CEC members in the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) educated zoo visitors about the threats that apes face and how people can contribute to their survival. EAZA will be collaborating with the IUCN Species Survival Commission in 2012.
The EAZA Ape Campaign ran from October 2010 until September 2011 and focused attention on the conservation of chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, bonobo and gibbon. Key issues that the campaign wanted to address focused on increasing ape habitat protection and reducing habitat loss, reducing hunting and trade of apes and changing consumer behaviour to reduce pressure on apes and their habitats. The campaign had three main objectives:
- raising awareness of the threats that apes face;
- lobbying decision-makers and key influencers about these threats;
- raising funds to establish the EAZA Ape Conservation Fund that will support ape conservation projects.
In order to deliver the main campaign objectives strategic partnerships were developed with a range of organisations and projects and a campaign website was designed. The website contained lots of information regarding the apes, the threats, and merchandise items to help raise money for the campaign. The website also included a resources section full of campaign-related materials such as photographs, illustrations, species fact sheets and many other educational resources that could be used for fundraising and educational purposes. All participating zoos were encouraged to host Ape Week from April 18th to 24th 2011, in the run-up to Easter Sunday. The idea behind this was that a coordinated focus on the campaign, with lots of ape-related activities would generate lots of interest across Europe.
The Ape Campaign had great success meeting the three objectives. Throughout the summer and especially during Ape week around 165 participating zoos held awareness and fundraising events. Numerous educational activities were organized, ranging from chimpanzee face-painting, gorilla buttons and gibbon mask-making to producing enrichment materials for orangutans and collecting old mobile phones for recycling. Together with non-EAZA members and individuals more than €400.000 was raised for ape conservation. Since the closing of the campaign the EAZA Ape Conservation Fund has already supported four ape conservation projects with a total amount of €130.000.
The campaign has also been successful in lobbying decision-makers. More than eighteen months of lobbying by EAZA members paid a significant dividend in July 2011 when the European Parliament and Commission adopted an agreement on food information for consumers which will result in the mandatory labelling of palm oil in food products in Europe. The lobbying activities, which took place in conjunction with other like-minded organisations, directly addressed the threats that orangutans face. The production of palm oil is the single greatest threat to orangutans in the wild, destroying their tropical forest homes and bringing them into conflict with people as they move to find refuge.
Since the year 2000 EAZA's conservation campaigns have raised funds, promoted awareness and provided the impetus for key regulatory change.
This year EAZA is joining forces with the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to raise funds and awareness for the conservation of the biodiversity of Southeast Asia. The IUCN/SSC effort has identified that big animals in Southeast Asia are declining most rapidly and that without immediate action could disappear forever. The EAZA IUCN/SSC Southeast Asia Campaign aims to combat this potential loss of Southeast Asian diversity.

Rev. Barney & Stella Dewey
65th Wedding Anniversary 2013
Mary and Clayton have been sixty-five years together. Love came to them young, and still it stays. In their hearts they feel that it's forever, sweet love walking with them all their days. However much life crashes hard around them, all they have to do is turn within. A gentle peace, serene and clear, surrounds them, nor need they strive some stranger's eye to win. Despite this joy, they know there's some rough sailing to come between reality and dream. In choosing you, they've laid some grounds for failing; more doubt and wonder that it first might seem. May their love take them through these shoals of night. Years on years will prove young love was right.
The entire "Dewey Family" has in the past spent several vacations along the California coast, predominately in Santa Cruz area; close to the beaches, this was their ideal vacation.This year in honor of their 65th Anniversary – the extended "Dewey Family" celebrated with their 5 children, 8 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
"Happy Trails to you, until we meet again."

#1 World War II: General George S. Patton's Race to Capture Messina08-17-2012, 01:52 PM
Inside Seventh Army headquarters on the southern coast of Sicily, a scowling Lieutenant General George S. Patton, Jr., greeted Lieutenant General Omar Bradley with bad news. 'We've received a directive from Army Group, Brad,' Patton said between puffs on a cigar. 'Monty's to get the Vizzini-Caltagirone road in his drive to flank Catania and Mount Etna by going up through Enna. This means you'll have to side-slip to the west with your 45th Division.'
'My God,' Bradley replied angrily, 'you can't allow him to do that!'
But Patton had nothing else to say on the subject. 'Sorry Brad,' he said evenly, 'but the changeover takes place immediately. Monty wants the road right away.'
To Patton, Bradley, and just about every other senior United States Army officer, British General Sir Bernard Montgomery got his way entirely too often. This time, just four days into Operation HUSKY (the code name for the Allied Invasion of Sicily), Montgomery had convinced 15th Army Group Commander General Sir Harold Alexander to grant his Eighth Army exclusive use of a highway previously promised to the Americans. Patton and Bradley considered the decision an insult to American military prestige.
On July 10, 1943, Allied ships had deposited Patton's Seventh U.S. Army on the beaches along the Gulf of Gela, on Sicily's southwest coast. Montgomery's British Eighth Army went ashore to the east, south of Syracuse. The Allies targeted the city of Messina, at the northeast tip of the triangular island. Capturing Sicily would eliminate persistent Axis attacks on nearby Mediterranean supply routes, and if Messina could be taken quickly, the invaders would snare thousands of Axis prisoners and gain a convenient jump-off spot for the upcoming invasion of Italy.
By July 13, Bradley's II Corps had advanced inland to within 1,000 yards of the Vizzini-Caltagirone road (Route 124)a major transport route that cut east to west across the center of the island. Meanwhile, dug-in German troops had blunted Montgomery's advance up the island's east coast, hemming Eighth Army in on the plain of Catania between towering Mount Etna and the sea. In a sudden change of plan, Montgomery decided to send a flanking force west around Etna. To do so he needed Route 124, and Alexander, who had overall command of HUSKY's ground forces, gave it to him. The Americans, one of Patton's frustrated staff officers said, were left to'sit comfortably on our prats while Montgomery finishes the goddam war!'
The British generals thought little of American fighting ability. In February, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps had thrust across the hot sands of North Africa and smashed through inexperienced and poorly led U.S. troops at Tunisia's Kasserine Pass. The unfortunate performance of the young Americansmany of whom had never before seen battledistressed the British commanders. Alexander declared, 'they lack the will to fight.' Montgomery believed 'they have no confidence in their Generals.'
In the wake of the disaster at Kasserine Pass, the Allied Commander in the Mediterranean, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, sent Patton to Tunisia to take over U.S. II Corps. Patton quickly injected discipline and his fighting spirit into the corps and led it to victories at Gafsa and El Guettar. In mid-April as the Tunisian Campaign neared its end, Patton left the corps in Bradley's hands and returned to French Morocco to take part in planning for the Sicily operation.
Despite the Americans' improvement on the battlefield, Alexander and Montgomery remained unimpressed. For their part, Patton and many of his colleagues resented British impertinence, especially on the part of Montgomery. Arrogant, self-centered, and pushy, the 56-year-old general in the natty black beret irked his colleagues with outlandish statements and demands. In many ways he was not unlike Patton. At the age of 58, Patton was deeply religious, swashbuckling, 'human dynamo' who strutted around in a polished steel helmet with a pair of ivory-handled revolvers strapped to his waist. 'His vigor was always infectious, his wit barbed, his conversation a mixture of obscenity and good humor,' Bradley wrote. 'He was at once stimulating and overbearing. George was a magnificent soldier.' By the time he waded ashore on Sicily, Patton's antipathy toward his British counterparts had also come to affect his relationship with his boss, Eisenhower. Patton's long-time friend had the difficult job of holding together the young Anglo-American alliance. But Patton felt that American interests and honor too often took a back seat to British demands. 'God damn all British and all so-called Americans who have their legs pulled by them,' Patton wrote in his diary in Tunisia. 'Ike is more British than the British and is putty in their hands . . . .'
For the first invasion of the Axis' home turf, Patton commanded the new Seventh U.S. Army, including Bradley's II Corps. Patton welcomed the chance to assert U.S. military might. Initially scheduled to land on the island's northern coast and capture Sicily's capital Palermo, American troops expected to go on the offensive in Sicily. But Montgomery favored a less dispersed landing to the south and in the end, his plan won out. Patton still expected Seventh Army to make its mark. But to Alexander, it was clear that 'Eighth Army would have the glory of capturing the more obviously attractive objectives of Syracuse, Catania, and Messina . . . .'
From the outset Eighth Army strategy left little room for Patton to operate, and Montgomery essentially imposed his will on Alexander. Montgomery reasoned that if the Americans could simply 'hold firm against any action from the west I could then swing hard with my right with an easier mind. If they draw enemy attacks on them my swing north will cut off enemy completely.' Two days later, Alexander transferred use of Highway 124 to Montgomery. 'They gave us the future plan of operations,' Patton wrote bitterly, 'which cuts us off from any possibility of taking Messina.'
Patton considered himself, with good reason, 'the best damn ass-kicker in the U.S. Army,' but he accepted this outrageous decision without a protest. This was not the time to raise a fuss. For the moment he saved his invective for his diary. 'Ike has never been subjected to air attack or any other form of death. However, he is such a straw man that his future is secure. The British will never let him go.'
Yet Patton did not simply give up Highway 124 with a smile. He slyly secured authorization to expand the American perimeter west. Patton had his eyes set on Palermo, and, ultimately, Messina. The next day Patton and Major General Lucien K. Truscott, who headed up the 3rd Infantry Division, discussed a westward reconnaissance in force toward Agrigento and Porto Empedocle. Truscott felt that Alexander would not object to such a move, and Patton, Truscott wrote, 'with something of the air of the cat that had swallowed the canary, agreed . . . .' Patton had his foot in the door and he meant to swing it open.

Just because the spring semester is coming to an end doesn't mean that Iowa City startup Tutor Universe is heading out on summer vacation. On the contrary, co-founder and CEO Michael Morrison said the company is busier than ever.
The team of 12 just completed a $300,000 round of funding from angel investors.
The Tutor Universe website, which went live for its soft launch last November, attracted roughly 1,300 users in its first two months. After the site's official launch at the end of January, numbers have risen to more than 6,000 registered tutors and pupils.
"We've made great progress with the business," Morrison said. "We'll probably surpass our growth objectives for the year by this summer in terms of how quickly our growth is accelerating."
The site functions as a virtual study hall, allowing college students to access tutors in a wide array of subjects, regardless of geographic location.
Morrison (right) and his co-founders, Hung Tran and Thomas Hornbeck, conceived Tutor Universe when Tran and Hornbeck saw an increased demand for tutoring while both were attending the University of Iowa.
In February, Tutor Universe joined a number of other local startups and moved into the Iowa City CoLab. It also was recognized as the 2012 University of Iowa Startup of the Year during the inaugural Hawkeye Innovation Summit in February.
Morrison says Tutor Universe plans to announce new web features for the site later this summer. Though plans for many of the additions are still under wraps, Morrison hinted that some may help users connect and communicate in new ways.
"The way that our system does the matchmaking we're seeing a lot of social collaboration going on outside of the tutoring," he said. "We have a number of social and collaborative components that we'll be adding."

According to Media Matters online outreach director Jay Carmona, who offers an interesting tip: "Just make sure that you take some time to talk about why certain things he says are wrong or messed up with your group, and that can actually be super, super empowering to do that."
Ha ha. Make sure you talk about why what he says is wrong. Did Carmona mean to reveal a fear that if people listen to Rush every day, they might unwittingly end up persuaded?
"Make sure that you also, just in general — if something is freaking you out and you are feeling really bad listening to Rush Limbaugh — take a break. Give yourself the time and the space that you need to listen to the stuff because it can be difficult at times," she said.It's so dangerous, listening to Rush... especially if you're as much of an emotional wreck as Carmona seems to think you are.

(CNN) -- The government has revised its rules on sea turtles to try to decrease the number killed every year and reduce the threats they face.
The new regulations place the Loggerhead turtle into nine distinct population groups, depending on where they live, instead of listing the marine animal as a single worldwide species. In all nine segments the turtles are listed as either threatened or endangered.
Officials at both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, both responsible for overseeing the turtle conservation efforts, say they can better address the challenges the turtles face with the new geographical division.
Loggerhead or marine turtles live in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. The new "distinct population segments" for the turtles are: The Northeast Atlantic Ocean group, the Mediterranean Sea, the North Indian Ocean, the North Pacific Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean, the Northwest Atlantic, which includes the Gulf of Mexico and our Atlantic Coast, the South Atlantic Ocean, the Southeast Indo-Pacific Ocean and the Southwest Indian Ocean.
Researchers estimate more than 4,500 loggerheads are killed every year by commercial fishing, but environmentalists believe the number is probably much higher.
Commercial fishing is one of the biggest risks for the turtles, whether they live in the Indian, Pacific or Atlantic oceans, said Jim Lecky, the fisheries director for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"They all continue to be challenged by a number of threats, incidental capture in fishing gear, longlines, gill nets, trawl gear, trap and pot lines, which tangle turtles and other species, and dredges; all have incidental mortality of sea turtles in those fisheries," he said.
But Lecky says that's not the only threat for the turtles. "They are all also challenged by losses of habitat, degradation of nesting habitat. There still is direct harvest of eggs in adults ... at some level and they are all subject to vessel strikes."
The turtles are facing all those threats, but at different levels. So the new rules will allow fine-tuning of sea turtle conservation measures and regulations.
"We believe that this revised listing of the Loggerhead will help us and our partners to better focus recovery and conservation efforts by allowing us to take a more regional approach. But, again, the separation of Loggerhead into these population groups will not reduce our current conservation efforts," said Sandy MacPherson, the national sea turtle coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
MacPherson also told CNN Radio, "These new listings will help us to provide more focused recovery and conservation, as well as more focused threat analysis and evaluation of conservation successes."
The Center for Biological Diversity said in a statement that Loggerhead populations "need more protection to survive this century."
The rule revisions also included designating five regional populations as endangered species, which the group characterized as "a wake-up call that a whole host of threats, from oil spills, channel dredging and commercial trawling to longline and gillnet fisheries, continue to kill off turtles faster than the animals can possibly hope to reproduce."
CNN's Ninette Sosa and Barbara Hall both contributed to this report.

One of the most bizarre products at this year's CES was iPotty, an iPad accessory that aims to get your little one potty-trained ASAP using the irresistible lure of technology.
The iPotty is one of those little, plastic toilets you set up for your tot when he or she is ready to start potty training, but with a catch: It has a built in iPad-holder, causing tiny tech-lovers to flock to the potty, knowing their favorite apps await. In a stroke of design brilliance, vendor CTA Digital even added a plastic cover to place over the iPad while little ones do their business, ensuring protection from -- well, you get the idea.
CTA Digital said the iPotty is slated for a March launch, starting at $40.

Google Text Ads In Newspapers: But Where Do You Click?
from the questions,-questions dept
A few months ago, it was widely reported that Google was getting into the print advertising business, placing ads in magazines. While they can apparently sell some of those ads at something of a premium, some have questioned how much efficiency Google can really add to the process. The process of setting up Google AdWords is incredibly easy. Setting up an ad for a print publication may take a bit more of an effort... unless, of course, Google simply puts the same ads in print as well. Search guru Danny Sullivan is reporting a rumor that Google is about to start placing ads in Chicago newspapers, and those ads will specifically be pulled straight from their text ads in the AdWords program. Of course, those ads are designed to make you click, and there's no place to click in a newspaper. One option might be to add a phone number and do "pay per call" which has been getting a lot of buzz lately -- but it's not clear how successful those programs are yet. Still, the bigger question is relevancy. Google's online ads can obviously be relevant based on keyword. That's obviously a lot more difficult in a newspaper.

2003-04 Women's Basketball
Hanover 83, BC 42
Rickenberg leads team with 14 points, Schaller ties own single game block record
By Ben Risinger, SID
January 10, 2004
The Bluffton College women's basketball team (1-12, 0-2 HCAC) were defeated by the Hanover College Panthers (6-6, 1-1 HCAC) 83-42 on Saturday afternoon.
Things were difficult for the Beavers from the start as they shot only 24 percent in the first half, committing 18 turnovers. The score at halftime was 48-17 in favor of the Panthers. In the second period Bluffton would hit free throws, but only connected with one bucket in the first ten minutes of the half. The Beavers tried to battle back but just could not overcome the point deficit.
Freshman Tanya Rickenberg (Defiance/Paulding) led the Beavers with 14 points. Sophomore Karin Schaller (Jenera/Arlington) posted eight points for the contest and led the team with eight rebounds. Schaller did have nine blocks for the game which ties her own Bluffton single game block record.
As a team the Beavers shot 23 percent for the game compared to Hanover's 41 percent. The Panthers led at the battle of the boards pulling down 52, to Bluffton's 44 rebounds. For the game Bluffton would commit 25 turnovers to Hanover's 10.
The Beavers will be back in action this Wednesday when they travel to Franklin College. Tip off for the game is scheduled for 7 pm.

Winning Mo. Powerball ticket verified
DEARBORN, Mo. (AP)
Missouri Lottery officials today verified one of two tickets that matched all six numbers to split a record $588 million Powerball jackpot, but that ticket holder — and another in Arizona — remained a mystery, even as neighbors and co-workers lamented their losses and gossiped about who may have won.
The tickets were sold at a convenience store in suburban Phoenix and a gas station in Dearborn, Mo., just off Interstate 29, the highway linking Kansas City to the Canadian border.
Missouri lottery officials said they verified a ticket that was presented to them Thursday and set a news conference for 11 a.m. CST Friday at North Platte High School, near where the ticket was bought.
Lottery Chief Operations Officer Gary Gonder couldn't provide any details, including whether the ticket was bought by someone from Missouri.
Speculation had many of Dearborn's 500 residents buzzing about who had won.
Cashiers Kristi Williams and Kelly Blount greeted customers with big smiles and questions about whether they had bought the winning ticket. No one had come forward to claim the prize by late Thursday morning, Missouri Lottery officials said.
"It's just awesome," Williams said. "It's so exciting. We can't even work."
Karen Meyers, a server at the Cook's Corner Cafe, where the daily special was roast beef and potatoes, said she didn't believe it at first when she heard the winning ticket had been sold nearby.
"I think it's wonderful! I hope someone local won it, not someone just passing through," she said. "It's a small town where everyone is really nice."
Kevin Bryan bought his ticket at the Trex Mart and made an extra trip to his mother's home in Dearborn to verify that the ticket he left on her counter wasn't, in fact, the winner.
"When I heard it was sold here in Dearborn I about fell over," Bryan said, as he hung Christmas lights outside his mother's home.
He said the only other local lottery win he could remember was when an area farmer won about $100,000 in scratch-off game years ago "and bought himself a combine."
The winning ticket sold in Arizona was purchased at a 4 Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills near Phoenix, state lottery officials said. Customers poured into the store, to check their tickets and share in the big moment.
"I think it's crazy, and I also think it's great," said Bob Chebat, who manages the 4 Sons. "I'm glad that all that work yesterday wasn't for nothing."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale has one last chance to pick up points in the ECAC Hockey standings before the start of Winter break, as the Bulldogs host Brown Thursday at Ingalls Rink (7:00 p.m.; GameTracker, free live video via Yale All*Access). The Bulldogs and Bears are currently tied for eighth in the standings with Princeton. The game also marks the start of the Yale Athletics Department's "Toys for Tots" drive. After Thursday Yale will not play again for 26 days.
The Yale-Brown Series
Yale is 3-1-1 in its last five games against Brown. The Bulldogs beat the Bears 3-0 in the first game of the series last year, getting a 31-save shutout from sophomore goaltender Jackee Snikeris (Downingtown, Pa.) in Providence. Junior forward Mandi Schwartz (Wilcox, Sask.) had the game-winning goal, and sophomore forward Bray Ketchum (Greenwich, Conn.) had a pair of assists. The Bears then rallied for a 2-2 tie with the Bulldogs in their next meeting, scoring the game-tying goal with an extra attacker with 1:20 left in regulation. Ketchum scored both of Yale's goals.
Snikeris Named ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week
Sophomore Jackee Snikeris (Downingtown, Pa.), who helped Yale to a 4-1 upset of then-No. 4 BU Tuesday and also won the Belliveau Award as the top goaltender at the Nutmeg Classic, has been named ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week. Snikeris stopped 56 of 60 shots (.933) for the week, posting a 1.34 goals-against average. She made 18 saves Tuesday in the upset of BU, then got her fifth career shutout with 17 saves against Quinnipiac in a 2-0 win in the first round of the Nutmeg Classic Friday. She made 21 saves Saturday against UConn in the Nutmeg Classic championship game and won the Belliveau Award as the top goaltender at the tournament, earning the award named after Yale All-American Laurie Belliveau '98.
Scouting Brown
The Bears have senior Nicole Stock, a second team All-ECAC Hockey and second team All-Ivy League selection, in goal. Stock has a .917 save percentage and a 3.35 goals-against average, and her 444 saves are second-most in the conference. Junior forward Andrea Hunter and freshman defenseman Paige Pyett are tied for the team lead in points (3-3-6). Pyett is part of a freshman class that accounts for more than a third of Brown's roster (nine of 26 players). That youth has led to some growing pains, and three of the Bears' last six losses have been by one goal.
Toys for Tots
Thursday's women's ice hockey game marks the start of Yale Athletics' Toys for Tots campaign. Fans who bring a toy to donate to an underprivileged child through Toys for Tots will receive a free general admission ticket. The same offer is available for the men's ice hockey games vs. RPI (Friday, 7:00 p.m.) and Union (Saturday, 7:00 p.m.) this weekend.
Bulldogs Busy Before Break
This is Yale's fourth game in a 10-day span before getting a long break. The Bulldogs will have 26 days off for exams and the holidays before the second half of the season starts Dec. 30 with a game against Providence at Ingalls Rink.
Resor Invited to USA Hockey Holiday Camp
Senior defenseman Helen Resor (Greenwich, Conn.) has been selected to be part of a group of 58 of the nation's top women's ice hockey players that will convene in Blaine, Minn., for USA Hockey's annual Women's Holiday Camp from Dec. 26 to Dec. 31.

* 1 log of Ile de France goat cheese
* 1 egg white or 1 beaten whole egg
* 1 cup of bread crumbs, seasoned with 1 tsp each: fresh
ground pepper, salt, dried basil and garlic powder
* 1 Tbls each: olive oil and butter
* 1 cup field greens
* 2 Tbls of lemon olive oil
* First you will need to form the goat cheese into little rounds. If you let the log warm slightly, then you can slice off a section of the log (about 1 inch thick), and form into the round. Then place in the refrigerator to firm up. Toss the lettuce with the lemon olive oil, set aside.
* Place a pan on the stove on medium hight heat, with 1 tbls butter and 1tbls olive oil. Now place the goat cheese rounds in the egg white (or whole beaten egg) and moisten on both sides. Then push into the bread crumbs on each side. Add to the already warm fry pan. Fry on each side for about 2 minutes, until brown and crispy. Serve immediately on a pinch of the greens.

I know we talk alot about Japanese knife makers, the obvious German power players and the Americans/Canadians throwing out some quality knives, but there has to be some more from around the globe.
Are there any distinguishable makers in South America, Spain, Norway, or Eastern Europe?
Anyone who has been there, lived there, or cooked in different places I would be curious to see what else is out there in terms of steel, shape and craftsmanship. Any standout names? Or better yet, pics?

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A teenage Arab resident of Jerusalem rammed his car into a group of Israeli soldiers in the capital on Monday evening, wounding 15 people.
An Israeli army officer who was with the group shot the driver dead, abruptly ending the attack.
The Jerusalem Post reported that an initial police investigation revealed that the 19-year-old terrorist had wanted to marry his cousin, but when she refused he became despondent and decided to carry out an attack against Israelis.
The attacker was from the same Jerusalem village as the Arab gunman who carried out a brutal shooting at a prominent yeshiva in the capital in March.
Israeli commentators and a growing number of politicians are demanding the immediate demolition of the terrorists family home. Israel has threatened to destroy the homes of three previous Jerusalem terrorists, including the yeshiva shooter, but has yet to do so.

iOS Workflow and Limitations
Posted 04 May 2012 - 10:01 AM
My question is, how much serious work (sermon prep, etc.) can be done with Accordance on an iPad? What do you give up when primarily working with the iOS vs. mac version of Accordance?
Posted 04 May 2012 - 03:17 PM
-"Copy As" options (Copy as References, Copy as Citation, etc.)
-The ability to copy a selection. (You can copy a whole verse, or one word at a time, but not a selection)
-The ability to edit User Tools (User Tools are Read-only on iOS)
-Details Graphs and Tables
If those are central to your study/sermon prep, and you want to do them "on the go," the MacBook Air might be the better option.
Running Accordance on:
Mac 10.11 (El Capitan)
iOS 9 (iPad & iPhone)
Windows 10
[Vista Home Premium before 3/20/2016]

Mark, you made some points that definitely peg the iPad as an "in-between" device; Its portability being a strength and iOS (in some cases) being its weakness. I love having my Accordance library with me on the iPad but other than devotional reading, Accordance on iOS doesn't get much attention. It is my preferred Bible app and the Accordance team has done a great job on it, but it (along with any other Bible app) lacks function and is a bit tedious for in-depth study. This may change as Accordance continues to add improvements.
As for the data entry challenges on the iPad - Do you use a third-party keyboard? I recently purchased the Zagg Folio for my iPad and it increased the utility of my iPad tremendously. I find myself taking the iPad with me more often now that typing is not such a chore. The typing experience is great and the weight and footprint of the folio are acceptable to my standards. Another nice thing about the keyboard is that it helps alleviate some of the cumbersome aspects of switching apps. There are dedicated shortcut keys for the Home and Search button. You can also use these keys to access your recent and active apps, making switching much easier. Also, the new gestures for iPad have made switching apps much faster with the four-finger swipe.
For those of you who prefer the Air I have some questions.
I like the portability and aesthetics of the Air, however, the solid state drives are small and expensive to upgrade. Do you travel with an external HDD?
How often do you find yourself in need of an optical drive? Do you travel with one?
Has the limitation of one USB port been a problem?
I personally need my HDD space and still use an optical drive quite often. With these limitations the Air would itself become an "in-between" device for me.
How do you meet these challenges?

Posted 06 May 2012 - 11:25 PM
My 11" Air has 2 USB ports not one. When I use it with my desktop monitor, I attach a powered USB hub for the necessary peripherals. No problems with ports at all.
As for the on-board storage, I have the 128GB model and have not found it to be a problem. I currently have about 40GB free. I don't keep my music or picture library on my Air. Those items are kept in cloud storage such as Dropbox, iCloud, etc. or mostly on the 2TB hard drive on my personal network. I have about 9GB in applications, not counting data files such as Accordance modules - those likely require most of the space on my Air.
If you require tons of large files (such as music or pictures) then you may want an external drive. I think it requires a bit of a different way of thinking with an Air. I don't have everything I own on it. Just the items I use and am working on. Any other items can be accessed from cloud storage or if necessary an external drive.
For me the iPad is not ready for serious work yet. The apps and keyboard are not quite up to the best of usability standards. The iPad is fine for surfing the web and checking email. The Air, however, can handle anything thrown at it.
If you want a desktop type computer in an extremely small, light and very portable package, you can't go wrong with the Air.
I have never regretted for a minute getting my Air. . . . well except for not getting it sooner.

Thank you for the replies and the correction about the usb ports.
...some very good points to consider.
I think it requires a bit of a different way of thinking with an Air.
Yes, that makes good sense. I believe Apple is shepherding us in that direction, also.

Its as if we are still cave men sitting on the edge of the ocean too afraid to build ourselves a raft even though we've been using rafts for travel along the rivers for as long as the older of us can remember.
Good grief, what is it with Slashdot and making analogies that completely miss the point.
Yes, we have built rafts before. However, apart from prestige and long term science the immediate return on investment was rather low. Since at the moment our supplies of food are depleted and the women in the cave
Since at the moment our supplies of food are depleted and the women in the cave are complaining about the children crying all the time because they're hungry, it might not be a bad idea for the cavemen to invest their time hunting for food and postpone the building of the next raft till after the next migration season, when the cave is full of food again.
If you wait until you have no problems before you start investing in the future, you'll never invest, because there will always be problems.
Life finds a way, ladies and gents.
We don't know that. We know that once life gets going it seems to be very resilient and manages to find a lot of different environments to colonize. But we don't know how easy it is for life to start. If life starting is really difficult, then it may be that Titan and Mars are completely barren. What this sort of thing does mean is that if there ever was life on Mars, there's a decent chance that there's still some.
it strikes me that far from being the sterile lifeless environments that other non-earth planets are assumed to be, that in fact every planet is likely riddled with life in some form, at a microscopic level at the very least. To assume otherwise is perhaps simply subscribing to that eternal 'truth' that humans believe that they are somehow special in the universe. The ancient greeks, as wise as they were, once believed the earth to be at the very centre of things.
One human may be special to another, but in

It might be difficult to prove that any organisms found elsewhere in the solar system aren't at least distantly related to those on Earth. The solar system being as old as it is, it's entirely possible that over the last three and half billion years or so micro-organisms have traveled between the planets. Deep analysis of their DNA won't necessarily be conclusive, if the organisms were transported between the planetary bodies say three b

To answer your question:
"I'll go with 'What is Panspermia [wikipedia.org]' for two hundred, Alex?"
The first known mention of the term was in the writings of the 5th century BC Greek philosopher Anaxagoras.[1] In the nineteenth century it was again revived in modern form by several scientists, including Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1834),[2] Kelvin (1871),[3] Hermann von Helmholtz (1879) and, somewhat later, by Svante Arrhenius (1903).Hypothesis

Thereby creating habitat for endangered anaerobic organisms.
Organisms on Earth which live in extreme environments probably evolved from related species which live in less extreme environments. I have no doubt that there are Terrestrial organisms which could survive in certain environments on Mars, but if they have counterparts on Mars, where did they come from? If they evolved on Mars, there has to have been an environment in which such evolution could have taken place over some kind of condition gradient, from less hostile to more hostile. If they came from Earth, you need a hell of a story about how they got there -- not only are meteor strike ejecta a lot less likely to make it from Earth to Mars than the reverse, you have to envision one piece of rock that just happened to be carrying a viable population of (already rare, even here on Earth) extremophiles that were suited for certain (also very rare) Martian conditions, and landed in just the right place.
If we can ever confirm that Mars had a more life-friendly environment for a significant portion of its history, of course, then these objections can be disregarded. But until we have much more evidence of that than we currently do, I'd be very surprised to find native life on Mars. It's much more likely that if anything is living there, it was carried there by probes from Earth -- and even that seems like a one in a million shot.
About 300kg of rocks make their way from Earth to Mars every year. The reverse is more, about 500kg. The total of "hospitable" rocks that might harbor stowaway life for an Earth to Mars transit is about 150kg/year [tpg.com.au]. So, you see, we're constantly seeding life on Mars.
Interesting link, thanks! And I really hadn't realized that much stuff made it from here to there.
The question is, out of all that, how likely is it that an extremophile suitable for Martian conditions would be one of the passengers, and would land in a hospitable environment on Mars? The link doesn't address that directly, just noting that the Terrestrial organisms would have a good shot if they landed on Mars in a warmer, wetter age -- the problem there being that we don't know if there ever was such a time in Mars' history, or if so, if it lasted long enough to be significant on evolutionary timescales.
Again: extremophiles and the conditions in which they live, are almost by definition rare here on Earth. And conditions suitable for any Terrestrial life are obviously even rarer on Mars, and quite possibly always have been. I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it seems like awfully long odds.
Not very likely, but when we're talking about timescales of billions of years, that changes the odds somewhat
In addition, we *know* that Mars once had enormous oceans of water, probably at a time when the Earth was fairly hospitable to life as well. Given a few hundreds of millions of years of material transfer, it's pretty likely that there was some transference of biologicals, and that some of them found conducive environments on both planets. Remember that many of the extremophiles
we *know* that Mars once had enormous oceans of water
This is news to me. Would you have a link to a credible source talking about this?
(here, 'constantly' means 'in sporadic bursts spaced ~5million years apart')
Even on a cosmic timescale, that isn't very often. The earth is about 4.5 billion years old, no? Life on earth is, what, 3.5 billion years old (at least these are the earliest fossils we can find)?
So if this happens once every 5 million years, that is still only 1000 times that we have traded rocks with Mars.
That's a lot, but if you're talking about the chances of those rocks containing some absurdly rare strain of bacteria that can exist in an environment very much unlike that of the majority of this pla
Who said it was absurdly rare? Go pick up any rock, give it to a skilled microbiologist, you're almost guaranteed they'll find bacteria living inside it.
that can exist in an environment very much unlike that of the majority of this planet
The inside of a meteorite is much the same anywhere in the solar system.. that's the point.. the bacteria are bringing their environment with them. The inside of rocks on Mars is much the same as the inside of rocks on Earth, too.
Gack, that should say "that is sill less than 1000 times".
There's been an incredible number of papers on the subject, and the overall conclusion is that lithoautotrophic extremophiles most likely do survive the trip. Your objection to the timescales involved is anthropomorphic thinking. On geological timescales the exchange of meteorites between Earth and Mars is constant, and so yes, we are constantly seeding life to Mars.
Glad you asked, cause I love educating random people on Slashdot who can't even be bothered clicking on the links I supply to them, or do their own research.
There's a whole class of bacteria that live inside rocks, they're called lithoautotrophic extremophiles. They suffer through extreme heat and pressures all the time. They have existed for billions of years. When a meteorite impacts the Earth a certain number of these fertile rocks are sent skyward.. the bacteria are protected from the radiation of space by the mass of the rock. Some portion of these rocks are captured by Mars and some even smaller portion are carried to the surface as meteorites. It's a big numbers game.
The speculation is that maybe these extremophiles are now making a living on the Mars service.. bacteria moving from one rock to another isn't that big a stretch of the imagination. Some of them may even make the return trip.
Do you realize what you are writing?
You tell us that *every year*, we are impacted by meteoroids so gigantic that the blast sends tons of rock into space.
I'd find humiliating to even ask you where were last year's impacts.
Slashdot looks more and more like the worst sides of Wikipedia: this guy must be right, since he points to an existing url, even if its affirmation is pathetic. Let's mod him interesting.

... and the worst is, I do trust that this transfer is valid, and probably along with bacterias, on the million-year average.
I would buy this rock-transfer-spawning-life theory for the solar system (while not at all for life coming from elsewhere, in which case the probability just turns so ridiculous it's just a way to refuse thinking about the origins of life).
What really turns me sad, is how we can tear true points into pathetically wrong affirmations.

By comparison to Mars, yes, it was. Oh, we wouldn't find it comfortable, of course, but our distant ancestors did -- and there's no evidence that it was "extreme" in the sense that we now talk about such environments. Lots of not-too-briny water (much less salt in the oceans then than now, I'm pretty sure) and a dense atmosphere, even if the composition was very different from the modern one; also temperatures roughly in the range we now consider conducive to life. Except for isolated spots, Mars is just

Retailers are hoping this Boxing Day will better last year's flat performance.
In Bourke Street, the big department stores opened their doors at 5am followed by other retailers at 8am.
At Swarovski, there was a 15 minute in-store limit for customers wanting to make purchases.
Thao Nguyen, from Docklands, started her shopping at 8am and was in line at Swarovski and waiting to go in at 9am.
"I haven't had to wait before, but I'm happy to wait today because there are a few things I want to get as presents," she said.
At David Jones, over one million mens' business shirts and 115,000 pairs of women's shoes are expected to be snapped up. Towels [250,000], handbags [30,000] and sunglasses [23,000] are also among the popular items.
For mother and daughter pair Cathie Smith and Emma Stanislas, the Boxing Day outing was a day of two halves. The morning was dedicated to snapping up bulky items at the department stores, while the men minded Emma's two-year-old. Then, in the afternoon, when the men went to the cricket, and the two-year-old to the shops, it was about smaller purchases.
Shopping with a child had increased the appeal of online shopping for Emma.
"It's a lot easier to concentrate when shopping online when you've got a small child," she said.
"But, at the same time, you don't get to look and touch things and, also, run the risk of having to return things if they're not right."
Victorians are expected to out-spend their state and territory counterparts with the Australian National Retailers Association tipping $588 million will be spent in the state on Boxing Day.

WILMINGTON - Fly-fishing enthusiasts from throughout New York state will be in town this weekend for the 13th annual AuSable River Two-Fly Challenge.
And it appears conditions will be pretty good this weekend - temperatures are forecast to be in the 60s and 70s - after what has been a strange spring weather wise. Ice-out in the region came in late March, followed by low water levels due to a lack of precipitation. Those conditions allowed some good early season fishing opportunities but they threatened to derail the fishing season if they continued in the long term.
But in true Adirondack fashion, winter returned, hastening the chance for any continuing warm weather spells.

A fisherman takes part in last year's Two-Fly Challenge along the AuSable River. This year's Two-Fly takes place Friday and Saturday.
"It's been an unusual spring," Hungry Trout Resort owner Jerry Bottcher said. "We almost had ... May conditions in March. But that abated with the snow and cold that came in, and set everything back to a normal condition, which was perfect. Right now, the river is full. The water temperature is still lingering around the 50 to 52 degree temperature. It's probably going to be a little cooler than perfect."
As far as hatches on the river, Bottcher said he's recently seen a lot of Hendrickson Mayflies downriver from his business off state Route 86. His son, Evan Bottcher, who is running the Two-Fly Fly Shop at the Hungry Trout this year, has consistently been on the water this spring. He's seen a lot of Hendricksons, march browns and caddis flies.
"Your kind of standard late May Mayflies, because of the early season, are kind of in full swing even though it's the second week of the month," Evan Bottcher said. "Everything's a little bit early, although not too early to were it was a negative effect."
Fact Box
For more information on the fly-fishing event or dinner, contact the Visitors Bureau at 518-946-2255. Registrations will run from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Friday.
The Two-Fly Challenge starts on Friday night with the fly tyers reception on Friday at Steinhoff's Sportsmans Inn from 7 to 9 p.m. There will be about a half dozen fly tyers on hand to display their skills and discuss their techniques with the public.
On Saturday, anglers will hit the water for a full day of fly fishing, during which they will be only allowed to use two flies to land their fish. The winners will be determined by size of the fish. Because this is a catch and release contest, no fish will be brought to a weighing station. Instead the fishermen will be asked to simply report the size of their catches to judges.
Saturday evening, there will be a dinner for the sportsmen at the Hungry Trout restaurant, highlighted by a presentation from Ray Brook fishing guide Joe Hackett, who is also an outdoors columnist for the Lake Placid News and Adirondack Daily Enterprise.
Hackett will tell stories and talk about why "outdoor manner's matter" and the importance of fishing at a slower, relaxed pace. He said sometimes people today forget to leave behind the fast pace of everyday life when they hit the fishing holes and that it's important to do so. He'll also talk about mentoring.
"I learned (my fishing ethics) from a grumpy old man with a crumpled hat and a bamboo rod," Hackett said.
Now he's the one passing on that "old time" knowledge.
So far, it looks like Hackett will have a good crowd on hand to listen. Michelle Burns of the Whiteface Region Visitor's Bureau, said there are about 90 people signed up to attend. That's about the norm, she said.
"This may be some of the two fly conditions we've had in years," said Evan Bottcher. "Last year, the river was maybe the highest it's been for the Two-Fly. This year, anglers are going to be quite happy to see the condition of the river being much more manageable to wade and to fish, with very good insect activity."
River lure
What is the lure of this fabled AuSable? According to three gentlemen in Wilmington, it turns out that the answer is so simple. It is the river itself.
Tom Roginski from Harvard, Mass. has a camp in the area has been coming up since 1975 and has fished here all that time, and he has fished a lot of the rivers on the East Coast.
"The topography of (the West Branch) and the flow rates are significantly different than downstate rivers," he said. "Within a 20 mile stretch, you can have a guide take you to the exact type of water that you would like to fish."
Local guide, fly tier and fishing poet, David "Brookie" Brookman said he thought part of the reason was that "There is definitely a tradition that has been established over the years."
Tom Conway, who owns and operates the AuSable River Two Fly Shop in Wilmington, had similar thoughts.
"It's like bringing your kids and grandchildren to Santa's Workshop over the years, so is the practice of bringing the next generations to fish on the AuSable," Conway said. "The guys that are still alive are still coming, and if they have kids that are into fishing, they are raising them up on this river as well."
Brookman added a reason that is also the reason many people of all disciplines and hobbies come to this area.
"It's not just catching that fish, but with the beautiful scenery, it's the whole picture, and we're very fortunate here in Wilmington and this area to have such a beautiful river," he said.
The trio agreed that the West Branch's stretches are so different from what some of the visiting fisherpeople are used to.
"They're used to fishing with smaller gravel rocks along runs, you know ripples and runs and pools," Conway said. "This river offers more variety in that sense."
For more information on the fly-fishing event or dinner, contact the Visitors Bureau at 518-946-2255. Registrations will run from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Friday.

Last week, Brink developer Splash Damage issued a patch for the Xbox 360 version, which changed some configuration settings. Namely, it set Campaign and Freeplay modes to 8 players, but still allows 8v8 maps with the "Big Teams" option. Now the company has updated its patch post, saying that the same fixes have come to PS3 thanks to the PSN restoration.
If you want to know if your system has gotten the update, look for a "Big Teams" option in the public match settings. If it's there, you're covered.
Paired with the patch, the company announced that the first downloadable content will be free on all platforms when it comes out in June. Splash Damage had also previously promised an investigation into the lag issues on 360, and said it will "closely monitor" the PS3 version once PSN was restored.
The day-one patch and configuration patch should both be live now for PS3 players, so try it out and let Bethesda know if you run into any problems. Bug squashing is a community effort.

I was having a mental conversation with myself this morning, contemplating how to teach Joseph Campbell's writing style to my students. The trajectory of my thoughts led me to the almost-cliché Hero's Journey. In The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell images the Journey thusly:
One key point of the Hero's Journey is that it is a circle. The Hero leaves, the Hero must return. If the Hero fails to return, then someone needs to go in and bring him/her home. The Hero must return and share the boon. Sure, there are exceptions. But that's a different conversation.
The Journey is also linked with Jung's process of Individuation. In the process of becoming a whole in-divid-ual, Jung tells us that we need to descend into the unconscious, return, and repeat the process as often as necessary. Jung's process is associated by "old school" Jungians as aimed for the second half of life, but I don't buy that for one second.
Hero's Journey, circular, continuous… Point made? Good. So, here's where my thoughts were going.
In our current phase of epic literature ["literature" includes film, television, and any other "text" within myth/popular culture], our epics are episodic. Historic epics, such as The Odyssey and Moby-Dick (a nod to my Epic professor, Dennis Slattery), have episodes built into the larger Hero Journey of the character, but are themselves not episodic. By episodic, let's consider Harry Potter.
Harry has a single journey that spans all seven volumes—to defeat Voldemort and rid the wizarding world of an evil. This single journey's latent meaning involves breaking his bond with Voldemort, and individuating, moving beyond the Boy Who Lived and to become Harry.
Each volume of the series is itself a complete Hero Journey. In the first book, his Journey is to rescue the Sorcerer's Stone, the second is to rescue Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets, etc. Each journey brings him ever closer to the ultimate boon battle with Voldemort.
The limitations of words on this blog make the image I'm trying to convey a little difficult, but work with me here. The Little Hero's Journeys build upon each other and culminate in the Big Hero's Journey. Kind of like a spiral, with the first story being at the top moving down:
Though I'd prefer to imagine it the other way around, moving from narrow bottom up, but I couldn't find a suitable image.
This new kind of Epic Hero's Journey is nicely situated for integrating Campbell's Monomyth with Jung's Individuation. It's a process. With each level, we gain experience and magical helpers that give us the strength to ultimately face that Bad Guy at the end of the game. (A notable exception is Epic Mickey. Again, something for another day.) We can see this Epic Monomyth at play in many different myth outlets these days, of which Harry Potter is only one voice. Others that immediately come to mind include Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, The Hunger Games, and Star Wars.
And seeing the Hero's Journey in this way makes it a better roadmap for our lives. Imagine what our world would look like if we imagined progress as a spiral and not as a linear evolution?
