The truth is we have gone backwards in the last two decades.just three days (June 20-22), rather than the 14 days of its predecessor. President Obama isn't going. The organizers are so scared nobody of note will turn up that, when they learned a few months ago that the event would clash with Britain and its former empire celebrating Queen Elizabeth's diamond jubilee, they postponed the summit for a week.
We need new environmental governance. It's time to reboot the Rio+20 summit agenda.environmental standards in development projects, such as those developed by the World Bank, as undermining their national sovereignty and impeding economic development, rather than enhancing and sustaining them.
We need something like a UN environmental security council to drag us back from the tipping points.explosive growth of nitrogen-gorged "dead zones" in the oceans, or runaway emissions of methane from melting permafrost.
Rio+20 needs to give teeth to its predecessor's vague promises about sustainable development.resilience for humans to survive what is almost certainly looming, especially for the poorest, who need protection from climate change, food shortages, natural disasters, and failed states. That means developing crops that are more drought tolerant, helping poor communities prudently harvest forests and other ecosystems for their own day-to-day needs, and ensuring that communities are better protected against floods and other natural disasters.

KwaZulu-Natal branch event. 9 May 2012
The event was held at the Blue Marlin in Richards Bay and attended by twenty delegates.
There were two presentations:
]]> Both presentations were presented in a very professional manner, with many questions afterwards.
The first was a presentation on 'Eskom's five year strategy' presented by Roy Naidoo, the Lead Customer Executive of the Eskom Group Customer Service Eastern Region. The Co-presenter was Mrs Dhenay Pillay.
The second presentation was delivered by Mr Kevin Peacocke, the owner and founder of Gravity Concentrators Africa, Peacocke Simpson and Associates, and Appropriate Process Technologies, who presented on 'Enhanced gravity separators and modular plants'.

Keep things level and keep yourself safe with this smart tip
Next time you�re using a router on narrow boards and want to prevent the tool from rocking (such as when creating an inside rabbet, as shown here), try this tip from Club member Erwin Cohen of Orlando, Florida. Cut a small wooden heel the same thickness as the workpiece and mount it to the baseplate of the router. Because of the added thickness of the heel, you�ll need to replace the plate mounting screw you choose as an attachment point with a longer screw of the same diameter. Be sure to countersink the screw; then sand the sliding surface of the heel smooth and buff it with wax. Brought to you by: American Profile

George A. Frykman
Papers, 1906-1994 (bulk 1950-1990)
George Frykman, 1985 (from the Hilltopics Photograph Collection, PC 123)
Acquisition And Processing Information
George Frykman donated his papers to the Washington State University Libraries in 1991 (MS 1991-42), and additional related papers were transferred by the WSU History Department in the same year (UA 1991-08). These two accessions were combined and processed in 2010 by WSU Ph.D. candidate Lee Ann Powell.
Extent/Quantity Information
Number of Containers: 13
Linear Feet of Shelf Space: 6.25
George Frykman was born April 30, 1917 in San Francisco, California. In 1935 he graduated from Sequoia High School in Redwood City, CA; he then attended San Jose State College and Stanford University (1935-1941). From 1941 to 1942 he taught English and social studies at Kerman High School in Kerman, CA. He served in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1946, achieving the rank of Captain in 1945, and was employed by the Army as a photographer, instructor of photography, and public relations officer. Frykman received a master's degree in history from Stanford University in 1947 and subsequently completed his dissertation, "Indigenous Sectionalism in American Historiography, 1877-1917," earning his Ph.D. in 1955.
Frykman joined the Washington State College history faculty in 1950. Soon after this he served for two years as the chief of the Social Science Division of the college library. Between 1960 and 1964, he worked as assistant to the Dean of the Graduate School in addition to his teaching duties. He was elected to the Faculty Senate, and served as its president. Frykman served on other important university committees, and on nearly every committee of the History Department. He also acted as the faculty advisor for Phi Alpha Theta (history honor society), WSU Chapter Gamma Psi.
Frykman was an active participant in regional history associations and programs, including membership in the Association of Washington Historians and the Council in Regional Research. He participated in many professional conferences, helping to organize several Pacific Northwest History Conferences.
Frykman devoted much of his professional energy to the history of the Pacific Northwest, and, more specifically, to Washington State University. In 1985, the WSU Press published his book about Edmond S. Meany, Seattle's Historian and Promoter: the life of Edmond Stephen Meany. That same year Frykman completed an oral history project on the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine, and was selected as WSU's Centennial Historian for the 1990 anniversary celebration. His 1990 history of the university, Creating the People's University: Washington State University, 1890-1990, was published as a result of this centennial appointment.
Collection Description
The collection includes professional papers reflecting Frykman's career and activities as a faculty member at Washington State University, particularly in the Department of History, the American Studies Program, Faculty Senate, and Phi Alpha Theta, and to his participation in professional and community associations. It consists of correspondence, reports, printed ephemera, photographs, and memorabilia.
Collection Arrangement
The collection is arranged in 11 series. The materials were left in their original order with the exception of a few instances where the processor determined that rearrangement was necessary to facilitate access.
Series List
- Series 1: Early papers, 1933-1951
- Series 2: Correspondence, 1950-1990
- Series 3: Department of History, Washington State University, circa 1950s-1990
- Series 4: American Studies, circa 1950s-1980s
- Series 5: Other Washington State University activities, 1945-1990
- Series 6: Professional organizations, 1956-1988
- Series 7: Conferences, 1951-1994
- Series 8: Essays, presentations, and book reviews by Frykman, 1951-1989
- Series 9: Research files, 1906-1987

I guess I'm not repeating a thread.
My favorite clip: a tie between "Imagine" (I can bear Ono's prsence in it) and the posthumous " I'm stepping out" (nice parallelism between John's movement sequences and the rhythm of the track).
There aren't many John video clips, right ? I can recall a couple more only, both are posthumous.

ill try and make this short and sweet. I go to pick up some del sol seats from him and he gives me 3 different address's. first two never showed up on gps, finally the 3rd one did. and i wrote down and repeated each address from him so its not like i wrote it down wrong or anything. each address was completely different from the last, so its not like one number was off or something u know. so that in itself was shady.
secondly when i get there to get the seats. he tells me that the rails might be from a ek civic so they wouldnt match up for me. Now he told me this with a set of "freshly bought" s2k seats sitting in a del sol with all 4 bolts working. When i saw the seats i thought they were s2k bottom pans & hardware. i told him i didnt care cuz i had del sol pans at the house i was going to change anyways. when i took them apart it just confirmed they were s2000 hardware. which is nothing close to a civic. and all the bolts were NOT even hand tightened so it was obvious he had just finished swapping them out.
its about principles. i told the kid i didnt care about the bottom pans being different and he still felt the need to lie about what he had. its either that or he's just dumb but im not giving him that benefit of the doubt. so in the future just watch out what you get from this kid. cuz if he lied to me about this dumb issue im sure he will do it for other things.

10 Most Common Security Vulnerabilities in Enterprise Databases
Databases have a big target on their backs. Often the who are putting databases at risk are not malicious attackers but people within the organization— including database administrators and developers — who aren't doing what they need to do to keep database systems secure.
Vulnerabilities can be introduced during the creation of a database, in the process of customizing an off-the-shelf application or in the process of updating data. Add all of this in with the hackers who are eager to gain access to your company's databases for monetary or other rewards, and you have a lot of factors working against strong database security. The first step in securing databases is to know what makes them insecure. In this Dark Reading report, we examine the 10 most common security vulnerabilities in enterprise databases and provide recommendations for remediating and even getting out in front of them.

7 Top Cars at the Detroit Auto Show
DETROIT ( TheStreet) -- To me, the most important vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show was the 2014 Silverado, except it wasn't because GM (GM) chose to roll out the new version of this long-established pickup truck on Dec. 13.
So by consensus, the top car of the auto show was the 2014 Corvette Stingray. This seemed puzzling because Corvette sold just 14,132 Corvettes in 2012 and the customer profile leans heavily to aging baby boomers seeking to recapture their lost youth. During the year, Silverado sold 418,312 units and was the second best-selling U.S. vehicle.
Furthermore, 2013 seems to be the year of the pickup truck , with a recovery in housing construction expected to boost sales and new trucks either on the market or coming to market from Chrysler, Ford (F) and GM.
We asked Chevrolet spokesman Michael Albano why GM rolled out Silverado a month before the auto show, and he responded: "The Corvette was the star of the show and we suspected it would be and didn't want to compete with ourselves.
"In addition, unveiling the Silverado at a standalone event allowed us to take the time and explain the technical details of the truck to media," Albano said. "It's a sophisticated machine and the capabilities require explanation."
Last week, in advance of the auto show, TheStreet reported on the outlook for the six hottest cars. This week we are making one change in that list, adding the Honda(HMC) SUV concept.
Plus this week, we have pictures of all the vehicles; few photos were available in advance of the show.
Here is our list:
Chevrolet Corvette
The 2014 Corvette Stingray got lots of attention, just as GM had hoped. A Sunday night introduction, in advance of the show's Monday morning opening, probably helped.
Why was the Stingray considered so important? We found one answer in a Detroit Free Press article, where Mark Reuss, president of GM North America, said, "I joined the company because of this car" and recalled that on his first date with his future wife he drove a 1969 Corvette that he "was redoing at the time." In other words, at an auto show that is aimed at the auto industry rather than the region where it is staged, GM focused on a car that is important to the industry.
During a brief interview, we asked Reuss whether the Corvette can move beyond its core consumer group of baby boomers, and he responded: "Anybody who's got money and is interested in buying it, we'll sell it to them.
"This car represents freedom," he added. "It is unapologetically American."
Ford Atlas Concept
The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling U.S. vehicle for the past 31 years, as we have heard a thousand times in the past week, so the introduction of the concept for the 2015 F-150 is, of course, a big deal.

If not for an oh by the way, garbage time TD drive by UNLV, the Lead Man would've swept the board today. But, as it stands, 80% is a winning percentage in anyone's book.
Also players who wagered Sabathia and Carmona per Lead's value alert split the games, but because of the value, won money. And, winning money is what The Lead Man does.
Next week players, don't gamble on the games. Just follow Lead, and collect.
Lastly, those of you trying to get a hold of Lead. Monday morning is out. He'll be makin' a deposit.

Couture, cabernet, croissants . . . Paris is the capital of all things decadent and refined.
Nysa Wine Shop Two 25-year-old Parisians, Laurent Decaux and Louis de Montille, recently opened Nysa, a colorful new wine shop in the Marais, which features an unusual selection of regional organic French wines, also known as "biologique." Along with the standard pairings for foods such as foie gras, shellfish and chocolate, they also recommend the perfect wine for various emotions and occasions under headings like "A Big Day," "Between Girlfriends" or "Love at First Sight." Choose from a selection of 60 labels ranging from about $5 to $45 (15 rue du Bourg Tibourg; 33+1/18.104.22.168, Nysa.fr).
Musée des Arts Décoratifs Ten stunning period rooms and five floors featuring contemporary design are the stars of the newly reopened Musée des Arts Décoratifs, whose 150,000-object collection dates from the Middle Ages to the present. The ten-year, $48.5 million revamp spotlights re-created spaces, including a library office for a French embassy designed by Pierre Chareau (right). Classic 20th-century works by Prouvé, Perriand and Royère are matched by cult pieces by Philippe Starck, Marc Newson and the Bouroullec brothers (107 rue de Rivoli; 33+1/18.104.22.168, ucad.fr).
Emporium Shop Textile enthusiast Françoise Dorget, famous for her elegantly curated Caravane shops, has opened Emporium, in the bustling Bastille. Behind the lacquered-red facade, the blue-tinted whitewashed walls are lined with finds not just from Europe, Japan, India, Morocco, Mexico and Brazil but dozens of other locations around the world—a brilliant blend of traditional crafts and modern design. Vegetable-dyed textiles from Calcutta are illuminated by Korean designer Zinoo Park's industrial lights. British design group Gusto's straw-filled Baley benches contrast with Stephanie Bergman's ceramics (22 rue Saint Nicolas; 33+1/22.214.171.124).
Silvera Bastille There is a new revolution at the Bastille: avant-garde design. The latest—and largest—of the new design store is Silvera Bastille, a 2,800-square-foot, four-floor trove organized around an atrium with one floor arranged like an apartment. On offer: classics by Eames, Jacobsen and Noguchi right up to Philippe Starck's gilded shotgun lamp; Marcel Wanders's floaty Zeppelin lighting; seating by Maarten Baas, Ron Arad and Patrick Norguet; and sofas by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Arik Levy and Patricia Urquiola (41, rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine; 33+1/43.43.06.75, silvera.fr).

after our last meeting and talk of budgets i would like to propose that we make an effort to get the closing parties back on schedule.
i think they are important for meeting the artist, making new contacts, getting more people involved in the gallery/forest.
a lot of the time the artist can't afford to put on a closing party, this show is an example, and so i think it would be good if we could support them in getting some juice/ wine or waver the byob in the gallery for an hour or two. it is a shame to see the shows finish without ceremony and a proper chance to say thank you
what do you think?
this can still be done on a case by case basis so we are not just handing out money willy-nilly

3M Infection Prevention is embarking on active contribution to the society in terms of creating awareness and implementation of infection prevention practices.
Accordingly, 3M Infection Prevention in Egypt has initiated its contribution in that regards with two activities. On a Global level, 3M Health Care is a strategic partner with APIC (Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology). Once the APIC had launched on the 21st October 2010 its Local Chapter in Egypt for the International Infection Prevention Week, hosted by the ESIC (Egyptian Society for Infection Control), 3M Healthcare locally became the only sponsor for this event. Secondly, 3M Healthcare participated in the 19th Annual Conference of the Egyptian Society for Infection Control (29th October – 1st November 2010) through a distributor booth (Egyptian Group Co.) during which the distributor team promoted 3M Sterilization Assurance range. In addition 3M sales and technical service team conducted demonstration in the booth area and responded to participants inquiries.
Those two activities are just the initial step to a cooperation framework that is currently under development between 3M Health Care and the Egyptian Society For Infection Control to create infection prevention practices awareness and compliance in Egypt.

text: In this monograph, the authors present an overview and analysis of the possible approaches to bringing an active demand side into electricity markets. In section I, they describe the ways in which economic incentives can be introduced on the demand side. They discuss the fundamental economics of establishing these incentives and the economic loss from systems that lack demand-side participation, and analyze the effect of these incentives on the efficiency and competitiveness of the market. In section II, they move from the fundamentals to specific issues of implementing time-varying prices. Then, they begin by describing illustrative Realtime Pricing and Critical Peak Pricing tariffs that are in use today. The authors then address the actual development of dynamic retail prices. In section III, they examine the ways in which customers respond to time-varying and dynamic prices. They discuss both the potential responses that are envisioned by those who study optimization of power use and the actual responses that have taken place in pilot and long-term programs. Finally, they conclude in section IV by advocating much wider use of dynamic retail pricing, under which prices faced by end-use customers can be adjusted frequently and on short notice to reflect changes in wholesale prices and the supply/demand balance.

Certification body says German solar firms well-positioned
TÜV Rheinland is optimistic about the future of the German solar industry. On the international market, German companies can use their experience and expertise about quality in the construction and operation of solar power plants.
During the traditional "villa discussions" at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Manfred Bayerlin, CEO of TÜV Rheinland, was optimistic about the solar industry surviving in Germany, even if Germany no longer plays a large part in long-term panel production. "Photovoltaics is a relatively young technology," Bayerlein explained at the event entitled "The future of photovoltaics from the perspective of TÜV Rheinland". "Due to its long-standing position as the leading market, Germany can take a leading role in the future. Research and development have a long tradition here."
For this reason, Bayerlein sees market opportunities primarily in quality assurance and long-term, reliable plant operation. He encourages companies to rethink accordingly; they should bank on their strengths. After all, "Germany is the largest existing test lab, with around 1.4 million units for the practical application of photovoltaics", which explains the TÜV exec's optimism.
Against the backdrop of a growing number of multi-megawatt solar power plants worldwide, Manfred Bayerlein recognizes the growing importance of the reliable plant operation. Banks that provide such investments want to see reliable yields. The bankability of photovoltaic systems is becoming increasingly important as more large systems are financed by banks. "More attention is also being paid to insurability," explained Bayerlein. "Insurers require the best possible technical and economic security."
This is an opportunity for the industry in Germany, which is already accustomed to high quality standards. "Earning risks due to planning errors, defects or failures in the installation operation can be minimized significantly through monitoring and regular maintenance during the preliminary stages," Bayerlein said. "Here lies great market potential for mid-sized companies, consultants, and engineering services," not only for photovoltaics within Germany. "The user-related expertise that experts have acquired here, largely in the solar power production, is also a major international market opportunity," he said.
In this context, the CEO of TÜV Rheinland criticizes the previous support of solar power in Germany. Although the Renewable Energy Sources Act is fundamentally right and the priority for renewable energy should be retained, he feels that feed-in tariffs have been too high. In addition, the funding policy has led the market to boom and bust in the past few years. "Towards the end of a funding period, a boom in installations always led to design and installation quality being treated as secondary," Bayerlein commented on the former biannual, drastic reductions in feed-in tariffs, which also negatively affected quality assurance in Germany. He therefore believes that the current model of a steady, gradual degression is better. This the new monthly reductions calm down the market and provide planning security for installers, which positively impacts the quality of arrays. Bayerlein assumes that the level of the EEG surcharge will rise by less than half a cent in the future if the expansion continues. (Sven Ullrich) / Craig Morris)

Postal Service to issue 'inverted Jenny' collector stampFriday, July 19th, 2013
Philatelists, start your engines: The U.S. Postal Service plans to issue a collector stamp commemorating "the most famous error in the history of U.S. stamps": the 1918 misprint that produced an upside-down Curtiss-Jenny biplane.
The reprinted inverted Jenny stamp will be issued Sept. 22 for $2. The original inverted Jenny was issued in 1918 and cost 24 cents. The postal service is using the original engraved dies of the 1918 stamp in the design of the 2013 edition.
If you happen to own one of the originals, good for you. The Postal Service says collectors have accounted for nearly all of the 1oo inverted Jennys that were produced. One recently sold at auction for $625,000.

Putting information to use
This is the final article in a series breaking down the recently-released health status survey of western Upper Peninsula residents.
HANCOCK – A survey of the health status of western Upper Peninsula residents is not only important for what it indicates about those issues, but it will also be an important guide for health care officials as they develop policies to improve the health of residents, according to Guy St. Germain.
St. Germain, who is health officer/executive officer for the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department in Hancock, said the survey, which was released in late April, was successful because of the collaboration of Aspirus Grand View, Aspirus Keweenaw, Aspirus Ontonagon, Baraga County Memorial, and Portage Health hospitals, and Copper Country Community Mental Health Services, Gogebic County Community Mental Health Authority, and the Western Upper Peninsula Substance Abuse Services Coordinating Agency. That kind of collaboration was unique.
"The assessment couldn't have happened without (the collaboration)," he said.
The survey was completed by 2,500 respondents answering questions about 70 measures of health.
Dave Olsson, Aspirus Keweenaw director of marketing, said hospitals are required to do health assessments of the communities they serve, but something as large of the health status study, which covered Baraga, Gogebic, Houghton, Keweenaw and Ontonagon counties, couldn't have been done individually by the health care providers.
"Individually, we probably would have been able to create assessments, but perhaps not at the magnitude and significance of this body of work," he said.
Residents of rural areas aren't usually involved in such surveys, Olsson said.
Ray Sharp, WUPHD community planning and preparedness manager, said the survey provides health care workers with immediate local information.
"In the past, local agencies had to rely on state data," he said. "By pooling our resources and expertise, we were able to conduct that survey on a scale that we couldn't have done individually."
The various agencies started talking about doing the survey at the end of 2011, Olsson said.
After the large assessment was completed, Olsson said individual health care agencies did reports about how the information in the survey could be used by them.
In June 2012 to 8,000 randomly selected households in the WUPHD coverage area
Angela Luskin, Portage Health community health coordinator, said that organization has already put the information to use.
"It's valuable information for our health care system," she said. "After the community health assessment was complete, we formed a wellness committee to take a deeper look into what the results meant."
Luskin said Portage Health has developed several strategies to be developed in the next fiscal year to help address concerns identified by the survey.
"One of the areas we decided to focus on is childhood obesity," she said.
Luskin said one of the programs Portage Health has developed is Jump Start for Kids, which is a program to get children involved in aerobic activity and healthy eating.
Portage Health has existing programs, which Luskin said can be improved based on the survey, Luskin said.
"The health assessment allowed us to confirm our direction," she said.
Luskin said the Portage Health wellness committee will focus on the three main areas of concern identified in the survey, which are the impact on the community of an aging population, illness prevention and the affects of income and education on health.
"On each of those themes, we targeted priorities," she said.
Olsson said Aspirus Keweenaw has increased the efforts of their diabetes program to address a large growth in the disease.
"The health assessment helped us confirm our focus on diabetes," he said.
Aspirus Keweenaw is also working on adult and childhood diabetes, Olsson said.
"We know the community has a big job there," he said.
Aspirus Keweenaw has formed a community health-needs and wellness team based on the results of the survey, Olsson said.
Hypertension is another health issue to which Aspirus Keweenaw will give increased attention.
Sharp said in three years, it will probably be necessary to conduct another survey using the same questions to determine if the efforts undertaken by health care systems have made a positive impact on improving health.
"The real prize is if we come back in three years and see we've had improvements in people's health," he said.
St. Germain said James Haveman, the director of the Michigan Department of Community health has shown interest in the survey.
He hopes other health care systems use it as a guide for future health status surveys.
"I'm hoping that model can be replicated," St. Germain said.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (June 23, 2007)
- Despite its troubles reaching the host city of Kumamoto in Japan, the U.S. Men's Volleyball Team got right to work on Saturday and defeated Japan 3-0 (25-17, 25-23, 25-15)in an FIVB World League pool-play match with 5,000 spectators.
The U.S. Men improved their Pool B record to 7-2 and retained their lead. Japan fell to 1-5 and sits in fourth. In other Pool B play on Friday, host Italy defeated France, 3-2 (23-25, 25-18, 25-19, 23-25, 19-17). France sits in second place at 5-4 and Italy holds third at 3-4.
Due to a flight delay, Team USA spent Wednesday night in Osaka, rather than in Kumamoto. But the lost practice time did not seem to affect the players. Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.) led the U.S. onslaught with 14 points on 10 kills, three blocks and one ace. Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.), the World League's leading scorer heading into Friday, added 13 points on seven kills, four blocks and two aces. Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) scored 11 points on kills and Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) added 10 points on seven kills and three blocks.
"Any time you get a three-zero win it is a big deal in international men's volleyball because it happens so rarely," McCutcheon said. "There is so much parity between the teams. We consider ourselves fortunate to come out and win the match 3-0."
Japan's Yu Koshikawa scored 16 points on kills, but no other Japanese player scored in double digits.
"I must take responsibility for today's game, and I apologize to the many fans," Japanese Head Coach Tatsuya Ueta said. "It is not the fault of the players; it is mine. We were in a very bad situation with our reception to the jump serves."
The two teams will play again on Saturday at 10 p.m. PDT in Kumamoto. Live scoring and statistics are available on the FIVB World League web site at www.fivb.org/EN/Volleyball/Competitions/WorldLeague/2007/LiveScore/?sm=121.
On Saturday, the United States started Priddy and Salmon at outside hitter, Gardner at opposite, Millar and David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) at middle blocker, Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) at setter and Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) at libero. U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon did not substitute much, although Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) came in at opposite to score three points, including two aces. Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.) also subbed at middle blocker.
The United States got off to a fast start in the first set and led 8-5 at the first technical timeout. Japanese setter Kosuke Tomonaga used the timeout to recover after suffering a minor injury while running into the standard while trying to return a Priddy ace. Tomonaga returned to the match, but Priddy followed the timeout with another ace forcing Ueta to call another timeout at 9-5.
Millar and Lee both had kills to keep the United States ahead and Salmon's back-court attack gave the U.S. Men a 15-10 cushion and they led 16-10 at the second timeout. Japan never recovered.
Koshikawa tried to rally his team in the second set with a back-row attack and a block on Priddy. But Japan's serving mistakes hurt its own cause and Team USA led 8-6 at the first timeout. With Japan trailing 14-10, Ueta called a timeout. Japan rallied and closed the score to 15-14, forcing McCutcheon to call a timeout. The United States scored the next point to reach the second technical timeout.
Japan continued to keep the score close. With the U.S. leading 21-19, Koshikawa used a kill to bring Team Japan to within one and forced McCutcheon to call a timeout. But the United States held fast and Gardner brought up set point at 24-21. Koshikawa's serve struck the net and fell wide as the United States dodged a bullet.
Japan's serving continued to be a problem in the third set and the U.S. eventually pulled away, leading 16-9 at the second timeout.
All U.S. matches and the World League finals are scheduled to be shown on ESPNU.

Conservapedia:The Conservative Bible Project
On Christmas Day 2008, Andrew Schlafly started his most important project and what some might consider his biggest insult to Christianity to date: Conservapedia's
Bible Retranslation Projectimg renamed to Conservative Bible Projectimg.
[edit] Project outline
Despite poor descriptions by Schlafly of the means to be employed to re-translate the Bible, in its execution so far the project does not involve any substantial translation of the original Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek texts, or later translations of these such as the Greek Septuagint or the Latin Vulgate. Rather, Schlafly has been altering the text of the KJV on a word-for-word and idea-for-idea basis to eradicate words and concepts that he feels threaten his personal concept of Christian Conservatism. This is probably because, while claiming to have expertise in ancient Greek,[1] Schlafly seems to have a shaky grasp of it and may not even understand what language Jesus was speaking[2] (for those keeping track, the historical Jesus would have spoken Aramaic - while early Christian writers wrote in Greek). One obvious consequence of his methodology is that Schlafly misapprehends the significance of words and phrases with idiomatic meaning in the Ancient Greek, particularly such as appear in the Pauline letters, and fails to include such meaning in his alterations of the KJV text.
[edit] Reasons behind the project
The stated rationale behind the project is that English is changing (or "devolving" according to Schlafly)[3] so rapidly that the words in previous Biblical translations are no longer accurate (this is, somehow, not in conflict with his claim that new "conservative words" have been being added to the English language at a geometric rate). Schlafly goes on to say that "If a word inevitably alters its meaning after an approximate number of uses, then the time period for the change in meaning will shorten due to improved technology". The project also focuses on the fact that several new words have entered the English lexicon since the original translations of the Bible and that these could be useful in
adding new bias giving the translation more relevant meaning (naturally, these words include homeschool and conservative). Presumably this means that by the time the project is completed, it will already be out of date and a new translation will be required to compensate for further devolution.
The roots of the idea seem to lie in Schlafly's Conservapedia entry for Disputed Biblical Translationsimg, started earlier in December 2008. In this he lamented that recent translations such as the New International Version have fewer direct mentions of Hell, the Devil and the divinity of Jesus Christ than are in the King James Version. Of course in Schlafly's mind this is all about liberal creep and misappropriation, rather than anything to do with advances in classical scholarship over the past four centuries.
[edit] Specific examples
- Replacing rich with miserly.
- Presumably this is because some wealthy Christians are uncomfortable with Jesus's quote about a rich man and an eye of a needle.
- Replacing kill with murder.
- This is a common dispute with the commandment "thou shall not kill." Biblical Hebrew has several words that could be used for "kill," and the word used in the commandment (ratsach) is never used when referring to killing in war. Therefore translating the commandment as "thou shall not murder" is arguably closer to the original intent; but Schlafly's reason is probably to justify capital punishment, torture, and war mongering. But not abortion for some reason.
- Replace liberal with generous.
- Due to Andy's hatred of "evil libruls", even using the word in a non political way, such as "give your cake a liberal sprinkling of icing sugar" is wrong. We wonder how words containing word roots of "liberal" ("liberate", "liberty") are addressed.
- Replace grace with boundless generosity.
- The official reason given is that "Grace" is a girl's name,[4] presumably leaving "faith", "hope", and "charity" yet to be reworded. In addition, If "liberal" can be replaced with "generous", would the word "grace", by syllogism, mean "boundless liberality" back then?
- Replace Pharisees with elites.
- Covering up the rather embarrassing error of the original Evangelists, who confused the less rigid Perushim ("Pharisees") with the stricter Seduqim ("Sadducees") - possibly because Pharisees rivalled early Christians for mass support. As a bonus, it throws in a boilerplate modern conservative term of abuse against contemporary opponents, transforming a politico-religious dispute in 1st century Palestine into Jesus castigating those snooty latte-sippers. After all Conservative elites can't possibly be bad can they?
[edit] Alternatively...
An alternative explanation is that the Bible Retranslation Project is just the sort of thing that happens when Internet kooks have too much wine and chocolate at Christmas, or when megalomaniacs stray further and further beyond the curtain of sanity.
""Frankly, the LOLCat Bible seems to be to be a more accurate translation than the abomination that they propose!! And to those Conservapedia folks I say:
18 Da BirdKat say: if pplz adz stuff to teh profetzi of book, Ceiling Cat make them sicz, leik sayed in book.
|—Mau de Katt, at Slacktivist
[edit] Examples of Conservapedia exegesis of the New Testament
[edit] Progress (or lack thereof)
Unsurprisingly, the project was met with skepticism and criticism from some Conservapedia editors, which was dismissed contemptuously by Schlafly. The article's talk page makes for some interesting reading, particularly a series of posts in which Andy, responding to comments that his "translations" contradicted accepted Biblical and linguistic scholarship, entirely debunked the concept of expertise.
""The "experts" also say that global warming is a crisis and that more government spending is needed. God gave us all the ability to think for ourselves. Let's use it."[7]
Sure Andy, those "experts" talking about global warming are exactly the same people as the ones who translate ancient Greek and Hebrew.
Subsequent comments by Andy continued to emphasize "thinking for yourself" (a Euphemism for agreeing uncritically with Schlafly) as a more reliable method of translation than actual knowledge or study of ancient languages.[8] They also showcased his delusions of grandeur swelling to absurd proportions and his tenuous grip on reality faltering.
""The efficiency of the learning from this project is far greater than in any other medium, much higher than reading a book, attending a seminar, watching television, discussing with people, etc. In merely a few spare minutes or hours, the participants in this project have learned more than they could have after spending 10x or 100x many hours in any other medium.[9]
Both the discussion and the project itself initially fizzled out during early January 2009. Schlafly's biggest supporters on the talk page had been parodists (Bugler and RodWeathers), who have subsequently been exposed and left the site. The other major contributor has been DeniseM, an editor with a good knowledge of Hebrew, Greek and other languages, who has made a start on translating the Book of Esther.[10]
Andy seemed to have largely lost interest in the project, probably due to his short attention span and the many other subjects demanding his "insights". Quite possibly he also realized that he was out of his depth, when confronted with questions like "how do people here render ויהי בימי אחשורוש הוא אחשורוש המלך מהדו ועד כוש שבע ועשרים ומאה מדינה?" and "How do people want to transliterate אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ?" from DeniseM.[11]
The translation of the New Testament was completed on April 23, 2010 by the best of the public.[12] However, when Andy's interpretation of the scriptures is questioned using the Conservative Bible [13] Andy will make improvements in order to rectify the matter.[14][15] Improvements are also made whenever his next insight[16] requires Biblical verification[17] or pet
theories lunacies require Biblical proof, for example[18] disproving relativity.[19] Anyone else doing the same is reverted and blocked for vandalism.[20]
[edit] Summer resurgence
By August 2009 DeniseM and her awkward scholarly questions had disappeared and the concept was resurrected. Andy realised there was no translation of the bible which met his definition of a conservative translation, so he set himself the lofty task of creating his own. The prevailing logic of the reinvigorated exercise is that when the King James Version was first printed in 1611 they did not have access to his "powerful" list of new conservative words that Schlafly spent the first half of the year compiling, which they would have surely used to express the bible's conservative and free market ideas. The only problem was that without being well versed in Hebrew or Koine Greek the Conservapedians could not do a proper translation.
As a result, Schlafly and a small but committed cadre of parodists now have the stated goal of "translating" - more accurately, rewording - six verses of the KJV each day, which will enable Mark's Gospel (the shortest of the four) to be made fully conservative within four months. The talk page is full of optimism, and includes such revolutionary insights as improving on "Holy Spirit" with "Divine Force".
Bits of other books of the New Testament have also been attempted here and there, including half of the letter to Philemon - finally, someone has opened their eyes to the obvious socialism in Philemon verse 1[21] and removed it. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, this translation stops just short of the phrase "mine own bowels".
[edit] Right wing criticism
Given how Conservapedia hangs on to every word of Joseph Farah's WorldNetDaily as newsworthy, it must have come as quite a surprise when somebody who is, theoretically, Schlafly's target market lashed out at the project.[22] Farah described the project as "incredibly stupid and misguided", "nutty", a "trivialization and politicization of the Scriptures" and a "profoundly dangerous practice spiritually". He also had a dig by referring to the authors, Andrew Schlafly and TerryH, as "conservatives" (using the inverted commas).
Schlafly's response was to call Farah's comments "over the top",[23] and TerryH went one step further and drafted a long, rambling screed defending their actions. Armed with a pocket Greek dictionary and Google Translate, Terry concludes his reply by stating, "truth is truth and error is error. And in my determination not to let error stand, I yield to no man, no matter what his reputation or standing in anything that might be called 'the conservative movement.'"[24]
Additionally, Chick Publications raised concerns about the CBP's habit of removing verses from the translated Bible. In conclusion, their article asked the questions:
|Do you think it's important when 12 verses remove everything that happened to Jesus after His burial? Do you think it's important if one missing word makes Jesus look like a liar? Do you think it's important when one missing word ("God") removes the doctrine of the Incarnation (God becoming a man) in a verse? Do you think it's important if the only verse countering infant baptism is removed?[25]
Creation Ministries, extensively cited as an authoritative source in numerous Conservapedia articles ranging from Creationism to Evolution, harshly criticizes the CBP:
|Forcing the Bible to conform to a certain political agenda, no matter if one happens to agree with that agenda, is a perversion of the Word of God and should therefore be opposed by Christians as much as 'politically correct' Bibles.[26]
[edit] Highlights
As of May 2010 the entire Gospels are finished (behind the stated goal of having it done before Easter[27]). The project isn't so much a 'translation' as a anachronistic dumbing down of the King James Version (which is conveniently not copyrighted) with the occasional conservative twist. The KJV verses are put right beside the "Proposed Conservative Translation". The contrast between the archaic literary prose of the KJV and the artless, agenda-ridden language of the Conservative Bible is stunning. For example, the KJV of Luke 11:53-4 reads:
""And as he [Jesus] said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
The Conservative Bible "translation" (done by Andy himself) reads:
""As Jesus told them off, the scribes and Pharisees furiously interrogated Him about everything, plotting and seeking to quote Him for a politically incorrect remark to use against Him.[28]
In addition to trying to interject the modern concept of political correctness into the Bible Andy has his Lord and Saviour telling people off.
Or take Luke 12:43-4. KJV:
""Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
Conservative Bible:
""Blessed is that manager, whose employer finds working so diligently Truly I tell you, he will promote that manager to run all of his affairs.[29]
In addition, Andy:
- has Jesus saying "Listen up". [30]
- considers using the word "bimbo" in his Bible and ponders if the Greek word he is "translating" ever meant that. [31]
- has Jesus complaining about "burdensome regulations". [32]
While many groups in the past have tried to rewrite the Bible to fit their agenda none has ever been this obvious about it, while simultaneously reducing the book's quality to just below a Dan Brown novel. Heathens would have trouble topping this heresy.
[edit] Views from the blogosphere
In late September and early October 2009, the project attracted more widespread attention on the internet, initially from religious or conservative bloggers, before being picked up by others, and even columnists from some major journals.
[edit] Examples of websites and blogs criticising or ridiculing the project
- The Church of Jesus Christ: "This man has no real clue about Bible translations or relating the truth. No Gossip? Hardly. The Bible, for the first time, open to the public for translation? Hardly. The 'public' has been translating the Bible for a very, very long time. And economic parables? Really?"
- Episcopal Cafe, 29th Sept. - "a site that believes the Bible is too liberal"
- Beliefnet, 1st Oct. - "insane hubris"
- Catholic and Enjoying It!, 1st Oct. - "delectable insanity"
- Dr. Claude Mariottini (Professor of Old Testament), 2nd Oct. - "such a translation will violate every hermeneutical principle used by Bible translators"
- Time, 5th Oct. - "This is insane"
- Dr. James McGrath, associate professor of religion at Butler University. "is the "Conservapedia Version" of the Bible a really funny parody or a really deceitful pseudoconservative pseudotranslation that leaves its users with a pseudobible?"
- Harper's, 5th Oct, From the Department of Self-Parody
- The Huffington Post, 5th Oct.
- PZ Myers, 5th Oct.
- The Vanity Press, 5th Oct. (blog defunct) - "To describe them as 'later-inserted liberal passages' is to imply that 'liberalism' is not a modern political philosophy but a conspiracy that has been around since before Jerome -- one that the editors of Conservapedia will now eradicate."
- The New Republic's "The Plank", 6th Oct.
- Little Green Footballs, 6th Oct. "You couldn't write comedy like this."
- Dispatches From The Culture Wars 6th Oct. "Okay, this is so stupid that it seems like it must be a joke."
- The Thomas Society Blog, 7th Oct. "This is such an abuse of God's word it makes me want to vomit."
- Slacktivist, 7th Oct. "It's ridiculous and extreme and brazenly blasphemous and colossally illiterate"
- Right Wing Radicals, 31st Oct. "Sounds to me like these idiots thought Jesus had some speeches and movements against modern-day liberals even though he died 1900 years before they existed."
- Too many more to list.
[edit] Examples of blogs defending the project
- NewsBusters, 5th Oct. - "legitimate theologically conservative concerns", but lukewarm support at best ("this writer personally disagrees with and finds huge dangers in an explicitly "conservative" interpretation of holy writ").
[edit] Examples of Andy defending his project
- On October 6, 2009, Andy went on Colmes' radio show, where he "debates" (disputes) whether Aramaic was the original Biblical language (RationalWiki transcript):
- On October 7, 2009, he pulled a similar stunt on the Dave Ross Show:
- On December 8, 2009, Andy appeared on the Colbert Report, where he not only defended his project, but also coined his 'Best of the Public' phrase.

Grateful for Safe Routes to School funding
To the editor:
These days, fewer children reap the health benefits of walking or bicycling to school. Distance, safety concerns, parent work schedules and fewer crossing guards are some of the reasons cited. This fall, several local communities applied for Safe Routes to School funding to address this issue. Safe Routes to School is an initiative of the Department of Transportation designed to encourage walking and bicycling to school.
Walking or bicycling to school helps children to get a portion of the daily physical activity they require to build strong bodies and maintain a healthy weight. With one-third of our children overweight or obese, efforts to increase walking and bicycling are important to our children's current and future health.
Safe Routes to School programs promote healthy and safe transportation to and from school. Safety concerns are addressed through infrastructure improvements such as adding sidewalks, making crosswalks more visible or installing traffic lights or signs. Non-infrastructure improvements include education such as teaching children traffic safety skills or driver education. Stepped-up enforcement of motor vehicle regulations in school zones can be a component, or establishing "walking school buses," where one or more adults walk to school with a group of students.
Safe Routes to School funding applications are only successful when municipalities collaborate with other organizations and the community. The local recipients of this Safe Routes to School funding worked with school districts, public health, law enforcement and community members to evaluate existing infrastructure, brainstorm potential solutions and develop plans to work cooperatively to implement infrastructure improvements and provide educational components.
Healthy Schools NY would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the communities in our area that were successful in their bid to secure Safe Routes to School funding: Peru, Malone, Saranac and Saranac Lake. Your success is a measure of the substantial effort and dedication that went into your respective applications and your desire to provide students with safe options for healthy activity.
