Aunt Michelle called mum and the family to say I had a short fight with FIP and passed August 27, 2008. I am excited to join all my furriends and meet many new ones over the Bridge.
Bax, Bubbles, MMP, Ava, Monster D, Tweak and many of my new furriends were there to greet me and show me around. I am doing wonderful and miss everyone... but I am watching down and guarding my earthly furriends.
I send my love and warm hugs,
♥ Angel Sirius
Thursday March 13th was a new experience for me... I have moved in with my step aunt Michelle in her apartment. I smell new flowers around, and new kitties too. Up the street a bit is my other step aunt and uncle and kitty cousins Gregory & Oliver. I am excited after I have gotten used to the change to go over & visit them and my brother Orion.
I am getting just as spoiled as normal and having fun too!
Here are the rules - each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
Kitties who are tagged need to write their own message about their own 8 things and post these rules.
At the end of your message, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names, then send it to them.
1. I love to sneak up to the table when no one is looking & drink left over
cereal milk! Yummy!
2. I sneak when dad is not looking & jump on the kids beds & take over, even though
I know we're not allowed on the beds because of allergies!
3. I took a very long time to stop this nasty habit of sucking on my tummy.
I was taken away from my kitty mommy way, way to early. I am proud to not need that
security any more! Now if mum can just keep my nails away from the couches! ;S
4. I have the humans trained very well to let me in & out of the house at my every whim.
I take advantage & do it many, many times in a row... but they all still jump at my call!!! ;D
5. I have learned Orion's smart trick of back talking mum when I do something I shouldn't.
She repremands me for scratching the leather loveset & I must ask why! And try to get out of being sent outside!
6. I love my tie & have no issue waring it all day!
7. On that note... the costumes that go over my head, I hiss at & try to get off! Mum tells me how very cute I look...all I can think is "I'm being eaten by a cute elephant, help!!!"
8. I have been using the leather loveseat as my personal scratching post making mum CRAZY! She has been reading up on how to make me stop, as quickly as my bad habit begain... but is having no luck.

SRT in 1st, then the SVT then the Cooper and last place was the Mazdaspeed. they basiacally called the SRT the winner cause it was alot more powerful then the other cars. I was hoping to see a WRX in there or at least a Spec-V cause its in the price range. let me know if anyone else got to read it.

Big 12 Sees Record Revenue Of $198M, With $22M Shares For Most Member Schools
Published June 3, 2013
BACK FROM THE BRINK: In Ft. Worth, Jimmy Burch wrote Big 12 officials "oversaw a conference that teetered on the brink of collapse in the summers of 2010 and 2011," but spent Friday "reveling in" the revenue distributions. The total was a $15M "increase from last year." The $11M half share "represents a significant jump in revenues" for TCU and WVU. Bowlsby said, "I think our league is rock-solid and we have done everything we can, in the near term and in the long term, to keep this group of 10 schools together in perpetuity." Burch noted the Univ. of Texas also will receive another $15M in revenues "this year from its Longhorn Network deal with ESPN," money that is "not part of league-wide distributions." UT President Bill Powers said, "We're happy with our equal share. A rising tide helps everyone. I think there's a real sense that realignment is behind us." WVU AD Oliver Luck said, "The Big 12 money is certainly bigger than it was (in the Big East). Even half a share is much more than our previous conference." UT men's AD DeLoss Dodds said of Bowlsby, "He's a calming effect on the conference. He is absolutely the answer to what we needed" (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 6/1). In San Antonio, Tim Griffin reported Dodds was "struck by the sense of unity and purpose that exists among conference members today compared to years past." Dodds: "In recent years, I've never seen it better. The room is good. Friendly. Good camaraderie. People are pulling for each other. It's good." Powers: "I think it's a testament to that June (2010) meeting in Kansas City, where it would have been easy for the ADs and presidents and the Big 12 to panic. We just sat down and went around the table and said who's in and out" (SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, 6/1).
LAST ROUND-UP? In Houston, Mike Finger profiles Dodds, noting how long the UT AD remains in his position is "yet to be determined." Dodds' $700,000 annual contract runs through '15, and he will receive a $1M annuity "if he is employed by the school at the end" of August '14. But "another poor year by his biggest teams -- including the basketball and baseball squads that missed their respective NCAA tournaments this season -- could put his future in peril." Powers, who "also faces an uncertain future," on Friday "reiterated his support for Dodds." Powers: "The programs are good. ... There will always be ups and downs, wins and losses. I'm looking forward to next season" (HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 6/3).

Lake Superior State University's Bachelor of Arts in French Studies has been designed to provide students with a valuable marketable formation for a variety of careers where language proficiency and cultural awareness are increasingly in demand. As a second major, it will add weight to any specialization in science as well as in the Arts.
A Success Venture
The lack of similar degree in the broad geographic area served by LSSU has led to several requests for such a program, and it is clear that our location on the boarder of bilingual Canada offers an ideal opportunity to attract both American and Canadian students. Contacts taken with various French universities demonstrate the realistic possibility of broadening the scope of LSSU international vocation.
An Expertise in Demand
The need for expertise in French and Francophone Cultural Awareness cannot be overemphasized in the perspective of modern global economic outreach. The B.A. in French Studies offers students a wider range of employment opportunities should they choose to further their education in view of a career in teaching, translation/interpretation, business, government, technology, etc. Furthermore, the uniqueness of this degree lies in its four specific complementary components: language, literature, business and civilization.
Expanding the Outreach
The idea of a BS in French for Business and International Trade was the result of consultation with LSSU Business Department, the main objective of such a degree being to provide students with the competency and the related advantages of two well-balanced, complementary fields of concentration as well as the practical experience of a valuable internship in a multicultural business environment. Such programs have proven to be highly attractive to francophone nationals from Europe and the rest of the world eager to obtain degrees from US universities.

The city is looking into regulating charity drop-off bins.

Councillor Maria Pearson has asked city staff to create a policy that would monitor the ubiquitous drop-off boxes after several began popping up haphazardly in Stoney Creek.

"It was a blue charity bin being dropped all over my ward," she said. "They were being put on private property, they were being put on city property, there was no contact information."

Pearson said the city spend thousands of dollars removing the boxes and often had no way of tracking down its owners. She also points out that the boxes create major problems with illegal dumping.

City staff are drafting a policy about the charity bins and will report back to council with a proposal.

Federal prosecutors have essentially completed their investigation into alleged rigged hiring and promotion practices at the state Probation Department, according to two people briefed on the US attorney's work, clearing the way for criminal charges against numerous probation employees, politicians, and potentially others in the scandal uncovered by the Globe's Spotlight Team.
One probation employee - Christopher Hoffman, Northampton District Court acting probation chief - has already been charged with intimidating a witness in US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz's investigation. But lawyers involved in the case expect that a federal grand jury may soon indict a dozen or more state employees and state legislators on charges related to favoritism in hiring and promotion.
Federal prosecutors "are just checking details at this point'' before making criminal charges public, said one person who was familiar with the US attorney's investigation. However, several people say it is unclear exactly when Ortiz will make an announcement or exactly who will be targeted.
Word of the federal grand jury's secret work has percolated through political and probation circles for months as witnesses were subpoenaed to testify, providing clues as to where the investigation was heading. In addition to questions about the conduct of the former probation commissioner, John J. O'Brien, and his deputies, prosecutors have focused on political figures such as Rep. Thomas Petrolati, the former third-ranking leader in the House of Representatives.
The Spotlight Team found in 2010 that O'Brien turned a once-respected agency into a patronage haven that readily provided jobs to friends, relatives, and supporters of politicians and court officials, whether they were the most qualified or not. The Globe identified 250 probation employees who had political or court connections or ties to O'Brien himself.
O'Brien, who resigned along with two top deputies a year ago, has already been indicted on state criminal charges based on Attorney General Martha Coakley's investigation. A Suffolk County grand jury charged that O'Brien illegally raised campaign funds from his employees to help his wife get a job with Timothy P. Cahill, then the state treasure.
US Attorney Ortiz launched the federal investigation in November 2010, directing probation officials to preserve all documents that could be used as evidence in the criminal investigation, including e-mails, computer files, paper records, and text messages.
Ortiz's preservation order came on the same day that Paul F. Ware Jr., an independent counsel appointed by the Supreme Judicial Court, released an exhaustive report that vividly sketched a massive patronage scheme orchestrated by O'Brien and his top aides.
Ware was appointed in May 2010, the day after the Globe Spotlight Team detailed the 2,000-employee agency's phony hiring practices. Ware's investigation concluded that fake interviews and rigged promotions were practiced "on a grand scale.'' His report cited potential crimes, including wire and mail fraud, bribery, perjury, conflict of interest, and illegal solicitation of campaign funds.
Ware focused primarily on the conduct of probation employees, but he found evidence that O'Brien worked closely with state legislators to help their friends and supporters win jobs and promotions. Ware also found that O'Brien kept detailed lists of the job candidates promoted by state legislators and routinely told probation hiring committees which candidates he expected to be finalists for jobs.
Ware identified several state lawmakers who benefited significantly from O'Brien's patronage system, including House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and his former top lieutenant Petrolati, who was nicknamed "the king of patronage'' by Western Massachusetts probation employees for his influence over probation hiring and promotion. Petrolati, a Ludlow Democrat, voluntarily stepped down from his leadership post after Ware issued his report.
In addition, Ware questioned the conduct of former speaker Thomas M. Finneran, an ally of O'Brien who helped centralize probation hiring power in O'Brien's hands. Finneran declined to answer Ware's questions under oath, citing his constitutional right to remain silent.
But 14 months after Ware's report, prosecutors so far have charged only Hoffman in the case. Hoffman, who grew up with the children of one of O'Brien's top aides and rose through the probation ranks ahead of employees with more experience, allegedly told a subordinate at Northampton District Court that she was a "rat'' for talking to FBI officials investigating favoritism in probation hiring.
If convicted, Hoffman, who has been placed on administrative leave from his job, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Andrea Estes of the Globe staff contributed to this report.

The School of Libanius in Late Antique Antioch
This file is also available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format
THE SOPHIST LIBANIUS, who was an exponent of the revival of Greek literature that started with the Second Sophistic,1 taught in Antioch in Syria in the fourth century C.E. In Oration 55, he extolled to a student the advantages of a career as a teacher of rhetoric:
How great it is to rule over wellborn young men and see them improve in rhetoric and proceed to the various paths of life! And what about the honors one receives from them and their fathers, from citizens and foreigners? Teachers of rhetoric are respected by all governors, small and great, and even by emperors. (23)
There are many similar statements in Libanius, as well as fervent commendations of good students. There are an equal number of negative assessments of the condition of rhetoric—a despised and silent discipline—and condemnations of youths indifferent to its charms. In general, Libanius's letters present a different view than the orations. In attempting to understand the reasons for the discrepancy and to unravel other puzzles that the vast corpus of the rhetor's surviving writings presents, this book delves into the workings of the most prominent school of rhetoric in Antioch (the modern Antakya, in south Turkey), where Libanius taught as "official sophist of the city."2 The school served youths from all provinces of the Roman East. Its curriculum and teaching methods were common to other schools of the Roman Empire, so that the works of Libanius also provide a clear, welcome window on higher education in other times and places. We can apply to Libanius the words of the poet Meleager, who lived centuries before: "If I am a Syrian, what wonder? Stranger, we live in one country, the world."3
Libanius kept a vast correspondence to advertise the quality of his teaching and to maintain contacts with the families of his pupils, former students, and a few other teachers. I have included in an appendix translations of about 200 letters that concern his teaching activity.4 All of the surviving correspondence of Libanius, which is more than double that of Cicero's, belongs to two separate periods, his first ten years of teaching in Antioch and the last five years of his life.5 This study, in any case, is based not only on the texts I have translated, but also on all of his correspondence with relevance to education, as well as several of his speeches that pertain to pedagogical issues.
There is more than one Libanius, and this book does not pretend to interpret them all or to solve all the puzzles. The questions I am asking depend on my specific interests and are only tangential to other fundamental questions. By the beginning of the third century, Christianity had gained a hold over the intellectual elite, but Libanius, a major representative of Hellenism when it was starting to break down, was an exponent of paganism, since his fervent belief in classical culture brought with it a religious allegiance.6 Issues such as Libanius's relationship with the emperor Julian go beyond the teacher-student rapport that I explore; they have been asked before and will continue to be asked.7 I will only touch upon Libanius's relations with two of his well-renowned students, John Chrysostom and Basil the Great, who followed paths of life different from him but continued to draw on the rhetorical skills they had acquired.8 In the same way, I will not linger on his interactions with emperors and pivotal figures of the age, with whom he sometimes had tempestuous relationships, or on his influence on public affairs in Antioch, or on his concern (philanthro pia) for the lower classes and protests about social injustice and against an oppressive system.9 Libanius (probably rightly) boasted to have written "more than any man alive" and revealed much of himself; much of what the Middle Ages preserved still awaits interpretation.10
But even though I concentrate on Libanius as an educator, and the factual claims I make are based on a process of inquiry and the examination of a large body of material, I am aware that I cannot pretend to have captured him fully. Letters manipulate reality no less than do speeches self-consciously composed for public consumption or autobiography. While one should read them (when possible) in conjunction with other writings of an author, it is not always easy to find overall coherence, if that is what one seeks. The farther a reader is from a text, the less competent he is to interpret it,11 and this is particularly true with letters. Apart from the issue of influence from other texts and trends, letters need to be situated in context in order to reconstruct the meaning they had for their original readers (the recipients principally), the people to whom they showed them, the subsequent readers who had Libanius's collection at their disposal after his death, up to the present readers. A letter not only is a veritable dialogue between two parties, as ancient literary critics maintained, but it also significantly involves the persona of the carrier, who brought it and supplemented its content, and the subsequent audience, which eavesdrops on a distant conversation and enriches its significance. Through a method of historical reception, one is more equipped to reach the original meaning of an epistolary text, but attempts to reconstruct what has been called a "horizon of expectations" may be only partially successful.12 So, for example, while we can interpret and predict to some degree the impact of the literary and philosophical references of Libanius's letters, something still escapes us with regard to various allusions. Does an obscure expression reproduce an ancient proverb, a colloquial utterance, or a private joke between writer and recipient? We are sometimes inescapably severed from the text's meaning.13
A literary letter, which is simultaneously the product of both real life and literature, is a text that is far from transparent. As readers, we have to rediscover the subtle balance between letters as functional documents and letters as works of art, a balance that was operative when the writer composed his message, but that has insensibly changed upon reaching us. Libanius's letters lay between private and public and were intended to have a literary and lasting value, as indicated by the reactions of his recipients, who often publicized them or claimed inability to respond with similar art. Libanius kept duplicates of his letters, but it is unclear whether he published a limited collection during his lifetime.14 We may view a letter as an outpouring more spontaneous than an unquestionably literary text (his orations, for example), but in his correspondence, Libanius constructed a personal view of reality and of himself, just as he did in his other works.
Much distinguishes Libanius's letters from the straightforward correspondence of more-or-less educated people that survives from Roman Egypt and, to some degree, from many other sophisticated epistolary texts.15 Since they originate from a copybook, introductory and final expressions are not included. It is likely that Libanius dictated most of his letters to his secretary and did not pen them himself. A generally unnoticed remark from a contemporary writer, the Roman rhetor Julius Victor, is enlightening: "As a rule, the ancients wrote in their own hands to those closest to them, or at least frequently appended a subscription."16 In attributing to the veteres (Cicero, for example) the habit of penning their own correspondence to intimate people, Julius Victor appears to note a difference from contemporary writing habits and seems to refer to some change in epistolary etiquette.17 Libanius continued to subscribe his letters to friends, but it is not certain whether he did the same with all correspondents.18 His letters plunge in medias res, describing a unique moment, a request, a mood, and often include an elegantly crafted and clever ending. Some traditional epistolary topics are transformed in his correspondence. So the customary wish for health is there only when there are realistic questions about the recipient's condition, and this often mutates into an excursus on Libanius's own welfare. In the same way, the common complaint about not receiving news often includes a reference to an addressee's reluctance to write lest his rhetorical skills not measure up to Libanius's stringent standards, and the lament about lost correspondence (a reality with ancient mail delivery) becomes a colorful description of a letter's vicissitudes.19
The letters that pertain to education present some uniformity as a group insofar as they throw into relief Libanius's persona as teacher, illuminate some pedagogic issues, and disclose a world of people connected with his profession. Yet one should not attempt to forcefully pigeonhole them into a well-defined epistolary category. Most often, letters do not serve only a single communicative function, but rather discharge a multiplicity of clear (or hidden) roles.20 Many voices can be heard in them, in contrast to Byzantine letters, which revolve entirely around the relationship between writer and recipient.21 Most often, Libanius discusses a certain young man with a member of his family, but this trio of voices can be expanded by the mention of other relatives or friends who know the student or by a brief excursus on the letter carrier.
The letters, orations, and pedagogical works of Libanius reveal both continuity and change in education. I refer frequently (both in the main text and in the notes) to education in other periods and societies and to my previous work on this subject, but I did not think it necessary to write a separate account of the distinctiveness of Libanius's school vis-a`-vis others.22 Libanius himself emphasizes continuity in teaching methods and in the curriculum, but we will see that only a few of his students were able to follow his ideal, taxing program. He was not inclined to acknowledge discontinuity and modifications of a proven system, yet the short attendance and defections of many of his students must have forced him to make some adjustments. It is also possible that, like all great teachers, he introduced some innovations, which are now hidden among the traditional features of his rhetoric. There is a continuous interplay between his role as a representative of the art of rhetoric and his function as a teacher devoted to instilling the same principles in others. Fidelity to tradition gives a recognizable density to his words, so that his work as rhetor and sophist may appear to be only the result of sedimentation of things practiced, taught, and learned from the distant past. Yet the issues of his own times, his creativity, and everyday intercourse with his students must have had some impact on his production that we are not able to detect. Though one is tempted to find an uninterrupted discourse that links him to contemporary exponents of Attic oratory, to the Second Sophistic, and in turn to Hermogenes, Aristides, and Demosthenes (among many others), the differences and limitations in the functions of fourth-century rhetoric inevitably shaped his work.
But let us return to the question raised at the beginning concerning the numerous contradictory statements that one encounters in Libanius's work throughout his life and the differing picture that often emerges from his orations and letters. The Libanius most readers know is the old, embittered sophist of the Autobiography and his late speeches, the educator who ranted against rival studies and the indifference of his pupils in his old age.23 The vast majority of the preserved letters, however, is from his early years of teaching in Antioch, when he was still immune from the criticism later leveled against his educational system. This question is intertwined with historical circumstances that valued some studies like shorthand, Roman law, or Latin more than traditional rhetoric, yet one must keep in view that from the first century C.E. to our time, there have been frequent lamentations about the decline of rhetoric as an indicator of the decline of political and societal health.24 The state of Libanius's mental and physical health, which deteriorated insensibly with the passing of the years and the accumulation of loss and disappointment, also deserves consideration. What place (if any) are we supposed to give to Libanius's personal vicissitudes and temperament? The recourse to a biographical and psychological approach is valuable and sometimes inescapable. One may choose not to raise questions about subjective factors, but they are present in the construction of a text in concomitance with sociocultural components and may help explain internal inconsistencies.25
Psychological, biographical, and historical reasons, which are helpful in other respects, do not provide a full answer to the question at hand, since most of the late letters continue to project an image of Libanius's satisfied dedication to teaching and appreciation of his pupils. Audience and genre, however, may account for some of the unevenness. Most of the letters that refer to education (including the later ones) concern individual students and usually good students.26 The late orations, however, denounce a whole group of prevaricating, insolent pupils who cared for other disciplines and did not show a disinterested love for the ideal, consuming rhetoric that Libanius cultivated. Are these "bad" students (or at least the students collectively) completely absent from the correspondence? Very occasionally they do appear, but only as a foil to the young man who is the protagonist of the moment. Thus they may serve to throw into more prominent relief a peaceful student, who does not like to fight in spite of his bodily strength, or they are an ideal backdrop, with their "sleepiness," to the "awakened" commitment of another, or their disinterest may underscore the diligence of a pupil who seeks academic supervision after his departure from Antioch.27 But these are rare instances. As a rule, a letter is entirely dominated by the portrait of the student whose family Libanius is contacting. The restricted original audience of a private letter is enlarged in an oration, but no generalization is possible. A speech might address Antioch's Council on internal issues or might be delivered in front of the whole school as a performance with a pedagogic aim. It might address the emperor and vividly refer to his actual presence at the delivery without being sent to or pronounced in front of him.28 Controversial orations were restricted to a limited group of friends with whom Libanius could afford to give vent to his frustrations or might be transmitted to an equally select circle at court. He probably confined to his own file drawers some of the bitterest personal tirades against public figures still in power.29
In pointing to the specific characteristics of epistolary versus oratorical texts, I have been relying on generic distinctions. Generic considerations can explain some inconsistencies, but they need to be applied with caution and elasticity. Genres are in a continuous state of mutation, so that adjustments are necessary in order not to create disparity between literature and generic descriptions.30 We assign a work to a generic type, but not all the embodiments of a type share the same characteristics. Libanius's letters vary considerably with regard to their practical aims and rhetorical coloring. Even though he was sensitive to his public image every time he wrote, letters touching on educational matters are generally more casual and shorter than the others and abound in references to everyday problems. Libanius's letters, in any case, distinguish themselves from early and late Byzantine epistolary texts, which on the whole are more rhetorical, convoluted, and decorated and appear crystallized into forms that were used for centuries.31 Libanius's orations also vary greatly in terms of occasion, subject matter, audience, and rhetorical density: a school speech, a panegyric, an invective, and an oration of reproach each have a physiognomy and a tradition of their own.
A generic characteristic of correspondence that contributes to smoothing out a letter's edges is the fact that a letter exists to establish or crown a relationship, most often a friendly one. This feature stands out already in the earliest discussion of epistolary theory in a work from the second century B.C.E., On Style by Ps.-Demetrius, who stated that Aristotle considered some topics inappropriate for a letter, and that epistolary writing should aim at communicating warm feelings of friendship.32 Theoretically, a letter could convey the whole gamut of moods and behaviors inherent in social intercourse and did so occasionally, but generally fourth-century letters are smooth vehicles of friendship.33 Scholars have remarked with astonishment the apparently duplicitous behavior of Libanius toward some public figures with whom he corresponded with courteous and flattering letters, but to whom he addressed inflamed invectives in his speeches.34 Psychological and biographical reasons are rightly invoked to explain the flagrant disparity, but generic considerations also need to come into play. As an instrument of meaning serving writers and readers, genre helps establish a system of communication that bridges distance.35 The process of generic recognition and interpretation helps us to identify some of the limits within which Libanius worked. We will see that generic considerations provide another backdrop against which we can evaluate several problematic stances of this author.
I am committed to attempt a reconstruction of the world of Libanius's texts by taking into account not only the unique moment in which he operated, but also, in some measure, the collective, diachronic dimension of a period, the type of society in which he lived, the landscape common to that culture, and the set of traditions that affected him. Other texts that are outside that world, and are even separated from it by many centuries, may provide an additional understanding of patterns of human life, education, and growth. It is the continuity of human experience that justifies some venturing in other directions. With regard to this project, tempting comparanda are available with the letters of an anonymous professor who was the head of a school of secondary education in tenth-century Constantinople, a morose man who lived for his books and his students and did some writing of his own in his spare time.36 The correspondence of Johann Amerbach, who had a successful publishing-printing firm in Basel in the upper Rhine area at the turn of the sixteenth century, can also be illuminating, since he exchanged letters with his children and their teachers.37 Johann Amerbach had two sons who studied away from home, and I will sometimes refer to their vicissitudes as students abroad and to the frustrations of their father, who worried about their progress and did not want "to send young asses to Paris and get full-grown asses back."38 Parents of Libanius's students had similar concerns.
In the course of this book, I often argue against aspects of the work of Paul Petit, a historian who produced an invaluable study of Antioch's society, of the complex prosopography of Libanius's writings, and of the identities of the young men who were part of his chorus, that is, his school. 39 My debts to his research are many. He provided a basis for my study, and my interpretation became more nuanced and comprehensive because it could rest on his findings.40 My areas of disagreement are fundamentally two. First, Petit, who believed in isolating facts as irreducible entities, considered Libanius's letters documents that could be interpreted objectively, cobblestones still set in what was once a firmly built road. The framework he constructed and presented as objective (supported by minute percentages) is, however, fragile at many points. Exclusive immersion in the "facts" does not lead to a perception of the past that can be said with any certainty to correspond to reality; quite the opposite. I am ultimately concerned with cultural history and, although my account of the past naturally aspires to be a logical reconstruction of it, I am aware that sometimes it may represent only my version of the "story," as I am trying to capture the cultural sedimentation in Libanius's work as well as the subtle shifts that make him unique.41 Second, Petit, influenced by nineteenth-and twentieth-century European (especially French) educational practice, presumed a rather rigid pattern of schooling, and his conviction strongly shaped the factual claims he made and sometimes blinded him to other realities.
Petit's account, which is mostly not in narrative form, mainly consists of a reconstruction of the list of students, their years of attendance, and their provenance and recruitment, province by province. Compounded with the absence of a translation of the relevant letters, this continually fragments his description of Libanius's school and makes it difficult to follow. My book applies techniques of historical research, but it is in narrative form. Unlike autobiography, letters look forward and recount a series of events in their chronological succession, but I found it more useful to divide the letter collection (in Appendix One) according to dossiers of the various students, to give a clearer idea of their identities, attendance, and subsequent paths in life.
The first chapter of this book gives a preliminary evaluation of the personality of Libanius as a man, rhetor, and sophist, and delineates the contours of the landscape: his school of rhetoric in the city of Antioch. Since several excellent archaeological descriptions of this city are available, I simply attempt to show the type of cultural and physical environment (distractions included) that it offered to visiting students. I focus then on the school, the specific functions of the other teachers who assisted Libanius, and the surviving information concerning the activities of other sophists in Antioch. In the second chapter, I attempt to view Libanius's school against the vast landscape of the teaching of rhetoric in the Roman East.42 This sketch of rhetorical schools from Athens to Constantinople, to the Anatolian plateau and the Mediterranean coast, underlines the international character of Late Antique education and the conspicuous rivalry among schools. The reader will start encountering figures that resurface here and there throughout the book, such as the sophists Prohaeresius and Himerius, the philosopher Themistius, and Gregory of Nazianzus. With Chapter Three, the international component of the student body of Libanius's school emerges clearly. This chapter delves into the different methods on which he relied in order to recruit his students, that is, strengthening his professional position in Antioch by showing the worth of his oratory and by defeating competitors with all the means available; securing the favor of powerful officials; and creating an effective network of relationships. After he became the municipal sophist of the city, his recruiting efforts concentrated on this network, which consisted of former students and their families, as well as people with whom he had cultural bonds of friendship. Chapter Three begins a series of chapters that follow Libanius's students from the moment they enter the school to when they leave and move on to further studies or various careers.
Chapters Four through Seven allow the reader to enter into closer contact with the letters included in Appendix One. Chapter Four studies students' applications to the school, their initial encounters with the sophist, the diagnostic test he administered to them in order to place them at various levels, and the criteria of evaluation he followed in the reports sent to families. This section probes the issue of innate ability versus upbringing and education as it appears in several ancient authors besides Libanius. It also begins to investigate the question of what a letter writer chose to include (or chose to omit or obscure) in his correspondence. Chapter Five revolves around the curriculum in Libanius's school, but besides describing the various steps that the sophist followed to "sow" and "plant" rhetoric in his pupils, it poses a fundamental question. What were the reasons for the excitement young men who attended a school of rhetoric felt and remembered afterward with longing? Were there features of the curriculum that justified their enthusiasm? The topic of Chapter Six is the length of students' attendance, and especially the abbreviated attendance of most of them. Besides other issues, I investigate with close attention the cost of schooling and students' defections, subjects that the letters barely touch, but that the speeches denounce vehemently. But how crucial was a lengthy education in rhetoric at the hands of a prestigious teacher for a young man who was trying to secure a good career? This is the focus of Chapter Seven, which first considers questions of evaluation of competence and effectiveness (to see if these modern concepts find an application in ancient society), then moves to the choices available to Libanius's students. To measure the relevance of rhetoric in the ancient "resumé," I study here the recommendations that Libanius wrote to provide further assistance to former students. I also inquire about the cultural attainments of governors to verify the validity of the concept of rhetoric as a passport to power, which often occurs in the sources. Besides recapitulating some points, the concluding chapter briefly investigates the presence of silence versus words in the work and life of Libanius. Appendix One contains the dossiers of letters, Appendix Two calculates, as far as this is possible, students' length of attendance, and Appendix Three has a concordance for the letter collection.
Finally, I should say a few words about my translation of the letters. A translation is a balancing act between fidelity and freedom, with translators spending "their lives tottering within this acrobatic space."43 I have tried to remain fairly close to the Greek text, keeping in mind at the same time that it rarely happens that fidelity in translating individual words fully reproduces themeaning they have in the original.44 I strictly maintained, however, the distinction between singular and plural first-person pronouns ("I" and "we"). To assume automatically that Libanius used them interchangeably andalways pointing to himself is not necessarily correct, in my opinion.45 The plural often appears to refer not only to Libanius but to his school, with its plurality of teachers.46 On the whole, I am tempted to quote the words of Frank Cole Babbitt in the preface of his translation of Plutarch: "It is useless to apologize for the translation or to attempt to defend it; it is what it is, but at any rate it has not been done in haste."47

The summer of 2011 has (arguably) produced a bubble around social media, with valuations for social media companies soaring and a dozen massive IPOs in the works or completed. Will any of that social magic rub off on consumer-facing clean-power and energy-efficiency technologies, like electric cars, solar panels or home energy management systems?
The companies selling these green goods hope so. In recent weeks solar panel makers and installers like SunPower have touted Facebook games as a way to attract solar customers. And automakers are using social media to do research and development into how to launch electric cars and generate interest in upcoming EVs.
In a column for our subscription service GigaOM Pro, I take a look at how social media can connect with green technology — what are some of the unique things that social tools can do for green, and what are some of the gaps between the two. While social sharing tools could be useful for educating consumers on greener goods, social media could also play a crucial role in organizing people around fighting climate change, and also helping people share resources more sustainably.

Technically, Georgia coach Jim Donnan said Saturday night's foray into Sanford Stadium for the first time since the Bulldogs' 38-21 loss to Auburn wasn't anything more than a glorified practice session.
The team's first ''real'' scrimmage, he said, will take place later this week. Still, the Bulldogs were able to get some quality work in under the lights, and Donnan said that was the most important thing.
''One thing everybody needs to remember, this is just our second day (in full pads), this is a practice. This wasn't a scrimmage,'' he said. ''We worked on a lot of different things, but we were not near as concerned about the logistics of a scrimmage as we were analyzing our players.''
For the most part, Donnan liked what he saw, as the first and second teams went through approximately 30 plays apiece.
''We used a lot of different lineups, a lot of different people, but having officials and all I think we did a pretty good job of not being sloppy with not many penalties,'' Donnan said. ''We had one little blurb there with the quarterback-center exchange, but all in all I thought we tackled pretty good and were around the ball.''
Offensively, the Bulldogs continued to show excellent retention.
Quincy Carter looked sharp, while Jasper Sanks ran strong and delivered one of the hardest hits of the night when he lowered his helmet into safety Jermaine Phillips at the end of one of his runs.
Redshirt freshman Bruce Thornton also ran well, while Damien Gary and true freshman Reggie Brown continued their strong preseason play.
Toward the end of the workout, Brown picked up good yardage on a reverse, a play in which he changed direction twice and eluded several tacklers before he was dragged down from behind.
Up front, the Bulldogs mixed and matched their lineup with Brady Pate and Alex Jackson seeing time at left guard with the first unit.
Defensively, the first and second teams appear to have progressed nicely under the tutelage of new defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs, especially up front, where senior Demetric Evans played with the first unit at left defensive end.
The only defensive regular who didn't suit up was junior linebacker Boss Bailey, who was still feeling the effects of a migraine headache he began suffering on Friday.
''We held him out so you all could write something,'' Donnan said. ''He could have played if we were playing a game, but he gave us a chance to look at some of those other linebackers.''
Tony Gilbert took Bailey's place with the first team.
Sophomore Charles Grant also looked strong.
Grant, who is seeing his first contact since tearing his ACL in last year's season-finale against Georgia Tech, said Saturday following a brief morning workout that his knee is as good as ever.
''It's doing great,'' Grant said. ''I've had a lot of rehab, but I've applied myself the best that I could. I'm pretty much 115 percent.''
Freshman quarterbacks David Greene, Sean Jones and Matt Reddings also saw considerable action.
Greene, who played his high school ball at South Gwinnett, looked particularly impressive as he displayed an uncanny knack for being able to throw on the run.
''We wanted to get at look at all those quarterbacks,'' Donnan said. ''After Tuesday I'll be able to say a little bit more about them. I don't think it's fair to talk about the freshmen, but for the first time out I thought all three did some good things.
''Cory Phillips showed a lot of poise. But it's just unrealistic for me to sit here and talk to you all about our team here. We just came down here to have a practice. This wasn't a scrimmage.''
It was, however, an opportunity for the players to try out the new turf at Sanford Stadium, which looked to be in excellent shape.
''The field's good and it smells good,'' said Donnan with tongue in cheek. ''It's good turf. I appreciate all the hard work our grounds crew has done to get it ready. It held up good. It was firm, and I didn't see a lot of turf flying up in the air.''

The collection contains 19th century telegraphic equipment and early telephonic equipment, including Alexander Graham Bell's experimental telephone equipment (1876) an an early Melbourne telephone exchange switchboard.
1920 to 1930 was the period during which radio broadcasting was introduced and radio receivers went from being like pieces of scientific apparatus to common pieces of furniture in Australian houses. Broadcasting started in Australia at the end of 1923 in Sydney and early 1924 in Melbourne. At the end of 1924 there were nine licensed broadcasters.

Virtual Serial Port Utility
VCOM is a COM port redirection software application for Windows PC platforms. Its function is to re-direct customer application data destined for a local serial (COM) port on a PC. Rather than going out the local port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network using TCP/IP. The BF-430 attached to the network receives the data and presents it on its serial port. Conversely, data into the serial port of the BF-430 is sent back to the customer application via the network to the VCOM software. The VCOM software then presents the data to the customer application as if it were from a local serial COM port.
One of the main objectives of the VCOM software is to eliminate the need for a customer to modify their application. If the application knows how to connect to a local serial port, it can by default talk to a remote serial port on a device server using the VCOM software. No understanding of how to develop networking software is required.

Tennessee's Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is known not only for its wide variety of famous headlining acts — this year's included Kanye West, Jack White, and Elton John — but also for the many opportunities the festival offers smaller, up-and-coming acts from a range of genres. New musicians that get to play Bonnaroo gain invaluable exposure just from being listed on the lineup. Smaller stages are set up around the festival grounds that give fans an opportunity to relax between bigger sets and catch a new band that they might not have heard of, but that could very well end up playing one of Bonnaroo's larger stages in the future. Checking out a set at the Sonic Stage or Cafe Where is the Bonnaroovians' opportunity to say they saw a band play an intimate set right before they got big. Here's a list of five promising new acts Wall St. Cheat Sheet saw at the thirteenth annual Bonnaroo this year.

On the Road Again
Lao Tzu famously wrote that "the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." But then again, the Chinese scholar wasn't crossing the Colorado Rockies in a beat-up jalopy or fixing flat tires. For Ed Ruscha, a cross-country jaunt from his native Oklahoma to California along Route 66 back in 1956 was the first step that inspired the pop art pioneer's images of the American landscape, from corner gas stations to mountain peaks covered with his trademark text reminiscent of the billboards littering the roadways. The Los Angeles artist's love of the road trip has led to his exploration of Jack Kerouac's Beat classic On the Road, which chronicles Kerouac's experiences tripping across the winding asphalt between the United States and Mexico during the 1940s. It's no surprise, because both Kerouac and Ruscha revolutionized the use of words to document the rapidly changing nature of the American cultural landscape. In 2009, Ruscha created a limited-edition artist book version of Kerouac's classic novel and has since conceived a new body of paintings and drawings inspired by its feverishly written passages. At the Museum of Contemporary Art (770 NE 125th St., North Miami), "Ed Ruscha: On the Road" brings the two legendary figures of art and language together, transporting viewers back to a time when they didn't need a GPS to discover a new roadside attraction. Organized by the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the show features six large paintings on canvas and ten drawings, each boasting text from Kerouac's timeless tome and reminding that the journey to this aesthetic union begins with that first step toward MOCA.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: May 26. Continues through Sept. 2, 2012

|NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA -- Atchafalaya Basinkeeper, the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, Waterkeeper Alliance
and several other Gulf Coast Waterkeeper organizations filed suit in Federal Court yesterday, February 2, against Taylor Energy Company LLC under the citizen suit provisions of the Clean Water Act and Resource
Conservation Recovery Act, for ongoing violations stemming from an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that has continued to flow for more than
seven years.
Aided by satellite imagery and research conducted by SkyTruth and aerial observation by SouthWings, the Waterkeeper Alliance and its local Waterkeeper organizations learned that the spill, located approximately 11 miles off the coast of Louisiana, started after an undersea landslide in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan in 2004. An offshore platform and 28 wells were damaged, and since then, Taylor has yet to stop the daily flow of oil from the site. Waterkeeper estimates that hundreds of gallons of oil have leaked from the site each day for the last 7 years.
"The plaintiffs filed suit to stop the spill and lift the veil of secrecy surrounding Taylor Oil's seven-year long response and recovery operation," explained Marc Yaggi, Executive Director of Waterkeeper Alliance. "Neither the government nor Taylor will answer basic questions related to the spill response, citing privacy concerns." The public deserves to know how this spill happened and why it continues. Coastal communities should understand the risks involved in developing off-shore oil resources and what protections are in place to prevent damage from future spills.
"The Taylor Oil spill is emblematic of a broken system, where oil production is prioritized over concerns for human health and the environment," said Justin Bloom, Eastern Regional Director of Waterkeeper Alliance. "Nearly two years after the BP Deepwater Horizon Spill, none of the comprehensive reforms recommended by the National Oil Spill Commission have been enacted and Congress has yet to pass a single law to better protect workers, the environment or coastal communities."
Meanwhile, President Obama, in his State of the Union, has called for a massive push to open up 38 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico to oil exploration and extraction. He also seeks to open up pristine Arctic waters to drilling. The Taylor spill is in relatively shallow and accessible waters compared to the deepwater, challenging environment where Big Oil has set its sights. Oil exploration and extraction technology has dramatically outpaced the development of safety and recovery technology and it appears that the current regulatory regime is incapable of protecting us from a runaway industry.
A report released this week by the Gulf Monitoring Consortium, a partnership between Waterkeeper Alliance, SkyTruth, and SouthWings, investigates several spills in the Gulf (including the Taylor Spill) and highlights numerous deficiencies in the reporting and response process.
A copy of the report can be found here: Gulf Monitoring Consortium Report
"Imagine an incident like the Taylor Spill in a deepwater, high-pressure environment, that could not be contained in 7 years," asks Paul Orr, the Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, "Do we really want to race to the bottom without a lifeline when it looks like Big Oil is still at the helm?"
A copy of the complaint can be found here: Taylor Energy Complaint
Joining Waterkeeper Alliance in the lawsuit are: Apalachicola Riverkeeper, Apalachicola, FL; Atchfalaya Basinkeeper, Baton Rouge, LA; Galveston Baykeeper, Galveston, TX, Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, Baton Rouge, LA; Louisiana Bayoukeeper, Barataria, LA and Louisiana Environmental Action Network, Baton Rouge, LA. Plaintiffs are represented by the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic. Waterkeeper Alliance is a global environmental movement uniting more than 190 Waterkeeper organizations around the world and focusing citizen advocacy on the issues that affect our waterways, from pollution to climate change. Waterkeepers patrol more than 1.5 million square miles of rivers, streams and coastlines in the Americas, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa.

I don't know how much money Pete Doherty had to put up for the security deposit on the $1.5M home he is renting in the UK, but whatever it is, I am sure it isn't enough. MTV over in the UK ran a special over the weekend which basically documented 24 hours in the life of Pete Doherty. As such, they spent a great deal of time in the place he calls home. I'm glad he likes it because the owner of the house is probably not ever going to be able to rent it again.
Apparently the ballet slipper hanging from the table is not a leftover from some poor ballet dancer who got assaulted, then ran for her life leaving a slipper behind. Nope. Instead, it is Pete's idea of a work of art. Notice that it is hanging from a frame. I'm sure someone will snap this piece up for maybe, what $20?
Pete likes to give the impression he is a big reader with all of those books, but do you really think he actually can sit still long enough to read? Or get his eyes to focus? I think he just leaves them out like that because they are covering stains in the carpet.
The bed above was bought for his son to sleep in when his son visits. Umm, if you were the mother to his son would you let him visit?
Yes, that is on the wall inside the house, and yes it is one of Pete's famous blood paintings. I'm not sure it is the best idea to be around Pete when he is using his blood for art. Do you know what kind of diseases this guy has been exposed to? I'm sure the owner of the place must have had a heart attack when he saw this.

SOUZA, Elemir Macedo de. A hundred years ago, the discovery of Treponema pallidum. An. Bras. Dermatol. [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.5, pp.547-548. ISSN 0365-0596. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0365-05962005000600017.
The discovery of Treponema pallidum by Schaudinn & Hoffmann, on March 3rd 1905, was influenced by Siegels' communication on the finding of the etiological agent of syphilis. John Siegel, working at the Institut of Zoology, University of Berlin, claimed to have found a flagellate protozoon in syphilitic lesions. Because of the skepticism it was received with, this communcation yielded further investigation, conducted by zoologist Schaudinn and dermatologist Hoffmann. They were the first investigators to find the etiological agent of syphilis, described under the name of Spirochaeta pallida. The discovery of Treponema pallidum on March 3rd 1905 was the first step towards the development of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in subsequent years.

Forest and agricultural products, steel and pipe, ores, coal and petroleum products are the main cargoes shipped through the port. The natural resources basin that exists in the city helps the industries to access the natural resources such as gas, oil, water, timberland, sulphur, salt and other raw materials. Travel industry also contributes much to the economy of the city besides finance, insurance and health care. Petrochemicals, rubber, plastic, wood, paper products, food, concrete and scientific instruments are the notable productions in the city.

I installed the the CKEditor module in Drupal 7. I've also installed the CKEditor JavaScript library from the website CKEditor. However, no matter what I do, the editor don't show up as it is supposed to.
Use the wysiwyg module and then add ckeditor as a library. It will give you the most flexibility.
You install wysiwyg, then you upload ckeditor into your libraries folder /sites/all/libraries. Then you go to Configuration > Content Authoring > Wysiwyg Profiles and set up your Ckeditor options. - https://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg
Note: I've read some discussions about Ckeditor changing the format of their internal versioning that causes trouble. I use TinyMCE. I like it better so I don't know much about the trouble people have had with Ckeditor but thaat may be why you can't see it.
