When her job with GE Aviation brought her to Cincinnati, Chelsea Ferrie wanted to continue the Bikram yoga practice she’d started in Chicago. Unable to find a studio dedicated to the hot yoga practice locally, she decided to become a certified instructor and start her own.
Ferrie opened Cincinnati Bikram Yoga at 4794 Red Bank Expressway in Madisonville, in the strip center that also houses Salt of the Earth and Subway, about two months ago. There she, two regular instructors and visiting teachers offer 20 classes a week in Bikram yoga, which is practiced in a 105-degree room with 40 percent humidity.
“I’m a pretty intense person,” the former college soccer player said. “What Bikram does for me is it gives me the calming stretch of the yoga plus a cardiovascular workout with the heat. The heat and the intensity of that heat give the simple postures a cardiovascular impact.”
Ferrie said the practice is suitable for beginners on up to advance students of all body types. New students pay $30 for 30-day introductory package.

Yes they did. It was worth the price of admission alone, although I wanted to also see the new Watchmen trailer which I saw last night online on Youtube.
Did they show the Star Trek trailer? If so, how was it?
Hey PeterApruzzese, I saw a James Bond movie on the same showtime as the other one in your comment. Quantum of Solace, which is way shorter than Casino Royale. Lots of fast action, very little storyline. Sound was decent, although they needed to turn on the right channel for the music to be in stereo (surrounds and center channel were working and the bass too). Also, near the very end, the very bottom of the screen was a bit dark, making reading the numerous subtitles very hard although I wear glasses. Crowd was well behaved, and the food was good (I had a popcorn and diet coke which I shared with my Dad). No splices during the movie too!!!
Just came back from a 12:55 showing of Zack and Miri…great movie. Projection was a bit blurry and there were some minor splices, and the sound mix was a bit buzzy, plus there were only like 10 or so people in one screen compared to Madagascar 2’s four screens with lots of kids and their families!!! BTW, I hope they show “The Dark Knight” in IMAX digital since it might be re-released by Warner that month for Oscar consideration.
I checked AMC’s website again and they now have a section devoted to IMAX. Upon checking the coming soon section, the rollout date for the new IMAX theater is now coming out on January 23 of next year, although there is an asterisk warning that the date might change based on economic conditions and the like. I’m going to the AMC today to see Zack and Miri, the first Kevin Smith movie to be shown at this theater and the first since Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back at the old AMC. As for the IMAX, I guess The Day the Earth Stood Still will be the first one since it’s the last of 2008’s films to be shown also in IMAX.
I checked the AMC website and three new movies are available for advanced ticketing…all of which will not be shown in DLP. Madagascar 2 for the kiddies, Twilight for the teens, and the one I want to see, the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, which is the shortest Bond movie in terms of length and will be shown on multiple screens. This is the second Bond movie to play here, as Casino Royale was one of the first movies to be shown at this theater even though I saw it on DVD. It has done great business over in England and other European countries, so it should do well here in America.
just came back from a showing of Max Payne in theater #13, and me and my dad are the only two people in the theater since most of the crowds went to see either HSM3 or SAW V. Only one splice during the film…but the sound was loud and clear and the presentation was perfect. The popcorn served at this theater is the same as Clearview, good old Orville Redenbacher. Don’t care for the new Queen concert playing next thursday since I liked the band when Freddie Mercury was the lead. Next movie I’m attending will be Zack and Miri with my cousin and her husband.
for the second straight year, there will be no sawfest at this theater next week just in time for the second saw movie to play at this theater. Maybe next year if they ever make a saw vi.
my mistake..it will be a digital flat imax theater. transformers 2 is the first film that will be shown.
Went to see a 4:25 p.m. showing of Body of Lies, the second movie from Ridley Scott to play at this theater. No splices during the feature and previews, although after the preshow ended the film screen was tiny and then the projectionist increased the screen. Crowd was well behaved, although the film was masked off by a bit when it began. Popcorn and soda were good, and pretty soon Coca Cola Zero will be offered as a fountain drink just in time for the new James Bond movie, as soda cups have “Coca Cola Zero Zero Seven”.
I changed my mind and now will try to go see Body of Lies at this theater or Mansfield. BTW, has the economic crisis affected the theater (excluding the mall)? Pretty soon just in time for the holidays prices will go up again; my dad always gets free AMC movie passes from the local dentist over in Denville, Dr. Genung., which I can use on any movie.
I checked out the alternative content section on the AMC website, and Rent isn’t playing here, but good news….the Met series will be finally here for opera fans to enjoy, starting next Monday. The series will conclude next May of 2009. I’m planning on going to Rockaway next week to see Eagle Eye.
Also before the movie began they showed a trailer that was made shortly after the parent company was accused of child labor violations (underage people), check this link out… And on Google Streets and Maps, you can see the theater from Route 80; just drag the guy onto the area near the tetris-like shape of the theater and you’ll see what i mean.
Went to see a 3 p.m. showing of “Burn After Reading”, a great Coen Brothers movie, and the crowd behaved very well. Presentation was very good, with only a splice in the middle of the movie and some minor blotches toward the end. Sound was good and dialogue was clear and loud. Next movie I’m checking out is Eagle Eye, although it won’t be in IMAX at this theater since the next IMAX movie slated to open at the ROckaway will probably be the next Night at the Museum movie.
aren’t they already investing in a current 70mm format? AMC is working hard with IMAX on converting one of their screens to a mini-IMAX screen for opening on the weekend after Memorial Day of next year, which should bring moviegoers back to Rockaway ever since Clearview upgraded its popular theaters to digital projection and 3-d.
AMC should invest in this too. Provided that they have large screens with side masking
starting this weekend, Mamma Mia will be shown with on-screen lyrics that the audience can sing to, similiar to what Sing a Long Sound of Music did a few years ago. Other new releases include Bottle Shock, Bangkok Dangerous, among notable releases. Someday AMC needs to catch up on what Clearview is doing and that is digital projection for regular movies rather than NCM Fathom stuff. At least the new IMAX system will be ready for next year, when one of its screens will be turned into a mini-IMAX for the next summer season.
Sorry for the unclickable link….here it is again…
BTW, I went to see “Pineapple Express” with my aunt in theater #2. Sound was great and projection was decent, quite a few people during a 11:35 showing. While at the box office, the cashier gave me a free ticket for that movie while my aunt paid for her own ticket. This is because I used my moviewatcher card. The only movie playing here that’s on more than one screen is Tropic Thunder. Nothing much has changed since I last visited here except that they now sell UNO pizza here finally!!!
Here’s a video showing some guys doing the rick roll outside the theater…
This is a good article…
The recent delay of the new Harry Potter movie could mean good news for the Rockaway AMC theater, as the IMAX screen will open just in time for a few major releases, such as Transformers 2, Night at the Museum 2, but not Watchmen. With the Dark Knight still making moolah, may a re-release come soon? I doubt it, with the increased revenue from dvd and blu-ray sales. BTW, has anything improved at the AMC in Rockaway besides the NCM Fathom thing?
FYI, the digital projection used for the NCM Fathom is the same equipment used for the digital preshow, which looks blurrier than what Screenvision does for Cablevision’s Clearview chain. Among the summer movies that will be shown on the new IMAX screen in Rockaway will be the next Transformers movie, which promises more robots, explosions, and romance. BTW, Dark Knight is still playing on four screens and will still play for a month or two and become the longest running movie in this theater before hitting the DVD store just in time for the holidays.
it will be a domed screen and will show 3d and regular imax movies.
6/30/2009 is when the imax system comes out…i cant wait!
I was surfing Google News for this theater, and here’s an interesting article from a local moviegoer complaining about the seats not big enough for his big body… | http://cinematreasures.org/comments?page=50&theater_id=17732 | 2013-05-18T10:44:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Podcasts About Movies That I Think You’ll Enjoy
What’s the next-best thing to watching movies, or discussing them with fellow movie geeks face-to-face? Listening to others discuss them! For those times when you’re craving cinema, but you’re by yourself, and/or needing to do a task that requires your eyeballs but leaves your auditory apparatus free, here are audio podcasts that cinema wonks will enjoy.
- Linoleum Knife: Hosts Alonso Duralde and Dave White are genuinely funny and knowledgeable about movies past and present, and about the movie industry. The audio quality is high, and language stays pretty clean. (All of these characteristics are, disappointingly, a rarity when it comes to podcasts about movies!) In a recent episode I thought I heard someone give Dave the nickname “The Velvet Lawnmower”. Listen and find out why that’s a dead-on description.
- Movies You May Have Missed: This podcast’s title sums it up. Rather than try to hit the ever-moving target of current movie-industry news, hosts Juan Carlos Bagnell and Lee Buckley bring attention to films from a lot of different eras and genres that even the most obsessive movie nerds may not know about. Past episodes have covered topics ranging from zombies to Joan Crawford‘s version of “Mildred Pierce”. This podcast introduced me to “Seconds”. The hosts seem to welcome suggestions from listeners.
- Film Misery: Just discovered this one but I plan to start listening regularly. Host Alex Carlson and a changing lineup of guest hosts and co-hosts are extremely polite but don’t take themselves too seriously, the music used in the episodes is listenable, and the audio quality is high.
- Geek Scholars: Another very recent addition to my list, but I’m looking forward to listening and learning more. The lively hosts (Chris, Fox, Lauren and Jill) seem to take the “scholar” part of their podcast’s title seriously.
Honorable mention has to go to the Popcorn Mafia podcast. The only reason I’m cautious about recommending it is the strong language and kinda racy humor. This one definitely merits iTunes’ “explicit” rating. So just use some judgement about where and when you listen. Host Grae Drake obviously knows and loves movies, and her enthusiasm shines through in every episode.
Doing the research for this entry reminded me that many seem to be compelled to create their own podcasts about cinema, but so very few are worth listening to. I encountered several (which will remain nameless) which were really a chore to listen to. Problems like atrocious audio quality, squeaky-voiced hosts, and hosts that guffawed at their own jokes while wildly mispronouncing the names of films or of actors, had me reaching for the “stop” button on iTunes pretty fast.
Also, podcasts that don’t focus exclusively on recent movies and movie news seem to be in short supply. If you’re aware of any that fill this niche that you can recommend, pass them on. Happy listening! | http://cinemawonk.wordpress.com/tag/grae-drake/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:13 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

@MISC{Constantinides00anaspect-oriented, author = {Constantinos A. Constantinides and Atef Bader and Tzilla Elrad}, title = {An Aspect-Oriented Design Framework}, year = {2000}}
With Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), we see a problem as a collection of different issues, and try to find all issues relevant to the problem. We can therefore manage to achieve an improved separation of concerns in both design, and implementation. The goal of AOP is to decompose a problem into a number of functional components as well as a number of aspects and then composing these components and aspects to obtain system implementations. Our work concentrates on the aspectual decomposition of concurrent object-oriented systems. We follow a component hierarchy within the object-oriented programming paradigm. At the lowest level we have a method. Methods are combined into objects. Each object belongs to a class, and several classes can belong to a package. We have categorized aspects according to their hierarchical level of cross-cutting. We achieve composition of concerns through the use of an object we call the moderator that coordinates the interaction of components and aspects while preserving the semantics of the overall system. Since aspects can cut across components at every level, the moderator is a recurring pattern from intra-method to intra-package. Our design framework provides an adaptable model and a component hierarchy using a design pattern. The moderator pattern is an architecture that allows for an open language where new aspects (specifications) can be added and their semantics can be delivered to the compiler through the moderator. In essence the moderator is a program that extends the language itself. Our goal is to achieve separation of concerns and retain this separation without having to produce an intermingled source code.

Equitation refers to a rider's position while mounted, and encompasses a rider's ability to ride correctly and with effective aids.

The canter is a controlled three-beat gait performed by a horse For the bone see Stapes. For other uses of the word stirrup see Stirrup (disambiguation. It is correct for the riders to have a light and steady contact with their horse's mouth the entire ride. Loss of a stirrup or dropping the reins are also faults, and may be cause for elimination. For the bone see Stapes. For other uses of the word stirrup see Stirrup (disambiguation. Reins are items of Horse tack, used to direct a Horse or other animal used for riding or Driving.
In over fences classes (classes in which the horse and rider jump obstacles), the competitor rides over a course of at least six jumps (usually more). Fence height may go up to 3'9". Classes often require at least one flying lead change, and one or more combinations. A lead change refers to an animal moving in a Canter or gallop, changing from one lead to the other A combination, when referring to an obstacle jumped by horses is when two or more fences are placed within 1-3 strides of each other. A combination, when referring to an obstacle jumped by horses is when two or more fences are placed within 1-3 strides of each other However, the course may not include liver pools or open water elements.

courtesy of the luzerne county drug task force Heroin packets, cash and devices were seized from a Newport Township home during a drug bust Sunday. About $17,500 in heroin and crack cocaine was discovered.
Authorities seized $17,500 in illegal drugs and arrested two people in a drug bust Sunday night on 9 Arch St. in the Glen Lyon section of Newport Township.
Police charged James View Jr., 39, and Melissa Doran, 26, with multiple counts of drug trafficking.
Officials with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Luzerne County Drug Task Force raided the residence as part of a monthlong investigation into heroin distribution throughout Hanover Township, Nanticoke, and Newport Township.
Investigators found 801 bags of heroin stamped "Budda" and "Night light," $816 in cash, 15 grams of crack cocaine, a digital scale, cellphones and drug packaging supplies.
The heroin had a street value of $16,000 while the crack cocaine was worth about $1,500, police said.
As part of the joint investigation, Hanover Township's narcotics K-9 "Ado" was used to search the residence and locate the hidden drugs, police said.

Back in 2006 at the media weekend for Stranger Than Fiction, Ferrell seemed poised for a breakout of sorts, a stretch outside the comic mold that had earned him a legion of fans eager to cast him as “the next Adam Sandler,” which is a rather narrow tag when you consider that those guys have very little in common in terms of comic stylings and the fact that they both got breaks on SNL. Although, the more I think about it now, each of them developed into reliable box-office jokesters and then hooked up with serious filmmakers (PT Anderson and co-stars Emily Watson and Phillip Seymour Hoffman for Sandler’s Punch Drunk Love, while Ferrell partnered with Marc Forster and heavyweights Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman in Fiction) in order to transition into the drama club, so maybe they are brothers from other mothers.
Anyway, Ferrell, during interviews for Fiction,
seemed so driven to distance himself from his wild and crazy persona,
that he completely locked the funny guy in the hole. He talked about
comedy from a remove that felt like he was observing that part of
himself from deep space. He was all about the acting, although, to be
fair, it wasn’t in a pretentious, preening manner because he didn’t
need to toot his own horn, since he had Dustin Hoffman telling us, “He
(Ferrell) was acting right from the third or fourth take in the first
scene we had (together), and I said, ‘uh-oh, he’s more real than I am.'
And I went to the director and I said that he (Ferrell) is really
working very subtly.
I caught up with Ferrell a couple of years later, much closer to home in Columbus, when he was on a publicity tour for the basketball comedy Semi-Pro. This time the funny Ferrell was completely off the leash. Out of the self-imposed self-serious prison, he was like a two-strike offender on a bender. He was “Will Ferrell, comedy whore,” and while that guy was a riot, there was something studied in that turn as well, as if he had to give us exactly what we expected and then some.
I wouldn’t have been surprised if, in this highly manufactured manic state, he had come up to each and every member of the press on hand, gotten up in our faces and started telling jokes in rat-a-tat-tat fashion with little bits of spittle spraying us, while we did our best to act like it wasn’t freaking us out.
All of which generated a curious level of anxiety in me as I prepared for my most recent encounter with Ferrell in support of The Other Guys, in which he and creative partner Adam McKay (Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers) set their sights on a pair of cops (Ferrell and the decidedly unfunny Mark Wahlberg, who is quite funny when surrounded by his hilarious co-stars in a safe, nearly impregnable comedy cocoon), known as “the Other Guys,” who are quite obviously not the heroic types.
Which Will Ferrell would await me?
Well, it is safe to say that another Will Ferrell entered the room for the press conference with co-stars Wahlberg, the irrepressible Michael Keaton, the junior comedic diva Eva Mendes and McKay in tow. This other guy was quite funny, but much more relaxed. He wasn’t out to impress us with refined actorly tics or zany mania, yet those aspects were present both in the film and in person. There is no doubt that Ferrell is a comedic actor intent on breathing life into whatever character he’s playing.
In The Other Guys, while Gamble is “the” supportive player on the force, a desk jockey watching and admiring the exploits of heedlessly destructive super-cops Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) and Danson (Dwayne Johnson), he is certainly the leading man in his life story and that of his wife (Mendes) who works as a successful doctor during the day and as Gamble’s ever-supportive helpmate at home. It was clear from the outset of the press conference that Ferrell was just as much of a team player as Gamble.
Wahlberg deadpanned his way through comments about how surprised he was to have been approached by Ferrell and McKay to be involved in this project. Mendes brandished her divaliciousness like an old-school pie in the face to such an extent that I’m sure Lucille Ball would have been quite proud of her, while Keaton and McKay flung quips and anecdotes of the on-set hijinks that transformed the event into a DVD outtake.
But Ferrell, well, he seemed content to wait his turn and let the moment come to him. McKay at one point praised the cast, saying that ,“You go through everyone in this movie — Mark and Eva, Michael, Dwayne and Sam — they all had the great instincts of knowing to play comedy real.”
He didn’t include Ferrell in that comment, but the other guy up on that panel has proven himself to be as real (and really funny) as they come.

but the teabaggers don’t want to pay for anything….what is the problem???
Ironic that the Chieftain’s complaint was published on the same day that there were concerns about Pueblo’s water because of a massive wastewater system failure downtown.
I am so tired of listening to Pueblo whine and cry about this. It is our water and we are taking it. They are just worried that the level of the resevoir will go down and they will lose the only thing it has going for it and that is lake Pueblo.
Bruce, I found it a little funny that Pueblo had their spill the same day as well.
Get real, daytripper.

Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo of New York announced a lawsuit Friday to challenge the federal regulations that govern recreational fishing in the state’s waters for summer flounder, also known as fluke.
The lawsuit, which follows a similar suit last year, is lodged against the United States Department of Commerce and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, entities that set limits on permissible size, daily catch and fishing season length.
“New York’s fishing industry is drowning under the weight of arbitrary and ineffective fluke regulations,” Mr. Cuomo said in a statement.
The fluke (Latin name Paralichthys dentatus) is a species of sharp-toothed flatfish that can reach 30 inches in length, and can weigh in excess of 20 pounds.
Adult specimens have both eyes on the left side, or top, of the body.
The fluke fishery stretches along the Atlantic seaboard, and the fish is most abundant between North Carolina and Massachusetts.
In state waters, which extend three miles from shore, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission determines fishing rights. Federal waters, 3 to 200 miles off-shore, are governed by the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is part of the Commerce Department
The suit filed by Mr. Cuomo’s office says the limits for the 2009 recreational fishing season adopted by the fisheries service, and approved last month by the fisheries commission, discriminate against New York anglers.
According to documents provided by Mr. Cuomo’s office, a fisher on the New York side of Raritan Bay can land a maximum of two fluke per day over a 78-day season, and each must reach 21 inches in length.
By contrast, an angler on the New Jersey side of the bay can land up to six fluke per day, over a longer 101-day season, and the length requirement is only 18 inches.
The suit also says that the survey data from 1998, which the 2009 regulations are based on, are out of date and inaccurate.
“By relying on indisputably obsolete science, the federal government and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission are subjecting New York to limits that not only discriminate against New York anglers, but fail to protect the fishery,” Mr. Cuomo said.
Ray Bogan, a lawyer who has represented boatmen in New York and New Jersey, said the recreational fishing industry in New York has been suffering.
“They have been so badly hurt by a flawed fisheries management system, that how can they do anything other than try to lash out?” he said.
Sean Donahue, a lawyer representing the fisheries commission, would not comment directly on the suit. However, he said the commission “is committed to conserving and rebuilding the summer flounder stock so that it can be enjoyed by fishermen everywhere.”
Steve Murawski, the chief scientist for the National Marine Fisheries Service, would also not comment directly on the suit, but said regulations had allowed the summer flounder population to increase.
“Ten years ago the stock was depleted,” he said. “We started a program to cut back the catches so the stock could rebuild.”
“New York does not have a unique population of fluke,” Dr. Murawski added. “It’s the same one in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.”
(In case you were wondering: The Oxford English Dictionary says the use of “fluke” as a term for flatfish or flounder dates back to the eighth century. The word’s other, now more common, meaning is much younger, though. The first use of “fluke” to mean a lucky stroke achieved by accident or chance dates from 1857. The context then was billiards.)
4 Comments
The answer is to make the 21″ 2 fish limit the standard for all fluke inside the 12 mile limit. If it had been done 30 years ago the problem wouldn’t exist.— wgara
Mr. Cuomo, Now that you are done fishing how about coming out of the fourth inning of your pension scandal results. The citizens of New York have to be informed as to who is corrupt and this Mayoral Election depends on it. Your not even close to the seventh inning stretch yet. Let’s see the results.— Kevin Coenen
This problem does not exist, Fluke are in abundance throughout the Mid-Atlantic coast. The biomass numbers they are looking for are not grounded in reality.
If,
“New York does not have a unique population of fluke,” Dr. Murawski added. “It’s the same one in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.”,
then why are there different size and bag limits for different states?
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and it’s regulations based on junk science does not protect the inshore species, and hurts the recreational fishing industry.
Go Mr. Attorney General!— Paul
Limiting catches to the largest, most successful and most likely to reproduce fish seems absurd; if limits are necessary, let keepers be from the more abundant mid-sized fluke which are not yet full size or fully mature.— Avi | http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/24/cuomo-challenges-us-rules-on-fluke-fishing/ | 2013-05-18T10:54:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

The Work of Art History in the Digital Age
June 27-28, 2008
Discussion: The Story So Far
Moderators: Marilyn Aronberg Lavin, Anna Bentkowska-Kafel and Laurie Glover.
What is the evidence that art history as a practice or set of practices is being changed by the impact of the digital age?
- What kinds of material and objects of study in our field are newly available and newly accessible in the digital age? How have individual projects or whole fields been made possible or significantly enhanced by availability/accessibility or possibilities opened up by digital technology?
- What questions and hypotheses could not be adequately researched using traditional analog information sources and required a newly conceived digital archive; was the original intent of creating a digital resource realized and have these new digital resources produced the expected results?
- How widespread is, or might be, the adoption of these new models of finding, organzing, and displaying material related to our field? Are they primarily about teaching or research? Or both? How are they used?
Discussion: Brave New World or Same-Old with Geekery?
Moderators: Maggie Bickford, Benjamin Binstock, Gunther Reisinge and Hans van Miegroet
This session focused on how new technologies and resources impacted the way the discipline defines itself, on methods and scope, etc. The following questions were addressed:
- What new methodologies, philosophies, and intellectual strategies do new digital resources entail for the field of art history and visual studies particularly? : Learning from Other Disciplines
Moderators: Connie Moon Sehat and Chuck Henry
What can we learn from other humanities and scientific disciplines that might help us? How have history, archaeology, and other disciplines embraced digital technologies and possibilities? What are the collaborative possibilities open to us across disciplines?
Discussion: Outputs and Outcomes
Moderator: Susan Roeper
This discussion considered the ways research created through, and with, digital technologies can reach its audiences.
- Is digital research likely to end up in analog form?
- Is digital output useful? Is it taken seriously?
- What is the advantage to web-publishing, specifically in our discipline?
- How can we keep track of it? How have libraries responded to the need to access digital resources?
- What are the dangers of aggregation and increasing consolidation of electronic resources?
Discussion: The Future: Collaborations, Technologies, Methods
- Should we train students for the digital future? If so, how?
- What are the most exciting uses of technology for collaboration?
- Which networks or organizations are leading the field in this area? How do we expand them?
- What practices might die or fade in the light of new technologies and ways of working? Should we mourn their passing? | http://clarkart.edu/research/content.cfm?ID=441 | 2013-05-18T10:40:38 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
What a difference a year makes.
At this time last December, the Browns had just lost to the Chargers 30-23 – in what was considered as one of the team’s better performances of the season. After playing six games in which the offense failed to score a touchdown – including three in which the passing game didn’t generate more than 100 yards – putting up 23 against a playoff contender was nothing short of a small miracle.
Or, perhaps the game could have been better characterized as the small steps of progress that Eric Mangini often refers to when evaluating his still rebuilding team.
It’s worth remembering this perspective from a year ago – especially when we consider that the Browns have now won two games in a row – both of which could be considered “ugly” wins.
While the sensational wins over New Orleans and New England will no doubt prove to be the highlights of the Browns’ 2010 season, perhaps we shouldn’t ignore what has transpired over the last two weeks.
After all, if you follow Eric Mangini’s mantra of baby steps, these Browns are right on track.
.”
Although it’s been ugly at times, these 2010 Browns are light years removed from last year’s offering.
Deep in the cold wilderness of 2009, the prospect of “winning consistently” could not have even been considered. However, now Mangini’s words may have a bit of substance to them.
Or, for another comparison, just chew on the following numbers….
2009
245 Points Scored, 375 Points Given Up, Differential of –130 (over 16 Games)
2010
229 Points Scored, 239 Points Given Up, Differential of –10 (through 12 Games)
-12 Takeaways
+7 Takeaways
1850 Yards Rushing Allowed, 14 Rushing TDs Allowed (through 12 Games)
1429 Yards Rushing Allowed, 4 Rushing TDs Allowed (through 12 Games)
40 Total Sacks, 10 Interceptions, 73 Passes Defensed (over 16 Games)
24 Total Sacks, 18 Interceptions, 70 Passes Defensed (through 12 Games)
10 Rushing TDs, 11 Passing TDs (over 16 Games)
13 Rushing TDs, 9 Passing TDs (through 12 Games)
Leading Receiver – Jerome Harrison and Mohammed Massaquoi – 34 Catches
4th Leading Receiver – Chanci Stuckey – 27 Catches
1-11 Record (through 12 Games)
5-7 Record (through 12 Games)
Don’t look now, but we may be onto something here.
While it’s obvious that these Browns are still far from a finished product, the numbers don’t lie. This 2010 version of the Browns is a dramatically improved improved unit – one that features a growing core of solid, young talent. While there are still numerous holes to be filled, at least we can see that progress has manifested itself beyond mere words.

Our goal is richer and more accurate representations of utterances in English, Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, and Arabic. Our principle approach involves the application of supervised machine learning to data with linguistic annotation. There are several different layers of annotation, and correspondingly several individual NLP components, many of which are trained on a single layer. We begin by describing several different end-to-end systems we are building which incorporate these components, then describe the individual components. Next we describe the lexical resources which inform the linguistic annotation, and then the individual layers of annotation and the different domains and genres they have been applied to. Finally we describe CLEARTK - the CLEAR NLP Toolkit - that is being use by some of the end-to-end systems.

Homeless Emergency Project
(727) 442-9041
The Homeless Emergency Project is one of the oldest and largest support programs for homeless and low-income residents in Pinellas County. HEP provides housing, food, clothing and other assistance.The group started in 1986. The HEP facilities now span five blocks in Clearwater's North Greenwood Neighborhood. HEP and its community partners provide case management, mental and medical health care, substance abuse treatment, dental care, education, transportation, food, job skills training, access to public benefits, legal aid and employment assistance. The group has spent $9 million in projects in the neighborhood including building an eight-unit family shelter, a 40-bed group home for veterans, a 16-unit apartment complex for people with disabilities, a 16-unit apartment complex for families with disabilities and redeveloped 18 single-family homes. The group converted garages into a 110-bed emergency shelter. Its facilities provide for 310 beds. The facilities also include a large commercial kitchen and cafeteria, a licensed child care center, a dental clinic, community center, retail and job training center and a bicycle repair shop.

Largo City Commission:
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been out of town for a professional conference and have only today seen the article in the October 6th "Neighborhood Times" section of the St. Petersburg Times. My wife and I live in the white house that is pictured in the center of the Times photo. I am writing to express my deepest concern about the situation described in this article.
Lake Margaret is absolutely the reason we purchased our house and chose to live in Largo when we moved here from Orlando four years ago. We have been able to weather the trauma of losing equity in our house with the plummeting real estate values because we tell ourselves we would never want to live anywhere else-and Lake Margaret is a major part of that sentiment. When I sense that the City is planning to engage in activity that will potentially harm that resource that brings such value to our property and our lives it makes me worried-and not a little angry.
If the article in the Times is correctly quoting the City engineer, my uneasy feelings are compounded. Common sense would indicate that diverting runoff water from streets and drains into a body of water such as Lake Margaret has the potential of adversely impacting that body of water. If the City is interested in "protecting the water quality in the city", has there been an environmental impact study that has specifically addressed this issue? If so, I would be interested in seeing that study. If so, I wonder why the Times article is referencing what the City engineer "believes" instead of citing hard data. Did the City engineer really refer to Lake Margaret as a "pond"? Does he think this area is a retention pond? Does the City engineer know the difference between a retention pond and a spring-fed body of water? The information contained in this newspaper article does not give me much cause for trusting either the intentions or the competence of the City's handling of this situation.
The article says that homeowners pay $10 per month for the professional maintenance and upkeep of the lake. Actually our current rate is $75 every six months. But the point is that the City of Largo, to my knowledge, does nothing to assist in the maintenance of this resource. That makes the quote attributed to the engineer about being interested in "protecting the water quality in the city" sound ever more vacuous. In addition to seeing an impact study that shows that this project will not adversely affect Lake Margaret, I would like to see in writing what the City plans to do to rectify the situation if there is a problem created in our lake as a result of this proposed work.
Thank you.

President Barack Obama won the national vote and he won in Ohio. The election was close in the swing state, but Republican challenger Mitt Romney had no chance in the heavily Democratic Cleveland Heights.
Obama won in all 37 precincts in Cleveland Heights. And in precinct 5-H, which has 876 registered voters, Romney received 14 votes, while Obama picked up 575. The margin between the candidates was hundreds of votes, except in one precinct — 4-B, where 97 votes separated the Democrat and Republican.
In Cleveland Heights, 21,069 of the 36,433 registered voters selected Obama, while 3,791 people voted for Romney. There were 25,272 votes cast. Eighty-three percent of votes cast were for Obama, while 15 percent were for Romney.
Voter turnout in Cleveland Heights was 69 percent, slightly higher than in Cuyahoga County at 66.5 percent.

Has it occurred to anyone that the Democratic city council and school board have literally run this city into the ground, and is just a few years away from becoming East Cleveland south? Go ahead and attack, but the facts speak for themselves. Cleveland Heights is pretty much a ghetto anything north of Mayfield Road and the schools and their troubles are beyond the point of no return. Let the Obama love fest continue!

I own a home in the Forest Hills area, ya know NORTH of Mayfield. Perhaps you should drive around that area and educate yourself. It's not a ghetto. It has some of the finest homes (architecturally and upkeep) in the city. Have you been north of Severance along Yellowstone and Cleveland Heights Blvd? Again, not a ghetto. Any problems this city does have pre-dates Obama, considering the few pockets of CH that are a little 'rough' have been that was for about a decade now.

Not sure what you are talking about micheal. Lee and Coventry areas are better than ever, attracting a better brand of business, and there are awesome residential areas in CH. There is no doubt that some pockets could do with a boost, but your comments are clearly filled with Obama/Democrat hate. This story is about voter turnout and party leaning; your negative comments have nothing to do with this story, you simply want to rant, probably sore from your loss on Tuesday. The GOP needs to move away from the far right, and it's party members need to stop making idiotic comments if they expect the votes of mainstream America. I hope the GOP can also find a candidate that is more authentic next time around.

Voter turnout was amazing!!
That 36,000 figure for registered voters shows a big problem in Cuyahoga County. There's barely 36,000 18 year olds in CH. The rolls of registered voters need to be *thoughtfully* reviewed to remove non-existent voters, as per Ohio law.
I've looked at the data in the last year. There's at least 5,000 folks that haven't voted in a presidential year in a long time. Remove them from the calculation, and voter turnout may be in the mid 80% or higher!

@michaelschwartz I grew up in Cleveland Heights in ForestHills, and moved to Texas 20 yrs ago. Things were getting rowdy back then. Why does every problem in America have to be President Obama's fault? I can't imagine that in the four years he's been president that he had time to create a ghetto in Cleveland Heights, too!!

Memo to RZA: The city of Cleveland has a few nice streets to but that doesn't negate that it is a disaster. I wish you happiness in your little 2 street island that you cannot leave at night for fear of getting mugged or worse. As long as were on the topic of telling it like it is, the whole quadrant bounded by Lee, Meadowbrook, Taylor and Mayfield has been been pretty much written off as well as foreclosures have pretty much put the nail in the coffin in this area forever and you see $5,000 house transfers which is more than their worth as the whole area should be bulldozed. But hey look at the bright side, Obama will save the city and you right?

Only someone with the Trifecta of ignorance, intolerance & sheer viciousness could come up with the sneering smears of michael schwartz. Since your descriptions of these areas contradict reality, you couldn't possibly live here. Moreover, real estate values say very little about quality of life which is measured by things such as sense of community, respect for the environment, neighborliness, diversity of age, lifestyle, race, ethnicity & the way in which such diversity is not just tolerated but celebrated. But what would you know of these?

Gee Harriet, the truth seems to have struck a raw nerve? I guess your right, those areas I mention above really are not section 8 hovels, with high crime, bad schools, unsafe shopping areas, etc. Perhaps I'd better get with your program and move my family over to Noble Road ( I could probably buy one of the thousands in foreclosure for $5,000) and just think the dollars I could save by sending my kid to Oxford (currently in academic emergency I believe). Harriet, your far reaching thinking possibly could save me thousands of dollars!

Go back to Mayfield Hts Michael!! We don't want/need your spin on what you know nothing about. Look up the definition of ghetto-does this apply the the Heights? Don't think so. I'm college educated and chose to live here. How about Monticello Middle-what was their ranking?? Schools are as good as the teachers and Principle. Monticello is an example of that. Go up to the school-talk to the teachers-talk to the Principle-it's as good as any other middle school on the East side. On your way back out of town, make sure to to say hello to the police officer that just stopped you for speeding. We thank you for your donation!! And Romney still lost-get over it!!

My BS meter just pegged. I lived in Cleveland Heights for about a year, and the diversity, from the starter houses in the north to the million-dollar mansions in the south, is AMAZING. Ghetto? Yeah, I suppose you could say that - on the other hand, you'd be full of crap. CH is a little bit of everything.

The wonderful Milky Way (1890)
The wonderful phenomenon known as the Milky Way, which is a marked feature in the sky at this season
What scientists have thought of it
The Galaxy, or Milky Way, is familiar to all readers, and although visible all the year ’round is perceived more plainly in August, September and October, or at the beginning and ending of that period. This zone of stars was well known to the ancients, but Galileo was the first to decide that it is formed of stars. To Sir John Herschel, much of the information we have concerning the Milky Way is due.
In this wonderful zone of stars, the center of our system, the sun, is placed. It was supposed to be divided as in the diagram here given [below left], the inner portion being the stars seen in their thickness, and the outer ring representing the stars viewed in the direction of the length and breadth. But afterward Herschel modified his opinions respecting the Milky Way, and Professor Nichol, among more recent astronomers, says:
“It is only to the most careless glance that the Milky Way appears a continuous zone. Let the naked eye rest thoughtfully on any part of it, and if circumstances are favorable, it will stand out rather as an accumulation of patches and streams of light in every conceivable variety of form and brightness.”
The Milky Way has its greatest breadth in the “Swan,” and in the “Eagle” constellation it divides itself. In the “Southern Triangle,” the zone is brightest, and in the “Southern Cross” the hole or space, termed by the sailors the “Coal Sack,” is very distinct. It then contracts and expands, and there is in Argo another gap. Then it is lost for a space, then it branches out, and soon crosses the Equator, dilates, contracts, opens out again and so returns to the “Swan” again.
Philosophers have discovered much upon this phenomenon, but all statements must remain more or lees speculative. Mr R Proctor has likened the Galaxy to a coiled serpent, and considers the openings in the Milky Way as evidence that the stratum of stars is limited, and that here we can see beyond it. In fact, it would appear that it is a very complicated question; and as the zone itself is “complicated with outlying branches beyond the range of our most powerful telescopes,” so an actual knowledge of the Milky Way is beyond us at present. It is composed of most extraordinary aggregations of stars, which appear not only impossible to count, but each one to be independent of the other.

Bring the discussion of a couple of days ago further forward, here is a very interesting graphic from Ravelo and Ward [2004] showing the transition from Pliocene to the Pleistocene (read R to L), which gives a somewhat different perspective on the Pleistocene than just looking at the Vostok core back to 800K (although that’s interesting as well).
Figure 1. Ravelo and Ward Figure 1 with original caption.
In the Pliocene warm period, trees grew in high polar latitudes (e.g. Banks Island, Canadian Arctic Archipelago and the north coast of Greenland – both of which I posted on previously.) Again, it’s important to note that these fossils did not get to polar latitudes by continental drift, but were found there.
Ravelo and Ward show that tropical oceans were also warmer than in the Pleistocene. It’s interesting that the variations in the Pliocene on a millennial/10-millennial scale were much smaller than in the Pleistocene.
It’s also interesting to note that the depth of the most recent ice age (ending ~17/12,000 years ago depending on location) is the deepest in this record, which, in turn, would probably make it the deepest in the entire 50 million year Tertiary period. I’m not aware of any very convincing explanations for this. In passing, some present-day changes have plausibly been attributed to ongoing rebound from the most recent Ice Age – for example, distribution of trees in western U.S.A. are not in equilibrium and are still evolving from Ice Age distributions. I’ll discuss this some time.
Mostly, it seems to me that, when you step back and look at climate history from a geological perspective, the existence of change on all scales is really quite remarkable.
What caused the transition from a Pliocene climate to a Pleistocene climate? It seems plausible that tectonic changes have something to do with it, but there doesn’t seem to be any complete consensus about which changes or how. I’ve mentioned before that the closing of the Panama Isthmus in the Pliocene seems to be related to the transition, but I’ve seen arguments that it doesn’t yield the supposed impact. I’m not convinced that the arguments are right, but the question isn’t settled. Likewise, the Himalayas rose materially during the period, which changed its properties as a barrier to the monsoon. Perhaps there were other changes. The Samoan Passage is located on an important "hot spot" and its properties would change over this period. There are surprisingly few deep channels between the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific – perhaps changes here made a difference. The Australian Plate moved northward – closing of passages in the New Guinea area were discussed by Cane et al in various articles. Which tectonic changes "matter"? I suspect that they all make some sort of difference, but there certainly doesn’t seem to be any consensus on the details of exactly how they all inter-relate; my guess is that most specialists will emphasize the importance of "their" tectonic element, but that’s just a guess.
I’m not trying to make any magisterial pronouncements here; I’m just trying to draw attention to an interesting long record of climate change.

Commenting on:
“It’s interesting that the variations in the Pliocene on a millennial/10-millennial scale were much smaller than in the Pleistocene”
It’s also interesting that nowadays the annual variations in the temperatures are much smaller in the tropics than in the north. On the other hand the recent increasing temperature trend (if really existing) is lower in the north than in the tropics, because summer temperature trend seems to be somehow buffered in the north. In Finland the summer temperature trend seems to correlate with northern hemispheric tree rings. In that way the tree rings seem to respond correctly to the measured temperatures in the north. They haven’t grown more because temperatures haven’t increased.

The most recent benthic stack that is supposed to represent climate is of Lisiecki and Raymo
The graph is actually giving the variation in oxygen isotopes (d18O) of certain ocean floor dwelling (benthic)foraminifera, that are analysed from ocean sediment cores. some go back to much older strata. So if an ice sheet is building up it is made of light water with more 16O, because of the fractination during the evaporation. More 16O water evaporates so more 18O water stays behind. Now if the evaporated water does not return because it is used for ice sheet building then the amount of remaining 18O water in the oceans increases. So more 18O in the forams means: either the local water is colder or there is more 18O in the water, which means that there are polar ice sheets which means that it is cold.
However, there is a lot of “if-it-rains-the-streets-are-wet. The-streets-are-wet-so-it-rains” reasoning here. Foram d18O is also dependent on salinity and acidity, so a current change or other conditions changing may also cause d18O changes in forams. Then, ice sheets may only be building if the poles are land on a hundred million years scale. And due to of course of lot of plate tectonic every now and then a continent swarfs over the poles. Then a ice sheet may build but does it mean that the global temperature changes? I think not (that’s also regarding that greenhouse – ice house hypothesis in the other blog.
back to the benthic stack. Note also the big change around 900,000 years ago when the predominant weak cycle frequency shifted from ~41,000 years to the strong ~100,000 signal. The former is thought to be related to the obliquity cycle of the Earth spin axis. For the latter all current explanations do not suffice. This is a beautiful detective plot, waiting to be solved.
Looking on this scale the decline in temperature from 4 My BP looks almost linear. This would suggest the cause is a gradual change, such as the rise of the Hymalaya, or declining atmospheric CO2, rather than a sudden change, such as the closing of the Panama isthmus.
Andre, see my comments: #24 & #25. I think all sorts of hints can be found in that Nature article. I’ll add to #25 to say that an
Antartic bay, I forget which now, might have been broken up every 41K years before 850k years ago. This could be caused by sea level increase from melting, perhaps in other locations, lifting the ice off the floor of the bay. The pole was close to the bay before 850k years ago, but it has since moved inland. Warning I probably don’t know what I’m talking about, I have no formal education in this. But do look at the article for the data content.
Re #4; John, on your #25 mentiones the eccentricity cycle as predominant for the 100Ky. I know, you can find multiple textbook explications about this but still I don’t think it isn’t. The original Croll-Milankovitch eccentricity cycle is composed of two main components, the stronger cycle 410Ky and the weaker 90Ky. So it’s a mystery how it changed in the books to 100Ky after the discovery of that benthic foram signal and of course echoed in the Antarctic ice cores, 420Ky in Vostok, (Petit et al 1999) and 740Ky in EPICA Dome-C (Jouzel et al 2004). Richard Muller had another elegant hypothesis about this behavior, a cosmic dust band around the sun that the Earth would enter every 100Ky due to an inclination cycle.
Now, dust indeed shows in the ice cores during the deepest pits in the cycles but closer investigation shows that it all Earth related, not cosmogenic. There is no other evidence like increased cosmogenic radioactivity so this hypothesis remains very tentative. Moreover if you really zoom into the abundant available details details of the last “termination” things are definitely not what they seem to be. There is still a lot to resolve.
Andre, some of the information on Milankovitich theory I was working with came from
It gives the cycle time for eccentricity changes as 92K to 100K years and changes in the tilt of the earth’s axis a cycle time of 41k years. de Gariedel-Thoron in the Nature article doesn’t mention Milankovitich but has in figure 2 of the article a couple of spectral analysis graphs of sea surface temperatures. One from 6 to 850kyrs, the other from 900 to 1,748kyrs ago. What they show is that the 100kyr cycle most prominent in the former and the 41kyr cycle in the latter. He has the 23kyr cycle also marked which is related to the precession of the equinoxes. The sliding of the Antartic continent over the pole saw the pole dive to the center of the Antartic land mass around 850kyrs ago. I wondered if that change might explain the switch from 41kyr to 100kyr glacial cycles 850kyrs ago. Back to the library! Thanks
Andre, Thank you for link to the Muler article.
Re #5; The inclination cycle would expose the earth more to the sun’s poles. The sun’s poles never get sunspots. Perhaps sunspots are new to the last 850Kyrs? You wouldn’t think the impact would be large enough. That the average irradiance could be so changed by 1.5 degree more or less of a solar pole view. A change in irradiance over solar latitude away from uniformity 850kys ago might do it if it was large enough.
I had confused axial tilt with precession in my earlier comments, so much of what I said belongs in the dust bin. Andre you are much too kind
.
Kenneth H. Schatten was almost a dozen years ahead of me on this. See Heliographic latitude dependence of the Sun’s irradiance, Journal of Geophysical Research, vol. 98, no. A11, p. 18,907-18,910
abstract:….9818907S&db_key=AST
Seems like being on the sun’s spin axis is a cool place to be. More so 850Kys ago?

The Carbon Brief, an advocacy site funded by the European Climate Foundation, as part of the ongoing whitewashing of IPCC’S deceptive press release on renewables, today purported to blame journalists for being tricked by the IPCC press release, stating:
Journalists were also under no obligation to adopt the framing of the IPCC’s press release. The media’s practices – including constraints on journalists’ time – must therefore be held partially responsible for presenting the misleading impressions identified above.
Elsewhere in their article, the Carbon Brief attempts a limited hangout, conceding a few small points. Although the IPCC handling of the Greenpeace scenario was presented at Climate Audit, in keeping with standard Team practice, they do not cite Climate Audit, referring, if necessary, vaguely to “critics”. Nor do they rebut the criticisms as expressed here. Nor did they even fully quote the critical part of the press release.
The Deceptive IPCC Press Release
For reference, the deceptive IPCC press release of May 9, 2011 announced:
Close to 80 percent of the world‘s energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies a new report shows.
This claim was widely disseminated internationally – BBC and the Guardian, for example, but there are dozens, if not hundreds, of citations.
The news here was the IPCC endorsement. Greenpeace itself had previously asserted (in equivalent words) that “close to 80 percent of the world‘s energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies”. Not to be outdone, WWF had even claimed 100%.
IPCC’s apparent endorsement of what had previously seemed like grandiose and probably fanciful projections by activist NGOs transformed the situation and was the news. Certainly, BBC (and many others) thought so, with the BBC, a typical example as follows:
Renewables can fuel society, say world climate advisers…
Renewable technologies could supply 80% of the world’s energy needs by mid-century, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The problems, as reported here, a few days ago, included the fact that the highlighted scenario originated from Greenpeace, a Greenpeace employee was one of the lead authors responsible for assessing the scenario. But perhaps most frustrating is that IPCC itself doesn’t appear to have done ANY due diligence on this or any other scenario.
Ottmar Edenhofer, a WG3 co-chair who was much in evidence at Abu Dhabi and who approved the press release, admitted IPCC’s failure to do any relevant due diligence to Oliver Morton of The Economist, with Morton noting a sort of wistful regret on Edenhofer’s part that he couldn’t require the Lead Authors of chapter 10 to carry out the analyses that the public actually wanted and expected. From Morton’s blog:. [my bold]
The Carbon Brief Whitewash Attempt
The Carbon Brief here refers to the offending press release, but resolutely refused to quote the lead paragraph of the press release in full (carrying only the first part.)
They open with a summary of criticisms, referring to Mark Lynas’ characterization (without naming him), but do name various MSM stories (without linking them). They observe:
Some of the criticisms that have been made of the IPCC do not stand up to scrutiny. However, some of the points that have been made are reasonable, and are worth discussing
CA readers are familiar with the all-too-common practice of climate academics (and activists) not to quote actual criticisms and instead re-frame them, sometimes subtly, sometimes not so.
My biggest complaint about the lead paragraph of the IPCC press release is that, not to put too fine a point on it, it is untrue and misleading. The IPCC report didn’t show that “close to 80 percent of the world‘s energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies”. Even if this claim were true (as Stephan Singer of WWF has argued in subsequent controversy), it isn’t shown within the four corners of the IPCC document, which, at most, catalogued the Greenpeace scenario and didn’t establish its feasibility with or without public policy.
Instead of squarely confronting the deceptive IPCC lead, the Carbon Brief framed the problem as follows:
The IPCC’s press release gave undue weight and prominence to one particularly optimistic scenario.
They pretty much concede the legitimacy of this framing. In doing so, they usefully point out the Dutch government’s report on WG2 , which had recommended that IPCC stop issuing one-sided summaries. Yet another recommendation flouted by IPCC.
Next they parse the following issue – again carefully re-framed/
The use of the word “could” in the IPCC’s press release was potentially ambiguous, and likely to mislead
Their analysis is the sort of Nick Stokes wordsmithing that we’ve all come to expect from the climate community to avoid conceding the obvious:
It is clear that the IPCC’s projections in its report are framed by a range of uncertainties, including those surrounding technological development and future costs of renewable energy. Given.
Watch the pea here. The.
The next claim that they considered was that:
The reduction in overall energy consumption assumed in the headline scenario is not noted in the press release – which may give a misleading impression.
This wasn’t an issue that I’d raised (it was raised by Mark Lynas and Oliver Morton) and I’m not going to consider it in this brief review.
Next, they consider:
The study on which the headline scenario is based – while originally formulated in a Greenpeace report – was published in a peer-reviewed journal
This is true, but doesn’t rebut any point that I made. I clearly noted that the Greenpeace scenario had been published as Teske et al 2010 in an academic journal (while noting that it drew heavily on a companion Greenpeace glossy.) I, for one, have consistently taken the position that peer review for academic literature can be cursory or puffball (unless of course it criticizes the Team in which case a gauntlet must be run). That the Greenpeace scenario was published in an academic journal is not a warranty that it is actually a feasible scenario.
They say:
The Greenpeace report’s lead author was not “the” lead author of the chapter in question, nor a lead author of the report as a whole.
Again, this is true , but doesn’t rebut any actual points made at Climate Audit, where I had listed all the lead authors of chapter 10. Yes, there were other Lead Authors of chapter 10, but that doesn’t eliminate the conflict of interest. Did Teske’s participation as a Lead Author influence the unfortunate decision in chapter 10 to feature the Greenpeace scenario? Did it contribute to the decision not to cross-examine the scenarios for feasibility – an oversight seemingly regretted even by WG3 Co-Chair Edenhofer? Personally I can’t help but think that Teske’s acting as Lead Author did contribute to the prominence of the Greenpeace scenario in chapter 10. I don’t know this, but I think it. This is one of the reasons for a Conflict of Interest policy in the preamble to the Conflict of Interest policy passed at the recent plenary – a policy that Pachauri says will not be enforced in AR5.
Defenders say that other Lead Authors, besides Teske, were responsible for “assessing” the Greenpeace scenario: “while the IPCC works from published cases, the scenarios are evaluated and assessed by a team”. But unfortunately, as more or less conceded even by Edenhofer, none of them actually “assessed” the feasibility of the Greenpeace scenario – that’s the problem – and, as a result, it remained unassessed.
Next, they argue:
There is no evidence that either Teske or Greenpeace had any influence over the Summary for Policymakers of the report, or the press release.
A couple of points here. WG3 say that Teske or Greenpeace wasn’t involved in the press release. Teske was in Abu Dhabi on May 9 and issued a press release for Greenpeace on May 9. Teske was definitely very up-to-date. None of us has access to IPCC documents and IPCC is not subject to FOI legislation. As a result, there is presently “no evidence” to contradict WG3′s assertions on this point. That doesn’t mean that their assertions are false – only that the only evidence on the matter is their assertions.
In commentary at Climate Audit, I did not make assertions on Teske’s role in the press release (though I was interested in getting information on it.)
At the end of the day, the lead of the press release was untrue and misleading. It’s interesting to know whether Teske was involved, but it hardly matters. The press release was approved by Ottmar Edenhofer and WG3. They’re the ones who should be questioned on their responsibility for the untrue statements.
They continue:
The press release contains a range of caveats – and when read in full, the meaning and context of its headline conclusions are made mostly unambiguous. The inclusion of energy consumption as a variable factor in scenarios is also noted.
Here we get into more Stokesian wordsmithing. Yes, it is correct that deep in the May 9 press release, other scenarios are reported, disclosing that the other scenarios are not as “optimistic” as the lead. The Carbon Brief observe that “the headline scenario is clearly identified as “[t]he upper end of the scenarios assessed”"
This is true enough. However, the later glosses do not undo the lead. The lead clearly states that the new IPCC study “shows” that this “optimistic” scenario can be reached given appropriate public policy. Yes, other scenarios are listed later in the press release, but this does not undo the untrue and misleading assertion in IPCC’s lead.
Then we get to the remarkable ending, where the Carbon Brief attempt to transfer blame for the many news stories reporting the IPCC lead on the reporters:.
Their one concession is to allocate a very small blame to IPCC:
Nevertheless, if the IPCC’s press team were aware that for whatever reason good journalistic practice is often not followed – as seems likely – they too should be held responsible for conveying potentially misleading impressions of the report.
Let’s be clear on one important point here. Edenhofer confirmed by email that he, other WG3 co-chairs and the IPCC TSU had all approved the press release. This wasn’t a free lance effort by Nick Nuttall and IPCC press officers.
In passing, the Carbon Brief says about themselves:
Carbon Brief’s Director, Tom Brookes, is director of the Energy Strategy Centre (ESC) the communications unit funded by the European Climate Foundation (ECF). Editor Christian Hunt has worked as a researcher and web editor for Greenpeace and the Public Interest Research Centre.

Blame journalists for being lazy? Surely anyone who’s ever had to write a press release knows that its basic to get the ‘story’ across in the first 15-50 words, just because journalists are lazy (or very busy, if you prefer). So if journalists are presenting this as an IPCC claim, then that’s just what the IPCC press release writer expected and wanted them to do. So for Carbon Brief, itself familiar with the world of PR, to imply that journalists have made a bit of a mistake here, is, perhaps, disingenuous.
The press clearly haven’t learned anything. In the UK, in the run-up to the Iraq debacle, the press headlined the “45 minute WMD readiness” claim in a government paper. The government knew the reporting was inaccurate but it was the journalists’s fault; it just happened to be convenient to let it go.
Steve:
Your description of the statements from The Carbon Brief reminds me of a joke told to me by someone who experienced the Stalinist USSR.
Apparently at that time Radio Kiev was noted for its propaganda. The joke: On one of their broadcasts the announcer says,”There is a story going round that State Factory X has given all its workers automobiles. This is true, but not quite. The objects involved were not automobiles, they were bicycles.
This is true, but not quite; the bicycles were not given, they were taken away.”
“Stokesian wordsmithing”
a phrase I will remember.
Or the simpler verb form — to Stokanize.
Yet again the innocent irony of all those NGOs with the words “Public Interest” somewhere in their titles.
Carbon Brief will have be careful , their friendly and compliant press buddies will not stay that way for long if their made the scape goat of IPCC malpractice to much and if they turn all hell breaks lose on the PR front.
Hope you don’t mind me popping a bit more background in about the Carbon Brief….
Mckitrick, Lindzen – the Carbon Brief Exxon Smear…
And I hope you don’t mind if I pop in with regard to Mr Woods’ “Exxon” note. In my American Thinker article, I detail two IPCC participants who have also been part of the long-term fossil fuel funding smear of skeptic scientists – please see: “There is a Cancer Growing on the IPCC and Al Gore”
Thanks, Steve.
This comes perilously close to the Animal House defence, doesn’t it?
Why do some of these organizations think its special to somehow claim the ‘possibility’ of 100% renewables on an ‘if’ scenario regarding bending global public policy to an infinite effort?
We ‘could’ colonize Mars by 20xx, ‘if’ only we had the right political will.
We ‘could’ make all air travel free for anyone who gets a seat ‘if’ only we had the right political will…
Given militarized controls on energy consumption and a reduction of the Global Population by 1/3 (lottery of course), we could cover the full range of (a newly defined) global energy demand with ONLY Solar power by 2050, “If” we only had the right political will (to agree to the restrictions and population reductions while mobilizing the worlds economic output wholly in Solar power deployment without any NIMBY due process, etc. etc.)
Lickity-Split … there’s a scenario that works too (because if the solar power output goes down, we force a reduction in demand…ergo, ‘supply’ meets ‘demand’ 100%)
Feasibility analysis? Why bother? It’s clear it’s just a matter of will.
.”
I have just posted this on the Economist website. I think it is relevant here too.
“Assuming that the report is merely a repetition of the Greenpeace report for America, which I have studied carefully, it will have the same major error.
Renewable energy is intermittent, unpredictable and is often available when it is not needed and not available when it is needed. In the case of solar power, in many cases it is needed in the evening/night in the middle of winter and it is most available in the middle of summer. Wind quite often blows for a few days and then there is a calm for a week. New Zealand relies largely on hydropower and the wind blows strongest in the springtime when the snow is melting and it is raining and blows least in the autumn when it is dry and the electricity demand is increasing rapidly.
There is no technology available–or even on the horizon–that will provide efficient and low cost energy storage for periods of days, weeks or months. Until such technology is discovered–and I doubt if it ever will be–renewable energy can only provide a small part of our energy needs. As long as it is small scale, storage can be substituted for by using inefficient and expensive open cycle gas turbines to start up every time the wind drops or the sun goes behind a cloud. Not very sensible and very expensive. (I’m a hydropower engineer and I am very aware of the advantages and limitations of pumped storage. Most pumped storage stations have 6 to 10 hours storage.)
How was that all of the “expert reviewers” did not pick up this simple fact? How is it that the economics does not allow for the extra capacity and cost of storage?
And in any case, pumped storage energy’s not free – just based on the differential between min/max tariffs.
So the editor of the website carbonbrief.org, Christian Hunt, is a former web editor for Greenpeace?
Amazing. Steve unearths yet another salient fact.
“None of us has access to IPCC documents and IPCC is not subject to FOI legislation.” OUCH! Of course this has come up here at CA before, but for some reason or other this time it hits me mighty hard. Yep, this is the state of things at this organization supposedly totally committed to “openness and transparency”. What’s so hilarious (I wish) is that this IPCC “openness and transparency” is straight out of Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-four” newspeak–you know, where the words mean exactly the opposite of their original/actual meanings. Will Mr. Pachauri please explain why the IPCC chooses/refuses to instigate an FOI policy for itself?
The IPCC’s press release gave undue weight and prominence to one particularly optimistic scenario.
Optimistic?!?! The only way to get to 77% renewable energy is to limit total energy to such a draconian level there will be a huge body count and “Them that died were the lucky ones.”
I see that the Carbon Brief claims that Ross McKitrick is linked to Exxon Mobil. See
where it states “Ross McKitrick is a senior fellow at the Exxon funded Fraser institute”.
Using this argument, then Michael Mann is also linked to Exxon since the oil giant has donated to Penn State:
Steve,
‘The.’
I think this is the crux of the whole issue and I’m not sure I understand your take on it. For me the second part of the sentence is the qualifier which makes it clear that technical potential is not the issue.
From my reading Chapter 10 of the report the whole point was to determine potential *uptake* of renewables given a range of energy policy scenarios, including ‘baseline’ control scenarios without specific policy initiatives, so ‘if backed by the right enabling public policies’ is an attempt to clarify that the ’80%’ figure is about policy rather than technical capability.
Logically, talking about technical capability doesn’t make much sense in this context. It would technically be possible to move to a 100% renewable power supply tomorrow – just shut down coal, gas and oil power plants and ban most forms of transportation. It would be economically and politically disastrous, but it would make 100% renewable power a technical reality.
Oh, please. Do you really believe the press release was distributed with that tortured interpretation in mind? You disprove yourself in making your own argument. If the release was speaking to “policy”-based possibilities, then why not use your %100 scenario? Why need a “study” at all?
According to American Wind Energy Association, there IS a 100% (or maybe more than 100%) scenario in the report:
“100 Percent Renewables: The Resources are There, Says UN Report.”
“Among the report’s points of emphasis: wind power alone is capable of supplying more than 100 percent of future demand.”
They should be careful blaming the journalists, who may be more careful in future. This would not suit the needs of the IPCC to have compliant journos.
Exactly. This shows they know they’re losing it. Fred Pearce is an example of a journalist who (as I remember it) got fed up of such criticism. Before that there was Nigel Calder. It’s a bad move.
AS if in response Leo Hickman goes irenic, as reported by Bishop Hill:
OT
“The press release contains a range of caveats…”
Pigs could fly if they had the right kind of wings.
In other words, nobody is willing to stand behind the validity of anything written in the press release. If nobody is willing to actually stand behind anything the press release says, then the press release and report itself is meaningless -its just a string of words that may or may not mean something.
Who’s paying these guys to publish stuff they admit may or may not mean anything???
The Carbon Brief doesn’t seem to be worth much of an effort. They received one comment on their article and that was from me, in opposition to their position.
Steve did you see a reference to you and this article in this weeks Economist? ( “A climate of conflict”)Ever so slightly I detect a shift by the Economist towards a more critical stance.

Golden age pass free. go 6.5 miles to the Willow Springs Picnic area. Pass the first parking area on the left and go approx, 200 yards to the outhouse on the right. Park here. This is near waypoint WILLOW on the trailhead page. We did not go to the end of pavement @ Willow Springs. Parked @ the first out house on the right where there are a few parking spots. 36.16020,115.49785
Hike across the road where there is a trail crossing the dry creek . Follow the trail up to the plateau and turn left heading toward the Lost Creek Canyon,approx 1/4 mile. Once you get to the canyon there is some climbing to get around the first waterfall. It takes a little route finding here, and there is a strap at one place to help one stay on route. When above the waterfall stay in main canyon.
When you get to the waterfall on the far right be sure to climb there. Stay in the drainage to where it gets obscure and a little brushy, head for the saddle. WP. 36.14786,115.50394. This is the beginning of the climb of the sandstone ramps.
Above the 2nd sandstone climb turn right and there are plenty of cairns marking the trail. There is some scrambling getting to the huge plateau with North Peak in view.
Looking north from the summit you see the large canyon on your left. This is the descent route we took.It is brushy with no trail to speak of. 36.14874 115.50522 is the beginning of the wide ledge on the descent. Around the first corner comes the very narrow ledge that we crossed. Continue on the ledges by passing the first canyon. Go to 36.15706 115.51014 This is the long canyon that will take you to the parking area.

I spent most of my time in this new high waisted bikini. As some of you may remember, I made this one piece a month ago. Loosely based on a vintage pattern, I was trying to recreate a glamorous (and pricey) Norma Kamali suit. After making my workable muslin, I thought I would tackle making a two piece.
I was nervous about this style - if the proportion isn't exactly right it can read more granny than glammy so I wanted it to hit exactly at the slimmest part of my waist. I think high waisted styles that don't stop at the right part of your waist make your torso look awkward and truncated. Once again, for anyone with a booty I think low cut legs are the only way to go. Let's keep that shit in check.
I used the same process as my one piece to make the bottom, only this time I mastered the ruching (critical to reinforce the seams with clear elastic). Initially I wanted a very structured bikini top but time was ticking the day before I left for my vacation so I modified the bikini top from this pattern I had hanging around in my stash. The pattern was designed for a non-stretch fabric so I elongated the straps to allow me to tie it in the back rather than fastening it with hardware like it originally called for.
I was having a really difficult time getting my machine to sew this fabric. I troubleshooted a number of things; after switching to a stretch needle and sweetly cajoling my old Singer it started to sew normally. However, it started acting fritzy when I was almost done and the finishing of the top is not my best work. It's crazy how temperamental sewing machines can be. Of course, I ran out of new needles for my serger so I kept skipping stitches on that machine as well. After oiling the machines with my bitter tears I managed to finish up just in time to throw it in my bag and get the hell out of dodge.
Since I got back, I realized i haven't really been taking advantage of the summer. I've spent more weekends than I care to admit chained to my machine on the most beautiful days of the year, so I'm taking a break from sewing for the next week or so to get in as much sun and fun as possible. Montreal winters can break your spirit if you don't bank enough vitamin D before November. I've got some big plans for the coming fall but it feels weird to be sewing capes and wool skirts when I'm still wearing flip flops so a little sewing sabbatical feels appropriate.
Hope you are squeezing in as much summer produce and bike rides as you can while the getting is good....
(Once again biggest props to my homeboy Mark Slutsky for humoring me with this cheesecake photoshoot....)
Awesome suit!! So amazingly flattering and downright fun. Looks like a perfect vacation. I'm soaking in as much sun as humanly possible this summer, and am in total denial that my condo's pool will be closing in less than a week. Sob. I'm with you on the sewing sabbatical--dying to make a cape or jacket or pants but just CANNOT bring myself to do it yet. Wool in August--ick. Be well and keep banking that vitamin D.
WOW! I love it. And you look gorgeous, as always, my love.
Your vacation sounds fantastically rejuvenating! Love the suit-- and that last shot of you is an especially beautiful one.
I just wolf-whistled at my computer screen. Gurl. GURL!! Stop. It. Right. Now. You look amazing and I'm totally in awe of your super sexy and super classy bikini. It sounds like you had an amazing time and a very well deserved break in your cabin in da' woodzzz. Color me jealous. Also I totally support the sewing break. Summer is too damn short (unless you want to come to the Gulf to hang... hint) so take advantage of whats left of it.
You look fantastic! I love that suit, and your vacay sounds like absolute perfection
You look fab. threadnoir.blogspot.com
Great swimsuit. It looks fantastic!
Eeep, love this! You look so chic my dear...seriously tempted to give swimsuit making a go at some point! I love the backdrop to your photos looks like a wonderful place to holiday! Also, glad to hear you'll be taking advantage of the last dregs of summer...I think it's all over here...today actually felt chilly :o(
Another amazing swimsuit! May I ask where you found your matte Italian tricot? (And please don't say that Montreal swim fabric wholesaler..)
what a gorgeous swimsuit! it is absolutely jaw dropping on you!
Aw shucks! Thanks Meg!
I'm sorry Sarah... it's the wholesaler. HOWEVER.... I am thinking about organizing a Montreal meet-up. It would be nice to meet some of the local sewing ladies so maybe Stretch-Tex will make the itinerary!
It's been chilly at night here too.... GULP.
Oh Sallie, you always make me blush. WHY IS TEXAS SO FAR? Not fair. Hope you're not getting hurricaned....
DOOOOUDE!! It is made of WIN!! I am so copying this for next summer! You are smokin' hot in that thing!
I'm with Meg - absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful. And the pictures convey how comfortable you are in it, so it's like a double whammy of venusian goodness. You look hawt, woman!
Venusian goodness! What a turn of phrase!
"It is made of WIN" is my new favourite everything.
Awesome! It's a bit of a hike from Toronto, but I'd love to be able to make it.
TEN OUT OF TEN! This is fabulous, that water looks fabulous, and your butt looks fabulous. There, I said it. I need me some ruching.
My ass thanks you. And ruching should be a basic human right.
Holy Hell I could live in this bikini and nothing else!!! You look uncontrollably hot!
Also, just wanted to let you know we've nominated you for some bloggers awards -
xxx
Holy crow, this is GLAM! I wish I had the guts to make a swimsuit! And your photos look great-- your photog friend is a champ!
You look absolutely stunning!! I love love love your bikini, very chic style and so feminine and flattering. Beautiful photos too :)
wow, this gorgeous suit totally captures that vintage styling, and the fit is PERFECT!
I would f"""ing love that suit too if I were you. What a great job. You're right in that high-waisted can look more granny than glammy if it doesn't hit at the right spot. But it does for you!
My machine sometimes acts up too and it's usually at the end. Don't you hate that!?

The the subsequent retreat from Reconstruction. These historians also praised the decisions of the Supreme Court that offered narrow interpretations of Congressional power under the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments.
Modern historians reject the works of early historians of Reconstruction as incomplete, unbalanced, and often racist. Beginning with W.E.B. Du Bois in the 1930s, revisionist historians have reexamined the Reconstruction Era and developed a narrative that praises the Republicans who sought to protect the rights of freed slaves and the freed slaves themselves, who fought for civil and political rights during Reconstruction and its aftermath. Unfortunately, the legal profession and the courts have been slow to embrace the revolution in Reconstruction historiography.
This Essay argues that a historical narrative of Reconstruction repudiated by historians continues to exert an outsized influence on Supreme Court jurisprudence, and that judicial unwillingness to overturn flawed Reconstruction-era precedents hinders the cause of equality before the law even today. It suggests that the overdue judicial repudiation of precedents resting, in part, on a faulty interpretation of Reconstruction’s history would have a salutary effect on the Supreme Court’s Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendment jurisprudence. | http://clr.guidecreative.com/the-supreme-court-and-the-history-of-reconstruction-and-vice-versa/?wpmp_switcher=mobile | 2013-05-18T10:41:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Under the category of “Things I will work on after tenure”, I’ve long wanted to more fully develop my ideas for an incarnational political theology. Previously, I published the following here, but I repost it now because I believe readers at CLR Forum may be particularly able to offer constructive comments. Whether in my reading of Radical Orthodoxy scholarship or my own writings on religious freedom in comparative perspective, I find myself returning repeatedly to the idea that sustainable pluralism will require a theological foundation.
_______________________________________________
William T. Cavanaugh is a scholar of Radical Orthodoxy – an intellectual movement that originated in 1990s Britain (especially Cambridge University and the University of Nottingham), and one that can broadly be characterized as postmodern Christian theology.[i] It proclaims its radicality in four parts: 1) a return to patristic and medieval roots, most particularly to the Augustinian formulation of knowledge as divine illumination; 2) efforts to deploy this recovered sensibility to offer bold criticisms of modern society, culture and philosophy; 3) simultaneous to the criticism of modernity, a realization that the inherited tradition itself must be rethought in light of the challenges of the postmodern era; and 4) a recognition that, just as Christian critics of the Enlightenment identified the destruction by secularity of those things it claimed most to celebrate (e.g. embodied life, self-expression, sexuality, aesthetic experience and human political community), “only transcendence, which ‘suspends’ these things in the sense of interrupting them, ‘suspends’ them also in the other sense of upholding their relative worth over-against the void”.[ii] Put briefly, Radical Orthodoxy refutes secularism in favor of a Platonic-Christian participatory theology “which alone can lead us to God”.[iii] Though it is not unproblematic, Radical Orthodoxy is nevertheless a significant intellectual endeavor that merits serious engagement by scholars writing within a variety of disciplines and theological/philosophical traditions.
In his stimulating essay, The City: Beyond Secular Parodies, Cavanaugh opens with a Biblical narrative – the themes of which have appeared in the work of Luther, Calvin and Niebuhr, among others. For example, he uses the New Testament writings of Paul and John, alongside patristic texts, to present Christianity’s story of creation, fall and redemption as “the loss and regaining of a primal unity”.[iv] This is central to his political theology, for, as Cavanaugh argues, modern social contract theorists such as Hobbes (but also Locke and Rousseau) were attempting, fundamentally, to redeem human society from the effects of brokenness (e.g. pride, violence, theft, war) through the mechanism of the state.[v] Cavanaugh deems these efforts a failure for three primary reasons.
He argues, first, that the mythos of the state is based on “a ‘theological’ anthropology which precludes any truly social process”: we relate to our fellows not as participatory creatures of the Imago Dei, but as bearers of individuals rights; thus, the formal mechanism of contract precludes full integration of the individual and the group by the state.[vi] Second, Cavanaugh suggests that the resulting corporate body is perverse at its core, leading, as “Hobbes foresaw…with his usual clarity”, to a commonwealth in which “the members cohere, not as in a natural body to one another, but only to the sovereign”.[vii] Hence, modern political soteriology obliterates local communities in favor of the universal state.
Third, perhaps most importantly, Cavanaugh observes that the state, which promised peace, has in fact brought about great violence and war.[viii] This has resulted not only from the establishment of territorial borders governed by single authorities and the corresponding assumption that relations between states operate in a State of Nature writ large, but also from the identification of the state with the monopoly on the legitimate use of force – war thus becomes, for the liberal state, “a simulacrum of the social process, the primary mechanism for achieving social integration in a society with no shared ends…the state’s religio, its habitual discipline for binding us one to another”.[ix]
In response to these failures of Hobbes and other modern political philosophers, Cavanaugh proposes a vision of politics informed by Eucharistic anarchism. The anarchy of which he writes is not chaos, but rather a challenge to the false order of the state – a true religio that binds us to each other and, ultimately, to the salvific Body of Christ.[x] Cavanaugh offers the Eucharist as a diffusion of “the false theology and the false anthropology of will and right”, a sweeping effacement of the distinction between mine and thine, a radical questioning of property and dominium, the proper integration of the individual and the group, and the actualization of diverse communities through shared participation in the divine life.[xi] “Whereas in the modern state the center either vindicates the rights of property against the marginalized or takes direct concern for the welfare of the marginalized out of our hands”, Cavanaugh writes, “in Christ the dichotomy of center and periphery is overcome”.[xii] By resolving the dilemma of the many and the one, by unmasking the falsity of this antithesis of local and universal, the Eucharistic community redefines boundaries, citizenship, and earthly practices of peace and reconciliation.[xiii]
Lest he sound utopian, Cavanaugh hastens to point out that Christians have “to an alarming degree” adopted the state mythos as their own, giving up their bodies for war in the hope that the state will deliver on its promises of temporal unity.[xiv] His primary argument is thus not that Eucharistic anarchism is fully realizable in the world in time, but that the salvation mythos of the state – the state religio – is a distortion of true hope, and that the resources for resisting this distortion are provided by the Christian tradition.[xv] Nevertheless, Cavanaugh concludes his essay provocatively:
For the most part, Christians have accepted the integrating role of the state on the assumption that the state is a ‘secular’ and therefore neutral apparatus for the working out of conflict among disparate interests. To see the state instead as an alternative soteriology is to begin to notice the inherent conflict between state practices and the practices, such as the Eucharist, which Christians take for granted. True peace depends not on the subsumption of this conflict, but on a recovered sense of its urgency.[xvi]
Robust pluralism in this reading requires an explicitly theological foundation, and, what is more, a lived one. It is almost as if Cavanaugh is calling believers to the very battle that Hobbes’s Leviathan was expressly designed to abolish.
[i]Cavanaugh is also the author of TORTURE AND EUCHARIST: THEOLOGY, POLITICS AND THE BODY OF CHRIST (Blackwell 1998). Please note that many who write under the RO banner claim that it is not a movement, but rather a sensibility – one oriented theologically and finding expression in such wide-ranging subjects as philosophy, linguistics, music, aesthetics and politics.

Kristine, very interesting. I’m not familiar with this scholarship. I’m not sure I see why you think Cavanaugh’s view would be a basis for political pluralism, though. Is it because religious communities – for example, Christian churches with a eucharistic, sacramental worldview — are uniquely powerful competitors to the state? That makes sense to me. One has to admit, however, that such communities historically have tried to overpower opposing centers of loyalty, themselves. In the long run, pluralism may require that religious communities have powerful competitors, too.
Hi, Kristine. I’ve got a question too, but it sort of comes at things from the other direction from Mark. I think it is a very good thing that the state has taken on exclusive control of some of the functions Cavanaugh lists above. For example, it’s very good that Christians (as well as everybody else) have accepted the state’s monopoly on the legitimate use of force — both from the point of view of criminal punishment and warfare. If that is a mythos, it’s one I have embraced and don’t really wish to challenge. Does Cavanaugh? I’m not sure what a Eucharistically anarchic view would change, and I’m not at all sure that I’d like what it would offer in place of what we’ve got now.
Thank you, Mark and Marc, for your interesting observations. You both raise excellent points, and I’ll try to address them by explaining my concern in different terms. I’ve always been interested in the ways religious beliefs and practices inform legal and political institutions. One major argument of my first book was that the case for religious freedom in the Muslim world will have to come, at least in the near future, from within Islam. But I noted in the conclusion that defending religious freedom in the West will ultimately require, to some degree, a recovery/renewal of the Judeo-Christian foundations of our culture. Why? As I think we are witnessing now in all sorts of challenges to religion and religious groups in the West (Jews, Christians, Muslims, and beyond), the state is increasingly hostile to the notion of distinct sacred and secular spheres. Whether in Augustine, Aquinas or the Reformation Protestantism of the early modern period, the defense of separate spheres emerged within theological frameworks. It seems to me that so long as culture remained diffusely tied to those traditions (in other words, and as Tocqueville observed, so long as the West generally and America specially remained generally united in its norms and mores), those two spheres could continue to exist (albeit uneasily at times). What I think we’re witnessing now is the transformation of the secular state from its original conceptualization to something less willing to recognize legitimacy or authority outside of itself (to tolerate, for example, that significant portions of the population – often organized religiously – do not support same-sex marriage or the ordination of women even as they affirm the dignity of all persons). Do I want a theocracy? Absolutely not! Do I think the state should preserve its monopoly on the legitimate use of force? Yes, although I want to reflect more on the meaning and manifestation of this. But apart from a theological defense of the secular state/City on Earth, I’m not persuaded the state will be willing to let civil society exist as such. So when I say that I’m wrestling with pluralism, I mean that once we recognize that there is no such thing as a theologically-neutral political theory or jurisprudence, the challenge is how to construct institutions that respect the diversity of religious and non-religious views while preserving human freedom and the common good AND not collapsing in on themselves/defaulting into soft despotism.
As a follow-up, one possible way forward relates to how I think about constitutional law. Now, I will say up front that I am stepping outside my areas of research, and I’m quite sure constitutional law scholars would be better equipped to address this with nuance and sophistication. But I’ll throw the idea out there anyway.
It seems to me that both the originalists and the living constitution folks have it wrong. As I understand them, the originalists don’t leave much space for the fact that the world changes in profound ways that can’t always be captured by plain text readings or the intentions of the Founders. The living constitutionalists, on the other hand, lose sight of constitutions as founding documents and at the very least risk a fancy form of mob rule. I think a better alternative, one that may fit with what Robbie George has argued, is that the U.S. Constitution embodies natural law principles. These are accessible to right reason without regard to theological claims, and they are philosophically defensible across traditions. Contra the living constitutionalists, the moral laws do not change over time. But contra the originalists, constitutional interpretation may need to evolve to preserve those moral laws in new contexts.
The U.S. Constitution embodies natural law principles because our Founding Fathers recognized the self-evident truth, from the beginning, that every human individual, from the moment of their creation, Has been endowed by God with certain unalienable Rights, The Right to Life being our very first Right upon which our Right to Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness depends. | http://clrforum.org/2012/10/11/from-state-soteriology-to-eucharistic-anarchism-cavanaughs-true-peace/ | 2013-05-18T10:42:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

A student of Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, Germany, Yusuf Algan evolved an assignment for an original type font into a typographic exploration of language. Each letter built by the alphabet of one distinct language, Algan’s typography puts a thousand minuscule spins on the classic latin alphabet structure it employs. His “World Font” includes commonly spoken languages, religious languages, and rarer dialects spoken by only several hundred thousand people. See Algan’s complete type font here.

Worldwide Community Film Screenings
2012 will be the Fourth Festival organized by Dr Ian McCormick. If you're interested in looking at the work of ICFF in the recent past, click here.
Are you able to help? How can you participate in free ICFF film screenings in your part of the world ?
1. Please send me an email or message if you are interested in screening a selection of the best films from ICFF 2012 in your home town or city during September-October 2012. (You will be able to set your own specific date)
2. You will need access to a free cinema space, or to a school, college, community centre, public building, or university space that is equipped with a suitable DVD player/laptop, projector, and a screen.
3. Ideally, you will want to organise your own events and speakers around the screening and - crucial detail - be self-financing as we do not have a top-down budget to dispense (at this stage - and I can't make any promises for the future).
4. ICFF will provide help and support with Press Releases, Publicity, Social Media, Building Local Partnerships and how to gain Sponsorship.
5. Some evidence of festival and/or organizational experience, or other relevant skills would be a major advantage.
6. New partners will be listed in the forthcoming 2012 Call for Films.
I look forward to hearing from you and to exploring partnership opportunities,
Dr Ian McCormick
ICFF Director.

LAST RUSH
OF VOTERS
Four Thousand Five Hundred
Make Ready for Primary.
TOTAL OF 2,595 WOMEN
SECURE CERTIFICATES
New Record Set During Three-Day
Supplemental Registration — Colored Women Registered Number 644—1,951 White
Women.
At the close of the three day's supplemental registration on account of the city primary election of June 10, it was
found that all records of a supplemental
had been smashed. The rush of voters,
both men and women, continued until the
limitation of the law closed the books.
The total registration reported to The
Times by the officials of the registration
was 4,318. The Tenth ward registrars
were too tired or something. They failed
to make a report again, as they did on
Tuesday night. From an outside authority it was learned that the total registration in that ward was 225, which runs
the aggregate in all wards and precincts
and of all races and sexes to 4,543.
It is impossible to separate the Tenth
ward registration into sexes or races, but
the remainder of the city was very obligingly turned in by the registrars in detail, notwithstanding they all had a
strenuous day, with the heaviest work
during the closing hours.
Excluding the Tenth ward, the figures
of the registration may be analyzed:
The final day's registration brought in
1.042 white women and 457 negro
women. White men registered numbered
589 and negro men 300. The final day's
registration is shown in the following table:
Last Day. (Lists White & Colored Males & Females by Wards).
Totals 589 1,042 300 457
In the total registration for the three
days it develops that 1,240 white women
qualified as legal voters under the new
suffrage law and 644 negro women. The
total female vote, therefore, that has
qualified by registration is 2.595.
Following table sets out the registration by precints in detail.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. -- A Chapleau, Ont., man who told police he groped a teenaged girl in a Tim Hortons parking lot because she “just kind of looked easy” was jailed Thursday
Nathan Jansen, 37, was sentenced to 60 days, less six days credit for pre-sentence custody, in a Sault Ste. Marie courtroom.
Jansen pleaded guilty in May to sexual interference — touching a person under the age of 16 for a sexual purpose.
The offence carries a minimum sentence of 14 days.
The attack, parts of which were caught on a surveillance camera, occurred July 9, 2011, at the Tim Hortons in Wawa, Ont.
The 15-year-old girl was on a family vacation with her parents when they stopped at the coffee shop for a break.
The victim was in the parking lot having a cigarette when Jansen approached her, asked for a smoke, then pulled at her shirt and “grabbed” at her ribs.
He “put his hand down the back of my pants and then tried to put it down further” before she managed to push him away, she told police in a video interview.
When police spoke to Jansen, he admitted he had “basically grabbed her butt.”
He said the girl was wearing short shorts and a belly shirt.
“Just the way she was dressed said something to me,” he said.
Crown attorney Kelly Weeks was seeking a nine-month sentence for the offence she described as a “every parent’s worst nightmare.”
The girl had been assaulted by a stranger in broad daylight, in a public place with her parents nearby and where she should have felt safe, Weeks said.
Defence counsel Ross Romano proposed a 60-to-90-day jail term at a hearing in August.
He unsuccessfully argued that his client should get credit for 110 days of pre-sentence custody for the time he spent under strict bail conditions and be sentenced to time served.
When he indicated what sentence he was imposing, Ontario Court Justice Andrew Buttazzoni rejected the Crown’s proposal.
“With all due respect to the Crown, a period of incarceration of nine months is not supported by the case law I reviewed,” he said.
The judge said 60 days, followed by the lengthiest period of probation -- three years -- was appropriate.
During his probation, Jansen can’t be alone with a female under the age of 16 unless an immediate family member.
Jansen must register as a sex offender for 10 years.
As well, he is prohibited from attending public parks or swimming areas frequented by persons under the age of 16, or a daycare centre, school ground, playground or community centre for 10 years. | http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2012/11/08/20342511.html | 2013-05-18T11:02:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Carnegie Heroes Fund Honors 19 With Medals, Money
Pittsburgh (AP) - A Utah man who wrestled a gun away from an escaped inmate at a fast food restaurant and three people who drowned in rescue attempts are among 19 winners of the Carnegie medals for heroism.
Eric L. Fullerton of Salt Lake City rescued an Arby's worker who was being held at gunpoint in 2007. Curtis Allgier had snatched the gun from a corrections officer who had taken him to a medical appointment and fatally shot the guard, then burst into the restaurant and grabbed a counter employee.
Fullerton, then 59, jumped over the counter and wrestled the gun from Allgier, who cut Fullerton with a knife. The scuffle allowed the employee and others in the restaurant to escape. Allgier ran away but was captured by police.
Fullerton and the others are being honored Thursday by the Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Heroes Fund. Steel baron Andrew Carnegie was inspired to start the fund in 1904 after hearing rescue stories from a mine disaster that killed 181 people. More than $32.7 million has been awarded to 9,391 people.

Pakistan journalists' choice: Face death, or jail
In this Tuesday, April 17, 2012 photo, Pakistani journalists chant slogans during a demonstation. (AP Photo/Arshad Butt) messages they deliver warn of upcoming violence or assassinations, sometimes naming an intended victim, or claim responsibility for atrocities already committed. The calls come from Sunni militants notorious for violence against minority Shiites or members of secessionist groups that routinely blow up police stations and attack government facilities in the southwestern Pakistani province of Baluchistan..
. In the last six years 41 journalists have died violently in Pakistan, although 12 of those deaths are still under investigation to determine whether their deaths were linked to their jobs as journalists, according to the CPJ site.
Many of the multiple militant groups and armed factions in Pakistan — such as Lashkar-e-Janghvi, behind many slayings of Shiites — operate with impunity, with police too weak to take much direct action against them. So they are only emboldened to threaten journalists into being their mouthpieces.
"If I want to live in this city I have to write what they say," Butt said.
The statements can often be cruel and explicit, detailing those who have been killed, he said. Sunni militants' messages are laced with vitriolic attacks against the minority Shiite Muslims, use it verbatim or die.
Butt did exactly that, publishing the statement, "The Punjabis have captured our lands and we will kill the Frontier Corps and Police . . . We will continue our struggle until Baluchistan is liberated from Pakistan."
Aryan Khan, another journalist in the Baluchistan capital Quetta, said Lashkar-e-Janghvi militants even dictate the language newspapers and broadcasters should use in their normal news reports whenever they report on the death of a Shiite, whether in an attack or from natural causes.. The international Red Cross suspended its operations in May after one of its workers was killed in Quetta.
"For us Baluchistan has become a source of great concern," said Bob Dietz, Asia Program Coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists. "The situation in Baluchistan looks set to continue for a long time — the issues are deep seated and don't lend themselves to easy solutions. For media support groups, the region has emerged as a new front line."
Escalating violence is making vast parts of Baluchistan inaccessible,, provincial police chief Omar Ibne Khitab justified the charges, saying the anti-terror law was clear. He also said his force does not have the equipment to trace the threatening telephone calls to journalists and locate the culprits.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan issued a report last month criticizing the government for inaction on what?. "If they said one thing they were traitors to one side and if they did not they were traitors to the other side.
From within the HRCP's heavily guarded office, Shamsul Mulk said rights workers risked their lives investigating the killings of journalists on .

Rome's Next MayorThis race came right down to the wire.-->
By: Stephen Bond
Updated: November 16, 2011
This race came right down to the wire. But challenger Joseph Fusco will be the next Mayor of Rome by just 81 votes. It was an uphill battle with curveballs along the way according to Rome's next mayor elect Joseph Fusco. But in the end he was proud of the campaign he ran. "My people and myself, we just kept on working, we stayed focused on the issues, we stayed away from the mudslinging. We kept a clean honest campaign focused on bettering our community, that's what my focus has been from day one." This may be Fusco's first time as mayor but he already has a strategy for his first hundred days in office. "The first hundred days in office you really have to get a control on the different departments, we've got to sit down and talk to the different department heads, we've got to look at the 2012 budget, we've got to take a real close look at that to see where we're going and to see what kind of surprises we might have in store." Mayor elect Fusco has a history in the private and public sector but now he says he feels he's in a position to really contribute to his community. "Well I'm very excited that I'm in a position now where I can make a difference and that's really what we've been focusing on. You know the price isn't winning the election, the prize is now that we've got the tools of the Mayor's position, now we can take those tools and we can do something great for our city." Mayor elect Fusco isn't wasting anytime in bettering Rome, he plans to attend a conference tomorrow in Syracuse at 6:30 AM concerning manufacturing. | http://cnyhomepage.com/fulltext-news?nxd_id=57697 | 2013-05-18T10:32:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

As Paul wrote, by the Holy Spirit, in Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: First for the Jews, then for the Gentiles. In everything God created, He is revealed in it.”Man is without excuse, God made it plain to the whole world in His creation. When you look upon what God has made, you can see God in it. The mark of God is on everything created by God. There is nothing made that God did not make. God’s mark is upon man; it’s even seen on you. God calls us to come to Him. It is mankind who refuses to give God the credit, honor and glory. Because of not respecting God as his creator, man gives God no respect as to who God is. In doing this, mankind becomes an enemy of God.When will people in our nation see how blessed we are, how God has kept us even, even when we, as a nation, turned our backs on God? Yet because of His great grace and mercy, God continues to reach out to us. God does not count our sins or our shortcomings against us. God always hopes that we will turn to Him.There will come a time when He will let go and allow us to have what we want. The truth is that what we really want is not good for us. What we really want takes us farther and farther from God, and God will give us up to our sinful desires. When we do not obey, respect and honor God, we put ourselves out of God’s protection.When I look at the masses of people without God, it breaks my heart. There is a strong spirit of Satan holding the masses captive. Some of us have gone so far away, we can’t bring ourselves to believe God. Jesus Christ has won the victory, but it seems like people cannot make that return to the one whom so loved them. Jesus gave His own life for all mankind. Although God is powerful, He won’t make you or I love Him. Yet, God desires and cares for all mankind, everywhere. The offer goes out to all people, everywhere, 24)

I would die and go to heaven to have this black subway tile in my kitchen, or bathroom..and that floor? gaaaaaa. Black and white is soooo put together and crisp..
This photo is too perfect, too. The random awesomeness of it all drives me to drink. I mean decorate..
The chalkboard wall..good in thought, but wait till you actually have a whole big gi-normous wall of it..then throw in the darling ankle biters to scribble and draw all.day.long on it..the chalk dust is EVERYWHERE..
believe me, I know. Its definately a love/hate..
Now if you are an adult with no children and an artful eye to just have fun and draw perfectly on it, well then you are set. This would be a dream for those types, but..in this house, chalk dust rules the day when the kids are into the creative spirit.. I love it, dont get me wrong..its just alot of upkeep.
The black house..tried this too, we painted over a white house that had old old scratch shingles, and no shade..it turned out so horribly we ended up selling the house....BA HAHAHAHAAAAA! We had direct sun ALL> DAY> LONG..so it really didnt ever get a chance to dry slowly, I guess..The black paint worked like crackle paint, it was
{to put it bluntly}
A FRIGGING MESS..
we quickly outgrew that sweet house..moved in with one child, and out with 3..We left the black crackle painted house behind..Now if you had new siding..I would totally go for it.. except if it was new cedar shingles that we are putting on this house..well....my hubby would divorce me before we would get to paint...
That leaves me with this little saying..not really, just thought it was perfect..
could you live in this room? hmm..food for thought.
[and I think not]
too dark, especially for the long winter days here in WA state..
I love to look at it though..
totally swank.
All these black and white photos come from me, here on this lil link..

Hi sweetie! Black always looks good in the photo, but totally agree with you, does not work for the Pacific Northwest. Spring is on the way....

Re: How to implement diagnostic messages?

In some applications it's useful to have, at least in the development
stages, a way to output diagnostic messages in order to help developers
check what's happening under the hood. Yet, although this can be useful and
in some times even invaluable, there isn't much information on what are
considered to be good practices regarding the implementation of diagnostic
messages.
With this in mind, what are your views on how to implement diagnostic
messages? Are simple outputs to stderr enough or are there better ways to
handle this?
the great problems with stderr:
the messages are not recorded anywhere (can't look over them in more detail later);
in graphical and/or GUI applications, stdout and stderr tend to go nowhere, so anything sent there is not visible.
in my own apps, I tended to just use printf a lot.
eventually, I made a macro which hooked printf to one of my own functions, and mostly ended up just redirecting its output to a log file and to an in-program console (in addition to stdout).
this way, for an app, one can typically see messages in-program, or if there is too much output, go and look over the recorded log-file.
later, I also added a "dbgprintf" function, which also accepts an integer parameter giving its "debug level" (IIRC, number+flags), but have not ended up widely using it.
the idea here would be that dbgprintf would also redirect to the console, and to the log file, but that the debug-level could be used to cull lower-priority messages.
IIRC, level 0 was equivalent to a printf, and 1..N (limit not set, maybe 7 or 15) indicate progressively lower-priority messages.
a message with a greater debug-level than the present debug-level will simply be discarded (neither shown in console, nor logged).
an unaddressed issue is "where" the messages are from, which often matters a lot more than some global "debug level" (one tends to care a lot more about messages from the components they are debugging, without having to necessarily see a mountain of messages for whatever else is going on, like other components loading/saving files, messages from the sound mixer, ...).
the current practice, for the most part, is a bit less organized, and mostly involves manually adding/commenting/uncommenting printf calls.
or such...

BEN NICHOLSON
Artist
This exhibition provides an overview of the fascinating work Nicholson produced during his life, showing how he assimilated and combined a variety of elements, including traditional English art, avant-garde movements from continental Europe and English naive art, to create his own original style of painting.
Although Nicholson focused on landscape and still life, his paintings were not intended to reproduce nature literally. He used delicate color and seductive line to create semi-abstract forms or purely geometric forms that express the hidden essence of the landscape or still-life subject. Nicholson went beyond the influence of his father, the well-known painter, William Nicholson, and developed an idiom that was influenced by Picasso and Braque's Cubism, Mondrian's Neo-Plasticism and his discovery of the naive but forceful painting of the fisherman, Alfred Wallis.
With his wife, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, and the others, he jointly formed Unit One to promote abstract art in England, and this association had an important effect on the direction of his painting. The reliefs that he made before and after the Second War were particularly significant in determining the character of his work, and they represent a peak in the development of abstract art, and achievement that must be considered in any discussion of twentieth-century painting. All of Nicholson's works, with their limpid color and captivating line, moving back and forth between semi-representational and abstract art, leave a strong impression on the viewer. This exhibition is a selection of major works from each period of his life, presenting the fluctuations and high points of his career from the beginning to the later years. Including approximately ninety works from collections in the United States, Europe, and Japan as sell as Nicholson's native Britain.
A bi-lingual (English/Japanese) catalogue, with an essay by Jeremy Lewison, was published to accompany the show. No ISBN.

Mizzou offers scholarships to four AAU teammates
May 5, 2012, 8:03 PM EDT
Generally speaking, college basketball teams have to develop chemistry over time, as kids from diverse backgrounds and geographical locations come together in a new place. This weekend, the Missouri Tigers took a step toward importing a core team intact as part of the 2014 recruiting class.
According to the Kansas City Star, Frank Haith and associate head coach Tim Fuller entertained four players from Team Thad, an AAU team sponsored by Philadelphia 76er Thaddeus Young. All four left campus with scholarship offers.
There’s little doubt that there’s a bit of recruiting gamesmanship going on here. Four-star prospects Leron Black (forward) and Anton Beard (point guard) are the real prizes, but Haith is clearly willing to find roles for their as-yet-unranked teammates if it gives him an edge in landing the top two.
From the Star’s story:
Four players from Memphis-based Team Thad – which is currently 24-0 and sponsored by current Philadelphia 76ers Thaddeus Young – visited Columbia on Saturday, including four-star forward Leron Black (who is rated by Rivals as the No. 20 overall player in his class) and four-star point guard Anton Beard.
Five-foot-nine point guard Chris Chiozza and 6-7 combo forward Marcanious Hymon also made the trip, and while they haven’t been assigned a star rating by Rivals yet, they – like Black and Beard – also left Columbia with scholarship offers.
“All of them got offered today by Missouri,” said Team Thad coach Norton Hurd, who drove the boys from Memphis to Columbia late Friday/early Saturday. “I was excited for them, just like they were. But right now, they expect the offers. They’ve put in the hard work. Everybody is calling for them left and right.”
Hurd said the 6-7 Black and 5-10 Beard have already received offers from schools like Georgetown, UConn, Georgia Tech, Arkansas, Memphis and Tennessee.
Those two arrived in Columbia with Hurd and their teammates at 3 a.m. Saturday morning, only to wake up at 10 a.m. so they could see the campus and athletic facilities. Sometime after that, Haith gathered them all together and gave them the good news.
“He said he ‘wanted Team Thad to come to Missouri, so all four of you have an offer,’” Hurd said.
To be clear, the other members of Team Thad are not charity cases. Chiozza has been offered by VCU, and his AAU coach believes he can be another Phil Pressey type for the Tigers.

Olin BuchananRivals.com College Football Senior Writer
As college football's highest individual honor, the Heisman Trophy is subject of much debate, controversy and scrutiny.
Perhaps that's never been more true than this season. There are more bona-fide candidates than usual, which has added to the debate and controversy ? and venom ? spewed in those debates.
This week's mailbag answers why votes were cast for Florida's Tim Tebow, why some other high-profile candidates didn't get votes and who might be contenders next season.
We'll also consider whether a competitive team in the ACC can break into the Top 25 after the bowls. Which one? Read on.
I was just curious as to why you didn't vote for UCF tailback Kevin Smith (for the Heisman Trophy). The guy leads the nation in both rushing yards and scoring, and is a game away from a record-breaking season. Sure, he may play in Conference USA, but he's put up great numbers against teams outside of his conference as well. Plus, he has just as many wins as Mr. Tim Tebow.
? Brent in Orlando
-----
Dennis Dixon because he probably was the front-runner before his injury. Dixon's importance to his team was obvious the way Oregon collapsed without him.
There were an abnormal amount of legitimate candidates at the end of this season, with Tebow, Arkansas' Darren McFadden, Missouri's Chase Daniel, Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree, Hawaii's Colt Brennan, Dixon and Smith. Almost all set some kind of record this season.
With so many candidates, I felt all factors had to be considered, including caliber of competition. Eight of the teams UCF faced (the Knights played Tulsa twice) ranked 90th or worse in rushing defense this season. The best rushing defense Smith faced was USF, which ranks 19th and limited him to 55 yards on 15 carries.
I know other running backs from non-BCS schools have done well in the NFL and in retrospect probably should have gotten more Heisman Trophy consideration or perhaps should have won it ? TCU's LaDainian Tomlinson and San Diego State's Marshall Faulk come to mind.
Time will tell if that's the case with Smith. But at this time, I still have to go with Tebow, McFadden and Dixon, and I feel comfortable with those choices.
MORE: Rivals.com 2007 Awards Watch | College Football Awards History
Why would you vote for Tim Tebow for the Heisman? I think he is very overrated. Everyone knows (Florida coach) Urban Meyer padded Tebow's numbers. If Meyer gave the ball to his running back or fullback, Tebow's numbers would be cut in half.
? Brandon in Georgia
-----
Did you consider that perhaps Meyer wanted Tebow to carry the ball because he was confident he would score?
I voted for Tebow because I think he's the most outstanding player in college football this year; it's that simple.
I can understand why someone would argue in favor of McFadden or Daniel or Brennan or Kevin Smith. What I do not understand is why someone would disparage Tebow's brilliant season.
Even if you take out his rushing stats (838 yards and 22 TDs), he still passed for 3,132 yards with 29 touchdowns and only six interceptions, completed 68.5 percent of his passes and averaged 14.4 yards per completion and 9.9 yards per attempt; his yards-per-attempt average leads the nation among the top 100 quarterbacks.
The bottom line is the guy had an amazing season and, in my opinion, deserves the Heisman.
And, no, I am not from Florida. I'm from Texas.
What's wrong with Colt Brennan? I guess playing for an undefeated team from Hawaii doesn't count for anything other than absolute dismissal. You so-called East Coast experts are some of the most truly misguided egotists of all time who glorify in your own self-importance.
? Jim in Hawaii
-----
Anyway, I did not vote for Brennan because I don't think he was most deserving. Hawaii's schedule included two Division I-AA teams and only two teams (Boise State and Fresno State) that managed winning records. Hawaii's opponents were a combined 53-92.
How many teams do you think would finish unbeaten against that cupcake schedule?
Furthermore, seven of Hawaii's opponents ranked 67th or worse in pass defense, and that doesn't include the Division I-AA teams (1-11 Northern Colorado and 5-6 Charleston Southern).
What would Tebow do against that schedule? Or Georgia's Matthew Stafford or Oklahoma's Sam Bradford or Boston College's Matt Ryan?
Heck, Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell had more passing yards, more touchdowns, a higher completion percentage and fewer interceptions than Brennan. Admittedly, Texas Tech also played a lot of teams with horrendous pass defenses, but at least it faced Oklahoma and Missouri.
Of course, Brennan can't be faulted for the schedule Hawaii played (that's on the athletic director), but he shouldn't be given the Heisman after playing against those teams, either.
Do you think (Clemson quarterback) Cullen Harper will be a Heisman contender next season?
? Dan in Columbia, S.C.
-----
That's certainly a possibility if he raises his performance a notch.
Harper was exceptional in the second half of the season. He completed at least 65 percent of his passes in the last six games and had 13 touchdown passes and three interceptions as Clemson went 5-1 in that span.
Of course, he would have had one more touchdown pass, the Tigers would have gone 6-0 in that span and they would've had a shot at the ACC championship if not for a dropped pass that would have produced a game-winning touchdown in the final minute against Boston College.
If no Tigers enter the NFL Draft, Harper will return his top two receivers, including Aaron Kelly, who had that unfortunate drop. Tailbacks James Davis and C.J. Spiller would also be back, so that would put a lot of talented players around Harper.
Harper would have to raise his yardage totals and Clemson would have to avoid that unexpected loss it seems to endure every season.
The top preseason candidates for next season (we're presuming McFadden and Kevin Smith enter the NFL Draft) likely will be Tebow, Daniel, Ohio State tailback Chris Wells, West Virginia quarterback Pat White, Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford, Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell and wide receiver Michael Crabtree and Texas tailback Jamaal Charles.
Others surely will emerge. Harper could be one of them.
Can anyone explain why Wake Forest could (and will) defeat the Big East co-champion in a bowl game and still not be ranked in next year's preseason Top 25? What has to happen for Wake Forest to be ranked in the Top 25 at the end of the season? Where is the respect?
? Al in North Carolina
-----
First of all, Al, this season isn't over yet, so I wouldn't worry about next year's preseason poll.
The probable reason Wake Forest isn't ranked in the top 25 is because the Deacons finished third in the Atlantic Division of the ACC. The only currently ranked teams to finish third in a division are No. 9 Florida and No. 25 Arkansas of the SEC, which is a much stronger conference than the ACC.
Also, it doesn't help Wake Forest's case that it lost at home to a dreadful Nebraska team. In fact, none of the Deacons' eight victories were against teams that currently are ranked and only two were over opponents with winning records ? 8-4 Navy and 7-5 Florida State.
That said, if Wake Forest defeats Connecticut in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 29, the Deacons likely will finish in the final Top 25, which will enhance their chances of being included in next year's preseason rankings.

When Stanford played at North Carolina a few days ago (Aug. 27), it marked the earliest rematch of the previous season's Division I women's soccer NCAA title game in the nearly three decades of D-I women's soccer play (since '82) ... Stanford gained some measure of redemption by playing UNC to a 2-2 tie, roughly nine months after dropping a hard-fought, 1-0 championship game vs. the Tar Heels to cap the 2009 season.
CollegeSoccer360 has crunched the historical numbers for such title-game rematch games, with notes following below (the bottom of this release includes a complete listing of the title games/rematches):
• There had been 10 previous rematches of title games in the ensuing regular season – and Stanford did what only three of the previous 10 teams had managed to do (avenge the title-game loss in a regular-season win/tie) ... following Stanford's 2-2 game at UNC, the defending champion now is 7-2-2 in a title-game rematch during the following regular season ... George Mason beat North Carolina in the 1985 title game, but UNC then won the rematch vs. GMU early in the 1986 regular season (4-2, at GMU; 9/21/86) ... the defending champ then won the next four regular-season rematches, before Notre Dame played to a 2-2 game vs. visiting North Carolina on Sept. 19, 1997 (at ND ... UNC had beaten ND 1-0 in 2 OT, to win the '96 NCAA title) ... Portland beat its WCC rival Santa Clara in the 2002 NCAA title game, but SCU edged the Pilots the following November (2-1; 2 OT).

Last Thursday,.
One day later, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed a motion to stay Judge Costa's order to suspended those provisions, arguing an injunction would lead to confusion and possibly disenfranchise more voters if third party volunteers improperly handled registration. Judge Costa will rule on A.G. Abbott's motion on Wednesday to determine whether to allow those five provisions of Texas law to remain in effect pending a full trial.
There are more than 13 million registered voters in Texas, roughly 71 percent of the voting age population, however, there’s a fight brewing over exactly who can register the rest.
At issue are a five provisions of current Texas law, from a pair of items passed during the last session to legislation dating to the mid-1980s. One provision keeps third-party voter registration groups from working in more than one county.
Another specifies only Texas residents who are themselves registered to vote in a county can can become a deputy registrar to register new voters who reside only in that same county. Other elements include legislation to keep registrars from being paid in relation to the number they sign up, from photocopying registration certificates and from mailing completed forms.
Last week, a federal judge put those laws on hold with an injunction against the State of Texas. In his 94-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Gregg Costa of Galveston called the rules “more burdensome… than the vast majority, if not all, other states.”
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott replied Friday with a motion to stay, arguing an injunction would lead to confusion and possibly disenfranchise more voters if third party volunteers improperly handled registration. ”I just think it’s another straw man,” said Dicky Grigg, an Austin attorney representing Voting for America, an organization that includes non-partisan voter registration organization Project Vote and a plaintiff in the original lawsuit against Texas.
Grigg characterizes the legislation as a whole as “sort of like a thousand small cuts,” designed to disenfranchise minority voters under the guise of preventing statistically rare voter fraud. ”What they’re trying to do is to prevent the registration of minority voters. That’s basically the bottom line of what the legislature has done,” said Grigg. “Talking to the media they talk about voter fraud, but there wasn’t one piece of evidence of voter fraud put on before this judge because it doesn’t exist,” said Grigg. “It’s not a problem.”

Alleged Burglars Caught in the Act, Lead Police to Collingswood Stash
The pair were apprehended outside of a Cherry Hill home Tuesday, and then led police to a house in Collingswood where a large amount of stolen jewelry was recovered.
A man and woman caught in the act of burglarizing a Cherry Hill home on Tuesday confessed to a string of similar crimes, and eventually led authorities to a Collingswood home where they had stashed a bunch of stolen jewelry, Cherry Hill Police said. Thomas E. Ambrose 4th, 27, of Cherry Hill, and Ashley N. Stanczyk, 27, of Marlton, were caught after a resident in the Colwick section of the township reported that the pair was trying to break into the back door of her Kent Road home, police said. Officers arrived on the scene shortly after the call, which came around 4 p.m., and found Ambrose and Stanczyk still on the home's rear deck, police said. Cherry Hill officer Christopher Wernig and K-9 Mika took them into custody. The two alleged …

Colorado civil unions hearing comes as national debate shifts on gay marriage
By John Tomasic | 04.08.09 | 10:25 am
Proponents of a 2010 Colorado ballot initiative that would establish civil unions for same-sex couples met with state attorneys on Tuesday for a required “review and comments” session, a typically staid affair that normally draws only those required to attend.
But this was no usual session. Although the initiative was proposed last month, Tuesday’s review comes during a week when gay marriage has been at the center of national news and when developments across the country are dramatically shifting the terrain of the debate. | http://coloradoindependent.com/tag/civil-union-initiative | 2013-05-18T10:31:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Us moms had a bit of a tea party this week, well we like to call it a play date and the house we were at happens to have a big building site in front of them. The absolute joy on the one little guys face when he realized there was a construction site in front of the house was pure joy to watch… There was so much waving to the digger drivers, and much excitement as the bob cats drove past and even hooted at us. It was a tea party with a difference, that’s for sure!
I was amazed again at the difference between boys and girls, and just how amazing a digger can be for boys!
I haven’t done a party theme for a while so thought this was the perfect excuse! Gorgeous little Adam… I hope your mom maybe gives you a digger party at your next birthday
(Both the above images and other party ideas for this theme from here)
(Image from Pinterest) In case you’re wondering, I would assume they’ve used chocolate cake for the soil?
Awesome cake recipe from Family Fun

This is my favourite cake I think! (from Team Smith) Photo below also from here.
Uh, how are you reading my mind like that? This stuff is PERFECT for C’s birthday – I’m so making that cake. THANKS!!!
Can’t wait to hear how the birthday party goes
Ah you are such a cleaver girl Jude! Thank you so much for this lovely post! Adam was so excited when I showed him his digger party, he even looked for himself in the sandpit photo! Bless him, will send you pics of his digger party in Feb! xxxx

A new day in the 'Neighborhood'
Posted July 22, 2012
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is making room for a new generation of neighbors.
Premiering Labor Day weekend, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is an animated extension of the late Fred Rogers' beloved PBS classic. The star in this new half-hour weekday series, aimed at children 2-4, is Daniel Tiger, the 4-year-old son of Daniel Striped Tiger, Rogers' first puppet. He and his friends, all sons and daughters of Rogers' original puppet characters, go through adventures and sing songs meant to teach social skills -- from dealing with disappointment to controlling anger and learning patience.
Produced by The Fred Rogers Company, the show arrives with the cooperation and blessing of Rogers' widow, Joanne Rogers. "My feeling is he would really be pleased with this," she says.
Unlike the original show, which was built around Rogers as our guide to the Land of Make Believe, Daniel is led by an animated tiger cub. Joanne Rogers had originally hoped to find a human host to step into her husband's tennis shoes, but, she says, "there is nobody else. It really is as simple as that. Fred didn't spend much time worrying about that when he was alive, because he thought there were people who might be possibilities. But it just didn't work."
And while the old Neighborhood used puppets instead of cartoons, that's not because Fred Rogers was opposed to animation, she says. "He looked into it. It just never happened. He liked the idea of having some animation."
The new series is produced by Blue's Clues' Angela C. Santomero, who says she was a huge fan of the series growing up. "It's nothing new to her," says Rogers. "That's a real blessing. And she's well known to PBS, and that's another plus."
Daniel, of course, is not meant to replace the original Neighborhood, which will continue in reruns. But in today's TV economy, particularly on PBS, merely repeating the show was not going to be enough to keep The Fred Rogers Company going. "If we didn't start producing programs, we're not going to make it. That's just a fact of life."
And here's another fact: It's nearly impossible today to make the economics of children's television work without having toys attached. So while the older Daniel Tiger didn't come as a plush toy, his son will.
The Fred Rogers legacy goes on in many ways, some homage, some parody, some knock-offs and some just nasty. His widow says she avoids looking at most of them, but she does enjoy one in particular: The Garden of Your Mind Web video mashup, which reminds her of the "silly" and "whimsical" Fred she knew.
"The more I see it, the more I like it. It's like a part of Fred that I knew. He was not always so measured. So that's really like the Fred I knew."

Wishing All a Very Blessed, Happy and Joyful Holiday!
With record snow falls today it was a just the kind of day to round up some friends and available family members to go snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, or if neither were available, a well boot-up hike- though you hustled a bit faster to keep up.
Usually the skiing kicks in later this month, right around Christmas break and throughout the rest of the winter, whenever good snow and tracks are easy to find or make. And living in a metro-urban city hasn’t stopped this faved activity in the least, although we are fortunate to have patches of wooded areas and a major lake providing a spectacular view in any season. I think we were all captured by Winter Solstice awe, and yet conscious of a special someone who is still not with us- yet.
Gathering at the last minute, though for some was not possible with the drive, was one of those quirky “T” (moi) -things I end up being happy I did. Making vegetarian chili with eggplant subji (the eggplant… ahem, was leftovers, but no one complained) and the chili-cheese cornbread finished with barely a crumb left in the pans.
And though the dishes have been cleared, the last to linger have left safely, I’m not quite too tired as I type this.
I’m intentionally and slowly appreciating this past evening, and find an email with the day’s horoscope, equally perfect to tie into the meaning of the past day for me from a dear friend who is also, like myself, an Aries:
Feeling Earnest -
You may already be feeling your brows furrowing today as you notice your serious attitude. Because you may be looking at life from a weighty perspective, you could be feeling earnest. Life can indeed be worthy of solemn appraisal at times, and allowing ourselves to interpret situations from this standpoint may give us valuable insight to draw upon in future days when we are feeling lighter. As we follow our intuitive guidance, we will naturally shift from this mood when the time is right, so we mustn’t feel guilty about losing the edge of intensity whatever the circumstances seem to dictate. As you seek to honor your inner guidance and seek balance in your life, today gives you the opportunity to experience a perspective of depth that may serve you well in the future. Though our goal in life may be happiness, we can have times of serious contemplation of weighty subjects without it meaning that we are off the path. Life requires balance and sometimes that involves experiencing darkness in order to understand and appreciate the light. Without the contrast, life can lose its meaning. It is perhaps an unfortunate aspect of the nature of the material world and its dualities. So today don’t fight the sober mood, but instead learn all you can from it in order to allow it to infuse your happier times with a new depth of meaning and your life with a greater understanding of balance.

Even though both our daughter’s are well beyond the fantasies of a “real” Santa, the story of the Tomtem, mythical Finnish elves, (and these days what I would give for a Tomtem to help cook and clean!) and snuggling up to endlessly open each envelope within Tolkien’s Letters From Father Christmas, the magic and our imaginations still shine with wonder and grace for the season– no matter what.
The Spirit of the Holiday is quite powerful if you take the time to remember and reflect on what truly is important and meaningful. Such a simple and beautiful gift to give oneself, but not always easy to do.
‘Tis the season of gift giving and ever-expanding commercialization of Christmas as we modern people know all too well. This busying and running here and there has robbed the “sacredness of the season” as I refer back to the wise words of John Matthews:
This season our wish is for our youngest daughter to really begin believing, once again, within her own inner gifts, her endless possibilities to live a full and happy Life, without ED. That she can accept herself as she is, feel safe, trust herself and others, allow her body and mind the time it needs to heal; and acknowledge her own true needs.
It again, seems so simple.
I also wish for all of you to give yourselves the gift of time to listen to your own true needs, find an inner abundance of Peace and Love, and allow time and space to fully ENJOY this holiday season!

Very Miao - some of us are in portland and enjoy seeing what is in our area as we don't have a AT of our own yet... You can share!
fourwalls - those bedside tables are from target...
Ha that's so funny Linnea, I was going to say the same thing. So funny they posted them as antique. I'm actually on my way to ikea to get one of those frames - love them!
ooh... good ideas - I have the same desk at home and use it for my craft area. I had considered getting rid of it to get something a little more streamlined but the huge work space it just too hard to give up. I love the idea of painting it glossy white though... I may have to try that one of these days.
I too have been looking for one of these lamps for a while... but still don't know if I can stomach the $200 for it. But they are sooo pretty! | http://community.apartmenttherapy.com/users/34394-coconutt | 2013-05-18T10:32:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
I got this assemble yourself trex lamp as a christmas gift a few years ago .. it's one of only a few home decor things that made it in the car on a cross country move a few months ago it so much :)
love the room ... where did you get that chair? I actually just got the same one from goodwill! | http://community.apartmenttherapy.com/users/454389-erinbird | 2013-05-18T10:32:34 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

I second the FLOR tile rugs recommendation. I bought a few more tiles than I needed and they've worked great.First off, they look fantastic. They're super easy to clean on a daily basis. The pile is short enough you can effectively sweep or vacuum them. They're surprisingly comfortable for tired & sore feet. They adapt perfectly to just about any space. Whenever one or all of them needs a deep & through cleaning I simply pick 'em up and give them a good scrubbing followed by air drying in the sun.Grabbing a couple packs of FLOR tiles from a DWR warehouse sale a few years back has been one of the best ROI design/utility snags of the last decade.
Pre Thanksgiving we do a large scale toy evaluation and purge. Broken toys are trashed/recycled. Good toys are donated to charity.Post Christmas, we stash at least half of the toys in the space saved by the purge. New toys are rotated in about once a week.We repeat the purge and stash process for birthdays.Through out the year we try (try!) to stay on top of it and have done a few informal toy swaps with two families with kids of similar age. I hope to do more this year.We stay on the look out for family/friends with kids a few years behind ours and pay if forward with timely, age appropriate hand me downs, as we've been blessed to receive from our family and friends with older kids.Child related clutter is rampant. Hoarding is a family curse and I work diligently to prevent my kids from falling into the habit.
We got a big leather storage ottoman from overstock and it's been fantastic. It's safe for our kids and other kids when then visit, super easy to wipe clean, and it's great when you want to quickly clean up all those toys when "grown-up" guests come over. It's been four years so far and it's held up beautifully. At least two of our friends and one cousin with infants/toddlers have bought similar ottomans after seeing ours. I highly recommend finding an upholstered storage ottoman that works with the decor in your home if you're looking for a coffee table alternative that's child safe.
Erica, you supplied the clue to the right move for your family with your final comment. As someone that takes the garbage out nearly every day, you've no need for a dedicated diaper pail. I'm sure you can figure out a routine that works on your own.As for the wiper warmer, as I'm sure you gathered, it's only necessary if you live in a very cold apartment.Congratulations on your impending motherhood. Enjoy the journey.
Does anyone have an idea where that headboard is from?This apartment really works for me, great job Laura.
Want, need, love, covet this.
It's breathtaking. Beautiful work.
They named it right, I want one!
That's something on which to anchor your whole kitchen.
That's just tasty!'m in love...
A 1940's Tudor is a Historic Treasure. Most, if not all, of the original woodwork will be old growth wood, a unique and valuable element in your home. If the wood is oak, maple, mahogany etc., painting it will lower the value home and the quality of the woodwork irreparably.Newer/replacement woodwork or original woodwork done in cheaper woods like pine, fir, and poplar can often be painted without undue damage to the value of the historical home, especially if it's been previously or is currently painted.Have you considered alternate means of "lightening" up the house? Fabric, Artwork, Lighting, etc. all be used to great effect. Over time the original varnish on wood may get unusually dark and dirty. If that applies here, sometimes it can be lightened if it's cleaned with denatured alcohol.I recommend learning more about the history of your particular home/neighborhood before you consider painting.There are numerous historical societies, the National Trust for the Preservation of Homes, the National Register of Historic Places, all with resources for learning about the uniqueness, scarcity, and value of owning and preserving a historical home like yours.I wish you the best of luck in your journey to making this house the home you've always wanted.

YES!!! I have only a ten minute commute and every day, I see about a dozen near accidents due to cell phone users talking/texting on the freeway/city streets. Imagine how much stupidity FedEx/UPS/Taxi drivers see on a daily basis due to inattentive drivers talking/texting on their phones. I'd have one in my car and turn it on every time I noticed the driver in front of me suddenly stop paying attention to traffic.It's a tad difficult to use your "big boy/girl" words to ask the driver on the freeway in front of you causing traffic to grind to a stand-still to stop using their phone. Every day I watch lots of drivers go traffic unaware because they're convinced they can handle texting and driving at the same time (they can't, you can't).If my commute was an hour long, I'd happily spend $500 bucks to kill the cell phone calls of the inconsiderate drivers that insist on holding a phone to their ear, looking at maps/directions on their phones or texting while they drive.I know I'll get flammed for this post, but it's telling how the same selfish drivers that use their phones on the road are the same nincompoops that lay on the horn or suddenly speed up when they get passed. These people have no problem screwing up the flow of traffic for miles but god forbid someone pass them.My vote is a resounding yes. | http://community.apartmenttherapy.com/users/8513-JustPuked | 2013-05-18T10:42:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Hating up Close
Politics and Tactics by Frank Ricci
Hating up Close,
It has been said that it is hard to hate up close. Many times we often avoid situations that make us feel uncomfortable to our own detriment. I learned this lesson the hard way once I got promoted. One night I was detailed to another fire station. Not being familiar with the crew, especially the driver made me feel uneasy. This shift was not eating dinner together so I checked out my equipment and went into…

Westminster was on last night. What a great way to get to check out the different breeds that are out there. Tons of video on line with all the breeds registered by the AKC. I'm more of an obedience fan but then comformation does let us know about the breeding stock available. This goes nicely with The Indy Winter Classic that was over this past weekend.

Hello one of our costumer have 10 x WAP 3 with WM 6.1 Classic (OS: f271w) and two of the wap have the problem if you scan a barcode (GS1-128, 14 signs) the scan result are slow written to word see video here:
You see that after scan the signs are written bit by bit to the word document by the other 8 wap it doesn´t happens and the scan engine write the whole readed barcode in once.
Have somebody an idea where is the problem? We have make Cleanstart and installed after this ADDOn Code and make the video where the readed barcode are give very slow to word.
Systemproperties you see here:
Thank you for your answer.
Andreas
Hallo Andreas,
Out-of-the-box, when a barcode is read, our Scanner Control Services (SCS) currently wedge the barcode data as follows:
it raises a key down event followed by a key up event for every barcode digit/character.
vvvv
On the other hand, the application, I shared with you, registers with the scanner (in other words, it supersedes the default scanner wedge) and every time a barcode is read, it copies the barcode data into the system clipboard and then raises a CTRL+V key event sequence to paste the data. The barcode data is therefore pushed to the foreground application as a single block of data and no longer as a [long] key event sequence.
& Last but not least, as stated in this post, the « Copy and Paste of scanned data » method will soon be the default mechanism for wedging.
MfGJacques
Halli Hallo Andreas,
Could you please try the following and let us know if it helps?
Please, click Start è Settings è Personal è Input è Word Completion then uncheck the 'Suggest words when entering text' and the 'Enable Auto Correct' check boxes.
Hello Jacques,
both check boxes are unchecked but the problem still exist.
Do you have another idea?
Best regards
Can you please give the ScanAndPasteProgram.exe program - posted here and here - a try and let us know how it goes form your end?
our partner have tested the software but get a error message. typ: PsionTeklogix.Barcode.ScannerServices.ScannerServicesDriver not possible to load.
and i too if i copy to a wap and start the program.
Thank you for your answer
Andraes
Andreas,
Entschuldigung
You are receiving such error as the program was designed to be executed against a Windows Mobile 6.x device with .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
I should have specified this particularity in my previous post.
In fact, I should have wriiten
Can you please give one of the below ScanAndPasteProgram.exe programs a try and let us know how it goes form your end?
Sorry about that.MfG
Jacques
Hi Jacques,
our partner have tested your software and now the scanned string are faster written to word then with keyboard wedge. Do you know why or what can we change?
Regards
But now is the question why it function by 8 of 10 WAP´s with speed correct and by 2 of the WAP´s it function slow with barcode scanning? What do you think how long it will be that there is a new version of operting system which are implement your solution?
software from you work perfect.

Dear Ms. Giffords,
I was just celebrating my acceptance to Scripps and meeting with other new Scrippsies online when I saw word of the terrible tragedy at Tucson. It was shocking to hear that someone from the college that I had just learned I would attend had been injured in the incident.
Ever since then, I’ve been following news of the shooting and your recovery very closely. Although this event is just terrible, it has been very inspiring to watch your remarkable demonstrations of strength—not just for someone who is about to go to Scripps, but for everyone else who has been watching you as well. So many people around me have expressed how your recovery shines a little hope on this tragedy.
When I step onto campus for the first time as a Scripps student, I’ll be honored to be going to the same college that shaped a woman like you.
Hoping the best for you,
Electra Chong

As Hans has suggested, a truly LL(2) language would have an LL(2)

(visited by Philipp Funovits and Katharina Gugerell)
13-Jan-2011 -- Continued from 25S 47E. This was the last in a string of six Confluences we visited on Madagascar around New Year's Eve.
We didn't plan for visiting this one, but since we had another day left before we were supposed to board the flight home, we decided on embarking on a little day-trip visiting this CP. We went to Antananarivo's bustling Gare routière, the main hub for south- and westbound buses. We found a minibus headed towards Minarinarivo without any trouble. We had to wait for the ticket-shills to hustle up enough customers to fill the bus though, which took around 45 minutes. We were glad to leave the bewilderingly chaotic and grubby streets of Antana behind us for a while and enjoyed the ride towards the Confluence. The bus followed the B1 due west and we were surprised to find the road in excellent condition, quite a contrast to the decrepit condition typical for Madagascar's road network.
We hopped off the bus after one hour give or take in a little village 2.5 kilometres from the Confluence. We decided to walk the remaining distance. The hilly landscape is partly covered with dry woodlands and single conifers (mainly pine) and small structured rice paddies in the valleys. The CP is located on the slope descending due south from the embankment, a few dozen meters from the pavement between some single conifers (a variety of pine we couldn't identify) and was easy accessible.
We took the required pictures and started walking back to the village where we got off the bus. We bought fresh pineapple from a street vendor, celebrated the successful visit and enjoyed the mild weather that day. We stopped the next minibus returning to Antana where we arrived early in the afternoon. | http://confluence.org/confluence.php?lat=-19&lon=47 | 2013-05-18T10:32:44 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

You did NOT have a "weird Catholic upbringing". Everything you stated was true for me as well.
My hope is that someday the Church will have members as passionate, open minded, and truly Christ-like as you.
Thank you for your comments and for giving us a voice.

Does anyone know if WITF put out a request for tender or was this simply a job given to "a friend of a friend"? Which agency did get the job?
As Ms. Pavelko had her eye on a bigger prize, does that explain the reason why the Annual Art Auction was discontinued? Too "Harrisburg local" for her?
I have always been a great supporter of Public Television and Radio, here in Central PA, and in other areas of the country where I have lived.
I agree with "ericblair" to some degree that "WITF has some fabulous programs, real quality programs not duplicated by any commercial station." The problem I see is that WITF "HAD" excellent programs in the past. You can't call their offerings now anything but substandard: decades old British comedy, repeats after repeats, the constant fundraising commercial breaks, the list goes on.
I too have a problem with the salaries of WITF top management. Were any management positions cut? In addition to Pavelko's salary, what other perks come along with the job? Were any of these eliminated?
The last straw for me was when I read the press releases announcing the "new logo". NEW LOGO?! At a time when jobs will be cut, programming is suffering, the future is uncertain at best, and they are worried about a new logo!?! Does anyone know which agency got the job to design the logo and what they were paid for their services?
As much as I hate to say this, and I NEVER thought I would think this way, cut the funding. Shut the doors unless Pavelko and crew can come up with a plan that will bring viewers and listeners back with innovative, quality programing.
In the words of Barbara Bush: “I sat next to her once, thought she was beautiful, and I think she’s very happy in Alaska. And I hope she’ll stay there.”
We don't need her, and her ridiculous sideshow, in Dillsburg.
Pitapita:
Thanks for listing these points in your post.
Unfortunately, The Followers are blind to the facts.
Master Ringleader Beck, and for that matter his cohort of hangers-on, is preaching to the choir. As the accomplished showman that he is, he's giving his audience what they want to hear.
I find his schtick especially offensive because he's playing the shell game, using the emotions of his Follwers to get what he wants.
And we all know he's laughing all the way to the bank!
I'm sure Beck got the lion's share. He'll be crying all the way to the bank.
Why aren't his supporters demanding accountability, especially as the final sum will go to service personnel?
pa_skook:
Can you say "Shell Game"??
To forest and the other Beck-Palin-Tea Party fans who are all excited about how much aid our service personnel will receive from the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF),
Don't get too excited.
Read the fine print on Beck's website:
"The purchase of Restoring Honor Rally merchandise is not a donation to SOWF, but all net proceeds from the sale of Restoring Honor Rally merchandise is being donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. All contributions made to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) will first be applied to the costs of the Restoring Honor Rally taking place on August 28, 2010. All contributions in excess of these costs will then be retained by the SOWF."
So Beck will let them have what's left.
How generous of him.
Our service people deserve so much more!
I was surprised to hear she was still on radio.
I heard the exchange she had with the woman caller to her show. In addition to the use of the racial slur, I was offended by her comment "Don't you NAACP me..".
Would she tolerate "Don't you AIPAC me..."?
Oh yeah...that's right..."Dr." Laura is not Jewish anymore.
And go2gal, those straight people who were fighting to be recognized as a "couple" in the '60's and '70's have succeeded.
"Common Law" marriage is legally recognized in some jurisdictions.
