May want to try this:Add a 10uF cap between the reset pin and ground on the Uno board.
Hi,These EMC problems are hard to debug!Here's some possible help from http://arduino-info.infohttp://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/RelayIsolationI think you need transient suppression across that solenoid coil. A MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) would be good. A series combination of resistor-capacitor may work. Try .1 uf (rated at 400V or more) in series with 47 ohms to start...
I think you're down to physical separation between those power / solenoid devices, and possible shielding of the cables that go to Arduino.Solenoids are, by definition, large inductors and when they are disconnected there is energy that has to go somewhere. MOV / R/C suppression across the solenoid is the usual answer. Also, you might try switching the solenoid with an optically-isolated zero-crossing TRIAC type solid state relay (like these: http://goo.gl/RbCNb). But sometimes the inductance of the solenoid make the voltage a current not be in phase. These should work at the 24VAC level OK with most solenoids. People have beat these problems in lots of automated machinery. The physical layout and shielding are often important.Let us know how you're doing!DISCLAIMER: Mentioned stuff from my own shop...
/* Water Controller This system controls water flow with 1 pump, 3 Water Solenoids, 2 water tanks, 2 water level float switches, and 2 manual switches. Conditions are set so that the pump is only feeding one source at any given time; to not choke the water supply or overload the pump. Only the manual switch can activate it's solenoid to bring water in as it is feeding from one of the tanks. If two switches are low at the same time the system will hold the others until the first one is high again.

Côte d'Ivoire: The emergency is not yet over
The humanitarian crisis in Côte d'Ivoire needs an urgent boost in international funding, the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator said on Wednesday, during a European tour to draw more attention to the country's fragile recovery.
More than 194,000 people are internally displaced, and more than 187,000 remain in neighbouring countries, following widespread post-electoral violence late last year and early this year. Displaced Ivorians have limited access to basic social services, including education, healthcare, water, sanitation and food.
"The end of the political and military crisis in Côte d'Ivoire does not mean the end of the humanitarian crisis," said Ndolamb Ngokwey in Geneva, during a week-long mission to London, Geneva, Paris and Brussels. "It is very important to help Ivorian IDPs and refugees return home in dignity, and in an atmosphere of security."
Many people want to return, and have already begun to do so in significant numbers, but there is still a need to rebuild houses destroyed during the fighting, ensure sufficient food supplies and security. A failure to deal with their needs could exacerbate social tensions, and dissuade more people from returning.
The Appeal for Côte d'Ivoire is currently one of the least funded humanitarian crises in the world, with only US$92m (31 per cent) secured of a needed $292m.
"It's time to act before it's too late," said Mr Ngokwey, adding that the international community should not allow the crisis to become "silent, invisible and forgotten".

Fred Greenstein honored for work in political psychology
Posted November 22, 2000; 10:13 p.m.
Professor Fred I. Greenstein has received the Lasswell Award from the International Society of Political Psychology for his contributions to the field over many years.
The society cited Greenstein for having built "new roads rather than following the beaten paths," beginning with his doctoral dissertation in the late 1950s and continuing through publication of his new book, The Presidential Difference, this year.
The award honors Greenstein for his work in several areas of political psychology: the political socialization of children, personality and politics, and presidential leadership style.
"His work is not only marked by theoretical sophistication, creativity, and careful attention to evidence, but is also characterized by a sharp clarity of articulation that makes it accessible to both the scholarly and policy communities, thus contributing to a gap-bridging dialogue between the two communities," the citation states.

Nothing like starting a a six game road trip with your best pitcher on the mound. Jered Weaver started and delivered, overcoming a 30 minute rain delay to beat the White Sox 4-3. Weaver is pitching as well as any big name in baseball. Tonight he went 7 innings, allowing only 2 earned runs to lower his ERA to 1.30.

Submission + - ESPN unloads new design on April 1st, everyone wishes it was a joke (go.com)
A fluid lay-out is page that is user-agent agnostic and simply reorganizes the page based on the dimensions of the browser window. You can preview the mobile page by simply shrinking the browser window.
Is it me or is the combo of a fluid layout + ajax calls ruining web browsing? It takes 8 seconds to use CNN.com because the pop-in from AJAX calls results in a constant reorganization of the site. Yahoo.com requires that I refresh it TWICE in order to see the latest news, an issue that is made worse by Chrome on Android forcing you to stop the page before you can refresh it (menu button, stop, menu button, refresh, menu button, stop, menu button, refresh). theonion.com was horrendous when it first switched to the fluid layout; its still bad but at least the auto-playing video ads (with sound) at the bottom of the page are gone, and the back button seems to work properly now. There's nothing wrong with the idea of a fluid lay-out, but the execution of it always seems to be terrible.

Comparative OrthopaedicsOverview
The Comparative Orthopaedics Laboratory at Cornell University was founded in 1991 with the specific mission to foster and expand multidisciplinary research into orthopedic problems of animals and man. The laboratory provides a focus point for the dedicated study of the basic mechanisms of orthopedic diseases and the development of innovative targeted therapeutic measures. The primary species of interest are the equine and human athlete. Results of studies involving the cause and treatment of diseases in the horse have been directly applied to similar syndromes in man and companion animal species. Examples include the development of cartilage cell transplantation for acute joint injuries in the horse. Research done by the Comparative Orthopaedics Laboratory allowed the continued application of cartilage cell transplantation to the human knee; by early 2004 over 10,000 cartilage cell transplantation procedures had been performed in the United States using techniques validated by the laboratory. Likewise, enhanced cartilage cell transplantation procedures have benefited over 120 horses with acute joint injuries. For shoulder injuries, a study of rotator cuff fixation techniques has paved the way for better surgical repair in people and was recognized by the American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons through the Neer Award for research excellence.

Settlement: 1827–50
Following the settlement of the Swan River Colony original voices developed, expressing their pride in the development of the land and their response to the characteristic sparkling light, unique vegetation and broad expanses of water in the West. These artists were talented amateurs, painting in watercolour a relatively easily transportable medium. Practical necessity meant that furniture was produced in the colony from the early days, either by the settlers themselves, or by professional cabinet makers.

The law in Ontario is a little iffy on this… or not.
Bicycle passengers
(2) No person riding on a bicycle designed for carrying one person only shall carry any other person thereon. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 178 (2).
So then, you can only have two people on a bicycle that is intended for two passengers. Does that only mean tandems or bicycles with child seats? One of my bikes has a large rear rack that can comfortably seat an adult, but does it have to be plastic with a seat belt to be considered a seat? If the passenger is an adult must my bicycle accommodate them with pedals and a saddle?
Either way, turns out Cathryn and I need to practice "the hop" on our shared rides on my bicycle. We're pretty good at starting from a standstill, but this will seriously up our game.

Leaf Links
Redirected from Leaf Links Country Club
this wiki
Leaf Links is a golf course in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories based on a chain of islands in Vice City.
Located just west of Vice Beach, it is surrounded by water and condominiums, and is a major attraction for the wealthy. Golfers are constantly seen in the area. Caddies spawn around the course, and a Comet spawns outside the building on the driveway. Two Patrol Invest Group guards stand at the entrance.
Firearms and other weapons (with the exception of brass knuckles) are not permitted on the course, and a metal-detector is located at the entrance, which automatically strips all weapons from the player and leaves them to be collected outside. Unfortunately, if the player has more than 6 weapons with him/her, only 6 of those weapons will be there.
However, this can be bypassed by climbing onto a high enough vehicle and jumping over the hedge. In the PS2 version of Vice City Stories the player can simply jump over one of the fences to the left or right of the entrance. (It's also possible to bypass the security gate by jumping a vehicle on to the grounds, or swimming/taking a watercraft to one of the boat docks.
- The real-life counterpart to Leaf Links may be the Indian Creek Country Club.
Prominent Appearances in Missions
GTA Vice City
GTA Vice City Stories
- The name "Leaf Links" may be a parody of Leith Links, a park in Edinburgh, where Vice City's creators, Rockstar North are located, and where the game of golf originated.
- If you want to enter the course without stripping your weapons, of course, you can fly a helicopter here. If you were in Leaf Links, it is hard to navigate the place, as there are many divided islands. If you go to the southern island of this place it is even harder to return to Vice Point or Little Haiti, as there is a wooden bridge.
- However, you can take a shorter time by jumping on the bridge, as the bridge's wall is low enough for you to jump. there is a glitch were instead of golf carts a Cabbie may appear driving around on the course in GTA: Vice City.
- In one of the development drawings for Vice City, there was no Leaf Links.

Gov. Rendell is still an Eagles fan, but he told the website Politico that he intends to root for Donovan McNabb and the Redskins in the playoffs – because he doesn't expect the Birds to make it without their longtime quarterback.
"They're going to be in it, and we're not," Rendell told the site's Ken Vogel, according to a blog post from fellow Politico writer Ben Smith.
The comment came at the end of an interview about the tea-party. Rendell was asked about his thoughts on the McNabb trade.
"It's be careful what you wish for," the former Philadelphia mayor said.
He added, "I'll tell you this, Donovan's going to be great for the Redskins."
Smith wrote that the comments are "another sign that Ed Rendell has become even more unencumbered by political considerations during his waning months in office." He is barred by term limits from running again for governor, almost certainly ending his elective political career in Pennsylvania.

(alendronate sodium) Tablets
FOSAMAX (alendronate sodium) is a bisphosphonate that acts as a specific inhibitor of osteoclastmediated bone resorption. Bisphosphonates are synthetic analogs of pyrophosphate that bind to the hydroxyapatite found in bone.
Alendronate sodium is chemically described as (4-amino-1-hydroxybutylidene) bisphosphonic acid monosodium salt trihydrate.
The empirical formula of alendronate sodium is C4H12NNaO7P2 •3H2O and its formula weight is 325.12. The structural formula is:
Alendronate sodium is a white, crystalline, nonhygroscopic powder. It is soluble in water, very slightly soluble in alcohol, and practically insoluble in chloroform.
FOSAMAX tablets for oral administration contain 91.37 mg of alendronate monosodium salt trihydrate, which is the molar equivalent of 70 mg of free acid, and the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, anhydrous lactose, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate.
What are the possible side effects of alendronate (Binosto, Fosamax)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using alendronate and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- chest pain;
- difficulty or pain when swallowing;
- pain or burning under the ribs or in the back;
- severe heartburn, burning pain in your upper stomach, or coughing up blood;
- new or worsening heartburn;
- fever, body aches, flu symptoms;
- severe joint, bone, or muscle...

What are the precautions when taking alendronate sodium (Fosamax)?
Before taking alendronate, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other bisphosphonates; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: disorders of the esophagus (such as esophageal stricture or achalasia), trouble swallowing, trouble standing or sitting upright for at least 30 minutes, low calcium levels, kidney problems, stomach/intestinal disorders (such as ulcers).
Some people taking alendronate may have serious jawbone problems. Your doctor should check your mouth before you start this medication. Tell your dentist...

I think that mostly the car dealers are the ones benefiting form the whole thing. They are selling cars, but you know good and well that probably half of the money is being stolen by the dealers on the trade in. Car dealers tend to be a honest bunch you know.

I was and am definately not in favor of Cash for Clunkers. That said, it has probably done more to stimulate the economy than all the programs in the Porkulus package combined...and the effects of it were immediate and widespread. If they were smart they'd pull money out of the Porkulus program and use it to satisfy the Cash for Clunkers demand. And since they're dead set on mortgaging our future to buy our way out of recession now then they oughta convert more of the Porkulus package into similar Cash for... programs. Cash for Old Boats. Cash for Old Decoys. Cash for Washed up Retrievers. Cash for Dysplastic Dogs. etc.

Also to note ... increased car sales = a good chunk of change into State revenues from sales tax.
And what about cash incentives for other capital investments for conserving energy? Upgrading a heating/cooling system? There is a Federal 30% tax credit for solar and wind additions ... but even taking out old "clunker" oil and gas furnaces would be a big help. There are natural gas furnaces that are 98% efficient, but they are considerably more expensive than those less efficient. Why not give people the "difference" if they install the more expensive, but about 12% more efficient furnace?
I guess they saw one thing from this ... money talks ... I'm sure you all know the rest of that phrase

Here is the deal...
The Goobs set aside 1 billion for C for C, figuring on average that would cover 250,000 new vehicle sales. The program started on 7/24 and dealers had already delivered 25,000 units with an estimated 20,000 deals still in progress. The goobs got scared that by the end of the weekend that they would go over the 250,000 units. Basically, they paniced and pulled the plug on the incentives for 14 hours. I would expect all the original 1 billion gone by the 15th of August.
The clunkers, when taken in by the dealerships must have the engines perminently frozen by running a chemical in them for 20 minutes. Then, the non-drivable clunker is sold to a scarp yard and that scrap money goes back to the goobs.
To qualify;
Must prove insurance and ownership of the clunker for one year.
Must be a 1985 or newer model.
The new vehicle must get better than 22 mpg's
The clunker must get 17 mpg's or less.
The goobs are promising the dealers that they will get thier money in less than 30 days(3,500-4,500 depending on the clunker).
I think the panic came when the goobs realized that they would have to send actual money to the dealers and not just some try of paper credit.

http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?...edits.tx_index. Also, check with your local utilities and state energy offices. They have rebates in addition to the federal ones sometimes. There are all sorts of rebates, etc, for changing heating systems, upgrading refrigerators, etc. I even think much of this stuff originated or was increased under a previous administration. Imagine that.
Yes, I have checked this out. Pennsylvania is not giving any credits for anything except geothermal systems, which, in these parts would cost a minimum of $25K. Also there are some rebates for schools and municipal buildings, but not as much for consumers.
I sort of wonder why the $4500 rebate thing is working so well. It has been common for local dealers to offer the same thing at $3000. Also more effective with cars because of their shorter life span. If someone put in a new heating system 3 years ago, they expect it to last 15 or 20 years, so the incentive to replace it would have to be greater.

Man posts surveillance videos online after bike stolen
Bike stolen from downtown Madison parking garage
MADISON, Wis. - A mountain bike was stolen from a parking garage in downtown Madison on Sunday, and the theft was caught on surveillance video.
By Thursday morning, hundreds of people had already watched the surveillance video John Kincaid posted after his stepson's bike was stolen around 11 a.m. Sunday from a parking garage at 10 E. Doty St.
After reporting the incident to Madison police, Kincaid channeled his frustration into action and uploaded the video to several websites, including YouTube. Using his knowledge of computer software, he managed to figure out the man in the video is around 5 feet 9 inches tall.
"I challenge anybody to look at that video and not get really frustrated with somebody just walking off with a $500 bike," Kincaid said. "I kind of want the other people who park here to see this video, too, because he was scoping out which had the weakest lock and I guess we won."
Madison police said they don't have the resources to constantly monitor websites for stolen items, so it's helpful when a victim can provide them with information.
"We want to be involved not only for your safety, but we want to find justice for the stolen bike," said Madison Police Lt. Dave McCaw.
McCaw said police will work any leads they receive. He said the department has also sent plainclothes police officers to assist in recovering stolen items.19420946
While police appreciate the information, they don't want people to be victimized again, so they urged citizens not to confront a suspect on their own.
McCaw said he's optimistic about Kincaid's case.
"Hopefully someone does come forward with the information this guy shared, and says, 'I know who this person is,' and we can move forward," McCaw said.
Kincaid has purchased new locks for his other bikes. He said he hopes someone will recognize the man in the video.
"This is the best option I have," Kincaid said. "There are a lot of people online in downtown Madison. We're getting a lot of views of the video online and Craigslist. I really just want the bike back. This person can't just walk off with a bike."
Kincaid is offering a reward that leads to the identity of the person on the video or for the bike's safe return.
Madison police also recommend that people register their bikes, so if police find a stolen bike the owner can prove it's his or hers.

Arrive in Ushuaia anytime today, with the day free to relax or experience the town and surroundings on your own. Enjoy the Argentinean markets and savory cuisine that make Patagonia famous as you explore the southernmost town in the world. Highlights of Ushuaia include an award-winning museum and trips to nearby Tierra del Fuego National Park and its popular "Train at the End of the World".
Arrive at the ship in the afternoon to be greeted by your Expedition Team and ship's officers at a safety and orientation briefing followed by the captain's welcome dinner. Watch the city lights fade in the fresh night air as you sail seaward.
Providing plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities, birds such as albatrosses, prions and petrels follow in the ship's wake as you sail south. Your Expedition Team will be on deck as well, looking for whales and dolphins often seen in the area. Your experts will begin the presentations with informative and entertaining lectures on the wildlife, history, and geology of The Falkland Islands and Southern Ocean. Helpful briefings on environmental regulations and expedition safety will also be held in the comfortable lecture hall.
The westernmost settled outposts in the Falklands are remote farms that have been family-owned for six and seven generations. The sheep graze alongside albatross colonies and Rockhopper, King, and Macaroni penguin rookeries while Striated Caracaras patrol overhead and Upland Geese graze at the water's edge. A visit to one of these homesteads often includes an invitation for cakes and a cup of tea.
A British outpost, chosen for its sheltered harbor and access to abundant fresh water and peat for fuel, Stanley is easy to discover on foot as most shops and services are centered on the port. The museum, plenty of shops with locally made wool items and Stanley's lively pubs are interesting attractions. It is possible to experience the wildlife of the Falklands from the town including sea lions and Peale's and Commerson's Dolphins in the harbor or bird life in nearby Gypsy Cove.
Enjoy this time to prepare for the next leg of your voyage. Keep an eye out as from the deck, with plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting as you make your way east across the Antarctic Convergence and officially enter Antarctic waters. Ship board presentations will continue featuring the exciting history and abundant wildlife of South Georgia.
South Georgia's unique position inside the Antarctic Convergence, yet outside the limit of the yearly sea ice, makes this 3,755 square kilometer island home to tens of millions of breeding penguins, seals, and seabirds. Magnificent mountain scenery, glaciers galore, a rugged coastline punctuated with icebergs, a rich historical tapestry, and an astounding array of wildlife provide an awe-inspiring backdrop as you travel down South Georgia's leeward coast. Landing sites feature huge elephant seals, fur seals, Macaroni penguins, albatross, petrels, skuas, and gulls. King penguins, from fuzzy little chicks to fattened adults, can be seen in the hundreds of thousands. Visit historic Grytviken whaling station, home of the whaling museum, Norwegian seaman's church, the active British Antarctic Survey station plus the tiny graveyard where the great Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton is buried.
Head farther south, and continue with informative presentations and wildlife sightings. Watch as the icebergs become more plentiful as you make your way to the Antarctic Peninsula.
The white continent stretches before you, a land of extremes and extreme beauty. Your expedition leader and captain will create a flexible itinerary based on weather, ice, and opportunities for wildlife viewing. The route will focus on the most scenic bays and channels of the Peninsula with stops at penguin rookeries, seal wallows, bird colonies and whale feeding areas, as well as sites of historic and scientific interest. The trip may include picturesque Neko Harbor, sheltered Paradise Harbor, the humpback whale frequented Wilhelmina Bay, the striking Lemaire Channel, the wildlife-filled Penola Channel, or the majestic Neumayer Channel. You may stop at an active scientific base such as Poland's Arctowksi or Ukraine's Vernadskiy, as well as an historic base such as U.K.'s Port Lockroy or Wordie House. Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo Penguins abound, and Weddell, crabeater and elephant seals haul out of the sea to rest along with predatory leopard seals and the aggressive Antarctic fur seal. Minke, humpback and orca whales are frequent visitors of this region and provide many opportunities for whale sightings.
Your lecture series and wildlife sightings with continue as you sail to Ushuaia and reflect on beautiful Antarctica and its wild inhabitants. Arrive at Ushuaia in the early morning hours.
This morning, disembark in Ushuaia, the world's southernmost town, to catch flights homeward or continue on with your adventure.

Karate Flashback #1: Glaube Feitosa vs. Hajime Kazumi
- Written by Dave Walsh
When the word "karate" is mentioned in casual conversation, most fight fans have a tendency to roll their eyes. Traditional arts get a significant amount of disrespect in the contemporary combat sports community, and much of the scepticism is deserved. However, all too often these same individuals are so quick to praise the values of "K-1 Level Striking," unaware that K-1 itself was founded by the creator of Seidokaikan Karate, Kazuyoshi Ishii.
Seidokaikan is one of the many disciplines of Knockdown Rules Karate that branches from Kyokushin. From under the Kyokushin umbrella emerged fighters like Andy Hug, Semmy Schilt, Sam Greco, Musashi, Masaaki Satake, Francisco Filho, and the fighter I'm featuring in this video- Glaube Feitosa.
Every week, I would like to take a closer look at Karatekas that helped influence the landscape of kickboxing. While all the above named athletes made a successful transition to K-1 in the 1990's, many great fighters remained in Kyokushin to compete under full contact rules for the entireity of their careers. Hajime Kazumi is such an individual.
Hajime Kazumi is one of the most famous Kyokushin practioners in Japan, and that's saying something. He is the 2nd World Tournament Heavyweight champion, and has captured six All Japan Championships. In this match, Kazumi takes on future K-1 star Glaube Feitosa. Feitosa is widely regarded as one of the best fighters in K-1 to never earn a championship, with wins over Ruslan Karaev, Musashi, and Alistair Overeem.


text: Zack Martin sounds like a great fit for us. He can play the Tackle or Guard spot and he dominated at the Senior Bowl. We could use a high character guy like this. I know O-lineman are not sexy pics but we have to get Tanny some help. He is getting sacked way too much. We can also sign a free agent O-lineman and then go get a Tight End, RB and some defensive help.

High Renaissance
The period from the late 1490s to the 1520s, known as the High Renaissance, is regarded as one of the greatest in the history of art. The experiments and innovations of early the Renaissance achieved their pinnacle, especially in Florence, Venice and Rome. Artists prized harmony and proportion as ideal values. The art of perspective was perfected and the human figure scrutinised closely. There was a greater emphasis on realism, an expanded range of expressions, gestures and poses. Novel subjects such as landscapes and complex historical scenes were achieved.
The technology of painting also changed. Raphael and Titian revelled in the new medium of oil paint, using transparent glazes to achieve modelling and depth of colour. Botticelli, on the other hand, continued to work with his favourite medium of tempera, a mixture of pigment and egg yolk. Wooden panels, as supports for paintings, gradually gave way to canvas since it was lighter, cheaper and more malleable.

Ask me no questions…
In my line of work in Higher Education, I like to stay informed of what other landmark institutions like this one and this one are doing in the same space; the talent they attract and the observations they make regarding adult learning, productivity and organizational behavior are valuable and in a league of their own.
A recent article by Hal Gregerson of the MIT Leadership Center shed light on the necessity of asking good questions in leadership..which naturally led to a few questions of my own.
Gregerson postulates that the ability to ask good questions is central to good leadership. To some, that may sound counter intuitive – aren't leaders supposed to have all the answers, by default of their position? I, too, was skeptical. But, I was motivated to read through the article when I learned that even MIT – even MIT – knew it had some questions to ask. An institution acclaimed for its technological and scientific prowess, knew enough to know that it had room to stretch and build by combining its empirical strengths with softer skills that live within its world-class business school.
Now, I don't believe in asking questions if you are too lazy to think through to an answer, even a hypothetical one. And, I certainly don't believe in asking empty questions to fill space and sound smart. However, Gregerson's data supports his belief that better leaders ask better questions – they think deeply enough to spot gaps in their own knowledge and formulate the right words into questions which will ultimately saturate those gaps with valuable answers… and perhaps more valuable questions.
At the end of the day, the questions we ask of ourselves determine the type of people that we will become.

Welcome to Tax Day, if you're in the United States. They say that only two things in this world are certain: death and taxes. I concentrate on death, of course, and at any rate, there are lots of people who get away without paying taxes at all. I am not among them, more's the pity.
So, while some of us are working towards one of life's supposed ubiquities (taxes), here are a few stories that have to do with religion.
- Star Trek Hypothesis
- Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President argues that Buddhism, Hinduism, and Marxism are demonstrations of Satanic Power.
- "America's Top Exorcist," a rather lurid CNN video piece in which the Vatican's chief American exorcist, and inspiration for new movie "The Rite," is given the mini-biopic treatment. This would be uninteresting and just another case of lurid religion-movie tie-ins in the media (especially around horror-genre films), except that I've recently become interested in the immense rise in the number of officially credentialed exorcists in the Catholic Church in the last few years, and the scary rise in exorcisms generally.

Exhibition themes Sicán-Lambayeque
Sicán culture developed on the north coast in the Lambayeque Valley. It flourished for more than six centuries until defeated by the neighbouring Chimú Kingdom about 1375, after a spate of natural disasters led to the populace overthrowing their rulers. Sicán means 'temple of the moon' and is the indigenous name for the major site associated with the culture, Batán Grande in the La Leche Valley.
This ceremonial centre was established as a funerary–religious precinct between 900 and 1100 AD. It was the focus of a large religious state supported by intensive irrigation agriculture in nearby valleys. Batán Grande has many adobe pyramids and temples with shaft tombs for the Sicán elite, whose graves contained extraordinary numbers of gold objects.
Most remarkable is the metallurgy of the Sicán artisans. They worked with copper, gold and silver, sometimes combining the metals in varying quantities to produce tumbaga alloys. Tumbaga was especially suited to the process of annealing and thus metalworkers were able to make sheets as thin as 0.1 millimetre. Sicán smiths decorated their objects by embossing and die stamping, and soldered decorative elements to their precious ceremonial and grave goods. The richness and luxury of their belongings, and their advanced skills, led to Sicán smiths and weavers being kidnapped by the Chimú after their conquest.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The formula for victory for Florida's baseball team on Saturday was as easy as 1-2-3.
The 20th-ranked Gators (26-13, 10-7 SEC) scored once in the first inning, twice in the second and three times in the third – with five of those runs unearned – on the way to an 8-4 victory against the No. 16 Rebels.
The teams face a decisive Game 3 today at 11:30 a.m.
Four early errors by the Rebels (27-11, 10-7) opened the floodgates.
"You have to give credit to Florida, they came out aggressive today," said Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco, whose team is 2-3 in Saturday SEC games. "It was a tough day at the ballpark. We didn't play plays today when we had the opportunities early. We have to put it behind us. We have one more game left against a good Florida team who is tough at home."
Phillip Irwin (5-3) suffered the loss for the Rebels as he allowed seven runs – two earned – on eight hits with four walks and two strikeouts.
Third baseman Zach Miller went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in the fourth inning for Ole Miss. Shortstop Mike Mooney went 3-for-4 with an RBi and two runs for the Gators, who out-hit the Rebels 11-8.

Will Levi's Practice What They Preach?
Coalition for Justice on the frontline for Lajat Manufacturing
On Thursday February 16 at noon the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras lead a demonstration in front of Levi Strauss and Company's headquarters at 1155 Battery Street. Speakers included Fernando Lopez representing the Lajat Workers in Gomez Palacio Durango, Tim Paulson, Executive Director of the San Francisco Labor Council, Alejandra Domenzain of Sweatshop Watch, Chie Abad of Global Exchange, David Bacon, Bay Area journalist, and CJM Board member Judy Ancel. Levi Strauss is a major customer of Lajat Manufacturing, a consistent labor rights abuser in Mexico.
In an unprecedented ruling on January 17, a Mexican Federal Labor Tribunal ordered the local Labor Board of Gomez Palacio to recognize the independent and democratic Union of Workers of Lajat Manufacturing. Lajat is a major jeans-maker with nearly 12,000 employees operating in the states of Durango and Coahuila.
The Lajat Workers Union is the first independent union to gain legal recognition in north central Mexico. All but one member of its executive committee are women workers. The Tribunal's decision was in direct conflict with the actions of the Durango state and local authorities and of Lajat Manufacturing, which has waged a year-long battle to stop its workers from organizing. Lajat has gone so far as to close a plant in order to prevent workers from realizing their human rights. It has fired and blacklisted workers, and it has unleashed dozens of police on workers inside its plant to beat and arrest them. From the start Lajat has pressured the local labor board and the Governor who has authority over it, but finally on Friday February 10, after delaying as long as it could, the labor board complied with the Tribunal's decision.
Levi Strauss proudly claims to be "the first worldwide company to establish a comprehensive ethical code of conduct for manufacturing and finishing contractors working with the company." Since April 2005 the Lajat workers, through The Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras, have been asking Levi Strauss that Lajat be accountable and respect their ethical code. Levi Strauss has agreed that Lajat has violated their code; they have urged Lajat to reinstate fired workers, and after meeting with CJM, they issued a Corrective Action Plan for Management. However, after Lajat closed its Gomez Palacio plant late last year, Levi Strauss said, "We can't tell them how to run their business."
Then, early this year, workers reported that Levi Strauss gave Lajat new orders for jeans. This was despite the fact that Lajat refuses to comply with Levi's Corrective Action Plan, refuses either to reinstate workers or to pay the workers $400,000 in back wages, unpaid overtime, and severance pay, and it fails to make legally required contributions to federal social security and housing funds.
Martha Ojeda, Executive Director of The Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras thinks Levi Strauss should practice what it preaches and quit pampering Lajat. "They can't have their ethical code and sweatshops too. We call on Levi Strauss to become a leader for labor rights in Mexico and help these workers become the first since NAFTA to win justice on the job."
The Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras is a U.S.-Canadian-Mexican coalition of religious, environmental, labor, Latino and women's organizations. Our efforts are grounded in supporting worker and community struggles for social, economic and environmental justice in the maquiladora industry.
At the demonstration CJM displayed a solidarity banner signed by dozens of students from United Students Against Sweatshops who held their national convention last week in San Francisco. The demonstration was organized by CJM, along with its affiliates: Marin Interfaith Task Force, Sweatshop Watch, and Global Exchange. Co-sponsors are The San Francisco Labor Council, The International Solidarity Commission of the Industrial Workers of the World, SF/LCLAA, Campaign for Labor Rights, National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, and Asian Law Caucus.

Serves 6 as an appetizer or 2 as a main course
Yields two 10-to-11-inch pizzas
Hot pizza and cool salad makes this an "everything-in-one" pizza.
Thirty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 500°F. Place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and heat for at least 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, divide the dough into 2 pieces and form into balls. Roll 1 piece of dough into a 10- to 11-inch circle, 3/8 inch thick. Transfer to a heavily floured pizza peel. Top with half of the smoked mozzarella cheese, distributing evenly. Slide the pizza onto the pizza stone and bake until golden and crisp, 8 to 12 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk together the oil, vinegar, and garlic in a bowl to make a vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Add the yellow and red cherry tomatoes and toss together.
When the pizza is done, place on a platter. Top with half each of the tomatoes, vinaigrette, and basil. Serve immediately.
Make a second pizza with the remaining ingredients.
