Video: "We thought he was going to be … the next Messiah"
posted at 10:01 am on December 18, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Who has been hurt by Barack Obama's plummeting poll numbers? The President himself, of course, and his administration, and incumbent Democrats running for re-election and away from the "you can keep your plan" promise. However, don't forget the mainstream media, who sent dozens of reporters to Wasilla, Alaska to investigate the supposedly unprepared governor as a Vice Presidential candidate but couldn't be bothered to look into the Chicago Machine to test the qualifications of a rookie Senator for the top spot. Barbara Walters told Piers Morgan last night that everyone thought Obama was the Messiah, which is why his failures are so disappointing to them (via Newsbusters and Truth Revolt):
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: You have interviewed every president of my lifetime. Why is Obama facing so much opposition now? Why is he struggling so much to really fulfill the great flame of ambition and excitement that he was elected on originally in 2009?
BARBARA WALTERS: Well, you've touched on it to a degree. He made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be – I shouldn't say this at Christmastime, but – the next messiah. And the whole ObamaCare, or whatever you want to call it, the Affordable Health Act, it just hasn't worked for him, and he's stumbled around on it, and people feel very disappointed because they expected more.
It's very difficult when the expectations for you are very high. You're almost better off when they are low and then they rise and rise. His were very high and they've dropped. But you know, he still has several years to go. What does he have, three years, Piers? And, you know, there will be a lot of changes, one thinks in that time.
Probably in the Senate, most immediately in terms of politics. In real terms, millions of Americans have already experienced "a lot of changes" by having their health insurance cancelled, thanks in large part to the media failing to demand an explanation of how the "keep your plan" promise was supposed to work. Don't forget the skyrocketing premiums, which exposed the Obama promise of lowering premiums by $2500 as another cheap (so to speak) lie that the media didn't scrutinize from its Messiah.
Lots of changes, yes, lots of changes. Will the media stop giving Obama the Messiah treatment? That's a change that we probably won't see, and even Walters expresses hope in her statement that her Messiah will reappear over the next three years. This Advent season, it's probably better to trust in the true Messiah rather than Walters', and certainly better than trusting in the media that propped him up.

Family: Vespertilionidae, Vespertilionid Bats view all from this family
Description Tiny bat with blunt, slightly curved tragus, and small hind foot less than half as long as the tibia. The black face mask contrasts strongly with yellowish, gray-brown body color. Active in the early twilight, this species has slow erratic flight that looks almost like a butterfly. Forearm 26-33mm. Found from sea level to 3000m, favors canyons and cliff faces, but occurs in a wide variety of desert scrub and arid grassland habitats as well.
Dimensions 60-86mm, 25-36mm, 2-6g
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Habitat Deserts, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Canyons & caves, Cities, suburbs & towns
Range Plains, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Texas, California, Northwest
Discussion Roosts in crevices and mine tunnels in rocky outcrops near water sources. With expanding human populations, the bats have taken to roosting in stucco cracks near swimming pools as a logical substitute.

Visteon says employees to stay put at U.S. HQComments Email Print
DETROIT (Jan. 14, 11 a.m. ET) — Despite a deal that will consolidate its climate business in Asia, Visteon Corp. says employees at its headquarters in suburban Detroit will stay put.
Visteon announced this week that the South Korea-based joint venture Halla Climate Control Corp. will buy the supplier's automotive climate business. Visteon owns 70 percent of Halla Climate.
Once consolidated, the joint venture will be renamed Halla-Visteon Climate Group and led by a Korean management team and traded on the Koreas stock exchange.
However, Visteon's 300 employees supporting the climate control business will remain here, Jim Fisher, director of corporate communications, wrote in an email.
Visteon's 400 employees at its Halla Climate plant in Alabama also will stay put under the deal, he said.
"While the Visteon employees supporting climate in Michigan will now be supporting Halla Visteon Climate Control (once the transaction is completed), they will remain based at the (Michigan) facility serving customers as they do today," Fisher wrote in the email. "As long as Visteon serves customers in the U.S., we require resources in the U.S. to support those customers."
The supplier also expects to sell its stake in the Chinese joint venture Yanfeng Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd., Visteon CEO Tim Leuliette said in an October 2012 interview.
Leuliette said the Southeast Michigan headquarters would remain at least a technical center, but he would not speculate whether it would remain Visteon's global headquarters.
"We don't have a huge presence in Southeast Michigan today; it's just basically our headquarters, and we have some U.S. debt and some unfunded pension," Leuliette said then. "We're asking the question, 'Where's the best place for us to be?'"
Visteon's headquarters currently houses 830 employees, Fisher said.

I landed a pair of mozilla embedding patches, and I'm waiting for another one to be checked in. The GRE work is almost complete. I guess I'll have to wait embed string/private string incompatibilities to be fixed though, even if I'm not experiencing problems on linux.
Integrating mozilla and GNOME printing is not as easy as I'd have hoped, mainly because there is not yet something like a GNOME print system (or at least something stable, that we are planning to keep supporting in the future). Though I think providing a generic, full featured, frontend that can work with multiple backends could be a good start.
I should get back hacking on Epiphany a bit more, I guess I'm just a bit demotivated and time lacking at the moment.
I'd like to give gcj a try, but I'm too lazy to bootstrap another jhbuild tree. I guess I'll just wait the whole thing to be merged in real jhbuild.
On a side note, I finally graduated, it was about time :P

Wildlife activist to speak, April 5
Posted March 29, 2001; 11:47 a.m.
Karl Ammann, wildlife activist, photographer and author, will present a lecture titled "Eating Ape: Primates on the Brink" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 5, in Bowl 1, Robertson Hall.
His presentation will focus on the illegal bushmeat trade that is decimating the wild primates of Africa, pushing chimpanzees, gorillas and monkeys close to extinction. Ammann will be featured on the April 3 broadcast of the PBS series, "Scientific American Frontiers," and his latest book, "Eating Ape," will be published this year.
Ammann, who resides in Kenya, has been the primary force behind the move to document and ban the bushmeat trade since 1988. He is the author of six books, and his work has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, Natural History and Newsweek. He is a five-time winner of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award, and he is a multiple winner of the Genesis Award for his contributions toward conservation.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School .

Freaks and zombies descended on the Charleston Music Hall on Friday, October 28 for Thriller: A Monster Mashup, a one-night performance and collaboration between The Charleston Ballet Theater, The Have Nots!, and Charleston Stage and What If? star Brian Porter.
The intimate affair drew a crowd of Rocky Horror and Thriller fans of all ages sporting all manor of dress. Zombies, witches, and a couple vampires could be spotted as guests took their seats for what would be a Halloween dance extravaganza.
The mashup featured the backstory of Thriller's zombies as well as scenes from Rocky Horror Picture Show, but Dr. Frankenfurter stole the show when the bikini-bottomed star serenaded the audience with 'Sweet Transvestite'.
Thriller: A Monster Mashup was a collaboration between The Charleston Ballet Theater and The Have Nots. The Charleston Ballet Theater is currently celebrating its 25th season as a professional dance company. The company, which is directed by Don & Patricia Cantwell and Jill Eathorne Bahr, is the only South Carolina Company licensed to perform the works of the legendary choreographers George Balanchine. The Have Nots! is the longest running comedy improv company in Charleston. Founded in 1995, The Have Nots! founded the Charleston Comedy Festival in 2004 and in August of 2005 opened Theatre 99 at 280 Meeting Street.

Me, too. I actually thought there was something in the IV bag.
Me, too. I actually thought there was something in the IV bag.
I wonder if that's why Anne took off with the baby. Did she know the identity of the mole?
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I did a little research. Moon Goodblood gave birth to a daughter in mid-December, so that's partially to explain her absence this season.
Gonna go out on a limb and say this week's ep was the best of the season so far, maybe the entire series. Glad to see a little of the pre-invasion life, even though it was imaginary. And Tom's wife was a hotty.
That was an excellent episode! Both the past 2 weeks. I liked seeing the Mason Family in action versus the farmers, too. Their daughter was a hottie. I wonder if she'll be back for a love interest for one of the Mason boys? [Matt's too young]
Meanwhile, I did not see Lourdes coming. That was interesting. I think we can post the spoiler now. It's been almost 3 weeks.
And I too thought there was something in the IV bag. That was too creepy - that scene with the President. You knew something was wrong right then. They weren't too subtle about it with the Voll weapon though. Nice.
Pope and the Colonel have some strange inter-dependent chemistry. It's distressing because there's a lot of hinting of betrayal forthcoming - especially knowing Pope - but I like where that's been going.
Pope's still my favorite character - to watch by the way - I don't like him for what he stands for - or lacks standing up for. But that's why I like having his type on the show. Pope's a jerk but it makes the show real - the way he behaves.
So what has been alluded to? Did his gang all rape Maggie when they first survived? Hal already got infected by the aliens. Are we just waiting to learn if he caught Pope's STDs?
Maggie (the actress is wonderful - I'm talking about the character) has really irked me. Oh yeah - Hal's so innocent when he's possessed by aliens and she's constantly in denial and forsaking her duty to protect him. Really? He could have caused a lot of damage.
The N.U.S. President, the Colonel, Tom Mason - just a handful of people keep civilization from devolving into chaos - what Pope becoming a leader would represent in fact. Hal could have caused serious damage. But Maggie didn't think.
By the way: Cochise and the Voll? I don't trust them. Pope is right there. Cochise even said he was bred from a warrior species. To put this in Star Trek terms: that's like the Klingons take over earth and the Romulans arrive promising to help us defeat them. Yeah? At what price?
To put that in Star Wars terms: the battle droids occupy your planet. Then Palpatine said - we'll send ENOUGH Clone Troopers to get rid of them for you and stay on as "protection." And by the way: You're protected by THE EMPIRE now. Have a nice day.
The Voll? No. I don't think so. The Colonel was even saying he'd like this to be a HUMAN-RAN war to free their planet and naturally Pope would agree with him. I think we're at a part of the story where we're waiting for Tom Mason to just wake up.
Falling Skies is not going to end with the establishment of The Federation of Planets. Pope might be wrong about so many things, but he's right about this: any aliens are not to be trusted!
Call me a optimistic, but I'm holding out a little hope that Anne and Alexis are in carbon freeze and not dead. The writers are on the verge of turning Tom into Job. Not yet, but one or two crises away.
Now we have to wait until next summer. Overall, I thought it was a solid season and set up for some good storyline possibilities for next season. Looks like the fighters are going back to their roots. But we haven't seen the last of the two alien races by no means.

Updated on 18 February 2013
While from Indian side, it is coordinated by Department of Science and Technology (DST) with members from Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and other scientific departments of India, the Japanese side is represented by its ministry of foreign affairs with members from education, science, health, industry and other relevant ministries.
With a view to represent the demands of the Indian pharma companies in Japan, the Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil), set up by ministry of commerce and and industry, constituted an indigenous body called India-Japan Pharma Alliance in Japan last year. This body will be acting as the Pharmexcil's frontal agency to represent the issues and the challenges faced by the Indian pharmaceutical companies in Japan.
The Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) report 2012 titled "India-Japan: A Growing Strategic Relationship" has predicted that the two countries would achieve a trade target of $25 billion by 2014.
Strong mutual complementarities between two nations are driving the trade and potential sectors of trade and investment including capital goods, auto parts, chemicals and pharmaceuticals among a wide range. It is very important for both the nations to encourage bioscience cooperation and lay down a concrete road map for the future.

In September 1991, I was fortunate to have a road-trip with my uncle, Douglas Russell Woodward, while visiting in New Hampshire. Uncle Doug, 2nd child of Oscar H. Woodward and Sara Waddell, had spent much of his youth in West Franklin before his family removed to East Concord. We visited West Franklin where he pointed out the house his father rented on South Main Street while he was a young boy. He also showed me the house where he recalled his great grandmother Nancy (neé Glines) Davis resided and the cemetery, Sawyer Cemetery, where she was buried with her husband and at least two of her children. Alas, I had no GPS unit at the time, nor did I take careful note of the location of the two homes. What was I thinking?
A DeLorme map of New Hampshire, published in 1984, illustrates the location of Sawyer Cemetery.
Apparently, at one time the road on which the Davis family resided (in Andover just over the Franklin line) continued on past Sawyer Cemetery and on to the head of Webster Lake. That road had long since been impassable in 1991.
On that trip Uncle Doug also showed me the cemetery in Franklin where his paternal grandparents were buried the needle factory building were several of his uncles and great uncles worked. The needle factory will be discussed at a later date.

Gabe Newell Says Apple is Steam Box's Biggest Problem

Gabe Newell
(Source: neoseeker.com)
Steam Box has to beat Apple into the living room
Gabe Newell said that Apple may be
the main problem
with getting the Steam Box into living rooms.
Newell, Valve's co-founder, told a class at the University of Texas' LBJ School of Public Affairs that Apple could be a threat to his company's upcoming Steam Box if it gets to the living room first.
Steam Box is Valve-developed hardware that aims to broaden the reach of Steam, which is Valve's digital distribution and multiplayer/communications platform. Right now, Steam delivers a variety of games to a user's desktop computer, but Steam Box will bring these games to the living room -- such as on a TV with Big Picture mode.
Not much else has been disclosed about Steam Box, other than the fact that it's Linux-based and will be an open system (Newell even said that it'd be possible to install Windows onto the Steam Box). While no release date is in sight, Newell worries that Apple may launch a similar platform for the living room -- thus beating Valve to the punch.
"The threat right now is that Apple has gained
a huge amount of market share
, and has a relatively obvious pathway towards entering the living room with their platform," Newell said. "I think that there's a scenario where we see sort of a dumbed down living room platform emerging — I think Apple rolls the console guys really easily. The question is can we make enough progress in the PC space to establish ourselves there, and also figure out better ways of addressing mobile before Apple takes over the living room?"
While Valve is looking to offer the best hardware for the best possible price point, Newell worries that Apple may make a move first and offer a closed platform that will lack the user-generated content that Valve (through Steam Box) would offer.
"The biggest challenge, I don't think is from the consoles," Newell said. "I think the biggest challenge is that Apple moves on the living room before the PC industry sort of gets its act together."
"If you mod me down, I will become more insightful than you can possibly imagine." -- Slashdot

On April 4, Tunisia's Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa will meet with President Obama during an official visit to Washington, and will kick off the first session of the Tunisian-American strategic dialogue. Tunisia has a population of just 10 million and little in the way of natural resources, yet it matters enormously. It is the only Arab Spring country that has so far managed to forge a new political future through a consensus-driven process. In this respect, Tunisia is a vital demonstration case for the rest of the Arab world. Its new landmark constitution, emphasizing freedom, equality, and rule of law, is a significant milestone.
Still, the road ahead for Tunisia is long and arduous. Good neighbors -- including economic partners and political-military alliances -- can and should help fragile democracies succeed through tough times.
While both the United States and the European Union have supported Tunisia's transition, their promises of assistance have outstripped what's been delivered. Both need to do more at this important inflection point to ensure that Tunisia builds on the gains it has made. Here are a few recommendations for measures that Washington can take -- in coordination with the European Union -- to help Tunisia reach its goals:
1. Collaborate with European partners to facilitate high-return infrastructure investments that can help jump-start Tunisia's economy and provide jobs.
More than three years after Tunisia set off the Arab Spring, national polls demonstrate that Tunisians continue to view the economy as the country's biggest challenges. Tunisia today faces a tough macroeconomic picture: an unsustainable budget deficit, a bloated public sector, stagnating employment, and low growth rates. Though its economic future is brightening -- with a new constitution, a legitimate government, and the second tranche of a $1.7 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund -- Tunisia now needs to improve productivity levels to remain competitive. This requires regulatory and tax changes, and infrastructure improvements in roads, water, electricity, and information technology, especially in the impoverished interior areas of the country.

About The Changes In The Newsletters
Posted 15 March 2012 - 02:15 PM
Yes, there have been some content changes. We have actually returned to have the newsletter used to be for many years.
You see, over the last couple of years, we kept growing the newsletter issues larger. We kept adding more and more content to each newsletter edition and before we knew what had happened, the newsletter had become so complicated and extensive (we were sending out far more content each month than a published magazine provides), that it had become very draining to our entire team to produce.
We were losing design time and family time. We were having an increasingly difficult time coming up with ideas. We were losing our joy in what had formerly been a very joyful thing to do for our readers.
For instance, as much as I love writing the muses, the pressure of trying to create three, unique, interesting things per week had started to create such conflict inside of me that I found it harder and harder to go to the computer each day. I stopped creating new products because the weight of the muses had become too great. I felt like I was phoning it in when I wrote the muses. I was sending out too many reruns. I completely stopped blogging in my personal blog and almost completely stopped journaling. I was losing my desire to write (and I LOVE to write). I had become as blank as a piece of cement. And then, I started to notice that I didn't even want to scrapbook anymore. Instead of having fun when I scrapped, it became a terrible chore. It was very depressing to me to feel like I was losing two things that brought me happiness because I had put too much pressure on myself.
We also noticed that people had begun to open the newsletter less. It had become so largely that many people felt too busy to read it. So newsletters were piling up in people's Inboxes, unopened. They kept waiting until they had time to read them – which never arrived.
You need to know that unlike most of our competitors, Scrap Girls pays people to write the articles and tutorials you read in the newsletter. We also pay people to assemble and send out the newsletter each day. We value people's time and so we hire people instead of relying on voluntary labor (besides, nobody would volunteer to do such a massive thing!). This means that we have expenses that other companies in our industry don't have including the expense of the building the newsletter (which had become very burdensome). It takes a lot of resources to provide our customers with the level of service that we believe in.
One day, when discussing the situation with a team member, I realized what a mess I had created by adding more and more content to the newsletter over the years. I knew that I needed to simplify it back to its former state for the sake of everyone on the team. It was scary to do – because I don't like to disappoint people and I knew that some people would miss all of that content – but as the chief "have to make tough decision person" – I knew that we had to try it.
I know that change can be difficult. I know it takes time to get used to new things and I hope that you will be patient with changes we have to make. But we ARE continuing to provide you lots of new articles, free tutorials, and free downloads each week. We have not abandoned the ship or our commitment to you. We are building up the blog with neat ideas for you and the best thing about them being there is that they are easy to find again (unlike trying to search through a whole mess of emails to locate what you want). If you subscribe to the blog, you won't miss a thing!
If you don't mind, I feel that I need to be frank with you now. Scrap Girls is dealing with the same economic pressures that every other company (and family) is experiencing at the moment. We have to make tough decisions about what things we can do to keep us viable. We need you and your support so that we can continue to be here for you guys. It costs a lot of money to provide this forum and gallery, to send out all of those newsletters, to maintain the blog, to provide excellent customer service, to maintain our large catalog in the Boutique, to send you replacement files when you lose your hard drives, and to provide you free downloads six days a week. Without your support, Scrap Girls will cease to be and we will all lose this amazing community that we have built up. I hope you will understand about our need to simplify a little bit.
I pray that you continue to open the newsletters when they arrive and see what we have for you each day. I pray that you will check out our blog (please subscribe to it so that you won't miss things) and see the cool articles our team is writing for you. I pray that you will participate in the contests, challenges, and chats we provide and have fun with the prizes we hand out.
Please, continue to enjoy the free downloads that our team generously provides you. They get no compensation for providing them for you. They create them with the hopes that they will receive your support in return. When you buy their products, it encourages them and helps them to provide for their families.
We want you to know that appreciate everything that each of you has done for us over the years. We appreciate so much every time you choose to support Scrap Girls with your purchases in our Boutique. My hope is that with your continued financial support, Scrap Girls will be here for you for a very, very, very long time!
P.S. Our blog address is: http://scrapgirls.com/blog There are links to it all over the website, but I think people still don't notice it. :-)

I didn't say something before because I didn't think it was necessary. We've changed the newsletters so often over the years that I assumed that people wouldn't think that much about it. (Probably was in denial! LOL)
Gosh... even I got so I skimmed through it. I get so busy sometimes. It's always a bad sign when the CEO feels too busy to read her own newsletter, eh? Sometimes, I'm a little slow! I try to remember that if something is bothering me or annoying me, then I need to fix it because if it is bothering me, it has to be bothering TONS of people, but sometimes it takes me a little bit to wake up. We all get used to the status quo, right? Me, too.
But like I said... sometimes, I'm a little slow. :-)

Like Jaymee and Dot - I'll adjust. And, I understand all you wrote and thank you for explaining, Ro.. But, just wanted to note - for all those people you mentioned who spent lots of time and effort on those Newsletters -- there was at least ONE ScrapGirl (& I'm sure more) that was avidly and faithfully enjoying your efforts each day - they were not in vain.... I'm sorry it was burdensome, but please be assured I appreciated it! And, thanks!

I didn't notice a major change in the newsletters; seeing this thread took me by surprise. I only noticed that a couple of days ago there were no chats listed in the newsletter for I think the first time ever (since I've been a subscriber since, i think, 2006) . . . okay, several years at least.
I totally understand, but don't change drastically. The SG newsletter with the tutorials and daily freebies, along with the the high quality of the products here, are what made me decide in 2007 that SG was the place for me, and why I spent all my digi-scrappin' time here, almost exclusively, for years.
I've got to get going to a dentist appointment, but I'll be back soon!

For those of you not familiar with blogs, it's easier than you think to keep up with them. My personal preference is to subscribe to them in Google Reader. When I open Reader, I see at a glance which blogs I subscribe to are sporting new posts that day. So much easier than checking so many sites each day and I can easily click over to the sites as needed. But you can also subscribe by email (ScrapGirl's email signup form is about 1/3 down on the right hand side). Or you can follow them on Twitter & Facebook too. Lots of easy ways to keep up with the blog, and like Ro said, it will be so much easier to "find" things again. Google Reader has a great "search" feature that I use often.
And like Marilyn, the newsletter continues to be part of my early morning routine so please know your efforts were never in vain. But kudos to you for doing some painful pruning . . . always necessary before growth occurs!
Thanks, Dianne - I appreciate the blog explanation as part of my distress at the shortened NL is I really don't read blogs and can't get into them - so your tips were a help.
Also I like Jode's idea - that maybe there could be an article in the NL about getting around the blog? I find it not as inviting as a NL - but know that's partly because I'm not a blog reader, nor do I subscribe to FB, Twitter, etc.. Just an old-fashioned reader, here!

By Jack Elliott Jr./The Associated Press
JACKSON — Lillie B. Ayers, who became the lead plaintiff in Mississippi's college desegregation lawsuit after the death of her husband, has died at her home in Glen Allan. She was 85.
Henry Ayers, Lillie Ayers' son, says his mother died about 3 a.m. Sunday at her home in Glen Allan in Washington County. He says she died of complications related from bone cancer. Funeral services are pending.
Jake Ayers Sr. died in 1986, six years before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled higher education in Mississippi was segregated. Ayers filed the lawsuit against the state's university system in 1975. It cited inequitable funding for the state's three predominantly black universities.
A settlement was finally approved in 2004 when appeals were exhausted.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Each Fever Wyvern carries a unique and very deadly disease on the spines of its tail. To make up for a lack of physical strength, the dragons use this disease to their advantage by poisoning prey and fending off attackers. The illness will quickly render victims helpless before eventually killing them. A Fever will track its prey until the target can no longer move. Usually a solitary breed, these dragons will only come together during mating season, and will flare out the brightly colored sails along their wings to help attract potential mates. Although it has been observed that the wyverns are nocturnal, they will often pick an open spot of sunshine to curl up in and sleep as the day passes by.

The length of time required to complete the Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction degree depends on whether a student is full time or part time and how the student performs in classes. A full time student taking the minimum course load of 9 graduate credit hours could possibly complete the Master's degree in approximately 5 semesters (21 months) if the student registers for classes during the summer semester. A minimum of 36 graduate credit hours is required to complete the degree.
The Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction degree program has a limited number of graduate assistantships available. Assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis and are available for every academic semester of the year. Other aid may be available depending on your financial status. Visit (Web site) to learn what is available.
Students must apply for graduate assistantships through Southeastern's Human Resources web site. All employment, including graduate assistantships, must be completed online. The site is searchable for particular positions, e.g., graduate assistantships.
Assistantships for Teaching Assistants and Research Assistants begin at $9,000 for the academic year (fall and spring semesters). Students receiving an assistantship also receive a tuition waiver; this includes non-resident fees for students who are not legal residents of Louisiana. The financial package for a Louisiana resident student receiving an assistantship for fall and spring semester including a tuition waiver is valued just over $13,000.
Job responsibilities and tasks are different depending on which type of graduate assistantship, i.e., TA, or RA,a student receives. All students on graduate assistantships are required to work an average of 20 hours per week and must register for a minimum full course load of graduate credit hours, which is 9 hours per fall and spring semester. Students receiving a graduate assistantship in the summer are required to work an average of 20 hours per week and register for6 graduate credit hours of course work.
Individuals with a Masters in Education in Curriculum and Instruction are employed as general education teacher, reading specialist, or curriculum supervisor.
Starting salaries vary widely by experience, setting, region, and state. Approximate salary ranges are $38,000-$48,000.

- Description
This new image of the Earth at night is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012. It took 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earth's land surface and islands.
The nighttime view of Earth was made possible by the "day-night band" of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite. VIIRS detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as gas flares, auroras, wildfires, city lights, and reflected moonlight. In this case, auroras, fires, and other stray light have been removed to emphasize the city lights.
Named for satellite meteorology pioneer Verner Suomi, NPP flies over any given point on Earth's surface twice each day at roughly 1:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The spacecraft flies 824 kilometers (512 miles) above the surface in a polar orbit, circling the planet about 14 times a day. Suomi NPP sends its data once per orbit to a ground station in Svalbard, Norway, and continuously to local direct broadcast users distributed around the world. The mission is managed by NASA with operational support from NOAA and its Joint Polar Satellite System, which manages the satellite's ground system.

No sound, but honestly, it's just fun to watch anyway.
I don't generally love Anime, but this looks great and creates its own personality for Star Wars so different from the current animation out there, so if this were a regular show or an OVA, I'd totally watch it. The use of movement and setup really feels like a bold Star Wars expression. It's very impressive, and I'm glad to see fan passion out there deliver something so amazing - were I to have access to Lucas, I'd convince him to spearhead an OVA series out of this right away. It feels like the right time for it, we haven't had X-wing vs. TIE in a while, we haven't had a truly serious animated expression for Star Wars, and anime hasn't been doing much in the US lately, so a SW anime would just be so right.

It would be pretty neat to have, but putting out a third DVD just screams Lucas trying to milk more money from the fans. Why not just include its material on the second disc or already have the third disc included in the original set? I guess he needs a new Rolls Royce and a full set of fresh flannel shirts and wants us to foot the bill.

"Good dialogue and smooth editing are no match for a good YES man by your side, kid." - George Lucas
I don't see it as a way to milk more money from the fans, just GL trying to give the 'impossible-to-please' fans want they want.
It seems GL can't do anything without being accused of trying to milk the fans of more money.

Besides, thats Hasbros job! Right BB?
A third disk would be most interesting, sounds a bit like what JP III DVD is going to do. If you buy the 3-pack JP movies you get a fourth disc *either packed in, or send away* of something. But if you JUST buy the one disc I think you have to send away or they gip you...I'm unsure which

Check out my art at The Terrace Room!
Well... oddly enough- I wouldn't buy it. It would have to be pretty amazing and I think all the REALLY amazing stuff is already on disc two.
There's no way anyone can deny that it does seem that way. This news/rumor has only come out after the disc broke all first-week sales records and received tons of praise for its features. There was a lot of surprise that even though the VHS format has been out for ages, that the movie could still sell on DVD like it has. So why not just put it out with the original DVD set?Originally posted by bigbarada
It seems GL can't do anything without being accused of trying to milk the fans of more money.
After seeing the third release of the OG trilogy as a boxed set, especially with the tease of seeing footage/documentary on EP2, it appears that Lucas is just trying to milk fans for more money. If the sales strategy was to only rerelease the SE set for those who didn't get it the first time around, why not just release the OG SE set again and put the EP2 stuff on the web or in a separate format like a CD-ROM?
This supposed third disc is one of two things 1)Lucasfilm didn't put it in the 2-disc set because they thought nobody would want it or 2)they planned on leaving it out because they were going to release it in the future, say close to the EP2 release date. Either way they're screwing us. By now, Lucasfilm has to realize that whatever they would put out in terms of extra footage, deleted or documentary, would graciously be welcomes by the fans. They could do it all in one shot, like putting it on the second disc or including a third disc with the set, or over time to get as much $ out of the fans as possible. This is a business after all, and to think otherwise about their marketing strategy would be, IMO, naive. So of course when stuff like this happens repetitively, people are going to accuse Lucas of doing stuff like this just to make extra money.
Before anyone starts pointing fingers at other posters and making unfounded allegations on this site, I will say that if a third disc is marketed and I like it I will buy it. I imagine that the vast majority of the members of SSG would do the same, not to mention 90% the fans who own DVD players. I agree with master jedi that we are his -itch. I may not like the way things are marketed, but at least I recognize what's going on.
Let's just call a spade a spade and get on with it...
"I'm just a YES man trying to make my way in the universe." - Jango McCallum
"Good dialogue and smooth editing are no match for a good YES man by your side, kid." - George Lucas
Okay, let's say this is an attempt to milk the fans. Who's fault is it really? We've demonstrated time and again that we are willing to plunk down our money on pretty much anything Star Wars. Plus a majority of collectors show little discernment between good, quality product and worthless crap. I think Lucas has learned over the years that SW fans will buy just about anything with the Star Wars label (even Star Wars dog food sold out in the OT days ), although the Ep1 glut did almost killed the phenomenon.
Fortunately, after said Ep1 glut, many fans have become much more discriminating and choose their purchases more carefully.
I believe GL has always tries to sell only quality merchandise to the public, but in his neverending quest to finance his creative freedom mucho garbage has slipped through the cracks.
Maybe a third DVD is a genuine effort to give the fans "what they want", maybe it's greed. Maybe a little of both. Even so, GL didn't invent the art of cashing in, remember the X-Men DVD? They release a plain vanilla version first then a deluxe version six months later?
Cosumers have become accustomed to shady business practices in all products. So we just have to become smarter comsumers. If you feel that GL is secretly laughing at you as you buy the rumored extra Ep1 DVD, then you probably should hold off until you at least watch it first.
Just remember, if you point your finger at GL for milking the fans you still have three fingers pointing back at you.
Me, I don't even have the Ep1 DVD yet, so I'll probably hold off now to see if they release a Deluxe version with the new stuff.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
If it has the Samuel L Jackson-hosted From Star Wars to Star Wars: The History of ILM that aired on Fox sometime after the theatrical release, I'll be first in line for it.
That's my jacket!
I'm pretty harsh with Lucas, but I don't think this is him milking for $$$, I think this is most likely a glaring error that he didn't think people would notice (that being the absence of so much other stuff), and when they immediately did, the suggestion for a 3rd disc came about. Lucas is a billionaire thanks to Star Wars, he could make over a HUNDRED Star Wars movies that totally flopped and still be a rich man, I don't see him doing this because of the cash issue.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Medtronic has stepped up efforts to strengthen its reach
Medtronic is putting in place plans to grow its emerging markets' revenue to 20 percent of the overall revenue in the next few years. In FY'12, the US-headquartered medical devices company recorded 21 percent growth rate in the emerging markets. It is looking to better the figure this fiscal with significant investments in countries such as China and India.
The broad opportunities are in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and spine conditions. China and India are significant markets in Asia for the company, given the size of their populations and the untapped markets. "Our biggest near-term opportunity in emerging markets is in our existing therapies, which primarily address the premium segment. To provide some perspective, just improving penetration of these therapies in emerging markets to levels similar to those in developed markets represents over $5 billion in annual opportunity," said Medtronic in an email response to BioSpectrum.
In the longer term, the value segment is an additional opportunity. "We are laying the necessary groundwork to be the leaders in the emerging value segment with new business models and our investments in emerging market infrastructure," stated the company.
Scaling the Great Wall of China
With globalization as a key focus area, Medtronic has taken several steps to expand its reach. In the Asia Pacific region, its major focus this year has been the China market with its huge untapped potential. Most recently, it announced the acquisition of China Kanghui Holdings, one of China's leading orthopedic companies with products in trauma, spine and surgical instrumentation.

Have yet to see the blue or green pack, or the Jedi 3-pack.
Stopped off at Spotsylvania Mall this evening and found a Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker at KB Toys. The was only one on the shelf and if you saw the shape of the card you'd know why. As bad as I wanted to get something new I decided to leave this one behind.
Nothing new at the Fredericksburg TRU or Target.

What is the future of the "Jablonski Rule" in Wisconsin?
ONALASKA, Wis. - It's a meeting these Avalanche seniors will never forget.
"Coach sat us down and told us I got some bad news to tell you guys," Avalanche senior Jack Anderholm said.
"I got a little emotional," said Avalanche senior Ryan Weber.
"Then all of a sudden, he dropped the bomb and said yeah, we're out of the playoffs," said Anderholm.
The Aquinas/Holmen Co-op is one of six teams in Wisconsin disqualified from the playoffs for a rule that began in 1987: three checking from behind penalties equals a postseason disqualification.
"There's definitely no place for that in the game, but there definitely needs to be a change in the rule," Anderholm said.
"It needs to be enforced, but I don't think it should be enforced where it penalizes the team," said Weber.
But if teams aren't punished, what is the best way to make the game safer?18523098
"Look at the Minnesota rule. That would be our first choice," Avalanche Head Coach Tim Franzini said.
The MSHSL aims to penalize individuals as opposed to teams. Players get an immediate ejection for that game and the next on their first penalty. They get a four game suspension for their second strike. Third strike: that player is done for the year.
If not the Minnesota penalty, Franzini proposes increasing the number from three to five or six for a team playoff disqualification. He says a rule that was created to protect the safety of players instead protects teams that are on the verge of getting its third strike.
Officials knew we had two and no matter what happened, they weren't going to call a check from behind in that game," Franzini said. That means the rule is flawed. They weren't protecting the kids that night. They were looking out and trying to protect us.
The WIAA defends its policy by pointing to soccer. Twenty-four yellow cards over the course of a season disqualifies a team from the playoffs.
"Soccer has red cards and yellow cards as well that affect a team," said WIAA Associate Director Tom Shafranski.
"Different sports, different paces, a lot more physical in hockey," Weber said.
The WIAA says it will listen to proposals as to how to modify its rule. Franzini says he is drafting a letter with his recommendations. But that won't change anything for this season.
"One of our goals was to win conference, we accomplished that. One of our goals was to be a top 3 seed, we accomplished that. Our next goal was to win sectional and to represent sectional at state, and that got taken away from us," Franzini said.

By now, most everyone knows that the B-wings are on clearance. I had tried to take back an old receipt the other day to get a price adjustment.
Apparently, it is Target's policy that they can't do a price adjustment after 14 days. Ok, fine,.... you wanna play games, I'll just bring back the ones I bought and get a refund at full price, and then repurchase them at clearance ($27.90).
After talking with the manager for a minute when he opened the doors this morning, he said that I could do that, but then would have to wait for them to be put back out on the shelf. Ok, fine. If we need to play that game, then I'll just buy a couple of them that are on the shelf right now and then return them with my old receipt so that I can keep the ones in nice boxes that I already have without waiting around for you guys to put mine back out.
So, that's what I did. And it worked out even better than I had anticipated......
When I picked out 2 to buy today to return later, one of the B-wings had a price tag of just $1.90. The DPCI number on the clearance sticker was correct, so they gave it to me at that price. My guess is that there was some sort of malfunction with the pricing gun, but, hey, it works out fine to me! I certainly don't mind saving $26 on the darned thing, especially if you guys are making it so hard to get them at the clearance price.
And just to make sure I didn't get any further hassle, I decided to wait til tomorrow to return the ones I just bought today on clearance for the full price (after I carefully remove the clearance stickers).
So, if anyone out there is picking these guys up, check the sticker price carefully. Maybe you can pick one up for just $2 like I did!!

By Brad Locke and Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Every seven days, college football teaches us a little more about its teams, and Week 9 is big for Mississippi State.
Having climbed to No. 13 in the rankings, the Bulldogs (7-0, 3-0 SEC) will assess themselves against top-flight competition for the first time when they visit No. 1 Alabama on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa (7:30, ESPN).
"I can't speak for the Alabama side of things, but for our guys, they wanted to be in this position and play in this game and expected coming into this season that this is where we would be," MSU coach Dan Mullen said Sunday afternoon.
"In the fourth year, a lot of these guys have been in this program for a while. They wanted the opportunity to go compete for an SEC championship, and to do so you had to get to this game where we are, and we've been able to do that so far."
Alabama opened as a 24-point favorite, and that could be partly due to the schedule MSU has played. According to USA Today's Sagarin ratings, MSU's schedule ranks 119th in the country; Alabama's ranks 26th.
The combined record of Jackson State, Troy, South Alabama and Middle Tennessee – the Bulldogs' non-conference opponents – is 14-15.
The combined league mark of the three SEC teams MSU has faced: 0-14.
"We've been tested a bunch," Mullen said. "We've had some pretty close games during the season. But, you know, Alabama will be the best team we've played so far, but I guess anybody that plays them will say that about them since they're the best team in the country right now."
Coming off Saturday night's 45-3 win over Middle Tennessee, MSU closes with SEC foes who have a combined record of 26-10 and will face ranked opponents the next three weeks – Texas A&M and LSU following this week's game against Alabama.
After an open date, Ole Miss has five games to win two to gain bowl eligibility. That quest begins Saturday morning against Arkansas in Little Rock.
The Rebels (4-3, 1-2 SEC) face an Arkansas team gaining in confidence and health.
Razorbacks rise
The struggles for the Razorbacks, once mentioned on the fringe of the national championship conversation, have been well-documented.
Four straight losses followed a season-opening win over Jacksonville State, but Arkansas has won two straight as they prepare to meet the Rebels.
The Razorbacks stopped the bleeding with a win at Auburn and a win in Fayetteville against Kentucky.
Earlier this season the Arkansas defense was giving up 510 yards a game. The Razorbacks have trimmed that number to 434.57 yards a game, but that still ranks them No. 89 in America in total defense, No. 13 in the SEC.
Arkansas will add another weapon for quarterback Tyler Wilson this week when it welcomes back tight end Chris Gragg.
While he was out injured, the Razorbacks leaned heavily on Cobi Hamilton among their receivers.
Hamilton is averaging 107.71 receiving yards a game, compared to 36.71 yards a game for his closest teammate in that category.

A World You Never Knew Existed
If you are like me, and most Americans – and dare I say, most Westerners as well – you never knew about the major Arab subculture in South America.
And that's just Chile. Argentina and Brazil and have more!
Europe has about 5+ million Arabs [most Euro-Muslims are not Arab] in a continent of 740 Million people, and yet we hear nothing but panic.
Egads! Eurabia! The Arabs are coming! The Arabs are coming!
What if I were to tell you that South America alone has 25+ Million Arabs, most of whom are assimilated, Christians, and getting along quite well in their respective countries.
(Click Here) to see Arab populations broken down by country.
Yes! It is true.
What did South America do that was so right; and what can we learn from them.
Put aside your pre-conceived notions, and be prepared for a shock.
There might be a possible solution to the Mideast Problem which can be found in Latin America.

beware the ides of march, and openldap2: Be warned, woody users: do not upgrade to the version of OpenLDAP from
backports.org. I did so on tycho,
a machine I maintain, and about an hour later, the other people who use
the machine started complaining that they couldn't log in. Myself and
the other admins have /etc/passwd logins, but everyone else was LDAP.
No-one with LDAP could log in.
That's because our LDAP database was now magically empty. Empty. No amount of dpkg-reconfigure'ing could even convince it to add an admin user to the database. I removed the relevant section from my sources.list, spat on the ground, and swore never to use it again. Stick with the version in woody. (09:44 | #)

openldap resolved - yay planet debian: With the able assistance of nobse, I resolved the OpenLDAP issue.
OpenLDAP 2.1 is quite strict in what it accepts now, and you can't have
an object being both an inetOrgPerson and an account (but posixAccount
is OK). I had all the users as being both, so the upgrade errored out,
with a one-line error, which was just line noise in a dist-upgrade to a
few backports.org packages - the postinst should, IMO, error out if the
upgrade fails.
Thanks again to Norbert for chasing this one up - you rock, dude! :) Planet Debian hasn't even been alive a couple of days and it's already been immensely useful. (13:00 | #)

This St Francis is an important masterpiece by Caravaggio, and was discovered surprisingly recently. Until a few months ago, it was considered by most scholars to be the copy of a very similar painting in the church of Santa Maria della Concezione in Rome, entrusted to the order of Capuchins, followers of the rule of St Francis, the patron saint of Italy.
Following the restoration carried out simultaneously on the two versions of St Francis , and after x-ray and reflectographic examinations had been made on this occasion, it was possible to establish with certainty that the canvas in the church of Carpineto, which was believed to be a copy, is without doubt the original, while the painting in Santa Maria della Concezione must therefore be considered as a copy, even though splendidly made and probably the work of one of Caravaggio's close followers: possibly Bartolomeo Manfredi.
This amazing discovery is based mainly on two clues: the first is the presence in the painting on display of afterthoughts — substantial changes made by the painter during his work — while the version in the church of the Capuchins presents no modifications, as is normally the case in copies, which repeat an existing original. The second can be seen by studying the technical features of Caravaggio's style, especially the way in which he built up the shadows, and the method he used for preparation, which can be seen in the Carpineto painting but not in that of Santa Maria della Concezione.
Francis, who was born in Assisi in 1182, was the son of a rich cloth merchant. He lived an early life of ease, dedicated to pleasure and dissipation. After long spiritual torment, which started when he worked to assist lepers and, through the Gospel, when he discovered the teachings of Christ as a rule of life, he abandoned his carefree life, divested himself of all his worldly goods and, now in total poverty, began to preach universal brotherhood. A brotherhood which he put into practice mainly by living with the poor and the derelict, but which extended to all nature, no things excepted, created in the image of God.

Just sayin'.......
Stan b & Elvis
You guys are just equal and opposite to my nutty extreme liberal friends. Much more exclsionary, though.
What is the fascination? I have beliefs that I am not willing to share here. Not to be rude, but its none of anyone's business, whom I don't choose toshare it with! Even when I espouse conservative ideas, I get attacked for them because I've already been labeled by the brainchilds here.
So have a nice day...lets move the conversation on.
How 'bout the freedom protesters in Egypt? I pray they achieve their goals of freedom, in a peaceful manner.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
So comes now the Great Independant with this quote:
"That is a major reason why the republican party caved in on itself in 06 and 08, why there is a tea party, and why if they're not careful, they will continue to fracture and lose viability. Intolerance of independent thought. As disorganized as the democrats seem to be most of the time, they have figured out how to accommodate a wide latitude of ideologies. That is why many independent voters, being shunned and called "left wing independents", chose to side with the democrats last election. Generally, they may not be happy with the democratic caucus, but were pushed to that side nonetheless by narrow minded republicans."
That's NOT an independant view...it's an ignorant view. Republicans aren't pushing this vast sea of open-minded 'good-guys' under the bus...you, Obama, and the sycophantic toadies in the MSP are doing that.
With your open-jawed reverence for the likes of Anderson Cooper, and those two clowns on the comedy channel, coupled with backing that unAmerican Soros jerk, it's hard to keep an "open mind" about your beliefs. Every chance you get, you undermine the conservative beliefs of America, the Founders, the Constitution, with some wasted view of patriotism that would make any of the 60's batch of hippies proud to call you their brother.
You just haven't figured out where you belong, so you vacillate between what you think might sound good, and what might make everyone think you are above the average, and would never sink to just the basic beliefs of a true hard working TEA party activist. Your arrogance couldn't possibly allow you to be anything but an independant. Sadly, you can't claim that view either, because you and everyone else knows it's phoney.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
M&K, thank you for reminding me, I've wasted enough time in another boring, useless thread. They all start out good, then you and your ilk take over with the romper room antics.
Have a wonderful weekend, while some of us are working!
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
Why do you insist on trying to stir things up?
That's not why we're here, is it?
Why don't we stick to debating and sharing ideas, and skip the goading and taunting.
Gibson is gone. I think we saw what a negative influence such a catalyst can have. While I do get passionate on certian issues, I try not to call anyone here names or insult them personally. While I'm not perfect, I do not go out of my way to taunt people into personal grudges.
Again, I enjoy sharing ideas, even butting heads in a constructive manner, and I don't want to appear rude, but if you're just going to taunt and try to stir up hard feelings, then I'm choosing not to play that game.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
Time to bring this one back
