If anything emerges as constant in American Catholic history, it is the undercurrent of yearning among Catholics to be part of the broader U.S. society.
Wanting the security and legitimate comfort of financial independence, American Catholics have made an incalculable positive contribution to the nation's economy and quality of life. Catholics have been hard-working, honorable and creative participants in every area of professional and public life.
Our churches, by calling us to God and to following God's law, have brought a precious gift to the society. So have our schools, from our great universities to the smallest of kindergartens and day care centers.
Catholics, since the Revolution, have heroically offered their lives, and in so many cases have given their lives, to defend our national democracy and to protect human rights abroad.
To be blunt, we Catholics have earned our place at the national table. It is a record of which we Catholics can be very proud and a record that all our fellow citizens must respect.
The problem has been when Catholics in the United States have yielded to the temptation of entering the cultural and philosophical current in order to be part of, or to feel that they are part of, the mix.
Long ago, this inclination, plus the force of a majority not Catholic, and of a cultural heritage also not Catholic, led to the strategy of "live and let live."
It was the Catholic reaction to Prohibition. Since so few Americans alive today remember Prohibition, it was the period between 1919 and 1933 when nothing less than a Constitutional amendment forbade the production, sale and transport of alcoholic beverages.
This area has a distinctly anti-Catholic overtone. Many Catholics could take or leave a drink, but their religion taught that alcohol in moderation was not itself wrong. This Catholic accommodation of drink, versus the rigid condemnation of alcohol as intrinsically evil as proposed by most Protestants, made Catholics different. The difference threatened, or many assumed that it threatened, the ability of Catholics to better themselves in this culture.
Catholic politicians at the time responded by saying that, in the American way of personal freedom, Prohibition should be set aside. If anyone frowned on drink, then he or she simply should not drink, but do nothing to deny anyone else access to alcohol.
Descendants of these Catholic politicians, in some cases literally genetic descendants, follow the same philosophy with regard to abortion or whatever.
Our Sunday Visitor often has challenged this view. This column, however, is not so much repeating this challenge as it is a warning.
Very clearly we are entering a stage of social evolution in this country in which Catholic Americans will find themselves categorized as being outside the mainstream. This morning, for example, just by perusing the local daily newspaper, I found two articles in which two very historic "mainline" Protestant denominations had taken steps to accept "same-sex marriage."
This is my point. In this particular matter, "same-sex marriage," I am convinced, we Catholics more and more will be separated from other Americans precisely because of our views on the subject.
Catholics, if history is a guide, will react in several ways. Some, maybe many, will live and let live. Some will say that the Church is old-fashioned, heartless and out of step. Others will stand their ground.
Those who hold dear traditional Gospel values, as taught by the Church, will show that they know that, beyond anything uniquely American, human life always has been enormously brighter when guided by the Gospel — literally.

The announcement last week that SCE&G and state-owned utility Santee Cooper were pulling the plug on construction of two nuclear reactors in Jenkinsville has left questions that keep multiplying.
In the run-up to the decision, one factor driving it was that the partly-completed, multibillion-dollar project would provide more power than electricity consumers in South Carolina were likely to want.
Canceling the project, though, could lead to a shortfall.
Suppose you do not believe in God, or in any god at all.
Maybe you believe the universe and everything in it, including yourself, resulted from pure chance or maybe a serious accident of nature. Maybe you believe that everything is utterly devoid of meaning. It is all your choice.
Three years ago, Lancaster County Republicans, seeking to improve the level of service in county government, fielded a candidate for probate judge.
Jerry Holt lost in a close race to a two-decade Democratic incumbent. Holt challenged the status quo in the probate court, calling for reforms in the office to improve service, make the office more customer-friendly and prepare for the county's continued growth.
According to recent court statistics, these reforms are needed now more than ever.
Tax credits can be some of the worst policies a government can pass.
Taxes, as a rule, should be broad-based (everybody pays them) and low-rate (nobody pays much). Tax credits usually violate that principle – after all, tax cuts are different from tax favors. The former lower the overall burden for everyone, and the latter make exemptions for favored businesses, individuals, or sectors at the expense of everyone else.
And of course, targeted tax credits are often used for economic development – or so the claim goes.
I have been watching the actions in Washington for the past several weeks with great interest and have come to some conclusions.
First, regardless of how you feel about Donald Trump, he has been the catalyst to prove what we have suspected about our government – that we the people have very little control of the "government by the people." We are the "sheeple" that are needed to justify career politicians' existence.
If you stop and really think about it, this is the most fundamental question one could ask about our state and nation.
And the answer says a lot about the kind of people we are as a state and a nation.
The American Dream is both very simple and very profound. It has been the driving force behind our country since its earliest days.
We all have our own slightly different definitions of the American Dream. This is mine: If you work hard and play by the rules, your children will be better off than you are.
According to a contract obtained by the Post and Courier, the former head of the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, Catherine Templeton, accepted a contract with the agency just one day after she left her position in January 2015.
As DHEC director, she was paid $13,500 a month. After signing her no-bid consulting contract, she was paid $17,300 a month – a 28 percent increase.
In a ranking of states by total energy costs, South Carolina is solidly in the middle, at 24th most expensive.
When the costs of electricity, natural gas, motor fuel and home heating oil are averaged and combined, state residents spent $278 per month.
That's much better than the most expensive state, Connecticut, at $380, and much worse than the least expensive, Washington, at $226. (The District of Columbia is even lower, at $219.)
More curious is the ranking of states just on monthly retail electricity costs.
Dimple Ajmera, a Charlotte City Council member, said last week that any Republican who supports President Donald Trump has no place on the city council or in the Charlotte mayor's race.
Her liberal Democrat self-satisfaction is off the chart. She and her party consider themselves the epitome of compassion, empathy, goodness and light, while believing that conservative Republicans are full of greed and hate.
It was 10 years ago this month that I began developing plans for what would eventually become the state's fiscal transparency website – one of the first such sites in the country. The goal was to provide citizens easy access to details about how state government spends their money.

Bluffton High's Mackenzie Cooler has verbally committed to play volleyball at the College of Charleston, according to the National Collegiate Scouting Association recruiting site.
Cooler, a junior outside hitter, recently was named to her second SCHSL all-state team. She helped Bluffton sweep its way to the Region 8-AAAA title and reach the second round of the Class AAAA tournament in the fall.
Bluffton went 35-17 with two players selected to the all-state team: Cooler and fellow junior Jordan Franklin. The 6-foot, 1-inch Cooler spent part of last summer training with a USA Volleyball select team in Des Moines, Iowa.

Cyclocross Basics
The word "cyclocross" invokes a unique blend of images and sounds. Mud-splattered cyclists running up hills with bikes flung over their shoulders. Riders smoothly dismounting, leaping over barriers, then jumping back on. Loud cheers, the clanging of cowbells, camaraderie and fun. Indeed, 'cross is arguably the most approachable bike racing discipline. Most amateur races last just 45 minutes, and the wide array of ability-based categories make it beginner friendly.
Never heard of cyclocross, you say? Here's a quick primer. The sport traces its roots to Europe, where it developed as a way for road racers to stay fit during the winter. Cyclocross courses are typically 1.5-2 miles in length, usually consisting of pavement, dirt trail, grass, and if Mother Nature is acting up, a little mud or even snow. Courses also include obstacles such as barriers, steep hills and sand sections, which force racers to dismount their bikes, negotiate the obstacle, then get back on and start pedaling again. Expect to do 5-7 laps of the course during a race.
The cyclocross season runs mid-September to mid-January. And while the sport's epicenter is central Europe, there's a thriving and rapidly growing 'cross scene in North America. Hotspots such as Oregon, Colorado, the Carolinas and New England boast at least two races per weekend throughout the fall and early winter months. Entry fees typically run $25-$35, and there are almost always beginner races for those new to the sport.
The Bikes
Cyclocross bikes look similar to road bikes, save for a few modifications. Tires are slightly wider and have a small amount of tread for better traction on dirt and mud. Cantilever style brakes are used to provide better clearance in muddy conditions, but disc brakes are becoming increasingly popular. And the frames are generally a little sturdier to better absorb the rougher riding conditions. But if you don't have a cyclocross bike, don't fret. Most races permit the use of mountain bikes as long as they don't have bar-ends.
Additional Equipment
Because cyclocross races are held on muddy fields, they require a few extra pieces of equipment, as discussed below.
- Mountain bike shoes are necessary because they have lugged outsoles which give you traction and make it easier to run
- Mountain bike pedals provide superior mud clearing abilities, making it easier to clip back in after running through a muddy field
- Warm riding clothing, such as long sleeve jerseys, skin suits, or knee warmers may be necessary since most 'cross races take place during the colder months
Basic Skills
Before you sign up for a race, it's best to practice a few basic skills. The most iconic, and intimidating, of these is the flying dismount-remount. To practice, head over to your local park, find an open patch of grass, and try dismounting your bike, running while carrying it, and then getting back on at speed. This will seem awkward at first, but with practice you'll get the hang of it.
- Make sure both hands are secure on your handlebars
- Unclip your right foot and swing it behind the bike over to your left side
- As your right foot hits the ground on the left side, unclip your left foot
- Start running
Negotiating Obstacles
Depending on the obstacle, you'll likely want to pick your bike up either by shouldering it, or employing the "suitcase" method where you simply carry the bike out to your side. Shouldering is more ideal for running up steep slopes or negotiating lengthy obstacles, whereas the "suitcase" method is preferable for small, immediate obstacles.
- Shouldering
- To shoulder your bike, grab your down tube with your right hand, then snake your arm through the frame, and lift it to your shoulder
- Secure your bike in place by reaching around the front of the frame and grabbing your handlebars on the opposite side
- Suitcase
- For the "suitcase" method, simply grab your bike securely by the handlebars with your left hand, and by the top tube with your right hand
- Lift it as high as needed to clear the obstacle.
- Shouldering
- Set your bike down smoothly so it doesn't bounce around
- Place both hands back on the bars
- Hop back on by swinging your right leg over your saddle and landing your foot back on the right pedal
Don't worry if you're clumsy at first. It takes a little practice to perfect these unique skills.
Once you get a few races under your belt, you'll see and feel the difference in your on-road and off-road riding. Bike handling skills will improve, and you'll be able to maintain fitness in the off-season without spending all your time indoors on the stationary trainer.

China's April inflation rises more than expected
BEIJING China's inflation rose slightly in April amid concern about the strength of its economic recovery.
Consumer prices rose 2.4 percent over a year earlier, up from March's 2.1 percent gain, data showed Thursday. A more modest 2.2 percent increase had been expected. That still is well below the government's target of 3.5 percent for the year.
Inflation is forecast to rise gradually as a shaky economic recovery boosts consumer demand. But mixed signals about factory activity, which slowed in April, and doubts about the strength of trade have raised questions about whether the recovery is gaining traction.
The world's second-largest economy is limping out of its deepest slump since the 2008 global crisis. Growth unexpectedly declined to 7.7 percent in the first three months of this year from 7.9 percent the previous quarter. Analysts say the economy is being shored up by state-led investment and bank lending and could be vulnerable if trade or investment weakens.
Government data showed April trade growth accelerating but analysts said export figures might be inflated and the recovery might be weaker than it looks.
The government's growth target for the year is 7.5 percent, above Western levels but well below China's double-digit rates of the past decade.
The weak first-quarter figures prompted the World Bank and private sector forecasters to cut full-year growth outlooks, though to still-robust levels of about 8 percent.
April's price rise was driven by a 4 percent gain in food costs, up from March's 2.7 percent rate. Food prices are especially sensitive in a society where families spend one-third to half their incomes to eat.
Wholesale prices fell 2.6 percent from a year earlier, accelerating from March's 1.9 percent decline.
Some analysts say inflation might be restrained due to the impact of orders by President Xi Jinping to Communist Party officials to cut spending on banquets and other frills to mollify public anger about corruption.

Through education, Holocaust Museum Houston seeks to broaden minds to promote mutual respect and understanding between young people. The Museum, in conjunction with the Mayor's Anti-Gang Task Force and the Houston Housing Authority, established the Youth and the Law program for at-risk students and gang-affiliated adolescents.
Using the Holocaust as a backdrop, this program teaches participants to recognize the similarities of Nazi behavior to today's street gangs. It strives to help students acknowledge the destructive nature of their behavior and encourages them to re-evaluate their lifestyle and choices.Students assigned to the program through the judicial systems are asked to consider:
The program takes place over three days, with each session lasting two to three hours. All three sessions are designed to be interactive and meaningful. The roles of individuals – as identified in the Holocaust – of victim, perpetrator, rescuer/upstander and bystander are defined. Students are asked to evaluate which role they assume in various situations. Youth and the Law is a closed program, open only to students assigned to the program through the judicial system.

Man rescued after kayak overturns
MILFORD -- A 47 year-old man was rescued from Long Island Sound after his kayak overturned Wednesday night.
The man had been in the 63-degree water for some time and was shaking and complaining of leg cramps when he was found, officials said. He was not wearing a life jacket. The kayaker, who was not identified, was brought to Milford Hospital.
The man told members of the Milford police department's Marine Unit that he had launched the kayak from Gulf Beach but that a large wave had caused it to overturn. Police and fire department boats were dispatched at about 5:40 p.m. after a person reported a boater in distress near Charles Island.

In sum, I dont know whether a handful of takes singular or plural verb?
It's plural to me.
I would. Some other native speaker might disagree. Collective nouns can be a matter of style or local preference.
I think it depends on whether we're dealing with a countable or uncountable noun. Consider the following sentence which I found in Google Books:
There is a handful of sand on the floor, and I fear someone will step in it and fall.
(The Inter-mountain Educator, Volumes 15-16)
I think that "are" would be less likely here.
However, in your sentence I would also use the plural form of the verb.

I would just like to comment briefly about your editorial in the March 14th edition titled "Sensible Concerts at Forest Hills (FH) Tennis Stadium."
I would agree totally with the main point that "the type of music events at the 15,000-seat FH Tennis Stadium might just be the key to the solution for both sides of the debate on holding concerts again at the West Side Tennis Club".
The only time I saw a concert at the stadium was when I attended a Joni Mitchell concert there in 1979. It was a very memorable evening and a capacity audience was on hand. Despite the large crowd, there were no problems before, during or after the concert.
I was very impressed by the surrounding residential neighborhood, and found Forest Hills to be very accessible by public transportation from Manhattan (a very short ride on the LIRR).
Since then, I have attended outdoor summer concerts virtually exclusively at the venue at Jones Beach. I find this latter stadium rather inconvenient by public transportation from Manhattan (a much longer ride on the LIRR to Freeport, followed by a bus ride to the beach).
The Forest Hills Tennis Stadium is a beautiful outdoor arena that is totally underutilized. I really hope that they will someday resume summer concerts at Forest Hills. I hope your paper will continue to champion these efforts.

Latin America's financial sector needs to prepare for new risks
In stark contrast with Latin America's rich history of financial crises and turbulence, this time around the region's financial systems have weathered the current global volatility and the Great Recession rather well.
Why should then one want to conduct an extensive study on financial issues in Latin America and the Caribbean? We think the study, Financial Development in Latin America & the Caribbean, the Road Ahead, is timely because the region still faces substantial developmental gaps and issues that require attention.

Medway, MA — Cybex International Inc.'s second quarter net sales and net income were down in the second quarter compared to the same period last year, mostly due to a sudden drop in sales at the end of March, Cybex Chairman and CEO John Aglialoro said in a conference call with analysts last month.
Net sales were $33.1 million, 4.6 percent lower than the $34.7 million for the corresponding 2007 period. Net income was $128,000 compared to $1.1 million for the corresponding 2007 period.
"At this moment, serious issues of credit, debt levels, consumer spending attitudes, and commodity prices are affecting the global economy, the U.S. economy, our fitness industry and, certainly, Cybex," Aglialoro said in the call. "For now, I'll restate what was reported at this meeting at the last quarter in April, and that is that the orders dropped suddenly at the end of March, affecting second quarter results."
In the second quarter, cardiovascular equipment sales were down about 8 percent to $17.3 million, Art Hicks, president and COO of Cybex, said in the call. The decrease in cardio equipment was mostly due to the sale of Arc Trainers plummeting almost 17 percent in the quarter. The company will introduce the Arc 2 later this year, which Hicks said should reinvigorate that line.
"Treadmills were up a little bit in the quarter, mostly the effect of the new 750T, which seems to be well received in the marketplace," Hicks said.
Strength equipment sales were down 4 percent to $12.8 million. The company's new VR1 line of selectorized equipment was up in the quarter, but most other strength lines were down, Hicks said.
The other sales categories were up 16 percent at $3.3 million, he added. North American sales were down just under 5 percent, and international sales were down 4 percent. Selling, general and administrative costs were down 3 percent at $265,000 in the quarter, Hicks added.
Despite the sales downturn in the second quarter, net sales increased to $72.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008, compared to $69.4 million for the first six months of 2007. Net income, however, was still down for the six months, coming in at $1.4 million compared to net income of $2.2 million for the corresponding period in 2007.
Aglialoro noted that the company's first quarter had double-digit revenue gains and solid earnings. So far in the third quarter, the company has had an increase in orders.
"Although I can't predict the third quarter at this point yet, we have an excellent product map, a good balance sheet, and favorable indication for the industry — and Cybex at large — into the future," Aglialoro said. "The culture change, I believe, is authentic. People are exercising more. Health clubs are opening more and more because of the benefits of exercise."
The company began preparing for the possible downturn last fall.
"We upped prices pretty well at the end of 2007 with the idea that we might need to really start doing some price promotions or be prepared to take less margins," Aglialoro said, adding that he doesn't foresee price increases now. "I think we're priced attractively, and if this upturn in orders continues throughout the industry, I hope — because what affects the industry affects Cybex — I think we'll be in pretty good shape."

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Detroit's financial woes, which have culminated in the largest U.S. municipal bankruptcy filing, are pushing up borrowing costs for municipalities across the country.
Prices for long-term municipal bonds, including those issued by cities, fell broadly Friday, sending yields on AAA-rated bonds with 30-year maturities up 11 basis points, according to Thomson Municipal Market Data. The drop, which contrasted with an advance in Treasury prices, follows Detroit's decision Thursday to seek bankruptcy-court relief with more than $18 billion in liabilities.
"If you are a market maker today, you have to be cautious because you don't know what the market impact is going to be," said Matt Fabian, managing director at Municipal Market Advisors, citing reports from traders, in an interview.
The city filed its petition Thursday under Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, moving negotiations with its creditors into federal court just months after the state of Michigan appointed a receiver to try to avoid that.
Municipal bankruptcy protection gives Detroit breathing room to iron out a restructuring of its long-term liabilities, but it also cues up a legal battle with its 100,000 plus creditors that could take years to resolve.
The petition filed by Detroit dwarfs the next-largest municipal bankruptcy case, filed by Jefferson County, Alabama, in 2011. Two cases filed last year by Stockton and San Bernardino, Calif., stoked fears of a wave of bankruptcies, but muni market experts largely agree that a spate of Chapter 9 cases is unlikely in the near future.
Detroit's long, slow road to insolvency hasn't come as a surprise to the municipal market, which has been tracking the city's decades-long decline in auto manufacturing. In fact, many in the market saw a bankruptcy filing as inevitable.
But the sharp haircuts asked of creditors in a restructuring proposal released last month have raised red-flags about the sanctity of some general obligation bonds — unsecured debt backed by the full faith and credit of a municipality — whose assumed safety helps give the municipal market its status as a place for grandma and grandpa to park their money.
Questions about Michigan's accountability to bondholders led many investors to say they wouldn't buy debt from the state of Michigan or its other municipalities, which would increase their cost of borrowing, said Fabian.
While prices on Detroit's unsecured debt continued to drop this week, trading at less than 40 cents on the dollar, the impact on borrowing costs across Michigan hasn't yet been fully felt, said Dan Toboja, vice president of fixed-income trading at Ziegler Capital Markets.
"So far there hasn't been as much change," he said. "The secondary market has been so sporadic that there's not a lot of follow-through to other Michigan credits."
Exchange-traded Michigan bond funds fell Friday. The Eaton Vance Michigan Municipal Bond Fund US:MIW fell 1.10%. The BlackRock MuniYield Michigan Quality Fund MIY, -0.15% dropped 1.23% and the Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund NUM, +0.08% fell 1.02%.
Detroit's bankruptcy filing gives no direct suggestion that others will follow suit. Analysis of nearly 800 municipalities has actually shown improving cash flow in the past three years, said Richard Ciccarone, chief research officer at McDonnell Investment Management.
Nonetheless, major cities that aren't immune to financial troubles could see their borrowing costs rise in the wake of Detroit's filing, he said. In particular, Ciccarone cited Chicago, which had its Moody's Investors Service rating downgraded three notches to A3 on Thursday due to unfunded pension liabilities; New York City, which flirted with insolvency back in the 1970s; and Fresno, which has struggled with its own budget troubles.
"The more they have a correlation with Detroit, the more likely you will see some spread widening on it until the market sorts that out," Ciccarone said.
Because Detroit has long been known to have financial problems, Thursday's move didn't spur much panic-selling of Detroit debt from institutional holders. But heavy media coverage of the Detroit filing may be pushing retail investors to run for the hills, Fabian said.
Individual investors have bolstered munis in the past few weeks as rising Treasury yields and bond fund outflows spurred a selloff in the market. Muni fund flows recorded their eighth straight week in the red, The Bond Buyer, which cited Lipper data. An exodus of retail investors on top of that may take its toll on the market.
In his restructuring proposal last month, Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr asked unsecured creditors, including pensioners and bondholders, to take a fraction of what they were owed by the city as a recovery. He also halted payments on some of the city's debt.
Orr, a bankruptcy attorney who took Chrysler through its bankruptcy, managed to reach a deal with Detroit's swap counterparties, but couldn't hammer out solutions with most of the other creditors, leading to the filing yesterday. Orr has said he hopes for a speedy bankruptcy, but the Chapter 9 process has been known to take years to complete.

- Don't call the metadata stored procedures
Many invocations of DB2 for z/OS stored procedures come from a Java(TM) or a CLI application. The software stack for these programs accessing DB2 for z/OS is through a "driver" program. These driver programs have SQL packages bound to DB2 for z/OS, and in the case of the application invoking a stored procedure, there is a fair amount of code executed in the driver program.
For a CLI program (the term CLI is often used interchangeably with ODBC) -- this is usually something running from a Microsoft(TM) application accessing DB2 for z/OS. The DB2 connect software that includes the driver for DB2 for z/OS has some smarts in it so that if the application is coded using incorrect data types for the stored procedure being invoked, the driver recovers and invokes the SQLPROCEDURECOLS metadata stored procedure on DB2 for z/OS to find out what the data types are and then re-sends the stored procedure call to DB2 for z/OS. Yes, you got it right, this means that a poorly coded application can invoke 3 stored procedure calls for every SQL CALL it's trying to do -- one to the original SP, one to SYSIBM.SQLPROCEDURECOLS, and then again to the original SP with the correct parm types! How do you recognize this? Well, you could run a client-side DRDA trace and it will show up there. Or you can look at statistics at the server. Or you can set the value DESCRIBEPARAM=0 in the db2cli.ini file on the client, and let the applications get the error SQLCODE -301 because now the driver won't do the metadata PS call and instead will let the application fail due to using the wrong datatype. Same result if you issue a -STOP PROCEDURE (SYSIBM.SQLPROCEDURECOLS) ACTION(REJECT) command on the DB2 for z/OS server.
For a Java(TM) program, the current driver is the DB2 Universal Java Driver, and it will not invoke the metadata stored procedure. So this is an excellent reason to switch to the current driver, because the older version of the driver went through the CLI code path and had the same problem as described above.
Note that if you invoke a stored procedure from the command line (the CLP), that code will always invoke the SQLPROCDURECOLS stored procedure since the command line doesn't provide anything for what data type the arguments are.
Now, if you are stuck with a CLI program that you can't modify, what can you do to improve the performance of SQLPROCEDURECOLS? Well, APAR PK57017 just shipped which reduces the size of the package for this stored procedure, so you can free up some EDM pool usage and get a small CPU usage improvement. You can also be sure you run RUNSTATS so that the data access for this SP is the most efficient it can be. I have also heard rumors of some customers creating additional indexes on the tables used by SQLPROCEDURECOLS, but I don't have any specifics on that, sorry.

Beloved '60s pop-rock icons the Monkees will make a bittersweet swing through Boca Raton this summer for their first concert here since the 2012 death of Davy Jones near his South Florida home.
Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork reunited last fall for a popular 12-stop, cross-country tour --- Nesmith's first dates with the band since a scattering of 1997 shows in Britain. The summer tour will be an extension of those fall shows, which included tributes to Jones that may not leave a dry eye in the house.
Tickets for the trio's July 27 performance at Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster outlets and at 800-745-3000. Reserved seats are $35.50-$121.50.
Presale tickets and VIP packages go on sale at Monkees.com at 10 a.m. Wednesday and at Ticketmaster.com 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Thursday (password: heyhey). The VIP pack includes a copy of the upcoming deluxe reissue of "The Monkees Present" from Rhino Handmade.
Along with such hits as "Last Train To Clarksville," "I'm A Believer," "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone," the concert will feature a multimedia retrospective of rare film and archival photographs.
Nesmith, Dolenz and Tork will be backed by a seven-piece band for part of the show, but also perform an unaccompanied set of tracks from their 1967 album "Headquarters."
In a November review of a sold-out Chicago Theater performance by the Monkees for the Chicago Tribune, Chrissie Dickinson called the evening "an emotionally disarming multimedia show that, for all its backward glance, felt fresh and electric."
She also described moving tributes to Jones, who died of a heart attack in Indiantown in February, 2012 at age 66.
"The greatest emotional wallop came during 'Daydream Believer,' a signature hit originally sung by Jones. Dolenz explained that the band had been in a quandary as to who would sing it. They decided to let the audience do the honors. 'This song belongs to you now,' Dolenz said."

Osborne pledges criminal action against banks and traders
More action to tackle wrongdoing in the financial sector will be unveiled by Chancellor George Osborne on Thursday.
The measures will include making the manipulation of the foreign currency markets by banks a criminal offence.
In a keynote speech he will promise to target "the unacceptable behaviour of the few and ensure that markets are fair for the many who depend on them".
There has been increasing concern about whether the multi-trillion pound foreign exchange market was rigged.
In his annual Mansion House speech, Mr Osborne will pledge the extension of legislation used to clean up after the Libor interest rate-fixing scandal.
As well as bringing the forex currency market under this legislation, it will be extended to those who trade in commodities, and also to the fixed income market, where the most common type of products traded are bonds.
The chancellor is also expected to establish a joint review by the Treasury, Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to look into how these markets operate.
Mr Osborne will say: "The integrity of the City matters to the economy of Britain.
"Markets here set the interest rates for people's mortgages, the exchange rates for our exports and holidays, and the commodity prices for the goods we buy. I am going to deal with abuses."
A crackdown on malpractice in the financial industry has been gathering pace.
The FCA has stepped up investigations into the sector, and the recent Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards prompted a new legal regime for executives.
But there has been particular concern recently about the forex market, where traders police themselves.
BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed said: "A new set of storm clouds are gathering over UK banks. The foreign exchange market is under investigation. The allegation is fraud."
'Big fines'
He said: "Companies that operate around the world use the foreign exchange market to buy and sell currencies so that they can trade in different countries.
"Our pension funds also use the market so they can invest globally. If wrongdoing is proved, banks could be facing fines.
"The chancellor will say that any manipulation could affect the amount people pay for foreign currencies when they go abroad, as well as the amount companies pay."
It has been reported that at least 15 banks are being investigated by regulators around the world for alleged forex manipulation.
Martin Wheatley, the head of the FCA, said recently that the allegations, if substantiated, could be "every bit as bad as Libor".
The Libor revelations involved the fixing of the interest rates at which banks lend to each other. Banks around the world have so far been forced to pay fines totalling more than $6bn.
Also in his speech, Mr Osborne is expected to rule out the UK opting in to European Union rules on market abuse, which are due to come into force in 2016.
The Treasury argues that the UK's own regulations retain the flexibility needed to protect London's role as a global financial sector.
Labour's shadow Treasury minister Cathy Jamieson said the chancellor's review was "too little, too late".
She said: "We pressed ministers to regulate commodities markets and the full array of financial benchmarks back in 2012, but the chancellor failed to act."

A Philadelphia man was sentenced on Thursday to two years in prison for making threats on a YouTube video against Eric Cantor, a Jewish US congressman from Virginia, and members of his family.
Norman LeBoon pleaded guilty in November to making the threats. He admitted that he used his cell phone camera and computer to record the threats and then posted the resulting video on YouTube on March 26, 2010.
Federal prosecutors characterized Mr. LeBoon's video statement as "extremely disturbing."
Although the First Amendment protects free speech in general, it is a well established crime to make threats of violence against the president, members of Congress, or other government officials.
The issue has come into sharp focus with what some analysts say is an escalation of hostile political rhetoric among elected officials, party operatives, and television pundits. Those dangers were underscored with January's mass shooting and attempted assassination of US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords by a constituent whose mental state is in question.
LeBoon's statement said in part: "My Congressman Eric Cantor, and you and your cupcake evil wife… Remember Eric… our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you're a Lucifer, you're a pig, a greedy [deleted by The Monitor] pig, you're an abomination, you receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer's abominations."
The statement was posted on YouTube at a time when multiple threats were being made against members of Congress in early 2010 following the heated debate over the health care reform law. In addition, it was posted one day after news reports that a bullet was shot through the window of Cantor's campaign office in Richmond.
No one was in the office at the time. Richmond police said it appeared the bullet was not aimed at Cantor or his office, rather it was the result of someone firing a gun into the air.
They said the bullet struck the window at a sharp angle and landed on the floor of the office one foot inside the broken window.
"The FBI has concluded that [LeBoon] had nothing to do with this shooting, which is believed to have been 'random gunfire,' " court documents say.
"Threats against public officials at any time are extremely serious and have the potential to chill political discourse, in addition to seriously impacting the lives of the officials and their families," wrote Assistant US Attorney Robert Reed in his sentencing memorandum. "Such threats are more serious than threats made to a small group and should be punished accordingly."
In addition to the two-year prison sentence, US District Judge John Padova in Philadelphia ordered that LeBoon be subject to three years of supervised release during which he must continue to undergo mental-health treatment and be prohibited from accessing to the Internet.
The judge also required LeBoon to be subject to be subject to home detention and wear an electronic monitoring device for the first 60 days of his supervised release.
Judge Padova ordered LeBoon to avoid any contact with Congressman Cantor and members of his family.
The investigation of LeBoon began the same day his threatening video was posted on YouTube. In the days following, federal agents traced the IP address used to post the threatening video from Google to Verizon Internet Services.
They found LeBoon at the listed address. After receiving Miranda warnings, LeBoon admitted making the video. He also told the agents he was the "son of the god of Enoch," and that god spoke through him. He informed the agents that Cantor was "pure evil," that he "will be dead," and that Cantor's family was "suffering because of [god's] wrath."
"It is clear from the competency examination of the defendant in this case that the defendant has suffered from mental illness over many years," Reed's sentencing memorandum said. "It is equally clear that when he is not taking appropriate medication, he uses illegal substances and has, to say the least, a very inflated image of himself."

Sirnaomics Advances Its Novel siRNA Therapeutics Against HPV Infection and Cervical Cancer
|(Nanowerk News) Sirnaomics, Inc. announced that the company has made a major breakthrough in its novel small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic product against human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer which was presented by Dr. Alan Lu, Executive Vice President of Sirnaomics, in the 28th International Papillomavirus Conference held in San Juan, Puerto Rico from Nov 30 th to Dec 6 th, 2012. Dr. Lu's presentation received the Mary M. Pater Memorial Award, which commemorates the late Dr. Mary M. Pater (1937-1994) for her lifetime combat on tumor viruses, by the Conference Organizing Committee.
|Sirnaomics is a leading biopharmaceutical company in the discovery and development of siRNA therapeutics. The company's mission is to advance siRNA therapeutics by using its proprietary multi-targeted siRNA design and screening together with nanoparticle-mediated siRNA delivery vehicles. Through in-house efforts and collaborations, Sirnaomics has developed nanoparticle-based siRNA delivery systems in three generations: the self-assembled nanoparticles (1st), the ligand-directed nanoparticles (2nd) and the infrared-activated nanoparticles (3rd), for various types of therapeutic applications. Based on these two technology platforms, Sirnaomics has developed an enriched pipeline of siRNA therapeutic product candidates, including STP705 for improvement of skin wound healing with minimized scar formation, STP601 for treatment of ocular AMD/diabetic retinopathy, STP702 for treatment of respiratory influenza viral infection, STP909 for treatment of HPV infection/cervical cancer, and candidates for several other therapeutic indications.
|During the presentation entitled "Dual-targeting siRNA Therapeutics for Treatment of HPV Infection and Cervical Cancer", Dr. Lu reported that two siRNA duplexes targeting both HPV16 and HPV18, the two major cancerous strains, were formulated with a histidine-lysine co-polymer into nanoparticles. Using a rabbit skin papilloma model challenged by a chimeric human-rabbit papillomavirus, a topical delivered siRNA treatment was able to abolish the papillomavirus growth due to the silence of a viral protein expression. This innovative therapeutic program was the result of a collaborative effort between Sirnaomics and Professor Neil Christensen's lab at the Penn State University College of Medicine.
|"The progress of this novel siRNA therapeutic candidate (STP909) being recognized by the HPV research and clinical communities demonstrates the scientific merit of Sirnaomics in discovery and development of the unique siRNA therapeutics for unmet clinical needs," said Dr. Patrick Y. Lu, President and CEO of the company. "The collaboration between scientists from Sirnaomics and Penn State University College of Medicine provided a solid foundation for this significant breakthrough," Dr. Lu further emphasized.
|Sirnaomics, Inc. is a privately held Delaware corporation headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. Established in 2007 by a group of leading scientists in the field of RNAi technology, the company is pursuing the mission of advancing RNAi technology with novel multi-targeted therapeutic development. The company has established its subsidiaries in Suzhou and Guangzhou, China to expand its R&D and manufacturing capacities, and potential market as well. Members of the senior management team bring extensive experiences in biopharmaceutical, financial and business management industries. Supported with funding from angel investors, corporate partnerships, government grants and venture capitals, Sirnaomics has developed a strong portfolio of intellectual properties with an enriched product pipeline. The therapeutic areas of interest include regenerative medicine (wound healing), diabetic complications, respiratory viral infection, HPV and cervical cancer, among others. (www.sirnaomics.com)

Hi Shobhaa!
How do we get hold of you to write a 500 word article in our Magazine in Melbourne, Australia?
I thought I'd start with the lamest approach, hence mooching off a comment to ask for favours.
If you come to think of it, stalking skills need a new level of evolution when you're trying to get hold of 'pahunchi hui hasti(s)' like yourself.
spat154 at gmail is where I live. Please flick a line if this interests you and we'll take it from there.

I made these cookies to give out at the hospital when Harper was born
Sugar Cookies:
3 1/2 cups (460 grams) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon (4 grams) baking powder
1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Royal Icing Using Egg Whites:
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 cups (330 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar, sifted
For Sugar Cookies: In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until you have a smooth dough.
Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about one hour or until firm enough to roll.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Remove one half of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (1 cm). (Keep turning the dough as you roll, making sure the dough does not stick to the counter.) Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheets with the unbaked cookies in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to chill the dough which prevents the cookies from spreading and losing their shape while baking.
Note: If you are not going to frost the baked cookies, you may want to sprinkle the unbaked cookies with crystal or sparkling sugar.
Bake cookies for about 10 minutes (depending on size) or until they are brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Frost with royal icing, if desired. Be sure to let the royal icing dry completely before storing. (This may take several hours.)
Frosted cookies will keep several days in an airtight container. Store between layers of parchment paper or wax paper.
Makes about 36 - 4 inch (10 cm) cookies.
For Royal Icing with Egg Whites: In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the egg whites with the lemon juice. Add the sifted powdered sugar and beat on low speed until combined and smooth. The icing needs to be used immediately or transferred to an airtight container as royal icing hardens when exposed to air. Cover with plastic wrap when not in use.
I used the color gels from Wilton that you can get from Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby to color the icing. Just a small little dab will color it plenty.

Our Fitness Blog
Guns, guns, guns! Guns aren't just for boys anymore! Ladies want tight, toned arms as well, especially during the summer months when we are going sleeveless. The ticket to great arms is really the most basic of exercises. THE PUSH-UP. Push-ups engage the abs and core, as well as your back and of course arms. This assists in losing weight all over your body! You don't need any equipment and you don't even need a gym! You can do them at the office or with your kids. So, are you doing your daily amount of push-ups to get this look? If push-ups are your least favorite thing….don't be worried! I have an easy way to get you there. Follow my proven, step by step program to get you there in just 4 weeks or less.
LEVEL 1: FORM IS KEY!!! I can't stress this enough. In order to get stronger we first need to focus on perfect form and for most people, this means doing them on our knees first, but go all the way down, chest to floor, with your chin up.
By dropping your neck down you will never get stronger. Period. By going chest to the floor and chin up, you will engage the proper muscles. Do 20 push-ups a day this way for 2 weeks. This will actually get easier really fast, and that's encouraging!
LEVEL 2: Now, starting at week 2, you'll need to first 'bridge' correctly on your toes, neck neutral as seen here: Next, drop ONE KNEE ONLY without moving anything else, so you are literally still in a straight line, neck neutral, etc. but part of your body weight is relieved as seen here:
NOTE: Both toes are still on the ground. Now, do the same movement…go down, chest to the floor and chin up. It is critical here not to start dropping the neck down again. This is more challenging because we have added the element of being up on just one knee, so don't expect it to be as easy. Keep your hips and spine neutral; don't raise your butt up towards the ceiling. No cheating! Do 20 a day this way:
LEVEL 3: In two more weeks (or sooner) you will be ready to go up on both toes!
Keep the same form as we have stated above and do as many as you can, aiming for 20. If you cannot do all 20 this way, then drop only ONE KNEE when you've reached your limit on both toes and finish out the reps to 20 on the one knee. Remember: once you can do them up on both toes, you never go back down to the knees until you've exhausted all efforts on the toes first, and you'll NEVER do them on both knees again! Every lady that I have coached this way immediately notices a DRAMATIC difference in the muscles she uses during the push-up process. She also notices a much faster improvement in strength and definition than the method she was using before. It's an easy method to follow and it WORKS!
FUN FACT: If you do 20 push ups a day, that's 7,300 push-ups a year….Try it! NOTE: When you are at 9Round doing the circuit, and a push-up is part of any exercise, whether it's during a round or between rounds, use the same techniques I'm about to explain when performing them during your 9Round workout. If you are on LEVEL 1, perform them that way. Once you move up to Level 2, perform them that way and so on. Point being, whatever level you are on using these guidelines, perform your push-ups on that level at 9Round as well until you move up to the next level.

Really long many words: week 7 | Honi Soit
"We ask students to explain their theses in 200 of the 1000 most common English words" summarizes Stephanie White, Honi Soit.
|Last year Steph White wrote a History and Philosophy of Science honours thesis on the problem of Underdetermination of theories by evidence as it applies in Bayesian and simple deductivist models of theory choice.
In science we try to find the truth, but we usually have many theories that work with the evidence we have. This means we do not know which one is true. This is bad because everyone thinks science knows what the truth is. In this long paper I explain how this problem exists in the theory of chance worked out in numbers, and show that it is the same problem as when you model science as a yes or no question.
If we think of science as a series of choices between theories then science may have forward movement to the truth. In this long paper I explain why this forward movement can happen in a good way, and will lead us to an end point of a theory about the world that is true. This would be good for science.
