"Huge," Bowers said. "This is so huge for us. We needed this."
The Lady Bisons successfully opened the Atlantic Sun portion of their schedule with a 67-57 win over Mercer Saturday night at Allen Arena.
"We were picked last in the preseason," Lady Bisons coach Frank Bennett said. "It set a tone for this team to win the first conference game. The confidence angle is very important to us."
Guards Jenna Bartsokas and Bowers combined for 33 points. Bartsokas led the Lady Bisons with 18 points, with half coming off of 3-point shots. Bowers finished with 15, her sixth double figures scoring performance in seven games. All of her points were on 3-pointers.
"We rely on each other," Bowers said of Bartsokas. "We complement each other.
"Our whole team has stepped up. We would not be getting the shots we are getting without a good team effort."
Forward Leah McAlister made her second start of the season and scored 10 points.
What made the performances by Bartsokas and Bowers interesting was that each of them only had three points in the first half.
"Anna was one-for-five and Jenna was one-for-six, but we had a 30-28 lead," Bennett said. "I thought it was really good that everybody picked it up. In the second half both of them picked it up and shot around 50 percent.
"I was pleased we found a way to overcome the first half shooting. In the second half right off the bat we made a couple of baskets to increase the lead. That was a big thing."
In their previous two games the Lady Bisons had allowed 40 points in the first half. They held Mercer, playing without starting forward Alex Phillips who was ill, to 28 points in the first 20 minutes.
"We held them under 30 for both halves which was a key thing for us," Bennett said. "Our goal was to hold them to 25 each half. We didn't quite reach that, but it was better than 40."
Brittnee Hazel scored a game-high 21 points for Mercer. Also in double figures was Briana Williams with 18.
Mercer outrebounded the Lady Bisons 39-29 with Sharmesia Smith leading the way with a game-high nine.
Forward Brittany Duerk was the top rebounder for the Lady Bisons with five.
"We played a pretty solid game," Bennett said. "We didn't beat ourselves. The second half we shot the ball better. We got some key rebounds when we had to get them.
"They see that if they play solid and really play hard they can be successful. There were times in the second half when Mercer made a mini-run and we got a stop or knocked down a basket. I would like to see when we get a 10-point lead to go to 12, 14 or 16 points ahead. I thought it was a good effort though."
The Lady Bisons are 3-4, 1-0 in the conference. Mercer is 1-6, 1-1 in the conference.
Wednesday night the Lady Bisons travel to Clarksville to face Austin Peay at 7.

Monday Visual Inspiration: Castle WTF
"They told me I could be anything I wanted, so I became every house I'd ever seen in Capitol Hill."
This multifamily building in Cap Hill is the Nicki Minaj of the neighborhood, this post-modern residence with its quasi-historical context. There are three front doors to the units in this, the street-facing facade. There is brick. There is "stone". There is wood. There is stucco. There are wood columns holding up "stone" turrets, which is a slap in the face of architectural history, building science, physics, and God Him/Herself. Wood does not hold up stone, unless it's heavy timber in a medieval castle in Scotland, and this ain't Scotland.
There are low-profile "storefront"-ish windows in the left turret, and there are wood operable windows in the upper floors, and there are "leaded" stained glass windows in the lower floors, and there are picture windows and bay windows. There are curves and haunches and "stonework" over the doors and "cast iron" lights outside, and ornamental metal fencework. This building reminds me of my sophomore year of design school, when inevitably a professor regards a project with bemused congeniality and tells the hapless design student: "You have a long career ahead of you, both in school and in the profession--you don't have to use all your good ideas in one project." I like every piece of this building; I just don't like them all together in one place at one time. Even beyond the aesthetic, there is the problem of forgetting and/or misunderstanding architectural history (certain kinds of materials don't belong with certain types of architecture--it's anachronistic) and building science (when you hold up stone with some 6" wooden columns, we know it's either not real wood or not real stone).
I'm of two minds when I critique buildings like this. One is that I'm sure people could shred my buildings if they saw them and had the inclination to do so, so who am I to be Miss High and Mighty Architectural Critic? On the other hand, buildings are not like paintings in a museum that I can avoid, or restaurants that I don't have to eat at, or songs I don't have to listen to or buy, or books that I don't have to read--we cannot avoid the built environment so easily as we can these smaller yet no-less-influential works of art. Someone lives across from this building and must look at it every time they check to see if it's snowing, every time they answer the door, every time they take the dog out for walkies and pee. We have to look at this architectural mash-up every time we drive down this street and be overwhelmed by its indecision, its design-by-committeeness, its look-at-me aesthetic.
That being said, I want the unit that gets the balcony with the nautilus-shell-like curve.

Any idea of the age of the original house? I love to look at these and do some forensics - what part is the original house and what was done to it to make it this way?
Nice find.

Sadly, this duplex/triplex/quadruplex was built in the mid-2000s. The developer(s) leveled two existing Denver Square houses and built this..."house".

I hope the questions are not hot as your opinion ,I hope the questions are not hot as you
Egypt's minister of information
Salah Abdel El Maqsoud
My questions are hot but I am a cold as a person.
Zeina Yazigi, Syrian TV host on Dubai TV
This is what the minister of information in Egypt Salah Abdel El Maqsoud told Syrian TV host Zeina Yazigi in Dubai TV last week. My mom was stunned when she saw that clip. Of course my admiration to Zeina has increased after her reaction. Here is her twitter account by the way.
The MB "mainly" say it was a joke and he did not mean as he meant her opinions were hot but she interrupted him and he had to repeat it again in that way !! The MB boys of course are defending him madly claiming that we are all going to hell and that he is better than all of us !! Of course if the minister of information was Non-Islamist minister , they would have considered him a rude womanizer infidel. "imagine if it were Amr Hamzawy !!"
Others say that it was just a blunder and he did not mean any sexual harassment from any kind , he is just an idiot who does not know how to speak. Well indeed he is an idiot who does not know how to speak to the media internationally and he is the minister of information. This is even much more dangerous than a minister who can not control his hormones !! How can I have a minister of information representing my country worldwide who does not know how to speak or act properly !?
I wish that he apologized on air , at least he would set the record straight and in fact he would be respected more.
I know Salah Abdel Maqsoud was chosen by the Muslim brotherhood to head the ministry of information in order to control the National TV , this is something I know and I am sure of personally according to sources I trusted. There were big names proposed then from Maspero Children who got experience in press like famous Hamdy Qandil but unfortunately the MB insisted on Abdel Maqsoud as their men in Maspero to control the News sector which the brotherhood believed that it was fighting the president. Abdel Maqsoud is a MB journalist who got a history in the Islamist newspapers as well long career in the journalists syndication. The government promised that he will be the last minister of information.

Buying A Used Engine For Your JeepPosted in How To: Engine on May 2, 2014
Questionable yard art or a second-rate jungle gym -- that's basically what a Jeep is if the heart of the beast, the engine, won't work. The fact is that engines wear out over time with use or abuse. That's too bad, but it's the reality of playing with Jeeps or almost any machine. The good news is that there are more engines out there that might be what your ailing Jeep needs. The problem is that without trusting the seller of a used part such as an engine, it can be tough to know if what you are buying is good or junk. Believe it or not, those of us here at Jp have bought a used engine or two and are happy to help you in your quest for a new mill to power your heep out of the yard. Follow along as we talk about things to look for and things that should set off warning bells when buying a new-to-you used engine.
When buying a used engine, the best way to make sure you're getting what you need is to hear the engine run before it gets pulled from the donor vehicle. Listen for ticks and knocks that could indicate that the engine needs a rebuild, a new timing chain, or is just junk. Small ticks are probably not a big deal unless you plan on running the engine as is. Large knocking noises can be bad. If the engine turns over but won't run, that might not be a deal breaker, but it could be hiding low compression or internal knocks that you wouldn't know about without hearing the engine run. Look at the oil to check if it's nice and honey- colored or black and worn—also give it a smell. If you can smell fuel in the oil or it looks foamy and whitish, that could indicate coolant coming from a bad head gasket. Any dubious evidence should bring the price down or help you decide to keep looking.
If all you can track down is an engine that has already been pulled and you can't hear it run, all is not lost. Put a big wrench or socket on the front of the crankshaft and try to turn the engine over a few times. If the engine has good compression and the spark plugs are installed, this is gonna be difficult. If there are no plugs in the heads and the engine won't spin, the rings could be rusted to the cylinders or there could be internal engine damage that is not allowing the engine to turn over. If the engine will turn over and everything feels tight, the engine may run, or at very least, be rebuildable. Worst case scenario is that if the engine has been rebuilt a few times or is really worn out, it could turn over and still be junk or prohibitively expensive to rebuild.
If you know what you are looking for, you can also "read" the spark plugs from the engine if the seller is alright with you pulling the plugs. Just make sure to keep track of which plug came from what cylinder, so if there is an issue you can follow up with further investigation such as a compression test. Oil on a plug is a bad sign, as is a fair amount of white chalky residue on the spark plug's electrode. Both may indicate worn rings, valve train issues, or a bad head gasket.
If you have decided to take the engine home with you because you think it will run or is a good rebuild candidate, there are some other things you can do once you get home. With the crank case full of oil, wire up a battery and spin the engine over a few times. You can now run a compression test, but the numbers could read low (as you are supposed run a compression test at operating temperature and your new engine is nowhere near operating temp). If you have any low cylinders, squirt some oil through the plug holes. If the compression reading goes up, suspect a leak between the cylinder wall and rings. If it doesn't, it may be a leaky valve or blown head gasket that's allowing the leak.
If an engine has been sitting outside in the rain without being sealed off from the environment, chances are that water has gotten in to it and the whole thing could be rusted solid (rings rusted to the cylinder walls and the crank rusted to the block). If that's the case, it's probably only good for scrap metal. If you are stubborn and want to try to save the engine, you can try soaking the cylinders in penetrating oil for a few weeks and then seeing if it will come apart. Chances are you will be wasting your time—unless you are in the scrap metal business.
See the small round gizmo in the freeze plug of this AMC 304? That's a temperature sensitive indicator that was installed when this engine was rebuilt at some point in the past. The indicator was installed to tell the commercial engine rebuilder if the engine was overheated after installation. It also tells you, the used engine buyer, that the engine has been rebuilt at least once already. That might mean that the engine may have overbored cylinders or under-sized main bearing journals and may not be rebuildable. Or, if the indicator looks good and new, that the engine has recently been rebuilt.
If compression numbers are really low, you may want to rebuild the engine. If compression numbers are good to alright, you'll have to run the engine to see if it has truly bad compression or knocks. You could run a cylinder compression leak down test as well to further help any engine rebuild decision-making. Beyond that, pulling the heads and having a look inside the engine is the next step in deciding if the engine is in need of a rebuild; look for obvious signs of wear and measure cylinder bore tolerances.
If an engine block cracks, it's generally junk. This can be the result of spectacular engine failure or can be caused by freezing weather or improper coolant in the engine's water jacket. This L-head cracked just below the distributor in a couple of places because the coolant froze and expanded. Then someone tried to weld up the cracks. It didn't work, and this engine is only good for scrap metal.

Luke Bryan's Wallet Stolen
Luke Bryan lost his identification, cash and credit cards when a backpack carrying his wallet was snatched before he got on board his bus following a flight to Seattle. The singer says he set the backpack down, and when he realized it, it was already gone.
"It's horrible out here," Bryan tells Phoenix radio station KMLE, with more than a little exaggeration. "You'll see me at your nearest interstate exit with a sign."
Bryan admits he was a little sleepy after the lengthy flight to Seattle. His other bags got on board safely, but the one containing his valuables walked off. So, someone out there might be claiming to be the 'That's My Kind of Night' singer. Check his smile before you believe him.
Bryan just released his fourth studio album 'Crash My Party' on Tuesday (Aug. 13). It features the No. 1 hit title track and latest single, 'That's My Kind of Night.' He's currently on the road with Thompson Square and Florida Georgia Line. The Dirt Road Diaries Tour runs through Oct. 26.

Radical Reactionary
Surely 'revolutionary conservative' is a contradiction in terms!
"Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming
an oppressor or a heretic"
Albert Camus
"Every revolutionary ends up either by becoming
an oppressor or a heretic"
Albert Camus
Become a Radical Reactionary
How can any citizen express fidelity to their own kind when they accept that resistance,
even if misguided, needs to be practiced? The following passage speaks from the grave:
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain
occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised
at all."
Is this the correct course for freemen or is this a formula for disaster?
The answer lies in the next quote:
"When wrongs are
pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality."
The justification for defiance is because it is moral. What radical spoke
these words? Must have been some malcontent criminal disgruntled with his own failures blaming society for his inability
to get along with his peers. The reaction to fixing wrongs, perceived or real, is natural and universal. A response
to a political condition may not on the surface seem to be proactive. Hitherto, on closer examination, standing up to
injustice and righting wrongs is steeped in courage and fortitude. The great confusion that persists in political discourse
arises from a distorted sense of involving a society into areas that were never meant to correct. The entire ethos that
professes interventionism into the affairs of others is the source of error that has brought more pain and suffering to humanity
than most are willing to acknowledge. Understanding the distinctions of what and when to take up the crusader cause
or the missionary gospel is the delicate task of pursuing and achieving political knowledge.
Still the other ingredient that needs to be observed is that rebelliousness must
be rooted in morality. Moral principles need not be codified with any particular religious sect. Yet, even a prolific
atheist ethicist like Ayn Rand could not bridge the great divide to oblige civil conduct in the absence of a creator authority.
Misrepresentation that fosters an exact separation of church and state has become a public poison that undermines and emasculates
the moral fiber of society. Perverting history is the goal of cultural relativists. Progressive progress is their
creed. Both are toxic, the former giving illusions the status of fact and the later the seed of societal destruction.
Reactionaries are called intractable not because they are wrong, but because they
oppose the idiotic course that secular humanism has superimposed upon humanity. Essentially, at the end of the day,
what matters is that the values and principles of traditional Western Civilization are founded upon rational honesty and spiritual
compliance. Both are necessary to achieve a healthy and vigorous society. Revelation has become suspect and reviled
by the social reformers who seek to expel any limiting factor on the excess of human behavior. Morality within a "Politically
Correct" culture requires the removal of God from the political landscape. Establishing a total separation
of church and state is actually a social requirement in order to bury God and make Man omniscient.
Radical actions are easily understood compared to reactionary principles.
The notion that championing tradition means preserving the status quo is beyond absurdity. The current condition has
become a callous chaotic cauldron. Maintaining the norms of a culture gone mad does not defend civilization or protect
a society. All that has been cherished and worthy of preservation has been demeaned, denigrated and defamed by irresponsible
clones that apply a "Totalitarian Collectivism", designed by hieratical elites and practiced by fanatical
"True Believers". These are the real subversives.
Breaking All The Rules in your own personal life is the moral social equivalent to witnessing one's faith in Supreme Being authority.
Exercising humility to divine providence, while practicing proactive civil disobedience, has become the formula to combat
the malicious forces that seek the ultimate destruction of our most unique nation. "So to avoid confusion
and to re-establish and capture a clear and elegant interpretation of the essence in the paleoconservative, Old Cause, Populism,
America First, Washington "farewell address" mindset, we are coining the term: Revo-Ami. Revo - for revolutionary, Ami - for friend of America." This concept was first presented back in 2003.
How many have been motivated to put into practice the revolutionary spirit of our forbearers? RADICAL REACTIONARY is a project that will boldly put forth the case for the OLD RIGHT heritage that founded America.
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the
pursuit of justice is no virtue", in the entire citation from Barry Goldwater. Is this viewpoint consistent
with the quotes in the beginning of this Preamble? Does it not drive home the need for both liberty and justice within
the same society? Legitimate wrongs are often overlooked or seldom emphasized by counterfeit conservatives. The
phony NeoCons are betrayers of the true legacy of limited government, individual liberty and personal responsibility.
The genius that wrote this admonition message of distrust for centralized despotism and state tyranny was none other than
Thomas Jefferson. Both Goldwater and Jefferson would now be considered kindred cousins. Both would be deemed radical
reactionaries. And in the era of Patriot Act newspeak, both would be condemned as potential terrorists.
Posterity will not forgive the sins of omission. How many citizens deserve
the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the brave patriots that fought at Lexington and Concord? Each person should
have that chance, but few earn the right to become guardians of our heritage. Reactionary is not a dirt word or a dishonored
person. The traditionalist is an enlightened diehard in the defense of individual liberty and social justice.
Knowing what that means and how to aggressively achieve the original promise of America is the purpose of this series.
The adventure is not based upon jingoistic hubris or deviant greed; but rests upon an unerring faith in divine providence
as our guide.
Often attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville: "America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great",
has rung true for generations. Today, the essential fabric of society is in turmoil. No longer does governance
value being good and is consumed with only being great. The demise of America is real. The reversal of fortunes
won't be based upon financial wealth or military entanglements. The solution to restoration of goodness
requires traditional ideals and radical deeds. Join in this renaissance journey for the sake of the nation, your neighbors
and family.
SARTRE – November 13, 2005
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain
occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised
at all."
"When wrongs are
pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality."
"The most radical
revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution"Hannah Arendt

People in the U.S. were more likely to use an iPhone or iPad over an Android phone or tablet to shop online this holiday season . While the majority of online shopping took place on traditional computers, 48% of shopping traffic came from mobile devices, up 28.3% from last year. When it came to actual sales, more people chose iPhones and iPads, rather than Android devices, to make their purchases, according to a new report from IBM:
As a percentage of total online sales, iOS was more than five times higher than Android, driving 23 percent vs. 4.6 percent for Android. On average, iOS users spent $93.94 per order, nearly twice that of Android users, who spent $48.10 per order. iOS also led as a component of overall traffic with 32.6 percent vs. 14.8 percent for Android.
IBM also found that while smartphones were more popular when it came to finding gifts, more people bought things using tablets. Smartphones we're responsible for 28.5% of shopping traffic compared to 18.1% for tablets, but tablets saw 19.4% of sales, with smartphones accounting for just 9.3%. Tablet users also spent a bit more, with each tablet order averaging about $95.61 per order, compared to $85.11 per order for smartphone users.
Did you do your holiday shopping with your iPhone or iPad this year? Let us know in the comments.

Burbed's Election 2012 Voter Guide to California Propositions and more – Part 2
Yesterday I said I would publish a voter's guide to our state's amazing propositions. I have a lot of respect for our proposition system. After all, we all know that California (especially Silicon Valley) is only full of smart people who can enable direct democracy to work.
Proposition 30 Temporary Taxes to Fund Education. Guaranteed Local Public Safety Funding
Burbed recommends: No
Why? Because this increase the personal income tax on people who make over $250,000. These are the most important people in the Bay Area – the House Price Creators. Instead, this proposition seeks to redistribute their income to schools and whatnot. As we all know, Home owners are our nation's future. Not children. Children are a terrible tax drain. They're so obnoxious with their demands that we even banned them from working because they were so distracting to people who were adding value to our economy, and paying mortgages.
Save Home Price Creators! Vote no!
Proposition 31 State Budget. State and Local Government
Burbed recommends: No
Why? Because this is too complicated and if it doesn't make sense in 30 seconds, it probably is bad. Also, I can't see how a Yes for this would directly raise house prices. Pass.
Proposition 32 Political Contributions by Payroll Deduction. Contributions to Candidates
Burbed recommends: Yes
Forget the union aspect of this – let's focus on the economics. Every $1 that is deducted for political contributions is a $1 that cannot be spent on a mortgage – which is a $1 that won't go towards helping increase housing prices. If I could, I would ban all political contributions – except from the National Association of Realtors, of course, because their voice needs to be heard.
Help your union friends pay their mortgages! Vote yes on this. And if they lose their jobs/benefits/pay because they can't collectively bargain anymore, then that's ok – we don't want poor people living here in the Real Bay Area anyway. $250k or bust!
Proposition 33 Auto Insurance Companies. Prices Based on Driver's History of Insurance Coverage
Burbed recommends: No
It's a good idea, but this doesn't go far enough. I like the idea of insurance companies being able to charge a 200% surcharge for having a gap in insurance coverage (as it happens in other states) that have passed something like this. Let's face it, if we don't make this state more expensive to live in, we'll attract more undesirables.
But the reality is that it doesn't address the biggest problem: that renters should be charged more for auto insurance than real citizens – aka homeowners. Everyone knows that renters have no respect for law or lives – they're a daily threat, clogging up streets that homeowners pay (almost nothing thanks to Prop 13) for.
Send the message that this doesn't go far enough. Vote no.
Proposition 34 Death Penalty
Burbed recommends: No
California spends $200M a year on special death row housing and other expenses apparently. This money has to go somewhere! If we get rid of the death penalty, what will happen to all the lawyers that deal with death penalty cases? How will they be able to afford their homes.
Sure it's kinda unfair that some people get executed wrongly. But it's also unfair to live next to a death penalty expert lawyer, and then see your house price drop because they have to do a short sale.
Sorry death row inmates – you've gotta take one for the team on this one. Greater good and all that.
Proposition 35 Human Trafficking. Penalties
Burbed recommends: No
Let's face it, human trafficking is terrible. Instead of penalizing these pimps, we need to retrain them to become recruiters for Dice so that they can grow their business and buy more billboards on 101. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing those – it's a great reminder of how awesome the hiring scene is in the Valley, and that in turn drives up housing prices.
Proposition 36 Three Strikes Law. Repeat Felony Offenders. Penalties
Burbed recommends: Yes
Personally I think we need fewer people in jails, so we can make more room for renters who don't pay on time. But until that becomes a criminal violation (fingers crossed!) let's get more people on the street so that we can train them to become eventual homeowners. More demand is always a good thing. And, since we don't really do much in the way of retraining for prisoners here in California, we can assume these folks will end up back in courts and jail – gotta think of those lawyers!
Help the lawyers, help the world. Yes on Prop 36.
Proposition 37 Genetically Engineered Foods. Labeling
Burbed recommends: No
Slippery slope my friends. First, we require companies to label food that may rise up and revolt in our stomach. Next, realtors will be required to verify claims in the descriptions in MLS. This is simply too dangerous. Less disclosure is always a good thing – moral hazard and all that.
Proposition 38 Tax to Fund Education and Early Childhood Programs
Burbed recommends: No
See Prop 30. Repeat after me: "Children are not our future. Baby boomers are our future."
Proposition 39 Tax Treatment for Multistate Businesses. Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency Funding
Burbed recommends: No
This ends tax breaks for companies. As we all know, when you give tax breaks to companies, they pass these savings on to the employees in terms of higher wages. Just like how if you are constipated, the key is to buy more toilet paper because the supply will stimulate demand.
That said, this proposition does guarantee money for green projects – which could lead to even more hype for CleanTech which would mean more multi-trillion IPOs which would mean Manhattan level housing prices even in Redwood City.
This one's a tough one. I'm going to have to stick with no for now though.
Proposition 40 Redistricting. State Senate Districts
Burbed recommends: No
Why? Because there apparently is no opposition. That's got to be a trap. Vote no just to be on the safe side.
And there you have it folks, a guide to voting for the propositions this year!
Make me proud!
How many of these recommendations will you take?

Peter Dijkstra, born in the Netherlands in 1978, studied choral conducting, orchestral conducting and voice at the conservatories of The Hague, Köln and Stockholm, and graduated summa cum laude with decoration. Furthermore he followed masterclasses with leading choral conductors like Tonu Kaljuste and Eric Ericsson. In 2002 he was awarded the Kersjes-van de Groenekanprize for young orchestral conductors and winning the first prize at the Eric Ericson Competition 2003 in Stockholm launched his international career.
Since September 2005 Peter Dijkstra is artistic director of the Choir of the Bavarian Radio in Munich. The choir has shown an amazing development since and has developed into a worldclass ensemble, co-operating with the best orchestras of Europe. Already two years later, in September 2007, Peter Dijkstra was also appointed as Music Director of the Swedish Radio Choir.
Currently, Dijkstra is regularly invited to conduct all major choirs such as the Netherlands Chamber Choir, BBC singers, RIAS Chamber Choir Berlin, Collegium Vocale Gent, Danish National Choir, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Radio Choir of Berlin and the Netherlands Radio Choir. With these fine ensembles he performs a broad repertoire, from early music to premiers of newly composed works. Alongside Choirconducting, Peter Dijkstra quickly became a well sought after guest conductor with orchestras such as the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, DSO Berlin, Gävle Symphony Orchestra, Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, the Stavanger Philharmonic Orchestra, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Copenhagen Philharmonic, The Residentie Orchestra of The Hague, The Bochum Symphonic Orchestra, The Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic, etc. Peter Dijkstra has also conducted the World Youth Choir on their African Tour in 2007 and is regularly invited to give and initiate masterclasses and projects to promote choir singing and conducting on the highest possible level.
In the Netherlands, Peter Dijkstra is the first guest conductor of the Nederlands Kamerkoor, artistic leader of vocal ensemble MUSA (www.musa.nu) and first guest conductor of vocal ensemble The Gents in Holland (www.thegents.nl). With this all-male ensemble he won many prizes on international festivals and toured in Japan, Spain, Sweden and Great-Britain. They made 4 recordings for the label Channel Classics: The Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal (CCS 18998), Follow that Star (CCS SA 20403), Lux aeterna (CCS SA 22405) and In Love (CCS SA 23106). With the Nederlands Kamerkoor Peter Dijkstra made a unanimously acclaimed recording of Bach's Motets, also for Channel Classics (CCS 27108). In 2012 he won an ECHO Klassik (Fauré Requiem at Sony Classics) and 2 Diaposon d'Ors (Straus, Wagner, Mahler at BR Klassik and Figure Humaine, Francis Poulenc at Channel Classics). Most recently his CD of Schnittke's Choirconcerto with the Choir of the Bacarian Radio was awarded an ECHO Klassik 2014 for Best Ensemble.
Peter Dijkstra is honorary member of the Royal Swedish Music Academy and in The Netherlands he was awarded the Golden Violin 2013, an award for internationally exposed dutch musicians. Most recently he was also awarded the Eugen Jochum Prize for young conductors.

How the Globe created the Dreamtown Finder formula
When it comes to buying a home, there's nothing but decisions, decisions, and more decisions.
What town is best for me and my family? Are the schools good? Can I walk to a good restaurant and stores? Is it too far (or too close) to extended family?
And of course: Can I afford it?
Buying a house is always a difficult decision, a tug-of-war between the hard logic of a small house with a fast commute time balanced against the emotional appeal of the spacious house and large yard far from the highway.
To help people decide what communities they might want to consider, the Globe has developed an online tool, called Dreamtown Finder, using a wide variety of data.
Using the tool, users can decide how important various factors are to them, and the Dreamtown Finder steers them to a set of options. Everyone has a different set of criteria, of course, but the factors we chose for the tool include the following: schools (SAT scores), people similar to you (age, education), fun (movie theaters, restaurants), hipster (number of colleges, Starbucks, hybrid cars, for example), location (crime, public transit, grocery stores), and housing costs (assessed values).
The Boston Globe used more than 15 different types of data to compile Dreamtown Finder, including sources from the state and federal governments. The data was divided into different categories and weighted, to help readers analyze their scores.
Schools: SAT scores from 2011-2012; student-teacher ratios, 2011-2012. Source: Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
People similar to you: Age and education data. Source: US Census.
Fun: The number of restaurants, theaters and museums. Source: Tripadvisor, other online sources.
Hipster: The number of colleges per resident; percentage of renters versus buyers; percentage of hybrid cars versus non-hybrid cars; the number of Trader Joes, Whole Foods and Starbucks per resident. Sources: US Census; state Department of Revenue; various companies.
Location: Crime rate, including violent and property crime; the number of public transit options; the number of historical sites per resident; the percentage of acres that are "open space''; the number of grocery stores. Sources: FBI; MBTA; MassGIS; Infogroup, Census.
Housing costs: Average assessed values. Source: Department of Revenue.

We want to end poverty, hunger, and homelessness. We partner with local soup kitchens and food banks to serve meals, work in food pantries, organize fundraisers and food drives, and even decorate grocery bags to hopefully brighten someone's day. We also partner with Habitat for Humanity to hammer away at new or old houses constructed by and for lower income families. We use our winter and spring breaks for service, traveling to such places as New Orleans and Appalachia. We say to the people of New Orleans...
The Center for Community Engagement has a
variety of employment opportunities available to students. We look for
students who are passionate about community service, responsible, and
like to think creatively. Please stop in to inquire about current open
Otterbein University has traditionally placed a strong emphasis on
community engagement and the development of the Center for Community
Engagement (CCE) is reflective of that commitment. The CCE was
established in response to the increasing needs of both the community
and the student body. Expansions of the CCE have improved the breadth and depth of community
engagement at Otterbein University. In 2005, the CCE relocated from the
Campus Center to a converted home on Otterbein's campus. The move
allowed the staff to expand to its current state, which fostered
significant developments in community engagement. The CardinalCorps,
our volunteer network which consists of the students, faculty, staff
and alumni who are devoted to social change through community
involvement, has increased its participation every year through newly
developed programs.
The Community Room in the CCE is where service-minded people can meet
and unwind. The room is available for presentations and meetings for CCE
and Religious Life student organizations, volunteers, community
partners, and even faculty book clubs. The room houses a resource
library for students and faculty interested in running community
programs or developing service-learning courses. We make crafts for
community service projects in the Community Room, too. But when the work
is done, the room is ready for volunteer appreciation pizza parties and
game nights with Wii bowling and Rock Band! Our volunteers like to drop
by, hang out, and chat—you're welcome to join them!
The CCE partners with the Otterbein Service Department to
provide transportation for students who are participating in community
service activities. If you have questions about becoming an Otterbein
certified driver or about reserving a van for a community service
activity, please contact Stacey Rusterholz, email@example.com.

2008 Chile Challenge Trail Ride - The Big FourPosted in Events on August 1, 2008
Each February, the interstate highways crossing New Mexico see a sudden influx of serious-looking vehicles. Huge tires, tubed frames, and many of them somewhat scarred from encounters of the mineral kind. They are an unusual sight as they fly down the road on trailers. Perceptive fellow travelers probably wonder, Where are they all going? We know exactly where the parade is headed. A large cross section of the nation's rockcrawlers is headed to Las Cruces, New Mexico, for the annual Chile Challenge.
The Chile Challenge isn't the biggest annual rock-centered event. That crown is most certainly reserved for a certain spring ritual in Moab. And the trails around Las Cruces aren't the most difficult in the country. There are certainly more difficult trails in various locales. But nowhere else has such an event grown up so quickly around its extreme trails. Lest reader mail deluges us, we will be clear that the Chile Challenge is more than just extreme rockcrawling. There are great trails for all levels of experience and vehicle modifications, including truly scenic rides for the new stockers. The local hosting club, the Las Cruces Four Wheel Drive Club (LCFWDC), does an outstanding job of organizing the event and making everyone feel welcome. The event serves as the winter quarterly meeting for the Southwest Four Wheel Drive Association (SWFWDA), so the vehicle count from the big regional association's six states is always high. The Chile Challenge is also home to all the typical accoutrements of a big event including vendor displays, some great evening meals, and one of the biggest raffles of the year.
Even so, it is the trails that draw return visits year after year. So many people come back, in fact, that the registration for 2008 was limited to 350 vehicles to keep from overwhelming the local trail system. And the four extreme trails are the centerpieces of the trails that keep people coming back.
This magazine wasn't the only 4WD-enthusiast publication there to capture a slice of the excitement for its readers. But we were the only ones who spent all four days behind the wheel of a vehicle out in the rocks on the extreme trails. We have only missed this event one year since its inception in 1991 and have run the hardest Las Cruces has to offer dozens of times. But these four trails, run under early spring skies, are so good; that we keep coming back each and every year. We love them, and you will also. So here, in the order we ran them in 2008, are the Big Four of the Chile Challenge.
Rocotillo Rapids
We first walked the trail now known as Rocotillo Rapids many years ago when the LCFWDC was still frantically working to get the first vehicles through the steep, narrow canyon. There is just no way, we remember thinking. The club had started groups from both the top and the bottom of the canyon. After several weekends of work, the two groups had still been unable to meet in the middle. They feared that the rapidly approaching Chile Challenge would leave the new trail still unfinished. Knowing that we would undoubtedly be driving it, we sort of hoped they were correct and wouldn't get it finished. But finish it they did, and we drove it that first year. Well, drove most of it. Back when the "big dogs" of the sport were running 35-inch tires, only one vehicle made it all the way through the canyon without assistance by a winch that first year.
The canyon is considered quite a bit "easier" now with lots of traffic in the intervening years and 40-plus-inch tires becoming commonplace. Still, Rocotillo Rapids offers more than enough challenge to leave scars and fully earn its "Extreme" rating. Narrower and more twisted than the other trails in the system, its walls close in tight enough to take bites of fenders and rear corners. Its three signature obstacles are all still there, although they continue to evolve from the passage of time, water, and tires. The initial challenge is a rough ledge running diagonally under an undercut wall. The left side offers an easier passage that allows one to dance through if the tires hit all the appropriate high points. Most of the hard-core types choose to take the more difficult center route. The undercut ledge and tire-swallowing holes often necessitate multiple attempts, and that is where the undercut wall comes into play. Get too far right, and you will certainly lose paint.
The second signature obstacle is a pair of side-by-side ledges. The original route runs to the right, but the passage of numerous vehicles has taken some of the teeth out of its former bite. The "impassable" left side gets driven fairly regularly, but on the Wednesday run this year, less than half of the vehicles were able to scale it. The third and final significant challenge is a steep climb up a large outcropping of solid rock in the canyon. Hit the right line, and one can idle up. Miss it, and things can still get ugly. Only one vehicle showed its dirty side to the sky on our recent trip, but it served as reminder that Rocotillo Rapids still provides more than enough challenge for rockcrawling extremists.
Tabasco Twister
Tabasco Twister is our personal favorite of the Big Four. Longer than the other routes and somewhat physically separated from the main trail system, Tabasco offers both high challenge and an uncommonly beautiful canyon. Due to its relative remoteness, it is a somewhat longer bounce through several canyons on rough dirt roads to get to the start of the fun. The stiffer challenges start with a nice warmup in an extensive rock garden. Multiple paths provide different levels of challenge to suit the driver's desire and ability.
Immediately following the rock garden is the first serious ledge. A wall of rock sits diagonally across the watercourse with a right angle in the middle of the canyon. The difficulty differs with the level of the gravel base at the bottom of the "falls," and a deep hole means high challenge. Thesharp breakover angle adds additional difficulty, but a solid winch anchor is available for the almost inevitable winch pulls.
Next up is The Abyss. Aptly named, the signature test piece of Tabasco Twister is a huge ledge stretching all the way across the canyon. The verticality experienced by drivers when their front tires reach the top of the ledge is intimidating. The propensity for the rear tires to drop into the holes at the base of the wall often has the drivers staring into the yawning voids at the bottom of the ledge. Again, a handy winch point may see a lot of use if the holes at the base are at full depth.
After The Abyss, the rest of Tabasco Twister is a pleasant drive for rock-loving drivers. There is enough optional challenge to keep things very interesting. One optional climb through a slender slot has been the scene of particularly abundant driveline carnage. The narrowing walls in the slot tend to trap the rear of the vehicles in a tight mineral grasp. The resulting load on the front end has driven many a component past its breaking point.
Tabasco Twister is also about scenery, which, at least in our opinion, is fine enough to want to drive the canyon even if it were paved. Over the many years and numerous traverses that we have made of these trails, Tabasco remains our personal favorite of the Chile Challenge Big Four.

Habanero Falls
Short and sweet. Yes, that sums up our Friday route. Of course, one has to appreciate a high degree of challenge to attach the adjective of "sweet" to Habanero Falls. Tucked into a side canyon and reached via one of several of the easier Chile Canyon routes, Habanero was originally called the Magnificent Seven due to the seven separate and distinct waterfalls in the canyon back when tire first met rock. The original name was dumped in favor of the chile theme, but memorable challenges remain.
First up is a deceptively difficult leap straight up 4 feet of vertical limestone face. The rock has been polished so smooth, and the lip so abrupt, that many vehicles find themselves buffing the face with their rear tires while skewered by the skidplate. The secret is to find a spot on the ledge where the edge offers a bit more breakover relief and then let the rear wheels hit the ledge with a little more mojo. A lucky bounce will have you up and checking out the next phase of the route.
Across a front-end-swallowing hole, around a corner and, whoa! Eyes fixed on the enormous ledge looming ahead and WHAM! You might just be distracted enough to find yourself trying to push solid rock with your bumper or pumpkin as you attempt to mount the tricky little ledge in front of the monster that has riveted your attention. A little repositioning, a bit of momentum, and now one is free to contemplate the final, and by far most challenging, difficulty on Habanero.
No name on this one, just a chance to point your hood at the sky and carefully, oh so gingerly, feel for some traction. We won't lie, there is an established "magic" line that works for most vehicles, but a mere inch or two literally means the difference between crawling and floundering. It always feels good to get to the top, acknowledge that the "line" is still there where you remembered it, and realize that there is a cold one with your name on it back at camp.

Patzcuaro's Revenge
Ah, Patzcuaro's ... or "pet squirrels" as some irreverently call it. Although Tabasco might be our personal favorite, nothing compares to running Patzcuaro's Revenge on the Saturday of the Chile Challenge. Home to the most difficult obstacles around Las Cruces, and center stage for a huge audience of gawking onlookers, Patzcuaro's is almost universally regarded as the toughest task of the Chile Challenge. The start of the trail is near a large dirt lot that is already filled with onlookers by the time the first tire hits the first rock on the trail. Patzcuaro's starts in a dark (and in the early morning of February, cold), narrow canyon where the vehicles quickly confront the first obstacle - Nemesis I. A steep climb to the left or a crack crawl on the right are the choices, and neither of them are easy, even for the drivers of the Chile Challenge. Our group on Saturday is typical for the event, with 42-inch tires plentiful and lots of tubing in evidence. Believe me, very few of them "cruised" Nemesis I.
As soon as the first couple of vehicles are through, the trail leader heads for one of the primo obstacles of the Challenge - Nemesis II. Situated in a large rock bowl at the bottom of the canyon, the site is crowded with onlookers eager to watch man and machine challenge both rock and gravity. Nemesis II is actually two parallel routes: the original route to the right and the "bypass" to the left. To the uninitiated public, both look supremely ridiculous. The bypass is so dug out from years of vehicular assaults, that it is almost as difficult as the original route. The original route is so vertical, that vehicles seriously assaulting it this year hooked a safety cable to the winch point beyond. As the original route necessitated a winch in 2008, we tried the left side and eventually succeeded in mounting the nasty climb intact and with winch unspooled.
9PhotosView Slideshow
Whew! Always a little pucker on that one. With Nemesis II behind us, we motored on to the rest of Patzcuaro's challenges. The most difficult climb has yet to come, about halfway through the 2-mile-long canyon route. This narrow cleft in the rocks, about one vehicle length in height, can be climbed, but it yields to very few. Only two vehicles in our string of 20 made the climb that day: a buggy whose rear-steer capability allowed it that little extra bit of traction, and a Toyota whose wheelbase shortened the ledge considerably. We were stymied in our attempts, in spite of having climbed it numerous times in previous years. One of the joys of the Chile Canyon trail systems is that Ma Nature rearranges the trails each year, and success one year doesn't mean an easier time the next.
And that is the Big Four from a driver's point of view. These four trails have been adding the spicy heat to the Chile Challenge for many years and are the major trail factors that keep the event one of the premiere rockcrawling stops of the year. We hope to see at least 350 of you there when we attend again next year.

Louis IV, byname Louis the Bavarian, German Ludwig der Bayer, (born 1283?, Munich [Germany]—died October 11, 1347, Munich), duke of Upper Bavaria (from 1294) and of united Bavaria (1340–47), German king (from 1314), and Holy Roman emperor (1328–47), first of the Wittelsbach line of German emperors. His reign was marked by incessant diplomatic and military struggles to defend the right of the empire to elect an emperor independently of the papacy, to consolidate his own position, and to improve the status of his family.
Early life
As the younger son of Louis II, count Palatine and duke in Upper Bavaria, Louis had no claim to the crown by birth. On his father's death in 1294, the 11-year-old boy was made a ward of his brother Rudolf, who was then 20, and of his mother, Mechthild, a Habsburg and a daughter of King Rudolf I. Louis immediately found himself involved in high politics; his brother took the side of King Adolf of Nassau and his mother that of her brother, Albert I of Austria, who was attempting to depose Adolf. Keeping her son out of Munich, she sent him to her brother's court in Vienna, where he was reared, together with his Habsburg cousins, Frederick and Leopold. This circumstance no doubt had a lasting effect on Louis, though he never let political decisions be influenced by family ties. Albert's victory over Adolf of Nassau at Göllheim (July 2, 1298) allowed Louis to assume the share in the government that was his by law but that his older brother had hitherto withheld from him. The rivalry between the brothers, which had flared up again after the assassination of King Albert (1308), ended in 1310 with a partition of territories, which Louis was able to impose on the strength of being the guardian of his Lower Bavarian cousins. But the traditionally anti-Austrian attitude of Lower Bavaria led to a quarrel with the Habsburgs. Having assured himself of his brother's goodwill by means of a compromise (June 21, 1313), Louis gained a decisive victory over the Habsburgs at Gammelsdorf (November 9), while the succession to the German crown, fallen vacant with the emperor Henry VII's unexpected death on August 24, was still the subject of negotiations.
The empire had become an elective monarchy, but counts no longer figured among the candidates. The houses of Habsburg and Luxembourg (Luxemburg), risen to the rank of major German powers as a result of acquiring Austria (1282) and Bohemia (1310), respectively, contended for the throne; had it not been divided into warring lines, the house of Wittelsbach might have been a third contender. On the strength of his victory, Louis, in 1314, became the candidate of the Luxembourgs, who had failed to gain the crown for John of Bohemia, the late emperor's son. The Habsburgs, however, would not acknowledge Louis, though he was grandson of King Rudolf; in the double election of October 19–20, 1314, Louis gained little advantage from the fact that his claims were rather more substantial than those of the anti-king, Frederick III of Austria, crowned on the same day, November 25. Military successes enabled Louis to wrest exclusive control over Upper Bavaria and the Rhenish Palatinate from his brother, who had voted against him; but a permanent settlement with the latter's descendants could be made only after the death of Rudolf, his widow Mathilde of Nassau, and his oldest son, Adolf. The dynastic Compact of Pavia (1329), dividing the house of Wittelsbach into a Bavarian and a Palatinate line, enabled Louis to gain the latter line's support in matters of imperial policy. He failed, however, to achieve a lasting understanding with his Lower Bavarian cousins; that conflict was not settled until this line became extinct in 1340.
Struggle with the Habsburgs
Louis's most pressing problem was the struggle with the Habsburgs. The decisive battle was fought on September 28, 1322, at Mühldorf, where Louis gained victory, taking prisoner King Frederick with his brothers. By April 1323 he could risk investing his oldest son, Louis, still a minor, with the Margravate of Brandenburg, which had been in abeyance since 1319. Territorial aspirations motivated the conclusion of a hereditary alliance with the house of Wettin as well as Louis's second marriage, to Margaret of Holland (1324), which in 1345 led to the accession of Holland and its dependencies. These successes did not sit well with John of Bohemia, who refused to be pacified either by the donation of Upper Lusatia in 1320 or by the marriage of Duke Henry the Elder of Lower Bavaria with a Luxembourg the following year, or by the acquisition, by way of collateral, of the Egerland. Luxembourg finally allied itself with France, and this move, in turn, led to an increased hostility toward Louis on the part of the pope, who was wholly under French influence.
Pope John XXII had taken advantage of the contest for the crown of Germany to appoint Robert of Naples imperial vicar in Italy vacante imperio (in the absence of a Holy Roman emperor) and to threaten the Italian Ghibellines with heresy proceedings. When Louis's own imperial vicar forced the pope and Robert to raise the siege of Milan, the heresy proceedings were extended to Louis himself, who was excommunicated in March 1324. This interdiction, never lifted, exposed Louis's adherents to a conflict of conscience while providing his enemies with a convenient excuse for disobedience. In the eyes of the Curia and of his other enemies, he was thenceforth merely Ludovicus Bavarus, Louis the Bavarian, by which name he lives on in history.
Louis hit back with several proclamations of his own, notably the so-called Sachsenhausen Appellation of May 22, 1324, in which the charge of heresy was turned against the pope. The argumentation ill-advisedly dealt with constitutional problems touching on the empire as well as with doctrinal points. Louis quickly acknowledged this as a mistake and softened its effect, but at this time the Austrians also joined the alliance of France and Luxembourg (July 27, 1324). Louis broke up the hostile combination by agreeing to share the rule with his prisoner Frederick; even so, he overcame Duke Leopold's objections only by further agreeing (January 7, 1326) to abdicate altogether, provided that the pope gave his approbation to Frederick's sole rule. There was little likelihood of that because the Curia was interested in perpetuating the rivalry for the German crown. Its reaction proved to Frederick that he had been callously used; he now became a loyal co-ruler with Louis.
Acceptance of the imperial crown
When Duke Leopold died in February 1326, Louis boldly opposed the pope in Italy itself. Supported by the Ghibellines, he accepted the iron crown of Lombardy in Milan (May 31, 1327) and the imperial crown in Rome (January 11, 1328), offered by the representatives of the Roman populace. This unusual move could be considered an emergency measure because the pope had refused to crown the designated emperor, declaring him a heretic on purely political grounds.
Louis let himself be persuaded to depose the pope formally by a decree of April 18, 1328, and to countenance the appointment of an antipope whose incompetence furnished John XXII with an easy triumph. Moreover, Louis's forces were insufficient to subjugate Robert of Naples or to institute a stable order in Italy, for which he lacked the necessary prerequisite of a firm hold on Germany. Turning to the north again, he celebrated Christmas of 1329 in Trent, whence he had departed for Italy in February 1327.
King Frederick died on January 13, 1330. The problem of shared rule was thus solved. Yet Louis's German enemies had not been idle. John of Bohemia had arranged the marriage of his younger son, John Henry, with Margaret, the heiress of Carinthia-Tirol, in 1330. This caused Louis to enter into a secret covenant with the Habsburgs regarding the partition of this strategically important inheritance (May 31, 1331). He thus encircled John of Bohemia, forcing him to withdraw from Italy, where he had ensconced himself in the guise of an imperial vicar. In order to confuse his enemies, Louis issued a new decree of abdication, hedged with countless provisos, on November 19, 1333; this time he proposed to renounce the throne in favour of his Lower Bavarian cousin Henry. The death of Duke Henry of Carinthia-Tirol in 1335 compelled Louis to invest the Habsburgs with Carinthia, by way of carrying out his part of the secret compact; he also granted them southern Tirol in order to save at least the northern part for himself. But the Habsburgs, in their eagerness to secure Carinthia, concluded an agreement behind his back with Luxembourg, which thus acquired the whole of the Tirol. As a result, the influential archbishop of Mainz came over to Louis's side (June 29, 1337), and Edward III of England made a treaty with him (August 26), thus proving that Louis was a desirable ally on the international plane.
The Germans, tired of the incessant quarrels over the crown, were disconcerted by the pope's intransigence. Through their city magistrates and other representatives, they pressed for legitimization of Louis's rule and the rejection of papal interference. When Louis issued a statement of principle regarding the accession to the imperial throne before the Frankfurt Diet (Fidem catholicam of May 17, 1338), he had the support not only of the cities but also of the empire's ecclesiastical lords. He relied upon this support in promulgating a basic electoral law (Licet juris) in Frankfurt (August 3) and again in Coblenz, where he met the king of England and bestowed on him an imperial vicarate on the Lower Rhine. The promulgation of that law, however, remained an empty gesture because the electoral princes, while assembled at Rhens on July 16, had rejected the pope's claims without declaring themselves in favour of Louis and withheld their approval. The conflict over the crown and the charge of heresy thus continued to smolder. By isolating John of Bohemia and issuing a formal waiver of his own claims to the Tirol, Louis managed nonetheless to force John to renounce all claims to Italy, to declare himself a vassal, and to acknowledge Louis emperor in 1339.
Seeing that the entire clergy of the empire, except for the border bishoprics of Liège and Cambrai, had submitted to his rule and that the English held out the prospect of subsidies, Louis had reason to hope that he could confront the French in battle and thereby make the pope yield. When Edward III declared war on France on September 1, 1339, and had himself acknowledged as king of France in Ghent on January 27, 1340, Louis was in a position to arbitrate between England and France. But the Tirolean question spoiled everything. In November 1341 Margaret expelled her Luxembourg husband, whereupon Louis, declaring that the marriage had not been consummated and was therefore void, married her with ill-considered haste to his widowed son, Louis of Brandenburg, on February 10, 1342. This created an unfavourable impression throughout the empire. Worse, it led to the final rupture with Luxembourg and to Charles of Moravia, son of John of Luxembourg, declaring himself a candidate for the imperial crown now that the king of France, at war with England, was eliminated as a pretender. Louis vainly attempted to propitiate the Luxembourgs by the cession of Lower Lusatia and by the offer of one of his daughters in marriage. They negotiated with him but at the same time encouraged the new, intensely nationalistic French pope to renew the heresy proceedings against him and to demand a new election (August 1343). Once more Louis countered by offering to abdicate, this time in favour of his son, Louis of Brandenburg-Tirol (September 1343). The Luxembourgs maintained the negotiations until Charles of Moravia, who had granted excessive concessions to the pope, gained all electoral votes except the two of the house of Wittelsbach and thus was elected king (July 1346). Preparing himself for the war that had become inevitable, Louis died of a heart attack while bear hunting near Munich in the autumn of 1347.
The Tirolean question
Louis had wanted to raise his family to a royal status like that of the houses of Habsburg and Luxembourg. But he failed to achieve the major prerequisite—the welding of his family into a uniform body motivated by a single political will. He strove for this unity with all the diplomatic and juridical means at his disposal, and the Upper Bavarian law code of 1346 (first formulated about 1335) remains a monument to these efforts. For, while Charles IV did what he could to erase Louis's memory within the empire, Charles's famous edict, the Golden Bull of 1356, represents only the final codification of fundamental imperial laws that had actually evolved under Louis. This codification enabled the empire to stand up to the juridically minded church of Avignon.
Louis possessed courage and tenacity without being rigid. He won men over by a jovial and chivalrous demeanour, and his suppleness, coupled with diplomatic skill, charmed them even as a certain mercurial quality made him appear unfathomable. He was a political man, whose guiding principle remained the honor imperii. Even in his darkest hours he brooked no interference with the imperial rights. It would be unfair to judge him solely by the yardstick of success. It was Louis's fate to repeatedly come up with inadequate resources against adversaries who were talented and powerful.Heinz Lieberich

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
In the shadow of the raging Syrian civil war, the 20,000 Druze who live in the Golan Heights are finally admitting publicly that they prefer life under Israeli sovereignty.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War, and annexed the strategic plateau in 1981. All during that time, the Golan Druze leaned more anti-Israel for fear they would one day find themselves again under Syrian sovereignty.
At numerous points, the West tried to broker peace talks that would see Israel surrender the Golan to Syria in return for peace. The precedent was set with Egypt and the Sinai, and the Druze feared their fate would be similar. Had they dared to openly align with Israel during those years, they knew the Assad regime would respond harshly if it ever regained the Golan.
Now, after 32 years under Israeli rule, the Druze are taking a more pro-Israel stance, even on camera.
Harel Locker, a senior Israeli government official, was recently invited by prominent Druze leaders to visit the main Golan Druze town of Majdal Shams. Among those welcoming the Israeli was local spiritual leader Sheikh Taher Abu Salah.
The Druze asked Israel to allow entry to those of their family members who had, for various reasons, moved back to Syria over the past few decades. They realize now that Israel is the only place they and their families can be truly safe and free to live their lives without persecution.
"The last visit of an Israeli politician to a Druze village in the Golan was in the mid-80s," an Druze leader told Israeli radio. "The politician was Shimon Peres, and he was driven out of town by people hurling eggs. Locker's visit marks a dramatic turnaround."

"Are more and more people in the western world dropping off the radar and becoming the invisible poor or is the opposite happening? We recently heard that an astounding 46 million Americans are officially below the poverty line (That's $23,050/year for a family of four according to the official sources). That number really caught our eye and as such we decided to do a little more digging to help put some more facts and figures around it. Above is a nice visualization of the results we came up with."
