the convention and the walkout of Theodore Roosevelt's supporters, Cummins' name was not placed into nomination. In the general election, Cummins supported Roosevelt rather than Taft, even though he opposed Roosevelt's creation of a third party. In 1916 Cummins again ran for the Republican nomination for president. This time, with no incumbent president of his own party, delegates were split among over a dozen candidates on the first ballot (on which Cummins finished fifth). After Cummins again finished fifth on the second ballot, he released his delegates, contributing to the third-ballot victory of Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes. Defeat and death In June 1926, insurgent Smith W. Brookhart defeated Cummins in the Republican primary for Cummins' Senate seat. Two months earlier, Brookhart had been removed from the Iowa's other U.S. Senate seat when a majority of his colleagues in the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate voted in favor of Democrat Dan Steck's challenge to the outcome of the 1924 Brookhart-Steck race. Cummins had refused to take a position on the election contest, knowing that if Brookhart were unseated he would likely run for Cummins' seat. The month after his primary defeat, Cummins died in Des Moines. He is buried at the Woodland Cemetery there. - John D.

The angakkuq (Inuktitut: ᐊᖓᑦᑯᖅ, pl. angakkuit; Inuvialuktun: angatkuq; Greenlandic: angakok, pl. angákut) is the intellectual and spiritual figure among the Inuit who corresponds to a shaman. Other Eskimo cultures traditionally had similar spiritual mediators, although shamanism among Eskimo peoples has many forms and variants. Role in Inuit Society Both women and men could become an Angakkuq, although it was more rare for women to do so. The process for becoming an Angakkuq varied widely. The son of a current Angakkuq might be trained by his father to become one as well. Alternatively, a young man or woman who exhibited a predilection or power that made them stand out might be trained by an experienced mentor. There are also instances of Angakkuit claiming to have been called to the role through dreams or visions. Mistreated orphans or people who had survived hard times might also become Angakkuit with the help of the spirits of their dead loved ones. Training to become an Angakkuq consisted of acculturation to the rites and roles necessary for the position, as well as instruction in the special language of the Angakkuit, which consisted largely of archaic vocabulary and oral tradition that was shared across much of the Arctic areas the Inuit occupied. During their training, the Angakkuq would also gain a familiar or spirit guide who would be visible only to them. This guide, called a tuurngaq, would at times give them extraordinary powers. Inuit stories tell of Angakkuit who could run as fast as caribou, or who could fly, with the assistance of their tuurngaq. In some traditions, the Angakkuq would be either stabbed or shot, receiving no wound because of the intervention of their tuurngaw, thus proving their power. Until spiritual guidance or assistance was needed, an Angakkuq lived a normal life for an Inuit, participating in society as a normal person. But when sickness needed to be cured, or divination of the causes of various misfortunes was needed, the Angakkuq would be called on. The services of an Angakkuit might also be required to interpret dreams. If they were called to perform actions that helped the entire village, the work was usually done freely. But if they were called to help an individual or family, they would usually receive remuneration for their efforts. Amongst the Inuit, there are notions comparable to laws: - tirigusuusiit, things to avoid - maligait, things to follow - piqujait, things to do If these three are not obeyed, then the Angakkuq may need to intervene with the offending party in order to avoid harmful consequence to the person or group. Breaking these laws or taboos was seen as the cause of misfortune, such as bad weather, accidents, or unsuccessful hunts. In order to pinpoint the cause of such misfortune, the Angakkuq would undertake a spirit-guided journey outside of their body. They would discover the cause of the misfortune on this journey. Once they returned from the journey, the Angakkuq would question people involved in the situation, and, under the belief that they already knew who was responsible, the people being questioned would often confess. This confession alone could be declared the solution to the problem, or acts of penance such as cleaning the urine pots or swapping wives might be necessary. The Angakkuit of the central Inuit participate in an annual ceremony to appease the mythological figure Sedna, the Sea Woman. The Inuit believed that Sedna became angry when her taboos were broken, and the only way to appease her was for an Angakkuq to travel in spirit to the underworld where she lived, Adlivun, and smooth out her hair. According to myth, this was of great assistance to Sedna because she lacks fingers. The Angakkuq would then beg or fight with Sedna to ensure that his people would not starve, and the Inuit believed that his pleading and apologies on behalf of his people would allow the animals to return and hunters to be successful. After returning from this spirit journey, communities in which the rite was practiced would have communal confessions, and then celebration. - "angakkuq". Asuilaak Living Dictionary.

|Chinese name||周秀娜 (Chau1 |Pinyin||Zhōu Xiùnà (Mandarin)| 22 May 1985 | |Years active||2005 – present| Chrissie Chau (born 22 May 1985 in Chaozhou, Guangdong) is a Chinese actress and celebrity model from Hong Kong. Chau achieved widespread fame after the release of her portrait albums in 2009 and 2010. Her film career began after her starring in the horror film Womb Ghosts (2009); Chau starred in 20 productions in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Malaysia. Chau won four "Most Searched Photos on Yahoo!" in 2009–2012, "Yahoo! Entertainment Spotlight Person" in 2009 and "Most Popular Actress Award" in Yahoo Asia Buzz Awards. She received "Award of Merit: Leading Actress" from The Accolade Competition in 2011 for her performance in Beach Spike. Chau became an object of attention following "After 90s' Girls" in Hong Kong from the survey held by YMCA 2010. The report showed surveyed girls think Chau has a high IQ and is optimistic and bold, whilst Chau ranked 16th in 2010 LIVAC Celebrity Roasters of Cross-Straits Media announced by HKIEd, a title for which she has received substantial media attention. Chau emigrated from Chaozhou to Hong Kong with her family when she was 10. She states that she worked in a fast-food restaurant when she was 15, and then as a shop assistant in Causeway Bay earning HK$3,000 (about 386.90 USD) a month. Chau is arguably Hong Kong's most famous pseudo-model, or lang mo, She began pseudo modeling after she won the runner-up title in the 2002 Comics Festival 'Game Girl'. She rose to prominence as the poster-girl for Slim Beauty slimming boutique. During the shooting of a TV commercial for the boutique, Chau ripped off her clothes whilst crossing the road in the central business district, revealing a bikini underneath. In 2009, she released a limited edition life-sized poster with her likeness– dressed in lingerie– printed on the cover, at HK$560 (about 72.30 USD) apiece. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Chrissie Chau was invited as a guest for a talk show at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in late 2009, as part of a seminar series entitled "Knowledge Unlimited", aimed at widening students' horizons. Chau was invited as a guest to the seminar to discuss "Unscrambling the Chrissie Chau Phenomenon". Chau was interviewed by Professor Li Siu-leung of Lingnan University in front of an audience of 400 students. She was asked a number of philosophical and existential questions, and was criticized for not being able to answer them; The Standard described this as "an old-fashioned ambush". The university was in turn criticized by radio host Eileen Cha for choosing Chau for a seminar series entitled Knowledge Unlimited when she is not clearly up for it. Anthony Wong's remarks Veteran Hong Kong actor, Anthony Wong, has openly criticized and ridiculed pseudo-models, specifically Chrisse Chau, calling them brainless and overall a "bimbo" during July 2010, in a few open events. This has led to a recent book fair controversy, where pseudo-models are banned from the event. |Year||English title||Chinese title||Role||Notes| |2006||Bet to Basic||打雀英雄傳||Nightclub PR| |Love Undercover 3||新紮師妹3||Model Ming| |2008||Playboy Cops||花花型警||Lam Lon's girlfriend| |Storm Rider - Clash of Evils||風雲決| |2009||Short of Love||矮仔多情||Lily| |Split Second Murders||死神傻了||Fong Mei-fong| |Seven 2 One||關人7事||Chrissie| |2010||Womb Ghosts||惡胎||Zoe Kwok| |The Fantastic Water Babes||出水芙蓉||Brenda| |City Under Siege||全城戒備||Youyou / YoYo| |Vampire Warriors||殭屍新戰士||See / Max| |Marriage with a Liar||婚前試愛||KiKi| |2011||Men Suddenly in Love||猛男滾死隊||Tina| |The Killer Who Never Kills||殺手歐陽盆栽||Nana| |Lan Kwai Fong||喜愛夜蒲||Nana| |Hong Kong Ghost Stories||猛鬼愛情故事||Bobo| |2012||Any Otherside||夜店詭談||Amy / Elle| |The Hunter with Blood||獵音師||Short film| |Holding Love||HOLD住愛||Fang Meng| |2013||Paper Moon||紙月亮||Shi Qin| |Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons||西遊·降魔篇||Killer Four| |Together||在一起||Biqi / Vicki| |Lift to Hell||電梯驚魂||Bai Jie / Dr. Ye| |Mr. and Mrs. Player||爛滾夫鬥爛滾妻| |Kick Ass Girls||爆3俏嬌娃||Boo| |My Beautiful Kingdom||我的美麗王國||Awaiting release December 13, 2013| |2014||The Extreme Fox||非狐外傳||Awaiting release January 17, 2014| |Year||English title||Chinese title||Role||Notes| |2013||Romance of Tang′ Kongfu||唐朝浪漫英雄||Tao Yaoyao| 2011 "Award of Merit: Leading Actress"; The Accolade Competition for "Beach Spike". 2013 "Best Actress", The Los Angeles Movie Awards for "Paper Moon". - "Accolade Winners August 2011" - "Chrissie lends voice to minimum-pay workers", The Standard, 3 August 2010 - Chan, Samuel (22 July 2010).

<operating system> (TPF) A real-time mainframe operating system released by IBM around 1976. TPF is particularly suited to organisations dealing in very high I/O message switching and large global networks. Current users include British Airways (reservations), VISA International (authorisations), Holiday Inn, and Quantas. TPF was traditionally a 370/Assembler environment although the latest, release 4.1, contains C. Formerly known as ACP (Airline Control Program), it was renamed "TPF" to suggests its greater scope. It is common for TPF sites to use IBM's MVS and VM operating systems for off-line processing.

buying a new macbook pro by bpenpeci - 12/27/12 10:29 PM I have a 15 inch macbook pro. It's snow leopard, and i bought it 3 years ago during my freshman year in college. I had this thing enhanced and everything (it's an intel core i7, 2.66 ghz with 4gb memory, speed: 4.8gtc), but honestly right now it's worst than a PC. I tried everything, but it gets worse every day. I don't know if I did something to it without knowing, but I cannot stand it anymore, and if I have to optimize my discs (or any kind of thing like that!!) for one more time I'm gonna go crazy. So I'm buying a new macbook pro with retina display (15 inch) and the end price is $3749.00 with: 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM 768GB Flash Storage I added pretty much everything i wanted, but that's a lot of money. could i have my "dream machine" without the 768gb flash or the 16 gb memory? I have a 1,5 TB external drive, so could that compensate for the memory? or should I just get the whole thing? by the way, I should note that I have massive amounts of music, videos, documents etc and I have thousands of software that take up a lot of space and require the highest performance possible. bpenpeci has chosen the best answer to his/her question.

I guess Bachmann is a RINO now.. I wonder what he offered her? I guess Bachmann is a RINO now.. K Street working girl. Cashing her chips in like every last one of them. Yup, we have three more Republicans now to put on our unacceptable list? Do we have any Republicans left who are acceptable? Yes, along with everyone else that voted for Boner. I am finished the Republican Party. He is a cry baby, sorry excuse for a man, that lacks the spine to stand on conservative principles. Bachmann’s always been Little Ms. Personal Ambition. She and Rove go way back. You got that right...let us now throw Bachmann under the bus as a RINO. Time to ask Doug Hoffman from NY-23 to form a new party! The circular firing squad is in full force. Let the democraps have it all. Wow. Is there anybody here is who NOT a whiner today? She always was. She, merely, used conservatives as her stepping stool. The big mouth is a deceiver. Didn’t you notice that in the primary when she lashed out at Perry and lied and didn’t touch the liberal Romney/the GOP choice? She was his loud mouth guard post. But don’t let on, she will be back to conservatives with her fork tongue when they need some buttering up to settle down and behave. Is this the same Michele Bachmann that ran for President? I wouldn’t call her a RINO. However, I don’t feel that she is who people thinks she is. She’s our very own Nancy Pelosi. She says what gets her the money and the election. She doesn’t really do much else. She’ll make noise, but what does she accomplish? Nothing really. She’s like John Edwards. Ever since the election I have been sitting back to watch what happens during the lame duck session of Congress. I have already accepted the sad fact that the Republicans where not going to do anything about all the illegal activity that took place on election day. I even begrudgingly accept the fact that they will never bring up charges of impeachment against Obama. However, for them to be so afraid of him as too give into this farce of a deal is too much for me to accept. We all agree that America is no longer the country we grew up to love, fight for, and respect. Heck, every January 1st there are hundreds of thousands of new laws on the books that take a little more of our rights away. Sadly, while telling us to keep the faith because they will stand in the breach to keep us free, the Republican party continually does the opposite by making deals with the Democrats. The Republicans have their DNA all over the very laws they tell us they will stand against, and this fiscal cliff deal is just one more example of their many broken promises. In my 15 years here, I have done my share of debating many fellow FReepers who thought we should abandon the Republican party. My argument has always been on the side that a third party vote, or even a non vote would only help the Democrats. Well this latest broken promise is the last straw for me. No more. From here on out I will argue for and support a third party. It is time, hell it's way past time for a revolution that will lead to the replacement of the Republican party. Yep...that must be it. :) What amazes me is that soooo many well-meaning conservatives here on FR hate John Boehner...and they join the liberal media, the Obamugabe administration, and the kooks at DU with the same hatred. Boehner isn’t above criticism...but he isn’t the spawn of Satan. Shame on Bachmann! Now I know she is a faux conservative. Unless things don’t change fast an early forecast for the 2016 race is fatass RINO Christie against communist/socialist Thunder-thighs Klintoon. The lamestream media loves both of them. Not a day goes by that I don’t hear that Spankie is the most popular republican in the country and that old Thunder-thighs has the highest favorability ratings in the history of the world. Lord, save this country from more of the crooks from Arkansas and from any liberal closet democrat like Fatty Arbuckle Jr. from New Joursey. I saw MB true character when she and her campaign went after Gov Palin///I have no use for her I think their perspective involved any candidate to replace Boehner. No one was willing to take the job. At least, they weren’t willing to go public. Bachman, herself, would have been one of the possibilities. Others possibilities: Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and Darrell Issa. None stepped forward.

February 24, 2006 Photo from Georgiadogs.com. Georgia held SC to 16 first half points, and held on to win 48-47. I never thought that we would actually be able to win an SEC game while scoring less than 50 points. Bizarre. It was a big win for Georgia because it ensures that the Bulldogs can't have a losing regular season. At worst, Georgia (15-11/5-8) would finish the season at 15-15 with a first round loss in the SEC tourney. Technically, if they went 15-15 and lost in the first round of the NIT, they could still finish sub-.500. Anywho...they get a struggling Mississippi State on Saturday in Starkville. MSU has lost 10 of their last 12 games; however, they've won their last two at home. A win in Starkville gives UGA a legit shot at the #5 seed from the East in the tourney. Box Score Notes: - Georgia held the Gamecocks to 36% shooting from the field. We played outstanding defense in the first half, and the Gamecocks couldn't throw it in the ocean. - Georgia grabbed only 5 offensive rebounds despite missing 30 shots during the game. That isn't a misprint. - Georgia's offense continues to struggle with ball movement, player movement and structure. The team managed only 6 assists vs. 17 turnovers. - Seven minutes into the game, the Dawgs had managed two field goals. - We heated up a little in the second half and played better on offense, but we let our defensive intensity down. - The crowd resembled that of a rhythmic gymnastics meet. Not much of a showing for "Dennis Felton Appreciation Night." No idea what that means or who's brain fart that was, but it wasn't a good idea.

1. A note about the chapter order These drabbles (and the tribble and drabble and a half that finish the final cycle) were written for the 2009 Advent Challenge, hosted by Aranel and Juno. This year, the challenge was to write based on the archetypes of the tarot deck, and on three "wild cards," in which two previous cards' archetypes were somehow to cross paths. For one of these "wild cards," "Caritas," I wrote a double set of encounters: two meetings, between two different pairs of protagonists. Even allowing for the difficulties of straightening out a set of four story cycles that were non-linearly composed, "Caritas" presents a problem. It occurs at different points in each story cycle. After thinking it over, I decided that "Caritas" does significant developmental work for Lobelia and for Melkor, so I have placed a link in the Lobelia cycle that leads to "Caritas," and added a link to "Caritas" that leads back to the next drabble in Lobelia's cycle. In the case of Melkor, reading in order will lead through "Caritas." If you want to know what the original order of writing was, that is preserved here. The cycles in internal chronological order are: The Bolgeriad: The Fool (Dramatis Personae), The Magician (Smoke & Mirrors), Temperance (Into the Storm), The Lovers (Right Neighborly), The Hanged Man (Down-turvy Days), The Sun (New Day) [and When Archetypes Love (Caritas)] The Lúthien cycle: The Fool (Dramatis Personae), The Moon (The Veil), The High Priestess (First Freedom), The Tower (Two Towers), Death (The Valley of the Shadow), [When Archetypes Love (Caritas)], Justice (Unbound). The Lobeliad: The Fool (Dramatis Personae), The Empress (Southfarthing), The Wheel of Fortune (Stone Under Hill), Lust (Bag End), The Pope/Hierophant (Night Bloom), The Hermit (Old Growth), When Archetypes Love (Caritas), The Star (Hardbottle) The Melkoriad: The Fool (Dramatis Personae), The Emperor (Apokatastasis Panton), When Archetypes Meet (Apokalypsis), The Chariot (Homoousios), When Archetypes Fight (Daimon), The Devil (Metaousiosis), The Angel (Mania), When Archetypes Love (Caritas), The World (Catharsis) Enjoy the stories! - Dwim This is a work of fan fiction, written because the author has an abiding love for the works of J R R Tolkien.

Hawks Start Streak With Win Over Barons - Release Date: - January 31, 2009 - The Office of Sports Information - (716) 649-7900 ext. 333 The Hilbert College men’s basketball team started its first winning streak of the season by defeating Franciscan University 56-52 on Saturday afternoon (January 31, 2009). With the win, the Hawks improve their record to 4-15 overall, 3-9 in AMCC play. The Hawks fell behind 13-0 to start the game. As Hilbert had shown several times this season, they can bounce back from a deficit. The Hawks stopped the Baron run with a jumper from junior Chad Lindner (Hamburg, NY/Frontier) at the 11:50 mark of the first half. Hilbert would settle down and outscore Franciscan 23-11 over the remainder of the half, to take a 25-24 lead into the locker room. In the first half the Hawks shot 38.5% from the floor and committed just five turnovers. The Hawks also controlled the glass in the opening 20 minutes, notching an 18-14 advantage. In the second half, Hilbert continued their momentum from the opening stanza. Senior Ian Frost (Cherry Creek, NY/Pine Valley) scored eight points in 1:55 to push the Hawk lead to 37-29 with 13:27 remaining in the game. The Barons would battle back to tie the game at 40-40 with 8:41 remaining in the game. Hilbert refused to fold and outscored Franciscan 16-12 over the remainder of the game to secure its second victory in as many games. Senior Dan Terrette (Shinglehouse, PA/Oswayo Valley) led the Hilbert with 12 points and seven rebounds. Junior Kyle Stark (Plattsburgh, NY/Seton Catholic) added 10 points off the bench. Hilbert outscored Franciscan’s bench 23-8 Hilbert shot 40.8% from the floor and committed just eight turnovers on the evening. The Hawks return to action Wednesday February 4, at 8:00 pm at Penn State Behrend.

unworldly love that has no hope of the world that cannot change the world to its delight At about 22 minutes in this July 1987 class on Williams by Ginsberg, he talks about what he calls "Paterson: The Wanderer (A Rococo Study)," although in other places on the web I only see it referred to as "The Wanderer: A Rococo Study." Nevertheless, Ginsberg describes it as the early poem (1914? 1917?) that explains "how [Williams] got to be the great poet of Northern Jersey." Also in this file: Wordsworth and spots of time, Williams and Zen ordinary mind ("If you want to get high, don't; if you want to get high, get down"), Williams as super8 artist super haiku artist sound haiku artist.

A FedEx truck driver is being hailed as a hero after he rescued a woman from a car that was about to burst into flames last Thursday. Take that UPS. After an accident occurred in Grass Valley, CA between a car and a semi-truck, FedEx driver Scott Teuscher came across the scene, according to KTVU News. When he first pulled up, he thought everyone was all right. He soon figured out that wasn't the case when he spoke to other bystanders: I said "did everybody get out?" And they said "well here's the truck driver." And I said "ok, what about the car?" They said "we don't know." I said "you don't know?!" Teuscher went to the window of the car and noticed the driver was unconscious and still in the car. Even though there was diesel fuel spilling out of the semi all around them, Teuscher jumped into action and pulled the woman from the car. Moments later, the car ignited and exploded. After he left the scene, Teuscher went right back to work. He doesn't consider himself a hero and just hopes that people would do the same thing to rescue him if he were trapped. Hat tip to $kaycog!

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.Practice and care are two made one. With red leaves left after frostWhen someone dies the spirit, they say, leaves. The body is experienced as vacated. I think differently. That you gathered under the trees You brew tea, call me in A most generous thought! We sit here not speaking; The mountain window is still, But pine winds from ten thousand peaks Stir in the kettle. - Gensei (1623-1668) With death the spirit goes still and silent. It does not vacate. It doesn't move or activate or sound through. Instead, it rests. In peace. Unmoving. Stillness is life at peace. No wonder stillness is unrecognized. As is God.

A child stands near the site where a fuel tanker was attacked and set ablaze in Jamrod, located in Pakistan's northwest Khyber Agency, November 6, 2010. (Xinhua/Reuters File Photo) By Jamil Bhatti ISLAMABAD, April 22 (Xinhua) -- Living behind the bars for last 15 years, Tanveer Abbas (alias), 30, has been spending every painful day with a question nagging in his mind, "What is his fault that makes him to face life imprisonment?" Sitting at the floor of a prisoners' cell in the central jail in Pakistan's historical city of Multan, Abbas narrated how he was abducted and raped by five notorious men turn-by-turn for more than a week before throwing him comatose in the outskirts of the city. He was 9th class student in a secondary school in Vehari district in southern part of the Punjab province when he faced that unforgettable tragedy which spoiled his whole life. "After they brought me in a house they took off my clothes and burnt them, they kept me all the time naked besides torturing," said Abbas. "The incident made my life painful, I had to leave my school because every body was hating and laughing at me." Culprits were free. Instead of taking action on his complaints police blamed him that he did this himself intentionally for some money. Abbas could not bear the social humiliation and finally bought a pistol and killed three of them before getting sentenced for 25 years imprisonment by the courts. According to a report "Cruel Numbers" issued by Sahil, a non governmental organization (NGO) working exclusively on child sexual abuse and exploitation in Pakistan, in 2010 a total of 2, 252 children were sexually abused throughout the country. The report tells a harsh reality that these figures are based on reported incidents so the actual number might be much larger as majority of people hesitate to report for their social face saving. The Sahil, that monitors 66 newspapers daily across Pakistan to collect statistics, categorized the crime in three major categories showing that 48 percent cases were of rape/sodomy, 31 percent cases of gang-rape/sodomy and 19 percent cases of attempt of rape/sodomy. Both sexes were assaulted as girls became victims with 73 percent and boys 27 percent, under most vulnerable age of 11-18 years for girls and 6-15 years for boys. A total of 4,543 abusers were involved in abusing 2,252 children among whom more than half of the victims faced one time abuse and 21 percent were abused for more than a day. Almost 67 percent of the cases were reported from rural areas whereas 33 percent were reported from urban areas. Sodomy is covered under the law of Pakistan Penal Code. "Our state considers sodomy a far more serious crime than vaginal penetration or any other sexual violence, definitely we shall have to deal evil with iron hand to eradicate it," said Muhammad Rafiq, a social worker against this crime. Some religious scholars suggested sentence to death to stop this rising evil, which always was considered as unnatural and against humanity. The courts performance has been remained satisfactory but people consider the worst role is of police, which has almost failed to control the crime and punish culprits due to their own interests. Recently Punjab province police arranged sodomy of a young boy in custody by a criminal in jail. In another case in the east city of Lahore three police officers arrested a boy, beat and raped him in custody, and later distributed a video of the rape. This terrible offense has invisible motives and reasons behind it but porn-addiction, sexual-frustration, use of drugs, psychological-illness, no fear of reprisal from the law and society are considered as common reasons. Many victims of rape, sodomy, and incest were murdered by the rapists to conceal their crime and 80 percent of the survivals have fallen prey to different physical and psychological problems, like sleep disturbance, fatigue, headaches, respiratory infections, chest pains and so on. The children who could not bear depressions become aggressive like "Abbas" and try to avenge the abuse. Sahil recommended dire need of focus on child protection issues, inclusion of a course in primary education to encourage children for body safety, media responsibility, and providing adults and communities with information to recognize the warning signs of sexual abuse. Abbas is not hopeful and does not see any charm in his future life as he would be 40 after spending major golden part of his life in prison. But he still urges the government, people and especially police to favor sodomized/raped people to give them justice so that they can live with some peace in their lives.

Michael Bolton failed to get any time, love or tenderness on Dancing With the Stars last night, getting eliminated in the second round after his disastrous “Hound Dog” jive. The balladeer was next to go after David Hasselhoff hung up his dancing shoes last week, taking his partner Chelsie Hightower with him, reports Access Hollywood. “I’m disappointed… Chelsie’s been awesome and I wanted her to go on and on as well, so disappointed,” Michael said after learning the news in front of the audience who gave him a standing ovation. “Michael is such a genuine person and it… was such an honor to work with you and I really am so proud of you,” Chelsie told her partner. Judge Bruno Tonioli sparked outrage from fellow judge Len Goodman — and many of the celebrity contenders and professional dancers — after he called Michael’s dance the worst in 11 seasons of the show. On Tuesday’s show, even co-host Tom Bergeron chided Bruno for being “hard” on the “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You” singer. “Me? I’m the nicest person ever,” the judge said in his own defense. “I think Rin Tin Tin would have done a better jive. I mean, he’s a fantastic singer, he’s a wonderful person, it’s nothing personal, but I’m here to call it as I see [it].” But Len responded: “I disagree. I think our job is to educate and enlighten people and to encourage.” He added: “As much as you can think… that sometimes I [can be] a harsh judge, I always try to show a little bit of positive, and maybe then some negative.” Meanwhile, Michael gave his own opinion of Bruno’s remarks saying, “Last night, I think Bruno was inappropriate and disrespectful. Other than that, it was a phenomenal experience up ‘til now.” The ABC show also addressed another incident from Monday’s performance — the alleged chorus of boos at Sarah Palin. On Monday, right before Tom interviewed Sarah, who came to watch her daughter, Bristol, compete, the audience was heard booing, but ABC revealed it was actually responding to the scores Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough received for their winning jive.

But Palmer residents may be giving thanks now that a Sheetz gas station/convenience store may be arriving by the end of the month instead of around late November. An update was offered on Sheetz at the recent Board of Supervisors meeting as officials said the business and work being done by PennDOT is ahead of schedule. "They are going to start stocking the place after Labor Day," Supervisors Chairman Dave Colver said. "The project is substantially complete." A traffic light is expected to be installed at the corner of Route 248 and Kingston Road by the end of the month, officials said. And all road work, including curbing and an exit from Sheetz onto Route 248 has been completed. Strausser Enterprises is developing the Northwood Center, which includes a CVS that opened right after the new year. Strausser officials have said the new Sheetz would be the largest Sheetz convenience store in the The Sheetz project has stalled for several months as Strausser sought permit approval from the state Department of Transportation.

Introduction to Trust and Honesty in the Real World: A Joint Course for Lawyers, Business People and Regulators Boston University School of Law Harvard University - Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Boston Univ. School of Law Working Paper No. 07-34 Tamar Frankel and Mark Fagan, TRUST AND HONESTY IN THE REAL WORLD, A JOINT COURSE FOR LAWYERS, BUSINESS PEOPLE AND REGULATORS, Fathom Publishing Company, 2007 Open any newspaper and you are likely to find stories of financial scandals, frauds and questionable ethical behavior in the business and professional worlds. The latest and lasting scandals in corporate America touched the highest level of corporate management and professional firms raising the question of whether business leaders are being taught the value of trust and honesty. Yet the very fabric of our economic prosperity and social stability are woven with trust and honesty. Distrust and dishonesty are not new. However, we appear to be at a tipping point where we run the risk of a culture that accepts and justifies corporate abuse of trust and dishonesty. The consequences include higher costs, slower growth and less freedom. The goal of these course materials is to help students and seasoned practitioners recognize the ease with which trust and honesty can be lost, understand the impact of the business environment and social culture on trust and honesty, and explore measures to reinforce and, if necessary, restore trust and honesty in the business world. These course materials are founded on Trust and Honesty, American's Business Culture at a Crossroad (Frankel, 2006). The centerpiece of each module in this book is a case study drawn from actual business experience. Assigned readings from Trust and Honesty provide context for each teaching module. The case study assessments and discussions are used to highlight and illustrate the issues in more specific and practical terms. They demonstrate the complexity and indeterminacy of the issues. Role plays are provided with each module to provide the students with opportunities to test their ideas, simulate real life situations, manage tradeoffs and build consensus with their peers.

Guess it depends what you want them for? Quagsire would make a good HM Slave: Sandlash can only learn: As for battle, it depends on the rest of your team. Generally though, Quagsire. Quagsire @ Leftovers (or whatever you can get really) Ability: Water Absorb Quagsire has a x4 Grass weakness, but Ice is now x1 and Water x0 with its ability. If you have a flying or fire type on your team, Quagsire would do good taking some ice and water hits. While Sandslash has slightly higher stats, its ability is near useless, and it has low HP and Sp. Def, coupled with mediocre speed. At least Quagsire's slow and you know it, Sandslash is surprisingly slow. :/

@all: Thank you all for the feedback and compliments. It's great to know that the 1080P mode does work and hasn't caused any damage... yet. @reprep: Congratulations! You seem to have come up with a formula that truly works! I should probably add that the Playstation's (And IOP's) Pixel Clock was 13.5Hz, so maybe it's normal for NTSC and PAL modes to have 13.5Hz pixel clocks.

|Are the Patriots Still Legitimate Super Bowl Contenders Without TE Rob Gronkowski?||Notes and Observations Week 14: Patriots Mount Another Improbable Comeback; Beat Browns 27-26||Connelly’s Top Ten – Patriots Stink but Exciting; Poor Gronk||Patriots Lose Gronk But Complete Miraculous Comeback to Beat Browns, 27-26| When you think of former UMass Minutemen who succeed in the NBA, only a handful of names come to mind: Julius Erving, Marcus Camby and Al Skinner, to name a few. It is very difficult to get a shot at playing in the NBA while not coming from a major conference. In last week’s draft, UMass had two hopefuls in Tony Gaffney and Chris Lowe. Realistically, Gaffney was the only one who had a shot of having his name called, but the night came and went and no UMass player was selected. The only Atlantic 10 player who was selected was Derrick Brown from Xavier, taken by Charlotte with the 40th overall pick. Even if their name is not called on draft night, players still have a shot of proving themselves through free agency and summer leagues. The day after the draft, Gaffney joined the Los Angeles Lakers Summer League team and will have almost two weeks to impress the Lakers, and other NBA teams, and earn a roster spot or, at the very least, playing in the NBA Development League. Gaffney, a 6’8″-205 pound senior center, played to his potential during his senior season at UMass where he led the A-10 in blocks (3.8 pg), finished second in rebounds (10.2 pg) and steals (2.0 pg), and averaged a double-double (11.5 ppg and 10.2 rpg). These defensive accomplishments earned him the Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year and he was also named to the A-10 Second Team and All-Defensive Team. Gaffney did see a big increase in minutes to improve his statistics, so he will have to prove that he is not a one year wonder. Joining Gaffney in the Summer League is former UMass guard Gary Forbes. Forbes went undrafted a year ago and has bounced around in different leagues since then. He has played in the NBA Summer League and D-League and this summer will be on the 76ers squad. Going undrafted definitely leaves a little chip on a player’s shoulder and might ignite the fire that helps motivate these players into earning a spot on an NBA team or even stealing a spot away from a second round draft pick. Overall, Gaffney and Forbes both are talented enough to get a chance to play in the NBA and they hope to prove it during the Summer League later this month.

|With this many fans wearing Cherry, it's easy to see why Temple is so tough at home.| It still might, but these are two teams going in different directions. Temple is leaving the friendly confines of Lincoln Financial Field (above), where the Owls are 14-4 against MAC teams since joining the league. Temple posted a couple of shutouts, both over teams that beat Ohio, presumably Temple's toughest opposition for the MAC East title. In the MAC, though, that means little. Someone who can tell you about that is Mike Breese, who runs the Red and Black Attack blog covering Northern Illinois football. The Huskies opened with a 49-26 win over Army (which beat Northwestern), but also gave up 48 points in a loss to Central Michigan. Now they are coming off 40-10 and 51-22 wins over Kent State and Western Michigan, respectively. So anyone who takes anything for granted in this league gets beaten. Hopefully, Temple learned that lesson from Toledo. Breese throws out the questions this week: 1. Just when one team thinks they have a hold of the division, it seems like the next week they get upset by a seemingly lesser-talented surprise team. How do you explain the volatility in the MAC this year, with CMU beating NIU, then NIU beating WMU and EMU defeating CMU just this past week? TFF: There's a lot of emotion involved in football. I've noticed a lot of the upsets come a week after a satisfying win. Maybe the work habits at practice are affected by that. 2. Going off of the last question, how emotionally involved are you with your respective team? Do you have your highs and lows or do you try and keep an even keel the entire season following your respective squad? TFF: I get emotional only in rivalry games, like Villanova and Penn State. Villanova, because I know that school is trying its best to badmouth Temple at every opportunity. Penn State, because I know what a win over that program would have done for credibility in a pro market like Philadelphia. The rest of the season I'm on an even keel. 3. It seems like the MAC is past being a league where just offense prowess can win the league. Is that statement correct? Do you think your team has the right balance this season, or will one side of the ball have to carry the other the rest of the way? TFF: I'm concerned about the offensive balance. Temple has a great running game, but the Owls have not demonstrated (yet) that you can trust the forward pass in a big spot, especially the deep routes. 4. If you could get a top recruit for one position on your team, which one would it be? This Week's Picks HOME TEAM IN CAPS FAVORED TEAM IN PARENTHESIS (point spreads from Tuesday's USA Today) CENTRAL FLORIDA (13 1/2) 31, Ala. Birmingham 17 _ Central Florida beat Boston College, 30-3, and came within a touchdown of beating BYU. UAB is 0-6. Rutgers 14, LOUISVILLE (2) 10 _ Upset special. Gotta believe RU is better than its showing against Navy. Louisville has beaten only Murray State and Kentucky, neither impressively. Temple (13 1/2) 24, BOWLING GREEN 13 _ Falcons score a touchdown against Steve Addazio's third-team defense late in the fourth quarter to cover the number. Hard to expect a third straight shutout against a team with a good QB. Northern Illinois (14 1/2) 30, BUFFALO 14 _ Northern Illinois has looked very good the last two weeks and should cover the number. Central Michigan 17, BALL STATE 14 (1 1/2) _ Upset special No. 2. Chips are an underdog. They win the game outright. Western Michigan 33 (13), EASTERN MICHIGAN 17 _ Eastern Michigan stunned Central Michigan, 35-28, last week. I don't think that's sustainable over two weeks. TOLEDO 44 (17 1/2), Miami (Ohio) 10 _ Despite Zac Dysert, Miami has had trouble scoring. Toledo hasn't. Georgia Tech, a 2 1/2-point underdog, wins at Miami, 24-14; Wake Forest, a three-point favorite, covers the number in a 20-13 win at Duke; Houston, a home 20 1/2-point favorite, covers the high number vs. Marshall. Last week SU: 5-3; ATS 2-7 (including the under in Miami's 9-3 win over Kent State) Season SU: 40-18; ATS 26-31;

This isn't a post about whether non-consent has a place in erotica or not. It clearly does, whether everyone likes it or not. It's controversial. I get that. But I'm not going to debate whether non-consent stories should exist. I'd like to talk about the flavors of non-consent. I like writing about encounters between strangers. The strong forceful male sees something that he wants and takes it. She might enjoy it physically, or she might not. The level of humiliation and sadistic pain varies depending on the story I want to tell. Often, I tell the story from a woman's perspective, so the man is nameless. He's a strong pair of hands and a thick, hard cock taking her against her will. His eyes are piercing, dangerous and hypnotic. She doesn't need to know his name as he takes her intimately and brutally. It's a difficult genre to write. There are hidden pitfalls that make a story enjoyable for some and not so enjoyable for others. For example, I love non-consent. That should be obvious. I don't like stories where there is physical violence that doesn't have sexual overtones. A woman getting punched in the face is not erotic to me. If he twists her nipples while whispering in her ear intensely, it makes me melt into a puddle. I like a plot and a storyline, but it doesn't have to have a deeper meaning. There doesn't have to be a great karma lightning moment for the attacker. He's probably going to get away with it and he won't have any feelings of remorse. She'll be left with a quivering pussy and a secret feeling of satisfaction. Light humiliation is okay. Calling her a whore or a slut must be done with some class and a light touch. Even my own tastes are subtle. I don't like screaming men in my stories. He has to be strong, in control of himself the entire time, intense and...growly. (You know what I mean!) A wrong move could trigger instant dislike. As I write this, I think, 'oh boy, why do I write non-consent, again? It's hard!' Oh right. Because I absolutely love it. The problem I have is with classification. All non-consent is not the same. My stories are not capture fantasies. They are not cleverly hidden romances. They are raw, sometimes unpleasant and (hopefully) always erotic. It doesn't appeal to everyone. Ultimately, I'm okay with that. I have to be. It's impossible to appeal to every reader without losing your voice. I guess all I can do is put up warnings and disclaimers then label my non-consent as best I can for it to find its perfect audience. Any thoughts on this? What do you love about non-consent?

Needs a Better Title + Needs a Better Description + Rolling Updates + Is This Tropable? A company, particularly a studio or a network, has a beloved Cash Cow Franchise that has so many fans. But once they started interfering with it , the fans believe it's being Ruined FOREVER , so they started portraying the company as a villain of the franchise, which would have been Biting-the-Hand Humor if it happens within the franchise. According to The Other Wiki is used in the movie production industrie [sic] to designate the person in charge of making a movie. See also And the Fandom Rejoiced and Tainted by the Preview No fictional examples please, unless it's a parody of this trope. This is about fans insulting their favorite work's property owner, not characters insulting their employer Anime and Manga - Occasionally shows up in Touhou fanworks against Zun, who is literally the only creator. - When Warner Bros. pushed the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to July 2009, Harry Potter fans threw a fit because of this, so they called Warners names like "muggles" and even "Voldemort". - Fans of the James Bond series (especially Daniel Craig fans) view MGM (longtime owner of the series) as a future Bond supervillain when the studio's financial troubles were delaying production of the twenty-third Bond installment. - When it was announced that the sequel rights to Terminator were being purchased by Pacificor, one fan posted a comment on this article screaming "Pacificor is SKYNET!". - Yoshio Sakamoto(sometimes also Team Ninja) might as well be named the new antichrist given on how much flak (half the time completely undeserved) he has been getting from creating Metroid: Other M. - Square-Enix gets this hard these days. How else do you explain Final Fantasy XIII? - "operation cwal" is a cheat for three-second build times in the original Starcraft standing for Can't Wait Any Longer, a group of fans writing stories where the evil Blizzard corporation deliberately held back production of the game. - Upon reading this article about Disney converting Beauty and the Beast into 3D, one fan blamed it on current Disney and Pixar animation heads Ed Catmull and John Lasseter, stating "Before we make Pixar the Gaston in this tale, they did champion hand-drawn animation when they took over the studio." - Inverted with former Disney CEO Michael Eisner. Roy E. Disney was so fed up with Eisner's disastrous actions as CEO (which forced him to leave the company), that during his "Save Disney" campaign with Stanley Gold, he drew several pictures portraying Eisner as the witch from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, according to the book "DisneyWar" by James B. Stewart. - In the mid-nineties, Paramount sent cease-and-desist letters to the webmasters of various Star Trek fan sites on the grounds that the fans were violating intellectual property/copyright laws. The webmasters responded by casting Paramount in the "villain" role, frequently by comparing them to the assimilation-obsessed Borg or other warlike Trek species.

If you’re going to get arrested, do it in San Francisco » According to SF Weekly, you can get vegan food in the San Francisco County jails! Here’s how it happened According to Eileen Hirst, chief of staff at the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, S.F. County jails didn’t always have vegan meals. “In the mid-’90s, the organization PETAS.F. activists* was demonstrating outside Neiman Marcus,” she tells SF Weekly. “A large group was arrested, and they asked for vegan meals.” Sheriff Michael Hennessey looked into getting vegan meals for the PETA protesters, and found that it could be easily done. So thanks to the PETA protesterslocal activists, S.F. jails now serve vegan meals. “Vegans do get arrested from time to time, so we never thought of ending [the vegan meals] even though the fur protests are over,” Hirst says. Vegan food other places? Not so much. Something to think about when you plan your next crime spree. Kitty in jail photo by phphoto2010 on Flickr.com. Kitty are you sad about no vegan food? *including the amazing Anita Carswell, a force of nature not to be messed with!! Vegan food for prisoners: vegan food for thought » Is veganism a religion? Maybe not, but this article by attorney Sherry Colb makes a good case for veganism being taken as seriously as religious faith—at least in the prison system. In the article, Ms. Colb examines the case of Paul Cortez, a prison inmate convicted of killing his girlfriend in February 2007. Mr. Cortez went vegan about two years ago, citing the cruelty and aggression in the prison system as the wakeup call that prompted him to give up animal products. Mr. Cortez’s new lifestyle hasn’t been well received by the prison system, however, which has maintained that the only way for him to get access to vegan food is for him to show a bona fide religious basis for his food choices and claim protection under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, a piece of legislation preventing federally funded institutions (including prisons) from placing “substantial burdens on religious practice.” Ms. Colb makes a compelling case for accommodating the dietary requirements of vegans in the prison system by making a strong case for the ethics of vegans, and she even ends up advocating a vegan diet for all inmates. It’s nice to see this issue getting some real scholarly consideration in a mainstream legal forum (even though I still think it’s balls that vegans have to prove that their ethics are somehow comparable to religious beliefs, still the gold standard for evaluating sincerely held beliefs), and hopefully this is just the beginning. Check out the article, and maybe consider sending a copy to the warden of your local penitentiary. And while you’re at it, why not write a letter to a vegan in jail, and consider your good deed done for the day!

Samsung Galaxy S III vs Galaxy S II – What’s Changed! In the above specs comparison you can see how much better the galaxy S III is than S II. Although the device has the same display which S II and many other Samsung mobiles have, Its Super AMOLED. But now it has improved the resolution to 720 x 1280 pixels which makes it a HD display. What are the awesome changes in Galaxy S III? - Display – Its Super HD AMOLED now - Screen Size – from 4.3″ to 4.8″ - Display resolution and pixel density – Earlier the resolution( in SII) was just 480 x 800 pixels, now its upgraded to 720 x 1280.

It now has 1.4 Ghz Quad-core processor to boost the overall performance. - More Sensors – Galaxy SIII has all those sensors which Galaxy S II had - Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass. But in addition, it has two more sensors – RGB and barometer. - Increased Battery Life – Not sure if the battery life has actually increased or not S3 ships with better battery of 2100 mAh instead that 1650 mAh battery. What did not change - Camera – It has the same old 8 MP camera with same lenses. - GPU – It has that same old Graphics processing unit; Mali-400. - RAM – Same 1 GB ram.

Every year my children make wish lists for Christmas. As they’ve grown older, their lists have gotten longer and the prices have increased. Cell phones. iPods. Clothes. Video games. As parents we want to give our kids everything they want, but when do we go too far? I’ve been struggling with this the past couple of weeks. I’ve been hesitant to purchase the big ticket items, wondering if I’m doing my kids a disservice. The last thing I want to do is raise entitled kids. Yesterday at lunch I asked them how much they think we should spend on each child. My oldest jokingly said, “A thousand dollars.” I nearly spit my drink across the table. Instead, I gave him a you’ve-got-to-be-kidding look. Then he smiled and said, “Makes five hundred sound pretty good, huh?” I had to laugh. All joking aside, it shows my kids have high expectations of what they want under the tree and it’s up to my husband and I to show them the true meaning of Christmas. So what do kids really need for Christmas? Time together: Whether the Christmas tree is 2 feet or 8 feet tall, cut down or pulled out of a box, kids want to experience the feel of Christmas. Every year on the first Saturday in December we blast Christmas songs and decorate for the holidays. We put up the Christmas tree and fill it with ornaments, hang garland on our staircase, and string lights on the house. We all work together and enjoy this yearly tradition. One of my kids loves the smell of our “Christmas candle” that sits in the middle of our kitchen table during the holidays. Just last night he picked it up, smelled it, and said, “Ah, smells like Christmas.” Love: When my babies were small I smothered them with kisses. As they’ve grown into teenagers I still hug and kiss them, but I’ve found they need words of affirmation too. Recently, I had a difficult conversation with one of my kids. Midway through, I felt God’s gentle nudge to say, “I love you so much.” Let’s remember to say these words to our kids during good and bad times. Words of affirmation will last a long longer than any present under the tree. Acts of service: Let’s face it; we all tend to be selfish. Our busy schedules don’t allow for much community service, but it’s important to show kids that life exists beyond our four walls. When my oldest daughter was in junior high, we created a Christmas box for an elderly person. We had so much fun picking out the different items, and my daughter spent countless hours knitting a pink scarf. She was so proud of her hard work and still talks about it to this day. Every year we get our kids involved with picking out and purchasing a gift for a child that wouldn’t otherwise receive one. Other Ideas: Watch Christmas movies together, bake cookies for our neighbors, listen to Christmas music, tell stories as you sit by the fire, invite friends to church, read the Bible story of Christ’s birth. Most of the time, what we need is totally different than what we want. Jesus came to earth as a baby born in a manger. He is the best gift of all. How do you show your kids the true meaning of Christmas?

I like to call Persia from time to time on Skype. No reason, really. I just like to check in, see how the Persians are. Thankfully now, I can check in whenever I feel the desire. Ridiculous intro’s aside, EQO Communications, an Internet Communications platform that enables mobile VoIP calling and instant messenger services including AOLInstant Messenger, ICQ, GoogleTalk, Jabber, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! InstantMessenger and Skype, has taken all of that and moved it to the BlackBerry platform (and yes, Treo’s, too). Currently supported on the Pearl, 8700 series, 7100 series, 7200 series, and 7500 series. Another pretty great reason to be a BlackBerry user.

|Figure 2 from Core et al 2012| Professor John Hafernik and his team found the larvae of this fly inside up to 10-15% of foraging worker bees in autumn. The fly larvae kill workers in about 7 days.Flies were found in samples from migratory bee colonies that travel over much of the US 48 states, so the problem is not restricted to California. Indeed moving the colonies may spread the fly. Panel B shows the adult fly landing briefly on a bee and laying eggs - a process that takes only a few seconds. This seems to happen while the workers are collecting nectar and pollen. After about a week, the 3-20 larvae feeding inside the worker have grown large. At this point infected workers abandon the hive, often at night, and fly away. They are attracted to lights where they seem disoriented and uncoordinated. Normal bees almost never fly at night. Up to 91% of the workers found at lights at night were infected with the flies. Typically the next day the bee dies and some time later fly larvae crawl out of the bee (panel C) to pupate in the soil and later emerge as adults. Hive abandonment is part of Colony Collapse Disorder, and this fly may be contributing to that syndrome. The researchers found that the adult flies may be carriers of several honeybee diseases, so may spread them from one hive to the next. Although these flies are a native part of the large suite of parasites, parasitoids, and diseases which attack our native bumblebees, they pose a disturbing new threat to bumblbees. Why? Bumblebee colonies are much smaller than honeybee hives and are very small in spring and early summer, so the fly's native hosts are not as abundant. Flies may build up to much larger numbers by feeding on very numerous honeybees. The researchers showed the flies attack bumblebees and honeybees indiscriminately, so populations of native bumblebees may be diminished as an unintended consequence of keeping honeybees. A further risk is that honeybees and to a smaller extent bumblebees are shipped between continents. If infected North American worker bees end up in regions where the fly is not native, damage could spread. Because infected bees are uncoordinated, clumsy, and go out at night they have been dubbed "zombie bees". This may give some zombie movie fans a thrill, but this risk is a serious one because our pollinators are already at risk from pesticides, disease, and other parasites.

8. ‘Ted’ (Gross: $218.7 million) Never underestimate the power of sentient, pot-smoking teddy bears. ‘Family Guy’ creator Seth MacFarlane found crazy success at the summer box office with ‘Ted’. The movie’s brand of dick-and-fart jokes holds the distinction being not only 2012’s eighth-highest grossing movie, but also the biggest R-rated comedy ever.

The Voice of the Martyrs Executive Director Tom White has passed away, the organization announced Wednesday, April 18. White was a central presence in the VOM set-up and served at the ministry for over 20 years. He worked alongside the VOM co-founders, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand and helped the VOM grow throughout the 20 years he served. "All of our hearts are heavy at this loss, and most of all heavy for Ophelia, Tom's loyal help-mate through years of ministry... and for his children and grandchildren," ministry leaders are recorded as saying in a statement on the VOM website. The Wurmbrands founded VOM in 1967 after Richard was imprisoned for 14 years in Romania for expressing his Christian faith. In addition, Sabina was held for three years, and it was only upon their release that they came to the United States. According to the VOM website, White taught English in the Cayman Islands in the 1970s; in 1979 his private plane crashed in Cuba. He was sentenced to 24 years in a Cuban prison and suffered great brutality at the hands of the police. However, it also provided him the opportunity to meet other leaders of the targeted Christian churches. He wrote about his experiences in the book God's Missiles Over Cuba: The Tom White Story. White also met the love of his life, Ofelia, whom he called his "quiet little Costa Rican angel" in prison. White was freed from the Cuban prison after Fidel Castro received international pressure and personal appeals from Mother Theresa and other leaders. Since his experiences, he has held a soft spot for Cuban Christians, who have faced persecution in the country. "Pray that [Christians] continue to exhibit the same kind of courage in their poverty," he told the Christian Post in 2008. "They knock the walls out of their houses and convert them into little house churches. Pray that they continue to be inspired and have creativity." The Voice of the Martyrs is a non-profit, interdenominational Christian organization that provides support to those Christians in foreign countries. Its mission is founded on Hebrews 13:3, which states "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."

I had occasion to see, hear and talk with Tom Donnelly frequently in 2008 as he took the plunge and ran for contested political office for the first time, when he became one of our three county commissioners. He was shy and somewhat hesitant at campaign events, not at all the type of candidate who is in it for the glory. He just knew that our county government needed a strict, logical approach in fiscal matters to get through these challenging times, and he could not sit by and let the county go the way of so many cities and counties in the U.S. recently, into higher taxes and unmanageable financial straits. He spoke in direct terms. You knew what he intended to do if elected. Now four years later, Donnelly and his two fellow commissioners have done exactly as promised. Larimer County is well-managed, in spite of the challenges of today's economy. No glaring headlines about fiscal cliffs and overcommitted future obligations. Take the time to hear Donnelly discuss county government. He is more comfortable now talking with voters, but every bit just as direct in what he says. Kirk Brush, Fort Collins

"I think the heart of the policy is good. We all want our younger generation to learn to make healthy choices, to make healthy choices, in many cases healthier choices than what we have made so that they will have healthy long lives." Her main concern is that the district does not have enough time to educate students about healthy nutrition choices. Minus that education, she said, students may balk at not having a choice about what to eat. She said she saw this last year when they changed the content of school lunches. "I just think there needs to be an increased awareness of healthy choices. There just needs to be a lot of learning that needs to take place," she said. "Nobody likes to be told what to do and specifically nobody likes to be told what they can and cannot eat," Katie McDonald, a clinical dietician at Primary Children's Hospital, said. It would be nice to provide students with options, she said, but schools face the difficult task of providing quality, bulk, meals on tight budgets. However, she said, change is needed. "I think these guidelines are very well intended. I think the epidemic with obesity is undeniable. Nobody can argue with that and we need to do something." The guidelines have a good start in offering fewer empty calories and smaller portions, and will provide students with positive eating habits, which may in turn influence their families. "Schools do have an important role in setting a high standard," McDonald said. "Still, it is the family that has the primary responsibility." Families can supplement the healthy choices that kids are making at schools by learning about nutrition, she said. Some resources she recommends are Kids Eat Right, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Department of Agriculture's My Plate Initiative. - Many Mormon missionaries who return home... - Rare snowstorm traps I-15 motorists overnight... - About Utah: After 72 years, Keith Hottinger... - Legal analysis supports Utah's law on getting... - The pipes are calling: Salt Lake Methodist... - 'Delusions' make condemned killer Ron... - Ute Tribe sues Wasatch County over... - Drunk driver crashes through West Valley... - Many Mormon missionaries who return... 108 - Federal website fixes allowing more... 44 - As winter takes hold, needs increase... 29 - Legal analysis supports Utah's law on... 28 - Utahns react to death of Nelson Mandela 27 - Expelling Santa from school?

DIY Nursery Name Sign This project will stand out in any nursery and can be easily customized by choosing your own colors and fonts. In addition you can use fabric that is used in other accessories for your baby’s new room. - Wooden letters that spell out your baby’s name - Wooden frame with raised edges and sawtooth picture hangers attached to the back. The frame needs to be at least a 2-3 inches longer than the baby’s name. - White paint - Color paint (a color that will be in contrast to the fabric) - Two brushes - Fabric (a small pattern is preferable) - Paint dish or disposable plates 1. Paint the edge of the frame white. The center does not need to be painted because it will eventually be covered with fabric. Set aside to dry. 2. Paint all the letters that make up the baby’s name. Make sure that all the edges of the letters are also completely covered with paint. Set aside to dry. 3. Cut a piece of cardboard that fits loosely into the frame. There needs to be a bit of room for the fabric. Cut a piece of fabric that is about 1” (2.5 cm) wider than the cardboard around all the edges. Wrap the fabric to the cardboard and attaching it with tape or glue. 4. Once the frame is completely dry, glue the fabric covered cardboard piece in the center of the frame. 5. Place the letters on the fabric (no glue) and space the letter out evenly. Once you find the placement that seems right attach the letters to the fabric with glue.

In a amateur fight in Slovenia one boxer took exception to a referee’s actions in the ring. The referee went to step in mid clinch between the two boxers and Kristen Radan decided to lash out with a hook to his face, reason’s we are not quite sure of as yet. In one of the more bizarre acts in boxing of recent memory, the referee proceeded to take the blow like a champ without so much as a wobble before immediately disqualifying Kristen. We are sure his boxing license will soon be revoked as well. Cheers to the ref, taking a boxers punch like a real man and the exacting immediate revenge.

James Franco has never been one to be bothered by people questioning his sexuality. In fact, Franco told The Daily Beast during an interview that he wishes he was gay. "'Great! Bring on the gay jokes! because these aren't insults at all,'" he began to say referencing his roast that occured last week, "I don't even care if people think I'm gay, so it was like, 'Awesome!' I mean, I wish I was…I wish I was gay." The actor explained his statement a little further by saying, "I mean, we don't have to go into it. But as far as that larger phenomenon that you're talking about that happens to other actors, part of it is that movies are a place where people can project things and identify with characters, and it's the same thing with actors outside of their roles—and it's been that way since Hollywood was around. "That's why there's a lot of conjecture. That's been one of my things, too. My relationship with my public image over the past four or five years has just become weirder and weirder, because I look at it and it's me, and it's not me, so if other people want to use that for their own purposes or needs, I'm fine with it." Franco echoed a similar sentiment while talking with E! News' Marc Malkin during the Toronto International Film Festival. "I got nothin', it was easy," he said of the jokes thrown his way. "And like, for me, the greater scheme of things—gay jokes as an issue is one thing but when people make fun of me being gay it's like [shrugs] do it all day! It doesn't bother me in the slightest."

I did not enjoy writing the prospectus for our Initial Public Offering in 1985. Translating a clear statement of the company's goals and strategy into weasel words under a pressing deadline, in endless meetings filled with lawyers and accountants who argued with each other, billing the time to us pales, in my mind, with other avocations such as lying on the beach or juggling chainsaws. Here is what we were trying to get across in the prospectus: the original draft that ended up devolving into the mealy-mouthed final document. It's the best statement I know of regarding where we were in 1985 and how we saw the company's future. The odd focus on ``products'' is because the big thing at the time was not to be seen as a One Product Company. Rough Draft 6 by John Walker -- 4/16/85 01:27

Disclaimer: This article is part of my series on free agency from the perspective of the agent, where I prepare Scott Boras-esque "books" that detail where each player stands in the marketplace and why he deserves as much of your team's money as possible. Normally, my goal is to use statistics and historical context to present the most accurate depiction of football that I can, but in this series, all I want to do is convince you to spend money on the player in question. As a result, I may include information or suggest comparisons that I don't necessarily agree with, just as an agent might try to play up his clients' strengths. Keep that in mind when you're reading. (For more on this, check out the Monday piece on Mike Wallace that started this series, and the subsequent articles covering Packers quarterback Matt Flynn and Texans pass-rusher Mario Williams.) In a league that gets more and more pass-happy each year, Arian Foster represents an opportunity for a forward-thinking team to get ahead of the curve. As the nickel alignment becomes the base defense for most NFL teams, organizations around the league are acquiring and developing players with far more regard to their abilities defending against the pass than their performance against the run. In the old days, going three wide on offense forced a defense to bring its weaker players onto the field. Now, offenses are beginning to realize that they can do that by going with heavy formations, packing the line of scrimmage, and using an intelligent runner to pick apart teams used to dropping back at the snap. Just as the NFL fluctuates between moments when the 3-4 and the 4-3 are in vogue, the league will continue to fluctuate between times when passing is king and times when running the ball down the opposition's throat is job one. A team that chooses to build its offensive identity around an effective running game in 2012 can acquire road-grading offensive linemen, ferocious tight ends, and a dominant running back far easier than it can a passing offense of similar quality. Arian Foster is the exact sort of player around whom any sort of rushing attack can be built, because he's not just a mere running back; he's a football player. In an era of specialized roles, absent durability, and terrible inconsistency from even the league's highest-paid running backs, Foster is a three-down back for whom the opposition must account on every single play. And while some players use that "three-down" adjective to mask the fact that they're not very good at their primary duty, Arian Foster has produced two of the most impressive seasons in recent memory over the past 24 months. In fact, considering that little fact about the league becoming so pass-happy, it might actually be two of the most impressive seasons in a lot longer. The Best Runner in Football Over the past two years, Arian Foster has suited up for 29 regular-season games as the Texans' starting running back. What he's done in those games, very simply, has not been matched by anyone else in football. Across those 29 games, Foster has produced a whopping 2,840 rushing yards on only 605 attempts. Running backs just don't do that these days. At the most basic level, we can note that Foster has averaged 97.9 yards per game during those 29 games. That's more than any other player in football, and outside of Maurice Jones-Drew, no other player is within nine yards of Foster's total. He's also led the league in rushing touchdowns over that time frame, with his 26 rushing scores producing an average of nearly one per game. And among players with 400 carries or more over the past two seasons, Foster is tied for second-best in yards per carry, with only LeSean McCoy ahead of Foster's 4.7-yard rushing average. Based solely on his performance running with the football, we can safely suggest that Arian Foster has been the most productive rusher in the NFL over the past two seasons. His numbers are even more impressive, though, when we consider them in context with what other great running backs from history have done when they were 24 and 25, as Foster was over the past two years. Despite playing in an era in which the running back and the running game have been de-emphasized around the league, Foster's 97.9 rushing yards per game ranks 10th all-time among backs who carried the ball a combined 400 times or more during their age-24 and age-25 seasons. His average of 4.7 yards per carry, meanwhile, ranks an impressive 14th. In each case, Foster's performance is better than those by several Hall of Famers and recent standouts. Those cases include: Can't Stop, Won't Stop Foster's 2011 performance is even more virtuous when you consider how thin the stars around him got on offense. Every running back would benefit from having Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson around them to occupy defenders, but when Schaub and Johnson (and guard Mike Brisiel) went down with injuries and missed most of the second half of the season, it was Arian Foster who stepped up to make big plays for the Houston offense. Despite playing next to a rookie quarterback and going against nine-man fronts at times, Foster's performance actually improved once T.J. Yates got into the lineup. Those seven games without Schaub at quarterback include two playoff games in which Foster was dominant. During Houston's playoff adventure, Foster carried the ball 51 times for a whopping 285 yards, an average of nearly six yards per attempt. Arian Foster has the mental and emotional characteristics of a team leader, and his performance backs up that story. When his team needed him most, Foster strapped the Houston offense onto his back and carried it as far as any running back could. The Well-Rounded Man While some great running backs are nonentities in passing situations, Arian Foster is a dangerous weapon that can create first downs out of even the slightest lapse in defensive concentration or the smallest mismatch. Over the past two years, he's been the second option in the Houston passing game, as only Andre Johnson has averaged more catches per game than Foster. And when you combine that receiving work with Foster's performance as a ballcarrier, well, you realize just how special a player Arian Foster truly is. In addition to his 97.9-yard-per-game rushing average, Foster has chipped in with 42.1 receiving yards per game as a pass-catching threat out of the backfield. That's a total of 140.0 yards from scrimmage per game. As you might suspect, that's the most of any running back in football over the past two years, but there's more to it than that. Nobody's been able to match that total in six years, as the last guy to average 140 yards from scrimmage per game over a two-year stretch was Tiki Barber in 2005-06. Only five players have pulled that off since the turn of the millennium, and it's a who's who of multipurpose threats: Barber, Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes, Edgerrin James, and LaDainian Tomlinson. With all that production, it's obvious that Foster is an enormous part of the Texans offense. The extent to which that is true, though, is notable. In 2010, when Foster played all 16 games, he was responsible for 35.9 percent of Houston's yardage from scrimmage, the highest such percentage in the league. In 2011, when Foster played in 13 games, he still managed to accrue 30.9 percent of his team's yardage, which was the fourth-highest percentage in the league. If we don't consider the games Foster missed and replace a gritty 40-yard performance in Week 2 from a clearly injured Foster with those two playoff games, he actually gathered 39.5 percent of Houston's yardage from the line of scrimmage by himself in that 15-game sample. Only Maurice Jones-Drew was responsible for more. Even while alongside a franchise quarterback and a world-class wide receiver, Foster has been essential to one of the league's best offenses. While we mentioned Foster's injury, it's also worth noting how durable he's been as a professional. Despite a heavy workload in 2010 and toward the end of 2011, Foster's only notable injury during his football career has been a hamstring pull that cost him part of the 2011 campaign. Foster's shown a hunger to play through minor injuries at both the college and professional levels, and unlike players who have been put through the wringer, Foster's proven production has come without the damning long-term effects of an unsustainable workload. Foster has just 659 pro carries on the board, which is nearly 50 percent fewer than the 1,198 carries Adrian Peterson received through age 25 before signing his long-term extension with the Vikings and promptly suffering a torn ACL. Foster's legs should remain fresh for years to come. If you could put together the perfect running back on paper, what qualities would you look for? You'd want a back who was explosive and capable of big plays, but powerful and patient enough to read his blocks while making the consistent gains teams need to move the chains. You'd want a player with the receiving skills to bail out a quarterback under pressure and the pass-blocking ability to prevent that quarterback from being pressured. You'd want a player who was big enough to carry the ball without concerns about overwork, but one with a low center of gravity who slips through the sorts of lazy tackles that abound in the modern game. You'd want a back with a proven history of production who was young enough to improve. You'd want a back with the skills of a first-round pick and the hunger of an undrafted player. If you could put together the perfect running back on paper, you would draw up Arian Foster. Now, thanks to Houston's salary-cap issues and impending free agents on all sides of the ball, you've got one chance to get him.

Upon starting my workday, I really shouldn’t be scanning beer blogs. Unfortunately, the disturbingly nocturnal Phil Cook seems to always post an excellent read just as I am about to begin something productive. Worse, this time it’s motivated me to bloggery with its libertarian-enraging opening paragraph talking about regulation and taxation. After the red mist cleared, and my higher brain functions returned to full (ahem) potency, one thought stuck in my head. The concept of alcohol causing violence, around which much of the latest round of moral finger-wagging and fun-policing seems to be based. Now, while Phil doesn’t really mention the causes of all that regulation and taxation (and why should he? He’s talking about the context around a certain beer and its associated brandwank), it does seem to be taken as read that alcohol causes violent behavior. I mean, we’ve all heard reports of drunken idiots commiting various unsavoury acts, right? Most of us have probably witnessed this for ourselves. Naturally alcohol must be the cause. Best we tax the living bejeezus out of it to “fix” the problem! I mean, that’s always the right answer, isn’t it? Please Mr. Government, I am but a weak mortal. Please regulate others in order to save me from myself. After all, it’s their fault really… Well, what if that’s backwards? Myself, my friends, and a ton of people I am acquainted with drink a fair amount on a regular basis. In the pursuit of flavour and social enjoyment, we often suffer the usual side effects. I’ve never seen any of these people become violent or act like idiots other than in harmless and usually lovable ways. Certainly nothing more than slightly irritating at worst. Where is the evidence that alcohol causes violent behaviour? Is it not far more likely that violent people use alcohol as an enabler or an excuse? If so, why do we punish the producers and sellers by taxing and regulating the crap out of the substance when the vast majority of those who consume it cause no trouble at all? Why should the violent intent of a few idiots impose regulations on the majority of us? More importantly, why do we all just seem to blindly accept this? I think it’s about time we started telling the government and the useless brigade of fun police to just get their goddamn noses out of our business, our pockets, and our drinking habits. There are laws against violent and destructive behaviour already. Use them. Leave us alone.

In 1862 Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. Between 1879 and 1886, more than 100,000 people settled in northern Dakota Territory. To claim 160 acres of free land, a man or woman had to be head of a household and 21 years old. The homesteader paid an $18 filing fee and lived on the homestead for five years. The law required them to build a house, measuring at least 10' x 12', and have at least ten acres of land under cultivation. Immigrants from foreign lands were required to become U.S. citizens in order to claim land.

Learning to read has changed my life. Now, it's easier to get around the city. You give me an address and I know how to get there. I don't have to worry about asking someone. I can pick up my Bible now and read it, or my newspaper. I might get stuck, but I can do it.

Please help me choose a fresh programming language that I can learn with ease and hold command over that. Will java be better in this regard as I want to pursue my career in new programming language. Or else suggest me a better launguage to go for.
