Retired Bethel College professor and Mennonite historian James C. Junke will speak about the Mennonite response to the American Bicentennial in Kansas at noon Oct. 23 on the Tabor College campus.
The presentation will be in the Blue-Gold Room in the student center so those interested in lunch may purchase a meal from the cafeteria or bring their own to eat during his remarks.
Junke has done extensive research at the Center for Mennonite Brethren Studies at Tabor College, the Goessel heritage museum, and the Mennonite Library and Archives at Bethel College, examining closely the response to this American celebration which ranged from extremely patriotic reaction as well as one based in the Anabaptist tradition of pacifism.
Now retired from full-time work, Junke travels and researches topics of interest to the Mennonite heritage.

Ref: The Road to Reality: a complete guide to the laws of the universe, (Vintage, 2005) by Roger Penrose [Chap. 7: Complex-number calculus and Chap. 8: Riemann surfaces and complex mappings]
I'm searching for an easily readable and understandable book (or resource of any kind; but preferably textbook with many worked-out problems and solutions and problem sets) to learn complex analysis and basics of Riemann surfaces - and applications to theoretical physics. (Particularly: material geared towards / written with undergraduate-level physics / theoretical physics students in view).
Any suggestions?
My math background: I have a working knowledge of single- and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations; also some rudimentary real analysis.

I so apologize to all my readers for not blogging and my updating the blog(s). I have been truly busy with this thing called LIFE! Omg, this month May is really full of family, friends, church, and personal events. Last weekend I had 4 events to go too, but only made it to 3...I think that's pretty good, besides, I not trying to wear myself thin and get stressed out again....
I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of
my Sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my
heart that Jesus is your Son, And that he died on the
Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have
Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now
to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and
Savior. I repent of my Sins and will Worship you all the
day's of my Life!. Because your word is truth, I confess
with my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed

Long before your residence Best Boots For Roofing development gets started, be certain to examine the building plan and all related details January 20, 2016 at 9:43 pm. For a great result, listed below are a few house plan common mistakes you have to prevent.
Avoid building excessive small rooms. A residence with a number of larger rooms tends to gain a better reselling valuation and also gets higher prospective buyers rather than a property having excessive smaller rooms Kathryn Perez.
Main bedroom in close proximity to crowded area is a big miscalculation. The master bedroom is your primary place to recover energy after a full day of activity. Position your master bedroom in an area that is not quickly exposed to visitors Best Boots For Roofing.
Building garage far away from the kitchen area is a fault. The reason why to put up garage and kitchen closely is to efficiently bring in goods from your car to the kitchen. One thing for sure is that a growing number of house buyers have a preference for a house 4962 with kitchen and garage built next to one another.
Assuming you plan to make use of a foyer for your dwelling, be certain to spare enough space for it. A reliable home design Best Boots For Roofing gives adequate space for the foyer.

Statistical significance
Statistical significance is a concept from statistics in which an observed result has a relatively small probability of occurring merely "by chance" and thus serves (through an inference) as evidence in favor of a particular conclusion. It arises in statistical procedures collectively known as hypothesis testing.
Statistical significance is closely related to the everyday notion of a "surprising" outcome. As an illustration, consider repeatedly spinning a coin on a flat surface to determine whether it is "fair" (i.e., just as likely to come to rest showing "heads" as "tails"). Because modern coins are designed and manufactured to exacting standards, they are generally assumed to be fair. If we spin the coin, say, 20 times and observe that it comes up heads 10 times, then it is clearly reasonable to retain the assumption that the coin is fair, since the observed proportion of heads is exactly one-half. If, however, the coin comes up heads all 20 times (or, indeed, tails all 20 times), then it is clearly reasonable to conclude that it is not a fair coin. These two statements are surely intuitively obvious, but what is the basis for this intuition? In particular, what if we observed 7 heads or 15? What should we conclude in those cases?
The impression of whether the coin is fair or not is based on how surprising the results are. Given the assumption that the coin is fair, getting 10 heads in 20 spins is not surprising at all, since it is actually the number of heads we can "expect" to get from a fair coin. The farther the observed number of heads gets from 10, however, the more surprised we are. Getting 20 heads in 20 spins is so surprising to most people that they would no longer believe that the coin is fair. Somewhere between 10 and 20 heads (or, at the other extreme, somewhere between 10 and 0 heads), there must be a certain point at which the assumption of fairness becomes untenable. This would be the point at which the results would become "statistically significant". It would also be the point at which the opposite statement that the coin is unfair (or biased) becomes acceptable. (Note, therefore, that the real purpose of the experiment is not to convince us that the coin is fair, but the opposite: to convince us that the coin is biased. The observed evidence either convinces us or we remain unconvinced. We never actually become convinced by the experiment that the coin is fair. This is mainly due to issues related to inductive reasoning and the burden of proof.)
Treating our simple example slightly more formally, we can calculate the probability of seeing different numbers of heads in 20 spins of a fair coin (using the binomial distribution, for those who are interested) and use these probabilities to make a decision about our coin. The less likely our observed results would be when spinning a fair coin, the less believable the fairness of our coin becomes. Stated more simply, the less likely a fair coin would do what our coin did, the less we believe that we're using a fair coin. The statistical term for the point at which results become significant is the "significance level", denoted mathematically by the Greek letter alpha (α) and typically chosen to be a small probability such as 0.05. That is, if a fair coin has less than a 5% chance of giving the results we observed, we conclude that our coin is biased.
A more real-world example[edit]
To see how these ideas are used in real-world studies, consider a randomized, double-blind, comparative experiment designed to test whether a new drug to treat a disease is more effective than an older, standard drug. In other words, patients are randomly assigned to receive either the new drug or the old one, and neither the patients nor the experimenters know which drug they have gotten (although this information is, of course, kept track of through the use of, say, numerical codes). The degree of improvement the new drug provides relative to the old is said to be statistically significant if it is so large that it is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.
To understand what this means, consider the following facts:
- Different patients may respond differently to the same treatment. (There is variability across patients.)
- Some patients may respond better to one drug than another, but which drug is better may be different for different people. (This is another type of patient variability.)
- Even assuming the previous two points, it may be the case that the average effectiveness of the new drug if it were given to the entire population of patients with this disease is no better than the average effectiveness of the old one if it were given to the same population. (There may be no overall benefit to using the new drug over the old.)
Therefore, if any improvement at all is observed for the new drug over the old, there are two possible explanations:
- There is actually no overall benefit to using the new drug and the improvement we saw only occurred because we "just happened to" assign a bunch of people who would do better on the new drug to the group that actually received the new drug, and/or we happend to assign a bunch of people who would do worse on the old drug to the group that actually received the old drug. (In other words, the difference was due solely to which patients ended up in which group.)
- There is an overall benefit to using the new drug (in the population) and our sample results are simply reflecting this fact.
The first explanation, while not very satisfying, is the one that we must initially assume; we can only accept the second explanation if the statistical evidence is sufficiently strong. As in the coin spinning example, this evidence takes the form of a probability calculation. In particular, we calculate the conditional probability (in this context called a "p-value") that we would get similar results (more precisely, results at least as extreme as what we observed, using the same sample sizes) assuming that there is, in fact, no benefit to the new drug. The smaller this probability is (the larger the amount of the improvement, or the larger the sample sizes used in the experiment), the less convincing explanation #1 becomes, and the more convincing explanation #2 becomes. (If the p-value drops below the significance level, α, then the results are designated "statistically significant" and explanation #2 is accepted.)
Note, by the way, that just because an "effect" (the benefit of using the new drug over the old, in this case) is large enough to be statistically significant, that doesn't mean it is actually large in an absolute, real-world sense. For example, the new drug might only give a small benefit (that is nonetheless significant because of the sample size used in the experiment) that is outweighed by considerations of cost or side-effects.
In any case, accepting explanation #2 even though one has not actually tested the drug on every member of the population, makes the conclusion an inference and not a logical deduction. The decision could be wrong, even if the results are highly (statistically) significant. Explanation #1 could, in fact, be the truth. This is why any conclusion based on the statistical analysis of data is fundamentally subject to error (the kind of error being discussed here is usually called a "type I error" or "alpha error"). By carefully controlling for other sources of error (experimenter bias, data collection errors, etc.), and performing a valid statistical analysis, one can quantify the probability of making such an error — something that ad hoc (and most other unscientific) explanations cannot hope to achieve.

Tanti, brother of Suzlon chairman Tulsi Tanti, leaves after only 12 months in the role. At the time of his appointment, Suzlon said Tanti would focus on aligning Suzlon and Repower's supply chains.
Rytter will join Repower on 1 October, his second stint at the company. Before joining Nordex in 2008, Rytter was Repower's chief supply chain officer. Tanti will stay at Repower until Rytter starts.
Speaking about the appointment of Rytter, Repower chief executive Andreas Nauen said: "We'd like to thank Vinod for his commitment and are pleased that he will stay with Repower until his successor starts.
"We are pleased that Lars Rytter is taking on the responsibility of COO at Repower. He knows our company and can get started right away without needing any time to settle in."
The announcement comes as Repower prepared to cut jobs and operational costs. Last month the German turbine manufacturer said it was attempting to cut costs by EUR 100 million for the 2013-14 financial year. It did not reveal where the job cuts would be made.

Free Hi-Res Grunge Border PS Brush Set + Textures
Today's freebie set is all about grunge. It's a pleasure to present to you the latest Photoshop brush set consisting of 11 free high resolution grunge borders. The grunge lines were created by rubbing a graphite stick over straight edges of different objects. As you can see from the banner these PS brushes are great to create grunge borders around your designs as well as to simulate hand-drawn lines. The reason why the lines are diagonal are so that I could make them as large as possible. All lines are between 3000px and 3500px in length. I know that some people prefer to work with textures which is why I made the source files available too. You can download all 11 grunge lines as a single high resolution jpg. All you need to do is cut out the line you require and paste it into your design.
I hope you can put them to good use in your commercial and personal projects. Don't forget to share them if you like them. + Continue Reading

Fairfield, Conn. (March 21, 2012) - Sacred Heart sophomore goalie Ryan Hughes (Bayport, NY) turned in 13 saves, non bigger than his last with eight seconds to play to preserve a 10-9 win over the University of Hartford Wednesday afternoon on Campus Field. Four different Pioneers scored multiple goals to lead SHU to their third win in their last four games, raising their record to 3-4 on the year. The Hawks fall to 2-6.
Hartford struck first just three minutes into the game, scoring man-down just three minutes in. Take Klidonas broke free in transition and buried his fourth of the season for an early 1-0 lead. From there, the Pioneer defense put the clamps on, not allowing another Hawk goal until just before the half.
Sacred Heart's Chris Casey (Duxbury, Mass.) got the SHU offense started with an unassisted goal to the bottom shelf at 5:19. Matt Ferrino (Orchard Park, N.Y.) followed it up with another goal 45 seconds later on the man-up opportunity. Casey capped off the first quarter with his second goal of the game to give the Pioneers 3-1 lead heading into the second quarter.
The Pioneers made it 4-1 as senior Aaron Lupo (Schenectady, NY) buried a feed from Shane Foley (South Brunswick, NJ) at 1:32. The Hawks ended their scoring drought with 41 seconds left in the quarter as Aiden Genik notched his first of two goals to send his team to the locker room trailing 4-2.
Both teams battled their way through an even third quarter, each scoring three times in the frame. SHU's Mike Mawdlsey (Innisfil, Ont.) and Cody Marquis (Londonberry, NH) scored their first of two goals sandwiched around Lupo's second.
The Hawks twice cut the Pioneer lead to just a goal in the fourth quarter with Ryan Compitello scored twice in the quarter for Hartford. SHU's Tim Sanders scored to open the quarter, his first of the year, to extend the lead to 8-5 just 33 seconds in. The Hawks went back-to-back at 12:31 and 11:09, a Kevin O'Shea man-up goal, to pull within 8-7.
SHU's Mawdsley and Marquis extended the lead back to three, 10-7, with goals at 8:17 and 3:45. Hartford's Compitello netted two goals in the final three minutes to cut Sacred Heart's lead back to only one. Compitello followed Marquis at 3:28 and then scored again at 1:31 to give his team a chance to tie.
Hartford got the ball back with 48 seconds left and set up for the chance to tie. Hughes turned away a Jared Franze shot with eight seconds left and the Hawks couldn't get off another as the Pioneers came-away with their third win on the year.
Hughes' 13 saves continued his streak of double-digit saves. For the fourth time this season, the sophomore had posted ten or more saves.

SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings help vibrating screens manufacturer cut temperatures and double bearing service life
The challenge
The SKF solutionSKF assessed the original bearings and found they were of an old design with a machined brass cage. SKF recommended SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings VA405 for vibrating screens instead.
SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings for vibrating applications have a 3-piece hardened steel cage system with an outer ring centred guide ring. This enables the bearing to operate with the lowest possible internal friction and operating temperature, which in turn extends bearing service life.
The resultsThe manufacturer tested the SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings and found that they ran 17 °C (30 °F) cooler than the original bearings, a difference that would effectively double bearing service life.
- Savings from doubling bearing service life: €10 000
- Investment in SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings: -€2 000
- Total savings: €8 000

On Tuesday, there's good news and bad news and in some cases its hard to tell the difference. Uncertainty isn't just about the outcome but how you get there.
Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs reports earnings that fell 70 percent from the previous year.
AIG shares tumble as much as 45 percent on worries that the biggest US insurer will be unable to secure fresh capital after a new round of downgrades.
- AIG Bailout Anniversary: A Video Look Back
- Where AIG Stands 1 Year After Bailout
And Lehman Brothers shares lose what little value they have left as CNBC reports that Barclays will be taking over at least part of the bankrupt company.
The Federal Reserve pumps $50 billion into the financial system on Tuesday, in addition to the $70 billion it added on Monday. The Fed disappoints, however, by deciding to leave interest rates unchanged.
What You Were Reading:
- Options Signal More Volatility Ahead
- Are You Covered if Your Broker, Bank or Fund Fails?
- Will Wachovia Go Out Like Lehman?
"Wall Street is in danger of sinking, the markets are in freefall, and the Fed refuses to throw us a lifeline," Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi's Chris Rupkey tells clients in a note.
But as volatility reigns, even negativity isn't certain.
Some see the Fed's rate-cut reticence as a good sign for markets. Pimco co-CEO Mohamed El-Erian says the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady confirms the central bank is focused on massive liquidity injections for calming markets.
Markets are cheered by Morgan Stanley's quarterly earnings — announced earlier than expected — which declined slightly, but well exceeded analysts' estimates.
Merrill Lynch shares actually gain on market enthusiasm for its purchase by Bank of America. Washington Mutual leads bank stocks higher, surging more than 20 percent at one point on a report that JPMorgan is in talks to acquire it. And Wells Fargo gains on confidence from its position as a money center bank, free from the same level of credit exposure as its peers.
Stocks rally at the close — in part, thanks to unexpected optimism among investors that Lehman and AIG just might work out deals to mend their finances.
What the Experts Were Saying:
Hank Greenberg, former AIG chairman and CEO, speaks out on the firm's troubles.
Bob Doll of Blackrock and Ken Heebner of the CGM Focus Fund weigh in on the Fed's decision to leave rates unchanged.
Steve Forbes, CEO of Forbes, Inc., offers some perspective on the Wall Street crisis.

I'm homeless, and I need shelter and emergency services in Berkeley. What can I do, and where can I go for help?Berkeley offers many options for people who have become homeless and need assistance to return to self-sufficiency. These resources can help you get started:
My landlord has given me an eviction notice. Whom can I contact for assistance on what to do?For assistance with your rights when faced with eviction, the Berkeley community has the following resources available to help:
I am a homeowner and have received a notice of default from my mortgage lender. What rights do I have, and what should I do?There are a series of legal steps that a lender must take before a property is foreclosed. Get the facts! Contact your mortgage servicer or lender (whomever you normally make your payment to each month). If you cannot reach your lender, or need your options clarified call the HOPENOW hotline at 1-888-995-HOPE to speak with a credit counselor at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.If the foreclosure process has started, you may have rights to negotiate with the lender. Depending on your ability to sustain the debt you currently have been paying, and make the new payments on time, you may be able to negotiate a workout plan during the foreclosure proceedings.If you were promised when you originally obtained your mortgage loan that you would be able to refinance, you should contact your lender immediately about refinancing the debt on your house. Interest rates have come down some in the last six months.YOU SHOULD AVOID RESCUE SCAMS. They may get your address and contact information because foreclosures are public information. Do not refinance into another adjustable rate mortgage or other non-fixed rate loan product. It might postpone, but would not solve your credit problem. Call the HOPENOW hotline at 1-888-995-HOPE or see the web site at www.hopenow.com.
I am a tenant in a multi-family building, and I have been given an eviction notice or notice of a rent increase because the building is entering foreclosure. What rights do I have, and what should I do?Foreclosure or sale of a building is not a lawful reason to evict tenants or raise the rent in the City of Berkeley. You have rights! For questions about rent increases and eviction proceedings, call the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Program at (510) 981-RENT (981-7368). Also see the referrals under Frequently Asked Question #5 above.The City of Berkeley Good Cause for Eviction Ordinance states that a landlord must have a good cause to evict a tenant. Eviction resulting from foreclosure is not a good cause for eviction. While a bank or mortgage company becomes the new owner, the situation is no different from the situation in which a building owner sells the property to someone else. In either case, the fact that someone else owns the building is not a lawful reason to evict a tenant.If there is a foreclosure, your rent payment cannot be increased without approval of the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board.If you paid rent to the prior landlord before being notified that there has been a foreclosure, you should be given credit for the rent payment. It is YOUR responsibility to prove you paid the rent. Always insist on getting a receipt from your landlord.

I'm a longtime lurker who finally decided to register on the forum (in no way driven by my need to have a certain question answered, of course...).
I was contacted by a colleague asking for help calcuating an input for a landslide model he's working on. Specifically, the model he's following (the Mora-Vahrson paper/model) asks for the slope input to be not in degrees or percents, but "relative slope." This is obtained by using the formula:
Sr= [(ElevMAX-ElevMIN)/(Area)],
where the the min and max elevations are the lowest and highest points within a bounded area (most commonly 1 square km); these area searches/calculations are carried out across the desired study region without overlap.
I've tried multiple ways to calculate this using my existing skillset (limited; I'm an archaeologist with a background in GIS who was asked to help out...) and program (ArcGIS). I'm using a 90m resolution SRTM DEM for the area and have currently settled on using the Block Stats tool to calculate the MIN (and the MAX) for for a specified area 1000 x 1000m, and then entering those resultant rasters into the Raster Calculator as part of the Mora-Vahrson equation), and dividing by 1 (as the area of the Block Stat calculation, expressed in square km).
What I would like to gauge from more experienced GIS users is whether or not the Block Stats process I described seems to meet the requirements for the model's relative slope component. If anyone else has had experience calculating relative slope or a similar process, I'd be very interested to hear about it. Thanks.

Bill Wells | 01/01/70
It is with great honour that Double Six announces the release of Lemondale by Bill Wells on Monday the 5th of December. The recording was a triumph in itself and testament to Wells' particularly fruitful relationship with the Japanese musical underground.
Assembling fourteen musicians for one day in Tokyo, including Jim O'Rourke on guitar, the event was described as 'a miracle' by Takuji Aoyagi (Kama Aina) one of the musicians on the record. A remarkable meeting, bringing together musicians and schools of music that would be thought to be incompatible even appearing on a bill for a live event, let alone playing on the same record.
Musicians that had never met and had come from different sides of the tracks suddenly found themselves together in the same recording booth. Tori Kudo, self proclaimed Japanese 'King Of Error' was coupled with virtuoso pianist Satoko Fuji, a classically trained graduate of Berkley Music College in Boston.
The recording also brought together instruments as seemingly incongruent and unrelated as a modified electric fan played by Tetsuya Umeda and the entirely unique and heavenly voices of Saya, from Tenniscoats and Kazumi Nikaido, one of Japan's leading contemporary vocalists.
Lemondale simultaneously captures the attendant excitement of a first collaborative encounter and the confidence that comes only from artists at the top of their craft. It is casual and intimate and alive with a charmingly human and playful spirit, of the kind that most music listeners long to be touched by.
On top of working with more exotic musical talent than ever before, Wells is making more beautiful records than ever before. You can hear some tracks from Lemondale below and pre-order it HERE

Last week, we took a quick overarching view of what a protection warrior to the PvP table; control, mobility and the ability to take one hell of a licking and keep on ticking.
We're going to take a deeper look at what the protection warrior brings to the table and exactly how those skills are implemented when you're being chased by a ravenous horde of opposing team members.
For starters, let's take a quick look at the build that you're going to want to run with. The prot pvp warrior has a lot more variation in his build depending on what role you're responsible for and the size of your team. Instead of a spec though, I'll outline a couple of the primary talents that you'll want to look out for.
You're obviously going to take a lot of the defensive options available for you, though maybe not every single one. There's a lot of defense against physical damage in your gear so you shouldn't focus completely on it in your spec. Your defense against casters lies in a combination of your high HP pool and a few key talent choices. Something like Vitality, Improved Defensive Stance and Improved Spell Reflection are all good choices to take against casters.
On the other hand, the tools of your trade and the reason for your presence forces you to take certain other talents like Improved Revenge, Concussion Blow and Warbringer to make yourself useful.
As you walk into that arena or that battleground, keep foremost in your mind your purpose. You are control, pure and simple. By all means, if you see that squishy priest with no more cooldowns and little health trying to run away from your CC'd dps, charge after it and make it dead. But by and large, you're going to want to save your cooldowns to disable the danger members of the opposing team.
Consider that if you toss all of your cooldowns and abilities at a single target without being interrupted, you can keep one or two enemies locked down for upwards of five to six seconds a piece between alternating between your Charge, Intercept, Concussion Blow and Shockwave.
Wait for a time when one of the opposing team is about halfway to dead and then go and pick on the enemy healer for a while to give your team a chance to finish someone off. When your team goes in for a kill, you should concentrate on maybe throwing a token stun at the kill target to keep him in place and then focus your attention on the healer. If you can keep that healer thinking about you instead of the dying team member, you pretty much have a kill.
On the other side of the loaf, you're a powerful force to be reckoned with when it comes to peeling people off of your teammates. Don't let your view be clouded by the enemy. Be aware of the health levels of your teammates and when you see one getting low, DO something about it. Charge the DPS chasing them, stun or interrupt the casters from nuking him to oblivion, dart over to their healer just long enough to make him call for help from his teammates, getting them off your team.
When you're out there, keep your cool and don't forget all of the skills you have at your disposal and all of their various uses. Remember to keep Spell Reflect on cooldown against a caster team, make sure to Disarm their melee and throw Intervenes and Vigilance onto your allies.
You have all of the tools available at your disposal to be an overwhelming nuisance to the enemy team as well as a lifesaver to your own so long as you don't forget to make use of them.

The sky was black. Not the black that leads you to despair, but the black that makes you want to lie back and gaze at it, and for some unknown reason count the glittering, luminous spheres of plasma spread over it generously. I was, however, too self-involved to even care.
Just last Sunday, in one of his restless, philosophizing mood, he had told me, 'I know my dream is to be the guy who has everything -immeasurable, insane amount of money, women , crazy, easy success and all of this without the side effects, of course. I want a peace too, you see. ' After a moment's consideration, he adds, (his voice dipping, making him sound more sincere, less pretentious) ' You'd think having lived all this while shaping a dream this elaborate and to die young, before achieving it would be a tragedy but the catch is that you would have already achieved it in a way then. How? You would then become the person who had almost superhuman potentials a perfect entity, the guy-who-could-have-achieved-anything-he-put-his-mind-to. Your self-doubt, your moments of excruciating insecurities and over-critical self-reflection would then vanish and would have existed in vain. For you, apparently, had what it took to be what you dreamt of.'' His eyes glued to the screen, not staring at anything in particular, just seemed to have forgotten my presence next to him.
The next moment we are busy watching a mindless comedy and laughing our guts out just for the heck of it. He had always been a little strange; 'eccentric', he liked to call himself. This is, probably, why he was the one guy whom I trusted since I was a kid. Maybe his was a case of borderline neurosis, but he knew the line between being selfish and being a cold hearted betrayer and he had always respected it...until one day when he decided to betray my faith on his insanity and jump off the roof.
He just let me stand by and watch him die.
He may have meant it for me to be a part of his grand scheme, his master-plan to make sure he achieves everything he but I refuse not to feel betrayed just because he is dead.
I did not ask to be a part of this and be damned for ever.
I did not ask to be a part of this and be damned for ever.
Today as I saw the twilight hue fade to give way to the black sky, I noticed the sky and the ever-so-many twinkles from the beautiful explosions of gas, performing, as it seemed to me, specially for me.

Grading on the Curve
Actin filaments respond to pressure by forming branches at their curviest spots, helping resist the push.
Jun 1, 2012
Edyta Zielinska
When a cell hits an obstacle, the actin filaments driving the membrane protrusion must reorganize and create additional branches to resist the pressure. Dan Fletcher at the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues wanted to understand what effect that force has on the branching of actin filaments. They first glued unbranched actin filaments to a surface, some curved, some straight, and then added the raw materials necessary for the branching: the branch-initiating complex Arp2/3, the nucleation-promoting factor that activates it, and raw actin monomers, which polymerize into two tightly wound strands under the right conditions.
The researchers found that new actin branches were more likely to form on the convex side, or outer side, of curved segments. The questions were why and how the branching was occurring mostly on that side, says Fletcher. He recalled early studies on actin in which researchers noticed that isolated filaments would wiggle and squirm without the addition of any external energy. Though it was impossible to detect the wiggling at the scale of the isolated branching proteins under a microscope, Fletcher and colleagues wondered if the actin fragments they had immobilized still retained their wiggle, creating momentary curvature in certain areas and generating more branching. To test the idea, the team created a mathematical model to predict actin wiggling, and hypothesized that Arp2/3 would only bind when the curvature of the filament was greater than a certain value, and then imposed all the constraints of the experiment: the glue that held a filament down, the addition of Arp2/3, and the overabundance of raw actin proteins. The model fit.
When people think of mechanotransduction, they usually think of adhesion proteins, says Fletcher. But this study shows that "actin itself can be a sensor of its physical state," and that the "structure that's bearing the load may help organize the cell." The results additionally hint at the possibility that some of the other 100 or so actin-binding proteins may also be regulated in part by the curvature of the strand. Curvature may turn out to be a "general mechanism for signaling during migration or other mechanotransduction processes," says Harvard Medical School's Jessica Tytell, who was not involved in the research.

President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, National Park Service, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and Institute of Museum and Library Services Announce $15.6 Million in Grants to Save America's Treasures
Today, the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH), National Park Service (NPS), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) jointly announced the awarding of $15,600,000 in Save America's Treasures (SAT) grants to help preserve and protect our nation's irreplaceable cultural heritage. Through the Congressionally-appropriated Historic Preservation Fund's SAT program, 80 projects in 36 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will receive funding for critically needed repairs and restoration efforts for some of the nation's most threatened historic places, archives, and artifacts. A list of funded projects is below.
"These Save America's Treasures grants help ensure that the nation's priceless cultural heritage will be passed on to future generations of Americans for many years to come. From monuments to manuscripts, the rich and varied stories of American democracy are being preserved and told," said Adair Margo, Chairman of the President's Committee.
The Save America's Treasures program addresses the urgent preservation needs of the nation's most significant historic sites and collections. The program is administered by the National Park Service in partnership with the President's Committee, NEA, NEH and IMLS. The NPS awards and administers grants for historic structures and sites, including historic districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects. The NEA, NEH and IMLS award and administer grants associated with collections, including artistic works and memorabilia (NEA); documents, papers and photographs from the nation's historical past (NEH); and cultural, historical and scientific artifacts (IMLS). Grants must be matched dollar-for-dollar with non-federal funds.
Among the new grant recipients are the New York City Ballet, founded by the legendary George Balanchine, which will preserve its collection of sets, films, costumes and musical scores. The bus in which Rosa Parks helped inaugurate the civil rights movement will be restored in Dearborn, Mich. by the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. In Chicago, the Field Museum will use funds for conservation of objects from dozens of prehistoric and historic Native American cultures. Boston's Old North Church, the landmark church of Paul Revere's famous ride, will restore its deteriorating windows. The Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama will produce copies of recorded oral history interviews with surviving Airmen. In Washington State, the famed tugboat Arthur Foss, which carried supplies to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush, will be restored.
"Preserving historic place and museum collections helps us all understand better what it is to be an American," stated NPS Director Fran P. Mainella. "The 80 Save America's Treasures projects we award today ensure that more of our irreplaceable tangible heritage will survive to educate, inspire and enrich the lives of this and generations of Americans yet unborn."
IMLS Director Dr. Robert S. Martin said, "In the act of preserving historic, cultural and scientific artifacts we stand at a unique crossroads, keeping alive the stories of generations past for the benefit of generations to come. It is a pleasure to take part in this partnership to Save America's Treasures."
NEH Chairman Bruce Cole stated, "Our past is told in many ways, through historic papers, through music archives, through historical artifacts. The National Endowment for the Humanities is delighted to be a partner in preserving that heritage."
"It is important that we continue to document and preserve our country's significant artistic achievements," according to Eileen B. Mason, Senior Deputy Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. "By maintaining our nation's diverse cultural treasures -- from LOOK Magazine's photography archive, to the Flint Institute of Art's unique accumulation of works by three centuries of American artists, to the extensive Hawaiian Cultural Collection at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu -- we ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to discover the depth and beauty of our country's rich artistic heritage."
The NPS received 389 grant applications from eligible federal agencies; state, local and tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations. A panel of experts representing preservation and conservation disciplines reviewed the applications and recommended 80 awards totaling $15.6 million for approval. Selection criteria required that each project be of national significance, demonstrate an urgent preservation need, have an educational or other public benefit, and demonstrate the likely availability of non-federal matching funds.
Since FY 1999, 384 grants totaling $124.9 million have been awarded to preserve nationally significant and endangered historic buildings, structures, places, and archival and art collections. To date, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Midway Island have received grants.
Additional information on the Save America's Treasures program can be found on the PCAH website at www.pcah.gov, the NPS website at www2.cr.nps.gov/treasures/index.htm, or by contacting the NPS at 202-343-9570.

The Save America's Treasures program is funded by Congress and administered by the National Park Service in partnership with the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Grants support preservation and/or conservation work on nationally significant intellectual and cultural artifacts, including archaeological artifacts, collections, documents, statues and works of art; and nationally significant historic structures and sites, including historic districts, buildings, structures, and monuments. The program was launched in 1998 as a public-private partnership that included the National Park Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, to protect the nation's threatened cultural resources. It grew out of the recommendations of the landmark report Creative America, published by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in 1997.
Each Save America's Treasures grant requires a dollar-for dollar match from non-federal sources, a requirement that has stimulated contributions from states, localities, corporations, foundations and individuals who value our shared heritage. The minimum federal funding level for collections projects is $50,000 and for historic property projects it is $250,000. The maximum grant in all categories is $1,000,000. Since the program's inception, grants have been awarded in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Midway Island.
Eligible to apply are nonprofit organizations; federal agencies; and state, local and tribal governments. The 2002 deadline for applications was April 5. The selection panel comprised of preservation and conservation experts met to evaluate applications and make funding recommendations. Selection criteria required that each project be of national significance, demonstrate an urgent preservation need, have an educational or otherwise clear public benefit, and demonstrate the likely availability of non-federal matching funds.
Information about the Fiscal Year 2003 program will be available at a later date.
Grants are being awarded to 80 projects in 36 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. By law, each award requires a dollar-for-dollar non-Federal match. A large number of states, localities, corporations, foundations and individuals who value our shared heritage have already pledged to support these important projects through financial contributions, donations and in-kind services.

I remember before the 2006 election being at a fundraiser in Los Angeles for the Democratic Party when one of the featured guests was Rep. John Conyers. The issue of impeachment came up and the crowed roared in approval when Conyers said that if the Democrats took control of Congress, he would become head of the powerful House Judiciary Committee and would initiate impeachment proceedings. That, he said, was one of the reasons why it was so important to go all out to get Democrats elected.
Fast forward to July 23, 2007. About 300 of us gathered at Arlington Cemetery, convened by peace mom Cindy Sheehan, to march to Cong. Conyers office to demand that seven months after coming to power, he fulfill his promise about initiating impeachment proceedings. Shouting "Conyers, Conyers need a reason? Torture, lies, war and treason," the angry crowd packed the halls outside the Congressman's office while Cindy, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern and former Conyers' protégé Reverend Yearwood met with the Congressman inside.
A hour later, they emerged stone-faced and disillusioned. Cindy said that Conyers had told them that "impeachment isn't going to happen because we don't have the votes" and that "our only recourse was to work to get a Democrat in the White House." The crowd booed and 45 people sat down inside and outside Conyers' office. They were arrested by the Capitol Police as the supporters shouted "Shame on Conyers" and "Arrest Bush and Cheney, not the peacemakers."

Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
While the arrestees were being booked, about 40 activists visited the office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We know that from the day she became Speaker, the Congresswoman has insisted that impeachment was off the table. She has refused to support H. R. 333, the bill introduced by Cong. Dennis Kucinich to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney for high crimes and misdemeanors. With 13 co-sponsors, the resolution is destined to languish without ever coming to a vote, thanks to both Conyers and Pelosi.
We told Pelosi's chief of staff, Terry McCullough, that it was totally irresponsible for the Speaker to say that impeachment was off the table. When her chief-of-staff replied that the Speaker's priority was ending the war, not impeachment, we all insisted that the two were intertwined and certainly not mutually exclusive. We also reminded her that the people of Pelosi's district were overwhelmingly in favor of impeachment, and that they would start looking to newly announced candidate Cindy Sheehan for representation.
The arrest of impeachment activists and their forcible eviction from Conyers' office today is proof of the bankruptcy of the two-party system. It is shameful that Conyers and Pelosi are putting their perceived interests of their party above the Constitution, which clearly makes impeachment the remedy for dealing with presidential "high crimes and misdemeanors". With the Democratic leadership refusing to rein in an administration run amok, it is crystal clear that we, the people, must uphold the Constitution. People's power, like the kind in evidence today in the normally solemn halls of Congress, is our only hope.
