Web Site:
Linguistic Field(s): Semantics; Syntax
Call Deadline: 23-Mar-2007
Meeting Description:
The general aim of the workshop 'Quantifiers and Modification' is to bring
together researchers of different fields (syntax, semantics, logic) and
thereby deepen our understanding of the role of modification in the diverse
landscape of natural language expressions of quantity.
Extended call for papers
Quantifier Modification
is organised as part of
the European Summer School on
Logic, Language and Information
6 - 17 August, 2007 in Dublin
Workshop Organisers:
Rick Nouwen (rick.nouwen
Jakub Dotlacil (jakub.dotlacil
Theme Description:
From the eighties onwards, logicians and linguists have studied the properties
of quantifying expressions by assigning them generalised quantifier meanings.
While this line of research has been successful in
isolating formal generalisations about the expression of quantity, it has
ignored the internal composition of complex quantifiers.
Recently, the modificational structures within complex quantifiers have
gained a fair amount of attention, mostly thanks to studies of a.o.
modified numerals, negative and negated quantifiers, focus-sensitive
operators, approximatives and except phrases. These studies yield a richer
analysis of natural language quantifiers than was possible given the coarse
level of generalisation of Generalised Quantifier Theory. Additionally,
these studies shed light on the cross-categorial application of some modifiers.
Workshop Topics:
The theme of the workshop brings up questions like the following:
- Is it tenable to retain a single analysis for any modifier? Or should its
use within the domain of quantifiers be seen as separate?
- What are the restrictions on the combinations of quantifiers and
modifiers and what is the nature (semantic, syntactic or other) of these
- Is there cross-linguistic variation w.r.t. these restrictions?
- What is the categorial status of a modified quantifier?
- How do the formal properties of modifiers relate to the formal results
familiar from generalised quantifier theory?

My 18X18X1 was $12 and some change.
16x 16 x 3/4 shipped to Maryland was about $41 or $42 total cost.
It did, but I still think its a decent deal and it arrived in one piece. It is a much better stone than the one my wife got from william sonoma for 50% more.
I love my W&S stone, if the Axner is that much better, I gotta have one! When I bought my W&S stone they came with a lifetime replacement warranty should it ever crack, don't know if they or anyone else still offers that.
Thanks, everyone.So, between the packing fee and shipping, the price basically doubled. Hmmm...
I paid $47 for 2 round 5/8 16" cordierite stoneshipping was free as it was within Florida.The packing was very good, tightly packed in bubble wrap and double cardboard.

Favors smoke-free casinos
To the editor:
I am a longtime Republican conservative and business owner here in Illinois. I can vouch that not only has our 5-year-old Smoke Free Air Law been good for businesses, but also it has been good for casino business and good for the health of the casino employees. The time has come for Iowa to do the right thing and eliminate smoking in the casinos.

Obama Wants to Ease Mortgage Credit, But He Can't Say How
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- President Barack Obama renewed his push for easier refinancing options for borrowers and highlighted the need for easier access to mortgage credit in his State of the Union address Tuesday.
But he was vague on what policy measures will be used to ease credit conditions.
Compared to his speech last year , housing got a relatively small mention this time around. Perhaps it is because a recovery in home prices has made housing a less urgent issue for Congress .
"The good news is, our housing market is finally healing from the collapse of 2007. Home prices are rising at the fastest pace in six years. Home purchases are up nearly 50%. And construction is expanding again," Obama said in his speech.
Still, he said tight mortgage credit conditions and the inability of many families who are current on their payments to refinance was holding back the economy.
"We need to fix it," he said. "Right now, there's a bill in this Congress that would give every responsible homeowner in America the chance to save $3,000 a year by refinancing at today's rates. Democrats and Republicans have supported it before. So what are we waiting for? Take a vote and send me that bill. Why would that be a partisan issue, helping folks refinance?"
It is not entirely clear what bill Obama was referring to as there is more than one refinancing plan currently in Congress awaiting approval.
Earlier this week, Senators Bob Menendez (D, N.J.) and Barbara Boxer (D, Calif.) reintroduced legislation aimed at removing barriers that prevent borrowers with government-backed loans from getting the lowest possible interest rates.
The Responsible Homeowners Act of 2013 aims at improving upon the government's current Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) by eliminating appraisal costs, reducing upfront fees on refinances, ensuring consistent standards for all lenders and providing equal access to refinancing options to all borrowers.
That plan was first introduced last year but failed to win approval in Congress. Analysts expect the bill to pass in the Senate but face resistance in the Republican-controlled House. Read more on that plan here .
But what Obama is likely referring to is the "Universal Refinancing" plan he mentioned in his State of the Union address last year.
That plan proposed to allow borrowers with standard non-government-backed mortgages, including those who were underwater, to refinance at lower rates via the Federal Housing Administration. The administration calculated that the plan would save borrowers $3,000 annually.
But the proposal was widely declared as "dead on arrival," because the White House wanted it to be funded through a small tax on banks, which Republicans strongly opposed.
Given the financial woes at the FHA -- the agency in November said it had a more than $16 billion shortfall in its reserves -- most analysts believe the proposal still has little chance of passing.

When I watched the "Alphas" pilot last summer, I wasn't particularly impressed, but I felt the premise was decent: a group of superheroes (called Alphas) fighting super-villains. As the show's first season progressed, I wasn't blown away by its steady improvement — more pleased the show became something more than just superheroes doing supernatural stuff.
The general foundation of "Alphas" — the federal government (secretly) employs a ragtag group of Alphas led by Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) to solve various crimes committed by other, bad Alphas — is a fine way to move plot forward, but the character stuff is what brings you into the series.
In a nice twist on the superhero genre, the basis for Alphas' abilities simply involves advanced brain structure — more believable than radioactive spider bites, gamma rays, etc. — also allowed the series to create real-life characters. "Alphas" excelled as a character-driven drama. Viewers became invested in the human elements of the superhuman Alpha team.
The entire Alpha team is mostly well-written and well-acted, but Gary (Ryan Cartwright) — an autistic guy who can read electromagnetic wavelengths and hack into phones, computers and TV broadcasts — is especially interesting. His relationship with everyone, especially Bill (Malik Yoba), is fun, sad and uplifting.
The second-season premiere builds off last season's cliffhanger — Dr. Rosen and Gary broadcast the existence of Alphas to the public — with an entertaining story. You could jump in even if you missed the first season, but you'd miss getting to know these weird, flawed and well-rounded super-characters.

Show business makeup artists and professionals love Wet Make-Up for its excellent hold under even the hottest stage lights. This multi-purpose product has a compact, oil-free, non-irritating glycerin-based texture, allowing you to easily blend and shade the colors. Wet Make-Up is ideal for flat areas and is also suitable for all styles of body and face painting. It is also economical - only a small quantity is need to makeup large areas.
Dampen your brush or sponge, pick up a small amount of Aquarelle and apply it to an oil-free, dry skin. Choose the width of your brush depending on the surface you need to cover. Apply several layers to intensify the color. The Wet Make-Up can be easily removed with either lukewarm water and mild soap or the Cleansing Milk.You can draw a pattern on a dry, already made up surface using the Wet Make-Up, Aquarelle or Color Cream. Use some Star Powder over the Wet Make-Up once it has dried to add more shine to your designs. Wet Make-Up is excellent for special effects and can be applied on latex, foam latex appliances and bald caps.Its compact, highly pigmented texture dilutes in water and can be used to quickly cover large surfaces of skin with very little product.It can also be used to create very realistic body and face painting designs and extreme blends.Its application and the results achieved are comparable to the work of painters (gouache, watercolors), making it a must-have for body painting. Non-irritating, it can be applied to all areas of the face, which makes it the perfect makeup for children. Compact, this product is practical and economical. Though not waterproof, it remains stable on the skin. It is recommended for use in stage makeup and "living tableaux".It can be made waterproof on small surfaces by moistening it with the Aqua Seal. It can be colored by mixing it with some Liquid Latex and can also be used on dry Latex to apply makeup to bald caps and prosthetics.

Hi, my name is Cathrine. I'm 25 years old and initially from Sweden, undertaking my master studies in business at USC. I spent my first semester at campus and now wants to explore other types of accommodation. I like to keep it clean and tidy and prefer to live with likeminded people. I'm not a party animal and consider personal space to be important as well as respecting others. However, I'm very sociable and would love to live with people who'd enjoy a movie, day at the beach or drink together once in a while. Overall, I'm really easygoing. I enjoy a healthy lifestyle and when not being busy studying, I like to work out, hang out with friends and spend time outdoors. Furthermore, I love animals, so if my potential flatmates have pets I'm all open for it. I'm back in Sweden now during Christmas so the easiest communication for the moment would be through messages on flatmates.com. Furthermore, the ideal would be to find a place in the beginning of February but there's some flexibility with the dates if necessary. I'm interested in a length of stay for about 6 months or more if things work out great between us :)

Topic: Deply with Mongrel or fastcgi?
Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to setup a production server for a Rails app?
My current thinking is to use Mongrel with Apache 2.2 mod_proxy_balancer. If using this method how many mongrel instances should you start? 2? If using this method, can you install more than one app on a server?
AFAIK, using fastcgi allows multiple applications on a server and this is what I'm using to develop the app and it seems fast enough - but I'm the only one using it and its important the apps run fast (obviously).
Any thoughts welcome

USAV to Sanction Collegiate Sand Tourneys
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 16, 2012) – USA Volleyball will sanction the 2012 events of the National Collegiate Sand Volleyball Association (NCSVA).
The NCSVA, founded by beach volleyball World Champion and Olympian Sinjin Smith, is the only annual national collegiate sand volleyball championship to bring together the best men's and women's players from local and regional tournaments to compete for the title of National Collegiate Open Beach Volleyball Champions.
"This is a great opportunity for any male or female college sand volleyball players from any college around the country to compete against their peers," Smith said.
"This is the sixth year of the Championships and we expect students from more than 200 colleges to take part in all the events. There is no question that our next superstars in beach volleyball will come from these events and they will ultimately represent the United States in the future Olympic Games."
Players who compete in NCSVA events will receive a USA Volleyball national ranking.
"NCSVA is a significant initiative and critical to our beach athlete development pipeline," said Dave Williams, managing director for USA Beach Volleyball. "For collegiate beach volleyball athletes who aspire to play professionally or internationally, this is an excellent place to start.
The NCSVA is scheduled to have 25 regional events, including eight regional championships, in 2012. The winners of the regional championships will be flown to the national championship in July in Long Beach, Calif.
The NCSVA web site is NCSVA.com.

About the Author: Tom Weinz serves as the dedicated Foreign Service Liaison Officer for Pacific Partnership 2010.
Last year, during our Pacific Partnership mission to Samoa, Pacific Partnership 2009 celebrated the Fourth of July at the gracious Robert Louis Stevenson mansion/museum in Apia. Pacific Partnership 2010 is currently about to arrive in Singapore, where we will say goodbye to about 250 of the personnel who have completed the first half of the mission, and welcome approximately the same number of replacements to carry on the mission to Indonesia and Timor Leste. Both departures and new arrivals will be in Singapore for the festivities, since the Fourth of July celebrations will be held on Saturday, the third (the custom of the American Association of Singapore is to celebrate the Fourth on the closest Saturday to the actual date, since the exact date is usually a work day).
Many Americans might be surprised to hear what a popular celebration the Fourth of July is with non-Americans around the world. Hotdogs, hamburgers, mustard, ketchup (not "catsup" please!), potato salad, and chips -- these are real American food, at least in the minds of millions of Fourth of July groupies around the globe.
The American Association of Singapore was founded in 1917. Over the years, it has developed a reputation for memorable Fourth of July celebrations that attract thousands of people. Admission is free, open to all, and classic fireworks displays are featured. Musical performances run from Mid-Life Crisis, a local group, to the U.S. Navy band traveling on Mercy. Kids take part in traditional local games, or learn to make ethnic souvenirs, Chinese knots, Malay ketupats (a kind of rice dumpling wrapped in a woven palm leaf pouch) or Indian flower wrist garlands. What could be more American than a Harley -- Davidson tent, where the whole family can be photographed on a "hog." Or, for that matter, the Cargill tent, that hosts underprivileged children and adults to share in the joy and celebration of the Fourth of July. And what could be more fitting than to celebrate our country's independence with foreign friends in the middle of a humanitarian mission where we share our country's blessings with others.
You can trace the Mercy's journey from its initial announcement to preparations for launch, setting sail, arrival in Vietnam, work in Vietnam, farewell to Vietnam, arrival in Cambodia, and community outreach in Cambodia.

Treasurer highest-paid Johnstown employee
JOHNSTOWN – Treasurer Michael Gifford was city government's top earner in 2012, making $75,292.
His income surpassed that of city firefighters and police officers, who often receive overtime pay.
Gifford received no additional pay for overtime hours, city documents show.
"Generally speaking, the police chief, fire chief and treasurer are all kind of in the same ballpark," Gifford said. "Historically, the city engineer was up there as well, but we have a new engineer, so that is why that position is lower at the moment."
The second-highest earner in Johnstown government last year was Police Chief Mark Gifford, who received $72,917. Fire Chief Bruce Heberer came in third with $72,678.
Police Department salaries totaled $1.38 million, including $70,515 from overtime pay.
Police Sgt. Christopher Stevens made the most money in the department next to the chief last year, earning $64,894. A total of $9,842 of that amount came from overtime pay.
Gifford said the Police Department union members are still paid at 2009 rates because they don't have a new contract yet.
"I suspect when a contract is actually reached, you will see them earning more than they did this year [in 2012]," Gifford said.
Fire Department salaries totaled $1.37 million. A total of $22,576 came from overtime pay.
Thomas Maye, a retired firefighter, made $27,262 last year because of a retired supplemental disability benefit.
Maye was hired on July 21, 1990, serving as a firefighter until he had a career-ending injury during a Dec. 12, 2006, fire. He retired Aug. 2, 2008.
Gifford said Maye retired under a disability retirement plan known as the Performance of Duty Disability Plan, which requires the city to supplement his retirement pay.
"Every year, we have to look at what a top-level firefighter makes, and from that, we subtract the retirement benefits, and then we are obligated by law to pay him the difference directly from the city," Gifford said. "It is actually something that we run into rarely here, but some of the bigger cities, from what I understand, have a number of those things."
Gifford said the city's responsibility to pay the difference will end when Maye reaches "Retirement Day," or the age a firefighter is expected to retire.
Gifford said city employees can receive buyouts for unused vacation and holiday time at the end of the year, but they do not receive sick-day buyouts upon retirement or during the regular calendar year.
Police Chief Gifford's $72,917 salary for 2012 was less than Gloversville Police Chief Donald VanDeusen's salary, which was $87,563.
Johnstown Fire Chief Heberer's salary of $72,678 was less than Gloversville Fire Chief Beth Whitman-Putnam's salary of $78,949.
Gloversville has a higher population than Johnstown, which could be a factor in the difference in pay.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau estimates, in 2011, 15,621 people lived in Gloversville, while 8,718 lived in the city of Johnstown.
Some of the other top earners in Johnstown in 2012 included: Assistant Fire Chief Michael Heberer, $66,962; Assistant Fire Chief Jeffrey Kollar, $66,873; Assistant Fire Chief John Duesler, $66,873; Assistant Fire Chief Donald Biron, $66,784; Police Lt. David Gilbo, $65,149; Police Sgt. Christopher Stevens, $64,894; and Police Sgt. Jamie Allen, $63,982.
The earnings listed are gross earnings.

NYPA announces Low-Cost Hydropower Allocations for Multimillion Dollar Expansions by Three Erie County Firms and over 200 new jobs
Michael Saltzman
(914) 390-8181
July 27, 2011
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees has announced the allocations of low-cost hydropower to three Erie County businesses—M&T Bank Corp., Moog, Inc., and Try-It Distributing Co., a beverage wholesaler—in return for their creation of 217 jobs from expected capital investments of nearly $79 million in facilities in Amherst, Elma and Lancaster, respectively.
At its regularly scheduled July meeting on Tuesday, the NYPA board approved allocations totaling 3,500 kilowatts (kW) from the Niagara Power Project for the planned expansions by the three companies. The allocations will be drawn from a block of electricity known as Expansion Power—one of two large amounts of Niagara power set aside under New York State law for job- creating businesses on the Niagara Frontier.
"The Power Authority is making steady progress under Governor Cuomo's leadership in maximizing the available power from the Niagara project for expanding Western New York's job base and putting people to work," said Richard M. Kessel, NYPA president and chief executive officer. "The power from the hydroelectric project is among the lowest cost in the country, making it an effective catalyst for capital investments by businesses and for job growth, especially during economic hard times. The power allocations to M&T, Moog and Try-It Distributing are part of the comprehensive efforts to inject vitality in the region's economy."
M&T Bank received an allocation of 3,000 kW in connection with its plans to purchase a building on Park Club Lane in the Town of Amherst that was previously operated as a data center by HSBC. M&T would upgrade the-more-than 59,000-square-foot building for it to serve as its primary data center. The company would relocate its current data center operations, also in Amherst, to the new facility, with the existing facility, on Commerce Drive, refurbished for additional office space and other potential uses by the bank.
M&T, which has more than 4,900 employees in Western New York, including more than 1,300 in Amherst, would invest approximately $51.62 million over five years in the overall data center initiative and create 124 new jobs.
The new Amherst facility will include new computer equipment for expanding technology infrastructure in support of M&T operations and product lines in the U.S. and abroad. The company had considered Delaware for the expanded data center project and locations in Maryland and Virginia where it also has business operations.
"As one of Western New York's largest employers, M&T brings much to the region's economy, in wages, purchases of goods and services, tax revenues and other benefits," said Sen. Michael H. Ranzenhofer. "The company's continued growth in Amherst through the investment in a new data center, and the jobs it will bring, is a positive development for our community. We're most appreciative of the support being provided for this worthwhile initiative by Governor Cuomo and the Power Authority."
In addition to the low-cost Niagara hydropower, the Amherst Industrial Development Agency is considering tax abatement incentives for the new data center.
Moog, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of precision motion controls for aerospace, defense, industrial and medical markets, received a hydropower allocation of 300 kW for a planned $13 million headquarters facility at the company's campus in the Town of Elma, on Jamison Road. The firm would add 70 new jobs to a current work force of nearly 2,500 employees there.
The new building will enable various corporate functions across the campus to be relocated into one facility, freeing up space for manufacturing and other operations.
"We're looking forward to Moog's expansion plans and appreciative of New York State's support of this endeavor through additional supplies of low-cost hydropower," said Sen. Patrick M. Gallivan. "Moog is one of the region's most acclaimed companies, with its precision control systems a global leader in the aerospace and defense industries. It's gratifying to see Moog's continued growth in Elma as it further solidifies its commitment to Western New York."
Moog, which benefits from previous hydropower allocations from NYPA, will also receive tax incentives for the expansion through the Erie County Industrial Development Agency.
Try-It Distributing, a family-owned wholesaler of beer and non-alcoholic beverages, was awarded an allocation of 200 kW of hydropower in return for its plans to add 23 new jobs beyond its current employment of 242 in the Town of Lancaster. The company is planning to invest $14 million for the construction of an addition to its office and warehouse operation to accommodate the business's growth and attract new brands for distribution.
Much of the 106,000 square-feet of the new facility's space would be for warehousing, containing climate-control equipment for meeting exacting standards of beverage product manufacturers.
"For beverage wholesalers, warehousing typically consumes significant amounts of energy for lighting, refrigeration and other related electricity-powered equipment," said Assemblyman Robin Schimminger. "The allocation of Niagara hydropower to Try-It Distributing will help underpin the company's cost control, serving as a critical factor in growing the business and keeping it competitive. I want to extend my sincere thanks to Governor Cuomo and the Power Authority for supporting this initiative and helping to ensure the continued success of a long-time and highly valued Erie County employer."
The Lancaster Industrial Development Agency is also supporting Try-It's expansion with tax incentives. The beverage wholesaler is also working with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority on energy-efficient measures for the new warehouse.
NYPA conferred with various New York State and Western New York economic development agencies before making the allocations to M&T, Moog and Try-It Distributing.
Hydropower under the Expansion Power Program and from another large block of Niagara power known as Replacement Power directly supports more than 30,000 Western New York jobs.
Over 120 of the Buffalo-Niagara region's foremost companies benefit from the two hydropower programs. The companies have an annual payroll of more than $2 billion and account for more than 70 percent of the manufacturing jobs in the region.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

Stocks Pare Losses as House Plans to Convene on 'Fiscal Cliff'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks pared losses on plans by the House of Representatives to meet over the weekend to hammer out a proposal to avert the so-called fiscal-cliff deadline of Dec. 31.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each declined by only 0.1% after suffering losses of more than 1% earlier in the day, when Senate leader Harry Reid said Republicans are stalling in finding a solution.
"I don't know time-wise how it can happen now," said Reid, a Democrat, on the Senate floor in Washington. He said House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, both Republicans, are causing a stalemate. "Democrats can't put together a plan on their own because, without participation of Leader McConnell and Speaker Boehner, nothing can happen on the fiscal cliff."
The Senate resumed its work today after breaking for Christmas. Obama has urged Congress to put together an interim plan to ward off tax increases and spending cuts that would be triggered if the debt ceiling isn't raised.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said he will do all he can to create a cushion for lawmakers. After the stock market closed Wednesday, he said in a letter to Reid that the federal government will reach its $16.394 trillion statutory debt limit on Dec. 31.
Geithner said the Treasury is planning "extraordinary measures" to postpone defaulting on $200 billion in bond payments and create some "headroom" for Washington beyond New Year's Day.
The president now has four days before the deadline, which prompted the House to convene over the weekend, a rare event. Economists say going off the fiscal cliff could lead to a recession, as growth is sluggish and business owners are cautious about hiring.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 18 points, or 0.1%, to 13,096.31, as of the close at 4 p.m. New York time.
The S&P 500 fell 1.7 points, or 0.1%, to 1,418.10. The Nasdaq dropped 4.3 points, or 0.1%, to 2,985.91.
The economic calendar in the U.S. Thursday includes jobless claims, new-home sales and consumer confidence.
The number of Americans who applied for jobless claims dropped by 12,000 to 350,000 in the week ended Dec. 22, the Labor Department said. Economists forecast 360,000. Some of the claims were estimated because of the Christmas holiday.
In another report, new-home sales rose 4.4% to a 377,000 annual pace after a revised 361,000 in October, the Commerce Department said. That was the most since April 2010, another sign the housing market is rebounding.
Still, U.S. consumer confidence dropped to 65.1 in December from a revised 71.5 last month, according to the Conference Board.
Gold for February delivery was up $4.30 at $1,663.70 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, reversing earlier losses. February crude oil contracts were up 16 cents to $91.14 a barrel.

Pravmir.com, a Russian site, has published an English translation of an interview given by Archpriest Nikolai Chernyshev, who is identified as "the spiritual father of the Solzhenitsyn family during the final years of the writer's life." The interview touches on Aleksandr Solzenitsyn's upbringing in a deeply religious Russian Orthodox family, his encounter with militant atheism ( … he joined neither the Young Pioneers nor the Komsomol [All-Union Leninist Young Communist League]. The Pioneers would tear off his baptismal cross, but he would put it back on every time). Fr. Chernyshev describes the writer's later "period of torturous doubt, of rejection of his childhood faith, and of pain." The priest talks of Solzhenitzyn's return to the faith after his experience in the Gulag and how "he suffered and fretted about the Church being in a repressed state. For him this was open, obvious, naked, and painful." Excerpt from the interview:
Today many people remember the writer's famous "Lenten Letter" to Patriarch Pimen (1972) and say that Solzhenitsyn expected, and even demanded, greater participation by the Church in society. What were his views in this regard at the end of his life?
Fr. Chernyshev: Solzhenitsyn was one of those people who could not remain silent; his voice was always heard. And, of course, he was convinced that the Savior's words Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature should be fulfilled [Mark 16:15]. One of his convictions, his idea, was that the Church, on the one hand, should naturally be separate from the government, but by no means should be separate from society.
He felt that they are quite different, that they are completely opposite things. Its inseparability from society should become more and more manifest. And here he could not but see the encouraging changes of recent years. He joyfully and gratefully took in everything positive taking place in Russia and in the Church – but he was far from complacent, since all of society had become twisted and sick during the years of Soviet rule.

Brooker Creek debate: Old dairy land or useful habitat?
By THERESA BLACKWELL
Published May 21, 2007
Preserve habitats
EAST LAKE - Decades ago, the cows of the old Salls dairy roamed north of Old Keystone Road.
Today the land is part of Pinellas County's Brooker Creek Preserve. The cows are gone, replaced in the 1980s when the county planted tens of thousands of pine trees.
But the bovine heritage of the preserve - especially north of Keystone Road - lately has been a source of contention.
In the debate about whether to create youth sports fields in the preserve, there are two points of view.
On one side, there are some county officials and youth sports advocates who say the northern part of the preserve is not as ecologically pristine as the wetlands south of Keystone Road, so maybe the ballfields wouldn't be so bad.
"It's an old dairy farm, " County Commissioner Susan Latvala said last week.
On the other side are those who say the dairy covered only part of the northern preserve land, which covers 1, 413 acres and includes other natural habitats. Even the planted pines are undergoing a restoration, providing a variety of habitats for native wildlife.
"Anything that is undeveloped is useful habitat, " said Walt Hoskins, chairman of the Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve. "If you leave it alone, nature will use it."
These two perspectives have played key roles in the continuing public debate over the preserve's future, and the County Commission is scheduled to begin the next part of that discussion from 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesday.
But before everyone headed back to the County Courthouse, the Times wanted to see what habitats there are on the northern part of the preserve.
So we invited ourselves out for a hike.
A closer look
Our guide was Lisa Baltus, a Hudson resident who is the preserve's land manager.
Already, it was hot and muggy Thursday morning as Baltus pulled out a map and outlined a route through planted pines, cypress dome wetlands, expansive marsh, pine flatwoods, oak hammocks and prized sandhill terrain.
Florida has only about 2 percent of the undeveloped sandhill it once had. The pockets in the Brooker Creek Preserve are all that remain in Pinellas County.
When you go north of Keystone Road, you find the county's planted pine trees on the western side of the preserve land. To the east is generally undisturbed land.
And the pines are just one of the habitats woven into the tapestry of the northern part of the preserve, according to county staff.
"They are subtle changes from one perspective, " Baltus said. "But they are big changes from an ecological perspective."
From the start of the hike, it wasn't hard to spot the wildlife.
Just yards from the parking lot off Old Keystone Road, a turkey and her chicks ducked into the woods. And in the distance, two deer stepped out of the woods, looked our way and hurried for cover.
"There are a ton of deer up in this north part, " Baltus said.
At a cypress dome wetland, light glistened on backlit ferns. The ground was soft underfoot from the digging of armadillos and squirrels.
That area led to an expansive marsh filled with mock bishop's weed, redroot, rushes, sedges, wax myrtle, Virginia willow, and in the distance, pines, oaks and cypress.
"It's functioning as a good, open, grassy marsh, " Baltus said.
The hike went through natural pine flatwoods and over the crunchy, dry leaves of oak hammocks to a pocket of sandhill. A gopher tortoise burrow was surrounded by gopher apple vines.
"This is like heaven for a gopher tortoise, " Baltus said. "Lots to eat."
Two zebra butterflies ranged over grass and sand, under turkey oak and longleaf pine.
"It's a small pocket, but it's nice, " Baltus said. "It's not all old cow pasture and planted pine."
Mapping parcels
As part of the larger debate about public policy for the preserve, the county's environmental management staff is being asked to identify the area's key habitats.
The county's Utilities Department bought much of the preserve and has helped draft a proposed map of what parts of the preserve the department no longer needs and what parts might remain available for its uses.
In response, the county Environmental Lands Division will soon evaluate the preserve land north of Keystone Road from an ecological standpoint.
"Our next step is to go in there and prioritize - one, two, three, four - those parcels that we see with the most significant ecological value, " said Bruce Rinker, Pinellas County's Environmental Lands Division director.
And then the map will be adjusted.
Preserved for riding
Except for occasional special events, public access to the preserve north of Keystone Road has been limited to riders on horseback using the preserve's horse trails.
A new equestrian group, the Equestrian Partners with Brooker Creek Preserve, prefers to keep the preserve as it is - for passive recreation.
"I would love to see all things for everyone, but that's just not how it would come out, " said Lore Pearson of East Lake, the group's coordinator. "We have to say 'Keep it passive' or it's going to disappear."
She and the other riders would hate to see that happen.
"The sound, the taste, the smell of that area, there's nothing average about it, " Pearson said. "It reeks of Florida nature, and we love it."

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Improve the Program
The BLM uses the latest science in its efforts to ensure that viable numbers of wild horses and burros can thrive on healthy public rangelands.
The BLM also continually seeks to improve the program's scientific foundation. In early 2011, the agency commissioned a study by the National Academy of Sciences that will review and evaluate previous wild horse management studies. The organization will then make recommendations to the BLM on how to use the latest scientific research.

The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: Feb. 8
5. Berlusconi Comes Back
Bentornato, Berlusconi! It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
Right here on our 5 Dumbest list, that is.
Italy's former prime minister returned to the spotlight last Sunday with a fiery stump speech in Milan announcing his "last great electoral and political battle." Silvio Berlusconi, who was pushed out of office in November 2011 as the country's borrowing rates skyrocketed, promised his supporters sweeping tax cuts and bunga bunga sex parties for all if his center-right wins the election later this month.
OK. The billionaire didn't offer voters pro bono bunga bunga. Nevertheless, he did give them a self-described "shock proposal" to scrap outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti's much-hated levy on primary residences.
For the record, a recent survey showed Berlusconi's rhetoric appears to be working. His center-right coalition gained 1.3 percentage points to finish the week at 27.8%, compared with 32.8% for Pier Luigi Bersani's center left, which dropped 1.6 percentage points. On the flip side, Italian stocks, as measured by iShares MSCI Italy ETF , have fallen with the rise of Berlusconi's poll numbers.
"I want to help Italy get out of this dark atmosphere the technical tax men have put it in, and in which the tax men of the left will leave it mired," said Berlusconi, deriding both Monti's centrist coalition and his center-left opponents.
Monti was quick to hit back, saying Berlusconi "has never kept any of his promises." Meanwhile, Gianfranco Fini, the speaker of the lower house of parliament, tweeted that in his second cabinet meeting, Berlusconi would "decree that everyone wins the lottery."
You bet your culo, Gianfranco. Berlusconi has always been a winning ticket for the 5 Dumbest Lab . That's why we are proud to support him in his quest to retake the prime minister's position.
Berlusconi is not really campaigning for his old job. If Berlusconi's People of Freedom party wins, that position will go to party Secretary Angelino Alfano. Berlusconi said Sunday he would serve as both economic minister and industry minister in an Alfano administration.
"That is, if Angelino Alfano reconfirms his trust in me," Berlusconi laughed about the man who would clearly be his puppet.
Don't worry, Angelino. The joke's not on you. It's on the Italian people and most assuredly on German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Although we doubt she is smiling as brightly as we are about Silvio's comeback.
4. Wynn's Easy Win
Let's be honest, folks: Did anybody really believe Nevada gaming officials were going to rule against casino mogul Steve Wynn in his fight against his former partner Kazuo Okada?
We didn't think so.
In perhaps the least surprising decision to come out of Las Vegas since Larry Holmes stopped Gerry Cooney three decades ago, the Nevada Gaming Control Board determined that Okada's allegations against Wynn Resorts (WYNN) regarding a donation made to the University of Macau by Wynn Macau were unfounded. Additionally, the U.S. District Court of Nevada granted Wynn Resorts' motion to dismiss a shareholder suit action -- yeah, Okada again -- against Wynn and it's board based on the Macau donation, saying there was insufficient legal basis for the case to go forward.

I just don't understand him... he comes up with quite a few new songs every tour, but still he won't mix up anything. All the shows are exactly the same. He's with the same band for ages, they all know the songs, he definitely could have played a different set every night with cool surprises and stuff, or at least change the songs every now and then like many artists do, but he won't...
Here is a list of all the songs Paul performed in 2009/10:
(I Want To) Come Home
A Day in The Life/Give Peace A Chance
All My Loving
And I Love Her
Back In The USSR
Band On The Run
Calico Skies
Can't Buy Me Love
Coming Up
Dance Tonight
Day Tripper
Drive My Car
Eleanor Rigby
Every Night
Flaming Pie
Get Back
Got To Get You Into My Life
Helter Skelter
Here Today
Hey Jude
Honey Hush
I Saw Her Standing There
I Want To Come Home
I'm Down
I'm Looking Through You
I've Got A Feeling
Lady Madonna
Let It Be
Let Me Roll It/Foxy Lady
Letting go
Live And Let Die
Magical Mystery Tour
Mrs. Vanderbilt
Mull of Kintyre
My Love
Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Only Mama Knows
Paperback Writer
Sgt Pepper/The End
Sing The Changes
The Long And Winding Road
Two Of Us
Venus And Mars/Rock Show
That's 50 songs! He can do a great, diverse tour with these songs only... play different stuff every night, and that's only with tunes from the last year and 4 months. If you count in 2008, you add:
C Moon
Fine Line
Good Day Sunshine
Hello Goodbye
Here, There and Everywhere
I'll Follow The Sun
Let 'Em In
Penny Lane
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
Too Many People
With an overall of 61 songs he could do a great tour... and of course, that's not counting stuff from older tours, or solo songs that he could pull of without rehearsing with the band...
Everyone else seems to do it, but Paul just sticks to the same set every night... why?

What are you using for your cracker style pizza? My favorite pizza joint starts there's on a pan and finishes on the deck of there pizza oven.
And I agree about the parbaking. I've never seen it done in a pizza shop.
Parbaking is mostly done by members here to increase the liklihood of a crispy, bubbly crust. That's not to say that the root of the issue is a poor oven, dough formulation or something else. I used to use a stone, but switched over to a conveyor. It's radiant heat with independent top and bottom controls. It's not an impingment type oven. If I dial it in just right, the results are pretty much the same with perhaps a little bit lighter crunch than you get from a stone. Uniformity of cooking is much better in the center of the pie as opposed to a stone in an oven.

Viking girls win 3A-North golf title
REDWOOD FALLS – Blessed with a rare day of fair weather this spring, golfers didn't seem to know what to do with themselves Thursday during the 3A-North sub-section tournament at Redwood Falls Golf Club.
Just three of 44 golfers in the boys' competition cracked 90 and only four of 36 girls broke 100 on a sunny, breezy day that saw temperatures climb into the mid-60s.
Russell-Tyler-Ruthton senior Hannah Kruger was one of the few players who took advantage of nice weather, tying Springfield's Christopher Kretsch for the best round of the day, boy or girl, with a 14-over 84 on the par-70 course. She posted a 39 on the back nine, her first nine holes, before wrapping up her round with a 45 on the front.
Kruger finished seven strokes clear of runner-up Kyra Gores of Lincoln HI to defend her individual sub-section title. She said some of the course conditions presented a tough challenge to the players and may have been what led to the high scores.
"I think the greens were a big problem, probably the biggest problem, and there were some wet spots out there from the rain from the past few days. The greens were really fast for the most part," said Kruger, who tied for 11th at the Class A state tournament with Gores last year. "Keeping it in the fairway, that was the biggest thing for me. If you get in that rough, you're probably going to chunk it out of there because there's no way you're going to get it out of there cleanly."
In the girls' team competition, Minneota emerged as the champion in the field of six squads with a score of 428. Last year a senior-laden Lincoln HI team won the sub-section on the same course with a 383 in heavy rains.
The Vikings don't have nearly as much experience as that Lincoln HI team, sporting a senior, a junior, two freshmen and two eighth-graders. Alyssa Engler is the lone senior on the Minneota squad and led the Vikings with a 102. She was excited to have her team advance to Wednesday's Section 3A tournament in Marshall, no matter the score.
"We knew Lincoln HI had lost a lot of good seniors so we knew we had a good chance and we came through. I'm very proud of our girls. They played very well," Engler said.
Minneota was coming off a win in the Camden Conference Championships the previous week at Marshall Golf Club. The success for the young squad continued Thursday and Engler hopes it can carry over for at least one more tournament and get the Vikings to state.
"We have to play well as a team, we have to get out there and practice and keep everything going the way it's been going and I'm hoping that the younger girls will not get nervous," Engler said. "I was a seventh-grader when I first did sub-sections and I was nervous, very nervous, so I know where they're coming from. You just have to try to truck through and we'll do as well as we can."
Eighth-grader Heidi Guttormsson finished second on the team with a 103, while junior Megan Evers (111) and freshman Rachel Knutson (112) rounded out the top four scores.
Wabasso gave the Vikings a strong push, finishing five strokes back with a 433. They held off Tomahawk Conference rival Springfield by four strokes to sneak into the second qualifying spot for the section tournament for the second straight year.
Senior Briana Jenniges, a sixth-year varsity player, led the Rabbits with a 97 to finish third individually. Jenna Henriksen added a 105 and Brooklyn Maasch and Kendra Haase shot 115 and 116, respectively.
"Briana came through with a really good score in the 90s and Jenna came through with a 105, that was big," Wabasso head coach Dave Blank said. "A couple of kids didn't have a very good back nine to start out, but they came in and had a solid front side. That was the key.
"I'm really proud of them. We've been behind Springfield by three to five strokes all year so I knew we had a chance to catch them, I knew we were within striking distance and we finally got ahead of them today."
Several individuals will also advance to next week's section tournament, including Gores and Marshall-area golfers Annika Anderson of Tracy-Milroy-Balaton (112) and Whitney Fischer of Lakeview (114).
The top three boys' teams finished in the same order as they did at last year's sub-section meet. Springfield won the team title for the fourth year in a row with a 354 and will advance to sections along with runner-up RTR, which was 23 strokes back. Lincoln HI placed third with a 384.
Though it finished in the same spot, the RTR team looks a lot different than it did a season ago. The Knights had to replace their top four players from last year and they only have a on senior on the varsity roster.
Despite the turnover, RTR head coach Darin Dahle said he felt his team still had a shot to be in the mix.
"Just looking throughout the year I knew Springfield was probably going to be the team to beat, but then from there it was kind of up in the air," Dahle said. "TMB had beaten us earlier in the year and Lincoln HI was right there. It was a little bit of a surprise but we knew we would have a chance if we played well. I don't know if I'd say we played it all well, but well enough."
Freshman Jeremy Alsaker led the Knights with a 90, juniors Derrick Whiting and Hunter Burns each shot a 93, and junior Nathan VanDrunen came in with a 101.
Last year's sub-section medalist, Jeff Gladis of Lincoln HI, was in good position to defend his title after shooting a 41 on his front nine to lead the boys' field, but a big number on the par-4 10th tripped him up and he finished with an 88, which was still good enough for third place overall.
"I started off really well with my irons; I didn't use my driver at all today," Gladis said. "My putting was good and my short game was working really well on the front nine. On the back nine I started off with a nine on 10 and then I struggled a little bit over the next couple of holes before I put it back together and got a couple of pars."
Gladis will be joined at sections by teammates Trysten Studemann (94) and Jonathon Piehl (95), who also qualified as individuals.
Other individual section qualifiers from the area were TMB's Devin Skalak (90) and Joey Felt (92), Lakeview's Hunter Kvistad (100) and Taylor Pickthorn (100), Wabasso's Kyle Campbell (96) and Hendricks' Kolbe Frank (99).
